So I just found the original script of Gunpowder Milkshake and the fact that Scarlet and Anna May were so explicitly gay in it but it was all cut makes me so sad/angry.

I do understand why in the final version Anna May didn't forgive Scarlet so quickly. I think in that short amount of time it makes more sense for her to stay bitter a bit longer as she did in the movie but lord WE COULD'VE HAD A NECK KISS

I really hope we will still get that sequel and this last scene will be part of it. We deserve explicit ScarletMay 🥺 we deserve to see them kiss

Link to full script here

Image IDs under the cut

[Image ID 1: SCARLET: There’s a pretty good chance they’ll shoot me on sight.

EVA: I’m willing to take that chance.

SCARLET: I’m serious.

EVA: Ma, they’re your oldest friends. More than that, in some cases.

SCARLET: (heartbroken) I don’t think we’re friends anymore.]

[Image ID 2: Anna May, rifle in hand, is about to climb in the passenger seat. Scarlet walks over to her. Anna May looks away.

SCARLET: I have to go help her.

ANNA MAY: And you need my permission?

SCARLET: I can’t bail on her again.

ANNA MAY: Why? You’ve gotten pretty good at it.

SCARLET: I thought I was doing the right thing. For her.

Anna May lets out a breath, letting go of fifteen years of anger. She turns to Scarlet.

ANNA MAY: You were doing the right thing.

SCARLET: (surprised) What?

ANNA MAY: I mean look at this place. That’s no way to raise a kid.

Scarlet is overwhelmed. There are so many things she wants to tell Anna May.

SCARLET: I missed you.

ANNA MAY: (in a good way) Oh, fudge you.

SCARLET: Fudge you.

Anna May takes Scarlet’s hand.

ANNA MAY: Just meet us at the diner. Come back in one piece, OK? Both of you.

Scarlet nods and lets go of Anna May’s hand. She takes one last look at Emily and turns away.

ANNA MAY (CONT’D): Wait.

Anna May pulls an ornate wooden box from the van. She hands it to Scarlet.

ANNA MAY (CONT’D): I kept the girls ready for you.

Scarlet opens the box. Inside it sit TWO BEAUTIFUL IDENTICAL HANDGUNS. White, etched with floral engravings. A gorgeous song starts playing. DAUGHTER’s YOUTH. It’s the only thing we hear as -

A SLOW MOTION SEQUENCE BEGINS]

[Image ID 3: INT. THE CABIN’S LIVING ROOM - MORNING WE FOLLOW Eva as she walks downstairs. She peeks into the living room and sees:

Anna May sits at a table, reading a book. Scarlet walks out of the kitchen. One hand in a splint, the other holding a cup of coffee. She walks over to Anna May and hugs her from behind. They move together to music coming from a nearby radio. Scarlet kisses Anna May’s neck.

EVA: Will you two get a room?

The two women laugh.

SCARLET: Oh, please. You’ve seen worse.

FLORENCE (O.S.): God knows I have.]

drinking hot cocoa in small cafés with eccentric professor bob?

- @bradshawsbaby 💕

Darling, this is such a good one for these two! Saying I got carried away would be an understatement because this turned out to be almost 600 words. Apparently, I can't control myself. I hope you like it!

winter vibes prompts open for: eccentric professor bob, librarian bob, mob boss bob, and rhett abbott

From the table, she watches Dr. Floyd order from the barista with an easy smile. It’s rare she gets the see the professor let his guard down, but watching the scene in front of her makes her wish he would do it more.

She’s not sure where they stand. They spend more time arguing than doing actual work, and more often than not, she wants to claw his eyes out or rip out her own hair. He’s grumpy and unbearably stubborn, but she can’t help but want his approval.

He thanks the barista and walks back to their table, holding two steaming mugs in his large hands. She spends more time thinking about those hands than she should. It’s becoming a problem.

“Here,” he says and places the mug in front of her. The scent of chocolate and cinnamon fills her nostrils, and for the first time all day, the corners of her mouth turn up.

“Thank you.” Lifting the mug to her lips, she sips and lets the chocolaty deliciousness warm her from the inside out. She hums in appreciation. “That may be the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had.”

He lets out a breathy chuckle. “Yeah,” he agrees. “Anna knows what she’s doing.”

They sit in silence for a while, sipping their drinks and watching the first flakes of snow fall outside. It’s peaceful, a whole hour from the hustle and bustle of campus.

“Imogen.”

She looks at the professor, shocked that he used her first name. It sounds foreign on his lips, but good. She could get used to it.

“What?”

He pushes his half-empty mug to the side and leans his forearms on the table, eyes locked on hers. “Are you alright?”

Instantly, tears start prickling behind her eyes, and she looks down so he won’t see. She’d hoped he wouldn’t ask. She doesn’t want to cry in front of him, doesn’t want him to see her at her lowest.

The lie he won’t believe comes easily. “I’m fine.”

“You’re not fine.”

She raises her eyes again. “I think I know if I’m fine or not.”

He glares at her, daring her to argue again. There’s a part of her wants to, simply because it’s what they do, but then he reaches for her hand and gives it a quick squeeze. “You don’t have to tell me,” he says, voice deep and gravelly with the slightest accent she still can’t place.

“It’s stupid,” she mumbles, brushing away the traitorous tear that dared fall.

“Hey,” he whispers, placing his index finger under her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “I didn’t take you to my favorite spot outside the city for nothing. Whatever it is, it’s not stupid.”

She stares at him. He’s so different from the person she’s gotten to know over the last couple of months. The man sitting in front of her is warm and caring. He offers gentle touches and shows her a place he usually keeps to himself. He keeps a lot of things to himself, and no matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to chip away at that hard exterior. He’s offering her a piece of himself.

His thumb brushes over the knuckles of the hand he’s holding, and a shiver runs down her spine at the feeling. His eyes are bright and crystal blue, and they’ve been haunting her dreams for weeks. The idea of kissing him is on her mind a lot these days, too.

Imogen takes a deep, shuddering breath. “It’s a long story.”

Happy last Thursday of July! We’re celebrating with three new short story releases!

Title: Entanglement Series: Sunrise Over the Black Forest Author: Lyn Weaver

m/m, established relationship of convenience, mutual pining, aren’t roadtrip invitations always platonic clearly there’s no feels here

Two years into their not-relationship, Sevan disappears for a week, only to appear at Kel’s church with a simple invitation: for Kel to accompany Sevan on a two-week trip to the edge of the Black Forest to observe the forest expanding its borders.

How does a cursed forest become larger?

When the trees get up and relocate, of course…

Title: Little Witch’s Apothecary Series: May of the Mountain Author: J. D. Harlock

studio ghibli meets fandom vibes, modern with magic, love potion shenanigans

Desperate for money to pay off her debts, May opens a small apothecary stand in Jdiedet. It’d be far more enjoyable work if the clientele didn’t constantly break into her manga reading time…but she supposes she’ll cook up a love potion for the local librarian. If she has to. If only to ensure the library continues getting new volumes for her to read.

Title: Awkward and Oblivious Author: R. L. Houck

f/f, modern, fluffy, bonding over a sick pet

When the trucker Alex finds a sick puppy abandoned by the side of the road, she races to get the poor dog to a veterinarian that can help. Several appointments later, the now-adopted Mako is on the mend and Alex has a favorite vet office.

Now, if only Alex could figure out how to get the oblivious Dr. Anna to respond to her awkward attempts to ask her on a date…

Get these charming stories, and many more, by visiting the Duck Prints Press store now!

What I think several of the Disney Princesses' lifestyles may be like in a Modern AU :

. Snow White - Basically is an overworked maid at a cruel rich woman's mansion, then quits and becomes a baker at a fine patisserie....and then leads a socialite/cultural patron lifestyle after she marries Florian ( who is an air force captain in a Modern AU )

. Cinderella : Similar case with Snow White btw except she went from being An overworked maid to a socialite/art patron after she and Kit ( who is a wealthy investigative lawyer in a Modern AU ) got married

. Aurora : Was a florist at a fancy botany shop before leading a socialite/ladies newsletter runner lifestyle after she and Prince Philip ( who is a naval captain in a Modern AU )

. Ariel : Becomes a marine biologist

. Belle : Becomes a librarian in a grand Museum

. Jasmine : Basically is an heiress/model/socialite in Saudi Arabia. Her dad basically owns a huge artifacts business, and her Indian mom is a leading diplomat from India in the Riyadh International Embassy. And then Aladdin is a young upstarting musical artist in Saudi Arabia when they first met in person. Cue both of them being amongst celebrity couples in Saudi Arabia, where Jasmine eventually has her own jewelry/cosmetics line.

. Moana : Becomes a marine biologist who is also an advocate for indigenous rights

. Pocahontas : Becomes a naturalist in wildlife reserve park and an advocate for indigenous rights

. Tiana : Similarly with in Princess and the Frog and also becoming a BLM advocate

. Malina : Goes from being a secretary in Kuzco's Enterprise to becoming acting co CEO ( similarly with Pepper Potts' arc here )

. Elsa : Becomes a diplomat for Norway in UN, and also a cultural patron

. Anna : Becomes an art gallery exhibitionist and curator in Norway

. Rapunzel : Becomes an art curator and teacher in an art museum

. La Esmeralda : Becomes a famous folk dancer and an advocate for anti Romani sentiments

. Megara : Becomes a diplomatic agent in Athens

. Maid Marian : A social journalist before opting for a socialite/ladies newsletter runner lifestyle after she and Robin Hood gets married while Robin Hood becomes a govt agent ( similar case with Jacqueline Bouvier btw )

. Kida : Becomes a naval captain and an advocate for indigenous rights

. Merida : Becomes a zoologist and a HeforShe advocate

. Mulan : Becomes a diplomatic agent and a HeforShe advocate

Xena vs. Anna May

Remember: don't vote on "who would win in a fight", but on "who, when given a task that fits her skillset and talents, would do that task better: more comprehensively, faster, with more pizzazz, with less collateral, etc."

Endorsements! "What is she good at?"

Xena, Xena Warrior Princess: She has many skills. Fighting, healing (she invented cpr and field medicine and triage, etc), tracking, she has various spiritual powers, she can beat up literal gods, she gave birth to the messiah (which isn't precisely something she was competent at but it's worth mentioning), she's the queen of strategy and also she can embroider.

Anna May, Gunpowder Milkshake: Leader of the 'librarians' (who deal with guns more than books), Anna May is a badass fighter and leader.

YO YOU GOT ANY COOL WOMAN'S HISTORY FACTS ALSO HISTORY IS POG LIKE I GOT A LECTURE WORTH OF STUFF ABOUT JAMES CAGNEY

Oh my god SO MANY! Where do I even start!! Here is a quick and short rundown of some of my favorite womens history facts:

Women in the military during ww1 and ww2 is one of my favorite subjects. Let's talk about that for a second:

Women served in every branch of the U.S. military throughout both world war 1 and world war 2

Did you know women served in the US Army and as such were stationed in every front of the war during WWII?

Female switchboard operators served in the trenches of France during ww1.

The most feared bombers in ww2 were Russian women flying wooden planes and physically throwing the bombs out

Women were the ones to help break enemy codes

Women helped planned D-Day

Russian snipers were fierce badasses.

We have computers thanks to women. Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Hedy Lamar, etc.

DNA's double helix form was discovered by a woman. Rosalind Franklin.

Women got us to space by performing complex mathematical calculations by hand during launches.

Science Fiction was started by a woman. Mary Shelley.

One of the most fearsome pirates ever was a woman. Ching Shih. She was undefeated and was one of the few pirates who retired.

Hypatia was the last last librarian of the Library of Alexandria and is said to be the first female mathematician

The first female historian was Anna Comnena of the Byzantine empire

Sybil Ludington was a 16 year old girl who joined the famous "Midnight Riders" and rode from Putnam County, New York to Danbury, Connecticut to warn of advancing British troops.

Hatshepsut is the the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. She was the second historically confirmed female pharaoh, after Sobekneferu

Deborah Sampson was a woman who served in the army during the American Revolution. She disguised herself as a man and served admirably

We wouldn't have airplanes without Katherine Wright who made sure her brothers had everything they needed. She ran their family shop, booked speaking engagements for them, was basically their marketing director and made sure these two idiots didn't die from starvation.

Agent 355 was a female spy in the Culper Ring during the American Revolution.

Virne “Jackie” Mitchell, a pitcher, was the first woman in professional baseball. During an exhibition game, she struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

The first novel. As in the very first novel. Written by a woman. Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the Tale of Genji in 1000 AD

The earliest recorded female physician was Merit Ptah, a doctor in ancient Egypt who lived around 2700 B.C. Many historians believe she may be the first woman recorded by name in the history of all of the sciences, making her achievement all the more impressive

Victoria Woodhull ran for president in 1872.

Julie d’Aubigny was a French bisexual opera-singing sword fighter from 17th-century France. A total badass.

Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to go in space.

Stephanie Kwolek was an American chemist who invented Kevlar

Lyudmila Pavlichenko is the most successful female sniper in human history. Initially barred entry into the Red Army to due to her sex, Lyudmila would go on to rack up 309 confirmed kills in WWII. Her terrifying skills as a sniper and impressive kill count earned her the nickname “Lady Death” from her German enemies.

Nancy Wake who killed an SS Officer with her bare hands

Khutulun was the great-great-granddaughter of legendary conqueror Genghis Khan. Taught the inner workings of military life by her father, Khutulun became a skilled and powerful warrior. For her marriage, she proposed a challenge: any man that could best her in a wrestling match would have the honor of taking her hand in marriage. If they lost, they would have to give her a horse.

Boudicca was a queen of the Iceni tribe of Celtic Britons, who led an uprising against the conquering forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61.

Honestly I can go on forever. There are so many amazing and interesting women in history and I can't learn enough about them. This is only a very small list and a condensed version of their stories. I highly recommend looking into each of them more.

Blood Kink with Anna May ~Kinktober 2023

Happy October 24th!!! On the daily docket is a Blood Kink hehe… And our character is another from Gunpowder Milkshake, Anna May. Enjoy!! 💙🎃

Previous Day <—found here!

Kinktober 2023 <—Here!!

Mommy… Master List

Requests & Prompt-List

Warnings: NSFW, 18+!!, smut, blood kink, scissoring, pussy grinding, scratching, blood, swearing, more implied future smut, etc.

Enjoy (;

Your nails dug into Anna May’s bare back as your cunt ground against hers. The sounds of sex echoed through the room, your legs being interlocked together as you scissored each other to high heaven.

As you both crashed into your first highs of the night, your nails dug into the woman’s skin even further. When you finally pulled apart a bit, after catching your breaths, you saw that your fingers were red with her blood.

“Oh Shit Anna May I’m so sorry that must have hurt fuck I—!!” You rambled into an apology.

But Anna May merely looked at you with wide and dark eyes. She suddenly popped two of your bloody fingers into her mouth and sucked them, moaning at the taste of her own blood. She removed your now clean digits and took the rest in her mouth, a couple at a time, effectively cleaning them and moaning after every one.

You watched wide eyed and mouth agape as Anna May did this.

“Don’t be” the brunette hummed.

“I… what…?” You stammered.

“Don’t be sorry” she repeated herself, “I think it’s hot…”

“Me drawing blood…?” You repeated in shock.

The woman smirked and nodded.

“Scratch harder” She instructed you.

Your mouth went dry. You nodded.

“Ok” you choked out.

So you went another round. And you scratched harder. And you made her bleed…

And the Anna May had you clean it up with your hands, only for her to lick your hands all clean with her tongue and hot mouth. The sight made your mind go all fuzzy. You didn’t think you’d seen anything as attractive as that woman licking blood from your hands.

You made yourself a mental note to start being on the lookout of new ways to make Anna May bleed…

~~~

Next Day <—Discipline Kink!!

( anna sawai , cis-woman , she/her ) — one day the sea will sing of NAKANO KIMIKO, the thirty-one year old writer from the town of cynefin. there will be verses about a message scrawled and shoved into a bottle — tossed out to sea and left to wash up along the shore, the empty space left by a page torn right from the binding of a book, ink spilled and smudged on a worn sheet of paper, and a ribcage filled with flowers… but they are all dead — dead… dead in the hums of their hymn, about a person who is trained in the magic of khemia. the land will know them as someone adaptable and sagacious, but perhaps, you’ll hear the old crones hiss that they are insoluble and acerbic. only the shadows of the ocean floor will bear witness to the truth. ╱ steph, 29, she/her, est.

( pedro pascal , cis man , he/him ) — amongst the faces lining the staff portrait wall, you recognize ARTURO VALIENTE, the forty-eight year old professor within the school. having spent one year as a member of the verum staff, students say that they’re reminiscent of battered chainmail laid to rest alongside a life's purpose, blood-rimmed canines as you grin & bear an unimaginable pain, a stoic strength reminiscent of trees as old as time itself, a piercing gaze as you wrack your brain for an answer that simply won't come, and a cavernous divide between your students — half of them sycophantic, half irreverent. their dogged and venerable temperament brings color to these halls, but be warned, you may also find them to be unforgiving and brutal. regardless, hopefully they’ll remain when it’s time for verum to open its doors again. ╱ c, 23, they/she, pst.

( tamino amir , cis man , he/him ) — the halls of verum academy is home to PROSPERO ESKANDER, the twenty-four year old student of decomposition. listen to the whispers that follow them through the door of the death of the superego classroom, the ones about a morbid fascination with entropy & its inevitability, the steady rhythm of pacing footsteps as piano hands thumb through the pages of a centuries-old book, the imperceptible twitch of an eyebrow upon noticing a fatal flaw, and the rustling of inky feathers just before a crow takes flight, a charm that comes so naturally that you can't help but be unnerved. once they graduate, their legacy will be one that is ingenious and courtly in nature, but the records will not mention that they are known to be acerbic and duplicitous, too. they are, after all, the future of verum. ╱ c, 23, they/she, pst.

( emilio sakraya , cis man , he/him ) — one day the sea will sing of SALIM NOVAK, the twenty-seven year old soldier from the town of cynefin. there will be verses about sparks created by the clashing of swords, the hand that catches you right before you fall, a white eye that swirls with memories of pain and destruction — a scar acts as a remnant of a battle lost, and whispered mantras that combat despair in the hums of their hymn, about a person who is untrained in the magic of khemia. the land will know them as someone valiant and determined, but perhaps, you’ll hear the old crones hiss that they are self-destructive and impulsive. only the shadows of the ocean floor will bear witness to the truth. ╱ j, 26, she/they, est.

event: Volunteer Week

location: around Merrcok

ic timeline: April 24 - 28

ooc timeline: April 22 - 30

Merrock's a town known for giving back… which is why we're spending an entire week doing just that! We have some suggestions for places that you can spend time volunteering, but you're not completely limited to these if you have some ideas of things around town that you would like to do yourself!

cityview park -- spend some time cleaning around the historic park in downtown Merrock.

hospital center -- dedicate your time to doing whatever it is that the staff might need your help with.

merrock railway -- do some clean up along our very own rail system in town, keeping it sparkly and new. ish.

aquatic conservatory -- help the conservatory staff out with feeding and looking after the many wonderful sea creatures.

the lighthouse -- spend some time volunteering to help clean up the area surrounding the lighthouse.

the marina -- help boat owners with tours and cleaning up around the docks.

the swimming beach -- every beach is always in need of a little bit of cleaning!

aster playground -- that playground equipment might need some work, get repairs done, clean up the flower beds!

community center -- there are always a million things to do at the center to help out.

memorial library -- help our team of librarians with whatever they need.

new haven daycare -- visit the youngest kids and volunteer to help with their needs!

ruff around park -- do a little tidying and cleaning up and play with puppies!

school district -- help out with various tasks that need done around the elementary, middle or high school.

animal sanctuary -- help our workers with the animals that need them the most.

harmony ranch -- spend time embracing your inner cowboy… or cleaning out some stalls!

lake malory -- keeping our lake clean and pristine is a big goal for this year… go ahead and help out!

paradise gardens -- help take care of the many, many plants in our own botanical garden, and learn something along the way.

state park -- there's always something to do around the state park to help out!

And! If you hop under the cut right now, you will find the pair-offs that you're looking for. A thread must be started sometime during the duration of the event with your partner. Check it out.

A thread must be started between April 22nd and April 28th of some character combination planting a tree, anywhere in Merrock! The thread does not need to be completed during that time frame -- you can continue writing it after the event has ended, but we do ask that you guys please not just drop the thread, or only do one or two replies before giving up. Plant your tree! If a player plays multiple characters, you are welcome to choose any pairing, but try to make it unique (in other words, if you've written before, avoid that pairing).

If you are assigned to someone who is inactive, or does not reply to you within a couple of days, please reach out to the admin team. We'll work with you!

Steph (Katherine, Thalia) & Nani (Diana)

Grace (Rosalie) & Myr (Amanda)

Mags (Cassidy) & Nikki (Ember)

Chayya (Marlow) & Anna (Sylvia, Reyna, Jayla, Alec, Wes, Cori, Cathy, Espie)

Frankie (Deacon, Ravi) & Erin (Lara, Mandy, Bryan, Jamie, Vince, Mekelah, Joella, Alice)

Jen (Tommy) & Nessa (Mateo, Zoey, Chloe, Yesenia, Libby, Xander, Jennifer)

Maria (Vitus) & Bri (Cordelia, Eliza, Fallon, Spencer, Emeline, Marquis, Vivienne, Ramsey)

MOD NOTE: as you may notice, admin Katie and admin Lindsey are not on the list. The reason for this is that we know things happen: players need to take a hiatus, someone goes inactive, emergencies crop up, life happens sometimes! We are on stand-by to step in and replace anyone who can not participate. With both of us playing eight characters, there's a very good chance we have not written with you in one way or another, and we are happy to step up and help! But we will also be doing plot/thread calls and/or open starters, so we will be just as involved as you, promise! xx

The go-to archivist depiction

Example of someone who cross describes as a go-to depiction of an archivist; this is Archie in Regular Show

Samantha Cross, an archivist who reviews examples of archives in popular culture, has argued that the "go-to depiction of an archivist" is often middle-aged, White, male, and likely cisgender. She also described Zootopia as feeding into "the stereotype of records and archives being distant," and the almost useless archivist in Voltron: Legendary Defender. One of the best examples of what she describes as the "go-to depiction" of an archivist is Archie in Regular Show, but there are others as well, which align and buck this depiction.

Reprinted from my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog. Originally published on May 13, 2022.

If he can be considered an archivist, there is the Librarian in an episode of She-Ra: Princess of Power. He oversees the Library in the Valley of the Lost, and is said to be a hermit. He is an elderly man with White hair and is White. He also manages what is known as the Inner Library, which has books "in a language not used in a thousand years." It is, arguably, a bit archivy. He is not the only White archivist I've written about on this blog. One of the oft-mentioned on here is Jocasta Nu, an elderly White woman, who runs the Jedi Archives. Another example I sometimes forget is the White female archivist who is manipulated by Anna to change a birth record in My Dictator Boyfriend. [1]

Some fan fics seem to feed into the idea that archivists are White people. These fics show archivists as stereotypical with grey hair, for instance. Others showcase archivists of color, including those which I've written myself, even making Bow's dads archivists, even though they are historians in the original series, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. This is a bit of an oddity, however. As, others example of a White archivist are the records clerks shown briefly in an episode of 180 Angel, Abigail Chase in the National Treasure franchise, and a reference librarian in Can You Ever Forgive Me?. Additionally, it could also be argued that Theoda and Pothina in Cleopatra in Space are archivists, or at least information professionals of some kind as they work in a museum of the show's protagonist.

Apart from Hermes Conrad, a bureaucrat who you could argue is an archivist I suppose, there's the Japanese man, Ura, in Pale Cocoon, a green Gem named Peridot in Steven Universe. The latter two could be either be said to be archivists, each in their own way, or engaging in some archivist tasks. In any case, Peridot's voice actor is Shelby Rabara, a Filipino-American actress and dancer. More directly than any of these examples is the Black male record clerk, Clark, in Joker (played by Brian Tyree Henry), who tries to help Arthur Fleck get his hands on records of his mother. However, he is determined to stick to the rules, leading Fleck to literally steal the records from him to avoid the red tape.

There are two characters other than Hermes, Ura, Peridot, or the unnamed record clerk which can undoubtedly be described as archivists: Arizal in Recorded by Arizal and Grandpa Park in Stretch Armstrong. Neither seems to have professional training (Arizal may be on the path to such training), but both engage in actions which make them archivists in one way or another. There's a solo archivist in Ultraman Taiga, a presidential archivist named Briony in Leif & Thorn, and a 26-year-old archivist named Cortez Velasquez in Heirs of the Veil, the blue-skinned sisters (and archivists) in Lore Olympus, and Rae, an aspiring archivist in Always Human.

There are many other examples and characters who engage in archivist duties like arrangement, description, preservation, appraisal, reference, collaboration, outreach, administrative tasks, and selection, so in that sense, this is only scratching the surface. That is in part because the number of posts on this blog are minimal, not even reaching 100 posts at present, so I don't have many other examples to use for this post. But, if I decide to pursue this in the future, I may come back to this post and build on it again.

Season 2, episode 3: Prayers

A/N: I, of course, do not own anything from or related to Outer Banks. Scenes, events, and dialogue are taken from the show; I am not trying to take credit for the work that the writers for this show did. Some scenes may be left out if I cannot find a way to work the reader in as a character.

Warnings (for the whole series): violence (as it is in the show), swearing, mentions of abuse, underage drinking and smoking, drug use

“Can’t believe we’re actually back here.” I whisper to Kie, keeping my eyes focused on the paper in front of me. “After everything that happened, we should be out there trying to catch Ward.”

Kie shakes her head. “We just need to keep up appearances. We’ll regroup after school.”

The classroom door opens, pulling our attention from the test in front of us. “Mr. Sunn, can I borrow Pope for a minute?” The man in the doorway asks, holding a small envelope in his hand.

“We’re in the middle of a test.” Mr. Sunn whispers.

“I’m from the Vanderhorst Foundation.” The man says.

Kie and I pause, slowly turning to look at Pope as he looks up from his paper.

“Mr. Heyward, it's for you.” Mr. Sunn looks at Pope.

“Thank you.” The man nods to Mr. Sunn before directing his attention to Pope. “Good to see you, Pope.”

🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊

The door slams behind Pope as he rushes back into the room, gripping the envelope in his hand.

“Okay, what was that?” Kie whispers.

Pope silently holds up the envelope, showing it to us.

“Is that the wheat symbol?” I whisper.

“Yeah.” Pope nods.

“What the f—“ JJ starts, pausing when Mr. Sunn looks up. “Fu… fu… fudge?” He stutters.

🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊

“Is this a game of tag?” JJ frowns, hurrying after Pope.

“I don’t know.” I sigh, pulling Kie along.

“Am I gonna have to beat you with your protractor? What’s going on?” JJ huffs, wincing when the librarian shushes him.

“Seriously, Pope, you are driving me insane.” Kie whispers.

“Okay, so that guy was from the scholarship committee.” Pope starts, sitting down in front of one of the computers. “Take a look at this.” He holds out the envelope, letting JJ take it from him. “Read it.”

“Out loud.” I whisper, looking at JJ.

JJ pauses, looking around at us. “I can’t read cursive.”

I sigh, taking it from him. “Dear Mr. Heyward, I am reaching out because I have material evidence that can exonerate John B. Routledge. It is of vital importance that you come and meet with me in person at my offices at 27 King Street, Charleston at 8:00 p.m. sharp tonight. Please come alone. Regards, C. Limbrey.”

“Charleston?” JJ frowns.

“It’s like an eight-hour drive plus the ferry.” Pope murmurs. “How will we get there tonight?”

“We’d have to leave right now.” JJ whispers.

“I have a free period.” Kie whispers.

“‘Material evidence’? What does that even mean, ‘material evidence’?” JJ shakes his head.

“It means he can clear John B.” I hand the letter back to Pope.

“Oh, shit, then we’re going to Charleston.” JJ says loudly.

“I gotta tell my mom.” Kie sighs. “Look, if we get it this time, we are not giving it to Shoupe.”

“Yeah. No duh.” JJ nods.

Pope frowns, looking between the letter and the computer.

“What?” I whisper.

“I don’t know. I think whoever this Limbrey person is…” Pope points to the computer. “They might be related to the captain of the Royal Merchant.”

🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊

“Baby, no, you can’t go to Charleston on a school night.” Kie’s mom sighs, looking at her.

“But this is my chance to finally clear John B’s name!” Kie frowns. “This is my chance to bring Y/N’s brother back!” She glances at me.

“Baby—“ Anna starts.

“What does it mean now to clear John B’s name?” Her dad frowns. “And you.” He points at me. “This is a family discussion, you don’t need to be here.”

“Mike…” Anna frowns.

“He’s gone!” Mike shouts. “You have to accept it.”

“Stop it!” Anna gets up, moving over to Kie. “Listen to me. I understand that what you’re going through right now is incredibly difficult.”

“Do you?” Kie frowns.

“Baby, I do.” Anna sighs. “All we’re trying to say is that we’re worried cause you’re spending all of your time with Y/N and these boys.”

“God, mom. They’re not just some people I found on the street!” Kie huffs.

“I know that, Kiara. I’m not saying—“ Anna frowns.

“They’re my best friends!” Kie sniffles. “Since kindergarten! My only friends!”

“I understand that, but you are not a little girl anymore!” Anna shouts.

“I’m a Pogue, mom. Sorry!” Kie huffs, starting to walk off.

“No. Actually, you’re not, Kiara, cause you live on Figure Eight!” Anna hurries after her. “Don’t walk away when I’m talking to you!”

“Mrs. Carrera, we just want to-“ I start, stepping back when Anna rounds on me.

“Get off my property!” She shouts. “My daughter will have nothing to do with you anymore!”

“I’m still one of them!” Kie shouts. “You’re so worried about me being a Pogue because you got pregnant with a Pogue, and then you had me. It was a tragedy!”

“Kiara, seriously! This isn’t fair!” Anna shouts. “Stop it! Do not walk away when I’m talking to you! Turn and look at me right now! I am so sick of this shit! Every single time that you get in trouble, you try and stir up the pot between us, and I am not having it anymore! I’m gonna tell her.”

“Tell me what?” Kie frowns.

I hurry back to the truck, leaning against the side.

“They’re taking it really well.” JJ watches.

“Mm-hmm. Totally.” I mutter.

“How’d you get this rig?” JJ asks Pope. “I know your old man didn’t let you have it.”

“I undid the intake valves on the carburetor. Made it start pinging.” Pope murmurs.

“And now you’re just gonna take it to your cousin Jeff’s house.” JJ nods. “Just gonna get it fixed. Crash overnight. I think I’m rubbing off on you, Pope. Lying to your old man, stealing his truck. Kinda sounds familiar.”

“I’d say we have about 18 hours before he absolutely loses his shit.” Pope sighs. “So as long as we get it back before then, I think we’re good.”

“Boarding school?” Kie shouts, rushing down the steps.

“It’s just an option.” Anna sighs. “It could broaden your horizons, baby, get you out of OBX.”

“I’m not going to boarding school.” Kie huffs.

“It would give you structure!” Mike calls.

“They’re not my people!” Kie huffs, hurrying to the truck.

JJ hops out, opening the door for Kie and I to get in. “It’s good to see y’all, Mr. And Mrs. Carrera.”

“Hi, uh, ma’am, sir. I… I promise to have her back at a reasonable hour and safe.” Pope leans out the window, waving to Kie’s parents.

“What are you doing?” Kie frowns at him.

“Kiara, listen to me.” Anna sighs. “You wanna go, then you can go. But if you don’t come back at the proper time, then don’t come back at all!”

“She’s bluffin’.” JJ murmurs. “Y’all have a good day.” He waves, getting in the truck.

“This shit would be so much easier without parents.” Kie sighs.

I frown, looking at her. “Trust me, it's not.”

🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊

“My parents are so paranoid of me being a Pogue, like it's the worst thing that could ever happen.” Kie huffs.

“Hey, I hear they got good weed at boarding school, though.” JJ leans against the cab of the truck, holding me close.

“I’m not going to boarding school.” Kie snaps. “They’re gonna have to kidnap me, tie me up, and throw me in a van.”

“Hey, Kie, have you tried to hit John B back on that number yet?” Pope asks.

“Like, twenty million times.” She sighs.

“Some random lady at a hotel keeps answering whenever I try.” I murmur.

“Well, until we hear from them again, we gotta try and clear his name.” Pope sighs. “Right now, this letter’s our best bet.”

“Right.” JJ nods. “Stay on task. That’s why I love ya, Pope.”

🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊

“Guys, I’ve read this thing like a thousand times. It makes no sense.” I sigh. “I mean, the Limbreys own, like, half of Charleston. What do the Kook kings of Charleston know about a murder on Kildare Island?”

“Why you specifically?” JJ asks. “That’s the other creepy thing.”

“I was thinking the same thing.” Pope sighs. “I think it's because—“

Before he can finish his sentence, the engine rattles and smoke starts to pour out from the hood.

“Oh, come on!” He frowns.

“What’s that?” Kie frowns. “Pull over. That’s a lot of smoke, even for your dad’s truck.”

🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊🏄🚌🌊

I sigh, leaning against the bed of the truck as JJ and Pope argue with the mechanic. I glance at Kie, analyzing the odd look on her face. “Hey.” I tap the bed of the truck to get her attention. “You okay?”

“My mom is so worried that I’m gonna be a Pogue that she’s willing to send me to boarding school.” She sighs.

“Well…” I look at her. “I guess that’s what you get for hanging out with the wrong crowd, Kie.”

“I’m not gonna go.” Kie whispers. “It’s too late anyway. I already am who I am.”

“Ain’t all that bad.” I shrug. “Just look at those guys over there.” I point towards Pope and JJ. “They’d do anything for us. That’s a Pogue if I’ve ever seen one.”

“Have you and Pope talked at all since… you know?” I whisper to Kie, sitting in the bed of the truck with JJ fast asleep in my lap.

She shakes her head. “Not about what happened between us. I think he wants something to happen more than I do.”

I nod, carefully slipping the flask out of JJ’s limp hands, tucking it into my bag. “Would you want something to really happen between the two of you?”

Kie shrugs, sighing. “I don’t even know. I love Pope, but I don’t know if it's a sibling kind of love or more.”

I yawn, moving to lay down next to JJ. “Maybe take some time to sleep on it? See if anything changes in the days to come.”

She smiles, nodding and carefully leaning over to press a kiss to Pope’s cheek before laying down to sleep.

“Wonder where John B and Sarah are right now.” JJ stares out the window, watching the water.

“I’m sure they’re trying just as hard to get back to us as we are to get them back.” I whisper, squeezing his hand.
