The O5 Council of Recollection AU! I'm so happy to complete this. Character designing my beloved <3.
From the left to right, top to bottom, we have:
Gears, Light, Mann, Clef, Blackbird, Cowboy,
Abirt, Magnolia/Newbie, Secret Keeper, Maria Jones (RAISA), Senator and Lament.
They all sorta have their own lore and distinctive responsibilities in foundation!

MONACO 2023
Absolutely, categorically, not even slightly a date.
Which is why I listened exclusively to the soundtrack from A Room with a View while making these photos. Because it's absolutely, categorically, not even slightly sweepingly romantic and beautiful and evocative of grand but devastatingly ephemeral holiday loves.
Not even slightly.
@highgrovesims3 can even confirm.
The thing about this blog is that I'm a bit like an ice-berg: a lot more going on than first meets the eye. You could also say extremely cold and largely void of life at its core. That would technically be correct. But mostly the other thing. The activity thing. That.
-I'll stop with my bad jokes. This set was/is yet another of the many I begin with big plans, then sort of lose drive to finish after my ideas become too big for me to realise. It was, in all seriousness, a spontaneous idea conceived to cheer up my very good pal Maria Jones- I'd never planned to do this; we never discussed doing anything like it. I took all these photographs before I even took my entry pictures (I'm responsible like that) This set really could have been done better, but I'm really lazy when it comes to the game now, you know? There's also writing I began to go along with it, but if we waited for that to be finished it'd be another two years before anyone saw this post (if at all) so... that's that.
Anyway: the point of all this rambling is that I'm on a hard-drive cleaning kick at the moment, and as such I'm queuing a few things— more CTJL Monaco; old CTJL side projects; a winter series; random tomfoolery and more— to appear at arbitrary points over the next few months. Take cover, in other words.

When Is a Homestead Claim Not a Homestead Claim? Emperor Jones' Land Claim
Here's my latest blog about Emperor Jones who purchased Pre-emption land in Suwannee County, FL, in 1885
When searching the Bureau of Land Management records for information on African American Homesteaders in Section 12, in Township 25, in Suwannee County, Florida, where my great grandfather Randel Farnell lived, I discovered that one name, Emperor Jones, had not been granted his claim based on the Homestead Act of 1862. He had been granted a claim based on the Pre-Emption Act of 1841.[1] This act…

*So little known you had to buy a shitty/ancient edition just to own it. I’m considering Dogsbody, Fire and Hemlock, and Tale of Time City “well-known” by this rubric because they had recent reprint editions accessible in many US bookstores/Amazon, which is why I left them out!

If I had a nickel for every time I fell in love with a black father figure mentoring his adult lesbian daughter, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened thrice.
