Belief is really hard to listen to in some ways but also…kind of funny when you think about it too long? Because the equivalent that we have now would basically be…Taylor Swift coming up to you and saying she’ll pay to read your unfinished fanfiction. and she’s placed so much of her hopes on your fanfiction.

No… no… hang on, because I’ve cried multiple times listening to this song because of the themes and the vocals, but like… just had a Lightbulb moment 💡… was listening rn and I just gotta talk about this bit in Urania Propitia from Pulp Musicals Episode 2: The Brick Satellite
MARGARET: To the women of the galaxy/Who never got the fame
ROSE: You’ve given me the courage not to write/Under my brothers name
ANNA: You’ve given me the blueprint/And you’ve given me the tools
ANNA, MARGARET, ROSE: History is rarely made/By those who write the rules
Because this line ALWAYS ALWAYS makes me think about the ‘Well-behaved women seldom make history’ quote and that phrase and how it’s so often used to be about women needing to MAKE NOISE rather than in a somber remembrance of all those who DID what they were told, who FOLLOWED the rules because… that was what was expected of them, or even women who didn’t follow the rules and protested and fought back, but weren’t the ones leading the charge, and they were left behind by history because of it. And while there’s much more nuance there that I don’t have the brain power for rn, I tend to sort of… despair sometimes for these women because it doesn’t even TAKE long for this happen even NOW, just a few generations before their names are GONE.
And I LOVE this bit in Pulp for this very reason, which I only literally JUST pieced together in my mind. (Like ofc i knew this line and loved it too, but I didn’t connect it my thoughts about that quote before just now)
The women of Pulp point this out. They toast to them, these women that ‘never got the fame’, never got to be able to do what they wanted, what they could’ve excelled at had they been given the opportunity. And more than that, they THANK them.
Margaret, Rose and Anna are saying: I’ll never know you, but I see you anyway, and I thank you because you’re why I’m able to be here. You are the reason I know things need to change and it’s scary but you’ve inspired me to try my damn best to do that in the ways I can.
And I just… 🥹

If you weren't already aware, I'm obsessed with Pulp Musicals (🥰📻🌌) so I wanted to make some art to celebrate the release of episode 3 on spotify! So here's part one, for The Great Moon Hoax. Details are under the cut, and if you'll bear with me parts 2 & 3 will also be posted shortly.

so I've had a Buzzfeed Unsolved AU for Pulp Musicals buzzing (ha) in my head for the last couple of hours thanks to @its-short-for-jackalope, and now I want to share some of it with the world. It's hardly completed or anything, but Pulp is basically built for Buzzfeed Unsolved to do an episode on.

Samuel Stratford demonstrating his dodging skills for Inktober day 4 prompt: Dodge
I did a careful calculation. During "The Beginning of the End" there's about 50 seconds that Margaret and Sia need to regroup and do their combined attack. Aka: 50 seconds Samuel has to spend dodging Kal's limbs of fog. Good thing Samuel rolled 20 on his evasion check!

Digging into a couple of works by Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle (1623-73): The Blazing World*, a key text of proto-science fiction that I first read in a parageography** course over twenty years ago, as well as the Selected Poems (NYRB Poets). As a flamboyant breaker of boundaries (gendered and otherwise) and a speculative philosopher with a keen interest in atomism, Cavendish was well ahead of her time.
*Fans of Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novel series will recognize the Blazing World as the home base of Moore's avatar Prospero.
**The geography of imaginary places. Easily the most fun course I took in college.

No sooner was the Lady brought before the Emperor, but he conceived her to be some Goddess, and offered to worship her; which she refused, telling him, (for by that time she had pretty well learned their Language) that although she came out of another world, yet was she but a mortal. At which the Emperor rejoycing, made her his Wife, and gave her an absolute power to rule and govern all that World as she pleased.

A continuation in the unending saga of fake comics. As always, this Anglo-centric work (written in English) left much out. The fake-comic did not fully engage in a Dutch narrative. Perhaps one day that narrative will be better detailed. 1672 was a critical year for the Dutch, especially their war with France. The African narrative is always something that could use more illumination as this period was what Ira Berlin called the coming of the ‘Plantation Generation’ on the mainland colonies. Previously the majority of the colonies labor depended on white indentured labor with the black population being a small minority. From my understanding, the Barbados plantation system began in legal form around 1660 and the racial-legal system spread to other English speaking colonies.
