24, April 1894
Hello again, 
The weather is growing warmer in the valley now, and I feel as if it is settling into my bones. I do not know when I began to feel this change within me, but now, the sun warms my bones and I feel as if I must bask in it like the horned lizards on the rocks. I know there is only so much time before it becomes blistering, but, even now, I relish in the ache of a sunburn. There are more snakes out now, I watch them wind across the planes in their writhing dances, I hear their warning rattles. 
The desert breathes a much deeper breath at night. I feel as if, one day, the planes of saguaros will grow legs and walk across these planes away from here. I hope one day they will take me with them on their slow migration westward. I search for their movement in my waking moments. 
The coyotes have returned from their farthest hunting paths, can I hear their haughty laughter in the early mornings. 
I do not fear the animals here, for the people are much worse.
The theater company showed a production of Faustus, and I think of it frequently. 
Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscribed
In one self place, for where we are is hell,
And where hell is must we ever be.
I do believe that the Hell that Marlowe described was the land in which we stand, for nothing is worse than this.
In the mornings before the sun rises, I watch over this town. A few years ago, there was nothing here but desert. I feel that, one day, she will reclaim it. 
Until then, I will sit on my step and think of you. For this cannot be Hell if you are in it. 
Until I speak with you again, 
Steven Harrington.

I love how queer/coded Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are.
You've got Elite 4 Rika - female pronouns, androgynous/non-binary appearance, 10/10 design my gosh
You've got the lovely theory that Brassius and Hassel are involved. Their interactions when Brassius visits the art class show a closeness between the two. Hassel uses a Flapple, a Grass/Dragon, matching Brassius's gym type. It is evolved from an Applin, often given as a romantic gesture in Galar. Hassel inspired Brassius's greatest work, "Surrendering Sunflora", and encouraged Brassius through his darkest moments. Hassel's story includes breaking from his family's tradition and being true to his desires.
I know people like the idea of Tulip and Dendra having some history. I wanted Dendra to get together with Mr Saguaro. I can see both.
Gym Leader Grusha - male pronouns, androgynous/non-binary/maybe feminine leaning (? it's the eyelashes) appearance, as PokemonChallenges said "holy fucking femboy, I did not think a Pokemon game would make me feel this bisexual"
Within Team Star you have another storyline about bullying, exclusion, victim blaming, misunderstandings, and other realities for LGBTQ youth. Atticus and Ortega are pure theater kid campy.
Another PChal gem regarding Team Star "Seriously, how is every character in this plotline an LGBTQ icon?"
And last but not least, I love how many random buff ladies there are walking around Paldea. 10/10

Further Adventures
Last Thursday, while the home inspector was checking out our place, Nancy and I took off to Saguaro East for a visit. Thanks to the recent rains, there are some things blooming out there right now, including the ocotillo. There were lots of other folks enjoying the place as well. After we drove the eight-mile loop, we stopped off at Margie's Kitchen at 22nd and Harrison for a lunch, one of several visits in recent weeks.
The inspection yielded a rather lengthy list of things that needed addressing. Fortunately, the buyers whittled the list down to about a half dozen things were willing to have done, including some GFCI updates to outlets in the kitchen and front patio, having the chimneys swept, a few fixes to the roof that fall under the warranty of the last work done, and some HVAC issues, most of which also fall under the warranty of the new unit installed in July of 2022. We estimate the total cost will be less than $1,000.
There were no burned-out light bulbs on the list, but there was a complaint about the smell from our cats. The buyers did not care about that, but it will be sorted once we take off with the cats in tow. The inspector also mentioned some old smoke alarms, which are still in place because we did not remove them. New ones have been placed around already.
The prospective buyers have headed back up to Alaska. We're not sure when they will return, but the closing will come near the time we take off for Oregon. Before then our calendar is filled with things to do, including a couple of local theater productions of Shakespeare the week before our departure. Both were moved up so we could enjoy them. The Rogue Theatre is doing "Love's Labor's Lost" and the Arizona Repertory Theatre (UA) is doing "Much Ado About Nothing."
There is also a "going away" party being planned by some recovery friends. Nancy had been approached first because those involved thought a surprise party would make a nice event, but she disabused them of that notion at my urging. The list of invitees presented to me recently includes a lot of friends in the program, though there are many others not named. Since we aren't disappearing forever from Tucson, I'm not too concerned with who shows and who doesn't.
Along with everything else, this past Sunday night's peaceful sleep was interrupted by a police presence throughout the neighborhood announcing over loudspeakers from 1 to 3 a.m. that they were looking for dangerous suspects and the rest of us needed to remain in our homes. The police chopper spent a good bit of time buzzing around overhead as well. Later attempts to find out what was actually going on were met with stubborn silence.

Returning from the Carnegie Museum of Art, I’m inspired by the ways calendars are defined.
In theater, the standard season is from August until June; then there’s summer stock and the physical calendar. The twelve months, as defined by the Gregorian calendar, can be divided up in so many ways. And then there’s the lunar calendar that changes with the astronomical movements… How we conceptualize time and the mark the beginning and end of cycles is fascinating. Who and are we prioritizing with this programming schedule?
Tumblr media
There are so many traditional ways to mark a season: daylight, weather, agriculture’s crops and livestock, personal milestones. And I find myself wanting to know how Chinese traditional planting practices found 26 seasons for planting; why the native people of Arizona use the saguaro cactus to define their season; who we are responsible for in the life cycle of time… And I wonder how thinking about seasons as expansive eras or in terms of days can affect theatre and it’s processes.

The Saguaro Dove and Love In The Mirror @ Camino Real Playhouse - Review
Written by Daniella Litvak Local playwright Anders Hosek does not lack ambition. To create a night of theater about the themes of affection, reflection, and connection, he staged two of his original works: The Saguaro Dove and Love In The Mirror.   One is an apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic survivor story. The other is a fairy tale. Both are love stories. (more…) “”

Little Miss Moonbeam
 Chapter 1: Hit the Pavement
(Read below or on ao3)
Summary: It was a coincidence, really. Harley and Ivy had spent the better part of their month in Vegas, laying low and enjoying newfound freedom. After being cleared for the first time in years of their criminal charges, all that they’d needed to complete their plea deals, was to stay away from Gotham for the better part of the past few months. As this temporary banishment drew to a close, Harley proposed celebrating, Vegas-style. Finding just enough pieces to pull together one of the fastest and tackiest weddings that Pam had ever seen, only one thing was missing; a flower girl. As fate would have it, Raven is tagging along on her mother's tour. And above all else, she is looking for an escape. While they hadn’t kept in contact since the incident at the Asylum a few years back, it had hardly mattered to Harley, who had greeted the girl with a warm hug and invitation to their impromptu wedding. To which Raven happily obliged, on the condition they’d let her tag along on their road trip back to Gotham. A condition that a much more sober and clearheaded Ivy was starting to severely question the motive of... ... Meanwhile, Zatanna enlists Diana's help in finding her daughter. With mixed results.
...
“I’m going to fight it.”
“You’re going to lose, babe.”
“I’m gonna destroy it.”
“It’s a whole-ass saguaro cactus, Harls. And it looks like it’s over twenty feet tall.”
“Language,” Raven quietly interrupted as Harley made a motion to roll up her nonexistent sleeves.
In a tank top and booty shorts that hugged her in all the right ways, Ivy had to admit she found the blonde’s antics mildly amusing, at the very least.
Their volkswagen’s coolant had done a piss poor job. They’d barely made it an hour out of Vegas before it began to leave a trail of smoke behind, and caused a minor panic among each of the passengers. Ivy managed to pull over, find a signal with Harley’s phone, and called for help. Now it was simply a matter of waiting for a tow from the nearest town.
She was starting to become a tad more worried about the heat getting to her wife, or to this poor kid they suddenly found themselves in charge of.
Pam quietly apologized to the girl as Harley continued putting on a show for them. Pushing her baseball cap forward like Popeye and winding up a fist as if ready to punch out all of the cacti’s lights , she made quite the fool of herself as she stubbed her toe against a barrel cactus and subsequently howled in pain. Raven let out a giggle that she immediately tried to cover with her hands, and Ivy rolled her eyes.
“That’s what you get for trying to fight nature,” she called out lazily.
She couldn’t help her smile as Harley began hopping on one foot, attempting to take out the needles and muttering at the pain. She began to hop a little too far back from that barrel cactus, however, and brushed right by another species then.
Raven started laughing outright as Harley let out another couple yelps of pain. “Call ‘em off, Red! I surrender!”
“Only if you get your ass back to this car already!”
“Language,” Raven said again, this time with a pointed glare at the former rogue.
Slowly turning to face the girl, Ivy took her time to size her up.
She leaned against the seat on her side, arm sticking to the leather due to the sweltering heat. In a purple tank top and white tennis shorts, with sneakers that looked almost too big for her feet, she seemed almost impossibly small. Pam distinctly recalled the light-up sketchers the girl had worn when they first met, and being oh-so-annoyed by how they only seemed to flash brighter with every other step. The girl had obviously matured at least a little since that time, but certainly not enough to impress this rogue.
She didn’t think kids were so much a nuisance , rather that many of them were generally loathsome compared to most adults. She would never admit to having a soft spot for them, however. It really wouldn’t do to have her reputation put on such a dangerous line.
Especially since this one was really starting to get on her nerves now.
She took off her sunglasses and placed them atop her sunhat, pleased when Raven’s own sapphire eyes lifted to meet hers at the movement.
“You and I both know your father swears enough to make a sailor blush, sunshine-”
“Don’t call me sunshine-” Raven growled, meeting her gaze, glare for glare.
“Moonbeam, then,” Ivy sneered, “And if we’re going to get along these next few days without wanting to kill one another, let’s get one thing clear-” She leaned forward, hands resting on knees in the most patronizing pose she could manage. The girl’s frown deepened in response. “Harley and I were criminals. We’re doing our best , but we’re not going to completely change over night. So just bear with us. Alright, Moonbeam?”
The girl gave a nearly imperceptible pout, and tore her gaze away, muttering something under her breath as Harley limped over to where they sat in the car.
“Those cactuses are tougher than they look.”
“Cacti,” Raven and Pam corrected at the same time. Harley only gave a small, knowing smile, before pulling up her leg and using the open door as a footrest. She made slow work of pulling out the last of the needles stuck in her skin, sucking in a sharp breath with each tug and pull.
“Um, I can help with the pain,” the girl volunteered, “If you want. It’ll help you heal faster too.”
“Aw, I ‘preciate that Ray-Ray, but y'know what they say,” she took a pause, “ Comedy is pain plus time.”
The botanist gave a groan as Harley gave a shit-eating grin.
~*~*~*~*~
The panic hadn’t set in until well after the show.
After all, she’d had an occasional argument with Raven before. She fully expected her daughter to be somewhere backstage waiting for her.
Traditionally, she would have been in the dressing room. It was the fastest way to clear the air, and the most private place to talk other than waiting until they were back at their hotel room. On occasion, Raven would sneak off to other areas. The girl had become well acquainted with more than one theater’s catwalks and costume storage.
But after exhausting every possible sulking spot, Zatanna felt something knot uncomfortably in her stomach, as if her heart had dropped out of its place.
She talked with stagehands and crew members alike, those who had witnessed them fighting earlier in the evening, and those who helped to paint a picture of where the girl had run off to.
One thing had been made almost immediately clear: Raven had left the building.
And there was no telling what kind of trouble she could find herself in.
~*~*~*~*~
“God, I love small towns,” Harley sighed after taking the biggest gulp she could manage out of her chocolate milkshake. She nudged the strawberry one further across the table to it’s intended recipient, who sat sulking in her seat. “C’mon, Ray-Ray! Nothin’ cures the grumps like a milkshake! And we ain’t leavin’ till you finish yours.”
“We’re not leaving at all until the shop clears our ride,” Ivy sighed, taking her seat beside her wife with their orders in hand. “Mechanic said it could take a few hours.”
“Shh, milkshake first, Red. Doctor’s orders!”
“Doctors don’t prescribe milkshakes,” Raven snorted, still looking pointedly out the window and away from the clown and the botanist.
“Yeah? Well these doctors do!” Harley smiled, tapping the glass with a spoon before dipping it into the treat. “Dessert first, kiddo. That’s how ya live your life right.”
“Just indulge her,” Ivy stage-whispered, “You’ll be happier for it.”
“Appreciate the… back-up,” the clown sang between bites of her burger, bits of ketchup and mustard flying onto the table.
Ivy rolled her eyes, handing a napkin over to the clown as she took a careful look around the diner.
It was nearly empty, save for the waitress behind the counter and the trucker at the far end of the bartop with his own meal nearly finished. There were a few television sets, many of them playing various sports channels. The sole set that displayed a news broadcast, however, caught her eye. The volume was too low to make out the anchor’s words, but in the news ticker was something alarming.
‘World Famous Magician’s Daughter: Still Missing. Last Seen Leaving Vegas Hotel.’
Her back straightened, but she tried to appear nonchalant as she signaled to the waitress to turn the volume up on the broadcast. She kept a careful ear out as Harley and Raven began a petty argument over the merits of chili dogs versus hotdogs, grateful that the clown seemed to be getting along well enough with the girl.
~*~*~*~*~
She breathed a little easier, when she heard Diana was available, and in the area. Well-rested after an intergalactic League mission and itching for an easy assignment, she had practically skipped into the theater to meet with the magician.
“Zatan-”
“Diana, I-” she interrupted immediately. The tone her voice took, the empathy Zatanna could feel in the amazon’s voice in so few syllables, was almost too much to bear.
“I just want my-” She choked on the word, swallowing thickly and composing herself before she turned again to face the amazon.
“Vegas PD found some witnesses. She’s hitched a ride and they’re heading east-”
“Then what are we waiting for. Fill me in as we go,” Diana smiled, “Let’s find your daughter.”
~*~*~*~*~
“Remind me again,” Pam sighed as she interrupted Harley’s radio channel surfing with a forceful press of the power button, “Why I shouldn’t simply turn this car around and give you back to your mother?”
“Because I’ll let her follow through on pressing charges for kidnapping if you do,” the eleven-year-old glared at the botanist in the mirror as she leaned forward on the front seat. Her arm couldn’t quite reach for the dials on the radio, but she hadn’t given up hope yet for taking control of the music from the rogues.
“And to think, we were gonna invite Zanna to the wedding, too.” Harley shook her head incredulously as she kicked her feet onto the dash. Pam shot her a few concerned looks before she sighed and slowly brought them back down.
“We all saw that news ticker back at the diner,” the botanist mused, gripping the wheel a bit tighter as she realized she’d unconsciously picked up speed. She slowly eased off the gas, and tried to relax her grip. They didn’t need another reason for any highway patrols to pull them over.
“It won’t be long before Zatanna sends the whole damn League after you,” she reasoned, “And after us, by default-”
She stopped herself as Harley touched her shoulder, catching her wife’s nod in the girl’s direction. Pam glanced to the rearview mirror, to see Raven had slumped into the backseat, glaring daggers out her window as her eyes misted over. Her arms were crossed over her chest, hands balled into fists and crackling with the barest hints of energy.
And that was when the former rogue felt one of her own eyes begin to mist over, and recalled the incident at the Asylum, and the unfortunate conditions under which she had first met the girl.
It was Raven’s emotions, making a wonderful mess of what should have been a happy honeymoon.
She felt Harley’s hand squeeze her shoulder, just before the clown began taking off her seatbelt. “Make room for Auntie Harley back there, Ray-Ray! It’s time for some quality therapy-time!”
“Harley!” Ivy yelled, “For God’s sake! I can pull over!”
“No time, Red! Keep yer eyes on the road!” she yelled back in reassurance as her foot bounced against the volkswagen's ceiling, and nearly hit Ivy square in the face. “Me an’ Ray will have some girl-time back here, ‘kay?”
“I don’t-” the girl took a deep breath, closing her eyes and humming something quietly before she opened them again to give the clown a stern look. “I don’t need to talk about it.”
“Pammy, darling, please make a note in the patient’s chart that she’s uncooperative and a spoil-sport,” Harley declared, a tad louder than necessary.
Biting back a smile, Ivy could only respond with a nod, “Noted.”
“Now listen, kiddo. You may not think you need to talk. That’s fine. I ain’t gonna make you talk,” she reached to place her hand atop Raven’s, pulling back when the girl shuffled further away. “But just know we’re an option, ‘kay? It’s always better to talk to someone about how ya feel. It ain’t gotta be anyone except who you decide.”
She stretched her arms slightly above her head then, as much as the car’s ceiling would allow, and laid them nonchalantly behind her head, leaning back against the door on her side and picking up her feet to lay them across the girl’s lap.
“Now if ya don’t wanna talk about… why exactly ya wanted to tag along. Then we’ll talk about what we’re gonna do when we get to New York! ‘Cause here’s what I’m thinkin’...”
They knew from experience, and from many a trusted road atlas, that a trip from Las Vegas to New York would take thirty-six hours, minimum. Mrs. Pamela Isley-Quinzel was starting to believe this particular trip would take a tad longer than that.

This Bruce Springsteen movie will be released October 25, 2019. It’s based on his album, “Western Stars,” which was released in June. It’s part autobiographical, with lot of old videos merged into the movie, plus his concert in his barn, plus some gorgeous landscape views of Joshua Tree National Park and joshua trees and saguaros in bloom in Arizona. If you know me, so you know I love Joshua Tree National Park and the area, so watching this preview last night at the movie theater in Palm Springs (10 miles from Joshua Tree) gave me the chills.
Description from Warner Bros:
Warner Bros. Pictures will release a cinematic film version of Bruce Springsteen’s latest album, Western Stars, worldwide, on the big screen.  Longtime collaborator Thom Zimny directs together with Springsteen in his directorial debut.  The announcement was made today by Toby Emmerich, Chairman Warner Bros. Pictures Group.  “Western Stars,” which will make its world premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, is slated for release this fall.  However, fans can get an exclusive first look ahead of New Line Cinema’s “Blinded by the Light,” opening in theatres nationwide today.   Springsteen’s first studio album in five years, Western Stars marks a departure for the legendary singer/songwriter while still drawing on his roots.  Touching on themes of love and loss, loneliness and family and the inexorable passage of time, the documentary film evokes the American West—both the mythic and the hardscrabble—weaving archival footage and Springsteen’s personal narration with song to tell the story of Western Stars. “Western Stars” offers fans the world over their only opportunity to see Springsteen perform all 13 songs on the album, backed up by a band and a full orchestra, under the cathedral ceiling of his historic nearly 100-year-old barn.

Made a cinema (completely with maxis), but it’s rather ineffectual as none of them can turn the TV on from any point in the room. Oh well, it looks good and they all had a lovely time introducing themselves to each other.
Yes, the ceiling’s still boring.

The shape of water!! I forgot about that movie until I read your post. Watched it in an old firehouse turned movie theater in kitsap lol. Can’t say I’ve seen a movie like it.
I understand what you mean. Sometimes it feels like you’ve lived in different timelines in a week. I’m glad you enjoyed it! How was the wine? I still need to find one that suits me lol.
How has Anthony been? How was the party? Looked like a lot of fun ☀️ I love seeing the two of you pop up on my feed 🦋
My weekend was ok! Thought about going to see some saguaros during golden hour, but I decided to stay in. First weekend I’ve been able to relax haha, so I’m taking it in.
So I’m going to ask you NOT to judge me….but I was putting things away and playing my Spotify through the tv and….I don’t think I’ve ever listened Landslide from beginning to end until 10 minutes ago. I’ve heard bits of it while being out, but never really “listened”. That’s what made me go on here to tell you and saw that you had posted 🦋. Great song and I’m currently trying to learn it while I wait on the dryer.
I think you know, but I miss you. I hope you’re doing well 🦋

I talk more about the Plagueis resurrecting not-Medusa art
I'm not yet confident enough to leave off with sacrificial text for the cut; I only hope the cut will take without needing a second try at editing
A. Hair speculations
As a long haired person (but one who is aphantasic and not really versed at all in hairstyles or artistic depictions of hair), there are two things I notice about ponytail!Palpatine:
The remainder of his hair, the head part, I swear is modeled after one of the main teenage Jedi padawans we see in the prequels. I haven't looked it up to say whether it's Obi-Wan or Anakin I'm thinking of. BUT Jedi Padawans have their hair shorn pretty short!
and uhhh for most of my life I had bangs I recently discovered that under some conditions, the hair going back from my forehead can semi-spontaneously achieve some volume in a way that reminds me of either like... Edwardian hairdos I think? (the Gibson Girl) or FLDS hairstyles BUT I believe that unless you are teasing it/using hairspray/augmenting with some sort of rat, puffy head hair doesn't correspond with enough tension for ponytails to do the perky pony's tail thing
ergo I don't think his hair here is realistic either because I don't think he's resorting to those methods under these conditions
B. The surgical theater parody art I want instead:
Can't decide whether Easkin(s?) or (not actually a surgical theater technically) Rembrandt should be the inspiration
But I was thinking of one of Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson (the complete one with the arm) paintings in my head when I said that
As an homage to "Like A Surgeon", which in turn was nodding to idk "Men in Black" I think someone said, part of the Anatomical Lesson... scale audience should be Drs Howard and Fine
(Which makes me want Dewey Cheatham and Howe, from something completely different, in this somehow)
..."Yankee Doodle Doctor"
...how would Hawkeye react to "Like A Surgeon" anyway? (like pretty sure Alda is still with us so on the proper timeline show!hawk should live until at least mmmmrm somewhere between ~'90 & '00 I forget exactly which years the show was on)
Plagueis holding an artificial heart... because of THAT scene and also the uh infamous fic I've lost track of that was inspired by it and frankly a bit much for me.
Fourdee is attending.
"Tell-Tale. Heart."
but what if Klinger is there, entirely dressed as A Nurse and eating popcorn
this is too much but: the "patient" subject is on what is technically a rack. But like... it's not extended and they are supported so it's not As Bad as it sounds
C. I'll grant this is a silly objection but I kinda hate that the Nightsister head is shown as Attractive Woman #476
I might be mixing things up but was the gorgon Medusa perhaps given her snakes as a measure of mercy against those who would not stop harassing her?
like i know Ellen was the one who brought up Medusa, it's not in the art technically but just.... eurgh. Don't like the "Our Villains (and possible power fantasies) get to Live in a World where Every Dame is a Gal, y'know"
Darth Plagueis is NOT Nero Wolfe (not that he has any good excuses either) and should be shown having serious interactions with people who are not male!! please remove your misogyny! but then again... It's present in the then future in Vader's navy so ah. Can't escape it huh?
whoops this makes me want Plagueis interacting with Merope Gaunt as like... Statement about Attractiveness and Poverty and Corporeal Exploitation
