Jumping the shark the Tolerance Project and the Jaws Franchise.

Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley. It stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, who, with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw), hunts a man-eating great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a summer resort town. Murray Hamilton plays the mayor, and Lorraine Gary portrays Brody's wife. The screenplay is credited to Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography.

Why does the shark in the Jaws film attack Amity island ?

The answer to that question is answered in this article from the fan website The Daily Jaws https://thedailyjaws.com/blog/extremely-rare-for-these-waters-why-did-the-shark-in-jaws-choose-amity-island

Shot mostly on location at Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, Jaws was the first major motion picture to be shot on the ocean and consequently had a troubled production, going over budget and schedule. As the art department's mechanical sharks often malfunctioned, Spielberg decided mostly to suggest the shark's presence, employing an ominous and minimalist theme created by composer John Williams to indicate its impending appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of director Alfred Hitchcock. Universal Pictures' release of the film to over 450 screens was an exceptionally wide release for a major studio picture at the time, and it was accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign that heavily emphasized television spots and tie-in merchandise.

Regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history, Jaws was the prototypical summer blockbuster, and won several awards for its music and editing. It was the highest-grossing film of all time until the release of Star Wars two years later; both films were pivotal in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which pursues high box-office returns from action and adventure films with simple high-concept premises, released during the summer in thousands of theaters and advertised heavily.

Jaws the perfect Horror film

I myself don’t class Jaws 1975 or its sequels as a horror film feel free to disagree with me the Callider film website wrote an article called 25 movies that are perfect from start to finish Jaws 1975 was on the list at number 1 Callider explained why Jaws was number on their list.

Predating Star Wars by two years, Jaws is often considered the original Hollywood blockbuster. It was a movie that established an already accomplished Steven Spielberg as an undisputed master filmmaker, and it remains his most exciting thriller. As far as the plot goes, it almost couldn't be simpler, as Jaws follows three men who set out to kill a monstrous shark that's been terrorizing a seaside town during the summer holiday season.

No dinosaur movie has ever been as good as Spielberg's Jurassic Park, and similarly, no other shark movie has ever come close to touching Jaws. It's a movie that works wonders with a direct premise that in lesser hands would feel generic, underwhelming, or predictable, and every minute here proves engrossing. It's a movie that's perfectly cast, perfectly paced, and perfectly directed by a remarkably young Spielberg (he wasn't even 30 at the time of its release). In essence, Jaws is - without a doubt - simply perfect.

Jaws the Music and creating that theme

John Williams composed the film's score, which earned him an Academy Award and was later ranked the sixth-greatest score by the American Film Institute.[75][76] The main "shark" theme, a simple alternating pattern of two notes—variously identified as "E and F"[77] or "F and F sharp"[78]—became a classic piece of suspense music, synonymous with approaching danger[79] (see leading-tone). in the film the theme is simply discribed as Main title / First Victim to listen to it click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX3bN5YeiQs&list=PL17vqAEJv6CV1syq4_fFKgBwSqGdJzH9z&index=343

Williams described the theme as "grinding away at you, just as a shark would do, instinctual, relentless, unstoppable."[80] The piece was performed by tuba player Tommy Johnson. When asked by Johnson why the melody was written in such a high register and not played by the more appropriate French horn, Williams responded that he wanted it to sound "a little more threatening".[81] When Williams first demonstrated his idea to Spielberg, playing just the two notes on a piano, Spielberg was said to have laughed, thinking that it was a joke. As Williams saw similarities between Jaws and pirate movies, at other points in the score he evoked "pirate music", which he called "primal, but fun and entertaining".[74] Calling for rapid, percussive string playing, the score contains echoes of La mer by Claude Debussy as well of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring.[78][82]

Steven Speilberg explains in this article for Fandomwire why he began to laugh when he first heard the famous Jaw theme  https://fandomwire.com/i-began-to-laugh-steven-spielberg-thought-john-williams-pranked-him-after-first-hearing-the-iconic-jaws-theme-only-to-admit-his-mistake-later/

  What do you think are the best films in the Jaws Franchise ?

The orignal Jaws film from 1975 was included on a list of film published by Screenrant of Franchises that peaked with their first film they said about Jaws.

One of the most important releases in movie history, the original Jaws, was credited with starting the summer blockbuster as audiences know it, and forever changing cinema. The highest-grossing movie of all time when it came out in 1975, Steven Spielberg’s epic tale of a killer shark who terrorized beachgoers was a sensational piece of action filmmaking that was as thrilling as it was terrifying. Three sequels were released, and its legacy can still be felt in recent films like The Meg, but the series peaked with the original. It is a classic horror film that cannot be replicated in any way or form.

Screenrant recently published an article called 10 films that deserved better sequels Jaws was included on thar list this is what Screenrant said about the Jaws sequels

Directed by Steven Spielberg, Jaws has been cited as one of the films that created the summer blockbuster, and set the tone for the success of Spielberg's career. It makes sense that producers wanted to capitalize on the attention that Jaws was receiving, but the many sequels that followed were consistently less effective than the original film. Though not the worst sequel overall, Jaws 2 set the tone for how filmmakers would approach the legacy of the franchise, and this should've been treated more carefully. Like many sequels, Jaws 2 falls prey to the mistake of following the same plot as the original, but not doing it as well.

I like Jaws I and 2 they are about the best the frachise has to offer.

Jaws 2 secretly has the most realestic shark screne according to this article on the ScreenRant website  https://screenrant.com/jaws-2-realistic-shark-scene-diver-scare/

Talking about Jaws 2 the film celebrates its 45th Birthday this year The remind website published this article to celebrate its birthday https://www.remindmagazine.com/article/3744/jaws-2-1978-roy-scheider-john-williams/

Did you know that the first 2 Jaws films are number 2 and 3 in the list of highest grossing horror films of all time behind the 1973 film The Exorcist I know this sounds funny but I wouldn’t class the Jaws Franchise as Horror but thats just me you can read the full list by clicking here https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-highest-grossing-horror-movies-of-all-time/

JAWS III or is that JAWS 3D ? 1983

 Jaws III aka Jaws 3D (depending on which version you are watching the 2D Television Version or 3D version)  which people saw at the cinema  is a bit of a mess.

You can read about Producer/Directors Joe Dantes orignal plans for Jaws III amd his unmade sequel Jaws 3 people 0 by clcking here click here https://theplaylist.net/joe-dante-unmade-jaws-sequel-20230721/ 

If anybody is reading this a question has anybody seen the  orignal 3D version of the film what was it like? I imagine it was a rather strange expeireince the only 3D film I have seen was Captain EO at Disney land in California  in 1989 and again at EuroDisney in the early 90s. 

Jaws 4 The Revenge 1987

The follow up Jaws 4  The Revenge is a little bit of an improvement on III but not by much . I find Jaws 4 the Revenge a rather strange title I never knew great big white sharks had such strong emotions.

 I saw the film when it was shown on the television the best thing in it is Micheal Caine who played Hoagie Newcombe  in the film. and as the story goes  he accepted the part in the film to pay for his mothers house lol

There was even a Jaws computer game to tie in with Jaws 4 the Revenge it wasn’t very good by all accounts you can find a video about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb-ILuDLuUk&list=PL17vqAEJv6CV1syq4_fFKgBwSqGdJzH9z&index=319

Did you know that Jaws 4 the Revenge has the Dubious honor of having one of the lowest scores ever on the film rating site Rottern Tomatoes the Game rant website published the story here  https://gamerant.com/jaws-revenge-0-rotten-tomatoes/

Jaws and the the Tolerance film

We didn’t see the famous great white shark in the Tolerance film but we did hear him

 We used the famous Jaws theme twice in the Tolerance film once when Robert is nearly knocked over by a passing car only to be saved by a passer by

And the 2nd time time as a spoof with a slight nod to Jurassic Park to introduce the man with a hellium voice Mr Grosenberg played by actor Tony Green see the pictures below.

According to this article on the Collider film website you can tell how good a Jaws film is going to be by watching the first kill you can read it by clicking here https://collider.com/jaws-movies-opening-kills/

And some films that use JAWs motifs don’t even feature water according to this article by the CBR.com website click here https://www.cbr.com/tremors-nope-best-jaws-rip-offs/#:~:text=That%20said%2C%20the%20following%20decades%20would%20lend%20themselves,didn%27t%20even%20have%20sharks%20or%20water%20in%20them.

I met Jaws myself when I went to Universal Studios in 1989 as 12 year old he decided he wanted to take a chunk out of a tour bus during a studio tour I was lucky to survive ha ha lol.

There are plenty of great "man vs. creature" movies out there, but few resonate quite like the original Jaws. This was the film that made Steven Spielberg a household name, and arguably kicked off the idea of what a blockbuster movie was. The plot's simplicity was one of its greatest strengths, with three men going on a deadly mission to kill a giant shark that had been terrorizing their coastal town. The straightforward nature of Jaws' premise is reflected beautifully in its instantly striking poster.

Well, the title helps as well, and on the poster in question, those four letters spelling out a single word appear bold against a white background, the color of the letters blood-red. Below the title swims a single figure, and below the swimmer looms a considerably larger shark barreling straight towards her. It encapsulates the film's opening sequence perfectly, and given that sequence establishes the tone for the entire movie perfectly, it's pretty easy to call the poster for Jaws essentially perfect.

This purple doublet is an excellent example of how costumes are altered and adapted for new productions. 

The costume likely originated with the 1955 film The Court Jester, where Basil Rathbone wore it as Sir Ravenhurst, though it is possible that it came from an earlier production, as The Court Jester did recycle some of its costumes.

The piece was used again in the 1961 film Snow White and the Three Stooges, where Guy Rolfe wore it as Count Olga. The costume underwent alterations to give it the look of having slashed sleeves.

If you read the novel Catch-22 (1961), about U.S. Army pilots & sundry stationed on a Greek island during World War II, you will encounter this off-hand description during the period where Yossarian is hiding in the field hospital:

At which you will either pause worryingly, or you’re normal.

I am not normal, because I have watched the television show M*A*S*H (1972-1983), about U.S. Army medical staff in a mobile surgical unit during the Korean War, and which features a character called Hawkeye Pierce, who frequently looks like this:

Now this bathrobe, iconic simply, appears red to the observer. However, deep into the run there is a line in which Hawkeye refers to it as "purple"—great consternation. But film cameras and light waves being what they are (capricious, devilish), it could very well be maroon in life. It could very well be maroon. It’s what I assumed after that comment. But what I'd never asked was, what is it made out of? Is that corduroy, could it be corduroy, could this be—

Oh noooooooo!

Why is Hawkeye the only one who is wearing the robe of patients from the last war, I ask you! Is it for the METAPHOR. To make me YELL. Did the costume department make it for him, or did they just already have one on hand in the WWII storage? Wait it wasn't real was it? Where is it, where is this robe!

Well babe, it’s in the Smithsonian:

A) of all, fucking fantastic, could not be a place I more want Alan Alda’s bathrobe as Hawkeye Pierce to be than the National Museum of American History. B) well well well well well, what do we have here:

[sic]

So looking THAT up brings you nothing that makes any sense, even trying to correct for spelling. But not to fear: historical re-enactors are here.

On the website of the “WW2 US Medical Research Centre,” an absolutely delightful combination of words and spelling brought to you by two European history buffs, and that’s Europeans who are obsessed with history, specifically American medical units in the 1940s, there’s a page for pajamas, and why look who’s here:

OH ho oh HO!

“Progressive Coat & Apron Mfg. Co.” is so similarly bizarre that I would be very willing to bet that something like idk, the imperfect process of digitizing thousands of records for a website catalog, could have absolutely resulted in “Agressive Coat and Manufacturing Company.” Which would mean yeah, yeah yeah: vintage World War II, slash Korea, just five years later. It was authentic, what they gave Alda to wear, along with his dog tags.

Just Hawkeye though still, which is what's odd.

BUT HANG ON.

Heeeeey now!

So I was recently reminded that in the pilot episode, but the pilot episode only, Wayne Rogers as Trapper John McIntyre also has the regulation corduroy MD/USA bathrobe! In fact, he actually has what would appear to become Hawkeye’s—observe the location of the embroidery. Pocket, like Hawkeye’s in every robe appearance after this first episode, the robe that ends up in the Smithsonian Museum. Whereas the one with the embroidery on the chest that's hanging above Hawkeye's cot here, a common variant that shows up when you’re searching around on military history websites, after this appearance I believe is seen just once more on a visiting colonel later in the first season, then quietly vanishes. Alda ends up in Trapper's, and stays in it for keeps, while Rogers gets, of all things, a cheery goldenrod terry number.

But like, why. Why just Hawkeye in the WWII surplus robe. Both Doyle and Watson have avenues here that I like to think about. For the Doylist side, I suspect it was a decision of like, this is simply too matchy. It’s 1972, our TV screens are small, we gotta take any chance we can get to distinguish these tall white men constantly wearing the same of two monochrome outfits.

In fact, I actually wonder if there was a world where Trapper might have stayed in the maroon and Hawkeye could have ended up in Henry’s robe.

The light blue & white striped bathrobe McLean Stevenson wore as Henry Blake was sold at auction in 2018, and the item description contains the curious detail of it having a handwritten tag inside reading “Hawkeye.” Well heeeyy again.

And here’s another curious detail:

There was a blue & white striped Army-issue robe as well

Now Henry’s is clearly NOT vintage WWII, lacking the pocket embroidery, being terry cloth, and also of course: pastel. But it’s INTERESTING, isn’t it? They had to have been GOING for that look, with that same unusual collar shape and that multi-stripe patterning.

(Also, for real 'what the hell even IS this color' fun, this militaria collectors purveyor has one of the maroon versions too, with photos you can page though and laugh as it flips between looking clearly purple and clearly red in every other photograph. Cameras!!!)

Anyway now we turn to the Watsonian explanation, which seems to run like this: the men at the 4077 were just casually passing their robes around to each other. It's about the intimacy in the face of war, etc. I can see bathrobes going missing when they bug out, getting stolen from the laundry by Klinger and scrapped for parts, being handed off to a poor cold Korean kid who needs it more, and then they need to get to the showers and one of them is like hey, just take mine, and then it’s his now. And eventually most of them end up in warmer-looking civilian robes than the Army holdovers that were being distributed early on, but Hawkeye, he just hung on to Trapper's.

And as a side effect, still looks like he's been injured in World War II.

hot chocolate (dad birthday party!matty x reader fluff)

short and sweet for the 19th day of promptober. no actual hot chocolate features but they do order it before the end of the fic lol. literally just two writer dorks and a five year old in their favourite city. enjoy! <3

"amy!" you hiss at your five year old, as she drops your hand and starts to tear down the busy street ahead of you, pale pink trench coat flowing behind her. "amy healy, get back he- oh my god. i sound like meryl streep."

matty snorts at your words, darting forward to grab your daughter's gloved hand before she goes too far. "but meryl streep in what film?"

you stare at him, unimpressed. "what film slash book did we name our daughter after?"

"gone girl."

your turn to snort, although it's probably less to do with matty's answer than it is to do with amy sighing dramatically and saying "no, dad, don't be silly. i'm named after little women!"

"how do you know that?" matty teases. "you weren't there when we picked your name. you were still in mum's tummy!"

"obviously," amy rolls her eyes. "but you told me it's been mum's favourite book since she was little, and you thought it would be special if i was called amy like one of the girls in it."

the memory makes you smile. titling and naming have never come as easily to you and your work as they have to matty and his, and you spent many a sleepless night stressing about what to call your baby girl; at least once a week, matty would wake up in the middle of the night to an empty bed and you sitting at the bedroom window, poring over baby-name book after baby-name book, website after website, lit only by the moon. he would sit with you for a while, narrowing down options, before coaxing you back under the covers and reading to you and the bump to soothe you into sleep - sections of old novels with peaceful settings and serene plotlines, nothing that would take your attention away from cosiness. it worked on both of you, mostly, but when he started little women, the baby started to kick. 

naming her was easy after that.

you sigh at the memory. both amy and matty turn to look at you, and the latter speaks. "you alright, darling?"

"mhmm," you nod, and take amy's other hand. "was just thinking about how you used to kick when dad and i would read little women to you, ames. you did that a lot here, actually, when we went to paris for a weekend."

amy looks between her parents suspiciously, as if she doesn't believe it. "really? i didn't know you came here when i was in mum's tummy."

"it was the last place we visited before we stayed at home and waited for you, sweetheart," matty squeezes her hand, then looks up at you softly. "couldn't have been anywhere else, really."

matty beams at you, and a wave of sheer déja vu soaks you to the bone - his face is more lined now, his hair shorter and more streaked with silver, but seeing that smile and those eyes against that exclusively-parisian backdrop of narrow rues and beautiful buildings and romance permeating the air just as much as oxygen itself… you're transported back to that first time here with him, getting to know him and realising you didn't want to live life without him in it. this city - and country, thinking back to your engagement - are just as much a part of your relationship as home in london is, and it's always special returning here together; even more so this time, getting to introduce it to your daughter.

said daughter is now tugging at your trouser leg to get your attention. "mum... mummy, you're in dreamland looking at dad again."

the exasperation in her voice snaps you out of your little matty trance (the first of many today, you're sure). "hmm? sorry, baby, what were you saying?"

"i'm asking if you and dad went to disneyland when you came here with me before i was born."

matty laughs so loudly that an elderly man nearby turns to look at him in disgust, muttering "imbécile" as he does. you go to fire back a quick "connard", but amy reacts appropriately enough for the whole family by sticking her tongue out at the man and blowing a raspberry; this makes matty laugh even louder, and you can't help but giggle at her satisfied grin either.

once the laughter dies down, matty wipes his eyes and speaks. "no, sweetheart, mummy and i did not go to disneyland while you were in her tummy. it would've been fun, i'm sure, but no."

"yeah," amy nods thoughtfully, a little crease forming between her brows as she thinks. "maybe you should have. cos then maybe i wouldn't have been so scared on haunted mansion yesterday."

you bite your tongue, looking pointedly at matty to make sure he does the same - as much as you want to laugh at her five year old logic, you don't want to run the risk of upsetting amy by making her feel silly. she really was terrified, clinging to you and matty in the little car as you weaved in and out of ghosts, and it got even worse when she got back to the hotel and got into bed; between 3 (when she ran through to your room, eyes weepy and lip quivering, terrified the hitchhiking ghosts had followed you) and 6am (when matty carried her, asleep, back to her own room and tucked her in with her teddy) this morning, you and matty spent your time doing all but saging the suite to make sure it was phantom-free.

"you were brave even saying you wanted to go on it, baby," you say, stroking amy's hair. "and you went to sleep so quickly after your bad dream - that was good."

"so did mum, ames," matty grins cheekily. "she was already sleeping when i went back through after i tucked you in! didn't even stay awake to kiss me goodnight. meanie."

amy giggles, while you roll your eyes and smile suggestively at matty. "i apologised for that when you woke up, didn't i?"

(read: you tugged your husband into the shower with you so you could suck his dick, a) to apologise for falling asleep and b) just because he was exceptionally dilfy the previous day and night.)

"that you did, darling, that you did," matty leans over amy's head to kiss you quickly. "m'still tired, though. need a cappuccino, i think."

"well, good thing we're almost at our destination," you smile, pointing at a building at the end of the street. amy starts to try and speed ahead again, but you keep a firm grasp on her little hand. "none of that, please, amy, you need to stay with mum and dad at busy roads."

"sorry, mummy," your daughter looks up at you, with a set of pleading puppy dog eyes exactly like her father's. "m'just excited to go."

your resolve cracks - you're incapable of resisting those eyes on matty as is, so you don't stand a chance against them on your far more adorable baby girl's face - and you coo. "that's alright, sweetheart. i'm excited, too. what about you, babe?"

matty shrugs. "i'm here for whatever, as long as my girls like it. and i can get a coffee."

"simp," you smirk, leaning up to kiss your husband's cheek and giggling as he pinches your hip indignantly. a pretty awning catches your eye, and you crouch to be level with amy. "look, baby, we're here!"

amy's little face lights up, but she stays calm, waiting patiently with you and matty as you enter the building and find a seat. smiling, you snap a sneaky picture of her as she tries to peruse the menu - sat at the white marble table in her little headband and the dusty rose cardigan she got as a christmas present from aunt patti (cashmere, the diva!), she looks so right, like a cool little princess of some kind. the fun anne hathaway-played type, though, not like the stuffy family you share a hometown with.

you lean over to whisper in matty's ear. "not to be dramatic, but it's never been clearer to me than in this moment that we're raising the most chic kid in the world."

"well, yeah, she's got us as parents," matty giggles in your ear, before being tugged to the other side by his other girl. "what's that, sweetheart? you need help with the menu? i thought you already knew what you were going to have!"

amy grins bashfully. "yeah… hot chocolate!"

"and a croissant? we can share one if you like."

she nods again, looking around the café in wonder. matty smiles lovingly at her, a look he keeps when he turns to you. "would you do the honours, my love?"

"of course," you kiss his hand, before scouting a passing waitress (whose eyes go wide when she realises who you and matty are, bless her) and ordering in french; she laughs when you crack a joke, promising to be right back with your drinks and pastries.

when you turn back to matty, he's still smiling lovingly. "it never fails to impress me when you do that."

"i know. you titled a whole album around it," you smirk, taking his hand. "and it never fails to make me blush, your reaction to it."

"good. i like making you blush. you look extra pretty when you're a little bit flustered," matty kisses your hand. "and i think you look extra pretty today in general. what do you think, ames?"

amy turns from people-watching to nod very seriously. you and matty both laugh, before you speak. "are you having a good day, baby? how would you describe it, in one word?"

she thinks for a second, brows raising just like matty's do when he ponders. "perfect."

matty nods, tugging you both into him. "yeah, it is."

[morbidology]

On April 23, 2006, a quiet Canadian community was shattered by a gruesome discovery. The lifeless bodies of Marc and Debra Richardson, along with their 8-year-old son Tyler Jacob, were found in the basement of their home. The couple's 12-year-old daughter, Jasmine, was missing from the scene, sparking fears that she had been abducted by the killer.

However, the truth behind the Richardson family murders would soon emerge. The day after the bodies were discovered, Jasmine was picked up in Leader, Saskatchewan, over 130 kilometers away, accompanied by her 23-year-old “boyfriend,” Jeremy Allan Steinke. Both were charged with the brutal murders of Marc, Debra, and Tyler Jacob.

The motive behind the murders sent shockwaves through the community. Friends of Jasmine revealed that her parents had vehemently opposed her relationship with Steinke due to the fact he was an adult and she was a child; he had evidently been grooming her.

According to friends of Steinke, he claimed to be a 300-year-old werewolf and an affinity for the taste of blood. Reports emerged of Steinke's fascination with violent media, including the film "Natural Born Killers," which he allegedly watched with friends just hours before the murders. In a chilling echo of the movie's plot, Steinke reportedly expressed a desire to emulate the protagonists' violent spree, sparing no one, not even Jasmine's young brother.

Further investigation into the couple's online activities revealed a disturbing trail of communication on websites frequented by young Canadians, including VampireFreaks.com and Nexopia. Richardson posted under the username "runawaydevil” while Steinke's accounts painted a picture of a troubled individual fascinated by dark and macabre themes.

The couple ultimately stood trial, and during Richardson’s trial, it was revealed that Steinke had broken into the family’s home armed with a knife. Debra had come down the stairs after hearing a noise, and Steinke stabbed her to death. After hearing the noise, Marc came to investigate and he was overpowered during a struggle and stabbed to death.

As for Tyler Jacob, Richardson admitted to stabbing him. She said that after stabbing him once and handing the knife to Steinke, her little bother cried: “I’m too young to die.” Steinke then slashed his throat. Richardson also claimed that she was in a “zombie late” state when Steinke carried out the murders.

Both Richardson and Steinke were convicted of the murders. Because of her young age, Richardson was sentenced to the maximum that was allowed for somebody her age – ten years. She was released in May of 2016. As for Steinke, he was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

Fanzine Friday #14: The 3rd Season Supplement to the Star Trek Concordance (1973)

Happy 57th anniversary to Star Trek: The Original Series!

Star Trek is one of the most influential fandoms on modern fan culture in the United States. It's where television fandom split from literary science fiction and where slash fiction was created and popularized.

At the Browne Popular Culture Library, we have hundreds of Star Trek zines, dating from the years TOS was airing all the way to the present day. The 3rd Season Supplement is one of those. Its precursor, the Star Trek Concordance of People, Places and Things (1969) by Dorothy Jones and Bjo Trimble, is a comprehensive guide to the episodes, cast, characters, and other information about the first two seasons of TOS and the world of Star Trek. The supplement, as the title implies, was made after the third season aired.

Both the Concordance and the supplement have a long, complicated history in the Star Trek fandom that we highly recommend reading about. What grabbed our attention about the supplement, however, was a paragraph from the editorial that discusses the challenges Trimble faced:

First, one needs a bit of cooperation from the show itself; yet I could not get even the loan of a script from anyone in the ST offices, and had to wait until the show was on the air, to tape it, and then try to reconstruct the show from that. Try it sometime; it's more fun than biting fingernails, anyway. Then they didn't show "Turnabout Intruder" until well into the re-runs, and I had to wait until the network dropped that shoe; had there been any cooperation from the people over at Paramount, the wait would not have been necessary, but... By the time the show came on, I was deeply involved with other things.... Each time I thought I could get back to the project, something else came up. For one thing, this involves pasting up the whole job at once, or risk losing bits and pieces of the copy. So far, I have managed to take up the den, the living room and the dining room, with a bit of overlap into the breakfast room (by the way, some people wonder why we think we need a bigger house!).

Quite the difference from how fandom in the 21st century often works, with our quick access to IMDb, Wikipedia, and easy rewatching, isn't it?

The Star Trek Concordance, its supplement, and entries about later shows and films have been professionally published several times since the 1970s. We have several editions available for library patrons to use in their research.

The Browne Popular Culture Library (BPCL), founded in 1969, is the most comprehensive archive of its kind in the United States.  Our focus and mission is to acquire and preserve research materials on American Popular Culture (post 1876) for curricular and research use.

I saw in the tags you mentioned spideypool fic recs 👂 I'm listening

breaking the DC streak to go to Marvel because fun fact I've been into DC for six months and into Marvel comics for eight years so

anyway a majority of my spideypool bookmarks are from 2015 and I have no idea if most of them are any good which is an interesting problem to have but I still have a solid list for y'all

Say Anything...Except That - I was following this from the first chapter and I'm now mutuals with the author which was very fanboy moment for me (if you're seeing this, hi!). it has a lot of old school fanfiction.net quirks to it which might be a bit difficult to swallow if you've only been reading fic for a few years, but honestly I think this fic is really good and holds up to this day. it's been a while since I read it last but iirc Deadpool has to protect Spider-Man or Peter from assassination attempts and there's a lot of pining involved. also mattfoggy ended up having a nice arc because this was 2015 and Daredevil had just aired (this is technically incomplete there's one chapter left but if I had to reread it multiple times when there were only like ten chapters you can handle it)

under attack - more fics by people who are wayyy too cool to have followed me back and yet somehow did? anyway this is part of stackthedeck's team red slash series (ELITE ship fyi) but this one is spideypool focused and has some nice fluff. fighting as flirting idk what else to say it's golden

#NoPlaceLikeHome - do y'all know ask-spiderpool? you should it's one of the best blogs on this damn website and a must-read for spideypool shippers. anyway this is that version of spideypool's first time together which is cute :D short and sweet basically. sciderman has a lot of fics for the spiderman fandom in general and their ask-spiderpool au in particular and they're all worth reading

Dissonance - another longfic that took half a decade to write about deadpool protecting spider-man from harm. I actually don't know why this trope is so good peter really can defend himself but there you go

Perfect Enough - ohm y gOD this fic series is so good. this au hinges on such a tiny difference in peter's history but it makes ALL the difference. anyway in this world basically nobody has a functional secret identity anymore except for spider-man. meanwhile, wade wilson and peter parker start dating. so much plot, two separate longfics each around 140k, good luck this CONSUMED my life

speaking of consumed, rippling - this is part of a series called Into the Multiverse and is based on the Spiderverse film so it's Peter B. which I LOVE (spideybpool FUCKS). the series spun out of the authors' other series and it is, in fact, a pain to read the main entries in the series without reading the other serieses which means that I did spend two weeks doing little to nothing except reading deniigiq's work, but a. it was worth b. this one can be read as a standalone! wade jumps in front of a bullet for peter b and he angsts about it I love it

finally ahem speaking of Peter B, did you know I've been writing spideypool fic since 2015 and I wrote one specifically for spiderverse? I'm a mess (but I'm the mess that you wanted) is really a mix of spiderverse and comic canon like, five years into the future, and deals mostly with like, depression and suicidal ideation on Peter's behalf, but hey there's also a plot AND a happy polyam ending which, what else could you want really

anyway sorry the list isn't longer I didn't bookmark so many of my favorite spideypool fics and now they're lost in the void forever :/

#my team red or defenders folder is massive but so much of it is just daredevil #randomly I have five separate fics saved for jessica jones/matt murdock and I don't even know their ship name #anyway I accidentally clicked post instead of schedule so have fun with this like three hours earlier than intended #spideypool #spideybpool #marvel #marvel comics #spiderverse #fic recs #marvel fic #gail speaks #ask #anonymous

The Farewell before the event in general…v_v

Before the events of IIIEP18 Part 1 on 02/03/24 at 11:55 pm

'Sprinkles just messed with your PC!'

Sprinkles: Ready!

'Sprinkles keeps your PC in the weeds!'

N-Slash-A: Sprinkle! I need to tell you something, I'm going to miss you a lot even though we'll meet tomorrow, I don't think it will be a reunion at the right time because there's turmoil in the middle of it!

Sprinkles: It's okay Slash, it won't be your fault if you kill me if there is a duel between us, as it should be for a good cause, but if that doesn't happen, I still have two opposing paths, still good ending or bad ending, like We are inanimate, we are fragile and we don't last long, it could be that one of us will probably die in confetti at some natural moment tomorrow and we don't want that to happen. happen to us!

N-Slash-A: Ahhh, and you told Skullck that if we were going to explode into confetti, you told him to take care of his DA channel for the rest of his life?

Sprinkles: Yes, I told you before I turned off my PC, he is now sleeping underground and at least he never showed up in the filming of III because if he had shown up tomorrow, we don't know if he will probably survive or die, but let's pray from consciously so that everything goes well between us!

N-Slash-A: I understand what you mean by sprinkles, but why don't you go with me to that dark island with me, me and my current Bot family can take care of you and we can be together forever, like a family, most united of all, and what do you say, you're coming!

Sprinkles: No Slash, thanks for the offer but I won't, because ever since I ran away to a remote part of the island, I've always wanted to ask forgiveness from Yin-Yang being Yin at that moment, to get back with them soon, which has been my dream since Christmas 2022, so I thought about fixing Riggity Rex, which is Yin-Yang's stuffed animal, even though it wasn't complete but it was worth the effort and I confess that I stole something from there, which was this PC that I left under the bushes, to have fun, so at the beginning of 2023, I visited several websites and my favorite was DA, which I was only able to start opening my channel on September 17, 2023, as my first objective was to seek recognition from the entertainment community. objects to give me confidence and believe that I am still alive to return with the yin-yang and stay with them forever, my ultimate goal being, of course, tomorrow before noon, I can leave in the Armago climate, betraying them to capture the mephone4 after mistreating us during this season, but if it happens ok I will stay with the yin-yang like my owners if I didn't die naturally exploding into confetti and if you are also alive, let's go make plans to get married and have children and I will also continue in the DA and This will definitely be the best moment of our lives after the Gang Era!

N-Slash-A: Ahhh, I understand your dream…

'Sprinkles and N-Slash-A start hugging and kissing before saying goodbye!'

N-Slash-A: So that's it, Goodbye Sprinkles…

Sprinkles: Goodbye Slash…

'Sprinkles very upset with his decision, goes to Riggity Rex to prepare!'

Sprinkles: Give or leave!

'Sprinkles leaves Riggity Rex there and goes to sleep in the nest!'

Sprinkles: ZZZzzzz…

My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs!” A blog inspired by the music world of James Bond   Part 4 Bond Songs that didn’t hit the right note with me at least to start with and the Bond song I really hate

Introduction

Hello there and welcome to another episode of my blog that looks at the musical tastes of James Bond over the last 60 years the last episode looked at the Bond films that I don’t like for viarous reasons this chapter continues that trend.

 This also looks at a few of the Bond themes that took some getting used to plus the one Bond theme I really can’t stand.

Are there any James Bond Songs I don’t like ?

On first hearing Madonna’s title track for the Perice Brosnan Bond film Die Another day I hated it I think it was because it tried to do something different with the Bond format it was the first time I heard a Bond song that was aimed at the dance genre but it has since grown on me thanks to repeated listening.

The film itself is also very good if a little unrealestic in places with the the use of CGI  the kite surfing sequence being the worst offender Toby Stevens is excellant as the baddie of the film.

The two Bond girls in the film are very good as well Rosamand Pike as Miranda Frost and Hallie Berry Both were featured in recent articles about James Bond Movieweb made Miranda Frost one of there Deadliest Women of the James Bond Franchise coming in at number at Number 4

“I know all about you, 007. Sex for dinner, death for breakfast. Well, it's not going to work with me.”

Played by British actress Rosamund Pike, Miranda Frost is an Olympic fencer and a Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6) agent who is actually working for the diamond tycoon Gustav Graves. When Bond (Brosnan) is tasked with eliminating a North Korean colonel, Miranda reveals his identity and motives to the latter’s right hand, which leads to his long-term capture.

When Bond later faces both Graves and Miranda, he realizes that his gun was emptied by her when they were in bed together. In the end, the arrogant femme fatale is killed by Bond’s ally, the American operative Jinx Johnson (Halle Berry), in a memorable sword duel.

Jinx Johnson (Halle Berry) meanwhile came in at number 11 in the Colider film website of the 16 Bond women that redefined the Bond Franchise.

Jinx Johnson – ‘Die Another Day’ (2002)

The final installment of Pierce Brosnan’s Bond films didn’t do a hell of a lot right. The story and tone were unbalanced, the action largely missed its mark, and – considering the other spy movies of its time – it undermined the franchise’s history of cinematic relevance. One thing that did work for it was Halle Berry’s Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson.

The NSA agent is tasked with assassinating rogue a North Korean agent and works closely with Bond to accomplish the mission. A tough and resourceful operative who matches Bond’s flare for personal vendettas, she excels as one of the franchise’s most empowering women and even manages to pay homage to Ursula Andress’ original Bond Girl in the process.

Q Branch

Die Another Day marked the James Bond franchise's 40th anniversary. So quite if not all of the gadgets from the prevous James Bonds appear in the Q Branch scene in the film

Its such a shame then the Desmond Lewelyn died shortly after making the world is not enough I would love to have seen him in this. John Cleese who had been introduced as R in that film became the new Q a lot of R comedic excesses of the World is not enough have gone as he takes his job as the new Q more seriously

I love the way John Clease channels Desmond Lewelyn when Perice Brosnon makes Jokes about the invisable car as I learn’t from my predecessor Mr Bond I never Joke about my work perfectly delivered by Clease and a line said by Q in the classic James Bond film Goldfinger more on that film later.

Gadgets introduced in Die another Day include :

Single digit sonic agitator

A "standard issue" ring for the finger which is actually an "ultra high-frequency single digit sonic agitator unit" that can shatter bullet-proof glass (or any " 'unbreakable' glass", as commented by Q in the movie) or disable another person.[9]

Omega Seamaster Wristwatch

Omega Seamaster 300M Chronometer - Contains an explosive detonator and laser beam cutter. The new Q states that this watch is Bond's 20th, which is a reference to the fact that Die Another Day is the 20th James Bond film.

Dream simulator

Gustav Graves uses this device to have dreams as he has insomnia.[90]

By far the best Gadget in Die another Day is the Aston Martin Vanquish which Q Branch has nicnamed the vanish because of its talent to turn invisible this car with all its toys came 2nd in Den of the Geeks top 10 gadgets featured in the James Bond films behind tha rocket pack

This is what Den of the Geek said about that magic car :

2. The Invisible Car

Back to Bond’s his for cars. If a submarine vehicle wasn’t enough, Die Another Day saw the character step into an invisible car; state of the art technology that the real-world still hasn’t managed to master. This was a moment of pure spy fantasy that thrilled moviegoers worldwide in its concept, although perhaps took some out of the experience because of its use of CGI.

Regardless, is there anything more Bond than a car that produces imagery based on adaptive camouflage, allowing the vehicle to blend into its environment and resulting in an action-packed snowy car chase? Well in fact, the only thing that could make this more 007 heavy is the brand of the car in question. The movie used a British Aston Martin V12 Vanquish for the sequence, playing heavily into a tradition that’s been maintained throughout the franchise. Cloaking device technology is still in development in reality, and right now they aren’t being pulled off quite in the same way as Her Majesty’s Secret Service managed to onscreen. Still, this makes for a memorable entry both for better and perhaps worse but has ranked so highly because of how it pushed the boundaries of the series.

Writing on the Wall Spectre Sam Smith

I can also remember not liking Sam Smiths Writing on the Wall the title track for Daniel Craig’s Bond film Spectre on first listen but I love that too now.

the single became the first Bond movie theme to reach number one in the UK Singles Chart.The song won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards[8] and the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 88th Academy Awards, making it the second consecutive Bond theme to win (after "Skyfall" by Adele in 2012).

I may like the song now but I still hate the film ha ha

According to this article on the Slash film website the Rock band Radiohead were the orignal choice to provide the title music for Spectre but were dropped at a late stage in the process to read about it click here https://www.slashfilm.com/1430955/james-bond-radiohead-unused-spectre-theme/

To watch a trailer for Spectre click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujmoYyEyDP8

Anyway back to the orignal question the only James Bond song I don’t like Another  way to Die from Daniel Craigs second Bond film Quauntum of Solice sung by Jack White and Alicia keys I am not really a big fan of the film ethier for me it was released too soon after Daniel Craig’s debut as Bond Casino Royale (which I loved)  the story in the film feels a bit rushed which makes it for me hard to follow the fact that the film was taking place during a writers srike might have something to do with it lol

A rather interesting take on the dreaded relatability, this (for Renaissance fashions) unusually loose suede doublet with more than a little nod to 1980s rock chic was designed by Jenny Beavan for Dougray Scott’s prince as well as Mark Lewis’ “gypsy leader” in Ever After, the 1998 take on Cinderella.

A bit sidelined it turned up again on an uncredited extra as a huntsman in the television adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl in 2003.

This costume was auctioned off by Kerry Taylor Auctions, which described the piece as follows:

Designed by Jenny Beavan, Cosprop labelled with inked actor’s name, the Renaissance style ensemble comprising: beige mock-suede doublet with slash detail to neck and shoulders, the fabric gathered at the cuffs and shoulders, gilt filigree plaques, chest approx 107cm 42in; matching trousers with integral cod-piece, gilt metal-tipped laces, waist 86cm 34in; a silver lamé and gilt thread brocaded belt; purple corduroy cloak with detachable hood; an associated white cotton shirt with drawstring collar and cuffs; and a pair of brown leather thigh- high boots with straps and buckles at the ankles, boots 33cm, 13in long (8)

Worn throughout the film, while riding including when he rescues Danielle from the water and while fighting in the woods and being carried away by Danielle.

Designer Jenny Beavan writes:

Dougray played Prince Henry – the romantic hero – but was always being saved by ‘Cinderella’ – the film has a nice feminist, modern twist to it.

He needed to look heroic but ‘real’ and vulnerable. This costume is an ‘every day princely look’ but quite practical for riding and being out and about in the country. Just looking back at the photos Dougray does look rather good in it!

Jack Kline & Sam Winchester & Dean Winchester & Castiel, Castiel/Dean Winchester

Domestic Fluff, Movie Night, Mistakes, Embarrassed Winchesters, Fan Films

It's movie night! Jack is in charge of picking tonight's movie, and he decides to surprise his family with a movie that's all about them... Except maybe he should have watched the movie first, before showing it to the others, before embarrassing them and himself with its content. That's the last time Jack trusts what reviewers say.

            It was Jack’s turn to pick this week’s movie. He put a lot of thought into his selection and, after stumbling onto an independent film website, Jack was confident that he found one his family would love. They’d be so proud.

            “What is it we’re watching again?”

            Jack turned from his laptop, which had been plugged into the Dean Cave’s television, smiling at Dean as he told him it’s a secret. Dean stuffed popcorn into his mouth in retaliation, wiggling deeper into Cas’s lap as he chomped and chewed.

            Seating was a compromise. There were still only two recliners and with Sam taking the other one and Jack camping on the floor with a spare comforter, Dean and Cas shared theirs. It was an arrangement Jack wasn’t sure would work at first. They grumbled and complained and sniped at each other, but they also continued sitting like that night after night. If they really minded, it would have ended months earlier.

            Jack returned to his task as Cas murmured something about patience, that made Dean respond and then Sam piping in as referee. He shook his head. It was better than laughing, than being dragged back into the conversation for another fifteen minutes instead of starting the movie.

            He pulled the movie up without further interruption, pressing play and crawling into his nest. Jack scooped a handful of popcorn from where it sat in Dean’s lap while the credits rolled. A familiar emblem appeared, of a star wreathed in flames, before it dissolved and was swept away by an unknown breeze. Jack bounced in excitement.

            Sam coughed from behind. “Jack,” he said, his tone light and cautious, “what… ah – what kind of movie did you say this was again?”

            Jack figured it wouldn’t hurt if he explained his choice now. “It’s a movie about us!” He whipped his head around, his grin slashing his face in half. “Well, about you and Dean. It’s what people on the Internet call a ‘fan film’.” He glanced between the three of them. “There’s a whole bunch of them.”

            Sam paled as he looked from Jack to Dean. Dean, meanwhile, was focused on Cas with an almost dazed glint in his stare.

            “Can you believe it?” he said, “A movie about us? Movies…” He sounded proud. Awed, almost.

            “You’re okay with this?” Sam asked.

            “Why wouldn’t I be?”

            “You weren’t exactly thrilled when those girls wrote that play about us.”

            “The theater’s for nerds,” Dean waved Sam off. “Movies… only the real important people get movies made about them. We’re like Star Trek or – or Star Wars!”

            Sam scoffed. “Yeah, and theater’s for nerds…”

            Their banter telegraphed a more intense squabble, and Jack couldn’t have that now when the movie was finally picking up with this Dean and this Sam pulling into a motel parking lot in what was probably the closest Impala they could afford that was similar to Baby. Jack shushed them and pointed at the screen. Everyone quieted and looked on as the car parked and a figure lumbered out of the driver’s seat covered in blood and dirt.

            “You break the number one rule again,” not-Dean growled, “I’m throwing your cherry ass out of Baby without a second thought.”

            He stalked to their motel room while not-Sam trailed after, slamming the passenger-side door, whining. “I’d do it again. There’s only so much Speedwagon a man can take in one drive.”

            Dean chuckled. “He really sounds like you, Sam.”

            “Shut up.”

            Not-Dean shouldered into the motel with a heavy swagger. “Don’t care. You know how it is, driver picks the music…”

            “Shotgun shuts his piehole!” Dean yelled at the same time, snickering when Cas tickled his ribs.

            Jack rolled his eyes. He leaned forward, watching not-Dean and not-Sam amble throughout the room as they unwind from a hunt. This was a movie he hadn’t seen yet. From what he’s read online, though, it’s very popular. He wanted to know why.

            “So,” not-Sam said, peeling his overshirt from his shoulders with a grimace, “how are we doing this tonight?”

            “Do we have to do this now?”

            “Yes. I’m tired, and I want shut eye.” He jerked his thumb at the bed. The only bed. “I’d rather do it on a mattress than on the floor.”

            “Dude, you got the bed last night.” Not-Dean pushed not-Sam away. “And, not that it needs mentioning, but you weren’t being rag dolled by the big bad wolf and his large, sharp claws.”

            “No, I was too busy keeping us from being overrun by the guy’s pack by rolling a boulder in front of their den.”

            “That was easy. You were there at that entrance all night! I was the one who drew the short straw and had to go inside and place the explosives.”

            “I offered. You wouldn’t even let me hold it.”

            “Yeah, well… knowing you, the bomb would’ve gone off in your hands.”

            They really did argue like them. It made the film easier to get lost in, as the actors barely resembled the brothers he knew. Not-Dean was a few inches shorter than the actual Dean, with tanner skin, more chiseled features and heavily tattooed. Not-Sam, however, was skinner than he should be, had a beard and wavier hair that hung past his shoulder; his eyes were blue, too. Jack understood that some creative liberties needed to be taken.

            Not-Sam took offense to his Dean’s claims and escalated their argument by shoving him hard. He sent not-Dean sprawling onto the floor, standing over him with an overly confident smirk creasing his features. It didn’t remain there very long. Not-Dean hooked his foot around not-Sam’s ankle and felled him with one swoop.

            The wrestled with each other. They wrestled with each other, and the camera stayed on them as they did for, what Jack felt was, a strange amount of time.

            Then, curiously, not-Sam straddled not-Dean and attacked his shirt, ripping it off him. Not-Dean, meanwhile, tried pantsing his Sam to no avail because he hadn’t yet dealt with the belt still wrapped around his hips. They were fighting low and dirty.

            “You know,” not-Sam panted, flinging the tattered remains of not-Dean’s shirt to the side as he helped not-Dean with his belt. “Why don’t we share the bed tonight?”

            Not-Dean chuckled. “Thought you’d never ask… bitch.”

            “Jerk.”

            Dean slammed the laptop closed and cut the movie off without warning, startling Jack into dumping what little popcorn he had left onto the floor. His face was bright red, almost like the actor who played him in the movie, albeit Jack concluded he was flushed for different reasons, especially when he couldn’t meet Jack’s eyes. “That was the movie you wanted to show us?” His voice cracked and, despite how he cleared his throat or folded his arms across his chest, he couldn’t recover from it.

            Jack shrugged. “There were a lot of good reviews for it.”

            “Yeah, why am I not surprised…”

            Sam stood now, too, and shuffled to where Dean stood. They kept a noticeable distance between them. He looked at Jack with visible disappointment. Jack squirmed under its pressure. “Jack. Was this supposed to be a joke? A prank?”

            “No?” he said, “Why do you think it is?”

            “…Because that was a porno, Jack.”

            “A –“ Jack’s eyes widened. “You mean like those movie’s Dean has saved in his laptop?”

            “I do not…” Dean trailed off as both Sam and Cas’s glares turned on him. He bristled. “At least I don’t have anything like that,” he pointed at Jack’s laptop, “in my stuff.”

            “Jack,” Cas said. He remained seated, and he placed his hand on Jack’s shoulder. “Did you really not know what that movie was?”

            “No. But I… should have realized, thinking back on it,” he sighed. “It explains why I kept getting viruses every time I visited the website.”

            “What you need is some anti-malware that –“ “Not now, Dean!”

            Jack pouted and rose onto shaky feet. His gaze shifted from Cas to Sam, then to Dean, sheepishly. His confidence had fled. “Sorry,” he said, “I honestly thought that… it was supposed to be a fun surprise.”

            Sam attempted a comforting smile. It was more of a grimace. “You certainly surprised us.”

            “Can we still watch a movie tonight?”

            The three older men conversed silently amongst themselves until, finally, Sam spoke for the group. “Why don’t we pick this up tomorrow,” he said, “give you time to pick something new and for us to… forget what we saw.”

            Jack accepted their offer, already rattling off ideas for what they could watch tomorrow with renewed interest. Sam listened as he helped Jack clean his nest, helping him bring his comforter back to his room.

            Dean and Cas lingered in the Dean Cave. Jack overheard them talking, whispering, Dean glancing at the darkened television screen every few seconds.

            “Do you think there’re films with us that’s like –“

            “If you finish that thought, you’re ‘sharing’ the bed with your brother tonight.”

            Jack smothered his giggling with his comforter while Sam huffed and Dean spluttered, aghast, inspiring another bout of laughter that Jack couldn’t hide quick enough.

            Maybe tonight hadn’t been ruined at all.

The rescue (part 3)

The first to attack was the persian, scratching at circuit with its claws

circuit dodged swiftly, procceding to fire a point black thunderbolt.

The impact managed to paralyze the persian, but it seemed as though it barely recieved any damage from the attack. The difference in fighting expereince showed itself already

a nidoking fist collided with circuit's face, seinding him flying. Circuit barely managed to avoid colliding with some rocks fromt he knockback

It seemed that giovanni had no interest in a fair fight,

Why would he? He wanted victory after all

Small drops of water from the storm started falling by now

Just as, one by one, Giovanni liberated his small army of pokemon

Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Persian, kangaskhan, dugtrio, and rhyhorn

"this is hopeless" is all circuit could think at the task before him

Not only was he at a numbers disadvantage, he was at a type dissatvantage as well

several beam blasts fired from the mouths of some of the pokemon, as others went in for a physical assault

Circuit's only saving grace in the moment was his flying abilities, but even that wouldn't be anough to keep dodging forever if they were to along their ranged attacks well enough

And despite his best efforts, one hit

Circuit fell to the ground, but before he could land, Persian landed a slash on him, and pinned him to the ground. Then, Persian threw him to rhydon, why landed a stampede attack and then... Circuit stopped thinking too hard about it. He was getting beaten around, and for what?!?!?!

So that in 1000, 500, 200, 100 years or even less time his own mother would forget about him?!?! So that he could continue to hold his parents back from reaching their full potential?!! So that he could continue to be an annoyance to everyone in the house? Everyone in the server???

To everyone and everything he met?!?

How did... He even end up like this?

He thought and thought about that question... And remembered

A video played back on his head. It was of lane receiving her very own phone, for her birthday, years ago. She was 16 at the time, honestly, way too old for a first phone. But she didn't care, she loved it, and she loved her mom for it. The first thing she did with the phone was recieve the recording of her reaction on message by her mother. Then download it.

"how do I know this?" Circuit thought, as his body continued to get pummeled by the other pokemon

Another video. It was lane showing off the fact she had a phone to an online friend of hers. That friend was Elisa. And another video. Lane meeting Dominic for the first time. And another video, lane Elisa and Dominic at a mythical Pokemon convention, wearing those stupid sweaters they made

And another ... Of lane saying goodbye to her mother, for the last time

And then, circuit remembered... He was always there. Since years ago. Since even before that phone

On that DS. On those tablets.

He was always with lane for some reason.

But again... Why? Why did he end up with the boy who turned out to be a mew?

Was it a grand fate?

Or... Did he choose this somehow?

Another video plays. A newer one

It's filmed by elisa, it's of lane holding tight to circuit and bagel, as she cries after losing the eggs. A son comforting her mother. And....

Lane playing a game with circuit. Lane buying a vacuum machine and giving it to circuit to use in their room, Lane making (or trying to) make a website for circuit. But there were no videos. Only memories. Because not everything was on the Internet, not everything was uploaded by him or his mother. Not all of the love they shared, all of the moments that were theirs were out there in rotomblr, or gliscord, or anywhere else.

They were only theirs.

.....he knew why he was here

Circuit snapped back to reality, laying on the ground, his body quivering, as the rain poured over the battleflied. Giovanni had an umbrella (of course he did) and simply watched as his pokemon were beating a weak rotom to near death

"...why did you stop?" Asked circuit

"I simply didn't find it too fun to watch my pokemon beat what was just dead weight" giovanni said, in a confident but incredibly annoying tone

Although dead weight was right, given that Circuit struggled to move, his body sore from all the damage. How long had he been on his little journey of memories? how long had they been getting free hits on him for?

"Besides! I wanted you to be awake for the moment where you - and your mother's hope - is dashed off this planet!" Giovanni screamed out

"I will enjoy taking over this pathetic world after I take your mother, and her two 'partners'" he continued, mockingly

Circuit breathed in and out. He couldn't move, he couldn't fly, he couldn't fight

He was stupid and rushed in alone, and now, maybe the entire world could suffer the price

...a final memory

Circuit shakes in fear at being discovered by lane and her partners

He shakes in the corner of the room, and lane approaches slowly

She asks something

"hey... Want us to take care of you little one? I can be your mama if you want?"

Circuit is taken aback. All this time he's known this kid, he never thought she could be so... Responsible.

"yeah... Thank you. Mother"

Lane and circuit hug

And the video ends

As all of Giovanni's Pokemon fire their attacks simultaneously, circuit remembers the words his mother always told him

"I love you, my son"

An eruption of psychic and electric energy explodes out from where circuit once was

His body changes, his energy becoming erratic, taking on a different shape. It forms around him, resembling mew like ears, and a tail of lighting grows from below him

The storm flares up even louder, as lighting falls around the island

"what the hell?!" Giovanni screams, as the energy pushes him back.

Looking over once the eruption dies down, a mew-like rotom floats in the air, a sly, devious, gremlin smile on his face

"I guess it's time I show you" circuit roars with all his might

"What the son of mew is capable of!"

[jeanharlowseyebrows]

kind of drives me crazy when the so-called free thinkers on this website get on here and talk about the x files like it's a story about a perfect woman and the bumbling fbi agent partner she loves and works with despite herself. like i don't know if yall noticed but far more often than not mulder's batshit theories are correct. the fact that he is perceiving while others are not is not his fault. and you as the audience are supposed to understand that he is correctly perceiving but instead yall are like "har har mulder stupid but scully loves him <3" that's not the dynamic stop pretending that's the dynamic. just because yall are incapable of watching heterosexuals without pigeonholing them into the boring little roles that yall come up with. because you can't experience television and slash or films without whittling them down into your palatable little labels. you make me sick
