So... I had a couple of comments on my Robron foster parenting fic from last week, asking for more of this universe. I don’t know if I’ll ever properly write it as a full story, but what I do have are some little character profiles for each of the kids mentioned, as well as their ages when the Home Farm move takes place :)
Seb (11)
So Aaron and Robert had many (so many) discussions about – and with – Seb before they started fostering. They were initially very worried about the risk of Seb feeling neglected or sidelined by them bringing more children – some of whom may require extra care and attention – into the home. Robert was especially concerned about this, considering his own bad experiences when his parents took in Andy.
But Seb, being the good (fantastic) kid that he is, takes it all in his stride. For the most part, he loves having a big family, even if its not the most conventional. He was already pretty mature for his age, so he understands why sometimes the other kids might need some extra support with things. Before he came to live in Emmerdale permanently, his home life with Ross and Rebecca wasn’t exactly stable (thank god his dads got him out of there – he has a feeling that’s what gave them the fostering idea in the first place), so he knows a little of what it’s like to come from a difficult environment.
As much as he’s cool with his living situation, he does occasionally ask for a bit of one-on-one time with his dads, which they will go above and beyond to give him no matter what’s going on with the family.
Rather enjoys being the eldest – and therefore the leader – of the bunch. Aaron says he gets that from Robert.
Very witty for his age, and never without a good comeback. Robert says he gets that from Aaron.
Really likes cooking with Robert, and has been ever since he was just a wee boy.
Once showed his parents a 10-slide powerpoint presentation on why he and Eddie should get a super-cool race car bunkbed from Ikea.
Eddie (10)
Eddie is, well… loud. A chaotic boy. But a very sweet one.
He has ADHD, so he struggles a little at school and gets into trouble every now and then (mainly for talking), but for the most part his teachers can’t help taking a liking to him. 
Eddie loves attention, but he’s harmless in the way he seeks it. Telling jokes, presenting pictures he’s drawn (he loves comic books and often likes to create his own), showing off a new trick on his bike or skateboard. It’s rare for his foster family to go longer than a day without someone hearing him shout, “Hey, watch this!” Aaron and Robert often have to gently remind him to use his inside voice, and not to railroad the others when they’re trying to say something or pick an activity.
More than anything, Eddie just wants to be noticed. He never got much of that with his mum, who fails to turn up for their supervised visits more often than not. It’s agonising for Aaron and Robert to watch him be let down by her over and over again, trying so hard to cover up his hurt by shrugging and saying it doesn’t matter, then acting like there’s nothing wrong by throwing himself into playing video games with Seb as soon as they get home. But one of them will normally find him curled up crying a few hours later, and it takes lots of cuddles, ice cream and a super hero movie to make him feel better.
Eddie’s only six months younger than Seb, which Robert was initially worried about (again, his memories of Andy coming into play there), but the two of them are thick as thieves. They’re kind of chalk and cheese personality-wise, but they actually balance each other out pretty well.
Will do literally any dare he’s given. This has led to more than one trip to A&E and more than one grey hair for Robert.
Theme parks are his favourite places in the world.
Would live on pizza if he could.
Clumsy as hell. Never put anything breakable in Eddie’s reach.
Lottie (7)
Lottie is by far the shyest, quietest of the kids. She didn’t bring any toys or games with her, but she did bring a small backpack of books that she clung onto like a lifeline. This gave Robert (as we all know, an avid reader) something to bond over with her, and he soon discovered that a way to get Lottie talking was to ask her which books she likes.
The answer, as it happens, is anything fantasy-based. The Narnia series, The Hobbit, Peter Pan, most fairy tales… anything with some magic and maybe a princess and she’s sold. They have a feeling her books have been a bit of an escape from reality for her in the past, so they make sure her bedroom has a nice little bookcase so she can keep them close.
Her favourite thing after reading is playing in the garden or around the village. Sometimes with the others but again, she’s quite happy in her own little world. Before coming to live in Emmerdale, she’d been brought up in a cramped flat in a city centre, surrounded by traffic and concrete. So living in somewhere like the Yorkshire Dales (and all the space that comes with it) is a total novelty to her. She takes to it like a duck in water though, loves the green fields and the streams and the animals. She’ll spend hours running around in the dirt (usually spreading it all over the house when she gets home, too) and becomes a proper country girl. Robert gets her the complete Beatrix Potter collection, combining her two loves.
Because she’s so content with her nose in a book, Aaron and Robert do have to prompt her to join in with the others sometimes. But once she’s been given a nudge, she’ll usually put down whatever she’s reading and interact with her foster family. She does like having fun with the others, she just likes to have her space, too.
Aaron and Robert have lost her in Waterstones more than once.
The biggest cuddler, and the most likely to crawl into Aaron and Robert’s bed on a weekend morning.
A huge fan of beans on toast, and therefore prefers Aaron’s cooking to Robert’s.
Cannot do maths. Will never be able to get the hang of maths. Thinks maths is the stupidest thing ever invented.
Has just one or two friends at school and likes it that way.
Takes it upon herself to be the one to read Tasha’s bedtime story most nights.
Mike (6)
Mike was initially the most… difficult in terms of behaviour. He was too small to do much damage, but his first few weeks with them involved a fair bit of biting and scratching, and he got very easily wound up. Lots of tears and mood swings.
Aaron was so good with him. Robert was too, but from the beginning Aaron had a real knack for calming Mike down when he was distressed. It took several months to really get him settled (he tried to run away more than once – not that he got very far in their tiny village), but with a lot of patience and the right support, they figured it out in the end.
Now Mike is much calmer, and much happier. He still has his moments, but he never lashes out like violently like he used to. He gets some additional help from the school, and Aaron and Robert both have a lot of meetings with his teachers to check in on everything.
As mentioned in the original fic, he’s really not great with the dark. But they’ve managed to work their way from him needing the big light on at night, to his bedside lamp, down to a single nightlight, so he’s getting there.
Absolutely idolises Eddie, and tries to copy everything he does. Aaron and Robert are both praying this hero worship will transition from Eddie to Seb, just so they can have a slightly easier life.
Also adores their ginger tabby cat, Pumpkin (named by Seb when they got her one October). All the kids love her, but she and Mike have a Special Connection, and when he gets home from school, he will not rest until he’s tracked Pumpkin down, snuggled up with with her and told her all about his day. He finds her purrs very calming.
Loves a good LEGO model. Him and Robert will spend hours on them.
Karate-obsessed. He’s been into it every since his first lesson, but has to be told more than once that he is not to try out any moves on his foster siblings.
Will inevitably lose most things. Toys, gloves, crayons, homework, shoes (one time while he was wearing them – Aaron and Robert still can’t work that one out)… he simply cannot keep track of where anything is.
Hates reading and never picks up a book unless he has to for English homework. Lottie is scandalised by this. Scandalised. 
Natasha (Tasha) (4)
The baby of the group, and the youngest Aaron and Robert have ever fostered, which they were initially a little hesitant about. When they first brought her home just after she’d turned 3, she had very limited speech for a child her age. Even her crying was near-silent.
But with time, effort, and some speech therapy, she comes along leaps and bounds. Once she starts picking words up from her foster parents (as well as the nonstop chatter from the other kids), she doesn’t stop, it’s amazing how fast she gets the hang of it. Now it’s a miracle if they can get her to stop talking.
A very big fan of Postman Pat.
Will do almost anything for a chocolate biscuit.
Steals Aaron’s hoodies and uses them as blankets.
Has the biggest eyes anyone has ever seen, and her foster parents are dreading the day she works out that this helps her get away with stuff.
Can usually be seen wearing fairy wings.
Likes to sit on the floor and watch the washing machine when it’s on.

Thought Bubble Festival Has Announced Guests for its November Digital Event
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Yorkshire’s Comic Art Festival, Thought Bubble will be running its Comic Con digitally this year, and now it has announced the guests. The event, which usually takes place in the Harrogate Convention Centre has been moved online, as have most live events, because of the global pandemic. But fortunately the fest has managed to round up an impressive guest list as well as some cool events for the weekend of the 14th – 15th November 2020.
Headlining is indie auteur Kevin Smith, the man who directed Clerks, Mallrats and most recently Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. He is also a very good talker… Other guests include director Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) and comic writer Alex de Campi who will be discussing their new sci-fi graphic novel MADI: Once Upon A Time In The Future, as well as Marvel and DC legendary writer Matt Fraction.
Panel events include ‘Chip on Chip’ where comiXology’s Head of Content Chip Mosher will be joined by writer and artist, Chip Zdarsky to talk about comiXology Originals series, Afterlife, Sex Criminals from Image Comics and, Daredevil and Spider-Man: Life Story from Marvel. 
Attendees will also be treated to the premier of the first episode of audiobook Marvel’s Black Panther: Sins of the Kin, narrated by William Jackson Harper, aka Chidi from The Good Place.
There’ll be a listening party celebrating the work of film composer Michael Giacchino (The Incredibles, Rogue One, Star Trek) as part of a special edition of #TimsTwitterListeningParty presented by presented by Mondo, Death Waltz and Tim Burgess where fans can listen along to Giacchino’s first album ‘Travelogue: Volume 1’ – the event will be hosted by Giacchino and artist Henry Abrams and features special guests
 There’ll also be exhibitor halls where artists can showcase their work with online shops so attendees can view and purchase some of the great art that the Thought Bubble festival celebrates.
Even better? It’s free to attend. 
Thought Bubble is a not for profit organisation, so if you want to donate, there’ll be an open fundraising link which will go towards running costs, but there’s no obligation.
The live event will hopefully return in November 2021.
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Julian Barnes Homage to Switzerland, by Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
I chose Ernest Hemingway because he is deeply out of fashion, still over-admired by the literary boys-with-toys brigade, still shunned by women readers put off by the macho myth. His style is wrongly thought to be both simple and imitable; it is neither. His novels are better known than his stories, but it is in the latter that his genius shows fullest, and where his style works best. I deliberately didn't choose one of the famous stories, or anything to do with bullfighters, guns or Africa. "Homage to Switzerland" is a quiet, sly, funny story (Hemingway's wit is also undervalued) which also – rarely – is formally inventive. It has a three-part, overlapping structure, in which three Americans wait at different Swiss station cafés for the same train to take them back to Paris. Each man plays games of the sort a moneyed and therefore powerful expatriate is tempted to play with the nominally subservient locals – waitresses, porters, and a pedantic retired academic. But as the story develops, it's clear that social power and moral power are not on the same side. I hope "Homage to Switzerland" will make you forget the swaggering "Papa" Hemingway of myth, and hear instead the truthful artist.
Anne Enright Fat, by Raymond Carver (1938-88)
"Fat" is a great example of how little a short story has to do in order to work – the entry wound is so small, you could say, and the result so deadly. Like many of Raymond Carver's stories, this one seems very simple. An unnamed waitress tells her friend, Rita, about serving a very fat customer. She likes the guy, despite his girth. She likes serving him. Their relationship, though ordinary, and brief, and formal, is quite tender – and, like a love story, it happens in the face of opposition from the rest of the world. The small love the waitress feels – this moment of empathy she has for the fat man – becomes briefly amazing later that evening, when she is in bed with her boyfriend, Rudy, and the waitress is left with an uneasy, hopeful intimation of change.
I ask often ask students to read "Fat" because it also seems to talk about what a story is. A story is something told – as the waitress tells her friend Rita about the fat man – it is something that really needs to be said. But though we feel its force and resonance, it is often hard to say what a story means. The most we can say, perhaps, is that a short story is about a moment in life; and that, after this moment, we realise something has changed.
Philip Pullman The Beauties, by Anton Chekhov (1860–1904)
A schoolboy is accompanying his grandfather as they drive in their carriage along a dusty road across the steppe on a sultry August day. They stop for refreshment at the house of an Armenian friend of the grandfather. The boy, the grandfather and their Ukrainian driver are all struck by the beauty of the Armenian's daughter.
Some years later, now a student, the boy is on a train that stops for some minutes at a country station. He gets out to stretch his legs, and sees a girl on the platform talking to someone in one of the carriages. She is very beautiful.
And that's all. Is that a story? It's about as spare and empty of plot as a story could be; two impressions that barely even amount to anecdote. Like Waiting for Godot, it's a story in which nothing happens, twice.
But it shows how little a short story needs a plot. I like plots, and I work at them a lot; perhaps that's one reason why I've never written a successful short story. The greatness of this one depends on more impalpable things. Chekhov's genius lies in the way he manages to convey with such apparent effortlessness a profound sense of the mystery of beauty, and of the sadness of those who observe and think. The narrator of this apparently inconsequential tale fixes on exactly the right details, from a myriad of possible ones, to strike at the heart. It's a masterpiece of minimalism.
Helen Simpson The Kitchen Child, by Angela Carter (1940-92)
I chose Angela Carter's "The Kitchen Child" because it shows her stories can be sunnier, funnier and altogether more high-spirited than her more minatory, gothic tales might suggest. This one is as light and rich as the lobster soufflé around which it is constructed. The narrator's mother, a perfectionist Yorkshire cook in the kitchens of a great country house, is impregnated by an unknown admirer as she bends to place a soufflé in the oven (she doesn't turn for fear of spoiling the dish). Her baby boy's first cradle is a copper salmon kettle, his first bath a soup tureen; as he grows older, wise child that he is, he decides he must discover the identity of his father . . .
Stylishly farcical, this story has the speed, tone and buoyancy of an opera by Rossini. The speech patterns of the various characters are sharply ventriloquised in such a way that their words leapfrog conventional dialogue into recitative. "The short story is not minimalist, it is rococo," Carter said, and this is certainly true of "The Kitchen Child", with its wit, sensuous detail and dazzling bravura set-pieces.
Ali Smith Conversation with My Father, by Grace Paley (1922–2007)
Grace Paley's short stories are a kind of life-force in themselves. Often in her writing, the very form of the story will up and challenge you with its wit, its energy and its talkback; for Paley, voice is always about life. In "Conversation with My Father, she distils into a single story the huge and subtle power in dialogue, the joyful belligerence in argument and engagement that's found right through her work.
An old man and his daughter are having what is obviously a run-of-the-mill, long-running disagreement. This time it's about the kinds of story the daughter writes. The old man likes a story to take the shape he knows, the classic shape. This is not the way his daughter writes, and it annoys him. His annoyance, in turn, makes her mischievous. He challenges her to tell him a story right now, one shaped like stories should be shaped, with the right kinds of characters, the right kinds of plot. The daughter tries. What happens – funny, sad, infuriating – is that the force of story won't be corralled any more than life itself will.
Story here is a matter of life and death; the father is old, ill and dying; they both know it, and so does the reader. But this breathtaking, breathgiving short story, which never compromises on this truth or the admittance of inevitable tragedy, is profoundly, comically generous in its open-endedness, and leaves you both shaken and renewed by the heart, the fight and the life in it.

Quality vs. Quantity - Which Do you Prefer?
There has a been a lot of buzz going in the entertainment industry especially if you are a science fiction fan and mainly about a show called Battlestar Galactica.
How did Battlestar Galactica came about and what is it about? Well, Battlestar Galactica is an American science fiction media franchise created by Glen A. Larson. The franchise began with the original television series in 1978 whose first episode “Saga of a Star World” , which premiered in September 17, 1978 and was followed by a short-run sequel series (Galactica 1980), a line of book adaptations, original novels, comic books, a board game, and video games. A re-imagined version of Battlestar Galactica aired as a two-part, three-hour miniseries developed by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick in 2003. That miniseries led to a weekly television series, which aired until 2009. A prequel series, Caprica, aired in 2010.
Well, we have been following two groups of people who have built something wonderful in honor of the show. Now, what motivated them to take such an undertaking, the reasoning behind it will only be known to them. One group is located in the United Kingdom called Yorkshire Props. They have 15 years of experience in creating bespoke props in a wide range of materials for events, collectors, film, and TV. In other words, it’s their bread and butter.
Yorkshire Props recently debuted a full scale Viper ( constructed in just three months according to the builder) and granted a limited sneak preview ( by invitation only ), before their December 2-3, 2017 located in Longbridge Road Tratford Park in Manchester, United Kingdom. People that were able to be a part of the sneak preview thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the site of a full scale Classic Series Viper. It is to our understanding that it is the first one built and seen in the United Kingdom. The built was phenomenal because not too many people or group can say, they did it because it is a lot of hard work put into the building of one. And of course , everyone was very happy to be the first one to have such a built. But upon further review of the Classic Battlestar Galactica Viper by Yorkshire Props, all we can say is that , they should have taken their time to build it properly. It has many flaws and inaccuracies that people just don’t want to acknowledge. We completely concur that no built is perfect and as they say “ Rome wasn’t build overnight!” But still! And here are some of the inaccuracies we found just to name a few. The first four photos are of the U.K. build and the rest are of the U.S. Built!
1. The Viper is incomplete for the sneak preview. It was stated to us by someone that is a part of the discussion that more work will be done before the December show. But if that is the case, why are they are already working on another project? Are we led to believe that this is truly the work of a one man band? The one man band must never be sleeping to accomplish so many things at one time. But, the benefit of the doubt must be given accordingly until proven otherwise.
2. The cockpit does not look like a Viper cockpit at all. We included here a copy of the original Classic Series Viper cockpit that was used in the show. The cockpit does not look like people ( fans of the show ) can sit in it.
3. The nose of the Viper is too long and thin. The measurement is way off.
4. The two pieces of the fuselage meet, needs to be more plumb. And it also need the red stripe down the fuselage too.
5. The original Classic Series Viper didn’t have lights on the wings. This built had strobe lights on the wings. A nice effort and touch but not needed and does not belong there.
6. No landing gear. The Viper ended up looking like those mini die-cast figure from Hasbro.
These are just some of the inaccuracies we saw on the built. But nevertheless, it is truly a great creation. But the overall quality of the viper built by Yorkshire Props, is not there. And based on what we saw on their page and on their own posting, it looks like the budget and the amount of time given and put into the building of the Viper, played a big part in the poor quality of the built. And this is just our humble opinion.
Now, the other group that we are watching is from the United States. They are called Team BSG Viper and they are located in Houston, Texas. They are part of a much larger and well recognize fan group dedicated to Battlestar Galactica, called Battlestar Raven. Now, Battlestar Raven is the leading group for an organization dedicated too to Battlestar Galactica called Battlestar Galactica Fan Club. And based on their website, they have just recently celebrated their 17th Anniversary as an organization. That is quite impressive to have been around for that long and still thriving.
In doing our research and following this group’s built from the start, which coincidently was a self-funded project by this group , the Classic Series Viper built they are doing started out as what they call “ the Viper Simulator”. It’s basically a working cockpit only. And when we say a working cockpit, we mean a working cockpit. It has blinking lights, buttons to push, a working screen that makes people of all ages, be a kid again and your inner geekiness to come out, when you are inside the cockpit. The Viper Simulator was seen by the public for the first time this past May 12-14, 2017 at a convention called Comicpalooza. The venue was held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in the great state of Texas in Houston.
What is so inspiring about this built is the amount of preparation they had put into the presentation of the Viper Simulator along with other props. You can tell they had put a lot of hard work into it because of the many smiles you see when fans of the show, get inside the Viper Simulator and after they walk away from it. It didn’t matter how old they were. The smile kept coming. Just look at the photos from the recent convention that it was at on their Facebook page : @ClassicViper
But the one thing that caught our attention completely are some of the recent photos they have , posted on their fan page and the recent live video update they did. This live video update took us, the viewers, on a step by step tour of how they started their construction of the Viper Simulator and now, turning it into a full studio scale Viper. The live preview update was conducted by Team BSG Viper’s one and only Master Builder, Karl Kuhlenschmidt. The step by step presentation was very informative and gave us viewers, the inside look of what they based their built upon. And what we saw was nothing short of being extraordinary. The presentation of that live update tells us the in-depth knowledge of the people involved in the built and that they are more into the quality of the built rather than cutting corners so to speak. That is how we can tell, that Team BSG Viper of Battlestar Raven, really lives up to their Mission Statement of “Keeping the Faith Alive”.
Now, in conclusion to end this article of ours, here is our honest opinion on both builds. Both are phenomenal creation. Both sides put a lot of hard work into it to bring whatever they have created so far, to life. But in our humble opinion, NEVER sacrifice quality over quantity if your intentions is to truly honor the show and give the fans something to really be proud of. Both sides know what they are capable of doing and what their limitations are. But only one side was wise enough to choose quality over quantity and build it right! They studied their built while the other side did not. There is no excuse for poor judgement other than it will result in poor quality creation. EAGLES EYE NETWORK OUT!
