At eighteen, Andromeda Black was given a choice. A choice between love, and duty.

What if she chose duty?

Read Chapter 6 on AO3

Read from the beginning on AO3

This chapter is a gift for @starlingflight who posted the Epilogue for her Hinny fic Someone Else's Life today and she deserves a treat for completely blowing my mind with that entire fic.

We have never had an accurate portrayal of Perseus and Andromeda on screen and I need someone to change that. The whitewashing of Andromeda has been diabolical and is none other than yt ppl trying to erase Black ppl from history. As usual.

CONFESSION:

I enjoyed Andromeda. I give it 6.5/10. There were moments when I thought it was amazing and moments where it was just meh. Loved Drack, Jaal and Vetra. I saw the potential it had. But there was one element that grated on me and that was Sara Ryder's voice. I managed one play with a female Ryder while I played twice witha male Ryder. Her voice was just aggravating. Sara sounded like she watched a lot of those cheesy teen films from the 1980s.

If they’re remaking Harry Potter instead of the million other better things they could do with the HP world (namely: ‘The Four Founders’ ‘Hogwarts: Origins’ and ‘The Marauders’/ATYD), can they at least cast Andrew Garfield as old Lupin, Ben Barnes as old Sirius, ATJ as James in the flashback death scenes, Sophie Skelton as Lily, Dane DeHaan as Pettigrew, Timothee Chalamet as Regulus Black (again for the flashbacks), Sophia Bryant as Mary Macdonald, Alicia Vikander as Marlene McKinnon, Keira Knightly and James McAvoy as Andromeda and Ted and so on…

If we didn’t get a marauders film series when the og fancast was young at least give us old marauders in the background 🙏🏼

and pls pls pls make wolfstar, dorlene, + more lgbt ships happen and be fully canon I’m on my knees beggin pls 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

not to mention all the Harry Potter era characters that were whitewashed (and I know some people are starting a new fancast for marauders and I love the diversity but it’s been so long and I just cannot see these characters being played by anyone else, sorry)

JKR can fight me 🤺🤺🤺

Opinions on some fan films

Let's start from the assumption that I love the idea of fan films, because they are practically fan fiction interpreted by enthusiasts with shoestring budgets. Moving forward I would like to focus mainly on two fan films, which are in fact my favorites: Voldemort: Origins of the Heir and Sisters of House Black. I'd start with the first. I find that the story told in Voldemort: Origins of the Heir is very unbelievable, so I would never include it in my canon, but from the point of view of the costumes, the settings, the acting (especially that of the young Voldemort) and partly also I find it a real source of pride for us Italian fans (yes, I'm Italian, so forgive me for my imperfect English). Moving on to Sisters of House Black, however, I find that the story (except perhaps Cygnus' abuse of Bellatrix's memories) is quite good and also credible. The costumes are very beautiful and I really like the acting of the three girls. I admit that I have seen other fan films besides these two, but I don't remember them very well, but I liked these so much that I watched them again several times. In general, especially for those who love the characters of Voldemort and the Black sisters, I recommend them.

I just saw that post where you answered that ask about your fancast for Andromeda and omg I've never thought of Carla Gugino!!!??? I love her!!!! Omg😲 I've always pictured Rachel Weisz for Andy but now I'm liking the picture of Carla Gugino!Andy 👀

It was @waxwing-saint who I think told me about it first 🤣 but my memory's foggy. I could be wrong. Still, we went absolutely NUTS for that fancast. I remember it was around the time of The Haunting of Hill House, back at its peak I think? I hadn't seen the series at that point but saint kept sending gifs of Carla Gugino!Andy and I wondered where it came. That fancast literally forced me to binge the entire thing on a single night. Okay, I have to admit. I binged it all in one night because I was too afraid to move in the living room until the sun went up 💀💀 😭✋

But yes. Mostly for that fancast. Carla Gugino's wardrobe and hairstyle there was so Andy *chef's kiss* ❤️👀👀

#andromeda tonks #andromeda black #drabstuff #carla gugino #hp fancast #im gonna die think abt it post war andy #WHY was she not in the films 😭😭#it still hurts

Concept: link is taller then Zelda but only because he os wearing 6 inch heels

that's my canon whenever I see fanart of them and he's weirdly towering over her.

#dont suppress the truth this guy is LITTOL #ask andromeda #zelink #he has his ceremonial hooker heels that he wears only for special occasions #like rdj when he's being filmed next to 6ft tall guys

The erasure of records, digitization, and 1990s Hollywood films [Part 1]

Gif of one of the scenes from Hackers (1995)

Some time ago, I watched a number of 1990s Hollywood films, such as Sneakers (1992), Hackers (1995), The Net (1995), and My Fellow Americans (1996), where the "everything's on the computer" state of records, as stated in passing in The Andromeda Strain (1971), has been reached. All of these films share a similar theme: the erasure and change of records (mostly digital), which has an increased relevance as archival institutions continue to digitize more and more of their records, although not everything, as I noted in my post about challenges of archival digitization in late April 2019.

Note: This article is reprinted from my History Hermann blog, with this post published there on May 19, 2019. I published it on my Wading Through the Archival Stacks WordPress blog on Aug. 28, 2020 with some revisions because I thought it was relevant to archives, at least when it comes to films.

Looking at the 1990s films

Let's start with The Net since it was the first of these films that I watched, computer with bulky hand-held phones and dial-up computers. In this film, Sandra Bullock plays an isolated middle-aged White woman (Angela Bassett) who is a "program systems analyst from Los Angeles" who lives most of her life online, talking in chat rooms and ordering pizza. That all changes when she takes a trip to Cessna (before which there is a computer malfunction which screws with flights), Mexico, meets a man who basically seduces her in order to get control of a virus which is on a floppy disk, of all things. This plan fails, however, as she realizes, after literally sleeping with him for some reason, that he wants to kill her, so she gets away in a dingy that crashes on rocks, knocking her unconscious. She wakes up three days later in a hospital and the disk has been destroyed. As she is about to go back into the country, after a record was changed that checked her out of the hotel, she is told to sign a temporary visa document which states that her name is Ruth Marx.

youtube

As the movie goes from here, she realizes that her identity has been stolen by an imposter, with the change of records by the villains who want to make profits off their security technology and gain access to every system possible. With this, the movie is a bit of warning that it is very easy for someone to be digitally erased with so much of our lives online, with which you don't even have to spoil the ending. Clearly, there are inept secondary characters (police officers, nurses, and jailers), many of whom, like sole archivist Madame Nu in Attack of the Clones think that records are inviolable and cannot be changed. The partially inept villains are even able to kill a few people, like the Undersecretary of Defense by falsifying a report saying he has AIDS and a friend of Bullock's character. At one point, she says that "our whole lives are on the computer, and they knew that I could vanish. They knew that nobody would care and it wouldn't matter." Later she adds to the inept court-appointed lawyer, who believes in the inviolability of the records in that they cannot be tampered with, to defend her from false charges:

Just think about it. Our whole world is sitting there on a computer. It's in the computer. Everything. Your DMV records, your Social Security... your credit cards, your medical history. It's all right there. Everyone is stored. And there's this little electronic shadow on each of us... just begging for somebody to screw with. They've done it to me, and they're gonna do it to you...I'm not Ruth Marx. They invented her. They put her on your computer with my thumbprint.

There were some similar themes in the 1992 film, Sneakers, which starred Robert Redford. The film focuses on attempts to create a black box that would crack American codes, allowing access to any American security system. In the process, a team tries to steal the box back and one of the characters purchases blueprints from the county recorders office for $50.00, leading the movie to be cited as an example of "the use and portrayal of records in film." [1] With the information from the county recorder's office, and their own observations, they are able to break-in into the company of the villain and get the box, but before it is handed to the NSA, one of the characters removes the main processing chip.

There is more than that. Redford's character is basically a hacker, as was his friend Cosmo (who is the film's villain) who was arrested and thrown into prison for computer crimes. The black box has a similar power to malicious code in The Net. Again, the focus is that records can easily be changed, or in the case of this movie, mimicked, to certain ends. Like the previously mentioned film, the cast is mostly White, but a bit more diverse in that they have a former Black CIA agent on the team of the "heroes."

Notes

[1] Kyle Neill, Senior Archivist of the Peel Art Gallery Museum & Archives also argues that there are archival themes in The Dark Knight (2008), The Avengers (1998), Chinatown (1974), and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011).
