The one thing I'll say for living close to a city is that I get to go see shows a hell of a lot more often than I would otherwise which I really do appreciate.

Anyway it was a fantastic show and as usual, I have full audio to trade. Right before For Forever, there was a "all cast and crew please leave the stage" announcement and we were on pause for about 20 minutes before Pierce Wheeler came on to replace Jeffrey Cornelius as Evan for the rest of the show, so there's a weird gap there unfortunately.

However I will say that the star of the show was absolutely August Emerson as Connor, he has an incredible voice and just was amazing

#that does not actually mean I like cities #but if anyone has a full jeffrey cornelius show available to trade for something I'd absolutely love that?? #he was really good #we saw august and pierce leaving the theatre shortly after the show #which was exceptionally weird since they were just walking along with the rest of the crowd leaving the theatre #off to go take a break before the matinee I think #I wouldn’t have even recognized them if not for august’s bleached hair #was I mildly tempted to go bother them with some theatre questions #and ask about what it’s genuinely like trying to get employed in the theatre industry #since that’s my one big fear when I get out of college #yes I absolutely was #but chickened out even when they were right there #anyway the show was 10/10 even with the interruption #no way that would go as smoothly at my own school theatre #dear evan hansen #deh #dear evan hansen tour #jeffrey cornelius #august emerson #reese sebastian diaz

[leoruby-draws]

Here are some drawings I did while thinking of potential teams for Jason in the Training Wheels au, I drew these a while ago actually. They've been stuck in my drafts for months (since like...October last year lol) decided to just post before I forget about it again.

When thinking up teams, I used different sorts of criteria. Being close in age, similar upbringings, their relationships to their parental figure/mentors, if they share similar narrative niches in their respective family/teams. Sometimes I get inspired by other peoples ideas for a team too, it's fun to see how different people create so many different teams.

Plus some of these characters never got to be part of kids team of their own, if they did it either didn't last long or ended badly. So I wanted a place for them to just be happy ig.

Anyways I'll post their names under the read more, so this post doesn't get too long.

First team (top row, from left to right)- Silver Swan (Vanessa Kapatelis), Rankorr (Jack Moore), Tefe Holland (from Swamp Thing), and Godspeed (August Heart).

Bottom row- Ravager (Rose Wilson), Jason Todd, Kid Devil (Eddie Bloomberg) , the main trio.

The first one was one I thought of right away, but thinking it over they seemed better fitted for a more older, anti-hero type team (look at poor Eddie, he looks so out of place there lol). Of these characters, I think I might drop Godspeed as a member, since he's Barry's age him being here wouldn't work. I'm thinking Owen Mercer could be a better fit hmm.

Second Team - Koryak, Anima (Courtney Mason), Damage (Grant Emerson), Black Alice (Lori Zechlin), and the main trio.

This second team is probably a more better fit for my Training Wheels au tbh, maybe a bit edgy but its more of a place for wayward angry teenagers trying to find their place in the world.

Third Team ( Not an actual team, just a mishmash of characters I considered) -

Yonder Man, Meow Meow (Nyan Nyan?) (randoms from Get Joker)

Crux (Simon Amal), Essence, and Strike (Dana Harlowe) from RHaTO

and Arsenal (Roy Harper) I grabbed from the Young Justice cartoon, he's the younger one who got kidnapped and put on ice. I always kinda wished that he'd be retconned into being New52 Roy tbh.

Anyways these are just random thoughts I had for a alternate universe Robin Jason team I've had for a while, I have a bunch more drawings showcasing these characters. I'll try to space them out posting them, so that I don't end up spamming ya'll.

If your interested on why I chose any particular character, you can always drop an ask!

THURSDAY HERO: Mildred Harnack

Mildred “Mili” Harnack was a writer and academic from Wisconsin who moved to Berlin with her German husband in 1930. As Hitler rose to power, Mili created the largest resistance group in Nazi Germany and was targeted for execution by the Fuhrer himself.

Mili was born Mildred Fish in Milwaukee in 1902. Her father William was a teacher, and her mother Georgina was an activist for women’s suffrage. Mili had a natural facility with languages, and was fluent in German by the time she reached adulthood. Throughout her life, Mili loved German literature and culture. She attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where she majored in English literature. Mili lived in a rooming house popular with writers, and worked as a film and drama critic for a local newspaper.

After receiving her BA, Mili went on to earn an MA in English in 1925. The next year she moved back to Milwaukee and worked as a lecturer at the Milwaukee State Normal School (now the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee.) She met Arvid Harnack, a German economist and lawyer who was studying at the university on a Rockefeller fellowship. Arvid was from a prominent family of German intellectuals. After a whirlwind love affair, they were married in August 1926 at her brother’s farm. Arvid’s fellowship ended and he returned to Germany, followed by Mili the year later, after she completed a teaching session at Goucher College in Baltimore.

In Germany, Mili worked on her doctoral thesis and lectured at universities in German cities Jena and Giessen. The country was plunging deeper into political turmoil, and the Nazi party was rising to power amid the chaos. More than half of Mili’s students were outspoken Nazis. She moved to Berlin in 1930 to be with her husband, and began working as an assistant lecturer in English and American literature at the University of Berlin. Mili lectured about her favorite English and American writers including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, Thomas Hardy and George Bernard Shaw. She was so popular with students that in just a year and a half, enrollment in the class tripled.

Mili connected with other American expatriates in Berlin and formed a literary salon where anti-Nazi academics and intellectuals could express themselves freely. By 1934, the Nazi secret police were everywhere and the salon was disbanded. Fellow ex-pat Martha Dodd, a close friend of Mili’s, later described her Berlin salon as “the last of the meager remnants of free thought.” Many of those who had participated in the salons continued to meet in the Harnacks’ living room but instead of discussing literature, they planned anti-Nazi political activism

Meanwhile, Mili achieved renown as a writer. She published essays in prominent German literary journals until the mid-30’s, when magazines started to print only “approved opinions” (in support of Hitler). She was able to continue working as a translator, and her German-language translation of Irving Stone’s biography of Vincent van Gogh, Lust for Life, was published in 1936.

Mili returned to the U.S. on a book tour in 1937, and her old friends were shocked at the drastic change in her personality. Earlier she had been friendly and easy-going, but four years living under Nazi rule made Mili anxious, stiff and guarded. She’d had to wear a metaphorical mask to survive in the totalitarian German state, and couldn’t shed the mask even when she left Europe. Mili’s family urged her to stay in the U.S. but she was determined to return to her husband and her political activism group, now called “The Circle.”

Mili’s unassuming manner combined with an extremely sharp intellect enabled her to penetrate the highest circles of German politics and diplomacy. She used these connections to get exit and travel visas for Jewish friends and colleagues, among them prominent publisher Max Tau. Mili also surreptitiously gleaned information from highly placed contacts, which she transmitted to fellow members of the resistance.

Mildred was fired from her teaching job at the University of Berlin because of her political beliefs, and she began teaching at night school, where her students were mostly working class or unemployed. She recruited many of them to join The Circle. The group published anti-Nazi leaflets, written by Mildred, and secretly left stacks of them in public places throughout the city.

German intelligence called them “the Red Orchestra” and falsely smeared them as communists working for the Soviets. Undeterred, the group increased their activities and cooperated with other resistance units. Around this time Mili wrote, “I saw it clearly before my eyes. From then on our work not only implies the risk of losing our freedom, from now on death was a possibility.” Led by Mili, The Circle became the largest resistance group in Nazi Germany. They incited civil disobedience against the Nazi regime, documented Nazi atrocities, and transmitted military intelligence to the Allies.

In the summer of 1942, the Nazis intercepted radio transmissions that revealed the identity of prominent resistance fighters including the Harnacks. On September 7, Mili and Arvid were arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned. Arvid was tried by the Reich Military Tribunal and sentenced to death on December 19. He was hanged three days later at Plotzensee Prison.

Mili languished in a squalid prison cell for months, where she was tortured and contracted tuberculosis. She went on trial and was sentenced to six years in prison. However, Hitler heard about the American woman who fought so effectively against his regime, and he ordered a new trial for Mili. The kangaroo court delivered a pre-determined death sentence, and at Hitler’s explicit request Mili was beheaded by guillotine on February 16, 1943. Her last words were, “And I have loved Germany so much!” After her execution, Mili’s body was given to an anatomy professor at Humboldt University to dissect for research. After he finished, he gave the rest of her remains to a friend of hers, who had Mili buried in Zehlendorf Cemetery in Berlin.

The only writing that survived from her time in prison were a few translated lines from Goethe: “In all the frequent troubles of our days/A God gave compensation – more his praise/In looking sky-and heavenward as duty/In sunshine and in virtue and in beauty.”

Mildred’s brave actions and tragic death have not been forgotten. In Berlin, a street and a school are named for her, and in her native Wisconsin schools observe Mildred Fish Harnack Day. The University of Wisconsin-Madison hosts an annual Mildred Fish-Harnack Human RIghts and Democracy Lecture, and a sculpture of Mili was unveiled in Madison in 2019.

For fighting Hitler at the cost of her own life, we honor Mildred Harnack as this week’s Thursday Hero.

STEDDIE MICROFIC AUGUST: ‘Try A Slice’

@steddiemicrofic | Word: Cake | Word Count: 311 Rated: M (for swears and suggestive content) | CW: none

——

“I’m telling you Gareth, somehow…I will get me a slice of that delicious cake.”

Gareth’s head snapped up from the book he was pursuing, “Cake! Where?”

He scanned the shop until his eyes landed on Harrington and Robin Buckley. Steve was turned toward her leaving his gorgeous lithe backside and perfect fucking ass right in Eddie’s eye-line.

Eddie smirked, eyes darting from Gareth back to Steve. “I just want to bite him.”

Understanding crossed Gareth’s face quickly replaced by disgust, “Literally, ew.”

“Mark my words, I will devour him on a silver fucking platter.”

——

Two Years Later

“Harrington, it was traumatizing.”

Eddie smiled, listening to his best friend and the love of his life, shoot the shit in their living room.

“What was traumatizing Emerson?” Eddie asks, placing a kiss on Steve’s head.

Steve leans back, leaning his head on Eddie’s chest. Looks up, meeting Eddie’s eyes.

“Oh, your Gare was telling me that you had a little obsession with um—“ Eddie watches as Steve’s cheeks dusted pink with blush. It was delicious, and Eddie just wanted to lick him. “—cake?”

Eddie cocked his brow, sure he has a hell of a sweet tooth but—

“Steve’s Ass. Before you started dating you were obsessed with his ‘dump truck’ of an ass!” Gareth howled, laughing.

Steve leaned forward sputtering. That delicious red of his cheeks spreading down his neck.

Eddie didn’t know if he should thank Gareth or kill him.

“And I still am. Have you seen it?” Eddie asks.

“Ed, ew!” Gareth exclaims hopping up from the couch.

Eddie laughs, clapping Gareth on the shoulder. “You’re the one trying to embarrass me! I for one will never be embarrassed that my sweet boyfriend is a fucking snack.”

Eddie pushes Gareth out the front door.

Once Gareth leaves, Eddie flings himself at Steve.

“What do you say baby, time for dessert?”
