Pamela Foster refused to go to the hospital throughout her pregnancy. When Pamela went into labor with Hannah, she was at home with no medical staff in attendance. Unfortunately, Hannah was a breach pregnancy severely complicating the birth. Hannah would have died if not for the timely intervention of this character. Who delivered Hannah Foster, thus saving her life and perhaps vicariously, all of existence ? [...] The answer is Lex Foster. Lex never wanted a sister, but when she psychically felt Hannah dying, she intuitively activated her powers, reaching through the black and white and teleporting the baby out of the womb. Lex has no memory of this event.

#kingdom hearts 2 #kh2 #halloween town #scenery #my gif #i like that you can interact with some areas of the main town square like the guillotine; sewer vents; fountain; and gates #and that they'll attack you with a jumpscare if you're not prepared for it #it's clever #though they don't actually cause damage #oh yeah also the graves in the graveyard. they'll fall over on top of you if you stand too close #i don't know why but the skybox in the room with the scarecrow is navy blue instead of black like in every other room #i changed it because it stood out among the other gifs and i felt as though people would think i made a coloring error on accident #it's hardly noticeable in game. but yeah bit of trivia for you

Pink Anderson (1900-1974)

Pink Anderson was a historic figure whose music included Piedmont-style blues, folk music, ragtime, and traditional ballads. He was born in South Carolina and early on sang in the streets for pennies. He was self-taught as a guitarist and toured throughout the Southeast with a variety of medicine shows (including Dr. William R. Kerr's "cure all medicine") during 1915-1945, picking up work wherever he could. He was employed not only as a musician and a singer but as a dancer and comedian.

Anderson recorded four titles in 1928 but did not make another record until Harlem Street Spirituals in 1950 for Riverside. At that time he recorded such traditional folk material as “John Henry,’ ‘The Ship Titanic,” and “Wreck of the Old 97.” He continued to work at parties, street fairs, and medicine shows during the first half of the 1950s before retiring for a time due to ill health. But in 1961, the Bluesville label recorded three albums of unaccompanied performances by Anderson, documenting him in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The titles of the three records, Carolina Blues Man, Medicine Show Man, and Ballad & Folksinger, vol. 3, sum up Pink Anderson’s life well and are a large slice of the repertoire that he had performed during the previous 35 years.

Pink Anderson stayed active on a part-time basis up until the time of his death in 1974. His music represents the Carolina blues, and the tradition of the constantly traveling folk singer.

Floyd Council (1911-1976)

Floyd Council was a blues singer and guitar slinger who played in the East Coast / Piedmont style. He didn’t record solo often, but he’s still said to have recorded 27 songs, many backing up the legendary Blind Boy Fuller.

Born in North Carolina, Floyd began his musical career on the streets of Chapel Hill in the 1920s, performing with two brothers, Leo and Thomas Strowd as “The Chapel Hillbillies.” He recorded twice for ARC at sessions with Blind Boy Fuller in the mid-thirties, all examples of the Piedmont style. He was sometimes promoted as ‘Dipper Boy Council’, and ‘The Devil’s Daddy-in-Law,’ but these were likely the invention of record companies, not genuine nicknames.

Council suffered a stroke in the late 1960s which partially paralyzed his throat muscles and slowed his motor skills, but did not significantly damage his cognitive abilities. Folklorist Peter B. Lowry attempted to record him one afternoon in 1970, but he never regained his singing or playing abilities. Accounts say that he remained “quite sharp in mind.” Council died in 1976 of a heart attack, after moving to Sanford, North Carolina.

Pink Floyd

Pink Anderson and Floyd Council were both featured on a Blind Boy Fuller album called Country Blues: 1935-1940. The sleeve of that album caught the eye of Syd Barrett, the frontman for London band, The Tea Set. Barrett changed the band's name to Pink Floyd, and the rest is history.

I'd say that in the middle of above and below Is limbo.. or the middle! Basically maybe where wallys trying to contact us? Or maybe someone?

LIMBO THAT'S THE BITCH - i couldn't for the life of me recall the correct word, thank you

honestly i think Wally is contacting our world through it, but i doubt he's in it... if the pits / portals / possible entrances to limbo are the source of the black stuff, i have a feeling that Wally might not want to be in there. Between Places are rarely fun to exist inside of, anyway.

#but yeah if above is Us #and below is Home #then limbo is... what? there's gotta be Something in there if not Someone #whatever it is it's gotta be where you go when you leave the neighborhood #step off set and into the void babey! #which makes sense considering. Several Things which will for now not be listed #since i don't want to directly cite livestream trivia and concept art rn #that'd be a whole nother omelette to burn! #rambles from the bog #homebogging #wh speculation #welcome home speculation #ACTUALLY FUCK WAIT ABOVE IS PROBABLY HOME WHILE BELOW IS OUR WORLD #MY REASONING: #the phrase means that whatever happens in a higher plane of existence also happens in a lower one #in the so-below image it could be interpreted that the red splatters around home's window are meant to be the black stuff #thats plaguing the whrp. just... red since the rest of the art is black #and it's starting to become apparent that what wally can directly affect our world - he can tinker with the site and presumably reality #he's the one peering In. from outside. or above #black stuff plagues home. it plagues the whrp from letters/material sent By Wally #and then the spiral/eye pit in 'our' world is on the ceiling - while in wally's world it's under home #he's Over the possible limbo/between while we're Under it #plus i'd argue that a world where reality is malleable would be a higher plane of existence #and then limbo... would that be affected by either? or would it be the one to affect other planes? #but anyway! what do i know!

Pirate Trivia Time:

Here are some of my favourite bits of pirate trivia:

Ann Bonny's name has been spelled "Anne" with an e for 300 years due to a error in the trial record.

The sole surviving physical description of Ann Bonny and Mary Read by an eyewitness is basically "I knew they were women because they had big breasts".

Blackbeard once ransomed the city of Charleston for syphilis medication.

There is no known record of Blackbeard killing anyone before his final battle.

The word "buccaneer" has the same origins as the word "barbecue" (the boucan, a means of preparing meat).

A buccaneer, William Dampier, introduced the word "avocado" (among others) to the English language (he was also the first person to circumnavigate the world three times).

Wrecks of at least two pirate ships have been discovered: "Black Sam" Bellamy's Whydah Galley, and Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge.

Arguably the most successful pirate of all time was a Chinese woman, Ching Shih, aka Zheng Yi Sao.

Bartholomew Roberts had perhaps the most cinematic pirate death- trading broadsides with a man of war in the middle of a tropical storm.

Yes, Stede Bonnet actually had a library on his sloop, the Revenge.

I Just Watched Hulu’s PREY (the latest Predator sequel)... YALL #THIS IS A REC

*whew!!!*

So, a little tidbit about me. Around 20 years ago, I worked on a rez.  They had a community center with a TV and a DVD player with popular movies the people liked.  Like any other people in America they had a collection of all the genres, including action blockbusters. But... there were only two or three actual Indigenous culture-based movies.  The rest were mostly Latine (I think owing to the fact of Latine cultures having a lot of Indigenous blood/culture within them). I remember at the time, it struck me, that even as a black woman, I was privileged in this.  NO PEOPLES have less representation in pop culture than the 1st Nations peoples... You hear me? And you can forget just a regular-egular Hollywood blockbuster movie. #PREY should have been that big Hollywood blockbuster sleeper 2022 summer movie theater hit, yall. It is now, my FAVORITE movie that has come out this summer. It gave EVERYTHING. Indigenous folks finally have a big great quality action sci-fi movie. 

And a Native WOMAN gets to be that badass (I tell u, I reverted to a kid cheering them big 80′s muscley yt men action stars from back in the day) It’s not gimmicky, quippy, or overly-faux-reverant of the culture in that cringey way yt media does with that ~wise magical NDN~ garbage...No they are just people living their lives.

It just does what it’s supposed to.  It patiently builds enough character so you care what happens to them. It gives that meaningful character journey, heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat and badass-bloody action, and a satisfying ending.

Which is all you want in a action film. And even tho I’m not Native, the fact that it’s also in genre (sci-fi) something I know some yt folks don’t think marginalized peoples have a leading place in (i.e. woke/forced b.s.), just gave me chills and made me happy in that way BP did, -that another marginalized group is getting space at the table too (long overdue tho it is). Naru is THEE SHIT. SEE THIS FUCKING MOVIE YALL, espec. if you are an action movie stan, like myself and/or a Predator fan who has been waiting for the good quality sequel to the OG movie, and like believeable action woman leads. Just for the record, I like Predator 2 and Predators and don’t acknowledge the existence of any other sequels, except for that part where Sanaa and the Predator got along (I’m sorry yall, Predators are the Negroes of aliens in space, I don’t make the rules....They only gave trophies and ritual to the two black leads) But PREY????

...MUTHAFCCIN PREY??? It rivals the OG Predator, I KID YOU NOT. If you are planning to have an action movie night this weekend??? 

Cue this sucker up and get your popcorn. SEE IT!!

#thisisarec #prey #prey hulu #review #I loved this movie so much #a bitch loves a good action movie #and a bitch loves seeing underrepped people in good-ass genre #in this case sci-fi/action #amber midthunder #goddammit I love this movie!!! #prey movie #a brutha yall #trivia: also the hubby of sesame street actress: #loretta long aka susan #add them locs?? the black ppl of aliens in movies lol #hulu prey #prey 2022 #kevin peter hall was the OG predator's name #that's what happens when you go from memory

I was today years old when I found out that the villain in the Doctor Who episode "Thin Ice" is named Lord Sutcliffe because the writer, Sarah Bollard, was writing Hannibal fanfic at the time and unconsciously named the villain after Dr. Donald Sutcliffe, a character from the Hannibal episode "Buffet Froid," and later said that she felt the two characters could be related because they were both "selfish and twisted." Iconic. Go off, queen.

Turns out that if a Gym Leader is also a performer then their likability goes through the roof for me

#pokemon black and white #pokemon sword and shield #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon bw #pokemon swsh #pokemon scvi #gym leader elesa #gym leader piers #gym leader raihan #gym leader roxie #gym leader iono #gym leader nessa #gym leader ryme #don’t pay too much attention to order it’s just to play around cropping #nessa is sort of an exception because her being a model is more fun trivia while the others base their entire personas off their performin #but since her piers and raihan are my favorite gym leaders I figured she should be included #well galar gym leaders I mean
