when i'm 40 and you're 31 we'll get back together you'll see ( future austin butler x priscilla actress reader headcanons )

which is to say welcome to headcanons no one actually asked for but are for the fic one anon did ask for. i need some of this out of my brain, so welcome hello everyone who decided to read this. if you didn't it's okay this is really becoming self indulgent and a way for me to just acknowledge that paul newman and joanne woodward had an excellent couple vibe even when it was rough. i will take no further questions on that fact.

tw: honestly, maybe like mentions of cheating ( not actual cheating ), the normal daddy kink/age difference thing with me and pa! reader, drunkenness? truthfully i was rather tame on all of this.

because consider the two of you never properly make up after you break up. sure, you go on the press tour for elvis and you're cordial. you play up some fake love for the camera and it works well enough. it stings for both of you but he has kaia now and you're- you're doing what you prefer, enjoying a partner who realizes that maybe you only need them for right now but you'll both be happy in the meantime. a serial monogamist, not a maneater, thank you very much. but hey your date for the premiere is pretty cute and you could see him lasting longer than a few months. maybe he's from home or maybe he's another up and coming actor. point is, he's easy and he's enough of a dom that he'll be fine.

consider that when oscar season rolls around austin and kaia are still together and you and your guy are too. no need to play up for the cameras but "oh y/n! austin! can we have a picture!" and you obilge because you're both nominated and what's the harm. a lot of harm in that he holds your waist so tight you're transported to your (his) bedroom and you physically recoil when the picture's done. you both win, of course, some other about how the last time the academy saw chemistry like this it was with the old school hollywood movie types. austin gets a little too tipsy and kaia and your date have to go home early because she's got a shoot and so does yours. you get stuck shepherding your lush drunk ex into an uber that you join him in because "austin robert butler you idiot." and he utters filth at you like you're still dating. he does not cheat on kaia and you do not cheat on your man that night but it's a near miss with "daddy would have given you an oscar baby to go with your oscar." that night is the last time you officially talk to him for 10 years.

consider! he keeps dating kaia for another year, shocking literally everyone but it's fine because she's sweet and you keep dating your beau for- well you keep dating him and dating him and when you first actually meet vanessa on the set of her movie that you happen to be a part of and you become friends she literally looks at you and your boyfriend and seems Concerned. you find out later when you're both at cochella a year later that "girl, don't be like me with the long relationship if you're not going through with it." you choose not to dwell on what ( who ) she means by that.

but consider you both keep track of each other's careers and maybe he sees you on broadway and the same is true for you seeing him. maybe you both get nominated for tonys that year. maybe one or both of you win. maybe you see him that night and it's been over six years and he's got some woman his age on his arm and you've got your saint of a man on yours and it shouldn't hurt but seeing his blue eyes just send a painful spasm to your heart.

maybe now it's ten years on and austin is engaged to be married but he keeps pushing off the wedding ( rumors say he's cheating on her or she's pregnant and doesn't want to ruin the dress, you pay more attention than you should ) but he's still engaged which is more than you can say for you and your boyfriend. "you know how embarrassing it is to just be known as your boyfriend? you know how many jokes they make about you gettIng your own austin butler to make up for the fact that he left you?" you leave him that night.

consider it's ten years on and he's 40 but still so handsome and god you could have had that if you just- if everything had just- if elvis and priscilla hadn't invaded your lives, if you hadn't been stuck inside isolating with nothing that could pull you two down. you don't dwell on it. you try to not dwell on it.

but also consider the fact that he might be a serial monogamist himself but he can't- your ring your copy of priscilla's ring is always in his place. stashed away so whoever he is with can't see it. he should get rid of it and maybe that will make him think he can take the plunge finally.

maybe there's a new project that vanessa ( who you've become good friends with and you're the godmother of her kid/kids ) is passing on but "you'd be perfect for it, y/n!" what you don't know is she tells the same thing to austin.

it's another baz film and honestly you miss the director enough that you figure it's worth a shot. see if the man wanted to cast you again.

consider that he sees you and his eyes light up, he's already cast austin and maybe he thinks you're the best on screen couple he's ever had the pleasure of directing. but still formalities and all and there's that pesky chemistry test and you both freeze eyes settling on each other's matching ( still matching ) dove necklaces.

but you're professionals and somehow you still have that chemistry. you're not on the floor, austin is this time which is such a role reversal you'd have laughed about it in another life. all it does in this one is make you want to touch him and call him daddy like nothing had changed.

baz tells you that you've got the part before you've left the room. it's opposite austin and maybe he leaves the room first. this time you follow him and hold his wrist and when he says "i've got to go" you tap once.

"i like the little bit of grey, mr. butler. shame you're not a brunette right now. can't make a proper salt and pepper joke." "you don't look a day over 25, lil- guess i can't call you lil dove any more can i?" "maybe i wish you would, daddy."

consider you don't fall right into bed because you're older now and you've got to talk this time. but the kiss he gives you when you call him daddy like that offhandedly like time hadn't passed? that makes you almost throw caution to the wind and do it anyway. after all you can't have something like this go wrong twice in one lifetime.

consider. no it just means you get to deal with a completely separate mess this second go around.

#future austin butler x pa! reader #do not look at me like that.#i am indulging myself alright.#austin butler x priscilla actress reader #austin butler #ally writes #austin butler x reader #austin butler x y/n #i legit don't even know how to tag this.#because i mean TECHNICALLY it is. but is it?#i don't know we'll all figure it out by the time i actually write and post the fic.#time can do so much fic #yeah that's probably the actual title.#so yeah this happened today.

African Americans forged free lives in Civil War refugee camps

Refugee camps for African Americans during the Civil War show how they built a future from the ashes of slavery, a historian explains.

More than 300 refugee camps sprang up during the war with more than 800,000 African Americans passing through them at some point. Most residents were slaves or ex-slaves fleeing the clutches of their enslavers and the Confederate army, estimates Abigail Cooper, an assistant professor of history at Brandeis University who has a joint appointment in African and African American Studies.

Others came to find family members who had been sold to different slave owners.

“By looking at this in-between moment when slavery’s end was possible but not assured, we can look to how African Americans made and lived out freedom on their own terms,” Cooper says.

“African Americans gathered to forge a monumental psychological transformation from knowing America as their enslaver to envisioning America as their home.”

Cooper wrote about the camps in her 2015 PhD dissertation and more recently in the Journal of African American History.

Mary Armstrong’s story

In 1863, newly freed from bondage and living in St. Louis, 17-year-old Mary Armstrong did the unthinkable—she journeyed to the slave-holding South.

Armstrong, one of more than 2,000 former slaves who told their stories to the New Deal’s Federal Writers’ Project in the late 1930s, had been separated from her parents as a child when they were sold to other owners.

Armstrong learned through the grapevine that her kin might be in Texas so, as she says in her interview, “away I goin’ to find my mamma.”

With the Civil War raging, she set out with two baskets full of food and clothing and a small amount of money, traveling more than 1,000 miles by boat and then stagecoach to Texas.

In Austin, she was captured and put up for bid, securing her freedom only at the last minute by showing her papers to the Texas official in charge of the auction.

Armstrong eventually found her mother in the city of Wharton, some 150 miles south of Austin, at a refugee camp for African Americans.

Armstrong described the reunion: “Lawd me, talk ’bout cryin’ and singin’ and cryin’ some more, we sure done it.”

Armstrong later went on to become a nurse in the Houston area, saving numerous lives in the yellow fever epidemic of 1875.

What were the refugee camps like?

A camp could hold anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand people, most of them living in barracks or fabric tents.

The Union set up some of the camps, the first two in 1861 along the coast in Virginia and South Carolina, followed by others in Kentucky and Tennessee and along the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis, Missouri. Officially, they were called “contraband camps,” because freed people were considered property confiscated from the South.

Another group of camps located mainly in the South behind Confederate lines was created ad hoc by blacks themselves. (Cooper has posted an interactive map of the locations of the camps).

At a camp in Hampton, Virginia called Slabtown and later the Grand Contraband Camp, African Americans built houses so sturdy the Union later appropriated them to house troops.

There were also four black schools in the camp, one of which became the future site of Hampton University, one of the premier historically black educational institutions in the country.

Life as a refugee

Conditions in many of the camps were squalid and disease was common. Black refugees lived in constant fear and terror of raids from southern whites. At one point, the Confederate army plundered and burned Slabtown to the ground.

Whites also lived in the camps, most of them seeking shelter from the war. They were treated differently from blacks. A rations list Cooper discovered for a camp in New Bern, North Carolina, shows that 1,800 whites received 76½ barrels of flour over the course of three months in 1862-63. During the same period, the 7,500 blacks there received 19 barrels.

But despite the hardships and oppression, Cooper says that the camps offered the formerly enslaved people their first opportunity to savor freedom, reunite as families and lay the groundwork for a new society and religion.

Never before had so many former slaves of so many different cultures gathered in such concentrations with the possibility of freedom near. There was an exchange of ideas, traditions, and rituals that fostered literacy and education and led to religious revivals.

Camp inhabitants compared their plight to the Israelites in the desert in the book of Exodus, freed from slavery but not yet delivered to their new country.

“More than anything, we should make careful study of the remarkable amount of resourcefulness it took for refugee slaves to gather their families into Union lines, to build information networks, to pray, eat, hoe, sing, give birth, share living space, take care of each other’s children, to imagine home while in a place outside a ‘household,'” Cooper wrote in her dissertation.

Over and over again, the residents in the camps talk about the importance of shoes. On plantations, masters kept slaves’ footwear locked up at night so they couldn’t escape. A good pair of shoes was necessary to make the difficult trek, sometimes through forests and rocky terrain, to the camps. Without shoes, you could more easily be picked out in a crowd as an escaped slave, and kidnappers lurked, attempting to sell people back into slavery.

Refugees carried money and protective charms in their shoes. They also fashioned footwear from plantain leaves. Their pungent smell was useful in throwing off the scent of the hounds patrollers and former owners used to track them down.

A common song went, “I got shoes, you got shoes, All o’ God’s chillun got shoes. When I get to heav’n I’m goin’ to put on my shoes.”

Religious freedom

Cooper says folk religion informed black visions for their new society. Emancipation as a divine reckoning was the lens through which they defined liberty. Freedom meant the right to practice their religion.

It was through refugee camps, Cooper wrote in her thesis, that black refugees “sought to transform the Egypt of the Slave South into a New Canaan.”

“Their great soul-hungering desire was freedom.”

Critical to this was the ability to read the Bible for themselves for the first time in their lives. Southern slaveholders had used selected passages to justify slavery.

African Americans in the camps now formed Bible study groups and found scripture to support their liberation. The Jubilee in the Old Testament marks the day when Hebrew slaves would be freed from bondage in Egypt. African Americans created their own Emancipation Jubilee on January 1, 1863, the day the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect.

Another jubilee was celebrated in 1865 with the passage of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. And a grand jubilee celebrated annually well into the 20th century as “Juneteenth” commemorated June 19th, 1865, when word of southern surrender reached black camps in Texas.

Grieving was an all too common experience in the camps, but black refugees in the camps turned mourning rituals into opportunities for empowerment. “There was all this death going on around them,” Cooper says, “but they were dying in freedom, and that meant something. Many saw going back to slavery as even worse.”

One woman who had three of her children die in a camp expressed relief because she knew where her children were buried. If they had been sold away from her, she would not know whether they lived or died or how to mourn them.

In what were called “watch meetings” or “watch-night meetings” or “setting up,” adults at all-night funerals danced, clapped, prayed, and experienced ecstatic visions.

“The slaves would sing, pray, and relate experiences all night long,” former slave Mary Gladdy says. “Their great soul-hungering desire was freedom.”

Jennie Boyd’s story

Jennie Boyd’s contractions had already started when her family realized they had to move on. She had been hiding out in Springfield, Missouri, but now her owners were close to finding her. Meanwhile, the Wilson’s Creek battle on August 10, 1861, raged nearby, making it dangerous to stay any longer.

The Boyds headed west toward Arizona accompanied at times by a retreating regiment of the Confederate army. Jennie told her 4-year-old daughter Emma to stay close and not go near anything that was smoking in case it was an explosive.

Jennie was in full labor by the time the family arrived in Bethphage, some 80 miles to the southwest. It was little more than a camping ground in the wilderness, but it was here that Jennie gave birth.

The baby was born “sick and delicate,” Emma later recalled, but she survived. Jennie honored the camp by naming her newborn after it—Priscilla Bethpage.

The Boyds continued west but soon crossed paths with a band of Union soldiers who offered to take them back to Springfield where one of Jennie’s other daughters remained enslaved. The family found refuge there in the home of a white Union sympathizer.

When the war ended in 1865, the family moved to a black settlement known as “Dink-town” in central Arkansas. Emma says freed people there “dug holes in the ground, made dug-outs, brush houses, with a piece of board here and there, whenever they could find one, until finally they had a little village.”

They were staking their claims on making homes in freedom as best they could. It was here, Emma says, that “they sang and prayed and rejoiced.”

Views of freedom

Cooper’s research points to a new way of understanding the political emancipation of African Americans. Often cast in terms of African Americans winning the right to vote or running candidates for office, Cooper believes there were other, equally fundamental ways that blacks viewed freedom.

Freedom had a spiritual dimension that fueled a radical transformation of what it meant to be a black American.

“W.E.B. DuBois says it almost a century ago: ‘To most of the four million black folk emancipated by the Civil War, God was real,'” Cooper says.

“The postwar period will present new forms of oppression and exploitation, but black Americans will still celebrate emancipation and how they made it. This will feed their ongoing freedom struggle and their resilience,” she says.

Everything That Upset the Internet This Week

What is the web-o-sphere angry about this week? A fashion spread inspired by a late poet, a film director with a habit of flashing his penis and Rihanna’s Fenty x Savage Valentine’s Day collection. Here’s everything you need to know.

A Resurfaced Sylvia Plath Fashion Spread Features a Gas Stove

THE STORY: The Internet has unearthed a 2017 fashion merchandise guide from Spanish women’s magazine, Glamour España, which features a page inspired by author and poet, Sylvia Plath. Amidst the various clothing items—a pair of Gucci loafers, a tweed jacket, purple lens sunglasses—the publication included a pink gas stove from Italian appliance designer Smeg. Plath, who was diagnosed with clinical depression at the age of 20, ended her life by putting her head inside a gas stove in 1963, when she was 30 years old.

THE REACTION:

This Sylvia Plath fashion spread includes a GAS STOVE. https://t.co/DmiRoAQvKj

— Amanda Fortini (@amandafortini) January 8, 2019

What were they thinking? Shockingly inhuman – no heart, no empathy.

— Celery Legs ⚡️ (@ohcelerylegs) January 9, 2019

STEAL HER LOOK: Sylvia Plath “aesthetic” complete with an actual GAS STOVE.

Whoever published this is outta whack. You’re capitalising off of a woman’s tragic life and death. It’s not chic, or fashionable, or a feminist statement. You’re selling a romanticised suicide. https://t.co/w05CNlOHBn

— Pασℓσ 🏴🐱 (@leGato_Noir) January 9, 2019

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: Yes, this is incredibly tasteless —and it probably would have come across so even if the pink oven were excluded from the page. Sylvia Plath may have a legacy of “compelling and profound literary work” and “austere style with an intellectual air” (these are translated quotes from Glamour España) but she’s still a tragic figure. Pop culture has a strange and somewhat morbid obsession with beautiful women, suffering artists and gruesome death, but that doesn’t make it okay to make light of mental health issues by turning tortured individuals into poster girls for a vintage, academic-chic aesthetic. Let this pulled 2013 Vice ‘Women in Fiction’ issue fashion spread, featuring models posed as famous female writers who have killed themselves, serve as a reminder of that. It’s heartless, not edgy.

Writer and Director of Green Book Are Revealed to Have Problematic Pasts

THE STORY: The Golden Globe-winning drama Green Book has endured a number of headline-dominating controversies since premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival. In November, Viggo Mortensen used the N-Word during a panel. Then, in an interview with Shadow & Act, the family of Don Shirley, played by Mahershala Ali in the film, flatly denied the story of friendship between the pianist and his Italian driver. And then there’s the plot itself, which has been condemned for its ‘white saviour’ narrative by critics.

This week, on the heels of Green Book’s big Golden Globes win, the drama heightened. Newspaper articles from the 1990s resurfaced calling attention to director Peter Farrelly’s past sexual misconduct. (Apparently, he had a habit of flashing his penis at unsuspecting people. This is what he considered a “joke.”) Meanwhile, an old tweet from the film’s producer and co-writer, Nick Vallelonga, revealed that in 2015 he supported Donald Trump’s false claim that in New Jersey “thousands of people were cheering” during 9/11.

THE REACTION:

Nick Vallelonga wrote Green Book. My industry just gave him a Golden Globe for writing. This remains on his timeline.

Mahershala Ali is a Muslim, and a beautiful, generous and kind man.

This is all just too disgusting. pic.twitter.com/LYVbpFZFUL

— Jordan Horowitz (@jehorowitz) January 10, 2019

somehow Peter Farrelly's on-set dick-flashing is the SECOND worst thing we discovered today about the dudes who made GREEN BOOK https://t.co/livWKkKJd9

— priscilla page (@BBW_BFF) January 10, 2019

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: I haven’t watched Green Book yet, and to be honest, I’ll probably still try to see it. The movie might be a flattened, feel-good story of race in 1960s America, but after all of the accolades it’s received, I’d at least like to judge it for myself. My viewing, however, will be strongly influenced by the allegations of fabrication from Shirley’s family, and the criticisms of the film that I’ve read.

As for Farrelly and Vallelonga: it’s not that hard to keep your genitals in your pants, and your racist opinions to yourself. There have, at least, been seemingly sincere and quick apologies from both parties — as well as from Participant Media, a company founded on the premise of making movies with socially relevant themes, and the producers behind Green Book. Here’s hoping that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences isn’t quick to forgive, and doesn’t hesitate before skipping right over both of their names.

Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty Valentine’s Day Collection is Released

THE STORY: In response to Rihanna’s recently launched Savage x Fenty’s Valentine’s Day collection, Twitter user Alysse Dalessandro screen-capped two product images to bring attention to the drastic design differences between the line’s straight and plus-size lingerie.

THE REACTION:

Ok, what’s with the poses? Plus has arms crossed over stomach?! Whyyyyyy

— New Year, Same Margot 🌙 (@MargotMeanie) January 10, 2019

Straight size vs. Plus size lol. I think all are cute and I appreciate the extended sizes but these are two veryyyy different types of sexy being sold pic.twitter.com/PBe1i9G4WN

— Maritime Pixie Dream Girl (@jillmacintyre) January 10, 2019

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: Savage x Fenty has been lauded as an inclusive, diverse celebration of womanhood. “Lingerie is not just about exploiting the female body, it’s about celebrating it and that’s what Savage x is all about,” Rihanna told Vogue. And when you compare the brand to the likes of Victoria’s Secret, it is clear that they are making strides in the industry.

That said, I can understand how the noticeable changes in design — even if they’re made with the consumers’ best interests in mind — might mislead people to believe that different sizes are suited to different definitions of “sexy.” There is always going to be space to listen to your customers, make change, and improve your product.
