A Letter of Perspective

A Letter of Perspective

My blog today was inspired by Ruth Graham Lutz’s (Billy Graham’s daughter) letter that I received on Friday. I didn’t follow the news about the devastation left in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. But this letter opened my eyes and heart, and I hope it does yours too.I know the damages realized from tornadoes, but not from a hurricane. I do know recovery can take a very long time. I pray for…

Maiar in 'The Lady of Ithilien'

(to be updated with new information as the story progresses. As such, things may change)

Eönwë

Herald and banner-bearer of Manwë, the High King of Arda. He's among the most powerful Maiar in Valinor and the mightiest in arms. Military leader and High Commander of the Host of the Valar, he was one of the key fighters during the War of Wrath, which marked the end of the First Age of the Sun.

Birth: he entered Arda shortly after it was created.

Married to Elenna of the House of Húrin.

Fancast: Daniel Sharman

Ilmarë

Eönwë's younger sister and handmaiden of Varda, Queen of the Valar and Manwë's wife. Along with her brother, she's one of the chiefs of the Maiar.

Birth: she entered Arda shortly after it was created.

Eventually married to Eldarion, Crown Prince of Gondor and Arnor.

Fancast: Matilda Lutz

Olórin

Also known as Gandalf (one of his many aliases), he has served several Valar throughout the various ages of Arda. He's mainly associated with Manwë and Varda, but he also served Nienna, Valië of sorrow and compassion and Irmo, Vala of dreams and visions. (Olórin is a Quenya name and its meaning is something along the lines of "dream of mind")

Birth: he entered Arda shortly after it was created.

Fancast: Sir Ian McKellen (as Gandalf during the War of the Ring. He sticks to this form for a little while longer before switching back to his usual one); Bradley James (as Olórin)

(they give the same vibe tbh)

Wilwarin

Maia serving Irmo and occasionally Nienna. She's had a major crush on Olórin ever since she met him. She's not the sharpest tool in the box (sorry girl, I still love you), but she's kind-hearted and keeps to herself because no one wants to befriend her due to her perceived stupidity. SHE NEEDS LOVE AND AFFECTION, which no one has ever given her because most Maiar are stuck up and arrogant. Extremely naïve and completely clueless at times, she's been nicknamed "Wilya" (meaning airhead) by her fellow Maiar. She's obsessed with Olórin because he's the only one who's ever actually interacted with her.

Birth: She entered Arda at the beginning of the Second Age of the Sun, following the War of Wrath.

Fancast: Tuğba Melis Türk

Isilmë

Maia of Vayanna. Considered among the most beautiful Maiarin women to ever enter Arda, she has been obsessed with Eönwë ever since she first saw him. They had a brief fling following the War of Wrath, which, needless to say, ended very quickly (and badly). She's firmly convinced he's still in love with her and will do anything to get him back. Her name is Quenya for "moonlight".

Birth: she entered Arda following the War of Wrath (around the same time as Wilwarin)

Fancast: Beste Kökdemir

Isilya

Maia of Yavanna. She's Isilmë's close friend (or so she believes). She fails to realize Isilmë doesn't really love her or value their friendship, but simply uses her for her own purposes. She blindly follows her "friend" and indistinctly agrees with everything the latter says or does, as she's been brainwashed into thinking she's perfect. She doesn't seem to have a mind of her own, modeling her own behavior after Isilmë, as she's afraid to lose the connection they share. She's petty and very annoying, but not inherently evil and might even redeem herself eventually. Who knows. Her name is Quenya for "the third day of the week" according to the Númenórean calendar.

(It might sound odd, but I picked the name purely because it sounds similar to Isilmë and because I like the sound of it, not necessarily because I had a specific idea. I'm terrible at naming characters, I know. Please don't be mean)

Birth: she entered Arda following the War of Wrath.

Fancast: Dilara Aksüyek

Elenna's household

Four Maiarin ladies enter her service after her marriage to the Herald.

Handalimë

Originally a Maia of Vána, she is thoughtful, level-headed, smart and highly practical. Elenna is entrusted to her and she quickly grows fond of her new lady, becoming one of her most trusted servants and her main confidante. She's usually calm and collected and makes it her mission to protect her lady from anyone who might wish her harm—namely her sister Isilmë and a few of the Noldorin elves— and constantly worries about her. Her lady's well-being is her utmost priority.

Birth: she entered Arda sometime before the end of the First Age.

Fancast: Gülcan Arslan

Narael

A Maia of Aulë, she's spunky and crafty but also naive and shy. She loves making rings and necklaces and will be gifting many jewels to her new lady. She can often be found chatting with Gimli, as she's never seen a dwarf before and wants to know all about dwarf customs and traditions (for fairly obvious reasons, I'd say). Kind-hearted and wiser than she lets on, she loves sitting by fireplaces (and lighting them).

Birth: she entered Arda at the beginning of the Third Age.

Fancast: Sophie Turner

Aranwen

A Maia of Nessa, she loves dancing, nature and poetry. She's not a great conversationalist, but when she does speak, one had better stop and listen. She loves reading and will spend many hours discussing books and history with her lady. She enjoys needlework and she's quite a good painter as well. She respects Elena greatly and often reassures her. Even though they get on each other's nerves quite often, she's great friends with Naráel. She too will spend a bit of time with Gimli, but only to try and convince him that ripping down trees is inherently bad. Nevertheless, she grows fond of the lord of the Glittering Caves- she and Legolas will try and teach him how to dance. Whether they will succeed is still unknown.

Birth: she entered Arda at the beginning of the Third Age.

Fancast: Rose Williams

Elenya

Maia of Varda (the name is kind of a giveaway).

She's sweet, kind and very protective of Elenna. She often likes to remark how similar their names are and loves to recount stories that most have forgotten (star-related, of course). She was lady-in-waiting to Ilmarë before she volunteered to join Elenna's household.

Birth: she entered Arda during the Years of the Trees.

Fancast: Yasemin Allen

——

Episode Lists:

1.World Finest Pt. 1:

————

End Credits/ Director Notes:

Filming for the series would take place in Liverpool U.K. or London for Metropolis and Washington D.C. would be CGI for the first few scenes for Wonder Woman.

In this Universe the team of Young Justice is hinted at but is not formed until later in the timeline.

Superman and Batman have already met in this universe. Superman as of the first 5 seasons of the Batman Tv series hadn’t physically appeared and won’t until Season 6. Even though the events of season 1 the JL series takes place in the past.

Wally and Dick met sometime after the later became Robin.

Black Canary has already met Batgirl and Batman in Gotham before she moved to Starling City.

Much like Batman in most versions Wonder Woman has rarely been seen in person and not much photons exist of her.

Most of this season takes place in Metropolis.

I have nothing to reply to involving John, Tanner, Robin, Nessa or JJ as far as I can tell. That being said: JJ is still only in the mood for twink x hunk (the Zane Phillip, Kellan Lutz, Tyler Hoechlin vibe) or twink x old guy (Ian Bo*en, Cavill, Evans, IDK) dynamics..The rest are open for anything, although if you give me the exes for Robin i would appreciate it lots. Reminder that to knwo the characters / have access to the bios you should join my discord because the doc is obselete and i am no longer posting bios directly here as i am t ired of the copycats. Good morning and have a good day.

223) Column 88 (Kolumna 88) - neonazistowska organizacja paramilitarna z siedzibą w Wielkiej Brytanii. Powstała na początku lat 70., a rozwiązała się na początku lat 80. Członkowie Kolumny 88 odbywali szkolenie wojskowe pod okiem byłego Komandosa Królewskiej Piechoty Morskiej, a także organizowali regularne spotkania, w których uczestniczyli neonaziści z całej Europy. Nazwa to kod: ósma litera alfabetu „HH” reprezentuje nazistowskie pozdrowienie „Heil Hitler”. Dziennikarz Martin Walker opisał Kolumnę 88 jako „paramilitarną nazistowską grupę cieni”. Tajna nazistowska grupa podziemna, której początki Kolumny 88 podano już w 1945 roku. Rzeczywiście, Gerry Gable twierdził, że Colin Jordan został zaprzysiężony jako członek tego tajnego stowarzyszenia jako dziewiętnastolatek. Według historyka Richarda Thurlowa, Kolumna 88 wzięła swoją nazwę od grupy Austriaków, którzy utworzyli podziemną grupę o tej nazwie w 1934 roku, kiedy rząd austriacki zdelegalizował partię nazistowską. Otwarta działalność rozpoczęła się jednak dopiero w 1970 r., kiedy przejęła kontrolę nad elementami Grupy Narodowo-Socjalistycznej, tajnego ugrupowania paramilitarnego związanego z Ruchem Brytyjskim. Założycielami tej bardziej zorganizowanej grupy byli zwolennicy Colina Jordana, który rozczarował się swoim byłym przywódcą po tym, jak zaczął moderować swoje publiczne wypowiedzi w następstwie ustaw o stosunkach rasowych z 1965 i 1968 r. Jedną z ich głównych krytyki Jordana była jego decyzja dwa lata wcześniej o rozwiązaniu Ruchu Narodowo-Socjalistycznego w celu ustanowienia Ruchu Brytyjskiego, co zinterpretowali jako odwrót od nazizmu. Według jednego z raportów, „Kolumna 88 była połączona z sieciami Gladio. Sieci te zostały utworzone po drugiej wojnie światowej, przy wsparciu Centralnej Agencji Wywiadowczej Stanów Zjednoczonych, przez szereg mocarstw, zarówno w NATO, jak i poza nim, jako anty-komunistyczne ciała oporu”. Według innego raportu, major Ian Souter Clarence, były oficer sił specjalnych, „pomógł założyć kolumnę 88 w latach 60. XX wieku jako brytyjską sekcję Gladio”. Dowódcą wojskowym grupy był major Ian Souter Clarence, który służył w Black Watch podczas drugiej wojny światowej, zanim stał się zwolennikiem Arnolda Leese. Historie o tym, jak gromadził broń, były znane MI5 już od 1946 roku. Zorganizował szereg obozów, aby zapewnić szkolenie bojowe członkom Kolumny 88. Jeden z takich obozów, zorganizowany w listopadzie 1975 roku we współpracy z League of St George  w Birmingham. Ogólnym liderem był jednak Leslie Eric Lutz Vaughan, weteran Brytyjskiej Partii Narodowej i jej paramilitarnego skrzydła Spearhead. Według Raya Hilla, Vaughan był blisko Anthony'ego Reeda Herberta w celach zawodowych (Herbert był prawnikiem, a Vaughan prywatnym detektywem), a praca, którą Vaughan postawił na drodze Herberta, zapewniła, że Kolumna 88 odegrała wiodącą rolę w Brytyjskiej Partii Demokratycznej Herberta. Rzeczywiście, po raporcie World in Action z 1981 r. szczegółowo opisującym próby przemycenia broni przez Vaughana przez Brytyjską Partię Demokratyczną, a Kolumna 88 została tymczasowo zawieszona z obawy przed zamieszaniem. Inni czołowi członkowie to Joe Short, który był zaangażowany w Ruch Narodowo-Demokratycznej Wolności Davida Myatta, Graham Gillmore, najemnik i członek NF oraz David Myatt. Członkowie innych, bardziej otwartych skrajnie prawicowych ruchów byli rekrutowani w szeregi Kolumny 88, przy czym członkostwo było ograniczone do tych postrzeganych jako najbardziej ekstremalne. Rzeczywiście, A. K. Chesterton, który założył Front Narodowy, napisał w jednym ze swoich ostatnich listów do Johna Tyndalla, wyrażając swoje obawy, że członkowie NF angażują się w Kolumnę 88. Pod koniec lat 70. organizacja rzekomo przeprowadziła kilka ataków bombowych na lewicowe organizacje brytyjskie, w tym Socjalistyczną Partię Robotniczą, Ligę Antynazistowską i lewicową księgarnię Housmans, gdzie pacyfistyczny i antyrasistowski magazyn Peace News był publikowany. Wielu podejrzewało, że ta grupa stała za atakiem podpalenia, który zniszczył imperium Albany w Deptford w południowym Londynie w lipcu 1978 roku podczas kampanii Rock Against Racism. Inne ataki bombowe, o których donoszono, że zostały przeprowadzone, obejmowały ataki na cele tak różne, jak domy członków Partii Konserwatywnej i wieże transmisyjne, podczas gdy grupa twierdziła również, że dokonała serii podpaleń przedsiębiorstw należących do Żydów. Kolumna 88 po raz pierwszy zwróciła uwagę opinii publicznej w 1975 r., kiedy regionalna brytyjska gazeta Western Daily Press opublikowała relacje ze szkolenia członków Kolumny 88 w Savernake Forest w Wiltshire z elementami Armii Terytorialnej. Doprowadziło to do zadania pytania przez członka parlamentu w Izbie Gmin  oraz do innych raportów w brytyjskich gazetach, takich jak The Guardian. Brytyjski antyfaszystowski magazyn Searchlight również opublikował artykuły o Kolumnie 88 w maju 1975 i maju 1976. Infiltracja Sił Kadetów Armii była również zorganizowana przez Kolumnę 88. Mówiono również, że Kolumna 88 była zaangażowana w tworzenie wielu innych skrajnie prawicowych grup, w tym ekskluzywnej Ligi św. Jerzego i Partii Narodowej. Lider Partii Narodowej, John Kingsley Read, twierdził, że otrzymywał fundusze z Kolumny 88 zarówno dla własnej partii, jak i w czasie, gdy był przewodniczącym Frontu Narodowego. W 1983 r. Kolumna 88 ponownie trafiła na pierwsze strony gazet, gdy prasa doniosła, że Clarence „przechowywał” trzech niemieckich neonazistowskich terrorystów: Odfrieda Heppa, Ulricha Tillmanna i Waltera Kexela, którzy byli poszukiwani za ataki bombowe na bazy armii amerykańskiej w Niemczech.

I've had a really great weekend and finally getting to meet some TVD/TO cast has been soo good. Also met Kellan Lutz as well. Got some selfies, which I'll post up today's selfies (Sebastian Roche and Kellan Lutz) tomorrow probably. I would definitely love to meet Riley, Nathaniel, and Paul again, also wouldn't mind meeting Sebastian Roche and getting a proper photoshoot done with him.

But Daniel Gillies is still high on my list of people to meet. Would also love to meet Michael Malarkey, Claire Holt, Nina Dobrev, and Candice King. Didn't meet Ian this time, but wouldn't mind meeting him as well. Ooh and Joseph Morgan, and also Caspar who plays Finn.

Twilight (Catherine Hardwicke, 2008)

Cast: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Billy Burke, Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Anna Kendrick, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Cam Gigandet, Gil Birmingham, Justin Chon, Christian Serratos. Screenplay: Melissa Rosenberg, based on a novel by Stephenie Meyer. Cinematography: Elliot Davis. Art direction: Christopher Brown, Ian Phillips. Film editing: Nancy Richardson. Music: Carter Burwell. 

Twilight was always going to be critic-proof, based as it is on a best-selling YA novel and featuring good-looking actors playing teenage lovers, one of whom is a vampire. The audience was ready-made, no matter what the critics said, and they mostly said their worst about it. And yet, getting around to watching it for the first time, 14 years late, I can't find it in myself to say anything terribly harsh about it. The dialogue is often clunky, oh my, yes. The idea that vampires sparkle and not burst into flame in the sunlight is silly, as is the notion that they are somehow randomly endowed with superpowers: Some have super-strength and can read minds, others can tell the future. The invocation of Native American legends is a slightly racist plot gimmick, and one not developed in the film. It would be in the sequels, of course, which means Twilight is just a setup for more to come, and not a satisfactory movie on its own. And yet I watched with amusement and not a whole lot of condescension, partly because it's premised on an interesting subtext, adolescent sexual confusion -- vampire movies are always really more about sex than about death. And because Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were on the brink of significant careers, going on to prove that they were more capable actors than the screenplay of Twilight allowed them to show.

VOTD: “The Box” - Roddy Ricch

Way back in December 2019 a rapper by the name of Roddy Ricch released “The Box” premiering at number 47 on the Billboard charts. The single did what singles are supposed to do, it thrust Ricch into the spotlight. The song reached number-one four weeks later and held that position for several weeks. With the release of his third album Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial we also were given the awaited music video for “The Box”. Both the album and video were released on February 28, 2020. As Roddy Ricch’s fame rose so did the expectations and this video lives up to the glitz and glamor the spotlight expects.

The video starts with a car race, which is alluded to in the song with the lyrics “Pulling out the coupe”. Ricch races and races through the streets of a nondescript city (presumably LA, Ricch is from Compton) as he gives the viewer a very Fast and Furious meets car commercial vibe. The video continues on the trend of depicting what Ricch is rapping about. “I just put my whole arm in the rim Vince Carter” cue Ricch hanging off a basketball hoops rim. “I’m a 2020 president candidate” he raps from the presidential podium with the White House emblem behind him, signifying that Roddy Ricch has won the election, due to his clear popularity. 

Overall, this is a classic rap video: money, cars, and girls. Roddy Ricch’s imagery directly plays off his lyrics for most of the song with the high-quality production tying it all together. The video ends with an excellent bit of imagery of Ricch being literally in “The Box” and I encourage you to check it out for yourself.
