Prohibition in Oregon
Prohibition features prominently into the story of beer in Oregon, but also into the story of statehood. Conversations about banning alcohol actually pre-date statehood, but when the Oregon's Woman's Christian Temperance Union held its first meeting in 1883 at a Methodist church a few blocks from Weinhard's brewery, the so-called "Bonnet Brigade" became an unstoppable political force.
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Philomath, Oregon, August 1910.
There were local options throughout the state, which allowed a city or country to ban alcohol sales and consumption, but Gov. Oswald West signed an executive order in 1914 announcing statewide alcohol prohibition following a ballot initiative.
Five years before the national ban on the sale and production of alcohol, Oregon went dry.
Alcohol consumption and home production certainly occurred during Prohibition; growing hops and buying malt syrups wasn't illegal, and making beer was relatively easy. But for larger facilities and well-established businesses, they needed to pivot in operations. Stockholders in Roseburg considered building a cannery to replace the Roseburg Brewing and Ice Company, and breweries in La Grande and Klamath Falls investigated converting those facilities to denatured alcohol plants. Articles in local papers shared stories of sour kraut made in kegs, candy stores replacing saloons, a beautiful clothing dye made from yeast found in a Japanese brewery, and the promise of growing mushrooms in breweries under disused equipment.
The Salem Brewers Association is an excellent example of how breweries actually survived without growing mushrooms or dying clothing. The company began as the Pacific Brewery in 1866; founder Samuel Adolph sold $1 kegs from the brewery and advertised making lager beer for the thirteen saloons in town! The brewery burned in 1869, when it moved to another location and was renamed the Salem Brewery. In 1885, the business was sold to Maurice Klinger and Seraphin Beck, who renamed it the Capital Brewery and built an expanded facility with an attached saloon. By 1890, they had a large ice facility. Beck died in 1900, and his wife, Marguerite Beck, took over management of the business in 1901 when Klinger retied. The business was successful and well-advertised; she sold 24 bottles for $2.30, certainly more than the $1 keg in 1866. In 1903, she sold to Leopold Schmidt, who owned the Olympia Brewing Company, and the brewery was renamed Salem Brewery Association. In 1910, the plant was enlarged to include four-story building where they used a reported one million pounds of hops per year to produce “Salem Beer.”
When Prohibition came to Oregon, the Salem Brewers Association pivoted and used their equipment and bottling lines to make juice. Leopold Schmidt owned breweries in Olympia, Salem, and Bellingham, and he partnered with Northwest Fruit Products in Salem to bottle Loju, a loganberry juice. They became the Phez Company in 1919 and sold many unfermented fruit juices.
During this same time, the Henry Weinhard Brewery “unbranded” as a brewery to a company that sold vinegar and ice, as well as soda supplies and soft drinks (Appo, Luxo, Tako) under the label Weinhard's Puritan Brand Sodas. In 1933, after Prohibition was repealed, the Salem Brewers Association reopened and made Salem Beer again. The following year the company was sold to Emil G. Sick, who owned Sicks’ Seattle Brewing Company. They produced 100,000 barrels per year of popular beers like Sicks’ Select, Brew 66, and Brown Derby. The brewery closed in 1953.
Prohibition was repealed in 1933, and ironically that was the same period Oregon led the world in hop production, with more than 34,000 acres in production. Despite Prohibition and the Great Depression, Oregon’s hop production made steady gains after World War I due to new acreage planted and the impact of war on European agriculture. From 1922-1943, Oregon was the nation's largest producer, and in the 1930s the area around Independence was called the “Hop Center of the World.”
The only brewery businesses left after Prohibition were the Blitz-Weinhard Company (the brewery activities of the Weinhard company were merged with the Portland Brewing Company in 1928), Sicks’ Brewing Company in Salem, and Julius Roesch’s City Brewery in Pendleton. When it came to post-Prohibition beer, the public gravitated to lighter lagers and there wasn’t much “local” adventure to be found in the beer aisle of the supermarket. In Oregon, Lucky, Olympia and Rainier were the closest thing drinkers could get to locally brewed creations. Post-prohibition also saw buyouts and a general consolidation of the industry.

Cork History |Beamish and Crawford Brewery
by Michael Lenihan
Image 1. The facade of Beamish and Crawford’s Counting House. Courtesy Michael Lenihan.
An early deed of 1667 refers to a George Sym’s who had lately purchased a dwelling house, malt house and a brew house in the city of Cork. The brew house was located in the parish of the Holy Trinity and was located near the South Gate Bridge. This is probably one of the earliest brewing references to the site of the Beamish & Crawford Brewery. It is believed that the history of brewing on this site could date back to the 1500s. The title deeds of Beamish and Crawford date to 1792, but they refer to Allen’s Brewery which existed on the South Main Street site in 1715. The Allen’s were very influential merchants in Cork, and John Allen is recorded as Mayor of the city in 1713. The family also had the distinction of having Allen’s Lane named after them, this was eventually incorporated within the Beamish and Crawford site.
William Beamish and William Crawford were Cork merchants and they made their money by importing beer into Cork from the London breweries. Tradition has it that having placed a large order with a London brewery, bad weather interrupted their supply. This left the thirsty natives of Cork without their favourite tipple, so they decided to purchase their own brewery and have a supply right on their doorstep. In 1791, Edward Allen had died, and his property was put up for sale. Allen had been the owner of the city’s largest brewery producing some 13,000 gallons per year. Beamish and Crawford purchased this ready-made brewery and began trading as the Cork Porter Brewery. As time went by the brewery was enlarged and modernised and, in the early 1830s, it had the distinction of being the largest brewery in Ireland.
The two partners concentrated on the provincial markets, unlike Guinness who had a huge export market. But Father Mathew’s Temperance campaign of the 1840s had a devastating effect on the drinks market. The number of small local breweries in the city had been decimated, reduced from eighteen to six. In its heyday, the brewery accounted for the payment of 12½ per cent of the city’s rates, an enormous sum. By the late 1850s, the brewery had bought out some of the remaining smaller concerns. This strategy combined with the purchase of tied houses namely pubs which sold only their products strengthened its position. By 1860, the Beamish and Crawford site covered an area of five acres. Fortunately, for Beamish and Crawford, the Guinness brewery had concentrated on the export trade leaving them to their own devices.

Arnott’s brewery was purchased by Murphy’s in 1901 and it was closed shortly afterwards increasing their tied house share by about one hundred and fifty public houses. Beamish and Crawford were not slow to react; they purchased their close competitor Lane’s Brewery, (est. 1758), on the South Main Street acquiring their tied houses. At this time both breweries had the monopoly of the city trade, accounting for about one half each. It was quite ironic that with the 2008 takeover of Scottish & Newcastle, the brewery passed into the hands of its main Cork-based rival Heineken International. In December 2008, it was announced that the Beamish and Crawford brewery was to close in 29 March 2009 with the loss of 120 jobs. Sadly, 217 years of a Cork brewing tradition had come to an end. Fortunately, Beamish stout is still brewed in Cork today albeit at the home of its former rival Murphy’s now Heineken Ireland, Leitrim Street.

Bodybuilding: stone or paper
BodybuAlthough in our days the term bodybuilding is not usually associated with classical Greece, its pioneers sought to resemble Pericles' time-carved canons. Something happened, throughout the 20th century, with the aesthetic aspirations of bodybuilders; something that does not seem far-fetched to relate, to some extent, with the Marvel superheroes and their influence on the iconography of our time. Ronnie Coleman, that's for sure, has little or nothing to do with the muscle great-great-grandfather's dream. A current that is said to be natural and healthy is becoming more visible in bodybuilding, and perhaps endangered, then, the muscle of steroid shake and erythropoietin flag; Perhaps the goal is no longer to become a huge popcorn of perfect symmetry and what is brewing, in the bowels of gyms, is a return to the times of Sandow . Azithromycin The strong PrussianEugen Sandow, a nineteenth-century bodybuilding pioneer , got dazed by the idea of reincarnating in Greek marble and came out, in 1894, showing the result of his effort in a short film filmed by Edison Studios. Eugen, whose real and Prussian name was Friedrich Wilhelm Müller , came to conquer a solid fame and friendship with George V of England himself, whom he instructed in the principles of physical culture.Sandow is credited with organizing the first major bodybuilding contest known, the finale of which, advertised as The Great Competition , took place at the Royal Albert Hall in 1901, with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as one of the judges. Only the proportion and harmony of the bodies were sought there. They were different times. They were other muscles and other pharmaceutical laboratories.From the museum to the kioskA long time later, Yukio Mishima , arguably the most cultured bodybuilder to ever set foot on earth, would lament Japan's lack of an uplifting tradition of body beauty. As he explained in Spiritual Lessons for Young Samurai , Buddhism always despised the material portion of men, and the rising sun civilization had to settle in the absence of Apollo and Venus. Mishima would make a personal synthesis of East and West in his thought and in his own flesh, carved with iron training until it became something beautiful to destroy. The fate of Yukio's abs, you see, was to end up cracked by a katana, watching intestines come out in a bloody mess. Things of poetry.Old Europe was, however, built on Greco-Latin heritage and its fascination with the nude figure; an inheritance that Sandow made to recover, symbolically, in the first year of the 20th century. But as time went by, the ideals of bodybuilding drifted away from the stony proportions at the same speed as they got closer to the Marvel comics. The long road from Polycletos to Jack Kirby was traveled by the men who lifted weights and then measured themselves by parts; a path of dubious return, in which Alan P. Mead , Jack Delinger , Charles Atlas , Steve Reeves , Arnold Schwarzenegger andRonnie Coleman ; dorsal and quadriceps swelling a little more each year, each contraction, each supplement.And then there was the question of the intellect. The ancient aspiration catered to Juvenal's adage about mens sana , and one of the inspiring figures of early bodybuilding had been the remote Milon of Croton , champion of wrestling at Olympia, bull-lifter and disciple of Pythagoras . Even during the time of the strong Sandow, a future Nobel laureate spent his youth dedicated to muscle development in a Zaragoza gym. Santiago Ramón y Cajal thus achieved an impressive physique to join his medical wisdom and to use in his street fights, and he would always defend the benefits of forced gymnastics.But such pluperfect unions seemed, also, to be outside the intentions of bodybuilding in a late twentieth century. The bodybuilder had changed into another type of being: a jumble of hormones and steroids in constant struggle for gigantism. That appeared to be all. As in the best families, of the grandparents' postulates, rooted in the classical world, it was neither known nor wanted to know. It had covered the disgraceful stretch between the exellent Milon of Croton and the tacky bowling alley anabolized like a gorrino. And at that point of the trip we were.The necessary rarityAbandoning pill technology now would entail the extinction of a species. One so resounding and proper in heroic and superheroic cinema that it has probably earned its necessity: the current viewer would not accept a Samson as deflated as the Victor Mature that Hedy Lamarr coaxed in 1949. Now Samson must be Samson, and Thor must to be Thor, and narrative rigor requires respecting the size of the biceps when they are a character trait.The confluence of muscle exhibitionism with the Marvel drawings was completed in the late 1970s with the television series The Incredible Hulk . A Bruce Banner incarnated an actor Bill Bixby , but the case was to give a convincing body Dough : Lou Ferrigno , with a track record on that of the bodybuilding , planted his nearly two meters pharmacopoeia colossal in each transformation: tattered shirt , Banner's miracle pants and a painfully seedy greenish wig. Then he just had to growl and make himself look strong and dangerous.However, few things more alien than the Hulk and a bodybuilder. The green monster was a destroying spawn, a carefree titan, and the purple pantacas, a vulgar addition for decorum. Bodybuilding, on the other hand, presents individuals of one hundred and twenty kilos treating themselves as if they were a new Lamborghini, erasing this speck here, removing that little hair there. Strictly aesthetic thing. The physical performance is neither expected nor outside standing in front of judges to cause eruptions of muscle groups. A bodybuilder is his own medicine-burnished stone statue and he keeps it all out.The extreme practitioner, that of biceps as boats turned upside down, is today placed in the moldy category of geek, as this is the time of public stigma in prime time . An eccentric old man is given another treatment, and thus the rarities of Ludwig II of Bavaria , who had a languid and fanciful fairy castle built, are respected and he pities as a dreamy and tortured soul.Perhaps, then, we would hold a certain reverence to men who three hundred years ago had tried to make their bodies enormous, enlarging their muscles until they were almost disjointed, ingesting potions; We would admire the drawings of the illustrators of the time, showing us the impossible centuries before John Buscema . Everything takes gravity and luster long enough, because, in our minds, the distant past is a distinguished place. A place free of polygon thugs.Accustomed to excess, we would find a world without pecs and absurd deltoids strange. We almost need your paranormal presence to congratulate us that people are able to do anything of themselves. That of the American dream . If there are those who want to make their lips pneumatic, they are the lips. If someone decides to tattoo a cat face on their own and sharpen their teeth, be tattoos and sharp ones. If what others want, in short, is a thigh of a meter seventy of perimeter, be the thigh. Let serratus be a mountain range and hamstrings be a mast of bloated meat.The rest of us will be at some distance, watching.ilding: stone or paper

Subtext
You've heard about it before. You've probably heard the famous line repeated over and over and over until you want to stab yourself in the ears with a spork:
"People don't often say to each other what they really mean.”
Bullshit.
I believe in action. Not boom-boom-explosion action, but actions taken by a character to get, or do, or not do, or get something from someone or something else, such as: ignoring them, being vague, lying, hiding, a type of look. If that is subtext, then I'm a strong believer in subtext, but that isn't subtext. Writers seems to confuse the two, and I never keep what I mean from someone else.
Writers put too much subtext emphasis into the mush pot, they think all the great novelist use it, therefore somehow in a magical way, if they use it in a scene or every scene, that that scene will burst alive with color, flavor and more power. Horseshit. I watch and read films from around the world and older than 1901, and I cannot tell you how little subtext plays a part in the visual medium of film compared to character actions.
I.e. What's the subtext in a silent film?
Can subtext bring a scene to a greater level? Possibly. But a point has to be made at some time, the point has to be given to the viewer, to the reader, to the audience, and most importantly, to the other character - otherwise, who are they talking to and what are they doing? You can confuse the very person you're trying to impress using subtext, and that is death.
You want to know how important subtext is and how well it works? Try to order a cup of coffee using subtext.
I've found that most people, writers particularly, when they talk about subtext they speak in terms of what's not being said, but when they analyze what's not being said and how, you realize that the character is just taking an action. Very rarely does the character or dialogue say yes when they mean no without later crumbling and confessing their lie (an action).
Real conversations, those that writers say you should emulate, the ones you have with other people... the only time you're saying things you don’t mean is when? When you don't want to hurt their feelings, or feel it's not any of their business, etc. But to not let them know you feel that way - you're hiding, avoiding, which are actions. You misdirect, you lie. Sometimes you'll even change the subject completely. That again, is not subtext, that is an action.
Subtext is also not the undercurrent of a scene: something brewing underneath and it's never talked about. That is evasion, which is an action. "They're not talking about the elephant in the room - what subtext." No, no. Fredo is not telling Michael anything because he has to keep the lie or he's dead, he's continuing to lie (action), and there is no subtext. You know he's a liar, and he's showing regret with simple, plain words that aren't subtext: "Why didn't we ever talk like this before?" That entire powerful scene is avoidance, and it’s all Fredo's.
Hemingway was the master of subtext: what the character is really saying by saying something else. No greater writer of it. But he wasn't working in a visual medium, either. He was a genius that knew sometimes his characters had to say something, anything to each other, therefore he'd have them say something they don’t want to say, and letting you, the reader, inject your tone and context of what the words meant. No two people will agree that a certain line of subtext means the same thing as the other. Often times his subtext was in the banter of nothing, which is where I believe that stupid quote at the beginning I gave you came from, and is said over and over again by people like a broken parrot. And ironically, there is no subtext in the quote.
Frankly, in my opinion, subtext is not as strong as action or even as powerful at conveying what's happening. Or, most importantly, showing what that character is feeling or doing to someone else. Subtext is in text, action is like inner conflict but in conscience, pragmatic movement.
I also think we as writers over estimate the power of subtext with the reader. Even with, scoff, "cliches" (which is another conversation). If the audience is interested, they don't give a shit about any of those things. The people who give a shit about those things are other writers. And no one cares what they think. How do I know? I am one. Bring me in on the 11th draft to rewrite, or as Ken Lonergan would say: "Bring me in to redestroy someone else's draft so they can fire me and then bring in someone else to destroy my draft." and the only people who give a shit about what I do, or even understand, are the other sad writers working on the material. The same goes for my own work. Only I care about it and I hope it’s interesting enough to resonate with someone.
Look, if subtext is important for your scene, by all means use it. But remember, that very same thing you're using to try and impress can confuse. Also, for every 1 movie you can name that has a scene with subtext, I can give you 50 that are just as good, if not better that do not have it and are all character actions - which show its importance overall and that you shouldn’t get hung up on it. If you want to read more into a line than is there, that's fine too. You can actually have any dialogue you want as long as the scene is clear, and everyone will go along. Subtext or pure silence (action) would work if your direction of the story is clear anyway - say whatever the hell you want.
As long as you simply think of subtext the same way a DP thinks of a prime 18mm, you're okay. It's another tool that shouldn't be over used and has its place. But no one is going to notice if you don't use it, and no one is going to think to themselves, "This scene needs more subtext to work" if it already works. Subtext is like garnishing prose, you can use those big adverbs, but do you really need to?

A Gotham Ghost Story - Part 2
A Gobblepot fanfic. Oswald Cobblepot shoots Jim Gordon on the pier. Unable to move on to the afterlife, Jim is doomed to haunt the infamous mobster. Tied to Earth but unable to live, Jim only wants to find peace in death. His path there might be bumpy. Read it on Ao3 here.
Thank you @mexican-texican for the beta <3!
In the year 1901, the physician Duncan McDougall tried to prove that human beings have a soul by weighing them in the exact moment of their death. The result of his experiment was that the human soul, and therefore a ghost, weighs approximately 21 grams.
The experiment had been highly unscientific and if Jim would have read about it while still being alive, he would probably have laughed it off. Given his numerous encounters with people like Dr. Strange, Jim should have been more serious about this particular piece of information but that’s just not the man he is. Which is odd, considering how many times Jim came close to death in his short life. He used to flirt with the idea of suicide, he threw himself into danger’s arms over and over again, he never valued himself all that much, especially in comparison to other people, and yet - he never gave death much thought.
Therefore, Jim doesn’t know he still consists of matter. He’s pure emotion morphed into the reflection of his mind and memories, an earthbound piece of recollections of moments gone. Somebody should have told him while he was still alive that ghosts get stuck on earth when they have unfinished business left, when there’s something keeping them from moving on, from dissolving and becoming one with the cosmos.
But then, if he would have known, what would that knowledge have changed? Jim would still have a debt to pay before becoming stardust. At least, he would have a vague idea of why he is still stuck. And armed with the knowledge that he consists of matter, he would probably soon figure out how to interact with his environment.
However, Jim knows nothing about being a ghost. He only knows he is confused and scared while observing Oswald in his living room. He wants to go home and read his daughter a bedtime story, he wants to fix her hair and prepare a sandwich for her like he does on their mornings together before dropping a kiss on Lee’s forehead and going to work. He wants to walk into the precinct and prepare his and Harvey’s coffee. He would watch Harvey looking around carefully before opening his flask and adding a good shot of Jack to his brew, still thinking no one knows.
It doesn’t matter how desperately Jim wants to do those things, he’s stuck in this house. He can think about his little girl all he wants, his mind isn’t moving through space like when he thought ‘Oswald’ back on the pier.
No, he has to stay and watch. Little tears are dripping soundlessly from Oswald’s long lashes. The gangster is trembling beneath his blankets, searching the warmth of the fire while doing so. He’s biting his nails, chewing them until he draws blood and yelps in his self-induced pain.
Jim almost feels sorry.
Jim almost always felt sorry. Back when they first met, behind Fish Mooney’s club, he felt sorry, too. Oswald was nothing but an exchangeable, meaningless snitch back then. A young, ambitious little wannabe-criminal with just the right amount of luck and intelligence to stay alive.
The moment Jim had seen him he knew exactly what he was dealing with: a frail kid looking for attention and power complete with a massive inferiority complex, someone who had been rejected so often he would literally do anything to belong; and where he wanted to belong, was the mob. They would provide him with power, they would enable him to strike fear into the hearts of his opponents. Jim saw it all, saw the hurt, scared child.
He saw something entirely else, too: a little manic gleam dancing merrily deep down in this child’s eyes gave the other part of his soul away. When Oswald’s club descended on the man lying before him in the gutter, he saw profound satisfaction. Every hit on the man’s body filled Oswald with greater joy, every drop of blood lifted his spirits higher. He reveled in the fact that he was inflicting pain, loved every second of it. The scream’s made him beat harder, his mouth curled into an impish smile, as he enjoyed his power over life and death.
To this day, Jim can still hear the sickening sound of bones cracking beneath a club, the helpless whimpers of the man. Oswald’s pace never faltered, he never felt an ounce of compassion. This had been a test for him to pass and he wasn’t intent on failing.
Therefore, the very first moment Jim met Oswald, he was instantly repulsed by and disgusted with him. No matter how many times they would get closer in the future, this very first moment would still hold Jim back and fill him with revulsion.
Even when the city would be in shambles one day, only held together by the Penguin’s iron grip, it would be their first encounter that would keep the cop from tripping and falling into the man’s waiting arms.
No matter how much good Oswald would do, he would always do it for selfish reasons, would only grant people safety and accommodation in exchange for power. Given, at one point, Jim had almost forgotten that. One night, Jim would see Oswald solely as a lonely man, struggling with the great responsibility bestowed on his shoulders. That night, Jim would forget what Oswald had done in the past and would continue to do in the future and just reach out for what little human emotion the villain had to offer, for that love that had always been reserved for him, and take it. This night feels like centuries ago, now.
The Penguin loves to inflict pain and Jim knew he would one day inflict this pain on him. Oswald would have never guessed how well he would accomplish this particular task, though.
And yet, Jim would have died for Oswald. In a sense, he did. Jim knew from the moment he put him behind bars, that the Penguin would seek revenge and would only find peace when killing him. That is just how Oswald works.
Oswald has finally fallen asleep. He looks peaceful like this, curled up in front of his fireplace, mouth hanging agape, drooling onto his shirt. Jim snorts when the gangster starts snoring softly. He may enjoy a night at his own home, but he'll be back in prison soon enough, Jim thinks. It’s just a matter of time before cops will come flooding through the doors, demolishing the antiques he’s so fond of in the process, and dragging him back into a dark hole for the murder of the Commissioner of Gotham.
Knowing Oswald will be back in Blackgate doesn’t fill Jim with satisfaction though, but with relief. He doesn’t want him to be locked up, doesn’t want him to be separated from the city they both love with all their heart, but needs must. This city needs protection, and Oswald, though he loathes to admit it, does too. He’d be safe in prison. And if Jim can’t protect him, Blackgate will.
Jim never wanted Oswald to be anything other than a law-abiding citizen. He avoided arresting him in the past deliberately until he had been given no other choice. Back when he brought Sofia to Gotham, he could just have taken him to Blackgate, too. With Harvey testifying to taking bribes from the Penguin, he would have had anything to get a warrant. That had never been Jim’s intention, though. He wanted him stripped of his powers, to be a normal human again. With his empire gone, he would have been just that: normal.
Jim doesn’t doubt that now that he’s out of prison again, nothing will stop him from becoming a master of life and death once more. Especially with Nygma back at his side, freshly released from Arkham and more insane than ever, nothing would be able to stop them. Not unless they both get killed - and that’s the last thing Jim wants.
Oswald mumbles something unintelligible in his sleep and Jim puts a consoling hand on his arm. There’s nobody here to witness him anyway, considering he’s invisible. The cop sighs when the criminal shivers. Pulling up his blanket, he turns over and Jim shakes his head.
His feelings towards Oswald have always been conflicted and now that he’s dead, he should probably be pretty enraged Penguin finally pulled the trigger. The truth is, he mostly feels sad. He will not be there to watch his daughter grow up, to guide her and be a parent. He knows what lies before her, has lost his own father at a very young age, too.
And Oswald will have nobody to protect him. Sitting down, Jim tries closing his eyes, but to no avail. He’s still perceiving his surroundings, still watching the fire and the mobster from the corner of his eye. As he’s dead already, there’s no way for his mind to shut down, to get any kind of rest. Jim wonders if that will continue for all of eternity. Penguin would probably be thrilled if he knew about this kind of torment. Or he’d say it serves him right - for Arkham.
Heaving a sigh, Jim tries focusing on the fire instead. Arkham is definitely something he doesn’t want to think about right now. Or not ever. The moment he not only deserted Oswald but left him to being tortured still fills him with shame. It shouldn’t be an excuse, but when Jim went as far as killing a man for the gangster, he needed him out of his life, whatever the price.
The grandfather clock in the corner ticks terribly loud, giving Jim something else to focus on than his past. He wills himself to count the seconds, listens to every creak of the old house and prays to forget. Should he forever be trapped in this state of consciously being able to observe but not to react? Is that his punishment for all the wrongs he did?
Getting up impatiently, he finally decides to leave the room. He might be dead, he might be a ghost, but he can still think and move. Heck, he’s in Gotham! There must be a way for him to make himself noticed and then he’ll just have to find someone like Strange or Freeze and he’ll come back to life like Jerome or Galavan. It’s no big deal, he tries telling himself. In a city like this, death is nothing but a passing inconvenience, right?
Turning on his heel, he starts walking toward the door with newfound determination. He’s a ghost, so solid surfaces shouldn’t be a problem, right? He might not be able to move his mind through space at a whim but he can take the traditional way and walk out, right?
The answer is, no. No, Jim can’t leave. He doesn’t know that yet, though. He’s unable to leave any room Oswald isn’t currently occupying. The only thing he can do, though, is get back underwater and watch his corpse slowly decay, but that thought doesn’t occur to him.
Jim walks into the solid surface and just like a regular person, he’s incapable of walking on through. He tries touching the doorknob, tries grasping it, but his hand moves right through the metal. Not one to give up quickly, he keeps trying, focuses, tries concentrating on the surface in hopes the power of his mind would move anything . Maybe it would have worked if Jim had been a telepath during his lifetime, but he wasn’t and the matter isn’t willing to bend to his will.
At least not until someone finally opens the door for him. His excitement doesn’t last though, even with the door fully open, he’s unable to step outside, to walk away and seek freedom. Thin air is a solid wall for Jim and his panic flares again. He’s so overwhelmed by dread he doesn’t even notice it’s Edward Nygma who opened the door, currently strolling into the room, a huge grin plastered all over his face.
Jim just wants to get out, reaches out, moves, but doesn’t accomplish anything. When he turns around, he can walk around, sit down, get his limbs to cooperate, but not when trying to escape. He literally howls in his agony, pushes against the invisible boundaries that hold him back, even scratches the air in his sorrow, but it’s no use.
“Jim Gordon,” Edward says, catching the Commissioner’s attention effectively. Jim stops his useless, frantic movements. He turns around in awe. Could it be possible? Can the Riddler see him?
“Jim Gordon is missing,” he announces gleefully, back turned toward Jim. Once the cop stops struggling, he’s being pulled back at Oswald’s side and Jim growls. He wants to go! But he has no choice but to observe the mobster slowly fighting his way back to consciousness.
“Hmm?” he mumbles not all too eloquently.
“I said Gordon’s missing,” Ed repeats, rolling his eyes affectionately at the other man. “Shift,” he orders then, making himself shamelessly comfortable beside him.
“And why would I care about that?” Oswald snaps back indignantly, once he’s composed enough to answer with anything else than monosyllables.
Ed stares at him incredulously for a moment before clicking his tongue and chuckling. “Maybe because he robbed us both of a decade of our lives while living his dream of white picket fences complete with a kid and a trophy type wife at his side?”
The Penguin narrows his eyes at the man in the green suit. “Still a tad bitter she rejected you?” he asks icily.
“No, I stabbed her,” he answers flatly. “We’re even,” he adds without any emotion.
Oswald studies him intently before nodding, seemingly satisfied.
“I thought the possibility of Gordon being in a dark cellar and maybe getting tortured would lift your spirits,” Ed remarks, scooting closer to his partner in crime.
“I’ve been sleeping,” he grouses in response.
Taken aback, the Riddler leans away. Looking the Penguin up and down, he tries making up his mind. Cocking his head, he clicks his tongue against his teeth. “I’m an ocean but I fit onto the tip of a finger. What am I?” he asks.
“Ed, I’m really not in the mood…”
“No,” he interjects. “You’ve been crying!” he accuses. “What do you know?” Ed presses.
“Nothing,” Oswald grumbles unconvincingly while pulling the blanket tightly around his shoulders. “It’s awfully cold in here,” he complains in an attempt to change the subject.
Narrowing his eyes at the gangster, Ed tries assessing the situation. “If they soon find a body it better not be associated with us,” he admonishes with a stern glare.
Huffing, Oswald curls up on the sofa again. “Since when are you afraid of your moronic former colleagues?” he demands to know.
“Since they threw me into the looney bin for ten years!” Ed snaps, jumping from the couch. “Besides, it won’t only be the GCPD but Lee and Barbara too who’ll be coming after us.”
“So what?” the Penguin grouses, peering up at the Riddler.
Gasping, Ed takes a step back. “You did kill him?” he asks, horrified.
Oswald doesn’t answer, just keeps staring into the distance.
“I seriously thought it would make me feel better,” he admits at last.
“You ineffable idiot!” Ed screeches. “Only mere seconds after your release! Barbara will skin us both and bury our remains in Arkham. How could you not have waited for a more suitable moment?”
Slowly turning around, Oswald rises unsteadily to his feet. “I waited ten years,” he hisses. “I suppose I waited long enough. And now get out!”
“But…”
“I said OUT!” the smaller man screams. Hands balled into fists, Oswald looks ready to rip his associate apart.
Ed stays calm, though. “It’s really not the time for one of your emotional outbursts. Tell me where the corpse is and I’ll take care of it,” he reasons.
The Penguin stiffens. Limping to the fireplace, he leans his forehead against the tile above the searing flames. “Where his body is?” he repeats, an eerie smile distorting his features. “Do you really have to ask? It’s where you dumped mine, deep down by the fishes, on its way to the ocean.”
Worrying his lower lip, Ed considers this information. A flash of hurt crosses his face before it turns into a stony mask. “Don’t make dumping your lovers into the river a habit. It has your signature written all over it,” he teases briskly.
“You’re one to talk,” he scoffs.
“And?” Edward inquires, ignoring that last statement. “How did it feel?” he asks with true curiosity.
“I don’t know, Ed,” Oswald replies, smirking. “You tell me. How did it feel dumping your one true love into the river?”
Mouth pressed into a hard line, the Riddler glances towards the smaller man with obvious displeasure. He raises his hand, unsure how to respond and finally settles onto the truth. “Like being skinned alive while burning my mind to ashes.”
Oswald nods. “That sounds about right,” he acknowledges. “And doesn’t even cover half of it.”He pauses. Staring gloomily into the flames he mumbles, “I’m freezing, Ed.” Suddenly, his eyes light up and he turns toward Ed, an awe-stricken expression brightening his face, “It’s the first time you admit that you love me.”
The Riddler snorts. “You can run but never escape me. You can’t touch me but I’m holding you in a firm grip. What am I?”
“The past,” Oswald answers, rolling his eyes.
“Exactly,” he praises. “I’m not going to live in the past because of you,” he adds, a threatening tone to his words.
“Thank you, Ed,” Oswald snaps back, sarcasm dripping from his tongue. “You already made that perfectly clear in the past . And now a bit of privacy, please?” Making a dismissive gesture, he ushers the Riddler out of the room.
Sighing, he collapses back on his sofa. No matter how high those flames are, he can’t stop shivering. Jim is still at his side, unable to move anywhere Oswald isn’t going. He feels slightly guilty for listening to a conversation he was never supposed to hear, touched, too. There’s also this little pang of jealousy Jim tries stomping down. He has no right, no claims on Oswald, never had. It had been him who rejected the smaller man, always would. Maybe it’s just his hurt ego.
“I really only wanted to keep you safe,” Jim says into the stillness of the room. “I’m oddly glad Ed is looking out for you,” he adds. “But I don’t trust him,” he mumbles. “Not after what he did to Kristen and Lee. You’ll wind up dead, too,” he grumbles to Oswald’s almost again sleeping form.
“I don’t trust him either,” he replies. “But he’s all I have,” he continues with a murmur before drifting back to sleep.
Jim freezes.

books. schedule. books!
I’ve noticed some confusion about my publication schedule, which makes total sense, since it’s pretty complicated right now! Here’s a bit of description to clarify the projects I have going on and when they will be coming out.
Ghosts of the Shadow Market
This is a series of short stories that focus on Jem/Brother Zachariah. They will be published serially as ebooks, with one story coming out each month between April-November 2018. Like The Bane Chronicles and Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, these short stories are collaborations between me and a talented group of writers, in this case Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson, Robin Wasserman, and Kelly Link!
(All of the Ghost of the Shadow Market stories will be collected in a print edition along with two bonus stories, likely coming out in the summer of 2019.)
The stories:
April 2018: Son of the Dawn, with Sarah Rees Brennan. Set in 2000. Jace meets the Lightwoods for the first time!
May 2018: Cast Long Shadows, with Sarah Rees Brennan. Set in 1901. A visit to the Shadow Market changes Matthew Fairchild’s life forever.
June 2018: Every Exquisite Thing, with Maureen Johnson. Set in the early 1900s. The story of Anna Lightwood’s first love!
July 2018: Learn about Loss, with Kelly Link. Set in the 1930s. Brother Zachariah visits a dark carnival and dabbles in demon-summoning.
August 2018: A Deeper Love, with Maureen Johnson. Set in the 1940s. Tessa Gray and Catarina Loss pose as nurses in order to aid suffering mundane humans during WW2.
September 2018: The Wicked Ones, with Robin Wasserman. Set in 1989/90. Celine Montclaire encounters Valentine Morgenstern for the first time.
October 2018: The Land I Lost, with Sarah Rees Brennan. Set in 2012. Alec Lightwood and Lily Chen go to Buenos Aires to help rebuild in the wake of the Dark War, and Alec meets an orphaned Shadowhunter child.
November 2018: Through Blood, Through Fire, with Robin Wasserman. Set in 2012. A dark threat is looming over a child of the Shadow Market, and Jem Carstairs and Tessa Gray may be the only ones who can save him.
Upcoming books:
The Golden Tower (Magisterium 5)
September 11, 2018
This is it! The final book in the series! Callum Hunt’s destiny is sealed.
Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices 3)
December 4, 2018
The last book of the trilogy sets in motion events that will change the Shadow World forever.
The Red Scrolls of Magic (The Eldest Curses 1, with Wesley Chu)
March 2019
Magnus and Alec planned to go on a nice peaceful vacation after the Dark War. They weren’t planning on encountering stolen memories, dark secrets, vicious demons, and murderous cultists. Suddenly their European tour looks a lot more like work, but both are still determined to enjoy it!
Ghosts of the Shadow Market print edition
No exact date yet, probably Summer 2019
Chain of Gold (The Last Hours 1)
No exact date yet, likely sometime between September-November 2019
This is the beginning of a new Shadowhunter trilogy set during the Edwardian Era! The children of Tessa, Will, and the other characters from the Infernal Devices have grown up in a far less frightening world than their parents did. But trouble is brewing amid their boating parties and balls. Revenge, prejudice, and obsession lie hidden beneath the surface of their world, and a mysterious illness has begun to strike Shadowhunters down…
The Lost Book of the White (The Eldest Curses 2)
Likely March 2020
Magnus and Alec thought the adventures of their far-too-eventful vacation were long past. But old friends and old enemies linger, and the story continues…
Chain of Iron (The Last Hours 2)
Once again, likely to come out in Fall (September-November) 2020
The story of James, Lucie, Cordelia and their friends continues.
2021: After this everything gets a little fuzzy. Publications aren’t scheduled this far out, but we’ve still got The Last Hours 3, The Eldest Curses 3, and Sword Catcher on the horizon! (Not to mention Wicked Powers!)

Irn bru isn't even Scottish, it was invented in north England and only became affiliated with Scotland through advertising
You are incorrect, ridiculously so.It was first produced in Falkirk in 1901 under the name Iron Brew before undergoing a name change to comply with laws as it is not technically 'brewed.' This prompted the changing of the spelling to IRN BRU.

Almost Halfway There: Miles 4-6.
Miles 4 - 6
Albertbridge Road - Newtownards Road - Dee Street - Sydenham Bypass.
The next few miles takes us into the heart of East Belfast. As you turn on to Albertbridge Road you will notice a large ‘Peace Wall’ to your left. This separates the Catholic Short Strand from the Protestant Cluan Place. A remnant from the Troubles that continues to enforce the differences between the two communities, just in case you ever wonder why there’s still tension in this city, when you grow up with a literal wall between you and your neighbours you tend to harbour a sense of mistrust.
Further along the road, you may notice a large stone outside the XOXO Tanning Club. This is the Long Bridge Stone. The Long Bridge crossed the Lagan between 1688 and 1841. It was demolished and replaced in 1841 by noted Belfast architect, Francis Ritchie. While Ritchie was demolishing the bridge, a friend of his, a Doctor who lived on the junction between Castlereagh Street and Albertbridge Road requested a stone from the bridge as a souvenir. Ritchie obliged and placed the stone in the Doctor’s garden. As the years went by, the Doctor’s home was replaced with a bar known as McShannon’s but the stone remained.
Local folklore claimed that the Long Bridge Stone was actually the mounting stone used by King William of Orange to mount his horse on his way to the battle of the Boyne, however King William was in Ireland 150 years before the stone was placed there and certainly never made it to the Albertbridge road.
The Long Bridge was replaced by the Queen’s bridge, which you will cross around the 9th mile.
There are a few interesting architectural points along the Albertbridge road. There is the old Musgraves Factory, now The King building, a multipurpose office and retail building, you will notice the balcony above the main door featuring the heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales, ‘The Prince of Wales’s Feathers’. If you look closely, you may also see a small statue of an owl attached to the balcony. This is a nod to the scout troop ‘Owl Patrol’ which used to meet in the YMCA Mountpottinger building which is a bit further up on the right. Opposite the YMCA building is the Ballymacarrett Orange Hall, completed in 1901. All 3 are quite beautiful buildings, but unfortunately are in a bit of disrepair.
Just before you get to the YMCA building, you will notice a small park on the left hand side of the road. This is the Bridge Community Garden which is home to the Soundscape Park Project. Here, loudspeakers are hidden around the garden and play sounds from all over the world, from the crashing of waves, the sounds of the Amazon Rainforest to the factory sounds of Harland and Wolff.
As you approach your 6th mile you turn onto the Newtownards Road, in case the Albertbridge Road left you in some kind of doubt, the Newtownards Road should confirm your suspicions that, yes, this is a Protestant, Loyalist part of the city.
You will notice shops selling instruments and paraphernalia for Orange marches and Loyalist band parades, as well as flags supporting the various provinces of the United Kingdom and British Army.
A prominent building on the Newtownards Road is the Portview Trade Centre. Originally the Jaffe Spinning Mill named for its founder, prominent Belfast citizen, Otto Jaffe it was sold to Mackie’s in 1912 and became the Strand Spinning Mill. Here, flax tow, munitions and viscose rayon were produced until 1983 when the mill closed. It is now home to numerous businesses including Boundary Brewing, a co-op owned local brewery who host monthly tap rooms and supply beer to various bars around the city and the rest of the world.
An indication to turn right onto Dee Street is the Great Eastern Bar. An absolutely stunning building built in 1890. Named after the Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s iron steamship, The Great Eastern. A ship that was built in London in 1858. It has changed name a few times over the years including the Red Hand Bar and the Ulster Arms, but was changed back to the original Great Eastern Bar in the 1970s.
Dee Street is home to the Harland and Wolff Welder’s club, you will see a small plaque on the wall outside commemorating 8 men who lost their lives constructing the Titanic. This street will also be your first clear look at the Harland and Wolff cranes, Samson and Goliath.
As you cross over the Dee Street Bridge, the cranes come into view and you turn a corner onto Sydenham bypass. The Sydenham bypass was the first dual carriageway in Northern Ireland with work beginning in 1938 and fully opening in 1959.
This isn’t the most interesting stretch to run down, but there are one or 2 spots of interest. You will be able to see The Oval stadium which has been the home ground of Glentoran FC since 1892 and has been the site of numerous protests through the years, including a protest in 2008 by the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster against the IFA’s decision to hold games on a Sunday. Hopefully they don’t find out which day the half marathon is on this year.
Come back next time for a little about the next stretch of the race. You’re almost halfway home.
Thanks again to everyone who has been reading these posts and donating to my fundraiser.
There’s still time to donate here.

Ok but fairies don’t like iron so clearly Irn Bru was created as a modern urban solution to Scotland’s fairy problem.
I mean think about it, very few stories have cropped up of people being taken by the Good Neighbours since the late nineteenth century which coincides with the rise of popular health tonics like iron brews, while the precursor to THE Irn Bru was brought out in 1901.
This ALSO coincides with the lifetimes of individuals such as Andrew Lang (who of course published a version of Robert Kirk’s Secret Commonwealth, and Kirk was one of those reputed to have been taken by the fairies) and the prominence of Victorian cutesy fairy tradition may have brought public attention to very real, malevolent and not particularly cutesy human-fairy issues in the contemporary world, sparking an effort to end abductions.
The Good Neighbours cannot have been particularly happy about this, not least because it’s status as ‘Scotland’s Other National Drink’ threatened the position of their own invention, whisky, from which they still draw massive revenues (because obviously Scotch whisky is supernatural, how else would it be the best, and it is well-known that those who imbibe have a greater chance of seeing the Fair Folk). Various attempts to placate fairy distillers have taken place over the years however, and to bring the two communities together, with much greater success since devolution and the founding of the Scottish parliament (the fairy community being considered an embarrassment and marker of backwardness by the Scots at the time of the Act of Union, so attempts were made to hide them from Westminster, though not always successfully).
One particularly prominent symbol of improved relations between the communities is the famous snowman Christmas advert, conceived as a metaphor for human and fairy cooperation (the snowman being animated by magic, though hiding behind the conventional Christmas imagery of Raymond Briggs’ classic). However it has been an established principle in Scots law since at least 1946 that humans who have taken regular doses of irn bru are off-limits and unable to be “invited” to the fairy world without fully understanding what they’d got into (whisky drinkers are plainly related to ancient bardic traditions and thus much more likely to go looking for such experiences than the sober), thus lessening the chance of nasty diplomatic situations.
Drink your irn bru kids, unless you want to be taken by the fairies

Irn-Bru
Following World War II, British legislation required that products be labeled to reflect their actual contents. Scotland's “Iron Brew” soda, invented in 1901, quickly came under fire. This was not because it didn't contain iron (it did, and still does), but because it wasn't brewed. The A.G. Barr company was ...
