Playchoices MCs - Part 11

Previous | Next

artist notes under the cut

Niobe Chase (TPA) | She puts James Bond to shame. I gave her a different stealth outfit because I'm tired of PB drowning female MCs in crop tops. There are other shirt types, thank you very much. Also scars and ✨muscles✨ because MCs deserve to be shredded too.

Gwyneira (GUIN) | If PB gives me a historical book, I will look up historical outfits and throw out every outfit PB gave me. It is a fact of life. Gwyneira's gown is a combination of Eleanor of Aquitaine's tomb effigy and some inspiration from 12th c. English queens. I went with 12th century fashion because that's when Guinevere is first mentioned in literature.

Fumie Ueno (KOD) | I cannot tell you the annoyance I felt after having lightly researched the Yakuza because I wanted to use the new Asian face in the book, given my MC a well though out Japanese name, only for me to open the book and see that her father's name is Beckham and her brother's name is Clyde. Her default name is Diamond. Make it make sense. I changed the gold to silver in her outfit because if goes better with her skin tone. I also gave her F!Trystan's snake earrings.

Maxine "Max" Thompson (GG) | Listen, I did the math. I'm declaring that Max's parents named her after Maxine Shaw (Attorney at Law) from Living Single. Max takes Type A personality to a whole new level and I love her for it.

Amika Fuller (RWB) | I was contractually obligated to put a red solo cup somewhere in Amika's portrait. I clearly decided to I wanted to practice rendering patterns for this set of MCs because I just noticed that 5/6 have a pattern somewhere on their clothes.

Cheyney Latimore (FCL) | Miss Steal-Your-Girl herself. Listen, she's messy, but she's my mess. The pins on her hiking bag are as follows: the flag for the state of Georgia (because I headcanon that the characters when to Clark Atlanta University instead of just Clark University), a pressed penny, the symbol of Uranus (it's a Sailor Moon reference), the lesbian pride flag, and the pin for Arches National Park.

Horror is Queer

Horror has always had queer creators behind and infront of it.

F.W. Murnau directed Nosferatu (1922)

James Whale directed Frankenstein (1931), The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), The Invisible Man (1933), The Old Dark House (1932).

Clive Barker is a well known horror writer, I know Stephen King isn't the only one shocking. He's also directed some of his own work, notably, Hellraiser (1987), Nightbreed (1990), and Lord of Illusions (1995).

Kevin Williamson is the creator of Dawson's Creek, as well as, the screenwriter of Scream (1996), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), The Faculty (1998), and Sick (2022). He also did a treatment for and produced Halloween: H20 (1998).

Don Mancini is responsible for the Child's Play/Chucky franchise. He also wrote the screenplay for Dweller Celler (1998).

Eliva is a goth, camp, queen, ICON! She's a horror host, and lifestyle.

Christopher Landon wrote the screenplays for Disturbia (2007), Paranormal Activity 2, 3, 4, Next of Kin, and the Marked Ones which he also directed. He wrote and directed Scouts Guide to Zombie Apocalypse (2015), Happy Death Day (2017) and it's sequel (2019), Freaky (2020), oh and he's slated to direct Scream 7!

Bryan Fuller was the showrunner of NBC's Hannibal and is now working on the Friday the 13th prequel series, Crystal Lake.

Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstien.

Daphne Du Maurier wrote Rebecca and a short story that would become The Birds. Hitchcock was clearly a fan.

Joel Schumacher directed The Lost Boys. Meanwhile Tom Holland made Fright Night which might be the queerest vampire movie ever made... huh.

Gus Van Sant... well he directed the Psycho remake... so that happened...

Carter Smith directed Ruins (2008), Swallowed (2022), The Passenger (2023), and a few others. OH and Swallowed has Mark Patton from Nightmare On Elm Street II: Freddy's Revenge.

I'm sure I missed some.

Then you get into some phenomenal actors...

The Parliament Fart of 1607, or Satire and Respectability

On the 4th March, 1607, just after being read a message from the Lords, one of the younger members of the English Parliament, Henry Ludlow, farted somewhat loudly, enough that everyone heard it. This event was noted enough that it is remembered even now as the Parliament Fart of 1607.

Farting was common in humour throughout the Medieval and Early Modern periods, as broad humour involving sexuality and scatology was quite widespread, however in-person farting was considered indiscreet for a gentleman. Cleanliness and control of one's bodily functions was associated with sophistication, and farting could be particularly awkward in a society that associated bad smells with infection (see miasma theory). So this was the kind of thing that might damage your reputation, even your career, particularly at a public event. But, in the end, Henry Ludlow escaped relatively unscathed, he had other scandals given his quarrelsome nature, so perhaps that distracted people.

What did emerge from this moment however was a series of manuscript poems satirising the event. Manuscript, hand-writing, was the standard form for controversial writings because it couldn't be traced back to a specific printing-press, as seen similarly in the "libels" of the time where people would mock recently-deceased political figures. This one was written many times in different ways, and continued to be reimagined as late as the 1660's early Restoration.

All versions start with the fart, often described him similar wordings, and then follow a format of rhyming couplets with various named members standing up to respond to the fart. There's a bit of mischief here in how the members, speaking largely like they would with any other parliamentary business, attempt to keep a sense of dignity in their responses.

One example has the first sentences as:

"Downe came grave auntient Sr John Crooke And redd his message in his booke. Fearie well, quoth Sr William Morris, Soe: But Henry Ludlowes Tayle cry’d Noe. Up starts one fuller of deuotion Then Eloquence; and said A very ill motion Not soe neither quoth Sr Henry Jenkin The Motion was good; but for the stincking Well quoth Sr Henry Poole it was a bold tricke To Fart in the nose of the bodie pollitique." (Bodleian Library manuscript, Malone 23)

You can get a sense of the style of these poems from that. At the time of the original incident, the parliament was debating the naturalisations of the Scots after the Union of the Crowns under James VI and I.

James was originally a Scottish king before English, somewhat subverting the original English desire to conquer Scotland, which unsurprisingly some people weren't very happy about, the Gunpowder Plotters themselves where partially motivated by anti-Scottish xenophobia. His mother was Mary Queen of Scots (of head-losing fame) but he was separated from her long before she died and raised by his Protestant relatives. Because of their descent from the line of Henry VII's eldest daughter Margaret, many considered James and his mother as the primary heirs to the throne, so his Protestantism cleared many of the barriers for his acceptance his mother had faced. Though it's unclear whether Elizabeth ever really accepted James as heir, he was increasingly treated as de-facto heir in the later years of her reign.

Because James inherited the English crown separately (and associated crown of Ireland, English dominion over Wales and not-yet-forgotten claim to the throne of France) it remained entirely independent from and distinct to his kingdom of Scotland. James disliked the idea of holding two crowns at the same time when the system were quite different, so he became the first person to propose the political idea of Great Britain, which would not become a reality until the reign of his great-grandaughter Anne in 1707. While he could only use the title Britain in prerogative matters, things the King could do unilaterally, since he could not convince parliament to accept it, James wanted parliament to at least recognise Scottish subjects born after the union, "post nati", to have natural rights at English subjects.

Naturally, this was one of the subjects referenced in the first Parliament Fart Poems, along with other contemporary topics like freedom of speech and royal finances. But the different versions changed significantly over time. They didn't just fiddle with wordings, they also adapted to reference different issues. Later in James' reign there was the Overbury Scandal, a political murder, and the 1624 Monopolies Bill, on a form of profiteering patenting, later versions written during the 1640's took on the context of the intense parliamentary debate at that time leading up to the civil war. And when it re-appeared in the Restoration, it was used to mock parliament from a Royalist perspective, despite most previous uses being more pro-parliament.

Of course, at the end of the day, the Parliament Fart Poem wasn't just about politics or any other serious topic, it was also play, it was funny, it was fun to write neat little rhyming couplets. It appealed to a taste for irreverent crude humour that was popular at the time even in higher circles. You can see a similar sense of humour in many of Shakespeare's play, so it was far from alone in mixing the high and the low, that was what made such pieces appealing to a relatively wide audience. They weren't too snobbish or narrowly airy. A lot of the classic literature from the Medieval and Early Modern periods had crude humourous moments, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales did too, and that was commonly reprinted in this period as a kind of vintage classic.

Perhaps in the modern day we could also use a moment to laugh at a fart, we'd be in good company.

For the purposes of this list and on this page, whenever I say “dark skinned,” I mean a traditional brown crayon or darker. I grew up around Black people, so the words “dark skinned” do not mean the same thing to me as it do to some nonblacks.

and here’s some more book reviews from Sara

Outline

by Rachel Cusk

The truth is that I struggled to pick my favorite book or writing from Rachel Cusk. All three novels in her

Outline series

are fantastic, and I’ve reread each of them first with passion and then again with a studious eye. For me there is the lonely, yet pragmatic, keen observational protagonist that appeals to me deeply. But also, a woman traveling, forever on the receiving end of looping conversation with strangers. I find her writing extremely romantic. What I’d most like to include on this list, is a piece of her writing from the

New York Times Magazine

: "Making House: Notes on Domesticity." It is a perfect piece of writing about the struggle of making a home and living it in comfortably. “Like the body itself, a home is something both looked at and lived in, a duality that in neither case I have managed to reconcile. I retain the belief that other people’s homes are real where mine is a fabrication, just as I imagine others to live inner lives less flawed than my own.

”

Fire Sermon

by Jamie Quatro

Jamie Quatro’s novel about devotion, longing, lust and god was impossible to put down. I read it in one giant gulp. While male writers are given ample opportunity to write about these ideas, it still feels rare and thrilling when women do.

Sing, Unburied, Sing

by Jesmyn Ward

Everything Jesmyn Ward has written has haunted me afterward. Unblinking, brutal, heartbreaking stories. Her writing feels both modern and like something from a masterpiece that every student is meant to read in high school or college.

The Topeka School

by Ben Lerner

I love a hook, a melody that on first listen gives you goosebumps, or makes your stomach lurch up to your throat. Sometimes I hear one and I think, “that is a smash,” and then settle in to envy that I didn’t write the song myself. That was the feeling I had reading

I couldn’t help but compare our memoir because both books center adolescence and high school at their core. While Ben writes dazzlingly about masculinity and violence and the bubbling rage of teenage boys, I thought about the way we wrote about the paralysis and fear of being a queer girl in that same kind of world. While his boys turn their rage outward, we focused our violence inward, on the most tender parts of ourselves. Ben’s writing opens a door to understanding something about my own experience of those adolescent years. He sheds light on the parents and teachers whose complicated lives indelibly haunt our own, in ways we don’t realize until we become adults. It seems much of our public conversation revolves around what to do about and with men,

The Topeka School is a thrilling response. All of that to say, I think Ben’s book is a smash.

JUNE 3, 2009 1. The Flamethrowers by Rachel KushnerI was so captivated there was no choice but to finish it entirely in one long stretch of days. Passages so beautiful that I found myself re-reading them over and over again in amazement. I think it was in the Harpers Magazine review that they called it feminist and sexy. It’s true. An entirely fresh and inspiring heroine. 2. Light Years by James SalterSo many tears; on the tarmac, on the subway, tucked in my bus bunk. I will cherish this book forever. It is 40 years old and that made the discovery so much more powerful. It’s also a good reminder that I am sentimental and a romantic no matter how hard I try to resist those urges. I’ll cozy up with my tears any day, you can’t shame me! 3. Tenth of December by George SaundersThere aren’t very many writers with a body of work I love so completely. But, I think this is my absolute favourite. I have total admiration/awe for a mind this strange and wonderful

#tegan wrote a song for this book called Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs #it sounds like it could be in the con #you can search it on youtube it's there #there's some * asteriks cause she spoke mo #more about those #or liked them more #Sara Quin #tegan and sara #i'm sorry if i'm spamming tns tags with so much text i only have like 5 posts to make i swear #i've had this shit in my notes for like literally 10 years #from like #and stuff from their insta story or other things #interviews #SKQREADS #arrested development and the crown are both so good #and Moonlight

Is This A Dream???

SO. UMM. CRAZY NEWS??? I am quivering like a ninny as I write this, I can’t even believe this happened. Okay, okay, have to calm down and document this momentous occurance.

So I’ve been practicing like CRAZY for this solo in my guitar class, rite? One of my fingertips was literally bleeding, I was practicing so hard (which made me feel pretty hardcore tbh). Anyway, today I did my solo and it actually went really really well! I played “Blackbird” by The Beatles and I only messed up a lil’ bit at the beginning (cuz of nerves), but as I kept playing, I got more into it and started feeling more confident. As soon as I was done tho, I remembered I was playing in front of a whole classroom of ppl, including the most gorgeous boy I’ve ever seen, and I basically sprinted to my seat before I could get a look at anyone’s face. They clapped, like they did for everyone else, but I still felt my stomach drop to my knees and my whole face was burning hot. I was wishing I could shrink and crawl inside my guitar and just live there for the rest of my life.（/｡＼)

But now for the really crazy part...

When the bell rang, I was rearing to rush out of the classroom when I felt someone lightly touch my arm and softly say my name. I turned around and there was James.

I felt my heart begin to thump again and I prayed to the heavens that I wasn’t turning a humiliating shade of red. To my surprise, he seemed kinda nervous too. He told me I did an amazing job (!!!!!!!!!!!) and I think I mumbled “thank you” or something, when he continued, “I’d love to hear you sing sometime.”

I was honestly taken aback. “How did you know I sing?” I asked him, the utter shock probably visible on my face.

Then he said, “Oh, I mean, I know you’re in the choir. I have some friends in choir too.” He smiled bashfully and I swear I could have peed my pants he was so cute. He has these big, mesmerizing puppy dog eyes that just completely captivated me, stunned me.

“Yeah,” I said dumbly, unable to conjure another thought.

“You know Christa Fuller?” he asked. I nodded (she’s one of the popular girls and she won homecoming queen this year). He went on, “Christa’s in choir too. Anyway, there’s a party at her place on Friday and I was wondering if you wanted to come?”

By this point, I had lost the capacity for speech so I simply smiled and nodded like an idiot.

“Cool,” he said and he handed me a scrap of notebook paper with Christa’s address on it. Beneath it was a phone number. “That’s mine,” he said, “you know, if you ever want to talk or anything.”

“I don’t have a cell,” I squeaked.

“That’s fine,” he said, flashing me with another achingly adorable grin. “We can talk at school. And you can let me know if you need directions to Christa’s, or even a ride there.”

“Ok,” I squeaked.

“I mean, yeah, I can give you a ride. I’ll pick you up at 8?”

“Yeah,” I said breathlessly.

Then he was like “cool, I’ll see you around” or something, but I had already floated up into the clouds, so bloated with elation that nothing again could anchor me to the earth. I walked out of that classroom in a daze, I went to work in a daze, I came back home in a daze, I’m still kind of in a daze RIGHT NOW.

I’ve never been to a party before. What do I wear? CRAP WHAT AM I GONNA DO ABOUT MY MOM?? Why am I FREAKING OUT so much about being invited to a party with a bunch of PREPS? Oh, right, because I think it just might be... a DATE??? (´⊙ω⊙`)！

alex is venus in scorpio, too: deep steely blue eyes and are actually very emotional when you really look at them, and it feels like he’s seducing me even when he doesn’t intend to. (everything i’ve read about men with venus in scorpio is they’re silent when they love you so it can be hard to figure out if they even do like you until they actually come out to you. but booze is simultaneously a truth serum and a hallucinogen, and his venus is in my 5th house of the heart: he’s been dropping so many hints and being so cute that my overthinking ass can’t help but imagine him genuinely professing to me at some point; and given it’s scorpio, i can’t help but be afraid, like what if i’m wrong. i love this man and he makes me feel really sexy, of course i’m going to be afraid.)

eric’s venus is right on top of my ascendant: all them crabs pearly white skin despite having a mexican mother and has always been very round. where alex is subtle and sensual, eric’s right there with me, tender and soft and throwing himself at my feet as if i’m his queen. i don’t really know too much about men with venus in cancer. except. they love their mom. they love women who are fuller and heavier. they love to eat. like the scorpion, they love with their full heart. and let me tell you: i love a guy who loves his mom, i’m a bigger girl who loves to eat and i like that he likes to eat, too. and i’ll put both him and alex next to me as we lay on the grass and look up at the stars with our bellies full and our bodies ready.

and chuck is venus in leo: mr. stately! much like how james hetfield (a leo man) has often come across a roaring beast in his own rite, chuck is the same way... but not as intense and a touch more poetic, given testament’s lyrics are more varied in comparison to metallica’s: james writes songs about war, death, religious angst, cthulu, and also his inner child on a certain clinking clanking fist of a record. chuck and eric do songs about ghosts, the end of the world, the occult, satan, politics, death, self-destruction, ww3, science fiction, and occasionally themselves. chuck and james also sound similar at some points, especially in testament’s earlier days. but like i said, chuck is more agile with his roar where james just seems to do it all the time and to the point of being indecipherable. and i had to check but chuck’s venus is in my 2nd house and it’s a fire venus (good for my aries ass): where alex, eric, and i can wine and dine together, i can ask chuck how he takes his coffee and if he wants to hang out (tiff can totally join!).

chuck’s sun is conjunct my ascendant, so is eric’s moon and venus. eric’s sun is in my 11th house, where chuck’s moon and jupiter are both conjunct my midheaven. alex’s sun is in my 4th (conjunct my jupiter no less) and his moon is literally right above my descendant: the last 17 months have really felt like i’ve been coming home to him. moreover, i feel like i’ve known these three men forever, like the four of us were all together in some sort of clan in a past life.

Against insurmountable odds, Tupac rose to become a cultural icon whose career and persona both continue to grow long after his passing. Credits: TheMovieDb.

Drew Fuller Casting: Mary Vernieu Key Costumer: Heather Sease Key Costumer: Earl Tanchuck Makeup Department Head: Carol Rasheed Movie Reviews: Gimly: In terms of perspective, it’s pretty much exactly what I was afraid _Straight Outta Compton_ would be. As a movie itself though, it’s a disjointed, cheap-looking, paint by numbers biopic that did not manage overcome its niche at all… Fuck that kid looks the part though. _Final rating:★½: – Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

James Bond 007: License to Kill (A Sad Ending

Near Arbor Fuller Hospital, failed AA RIN MI-6 cadet was pronounced dead by his sponsor, crushed to death in a garbage compactor, for failing to quit drugs and alcohol, and for mocking Queen Elizabeth II, his benefactor, for the transition to Chas T. Main's Israeli ownership, in Pasadena, as part of the merger between Lockheed-Martin and Bombardier Learjet, his stepmother's family interest, and his father's family interest.

Rhode Island hero cop, John Willie, thankfully survived, and absconded from the psychiatric dormitory on time, just soon enough to go to UMass-Amherst, in David Michael Charlebois's place, to infiltrate MI-6 as a dead man; just like Dave's late great grandfather, Ernest Charlebois did, as Lucky Luciano.
