people who became reliant on al jazeera for news on the israeli genocide in gaza: pls know that AJ might not cover the american bombing of yemen in the same way due to politics, however, this doesnt mean that civilian areas in yemen arent being bombed at all (eg airports) so pls look at other sources for accurate reporting eg almayadeen english

Night Launch of Apollo 17
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The huge, 363-feet tall Apollo 17 (Spacecraft 114/Lunar Module 12/Saturn 512) space vehicle is launched from Pad A., Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, at 12:33 a.m. (EST), Dec. 7, 1972. Apollo 17, the final lunar landing mission in NASA's Apollo program, was the first nighttime liftoff of the Saturn V launch vehicle. Aboard the Apollo 17 spacecraft were astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commander; astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot; and scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot. Flame from the five F-1 engines of the Apollo/Saturn first (S-1C) stage illuminates the nighttime scene. A two-hour and 40-minute hold delayed the Apollo 17 launching."
Date: December 7, 1972

Episode Summary: We are introduced to Joshua and his family during Sunday Dinner where everyone is helping in and around the kitchen.
Genre: Fluff
Masterlist for SVTTROS Series
a/n this one is really self indulgent (almost boarding delusion). I’ve always pictured Josh with a filo!s/o ever since I found out that some of his friends back in LA are filo. If you don’t relate to this one I understand, feel free to read some more general MCs in the other members episodes.
Tumblr media
Italics: Narrators Boo Seungkwan (BS) and Lee Minhyuk (LM)
Bold: Staff
Regular: What family member says / what camera films during the show *____*: English
Tumblr media
Listen To: Habang Buhay by Zack Tabudlo
LM: The Return of Superman Idol Edition
BS: Episode 3 “I Think I Love You ” Part 1. The window to window wall frames the first signs of snowfall in Seoul. Today we’re invited into a cute modern style apartment with an open kitchen concept and beautiful gray accented glass cabinets.
LM: There is a lot of music related decor in and around the house, from the signed guitars hung in a protective case on either side of the kitchen while the record player in the living room plays some acoustic music. Could today's superdad be a musician?
BS: They could also be a producer, there’s a bunch of microphones lying around the house.
LM: Two stools are leaned up against the kitchen island with little legs on the highest step. A pair of sturdy legs are standing between the two in what appears to be baggy jeans.
*“Bunso what is this?”* Min-ah asks. (Authors Note: Bunso means youngest in Tagalog).
“It’s pancake batter.” Si-ah, his youngest daughter leans closer over the deep bowl ensuring all the flour has been incorporated into the batter before gesturing to her father to pass the chocolate chips. Joshua carefully puts distance between his son, who is strapped in a frontward facing carrier against his chest, and the small bag of sweets.
*“Are we allowed to do this?”*
“Yeah, it’s a surprise for mommy.” Joshua reassured his middle child by patting her on the top of her head. For a second he notices some of the hairs in her ponytail loosen and quickly tries to flatten it out with his palm before looking back at his youngest. He kicked his legs in excitement at seeing the commotion going on between his older sisters.
“Are you sure?”
His youngest is quick to react, saying *“Unnie, do you always have this many questions?”*
The blunt answer forces a chuckle out of Joshua’s lips as the camera finally pans above to capture his head fully.
BS: I would recognize that laugh anywhere. Today's Superman is none other than a past guest of return of Superman and seventeen’s self proclaimed gentleman, Joshua Hong.
LM: Wow, fatherhood really suits him.
The sound of the front door opening captures everyone’s attention, the three state as Y/N arrives dressed in a simple suit with a briefcase in tow. For a moment the cameras fall onto the massive wedding photo above the couch of Joshua wearing a traditional Filipino suit called a Barong and Y/N wearing a traditional hanbok. The white background of the photo makes the duo appear more vividly in contrast with the gray crowning in the living room.
BS: This supermom looks as if she appeared at a meeting, it’s no surprise given that she is none other than the Co-CEO of Honey-Jade Hong Y/N.
*“Wow girls, everything looks so good.”* She compliments while wafting the air with her free hand. *“You can’t go wrong with breakfast for dinner.”* She makes her way towards the kitchen counter placing her bags against the space next to the fridge.
LM: Breakfast for dinner? That’s new
BS: it’s very common in some places in America to eat like this.
*“Did you guys have fun today?”* Kissing the top of their heads before gesturing towards her husband with her eyes.
Joshua is quick to reassure her with a quick “Yeah” before he is immediately cut off.
*“We were until you came home really early mom, we didn’t get to surprise you.”* A small pout forms on Min-ah’s face upset at the sudden change of plans.
*“That’s okay sweetheart, that just means I can spend time helping us prepare for dinner.”* Her mother stated in an attempt to redirect her emotions.
*“Yeah Unnie it’s okay, we get to cook together and spend more time as a family”*
Si-ah points to a gift bag on the counter. *“Mommy what’s this?”*
LM: I’ve been wanting to know that since she walked in.
BS: It’s quite small to be clothes
*“It’s a gift for the party tomorrow.”*
*“Is it for baby Jeong-woo?”*
*“That’s right. We're going to attend his 100 day celebration with Uncle Wonwoo and the rest of your Sebong uncles”*
BS: Ah that’s right. I wonder if we’ll see more of your uncles on todays episode Siah.
Tumblr media
“Hi.”
I think you’re covering your mic Y/N. Can you bring it closer to your mouth.
“Oh my gosh.” She realizes her hair covered most of the black block and adjusting higher up on her shirt collar.
“It’s okay you got this” Joshua whispers in her ear putting his fists in the air in a cheer. The girls turn around in their chair and follow suit, cheering on their mother.
“Hello, I am Y/N. I’m Min-ah, Si-ah and In-soo’s mother. I’m sorry if you can’t understand my Korean, I’m trying really hard to become fluent.” She says while In-so sits in her lap playing with her hands.
Her oldest quietly speaks up to the camera “Hello I’m Min-ah, my English name is Mina.”
“And I’m Si-ah and my English name is Sandara. This is my younger brother In-soo, and his English name is Isaiah.” The second gets up from her seat to get at eye level with her brother. Her enthusiastic coos while holding the cheeks of her younger brother with her hands. The entire family begins to join the youngest as he giggles out.
How many languages does your family know?
“Our girls are fluent in English and Korean. They speak to us in both languages Joshua responds back in Korean and I respond back in English and more recently Tagalog.”
“Our son In-soo picks up English a little better than Korean just because I’ve been able to practice with him because of touring. I’m hoping through this show I’ll be able to accomplish that.”
“We’re not pushing them too much when it comes to picking up the languages I know, we’re learning it slowly throughout our daily lives.”
What was in the suitcase?
“It has pictures of my designs and models. My business partner and I have an upcoming spring fashion launch. I was just looking over the order to on paper to see if I need to make any changes.”
“After having met her through Jeonghan, the two of them immediately found a shared sense of interest in fashion, my wife focused more on the design aspects while Jeonghan’s wife focused on the modelling. Before we knew it they became best friends.”
Why do you call Si-ah the youngest when she’s the middle child?
“Because she’s the youngest girl. I can call Isaiah that too but it gets confusing. So because he is the youngest boy, I call him Balong.”
Is there anything you want to tell the return of the Superman audience?
“I’m so happy to return to this show no longer as a guest but as part of the core members in this coming year. I hope through our different trials and tribulations you continue to cheer us on and perhaps that Korea will learn to be more kind to people like my children and wife.”

During the pandemic, 28% of Black workers were classified as “essential,” doing the work of caring for others that put them and their families at great risk. In Professor Blair LM Kelley’s new book, Black Folk — The Roots of the Black Working Class, Kelley tells the story of her own working-class ancestors, stretching back into the 19th century, who also did the essential work of our economy. They suffered exploitation and violence as slaves, sharecroppers and maids but also forged bonds of mutuality with their families and fellow workers. Black Folk charts the history of a family while also describing how African Americans built organizations — including churches, unions and support groups — fought for economic and political rights and had a nationwide impact. Black churches, Kelley writes, were sacred spaces that “retained their subversive power” by providing a vision of liberation while serving as a training ground for political struggles. And when white-run unions showed no interest in organizing Black workers, African Americans built their own unions, like the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, founded in 1925.

Worst things the engines have received in fan mail
Thomas: a twenty page detailed letter on why I should’ve been portrayed as a Jinty
Edward: a batch of biscuits, I can’t eat but also I didn’t want to waste them so we just threw them in my firebox…
Henry: a custom model of me, but they used a LMS Jubilee Class as a base…
Gordon: a letter detailing a fan’s ride on my brother that was written a very condescending way
James: a scratch ticket that I couldn’t cash in because it’s from Australia
Percy: Scarves
Toby: really, I don’t know what this even is and judging by the look on my driver’s face, I don’t want to
Duck: this LNER badge
Donald: this flag, I don’t know where it’s from but I think it might be a variant of the german flag? *gestures to the pansexual flag*
Douglas: a bunch of stuffed ducks, they were meant for Donnie but the fan mixed us up.
Oliver: a lawsuit from my previous owner saying that sir Topham Hatt stole me from him.
Toad: not the worst thing, but someone sent me this cute little toad sitting on a toadstool with a fishing pool statue.
Bertie: nothing.
Diesel: this weird smut fanfiction that has me and Thomas as humans in high school and [CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR] and then eat spaghetti with a side of breadsticks. And of course because of our tradition, we had to read it out loud… I now promise to never make fun of James and Edward when they receive fanfiction together.
Daisy: Milky, the marvelous milking cow
Bill and Ben: a stink bomb, not a bad thing for us, but it was the wort thing a fan had sent to us according to BoCo
Salty: Coupons to a grocery store
Cranky: a cease and desist from OSHA
Duncan: a Dunkin’ Donuts gift card that we can’t use because the UK doesn’t have Dunkin’ Donuts
Philip: this lovely card that says “!!^%$!! You! Get off the island or we will have you deported back to America!” Complete with a picture of the fan flipping me off.
Harold: a single screw
Emily: some fan threatening a lawsuit against me for some reason.
Sir Topham Hatt: a porn video….

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - One of the Red Spectres of that Epoch, LM 3.3.2 (Les Miserables 1925)
Any one who had chanced to pass through the little town of Vernon at this epoch, and who had happened to walk across that fine monumental bridge, which will soon be succeeded, let us hope, by some hideous iron cable bridge, might have observed, had he dropped his eyes over the parapet, a man about fifty years of age wearing a leather cap, and trousers and a waistcoat of coarse gray cloth, to which something yellow which had been a red ribbon, was sewn, shod with wooden sabots, tanned by the sun, his face nearly black and his hair nearly white, a large scar on his forehead which ran down upon his cheek, bowed, bent, prematurely aged, who walked nearly every day, hoe and sickle in hand, in one of those compartments surrounded by walls which abut on the bridge, and border the left bank of the Seine like a chain of terraces, charming enclosures full of flowers of which one could say, were they much larger: “these are gardens,” and were they a little smaller: “these are bouquets.” All these enclosures abut upon the river at one end, and on a house at the other. The man in the waistcoat and the wooden shoes of whom we have just spoken, inhabited the smallest of these enclosures and the most humble of these houses about 1817. He lived there alone and solitary, silently and poorly, with a woman who was neither young nor old, neither homely nor pretty, neither a peasant nor a bourgeoise, who served him. The plot of earth which he called his garden was celebrated in the town for the beauty of the flowers which he cultivated there. These flowers were his occupation. By dint of labor, of perseverance, of attention, and of buckets of water, he had succeeded in creating after the Creator, and he had invented certain tulips and certain dahlias which seemed to have been forgotten by nature. He was ingenious; he had forestalled Soulange Bodin in the formation of little clumps of earth of heath mould, for the cultivation of rare and precious shrubs from America and China. He was in his alleys from the break of day, in summer, planting, cutting, hoeing, watering, walking amid his flowers with an air of kindness, sadness, and sweetness, sometimes standing motionless and thoughtful for hours, listening to the song of a bird in the trees, the babble of a child in a house, or with his eyes fixed on a drop of dew at the tip of a spear of grass, of which the sun made a carbuncle. His table was very plain, and he drank more milk than wine. A child could make him give way, and his servant scolded him. He was so timid that he seemed shy, he rarely went out, and he saw no one but the poor people who tapped at his pane and his curé, the Abbé Mabeuf, a good old man. Nevertheless, if the inhabitants of the town, or strangers, or any chance comers, curious to see his tulips, rang at his little cottage, he opened his door with a smile. He was the “brigand of the Loire.”

Who among us has not written about Les Miserables for some school project or another? I did for my capstone project in high school. Well so did one graduate of Kokomo high school in 1887. There were 10 in that year's graduating class and their names and the subject of their capstone project were printed in the local paper:
Miss Callie McNutt, "A Literary Mirror" Miss Mary Hunt, "The Key to the Safe Not the Gold" Miss Hattie Durett, "The Commonplace" Miss Nettie Leach, "Life's Perspective" Miss Kate Hunt, "The Danger is in the Desert" Frank Morris, "Mimer's Curse" Miss Maud Frazier, "Shall We Call It Charity, or Tribute?" Miss Tudie Ellis, "Injolras and Grantaire"  Miss Della Hunt, "The Alpine Rose" Miss Myrtle Maris, "Ballast"
In trying to find out more about the intriguing Tudie Ellis, I considered that "Tudie" might be a misspelling of "Trudie" and I looked for more information on her school. I found an almost identical record of the graduating class of 1887 on an Indiana genealogy archive with one difference: her name is listed as Martha Ellis (married name Hopkins). With that information, I found a Martha Ellis Hopkins from Indiana, born in 1870 and who had a sister named Sara Ellis, also a graduate of Kokomo High School. The Indiana Historical Society has a collection of Martha's papers but they all pertain to her role as Republican Party precinct vice-committee woman in Jasper County, Indiana. Also the Tippecanoe County Historical Association has her bicycle in their collections....but sadly no one seems to have her high school paper about in Les Mis.

Headcanon: Rosie has been on Sodor way longer than you’d think...
World War II is a notoriously glossed over time in Sodor history. On an unrelated note, Rosie is a USATC S100, a class of locomotive that was built in the USA and exported to Europe for the Allies’ war effort. Rosie’s introductory episode is one which does not feature any kind of origin story, nor is she said to be new. She just kinda shows up and is treated as if she’s been a character who’s been around this entire time... I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this... 😈
During WWII, the North Western’s roster would only consists of the first six engines, a few of the remaining pre-NWR Grouping engines, and presumably a gaggle of LMS loaners who may or may not be called back home to assist with their home region’s war effort. The prospects of this fleet pulling through in one piece don’t look that good on paper IMO. I think it’s not out of the question for FC1 to put in a call for some reinforcements, and given how the North Western was made for the WWI war effort and likely borrowed many War Department engines back then too, it’d only really be following tradition! And so, Rosie enters the picture. Definitely not in the pink she debuts in on TV, probably in some kind of austere black or gray. She definitely wouldn’t have been alone, I’d like to think there could have been an S160 on Sodor too to help with heavy goods. I am a huge proponent of Hank being an S160 instead of a PRR K4 (I’ll probably make a post about that at some point in the future), but it does have the unfortunate affect of knocking Hank’s one and only episode out of canon on a surface level not only by changing his basis but by making his arrival party impossible due to the presence of Toby and Emily, who would not be there in WWII! But again, this is better suited for another post. Let’s just leave it at “Rosie arrives in Tidmouth straight from America, along with an S160 who may-or-may-not-be Hank.”
I figure the reason she comes to admire Thomas specifically so much is because she was likely assigned to work on his branch line, and thus had a lot of proximity to him during her formative years. TK&ELR Coffee Pots 2-4 would still be around until the early 50s, but they were used sparingly after Thomas’ arrival due to their poor condition among other things. So it would make sense to send a perfectly capable, brand-new tank engine to work alongside Thomas in their place. Rosie would be personality-wise where she is in her Model Series episodes: cheerful, childish, and way too idolizing of Thomas. Admittedly I have no idea if the ongoing war would even allow her to be this way, but I suppose she may be in a similar boat to Thomas? He was built and shipped off right at the start of WWI, and yet was still relatively innocent, albeit not to the degree of Rosie... I figure they were both either sheltered from the respective Horrors of War, or it simply did not affect them as deeply as one might think. Man-made horrors beyond locomotive comprehension? I dunno for sure. I also figure Thomas would loooove the attention of his new charge at first, only to slowly get sick of her over time and end up where he is in her debut episode. Upon the end of WWII, all of the S100s and S160s (save the 10 S100s that became the SR’s USA Class) that were based in the UK were repatriated back to the USA. Given Sodor’s history of, ahem, “retaining” their wartime assistance, I don’t think they would have given them back. But since Rosie’s presence would no longer be a priority on the Ffarquhar line, I think she’d be transferred to another depot on Sodor, possibly either Vicarstown (as per her later role in the CGI Series) or Cronk (which in the RWS would be a major hub for rail on the North Western, and could use a dedicated shunter). I figure this work would keep her sufficiently occupied, which is why FC2 wouldn’t just put her back on the branch during the Knapford Harbor renovation, which otherwise in this HC would be way easier than transferring Percy and bringing in Duck to take his place at Tidmouth.
Thomas probably breathed a sigh of relief once he knew he was safe from Rosie’s potential return! Though since Sodor engines love to stray from their allocations whenever the plot demands, that doesn’t mean he’s safe forever...
And of course, as soon as the war ends and she officially becomes one of the Fat Controller’s Engines, this is when she’d get her ever-so-loved Pink livery... To be honest whenever I think of Rosie’s livery timeline I never come up with a reason why she ever chooses pink. Like, obviously she starts in a wartime livery, and then at some point chooses red over pink as a symbolic way of reinventing herself and ceasing to model herself after anyone else. But at the stage in her life where she idolizes Thomas so much, why would she pick anything that’s not NW Blue? I suppose we’ll never know. Anyway since FC1 has pretty much given up all hope of a standardized livery by this point, I’m sure he’d just accept it and resignedly tell the paint shop lads to start mixing a shade that’s never gone on a steam engine before.
I think that’s all the bases covered. The only thing it doesn’t cover is any of the development that would lead to Red Rosie, but I feel like those events would be a decade or two removed from the war and not really on topic anyway. I just thought this would be a fun way to look at Rosie, or at least an alternative to “she’s one of the 10 SR USA Tanks and came to Sodor post-Oliver”. The only real downside to this HC is that its incompatible with my former pet idea that Rosie was a follower of the Railway Series in the post-war years and her idolization was more akin to a parasocial relationship, and that doesn’t really work if she’s arrived on Sodor and stayed there before the books were even published. Oh well, at least this new Rosie HC would be a much more mentally healthy Rosie, lol.
