#lucas artists program

[cantsayidont]

April to October 1977. Although the first issue of the Marvel STAR WARS comic has a cover date of July 1977, it appeared on newsstands in early April, about a month before the film debuted, and Lucasfilm first approached Marvel about a comics adaptation before the movie had even started shooting. Lucas was plainly a comics reader — as writer/editor Roy Thomas explains in a text page in the first issue, Lucas had even read Marvel's short-lived UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION magazine — and for all Lucas's talk of Joseph Campbell mythological archetypes, the movies contain some probably non-coincidental similarities to the work of Jack Kirby, both from Marvel and DC. Lucas requested Thomas, whom he'd previously met, to write the comic, and also apparently asked for artist Carmine Infantino, who would later pencil the ongoing series, albeit not until after the adaptation of the movie was complete. The first 10 issues of the series were drawn by Howard Chaykin, who'd previously done some similar space-opera adventures, including his original "Ironwolf" strip in DC's WEIRD WORLDS in 1974–1975.

Thomas says in the text page that spreading the adaptation over six issues was his idea. That was generous for a movie adaptation (a few years later, Marvel adapted a variety of feature films, including BLADE RUNNER, in just two issues apiece), and was a fairly risky commercial move, but it paid off handsomely — I'm reasonably sure that this adaptation was by a healthy margin the most successful book Marvel published in the 1970s, going through multiple printings and being repackaged in an assortment of different ways. Unfortunately, this was before Marvel implemented its "incentive" (royalty) program for writers and artists, so it wasn't the windfall for Thomas and Chaykin that it would've been a few years later.

The adaptation isn't Chaykin's best work, although the addition of Steve Leialoha as inker on issues #2 through #6 tightens up the likenesses and gives the line art a greater feeling of solidity. Since the comic was done before the movie was completed, there are some discrepancies, and the adaptation includes several scenes that were dropped from the film, including Luke running to tell his friends about witnessing the battle between Leia and Vader's ships (which Luke has seen through his macrobinoculars) and encountering Biggs. The second issue also includes Han's confrontation with Jabba the Hutt (initially spelled "Hut"), later added in the SW Special Edition. Since Thomas and Chaykin had no idea what Jabba was supposed to look like except that he was an alien, this is what they came up with:

This version of Jabba reappeared twice in later issues of the series (#28 and #37, both penciled by Infantino). When Jabba's appearance was finally canonized in RETURN OF THE JEDI, Marvel made no attempt to explain the difference, which was really just as well. (If you dig around the Wookieepedia wiki, you'll find a rationalization for it that is absolutely NOT reflected in the original comics.)

Thomas and Chaykin also did the earliest post-movie stories, both in the STAR WARS title and serialized in Marvel's PIZZAZZ magazine, although these were not particularly distinguished and are really of interest only as curiosities. Thomas departed before either storyline was completed, with the comic book story wrapped up by Chaykin and Donald Glut and the PIZZAZZ serial continued by Tony DeZuñiga and Archie Goodwin. Goodwin would subsequently become the principal writer of the SW comic book until after THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and of the newspaper strip until 1984.

[pathesisa]

the marketing strategy for wayv members is so wrong and i will try to explain: (this is not hating towards any members i love all of them)

1 - the first member is xiaojun, sm pushing xiaojun into korean market after that man left was a wrong move, he is not the most marketable member for korean people. he is mcing for 1 year and he is the wayv member who gets korean promo only (bare minimum compare to other units) but it doesn't work, never saw him in the brand reputation list; ten and winwin are the only members who made it to the list. anyways xiaojun is a vocalist who should be sent in singing programs korea already has kibum, bambam kind of male idols who have the same career strategy and are obsessed with gg groups yes short viral moments are good but being labeled as this would be bad for his future career because no one gaf about kibums albums in korea they only interesting his entertainer side, xiaojun is most versatile nct vocalist he needs to market himself as a singer more, if he wants korean fame he should sing in korean but even korean singers won't charting there so i think the best market for xiaojun is mainland, my boy is more talented than any chinese mainstream artist rn. he is just talented and needs to focus on his talents more than his entertainer side because it's shadowing his talents. i really want xiaojun release covers every week, i need his angelic voice. [someone asked about his visual, yes his visual is good and my top 3 in the whole nct but he is short and has a big head (idk why this is a beauty standard) which doesn't fit in korea and chinese beauty standards]

2- second one is winwin and probably most complicated member and i'm scared yunqis will attack me, please he and xiaojun are my biases don't attack me. winwin didn't set his foot in korea for months but being on the reputation list proves he is the most marketable member for korea, if i'm not wrong he fits kbs %90 or something, but he never makes friends there, never saw him with any korean idol outside nct members, he makes himself stuck in nct circle in korea, korean people loves handsome boyfriendable cute k-idols and winwin is perfect example for this but unfortunately ww never gaf about korean market all obsessed is chinese market. i went to nct nation at japan he got the most cheers, he was the only member trended on japan twitter, he went viral 3 times he went to japan which is even no wayv and any wayv member trended here because winwin become so popular after he made into japanese national news about his and satomi ishihara similarity, not even have to mention nct life osaka.he is the most popular member in indonesia but only went here 1 time. second most popular member in thailand. ph has his biggest fanbase he never went there. this dude has a terrible career plan, all he wants become popular in mainland china, he need to open his eyes. his manager probably hates him because it's not hard to make an overseas schedule for him.

3- hendery. he is the least interesting wayv member if we have to be honest. he doesn't know how to be a private. after that man left the company he had the most potential to shine but xiaojun handled the post-lucas era better than him. i don't like his and winwin's rap parts in wayv songs, even yangyang's these raps ruining wayv's songs for being pop perfection for me. i dont see a singer or rapper future for him, wukong was a terrible experience. but you know what he has big potential among all wayv members to become popular, he is so an entertainer. he should be sent with winwin into those variety shows instead of that man, he would be x2 big in the mainland rn. i mean with 0 promotions he is the 3rd most popular member in china, having bigger fanbases than xiaojun, kun, and yangyang who have more gigs in their bags. he is so popular in indonesia, i remember he went viral there every day after a hendery fic adapted to an indo-drama. he should consider acting in movies, wong kar wai needs to open his eyes.

4- yangyang.. a big wasted potential. he would be more popular than any chinese idol in korea if he debuted in a korean group.. he is so baby. he is so marketable there, hip-hop alt culture is so popular nowadays he could probably be friends with everyone. but the company made him mark 2.0, with no originality not saying he is the less talented because yangyang is the most talented member in wayv (yes more talented than ten) but the marketing strategy killed his all hype there. this man outrapping the top 2 nct rapper (ijbol) with his 3rd language with ease, but if marketing is wrong you will start 1-0 behind. the other marketing fault is making him ten's sidekick in variety shows, this is why his fanbase never grows. all yangyang stans also love ten they have very common fandoms he needs to promote with different people, 10velys will never let yangyang shine in a show there ten is also there. yall he needs to hang out with some korean dudes outside the nct members and do some collabs, trust me is would benefit him more than those tenyang contents. everyone thinks yangyang is benefiting ten in tenyang collabs but all yangyang get is overshadowed by ten because ten has a huge fanbase. being a duo with ten was the worst thing in his career now all he gets from these, annoying shippers and a hateful fanbase who hates him because they think he is using ten's opportunities. send him in a show as mentor than watched him. my talanted boy!

5- maybe he is not the most popular in any country but he has the biggest potential for his future after wayv because he is friends with every composer, and producer, improving himself, and growing his friend circle. he is the best with these. the friends that winwin, xiaojun, or yangyang made into the industry will never benefit them in the future but having producer friends means you have secured your position. instead of being hyped for 4-5 years and then being forgotten after new idols debuted, i will always prefer people like kun who have stable careers because he will still have the same fanbase even after 10 years. this is why i think he has the best strategy in wayv and dont want quick viral moments like didi line of wayv (hendery, xiaojun, yangyang), all people know him as the member who can do 20 things.

6- ten lee.. ace of the aces. being compared to with the ten lee would be biggest achivement for those nct members yall trying to believe us they are more taleted than him lol. wayv was the biggest miastake for his career. this dude want int fame, being 2000s popstar. relasing a fully english song without thai or chinese version just proving my point. he really dgaf about these markets. he should be debuted as a soloist at the first day now we probably would compare him with the taemin but now people only calling him taemin 2.0 and it's so sad. i think he and winwin really loves wayv because both of them have better chances outside the group but they are still with them. his album is doing so good and break some records and surpassed big soloist like taeyeon, seulgi etc. in spotify numbers. the company need to already start to organize his 2nd album even before wayv album sorry not sorry.

“Alright, let’s do this one last time.”

HAIII!!! WANTED TO RAMBLE ABT MY SPIDERSONA!!!!

“Yo, what’s good? I’m Luca Valrado! I’m Rome’s one and only Solarspider!”

Luca was bit at age 15 while wandering the corridors of Alchemax, where his father is employed at. He was looking for his father, who abandoned him and left him at age 11, wanting answers. He was forced to move in with his older sister, Amani.

Luca who didn’t know about his powers, lived a normal life for about a year. one day during classes, his school was attacked by the Prowler. Luca ran, he hid in a storage closet. He was found by one of the Prowler’s minions. He stuck his hands out, trying to defend himself, causing a string of webs to shoot out and stick to the minions face. The fear evoked in Luca intensified his powers, causing him to shoot webs easier. Luca, however, had no idea about his powers. He didn’t know how to use them. while the Prowler caused havoc, Luca was confused. This villain did not look like the Prowler. Luca had seen the Prowler multiple times on TV. This guy looked.. different. more advanced, even. Luca was panicking, he tried to call Amani, but was getting no answer. A strange red portal opened and scared Luca. Miguel O’hara came out of the portal, tackling the Prowler.

Luca looked at Miguel in amazement. “are you.. like me?” he murmured as he exited the closet. Miguel raised an eyebrow, looking at the teen. “yeah sure, kid. what’s wrong?” “..can you teach me.. how to be like you?”

aaahh hi, i've been a follower for some time now and wanted to spill the beans to say that your art is a great key motivator and inspiration for me. you and a few other artists are the reasons why I got back into drawing and pursuing animation as a career. I'm also gonna start going digital with my art and I would like to ask what app you currently use for your art and how you do your art( i.e. pro tablet, ipad etc.). thank you very much! your art brings me much joy, take care!

Waahh messages like these are really what keep me going, im glad to one of the few that push you back into that art groove, its a pleasure and one of the many reasons why i persue art as a passion 💕 its a pleasure :']

As for what tools i use, recently ive upgraded to an ipad pro + apple pencil, the art program i use is procreate, which doubles as both an art and animation app, and can be finnicky to use at first compared to other programs, but becomes smooth sailing once you get used to it, it also costs 10$, but there are free alternatives! For example, as a beginner I used medibang paint, which is a pretty great app to start off, but this is just my recommendation/the programs im familiar with! There are plenty more choices before you jump straight into buying procreate, the choice is yours :]

In case you're looking for good art sources as well for art/animation tutorials, here are some channels i recommend:

FLP CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY: Lotus Earth on Fire by Lynn Axelrod

On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/lotus-earth-on-fire-by-lynn-axelrod/

Lotus Earth On Fire includes #poems that travel through seasons and around our #Country, through choices and second chances, the joy of friendship, depths of loving attachment. Some poems show us the obstacles many have to be safe, the blessings others live with, and how memory enriches ordinary days. Other poems rely on science or news events to depict Nature’s strength, inventiveness, and how humans, as part of #Nature, can restore some environmental losses. Throughout, we’re shown our essential similarity to other beings such as redwoods, birds, salmon, horses, even wind after wildfire.

Lynn Axelrod has an undergraduate degree in Literature and taught freshman Lit. while in a graduate English program. She has been a lawyer, environmental NGO staffer, weekly newspaper reporter, studio jewelry maker, fundraiser for an undergraduate diversity program, and disaster readiness/community organizer for her local fire department. She’s in a long-running, supportive poetry group. She likes to study history–modern, ancient, and in the arts–volunteers politically and lives in an arts-&-activist community along the Northern California coast.

PRAISE FOR Lotus Earth on Fire by Lynn Axelrod

Lynn Axelrod‘s deeply intelligent and generous collection, Lotus Earth on Fire, serves as an unflinching witness to the hungry and the homeless, to floods, fires, and the untold injustices of man to man. But we are guided through these seasons and tides–of the Earth and individual lives–by a naturalist’s eye and heart. In the end this wide-ranging, multi-layered gathering of “weather-beaten prayers” ushers us into the “greening-joy” of being alive together. As the poet proclaims in the book’s final poem: “This will be our practice,/ to celebrate reconnecting/ & impermanence…”

–Prartho Sereno, author of Indian Rope Trick & Founder of The Poetic Pilgrimage: Poem-Making as Spiritual Practice

Lynn Axelrod’s talent for rendering the feeling of experience in Lotus Earth on Fire intersects with her ability to create lines with a metaphorical reality all their own. With images such as “Pop keeps hands busy across the page / as synapses…swing messages / across gaps like trapeze artists,” (“After the Diagnosis”); “Broken voices reach us on ether / … / still ninety-eight point six but choked / like a ghost with fever (“They Say Fire is a Metaphor”); and “High-stepping New Mexico Northern Jacana / totes his chick underwing to good insect sites” (“Bird Watching”), readers will be captivated and moved by this collection for many years to come.

–Terry Lucas, Poet Laureate Emeritus of Marin County, California

While everyone’s been waiting for the infant update and subsequent expansion pack, I’ve been away giving makeovers/reworks of @pleasantsims​‘ Sims from her save file.

These are only five of the 18 Sims made over. If Don and Cassandra look familiar, that’s because I cloned my makeovers of them to use as bases.

Name: Don Lothario Pronouns: he/him Age: Adult Career/Schooling: Athlete/5 (Bodybuilder Branch) with Biology degree Aspiration: Getting Around Personality: Romance Traits: Romantic, Slob, Active Family: Son of Nicolo and Adriana Lothario, Ex-Husband of Cassandra Goth, Father of Luca, Isabella and Allie Lothario-Goth, and Gianna Caliente Zodiac: Leo Hobby: Fitness Skills: Charisma/5, Fitness/8

For this save, I’m only using base game as well as some other packs for minor things like degrees and reputation. Likes and dislikes won’t be included until later.

Name: Cassandra Goth Pronouns: she/her Age: Adult Career/Schooling: Tech Guru/5 with Physics degree Aspiration: Big Happy Family Personality: Family Traits: Family-Oriented, Genius, Gloomy Family: Daughter of Bella and Mortimer Goth, Mother of Isabella, Allie and Luca Lothario-Goth, Ex-Wife of Don Lothario, Sister of Alexander Goth Zodiac: Virgo Hobby: Paranormal Skills: Programming/5, Video Gaming/4

Though I am fond of the names Cindy gave to each new Sim, most of them to me didn’t feel suitable to each Sim’s age and personality. So I changed most of them. For example, Eva Lothario is now Isabella Lothario-Goth. 

Name: Isabella Lothario-Goth (aka Eva Lothario) Pronouns: she/her Age: Adult Career/Schooling: Freelance Digital Artist Aspiration: Painter Extraordinaire Personality: Romance Traits: Romantic, Goofball, Art Lover Family: Daughter of Cassandra Goth and Don Lothario, Sister of Luca and Allie Lothario-Goth, Romantic Interest of Devin Broke, Half-Sister of Gianna Caliente Zodiac: Libra Hobby: Arts & Crafts Skills: Comedy/3, Painting/4

Primo has been renamed to Luca, in reference to my (yet to be shown) modernized remake of Don. I imagine him as a fashionable, trendy Sim. Did I check how much interest he has in fashion from Cindy’s videos before making him? nope but we don’t talk about that.

Name: Luca Lothario-Goth (aka Primo Lothario) Pronouns: he/him Age: Teen Career/Schooling: High school C student Aspiration: Trend Setter Personality: Fortune Traits: Materialistic, Lazy Family: Son of Don Lothario and Cassandra Goth, Brother of Isabella and Allie Lothario-Goth, Half-Brother of Gianna Caliente Zodiac: Scorpio Hobby: Fashion & Beauty Skills: Charisma/3, Comedy/2

Allie, formerly Rosa, is the "not like other girls *hair tuck*” girl of the save. She and her household’s bio just gave me that energy.

Name: Allison “Allie” Lothario-Goth (aka Rosa Lothario) Pronouns: she/her Age: Teen Career/Schooling: High school B student Aspiration: Hall of Famer Personality: Fortune Traits: Outgoing, Childish Family: Daughter of Cassandra Goth and Don Lothario, Sister of Luca and Isabella Lothario-Goth, Half-Sister of Gianna Caliente Zodiac: Gemini Hobby: Film & Literature Skills: Fitness/2, Photography/2

Surviving Eddie Munson - Epilogue

Steve and Eddie have been living in Providence, Rhode Island for just a little under three years now. With the money awarded to them from their settlements, a combined total reaching just over one hundred thousand dollars, they were able to organize the move and execute it by the end of the year.

Understandably so, the teens were incredibly sad to see them leave. Max refused to speak to them for nearly two weeks before El was able to talk some sense into her. She ended up crying the hardest when they said their goodbyes, which was a feat when considering the amount of emotional distress Dustin was in. The young men made good on their promises to come back and visit, carving out time in their new busy lives to visit for Spring Break of ’87, and almost the entire month of June the same year once school was out.

Nancy and Robin had joined them on that visit, and they turned the ride back into a scenic road trip, enjoying the gorgeous landscape of the Upper Midwest and the entirety of the East Coast. Incredibly fond memories were made that summer, as well as the next. Being just a short hour long drive to Boston, the four friends were able to keep up with their bonds quite easily, blending their two new friendships together as the time passed by.

Their most recent foray to their hometown of Hawkins, Indiana, was for the teens’ high school graduation ceremony. It was an unbearably hot day for early June in ’89, but Steve and Eddie couldn’t be happier for their younger friends. Relatively speaking, they got to experience high school like normal teenagers, blooming into adulthood with a strong sense of self and safety that the two of them had missed out on. But they wouldn’t have it any other way, and did their best to show their love by being the most obnoxious fan-boys when each of the kids walked the stage to receive their diplomas.

All of the young teens’ lives are just beginning, spread across the country now that they have been accepted into and are attending their respective colleges of choice. To no ones surprise, Dustin got into Stanford’s engineering program in California, the little genius that he is. Still going strong all these years later, he and Suzie are finally able to live in the same city, much to their delight.

Max and El found their way to Portland after blindly throwing darts at a map until one landed directly on a city. Neither of them have decided on a major yet and are taking their general education classes at a community college to try and find something that sparks joy.

Lucas stayed in Indiana to remain close to his family, attending Butler university with his girlfriend Lisa. He got in on a full ride sports scholarship and the two of them are top students in the exercise science program.

Mike and Will are still in the Midwest as well after the latter got a generous scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago. Mike decided that higher education isn’t for him, instead focusing on his newfound career as a dog groomer and providing for his boyfriend.

Outside of their trips, Steve and Eddie have built a beautiful life for themselves in their new city. They were able to buy a plot of land and carve out a home with enough room for their family to grow someday, if that ever becomes a possibility for them. For the most part, they have to keep their relationship a secret for safety purposes, but they have found a community in Providence that loves and respects them for who they truly are.

Eddie wasted no time securing a job at another record store, surrounding himself with people just as passionate about music as he is. Within those walls he has found a deep friendship with the owner’s daughter Lori, a fiery young woman who fondly reminded him of Max when they first met. They hit it off immediately, and to their delight they have more than just a passion for music in common. Lori’s girlfriend Alison is her polar opposite, but they balance each other fantastically. She’s a freelance artist, responsible for a good portion of the colorful murals that can be spotted around the city.

Steve took his time deciding what he wanted to do with his future career; the possibilities were seemingly endless, but after learning about their neighbor down the road, he knew he found his calling. Their closest neighbor David, a multi-generational Rhode Islander, is a mechanic by trade. His family’s business began to suffer after his father’s untimely death, unable to manage both the sales and repairs on his own. Steve offered to purchase half of the shop with the rest of his settlement money, and just like that, he became a business co-owner. They work well together, in the sense that Steve knows nothing about how to repair cars, and that David knows nothing about how to talk to people. His better half Patrick, as he would say, takes care of that for him in all other aspects of his life.

Robin and Nancy have gathered a wide array of friends during their time in college, both being social butterflies in their own ways. Living in such a big, new city, the avenues that opened up for the young women let them flourish in their respective personalities. There is a boisterous queer community in Boston for them to seek safety in, and as is the case with Eddie and Steve, the majority of their friend group is also queer in some capacity. They have one friend in specific that they have grown the closest to, a young adult who goes by the name Blake. Robin met them during freshman orientation and the three of them grew close immediately. Blake has been a sort of tour guide for both the city, but as well as the queer community the women are now deeply entwined in. Their new friend is openly gender nonconforming, using neither male nor female pronouns, and has shown the two small town women how to be out and proud about their identities.

When all of their loved ones get the invitation, it was no question as to whether or not they would come to witness their declaration of devotion to one another. Technically speaking, they have been engaged for nearly three years, and decided to finally make it ‘official’ last fall. Alison was more than happy to custom make their save-the-date cards for October 13th, 1989.

After a year of planning, Steve and Eddie are waking up on the morning of their wedding day together in the cottage they have rented for the occasion. They decided to go with a low-key venue tucked deep into the countryside of Rhode Island, with multiple cottages to house their guests, topped off with a large renovated barn to act as a reception hall.

It’s already a gorgeous day when they roll out of bed together; a bright blue sky greets them as they sit on the private balcony connected to their bedroom, cuddling up on the small wicker sofa with matching serene smiles on their faces. There is a soft, nearly chilly breeze that rustles the multicolored trees surrounding the property. The serenity of the peaceful morning doesn’t last for very long however; once the rest of the guests start to wake and emerge, the calm of the mid morning is lost.

Everyone present for the occasion is now currently getting ready in varying states of anxiety and excitement, and the grooms are no exception.

“Where is it!? I swear I put it out on the table last night, what the hell could have happened to it?” Steve is frantically looking for his tie, digging through piles of clothes, opening all of the drawers and cabinets he can, only to run face first into Eddie looming in the doorway to the bathroom.

“Babe. It was on the bathroom counter. Chill for a second with me?” He gently guides Steve by his arm to the bed and sits him down on the edge, taking his partner’s face into his hands lovingly.

“You. Are. Stressing. Me. Out.” He says, emphasizing each word with a gentle squish of Steve’s cheeks.

Rolling his eyes in return, he peels Eddie’s hands from his face to squeeze them tightly in his grasp. “I just want everything to be perfect today, but more importantly, on time.”

“And that’s why we woke up three hours before we even have to leave this room and walk about five hundred feet to the altar. Everything will be perfect, because you’re perfect.”

That seems to do the trick. Steve visibly relaxes his tightly wound body and gives Eddie a chaste kiss on the mouth.

“You’re more perfect,” he mumbles teasingly.

“Don’t you dare start, I won’t be arguing with you on this holy day of matrimony!”

“Darling, there is nothing holy about getting married on Friday the Thirteenth.”

“Exactly why I chose it,” Eddie replies with a satisfied grin.

There was a lot of compromising that had to occur during the planning of this event. They agreed on very few aspects, such as the time, décor, location, etcetera. After months of disagreement, they finally sat down and made a list of what was more important to whom; this is how they wound up with an outdoor wedding in the countryside with black and red decorations on a superstitious holiday.

A knock at the door grabs their attention. Eddie answers it to find Robin and Alison in their pajamas but with their hair fully done and a full face of makeup already applied, a jarring juxtaposition that makes Steve chuckle at the sight.

“Room service!” Alison jokes, holding out a tray of breakfast for the men to enjoy as they get ready for the big day.

“You really didn’t have to…thank you, this is really sweet of you guys,” Eddie replies with a warm smile.

“We are but your humble servants, m’lord.” Robin bows deeply with a pleased grin.

“Really, thank your dad and his wife, they’ve been up all morning cooking breakfast for everyone,” Alison adds on.

“Shit, I should have known he would pull something like this,” he laughs. “I told him this is his time to relax too!”

“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, I’ve missed Wayne’s pancakes,” Steve says wistfully from behind, sneaking over to take the tray into the bedroom.

“Well okay you two, enjoy!” Alison chirps with a small wave.

“See you soon!” Robin sing-songs, practically bounding down the hall to catch up with their mutual friend.

They sit down on the balcony to enjoy their meal, sipping coffee and laughing at the teens’ antics from below. The boys were adamant that they be in charge of setting up the altar, which isn’t going as smoothly as they might have originally hoped.

“A little to the left,” Steve whispers, leaning forward over the railing to watch intently. “Just a smidge and—ooh! That’s gotta hurt,” he leans back into his seat with a breathy laugh.

“Where is El, she’d have this up in ten seconds flat,” Eddie muses from behind the rim of his coffee mug.

“Yes, but then we would have to murder our lovely friends for witnessing a former secret government weapon in action, and I don’t think that is on the to-do list for today.”

“Boo! How dare you use logic,” Eddie jeers with a laugh.

They finish their breakfast and start getting ready, showering together then helping each other get dressed and styling each other’s hair, a routine that they have become so familiarized with it’s nearly as easy as breathing.

Eddie has kept his hair basically the same as it was when he and Steve first met, with gentle tendrils of curls falling over his shoulders and masterfully manipulated bangs sitting over his forehead. He is dressed in black head to toe, as always, except for a pop of a deep burgundy color in the form of his suit’s pocket square. Steve on the other hand has grown into his role as a salesman, keeping his hair trimmed neat and tidy in the back, yet maintaining his nickname as ‘the hair’ with a perfectly styled coif in front. As per the theme, his suit is the yin to Eddie’s yang, a gorgeous dark red with a black pocket square.

The two of them admire each other in the mirror for a while before making their way downstairs. Their cottage is the only one that houses just two people, an intimately cozy two story structure with stone walls and wood floors. Just outside the front door are all of their guests patiently waiting for their arrival, seated in folding chairs. It was impossible for them to choose who to include in the wedding party, so in the end, they decided that everyone is of equal status in the occasion and have no groom’s maids or men. With simple instructions of ‘black or dark red cocktail attire’, the sea of loved ones have taken the dress code to heart, fashionably matching the grooms spectacularly.

Once they open the door to walk down the aisle together arm in arm, their friend Lori takes the cue and starts playing a rendition of Richard Wagner’s Wedding March on her violin in minor key. Everyone rises for their entrance, and the couple is preceded by Holly Wheeler, taking her role as flower girl very seriously by gently tossing a basket of rose petals to mark the path to the altar. Eddie gives her an affectionate fist bump before she returns to her seat next to her family, garnering a few chuckles from the audience.

Hopper, the unofficial officiant, glances between the two men adoringly before clearing his throat to begin the ceremony.

“Friends, family, ghouls, and gremlins,” He waits for the inevitable round of laughter before continuing. “We are gathered here today to witness the commitment of partnership between Eddie and Steve Munson. Thank you all for coming to be a part of this celebration of life, love, and the joining of two souls as one. Marriage is a long held tradition, one that binds two people together with love and devotion, a right that these two men do not yet have access to. Be that as it may, the vows they make today represent an equally important commitment to their partner and will serve as the foundation of their union as one.”

Hopper pauses briefly to turn the page in his leather bound notebook and makes a subtle attempt to wipe away a tear forming in his eye.

“I now ask Steve and Eddie to officially make their commitment to this union.”

He turns to Steve and gives him an encouraging nod. “Do you, Steve Munson, take Eddie Munson to be your life partner? To love and cherish him as long as you live?”

Steve breaks his eye contact with Hopper to turn to Eddie, giving his hands a gentle squeeze. “I do,” he says confidently with a wide grin.

“And do you, Eddie Munson, take Steve Munson to be your life partner? To love and cherish him as long as you live?” Hopper asks with a tender smile.

“Hell yeah I do!” Eddie cheers boisterously, causing a chorus of teary chuckles from the audience. Steve’s shoulders shake with silent laughter as he rolls his eyes in amusement.

Hopper addresses the audience once again while retrieving an ornate box from underneath the podium he is standing at. “The rings you exchange today are the physical embodiment of the love that you share. They represent the commitment and the devotion of yourself to your partner as a continuous, unending band.”

He opens the box to reveal two tungsten carbide wedding bands with each other’s names and their wedding date inscribed on the inside. Presenting the box to Steve, he delicately lifts Eddie’s ring out of the velvet holder, holding it in the palm of his hand before he recites his vows.

“Dearest, darling Eddie,” he begins with a wide smile. “Please take this ring as a token of my love for you above all others. I promise to respect and support you wholeheartedly through whatever challenges life may bring. With his ring, I am yours, forever and always.” He slips the ring onto the appropriate finger, gazing lovingly into his partner’s eyes.

Eddie openly wipes at his eyes with the palms of his hands before taking the remaining ring out of the box. “Steve,” he says breathlessly. “Please take this ring as a token of my love for you above all others. I promise to respect and support you wholeheartedly through whatever challenges life may bring. With this ring, I am yours, you little shit.” He whispers the last part so only Steve can hear, coaxing a wet chuckle out of the other man.

Hopper, close enough to hear as well, snorts at the unexpected addition. “Marriage is a life long commitment that you make to one another. As you devote yourself fully and freely to your partner, remember to make your partner feel loved and appreciated with each new day of your union. Cherish the special feelings, both the good and the bad, and your marriage will evolve into an endless circle of love and support. It is my honor to now officially introduce Mr. and Mr. Munson. You may now seal this union with your first kiss as a married couple!”

The deafening applause resonates all around them as they draw each other in for a loving kiss. Eddie dramatically dips Steve low for a brief moment before setting them upright, each man holding onto each other so tightly as if the other would float away if they let go.

At the behest of Jonathan, they pose for a few pictures at the altar, an abundance of rose petals raining onto them thanks to the efforts of Dustin and Lucas just outside the frame. They make their way through the crowd of loved ones, everyone congratulating them and commenting on the beauty of the moment.

As a group they head over to the barn where they all tirelessly decorated the building the night prior. Their efforts have paid off greatly, transforming the admittedly rustic interior to something dark and magical. Everyone mingles with each other, catching up on the recent events in their lives, buzzing with residual excitement leftover from just witnessing Eddie and Steve’s union. It will be a while yet until it is time for their meal, courtesy of a queer catering company that has just begun to arrive to set things up.

“Henderson!” Steve exclaims when his friend makes his way over to the happy couple, pulling the younger man into his arms for a tight hug. “You’re practically glowing with that tan, California seems to be suiting you well?”

“You don’t even know the half of it, man!”

They chat excitedly about Dustin’s first few months of college, and Steve couldn’t be happier for him; it’s clear that he’s really flourishing in the new environment.

“I don’t think Stanford would be the same without Suzie though,” he remarks, then swivels his head around to try and catch a glimpse of his girlfriend. “Ah! There she is.”

She’s standing in a group with her sister Eden, who is accompanied by her boyfriend Argyle, along with Jonathan and his girlfriend Delilah. The six of them have become close over the years, more especially as of late with Dustin and Suzie relocating close to the other young adults, who have been deeply rooted in San Francisco for a few years now.

They all look happy and healthy, laughing amongst themselves, and the trio greets them with enthusiasm as they reach the group.

“Hi! Oh my gosh, that was so beautiful! I think I went through half a box of tissues just on my own. Oh, where are my manners, my name is Delilah!” Jonathan’s girlfriend babbles before exuberantly shaking Steve and Eddie’s hands.

“It’s nice to finally meet you,” Steve says earnestly, shooting a knowing glance at Jonathan. For many of the couples present, these two are no exception to the rule that opposites attract.

“Long time no see,” Eddie says with a wry grin, giving Argyle and Jonathan quick fist bumps. The last time they were all together in one place the three of them tried out-smoking each other, resulting in a truly spectacular night of buffoonery.

“You both look absolutely stunning. I love the decorations, by the way!” Eden says excitedly, giving each of the men a brief hug.

“Of course you’d say that,” Suzie replies teasingly. “I have to agree with my sister though, it’s like walking into a really fancy vampire’s house.”

Eddie gasps, a hand flying up to his chest theatrically. “That is exactly what I was going for!”

Lucas and Erica join them to give their congratulations, also commenting on the choice of décor.

“It fits your vibe perfectly,” Erica remarks, pointing at Eddie. “But princess over here? How did you get him to agree to it?” The young teen scoffs at the thought of Steve having any input in the dark theme.

“Hey! I can be all cool and mysterious too,” Steve protests at the remark.

Everyone stares at him wordlessly before Eddie barks out a laugh that catapults the group into a contagious bout of laughter.

“There were compromises to be had, that’s for sure. Let’s just say that we both got what we wanted out of this.”

“Oh, Lucas, sorry about Lisa by the way. We were so bummed when you told us she got the flu,” Steve says when he remembers why his girlfriend is absent.

“Thanks man, she was really upset too. I wanted to stay to keep her company, but she wasn’t having any of it, something about not needing a man to take care of her,” he responds with a sheepish shrug.

“She’s got that right!” Erica exclaims, to which the women present wholeheartedly agree, much to their respective boyfriend’s chagrin.

They part with the group and make their way around the reception to greet some of the other guests. Max and El give them a crushing hug, nearly falling over with the force of it. The girls have grown up into happy and carefree young women, a sight that Steve and Eddie are proud to see.

“I can’t wait to get these photos developed, you guys were making THE stupidest faces up there,” Max says gleefully, taking the opportunity to snap another candid picture of them with her disposable camera.

“What she really means is that you guys looked great!” El corrects in attempt to save their feelings, like the sweetheart she is.

“No, I think she meant it,” Eddie says with affection. “Max just tells people she loves them in her own special way.”

“She never says anything mean like that to me, though,” El responds with a small frown.

“That’s because I love-love you, BIG difference!” Max says quickly with a kiss to her girlfriend’s cheek, leaving behind a lipstick stain. “Unless you want me to be mean to you?”

“I think I prefer things the way they are,” she replies with a dreamy smile on her face.

Mike and Will come to greet the happy couple, joining the four of them and doling out another round of hugs. Steve is still a little surprised at how mature they look, growing from the once tiny middle-schoolers into the young men standing before him. Mike has now surpassed his and Eddie’s heights, something that they probably should have seen coming.

“So, you two are next, right?” Eddie jokes with an impish grin that lights Will’s face on fire and has Mike stumbling over his words.

“Woah, relax you guys,” Steve snickers, and the two young men look between themselves in silent communication before speaking at the same time.

“Well, I mean, like--”

“The thing is--”

“We…are?” Will blurts out quickly with a grimace.

“We just didn’t want to overshadow your day with the news, is all. We were planning on telling everyone tomorrow,” Mike clarifies with a stiff shrug.

“Are you serious! That’s amazing,” Steve shouts, pulling them in for yet another embrace.

“It’s not a competition, you guys,” Eddie remarks with a small chuckle.

They part ways to move onto the next group, giving the couple full permission to tell anyone they please, regardless of the day’s occasion. Nancy and Robin ambush them on their way to talk to their local friends, linking arms with the two men.

“Well hello there, Mr. and Mr. Munson, how do you do?” Robin greets cheerfully.

“Hello you two, enjoying yourselves?” Eddie asks suspiciously.

“Of course! This is a wonderful day, bound to get better as the time goes on,” Nancy says cryptically.

“Alright, spit it out,” Steve demands, eyeing his friends in an attempt to figure out what their motives are.

“We were thinking,” they say at the same time before pausing to laugh.

“Later, perhaps some of us could take a little jaunt into the woods together?” Robin asks rhetorically. “A little birdie told me that some of our guests have brought some fantastic souvenirs from their state of residence.”

“That little birdie being me, of course,” Lori says once they’ve made their way over to their group of Rhode Islanders.

“Fast friends with Argyle, huh? Should have seen that one coming from a mile away,” Eddie says knowingly.

“I knew I heard something in the woods last night!” Steve exclaims, feeling like he just found a missing puzzle piece.

“If it’s anything like the stuff you guys brought back from California last year, I’m SO in,” David agrees readily.

“Count me out,” Patrick says with a chuckle. “Any of your other adult friends sober?”

“Will, El, Suzie, and hopefully Dustin; lord knows he doesn’t need the encouragement. And Blake, but you guys knew that already.” Robin lists off the names, counting on her fingers.

“Delilah, too,” Steve adds on. “So you’ll have plenty of folks to commiserate with over our illicit activities.” He waggles his brows teasingly.

“I can keep you company, Patrick,” Alison offers. “I have a feeling that I’m going to be taking care of this one for the rest of the day anyways.” She pats her girlfriend’s arm lovingly where they’re linked together.

They all laugh at Lori’s aggrieved expression, fully knowing that Alison is correct in her assumption.

It takes them a while to peel themselves away from their boisterous friend group to continue to greet their beloved guests. Nearly all of the parents and guardians present are gathered in a group, talking amongst themselves and turn to congratulate the newlyweds in unison when they approach.

Claudia Henderson draws both of them in for a brutally tight hug, nearly squeezing the life out of them. She’s still got a tissue clutched in her hand, clearly deeply moved by the occasion.

“I can’t help it, I’m just so happy for you boys!” She cries out. “But it’s so bittersweet, you deserve to be able to get married the real way!”

Eddie furrows his brows and draws her in for another hug, patting her back to console her. “This is more than we could have ever dreamed of, don’t worry about things like that. Maybe one day we will be able to sign a piece of paper, but this is more real for us than a simple document could ever be.”

“I couldn’t have said it better myself,” Steve agrees with a warm smile.

They are discussing their favorite moments from the ceremony when Holly runs up to get her mother’s attention for something seemingly urgent.

“Speaking of the little ghoul,” Eddie says, beaming down at the Wheeler’s youngest child. “My favorite part was our flower girl here. I can’t think of a single other person who could have executed the role better than you, Holly.”

She blushes at the praise and smiles shyly in return, earning a round of additional sentiments from the other adults. Karen Wheeler escorts her away when it is revealed she’s lost her headphones.

“Won’t be long until you’ve got one of your own,” Ted Wheeler remarks sagely.

“Pardon me if this is insensitive, but how exactly would you go about having a child together?” Charles Sinclair asks politely, a question that the couple has thought about on their own several times.

“Charles!” His wife, Sue Sinclair, exclaims out of embarrassment.

“No, it’s alright, we’re not offended at all! We’re really open to talking about these sorts of things, it’s a valid question,” Steve replies sincerely. “There are a lot of different ways that we could have children together, but we are leaning towards surrogacy. It’s still going to be a while before we start that chapter, so for now we take any chance we get to dote on the kids already present in our lives.”

“We’ve had enough experience with those gremlins to know that we want to wait as long as possible before becoming parents.” Eddie gestures to the group of teens currently clambering all over each other outside.

The older adults laugh in agreement, knowing first hand how much of a trouble it is to raise those kids.

“So how did you find out about this place?” Joyce asks inquisitively. “I thought we were reading the map wrong for a good twenty minutes on our way out here in the rental,” she adds on.

“This land actually belongs to our good friend David’s family. They renovated it a couple years back and have been using it as a wedding venue ever since,” Eddie says, pointing out the man in question in the crowd.

“That’s actually how he met his boyfriend, Patrick,” Steve supplies excitedly. “His father was the contractor for the project; they like to say that it was love at first construction site.”

“Oh, that’s horribly charming,” Susan exclaims. “David is the mechanic, correct?”

“The one and only; he’s the brawn to my brains at our shop,” Steve nods in confirmation.

“I ‘spose we can assume Alison had a hand with all the decorations?” Wayne asks from his spot next to his wife, admiring the room.

“She wouldn’t let us take no for an answer,” Eddie replies with a laugh. “We even tried paying her, to no avail. Honestly, if it weren’t for our friends, this entire shindig would be a hell of a lot more expensive than it turned out to be.”

There is a generous amount of truth to his words. Nearly every facet of the occasion has been either heavily discounted or outright given to them for free as a gift; the most expensive being the caterers. And even then, they got twenty percent off due to the fact that the owner is one of Blake’s cousins.

Speaking of whom, they’re over by the banquet table chatting with their cousin right now while the caterers finish up setting out the food.

“There you guys are!” Blake ushers the couple closer to meet their cousin Amy in person for the first time. All communication so far has been done over the telephone, so Steve and Eddie give Blake’s cousin a warm welcome and words of gratitude.

“I’ve heard a lot about you two over the last couple of years, it’s nice to be able to put a face to the stories!” Amy says cheerfully, shaking their hands with gusto.

“Oof, do I even want to know…?” Steve asks, grimacing at all of the potential embarrassing stories his friend could have told their cousin.

“Nothing but praise, I promise,” Blake says with a sly smile.

“Knowing you, I’m not so sure about that,” Eddie retorts with a nervous chuckle.

Due to Blake’s natural gravitational pull towards chaos and disaster, they have gotten their Indianan friends into some bizarre scenarios since the five of them met. It’s to the point where Patrick has affectionately banned them from his house after what happened during his last New Year party.

“It was so lovely to meet you both, but I really need to get going. If you could believe it, we have three other weddings to attend to this afternoon! We’ll be back tomorrow morning to collect everything.” With that, Blake’s cousin is off in a flurry, leaving the three of them to admire the handiwork displayed on the table.

Everyone takes turns grabbing plates of food and make their way to sit down to enjoy the meal. A cluster of round tables is gathered in the middle of the room and the group seats themselves without arrangement, some even moving between tables to join a different conversation once everyone has gotten their fill to eat.

Nancy is the first to make a toast, drawing attention to herself with a gentle tap of a butter knife against the rim of her wine glass.

“I just wanted to say a few words,” she says, clearing her throat delicately. “I am so lucky to be able to call these two wonderful men dear friends of mine. The fierce love you show each other every day is unparalleled, visible in each choice you make and interaction you have. Even before this beautiful day, you have committed yourselves to each other fully, a genuine bond that will last a life time and more. Congratulations to Steve and Eddie!”

There is a round of applause after her speech, and each of the guests who wish to speak take their turn doing so. By the end of the toasts there is not a dry eye in the house from the words uttered by the couple’s family and friends.

The sun is just starting to set once everyone has cleared the tables the best they can, gathering outside for group photos courtesy of Jonathan. As if it were a wedding gift, the sky is bursting with a myriad of colors, providing a magical backdrop to cement this day into one-of-a-kind photos. It’s not long before everyone begins to get restless for entertainment, seeing as those of age have begun to grow tipsy from the alcohol provided.

They all break off into groups once more, the variety of entertainment provided giving everyone something fun to enjoy. Steve finds himself pulled away from Eddie for the first time today at the request of Dustin and El, demanding he dance with them. Argyle is at the helm of the modest sound system, courtesy of Lori and Eddie’s workplace, expertly spinning records as well as he can spin pizza dough. Some of the other guests join them in their endeavor, breaking out into dance.

Eddie on the other hand is dragged away by Max and Lucas, requesting that he partake in the bag toss tournament just outside the barn doors. He readily agrees, defeating the competition with ease with his remarkably precise aim. That is until his fater challenges him, the very same man who taught him all he knows in the way of sports. Once he takes the reign as champion, Eddie finds Steve to defend his honor.

“I’m not the all-star sports champion I used to be,” he protests weakly, not wanting to get creamed by his father either.

“What, don’t tell me you afraid or somethin’?” Wayne teases, easily sparking a light under Steve’s competitive nature.

“Oh, in that case, you’re goin’ down old man!”

They produce quite the crowd of people to witness the duel, and some even get rowdy when they start to take sides and make bets. It is Wayne who comes out victorious in the end, defending his place as the bag toss tournament winner, but it’s a close match.

Afterwards, Argyle calls Steve and Eddie back into the barn so that they can have their first dance as a married couple. They embrace warmly and sway to The Rose by Bette Midler, one of the only things about their wedding that they agreed upon early on in the planning process. It’s sappy, and sweet, and everything they could have hoped for in a ‘first dance.’

When it is time to cut the cake they insist that everyone gets a piece before they do, serving everyone from youngest to oldest much to the delight of Holly. It’s a lovely red rose inspired three tiered wedding cake, with a custom made topper that looks nearly identical to the men in their current outfits.

The evening grows longer and colder, causing some of the guests to retire to bed earlier than the others, but not before more congratulations and affections for the happy couple. Hopper wrangles them into a bear hug, outwardly showing more affection than he typically does due to his inclination towards the wine provided.

“Thanks again, for everything,” Eddie says sincerely, patting the other man on his back.

“Can I officiate again, when it’s legal?” Hopper asks with a truly harrowing display of puppy dog eyes.

Steve just laughs, pulling him in for another hug. “You’ll be the first call, if it ever happens.”

“When!” Hopper corrects, pointing a finger in his face when they pull apart. “Not if. When.”

They wave goodnight when Joyce has to all but pry him off of the newlyweds, and Steve and Eddie watch with fondness as the older couple retires to their cottage for the night.

With the group that is left, it’s time for the night to continue on in an illicit fashion. So as not to make a horrible mess on their admittedly expensive clothes, everyone agrees to go change into something more casual before taking the party into the woods surrounding the venue. Those who choose to not partake in certain activities stay behind and play games reminiscent of their childhoods, such as Truth or Dare.

“Holy fuck you guys, where the hell did you get this stuff?” Steve asks after hacking up a lung, shakily passing the joint to the person to his left.

“Can you keep a secret bro?” Argyle asks seriously, eyes rimmed red already.

There is a murmur of agreement, curious to know what he will say next.

“I grow my own shit, man!” He reveals with excitement.

“Isn’t that like…sort of really a lot dangerous though?” Nancy inquires, leaning against Robin from where she is sat between her girlfriend’s legs.

“Only if you get caught,” Jonathan replies with a smirk.

“All the good shit in life is illegal,” Blake adds on.

“Amen! Mist…sist…wait, what should I call you?” Argyle pauses in consideration, unsure of which of the two words to use.

“Hmm,” They pause to think about it for a moment before deciding. “How about captain?”

“Alright, aye-aye cap’n!” Argyle corrects himself, giving them a proud salute.

They all laugh heartily at the exchange, heavily buzzed with the introduction of the drug into their systems.

“And that’s on being a true ally,” David quips quietly, earning another round of laughter from the queer folk present.

“So what’s next in line for you guys?” Mike asks the newlyweds.

“Good fuckin’ question,” Eddie retorts, scratching his chin in contemplation.

“We’ve been talking about getting a dog?” Steve offers with a half shrug.

“Bo-ring,” Lucas boos with an aggressive thumbs down.

“Ahh, the married life,” Eddie jokes, tugging Steve in for a sweet kiss.

“I say you guys go on another kick ass vacation, and take us with this time,” Lori insists. “I’ve always wanted to see the West Coast!”

“You’re more than welcome to stay at our place if you ever find your way out there,” Eden offers generously. “A friend of Eddie and Steve’s is a friend of me’s!”

“Sold, let me pack my bags real quick,” the other woman retorts jokingly.

“Hey, that would be really fun actually,” Max says. “We could go visit where I grew up, make like a whole thing out of it?”

“That would be a hell of a procession,” Nancy comments. “Just imagining it now…it would take, what, five cars minimum probably?”

“Or I can finally buy that RV I’ve been begging to for the last three years,” Steve says dreamily.

“Oh no, now you’ve done it, just look at him!” Eddie cries sarcastically.

“Sorry Eddie, looks like Steve gets to buy that RV,” Robin says with faux-sympathy.

“Ahh…the married life…”

Everyone laughs at the exchange until their bellies ache. They continue smoking for a little while longer before stumbling their way through the woods and to the venue. When meeting back up with the others, they all agree to call it a night, sleepy from such a long day of joy and excitement.

Steve is lying on the end of the bed with his legs dangling off the side of it when Eddie returns from the bathroom. He kneels between Steve’s knees, running his palms up the other man’s bare thighs seductively. When his partner barely even registers the touch, he snorts out a laugh and climbs up on the bed with him.

“Too tired to consummate our union?” He teases lovingly, carding his fingers through Steve’s hair.

“Mmmh no, I’m up, I swear…” Steve replies softly, barely able to crack an eye open.

“You are so high right now my dude,” Eddie snickers, pulling Steve up to lay on the bed properly by his armpits.

“I’m sorry baby,” he breathes out, nuzzling into Eddie’s side affectionately. The other man merely pats his shoulder and settles into the bed further.

“Don’t be sorry,” he chuckles. “We have all the time in the world to do as we please, it was only a joke. I’m happy to just simply be here with you.”

“So good to me,” Steve mumbles, pressing a kiss onto the nearest patch of skin he can find.

“Buuut,” Eddie draws out, already smirking at the thought. “If you wanted to make it up to me…”

“Yeah?”

“We could do that thing we’ve been talking about lately,” he finishes suggestively, earning a sleepy laugh out of his partner.

“Yeah, okay. I was gonna say yes the next time you asked anyways,” Steve admits.

“Damn! I should have gone for higher stakes.”

Steve and Eddie stay up for as long as they can until succumbing to sleep. The next day, all of their guests join them for breakfast before parting ways. The large majority of their family and friends leave to catch flights at various times throughout the day, but not before one large group photo to commemorate their time spent to witness the union of love.

It isn’t until their 25th anniversary that Steve and Eddie marry each other legally, bringing everyone back to the same countryside venue for a renewal of vows. Their large found family has grown even larger by then with the addition of a few new partners and a myriad of children. This includes their own daughter Rose, who by October 13th, 2014 is as old as Steve was when he and Eddie first met all those fateful years ago in Hawkins, Indiana.

999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz by Heather Dune Macadam

On March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women, many of them teenagers, boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report for government service and left their parents’ homes wearing their best clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Instead, the young women were sent to Auschwitz. Only a few would survive. Now acclaimed author Heather Dune Macadam reveals their stories, drawing on extensive interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an important addition to Holocaust literature and women’s history.

The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku

Eddie Jaku always considered himself a German first, a Jew second. He was proud of his country. But all of that changed in November 1938, when he was beaten, arrested, and taken to a concentration camp. Over the next seven years, Eddie faced unimaginable horrors every day, first in Buchenwald, then in Auschwitz, then on a Nazi death march. He lost family, friends, his country. Because he survived, Eddie made the vow to smile every day. He pays tribute to those who were lost by telling his story, sharing his wisdom, and living his best possible life. He now believes he is the 'happiest man on earth'.

The Auschwitz Photographer by Luca Crippa & Maurizio Onnis

Poland, 1939. Professional photographer Wilhelm Brasse is deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau and finds himself in a deadly race to survive, assigned to work as the camp's intake photographer and take "identity pictures" of prisoners as they arrive by the trainload. Brasse soon discovers his photography skills are in demand from Nazi guards as well, who ask him to take personal portraits for them to send to their families and girlfriends. Behind the camera, Brasse is safe from the terrible fate that so many of his fellow prisoners meet. But over the course of five years, the horrifying scenes his lens capture, including inhumane medical "experiments" led by Josef Mengele, change Brasse forever.

The Sisters of Auschwitz by Roxane van Iperen

Eight months after Germany’s invasion of Poland, the Nazis roll into The Netherlands, expanding their reign of brutality to the Dutch. But by the Winter of 1943, resistance is growing. Among those fighting their brutal Nazi occupiers are two Jewish sisters, Janny and Lien Brilleslijper from Amsterdam. Risking arrest and death, the sisters help save others, sheltering them in a clandestine safehouse in the woods that they called “The High Nest.” This secret refuge would become one of the most important Jewish safehouses in the country, serving as a hiding place and underground center for resistance partisans as well as artists condemned by Hitler.

Boom Bap !!!!

Picture : https://soundcloud.com/crank-lucas/boom-bap

   Boom bap is a genre of hip-hop music that originated on the East Coast of the United States in the 1980s. The onomatopoeic sound of a kick drum and snare, which are the dominant elements of the music, is referred to as "boom bap". Boom bap productions feature precisely sliced drums programmed with swing quantization for a funky effect, rather than the full-on breakbeats of hip hop in the late 1980s. Producers from this era, such as Pete Rock, DJ Premier and J Dilla, are considered some of the most innovative when it comes to creative sampling. Their work has had a huge influence on hip hop and other sample-based genres. The album Return of the Boom-bap by Krs-One and artists signed to the Duck Down record label are some notable examples of boom-bap music. The phrase "With a kick, snare, kicks and high hat, Skilled in the trade of that old boom bap" is originally from the A Tribe Called Quest song "We Can Get Down". Boom bap has had a lasting impact on the culture of hip hop and continues to be a prominent style within the genre.

    Boom Bap is a term used to describe a style of jazzy East Coast hip-hop from the "golden age" of the genre. According to KRS One, the term was first heard in T La Rock's 1984 song "It's Yours." Around the 3:53 mark, you can hear T La Rock sing "boom, bap, boom-boom bap," with "boom" representing the sound of the kick drum and "bap" representing the sound of the snare drum.

    In addition, DJ Premier shared a story in which Grandmaster Flash told him that if it's hip-hop, it has to be "boom, bap, boom-boom bap." This emphasizes how the concept of Boom Bap imitates the sounds of drums and highlights the energy and impact of the kick and snare drums in hip-hop music.

Beats/Rhythm

    The rhythm of Boom Bap reflects the sounds of the streets and is often sampled from breakbeats that formed the basis of Hip Hop music in the 1970s. Typically, the producers will sample the part of the breakbeat that doesn't have vocals in between the funk and soul music and loop it to make it a part of the Boom Bap song. Additionally, sometimes producers will layer different drum sets from different songs to create a louder drum sound.

Vocal

    As there is usually no melody or singing in these songs, rap is one of the main focuses. Rap originated from the MCs in the early Hip Hop culture, who used wordplay, metaphors, multisyllabic rhyme, or boasting techniques to showcase their abilities. In addition, many rappers use their songs to express their ideas, such as Public Enemy and Paris, who focus on creating politically and socially conscious music, while Native Tongues explores African-American culture and self-awareness.

Scratch

    Scratching is a technique of producing rhythmic sounds or beats by moving a record back and forth on a turntable, and the crossfader on a mixer can be used to gradually fade in and out between two turntables. In Hip Hop culture, scratching is a standard for measuring DJ skills. The sound of scratching is prevalent in Boom Bap music, and there's no one better known for it than DJ Premier.

Sample

    When producing Boom Bap music, producers typically use samplers or music production software to sample various sounds from funk, jazz, and soul music, such as rhythms, melodies, vocals, or even a dialogue or shout. In 1988, the first Akai MPC was introduced, which was an affordable sampler with an intuitive interface that made it easier for more people to access the art of sampling.

New Releases

Four new books to round out the month of June, just in time to take to the beach.

The Dream Runners by Shveta Thakrar Harper Collins

Seven years ago, Tanvi was spirited away to the subterranean realm of Nagalok, where she joined the ranks of the dream runners: human children freed of all memory and emotion, charged with harvesting mortal dreams for the consumption of the naga court.

Venkat knows a different side of Nagalok. As apprentice to the influential Lord Nayan, he shapes the dream runners’ wares into the kingdom’s most tantalizing commodity. And Nayan has larger plans for these mortal dreams: with a dreamsmith of Venkat’s talent, he believes he can use them to end a war between nagas and their ancient foe, the garudas.

But when one of Tanvi’s dream harvests goes awry, she begins to remember her life on Earth. Panicked and confused, she turns to the one mortal in Nagalok who can help: Venkat. And as they search for answers, a terrifying truth begins to take shape—one that could turn the nagas’ realm of dreams into a land of waking nightmare.

The Black Girls Left Standing by Juliana Goodman Feiwel & Friends

Sixteen-year-old Beau Willet has dreams of being an artist and one day leaving the Chicago projects she’s grown up in. But after her older sister, Katia, is killed by an off-duty police officer, Beau knows she has to clear her sister’s name by finding the only witness to the murder; Katia’s no-good boyfriend, Jordan, who has gone missing. If she doesn’t find him and tell the world what really happened, Katia’s death will be ignored, like the deaths of so many other Black women who are wrongfully killed.

With the help of her friend, Sonnet, Beau sets up a Twitter account to gather anonymous tips. But the more that Beau finds out about her sister’s death, the more danger she finds herself in. And with a new relationship developing with her childhood friend, Champion, and the struggle to keep her family together, Beau is soon in way over her head. How much is she willing to risk to clear her sister’s name and make sure she’s not forgotten?

Godslayers (Gearbreakers #2) by Zoe Hana Mikuta Feiwel Friends

The only way to kill a god is from the inside...

The Gearbreakers struck a devastating blow against Godolia on Heavensday, but the cost of victory has been steep. Months later, the few rebels who've managed to escape the tyrannical empire's bloody retribution have fled to the mountains, hunted by the last Zenith--Godolia's only surviving leader. Eris has been held prisoner since the attack on the capital city, which almost killed her. And she begins to wish it had when she discovers Sona--the girl she loves, the girl she would tear down cities for--also survived, only to be captured and Corrupted by the Zenith. The cybernetic brainwashing that Sona has forcibly undergone now has her believing herself a loyal soldier for Godolia, and Eris' mortal enemy. With the rebellion shattered and Godolia moving forward with an insidious plan to begin inducting Badlands children into a new Windup Pilot program, the odds have never been more stacked against the Gearbreakers. Their last hope for victory will depend on whether Eris and Sona can somehow find their way back to each other from opposite sides of a war...

Bad Things Happen Here by Rebecca Barrow Margaret K. McElderry Books

Luca Laine Thomas lives on a cursed island. To the outside world, Parris is an exclusive, idyllic escape accessible only to the one percent. There’s nothing idyllic about its history, though, scattered with the unsolved deaths of young women—deaths Parris society happily ignores to maintain its polished veneer. But Luca can’t ignore them. Not when the curse that took them killed her best friend, Polly, three years ago. Not when she feels the curse lingering nearby, ready to take her next.

When Luca comes home to police cars outside her house, she knows the curse has visited once again. Except this time, it came for Whitney, her sister. Luca decides to take the investigation of Whitney’s death into her own hands. But as a shocking betrayal rocks Luca’s world, the identity Whitney’s killer isn’t the only truth Luca seeks. And by the time she finds what she’s looking for, Luca will come face to face with the curse she’s been running from her whole life.

[mmultiversal]

Multiversal is back with another summer retreat, this time in Besançon, France! Open air, camping and a lot of noise in the countryside! A gathering at Le Moulin des Buthiers, hosted by Atelier de L'Etoile, aiming to create an environment of co-existence between different parties and performers coming from different realities which might not cross each other in predefined scenes, meeting and giving possibilities to unexpected ad hoc scenarios in an (un)controlled environment, logistically supported by BUSS: Big & Ugly Soundsystem and Multiversal. A weekend, where the distinction between the organisers, the helpers, the performers and the audience disappear, at high and low volumes, on various stages using the vast possibilities of a confined space including outdoors and indoors at a fantastic location which hosted previously various Atelier de L'Etoile events, Bruitisme Festival, as well as another Multiversal Summer Retreat last year. Closer to the date we would announce a predifined program which would be enhanced with the possibilities of open slots for on site first time meetings and other tryouts. No genre limitations, no cultural borders/pipelines, no rockstars; an egalitarian scene where the curiosity and research are encouraged. The complete line up is subject to change as we are open to musicians and performers joining the very last minute. Please keep in mind that this doesn't mean we have an open stage, but rather keeping the door open for an organised chaos. If you are willing to partecipate, or want more information, please get in touch with us via e-mail, on [email protected], with the event name "Multiversal Summer Retreat in Besançon, Again" in the subject line. Moulin des Buthiers offer some roof, but you are very welcome to bring your own tent. Facilities are there for everyone's use.
