Feeling myself radicalize into a Lonnie Machen Defense Blog…

#I’m noticing a trend here. #and it’s being annoyed that the poor characters in Batman comics get treated like garbage. #look. #Jason Todd #poor homeless kid who gets beaten to death by the joker. #Stephanie Brown #poor kid who only wants to do right by the whole who gets tortured to death by Black Mask. #Lonnie Machen #originally tapped to replace Jason as Robin—​poor kid who wants to fix the social problems in Gotham #rich kid Tim Drake ends up Robin instead and Lonnie constantly gets shoved into #Both Sides Are Bad/Angry People Are The Real Problem plots #(-_-) #also Harper Row—literally a blue collar worker to support her fam—was tapped to be Robin. #GUESS WHO DIDNT GET TO BE ROBIN. #THE POOR KID. #Clownhunter—kid from Crime Alley—is Ghost-maker’s Robin now. #so we’ll see how that goes. #if Clownhunter dies… #and the narrative twists itself into pretzels so Ghost-maker doesn’t kill whoever does it… #because he believes in Bruce or Batman or whatever… #I AM GOING TO GO BANANAS.

Lonnie's 'in case of my death' note from shadow of the bat #41 which according to @lesbiananitafite reads a hell of a lot like a suicide note because he is Not Normal, written out below because it is so hard to read as is:

It looks like tonight must have been that night. I know I've caused you a lot of pain and grief over the past couple of years, and I'm sorry for that. You thought you were bringing me up to be the All-American boy, playing ball on the weekends, studying hard to be a doctor or lawyer. Instead you got a criminal. My memory is tainted, my good intentions derided. And, probably, I'm dead.

How to begin to explain how I feel? The world is like an alien planet to me, the brittle laughter and hollow fun of a theme park overlaying the nightmares of war and discrimination and brutality. The people society respects-- the great and the good-- are, in most part, the small and the evil to me. It's as if I see with laser eyes, burning away the surface illusions that hide the fact that we're zombies-- puppets controlled by somebody else. Again I'm sorry, because I know you're upset. You're good people-- nearly everybody is good people-- and that's what the elite take advantage of. But society is changing. The information revolution allows every man to see the great and good are no better than him. The old power structures and their fascist ways cannot compete with the anarchy of tomorrow's technology. The time of the common man is coming. No longer will he have to march to battle as fodder for bankers and arms makers. No longer will he live in a fog of deceit stoked up by politicians' lies. The future is freedom... and all I ever wanted was to hasten its birth.

I think it all began with Xuasus. I was eleven when he became my penpal... Every month I wrote to tell him the wonders of America-- Every month he wrote back with tales of hovels and soldiers and the brutal repression that made up his life. After a year, his letters suddenly stopped. Mine were returned "Not Known." Another year passed before I found out why he Xuasus wrote once more, a single sheet scribbled in some seedy back alley. His father had been arrested and not heard from since. His mother took ill. His sister died of malnourishment. At the age of 11, Xuasus was fending for himself on the streets. Remember I asked you to help me find him, Dad? You said it was another country, the rules were different there. We could do nothing. But I couldn't just forget a friend like that. I started to haunt the library. I found out Xuasus' country was a dictatorship, at war with Marxist guerillas, with ordinary people caught in the crossfire. I found out the guns came from Europe, and Russia... and here. A few men made big profits, while half a world away, poor people suffered. I read about war and the history of war, and the psychology of war, and the horrors of war. You never knew it but--

That's when I went through those months of nightmares. Remember? Anyway, I soon realized something-- almost all wars were caused by only one man, or one small group of men. And every time the elites ordered 'Fight!' it was the ordinary men who became canon fodder-- and ordinary families followed him into oblivion.

I learned that the state is more important than the individual. I learned that politics is soaked in blood. But I couldn't accept that it had to be that way. Remember how crazy I was about books, Dad? I used to make you take me to the bookstore every Saturday. Flying saucers, cults, conspiracy theory, religion, the occult... I drank it up, tried in vain to make sense of it all. Then I discovered Scudder Klyce's "Universe" and the jigsaw finally fell into place.

Scudder Klyce worked out the secret of humanity. Vox populi, Vox Del. The voice of the people is the voice of God. The elites are parasites, vampires sucking on the life-blood of man, turning everything good and decent into foul corruption! That's when Anarky was born. I couldn't help Xuasus-- but I could give the people of Gotham a voice, no matter how small, against the forces that oppress them.

--If I am dead, please don't think ill of me. I only wanted to bring a little sanity into an insane world for a little while, I was something no one else had ever been... the voice of the people. One day-- and it won't be long-- the tyrants will die away, scorned and mocked by their former victims. One day you'll see that I'm right; maybe then you'll be proud to say "My son did that."

All my love, Anarky (alias Lonnie Machin)

Ripping off EAH is a bad idea. The makers WILL sue!!

Bold of you to assume that Mattel cares about the franchise they gave up on. It's not even a candidate for rebooting like Monster High.

Also can we stop acting like EAH was some treasured passion project of a struggling indie developer or something? It's owned by Mattel! The company that just put out the Barbie movie! The company literally could not be doing better.

Besides. “Daughter of the Queen of Hearts” and “daughter of Cinderella” aren’t copyrighted by Mattel (in fact, Darling Charming isn’t the daughter of Cinderella! The EAH Charming family specifically has no relation to Cinderella.) There’s enough established in Descendants to argue that all similarities are just coincidence. Sporty girls with swords? Done before (see: Lonnie in the second movie.) Besides, Lizzie and Darling never actually had an adventure together I think...

There's also that Ever After High isn’t the only “school for children of fairy tales” there is. There's The School for Good and Evil (a six-book series likely more well-known for an astoundingly subpar Netflix adaptation) and Regal Academy, among others. EAH vs. Descendants aside, no company *owns* the idea of “school for fairy-tale/public-domain characters kids.”

Which, yes, literally all the parents of EAH are public domain. Disney had the opportunity for using Disney trademark names like Maleficent, Lady Tremaine, etc. but their character bases are still public domain (Sleeping Beauty’s 13th fairy and Cinderella’s stepmother, respectively.) Descendants also gets to involve some Disney-specific tales like 101 Dalmatians. But EAH also got to pull in some tales that Disney never covered, like Jack and the Beanstalk (...whatever happened to that Gigantic movie?), Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and Thumbelina.

Also if you expect me to believe that some EAH designs weren’t Disney ripoffs to begin with, no. Because look at this:

This is original concept art for Rosabella Beauty, daughter of Beauty and the Beast! But wanna see what she looks like in the actual cartoon?

Oh would you look at that!!! I wonder why they gave her brown hair suddenly but so clearly wanted to keep the yellow scheme! Couldn't possibly be because they wanted people to think of Disney's Belle, right?????

And also:

Purple? Check. High collar? Check. Menacing accessories? Check. Significant widow's peak with spiky crown? Double check. Also Raven's actual mother in the series looks like this:

And not actually, you know, like Raven.

EAH was also relying on a healthy handful of Disney ripoff designs to get their characters noticed. It shows. Not to mention the entirety of Epic Winter clearly banking on the Frozen craze because it didn't even get "The Snow Queen" story right.

(And sure, Descendants featured some designs that were a little bit too close to EAH, see: Mal's purple Cotillion gown vs. Raven's Thronecoming gown, evil!Audrey's entire color scheme compared to Spring Unsprung Briar, etc.)

Doesn't mean that mocking it is a classy move on Disney's part, but unless they're stupid enough to straight-up use a patented name from EAH, I highly doubt Mattel can or will do anything about it.

#eah also sucked i don't know why people act like its superior #it might have ran for longer but the continuity still suffered #that being said. BOTH FRANCHISES ARE DIFFERENT AND HAVE THEIR OWN GOOD POINTS #both franchises were also made for children and not meant to be examined with critical thinking skills lol #anyways. for the best version of either read 'the school for good and evil' books by soman chainini! #love spells are explicitly useless and the main couple actually has a believable plot #trauma!!! is actually discussed/talked about!!!!! #...if you can stand sophie's arrogance that is

[threewaywithdelusion]

I truly don’t understand people who think Byler is going to be canon. This is nothing against people who ship Byler, because I absolutely see what would draw people towards that ship.

But some people genuinely think it’s going to happen in season 5 and that’s what I can’t wrap my head around. Stranger Things is a show written by, as far as we know, two straight men. It’s a mainstream show and it’s target audience is everyone from teens to adults. A large portion of this audience is going to be straight.

The Duffer brothers are probably patting themselves on the back for their excellent queer rep. They have two whole queer characters in the main cast. I think there’s a decent chance Robin will end up with Vickie, in which case we have three characters who are confirmed gay and one gay couple ending up happily together. The Duffer brothers have been at least exploring the fact that Will could be gay since season 1, when Joyce said that Lonnie used to call him gay slurs. They committed to it in season 4, but also in a very subtle way. Queer audiences saw this coming years ago. I rewatched season 4 with my parents and had to explain to them that Will was crushing on Mike. (I straight-up said those words and they said, “you mean… he likes Eleven?”). Straight audiences are not picking up on some Will/Mike love story. And yes, I don’t think Mileven was super well-written in Season 4. But that’s a problem with the writing itself, not proof that the Duffer brothers don’t intend for Mileven to be endgame.

Also, Mike is arguably The Main Character. Especially with how he was framed in S1. Modern shows might make one (or several) main characters or series regulars queer to show how inclusive they are and appeal to queer audiences. But I truly don’t believe we’re at a point where you can make the main character queer without alienating straight audiences (especially if your fan base is not just younger people). Maybe that’s cynical of me, but I think people want to watch shows with queer representation but that aren’t Queer Shows. And that’s what Stranger Things would be if Byler happened, because both Will and Mike (two of the main leads) would be queer and together.

Even if the Duffer brothers wanted to make Byler happen from a creative perspective (which I seriously doubt), it would be a terribly marketing move. I just don't believe we live in a world (at least yet) where predominately straight audiences want to watch shows with large gay casts. (Of course there are exceptions, but I'm speaking in generalities). So while I totally think there's space for Byler in fan fiction and that it's a fascinating dynamic to explore, it bewilders me that people think it's going to happen for real. I think this comes from being in fandom spaces and/or interacting mostly with queer people.

The majority of the world isn't the fandom and also isn't queer. We're still years away from a time where a hugely successfully, mainstream money-maker like Stranger Things can make two of its main characters queer and in love.

I adore the world y'all are living in though. I don't think we're there -- but I hope some day we will be.

Addendum because I wrote this quickly: I also think Mike/Eleven are a really important relationship that is central to the show. That's not to say that Will and Mike aren't, because I do think they have one of the closest friendships on the show and that there's something special about their bond. But the show, from the beginning, has centered around Mike and El as the protagonists for the kids' generation. Their love for each other and trust in each other has been a huge characteristic of both Mike and El and a huge driving force for the plot. They haven't adequately set up a pivot from that central relationship, and I don't think they could do it in the final season without doing a disservice to the past four seasons, but especially to El, who is the center of this whole show.

Okay now I wanna see the Thad and Lonnie kiddo 🚼

Accepting || send me a 🚼 and a ship I’ll use a doll-maker to design what I think a child between our two muses would look like @peranarkia

Name: Katherine 'Kat' or 'K' Machin-Thawne

Gender: Female (for now; I also get nonbinary/genderqueer vibes from her.)

Pronouns: She/Her (for now; later on in her I could see he being open to he/him and they/them as well as she/her. In general, she just doesn't care about gender or how people perceive her, so long as she can focus on her projects and be herself.)

Powers: None

Appearance-wise you can clearly see a good mix of Lonnie and Thad in her, though not really one over the other. Sure, she's got short red wavy hair and yellow eyes, which are obvious from on who they come from, her facial structure is a good mix of them both. Her hair isn't as curly as Lonnie's but it's definitely wavy and somewhat unable to be tamed at times. Her hair also take on that messy and sort of voluminous style Thad has. Body-wise: She's pretty lithe, around the same height as Lonnie (so around 5'10; maybe just a touch under, but still taller than Thad), and has a fit physique. Also sun-burns easily much to her chagrin as someone who likes running.

Fashion-wise: As a base point she has more style in general and opinions on fashion than Thad. She definitely has a MCR Danger Day's era fashion wise at one point. Her "lab wear" is the most comfortable and lax you'll see her in, which constitutes old T-shirts, sweats, (proper eye-wear and closed foot-wear, of course), and a lot of oil/grease stains from her work.

Personality-wise: K is the mischievous sort who toes the line when it comes to trouble. She's always testing the limits of what she can get away with.

She is social and likes socializing with others (especially on robotics forums and the like), but she has moments where she blends in and is quiet in the sense that she watches other people very closely.

With parents like Lonnie and Thad, and I assume being in contact with not one but two different AIs, I can see her developing an interest in technology, hacking, engineering, coding, and those sorts of skills. Starting from a place of learning how things work and then developing toward testing out the limitations of technology.

Specifically her particular interest would be in robotics.

She would be the sort who would try (and succeed) in creating miniature versions of Gundams or Zoids. And you can bet that she would make some for Craydl and MAX to pilot/use as physical bodies for them to walk around and explore in.

In her teen years should would definitely sneak out in the middle of the night to participate in underground robot fights. Y'know, kinda like BattleBots, but more extreme. She would take no prisoners.

She's got the stubbornness and competitive streak from both Lonnie and Thad. And she doesn't like being wrong.

As an adult she could easily go the 'mad scientist' sort of route, but instead of that she is trying to make society better for people, but her ways of going about it aren't always appreciated.

Her goals are not destruction or causing chaos, but rather she sees the system as slow/corrupt/doesn't work, and instead goes beneath it in order to reveal truths or force them into the light and in ways they can't be ignored.

She might take on a necessary evil sort of role in order to work toward her goals. It's just how she's perceived by society.

She doesn't care for labels overall. Good? Evil? Whatever. She's just doing what she feels is right/best.

She definitely has jokingly said/threatened that she can always become a mad scientist if things don't work out for her.

@the-spangle-maker replied: Yeah, I've seen people who are convinced they have a better grasp on the show than most say Lonnie was "just a deadbeat" who said a few homophobic things (as if that isn't terrible, even if it was normal at the time?) and not really *that* abusive. I've also sen people suggest Joyce is "too tough" to have ever been abused. I really can't with a lot of this fandom.

Exactly! For one thing, I think it’s extreme, even in 1983, for a father to call his prepubescent son the ugliest homophobic slur available. I’m not excusing all the parents who want their sons to “man up,” or who “hate the sin, not the sinner,” or who make nasty remarks about gay people in front of their kids whom they don’t (want to) acknowledge might be gay, but I believe a lot of them would balk at that behavior.

For another thing, no one is “too tough” to be abused, oh my god. Joyce is very tough from the beginning—she’d have to be to support her family and stand up for her sons as much as she does—but Lonnie can and does rattle her in a major way. I think a viewer misses a lot of her arc if they ignore how she comes to trust herself more and banish Lonnie from the house in S1. Also, if she got married in a small town in or before 1967, she likely would’ve been brought up to go along with whatever her husband wanted.

Hey I say your post about a monarchist faction in the Horde & it really struck me as an interesting idea.

What other types of factions do you imagine were in the Horde.

Honestly, I haven't a coherent idea about the early days of the horde, but just pulling some possible plot threads from a hat (a lot of it brainstormed with @jidblogger) I would think...

The 'rebel monarchist' faction consisting of Scorpia's moms and their followers rebelling against Scorpia's grandfather

Turncoats from Scorpia's grandfather who aren't particularly loyal to Scorpia's mothers, but like the idea of being on the winning side.

The bandit faction, consisting of the kind of people we met in the Crimson Waste and Seaworthy who're happy to follow anyone who promises plunder (Octavia would fit well in here)

The 'fuck the monarchy' faction who really likes the idea of a non-princess power-holder (I personally don't buy into the idea of Etheria pre-horde being ruled exclusively by princesses, but the Horde propaganda sure seem to suggest someone would be susceptible to that idea). May or may not consist to a higher degree of lizard people and other 'non-human looking Etherian's' than the general population (again, taking inspiration from the propaganda).

The (small) 'aliens are cool' faction consisting by a handful of kindred spirits to Entrapta. Makers and magicians who really want to learn more about the world outside Etheria and/or robots.

Related: Maybe even one or two confused religious people who actually wanted to know about that whole Prime thing, or who confused Hordak with the first ones (who I headcanon have at least some religious significance on Etheria) due to him coming from Somewhere Else.

The 'at least the train leaves on time' faction who don't care who runs the place as long as there is a ration bar in it for them (a possible explanation for all the orphans is that years of war in the Scorpion kingdom had led to a large homeless population, and Hordak was simply the first one hitting on the novel idea of giving them food and shelter (due to religious reasons - everyone is welcome under Prime, after all)

The "fuck those other guys" faction(s) (closely related to the bandits). Ties in to my idea of Etheria mostly consisting of independent city-states. Then people from Elberon could join up when it looked like the Horde would attack Thaymore, who they had a trade conflict with (only to be dismayed when the Horde went on to attack Elberon).

Shadow Weaver

and of course, after a remarkably short time a place like the Horde which runs on pecking order and office intrigues will have amassed plenty of factions that are not defined by ideology, but simply are different gangs within the organisation. We saw that play out during the show with different (overlapping) factions forming around Catra, Entrapta, Lonnie and (in a manner of speaking) Scorpia, with Double Trouble running around like a kid in a candy store and making things worse.

I use picrew maker to make my version of the Aks!

Here's Anxelin, the goth who's also an angel because she deserves better.

Jr with cat ears because he loves cats.

Aziz, though he kinda looks like a girl.

Tyrone, the son of Tiana and Naveen.

There's no mismatched colors so I gave Herkie his mom's eye color, purple.

My child Lonnie.

Ruby, Rapunzel and Eugene's daughter.

Nina, Daughter of Tiana and Naveen, twin sister of Tyrone.

Jamilah, Aladdin and Jasmine's daughter

Emilie, daughter of Esmeralda and Phoebus.

I'll do more later but let me know which one is your fave!

Your dog, Dodger, is beloved by fans all over, can you explain why you chose to adopt an older dog and the importance of adopting older dogs? 

My dog Dodger, I rescued him and though he was a puppy technically, he was probably two years old at the time. I always thought when I adopted a dog or rescued a dog it would be a little puppy. Dodger was a full grown dog and it wasn’t the story I had in my mind but it ended up being the best decision in my life. I just think that adult dogs and older dogs get overlooked and  that’s a shame. Let’s give them some love too.

A-T-3 145 The Smiths - Hand In Glove

Yes, we may be hidden by rags But we've something they'll never have

The Smiths debut single was released May 1983 (specifically the 13th, so if you want 40-years to the day you need to wait another week.) It's probably the only single of their's that didn't top the UK indie singles chart, getting to number three. I know Blue Monday by New Order kept Hand In Glove off the top spot by being at number one, but I don't know who was number two May/June 1983

I was too young to appreciate The Smith when they emerged, I got into them when I hit my teens and then they split up! (although 1987 was a great year for releases by The Smiths.) I've read their arrival was a relief for fans who wanted music that had nothing to do with punk, and sure This Charming Man entering the UK singles chart and their appearances on Top Of The Pops felt like something different was here. I was only young but I noticed the change in fashion of people 5-10 years older than me. This was a time unlike today when youth groups were recognisable by how they dressed. From the get go Morrissey had his accessories, the quiff, then the anti-star NHS specs, hearing-aid, denim jeans with the gladioli in his back pocket, t-shirt, charity shop shirt or cardigan

The Smiths captured the indie fan/student look, but if you follow this blog you've seen were many many other acts making intelligent music unattached to punk rock such as Felt, The Pale Fountains, Strawberry Switchblade... I'd argue with hindsight The Smiths didn't fall far from punk. Morrissey was famously at the Sex Pistols first Manchester gig and he later fronted a punk band called The Nosebleeds. There are a lot of rockabilly similarities, Morrissey's quiff and the ghostly vocal on Hand In Glove are reminiscent of Joe Meek. Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke belt out the drums and bass like, say, Lonnie Donnigan's band, they're a powerful galloping rhythm section. The difference to other jangle bands at the time was The Smiths were just better, better songs, better performers, and cocksure with it. Johnny Marr is a brilliant guitarist, in his shades he has a bit of The Velvet Underground about him. Morrissey and Marr famously loved the girl groups and solo artists of the sixties, and 1960s pop in general, The Ramones adored Phil Spector and who is more punk than The Ramones. You wouldn't call The Smith a retro band like you would Oasis or other bands in the mid-1990s, only 10-years-later. The Smiths channel nostalgia to create something new for the 1980s (I'll have to think about how this might be different from a band like The Strokes or nostalgic tv series such as Mr Robot or Stranger Things). It now plainly clear Morrissey's obsession with nostalgia for the working-class of the 1960s became problematic

Morrissey, like Madonna, made a successful effort to become an icon in his own right, although unlike Madonna that star has tainted. As well as photo's of Morrissey posing as Billy Fury (Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me) or a young Elvis (Shoplifters Of The World Unite) or some similar pop idol in the NME, Melody Maker, and Sounds, he put his own spin on Andy Warhol's Icon series (the sleeve for debut album features Joe Dallesandro from Andy Warhol's Flesh, Candy Darling appears on the sleeve of Sheila Take A Bow). This was the duotone "cover star" curated by Morrissey (often assisted by iconic graphic designer Caryn Gough) adorining every The Smiths release while they were on Rough Trade records. The Smiths "cover stars" are cultural signifiers, images are taken from kitchen sink dramas of the 1960s, as do some of Morrissey's lyrics.  "I'll probably never see you again" is a line from Salford playwright Shelagh Delaney's A Taste Of Honey and The Lion In Love, the first of many references to the playwrights work. Delaney appears as a "cover star" on two of The Smiths releases. Morrissey said in 1986 "I've never made any secret of the fact that at least 50 percent of my reason for writing can be blamed on Shelagh Delaney." What we see in Morrissey writing is the separation of working-class northern Englishness from the rest of England, he shows this fracture in England. When Morrissey nostalgically references British poets and literature he evidences the flow of immigration from Dublin to Manchester (or Liverpool, or Birmingham) indicating northern England has more in common with Ireland than the Home Counties

"There's more to life that books y'know, but not much more." These references were ambrosia to working-class autodidacts (especially those in the north) with Morrissey as our cultural gatekeeper. You can argue the signs were there but when Morrissey took his white nationalist turn it was heartbreaking, like a betrayal - I've mentioned cognitive dissonance before, changing your idea of someone is painful. Nick Cave is attending the coronation today, his wife Susie Cave is worn by Kate Middleton, and he came to the defence of Morrissey

Hand In Glove was released as a one off offer for The Smiths by Rough Trade, it was recorded at the legendary Strawberry Studios in Stockport (built by 10cc) and produced by themselves. The session was one day but Morrissey unhappy with his vocal went back in to rerecord his part

Out of sheer curiosity? 🚼

Accepting || send me a 🚼 and a ship I’ll use a doll-maker to design what I think a child between our two muses would look like. @libertytaken

Harper Machin-Thawne (They/Them)

I feel like if these two had a kid/their DNA was combined to create a kid that they would be incredibly intelligent. A technological wiz-kid, but also emotionally sort of reticent considering these two are their parents. They're definitely the calm sort of person who isn't overly excited by a lot of things except for the rare exception or interest. I think they would take up hacking from Lonnie while Thad would share and teach them his 31st century knowledge.
