#regular feature documentaries

One idea that’s been rattling around in my brain has been self-contained episodes of the Percy Jackson series that air in between regular seasons. Like, we get the five seasons that correspond to each book, but also we get “extra” episodes that will tide over the audience for a year and build the PJO universe. For OG fans, think of Rick’s spin-off books like the Demigod Files, Camp Half Blood Confidential, the Demigod Diaries, etc.!
We could see the events of these spin-off books come to life. How cool would it be to have a whole episode that is documentary style and revolves around interviews with different campers, like in the Demigod Files?
Or what if we could see the “Welcome to Camp Half Blood” orientation film that Nico mentions in Camp Half Blood Confidential?
This last one is a stretch, but what if the “special episode” that airs in the year in between SoM and TTC features Luke’s narration from the Demigod Diaries? We could see Luke’s backstory, him meeting Thalia, and the two of them meeting Annabeth right before we see the *drama* between these three play out on screen.
Since Rick timed these spin-off books in order for readers to have this background knowledge for the main books, it would make sense to continue this in some form for the series!
Please respond with your critiques, ideas, or what you would like to see!

Tumblr media
No one told you when you started out that your favourite thing about content creation would be the webcam quality. Of course, it was definitely something you could live without, but on nights when it was just you and Wilbur, a video call on your desktop as your sun rose and his set, the fact that you could see him in picture perfect vision was occasionally the only thing holding you together. 
But then suddenly, he was right in front of you.
You and Wilbur had been together for nearly three years, meeting at a creator event ages ago. You’d seen him at a panel and he’d waited in line to meet you just to give you his phone number, asking you to call him, and two weeks later he was calling you darling. 
You’d known at that first meeting that you lived awfully far from each other, but that hadn’t been thought of as a particularly big issue until the two of you started dating, and then it was comparable to torture. You’d have semi-regular meetings where he’d fly to your place and stay with you for a couple of days. This time, though, this was different.
“You have been holding out on me,” your voice was heavy with sleep, your head in Wilbur’s lap as the two of you watched something, some nature documentary that was playing so softly it was almost designed to put you to sleep. “Your couch is so much more comfortable than mine is.”
Wilbur looked down at you fondly. “My bad,” he laughed steadily, careful not to be too loud. “I guess I thought that if you got to experience the wonders of my sofa you’d only wanna come here, I wouldn’t get to come see you as much.”
“I knew you and Mr Gardener had some weird thing going on,” you said, accusatory with a smile draped across your face.
“He makes you bread!” Wilbur defended. “How are you not obsessed with him?”
You cracked one of your eyes open sleepily, hand coming up to reach for his. He took it eagerly, drinking in your figure as you lay on his couch. “I’m pretty sure he’s not the one doing it.”
Wilbur threw his head back to rest against the couch, letting out a puff of air. “Okay, maybe Emily is the one doing the actual baking, but you can’t tell me that Mr Gardener doesn’t add to the experience.”
“I’m sure he does.” You hummed.
“You can not seriously tell me that baking a loaf of bread is not made infinitely better by the presence of a cat.”
You paused. “Okay, okay. It would be.”
Wilbur let out a pleased noise, moving down to run his hands up and down the exposed skin by your collarbone. “We should get a cat,”
His voice was barely loud enough for you to hear it, your eyes closed and his voice heavy with exhaustion. The two of you had been out all day on the first day of your visit, finally taking a moment to rest. 
“Should we?” You mused. “Who gets custody?”
Wilbur made a choking sound like the answer was obvious. “Well- I would, right?”
You forced yourself up, yawning as you brought your knees to your chest. “Why am I jealous of our hypothetical cat right now?”
Wilbur chuckled and reached for you, sitting forward on his knees, gently tugging at your calves until he was resting on your chest. “You don’t have to be,” he pointed out. “I’ve got a very big bed. And an entire section of wardrobe that I’m not using, and-”
“Wilbur,” you chided. “You know it’s not as easy as me simply never going home. Believe me, if I could spend the rest of my life curled into this couch, I would but-”
Wilbur sighed dramatically, pulling himself off you and standing up. “There you go, dream crusher,” he let out an exaggerated groan, taking you by the hand and pulling you up. His cheek was pressed against the side of your face, hands interlocked. “Crushing my dreams all crush-ier and dreamy.”
You let out a giggle as he poked your side. “You think I’m dreamy?”
“So dreamy,” he nodded. “Dream girl material right here, loves me, loves our future cat-”
“Loves your sofa,” you added dreamily. 
“And before I let you two get a room, please just consider moving in with me?” He begged gently. “Come on, wouldn’t it be so nice? Just you and me, I’d even let you name the cat. Please?”
“I’m not doing it for you.” You conceded. “I’m doing it for Rhubarb and all of the future kisses I am going to get from him on my new couch.”
He kissed you on the forehead. “Okay, I’ll leave you guys alone, I see where I’m not wanted.” He pressed another one on the side of your mouth.
“No,” you groaned, trying to drag him back on the couch. “I don’t have our cat yet, I need someone to shower me with affection.”
He huffed as he sat back on the couch, letting you collapse on top of him, revelling in the comfortable weight of you pressed against him. “Fine, fine. If I must.”

We Have A Problem
Danny could scarcely contain his excitement. After eight long months, the wait was finally over: Tonight was the premiere of the hotly-anticipated new television docuseries, Knowing Universe.
The product of decades of research and collaborative efforts from the world’s greatest minds—astronomers, physicists, astronauts, engineers—Knowing Universe was rumored to have had a production budget somewhere in the hundreds of millions and boasted the latest advancements in computer graphics and long-range photography. New lenses had to be fitted to NASA’s telescopes to provide viewers with high-resolution images. Helmed by a famous Hollywood director and scored by Hans Zimmer, Knowing Universe was expected to go down in history as the most pivotal science documentary ever created, eclipsing even Carl Sagan’s beloved Cosmos.
A year ago Danny would have eschewed such blasphemy, but the litany of promos and sneak peeks on The Science Channel had finally won him over. It was all he had talked about for the past month.
Every member of the Fenton family knew what a monumental occasion this was to Danny, and had marked their calendars accordingly. With the big day finally here, a festive atmosphere descended upon Fenton Works. Pizza was ordered. Living room furniture was rearranged around the TV, the windows blacked out with construction paper. Glittery blue streamers festooned the ceiling. Glow-in-the-dark stars and meteors spackled the wall. Jack made three enormous batches of “galaxy brownies”, a regular brownie recipe but studded with white chocolate morsels and multicolored candy sprinkles. Maddie and Jazz took care of the music, arranging a playlist consisting of space-themed songs that featured such hits as David Bowie’s Space Oddity and anything by Daft Punk. Sam brought over a tray of veggies that had been cut into star shapes, and Tucker had printed out cards for an astronomy-themed parlor game to play while they waited.
At eight o’clock the lights were dimmed. Everyone gathered in front of the TV. Danny, hyped out on too much sugar, grinned like a maniac, practically vibrating with anticipation.
Sam passed a smirk to Tucker. “I think we know what to get him for his birthday this year.”
“Yeah,” Tucker laughed. “Posters, t-shirts, the DVD set—”
“Shh, shh,” Danny hissed. “It’s starting!”
Six pairs of eyes glued themselves to the opening sequence: a panning, high-definition shot of Earth, complemented by a gentle, sustained note on flute. Then, a voice:
“For as long as humanity has existed, we have looked to the stars…”
The ecstatic grin slid off Danny’s face.
It wasn’t David Attenborough’s educated gravel, or Neil deGrasse Tyson’s friendly, conversational baritone. No, this voice was intimately familiar, lightly accented, arrogant, with phlegmy fricatives and a rolling, almost musical modulation.
Tucker clapped his hand over his mouth. Sam goggled at the screen.
“Oh, my God, no,” Danny murmured.
Jack Fenton popped to attention. “Hey! That’s Vladdie!”
“No.”
“Vlad’s narrating the show!”
“No.”
“Hey, Danny, isn’t this—”
Outside Fenton Works, a howl rose over the rooftops, and every dog in the neighborhood took up the call:
“NOOOOO!”

Jikookery in the new Beyond the Story Doc
Don’t expect think pieces/summary posts from me on a regular basis because it’s only when I feel like I have something unique to say. I definitely agree with the majority of the opinions that I’ve read on the doc being sloppy timeline wise and not showing us much else new. This was in my drafts and I forgot about it, so I’m posting it.
But these last couple episodes were gems. And posed something interesting. I had seen the Jikook moments sprinkled on Twitter, but I had to wait to watch the episodes until I got off of work. In the context of the episodes, I think they mean sooo much more than how they can be perceived alone as snippets. Every other member besides Jin (who was with a non idol or celebrity friend group which warmed my heart so much honestly) was featured alone except Jikook. And I doubt all of them are truly alone as in they don’t have a significant other that they could have been seen relaxing with. And I think the answer is quite simple: because Jikook are always together and they have the power of plausible deniability because they are bandmates right?? That means they could never be together according to the court of homophobic public opinion and probably statistical data right??? I know everyone is freaking out about the date on the refrigerator when hunky bf JK cooks dinner at Mimi’s place but I think it’s actually very interesting that they chose that specific date to film them together. And it was the day before White Day too when they were also seen together. *sigh*
Maybe they thought it would be less weird for Jikook to be seen decompressing and hanging out right after a concert versus bringing a film crew in during their actual personal time that would expose them seeing each other outside of “work”. Jikook were very private too leading up to their companion enlistment. As much as JK went live even, we never saw the two of them together except for the minute where JK shows up on Jimin’s Face Documentary which was live, so I lied. I have no doubt that they saw each other all the time even if we didn’t see evidence of it. But that’s the point. They probably wanted to continue having their privacy. We don’t know what the date was when Jin with his friends but I would guess it probably wasn’t the day immediately after their last big concert in Korea. The other members I can’t say for sure but someone could probably analyze their hair or something and determine it was a later date. The point is that Jimin and Jungkook still wanted to be filmed hanging out together for the doc when none of the other members chose to film together. To me, that really speaks volumes to their bond and closeness.

Flirting For Dummies - Part 1
Summary: Turns out the crush you have on one of the pilots that frequents the Hard Deck isn’t quite so unrequited. You’re just bad at recognizing when someone’s flirting with you. Good thing Jake’s happy to help you understand how interested he really is. 
Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x F!Reader
Rating: General. The second part will include explicit sexual content and be 18+ only. This part features Hangman being a cocky little shit, a shy reader (inspired by @thewhiskersonkittens​​​ post asking for Jake with a shy reader), a misunderstanding and some kissing. 
Word Count: 2.1K
A/N: This is my first of hopefully many Top Gun fics. Please let me know if you enjoy this. Reblogs and comments feed the muse. 
Tumblr media
The pencil is clutched firmly between your teeth as you highlight another important passage in your book. It’s still early enough that the background sound from the bar is at a steady hum instead of the loud, chaotic energy you know it’ll morph into soon. The golden hours between lunch and the evening rush are the best time to study at the Hard Deck, it’s less stuffy than the library or the studio apartment you rent, plus you get free fries here. That’s hard to beat.
“Almost done?” One of the other bartenders, Becky, asks as she passes by you on her way to the kitchen. 
“Almost,” you respond. Technically there are two more chapters you need to read but with only 15 minutes until your shift starts there’s no chance you can make that happen. You don’t really care anyway, you’re tired of studying. What you need is a break, something more than sitting alone on your couch watching true crime documentaries with a pint of ice cream. 
With a defeated sigh you close your book and lean back to stretch, letting out a startled little gasp when you realize the seat beside you is no longer empty, but taken up by the handsome pilot who you’ve spent entirely too much time thinking about. He’s become a regular at the bar over the last few months, coming in like clockwork on Thursdays and Fridays. Sometimes he’s alone, just ordering dinner and a drink though mostly he comes in with a group of other people wearing the same service khakis to play pool.
You don't know his actual name, just his call sign - Hangman. He's friendly, tipping generously and has a habit of winking at you when you dropped off his drinks. That made you incredibly nervous even if you did like it. You know it doesn’t mean anything… He’s charming to all the bartenders, even succeeding in making the unflappable Becky blush once.
Penny warned you the pilots were the worst of the bunch but the others didn’t make you nearly as nervous as Hangman did. You liked watching him from afar, aware of how his type operated. They didn’t go for girls like you. You weren’t pretty like Becky or funny like Janet, the other bartender you often worked with. 
Having his full attention focused on you throws you for a loop. “What?” You stammer, completely missing whatever he just said. 
“I asked what you are reading about?” Hangman repeats, leaning into your space to see the title of your textbook. 
He’s so close that you can smell his cologne, a potent mix of sandalwood and a sweet citrusy undercurrent. When your mouth opens to respond all that escapes is a uhhhh sound. He smirks, pressing into your space and laying his arm along the back of the bar stool. You meet his beautiful green eyes for just a second before you clear your throat and look away. 
“Coastal Ecology,” you finally manage to force out. 
“You’ll have to speak up sweetheart,” Hangman says, tapping on the wooden bar. “It’s loud in here.” 
It’s actually not but he still leans in and warmth sweeps up your chest into your throat. You hate the way the stupid pet name makes your stomach swoop. Normally you despise all the honey, baby, or darlins you get from the men at the bar, but there is something in the way he says it that’s different. You want him to call you that and mean it, even though you know he never would. 
“I’m studying coastal ecology,” you repeat, turning to look at him fully, buoyed by a brief swell of confidence.
“Smart girl, huh?” He asks, grinning. You sit up straighter at his praise. “Why are you doing it at a bar? Hoping for some attention?” 
His words curdle that pleasantly warm feeling in your chest. ​​
“I work here,” you defend, sliding off the bar stool to put distance between the two of you. “I’m in grad school and the owner lets me study before my shift.” 
The urge to continue and over-explain is hard to resist. You owe him nothing so cut yourself off and focus on putting your things away, but when you reach for your book he rests his hand on it to stop you from taking it. You stare at the large ring he wears on one finger, not wanting to meet his gaze. After a moment he sighs and draws his hand back. You spot an annoyed, almost confused look on his face, which quickly dissipates replaced by a bland smile. 
“Ok then. Guess we’ll take a round of beers. Over at the pool tables,” he says, stepping back.
It’s not your shift for another 10 minutes so you pass on the order to Becky and go hide in the back office until you need to clock in. Despite your best efforts you somehow find yourself looking over to the pool table and meeting the blonde man’s eyes. He doesn’t smirk like you expect. There’s a little furrow between his brows instead. 
"He's hot," Becky says, coming to lean against the bar next to you while you slice up a lime. “Probably a jackass but he’d show you a good time.”
"What?" You ask, embarrassed to be caught looking.
"Mr. Tall Blonde and Built," she indicates, pointing to Hangman. "All pilots are cocky, especially that bunch.”
"Bob is sweet," you defend, thinking of the timid but endearing pilot who always stammers his way through talking to Janet and you. 
"Bob is an outlier and if he wasn't so into Janet I'd love to take him home and sit on that pretty face. He looks like he’d be so eager. Like one of those golden retriever types.” She sighs wistfully. 
"Oh my god, Becky," you chastise, looking over at Bob, half embarrassed on his behalf. He’s staring dreamily at Janet as she cleans off a high top. He really was adorable. 
“Just be careful,” Becky says seriously.
“I don’t think I’m on anyone’s radar here,” you tell her with a sad little laugh.
“Thought you were supposed to be smart, kiddo,” she says, bumping your shoulder and grinning. “Ohhh, I spot a cell phone on the bar. Gotta ring that bell,” she tells you, taking off towards a poor unsuspecting businessman.
Friday is even crazier than Thursday, the bar is packed to the gills. Although you won’t admit it, you catch yourself searching through the crowd for a familiar face. For Hangman. There’s a bunch of military types hanging around the pool table but he’s not with them. It’s stupid to feel disappointed, it’s not like he even knows you exist, not really. It’s best your crush becomes nothing more than a way to occupy your mind with what-ifs and silly scenarios. He’s probably off with that beautiful brunette girl you saw hanging off his arm yesterday. 
“It’s almost 7,” Penny says, interrupting your thoughts. “Go ahead and clock out before things get too crazy.”
“I don’t mind staying to help,” you offer. 
She waves you off. “You closed last night and should have left two hours ago. You’re good. Go.”
“Alright,” you agree, untying your apron, and retrieving your purse from the back room. Trying to leave the bar is like swimming upstream, you’re fighting past throngs of people who are drunk or on their way to be. By the time you break free the cool air coming off the ocean feels wonderful. You close your eyes and take in a clarifying breath, enjoying the peaceful moment. Maybe you’ll sit out on your balcony and read tonight. 
“Got off late today, huh?”
You jump, clutching your purse to your chest at the sound of the familiar voice. Speak of the Devil. Hangman pushes off from the wall he’s leaning against, running a hand through his perfectly styled honey blonde hair as he approaches you. The tousled effect makes him look even more handsome. He’s out of his Navy uniform, wearing jeans and a light gray sweater that clings to the curve of his biceps.
“Becky said you got off at 5 pm today.” He taps the watch on his wrist. 
Was he talking to you? You glance behind you but no one is there. 
“One of the bartenders showed up late and I didn’t want them to be short-staffed.” You respond, trying to process why he’s talking to you. Was he waiting for you? “Penny was worried and I oh…” you trail off when your back connects with the brick wall.
Hangman grins, head cocked to the side while he continues to stalk towards you. You lick your lips nervously and look past him. Was this some kind of joke? There are a handful of people milling about, sharing a smoke or escaping the crowd, but they’re all caught up in their conversations. No one is looking at either of you. 
“Gotta tell you, honey, it’s a real blow to the ego when a girl doesn’t flirt back with a guy like me.”
“What?” You ask sharply, looking back at him confused. “You were flirting with me? When?”
“Ouch,” he says, clutching his chest in mock pain. “You know how to wound a man, sweetheart. I was trying to be charming but I see I’m gonna need the direct approach here. I want to take you out. Tomorrow night. 7 pm.” He pauses, waiting for you to respond but you just stare dumbly at him, mind blank and body buzzing with nerves. “This is the part where you say yes,” he prods, stepping even closer.
You stare into his green eyes. “I don’t even know your real name,” you finally blurt out.
He chuckles. “It’s Jake.”
He’s in your space now, palm resting beside your head. Close enough to kiss, your mind supplies. The thought makes goosebumps break out over your skin and you let out a shuddery breath. 
“No hard feelings if I’m not wanted but I have it on good authority I am,” he whispers. “I need you to say it so there’s no misunderstandings.”
“Yes.” You offer him a soft smile, feeling shy and giddy.
“Yes what?” He prods. 
“Yes, I want to go out on a date with you.” 
“That’s good,” he hums, inching forward until his lips are a hair's breadth away from yours. Your chest rises and falls rapidly, waiting. He smiles. “I can’t do all the work here, sweetheart. Help me out.”
Emboldened by his words and the way he looks at you, you find the courage to tilt your head up and meet his lips. He takes control of the kiss immediately, one hand sliding along the curve of your hip. The other cups the side of your face. You moan, curling your fingers into the soft fabric of his sweater. For a moment you forget where you are, letting Jake’s weight pin you to the wall as his kiss intensifies. 
He parts your mouth with his, the sensation of his tongue against yours making you quake and him groan. A sharp whistle snaps you back into reality and you draw away, shaking and overwhelmed. Jake’s a little breathless too but he recovers pretty soon, looking over his shoulder at two younger men. Both are in uniform and they pale under the dark look he sends them, scurrying back inside. You shrink down, hands coming to cover your face. Your skin tingles, warming with embarrassment and the aftermath of the kiss.
“None of that,” Jake says, pulling your hands down. He runs his tongue along his bottom lip, making a pleased sound. “No hiding that beautiful face from me. You’re cute when flustered.”
You look away, his attention is too much. 
“It’s ok.” He rises to his full height, shielding you from anyone looking. The hand at your waist disappears, but he rubs the apple of your cheek gently with his thumb until you find the courage to look back at him. “That was nice wasn’t it?”
“Yes,” you agree.
“Come on, let me walk you to your car.”
You follow his lead into the parking lot. When you stop at your beat up old Honda he grasps your wrist and pulls you back to face him. He brushes another kiss over your lips. Your whole body tingles in response.
"Tomorrow night. 7," he reminds you, tapping your nose lightly before stepping back. 
He’s a few feet away when you realize he hasn’t said where you’re supposed to be. “Wait!” You call out. 
“Miss me already?” He questions, amused. 
“No, that’s not what I meant,” you stammer, embarrassed. “Where are we meeting?” 
“I know, you’re fun to tease. Check your phone,” he suggests, waiting as you rummage through your purse. There’s a single text for an unsaved number with the location for an upscale gastropub. 
“How…”
“Janet sold you out. I got your number and she got Bob’s. Seemed like a fair deal,” he says with a wink. “See you real soon, sweetheart.”
Part 2 is here.

Mikhail Baryshnikov’s first celeb scent from 1989😍 dry amber with carnation and cinnamon adding zest and sparkle.. stewed peaches sing the high notes and vetiver adds a suggestion of smokiness in the base.. very glamorous bitch. similar notes to lots of other 80s scents like coco and is definitely a post opium composition but Misha feels more like an inner fire than an outer fire and thankfully lacks that dryer sheet aldehyde note that many others in this genre feature... it has that quiet confidence thing going on and has more sex appeal than coco and the like.. i wonder how much he was involved with this creation and if he had a specific woman in mind while working on it.. who is she i’ll beat her ass anyways today’s movie was this documentary following the making of a film in the 70s that started out as a wannabe artful indie but then the producers funding the film said u have to make it a porn, that’s what’s selling and we want good return on investment so we need 60% of this film to be porn. so then this cast of actors who signed up for a regular film very awkwardly enter the world of hardcore porn with a crew that was just as uncomfortable and unfamiliar with such material.. very interesting look that era of naughty film and the attitudes around sex on film

TTTE Headcanons: Engines’ TV Habits — Skarloey Railway Edition
I really enjoyed making that post about what some engines on Sodor might like to watch on TV. Here’s one all about the SR!
——————————————
Skarloey likes shows about space and space travel. When out of service in the early 1950s, he often had nothing to do except listen to the radio… which exposed him to the Space Race. It was a nice distraction, taking his mind literal worlds away. He developed a genuine interest and continues to tune into documentaries.
Rheneas sometimes watches meditation programs. After years of running his line alone, he struggles to relax. He can’t follow all the directions, being an engine, but it still helps him feel more present and shake off “crisis mode.” And the gentle music and voiceovers are soothing after a long, hard day’s work.
Peter Sam loves catching dreamy, technicolor Hollywood films when they air. The Wizard of Oz is a favorite, with the “no place like home” message resonating with him over the years. TV musicals and musical episodes are also a big hit with him. He enjoys the high energy of those shows and singing along with them.
Sir Handel watches sports, usually football. Or rather, his crew puts it on during breaks, and he complains about it being loud and stupid… but he always gets sucked in anyway and has a blast. He also watches the news so he can chat with Gordon about “the state of the world” on their connecting trains.
Duncan likes stand-up comedy — the more foul-mouthed, the more he laughs — and anything to do with rock n’ roll. If Top of the Pops features a rock artist, he watches and shimmies in place in the engine equivalent of head-banging. He loves getting caught up in guitar riffs and drumbeats that he feels in his frames.
Rusty tunes into home renovation shows. Being a maintenance diesel, they’re curious about the ways humans repair houses and buildings. They also watch shows like Too Cute. This is partly because cute animals are cute animals, but also because they love dragging Duncan along and watching him try not to melt over kittens and puppies. (His record is three minutes.)
Fred, as someone often on weedkiller duty, started to watch gardening shows for tips. He soon became interested in cultivation in general. Now he’s a regular viewer so he can better look after the line-side wildflowers and the station flowerbeds. He hopes to convince the Thin Controller to set up a community vegetable garden, too.
Ivo Hugh watches a lot of animated shows, particularly those to do with superheroes. Aside from enjoying the flashy action sequences and dramatic storylines, he appreciates their moral questions. They spark interesting conversations with the older engines around him. He comes away feeling like he knows himself better… and that none of the heroes on TV compare to the ones he talks to every day.
Duke has strait-laced habits: local news, talking heads, and the occasional program about railways. Or at least, that’s what he wants you to think. He secretly enjoys the show Jeeves and Wooster. He relates to Jeeves, a competent butler who fixes the messes that his well-meaning but barmy employer gets himself into. He would never admit this for fear of hurting His Grace’s feelings.
(He doesn’t know that Sir Robert also loves the show, finding it to lampoon the sort of pretentious, nasty aristocrats who call him improper and ridiculous.)

I had gotten that Michael J. Fox "Rolling Stone" a while ago, and I recently acquired another magazine with an interview with him. It's the January 1988 edition of "Interview."
Here it is in its special plastic pouch. It also arrived carefully packed in three of those sturdy, flat cardboard boxes to ensure it arrived without damage. I was opening it and just kept finding more packaging with every layer of tape I cut through, lol.
Tumblr media
First of all, this magazine is huge. Here it is next to a regular-sized magazine (Also featuring MJF that I picked up at the checkout line at a grocery store a few months ago)
Tumblr media
Some highlights from the interview, along with several pictures I'd never seen before:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The interviewer mentions being enthusiastically greeted by Michael's dog, Burnaby, before the two of them lead the way through the house. He writes, "I followed as the two pranced down the hall. One of them let out a bark."
Tumblr media
I'm telling you. Almost every interview with Michael from the 80s mentions that he would spontaneously get up and just start "bopping" around the room, pacing, sitting in different places, etc. There was an old interview with Meredith Baxter (Elyse on Family Ties) who was talking about Michael and said something along the lines of, "I love that boy, but he just doesn't slow down for a second. He's always in a whirlwind of motion." And she goes on to say that he's always buzzing around wildly on the set and mentions a moment when he excitedly presented her with Christmas gifts that were all unwrapped because he couldn't be bothered to sit still long enough to wrap them.
Makes me think of how, in his new documentary, Still, he mentions how he was never able to stay still. This is very much evident in all these interviews!
Michael, on his perception of himself: "I've always thought of myself as small. Geeky. Ferretlike." What a description.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Can't help but wonder exactly what point of the show that was, where that happened to him.
Tumblr media
One of my favorite photos of him! I'd never known where it was from and had also never seen the full image.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was a very neat find and addition to my collection.

🍁 November Outlaw Streams 🍂
Tumblr media
Instead of doing a full media rec list this time I’m just going to be streaming double features throughout the month! 💛 We are going to be doing these streams on Zoom. Since I had to pay a subscription fee to make this available to more people I wouldn’t *mind* if a few of ya tossed me a dollar if you attend (not at all required or expected tho!)
All double features will start at 8PM EST, with a pre-show starting about half an hour beforehand.
November 6th - Hitchcock Homos
We will be streaming Rope (1948) and Psycho (1960) - two Hitchcock films featuring queer (coded) villains
Rope is an adaption of a 1929 stage play written by Patrick Hamilton, better known for his work Gaslight, and based upon the real life killing of Bobby Franks by two students in 1924 — though I’ve found nothing about a known relationship between the actual killers. The play explicitly features both main characters as gay, while the film remains a bit more subtextual. The homosexuality is still strikingly present for a film of it’s time, perhaps due in part to the story and screenplay being developed by two gay men, Hume Cronyn and Arthur Laurents, and Brandon being portrayed by gay actor John Dall in the film — perhaps due to it’s adherence to the Motion Picture Production Code, where queer themes remain tragic or villainous. I can’t go without saying how visually stunning this film is. Filmed to mimic the style of the original stage production, we are on one set for the entire duration, viewing the story in real time, with only four visible cuts in the entire runtime. It’s an absolute treat of gay-and-homophobic cinema. /// SUBTITLED
Psycho is the first of many films very loosely based on the crimes of real life grave-robber and killer Ed Gein, who was discovered to crossdress with the victims’ body parts. (Most films based on the events take extensive creative liberties.) While horror had been playing with queer themes for some time, Psycho launched a wave of Geinian gender transgression based horror films, indulging in public fears of transvestites and transsexual women as lurking manipulators and body snatchers in a long enduring conservative moral panic. This paired well with its depiction of dissociative behavior in the killer, capitalizing on transphobic and sanist stereotypes that entwined gender transgression and a fractured sense of self and/or reality. Just as complicated and problematic as Rope, and a classic cinematic delight all the same. /// SUBTITLED
November 13th - Leather Is Everything!
We will be streaming Cruising (1980) and Bloodsisters (1995) — fantasy and reality in the leather community
Cruising my contentious favorite! This film is about a kinky gay murderer picking off other kinky gay men, and an innocent heterosexual Al Pacino going undercover in the leather scene to solve the case. It’s camp. It’s cringe. It’s actually pretty decent. It was picketed by gay activists at the time, so extensively that the dialogue was largely dubbed over due to loud protesting drowning out the production’s audio. It also features gay people in the leather scene, many of them regulars of Mineshaft, who happily joined the cast as extras and background performers. But only the white, muscular ones allowed on screen. It’s a strange erotic fantasy in some ways and - perhaps accidentally - a surprisingly poignant reflection on gay life in others. /// SUBTITLED
Bloodsisters is a documentary surrounding the SM / Leather community in the San Francisco area during the 1990s. It features interviews with a variety of leatherdykes interspersed with footage of needleplay scenes, tit torture, fundraisers, leather titleholder contests, and impactplay demonstrations. It expounds on alternating sides of intra community debate, the reality of death and holding a life in your hands, isolation from the greater lesbian feminist community, roles, love, lust, fisting. And it is so fucking 90’s. /// NO SUBS :(
November 27th - #JustGirlyThings
We’ll be streaming Jawbreaker (1999) and Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) — two modern horror comedies with sapphic overtones
I haven’t seen either of these yet and honestly know very little! I’ve heard the girlies are gay and murderous though and that’s enough for me. /// SUBTITLED
I’m so excited to watch these with y’all :o)
UPDATE : I am sadly going to have to cancel the last stream this month bc I really need to pick up another shift n make me some more money 😭 Im sorry guys I promise we’ll stream jawbreaker and bodies bodies bodies some time in the future ! </3

I found this pic on Pinterest & I know like 10 things on the list lmao. How much are you aware of/know the stories behind, and maybe have stored in your large collection of various Jackass-related tomfoolery? (Like the "Too Hot for MTV" which I badly wanna see if possible lol)
https://pin.it/1u5rBYL3i
Just for credits sake, the person that made this iceberg is @loomisfallsgf
Tumblr media
Tip of the Iceberg:
Most if not all of these are known-about mainstream things that most fans would know about. All of these things are available on the discord server.
Jackass the TV series (TURD remux & TV rips) & Movies (All available in varying qualities)
Viva La Bam, Jackass spin-off focused on Bam & the CKY crew. Basically a CKY series. (DVD & TV Rips & Spring Break special)
Big Brother Skate Videos, Boob, Crap, Shit & Number Two (not in that order) were movies that went along-side the Big Brother skateboard magazine, they're essentially early Jackass featuring folks that worked on the magazine in the early days, like Knoxville, Tremaine, Kosick, Cliver, etc. etc. A lot of folks that came from the magazine and videos ended up working on Jackass (These are on the server including a custom ISO with all the movies on it and a DVD menu etc.)
Jackass Shark Week & Shark Week 2.0 were discovery channel specials aired in 2021 & 2022 featuring some of the cast doing things with sharks, they're are both available in 1080p
Wildboyz, Jackass nature spin-off with Steve & Chris. (DVD & TV rips available)
CKY Skate Videos - Landspeed, CKY2K, CKY 3, CKY 4 & CKY the documentary. These were videos that the CKY crew made before Jackass, from when they were in high school to after Jackass began. Available on the server in DVD, VHS & Remastered versions.)
Dickhouse, the original production company for Jackass, run by the cast & crew & former big brother magazine workers.
Bad Grandpa & Bad Grandpa.5 were a Jackass Presents spin-off of the original movies featuring only Johnny, Spike and the crew of the Jackass franchise. The other cast members weren't told they were making it not were they asked to be in it. (Available on the server)
Wee-Man's chronic Tacos is Jason's side business, he runs multiple taco joints. He was meant to have a TV series focusing on this, but it never got picked up. We have the promo on the server tho.
r/Jackass is... well. I have nothing really to say about it. (We have all AMAs from there tho.)
Wendy from Peru refers to a dog that Steve saved from the streets of Peru while he was there filming Ultimate expedition. He still has Wendy. (The youtube video where he talks about Wendy is on the server.)
Bam's Unholy Union was a VLB spin-off that focused on the lead-up and planning of the Wedding between Bam & Missy back in 2008. Dunn was missing from it due to him dealing with his blood clot and Lyme disease issues. He attended the wedding and he was around but as far as I remember he wasn't featured regular. (Available in both DVD and TV rip quality on the server.)
CKY, I assume just refers to the band. We have their entire discography, DVDs, videos, specials, BTS, etc.
Steve-O's Rap. A bad time in his life, during the worst of his addiction, Steve made a rap album named "The worst asshole in Hip-hop." It was horrendous, is still horrendous and is a hard listen. (We have the full album & Bonus DVD on the server.)
Steve-O in clown college could refer to the actual attendance of clown college, but there is a video from his website specifically named that, so I assume it's talking about that. Yes we have that on the server.
Tier 2:
Jackass the Game: Released after Number 2 for DS, PSP Playstation 2, the game is pretty fun honestly and still a fun little game to play today. (We have the game files, the manual, the actual game, the videos & montages, the voice overs etc. on the vault.)
Big Brother Magazine, I'm not sure why this one is below the videos, because I feel like the magazine was more known but I digress. (We have a number of issues of BB magazine on the vault, not every issue but a good chunk with the intention of adding more soon.)
Rick Kosick, I mean... does this just refer to him in general or? Rick's a long-time member of the crew, who also wrote, edited, filmed/photographed for Big Brother Magazine & videos. He's been heavily featured in most of the Jackass franchise content.
HIM, being Bam's favourite Band and heavily featured in anything he produced. We do NOT have their entire discography on the server *yet.
Action Point is a 2018 movie that featured Johnny & Chris that told the story loosely of Action Park which was a condemned amusement park that really had no rules, regulations or cares. The movie is avaliable on the server along with a lot of other movies featuring Johnny.)
MTV's Dunn Tribute was a special that aired on MTV in 2011, it was a documentary about Dunn, his life, his career and featured interviews by his family members, the jackass cast and crew, Ape & Phil, etc. An absolute must watch if you haven't seen it. (Yes, it's on the server.)
Haggard was a 2003 film made by Bam & the CKY crew loosely telling the story of Ryan's fucked up relationship with Lauren, his girlfriend back in the early days. She cheated on him and treated him like garbage. Obviously the movie is CKY-core, so it's not all serious but it is a good movie and definitely a must-watch for any fan. (We have it on the server & a HD remaster version.)
Dudesons, self explanatory I think. 4 Finnish men who've been doing their own version of Jackass since before Jackass began. This is referring to the relationship the Jackass guys have with the dudesons who've been heavily featured in Jackass media, the guys have also featured in a lot of Dudesons media. (Yes, we had a dudesons collection but it's currently down.)
Homewrecker was a TV show hosted and featuring Ryan which saw him "redecorating" people's homes/bedrooms in absolutely insane ways while in between teaching at-home pranks and generally being Ryan. One of the only things that doesn't feature Bam along-side him. (Available on the server.)
Bam's Bad Ass Game Show came out in 2014, it was one of Bam's first moments of "recovery and coming back to TV" but it bombed pretty hard. It was just a typical game show, where folks took part in stunts to win. Novak featured heavily in it with him. It ran for one season. (Yes, it's on the server.)
Dr. Steve-O was considered lost media (not to us tho, we have it) and it was basically a shitshow at the beginning of Steve's lowest point. It was essentially Steve-O trying to turn "pussies/nerds" into real men who could get a woman. Hard watch, but if you haven't seen it, a vital part of Steve lore. (Yes, it's on the server.)
#FreeBam refers to the batshit insane, idiotic fucking stupid movement created by that dumb bitch "Thatsurprisewitness" whos obsession with Bam and attention led her to create a movement to specifically hinder any progress or healing Bam had the potential to make. It's essentially a movement to keep Bam unhealthy, struggling and leading him to his death. The movement specifically targets the Margera family with harassment and blames them for any time Bam tries to get help, claiming they're "harming him." Anyone who supports the movement hates Bam and wants to see him die, period, full stop. (We have got interviews with him by that silly bitch, but I'd never suggest to anyone to watch them.)
Minghags was a 2008 movie created by Bam & Dico. It was essentially supposed to be a sequel to Haggard but it isn't fully if you watch it. It's not good and doesn't compare to Haggard at all. I watched it once and have never watched it again. (Yes, it's on the server.)
Manny Puig is a nature dude who's heavily featured in Jackass, Wildboyz and Shark Week. They seeked him out and asked him to be on the show back when it was on TV and they enjoyed his energy so much he became basically part of the cast & crew. Manny's also had his own shows, such as Ultimate Predator and Savage Wild, which are nature shows. (Both available on the server.)
Bam VS HIM refers to the DVD "Love Metal Archives: Vol 1" which had a bonus disc featuring behind the scenes, storytelling and general buffoonery with Bam & Ville while working on the DVD & multiple music videos. (Yes it's on the server.)
Ignited Farts in bathtub, Turbonegro - I'm not sure what specifically these are referring to, especially Turbonegro, besides them being a band Bam liked.
Jackass by Sean Cliver I assume is referencing the Jackass the movie companion book. (It's available on the server.)
Tier 3:
Ultimate Predator, as mentioned above was a movie featuring Manny, talking about and encountering various wild animals. It featured a number of crew members from Wildboyz like Mark Rackley & members of Jackass like Johnny, Chris and Steve. (Yes it's on the server.)
Jackassworld.com was the original Jackass website which shut down a number of years ago. The cast & crew would regularly share videos and photos on the site that featured shenanegans in the dickhouse offices, interviews, skits, bits, behind the scenes and specials. The majority of content from the website is lost media, though we do have a number of the lost videos available on the server (not all), which includes the jackass road trip also mentioned in this iceberg, minus part 12 which was corrupted.
Bam's World Domination was supposed to be a multi-part series of Bam going around the world doing random shit, however after one episode it got dropped and they came out and said it would only be a one-episode special. It featured Bam, Ryan & Tim O'Connor travelling to England and partaking in the Tough Man Challenge obstacle course. (Yes, it's on the server.)
23 Hr takeover refers to the special takeover of MTV studios by the Cast and Crew in 2007. It was a 24-hour livestreamed event that started off pretty great and then devolved into chaos. Ryan was notably missing because he was still dealing with his Bloot clot & Lyme Disease, and Steve-O got kicked out of the studio for being too fucked up. The takeover was when people realised how bad Steve was. (We have 19 hours of the takeover & the best bits special on the server.)
Dunn's Lyme Disease refers to the diagnosis he recieved when he was being seen about his blood clot he got from filming the ending of Number 2.
Gnarkill was a CKY-esque comedy band featuring Dico & Bam. (Yes we have their full discography available)
OG Lambo tooth pull, refers to the original take of the stunt which originally featured Don Vito getting his tooth pulled. It was initially filmed for Number Two, however due to Vito's legal issues and subsequent ban from being on TV, the whole bit got pulled and never used. Bits of it have been seen before, notably the actual moment the tooth is pulled but the full skit is still lost.
Jackass backyard BBQ was a special from 2002 where the entire cast and crew got together to have a BBQ and a party. AFAIK it was originally on Jackassworld.com (Yes, it's on the server.)
I'm not sure why Steve-O out on bail is so far down the list, because it's one of Steve's mainstream videos. The 3rd in the Don't Try This At Home series. Steve filmed this while he was out on bail for drug smuggling if I remember correctly. He then got re-arrested during filming of it. (Yes, that and all the other old Steve-O movies are on the server.)
Jackass: Too Hot for MTV was never actually supposed to be released. It was leaked by a production member on dailymotion and features never-before-seen moments filmed for the show that they couldn't air, like the convict, the gun part of the self defense test, the original vomelette, the body in a dumpster, etc. Definitely a must-watch if you've never seen it. The quality is poor because it's a VHS rip. (Yes, it's on the server.)
Idk why the lost tapes are in here twice, nor do I know why they're below too hot for TV because it's much more known-about and also technically mainstream. It's basically too hot for MTV, but the approved released version.
PurpleStickey is the name of a band Rake is a member of.
Don Vito's Crimes refers to multiple legal issues Vito had pertaining to inappropriate touching, groping and underage molestation. This led to him being banned from portraying the Don Vito character on TV, meaning all bits they filmed with him for Jackass Number two (which was actually a lot) had to get cut and have never been seen. The limitation for him appearing in media is long past.
Darf is referring to Dave's drunk alter ego.
Tier 4:
Loomis Fall's music. Simply refers to Loomis's music, it's not well known and he's not really known as a muscian, but he has a couple albums out. (Yes, they're on the server.)
Novak's House refers to Novak's rehabilitation centre and journey.
Laskian Striggoi is Bam's made-up language he began creating at the beginning of his mental health collapse. He still regularly uses it.
Dave's one testicle, refers to... dave's one testicle. He lost it during a snowboarding accident, I'm not sure what year exactly.
Stephanie Hodge's Injury is referencing when she shattered her spine and pelvis doing a stunt with the cast where they were going down a large hill on random objects. She stated that she understood it was just an accident that couldn't be avoided and she said it helped her better her friendships with the guys, eventually getting better and starring in the movie with them.
Fuckface Unstoppable was Bam's attempt at a Gnarkill ripoff, but it never hit like it was meant to. Bam and FFU toured for a number of years and then after drama with Alex flamsteed, they stopped, their tours were batshit crazy filled with drugs, alcohol, novak dancing around stage naked, Nikki getting her tits out and Bam screaming drunk into the mic. (yes, we have their discography on the server.)
DiCamillo sisters, essentially was like Gnarkill but focused on a more pop sound. Featured Dico, Bam, Jimmy Pop, Raab & Rake. Mostly known for their song "why's it so cold?", I think that's really the only song they did. Oh, and Santa's coming, but that one was branded as a CKY song which I'm not sure why.
Wax.... a little too broad, I have no idea what this is about.
Jackass presents tribute to evel knevel was actually a Nitro Circus special which featured Johnny & Steve-O and was created by Jeff and the crew behind Jackass. Johnny ended up breaking his pelvis during a jump. (Yes, it's on the server.)
Jackass: The Beginning is a documentary about how Jackass started and the lead up to the first movie. It was featured on the bonus features of jackass 3. (Yes, it's on the server.)
KatieMarie88 references a youtube channel which used to host most, if not all, of the Jackassworld videos. A lot of them have disappeared and the channel isn't active anymore.
Bam's IG rants. Self explanatory, during his moments of mania/bad mental health, Bam goes on social media rants about his friends and family, talking bad about them and just being manic.
Jackassworld Roadtrip 2009 was a Jackassworld.com special that aired in 12 parts, it followed the Jackass cast on a roadtrip and visiting Steve-O in his rehab facility etc. (11 parts are on the server, part 12 is lost media.)
Scrad and Charlie refers to the characters Johnny played in Men in Black II.
Jenn Rivell ebay, I'm not sure about this one. Didn't know she ever had one, I only ever knew about Jess's ebay.
Tier 5:
Bam's Sex Tape, self explanatory. It was a sex tape with Jenn. Loud ass music, quality camera garbage and it was only around 1.5 minutes long. Used to be on pornhub but idk where you could find it now.
Steve-O's ghost story I think refers to the ghost story he told on H3's podcast, I'm not sure.
Jackass Totem Pole skit. This one.. ah. I wish we'd left this one out. It's referencing the blatantly racist Jackass skit in S3E9, where Preston, Jason and Steve don blackface with totem masks and the cast and crew threw things at them. We don't talk about the totem pole skit.
The Note (bar) was a local in WC which Bam and his friends regularly attended. It closed down in 2014.
Greg Wolfie Brozillian refers to a deleted scene from the 3rd movie where Wolfie gets a brazillian wax.
Dave on reddit, I'm not sure what this is specifically referring to.
Amanda Lanise Vadis Myres is the name of a woman who aggressively stalked Bam between 2011 - 2013. She was known as the "florida stalker" and she was caught inside his house masturbating over his bed where he was sleeping, he called the cops on her and she got arrested.
MTV Random Hero show was supposed to be a show featured around Ryan, who would seek out the next "Random hero" from contestants who partook in stunts and whatnot. It was never picked up, the most we got was a promo. (Which is available on the server.)
Extended Playgirl Pontius refers to the whole Playgirl pontius bit that was never aired due to the nudity.
OG Butt Chug refers to a never released bit from the original show, where Steve shot gun a beer through a tube in his nose, Knoxville said it was lame so he should shove it up his ass. He did, the footage never got released and they re-did it for the movie.
Zachary Hartwell was the passenger in Ryan Dunn's car during his 2011 car crash. Both of them were killed in the crash. He was a known friend to the Jackass cast and the CKY crew. Most of the reports about Dunn's death never mentioned Zachary.
Angelfire fan websites. Self explanatory. Basically tumblr blogs from back in the day before Tumblr.
Dreamseller, Novak's book title and documentary name. Tells the story of Novak's life through addiction, etc. (All available on the server, includes audiobooks.)
Ryan Dunn Haunted Car Parts is in reference to an ebay listing after Dunn's crash, people were selling parts of the wreck.
Tier 6:
Fanfiction, self explanatory.
FantASStic Whores 4 featured Bam and Novak and was essentially a porn movie where Bam had sex with Gina Lynn.
Barvarian Dumbasses Death refers to the death of a 20 y/o german man who was attempting to recreate a Jackass stunt for his amatuer Jackass social media pages with multiple of his friends.
Chris & Loomis on Rodge & Podge, self explanatory, they were featured on the show. (Not on the server.)
The career ending footage of steve-O is a bonus movie on the Don't try this at home first video. It features Steve masturbating and repeatedly cumming on his production manager's phone and keyboard in his office.
Cunt: the movie, idk about this one.
Ryan's last photo references the photo of Ryan and Zachary at the bar right before they left and got into the deadly car crash.
Stevie Lee was featured in Jackass 3, he died of a heart attack in 2020.
Steve-O's overdose is in reference to Steve's drug addiction climax before his intervention.
Bam's Bulimia, not a very well known fact about Bam but he's had bulimia since the early days. It's very briefly mentioned by Ry in some sort of special, but I can't place which one.
Desert Blues has no reason to be at the very bottom of the list, but regardless, this was a soft-porn movie featuring Johnny before he ever featured on TV or in Big Brother.
So basically, everything that is media on this list with the exception of the things I don't know about or the things I've specifically mentioned are lost media is available on the discord server.

The hypersexual Jezebel, the doting mammy, the angry Black woman according to Montreal filmmaker Ayana O'Shun, these three tropes dominate representations of Black women in popular media -- and negatively affect Black women in the real world.
Her new documentary, 'Le Mythe de la Femme Noire' (Myth of the Black Woman), breaks down these stereotypes and their histories and shows women embracing their own unique identities.
"[Black] women are not a monolithic block. They are diverse, and they are all different," O'Shun told CTV News Saturday, the day after her film hit Quebec theatres.
"It's possible to break free from them and create your own identity. You don't have to [conform] to these stereotypes."
The film features interviews with 21 different Black women from various backgrounds, from artists like Quebec rapper Sarahmée to human rights leaders like Myrlande Pierre.
"I wanted for an audience to be inspired and empowered by these women who are Black, because [for] me growing up in Montreal, these models were not shown to me in regular media," O'Shun explained. [...]

This is the second in our occasional series featuring luminaries of stage and screen with a strong personal or professional connection with Northeast England, inspired by @robbielewis. This time, Edward Wilson (1947-2008).
Edward Wilson was born into a South Shields mining family in 1947. He performed with the National Youth Theatre and aged 19, formed his own company, the South Shields Youth Theatre, staging their plays at the local Pier Pavilion.
According to his obituary in The Guardian;
"…The local press raved, while stern-faced local Labour mandarins wondered if the radical ideas on their stage were too dangerous. "Kitchen sink drama" had arrived, and so had Ed Wilson…"
He attended Manchester University, and continued acting and directing at the NYT, for which he was artistic director from 1987 to 2003 (or 2004, depending on the source). He also demonstrated a talent for business and administration, successfully negotiating major corporate sponsorships and Lottery funding to ensure the NYT’s ongoing viability.
On television, he had a major role in 35 episodes of the 1970s working-class family saga, When the Boat Comes In, as Billy Seaton, a radically minded, newly qualified doctor working in impoverished pre-NHS Tyneside communities. Billy Seaton's complicated and often combative relationship with Seaton family friend, capitalist chancer Jack Ford (James Bolam), was an ongoing theme that brought out some intense and compelling performances from both actors.
Tumblr media
Edward Wilson was one of the few original cast members to return for the final, fourth series in 1981, where the action largely shifted away from Tyneside, and explored left-wing politics surrounding the Spanish Civil War.
Other television appearances included the historical dramatised documentary series, Fall of Eagles, as Russian revolutionary Julius Martov (with Patrick Stewart as Lenin and Michael Kitchen as Trotsky), and a regular role in the 1980s police drama, Rockliffe’s Babies.
In 2004, he went to work in the US as the director of the Los Angeles Young Actors Company, was diagnosed with cancer in 2007, and passed away in 2008, aged 60.
By all accounts he was extremely well loved and respected by the actors he had discovered, mentored and directed during his time at the NYT, including Daniel Craig, who provided ongoing financial and practical assistance during his final illness.
The Independent:
"…Ed Wilson did not merely select the members of the NYT during his time there – he championed each and every one, and retained an interest in them long after they had left the company. A noted wit, he was as clever as he was stylish, and he had an undoubted genius for friendship. When tragedy or bereavement struck, he was magnificent, and he would move mountains to help a friend in need..."

And one last of those dark and sinister posts before I am done with this all (because I have said all I felt I needed to say, and I want to move on back to the regular program)
I watched the video above one month ago or so, and I would have never believed I would have to share it today... But this very dark and disturbing documentary-video explores an infamous children television show that aired on Palestinian TV, on a channel known as "Al-Aqsa TV". This propaganda program designed to indoctrinate children into an antisemitic war against Israel became quite famous on the Internet later because it featured each season a mascot that would end up being killed somehow - and the first of those mascots was a rip-off of Mickey Mouse himself. This is all EXTREMELY disturbing, so do not watch before going to sleep... There are notably scenes of children singing songs about being ready to kill themselves to save their country.
If... But if you want to see what kind of stuff the Hamas were up to not so long ago, go watch this video, because Al-Aqsa TV is a channel run by the Hamas, and thus this program, "Tomorrow's Pioneers" is a reflection of what the Hamas ideology and plans were in the 2000s. Yes, the 2000s, this show aired from 2007 to 2009. Watch the video, and you'll see why it puts things in perspective.

yuzu-all-the-way · 2 years

Hello! I just found out about hanyu yuzuru, so I guess that makes me a baby fanyu now haha, and I was wondering if you know any videos or sites of where to start to get to know about him more , thank you!!
Hi! I'm so happy you found out about Yuzu. It's unusual for skaters to gain new fans after they've gone pro. So, that's your first indication that Yuzu is a very unique skater and person.
(I strongly encourage people who see this post and have more resources to add, to either reblog or comment!)
Here's how I started to learn more about him:
1. Planet Hanyu - it's a forum that has a huge video archive (accessible if you sign up). There's a section called Yuzuru's journey with documentaries and interviews and competition footage + the new content after he retired. It's the most complete thing I can think of. There are also sections by year, competitions and ice shows.
However, the first step I took when learning about Yuzu was by reading this page from the forum: The Great Glittering Glossary. It's a comperehensive break down of lingo about Yuzu and it also helps you understand more about him.
I would also add Planet Hanyu's Twitter account - they make regular posts - and their #OnThisDay tag is very helpful to find vids and links with Yuzu content
2. The Yuzuru Hanyu wikipedia page. Yes. It's a very good, detailed resource, constantly updated, and very reliable. His page has the status of Good Article (see here what it means)
3. For more recent stuff (starting with 2019), I highly recommend the Axel with Wings blog. It's a team which works on providing subtitles and they also have some articles translated.
4. Frankly, the most important part for me, it's watching his competition programs - I watched on YouTube all his competitive programs at all competitions he participated. And what I could not freely find on YT because of geo-blocking, I found in the video archive of Planet Hanyu. The best way to understand his excelence, also, is to watch full competitions (or at least the group he participated in competitions). He will definitely stand out. But you can't gather info about him like this, except about his skating and how he expressed himself through it.
5. Google a lot. You find something in the Glossary that's unclear or a reference about an interview or something not linked, look it up. Chances are Google will spit out a Tumblr link that has fan-translations of content not available on the Planet.
6. His various ice show performances. Different from competitive programs (sometimes) and they allow Yuzu the freedom to express his artistry much more than competitions did.
I hope this helps. Learning about Yuzu is an on-going process, it never really ends. I began learning about him in February (shortly before the Beijing Olympics). Up until March/April, I was still finding "new" info. Even now, from time to time, there's old stuff about him that I find out - like yesterday I learnt he sometimes ate at McDonald's.
Keep an eye out on these Twitter accounts for fast translations of Yuzu content - this is not an easy way to learn about Yuzu since Twitter is a pretty messy place for archiving. Nevertheless, if you plan on keeping up with current content about Yuzu/featuring Yuzu, these accounts are great.
1) Marika
2) Lae
3) LGeorgin
4) SweetYuzu
5) Tsukiyomi
6) Sarah
7) This one is a bit more organized and recent: YuzuruHanyu_Eng
Update: ^YuzuruHanyu_Eng have set up a DaikyMotion acc to post from now on. Check their twt page for more info about the change.
(Also, curate your timeline very well - there are a lot of antis and sometimes drama that's better left out).
Of course, don't forget about Yuzu's YouTube Channel, opened on 7th August and also give him a follow on Twitter & Insta. News about his first self-produced solo ice show, Prologue, will be shared on those platforms (you can find the links on my pinned post).
I truly hope this helps and that you enjoy your journey as a Fanyu.
