Having a doctorate in history has led you to places you never thought possible. One of those places ended up being the University of California - Berkeley. You were given the opportunity to lecture there with some of the brightest minds in the country- one of them being physicist Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. Your disciplines differed but had the same solid foundation of facts, evidence, and logic. Needing to see things to believe it for yourself was one thing the two of you had in common, which brought you together. You were interested in his lectures and as he was yours. Both of you have learned a lot from each other and have become good friends. However, there were times when you would interact, and it felt intense. You’d grade papers together in comfortable silence, sometimes stealing glances at one another. Whenever you caught Robert staring, you’d give him a small, knowing smile. When he caught you staring, he’d hold your gaze, which made you nervous. 
You enjoyed attending Robert’s political discussions after class to see how passionate he was about current issues. Dr. Lawrence, your other beloved colleague, often warned you to avoid them, but you ignored him. The energy you’d feel toward Robert every time he’d rant about how every person deserves the freedom and the right to choose was electric. It was the very basis of your beliefs as a historian and a professor. The two of you would often go for a cigarette in the courtyard between classes to enjoy the fresh air and discuss politics. Robert loved hearing your stance on things, especially since you knew your stuff about the history of politics and how things work with them. The tensions were high that day, and before you knew it, Robert leaned into you as you spoke. But before anything could happen, it was time for classes to resume. So you went your respective ways. 
When you were contacted by the government to assist on a top-secret project, you were shocked. They needed your expertise in politics and history, as well as your reading and writing skills. You asked if Robert would be involved due to his talent in psychics, but you got no answer. You didn’t take long to learn of Dr. Lawrence’s involvement in the project, and you were ecstatic to have someone you knew tagging along. He was worried about Robert not being present for the Manhattan Project simply because of his mutual and close friends being communists. You insisted you’d speak to Robert about the matter, but Ernest objected. However, after a meeting about the Spanish Revolution that Robert had held, Ernest blew up on him. He mentioned there was a project and that Robert wasn’t allowed on it as long as he was sticking his nose in communist politics. So, Robert stopped the meetings, and sure enough, General Leslie Groves eventually poked his way into Robert’s office one afternoon to discuss the Project. 
Now, the three of you were involved and had to leave Berkeley. Robert quickly assumed the position of Project leader and already had a location picked out for the Project headquarters. You had heard many stories of this location from him and demanded he take you to it before construction began. You and Robert left Berkeley and traveled to Los Alamos via horse, talking and laughing the whole time about your childhoods and times in school. You both decided to camp there overnight and enjoy the desert and its beautiful sky before dealing with the most significant project in human history. As you sat by the fire that night with Robert, you stared at the sky in wonder. Robert watched you with just as much wonder, enjoying seeing you smile. Because pretty soon, there wouldn’t be much to smile about.
By the time you had moved into Los Alamos and started getting to work, the tension between you and Robert was becoming impalpable. The camping trip solidified whatever was going on between you two- even if it was nothing at all as of right now. Robert ensured you were at every meeting so you could give your two cents if it was needed; you were the brains and the empathy of the project. Gen. Groves admired you for it because no matter how steep the project was getting, you never once panicked or got in over your head. He also admired how you managed to keep your hands off Robert despite how you looked at him. And one day, he mentioned it to you.
“What’s the first thing you’re going to do when you get out of here?” Gen. Groves asked you one day during a field test.
“Oh, uh,” you hadn’t given it much thought, “I’m not sure. Probably continue lecturing.”
“No one special in your life you want to be with?” Groves asked, a kind smile on his face.
“Not really,” you mumbled sadly, your eyes glanced over at Robert, “Not yet, anyway.”
“Maybe once all of this is over, you can pursue them,” Groves suggested knowingly, “We’re so close now. It won’t be long.”
You nodded, seeing that he knew who was on your mind just by how he studied you, “Maybe.”
After all the hard work and growing sexual tension over the tedious years at Los Alamos, the bubble separating you and Robert finally burst the morning of the Trinity Test. The test was a success, and Robert was basking in the afterglow. Everything from getting his hand shaken to being carried by the crowd of excited and ecstatic workers- it brought him some relief. There’s always sunshine before the rain. 
You invited Robert over to your quaint house on the outskirts of Los Alamos for your nightly glass of wine, but this time it was heavier. It was more meaningful because you finally accomplished what you’d been working so hard for. When Robert sat next to you on the chaise next to the fireplace, his leg touched yours. The sexual energy was like a thick, wet blanket. You took large gulps of your wine as Robert’s eyes stared into yours, his glass pressed to his lips with slower sips.
“I can’t believe it’s all over,” you shook your head.
“Me either.”
“What do we do now? What’s life after this going to be like?”
“I’m not sure about that,” Robert had set his wine down on the floor, “But I’m sure about something else.”
“And what’s that?” you asked, polishing off your drink.
“You.”
You slowly sat back up after putting your empty glass on the floor by your feet, “Me?”
“Yes,” Robert paused, “Ever since I met you, I’ve wanted you in ways I can’t explain. And I can usually explain anything.”
You chuckled at that, nodding in agreement, “That you can.”
Robert leaned in, and your smile faltered. His hand reached up to touch your cheek gently, his thumb pushing some of your hair out of the way. Your eyes fluttered shut as you waited with bated breath for Robert to finally, finally kiss you. It had been years of waiting now. And the second his lips pressed to yours, all that time seemed to drift away. There was an explosion in your chest at the feeling of Robert pressing against you on the chaise, pushing you down onto its cushions. His coat and tie have long since been discarded, so all you have to do is worry at the buttons of his shirt with your shaking fingers. Eventually, you get the shirt opened and off his slender frame as it hovered over you. Robert let his skillful tongue slip past your lips with ease, exploring every centimeter of your mouth. How you had longed for this moment.
“Need you, Robert,” you pulled away for air and sighed as his hands pushed up your legs and underneath your dress, “Always have.”
“I’m here, darling. I’m here now.”
Robert shoved the skirt of your dress over your hips and stomach, revealing your slowly soaking white and dainty underwear. He hummed in satisfaction when his finger circled the wet spot at your entrance, causing a moan to leave your lips.
“Eager, are we?” he teased, pulling down your underwear without hesitation.
“Yes,” you said bravely, “Now, nothing fancy tonight. We have plenty of time for other things, but for now, I need you inside me.”
“Alright then,” Robert chuckles, hastily unbuckling his slacks before pushing them far enough down his legs to be comfortable.
He glided his tip along your slickness, gathering all he could to push inside you with less friction. You whined at the contact, a wanton moan escaping you suddenly as he moved into you at a patient pace. But you were anything but patient, especially at this point. You pushed your hips, causing Robert to enter you further, to which he let out a delicious groan. His hands gripped your sides intensely, sure to leave bruises tomorrow. He buried his face in your neck, his teeth baring down into the skin as he felt you suck his cock in. 
“Wanted- needed this for so long,” Robert whispered in your ear as his tip finally brushed against your insides.
“God, me too,” you cried out when he slowly pulled back out and then slammed back into you, “Fuck.”
“Such a dirty mouth,” Robert tutted playfully, to which you flashed him a smile, moving your hips to wiggle him further inside you.
Robert had thrust himself into you again, this time a little faster than the last. He kept doing this until he had a steady rhythm, lifting your legs to put on his shoulders to get a better angle. You growled at the sensation of him hitting your cervix, and your hands scratched down his back. Robert picked up speed, almost making the chaise scoot on the floor. He was fucking you like mad, and you were taking every second of it like his cock was water and you were thirsting in the desert. In this situation, the figure of speech wasn’t too far from the truth. The feeling of him repeatedly steering into your stomach made you nearly squeal from pleasure. Robert presses your thighs to your shoulders, the undersides of them against his chest. You were a mess, moaning like a whore and gripping Robert as if you blinked hard enough, he’d disappear.
“Taking me like such a good girl,” Robert grunted, moving a hand to your cunt to swipe at your clit in time with his thrusts.
You tossed your head back, crying out at the sensation. No one had ever fucked you with such vigor and passion. You felt that growing bubble in your gut, expecting it to burst any second.
“Cum in me,” you demanded, “Need to feel you.”
Robert laughed breathlessly at you, “Are you sure?”
“Certain.”
And as if he weren’t going fast enough, he pulled out, flipped you over, and took you from behind even faster than before. Robert pushed your cheek into the chaise cushion, watching you as you side-eyed him with utmost pleasure. You could feel yourself clenching around him, your orgasm creeping up. Robert pushed your lower back down as far as it’d go, your stomach flush with the material of the chaise underneath you. Your ass being in the air caused Robert to hit a new spot inside you, sending you reeling and spilling over the edge. As your cunt suffocated his cock with its walls, Robert followed your release with his own. His hot cum filled you up with warmth, your hips still bouncing against him. Robert panted from behind you, slowly pulling himself out of your now-dripping pussy. 
You rolled back onto your back, now facing Robert, “That was… wow,” you exhaled.
“I concur,” Robert joked, sitting back and pulling you onto his lap.
You hummed in exhaustion, blissed out as you hung your head on his shoulder.
“Want to stay?” you asked tiredly, eyeing the now-spilled remainder of wine Robert had placed on the floor earlier. You’d worry about it tomorrow.
“I’d love to,” Robert muttered into your ear, kissing it before picking you up off his lap.
The rest of your night is spent watching Robert study you as you lay beside each other in bed. He took you in as if he was seeing you in a new perspective- and he was. Robert was as curious about you as he was about the world and how it worked. Except now, he had to worry about not destroying you like he had the world.

You mentioned Clark Ashton Smith. Which of his stories would you recommend? So far I've been underwhelmed.
Context for anyone who doesn't know: Clark Ashton Smith was one of the "Big Three" of Weird Tales (the other two being Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard) and is certainly the least famous. Even if you don't know who Lovecraft or Howard are, you've probably heard of Cthulu and Conan the Barbarian. Smith is also certainly the weirdest of them all by a good margin and the most inconsistent in his writing. You pick up a Lovecraft story and 90% of the time it's going to be at least competently written and you know the broad strokes of what the content will be (unnameable cosmic horrors, nervous breakdowns, and often very explicit racism). A Smith story is just as likely to feel like it was written by an accomplished poet as it is to feel like a teenager's drivel. And it could be about wizards at the end of time, or spacewrecked astronauts, or medieval French bishops. The only consistent thing about his work is that you'll need a dictionary by your side while you read it. Get ready for words like "mephitic," "hippocephalic," and "cyclopean" to be abused in ways that even Lovecraft probably found egregious. (Emperor of Dreams? More like Emperor of Purple Prose! Haha, good joke Logan.) The bizzarity and unevenness of his output are probably the qualities that I find so engaging about it and also the things that have kept him from being as beloved as his peers into the present day.
Anyway, I haven't done a deep-dive on Smith since I read his complete works all the way through. Some of his stories are pretty fresh in my mind, but most of them I haven't read in 5-6 years. Keep all that in mind and I'll put my recommendations below the break:
Tumblr media
"The Vaults of Yoh-Vombis": Definitely my personal favorite Smith story and probably one of his best. If you don't like this one, it's unlikely you'll be a fan. On its own a very good "ancient cosmic horror" story, what really makes it stand out is it's setting: a near-future (relative to the 1932 publication date) Mars that has been colonized (in a very 19th century sense of the word) by humans. The Martian city of Ignarh is apparently a hub for interplanetary commerce and the subaltern Martian indigenous population provide local guides for human archaeologists to study (and no doubt exploit) the ruins of ancient civilizations that abound on the planet. Smith wrote two other stories in the same setting, "The Dweller in the Gulf" and "Vulthoom" that re-tread the same plot beats but lend a little more color to the Martians themselves. A writer capable of viewing the Martians as sympathetic peoples rather than as "native savages" could've spun this setting into something truly great. Richard Corben also does a fantastic comic adaptation.
"The Abominations of Yondo": Didn't like the first recommendation? I'll take one more shot at making you a fan. "Abominations" is a very short read that manages to contain all the hallmarks of a classic Smith story. Nobody else does it like him and if you don't like it then you just don't like it.
"City of the Singing Flame": A story of inter-dimensional exploration that manages to weave together Smith's obvious love for his home state of California with his penchant for imaginary places beyond time and space. It has a sequel that I thought was okay but most people dislike. If you like this story, it's probably better to treat it as a standalone.
"A Night in Malnéant": A somber, dreary horror tale that I don't think gets enough love or at least isn't anthologized particularly often. Tones down the weirdness a bit, but in a good way.
"Isle of the Torturers": Far-future horror-fantasy that really sticks the ending. Also does the same thing as "Yoh-Vombis" where it has a setting that's only briefly introduced but could easily be spun into a full-on novel. Great Halloween read.
Off the top of my head, those are some of my personal favorites. "Return of the Sorcerer" gets anthologized a lot. It's not weird enough for me but I think it's considered one of his better stories. Similarly I'm not a big fan of his Averoigne cycle of stories (set in medieval France), but if you want some dark ages sword and sorcery, "Mother of Toads" and "The Colossus of Ylourgne" are the ones I liked best.
I'd also like to mention "The Great God Awto" which is a truly bad short story but notable for being one of the earliest pieces of anti-car fiction of which I'm aware. Predates Bradbury's "The Pedestrian" by more than a decade.
Also if you can't find any of Smith's work at your local library, check out eldritchdark.org. I believe all his fiction is available for free here as well as his visual art and other resources.

and finally, share some sunny words for your friends & followers:
i shall leave you instead with my favorite poem :
At lunchtime I bought a huge orange—
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
They got quarters and I had a half.
And that orange, it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.
This is peace and contentment. It’s new.
The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all the jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I’m glad I exist.
— Wendy Cope

WIP Wednesday
Well, I haven't been able to get 3x16 out of my head. So. As much as I didn't need to start a new fic. I started a new fic. This is going to be double whump (Owen and TK). It spun from a conversation with @marjansmarwani about how TK would react to having an uncle and all of this. Here is a long (sorry) preview (because I couldn't decide what section to post).
He slumped a little and let out a long breath. He wanted a break. Maybe that vacation he kept promising he’d take. Maybe a return to California. Visit some people again. Maybe not by himself this time. Maybe…
His phone buzzed with an incoming video call. He huffed as he saw the name. 
“Speak of the devil,” he mumbled to himself. He glanced around, making sure no one was around, cursing his normally beloved glass walls. He shook his head, but couldn’t help the small smile that crossed his face as he accepted the call. 
“Owen! Hey, I wasn’t sure if you’d be able to pick up.”
Owen smiled a bit. “Yeah. You had good timing, Robert. Just got back from a call.” He tried to stifle a yawn, plastering on a smile for his brother. 
Robert furrowed his brow. “Looks like a rough one. You look exhausted.”
Owen shrugged. “Par for the course.” He glanced away, looking out at the crew. Judd was across the hall in Tommy’s office. TK was there with them, probably helping his Captain with the reports from their last scene. It had been a rough call. 
“Here if you need to talk,” Rober interjected. 
“I know. I appreciate it.”
“You just don’t take me up on it much,” he deadpanned in return, giving Owen a knowing smile. “Look, I know you haven’t known me long. And I probably don’t have the right to try but–”
“You do,” Owen added gently. “Not about you. Promise.” He chewed on his lip. “It was a water rescue. I don’t have the best history with those.” He let out a long breath, not wanting to explain. Not wanting to really talk about his other brother. The one Robert wouldn’t know. Never could have. 
Robert nodded, letting out a matching sigh. “Tyler?” 
For a moment, Owen couldn’t help but think of both the Tylers in his life. The brother the water took on a hot day in California, and the son who nearly died because of the ice water in Texas of all places. 
He cleared his throat. “Dad told you about him?”
“Some. He spoke of you both. Not a lot. But some.” 
Owen hadn’t expected that. Not about Tyler. He knew Walter had spoken some of him. Helen knew who he was. Robert mentioned stories from when he was a kid. But this…
“Owen?”
“Hmm? Sorry, what were you saying?”
Robert looked worried before continuing. “I asked what happened on the call?”
Owen nodded. “Had to send my crew out into a lake. Group of teenagers racing boats. Just being dumb kids.” Like he had been. “Had to send out some of my crew to get them out.” He left it at that. Not wanting to share how TK had been the medic to go out. How everyone watched him. How he couldn’t stop picturing his son with that damned tube down his throat a year ago. How he couldn’t breathe for a moment as his son dove under the water to help. 
“Jesus,” Robert gasped. “I’m sorry to hear that.”
“Thanks.” Owen forced another smile on his face. “So, what’s up with you? I didn’t think you were going to call til next week?”
“Yeah, know I said that, but wanted to talk to you about something.”
“Shoot.” Owen tried to relax back in his seat.
“Well, I was going to ask how you’d feel about me coming to Texas?” Owen stiffened for a moment. “It’s okay if you don’t want me to. It’s not a big deal. I have a business trip in San Antonio next week. I thought maybe it could be nice to drive up to see you. Or meet half way. Or–”
“Yeah. Maybe,” Owen agreed. He glanced up again, seeing TK walking toward his office. “Hey, I’ve gotta go, Rob. Can you let me look at my schedule and give you a call back? I’ll see if I can find a day to come to San Antonio or a stop half way.” He tried to rush off the call. TK was stepping toward his office, knocking on the door and pushing it open out of habit. Owen never really cared if he just came in. But, he wasn’t ready to tell him about this. To dump all this onto his son. 
“Sure, Owen. Just call.”
“I will. Talk soon.” He clicked off the call and turned his phone face down. “Hey son.” He forced that smile once again, pushing down the guilt he felt for both TK and his brother. Both his brothers. 
“Hey dad,” TK smiled, much more genuinely that Owen and took a seat across from his desk. “Who was that on the phone? They sounded familiar.”
Owen sighed. “No one you know, buddy. Just an old friend.” He pushed back from his desk and walked around to TK, cupping the back of his neck. “Get warmed up after that last call?”
TK laughed. “Yeah. I think Nancy practically followed me around with towels and thermometers until Tommy finally came to my rescue.”
Owen huffed a laugh at that, patting TK on the back. He leaned back against his desk. “She worries about you.”
“I know.” TK shrugged and slumped into the chair. 
“So, did you come in here to complain about your partner looking out for you health? Or…”
“I didn’t come in to bitch about, Nancy,” TK laughed. “Wanted to see if you were still good for dinner tomorrow? I know things have been so busy lately and we haven’t really had a chance to hang out. But I’d like to. If you can.”
“Of course, kid. I’ll drop you off back at yours once we’re done. We can go anywhere you want. After shift.”
“Seriously? Anywhere?” He raised an eyebrow. “Even places that have carbs and sodium and–”
“Okay, anywhere within reason.” Owen held his hands up in defeat, a real smile finally coming on his face. 
God he loved his kid.

Fourteenth Week
Hi, my name is Robert Laskarzewski, and I am currently a sophomore at the Darla Moore School of Business studying International Business and Marketing. I’m a part of the International Business Responsible International Leadership (RIL) program and will spend the Spring and Fall semesters at the ESSEC Cergy campus. I was born and raised in California, about an hour away from San Francisco. I chose to attend the University of South Carolina specifically because of the RIL program and the amount of time abroad that was offered. Once I was accepted, it was an easy choice to choose to pursue my studies there.
Unsurprisingly, I started my Monday by going to the Paris Flea Market again. I realized that the market was far bigger than I had realized. There were two or three other sections that I had not stepped foot in until this week – I’ll be back in the coming weeks for sure. I also went to go get some of my film developed at a place called Negatif, an independent film developing studio in the center of Paris. I had found it on google and the place was really interesting and exactly what I expected of a film developing shop. Later whence I was back in Cergy, I visited the Église Saint-Christophe de Cergy, a church near the Cergy port area (construction beginning in the 12th century and finishing in the 13th century).
On Tuesday, I had my final for my E-business class which was taken in-person but online. On Wednesday, I did another long run to the Axe Majeur of Cergy where I could take in the nice weather we were having. I also had my last class session for my EU history class, one of my favorite classes that I’ve had so far. On Thursday, I had part of my French language final where we had to listen to several audio excerpts and answer some questions about them (I thought it was easier than the mid term that we had).
On Friday, I had my final Responsible Marketing class where my group had to present our final proposition for Longchamp (a recycled leather jewelry program) and a video along with it. Afterwards, I went to Paris to pick up my developed film but unfortunately, out of the 72 pictures I had taken, (2 rolls of 36 pictures) only 4 had been captured correctly a bleak 5% success rate. Although I was a little disappointed, I knew that this was just part of the learning process and that I can only hope to improve upon it. Either way, I received a refund from the store, so it wasn’t a complete loss. For dinner, I went to a restaurant in the port with some of my friends and I got a big hamburger.
On Saturday, the only thing on my agenda was attending the Paris F.C. game against Saint-Étienne – a team with lots of history and a successful past but now is stuck in the second division of French soccer. As soon as I arrived, my heart was in my stomach as I saw the crowds of green gathering outside the stadium (green being the color of Saint-Étienne). Although P.F.C. was technically ranked higher than Sainté, I knew that the number of supporters could be troublesome for my beloved Parisians. Less than a minute in, the visitors were a goal up – a nightmare scenario for the home team. I thought there was no way the team could get back into the game after being shocked by such an early goal, but they were somehow able to scrape back one goal. Then another. The home crowd was flying, the belief was there that a win was possible. Less than five minutes later, the visitors scored again, putting the Parisians back at square one. Two quick consecutive goals for the visitors in the second half meant that all hope was lost by the end of the game. The visitors’ end was roaring with their devoted fans, and it felt like the stadium was being dominated by green shirts in the stands. Despite the loss, the home fans (myself included) still clapped for the team as they left the field after the game to put in a valiant performance against a side with such huge support.
On Sunday, I was supposed to have an Easter brunch with several of the members of my cohort, but unfortunately the plans fell through. Instead, I ended up getting an early dinner with some of my friends at a small taco restaurant. It was good but could not compare to what I would be able to get in the states. Afterwards, we got ice cream and wandered throughout Parc Monceau, a pretty park that was filled with locals and tourists alike, soaking in the sunny weather.

It saddens me to see the loss of such a positive influence in the designer toy world. I’ll never forget what you did for me & our fun conversations.🙏Rest in peace my friend! ………Yesterday’s repost from @lulubell_toys • The world lost a legend today. 🌹 With heavy heart I share that Connell Ray Little (@phuntsy) left our world early this morning peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by friends. He was 81 years young. ********************************Thank you to everyone who shared a photo, memory or left a comment for #phuntsyridesforever The sheer amount of love was surely a highlight in Connell’s final days. He was truly touched and grateful for everyone he’d come to meet in this world. Immense gratitude to @dollar_slice_bootlegs @iron_paw @uhohtoys @clearwithguts for driving out from California to join their beloved friend on his final journey. Your friendships and commpassion were a beautiful and inspiring thing to witness. I appreciate the moral support on this journey as well. You guys are all amazing humans. Thank you so much to @manic_1mag3s for being here to support Connell in his final days as well as tremendous personal hand holding throughout. To witness Robert capturing Connell so beautifully in one final shoot is a memory I will always treasure. Connell had very little energy that day, but sprang into life for the camera. Robert shot no more than 6 photos I believe, the entire scene was amazing to witness. I’ll let Robert share that story when he’s ready. Thank you @thedevilskaiju for being my rock, sleepover buddy, Mr. Mom, and therapist all in one. David and Connell shared many sofubi laughs over the last couple weeks that we will always treasure. And to @mydogeatspecans , thank you and @pricklynopales for being such guiding lights during such a difficult time. You brought so much grace and comfort to not only Connell but us all. All of these people and more were Connell’s family. He truly loved this community, thank you to all for being such a part of his life. Thank you @phuntsy for all you gave to all of ours. No one will ever fill those maroon velvet sneakers of yours. Until you ride again 🫶🏻 #phuntsyridesforever #rip #spaceknightconnell https://www.instagram.com/p/CnE8MzRr1TZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just finished watching The Road Within (2014) spoilers i guess
I recognized all the filming locations Yosemite, Mariposa, and Santa Cruz because, even the beginning mental hospital reminded me of gentrified Palo Alto mostly just like the vibes. Nice to know that this road trip movie exists. Also even more fascinated to know that Zöe Kravitz, Dave Patel, and Robert Sheehan just chilled in so many parts of California cause mood (reminded me of some parts of my undergrad days).
Like they were never in Nevada let me tell you.
Also touch starved platonic intimacy my beloved.
I’d rec this movie. There is a sex scene (i wonder how many ticks they got) but it’s short. But even more fascinating to me is the vibe of like omg that’s what California looks like to me in some interior shots and stuff.
oh this is apparently a remake of a movie in 2010. cool

Such is life! Behold, a new Post published on Greater And Grander about Civil War Mockumentary BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM Wraps Production with a Star-Studded Cast
See into my soul, as a new Post has been published on https://greaterandgrander.com/civil-war-mockumentary-bullets-over-antebellum-wraps-production-with-a-star-studded-cast/
Civil War Mockumentary BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM Wraps Production with a Star-Studded Cast
Tumblr media
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — December 4, 2023 — Greater and Grander Productions is excited to announce the successful completion of production for BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM the highly anticipated satirical mockumentary that offers a fresh perspective on a second American Civil War. The director leads an ensemble of talent that includes Oscar nominee Eric Roberts, Golden Globe nominee Beverly D'Angelo, and original MAD TV cast member Debra Wilson.
BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM delves into an alternate reality where America grapples with the consequences of a divisive war over escalating issues surrounding reproductive rights. The project was initially introduced as "Civil War 2," but as it continued to evolve, the title transformation to BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM mirrors the film's unique blend of humor, satire, and historical context.
Oscar nominee Eric Roberts, celebrated for his versatile career and captivating performances in films such as RUNAWAY TRAIN and THE DARK KNIGHT, brings his undeniable talent to the BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM cast as a sports collectible dealer turned union spy, Luke Russell. Joining Roberts is Golden Globe nominee Beverly D'Angelo, known for her unforgettable roles in the NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION series and COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, who plays the first Chairwoman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  Completing this star-studded lineup is the incomparable Debra Wilson, an original cast member of the beloved sketch comedy series MAD TV, whose comedic prowess and dramatic performance, adds depth to the film's already impressive ensemble.  
Ms. Wilson commented, “I’m looking forward to seeing all of these fun and interesting characters with this very interesting plot come together.  I think this is unique, and I think the storyline is unique as well.”
Actress, Virginia Jones (best known for PORTLANDIA), who plays a Christian Nationalist supporter, also says, “BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM is an absolutely bonkers satire about the darkest parts of the American experience.  It is at once phenomenally silly, and very very sad."
Cinematographer, Alessandro Gentile (best known for SCHITT’S CREEK, and SOMETHING REAL AND GOOD) signed on to the project, and says, “I think that BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM is extremely witty on its satirical take on the US government. It’s over the top dialogue really drives the film’s absurd narrative.”
Actor, Philip McGrade, best known for his work in HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON and THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON, plays a secret agent who gathers information while performing as a drag queen.  He’s quoted as saying, “I love working with Richard and I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. Such a great concept, I wish I’d thought of it!”
With production wrapped, BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM now enters the post-production phase, where the creative team will craft the humorous, yet thought-provoking narrative. The director's vision is to maintain a witty and entertaining tone while shedding light on contemporary social tensions and raising awareness of their potential implications.
Stay tuned for more updates on BULLETS OVER ANTEBELLUM as it journeys through post-production and approaches its highly anticipated release.

Five Unforgettable Films by Randall Miller
Randall Miller, a longtime director, is thought for his off-kilter comedic fashion and character-driven films. As anyone who's got directed mainstream, big-budget Hollywood movies in addition to a amount of unbiased movies, Miller only normally takes on projects that connect a further meaning and will resonate with audiences all around the planet.
“I make films with heart,” reported Miller. “I want people to have the ability to connect with my movies and find the which means in them.”
Honoring Miller’s career, let’s take a seem back again at some of his most acclaimed tasks.
“Bottle Shock”
“Bottle Shock” stars Alan Rickman as being a snooty British sommelier who arrives to California wine country inside the 1970s to find what all the excitement is all about. The business in California is younger, as well as wine enterprise stays pretty snobby regarding the superiority of French wines. On the other hand, with Rickman on their own side, a father and son winemaking staff, played respectively by Bill Pullman and Chris Pine, proves the snobs erroneous. This feel-good movie which has a rocking 1970s soundtrack can be a beloved tale of the gatherings that place Napa wines to the map.
Tumblr media
“CBGB”
Another collaboration with Alan Rickman, “CBGB” catalogues the increase of the famed punk rock location in seventies Ny. Like “Bottle Shock,” the film is about an underdog going from the percentages and coming out on top rated. For virtually any music connoisseur, this film is often a must-see.
“Marilyn Hotchkiss’ Ballroom Dancing & Charm School”
“Marilyn Hotchkiss’ Ballroom Dancing & Charm School” stars an amazing cast - Marisa Tomei, Robert Carlyle, John Goodman, Mary Steenburgen, and Danny DeVito - in the touching film about love and loss. The movie follows widower Frank (Carlyle) who helps Steve (Goodman) fulfill his dying desire to reunite by using a former love interest, Marienne (Steenburgen). Simultaneously, Carlyle finds his own love: Meredith (Tomei). This love story may have you crying and rooting for the characters simultaneously.
“Nobel Son”
This dark comedy can be a third Rickman-Miller collaboration. In it, Rickman plays Eli Michaelson, a Nobel Prize winner who receives the award’s handsome payout. Having said that, everything goes incorrect when a criminal kidnaps his son and holds him for ransom for that prize money. This dysfunctional family is place to the test when things are on the line. “Rickman was always brilliant to work with, and Jody and I miss him dearly,” explained Miller. “’Nobel Son’ was some of the very best work of his occupation.”
“Class Act”
Miller’s first movie would be a prince-and-pauper tale of switched identity. The movie stars Kid N Play in this absurdist take on a high school comedy romp. Still in his twenties, Miller made his first film for Warner Bros. The film can be a love letter towards the steady diet of great John Hughes movies he was raised on. Repeatedly through the years, he has been approached about a remake.

A Mighty Triumph
“When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely He was the Son of God!” Matthew 27:54NIV
Roman soldiers ‘got’ what Pharisees couldn’t understand. They understood the manifestation of Christ.
The veil separating the ‘holy place’ from the ‘most holy place’ was torn in two from top to bottom. Finally, God could be with the mankind He'd made and loved. Historian Josephus reportedly wrote that the temple’s veil was 4 inches thick.
A major phenomena was the total solar eclipse for three hours, noon to three. I was in the solar eclipse in California back in 2017, it wasn’t three hours. Per Google— ‘The longest possible duration of a total solar eclipse is 7 minutes and 32 seconds.’ The earth stopped rotation and no one realized time literally stood still. God can accomplish anything He chooses to do.
Besides the strange events— Can you imagine the grief of Mary, Mary Magdalene, the apostles, His other beloved followers? I’ve comforted spouse’s grieving for their deceased mates, also parents grieving for their child. My best friend lost both son and husband within seven days. We leaned on each other and sobbed for days, she for years. Jesus’ followers didn’t lose a cherished friend, beloved son. No! They lost their hopes forever for their nation’s future, for they knew He was Messiah. They’d expected Him to save them from Rome then.
Rather than being dead, Jesus spent three days busy in the bowels of the earth. Ephesians 4:8-10NIV describes this time. “…When He ascended on high, He took many captives and gave gifts to His people.” (What does “He ascended” mean except that He also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)” — Colossians 2:15ESV adds to this description. “He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him.” — Christ tells what He did in Hades in Revelation 1:18ESV. “And the Living One. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.”
Jesus removed from satan forever the power over death, for every believer, when He took away satan’s keys. One experience I had almost took my life. I walked the hallway to death. I can tell you, the pain you can’t stand is the threshold to that hallway between life and the hereafter. After that— “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1Corinthians 15:54-56ESV. We’ll never experience more than that one unendurable pain. Glory to God. Some won’t even experience that pain.
Grief had to give way to exuberant joy. These followers of Christ had the most blessed resurrection Sunday. Joy unspeakable and full of glory. Mom shared in that joy. Every Resurrection Sunday Mom’s wonderful, alto voice awoke the family singing what Robert Lowry penned— “Up from the grave He arose; With a mighty triumph o’er His foes; He arose the Victor from the dark domain. And He lives forever, with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!”
What I want to tell you today is— no grief here: HALLELUJAH HE IS RISEN INDEED!
Do you know Him today? Don’t turn Him away? Choose Jesus the VICTOR. It’s your choice. You choose.
LET’S PRAY: Holy Yahweh, thank You for the wise plan You had to rescue humanity from hell. Thank You for paying the price of separation, and seeing Your only Son punished and murdered for us. Help us to appreciate this more and spread the gospel, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

As it Was (1/3 - 911LS fic)
4.7k | AO3
Summary: Owen has always been good at separating things. Before and afters. All separate. Even his brother. Well, brothers. That was why Owen hadn’t talked about Robert yet. Why TK didn’t know everything. Yet. He planned to tell him. He did. When the time was right. He had no way of knowing a ceiling would come down on him and TK on a call, forcing all the things in his life to suddenly come together. In every way. No longer separate.
After posting for WIP Wednesday, I ended up writing the rest of the chapter. Do I need to be posting a fic when I have a ton of other things on my task list? Probably not. But has this idea been stuck in my head ever since episode 3x16 aired? Definitely. So, here we are. I plan to have three chapters and really just wanted to explore family/relationship dynamics, and to play with how I could see TK and Carlos reacting to Robert. Special thanks to @marjansmarwani for listening and plotting with me, and @aanathemaa, @doublel27, @mtnofgrace, @halsteadmarchs, and @alilypea for reading over this. And yes, I promise @lire-casander, I'm going back to working on my Big Bang tonight lol.
He sank down in his seat, running a hand over his face. It had been a long day. It would still be a long day. They all still had another twenty-four on their shift. Even if they were exhausted. If he was exhausted. Twenty-four more hours to go.
It had been a long day.
Long week really.
Hell, the whole damn year hadn’t been that great.
When was the last time things ever were?
He slumped a little and let out a long breath. He wanted a break. Maybe that vacation he kept promising he’d take. Maybe a return to California. Visit some people again. Maybe not by himself this time. Maybe…
His phone buzzed with an incoming video call. He huffed as he saw the name.
“Speak of the devil,” he mumbled to himself. He glanced around, making sure no one was around, cursing his normally beloved glass walls. He shook his head, but couldn’t help the small smile that crossed his face as he accepted the call.
“Owen! Hey, I wasn’t sure if you’d be able to pick up.”
Owen smiled a bit. “Yeah. You had good timing, Robert. Just got back from a call.” He tried to stifle a yawn, plastering on a smile for his brother.

Today's Daily Encounter 13th September 2022
Beloved Hymns: Now Thank We All Our God
“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”1
There are 138 passages of Scripture in the Bible that speak of thanksgiving. Unfortunately, there are very few hymns that were written on the subject. Among those few we find “Now Thank We All Our God”, a beloved hymn sung around the world, particularly among German Christians. It was written by Martin Rinkart, a Lutheran pastor in the little village of Eilenberg, Saxony. Martin felt the call to be a pastor and begin his ministry just as the Thirty Years’ War was raging through Germany. It was the most desperate of times as refugees flooded into the walled city of Eilenberg. The Swedish army surrounded the gates of the city, while inside the walls the people were plagued with sickness, famine, and fear. More than eight hundred homes were destroyed, and the number of deaths increased daily. There was a tremendous strain on the pastors who were in constant care for the sick and dying. Much of their strength was spent on burying the dead and preaching the Gospel. The pastors themselves began to fall ill and, one by one, perished until only Martin Rinkart remained. On some days he, alone, conducted as many as fifty funerals. Finally, when the Swedes demanded ransom, it was Martin Rinkart who went out to negotiate with the enemy. He armed himself with courage and faith and soon saw an end to the hostility; the period of suffering was over. Rinkart, knowing there is no healing without thanksgiving, composed this hymn for the survivors of Eilenberg and has been sung in thankfulness ever since.2
Now Thank We All Our God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done, in Whom this world rejoices.
Who, from our mothers’ arms, hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.3
Suggested Prayer: Dear Father God, thank you for all of your blessings and the protection you provide us. Thank you, also, for the trials you allow to come my way; for using hardship to make my faith in you grow stronger. I lift my hands to you today with a thankful heart for all you do and who you are! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 1. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV). 2. “Then Sings My Soul” book written by Robert J. Morgan. 3. “Now Thank We All Our God”, Martin Rinkart, 1636.
