oh em gee you guys!!! happy SEVEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the monster kids au's creation!!

to celebrate this momentous milestone, i spent the last month or so planning out references for the main trio, pulling new ideas as well as a lot of old concepts that i snipped and grabbed pieces from.

my plans for the following year are to really delve into the story and overall plot of the au- something that was always changing and hard to pin down, because it wasn't quite fully formed yet. well, better now than never, ajdnwjdjwjbd :3

I used to tell students…the difference between poetry and you is you look in the mirror and say, “I am getting old,” but Shakespeare looks in the mirror and says, “Devouring Time, blunt thou thy lion’s paws.” —Jim Harrison IN THE BEGINNING, things were easy. Even if you didn’t think they were. I don’t mean really early in your life when your parents did almost everything for you, but as a teen…

William Hootkins in the 1980s (1 of 5)

William Hootkins appeared in an episode of Tales of the Unexpected, originating in the United Kingdom. This show featured short dramas with a twist ending most written by Raold Dahl. Hootkins had his beard at this time but would have to shave it off for a later role.

The above photos are from Tales of the Unexpected, episode entitled Taste in 1980 about a wine expert.

He also had a small role in Hussy with Helen Mirren. And yes there was a sex scene but so tastefully done that photos were pointless.

In December, 1980 Flash Gordon was released. Hootkins played Munson, Dr. Zarkov's loyal assistant, but he did have his limits.

In March of 1981, Hootkins played Winston Churchill in the UK mini-series The Life and Times of David Lloyd George, about the controversial liberal Prime Minister. This is the role that required Hoot to shave off his facial hair.

He also appeared as a Tour Guide in the movie Sphinx in 1981.

He also appeared in another Tales of the Unexpected in the episode entitled The Boy Who Talked with Animals.

In the summer of 1981 is when Raiders of the Lost Ark was released. Hootkins played in 2 scenes, probably the least memorable, although I do recall that they had "Top Men" working on what to do with the Arc.

In January of 1982, Hootkins guest starred as Teddy Roosevelt in American TV series, Bret Maverick. I hear Teddy traveled with his own portable bathtub.

In December of 1982, Hootkins played a cab driver in Trail of the Pink Panther with David Niven and Herbert Lom. He probably never met them, but he did share his scene with Joanna Lumley.

In the first half of 1983, Hootkins appeared on 3 American TV shows. One was Cagney & Lacey in February, where he played a not very cooperative and frustrating theater manager.

Another was Taxi. He played a sneaky Liquor Authority Agent who attempted to fail Jim, the bar owner and make him lose his license.

The next will have to wait til the next Hootkins post, probably tomorrow.

The best thing about Rise of the Sphinx is the evolving sentimonster and the fact that Weredad was akumatized again, but with paper this time, because he didn't want to sign all paperwork and wanted everyone to be tasked with it too.

And the pigeonbots

I think the game has some good ideas, but there are three major complaints for it for me

1.) the graphics. This would be okay for a show tie-in game in the 2000s. But /now/ in 2023? It's. It's BAD, Jim.

2.) The inconsistent timeline. The game somehow takes place in Season 3, 4, and 6 simultaneously.

3.) the price. It's $50 - $60(depending on if you get the bonus costume pack). That's just shy of what a brand new top selling Nintendo game with beautiful graphics and hours upon hours of gameplay is. Mario Wonder came out like a week ago and that's $60 and is roughly 10 hours for the main story if you're good at it. Pokemon Scarlet, though not without glitches, is also $60 and boasts a minimum 31 hours gameplay(double if you want to 100% it). Zelda Totk is $70 about 70 hours to go through the main story, and hundreds of hours if you want to just fuck around and explore every inch of the map. All three of these games are also very good to look at! Meanwhile, the Miraculous game is in that price range, but only about 4 hours of gameplay.

Things that might happen in a one-shot later because I can do what I fucking want and I'm also hilarious-

Sphinx: *[high-school level sat questions]*

Carter: *[visible confusion]*

Jim, hoping to the gods Carter paid attention in high-school geography: oh gods...

Carter: *[proceeds to give entirely correct answers but is still very visibly confused]*

Sphinx: please make sure to fill in the test with a number 2 pencil

Carter: these aren't riddles

Sphinx: I know. My demographic has changed.

Carter: I'm insulted. This insults my intelligence. What the fuck is this?

Sphinx:

Douxie: ohmygodbabynopleasedont-

___

Douxie after they escape the Sphinx: BABY WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???

Carter: WHATS WRONG WITH ME??? DID YOU NOT SEE THAT BULLSHIT?

Douxie: MY LOVE, YOU CANT JUST START A FIGHT LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE GODDAMN QUESTIONS WERE TOO EASY

Carter: THEY FUCKING WEREN'T EVEN RIDDLES

'Like you, I did not expect to walk out of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and into the library with renewed inspiration to crunch my dissertation data. Like you, I couldn’t begin to justify such a feeling in the face of the actual results of the Manhattan Project. Yet, while acknowledging the impossibility of putting aside the destruction wrought by the inventions at Los Alamos, those of us outside the business of weapons development have plenty to envy in J. Robert’s research setup.

How often do scientists find themselves with 2 billion dollars, a private ranch in New Mexico and unstoppable self-belief? Not to mention definitive knowledge of who exactly constitute the world’s best minds, and the ability to assemble them all in one place under their direction. Dr. Oppenheimer never had to question his work’s relevance or applicability; of all the things that kept the father of the atomic bomb up at night, lack of “real-world impact” was surely not one of them (restricting that impact to the “right” part of the real world was the central concern).

Given the opportunity to interview the man, you might have more pressing questions than ‘can I take a look at that grant proposal?’, but the glamor with which Hollywood depicts the scientific process makes one curious. Does world-changing science really only convalesce around privileged, misunderstood geniuses, who require nothing less than carte blanche and universal deference to realize their prophetic visions? Were the contributions of collaborators like Cornell’s Nobel prize-winning Hans Bethe and Richard Feynman really equivalent to a few choice lines and an occasional riff on the bongos? Oppenheimer would have you think so (as would A Beautiful Mind, A Theory of Everything and countless other science biopics).

Nolan’s latest offering dedicates three thought-provoking hours to dredging the soul of one man over the course of his explosive career. During this time, Oppenheimer’s, or “Oppie’s” (every patriarch needs his familiar diminutive) accolades soar from “founder, mayor, sheriff” of Los Alamos, to “sphinx-like guru of the atom,” and finally “the most important man who ever lived.” Anyone for Kool-Aid?

It is compelling (as, I gather, was the Rev Jim Jones) — and complicated enough without delving into the backstories (God forbid the mathematical workings) of our merry band of physicists. Perhaps the individual, as the atomic unit of human experience, really is the best way to communicate science to the public. Certainly, I remember being moved to close Netflix halfway through a viewing of The Man Who Knew Infinity and open up a long-unfinished manuscript that I suddenly had to complete. The scene in question featured the young Srinivasa Ramanujan running across a Cambridge quad brandishing his first publication. This sepia-toned lens made academia look like a fairytale quest for personal glory, where heroic individuals battle a world that cannot comprehend their genius.

These narratives are, of course, just that: stories designed to entertain (or whatever you call ruminating on nuclear apocalypse for three hours) cinema audiences who’d rather not spend their weekends exploring theta functions in all their glorious detail. But the fallout radiates to (and from) traditional conceptualizations of science as a “story of individual heroes […] with a hierarchical and authoritarian moral to it.”

Indeed, Oppenheimer is not alone in sensationalizing the “unstable, theatrical, egotistical, neurotic” personality of its promethean protagonist. From Einstein’s tongue to Humphrey Davy and Archimedes’ “Eureka” episode, eccentric flair appears to be the rule, rather than the exception. It is argued that Charles Darwin’s socio-economic position propelled his theories beyond those of contemporaries like Alfred Russell Wallace. Could flamboyant personalities exert similar effects?

The academy certainly still privileges the individual through concepts such as the H-index, “rockstar professors“ and “named researchers.“ By treating science as a series of individual achievements, publications and citations, the research community systematically biases against sections of academia shown to contribute more to team-oriented, educational and collaborative work. Perhaps a few brooding sages really do fill the halls over in math and physics, but the science I see every day doesn’t look like that (nor have those fields resisted the exponential increase in co-authors over the last century). Domineering faculty playing “founder, mayor and sheriff” are well known among students and avoided, except by those desperate to build their list of “rockstar” references.

My paper did eventually get published, but the process involved far more time revising and discussing with co-authors — hardly summer blockbuster material — than running across quads waving manuscripts. When we come to make films about the Predator Drone (or perhaps something that actually saved lives like the COVID-19 vaccine), will they bear the names of individuals like “Karem” and “Rossi,” or collectives like “General Atomics” and “Moderna”? I can’t say you’d find me in the front row for either, but I think it’s time we started the clock to blow the myth of the self-made scientist sky-high.'

A DREADED SUNNY DAY

We’d marked Friday as the day to have a little picnic at the Eiffel Towel, an evening picnic, so after eating an okay falafel in Le Marais for lunch (i’ve had better in brunny) we bought a few cheeses and meat from some pretty delis for later. At the cheese shop the plan was to buy one hard and one soft, but with the little french we had between us we resolved to pointing at one that looked hard and one that looked soft to take to Champ de Mars, with no idea what kind of cheese we’d be eating. On the way back to the airbnb I split from my company to visit the famous cemetery down the hill from where we were staying. I’d hitherto spent many hours in the cemeteries of the cities and towns I’d visited, however none as illustrious as the Cimetière du Père Lachaise, resting place of Chopin, Seurat, Proust, Modigliani, et al. I had a lot of time to work with as I wasn’t picnicking with the others until sunset, and it was a sweet and warm afternoon. I took myself to the monoprix by the necropolis’ southern entrance and browsed the beer fridge. A tall, scruffy, and skinny man of about my age joined me in contemplating the various bottles chilling in front of us. He was wearing a poncho over his meek shoulders, thus giving his appearance the effect of a folded standing umbrella. He asked me, in french, if I spoke english and I replied and nothing else, in english.

He selected a large and dark bottle from the fridge with a gaudy label containing scrawling (french) writing and three plump tomatoes. He asked me if I had tried this before (I hadn’t), if it was beer made from tomatoes (I supposed), and what I thought of it (sounds gross). We continued our conversation beyond his peculiar drink choice and he mentioned that he was on the way up to the cemetery to visit a grave. I mentioned I was heading there too so we bought our beers and strolled up to the cemetery gates. It was a stinker of a day for my companion - he just learned he’d received a speeding fine back home in Bristol, the last he was allowed before licence rescission, and that this was a disaster as he lives in his van and, as his parents just moved to Paris, he will now have nowhere to live. As a remedy he wanted to have some beers by the tomb of his hero: Jim Morrison. 

My knowledge of Jim Morrison doesn’t go much further than his leading of The Doors, and his intense bon vivant lifestyle that lead to an early death, in Paris (one must either have lived in or died in Paris to be buried at Pere Lachaise). Mon ami passionately filled my Jim Morrison lacuna as we walked to the grave, finding it enclosed by graffiti-laden steel temp fencing around it and an array of flowers, letters, photographs and random knick knacks, such as small dog trinkets. The Bristolian was such a fan of the lizard king that he had committed multiple Morrison poems to memory, reciting one to me by the graveside. I offered to take a photo of him standing by the grave, a grave mistake indeed as I got sent back on three occasions before he was happy with the shot (and note we were not the only visitors at the time). I called on my friend to follow me up to what I thought was the cemetery’s main attraction, the tomb of Oscar Wilde. We broke on through to the other side of the cemetery where the great Sphinx-like sculpture levitates above its neighbours. One of the more renown tombs of the world, the tomb of Oscar Wilde is not just famous due to the dandy lying within, but its design, the controversy surrounding its construction and the ongoing engagement or vandalism, depending how ya brain works, by Wilde fans makes it a very intriguing site. The tomb, a great block of stone with a kind of naked sphinx carved out of it, had various priggish detractors when it was announced it would be living in the cemetery, and the sculptor, Jacob Epstine, was given fines and hurdles to jump over from hostile police when installing it. The angelic sphinx originally had genitals where a man would usually have them, but Epstine returned to the site one day of working on it to find the testicles covered by plaster. Compromise with the police was reached when Wilde’s executor agreed a bronze butterfly would be installed to cover the testicles. Epstine did not give permission for the artwork to be altered and refused to attend the unveiling, leaving the unveiling to Aleister 'The Great Beast' Crowley, of all people. It’s said that a short time later Crowley approached Epstine at a Paris cafe to let Epstine know his problem had been fixed: around Crowley’s neck hung a necklace with the castrated butterfly balancing in its centre. 

As Wildes name and reputation progressed from scandalous to marvellous, the tomb began to apply makeup. For years visitors made their own mark on the grave by kissing it with red lipstick and liner. After a while it was realised the lipstick, and its irregular removal, was causing damage to the stone, but nothing was done about it. This adoration went on for years to the point where the tomb’s erosion was so bad that longevity was genuinely at risk, and in 2014 a glass casing was installed around it. Those who still want to kiss the stone can do so by climbing on the neighbouring grave and jumping up, and a smattering of kisses were there on my visit, for each man kills the thing he loves. All this and more was pontificated to my fellow traveller, a little bit of payback for earlier. By now the shadows from the tombs were starting to stretch across the cemetery streets so, worried about my infamous unpunctuality and time taken to get ready to go out, I thanked my companion and wishing him well headed back to the accom. 

Showered, shaved and pampered for our picnic we borrowed some wine glasses from the accommodation and smashed all but one of them in our backpack on the way to there. We came armed with champagne and the aforementioned cheese and meats and sat on the grass watching many successful proposals. Both the cheeses were soft, and one of the cheeses smelt and tasted so abhorrently it had to be removed and disposed of far away. As is common in many touristy spots, walking salesmen with ciggies, buckets of iced beer and champagne patrol the area. While we were stocked up to begin with, the champagne went down with the sun and before long we were flagging the gallic Willy Loman down and paying too much for his champagne; ice cold and brought direct to your lap, we were not protesting.  

Reading us well, our champagne salesman began to make half hourly stops past our bivouac, where he’d prosper consistently, albeit for less euros each time. One bottle went then came two then three, then four and many more and then it was 5 and we thought we’d probably had a good look at the Eiffel tower by now, surrendering to the sunrise.
