I'd love to know more about Heather if there is anything you can share about her that isn't spoilers! She never got to meet her, but Olive feels a connection to Heather through their trauma and wishes could have met her. Olive feels very isolated in that there is nobody who can truly understand what she went through, but Heather and the Kidnapper's other victims would be the people that could. Their experience with the kidnapper was different than Olive's, but they would still understand what it feels like to be at the Kidnapper's mercy. The closest she can get to connecting to her Kidnapper's other victims is through Wren and his memories of Heather. If Wren is up to sharing, learning about Heather is potentially very healing for Olive.

I’ll share what I can about Heather if you have anything specific you’d like to know about her!

W isn’t that forthcoming about Heather. Not because they don’t wish to keep her memory alive, or that they hate talking about her, but they absolutely loathe the feelings that come with it. Whenever they used to speak about Heather, whenever they used to think about her, it was always filled with a gentle warmth, a steady stream of love, and the levity of said action lifted the weight from their shoulders… Now? It’s filled with nothing but pain, anger, and grief. The feeling of what if and if only permeates every memory now— tainting them with a darkness W never wished for Heather to be associated with. They hate what their memory has done, they hate what their heart continues to do, and they absolutely loathe what they know they can never change. The only person that W feels comfortable talking about Heather to (barring her sister) is Scott, W believes strongly that he should remember his aunt as the wonderful person she used to be. The woman who loved him to the moon and back.

You’ll learn bits and pieces about Heather, but it’ll never be the full picture because it’s not something W would be able to share. You’ll get the general image though.

The Saint: The Man Who Liked Lions (5.8, ITC, 1966)

The Dream Syndicate have been a growing favorite over the past decades. My friend Rick was always pushing them, and while I never resisted, I never really embraced the band. However, I can state unequivocally that "That's What You Always Say" was an immediate favorite. "Halloween" soon followed. Then my friend Eric played "The Days of Wine and Roses" at one of our many listening parties.

Then I bought "The Complete Live at Raji's" and got the chance to see the band live. Wow.

I'm probably not telling anyone anything they don't already know. But this reissue of The Day of Wine and Roses by UK-based Fire Records is special. The extras are just incredible. People often list other "Paisley Underground" bands like The Three O'Clock, The Bangles, Green on Red and Rain Parade when discussing The Dream Syndicate. And while I have no doubt those bands were part of a scene, they don't necessarily sound like one another.

To me, The Dream Syndicate recalls the work of True West, The Wipers and Television. Steve Wynn started bands here in Davis, California (with Kendra Smith and later Scott Miller), but he formed The Dream Syndicate in Los Angeles.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, is a film so permanent you don’t even know how much influence it's had until you've seen it. This satirical take on the Cold War is both hilarious and terrifying thanks to an impeccable attention to detail, terrific performances, and more than one scene that will stick with you forever.

United States Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) has done the unthinkable and single-handedly declared nuclear war against the USSR. With foolproof safety precautions preventing further orders from reaching the planes approaching enemy territory, his executive officer Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers) desperately searches for a way to recall the attack. Meanwhile, the President of the United States (played by Sellers again) attempts to prevent the incoming catastrophe with the help of his advisors and the mysterious Dr. Strangelove (Sellers one more time).

The film begins with an assurance that what takes place here could never happen in real life. This statement is about as convincing and reassuring as a friendly dinner invitation from Hannibal Lecter. No detail is spared when showing us the codes, secret envelopes, radio signals, and equipment that form this air-tight mechanism designed to prevent wrong orders from reaching the planes. These planes - always in the air and always ready to strike - ensure that if the Soviet Union decides to strike "the free world" retaliation will be swift. But what happens when a jingoistic lunatic decides that counterattacking isn’t good enough? It could mean a long-lasting nuclear winter that’ll wipe out all humanity. If not, it could be the much-needed catalyst to usher us into an era of global peace. That’s, of course, if General Ripper can be prevented from damning us all.

So thorough is this exploration of mutually-assured nuclear destruction that only repeat viewings will allow you to appreciate the humorous side of this scenario. Like so many boneheaded attempts by the Soviet Union and the U.S.A. to one-up each other during the Cold War, Dr. Strangelove is funny in hindsight but in the moment it makes you sweat buckets. The suspense is intensified by how many people fail to realize how close they are to complete annihilation. That, in turn, is what makes it so funny. Seeing Captain Mandrake sit back and try to remain calm while he’s listening to General Ripper’s rambling logic, General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott) trying and spin the scenario into something positive for the President, witnessing the clearly insane Dr. Strangelove (who isn’t actually in the film all that much) propose a solution in case war does break out makes you want to jump into a straightjacket… until you realize your side of the screen is perfectly safe.

There are so many memorable elements in this film. Dr. Strangelove and his Alien Hand Syndrome (a syndrome often called Dr. Strangelove Syndrome), Ripper yammering about “precious bodily fluids” or the U.S. President’s interactions with the Russian President, the introduction credits, the music, the design of the Pentagon’s War Room, the screenplay, the cinematography (gorgeous and chilling black-and-white) and the performances. Every aspect of filmmaking is firing on all cylinders. It’s a movie you want to come back to again and again to catch all of the little details. There’s no way you can get everything Dr. Strangelove has to offer on a single viewing because unless you know ahead of time, there’s no way you’d recognize Sellers in his three roles. And that ending! This is a must-see. (On Blu-ray, October 20, 2017)

Sequel Stack Challenge

I was tagged to do this six ages ago by @bibliophilecats and @appleinducedsleep. Thank you and sorry for being so late!

So as far as I’m aware the challenge is just to make a stack of sequels that you’ve read (or maybe not read--I don’t know, there weren’t any rules). But I decided to put my own little spin on it. This is the Unexpected Sequel Stack, meaning that when the author announced the sequel or when I became aware of their existence, I was surprised because I hadn’t expected a sequel.

Extras by Scott Westerfeld (Uglies #4)

Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones (Howl’s Moving Castle #2)

House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones (Howl’s Moving Castle #3)

Doctor Sleep by Stephen King (The Shining #2, kinda)

Shadowsong by S. Jae-Jones (Wintersong #2)

West by Edith Pattou (East #2)

I’m not tagging anyone, but if you want to do it, consider yourself tagged!

How would romancing W be like ? What kind of tropes if that's not too spoilery? Because they're the one who seems less...involved? super cold and stuff, even when romanced if i understood the previous asks idk

is it because of their trauma with Heather (that's fair tbh) or is it just their personality ? because the oc i made for W was kinda emotional and bubbly but shy etc... idk if that would actually work to romance them... Would K find them annoying? 😅

W is very loving and involved… they’re just not over the top with physical affection and don’t feel the need to fill silences with needless chatter when the silence is comfortable as it is. PDA isn’t something they enjoy, even with Heather, but they’ll hold your hand or place their hand on the small of your back (or kiss your cheek). They’ll be by your side, protect you with everything they have, but they also have lines that they don’t like to cross and that won’t change— no matter who they’re with.

They can handle an overly emotional MC, but that doesn’t mean they’ll ever become super emotional themself. They’ll try to express themself a bit more if that’s what their partner would need, more than they already would once romanced, but not to the point where they’d feel like their entire personality was shifting in order to accommodate the person they’re with. It’s a give and take.

They’re not the warmest person, but I wouldn’t say they’re cold either. At least when it comes to the people they care for. They’re just who they are, and some people may not be suited to that.

And does K find W annoying? No, K actually enjoys W’s company whenever they will actually spend time together. W has a calming presence.
