Character Info Sheet
Tumblr media
● name ; benjamin haywood ● name meaning ; "son of the south" and "hedged forest / enclosure," which is an utter coincidence on themes. incidentally, his sister's name is landyn thorley which apparently means "long hill" and "thorn meadow." and yeah, haywood was his mother's maiden name. ● alias/es ; benji, benny, lewis (like the flax), 0013 (the agent), cursor, blue bird, and various more nicknames. he gets a new one every time with a new verse ! ● ethnicity ; white boy ! although more specifically new acadian, so, mixed from when acadie folks fled from nova scotia to louisiana (1750s). ● one two picture(s) you like best of your chara ; benji does have a fc, but we're just going to stick with original art. (including both so they're not as big. art's by my cousin soul <3)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
● three h/cs you've never told anyone ; CONTENT WARNINGS FOR MENTIONS OF SUBSTANCE USE, ALCOHOLISM, CHILD ABUSE, AND IMPLIED SUICIDE. 1.) despite how he maintains appearances to the contrary, benjamin doesn't drink or get intoxicated whatsoever. won't touch the stuff. his father was an alcoholic to start, and was abusive; his second wife, landyn's mother, unfortunately brought hard substances into the picture which exacerbated the behavior. after benjamin gained custody of landyn and they cut contact, her mother actually overdosed and died; and their father drove up the wrong side of an interstate highway and killed himself. benjamin, of course, did not let landyn know about it. he reasoned that she was thirteen at the time, and didn't need that on top of going to a new school twice in one year and dealing with the horrors of puberty. (she'll be pissed when she does find out.) 2.) isn't a good shot in most verses, actually. tends to focus on practicing other skills (ie. mechanics, hacking, networking) related to the jobs he's got. (exception for p.rototype; he's blackwatch. blackwatch gets rigorous training.) 3.) loves pecans an inordinate amount. just like, a whole ton. a lot a lot. if he's carrying a snack baggy in his pockets, it's probably pecans or a trail mix with pecans. pecans ! ● three things your character likes doing in their free time ; cooking/baking, spending time with landyn, and going to the beach. ● eight people your character likes / loves ; he loves landyn. in some of his alternate canons (ie. o.verw.atch, motw), he's liked t.racer / l.ena o.xton from o.verw.atch, and he's liked a couple fellow pcs from motw. and he likes @tewwor's character clarence <3 they're buddies !! ● two things your character regrets ; never being a better person, and not always being there for landyn when she needs him. (eg. missed birthdays, couldn't be there for her first breakup, etc) ● two phobias your character has ; scopophobia, emetophobia.

What if - Chapter 4
SO CHAPTER 4 IS HERE! Well, we are having a HUGE surprise in this chapter. Steve didn't show up, the memeber of the BRF who will visit the museum is revealed AND maybe we find out something else about the so-called Steve...😏
Enjoy yourselves!
💙👑
17th June 2005
Two weeks had passed since that day. Steve hadn’t shown up at the museum and Kate had an awful amount of work to do so at least she had her mind occupied. With the upcoming visit of a royal family member, the museum had to be at its finest and bests moments. The brunette didn’t know who was the visiting member yet, for some reason, her boss didn’t want to tell her.
Kate just carried on with work. It was Friday so she had lots of school groups. When she lead a group of teenagers in one of the biggest rooms, she instantly froze, recognizing a leather jacket walking to the following room.
-Miss?-One of the students called for her.- Excuse me, miss?
She came back from her shock to attend the young man who had a question about a painting. After going through the most important things in the exposition she let them wonder around.
-Now you can be on your own, this and the next room. I'll be there if you need anything.-She then let them walk alone through the rooms.
Kate went straight to the next one, trying to find him, she needed some answers. Once she got there the room was empty, no one was in there. She checked all over, stopping her eyes on the two pieces of Queen Victoria and Queen Alexandra, when she first met Steve. She got closer, looking at of the benches that were in the middle of the room, finding a white envelope. Catherine frowned her eyebrows, picking it up. It had her name on it. <<Steve…>>, was her first thought. A feeling of anger ran her body from head to toes, she was about to open the envelope but she was stopped by some voices.
-Mummy, mummy come see this, hurry.-A little girl.
-Dad, here, come on, look.-A little boy.
-Mo...Da…-A baby, trying to babble.
She immediately turned around, putting the envelope in a pocked, trying to find the source of the voices, not finding anyone. They were very familiar, like she had heard those children before but she wasn’t able to figure out when. Shaking her mind, she got back to the group, finishing the tour for the day.
Steve was hidden behind a door frame watching all her movements. God, he made a huge mistake. The young man also heard the voices, and moved his head around also trying to find where they came from but having the same result as Catherine. A hand touched his shoulder.
-Sorry Your Royal Highness, but I was informed to take you home.-His bodyguard informed him.
-Yes, of course Jack.-They started walking out when he realized.-You were behind me all the time, right?
-Yes, sir, I never left your side.
-Did you hear the voices?
-Voices? What voices?-Jack asked.
-I heard three voices: a little boy, a little girl and a baby.
-I’m sorry sir, I didn’t hear anything. There were just the lady from the museum, you and me in the room.-He opened the door for him, heading to the car.
-Oh...Well, maybe it was all in my mind…-But he had heard them so clearly, like they were even talking to them, to Kate and him. All the way home, he couldn’t stop thinking about the brunette and the voices. It had been such a strange moment.
He didn’t know what to do. On one hand he wanted to go back to the museum and talk to Catherine again, on the other hand he wanted to wait four more days to tell her the hole truth. Steve closed his bedroom door and screamed, how on earth did he get to this point.
------
-Miss Middleton, do you have a minute?-The head of her department asked Kate when she had already finished.
-Yes, of course.-The brunette followed him to his office, closing the door after her and sitting on one of the chairs.
-Well, as you may remember, next Tuesday a member of the Royal Family will be visiting the Gallery and will be given the patronage. I never told you the name, only that you would be giving the tour through the exposition.-He smiled, the young woman was a very hard worker and proved she was very intelligent and resourceful. He could tell she wanted to know who was going to come.-Okay, I’m not going to delay it anymore, Prince William will be visiting us on his 23rd birthday next Tuesday.
-Wow…-Catherine face was a poem. She got up.-You won’t regret choosing me to tour him through the exposition.
-I know I won’t. You can go now, I know you don’t work this weekend so try not to tell too many people.-He laugh when she was leaving the office.
Kate got home that night with a big blur on her head, she could still hear the voices in her head tho she didn’t found any source. When she entered her room, she dropped dead on her bed mentally exhausted.
-Prince William...Wow...
Pippa had a birthday party that night so she wasn’t expecting her anytime soon. When the brunette started changing her clothes, she found the envelope she never got to open. Holding it between her hands was doubting whether to open it or not. She finally did.
“I feel I have not apologized enough, not for the awfully way I have treated you. I know you will not understand but I cross my heart when I say I did it to keep you safe. I am really sorry, Catherine. Yours, Steve.”
A tear ran down Kate’s cheek. She didn't want to think about him, about that rose she still had on her night table, about his scent. She shook her head, left the note in her jacket’s pocket and turned on the TV, trying to set her mind into something else.
------
Pippa was drunk, very drunk. She said goodbye to her friends in front of Buckingham Palace once the party was over and all of them took different ways to go back home. The young Middleton was walking down the Mall to Trafalgar Square thinking whether to go home by taxi or underground. She was so drunk she didn’t see the young man she crashed into. They both ended up nearly falling, but he managed to grab Pippa by the waist to avoid the rough landing.
-Oh, god, I’m so, so, so, so sorry.-The brunette tried to talk and looked up, finding a leather jacket, a cap and a pair of sunglasses. <<Sunglasses at night…? How weird…>> She didn’t gave it too much importance, thinking he could be someone famous and didn’t want to be recognized.-Thank you, I...I was tying...trying to get hommmm.-Pippa started laughing due to the alcohol and stretched her arm to shook his hand.-I’m Pippa..
-Don’t worry, I’m W...I’m Steve. Are you okay to get home safely? Isn’t there anyone you could call to pick you up?-Steve had decided to go for a walk alone, without guards, and was already heading home. But after Pippa crashed into him, he wanted to make sure she got home safely.
-Well, I may call my s-sister she might be home…-She grabbed her phone from her purse and dialed Kate’s number, grabbing Steve’s arm trying not to fall.
Catherine was watching some random movie when her phone rang, strangely, it was her sister.
-Pips? Is everything okay?-She was worried because when her sister went out, she only called her when something was wrong.
-Everying is okaaaaay, I’m jssst a little drunk….-Pippa started laughing and could sense Kate’s eyes rolling.-Could you come pick me up, please? Or I can take a taxi If it’s too much bother…
-No, where are you? Are you alone?
-Uhm…-Pippa turned around with Steve’s help.-Right in front of Clarence Hus...Hose...h-o-u-s-e. Yep. And no, I’m with this night knight I crashed into some minutes ago. He’s staying until you arrive.
-Okay, I’ll be there in ten.
-Thank you Squeak…-She hang up and looked at Steve.-She will be here in about ten or fifteen minutes.-Pippa tried to relieve the pain her heels were causing her but it made her lose balance, falling again to the ground. Steve tried to grab her but this time they made more of a fuss. No one or nothing fell to the ground except for Steve’s sunglasses and cap.-God, I’m sorry really, gosh I’m embarrassing myself.
Pippa grabbed the glasses and the cap from the ground and went to give them to Steve who forgot to turn around. Pippa gasped realizing who he really was, still with the young man’s arm around her, feeling incredibly sleepy.
-You...You’re…-She fell asleep on Steve’s shoulder, not being able to finish the sentence. Steve put back his cap and sunglasses right before a car stopped in front of them and the woman who had been in his mind for weeks appeared.
-Catherine…?
-Steve...What..-Her heart skipped a bit and then she saw Pippa.-Is she okay?
-Yes, yes she just fell asleep. She is pretty drunk.-Kate got close with the intention to get her sister into the car.-Don’t worry, I’ll do it.
-Okay, I will open the door.
Neither of them said a thing about the previous weeks, using the situation to avoid the subject. Steve managed to put Pippa inside, leaving her head resting on the copilot’s seat. Once Kate closed the door and turned around she faced Steve, too close. They hadn’t realized how close they were until they both stared in each other’s eyes. Quickly, Kate managed to find some strength to move and walk away from him, just a little distance because all she wanted to do was pull his body closer. The same sensation that Steve was feeling, wanting to just close the air between them.
-Catherine, I…
-No, please, I have too much in my head right now.- She noticed the envelope in her jacked and pulled it out.-I...I can’t do this Steve…-Kate closed the distance between them and put the paper in his hands, taking them.
-I…-The young man looked through his sunglasses into the brunette’s eyes, realizing she was about to cry. She was beyond beautiful. They both had the feeling as if they had already hold their hands, maybe in a past life.-Kate, please…
She had no idea how but when she started to feel the urge to kiss him, she walked back and got into the car, driving away and letting her tears fell free. The man stood there, looking at the envelope. When he entered his home and got up the stairs, someone called for him.
-Hey you.-His little brother, with his pyjamas and a cup of tea.
-Hi you. What are you doing still awake? Babies and gingers need at least 9 hours of sleep.-The younger man laughed sarcastically, always teasing each other. They started to walk to their rooms.
-You know, at first I thought it was weird that you got out wearing a cap and sunglasses but…after witnessing what I just saw...there was quite a big tension between you and that woman, wasn’t it?.-The stood in their own doors, facing each other.
-Yes...Yes there were.
-Does she know your name?
-Yes.-His brother opened his eyes.
-What?!
-No, not my real name, I told her...I said my name is Steve.-Laugh, that was the response of the other man.-Of course I couldn’t tell her my real name.
-I know, I know. Look..-He leaned on the door frame.-all I’m saying is that there is something there, worth looking into.-The so-called Steve rose an eyebrow.- And no, it is NOT a sexual reference.
-It may be too late...Good night.-With that he turned around.
-Good night William.
------
Pippa woke up the next morning feeling her worse self. With a groan she stepped into the kitchen just to find her sister making breakfast. She had the tv on, watching the news.
-God, the light is killing me. And the noise. And life.
-Well, you were pretty drunk last night sweetie.-Kate placed an orange juice in front of her.
-I don’t remember anything.
-Not...not a single thing?-Pippa looked at her after listening the tone in which she was speaking.
-Don’t tell me I did something really stupid. I just remember walking down the Mall and nothing else.
-Well you crashed into Steve actually, the guy from the museum I talked about and the one who didn’t showed up to our date, so I…-Kate was interrupted by the the tone of breaking news from the TV. Both sisters centered their attention to the screen.
-Next Tuesday, Prince William will visit the National Portrait Gallery and will be named patron for his 23rd birthday.- Kate smiled at Pippa.
-I found out yesterday. And guess who will be giving the tour that day.
-No way! Way to go Squeak!-The news then showed some footage of the last speech the Prince made and Kate’s smile fade away. PIppa looked at her.-Hey, something’s wrong?
-That’s…-The elder sister realized as soon as she heard the Prince speak, that voice had been stuck in her days for weeks now.-Steve…-Kate pointed the TV.-That’s Steve.
-What do you mean…?
-Steve, the man you crashed into yesterday, very, very drunk? The guy with the cap and the sunglasses from the museum? The jerk that didn't show up to our date?
-But...That is not Steve, that is…-Pippa opened her mouth in surprise, remembering the previous night and...-Prince…
-William.

We are African Americans, we are patriots, and we refuse to sit idly by
https://wapo.st/2ZfMStU
We Are African Americans, We Are Patriots, And We Refuse To Sit Idly By
By Clarence J. Fluker, C. Kinder, Jesse Moore and Khalilah M. Harris | Published July 26 at 6:09 PM ET | Washington Post | Posted July 28, 2019
This op-ed is co-signed by 149 African Americans who served in the Obama administration.
This post has been updated.
We’ve heard this before. Go back where you came from. Go back to Africa. And now, “send her back.” Black and brown people in America don’t hear these chants in a vacuum; for many of us, we’ve felt their full force being shouted in our faces, whispered behind our backs, scrawled across lockers, or hurled at us online. They are part of a pattern in our country designed to denigrate us as well as keep us separate and afraid.
As 149 African Americans who served in the last administration, we witnessed firsthand the relentless attacks on the legitimacy of President Barack Obama and his family from our front-row seats to America’s first black presidency. Witnessing racism surge in our country, both during and after Obama’s service and ours, has been a shattering reality, to say the least. But it has also provided jet-fuel for our activism, especially in moments such as these.
We stand with congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, as well as all those currently under attack by President Trump, along with his supporters and his enablers, who feel deputized to decide who belongs here — and who does not. There is truly nothing more un-American than calling on fellow citizens to leave our country — by citing their immigrant roots, or ancestry, or their unwillingness to sit in quiet obedience while democracy is being undermined.
We are proud descendants of immigrants, refugees and the enslaved Africans who built this country while enduring the horrors of its original sin. We stand on the soil they tilled, and march in the streets they helped to pave. We are red-blooded Americans, we are patriots, and we have plenty to say about the direction this country is headed. We decry voter suppression. We demand equitable access to health care, housing, quality schools and employment. We welcome new Americans with dignity and open arms. And we will never stop fighting for the overhaul of a criminal-justice system with racist foundations.
We come from Minnesota and Michigan. The Bronx and Baton Rouge. Florida and Philadelphia. Cleveland and the Carolinas. Atlanta and Nevada. Oak-town and the Chi. We understand our role in this democracy, and respect the promise of a nation built by, for and of immigrants. We are part of that tradition, and have the strength to both respect our ancestors from faraway lands and the country we all call home.
Our love of country lives in these demands, and our commitment to use our voices and our energy to build a more perfect union. We refuse to sit idly by as racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia are wielded by the president and any elected official complicit in the poisoning of our democracy. We call on local, state and congressional officials, as well as presidential candidates to articulate their policies and strategies for moving us forward as a strong democracy, through a racial-equity lens that prioritizes people over profit. We will continue to support candidates for local, state and federal office who add more diverse representation to the dialogue and those who understand the importance of such diversity when policymaking here in our country and around the world. We ask all Americans to be a good neighbor by demonstrating anti-racist, environmentally friendly, and inclusive behavior toward everyone in your everyday interactions.
The statesman Frederick Douglass warned, “The life of a nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful and virtuous.” This nation has neither grappled with nor healed from the horrors of its origins. It is time to advance that healing process now through our justice, economic, health and political systems.
Expect to hear more from us. We plan to leave this country better than we found it. This is our home.

MWW Artwork of the Day (1/15/19) Max Weber (Russian/American, 1881–1961) Slide Lecture at the Metropolitan Museum (1916) Pastel on paper, 62.2 x 47.5 cm. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Gift of Dr. Irving F. Burton)
Weber is considered one of America's earliest modernists, and his long career witnessed many stylistic changes. Through the 1920s his work paid homage to such European artists as Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Rousseau as well as to tribal African art. After 1930, when he developed a consistently identifiable style, one that was lyrical and Expressionistic, his imagery focused on romanticized landscapes, docile domestic scenes, and emotional religious themes. Throughout his career Weber exhibited consistently at galleries and museums, and in 1930 he was honored with a retrospective at the recently opened Museum of Modern Art.
From 1914 to 1918 Weber taught classes in art history, art appreciation, and design at the Clarence H. White School of Photography in New York. The experience of sitting in a darkened auditorium during a slide talk is amply conveyed in this pastel, about which he wrote: "A lecture on Giotto was given at the Metropolitan Museum. The late hastening visitor finds himself in an interior of plum-colored darkness ... upon which one discerns the focusing spray-like yellowish-white light, the concentric, circular rows of seats, [and] a portion of the screen." In other paintings and drawings of the period, he evoked the illuminated stages at music and dance performances and the shimmering screens of the cinema. In a 1915 newspaper article he stated that his aim at the time was to express "not what I see with my eye but with my consciousness ... mental impressions, not mere literal matter-of-fact copying of line and form. I want to put the abstract into concrete terms."  (from the Museum catalog)

 Hans Finsler, of Swiss starting place and operating in Germany, Piet Zwart within the Netherlands, and Emmanuel Sougez and Florence Henri in France had been many of the many generating rather defined close-usaof gadgets and people in a fashion much like that of the Neue Sachlichkeit.A in addition objective technique characterized the work of photographers inquisitive about the artistic ideas embodied in Constructivism; the motion proposed that photographs might be a method to present the common from clean vantage points and thereby reawaken interest in ordinary gadgets and tactics.
This idea, which originated within the Soviet Union and spread quickly to Germany and important European international locations at some stage in the overdue Nineteen Twenties and early 1930s, granted extra latitude for experimentation with shape. Its predominant spokesman was Russian painter and ideologue Aleksandr Rodchenko, Charleston Elopement Photographers who employed especially uncommon vantage factors in order to deliver the mundane world a new appearance. The visible ideas underpinning Constructivism appealed to Hungarian photographer László Moholy-Nagy, who reinterpreted them throughout his tenure first at the Bauhaus in Weimar, then in Dessau, Germany, and ultimately at the New Bauhaus (later the Institute of Design) in Chicago, wherein they encouraged numerous generations of American photographers.

Similar ideas have been utilized by photographers in Japan, particularly following the earthquake of 1923. Among the ones whose imagery reflected the new sharper style, with its emphasis on form as opposed to atmosphere, became Yasuzō Nojima, who received a popularity for his incisive pictures, groundbreaking nudes, and landscapes. Shinzō Fukuhara’s images, specially his landscapes, were also rather regarded.Experimental strategies
By 1916 summary ideas were attractive to some of different photographers. Photo-Secessionist Alvin Langdon Coburn, residing in England, created a chain of images known as vortographs, wherein no situation matter is recognizable. During the overdue 1910s, students and school on the Clarence H. White School of Photography (started out via some other former colleague of Stieglitz), mainly Bernard S. Horne and Margaret Watkins, additionally produced works that displayed the influence of Modernist abstraction.

Monday’s Photography Inspiration – Clarence H. White
A self-taught photographer from rural Ohio, Clarence H. White first became famous for his delicate, idealised images of rural family life. He was also known for his subtle portraits of women and children and also as an influential teacher of photography.

STRENGTH AND HUMILITY IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF DOROTHEA LANGE Miss Rosen for Feature Shoot
In 1902, at the age of seven, Dorothea Lange (1985–1965) was stricken with polio. Left with a withered foot and a permanent limp, Lange’s next challenge came at the age of 12, when her father abandoned the family. These early traumas formed and shaped Lange, forcing her to become self-reliant at a young age.
While in high school, Lange determined that she would become a photographer, though she had never used a camera before – but she made moves, studying the medium with Clarence H. White at Columbia University. She honed her skills on the streets of New York, recalling, “On the Bowery I knew how to step over drunken men. I knew how to keep an expression of face that would draw no attention, so no one would look at me. I have used that my whole life in photographing.”
In 1918, Lange and a close friend decided they would see the world, so they jumped in a car and headed West. The international leg of their trip was aborted in San Francisco, after they were robbed. Lange quickly fell in with the local photo scene, secured financial backing, and set up her own photo studio where she created portraits of the city’s bohemian and artistic elite. But when the Great Depression hit, everything changed – and the story of Dorothea Lange comes to center stage. The discrepancy between what was happening in her studio versus the reality f the streets became more than the artist could bear, and she decided to be the change she wanted to see in the world.
