W A T C H I N G

A far as hammer films go I'd say it's 4.5/10.

The location, the costumes, the acting are all really good. The story has a good build up, but the finale was a little stupid for my tastes and what I used to in Hammer Films.

Well hey do you want to see some spoilers for my artwork? Yep. It’s genshin au. Sorry. I have soooooo many sketches for it.

I hoped finish it before semester starts but I failed and idk when I can back to my non-university project

So, here we go

Peter Parker - pyro-archer, outrider of the Knights of Favonius, adorable boy with dog ears and tail, knows every flower in Mondstadt

Karen Page - cryo-archer, eyes of Matt Murdock(time to time), woman with cat ears and tale. Responds for the finances of Ordo Favonius. Always walks with paper and pen, trie not to miss any detail. She’s born and grew up in Fontaine, moved to Mond years-years later…

(I didn't find anything in the lore of the game about the life of people with disabilities, so I decided to make Matt's life as difficult as possible. Yeah, he still has his senses thanks to his anemo vision but for most people he’s just a blind nice guy and he needs an escort when he leaving the city. Most of time he’s going with outriders)

Matt Murdock - anemo, polearm. Responds for civil affairs by day, vigilante by night. Treasure Hoarders fears him, Fatui hates him. Some people finds strange that office man wears heavy gloves like knights…

Gwen Stacy (based on her earth-65 version) - anemo claymore user, outrider with a severe temper. As one who can control winds she can use her weapon as of she were holding a weightless feather. Matt probably taught her this trick.

And our beautiful boy Foggy Nelson - electro-catalyst, Responds for civil affairs as Matty. People person, don’t want to know about bad things with Matt but he knows. Most of mondstadt people love him and sometimes give him little gifts like new books, applepies, tea from inazuma, and, gods, he’s love it

#wip #my art #genshin au #marvel au #peter parker #matt murdock #karen page #foggy nelson #gwen stacy #hehe matty wearin brooch with a dendrobium and I wanted make it as reference to elektra #i love karen page i love her in every universe and shes my sun my stars god shes beautiful woman with steel nerves

Tiffany Boone (Hunters) is set to star alongside Andre Holland in The Big Cigar, the Apple TV+’s limited series that chronicles the story of Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton’s escape to Cuba, from Claws showrunner Janine Sherman Barrois, Don Cheadle, Joshuah Bearman and Warner Bros. TV.

Written and executive produced by Jim Hecht (Winning Time) based on the eponymous Playboy magazine article by Bearman, the six-episode series tells the extraordinary, hilarious, almost-too-good-to-be-true story of how Newton relied on his best friend, Bert Schneider, the Hollywood producer behind Easy Rider, to elude a nationwide manhunt and escape to Cuba while being pursued into exile by the FBI.

Boone will play Gwen Fontaine, Huey’s loyal girlfriend.

A Storm of Infinite Beauty | Julianna Maclean | Published 2023 | *SPOILERS*

Scarlett Fontaine is a true Hollywood legend - a singer, actress and beloved fashion icon. But Scarlett dies tragically at just thirty-six years old, leaving behind no children. Or so the story goes...

Gwen Hollingsworth is the curator at a museum dedicated to Scarlett's life. She's also the sole heir to Scarlett's fortune as a descendant of the star. But all is not well in Gwen's world. She's dealing with a messy marital separation and is struggling to move forward. So when Peter Miller, a biographer and photojournalist, comes to the museum with shcoking claims about Scarlett - a life of exile in Alaska, a baby born in secret - Gwen's whole world is turned upside down. Again.

Determined to uncover the truth, Gwen and Peter set out for Alaska together but soon find themselves on a path toward something far deeper and more meaningful than either of them ever expected.

A Storm of Infinite Beauty takes readers on a breathtaking journey from a lush vineyard in Nova Scotia to a rustic lodge in Alaska where old family secrets are revealed and the quest for true happiness begins.

Gwen Hollingsworth is dealing with a lot. As curator of the museum on Scarlett Fontaine, birth name Valerie McCarthy, she finds herself as the sole heir to Scarlett's fortune. Scarlett had never married, nor did she have any children. Unlike Gwen, who is now dealing with a separation from her husband Eric, after their newborn daughter died froma congenital heart problem shortly after her birth. The death of their child took a toll on them both, their grief coming in different forms, leading to their eventual separation. For Gwen, she has refused to move on, but for Eric, he has begun a relationship and moved in with a young woman named Keri, much to Gwen's chagrin.

When Peter, a former pararazzi in LA, arrives at the museum, Gwen is prepared to shut him down. But Peter is interested in writing Scarlett's life story in a sort of memoir, his interest sparked after coming into possession a photo of her at a hospital in Valdez, Alaska. Within that photo is a young man, holding up a near-newborn baby, of which Peter assumes can only be Scarlett's. The photo was taken shortly after a major earthquake, the second in US history, struck Valdez and left utter devastation in its wake.

Despite her initial misgivings, Gwen's interest is piqued and together, the two of them venture to Alaska in order to find out the truth. Through the curator of the museum based on Valdez's history, they find out that man in the photo is named Jeremy Mikhailov, and he has agreed to meet with Gwen during his time in Juneau, where he is now currently living.

He tells her the truth story of what happened: Scarlett, who was still Valerie at this time, arrived in Alaska in 1963 at the behest of her father, a strict former Lt. Col. in WWII. Back home, he told her friends and former boyfriend, Drew, that she had gone to New York to become an actress and had no forwarding information, and this is what everyone believed for many years, despite lack of evidence that she had ever been there.

Instead, Valerie's father left her to a friend of his in Alaska, as she had fallen pregnant by her boyfriend Drew. Their relationship ended prior to her leaving, and knowing that he would find out sooner or later, she told her father. The intent was for her to ride out her pregnancy in Alaska, with his friend Frank Brown and his family, and after the birth of her baby and subsequent adoption, she would be allowed to return home. When she arrives, Frank explains that he has arranged for her to work at the Wilderness Lodge, a location for tourists that is in desperate need of new people to help.

Here, she meets the Wilson's, whom take her in and treat her like their own child. She helps out in the dining room at night as a server, and during the day, acts a tour guide for the toursits on the Wanderer, a large tour boat. She meets and befriends, Angie, who is married to Frank and Carol's son, Joe, who is also pregnant and due at around the same time as Valerie. Their friendship means a lot to them both.

During the fall and winter months, Valerie begins to enjoy her life in Valdez, despite the snowy weather and darker nights. The further she gets into her pregnancy, she knows that adoption for her child isn't what she wants, and despite writing letters to Drew to inform him of her pregnancy, those letters go unanswered. Determined to move on from her relationship with Drew, she decides that she is going to have her baby and stay in Valdez with the Wilson's blessing.

Angie has her baby, a son, named Ethan and a few days later, Valerie welcomes her own son, Cameron, into the world. With the help of Jeremy, she plans to send one final letter to Drew, although she doesn't expect anything to come from it. Jeremy explains that if she gives it to one of the chefs on the merchandise ship, the Chena, they would be happy to post her letter at their next port for her.

It is here that the earthquake strikes, leaving terror and devastation in its wake. Frank and Carol Brown both die, as does Angie. Valerie falls into a deep fissure in the road while trying to get back to Cameron, who was swept away from her after a large tidal wave drove them apart. When she falls, she breaks her leg and Joe, after witnessing his wife's death, is determined to save someone. He is able to pull Valerie out, and others help save him as well.

While in the hospital, she is desperate for word of her son, is ecstatic to hear that he had been found. Jeremy was the one who had found him, and brought him back to the hospital. But, unfortunately, the child in her arms does not belong to her, the baby is Ethan Brown. Ethan is returned to his father, who is grateful to Jeremy and Valerie that his son is returned to him.

Jeremy informs Gwen and Peter that Valerie's son was discovered the following day, having died during the earthquake.

Gwen and Peter are thankful for the truth about what happened, and Gwen feels an even bigger connection to her long-gone relative. Despite being the world's expert on Scarlett/Valerie, she was never able to meet her in person as she had died prior to her birth.

The two of them depart, with Gwen returning to Nova Scotia. Eric is desperate for their lives to return back the way they had been prior to Lily's death, but Gwen isn't as eager to get back. She and Peter had some type of connection between them during their getaway and research into Scarlett's life, but Gwen is willing to try to work things out for the sake of their marriage.

A year later, Peter's book is a huge hit, with plans for a possible movie and broadway musical based on Scarlett's life and music. When Gwen is visited by her former music teacher, she is hit with another truth: that Mr. Thornby IS actually Andrew "Drew" Thornby, Valerie's former boyfriend and Cameron's dad.

He explains that he eventually received the letter that Valerie had written to him and sent the day of the eartthquake. By this time, it was nearly three years later, and Valerie was now officially Scarlett Fontaine, and had just won her first Oscar. He was able to reach her, and she informs him about what happened to their son. Drew is devastated, and despite everything, he never stopped loving her.

But, he went on to get married to a woman, although their marriage eventually ended about 8 years later. Drew doesn't explain why, but it is assumed that his wife had left him for another man, a teacher in a neighboring town. Drew explains that despite everything, he never gave up love for Valerie, and that though people are aware that she died at a young age in Switzerland, she hadn't been alone which is what everyone believed. He was by her side, and had been keeping everything a secret for a very long time.

With their research compltely at a close, Peter once again travels to Nova Scotia. Gwen and Eric officially ended their marriage, after it came to be that the two of them no longer have anything in common, if they ever really did at all. Peter alluded to moving to Nova Scotia, so that he and Gwen can finally begin the relationship that the two of them began in their Alaskan adventures.

I picked this one at random on KU, and I am so glad that I did. What a wild ride! Very emotional, and I feel such a connection with all of the characters (minus Eric, because fuck him, that's why). I may have to try a few of her books because she may be a new favorite of mine!

A Storm of Infinite Beauty by Julianne MacLean

Sometimes you read a book and it is just that - a book. Other times you read a book and it rocks your world and has you look at things in a different way. A Storm of Infinite Beauty is just that book! Julianne MacLean has written a book that sears you to the bone.

“...basking in the comfort that life was a gift - horrendous at times but also beautiful in its everyday miracles.” (Location 4180)

The book’s descriptions were lush with colors and feelings. The storyline was interesting with the two time periods: each allowing for revelations. The book was full of the emotions of hope, devastation, grief and love. Gwen’s character was well drawn and complete.

Gwen was the curator of a museum about Scarlet Fontaine. Gwen’s familial relationship with Scarlet was a blessing and the museum allowed her to showcase the actress/songwriter’s life and talents. Until one day a man, Peter comes to her with a picture of Scarlet (real name Valerie) from an earthquake in Alaska. From here the story takes off exposing both Valerie and Gwen’s private travails as Gwen and Peter search for answers. What makes this book stand out is that it does not get mired in the negative, but allows the reader to see the hope and love shine out of the gloom.

This is a five star book hands down. A book showing exquisite life and healing. A book to read and enjoy. A beautiful story called A Storm of Infinite Beauty by Julianne MacLean.
