Dresden files Fool's Moon live blog

Fool’s Moon

Ugh male gaze already

You’ve never mentioned Kim Delaney in your fic so I don’t have high hopes in her survival especially when she’s looking into summoning or binding circle

Sometime apprentice? Eh? How does one become a sometime apprentice

Harry drives a Beetle but he’s so tall and a beetle is so small ha

I’m absolutely blaming you for my love of Marcone and how unreasonably happy I got at the mere mention of his name in chapter two I might have a problem

“He was one of Johnny Marcone bodyguards” pg. 18 Geez Marcone’s men can’t catch a break. First Tommy Tomm, then “Gimpy” Lawrence, and now “Spike”

Ahh!! What was that agent Benn thinking? Pulling out her gun?!? I know Harry and Murph were going to live but still. I’m horrified by this lack of gun control

Murph and Harry are fighting:(

I like Harry being a detective

Who’s Justin? Why did Harry burn him to death? I’m reserving my decision if Justin is good or bad because while Harry is a good guy Bob doesn't have a moral compass.

Who’s Elaine? What happened to her?

Alphas really that’s the name they chose?

Susan you’re back!

Harry’s talking to himself again

“What could possibly go wrong?” pg. 102 Harry sweetie you didn’t just say that. I can’t believe what I just read. Harry, you should know better than to say that. Every time someone says that things will always go wrong you’re supposed to be genre savvy.

How is Harry still alive? He went to a hideout of possible murder happy werewolves with minimal tools and or weapons and no backup?

Marcone has arrived yay! It only took 10 chapters

“Ah Mr. Dresden” pg. 114 Why did I think of Verinari when Marcone said Ah Mr. Dresden? Maybe because Verinari says Ah Vimes

I love chapter 10 it’s all Marcone and Harry

Why does a demon know Harry’s mom?

“What was left of Kim Delaney lay naked and sublime on the bloodstained floor a few feet from the circle” pg. 143 I didn’t want to be right :(

“Middle-aged, starkly handsome man” pg. 145 Bi Harry counter 3

Why does a demon know Harry’s mother?

“Good-looking detective” pg. 231 Bi Harry 4 counter

Wait did Harry call Rudolph the person who kills Murph good-looking??? What did I just read?? WHAT?!?

It’s cool that Harry fights a werewolf

I’ve now met ID Harry weird that whole bit was weird

The FBI was in on it?!?

Marcone to the rescue!

“A man in his mature prime, his hair immaculately graying at the temples, his custom-made suit displaying a body kept fit in spite of the advancing years” pg. 293 Bi Harry 5

Really Marcone, you're really trying to get Harry to sign a contract now?

“Marcone looked good in his gray suit and perfect hair and his manicured hands, but he wasn’t” pg. 295 Bi Harry 6

I find it amusing that Marcone and Parker are fighting over Harry for different reasons but fighting over him nonetheless :)

“He won’t accept my offer. He’d rather die.” pg. 297 Marcone knows Harry

“Marcone’s mouth dropped open, and it was an intense pleasure to see the surprise on his face” pg. 297 I love that Harry can get a reaction out of Marcone

Loving chapter 23 with all its Marconeness

How old are the characters? Harry calls the alphas kids, Billy calls Harry Mr. Dresden, and Harry talks about Marcone’s gray hair. I’m picturing Harry and Marcone as a mesh of @drawsdenfiles and @kaphkas fanart.

We got a title drop

Awww Susan got Harry his duster

Why is Marcone’s house so big? Why does he need a big house?

“If he truly offered you a challenge, he’s here,” Marcone said, his tone completely confident, “I’m certain of it.” pg. 365 Marcone really knows Harry huh

I like that Marcone’s never underestimated Harry

“Please remember that I want Dresden, alive if possible.” pg. 375 Wow Marcone really wants to hire Harry.

Nooo the FBI kidnapped Murph :(

What did Denton see in Harry’s soulgaze?

Marcone to the rescue again or not, honestly Marcone you should listen to Harry more often

“I guess it could be worse” pg. 394 Why would you say that Murph? Why???

“Mr. Dresden, Marcone said crossly. I’ve asked you not to call me that.” pg. 398 You should let Harry call you John, Marcone

I love Harry and Marcone’s banter

Marcone’s throwing knives bit was cool

Harry using the belt was interesting. Glad Susan calmed him down.

“Dresden! The pit!” pg. 417 Nice of Marcone to warn Harry

Harry using his necklace is cool!

No Murph trust Harry, why did you shoot him?

Yay Murph was shooting Denton

“Of course,” Marcone said, with a note of disappointment in his voice “I’d just hoped you hadn’t realized it. Nonetheless, Harry-“

“Don’t call me Harry,” I said, and hung up on him” pg. 428 I love this entire bit. How come Harry gets to call Marcone John but when Marcone calls Harry by his first name he gets upset? You should just call each other by your first names

I hope we see more of the Alphas

Oh Harry’s making connections with the ongoing mystery yay!

Final thoughts

Loved all the Marcone we got. I like that we’re getting more on the ongoing mystery. I hope we see more of the Alphas. I liked the fights and Harry’s detective work. More Bi Harry the counter is going up! We’re up to 6. As with the previous book, I'm not a big fan of the male gaze but I think that’s more to do with the length and descriptions used. Harry (or Jim) will go on for a solid paragraph describing women using words I don’t think anyone would use while with Bi Harry it’s not as long and I can see people using words like good looking or handsome. I mostly glazed over the male gaze bits. I don’t know if my predisposition to Bi Harry and a Harry/Marcone shipper is making those parts stand out or if it’s because I’m actively looking for them to add to the counter. Speaking of Marcone I don’t recall if it’s said why Marcone wants Harry to work for him. Yeah having a wizard on staff is cool he can do magic but surely Marcone knows that there’s more magic people and some are more likely to work for him than Harry. So why does he specifically want Harry to work for him? He tried to get him to work for him three times in this book and once in the previous book. There’s trying to hire someone and then there’s whatever this is. I enjoyed this book. Good book for Harry/Marcone moments. Looking forward to the next book!

In the TV sitcom 'Seinfeld', what is the name of Jerry's nemesis, played by Wayne Knight?

Newman is a recurring character and arch-nemesis of Jerry Seinfeld on the television show 'Seinfeld'. Portrayed by Wayne Knight from 1992 until the show's finale in 1998, Newman was ranked 16th on 'The Rolling Stones' list of '40 Greatest TV Villains of All Time'.

'Seinfeld' is an American sitcom created by Jerry Seinfeld, who also plays the main character of the same name. The show is about four friends in New York City living their day-to-day lives. Jerry is a comedian who always gets himself into strange situations. His friend George Costanza (played by Jason Alexander) is a neurotic estate agent, who is convinced nobody likes him. The third friend in the group is Elaine Bennes (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Jerry's ex-girlfriend, and the fourth is Cosmo Kramer (played by Michael Richards), Jerry's very tall neighbour.

Newman is a lazy mailman who works for the United States Postal Service. Whilst he is a friend of Kramer, he and Jerry never see eye-to-eye. Despite the show beginning in 1989, Newman did not physically appear until 1992, although his voice had been heard several times off-screen in previous episodes.

Throughout the series, Newman often schemes against Jerry, who he thinks is not deserving of his fame as a comedian. Jerry frequently refers to Newman as "pure evil", but when asked why the character hated Newman so much, the actor responded, "it just seemed funny to hate Newman."

Best of 2021 Movies #14: Black Widow

At long last ScarJo gets a black Widow solo movie is what I would be seeing if this was the 2017 countdown. Of course this still would have crushed by Wonder Woman but it fit better.

Still though we now begin phase 4 in earnest by seeing Natasha after the Civil War on the run while unexpectedly reuniting with her sister Yelena. both having grown up together in 1990s Ohio with their parents Melina Vostokoff and Alexi Shostakovich played by Rachel Weisz and David Harbour. Both being covert agents for Russian interests. When exposed the family flees to Family hands as the sisters get indoctrinated into the red room under the supervision of General Dreykov. Running a foul of unstoppable force of mimicry known as taskmaster, the sisters reunite the family in order to take down the red room once and for all.

Not as good as it could’ve been but definitely enjoyable especially considering the unexpected questions that get asked.

What happened with Budapest.

how did Natasha get her vest.

And how does Elaine Bennes have so much Pull to get Yelena to go after Clint Barton.

Despite being delayed 14 months this was the definite start that phase four film wise needed. And a great film to head back to theaters for.

SUM 22: Scarlet Johansson returns to fill in the gaps of Natashas long and seemingly endless covert journey. Florence Pugh and David Harbor are bonuses.

My Bastard OCs: Andrew "Andy" Arsole

Art drawn by the very kind and very talented @1863-project ❤️

Alright so, I'm finally going to start spilling the beans like I said I would a week ago. This is Andy, one of my mysterious OCs I really need to give more love. 😂 His origin was basically me thinking, "Hmm... what if Alan B'Stard had an Ade counterpart?" in about April 2020. That quickly evolved into deciding, since Alan is the most right wing Member of Parliament, what if this guy was the most left wing Member? Thus, mutual loathing guaranteed!

I've tried to make Andy the opposite of Alan when and where it's made sense to, so here are some facts about him below the cut:

His name is Andrew Adrian Arsole, Andy to his mates (so not to Alan). His name had to start with an A for the A. Arsole effect please ignore that it should technically be An Arsole. Arsole, as well as being a chemical compound, is also apparently a very rare surname. The more you know!

His birthdate is 26th September 1955 - 26th September is, according to Google, the most common birthday in the UK. I wanted the most common one for Andy since Alan's is 29th February 1956, which is obviously the rarest. Andy is also a tiny bit older than Alan since Ade is older than Rik and because it's established in TNS that Alan is the youngest MP in the Commons.

He becomes the Labour MP for the Constituency of Scunthorpe in 1987 - like Haltemprice, this was not an actual constituency at the time. I simply looked at the areas nearish to Haltemprice and found a spot that voted Labour in '87 for the Realism(TM). Why does Andy's constituency need to be near to Alan's? For the extra grrr.

Andy is from Scarborough in North Yorkshire and has the accent to match. Why? Because I want that southern/northern conflict technically, according to The B'Stard File, Alan is from Halesowen in the West Midlands which isn't too far from where Rik is from but shhhh Alan sounds posh as fuck there's no Brummie in him.

Andy is the third of six kids. He has two older sisters (Christine and Elaine) and two younger sisters and a brother (Janet, David and Valerie). He hasn't seen his father since he was a child, after he finally fucked off - a good thing, because he was an abusive piece of shit to his wife and kids. I'd say Andy was raised working class and is now comfortably middle class because of his job (something Alan likes to pick at). All of his siblings have had children apart from him by 1987, so he's the Fun Uncle. He's also quite close with his mum, but in a healthy, balanced, wholesome way... unlike some people...

Also, most importantly, Andy is gay. Closeted, unsurprisingly, as most gay MPs in the 1980s were. Alan hasn't figured out this little secret... yet. That kind of information would be so, so dangerous in his hands, which is why the only person in the world who knows that Andy is gay is his mum. Well. And his cat, Rosa, who is named after Rosa Luxemburg.

Appearance wise, as you can see, Andy is a blonde, blue eyed and he wears glasses. We all know what Ade looks like, he looks like a young Ade. 😂 Unlike Alan, Andy is a bit of a scruff: his shoes are always scuffed, he wears cheap suits that always seem to have holes in them, his shirt is often coffee stained, he forgoes a tie unless absolutely forced, his glasses are NHS prescription and seemingly always a little crooked, he often has inky hands, his hair is always unkempt floof. Completely the opposite of Alan B'Stard in that respect and is another reason they find each other sneer worthy.

His politics - very obviously he is on the far left of the Labour Party. A younger Jeremy Corbyn probably idolises him. He's part of the same group of MPs as Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner and he's not bothered about whether what he says fits a smarmy, stylised image. He's blunt and coarse, a bit rough around the edges, especially if he loses his temper - this is why his opponents call him an "arsehole" like Alan's call him a "bastard". The Labour leadership don't like him. Before becoming an MP, he was part of the complete balls up at Liverpool Council in 1985 and stormed out of the Labour Party Conference during Neil Kinnock's speech. His politics are basically just meant to be as far away from Alan's Thatcherite brand of libertarianism as possible, for the complete contrast. It's not that he is "good" to Alan's "bad" although, I mean, he's definitely preferable because isn't everyone because we can pick holes in all political ideologies. I didn't create Andy to be a pure hero. He's often called a communist by Tories and the press but maintains publicly that he is a democratic socialist.

Andy does put in the graft. I don't believe any politician should be idolised really and, like I said, I'm not trying to create a force of good to defeat Alan's force of evil in Andy... but he works harder than Alan and was motivated to get into political life by the desire to enact change and bring about equality... rather than a desire to fill his wallet. He actually holds regular surgeries, for one thing. He's very stubborn and uncompromising on his beliefs and this is a credit to him as much as it is a hindrance for progress. I'm not going to alter history here: he's no match for Margaret Thatcher and her administrations. That said, outside the world of politics? For all intents and purposes, he's a decent enough human being. Just as Alan so deliberately isn't.

He doesn't stand for his seat again in 1992 because for various reasons he has become disillusioned with Westminster and his party, although he remains in political life through campaigns and such. A more centre left candidate becomes the new Labour MP. This doesn't mean Andy's life is now B'Stard free, however...

And now, Andy and Alan! *cracks knuckles* The thing about Alan B'Stard is... when he's in the Commons he knows absolutely how to manipulate everything and everyone. All the outrage he causes is intentional. He is very rarely caught out. He just uses people, insults them, bests them, then casts them aside and forgets about them, right? One of the main ideas for Andy is that he - as unbelievable as this may sound - has the ability to get under Alan's skin and wind him up. Alan has the same effect on him, it's a two way thing, because they are both opposing extremes. They have each others' attention. I reckon Alan probably gets the best of Andy in debates a little more often than Andy gets the best of him, simply because Alan is amoral and has none of the dogma associated with the hard left binding him. We know how slippery he and his principles are. However, the point is, Andy is on Alan's level in a way the other MPs aren't - certainly in a way Piers isn't. He can see through Alan's facades and, though the bastard infuriates him like he does most Labour MPs, Andy knows how to niggle back at Alan. The comedic element to this is supposed to be that the both of them often get caught up in debates across the Commons and get angrier and angrier and start insulting one another in typical Rik and Ade fashion, until the Speaker stops them. All the other MPs hate this. In fact, on those occasions Alan bothers to attend the House and the two of them are there, whole groups of MPs will get up and leave in anticipation of rowing.

I have the loosest of loose ideas for a TNS fic involving Andy but I doubt it'll be coming anytime soon. One day! I have the title master procrastinator. I just want to see how Alan and Andy can fuck up each others' plans by grating on each others' nerves, besting one another but never fatally. Just. Y'know when there's this utter twat that you can't seem to rid yourself of? That's how they both feel.

I am aware that I have sorta possibly maybe created a wee bit of sexual tension between the two of them (everyone I have told about Andy prior to this post seems to think so 😂). Naturally, in one of the only ways sexual tension works with Alan B'Stard - through hate. I still stand by canon B'Stard being super duper cishet for narrative reasons... but I am as yet undecided specifically about the Alan I will have interacting with Andy. I mean, he is still a heartless son of a bitch, either way. A theme with Alan and Andy is that eventually, even though they despise each other, they can't help but look forward to seeing and fighting with one other because it's exciting and it gets them whipped up, as much as they both hate to admit it. We all know how easily Alan gets bored and much he hates being bored. Andrew Arsole doesn't bore him. 👀

O h d e a r . . .

Hi tumblr! Since my most popular post by far was this Read Across the United States map, I felt I should stop acting like the US comprises the entire world and make an equivalent map of wlw books for the countries of the world.

Weaving: A Handbook of the Fiber Arts

by Shirley E Held

This book was an old but a goody, with some wonderful ideas on fibre art and weaving that assisted me in my projects.

The artistic and practical aspects of creating fabric are considered in discussions on weaving on the loom and by hand, spinning and coloring yarn, and designing material

This book historically looks at early battles between the Colonial Rule of Australia,the aboriginal tribes and white settlers/convicts. The first chapter Army of Occupation obviously looks at the question of the 1st fleet landing and settlement antagonising the local aborigines. Twin Battles of Sydney Battle of Vinegar Hill Battle of Bathurst Battle of Pinjarra Battle of Eureka stockade Battle of Battle Mountain

An alternative view of Australian history. Through accounts of four clashes, this book demonstrates the realities of life on the Australian frontier and through a retelling of the stories of Vinegar Hill and Eureka reminds the reader of the central place of resistance in Australia's past.

Blood on the Wattle draws together most of the information about the massacres of Aboriginal people which has been recorded in books and journals. Blood on the Wattle draws together, in a single volume, most of the information about the massacres of Aboriginal people which has been recorded in books and journals. It also creates a broad-based level of awareness of the scale of the massacres of Aboriginal people so that this dimension of Australian history can become part of the Australian consciousness. About the Author Bruce Elder is an award-winning journalist and writer who has been involved in the writing of more than 50 books, including the Macquarie Dictionary and The A - Z of Who is Who in Australia's History. He is a journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald specialising in travel and popular culture.

"Judy Watson is one of Australia's leading contemporary artists. Her art explores territory that includes the dispossessed Indigenous Australians with whom she shares a family history and heritage. Judy Watson's art is intense and sublime in its physicality." "Blood language is a beautifully illustrated pictorial exploration of some of Judy Watson's seminal canvases, works on paper, sculptural projects and artist's books. Judy Watson imparts the artist's ideas and writer Louise Martin-Chew gives another insight into the artist's practice."--Jacket.

Large, bold and colourful, Indigenous Australian art has impressed itself on the contemporary imagination. But it is controversial, dividing the stakeholders from those who smell a scam. Whether the artists are victims or victors, there is no denying their impact in the media and on the art world and collectors worldwide. How did it become the most successful Indigenous art in the world? How did its artists escape the ethnographic and souvenir markets to become players in an art world from which they had been barred? Superbly illustrated, and rich in detail and critical analysis, this book provides the first full historical account of Indigenous Australian art and shows that there is much more to the art than large colourful canvasses. About the Author Ian McLean is Senior Research Professor of Contemporary Art at the University of Wollongong and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Western Australia. His previous books include Double Desire: Transculturation and Indigenous Art (2014), How Aborigines Invented the Idea of Contemporary Art (2011) and White Aborigines: Identity Politics in Australian Art (2009).

Floating Life: Contemporary Aboriginal Fibre Art

Contributing authors include Diane Moon, Diana Wood Conroy, Anna Haebich, John Kean, Julie Ewington, Bruce McLean, Lynne Seear 160 pages paperback colour illustrations

'Floating Life' highlights the importance of fibre within Aboriginal culture, and the Gallery's unique collection of more than 300 fibre objects. Included are commissioned pieces by key artists as well as acquisitions from established and emerging talents. There are woven fibre pieces, three-dimensional works with connections to the objects, and paintings illustrating processes and stitches used.

Banumbirr (the Morning Star), water, and the notion of movement through time and place are major themes. Water defines pathways and points of connection in Aboriginal life and marks important creation sites associated with specific woven objects. Spirit figures, ceremonial poles, dance objects, body adornment and useful nets and traps — ranging from small and delicate to large-scale — reflect variations on tradition, whereas exciting contemporary explorations are embodied in the found materials used by Lorraine Connelly-Northey. An in-depth view of the work of artists such as Jonathan Jones, Gulumbu Yunupingu, Shirley MacNamara, Yvonne Koolmatrie, Lena Yarinkura and Alan Griffiths recognises their role in forging important new directions.

Selling Yarns 3: Weaving the nation's story was a four-day event that presented a conference, a market day, workshops, an exhibition and associated activities program, and launched the inaugural Indigenous Art Film program. As the premier national forum for Indigenous textile and fibre in the country it was supported by the Centenary of Canberra, drawing people to the nation's capital from across the country.

Thirty Indigenous communities and art centres and 134 artists from every state and territory in Australia converged in Canberra to participate in Selling Yarns 3: Weaving the nation's story. Indigenous artists and elders, and art administrators, came together and participated as speakers, workshop facilitators and market stall holders to share their stories, exchange their knowledge and skills, and to trade. They opened their hearts to each other and to other conference delegates and visitors. As Tim Growcott so eloquently stated post conference:

"An authentic spirit of reconciliation coursed strongly throughout the four days, with so many stories and examples of practical collaborations and life- changing projects. The conference was a recognition of the important and sensitive work being accomplished by like-minded creators, forging links with the living past and forming models for healing into the future."

The project was a huge success, inspiring artists and creating strategic alliances between Indigenous communities across Australia. There has been significant cross cultural engagement and inspiration with international Indigenous artists and culture which paves the way for lasting relationships with opportunities to develop further collaborations and joint projects. Establishing dialogue and sharing cross-cultural exchanges with international artists, curators and researchers has placed Australian Indigenous textile practice within the broader international arena.
