The Queen's Gambit, by Walter Tevis

I finally finished reading The Queen's Gambit and I'm very impressed.

I picked up the book because I liked the show. It's realism and apart from the detailed descriptions of chess openings, the series more or less follows the book.

The one major difference is that, in the book, Beth decides to seek Jolene's help during her biggest downward spiral and not the other way around. Jolene helps Beth with her drinking problem through exercise. She's teaching physical education at the university and is in the process of applying for a job at a big law firm in Atlanta. She is someone who knows what she wants and works hard to get it. In the series, Jolene is engaged to a white lawyer man, but there's no such thing in the book.

Another difference is Beth's losing game to Borgov in Paris. Unlike the series, she's doesn't drink and wake up hungover the next day with a woman in her bed. She sleeps well and plays chess well. And despite doing everything right, she still loses the game. I personally quite like that. Sometimes your best is just not good enough.

Beth is afraid of Borgov in the book, right until the very end. In one of his very first appearances, he's compared to gorilla, which is very different from the handsome man he was in the series.

Beth's feelings towards Jolene (and other women) are also clearer in the book. Beth thinks Jolene is beautiful and wants to tell her she loves her. Beth has sex with men, but never describes it as good or fulfilling. Townes was Beth's love interest in the series, but there's nobody like that in the book. She doesn't long for a romantic relationship with anyone, chess is her one and only passion.

The overarching theme of the book is addiction, and I think its portrayed very well. Considering it was written in the 80s by a man, Beth's portrayal as a woman struggling with addiction and excelling in a man-dominated field is excellent.

Definitely worth a read!

For the ask game

A K R T U

A - Ships that you currently like a lot.

rhaenicent (hotd), wilmon (young royals)

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc

i think saying sasuke would be too obvious of an answer for me, so im gonna do something a little different: beth harmon (the queen's gambit), ichigo (bleach), kageyama and hinata (haikyuu), raskolnikov (crime and punishment)

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

shin ha-ri and jin young-seo (business proposal)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

too many to count lmao, but off the top of my head, here's some of them:

jolene (the queen's gambit) is a communist

percy (pjo) is aro and a person of color, i personally say he's seasian, but im open to other poc percy hcs

kageyama (haikyuu) is bi and autistic and he likes both classical music and kpop, especially girl groups

shihouin yuushirou (bleach) is trans

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

again, i dont want to say the obvious answers since that would defeat the purpose of the ask game, so:

rashta (remarried empress) for simultaneously being a girlboss and a poor little meow meow who was forced to eat cement when she was 5

hazel levesque (hoo) bc she's basically Mommy Issues: the Character, from growing up too fast and having the weight of the entire world on her shoulders at 13 years old, to her emotional repression

ryougi shiki (kara no kyoukai) bc she's gender and also bc she's a girlboss with a malewife love interest

send me more letters of the alphabet!

BioShock/Sinking City: Jackabeth Family Headcanons

These are my headcanons for the Jackabeth family: Jack Jolene, Elizabeth DeWitt Jolene, their five adopted daughters (Sally, Masha, Leta, Annabelle, and Daisy), their biological son Booker, and of course, Brigid Tenenbaum.

Having grown up in Rapture, almost every former Little Sister had agoraphobia - the fear of open spaces. Sally, Masha, Leta, Annabelle, and Daisy had Jack and Liz to help them adapt to the surface world and not hide away within the rooms of the Grimhaven Bay Lighthouse. Tenenbaum made sure to aid the orphanage’s staff in caring for the 35 new arrivals and helping them to adjust.

One of the games that the girls loved to play with Jack and Liz was Hide-and-Seek. However, their variant had Jack or Liz using their different flavors of invisibility to hide in plain sight, with the rest of them being the Seekers. Jack’s Camouflage tonic required him to stay completely still, so finding him wasn’t as hard as trying to find Liz. Her Peeping Tom plasmid allowed her to move around and remain invisible, making for Hide-and-Seek games where she remained unfound until the end of the game, or until she ran out of EVE.

Their all-time favorite show is The Twilight Zone. Jack and Liz both had their lives turned completely upside-down and then thrust into some of the strangest, most bizarre, and horrible situations that anyone has ever been in, just like the characters in the show. The girls enjoy watching because their parental figures do. Also, Liz has a secret crush on Rod Serling (which Jack completely knows about).

As soon as the girls are old enough, Jack and Liz teach them how to shoot guns. After everything they’ve been through, none of them want to be without the means of defending themselves. Especially in a city like Oakmont....

When the girls became old enough to date, Jack convinces Liz to “chaperone” - that is, to follow them while invisible and make sure that their date doesn’t try anything. Liz would be annoyed by this, if Oakmont wasn’t infested with inhuman monsters that could occasionally take on Human form.

After a bunch of close calls where she’s almost found out “chaperoning”, Liz begins to wonder if this is all necessary. She and Jack almost have a fight about it. He manages to convince her to do it just one more time; she agrees, and that’s the night she has to step in to protect her youngest daughter. Not from a monster, but from the date attempting to rape her.

While Liz got their daughter home, Jack contacted Charles about how to get rid of a body - one that was still alive, to be exact. A few hours later, the would-be rapist woke up in the basement of the Department of Medicine at Oakmont University, just in time to see Jack flip a switch and run upstairs, fast. An inhuman roar echoed through the room, followed immediately afterwards by very human screaming.

Just as Jack and Liz come to see Charles as something of a father figure (Liz especially), the girls come to see him as a grandfather figure. His scary stories are the best! The Jolene family becomes somewhat of an extension of the Reed family over the years, with Charles’ kids being aunt and uncle figures.

When Booker comes along, the girls, having now entered their teenage years, are enamored with him. Liz is happy to have had a child, one of the many dreams she gave up after the events in Columbia. Jack is glad to not be the only guy in the family anymore.

When Booker is about six years old, one of Tenenbaum’s theories turns out to be right: He has inherited his parent’s plasmids and gene tonics, all of them.

Booker is frightened out of his wits by all the things he can do now: Shooting fire, lightning, ice, and bees out of his hands, suddenly becoming faster and stronger, turning invisible, etc. It’s too much for him. Thankfully, he’s got a very good support system: Three mentors to help him with his powers(Jack, Liz, and, at this point, Eleanor Lamb), someone who knows what’s going on genetically (Tenenbaum), and a gaggle of loving sisters.

When puberty begins to come up Booker, Liz takes him aside and impresses that he is to NOT take advantage of his Possession or Peeping Tom plasmids when it comes to the opposite sex. She is very clear on this, and thankfully, Booker takes it to heart.

Thoughts? I will be happy to share more if I come up with them.

Good morning to those who binge watched The Queen’s Gambit in one sitting, those who can’t stop thinking about Anya Joy-Taylor’s Cupid’s bow, those who ship Bethny, those who wish Jolene had more screentime, those who wish Alma was their mother, those who watched the show because of a once crippling obsession with Newt and missed simping over Thomas Brodie-Sangster, those who wished they lived in the 60s because of the costumes in the show, those who would kill for Jolene’s happiness, those who (if they had the chance) would down those attractive little green and blue pills, those who believe Jolene and Beth are girlfriends, those who need a season two ASAP, and good morning to those who would bone Benny Watts in a heartbeat.

BioShock/Sinking City: The 1960s and the Return of Rapture

Continuing with my BioShock/Sinking City crossover, we’re going into the time period between BioShock and BioShock 2, 1960-1968, as the Jolene family (Jack took his mother’s last name) live their lives in the strange city of Oakmont, Massachusetts.

After getting settled into their new place in the Grimhaven Bay lighthouse and into his job as the lighthouse keeper, Jack begins looking into the remnants of his father’s company, Ryan Industries, on the surface. Using documents and connections obtained from Tenenbaum, he begins taking these pieces of his father’s legacy and putting them back together. Another gift he inherited from Andrew Ryan’s genetic code was a gift for finances, and he intends on using this gift.

Along with helping the former Little Sisters to adjust to the surface (and aiding the orphanage staff in caring for them), Tenenbaum also begins studying the “Innsmouth Look”, a genetic condition exhibited by the “Innsmouthers” and passed along to their descendants, and the strange genetic compositions of the “Wylebeasts”. Despite her promise to utilize proper ethics in her research, Jack and Liz keep an eye on her anyway.

In November of 1962, shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Jack and Elizabeth finally got married. With the world having just escaped nuclear war and holocaust, they both figured that it was time that they tied the knot. Charles gave Elizabeth away, Tenenbaum was the maid of honor, and Sally, Masha, Leta, Annabelle, and Daisy were the flower girls. Robert and Rosalind Lutece made an appearance as witnesses.

On November 22, 1963, both Jack, Elizabeth, and Tenenbaum were in Dallas, Texas, having gotten a former, adopted Little Sister out of a bad situation. Rather than head home to Oakmont, they decided to stick around and see the President. When Liz saw movement in a dark window, she used Peeping Tom to see what it was. To her horror, she saw not one, not two, but THREE would-be shooters, all at different vantage points, all them waiting to take out JFK.

She alerted Jack and Tenenbaum, and the three of them went into action. Between Tenenbaum’s experience in skull-drudgery and stealth, Liz’s invisibility, and Jack’s strength, the three shooters were thwarted before they could kill JFK. The trio stayed long enough to see the would-be assassins carted off by the authorities before they left to catch their flight.

A little while later, the nation was shaken to its core by the arrests of multiple figures in the military, the CIA, and the government itself, including Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. Turns out, while one of the shooters, Lee Harvey Oswald, was a lone wolf acting on his own, the other two were sent by the CIA and the US military to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in a plot to prevent his interference in pursuing their own agendas.

Jack, Liz, and Tenenbaum were contacted shortly afterwards by the Kennedy’s themselves. In private, John and Jacqueline Kennedy thanked Jack and Elizabeth Jolene and Brigid Tenenbaum for saving his life. The two families strike up a friendship which aids them both greatly; the Jolenes have the ear of the Kennedy family and their connections, while Jack provides a better example for John to follow in his relationship with his wife.

In the fall of 1964, Elizabeth begins her studies at Oakmont University. About the same time, the Paris Peace Accords ended the Vietnam War, dividing the country into North Vietnam and South Vietnam. Hailed as a hero for peacefully bringing the Vietnam War to a close, JFK is re-elected to a second term in the 1964 election.

In 1965, Liz gives birth to her and Jack’s first biological child. They decide to name the healthy boy, “Booker DeWitt Jolene”, after Liz’s dad and first friend. Masha, Leta, Sally, Annabelle, and Daisy are enamored with their new baby brother. Tenenbaum wonders aloud which, if any, of Jack and Liz’s plasmids and gene tonics were passed along to Booker; she is expressively forbidden from trying to figure out.

In 1966, Jack’s efforts to bring Ryan Industries back from the dead finally pay off. While just a ghost of its former self, the money generated from his father’s old company allows Jack to quit his job as a lighthouse keeper and buy the old Blackgate Manor. Before moving his wife, daughters, and son into it though, he spends a day clearing it of the strange creatures that took up residence following the Flood.

One night in 1967, Jack stumbles across a tall, gangly, helmeted and suited figure attempting to make off with a little girl. He finds himself in a fight for his life as his plasmids surprise his opponent more than anything else. Jack is able to rescue the little girl, but the diver escapes back into the ocean. The resemblance between the helmeted figure and the Big Daddies of Rapture is too much to ignore.

A little research, and Jack, Liz, and Tenenbaum realize the horrible truth: There are little girls disappearing from coastal towns and cities all along the Atlantic, and everything points to it originating from Rapture. Andrew Ryan’s Dream, turned Nightmare, has coming back.

Using the connections he’s made and the money he’s acquired, Jack begins putting together an expedition to go to Rapture and stop whoever has been kidnapping little girls. He’s hesitant to let Liz and Brigid come with, but between their protests, Liz’s stealth capabilities, and Brigid’s knowledge of Rapture and of ADAM, he accepts they’re are coming with.

In November of 1968, Jack and Co. reach out to Mark Meltzer, the only man who seems to connected the dots (e.g., the disappearing girls, the strange, underwater lights, and the sightings of the “Mariner”), only to learn that he has vanished. Suspecting that Meltzer is on his way to Rapture, and having finally lost her patience, Tenenbaum steals the submersible that Jack had made for the mission and sets off on a one-woman quest to stop the kidnappings.

In response, Jack and Liz accelerate the efforts to get the rescue mission underway. They were plenty motivated when they were just going out to stop the kidnappings and rescue the girls. Now, it’s personal; they have a friend to save, from herself and from Rapture.

As Thanksgiving approaches, Jack and Liz say goodbye to their daughters and son before departing. As their ship, the Mary Catherine Jolene, approaches the Lighthouse, Liz calls out to Jack from the bow of the ship, telescope in hand. Something just surfaced not far from the Lighthouse, and there’s movement on it.

Thoughts? Hope you liked my headcanons!

COWBOY LIKE ME : Act 1 ⇏Opening ◉The Slave Defence ◉ The Réti Opening ◉ The Alekhine Defence

That day the weather was colder than she had expected; usually, she wouldn't have minded, she was used to more rigid temperatures than this, but at that moment she regretted not wearing a heavier coat over her new Givenchy dress.

The red-haired girl tried to not think about that while she was getting out from the taxi that had brought her from her house in Southland - a respectable residential area in the South-West part of the city - to the proximity of Phoenix Park , in the centre of Lexington, in front of a row of newly built skyscrapers. That had been her route every Thursday afternoon for the previous six months.
