Red Peafowl - Assumptions and Theories

Now that I am semi-confident that there won't be any more important announcement for Red Peafowl until the 25th (because I think the last two mystery announcement were the Main Character and Main Love Interest) I am ready to write up my Red Peafowl assumptions/theories/wishes post.

Edit: There has been another update with the plot and some images of either the pilot trailer or the actual series link here. Once again thanks to @mysterygrl20 for putting the post with the google trnaslation here on tumbrl.

Going to use as basis for my information @blmpff post here; @mysterygrl20 individual posts tag here; and the mdl plot synopsis here; along with the synopsis I read on cast announcment articles that goes like this: The drama tells the story of Lu Yi Peng, a former police officer who decides to live with Shuai on an island, raising birds. However, he realizes that the person he once had a relationship with is a powerful mafia boss.

Also going to tag @respectthepetty for helping me narrowing down the leads (YinWar/MossBank) and for sharing my madness over this crazy ass BL already.

Going to start by saying that I think the three mystery characters are the villain, the hero and the love interest. I am also going to work under the assumption that while the last two will be revealed on the 25th (I am leaning on YinWar at the present thanks to a comment made by @amos-reviews-main [hope you don't mind the tag] under the last announcment) the third one our villain will stay a mystery.

Let's beging

ASSUMPTION N#1

Given that there seems to be a significant event in the past we are either getting two timelines (similar to kiseki dear to me but more evenly split between past and present) or the events from the past will be a mystery to the viewers to be slowly revealed using flashbacks.

Both of the plots hint at this, the character description for the hero and the fact that some of the stuff in other character description also seem to hint that they were part of what happen in the past.

If the second non mdl plot is more accurate something brings our hero back to town and into dealing with the mafia. Which leads me to

ASSUMPTION N#2

Cooheart character will be intrumental to bringing his brother our hero back into the fold. His character description hints at him being the biggest point of the contention between our main couple and that he has some kind of accident.

Another character that has an accident is Gun's character.

Also there is a doctor nurse in the cast list.

Edit: Cooheart's character accident is the past, and it has left him with a disability. I do still believe that he will get someone involved in all of this.

Either Gun's accident involves Cooheart's character (not on purpouse) in the present or Cooheart's character had an accident in the past and is now seeing a doctor regularly.

ASSUMPTION N#3

Like I mention earlier I think our third mystery character is the villain. His body dissapeared = No body no murder = he is still alive. That is just the biggest writing rule ever.

If the actor for that character doesn't get revelead it means that one of the other actor is actually that character pretending to be someone else (probably one of the cops or a character that doesn't interact with the love interest for obvious reasons). If they do have a seperate actor that probably means that at least one if not more of our big cast is secretely working for him.

ASSUMPTION N#4

There are only two genres that benift from having such a big cast and making sure they all have identifiable characteristics and fan anticipation: Mysteries or Something with a high body count.

It means that our cast of characters are either Suspects or Victims or Both.

EDIT: It's a mystery. I do still believe some of the people from the big cast are going to die.

Either way I do think that a lot of the new people will end up dying at some point during the series.

ASSUMPTION N#5

Themes. If this show has decent writing I can already ID 3 themes.

The new tendency in bl fandom to romanticize the mafia. See Lee's character being a human trafficker and our lead being potentially not that great either.

The cops, and how they are not there to protect and serve and how much the crime fight is really a sham. See Frank's character being an undercover cop (a plot line that usually has a the undercover cop come out on the other side with a semi-broken relationship to his job)

Toxic Ships (a la: Kinnporsche, Hannibal and Interview with the Vampire)

About the last one: I have a personal metric on wether or not I enjoy a toxic "problematic" ship

Do you get the sense/vibe from the writing that the creator/writers of the show knows this is fucked. And I don't mean a lampshade comment with someone saying "This is not healty" and everything resuming as normal.

Is there a point in which the dynamic becomes more equal. As in no matter which character is objectively "worse" is there a point where it feels like the characters are on equal footing, on the same side, Hannibal does this really well for example.

Some ships that don't pass the test are: Twilight, 50 Shades, R*ylo; TharnType and every ship on Love Syndrome (do not ever watch that BL I am serious)

ASSUMPTION N#6

Ships.

FrankLee are obviously our second couple. They are both super relevant to the potential themes, they are obviously trying to pair braind (this is their third BL) and they were also announced first.

Boun and the Doctor are giving me crumbs ship vibe. They are both potentially important chartacters. But I feel like with all of this their relationship might have the least ammount of dedicated screen time.

Now the last one is less of an assumption and more of a wish really.

Max-Coohearth > now listen I know that Cooheart has a love interest already, Rome one of the first new guys announced in the cast. But Listen the fact they are already dating doesn't bode well for them. Cooheart is a super important character and it makes sense that his "proper" love interest would be someone in the mafia proper.

Plus Cooheart deserves it ok. I loved both of his major roles (uwma and my only 12%), but he wasn't allowed to be a proper sexy queer guy in either of them. Have you seen his instagram feed? It's picture after picture of him in sexy outfits. Let this man be in a high heat realtionship, put in a skirt. He deserves it and so do we.

Also Max from iconic pair MaxTul pair with Cooheart will heal people. It would totally fix me. And if they give this to me I will forgive anything and everything this show does wrong seriously I will be like: I was wrong on everything and the plot is not that good, but they give me MaxCooheart so 10/10.

Also the character description for Max's character makes me think that catchphrase they mention might be something similar to the English phrase: "Who's Your Daddy?" and [this is @respectthepetty's fault, I didn't use to have such glee about a possibly daddy kink] seeing Max Nattapol uttering the phrase Who's Your Daddy and potentially having a DaddyKink relationship with Cooheart is something I didn't know I needed but now I desperately desire.

On July 16th 1882 thirty-one Shetland "sixerns", with a total of 105 crewmen were lost in a storm. The event is still remembered as "The Bad Day".

This post covers three Shetland fishing tragedies over a 68 year period, it ended the centuries old tradition of Haff fishing in small six manned bots in the open waters of the North Atlantic around Shetland. Two of these tragedies happened in July, the third in December, however I have decided to post about the three in the one post.

There were between 300 and 500 sixareens or sixerns in Shetland. The Haaf fishing proved to be a hard life for these boats and they only tended to last 5 or 6 years. When they finished their lives as a fishing vessel some ended up being used as a flit boat for moving livestock, peats and other goods between islands or from ship to shore. The sixareens may eventually have ended up as the roof of shed or outbuilding. Nothing was ever wasted in Shetland, especially if it was wooden!

The men would travel up between 20 and 40 miles offshore. As the men were dealing with a prevailing wind, they could usually only sail in one direction. They were always happier if they could row out with a relatively light boat and sail back with a heavy load of fish!

When they reached the fishing grounds, the fishermen would barely be in sight of the highest hills in Shetland. They would have sea all around them.

Haaf fishing was very dangerous due to the unpredictable nature of the weather far out at sea. However, when you look at the numbers of men that fished and the length of time that they fished for, the actual disasters are relatively few.

On 16th July 1832 31 Shetland “sixareens” and a total of 105 crewmen were lost in a storm. The event is still remembered as “The Bad Day”. A London Distress Fund was set up and raised the sum of £3000. The money was raised for the dependants of the crofter-fishermen lost. The crew of one boat in 1832, did manage a lucky escape from the storm as they were picked up by a passing American sloop. However, the Captain of the American vessel refused to alter his course to Philadelphia and so, despite passing close to Orkney, the survivors had to cross the Atlantic and endure a further six months away from home before returning.

During another storm on 20th July 1881, hurricane force winds caught the fishermen by surprise. The boats that tried to come home were mostly capsized or swamped, but those that stayed at their lines for the most part survived. In all ten boats foundered and 58 Haaf fishermen lost their lives. They left behind 34 widows and 85 orphans. Six of these boats and 36 of the men were from the fishing station at Gloup in North Yell. It was a tragic loss for a small community.

On the morning of 21st December 1900, boats from Firth, Mossbank and Toft set off for the winter haddock fishing. They were some 32 kilometres (20 miles) away, between the Horse of Burravpoe and  Snap, when they were caught in a sudden and severe gale from the north-west. Many were lost during the storm which came on in the space of five minutes. The fleet were scattered. One made it to Whalsay, Skerries and Lunning but the rest were lost.

22 men were drowned, leaving 15 widows (5 of whom were pregnant), and 51 children. Firth was hit the hardest. Many of the men were great fishermen and the disaster devastated the Delting fishing industry, which never recovered. The women continued to work the crofts. Children grew up and moved away, leading to a rapid decline in population.

The plight of the families left destitute led to a lot of publicity in local and national press. The Delting Disaster Fund was set up to help those affected and it was one of Queen Victoria’s last public acts to appeal for support.

These major fishing disasters signalled the beginning of the end for Haaf fishing. The herring fishery in the 1880s and the Crofter’s Act of 1886, which put an end to the truck system, were two more nails in its coffin.

Larger safer boats were introduced and undecked sixareens were replaced by fully decked smacks. Fishermen could finally install a few home comforts. However, when the steam trawler was introduced, longlining in large sailing boats couldn’t compete economically. Haaf fishing stopped quite quickly at this point.

There are few sixareens left in Shetland. There are a couple of replicas and bits and pieces lying around here and there. At the Shetland Museum and Archives there’s a replica sixareen called the Vaila Mae. She sails regularly in Lerwick Harbour and you can even get a trip on her during Shetland Boat Week!

One of the only surviving sixareens from the past can be seen in the Shetland Museum, see pic teo, . She was built as the Foula mail boat, which fished for a little while and then ended up as a flit boat for shifting peats. She didn’t spend much of her life as a fishing sixareen.

You can find memorials all over Shetland to those lost at sea.

The Devil You Don't

Chapter 19: Violets

So, I managed to turn one of my own OC's into a brain worm. And now I share him with all of you....

Oh bugger. He was flirting. She knew Mossbank had sent her here with an ulterior motive, but she was famously terrible at the back and forth banter required for such a gambit. Usually she got out of situations like this by being as boring as possible until they went away, but she’d promised the old headmaster she would at least try.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you. If it helps there is usually a new rumour every month, so if you stick around you’re sure to at least be entertained.”

He smiled, and it was a warmer gesture than she might have expected from a drow, which just went to show she likely had her own small prejudices that went unnoticed. 

“Be that as it may. It would be the height of rudeness not to present you with a token of our appreciation.”

It was odd, he was looking at her as closely as any letch too stupid to disguise their assessing glances, and yet she didn’t feel the crawl of disgust along her skin, mostly because she felt as if she were being held in his eye as a frame to something else rather than a victim of outright lechery. It was her turn to look slightly amused now, as he seemed to have a silent, mental conversation with himself, before brightening and bringing his hands together with a soft clap.

GlyphosateGlyphosate is a sustainable plant option that farmers can use to safeguard our food supply in the future.

It's not hard to see the world's experiencing an growth in the population. グリホサート The world is predicted to be 9.7billion people by 2050. This is more than 2 billion more than today.1 But the land that is used for agriculture in the world isn't expanding with us. This causes serious issues for farmers, who need to produce enough food products of top quality to feed Canadians as well as people all over the world. Canada is currently the 5th largest food exporter globally.2 As the population increases, Canadian farmers in particular will play a crucial role in providing the globe with the food it requires. They'll need to be able meet increased demand. To meet the growing demand, the farmers will need to grow 70 percent more food by 2050. グリホサート *Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. How to Feed the Planet in 2050 The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. How to provide for the whole world by 2050 Farmers aren't equipped to deal with this rising demand. Modern technology, like herbicides and glyphosate, are able to aid farmers in controlling herbicides effectively and effectively. This leads to an improved sustainability and stability of food supply. What exactly is glyphosate? Glyphosate, a versatile and non-selective herbicide has been used by gardeners, land managers, and farmers around the globe for over 40 years. It is a chemical that induces an enzyme required by plants to grow, in this case undesirable weeds. Glyphosate is completely safe for animals and people if used correctly. Glyphosate can be utilized in a variety of other ways other than agriculture. Municipalities utilize it in urban green areas to protect the public and wildlife from harmful weeds.6 It's also used on railways to maintain the conductors' visibility and stop fires from spreading across the tracks.7 In recent years, glyphosate is received more attention and is increasingly being used in our daily life. While it's important to think about the ingredients in our food and drink but it's important to note that more 160 international government health regulators including Health Canada have agreed that glyphosate when used correctly is safe for human consumption. Canadians will be able to comprehend the effects of glyphosate and how it operates and why it is so important for food production. Glyphosate: Why is it being used in agriculture? Glyphosate-based herbicides provide many advantages for farmers, consumers and the environment. It is crucial for efficient herbicides and sustainable food supply as well as environmental sustainability. Let's look at each of these benefits in greater in depth. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization the loss could increase to as high as two times if they're not properly protected. This is a huge loss, particularly for farmers who depend on those crops to support their families. It's not surprising that farmers have been relying on their tools each year. Applying glyphosate to the fields is a proven method of keeping harmful herbicides from crops and especially those that are tolerant to glyphosate. Crops vs. Weeds: The fight of their lives Glyphosate provides a fighting chance for crops. グリホサート Canadians and other consumers around the world reap the benefits of a wide selection of affordable food The population is growing and the majority of the land used for food production is at risk due to soil degradation and desertification.10 This is causing increased food security. グリホサート 分析 Canadians will be paying 55% more for food if the latest agriculture innovations were not implemented, such as the use of glyphosate.11 The foods we love would be harder to come by. However, thanks to plant science farmers will soon be able to cultivate more of our favorite food items over time. Glyphosate can do more than help keep your produce at a reasonable cost. Glyphosate is also used by farmers to manage the land that Cherilyn Joy-Nagle, a resident of Mossbank in Saskatchewan calls "their greatest asset"--their property. グリホサート We love eating at tables. Farmers can flourish when they use crop protection tools, for example, glyphosate. It protects crops from pests and disease. 42% more grains such as corn and wheat 72% more fruits 83 percent more potatoes and other vegetables12 The benefits are clear. But is Glyphosate really safe? Simply simply put, absolutely. As with all pesticides, you should always follow the instructions on the label. Canada regulates glyphosate usage by two organizations The first is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency(CFIA) who inspects crops and verifies that they are free from pesticide residue. The Pest Management and Regulation Agency (PMRA) provides the guidelines for regulation and submission evaluations. In addition, to making sure that approved herbicides are used properly by farmers, regulatory agencies will also ensure that safe and proper use of glyphosate is maintained by manufacturers, farmers and animals to ensure that no unintended danger is created to the natural environment or animals. Thanks to technology advancements and the use of precision farming, farmers can use information to make it easier for them to pinpoint applying glyphosate in specific zones. It is very rare for pesticide residue will be found on food products. グリホサート CFIA assures farmers that they apply herbicides in a safe manner and adhere to established residue limits16. This is extremely rare and doesn't present a threat to the health of animals or humans17. Glyphosate usage as part of practices for sustainable agriculture In an integrated pest/weed management system, farmers apply herbicides like glyphosate. They utilize several herbicides to fight weeds. Glyphosate permits farmers to adopt conservation tillage/no-till practices which have long-term benefits to soil and air as well as the natural environment. - A reduction or elimination of tilling or plowing of land - Reduce CO2 emissions Capturing carbon out of the soil Improve soil health - Reducing water runoff and erosion "No pesticide regulator around the globe currently assesses the glyphosate as a cancer risk to humans at the current levels at which they are exposed." -- Health Canada, January 11, 2019. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The most important thing is making sure Canadian farmers have the equipment, technology, and support they need in order to supply the increasing food needs of a growing populace. Through the use of the best agricultural, pest control and food safety practices, farmers will ensure that our food is safe and plentiful. https://www.nies.go.jp/kisplus/dtl/chem/YOT00096 Glyphosate is one of many instruments they'll use to ensure that Canadians and all people worldwide are able to access affordable and nutritious food items.

GlyphosateGlyphosate is a sustainable crop choice used by farmers to secure our food supply in the future.

It's not a surprise that the population of the world is growing. It's no secret that global population is growing. By 2050, it will grow to 9.7 million people.1 However, the area of land used for agriculture in the world isn't expanding as fast as we are. This causes serious issues for farmers, who need to produce enough food of high quality to supply Canadians as well as people all over the world. Canada is the fifth-largest food exporter across the world.2 Canadian farmers will be crucial in providing food for the increasing population. They will be faced with greater demands than ever and will have to deal with pests, diseases and weather changes to ensure their land is healthy and productive for generations to come. To meet growing demands, farmers will need to produce 70 per cent more food by 2050. *Source How to Feed the World 2050 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations How to Feed the World in 2050 This growing demand is too to be handled by farmers by themselves. The latest tools and technologies, like herbicides like Glyphosate, allow farmers to manage weeds effectively and accurately, which results in a more sustainable, secure food supply. What is glyphosate, exactly? Glyphosate has been utilized for more 40 years by land managers, farmers and gardeners across the globe. グリホサート It acts by blocking an enzyme that plants -- in this case, undesirable weeds, require to develop. The enzymes are not present in animals or humans.4 Glyphosate is not any danger to plants when used correctly. There are also a wide range of uses for glyphosate, which goes beyond agricultural. It is used in municipalities to guard the public and wildlife against harmful weeds.6 Furthermore, it's used to stop burning and ensure the visibility of railway tracks. In recent times, there's been a heightened amount of focus on glyphosate and its use in our lives. Although it's essential to be aware of what goes into our food, it's worth noting that more than 160 health regulatory bodies around the world such as Health Canada, agree that the use of glyphosate in a safe manner for humans can be properly done. Canadians must be able to understand what glyphosate means and how it is utilized and what it does for food production. Why should glyphosate be utilized in agriculture The agricultural use of glyphosate-based herbicides benefits consumers, farmers as well as the environment. It is crucial to efficient weed-control, a secure food supply, sustainability of the environment, and sustainable weed management. Let's look at each of these advantages in more in depth. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization these losses could increase by as much as double if they're not protected. This is a devastating loss especially for farmers when you consider that these crops are their livelihood. So, it's no wonder farmers have come to depend on the tools they rely on, year in and year out. Applying glyphosate in fields with resistant crops to glyphosate is a tried and tested method of keeping harmful weeds away from crop. Crops and. weeds - the fight of their life Glyphosate is a powerful ally for crop. Benefits to Canadians and other consumers around the world Benefits to Canadians and consumers worldwide: plentiful, affordable food The population is growing and half of the agricultural land is in danger because of land degradation and desertification.10 This has led to increased food insecurity. Canadians may pay 55% more for food without modern farming techniques like Glyphosate. It could also make it harder for us to locate the food we are drawn to. However, thanks to the science of plants, farmers will be in a position to produce more of our favorite meals over time. Glyphosate can help to manage weeds and maintain affordable produce in the supermarket. It also helps farmers take care of the land that Cherilyn Jolly-Nagle farmer in Mossbank, Saskatchewan calls "their most valuable asset"--their property. Keeping foods we love on the table Crop protection tools such as glyphosate may be used to safeguard crops against disease and pests. Farmers can grow. 42% more grains as corn and wheat 72% More Fruit 83 percent more vegetables and potatoes12 The benefits are evident. But is glyphosate safe to use? It is important to remember that all pesticides need to be used in accordance with label directions. Canada has two regulatory bodies that regulate glyphosate. グリホサート One is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which inspects crops to see the presence of residue of pesticides. グリホサート cas And the Pest Management Regulating Agency (PMRA) which gives the regulations for product evaluations, approvals, and other guidelines (or refusals) and has one the largest evaluation procedures throughout the world. Although regulatory authorities are responsible to ensure that farmers are using appropriate herbicides producers and farmers contribute to ensuring that glyphosate can be used safely and properly so that there is no unintended harm to the environment, animals, or humans. Furthermore, precision agriculture has enabled farmers to use data to increase their ability to apply glyphosate at the precise areas and quantities. It is extremely rare for pesticide residue will be found on food products. The CFIA makes sure that farmers apply herbicides in a safe manner and adhere to the established residue limits.16 On the rare occasions that it is found in small amounts (e.g. 1 part per billion) this is lower than the limit set by the Government of Canada, and is not a health or safety concern since it doesn't pose any risk to humans or animals.18 Glyphosate is a component of sustainable farming practices. In an integrated pest/weed management system, farmers employ herbicides such as glyphosate. They utilize several herbicides to control weeds. Glyphosate has enabled farmers to use conservation techniques and no-till methods to provide long-term benefit for the soil and the air. - Reduction or elimination of plowing/tilling of land To cut CO2 emissions Capturing carbon from the soil - Improving soil health - Reducing water flow and limiting erosion13 "No pesticide regulatory agency in the world has considered Glyphosate as the risk of human cancer at present levels." - Health Canada (January 11, 2019, Health Canada). グリホサート Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This is the best time than ever for Canadian farmers to have the equipment, tools and resources needed to meet growing food supply needs. We can anticipate that farmers will continue to preserve the quality and safety of our food by adhering to the best agricultural and food protection and insect control practices. Glyphosate is only one of the instruments they'll employ to ensure that Canadians, and people around the globe are able to access healthy and affordable food, now and for the years to come. グリホサート

BL Wishes

My List of things and Plots that I Would Like to See In BL

FIRST: Rapid Fire Specific Drama Edition:

Big Dragon S2: I need it, I need it now and I need at least one kinky scene with MossBank because I have not forgotten about the lack of kinky sex in s1. I know it's going to focus on a new couple but I need at least one sexy kinky time with them please and thank you.

I need Minato Coin Laundry s2 not to break them up, or have stupid cheating plots. (The bar is in hell)

I need both Domundi (The Next Prince, Naughty Babe, Love Upon a Time, Middleman) and Taiwan (I forgot the names of announced shows but it's in my blog somewhere) Line Ups to come to me and I need it now. Especially Taiwan.

I need Make A Wish to be more available, I could only find it with Italian Subs, I didn't watch it yet, but the ending seems to be hinting at a season 2 and at the possiblity of a poly ending (or at least a love triangle) so I need other people to be able to watch it as well.

The HIstory franchise needs to get its shit together and start producing more and better shows. Like for all of it's fault I did like History 4 and History 5 was fine. But I need more, I need them to do 2 shows again, I don't want them to "fine" I want them to go all out. Go Crazy. Just don't kill gays again.

Now More Generic BL Wishes:

VAMPIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just give me vampires, maybe even some werewolves. I need it, I know that we have Mafia BLs but I want Vampire BL god damn it!!!! The main four actors of Cutie Pie would be great a Vampire-Werewolf BL. And I know Fluke Natouch would be great as a Vampire as well (he was in 2015 movie playing a human to vampire co-lead). I also think Earth Cooheart would be great as a Vampire. And MossBank, they would be great in a werewolves pair.

Speaking of Fluke Natouch and Earth Cooheart I need both of them to get more adult and darker roles. I need Cooheart to be allowed to be a little sexy, and I know Fluke would do a darker powerful role justice, I want him to be in a role where he bringes "bigger" man to their knees. I want to see him covered in blood (I say this with love)

POLYCULE with the main four actors of Cutie Pie. This is entairly @respectthepetty's fault. I saw the MaxZee posts on her blog and and It send me down a rabbit hole. By the way did you know there are no true polycule fanfic of the four of them, there is something, but not true polycule and never with Lian and Yi as a pair. Truly no one knows these characters they way @respectthepetty knows them.

Also @respectthepetty's fault for putting this in my head: Domundi Line Up Mash Up. Bad Friend and Middleman Ship meet Cutie Pie and Naughty Babe's ships. In one big BL. The idea is now in my head and it's glorious. Let's Do It!!

Choco Milk Shake Thair Remake but Poly this time. Not sure what trio could do this, but I need it.

LET GUN KISS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT OFF. Listen I realize that OffGun are probably GMMTV best pair branding, and I know that both Off and Gun are going to bank on this pair and be settled for life. I don't even need Gun to be in an endgame ship with another actor, I just need him to kiss another male actor. Not Me would have been the best scenario because of the twins situation. But they didn't go there, and I will never forgive them for that.

Related to Number 5, I had this idea for a plot with an OffGun endgame ship, that started with Gun's character being in a relationship with Sing (because I am still mad about ToddBlack - Listen they have baited us twice with GunSing kiss I need this now) who cheats on him and Gun has to move out and finds an appartmant with Off's character and maybe another roomate played by Tay because I love the Tay/Off dynamic. We would get scenes with Gun and Sing together, showings us flashbacks and stuff but also an OffGun endgame. WIN WIN!!

I need more shows with parents that are in the murky gray area between full acceptance and abusive, I need them not to change their mind at the end and I need a realistic exploration of what it means for a queer person to have parents in that gray area, I want them to question if it's worth it to have to be one that is keeping that realtionship alive. I am also loving the trend of dramas dealing with homophobia and I need to see more of it. I don't want it in all my BLs far from it, but I do like when BL goes there.

More disable characters in BL, preferably by disable actor's but this is a streach so, I just need more disability in BL.

And more actually fat characters, not like Jao in SCOY (which I Love, but calling him fat, felt like a bit of a strech)

And Obviously more GLs and more masc women in GL

I think that's it. Those are the major ones. Feel free to share your thoughts on your own wishes or if you agree or disagree with any of my ideas.

MossBank

On 16th July 1832 tragedy struck when 31 Shetland “sixerns”, the traditional fishing craft of Shetland and a  total of 105 crewmen were lost in a storm.

There were between 300 and 500 sixareens or sixerns in Shetland. The Haaf fishing proved to be a hard life for these boats and they only tended to last 5 or 6 years. When they finished their lives as a fishing vessel some ended up being used as a flit boat for moving livestock, peats and other goods between islands or from ship to shore. The sixareens may eventually have ended up as the roof of shed or outbuilding. Nothing was ever wasted in Shetland, especially if it was wooden!

The men would travel up between 20 and 40 miles offshore. As the men were dealing with a prevailing wind, they could usually only sail in one direction. They were always happier if they could row out with a relatively light boat and sail back with a heavy load of fish!

When they reached the fishing grounds, the fishermen would barely be in sight of the highest hills in Shetland. They would have sea all around them.

Haaf fishing was very dangerous due to the unpredictable nature of the weather far out at sea. However, when you look at the numbers of men that fished and the length of time that they fished for, the actual disasters are relatively few. On 16 July 1832 31 Shetland “sixareens” and a total of 105 crewmen were lost in a storm. The event is still remembered as “The Bad Day”. A London Distress Fund was set up and raised the sum of £3000. The money was raised for the dependants of the crofter-fishermen lost. The crew of one boat in 1832, did manage a lucky escape from the storm as they were picked up by a passing American sloop. However, the Captain of the American vessel refused to alter his course to Philadelphia and so, despite passing close to Orkney, the survivors had to cross the Atlantic and endure a further six months away from home before returning.

During another storm on 20th July 1881, hurricane force winds caught the fishermen by surprise. The boats that tried to come home were mostly capsized or swamped, but those that stayed at their lines for the most part survived. In all ten boats foundered and 58 Haaf fishermen lost their lives. They left behind 34 widows and 85 orphans. Six of these boats and 36 of the men were from the fishing station at Gloup in North Yell. It was a tragic loss for a small community.

On the morning of 21st December 1900, boats from Firth, Mossbank and Toft set off for the winter haddock fishing. They were some 32 kilometres (20 miles) away, between the Horse of Burravpoe and Da Snap, when they were caught in a sudden and severe gale from the north-west.Many were lost during the storm which came on in the space of five minutes. The fleet were scattered. One made it to Whalsay, Skerries and Lunning but the rest were lost.

22 men were drowned, leaving 15 widows (5 of whom were pregnant), and 51 children. Firth was hit the hardest. Many of the men were great fishermen and the disaster devastated the Delting fishing industry, which never recovered. The women continued to work the crofts. Children grew up and moved away, leading to a rapid decline in population.

The plight of the families left destitute led to a lot of publicity in local and national press. The Delting Disaster Fund was set up to help those affected and it was one of Queen Victoria’s last public acts to appeal for support

These major fishing disasters signalled the beginning of the end for Haaf fishing. The herring fishery in the 1880s and the Crofter’s Act of 1886, which put an end to the truck system, were two more nails in its coffin.

Larger safer boats were introduced and undecked sixareens were replaced by fully decked smacks. Fishermen could finally install a few home comforts. However, when the steam trawler was introduced, longlining in large sailing boats couldn’t compete economically. Haaf fishing stopped quite quickly at this point.

There are few sixareens left in Shetland, a couple of replicas and bits and pieces lying around here and there. At the Shetland Museum and Archives there’s a replica sixareen called the Vaila Mae. She sails regularly in Lerwick Harbour and you can even get a trip on her during Shetland Boat Week!

One of the only surviving sixareens from the past can be seen in the Shetland Museum. She was built as the Foula mail boat, which fished for a little while and then ended up as a flit boat for shifting peats. She didn’t spend much of her life as a fishing sixareen.

You can find memorials all over Shetland to those lost at sea not just for the tragedies I have mentioned today but all in general, the Shetland way of life having strong heritage links with the sea that surrounds it.

The Sleet Grave (A Poem)

The boy came back today

From class 402

His torso strolled through the doorway

Hands climbed through

The walls to the ceiling

And his legs tripped over themselves

Reaching the teacher’s desk in tangles

They gripped onto the wood as our teacher began to faint

The funeral home buried him on Saturday

Just like that,

A figure full of fire, masked in flesh,

Had transformed,

Disfigured, Until all that remained,

Was a old slab of sleet;

It marked his overgrown resting place

Sleet began to rain too

Sleet turned into hail,

Just as the boy began to stitch himself up

Against the mournful grey of the sky

Eyes azure blue

A portrait of things once known

He strolls, he trips, he whistles

Imagines a time on the picnic checks,

Another on the mossbank;

The final time, his legs perked up

Like a bird’s,

Like a praying mantis;

Together on the teacher’s desk

The snapshot of his life had been made complete

Technicolor restored

Azure blue to hellfire red

The teacher, realising what was to come,

Played dead on our classroom floor

The boy made out of moss

And sleet and concrete

Snatched her up in vengeful arms

And with a last glance to the rest;

Sorry, tired, spent;

He threw himself off of the third floor

Exit stage left
