15 Questions

Thank you for tagging me in this @f1-birb

1. Are you named after anyone?

My middle name is my Grandmother's name, but if fictional characters count then my first name is also after someone. It's a character from a book by a classical author my Mam loves

2. When was the last time you cried?

Um, Sunday night/Monday morning while reading a AFTG fic that made me very sad and then very mad.

3. Do you have kids?

Unless you count my cat, then no. I do not have kids, but maybe someday

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

I used to play Gaelic football, football, tag rugby and I ran cross country but not for long or very seriously?

However I did swim competitively until my late teens. I was on my town's swim team and won a good few medals for induvial and relay races. I have some County and National medals for my Butterfly stroke but I quit when it stopped being fun, I had my LC coming up and I did damage to my shoulder

5. Do you use sarcasm?

The day I don't use sarcasm is the day I die

6. What is the first thing you notice about people?

Hmmm, their eyes and smile? Maybe their shoulders too

7. What is your eye colour?

I have very green eyes, like proper green eyes. The kind they stereotype us Irish with sometimes 😂

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

I do love a happy ending but I love horror movies more. I live and breath them. I love all the different genre's of horror except maybe gore. I'm actually planning a Scream re-watch soon even if the third movie is crap

9. Any talents?

I can sing somewhat well? I play the piano and have since I was eight but I wouldn't say I'm talented at it. I'm better at teaching it because I am not a very technical player, I am more musically inclined which makes some pieces a dick to play.

Is being annoying a talent? I'm sure my friends would argue that as well as being clumsy as one of my talents

10. Where were you born?

In a county that I didn't and have never lived in in Ireland because our local hospital was shit the year I was born (newsflash: it's still shit)

11. What are your hobbies?

I read a lot and across a lot of genres. I love a good documentary. I love writing, even it doesn't love me. I love going for walks and going swimming. I see travelling as a hobby, but by that I mean even going to a town I haven't been too back home and just wandering (I'm broke and don't have much money for international travel beyond doing so for my research).

I enjoy cross-stitching!

I adore baking and am very sad that I don't have an oven in my little flat over here in Czechia.

12. Do you have any pets?

I do! Currently I have two cats that can be considered family pets although one is purely mine and I pay for him.

There's my sisters cat Echo who is pure black and looks like Toothless with her ears back, and there is my absolute disaster of a cat, Oliver, who is white and ginger and the dumbest creature to ever grace this Earth and purrs like a tractor

13. How tall are you?

On a good day? 5'4

14. Favorite subject at school?

English and History were always my favourite subjects. I could never choose between the two. I loved reading and literature and poetry and picking things apart until they made sense.

The same with History. I loved following sources to find the truth or the best interpretation of the truth through various documents and existing literature. I like giving a voice back to moments forgotten or that haven't gotten the attention they deserve which is why I decided to make a career out of it (if possible)

15. Dream job?

I would love to be an author, but I don't have that type of talent or perseverance.

I will happily settle and aim to be a proper Historian

Time to tag some more fun people to answer these! Off to the usual suspects @princelancey, @wolfsbanesbite, @faerieroyal

"#just because you have a bias about certain socioeconomic groups which tend to listen to country doesn't mean" // Yup. I tend to side-eye folks who are like "I like all kinds of music except country and [Insert a genre of music usually associated with Black creators like rap and hip hop]" You're not slick, ppl. I know what you're saying.

^^^^^^^^^ You hit the nail on the head.

It’s racial bias. It’s socioeconomic bias. It’s bias against people groups who have less respect and say in society.

From my tags on this post:

#don’t get me started on a long rant of the progressive side of country music and what’s been progressive FOR DECADES#from times near its BEGINNInGS#through the modern age#just because you have a bias about certain socioeconomic groups which tend to listen to country doesn’t mean#that that’s actually what the genre is or who the artists are#I could go for a LONNNNG time about this#a LONG time#some of the best protest songs I know of today’s current political situation#are country#or have like ya’ll forgotten about the folk revival#of the 1960s#or…#gahghfnfddhgnghfngh#I AM GAY AND I LISTEN TO COUNTRY#NYEH!!!!

Now. I understand disinterest in a genre because it’s not your aesthetic, but when people express their feelings for country, R&B, hip-hop, etc. …the dialogue isn’t casual “It’s not my thing.” The dialogue is a hateful, passionate retaliation.

Other genres aren’t treated like this. It’s normalized and encouraged to hate on country and rap. These genres are systematically treated with less respect and that disrespect culturally arose because these genres are associated with less-respected demographics.

(Country music is associated with people of low socioeconomic status, for people who aren’t explicitly aware.)

Anecdotally: I’ve caught something interesting about anti-country music sentiment. Many people tell me they can’t stand the “twang.” Half the time, I’ve noticed that their internalized definition of “twang” isn’t the vocal technique; it’s that they can’t stand the presence of a Southern accent. And hooboy does that have TONS of sociocultural bias issues. As a linguist, I’ve read endless sociolinguistic studies about how Southern dialects are treated as “lesser,” and how speakers of the dialect are automatically judged to be less intelligent, etc. It’s not good, folks.

Sometimes, to help friends get out of their anti-country mindset, I’ve “tricked” them into liking country. See, genres like bluegrass grew closely out of Scots-Irish folk music. Often, we’re playing the same tunes on both sides of the Atlantic. So I play a few instrumentals, my friend goes, “Oh! I love Celtic music

The biases against those demographics color how people view the music. There’s endless things that can be said about hip-hop bias, holy shit. I won’t focus on that today because I don’t believe I am qualified to be a spokesman. Someone who understands that genre better, and other genres associated with the African-American community, and is African-American, would be a better human to listen to than me. I defer to their knowledge and experience. It’s hella important to understand what bias has been reflected against those genres.

But there’s just as much bias against country music, against another demographic. And I’ve found it wild how it gets treated on places like tumblr, which wants to stand up for underprivileged groups, but somewhat inaccurately associates country music as “anti-gay conservative evil white person music” rather than music of people historically of lower socioeconomic status.

Yes, some of the demographic that listens to country music or plays country music are bad apples. But like… thinking the music is JUST THAT is a huge disservice to what country actually is and who the music artists actually are.

The history of country music is one giant collaborative melting pot of people from many different cultural backgrounds. Broad West African influence. Mexican influence. Italian influence. German influence. Scots-Irish influence. Cherokee influence. More. Early record labels like OKEH foolishly separated “hillbilly music” (presumably white folk music) from “rhythm and blues” (presumably Black folk music) without understanding the constant racial, demographic, regional, and cultural cross-pollination that occurred between the musicians from country music’s origins. And while there ARE certain issues in country music’s past and present, and we can’t let those issues go forgotten, that’s far from the whole story. We shouldn’t romanticize issues, but we should acknowledge that this music genre has given us major strides too.

Country music is the banjo, brought from Africa, combined with the mandolin, brought from Italy, combined with the fiddle, brought from Ireland, combined with the guitar and the dobro and the accordion and the upright bass and the electric guitar and the electric bass and whatever instruments you want to put in there.

Country music is African-American musicians like DeFord Bailey, the first radio star ever introduced on the Grand Ole Opry (THE most revered country music hub out there), blues harmonica performer, playing to crowds decades before segregation was de-legalized. He toured with white Opry musicians who treated him as one of their own. It’s soul music genre pioneer Ray Charles producing a studio album entirely dedicated to country music hits like “Hey Good Lookin’” from Hank Williams. It’s country star Charley Pride, who despite the racism against him in the 1960s rose to fame and made audiences fall in love with his beautiful voice. It’s the African-American musicians who inspired many commercial country stars, like Arnold Shultz influencing Bill Monroe and the railroad workers inspiring Jimmie Rodgers.

Country music is stars like Johnny Rodriguez and Rick Treviño, singing country music in Spanish, and using obvious Latin flavors in the genre.

Country music is filled with badass women like the ladies who STARTED THE GENRE ROLLING IN THE FIRST PLACE, Sara Carter and Mother Maybelle Carter (whose guitar style is hugely influential to this day) and Maybelle’s daughters Helen, June, and Anita; the first female music manager in the music industry, Louise Scruggs; songwriters like Felice Bryant and Loretta Lynn; the most awarded female artist in Grammy history Alison Krauss; and powerhouses like Dolly Parton who stepped out of an over-controlling entertainer’s shadow to become a badass in all things like supporting the LGBTQ community, contributing to pro-transgender films ahead of their time, and starring in sex worker positive productions like “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.”

Country music is filled with activism. Johnny Cash showed a heart for those forgotten by society. He toured many times in prisons. Cash especially was an activist for Native American rights. He toured with Native American songwriters so audiences could hear their own words (I’ve been trying to find names but I’m having difficulties re-finding that information, so my apologies for not giving names of those who deserve to be mentioned). Cash released albums dedicated to exposing past and present injustices against the Native American people. He went on tours specifically to Native American reservations.

And it’s not just Johnny Cash!

Country music is many stars from the Grand Ole Opry banding together to release AIDS benefit albums - big names like Alison Krauss, Willie Nelson, Marty Stuart, aurgh I’m too lazy to write them all, PEOPLE.

Country music is Earl Scruggs and his sons playing at the Vietnam War Protests.

Country music is tied in with the fucking folk revival of the 1960s, which was deep in left-wing activism and the Civil Rights Movement. Folk singers sang traditional Appalachian and English ballads alongside their own compositions, topical pieces protesting the current political situation. You can call one artist “folk” or “Americana” and another one “country,” but the influences were intermingling, and it’s why we have Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez and John Denver and Pete Seeger owning a banjo that says, “This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.”

Dammit, I have a full BOOK that discusses country music and political ties.

There’s another book out there, which I haven’t read, that discusses the relationship between country music and the queer community, and how bias against country music is NOT as reflective of the listening demographic as we stereotype. I’ll take the word of one reviewer who said:

[Nadine Hubbs] explores country music lyrics, presenting a great deal of evidence suggesting that working class America is not inherently homophobic, but that as middle class cultural taste has changed to include formal acceptance of homosexuality, this process has included pinning homophobic ideas on the working class.

Country music is lyrics like this 1975 controversial song “The Pill”:

You wined me and dined meWhen I was your girlPromised if I’d be your wifeYou’d show me the worldBut all I’ve seen of this old worldIs a bed and a doctor billI’m tearing down your brooder house‘Cause now I’ve got the pillAll these years I’ve stayed at homeWhile you had all your funAnd every year that’s gone byAnother baby’s comeThere’s a-gonna be some changes madeRight here on nursery hillYou’ve set this chicken your last time‘Cause now I’ve got the pill

Country music is lyrics like this 2013 song that feels as relevant than ever:

If crooks are in charge, should we let them pick our pockets?If we don’t want trouble, should we not try to stop it?We could just sink into the quicksand slavery we’re born inBut fighting endless wars for greedy liars is getting pretty boringThey think they got us trained, so we’ll think we’re living freeIf we got time and money for junk food and TVBut it’s plain honest people never stand a chance of winning electionsThey just let us pick which liars take our rights away for our own protectionThe corporate propaganda paralyzes us with fearDestroying our ability to trustFear keeps us fighting with each other over scrapsStarving to death in the dustOrganized religion really helps you submitBut the meek are inheriting the short end of the stickFear surrounds compassion like a layer of moldAnd weakens our defenses so we’re too weak to be boldLife could be heaven, but this corrupted systemTakes away our rights, expects us not to miss themThe middle class is shrinking while the lower class growsIf we don’t wake up soon, we’ll have no class left to lose

Country music is Christians themselves criticizing the hypocritical Evangelical culture in the USA for the bullshit hatefulness stewing inside it:

Every house has got a Bible and a loaded gunWe got preachers and politicians‘Round here it’s kinda hard to tell which oneIs gonna do more talkin’ with a crooked tongue

And as that one post I just reblogged shows, there’s MANY queer country musicians out there producing explicitly pro-LGBTQ+ music.

I’m brushing over so much. I’m sorry for the simplification that goes with me doing such a pass-by overview. I’m sorry I’m focusing more on history than the present (I know more about the 1920s-1960s eras, so I’m talking from my strong suit). I hope the information is at least strong enough to get my point across.

There are definitely listeners and artists in country music who are uber-conservative white hateful Christians. Yes. I know why country music gets associated with that. But.

Country music is not ABOUT this uber-conservative white hateful Christian side. The genre is not “polluted”. It is a thousand voices from a thousand perspectives of people from many backgrounds and beliefs. And many of those thousand voices are old traditional songs that came from Black communities, or were composed by Mexican-Americans, or were performed by folk artists as part of a protest for equal rights.

(Note: I’m *NOT* saying all Christians are bad or that different political angles don’t have merits. I’m Christian myself! And you don’t know my political party. I’m just trying to get the point across that country music isn’t ENTRENCHED in one questionable demographic.)

You don’t have to like country music. It doesn’t have to be your aesthetic. But if you find it fun to get in on society’s popular country hate roasting… please rethink this. The reason country music has been hated from its roots is because it’s associated with the socioeconomically disadvantaged.

I’m with you 100%, Ashley. When someone says they like all genres “except country music and rap,” I get a little leery. I used to be one of those people when I was younger. I had to learn to grow past those biases. But once I did, I realized there was so much I was hating on that I didn’t understand. Now, I hope I can help people overcome their own biases, such as ones they don’t realize they’ve had - for things like music.

Hi ya’lls. I’m queer and I love country.

P.S. If anyone has anything to add or correct, please feel free to add on! I’m doing my best but I do not know everything and would be happy to learn more, too!

Superheroes with Secrets: Sick for one reason or another (Fic part 19) (Set in 2001)

Around 2000 Words. 18+ in places.

Tags: @piratewithvigor please inform me if you wish to be tagged/untagged from posts

‘Giantess’ Kirby Roussimoff x Shane ‘Hurricane’ Helms (Circa 2001)

Reference Posts: Shane ‘Hurricane’ Helms

Kirby 'The Blacklight Bandit’ Roussimoff

Notes: The story is set in 2001, which would make Helms 27 and Kirby 31. This story also blends Kayfabe and Reality. Certain people speak in different colours, Mainly: Helms is Green. Kirby is Orange. Kane is Red. Undertaker is Purple. Big Show is Blue.

Other members of the BSK are also in purple.

Other women are in pink.

"Weed?"

"Helms, what was the thing you freaked out over? Fucking con-domssss. Do you get where I'm going with this now?"

"Oh shit, you found some that fast?"

"Wasn't that hard, to be honest."

"Unlike me earlier." He grins.

Kirby laughs, "exactly."

"I appreciate it sweetheart, thank you."

"I didn't want you freaking out or unable to find one if you needed one." Kirby murmurs, blushing pink.

"I'll probably be more okay with time. Definitely by the time we get married."

"God, that's gonna be the third time I have my name changed."

"Doesn't have to be. If you don’t want to."

"I want to, sure it's weird to think about, but I want to have the same surname as my husband."

"And I want to have the same surname as my wife. I just know that your family means more to you than mine does and maybe you'd rather I change my name." He offers simply.

"I only want you to change your name if you want to. If I change mine I will have been born, Kirby Andrea Trevor, then become Kirby Andrea Roussimoff and then married you and become, Kirby Andrea Helms."

"The Helms family I knew isn't deserving of having Kirby Andrea carry the name. You're so much better than them."

"If you want to be a Roussimoff, I won't stop you."

"I do. My surname is the last tie I have to them. I want it severed."

"So, you would like to go from Shane Helms to Shane Roussimoff?"

"I do."

"So, the future Mister Shane Roussimoff, how about we turn on the radio and chill as we drive to St Louis?"

"It'd be my pleasure, the future Mrs. Kirby Roussimoff."

Kirby smiles as she turns on the radio, the first song they hear is 'But Anyway' by Blues Traveler.

"So, Hero, ask me anything you want to know."

"What do you remember about your birth parents? Were they nice?"

"From the tapes I've seen of them, my dad worked part time as a wrestler, looked like a non-giant version of André too. My mother taught me a lot of the basics, how to talk, walk, everything. She even taught me some Irish, Scottish and Welsh."

"They sound like good people."

"I am confused by my genetics though. My father had black hair and blue eyes, my mother had ginger hair and brown eyes, how the hell am I blonde?"

"Gingers and blondes are pretty interchangeable. Recessive genes and all that."

"How do you know that?" Kirby questions, cocking an eyebrow in confusion.

"High school biology class. I liked that unit, but it wasn't quite as much fun as the natural selection unit." He shrugs.

"I think I must have missed some lessons, I liked science but mathematics was always my best class."

"Numbers have their moments. Probably would have liked it better if it had more real-world applications."

"I always thought that too, but moving on, anything else you want to know about me?"

"What was Japan like? I've never been."

"Everything was smaller than me. Every single door was smaller than me. It was cool, training under Giant Baba was cool, but, I hit my head so many times that I developed that thing I do where I duck through every single door."

"I did notice you always duck a lot lower than the doorway goes."

"I'm six-foot-ten and have twice knocked myself out by hitting my head on door frames."

"Jesus, twice?"

Kirby nods, finding herself unable to look at Helms due to her shame at her history of injuries.

"I mean, I'm no stranger to knocking myself out, but I've never accomplished it with a doorframe yet. Doors themselves is a different story. Also managed it with the use of an axe, a fridge, and twice with a dog and a tree."

"What ... how .... huh?"

"Doors that open in a different way than I expect have gotten me on my ass a few times, but only knocked me out fully once. The axe was when I was splitting wood and the log came back the wrong way, so I guess it was with a log. The fridge was because it was stupid humid and the fridge was really cold and the suction wouldn't let the door open, so I hit myself in the head when I finally yanked it. The last one is cause it was my job to walk the dog growing up, but if it was too hot, I would bike alongside him instead to make it go faster. On two occasions, he ran one way around a tree when I biked the other way and we got wrapped around and I fell off my bike."

"Oh... uhh... this may be a weird thing to say after all of that, but ... I've never had a dog ... or any pets really..."

"Well, you travelled a lot. It wouldn't exactly be right to have one around if you were never home. Just like how I haven't had one since becoming a wrestler."

"You probably had a closer to 'normal' life before becoming a wrestler, didn't you?"

"I suppose comparatively. First 16 years were pretty normal."

"I ... I don't think I've ever had a 'normal' life. When I was eight my parents died and then I was adopted by André. When I was ten I fell off a ladder and hit a rock so hard it created the X-shaped scar on my left eyebrow. When I was fifteen, I was six feet tall. I started working in Japan at sixteen. I was stabbed in the right thigh at eighteen. I had my top lip split open when I was twenty one, hence that scar. I came back to America at twenty three and started wrestling for the WWF. That same year I had a brawl with someone in a bar, that ended with me getting the scars on my other eyebrow. I got my first tattoo at eighteen and kept getting them after that, not caring about the pain, I just wanted to have memories inked on my flesh."

"At least your injuries came from logical sources and not human stupidity like mine."

"Helms, stop the car, pull in at the next truck stop or something, please?"

"Of course. You okay?"

"I think I'm gonna be sick." Kirby murmurs.

"Oh god..." He guns the gas a little extra and makes it to the next truck stop, parking quickly.

Kirby rushes out of the car and throws up in the nearest trash can.

He follows slowly and rubs gentle circles on her back. "That's-a girl. Get it all out..." He murmurs.

"Fuck" Kirby mutters, her breathing heavy and ragged.

"How long have you been feeling like that?" He whispers.

"The last ten minutes." Kirby murmurs.

"Want me to get you some water?"

Kirby nods, trying to calm her breathing. He dashes back to the car for a bottle of water and brings it back, handing it to his girl.

Kirby takes a swig, swishing it around her mouth and gargling it before spitting into the trash can, "fuck..." she whispers, wiping tears from her eyes and saliva from around her mouth.

"Suppose I should have asked if you have a tendency to get road sick."

"That's the thing, I don't get road sick. I've never done that before, ever."

"You've only had toast and coffee this morning... I'd suspect the bread might have been bad, but it looked fine to me."

"I have no idea, I don't feel sick. Sure the past ten minutes I felt sick, now, nothing. A little lightheaded but, that's all."

"Think you feel up to eating something else? I mean, we're here and everything and I know it isn't going to be a lot better than our road snacks, but I'd still feel better if I knew you had some kind of real food in there."

"Sure, anything, I don't care what we have, but anything's better than nothing."

"Eggs are gonna keep you fullest the longest. And I've never known a truck stop to fuck up eggs. Think you lose the name on the sign if you do."

Kirby smiles a little, her skin still a little paler than usual and a little colder but she's trying her hardest to keep composed. Helms keeps a hold of her hand as he leads her inside, freaking out quietly, but refusing to show it outwardly. The sudden illness is ringing alarms in his head, but he's trying to dismiss them as quickly as possible. This can't be morning sickness; Kirby can't be pregnant yet. It'd only been a few days since they had first started boning. Pregnancy symptoms didn't happen so fast. The couple enter a small café, Helms getting Kirby a plate of eggs on toast and paying for it before she can protest to him paying. It's his turn to just have toast and a beverage. Apple juice and buttered toast, just to pass the time while she eats and he can watch her intently.

Kirby slowly gets through the meal, pausing to burp before speaking, "Je-Zus... sorry about doing that, I don't know why that happened."

"As long as you're not dying, don't worry about it. And thank you for humouring me through this meal."

Kirby looks away from him, not wanting to look him in the eye when she feels so ashamed of herself, "Helms ... I... I... ugh, I don't know how to say this without it sounding stupid but, I haven't been sick since high school, and that was because I got in a fight and got kicked in the stomach like a million times."

"Do you want to call ahead to St. Louis and set up an appointment with the company doctor?"

"Yes ... please" Kirby whispers.

"Finish up here, I'll go make the call."

Kirby continues to eat, feeling like she's going insane or something close to insanity. Helms calls Vince outside. He relates how he really hopes it's just some kind of bug or food poisoning, but wants to double-check just in case. Vince agrees to get them set up with the physician for a quick examination when they arrive. When Helms comes back to her, Kirby is finished with her food and all but certain that she's being stared at.

Helms sits down beside her instead of across the table, pulling her into a gentle side-hug. "We've got about 6 more hours to St. Louis. The doctor's gonna be waiting when we get there. How're you feeling?" His intentions are to make her pay attention to him only and not whoever may be staring.

"I feel like my head is spinning." Kirby whispers.

"Gonna hurl again or just woozy from dehydration?"

"Dehydration" Kirby whispers.

"Get yourself some more water."

Kirby shows him the empty bottle, "there's a couple more bottles in the car"

"Get down as many as you can."

Helms gets up and helps Kirby back to the car, watching her for a couple minutes as she drinks another full bottle of water before opening a third bottle.

"Think you'll be good for a few hours?"

Kirby nods, before drinking more water.

"Good girl." He murmurs, starting up the car.

Helms gets them back on the road and Kirby pulls her sketchbook out to flip through and find an empty page. It's a mostly silent, very peaceful drive as the go through the fields of the Midwest to Missouri. Kirby starts sketching out another portrait, occasionally drinking water.

"About an hour left to go. How're you doing?" Helms asks, sneaking a glance over at her.

Kirby's nearly finished a portrait of Helms, a full body nude portrait of Helms, and is drinking their final bottle of water.

Catching a glimpse of her page, he starts blushing deeply. "Looks good." He manages to squeak out.

"Hmm?" Kirby notices how red Helms has gone and immediately covers the portrait with her arms, "you weren't supposed to see it." Kirby whispers.
