#Neile Winthrope

[starweavingwritings]

An Exchange Among Friends

“I’d like to formally accept your offer to purchase the estate,” Saedre said, her hands neatly clasped on her knee as she spoke to the human woman seated across the table. Though Neile kept her hair short, she and the late Koira Winthrope were nearly the spitting image of each other, and the resemblance brought a small smile to the highborne’s lips; a quiet echo of her friend’s memory. “I’ve considered it thoroughly, and I believe it would serve me well as a private residence despite the memories.”

Tucking a strand of black hair behind her ear, Neile grinned as she slid the necessary documents across the table. Already prepared and hopeful. “Fantastic! Well, you’re already familiar with the paperwork. After all, you were entrusted with the estate once before when it was the headquarters of the Violet Bastion, even if you returned it to me. This time, I’d prefer it not come back. It will be yours, and yours alone. I think my sister would be happy with that. She always trusted you just as I do.”

Observing the paperwork already prepped and ready to be given to her, Saedre couldn’t help but chuckle, a silvery gaze falling back upon Neile momentarily as Aveem began to rifle through the paperwork like a good little helper, “It seems like you already knew my answer or you were just that eager to wash your hands of these grounds.”

Settling back against her chair, Neile’s bright blue eyes shifted upward towards the ceiling with a sigh. “I suppose I am a little too eager to see it off in all honesty,” she gestured vaguely. “It is not that I do not have good memories here as well, but it really doesn’t serve me in a functional way. It’s too big and costly to maintain. Too drafty in the winter on one wing. Too hot in the summers on the other. And to be quite frank, I’ve been needing to downsize for years and well… not here.”

“So, where will you call home then, Lady Winthrope?” Saedre tilted her head to the side curiously as Aveem began to hand off each page that needed to be signed off on. Her eyes shifted downward, reviewing but not doing too much as her familiar could certainly be trusted to have done it diligently for her. Taking the pen offered to her by Aveem, she looked to Neile briefly ever so often in wait for her answer to that question. 

“Boralus,” Neile grinned, her eyes alit with an adventure yet to be played out with full on zest for what awaited her. Her mind was made up. The tone she gave was firm. Quick. And just right to it. “I’m getting married actually.”

Saedre blinked. Once. Twice. The surprise wasn’t even half of it. Her mind scrambled to catch up with the words she’d just heard, but they echoed like static. Of all people, Neile was the last person she thought might actually settle down one day as wild as the oats that she was still sowing. 

For a moment, the sorceress sat there in stunned silence. Then came the laughter. Bright and unapologetic. Neile’s grin spread across her sunkissed face, carefree and defiant. “Look,” she said, leaning in like she was confessing a crime, “Don’t tell anyone. It’s not going to be this grand spectacle. I wasn’t even going to say anything until after we tied the knot.”

“Well, congratulations are in order nonetheless,” Saedre finally responded, her head dipped respectfully towards her. She couldn’t help but ask, a little confused, “So you are settling down finally and you are selling off your estate? You do not wish to start your family here on the grounds you grew up on?”

Shaking her head firmly, Neile wagged a finger at the elven woman, “Believe me. I am firm on this offer, Saedre. These grounds are far too large as it is and Lily nor I are looking to adopt children any time soon or ever. In fact, she and I are far more suited for her homeland where we can escape to the seas whenever we wish. It is settled already, so please do not back out of this offer out of fear I might regret this because I won’t.”

Saedre studied Neile for a long moment. That gaze, sharp and dissecting; the kind that made people squirm under its weight. The sorceress had a way of looking at someone like she was rifling through their memories, flipping through the messy bits and secrets one hadn’t even admitted to themself.

Neile squinted back at her, expression guarded. She only seemed to relax once Saedre returned her attention to the paperwork, pen scratching across the final signature line.

“Very well,” Saedre said, voice clipped but calm. “I will honor my end of this.” But then she paused, allowing herself a small sigh, almost amused, “A large home for Aveem and myself seems quite much as it is, too, you know?”

Neile gestured around them with a soft laugh, “You and Aveem could do far better things here than I could. Think of all the libraries you could have all to yourself. House your relics you like to study. The spells you enjoy cataloguing and expanding on and…”

The human woman fell silent a moment, a shit-eating grin cresting her lips as she leaned forward again and rested her chin on the palm of her hand and said, “Besides, you may wish to settle down some day. You’ve always been a bit of a romantic ever since I’ve known you. Hide it outwardly all you like, but I’ve seen your secret collection of books.”

Neile let the words hang for a second before she continued on, “And the way you and Mason carried on around here those years ago. Even when you thought no one was looking, the way you looked at each other. A shame you two couldn’t figure it out in the end.”

The pen slipped from Saedre’s fingers and clattered to the floor, but Aveem was quick to pick it up. Her cheeks flushed. She was used to bluntness, used to honesty that never ducked or danced where Neile was concerned. If nothing else, she was direct. She never sugar-coated anything and it was something Saedre actually liked about her.

Clearing her throat, the sorceress glanced up, startled by the truth laid bare between them. “He’ll figure it out someday with someone, Neile. And when he does, I’ll be nothing but happy for him.”

“Okay, but that doesn’t let you off the hook entirely.” Neile smiled, gently this time, her tone softer, less jarringly blunt than before as she rapped her fingernails against the desk. “You’ll want that for yourself someday, surely. And this place…” She looked around. “It wouldn’t be the worst spot for something like that.”

Her gaze met Saedre’s. “You deserve to be happy too, you know?

Saedre couldn’t agree to that. Not yet. Not when the idea of settling down truly finally meant letting go of the family she once had. The ones who were gone. To move forward would be to admit they were never coming back. And she knew that. She’d always known. Death was final. There was no returning from it. How she knew she grasped onto the ghosts of their memory in vain. 

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to keep going on like that,” Neile breathed out, a little annoyed at herself for how bold she had been with her words. She meant well but she knew no matter how well she meant it, it didn’t hide the fact that that was such a painful subject to bring up to Saedre and so she did her best to change the direction of the conversation quickly. 

“So, when I get all settled in, I’d love for you to come visit. You should meet Lily too. I’ve told her a lot about you and I know she’s eager to pick the brain of one such as yourself. Honestly, she’s a bit of a bookworm too.”

It was a welcome change of topic. One where Saedre sighed softly under her breath in relief. Finishing up the paperwork, she handed it to Aveem who triple checked everything before he’d slide it back onto the desk for Neile to stamp off on it. As the conversation flowed less awkwardly between the two old friends, Aveem peered about the room already wondering what great plans awaited. He loved the grounds of the Raven’s Nest in Duskwood, but this… this was more familiar to him. The first real home he and Saedre shared since joining the rest of the world. Darnassus never felt comfortable and Dalaran was a bit too cramped. And to speak of Feralas was to speak of a past that was better off buried where it was. 

Soon, new fun could begin. He wondered how Saedre might junction it between the Raven’s Nest and the estate grounds out here. They were not terribly far from one another as it was. So many possibilities awaited!

"Why Be Good?" centers on the life of Pert Kelly (played by Colleen Moore), a vivacious department store clerk who spends her nights dancing away in jazz clubs. By day, she is a competent and diligent worker, but by night, she embodies the free-spirited independence of the Jazz Age youth. The plot thickens when Pert catches the eye of Winthrop Peabody Jr. (Neil Hamilton), the son of the department store’s owner. Their burgeoning romance is put to the test when Winthrop's father demands that his son marries a 'moral' woman, prompting an investigation into Pert’s nightlife to determine her suitability as a wife. The film explores themes of personal freedom, the clash between hedonism and traditional values, and the pursuit of happiness in the face of societal expectations. Meet the Characters that ask Why Be Good?William A. Seiter as a directorThe social commentary of ProhibitionSome Final ThoughtsLet's talk about that Why Be Good Warner Archive Blu-ray?Buy Why Be Good at MovieZyng! Meet the Characters that ask Why Be Good? Colleen Moore shines brightly as Pert Kelly, bringing a blend of charisma, warmth, and depth to her character. Moore's Pert Kelly is not just a symbol of the modern woman but also a deeply relatable character whose desires and challenges resonate with the audience. Her performance skillfully balances the exuberance of her nightlife with her serious, moral core, challenging the era's stereotypes about the morality of flapper girls. Neil Hamilton as Winthrop Peabody Jr. provides a suitable counterpart to Moore’s vibrant Pert. His portrayal reflects the conflict of a young man caught between his personal desires and his duties to family and business. The chemistry between Moore and Hamilton is palpable and lends credibility to their on-screen romance, making the stakes of their societal challenges feel genuinely significant. William A. Seiter as a director William A. Seiter’s direction in "Why Be Good?" adeptly captures the spirit of the Jazz Age. Seiter employs a dynamic use of montage to juxtapose the daytime world of work and the nighttime revelries, illustrating the dual lives led by many young people of the era. His direction highlights the vitality of the jazz clubs with fast-paced editing and close-ups that capture the emotions of his characters amidst the chaos of their celebrations. The film's use of Vitaphone technology for its soundtrack was revolutionary at the time, making "Why Be Good?" one of the early examples of movies where the sound is used effectively to enhance the viewing experience. The jazz soundtrack is not merely background music but an integral part of the narrative, reflecting the emotional dynamics and tensions within the story. The social commentary of Prohibition "Why Be Good?" is rife with social commentary, much of it revolving around the generational tensions of the 1920s. The film addresses the moral panic about the younger generation’s perceived immorality, questioning the fairness and validity of these concerns through Pert’s character, who is both a 'good girl' and a 'flapper.' Furthermore, the film explores the concept of 'respectability' and its impact on women's freedom. Pert's struggle to reconcile her love for nightlife with the need to conform to societal expectations for her romance speaks volumes about the pressures faced by women during this era. Some Final Thoughts "Why Be Good?" remains a delightful and insightful film that not only entertains but also provides a window into the societal changes of the late 1920s. Colleen Moore’s performance, combined with effective direction and a lively soundtrack, makes this film a captivating watch. It eloquently captures the clash between traditional values and the new morality of the Jazz Age, making it a valuable piece of cinematic history for both its historical content and its engaging narrative. Let's talk about that Why Be Good Warner Archive Blu-ray? Why Be Good arrives as part of this Silent Film Double Feature from Warner Archive. It's a new offering with a clean 1080p transfer and DTS-HD mono mix that impressed me. However, modern audiences worry me with what they will accept and what they won't watch freely. So, I guess this belongs to the academic and collector markets. There are no special features, but I'd be stunned if we got any. That being said, the fact that we're getting restored and saved silent films to physical media is a godsend in 2024. Keep it up, Warner Archive. Buy Why Be Good at MovieZyng!

King Richard III (Richard III)

A king who is a dominant tyrant but loves his queen

King Arthur (Camelot)

A king who isn’t a dominant tyrant and loves his queen + sing

Weird History Wednesday: UFO Encounters in American History (Part 1)👽

In honor of the former Space Security Chief for Israel possibly spilling the beans on the existence of aliens, here’s a few of my favorite American UFO encounters from multiple eras of history:

1. The Berkshires UFO incident (1969)

On September 1, 1969, multiple residents of Berkshire county Massachusetts experienced simultaneous UFO encounters from different areas of the county. The experiences ranged from seeing strange crafts and lights in the sky to full on ‘abductions’. It sticks out to me particularly because of how many people reported almost the exact same bizarre instances, despite being strangers living in separate towns. For example, resident Tom Warner was 10 at the time, and describes noticing a craft hovering above his backyard, which then targeted him with a beam of light. He then remembers being in a strange room filled with children, some of which he recognized. This experience is corroborated by another resident Melanie Kirchdorfer, who told a story of a similar encounter, and who did not know Tom at the time (they later became close friends). Other residents encountered blinding lights while driving down local highways, followed by the appearance of a strange silver craft that would hover above or around their car, sometimes also targeting it with a beam of light. Almost all witnesses report having missing time that they can’t account for, and all stand by their encounter stories to this day.

2. The First American UFO Sighting (1639)

The first documented sighting of an unidentified flying object was recorded by John Winthrop in 1639 after hearing the story from a local resident of Boston. In the story, the man describes rowing a boat up the Muddy River when he saw an odd light in the sky. According to his description, the light smoothly moved in various directions, mostly up and down, and also shifted shapes several times as he watched it (he describes at one point it taking the shape of a pig). The man and his crew say they were transfixed for a few hours while the object moved in the sky, and when it finally disappeared over the horizon, the boat had somehow been delivered a mile away upstream. No members of the crew recall seeing or feeling the boat move in any way.

3. The Newtown Lights (1987)

On May 26, 1987, over 200 residents of and around Newton, Connecticut called the police regarding a large, unexplained light formation they saw in the sky. The lights were said to be multicolored and in a large semicircle pattern, larger than a football field. Residents remember seeing lines of cars line up on the side of the highways so they could stop and observe them. The lights remained around Newton from about 9:30pm to 10:15pm before disappearing, and minutes later, similar reports began being called in from the neighboring town of New Milford.

4. O’Hare International Airport Sighting (2006)

On November 7, 2006, a total of 12 United Airline employees, as well as a few witnesses outside the O’Hare airport, saw a gray, metallic saucer shaped figure hovering over the gate of a plane that was preparing to take off for North Carolina. According to witnesses, the strange object hovered for about 5 minutes before shooting up into the sky at an impossible speed, into a hole that broke into the clouds and immediately closed as the craft passed through. When federal officials were asked to investigate, they dismissed the event as a ‘weather phenomenon’.

5. Air Battle with An Orb (1948)

On October 1, 1948, veteran fighter pilot George F. Gorman was flying at high altitude over North Dakota, when he noticed a strange ball of light about 7-8 feet in diameter hovering around his aircraft. Gorman was so intrigued that he redirected his plane towards the object, but when he would approach it, it would swiftly change directions at what seemed like impossible speeds. In total, Gorman followed the object for about 27 minutes before it disappeared and he could no longer see it. When he reported the incident, he noted that he was certain there were intelligent motives behind the object’s maneuvers. He reported that the object made no sound and had not exhaust trail as it flew, and that despite reaching speeds of 400mph, it was impossible for him to keep up with the object.

5. A Flying ‘V’ Over Mt. Rainier (1947)

In June of 1947, civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold was flying near Mt. Rainier in Washington when he reported seeing 9 glowing objects floating in a ‘V’ formation above the mountain. He watched as they smoothly passed over it, later estimating that the crafts were flying at a speed of 1,200-1,700mph. When asked about the shape of the objects, Arnold described them as ‘saucer’ like, helping to coin the term ‘flying saucer’ that would later commonly be used to describe UFOs. Air Force investigators later dismissed his claims as a ‘mirage’, though many stated he was a credible witness.

The Modern Relevance of WHY BE GOOD? By Kim Luperi

“Why Be Good? when it’s so much more thrilling to be bad!”

So claimed a 1929 ad. But really, WHY BE GOOD? remains a million-dollar question, even 91 years later.

The film ranks among my all-time favorite discoveries of my 10 years attending the TCM Classic Film Festival. Not only was it a vibrant, relatable movie long feared lost, but the energy and reaction from the crowd was unlike any other theatrical experience for me; it’s rare to hear raucous applause, let alone multiple times, at a classic film screening, but that was the case at TCMFF 2015.

In WHY BE GOOD?, a young woman with the most apt name in film history, Pert (Colleen Moore), spends her evenings dancing and generally fitting the flapper stereotype to a ‘T’, but it’s really all for show; she’s a good girl at heart. However, when she falls for Winthrop (Neil Hamilton), one of her department store bosses, her reputation precedes her, and he puts Pert to the test to see where her morals really lie.

As we enter the 2020s (whether they’ll be just as roaring as the 1920s, we’ll have to reserve for hindsight), I wanted to revisit WHY BE GOOD? At its TCMFF screening, I reveled in the ways the movie felt incredibly modern. Despite the film arriving late in the silent flapper era, it still hits me as a progressive picture that took a page from its age and brilliantly examined timeless issues that young people still grapple with today, particularly gender and familial politics.

WHY BE GOOD? was praised by many for its relatable premise in 1929; it’s “a story that might have happened to almost any girl in a big city,” an Indiana newspaper declared. The same can be said for young, single women in 2020, who would likely be sympathetic to Pert’s good girl/bad girl dilemma, like the pressure to fit in, appear cool and suppress your true self. (The film’s original title, interestingly, was That’s a Bad Girl.) Ads for the picture hurled taglines such as, “If a girl stays out after midnight, she’s a runaround; if she doesn’t she’s a wallflower. If she kisses she’s loose; if she doesn’t she’s the loser.” 

Indeed, Pert’s rousing reprimand to Winthrop near the end of the picture when he tests her by taking her to the Stumble Inn, accurately captures the paradoxes women face in the dating world. “You men! You insist on a girl being just what you want – and then you bawl her for being it,” Pert protests. Sure, she and Winthrop end up hitched after her steady barrage, but title card after refreshing title card speak a truth just as spot on in 1929 as it is today. “Listen! I’m a good girl! And what I do and what I wear -- is because you fool men demand it!” Preach it, Pert.

Speaking of clothing, Pert gets into that debate with her father one evening. “-- And what’s more, no decent girl would wear a dress like that,” he warns her. “Well I’m wearing it -- and I’m decent!” is her grand reply. Pert also points out that she contributes just as much to the house as he does, so she should be able to wear and do what she wants. Despite that exchange, I found the parents in WHY BE GOOD? particularly genuine in their diverse approaches to child rearing. Pert’s father is overly protective, while her mother better understands and trusts their daughter. Winthrop’s dad speaks sensibly at times, but he too is looking out for his son, just a tad too much: He scares Winthrop into thinking Pert’s a bad girl based on what he sees on a dance floor. Modern technology has made parenting more complex, but similar age-old anxieties still prevail today.

In a 1929 interview, the two stars of the film intelligently touched upon parenting and female social mores during the 1920s. While the slang may be different, the struggles remain the same: “Is it any worse for a girl to call kissing ‘necking’ and admit she does it, than it was for her mother to call it ‘spooning’ and deny it?” Moore asked. In her opinion, strict parents who denounced makeup and dancing forced their daughters to rebel to prove their point. “If young flappers didn’t think they were being reckless and disobedient, the chances are they wouldn’t get as much fun out of their superficial sophistication.” Hamilton added his two cents: “It’s all in the point of view… Our parents probably scandalized our grandparents, and our kids will probably look back on us as a lot of old fogies.” Some sure do, Neil Hamilton, but WHY BE GOOD?’s point of view largely stands the test of time, even nearly a century later.

Lovecraft Country - yet another great book fucked up by being turned into a TV show!

- Rant ahead, be warned: Spoiler alert!

Bitch, I’m spitting fire, right now! So, I finally finished episode 2 of Lovecraft Country and I just need to know whose ass do I need to kick? 

Okay, so I know that if you’re going to turn a book into a movie or a TV show you have to take some creative license, but if you rewrite the whole damn thing just to put it on the screen then why not change the fucking name, slap some new shit in it and claim it to be an original project? Don’t gas me up and tell me it’s the TV show of a book I fucking love, you lying bastards, not without a disclaimer that this shit was fan-fucking-fiction!

HBO is singlehandedly doing to Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff, what Starz did to American Gods by Neil Gaiman, rewriting one of my favorite books for a piss-poor TV rendition! I’m used to everyone doing this shit with Stephen King’s work, but I won’t stand for this shit, HBO & Jordan Peele & that mark-ass J.J. Abrams (I don’t trust him)...not with this gem of a novel! I can’t sleep on that.

To start, who the fuck is Dee? Uncle George and Hippolyta have a 12-year-old SON named Horrace who writes comic books. Not a girl - but I’ll let that slide, cause girl power and all. But, what the hell do you mean that Hippolyta doesn’t travel and write for the Safe Negro Travel Guide? She has a MAJOR plotline later in the book in one of her travels! How the fuck is she supposed to do it, if this Uncle George won’t let her travel? Who the fuck was going to stop her? Not Uncle George’s bitch ass!

Then, since when is Ruby a singer? Ruby is a stuck up, goodie-two-shoes bitch, that’s about it. Who the fuck this is woman jamming on stage? And judging from what they’ve shown of her in the beginning I don’t see this Ruby taking the deal that she’s offered later in the book... 

When did Leticia get so hyper-sexualized? Leticia was a hard-working woman who had big dreams, but she wasn’t this vixen that they’ve made her out to be. Granted, she could hold her own and she didn’t take much shit, but this version? How Sway? When did Marvin (the brother) get cured of Polio? I’d really like to fucking know!

And that whole scene in the woods with the Sheriff - that’s NOT how that happened! OMG, I know what it’s like when you want to insert your vision into story canon when you’re writing fan fiction, but not on my watch HBO, you schmucks! I would leave it alone except they killed the fucking sheriff; so now he can’t come back.  

Um, Hello - Caller? Who the fuck is Christina Braithwhite? This bitch doesn’t exist! Samuel Braithwhite has a son, named CALEB BRAITHWHITE, who is the main antagonist! How you gonna write out the antagonist? And he’s a bad motherfucker! Is Caleb supposed to be Jordan Patrick Smith’s character or is he supposed to be the light-skinned butler that greets them when they get to the mansion, cause William doesn’t exist either? It would be kinda cool if Jordan was Caleb, I won’t lie, though. 

And while we’re at it, why didn’t Christina/fake Caleb tell Atticus (I don’t who the hell Tic is) tell them how to defeat Samuel? What happened to the really cool magic scene on the bridge? How & why did Leticia AND Uncle George gets shot? It was Pop that got shot, not them! And Uncle George dies? Get the fuck out of here! He plays an intricate role at the end of the book!  

OMG, HBO, Peele & Abrams you suck and you’re seriously chapping my ass here! What the fuck are you doing? It is only 2 episodes in and I’m already having a stroke on how much you have fucked up this book! At this point, just stop! Stop! Just take the wig off of Jordan and have him walk around with no shirt on and sit with Jurnee by the pool and let them give me gardening tips. That’s all the eye candy I need, not this foolishness and shenanigans that you’re doing a great piece of American literature!

I have to say the actors are making the most out of what they were given, but Jesus wept!

I might have 1 more episode in me before I completely give up on it. I need to see what they are going to do with the Winthrope story-line before I completely blow a gasket! I’m trying to stick it out to support Jordan, but they are fucking with my emotions here! I stopped watching American Gods for the same reason - they completely ruined a book a love. 

But, I will tell you this...if anyone EVER thinks about adapting Clive Barker’s The Abarat for the screen, they better run that shit by me first, or there’s gonna be smoke in the city...cause I’m fucking them up on sight! 

Thank you for joining my Ted Talk!

Thinking Through Interfaces, a syllabus

*That looks enlightening.

THINKING THROUGH INTERFACES

Co-taught by Zed Adams (Philosophy) and Shannon Mattern (Media Studies)

Tuesdays 4:00 - 5:50pm | 6 East 16th St #1003

Interfaces are everywhere and nowhere. They pervade our lives, mediating our interactions with one another, technology, and the world. But their very pervasiveness also makes them invisible. In this seminar, we expose the hidden lives of interfaces, illuminating not just what they are and how they work, but also how they shape our lives, for better and worse. We also discuss a number of pressing social and political issues, such as why we are quick to adopt some interfaces (e.g., smartphones and social media platforms), but reluctant to embrace others (e.g., new voting machines and Google Glass). 

(...)

RESOURCES

With a few exceptions, all readings will be made available on our class website, at http://www.wordsinspace.net/interfaces/2019/. We’ll provide everyone with a copy of Tom Mullaney’s The Chinese Typewriter and David Parisi’s Archaeologies of Touch.

SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS

WEEK 1: JANUARY 22: INTRODUCTIONS

What is an interface?

How are interfaces differentiated?

Can an interface become a part of our mind?

Do interfaces shape what we use them to do?

What are the limits of interfaces: what problems do they not help us solve?

WEEKS 2 AND 3: CONCEPTUALIZATION 

WEEK 2: JANUARY 29: CONCEPTUALIZATION I 

Nelson Goodman, “The Theory of Notation” (Chapter Four), Languages of Art (Hackett, 1976): 127-173.

Shannon Mattern, “Mission Control: A History of the Urban Dashboard,” Places Journal (March 2015).

Shannon Mattern, “Things that Beep: A Brief History of Product Sound Design,” Avant (August 2018).

We encourage you to think, too, about how interfaces might embody different cultures and ideologies. Consider, for example, feminist interfaces or indigenous interfaces -- or interfaces that embody universal, accessible design. You'll find some relevant resources in the modules at the end of this syllabus, and we'll explore many of these themes as part of our case studies throughout the semester.

November DWC

Day 1 - Hazy

It was a familiar path she never thought she would walk again so soon. Not in the span of a couple of human lifetimes at the very least. Perhaps when nothing was left of it but long forgotten pathways that had been reclaimed by nature and its last caretaker had long ago been buried deep in the soil; leaving behind a hazy shell of once beautifully maintained structures in disarray and crumbling walls of stone that had been left to wither in the passing of time. Magical reinforcements no longer sustained and left to slowly deactivate all on their own on a sprawling estate that the passing of time did not leave much spared, save for the few blips of the chaotic arcane left to linger in search of a hunger that would go unsatisfied; a cold unkindness that may greedily latch its claws into an unsuspecting wanderer. 

The dust kicked up with her steps, one after the other until she had found herself greeted at the gate by familiar faces who looked as if they had been expecting the arrival of the arcanist. After she had passed through, Saedre’s eyes were drawn up towards the manor that hadn’t changed a lick since she had called these grounds her home where under her hand, she had given much of herself alongside faces that had also moved on to new ventures in their lives. Now, as a guest to the renamed Winthrope Estates that was merely a residential piece of land these days, there was just relief that settled around her in the knowledge that no one needed her immediate attention for this matter or that. There was nothing here for her to take up into her hands to lead in one direction or another, and it was just as she now preferred it. 

“Lady Starweaver,” a familiar voice gasped in soft delight, bringing the arcanist’s attention out from up in the clouds of days long passed to the woman standing in the doorway. The housekeeper’s graying hair was pinned back neatly in a bun and she wore her usual uniform of a black dress that was cut just above her ankles and a tidy white apron tied snuggly over it. It took Saedre a couple blinks of the eye to recognize the aging woman before her and when she recognized the housekeeper, there was a small twinge of sadness that washed over her. The last time she had seen Miss Fiona, the woman’s hair hadn’t a touch of gray nor a wrinkle to her face - but this was a different story now.

“Pray forgive the lady of the house for being unable to greet you properly herself. As you know, she goes where the wind takes her,” Miss Fiona smiled warmly as she approached Saedre and took her bags in hand. “Oh, I am tickled pink to have you staying here with us again but dreadfully saddened to hear of the state of things that brought you to our doorstep!”

“It is good to see you again, Miss Fiona,” Saedre bowed her head politely as she followed the housekeeper into the manor. “I too wish it were in better circumstances and please, it is no trouble at all. I would find myself quite surprised if Neile were home instead of traveling to her heart’s content. 

Saedre smiled softly as she mused aloud as her eyes swept the familiar halls, “I suppose we are kindred spirits in that way.” 

As Miss Fiona led Saedre up the stairs to the second level of the manor, Saedre stopped a moment to observe a large portrait of the Winthrope sisters as they came to the landing. It was a familiar painting of the beautiful human sisters seated in the parlor room in front of the fireplace that she had seen many times before. The two looked much younger in the painting than at the time Saedre had come to know both Koira and her elder sister Neile. Each with hair spun of the color of an inky midnight sky and bright, piercing blue eyes that were quite the contrast to it. The younger sister was always adorned in her fine dresses and gems, while her elder sister preferred a simpler look in neat slacks and a nice dress shirt. The Winthrope family had been happy here once upon a time. 

“Light rest her soul, Lady Koira,” Miss Fiona joined Saedre at her side and looked up at the painting with a proud smile. “It always felt like a piece of her lived on through you when you took up the mantle of her academy.”

“Oh?” Saedre lofted a brow, tilting her head to observe the housekeeper curiously. 

Miss Fiona laughed warmly and nodded, “Oh, high praise! High praise indeed!” With each of Saedre’s bags in hand, she turned promptly and began to lead the way down the hall once more. “Now, let us get you settled in. Come along now.”

“Wait…” the housekeeper abruptly stopped mid-step and peered over her shoulder cautiously. “Do you still keep that little firecracker in your service?”

Saedre gasped, nearly running right into Miss Fiona at the surprise stop. Following the woman’s gaze, she could only surmise a guess at the familiar nickname Aveem had been given by some of the help around the estates when she had last lived here. With a soft chuckle, Saedre raised her hand up and proclaimed, “I do hereby swear that I will ensure Aveem minds his manners. You have my word. Besides, he has been too busy trying to make himself important among my new colleagues.”

As odd as it felt returning to the estate grounds, that little reminder of Aveem’s past of being quite the pest to the help brought on a sense of light-hearted joy she hadn’t felt in weeks since Dalaran crumbled. A familiar sensation of home in a world that began to feel rather complicated again in her displacement.

D.W.D. Kinktober 2023 Character List

Hey y'all! Alright, so the poll (i.e. majority vote) says that I'm just to post the characters for this spicy October season event, so that's what I'm gonna do! Thank you all so much for voting! 😁

Also, this is your preliminary warning if you're a minor and you follow me, or if you're uncomfortable with/ just don't like explicit/nsfw content, that I will be posting mainly things pertaining to those subjects all throughout next month! So please, if you are underage, I love you, thank you for being here, you're amazing, but please do not interact with my NSFW tagged content (I always use the tag dwd.nsfw if you want to just block that tag). Thank you! ❤️

So, without further ado, the characters for this year's Kinktober are just below the cut!

So, this list comes predominantly from the series of alphabetical character polls (in the form of the 2nd and 3rd placers). I also didn't want any repeat characters from last year, just to keep things unique and interesting, so that was taken into account as well. Lastly, I wanted to adhere to the Official Kinktober List as much as possible, so some characters were chosen to meet very... ah, particular criteria. And while this is my official list, things are still subject to change (but I think characters are likely to stay the same no matter what else changes). Any who, here they are!:

Fallout 3:

Amata Almodovar

Dukov

Eulogy Jones

Clover

Flak & Shrapnel

The Gary(s)

Harold (& Bob)

Uncle Leo

Reilly

Sarah Lyons

Winthrop

Fallout New Vegas:

Beatrix Russell

Caesar

Dazzle

Julie Farkas

Legate Lanius

Neil

Red Lucy

Rose of Sharon Cassidy

Rotface

Fallout 4:

Curie

Edward Deegan

Glory

Kent Connolly

Pickman

Proctor Ingram

Tinker Tom

Vault Tec Rep

Yefim Bobrov

There's also not exactly 31 of them, just because I felt it necessary to build in a couple "off days" of writing because... well, mental and physical health reasons 😅 but either way, I hope y'all are excited as I am! I know some of these folks are less popular and others are... unorthodox, but I hope y'all have a good time with it, and maybe find love for a character you didn't know as well before? Idk, I do think it's gonna be loads of fun though 😁

“My name is Colour Theory Winthrop”

“no...no...”

“my name is Neil-Banging-Out-The-Tunes Cheeseborough”

“NO!”

Gonna give my hypothetical future kids names in the style of Puritan hortatory names, except based on stupid Tumblr memes. All giving introductions like yes, these are my beautiful children Effervesence and Statistical-Outlier.

PC John Neil

Police Constable John  Neil was born  in 1850 in County Cork, Ireland. Joined Metropolitan Police in 1875, warrant  no.59168. Served in J-division (Bethnal Green) throughout his career.

PC Neil discovered the body of  Mary Ann Nichols whilst on beat duty at  approximately 3.45am, 31st August 1888. He had walked from Thomas Street into  Buck's Row and was heading eastwards towards  Brady Street. Hearing PC John Thain walking along Brady  Street, he summoned him with his lamp and later, he was joined by PC  Jonas Mizen who had been alerted to the  discovery of Nichols' body by the carmen Charles  Cross and Robert Paul. It is likely that Neil missed  Cross and Paul by minutes and testified that he saw nobody about. The furthest  he had been from the murder spot all night was Baker's  Row.  

With the aid of his lamp, he noticed  the wound to Nichols' throat and that blood was still oozing out. He felt her  arm, which he claimed was still warm and noted that her eyes were wide open. Her  bonnet was lying nearby. He immediately despatched PC Thain to fetch Dr.  Rees Ralph Llewellyn and told PC Mizen to fetch the ambulance.  

Whilst waiting for Dr. Llewellyn, he  was joined by Henry  Tomkins, James  Mumford and Charles Bretton who worked at Harrison, Barber & Co, horse  slaughterers in nearby Winthrop Street and who he had seen at 3.15am, ie thirty minutes  before finding Nichols' body. Neil also rung the bell of Essex Wharf to enquire if a disturbance had been heard, to which  the answer was 'no', as well as examining the area around the body, on which he   found no traces of wheel-marks. PC Neil remained with the body (in accordance  with procedure) until it was removed to the mortuary.

In 1889, John Neil was a reserve  police officer.

He retired from service in 1897 after  receiving an injury whilst on duty.
