My first fanart for the movie Bedazzled from 1967, I can´t believe the fandom for this movie is so small. This movie was definitely an inspiration for Good Omens. Written by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore inspired by the Faust legend. A shy fry cook sells his soul to a sexy, charming Satan for seven wishes to win the love of a girl. But there were definitely some homoerotic undertones.

so...snape fans have speculated where cokeworth is located in the england map or what it's equivalence would be. i've seen people speculate it's probably up north perhaps. maybe snape's a northerner.
however.
it's been stated multiple times that cokeworth is in the midlands. so we're thinking northampton, shropshire, stoke, birmingham.
but i prefer to think it's in the black country. mainly for these reasons:
1. cokeworth is an industrial town, even if spinner's end seems mainly abandoned, and the black country was the birth of the industrial revolution.
2. the black country was known for steelworks, glassworks and cokeworks which is maybe where the town got its title from.
3. the black country suffered from high unemployment due to the closing down of a lot of industrial sites in the 60s and 70s which ties into the idea of spinner's end being practically desolate now, and also the strain on the snape's household's economic position.
4. petunia met vernon dursley and marries him. his job was being the director of a firm that made drills. which are made of steel. steelworks anyone?
5. which leads to my last and favourite theory; petunia marrying vernon who perhaps also came from the black country then decided to name their child after something close to home. a nearby town perhaps - dudley.

60 years ago today, June 27, 1964, the final episode of The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show (known as Rocky & His Friends during the first two seasons and as The Bullwinkle Show for the last three seasons) aired.
It originally aired from November 19, 1959, to June 27, 1964, on the ABC and NBC television networks. Produced by Jay Ward Productions, the series is structured as a variety show, with the main feature being the serialized adventures of the two title characters, the anthropomorphic moose Bullwinkle and flying squirrel Rocky. The main adversaries in most of their adventures are the Russian-like spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Supporting segments include Dudley Do-Right (a parody of old-time melodrama), Peabody's Improbable History (a dog and his pet boy Sherman traveling through time), and Fractured Fairy Tales (classic fairy tales retold in comic fashion), among others.
Rocky & Bullwinkle is known for quality writing and wry humor. Mixing puns, cultural and topical satire, and self-referential humor, it appealed to adults as well as children. It was also one of the first cartoons whose animation was outsourced; storyboards were shipped to Gamma Productions, a Mexican studio also employed by Total Television. The art has a choppy, unpolished look and the animation is extremely limited even by television animation standards at the time. Yet the series has long been held in high esteem by those who have seen it; some critics described the series as a well-written radio program with pictures.
The show was shuffled around several times (airing in afternoon, prime time, and Saturday morning time slots), but was influential to other animated series from The Simpsons to Rocko's Modern Life. Segments from the series were later recycled in the Hoppity Hooper show.
There have been numerous feature film adaptations of the series' various segments, such as the 2000 film The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle which blended live-action and computer animation and the 1999 live-action film Dudley Do-Right, which both received poor reviews and were financially unsuccessful. By contrast, an animated feature film adaptation of the "Peabody's Improbable History" segment, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, was released to good reviews in 2014.
Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show were ranked the sixth Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time by TV Guide.

This is a book for readers of second world war history who like the Boy’s Own version of the conflict. The cast of characters could have stepped straight from a comic strip story. Yet the men of the SAS were real flesh and blood, “rogue heroes” as the title suggests. The organisation now famous for its derring-do, and as famously secretive, has opened its archive to the historian and journalist Ben Macintyre, so that he can produce the first authorised history of what the SAS did in the war.
Macintyre has made the most of the opportunity. The history needs scarcely any embellishment, though he tells it with flair: the simple facts of SAS activity make the “ripping yarns” of comic book heroes pale by comparison. The organisation was the brainchild of two officers posted to the war in Egypt, David Stirling and John “Jock” Lewes. Stirling was an awkward soldier, hostile to spit-and-polish and authority, charming, fun-loving and irreverent (“layer upon layer of fossilised shit” was how he described military bureaucracy). Bored by life in Cairo, he discussed with the ascetic, hard-working, serious-minded Lewes, his complete opposite in personality, the possibility of creating a unit of awkward men like himself, who wanted action, few rules and adventure in small hit-and-run assaults behind enemy lines. Astonishingly, Stirling persuaded the high command in Cairo that he could achieve something significant at low cost in men and materials. The chief of British deception in the desert war, Dudley Clarke, gave the unit its name. Already fooling the Italians with a bogus parachute unit, the First Special Air Service Brigade, he lent the name to Stirling, and the organisation has borne it ever since.
Macintyre uses the SAS war diary as the backbone of his narrative, and is candid about failure as well as the hard-earned successes. The SAS was an irregular unit, its members drawn from an extraordinary range of backgrounds – a spectacles salesman, a textile merchant, a tomato farmer, amateur boxer, and so on – with a range of motives to match. Some wanted excitement, some liked killing and made no pretence about it, some were escaping from their past, some were too eccentric for the ranks; all had to be fit, alert, crafty, ruthless if required and dedicated to the mission. Stirling was also aware that his outfit did not meet with approval in conventional military circles, which saw war as face-to-face, not behind the back. Churchill liked the force, and would no doubt have joined it had it existed in his youth. But through the campaign in North Africa, then Italy and Germany, the SAS had always to prove itself, in order to stave off disbandment.
The new unit nevertheless made a disastrous start and indeed had mixed fortunes throughout the war. The first operation, code-named “Squatter”, carried out while the handful of volunteers were still feeling their way, could not have gone more wrong. Poorly trained as paratroopers, the group nevertheless flew off into a desert storm trying to land at pre-planned dropping zones well to the rear of the enemy. They landed in the worst places, faced a Saharan downpour of biblical proportions, lost some of the troop to injury as they hit the ground, and were then unable to retrieve the parachuted supplies. With explosives so soaked they were worthless, uncertain about their whereabouts, short of food and water, the remnants of the original units made their way back to Egypt. Out of 55 men, 34 were killed, injured, captured or missing without a single achievement.
Macintyre makes the point that this was by no means the end of a madcap idea. Stirling recruited the Long Range Desert Group to take the SAS teams by Jeep or truck rather than risk any further parachute drops, and the second set of raids in December 1941 resulted in the destruction or disabling of 60 enemy aircraft. But Operation Bigamy, a series of raids against Benghazi shortly before the battle of El Alamein, was another disaster. It featured one of the most bizarre figures to emerge from the story: a Belgian textile merchant, Robert Melot. Fluent in Arabic, keen to get at the Germans, he volunteered for the SAS aged 47 as an intelligence officer. He used his range of Libyan contacts to glean information needed for the raids, but in this case Melot miscalculated. An Arab double agent alerted the Germans and Italians and the raids were a disaster. Once again a forlorn, bearded, hungry and damaged band straggled back to Cairo. Melot carried on his SAS career regardless, and died not from his many scrapes in battle, but from a Jeep accident on his way to a party in Brussels late in 1944.
The SAS came of age in the campaign in Italy, where it was used as a more conventional raiding party, the Special Raiding Service, under the command of Paddy Mayne following Stirling’s capture in Tunisia in late 1942. The Italian campaign was a particularly grisly one, and the SRS (with its core of SAS men) found collaboration with the partisans and rivalry with the Special Operations Executive (SOE) a challenge (unlike the SAS, the SOE always linked up with local resistance). Macintyre spares none of the details; the SAS fought a dirty war against an enemy they regarded as every bit as dirty. Prisoners were rare, but in return Hitler condemned irregular commando units to death if they were caught. Not all were killed by any means, but many were, just as the Germans killed all the other irregular, partisan forces ranged against them.
In October 1945 the army wound up the SAS and it continued to exist by subterfuge, a unit of war crimes investigators searching for evidence across Europe that SAS members had been murdered. In 1947, to meet the many crises of empire, the SAS was revived. What it did then and since can be guessed at, but until the postwar unit diaries are revealed, like the wartime diary used by Macintyre, the exact details will not be known.
What in the end did the SAS achieve in the war? Macintyre does not really say, leaving the narrative to speak for itself. It did not, as some of the book’s publicity has suggested, turn the tide of war. Its overall accomplishment, set beside those of the Commandos, or the SOE, the Chindits or other partisan groups, was strategically modest, whatever its tactical successes. But the SAS did bring to life the plucky, maverick, individualist hero of the comic strip, a very British way of making war. SAS: Rogue Heroes is a great read of wartime adventuring, in a long, grim war of attrition where adventure was hard to find.

Fic Friday (6)
Title: as long as you're with me
Author: girlbosscully
Word Count: 2238
AO3 Description: 
As they get further away from the bonfire, she begins to shiver. The rational part of her knows that doesn’t make sense– it’s a spring night in Arkansas, the temperature won’t dip below 60– but a much deeper part of her is cold, so cold, even under her jacket.
In response, Mulder squeezes her shoulders tighter. “I gotcha,” he whispers towards her head.
Set right after the last scene of “Our Town,” but before the final voiceover.
My thoughts: I can never get enough of these post-episode fics, especially when the actual episode ends before we get some good hurt/comfort. This fic is set immediately after Our Town and it shows Mulder caring for Scully after she's almost killed by the townspeople of Dudley. I hope this scratches your h/c itch!
Enjoy! Tagging @today-in-fic

Engravings of medallions of Elizabeth I (and Robert Dudley) about her involvement in the Eighty Years War in the Netherlands
When it comes to the subject of Elizabeth, the “coded iconic message” of these images is not necessarily aligned with the tropes that characterized Counter-Reformation propaganda under Philip II.39 If Counter-Reformation imagery often portrayed the Spanish Monarch as the champion of the Catholic faith who by divine intervention was entrusted with the creation of a Christian Republic against heresy, Elizabeth I, as the head of the Protestant Church, could have been “depicted as the Jezebel of the North, the scourge of Catholic martyrs,” as Roy Strong assumes.40 However, conceived from the outskirts of the empire, these metal artifacts create a parallel narrative that, instead of degrading the image of Elizabeth as a vain and ruthless heretic, offer a critical comment on Spain, its monarchy, and its policies in the Netherlands.
The Image of Elizabeth I in Early Modern Spain
More details under the cut
Fig. 23. Among the nine medals registered in Hawkins’s Medallic Illustrations that directly celebrate the Armada’s defeat between 1588 and 1589, only one includes an image of Elizabeth.59 This 1589 silver counter struck in Holland relies on classical Roman imagery to convey the celebration of Elizabeth’s greatest military accomplishment.60 The obverse side portrays Elizabeth regally seated on a triumphal cart: with one hand she holds a palm branch and with the other a Dutch prayer book. The legend conveys a sense of righteousness regarding the recently achieved victory likely shared by the Dutch rebels: “Tandem. Bona. Cavsa. Trivmphat. 1589” (At length the good cause triumphs).61 The reverse side is dominated by the presence of a leafy tree in which a voracious bird of prey (Spain) is trying to attack a nest full of chicks (the rebels). The inscription, “Bellv Necess” (Necessary war), runs across the surface of the composition and once again is intended to justify the Dutch struggle and Elizabeth’s success against the Spaniards. The inscription on the reverse side declares, “Si. Non. Viribvs. At. Cavsa. Potiores” (If not in strength, yet in our cause more powerful).62 The imagery of the medal presents Elizabeth as a fair ruler guided by moral principles while also stressing the defenseless state of the rebels in the Low Countries vis-à-vis the powerful but morally questionable Spanish Empire. Fig. 19. a year earlier, a 1586 commemorative medal that depicted Leicester by Elizabeth’s side helps to illustrate the support that the queen provided to the United Provinces and the dynamic involved in the representation of the royal image. On the obverse side of the medal, Elizabeth appears crowned and seated.49 The Virgin Queen is metaphorically embracing the struggle of the Dutch rebels by holding a double-edged sword in her right hand. The Earl of Leicester stands on her left side and presents a scroll or a book to her. Hawkins convincingly argues that the presence of Leicester seems appropriate to the context since he was “considered the great champion of Protestantism” (133). On the right side, two deputies from the Provinces kneel out of respect. The inscription says, “E. R. Est. Altrix. Esvrientivm. Evm. 1586” (Queen Elizabeth is the nourisher of those who hunger after Him, i.e., God) (133). On the reverse side, a close-up of Elizabeth’s sword points toward a cloud that bears the name of Jehovah in Hebrew and the words, “Sermo. Dei. Qvo: Ense. Ancipi: Acvtior” (The word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword) (133). The iconography of this particular medal reinforces the well-established trope of the Book and the Sword within Tudor political culture. According to John King, English monarchs starting with Henry VIII often used this motif to position themselves as the head of the church.50(Page 197). Among the metal portraits of Elizabeth that inform the understanding of relations between Spain and England through the lens of the Netherlands, a 1587 silver medal stands out. In the composition, Elizabeth appears seated on a throne with her feet resting on the Beast of the Apocalypse to signify her control over the Church of Rome. On the left side, the Earl of Leicester presents Elizabeth with a Royal Mantel. The expectation is that the queen will drape the Mantel over the five attendants, each representing a rebel province identifiable by their respective coat of arms: Gelderland, Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, and Friesland. The inscription states, “Deo. Opt[Imo]. Max[Imo]. Laus. Et. Honor. In. O[Mn]E. Aevun. Quod” (To the best and greatest God be praised and honour for ever, because).63 The reverse side of the medal dramatically displays the fall of the Antichrist. Like the medal that exhibited Elizabeth with the sword, the name of Jehovah in Hebrew appears inside a cloud. Below the cloud, the pope, cardinals, other members of the clergy, and a variety of ecclesiastical objects hurtle downward. The inscription states, “Quem. Deus. Conficiet. Spiritu. Oris. Sui” (Which God will consume by the breath of his mouth) (139). Van Loon notices that the legend, “Deo. Opt[Imo] . . . Quod” (To the best . . . because), is interrupted and thus it calls for an explanation. One could ask, because of what? Van Loon’s suggestion is that the commissioners of the medal—some sincere reformers and supporters of Leicester who were interested in offering the government of the Provinces to Elizabeth—seemed overly cautious with the request and left unsaid what they truly meant.64
Fig 17.  For example, the obverse side of a satirical 1585 copper piece, now at the Museo Naval in Madrid, shows Queen Elizabeth in profile seated on a throne. With a symbolic gesture, the queen offers Tudor roses to the deputies of the United Provinces to indicate the help that they are about to receive.43 The legend reads, “Macte. Animi. Rosa. Nectare. Imbvta” (Be encouraged, the rose is full with nectar).44 On the reverse side, a donkey and a horse (exemplifying the cities of Antwerp and Nijmegen, respectively), share the straw in a manger with two Spanish gentlemen. The human figures represent the Spanish king and the Duke of Parma. The legend ironically comments on the current state of the cities under Spanish rule: “Spreta. Ambrosia. Vescitor. Feno. 1585” (Despise ambrosia, ‘ye feed on straw).45 The clash between the dignified image of Elizabeth presenting the roses to the representatives of the Provinces, and the Spaniards relegated to the odor of a manger, satirize Spain’s policy in the Low Countries in particular with respect to Antwerp, which was under siege. Originally, the United Provinces sought help in their struggle from Henri III of France (1551–89), but, confronted with his refusal, they turned to Elizabeth for support.46 The precarious situation of Antwerp is reproduced in a medal that

HSHQTASK059: FAREWELL !
when did you join ? what made you join ? what do you remember from the plotlines that were current at the time ? where were you in life when you joined and where are you now ?
i joined in early (?) 2017. i had a lucky blue smith fc but that lasted for a hot minute and i ghosted LMAO. then i reapplied with astrid and as a bernadotte, i had sooo much fun <3 i don't remember ANYTHING, i'm sorry i just don't. i think irenton was still in its slowburn era. i was still in high school, about to graduate. now i have a master's degree and i'm working, crazy stuff!!!!
which characters have you written over the years ?
astrid, uriah 1.0 and 2.0, vitaliya, verona, francisco / francois, arvid, a dudley o'shaughnessy fc ( for 1 sec before ghosting )... i think that's everyone ???
what is your favourite plotline that you've been part of ?
i had a lot of fun writing chimei. i think it was the height of hshq for me so it really sticks out to me. idk if the bernadottes as a whole count as a plotline ? i'm such a sucker for them. the NUMBER one plotline though would be the russian plots vitya was part of. i think it's a sign of a good plotline when a 60-year-old character's threads are interesting and have me logging in. i don't want to name every plot but i have to give a mention to italy's stuff. i picked up verona because there was a huge hole in the hshqverse since italy had no rep, and i figured i'd survive without any nephews and nieces but then you all came back and i was so overjoyed <3 verona's story became so much more fulfilling for me to write.
what about other people's plotlines ?
i know i was kinda involved but watching the basel thing evolve was super entertaining. i liked the whole thing from beginning to the end. as for smaller plots, i think the spanish fires fucking up first zhergi and the farnauld has to be my fave thing. it was so wild and i LOVED the fact that a 3 year-old-plotline still had an effect on current threads and in such a surprising way <3
who is your favourite character from the ones you've played ? why ? what made you love them ? what made them so fun to write ?
astrid.... of course it's astrid. she was my age so i mirrored a lot of problems from my own life and made them hers. obviously they were exaggerated problems and shit but through astrid i got to write about emotions that were current to me. it was therapeutic and fun. i've loved all of my characters a lot though. vitya was so special because she was a character like no other. i loved creating her backstory and i had so much fun working on her psyche. a former USSR with a modest background, now an extremely influential duchess ? i loveeed it. it was so different and writing her inner monologue was so satisfying.
if you could relive a plotline, which would it be ?
i think the beginning of chimei. there was something about it. it moved naturally. i really miss the time.
is there a plotline that you'd edit now if you could ?
i'd speed up ilstrid so that we would actually get to write them getting together. i'll take the blame for ilstrid never really taking off lmao sry about that evy. i also wanna say that ilstrid is one of my fave ships because it was so easy and not-at-all-stressful to develop. it may have not reached its end, we didn't get a satisfying ending but i think it was so much fun to portray that kind of a love story. i wasn't a fan of friends-to-lovers trope but ilstrid is still one of my fave ships <3
what's a plotline you wish you would have been able to finish before closing or just write more of ?
ilstrid akfndsjkgbsnjg but also i think i would have enjoyed writing verona as the grand duchess of austria too. i do regret never applying for an austrian. it was something that "i'll do later" and never did it. it was partly because i didn't have a plotline for an austrian and couldn't naturally come up with one :(
what is your favourite ooc memory ?
when we brought the zulus. i don't think anything topped it. we made some really fucking shady and weird online chatroom to figure out the zulus' backstory and it was so much fun. i hadn't been that excited for something in a long time!!! and i think i'll have to mention all of the late nights of chatting with people. it was a big part of the hshq experience. we were all actual friends and i loved joking around. and i'll say it here now because this is so embarrassing but honestly i've always felt so appreciated when people have used the term naomi'd. it felt like a nickname fkjsgnjkgn and i'm glad i never upset anyone with my pushiness skdgngj
where can others find you if they want to get in touch ?
i'll disappear, i'm sorry but i think it's inevitable. i've enjoyed the chats and like i said i've loved to joke around but i'm not a person who really does online relationships. hshq was an exception and it'll stay as one. if you guys ever start writing again, pls im me or @ me. if it's meant to be, i'll stumble upon the message at the right time <3
what else would you like to say ?
oh dear ! i have so much to say but not enough words to express my feelings ! seven years is a long time to be part of something and i never expected to remain here for such a long time. i've been allowed to write and plot and create complex and inspiring plotlines with you, and i think it's been exceptional. hshq was something else among rpgs. anyone who has been part of this, has to agree. i think it says a lot that even though the dash died, on the very day of closing, six or so members did the final task. and i have a feeling we'll see many 058 and 059 tasks this week. i've laughed a lot with you, i've stayed up until the little hours just to be part of the experience, i've cried at your writing... i think honesty hours will be the epitome of joy for me. they always made me laugh and the energy was unbeatable. hshq has given me so much joy and has taught me a lot ! about people, about writing, about the english language and photoshop !!! you guys have no fucking idea how grateful i am of this experience and i wish i could relive it --- and that's a really good sign. sometimes we are glad to reach the ending but i don't think that applies here. this spring will feel different and this week will feel horrible. i have to admit, i'm not exactly ready for this and it feels so silly because it was 'just rp' aksfdbjdsgs thank you everyone for these years, the late nights and the amazing experience <3
