HAP FRI BLUE💜💜 I come for some platonic vibes this week maybe? how about dorian & ixchel with 'Walk then. Come on, walk towards me. I bet you can’t even take a step’ + idiots in friendship + dorian calls her mula at LEAST once + one of them carries the other/gives a piggyback ride + at some point they collapse in a pile somewhere not designed for resting and decide it's too much effort to get back up ((hope you find some muse tonight bb❤))

Thanks mer!! for @dadrunkwriting

Pairing: Ixchel Lavellan & Dorian Pavus

-:-:-

Ixchel rested her head against the wall and heaved out a pealing giggle, eyes squeezing closed from how the scene tickled her.

"What are you-- Are you laughing at me?" Dorian cried.

"You're still in your stoles!" she said with another laugh. "What will the students think seeing their illustrious commencement speaker--" a hiccup interrupted her, and she clutched her one hand to her chest where it pained her "--like this?"

"Like what?" Dorian rolled his eyes. "So handsome?"

Ixchel cackled. "Have you looked in a mirror, lethallin?"

Dorian spluttered and self-consciously smoothed back his hair. "They'll hope they have this much fun when they're my age," he said primly. "And what about you, Lavellan? Come on, walk towards me. I bet you can't even take a step!"

Ixchel turned, keeping her head touching the wall as she rotated slowly to glare at him. "Bet."

"I hope you're not trying to get money out of me, mula," Dorian huffed. "I am here on Chancellor De Fer's coin, not mine!"

"I think the campus deserves a nice vhenadahl," Ixchel mused. She gave Dorian a sly smile. "I think that red one, with the fruits, would be nice."

"Arbutus unedo?" Dorian said thoughtfully. "I'm sure I can get Vivienne and Fiona to put a nice plaque on it... 'Gift of House Pavus'... Alright, mula. Bet on."

Ixchel pushed off of the wall and took one exaggerated step forward. She paused, raised her eyebrows at Dorian daringly, and spread her arms. He raised his eyebrows right back at her and stroked his mustache with exaggerated critique in his gaze, as if judging her technique at some battle stance.

When Ixchel then scuttled forward several steps, her arms still wide for balance, Dorian couldn't help but double over in a fit of laughter--which put him at the perfect height for Ixchel to leap onto his back.

Dorian almost choked when her one remaining arm hooked around his neck, and he quickly caught her legs for support so she wouldn't hang on so tight.

"Maker forbid the students see this," Dorian said, aggrieved. "The dread Inquisitor so inebriated she cannae walk home, and the poor, poor Magister Pavus charged with the heroic task of bringing her home!"

"I can walk," Ixchel said. "I just did! And you owe me."

"Sure, sure," Dorian said, "but will you walk?"

Ixchel blew a wet sound into his ear. "I'm so tall, Dor! I never get to be this tall!"

He laughed again and just shook his head.

"And I don't talk like that," Ixchel added.

"Yes you do," Dorian said, "when you're drunk you sound straight out of Starkhaven. I don't even know where you picked it up."

Ixchel fell silent, frowning, as Dorian set off down the street. They made it nearly all the way down the long block that led from the dwarven merchant district where the most expensive bars were found (they had patronized several) and into the tourist district across the river. It was then that Ixchel, sleepily, said to Dorian:

"You didn't meet my Keeper, did you?" she asked. "They sound like that."

"Isn't that your nice young man's parent? Name started with a 't'?"

"Yeah, Terinelan," Ixchel said affirmatively.

"Then you all must be long lost children of Starkhaven," Dorian replied. "Try moving east, mula. Maybe there's a crown in it for you."

Ixchel dug her knees into his ribs just as they finish crossing the bridge, and Dorian broke into hysterical, ticklish laughter that proved to be their downfall.

Literally.

The pair went sprawling in the grass that lined the street, coming to rest tangled together among the decorative flowers planted so carefully there.

Dorian puffed with frustrated, unconquerable laughter, and Ixchel curled up under his arm, stifling her own laughter in his chest.

"Alright," Ixchel gasped. "Alright. I think--I think we need help."

"You need help," Dorian replied crossly. "I need help with you!"

He fished his necklace out of his shirt and held it to his lips. "Venhedis, come and fetch your wife!"

"And you too, I assume?" Solas's dry voice came in reply, muffled in Dorian's fist.

"Well, of course! I believe you were the one to call me the brightest mage of the age. It would be a great loss to leave me lying here in the street."

"Lying-- Pavus, what trouble have you gotten into this time?"

"Vhenan," Ixchel called, "I won a bet."

Solas's beleaguered sigh was unmistakable, even garbled through the crystal. "Congratulations, Ixchel. Now, where are you two? I shall fetch you two shortly, and Dorian can stay with us, I presume?"

Ixchel crowed in delight. "Just like old times!"

Waterloo Tower, Quex Park, Birchington, Kent

John Powell Powell (1769-1849 – the double Powell acquired to meet the conditions of an inheritance) was passionate about bell-ringing and erected this ‘light, elegant and fanciful building’ at Quex Park, his seat in Kent, where his hobby could be indulged. Not content with a lofty tower, he almost doubled its height with a unique cast iron spire – years before a certain Parisian landmark took…

Others from " slobber," quasi " slobberster," Wykehamic, "one who slobbers," whence "slobster," whence "lobster."

-

tund [verb] to beat or hit (someone or something). From Latin tundō, to push or thrust.

When the prefects heard of this they had the good sense to summon the culprits, inform them of the discourtesy and injustice of their conduct, and tund them soundly. The duty of a prefect which an American would least envy is that of inflicting bodily punishment — "tunding," as it is called in Winchester slang. This consists in beating the culprit across the back of his waistcoat with a ground-ash the size of one's finger. The art of tunding, an old Prefect of Hall informed me, was to catch the edge of the shoulder-blade with the rod, and strike in the same spot every time. In this way, he said, it was possible to cut the back of a waistcoat into strips. - School Boy Life in England by John Corbin

‘Pimp’ and ‘Lyss’: The Immortal Young Brothers by Claude Johnson (Black Fives Foundation)

They were brothers on and off the court. William Pennington Young, sometimes known as “Pimp” to his friends, and his older brother Ulysses S. Young, known simply as “Lyss” to his pals, were an unstoppable sibling pair of African American basketball stars that played during the 1910s and early 1920s.

They also made significant pioneering contributions off the court, long after their playing days ended.

Ulysses was born in Virginia in 1894. A year later, after his hard working parents migrated tot he North in pursuit of a better life, younger brother William was born in Orange, New Jersey.

A few years later, in 1900, their parents rented a room of their home to a young couple from Virginia, the Ricks family, who had a newborn son named James. Over the years the Young brothers embraced little James as if he were their own kin, and as the older boys got involved in sports, so did their protégé.

Something in that combined household created serious athletic skills.

Lyss and William attended nearby Orange High School, where they starred in football, basketball, and baseball. In 1910, while still in high school, the pair began playing semi-pro basketball for the Imperial Athletic Club, a local squad that competed against such teams as the Newark Strollers, the Montclair Athletic Club, and the Jersey City Colored YMCA. The two immediately received attention in the black sports press, including the popular and nationally circulated New York Age.

Their attraction to basketball got young James hooked on the sport too, and he soon developed his own talent. One huge advantage was having the opportunity to learn from- and train with the Young brothers.

The little basketball apprentice, James Ricks, would grow up to become James “Pappy” Ricks, who would become a founding member of the New York Renaissance Big Five professional basketball team and eventually reach the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

After high school, the Young brothers attended Lincoln University in West Chester, Pennsylvania, which was not only America’s oldest historically black university but also was the closest to home for them. In college they both were once again three-sport stars. Though the brothers excelled in each sport, their first claim to fame was through football.

Playing quarterback, William was named as a Negro All-American during his senior year. Ulysses, playing end, was named to the Milton Roberts All Time Black College Football Squad for the 1910s Decade.

After graduating from Lincoln (“Pimp” was class valedictorian in 1917), the Youngs were recruited to play professional basketball in Pittsburgh by prominent African American sports promoter Cumberland Posey. Posey, historian Rob Ruck wrote in Sandlot Seasons, his landmark book that explores the city’s unique athletic heritage, “was,as much as any one man could be, the architect of sport in black Pittsburgh.”

The pioneering promoter had been cultivating Pittsburgh’s black basketball talent through his operation of several different squads in the city, most prominently the Monticello Athletic Association, since the early 1910s. But with America’s imminent entry into World War I and the resulting lack of resources, Posey decided to consolidate his best talent into one powerfully built team.

The result was the Loendi Big Five, a legendary combo that was sponsored and got its name from the Loendi Social & Literary Club, an exclusive African American social club in the the city’s predominantly black Hill District.

1921.

Adding the collegiate superstars from Lincoln not only helped Posey promote his new team but also sparked the Loendi Big Five’s domination of black basketball, with a dynasty that included four straight Colored Basketball World Championships from 1919 through 1923.

Hey Harker I have a question about the Circles! Do you think it would be possible for two senior enchanters from different circles to meet? I know first enchanters gather routinely but can other older members of the circle go with them?

hi! yes! in wynne’s cameo in awakening, she asks the warden to find “ines the botanist” to help her secure the vote against circle independence at the college of magi in cumberland, and ines doesn’t even appear to be a senior enchanter. wynne is a senior enchanter herself—though she has a special “archmage” status due to her services during the blight, which allows her more freedom of movement—and is discussed as having not only attended the college but entirely swung that extremely important vote. wynne’s son rhys, a regular senior enchanter at the white spire in val royeaux, also talks about having attended the college. and he’s only in his 30s. smh nepotism.

so, you can’t bring all your senior enchanters, because somebody’s got to run the bloody circle while you’re gallivanting off to nevarra, but you do seem to get to bring a little retinue. because all fraternities are represented at the college of magi, i think it’s worth saying that senior enchanters would have to be present, because not all fraternities seem likely to have enough sway in any one tower for a first enchanter. the vote would be vastly controlled by aequitarians if that were true imo? i mean, it is vastly controlled by aequitarians, but surely not that much

as an aside, circle mages are functionally academics, so making connections for studies would be as important and i would expect a constant flurry of correspondence between these gatherings that some deeply bored templar has to sift through daily

Narcissism

Camping dreams dreaming of earlier dreams, telling of woods and hills I'd been on. A circular trail, a mountainous trip. And driving a pickup on a dirt road with a steep climb, hairpin turns

Cumberland plateau in June, early June. So June. I don't know where this left off. A summer ago, a red light on a dark street.

There was a big truck with a water leak, but it seemed like it'd be ok. Driving in the rain in the dark with dimming lights. We waited in a college town, near a diner with big baskets of fries.

Where there was yellow and red, my friend from work speaking Farsi as I took him home

18th January 1782 marks the death of the Scottish Physician and philosopher John Pringle,

Sir John Pringle is one of three men who are named the "father of military medicine"

John Pringle led a varied life. Though a career in commerce beckoned, his life would lead a different path, he went first to be educated at St Andrews University and then to Edinburgh for a year before being sent to acquire commercial experience in Amsterdam.

One day, when visiting Leiden, chance and an inquisitive mind led Pringle to the lecture room of Herman Boerhaave, it inspired him to abandon his future in commerce and become a medical student. Compared with today, medical education was then extremely brief and, two years later, in 1730 Pringle qualified MD and returned to Scotland to set up practice in Edinburgh.

As well as practising medicine Pringle was known for his interest in moral philosophy and in 1734 was appointed Professor of Pneumatics and Moral Philosophy. However it was his medical abilities that earned Pringle his in history. In 1742 he was appointed as hpersonal physician to the Earl of Stair at Fladres who put him in charge of the military hospital.

Pringle was a careful and methodical man who believed that prevention was better than cure. He insisted on sanitary measures that reduced the rate of typhus and dysentery, diseases which killed more soldiers than actual battle, and pioneered the concept of hospitals in the field as neutral territory. In 1745 his services were recognized by the Duke of Cumberland who appointed him 'Physician General to His Majesty's Forces in the Low Countries and beyond the seas'. Pringle was subsequently elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He had resigned his chair at Edinburgh but returned to Scotland where he witnessed the Battle of Culloden in 1746 and compared the varying degrees of morbidity in the forts which had been built to subdue the Highlands.

After another sojourn overseas with the army he settled in London in 1749 and carried out various experiments on putrefaction, recommending the use of ammonia whenever it occurred. He continued his interest in typhus (or 'gaol' or 'putrid' fever) and wrote the work for which he is primarily remembered, Observations on the diseases of the Army. This was first published in 1752 but ran to several editions. He was appointed physician to both King George III and Queen Charlotte, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London and, in 1772, President of the Royal Society. The King acknowledged his work by awarding him a baronetcy in 1766. In 1778 Pringle retired as PRS because of declining health and returned to Edinburgh but, feeling that the city had deteriorated since his youth, returned to London where he died a year later.

There is a monument to Pringle in Westminster Abbey, as seen in the pics, it reads;

Sacred to the memory of Sir JOHN PRINGLE, Baronet, who was at an early period of life Professor of Moral Philosophy in the university of EDINBURGH: afterward physician to the ARMY, to the PRINCESS OF WALES, to the QUEEN and to KING GEORGE III. President of the ROYAL Society; member of the ROYAL Academy of SCIENCES at Paris etc.etc. His medical and philosophical knowledge, his inviolable integrity, and truely Christian virtues rendered him an honour to his age and country. He was born in SCOTLAND in April 1707 and died in LONDON in January 1782.

DC-Prober by Robert Profeta (1979), Vineland and Millville in Cumberland County, New Jersey. "Robert Profeta of Vineland, a 21-year-old student at Cumberland County College who has built ''DC- Prober,'' is not a craftsman in the ordinary sense. DC-Prober is an amiable robot with many useful skills, in addition to eye appeal. His credibility as a personal sentry is reinforced by hefty shoulders and a suit of Air Force blue. Sometimes, his eyes light up in your presence, but if you shouldn't be there, he can send out an alarm. In creating DC-Prober, Mr. Profeta had to call upon traditional building talents and be mindful of design. Moreover, like others who have designed prototypes for experimental robots, he had to concern himself with what now is recognized as ''the esthetics of organization.'' Usually, DC (it means just what it ought to: ''direct current'') sits in a bedroom of the apartment that the young inventor shares with Michael Profeta, his father. ... Like most other personal robots, DC-Prober has humanoid proportions and parts analagous to a head, arms and body. Actually, he represents the culmination of skills that Mr. Profeta began developing when he made his first robot for a ninth-grade science project. ... DC-Prober's dome-shaped head was made from a clear plastic terrarium painted on the inside to retain its sheen on the surface. Originally, his cylindrical body was a lard can. Sleeves of clothes-dryer hose cover metal arms ending in claws which, when Mr. Profeta pushes a button on a small control box, rather crudely pick up objects from the floor. When the robot is placed on one side of a doorway, he can be programmed so that his electric eye will activate lights and a buzzer if an intruder approaches." – ROBOTS AS PRODUCTS OF IMAGINATION, Patricia Malarcher, The New York Times, Feb. 19, 1984.

This Week in Julie History: Coronation Night Gala Supper Dance and All-Star Cabaret, Cumberland Hotel, 2 June 1953

Seventy years ago, in June 1953, London pulsated with the exhilarating energy of Coronation Week. Just as witnessed during the recent ascension of King Charles, crowds thronged the flag-bedecked streets of the capital, hearts ablaze with patriotic pride, waiting for a glimpse of their new young Queen Elizabeth II.  Numerous celebrations filled the Coronation Week of 1953, ranging from quaint neighbourhood street parties to grand, opulent balls. Almost every hotel and restaurant across the city curated special coronation-themed events. Among these, the Cumberland Hotel, located in the upscale Marble Arch district, offered a notable highlight with a magnificent Gala Supper Dance and Dinner. 

Tickets for the gala were priced at 5 gns—approximately £200 in today's terms—so it was clearly a high-end affair. But for their money, guests were indulged with a gourmet six-course supper featuring suitably coronation-themed dishes such as Le blanc de poularde Reine Elizabeth -- Queen Elizabeth chicken breast -- served with Windsor Pearls and Royal Potatoes. Enhancing the experience, guests were also treated to a cocktail on arrival, half-bottle of vintage champagne and after-supper liqueurs.

A superbly curated All-Star Cabaret performance served as a delightful accompaniment to the evening's supper. Compered by celebrated magician, Billy McComb, it featured a line-up of top variety entertainers including comedian Reg Dixon; radio impressionist Peter Cavanagh, the singing duo, Jack and Daphne Barker, and ‘Britain’s youngest soprano’, Julie Andrews.

That Julie was contracted as one of the gala’s headliners attests to her rising professional stock in the era. Now aged 17, she was fast moving beyond the child star persona of her early career and events such as this cabaret marked a pivot to a more mature and sophisticated style.

Unfortunately, as she relates in the first volume of her memoirs, Julie didn’t actually make it to the Cumberland Hotel that night due to a car breakdown:

“There were many glamourous events and galas during the time of the coronation, and my mother and I were invited to perform one evening at a hotel on Park Lane. We set off in Bettina, our trusty car. There was a low bridge on the way to London, where the road took a huge dip. We were decked out in our best attire, and as happens so often in England, it was simply teeming with rain. Ahead of us, under the bridge, was a vast body of water. “Oh, just plow through it,” I advised Mum. “If we go fast enough, we ’ll come out the other side.” Mum gunned the engine, and Bettina came to a hissing stop right in the middle of the pool. Her motor had completely flooded. Dressed in our finery, we waded out of the deep water and stumbled to a garage to ask for the car to be towed to safety. We never did make the concert” (2008, 154).

There is no record of how Julie’s absence was conveyed to the crowd at the Cumberland or what their response was...but we’d have been crying into our five guinea half-bottle of vintage champagne!

Missouri college student Riley Strain's death appears to be "accidental," Metro Nashville Police Department told The Tennessean.

Toxicology results are still pending, but there is no apparent foul play, MNPD spokesperson Kris Mumford said.

"Detective attended the autopsy examination," Mumford said. "Continues to appear accidental."

A final autopsy won't be complete until all testing is finished.

Strain's body was discovered early Friday morning about eight miles from where he was last seen in downtown Nashville following a two-week search for the missing 22-year-old. Police said his body was pulled from the Cumberland River in west Nashville, a major waterway that weaves through downtown Nashville and eventually flows back north into Kentucky.

Who was Riley Strain?

Strain went missing after being kicked out of Luke's 32 Bridge Food and Drink Nashville's Lower Broadway while vacationing with fraternity brothers. He attended the University of Missouri and was a member of the Delta Chi fraternity.

Prior to his disappearance, he was seen on surveillance footage walking around the downtown area, sometimes stumbling.

He had a friendly exchange with a police officer near 1st Avenue North and Gay Street. His bank card was discovered near the Cumberland River on March 17, five days before his remains were recovered.

Nashville holds candlelight vigil honoring Riley Strain

About 50 people gathered for a candlelight vigil memorializing Strain on March 22, the same day his body was found in the Cumberland River.

Strain's parents told reporters at a Friday press conference they were grateful for the community's help to find their son.

"I just ask that you mommas out there hug your babies tight tonight, please." his mother, Michelle Whiteid, said. "Please for me. Hug your babies tight tonight."

Philip seems to have taken notable interest in theater and literature. Both of his friends, Thomas Rathbone and Stephen Price had a considerable relation to theater. As Rathbone, one of Philip's old classmates, writes to his sister about his death;

At the theatre I was informed of it about 9 O'clock Monday evening - I immediately ran to the House near the State Prison from whence I was told they dare not remove him - Picture yourself my dear Girl my emotions which must have assailed me on my arrival at his room to which I was admitted as his old College classmate.

Additionally, both Price and Philip were going to see the play, The West Indian by Cumberland, when they happened to encounter Eacker. [x] Stephen Price would also go on to be very influential to America's theater business, and became the founder of theater management.

Philip also enjoyed reading. At the young age of eight, he was already requesting books about geography;

I enclose for my little friend Philip a copy of the elements of Geography, which I mentioned.

He also seemed to have dabbled in poetry with Hamilton mentioning that Eliza would give him an Ovid, referring to the Roman poet, Publius Ovidius Naso, who is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin;

Your Mama has got an Ovid for you and is looking up your Mairs introduction.

Prior to his death he was also borrowing a book from the local library. [x] There is also the possibility of him being given his father's old books. [x]

When Philip was older, he was also part of a literature society. It was a Literature Society composed mainly of boys in their early twenties. It looks as though the members belonged to the same generational group, and were all rather acquainted with each other. A reappearing pattern being that; most of them were from New York, studied law, and graduated from Columbia in the 1790s.

About this time, Mr. Jones was a member of a literary society, (of which the late Peter A. Jay was president,) composed, among others, of Nathan Sandford, Charles Baldwin, John Ferguson, Jas. Alexander, Rudolph Bunner, Goveurneur Ogden, the first Philip Hamilton, William Bard, Wm. A. Duer, Philip Church, John Duer, and Beverley Robinson; of whom the last five are the only survivors.

Funny enough, there are a lot of familiar faces, and two of which would later assist Philip in his duel against George Eacker. David Samuel Jones, who was a 1796 graduate of Columbia College, would later help Philip convince his uncle John Barker Church to lend them his guns for the encounter and was one of his second's. Additionally, Philip's cousin also went there, Philip Church, who would also later be his second. Philip seems to have had a close relationship with his cousin Church, as Church was usually visiting the Hamiltons' and assisting his uncle Hamilton in Law or the Quasi-war.

Overall, Philip was quite “popular” and well-liked by many other boys his age, likely due to the importance of his surname. He was known for being very smart, gregarious, and handsome, with his charming rebellious side he appealed to plenty of adolescent men from his generation. The Evening Post considered him; “a young man of most amiable disposition and cultivated mind; much esteemed and affectionately beloved by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.” [x]

He seemed to make friends easily, other than just the previously mentioned Price and Rathbone, but also Washington's step-grandson; George Washington Parke Custis (Also known as Wash or Washy), who he attended school with for a period of time [x], they were also childhood playmates — as the Hamilton children visited the Washingtons' often when the two families lived in Philadelphia. Wash even wrote Hamilton a condolence letter after Philip's death, and in it he said; “We were brought up as it were, together in our earlier years and that mutual friendship which then existed between us, would I have no doubt have at a future time ripened into esteem.” [x]

There was also the small portion of time when Lafayette's son, Georges Washington de Lafayette, stayed with the Hamiltons' in 1795 while they awaited for conflict to die down so he could stay with Washington. [x] (Which actually brings up a funny story about Hamilton losing Lafayette's son) Georges and Philip were only three years apart in age, so it's imaginable they may have found each other's company agreeable. The only opposition being that Georges seemed in a state of despondency during his time with the Hamiltons' - likely missing his home country and parents - he was described as losing weight and being depressed, if not absent from their home and off with his tutor. [x] And later on he never wrote about his stay with them at all. So, I can't affirm it was a pleasurable experience for him, and there isn't any considerable evidence to suggest a friendship between the boys.

Another apparent interest of Philip's was traveling, and he traveled to Providence, Rhode island, and Philadelphia on his own during his youth. In a condolence letter, Rush says Philip was a charming guest at their residence during the last trip and says he made great friends with his son, who was likely Richard Rush since there was only two years difference between the boys;

It may perhaps help to sooth your grief when I add to that united expression of Sympathy, that your Son had made himself very dear to my family during his late visit to Philadelphia, by the most engaging deportment. His visits to us were daily, and after each of them he left us with fresh impressions of the correctness of his understanding and manners, and of the goodness of his disposition. To One of my Children he has endeared himself by an Act of friendship & benevolence that did great honor to his heart, and will be rememb[e]red with gratitude by Mrs. Rush, and myself as long as we live. My Son has preserved a record of it in an elegant and friendly letter which he received from him After his return to New York.

For even more options, there is a catalog of graduates at Columbia College which show the names of Philip's classmates. [x]

Hope this helps!
