Peter Tork onstage in New York City, 1964. Photo by Bob Campell.
“There were a number of fine young performers that I remember seeing in the Village that summer, but one stands out in my mind — a young folksinger named Peter Tork.” - Alexander Bloom, Long Time Gone: Sixties America Then and Now (2001)
“I remember [Jack Solomon] telling Peter Tork, a wonderful singer-songwriter who played banjo, ‘Go to California… New York isn’t for you.’ Barely a week after Peter got there, he auditioned for a TV show and got it. The Monkees!” - Richie Havens, They Can’t Hide Us Anymore (1999)
“I asked Peter what he though about [Richie Havens], a folk singer I heard in New York Village and was most impressed by. ‘What do I think of [Richie Havens]?’ repeated Peter. ‘I think he is a genius!’ Someone suggested that Tim Rose was a comparable singer. ‘The only difference between [Richie Havens] and Tim Rose is that Tim Rose wishes he were [Richie Havens],’ said Peter and guillotined further discussion.” - Keith Altham, NME, July 1, 1967
“I arrived on the Village scene the winter of ‘61, and stayed there for about two and a half years. I played guitar and banjo. I came to the Village for glamour, excitement, hippiedom, the liberal lifestyle, free love. I was on the basket-passing circuit in the smaller clubs, like the Basement, the Cyclops and the Id. I later played Gerdes. What I was working towards was to be in a group. When the Beatles hit, where were all the folkies going to go? But I also wanted to be a folk music performer. A lot of what I did was hanging out, feeling for the first time that I was part of the scene, walking down the street and seeing people I knew, doing a little flirting. People were coming to the Village to sit down and have a cup of coffee and hope to find the free love that was supposed to be all around. The character that I was on The Monkees was developed on the stages of the Village clubs.” - Peter Tork, Bringing It All Back Home: 25 Years of American Music at Folk City (1986) (x)

My goodness, I wonder what other behind-the-scenes gems that the cast may share with us following the new streaming boost 🥰 I’m so excited to see more people discover this criminally underrated masterpiece!
This piece of dessert I’m drooling over is from the wonderfully talented Cristos Lawton who plays Lt. George Hodgson.

So I saw a pic a while ago, where someone pointed out that in the scene where Tozer talks to the marines, Hickey is holding a deck of card with a King of Hearts on top (I lost the og post, sorry).
I wanted to see for myself and make sure that it was a King, not a Jack. And it looks like it is indeed a King. Img from Wikipedia:
h and I found this lovely fact about a King of Hearts:
"The King of Hearts is sometimes also referred to as The Suicide King. Of course, it might have something to do with the fact that he is the only royal in the deck who appears to be killing himself – horribly, and with swords."
Apparently it's due to a printing error, but still, pretty interesting. source
EDIT I think it might actually be reynolds & sons deck
#gif warning#sorry for the huge gif#i don't make them very often#anyway I was thinking that maybe he was a Jack not a King because I would place Crozier as a King of Hearts#but it is absolutely up for debate#cornelius hickey#solomon tozer#amc the terror

Hiiiii 😄! I noticed that you have opened your requests and I would like to ask you for some (platonic) headcanons of how the OM characters would react (all of them if possible) when they find out that MC is a girl with a very strong anemia (she usually has iron low) and what would they do when one day while they were taking a walk with MC she suddenly stops and tells them: "I'm sorry, but I need to sit down, I don't feel well at all, I'm getting very dizzy and I don't have strength... I feel like if I take just one more step I'm going to faint." I would like to read your headcanons about This is so I'm looking forward to it 🤗
If possible I would also like to ask the same for the boys and teachers (if you make headcanons of the teachers and Sam of course) from TWST
(obviously only do the requests if you feel comfortable)
Hi, anon! Since there are a lot of HCs for the boys combined, I will end up repeating myself quite a bit. That's why I turned it into a quick HC. ><
----
Initial Reaction:
Helps you sit down and asks what he can do to help you - Silver, Riddle, Belphie, Simeon, Raphael
Picks you up and carries you to the doctor without even asking what's wrong - Ace, Mammon, Beel, Diavolo
Panics and bombards you with tons of questions - Sebek, Deuce, Kalim, Levi, Luke
Hands you a water bottle and asks if you have the energy to tell him what is wrong. He wants to see how he can help you - Trey, Azul, Asmo
Thinks you are not taking care of yourself and wants to lecture you but saves it for another time - Leona, Thirteen, Mephistopheles
Sits down next to you and gently rubs your back, wondering what is wrong - Ruggie, Floyd
Could tell from your pale face that something was wrong and was waiting for you to tell him - Malleus, Lilia, Jamil, Rook, Satan
Doesn't know what to do or say, so he patiently waits for you to tell him if you need anything or tell him what's wrong - Epel, Idia
Is aware of your condition and carries your meds (if you take any) or is aware of what to do when you feel low - Vil, Cater, Ortho, Jade, Lucifer, Barbatos, Solomon
Aftermath:
Helps you take care of yourself in any way you need - Ruggie, Cater, Deuce, Kalim, Epel, Mammon, Simeon
Regulates your diet and makes sure you eat iron-rich foods - Vil, Asmo, Beel, Barbatos
Gives you a massive lecture for not taking care of yourself and carries you to the doctor to figure out a proper treatment plan - Sebek, Azul, Mephistopheles
Makes sure you rest as much as possible - Silver, Idia, Floyd, Belphie, Levi, Luke
If your anemia is created by stress/depression, he will try to help you cope with your stress/triggers - Lilia, Jamil, Jade, Lucifer, Satan
Hires a private nurse to follow you everywhere - Leona, Malleus, Diavolo
Moves into Ramshakle dorm to help you with chores and such so you can rest more, or asks you to move into his dorm - Riddle, Rook
Visits you daily (or sends you texts when he can't) to take your iron supplements and to ask how you are doing - Jack, Trey, Ace, Ortho, Solomon, Thirteen, Raphael

The Wandering
summary: the Nelsons visit the Wandering Jew on Halloween and Rose makes the mistake of asking Eva to investigate the ghost as well as the strange vibe the hotel has.
cw: mentions of injuries and blood, fascism, drinking and unsafe witchcraft, cheating
rose and alfie(as well as their stories) belong to @justrainandcoffee
Their first trip after the pandemic was to London to visit Katie and her husband.
Its Halloween and because they don’t want to make things awkward with his sister and her husband ---because Eva has baby fever after seeing his baby niece---, they stay at the Wandering Jew.
They knew the owners, Rose and Alfie even if neither Jack nor Alfie could stand each other. They were more Eva and Katie’s friends than his and suddenly he and Alfie are sharing a rum bottle because Rose swears there’s a ghost in this place and Eva dabbles in witchcraft.
Jack wouldn’t lie and say he doesn’t believe her if their room and the hall it was didn’t give him a nauseating sense of déjà vu.
The painting with a red bearded knight and the lady that reminded him of Eva had been the first, then the dent on the simple candleholder felt like he’d been the one to drop it and the bed board ,to top it all off, had their initials in a heart with today’s date.
“Do you think it’s safe?” Alfie asks Jack who he assumes knows the answer as he takes another candy from the obnoxiously huge bag of Halloween candy they’d brought from the States at Rose’s request.
“Fuck if I know.” Jack takes a swig of the rum bottle having no fucking clue what this will bring.
And then they woke up alone in the waiting room with a hangover. The Hotel looked the same when he went upstairs to his room expecting to find a sleeping Eva who’s going to tease him for getting blackout drunk last night.
The door opens to reveal a medieval castle, Eva dressed exactly like the woman in the painting and talking like she’s in a Shakespearean play. And because he thought it was just a crazy sex dream, he let Princess Eva led him to the bedroom only to find himself alone and back in the hall of the Wandering Jew.
Not only that he is wearing the heavy steel armor, but the red beard he’d kill to grow out like that and even worse, completely sober.
Had to be a dream, must’ve been the rum, the candy and the takeout they had last night.
“Fucking hell, what sort of ritual did Evie do?” Alfie, dressed in simple medieval clothes, appears from a different room.
One moment they’re trying to communicate with the ghost haunting the place and the next Eva’s the princess in the painting.
She’d assumed it was a dream and didn’t stop the Knight from trying to fuck her and calling her his wife. After all, it was Jack in the armor and of course she’d be turned on by him in 17th century armor. Then she went out the door to see the rest of the castle only to find herself dressed in the same clothes the knight was supposed to be taking off her.
A little disappointing, to be honest, Knight!Jack had promised to go down on her and it’s been so long since Jack had his beard that long.
“Am I dreaming? I was just in the most beautiful cottage, and I was going to go outside to see Alfie and now I’m back here, wearing this!” Rose is still dazed from whatever she saw. “Where are we?”
“I have no fucking clue.” The witch answered wanting to know if she can go back to that fantasy she just left. Taking Rose’s hand to try something, she opens Rose’s door.
It is not the medieval cottage she’d described. This time they are in none other than the motherfucking Titanic. They don’t even have time to admire their beautiful clothes as they run behind Alfie hoping to get off the fucking boat.
But they can’t get on that boat, they came through a door and any door there would return them to dry land in the haunted hotel. In a moment of confusion, they leave Alfie Solomons and stumble out of the hotel room wearing the clothes of high society women in 1912.
If there was a way to keep them, Eva would do it in a heartbeat. Still, she throws the jewelry into the vase just in case.
“I hope the next one is in the modern world.” Jack complains as they walk back to the hall from the magical woodland they left.
They were dressed in fantasy-medieval-esque clothing, it was not the steel armor but the American’s breeches were a little too snug and he looked like fucking Fabio complete with long flowing locks while Alfie looked more comfortably dressed.
Alfie doesn’t change much; Jack just moments ago had a sick ass beard covered in his normal body hair and now he’s as smooth as a fucking dolphin.
“Next time Evie does her voodoo shit, I’m kicking the two of you out of my hotel.” Alfie stares at his hand in amazement considering he’d been bleeding sparkly red blood from the thrones because the door chucked him straight onto the thorns.
“That’s not my fault, your wife convinced her to do it.” The Bostonian points out missing his scruff and buzz cut. “Should’ve booked a normal hotel room when she wasn’t looking, could’ve been making Gina a cousin instead of trapped in fucking limbo.”
“When did Katie have a kid?” Alfie asks, thinking they’d somehow missed that thanks to the pandemic.
Jack had been wonderfully spared Laurie’s second wedding and only seen his and Caroline’s IVF journey whenever he was looking at their Instagram over Eva’s shoulder.
But of course, they had to meet the baby for the baptism ---Jack was the godfather because Laurie has no real friends--- and Eva had to bring up having one of their own. After all they were pestered by everyone about the topic and then Eva later brought it up knowing he’d agree to give it a try.
“Laurie, my half-brother in New York.” Jack clarified as they headed towards the next door.
The doors on the left were Jack’s, the doors on the right were Alfie’s, or so they figured after they walked into Alfie’s fantasy shit.
“The racist one?” the Jew asks having heard what a piece of shit Jack’s older brother is from Katie and Rose who met him once in New York.
“What other brother do I have?” Jack doesn’t bother hiding it anymore, Laurie always opened his trap and ruined every first impression anyways. “Hopefully baby Gina won’t take after him.”
They enter the door; Jack is dressed like Laurie and has more pomade in his hair than when grandpa dressed him for church on Sundays as a kid.
A tall blonde woman looking eerily like Carrie with Laurie’s bad vibes takes him by the arm and introduced him to an English couple and Ada Throne, Eva’s museum curator ex-girlfriend who happened to be Tommy Shelby’s sister. As if they hadn’t seen the fucker in Alfie’s past doors twice already.
Alfie’s swing at the man and shoves off the blonde woman beside him calling him slurs.
“Where did you even dig up this thing, uncle? I thought you wanted to fascists in your pocket?” Gina asks and Jack drags Alfie back out the door wondering where the fuck Eva was.
“Nazis! Your niece was introducing you to fucking Oswald Mosely and his bitch of a wife, Lady Hitler!” Alfie is breathing hard and reeling from what went on inside the room.
How do you even begin to explain that?
“Why do you have a crucifix?” the American points at the last thing he expected Alfred Solomons to have.
Alfie looks at the thing in confusion before tossing it as far away from him as he could.
“Cutest fucking baby I’ve seen. Makes me wanna have one.” Eva talks Rose’s ear off as they open the door to Eva’s side and reveal a horde of screaming kids at a birthday party and Jack nowhere to be found.
The witch shuts the door and opens it again several times hoping to change the scene. But it doesn’t and instead both women brace themselves because at least they can get cake out of this.
It’s loud, Eva’s being hugged by several children who look like her and Jack and the calendar says 1930.
She knows this place, it’s in Cape Cod and the home to the political family that shares her husband’s last name. And sure, Jack looks like the guy who bought it and sired seven influential people that included two presidents, but it shouldn’t mean they are the same fucking people.
For fuck's sake Eva’s family was related to them. Well, had a common ancestor, Eva is no blood relation to the Nelson family. Evita Nelson ---whom she’s named after--- was her great-grandfather, Francisco Riley’s, first cousin.
But there it is, a portrait of the family with Eva wearing the same locket she has on now. She hadn’t noticed that on every door they step through it never changes, like Rose’s ring.
“These are our past lives. The hotel isn’t haunted, it knows us.” The witch turns to her friend who looks at the ring on her hand coming to the same conclusion. “It’s trying to tell us.”
“We’re soulmates?” Rose asks her, not meaning them but meaning their two respective relationships. “Like born to find each other in every lifetime, like the movies?”
“Only one way to find out.” They leave the seaside manor and return to the hotel.
The rooms are in chronological order, starting with the Renaissance Era and now in the 1930s. Eventually they would reach the modern era, and this would fucking end on November 1st, All Soul’s Day.
“Have you noticed Rose wears the same ring and Eva the same locket?” Alfie asks having formed a new theory after they left a beach house in Margate where his ex-boyfriend shot him in the fucking face.
“Shelby appears half as much, I know the two of you fucked the prick, but that can’t mean he’s your soulmate.” Jack points out, as they take a break between doors.
Jack had gone to his and woken up in the same bed with Eva wearing nothing but the locket and teasing him for carving their names in the hotel’s bed.
It had been October 31, 1924.
Then he’d found himself appearing on a beach with Rose clutching to a barely breathing Alfie. Had Jack not hauled the injured man to his house, Alfie Solomons from the 21st century would’ve died in 1924.
“An eternal thorn in my side, then.” The Jewish man jokes and looks in the mirror to find his face whole. “How did you end up in Margate with me?”
“Opened the bathroom door at the Ritz-Carelton in 1924 to take a piss and ended up inside the house. Apparently in Halloween 1924, I came to London on business and carved our initials on the bed board drunk as hell.” The Boston native answered and looked at the clock, it was just a few minutes shy of midnight.
Before that door he’d been an Irish immigrant in New York coming home with the candleholder that fell from his hands and dented right where the one in the hotel had it. Alfie claimed there had been floating subtitles, but Jack used what little Gaelige he knew from his grandparents to get by.
But that made them figure out they’re moving towards the present from the past, and because it was getting closer to morning, they’d soon end up back in 2024.
“The distillery in 1919 became your hotel, in 1924 you sold it and moved to the wherever the fuck that beach was---” the American goes over what they’ve learned so far.
“Margate, where I got some of the things at a shop there.” Alfie supplied and added to the list, “Even Rose’s ring. Where did you buy the locket?”
“Antique shop in Boston, had our initials on the back. Jack Nelson, who I was named after, was from the South End too, had a wife named Eva, and now I’m thinking these may have been our past lives.” Now that he says it out loud it feels obvious. All of them had the same names ---except Martin Feeney--- come to think of it.
“If we weren’t stuck in this place, I would’ve told you, you’d lost it, Yankee.”
They tried to sleep and see if they woke up and yet the door tossed them in the 1980s where they look great as hell and are, apparently, anarchists.
Since the jewelry from the Titanic hadn’t disappeared ---even if Eva forgot about putting it there in the first place--- Eva tossed the lighter she took from biker!Jack to keep as a memento from this never-ending night. She had taken several things each time and ,with any luck, would get to take them all home.
“We should be getting to the end; our present selves would be born less than a decade after that.” Eva yawns and wonders how their guys are doing. She’d be surprised if they hadn’t killed each other yet.
“Have you noticed Tommy is in most of mine, and in that one from yours in the 20s?” Rose asks, worried that Tommy may be Alfie’s soulmate just as much as she is.
“Yep, I wish he weren’t, but I guess he is also part of this.” the witch didn’t feel like racking her brain about this, she was tired, she wanted Jack to make her feel small and safe and keep her from feeling cold in this fucking weather. You’d think she’d get used to the cold now that her permanent residence is in Boston, but Eva can’t live without her human space heater at night.
“Did you know he tried to bribe me to get me to leave him?” Rose admits and Eva shook her head even if it didn’t surprise her.
He had been married when they dated, his long-time friend and mother to his daughter. Eva liked him, liked his sadness and expressive eyes and when he told her he was divorced, she believed him. She’s not a homewrecker, she steers away from couples with open relationships because it never ends well for anyone, and her mother’s reputation has everyone believing Eva is exactly like her.
So, when she found out about Lizzie and all the men and women he fucked with no consideration for anyone’s feelings, Eva ended things with him and found Alfie stewing over a break up with the same fucking guy.
And now they were friends, so at least some good came out of that.
“I’m glad you didn’t take the money; Alfie deserved a happy ending.” The witch assures her Shelby’s presence doesn’t mean what the Englishwoman fears it does.
“And I’m happy you found your happy ending too.”
They wait for the antique clock to chime at midnight before trying the doors again. Hard to believe they’d only been gone one fucking hour.
And sure enough, the doors reveal their rooms exactly as they had left them earlier that night. They try them several times until both are satisfied, they won’t change before running downstairs to see if their drunk husbands are still sprawled on the floor.
Both men are awake and, surprisingly, not at each other’s throats.
“Evie, I will ban you from my fine establishment if you ever do this shit again.” Alfie swears, holding his head in his hands feeling the effects of the hangover he and Jack share.
The witch pays no mind to his threats, not when she has a vase full of trophies from their time traveling this past hour.
