#James-Sol rants

[succubus-hansol]

Okay so I absolutely love dom Hannie cause shiittt, that man is so versatile I can't.

Imagine him grinding down on your clothed cock and/or thighs just grunting and telling you how you're such a good boy for him, Letting him use you however he wants.

He's jerking you both off in his hands, Dicks slippery and deliciously sliding against each other. "You're such a good boy for me, Yeah" "You make me feel so good baby"

Sir SIR IF YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT IMMA COME DON'T TEST MEEE 🫣🥵🤤

His panting, omg. And reaching down to mark your neck then moving to your lips and just DEVOURING you, It's so messy and wet and ahh. Just the sound of your dicks in his hand rubbing and sliding and squelching is so fucking hot. Ji sits back up and spits on his hand to add to the wetness.

And holy shit he would love to face fuck you, He literally wouldn't shut up with his moans and praises ah he has his hands in your hair holding you still or moving your head on his cock. He'd wipe your tears away and then roughly thrust into your mouth.

ahm, excuse me, the horny jumped out 😳

@james-is-here this is your fault for that Jaist post 🙃😘

[james-is-here]

I need Jeongin to spit in my mouth, like gimmie 🫴🫴 I neeeed it

Imagine horny Innie kneeled on his bed naked, sitting back on his heels with his hand stroking his dick. He turns his head down and slowly spits on his dick 🥵 head thrown back with a groan as he rubs it into his pretty dick, tip red

🥵🥵🫠 sometimes I really hate myself

Don't know if you need a fic or just needed to say it but here's this cause I spiraled as well. 9th member reader.

I'm officially calling this 'James-Sol rants' so now we have a tag for our thoughts. 🥰

So I love your idea, but like he's doing it without your knowledge.

You've been busy all week and promised that at the end you'd help him but he's laying in bed, the week almost complete and he gets you tomorrow, and he's scrolling through his phone, coming across edits of you that people made of you performing. They've been cute, you hugging the members, doing aegyo, he laughed at one video a Stay posted of you having to kiss the members on the cheek and he found the disgust adorable because he knows that none of them hate your love.

Swiping up, an edit of your stage presence played with DanceRacha's 'Taste'. A clip of you during 'Hall of Fame' where you mimicked Chan's hand movements, a clip from 'Red Lights', and it kept going. His thoughts turned lewd and he was honestly mad at himself. He was doing so good, why now?

No, he won't disobey you. He'll be good. He switches to watching random stuff on youtube but he can't stop thinking of you in that video.

Suddenly, he's on his stomach, humping into the mattress but it's not enough. He sits up, kneeling on the bed and pulling down his sweats. He sighs at the lack of restraint on his dick, taking him into his hand as he sat back and thrusts into his closed fist.

He brings the collar of his hoodie between his teeth, moaning into the fabric and wetting it with a heavy amount of drool as he loses himself completely, only focusing on finally getting off.

He's so distracted that he doesn't hear you open the door. Doesn't hear you closing it and walking over to him. When he's aware of your presence it's when your chuckling darkly in his ear and fisting his hair to bring his head back.

"You know, if you would've waited you would know that I was gonna reward you early." He gasps, his hand stopping but you pull his hair harder. "Don't stop on my account." His hand shakily holds his cock and starts stroking himself again.

Okay, now here's where I spiraled because I don't usually do spitting but like 👀

You just stood there, watching his face and holding onto his hair, briefly rubbing away the sting from your grip but tightening when he slows down.

Bringing his head back fully, you tell him to open and he does, sticking out his tongue as you spit into his mouth. "Now spit." His eyes are wide and glossy as your grip loosens and he rolls his head, looking down at his cock and lets go of himself, gathering yours and his saliva at the tip of his tongue before opening his mouth.

It drips down the side onto his palm and he shutters, closing his fist again and smearing your combined spit all of his length. He throws his head back, his palm moving up to rub his angry, sensitive tip.

"Go faster, Innie baby. Make a mess." You mutter in his ear and he whines. "I-I can't...Hyung, p-please...please..." You only keep one hand in his hair but he needs you to touch him, he needs you to help him cum. "No, you can do it. You're so impatient to wait for me, you can finish without me. Go faster."

He whimpers as he listens, his strokes inconsistent but fast as you told him so. "Tighten your fist, baby." "Ah~!" He yelps when he does, his hold slick and tight and he doesn't notice the coil snap and he's cumming quick and hard.

You reach your free hand down, fisting his tip so the rest of his cum releases into you fist instead of on the sheets. Raising your hand, you straightened out his head. "Open." He parts his lips again and you shove your fingers into his mouth, pressing your fingers into his tongue and smearing his cum everywhere. When your fingers are clean, you remove them and hold out your palm. "Lick." He leans down, licking his cum off your palm.

When he's done you pull his head back again and kiss him, dominating his tongue and mouth, pulling a moan out of him as he leans into you.

"Now you're going to take what I give you...or I give you another week. Understand?" He nods, letting out a breathy moan. "Y-Yes, Hyung." You smile, kissing his forehead. "Good boy, Innie."

Landcaster Legacy Gen 7 Update #57

Dear Diary, I'm glad Lacy is back, my mom set up a therapy appointment for her today. I think it will be good for her to talk to someone. Meanwhile, I have a shift at the boba shop that I'm not looking forward to, but afterwards Sage and I have a date so that'll be fun. -Violet

"Alright, Lacy, why don't you start by telling me a bit about yourself," began Dr. James. "What do you care?" "I care, because I want to help you work through all the hard feelings you have right now. In order to do that I need to know a bit about you first." "This is bullshit."

"Please, how would you know what's going to help me?" "I am a licensed therapist," Dr. James reminded her. "My life is so complicated, you wouldn't know what to do with it," Lacy rolled her eyes. "I did get a degree in 'it's complicated'" Dr. James joked. "So, try me?"

"Violet," called Tiffany, her manager. "I want to introduce you to someone. This is Claudia." "H-hi," Claudia said. "She's a bit shy, but since Owen is off to college, I've hired her to be his replacement. I need you to train her today." "Do I get paid more for training?"

"I mean can you even believe that she just runs away in the middle of the night. It was so irresponsible of her," Violet ranted. "Ummm," Claudia was at a loss for words. "She was gone for a week, a WEEK, and we didn't hear anything. My mom got the police involved."

"So, um, how do I use the boba machine?" Claudia quietly asked. She wanted to get Violet back on track. "You aren't going to tell me how annoying I'm being? Or insult me for being self-centered and only talking about myself." "No?" "Owen would," Violet sighed.

"You want me to insult you?" "No, I hate Owen," Violet told Claudia. "He was so unbelievably annoying." "I'm confused, can we just go back to you teaching me how to make the drinks?" "Like he ALWAYS acted like he was better than me, oh my watcher I can't stand him."

"Honestly, him graduating and going off to college was great for me, because now I don't have to deal with him anymore." "It sounds like you miss him." "I do not!" Violet snapped. "Not at all." "But you keep talking about him." "I do not." "Okay, um, so how do I make the drinks?"

Lacy sighed, if she had to be here for the next hour why not participate. "I guess it started with my mother. She wanted me to be just like her. The expectations that she put on me were just too much. I felt suffocated living with her." "And what about your father?"

"He just went along with whatever my mother did," Lacy explained. "I don't even think they really loved each other; it seemed like marriage was more transactional for them. Have kids, carry on the legacy. They never listed to what I wanted." "I'm glad you told me all of this."

As Lacy continued to talk with Dr. James, Violet headed to the pier, after her shift ended, for her date with Sage. "Guess what!" Sage exclaimed. "What?" "I got accepted to Britechester!" "Y-you did? I didn't know you were thinking about college."

"Well yeah, I want to be a music critic, and the first step to that is studying art history at Britechester," Sage explained. "I even got into the distinguished program." "I kind of thought we'd make music together, in Del Sol Valley, at least after you ditched Janie."

"I thought we'd start our own band," Violet admitted. "Oh," Sage muttered. "Look, you're an amazing musician, you don't need me. The main reason I even joined Janie's band was because I was new and wanted to make friends. I'm not as passionate about performing as you are."

"But what about us, after graduation?" "We can still date," Sage assured her. "I mean look at your brother and Nat, they aren't letting distance ruin their relationship." "You're right." "We can visit each other on weekends, it'll be fun. Like a little vacation every week."

Both girls stood up and Sage took Violet's hands. "I promise, we'll make it work. I like you too much for us to break up." Sage kissed Violet's hands. "That's a relief," Violet laughed. "Here I thought we were on the verge of becoming just friends." "Never."

[littlx-songbxrd]

I seem to have this memory of you ranting about the personality database, and BOY do I agree with you.

The tda ones are a mess! An absolute mess! they had Julian typed as a nine! A NINE???!! LIKE WTF??? Thst makes no sense??? He is the exact opposite of passive. This man will start a war without even blinking. AND IT GETS WORSE OMG.

They had Jaime typed as A TWO! A FREAKING TWO. LIKE WTF????

This man is notoriously selfish and is not a nurturer no offense to him. Like Emma as an 8 I get although I think three fits her better. But this was inexcusable.

And Kit as a six like you said doesn't work? He's not a group person or a community person. He is very much a "I need to figure shit out on my own" person. At least they had Ty typed correctly but that's super easy.

I give up 🙃🙃

Oh

So youre ready to join the revolution against personality data base with me and @eugeniaslongsword

I think half my conversations with sol go along the lines of "burn the site". It is traumatizing and mistypes characters so badly and it PHYSICALLY HURTS, sPECIALLY when its like characters you have deep emotional connections to and know inside out and suddenly they just, they just *screams*

I'LL SPEAK ABOUT MY LATEST FIXIATION BUT THE FACT RAINE WHISPERS FROM TOH IS TYPED AS A 6 HURTS ME. LIKE DEEP EMOTIONAL PHYSICAL PAIN. Their entire arc is about people choosing security for them, and them showing over and over theyd rather do whats right than be secure. Their story is about destroying tyrany from the inside and puting evetything in the line for the good of their world. To restore morality.

I have never seen SUCH a 1 character yet since they were shown to have social anciety ONCE everyones like definetly 6

THEY DONT EVEN VALUE SECURITY-

DONT TALK TO ME ABOUT THE HEARTSTOPPER CHARACTERS GET THEM AWAY TAO IS THE MOST 2 CHARACTET TO EXIST WHY WOULD YOU TYPE HIM AS 6??? AND CHARLIE AS 6 THATS A NINE THATS A NINE THATS A -

In tlh sense Mathew as a seven is a SIN

IDK WHERE THEY SAW JAMES "repressing" HIS AMGER BUT THAT BITCH DID NOT GO ALL TOXIC MORAL SUPERIORITY ON ANYONE WHO ISNT HIS FRIENDS FOR.YOU TO MAKE HIM A 9 LIKE WTF HOW-

Two cordelia is gonna kill me, so is 6 kamala

EVERYTHING ABOUT TDA MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY HOW CAN THEY MISINTERPRET THEM THIS BADLY WHERE THE ACTUAL FUCK DID THEY GET 9 JULIAN FROM THIS MAN WOULD START A WAR FOR HIS FAMILIES SAFETY

six kit makes me sick

TWO JAIME

M A T A ME

This enture site makes me sick abolish it joim the resistence the rebellion follow @watchingtheunivereeexpand FOR ACCURATE EMNEAGRAM ANALYSIS

[oh-phineas]

songs to steal a train to: a district 3 playlist (alternate title: i really, really like trains)

1. Sleep on the Floor by the Lumineers 2. King of the Road (She and Him cover) 3. Hard Travelin’ by Mandolin Orange 4. On the Road Again by Willie Nelson 5. I’ve Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash 6. Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen 7. Atlantic City by The Band 8. Married in a Gold Rush by Vampire Weekend 9. Truckin’ by The Grateful Dead 10. Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan 11. California by Joni Mitchell 12. Carolina In My Mind by James Taylor

1. Sleep on the Floor by the Lumineers

If the sun don't shine on me today And if the subways flood and bridges break Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave Or will you rail against your dying day

This felt like a good place to start! It literally starts with telling someone to go pack lol. And it’s all about leaving behind expectations for you and pursuing adventure, using a sort of apocalypse motif. Felt very fitting.

2. King of the Road (She and Him Cover)

I know every engineer on every train All of the children and all of their names Every handout in every town Every lock that ain't locked when no one's around

Now THAT’S what I call a train song!!! Hell yeah!! I love the nostalgia for this song and its sort of nursery rhyme quality. It sounds like the kind of thing you play on the harmonica while you ride the rails. Good stuff.

3. Hard Travelin’ by Mandolin Orange

Well that whiskey'll never hold you like a good girl can When the nights get lonely it can be your only friend Hard traveling down the road I'm feeling bad boys, I'm feeling low I'm feeling bad boys, I'm feeling low

Can you tell I’m listening to one artist and one artist only during this AU lol. But yeah I think this song is all about how lonely life on the road can be, and ya know I thiiink our lil gang of rebels will be okay (looking at you, Selene/Sol and Kitsune/Siren 😉And we all know this is classic Simber). But it’s just a vibe and I bet some people ARE lonely in the legion!!!

4. On the Road Again by Willie Nelson

We're the best of friends Insisting that the world keep turning our way And our way Is on the road again I just can't wait to get on the road again

Alright this isn’t really PLOT relevant but you can’t have a road trip playlist without this song. Like King of the Road, it’s a real harmonica on the railroad type song. And it’s got a hopeful quality that I think is important!

5. I’ve Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash

I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road, When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load. "If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride." And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside. He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand. And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"

This song is just silly and fun. I hope everyone sings along on the ride to Enchantra. Love the vibe of just people giving each other rides across the country to seek adventure. 

6. Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

The highways jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the run tonight But there's no place left to hide Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh, someday girl, I don't know when We're gonna get to that place Where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun But till then, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run

This is incredibly self-indulgent and doesn’t really fit the vibe of the playlist. But COME ON!!! This song awakens something in my SOUL. Especially this last part. Love u Bruce Springsteen xoxo

7. Atlantic City by The Band

Well, I got a job and I put my money away But I got the kind of debts that no honest man can pay So I drew out what I had from the Central Trust And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

This also is more about vibes than plot relevance. Society has rejected you. You have no money. Your relationship is kind of failing, but you really need to not be all alone. So what do you do? FLEE THE STATE! I’m not saying Enchantra = Atlantic City but... idk maybe I am

8. Married in a Gold Rush by Vampire Weekend

Something's happening in the country And the government's to blame We got married in a gold rush And the rush has never felt the same

Shared a moment in a café Shared a kiss in pouring rain We got married in a gold rush And the sight of gold will always bring me pain

I feel like this song can be for disillusioned Victors. This society raised you up and rewarded you with riches, but you’re left with all this pain and trauma. And you don’t know what to do with that, so you run away. Everything you were promised isn’t really what you hoped for. Everything that glitters... isn’t gold!

9. Truckin’ by The Grateful Dead

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me Other times, I can barely see Lately, it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been

I love this song for a road trip. It’s got everything: long, rambling guitar solos and lyrics about being on the run from the law and a very long story about various towns. I think being in the Legion can feel like that, after many years. Being on the run in general. A loooong strange trip.

10. Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan

How does it feel, how does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home A complete unknown, like a rolling stone

This song to me is for all the rich kids/Capitol kids/Career district kids who defected. And might feel a little in over their heads. They feel idealistic about joining the cause, but they have no idea what real hardship is like. How DOES it feel???!

11. California by Joni Mitchell

Oh it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers All the news of home you read Just gives you the blues

I just thought after Bob’s angry rant it might be nice to have a sweet chill song about homesickness. Because that’s for real. But Enchantra might also be California. The promise of a new life and a new home. And I just love Joni’s voice in this.

12. Carolina In My Mind by James Taylor

Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling Geese in flight and dogs that bite Other signs that might be omens say I'm going, going I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Ending on a mellow note. Maybe you didn’t make it to Enchantra. But you’re still dreaming of a better life. That things can be different. This one’s for all the people the Legion lost. And for hope! This song makes me emo sjkfaalsfh

That’s all! Hope you enjoyed ur ride

The point of view... (MCU story)

The dark eyes of her child looked sleepy, but the request for the rest of the story was repeated again. She shushed the youngling with a touch and sat back.

“So the wrongness of the deed of the demonic Thanos reached far and wide in the universe, taking the great and the small away without reason or rule. There were societies falling and planets ruined and there were worlds that flourished despite despair. There were people lost in space and there were many victims of accidents that could have been avoided. Let us sit in silence now and consider the loss that touched every living being.”

The child watched her without interrupting as she took thirty cleansing, meditating breaths.

“But the actions of the Mad Titan, destroying the lives of so many, had not been explained to all at the time. Only a small group of beings had the knowledge of how these acts came to be committed, and of that small group, most were taken away by the Dust. The remaining ones could not find their way to each other for days, some nearly perishing in process. Of these, one was a powerful prince of technology and power, and he had suffered greatly, losing his child and heir in the Dust. He grieved and lived in pain, until a hope of salvation shone. The moment he was given a chance to undo the terrible disasters, he faced the challenge bright-eyed and ready to act, and due to his work and inventions we have recovered all the ones that had been lost to us in the Dust. One of his companions was wounded and he was injured when doing away with the forces of Thanos’ army, sacrificing his life to remove the last remnants of the terrible Children of Thanos from this universe.”

She looked at the young one - still soft and undefined and childish, and prayed for the soul and thoughts of the great Tonystark who had remade the time itself in search for his heir. She understood. She would have done the same for her little one.

She sat straight again and looked at the third moon. It would be setting soon, and she still had work to do.

####

“...the Defiant stood against our Lord and Defender, the saintly Thanos, and used the very holiest symbol of the universe, the Snap, to remove the last trace of His Blessing from their little, undeserving planet. We pray now, to remember every warrior for justice that had fallen to the unjust power wielded by the wrong hand in that battle.”

“We pray,” the choir of first-year clerics answered.

“In telling of this story, and only in this telling, I will say the name of the Defiant aloud. This is the only proper, correct and just way. We do not celebrate the name of Defiant, we do not mention it, we do not grant it power. We call them with their designation and this is the only day in the year that you will hear me say it. Be still and be quiet. Hear the name of the Defiant, the destroyer of hope, the insignificant worm of a human who had destroyed the armies of just universe for a foolish whim of a parent who could not bear to lose a child.”

“We hear!”

“Hear now, the name of Anthony Stark, the son of Howard, born on Earth, which is the third planet of Sol System. Hear it now and remember, if you every meet any living being that will admit they knew him, slay them and be merciful, let them join the ones who will not suffer anymore.”

“We remember!!!”

####

“...the worst case of theatrical buffonade ever, and I mean, ever. He stood up in the bloody middle of the battleground and I felt my heart stop for a moment.”

“Uncle!”

“That’s what happened, I’m not kidding. And he stood there and all i could think of was ‘That’s one large sonovagun’ because Thanos was like twice his size. And the purple bugger got up again and started talking, a typical villain rant. And what he did? Just shut him up in three words.”

“You have to be fair,” young Anto yawned. “He was pretty awesome.”

“Yeah, kiddo,” James Rhodes straightened his legs. “He was plenty awesome.”

“Uncle Jamie?” Eddie rolled to his side on his bed. “Is it true that Grandpa invented time travel?”

“Yes. In order to get your Dad back into our world. Well, mostly. Mainly. Anyway, your Dad was the best inspiration your Grandpa had ever found, and the fact that we got everyone back where they were supposed to be is only because Tony could not stand to be parted with your Dad. The day he was shown any chance for us to undo that sh-- mess, he jumped in, both legs, and helped us fix everything.”

“But he died doing it, and that’s why we will never meet him.”

He looked up at Vinia, sitting in the doorway on the couch cushion.

“Come here, girl,” he picked up his goddaughter and patted her back. “Yes, he died. He died because he decided that all these people deserved being saved from Thanos forever. Uncle Bruce brought them back, but he is a tough bas-- big man, what with the green option and all, but Grandpa was just a regular, non-powered human being, so the Stones were too strong for him. He knew it, but he knew that nobody would be able to do that, so--” he trailed off, hiding his face in the mass of wild curls on Vinia’s head.

“I wish I could have met him.”

“So do I, my girl. So do I. He would have loved the three of you.”

####

“...twisted the space-time continuum in a fashion that is still affecting the stability of our very existence. We need to reconnect the fabric of reality to smooth over these bumps or we will be suffering the consequences for years to come.”

“He was justified in his actions.”

“You are only saying this because you liked the boy as well.”

Stephen Strange ran his fingers through his mane of silver hair.

“Yes, I liked him -- I still like him -- but that was not why I think he was justified. He removed one of the greatest threats to all interplanetary stability...”

“You liked the kid.”

“OK, fine. I liked the kid. So sue me.”

For Zoey Shepard: Sol System, Nebula, Stars and Comet.

Stars: Who is your Shepard’s LI? Garrus. Hah. She never thought she would fall for a Turian, but Garrus… Garrus is special. There is no one who gives her the feeling to be save like he does, there is no one she trusts that much and where she is able to show her fears. Zoey always feel like she has to be strong for herself and everyone else but with Garrus? Everything feels so easy. Also both share the … bend the rules-opinion, which makes them to the perfect duo. He has just to be careful because while Garrus is a Sniper, Zoey rather jumps at her enemies to deliver them a biotic-blue-glowing fist into their face.One time Zoey told him that she would even love him if he would be a Vorcha and now Garrus believes that humans have a really weird way to show their feelings.Nebula: Who is your Shepard’s best friend? Joker. Oh god, Zoey never grow in the act-like-a-Soldier-stuff so it’s good that someone is one the ship who just says what is in his mind – because she does the same thing with her lovely kid-of-the-streets-charm. Stupid jokes, ranting together about the politic or just simple hanging out – Zoey loves it. She loves him. Like the brother she never had. There are not many people she would be ready to die for, the life on the street showed her pretty fast that you can’t save everyone. But she was ready to die for him. She died for him and even when she says that she wouldn’t do this again, she knows it better.Now they annoy the crew with stupid zombie jokes. Later she also become really close with Jack and James but none of them has the ‘Joker-level’.Sol System: What is your Shepard’s class, background, military history? Class: Biotic asshole. Eeeeh Vanguard. Background: Earth-Born. I set her Birthyear some years earlier than canon so she stayed until 22 in the Gang of the Reds. She enjoyed it. Probably more than everyone should know. In the end the main reason she joined the Alliance was because Anderson gave her this as option beside of prison. .. but she doesn’t regret it (as long she doesn’t have to deal with the council..)Military History: War-Hero. Zoey was always stubborn as fuck so you could bet your ass that she wouldn’t give up against the batarians. She probably didn’t it for the other people – she was just not ready to let this bastards win. Comet: What is your Shepard’s sexuality? Like she cares. She never thought a lot about it. Probably pan.

Don Imus, Radio Host Who Pushed Boundaries, Dies at 79

Mr. Imus got his first radio job in 1968 at KUTY, in Palmdale, Calif., but switched to KJOY in Stockton, where he was fired for saying “hell” on the air. At KXOA in Sacramento, he called a restaurant, posed as a sergeant and ordered 1,200 hamburgers to go, for his troops. The Federal Communications Commission slapped his wrist, but the gag was a hit with listeners. Billboard magazine named him disc jockey of the year for medium-size markets. By 1970, he was with WGAR in Cleveland.In 1971, Mr. Imus moved to WNBC in New York and launched “Imus in the Morning.” It was an overnight sensation, and he was soon doing stand-up comedy in clubs and cutting albums. One album was “1,200 Hamburgers to Go,” and another featured his satirical character, the Right Rev. Dr. Billy Sol Hargus, a radio evangelist who was a cross between the TV preacher Billy James Hargis and the fertilizer swindler Billie Sol Estes. In 1981, he published a novel, “God’s Other Son,” which offered more Hargus tales. Reprinted in 1994, it was a best seller.Mr. Imus was fired by WNBC in a format change in 1977 and returned to Cleveland, but by 1979 he was back with WNBC, mixing music, talk and parody. In 1988, WNBC was sold to Emmis Broadcasting, which kept “Imus in the Morning” among the sports programming on WFAN. The show became nationally syndicated in 1993, and in 1996 MSNBC began simulcasting it.In the ’70s and ’80s, Mr. Imus led a rock-star life and battled alcoholism and cocaine addiction. He worried about getting attacked and carried a licensed pistol. He sometimes missed work, and his health problems became apparent. There were rants. He ran around at work in his shorts and threw money on sidewalks. He went into rehabilitation in 1987 and returned sober. But in 1992 a lung collapsed. In 2000 he fell from a horse, breaking ribs and a collarbone and collapsing another lung.His program became more political in the 1990s, with members of Congress, presidential candidates and journalists as guests. Many were abused on the air. In 1996, at the correspondents’ dinner in Washington, he insulted President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who were there; he later referred to it as “The Speech From Hell.” His behavior led to lawsuits, many of them settled out of court, though he was indemnified by employers.

Hamilton High School AU!

A/N: I'm so excited for this! With every person’s headcanon there's a little something about me too!

Request: no one asked for this, but did that stop me from writing it? No

Let's start with Aaron because he is me

He freaks out about his grades. He checks them three times a day. Minimum.

He once tried to go the whole winter break without checking his grades.

Spoiler alert: he lasted for three hours

One time he got a 69 on a math test

He freaked

He started looking up McDonald's applications and told all his friends that he could kiss his dreams of college goodbye

I actually did this. He actually did this.

He's also in debate club

Him and Alexander argue the whole time every single meeting

Student Body President

The other members have renamed it “The HamiltonBurr Discourse Club”

Let's do Eliza next, shall we?

She's in chorus and she outshines everyone

She auditioned for District Chorus and got in of course

She has the hugest crush on Alexander and none of friends know why

She has straight A’s

She packs her lunch strategically

Her sandwiches are always perfectly cut

she has her carrots and hummus in a container that looks like this

she always puts a napkin on the table and on her lap

All the teachers love her

Got all her community service hours done her freshman year

She's that girl that's so perfect you just wanna punch her but you can't because she's so kind

Let’s give it up for the baddest female in town, Angelica Schuyler 

No one messes with Angelica Schuyler

She eats fuckboys for breakfast

She's in Social Justice Club

She got kicked out of history class for saying, “America is a hierarchical structure that was built by sexist white men.”

And let's just say they definitely had something to say to talk about in the next Social Justice meeting

Also got kicked out of English class the next week for saying, “Well, excuse me for thinking that we should read books by a variety of authors not just old, dead white men!”

I love her. She's my hero

I'm not even going in any specific order at this point, so I'm going to talk about Gwash!!!

He's the sexy math teacher that everybody wants

He wears button ups and rolls up his sleeves,,, and,,,, his hands,,, they’re so big and,,,,I,,,, lost all ability to for,m sentences,,,,

He's clueless to the fact that everybody wants him

“Wow class! I've never had such a big turnout for after school SAT prep!1!1!”

Poor baby, he's clueless, protect him, okay?

Calls Alexander son

Next up, my sweet sunshine, my cinnamon roll, my curly haired freckled faced cutie, JOHN LAURENS!!

He's in Social Justice Club too

He loves to doodle !!!

He's gotten so many points taken off for classwork for doodling on the side of them

His binders are filled Polaroids of his friends and pictures of sloths

Common misconception: his favorite animal isn’t turtles; it's sloths!!!

He's notorious for taking naps in class???

“John what's the answer to number 6?”

“Uh, y=7x-8”

“John, this is Spanish class.”

Yeah,,,he never lived that down

Thomas motherfucking Jefferson

He's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs

He packs Mac and cheese with ketchup 3 out of 5 days of the school week

Shows up to class late

Goes on random tangents in Debate Club and ends them with

“And if you don't know, now you know.”

Never goes anywhere without his sidekick/echo/lap dog James Madison

Theatre nerd

“Today I'll be performing a monologue for A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare.”

Then continues to recite the monologue until the teach interrupts and says,

“Young man, I asked for your name.”

Starts speaking in French for no reason at random times,,,,,????

“Mr. Jefferson, answer the question in English or go see Mr. Seabury in the office.”

“Peu importe.”

Complains about school but is getting all A’s

Yay! Time for Maria!

She's super introverted

She writes poetry and music and sits in the chorus room during lunch to focus

She writes like she's running out of time

She can sing her ass off

Always afraid that she's going to get the answer wrong but always ends up getting it right

She is quiet, but she's definitely judging you

She very shy and gets intimidated very easily

Angelica always stands up for her

Lafayette! Ladies! Lafayette!

Uses his French accent to get what he wants

Also uses French to confuse people

He's sort of a rebel??

“Laf, we can't make out in the dressing rooms!”

“Shhhh, you worry too much.”

Is also a theatre nerd

Is the only person getting an A+ in AP French

throws raging parties when his parents aren't home

Despite his rebel ways, he's getting straight A's

And Peggy, of course!

Went through a phase in middle school where she wore headgear

They called her metal mouth even when she got it off

She hit her glow up freshman year and every guy was throwing

themselves at her

She's the person who finds the quizlet for the whole test online

Then people are asking how she got an A on the hardest test of the year

She'll never tell

She's in theatre and she always end up in the ensemble even though she deserves a starring role

Also in district chorus

Eats in the middle of class????

They’ll be taking a test and all you hear is a bag crumpling

She once brought peanut butter crackers and started coughing up a lung because they were so dry and got caught in her throat

help her

B rahhh B rahhh it’s Hercules Mulligan

Is the king of Home Ec

Knitted all his teachers scarves for Christmas

Looks like a jock but is really a big softie

A model student™

Hates math class with every fiber of his being

 Tutors people for fun

And last, and definitely least: Alexander Hammy Ham

If Mr. Washington calls him son one more time he's going to wild out

His spam account on Instagram is mostly rants about Mr. Washington

Don't let this fool you...he loves Mr. Washington

Turns Debate Club meetings into rap battles

Incapable of answering a question without going on a tangent

“Mr. Hamilton we get it. Please, sit down.”

Laughs at Burr for freaking out over his grades but also freaks out about his grades

Oblivious to the fact that Eliza likes him

Only eats nachos from the cafeteria

Has his name displayed on the “Perfect SOL Score Wall” multiple times

Hates Shakespeare with a burning passion

smarter than most of the teachers

Don Imus, Radio Host Who Pushed Boundaries, Dies at 79

Mr. Imus got his first radio job in 1968 at KUTY, in Palmdale, Calif., but switched to KJOY in Stockton, where he was fired for saying “hell” on the air. At KXOA in Sacramento, he called a restaurant, posed as a sergeant and ordered 1,200 hamburgers to go, for his troops. The Federal Communications Commission slapped his wrist, but the gag was a hit with listeners. Billboard magazine named him disc jockey of the year for medium-size markets. By 1970, he was with WGAR in Cleveland.

In 1971, Mr. Imus moved to WNBC in New York and launched “Imus in the Morning.” It was an overnight sensation, and he was soon doing stand-up comedy in clubs and cutting albums. One album was “1,200 Hamburgers to Go,” and another featured his satirical character, the Right Rev. Dr. Billy Sol Hargus, a radio evangelist who was a cross between the TV preacher Billy James Hargis and the fertilizer swindler Billie Sol Estes. In 1981, he published a novel, “God’s Other Son,” which offered more Hargus tales. Reprinted in 1994, it was a best seller.

Mr. Imus was fired by WNBC in a format change in 1977 and returned to Cleveland, but by 1979 he was back with WNBC, mixing music, talk and parody. In 1988, WNBC was sold to Emmis Broadcasting, which kept “Imus in the Morning” among the sports programming on WFAN. The show became nationally syndicated in 1993, and in 1996 MSNBC began simulcasting it.

In the ’70s and ’80s, Mr. Imus led a rock-star life and battled alcoholism and cocaine addiction. He worried about getting attacked and carried a licensed pistol. He sometimes missed work, and his health problems became apparent.

There were rants. He ran around at work in his shorts and threw money on sidewalks. He went into rehabilitation in 1987 and returned sober. But in 1992 a lung collapsed. In 2000 he fell from a horse, breaking ribs and a collarbone and collapsing another lung.

His program became more political in the 1990s, with members of Congress, presidential candidates and journalists as guests. Many were abused on the air.

Okay I know smoking is a bad habit (And thats coming from an addict lol) but the though of Felix smoking makes my brain fuzzy.

His tiny hands holding the lighter up to his lips to light his cigarette and then grasping it between his short fingers is so ahejfwioei.

Him blowing the smoke back into your face with a smirk? Just kill me now my lord

[james-is-here]

Since you asked so nicely 😘

Seungmins body is so perfect, we all agree right? His soft body, toned and tight skin stretched along his stomach, long abdomen that leads into his beautiful hip bones, bruises still visible but fading.

Now get fucking ready bois

This, Seung loves the feeling of the rope against his delicate skin. Sometimes he just does a simple chest tie under his clothes to feel the gentle rub. Feeling dizzy as you take in his beauty giving him praise, he's just a dumb pup after all 🤷‍♂️

If you've never seen a man wrapped in rope, presented all pretty, you're missing out 🫠

I- You- 🫠 Ugh I don't know whether to scream or melt, oh my god, here's horny words thrown together.

I don't even know where to start like-

His skin would still be sensitive as the bruise on his hips still heal...

He'd have fading hickeys that were once blooming red or purple all over his body...

and maybe when he's getting dressed for stage or interview or I wouldn't put it past him if he was just going out that he calls for you to come to his room or wherever he's getting dressed, presenting you a red rope and you smirk, tying the rope around his chest and he's gasping a whimpering at the rough texture.

Boy loves having his skin ruined.

Throughout the day, if you're with him, or throughout the concert or interview, you occasionally see him inhale sharply and close his eyes for a moment as the rope rubs against his skin and his nipples.

One day you tied him like the middle photo while he was changing for a concert and tied his biceps to the knots on either side of his belly button so every time he moved his arms, he pulled the rope into his crotch as well as his embarrassingly hard cock.

He's heavily hoping it's not obvious to anyone else.

After, you avoid him constantly, always trying to keep away from him and he pouts every time. Eventually he gets you to finally notice him when you guys get home, he pushes you onto the bed and pins you down, asking why you're avoiding him.

"I'm needy as hell and I really need you, please." He grinds down onto your lap, the ropes digging into his crotch and scratching his skin. "My dumb puppy, can only think about the next time he'll get stuffed with my cock." He whines, nodding and grinding into your lap faster. "You're just a dumb horny puppy, is that right?" "Y-Yes, j-just your d-dumb horny pup, o-only want your cock, please..."

You flip over, laying him on his back and removing his shirt and untying his biceps from his pelvis before flipping him over, bringing his arms parallel to the other and moving the rope to his elbows. The rope is wide enough from his biceps that you put his wrists through them, tightening the loop then tying the excess rope around his forearms so his arms are bound behind his back, leaving some excess to connect his arms to his lower back after you lift his ass up.

He's now in a forced doggy style, drooling onto the sheets as you man handle him further onto the bed.

You had a feeling you'd end up fucking him so you're lucky you made him wear assless boxers so you didn't have to deal with the ropes. After pulling his pants off, you pull down the waistband of his boxers just enough to reveal the tip of his angry, dripping cock.

"Gonna fuck you dumber, Puppy. Gonna give you all my cock." He moans into the sheets, his hands fisting on his back as he wiggles his ass slightly.

You undo your pants, pulling yourself out and stroking a couple times before you push yourself into his needy hole, he yelps with a moan at the sudden intrusion then lets out an drawn out moan, letting out a noise every time you thrust into him deeply, hard, quick, his body rocking forward when your hips meet his, the rope rubbing on his chest on the mattress.

Every time he tries to lift his arms, it pulls the rope around his waist and presses into his sensitive cock. You move his legs into the frogs pose, legs spread wide and flat on the mattress as you hover over him and fuck faster into his hole, punching his prostate dead on with every thrust and his body still jolts but now being flat on the mattress every thrust moves the ropes more aggressively as the mattress pushed the rope into his chest and cock.

You fuck into him faster, reaching up and placing one hand on his arms attached to his back and the other in his hair to grip and pull him up. "You're nothing but a cock hungry dumb puppy, isn't that right?" His answer is a moan, struggling to get words out as you literally fuck him dumb. "That's right you are, you're close, huh? Getting close from being manhandled and tied up?"

Oh, babe, I don't know where this next part came from but I love it and I hope you do to.

"What if I tied you up and presented you to the boys, huh? You'd love that wouldn't you? Getting fucked dumb and bred by all of us? A little puppy only meant for breeding and getting his hole stuffed, maybe even his mouth?" He's choking out a moan and cumming on the sheets below him, tightening around your length.

"Fuck, you would like that. Tied up with nowhere to go and ready for the boys to use you? Maybe some of them use your cock as well? You'd love being a free use Puppy, wouldn't you?" You get out through gritted teeth as your hips still and you cum deep inside him.

They after care I can picture is SO fucking sweet cause although you love seeing him tied up, the red marks on his skin still worry you and your gently tracing over the marks and holding him tightly but he reassures you every time that he loves when his skin is ruined. Makes him feel good when he sees the marks cause he sees it as marks of your love. He knows you could never actually hurt him and every new mark just reminds him of how that mark came to be, how much you love him and how much he loves and trusts you.

Oh, and don't you dare think I forgot, he'd be 100% down for free use, he's a cock whore and besides you he wouldn't want to take any other cock other than his members.

Can't blame him either. I mean, come on...the members are hot, what can I say...

Pau, my first cell leader. thank u for always listening, for being part of my healing and introducing the church to me. alam kong paulit ulit na ako pero *insert pic of me na naiiyak na* ang laki ng nagbago sa life ko simula ng maging leader kita, ever since na inintroduce mo sakin ang concept of God, nag iba talaga lahat.

30 Days of Pride: June 8, 2017

Last night, Sebastian & I went to a screening of Milk at Landmark’s E-Street Cinema, featuring a live Q&A with Dustin Lance Black, who wrote the screenplay for the film & who had flown over from the UK for the event. Jealousy & ignorance work shockingly well together: all I knew about Dustin is that he’s married to Tom Daley, so that made me not like him. [Also, to be almost 43 & to look the way he does? I don’t know how much plastic surgery or how many hours at the gym go into that, but he looks younger than I do.] But I misjudged: he delivered a fantastic, inspiring Q&A, & is a very important, outspoken voice for our community. 

I have generally tried to be well-researched & decently succinct, informative, & eloquent throughout the first week of this series of 30 Days of Pride writings, but today I sort of just want to rant, about straight voices in queer cinema. 

Sean Penn & James Franco, both of whom star as gay characters in Milk, are straight. Sean Penn won an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in 2009 for it, & his work in the film is incredible. His characterization of Harvey is cute, fiery, endearing, quirky, & loud, all of the things that I would want to see Harvey Milk characterized as. Did the film lose any authenticity by casting straight men to play gay characters? Maybe not. But should it have cast gay men to play themselves? Maybe. 

I have gotten into brief arguments with people about this before, people who are always very quick to say, “Well, that’s why it’s called acting, it doesn’t matter if they’re gay or straight!” I also have people not-so-gently remind me of instances like Neil Patrick Harris playing roles like Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. But much more often, you’ve got the opposite: roles that are just ridiculous [like Sam Waterston & Martin Sheen in Grace & Frankie] being played by straight actors. You cannot truly tell me, even for a second, that they were the best people for those roles. I do not even sort of believe that Sol & Robert, respectively, left their wives for each other. There’s no reason those roles couldn’t have gone to gay actors.

See, the roles that are being written for us aren’t being played by us, & the roles that are being written don’t often serve as more than a fetishization, subplot, or punchline. It’s a matter of representation. Yes, it’s acting, people will love to fire back the argument that anyone should be able to play any part: should only drug addicts play drug addicts? Should only pirates play pirates? Should only firefighters play firefighters? Of course that’s unrealistic. It’s also not the same. Anyone can learn to be a firefighter, but being a part of this community isn’t something you can adequately “learn” or “study.” For the few roles representing LGBTQIA+ folks that actually exist, it would be nice for this community to see those roles played by people like us; by people who won’t say it’s “uncomfortable & not that fun” or that they need to drink “a half case of beer” before filming; by people who know the story they’re trying to tell [people like Laverne Cox in Orange is the New Black]. Yes, it’s fantastic that our stories are being told at all, but at the same time, it feels a little bit cheapened when they’re not told by us. To then have these straight actors being praised, being told how brave they are for acting these parts? It feels cheap. They’re praised & told they’re brave for acting a role that they can take off when they go home. We, the people who actually live those roles, are still fighting for the world to acknowledge that we exist.

Last night, Dustin Lance Black made an explicit point to reiterate the importance of bridging gaps through storytelling. We should be allowed to tell our own stories.

Ron Garmon, Harlan Ellison: Everything is Awful, LA Record (Sept. 24, 2012)

Ron Garmon: Pulling a Train consists of several of your early men’s magazine crime stories published as Sex Gang under the pseudonym Paul Merchant back in 1959. Though you make no such claim, this volume could be the latest serious rediscovery in postwar noir literature. Has the world finally caught up with this kind of explosive anger and moral emptiness?

Harlan Ellison: Er—you could be right!

Ron Garmon: Yes, and frequently am! One of your best-ever introductions as well. Concise, laconic—it centers the reader and yourself in the history of this long-dead pulp art form that leaves the neophyte wanting more Harlan. Please situate these tales in the pulp noir tradition of Jim Thompson and David Goodis.

Harlan Ellison: Well, in those days, we were all writing pretty much the same stuff for a penny a word as fast as we could. There were a plethora of magazines. Good, bad or indifferent, you finished it, sent it out and that was your week’s groceries.

Ron Garmon: There are stretches of Sex Gang that are even bleaker than Jim Thompson at his most nihilistic. He is generally reckoned by critics to be the last word in extreme pulp.

Harlan Ellison: Jim was a very great artist and I enjoyed knowing him and writing to him and reading his stuff. He was one of the premier novelists of the 20th century, up there with James M. Cain. He was that good.

Ron Garmon: Yes. It’s tempting to see Deek in Sex Gang as an ultra-horny, doomed precursor to Vic in ‘A Boy and His Dog.’

Harlan Ellison: They’re pretty much the same kind of kid, yeah. I brought the sensibility of the old kid gang stories into the world of science fiction with ‘A Boy and his Dog’ and I was pilloried by a number of close personal friends who fancied themselves literary masters saying I was cheapening the form. I said, ‘You write what you know, I’ll write what I know.’

Ron Garmon: This stuff is deadpan, matter-of-fact raw. Just this morning, I was reading on Salon.com some mainstream novelist’s idea of a sex scene and my god—very weak compared to the mayhem you dish out.

Harlan Ellison: I always thought of these stories as mainstream erotica. I didn’t think there was anything that serious about it or anything near pornography. The more people who talk to me, the more I’m surprised at how startling they find this stuff to be. We wrote this kinda stuff as a matter of course—straight and real. It could not be more courant at the time, so to have it considered courant or even ahead of its time now is very startling to me.

Ron Garmon: That comes to another question—what do you think about seeing this sliver of your youth suddenly become trendy?

Harlan Ellison: It’s one more startlement on the long trail of my career. I’ve given up figuring out about where posterity lies for me. For some people, all I ever wrote is science fiction; to others, all I ever did was television. Other people, I’m remembered for the juvenile delinquent stuff and now that this stuff is back, it just revivifies one more phase of my long career.

Ron Garmon: Speaking of that, next year Hardcase Crime is reprinting your first novel, Web of the City. [First published in 1958 as Rumble.]Do you think it, and your other juvvie stories, influenced Sol Yurick’s The Warriors, which came a few years later? There’s a similar sense of hardass hopelessness.

Harlan Ellison: I’m sure there was an influence, but then we were all influenced by each other, as I was influenced by Hal Ellson, who wrote before me. We were all writing the same down-in-the-streets kind of stuff. Hal worked at Bellevue Hospital and knew these kids intimately. We became friends and I read a lot of his stuff, so I got very close to that stuff, so I got the true wording and the true activities.

Ron Garmon: Your command of Beat-era hipsemantic lingo is very impressive. Were you a Lord Buckley fan?

Harlan Ellison: Ha—I was indeed.

Ron Garmon: These stories, plus the ones in Gentleman Junkie also predate A Clockwork Orange, yet no one in Lit Crit land really notices. What say you?

Harlan Ellison: Ah … (Pained sigh) If I have anything to say, I’ll just get into the same trouble I did when someone pointed out Cormac McCarthy’s The Road was nothing but a rewrite of ‘A Boy and His Dog.’ I said, ‘Yeah. Gee, it sure seems like it, doesn’t it?’ and everybody said ‘Ah, you’re just bitter and cruel because Cormac McCarthy made millions off it and you didn’t.’ So I try not to predict where people’s sources come from. It’s likely Burgess was familiar with the literature of the day, but he was also very, very British.

Ron Garmon: Somebody like Deek in the flesh would’ve been his worst nightmare come to life.

Harlan Ellison: What can I say? You work days or you work nights. One or the other.

Ron Garmon: Did you revise much? A habit of subtly altering your early work is something you share with Tennessee Williams.

Harlan Ellison: These stories, I did not. When we divided Sex Gang into two books, Pulling a Train and Getting in the Wind, which will be out next month, we added other stories of the period. Not so much kid gang stories, but ones from the same period. For instance, ‘Nedra at f;5.6’ is a much better story than most of them in that book, but written more seriously for a more serious audience.

Ron Garmon: I loved that one! A high-art tribute to Fritz Leiber, dedicated to him.

Harlan Ellison: Fritz was one of my idols and one of the great men of literature.

Ron Garmon: I share your opinion of him. One of your many achievements on the page was bringing a kind of proto-punk attitude and aesthetic to fantasy writing. While we’re on the subject of young people, please relate any cranky rant about kids today here.

Harlan Ellison: I think on the day after the Aurora, Colorado, massacre, anything said about young people today is moot. No one will face the fact that the NRA runs America and is killing us. There were more people killed in that Aurora slaughter than were killed in the entire country of Japan last year. Only eleven people killed by gunfire in Japan last year and this kid killed twelve. This is bewildering. It’s certainly way past the kid gang stuff, where if you had a switchblade or a zip-gun, you were deadly. Now, they’re deadly and they have AK-47s.

Ron Garmon: They’ve become weaponized. Now they’re like soldiers.

Harlan Ellison: And they’re trained that way by video games, the internet and television. It’s become a culture of pure violence.

Ron Garmon: There are still also many, like Deek, who simply have a mad on for the rest of humanity.

Harlan Ellison: I can never figure out what they’re upset about in the outside world. The outside world is awful, but I guess I sound like Cassandra. Everything is awful.

Ron Garmon: Well, there’s always Hemingway’s notion that ‘the world is a fine place,’ and worth saving for that reason.

Harlan Ellison: The good stuff is worth saving. And it’s getting harder and harder to do so day by day.

Ron Garmon: True. You spent much of your tenure as Glass Teat columnist [for The Los Angeles Free Press] predicting a second American Revolution or at least indulging in the occasional daydream of one. How much discontent are we short of a revolution at this moment?

Harlan Ellison: I don’t see a revolution now. I see everyone so confused and so beaten down, they don’t have anything to rebel against. It’s like the Occupy movement. They’re furious and they know they have a need to be furious but they don’t know who to be furious at. So they run around and yell and break things. I don’t see that as a revolution. A revolution moves toward a goal and I don’t know what the hell the goal is at the moment.

Ron Garmon: A lot of it is pure anger at this point. Most revolutions start as expression of that.

Harlan Ellison: We’re an angry country. We’re a road rage country, no question about it.

Ron Garmon: What music do you listen to these days?

Harlan Ellison: I don’t listen to much music at all any more. There’s not much I can listen to. I go back to jazz and the classics. When you reach a point where music has mutated to whatever it’s mutated into, you go back to the things you know and are comfortable.

Ron Garmon: I know you hung with the Stones and Three Dog Night. At what point did you tune out on rock music?

Harlan Ellison: Well, it came a lot later, about the time hip-hop started. Hip-hop seemed to me to be a dead end right off the bat. Everybody was a poet and it was violent, nasty stuff that didn’t interest me much. I never could get through grunge and have no idea what they’re calling it now. One of my friends is Otep and I like her music, so I guess I’m a fan of Otep!

Ron Garmon: Pretend you’re once again writing your old L.A. WEEKLY or Free Press columns—what local issue would you rip into the city’s Powers That Be over?

Harlan Ellison: I suppose the overabundance of cop violence that’s coming back again after we managed to get rid of the Hat Squad. It’s come back and it’s very, very violent. I don’t get it because I’m not profiled, but everyone I know who is feels it very strongly—it’s an iron boot out there ready to come down.

Ron Garmon: And does come down—often on people wielding chalk.

Harlan Ellison: Yeah. I’d be writing about that and the total confusion at City Hall. It’s like Alice in Wonderland over there. We need another Lewis Carroll.

Ron Garmon: Other than coinciding with a serious uptick of interest in your writings, how’s the Great Recession been treatin’ ya?

Harlan Ellison: I’m okay. I’m above water. Everybody gets their fifteen minutes of fame and I’ve had mine for about 35 or 40 years. I’m still considered a great icon. But now … I’ve been reflecting that it’s been like one of the characters on Lost, sitting on the beach staring at the water and the tide rolling in and not realizing a whole continent has built up behind you. I turn around and ‘Holy Christ I’m famous! How’d that happen?’ I was too busy working like a blue-collar worker to notice. I’m not planning any trips to the moon, but they’re not throwing me out of my house either.

Ron Garmon: You had some very appropriate things to say about the great Ray Bradbury. It’s a little late, but any last thoughts on Thomas M. Disch? On his LiveJournal page before his suicide, Disch mentioned you both feuded briefly in the mid-60s, but buried it.

Harlan Ellison: I loved Tom, for all his crankiness. He could be one of the most cantankerous people who ever lived—not a good, easy guy to be friends with. He was a great writer, but he couldn’t get out of his own way in some respects. I think he was never fully clear of being upset over being overlooked as a serious poet. He was one of the people they consulted for giving out the Pulitzer Prize, but he was never up for it himself. I think it finally just took him away. Depression is a bad thing and not something you can do much about. I have it myself. You just sit and stare.

Ron Garmon: I understand you’re no internet junkie, but if you were to look at Disch’s blog, you’d see much eloquent despair, mixed in with the gorgeous poetry he simply gave away.

Harlan Ellison: Well, everybody keeps trying to get me on Twitter and I say, ‘146 characters? Please. That’s when I just start to catch my breath!’
