Ted Mack of the TV show The Original Amateur Hour presents the gold trophy to 8-year old Gladys Knight, July 1, 1952. Gladys, who previously sang in her church choir, was voted the winner of three nationwide broadcasts. Later that year, she and her siblings and cousins began performing professionally as Gladys Knight and the Pips.

The lights get turned off so Dilton can do his piano recital in a spotlight. So goes the basis of the first coloring. In the second coloring, the main characters -- all with a first row seat -- just blend in with the vaguely delineated background crowd, and the lights stay on.

In 2021, my FC had a screenshot contest with two categories to enter: "Memories of the Source" and "Memories of the First." I entered a screenshot for each category, but with a twist -- they both combined into one larger image.

This is actually three screenshots in one! The foreground was taken in my apartment, using Chromakey to make the background transparent and lights in gpose to emulate the light coming from the respective backgrounds.

More dramatic scenes from Operation: White Snow Continues, and some analysis of Geomeunjogjebi.

Geumsaegi discovers that Juldarami has been kidnapped, and proceeds to, possibly implied via the title card, jump out the window.

He then runs around screaming in the woods, punching trees, wondering how he and the Flower Hill plans could go on without Juldarami.

Never mind the fact that he could have been the next target, and should have considered that, given his position. He went out into the woods alone, and could have been captured as well for that mistake, which could make for an interesting episode AU if he has to work from that angle.

It is actually General Commander Jogjebi who actually does something useful first. He immediately freaks out, because the soldier he sent out to investigate a possible traitor ring came back injured, and then was abducted. He understands the greater connotations of a group of individuals kidnapping someone who might have the information on who is a threat to the Weasel Unit. With the Regimental Commander missing, who can he trust if he goes outside?

If anything, traitors are more dangerous than scouts from Flower Hill, especially since they have a more vested interest in killing him, whereas Flower Hill could use him as a hostage. Naturally, Commander Jogjebi immediately has his soldiers start searching the base.

Which is something Geumsaegi should have done at the start, instead of running around in the snow.

Meanwhile, the concept of Geomeunjogjebi is interesting in general.

This weasel appears as Aekku’s replacement in The Pact, throwing himself into the role with enthusiasm. He appears in Operation: Snow White Continues, having performed an autopsy on his own brother, and discovered that the bullets that killed him were of Weasel Unit make. Therefore, it was obvious to him that Juldarami had killed his brother, instead of the Rabbits.

Clearly, he wants revenge. But how did he know Juldarami was a scout? Apparently, he was not part of The Pact or the Rebels of Mt. Rock beforehand (he did have the secret insignia, though, so at least he was not playing a large part). There are two possibilities.

One, he was part of the rebels all along, and it had already be determined that he was to be Aekku’s backup. He was just not seen, since as a doctor he had to work in a specific area, and could not join the rest of the rebels immediately. This does not explain why he would know Juldarami was a scout, considering Aekku only figured it out in Rabbit Village.

If anything, Geomeunjogjebi would have known that Geumsaegi was a scout, since thanks to Mulmangcho they already had that information.

It would have been prudent to grab Geumsaegi as well, but revenge on Juldarami apparently took priority.

The second possibility is that Aekku was suspicious of Commander Jogjebi and Juldarami, wondering if there was a plot to have him killed in Rabbit Village, and decided to leave all his information behind for his brother to find, in a hidden location only the two of them would know about. Perhaps a dossier on everything The Pact was doing, so Geomeunjogjebi could pick up where he left off.

Problem with this is, while Aekku should have known about Geumsaegi being a Flower Hill Scout, he did not figure out about Juldarami until Rabbit Village, which means that bit of information should not have been in any left behind notes.

Unless, of course, Aekku make some sort of phone call from the hotel room, informing his brother on where to find the notes, and the possibility that the Regional Commander was a Flower Hill scout.

Obviously he just assumes Commander Jogjebi is compromised at this point, so Aekku could not make a phone call to the base and tell Jogjebi that the plan was in Jeopardy.

Which makes calling Geomeunjogjebi a higher possibility. Naturally, the phones would be wiretapped, but Aekku, as the Scout Commander, might have the knowledge on how to remove the wiretap, or at least speak in a friendly and specific manner that his brother would recognize as a message that the Rabbit listeners would not understand.

Since Geumsaegi ran off into the forest alone, Geomeunjogjebi, as a doctor, could have easily followed and grabbed him with some chloroform or other sleeping drug, moved him, and then claimed that he lost Geumsaegi when that one tree fell down. And then they would have two hostages in order to get close to General Commander Jogjebi. But, apparently, revenge may have taken priority at that point.

Also, Juldarami was injured, and Geumsaegi had proven himself a formidable opponent in fighting weasels, let alone two grieving mice.

a snippet of the droll Duke Su from the source novel of The Double, to show how well the drama is capturing his vibes. (Spoilers obviously)

Seeing such a thrilling examination, [Kong Liu] felt it was more tiring than the usual practice drill. However, he was still happy. He spoke to Ji Heng, “Did you see? Jiang second miss was so powerful. Today was really an eye opened for everyone, this would let her be in the limelight. I suppose she’s very happy.”

“I think she is a little disappointed,” Ji Heng said.

“Disappointed?” Kong Liu doubted, “Why disappointed? She got first place. These damn six arts competitions are over, she’s number one in each and every one of them. What is to be disappointed about?”

“Unable to borrow a knife to kill somebody, naturally one is disappointed.” Ji Heng laughed lightly and stood up: “Today’s drama is also not bad, just there’s no blood, a bit simpler, let’s see another day.”

Then he walked away.

“Truly a pervert.” Kong Liu muttered. He thought of something and said, “You still haven’t judged!”

It really is bold of Raoul to go "Christine, there is no Phantom of the Opera!" when 1) Christine disappeared for a whole fucking night with her "Angel of Music" and had a very mixed review on that experience, 2) everyone regularly receives notes from the Opera Ghost and they pay him a goddamn salary, and 3) the Phantom literally just murdered a man in front of a packed theater not two minutes prior.

The new season of Next in Fashion was fine and ok, but it has very much downgraded. There were fewer contestants, they were all from america (although there were some immigrants) not from around the world this time, the prize was 50k less than in season 1. They also didn't have the pattern printer and all the sponsor color pencils as well as the option to get even more stuff if they needed them and weren't in the closet section thingy... Netflix is already fucking up their budget, I see

The Writing Contest Masterlist

Pairing: Javi Gutierrez x OFC!Nora Delaine

Series Summary: Nora Delaine wins a writing contest and flies out to California to have her original fiction turned into a screenplay with the help of rising star screenplay writer Javi Gutierrez, never expecting to become friends let alone something more to him.

Rating: 18+ Series

Warnings: 2nd person POV, lots of fluff, yearning, slow burn, friends to lovers (so eventual smut), age gap (Nora is in her mid-30s, Javi in his mid-40s), Nora has insecurities about her weight (mentioned soft stomach), and that's all the warnings I can give without spoiling things.

Author’s Note: I never planned to write a series for Javi G but the plot bunnies got me. Really got me. This is going to have the most chapters for any fanfic I've written in a long time. Decided on making it an OFC fic because Nora said she's a detailed character with French heritage. Every chapter title will be the title of a Bon Jovi song cause Nora's a shameless fan.
