Who else shaped the manufacturing world - American and European electricity.

Jill Jonnes in her book, Empires of Light, tells the story of the birth of the American giants of electricity. Electricity was ‘discovered’ by a number of scientists in a number of countries. Its existence had been there for all mankind to witness in electrical storms; but what was it? How could it be used? In How Britain Shaped the Manufacturing World (HBSTMW) I focussed on Humphrey Davy and…

Happy 2 Years, To Be Alone 🎉🎉

Thanks to the lovely Flor @raincoffeeandfandoms and her decision to include my OC Celia Farraday in her OC asks that she has been sending out, I realized that I posted the first chapter of To Be Alone two years ago today.

This story was my first endeavor into the world of fic writing for Peaky Blinders, and it was the first story I’d written in a few years. On top of that, it was the first time I’d ever posted a piece of my writing on Tumblr — I remember being so nervous about getting it right but at the same time so very excited to be writing again. My goodness what a journey I’ve been on since I posted that first chapter.

I’d like to quickly shoutout some of the people who have been supporting me since the beginning, because if it weren’t for you showing interest in my story, I’d probably not still be posting on here. @mootiemoose (you were my first follower after I posted my story, the first username I added to a taglist and the first person to comment on it — I’ll remember that forever), @theshelbyclan (you were the first big Peaky blog to share my story — thanks for giving me the recognition) and @look-at-the-soul (you were the first mutual that I really talked to and built a friendship with) — I know there were others who have been along for the ride with me from early on and this post would get super long if I listed everyone…my heart goes out to ALL OF YOU. Thank you for joining me in this fic writing journey!!

So I figured I’d do something special for Celia on the 2nd anniversary of her story beginning … after so much scrolling on Pinterest and many different Google searches, I think I’ve finally found a faceclaim for her ………..

Everyone, meet Celia Rose Farraday!!!!

This is Rose Williams as Charlotte Heywood from the series Sandition. The time periods aren’t the same, but I felt that she could mesh well into canon. — the only thing I believe may be different is that Celia has hazel eyes.

The second I saw a picture of her smiling, I just knew that she had to be Celia’s faceclaim — her smile instantly made me feel happy and that’s exactly what Celia did while I was writing her story, and as I’ve gone back and re-read her story.

I hope you’ll also find that she fits the part!!

I’ve also been in the process of giving the story a facelift and fixing minor things that I’ve been able to find. I’m only on Chapter 7 with that because I’ve actually started reading the story (because I haven’t read it since I posted it on here). So if you see some formatting changes, this is why!

One last time, thank you for joining me on this journey!! 💕

Maligned Yuri Bracket: Preliminary Round!

How is Barbie/Raquelle (Barbie) maligned?

"I saw more Barbie/Ken which is understandable but tell me why I saw more Ken/Ryan who have SIGNIFICANTLY LESS SCREENTIME than Barbie and Raquelle. And somehow Barbie (literally known for being nice?) was always a bitch in Ken/Ryan fics??? The misogyny of it all."

How is Annaliese/Erika (Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper) maligned?

"Their duets is the only evidence needed"

How is Kristyn Farraday/Hailey (Barbie in the Pink Shoes) maligned?

"People in the fandom hate this movie. But the ship is cute ;-;"

Sapphira

Here's an early picture of Sapphira Farraday from Miss Masquerade. Sapphira is the daughter of Steve Farraday (co-founder of Magic Inc.) and Catherine Farraday (a well-known lawyer). She's both serious and studious. And prefers to simply blend in with her more extroverted friend group.

At the beginning of Miss Masquerade, Sapphira witnesses a murder. And lives in fear of being hunted by the killer, known to her only as Destiny. Feeling her life may be over at any moment drives Sapphira into making some impulsive decisions. Still, no matter what she does, Sapphira finds herself forced into a world of magic and deceit she wishes she never knew existed.

Also I love rereading this book cause I'll pick up on tiny but important details that I missed the first time around-- like the fact Saville was betrothed, but her fiance left her when her dad defied the tailor's guild

My OC As… Ask Game

Thanks so much for the tag Shark and Juli! @call-sign-shark @evita-shelby …. I had to give it some thought, but loved doing so for Celia because she never got this type of treatment when I first made her (I was a noob to all things fandom haha)

Background blog facts that are no less important but that I don’t have enough thoughts to make full headcanon posts about yet:

The original task force Viking was commissioned for was called Strike Nine, and was about 65/40 Human/Reploid.

Two other members of Strike Nine - both Human - helped Viking disappear after he’d decided to leave the task force.

Farraday Labs has an ongoing lawsuit pending against Allen Adagio of Adagio Music for breach of contract after they pulled the Reploid Acoustikat out of early observation without permission.

Issac and his wife Amari originally only got married for the legal and tax benefits.

Issac Farraday lied on his resume to get a job working under Dr. Cain when Reploids first began to be mass produced.

Issimo and Acoustikat know of each other by X4 and are slowly starting to get to know one another post-X8. Neither of them know about Viking.

Despite both of them attending Black Lake in an overlapping time period, Issimo and Viking have never met.

Farraday Labs relocated to one of the smaller orbital colonies, called “Vaalbara”, during humanity’s expansion into space.

Octavia Xu also relocated to the Vaalbara colony, where she met with Issac and Amari Farraday, and worked with them to create Remedy based off of old plans she and Lester had been working on for their third child.

Remedy used to get in mild trouble with the local law on Vaalbara for using her Copy Ability to cheat at Hide and Seek by mimicking the forms of nearby Reploids (including those in law enforcement).

idk abt in the book but ALSO in the movie farraday is NEVER called by his first name, even caroline calls him farraday and it’s like this Constant reminder of his Bloodline and that he is Other from the whole family and Hundreds Hall

Thank you for answering my question about violets reaction to philip and eloise. I keep thinking about all the scenes I wish were in that book. Like Amanda introducing her fiance to Oliver and the rest of the bridgertons. Heaven help her. How do you think that would have gone?

No problem! I like answering questions like this!

I personally think all of the Bridgertons adore Charles… except Oliver, protective brother that he is. Phillip jokes about getting a big stick to beat away suitors, but Oliver just happened to be testing out a new cricket bat when he was introduced to Charles.
