thinking about when I was coming up with names for this blog and my other choice was “Lezzie Mcquire”

I think I made the right call

After a very convoluted and stressful debate with a pal, we have differentiating opinions on Sandman from Spider-Man threes character. After a heated debate on whether or not he would whimper in a sexy way during sex specifically in the “fucker, not fuckee” position, I said it’s hot to bring a tough man to his knees and make him cry and then after sex, he’d kill a man for looking at me wrong

My friend has proceeded to argue that not only would not be sexy, but it would not be sexy because he is not the kind of man to kill somebody for me

What are your thoughts?

Flashbacks to my teaching degree graduate class on YA & Children's Lit and how we were asked to make a list of separate recommended books for boys and books for girls. I objected heavily for several reasons, but especially because the idea that boys can't be expected to read books where girls are the hero is bullshit.

Later in the class we had to do a promo for a book for our theoretical students and I picked the first Tiffany Aching book (a novel connected to the witches listed above). The professor approved and then told me how lovely the gender elements I mentioned were and how empowering the story sounded, and then ended with a reminder about this is why she insists on gendered recommendations.

Specifically,

"Can you really expect a boy to read a book by a woman like Terri Pratchett?"

Shout out to my favorite female author 🤣

Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax of Discworld are the iconic old lady duo of all time, for many reasons. One of those reasons being that Nanny Ogg has had sex with countless men both within and outside marriage, and is still bragging about it as an old lady. And at the same time, Granny Weatherwax is explicitly a virgin (and possibly asexual) for all of her life and is proud of it. And that was both of their choices, and neither of them regret a thing. Sure, they make snide remarks at each other about it, but they make snide remarks at each other about everything. And as an extra bonus Magrat only sleeps with one man after she marries him and that is also considered perfectly alright. That's not even going into the fact that Nanny Ogg is both maternal and horny, that Granny Weatherwax is handsome but was never pretty, and that Magrat is idealistic and femme but also filled with violent rage. I just love them so much.

“Who is Olive Mcguire” Lore overview

Has a video link at 0:43

I don’t know where it leads

An exclamation to Olive McGuire and most of her story up to this point

There are a few flashing moments and little details that I find interesting

0:43 ~ the man that shows up in both “CAM 17” and “Who is this man?” appears behind the trees on the left of Olive and the lamppost

1:02 ~ The news story about Olive was posted on April 26 20XX

That is the same day that the “CAM 17” footage was possibly recorded

1:12 ~ Olive discovers their powers from some sort of shadow wolf

1:23 & 1:55 ~ Olive makes a bulletin board about her past

This is where the “Who is this man?” clip comes from

Its seen close to the top left corner of the board

1:35 ~ Monsters called Dusks that come from Nightingveil are the creatures that Olive is fighting

Can humans turn into dusks and through what means? Because Tony was clearly human at one point as seen in “Devil’s Train” and “Waitin on a Train”

1:37 ~ we can see the wolf dusk that Olive first fought as a shadow behind someone

Perhaps someone like Tony?

2:00 ~ there were nine people behind Olive

There are four people that have been introduced

Left side

Tony

Moon lady/Queen

The Lost Coven (Witch Girl w/Spirits)

Right side

The Overseer/Mr Lichtenstein

There are two others with blacked-out faces like the Overseer, are they other puppets of Crow?

I had a wonderful time at the brilliant Broadway show 'The Hills of California'! It’s an Olivier Award-winning play by Jez Butterworth, directed by the amazing Sam Mendes. The story revolves around a very ambitious mother who dreams of seeing her four daughters become a successful singing group, much like the Andrews Sisters.

After the show, I dove deep into a YouTube rabbit hole, watching interviews, performances, and documentaries about the Andrews Sisters, the Boswell Sisters, and the McGuire Sisters. I was mesmerized by the glamorous fashions and stunning fabric patterns from the 1940s and 50s. It hit me that these designs could inspire my Halloween displays for next year!

For Halloween 2025, I aim to make my characters' costumes out of brown paper grocery bags, paint, and polyurethane. I’ve drawn inspiration from Isabelle de Borchgrave, the incredible self-taught Belgian artist who creates breathtaking painted paper dresses. I started by flattening some brown paper grocery bags and painting them with acrylic and house paint. Then, I spent some time researching 1940s and 50s fabric patterns. I let my creativity flow with a few paint cans, despite my limited skills!. For my sculptures, I’m getting creative with all sorts of materials like kid's plastic masks, shoe boxes, Tide detergent containers, Coffee Mate bottles, newspapers, and paper towel rolls. The powerful drama and acting from that Broadway experience have stayed with me for days. Isabelle de Borchgrave's fashion creations sparked my imagination, while the music and style of the Andrews Sisters entertained me as I embarked on my artistic journey!

There's a long way to go before my creations go on display. I'm still testing the various ways to waterproof my paper dresses so they don't get damaged outdoors. I also aim to write and draw a picture book based on the characters I create.

February 2024 Book Club Picks

My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family's Nazi Past by Jennifer Teege: Raised by foster parents, Jennifer Teege had very little knowledge about her past. She had minimal contact with her birth mother, knew that her father was Nigerian, and that her grandmother Ruth committed suicide in 1983, but that was it...until one day she stumbled upon a book in her local library. A book about Amon Goethe, the notorious Nazi commandant, the “butcher of Płaszów", a monster hanged in 1946 for the heinous murders he committed for Hitler's Reich. And in that book, she finds pictures of her grandmother and mother, listed as Goethe's partner and daughter. Everyone wants to know who they are, where they come from. But now Teege must reckon with what we do when we learn that we come from something dark, twisted, and almost too horrible to talk about.

The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale: Recent years have seen an explosion of protest against police brutality and repression. Among activists, journalists and politicians, the conversation about how to respond and improve policing has focused on accountability, diversity, training, and community relations. Unfortunately, these reforms will not produce results, either alone or in combination. The core of the problem must be addressed: the nature of modern policing itself. Drawing on groundbreaking research from across the world, and covering virtually every area in the increasingly broad range of police work, Alex Vitale demonstrates how law enforcement has come to exacerbate the very problems it is supposed to solve.

Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror by Jordan Peele (editor): Two Freedom riders find themselves stranded on a lonely road in Alabama. A prison warden discovers a horrible secret in the facility where he works. A young girl descends into the bowels of the earth to destroy the creature that killed her parents. Peele collects there stories and more from some of the most gift black horror authors writing today in an anthology sure to thrill, chill, and linger.

Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire: When Antoinette "Antsy" Ricci becomes the newest student at Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, word spreads quickly that she can find anything. When resident irresistible mean girl Laurel tries to strongarm Antsy into finding Laurel's door for her, she's forced to flee with a small group of friends through a series of doors...which eventually lead her back to the Shop of Lost Things. And now that Antsy is back, she intends to make sure Venita and Hudson are keeping their promise

Ejaculate Responsibly: The Conversation We Need to Have About Men and Contraception by Gabrielle Blair: Why are women expected to shoulder the majority of the burden for preventing unwanted pregnancies? With fertility that's harder to track and birth control that's more invasive, more hazardous, and more difficult to obtain, it seems almost counterproductive that the men in the pregnancy equation are expected to take less or even no responsibility in pregnancy prevention than women. In 28 concise arguments, Blair lays out a new way to look at birth control and abortion, with one, simple thesis underlying all of it - men can prevent 100% of unwanted pregnancies if they simply ejaculate responsibly.

NEWS ON THE SKEKGRA PREQUEL COMIC!!

So for those who don't know, BOOM! studios is releasing a comic series titled 'Jim Hensons Presents' which is said to include a collection of short stories from various Jim Henson properties, written and illustrated by various writers and artists. It will have four issues, with the first one releasing in January.

And in a trailer for the series, they revealed that we will get a Dark Crystal story focusing on Skekgra's backstory!

And since I'm incredibly hyperfixated on The Heretic and The Wanderer rn, I've been following the updates for this comic very closely. And, as I expressed in this post, I was very confused as to which issue the Skekgra story will be featured in, since different sources seemed to be implying different things.

But now, I've figured out why there was so much confusion, and the explanation is pretty exciting!

We aren't just getting ONE Skekgra short story, but a longer story spread out between multiple issues!

In an Instagram post by BOOM! studios, they revealed the short stories that will appear in Issue 1.

And as you can see, we got a Dark Crystal story titled 'The Wanderer' (obviously referring to Urgoh) that will be written by Seanan Mcquire and illustrated by Countandra. I assumed that was the Skekgra story.

BUT! The website League of Comic Geeks (as well as a few other websites) put this as the description of Issue 2.

At first, I thought this might've been a mistake, and maybe this description was actually meant for Issue 1 and the website just added it to Issue 2 by mistake.

BUT THEN! This website (https://majorspoilers.com/2024/12/21/boom-studios-for-march-2025/) released the synposis for Issue 3!

The fact that the description actually says 'CONTINUE' confirms that this will be a multi-part story!

This is great news because, although I tend to be as optimistic as possible about this kinda stuff, I was a bit worried that they wouldn't be able to satisfyingly cover Skekgra's backstory in a short story. But now that we have a longer story confirmed, I believe that this comic will do our boys justice!

(Also multiple releases helps to keep the fandom alive for longer.)

The first 'chapter' will probably focus on Urgoh's perspective before he met Skekgra, since its titled 'The Wanderer'.

Although I had my doubts about Issue 2 since it doesn't directly mention Skekgra in its description, cuz its in-between Issue 1 and 3 and is written by the same writer, I'd say it probably does follow on from The Wanderer. And may focus on the other skeksis as well as Skekgra.

Since Issue 3's description refers to Skekgra as 'The Heretic' I wonder if this is the chapter where he gets banished? Or just shown signs of heresy? Or maybe that's just what his character is more commonly known as in the fandom.

We don't have any information regarding the fourth issue, but I think it's likely this issue will contain the finale to the Skekgra arc since its the final issue.

Anyway, I am horrifically excited for this and I will keep you guys updated!
