Considering storyboarding “The Interview” from Chess just for practice’s sake. 

World Chess Champion Anatoly Sergievsky is shocked to find that Frederick Trumper, the former champion he had defeated a year before, is the one to be interviewing him for Global Television.

Anatoly, slinking back to his pawns and to his tarts

Anatoly himself is in stark black and white (thematic), and so are his pawns, which are a mix of black and white to symbolize his conflicted identity (thematic). However, the tarts are colourized to show their diverse and yummy flavours - lemon, raspberry and blueberry (thematic).

Like three weeks ago I was reading about ap hill before work And I literally have had negative ap Hill energy since then

throughout his life Powell exuded nothing but negative energy and you feeling his negative vibes now is a sign that he’s watching over you, congrats

Reading about something any well known historical figure did that makes them seem like a loser is hilarious. By this I mean little things like John Adams accidentally sending his diary to congress or John Laurens hitting his head on the ceiling. (It's not always Johns doing this btw)

I can't stop thinking about how much of a loser George Pickett he is. Dude placed last in his class AND is really only known because his division was blasted to smithereens. And of course since he is a Confederate he is automatically a loser lol.

At least he is a loser in style

George A. Custer got 700+ demerits at West Point. That and the fact that he took place in killing Native Americans makes him a loser. (Especially the Native Americans, they deserved much better.)

I’m just wondering what went through the photographer’s mind when taking this? Why is McClellan backwards??

Confederate General Ambrose Powell Hill, Jr. aka “Little Powell”

Hill did not escape controversy during the war. He had a frail physique and suffered from frequent illnesses that reduced his effectiveness at Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House (Some historians believe these illnesses were related to the venereal disease he contracted as a West Point cadet.)

Some analysts consider Hill an example of the Peter Principle. Although he was extremely successful commanding his famed “Light Division”, he was less effective as a corps commander. Historian Larry Tagg described Hill as “always emotional … so high strung before battle that he had an increasing tendency to become unwell when the fighting was about to commence.” This tendency was to some extent balanced by the implied swagger and combative attitude that he displayed. He often donned a red calico hunting shirt when a battle was about to start and the men under his command would pass the word, “Little Powell’s got on his battle shirt!” and begin to check their weapons.

Hill was affectionate with the rank-and-file soldiers and one officer called him “the most lovable of all Lee’s generals.” Although it was said that “his manner was so courteous as almost to lack decision,” his actions were often impetuous, and did not lack decision, but judgment.

Nevertheless, Hill was one of the war’s most highly regarded generals on either side. When Hill was a major general, Robert E. Lee wrote that he was the best at that grade in the Army. He had a reputation for arriving on battlefields (such as Antietam, Cedar Mountain, and Second Bull Run) just in time to prove decisive. Stonewall Jackson on his deathbed deliriously called for A. P. Hill to “prepare for action;” some histories have recorded that Lee also called for Hill in his final moments (“Tell Hill he must come up.”), although current medical opinion is that Lee was unable to speak during his last illness.

Color and Light

I have nothing much to say. It's already very precious that I can be inspired and draw something from a creator like Sondheim in my own creation. I miss him.

He will force all the assassins to watch this TV drama. Definitely.
