BEYOND Unsinkable

A fascinating profile of Margaret "Molly" Brown that seeks to dispel the inaccurate view of her as an ign'ant, singin', dancin' hillbilly tomboy golddigger saloon girl propagated by fictionalized trash media such as the Debbie Reynolds film that bore her name, sort of, as she'd never gone by "Molly," to begin with, but the songwriter found it easier to work with.

In real life, Brown was committed to social causes that helped the disabled, women, Blacks, and, especially, working people. It's fortunate for Helen Deutsch (screenplay)/Richard Morris (book) and Meredith Willson (score) that Margaret Brown died 30 years before they defamed her, as she could and, ideally, would have brought the wrath of God down on their heads.

“Are You Lost?”

Something inspired by the odd cases of kids going missing in the mountains, then turning up later with... a story. Pretty close to home as I have a similar such story from my own early childhood. When I was three or so I had an odd experience with the mountains and getting lost--and being unable to be found for hours by dozens searching despite being eventually discovered sitting out in the open by a distinctive rock within a 3-minute climb of the house. The art's more of a nighttime version with features taken from a number of other childrens' accounts. Though the second character, they're really more from my own experience. ^u^; I understand probably has a look that to "Western Culture" will be interpreted as evil, but it's not meant to stand for that. Children this young are yet to have been seeded with these ideas and their accounts rarely are fearful (except of the obvious being lost in wilderness). This isn't horror. It's mysterious, it's unknown, but it's not horror just because we're taught to be terrified of everything we can't control. 9x11 inch piece. Graphite, teeny hint of colored pencil. And quite a bit of sentiment.

fictionalized replied to your post “i tried to dye my hair blue yesterday but it didn’t take. so instead i...”

I just had the mental image of "I got an undercut but it didn't take" and that just made me laugh so much.

you go to a hairdresser and ask for an undercut but every time they approach your head with the razor your hair does that thing like where you go to pet a cat but it dips its back out of your reach
