Restarting my Patreon

I’d created a Patreon initially for my photography projects but the last few years have offered few opportunities to exercise this art and it fell by the wayside. Now, thanks to my new hobby, I’m being super productive in my creating, so I’ve revamped my creator account for my embroidery. What does that mean?

Here’s my new tiers for Patrons:

$1 Give a Little Love

-       Access to finished pieces one day before everyone else

$3 Have a Say

-       Same perk as $1 tier

-       Plus in progress pieces, chances to vote on what I work on next and make suggestions for new pieces

$10 In the Bank

-       Same perks as $1 and $3 tier

-       Pledges accumulate and can be traded in for embroidery work, including commissions

Deets in my blog header, or you can head over to Patreon dot com and search for thewightknight.

Hollywood Studios’ WGA Strike Endgame Is To Let Writers Go Broke Before Resuming Talks In Fall
EXCLUSIVE: Regardless of whether SAG-AFTRA goes on strike this week, the studios have no intention of sitting down with the Writers Guild fo
Deadline

“Receiving positive feedback from Wall Street since the WGA went on strike May 2,Warner Bros Discovery, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount and others have become determined to “break the WGA,” as one studio exec blatantly put it.  

“To do so, the studios and the AMPTP believe that by October most writers will be running out of money after five months on the picket lines and no work.

“‘The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses,” a studio executive told Deadline. Acknowledging the cold-as-ice approach, several other sources reiterated the statement. One insider called it ‘a cruel but necessary evil.’

“The studios and streamers’ next think financially strapped writers would go to WGA leadership and demand they restart talks before what could be a very cold Christmas. In that context, the studios and streamers feel they would be in a position to dictate most of the terms of any possible deal.”

Whatevferatu. 

[ID: A meme showing a picture of Nosferatu, a vampire from the old silent film. It’s captioned “I’m trying to be more positive” on top, and on bottom it reads “Yesferatu.”]

Nothing like coming to tumblr and seeing for really real posts that you’ve seen screencapped on other sites.

that “Christian Kane for Quincy Morris” post wormed its way into my head months ago, but somewhere along the way it mutated into “Leverage episode but the mark is Count Dracula”

  • Investigative Journalist Mina Harker is the client
  • Dracula threatened her real estate lawyer husband and probably had her best friend and photographer Lucy killed to keep her quiet
  • beyond just that, there’s a combination of suspected but unprovable kidnapping, (That Jonathan may have witnessed) and a shady for-profit blood donation company
  • which was trying to acquire real estate near a mental hospital for definitely exploitative and shady purposes
  • Dracula’s castle: great heist location. Early in the getting-the-con-started phase of the episode Parker steals at least one 15th century painting and a lot of ancient gold coins
  • Whether Leverage mark!Dracula is actually a vampire is never 100% proven but it’s definitely implied
  • regardless he’s definitely metaphorically a vampire
  • and Parker 100% believes he is one, even making a comment on how this isn’t the first time she’s robbed a vampire
  • Flashback to her cracking a safe in what the props make clear is Wesley Snipes’s house
  • The Leverage crew pose as a medical/biological goods shipping company (Demeter Transportation) in order to con Dracula and get both his money and evidence of all the shady stuff and crimes
  • their fake identities for the con are Lucy’s polycule
  • Eliot’s Quincy, Hardison is Seward, Parker is Holmwood
  • Nate was supposed to be Van Helsing, but there was a hot potato job-like kerfuffle and Sophie ends up playing that role instead
  • which makes Nate Renfield
  • Classic leverage action
  • the big wrinkle happens when they finally get their 50 boxes full of evidence delivered and discover that Dracula isn’t just smuggling blood, he’s smuggling black market organs
  • they manage to recover as they always do
  • (probably because of Harrison coming through with hacking, as a nod to the novel’s tech themes)
  • Spectacular success and Interpol seizes everything
  • when we see Mina again post-gloat she’s on her way to wherever Interpol is holding Dracula. She’s wearing a crucifix necklace and she conspicuously tucks a wooden stake into her bag alongside the check for the liquidated value of those gold coins.
  • after she leaves Parker drops out of the ceiling wearing those cheap plastic vampire fangs

…and it’s told through the crew’s text messages, emails, stolen surveillance footage, blended with Interpol’s case files. Including officer’s notes and some victim’s communications (diaries, emails, texts), statements, and one half-completed, terrible law enforcement re-enactment (of what they suspect happened) for a public plea for help with the case. Which never gets released because it’s just too unbelievable.

THE EPISTOLARY JOB.
