Oh ho HO let's see what villainy is afoot today *opens up the 1891 London Illustrated Police News*
Ah yes, "The Illustrated Police News", Daily Mail / Express * (or possibly Sunday Sport / National Enquirer) of its day
* Mail & Express are famous notorious for, when at a loose end, publishing Madeline McCann / Lady Diana stories despite their increasing lack of currency.
In much the same way, IPN published nearly 200 Jack the Ripper front-page stories in the four years after those murders ended. Illustrated stories, of course. Also like them, IPN featured many anti-immigrant "here to take your jobs" stories.
IPN got good mileage from murder (mostly horrible, sometimes ghastly, occasionally just shocking), violent or scandalous goings-on (with illustrations to show how violently scandalous) and things to be outraged at (with illustrations to assist in being outraged...)
It was also partial to the adjective “fair”...
...and I was quite surprised that this one missed out on "fair somnambulist".
The captions didn't miss out on much else.
Stuff like these:
Or indeed these:
Has there ever been a compilation of The Best / Worst Of Illustrated Police News?
I'd buy it for the chuckle factor. ;-P
Title: two young, savage things (barely worth remembering)
Fandom: Supergirl
Pairings: Kara Danvers & Lex Luthor
Summary: Lex gets an answer to a question he's been very good about not asking. coda to more seats reserved for heroes
Notes: Currently 3rd in the dear forgiveness, series. title from damn these vampires by the mountain goats. As I've said before writing in order is for smucks. Still haven't the finished (or written) the bits where Kara makes friends with Lex or becomes a vigilante or sets up her fortress of solitude. But sure have this contextless bit of reveal. Which I actually wrote before more seats. Oops.
Read it on AO3
Title: more seats reserved for heroes Fandom: Supergirl Pairings: Kara Danvers & Clark Kent Summary: Clark didn’t ask for this, ok? He never does. Notes: Currently 2nd in the dear forgiveness 'verse. Title from litany in which certain things are crossed out, which incidentally is where the 'verse name came from. This has been mostly written for ages but the latest chapter of history's longest suicide note has been giving me literal actual fits, so I took a look at this guy and finished it up. history's next chapter will finally be posted on this wednesday after I edit it for the nth million time. Read it on AO3
Title: honey, we came to dance
Fandom: MCU
Pairings: Steve Rogers & Natasha Romanov
Summary: Natasha takes Steve swing dancing. Surprisingly, he manages to have a good time.
Notes: Night asked for 10th Kingdom Virginia/Wolf fluff or anything with Steve Rogers when I offered them a solstice fic. I didn’t quite make solstice and I’m not much of one for Christmas so I figured I’d do as the hobbits do and give it to them for my birthday.
Shhh, it’s still my birthday week.
And because Night is the actual best (y’all should say nice things) I kinda maybe wrote both. This is the Steve Rogers bit.
Fandom: The 10th Kingdom Pairings: Virginia Lewis/Wolf Length: 1.6k Summary: Virginia Lewis has breakfast in bed, calls her father, chats with her grandmother, and takes a walk in the park with her husband on her day off. Notes: @night-inscriber asked for 10th Kingdom Virginia/Wolf fluff or anything with Steve Rogers when I offered them a solstice fic. I didn’t quite make solstice and I’m not much of one for Christmas so I figured I’d do as the hobbits do and give it to them for my birthday.
Shhh, it’s still my birthday week.

So @staff hasn’t learned a goddamn thing, history repeats and i am le tired of this nonsense. I’m old enough that i remember what the lj and fanfic.net purges looked like and i ain’t down with that shit.
My queue will keep posting until it’s gone and i’m gonna do my best to keep in touch with the 3? people on this site that i actually talk to but as of 17/12 I will no longer be active on tumblr
If you want to find me I’m on ao3 as opensummer, dreamwidth as opensummer, and my fandom email is openemptysummer @ gmail.com
THIS IS THE END OF MY QUEUE.
A quick clarification: I’ve been looking to get off this site for a while. I find tumblr overwhelming in a way that’s really not healthy for my brain and yet couldn’t find it in me to quit. The purge is finally enough motivation to move on. My blog will be here for as long as tumblr is and while I’ll continue to crosspost my fic, I no longer plan on being active on this site.
Thanks for the memories, hope this hellsite is replaced by something better.

tag yourself!
lip gloss- good at arguing, sings a lot when alone, likes attention, gets tired easily, provides good hugs, midnight conversations, really supportive & accepting
eyeliner- chill but gets stressed often, likes writing & drawing, makes a lot of small but dumb mistakes, wants to travel around the world, has underrated humor
blush- spends a lot of money, loves empty cafés, talks too much, cute earrings and pink aesthetics, the psychologist friend, confident but insecure at the same time
chapstick- uses emojis ironically, hella social anxiety, says they’re bad at art but they’re probably not, peach soft drinks, the reasonable friend
mascara- bullet journaling, gets injured a lot, intimidating but is actually soft ™, strawberry milk, screwed up sleep schedule, odd humor

reproductive rights issues:
- abortion
- birth control
also reproductive rights issues:
- doctors performing c sections during births without informed consent
- eugenics via sterilization requirements for trans people to change documentation
- eugenics via forced/nonconsenting sterilization of disabled people
- eugenics via forced/nonconsenting sterilization of people of color
- eugenics via selective abortion of disabled fetuses (fetuses with Down syndrome especially) (these are abortions sought by people who WANT to be pregnant–but only with non-disabled children, when there’s absolutely no guarantee that a non-disabled child won’t become disabled)
if your reproductive rights activism doesn’t incorporate ALL OF THE ABOVE, i want no part of it.

Also add ‘doctors pressuring/forcing episiotomies’ to the list.
