Club High Castle

My Uncle Joey passed away suddenly, and I am devastated. He was, without a doubt, the kindest person on Earth. He was always happy, and when he saw us kids, he made us feel as though we were the most important people in the universe. I would get so excited at the prospect of visiting him and run around exclaiming, “Uncle Joey! Uncle Joey!” The ring now hangs on my favorite necklace I’ll never forget the road-trip my mother, step-dad, and I took before I was about to leave home forever to embark on the great adulthood adventure. He lived in a sea-side village in Oregon at the time. He had these “totally awesome” copper rings. When he saw how much I liked them, he gave me one. I always think of him when I open my jewelry box to rummage through the day’s assortment of earrings, rings, and bracelets, and spot it. I have always smiled at it. It is not always easy living so far away from my relatives, so I try to fly out West when I can. I am so utterly thankful that I flew out there in Aug

Earlier this week I was thinking about all things High Castle (no surprises there!). I know I touched on the finality of the series end last time, so I’ll keep this intro short. With the props and costumes gone, I felt my hopes dashed…and then I started drawing. The Man in the High Castle – An Animated Film DISCLAIMER I am not affiliated with Amazon Prime. As far as I know, an animated film is not in the works. This is purely an idea from a dedicated fan. My ideas for the film’s opening sequences Main Plot – Matthew Müller 1961 – Air Force captain Matthew Müller unknowingly travels . He finds himself on the streets of a very different NYC. In disbelief, he stops dead in his tracts. He gazes up at the giant, crimson banner hanging from an unfamiliar building. He is ambushed and thrown to the ground by the Schutzstaffel “What’s with the uniform?” a calm voice drawls. The man standing over him lights a cigarette and begins pacing, his movements casual as though he hadn’t a care in the wo

And trying to make progress on my novel! I swear I will hit one of my monthly writing goals at one point this year! I’m going to go out on a limb and say I was aiming a bit too high when I sat down and made a game plan. I haven’t been able to finish anything since completing my Sisters novel, and I desperately want to change that. #HighCastle/#Babylon5 Bester Circle Skirt Say that ten times fast! No. Seriously. I am making this, and it is A Thing . I bought myself a sewing machine with Christmas money in January, and life is too short to not aspire to create your own vintage fandom ensembles. Isn’t she lovely? I got a great deal on her with Amazon Renewed! My First Sewing Adventure Since 2010 I took time to plan this out because I want this to be the most beautiful and unlikely combination I’ve ever created, which means I wanted to start with something simple. Circle skirts are simple, right? Step 1: Math. Circles. The waist is the circumference, and you need the radius of it in or

It’s been roughly two and a half months since The Man in the High Castle’s series finale dropped, and I am adrift in the Die Nebenwalt of mourning. I miss looking forward to the next season. I miss following the cast and crew as they posted their behind the scenes shenanigans–I miss everything. The finale was perfection. How can anything else ever top it? The show ended with such completeness, that I don’t feel the need to make up my own ending as I’ve often done with other shows. It is hard to come to terms with “It is over” when something has been your life for the past five years. With that being said, I’ll never stop creating High Castle art. It has cemented itself a place in my heart. Something near and dear to my heart S4 autographed poster S2 autographed poster My #HighCastle props auction winnings!

With Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle finale dropping two months ago, I thought it would be fun to sit down and figure out who my favorite characters have been across all four seasons. It was not easy narrowing them down to just ten, but I somehow managed to do it. Without further adieu, my top ten #HighCastle characters! Honorable Mentions  Admiral Inokuchi & the Crown Princess – I adored their practical, yet humane, approach to everything.  Juliana – Her curiosity and determination to solve the mystery about the films and her sister’s death in Season 1 captivated me and forever turned me into a fan of the show.  10. Joe Blake  – One of my favorite scenes throughout the series is when Joe discovers his past. His gut wrenching reaction and how he eventually swore loyalty to his father made the character all the more interesting for me, so he has earned his place in my top ten! 9. Bell Mallory  – She makes it onto my top ten because she went from a cold hardliner to a kind heroi
