Dear readers,
It appears that the leadership team of RAPS Inc. had fallen victim to some sort of hoax. There was talk of “misinformation”, and a certain calendar date associated with pranks and fools was mentioned. I call it overreaction. So while we wait for today’s Twitter Q&A and to make up for yesterday’s prank, RAPS Inc. is proud to unveil their latest creation, a John Porter RAPS commissioned by Nokisuu. She “finally took the courage” (quote) to write and ask for a shrine in May last year. Jesus Christ Akimbo – it has taken RAPS Inc. a long time to get the order out!!! So without further ado, here is dirty and dangerous Porter!
The harmless exterior (no parental advisory *there*) hides this interior:
He may be operating in the shade, but Porter really is a figure of light in my book. He’s not really a saint, I guess, but I think he deserves some laurels. And his profile is worth looking at. Both pre-op and post-action.
That’s the shrine in full action, with an excerpt from the file that the CIA is keeping on him.
Harmless? Well, Nokisuu can adapt the shrine to suit her needs, because thankfully the researchers have equipped the shrine with a number of photographic evidence of Porter… I think this is my personal favourite:
As usual, the devil is in the detail.
This is the full choice of material Nokisuu can drool over familiarize herself with, it all fits neatly under the paperclip:
There we have it. Hope this befits the SAS/Section 20 hero. And finds Nokisuu’s approval.
And now let’s tweet a few questions at #AskArmitage. See you later @OlivierAwards.

Yesterday morning when I had the house for myself for a moment I took all portraits out and had a moment of appreciation looking at them. They gave me strentgh to get through the day (I had gotten some bad news on Monday and Tuesday) and I just want to thank you for a perfect RAPS.
Better late than never 😉

You were more than patient, Nokisuu, and I sincerely feel ashamed that it took me so long. There was a bit of burn-out on my part, but mainly it was due to the inaccessibility of my work room. In any case, I hope that the bad news will get under control! If the RAPS provides even the slightest bit of distraction, then it will have served its purpose. I hope it reminds you of positive, good, fun feelings, to overcome the stress of the negative that we deal with every day. (((xxx)))

Usually, I like the almost grown kittens. They’re pretty funny. This particular group has been up front – you THINK we’re doing that? Try again. And then they do their own thing. At least they’re doing ti quietly and I’m simply leaving a note, which is all I can do. but I’m getting a LOT of writing done! Gary 4 will probably post in the next 24 hours and Gary 5 is well on its way! I believe I have the next installment of Roland’s arc in the can somewhere and the continuance of that well on its way and the arc and time line for Guy’s reincarnation #2 – William Edward – has a FULL story. I mean FULL!!!!! He was a busy busy bad ass!
I need to find some nipplitage on my computer somewhere. I believe all of it is on the main external at home. Meh!

Ha, no, I am not – anyone could come up with this. There’s enough inspiration around. This one was sparked by the end credits of SB Ep 6 when the voice-over lists his characteristics. “resourceful, tenacious, possibly obsessive-compulsive” sounded like a profile. It took it from there…

Cheers Hari, you are very kind 🙂 Yes, I love those bits that can be moved and changed, that is the best part of shrining, when I come up with an interactive idea. It doesn’t always happen, and the more of these boxes I make, the more such ideas are gone (as I don’t like repeating myself).
The shadow figure is basically a quote from the show, but it looks even better when it is almost-3D 🙂

Guytly, did you ever see the 1970 Wuthering Heights with Timothy Dalton? It may not have been the best film adaptation, but Dalton was deliciously regal and brooding, and the music score by Michel Legrand burns through my soul.

Damn, I nearly read that as “cheesy” Porter and was ready to jump to his defense *ggg*. But chesty is good. 😀
Yep, Ralph is very smouldery in it. It was really interesting to compare the 1992 version with the 2011 version in which Heathcliff was played by a black actor. Even though I always liked the 1992 film, I have to say it looked positively antiquated (cinematographically) against this: I recommend watching. It’s not quite the whole story, and it is told with very little dialogue. But the images are much more evocative than the static opulence of the older film.
