Tweed-Writer

A Story by Abishai100

A 1800s-NY street-era social pulpit pulp-writer/vigilante forms the 'ancestral' Western 'chess' ideations of self-inventive culture-Ego.

A 'design' vignette inspired by the historical imaginations of Gangs of New York (Martin Scorsese). Happy Holidays,

Amlan Satan was a pickpocket-rascal of the Tweed-era of old New York (1800s) and used the social pulpit to cast special vigilante-lore and masked himself at night to drop milk-skin bags filled with warm-water onto the heads of passing vandals/thugs who'd be disgraced in street-prestige by the humiliating 'attack' at night. Amlan Satan then masked this vigilante ID as a normal 'overground' affable 1800s-NY street-writer named the Tweed-Writer (wow).

TWEED-WRITER: Being a pirate in this time of great immigration-chess and street-lore-IQ requires a special human race (ha).

Of course the modern age was filled with more robust tales/news of vigilant cops and criminals engaged in more organized forms of crime, and this 1800s-NY era therefore prompted more 'basic' ideations of city-resilience imagination which is why it'd been cast recently in modern social-media/cinema as 'look-worthy' by today's stars/producers looking for design-continuity in New York's general 'fanzine' aesthetic (wow).

TWEED-WRITER: I managed to lift/keep a special 'antique' treasure (violin) from a vandal-gang leader as the vigilante-man.

Amlan Satan ('Tweed-Writer') costumed himself in street-raggedy clothing/fashioned designed to make himself 'appear' as some self-inventive street-theater performer, all the while unwittingly creating a sort of 'magical' NY design/aesthetic 'continuity' we might reference/allude to in modern social-media/'Selfie' culture celebrating the 'ornaments' of consumerism-lifestyle Ego-chess (hmm).

TWEED-WRITER: Seems to me this sort of work invokes the fables of organized 'rascals' devoted to the 'fashion' of inventions!

Well, the 'street' fashions of Tweed-era NY (1800s) did indeed invoke a certain 'magic' regarding the lines of practicality and also 'style' consciousness, and we saw images by historians wishing to make contours of line-imagination between the aristocracy and the street-practical 'hellcats' of that time, models or queens or faeries (ha).

TWEED-WRITER: Me wonders what the endurance-legacy of this 'fashion' era shall be and if we'd be 'immortals' by benefits.

That time in New York was an inventive era of theatrical life and street-pragmatism and dividing contours between the rich and the 'useful' as immigration-stories and news and 'gang' differences poured into the public theater-halls and public drinking/party spaces.

TWEED-WRITER: There's a funny sportsmanship or 'chess' to all this human-race Ego.

BOSS TWEED: If we can harness the gang-wars of immigrants clashing, we'll establish a monolith for profit-chess Ego (hmm).

Today, we still see 'street-fashions' consciousness but mostly in the form of regional/community human-youth spirits and fanfare surrounding the 'cheers' of local pro-football (or baseball!) teams, so that Tweed-era of 1800s New York, in which Amlan Satan was sort of a 'red-line ancestor' for this new 21st-Century 'form' of self-inventive 'culture' media Ego (hmm).
