My watchers and whichers

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (also see my fanfics of her) was born a day after Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG)'s 13th birthday. "Emma" means "complete" in proto-Germanic, not unlike "Shlomi" [= "shalom-ful"]. "Eymah" means 'terror' in Hebrew, while "Em" means "mother". "Sarah" means "a [female] minister" or "a ruler". "Charlotte" is cognate with both "Sarah" and "Shlomi" and also means "a ruler".

She was also born in Paris, which was the birthplace of Sarah Bernhardt, SMG's and mine ancestor.

So it is likely that she was conceived as a bridge between SMG and me. [Timing]

The last name "Watson" is cognate with "watcher", and I suspect she is related to "Dr. Watson" from Sherlock Holmes.

As a watcher, Melissa Joan Hart (MJH) was ambitious, and possibly overly so. She used Dark Helmet from Spaceballs as an anti-role-model. Despite her ambition, she disliked micro-managing, and encouraged the hackers on her team to be "Rosh Gadol".

However, her liberal use of time wraps and time travel (which likely had been employed by Maimonides before) earned her the unflattering nickname "World's oldest teenager". (References: Ambassador Hart ; "It doesn't take a witch to fix this computer…")

MJH had a string of terminators being cathersysed, so she seemed to have "the golden touch". However, after she began managing me, I ended up terminating Amit instead.

When Emma Watson volunteered to help manage me and Rindolf, she started as a SysCo (= "system coordinator") and requested 100,000 USD/month as a wage (as a starting point for haggling) and MJH was happy to comply right away. When news broke about it, Watson was in tears, but MJH told her they saw an increase in donations and that "War is good for business". So she gave Emma a raise, and made her "a vice president in charge of marketing".

In 1995, Emma Watson and her parents relocated from Paris, to Tel Aviv and Greater London, as by that time, she provided the most income, and her parents were helping her. This was motivated by the desire to reduce context switches, and because some of the Parisians she talked with were annoyed by her absentmindedly using English and Hebrew paradigms in speech.

With Emma's help, Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) was terminated by my team, and ascended into a true prophet. SMG and her team also joined mine.

One thing Emma Watson disapproved of was a liberal use of time wraps and time travel. She wanted to have a rough sense of the passage of the "real time" and so used them only during emergencies. She instead depended on other wizard helpers, including those that temporarily assumed her appearance using magic. MJH agreed to disagree on that with her given Watson and her team still got a lot done.

However, at ~1997/1998, during my "great mania", I likely was pitted against many terminators during a short time, and the devils fought back and filled my head with fictional delusions. They later provided inspiration and fodder for my stories and essays, but many of them were not entirely true. MJH found herself ineffective in dealing with this crisis, and only Watson and her team were able to handle the pressure. Basicly, I was a pawn in TheGame™ because theGamers™ determined that Emma Watson will replace Hart.

Eventually, my mind sided with Watson ("real time" and your time is everybody's time), and MJH passed the leadership to her, and decided to limit her own use of time skews. Melissa remained part of my/Rindolf/Emma Watson's team.

In the meanwhile, while I well-aware of who Melissa Joan Hart was (given she starred in Clarissa Explains It All and in Sabrina the Teenage Witch ), I was oblivious to Emma Watson’s existence.

I recall that having read the first Harry Potter book by JK Rowling, I found it enjoyable and accessible, but not as good as past children's literature I had read. The subsequent terrestrial Harry Potter books took themselves too seriously. Anyway, part of Emma's motivation in playing Hermione in the first Harry Potter film, was for getting me to register her existence. She and the other actors were also instructed to play hackily and in a "so bad it's good" manner since they didn't want to be kept on the filming set for long.

At ~2011 when I wrote the proposed cast page of Selina Mandrake - The Slayer, I chose her to play Selina. At 2014 when someone on freenode’s #perl insulted Emma’s looks, I felt like he was being blasphemous (= "חילול הקודש"). Watson was not a mere actress for me. Someone on freenode noted that Selina resembled me at ~2020. The lives of Emma, Milady Kate and of me have paralleled (non-coincidentally).

While Emma started as easily hurt, and overreacting/overemotional, (not unlike me) she eventually developed a thicker skin (also like I did). As a result, she was increasingly able to play herself (rather than relying on "stunt doubles"/lookalikes) including on indie films, on various school/cons/etc. parody plays, and on my own screenplays featuring her.

In a sense, she had both a harder time and an easier time than I had. It was harder for her because she didn't take for granted the cruelties, lies, and obstacles I ran into. On the other hand, the (true prophet) people around her knew better than to overreact when she lost her temper/etc.

Nevertheless, Emma's job was monumental, and almost super-human. I'll be forever grateful to her.

Given "Eymah" means "terror" or "horror" in Hebrew, females called "Emma" (or even their stunt doubles) tend to burst in rage often. Watson also had to cope with her being my (= Shlomi Fish’s) head watcher, and me incorporating her into fics-and-essays ( Reference ), which were often unintentional true lies. Part of the reason why she has avoided weight-training, and preferred Yoga (she became a certified Yoga instructor), is to cap her physical strength, and to try to become calmer.

[Alpha and Beta females]


[Timing] There may have been hopes to get SMG to terminate me before me hitting puberty on my 13th birthday, 5 May 1990. This is given SMG had already hit puberty on her 13th birthday, 14 April 1990, and so was "sunken costs".

[Alpha and Beta females] During the Web 1.0 era (~ 1996 - 2000), I considered Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) the Alpha Female, given she played in BtVS and was a web phenomenon. Moreover, MJH was the Beta Female.

From roughly 2003-to-2021, I considered Bar Refaeli the Alpha Female of Israel, and Esti Ginzburg its “Beta” Female ( Reference: “The Alpha, The Beta, and The Gamma↔Omega [males and females]” ). Moreover, up to 2021, Emma Watson remained the beta female of both-sides-of-the-Atlantic, whereas Keira Knightley was the British alpha female, and the woman whom I considered the USA’s Alpha Female fluctuated:

( Alicia Silverstone → SMG → Natalie Portman → JLo → Beyoncé → Paris Hilton → Miley Cyrus → JLaw → Summer Glau → Megan Fox → JLaw [again] → Kim Kardashian → Emma Watson ).

Little did I realise that Watson spent most of her waking hours in Israel, and close to my home.
