The Raven King - Chapter Seven

Day: Thursday, September 21st Time: 8:30 PM EST

He knew things about them he'd never bothered to learn about anyone else in his entire life. Renee's birth name was Natalie; her adoptive mother renamed her when she pulled Renee out of the foster system. Her mother was the reason she and Dan were at Palmetto State. Stephanie Walker was a reporter who'd interviewed Wymack with the ulterior motive of marketing Renee to him. Wymack flew to North Dakota during spring championships to watch Renee's team take on their biggest rivals. Dan happened to be captain of the rival team, and Wymack was impressed by her fierce performance. He signed them both that same weekend.

Dan, aka Hennessey, had gotten a fake ID back in high school so she could work as a stripper in a nearby city. The hours worked well around her classes and Exy schedule, and it made the money she needed. Her aunt was unemployed and stuck at home with a newborn. Dan somehow had to support all three of them. Dan said she stopped talking to her aunt the second she moved out, but she kept in touch with her former coworkers. Supposedly they were all waiting for her to become a hotshot star. That was how Neil found out Dan didn't want to go professional after college. She wanted to be a coach, and she planned on seizing the FoxholeCourt when Wymack retired down the road. She would maintain Wymack's recruiting standards in his absence. Matt was wholeheartedly in favor of the idea. Matt was an interesting countermeasure to Dan's scrappy background: the wealthy and well-educated son of a professional boxer and a high-profile plastic surgeon. His parents separated years ago, in large part due to his father's unending infidelity, but weren't officially divorced. Matt grew up with his father, since his mother's career meant a lot of time on the road. Matt minced his words when talking about his father but could go on about his mother at length. She was his idol, and Neil found listening to his stories as interesting as it was painful. When Matt talked about summer breaks spent drag racing in the mountains Neil remembered the sound his mother's corpse made when he tried peeling it off a vinyl seat.

Something I've been wondering since a lot of the older cats tend to get cast younger and younger recently - are there any performers you could plausibly see as "real" younger versions of those characters?

Anon, that is actually a super interesting question (and I hope I'm understanding what you're asking for; apologies if I misunderstood - if you are asking whether there are performers who have not played the role but played others and can get away with playing them, honestly I'm not a big proponent of having all super young swings and understudies, and I've spoken at length about that before), but there *are* actually a handful of performers of past (which means that they *were* young when they initially took the role and looked it) and present that I could feasibly see as younger (and by "younger" I mean like more in the 20s) faceclaims or "versions" of my beloved older cats (and that I often will note back too when I'm trying to picture them in my mind).

From what I have heard and seen of them, they also give off more of a younger vibe, either due to the lack of maturity in their voices, or their general dispositions, that I think works well as these characters but younger. Imagine a different bunch of teenagers and gapped teeth babies running around the Junkyard hollering at one another and whining at their parents before *they* became the parents, ahaha.

I can give you some of my favourites to avoid wasting too much space. I can do a Part 2 with Asparagus/Gus, Old D and Grizabella if you're interested:

Skimbleshanks:

Matthew Gould (on his first go around; he aged into it much better the second go - Ross Finnie could technically also take this spot)

Philip Bertioli (and this is a costume thing but his vest always looked too big for him which just amped up the baby vibe)

Giovanni DiGabriele

Hayden Baum (specifically his first go around - that is a baby)

Tyler Keller (who looks *particularly* old photo like in this shot with the filter and expression - slap a black and white or sepia filter over that and tell me that's not an old photograph)

Taylor Scanlan (also *very* baby and *very* pretty*).

(Others for consideration if these don't tickle your fancy: Sandy Rass, Sean McManus, Shaun Henson, Jon-Paul Christensen, Philip Comley, Dann Dunn, Brian O'Muiri, Billy Mahoney, Jarryd Nurden, Park Seong-ryong, Bryan Mottram

Jellylorum:

Catrin Darnell

Susan Powers

Joanna Beck

Lindsay Dyett

Jeanne Montano

Erin James

Annemarie Rosano

(Others: Liz Izen, Louise Tomkins, Bonnie Simmons, Nina Hennessey, Marcy DeGonge, Jennifer Vaden, Thea MacNeil, Lisa-Marie Parker, Carrie Willis, Megan Arseneau, Taila Halford, and Alice Batt. S/O to Pia Douwes who toed the baby line, and nearly all Jellylorums in the Shiki production and a good chunk of the US Tour 5 who are and were - more often than not - quite young and look it)

Jennyanydots:

Stephanie Johns

Lisbeth Brittain

Laura Darkins

Lucinda Shaw

Erica Leigh Hansen

Ellie Nunan

(Others: Mary Trainor, Renée Knapp, Kati Farkas, Jennifer Cohen, Amanda Bay, Laura McCulloch, Melina Charles, Hanny Aden, Alice Redmond, Abigail Dever, Sarah-Marie Maxwell kinda sorta but tbh I think it's the makeup, Eloise Kropp, Maria Briggs - who is like elementary school Jenny -, Emily Jeanne Phillips, Ayumi Kato, and Megan Carton)

#If I'd have to pick ultimate showdown visual favourites it'd be Taylor Scanlan #Erica Leigh and Jeanne or Annemarie so imagine that as a group #Skimbleshanks #Jellylorum #Jennyanydots #jellicles ask because jellicles dare #anonymous #we used to be with it and cool but then what it was changed and IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU #and what i mean in the previous description is like...some people are young and look young #and are imo not able to pull off convincing me that they are potentially more along the middle aged spectrum #some people are young but they *do* have a more mature look about their face and disposition #and they have a lot easier of a time convincing me that they are middle aged (even if they aren't)#whoever the anon is asking all these neat questions know that i love you and am giving you a present in my mind

muse K and muse L were best friends since diapers . at least until middle school . once they started growing up, muse L always thought of muse K as their best friend while muse K started to feel like they were living in muse L’s shadow . sometimes it�� even felt as if their own mother loved muse L more . so for muse K, everything became a competition and it became their goal to be better than muse L in anything . so when muse L had to leave for full two months of summer to a foreign country, muse K bloomed . they were main attention focus yet again . made their new friends circle who follows them as lost puppies and has been spotted with muse M in intimate situations, who happens to be muse L’s ex significant other . but muse L’s comeback bursted the bubble muse K lived in for the entire summer and right now, the real question is whether muse K will go back to living in muse L’s shadow or will they go against their years of friendship ? and let’s not forget muse M in the picture . is the upper east side getting their own love trio ?

as muse K : cherrie velasquez .

as muse L : paris jeong .

as muse M : nika siriphon chaiyakan .

born as a ( manipulation tactic ) miracle baby in the midst of a messy divorce, cherrie was destined to have a bit of a crazy life . it was evident early on that her mother only saw her as her most prized possession in terms of another thing to brag about . meanwhile her father was in awe of his little princess yet with him moving to california pretty early in her life, he wasn’t as present as both he and herself would’ve wanted . because of this, her mother immediately began molding her daughter into becoming her clone, her own prodigy . she began acting at the age of six on disney channel and starred mainly in films with an occasional guest starring role on a show . being apart of the network was how she got exposed to the music industry with it soon becoming a main focus later on in her life .

at some point she was burned out from acting around her starting middle school . thankfully she sustained an injury that allowed her to sit out of it during middle school which was where a lot of things changed . her closest friend was a booming model already at such a young age - which wasn’t a bad thing, at least not in the beginning . she adored asking the other about their schedules and recent shoots but it was her mother who began comparing the two of them that ignited an insecurity in cherrie that she will never get over once getting older . it got worse when small jokes like calling the other her favorite child seemed a bit more serious than normal . the day she sorta snapped was when her told her friend that she wished she was her daughter instead . cherrie spent hours that night crying and cutting up photos of them together before deciding that she had to do something about this .

so cherrie started moving in silence . she became more attentive than normal, mentally noting ( sometimes physically noting ) the moves her best friend started making as they got older . meanwhile she began crafting a path of her own in music but covered it up with modeling . she was too short for the runway but she had the face fit for a commercial and for billboards scattered across ny . it began with cosmetics then jewelry, eventually leading up to her advertising for designer brands all while keeping up her acting career despite absolutely hating the industry . sitting front row at fashion shows and wearing exclusively tailored gowns on red carpets, increased followings - it was what she deserved after waiting so long . yet everything truly fell into place during a faithful summer where she truly shined . those two months were used to launch her music career, releasing her first single where it quickly blew up faster than anyone suspected it to . this was it ! everything was falling right into place . no more comparisons, no more taunting from her mother, no more -

oh . . . right . her friend had to come back . cherrie almost forgot about that . too caught up in her little reality, she had to bring herself back down to earth to keep up her usual persona of the best friend . but she didn’t feel threatened, oh no ! cherrie managed to build up her own empire and there was nothing anyone could do to make her falter . that would be true if she wasn’t doing the complete opposite behind closed doors ; drinking herself into an angry frenzy just to crash in her walk-in closet next to her christian louboutin heels . this period of time sparked the “ unhinged ” era for her as she excessively partied to her hearts content, wrecked an ex’s car, and was even spotted doing something shifty with her best friend’s ex . truly it was a time of her life no one could forget .

soon she managed to sober herself up and went about her life liked none of that ever happened . her music consistently grew more and more popular which eventually led her to winning a grammy for best new artist that many people were very skeptical about since she was still considered a fresh new singer . this sparked many accusations and conspiracy theorists coming out about how fast cherrie’s career been growing since her first release, with some fans of other artists calling out her step father for being behind everything as he had insane ties to the music industry . but no one will ever know the truth . . . but time will tell .

✼ ʾ ──── 𝘩𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑠 .

it’s heavily implied within the media that the cause of her parents’ divorce was because her mother was having an affair with andres even before they split up . she believes it but won’t address that publicly .

on the topic of andres, i definitely picture him to be a very well-respected producer &&. writer for big name artists . think dark child, pharrell, timberland but like . . . if they were super villain coded . basically he’s widely known for down playing smaller artists &&. cockblocking them on radios on whatnot . definitely not a good guy .

her mother truly started to turn on her because she had brought cherrie the lead spot on a children’s movie when she was younger and they argued over it for a while . magically days later, she gets injured and can’t participate in the filming anymore which really pissed her off because she thinks she did it on purpose .

cherrie doesn’t really act anymore . it’s more of a side quest than a priority like it was at some point . genuinely do not bring up her acting career, she itches even thinking about it . she does however, like voice acting for some strange reason .

goes to therapy ! she’s been seeing her therapist for a year now and thinks she’s making progress . no one knows this btw .

believe it or not, she’s always in a plotting mood . if you see her swirling her straw around in her drink just staring at everybody, just know her brain’s on the move .

really fucking untrustworthy like i mean it . your dark secrets just might be exposed through her but it can never be traced back unless she’s like . . . the only person who knew but she’s typically very careful about that kind of stuff . it’s never out of malicious intent, either . she just enjoys seeing herself climb up the social ranks a bit quicker due to someone’s stupidity .

very good at hiding her true intentions !! she’ll be on your side through thick and thin and will never really let you in on her full picture unless she trusts you ( rare !! ) but do not fall for her tricks . she’s playing a pick me !! she’s an actress !! she can act !!

you’ve reached the end of her bio ! all connections can be found here . if you wish to plot, you can im me or find me on discord @ too hot to cool off#3818 . i am really invested in her &&. hope you guys like her just as much as i do !!
