Jay: Verbally, because judging from the look on Nadine’s face, the musical number we prepared isn’t going to work.

As if a phantom caress'd me,
I thought I was not alone walking here by the shore;
But the one I thought was with me as now I walk by the shore,
the one I loved that caress'd me,
As I lean and look through the glimmering light,
that one has utterly disappear'd.
And those appear that are hateful to me and mock me.
- As if a phantom caress'd me, Walt Whitman

What are your headcanon voices for the Mewtwo fam?
Jericho's voice is the same as it is in the DP movie (Kotaro Wantanabe)
Sivith- Sapphira, Eragon (Rachel Weisz)
Child Amber- Coraline from Coraline (Dakota Fanning)
Teen/adult Amber- Katara, AtLA (Mae Whitman)
Child Blu- Aang, AtLA (Zach Eison)
Teen Blu- Hiccup, HTTYD (Jay Baruchel)
And Mew doesn't really have a headcanon voice. I just imagine her voice being feminine and high-pitched lol

Here's what may very well be in my opinion one of the most interesting pieces of "What Could Have Been" or "cancelled media" that I think could've actually been awesome. So here's everything that I was able to gather on it and it was a looooooooooot.
Originally back in 2011/12, Dwayne McDuffie conceived of and was looking to develop a Gwen and Charmcaster spin-off series which he mapped out a fair amount of it and actually planned it out through-and-through. But what ended up happening to throw it out the window was as simple as can be — Dwayne McDuffie died. Therefore it ended up getting replaced with the still polarizing Omniverse.
So let's begin, shall we:
The tentative title for the series or rather idea was "Where The Magic Happens", named after the Ultimate Alien episode of the same name. Ledgerdomain was to be one of the main primary locations in the spinoff.
It was to take place a week after the events of UA's series finale and pick up Charmcaster's storyline from where it left off with the episode "Couples Retreat". Dwayne McDuffie liked both characters so much that he thought the two could hold their own show together.
Ashley Johnson and Kari Wahlgren were obviously gonna reprise their roles but Gwen would've had a different look from time to time. As in sometimes she would be in her AF look and other times she would be in her UA look.
The premise was essentially gonna be this:
Gwen and Charmcaster were gonna become unlikely and hesitant allies who team up to protect Ledgerdomain and fight crime with Gwen deciding to use her powers to help others full on and Charmcaster doing whatever it can to save her home.
A main plot point would've been Gwen developing a type of PTSD due to several things she's been through throughout the previous three shows, especially this scene from the OG episode "The Return". Being crushed by a tower as a child is giving her reoccurring nightmares that begin affecting her life only for Charmcaster to help her through it seeing as she owes it to her after "Where The Magic Happens" and "Couples Retreat".
On top of that, it would've also explained why the events of the OG Ben 10 happened coincidentally during the summer road trip as a sort of crawling out of the woodwork.
One thing that was to be featured in this series were easter eggs and references to the events of other media that heavily implied a shared universe. For example, in-passing they were to bring up the T-Rex from Isla Sornia Site-B rampaging through San Diego back in the late 90s. Sound familiar?
Another thing is it's still unclear as to whether or not Ben would've appeared in the show as either a cameo or a full on appearance in an episode. So that's still up in the air.
As far as I can tell, a three part pilot was written by McDuffie along with a series bible as he pictured the show running for five seasons but so far nothing has been released. Understandably.
An interesting thing here is there was gonna be a flashback episode that would've been set after the events of "Secret Of The Omnitrix" where Charmcaster kidnaps Gwen from her home for one final confrontation.
Another juicy tidbit would've been a reoccurring villain that ultimately becomes the main antagonist as the show progressed - in this case, it's a pastor who develops dangerously unstable telekinetic powers after surviving a plane crash. McDuffie wanted Clancy Brown to voice him.
Other actors that McDuffie wanted for the show were Michael Jai White, John Lithgow, John Kassir, Geno Segers, Mae Whitman, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Morena Baccarin, Greg Abbey, Powers Boothe and Will Friedle. Cool.
One thing that was to play a major role was a large book that Charmcaster's written during her time in Ledgerdomain that chronicled the history of magic in the world as well as how the numerous alien races play a part in its creation.
Unfortunately here's the last piece of information that is available or I can find on this cancelled spinoff and it's a good one: Dwayne McDuffie wanted to have comic book-inspired title cards for the episode and he was eyeing Tim Jacobus as the artist to design them.
So yeah this would end up being replaced by the still very polarizing Ben 10: Omniverse and top it off, McDuffie passed away.
But it's still interesting nonetheless. Would any of you have loved to have seen this show.
Let me know what you think of all this.

G. Frank Pearsall Walt Whitman, New York City c.1872
The negro holds firmly the reins of his four horses, the block swags underneath on its tied-over chain,
The negro that drives the long dray of the stone-yard, steady and tall he stands pois'd on one leg on the string-piece,
His blue shirt exposes his ample neck and breast and loosens over his hip-band,
His glance is calm and commanding, he tosses the slouch of his hat away from his forehead,
The sun falls on his crispy hair and mustache, falls on the black of his polish'd and perfect limbs.
I behold the picturesque giant and love him, and I do not stop there,
I go with the team also.
In me the caresser of life wherever moving, backward as well as forward sluing,
To niches aside and junior bending, not a person or object missing,
Absorbing all to myself and for this song.
Oxen that rattle the yoke and chain or halt in the leafy shade, what is that you express in your eyes?
It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.
My tread scares the wood-drake and wood-duck on my distant and day-long ramble,
They rise together, they slowly circle around.
I believe in those wing'd purposes,
And acknowledge red, yellow, white, playing within me,
And consider green and violet and the tufted crown intentional,
And do not call the tortoise unworthy because she is not something else,
And the jay in the woods never studied the gamut, yet trills pretty well to me,
And the look of the bay mare shames silliness out of me.
-- Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself, XIII" c.1867

Does art make a difference?
Aw, sure. Of course there are degrees of extremity to the potential change that art can effect, depending on how many people are able to engage with it. The Beatles made a huge difference in the world. But Henry Darger, Jeff McKissack, Karen Dalton, Pauline Oliveros, Kenneth Patchen – there are so many folks who have made great art and not gotten massively famous for it, yet I think there are all sorts of ways their work informs and shapes other people’s work, and brains, and decisions.
Should politics and art mix?
Well, everything mixes, the New Statesman! That’s like asking if a knee-reflex hammer and a quadriceps tendon should “mix”.
Is your work for the many or for the few?
That’s for the many/few to say. I just crank out the hot jams.
If you were world leader, what would be your first law?
Gravity. I feel like we need to tighten up the constitutional protections that particular law enjoys. It’s a ticking time bomb, if you ask me.
Who would be your top advisers?
Cute angel on one shoulder, cute devil on the other.
What, if anything, would you censor?
Maybe we could all agree to not bust each other’s chops all cut-dang day.
If you had to banish one public figure, who would it be?
Don’t know, banishment might be a little extreme, but I’d sure like to take that Stephen Hawking dude down a notch or two. Right? Are you with me?
What are the rules that you live by?
Basically, “bros before hos”. I feel like if you stay true to that, everything else just kind of falls into place.
Do you love your country?
I love William Faulkner, Dolly Parton, fried chicken, Van Dyke Parks, the Grand Canyon, Topanga Canyon, bacon cheeseburgers with horseradish, Georgia O’Keeffe, Grand Ole Opry, Gary Snyder, Gilda Radner, Radio City Music Hall, Big Sur, Ponderosa pines, Southern BBQ, Highway One, Kris Kristofferson, National Arts Club in New York, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Joni Mitchell, Ernest Hemingway, Harriet Tubman, Hearst Castle, Ansel Adams, Kenneth Jay Lane, Yuba River, South Yuba River Citizens League, “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”, “Hired Hand”, “The Jerk”, “The Sting”, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, clambakes, lobster rolls, s’mores, camping in the Sierra Nevadas, land sailing in the Nevada desert, riding horseback in Canyon de Chelly; Walker Percy, Billie Holiday, Drag City, Chez Panisse/Alice Waters/slow food movement, David Crosby, Ralph Lauren,San Francisco Tape Music Center, Albert Brooks, Utah Phillips, Carol Moseley Braun, Bolinas CA, Ashland OR, Lawrence KS, Austin TX, Bainbridge Island WA, Marilyn Monroe, Mills College, Elizabeth Cotton, Carl Sandburg, the Orange Show in Houston, Toni Morrison, Texas Gladden, California College of Ayurvedic Medicine, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Saturday Night Live, Aaron Copland, Barack Obama, Oscar de la Renta, Alan Lomax, Joyce Carol Oates, Fred Neil, Henry Cowell, Barneys New York, Golden Gate Park, Musee Mechanique, Woody Guthrie, Maxfield Parrish, Malibu, Maui, Napa Valley, Terry Riley, drive-in movies, homemade blackberry ice cream from blackberries picked on my property, Lil Wayne, Walt Whitman, Halston, Lavender Ridge Grenache from Lodi CA, Tony Duquette, Julia Morgan, Lotta Crabtree, Empire Mine, North Columbia Schoolhouse, Disneyland, Nevada County Grandmothers for Peace; Roberta Flack, Randy Newman, Mark Helprin, Larry David, Prince; cooking on Thanksgiving; Shel Siverstein, Lee Hazlewood, Lee Radziwill, Jackie Onassis, E.B. White, William Carlos Williams, Jay Z, Ralph Stanley, Allen Ginsberg, Cesar Chavez, Harvey Milk, RFK, Rosa Parks, Arthur Miller, “The Simpsons”, Julia Child, Henry Miller, Arthur Ashe, Anne Bancroft, The Farm Midwifery Center in TN, Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt, Clark Gable, Harry Nilsson, Woodstock, and some other stuff. Buuuut, the ol’ U S of A can pull some pretty dick moves. I’m hoping it’ll all come out in the wash...
Are we all doomed?
If we keep our expectations pretty low I think we might be fine. I mean, we’re definitely all dying at some point. There’s no getting around that. But between now and then, things might start looking up!
— Joanna Newsom for The New Statesman, 2008
#joanna newsom#isn't she simultaneously just the most hilarious and thoughtful person?#i love her so much#a few people have asked me for that one quote about loving her country but the whole interview is a real gem i hope y'all enjoy it#love joanna#jnew

Zoe Whitman
Witch
Zoe was an only child and most definitely the apple of her parent’s eyes. She had never struggled in school, exceling in art and literature, rarely argued with her parents, and always followed the rules. She didn’t have the perfect life, loneliness was a frequent visitor, but she was content. Her family was close with other members of the Hexmore court and very loyal to the coven, Zoe knew her parents hoped she would marry someone who shared their affiliation. Imagine their surprise seeing her hand in hand with a known wild child.
Where her parents might have seen a hinderance to their daughters future, Zoe saw freedom and adventure. Jay was like a breath of fresh air, all worries and walls would dissipate for him; it wasn’t a mystery why everyone gravitated towards him, but he only ever entertained her attention. Her once overbearing thoughts would finally be focused on one thing; him. It was her first love, maybe that contributed to the speed at which she fell, but he made her feel alive and she was addicted to it.
Their senior year of high school a reality check came crashing in in the form of a positive pregnancy test. The shift was almost immediate; the two tried to continue on as normal, as if there wasn’t a heavy tension in the air. Jay began getting antsy in her presence, and creating more time to spend with his friends. Not only did they begin to argue more but people began to look at her different, some even going as far to spit demeaning words in her direction. The boring life she had once been satisfied with was worlds away; the small baby now staring up at her making that painfully clear. They had tried to stay together after she gave birth, but she no longer felt the passion she once did, rather a sour taste was left in her mouth. As fast as she could Zoe left Hexmore to hopefully never look back, to forget about the love, and loss, and judgment. Unfortunately, even then she knew, Hexmore wasn’t a place that was easily walked away from.
Wanted Connections
Zoe had a very interesting youth; where as most girls her age in Hexmore might be honing their supernatural skills, she was taking part in a whirlwind romance that resulted in her getting pregnant. This boy had changed the course of her life the day they met, he taught her that letting go of inhibitions was sometimes a good thing and to grab life by the horns because their biological clock was always ticking. With his help she had shrugged off her cautious, quiet demeanor. Things began to spiral between them when it was announced that she was pregnant, eventually causing Zoe to leave Hexmore. It’s been roughly eight years since Zoe has been back home, and though she doesn’t have a longing to see her old flame the thought does inspire anxiety within her. (in her bio i have his name as Jay but that’s not set in stone)
It’s been years since Zoe has laid eyes on her home, part of her wonders if people even remember her. She’s surprised when someone from her past does in fact recognize her, funnily enough Zoe and this person had never gotten along. Now with years apart under their belts it seems the animosity they had once felt for each other has simmered, in fact, Zoe’s mood doesn’t plummet every time she’s around this person. There is still a slight an awkward air between the two, but that’s an improvement in her book.
Her family has always been deeply involved with the Hexmore coven, but now that she’s back in town Zoe would like to fly as much under the radar as she can. However, she realizes her power comes from the connections her ancestors have built with the court so she waters those relationships where she can. One day, she makes a surprising friend out of someone who has no ties to the court, and once again she tastes a little bit of that freedom from her familial expectations when with this person. She wouldn’t go as far as to say they are best friends, but there is no denying she feels relaxed with this person.

100. How about two actors play LeRoi Jones and Amiri Baraka discussing anti-Semitism in an episode of a less comedic season of poetic history set in the 1960s?
101. Is it possible to think of anything in the 1950s without thinking of the murder of Emmett Till in 1955?
102. Does Emmett Till or Rosa Parks trigger the Civil Rights Movement?
103. Did you know President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in the same year James Baldwin published The Fire Next Time?

109. Did you know Lucille Clifton went to Howard University with Amiri Baraka when he was known as LeRoi Jones?
110. If the poet representative of the last American century is, like the century, a mess of experiments, contradictions, and conviction, isn't Baraka a pretty good representative poet?
111. How about a vision of the American poet starring a mother (Lucille Clifton) who writes poems while raising her six children in Maryland in the 1970s?
112. Can you believe that Baraka's 1968 anthology of Afro-American writing, Black Fire, featured essays by John Henrik Clarke and Harold Cruse and poems by Sun Ra, David Henderson, A.B. Spellman, Sonia Sanchez, Henry Dumas, Jay Wright, Stanley Crouch, Lorenzo Thomas, and Victor Hernández Cruz, but did not include poems by Lucille Clifton, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Hayden, Bob Kaufman, Etheridge Knight, or Audre Lorde?
113. What do you think of Audre Lorde's "Power"?
114. Have you ever read "Those Winter Sundays" and wondered what happened to the mother in the poem?
115. Have you ever met anyone familiar with the poems of Allen Ginsberg's father, Louis Ginsberg?
116. If you write a poem like "Howl," do you really need to write anything else?

118. When you write a poem, what does it teach you about the past?
119. Did you know Ginsberg reads the entirety of his poem "When the Light Appears" in the song "When the Light Appears Boy" on the album When I Was Born for the 7th Time, released by Cornershop in 1997, the year of Ginsberg's death?

Idk if you've already answered a question like this, but have you given each of your characters a canon voice? Like a person that they sound like. If so, who or what do they sound like?
Well admittedly, don't have voice claims for everyone 😅
Mewtwo keeps his voice from the Detective Pikachu film
Child Amber I've still been considering. But after seeing Nimona, I think Nimona's voice fits her well >:3
Teen Amber's is Mae Whitman (or Katara from AtLA)
Newtwo's is Rachel Weisz (specifically when she voiced Saphira in Eragon)
Child Blu is Aang from AtLA. After TC did this animatic I can't unhear it XD
Teen Blu is Jay Baruchel (Hiccup httyd)
Mew's voice is described as high-pitched, though I never gave her a specific voice claim
Gwen, I've stated long ago that she has a british accent, if anyone remembers that, lol. As for a voice claim, probably Emilia Clarke (Daenerys targaryen)
You'd think Lakota, Mandy and Jay would be some of the first ones I'd have set for voices but they don't XD Mandy is basically my best friend's character, so I always picture her with my friend's voice. Jay and Lakota don't have one.
So Mew, Lakota and Jay are the only ones that don't have a voice claim
