Part 10 Trolls Headcanons/ Theories/ Thoughts/ Ideas

This may be my last headcanons list, my friends. Will still do art and stuff but I am fresh outta ideas.

Part1 Part2 Part3 Part4 Part5 Part6 Part7 Part8 Part9

Enjoy 💕

Sub Tribes - KPop/Reggaeton/Yodelers/Chaz etc. there's not many of them around because they came from overseas.

King Peppy - Didn't tell Poppy about Viva because he was in the early stages of dementia. (Canon?) For a while he thought Poppy WAS Viva. By the time he realised his 'mistake', Poppy was already grown.

Vacay Island - the brothers sometimes help Bruce at his restaurant. They have name tags with funny 'work names'. Flood, Big Fish, Classy, and Big Brunch. Viva and Poppy have done the odd shift as well, as Pinky and Vista. 😝

Brozone - they became world famous, argued and left BEFORE the cage went around the Pop Troll Tree. (Canon?)

Brozone - there was a rumoured 'unfinished' Brozone song that was supposed to be released after that tour. John finally finishes it and the brothers offer to sing it for Poppy's bridal entrance song. Poppy immediately faints. In my head the song is 'Helpless When She Smiles' by The Backstreet Boys

Brozone - whatever the Trolls equivalent of the Superbowl is, I feel like Bruce and JD would be very into it. Jerseys and face paint and everything.

Bruce - cameras make him self-conscious. If he is in a group he can tolerate it but hates being the only one in the photo.

Bruce - has caught his kids trying to do the Brozone dance routines. He tries to stay out of it best he can and let them have their fun but then they ask him to teach them and doesn't he just melt.

Bruce - has a wedding ring but it is Vacationer sized. He keeps it in his hair mostly but will braid it into his hair like an accessory for special occasions.

Bruce - 100% certain Poppy and Branch's first born would be a boy. "We're a family of five brothers! It took Brandy and I thirteen tries to have a daughter. Trust me, I have no doubt your first egg will absolutely be a boy." *They have a girl* Bruce 😑

Floyd - can only sleep comfortably near an open window. Sometimes can only sleep sitting up.

Floyd - will randomly stare off into space or mutter to himself.

Floyd - *clears throat* I ship Floom! 💕🏳️‍🌈

Floyd - can't stick to new hobbies for very long, he hyperfixates for a week or two then gets bored. Macrame, candle making, soap making, jewelry making, photography are some examples.

Clay - his brothers collectively tried to convince him that he was the adopted brother.

Clay - is quite squeamish. The sight of vomit, open wounds and bodily fluids; Clay will absolutely pass out. Snotty babies make him very uncomfortable.

Clay - gets Viva to braid his hair out of his face only when something really serious is happening *cracks neck* "Viva?" "Yah?" "Braid me" "Yes, Sir." Shwoooop

Clay - Found out the Classical Trolls have a library larger the Pop Village. "Viva, they have a whole wing dedicated to tragedies! Tragedies, Viva!"

Clay - okay, so he and Viva have never been a couple, even if he ever considered it, their work came first and he didn't want to jeopardize what they had. Buuuuuuuttt the thought that another Troll could one day be Viva's person, that she would go to them instead of him for comfort or ideas or laughs or safety or hugs... it makes Clay feel... weird.

Clay - at some point is named some kinda Troll magazines most eligible bachelor. Bro was in a boyband, co-runs a society of survivors, runs a business, is close friends with royalty, has been knighted, has a license to practice accounting and was part of the only known Perfect Family Harmony. He's apparently a hot commodity now.

John Dory - takes night classes to finally get his highschool diploma. Is too embarrassed to tell anyone until he graduates.

John Dory - doesn't get sick often. But when he does, he keeps going to the point of exhaustion.

John Dory - has indeed crossed paths with Delta Dawn before. Both of them have very different versions of the story. "I serenaded her." "The fool was whining something from the inside of a jail cell."

John Dory - has been known to sleep with his eyes open. Freaks people out.

John Dory - will drink milk straight from the carton and put it back in the fridge.

John Dory - teaches Bruce's kids all the swear words and does in fact tell them his rendition of where eggs come from.

Viva - tries to hide sadder feelings from Poppy. Worried that Poppy won't want to hang out with her if she isn't fun.

Poppy - sometimes feels guilty, if things had been different, Viva would have been Queen. Viva tries to reassure Poppy that she is "The right Troll for the role." 👍🏻 Also Viva tries to argue that they both technically get be Queens now anyway.

Guy Diamond - Trolls have eggs when they have powerful feelings of love. Guy Diamond was able to have Tiny because he loves himself so much.

My brother Adrian just told me that after 15 YEARS finally Yubel from Yugioh GX will get more cards!! And I absolutely ADORE that the new cards tell that Judai's and Yubel's romantic relationship has matured!!

Yubel, having three previous forms that are kind of sad (I mean, they were named "the abominable Knight" and "Ultimate Nightmare" after all) now gains a final fourth form titled "the eternally loving Protector", thus concluding the love story between Judai and Yubel 🥹😭🥰 I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM!

And then there are the iconic cards that are being released that kind of celebrate the two. And the most ICONIC SCENE that used to make me and my brother SWOON back in the year of the Lord 2008. (Back then we only had dial-up internet and needed HOURS to load the episode, only to he rewarded with their tearful reunion)

THE LOVING HUG AFTER THEY FUSED THEIR SOULS 😭😭😭

I remember my hyperfixation on the two, two days before my Abitur (high school diploma exam in the German school system). They were my OTP back in the day, so this new set is PURE NOSTALGIA.

I need ALL of these new cards, just to complete my old Yubel deck!! I never played much Yugioh, and will never be good in competitive tournaments like my brother is, but I still have my deck from back then. One of the few possessions of mine that survived the house fire. And all three Yubel forms were a precious birthday gift from my brother.

I might be trying to draw my old OTP again soon!

Not that Dave Filoni or Jon Favreau haven't said some weird shit related to Star Wars lore /The Mandalorian before, but I'm kind of starting to question whether a lot of the reactions people have had towards the things they've been saying in interviews lately are maybe just a tad bit off?

Not really in regards to them saying they have no ending in mind for The Mandalorian (which, yeah, I'm dealing with that little factoid in my own way), but more so the reactions people have been having to them talking about Ahsoka and Luke.

Because as wild as saying something like "Ahsoka and Luke technically aren't Jedi" is .... from what I've gathered it was just them having a nerdy discussion about SW lore, not too disimilar from the conversations I see play out here on Tumblr and like those nerdy talks that I have with my own friends. You know, something not to actually to be taken completely at face value or some new law of canon. But more so just a casual nerdy discussion of a particular piece of fandom lore.

Like, no shit, everyone agrees that Ahsoka and Luke are Jedi. And I genuinely don't think Favroni were trying to imply that they weren't. But maybe more so that they were making jokes or humoring the idea that in the most "traditional Jedi sense" neither of them were ever formally Knighted, you could make a joke about them "not being Jedi."

Which, yeah. I find it kinda funny that there's this possible arbitrary as fuck technicality like a fucking graduation ceremony of all things that could prevent them from being formally recognized as Jedi. But I think in context of the conversation Favroni were having, their nerdy discussion makes some sense. Because, yeah, the Jedi Order is sort of absolutely in shambles/non-existent. And there isn't really anyone around to formally Knight Ahsoka or Luke as Jedi Knights, let alone recognize them as Masters.

(If you take this silly idea at face value, though, that does mean that technically Cal Kestis and Ezra Bridger are among the only Jedi Knights actually still out in galaxy which I think is just fucking amazing and hilarious as fuck).

And, yes, it is silly to think that Ahsoka and Luke (who absolutely qualify as Jedi Masters in their own right) don't have a Jedi diploma so they can't be "considered" Jedi, I do think that it is kinda sad.

Because the transition from Padawan to Jedi Knight was an extremely important and sacred rite of passage for any Jedi. It was meant be an intimate event in a young Jedi's life, standing next to their Master and being recognized officially by other Masters as well as their peers for their personal growth with the Force. Yes, we could joke about it being a "graduation ceremony," but it was a sacred one.

And it is really fucking sad that Ahsoka and Luke never really got to experience that. Like so many other things, this extremely important Jedi custom was nearly lost. While the tradition did survive and continues on, the truth is that it could have been entirely lost altogether.

But as sad as Ahsoka and Luke not having a formal Knighting ceremony is, I don't think them not having one means that they're lesser Jedi for it. I'd argue that absolutely no one thinks that way, actually. Not even Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau. Personally, I think the fact they were never formally Knighted just goes to show that while most Jedi traditions have been lost or hidden away, it doesn't mean that the Jedi have. The Jedi Order still continues to exist through the survivors and the students they take under their wing. For all the Empire's efforts to completely wipe away the Jedi from existence, they ultimately failed.

And I can't help but find that kind of beautiful.

Tldr; hahaha Jedi need a fucking diploma, but also I'm gonna go fucking cry in the corner now.

Like a Rainbow in the Dark - Chapter 1 Leaving the life you led before we met

Summary:

You are a new student at Hawkins High, trying to run from your past. You thought you wouldn't find people who would truly get you in this small town, but maybe you were wrong ...

TW// 18+, none for chapter 1, smut in future chapters.

Author's notes :

This is my first fic that isn't a one-shot. I hope you'll like it. I'm very nervous about it. English is NOT my first language so I apologize for any mistakes.

You quickly got out of the car, ignoring the cheerful encouragements of your grandmother. You walked fast toward the front door, making your way through the other students who were pressed together in the hallway. It was your first day in this school that would only be another prison until freedom in two years. If you were able to convince your grandmother to be homeschooled you would have been free for a while already and you’d be far away, in California. But according to her, you needed more routine and discipline. You were living with your grandparents for less than a week now, and they tried to give you some time to adapt to your new life. It was the week before spring break, you tried to convince them to let you start after the break but they were afraid you’d fall behind. You were only in need of a few classes to graduate, but because of the school system, you couldn’t do all of them in a year. You did fall behind during the previous year, otherwise, you would have gotten your diploma in time this Spring. All that situation with your mother took a turn for the worst putting your school almost last on your list of priorities. You didn’t set foot in a school in months. You were surprised somewhere even wanted you, but in a small town like Hawkins Indiana it wasn’t impossible apparently. You got to your locker and looked at your schedule one last time before you had to get to the classroom.

The students looked at you with a surprised look when you got into the class but you ignored them. You weren’t dressed like the other girls in your class, they were wearing beige dresses and white skirts, floral prints, and turtlenecks. You were wearing a Megadeath t-shirt and a black mini skirt with your doc martens. Your makeup wasn’t fitting in with the crowd either, while you were wearing dark eyeshadow and lipstick they wore blush. You were also fat and they were thin. You weren’t fitting in. The teacher introduced you quickly to the class and you tried to follow as much as you could. At the end of the class, he had a list for you of readings and homework you would need to do to be up to date with the class plan. You’d need to work on it during Spring break. Your next class was only in two hours but you didn’t know the town enough to trust yourself to explore it. You went to the cafeteria to get some time to yourself. You got to an empty table and got your big notebook out of your bag. You started writing while listening to your favorite Iron Maiden record with your headphones. A bunch of dudes, basketball players if you could judge by their uniforms, walked in front of you and laughed while looking at you. You didn’t hear what they said thanks to your headphones. You lifted your head and saw someone walking towards them looking angry. You took off your headphones to hear their conversation.

‘’ What did you just call her ?’’ The newcomer asked the basketball players.

‘’ Don’t get involved, Freak !’’

They all laughed at that.

‘’ Don’t ever say a thing about her again Carver! You can insult me all you want, but leave her alone.’’

The young blonde man who was apparently named Carver took one step closer to the tall man.

‘’ Or what ?’’

The man smiled deviously before leaning towards Carver and whispered something in his ear. Carver froze for a moment and made a motion for his friends to leave, they went to a table on the opposite side of the cafeteria. My knight in shining armor walked towards me smiling. He had long curly brown hair that brushed his shoulders. He was wearing a baseball tee black and white with Hellfire Club written on it, it had swords and a devil face on it as well, a sleeveless jean jacket was over his black leather jacket, and his black pair of jeans was ripped at his knees. Maybe I am at my place here, you said to yourself as you took a better look at the patches and pins on his jacket. All bands you loved. He sat next to you, his legs spreading wide.

‘’Are you alright ?’’ His chocolate-brown eyes were full of worry.

‘’Oh, yeah. I’m used to it.’’ You tried to laugh it out.

‘’You shouldn't.’’

You lifted your palms meaning to say it is what it is.

‘’I never saw you before, are you new? I feel like I’d notice you before today.’’ He was playing with one of his rings.

‘’First day’’

He basically jumped to his feet and screamed.

‘’Welcome to Hell !’’ While doing a curtsey

You burst into laughing while he got back to his seat, ignoring all the stares the other student were giving him. He smiled and got closer to you almost whispering in your ear.

‘’ I shouldn’t stay with you too long, it will destroy your reputation and you won’t be able to make any friends.’’

You snorted.

‘’ I don’t think I’m the perfect friend for most of these people. Anyway, I’m not here to make friends, I want my diploma and run like hell out of here.’’

His smile got bigger as you were talking.

‘’ Well, in that case, would you like to come sit with my friends and me? If you aren’t afraid of getting unsolicited insults and various names thrown at you. We are very inclusive. I’m also here to get my diploma, I was supposed to graduate last year.’’

You explained quickly your situation. He got up with a huge smile and he reached his hand towards yours.

‘’ I think we will get along. I’m Eddie.’’

You took his hand and introduced yourself. He guided you to a table with five other young men. He made a gesture to one of them so he could move to another seat, leaving you the seat next to Eddie. He introduced everyone as part of his D&D Club, Hellfire Club which explained the shirt and part of them were in his band. Of course, he was in a band. They were talking all at the same time about their current campaign that would conclude the following week. They tried to include you in their conversations but you didn’t know much about D&D. The bell rang and everyone went their way, except your knight.

‘’ You’re not going to class ?’’

‘’No, I’m done for the day.’’

‘’And you are staying here ?’’

‘’I didn’t want to leave you all alone on your first day. You have another class in an hour ?’’

You nodded. You were happy that he chose to stay with you.

‘’You’re not into D&D ?’’

You told him that you never played and didn’t know much about it. He got very passionate about it and started to talk about the game and why it was amazing. You loved to learn about people’s passions.

‘’Maybe you could come to see us play one night.’’

‘’Yeah, maybe !’’ He smiled at your answer.

The next hour was spent talking about your classes and teachers, you learned that you were in the same science class that you just got out of, you didn’t notice him since he was sitting in the back of the class. He walked you to your next class and waved at you to say goodbye. Once in the classroom, a girl took you to the side.

‘’You shouldn’t associate yourself with him, he’s not someone … good.’’

You snorted at her.

‘’You don’t know me.’’

‘’Exactly. You don’t want a bad reputation on your first day, everything is known in a small town like Hawkins.’’ You couldn’t believe the nerve of this girl.

‘’So everyone knows you are a bitch ?’’

She looked at you, mouth opened wide and she turned around quickly. You don’t think she will want to be your friend anymore. After the class, your grandmother came to pick you up and she inquired about your day. You told her you didn’t really make any friends and that your list of homework for the break was already very long. She seemed happy to notice that you were taking your schoolwork seriously. Once at their house, your house actually, you went directly into your new room and you put your headphones on to listen to your music as loud as you could. You didn’t work on schoolwork that night. You did write a lot. Writing was the only thing that was working to get your feelings out of your head. You fell asleep before dinner.

In MEMORY of RUTGER HAUER on his BIRTHDAY - (January 23, 1944 - July 19, 2019)

Career years: 1969 - his death

Born Rutger Oelsen Hauer, Dutch actor. In 1999, he was named by the Dutch public as the Best Dutch Actor of the Century.

Hauer's career began in 1969 with the title role in the Dutch television series Floris and surged with his leading role in Turkish Delight (1973), which in 1999 was named the Best Dutch Film of the Century. After gaining international recognition with Soldier of Orange (1977) and Spetters (1980), he moved into American films such as Nighthawks (1981) and Blade Runner (1982), starring in the latter as self-aware replicant Roy Batty. His performance in Blade Runner led to roles in The Osterman Weekend (1983), Ladyhawke (1985), The Hitcher (1986), The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988), and Blind Fury (1989), among other films.

From the 1990s on, Hauer moved into low-budget films, and supporting roles in major films like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), Batman Begins (2005), Sin City (2005), and The Rite (2011). Hauer also became well known for his work in commercials. Towards the end of his career, he made a return to Dutch cinema, and won the 2012 Rembrandt Award for Best Actor in recognition of his lead role in The Heineken Kidnapping (2011).

Hauer supported environmentalist causes and was a member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He also founded the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association, an AIDS awareness organization. He was made a knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 2013.

Early life -

Hauer was born in Breukelen, in the Province of Utrecht, while the Netherlands was under German occupation during World War II. He stated in a 1981 interview, "I was born in the middle of the war, and I think for that reason I have deep roots in pacifism. Violence frightens me." His parents were Teunke (née Mellema) and Arend Hauer, both actors who operated an acting school in nearby Amsterdam. He had three sisters. According to Hauer, his parents were more interested in their art than their children. He did not have a close relationship with his father, and writer Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema later became a father figure to Hauer after they met during the filming of Soldier of Orange.

Hauer attended a Rudolf Steiner school, as his parents wanted him to develop his creativity. At the age of 15, he left school to join the Dutch merchant navy. He spent a year travelling the world aboard a freighter, but was unable to become a captain due to his colourblindness. Returning home, he worked odd jobs while finishing his high school diploma at night. He then entered the Academy for Theater and Dance in Amsterdam for acting classes, but soon dropped out to join the Royal Netherlands Army. He received training as a combat medic, but left the service after a few months as he opposed the use of deadly weapons. He subsequently returned to acting school and graduated in 1967.

Career:

Early works -

Hauer had his first acting role at the age of 11, as Eurysakes in the play Ajax. After graduating from the Academy for Theater and Dance, he became a stage actor with the Toneelgroep Noorder Compagnie. Hauer made his screen debut in 1969 when Paul Verhoeven cast him in the lead role of the television series Floris, a Dutch medieval action drama. The role made him famous in his native country, and Hauer reprised his role for the 1975 German remake Floris von Rosemund.

Hauer's career changed course when Verhoeven cast him in Turkish Delight (1973), which received an Oscar nomination for best foreign-language film. The film found box office favour abroad and at home, and Hauer looked to appear in more international films. Within two years, Hauer made his English-language debut in the British film The Wilby Conspiracy (1975). Set in South Africa, the film was an action-drama with a focus on apartheid. Hauer's supporting role, however, was barely noticed in Hollywood, and he returned to Dutch films for several years. During this period, he made Katie Tippel (1975) and worked again with Verhoeven on Soldier of Orange (1977), and Spetters (1980). These two films paired Hauer with fellow Dutch actor Jeroen Krabbé. At the 1981 Netherlands Film Festival, Hauer received the Golden Calf for Best Actor for his overall body of work.

American breakthrough -

Hauer made his American debut in the Sylvester Stallone film Nighthawks (1981) as a psychopathic and cold-blooded terrorist named Wulfgar. With his sights set on a long-term career in Hollywood, Hauer worked with an accent coach in the early 1980s to develop a convincing American accent. Unafraid of controversial roles, he portrayed Albert Speer in the 1982 American Broadcasting Company production Inside the Third Reich. The same year, Hauer appeared in arguably his most famous and acclaimed role as the eccentric and violent but sympathetic antihero Roy Batty in Ridley Scott's 1982 science fiction thriller Blade Runner, in which he delivered the famous tears in rain monologue. Hauer composed parts of the monologue the evening prior to filming, "cutting away swathes of the original script before adding the speech’s poignant final line". He went on to play the adventurer courting Theresa Russell in Eureka (1983), investigative reporter opposite John Hurt in The Osterman Weekend (1983), hardened mercenary Martin in Flesh & Blood (1985), and knight paired with Michelle Pfeiffer in Ladyhawke (1985).

He appeared in The Hitcher (1986), in which he played a mysterious hitchhiker tormenting a lone motorist and murdering anyone in his way. He received the 1987 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the television film Escape from Sobibor. At the height of Hauer's fame, he was set to be cast as RoboCop (1987), but Verhoeven, the film's director, considered his frame as too large to move comfortably in the character's suit. Also in 1987, Hauer starred as Nick Randall in Wanted: Dead or Alive as the descendant of the character played by Steve McQueen in the television series of the same name.

In 1988, he played a homeless man in Ermanno Olmi's The Legend of the Holy Drinker. This performance won Hauer the Best Actor award at the 1989 Seattle International Film Festival. Hauer was chosen to portray a blind martial artist superhero in Phillip Noyce's action film Blind Fury (1989). He initially struggled with the implausibility of the character, but learned to "unfocus my eyes, to react to smells and sounds" after meeting with blind judo practitioner Lynn Manning during his research for the role. Hauer returned to science fiction in 1989 with The Blood of Heroes, in which he played a gladiator in a post-apocalyptic world.

Commercials and later roles -

By the 1990s, Hauer was well known for his humorous Guinness commercials as well as his screen roles, which had increasingly involved low-budget films, such as Split Second (1992); The Beans of Egypt, Maine (1994); Omega Doom (1996) and New World Disorder (1999). In 1992, he appeared in the horror-comedy film Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the main antagonist vampire Lothos. He also appeared in the Kylie Minogue music video "On a Night Like This" (2000). During this time, Hauer acted in several British, Canadian and American television productions, including Amelia Earhart: The Final Flight (1994) as Earhart's navigator Fred Noonan, Fatherland (1994), Hostile Waters (1997), The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon (1997), Merlin (1998), The 10th Kingdom (2000), Smallville (2003), Alias (2003), and Salem's Lot (2004).

Hauer played an assassin in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2003), a villainous cardinal with influential power in Sin City (2005) and a devious corporate executive running Wayne Enterprises in Batman Begins (2005). Also in 2005, he played the title role in Patrick Lussier's film Dracula III: Legacy. Seven years later, he portrayed the vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing in Dario Argento's Dracula 3D. Hauer hosted the British reality television documentary Shock Treatment in 2005, and featured in Goal II: Living the Dream (2007) as Real Madrid coach Rudi Van der Merwe. He also recorded voice-overs for the British advertising campaign for the Danish butter brand Lurpak.

In 2008, Hauer received the Golden Calf Culture Prize for his contributions to Dutch cinema. The award recognised his work as an actor as well as his efforts to aid the development of young filmmakers and actors, through initiatives such as the Rutger Hauer Film Factory. In 2009, his role in avant-garde filmmaker Cyrus Frisch's Dazzle received positive reviews; it was described in Dutch press as "the most relevant Dutch film of the year". The same year, Hauer starred in the title role of Barbarossa, an Italian film directed by Renzo Martinelli. In April 2010, he was cast in the live action adaptation of the short and fictitious Grindhouse trailer Hobo with a Shotgun (2011). Hauer played Freddie Heineken in The Heineken Kidnapping (2011), for which he received the 2012 Rembrandt Award for Best Actor. Also in 2011, Hauer appeared in the supernatural horror film The Rite as an undertaker named Istvan, the protagonist's father.

From 2013 to 2014, Hauer featured as Niall Brigant in HBO's True Blood. In 2015, he starred as Ravn in The Last Kingdom and as Kingsley in Galavant. In 2016, he joined the film jury for ShortCutz Amsterdam, an annual film festival promoting short films in Amsterdam. Hauer voiced the role of Daniel Lazarski in the 2017 video game Observer, set in post-apocalyptic Poland. Lazarski is a member of a special elite police unit that can hack into minds and interact with memories within. Hauer also provided the voice of Xehanort in the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III, replacing the late Leonard Nimoy and was himself replaced by Christopher Lloyd following his death.

Personal life -

Hauer was married twice:

Hauer and his first wife, Heidi Merz, produced Hauer’s only child, Aysha Hauer (born 1966). An actress, she gave birth to Hauer's grandson in 1987.

Hauer was with his second wife, Ineke ten Cate, from 1968, and they married in a private ceremony on 22 November 1985. Cate was the daughter of Laurens ten Cate, the editor-in-chief of the Friesland-based newspaper Leeuwarder Courant.

Although born in Utrecht, Hauer had strong links to Friesland. He once stated in an interview with the Algemeen Dagblad that he "needed to feel the Frisian clay under his feet".

Hauer was an environmentalist. He supported the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and was a member of its board of advisors. He also established an AIDS awareness organization called the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

In April 2007, he published his autobiography, All Those Moments: Stories of Heroes, Villains, Replicants, and Blade Runners (co-written with Patrick Quinlan), in which he discussed many of his acting roles. Proceeds from the book go to the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

Death -

Hauer died at his home in Beetsterzwaag, following a short illness. He was 75 years old. A private funeral service was held on 24 July. On 23 January 2020, which would have been Hauer's 76th birthday, a ceremony was held in Beetsterzwaag in his honour. Attendees included Sharon Stone, Miranda Richardson, Diederik van Rooijen, and Prince Pieter-Christiaan of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven.

Inspiration

Plot: Clavis feels like he hasn't made any progress. To create something inspiring, one must first be inspired, so he and Cyran venture into the unknown to find it.

Word count: 740

Featured characters: Clavis, Cyran

A/N: here's a short self-indulgent story for a friend, and part of my 100 Follower celebration why not

"Admit it we've been going in circles for hours ¨ Cyran who had been following quietly up until now sighed in defeat. "That's the second time I've seen that weirdly shaped branch"

"You're imagining things." Clavis was some distance ahead, bringing a hand to his face in a shielding manner, his eyes crinkling either from the afternoon sun or in an attempt to see something far away only he could see. "And what if you did? Just means we were on the right way twice. Definitely not lost. No way."

"Will you at least tell me what we're looking for? You know, for reference..."

Clavis laughed. "Even if I tell you, it's up to me to find it. No one else can"

"Which is..." The red head knight pressed on, all too familiar with Clavis' antics.

"Inspiration!" There was eagerness in his voice mixed with the tiredness of going uphill. The further they advanced, the steeper the path became until it disappeared completely, swallowed by the sun-burnt scrubs and high yellow grass that tangled at their feet, slowing down their journey into the unknown.

"You've got to be kidding me..." Cyran frowned. Unbelievable. Under the sweltering heat of a summer's day, when the sun was at its highest and shined the strongest, they were traveling through the highland looking for some intangible tangent. Knowing Clavis was to never take his word at face value, perhaps there was some other variable he wasn't letting on. Or maybe that was just wishful thinking. "Anything else?" Cyran added cautiously.

"Naturally, some perspective would also come in handy"

The prince slumped on a rock, winded. "Think of it as a paid vacation"

Setting aside the massive backpack with travelling equipment, Cyran sat by his side.

"I rather not." He fished a flask of water from a compartment and offered it to Clavis. "Why not just give up? You've been going at it for days now. It's pointless without results."

"Goodness, you sound just like him," Clavis eyed the ripples in the water with distaste. "Maybe I have been going in circles..." That last part was hushed, almost a whisper, washed away by the water as he took another swig.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Up and let's get going. Success doesn't wait!" Almost as if nothing happened, Clavis sprang up and continued on his merry way, Cyran following suit reluctantly.

Clavis observed the dry landscape absentmindedly; the incessant song of crickets made it hard to concentrate. In truth, it felt so long since he made any real progress.

Everything he did, anything he tried... nothing would even come close to Chevalier. And he's been doing what he did for a long time now, but somehow, he felt stuck in one place. No matter how hard he tried to catch up to his brother, he always stayed ahead, out of reach. That bastard. Sometimes he even doubted if he did it for himself or because of his stupid brother. Of course, those days he reminded himself that he, Clavis Lelouch, was an artist at heart and the path of an artist was never an easy one. You didn't receive a diploma for becoming creative, and at most one could only be creative for their own pleasure.

In Clavis' mind, the road to artistic prowess was different to each individual. That's why it's an untold, unbeaten path. Something unique to oneself. Many gave up along the way, discouraged by the seemingly effortless mastery of others and dismayed by their own imaginary stagnation because there is no definite destination, the end never clear nor seen.

Maybe it wasn't the right time, the people were yet to understand the subtle nuance of his creations, but Clavis would never forfeit his craft. That's perhaps the one thing his brother could never take from him.

A soft breeze caressed his face, playing with the loose sleeves of his coat, tugging him out of the depth of his mind to the realization that they've reached the rocky top.

He contemplated the rolling plains in wonder. The sea of grass under the cloudless sky, the gentle play of small birds, soaring high above. After all, what other option was there. Give up? Clavis closed his eyes.

He'd never really learned the meaning of that word.

Apologies if you already got the first iteration of this ask, it turns out anons cannot insert links into asks.

Anyways, an AU of the Bodyswap au for funsies. Caps TW and this ask also assumed the Reader & Kaeya live in America since I myself am American sorry about that.

-----------------------

High schooler!Reader or even worse, a middle schooler.

Kaeya not only has to adjust to the learning curve of pretending to be someone else and new technology, but to the SCHOOL SYSTEM AS WELL.

If he wants to get a diploma that would really help him get some jobs or a quality college that graduating from could grant him more job opportunities, he has to swiftly learn subjects school teaches. Subjects Teyvat—and thus he—likely has a more archaic understanding of. Like: Science, math, computers which Teyvat didn't even have.

Also he's no longer an adult anymore so rip, he's a teenager who has to listen to his new parents lmao

I mean we can just make Reader an orphan instead to dodge that—

Reader meanwhile (who as a teen was possibly even MORE impulsive in choosing to fake Kaeya's death and return via the Abyss) is now an adult who cannot adult.

Thus begins the disaster of Reader teaching Kaeya how to Student and in turn being taught how to Adult by Kaeya, but also learning via the internet and by themselves because Kaeya doesn't know how to Earth!Adult, just Teyvat!Adult so rip.

Kaeya and Reader can bond while doing schoolwork

("You don't know the answer?!?!?!" "I'm ass at science as well! Since we're in this together, let me teach you how to use Google real quick.")

and maybe it ends up like that scene from Incredibles 2 with Reader as Dash and Kaeya as Bob.

("MATH IS MATH!" "Which means it's STUPID, here's how your supposed to solve this equation.")

Wait, if Reader has parents which are now Kaeya's, does this mean Reader has to rent out/buy a place to stay then? I can't imagine two parents allowing who they think is an incompetent stranger into their life, oof. Unless we make Reader an orphan thus making adopting Kaeya an option. . .

That could be a light novel title:

I Got Adopted By The Orphan Whose Life I Stole!

Akchuiebsiqgsushwj, Reader is Kaeya's legal guardian, he tried to start shit, but then Reader brings out the whole deck of cards:

("I'm the adult here!" "We swapped ages, I'm your legal guardian, I grew up here. Argument over.")

Anyways what would Kaeya enjoy about being a teenager? What would he hate about it? What would he like and dislike about being a school student? What subjects would he like or dislike, be good or bad at? Methinks he could excel in PE quickly or eventually given that he was a Knight once upon a time. How does Kaeya do in school in general?

Would he aquire a friend or two, or a whole friend group he'd hang out with? What would he do with them? Would he be a loner instead? What would he do if Reader had friends or had none prior to the bodyswap? What does Kaeya do in his free time? What is it like having a childhood again for him?

On the Reader's side, with Kaeya's muscle memory and body, but no papers to prove their legal existence, nor diploma from high school, or a full education, what jobs could they be hired at to get back on their feet?

What else would there be to this scenario?

Oh my gosh

It's pure chaos-

Kay,

- Kaeya cries bc the science here is technically more complex than the science in tevyat-

-Reader absolutely completely fumbles on faking Kaeyas death

-Lets pretend reader has parents for a moment-

-Thier parents do not let Reader live in thier house,so now thier kinda homeless while they look for a job-

-with orphan reader,its kinda like:

Reader just drops by the orphanage and somehow manages to adopt Kaeya

-this au is so chaotic,bc the living situation would be a LOT on top of all the other shit

-Kaeya HATES being a teenager,as he's someone who enjoys his freedom

-he can't drink,he has to have permission to go places,so he feels really trapped

-he does,however,enjoy the less responsibilities

-His favorite subjects are:

Math

-Kaeya does pretty good overall!

-however,he kinda bombs the freind group

-mostly bc he doesn't get all the jokes and drama

-so he's mostly a loner

-on the subject of freetime,depending on how old readers body is,he probably gets a job,just to be busy again.

-That or he'd read

-Just like in the regular au,reader has to come up with an excuse to get some papers!

-except this time,their on their own.

-They'd probably get a minimum wage job while they try to get back on their feet

-Theres so much more,but it's in general chaos

-like all of the shit the duo had to go through before,they have to go through twice as bad

-plus,it actually takes a LOT longer to get to the point where they form a bond,as kaeyas new parents aren't fond of the idea of letting him hang out with a "crazy person"

-so yeah,it's chaos 😭

-honestly if the regular au is Angst and drama,this Au is comedy

-mostly bc of all the shenanigans that go on due to the age swap-

#sagau #♡mist answer's<3♡#genshin impact sagau #genshin sagau #sagau genshin #kaeya reader body swap au

I agree with the last anon.

Hee hoo arsonist wild is quite funny and I have in fact accidentally set a prairie on fire more than once in botw it does really reduce the rest of the links's batshit insanity.

I think we as a community forget that Twilight canonically eats bugs, and raw chuchu jelly. And also kills things with his teeth.

Time eats poe souls too right?

Also there's not enough making fun of Sky for being a cop. What are the knights in skyloft if not cops. Make fun of them damnit.

Hell even in peacetime the knights are cops in HW, make fun of the two feds in the group. Wind is a pirate for God's sake, Twilight was chased out of Castle Town like three times for being a large dog, you're going to look me in the eyes and tell me that they wouldn't give Sky and Warriors the side eye every once in a while?

Wild was a knight. Not in this life though, so he's clean. He's atoned for being a cop. Twilight and Wind don't make fun of him for that.

I also like the idea that Wind curses all the time. Like he stubs his toe and the devil blushes.

I think we all forget that literally all the Links are absolute fucking weirdos. So when they're all put together the standard of normal is lowered considerably. I personally am guilty of setting the grass on fire so I can shoot at lynels and guardians, it's just a battle strategy.

I personally think that the knights of Skyloft (at least at night), are more like lifeguards or pest control, because Skyloft is pretty safe. Why do they need that many knights when there are like twenty people that live there. I just think knight academy is boarding school but with swords. Becoming a knight is just like getting your high school diploma.

the knights are definitely cops in every other game though. Except I think knights are just better at their jobs, even if their job is scaring away a spooky puppy. I think the way the Link's view knights is very funny, bc some of them have been hunted down by knights for crimes they did not commit and have to sneak around them to meet the princess and some were more indoctrinated or even (possibly) drafted to become one. So like, it's a pretty mixed bag in there lmao.

I too believe that Wind curses, I don't get why some people think it's scandalous for him to do so, they're just words and he's literally a pirate. He was probably not allowed to curse around his grandma and Aryll so he was really repressed about it so he just curses a lot now.

#Wild gets the knight pass #he's committed enough crimes against god #linked universe #ask andromeda #lu trope talk

it’s over he did it

After months of work and stress and studying. God. The studying.

Chris Knight finally gets to walk at graduation.

He gets to walk away from the soon to be convict Jerry Hathaway. Walk right off the stage and into the hard earned and long overdue Darlington job.

Finally. Finally. Finally.

That stupid laser has all but destroyed itself.

Kent took that stick out of his ass.

And finally, Chris Knight is Out. He’s gone. Graduated. Free.

Part of his brain is relieved, giddy even. Gone are the days of overworking and overachieving in some desperate attempt to land “one of the big gigs”.

Now he can simply Be.

Simply exist as one of the top ten greatest minds on the planet (soon to be top 2).

But the other part of his brain, the part he unfortunately lives in, is mourning in a way. Chris, drowning in his graduation gown, finally lets it hit him that he really is leaving. For good.

And no one is coming with him.

Ick, Jordon, Kent

Mitch

Poor Mitch. God, shit, Chris is leaving Mitch. He knows that Mitch can handle himself. The kid is smarter then he is by nearly 20 points. Mitch will be fine. Wont he?

He won’t overwork himself won’t he? Won’t let himself get to the point where he’ll crack and end up in the steam tunnels right?

And as Chris grips his diploma, he turns to look out on the sea of faceless faces all staring back.

And In that crowd he sees Mitch, slung over Jordan’s shoulders laughing about something he couldn’t possibly understand.

Yeah. Mitch’ll be fine

#this is the first time I’ve written fanfic literally since the 4th grade #I’m 17 #the real genius #the real genius 1985 #val kilmer #chris knight #Mitch Taylor #my friend is stalking my blog and I need them to kindly fuck off and forget they ever saw this #Chris knight angst #real genius headcanons #val kilmer’s character

did I see correctly that you listed at least one Star Wars wip in your post?? say more 👀👀

Your eyes do not deceive you.

You may or may not have seen a work by me named "Lonely Padawan" (which is also listed here).

"Lonely Padawan" is the core work of this AU, and all the world-building aspects of this AU were actually written out for the first time for this work.

The celebration of ‘peace and prosperity’ — that is what the public relations council said the Parade of Community was about. A day when the new King was elected on the throne of the Palace, when the High Queen blessed the planet with her visit, and when all disputes and debates were set aside in favour of the commonwealth. Fancy words to cover the events, Chilled always thought of it, recalling his own misadventures on that terrifying day. And Chilled understood, really: people of Siko needed that kind of reassurance after decades of conflicts.

“—And now the dark age of our war-tired planet is over!” The crowd was cheering and waving the bright colourful flags. “The time has come for the discords of the past to be forgotten and the new life of kindness and freedom to begin!”

After all, Jeremy was himself bitter when people elected him to lead the planet. “This all feels so kriffing wrong,” were the first words Chilled received from him after Jeremy’s speech on the coronation. In their rare holocalls the young king seemed exhausted more often than not, praising his wife for her being awesome or letting out all the frustration and stress.

Chilled didn’t really acknowledge the moment they became friends; maybe it was their close age, maybe the shared near death experience kicked in and bonded them. Or maybe it was their personalities being compatible with one another.

To the same AU belong these files:

SW!AU Cheesy, Chilled, Order 66

“Where are we going?” Cheesy’s voice was quieter than a whisper.

“You’ll see in a minute, my young padawan,”

“Ah, Chilled, what a pleasure,” “We thought your duties completely tore you apart from our little meetings.”

“Senator.” “Let me introduce to you my companion,” “this young man is my padawan, Cheesy.”

“Tay?..” “Who’s that?”

“It’s Chilled!” “Come on in,” “there’s everybody besides you and Apollo.”

“He was still at crèche when we were leaving,”

“How’s it going?” “How’s the green frog?”

“Still talks backwards.”

This is some sort of flashback

SW!AU Ep-1 (SupDog)

Two figures were present in the cell.

One was standing still, blocking the light coming from the exit. Its arm was raised and the fingers were pointing in the other figure direction.

The second figure was floating in the air with its hands on its neck.

“I may not be useful this much, Count,” Steve managed to say through the Force grab, “I’m a disappointment to my planet, I’m afraid.” He tried to reach the floor with his leg but miserably failed. “I can only offer some therapy, I got the diploma… If you need it of course…”

“I like your sense of humor, Senator,” Dooku grinned at him, loosening the grip, “But my interest is not focused on your planet in the first place right now.”

Steve smiled weakly, “Oh Count, I’m blushing. You could’ve just asked me out if you wante…” He felt the air tightening around his neck again.

“Oh… I s-see… You like p-power play…” Something said inside his head that it was a bad idea.

“Enough,” Dooku thundered and the second after that Steve felt himself lose consciousness.

A fun little scene about Senator Suptic being captured by Separatists. Guess who's the valiant knight that will save him?

Lost Papers (side-fic/sequel idea)

This one is actually more of an idea than a draft. Its main idea is to help Knight Chaos and Padawan BlueNips with bonding experience.

i think i hate cliches so much because of how much id love them yk? i mean, i was a little girl who dreamed that she'd be head cheerleader, and the star football player would ask her to prom only to surprise her with crowning her queen.

i remember idolizing the girls that everything went right for, who celebrated their sweet sixteen like it was a wedding and who never had to worry about anything past her lashes and her shoes. maybe she'd run off to college, marry the love of her life and land a happy life with a picket fence with two beautiful kids and a job that paid well. she'd participate in bake sales and volunteer for her neighborhood.

but that's when everything went wrong. when i realized the world wasn't set on stage and the girl i became? she's so much worse.

she knows her love story won't come true, and her bitterness only clings to her bones because every i love you she hears is masked like medicine in peanut butter. she spends her birthdays alone, usually hopped up on something to make sure there's no chance she'll have time to think about all the things she could've said. she'll never have friends, or kids, or even a high school diploma with the way she takes care of herself but it's like there's nothing that can help. that's because she knows knights in shining armor are lies and happy was for children or the deceased.

Task Eleven → Intro & Connections

CHARACTER INFORMATION

FULL NAME: Basil Augustus Sherringford Baker GENDER: cis male PRONOUNS: he/him AGE: 39 OCCUPATION: Private consulting detective ORIENTATION: Asexual RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single

+ Dauntless, Determined, Tenacious - Prickly, Self-centred, Operatic

Basil comes from a family lineage in England stretching back centuries. His ancestors had been knighted, served as MPs in Parliament and had the favor of several monarchs. His own father is the head of a multi-billion dollar corporation with connections around the world. His older brother is a highly-respected figure who has the ear of many government officials. With such a pedigree, it seemed natural that Basil too would aspire to a lofty position. Yet that was not and indeed had never been what he wanted.

Ever since he was young, Basil has admired the skills and exploits of Sherlock Holmes. He voraciously read his grandmother’s collection of Conan-Doyle paperbacks as well as watching TV and movie adaptations of the great detective. All of this made him determined to go on to a career in law enforcement, for which the most logical path seemed to be becoming a police officer. Yet, after starting training, it soon became apparent that particular route was not for him. Holmes had not been a police officer himself, after all, but he was an expert in a great many fields. So Basil went on to university, broadening his horizons in a number of subjects and collecting diplomas and degrees in nearly every field he studied.

Armed with such a vast collection of knowledge, he became a private investigator, and an exceedingly good one at that. His skills were tested early on when he went up against the notorious criminal Ratigan. While he may have still been relatively green as an investigator, his knowledge and intellect proved invaluable, and helped him make a name for himself. This event not only proved that Basil had finally found his calling as a top-notch detective, but also showed criminals that he was not to be underestimated.

These days, his reputation as one of the finest private detectives in the world precedes him, and has led him to Redwood Hollow. Knowing his talent for getting to the bottom of strange cases, an acquaintance tipped him off about the recent happenings in the town. Missing persons and strange illnesses are not exactly everyday happenings in a small town, so Basil has agreed to have a look into things. Not as an official case as yet, but being as he is rather good at spotting things which others might overlook, he is willing to see if there is something to indicate his particular skills are needed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

While his family name is an influential one, he does not like to fall back on it or on his father’s money and connections, preferring to earn his own way in the world.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

Friends -- Because he really doesn't have any, in town or otherwise!

Enemies / Criminals who he's helped to convict -- There are A LOT of these!

People who know his family -- There are also a lot of these!

WANTED PLOTS / PLOT IDEAS

Basil is very much out of his element being in a small town like this. He's good at not sticking out like a sore thumb, but he definitely does not know the real ins and outs of town. It would be fun to have someone rope him into getting involved in some of the town goings-on, and have him get to see first hand what really goes on in town.

He's focused on his plan to solve the mystery of what's going on in Redwood Hollow and does not want to get distracted. If someone interferes, either intentionally or not, Basil could get upset with them, and this could lead to a full-blown feud.

Someone knows what Basil is up to! He has not told anyone why he's really in town, but if someone either knows of him and his reputation or figures out who he is, they can conjecture as to why he is there. They can then choose to either help or hinder him.

TAKEN CONNECTIONS

None at the moment, actually! He needs to get to know more people!

OTHER

One character from the open tag you would like to see taken / added to the Most Wanted page: David Q. Dawson
