i was talking to some friends from college and we got on this subject of favorite ‘assigned reading’ books we had to read for high school and it got me thinking about the Emerson crew and their fav books. i know not everyone in the cast likes doing schoolwork and that’s so fair, but do any of them have a book that stuck with them?

Ah, I've been asked something similar and passed before because, frankly, I haven't read enough to be able to choose favorite books for my ROs 😅 Especially not from the typical assigned reading lists from high school, I honestly don't know if I've completed more than a few of those 😅😅 But I've thought about this more since then and I feel comfy saying these were impactful to the following ROs:

Gabe and Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart.

Kile and John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.

Rupan/Rohan and Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. (Lent to them by a friend, not required reading at school obvi lol)

Vivian/Vincent and Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. (A recommendation from their mom.)

Heidi and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.

Curt and Lois Lowry's The Giver. (Although I don't think it was on school reading lists in the 90s yet.)

I don't know if this is going to be a tough one, but I hope you'll try: What is the favorite book of each character (Origins, DA2, Inquisition + Advisors, Awakening if you can throw that in)????

(Sorry, this is just going to be the book titles and authors, but there are so many people to get to. Also I know that many of these are kids/young adult books, but I believe that sometimes what a book meant to you when you were younger can make it a lasting favorite.)

Origins:

Alistair: Harry Potter and the Sorcerers/Philosophers Stone by J.K. Rowling

Leliana: Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith

Morrigan: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis

Oghren: A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin

Sten: The Sword in the Stone by T. H. White

Whynne: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Zevran: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

THIS IS YOUR LIFE: WILLIAM FRAWLEY

January 8, 1961

“This Is Your Life” was a documentary series broadcast on NBC radio from 1948 to 1952, and on NBC television from 1952 to 1961. It was originally hosted by its creator and producer Ralph Edwards. In the program, the host surprised guests and then took them through a retrospective of their lives in front of an audience, including appearances by colleagues, friends, and family. Edwards revived the show in 1971 and Joseph Campanella hosted a version in 1983. Edwards returned for various specials in the late 1980s.

Ralph Edwards (Host) - played himself in the Lucille Ball film Seven Days Leave (1942). Edwards hosted 339 episodes of the original series, from April 1950 to August 1961.

William Frawley (Guest of Honor) was born in 1887 and was already a Hollywood veteran when he was hired by Desi Arnaz in 1951 to play landlord Fred Mertz on “I Love Lucy.” After the series concluded he joined the cast of “My Three Sons” (shot at Desilu) playing Bub Casey. His final screen appearance before his death in March 1966 was a cameo on “The Lucy Show”.

GUEST APPEARANCES (in alphabetical order)

Lucille Ball employed Frawley in 1951, despite his history of alcoholism. She became a friend of Frawley, employing him right up to his final days. Despite being a regular cast member of “I Love Lucy” for 9 years, Frawley and Lucille Ball rarely shared more than a few moments of screen time without Ricky or Fred present. The one exception is “Staten Island Ferry” (above).

Tim Considine played Mike Douglas on “My Three Sons” between 1960 and 1965, appearing in every one of Frawley’s 165 episodes of the series. He was 20 years old when they first met.

Don Fedderson was the Executive Producer of “My Three Sons.”

Edna Frawley was the ex-wife of William Frawley and his former vaudeville partner (as Edna Louise Mueller). They divorced in 1927.

Don Grady played Robbie Douglas on “My Three Sons” between 1960 and 1972, appearing in every one of Frawley’s 165 episodes of the series. He was 16 years old when they first met.

Fred Haney was the General Manager of the Los Angeles Angels. Frawley was an inveterate baseball fan. For years, Haney was one of the most popular baseball figures in Los Angeles. During the show, he presented Frawley with a lifetime baseball pass.

Erskine Johnson was a Hollywood gossip columnist who also appeared on the radio and in motion pictures.

Eugenie Leontovich was a Russian-born actress and writer who starred on Broadway with Frawley in “Twentieth Century” in 1932. In 1958 she won a Tony Award.

Stanley Livingston played Chip Douglas on “My Three Sons” between 1960 and 1972, appearing in every one of Frawley’s 165 episodes of the series. He was 10 years old when they first met.

Fred MacMurray first appeared with Frawley in the films Car 99 (1935) and The Princess Comes Across (1936), before playing himself on “The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour” (above) in which the gang hunted Uranium in the desert. MacMurray was the star of “My Three Sons” and appeared in all 165 of Frawley’s episodes.

Walter Meyer was William Frawley’s agent.

TRIVIA

William Frawley was the only member of the “I Love Lucy” regular cast to be celebrated on “This Is Your Life.”

Although it is no surprise that Vivian Vance did not attend, it is rather surprising that Desi Arnaz is not on the guest list. Arnaz championed Frawley to the network and sponsor when they objected to hiring him due to his alcoholism.

William Frawley received this honor while concurrently acting on “My Three Sons”. In the episode that aired three days earlier (January 5, 1961), Bub had to go out of town and Mike is tasked to hire a temporary maid - except he hires a marriage broker (Anne Seymour) instead! In the episode that aired the following week, Bub (Frawley) thought he was being replaced by Steve’s cousin Sylvia (Mary Jackson).

The names of the honorees was not disclosed before the broadcast. In the cast of William Frawley, one newspaper hinted that the guest of honor was “a familiar face” - “a kind of next door neighbor character”.

In addition to Frawley’s appearance on “This Is Your Life” on January 8, 1961, he was also seen in the afternoon rerun of “I Love Lucy.”

In many markets, the episode was rerun on Sunday, January 15, 1961 and then again on August 16, 1961.

On May 28, 1961, radio and TV writer Bob Thomas asked Ralph Edwards for his top five episodes of “This is Your Life.” William Frawley’s tribute was NOT among them. But coincidentally, a separate article about William Frawley’s role as Bub on “My Three Sons” by Cynthia Lowry was printed alongside it.

The Chicago Tribune for October 14, 1961 printed this letter to the editor. Ball may have been referring to the “Lucy on Broadway” special that was planned, but never materialized. Frawley, Vance, and Arnaz were scripted to participate, should the project have been realized.

Hey Foxes! My schedule is back to normal for awhile, so our next acceptances will be back at their regular time of Sunday and 8PM EST.

We are desperately in need of strikers before our next game, so I encourage any interested applicants to take a look at:

Dove Lowry (Medalion Rahimi) who’s got a big heart and some big Big Sister energy—and an adopted brother also on the team;

Arlo Booth (Samuel Larsen) who has a chip on his shoulder and a burning need to be better than his former foster brother, who plays on the Trojans;

Neel Avery (Avan Jogia) a fifth year who, after being abandoned by his family, finds them back in his life as the draft draws nearer and his star rises;

Del Ramsey (Tati Gabrielle) who’s fiercely independent and yet a caretaker to their siblings, after being reunited with them after years of being split up in foster care;

Kent Cheong (Ross Butler) a surfer boy who has a half-sibling on the Vixens who he wants nothing to do with;

Indigo Hayes (Hunter Schafer) a diplomat brat and former boarding school troublemaker who’s making the switch to striker after playing last year as a goalkeeper.

And, though we technically don’t have any striker slots open for original characters, I would currently make an exception!

If none of those characters strike your fancy, we also have several other open characters I would love to see taken, particularly our Vixen Captain Vivian Brooks.

And, as always, I’m around to answer any questions you may have!

Admin X.

What other fandoms are you familiar enough with to use as an AU prompt? Pokemon Trainer AU? Homestuck AU (they'd still probably die but at least there are lots of ways to come back to life)?

I’m not that familiar with Homestuck, definitely not enough to do an AU. I read the novelizations of the Pokemon show as a kid but never saw the show or played any of the video games. I did play the super-obscure Pokemon board game, but most of my trading cards were printed in Japanese (I had a strange childhood), so my experience there is, uh, probably not quite overlapping with everyone else’s.

Anyway, if you want list of all my fandoms… Boy howdy. I don’t think I can come up with them all. However, I can list everything that comes to mind between now and ~20 minutes from now when I have to end my procrastination break and go back to dissertating. So here it is, below the cut:

Disclaimer 1: Like a lot of people who went to high school in the American South, my education in literature is pretty shamefully lacking in a lot of areas. (As in, during our African American History unit in ninth grade we read To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn… and that was it. As in, our twelfth-grade US History class, I shit you not, covered Gone With the Wind.) There were a lot of good teachers in with the *ahem* Less Woke ones (how I read Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Bluest Eye) and college definitely set me on the path to trying to find books written/published outside the WASP-ier parts of the U.S., but the overall list is still embarrassingly hegemonic.

Disclaimer 2: There are a crapton of errors — typos, misspelled names, misattributions, questionable genre classifications, etc. — in here. If you genuinely have no idea what a title is supposed to be, ask me. Otherwise, please don’t bother letting me know about my mistakes.

Disclaimer 3: I am not looking for recommendations. My Goodreads “To Read” list is already a good 700 items long, and people telling me “if you like X, then you’ll love Y!” genuinely stresses me the fuck out.

Disclaimer 4: There are no unproblematic faves on this list. I love Supernatural, and I know that Supernatural is hella misogynistic. On the flip side: I don’t love The Lord of the Rings at all, partially because LOTR is hella misogynistic, but I also don’t think that should stop anyone else from loving LOTR if they’re willing to love it and also acknowledge its flaws.

Miss May I: Season 5 Part 1

Julian: Congratulations!

Isabella: Thank you! I so wish you could have walked with us.

Julian: That boat already sailed for me, but I'm happy for you and Richie.

Vivian: Bella, congratulations.

Isabella: Thank you so much, Vivi. Guess I don't have to call you Mr. Lowry anymore.

Vivian: When did you ever? Now if you excuse me, I have a few other students to meet up with.

Vivian: Richie, congratulations. Your valedictorian speech was amazing

Richie: Thank you, Mr. Lowry. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.

Isabella: I'm telling you, this morning putting on my gown I was so nervous I thought I was gonna puke. Like, this makes us, like, bona fide adults now!

Damian: Hey girls.

Isabella: Damian!

Damian: Hey! I wasn't expecting that.

Isabella: I'm just so glad to see you. It's literally been years.

Damian: I'm glad to see you too. Never thought I'd be so happy to be back in middle of nowhere Alaska.

Damian: Julie, is that your baby? I can't believe how much he looks like Noah.

Julian: Everyone keeps saying that but I think he looks like me. His name's Jasper.

Damian: I see it now that you mention it. Guess it's just the hair and eyes he gets from Noah.

Julian: So, you're back. Does this mean you're out of military school?

Damian: Not yet. My graduation is next week but they let me home for Markus's graduation.

Julian: I'm really sorry about what happened. It's basically my fault you got sent away.

Damian: Don't sweat it. My mom had been threatening to send me to military school for years.

Julian: It's good to see you again.

Damian: Yeah, you too. I'm just glad Kirsten isn't here.

Julian: That's a long story. Vivian's husband was fucking her mom and got her pregnant, so he and Vivian got divorced then he, his baby mommy, and Kirsten moved to Storybrooke County.

Damian: Man, your family really likes to fuck up her life, huh? Maybe I did dodge a bullet by getting sent away. I'll see you again when I come back.

Julian: Bet on it.

Isabella: Oh my god, military school was good to him. Did you see those muscles?

Julian: What happened to only having eyes for Richie?

Isabella: Richie is the love of my life, but he's more of a brains guy.

Isabella: Please my wonderful and bestest best friend please tell me you changed your mind about coming to the graduation dinner?

Julian: Sorry, it just doesn't seem fair since I didn't graduate.

Isabella: But you got your GED! They don't call it an equivalent for nothing.

Julian: Besides, I have other dinner plans tonight.

Isabella: Oh, a special hot date with Noah?

Julian: No, he's at work. Actually, I'm having dinner with my dad.

Isabella: Your dad?

Julian: He's been trying to make more of an effort to be involved in my life since the custody case.

Isabella: I can't believe how good everything worked out. Or maybe I shouldn't say that 'cause of your mom.

Julian: No, you're right. Her being gone is a good thing. It was like some kind of miracle.

GALE on LUCY: REAL PRO

July 28, 1966

By GALE GORDON (For Cynthia Lowry)

EDITOR'S NOTE - Gale Gordon is a familiar television face - usually apoplectic - that goes back to the old "Our Miss Brooks" and "Dennis the Menace" days. (1) Here he writes, with vast affection, of the joys of playing straight man for Lucille Ball.

HOLLYWOOD (AP) - I am sometimes stopped on the street or in a store by television fans and the routine usually goes like this:

Fan: Haven't I seen you some place?

Me (modestly): Oh, it's possible.

Fan (thinking hard): In the movies?

Me (losing confidence): Er, not recently.

Fan (in triumph): Aha! As soon as you spoke, I knew. You're the banker in "The Beverly Hillbillies." (2)

Thoroughly crushed at this point I try to salvage my pride, pointing out the error while still maintaining a cordial rapport with the viewer. I do play a banker, but it isn't the Bev. Then I produce the magic word - a short, simple word: Lucy.

You have heard the old old question, What's in a name? Let me tell you some of the things this one does. It's effect is immediate. I am suddenly treated like an exalted human being, all because I have seen, spoken to and worked with the one and only Lucille Ball.

My own regard for her is basked on different and more personal bases. She is an attractive, vivacious and amusing woman, but she is above all a pro, a professional. I mean someone who is not afraid to work at his job. Lucy works harder than anyone I have ever met. A pro puts some kind of characterization in motion. Even during early rehearsals, Lucy gets into character just sitting around a table reading.

Real pros never stop learning. They are always alert to new ideas, and Lucy welcomes suggestions from cast and crew alike. I love to play scenes with these great artists. These are moments that make years of struggle, disappointment and frustration worthwhile.

When you share a scene with a fine performer, you don't have to act at all. You become for a moment the character you are portraying.

There are many attributes covered by the term "talent." There is charm, humor, grace, a thousand other things, but there is a simple requirement very few possess: the ability to listen.

Good actors listen to what is being said. Lucy is attentive to every syllable and inflection she hears from a fellow artist. No matter how many times a scene is rehearsed, she reacts the last time as if she was hearing it for the first time.

I am often asked why I am so mean to Lucy, The answer, of course, is that the writers create the situation to begin with. But it also gives me great satisfaction to rant and rave and see Lucy's eyes get bigger and bigger - and I get louder and louder. I know she is enjoying it as much as I am.

FOOTNOTES FROM THE FUTURE

(1) Gale Gordon played school principal Osgood Conklin on TV’s “Our Miss Brooks” from 1952 to 1956. Gordon had created the role on radio, and also played Conklin in an Our Miss Brooks film in 1957. The series ran concurrently with “I Love Lucy,” allowing Gordon time to only play one character on Ball’s hit series, Mr. Littlefield, although he played it in two early episodes. He wouldn’t be seen with Lucille Ball again until after Brooks, when he played a judge on “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” in one episode.

In 1962, series Gordon succeeded Joseph Kearns on the "Dennis the Menace" TV series following the sudden death of Kearns. Kearns had played next door neighbor George Wilson and Gordon was introduced in the role of John Wilson, George's brother. Timing again interfered with his collaborating with Ball. “The Lucy Show” started casting for its banker (who held Mrs. Carmichael’s purse-strings) just after Gordon had agreed to play John Wilson.

When “Dennis” ended in 1963, and character actor Charles Lane (playing Banker Barnsdahl for Lucy) had trouble memorizing lines, Ball snatched him up to play her new banker, Theodore J. Mooney - and the rest is TV history. Gordon’s comedy partner for the rest of his life would be Lucy.

(2) The banker on “The Beverly Hillbillies” (1962-1971) was named Milburn Drysdale and he was played by Raymond Bailey. He appeared in all 247 episodes of the CBS sitcom. Although he never acted on television with Lucille Ball or Gale Gordon, Bailey appeared on the Desilu shows “The Untouchables” (1960), “The Ann Sothern Show”, (1958 & 1960) “The Real McCoys” (1957), and “Whirlybirds” (1957). On “The Beverly Hillbillies” he acted opposite such “I Love Lucy” actors as Nancy Kulp (as his sidekick, Miss Hathaway), Bea Benaderet, Frank Wilcox, Elvia Allman, Ray Kellogg, Charles Lane, Joi Lansing, Shirley Mitchell, Doris Packer, Eleanor Audley, Maurice Marsac, Herb Vigran, Tristram Coffin, Hedda Hopper, Natalie Schaffer, Hans Conried, Ellen Corby, Lurene Tuttle, Hayden Rorke, Frank J. Scannell, Gail Bonney, Fritz Feld, Jil Jarmyn, and Desi’s stand-in, Bennet Green.

CYNTHIA LOWRY - was a TV reporter for the Associated Press. During her vacations, her column would be taken over by guest writers. Other articles about Lucille Ball include:

June 13, 1965 - “Life Without Vivian”

January 4, 1970 - “First Bird Leaves The Nest”

July 4, 1972 - “Lucille Ball Writes” (guest columnist Lucille Ball)

Note ~ The many headlines at the top of this blog is because the same article (in this case by Gale Gordon, normally by Cynthia Lowry) was given a different headline in every newspaper her column appeared in. Newspapers who printed her column were free to create their own headlines, and edit for length. Also, of all the various places this article was printed, there was not one photograph of Gordon! This may be because Lowry’s contract did not allow space for editorial photographs.
