Monday 20 June 1836

7 ¼

11 25

no kiss fine morning F56 ½° at 8 ¼ - A- with me in my study looking over Mrs. Briggs’s account - breakfast at 9 Richard Woodhead waiting for A- he waited till 10 and we then walked with him to Spa house wood, and fixed upon a large Scotch fir to be cut down for making out the new stable with at upper Holcans - from Spa house direct to Oozle hall (cottages) Henry Ingham there - A- agreed to give him 10/. a rood for taking the bit in below the garden, and throwing it to the garden - he strode it over and said there would be 4 roods - A- saw her cottage tenant and spoke about their being in arrear - her husband lived many years as farming man with Mr. Clark ‘at the hall’ (near) but when Mrs. Clarke died, he pulled him off a shilling a week, and so the man would not stay - had 8/. a week and his meat and would not stay to have only 7/. a week and his victuals - A- and I walked round by Pule neck and the old Bradford road to Northgate - there at 12 ¼ - took Mr. Husband to Hatter’s fold - then went with him to Water Lane mill - Longish while there - A- said Bairstow must be the person to prevent the mill people

SH:7/ML/E/19/0063

above from throwing more ashes into the brook - and Bairstow or Brary or the person actually in possession of the mill (whichever of their it might legally be) must get the blacksmith out of the little shop under the end of the mill next the road - the man’s father was allowed by Bray to build the shop and occupy it these 7 or 8 years without paying any rent - the Rawson-tea-drinking women declare they will pull the engine boiler down as soon as it is built up - they (Mr. Rawson at their head?) claim the bit of ground the blacksmith’s shop stand on as waste - A- and I returned up the o.b. and came in at 2 - Messrs. Haighs of Honley had been waiting for her about an hour - wrote the above of today till 2 50 - then settled George’s last weeks’ accounts - Mr. Parker called on A- at 3 10 - I gave him a check for the £35 he paid Mr. Nelson in a/c of Northgate on Saturday - and A- tore in pieces before him (Mr. P-) the note of hand I gave her for £1000 witnessed by Mr. Parker and dated 26 January 1836 - I merely said I begged him to do what might be necessary about paying the interest of Mrs. Ferguson’s trust money - and that I thought the £1000 (or ½ of the trust money) now due to the granddaughter of Mr. F- which granddaughter is underage could not be safely paid till the child is of age - this child is the issue of Mrs. F-‘s oldest daughter who married Mr. Graham and on whose death Mr. Graham married her sister his present wife - Mr. P- thought the £1000 now due to Mr. G- as administrator to his wife - I looked rather grave, but said not a word on any other subject than the bond and trust money, and civilly hoped Mr. P- had left his father recovering - ‘yes! out of danger’ - A- and I then spoke to Mr. Bottomley of Beestarley Charles Law’s brother in Law who came to ask A- to change the situation of the new barn as it would block the windows of the building new house about to be built (almost finished) by Mr. Serjeant Blackburne for ............ A- said she would speak to Mr. Washington about it - sorry the man had not spoken to her before on the subject - before the masonwork was let - ...... shewed us the plan of his new house - to be completed by his cousin Bottomley for £146. told us this - but had not told Charles L- and begged us not to mention it - nor would he tell Mr. Washington who was Mr. Blackburne’s steward but told us it was - Mr. Peace attorney of Huddersfield, a very nice man - A- very civil to the Messrs. Haigh (3 brothers) of Honley who came fearing they had offended and apologizing then begging for a new building to their mill to cost £200 then they said £150 - without paying any percentage! - they have the mill cheap and 14 years of lease unexpired - A- said she would all required by the lease but nothing more - at 4 A- on the pony and I on ft. picked up Joseph Mann at Listerwick wheel race and went to Hipperholme Lane-ends to see about the water - Joseph M- to sink a hole 4ft. diameter in Thwaite’s tanhouse field just below the top wall to see if plenty of water could not be found there and carried down to the public house cottages A- has lately bought of Parchett - A- and I returned together about 5 20 - with Robert Mann + 4 at the great main drain - had Mr. Husband - the green room finished - made very neat and tidy by Mallinson’s man and boy (vid. Friday last) - dinner at 6 ½ - on coming thro’ the hall found George had hung the 2 dinner napkins on one of the arm chairs before the fire to dry (too damp on being taken from the press) odd appearance - called George - said I was shocked - this would not do - to ask Mrs. Briggs to shew him how to lay down the napkins and not make them too damp - spoke to Mrs. Briggs and asked her to shew him - at dinner found he had taken in the bottle of marsala with the cork drawn and an empty decanter to the Messrs. Haigh - I had told him to take them in to A- and me at dinner - he misunderstood - and I thought there would be no more of it - dinner at 6 ½ - coffee - as we were sitting at coffee - George came in, and said, he was sorry he had not been so comfortable of late - ‘I am sorry, too’ said I ‘but if you are not comfortable and if you think you can be more comfortable anywhere else, you can but try’ - he ‘should wish to try this day month’ - ‘very well’, said I very calmly ‘then you shall do so’ - and here the matter ended - A- did her French - A- and I agreed nobody would be very sorry at George’s going, and John (his father) soon after came to the door with a grim on his face, and looking more cheerful than we had seen him for long - wrote the last 37 lines till 9 55 pm then A- and I went to my aunt for 20 minutes - fine day - fair but cold and dull, and highish wind towards night - cold wind on the high ground all the day - raining at 11 25

Top 10 Roddy Mcdowall bad guys

So I am doing two Roddy lists,one for good guys ,one for bad guys as he was one of those actors who could easilly play both

10.Mordred from Camelot

So I might be cheating here.....Cause I haven SEEN it , this is a stage performance ,and it was never recorded fully ......However we do have the cast recording ,where Roddy does sing one song .....And based on his performance there ,and the fact this role helped catapult him into his career as a character actor ,I want a time machine so I can see this performance.In the song he oozes gleeful evilness .BEcause only one song exists ,I cant put him higher then 10 though

9.Jeremy Evans-The Cemetery from Night Gallery

Evil heir who murders his uncle only to be tormented by a painting.Roddy is such a wonderful snoby douche here

8.Roger Stanford from Short Fuse -Columbo

A prankster and chemist who murders his double crossing uncle .As typical with Columbo the fun part is seeing Roddy interact with our unlikely hero Columbo

7.Proteus from The New Olympians in Gargoyles

A shapeshifting criminal ,Roddy makes for a fun one off villain

6.Bookworm from The Bookworm Turns/As Gotham City Burns from Batman

One of the more unique one off villain in the 60's Batman show , a failed author who can memorize books at super speed but cant write anythi9ng original ,turned supervillain who does book related crimes

5.Mephistopheles from The Devil and Mandy Breem/The Devil and Mr Rourke from Fantasy Island

Roddy delivers a rather interesting and menacing take on the devil ,and it is so entertaining to see him go head to head with Ricardo Montalbans Mr Rourke

4.Snowball from Pinky and the Brain

A super intelligent hamster and arch enemy of the Brain ,who better to play the superinteligent mouses arch enemy then Roddy

3.Tabaaqui from Mowglis Brothers

Roddy plays multiple roles in this adaptation of Rudyard Kipling classic story ,including the two villains,and while I think his Shere Khan is meh he is perfect for the slimey toady that is Tabaaqui the Jackal

2.Octavian from Cleopatra

The role that nearly got Roddy an oscar nomination if Fox didnt screw up , he steals the entire film from Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton ,despite mainly being in the second half,as the wonderfully conniving Octavian .The highlight of his performance is when he learns of Marc Antonys death

1.Jervis Tetch /Mad Hatter from Batman the Animated Series

My favorite villain in the show behind the Joker ,he breathed life into a C list rogue ,and is also the villain of my favorite episode Perchance to Dream .I think Roddy delivers a superb performance as this Wonderland obsessed rogue

@personofsinterest @amalthea9 @professorlehnsherr-almashy @princesssarisa @ariel-seagull-wings @marquisedemasque @metropolitan-mutant-of-ark @filmcityworld1 @the-blue-fairie @lord-antihero

So as you may already be aware, I'm friends with Richard K., The C. Cat, and he has told me things. Oh lord, things.

One was that it was thought by many that Hatter and Hare acted like a couple. The executive producer particularly would joke about it. AND he knew that takes had to be redone sometimes because of small things that were "too slashy" for Disney happening between them.

There was a time on youtube where diehard religious moms complained about the shippers being perverted, and it felt really good to say "well, there was some shipping going on by the cast and crew so joke's on you."

Also, LOL @ Reece for saying a few months ago "yeah, I guess I will have to agree [that Hatter was cute] since apparently he was my husband".

#Hatter x hare #Not ashamed to ship #Insider knowledge #To be clear this does not insinuate that the cast members were romantically involved

Revenant, Issue 5: Folk Horror. Edited by Ruth Heholt, guest editor: Dawn Keetley, March 2020. Info and free download: revenantjournal.com.

Revenant is a peer reviewed e-journal dedicated to the study of the supernatural, the uncanny and the weird in any form and in any period. Committed to the scholarly, academic and creative exploration of the supernatural in its multiple, variable and fantastic forms this inter-disciplinary journal encourages discussion about the supernatural or the weird in literature, history, folklore, philosophy, science, religion, sociology and all aspects of popular culture. All areas of discussion are welcome and we invite for example discussions of classic Victorian ghost stories, articles about Shakespeare’s ghosts, standing stones, architecture, film, television, games or new media. Revenant promotes new writing on the supernatural, the uncanny and the weird and we are looking to publish ghost stories, tales of the extraordinary, poems and nature writing. Encouraging a cross-theoretical approach the super-natural may also be explored in relation to gender, sexuality, spirituality, post-colonialism, Marxism or eco-criticism. Revenant emphasises that the ‘natural’ is part of the super-natural and continues a long tradition of both serious and imaginative investigation.

What are some of the most memorable characters you've read?

Oooooooooh that’s a super fun but a kind of hard question! Here is what I thought of, though I probably missed a bunch of good ones. And let me know if you want character details or explanations because I was in the process of writing paragraphs when I realized you might just want names and titles. =P

Keladry of Mindelan from the Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce

Sophie Hatter and Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

Darl, Jewel, and Vardaman Bundren from As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

Maisie Danger Brown from Dangerous by Shannon Hale

Richard and Alec from Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner

Flora Fyrdraaca from Flora Segunda: Being the Magickal Mishaps of a Girl of Spirit, Her Glass-Gazing Sidekick, Two Ominous Butlers (One Blue), a House with Eleven Thousand Rooms, and a Red Dog by Ysabeau S. Wilce

Turtle Wexler from The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

Anne Elliot from Persuasion by Jane Austen

Morwen (and her cats) and Killer from Calling on Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

Death (also Granny Weatherwax, Rincewind, & The Luggage, plus so many others) from the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett

Again, let me know if you want details because I am more than happy to oblige! =)

#ask & I shall reply #anon #writing advice #writing tip #writing help #am writing #writers on tumblr #writeblr #november 2019 #characters #books #these are all books I have read multiple times so I don't know how much that plays into them being memorable to me...#book recommendations

What Dreams May Come, Pt.10

Henry’s Dreamscape. Refugee Camp. (Henry squats beside his motorcycle and opens his Tron lunchbox, which he now uses as a toolbox.) Henry: “Okay, Zen and the art of fixing a busted motorcycle. First lesson, know thy tools. Starting with the humble torque wrench.” Ella: (Taking the wrench:) “I like this torque wrench. Thanks for letting me help. Really.” (The moment is interrupted by three smelly thugs.) Thug 1: “The magical carriage is real. Bet it's worth its weight in gold.” Henry: “And let me guess. You fine fellows are here to kill us and take it?” Thug 1: “Hey, he's smarter than he looks.” Henry: “Yeah. Good thing you’re not.” (Henry and Ella leap into action, Ella armed with the wrench, Henry with his toolbox. The pair of them make short work of the thugs, working as a team and running off the would-be robbers.) Henry: (To Ella:) “You okay?” Ella: “Yeah, I’m fine. Nothing we couldn’t handle.” Soldier: “How about us?” (Turning at the sound of the voice, Henry and Ella see that a platoon of men have surrounded the camp. Glancing at their armour, Ella can tell they’re part of King Richard’s army.)

Storybrooke. (David sits outside his house on the front steps, staring at the coin in his hand. Upon hearing his name spoken, David looks up to see no one around. After hearing it again, he gets up to investigate. Seeing nothing, he is about to blame it on the wind when he turns and comes face to face with a vision of a man who's hands are covered in blood.) David: (Shocked:) "Father?" (Overcome by the sight of his long-dead father, David collapses to the ground.) Storybrooke. The Dragon’s Lair. (Needing a pick-me-up from her disappointing adventure through the dreamscape, Zelena sits at the bar drinking while Maleficent listens with less than a sympathetic ear.) Zelena: (Downing another shot:) "I know it was only a dream, but I couldn't even make that work." Maleficent: "A blind man and his two annoying, self-righteous children? Sounds to me like you had a lucky escape. Listen Red, count yourself lucky for what you have, not what you want. Besides, men are usually far more trouble than they're worth, trust me. (Spots Robin enter to begin her shift:) Oh, thank god. Robin, customer for you." (With that, Maleficent turns and heads toward her office in the back and out of sight.)

Zelena: "Hey stranger, when did you get back?" Robin: "You're kidding, right? Haven't you heard?" Zelena: "No, I... haven't really checked in with anyone, I came straight here." Robin: "From the dream world?" Zelena: "Yes, but how did you... Oh, your aunts told you didn't they?" Robin: "Yeah and Mom, you can't mess around with that stuff anymore. Promise me." Zelena: (Scoffs:) "I don't think that'll be a problem, my experience was hardly what you'd call fulfilling. But enough about that, what's your news?" Robin: (Takes a deep breath:) "When Alice and I crossed the town line back into Storybrooke, some guy followed us." Zelena: "What?" Robin: (Nods:) "From the Land Without Magic." Zelena: "So, what happened?" Robin: "Well at first we thought we caused it, but it turns out the guy was texting and driving so that's why he... drove into a tree." Zelena: "The bloody idiot. Were you hurt?" Robin: (Shaking her head:) "No, Alice and I are fine, but the guy had some injuries." Zelena: "Serves him right, the daft twit. I'm so glad you're all right." Robin: "Yeah, me too. Jefferson said that dreamscapes are not to be messed with." Zelena: "The Mad Hatter? What's he got to do with it?" Robin: "He's the one who warned Alice and I about the dream world. He said bad things will happen if-" Zelena: "Oh, sweetie. There's a reason he's known as the Mad Hatter. The man's bonkers. Don't worry about him." Robin: "Well he sounded pretty serious about it." Zelena: "Yeah, well you've nothing to worry about. My dreamscape was one big bust." Robin: "Why, what happened?" Zelena: "It doesn't matter. I went there looking for something that just... wasn't meant to be." Robin: "I'm sorry." Zelena: "No, I'm sorry. Robin, I want you to know something. Any happiness I have, it all began with you." (Mother and Daughter stand and embrace as Zelena allows a tear to fall down her cheek.) Storybrooke General Hospital. (Greg Mendell walks back to his room attached to an IV stand. Entering, he finds two people waiting for him.) Rumplestiltskin: "Ah, Mr. Mendell. Glad to see you're up and around." Greg: "W-who are you?" Rumplestiltskin: (Gesturing toward her:) "This is Alice. She was there at the scene of your accident and wanted to see how you were." Greg: "I-I'm fine." Alice: "Are you sure? My girlfriend and I feel partly responsible for what happened." Greg: (Shaking his head and taking a seat beside her on the bed:) "No, please, it was my fault. I should've been concentrating on the road." Alice: "Well, as long as you're all right." Greg: (Smiles:) "I'll live. (Turning to look at the man beside them:) A-and you are?" Rumplestiltskin: "That's not half as important right now as finding out who you are." Greg: "I-" Rumplestiltskin: "No, no, dearie. Not here. My friend and I have many questions and I think it best if we were not disturbed while I ask them. Let's go for a drive, shall we?" (Greg glances nervously at Alice, who smiles.) On The Road. (Alice stares at Rumplestiltskin while he drives.) Alice: "I don't know about this." Rumplestiltskin: "Alice, we're just going to ask our friend a few questions." Alice: "Yeah, but-" Rumplestiltskin: "I had my suspicions about Mr. Mendell the moment he entered our lives. Now with the sudden reappearance of our mutual acquaintance, along with his warning, there's definitely more going on that meets the eye." Alice: "You think Mr. Mendell isn't who he says he is?" Rumplestiltskin: "Oh, I know he isn't. Alice, those protective spells across the town line are among the most powerful magic ever created. No mere 'ordinary' man should ever have been able to penetrate them." Alice: (Glancing back towards the trunk of the car:) "So who do you think he is?" Rumplestiltskin: "I'm not sure. But if my inkling is correct, we could all be in a lot of danger." (Alice's eyes widen at this, looking once more towards the trunk and the faint sound of pounding coming from it.)

Kingdom Of Valencia. (The Jester exits his quarters just as Madelena corners him.) Queen Madelena: “Where are you going? It's time for four o’clock fool-around.” Jester: “Is it? M-my sundial must be slow because of the... c-clouds.” Queen Madelena: “If you're worried I'm upset about you helping my husband with that ridiculous show, then don't be. Who cares? He's an idiot.” Jester: (Pulling away from her:) “Yes, well, that's the thing. I don't think I can do this anymore. I guess I just feel a little... guilty.” Queen Madelena: “Well, that's very noble of you to care about someone's feelings. Guards! If you're developing a conscience, then you're no good to me. (To the guards:) Take him to the dungeon, the really scary one. With the mice.” Jester: “Wait, no! Please! (As he’s being dragged away:) At least let me change my clothes! These are gang colors!” King Richard: (Rounding the corner:) “Oh, hello. I was just coming to see Steve.” Queen Madelena: “Who's Steve?” King Richard: “Steve McKinzie. The jester. You don't know his name? Well, no matter. (Taking her arm:) Say, what do you call a tiny mosquito in a tin suit?” Queen Madelena: (Allowing herself to be lead away:) “Oh, God.” King Richard: “Nope. A gnat in shining armor. (Chuckles:) I've got so many of these.” Queen Madelena: “Please stop talking.” King Richard: (Laughing:) “No, I love talking with you.”

Storybrooke. Swan-Mills House. Morning. (Extracting herself gently from her wife's embrace, Regina slowly sits up, fixes her hair and pads softly towards the bathroom. A short time later, at the sound of the shower running, Emma yawns then pushes herself up onto her elbows. With only the slightest hint of trepidation, Emma slides out of bed and walks over to the bathroom. Standing at the door, she smiles at the sound of singing coming from the shower.) Regina: (Upon seeing Emma enter the steam filled room:) "Hey, you." Emma: (Stretches languidly:) "Hey yourself." Regina: "Well? You coming in here or not?" (With a smirk, Regina turns her back and resumes her shower. Not needing to be asked twice, Emma quickly removes her shirt and underwear before joining her wife.) Emma: (Kissing Regina's shoulder:) "Good morning." Regina: "Mm, morning." Emma: "Well this is definitely different to last time we were in here together." Regina: "Mmhmm. A lot has changed for the better." Emma: "You're telling me. (Sliding her hands softly up and over her wife's belly:) We're getting pretty big." Regina: (Laughing:) "Yes we are." (Placing her hands over Emma's, Regina turns and faces her wife, kissing her deeply.) Emma: (As they part briefly:) "I wasn't too rough with you, was I? I mean-" Regina: "Shh. Baby and I are fine. All that remains is the memory and the glorious night's sleep that came with it." Emma: (Slightly relieved:) "That's great to hear. I know it was just a dream, that we weren't really there but-" Regina: "It was real to us. Every. (Kiss:) Magical. (Kiss:) Moment of it." Emma: "I have never felt closer to you than I do right now, and I am so excited we're on this journey together." Regina: (Smiles:) "Forever."

A Short Time Later. (Having showered and dressed, the pair are about to head down to breakfast when Regina calls Emma back.) Regina: "Emma, about yesterday... You were right. I was a little rough on Snow and she didn't deserve it." Emma: "She'll forgive you, it's what Mom does." Regina: "Yeah, I know, but... I guess old habits die hard. I shouldn't be keeping her at arms length. She's family and despite our history, I truly care for her." Emma: "She loves you too, so much." Regina: "I know. I'll make it up to her somehow. I just wanted you to know that..." Emma: "Message received." Regina: "Yeah." Emma: "Awesome. (Taking her wife's hand, she leads them toward the stairs:) And all it took was me pounding you against a tree." Regina: "Emma! (As Emma laughs:) You know our son could've heard that." Emma: “He’s not even here. And trust me, if Henry’s dreamscape is half as fun as ours, it’ll take a lot more than that to wake him up.” Henry's Dreamscape. Kingdom of Valencia. (Ella, Henry and several of the refugees are lead into the castle by the king's soldiers. Standing at the staircase is a gloating King Richard.) King Richard: "Well, well, well. How the mighty have fallen. Princess Ella of Valencia and her rebels. (To a guard:) Has she been searched?" Guard: "Yes, Sire." King Richard: (As the guard holds out the Jewel of Valencia:) "Ah ha. I'll take that, thank you. (To Henry:) And if it isn't the hero." Henry: "The name's Henry and this isn't over yet." (Seizing the guard's sword, Henry manages to disarm three soldiers before turning to see Ella in Gareth's grasp.) Gareth: (With a knife at Ella's throat:) "Your move... 'Cause I haven't killed anybody all day.” King Richard: “Gareth! We agreed I would say the cool things.” Gareth: (To Henry:) “So, what's it gonna be?” King Richard: “Damn it, Gareth!” Henry: “Fine.” (Drops the sword.) Ella: “Henry, no!” Henry: “Now let her go.” King Richard: “You are so noble. But, no, I don’t think I will. Well, well, well... Looks like it's time for dinner. (To Gareth:) Nailed it.” Gareth: “Boom.” The Dungeons. (Henry, Ella and the other prisoners are lead into the dungeons.) King Richard: (To Ella:) “Well, normally I would let you say your goodbyes but I'm executing Henry the hero straight away. Guards, take this man to the gallows immediately.” Ella: (As Henry is hauled away and a hood put over his head, Gareth closes the cell door:) “No!” King Richard: (To Gareth:) “Hmm. It's nice to finally have people down here. Feels lived in.”

Storybrooke. (Dressed only in his hospital gown and robe, Greg Mendell is shoved inside a shipping container. Following him inside are Alice and Rumplestiltskin.) Rumplestiltskin: "There, we shouldn't be disturbed here. Now, dearie. Who are you?" Greg: "M-my name is Greg Mendell, I'm from-" Rumplestiltskin: "Don't insult my intelligence. Tell me who you really are." Greg: (Looking back and forth between Alice and Rumplestiltskin:) "Okay, I give up, who the hell am I?" Alice: "Sometimes that's the greatest puzzle isn't it?" Rumplestiltskin: "Tell us who you are!" Greg: "You're mad, you've gone mad." Alice: (Shakily:) "We're all mad here!" (Alice suddenly pulls out a gun.) Rumplestiltskin: "Alice, what are you doing?" Alice: "This was in your glove box. I thought you wanted me to bring it?" Rumplestiltskin: "No, I keep that for my protection. I still have enemies. Now, put the gun down." Alice: "No, sorry. We don't have a choice." Greg: (Panicked:) "Why are you doing this?" Alice: (Waving the gun around frantically:) "Because we need answers." Rumplestiltskin: "Alice, no!" (When Rumplestiltskin makes a move for the gun, it goes off, shooting him. Aghast at what she's just done, Alice drops the gun as Rumplestiltskin collapses to the floor, a pool of blood forming around him. Having seen more than enough, Greg Mendell turns and runs out of the container, as fast as his legs will carry him.) Henry's Dreamscape. Kingdom Of Valencia. Gallows. (Striding confidently onto the platform, Richard approaches the hooded man.) King Richard: "Not so tough, are you now, (Removes the hood:) Henr- (The Chef is revealed underneath the hood:) Aah!!" Chef: "Aah!!" Meanwhile... (Henry is pushed into a chair and his hood removed. Laid before him is an exquisite banquet of food.) Queen Madelena: (Entering the room:) "Hello, darling." Henry: (Turns:) "Queen Madelena?" Queen Madelena: "There's braised rabbit and Bordaux." Henry: "You saved me?" Queen Madelena: "Oh, I've done a lot more than that. (Picking up a bread knife, she cuts Henry's hands free:) I have a proposal for you. (Taking a seat opposite:) I've written someone, and he's coming to execute my plan. He doesn't play nice. (Raising her goblet:) Everything's about to change."

TV: We now return to Gen Z Seinfeld.

George: That's it. I'm done. I'm done, Jerry! I'm done dating She/They!

Jerry: You're done dating She/Theys?

George: I'm done! It's too much trouble. They always dress better than me and give me lectures...

Jerry: They give you lectures??

George: I love leftist political discourse just as much as the next guy, Jerry! But sometimes, sometimes, we can just talk about the weather!

Jerry: You want to talk about the weather? What's there to talk about? It's hot. It's cold. Sometimes it rains. Weather, that's about it.

George: I like hail.

Jerry: Hails great!

Kramer: *comes in* Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?

Jerry: Hey Kramer, did you hear this?

Kramer: Hear what, Jerry?

Elaine: Apparently George is swearing of She/Theys.

Kramer: But George, you have that Park date with Moss tomorrow? Moss uses She/They pronouns.

Elaine: I never understood the 'Park Date' thing.

George: I like Parks! Besides Moss uses They/She pronouns.

Jerry: What's the difference?

George: There's a difference! It's all about the sequencing, Jerry.

Jerry: The sequencing?

George: Yes, the sequencing, I wouldn't have a potatoes and steak dinner, but I would have steak and potatoes.

Jerry: I don't even know what you're saying anymore.

Kramer: So, you guys remember that K-pop stan who tried doxxing me?

Elaine: Which stans? THS Jungkook or Jimin?

Kramer: No, this is a new one. They stan V!

Jerry: What about them?

Kramer: I think they work for the CIA.

Alice: [tilting her head] It's amusing enough, but is this one of those things where it's much funnier if you've seen the original show?

Richard: I have, and while they've got the dialogue beats right, I keep getting hung up on if George really is the kind of person to respect pronouns.

Christopher: To make himself look better, definitely. . .

#~M: I want some questions! now! (ask)#~M: grin without a cat (anon)#~V: Cuddlepile #~T: Girls Love Girls And Boys #gen z seinfeld #~C: Alice Liddell #~C: Christopher White #~C: Richard Hatter #((my thoughts are Richard's #though it's been a while since I've seen the original show #but I could see George pretending to be more woke than he really is to get dates #and to be fair CIA K-Pop Stan does sound like the kind of B-Plot Kramer would be involved in))#~M: with this hand I will lift your queue

Karl Urban as Batman/Bruce Wayne

World’s Finest(This is not BVS this is World’s Finest. This is not a dumbed down fight scene just to kiss Frank Miller’s ass to adapt the most overrated comic.

Hal Jordan mentoring under Sinestro (who does NOT turn evil at the end of the first, but instead the end of the second movie and in the third movie is when we get Sinestro Corps, however my big change to Sinestro’s character is Sinestro isn't a tyrant of his own people. Have it be that Sinestro used the ring to better his own world and his people love him, but the Guardians saw that as interference and marked Sinestro as a threat)

AU Thursday: Wonderland Fuzz -- Casting Call! Part 1

All right, I gave you an overview and a few details on the AU last week -- this week, I’m giving you some of my initial ideas on who plays what in this AU, and a couple of notes as to why! This is “Part 1″ because I’m still debating over who in the fandoms fits certain roles best. Got most of them, though! For spoiler and length reasons, everyone past our main two is going under a readmore.

Alice Liddell as Nicholas Angel -- Determined, takes no shit, surprisingly good with weaponry, perhaps tries a little too hard to prove herself sometimes, will not stop when it comes to bringing evil to justice? Alice in a nutshell, baby. And as I stated before, the idea of her as the super-serious super-cop who eventually finds friendship/love and learns how to calm down a bit appeals to me.

Victor Van Dort as Danny Butterman -- Okay, admittedly Danny is pretty much NOTHING like Victor, but hot-gluing a few of his traits onto my boy -- namely his love of action movies -- amuses me. Plus I do headcanon my Victors as the sort who would appreciate having a bit of adventure in their lives (at least before the CB incident), which goes well with Danny's want to experience "real action and shit." Hot Fuzz also doesn't officially have a romance, but -- well. Nicholas was going to have a female love interest (named Victoria, of all things), but she ended up cut -- and her lines given to Danny. With minimal editing, from what I understand. So yeah, everyone (including Pegg, Frost, and Wright) just accepts Nick and Danny enter a relationship at some point. With this being a Valice AU, of course Victor has to be in the "love interest" spot.

Sandford Police Service

William Van Dort as Frank Butterman -- As I said in the first post, the idea of kindly William turning out to be evil just tickles me. He also fits Frank pretty well personality-wise -- they're both fairly affable, make their fair share of dumb jokes, and are inspired largely by their wives' wants (Frank does what he does because his wife so desperately wanted to win Village of the Year that, when Sandford lost at the last minute thanks to some traveling Rromani, she killed herself driving her car off a cliff -- Nell of course will do the same in the backstory of this AU).

The March Hare and the Dormouse (humanized into Marchand Hare and Dormand Mouse) as detectives Andy Wainright and Andy Cartwright (the Andys) -- Duo who are pretty much never seen apart, are clearly best friends with each other against the world, are kind of lazy but capable of good work, can be rude and abrasive but also helpful to the main character? Sounds like March and Dormy to me! The best part is their humanized names keeps both the "March and Dormy" nicknames we're familiar with from Alice stuff, plus the "Andys" nickname from the original movie.

The Hatter (Richard Hatter) as Tony Fisher -- Again, a largely-incompetent fellow who believes himself to be better than he is, but is capable of moments of competence, even genius? Sounds good for Hatter! And Tony regularly begging Nick for help during police work in the movie does kind of remind me of Hatter demanding Alice's help in finding his limbs in A:MR.

Emily (Cartwell) & Victoria Everglot as Doris Thatcher -- Okay, TECHNICALLY only Emily is playing Doris, as she's the one I can see cracking Doris's dirty jokes. The reason Victoria's "sharing" the role is that I wanted her to be part of the station set, but there isn't another woman officer in Sandford, and she's not appropriate for Bob Walker. So Victoria is a new character who patrols with Emily and who everyone just assumes is Emily's best friend. Only Victor (and later Alice) know the truth that they're actually dating. (Yes, Victor did actually date both of them in the past -- William still bugs him to get back together with Victoria.)

Scraps as Saxon -- Saxon's a pretty minor role as the local police dog in Sandford, and as the Alice games have no major dog characters. . .besides, a sleepy town doesn't need a big police dog, now do they? :p

Generals (Bill) Bonesaparte and (Bailey) Wellington as Desk Sergeants Turner -- This one sadly destroys a joke (namely, that there are two Desk Sergeants Turner -- Bill Bailey plays both, and we only see them together at the very end, right before the climax), but it's a minor role, and it seems suited enough to this double-act of general friends. I figure Bonesaparte, being the chattier of the two, would be the Night Sergeant (who's neater and talks more), and Wellington would be the Day.

Neighborhood Watch Alliance

Barkis Bittern as Simon Skinner -- Cripes, this was simple. Skinner is set up as basically Obviously Evil from the word "go," and since Barkis comes off the same way. . . They share the same smarmy "charm" and vaguely threatening air. Plus Barkis getting a model church spire through the chin is pretty easy with the size of his. XD (I BRIEFLY considered making Bumby Skinner early on, but then decided to keep him in Alice's backstory. Skinner is supposed to be kind of funny too, and that's easier with Barkis than it is with Bumby.)

Finis and Maudeline Everglot as Joyce and Bernard Cooper -- There's two main married couples in the movie, and I felt the Everglots fit this pair better. The Coopers run the hotel Nick stays at for the majority of the movie -- I could see slightly-less-snooty (or more desperate) Everglots converting their mansion into a hotel for the cash. And Maudeline well fits the "fascist"/"hag" gag that pops up between Joyce and Nick (she's doing a crossword when they first meet -- "facist" and "hag" are answers in it). I might have to switch their roles in the big finale, though -- Joyce uses a gun and Bernard a sword, but it makes more sense for gun-loving Finis to shoot at Alice.

Paul and Ms. Plum (Paul and Jane Plum) as Roy and Mary Porter -- This is the other main married couple -- as they run a bar, The Crown, I figured using some of the staff of the Ball & Socket would be appropriate. Paul's the character most associated with serving drinks in CB, and Plum the main female character of the B&S, so there you go! ...Actually, thinking about it, given that Roy is taken out during the climax via a bear trap to the head -- yeah, definitely has to be Paul. XD

Pastor (Christopher) Galswells as Reverend Philip Shooter -- Just fitting the two religious figures together here. Galswells is a sterner figure than Shooter, but that should just make him shouting "Fuck off, grasshopper" and pulling guns in the final battle all the more hilarious. XD

Murder Victims

Carpenter (Bruno Carpenter) as Martin Blower -- This was easy -- Martin is an absolutely awful actor (the version of Romeo & Juliet he stages is PRICELESS), so there was no competition for this role. Though somehow I think Carpenter is going to be an even bigger ham than he was. At least Martin never made up words. XD

Walrus (Walter Russo) as Eve Draper -- Eve's no great shakes as a thespian herself, which is a decent fit for Walrus -- as is her general annoying personality (she specifically has an awful laugh, which I'll probably give Walter). Eve and Martin are also in a relationship in the movie, so this is a great way to keep the Walrus and the Carpenter together.

The Town Crier (Tom Crier) as Tim Messenger -- I was stuck for a while as to who should be the town's local reporter -- then FINALLY I realized "oh hey, there's a character in Corpse Bride who's only role is to SPREAD THE NEWS." So that works! I even have the built-in quirk of him ALWAYS SPEAKING AT TOP VOLUME.

The Queen of Hearts/Red Queen (Rose Queen) as Leslie Tiller -- I was also stuck on this role for a bit -- Leslie is a local, super-skilled florist, and has a minor but important role of telling Nick some crucial information before she's killed. After some thought, I decided the Queen was a good fit for three reasons:

A) Both the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen (of which the game Queen is an algamation) are associated with gardening/flowers (the famous "painting the roses red" bit, and the Looking Glass garden where the Red Queen first appears)

B) The Queen's big bit in A:MR is giving Alice some crucial information (her domain's big memory confirms it was Bumby who killed Alice's family, and she encourages Alice to look more at what's around her, which probably helps her realize how Bumby's been abusing the children)

C) Leslie's also a NWA member, and the Queen is the main villain in AMA. Leslie is murdered for wanting to move (they didn't want another village getting her skills), while the Queen is eclipsed by the bigger evil of Bumby's Dollmaker. Pretty damn good fit in the end!

Other

Charlie, The Insane Children, Skeleton Boy, and Skeleton Girl as The Hoodies -- The Hoodies are actually teenagers/tweens, so they'd have to be aged up a bit, but I figured this was a good place to stick most of the children from both the Alice games and Corpse Bride. The Insane Children and Skeleton Boy and Girl certainly seem up for the mischief they perpetrate, and for helping Alice out in the end. Charlie, being the only one of the lot with a canonical name, might have the pleasure of being the Hoodie Leader (aka Gabriel Weaver -- the subplot about him being the grandson of NWA member Tom Weaver was cut, but anything can happen in an AU).

Solemn Village Boy as Aaron A. Aaronson -- I almost gave this role to Charlie, but then I realized I could keep the joke with Aaron's name if I made him the unnamed Solemn Village boy from Corpse Bride instead. And as the joke (and being Skinner's brief hostage before biting the jerk) is really Aaron's only point to being in the movie...

The Houndsditch Children as the Underage Bar Patrons -- Again, aged up to teenagers. It seemed like overkill to stick the Houndsditch kids in with the Hoodies, and the bratty responses most of the patrons give suit the bratty nature of the Houndsditch lot. Also the fact that something horrible happens to them in the end (the kids start misbehaving when Angel ejects them from the bar, and the NWA kills ANYONE who makes the town look bad...).

Emil as Tina -- Once again replacing a woman with a man, but this is a minor role focused on being a helper (Tina is Skinner's secretary, who spends most of her time lounging at his desk), and we all know Emil the super-butler is good at that. We'd just have to take out the part where he's also a dancer at a club. (Or we could leave it in and have everyone be weirded out.) This also has the amusing consequence of him being taken out at least partially by his canonical employers' daughter. XD

Maggot and Black Widow (Enn Maggon and Betty Black) as Greg and Sheree Prosser -- These are background characters noted as being better actors than Martin and Eve; might as well fill their roles with some of Emily's comic relief friends, right? They're also minor NWA members, so that helps keeps the ranks appropriately Burtony.

Nan Sharpe as Janine -- Sort of -- Nan is not Alice's former girlfriend, as Janine was for Nick! Instead, Nan retains her role as Alice's old nanny, who she goes to talk to after gets she gets promoted/transferred. Nan's the one who tells her she needs to find someone who helps her "switch off," thus setting up the eventual Alice/Victor romance. It's a minor role, but it seems well-suited for Nan (especially since I've already cast the other role she could have -- dirty-minded Doris).

Tim Burton, Mike Johnson, and American McGee as The Met's Sergeant, Inspector, and Chief Inspector Kenneth -- These characters have the minor but important role of sending Nick to Sandford in the original film (for making everyone else look bad), so I just thought it would be funny I used the directors of CB and the mind behind the Alice games for them.

#wonderland fuzz #casting call #some of these were super easy #and some were HARD yo #I still haven't finished casting the NWA #or one of the murder victims #I feel like I need to get Cheshire and Bonejangles in there somehow #but I'm not sure who they'd fit #there's still one police officer where the joke is that he's almost unintelligible #unless you know his accent #but is that a good fit for Cheshire?#I was thinking humanized Caterpillar #decisions decisions #queued
