Finally made a Clue Crew sideblog! Madi, Art History MA. Main: @mads1390Pinterest is being stupid rn, so ask for the link to the images from my posts if interested!
Y'all, this post is specifically dedicated to Scott Carty and Robert Jones, voices of Ned Nickerson and Joe Hardy respectively - two PERFECTLY cast actors who have held their characters down VERY NEARLY for the length of the entire series.
(Joe has been consistently voiced by Jones. Ned first appeared in Stay Tuned for Danger, voiced by a different actor. But then Carty voiced Charlie in Message in a Haunted Mansion and had such perfect Boyfriend Voice™ that right after that they brought him back for Ned and the rest is history, I guess.)
Both of their performances are so synonymous with the characters for me. Every time one of them speaks, I'm always like "YES. THIS IS HOW THIS CHARACTER SHOULD SOUND. THIS IS PERFECT."
- “the older your father got, Joy, the more he realized that life was made up of memories. he realized that even bad memories have a place in a good life” (Miles the Magnificent Memory Machine - CAR)
- “they hung Dirk at noon. I thought I would be glad but I ain’t.”
“The Harrison’s Yellow which Frances said was her favorite flower in the world is just a pile of brown stix now. I don’t know how to look after delicate things like that so it is my fault that it died… I ain’t seen or heard from Frances in a year. I tell people she is on her way home but when I look in my heart I know this is a lie.” (Meryl Humber, SHA)
- “Some women with noses that would put birds of prey to shame are perfectly content with their appearance, while others with perfectly acceptable features are convinced they are more hideous than Frankenstein. Self image– it can make people do strange things.” (Jean-Michel - DAN)
- “You watch this dark rampaging monster go tearing across the land, wrecking everything it touches, til all of a sudden, it ain’t there no more. Ya can’t go after it, ya can’t make it put everything back, ya can’t get even with it, ‘cause it’s just… gone. All you can do is stand there thinkin’… now that ain’t fair. That just ain’t fair.” (Pa - TOT)
- “You think you’re entitled to a straight answer? Who are you, Nancy? A stranger. You forget that too easily.” (Miwako Shimizu - SAW)
- “Saw Maggie on a walk today with her new boyfriend. She gave me a sad look, and there was something else there… was it pity? Am I to be pitied now?” (Alexei Markovic’s journal - ASH)
- "I can't help but wonder if they're misfortunate fools, or just addicted to Sunday clothes and the sound of a spade takin' a bite out of cold clay."
(Savannah Woodham - GTH)
- “I wanted to be her when I grew up. But then one day I was older than my older sister, and older still today.” (Harper Thornton - GTH)
- “And I hear your song, whenever the world is quiet enough.” (Nancy, talking to her mom - SPY)
- "Family. People. That's what matters. The rest is useless noise." (Elisabet Grimursdottir - SEA)
And, finally, this nightmare from a dead soldier:
- “VICTUM INVIDEO SILENTE : The Conquered shall envy The Dead.” (Milo Penvellyn’s Coat of Arms - CUR)
some of these have been posted before, but I figured I'd compile them in one place. Here are some unused/possibly just unbeknownst to me audio files that WILL and already HAVE kept me up at night:
Addison believing that Jessalyn is dead and blaming herself
MORE SAVANNAH/WADE
Savannah calling Nancy a yenta = possible Jewish Savannah!??
Wade and Savannah breaking up because of Wade going to jail
Confirmation that Jackson was a Bad Man with no family values 📝📝👀👀
Wade was originally going to be a more distant cousin
Wade using the Grey Lady's grave to throw shade at Clara
Young Clara being so severely traumatized and convinced her aunt and uncle didn't want her DEAR GOD
Wade waiting for his own death :( FROWNY FACE :(
Addison's sad comment on Clara's parenting
Harper's super dramatic metaphor for her and Clara's fallen sisterhood that breaks my heart every time
Harper explaining her affinity for books... (#supportyourlocallibraries) Also re-contextualizes her "I don't function well in reality" comment a bit
Colton (righteously) yelling at his parents/his parents wanting him to ask for money from the grieving Thorntons lmaooo
Colton doing some SHADY SHIT that I don't even know what it is but good for him
Jessalyn dramatically telling someone they can't keep running away. Originally assumed it was Clara, but since Colton literally tries to run away, I think it was actually meant to be a confrontation between Jess and Colton
Addison somehow getting scared off of helping Nancy
Jessalyn realizing Clara's controlling behavior is part of a much bigger and more disturbing pattern (delicious)
(Kind of suggests Wade was originally going to be more estranged, too? Since in-game dialogue has Wade saying he and everyone is close to Jessalyn, but this bit of dialogue suggests Clara tried to keep them away from each other.)
Possible Wade & Harper scene?
Wade saving Nancy
Nancy letting Clara stay in the fire all suicidalcore OR possibly, based on the prev dialogue, HARPER doing it and Nancy coming to save Clara
"I CHANGED MY MIND" ruh roh!!!
Possibly Nancy listening to Clara burning alive and just
my brain didnt wanna do anything creative for so long and then it was like "hey what if we spend 16 hours on a silly musical animation loop/Nancy Drew fanart animation" I havent even thought about those books in 18 years what is happening
me to myself: Rissa you have to stop saying "who knows" in the Joanna Riggs voice, no one knows what your doing
my coworker: *asks a question I don't know the answer to*
me:
Remember my bestie who gifted me a hand-made replica of a bento puzzle from the hit videogame Nancy Drew: Shadow at the water's edge for my birthday? Well, it's HER Birthday today!
This year I thought I would combine her love for dress-up games and Nancy Drew games into a nostalgic paper doll just like the ones from our childhood✨
Picking a wardrobe selection from The Phantom of Venice game was no brainer, that one is very much iconic.
And here is Nancy in my favourite outfit in front of my childhood's treasure - Nancy Drew books ❤️ What a fashion icon.
Happy Birthday once again to my bestie. I am very happy that you were born💕
