#He and Ashley are playing likely the tallest characters
Note
Resident evil characters as Quarry counselor head canons please?
Tumblr media
aaaand complete
Leon, Carlos, Chris 
Close combat training
Carlos and Chris were the original counselors but Leon tagged along sometime along the way.
Chris is the biggest of the 3 and does thing a little differently, he's more about Wrestling and grappling his opponent 
Carlos is the second biggest of the three, his style is more about the San Shou style, that of which he mastered since he was younger
Leon being the smallest of the three and one of the shorter ones, his style is all about legs and Taekwondo.
Chris often challenges Carlos and Leon to fight, knowing he’s the tallest but is always surprised to lose.
Carlos may be the shortest of the three but it would be a lie to say he was weak, he and Leon often spar together for most of the lessons on how to properly block attacks
Chris often has to have a volunteer for his demonstrations as all he does is fold every poor soul who takes him up on that offer. He doesn't care much for blocking as he makes it known that you should always move in and get close as quickly as possible to fight how he likes.
Ada, Sheva, Krauser
Archery 
Krauser is more competitive than Ada and Sheva are and easily gets frustrated at how nonchalant they are about archery. As much as he sees Ada as competition they bond over mechanical bow skills unlike with Sheva. 
Sheva has the same and even a little better bow skills than Krauser, she prefers traditional bows over mechanical bows like Krauser does, but because of him she dabbles in the use of compact bows. 
Ada is more calm and collected, more of a fan of crossbows than regular bows like Sheva and Krauser. She likes to challenge Sheva for fun (they hit the same amount of targets in the same amount of time) 
Krauser loves to challenge Sheva to challenges and is always wanting a round 2 after he loses (8/10 times) Sheva doesn't take the challenges personally as archery is a second nature for her. 
Sheva was the counselor to start the lessons, since she’s been an expert in archery since she was young she never had any difficulties with being THE teacher for it, even though Krauser takes every chance he gets to suggest trying his Bow, she passes.
Krauser, Ada, Leon
Knife training
Knife combat
Krauser thought he was the one with the most knife training as he was THE top counselor for it, however Ada was a close second. Him having the biggest knife wasn't much against Ada having the quickest
Krauser and Ada are more users of daggers and large knives over Leon using regular Combat and Boot knives 
Krauser as much as he hates it, is the only one with enough skill to spar with Ada and show off to the campers how to properly hack and stab at something
Ada with her quickness shows more of how to block and effectively slash if need be, She isn't the type to Knife throw like Krauser and Leon though
Leon is the only one with the knives small enough for throwing, as cool as the big knives look, they aren't too effective when thrown. Because of his use of Combat and boot knives, he easily blocks all things thrown at him and throws back even harder. 
Ashley, Sherry, rebecca
Self defense 
Ashley, being the president's daughter often has to be the one who defends herself to the public, for anyone brave enough to try and attack her physically they are surprised to find that she can easily flip anyone over.
Sherry, being the one who takes up some dangerous jobs, has to learn defense for herself as sometimes she's on her own for missions. Besides her training with weapons she teaches the techniques on how to block and strike.
Ashley is more into strong physically attacks rather then blocking, however she did take up blinding techniques after the events in spain and teaches how to disorient and attack the attackers
Rebecca isn't one to play around with, despite her height and size she can fight better than most taller than her, she was the original to teach Ashley some of the things she knows and has perfected the arts of Disorienting. 
Rebecca not only teaches hand to hand defense, but also defense with her gadgets. Using various tasers and pepper sprays to fight back.

Mama Mia AU, brought to you by DivorceParents!Tubbo
Time to post then disappear for two months again. Anyway, lets get into it.
We have Philza as Donna, ofc. (Milf)
Tubbo is Sophie (Main character who??)
Techno as Tanya (The divorced one)
Wilbur as Rosie (The short lady)
Schlatt is Sam Charmichael (The tallest dude)
Captin Sparklez as Harry Bright (The one who sings “last summer”)
CorpseHusband as Bill Anderson (Sailor man)
Ranboo as Sky (HusbandTM)
Tommy is Ashley (Sophie’s bff but kinda irrelevant ngl)
Okay, now imagine.
Philza runs his pub/resort thing on the island ofc, but when he was younger someone left Tubbo on his doorstep with a note saying that whoever left him was an “old friend”. Anyway, now Tubbo’s getting married to Ranboo, and they act all exited but neither of them want to get married, they’re just really good friends, but Ranboo’s parents pressured him into it. Whilst this is going on, Tubbo invites three dudes who are supposed to be his dad. Plot ensues, Schlatt, Sparlez, and Corpse come at the same time, Philza freaks the fuck out and fails in hiding them, you know how this movie/musical goes. 
HC time boyos
- At the start of the movie, Tubbo’s tiny horns are hidden by his hair, but over the course of the movie/musical they grow, making it obvious who his parent was (Schlatt, if your incompetent).
- No romance here. Nope. Only Bros.
- Techno Wilbur and Philza band hell yeah
- And imma tell you what instrument they play because I want to
- Phil plays the saxaphone, even though he gives off brass vibes
- Wilbur plays bass (guitar)
- Techno plays drums because fuck the violin, that shits hard. All my homies hate the violin.
- Captain still sings “last summer”
- Wilbur and Techno come to see Phil because they’re getting the band back together because he’s leaving the pub to Tubbo when he gets married
- At the wedding scene, Ranboo tells Tubbo that he loves him, but only as a friend (no minor shipping here), and Tubbo’s like “oh thank god you said it first”, but they still get married for tax purposes
- MUMZA????? Yes. She comes in at the end because she was on a work thing or whatever, but she appears because I want her too.
- I lied about romance, Schlatt ends up finding love with our boy Quackity, who works as the bartender at the pub (nontoxic ofc, this is a fun hc)
this is about it, until I think about it more and think of more things to add. Hope y’all enjoyed, please comment I need internet validation, or don’t lmao no pressure. Send shit in asks, whatever. Drink water. I’ll see you either tomorrow or in like a month lmao :]

For the ask game; 💗 "Ramble a bit about this character" Billy from TWF!
Where do I start with Billy. Well, I think he’s neat.
He’s just a funky little clown who has a funky knew to much gal haunting him-
Serious time(not really-):
Billy, he’s just there...it feels like sometimes. He definitely plays a bigger role than let’s say Brian Stells, but It feels like he kinda just exist sometimes.
We’ve only seen him twice, those appearances being Relocate Project and BunnyFarm, So I kind feel like we don’t know a lot about him.
Now, that’s not saying I’m not gonna make him a personality as I suck at picking up on canon character personalitys-
I feel like his role was bigger in Episode 2/Relocate Project, as in BF his appearance was short. Fun Fact:
On October 16th in BunnyFarm Billy actually turned either inverted colors or grayscale. He kinda looks like Ashley Parks if you ask me.
Little Bon Billy wise:
He is small and I‘ll fight on it. Granted all the Little Bon characters are small but Banny and Billy are the shortest and Boozoo is the tallest.
Favorite character wise he’s right under Susan Woodings, which puts him at four, since the order goes 1)Sophie, 2)Ashley, 3)Susan and then 4)Billy.
Can I write Headcanons for him here? Oh well gonna happen:
~He’s the shortest, followed by Banny, Sha, Boozoo and then Bon
~His ungloved hand only works when Ashley is in control
~His design was the idea of Edd
~He can actually talk even if he doesn’t have a tape in, he has a actual voice box but it would break a lot and after Susan went missing they just opted to use him for b-days and only use tapes for his voice
~Susan wanted to cover his mask in stickers, which Billy did after they where moved and after Ashley was killed, as Ashley carried stickers around
~He can speak other languages
~He/they
~First to be moved out of Bon’s. Bon was the last moved
~Self-aware
~They leave Ashley alone most of the time
~Billy and Ashley have a...odd...relationship to say the least. One minute they like each other. The next they don’t.
Ok, I think that’s everything so-
Anyway, thank you for sending this in!

Teach me - byler
AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22132717#main
Mike had invited his best friend over for the afternoon. For no particular reason. He just wanted to see him. The watched a movie sat on the couch of the basement. Limbs tangled under the blanket.
Then they talked for at least half an hour, listening to some music on the radio. To finally finish by playing video games, sat on the couch, sides pressed together.
“Hey um, Mike?” Will stopped playing for a second.
“Yeah” Mike said not looking away from the screen.
“There’s this boy in my art class, he kinda asked me out and we have a date this weekend” Will’s words made Mike’s throat tighten. His character dying in the video game was a great metaphor to what he was feeling right now.
“That’s great” He tried his best to sound genuine even though in reality he felt a tear in his heart.
“Yeah but I’m so nervous. I’ve never done anything like this before, I don’t know what to do… Could you maybe give me some advice?” Will asked.
Give Will some advice to date some other guy that may lead to a long lasting relationship that would constantly break Mike’s heart, no way!
“Sure” He mentally slapped himself. “I mean I don’t know what dating a boy is like, but I can give date advice”
Mike only dated two people, two girls. His first ever girlfriend was El, but they were quite young and didn’t really know what love was and it ended up with them being more friends than anything. Then last year, he was seeing this small brunette named Ashley. Her big green eyes certainly didn’t remind him of someone else.
His relationship with Ash wasn’t serious, the whole Party knew about it but never judged him. The quick making out sessions in the school bathroom and lack of romantic dates, was nothing more than Mike’s way to keep his mind off his best friend who he had fallen deeply in love with.
“Okay so how do I start?” Will suddenly stood up and walked a little bit away from the sofa to shake his arms and stretch his legs.
“Well,” Mike followed him and stood in front of him. “you can start by holding hands maybe” Mike said and Will simply nodded. He waited a couple of seconds before he grabbed Mike’s hand. Then looked at him in the eyes. Mike wasn’t expecting it but went along.
“Like this?” Will asked.
“More like…” He moved his hand, interlocking their fingers “…this” They both stared at their hands. Mike felt his heart sank, the way Will’s small hand fit perfectly in his felt so natural.
Mike looked up and their eyes met. They stared at each other for a moment. Mike unconsciously started to rub his thumb on Will’s hand, only aware of it when he felt Will reproduce the movement, which brought Mike’s eyes back on their linked hands.
“Yeah just like that” Mike smiled.
“Then what?” Will asked, clueless.
“Uuuh… Try complimenting him” Mike implicitly told Will that he could try on him. Will bit his bottom lip, avoiding Mike’s eyes instead looking him up and down trying to come up with something nice to say.
“I like your sweater” Will tried. The comment made Mike chuckle.
“I mean yes, that is a compliment but maybe try something more… personal.” Mike clarified still holding Will’s hand.
“Like what?”
“Like…” Mike’s heart was racing anticipating what he was about to say. “I love the way your eyes lit up when you smile” His stomach definitely did a backflip right there.
Will’s eyes fluttered as he took a deep breath, not expecting something so personal. Mike though that maybe he went too far and started to pull away.
“or something else, that applies to him, I-” He said while pulling away, but Will tightened his grip on Mike’s hand to bring him back.
“You know how people have their heads in the clouds,” Mike turned his body to face Will. “well mine is often in the stars because the freckles on your face are like constellations.” If Will’s cheeks were slightly pink while saying it Mike’s definitely were bright red and so warm he thought, he might have rosacea. But what he was the most aware of was the way his heart melted.
“Y-yeah that’s, that’s very effective” They finally dropped their hands down. Mike realized his was so sweaty. He wiped it off on his jeans, before bringing it to his neck avoiding Will’s eyes who did the same. Mike broke the silence with his next sentence.
“Well, I think you’re good for a first date.” Mike said walking back to the couch.
“What if he tried to kiss me?” Will blurted out. This scenario never crossed his mind but if Will was to date someone they would end up kissing sooner or later. He hated it but he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Unless you don’t want to, you just kiss him back” Mike said sadly. Not looking at him.
“I-I don’t know how to kiss…” Will said.
“Oh, well, it’s not that hard-”
“Will you show me?” He caught his sleeve, stopping Mike’s on the way.
Mike quickly lifted his head not believing what he just heard. It was a terrible idea. If he crossed that line he wasn’t sure he would recover from it. But his eyes unfortunately met Will’s puppy dog eyes. How could he say no to him? He simply nodded, not trusting his voice at the moment.
They were back in the same position as earlier. Facing and looking at each other, not saying anything. They stayed like that for a minute, leaving time for Mike to collect himself and think of what to say, what to do.
“So, you can start by holding his face or let him hold yours” Which is exactly what Mike did, he was more comfortable that way, and it was easier as he was the tallest of the two. “that way you can rest your hand on his shoulder or arm, for balance” Will brought his right hand to Mike’s shoulder.
“Like that?” He asked, his eyes not decided which eye to look at, and went from right to left and vice versa. Mike nodded and placed his other hand on Will’s waist, applying a little pressure. Will felt the hand burning through his sweatshirt. He briefly looked at it.
“It’s easier to bring him closer that way” He did exactly that as soon as the words left his mouth. Their bodies were almost touching. Will also placed his own hand on Mike’s hips.
“Then we just?” Will said implying the kiss.
“Uh-huh” Mike nodded. “Just remember to breathe through your nose instead of your mouth, that way the kiss lasts longer.”
“Got it”
“And you don’t have to, but keeping your eyes closed is…”
“less creepy.” He finished Mike’s sentence.
“Yeah”
“Okay”
Mike was ready to lean in but realized that he didn’t have to lean too far because they’ve been leaning since the beginning. They closed the gap and their lips collided. Mike felt his heart exploding as their lips moved together, sending electricity to the vey edges of his body. Will’s lips tasted so sweet, like candy almost. The kept on kissing for about 15 seconds before Will spoke against Mike’s lips.
“Do I need to do something while we kiss?” The way he phrased it made Mike forget about the art class boy and feel like the sentence was directed at him. He pulled away, just enough to be able to see Will.
“Yes, no, I mean, you can just kiss me” He was meant to say him. “but if you really want to you can move your hands” Mike dived back in for another kiss.
“Where to?” Will spoke against lips.
“Anywhere” Mike brought their body even closer, by putting his arm around Will’s waist, and moved his thumb on the small boy’s cheek, giving him an example.
Will moved one hand to the back of Mike’s neck, and the other was sliding down his back. “Like this?”
“Yes” He almost moaned out.
“Anything else?” They both pulled away and opened their eyes. They could see that the other was in the same messy state.
“Well,” Mike tried to catch his breath as he watched Will do the same. “There are a lot of other things you can do but then we’re talking about making out not just a simple kiss” As if what they’ve been doing wasn’t already making out.
“Okay” Will looked at him seriously and waited.
“Oh” It hit him that Will was willing to continue. “Okay ummm… just like before, the hands wandering and,” He looked away for a moment “you can also bite, not too hard, and put tongues…” He listed the possibilities. “But really, you jus- as you kiss you kinda see what the other person likes and you go along with it” He brought his attention back to Will who was glancing at his lips.
They leaned back in and kissed once again. This time more passionately, adding Mike’s suggestions to the bliss. Seeing as Will got more comfortable and started to make decisions for himself Mike encouraged him to do so.
“You can also feel free to add pressure or do something else you think you might like-” Mike totally forgot the rest of the sentence. His mind went blank as he felt Will kiss lowering to his neck, and gave him a love bite
“or do that!” Mike said with a higher pitched voice. He tried his best not to moan but it became impossible as his whole body went weak when Will combined the neck kiss and the slight hair pulling. It was a bit too much for mike so he pulled Will’s lips back to his. At this point they were both very aware that they had stopped pretending. They stumbled against the coffee table and fell on the couch.
Will ended up in Mike’s lap, grabbing his collar, while Mike held him down afraid that he’d fall again. They slowed their movements down. Mike broke the kiss. Will left his forehead against Mike’s, their eyes still closed.
“Please don’t go on your date.” Mike pleaded him.
“Not a chance… I never planned on going anyway” He said. Which made Mike open his eyes and look confused. “He did ask me out but it’s not him I want… because he’s not the one I’m in love with…” Will confessed staring at the helpless boy below him. Mike was glad he was sitting down because his knees became so weak he would’ve fallen. He felt his heart pumping as his lungs squeezed it when he took a deep breath. His head fell on Will’s chest.
“William Byers you will be the death of me” He mumbled on Will’s chest.
“If you die who’s gonna teach me how to kiss?” Will giggled. Combing Mike’s locks with his fingers.
“You definitely don’t need my tutoring anymore” Mike replied.
“Maybe not for kissing but I might need you to teach me other stuff” He said smirking. Mike looked up to see him smirking down and he froze. Is he implying? Mike went crimson and felt heat radiate through his entire body. “Not right now!” Will made it clear that he was not ready to go further and so was Mike.
“Okay good.” Mike felt relieved. “Because I would’ve died right there” They both laughed.
A couple of minutes past and Will broke the silence. “Soooo” He leaned back straightening his back. “Are you gonna ask me out or?” Will pinched his lips, looking at the ceiling. Mike smiled.
“How about,” He took Will’s hands in his. “I come pick you up, Saturday evening, and we can go see a movie, I’ll buy you popcorn AND reese's pieces, of course.”
“Wow so generous” Will joked
“I can be sometimes. And if you’re nice we can also grab an ice-cram on the way home. What do you say?”
“Is it a date?” Will asked smiling.
“It’s a date.” Mike smiled
“Then I’d love that!” Will answered and placed a soft kiss on his boyfriend’s lips.

Yesterday was a busy day of meetings and airplane travel for peter and connor but last night peter took some time to share his thoughts on the passing of the great christopher lee christopher lee was the tallest actor I ever knew he was also by far the most literate when we first met in a los angeles studio where he was recording his lines as king haggard in the last unicorn he had just recorded haggard’s speech about his first sight of unicorns and I mentioned that it was probably my favorite speech in the book he immediately wanted to know well did I do it properly we can always redo it right here of course he’d handled the lines perfectly but writers and writers’ opinions about their work mattered intensely to christopher that same afternoon we discovered that between the two of us we we could call to mind just about all the lines of g k chesterton’s poem the rolling english road we also discovered a mutual need to hit the men’s room and my son dan in his mid teens at the time still has a very clear memory of christopher simultaneously peeing while declaiming in that voice which no one could ever keep from imitating after fifteen minutes with him before the roman came to rye or out to severn strode the rolling english drunkard made the rolling english road a reeling road a rolling road that rambled round the shire and after him the parson ran the sexton and the squire I leave it to the reader to imagine that voice in the tiled acoustics of a hollywood bathroom we met a second time in munich where the last unicorn was being dubbed into german most of my memories of that time and of chris lee have to do with books and authors he had known both j r r tolkien and a writer who mattered more to me t h white we had a long ongoing argument in munich about a chapter of the sword in the stone that appears in the english edition of the book but not in the american one he turned out to be right he usually was he never failed to mention the last unicorn as one of his very favorite books and as one of the movies he was most proud of having made indeed he left my whopperjawed as mark twain would have put it when we were being interviewed together on austrian television and he announced oh yes I simply couldn’t resist a chance to play king haggard one more time even in another language after all and he looked straight into the camera it’s the closest they’ll ever let me get to playing king lear the camera swung toward me to catch my stunned reaction and chris looked across the studio at me and winked but my most vivid memory chilling as it remains to this day has to do with the day that I and michael chase walker associate producer of the last unicorn and the one who really got the film made in the first place somehow found our way out to dachau I can’t now recall how we managed it considering that neither one of us spoke german and that you had to take both a subway and a bus to get there from the hotel where the crew were staying but we got there somehow and spent a good half of the day roaming with other tourists around a legendary concentration camp peering blindly into the huge crematoriums but staring with equal horror and fascination at the endless rows of filing cabinets containing every record of every human being who was ever imprisoned starved gassed or simply worked to death in this place michael and I grew quieter and quieter that afternoon until by the time we started back to munich we weren’t speaking at all I think we both felt that we might say anything in words again the first person we met in the hotel lobby was christopher he took one look at us and announced you’ve been to dachau we nodded without answering chris strode toward us looked all the way down from his six foot five inch altitude lowered his voice and inquired still smells doesn’t it with the end of world war ii christopher as a member of the special forces and whose five or six languages included fluent german had been assigned to hunt down and interrogate nazi war crminals and had been present at the liberation of dachau and yes the smell of death had undoubtedly faded somewhat since 1945 but it was still as real as michael and me wandering dazedly between the ovens and the filing system we just didn’t know what it was but christopher did and i’d know it again I never saw him again after munich though we spoke on the telephone a few times on the last occasion when I had called to wish him a happy 90th birthday I remember him assuring me that if by the time you come to make your live action version of your movie I have passed on do not let it concern you I have risen from the dead several times I know how it’s done he worked almost to the last as the real artists of every kind do they work to be working because that’s what they do and they die when they stop I always regarded him as the last of the great 19th century actors that bravura larger than life style went with him no modern rada trained performer would ever attempt it today nor should they it would inevitably come out parody however earnestly meant yet there was always more to christopher lee as an actor than dracula or the mummy or saruman or sherlock holmes for that matter though he was very proud of having played not only both holmes and watson but sherlock’s brother mycroft as well lord summerisle of the original the wicker man probably his favorite of his own movies is most likely closer to chris’s dark benignity than any other role he ever inhabited I believe this because lord summerisle sings a surprising amount in that movie and chris passionately loved singing if there is any such thing as an afterlife or reincarnation I truly hope no believe that christopher lee will return as a wagnerian opera singer if he hadn’t been considered too old in his 30s to be accepted for formal vocal training he might have been in his own eyes at least a happier more fulfilled man but we would have been deeply poorer for it and never have known See Other related products: Mimi Witch Broom Halloween T-Shirt

Once Upon A Time There Was A Girl Who Really Loves Knitting And Dogs It Was Me The End Heart T Shirt
Yesterday was a Once Upon A Time There Was A Girl Who Really Loves Knitting And Dogs It Was Me The End Heart T Shirt busy day of meetings and airplane travel for peter and connor but last night peter took some time to share his thoughts on the passing of the great christopher lee christopher lee was the tallest actor I ever knew he was also by far the most literate when we first met in a los angeles studio where he was recording his lines as king haggard in the last unicorn he had just recorded haggard’s speech about his first sight of unicorns and I mentioned that it was probably my favorite speech in the book he immediately wanted to know well did I do it properly we can always redo it right here of course he’d handled the lines perfectly but writers and writers’ opinions about their work mattered intensely to christopher that same afternoon we discovered that between the two of us we we could call to mind just about all the lines of g k chesterton’s poem the rolling english road we also discovered a mutual need to hit the men’s room and my son dan in his mid teens at the time still has a very clear memory of christopher simultaneously peeing while declaiming in that voice which no one could ever keep from imitating after fifteen minutes with him before the roman came to rye or out to severn strode the rolling english drunkard made the rolling english road a reeling road a rolling road that rambled round the shire and after him the parson ran the sexton and the squire I leave it to the reader to imagine that voice in the tiled acoustics of a hollywood bathroom we met a second time in munich where the last unicorn was being dubbed into german most of my memories of that time and of chris lee have to do with books and authors he had known both j r r tolkien and a writer who mattered more to me t h white we had a long ongoing argument in munich about a chapter of the sword in the stone that appears in the english edition of the book but not in the american one he turned out to be right he usually was he never failed to mention the last unicorn as one of his very favorite books and as one of the movies he was most proud of having made indeed he left my whopperjawed as mark twain would have put it when we were being interviewed together on austrian television and he announced oh yes I simply couldn’t resist a chance to play king haggard one more time even in another language after all and he looked straight into the camera it’s the closest they’ll ever let me get to playing king lear the camera swung toward me to catch my stunned reaction and chris looked across the studio at me and winked but my most vivid memory chilling as it remains to this day has to do with the day that I and michael chase walker associate producer of the last unicorn and the one who really got the film made in the first place somehow found our way out to dachau I can’t now recall how we managed it considering that neither one of us spoke german and that you had to take both a subway and a bus to get there from the hotel where the crew were staying but we got there somehow and spent a good half of the day roaming with other tourists around a legendary concentration camp peering blindly into the huge crematoriums but staring with equal horror and fascination at the endless rows of filing cabinets containing every record of every human being who was ever imprisoned starved gassed or simply worked to death in this place michael and I grew quieter and quieter that afternoon until by the time we started back to munich we weren’t speaking at all I think we both felt that we might say anything in words again the first person we met in the hotel lobby was christopher he took one look at us and announced you’ve been to dachau we nodded without answering chris strode toward us looked all the way down from his six foot five inch altitude lowered his voice and inquired still smells doesn’t it with the end of world war ii christopher as a member of the special forces and whose five or six languages included fluent german had been assigned to hunt down and interrogate nazi war crminals and had been present at the liberation of dachau and yes the smell of death had undoubtedly faded somewhat since 1945 but it was still as real as michael and me wandering dazedly between the ovens and the filing system we just didn’t know what it was but christopher did and i’d know it again I never saw him again after munich though we spoke on the telephone a few times on the last occasion when I had called to wish him a happy 90th birthday I remember him assuring me that if by the time you come to make your live action version of your movie I have passed on do not let it concern you I have risen from the dead several times I know how it’s done he worked almost to the last as the real artists of every kind do they work to be working because that’s what they do and they die when they stop I always regarded him as the last of the great 19th century actors that bravura larger than life style went with him no modern rada trained performer would ever attempt it today nor should they it would inevitably come out parody however earnestly meant yet there was always more to christopher lee as an actor than dracula or the mummy or saruman or sherlock holmes for that matter though he was very proud of having played not only both holmes and watson but sherlock’s brother mycroft as well lord summerisle of the original the wicker man probably his favorite of his own movies is most likely closer to chris’s dark benignity than any other role he ever inhabited I believe this because lord summerisle sings a surprising amount in that movie and chris passionately loved singing if there is any such thing as an afterlife or reincarnation I truly hope no believe that christopher lee will return as a wagnerian opera singer if he hadn’t been considered too old in his 30s to be accepted for formal vocal training he might have been in his own eyes at least a happier more fulfilled man but we would have been deeply poorer for it and never have known.

Ok. Here’s my guesses.
1) It just kind of felt right?? I don’t know. Everyone else fell into place and the more I stared and thought about Taliesin the more it made sense so this one I don’t really have reasons for
2) Marisha has expressed that she’s excited about not being the moral compass/not having one which could mean a lot of things. But, I can also see her wanting a break from one thing: spellcasting. Also, Marisha loves monks so this one felt like her.
3) We already know that Liam has once again picked Sam’s class and race. Last time we got the least common class and race. I would not at all put it past Liam to this time give Sam the opposite: the most common class and race, especially together: Human Fighter. Also, knowing Sam he’d go from the shortest in the group to the tallest beside it’s Sam. And he is actually the tallest in the group and he gets weirded out when people met him and don’t realize that (can’t remember which Talks he said that in but it happened)
4) In a panel Laura did, Laura told the crowd that she and Travis were fighting over who was going to be the cleric and based off this silhouette picture I think he won. I also think the ears look kinda pointed which is why I went half-elf. And I can totally see Travis picking one of the lesser picked Cleric domains, OR even picking Tempest and going like the pirate/sailor route, because that fits the sort of ascetic we’re seeing and it fits Travis.
5) Look. This one took me for like 5ever. I can’t tell if it’s a halfling, a Kobold, some other creature. Definitely looks like it’s got claws on hands and feet and the hood is throwing me off. Also there are the no sleeves. I wanted to say rogue but I was down to Taliesin and Liam and I couldn’t see Laura and Liam both being tielfings and I couldn’t see Liam being a rogue again. But then I remembered blood-hunters…and werewolves/werecreatures, which could potentially explain the claws. But let’s pause for a second, what does Liam love to do? Fuck with Travis. What does Travis love? Werewolves. So. Yeah. Also Liam has said he likes halfings before so (lots of shrug emojis)
6) Laura Bailey (cue harp music) has expressed time and time again that she loves Assimar and Tieflings. I can totally see her going the Tielfing route and doing a Warlock. I’m not totally tied down to the Warlock. Totally plausible she went wizard but definitely think she went heavy spellcaster route this time.
7) Last but not least, this is either a barbarian to me based of clothing OR (please excuse the yelling that’s about to happen) THAT IS A GUN IN THE RIGHT HAND AND WE HAVE OURSELVES ANOTHER GUNSLINGER. Now I didn’t choose this as Ashley by default. I have a reason I think this is Ash. I 100% believe that Ashley’s new character is not a spellcaster. Why? Because a non-spellcaster is much easier to jagger when she isn’t around. Particularly if it’s a class that anyone of the cast has played before, which both of my suggestions are. As for race, I literally have no clue. Nothing. No idea. Human???? Seriously this is the one that stumped me completely. But back to class. The thing in the hand threw me. I was totally on board with barbarian since Ashley likes melee and she didn’t really get to do that with Pike but the hand threw me off
Anyways, we’ll see!! I love seeing everyone’s theories! We all have such different lenses and it’s so cool how we all interpret this!

Tumblr media
Transcript for Lacey Chabert talks ‘Mean Girls,’ ‘Party of Five’ and more
most fetch movie of all-time, “Mean girls.” Please welcome Lacey chabert. ?????? Hello. How are you? Thank you so much. Hi. Happy to have you here. Hi. So nice to see you. Hi, everybody. Oh, thank you. I love you. We had to get extra security for you. I love you guys too. Thanks for having me. Thank you for being here. It’s so good to have you here. So happy to be here. We had an “All my children” reunion a few weeks ago. Yes. And we’re kind of upset because you weren’t here. And you were on “All my children.” You play Susan Lucci’s daughter. I do not remember that. I did. I played Bianca when I was about 10 years old I think. Oh my goodness. There’s the picture. But it’s good to have you back at your old time slot. How about that? Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you for joining us. Now I’m sure you have heard this, but I’m a “Mean girls” super fan. I have heard. That’s light. I practice these lines and my daydream is to go back and forth. I heard last night you went to see it on Broadway. I did. I finally got to see the show. It was amazing. I thought too. It was so good. Didn’t you love it? Shirt — I took my friend and went in tank tops from P.E. You’re a real fan. I dressed the part. It was, like, “Little shop of horrors” for me. I realized, why am I even They did such a good job, and I think it was such a, you know, throwback to the movie in, like, the best way and yet they did their own way, and Ashley park who plays Gretchen was amazing and I got to meet her and take some pictures with them. I’m so happy I finally got to see it. Did she geek out when she met you? She did in, like, the best way, but I did too. Oh my gosh. You were amazing. I loved it. You did us proud. You did “All my children,” “Mean girls,” legendary, “Party of five” another good show. Thank you. There’s a reboot. They’re doing a “Party of five” reboot that’s in the works, but it’s different than it was before. If you were given the opportunity, would do you a cameo? Oh, absolutely. You know, I spent six years of my life on that show. I was 11 to 17. My pivotal years. Everything a young lady could go through happened to me during that show. I loved it, you know, all the things. That’s all she needs to say. We understand. Yeah. But I can’t wait to see what this new show, how it all is, and the writers and creators are amazing and they’re doing it. If they ask us to do a cameo, absolutely. Good to know. You’re a working mom. Yeah. You have a 2 1/2-year-old? Yes. My little Julia is 2 1/2, and she is — she’s the boss of us all. There she is. That’s a really fun handful of an age. Yes. It’s the most fun age because just the way her imagination works and she’s so sassy and funny and into, you know, the makeup and the purses and all the accessories. She’s just delicious. Yeah. I know, but I have a little boy and I don’t — I’m, like, this is what they were talking about. They’re becoming themselves and they let you know. Yes. Yeah. I gave her a time-out the other day for the first time and I’m trying to explain to her why I did that and she goes, I liked it. I like time-out. I was, like, yeah. Your dad’s going to have to handle this. Let me tell you this. You have got your hands full. That’s all I’m going to say. If they like the time-outs, there is nothing you can really do. Oh my. And she knows to let you know. In case you were thinking of doing it again. In case you thought that was a punishment, it wasn’t. You also filmed 17 hallmark movies. Yeah. How much time did that take you? Sometimes the juggle of it all — the juggle is real and I’m trying to figure out how to balance all of it, but I love my job. I have been an actress since I was a kid and it’s a huge part of me. She’s my number one priority, but this last one that I did, “Crossword mysteries” is my 17th, and it — it’s my first movie though as a mystery on the hallmark movies and mysteries channel which is the sister channel to Hallmark Channel. Brendan Elliott and I are starring and producing in it together. It’s our fifth hallmark movie he’s so wonderful. It’s co-created by will short, “The New York Times” cross word editor and I play a character inspired by him in real life. You cut short the name. You said it’s called “Crossword mysteries,” but it’s called “Crossword mysteries: A puzzle to die for”. Yes. I love that. This isn’t going to kill a cross word for me, is it? No. It’s actually really interesting how they use the cross words and they become part of the crime or how they’re used to solve the mysteries and the first movie is premiering March 10th and we’re getting busy to film more of them. They premiere later this year. We have a clip of this one. You want to check it out? Yeah. All right. Here we are. “Crossword mysteries: A puzzle to die for.” So don’t you see in it’s a puzzle. The puzzle writer is probably trying to send a message to whoever comes looking. Curiosity killed the cat. The world is not a puzzle and everything in it isn’t a clue. Maybe to you it isn’t. Abigail Krebs is clearly just an alias for whoever is writing these puzzle. And the last I checked, puzzle writing wasn’t a crime. Now if you will just excuse me. I love the mystery. Now funny enough, you have been filming with some really tall co-stars. You were with a co-star that’s 6’4″, and 6’7″. How do they keep you in the same shot? Sometimes they don’t. I’m 5’2″. Yeah. Whoa. I wear the tallest heels possible and sometimes that’s still not enough, and they will build a little ramp or standing on an apple box if the shot, you know, is above the waist and they can’t see my feet. We make it work though, you know? Good things come in small packages. They sure do. Thank you. Thank you so much for being Yes, thank you. You’re really lovely. So fetch. And enjoy that baby. Thank you so much. And everyone, check out “Crossword mysteries” on hallmark movies and mysteries which is the sister network to Hallmark Channel. It’s on March 10th at 9:00 P.M.,

"I'm starting to think that Gideon is still too young for this particular kind of trip," said Belle.
 They had been at it for about an hour and a half, hiking from the main camp to what Belle had said would be a better view.  They must be an interesting sight, Rumplestiltskin thought, an older man who was not properly dressed for the ambiance with his long trousers and light button up shirt, accompanying the human ray of sunshine that was Belle, who did seem to have prepared better for this particular side trip they had taken.  Rumplestiltskin smiled thinking about the other times Belle had done something similar, where they had taken a vacation to a specific place only for Belle to notice that there was a point of interest relatively close by.  She never had to coax him too much for them to take the detour.  
 On this particular vacation the plan had been to visit the beaches along the northern shores of Colombia and Venezuela, and then maybe visit some of the national parks located along the mountain range that flanked said beaches.  But on their second day after having arrived in the town of Choroni, Belle had asked to take a flight inland that would drop them in a campground in the middle of the jungle.  Now here they were, on a trek from one campsite to another with a fuzzy three-year-old in their midst.
“Nonsense, He’s just as resilient as you,” Rumplestiltskin said. “He’s just annoyed because he wanted to keep playing in the water of the lagoon.” The camp they had arrived to was sitting by a red-tinted lagoon that made him glad they were making this trip with Gideon, because Rumplestiltskin could see Belle wanting to swim as far as the people there had told them it was safe for her.  With Gideon there, however, she would remain where it’d be safe for him.
“At least we don’t have much further to go; I think he’s also tired of being carried,” Belle replied. “Aren’t you, Gid?”
Rumplestiltskin could hear Gideon mumbling about playing in the water and eating the plantain snacks they had been having since they’d landed on the first plane. “Ah, so He’s hungry.”
“We’re almost there and then I just have to set up, we’ll have a really good view,” Belle said.
Rumplestiltskin still didn’t understand what they were supposed to be getting a good view of.  Belle had said they would go see the tallest waterfall in the world, but there had been some impressive falls right in the lagoon they had been staying by. Rumplestiltskin thought it was good for this place if it held some sort of record, as he imagined it must be some small point of pride for a country that seemed so turbulent as of late, but he was not sure that the view would be worth the detour they had taken from the perfectly nice beach they had been visiting initially.
Suddenly their guide turned around and started speaking to Belle. Rumplestiltskin was always so impressed by how quickly she picked up languages, albeit not surprised.  It was as if she had been made for adventuring and discovering, and Rumplestiltskin would never get tired of his little explorers, for surely Gideon would follow in his mother’s footsteps.
“Rumple, we just have to follow them to the shore,” Belle said.
Rumplestiltskin looked around. It seemed as if the people in this camp had been waiting for them, and they were led to the spot where they could set up whatever it was that Belle had been planning.  They walked a little further, following the people, until they came out from under the cover of the trees.
They had arrived along the edges of a river, although not as big as the ones they had already seen on their way here. Rumplestiltskin heard the rush of the water before he saw it, a mountain wall and water falling over, so tall that it seemed the water was being poured directly from the clouds. The peak of heaven, Rumplestiltskin remembered the song they had heard on their first night in Choroni, also remembering how Belle had translated some of the lines for him and had explained that the music video had been recorded somewhere in the jungle of this country. Was it from that song that she got the idea to come here, he wondered.
“Over here Rumple!”
Belle had kept walking with the group and they were making their way to a spot where people where settling down, Rumplestiltskin caught up to them and sat down on the blanket where Belle had placed Gideon.
“Here, you hold Gideon and I’ll take those bags from you.”
“Alright,” Rumplestiltskin said. “Now what?” he asked.
“Now we’ll be here for about three hours with the group and then the guide will take us back to the camp by the Canaima lagoon,” Belle explained. “You can take Gideon to play in the water while I set this picnic for us.”
Rumplestiltskin looked toward the river and his first instinct told him that getting too close might be a bad idea, but then he noticed that the water didn’t look violent at all despite the noise coming from the massive falls, and that some people were already playing with the water, even if there wasn’t really space to swim.  
“Okay,” Rumplestiltskin said. “But only very quickly for Gideon to cool down.”
Rumplestiltskin set Gideon down, making sure he held his hand very firmly, lest he got too excited and ran off, and accompanied him to the water.  
  A couple minutes had turned into fifteen, during which Gideon had soaked Rumplestiltskin just from a little splashing, but he had had so much fun that Rumplestiltskin couldn’t find it in his heart to be angry. Walking back to the table Rumplestiltskin saw that the picnic was very simple, but he knew they’d enjoy it all the same.  One of the things that he liked the most about Belle’s spirit of adventure was the fact that it gave him the opportunity of learning how to cook new dishes fairly often, and he loved Belle’s delighted smile whenever she saw he’d made something new just for her.
Rumplestiltskin brought Gideon over, dried him down and sat him on his lap. It seemed that Gideon had been seriously hungry, because once he noticed the food there was no need for either Rumple or Belle to coax him to eat, and so he started eagerly.
“So my dear, will you tell me why you took us away from the beach and dropped us smack in the middle of the jungle?” Rumplestiltskin asked, with a humorous timber in his voice. “This sure is impressive,” he continued, “but I think I would have rather stayed under my umbrella.”
Belle laughed at that comment, her eyes sparkling with it, and spoke.
“Well, this is not some random jungle, Rumple, do you remember that time when Ashley and Aurora got together to order some new children’s materials for the library?”
“Right,” Rumplestiltskin remembered Belle taking on that project with the same fervor that she had for everything else in her life, and how the three women had quickly assembled a good entertainment area for the children that would last for a fair amount of time.
“Among the new stuff they found there was this one film about two little adventurers who dreamt with coming to this place their entire lives,” Belle explained. “They actually dreamt with going all the way to the top of the Tepui, but I thought that might be a bit too much for us on this trip.” Belle was smiling with her adorable smile, her eyes going a bit misty, absorbed by the pull of the falls. Rumplestiltskin looked to Gideon on his lap and quietly whispered: “Mommy is lost in her stories again.”
Belle laughed and said: “I’m not lost, I’m just thinking.” She reached across to wipe some food off of Gideon’s chin.
“You saw a children’s film about this place and that made you want to come here?” Rumplestiltskin asked.
“I had forgotten about it until we heard that song a couple days ago at the beach, I asked about it and they told me the video for that song had been filmed around these parts, Angel falls. When they showed it to me it was unmistakable, I could see the scenes in my mind and I felt as if it were really important that we saw it.” Belle said. She kept looking between Rumple and Gideon and the Falls that were still a good distance from them, but felt incredibly close.
Rumplestiltskin realized then that he could feel water particles from time to time, for the water was coming down from such heights that some of it got separated from the main stream and just showered the general area. He looked at Belle and said: “So, a cartoon couple spent their lives wanting to come here, but why did you feel it was important for us to come?”
Belle thought for a moment. “I know they maybe weren’t real, but people in this world say that we’re not real and that our friends are not real… just because this world believes something it doesn’t mean it’s true.  In any case, even if this couple wasn’t real, I like to imagine that somewhere in this land exists a couple who love each other as much as the characters in this film did,” Belle said. “…maybe a pair who was already right here, in Venezuela, who grew old together and who couldn’t imagine their life without the other.”
“A love for all the ages and a floating house” Rumplestiltskin added. “I might have to watch this one with you,” he chuckled, although he couldn’t imagine for a better rest of their lives with Belle and Gideon than what they already had. Rumplestiltskin looked at Belle, adoringly, loving the thoughtful expression of her face when she realized he did know a little something about the film she was referencing.
Belle took a breath in while looking Up to the falls and said: “I just love you and our family so much; you have definitely been my greatest adventure.” She paused to turn to look at him and continued: “I feel that the kind of true love that we have is not all that common in this or in any other world, and so I felt that honoring that kind of love is important, once it is found.” She finished speaking with an air of contentedness.
At that moment Gideon spoke for the first time since he had started eating, repeating his mother’s words as “twue wuv,” and laughing.
Rumplestiltskin chuckled at that and said: “That’s right Gid, twue wuv.” The words were followed by a quick tickle directed at Gideon. He so loved to hear his son’s laughter.
Rumplestiltskin thought for a moment and said: “You know my darling, I’m glad you brought us here. You know I love you and Gideon, on this adventure and all our adventures to come.”
As they finished their meal Rumplestiltskin sat there, with their son in his arms, his wife right next to him and that imposing sensation emanating from the nature around him.  He felt blanketed by the falls in a warm and cozy sort of way, and realized that it was not unlike the feeling of the true love he felt for Belle and his family, only dampened by his absolute certainty that the true love he had was the kind of love that could move a house without magic and place it atop this impossibly tall Tepui.
Y colorín, colorado, este cuento se ha acabado.
A/N: Tepui is the native name for the formations where the falls originate. “Y colorín, colorado, este cuento se ha acabado” is basically a long way of writting “The End.”
