#Ian Lloyd

[singeratlarge]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the British-born mega-talented multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter John Ford. He’s best-known in America for his lead role in their singles “Lay Down” and “Part of The Union” and for the New Wave band The Monks—also look up the band Hudson Ford, who made a string of brilliant albums in the 70s. As a hired gun John has worked with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, Roy Harper, Jimi Hendrix, King Crimson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Steppenwolf, Rick Wakeman, Frank Zappa, and many others, and in recent years he’s collaborated with Ian Lloyd of Stories. I’ve become of fan of every recording I’ve heard that John was involved in, and for years I’ve been taken with his song “Heavy Disguise,” a song for when politics encroach on people of faith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JI5r_8AbKs The lyrics came from his observations while attending political meetings, a bit bittersweet but forthtelling, and with a jovial set of chords and melody. I heard the song when it was new (on the Strawbs GRAVE NEW WORLD LP). I always enjoyed singing it, but I couldn’t master the guitar part until recently, so here it is, live in our parlor. Meanwhile, HB JF and thank you for your years of fantastic giving of your talents.

Ultimately, the reason Cats (2019) didn’t work is that it never took itself seriously.

You may say “well, how could they possibly do that? The premise is ridiculous.”

Yes, the premise is ridiculous. But the show didn’t earn (at one point) the honor of “longest running show on Broadway” by simply being ridiculous.

People singing and dancing, dressed as cats, only works by suspension of disbelief.

You can’t suspend disbelief if the narrative isn’t trying to take itself seriously.

Will everyone enjoy the show, even when done right? No. There is, thus far, nothing everyone enjoys. We’re all different that way.

But this

Is not taking itself seriously.

They look more anatomically accurate and cost much more money to make, but that’s how they come across as less convincing.

Having the physical attributes. The exaggerated features to play off of is INVALUABLE to a Cats performer and their performance.

Cats (2019) doesn’t try too hard for feline mannerisms, but when they do, it doesn’t work. Why? Because there’s nothing actually there to play off of except imagination.

Imagination is a powerful thing, yes, but practical makeup, costumes, and effects are very useful. CGI is more beneficial when trying to create fully fictional or dangerous to film in landscapes. The ocean, an asteroid field, etc.

While humanoid cats aren’t a real thing, they have been created with practical means on stage for decades.

You can stack a cast until they reach the moon. You could have the absolutely most talented singers, dancers, and actors. It will all be meaningless if the overall production is not being taken seriously. Individual actors taking the project entirely seriously (Ian, Judi, etc.) will not make up for others (editing, effects, producers, etc.) not doing the same.

This absolutely goes for anything, with or without a ridiculous premise.

Gonna make a list of characters that are so painfully little coded everything in my brain just goes “baby” whenever I watch them. Plus one caregiver. (And one real dude which feels kinda rude since he’s just like. A guy. Living his life. So you can ignore that one. But I wanted to point it out.)

Lloyd from Lego ninjago. Dude. Canon family trauma + canon forced to end his childhood early. Prime agere material. There are so many good fics of little Lloyd just littling. He’s tiny boi. So baby. So perfect.

Cole from Lego ninjago. He is. So caregiver built. I think it hurts to watch sometimes. So gentle so sweet. Get this man a child or a little or something to care for I swear. He just needs to parent. It’s in his blood and carved into his bones.

Branch from trolls. Ya’ll did you watch movie 3? The family trauma times two. The way he uses a pacifier to lock in. Someone was straight up weaving that into the fabric of his being as a character. He’s not little coded he’s little written. Plus in the show he has a little stuffie named Croco and I love that for him. There’s also some good agere Branch fics, but not enough. I need more. Pwease. He is so smol and so grumpy just everyone write him as the baby boi he deserves to be I beg.

Spider-Man but specifically for ultimate Spider-Man (btw if anyone’s looking for good regression shows and you fall around like 5-10 it’s a very good show because it’s long and has a good mix of humor and that show is my jam dude when I’m big and little). But anyone. Ultimate Spider-Mans Spider-Man is so stressed all of the time. He is just a teen. And he’s handling so many unruly teens. And in the later seasons when he’s handling the entirety of shield while being worried about nova. Give the boy a break and let someone take care of him. He’s both little and caregiver coded btw. I adore the fics where everyone calls him daddy longlegs because that is straight up what the last season is. Just him being a father to all these troubled ass powered teenagers while being so troubled himself. But then he’s also so little. He pouts and needs so much love and he’s scared all of the time and he is traumatized and then that one ep where that got turned into those weird chibi things the show tried to convince us were children I want to believe awakened something in him and he is now little sometimes.

Ian Hecox. Listen. I am aware that he is just a dude. Like a real guy. Who cannot be coded because he just exists. But I see. So much of myself in him. It kind of makes a part of my heart hurt that no one like every really seriously criticizes his more childish behavior (even for the bit on a YouTube video) because it makes me feel better about the small ways I slip in public or with my friends sometimes. There’s literally “everyone babying Ian hecox” comps online. His habit of saying scawed or newvous is unironically a blessing and curse since now all my friends who also watch Smosh do it so it’s not weird if I do it but then sometimes I have to pause and be like “is this for the bit or am I slipping right now. Both? Neither?” That one tntl (#91) where they did the blind pairs (btw one of the funniest ones ever in my opinion absolute hall of famer, the fish one, burning the pool, m’lei, all incredible bits. It’s like. The video I show people to try to get them into Smosh.) and Ian puts on overalls and walks out with an Elmo and is like “I’m five” and then after the bit is over he stays in character and when he’s like “elmo…” and damien is like “yeah bud I made sure to miss him with the spit” and then Ian drags the toy through he spit and everyone in the room is just like “aww man” like everyone is truly just like Ian dude you got your stuffed animal wet. Also Anthony being able to fully pick Ian up and carry him multiple ways. If you watch the behind the scenes for the my best friend is dead video Anthony 1. Is pumped to pick Ian up. 2. Does a baby cradle with Ian more than successfully. 3. Says “I got you bud” when Ian gets nervous and Ian goes “ok” in this tiny little voice and instantly relaxes. 4. When Anthony puts Ian down Ian follows him making grabby hands and says “I want uppies”. More little Ian caregiver Anthony fics when. Except not really because again don’t really want to put any of this on real people just doing comedic bits that I happen to feel in my soul a bit too much.

And finally, Max thunderman. I mean. Just watch the show. The pouts. The frequent fake sobbing and sniffling. The fact that he needs a childhood back after Phoebe was put on a pedestal. Someone give me soft thundertwins fic where max is a little and Phoebe is a cargegiver please I need it. And I am. So bad at writing. I would love you forever and ever if you did.

The Face of Darkness (Ian F.H. Lloyd, 1976)

[echo-lore]

Okay Au idea

What if Kai and Nya are the descendent of the Firstbourne who kindly asked them if they could follow her dearest friend (FSM) to protect him?

So Kai just becomes one of the protectors of Ninjago but more specifically the protector of FSM and those he considers family. He becomes the free nanny to Garmadon and Wu and becomes kind of an older brother/father figure to wu and Garmadon respectively (mostly cause I feel like FSM wasn’t that present, when he was present, he was great, but he wasnt always there. He is literally god after all)

Nya is more like an chaotic older sister/ wine aunt who does doble duty as their history sensei/teacher when FSM can’t.

Idk how the whole fire/water master would work cause I feel like the siblings would be protective of their elements and would only let certain people know how to control it, something that the FSM respects and doesn’t force them to teach any new elemental masters of fire and water. He does on the hand ask them to also take care of the elemental masters and fight along side them when their preferred elements are needed.

They would agree and they honestly don’t mind their duties and once Garmadon and Wu grew older and didn’t need them as often, they embark on their own journeys across the land of Ninjago. Until the whole elemental war thing happens and they try their hardest to help but it’s hard to help and protect when the people your suppose to be protecting are fighting each other. (Also garmadon still gets bit by the devour because no matter what au his in the fates still have it out for him)

I feel like they divide the siblings, one century Kai will take of Wu and Nya will take care of Garmadon while the next it’s reverse, Kai taking care of Garmadon and Nya taking care of Wu. It goes on like this for a while and when Lloyd comes into the pictures it’s Kai turn to take care of Garmadon (which lead to just taking care of his descendants when he got banished, something that Kai still kinda holds against Wu, even thought he understands why he did it)

They hide and learn to shapeshift so to the rest of the ninja Nya is just Sensei Wu daughter who comes along for the ride (which Wu teases her about relentlessly). Nya just smiles thought the pain of being older than everyone currently around her and still having to act like she knows nothing (mostly for safety, people might not actively hunt dragons in this world but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t start once they know they exist).

But Nya gets to act like 14 or 15, Kai on the other hand, needs to act like a 5 year old villain want to be to fit in at Lloyd’s school which to this day he curses Nya for her competence and paranoia
