random question but top ten munkustraps….

I’M GLAD YOU ASKED-

I’m gonna assume you mean actors and if not sorry lol :3

1. Michael Gruber

He is THE Munkustrap in my eyes. No questions asked. No statement needed :3

2. Nicolas Hagelin

(I went on a scavenger hunt tryna find a good photo of this man omfg)

I’m the tiniest bit biased cuz I saw him live twice but whateves. I really like his voice, it’s so soft. Also his arm warmers make him look like a bear to me.

3. Ivan Ozhogin

Listening to him sing “Old Deuteronomy” changed me as a person. I will never be the same. (In a good way tho.) Also peak costume design his makeup is awesome.

4. Bryan Batt

I’m being 100% biased here the only reason I like him is because he’s also from Louisiana.

5. Steve Barton

Again PEAK character design omfg I love Vienna Munkustrap. Even though I barely understand German I love listening to him sing.

6. Paul Hadobas

Zurich Munkustrap. He’s so goddamn sassy omg. (I mean, so is every Munkustrap but he’s just a whole different level.) Also listening to him sing “Old Deuteronomy” was a treat. Especially since it was a different version of a song.

7. Jack Rebaldi

Multilingual king I wanna be just like him. Also I like when he sticks his tongue out, idk I think it’s hilarious.

8. Callum Train

Yet another Munkustrap with the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my goddamn life omg what are they feeding y’all?????

9. John Partridge

Damn what CAN’T this man do????

10. Andy Huntington Jones

Listen I just love him man I can’t explain it HES SO CUTE TO ME :(((((

Introducing: The Cast of To Give Up the Ghost!

There will be a few minor characters that pop up as well, and few of these characters will make it through unchanged, so keep an eye out as the story progresses!

Additional details under the cut~!

Legend:

White*: Main Characters

Grey*: Antagonists

Blue: Secondary Characters

Green: Tertiary Characters

Mentioned: Stock characters

*I did not choose white/grey bc "white good black bad," but because this is a white-gen story. Makes sense for the main characters to match the color of their gen, right?

To be clear: A few of these characters fit multiple of these legend assignments, but to maintain my sanity and to keep from confusing anyone, I just gave them the one that felt more important to the character.

Six of these character cards will change at least once throughout the story! With one potential change, depending how motivated I feel to do that.

Q: “Actually, I was going to ask you about your career before [The Monkees].” Peter Tork: “Oh, I was a folk singer. Before that I was in school, and before that I was in the bosom of my family. I was in New York singing folk songs on the Greenwich Village stages.” [see early 1960s for more about Peter's Village days] Q: “How did you end up going out to California?” PT: “‘37 Chevy. Broke down outside of Las Vegas. When it started to belch brown water out of the tail pipe I knew it was all over. We hitch hiked the rest of the way. I had a lady friend waiting for me, I thought. Turned out I was far more threatening in the flesh than at a calm, safe distance, so that didn’t last long. But she connected me to with the Golden Bear Cafe in Huntington Beach, where I got a job washing dishes. I did some work accompanying Steve Stills when he was with Ron Long and the Buffalo Fish. I accompanied this black trio called the [Apollas], on the stand-up string bass.” Q: “Did you go out there looking for an acting career, a singing career, or both?” PT: “No, actually I thought the world should make a place for dishwashers and people who jerk beers. No, I always thought I was gonna be an entertainer, I think. I think I thought. Acting was not out of that realm. I had no idea I was gonna break loose; that was out of the blue. “ Q: “If the Monkees gig hadn’t come along, do you think you would’ve kept playing folk music?” PT: “No, I would have gone to rock in short order. The Beatles were coming along and that was a thrill. I would have put down that acoustic guitar long since, anyway. I often wonder about that. Where would I be had I not joined the Monkees? But I think, all told, it would’ve been just the same. I think I would’ve been more consistent than I am now but the overall effect would’ve been about the same.” - Goldmine, May 1982

[crippleprophet]

hey, i don't want to put you out or anything, i was just wondering if like off the top of your head if you knew any disability studies articles/books/whatever that center (or even just feature) tic/involuntary movement disorders?

so the answer to this was pretty much no but i spent a bit of time poking around and turned up this 2023 undergraduate honors thesis (link) by a student with tourette’s which seems like a solid starting point for going down the citation rabbit hole!

that piece is “The Embodied Performance of Tics and Tourette Syndrome in the Academic Environment” by Benjamin Allen; i’m only ~1/4th through rn but they argue for a continuum of ticcing + criticize the diagnostic system so i’m comfortable reccing it on that front! the (non-medical) tic-related works cited there are:

Buckser, Andrew. “Before Your Very Eyes: Illness, Agency, and the Management of Tourette Syndrome.” Medical Anthropology Quarterly, vol. 22, no. 2, 2008, pp. 167-192.

Buckser, Andrew. “The Empty Gesture: Tourette Syndrome and the Semantic Dimension of Illness.” Ethnology, vol. 45, no. 4, 2006, pp. 255- 24. https://www.jstor.org/stable/20456601.

Curtis-Wendlandt, Lisa. “Time and the Tic Disorder Triad.” Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology, vol 27, no. 2, 2020, pp. 183-199.

Curtis-Wendlandt, Lisa, and Jack Reynolds. “Why Tourette syndrome research needs philosophical phenomenology.” Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, vol. 20, no. 4, 2021, pp. 573-600.

Miller, James. “The Voice in Tourette Syndrome.” New Literary History, vol. 32 no. 3, 2001, pp. 519-536. Project MUSE, doi:10.1353/nlh.2001.0039.

Trubody, Ben. “Ticced off: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of The Experience of Tourette’s Syndrome.” Journal of the Society for Existential Analysis, vol. 25, no. 2, 2014.

i also searched a handful of disability studies journals for a variety of keywords (movement disorder, tic, tourette’s, involuntary movement, chorea, huntington’s) but didn’t turn up much unfortunately, so all but the first of this next list include someone with tics and/or involuntary movements rather than being about moving involuntarily.

haven’t read these so i can’t speak to the politics / quality (although i’ll make a post if i’m able to read more) but here’s what seemed potentially relevant! also if anything is paywalled please don’t give T&F your money lol, try SciHub or if you can’t find something i can ask around for somebody with institutional access!

Cultural Differences in Reactions to Tics and Tic Severity (2021)

Using virtual reality to implement disability studies’ advocacy principles: uncovering the perspectives of people with disability (2023)

I had every right to be there: discriminatory acts towards young people with disabilities on public transport (2020)

From comedy targets to comedy-makers: disability and comedy in live performance (2015)

From the Case Files: Reconstructing a history of involuntary sterilisation (2010)

i also want to mention “Movements of the Uncontrollable Body Part Two” by Bronwyn Valentine (2019), a creative writing piece about her experiences of embodiment + ableism with spina bifida that i first read pretty soon after it was published & went looking for after developing my movement disorder a year ago because it was so impactful. @fndportal also has some incredibly vital work.

also if you haven’t already read Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s Staring: Why We Look, it’s not specifically about involuntary movements but definitely a core text for theorizing any visibilized disability.

i hope some of that is helpful!! if anybody checks any of these out i’d love to hear your thoughts/critiques! all the best to you & i hope these offer some resonance with + understanding of your experiences 💓💓

[cassandra had go to the restroom and since malcolm was there, she asked him to play while she was gone]

[malcolm felt a strange sensation while he played for his sister do dance. of course to the other girls, too. however frances was special]

[a memory came to mind. one day that he was late for school and nancy scolded him and he told her about his bastard sister... how much his life has changed since then. how much he changed]

[memory:

Malcolm: well, you and my Father had Keaton. So, maybe he can be the next heir? Or... even better... that bastard child you had with that himbo? Dad just forgave you because god knows why, but he actually loves you?]

Need a tier list of Munks (I know there's one for Mistos)

So I was just thinking about a Tier List ranking for Mistos that I've seen out there, and now I'm wondering if someone did one for the various Munks (and they better have Gruber's Munk in S-tier at least). By the way, I was looking at the list of Munk actors on the Cats wiki, and I did NOT know that Geoffrey Garratt had played Munkustrap as well (back in 1992, apparently. Well now I need to see what HIS Munk was like now. Hand over the bootleg, please.

What other Munks would you put in a tier list and where would you rank them? Other Munks I can think of:

S Tier (absolute creme de la creme, my fave takes on the "Courageous, Imposing, Energetic" words): Michael Gruber (as hinted before), Steve Barton, Jack Rebaldi (I think you spell it like that? He's Madrid 2004 Munk), Alexander Auler

A Tier (not my absolute faves, but still got the character in a way I still love): Andy Huntington-Jones (2016 Revival), Robbie Fairchild (yes I'm including 2019 Munk, aka the man who launched a thousand Munkoff fics.), Paul Hadobas (Zurich 1991/2)

B Tier (I like them well enough, but don't capture Munk the way I prefer, for example maybe imposing but not very energetic, and so on): Darryl Robinson (1989 Vienna), Matthew Pike (the cover Munk in the Hamburg 1999 bootleg) (He's just too...mellow, for me. I need some energy here!)

I honestly can't think of any Munk that I'd rank below B tier (all Munks are good Munks to me, from what I've seen so far, I guess). What are others' thoughts?

Jack Hyatt - Huntington Beach, CA posted this as a response on a DM article about Markle

‘I've been a street cop here in Los Angeles for over twenty years and have had to work on many Hollywood red carpet events here on overtime assignments and have met many celebrities over the years and most of the celebrities are polite and easy to deal with but Megan Markle is an extreme narcissist. I've seen first hand how she behaves behind closed doors at one particular rewards show but poor Harry has become a cuckold and she'll eventually leave him too when she tires of him and wants out because she's gotten everything she can from him and there's nothing left to gain. It's not whether she'll leave but when? Meagain only cares about one person in this world and that's herself and only herself that age cares about. Period.’

DC AU - Bruce the Burdened

You know, I wonder how Bruce would've turned out if his parents never died. And if he himself hadn't died like that one universe where Thomas became Batman & Martha became the Joker.

Which, I have thoughts on.

But that's for later.

Generally, I think that he would've just been Bruce from the Animated Series, but with only small hints of Batman in there every once in a while.

Like, he's Bruce, but not the oblivious, idiot Brucie Bruce. More so the Bruce from the animated series but with Batman's innate competence. Because Batman wouldn't exist, at least not yet, he doesn't need to distance himself from it, so he's free to be as intelligent as he truly is.

Now, this is the product of my Legacy 2 idea, which you can find here:

You will have to read the link if you actually wanna understand where I'm coming from here.

But anyway, the idea is that instead of becoming Batman, he sorta becomes a warden of Gotham. He learns the apotropaic magics of his family like he was always meant to & maintains the seals & wards like the Waynes who came before him. He sort of becomes a magic user/supernatural hunter.

However, that doesn't stop all of the problems that continue to show itself in the Batman continuity. Like, the villains might not be the same as in the original.

For one, there's no Joker because there's no Batman.

There's also the fact that Mrs. Fries didn't get Huntington's Chorea, her husband did. So, we get Mrs. Freeze instead.

Harley & Bruce become besties, even date for a bit, but even after breaking it off, they stay besties.

Keep in mind that the Batman Rogues Gallery is still out there basically in tact, just without Batman, so Bruce sees what's happening with his home & comes to the conclusion that he can't just work from the shadows anymore. So, as a teenager, he runs away from home & goes on the same training journey as in canon, but this time, the fuel isn't to avenge, but to save.

As such, when he comes back, he becomes the Nightengale in honor of his ancestry.

He has more of a focus on magic, but that doesn't stop his use of gadgets. Even inventing a sort of magi-tech.

Either way, he's a much more lighthearted hero here. Like, he's still dark & brooding, but not as much as in canon. He actually smiles every once in a while.

Then, he begins collecting kids, but he's got his parents to help him along the way. When Jason comes along, Thomas tells Bruce outright that he shouldn't just give the name Robin to the boy without Dick's permission. It's his title, given to him by his mother. That Bruce has no right to take that from him. So, Jason goes by the name Cardinal because they symbolize strength, courage, & loyalty. However, there is a secondary symbolism that comes in later.

If the guy who became Joker still becomes a villain, it won't be because of Bruce. So, it won't be Joker & more than likely, he'll stick with og Red Hood.

If dude gets as bad as Joker it'll be due to his own choices.

However, if Red Hood ends up killing Jason, then, due to Bruce not having been traumatized at such a young age, he won't even hesitate.

That's the last the world sees of Red Hood, period. Whether it was by the Nightengale's own hands or by him simply turning a blind eye when Nightwing did it to avenge Jason is entirely up to the writer.

At the same time, because of the presence of his parents, he's able to understand shit better & the name on the headstone is written Jason Todd-Wayne.

However, because Robin is not just a symbol here, Tim has to choose his own name too.

When Jason comes back, his vigilante name comes with an entirely new meaning because it's said that when you see a cardinal, it means that the spirit of a dead loved one has come to visit. This one just happened to be very angry & aggressive.

I also feel like due to Bruce being more well-adjusted, he'd have managed to get into a legitimately steady relationship with Selena. Even married. He doesn't try to make her stop stealing, but he does ask for a compromise. Only steal from master criminals &, if she can manage, why not help him to expose their dirty dealings. After all, what better whetstone to sharpen her skills with?

Selena finds that... Yes, that is very much acceptable.

Talia still steals Bruce's DNA to create Damien & when he shows up, it creates turmoil between Bruce & Selena.
