“Snow days are a special kind of magic.”
- KISS HER ONCE FOR ME by Alison Cochrun
The protagonist of KISS HER ONCE FOR ME is Ellie Oliver, an animator out of a job whose star-crossed encounter with Jack Kim-Prescott results in an unexpected webcomic hit titled “Snow Day.” When Alison Cochrun, author of THE CHARM OFFENSIVE, reached out to me to ask me to sit in Ellie’s seat and put images to Alison’s opening pages, she didn’t have to ask twice! The book is hilarious and tender, and I can’t wait for everyone else to fall in love with it this holiday season. 💕
You can get a printed copy of this comic by preordering KISS HER ONCE FOR ME from East City BookShop and filling out Alison’s Pre-order campaign form. (You’ll also get the PDF bonus holiday chapter of THE CHARM OFFENSIVE!) KHOFM will be released in the USA on November 1st!

If you had the opportunity to have some voice actors casted for your iterations of Lois, Clark, Jimmy, Connor, Lex, Livewire, Rudy, and Brainiac (Basically the superman characters you've remixed so far) who would be perfect casting for each?
OOH YES here's some fancasts for my remix:
David Corenswet as Clark Kent! This is a really hard pick for me, I'm attached to Tim Daly's STAS voice for him but if I had to pick someone younger I guess this David Corenswet guy from the upcoming film looks pretty good? At least from clips I've seen of him he's got a good voice.
Brianne Tju as Lois Liando! She's a Chinese Indonesian actress and while she's young I think she's got the range. I'd love to see her twist on Dana Delaney's STAS performance because Delaney's got a fantastic hardened sassy woman voice. Tju's voice sounds great in this interview.
Haley Tju as Lucy Lane! Brianne has a sister which is PERFECT for Lois' sister Lucy! I heard Hayley's voice in Arlo the Alligator Boy as the tiger cat character and I think she sounds neat.
Michael J Woodard as Jimmy Olsen! Similarly as Haley I heard Woodard's voice on Arlo the Alligator Boy, he's the lead there as Arlo. His voice is high energy and fun! Plus he can SING which is great because I imagine Jimmy as a jack of all trades artist and shenanigans coupled with musical numbers would be perfection.
Dave Fennoy as Lex Luthor! This is locked and loaded for me. It frustrates me that no one has seen the vision here. This is the second coming of STAS Lex but BETTER. Just!! Listen to him as Bluebeard from the Wolf Among Us. This is phenomenal, the perfect voice already exists.
Toks Olagundoye as Lena Luthor! She's voiced Martha Wayne in Batman Unburied, and Cat Grant in Reign of Supermen among many roles. She'd bring the elegance Lena would need. I love her accent,,,
Donald Glover as Conner Kent/Luthor! Granted I would love a teen that can bring what he brought to Marshall Lee on Adventure Time but that performance is the Conner energy I want.
Gr33dyjay/Jhas Ean Prescott Corbitt as Rudy Jones/Parasite! While I love the Brion James' STAS voice for Parasite, I have become attached to Gr33dyjay's take on my version of Parasite. If you can bring a performance that can make me laugh like that, you're golden. If he brought just a bit of New York accent into it, even better.
ProZD/Sungwon Cho and Ellen McLain as Brainiac! I want these two to talk interchangeably and in synchronization for Brainiac. Cho serving Brau1589 realness and McLain bringing the GlaDOS good stuff. Heaven would open its gates if we ever heard a Brainiac voice like this, I believe that.
Nicole Sullivan as Livewire! This one is so, so difficult because the original Lori Petty voice for Livewire is essentially perfection. I think future takes need to find a distinct and youtuber bombastic charismatic voice for making a potentially unlikeable character fun to watch. Sullivan famously voices Shego on Kim Possible, and I think her voice has the uniqueness and sass that could revitalize Livewire. She just needs to do a version of the accent and energy.
AJ Michalka as Kara Zor El! I know Michalka's voice as Stevonnie on Steven Universe and Catra from She-Ra. I like her performance in both, it stands out and the lil rasp in her voice adds something. That gives Kara that kind of jaded world weary but still young voice. I know I haven't drawn Supergirl yet, but I've got plans.
Thanks for this ask! While I'm not familiar with tinsel town people in general, this was like a fun scavenger hunt, haha.

RULES:
All fictional women from a category will be randomized, and put into polls
Whoever gets 50 votes automatically proceeds into the next round. There won't be only one winner for each poll!
We will do one category at the time. We'll start with books.
We'll decide on a winner of each category, and then whoever had the most votes, will proceed into the Final 10.
I'll calculate how many votes each woman got, so that at the end of the voting, you can see how many other women also adored your favourite ones :)
This also means that once you vote, if there's someone else you also want to see in the finals, you can reblog and let your followers know who already has enough votes, and who needs more in order to proceed. I'll also sometimes reblog polls announcing that a certain character has made the cut, and now others need your attention. We're trying to see which ones are loved and adored enough to actually get a lot of votes, even with competition. The voting starts at the end of nominations!

requesting rules and information
hello all and welcome to my requesting rules and guidelines post! i wanted to put this information out there in a place that was easy to access and all up-to-date to make for a fun and safe space for everyone to enjoy!
as mentioned in my about me post, i am a uni student and so there may be periods of inactivity or when my requests are closed for longer than usual, but please do not be alarmed i will be returning and your posts will be answered. so with that in mind it would be very much apprciated if you could not spam my ask box with the same request over and over again, or chasing up a request; if it has been requested it will be on my list and i will get to it so long as it does not ask something of me which i have stated i will not be writing. HOWEVER if i am active and your request did not ask me to write anything i stated in my boundaries post that i would not write and it has been a while since you sent it in there is a chance that it may have gotten lost so it is okay if you send me a message or request it again!
if requests are closed i would appreciate it if you would refrain from sending any requests in as i will not see them and they may get lost if too many are sent in when i am away. this would also make it difficult for me to get on top of posting again when i return from my breaks! when requests are open or closed will be noted in my biography!!
below are the characters and fandoms i write for, however, if there is someone not listed below you can request for them as chances are i will have heard of them but may not be the biggest fan of the show/movie/book but i will do my best and otherwise i will let you know! if a character below is crossed out then it just means i am taking a break from writing for thme for now, just to keep things interesting and so i am not always writing for the same person so, check back often as this may change!

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐓
aka bios are coming slow and this is selena’s solution. below the cut you’ll find a brief summary of each of my muses, their age, gender, orientation, etc.; everything you need to know to get a general idea of who they are if you’re not familiar with them already and see if anyone sparks your interest. thank you for reading!
DEBBIE LOOMIS: ex-wife to a cheating husband and ex-mother to a deceased son who turned to murder after she left home and never looked back. her resentment toward her failing marriage, grief over the loss of her son and rage over the women responsible ( in her mind ) for it all turned her down a path of serial murder with one goal in sight: kill sidney prescott. ( mid-40s, cis female, heterosexual ).
GALE WEATHERS: a local reporter with unmatched ambition that borderlines on ruthlessness. she’s not particularly well-received among some of the woodsboro community due to her cutthroat nature toward covering the news but that doesn’t stop her from doing whatever it takes to get the facts and the story. ( 28 - 50s, cis female, tbd ).
KIM POSSIBLE: just your basic, average girl who just so happens to save the world between cheer practice, babysitting jobs, school and maintaining a social life. fighting evil day after day is no big, but acing cheer regionals, getting hard-headed teachers off your back or securing a date to the school dance can be so the drama sometimes. ( 15 - 18, cis female, bisexual ).
SIDNEY PRESCOTT: a woman doomed to a life of trauma and survival, with a spine of steel and a heart of gold. sidney was forced to grow up at a young age when forced to deal with the loss of her mother at the hands of a murderer; from there things seemed to steadily spiral as she became the unwitting ‘final girl’ in what has been four separate murder sprees to-date. she always comes out of it alive, but at what cost? ( 16 - 45, cis female, lesbian ).
TREE GELBMAN: resident campus party girl and sorority alpha bitch turned murder victim... again, and again, and again. dying and reliving the same day on loop forces her to face the person she is, the people she’s hurt, and the grief she’s buried for three years and refused to acknowledge until she’s been forced to stare death in the face more times than she can count. oh yeah, she also has to figure out who keeps killing her, before she ends up staying dead. ( 21, cis female, bisexual ).
ADIRIS: the youngest of seven left on the steps of a temple at the age of five, adiris held onto the belief that the gods had a greater purpose for her. she spent the years that followed in quiet servitude, working her way up to assisting high priests when she came of age. when a great plague began to ravage the people of babylonia and the priests were no longer able to serve, she donned the title of high priestess and persisted to serve her people through purification rituals, doing her best to hide that the plague was slowly eating away at her body. when she isolated in the mountains with a few devoted followers and prayed for salvation, a fog began to engulf her and she sacrificed herself to the god behind it in an effort to save the people of babylonia. while her body was never recovered from the mountains, she continues to live on in a new realm, where she sacrifices unknowing survivors to the entity, the god she believes she was born to serve. ( eternally 20, cis female, asexual ).
AMY ROSE: a spunky hedgehog with a huge heart for her friends and an even bigger temper that you don’t want to trigger; more often than not, she’s helping clean up her friend sonic’s messes, but always enjoys the adventures he leads their friends on. ( idk dude she’s a cartoon hedgehog and I only write her bc of jack so ).
ÉLODIE RAKOTO: a young woman desperate to solve the mystery of her parents’ disappearance, élodie is every bit an adventuring spirit, finding it more lucrative to learn and discover by doing than observing. she works as an occult investigator, something that lands her in dangerous situations more often than not, but experience coupled with her sharp wit and resourcefulness ensures she worms her way out of every trap she can; even those that seem to have no end. ( 29, cis female, pansexual ).
LYDIA DEETZ: obsessed with death following the loss of her mother, lydia, more than anything, wants to talk about and process her grief: something her father is hell-bent on avoiding at all costs. when they move into a new home and he announces his engagement to the life coach he hired, she turns to the two ghosts and the demon she’s befriended for help, not knowing what consequences lurk around the corner for her. ( 15, cis female, tbd ).
JUNO MONTGOMERY: a pretty average person living pretty average life working at a pizzeria in downtown los angeles with the hopes of hitting it big --- if only studios would stop throwing her scripts in the reject pile. aside from dealing with pain-in-the-ass landlords, entitled customers and a mountain of debt courtesy of film school, life isn’t too bad. just painfully average. ( 25, cis female, tbd ).
NATALIA MARTINEZ: a homicide detective with a knack for seeing ghosts and communicating with the dead, thanks to a traumatic brain injury from a work-related gunshot wound to the head she miraculously survived. investigating murders is nothing new for her, but dealing with souls that can’t pass over until everything is set right is something else entirely. ( 42, cis female, lesbian ).
NICK ROBERTSON: lifelong best friend to jordan riley and a huge basketball enthusiast; hence why he’s played since he could hold a ball and rode that train all the way to a major in sports medicine at rothfield university. once graduation day comes, he and jordan plan to start their respective careers in sunny, sunny california --- they just have to survive a murder spree first. ( 21, cis male, tbd ).
PENELOPE DUSEK: an immortal witch with a special talent for all things related and connected to the dead, including reanimation --- with some fine print attached to that particular skill. by day, she’s your pleasant local baker, making the best homemade pies in the county and catering weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs and retirements alike, and by night, she’s escorting souls of the recently departed into the afterlife. you know, hot girl shit. ( 674, cis female, pansexual ).

Any desires for costumes particular students will wear for halloween? Cade would be pretty hot as a werewolf
Ooh !! What a fun question, Greyface. Cade as a werewolf is definitely fitting, I agree. Something tells me he’s got a good howl in him somewhere. If you don’t mind, I’m going to put this in list format to make it easier on myself.
Jackson KingHa, easy. Invisible Man or Where’s Waldo. I would literally pay him to give me this. How much will it take, Jackie ??
Kenzie Horton Wonder Woman, perhaps ?? She’s strong and moraled enough to be her. Someone to look up to.
Balo Driskell Anything cute and fuzzy related, like a mouse or kitty. It’s Balo, you know she’s going to do something animal related, and probably with whiskers.
Maxi StephensA cactus, because he’s so dry.
Logan KellerI’d love to see him embrace The Toad.
Harley SilvaLittle Red Riding Hood. The red would compliment her nicely and she seems so innocent but good.
Teddy MartinezGenie in the Lamp, possibly. I see him being one of those guys that would want his costume to do the talking.
Isaac King A court Jester, just to knock his ass down a peg or two. Plus, he’d look cute in their hats.
Maia CroftDottie Hinson from A League of Their Own. She’s got the legs for that cute little baseball skirt and it’s sporty, just like her.
Isak Valtersen Forky, from Toy Story 4. They’re both ridiculously adorable somehow but I can’t put my finger on why.
Colin Rook Charlie Brown. I mean, really. He’s as nervous/anxious and mildly depressive as him.
Thomas Scheffer A scarecrow or Jack Skellington, toss up to which. Both would suit that deathly pale, thin body look.
Ronan Burke An airplane pilot. He seems like he’d really enjoy the irony of a good joke.
Madeline Ward Winnifred Sanderson, the best and most craftiest witch there is. She wouldn’t even have to dye her hair !!
Harry Hart Ghostface from the Scream series because he pops in when you least expect.
Autumn McNealShe’d make an adorable Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Not a sexy version, either. It should definitely be the original blue outfit or possibly the yellow ballgown if she wants to carry that skirt around.
Janie HallI feel like she’s go as something cute but innocent, like a Bumblebee.
Alek Addington I’m thinking Poison Ivy. It’d suit for how she’s so bubbly and engaging, but isn’t the best influence on you, either. Perfect combo, no ??
Lucy Beaumont-Peters Oh come on, if she doesn’t go as Cher from Clueless, the world has experienced a great injustice.
Clarissa Carmichael How about Elvira, Mistress of the Dark ?? Push her as far out of her comfort zone as possible, on that one. Or a pumpkin, because she’s as interesting as one.
Elise St. James The Nun. I get the feeling she’s a real fan of black, so it’d compliment her soul. Or lack of one…
Lia Davenport Sally, the rag doll from Nightmare Before Christmas. Does she not give you those same melancholy vibes ?? And just seems so lost.
Hazel DavenportA female sexy Beetlejuice. She could definitely pull off those stripes and some green streaks would compliment that hair.
Mary MclearyA female Chucky version, maybe. That would be funny to see.
Avery WoodsMaleficent !! She has the perfect features and hair for it.
Ian Kim He definitely needs to be David S. Pumpkins. I will accept nothing less. The people have spoken, Ian.
Asher Prescott A pirate, since he’s such a heart plunderer. Plus, he would look hot and dangerous with an eye patch and fake gun.
Veronica Henderson I know you’re expecting me to say a literal wet blanket but, no. I’m thinking Frank N. Furter ?? Might make her open up more, gain some confidence in herself and what she’s working with because trust me, she’s got goods.
Ches Elswood It, the Clown version but sexy. She’s about the only person I think could actually pull this off and do so very well. I’m dying to see a good clown costume and she’d deliver all the frills.
DP Prescott Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. Girl must have some sort of screw loose and her attachment to that Maxi kid is about as bad as Harley’s attachment is to The Joker. And, of course, hot.
Blake Sinclair That dude from Baywatch. He would probably love the chance to walk around half-naked and flexing those muscles. Surf’s up, dude !!
Adrian Knox How about a walking penis ?? I bet he’d enjoy being such a smartass and use it as a conversation topic.
Raina Ainsworth She gives me a very Tinkerbell vibe because she’s delicate and yet somehow tough ?? I could see her pulling off that sexy green dress, too.
Charlie Kingery Wouldn’t she make the cutest Ladybug ?? That would be so adorable. No real reason other than she’s cute, the costume is cute.
Nolan Sugg Hmm. I don’t know much about this youngster yet but I’m going to say Donald Duck. He’s loud and abrasive, but I never said that was a bad thing.
Lorenzo Russio Kenicke from Grease. Best Greaser there is and all the charm and charisma of one, too. And let’s be frank, him in a leather jacket is bound to be eye candy gold.
Pietro Carrington Michael Myers. I mean, what else did you expect ??
Savoy MortcombeWe could always use a good Dracula around these parts. He’s tall, dark, and handsome. He’ll pull it off well. Or Frankenstein works too.
Sasha BowmanPrincess Jasmine from Aladdin. She’s got that ‘I’m a strong woman’ attitude and will stand up for her principles. I vote she goes for the cartoon costume version, as that pale blue fabric would look gorgeous against her skin.

Trump, Kim insults are the latest in a long line of political put-downs
By Karen DeYoung, Washington Post, September 22, 2017
North Korea’s florid insults and President Trump’s schoolyard ripostes are but the latest in a long tradition of political and diplomatic put-downs. And they are far from the most cutting.
Pyongyang has arguably done better (or worse, depending on point of view). Among U.S. presidents, it has called Lyndon B. Johnson a “living corpse,” George W. Bush a “tyrannical imbecile” and Barack Obama a “clown” and a “monkey.”
In 2009, North Korea’s foreign ministry described then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a “funny lady” who sometimes “looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping.”
Trump, however, is the first U.S. president who has answered in kind, reaching into late-20th-century pop to deride North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as “Rocket Man on a suicide mission.” Kim, or at least his translator, sent many Americans scurrying to their dictionaries by dredging up the 14th-century word “dotard” to describe the U.S. president as old and senile.
But even leaving aside the buzz-killing possibility of nuclear war, none of the current jousting reaches the level of historically clever ridicule. For that, top marks are usually given to the British.
Of the long-necked, sour-faced French leader Charles de Gaulle, Winston Churchill once said, “He looks like a female llama who has been surprised in the bath.”
Told by Lady Astor that if she were his wife she would poison his tea, Churchill responded that, if he were her husband, he would drink it.
More recently, the Labour Party politician Denis Healey famously said that debating his mumbling, Conservative counterpart Geoffrey Howe was “like being savaged by a dead sheep.” (Healey and Howe both died in 2015.) Of John Prescott, a member of his own party, Healy said, “He has the face of a man who clubs baby seals.”
The United States’ Founding Fathers were no slouches in the threatening-insult department. Thomas Jefferson is often credited with calling John Adams a “hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.”
Adams’s partisans, on his behalf, called Jefferson “a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father.”
During a pre-Civil War secession crisis, Trump’s favorite former president, Andrew Jackson, told his vice president, John Calhoun of South Carolina, that “if you secede from my nation, I will secede your head from your body.”
Issues of slavery and secession also led to one of the most famous incidents in Congress, when Massachusetts Republican Charles Sumner, in the spring of 1856, called Illinois Democrat Stephen Douglas a “noisesome, squat, and nameless animal.” The verbal attack resulted in Sumner being seriously beaten with a cane on the Senate floor.
Trump is sometimes compared in terms of language to Alabama governor and four-time presidential candidate George Wallace, who issued similarly blunt attacks against “pointy-headed” bureaucrats and intellectuals, “liberals” and “pinkos.”
Among the most memorable political put-downs in modern U.S. history was Sen. Lloyd Bentsen’s response to Sen. Dan Quayle (R-Ind.) in the 1988 vice-presidential debate, after Quayle defended his lack of experience by noting that he had spent as much time in Congress as John F. Kennedy had when Kennedy ran for Congress.
“I knew Jack Kennedy,” the silver-haired Texas Democrat responded. “Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.”
On the presidential side of the same race, Vice President George H.W. Bush called his Democratic opponents Bill Clinton and Al Gore “bozos.”
On the diplomatic stage, North Korea has had stiff competition from Venezuela, whose President Hugo Chávez called George W. Bush a “monkey” and, in a 2006 U.N. speech, a “devil” who trailed the stench of sulfur in his wake.
After Trump slapped sanctions this year on the repressive Venezuelan government of Nicolás Maduro, the late Chavez’s successor, Maduro warned Trump to “get your pig hands out of here.”
But Maduro, and perhaps not even Kim, can compare with Rodrigo Duterte, the president of the Philippines, who separately called both Obama and Pope Francis a “son of a whore” and the U.S. ambassador a gay “son of a bitch.”
Asked during last year’s U.S. presidential campaign to compare himself to Trump, Duterte replied: “Donald Trump is a bigot, and I am not.”
