Note—An asterisk (*) indicates a Firstborn Spacing based on a loss. These couples' 1st Live Birth also contributes to their data; however, as a Post–Loss Spacing, rather than a Firstborn Spacing.
Some couples don't have a Marriage–to–Firstborn Spacing listed. In these cases it's because—(1) they have not announced Pregnancy #1 yet, or (2) they had fertility struggles prior to Baby #1.
A masterlist of muses that I have played throughout the years, that I am always willing to play. I do need to go over some of the FC's and probably make some changes since this list is YEARS old. But I will do that and update it!!
having a major dilemma with what class i want my next hawke to be. gabriel is sebmancing (YIPPE) and i think is gonna be blue/purple with a hint of red not sure yet but that’s not my main concern.
like for one im obsessed with a pro-mage hawke that isn’t a mage, i saw a post about how they’re like the only one who has had a truly positive experience with mages and magic on a personal level (the post was a lot more eloquent but i don’t remember who made it) and i’ve been knawing on it ever since. i know he wouldn’t be a rogue so i love the idea of the rogue prince and his knight in shining armor 🥺 he’s also very much himbo which i KNOW is cliche m!hawke characterization but i am not immune to himbo propaganda and warrior just fits that very well.. also im doing it in a more intellectual way so its fine. taking bethany into consideration i love a good older brother/baby sister dynamic, he would take her to the deep roads so the templars cant get her and im NOT killing her off for tragedy purposes this time so she'd become a warden. i havent spent as much time with bethany as carver and the other times i have i didnt know you could save the sibling you bring to the deep roads by also bringing anders rip :/
HOWEVER the older failbrother and little cringebrother dynamic with hawke and carver is just so appealing to me (especially right now in the midst of my succession brainrot being a kendall and roman girl). he’d also be a blood mage just bc i think it’s fun but also the contrast of blue/white holy prince and his red/black maleficar bf is *chefs kiss*.
okay actually after this stream of consciousness i think i will go warrior... like i obviously have more thoughts about that than mage, as much as i love putting blood mage pc into situations. okay time to spend 50 years in the character creator 😵
Madame Shū Nǚ and The Celestial Temple of Beauty, Harmony, and Repose debuts its greatest innovation yet.
愛蜂巢 (Ài fēngcháo) or in English “The Love Hive”
Do not be fooled by it looking like an old-fashioned bonnet hair dryer; the device is three steps beyond tomorrow as it can rewrite reality for the person placed in its power.
Those exposed to its Quantum Universal Harmonics are lifted out of reality and then placed back in the now a new self; they are who they were, but also someone new. A person who is genuinely who they now seem to be. No further training in culture is needed as the returned client finds the set skills, culture, and language is theirs, so much so that no new identity has to be created. Instead, they find that the world and all its records agree the “new” person is who they have always been.
NOT FOR EVERYONE! And if you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.
Above, we see Ohio housewife Margret Jean Wilson becoming Korean Freshman in college Chin-Sun P'an.
Easier than a long and messy old divorce isn’t it, Chin-Sun?
Bethany Hartman, shy to the point of being almost mute.
Had us remake herself into Hanako Bando, a Harajuku Punk Girl who, if she’s not speaking to you, it’s because she doesn’t have the time to waste.
Casey Hammond knows that no Westerner can train to be a true full geisha.
She knows because now, as Chizue Hamamura, she knows it's not for them just Japanese women like her.
Joanna Rhodes frankly just wanted a nose job while somehow getting around her abject fear of surgery.
If that meant she, did it by becoming Jia Li Rong, an immigrant from Taiwan, she’s okay with that. She even paid to have her mother and father become Mr. and Mrs. Rong. However, her father, Liang Rong (former Larry Rhodes), still has some adjusting to do.
“Wait a minute; this is all real? And what's the deal with this crazy accent I have now when I speak English? And how did English become my second language! ” Hang in there, Liang; perhaps some meditation at a Zen temple would help.
And then there was Brooke Kendall, who just said to turn the cute dial up to 11!
Bethany: Kendall isn't answering my messages.
Auden: Here, let me try.
Bethany: I tried six times, what makes you think-
Kendall, replying to Auden's message: Hey

THE PERMANENT RAIN PRESS INTERVIEW WITH EMMANUELLE VAUGIER
You are reprising your role as Tara Kendall in Big Sky River: The Bridal Path. Did you always hope to explore this character further? Did you have high hopes for a sequel when you filmed Big Sky River?
Absolutely! We had such a great time filming the first one. Everyone clicked and the chemistry was so good, I think we were all excited about the potential for a sequel.
How has Tara grown, personally, and adjusted to life back in Parable? Are there any doubts about leaving her life back in New York?
Taking a leap of faith and making big life changes can be challenging. But when Tara sees all the positive signs around her… a sense of community, quality of life, healthy relationships, and a sense of peace… I can relate to how this would affirm you’ve made the right choice for yourself and your family.
Tara and Erin have a beautiful relationship. What do you enjoy about their interactions, and working so closely with Cassidy Nugent?
Erin is the daughter Tara never had. Tara cares deeply for Erin, and they are very close, but there is a healthy boundary between their friendship and Tara’s role as a parent. Working with Cassidy is a treat, she’s a talented young actress and she always brings her A-game.
I know in this sequel, Erin will further struggle with where she fits in, with her father and I presume, Bethany, having a child of their own. How will Tara and Erin’s relationship be tested with this new revelation?
I think the tests that present themselves help Erin and Tara’s relationship grow and evolve. They learn to communicate more openly which not only strengthens their bond but helps Erin trust that she can have that with her father too.
How about having Sawyer Fraser (Fletcher) and John JJ Miller (Griffin) on set? Did you create that family atmosphere behind the scenes as well?
We definitely all bonded behind the scenes. Hard not to. Since we’d already worked together the year before, there was a level of comfort and a sense of family between us.
You also got to work opposite Kavan Smith as Boone Taylor. How is he as a scene partner and person?
Kavan is one of the most genuine people I’ve had the opportunity to work with, on and off the screen. He’s also pretty funny… so there's always lots of joking around and laughter during our downtime.
You didn’t have any initial chemistry read, so you really had to build that relationship and chemistry during filming; in these circumstances, how do you work with a new love interest to find that communication and comfort level?
Often times that’s the case and you just have to jump in and hope for the best. Kavan and I met a few times before we started filming. We got to know each other better and talk about some of our scenes. We’d worked together a bunch of years ago, but we didn’t really know each other beyond that.
What intrigues you about Tara and Boone’s connection, and what can you share about how their relationship has progressed in the sequel?
I love how open, honest and grounded their relationship is. They are met with some challenges and the script tackles them in a very real way.
These films highlight hard, real-life situations like divorce, widowhood, and blended families. What do you hope viewers take away from the movies and how it approaches these subjects?
I feel the movie handles these situations gracefully. I hope viewers can find comfort in knowing that they are not alone. Life throws curve balls at all of us, and what that looks like is different for everyone.
You are an animal lover and an equestrian, so these films fulfill that love that you have for animals. Was that a motivating factor for you to sign onto this project? Can we expect more horse riding?
Ha! Having horses be a part of the film was a huge factor for me. I got to go to work every day and be surrounded by animals, it was magical! I do ride again in the sequel. I’m hoping that going forward we’ll see Tara and Boone on horses more often.
Peter Benson stars as Tara’s ex-husband, James, but is also the director of both films. How was it working with Peter and under his direction? Do you think his experience as an actor affects or maybe benefits how he works behind the camera and interacts with the cast/crew?
Peter was amazing. His experience as an actor definitely gives him an advantage when directing. He knows how to talk to actors, and how to communicate in terms that we can easily understand. There’s a shorthand. He has a great eye and is always very positive and supportive.
Did you film both in Abbotsford?
We did. We used the same location for Tara and Boone’s homes. It’s such a great property. I felt so lucky that that was my “office” for several weeks.

You founded The Fluffball Foundation and Relief Fund. Tell me about when that idea/passion became a reality for you, and the non-profits and charities that your sales and work support.
I’ve always loved animals, and I was looking for a way to give back. Naturally, animal charities were what I was drawn to. Initially, I hosted a small event at my home in LA back in 2010. We’ve raised money and awareness through online campaigns as well as our cocktail events for a variety of charities over the years. Best Friends Animal Society, The Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation, as well as Forgotten Horses Rescue. We’ve recently chosen to assist in raising funds and awareness for HorsesnHeroes.org in Ocala, Florida.
As you mentioned, you have a new partnership with Horses N Heroes. What can you tell me about them, and the exciting plans you have for future events?
We’ve just started working together, so we are still in the process of figuring out the details. But part of that is finding out what the organization needs in way of supplies, etc. to help keep things running smoothly and to ensure the young girls and retired horses are cared for. The program takes in retired show horses that will live out their golden years at the ranch, teaching young girls from a variety of complicated backgrounds, how to ride and care for them under the guidance and supervision of founder Mindy Morrow.
You are of French Algerian and Italian descent; how important is your heritage and culture to you, and how do you stay connected with it on an everyday basis?
It’s part of who I am. Traveling and experiencing the culture first hand in those countries. That's when I feel most connected.
You love connecting with your fans, preferably off social media or at least have that face-to-face interaction. You’ve guested at Galaxy Con, Clexa Con, Dragon Con and Supernatural conventions in the past; how much do you miss these events? Do you have any upcoming appearances?
Meeting fans in person is always really cool. I love hearing how a particular show or role was meaningful to them and why. I’ve been so touched by many of the stories fans have shared with me over the years. I haven’t done a live event in probably 3 years. I’ll be going to my first one in a long while this coming September 21, 22 and 23 at the Salt Lake City FanX.
When people tell you how much your work and your characters have impacted and inspired them, what does that mean to you?
The whole point of a performance, to me, is to move people. If I’ve impacted them in some way, then I’ve done my job.
You joined TikTok in 2021. How has it been for you, navigating that social media platform?
I’m still figuring it out. Lol.
You’ve had an illustrious career so far, how would you say you’ve grown as an artist? What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in your industry?
The most important thing I’ve learned is how to say no. I have much healthier boundaries around my work and personal life. Balance is healthy. I’m happier.
If you could be any ice cream flavor, which would you be and why?
Salted Caramel. Because I’m sweet… but I can definitely be salty!

Thanks to Emmanuelle and Lesley Diana (The Promotion People). Big Sky River: The Bridal Path premieres Friday, August 11 at 9/8c on Hallmark.
i was thinking about my kendall roy-coded hawke and if he'd be a mage or not bc ive assigned shiv to bethany and roman to carver STAY WITH ME. roman and carver honestly is less of a stretch bc both feel inferior to their siblings and have spent their entire lives trying to gain the approval and praise of their father but were always too Different to fit in completely. bethany and shiv are both frequently underestimated and powerful in their own rights. obviously their genders are the biggest thing bc while it doesnt really matter in game as much it does matter A Lot for the roy's dynamic and it's easy to fit in game content to those roles. bethany being the only daughter, the baby girl, father's apparent favorite... carver is leandra's baby boy... hawke is also there, eldest son with the weight of the world on his shoulders
but this is where hawke's class comes into play bc if he's a mage then him and bethany grew up as a kind of duo and were the "higher-status siblings" in carver's eyes as their father favored them by virtue of being mages and building that kind of resentment and inferiority complex. so hawke losing bethany is even more devastating bc they were close, she was the only one who Got It who understood, and sort of a last link to their father bc now its just him. only he has the magic that's defined so much of their lives and while he's already kind of been the head of house for a few years now it's really Just him and the rest of his family who dont really like him but he doesnt have a choice furthering the cycle of becoming his father. whatever that looks like i havent thought about much yet but malcolm is for sure better than logan we arent getting too crazy, but he haunts them in the same way. literally everything they do is "what would father have done". and on a "maybe the poison drips through" note, the poison being magic? inch resting... like we know the poison Did indeed drip through but having that tangible example that it has and how magic is literally viewed as a curse....hmm
on the other hand, non-mage hawke is closer with carver bc they were both sidelined by bethany, daddy's little girl and only one with magic. losing carver, again, is like losing the one who Gets it most but also he was leandra's baby boy (roman the mommy's boy) and she resents hawke for 'letting' him be killed. he still has bethany who has his father's magic which is a blessing and a curse but she keeps him grounded. they're both smart and know what's at stake. after she leaves he's all alone again and their relationship gets strained, all of that bonding thrown out the window. both of the last links to malcolm blaming him for things that he tried his best to avoid but it wasn't enough, it's never enough. it'll never be enough bc he isnt his father but he's still his father's son
