My fallout Oc

I wrote about my oc for Fallout. He's part of a little story I have.

Name: Casey (Cas)

Age: 22

Appearance: 5’5, dark reddish hair, bright blue eyes, freckles on upper cheeks and nose, scar starting from the right side of his left eye down to his left cheek

Clothing: Hooded rags ( main), ushanka hat + Surveyor outfit

Background:

Casey grew up on a small farm not far from Diamond city. He never really like the farming life and love adventuring far from home.At age 18, He ended up stumbling upon raider camp and met a raider named Anthony. They began sneaking out to see each other and ended up falling in love. Anthony gave up his raider ways to start a life with Casey and they both ended up leaving their homes.

They set up a home for themselves in downtown Boston. They managed to make a pretty good life for themselves for a few months until Anthony became very sick. The food they had been eating had been highly radioactive and was effecting Anthony. They didn’t have a lot of radaway and rad-x so Casey went out to find some. When he had returned he found his home had been ransacked and Anthony was gone.

The raiders that Anthony had previously been with found out about him leaving their raider gang. Not liking that decision one bit they tracked Casey and Anthony to their house. When Cas left they attacked and kidnapped Anthony taking him to an unknown location.

Helpless on what to do ( he wasn’t strong enough to take on Raiders by himself) he desperately begged for help. When he even spoke about the raiders people would turn away. Others wanted a bunch of caps he didn’t have.

That’s when he learned about Nick Valentine in Diamond City. Even though he was weary on Synths he had no other choice. He traveled to Diamond City to find Nick. When he managed to find Nick He gave him every cap he had ( which wasn’t much) and pleaded for his help. Nick, feeling sorry for the kid, took the job.

It took awhile before they found the raider’s hideout in an abandoned subway tunnel. The two managed to sneak passed a few raiders on their way in but were quickly caught on their little rescue mission. The Raiders who kidnapped Anthony quickly overpowered the two and dragged them to the back of the subway tunnel. There was a huge hole inside the subway where these raiders would throw wastelanders down and watch them fight to survive whatever creature they found. They tossed Cas down first. There is where he found Anthony...the radiation had turned him into a feral ghoul.

At first Cas tried to reason with him and beg him to come to his senses. Unfortunately the radiation had destroyed Anthony’s brain and he was nothing but a monster now. He attacked Cas relentlessly as the raiders cheered him on. Cas was overpowered and pinned to the ground. Anthony slashed at him leaving a gash on his face ( which is how he got his scar). Cas was in panic mode now and struggle letting fear take over. He managed to grab a small pocket knife from the ground left by a dead wastelanders. He smashed the knife into the side of Anthony's head killing him instantly.

Nick had managed to get out of the raiders grasp and put them down during Cas’s fight. He helped drag Cas out of the hole. He tried to ask if he was alright but Cas broke down into sobs. Nick helped him to his feet and they hurried out of there.

Casey had nowhere to go now and no caps to stay at a hotel. Nick took pity on the boy and told him he could stay at his office ( let's pretend Nick other secretary doesn't exist.). Now Cas helps Nick with his detective work.

When the sole survivor ( it’s going to be Nate) comes in he helps him on his journey to find Shaun.

Even after his ordeal he still loves to explore. He loves helping others in need and wants to repay Nick for his kindness. Unfortunately he has a huge fear of ghouls after what happened.

When Hancock joins their little team he can’t even look at him. But after getting to know John he slowly grows use to him ( but he still fears ghouls just not John)

‘A Ghost Story’: David Lowery on Directing Casey Affleck Under a Sheet and Adding That Kesha Cameo

‘A Ghost Story’: David Lowery on Directing Casey Affleck Under a Sheet and Adding That Kesha Cameo

The filmmaker tells THR of grappling with thoughts of death and grief in the intimate A24 indie, also starring Rooney Mara.

To make Disney’s reimagining of Pete’s Dragon, David Lowery and his wife relocated from Texas to Los Angeles — reluctantly. “I did not want to leave and was very, very conflicted about just getting in the car,” he recalled to The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m someone who is very sentimental and nostalgic and attached to the homes I lived in, and I think moving is a traumatic experience.”

Lowery then combined his location-based love with a long-gestating idea and wrote the first draft of A Ghost Story in a single day. Though the A24 drama — which stars Casey Affleck as a bed sheet-covered ghost who haunts the home he once shared with his wife, and first premiered at Sundance — was shot in Texas, where Lowery now resides permanently, the intimate indie also helped him embrace the transience that filmmaking often requires. “It’s tough for me to move on from places, even though I realize that it’s not only necessary but very important to be able to do so. Making this movie was a great way to work through that — to do a little therapy, figure out why physical spaces matter so much to me and learn that I need to lessen my grasp on them from time to time.”

Ahead of A Ghost Story’s release Friday, Lowery spoke with THR about directing a completely covered actor, adding that Kesha cameo and grappling with his own thoughts on death. Below are excerpts from the conversation.

Why did you opt to cover Affleck in a bed sheet?

That image has been something I wanted to employ for quite a few years, and I just didn’t have a movie to put it in. It’s a strong image because it’s something we associate with childhood and Halloween. There’s a naivete to the image, and a charming, handmade quality to it. At the same time, it represents a ghost — someone who has died and cannot leave Earth for whatever reason. There’s so much meaning behind this very simple childhood image, and I loved the idea of taking that image and restoring some gravitas into it.… It’s a goofy image, it’s funny and it’s OK to laugh at it, but our goal was, if we play it just right, audiences will know it’s OK to laugh but then, after a certain point, recognize it’s a character in the movie. The sheer minimalism of this image starts to have an eerie effect that belies the goofy origins of it.

How do you direct someone who is under a sheet?

It’s funny, we thought initially that Casey would get to use a lot of body language and really sell himself underneath the costume, but in the first couple days of shooting, it just wasn’t working. It felt too much like somebody wearing a sheet, and every unique physical trait as a human being was pronounced and exaggerated by this sheet over his head.… It didn’t have an ethereal quality, and we still wanted it to feel like a ghost. Gradually, we ironed out all of that performance, and all the “actorly” traits had to be removed, and it became a matter of patience and posture and moving very specifically, slowly and rigidly. It was more a case of me saying, “Turn your head to the left,” “Hold still” and “Walk forward.” Because the costume is so simple, once we stopped trying to have him move too much and “act,” all of a sudden it takes on this emotional quality because it’s so still and nothing is happening, and you start projecting the context onto that very blank face. That was a profound moment on set, when we realized we don’t have to have him do that much for the ghost to actually work.

What went into the design of the sheet?

The initial concept was, “We’re just gonna get a bed sheet, cut two holes in it, and throw it over Casey’s head.” We tried that — not with Casey, thankfully he wasn’t there yet, he would’ve probably quit if he realized how dumb that looked — and we realized that what works for a seven-year-old on Halloween will not work for a feature-length film about a ghost. We were trying to make a 3D version of a drawing of a sheet over someone’s head, which is a defined arc with two very symmetrical holes for the eyes. It was way trickier than we thought.

My costume designer Annell Brodeur experimented with fabric for the sheet, which wasn’t even a sheet — a king-size bed sheet will not cover a human being — and had to have a certain weight to that the folds would hang in just the right way. [Affleck] had to wear a lot of petticoats underneath the outfit and a head mask, otherwise the face just falls apart.… Beyond that, it required some puppeteering so that when he’d turn his head or sit down or look up, the eyes would stay in the same place and not get too droopy. Sometimes it’d bunch up all of a sudden on his face and he’d look like an elephant with a trunk! A lot of the time, our costume team hid just below frame to keep things in place, so the face would maintain that very simple quality that nonetheless is very emotional.

What about death and grief did you find yourself exploring in this movie?

I think all people are familiar with thinking about their death, and trying to come to terms with the fact that we will, at some point, no longer exist. The loss of one’s ego is very tough to reconcile with; you really have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to wrap your head around the idea of just not existing anymore. If you believe in an afterlife, that’s a way to get beyond that, and that’s beautiful and wonderful. But if you don’t, just the idea that you’re not gonna exist anymore is troubling. This movie was a way for me to say that, if I’m going to be open to the idea of there not being an afterlife — and just being open to the idea is important to me — I need to be OK with that.

In terms of the grieving process, as I get older, and my parents and the people I grew up with get older, it’s something I think about a lot. But what I project onto my ideas of grief is my idea of them being gone from my life. Again, that’s just my own ego getting in the way of something that’s very natural and gonna happen to everybody. I spent a lot of time trying to think about what it’s like for somebody else, rather than what’s left behind, which is me and all the people who will be grieving. What about them and the individuals that are moving on? That experience is so personal and private. I’ve read a great deal and tried to get myself in the mindset of understanding what people go through on both sides of that equation, but I was really interested in the idea of removing my ego from that equation. Especially in the Western world, so much of our cultural ideas about grieving is about us, and I think it’s important to get beyond that sometimes. I’m still figuring out what all of this means to me.

Why include the 1:33:1 aspect ratio?

It’s a pleasing image to me. I particularly love it in modern films because all our means of viewing films these days are rectangular. When you watch a 1:33:1 movie on your TV at home, it’s gonna have black bars on the side and I like that — it provides a proscenium that you view the movie through. This film felt particularly well-suited for that because it’s about someone basically trapped in a box for eternity, and I felt the claustrophobia of that situation could be amplified by the boxiness of the aspect ratio. Then we curved the edges a little to make it feel like an old slideshow or family photograph and add a touch of nostalgia.

Kesha makes a cameo as a character credited as Spirit Girl. How did that happen?

I just love Kesha! That’s really where it came from. I wanted to have one of her songs in the party. That turned into, I wonder if she’d write an original song for the party, which then turned into her just coming to Texas and hanging out on set for a day and showing up in the movie. She did in fact collaborate on the song that plays in that sequence, which is a dream come true. Her music makes me feel alive in a way that other music doesn’t, and I love her spirit and what she represents. Even though it’s a small part and some folks don’t even realize it’s her, I love knowing that she’s there. It adds something very meaningful to me.

More Returns

Here's a superb podcast on Peaks. May 30 is the most recent episode. A great listen. Counter Esperanto Podcast: Tangents About Twin Peaks: 10th Secret: The Return

On Tue, Jun 13, 2017 at 1:53 PM, Dom wrote: I'll check it out tonight.

So my Diane prediction was on the fucking money.

I got another theory I'm working on.

Who's the mysterious billionaire? I heard some people say it may be Audrey Horne. I heard some people say it is Jack (John Justice Wheeler). I heard some people say it is Phillip Jeffries or Evil Cooper.

Put on your tinfoil hat for this one. The Billionaire is Leo Johnson. He lived through his spider ordeal. Then he took everything that Windom left behind (notes, computer files, other assorted Windom things) and built a criminal empire. I find it very hard to believe that the fucking casting director's son who was in the 1st two seasons and the fucking movie is NOT in this one.

The secret history of twin peaks tells us what happens to a bunch of characters like Leo. For instance Hank dies in prison. But not one word in the book about Leo? I got to believe that he lives and he’s not just a slobbering fool any more. I know this is probably not going to happen. But that's my theory.

I cannot imagine Leo is a rich billionaire — how did he make his money? A theory that makes sense I’ve heard on EW TP podcast that it could be BOB-Cooper attempting to catch Good Cooper if he ever left the Lodge. But really, I have no idea… not as of end of P7.

I like how Lynch-Frost are using all official Twin Peaks releases as canon to draw the narrative from — Laura’s Diary, FWWM, Missing Pieces of blu-ray edition, as well as many classic episode threads.

And like Erik, I KNOW, that Sheriff Harry S. Truman will make an appearance in this season. I feel it in my bones.

It’s looking grim for Harry — or rather, it sounds grim from Frank saying to Harry, “beat this thing.” But actually I can see Ontkean coming out of retirement to have a role toward the end of the series. I also (want to) believe Josie returning … maybe she’s the billionaire, but why would she make such a contraption mounted to the side of building?

Spot on is right Mr Domi. You got that Diane was Laura Dern AND that she drinks at the Pub we went to. I even want to say she is seated in the area of the bar that we were sitting at that night.  Glad it wasn't raining when we went, "FUCK Gene Kelly, You mother fucker!!" LOL I love Albert, he is my favorite this season. (Location: Max Von's Bar = Casey's Irish Pub, 619 South Grand, LA)

So Episode 7 should have shut up all those whiner's and complainer's of Ep 6. There was a lot of hate on the internet, and even in our FB Group, about that episode. I was ok with it. I did not like the scene with the kid getting hit by the truck, but the scene ended with the Fat Trout Telephone pole, so I'm ok with it.

"Lynch has gotten flak for the male gaze in his work, but the problems go a lot deeper than lingering shots on female anatomy.…” Laura Hudson in Vulture.

Also in EP 6 we finally got two major new pieces of music from Angelo, not his best work, but still great to hear.  The overall lack of his music is my biggest complaint this season in case I didn't make that clear.

When Johnny Jewel's Windswept first appeared, I thought that was Badalamenti  finally debuting new music. I was definitely disappointed it was not Angelo, no disrespect to Johnny. But I agree with you Erik about no AB original score. That music is what made classic Peaks so memorable. I don’t get why Lynch is using such popular music. There really wan’t any such tracks in FWWM, it was Angelo’s music and further cemented Peaks as evergreen. Lynch is acting like Scorcese in the epic cinematic story… and he doesn’t need to. Marty did not have a Badalamenti in his arsenal. Lynch does. Please use him.

EP 7...There's a body alright.. is definitely the shit. Now we are cooking. Jerry!!!! Come out of it man... Lets get Ben and Jerry back in action, not disfunction. The diary pages, Annie's message from FWWM, Leland hiding pages, DIANE from hell! ... Bringing it all back home.

There’s a dark undercurrent with Diane and Cooper. All signs are indicating something very bad happened to Diane. I think BOB-Cooper raped her.

I wonder where Frank Truman was at the time of Laura's murder? He says he remembers Leland, her father, did it, but is not really familiar with the case. BUT why the heck is Frank not asking "So what is "the Lodge" you keep talking about?” Hawk?

The way Hawk talks so knowledgable about both Lodges and the way Frank does not question or disbelieve him, then it must be common knowledge among the indigenous culture. Wonder if Frank is a Bookhouse Boy?

Ancient Doc Hayward, kinda sad, but he was still funny. Did you catch his Skype name?  MiddleburyDoc... Warren Frost was actually living in VT right? They probably actually did just Skype him and screen capture it…lol

I caught that right away about Warren Frost’s Skype handle. And no doubt, Frost stayed in Vermont to do his scene. That just recorded the screen.… I do miss Briggs. Yet he died long before Lynch-Frost’s three-year tenure writing the new story, they had plenty of time to work the presence of him into the story.

Briggsy.. Oh Major Briggs. how we miss thee. Should be interesting how this plays out. And When the hell are we going to go back to I bet the road where Andy is waiting to meet the Truck owner is up there at Frankln Canyon Pond.

The Dog Leg.... WTF?  Is Joe McCluskey the guy that rigged the car and Mr C Killed earlier on? I do think the Psycho Little guy with the Ice Pick and Gun is kinda silly. Over the top for no reason.  Oh well.… It's kinda silly also that no one has taken Dougie to the Doctor. Everyone just plays along. we have to suspend disbelief I guess.

OMG enough with the guy sweeping at the Roadhosue. Is this all the extra time he told Shotime he needed more money for to tell the story properly?  lol and more music used in hundreds of shows and commercials. I love Booker T and the MGs don't get me wrong, but ... UGH I miss you Angelo... Also... Kinda weird to see Jean Michel... Did Jacque Renault have a twin brother? lol Mr. C and Ray getting out of Prison.. Bad stuff gonna happen. I think they might have used San Bernadino County Jail for this locaton. The Cell block Cooper is located on looks familar.  I will compare some screen grabs from my Locaton and Publicity Photos we took for Beyond Scared Straight at that jail.

And beause they needed to pad the ending to get to the alloted running time... Back to the RR Diner for the end scene, and yet another over-used stock song they probably had to pay more to use than what they paid Angelo for everything. Plus, I liked that song better when they used it in the X-files episode “Home" but No, I'm not bitter.

General notes: Glad Naomi Watts has such a big part. She really owns her scenes. Wish Jennifer Jason Leigh was more present but Mr C just left Jail for somewhere... It's slightly brilliant how Lynch (but probably Frost came up with it) still has made Harry a character in the show. even if only on the phone and never even heard. I feel like Harry is there kinda. Also brilliant... Robert Forrester.... wow. Wish he was in the original or the movie. Not sure how I feel with Dern as Diane. I'll go with it and see what happens.

Outstanding questions for me....(cause I haven't been reading blogs or listening to podcasts)

What is up with all the Arthurian Legend references? Dougie lives on Lancalot Court, down the street from the Merlin Market. Janey-E meets for the ransom drop on the corner of Gueneivere and Merlin. And of course, Glastonbury Grove... Pete Martel: "King Arthur's burried in England!"

Why is it when Dougie puts his thumb up or his hand out to shake, he turns his body 180 degrees?

What is up with the creepy guy (from Mulholland Diner scene) in the Vegas Office? I can't seem to catch his meaning in the story line.

What is up with Cooper's Room Key from the Great Northern? If has finally made it back to Ben Horne...Soooo?

One last question... Did Lynch quit smoking?  He made two references to people (Gordon Cole even) quitting. Did we ever even see Cole smoke in the series or movie? weird for him to say he quit when the character never smoked on camera. "You think about that Tammy."

But I think that a "Sheriff Truman" has been in power for over 60 consecutive years now between the 2 brothers and their father. It sort of like there must always be a Stark in Winterfell.

To my knowledge that was the first time ever we have heard name Joe McCluskey. I have no clue who that is. But I have a feeling we will learn.

Yea, I don’t recollect Joe McCluskey. Gotta watch again to see if he first appears or is mentioned earlier.

I think Ike the Spike is either from the black lodge or an agent of the black lodge. Remember he smelled "funny" per the little girl.

Spike did look a little monstery, his teeth especially.

I actually loved that scene of the sweeping. I could just imagine everyone watching was freaking out and I enjoyed that. And I thought that Walter did some great acting while on the phone as Jean-Michel. "He owes me for two!"

That ending scene from the RR diner was weird as shit. Its either the worst continuity error of all time or something truly weird happened there. Completely different set of people dining there after David Lynch's son runs in and asks if anyone has seen Billy.

Lynch did not quit smoking. He, like Harry Dean are lifers.

Both Laura Dern and Naomi Watts are killing their roles. Both doing a fantastic job. I just cannot wait to see them come face to face over Dougie.

And MacLachlan! All his Cooper iterations are really well done. I love that BOB-Cooper character. Can’t wait to see what trouble he kicks up now!

My new tin foil theory is that we may be dealing with 2 Twin Peaks. Twins of each other if you will. I'm still working this one out. Different versions of the same town in different universes a part of a greater multiverse?

Did you notice Andy was wearing a rolex? Kind of weird.

…And he was supposed to meet the guy at 4:30. Is that one of the numbers from ????? ?

The guy from the Vegas office is working directly for Phillip Jeffries or whoever is pretending to be him IMO.

Don’t overlook the black soot guy walking in the hallway toward the female FBI agent in the morgue. I think it’s related to the guy next to Bill Hastings cell.…

Lots of Arthurian Legend stuff from way back when. I never got that. But its seems to be very important. I would love to go to Merlin's Market.

During the end credits from the last episode buried in the music is Windham Earle's theme mixed into the background too!!!!!

I might try headphones for tonight’s part to see exactly what sounds I miss. I know there’s a lot of low audible noise and rumbling that I don’t hear when our apartment is 86º and the fan is going.…

Yeah I agree about MacLachlan is killing it and should win an Emmy for best actor. Black soot guy is awesome and its the same dude for sure from the jail cell. Some people seem to think we have seen him a third time as a homeless man outside of Vegas at the Rachera Rosa is whatever it is called. I don't think that we did. I will need to re-watch that again. Another tin foil hat theory. On those three pages from Laura's diary she refers to knowing who it is and that its not Bob. At least everyone thinks she is referencing Leland. That is probably most right. However I am thinking that she is referring to an evil more powerful and sadistic than even Bob.Like whatever came out of the glass box and mutilated those younglings.

I am thinking if the guy in the diner eating food non-stop the whole scene with Ray and the chick Mr C shot in the head.  Just before he kills her, he tells her "i killed joe, and the she freaks out, knowing the gig is up.   The previous scene the eating guy "joe" does something to a car in storage and then cooper like squeezes his face for a whole minute.   Could be McCluskey?

> "Lynch did not quit smoking."

Well, its mighty fine of him to send a non smoking message to all the youths. Considering Cole does not smoke, it is a conscious message.

> "All his Cooper iterations are really well done."

Yes, Kyle will def get an Emmy nomination. Dern and Watts will also I predict.  

> “RR diner was weird as shit. Its either the worst continuity error of all time or something truly weird happened there.”

There are no accidents on a Lynch set. If an error occurs and he likes it he will use it. So who knows why he did it. On the same level as the windows  flashing code on the FBI jet.  He is throwing out decoys i feel.  

> “then it (the Lodge) must be common knowledge among the indigenous culture.”

Then why the heck is Truman not like "well lets go up there" nor does Hawk tell him he was up in those woods when Log Lady last called.

> “Don’t overlook the black soot guy walking in the hallway”

Nope, I did not mention him cause i consider it another decoy.  Kinda like the shambling being behind the diner in Mulholland Drive...never came up again. i am sure he will play a part at some point.  

But i did forget to mention the playing card Mr. C  showed the girl in the hotel bed before he shoots her.  Aliens? Very well could be.

Have a good viewing. The damn internet saying EP 8 is extra noteworthy. Could it be Phillip Jeffries? Windom Earl?  More Leland and Laura? (I actually doubt we will see either of them again).  Audrey? Big Ed? They got plenty of options.

Cheers! ~G
