fellow fansies - I have complied a (hopefully) comprehensive list of cast members for anyone new to the fandom or for those who may like a refresher on the casts. I've not included every single character, just the main ones, so if you'd like a character adding just ask; also if you notice any cast members are missing or have been labelled incorrectly in any way, please let me know, I want this list to be as accurate as possible. characters with a dash (-) for any of the categories I wasn't sure if they were included in that production or not. if you're able to fill in any of the blanks that would be much appreciated. any questions, please let me know <3

[alternamarian]

Me *watching Mansfield Park (continued)*:

Mary and Henry Crawford are the only characters who, before Edmund Bertram proposes, explicitly say they care about Fanny Price. But Mary blames her for Henry running off with Mrs Rushworth?!! — The same Henry Crawford who says he wants to 'make a hole in Fanny's heart'?!! These are the characters with the best regard for her?!!

Also, why does Edmund Bertram keep talking to Mary Crawford? When she's not insulting both his preferences and beliefs, she's ignoring him. It can't be because she ... just happens to be there (and also is played by Hayley Atwell)?!!

LOL Mrs Norris describing her as too small and brown

And yes Edmund treats Fanny better than the rest of his family, but why then does he finally decide to propose to her? It can't be because she ... just happens to be there (and is also played by Billie Piper)?!!

But then he himself is not present as much as he could have been. He wastes time with Mary Crawford and is tolerably respectful towards Fanny ... oh and he sits with his brother Tom during the alchohol-induced illness. — But not much else.

At least that scene when he admits to her that deceived himself was convincing. (And at least Blake Ritsom got to actually smile and not just smirk, as he did incessantly in Emma 2009.)

[professionallydeadinside]

Oh and this has been in it for a while but i never said it here: a few miles away from Scaryville is a place called Victimston US, and some honourable mentions of its inhabitants include Henry Emily, Blake from Outlast Two (no other outlast characters though since they all either a) had it coming (like jeremy who was a piece of shit) or b) are being counted as villains for the sake of fun (like Waylon and Miles) (the only one who might also belong in Victimston is Billy Hope iirc (the guy who originally had the wallrider))), Alana Bloom, Jack Crawford, and Sidney from Scream. Others are included but i cant think of everyone whoopsies

BLAKE MY BELOVED.......Love that he's a victim but Waylon and Miles are villains it's what he deserves <3

[erisluna35ocblog]

ErisLuna35ocblog Guide:

I started this blog to organize my OC lores for those who are interested and want to get to know them better. It's a little complicated as I tend to put them in AUs, and they end up somewhat different depending on the story they're in yet I try to keep the cores of their characters the same. It will take a while before this blog starts posting original content as I put a lot of stuff on main that I will reblog here for now. I will expand and update this as time goes on.

Main OCs:

Keagan Gerald "Kaji" Aurelio Ashworth

Fiona "Fuyu" Kuznetsov

Shizuke Midorikawa

Blair Crawford

Blake Crawford

Natalia Hale

Damien Guerrero

Zephyr Ryder

AUs:

OG STORY - this is the tag I use to label my original concepts for these characters. Before their better known ML AU incarnations, I pictured them in this fairytale-esque fantasy au with Keagan as the main protagonist. Prince Keagan had a leisurely life as the spare to the throne who's only responsibility is tying down the most powerful knight of their generation to stay on their kingdom's side forever through marriage. Everything was set on a track and he had no intention of fighting it. He likes his hedonistic life as a prince and he gets along well enough with his fiance, it's not worth losing over a thing called "freedom". His destiny was agreeable to him... that is, until he learns of a horrible secret that puts his fiance in danger but she can't know about it lest she dies by her own sword because she is stubborn about protecting everyone like the goddamn knight she is. The prince is forced to take matters into his own hands and run away from the capital, recruiting an unlikely group of outcasts, creating enemies from the shadows and have his fiance and his other childhood friend try to drag him back home.

ML AU - this is the tag I use to lump together all stories set in the show called Miraculous Ladybug.

BTaL - Between Truths and Lies, posted on Ao3 and FF.net. Acronym can be pronounced to sound like "Beetle" lol. The basic premise is its lowkey a future gen fic focusing on the new heroes, Shizuke Midorikawa as Ladybug and Blair Crawford as Chat Noire. Follow their journey as they struggle through superheroing, magic, love, grief and one evil butterfly lady.

N2CatS - No Two Cats are the Same, posted on Ao3 and FF.net. Acronym can be pronounced like "N-2-Cats". It's the time travel story set midway S2 of BTaL that features canon characters and how they deal with being stuck with my ocs for a week. Focused mainly on character study. It jumps off from an alternate end to Ephemeral where Sass's last resort ends up yeeting Adrien and Blair into each other's eras. Can be read as a stand alone despite its references to BTaL, as most references come with an explanation or much context isn't needed to be understood. Though reading BTaL first does enhance some of the references and enhances foreshadowing.

Otome Game AU - You know those manhwas where the protagonist, usually female, wakes up one day into the romfan world of the otome game or novel she was reading before she died? And she's in the body of the villainess, or the heroine or some extra? This AU, that's my entire main cast. A group of tired and stressed college students were working on a game for their thesis. They either worked themselves to death or their kidneys gave out from too much red bull or maybe they were half asleep walking home when truck-kun came for them, who knows. Thing is, they all died. Individually woke up into the body of the character that was modelled after them - which explains how none of them realizes they're not the only one who reincarnated. Chaos ensues. Can they all come to the same page before its too late?

4. Zapata

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Oooooh! This is a fun one!!! Two options:

A movie. Zapata always had a hard edge to her, and the CIA sharpened her. I could see a feature-length film set between when she left the FBI and when Keaton sent her to Blake Crawford's gala, to explore what made her so much rougher and what made Keaton think she would be "perfect" for such a dark, dangerous, highly compartmentalized op that's so completely outside the lines of anything she would have considered before.

The other is a Tasha Zapata PI series. @guadalajara92 already gave us an AMAZING trailer/edit for what that might look like.* (Maybe a limited series though, because I wouldn't want them to turn it into another run-of-the-mill procedural... and maybe not NBC. xD Somewhere it could be as dark and gritty as it, and Tasha, deserve. 💕) *if anyone's reading this who hasn't finished the series and looking to be surprised at the end, maybe hold off on watching that trailer, it draws from the series finale.

Send me asks!

Sorry, guys, I just have so many poll ideas!

[sapphiredhearts-a]

hello! this is not meant to be a bother, but i was wondering if you happened to have a list of fcs for your muses or if you’d be willing to type one out? again very much not trying to be a bother or anything just honestly curious and would like to know!

hi friend !! not a bother at all !! almost all of my fcs are different from canon so it's probably hard to keep up ! I have a lot of muses so I'll add it under the cut ! I've been away from tumblr for a long time so if you see something that isn't super accurate please don't hesitate to let me know !! I relied real heavily on rph resources & tried to google search as much as possible but I know it's not always the best & I wanna stay true to what I can !! also pls forgive the non-formatting the list is long & I am literally copy & pasting this . ( also also if anyone's name is misspelled it's literally because I wrote this as I went & not intentional - some of them may also be abbreviated I can't remember if I went back & fixed it )

Sweet Nothing Masterlist

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Acclimating oneself into a team who seems to be so attached to each other that they would take a bullet for each other is certainly hard, but it’s especially harder when bullets are a real thing they may encounter on a daily basis. So what better way to get to know anyone than to throw a small dinner party? Nothing bad has ever come of those, right? Surely not. 

Imagine Jack Crawford’s surprise when he got a hand-written letter on his desk inviting him to dinner at Blake Adler’s home. Or the fact that he wasn’t the only one to get the expensive piece of parchment with his name is calligraphy. It seems she also invited Doctor Hannibal Lecter who he’s never seen interact with Blake before, maybe this was her way of networking? Hannibal did work with their team a lot and Blake hasn’t had a chance to see him much yet. Invitations were also handed out to Doctor Alana Bloom–another Jack realized they didn’t interact with each other–and Will Graham. Will may have been the only person Jack has seen Blake talk to, besides Beverly, but their conversations were short and to the point. Possibly because it’s been slow the past week Blake has been admitted into the Behavioral Unit. 

Maybe the serial killers knew to take a break.

As Jack looked up at the house in front of him, he stepped up the stairs to the door. It was a cold Virgina evening, the beginning of winter so he bundled up accordingly. Jack studied the house for a while. It was a small two-story house, more like a cottage–more than enough room for one woman–it had deep blue siding and a black roof with gothic looking windows. If he could guess anyone lived here, it would be Blake Adler. They somehow matched well.

“Jack! Hey, want to come in?” Blake said from the doorway, a light smile on her lips. She also seemed to be bundled up accordingly, a simple deep chocolate sweater and some jeans on. Jack nodded kindly and entered her home. A wash of warmth ran through him. “Hannibal and Alana have already tried asking for wine, but I find it…. Disgusting. Though, I can make mixed drinks.” She said, motioning over to the coat rack for Jack to hang his on.

As Blake ventured in further to her home, Jack followed her to see Hannibal, Will, and Alana already at the table. They straightened in their seats as Jack came closer, deciding to sit next to Will at the table. Hannibal and Alana had some sort of cocktail in their glasses while Will had water in his.

“So what are we having for dinner?” Jack piped up, a polite smile on his lips as he folded his hands on the table. It smelled good at least, but it didn’t smell like anything in particular that he recognized.

Hannibal hummed, “I believe it’s lasagna.” He answered before Blake could, pursing his lips slightly. He had a much more…. Refined palette. 

“Right you are, Doctor Lecter.” Blake winked at the older man as she made her way into the kitchen. “It’s my mom’s recipe. Much more of a homey meal than I’m sure you’re used to, Hannibal.” She joked as she took it out of the oven to serve it on the plates set up next to her. She then began to set the plates in front of each of her guests. “If you’re concerned about what’s in it, it’s a homemade meat sauce with ricotta and parmesan.” Blake explained as she sat down at the head of the table.

Will analyzed the lasagna in front of him for a moment before he gathered some on his fork and hummed as the food hit his tongue. He hasn’t really had a home made meal in a while and having one alone with his dogs didn’t…. Have the same effect. It felt…. Strangely nice, as if there was warmth trying to escape from him.

“This is delicious, Doctor Adler.” Alana complimented, wiping her mouth with a napkin after a few bites. She seemed very genuine. But then again Blake is very…. Suspicious of others and how they word things.

Blake smiled graciously at Alana, “Thank you. And you can call me Blake, you met me on the first day anyway.” She shrugged innocently as she went to take another bite. Alana may have thought certain things when she found Blake and Will in a lecture hall together but it wasn’t what it appeared to be to her. Or perhaps, it was just the start of it.

Alana blushed, embarrassed as she looked down at her plate. Hannibal and Will looked amused as they ate their plate of food. “Is there any particular reason you invited us here today?” Hannibal asked, carefully lifting his fork to his mouth. Compared to the rest of them, he was a slow eater. 

“Well, I wanted to get to know the people I’ll most likely be working with very closely for the foreseeable future. And, perhaps, you could get to know me.” Blake explained, taking a sip of her sparkling cider. She shrugged as she looked at the others at the table, “You can ask me questions and I’m hoping I can ask you some as well.”

Alana pushed her fork around on her plate, “I was wondering why you chose to opt out of having a Bureau approved psychiatrist.” She admitted softly. Blake’s eye twitched slightly, unsure how she was meant to take that.

“I have my own psychiatrist which I trust and have been with since I graduated college. I simply wouldn’t trust you or Doctor Lecter enough to not tell the Bureau absolutely everything I might say in sessions.” Blake said, finishing up her meal as she gave Alana a light smile. Hannibal cocked his head at Blake. “My therapist, Doctor Martin, is very great at knowing which information to give Jack and which information is more private. No offense, Jack, but you do ask for a lot.” She mused softly.

Jack shrugged, “None taken. And, to ease your worries, Doctor Bloom, Doctor Martin is very experienced and obviously has a great relationship with Blake. I wouldn’t break them apart just for convenience.” He admitted softly.

“Hmm.” Will hummed, thinking it was funny. If he’s known Jack to want anything, it’s convenience. After all, he’s decided Hannibal needed to be his therapist after Alana talked about just how good he was.

Blake looked at Will’s direction before averting her gaze down to the fizzing bubbles in her glass. “Therapy helped me learn a lot about myself. Not to mention putting names to things I do. For instance, to do what I wanted to do today I’m doing a lot of masking. Not necessarily intentional but helps me portray myself as ‘normal’ in others’ company.” She explained, not sure why necessarily she’s telling psychiatrists things they would most likely already know. But then again, you may forget some things after you get your PhD and licensing to be a practicing therapist. 

"People on the autism spectrum are more common than one would think, after all, diagnosis was not at all accurate in the early 1900s." Hannibal nodded, adjusting the way his tie laid across his chest.

Blake chuckled softly and nodded as well before she glanced at Will who seemed to be more interested in a specific groove in her wooden table. She pursed her lips, remembering what it felt like to not be included. Whether it was in conversations with friends or simply not being there all together, it was hard. Blake never wanted anyone to feel as if they were left out, sometimes to the point where she'd take on too much at once.

"What do you do in your spare time, Will?" Blake asked, an expression of genuine curiosity to get to know him on her face. 

Will answered simply, "I fish." He gave a slightly strained smile, feeling as if Blake only asked the question out of courtesy. 

Blake let out a light hum, "I used to fish with my grandparents. Grandpa would take me and my brothers out on his pontoon and, if I was lucky, I'd be able to drive it." Her eyes glazed over slightly as she recounted the memory. Blake was certainly more open than Will would have anticipated. 

"What do you…. Do in your spare time?" Will inquired back, feeling much more interested in talking about Blake than himself. The attention of the table turned to her.

Jack pursed his lips, cocking his head as he thought about what Blake might do. She was a somewhat outspoken girl, dyeing her hair might be on the list.

Blake glanced around the table for a moment and let out a dramatic sigh, "I sing. Definitely not well but it gets the emotions out." She admitted with a laugh. "Also boxing, that's pretty good too." Then something else popped into her mind. "And driving! When I was younger, my brothers would take me to race tracks and I always wanted to learn. I eventually did when I turned about twenty, probably would've been the job I picked before I found this." 

Alana blinked at her small story. "You would have…. Become a race car driver? And chose the FBI over that?" She was completely shocked. 

"Yeah, well, we all start somewhere." Blake chuckled softly. "Mine just so happened to be in my Dad's garage, learning how to change his van's oil when I was ten." She shrugged, fiddling a little with her sleeve.

Jack joked, "Well, now I know how to call when I need to get my next tire rotation."

—-------

After dinner, it was just Blake and Will left. So Blake began washing some dishes, deciding not to kick Will out of her house even if she did have the nagging want to be alone all of the sudden. Blake hummed softly as she set the rinsed dishes into the dishwasher and turned it on.

"Did you really want to be a race car driver?" Will asked, arms folded against his chest as he leaned against the counters. At this proximity, Will almost had to look up to see Blake's face.

Blake hummed in response. "Before I…. Matured, it was fairly easy for me to get in and out of the cars." She explained softly. "But then I was diagnosed and was suddenly very interested in how the brain works and why certain people are the way that they are."

"Your conclusion?" Will asked.

Blake gave the man a light smile and shrugged, standing next to Will as she looked at the floors. "Still not sure. Certain things happen when people are born. Autism is not a disorder that is developed, while things like dissociative disorders are usually developed because something happened in your childhood to make you cope in that way. It all really depends on the person and what that particular person is going through. It also depends on what stage in their life it may be happening." She explained, cocking her head slightly.

Will pursed his lips, eyes fixated on the edges of the countertops. Recently, his grasp on time seemed to have been taken away from him. He certainly wasn't sure why, it hasn't happened before but he has been working on cases more frequently than ever. Perhaps it was taking a toll on his mind.

Except with Blake. He can say for certain that he's been present the whole time he was in her home and even on the way there, Will remembered it. Why…. Was it like this? Will barely ever felt safe at work and, now, with him experiencing lost time there as well, it's even harder. But Doctor Blake Adler…. She felt safe. Her whole home screamed it. With its deep blue walls that almost seemed black and the vintage framed posters on the walls, even the green velvet couch in the living room that was just begging for someone to lay on it. Home was foregin to Will Graham. He only ever felt at home with his dogs, even then it was hard to be in the mindset of home.

"Would you…. Want to get coffee?" Will asked, almost pained to be saying the words. "With me?" He wasn't the best at…. This. Talking. Or intentionally trying to be friendly to meet some end goal.

Blake cocked her head for a moment, honestly thinking about which made Will more nervous than it should have. "There's a Starbucks we can walk to that's not too far from the Bureau." She suggested as she went to grab a coat from her chair.

"Not…. Now." Will let out a dry nervous laugh, lips trembling slightly until he felt the coat on his shoulders.

"I know." Blake winked, hands placed gingerly on Will's shoulder. "You looked cold." She said innocently. "I think it's time you go before it gets colder, okay?"

Will blinked at Blake before he pulled his hands through the sleeves of the jacket. He caught a sniff of Blake's perfume, something light but citrus and almost masculine. The sleeves themselves were almost too big for Will, he let out a small huff of a laugh at it.

Blake then pursed her lips in thought. "I can send you home with some hot cider if you'd like." She suggested softly, pulling her hands away from Will's shoulders. "I can promise it cures any type of cold away from your body."

"Oh, um…. Sure." Will smiled lightly, a small one but it was genuine.

Something Blake learned early on was that Will's smiles were never really true. They were remorseful, strained, disgusted, after a sarcastic comment, but never filled with joy as one would hope a smile entailed.

—------

With a thermos full of warm apple cider, Will made it to his house and was greeted by a herd of dogs. He smiled softly at each one of them, carefully patting each on their heads as he made his way inside. Once they calmed, Will sat on the bed in the corner of the room and looked down at the coat still on his shoulders. He tugged it closer to his body, feeling more of that same emotion. Warmth. Will would never have thought warmth could be classified as an emotion but he sure as hell felt it. 

After a while, Will grabbed a mug from his kitchen and poured some cider into it. He watched the steam evaporate in front of him, signifying it was still hot even after the long drive home. It had to be about 1 am by the time he reached his house. Will looked somewhat enthralled with it. The cider was a deep golden color but still transparent enough to see the sides of the mug through the liquid. 

Lifting the mug to his lips, Will could only describe the smell as a stereotypical fall day. Probably something filled with jumping in piles of leaves. And the taste of it just reinforced that idea. What magic did Blake perform on this liquid to make it so enticing? Either way, Will wanted more. But he knew to pace himself. He had to savor it. Who knew the next time he would have something like this?

Will made his way to his living room yet again and sat cross-legged by the fireplace as he sipped at the cider. Warmth certainly was coursing through his body while his skin still felt slightly cold. Blake was right. The cider was slowly willing that cold away. Will's expression turned to that of fondness as he tugged the coat tighter and took another sip of his cider.

This was possibly the best he's felt in years. Especially now with Will's blackouts, he's never felt more content and present.

Writer Spotlight: Lina Rather

Lina Rather is a speculative fiction author from Michigan now living in Washington, D.C. Her stories have appeared in various publications, including Shimmer, Flash Fiction Online, and Lightspeed.

Her current work, Our Lady of Endless Worlds, is a space opera about faith and duty, redemption and revelation, and nuns in a giant slug in outer space. The first book in the series, Sisters of the Vast Black, won the Golden Crown Literary Society Goldie award and was shortlisted for the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award. Its sequel, Sisters of the Forsaken Stars, is now out to all the places that sell good books—possibly interrupting Lina’s non-writing pursuits of cooking overly elaborate recipes, reading history, and collecting cool rocks and terrible 90s comic books.

[hellhaveubeenloca]

Looking back at 90s models, the fashion, and the makeup trends is so interesting cause you can see how it progressed from that, to the 2010s, and then to recent years, and how trends and who influences them, and how people interact with them are much different now.

I think what is the biggest difference now from both the 90s and early 2010s is: people now are seeking to be seen as “______.” They want to be deemed something. They try to brand themselves.

When as in the 90s, the icons of the time were branded by others. Kate Moss didn’t give herself the “rockstar trapped in a models body” title, the magazines and people did.

The Olsen twins didn’t say “yeah we’re the it girls of the indie sleaze style” they just were.

Zooey Deschanel didn’t call herself “the queen of twee,” the people deemed her that. That was how she liked to dress. You can see to this day thats the style she really loves and she puts her heart into it. Yes I know she’s a nepo baby but that’s not what I’m focusing on rn.

Obviously kate moss was a model and didn’t often style herself, and the olsen twins 100% participated in trends. But there was a genuine sense of self. It felt like they actually enjoyed themselves, and then it naturally bridged some gaps between hollywood and the rest of the world. Mary Kate didn’t carry around a wine stained birkin cause she wanted to be deemed ad “a free uncaring cool spirit” it was cause she really didn’t care, and then people were like “oh cool how she really doesn’t care.”

It felt like Cindy Crawford always wore mac spice lip pencil and revlon rum raisin because that what she loved.

It’s like that one clip of debby ryan getting interviewed and she’s asked what her go to product is right now and she says it’s just strawberry chapstick. Was she probably told to say that?? yeah. Was all of it still very much curated as all of it is today??? Yes absolutely.

But now celebrities are kinda different and it took that way of trends with them

Since I would say 2016, every influencer and celebrity has really tried to deem themselves as relatable. Authentic, genuine, just like us.

Remember how around like 2009-2014, Jennifer Lawrence was constantly mocked for being “weird, annoying, unprofessional” cause she wasn’t polished 24/7??? Now that’s what they all are.

Them trying to bridge the gap is what makes it so annoying to view. Both celebrities/influencers trying to be seen as “just like us” and also non famous people trying to get a following and be a c lister.

I would rather view a celebrity doing what they do on the carpets and premieres and be honest how it’s crazy and gloated, than they go “yeah I’m totally just like you guys, quarantining in my manison.”

I would rather them try to be honest about how they are different. Blake Lively be honest she’s wearing 400,000 dollars of jewelry to the superbowl and not try to be all humble n shit.

I would rather them not try to “mingle” and just be honest they are rich and not like us. This really includes influencers who try to be like “Here’s my normal ditl living in a 20,000 dollar New York apartment.” I’m looking at you directly Haley Kalil.

This is also kind of with Chappell Roan where’s she made it clear “when I’m off the job, I’m a regular person. You do not get to interact with her or know her. When I’m Chappell, then you can. Chappell is a persona and that’s it. It is a project and it is a story that you get to view.” That is a significantly better and healthier way for celebs to act as well as people to interact with them.

When they let themselves be viewed as stories, it was easier to relate the same way you relate to a character in a novel.

This is a lot but my point is: They tried to gain authenticity, and so they actually lost it. They tried to normalize themselves and therefore lost all actual normality.

Maybe this is a crazy take and doesn’t make sense but I don’t really care
