"We cannot continue on as before, though, teaching another generation to seek the slapstick in sex crimes and revel in conspiratorial thinking. We can’t keep picking and choosing whose abuse we’re willing to buy, turning support for survivors into a contest of whose abusers made the most beloved songs. We can’t let wealthy men treat everyone in the vicinity like chattel. There is no hit single worth degrading and violating another human being; hip-hop is 50 and old enough to know it."

ridiculously long list of things i’ve noticed about thomas grant and adam wadsworth’s portrayals of albus and scorpius

sorry in advance if this is messy, i wrote this at like 4am

albus flinches away when james steps too close to him!!!

when scorpius asks albus whether he prefers albus or al, he doesn’t have to think about his answer. instead he just looks shocked that someone was actually asking that, like nobody’s ever considered his feelings before. makes me feel like he’d been waiting his entire life for someone to actually ask him that.

tom’s albus doesn’t cry during the fight with harry like i’ve seen a lot of the other actors do. he just stares blankly ahead of him and completely shuts down. i’m head over heels in love with this choice because it really hammers home how hard it is for albus to express his feelings or communicate with anyone.

albus’s reaction to the love potion really really makes me believe that ron intended it to be a mean gay joke. even if ron didn’t intend for it to come across that way, that’s definitely what albus takes it as.

scorpius is just staring vacantly at a wall before he spots albus on the train in their 4th year. not sure if this is a specific acting choice or if i’m just reading into it too much?

they hold hands for a second and stand with their faces an inch away from each other as soon as they duck into their train compartment. their body language in private is so different from their body language in public.

albus squeezes his eyes closed when they hug. he really needed that physical affection but he hates anyone but scorpius being near him.

scorpius puts his hand on albus’s chest when the train starts moving. nothing to say about that its just really gay.

my favorite delivery of “oooo a quiz… WIZZO!!!” i fucking love how he does jazz hands when he says it, especially because it’s the second time he does jazz hands in that scene. he’s so me.

albus does so many little hand gestures in this scene, he’s way more comfortable being expressive around scorpius. he almost mirrors scorpius’s stupid little mannerisms.

bonus- not scorbus related but craig is first seen wearing his beanie on the train during the this sequence (where albus and scorpius decide to run away)!! idk if they don’t do this in other productions or if i just hadn’t ever picked up on it before, but it’s a really cute detail. does anyone know if he canonically got it when he became head boy?

when amos first tells them to leave, scorpius grabs onto albus’s sleeve

not even technically them but the ron and harry actors grab onto each other sooooo much (as albus and scorpius)

in love with how long scorpius hold out his “WIIIIIIIZZZOOOO” and how albus tries to match his energy with the “DOUBLE WIZZO”

delphi steals scorp’s little phrases and his awkward way of speaking and his mannerisms to try and appeal to albus because she knows that he reeeeally likes him- and i hate hate HATEEEE how she makes him feel like a freak for being himself when all the while she’s stealing his personality. scorpius plays with the fabric of his sweater and then fidgets with his hands after she tries to make him feel left out in the forbidden forest and i can FEEL what he’s feeling through the screen.

scorpius is JEALOUS jealous of delphi and when he talks to her his voice is quiet and monotone, which is the most un-scorpius thing ever. i love it. you can feel how much he hates her. i hate her too, this delphi is despicable. (very talented actress!!)

when scorpius tears his eyes away from the beautiful sight in front of them to look at albus and say “you’re my best friend” (which is crazy enough on its own) he talks in a really sweet, low voice before returning really quickly to his normal scorp-voice, as if he was afraid to let albus think about what had just happened

albus jumps up and down with excitement when they announce the triwizard tournament. he starts and then has to stop himself from cheering for hogwarts. funny that a guy who was just saying how much he hates hogwarts would do a thing like that.

everyone around scorpius gets startled when he starts cheering for krum because his screaming is so weird lmao

at the end of the scene where albus tells scorpius they’ll be better off without each other, scorpius just slumps over on the steps and stays there for the ENTIRETY of the next scene until he eventually gets wheeled off with the stairs. it looks like he’s fiddling with something? maybe his wand? maybe just his hands?

obviously the staircase ballet is the staircase ballet, but the way they look at each other is just AAAAUUUUGHHHHHHH

at the end of the ballet scorpius steps towards albus first, but albus is the one who reaches his hand out and slinks down onto the steps

obsessed with that gay little purse scorpius carries the time turner in

delphi gets scorpius to let his guard down during their conversation and scorpius starts talking like himself in front of her again!!!

albus does the little puke-gag-joke-thing in the library to try and make scorpius feel better </3

they’re both fidgeting with their hands throughout their whole conversation :(

ALBUS’S LITTLE GIGGLE WHEN SCORPIUS AGREES TO COME WITH HIM TO FIX TIME

this isn’t specific to this production but scorpius’s shoes are one of my favorite details. in the normal world, he wears big clunky shoes to showcase his awkwardness, whereas in the dark dimension he wears running shoes!! evil scorp is athletic!!!

the second “im fighting for albus” that comes out of scorpius’s mouth is said almost entirely to himself

their little hug in the water :,)

i LOVE LOVE LOVE that scorpius tries to hug draco and he pushes him away and throws his jacket at him in such a cold manner. it makes their hug near the end feel so much more important to their relationship. as soon as we meet scorpius he immediately refers to himself as having daddy issues and we don’t see nearly enough of that in this play.

bonus p2- one of my favorite parts of this show is the in trouble again number!!! i love the background gang and all of their little scenes like this. craig being a little gossip monger is funny as shit!!!! it gives him so much personality and makes his death that much sadder :(

the delivery of “scorpius….. he matters to me…. you know that don’t you?” is INSANE. tom grant delivers all of the coming out adjacent lines so perfectly.

i love how scorpius moves his body. he waves his arms around in the air so often.

scorpius tickled albus lmao they’re so weird

when scorpius talks about hating the other world, albus throws in “apart from polly chapman fancying you” quite bitterly and scorpius almost completely cuts him off. he doesn’t acknowledge what he said in any way shape or form and albus seems to notice that he’s not interested in polly.

scorpius rubs his socks on the floor while he talks :3

the choice to have scorpius move from his bed to albus’s bed and pull albus’s blanket into his lap when he tells him that he changed himself back for him is so AAAUGHHH

AND SCORPIUS DOES THE SAME THING THAT HE DID EARLIER AGAIN!!! he gets all quiet and sweet when he’s sort of admitting his feelings to albus and then all of a sudden he stands up and goes back to his normal loud voice

“MALFOY THE UNANXIOUS IS A PRRRRRETTY GOOD LIIIIAAAR”

delphi mocking scorpius and him immediately tensing up oh he hates her ass so much

scorpius reaches out to try and intercept albus handing delphi the time turner and albus giggles at scorpius because he’s happy she’s not extremely pissed at them

scorpius holds onto the railing right up until he gets his hands bound together because he’s afraid of heights. thought it was cute that adam chose to do this even though his fear of heights isn’t mentioned anywhere in this version.

i LOVE the torture scene in this version. albus is stone faced when delphi is threatening to torture him and then he IMMEDIATELY falls to his knees begging and pleading when she turns toward scorpius.

delphi is quite literally outing albus in this scene. the silence after she says that love is his weakness and points to scorpius is SO long and SO loud omg. it’s quite literally ten whole seconds (i counted) of albus and scorpius just looking at each other. it genuinely feels like she just spilled out what he’s been keeping inside of himself for so long, it’s gutwrenching. i guess they did just watch craig die so they do in fact have bigger problems, but you can see albus’s heart stop beating and its so terrible.

i love how albus turns to scorpius when the stationmaster starts unintelligibly talking to them like “hey, you’re doing the talking rn just so you know”

i’m obsessed with how excited scorpius is to tell albus all about the history of the place they’re in. in love with his little gasps at everything he sees and his jump when he says “SQUEAK!”

albus motioning for scorpius to stop when he’s demonstrating how to scream for help lmaoooo

albus pointing with both hands at scorpius while they try to come up with a plan is so cute. albus believes in him so much.

i love how scorpius keeps hugging draco even as he’s talking

their foreheads are literally brushing against each other my god these bitches gay

albus asks “and thats who you want in your palace?” in an almost panicked way like he’s afraid scorpius doesn’t feel the same way about him.

albus holds onto scorpius’s shoulders while rose tries to reassure them that they didn’t just get walked in on lmao

3rd and final instance of scorpius trying to change the subject- asking immediately about quidditch so albus doesn’t get the chance to say anything related to what just happened

scorpius says “come on” like he’s trying to get albus to come cut a rug with him at a middle school dance

obsessed with their little gagging and puking bit and how they made it a callback to what albus does in the library

maybe my favorite hug moment from any scorbus duo. i love how albus initially reacts with shock but then melts into it and closes his eyes, only pulling away to make sure he’s not reading the situation entirely wrong (he’s not)

my favorite ending scene by far. the coming out hits SO hard. the way albus fiddles with his zipper and scrunches up his sleeve in his hand, you can tell how absolutely terrified he is of saying this to his dad. the line delivery is genuinely fantastic. the more he pauses the longer you have to take it all in- and he pauses a LOT.

okie thanks for reading!!!!!

[rewritingcanon]

tell me two facts about yourself and i’ll give you a hp next gen character

[yannfredericks]

omg every time I see someone I don’t know referring to polly, karl, yann and craig as the gang I’m like !!!!!!!!!! that was me!!!!!! that was me guys this is so exciting!!!!!!! the gang the gang the gang!!!!! THE GANG!!!!

[honeybee2807]

Another silly poll

These are only the next gen characters present/mentioned in Cursed Child cuz I have limited options(Except Delphi cuz then she'd obviously win the poll)

[ellie-r2]

Headcanons for Polly Chapman, Yann Fredericks, Karl Jenkins, Sophia Barclay and Craig Bowker Jr.?

okay so

Polly hcs:

bi and poly

She's in a relationship with Yann but is also crushing on Rose and Yann knows this and supports her (shoutout to @yannfredericks for this because I didn't know Polly and Yann were together but I love them)

Eventually she tells Rose in 5th year and she's in a relationship with both Rose and Yann

After being with Rose her and the gang try making amends and apologising to Albus and Scorpius (Scorpius takes a while to forgive them but eventually does while Albus doesn't forgive them but still accepts her and Rose)

She's not on the quidditch team but she goes to every game for Rose and Yann

She doesn't like the long skirts of the uniform so she cut it short before the start of every school year (totally not because her actress does quick changes)

Favourite class is charms and less favourite is potions and herbology

She plans on going into journalism for her career after hogwarts and try to work for the daily prophet

Yann hcs:

Bi

In a relationship with Polly and only friends with Rose

Is on the quidditch team and plays chaser as well

His favourite classes are Quidditch and DADA and his least favourite is transfiguration (it's too complicated for him)

His grandparents were attacked by Voldemort's followers which is why it was so easy for him to hate Scorpius even though it's not his fault and he only hated Albus for associating with Scorpius

Plans on doing professional quidditch

Karl hcs:

mlm

He also really admired Harry as a child and his admiration was similar to Scorpius' in a way where he wanted to have adventures like harry potter but hoped it would be with his son. So when Albus got sorted into Slytherin he resented him and joined the bullying but felt slightly bad because he knows Albus doesn't deserve it.

After that he joins Polly and Yann's group with Rose and asks Rose for stories about her parents and she happily gives them.

He joined care for magical creatures and is planning on being a Magizoologist (it's also his favourite class)

I genuinely do not know who Sophia is I am so so sorry

Craig hcs (i love him so much rip king):

Definitely suspects something is going on between Albus and Scorpius and when Draco said they were in the girls bathroom he definitely thought "yeah that checks out" but didn't tell anyone so the boys wouldn't be bullied even more

He's a year older than the boys but also skipped 2 years because he was really committed to finishing school early (rip sorry craig) which is why we see him as Head Boy also explains him being in slytherin for his ambition

Dark world Craig was definitely crushing on good!Scorpius

Dark world Craig did not skip ahead and was in 5th year

His favourite class was potions and he planned on being a healer or sell healing potions because his father was also sick so he understood what Scorpius was going through with his mother

The beanie was a gift from his dad which is why he never takes it off also he just likes how it feels

He did NOT participate in the bullying but also didn't stop it he did however try to lessen any rumours about Scorpius' parentage

He was friends with James Sirius and when James invited him over he didn't go which is why Harry didn't know much about him

[shrimpalbuspotter]

Do you have any health hcs for the next gen? Can be Both Mental health and physical health, (you can include stuff like autism and ADHD as well)

I refuse to let characters be fine and dandy so i have LOTS. I'm a bit too tired to go in depth, so I'll just name characters and what hc I have for them afterwards. If characters aren't on here it's purposefully because I have no hcs for them. Or maybe I just forgot... I TOTTALLYYY don't project on certain characters. These aren't things I made up on spot either I've genuinely wrote these down before and forgot to ever post about it. THANKS FOR REMINDER

Bone Tomahawk (2015, dir. S. Craig Zahler) - review by Rookie-Critic

Bone Tomahawk was gruesome. Like, there's some incredibly graphic stuff in this movie. There were times when it didn't feel like I was watching a western. Actually quite a few horror elements in it, which was surprising. I thought that the acting was good and the suspense and practical effects were incredible. If you can stomach the more brutal aspects of it I'd say it's worth a watch.

Score: 7/10
