HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS – The Musical

Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham, Tuesday 3rd December, 2019

  Dr Seuss’s Christmas classic is given the Broadway treatment in this vibrant musical version by Timothy Mason (book and lyrics) with music by Mel Marvin.  As the years pass, I feel a growing affinity with the Grinch, a hermit-like, curmudgeonly Scrooge of a creature who begrudges the simple…

Preview- The Wind in the Willows (Bluray)

1983’s The Wind in the Willows – The Original Movie won a BAFTA for ‘Best Children’s Programme’ as well as an international Emmy Award and set the template for the subsequent hugely successful TV show which ran for 52 episodes on ITV from 1984 to 1988. Toad decides that motor cars are the only way to travel, however his driving skills don’t match up to his enthusiasm. Ratty, Mole and Badger come…

oooooo, do u have any sources for researching the world building contents for deap sea? and traditional/cultural history in general? I've always been more military history inclined, and unfortunately ive found researching history which focuses more on cultural and sociological aspects kind of difficult:(

oh boy resources for researching deep sea... i read/watched so much that it took me a hot second to remember just where i got everything from. i'll break this down into three sections. general maiko/geisha knowledge, videos, and exploration of japanese cultural elements/history. the stuff in italics are either journal articles or from books that i’m able to access because i’ve got my college library, so i’m not entirely sure how it’d work for everyone else... i hope it’s possible to still find a way to read them for free though. 

general maiko/geisha knowledge

about geisha names (geimei/or geimyô)

general geisha facts

differences between geisha/maiko/geiko

geisha history

hairstyles of geisha/maiko

teaching geisha in history, fiction, and fantasy by jan bardsley

videos

interview with a maiko

an erikae (the graduation of a maiko becoming a geisha)

japanese tea ceremony

ikebana

(i watched a lot of interviews with geisha and maiko to try and understand their perspective of things, unfortunately, that was over a month ago so i can't find everything hjtrkgme there are a lot on youtube though!)

japanese culture/history

tea ceremony

traditional japanese dance (nihon buyo)

the traditional colors of japan

an introduction to shinto

japanese mythology in film: a semiotic approach to reading japanese film and anime by yoshiko okuyama

since i come from a heavily western perspective, i wanted to be mindful of writing maiko darling’s worldview and the worldview of the people around her in a way that makes sense in an eastern setting. i found leading with cultural intelligence: the new secret to success by david livermore to help in these areas (although i’m sure i haven’t/won’t get it completely perfect). while the book is more about enhancing leadership skills, it gave some valuable insight into understanding aspects of culture. stuff like cultural systems, value orientations, and verbal/nonverbal elements of communication, for example.

Includes the encore performance featuring 17 Valjeans from various productions. Les Misérables - 25th Anniversary Concert Live At The O2 - October 3, 2010 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alfie Boe (Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Katie Hall (Cosette), Nick Jonas (Marius), Samantha Barks (Éponine), Ramin Karimloo (Enjolras), Matt Lucas (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Robert Madge (Gavroche), Mia Jenkins (Little Cosette), Earl Carpenter (The Bishop), Hadley Fraser (Grantaire), Jonathan Williams (Combeferre), Owain Williams (Feuilly), Killian Donnelly (Courfeyrac), Alistair Brammer (Jean Prouvaire), Jamie Muscato (Joly), Edward Baruwa (Lesgles), Phil Snowden (Brujon), Stephen Tate (Babet), Tony Timberlake (Claquesous), Keith Burns (Montparnasse), Jeff Nicholson (Factory Foreman), Grainne Renihan (Factory Girl), Valda Aviks (Crone), Cameron Blakely (Bamatabois), Peter Polycarpou (Pimp) Les Misérables - Asia Tour - June 2, 2016 (Highlights) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Simon Gleeson (Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Patrice Tipoki (Fantine), Emily Langridge (Cosette), Paul Wilkins (Marius), Kerrie Anne Greenland (Éponine), Chris Durling (Enjolras), David McDonald (Thénardier), Jennifer Butt (Madame Thénardier), Austyn Myers (Gavroche), Rachel Schier (Little Cosette) NOTES: On My Own, Upon These Stones, Bring Him Home and two angles of the same One Day More Les Misérables - Dallas - August 2, 2014 (SJ Bernly's master) FORMAT:  VOB (no smalls) (SD) CAST: Nehal Joshi (Jean Valjean), Edward Watts (Javert), Allison Blackwell (Fantine), Dorcas Leung (Cosette), Justin Keyes (Marius), Elizabeth Judd (Éponine), John Campione (Enjolras), Steven Michael Walters (Thénardier), Christia Mantzke (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: A great capture of Dallas Theatre Center’s inventively staged production of Les Miserables. The much-talked about production did not disappoint; the modernized visuals create many new layers to the show, and make you think about events and characters in a whole new way. Nehal, Allison, Justin, and Christia were probably my favorites, but the entire cast is so talented, it’s difficult to choose any as standouts. A very nice capture overall. There are a couple quick dropouts in act one, but no major blackouts. There is one head that can be seen occasionally, but it only blocks a small portion of the stage and only affects the action for about 20-30 seconds of the entire show. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent as usual. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. Les Misérables - Duisburg - 1996 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Jerzy Jeszke (Jean Valjean), Hardy Rudolz (Javert), Cornelia Drese (Fantine), Deborah Dutcher (Cosette), Felix Martin (Marius), Sanni Luis (Éponine), Martin Berger (Enjolras), Tom Zahner (Thénardier), Anne Welte (Madame Thénardier), Willi Welp (The Bishop) Les Misérables - Dutch Revival - Spring, 2008 FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: René van Kooten (Jean Valjean), Wim van den Driessche (Javert), Nurlaila Karim (Fantine), Suzan Seegers (Cosette), Jamai Loman (Marius), Céline Purcell (Éponine), Freek Bartels (Enjolras), Gerben Grimmius (u/s Thénardier), Marjolein Algera (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Complete show, Amateur capture A, Double dvd Les Misérables - Fifth National Tour - October 5, 2018 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Nick Cartell (Jean Valjean), Josh Davis (Javert), Mary Kate Moore (Fantine), Jillian Butler (Cosette), Joshua Grosso (Marius), Paige Smallwood (Éponine), Matt Shingledecker (Enjolras), J Anthony Crane (Thénardier), Allison Guinn (Madame Thénardier), Sam Middleton (Gavroche), Cate Elefante (u/s Little Cosette), Matt Moisey (Grantaire), Monte J Howell (Combeferre), Tim Quartier (s/w Feuilly), Christopher Viljoen (Courfeyrac), Patrick Rooney (Jean Prouvaire), Gabriel Sidney Brown (Joly), Andrew Maughan (Lesgles), Felipe Barbosa Bombonato (Babet), John Ambrosino (Claquesous), Steve Czarnecki (Factory Foreman), Ashley Dawn Mortensen (Factory Girl), John Ambrosino (Bamatabois) Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - November 11, 2006 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Victor Hawks (u/s Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Celia Keenan-Bolger (Éponine), Aaron Lazar (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Jacob Levine (Gavroche), Drew Sarich (Grantaire) NOTES: A nice capture here of Victor as Valjean. The capture is a little on the dark side, but still enjoyable. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - February 17, 2007 FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Celia Keenan-Bolger (Éponine), Drew Sarich (u/s Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Jacob Levine (Gavroche) NOTES: A really nice video of the first broadway revival. Widescreen. Cleaned up nicely in remastering. And it has Sarich. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - May 12, 2007 (Matinee) (jstarz's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Drew Sarich (u/s Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Mandy Bruno (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier), Stephen Trafton (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Filmed in widescreen (though encoded in 4:3, so there are bars at the top and bottom of the screen), this is a nice capture of some of the new cast members. Drew and Ann give great performances in their roles. The second disc also includes the first 15 minutes of the February 24, 2007 Evening show, filmed from the rear right orchestra. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - June 1, 2007 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Ben Davis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Marissa McGowan (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - August 24, 2007 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Drew Sarich (Jean Valjean), Robert Hunt (Javert), Nikki Renée Daniels (u/s Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Megan McGinnis (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Chip Zien (Thénardier), Becca Ayers (u/s Madame Thénardier), Brian D'Addario (Gavroche) NOTES: Some nice closeups/mediums. A nice capture of the new cast. Capture can be dark at times, but mostly in the darker scenes. Includes a technical difficulty when the Barricades first come out, the show is stopped and includes the announcement.. A- Les Misérables - Fourth UK & Ireland Tour - January, 2019 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Killian Donnelly (Jean Valjean), Nic Greenshields (Javert), Katie Hall (Fantine), Bronwen Hanson (Cosette), Harry Apps (Marius), Tegan Bannister (Éponine), Will Richardson (Enjolras), Martin Ball (Thénardier), Sophie-Louise Dann (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - Hollywood Bowl - August 9, 2008 FORMAT:  WMV (HD) CAST: J Mark McVey (Jean Valjean), Brian Stokes Mitchell (Javert), Melora Hardin (Fantine), Michele Maika (Cosette), John Lloyd Young (Marius), Lea Michele (Éponine), Tom Lowe (Enjolras), Sage Ryan (Gavroche) NOTES: J. Mark McVey, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Lea Michele, Melora Hardin, John Lloyd Young, Michele Maika, Michael McCormick, Tom Lowe, Ruth Williamson. Juni's master filmed in widescreen and can be a little shakey at times in tight zooms. Nice to see the audience version compared to the Proshot one. A- Les Misérables - Japan - 1997

FORMAT: video |  TRADER'S NOTES: Looking for a replacement link CAST: Yuichiro Yamaguchi (Jean Valjean), Mayo Kawasaki (Javert), Hiromi Iwasaki (Fantine), Yu Hayami (Cosette), Kazukata Ishii (Marius), Minako Honda (Éponine), Kojiro Oka (Enjolras), Yukio Yamagata (Thénardier), Bibari Maeda (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Yamaguchi’s first of fourteen year as Valjean.

Les Misérables - Paris - 1991 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Robert Marien (Jean Valjean), Patrick Rocca (Javert), Marie Zamora (Cosette), Jérôme Pradon (Marius), Stéphanie Martin (Éponine), Julien Combey (Enjolras), Laurent Gendron (Thénardier), Marie-France Roussel (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Act 1 + finale of act 2. This is 100% NOT Louise Pitre playing Fantine Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 1, 2014 (Preview) (Highlights) (where is your red schaaaf's master) FORMAT:  MOV (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Gaten Matarazzo (Gavroche) NOTES: First preview. It includes most of the show. Loud excited audience. Blind shot from stage right third row, with no zooms. Keala Settle sprained her ankle at some point between The Robbery and One Day More, resulting in her not being in One Day More and using a cane during Wedding Chorale/Beggars at the Feast. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 8, 2014 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche) NOTES: Audience was full of excitement! The last 20 seconds are missing from the very end due to battery issues Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - August 21, 2014 (SJ Bernly's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Nathaniel Hackmann (u/s Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche), Mia Sinclair Jenness (Little Cosette), Angeli Negron (Young Éponine), Adam Monley (The Bishop) NOTES: A fantastic capture of this lavish production. It’s refreshing to see different faces in the lead roles, and both Nathaniel and Earl carry the show well. Nathaniel’s vocals are powerful and he has a great rapport with Caissie and Samantha. A lovely capture overall with no obstruction. Look Down is mostly blacked out and there are a couple quick dropouts during The Bishop scene and Lovely Ladies, but the show is otherwise fully intact. There is also some washout in high contrast wide shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - July 1, 2015 FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), John Rapson (u/s Javert), Erika Henningsen (Fantine), Melissa Mitchell (u/s Cosette), Chris McCarrell (Marius), Brennyn Lark (Éponine), Wallace Smith (Enjolras), Gavin Lee (Thénardier), Rachel Izen (Madame Thénardier), Sam Chuck (Gavroche), Joe Spieldenner (Grantaire), Weston Wells Olson (s/w Combeferre) NOTES: Act I begins at "The Runaway Cart" and nearly complete Act II.

Definitely a different performance too.  

Les Misérables - Third UK (25th Anniversary) Tour - June 20, 2010 (thewho's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: John Owen-Jones (Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Madalena Alberto (Fantine), Katie Hall (Cosette), Luke Kempner (u/s Marius), Rosalind James (Éponine), Jon Robyns (Enjolras), Ashley Artus (Thénardier), Lynne Wilmott (Madame Thénardier), Jordi Clark (Gavroche), David Lawrence (The Bishop), Adam Linstead (Grantaire), David Covey (Combeferre), Owain Williams (Feuilly), Christopher Jacobsen (Courfeyrac), Rhidian Marc (Joly), David Lawrence (Lesgles), Carl Mullaney (Claquesous), Carl Mullaney (Bamatabois) NOTES: Act 1 starts at At The End of the Day, Act 2 starts at Drink with me. okay quality though blurry and shaky throughout. Les Misérables - Third UK (25th Anniversary) Tour - September 17, 2010 (thewho's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Christopher Jacobsen (u/s Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Madalena Alberto (Fantine), Katie Hall (Cosette), Gareth Gates (Marius), Rosalind James (Éponine), Jon Robyns (Enjolras), Ashley Artus (Thénardier), Lynne Wilmott (Madame Thénardier), David Lawrence (The Bishop), Adam Linstead (Grantaire), David Covey (Combeferre), Owain Williams (Feuilly), Peter Manchester (u/s Courfeyrac), Jamie Muscato (Jean Prouvaire), Rhidian Marc (Joly), David Lawrence (Lesgles), Luke Kempner (Montparnasse) NOTES: Barbican Center Theatre, London. First time in history two same productions of a major musical played in the same city. Les Misérables - West End - May 9, 1987 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Martin Smith (u/s Jean Valjean), Clive Carter (Javert), Kathleen Rowe McAllen (Fantine), Jacinta Mulcahy (Cosette), Maurice Clarke (u/s Marius), Jayne Draper (Éponine), Martin George (Enjolras), David Delve (Thénardier), Myra Sand (Madame Thénardier), Cameron Stewart (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Commonly mistaken as December 28, 1988! Martin Smith was part of the West End cast for 6 months starting December 1986, and the non-circulated first-generation DVD labels the date as 1987/05/09. Les Misérables - West End - December 28, 1991 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Stig Rossen (Jean Valjean), Paul Leonard (Javert), Jenna Russell (Fantine), Sarah Jane Hassell (Cosette), Daryll Winslow (Marius), Meredith Braun (Éponine), Mike Sterling (u/s Enjolras), David Hampshire (u/s The Bishop), Amanda Dainty (u/s Factory Girl) NOTES: Black and white. Audio is nice and clear. A more rare color version does exist. (Proof: https://youtu.be/KI_KHnLwk_k) Les Misérables - West End - May 6, 2006 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Tim Godwin (u/s Jean Valjean), Cornell John (Javert), Kerry Ellis (Fantine), Julia Möller (Cosette), Hayden Tee (Marius), AJ Callaghan (u/s Éponine), Nolan Dark (u/s Enjolras), Barry James (Thénardier), Tracie Bennett (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Taper’s comments: Amanda and Nolan are better than the principles and Tim sounds uncannily like JOJ (Home Counties accent not-withstanding). He first understudied in 1999, when JOJ was the principal, which may explain the similarity. About half of the Chain Gang song missing and filming starts in earnest during Valjean on parole. Other parts missed because of ushers include several random one-second cover-ups, part of the wedding and about half of Finale. Heads in the way sometimes block the action on the lower right of the stage, but they are shot around well. Vantage point provides some interesting views such as of Fantine during Lovely Ladies. Wonderful performances from the entire cast but especially then soon-to-be-Elphaba Kerry Ellis. Les Misérables - West End - September 19, 2013 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), James Gant (u/s Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Ilan Galkoff (Gavroche), Caoimhe Judd (Little Cosette) Les Misérables - West End - June 14, 2014 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), Tam Mutu (Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Dougie Carter (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Carl Mullaney (Grantaire) NOTES: Final performance of the 2013/14 cast Les Misérables - West End - July 9, 2015 (Highlights) (musicalmania123's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Peter Lockyer (Jean Valjean), Jeremy Secomb (Javert), Rachelle Ann Go (Fantine), Zoe Doano (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Bradley Jaden (Enjolras), Phil Daniels (Thénardier), Katy Secombe (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Highlights only.

[mercysought]

romantic headcanons.

name: francesca moritz “moe” bardsley  

alias: moe

gender: cis woman ( she / her )

sexual orientation:  lesbian 

preferred pet names: she’s fine with whatever her partner wants to call her, she’s more used to no one using really pet names. Usually it’s just a variation of her name, though likely focusing on her first name instead of her middle one since the former is more personal. Mori, Franks, it’s all good.

relationship status: single pringle ready to mingle

opinion on true love: she doesn’t really spend much time thinking about this. She believes that there is likely someone that she will be able to settle down with (or rather, have them travel around with her while she works) for the rest of her life and that’s the extent of true love that Moe really thinks about.

opinion on love at first sight: hmmm nah, though she can become stupid at first sight trying to impress someone. 

how ‘romantic’ are they?: moe is pretty romantic, yeah. She likes to send messages reminding her girl that she’s fucking amazing. Getting her gifts (both ones that she got and one’s that she steals). I think that the best way to show about romance is basically to use something that she has done (or will do) in one of the ships that I have with @forceblinded​: Rein is blind and Moe is non-verbal which makes communication outside of messaging really hard. Despite not liking it, Moe works on a device that allows her voice to be verbalized and improves it to the point where the tone is more human than just a bunch of disjointed vocals that she usually uses out on jobs. That is a lot of work, planning, material gathering ok? That is dedication especially since she would have done this and she wouldn’t even know if Rein likes girls I mean! Moe is pretty damn romantic.

ideal physical traits:  Moe really isn’t picky. I think, from the track record, it has to do more with attitude than necessarily anything physical. This being said, she does pay attention to their voice and I think that’s likely the first thing that can pull her in. If you can count that as physical lmao track record also indicates that the women that she’s with tend to have slimmer frames than she does (That doesn’t mean a whole lot since Moe is built like a tank, we love that for her)

ideal personality traits: focused and passionate. I mean someone that knows exactly what they want, where they want to go and are passionate about it. Even that causes trouble for her because she might disagree. Not necessarily something that’s she’s aware of per se, but someone that is more grounded than Moe is. Most of her enhancements / prosthetics (see: crushed knee, see crushed fingers and lower half of her arm) are because she got fucking impatient and some dumb shit happened.

unattractive physical traits: eh, not much tbh. I think that she doesn’t particularly like too many body mods that alter one’s face, but honestly again, physically Moe isn’t that picky.

unattractive personality traits: my god uptightness can drive her up the walls. That and thinking you’re the hottest shit without anything to back it up (example: ‘I want to do x because I say I want to and because I am great.’ meanwhile you’ve never left the confines of your estate before). Uninterested or wilfully ignorant and unwilling to learn.

do they have a type?:  probably women that will stop her on her tracks as she’s about to do something stupid and WILL FIGHT HER.

average relationship length: hmmm because of the nature of her work (a bounty-hunter) she just jumps a lot from place to place so she tends to have very short lived romances. The people she often comes across are also not interested in actual relationships and it’s a pity because Moe really would do the long distance thing for the right person. Moe falls in love really easily but can fall out of it just as easily. The only relationship that she had that was out of norm length wise was with a human who was a sex worker in one of the planets in the outer-rim. It lasted around one year before they parted ways. Most relationships really are one night stands.

opinion of public affection:  chef kiss, give it all to her. let her hold your hand, the lower back.

past relationships?: mentioned above! Otherwise most relationships are pretty loose and could barely be called that. She has fun though, and she likes the women.

favourite canon ship: don’t have one! If it’s unrelated to Moe I will say that the side ship that me and @mindsmade​ had was of David (Moe’s younger brother) and Gil (when he still had it in the roster). As it stands now it’s a ship that happens like Dorian and Bull if you don’t romance either of them in DA you know? Otherwise, in the Star Wars universe my brain is empty except for the tragic romance of Darth Malgus and Eleena. Because I am dumb.

favourite non-canon ship: listen non-canon ships are canon in my book as well and I will fight you.

Well that was a fucking rollercoaster… :)

3-0 for the England Lionesses

England almost lost their lead around the 60th minute

Defence still needs a lot of work. Mainly Millie Bright; maybe it’s the flu or maybe it’s not…

Bardsley looked sluggish in between, though she maintained good positioning and made some decent saves. Let’s hope it’s not an injury….

All England players performned brilliantly. But Lucy Bronze and Steph Houghton were the MVPs. Dear god that absolute screamer from Bronze and her direct involvement in all of England’s attacks brought a finess that only the World’s best right back can. And Houghton made two very crucial saves, saving her team’s necks if you ask me. Always ready to tidy up the mistakes. And thank god for that.

Maybe if Norway had brought in those subs a little earlier, the scoreline would’ve been different… 🤷

But really, they got enough chances off of England’s terrible clearances and drowsy defence… And still they failed to make them count.

Obviously feeling sad for Norway, as you do when a good team gets knocked out. England wholly deserved the win.

Thorisdottir should’ve been more careful with her markings and fouls. The attacking 3 combined well for Norway but, again, failed to score…

Now THIS was the England performance that got me excited to watch them in the world cup. If they keep up this momentum while managing to improve their passing accuracy, and solidify their defence… They might have a solid chance of beating France/USA and maybe even winning it all…. Maybe

All in all a very entertaining game. Wasn’t expecting England to sail through the quarters so easily given their previous performances, but they came through….

Let’s hope this continues 🤞 lol

Also, it was so nice to see David Beckham coming to support the Lionesses. We love a supportive legend💪❤️

Three women sue, alleging sexual assault by Correctional Service guard

OTTAWA -- Three women who say they were sexually assaulted by a prison guard have launched a lawsuit against the federal correctional service.

The alleged assaults are said to have happened at the Nova Institution for Women, a multi-level facility in Truro, N.S. -- one of six federal corrections facilities for women across Canada.

Halifax lawyer Mike Dull said Wednesday that two of the three women are still serving time, adding that police were called in within the last two months and a criminal investigation is underway.

Dull said two of the women filed complaints with the prison more recently, triggering an internal investigation and the guard's resignation.

Truro Police Chief David MacNeil confirmed Wednesday that his service launched a sexual assault investigation at the Nova Institution on March 28.

"As this is an open and active investigation, we can't comment any further at this time," he said in a statement.

In response to the lawsuit, the director of advocacy and legal issues for the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies, Savannah Gentile, called the women "incredibly brave" for coming forward, adding the "fear of reprisal" is a common and founded fear in prison.

"For decades advocates have fought to keep male guards out of women's prisons, and in the very least off the front lines, knowing the increased risk it poses to women prisoners," she said.

"These women are carrying the bulk of the load in order to call us to action, and as a country, we have to step up."

Emma Halpern, the executive director of the organization for mainland Nova Scotia, said the women "suffered egregious harm at the hands of a predator who operated without reprisal, for many years, within one of our government institutions."

A spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said the government cannot comment on court cases but stressed the minister expects the Correctional Service of Canada to ensure all allegations of sexual assault are thoroughly investigated.

"Ensuring the safety and security of federal institutions, staff, victims and public is the correctional system's highest priority," said Scott Bardsley, Goodale's manager of media and communications.

"Sexual assaults are a criminal and an institutional offence, and cannot be tolerated in correctional facilities."

“Look Down,” Powderham Castle Concert, 2004. David Bardsley as Enjolras, Ramin Karimloo as Marius, unknown Gavroche.

A strong rendition by an excellent Gavroche, a rising star Marius, an Enjolras with a powerful, ringing voice if not the most gorgeous timbre, and what sounds like an outstanding ensemble.
