@darkwitch1999 Hey witch, concerning the AUs, what Noelle and Devin be in the Class of Heroes and Class of Villains AU? How about the Monstrous youth AUs?

Never really put much thought into who would be in Class of Heroes or Villains (not even sure which characters are left that aren’t already taken). If they don’t have to be from a movie and they can be from TV shows, I definitely see Devin as Amity from Owl House in the Class of Heroes.

Devity (Devin/Amity) would be the only child of Chandler Blight (Chandler Nolan) and would strive to be the best and at the top of everything to please his mother, knowing fully well what fate would entail for him if he were ever to fall short of his mother's expectations or even dare to defy her. Unlike Amity, Devity would not have a father or older siblings for support, meaning that he would have to deal with his mother controlling his life alone.

As for Noelle, I can see her as Lilo from Lilo and Stitch. She would be older than Lilo and much more "weird" than Lilo. Like Lilo, she is also alienated from her peer group due to her love of horror and gore, which has also led to her getting bullied by a group of four girls her age. Honestly, I think the Parisian Mean Girl quartet would be perfect for Mertle Edmonds and her friends. I can totally see Nilo or Lielle practicing voodoo on them like Lilo did in that one scene.

As for the villains AU, I can see Devin as the sorcerer Mozenrath and Noelle as Randall Boggs.

In an alternate universe, I can imagine that as an evil villain, Devinrath would be more sinister, openly expressing his delight in watching others suffer, and like Mozenrath and Devin separately, would be scholarly with their vast knowledge of magic. His mother would have been the one who taught him magic up until the point when Devinrath decided to usurp her power and her throne when he felt that the woman had nothing left to teach him.

Noelle Boggs is someone I can imagine being a chameleon-like humanoid who takes immense satisfaction in scaring humans of all ages (children aren't enough to satisfy her desire to strike fear into those "weaker" than her. She'll scare teens and adults and she is amazing at it, especially if when scaring the elderly close to death).

Now for the Monstrous Youths, I would say that Devin would most likely be a vampire from a prestigious family and Noelle would be a boogeyman (for obvious reasons). I would say in this AU they would retain most of their personality traits from their Darkverse counterparts (my fandom universe). The only real differences to their characters would be their monstrous forms and powers.

[toxinoire]

Basically, Veronica listing down when she learned she can see ghosts, denying that fact and finally accepting it.

Anne Boleyn and K Howard make an appearance.

~~~~

Veronica tapped her pen on the table, trying to drown out the noise Kurt and Ram are making by messing with her shelves while JD and Heather Chandler stop them.

She's been able to see ghosts for as long as she can remember, and she's been in denial of that fact until Heather. So she decided to finally pinpoint it all. She's written every key moment down as if it's a "5 + 1" fanfiction.

Contrary to how people depict ghosts, Veronica knows that they can in fact, touch things.

The ruckus in her room is a good example.

And Ram tossing her hat to her face.

Anyway-

It started at age 4, when her and her parents Nicolas and Evangeline Sawyer (my au obvs) were returning home from a vacation in France.

They were in the air at one point then the plane started to shake. Then it crashed.

Veronica opened her eyes to see herself standing in the hallway of a hospital, she can tell by the nurse talking to her grandfather Samuel Sawyer and uncle Edmond O'Reilly, her mom's older brother. She called out to them. "Grandpa! Uncle Eddie!"

No response.

She called them again. "Grandpa? Uncle?"

Once again, no response.

She's wondering why they're ignoring her. Then, someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see an old woman, who looks like she's in her seventies with gray her and blue eyes. "Hello there." She said in a soft tone as she kneeled down so she could be at Veronica's eye level. "What's your name?"

"Veronica Sawyer." She answered.

"Hello Veronica. I'm Tatiana Roberts." Said Tatiana. "What are you doing? And why do you look upset?" Although, she has her guesses.

"My grandpa and uncle are ignoring me." Veronica answered in a said voice.

Tatiana gaze softens even more, knowing well that this child is in a coma, and is currently a coma ghost. She doesn't want to let her know that, nor the fact that Tatiana herself is already an actual ghost who died during surgery. "Hey, there's a park here in the hospital. Do you want to hang out with me and my friends for a little while?"

Being four, of course she agreed. "Okay! But what about my grandpa and uncle?"

"I'm sure they'll talk to you soon." Said Tatiana. "Come on."

Tatiana learned that it was good that she did that when she did, otherwise Veronica would have heard the nurse tell her family members that her parents were awake and she was still unconscious.

Later at the park, she meets two other people. A married couple (who died a few minutes after arriving to the hospital after a car crash) who looked like they were in their early thirties. Hector Kane, a man with brown hair with some blue tips and brown eyes, and his wife Claudine Kane, a woman with blonde hair and green eyes.

"How did you two fall in love?" Asked Veronica.

Hectore chuckled. "Why do you want to know?"

"Because my mom told me that people fall in love differently. I want to know how you and Miss Claudine did!"

The couple laughed at the child's curiosity. "She's a little girl, I'm sure she'd like a story." Said Tatiana.

"Okay okay." Said Claudine. "We met in high school. But we weren't classmates. He was my big sister's classmate and is part of her friend group."

"We didn't talk much at the time but then we became teammates in the chess varsity team." Said Hector.

"What's a varsity team?"

"For schools, it's a team of people that can play sports."

"But isn't chess a board game?"

Claudine chuckled. "Well yes, but many consider it a sport too."

"Cool. So you fell in love because you were teammates?" Asked Veronica. The couple nodded. "That's awesome!"

"Yeah, Claudine is super good at chess." Said Hector as he grinned at his wife. "We would always compete against each other during training. She would always do think little thing with her hand whenever she won against me. And then I fell in love with her."

"Sap." Said Claudine.

Then, Veronica saw her hand blur. "Why is my hand blurry?"

Tatiana, Hector and Claudine see it too. They've been in this hospital long enough to know what this means...

Veronica is about to wake up.

"Your hand isn't blurry." Said Tatiana. "Maybe you're just sleepy."

"Yeah, go to sleep for a little okay? Maybe you'll see your mom and dad when you wake up." Said Claudine.

"Okay..."

Veronica did fall asleep after a while and when she woke up, her grandfather and uncle were at her bedside and her parents were in two beds near hers. She looks around to look for Tatiana, Hector and Claudine. They're nowhere to be found.

Until she sees them later that night.

"That's where it started." Muttered Veronica as she finished writing that down. She chuckles as realizes that her seeing them after waking up explains the shocked expression on their faces when she waved to them that night.

She then wrote down the next one.

After that, she knew she's always seen more people in the house but she didn't think much of it and usually ignored them. However, when she was six years old, that's when she finally acknowledged those presences.

She was in the dining room reading a fairy tale, alone, everyone is either in the living room or upstairs.

"Ow." She heard someone mutter.

She looked up to see a man on the other end of the table who looks like he's in his late twenties, and looks a lot like her dad with his facial features and light brown hair. Only difference is the eye color.

"Excuse me sir? Are you okay?" Veronica asked.

His head whipped towards her. "Wha- yeah I'm fine...can you..?" He sits pulls a seat and sits down. "Can you see me?"

Veronica nods, confused on why he's asking this.

"Oh...okay."

"I'm Veronica. What's your name?" She asks.

"I-I know your name, we uh...live in the same house. I'm Louis. Louis Saywer."

"Saywer? Cool, are we related?" Asked Veronica.

Louis nods. "Yeah actually..."

"How come my mom and dad don't talk to you?"

"Uh..." He nervously tugs at his sleeve, how was he supposed to explain that he's her father's older brother who died after someone broke in the house because he was the one in here when she was born and they still haven't found his body to a six year old? "They are too busy sometimes, so we don't always talk."

"Oh. So you do talk to them?"

He chokes out an answer. "Yeah..."

Veronica nodded. "Okay. Since we're related, can I call you uncle then?"

Louis relaxed and nodded. He knows that one day he'll have to explain this to Veronica, but not now.

He didn't have the heart to tell her.

"PUT THAT DOWN!" Heather yelled.

Kurt, holding up Veronica's sweater and swinging it like a banshee, laughs and answers "NOPE!"

"BITCH!" Yelled JD.

"Says the murderer." Ram retorted, who's also doing the same thing with another sweater.

Veronica sighs at the behavior of the four as she writes down the next one...when she realized she sees ghosts and tried to deny it.

Age 8, that's when Veronica realized, when she saw a picture of her dad and her uncle Louis and her dad explains he's dead.

"Ronnie..." Louis tried to get her to calm down.

Veronica didn't calm down.

"But...But I can see you! How are you dead?"

Louis sighed. "Veronica...I'm a ghost."

Veronica freezes as her eyes widen in shock.

He continued. "The other people you see here, they're also dead. It's why your parents don't talk to us, they can't see us. But for some reason, you can."

Veronica shook her head. "No...no you guys are probably just my imagination. Imaginary friends."

"V-" Louis cut himself off, he knew Veronica was stubborn, so he just stopped. "Believe what you want. You'll have to accept this one day."

Veronica just turned around.

He sighs again. "I'll leave you be. I'll talk to you soon."

Present day Veronica chuckled at her own words.

"Hello!? Veronica? Aren't you gonna make them stop or are you just gonna write there?" Said Heather.

"Heather, leave her be." Said JD.

"I'll help out later."

"Ugh fine." Said Heather.

The next one Veronica wrote down is a little crazy, but she still tried to deny it at the time.

Age 13, her parents took her to London, to fricking Hampton Court, because she had a hyperfixation on Tudor history at the time.

Her parents let her explore on her own. She is totally fine with that, it makes it easy to go check out stuff.

Then she heard sniffles.

Being the person she is, she went to see who was crying. Then she-

Holy crap is that a teenager in a fancy garment WITH BLOOD DRIPPING DOWN HER NECK?!

IS THAT ANOTHER PERSON WITH BLOOD DRIPPING DOWN HER NECK WHO LOOKS LIKE SHE'S IN HER MID THIRTIES NEXT TO HER?!

"Uh..." She mutters. "Is everything okay?"

Both girls turn to her.

"You see us?" Asked the older one.

Veronica nods. "Y-Yeah..."

"Oh. What is your name child?"

"Veronica Sawyer..."

She nods. "Katherine, kindly greet the girl."

"H-Hi." She mutters out.

Wait, Katherine?

"History has explained who we are, but we will still introduce ourselves formally. I am Anne Boleyn."

"And I am-" She sniffles. "Katherine Howard."

Veronica doesn't know how long she stood there frozen but she did manage to move. "Oh..." She sat near them. "What's wrong?"

Katherine looks at her for a bit before turning away again. "Every time I am here, I remember being dragged away by the king's guards."

Veronica looks at her with sympathy. "Oh. You were only 19 right?" Katherine nods.

"We were both moths drawn to a flame. And it eventually burnt us." Said Anne.

"I believe you guys." Said Veronica. "That you are innocent." She turns to Katherine. "And that you were not fully aware of what was happening. I know your executions were not justified."

Anne and Katherine smile at her.

"You should know that you knowing that, is very comforting." Said Anne.

Katherine nods. "It truly is."

Later, as Veronica left Hampton Court, she couldn't help but wonder if that truly was her imagination due to her current hyperfixation, or if she actually does sees ghosts.

"DAMMIT KURT!"

Veronica turns and tosses a notebook--that she doesn't care for anymore--at him. "Get off my bed."

"Boo. Spoil sport." Said Kurt.

Veronica turns back to what she was writing.

Now for the day she finally accepted the fact that she does in fact see ghosts...

And that was Heather Chandler.

Ever since Heather died, she followed her around EVERYWHERE. She thought she was going crazy, especially when Kurt and Ram died and they followed Heather everywhere, resulting in them being around her a lot.

But only during that time JD broke into her room did she realized they were real.

She was hiding in the closet, Kurt and Ram are too busy enjoying the fact that they were in a woman's closet to worry, and Heather was next to her, keeping calm but her expression shows she's worried.

JD was currently monologing outside the closet door. "We'll plant this note explaining how they died."

That's when Veronica got the idea.

"We, the students of Westerburg High, will die!"

Heather noticed. "What's with that face Saywer?"

"He likes suicides doesn't he?" Said Veronica.

"I can hardly tell..." Heather said sarcastically. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Our burned bodies may finally get through, to you, your society churns out slaves and blanks! No thanks!"

"Let's see how he reacts to a suicide he didn't plan." Said Veronica as she took off her blazer and grabbed a blanket.

"Signed, the students of Westerburg High! Goodbye!"

Heather picked up Veronica's blazer from the floor and threw it over her shoulder. "What exactly are you doing?"

"We'll watch the smoke pour out the doors! Bring marshmallows, we'll make smores. We can smile and cuddle while the fire roars!"

"I'm gonna tie the blanket around my waist, to carry me from the ground. Then around my neck to make it look like a suicide. Then I'll put my blazer on to cover the blanket." Said Veronica. "With the right angle, it'll look like I actually killed myself."

"Hm. Sounds like it could work." Said Heather.

"I was meant to be yours! We were meant to be one!"

Veronica struggles to tie the blanket. Heather sighs. "Come on, I'll help you out."

"Oh thanks, just tie that there." Said Veronica.

"I can't make it alone! Finish what we begun!"

Wait, is she actually letting Heather help her? She's supposed to just be a figment of her imagination...

Right?

"You were meant to be mine!"

"And done." Said Heather.

"Thanks..." This can't be real.

"What's with that tone, Sawyer?" Asked Heather.

"Nothing, nothing." She immediately responded.

"I am all that you need!"

"Whatever." Said Heather as she held up the blue blazer and puts on Veronica.

"You carved open my heart!"

Veronica puts her arms in the sleeves and thinks, so that happened. Heather actually helped her out.

She really can see ghosts.

"Can't juts leave to bleed! VERONICA! Open the, open the door please."

Heck, she knew that all this time. She just refused to acknowledge that she can.

"Veronica, open the door. Veronica, can we not, fight anymore please. Can we not fight anymore? Veronica sure, you're scared. I've been there! I can set you free! Veronica, don't make me come in there! I'm gonna count to three!

ONE

TWO

FUCK IT!"

Yeah, Heather cackling at JD when he thought Veronica was dead and at her mom when she dolphin screamed is definitely real.

"THAT'S IT! KURT, RAM, GET OUT MY NIECE'S ROOM!" Louis yelled.

Kurt and Ram pouted, but did so anyway.

"It's definitely a good thing that there's an adult figure in here." Said JD.

"Remember, just because I tolerate you two more than Kurt and Ram, doesn't mean I like you two." Louis reminded Heather and JD.

"Okay, uncle Louis, I think they know. You remind every time." Said Veronica.

"Anyway, what were you writing?" Asked Louis.

"Nothing entirely important. Just an analysis of a few things." Answered Veronica.

"Alright then." Said Louis.

Yeah, it's weird. Being able to see ghosts is weird. Especially when some are terrible, she's had her fair share of encounters with those type of ghosts.

But hey, at least she's never alone.

Edmond O'Brien, Gordon MacRae, and Virginia Mayo in Backfire (Vincent Sherman, 1950)

Cast: Gordon MacRae, Virginia Mayo, Edmond O'Brien, Viveca Lindfors, Dane Clark, Ed Begley, Sheila MacRae, Mack Williams, Leonard Strong, Frances Robinson, Richard Rober, David Hoffman, Ida Moore. Screenplay: Lawrence B. Marcus, Ivan Goff, Ben Roberts. Cinematography: Carl E. Guthrie. Art direction: Anton Grot. Film editing: Thomas Reilly. Music: Daniele Amfitheatrof. 

Backfire is a hyperplotted whodunit that aspires to some of the narrative complexity of Raymond Chandler but doesn't quite have what it takes. Gordon MacRae plays Bob Corey, recovering from war wounds in an Army hospital, who receives a visit one night from a mysterious woman (Viveca Lindfors) who tells him that his friend Steve Connolly (Edmond O'Brien) has been in a serious accident and is threatening to commit suicide; she asks for his help, but Corey has just been given a shot to help him sleep and passes out as the woman is talking. The next morning, he's not certain whether the woman was really there or if he dreamed about her visit. When he gets out of the hospital, the police contact him: Connolly is wanted for the murder of a notorious gambler and has disappeared. While in the hospital, Corey has fallen in love with a nurse, Julie Benson (Virginia Mayo), and with her help he begins the search for his friend. The rest of the story is told mostly in a series of flashbacks, some of them provided by people who get killed for telling Corey their stories, which all point to a high-roller with a mistress who is none other than the mysterious woman who visited Corey in the hospital. Some suspenseful moments and some entertaining performances keep the movie going, but the outcome is just a little too predictable. It's like one of those TV detective shows where the bad guy turns out to be that character actor you've seen before but can't quite place. This time, it's the actor whose name recognition is a little larger than their role in the movie seems to justify.

D.O.A. and film noir: Right there in the face.

After watching and enjoying Black Angel, I was more than ready to view the D.O.A.(1950). D.O.A, released by United Artists, was directed by Rudolph Maté and starred Edmond O’Brien and Pamela Britton as the leads. The film follows O’Brien as Frank Bigelow, an accountant and notary public in California. Becoming restless and hesitant about his relationship with his secretary, Paula, played by Pamela Britton, he decides to take an impromptu trip to San Francisco. As he is trying to relax and enjoy his vacation, he begins to feel unwell and heads to the doctor. Upon discovering he has been poisoned and only has a few days left to live, he takes it upon himself to discover who “murdered” him before it’s too late. 

“This wartime and immediate postwar detective contrasts markedly with today’s conformist home-front detectives.” (Broe). This quote comes from the journal article Class, Labor, and the Home-Front Detective: Hammett, Chandler, Woolrich, and the Dissident Lawman(and Woman) in 1940s Hollywood and Beyond by Dennis Broe. I couldn’t agree more with this quote, especially given what I have watched this week. In both the Black Angel and D.O.A., there is no detective at all. There are police involved in both, but they play minor roles. The main characters who take it upon themselves to solve the mysteries in these films aren’t detectives, not even close. One is an accountant and notary public, while the other two are an alcoholic musician and a former singer turned housewife. In both films, the main characters are in situations where the police can’t do anything more or they feel as though they have to take it upon themselves. Both situations end with the case being solved, but a sadness and darkness to it all. They wrap up loose ends, but there are no true happy endings. Which makes perfect sense for film noir. 

After watching the Black Angel, I had high expectations. For the most part, those expectations were met. The quality of the film was great. The lighting was different, less soft lighting than Black Angel, as this was a grittier film and the lighting reflected that. The score also reflected that feeling, with its darker and jarring sound. Editing and the rest were all quite good. The acting was a bit more dramatic at times, especially during a confrontation or an embrace with a woman, but it also spoke of the time period. The plot was intriguing and not entirely what I expected. While I managed to figure some things out, there were a few times where a new twist and turn would take me by surprise. There were also things that were right there in my face, but I just didn’t see it until the end. But hey, now I know what D.O.A stands for. The ending was satisfying yet left me wanting a little more, though that’s what made it so good. 

Both films were excellent and I am glad I watched them. For all my expectations about crime noir films of the 40s, I was pleasantly surprised at the change of pace these films brought. I would say, if I had to pick between the two, I would choose Black Angel. While I did enjoy the D.O.A., Black Angel just had a little something more for me. Between the lighting, the music, the plot, not between the romance. While both films have ill-fated romances, the chemistry between the two main characters of Black Angel was just perfection. While I can find romance cheesy at times, I can be a sucker for it as well. Overall, just two spectacular films that I would highly recommend.

Edmond "Eddy" Chandler from Hero Mask

[laurensfavoriteanimecharacters]

Anime name: Hero Mask

Genre(s): Crime, Action

Lauren’s Like Rating: 7/10 (I really enjoyed the depth of some of the characters. However, it didn’t really make me feel engaged or interested for most of the time, and the action scenes, while some were pretty cool, the rest kinda just felt messy and pointless. It was also hard to follow, and I’m not sure if it was because I couldn’t keep interest or it was just badly connected. I was going to rate it 6/10 but I gave it one more point for really liking the characters I liked, all of whom deserved more screen time and most. I was disappointed in not getting more time to see and learn about various characters, including Theo and Grimm, or even Harry, as we get a bit about who he is normally and who he has become out of necessity, but so little is said and done with characters in this series. Only part 1 is out as I write this on 3/11/19 but if more is made I would possibly watch more to see if the ever do better for the characters.)

Character (s): Harry Creighton, Harry’s Girlfriend, Edmond Chandler, Theo Lowe, Grimm

!!!Spoiler warning!!!

Harry Creighton was once a police detective, but after his girlfriend collapses, in order to pay for getting her treated, he disappears and becomes a mercenary for the LIVE corporation, who wants him to kill Mask users. This puts him at odds with his colleagues, including James Blood, whom he admires. He loves his girlfriend and affectionately teases her every chance he gets.

Harry’s girlfriend is a very upbeat and positive girl who has a loving relationship with Harry. She playfully teases him just as much as he teases her.

Edmond “Eddy” Chandler is a Sargent and a technical specialist in the SSC. He invents many useful gadgets for James, including the GPS Bullets. Over the course of the series he struggles with his perceived inadequacies, and comes to be a badass in his own way. He has a serious and by-the-book kind of mindset, but he’s also warm and caring. He allows himself to be more confident and bold, and winds up taking on missions himself in order to uncover the secrets behind the Masks.

Theo Lowe is a man who loves his family so much that he went to prison for holding doctors hostage to force them to give his dying daughter a heart transplant. He was used as a test subject for the Masks, and all he wanted to do after breaking free was to see his family again, even if it’s just for a moment. After the Mask ravages his body, he becomes an old man and as he’s about to give up, his daughter comes up to him, not knowing who he is, and befriends him. He gives her a rock for her collection before he passes peacefully, and she treasures it. The rock reminds his wife of him, as he was the one who got his daughter interested in rock collecting. He loves children and is kind to any he sees.

Grimm is an unstable serial killer who was used as a test subject for developing the Masks after supposedly dying in prison. His Mask allows him to change his face whenever he wants. He enjoys painting with his own blood (also probably his victims prior to incarceration) and wants to use James’ blood as well. He is very sadistic, reveling in tormenting and killing others.

I do not own anything!
