I’ve seen a lot of misinformation spread around with people calling Minions by the wrong name. I think its about time someone from the Minions community speaks up and gives a simple comprehensive guide to minion characters. Contrary to popular belief, it is not always easy to identify every single minions! Some minions share the same appearance, or the same name. For example there are two Jerrys and two Carls! But it is truly unacceptable to misidentify the most recognizable minon characters, as they are unique individuals with interesting personalities!

-------------MINIONS ROLECALL------------------------------------------

THE TRIO

The most important minion characters are the trio of Kevin, Bob, and Stuart! If you cant identify these three you really should check yourself! 

KEVIN

Kevin is identifiable for his height, tall hair, and leadership! He is one of the most determined and heroic minions. He is arguably the main character of Minions, and he lead the quest to find a new evil master after the minions century-long unemployment (in M1).

BOB

Bob is identifiable for being tiny and bald, and the sweetest minion of them all! He also has heterochromia. He is a product of the quirky cute craze in the early 2010s, but is honestly written pretty endearingly in recent movies. He had a corruption arc where he became the king of England (in M1). His teddy bear is named Tim, not to be confused with the minion Tim, who I mention later.

STUART 

Stuart is identifiable for having one eye and combed hair.... Oh dear, how do I say this. He is an arrogant.... floozy..... And he frequently shows his minion butt on screen. He also has a bit of an artistic side and can play any type of guitar. Notably, he, along with Dave, are the only two minions to never have been turned into a purple “Evil Minion” (in DM2).

OTHER MAJOR CHARACTERS DAVE

Dave doesn’t stand out very much visually and personality-wise, he is your standard minion, but he is very iconic! He has two eyes, is an average pill-shape, and has combed hair. Along with Stuart, he was never turned into a purple minion. He is also one of the only minions to never quit their job, along with one of the Jerrys (in DM3). He is also a little bit of a floozy like Stuart. 

MEL

Mel is identifiable for his one eye and friar-type-hair. As the current head of the Minions, he is the one who rallies the minions to speak up with their grievances (in DM3), which inevitably causes them to rebel and temporarily quit their jobs. Despite this, he sees Gru as a father-figure and loves him very much. He is a very complex character and one of my favorite minions.

OTTO

Otto is EXTREMELY identifiable (if you misidentify him I honestly dont know whats wrong with you). He has a very wide and tall shape, has a tiny sprout of upright hair, and has braces. He also has an extremely-fast-paced speech pattern. Sadly the narrative is rather mean spirited towards him, as all the other minions and Gru are easily annoyed at his presence. Despite being an air-head and making mistakes for the sake of plot, he tries his best to right his wrongs and deserves better! 

OTHER NOTABLE CHARACTERS JERRY AND JERRY

YES they are different characters. YES they both have the same name. It happens in real life too, deal with it. Jerry (left) likes to play golf. Jerry (right) is one of the only minions to not temporarily quit their job, along with Dave. Just wanted to clarify this.

TIM

Tim looks the same as Kevin, but they are NOT the same character. Tim commonly dresses up as a Father when he goes on undercover missions (he does it in DM1 and DM2.) He is also one of the minions who appears in the iconic credits sequence of DM1, along with Carl and John.

TOM

For those wondering who the Maid minion is, his name is Tom. Some media accidentally mislabeled him as Phil, but Phil is actually the one who dresses up like an infant and gets inflated (in DM1). DONT BE LIKE THESE FOOLS. DONT CONFUSE THE BABY MINION FOR THE MAID MINION.

(image of Phil moments before the incident) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are many more minion characters! But these were the ones I felt like are most iconic and important to the plot! Please learn your facts and stop incorrectly identifying minions! Thank you!

Minions: The Rise of Gru - Movie Reaction

by Jomaira Madag

MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU (2022)

My reaction to Minions Rise of Gru Remember from the first Minions where all Minions have to find their new boss? And now they have finally found one that is perfect, and his name is Gru. Gru's future plan was to be part of the Vicious 6 but gets rejected, so he stole their Zodiac stone so he can prove himself worthy, but gets kidnapped by his favorite villain that ends with Knuckles.

So Kevin, Stuart, and Bob are off to rescue him while Otto is after the stone. The main three Minions learned kung fu as they actually fought the Vicious 6, and then Gru started working with Dr. Nafario as before the first film started.

Obviously the best part of the movie is the comedy and action scenes. The animation is very polished and fresh compared to the past Illumination films. Their renders are smooth, the textures are nice, and the colors are bright. The Vicious 6 are very threatening, they really want revenge of Gru as they try to kill him and a dude that ends with Knuckles.

As what I expected, this movie of course has the purpose to be as entertaining as possible. I really like the origins of everything for the first and the second film. And uh...yeah...I guess that's all I have to say about it.

I recommend it of course, it made every laughs and action as usual to make it an underrated film like the franchise itself. What I have learned before the first Despicable Me starts for storywise is that the Minions are always iconic and funny.

New Castlevania Netflix Series Almost Completely Changed Richter Belmont’s Backstory

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

A new Castlevania anime series is in the works at Netflix, which should come as no surprise considering the success of the first show and how well received it was by fans of the video game franchise. With its four-season Castlevania series, the streamer has done the impossible: produce a video game adaptation that is not only faithful and respectful to its source material but is also entertaining and unique in its own right.

Indeed, one of the secrets to the series’ success is that it added layers of complexity to stories that had previously only been told in pixelated form on 16-bit consoles. Netflix’s Castlevania not only explored new facets of iconic characters like Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard but it gave their stories added historical context, placing them right in the middle of Game of Thrones-like power struggles set in Wallachia during the Middle Ages.

Now, Netflix hopes to do the same with the next series, which stars a whole new generation of vampire hunters living in France during the French Revolution. At the center of this story are Richter Belmont and Maria Renard, two beloved characters who first appeared in 1993’s Rondo of Blood for the PC Engine, a title only available in Japan until it was finally ported over to the PSP in 2007.

The game, which takes place in 1792, follows 19-year-old Richter, who enters the castle of a resurgent Dracula (he is resurrected every couple of generations in the Castlevania universe) to rescue his beloved Annette after she’s kidnapped by one of the vampire lord’s minions. While making his way through the castle, he frees Maria Renard, a 12-year-old orphan who has magical abilities.

Since 1792 was a key year in the real-life French Revolution, it’s likely that the new series will adapt some of the events of Rondo of Blood. That said, when Netflix first announced the new series on Twitter, the streamer set off alarm bells for some fans when it mistakenly introduced the Richter in this adaptation as the son of Trevor and Sypha.

https://t.co/j9yDoRCdFn

— Netflix Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) June 11, 2021

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Fans of the series know that this would have been the kind of change that would have completely shifted Castlevania lore, switching around members of the Belmont family tree in order to draw a more direct connection between Trevor and Richter. After all, Castlevania season 4 ends with Sypha expecting Trevor’s child. But in the games, Richter is a very distant descendant of Trevor and Sypha’s offspring, with hundreds of years between the two generations.

Of course, before Netflix posted a correction confirming that Richter was not Trevor’s child, it was already pretty easy to dismiss the original announcement as an error. Trevor and Sypha’s adventure takes place in the late 1400s, while Richter is active in the late 1700s. If Richter were the son of Trevor and Sypha, that’d be a hell of a lifespan.

So, as it stands, Richter is where he’s supposed to be on the timeline, set to pick up the fight against Dracula centuries later.

The new series will reunite some of the key creatives responsible for the success of the first adaptation. Sam and Adam Deats are back to direct, while producer Kevin Kolde and new showrunner Clive Bradley will lead the series. One member of the original creative team not mentioned in the announcement is writer Warren Ellis, who reportedly exited Castlevania season 4 after being accused of sexual misconduct by more than 60 women.

No release date has been set for the next Castlevania series, but we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

My Fan-Cast for the Live-Action Remake of The Swan Princess

As some of you might be aware, there is going to be a potential live-action remake of the 1994 animated classic, The Swan Princess. The original movie is one of my all-time favorite movies, not just in animation but in general. It has fantastic songs, a lovely score, great characters, beautiful animation, a cool villain, awesome action scenes, funny comedy, and an engaging romance. So I am both very excited and cautious about the live-action remake, due to how much the animated movie means to be (I was actually born only twenty-one days before the movie was released in theaters). I don’t want it to be an exact copy but rather tell it in a new way while staying true to the original, as well as justify its existence. The creators of the original Swan Princess, it’s two hand-drawn sequels, and its terrible CGI movies are wanting to make a live-action remake of the classic. They are really awesome with how they interact with their fans and even accept that most of the fans really hate the computer animated movies. They appreciate praise and criticism, unlike some studios that only want praise. Anyway, they created a concept trailer, which is pretty much like what a pilot for a TV series is. It’s to give an idea of what it could be rather than being a finished product, so the actors in it aren’t necessarily going to be in the actual movie, as well as the effects/CGI not being finished. They are looking for the right studio to help make the film a reality. To get an idea, here is the concept trailer.

Anyway, despite being a little nervous about the movie, I am also excited for it because I want to see how they bring it to life. Besides, just like many fans, I’d much rather see a live-action remake of The Swan Princess than one of their computer animated movies, but I won’t go into that. Something I will go into is my dream-cast for this movie. As many of you know, I have a thing for doing my own fan-casts for movies. I’ve even made a video of my fan-casting choices as well, which I will include at the very end of this, which shows their acting and singing abilities. However, I did not include the animal sidekicks (Jean-Bob, Speed, and Puffin) or Bromley and I replaced Bridget (The hag and Rothbart’s little minion) with Rothbart’s daughter from the original Swan Lake ballet, the Black Swan herself, Odile. Let me be clear, I have nothing against those characters AT ALL. I love all of them! However, I feel like their very cartoony and Looney Tunes style of humor wouldn’t work in a live-action setting. So without further ado, here are my casting choices.

Jennifer Morrison as Odette’s Mother

If you have seen Disney’s live-action remakes, you’d know that they have a thing for actually showing the dead mothers of Disney Princesses. Cinderella’s mother, Belle’s mother, they revealed that Ariel’s mother is going to be in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, and while Jasmine’s mother didn’t make a physical appearance, she was mentioned a lot. So why not do the same with The Swan Princess? It could be added to the prologue and have her die giving birth. Jennifer Morrison has proven in Once Upon a Time that she is really incredible in labor scenes. Emma giving birth to Henry is considered one of Jennifer Morrison’s best performances, if not her absolute best. She also has a beautiful singing voice, which could make for a lovely new song in the movie, like a lullaby to Odette before she dies from childbirth. Maybe it would be one that could foreshadow Odette’s journey like the song “All is Found” from Disney’s Frozen II. Plus, Emma Swan is basically the Odette of the Once Upon a Time world. She’s too old to play Odette but she can still play her mother.

Kevin Kline as King William

I instantly thought of him for King William because of his role in the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. He showed such tenderness and a loving fatherly nature as Maurice that he would be perfect for King William, who is protective of nurturing towards Odette. He can also be funny and charming, which is another part of King William. He’d be able to show what a loving father and an entertaining character he is, which will make his death all the more heartbreaking and you could even show flashbacks to Odette’s childhood that shows how much she misses her father. The live-action remake should show more of how Odette is traumatized by her father’s death and how she didn’t get to say goodbye, hug him one last time, or tell him that she loves him for the very last time (But still have the main focus be on her relationship with Derek and try to develop it further). So it would add a layer of depth and complexity to Odette’s character and showing some flashbacks of their bond will make her refusal to give Rothbart her father’s kingdom even more powerful than it already is. She’d also wonder if she’d be the kind of queen he wanted her to be or he would be proud of, which he would be because she’d be putting the needs of her people ahead of her own by not giving into Rothbart. Kevin Kline is a strong actor that would exemplify everything that would make for a great King William and help with Odette’s own journey as a character with her wanting to make him proud. Not to mention that Kevin Kline has Broadway experience and can really sing. He actually has a better voice than what he had displayed in the remake of Beauty and the Beast, which will be important for the musical sequence, “This is My Idea.”

Josh Gad as Chamberlain

I can’t imagine anyone else as Chamberlain! I mean, he’s flamboyant, he’s hilarious, he doesn’t rely on shouting or being loud for humor, he can be subtle, he can act, he can dance, he has so much charisma, and he can sing. Josh Gad IS Chamberlain! His credits speak for themselves with his Broadway work, voice acting, and film work. Sure, his singing voice is higher than Chamberlain’s but he actually can sing in a lower register. Even if he can’t, he still has a phenomenal voice and so much energy that it wouldn’t really matter. He’d bring alive the musical sequence, “Princesses on Parade.” He’d be able to make the humor of Chamberlain feel like it’s more natural in the live-action remake the same way he managed to make Lefou feel more grounded in the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast.

Sandy Duncan as Queen Uberta

This won’t take much explanation because of the fact that she is the original voice actress for Queen Uberta in the original film. She’s the right age to play her in live-action and even said she could do Uberta now. She’s known as “Funny Girl, Sandy Duncan” for a reason. She will be able to bring Uberta to life with her humor, charm, quirkiness, and charisma. But also show her caring and motherly side. Besides, it would be a great callback to the original movie to have her reprise her role in live-action.

David Hyde Pierce as Lord Rogers

This would be absolutely PERFECT! I mean, if you have seen him in his most iconic role, Niles Crane from the sitcom Frasier, you’d know he would be able to capture the dry wit that Rogers is known for. He can also do physical comedy as well, which Rogers does some of. Not to mention he can also pull off the wise and caring mentor aspect that Rogers is to Derek. He has such an appealing sounding speaking voice that is 100% right for Rogers. He’s the right age and still has a lot of energy in him, despite his age. He also has Broadway experience, so he’d be able to pull off the singing aspect as well.

Bella Thorne as Odile

I know a lot of people hate on Bella Thorne, but that doesn’t change what a brilliant actress she is with A LOT of experience. She’s been acting since she was six-years-old and even played a villain at the age of eleven (Maybe even younger) in the movie Forget Me Not. She has experience playing villains in movies like The Duff, You Get Me, The Babysitter, and The Babysitter: Killer Queen. She can be very frightening, especially in You Get Me, despite the film not being very good. Just the look of her eyes shows how intimidating she is. She can be very sassy and make it come off as very natural and not feel forced. She puts her heart and soul into every role she’s in. It’s always clear that she is giving it her all. While her movie Infamous was received negatively, her performance received critical acclaim. One critic in particular compared her talents to award winning actress, Sandra Bullock. Her acting talents have even been praised by award winning actress, Jessica Chastain, as well as many other celebrities that just loved working with her (Which is pretty much everyone she’s worked with). She’s very seductive, which Odile is known for, and is absolutely gorgeous. She also has a lovely singing voice. Nothing great but still good enough for a movie musical. If they included her in the movie and decided to make her a redeemable villain, Bella Thorne would be able to show that with her wide range of acting. Crying real tears is something that comes very easily to her. She’d be able to show the complexity and dimensions of the character.

Either way, it makes much more sense to have Odile be in the role of the Black Swan instead of Bridget. The Fake Odette is supposed to act seductive and also give Derek some hesitation to show that he has a feeling something isn’t right. It shows how he isn’t only interested in Odette because of her looks. This makes more sense with Odile because her behavior and mannerisms should be more like her own rather than like Odette’s, which doesn’t work with Bridget. In all the scenes that Bridget is in, she’s very comedic, wacky, silly, and over-the-top in her behavior and mannerisms. That makes her entertaining, but it doesn’t make sense in the context of the Black Swan trick. Just an observation I have. Not to mention that it could give Rothbart more motivation for wanting the kingdom, because of his love for his daughter. Besides, a lot of fans are hoping that Odile will be in the live-action remake. In my opinion, Bella Thorne is the only real choice for the Black Swan. She’s a phenomenal actress, she’s a good singer, she’s sexy and seductive, and she’s gorgeous. With a major movie like this, she could end up getting an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress and have people finally take her seriously as an actress. I think she’s the most talented actor on this fan-cast list (I don’t care what anyone says) and that is saying something because this cast is phenomenally talented.

Toby Stephens as Rothbart

First of all, I cast a real redhead as Rothbart because I’m not ignoring gingerism like a lot of people are. Second of all, talent is in his blood, since he is the son of critically acclaimed actors, Robert Stephens and Maggie Smith. With brilliant talents like that for parents, you know that he has to be a brilliant talent as well. He is a phenomenal actor with many credits to his name. He’d be able to capture the gruffness of Rothbart but also the class, anger, sinister nature, wit, and energetic charisma of the character. He can also sing, though out of all the actors here, he has the weakest voice. However, his voice suits the character. It’s deep and raspy, which is perfect for the musical sequence, “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” He’s the second most talented actor on here, next to Bella Thorne, which makes sense because villains tend to be the ones to steal the show. Everyone loves a good villain. Honestly, I can’t imagine anyone else as Rothbart but Toby Stephens.

Derek Klena as Prince Derek

I mean, he already has the name for it, though that had nothing to do with this casting choice. He has an incredible singing voice and a lot of Broadway experience. He even played another Non-Disney hero on Broadway in the musical Anastasia as the love interest, Dimitri. YES! I’m aware that Disney bought 20th Century Fox and therefore own Anastasia. However, I still don’t consider Anastasia to be Disney. Anyway, his voice has a love of passion, power, tenderness, and is just the voice of a prince. He also has experience in screen acting and not just stage acting, which are two completely different skillsets. He demonstrates a lot of charm and charisma in his acting, so he’d be able to bring the character to life. When he sings, he shows just what a great actor he is as well as a singer. You can instantly connect with the character he’s playing and what he is feeling/going through. Not to mention that he is really handsome. But I hope that they won’t give Derek that ugly hairstyle that he has in all of the movies.

Demi Lovato as Princess Odette

Now for The Swan Princess herself. I bet some of you think that this is an odd choice because of how Demi is a pop star. However, that doesn’t mean she can’t be a princess. Look at Mandy Moore as Rapunzel in Disney’s Tangled. Besides, look at Demi with blonde hair. She looks exactly like Odette! Demi Lovato’s voice may not be as light as Odette’s usually is, but she still has a voice that would translate very well into the Broadways style music. Her vocal abilities speak for themselves and are undeniably brilliant. Not only that, but she’s a great actress, which a lot of people seem to forget because of how she focuses on her music career. It also wouldn’t be the first time she’s played an elegant princess, since she was in the Disney Channel original movie, Princess Protection Program. I also feel like she’d be able to capture qualities of Odette that people often overlook. Odette in the original trilogy (Especially the first movie) was feisty, strong-willed, and defiant. Demi represents those qualities perfectly in everything she does. She can capture Odette’s kindness and caring nature, since she is such a loving soul, but also manage to represent other qualities that make Odette who she is. She isn’t afraid to go against Rothbart, find a way to get out of her bad situation, and even defy her father in wanting Derek to tell her what he loves about her besides her looks. She even has some experience with voice acting, so she’d be a natural when having to do voice acting for Odette when in her swan form.

She’d also be able to capture the sexy and seductive behavior that is required for when Odile is disguised as Odette. If you have seen any of Demi Lovato’s music videos where she’s very provocative, she’s clearly able to capture that perfectly. Plus, if the movie does have Odile and they cast Bella, it would work because of how Demi and Bella are actually really good friends, so they’d be able to work together to make sure that Demi could imitate the mannerisms that Bella establishes for Odile.

Lets also not forget that she could help write an original song for the movie, which could get an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. Demi’s songs, more often than not, have a story-telling quality to them. Her songs have her emotions and feeling out on her sleeves for people to know about and sometimes even have something of a character arc. Combine that with a traditional Broadway score by Lex de Azevedo or maybe even with the score from the original Swan Lake ballet by Tchaikovsky. Besides, with her MASSIVE fanbase, she would draw in a LARGE crowd, especially since they would love to see her in a movie musical, particularly one that would have a theatrical release. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

For some bonus material, I’ve included who I would choose to sing the end credit songs from the original movie, “Far Longer Than Forever” and “Eternity.”

“Far Longer Than Forever”: Jordan Fisher and Coco Jones

These two singing a duet together would be absolutely HEAVENLY! They have absolutely amazing voices with wide and versatile vocal ranges. Jordan Fisher is pretty much a male version of Mariah Carey. Coco Jones is pretty much a younger version of Jennifer Hudson. Not to mention singing the end credit song to a remake of an iconic and beloved animated movie could help her get the recognition she deserves. She was done dirty in Hollywood because of her being a dark-skinned black woman. Singing the end credit version of “Far Longer Than Forever” in the live-action remake could be to her what “Reflection” was for Christina Aguilera. That song is what helped make Christina the massive star she is today, so much so that she came back to sing a new version of the song in the live-action remake of Mulan.

“Eternity”: Anneliese van der Pol

Anneliese van der Pol is such an UNDERRATED talent! She has one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s so powerful, she can seriously belt, has such an old fashioned beauty to her voice reminiscent of singers like Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand that is rare to find nowadays, she can be full-on but also tender, and is a Broadway singer. She would do the song justice and would stay true to the spirit of it. I mean, listen to her cover of the song “Candle on the Water.” Usually with Disney Mania, it’s almost always modern style music to classic Disney songs, however, Anneliese’s cover was in the same style as the original song, which is unique. In fact, her cover was better than the original.

Lastly, did you know that The Swan Princess has an OFFICIAL Youtube, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram? They even interact with fans A LOT! Take a look!

Now the shoe's on the other foot.

Once best-known for his iconic role as TV’s Hercules, in recent years Kevin Sorbo has forged a new identity as one of the few openly conservative actors working in Hollywood.

And if the trailer for his latest film, “The Reliant,” is any indication, Sorbo is embracing his role as a pro-faith, pro-America foil to typically liberal celebrities.

According to the A.V. Club, the film is based on a 2017 novel by the same name.

“When the dollar collapses, widespread rioting and looting threaten the peace of a family in Zanesville, Ohio. Eight children tragically lose their parents in the chaos,” reads a description of the book on Amazon. “The oldest, 19-year-old lovesick Sophie, is forced to care for her defenseless and hungry siblings in a stretch of woods surrounded by lawless anarchy.”

According to the trailer, in the alternate version of America depicted by the film, guns have been outlawed. The trailer also shows characters arming themselves with guns, dodging antifa-like mobs and fending off rioters.

One Twitter user described the movie as “Red Dawn but with Antifa.”

“After guns have been outlawed, Kevin Sorbo and his family fight their way through Black Bloc snipers, socialists on dirtbikes, and run over protestors in the streets,” quipped the Twitter account for the leftist Minion Death Cult Podcast.

The liberal reaction to Kevin Sorbo and his latest flick

In a Hollywood studio system dominated by progressive viewpoints, a movie that presents a right-leaning perspective can seem like a novelty.

Such was the tenor of the response from many liberal commenters on social media, who reacted to “The Reliant” by mocking the film for its arguably alarmist presentation of conservative bogeymen.

“Gosh. Sometimes USA culture is so weird for me that until the end I was not sure it was an internet parody or a true movie trailer,” tweeted French graphic designer Fred Boot.

“like 90% of this movies profits will be leftists eating handfuls of edibles and seeing it three times a day,” predicted one Twitter user.

Well what did you think they were going to do?

Do you think your Betty from Wicked would celebrate Halloween? And if she dressed up what would her costume be? It’s one of my favorite stories! ☺️

That’s a great question, Nonnie! And I have thought about it, believe me. In my notes, I did briefly consider having events happen in Halloween, but in the story’s timeline, it was too far off, so I skipped it for this story, but had I included Halloween, it would’ve turned out to be an action sequence, because Halloween is when all things supernatural, particularly witches, become more powerful. It would’ve been Samhain, and Jughead, all the slayers, and the supernatural Serpents would be guarding the vault in shifts. 

Betty would likely be right there with them, so she might not be in costume at all.  

That said, V and Kevin would be totally down to party, so they would definitely ham it up. Kevin, being the card-playing geek he is, would probably dress as Loki, but since he is also a theater geek, I would also want Kevin to consider doing a Priscilla Queen of the Dessert type outfit. Veronica might go modern female icon, ala Cher from Clueless, or Elle Woods from Legally Blonde.  Cheryl would flat out go Mean Girls, since she has minions to boss around and do group--she might do her own rendition of it, with Cady ruling the plastics and Regina playing a subdued minion. 

Sabrina would be cheeky and do I Dream of Jeannie, forcing Sweet Pea to be the astronaut, Larry Hagman. They will totally have kinky sex afterwards with that Master-Jeannie vibe. 

If Alice ever got convinced by her sisters to dress up for Halloween, they would be the three witches from Hocus Pocus. 

Polly would dress as Harley Quinn, Suicide Squad style, and Chic would never put on a costume. He would be in his work clothes and tell everyone he is Fox Mulder from X-Files (yes, he’s blonde, so everyone thinks his “costume” is lame).

If Betty and Jughead ever got in on the festivities, there would be options. I would totally let them do a couples costume and, they can either do Sandy Olson and Danny Zucko from Grease or  Outlander’s Claire and Jamie. The main thing here is that Jughead has to have these outfits available for him (lol) because he will absolutely *not* go out on a limb for a costume. Betty may go for it, buying materials and making it, but Jughead will only wear a costume that he already has on hand (ex., leather jacket and jeans, the kilt, etc.)

Well, Nonnie, that was a fun ask!  Always love answering behind-the-story questions about the fics! Thanks for this.

Elementary, My Dear Anderson

For Klaine Advent 2018  Also on AO3

Chapter One

Hi! It feels good to rejoin the Klaine Fanfic Party after a two year absence! A Future!Klaine story idea that’s been buried since 2016 decided that it wanted to come out and celebrate Advent.  I hope you enjoy it!

Summary: Blaine and Kurt are thrilled to be visiting Lima over the Christmas holiday. They’re happy to take a break from their busy schedules; Blaine as a popular professor of music composition at NYU, Kurt as an actor who has just finished a successful run in the off-Broadway play Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Purloined Prize. But when an accident befalls Blaine, will visions of Dr. Watson dance in his head? This Klaine Advent 2018 holiday adventure is a continuous story that will post one or more times a week through December 24.

Day One: Snowman

Blaine shifted in his seat and turned to Kurt, who was next to him, eyes closed, listening to a playlist through his ear buds.  Blaine hesitated to disturb him, but he figured he had a good enough reason. He carefully removed the  ear bud closest to him.  

“Hey, husband,” he said softly. Kurt opened one eye and gave him a questioning look. “The plane’s going to land in less than an hour.  I thought I’d use the bathroom now, while it’s quiet. Let me out?”

Kurt stretched, took out the other ear bud, unbuckled his seat belt, and slowly stood up, moving sideways into the aisle. “I knew I should have taken the window seat.”

Blaine squeezed his arm affectionately as he passed in front of him, not at all minding when their bodies brushed together. “I’ll remind you next time.”

*

Burt was waiting when they landed in Columbus. The winter cold hit them the minute they stepped through the sliding doors onto the sidewalk. Kurt tightened the scarf around his neck. “God. It’s even colder here than in New York.”

Burt smiled. “See what happens when you stay away too long? You get nostalgic for winter in Ohio.”

Kurt grinned. “I don’t think that’s what I meant. But I am nostalgic about Christmas.”

Burt opened the trunk of his car so Kurt and Blaine could load their bags.  “We did what you told us,” he said to Kurt.  “Carole and I bought the tree, but held off on the decorating. We’re leaving that to you and Blaine.”

“Maybe ‘leaving that to you so you can give orders to Blaine’ is more accurate,” Blaine teased as he opened the rear passenger door and got inside.

Kurt, who took the front seat next to Burt, turned around and gave Blaine a mock glare. “Never orders, sweetie. Just suggestions.”

“Oh, is that what we’re calling it now?” said Burt as he pulled out of the parking space.

“Dad! You’re supposed to be on my side!!”

As they got closer to Lima, Kurt’s eyes were glued to the window, while he pointed out what was new and what had stayed the same since their last visit home. When they reached his old neighborhood, Kurt began to critique the outdoor holiday decorations that adorned many of the homes.  Inflatables seemed to be all the rage.

“I think that’s nice,” said Burt as they drove by a lawn with an inflatable snowman and three illuminated reindeer.  “Very traditional.”  Blaine was about to say something when Kurt spotted a front yard full of inflatable Minions.

“Oh my god. Please tell me what Kevin and Stuart have to do with Christmas!”

Blaine smiled. Kurt had no patience with design fails, whether it was clothing or home décor. “You didn’t seem to mind the Mickey and Minnie Mouse inflatables two blocks back.”

“Mickey and Minnie are iconic,” Kurt replied. “They transcend Christmas. I find inflatable Minions aesthetically offensive as holiday decorations.”

“Guess I’d better scratch my plans for a Minion holiday tableau for our apartment, then.”

To be continued.

My thanks to The Road Warrior and The Fan Daughter, who tossed around plot ideas for this fic during a long car ride to New York City in August 2016 to see Darren Criss in White Rabbit Red Rabbit!  Not once in two years have they asked what happened to it, bless them! Thanks as well to my fabulous beta and dear friend @flowerfan2 who is solely responsible for this fic’s resurrection. She can be very persuasive when she wants to be!

Last but certainly not least, my thanks to @slayediest and all the fabulous people at @klaineadvent and @todaydreambelieversfic for keeping the Klaine fanfic torch lit and the fun never ending.

This summer, from the biggest animated franchise in history and global cultural phenomenon, comes the untold story of one 12-year-old’s dream to become the world’s greatest supervillain, in Minions: The Rise of Gru. SAVE this post so you can come back to the info again Follow us at @pontikmedia in ALL social media  #Entertainment, #Music, Fashion, Concerts, #Trends & #Lifestyle News - Pontik.com In the heart of the 1970s, amid a flurry of feathered hair and flared jeans, Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell) is growing up in the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them. Luckily, he gets some mayhem-making backup from his loyal followers, the Minions. Together, Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto—a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please—deploy their skills as they and Gru build their first lair, experiment with their first weapons and pull off their first missions. When the Vicious 6 oust their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles (Oscar® winner Alan Arkin), Gru interviews to become their newest member. It doesn’t go well (to say the least), and only gets worse after Gru outsmarts them and suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. On the run, Gru will turn to an unlikely source for guidance, Wild Knuckles himself, and discover that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. @minions #minions #movies #comingsoon #hollywood #movie #trailers #instagram #newmovie #cinema #moviefacts #cinematography #movienight #superstar #greatmovies #greatmovie #cinemalovers #movienews  #movielover #instamovies #instafilm #instacinema #celeb #legend #icon #peliculas (at Hollywood) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MSXNLHgaS/?igshid=1npo2xai5c1gf
