Billy Bannister and Bonnie Silver + Christmas in Killarney (if that doesn't inspire you, you can also do something generic like 12 Days of Christmas, I'm not picky😂)

(in my head this is set in between The Candlestone and Circles of Seven. Also I kinda adore that song!!!)

Humming a Christmas song to herself, Bonnie headed into the Foley’s living room, cradling a basket full of greenery for the decorations. Billy and Walter looked up at her arrival— the two of them had been tasked with wrapping presents, while Ashley finished up some of the baking.

“Where are the others?” she asked.

Getting to his feet, Billy took the basket from Bonnie, and she shot him a grateful smile as he set it on the coffee table. “Walter’s dad took them out on a sleigh ride with Mom to keep them out of the way while Walter and I wrap presents,” he explained.

“And Prof is helping my mom and Ashley in the kitchen,” Walter added, adjusting the Santa hat he was wearing. “Between you and me, I wouldn’t go in there. There’s a lot of anti-cookie eating sentiments going on.”

“Because you keep stealing them!” came a shout from the kitchen, and Walter offered them a guilty smile.

Covering a laugh, Bonnie said, “I’m sure we won’t have too much longer to wait.”

“Which is good, cause I don’t know how much longer either of us can wait,” Billy joked as Bonnie started sorting through the contents of her basket. “Want some help?”

“Sure,” she said, smiling at him. “Start with the pine branches— I’ll help you figure out where to put them. We’ll work as a team.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

For anyone who hasn't heard it, here's the entirety of the infamous Walter Foley fish joke!

So one day, a fish flopped up on the seventh green, and he saw four golfers getting ready to putt. He said to one of them, "I'll bet you I can make that putt." So the fish tried to grab the putter, but the golfer snatched him up and hung him from the golf bag, glad to have dinner for the night and a funny story to tell when he got home. After a while, though, the fish started drying out and cried pitifully, "I'm drying! I'm drying!" The golfer felt bad for the fish and tossed him back in the pond. "Why did you let him go?" one of the other golfers asked. The first golfer shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I decided I have bigger fish to dry."

Walter Foley for the character ask game?

Oh, storms yes.

looks: somewhat attractive | eh? | not really my type | pretty | handsome? | beautiful | stud | gorgeous | SWEET LORD MERCY

(Note on this one: I don't really have a good idea from the text of what Walter looks like — if we go off the book cover of Enoch's Ghost, he's more "eh" — not bad-looking, but not someone who makes you look twice. That said, I do picture him as a bit better-looking than that, and it's entirely probable that he ended up pretty handsome by the end of Oracles of Fire.)

can you relate to this character on a personal level?: no | not really | somewhat | yes | they are me

would you date/be friends with this character in real life if they were real?: total bros | friends | best friends | date | become their steady boyfriend/ girlfriend | neither | i don’t kno

Necessary caveat: this answer is taking place in an AU where I'm not breaking up an established ship, specifically not one of my favorite DiOM ships.

Anyway. I would definitely be friends with Walter — we'd get along well, and we have enough in common to bond. (We also would have a mutual appreciation of puns, which I feel like might drive others a little crazy, but y'know. It's fine.) I wanted to put best friends in there, because I do think we could get pretty close, but I'm not fool enough to think that my friendship with him would beat out Billy's friendship with him. On the romantic front — storms yes, as long as ages matched up, I would get together with Walter. And I think that, because of the fact that we'd be starting from a similar frame of how we view the world, some of the hangups I'd have with other characters wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Send me a character to rate (and distract me from how much money I've had to spend on car stuff)!

i’ve been avoiding writing this post because, as stupid as it sounds, part of me felt that when i did, it would mean it was truly over. but then another part of me feels the need to say something, so here i am…

i came across As It Is by chance, when YouTube decided to recommend ‘The Stigma (Boys Don’t Cry)’ to me back in July, 2018. it wasn’t really that long ago, but it was truly a one way ticket. i fell in love with the band instantly. i’m not gonna go into detail here, because i don’t want to make this about me, but they truly saved my life back then. and continue to do so still today. i love them so much, words are not enough.

i was going through my old posts and oh, my God, was i in love with this band. still am, of course. i was so obsessed with The Great Depression i wrote a two-parter theory explaining the concepts behind it. and , you know what? a lot of it still makes sense. such a good record. all of them. all of As It Is. so much talent. i hope that even if they’re taking this time apart and away from the music business they never stop making art. especially Patty (because everybody else has done it already). I really hope he keeps writing music even if it’s just for himself. he’s too talented to just let it go to waste.

over this past week, i’ve been listening to As It Is nonstop and it got me thinking. even though the band is taking some time off– and even if they break up for good– we still have all the beautiful art they’ve made. no matter what happens that will never leave us. the songs and memories will stay forever with us.

so i guess what i’m trying to say is: thank you. thank you for being there when no one else was. thank you for understanding me like nobody else ever did. thank you for writing the songs that helped me process what i went through. thank you for making me feel seen and validated and like i mattered. thank you... for everthing.

i’ll miss you. but i’m gonna be here when you come back. until then... we dream ‘cause we don't sleep. we'll never get rest, but we got this.

As some people who have been following me or known me for awhile on here, I had a big shock yesterday. One of my favorite bands decided to leave for their own peace of mind.

I would like to say it now that I fully support Patty and I have nothing but love and respect for him. When I needed someone most, this band was here- literally. The night IWTHAB came out was one of the worst of my life and let me tell you, that album helped.

I found the band As It Is later than most people but they helped me more than some. They were part of my url for awhile on here, and they were my everything for a good 2-3 years. I was fortunate enough to see them live when Ali was still a part of the band and they were amazing, one of the best concerts I've seen.

It's hard to quite put in words what this loss is doing to me, because I knew it was coming. Nothing good lasts forever and I hope Patty finds a better place to be creative; whether he decides to share that with the public or not.

I met Patty, Ali, and Ronnie. All of them. I won a contest and got to video chat them. Ronnie and Ali were the only ones there, but they were some of the sweetest people ever. Ali was very soft spoken and funny, but Ronnie really took charge and made a connection with everyone so easily. But then I met Patty after the concert I had. Determined to meet him at least once, I waited till after the show.

Patty took a photo with me then went to the other people- he didn't seem at all bothered to be taking extra time to talk with the fans and he was so gentle with all of them. After he was done with the rest of the fans, I was still there because I simply couldn't leave, and I got to talk to him for a bit. When I tell you he was one of the nicest people I've ever met that isn't even an exaggeration. He was so kind and patient while I was stumbling over words, and while we didn't hug because of covid restrictions at the time- I left feeling completely satisfied and happy.

How do I say goodbye to something that was once a best friend? Even still, I'm their #2 top listener on Spotify and they take up space on the walls of my room. I think it's time to realize in my life that just because someone isn't always there doesn't quite mean they're gone. So farewell to As It Is, a best friend of mine. I'll see you guys around <3

Best of Walter Foley, part five: Enoch's Ghost

Four pages into the first chapter, and he's already made a pun

Gosh I love these three

Him stepping in front of Karen to protect her when there's danger

And when he dives to catch her

"A term of endearment?"

*sobbing*

GOSH I love him

I love how worried he is about Ashley, and how hard he tries to show her God's love

He really is just. The Luis from Antman of Dragons In Our Midst, huh?

Walter and Gabriel team-up my beloved

Walter being protective of Karen my beloved

*something about the vibes of how Ashley knows exactly what Walter's plan is because they know each other so well*

*snickers* ahhhhhh, Walter. This is why we love you

The very last scene. Just ALL of it. Makes me cry

First | Previous | Next

Not sure why and not going to think more about it but maybe Lilia would like to hear stuff about cinematography? I feel like it's a maybe with Vil? Definitely with Rook as I feel like Rook would listen to anyone about anything because he

Heck I bet talking about cinematography to Grim, Ace, and Deuce may get them wanting to make a short film.

I do think I'd find random info about cinematography interesting. Any random tidbits ya want to share?

Lilia would probably enjoy my bullshit!

(Vil and rook scare me lol)

Random knowledge:

Framing of scenes can be super important for the story! Making the choice to have certain items or a certain POV for a shot can complete change the intended energy for a scene.

The vertigo effect was invented in the 1940's and used for the movie 'Rebecca' but it didn't get the desired effect right until 1958 with the film 'Vertigo'.

It is created by rolling the camera AWAY from the Focus and simultaneously zooming IN. It is used to create an air of dramatic unease!

My least favorite equipment piece is a crane due to the annoyance of setting up and moving the sucker.

My favorites are the gimble and shoulder mount!

Gimbles are used to create a steady-cam while the camera has to move a lot. This is really handy for action scenes if you want a POV that's kinda IN the action!

They are basically good for anything that requires the camera to be moving frequently to maintain certain shots and you DONT want the camera to shake artistically.

Extreme Close Ups are a good way to make the scene feel claustrophobic or like it's closing in

My favorite film in a cinematic sense is "The secret Life of Walter Mitty"

Other bullshit:

Audio is the make or break with many films. If you have shit audio and it's not artistically intentional, restart.

You can get the best sound effects by doing the weirdest thing!! (Tree fall down? Break/eat celery next to the mic)

This is called 'Foley' and its one of of my favorite things!

I was often in charge of soundtracks becuase I loved keying up sound effects and music tracks! I also have big ass Audiophile style headphones.

Horror films aren't scary to me because I am too busy looking at the camera angles and giggling like a fangirl

My favorite silent film is Nosferatu

I have hearing loss from being the designated sound guy- People always yelled into my mic as a prank (I would have a headset plugged into the mic to make sure i got good sound)

I also often doubled as a "SCRIPT SUPERVISOR" which is in charge of continuity between shots, (ie I made sure your hat didn't change to a diffrent hat between scenes)

My film team hated me as script supervisor and storyboard manager because I was "too ocd about it" and would correct things "too often"

I still want to fucking fight them over that

They also cut a lot of my audio effects from the final version of the short film and that made me even more pissed

I used to "Lone Wolf" a lot of my projects becuase everyone hated to work with me due to my work style (or just hated me lol)

I often let actors improv dialog becuase it felt more natural and I was horrible at story-telling! It was a pain to edit, but the reactions and emotions were GOLD

I really like dramatic lighting! I would often use lighting that would give harsh shadows, one of my favorite lighting sources was actually bonfires.

Fucking love horror films, they go absolutely HARD with soundtracks and specific shots (Extreme Close Ups my beloved ♡♡♡)
