#Malcom Duncan

[lonestarfangirl2014]

I love you so much titans west!

(Fair warning I'm using photos from all over the comic timelines)

All of them can be considered longtime members of the titans organization.

Golden eagle/Charley Parker/Ch'al Andar

Half thanagarian half earthling superhero. Son of thanagarian fel andar(who himself is half n half) and human Sharon parker.

It's been a while since I read anything with him in it so can't say for sure who he's been romantically linked with.

Lilith clay/lilith Jupiter known as the heroine omen long time member of the titans organization.

a powerful telepath with the power of limited foresight as well as other abilities.

Been romantically linked to both gnarrk and garth/tempest

Garfield logan aka Beast boy/changeling

Much like lilith, gar is also a Long time member of the titans organization

a green-skinned superhero who has the power to transform into any animal. Originally a member of the Doom Patrol, he joined the Teen Titans after the death of the other Patrollers.

Romantically linked to notable titans terra/tara Markov in the main comic continuity and raven/rachel roth in alternative universes/continuities

Mary Elizabeth kane aka bat-girl/flamebird/hawkfire(we don't talk about hawkfire)

Athletic rich heiress. Professional tennis player. Flamebird to dicks Nightwing. First batgirl

Younger Biological 1st cousin of Bruce wayne and Kate kane. I love her so much. Much like lilith and Garfield bette is also a long time member of the titans organization.

Romantically had a crush on Nightwing since they were kids(before bette and bruce were said to be cousins) . It's also been heavily implied that she had a adult fling with hank hall during their time on titans west.

Hawk and dove

Twin brothers hank(red) and Don hall(blue)

Hawk and Dove are empowered by the mystical Lords of Chaos and Order.

Hanks a long time titans member same with Don but he died at one point.

Hanks been romantically linked to both bette kane and dawn granger/dove II(titans tv show)

Bumblebee and herald/vox/hornblower/guardian

Karen beecher-duncan and Malcom Duncan

I love them omg I love them.

In order to help make Herald look good in front of the team, Beecher secretly made herself a bumblebee-themed super-suit and attacked the Teen Titans. She escaped without this ruse being revealed.

When she later explained to Mal and the Titans what she had done, they were impressed enough to offer her membership, which she accepted.

Karen is a research engineer at star labs making non lethal weaponry and Malcom whose a accomplished jazz musician owns a nightclub called Gabriel horns. obviously married to one another. They have a family together to.

Gnarrk aka ape-boy/cave boy

Gnarrk was a 17-year-old caveman whom Teen Titans Mal Duncan and Kid Flash(wally) encountered on a trip to the Stone Age.they Accidentally brought gnarrk back. The titans helped him adapt to the modern age. Romantically link to lilith.

Duela dent

Aka harlequin(not to be confused with harley quinn)/jokers daughter

Another long time member of the titans organization

It was always an enigma who she was and where she came from, even to herself. She eventually discovered she was a reality-hopping inhabitant of Earth-3, and was not the Joker's daughter, but the daughter of the Jokester's(think heroic alternate joker from another universe) and Three-Face(female heroic alternate two face named Evelyn dent) as well as being the step daughter of earth 3s heroic riddler.

Romantically linked to a talon(think earth 3 evil version of the robins) Who wasn't actually named outside of his code name (but could be alt tim drake) who also crossed over into new earth as a titans member. So Romeo and juliet style romance.

Who's the Better Therapist?

Propaganda under the Cut

Ian Duncan:

While he may be morally grey when it comes to his therapy (Ex. He tried to write a book about Abed's breakdown) he does occasionally show actual concern for people andd their mental well-being (Ex. Notices the girl he likes very much is emotionally vulnerable and doesn't take advantage of that to fuck her and drives her home instead)

He is pretty damn good at his job when he's sober (he has a drinking issue)

He is like if a Costco paper bag was left outside in the rain

Dr. Malcom Crowe:

I mean he was a child psychologist in life and death. He succeeds so far in the therapy with the kid, Cole, that it leads to the ascension of many ghosts who had been trapped in the world. In the end he is so successful that he himself is able to move on, too. His methods of therapy are seen in his nature towards the child and the way he garners his trust.

How I would end an adaptation of Macbeth

This is for my Shakespear buddies out there.Now its been a while since I ve read Macbeth(!0 years to be precise) but while its a play I love....The ending is a bit weak and leaves open dangling threads,as such filmmakers have taken liberties a few of which I will use in this ending

*Macbeth and Mcduff engage in the final duel in the rain

Macbeth:I will not yield  To kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet  And to be baited with the rabble’s curse. 35 Though Birnam Wood be come to Dunsinane  And thou opposed, being of no woman born,  Yet I will try the last. Before my body  I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,  And damned be him that first cries “Hold! Enough!”

Macbeth is thenslain by Mcduff .Camera lingers on the body of Macbeth.....As the music kicks in.....Have You Ever Seen the Rain by Clerance Clearwater Revival

It then becomes a montage

Mcduff finss Malcolm and tosses him the crown

There is much rejoicing at the rightful king being crowned

Malcom is shown sitting alone in his thownroom,a wicked smile coming to his face

A cloacked figure is shown riding to the hut of the three witches ,to reveal himself to be Donalbain

Mcduff is shown riding through the woods where he glimpses the spirits of Duncan and Banquo ,seemingly leading him somewhere ,he nearly breaks down seeing the spirits of his family which leads him to Fleance,he welcomes the orphan to ride on his horse and they ride off together

Looking on as the ride is the spirits of Lord and Lady Macbeth .Their faces are full of rage and regret .The hold eatchothers hands,both smeared in blood and walk off into oblivion

So what do you think

art prompt: maybe you could draw your favourite Jurassic Park character hanging out with someone from Community?

This request has been in my asks for over a month, oop. Sorry 😅 Here is Dr. Malcom giving Dr. Duncan some material. Between the events of Jurassic Park and The Lost World, while promoting his book and being the only person to tell the truth about what happened on Isla Nublar… Malcolm was perceived as a bit more than eccentric. A perfect case for Duncan ; interesting and publishable

Just an unfinished warmup :>

I want to talk about Pearl’s final episode title, actually

The full quote is "by the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes" and it’s from one of the witches from The Tragedy Of Macbeth, talking about Macbeth. And similar to Macbeth, Pearl was led by ambition only to destroy herself, in a way. Her series show her ambition (protecting Tilly, having friends) leading to her getting called a witch and viewed as a bad omen. She may have won but she died at the hands of someone who, by fate, should’ve been her ally. Pearl was prophesized to be evil only falling into that path by trying to avoid it.

This does make Martyn a sort of Lady Macbeth character as the one pushing her to do dangerous and risky things for the sake of power, only to cause her downfall throughout the series to someone lonely and viewed as cursed. However this does also bring up the question if you could call him a malewi[I am forcibly removed from the stage]

Lady Macbeth is a character led by her desire for power only until she’s crushed under the weight of her guilt. Her death is anticlimactic but it holds so much weight because it signifies that Macbeth is alone both physically and mentally now. She was the one who pushed him to kill King Duncan, but Macbeth was the only one who dealt with the consequences (at first, at least). Her death is the last nail in the coffin for Macbeth’s fate, which was already prophesized twice by the three witches (supernatural forces lead by Hecate, queen of witches in the play but normally the Greek goddess of magic. looks over at Martyn’s watcher/listener lore. Looks away). So what I’m saying is Martyn could definitely be a Lady Macbeth character. The divorce vultures breaking up is the final sign of the end.

Scott as Macduff. he abandoned someone he should’ve been loyal but he sticks with the bonds he made in another place (he and Cleo’s alliance) and only returned to kill Pearl, in a way. Macduff fled to England after Duncan’s murder because he suspected Macbeth, slowly building up an army and being the one to kill him. Cleo/the divorce vultures were the army, with Cleo being Malcom (Macduff’s closest ally/the person he was leading the army with). Macduff also abandoned his family when he fled to England! Scott and Cleo abandoned Pearl and Martyn back out of spite. Yeah. Macduff’s family is also brutally murdered when Macbeth sends assassins after them. It completely interrupts a very peaceful/slightly hopeful scene without warning. It’s Pearl killing Martyn and Cleo.

The play doesn’t actually end after Macbeth’s death like you think it would (I think there are about five scenes afterwards just talking about/celebrating Macbeth’s death if I remember correctly. Like how ghosts of players hang around a bit after dying in basically all the series to spectate. How many were watching Pearl and Scott as they died?)

In a series about love there’s a lot of brutality and betrayal. They do nothing for you but let you live another day, let you get closer to winning. (Something Pearl would know well by the end of Double Life.) The life series is a tragedy. There’s no prize for winning, just loss. These are some of The key themes in Macbeth. In conclusion I need to walk into a forest and never return.

#double life spoilers #pearlescentmoon #scott smajor #martyn inthelittlewood #zombiecleo #i am not normal about this but God i wish i was. im in hell #if you have any additions to this feel free to add to this. i need somebody to be insane with me #caro is talkin

[bluiex]

okay i need you to hear me out

Hermitcraft Macbeth AU

I’m sure you are aware of Macbeth, but if you aren’t- it’s one of shakespeare’s (in my opinion) best tragedies.

I’m working on a couple of this fics so i probably won’t get around to this until november or december BUT im planning it out rn (currently on Act 3, scene 5)

for the casting, I was thinking:

(Macbeth and Lady Macbeth would be siblings in this AU btw, because sibling duo is superior)

Macbeth- Grian

Lady Macbeth- Pearl

Banquo- Mumbo

Fleance- Purpled

Witch- Joe hills

Macduff- Bdubs

King Duncan- Rendog

Lennox- Scar

Malcome- Cleo

Donalbain- Etho

1st Murderer- Tommy

2nd Murderer- Tubbo

3rd Murderer- Ranboo

Again, i’m still on act 3 scene 5 so i’m aware these are not the only characters!! I’m going to be adding to this list as i read more. There are also some little tweaks im going to add (example being instead of 3 witches there is only 1).

I’m really excited to start this fic, so i just wanted to share and maybe hype it up a little bit!!!

-🦉 anon

Gonna be real. Haven't read Macbeth since 9th grade LMAO (tho I do remember the characters cuz i was inlove with the meaning behind the story)

And having Macbeth and Lady Macbeth sibling for Grian and Pearl 😭 I love that SO much

These are good pics for the characters I think!! I'm actually super excited to see how yiu write this!! Please share more when you get the chance

Day one: My Diary for CK3 that no one asked for.

It's been over a year since I played... I have a total of 125 hours in the game..and have the slightest of slight on how to play.

Date: 10/20/1070 AD

Name: King Malcolm III "Canmore" Of Scotland. Wife: Queen Ingebjorg Finnsdatter of Scotland

Children: Donald- Duncan- Malcom, & Taco my only daughter.

I forgot that I was an absent father and husband before I left the game. When I came back my wife and I had daughter named Taco. Little did I know, She had a hostile scheme against me... Well I made her a court physician. She tried to poison me! It caused me to be disfigured. Fighting for my LIFE I decided to murder her. Now I have a new wife, I must sway. My New wife is Brave,Generous, Sadistic, and a charming negotiator. She is 33.

I am at war with some Duke. I am in over my head, I have allied with Denmark, because I accidently betrothed my 6 year old son to his 16 year old daughter. And to Norway; for pretty much same reason.

The very disrespectful Duke Mael-Snechtai of Moray is starting a faction against me to be dethroned.

Mean while... My NEW wife just had TACO TACO! 2 daughters in the fam!

NOOOOOOO My new wife died from child birth to my third Daughter :(

1/8/1077 AD

My New new wife..already promising. She has educated Taco and Taco Taco; as well as My Heir Duncan.

I'm being over taxed; and I lost the first war. Lost 200 Gold. I did get tossed in jail by the Rude Duke above.

I did however escape! And now I am plotting his murder. The scheme failed twice, and only added hard ship and stress to my life.

Some how Taco Taco is in Jail..she's 3?!?! She remained in jail for 2 years.

Oh crud, I accidently hit on my Daughter in law AHH and she has the plague!

Holy mother it's now 3/8/1082 AD and I have 4 Grandchildren. Rick Sanchez, Snail, Ichigo, & Salami

I have almost to much stress due to me plotting the murder of the king who took my place.

I accidently betrothed my 2nd son to a lesbian, now I have no hope of a son for him. whooops

The end for now.

PS if you read this I hope you laughed, because this game is hilarious!

#gaming #ck3 #newbie

[krunchycrispy]

What is it with Thanes of Cawdor trying to screw over Duncan? Twice in one play. Dr Doofensmirtz gets two nickels from the play alone.

Imagine this being a regular thing.

Duncan twice a week: Aw shit- Malcom, other son who we only see once in the whole play, buckle up. Another Thane of Cawdor has committed treason. Someone summon the army!

SNM 5-Show Speedrun

Well, like many of us in the community, my "last ever" visit in December 2023 turned out to just be the start of my journey with this show. With the perpetual extensions and the announcement of the Remixed show, I hauled my ass across the continent for another round of mischief. This time around I had some dear friends from the Discord community waiting for me.

Show #1 (Sunday matinee)

Miguel completely charmed me with his pre-elevator speech! I don't know him very well but I absolutely loved his energy and his hair was styled so beautifully.

Loop 1: Malcolm (Tim Creavin):

This was a truly magnificent way to start off my visit - Tim C's Malcolm is dearly beloved by my Discord bestie and we were so hoping we'd have some luck with looping him together on the 3 shows we had together that week. To see him dancing with Gabe's Boy Witch in the ballroom filled me with gleeful agitation. The Hotel was already providing <3. Tim's Malcolm went absolutely ham thrashing on the stairs after being hexed by Boy Witch; I knew we were really in for a treat with this poor fellow. Up in the Detective Agency, I was unbelievably lucky to get pulled for Malcolm's 1:1 - again, what a way to start off my return to the hotel 😭😭. I had mistakenly thought the 1:1 happened in the darkroom so I was thrilled to get dragged along to a completely new space. I feel like when you get a 1:1 for the first time everything is a blur, so I won't do the sequence a disservice by trying to list everything that happened 😅. What I do remember is the amount of times I supported this poor man's body in my arms as he thrashed and coughed and choked... Malc bb we have GOT to keep it together if we're gonna solve this case 😭. I'm glad I had gotten intel about Tim C's enthusiasm with the forearm to the throat moment because I could practically feel the anatomy of my windpipe against his arm like SIR 😭. I came out of the 1:1 gasping and joined back up with my friend for a wellness check 😅. We're back baby!!!

Tim C continued to thrill through his scenes and he absolutely broke my heart at the banquet finale - he really emulated a boyish grief as he nestled himself into Andrew R's Duncan's waist. Back upstairs when Malcolm was sitting at his typewriter, I knew the razor scene was coming. This is not a triggering concept for me and I had seen this scene before without being too distressed, but this time around it hit me really hard. The combination of Tim C's ability as a performer and the moments we had shared earlier in the 1:1 had instilled the most unexpected affection and care for his Malcolm and I found myself moved to tears. I moved away to catch my breath and fortunately my friend was close at hand to make sure I was coping all right. It was inexplicably sweet to finish up that loop with the shaving scene - Tim and Andrew are absolutely perfect together. It felt so right to close the loop with a giggle at Malcom's authentic guffawing when Duncan fell back in surprise during the pivotal moment of the scene.

Loop 2: Fate Witch (Junyla Simons):

After being put through the absolute wringer chasing Malcolm up and down the stairs, my ability to follow Fate was a bit diminished 😅. Junyla was SO flirty and teasing as she hexed Spencer's Banquo. I had never seen the Fulton-Fate morgue scene before and that was a really exciting sequence! I had the best view of the rave yet and Junyla was absolutely mesmerizing as she thrashed under the strobe lights. My jaw dropped when she screamed. Blood curdling is the only way I can describe it and I have so much respect for her putting her voice through that kind of stress for our benefit. Her post-rave dance was such a showstopper - the way Junyla threw herself around with so little inhibition was thrilling. At that point Fate's crowd was feeling unpleasantly full so I had to abandon ship. I'm a bit sad as this meant I've never been able to catch Fate's scene with Speaks but I just couldn't put myself through the jostling and elbowing anymore.

Loop 3: Wandering!

For this trip, I wanted to be able to poke around parts of the set I'd never seen before and catch some of my favourite sequences again. I was able to catch Aliza Danvers and Doug Macduff's door dance from a great angle, much better than the last time I had seen this pas de deux. I jumped back up to the Lobby and caught Gabe Boy Witch's Is That All There Is - I didn't know this was Gabe's last day so it was very lucky that I caught it. Boy and his emotional arc have been a favourite of mine from the beginning, so I was excited to see what Gabe brought to this scene. He was so sweet and demure as he emulated Peggy Lee and ended the number very vulnerably and shyly. Bon voyage Gabe 😭. I poked around Duncan's quarters and was finally able to make sense of where all the rooms were in relation to one another. I enjoyed the moments of quiet leafing through the props and petting the various taxidermy 😅. When I don't really know how to wrap up a show, I usually follow Nurse and Matron to the Macbeth residence to watch them clean up the bathtub and make the bed. It's become a very meditative and blissfully quiet way to end the show. The finale was a showstopper as usual and I couldn't believe my luck when Georgia as Nurse turned from the balcony and gave me the walkout. I learned the next day that this was her last day so that was unbelievably special. We exchanged lots of smiles as we made our way back to the bar and she gave me the sweetest hug.

Show #2 (Sunday evening):

Once in the Manderlay Bar my buddies were buzzing about how Mallory was playing the role of Woman in Bar that night. I had never met Mal and didn't know very much about her, but I could tell she was someone very special! Moments later I met her character, and yeah, the rumours are true y'all. Mal is dripping with charisma! I joke that if these cast members started a cult I'd be one of the first ones in the white outfit shedding my earthly possessions and sitting at their feet - Mal is definitely one of those people who could likely convince me of just about anything.

Loop 1: Lady Macduff (Georgia Usborne):

The Lady Duff... I have made most of my career out of working with pregnant folks so I had been avoiding this character.. However I really couldn't resist her anymore and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw beautiful Georgia on in the ballroom. As I was fresh off her walkout I felt like it was meant to be. As she collapsed into an audience member's arms in the ballroom her hand fell into my lap so I took it and tried to give her some reassurance as she woke. I followed her up to her quarters (not without giving Danvers a withering glare) and magically she took me in for the 1:1. When she opened with the words "you're finally here!" I couldn't help but smile given we'd just had our walkout together hours earlier. Her Lady Duff was so tender as she spoke to me, but her body language betrayed her immense anxiety. Being a reformed church girl I am such a sucker for any religious elements, so her crosses of protection really got me good 😭. I safely tucked the packet of salt into my skirt and away we went. My hatred of Danvers grew exponentially as I watched her toy with my Lady, it was so heartbreaking to watch Danvers humiliate this innocent young mother. I wasn't sure how Lady Duff's murder would affect me so I positioned myself near the back of the audience so I could have an exit strategy. Her fight with Zach's Macbeth was incredibly athletic, but very difficult to watch. Fortunately I was perfectly positioned to see Georgia slam her hand against the wall as Macbeth "killed" her so I could avoid any feelings of overwhelm in that moment. As she awoke she looked so confused and lost. We held eye contact for a moment and then she left.

Loops 2 & 3: Fulton (Spencer William Grossman) & Taxi (Tim Creavin)

I decided not to do a full Lady Duff loop as I had just done a Macduff loop in December and wanted to see as much new content as possible before I had to (possibly?) check out permanently. As I hopped between 2 characters for 2 loops I'm kind of merging all the content I saw into one sequential loop. Between character moments I also got to check out all the remaining rooms and spaces I hadn't yet seen on Gallow Green. I went up to 4th to find Fulton and Spencer was such a treat in this role! I found myself absorbed in all the quirks his character displayed as he focused on his rituals. He was so charming with Agnes but sadly I lost him for a while after he chased after her.

When it came time for Taxi to emerge, my friend was able to come find me as I worried I would miss his entrance. In strides Tim Creavin with the most glorious middle part I have ever seen. This man was SLICK with gel. As many have discussed, Tim C is all chaos all the time. Doug Speaks came into the Taxidermy shop at one point and took one of the candies laid in tribute at the feet of our poor Turkey. Taxi was already eating a candy of his own but was obviously displeased at Speaks taking one for himself, so he both snorted like a pig and obnoxiously open-mouthed chewed his candy in Speaks' direction 😅.

When he went to visit (harass) Fulton, he took what I think was a taxidermied caiman head with him. He made the head "walk" along Fulton's desk towards him, and Fulton very paternally smiled as if to say "what are you doing, please don't". Taxi of course continues the assault and the caiman head starts to make its way over the side of the desk and down towards Fulton's pants 😅. Fulton puts a stop to this, and Taxi was very upset so he grabbed Fulton's dress form on wheels and dragged it stomping back to his office. He tried to put the caiman head onto the neck of the dress form but it didn't stay on, so he found another skull and somehow secured it better. He put his coat onto the dress form and then made "hands" for his creation out of antlers, placing one hand in the chest pocket of the coat. He then took peacock feathers out of a vase and filled the eye holes of the skull with them. Satisfied, he rolled his masterpiece back to Fulton and gestured as if to say "look". Spencer Fulton was the perfect foil to Tim C's Taxi, so demure and indulgent of Taxi's childlike shenanigans 😅. Their dance sequences were absolutely incredible, these were more numbers I hadn't seen before and I was blown away. It's so special to be so up close and personal to such exciting art!

I followed Fulton to the Speakeasy and his dance with Doug Speaks was so unexpectedly flirtatious! I have never looped Speaks so I don't know much about his character past the moments I've seen of him as I've looped other characters, but the way he teased Fulton to check him for witch's marks was really effective. I met up unexpectedly with Tim's Taxi after his first 1:1 pull and a small group of us followed him up to the 5th floor cemetery. Taxi placed whatever he was holding through the gate and then just... lay face down with his neck on the cross bar of the gate. I was like can you breathe?? Very evocative of planking. He finally got up up and started doing the most feral yoga sequence in front of the gate, from extended child's pose to wheel to humping the air to beating the ground, over and over and over and faster each time. VERY unusual to witness 😅.

I found myself sticking with Fulton as he huddled off to the side while the witches passed in preparation for the rave. I followed his crowd to the Rep Bar and most of the White Masks didn't notice Fulton had stopped at the wall opposite the doorway, so I ended up right next to him. Fulton became more and more distressed as the rave gained momentum, alternating between scrabbling along the floor towards the doorway and cowering against the wall. Once the scene hit its peak, Fulton's eyes crossed and rolled back into his head; he turned and "looked" at me each time this happened and it was SO intense and unexpected. On the final "possession" he rose up from the floor and dragged his body up my legs and waist, I was so at a loss for how to help him so I just held him at his back like "ride the wave friend and hopefully this will be over soon" 😅. We eventually left and watched Macbeth and Banquo fight - again, no one seemed to be following Fulton too closely so he and I stood on the raised platform to watch together through the shelf.

We fearfully watched Hecate pass from inside the funeral home before returning to his office . Suddenly he stopped and looked up at me - other than at the rave, Fulton never seemed to acknowledge any of us WMs so this was quite surprising! He took a charm on a red string and held it up to me with a questioning look on his face. I nodded and dipped my head to receive it. He offered me his hand and down we went to the ballroom! The stair crowd was quite pushy and at times we were almost separated and I had to raise our arms to keep his hand in mine. He would look back at me like girl what are you doing 😅. I have never had a walkout where we watched the finale from the ballroom level so I was very excited, but very much trying to match Fulton's religious anxiety. Initially we watched together from the back of the crowd and as Macbeth and Banquo toasted each other, I looked at him with concern and he met my energy perfectly. We found our way to the front and when it came time for the crowd to be moved back, people were NOT having it. Spencer had to turn and face the crowd to really intimidate people into stepping back. We stepped forward together and held each other and I saw Noah Banquo shaking his head as he coiled the rope around its hook - I realized I was in for my first strangling finale! Fulton and I continued to exchange worried looks and when it came for Macbeth to meet his end I clung onto him for dear life. It was so much more intense to see Macbeth's bloody and manic face up close as he fought against his friends. Instead of one long squeeze, Fulton gave me a series of squeezes and it almost felt like he was comforting me instead of trying to intensify the experience. As the lights came up we turned and looked at each other almost as if to say we'd better get out of here before we're next! Off we went to the Manderlay Bar and again Fulton was too sweet. He looked at me questioningly and waited for my nod before slowly removing my mask and giving me a hug, and that was the end of my double day!

Show #3 - Remix!

The energy in the chat for Remix was so electric and the tailgate party was unmatched. We had a friendship bracelet making station, pizza party, dessert trays, and just a wonderful time clowning around. It was so great to put faces to names from the Discord and share in the excitement together. We were handed golden masks before the elevator and we all giggled as the doors opened to Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" on the 5th floor.

Loop 1: Banquo (Javon "Ja'Moon" Jones)

I planned to start with a single character loop and I ended up choosing Banquo once I made it to the ballroom. I was so caught up in the excitement that I hardly remember any of the song differences but I'm sure other people have made records. To have the ballroom pop off with Felix Jaehn's "Ain't Nobody" was SO energizing and it was way too fun clapping and cheering when Duncan got lifted in 😭. Despite it being the first loop it felt very crowded, the consequences of a building full of professional WMs! I still enjoyed all of Banquo's dances (and boy he has so many of them!) and when it came time for his murder, Smooth Criminal was blasting in the Speakeasy. Macbeth and Banquo punctuated the scene with MJ vocalizations which made it absolutely hilarious. I had a very embarrassing moment where DLP Macduff was trying to get me to move out of his way in the Taxi shop - he rested his hand quite gently on my shoulder and I assumed it was one of my friends saying hi, so I simply placed my hand over top of his and kept walking for a few paces. I turned to see who it was and was met with the most enormous shoulders in a white button down and immediately knew no one from the Discord was rocking that kind of wingspan (no one that I've met anyway). I jumped out of his way and gave him a very apologetic touch on the arm as he passed.

Loop 2: I had hoped to bounce around on the 4th floor to catch different sequences and move away from crowds as necessary, but I obviously don't know the show as well as I thought as I was met with a lot of empty and dark rooms! I did manage to catch Jordan's Boy Witch Pool Table dance but I was quite far back. I was hoping to catch a Malcolm and Agnes dance but it turned into a Malcolm procedural scene as Agnes missed her cue (laugh). I made it to the rave and despite being a few rows deep it was AWESOME. Killing in the Name by Rage and Faint by Linkin Park were so nostalgic for my millennial heart and the bass was REALLY bassing. The crowds dispersed enough for me to enjoy Fate's dance on the bar (to the original score) and I stuck with Hecate for a couple beats just to get a break from the crowds.

Loop 3: I hopped down to the Lobby and got a pretty good view of the prophecy scenes (possibly also to the original score?). At this point Issa had swapped in for Boy and they lip synced to Diamonds are Forever - Boy was so impossibly glam in this moment and we were eating it up. It was so fun to holler and clap for him! I LOVED Will Porter's happy dance to "I Wanna Dance with Somebody", especially since I hadn't seen it since my first visit last November. When it was Boy's turn to dance in the phone booth, Ginuwine's Pony was blasting and Issa COMPLETELY devoured it. I think most of us can agree that Boy is pretty damn enticing but in that moment... It was borderline illegal. Once Boy darted off to the 4th floor I decided to wrap things up in the Macbeth apartment as I was feeling at a bit of a loss at where to go next and knew I would find Nurse and Matron there eventually - I watched Chantelle Lady Beth solo dance to Heart's "Alone" which was awesome. All sequences after that were to the usual score. She bathed Sean Macbeth (another sequence I hadn't seen since my first visit), I watched her suitcase room dance, and then eventually Nurse and Matron came in to tidy up. I followed them down to balcony and then the show was finished!

The afterparty was very fun, to spend more time in the Manderlay Bar and the Lobby was so great. The drinks were flowing and to be honest I'm shocked I found my way home to my hostel intact. I'm so glad the Discord server exists because there's no way any of us could have seen everything in that show, so it's been cool to read other folks' recaps!

Show #4: Wednesday Evening

I was very grateful to have a day off from the show on Tuesday - between the double on Sunday and the marathon event that was Remix my body and mind desperately needed the break. On Wednesday evening NYC was experiencing a pretty juicy thunderstorm so we were let into the hotel at 6:30! That was a first for me.

Loops 1 & 2: Fulton (Javon "Ja'Moon" Jones")

I initially started out with Issa's Boy Witch but I got a bit distracted by Tim J's Porter and lost Issa for a bit. Once I went up to the High Street I found Ja'Moon's Fulton and made a clutch decision to pivot from Boy. I followed him from room to room as he gathered materials, performed rituals, and peered out through windows. This was a very nice and quiet loop, which was a breath of fresh air! He had this beautiful rhythm of securing his hair before each ritual, whether it was taken down in the scene following or it fell down on its own I always seemed to miss it happening!

Towards the end of his narrative loop he put on his coat and secured his tie - a few of us were looking at him in the mirror and he made eye contact with me for the first time. I was so so lucky to have a hand extended to me and Fulton and I went to the mortuary. We initially joined hands in prayer, and then Fulton seemed to be in multiple places at once, first next to me reading my palm with ash, then clambering up the shelves to access various bottles and jars, placing a line of ash down my forehead, and I think at one point he was up on the mortuary table? He spoke to me not in English (I believe Ja'Moon has been known to speak French Creole in their one on ones, as I believe they did in my Boy Witch 1:1 with them last December). He blew a palmful of ash up into the air and the way it danced in the light completely captured my imagination; it was so beautiful! He gifted me a charm of protection that he retrieved from what felt like an impossibly high spot in the room and then stood in the corner holding my mask up at my eye level - I walked into it and he secured it which was SUCH a cool way to receive my mask back! I was guided back to the Funeral Home, the door was slammed, and I was alone with a Black Mask! I was still standing there processing when Doug Speaks bursts through the door and looks at me with the most hysterical expression on his face... So irreverent and almost teasing, like "wow you really thought that little Christian man was all that huh". He turned and spun one of the crosses on the wall around on its nail and then strode out to the High Street. This was such a funny character moment from Doug - in the 5 shows I attended he will have worked every single one and while I'm sad I never got to loop him, I really enjoyed that moment we shared.

When Fulton pelted his window with (salt? Whatever those cubes were) I couldn't help but laugh quietly, it was just so comically ineffective. Ja'Moon's Fulton was beautifully paired with Hailey's Agnes and Ja'Moon played the hopeful lover boy so well. They ate a HUGE mouthful of jelly beans in Paisley Sweets before playing "eenie meenie minie mo" to choose a candy for Agnes, funnily enough he didn't end up choosing the one his finger landed on 😅. As Agnes left and Fulton continued to wander and complete his rituals, we started to gather more and more of a crowd. I was far in the back at this point as I had accidentally bumped the back of Ja'Moon's shoe earlier in the loop and I felt so terrible. By the time it came time to go down to the 3rd floor cemetery it was pretty full and some folks in their excitement started to overtake Fulton on the pathway. He turned and gestured to say "no", got to the end of the path, and threw down their umbrella - naughty WMs don't get the privilege of helping their character!! I finished off my loop with another showstopping Fate/Fulton mortuary dance and off I went to the rave!

Loops 2 & 3: Boy Witch (Issa)

I cannot have a trip to the Hotel without getting a least 1 Boy Witch loop under my belt, so I followed Issa's Boy in the direction of the shower room. Someone pushed past me to be first behind them and as Issa went to close the door, the person tried to fight them to keep it open?? I was so shook and embarrassed on their behalf. When Issa finally wrenched the door closed I decided why not just hang around Taxi's little back office and tail Boy once he's ready to rock again. I got to see Jordan's Taxi come out which was awesome but fae already had a huge crowd and I feared that could be a cursed loop for audience behaviour, even though I was completely charmed by her James at the top of the show. Boy eventually emerged and I poked my head out from Taxi's side room so as to not startle him with my stalker-ish behaviour. I tailed him to the Banquet and positioned myself for a good vantage point for his part in the tableau. Issa completely killed their spotlight dance post-Banquet, making complete use of the space and the light, and it was lovely to not be too crowded in that moment. It was just stunning.

Back up to the Lobby we went and it was eventually time for Boy's lip sync. I have been lucky enough to see 3 different performers' versions of this scene so I was on the edge of my proverbial seat wondering what Issa would bring. Things were going pretty swimmingly until that third verse - Issa brought a level of emotion that was completely unexpected and raw. I have certainly gotten misty eyed in this Hotel but that final verse and the closing had my eyes and nose streaming. Issa hadn't chosen anyone to sit in the "main" chair for the performance so I wasn't sure what was coming next, but after Boy got his tissue from the Porter, he reached over a couple heads to pull me forward and wipe his tears. I had rather long and pointy black nails on and as I was still crying I watched in horror as Issa guided my index finger under his eye and the point of my nail dragged across his lower lid. I deliberately twisted my hand with the second wipe so I couldn't accidentally maim him (I have to assume they could see my nails in their field of vision and knew what they were doing but I was so worried). Fortunately they seemed unharmed and off we trotted to the telephone booth. It goes without saying Issa occupies nearly all of the vertical space in that booth and I just peeked up at them through my tears. I got my whispered message and my kiss and then it was time for the ballroom!

Tim C was on as Malcolm and since my eyes were following Issa I got to enjoy Tim C's character moments as well. His Malcolm is a perfectly Charlie Brown-like, little old me character - whenever someone would cut in and steal his partner, he would give the crowd a little look and a shrug like "well, what can you do?". I just love getting those little unexpected morsels of character moments. Issa flirted and teased and thrashed their way to the Rave and this time I got myself a better viewing point. Junyla absolutely stole the show again with her Fate Witch screams, nothing but pure terror in that moment!

Then it was back to the shower room and since Issa's Boy had not invited us in on the last loop I wanted to follow at a respectful distance and let the scene play out as they wanted it to. The door stayed open and a few of us filed in. Once Boy was done in the shower he pointed very defeatedly at the towel without looking at anyone. Not wanting to hog Boy's attention I didn't make a move, but when no one else did anything for several beats I finally snatched it and thrust it into his hand - terribly self conscious that it wasn't meant for me. The same thing happened with the shirt, he didn't look at any of us but simply pointed at the shirt, and when no one else moved I grabbed it. I couldn't figure out how to hang the hanger back onto the stall and I was terrified someone would slip on it so I shoved it underneath the stall very awkwardly 😅. Issa has impossibly long limbs so it took a bit of maneuvering to get their hands in both sleeves simultaneously and guide the shirt up onto their shoulders. They put their underwear, socks, and knee sleeves on and then sat down. They held out their pants and I made a slow move to take them but they yoinked them out of my grasp and handed them to the person next to me 😅. This blessed individual fumbled back and forth to find the front (in fairness the suspenders make it terribly confusing), Issa stuck their feet up in the air to receive the pants, and the poor WM made a mild attempt at assisting them before panicking and giving up. Boy ROLLED his eyes rudely, shimmied the pants up, and then turned to me and extended his hands for a boost up. I took his hands and he made the most minimal effort to support his own weight. I popped the deepest squat I can to find some power and hauled this tree of a human upright. I'm pretty sure a grunt escaped my lips with the effort. Issa tucked in their shirt (but didn't bother with the buttons), laughed in our faces, and ran off to the ballroom. It was absolutely hysterical.

I had a great vantage point for the hanging, nice and close to enjoy all of Sean Macbeth's emotional reactions as he processed his execution. I left that show on such a high having had so many funny and emotional experiences!

Show #5: Thursday Evening

My final show of my trip 😭. I had felt so completely spoiled by Ja'Moon and Issa the night before that I walked into this show feeling zero sense of urgency or desperation to see anything in particular. It was such a full circle moment to find Tim C and Robyne in the bar. Robyne was a favourite performer of mine in December both as Hecate and Simone in bar and Tim had given me so many wonderful moments as Malcolm and Taxi this visit. We had some lovely chats and then off we popped into the elevator. Who should be playing the role of James but Issa! I'd like to think they remembered me from our loop the day before but what do I know 😅. After the elevator spiel, I found myself on the elusive 6th floor of the hotel 😭😭😭. I found myself in a very dark and unfamiliar hallway. I turned a corner to find Noah waiting for me - Noah is another all-time great in my books. Their interpretation of Banquo, the vulnerability they showed and their dance ability all blew me away back in December. To see Noah standing there was so so special. Embarrassingly I am still somewhat afraid of the dark, so I was quite literally clinging to Noah for dear life when the lights went down. Noah executed everything perfectly and I found myself crying as they spoke about how we would never be able to go back to Manderlay. I didn't know about the flash paper or the costume change, so that completely thrilled me! The wheelchair excursion was absolutely beautiful and everything was just... perfect. The combination of the set, the lighting, the sound design, and Noah's performance... I was floored. Sadly it had to come to a close and I was sent on my way.

Loop 2: Bald Witch (Ruth Howard)

I caught my breath in the stairwell and pivoted to the ballroom where I wanted to catch up with Bald Witch for a first-time loop. I found her as she was about to reset the trees post-Banquet and for a brief moment she and I were alone in a quiet corner of the ballroom. She lovingly caressed my mask and breathed a few lines into my ear. I was immediately hers and knew I was locked in for an incredible loop. Bald had an equally committed friend following (if it was someone in the Discord, you had a lovely vibe!) so I knew I would be sharing her affection that evening. I finally got to see the Bald and Fate grooming/prep session in the tiny parlour off the Lobby - it's so special to pop into a completely new space! It was so intimate and cozy in there. I was starting to get too warm to keep my hair down and tucked my hair up into a clip - Bald caught me doing this in the mirror and gave me a cheeky wink as she was securing her own hair. I was in the pretty ladies club 🥺. Bald v. Ja'Moon's Banquo was wonderful as always, but Banquo had amassed quite a crowd so I didn't have the best vantage point. I was in for a treat with two new sequences post-ballroom: Bald's transformation dance and her fight with Macduff. WOW is Ruth an incredible dancer! Her articulation and use of the space were so so stunning. My heart filled to see Doug Macduff enter the space, like I mentioned earlier he has been such a constant presence for me this week and it was so special to see some more dance content from him. These two were very evenly matched and it was just an excellent sequence.

Rave was awesome as usual, Ruth did choose her loyal follower for the dry-off but I think she knew she also had my heart as she gave me a little tickle under the chin afterwards, as if to say "and I love you too". It takes very little to charm me 😅. I hadn't spent a ton of time in the apothecary or seen Bald's post-rave scene before, so it was all so exciting! After she left I decided to skip the second banquet scene and find something new while I still had time.

Loop 2.75: Matron (Ilana Gilovich)

I found myself drawn up to the 5th floor as I had only spent time there once in a very crowded Nurse loop and then briefly while following Taxi. I walked through the wooded maze to check in on Matron - she wasn't in but I decided to just enjoy the cool air and the spooky vibes. Soon enough Matron came up the maze without anyone following her. I met her halfway and followed behind, then watched her enter her hut and close the door. I was hopeful she might re-open the door and invite me in so I hung around, but eventually she opened the window and chose someone else who had was standing in the right spot (I didn't realize it was the "right spot" at the time 😅). I stayed behind to enjoy the audio being played in the maze and the vibes. Eventually Matron exited the hut and wandered back down the maze. I was mesmerized as she scrawled in chalk on the post - the combination of the pleasant coolness, the low crowds, and the incomparable performance ability of THE Dr Ilana Gilovich was just perfection. As she inverted over and the light hit her from the hut, my imagination was sparked in a whole new way. This was one of those iconic Sleep No More moments that will stay with me for a long time.

Haley as Nurse came along the maze and helped Matron back to her hut. I watched the rocking chair scene and again stayed at the doorway hoping I might be able to meet Matron on my own. I realized after she pulled someone else again that one really had to be by the window in order to catch her eye 😅. So, I decided I would stay for just a little while longer and if it wasn't in the cards for me I would move on. After Matron ushered the WM she chose out of the hut, she closed the door and most of the other guests left the area. I peeked through the cracks in the shingles and was amazed to see Ilana performing all alone in the hut! I could only see little slivers of it which only made it all the more thrilling. Again, something about this moment was so serene and satisfying. I hung around a little while longer, Matron opened the window, and her eyes landed on me 🥺.

As I entered her hut, I feel like I was whipping my head around trying to take everything in. I took my seat at her invitation and she prepared tea for me, asking me wordlessly whether I took cream and sugar. I can honestly say I've never been spoon fed a liquid like that as an adult, so I had to think a bit about the best way to accept it without making a mess 😅. After 3 spoonfuls we settled into the story she had for me. This storytelling experience was one of the most real and raw experiences I've had in the McKittrick. Again, the sound, the lighting, and Ilana's impeccable performance had my eyes widening in fear and watering in despair. I was completely devastated in that moment. Ilana handled me extra gently as she brought the experience to a close and looked at me longingly as I gazed up from the stairs. Once she closed the door, I essentially ran crying through the maze and down the stairs to find my sweet Robyne/Simone in bar. I've always smiled at the PIB line that mentions coming back to the Manderlay Bar if things become too intense - I have had a lot of intense experiences in this Hotel, but nothing quite like my experience with Matron. I just needed to leave the space and catch my breath (and wipe my eyes).

Loop 3: PIB (Robyne Parrish, Karen Marie Richardson, and Tim Creavin) and Duncan (Miguel Anaya)

I grabbed some water and eventually found Robyne and Karen seated in the back of the bar. They were so patient with my sniffling ass and helped me catch my breath. Then, Robyne turned to me asked, "have you seen our special little corner of the bar?". I replied that I hadn't. She asked me "would you like to go see it?". I nodded yes. She took me by the hand to a room I'd never noticed before where Tim C as Theo was waiting for me. The PIB 1:1 has been scripted online already so I won't butcher it here, but Tim showed the greatest tenderness and care to me in that moment. His message mean a lot to me then and there but it has continued to unfurl for me as I've returned home. I returned to Robyne and Karen with fresh tears and they apologized for not really helping in that department 😅. I chatted with them for a few more minutes while I dried my eyes and decided it was time to hop back into the show to say goodbye.

I made my way down to the ballroom where the final tableau was being set. I had the most wonderful "behind the curtain" view I've ever had - I was off to the side where I could see all the hidden details of the cast supporting each other through the finale. A hand to boost another up onto the table, the clipping of a harness, a gentle squeeze on the ankle to signal all was proceeding as it should. I'd never noticed how Boy and Bald slip under the table and I enjoyed seeing Duncan just lay down quietly on the floor 😅. It was a perfect finish as usual, and as I took my eyes off of Macbeth, I turned to see Miguel's Duncan smiling down at me from the stage stairs and reaching out his hand to me. I took it gratefully and made that final climb to the Manderlay Bar while exchanging the sweetest of smiles with Duncan. Tim C as Theo was welcoming us back and he also gave me the loveliest of smiles seeing me hand in hand with Duncan. I held onto that final hug a little tighter and squeezed his hands once more before saying goodbye.

Final Thoughts:

This trip was so much more than I ever thought it could be. I was so warmly welcomed into the fold by everyone in the fandom and it was so beautiful to have friends to chat excitedly with in line and debrief with after in the Bar. While I left the trip exhausted, my soul was also fed in so many ways. Thank you to everyone who I met who made this experience what it was. Love to all of you 💗💗💗.
