For a guy whose whole gimmick is imitating dead supervillains, you are VERY bad at impressions. You blew your cover the second you had Blackout speak two full sentences in sequence. Captain America 427

dan and blair being paralleled to mike and tracy from the philadelphia story is so evil because you'd expect them to change the ending and not have the woman end up with her abusive ex but they do just that

#they do the opposite of that and do just that. i didn't know how to word it #like you guys should've let go of the parallel we've evolved now i think #i don't know how many people have actually seen the movie since it's 80+ years old but they watch it so you should too the parallel isn't #far-fetched and the movie's good if you ignore what i just mentioned #ck dexter (cary grant): chuck mike (james stewart): dan tracy (katharine hepburn): blair #the guy tracy was gonna marry: louis #again #if my and the gg writers' paths every cross it's on sight #dair #and like i say: brf slt

I promise I'm going to stop talking about William Haines at some point. BUT. Something just occurred to me, and I think I'm thoroughly convinced that Guy Dexter is meant to be a composite character of Ronald Colman—who is actually cited as an inspiration in the official film companion—and Haines—who isn't. There are some aspects that were probably made up, of course, or borrowed from other actors (neither of them went by stage names, for example), but I think the essentials are all there.

Ronald Colman:

was a British-born actor

had a pencil moustache

successfully made the transition from sound to talkies

in part because he had a good voice (his career-defining trait, as a matter of fact)

and because he capitalized on his accent by starring in British novel adaptations and period pieces

William Haines:

had no theatre experience (Colman did)

was discovered while working intermittently as a model

also transitioned from sound to talkies (although for unrelated reasons his career was shakier than Colman's)

was gay and very open about it, even by Hollywood's standards

convinced his partner to move to LA with him after a "brief, whirlwind romance"

his partner, Jimmie Shields, spent most of his time supervising their staff and keeping house (Shields was nominally employed as an extra and stand-in but never seriously pursued an acting career)

Colman continued to work in film, radio, and television until his death in the late 1950s. Haines was pushed out of MGM in 1934, but he went on to have an extremely successful career in interior design, and was in a relationship with Jimmie Shields from 1926 until his death in 1973.

Most of the info (and the quote) on Haines is from William J. Mann's biography Wisecracker, which I have almost finished and highly recommend. There is also a biography of Ronald Colman, written by his daughter Juliet Benita Colman, which I have but haven't read yet. Based on what I've found about Colman already, it seems that he was more an inspiration for film career as opposed to personal life or background. But there we have it! Guy Dexter irl.

Es ist einer dieser Filme, in denen der Juwelenraub eigentlich schön geklappt hätte, wenn sich alle an die abgesprochene Aufteilung der Beute gehalten hätten. Diesmal allerdings in noir, nicht lustig, illusionslos und düster. Das Leben im Asphalt Dschungel ist halt kein Ponyhof, will man trotzdem angesichts der Pferdkoppeln im ländlichen Raum, nach denen sich Sterling Hayden (rechts unten) zurücksehnt kalauern.

What to Read After Dracula

If you want to read more Stoker: Dracula’s Guest and Other Stories by Bram Stoker

If you want a modern take on Dracula that acknowledges the sexual assault subtext: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix (note: this one is very hit or miss, people either love it or hate it)

If you want academics fighting ancient evil and an actual implied cameo by Dracula: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H.P. Lovecraft (my personal favorite Lovecraft!)

If you want morally ambiguous mad scientists: The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories by Robert Louis Stevenson (and read the rest of the stories in it while you’re at it!)

Dead Ringer...shortly to be shorted to just "Dead". I do not think you realize what this implies you have DONE. Dead 3rd string supervillains is one thing. Most of them thugs, mercenaries, meatheads of one stripe or another. But to have that form...implies that you dug up Nighthawk's body, defiled Kyle Richmond's grave, disturbed the eternal resting place of a man who has gained and earned many, many POWERFUL friends. Loyal friends. The scary kind. If a single. One. of the Defenders finds out who you are, and what you've done? Trust me sir when I say Captain America will be your better option. Captain America 339

Thank you for the tags @carlos-tk @thisbuildinghasfeelings @inflarescent @lemonlyman-dotcom @alrightbuckaroo @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut @strandnreyes @sanjuwrites @heartstringsduet @whatsintheboxmh @herefortarlos 🩷

Something from Flashback Fic (which I'll start posting on Sunday!) It's 2021, the day TK and Carlos break up. Carlos is drawn back to the honky-tonk...

Smiling politely but tearfully at the barman, Carlos orders a tequila slammer.

The barman blinks. “Excuse me?”

“One tequila slammer, please,” Carlos repeats, “Actually make that two!” He’s only ever had a tequila slammer during Austin Pride, at a pop-up bar with rainbow awning called Mermen on the Rocks. The silver tequila was mixed with red food dye to become pink.

The barman raises an eyebrow. He’s an older guy – a gray-bearded biker type in a leather waistcoat. His arms are covered in aged, greening tattoos of snakes curling around daggers, thorny roses growing around crucifixes. “How about one shot for the road, and then you get a taxi home and drink lots of water, son?”

“No, no, no!” Carlos appeals with flare. “I can’t go home. I have to stay right here.” He spirals a finger and then bounces it against the bar. “Right here.”

“Why can’t you go home?”

“I don’t have one. I mean I do. I’m a homeowner.”

“Okay.”

“But I was staying with my…my…” Carlos keeps swirling his finger in the air, like he’s aiming to land on words visible only to him. “But! You know. Sometimes.”

“Ah. Yeah,” The barman smiles. He has a gold tooth. Shiny. “I think I get what you’re saying.”

“Thank you. You’re the only one who does.” He’s also the only person Carlos has talked to since TK fled from him at 2 p.m. this afternoon.

“Women trouble,” the barman says definitively.

“Something like that.”

“We’ve all been there.”

“I haven’t.”

“No?”

“I mean. I have. Literally with a woman.”

“Uh huh.” The barman surreptitiously fills a glass with water and pushes it towards Carlos slowly.

“But this is different. TK’s different.”

“Flowers. Chocolates. A groveling apology. It’s all we’ve got.”

“But I didn’t do anything wrong.”

The barman stifles a laugh. “You almost certainly did.”

“All I did was buy an apartment for us. Without mentioning it. But like…it was meant to be a happy thing. A nice surprise. It was meant to be, like…hey I got you a piece of forever, and this piece of forever has great light, and it’s near clubs and that really good bakery. You know?”

“Sounds like a good forever to me.”

“I thought so.”

“Have a little water, son.”

Carlos seizes his glass of water in both his large hands, like he has the dexterity of a three-year-old. He sips from it gently. “This is good,” he says, as if the barman has given him something new and delicious. “My partner is totally sober. My ex, I mean.” His voice cracks as he cries. “I haven’t been drunk like this in a long time.”

“That does not surprise me.” The barman sighs and hunches, leans his folded arms on the bar to create a little privacy with his shadow. He lets the strange man cry in his presence, as many have done before.

“We had our first dance here. First kiss. First–”

“Son, look at me and listen,” the barman says firmly. Carlos does. He looks into friendly blue eyes surrounded by crinkled skin. “Tomorrow is a new day. You sober up yourself, and then you take that pretty girl the biggest box of chocolates your money can buy, and the biggest motherfucking bunch of roses too. You get down on your knees and tell her you love her with your whole dumbass heart. I’ve got no other advice for you, than to try.”

it is like a graveyard up in here with all these dead dudes

a few of my dead employees, and them without the cognition filter aka my normal style but cheesed up a little

top three (skuggy, dexter, and julian) all died early on (clouded monk, porccubus, amber dawn) but were eventually brought back, dex coming back the latest. skuggy died again during the final days, dex died before that somehow honestly idk. mightve been burrowing heaven. julian survived after many retries and time loops of him dying and panicking daily

louis and DF both died in the final days, it was too chaotic to track everyones cause of death but im assuming it was Arbiter related lol. in canon they didnt get revived until ruina, and Louis also comes back in the alternate timeline where i restarted my game bc i wuv him

#listen i know the final days are separate days for a reason but #i rhought maybe itd be kinda cool if they were all in the same day or at least the same two days #all the chaos in one day and the calm before the storm in the second where the corp dies #so these guys died trying to escape or defend their friends in the chaos and the lucky few that got out will remember their sacrifice >:) #digital #I have a whole note in my notes app where i made a graveyard of everyone who died during day 49 before I gave up and cheated through it haha #there r 11 names on it before i stopped keeping track bc it was too many so . theyre the only ones now #bongbong (with the ponytail) is on there and i. crys. she gets brought back in ruina but.

[suekreandtheidiots]

Wee introduction post!

SO. Let's go.

I'm starting this blog with a little overview of the OCs who are most present in my head these days. I (more or less) recently drew a shiny line up that I still like, after all, so why not use it?

I tried to get their heights somewhat right, give or take a few inches... I'll put their heights into the descriptions, too, though, for anyone (like me) who cares about these details. :)

Avery Constance St. James (*April 1st 1995 in New York City, USA; 5'2 ft / 1,57 m): a small but fierce pharmacist who lost her heart to an irresistably lively Irishman in 2022 (who refused to give it back), and who now juggles being a loving mama and thriving in her usual chaos.

Daryl Louis McKenna (*February 6th 1993 in Galway, Ireland; 5'9 ft / 1,75 m): rockstar scientist (biochemistry) and former drug abusing idiot who recently got engaged to Avery - a special lady he just happened to find when he wasn't looking, and who unexpectedly found his greatest joy in fatherhood.

Dexter Linus St. James (*August 11th 2023, in New York City, USA): a tiny Irish-American hybrid - the son of Daryl and Avery. Named after Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory and Linus Pauling.

Orla Deirdre O'Connell (*October 28th 1992 in Galway, Ireland; 5'9 ft / 1,75 m): an eccentric tattoo artist who appreciates the most beautiful things in life and who believes in love and classic romance like no other. Grew up with three brothers - Malachy (*1980-2006), Kieran (*1985) and her twin Declan, and thus handles life like a lady, but never without the appropriate dash of assertiveness.

Michael Theodore "Mick" O'Loughlin (*December 22nd 1992 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 6'5 ft / 1,96 m): a tall and elvenlike fella who stems from an ancient bloodline of highly fascinating individuals and who may have a supernatural streak to him. Motor mechanic in everyday life and a curious and whimsical guy overall, with soulful green eyes that effortlessly see behind the things others would not even dare to question.

Alistair Lachlan "Ali/Al" Abbott (*May 28th 1993 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 6'4 ft / 1,93 m): an eccentric weirdo, very charming and always a little clueless, with a heart of gold. A former rising football star who had to give up that particular dream to an unfortunate injury, and a surprise teenage dad who loves his friends and longs to meet the love of his life; who waits tables in a restaurant by day and woos ladies - who are willing to pay for his services - by night.

Lancelot Malcolm "Lance" Abbott (*July 27th 1988 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 5'4 ft / 1,63 m): a true force of nature, a capable internist, strong-willed and assertive (some would say stubborn) confident and outspoken, sometimes on the brink of being plain rude. An intelligent and complex person who may be a pain in the arse at times, but who knows what is right and important in life... such as suppressing some long lasting issues, ah, haha, oh well.

Maisie Rose Boyd (*June 11th 2011 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 5'0 ft / 1,52 m): the surprise love child of teenage parents Ali Abbott and Nessa Boyd, who is growing into a sweet and caring young lady these days.

Vanessa Christine "Nessa/Ness" Boyd (*January 14th 1993 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 5'2 ft / 1,57 m): a young and smart psychology graduate who is eager to finally start her career that she had to postpone due to becoming a mother at only eighteen. Gentle and kind, but also very straightforward, never taking crap from anyone and showing bluntness in just the right moments.

Caroline Miriam "Carrie" Anderson (*August 2nd 1987 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 5'4 ft / 1,63 m): a somewhat restless soul, always looking for something while never quite knowing what that something is. One hell of a doctor. Caring, not making any differences between people,and eager to look behind a facade... and entertaining the thought of running her own practice soon!

Dallas Ariston Gray (*October 22nd 1987 in Glasgow, Scotland; 6'4 ft / 1,93 m): a half-Greek, hunkalicious metal lord with a voice from both heaven and hell, a primary school teacher, musician and not quite your average nice guy from next door - the unhingedness may be subtle, but it's so, so there.

Fiona Annabel "Fi" Christie (*March 4th 1994 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 6'0 ft / 1,82 m): a truly delightful creature with many talents, drawing people in with her... everything. A hairdresser and make up artist, a dancer (classic ballet, jazz, as well as adult entertainment) and a gentle soul. Her optimism may make her look naive at times, but

Jean Melissa "Melissa" Carter (*June 1st 1985 in Calgary, Canada; 6'3 ft / 1,90 m): a creative director at a local ad agency... who clicks on suspicious links in spam mails and who forgets to check whether she has enough gas before she drives distances… and strands in the middle of nowhere. May seem scatterbrained but is incredibly loveable and the apple of the eye of her wife, Donna.

Donna Yvaine Christie (*January 3rd 1985 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 5'9 ft / 1,74 m): older and slightly (read as: not so slightly) overbearing sister of Fiona. Has her heart at the right spot but is also used to success and getting what she wants, which makes her a little insensitive and even tactless at times; still often fails to understand that "not doing things her way" isn’t necessarily the same as "doing things the wrong way".

Graeme "Sully" Sullivan (*September 7th 1986 in Perth, Scotland; 5'11 ft /1,80 m): an incredibly creative person all around who has known his goal pretty early in life - making the world a brighter, more colourful place! Owner of a tattoo studio in town - "The Den Of Tallulah Banks" - which isn’t just a tattoo studio, but also a place where creatives can get together and local artists from town can exhibit their works without paying annoying fees.

Hallie Henderson (*April 2nd 1988 in Aberdeen, Scotland; 5'7 ft / 1,70 m): a music journalist, writing for the popular UK/Ireland based magazine "Grot Spot". Interested in pretty much anything, believes in people. Very gentle and caring... and just a little bit weird. Loves life but doesn't close her eyes to the crappy aspects of it. A realistic optimist who is far from naive but maybe a bit too forgiving sometimes.

Jett Jones (*January 15th 1984, in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England; 6'2 ft / 1,87 m): Hallie's friend and fellow Grot Spot writer. A Geordie beauty who never met her real parents but couldn't care less, as the lovely Joneses raised her well. Outspoken and blunt, appears to be afraid of nothing. Never refills the office coffee pot and would most likely survive a zombie apocalypse. Treasures her heart and shares her real name with hardly anybody.

---

And, as a bonus...

“I think I’d like to try—” Louis still can’t say it, not when he’s so close to Lestat. He shuffles backwards instead, holding his marker’s gaze as he sinks to his knees and places one hand on his thigh. Oh. Lestat cocks his head to the side, already reeling from just that simple touch. Louis moistens his lips, soft pink tongue darting out over the somehow impossibly softer, pinker lips. And then, gentleman that he is, Louis reaches for the button at the front of Lestat’s trousers, delicate fingers working on the fastening with preternatural dexterity and an air of polite courtesy that never fails to send Lestat into a state of awe. OH.
