Lucille Cromwell's Origin Lore's story

Since Luce's story lives in my head like a stylistic video game (Suda51 games), had a dream of how things go down, cause over all her story is one of grief when secrets come to light and being alone, ultimately Luce lives and triumphs in saving the world, averting something worse, all these events kind of take coarse over three years, from age twenty seven to age thirty

PART ONE The first two of siblings that Lucille targets are emotionally the hardest for her; she stats with the hope that maybe things aren't bad.

Peter and Vivian were her closest in age, the siblings she played with and were closest to. Vivian was her best friend, her everything and Peter helped her with school. So emotionally, looking into them to see if what she finds out is even real is tough

As she bounces between visiting them and starts to see the secrets, the not so pretty things, and realizes it is real. Realizes that this was a deeper than she thought, and that stopping them won't be simple.

These first two are more stealth based, that are cut between her as Luce simply visiting her siblings and then her cloaked as Red looking deeper. The confrontations don't involve a lot of talking from Red, mostly having to hold herself in and happen without the rest of the Cromwells knowing that Luce is onto the rest of the family or suspicion about whose under the red cloak.

After Vivian's confrontation and death, there's a whole funeral that's really tough on Luce because she did this. She didn't want to and then she knows that the rest of them are next.

Peter's death, no suspicion is on Luce as far as Luce knows, and it's equally tough. These two siblings die without the awareness of who got to them. Red is simply some random person. That's kind of tough on Luce and she's done it now. Blood on both hands.

This got so long so under the read more.

PART TWO The next part kind of when in like the "video game" things are mostly the same, but a twist is about to be introduced. The next targets are the girl twins, Judit and Sloan, that Lucille figures out to go after.

The main concerns she has is their husbands being involved along with wounding if due to the fact they are twins, even if they have been separate a long time that they may have some kind of special knowledge or connection of the other.

So Lucille has to be swift and certain, can't do one at a time, has to have her evidence and certainty and plan the confrontations to not be too long after, because she's sure the family at least knows that a red cloaked individual has been visiting.

Sloan is who she goes after first, between the two twins, Sloan was always the tougher one; so she figures strongest twin first, because she'd had to meet a Sloan prepared over a Judit prepared.

The confrontation with Sloan is where things start to really change. Luce knows that this is it, they will know they are targeted. Twos random. Three? When she faces Sloan down, during the struggle Sloan sees under the hood / finds out that this is baby sister Lucille and its shock and horror.

It absolutely traumatizes Luce whose apologizing, whose holding her sister as her life fades and then that was it. Things are different. Sloan knows who her killer is. Which is the comfort that Luce tries to find in that.

Going after Judit, Luce is expecting it to be harder, expecting that twin powers are real, and possibly even reveal herself. That is not what she finds and when there's a tonal shift in the narrative.

Judit's been gotten to already. I can see the "cutscene" just tension and horror, to find her sister laid out as a message for her. "I know who you are. I know why you are coming for us. See you soon, Red, don't worry your secret is safe with me."

It's terrifying, because US signifies it is someone in the family, only one of them and they know who is Red, they know its Lucille and to... kill Judit for her. It's terrifying.

Luce figures out that it's either Dimitri, Avalon, or her mother that would have done this as they terrify her the most. They've always been so sharp, so smart, people savvy and leaders of the family.

She's down to the last five of her family now and it's tough either way; she's in too deep and the message using Judit, there's no going back, there's a certainty if she doesn't finish than her family will go after her.

Luce bites the bullet that she has to take on the twins, Xander and Dimitri, two at once, because they are always together. They were the reason why she assumed that Judit and Sloan might have twin powers, because those two definitely have twin powers.

They do, and it's a tough fight. They don't know that it's Luce, they only know hee as the one who got all of the rest and blame her for Judit as well. So that rules out Dimitri, like he could have kept something from Xander anyways. Luce is triumphant and that only leaves Avalon and her parents.

PART THREE The last sibling is Avalon. She's the smartest, most calculated and you can bet that she's the one who got Judit. That's what Luce will figure out and so when she starts digging into Avalon, preparing for a confrontation. Avalon sends her an invitation, gives her the whole spiel.

Avalon confesses to the setting up Judit for a message, calls Luce both a coward for hiding behind a cloak, as Avalon has no issues letting her victims know her face, while equally calling her bold because she didn't think her mousey little clone could be capable of going as far as she had.

Which there's your endgame twist that feels like it changes things, but really only solidifies the protagonist. Luce is a copy of Avalon, they don't look identical but Luce's abilities? Same as Avalon's which would make this one of the toughest "boss fights" given the matching talents/capabilities

To add on top of that, Avalon's the doctor, the scientist. She had vials of their siblings blood and strands of DNA, which she uses to give herself a boost of their siblings abilities.

Avalon will kind of reveal all, from how she and their mother are kind of the masterminds, along with Lucille knowing being a fluke; that the messenger Luce had killed that kind of activated Luce's innate abilities (or more Avalon's abilities) had screwed up and went to Luce.

Once Avalon is dealt with, Luce goes to her father who apologizes for all of this and takes himself out, since he doesn't want endure the wrath of her mother nor for Luce to have to finish the job

PART FOUR With all her siblings gone and her father, it's only days before Lucille's thirtieth birthday and she gets an invitation to meet her mother at her London home, knowing there will be a fight. Her mother tries to subdue her, given how close she is the prophecized day but Lucille manages to fend off her minions.

Her mother further extends the whole plan, of where she and Luce's father had come from, along with every detail about her siblings, how Avalon was the perfect daughter and her experiments went well, and you know endgame lore dump goes.

Luce is in rough shape, has been for the past three years, but these last few months have been the hardest. She fights with her mother, and ultimately kills her.

Thus averting the world ending crisis from ever happening, just shy of her thirtieth birthday.

Now with her whole family gone, by her own hands, save for Judit and her father's, and now having turned thirty with no one out to get her. No one as far as she knows, knowing she's a key to world destruction..

She walks off into the night, feeling hollow and with questions of what now. She's stopped evil, there may be more, does she become a vigilante and look for more evil, knowing the truth about the universe and what's out there? Does she just fade off into nothing, try to go back to her old life? Confess her crimes? She doesn't have an answer, and that's kind of where it all ends.

Ann Harding and William Powell in Double Harness (John Cromwell, 1933) Cast: Ann Harding, William Powell, Lucile Browne, Henry Stephenson, Lilian Bond, George Meeker, Reginald Owen, Kay Hammond, Leigh Allen, Hugh Huntley, Wallis Clark, Fred Santley. Screenplay: Jane Murfin, based on a play by Edward Poor Montgomery. Cinematography: J. Roy Hunt. Art direction: Charles M. Kirk, Van Nest Polglase. Film editing: George Nichols Jr. Double Harness is a rather brittle comedy of manners that might be better known if it hadn't vanished for years, owing to a dispute between producer Merian C. Cooper and RKO. Because it was withheld from release until Turner Classic Movies obtained the rights to it in 2007, we had one less opportunity to see Ann Harding, once expected to become a major Hollywood star on the strength of her looks and her stage-trained voice, the latter a great asset in the early years of talking pictures. Harding gives a good performance in Double Harness, but she lacked the vivid personality of actresses of the period who became bigger stars, like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Barbara Stanwyck, so her career never quite took off. She plays Joan Colby, member of a well-to-do family that finds itself on the skids in the depression, so that she and her giddy sister, Valerie (Lucile Browne), need to marry well in order to regain status. Valerie does marry, but her spendthrift ways keep her on the hunt for money to pay the debts she hides from her husband. Joan is taken with John Fletcher (William Powell), heir to a successful shipping company but more interested in playing polo than in running the business -- or in getting married. Joan overcomes the latter obstacle by a trick: She arranges for her father (Henry Stephenson) to discover her in Fletcher's apartment, which she has more or less moved into, one night. Fletcher does the right thing and marries her, unaware that he's been tricked, but he and Joan also come to an agreement that they will divorce after a suitable period of time elapses. Naturally, they begin to fall more deeply in love, as Fletcher begins to realize that Joan has not only made life more pleasant for him, she has also begun to take a hand in his shipping business. But then Valerie spills the beans about how Joan had tricked Fletcher into marrying her, and an old flame of his, Monica Page (Lilian Bond), takes advantage of his anger and tries to snare him for herself. And so on to the anticipated outcome. Double Harness is a little too arch and stagey for its own good, and the idea that a man might have to marry a young woman because she's found in his apartment at night was a little old-fashioned even at the time, but Harding and Powell do what they can with the material.

LUCY & HENRY FONDA ~ Part One

1935-1968 

Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda were more than just co-workers. When Lucy first got to Hollywood, the two actually briefly dated. Lucy remembers,

"We worked long and hard, Ginger [Rogers] and I, in front of our mirrors. We used eye shadow, plenty of mascara, pancake [make-up], deep red lipstick, rouge, everything we'd been taught in the studio cosmetic department. Then we went out to Brentwood, that's where the boys lived. My date was Fonda. Ginger's date was [Jimmy] Stewart. Henry cooked the dinner, and after we ate, Ginger and the boys turned on the radio in the living room and Ginger tried to teach them ‘The Carioca.’ I was left doing the dishes. When I finished, we went out dancing at the Coconut Grove. Freddie Martin's orchestra. There we were, Ginger and I in our long organdy dresses, looking just as summery and smooth as we could. The date stretched into daybreak. We'd had a hilarious, wonderful evening that came to an end at Barney's Beanery. Well, it was dark and we went in and light when we came out. Hank and Jim took one look at us and said, 'What happened?' We said, 'What do you mean what happened?' And Jimmy Stewart said, 'Well, your nighttime makeup is on awful heavy for this time of the morning.' And Henry Fonda said, 'Yuk!'"

In 1975 Fonda told this story at “The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast” for Lucille Ball. Ginger Rogers was also in attendance. He added that "If I hadn't said, 'Yuk!', if I'd behaved myself, they might have named that studio Henrylu, not Desilu."

Perhaps it is a good thing that Fonda and Ball never married as genealogists point out that they are related - 8th cousins. The pair acted in three feature films together and made numerous television appearances opposite one-another. Curiously, although he was sometimes mentioned, Fonda never guest-starred on a “Lucy” sitcom.  

I Dream Too Much (1935)

Producer: Pandro S. Berman Director: John Cromwell Choreographer: Hermes Pan Screenplay: Elsie Finn (story), David G. Wittels (story), Edmund North Songs: Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields 

Cast: Lily Pons (Annette Monard Street), Henry Fonda (Jonathan Street), Eric Blore (Roger Briggs), Osgood Perkins (Paul Darcy), Lucien Littlefield (Hubert Dilley), Lucille Ball (Gwendolyn Dilley)

Synopsis: Annette Monard Street (Lily Pons) is an aspiring singer, who falls in love with and marries Jonathan Street (Henry Fonda), a struggling young composer. Jonathan pushes her into a singing career, and she soon becomes a star. Meanwhile, Jonathan is unable to sell his music, and he finds himself jealous of his wife's success. Concerned about their relationship, Annette uses her influence to get Jonathan's work turned into a musical comedy. Once she achieves this, she then retires from public life in order to raise a family.

"Lucille replaced Betty Grable, an eighteen-year-old stock player... in the minor role of Gwendolyn Dilley, a bleached-blonde gum-chewer visiting Paris with her parents and little brother.” ~ Kathleen Brady, Lucille

Gwendolyn Dilley (Lucille Ball): "Culture is making my feet hurt."

TRIVIA

At this point in her career, Lucy was a platinum blonde. She had dyed it from her natural mousy brown to get more attention from casting agents and producers. She did not begin coloring her hair its trademark red until the technicolor film Du Barry Was A Lady in 1943.

A brief clip of Lucy in the film is included in “Hollywood the Golden Years: The RKO Story: A Woman's Lot” (1987).  

The Big Street (1942)

Producer: Damon Runyon Director: Irving Reis Screenplay: Leonard Spigelgass, based on the short story “Little Pinks” by Damon Runyon

Cast: Henry Fonda (Little Pinks), Lucille Ball (Gloria Lyons), Barton MacLane (Case Ables), Eugene Pallette (Nicely Nicely Johnson), Agnes Moorehead (Violette Shumberg), Sam Levene (Horsethief), Ray Collins (Professor B)

Uncredited actor Hans Conried played a waiter. On “I Love Lucy” he played Harry Martin in “Redecorating” (S2;E8) and Percy Livermore in “Lucy Hires an English Tutor” (S2;E13), both in 1952. He also did two episodes of “The Lucy Show,” both as her music tutor Dr. Gitterman in 1963.  

'Queen of the Extras' Bess Flowers made numerous uncredited background appearances on both “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show.”  

Uncredited actor Gil Perkins (Mug) later turned up on a 1970 episode of “Here's Lucy” (S2;E21).  

TRIVIA

During filming, Lucy's new husband Desi Arnaz felt so insecure about leaving Lucy and Fonda alone together that he’d often pop by the set to keep an eye on them. His paranoia so exasperated director Irving Reis that he finally banned him from the set.

This was Lucille Ball's favorite of her nearly 80 films. She felt her performance was unjustly ignored by the Academy.

Damon Runyon also created the source material for the hit Broadway musical Guys and Dolls (1950), which starred Robert Alda, who went on to make several appearances on “The Lucy Show.” The two stories share the character of Nicely Nicely Johnson. When the film version was made by MGM in 1955, Lucy and Desi were also under contract to the studio. A brief clip of the film was inserted into the middle of an episode of “I Love Lucy” called “Lucy and the Dummy” (S5;E3), although the clip was removed after its initial airing. Further, when Lucille Ball first came to Hollywood, before becoming a contract player at RKO, she worked for Sam Goldwyn as one of the Goldwyn Girls. In Guys and Dolls, the Hot Box Girls are played by the Goldwyn Girls.

Gloria Lyons (Lucille Ball): “Love is something that gets you one room, two chins, and three kids.”

A brief clip from the film is seen in “Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie.”

“The Good Years” (January 12, 1962)

Produced by: Leland Heyward Directed by: Franklin L. Schaffner

Cast: Lucille Ball, Henry Fonda, Mort Sahl, Margaret Hamilton (Narrator)

Characters included Teddy Roosevelt, Sandow the Bodybuilder, the Wright Brothers, J.P. Morgan, Lizzy Borden   

TRIVIA

This CBS special was billed as 'Lucille Ball's return to television' after leaving Lucy Ricardo behind in April 1960. It would be several more months before the debut of “The Lucy Show” in Fall 1962.   

Based on a best-selling book by Walter Lord first published in 1960 about the years leading up to World War One, the special was a hodge-podge of sketches and musical numbers about the time period 1900 through 1920.

Mort Sahl: “Lucille Ball came into rehearsal. She had a later call and a lot of doubts about the script.”

The 90-minute special was a critical failure and has largely been forgotten. There are few photographs and video copies are held at the Museum of Broadcasting. 

“All About People” (1967)

Director: Saul Rubin

Narrators: Lucille Ball, Henry Fonda, Jack Benny, George Burns, Carol Channing, Eydie Gorme, Charleton Heston, Eartha Kitt, Burt Lancaster, Edward G. Robinson

TRIVIA

This was a 30-minute black and white documentary made by the United Jewish Welfare Fund about its history. 

After marrying Gary Morton (nee Morton Goldapper), Lucille Ball was active in Jewish charities. On December 9, 1961, Lucy had appeared on the “Twelve Star Salute to the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies.” 

Burns, Benny, and Gorme, all later made appearances on “Here's Lucy.” Edward G. Robinson did a cameo on “The Lucy Show.”  

Although Ball and Fonda are both involved in the project, they likely recorded their narration separately. 

Yours, Mine and Ours  (1968)

Producer: Robert F. Blumofe Director: Melville Shavelson Screenplay: Melville Shavelson and Mort Lachman, with story by Bob Carroll Jr. and Madelyn Davis (Lucy’s TV writers), based on the book Who Gets The Drumsticks? by Helen Eileen Beardsley

Cast: Lucille Ball (Helen North Beardsley), Henry Fonda (Frank Beardsley), Van Johnson (Darrel Harrison)

Nancy Howard (Nancy Beardsley) made three appearances on “Here's Lucy.” Tim Matheson (Mike Beardsley) made an appearance on a 1972 “Here's Lucy” playing Kim Carter’s boyfriend. 

Uncredited extras Leon Alton, Paul Bradley, Charles Cirillo, George Boyce, Paul King, Joseph LaCava, and Leoda Richards all made numerous background appearances on “The Lucy Show” and “Here's Lucy.”

Synopsis: A widower with ten children falls for a widow with eight, and they must decide about forming a huge, unconventional family.

TRIVIA

Jane Fonda claimed that her father was deeply in love with Lucy and that the two were "very close" during the filming of Yours, Mine and Ours but that Lucy wasn't in love with him.

After purchasing the rights to the book the film was based on, Lucille Ball became very close to the real Beardsleys and even treated the whole family to a vacation at Disneyland. 

In 1959, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, still affiliated with MGM, were going to star as Frank and Helen Beardsley but the studio had trouble with the casting until the late 1960s. In addition, their marriage was then on the rocks, a situation which would have made working together on the optimistic comedy somewhat problematic.

Lucy's old friend John Wayne was initially considered to play Frank Beardsley. The role was cast with Fred MacMurray, but he was replaced by Henry Fonda.  

Frank (Henry Fonda): “I don't quite understand. Am I being stupid?” Helen (Lucille Ball): “No, you're being a man. Which is sometimes the same thing.”

Lucille Ball co-produced the film under her company, Desilu Productions. When the film became a surprise smash hit grossing over $17 million on a $2.5 million investment, she hadn't anticipated the film's huge box-office success and failed to provide a tax shelter for her personal profits, resulting in most of her earnings going toward taxes.

The success of the film led to Lucy being considered to play Mrs. Brady in “The Brady Bunch,” a TV sitcom with a similar story of a blended family. Lucy decided to do her own sitcom, “Here's Lucy,” instead.

In 1968, Van Johnson guest starred on “Here's Lucy” as both himself and an impostor look-alike in “Guess Who Owes Lucy $23.50” (HL S1;E11). The dialogue contained references to Yours, Mine and Ours and their co-star Henry Fonda.

Van Johnson Impostor: “I loved working with that kooky redhead.” Lucy Carter: “Personally, I thought she was much too young for Henry Fonda.”

Johnson was in the cast of Too Many Girls, the film which introduced Lucy to Desi in 1940. Johnson also guest-starred on “I Love Lucy” in “The Dancing Star” (S4;E27) in 1955.

Refugees are in the news these days, and their stories have suddenly come to New York stages. “I think it is important to ask an audience to recognize lives that we have literally fenced off, that as Americans we are complicit in forgetting,” says Sylvia Khoury, the author of “Power Strip” at Lincoln Center, one of the four playwrights I talk to in my article for TDF Stages on refugee plays.

“Power Strip,” which is set in a refuge camp in Greece modeled after the notorious Moria camp, is one of plays that are currently on stage or about to be, with three more slated for spring, including a return of The Jungle  at St. Ann’s Warehouse.

And then there is The Flores Exhibits, a series of online videos in which theater artists and activists read the testimonies of children being held in detention facilities at the border.

“The words refugee, immigrants, and asylum seekers are often confused,” Arian Moayed clarified for me. Moayed is the Tony-nominated actor and co-founder of Waterwell, the theater company behind The Flores Exhibits, and also The Courtroom,  a reenactment of a deportation case that will be performed monthly. ” Honestly, that might be one of the big issues we are facing as a nation: We aren’t very well-versed on why people are coming to the United States. According to Rescue.org, “a refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her home because of war, violence or persecution, often without warning.” An immigrant is defined differently, as someone who “makes a conscious decision to leave his or her home and move to a foreign country with the intention of settling there,” according to Amnesty International. And an asylum seeker is “someone whose request for sanctuary has yet to be processed,” according to UN Refugee Agency.” There are some 68 million refugees and asylum-seekers worldwide, according to the International Rescue Committee.

The Week in New York Theater Previews and Reviews

Seared, which is opening October 28 at MCC Theater, was inspired by playwright Theresa Rebeck’s favorite restaurant in Park Slope, which, though prized and popular, was unable to make a go of it. The four-character play revolves around Harry, portrayed by Raúl Esparza, a talented but mercurial chef who sees what he does as art. He bickers frequently with his business partner Mike (Dave Mason), and he’s furious when Mike hires a restaurant consultant, portrayed by Krysta Rodriguez.

I talked to Krysta Rodriguez, who can relate to Emily, although she’s never worked in a restaurant: “She is close to me in a lot of ways. She’s a bright woman who is very ambitious, who sort of knew what she wanted to do early on and took it by the horns.”

Forbidden Broadway The Next Generation

Three years after he spoofed “Hamilton” in “Spamilton” (with “I am not throwing away my shot” becoming “I am not gonna let Broadway rot,”) Gerard Alessandrini paints Lin-Manuel Miranda less heroically in “Forbidden Broadway: The Next Generation,”  the 26th edition of the hit-or-miss, but must-see, satirical revue….If “Forbidden Broadway” is uneven, so is Broadway. Indeed, as in past editions, the Next Generation at the Triad offers something of a snapshot of the current state of The Great White Way — where, as Manny Houston sings in the opening number, “the white is gray and the great is only okay.”

The Lightning Thief

I think if I were eight years old I might have loved “The Lightning Thief” on Broadway, but that’s mostly because I would then have been too young to have seen it at the Lucille Lortel Theatre five years ago. Downtown, this musical about Percy Jackson, a modern American adolescent who also happens to be a demigod from Greek mythology, was just an hour long, charming in a do-it-yourself low-budget way….and with free admission!

At Broadway’s Longacre Theater, “The Lightning Thief” is two hours long, not as charming…and very much not free. Bringing the musical to Broadway hasn’t made “The Lightning Thief”  a better show — it’s ballooned beyond its fighting weight…

Scotland, PA

There is one spectacularly funny moment in this musical comedy version of “Macbeth,” which is based on Billy Morrissette’s 2001 movie, and is set in a fast-food restaurant in the “podunk town” of Scotland, Pennsylvania in 1975….Despite a cast and creative team full of New York theater pros, everything else about “Scotland, PA”, is, at best, just ok.

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf

Forty-one years after Broadway said goodbye after 742 thrilling performances to its first (and last) choreopoem, and a year after its author and original performer died at the age of 70, seven women are bringing the colors of the rainbow back to a stage of the Public Theater through dance and song and nursery rhymes, through collective storytelling and individual tales ugly or sweet about the lives of women of color, delivered in verse.

Ntozake Shange’s groundbreaking work of theater signals something unique from its very title: “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf.”  If the poetic language may sometimes be too dense and quick for full comprehension, the rhythm always gets you through. The production is offered like a gift by an all-female cast and crew.

Is This A Room?

“Is This A Room” stages the verbatim transcript of the FBI interrogation of a 25-year-old former Air Force linguist with the improbable name of Reality Winner, who was eventually sentenced to more than five years in prison for leaking to the press an intelligence report about Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections….In light of recent events involving whistleblowers, Winner’s case seems all the more stupefying.

Soft Power

David Henry Hwang was attacked by an unknown assailant with a knife and nearly died. That experience, along with the playwright’s shock at the results of the 2016 Presidential election and his oft-expressed ambivalence towards the patronizing but gorgeous Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I,” all make their way into “Soft Power,” an unusual musical by Hwang and composer Jeanine Tesori that inventively and oddly presents the themes of East-West divide that Hwang has long explored in such works as “M Butterfly” and “Chinglish.”

The Rose Tattoo

here are many cues to what’s wrong with this overly broad third Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’ dated play, starring Marisa Tomei as Serafina Delle Rose, a Sicilian immigrant seamstress who turns from besotted wife to grieving widow to betrayed widow (because her husband had a mistress) to hopeful new lover…a dance of romance between two that is meant to be funny and charming and heartwarming but presents these Italian-Americans as something less than the fully human characters for which Williams is justly lauded…

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Oscar, a fat freshman in thick bifocals meeting his college roommate for the first time, greets him with what sounds like an insult…which is actually a nerdy pun, and then speaks in Elvish, a language from Lord of the Rings…This quirky exchange right at the beginning of “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” is an illustration of the particular challenges and rewards in this stage adaptation at Repertorio Espanol of Junot Diaz’s 2007 novel, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. There’s much to delight in the vivid characters in the story, and in the several cultures they reflect — Dominican culture, immigrant culture, Comic-con culture – but for the uninitiated it requires extra attention.

What Does The Year of the Pig Bring?

What is Lunar New Year?

Commonly known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, the Lunar New Year is the most important date in the calendar for many Asian countries, including China, Korea, and Vietnam. The holiday, as its name suggests, is based around the lunar calendar, and so falls on a different date each year, usually between 20th January and 21st February. This year, New Year’s Eve was Monday 4th February. The official holiday is celebrated with many different festivals and traditions over the course of 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival on the 15th night.  

During these celebrations, people all over Asia travel back to their hometowns and pay visits to their relatives, and pay their respects to their ancestors. Families enjoy huge feasts, and children and single adults are presented with hong bao, or red packets, filled with money. Red and gold are colours of luck and prosperity, and so homes are decorated in these colours throughout the celebrations.

The Chinese Zodiac

Similar to the Western Zodiac, the Chinese Zodiac is made up 12 different signs. The twelve signs of the Chinese Zodiac are all animals; the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

Though there are 12 animals, one for each year, the Chinese Zodiac actually moves in a sixty-year cycle. As well as the animals, there are also twelve Earthly Branches, and ten Celestial Stems, which pair with the Earthly Branches. Each Zodiac sign also has an element; fire, water, metal, earth, and wood. All of these different combinations form a cycle of sixty years.

There are many different stories and accounts about how the order of the animals came about. However, the most popular one is the story of The Great Race. It is said that the Jade Emperor, the ‘ruler of the heavens’ was looking for a way to measure time. He decided to hold a race, and proclaimed that the first twelve animals to cross the river and make it over the finish line would earn a spot on the Zodiac calendar, in the order that they arrived.

The ox was believed to be the winner, until the sly rat, who had been secretly riding on his back, jumped onto the bank and raced ahead to win the first spot. The ox came second, followed by the tiger, rabbit, and so on. The lazy pig was said to stop many times to eat and sleep, and so he was the last to arrive. The pig is the 12th and last animal in the Zodiac calendar.

The Year of the Pig

2019 is the Year of the Pig. Again similar to Western Astrology, the Chinese believe that the year you were born can provide a lot of information about your personality and the kinds of situations you will come across in your life, and how you will likely handle them.

You may think that if it is ‘your year’, that it is good luck. However, it’s actually the opposite. Your year is seen as a challenge that you need to face and overcome. To help you avoid bad fortune, it’s a tradition to wear red underwear all year, as this is a colour of luck and good fortune.

Previous years of the Pig in recent history include 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, and 2007. The next year of the Pig will be 2031.

Pig Personalities

It may seem obvious, but the Pig isn’t considered the most intelligent of animals in China, or anywhere else in the world. The pig’s main priorities are sleeping and eating, and they are seen as lazy. However, their size is often seen as a positive thing; their chubbiness is a sign of wealth and prosperity.

Those born in the year of the Pig will likely share a lot of personality traits with their zodiac animal. Though often considered lazy, Pigs are very focused and diligent. They are extremely generous and will always be there to help out those in need. They are very logical and pragmatic thinkers, and can easily get themselves out of a bind.

Year of the Pig Statistics

Strengths: Kind, warm-hearted, generous, logical, loyal, gentle

Weaknesses: Naive, lazy, gullible, quick-tempered

Lucky Numbers: 2, 5, 8

Unlucky Numbers: 1, 3, 9

Lucky Colours: gold, yellow, brown, grey

Unlucky Colors: red, green, blue

Famous Pigs

There are a number of famous people born in the year of the Pig, including Henry VIII; Oliver Cromwell; Ernest Hemingway; Julie Andrews; Lucille Ball; Ronald Reagan; Amy Winehouse and Carrie Underwood.

Pig Love Compatibility

Most compatible with Dogs: Tiger, Rabbit, Sheep

Relationships between Pigs and these three signs are likely to be long and harmonious. They are all very pragmatic and will be able to work together to solve any problems or overcome the challenges they face. They are all very compassionate and will be considerate of each other’s feelings and desires.

Least compatible with Dogs: Monkey and Snake

The Pig couldn’t be any different to the Monkey and the Snake. Though people often say that opposites attract, such big differences often lead to clashes. They will rarely agree on most issues, and this causes arguments discontent. A short, fiery and passionate relationship may result, but it will never lead to a happy longterm arrangement.

What’s in Store for the Year of the Pig?

As the year of your birth is seen to be unlucky, 2019 will be a year of ups and downs for people born in the Year of the Pig. Pigs may face career setbacks in the coming months; though this may be scary at the time, try not to worry too much as towards the end of the year, things should smooth over and work in your favour. In terms of health, it should be a pretty average year. However, it’s important to remember to take care of yourself.

In the love and relationship department, this year will actually be lucky, especially for male pigs; they will have an easy time attracting their desired love interests. Unfortunately, female Pigs may not have the same fortune and must work hard to make relationships work.

SPOTIFY WRAPPED -> Send a "#number" for a specific song or a "🎁" for a random -> @de2thletter -> 48 ! for spotify wrapped meme - friday @ lucille :')) -> 48. Backtrack by Emei (x)

It was only a matter of time that the x-men would find her, word on the street that they had a tendency to find mutants; which had been Lucille's working theory on her sudden powers. She's just glad that they pop up when she's in the reds and blacks of her suit. Mask affixed to her face, and she is curious about her powers, about who she was now beyond someone playing vigilante justice. So inevitably, she'll give and go with the x-man, thank god they came to her when she's out like this and not little paralegal Luce.

❝ Can't pull a punch you already threw! ❞ She chirps, almost quite literally using the tone of voice of Newark's weather lady. Hit her once, well that's a lesson. Now it's her turn to throw the punch back, copying the style with ease. ❝ Back, back track! Better think fast! ❞ is all the warning she gives before showing off her move-matching.

[lastavenged]

It takes all of the three years between 27 and 30 for Luce to finish with this self-given mission to save the world, save herself. This is self preservation.

Luce takes her time with researching, digging into her siblings, to find this prophecy true, to find if this case is just enough, if they are evil. She's always known her family is... ambitious, has stepped on people, but not out to control and hurt the world. She doesn't make a move for months, and there are gaps between going after each sibling.

The first year, 27 to 28, not much happens. Luce knows she has to be precise and careful, and Lucille has always been a researcher, cross her t's and dot the i's. She knew when she made a move, there was no room for mistake or going back. "RED" would disappear for weeks and months at a time, because she needed to keep anonymity and suspicion off, she couldn't be witch hunted.

After Vivian and Peter are taken down, there quite a few weeks and months of time, partly because she's dealing with traumatizing herself and trying to be okay enough that she killed her siblings, and trying not to just outst herself, turn herself in because... it's real, they aren't human, she isn't either, and there's so any bigger, scarier what ifs.

[lastavenged]

For any Marvel or DC verse; Luce/Red is a new vigilante on the streets of San Francisco, but also given the set up for her story, she may be pursuing one of her siblings or parents and can be in any city. and she does try to bring her whole ordeal up to an official hero team with not much luck. She will become a vigilante that kills, but she's got a lot of codes around that. No one that seems to be working under someone else etc etc.

She guards her identity very closely and never uses her real voice when she's in her cloak/vigilante gear and Luce uses any tone or kind of voice, masculine / feminine / androgynous sounding, as well as if she's working with someone or fighting someone she may mimic their voice

[lastavenged]

Introduction as told by Red

❝ My name? Doesn't matter and if you must, just call me Red. Here's the story. I was born the youngest to seven other siblings and two.... unique.... parents. They were alright, you know bought us all up to be ambitious. Dad's a celebrity doctor, you know the type that appears on tv as an expert? Mom's an actress. Shakespare, stage plays, always the biggest prescene in the room. They've been divorced several times. It's always been a turblent affair between them. ❞

❝ My siblings? All wildly success. Some took after Mom, some took after Dad. Big business, this and that. One of my sister's has a fitness cult in Texas; you heard right, but we'll get to that and all the details about the rest of them later. Me, on the other hand? Not so much, much to Mother's disappointment. I have a day job, it pays the bills, fits my set of skills. Not ambitious enough for the family name, but I was an oddball. ❞

❝ Who I am in my day life doesn't matter, and I really don't want my family finding out it is ME whose up to what I am about to be up to. Secret identity and all. You've read about it in comics. ❞

❝ So who is me? Who's Red? Red's not an alias, not some hero name, it's a lack of name. I... wouldn't be doing this if I didn't get dragged into it and I don't know if I'll keep doing this, I.... I see injustice daily, so if I'm any good at this, maybe I'll keep it up. ❞

❝ I have talents, maybe call them powers. Sound mimicry, wind manipulation, really cool trick of knowing when someone's about to hit me, I can copy cat people. It's pretty good, since a natural born fighter I was not, except maybe these talents were always in me waiting to wake up. I wouldn't have the answers, I killed the thing with the answers. ❞

❝ Alright, Red, enough suspense; look I love exposition, my day job is mostly paperwork and research I love it; anyways. So on the eve of my 27th birthday, I was visited by.... I still don't really have a clue, but a little alien demon man-thing; who was looking for my closest sister, Vivian. See Viv and I look a lot alike, we aren't twins, she's a year older and was coming to tell her that our family was only three years shy of the prophecy of world destruction was upon that, that they were this close to becoming gods. ❞

❝ Apparently, my entire family is evil with special talents; used for manipulating the world or people, that's the gist. The prophecy goes something like "On the eve of the eighth child, that's me by the way, take her life and she will become the key to the universe and your family will become gods of the new world. Something like that, except, I'm the eighth child. I'm 27 now. That's three years from my birthday. My sister was suppose to be the messenger of some universe destroying prophecy my family was going to achieve. ❞

❝ The alien-demon man fucked up and when he realized that he just revealed a HUGE family secret to the eight child, the dud child... He attacked, I don't know if he was going to kill me, considering I'm a key or whatever... We got into a struggle, it was going really badly but ... Uh... I managed to kill him, I didn't want to. I was simply trying to get away, protect myself, scream bloody murder for anyone, someone. ❞

❝ His body fell limp on top of me and... he didn't look human, I didn't know what to do, who to call. My day job, I know some of the ins and outs of legal system; I'd probably be fine, I mean it was NOT human but that's also the trouble. Most traumatizing night of my life, but what I figure out later? That's gonna be more traumatizing, spoiler warning, sorry. ❞

❝ After he died... I killed him, holy shit, I killed someone even if it wasn't human, which am I even human? Is my family? I felt different like.... stronger, faster, I... My voice started changing, the air felt like something I could grasp, like I could pull on like reigns. I remembered everything I read, honestly, some of these talents made my day job easier. ❞

❝ Eventually the thing's body just... disappeared. So one problem solved, but the next was figuring out what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck... Does my family know? Does Vivi? Should I say somthing, I definitely shouldn't say anything. They... They wouldn't kill me on my thirth. I could be hallucinating this maybe, did I drink too much... Weeks pass, my talents I start being the little nerd I am and research, test, see the extent and limits. ❞

❝ I start getting ideas... I... you hear about people trying to be a hero, what if me? I mean... if I have these powers, what if it's real. What if I'm doome to die at thirty by the hands of my family so they can dominate all of mankind. So... I start trying things, little things. Comic book things. I need to start making a plan, because I think it's real, all of it, cause the next time I visit my sister Vivian... ❞

❝ She doesn't just run a fitness empire; it's an empire, it's a cult. She gets her high, commanding people, telling what to do with with their body, with how they look. She's a bad person. It's sick. It's disgusting and... I think she'd kill me when I turned thirty. What about the rest? ❞

❝ So I start digging, into my family, carefully. I've... I've already started trying to solve injustice problems on the West Coast, from San Francisco. Vigilante. Hit the news, or trying not to is the goal. The ability to change my voice has been helpful in protecting who I was. I don't want too much noise around me, but I start digging into my family and they are all bad people. I mean, they are rich, but... but they don't see people as people, they only see them as pawns, toys, dolls, tools, underlings. They are hiding things, definitely not US or UK legal things. ❞

❝ I have to stop them, without them knowing its me. Without... I may have to kill them, if... If I can't work out how to stop them, stop this prophecy. I have to assume they have powers too, or something; that they are dangerous and I am going to have to get good at being outnumbered, at fighting, and solving problems... and preparing myself, stopping them before I turn thirty and... worst happens. ❞

Weakness defined

ONE Luce is not capable of duplicating a physical feat if the effort to do so requires superhuman effort. For instance, while she could view an opponent lifting a car, she could not do so because her body can't duplicate the superhuman strength required to do so. In the same way, she cannot duplicate any superpowers she does not have.

TWO If an opponent is too unpredictable, such as Deadpool due to unpredictable nature and fractured mind; she can not copy moves or predict next movements.

THREE Her memory is not absolute or permanent, and over time she will begin to forget and need to relearn things; say she hasn’t has not used a language in two years than she would need to relearn to perfectly/fluently speak the language again, similar with moves.

FOUR Lucille’s mimicking abilities, copying movies, and general mirroring opponents is not perfect; and she actually mirrors and starts to mimic, plus absorb their emotional state as well. This can lead to Luce having aggression and anger issues, where she has gotten too wrapped up in hateful and frustrated emotions and start to go a little further and more extreme than she had originally been intending. It makes her fatal/lethal/brutal in a fight, makes any fight against her the possibility to become too desperate, and it can take her awhile to come down and come back to herself and original emotional state. This weakness is a big one, as she tends to pick up personality traits and violent tendencies because of that and can be difficult to return to herself.

FIVE She is still human and mortal; she still bleeds and gets injured; she does not have a regenerative factor. Which is why a lot of Luce's fighting capability is defensive, reactive, and intent preventing self injury.

SIX Limitations on her air/wind manipulation. She cannot create air or wind where there is none, only from existing sources. Distance, mass, precision, etc, depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of Luce and air manipulation is her weakest of abilities. Air manipulation is ineffective in a vacuum, atmosphere must be present. She does not have the ability to absorb oxygen, so she is disadvantage against fire. Electrons detonating in the variou compound of moleecules within the air can overwhelm her. She cannot change the temperature of the air, the air can be frozen making her manipulation power ineffective. She has manipulation of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen primarily.

POWERS DEFINED

POLYMATH: Advanced intellectual capabilities, where her mind instinctively, automatically, and with little deliberate cognitive thought performs complex mental operation that far beyond the capability of normal human brain.

PERFECT KINESTHESIA: She has the ability to duplicate any physical act, after seeing it done once, by anyone. She can re-perform subtle muscle movement, with flawless accuracy and precision, subsequent to observation, she can perform any physical act without difficulty.

ENHANCED PHYSIOLOGY: Upon her power awakening, Luce gained the ability to duplicate other abilities that she has seen performed by someone else or seen on video. Her brain capacity is expanded to absorb knowledge instantaneously, additionally her brain chemistry was hypercognitive in the area of skill observation and retention, as well as enhanced short-term memory.

PHOTOGRAPHIC REFLEXES: Watching another person’s physical movements, she can duplicate them without any practice or training as long as she has seen it once. She can master complex gymnastics routines and play difficult pieces of music, this can be used to copy combat skills, both armed and unarmed. Reviewing recordings of movements, she can retain duplicated moves indefinitely.

PHYSICAL MOVEMENT PREDICTION: Luce can figure out slight of hand techniques simply by watching them, and can often predict an opponents next move before they make it if she has studied their fighting style enough.

SUPERHUMAN AGILITY, REFLEXES, AND SPEED: Due to her photographic reflexes and perfect kinesthesia, she can push her body past natural limits allowing for her agility to match that Spider-man, as well as have a greater reaction speed than a normal human (she can deflect bullets, catch bullets being shot at her, and even catch weapons thrown at her without looking), she can temporarily move at speeds twice as fast as a normal human. Briefly, Luce can duplicate movements at double speed for a temporary and limited form of superhero speed, but she can only maintain this heighten state for a few minutes before risking overexertion, physical exhaustion, and damage to her body.

SOUND MANIPULATION: Luce has the ability to create, shape, and manipulate sound. She can mimic, intensify, hush, and distort sound. She can freely manipulate her voice, allowing her to control her voice to imitate sounds of creatures, such as animal noises and explosions, increase or decrease the tone of her voice.

AUDIOGRAPHIC MEMORY: She can memorize and reproduce any sound they have heard before, including music, voices or calls of animals. The degree of imitation is sufficiently high to the point where it can fool the real thing. Luce can mimic any sound she hears using one's voice. She has the able to mimic the voices of others or imitate sounds such as animal noises and explosions. Any sound that she hears she can replicate with perfect clarity along with any manner the sound was made.

VOICE PROJECTION: Luce has the power to project one's voice great distances or even into a room without being physically present. She can make their voice come from somewhere else, even great distances or somewhere where the user isn't physically present.

AIR MANIPULATION: Luce can create, shape and manipulate air, the common name given to the layer of atmospheric gases and various compounds (mostly oxygen and nitrogen) surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity, and possibly wind movement of air relative to the surface of the planet. It is an important factor in determining and controlling climate and weather, and the generating force of most ocean and freshwater waves. Wind occurs because of horizontal and vertical differences in atmospheric pressure, and include breezes, squalls, gusts, whirlwinds, zephyrs, gales, tempests, and hurricanes. Since air cannot be seen by conventional methods, neither can the attacks and derivatives formed by/from it, making it an invisible and versatile weapon that is very difficult to block and dodge. Since air is the originator for most natural disasters and all forms of weather, the user has control over nature’s most dangerous element allowing them to perform a wide variety of feats.
