Winx Club Recast- The Specialists

If we’re gonna recast the Winx and the Trix, we gotta recast the boys.

Sky-Jordan Fisher

I. LOVE. THIS.MAN. WITH. MY. WHOLE.HEART! He just OOZES the charm and leadership of the crown prince of Eraklyon. He’s most well known for playing the role of SeaCat in the Teen Beach Movie franchise and being the voice of Sea Hawk in the She Ra reboot. Not only is he an amazing actor, he’s seem like a really chill and down to earth dude perfect for Sky.

Brandon- Kyle Selig

KYLE IS SO UNDERRATED! He was most recently seen as Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls on Broadway. He can really pull of the kind hearted, goofy, and smooth talking attitude of Stella’s fiancée. I feel like Aaron Samuels and Brandon are similar characters, so It would be easier for him. I mean, LOOK AT HIM!!

Helia- Booboo Stewart

THIS MAN!! Booboo Stewart is mostly known as Jay, the son of Jafar in the Descendants franchise. I feel like he can really pull off the soft spoken, thoughtful, and down to earth personality of Helia. Also, HIS HAIR!!!!! HES PERFECT FOR HELIA THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT

Nabu-Corbin Bleu

OMG CORBIN’S THE PERFECT NABU!! Of course, he’s most well known as the character Chad from the High School Musical franchise. He’s done other stage shows such as playing Sky in the 2017 Hollywood Bowl production of Mamma Mia. He can really pull of the friendly, upbeat, and daring personality of Nabu, who, like Nabu, drinks his Respect Women Juice™️

Timmy- Thomas Sanders

YOU CANT TELL ME THIS MAN IS THE PERFECT TIMMY!!! Thomas is mainly know from his YouTube and Vine(RIP) careers. He’s goofy, a cinnamon roll, dorky, and slightly awkward personality of everyone’s favorite tech genius Specialist.

Riven- Avan Jogia

HEAR ME OUT! So, casting Riven was a bit of challenge. I wanted to find an actor that could pull of the stand-offish, competitive, and aggressive personality of everyone’s favorite Angry Boi™️ I also wanted stay true with the races and diversity of the cast, so this was a tough one. I chose Avan Jogia, mostly well known as Beck in Victorious. I can kinda tell both Beck and Riven have some similar character traits. Plus, he’s already worked with Liz Gillies, so their Darcy/Riven chemistry would be ✨immaculate✨

WRITERS BLOCK 20: This week, David and Rylend talk podcasting with Aaron Nabus (Hall H Show) and Tilly and Susan Bridges (Pendant Productions). It’s a podcast where a bunch of podcasters talk about podcasting... and that may very well cause a tear in the space-time continuum. Also, Rylend shares with the group his greatest unfulfilled dream… to get a tattoo of a butt with a butt-shaped tattoo on it… and get it ON his butt.

Winx AU Detailing Part XVIII - Screaming about the guys

title is self-explanatory! all the deets below:

Sky

While he was taught how to act in tense or political situations, he is INCREDIBLY awkward and shy in social or normal circumstances and due to his royal air he can look standoffish and aloof. He’s just very shy, however, and it can take him quite a bit to start a conversation or warm up to people - he’s still surprised at how fast he became friends of Team 3Q and he believes he started more as “”“Sky’s”““ friend than them liking him for himself.

He absolutely sucks at ballroom dancing, no matter how many excellent teachers have taught him. He’s decent at best at other styles, but he’s incredibly uncoordinated outside of battle and steps on his partner’s feet way too much. Riven and Stella have slowly taught him at a different pace however, and he’s starting to very very VERY slowly get better at it.

He’s keeping his hair very long as an act of rebellion, as the tradition in Eraklyon is for only the Queens to have long hair, with the men always having very short hair to mark them as knights and military generals, with part of the crowning ceremony even involving a haircut. He doesn’t want to take part on this at all and has planned ways in which he can delay it or avoid it entirely.

Brandon

He has known Sky since he was 7, as one of his mothers is part of the Knighthood of Eraklyon and, as their highest ranking member, she was appointed to protect him during outings. They became friends vary fast and get along incredibly well, enough for Brandon to want to become his personal squire so he can ensure his safety even more - the switcheroo plot was all him, and while Sky vehemently objected, the King and Queen approved it.

Brandon is the second oldest child of his family, with his brother Aaron (who currently works as a chef for the Castle) being the oldest and with Soraya following in the middle and twins Dorothea and Florencia as his little sisters in that order. He and Soraya help the most around the house, and has honed a sense of responsibility far greater than the rest of his team. As such he ends up acting as the voice of reason most of the time and has to be a mood ruiner when its necessary, even if he hates it sometimes - it’s this sense of responsibility that makes him the actual leader of Team 3Q, not Sky. For ages, Aaron is older than him by 3 years, Soraya is younger by 1, and Dorothea and Florencia are younger by 7.

Because he was trained to always be at Sky’s side and protect him, he has become very perceptive about other people and their intentions, and can tell when someone is feeling down or suspiciously happy very easily. This leads to always be the first person to ask if something is wrong or confront others about how they’re doing, and while generally appreciated, he has a bad habit of barging unnanounced into other people’s problems.

Timmy

Timmy is...not in the best of terms with his parents. They’re so laser-focused on their job that they don’t really pay much attention to him at all, only really leaving him food and supplies and not even getting to see them until the weekends, and they don’t even really interact during the downtime. He still sometimes wonder if they even realized he’s at Red Fountain now, and while he appreciates them keeping him alive and well, he still resents them for their neglect.

His vision, while bad, is arguably the best of his teammates thanks to his glasses, which better his visual range into slightly further than perfect vision. This is the main reason he’s the sniper of his team, as no one else has his field of vision... or his skills, for that matter; he only trusts Brandon to hold his guns since everyone else is very, very clumsy with firearms.

Timmy really only appears shy due to his thin frame and glasses, he just doesn’t really try to interact much outside of the necessary since he doesn’t like going out much. He’s also the one guy to probs make the darkest jokes, which has surprised the rest on the regular. He’s very affectionate when you get very close though, which works in Tecna’s favor since she loves hugs and the like.

Riven

He’s older than the rest of the guys since he was kicked out of his previous team, Team 4T for infighting and aggressivenes - he was currently dating the leader of the team, but it was short-lived, and it was such a nasty breakup that they ended up actively fighting with their own weapons, each almost seriously injuring the other. He was sent to a calmer freshman team as a support leader in the hopes having to somewhat tutor others would help him relax and gain patience.

Riven is one of Stella’s childhood friends from when she went by Camila, and as such is one of the few people left allowed to call her Cami. She requested when they started RF and Alfea to only call her Stella and even pretend they don’t know each other for a long time, due to a recent agreement her parents had done with another royal family and that when the time arrives, she would explain more. This agreement was the whole Sky/Brandon fiasco, and when it came to the light, Riven dissappeared for a bit to get the full story from her.

He is an avid follower of fashion and is knowledgeable about most designers and trends, which tends to throw people off due to his rugged “I don’t give a fuck about anything” appearance. He meets up with Stella from time to time to chat, eat something, and talk shit about the current bad designs of the season, with Musa and Nova occasionally joining them.

Nex

He has been going as Nex ever since he was 10, and has managed to transition without many issues. He’s very happy his family and their troupe were supportive, and is pleased with how his life has gone so far. He mostly goes with a subtle appearance spell, but has gone through medical treatments and surgeries (more speficially, top surgery) as well in the recent years. He told the rest of Team 3Q a week after starting to live together, and they’ve been trying to help him with any kind of thing he needs the best they can, especially with the occasional cramps. (Drops here - I’ve done research on most of these things, and have had help from trans friends as well - but if you feel I got something wrong or if it’s offensive and/or innapropiate, please tell me! I’m still learning about all this and I appreciate all feedback.)

He’s definitely the most cocky of the team and likes to show off his skills and flexibility, which can get annoying fast at first - and that’s his main goal. He likes messing with people via sheer force of exuberance alone, and while he will apologize if it goes too far, for the most part he enjoys the irritation he can cause. This is a leftover of the comedic act he used to do with his cousin in the troupe, and it’s his weird way of showing affection.

He is incredibly afraid of birds, which has caused problems for him on some of the outings near RF and after RF gets turned into a giant fuckoff floating school, as birds became even more commonplace on campus. He was chased by a pair of swans when he was 8 for almost two hours, which has left him with a deep fear and respect for most birds. He doesn’t have problems with tiny birds, but anything as big as a pigeon or more is an issue.

Helia

While he is in decent terms with Saladin, especially after the whole Darkar deal, he’s still estranged to the rest of his family, as he comes from a long, long line of warriors and fighters and for him to not want part in any of that has left him ostracized. His focus on the arts is partly also getting all his resentment and anger at his family (who technically dropped him at the drop of a hat when he left RF) into work, and he has a whole private collection of only his vent paintings. Only his father and mother still talk with him, and have tried to make the rest understand as well.

He initially started as a simple Sorcerer when he passed the transformation test, but after a few years he followed the path of Witches and has stayed like that since, as negative feelings seem to come to him far more easily. His name of Witch of Alloys comes from his knowledge on metal forging and molding, as that’s the way he tends to apply his magic - as if forming, shaping and straightening the magic.

While he is the most calm of the main guys, he’s almost as dramatic as Nex can be when in the right mood, and when teamed up, they’re incredibly insufferable as they feed off each other’s antics. He can also come off as arrogant with his art.

Nabu

He was essentially created with a sole purpose: to marry Princess Aisha of Andros and secure his family a spot in the royal lineage. He was trained from practically birth to be a good spouse and king, and as such was teached a variety of politics and household task for this. As the years passed, however, Nabu grew sick and tired of it, so a few days after the official announcement of the engagement between him and Aisha, he ran away from Andros and ended up in Magix during a randomized Teleportia spell. He went as Ophir for months and started working in a local museum, while also keeping tabs on news about Andros and Aisha. This is how he find out about her attending Alfea, and tries to arrange a meeting with her somehow.

He got a higher score for Witch in the WSFST (Witch/Sorcerer/Fairy Standarized Test), but chose to become a Fairy regardless. His power is over shadows and darkness, which was a huge help when escaping Andros without people foiling his plan. He’s the Fairy of Shadows due to his preferred strategy of using any shadow to hide himself as well as manipulate how others perceive it.

He’s naturally nice and affable, and tries to avoid conflict as much as he can, but he can get very passionate about other people’s lives as well as of the things he enjoys, which can end in very weird ways. He shares Diaspro’s love for soap operas and when they meet, they tend to yell at the screen together a LOT. They also relate to each other in their feelings of not being allowed agency on their own lives.

Roy

He’s a Red Fountain alumni, and started working as a sea captain for the Royal Family of Andros a few months after graduating, though he was already working for them during the summers as part of the main boat’s crew. He has known Aisha since she was a little kid, and Aisha considers him a big brother of sorts, though occasionally she’ll refer to him as her Uncle Roy as a joke.

He’s a Sorcerer in Energix, and he got said form after recovering from a nasty magic-resistant illness - having been stuck in Red Fountain for so long, a quick trip around the schools ended up with him absorbing so much ambient aura that the form unlocked on its own. His powers are over wind and air. He doesn’t transform much despite this, as he received more formal training in non-magical combat due to not having fast access to Epsila College for supplementary classes and didn’t really pursue them after graduating either.

He has such a casual way of talking that he has accidentally called a lot of nobles and even the royal family itself as “dude” or by their first names, which has miffed a lot of people and has caused troubles in his job whenever he gets one of the unnecesarily-vindictive nobles. Teredor has raised his eyebrow once or twice whenever he does this, but Niobe finds it endearing and Aisha doesn’t care, which is why he still has a job despite so many noble families claiming for his firing because he didn’t treat them “like nobility”.

Thoren

He’s the son of the original heir to the throne of Eraklyon, before he was forced to step down due to a very particular incident involving him and a mad fairy named Campana. He was raised as nobility and interacted with Sky quite a bit when they were younger, but he’s not really close to him or the rest of the family for that matter, as he always kept to himself.

He’s a bibliophile to the max, loving to read any kind of books and spending his days alone in the castle’s library absorbing as much information as he can. He’s very well-read as a result, but that came with a lack of social skills, which became apparent when he became a Paladin.

He became one of the youngest Paladins to have fully finished his training and studies, as he started and finished in just 4 months, when even Daphne took a year and a half to properly finish herself. He’s well-trained in fighting and healing, but he acts mostly as an ambassador and for talks, as his meek appearance is suited for speaking roles. This came to bite him in the ass, as his awkwardness around people ends up covered by his need to not mess up, which ends in a long, continous internal screaming during speeches during his first years. He has gotten better at talking over time, but he’s still very nervous in very big or important meetings regardless.

Entry 5: Akitu Festival-Day 10

     I regretfully have not been able to journal much, so I am taking the morning to do so before more festivities begin. The last few days have been a bit of a blur. It has been such a fun experience, Ancient Neo-Babylonians sure knew how to throw a party! There has been music, art, theatre, massive feasts, chariot races on the top of the walls of the city(3). The races were FOUR chariots across, the width of the walls is dumb-founding(3). They are absolutely massive and were constructed prior to motorized tools and equipment. Below is the closest contemporary image I could conjure.

PhotoCredit: https://www.slideshare.net/hemangisalunke/babylonian-civilization

      After the procession into Nabu’s Shrine of Destinies, King Nebuchadnezzar II was announced by the priests as the standing ruler of the city(5). From that point, the city erupted in elation from the eager crowd and the party began(5). The most striking note that I could make from the last few day was the array of class levels that were actively celebrating in the festival. The enslaved, the very poor, the wealthy....It did not seem to matter what role the citizen played, they were as one people in celebration of the Gods and their King(5). 

    The feasts have been something out of a storybook. Heaps and heaps of a variety of meats; lamb and beef were the primary stars(2)(7)(8). Grandiose platters of fresh fruits from the region; figs, grapes, and melons(2)(7)(8). The dish that I have enjoyed the most was a lamb stew that included milk and beets(2)! It seemed like a strange pairing, but the balance of savory lamb, the sweetness of the beets, the creamy component of the milk, and the use of local coriander and dill created a hearty and robust dish(2)(7)(8). The diets of the locals seems to rely heavily on barley, wheat, chickpeas, and millet grains(7)(8). The agriculture systems yield these crops at the most effective rate and are nutrient dense(7)(8). The result is A LOT of breads. The beer-bread paired the best with the lamb stew. I managed to peak at the tablets used by the chefs when they were disputing who made the best stew, this banter seemed to be fueled by the copious amounts of beer that was circulating during the festival(2). These cuneiform tablets were detailed descriptions of the recipes! I had no idea that Ancient Mesopotamians used cookbooks(2). 

     On the eighth day of the festival, while waiting for the afternoon theatrical production to begin, I overheard some of the wives of the guards of the palace gossiping about another wife serving her husband a divorce(1)(4)(6). This peaked my interest, as I had studied about Ancient Babylonian law(1)(4) and Hammurabi’s code in college(6). I was curious to see how accurately contemporary scholars deciphered Ancient Babylonian law in comparison to these women describing the rights of this jilted woman. 

     From what I could decipher, the story of this young wife was quite the scandal. The women discussed her withholding “relations” with her cheating husband, this was the official Code on women establishing divorce (1)(4)(6) . Apparently, if her husband was found cheating and she was not, her husband’s punishment would be to return to her the dowry paid by her Father and alimony (1)(4)(6) . According to another one of the gossiping women, it is alleged that the husband cheated with another one of the soldier’s wives. If this becomes public knowledge and the mistresses husband discovers this information, the mistress is to be drowned in the Euphrates as her punishment (1)(4)(6). I guess the Code of Hammurabi having different severity of punishment in regard to sex and economic status is true(6). I find myself grateful that I am not here permanently, I am grateful for my contemporary autonomy as a woman.

      The scandal of the Soldiers’ wives was cut short by a play dramatizing events of the festival. The piece was interesting, it surrounded the championing of the King of Babylon, the goddess Innanna, the divine shepard Dumuzi, and Maduk(5). The tone was largely focused on sex, the fertility of spring, and the great King(5). Overall, it was an informative and interesting day.

I have attached a rough drawing of the layout of the city. I have yet to find the Hanging Gardens, but tomorrow Scott and I are venturing out to see if we can find them! Wish us luck!

[political-fluffle]

The Ukraine plot didn’t go on for “months.” It almost certainly went on for years.

(…) 

The Ukraine scandal burst into the view of Congress and the public this summer when the House Intelligence Committee obtained a whistle-blower’s report. The report focused on a July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, and Trump’s plot to withhold military aid as leverage. But the fact that this sequence of events was exposed does not mean it is the entirety of the plot. The sequence of events instead suggests that Trump has been extorting Ukraine for his own political gain not only in 2017, but during the previous two years as well. (...)

Giuliani undertook what appear to be two previous episodes of trading diplomatic favors to Ukrainians in return for steps to protect Trump from the Mueller investigation. The first apparent trade involved a meeting between Trump and Ukraine’s then-president Petro Poroshenko in return for a Ukrainian investigation that would exonerate Manafort, then a prime target of Mueller’s.

Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake summarizes the timeline:

June 8, 2017: Trump ally Rudolph W. Giuliani meets with Poroshenko and then-Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko. June 9, 2017: Lutsenko’s office joins an existing investigation into the “black ledger,” which implicated former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The investigation had previously been handled only by Ukraine’s independent National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), and critics alleged the new move was meant to bury the scandal. June 14, 2017: Reports in Europe indicate Poroshenko will meet with Trump. June 19, 2017: Spicer says Poroshenko will meet with Vice President Pence, but doesn’t confirm a meeting with Trump. June 20, 2017: Poroshenko gets a brief “drop-in” visit with Trump. This is either a direct trade, or an exchange of mutually-beneficial actions that coincidentally occurred in very rapid succession.

The next apparent quid pro quo took place the next year. The U.S. sold desperately needed Javelin missiles to Ukraine that year, and the New York Times reported at the time that Ukraine suspended cooperation with the Mueller investigation. (This is another one of those Trump-era episodes where a credible report of shocking misconduct immediately sinks without a trace into the vast ooze of other Trumpian outrages.) “In every possible way, we will avoid irritating the top American officials,” one Ukrainian lawmaker and close ally of President Poroshenko explained to the Times. (...)

By 2019, Trump and Giuliani were barely hiding their actions. Giuliani was boasting about his activities to every reporter who would listen. And Trump was directing a growing array of officials to follow Giuliani’s lead, despite the obvious impropriety of placing American foreign policy in the hands of his private attorney who was openly working on his political behalf. (...)
