ARE RYOMEN SUKUNA AND [Your Name] SECRETLY DATING? FANS ARE SPIRALLING AS THE TENSION CONTINUES TO BOIL!
By Akira Himasa, Writer for the Shibuya Scoop; Gossip Guru Extraordinaire;
Move over, celebrity couples of the year! The world has only one question on its mind: Are Sukuna and (Y/N) secretly dating?
Rumors have been swirling faster than a cursed energy storm, and fans are in a frenzy after the latest on-set shenanigans between the two enigmatic co-stars!
The notorious King of Curses, played by the enigmatic and charming Ryomen Sukuna, has always been known for his intense, bone-chilling stare and deadly aura.
But lately, sharp-eyed fans have noticed something peculiar: Sukuna seems to have a soft spot when it comes to actress (YN).
While the two have shared screen time in plenty of heated battles, the off-screen tension is what’s truly raising eyebrows.
Sources close to the set have reported seeing Sukuna offering you snacks between takes (Snacks! from the King of Curses!!) and making suspiciously heartfelt eye contact during rehearsals. And even enjoys private times in each other's trailer!!!
"You can cut the tension with a knife." said one insider, who claims they even saw the two laughing together. Laughing. Together. Are the sparks flying, or are they just that good at acting?
This week, both stars were spotted leaving a trendy Tokyo restaurant together. Sukuna, as usual, attempted to keep things mysterious by scowling (standard Sukuna protocol), while you looked effortlessly relaxed, sporting a mischievous grin that drove the internet WILD.
Fans on Twitter immediately exploded with theories.
“They’re totally dating! The way they look at each other can’t be just acting,” one fan tweeted. Another added, “I’m ready to ship it! Ryomen Sukuna x (Y/N) are THE couple of the century.”
But not everyone is buying it. Some skeptics claim it’s all a clever marketing ploy to build hype for the upcoming season.
"There's no way Sukuna would let anyone get that close," scoffed one source close to the actor's entourage. "He's Ryomen freaking Sukuna—romance isn't in his script!"
Meanwhile, fans worldwide are dissecting every interview, every behind-the-scenes video, and even Sukuna’s posture next to you during press events.
The alleged chemistry has reached fever pitch, with TikTok compilations of your most flirtatious moments going viral, and conspiracy theories flying about Sukuna’s infamous smirk during your most recent interview.
So, are they? Or aren’t they?
In a cryptic joint statement (because of course there’s a statement), Ryomen Sukuna and (L/N) (Y/N) had this to say: “We’re just very close.” (WINK WINK.)
Is this the biggest non-denial of the year? Or are we all being played like cursed puppets?
The world may never know. But one thing's for sure: Sukuna and [Your Name] are the hottest topic in town, and we can’t look away!
Stay tuned for more updates—because whether it’s love or just top-tier acting, we’re hooked!

Edna May Oliver (Alice in Wonderland; Murder on a Honeymoon)— we're so back it's her time to shine shes scrungly to me for her snark and unique face. i called her the womens equivalent of the weird little guy when i submitted her for the main tournament and i was so right to say that. she used it to her advantage in her comedic performances, though her comments on her looks often came across as self defacing, commenting for example that despite her musical talents she never pursued theatre or opera primarily because "[with a horse face like mine] what else can i do but play comedy" well i just think shes swell is the thing! her performances as hildegarde withers give scrungle to me not due to appearance or weirdguy swag or the standard scrungly vibes i think most people judge characters by, but from the characters delicate balancing act between "NOT made for an investigative career" and "extremely fucking good at noticing details and therefore being SUITED for investigation"
Donald Sutherland (The Dirty Dozen, M*A*S*H)—googly pale eyes and perpetually looks sick
This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here. Reminder to please keep your propaganda limited to their work before 1970.
[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]
Edna May Oliver:

This woman's energy in literally all of her films is INSANE. Yeah she loves fiercely but boy is she also ready to kill. In A Tale of Two Cities (1935) she literally fights a woman to the death. She also played a female sleuth in the 1930s which I think is pretty fucking neat :)
youtube




EDNA MY LOVE. a character actress extraordinaire and iconic female weird little guy (actually she was tall and spindly but weird little guy is a state of mind yn). she was frequently found in 30s and 40s movies playing a spinter aunt or something of that ilk, who was not about to take anybody's nonsense and had cutting retorts to spare. she also starred in a series of murder mysteries in which she is a DELIGHT as schoolteacher turned amateur detective hildegard withers, who waltzes in does the cops' jobs better than them and wears some really great hats. she pops up a lot in adaptations of classic literature, playing lady catherine de bourgh in pride and prejudice, the nurse in romeo and juliet, the red queen in the 1933 alice in wonderland which has an insane cast loaded with vintage scrunglers, aunt trotwood in david copperfield and others, but she was equally at home in modern comedies. whoever she was playing you know she probably had some hard truths and/or sharp witticisms to drop on everybody around her with her distinctive vocal delivery, or just volumes to speak with her terrifically expressive face.

"We were stupefied that he died. I've never gotten over the shock of it. I’m still shocked he’s dead. I wake up sometimes and I’m amazed by that." John Waters.
A moment of silence for a hog princess, please! Baltimore’s finest export, the fabulous Divine (né Harris Glenn Milstead, 19 October 1945 – 7 March 1988) died on this day precisely 37 years ago aged just 42. John Waters’ toilet-mouthed muse and leading lady of choice, cult cinema actor / actress, drag monster, raspy-voiced hi-NRG disco chanteuse, hybrid of Jayne Mansfield and Godzilla designed to scare hippies, all-round freak diva extraordinaire and eternal role model for punks, queers and misfits everywhere - Divine is the mutha of us all! Do something extra filthy in his memory today! Pictured: austere portrait of Divine by the great Peter Hujar at the Metropolitan Museum, 1976.

SCAD Savannah Film Fest: ‘Blitz’ to Open, ‘Emilia Pérez’ and ‘Anora’ Stars Among 11 Honorees
The fest will fête a host of top talent including Annette Bening, Jerry Bruckheimer, Colman Domingo, Karla Sofia Gascón, Jharrel Jerome, Richard Linklater, Mikey Madison, Isabela Merced, Steve McQueen, Lupita Nyong’o, Daisy Ridley and Sebastian Stan.

BY SCOTT FEINBERG
The SCAD Savannah Film Festival, an increasingly important stop on the road to the Oscars, will kick off its 2024 edition on Oct. 26 with a screening of Apple’s Blitz — writer/director Steve McQueen will be on hand to collect the fest’s Outstanding Achievement in Directing Award — and will also screen many other top awards contenders including Netflix’s Emilia Pérez, Neon’s Anora, A24’s Sing Sing and DreamWorks’ The Wild Robot, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively report.
A host of prominent individuals who are in awards contention will make appearances — and collect special honors — at the largest university-run film festival in the nation.
A trio of best actress contenders will be on hand: Karla Sofía Gascón will receive the Distinguished Performance Award at a screening of Emilia Pérez; Mikey Madison will receive the Breakthrough Award at a screening of Anora; and Daisy Ridley will receive the Lumiere Award in recognition of her current projects Magpie and Young Woman and the Sea.
As will be three best actor contenders: Colman Domingo will receive the Spotlight Award at a screening of Sing Sing; Sebastian Stan will receive the Maverick Award at a screening of A Different Man; and Jharrel Jerome will receive the Lumiere Award at a screening of Unstoppable.
Lupita Nyong’o, who voices a principal character in The Wild Robot, will receive the Virtuoso Award at a screening of that film. Writer/director Richard Linklater will receive the Lifetime Achievement in Screenwriting Award at a screening of Hit Man. And 23-year-old actress Isabela Merced will receive the Rising Star Award at a screening of Alien: Romulus.
Additionally, producer extraordinaire Jerry Bruckheimer, who worked on Young Woman and the Sea, will receive the Legend of Entertainment Award at an In Conversation event discussing his career; and Annette Bening will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at a screening of her 1990 film The Grifters.
“This year’s honorees epitomize the extraordinary breadth of talent within the world of cinema, from seasoned veterans to Hollywood’s rising stars,” Christina Routhier, the fest’s executive director, tells THR. “I am thrilled for our students and attendees to witness the incredible star power coming to Savannah.”
This year’s SCAD Savannah Film Festival, which will run from Oct. 26 to Nov. 2, will announce a number of other prominent attendees in the coming days, including the filmmakers whose documentaries will be featured on the 11th annual Docs to Watch Panel, which will be moderated, as always, by yours truly, this year on Wednesday, Oct. 30.

Screenshots from YYXH Ep. 1
Ling Miaomiao, drama consumer extraordinaire spends her whole day off reading a brand new book by her favorite fantasy author only for it to turn out to be a rank, idiotic, mediocre romance!! The betrayal!!
Miaomiao now somewhat bemused to find herself in aforementioned mediocre romance as the no-good, no-brain, vicious secondary female lead, trapped by a System into playing out that role.
Omg hi!! It’s this actress!! Off the top of my head, she showed up last year in A Journey to Love as the empress and in TTEOTM as the SFL. Her character, the mirror demon, gets immediately defeated, but she also apparently has an official character poster. Possibilities: she’s relevant again later (who’s this master she mentions?); they wanted to show off this sick-ass character design (who can blame them); they were marketing to her fans (most likely option).
Meet our secondary leads! This moment is a good example of showing the audience how Fuyi and Mu Yao were the original novel’s leads.
After TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES, our male lead finally shows up in style via guitar riff accompanied song, blasting in as a fireball, single-handedly beating our little mirror demon.
Miaomiao and Mu Sheng… do not hit it off. He’s insanely protective of his sister and is (justifiably) suspicious that Lin Yu (the character Miaomiao has entered) has bad intentions. But they do have pretty intense chemistry! Mu Sheng is sneaky, crafty, petty, often quite mean, and the baby brother of all time. He also operates on a slightly different moral system than either Fuyi or Mu Yao. The scene before this one, he is about to kill the mirror demon despite Fuyi’s directives because she hurt Mu Yao, until he gets distracted looking after Mu Yao because the mirror demon hurt her. 🤷 Essentially, at this point his motivations can be boiled down to “A-jie?? Is a-jie okay??? If you hurt a-jie, die!! If you fail to pay proper attention to a-jie, die!!! If you steal my a-jie’s attention, DIEEEEEEEE!!!!!”
After defeating the mirror demon, Miaomiao meets her character’s dad, who by complete coincidence is played by the same actor as HER dad, who is dead. THAT’S RIGHT, BABY!! DADDY ISSUES WILL LITERALLY FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO!!!

one of your favorite kdrama couples is now in the goblin what would happen?
anon. ANON. this is going to be so long because I have three couples I want to talk about - two who are at a tie for my faves, and one who just. fits into the goblin verse.
I am so sorry anon but I can never stop talking about them, you don't need to read this whole thing it got out of hand 😭😭😭😭
(I am so crazy happy to get this ask you don't even know)
legend of the blue sea - heo joon jae/sim cheong and their past lives, kim dam ryeong/sehwa
ok ok ok so in the past. I can imagine the Grim Reaper finding their bodies, to, you know, reap them, and seeing them tangled with each other at the bottom of the ocean floor.
the spear that stabbed through his heart, and hers, connects them together - even through the tides and waves, at the bottom of the ocean floor, they are one.
I imagine their souls resting on a rock nearby. sehwa would be in her mer form, and maybe dam ryeong's head would be resting on her lap.
she knows what's coming. he doesn't. he's still glad that whatever they are now, they are still together - even as he hates her, a little bit, for killing herself after him.
when the Reaper arrives, he only has one name in his hand. Dam Ryeong's.
because maybe mermaids don't go to the same afterlife as humans.
he would scream, I think. refuse to leave her. try and draw a sword against the Reaper.
sehwa would, in the end, tell him to move on. would promise to meet him again. her face wouldn't be smiling, because I don't think she got to smile much, in her last moments of that life.
she wouldn't use words, to reassure him. she would use her true voice. the - mind telepathy thing.
he would leave, then, after begging the Reaper to remove the bracelet from the corpse's hand.
(he knows, that in her next life, she would find the bracelet with his name on it again. and he didn't want the slightest chance of her finding it stuck to a skeleton.)
(the bracelet is jadeite. same as the ring which, in another life, Wang Yeo had forced on his wife.)
when they go to the tearoom, the Reaper would, of course, offer him the tea (which makes one forget about the memories of their past life as they move to the next.)
Dam Ryeong would refuse to drink it.
The Reaper would nod. Warn him, that the memories will be confusing. they will take time to come back, and to remember is to allow fate to repeat.
Dam Ryeong would smile.
because he knows. the man, who reached across time to protect the woman he loves, the man who turned his home into a time capsule to warn his future self, the man who dreamt of his future even as his own present came to an end.
he knows, that Joon Jae wouldn't allow what happened to them to repeat.
he would run, I think. just to get back to earth faster. get back to her.
THEN NEXT LIFE. this is set in a fantasy where goblin didn't, in fact, give us that ending, and the core four are all together and happy and lovely
NOW HERE'S A FUN FACT. the actress who plays the fl in goblin and the actor who plays the ml in lotbs, they were in a drama together, and their chemistry is known as one of the best ever (people rpf ship them a lot too)
another fun fact. cheong is a very jealous woman.
for funsies, this is set in like. a convenience store. maybe ji eun tak bumps into joon jae and apologizes, very sweetly, because she's a sweetie. maybe they accidentally bump into each other again, because plot convenience.
my dear beloved lovely cheong. oh my lovely woman. my dear one. would hiss at eun tak.
(she once bit the second female lead's finger. my girl is a rabid dog whose favourite person is joon jae.)
NOW! We add our other rabid animal who is not housebroken. kim shin, goblin extraordinaire, would find this strange Creature hissing at his bride and, being the epitome of maturity, hiss back.
mermaid v goblin hissing match, where their s/o's watch in horrified amusement.
(joon jae is betting on cheong. eun tak is also betting on cheong.)
I think the Reaper and Sunny would just be watching at a distance. sunny, incredibly amused.
the Reaper, in recognition.
he would see that they found each other.
he would be happy, I think.
and with his memories, he would be able to remember how similar they were to him and Sunny.
(the one who died, and the one who followed. the ones who remembered. the ones who separated, and the ones who found each other again.)
if this is a world that is good to him, he wpuld get to hold Sunny's hand as he realises this.
if it is not a good world... Well.
(in the end I believe joon jae would simply have to carry cheong out of the store.
she won the hissing match.)
(additional funsies if Deokhwa is there, and flirts with Cheong, and gets his wallet and watch stolen for the audacity)
................
NEXT. LOVELY RUNNER. Im Sol and Ryu Sunjae.
I don't have too many thoughts on this honestly. they're just living their life happily and angstily on the side.
BUT.
I think the grim reaper would be very confused and frustrated, by how many times he's had to reap Sun Jae, only for time to suddenly get fucked up? he is NOT PAID ENOUGH to listen to this soul babble about Sol every fucking time. ji eun tak and her missing soul is nothing compared to Sunjae's refusal to stay dead.
on the other hand imagine if it were Kim Shin who made the watch a time machine. we know he helps out people on the edge of their life. we know he's got a soft spot for humans. SO WHAT IF HE MADE THE WATCH A TIME MACHINE AND GAVE SOL ALL THE CHANCES SHE NEEDED TO SAVE SUNJAE????? HE'S A GUARDIAN GOD FOR A REASON
bonus points if he helped tae sung remember and arranged for the White Truck of Doom to kill the main villain.
Kim Shin absolutely would listen the fuck out of Sunjae's songs by the way. "I don't want you to be the rain that soaks me only momentarily...... You are a precious gift from the sky, when you are alone, I will protect you, you came in like a sudden shower -" man would bawl his heart out. hey maybe this is why he saves them. hear a man simp over a lost love long enough, you start rooting for them, I suppose.
(cause I'm falling slowly in love with you.... even if it all gets erased again and again. ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS LINE ISN'T GOBLIN CODED.)
..............
AND THIS ONE. FROM TOUCH YOUR HEART. I wouldn't call them my favourite couple though they defo were so so so sweet
here's the thing. the male lead is the same guy who plays the Reaper, and the female lead is the same girl who plays Sunny.
IT'S LIKE THEIR FOURTH (AND LAST) LIFE. CANON. EVEN THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.
so here are two scenes I dreamt up while watching touch your heart
so - if a reaper touches you, they can see everything from your past life. if a reaper kisses you, you remember everything from your past life.
there's this scene, in touch your heart.
Oh Jin-shim is hurtling towards him, tripping on her own feet and absolutely about to fall to the ground.
This time, he doesn't move out of the way.
As she lands in his arms, distantly it registers that he's touching her.
He closes his eyes for a split moment.
He sees... Tears. He sees a ring, forced onto a hand. He sees a corpse. He sees death.
He sees years and years and years of death, and then, he sees life.
He sees kind eyes. He sees yearning eyes. He sees pained eyes. He sees grieving eyes. He sees eyes which never forgot, not once, never.
He sees eyes that are saying goodbye.
He sees eyes that, strangely enough, look a lot like Oh Jin-shim's.
When he opens his own eyes - there's very little of those memories left, except an imperceptible ache.
"I caught you this time." "Yes you did!"
He sees smiling eyes, then.
At that moment, he decides that he likes these eyes.
THEN, WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR FIRST KISS
"Ms. Oh Jin-shim. You said that - that I didn't need to ask." Jung-rok leans down, towards her, and -
Their lips touch.
She's an actress. It's not like she's never kissed anyone before. But...
When her eyes flutter closed, there's a strange ache in her chest.
She remembers, then. A letter of goodbye. Love, and at the same time, pain. Knowing, with certainty, that no matter how much she loved her king, he would always be the one who gave the order for her death.
Despite it all, she also remembers clinging to the memories when she could have let go.
When she opens her eyes, though?
She doesn't see Wang Yeo, or the Reaper.
She just sees Jung-rok. Impossibly soft, impossibly earnest, impossibly hers.
In that moment, she is Kim Sun, and she is Sunny, and strangely, she doesn't want to be.
So she closes her eyes, and she melts into the kiss. She melts into loving Kwon Jung-rok, and she melts into being Oh Jin-shim.
She lets the memories melt away.
When she looks at him next? There is no bloody fear in the corner of her sight, looming like a monster waiting to cloak his love.
This does mean that when a strange man, with teary eyes and a loving smile comes and asks for her autograph, months later, she doesn't recognize him. She doesn't feel the need to call him family. She doesn't understand why he's offering her her favourite fruit.
She gives him the autograph, though, and a picture with her.
Kim Shin finds that he doesn't mind it. Not if the price of his sister smiling so happily is the lack of recognition in her eyes.
(When another, younger, fan comes along, introducing herself as Ji Eun-tak, there is no recognition there either.
But they meet in a chicken shop. And in some strange echo of the past... Jin-shim buys the kid some fried chicken, and pickled radish.
Eun-tak gives her a teary smile, and calls her 'cool'.)

Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 4
Two-time Tony-winning dancer-extraordinaire Bebe Neuwirth (1958) is best known for her winning role as Velma Kelly in Chicago (1996) alongside her beloved Annie Reinking. After playing Velma off-and-on for some years, she then took on Roxie, and later Matron "Mama" Morton. Bebe has also won for Sweet Charity (1986), and is a two-time Emmy winner for, of course, Lilith in Cheers. Other credits include Here Lies Jenny (2004), Fosse (2001), and Cabaret (2024), which opened to glowing reviews for Bebe, and dismal reviews for basically everything else. In addition to her beloved stage, Bebe is a devoted cat-lover, and activist. She founded the Dancers' Resource program to provide support for injured and/or aging dancers.
Anika Noni Rose (1972) is a Tony-winning actress known for Caroline, or Change (2004), A Raisin in the Sun (2014), and the 2013 first workshop of Hamilton where she originated Angelica Schuyler. She is also known for being one of the iconic Dreamgirls in the 2006 film, as well as the voice of Tiana in Disney's The Princess and the Frog. In 2011, alongside Lea Salonga, she was named a certified, official, Disney Legend. Her latest Broadway show, Uncle Vanya, just opened this past week.
NEW PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT: ALL POLLS HERE
youtube
"Bebe Neuwirth, my beloved, I have at last seen you in Cabaret, and I am so sorry. You deserve a far better production, and a far better show social media team that recognizes your abundant talent and rave reviews. Please continue to post cat photos, because they bring me nothing but joy."
youtube
"Does Anika Noni Rose not have a pet? In my quest to get a photo of every Diva with their animal, she turned up empty, so...that's something. Also, her Vanya revival wasn't well-received, so that's two Divas in this poll in substandard revivals. Woo-hoo."
#broadwaydivastournament#broadway#tournament poll#broadway divas#musical theatre#bebe neuwirth#anika noni rose#round 4#look i tried to get them on the same song wavelength like everyone else but i couldn't locate bebe's “another hundred people” in time

Here’s part 1 to our little fanfic / oneshot moment!! Excuse the mediocre writing but I just felt the need to help feed the tiny Sessanator community 😌 I think I’m gonna try and do both versions of it but this is the jumping off point for both.
Dominic had been away filming a new movie for 3 months in California. You were proud of him but god, did you miss him. You hadn’t been able to take time off of work to go and visit or stay in Cali with him during filming so you were forced to stay 2,800 miles away from the love of your life. You had been together for almost a year so you knew the lack of seeing him would cause a strain on the relationship that you had been worried about, some nights staying up and pacing your shared apartment (surely bothering your downstairs neighbors) wondering if he was even thinking of you while out in California with his new friends and co-workers. You weren’t famous, but like him you were in the media industry, just more behind the scenes than on the silver screen and red carpets. You worried he may have found someone more famous and was with them while he was away. Of course you’d heard the Hollywood horror stories and drama, headlines plastered with words along the lines of “Super famous man exposed for cheating on normal partner with ultra gorgeous famous successful actress - model - climate change activist extraordinaire while away filming! My goodness! The scandal!” and all of it got to your head. Not to mention the time difference from east coast to west wasn’t helping your busy schedules line up so your communication mostly consisted of late night phone calls and Facetimes where either one of you were absolutely exhausted and incoherent, or sporadic texts while you were on break at work and Dom was in between scenes. But finally the day had come where filming had just finally wrapped last Wednesday so he was ready to tie up the loose ends on set and come home to you. You knew that the first 2 days of him being home would be full of jet lag and making up for lost sleep, but you were ready with your weekend off, calendar cleared, plenty of blankets, water, pillows, and your renewed Netflix subscription. Friends of his knew that he would be tired and wasn’t going to want an immediate welcome home party, so a few friends sent congrats presents to the apartment ahead of time for when he got home and then would treat him to a small get together when he was feeling more like himself after much needed rest. Everything was set up in the apartment so he could immediately crash once he got home to you, now it was just time to go pick him up from the airport.
To Be Continued…
-xoxo 🎬
muahahahahahha 😈
sessa nation is eating good tonight. we are feasting even. the three members of this fandom are jumping for joy as the 5th fic about dominic sessa ever is dropped.
today is declared a national holiday.
sending you 50 billion kisses 🎬 <333

Oliver M. Berry High's Tigress Trinity

As I showed earlier, I have more HSS MCs, but these ones were the first to be created and follow most of the canon
Director's Cut of them under the cut
Gala Moschen, The Founder
Gala was the daughter of a deadbeat father and a single mom who was a Brazilian immigrant looking for the famous 'American Dream' and found herself disappointed by the system and how many people it abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Her great-grandma died and left her and her mom a significant sum, and Gala had a great mind for numbers, and with the supervision of her mother and lawyer, Oliver Miguel Berry, an old but sly and brilliant man, built it from the ground, first called Cedar Cove High, and would be called Oliver M. Berry when he retired as a lawyer and stepped up as a principal, his true passion (and the one to pick Hughs as principal). She was intelligent, quiet, observant and incredibly passionate, with a strong sense of justice and a shrewd girl, she was at first not very pretty: she had big glasses, short hair and a lot of acne, but made up for having charm and charisma for days, and her kind, generous and genuine heart attracted many, especially Julian.
They dated very soon, and Julian slowly seemed to become a better man by Gala's side and were each other's kiss, relationship and 'I love you's. Until Julian, young and immature, broke up with Gala and started dating Autumn. Gala dated Ace, whom had redeemed himself after trying to shut the school down. She caught a prestigious scholarship and flew to Switzerland for the rest of the school day before graduation. She came back a changed woman: grew a few inches, as well as impressive curves that her Brazilian mother told her she'd get and started to truly take care of herself, all thanks to her socialite friend that she made in there. She and Julian would meet again at Ohio University, where he'd win her back and never let go. They married two years after graduating university, where she got a master's degree in Political Sciences and had two children, Mirena and Aaron Castillo-Moschen.
Elisa Connor, The Glue of Berry
Eldest of triplets, born of a Spanish immigrant and an American man with Hispanic ancestry, she used to live in Maryland before moving to Cedar Cove after her parents' divorce and job offer to her father, Scott, who took joint custody with his ex-wife. Out of her sisters, she was the one looking forward most to start anew. She instantly felt a connection to Berry, like she finally belonged somewhere, and was the one to win prom queen, homecoming queen and guest of honour, take down Isa and create a tentative olive branch between Hearst and Berry after half a decade of rivalry. She fell in love with Emma Hawkins, who was her best friend, girlfriend and everything.
She didn't appear much during the CA timeline, but rather her more artistic sister Elena, who was beautiful, talented and beloved by the student body and teachers, among them Mr. Olson. Preppy, assertive, optimistic and with a rebellious streak, she was the one to unite the HSS gang and make it a strong group, uniting otherwise separated brands, such as band, cheerleading and jocks. She was considered to run for student body president, but politely declined, being more happy in the sidelines, having had enough time in the spotlight, and thoroughly supported Rory, while Edurne supported Teddy. She was the smartest of the sisters and got generous offers from Penn and graduated a year early, studying a bachelor and master's degree in Children's Education and became a kindergarten's teacher. She and Emma married soon after graduation and had a double wedding with Elena and Maria and had a daughter, Julie Connor.
Halley Buchaneer, Humanist Extraordinaire
The youngest of the pack, she knew she wanted to be an actress for a long time, and dedicated herself to the humanities. Although she had a sorta puppy crush on Rory, it faded away when she met Skye, and was soon crushing hard on her. She was one of the most talented actresses to ever grace Berry, apart from Cira Jacobs, the first girl actor of Berry High and who had just debuted in a famous film.
She resented Danielle for sabotaging her and deep down, never truly forgave her or ever trusted her, and advocated for both Rory and Teddy, but eventually Rory won and she became official with Skye and encouraged her to emancipate from her abusive parents and find a foster home until she was 18. She graduated in an Ivy League university for the arts and soon began working for famous actress and producer Kiara Clark, being one of the newest faces in Hollywood. The two never married and only had children when they were both in their late thirties, adopted twin girls Abigail and Aurora Buchaneer.

the circle is really small huh. so one of zz’s co-stars in wdb posted a video of him playing the violin and in the bg is ‘joker’. we know zz/wyb loves that film and i guess everyone else. lol. so people started looking at his profile and well —- he is also following wyb. which is interesting cause they haven’t worked together before. but looks like he is fond of skateboards, and wyb is skateboard ambassador extraordinaire so that may be the link here. tho that’s just one photo on his weibo where he took a picture and the background is a wall of skateboards. nothing of him doing it. so we could also be wrong and he just found that background cool to take a photo. or maybe he is yibo movie fan. who knows.




another example of people they work with following the other and we can’t figure out what’s the connection except zz & wyb. like those SDC people following zz suddenly. this person only follows 94 accounts so i think he is not the type to just randomly follow someone just because. wyb barely posts on his weibo so it’s not like you can keep up with his life if you follow him. yesterday i was talking about that other actress who mentioned yibo and now this. what’s with the wdb team? lol. do you all know something we don’t? 🤭🤭🤭

Edna May Oliver (Alice in Wonderland; Murder on a Honeymoon)— we're so back it's her time to shine shes scrungly to me for her snark and unique face. i called her the womens equivalent of the weird little guy when i submitted her for the main tournament and i was so right to say that. she used it to her advantage in her comedic performances, though her comments on her looks often came across as self defacing, commenting for example that despite her musical talents she never pursued theatre or opera primarily because "[with a horse face like mine] what else can i do but play comedy" well i just think shes swell is the thing! her performances as hildegarde withers give scrungle to me not due to appearance or weirdguy swag or the standard scrungly vibes i think most people judge characters by, but from the characters delicate balancing act between "NOT made for an investigative career" and "extremely fucking good at noticing details and therefore being SUITED for investigation"
Max Schreck (Nosferatu)—He played Count friggin' Orlok in Nosferatu (the 1922 unlicensed adaptation of Dracula)! One of the most iconically scrungly performances in cinema history, with his ratlike face, claw-like hands, and jerky, stilted body language, Schreck was so convincing that people speculated he really was a vampire, a theory that was later adapted into 2000's Shadow of the Vampire feat. modern scrungly actor Willem Dafoe as vampire!Schreck. Schreck was scrungly in other movies, too, e.g. as The Sinister Conspirator in The Finances of the Grand Duke, but Orlok is by far his most significant, well-known and easily-viewable performance, and it's such a landmark that that alone should be enough to place him as one of the top-ranked scrungly actors of all time.
This is round 2 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.
[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]
Edna May Oliver:
This woman's energy in literally all of her films is INSANE. Yeah she loves fiercely but boy is she also ready to kill. In A Tale of Two Cities (1935) she literally fights a woman to the death. She also played a female sleuth in the 1930s which I think is pretty fucking neat :)

EDNA MY LOVE. a character actress extraordinaire and iconic female weird little guy (actually she was tall and spindly but weird little guy is a state of mind yn). she was frequently found in 30s and 40s movies playing a spinter aunt or something of that ilk, who was not about to take anybody's nonsense and had cutting retorts to spare. she also starred in a series of murder mysteries in which she is a DELIGHT as schoolteacher turned amateur detective hildegard withers, who waltzes in does the cops' jobs better than them and wears some really great hats. she pops up a lot in adaptations of classic literature, playing lady catherine de bourgh in pride and prejudice, the nurse in romeo and juliet, the red queen in the 1933 alice in wonderland which has an insane cast loaded with vintage scrunglers, aunt trotwood in david copperfield and others, but she was equally at home in modern comedies. whoever she was playing you know she probably had some hard truths and/or sharp witticisms to drop on everybody around her with her distinctive vocal delivery, or just volumes to speak with her terrifically expressive face.

Max Schreck:
Most scrungly onscreen vampire has gotta be Count Orlock, (and the second is Willem Dafoe playing Max Shreck playing Count Orlock, so technically he takes up both the top spots)
Bizarre, fun, can’t look away - Literally blinks once

“Dietrich is not a woman, not a man, but a phantom as could only come out of Central Europe.” Doyenne of fashion Diana Vreeland quoted in the book Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up (1990) by Bob Colacello.
“She has sex but no positive gender. Her masculinity appeals to women and her sexuality to men.” Kenneth Tynan.
“If we had to invent someone to be the ideal woman … we would have to invent Marlene Dietrich.” Billy Wilder.
Let’s all pause for a moment of old-school diva worship! Supremely world-weary, enigmatic and throaty-voiced German actress, chanteuse, personification of Continental decadence and all-round international glamourpuss extraordinaire, Marlene Dietrich (27 December 1901 – 6 May 1992) was born on this day! Pictured: portrait of Dietrich by John Engstead, promoting the 1940 film Seven Sinners.

We all have those guys we love. The actors and actresses who rarely get top billing, but when you see them, you're happy because you know you'll enjoy their work, whatever the quality of the movie or show.
Stanley Tucci used to be one of them, before he graduated into being the internet's favourite DILF. Stephen Root is. Alison Janney is assuredly among their number. Even with the Oscar wins, JK Simmons and Melissa Leo probably are, too. Scenery-chewer extraordinaire, Peter Stormare definitely is. Amy Ryan. Margo Martindale. Walton Goggins. You all have a favourite.
Ray Stevenson was one of mine.
As Titus Pullo in Rome - the terrible, duty-shirking, maybe Caesarion-fathering offset to Kevin McKidd's straight-laced, honourable Vorenus. Or in Outpost - a Nazi zombie counterpart to McKidd's werewolf genre movie, Dog Soldiers. The small roles in the Thor movies and the fantastic turn as Blackbeard in the perpetually underrated Black Sails.
He's a guy whose work I will miss.

#ray stevenson#Rome#black sails#Those guys#I know tumblr loves black sails. I'm talking about the wider world and the barbarians who dwell in it
