Hawkins, Indiana had always been a strange place. Whether the locals wanted to admit it or not, something had been wrong with that place since the moment it was built. Well, that’s what happens when you build a town right over a Hellmouth.
‘A Hellmouth is a sort of portal between Earth and the next dimension- a true hot spot for supernatural activity. Even when closed, the mystical energy attracts all sorts of creatures.’
That’s what Lacey’s Watcher, Derrick Posey had told her when she first started fulfilling her sacred duty. As it had been for centuries, in every generation, there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. And she… is the Slayer.
To be given a sacred duty at the ripe age of fourteen after moving across the country was a big deal, to say the least. Lacey, however, did her best to take her job seriously. She never made any close friends, kept her appearances by day innocent and unsuspecting. And when the sun went down, she hunted. Protecting the town from the monsters that went bump in the night. And Derrick had been there for her every step of the way, coaching her and teaching her how to be the best slayer he could be. Because if she wasn’t… she was dead. And the next slayer would be called upon.
Everything changed for the worst when Will Byers suddenly went missing. That’s when the Hellmouth really reared it’s ugly head and began to crack, spilling parts of that other dimension into the one Lacey needed to protect. That very same week, Barbara Holland went missing, and so did Derrick Posey. Missing was a gentler term to cover what had really happened. Again, Lacey was on her own.
The town had gone to shit since then. No matter how hard Lacey fought or researched, she was always missing *something* about the town that had the gates of hell creaking open every year or so. Then they would close, giving Lacey the littlest bit of hope that it would stay that way. It never did.
The latest opening had been the worst. Right in the middle of town, so dangerously close to the library Lacey worked at. The news had brushed it off as just another bad earthquake following a string of murders. Some Hawkins residents stayed after that, and most left.
Lacey had spent the better part of her morning going through the returned books, making sure they were still in good condition. Some son of a bitch had decided to stick a wad of gum on the back of a nice hardback book and let it dry there, and Lacey was determined to get it off without destroying the rest of the book. Using a letter opener, she carefully scraped away at the gum, almost missing Dustin Henderson and his gaggle of friends walk into the library, talking in hushed whispers.
Dustin had always been a frequent flier at the library. Lacey had engaged in some small talk with him over the years, and from what she could tell, he was an alright kid. A little odd at times, giving her a gut feeling that the poor kid knew more than he let on, but still an okay kid. She’d often let him check out more books than allowed, or waive a late fee here or there for him.
Setting aside the gum-infested book and letter opener aside, Lacey moved to stand, getting the group’s attention. “Anything I can help you all find?”

For the last few days, I’ve been getting really into How To Dance In Ohio and, my goodness, I adore the cast EP and have watched and re-watched every YouTube video about it I can! But, from what I could find, there isn’t a Wiki page or anything like that with information about the characters! If you can, I would love to know some fun facts (maybe pronouns, likes, dislikes, whatever else!) about the seven lovely autistic people we follow in the show!
I’m hoping to see it sometime next year! 💛
Hey there!
The Wikipedia page does exist, although it's still pretty sparse as the show is still in previews and there are rules about what the updates are allowed to be. Everything has to be substantiated by a published article on an established platform or a first-person interview.
Here's the character breakdown from the Equity Principal Audition, with some of my own notes added for context. I've included some of the nicknames we've come up with for the characters also, some of which are canon.
Johanna: 40s-50s, she/her, powerful mezzo-soprano. Caroline’s mother, perky and positive, keeps a watchful eye over her daughter, artsy mom vibes. (Note: it's pronounced "yo-HAH-na.") Also known as: Jo-Jo (pronounced "yo-yo;" not canon) Currently: played by Darlesia Cearcy, and understudied by Marina Pires. (Note also: Darlesia's name is pronounced Dar-LEE-see-ah.) Fun fact: Darlesia isn't much of a public social media user, but when I looked her up on Twitter, this is the first thing that popped up, from her time in Shuffle Along. If I were her, I wouldn't even bother with a headshot and resume anymore, I'd just hand casting directors a copy of that tweet. It pretty much says it all.
Terry: 40s-50s, she/her, powerful mezzo-soprano. Jessica’s mother, patient, loves leopard print, gives her daughter lots of space, cool mom vibes. Also known as: Ter-Bear. (not canon) Currently: played by Haven Burton, and understudied by Marina Pires. Fun fact: Haven plays my mom but she's only seven years older than me in real life. Marina P is four years younger than me. Best of all: when we were premiering in Syracuse, this role was also covered by an SU junior (Elana Babbit). She didn't get to go on, but if she had, I would've had a mother who was almost half my age!
Michael: 40s-50s, he/him, mid to high tenor. Marideth’s father, blue-collar, doing his best, is anxious in new social settings. Also plays: "Derrick," a pharmacy technician employee at Columbus Community College, who has a brief interaction with Caroline (and may or may not be a murderer). Currently: played by Nick Gaswirth, and understudied by Martín Solá.
Amy: 40s-50s, she/her, soprano. Drew’s mother, cultured, a housewife with a master’s degree, adept at managing her husband and son’s needs. Also plays: Shauna Parks, a super hawtt reporter from the Columbus Gazette. Currently: played by Melina Kalomas and understudied by Marina Pires.
Kurt: 40s-50s, he/him, mid to high baritone. Drew’s father, white-collar, conservative, a bit formal, has high expectations for Drew. Also plays: Hawkins, Mel's manager at Paws and Claws Pet Shop, who's kind of a douchebag, and Rick Jenkins, a blogger (not a reporter) who has no idea how to write about disability with any shred of respect. Currently: played by Carlos L. Encinias--who calls his collection of roles "The Villain Track" though I assure you is an exquisitely kind and funny anti-villain in real life--and understudied by Martín Solá.
Dr. Emilio Amigo: to play 50s, he/him, high baritone, Cuban-American. A clinical psychologist, founder and director of Amigo Family Counseling, great at his job, charismatic, full of empathy, recently divorced, at a crossroads. Currently: played by Caesar Samayoa, and understudied by Martín Solá and Carlos L. Encinias.
Ashley Amigo: to play 22, she/her, mezzo-soprano with a strong mix, of Cuban-American. Amigo’s daughter, a dancer recovering from an injury, is at a crossroads. Currently: played by Cristina Sastre, and understudied by Marina Pires and Marina Jansen.
Drew: 18, he/him, mid to high tenor, autistic. He needs structure, a bit formal, knows a lot about electricity and electrical grids, is looking for deeper connections in life, possibly romantic, on track to go to his dream college. Also known as: Drewby (by his mom; canon) Currently: played by Liam Pearce and understudied by Collin Hancock, Jean Christian Barry, and Hunter Hollingsworth.
Marideth: 18, she/her, alto with a strong mix, autistic. Raised by a single dad, loves to research facts, hates shoelaces, doesn’t like to be touched, is anxious in new social settings. Also known as: Wolf (not canon) Currently: played by Madison Kopec, and understudied by Marina Jansen and Ayanna Nicole Thomas. Fun fact: Marideth isn't the first canonically autistic character originated by Madison Kopec. I first heard of them back in 2019 when they were cast as Emma in a reading of a new musical called Indigo, which eventually had its world premiere last summer in (funnily enough) Ohio.
Caroline: 19, she/her, soprano with a strong mix, autistic. Perky and positive, goes to community college, is best friends with Jessica but is obsessed with her boyfriend. Also known as: Menace (not canon) Currently: played by Amelia Fei, and understudied by Ayanna Nicole Thomas and Marina Jansen.
Jessica: 20, she/her, full-voiced mezzo-soprano, autistic. Wants to live on her own, loves fantasy but is surprisingly practical, has a flair for drama. Also known as: Rachel Berry (obviously not canon as that's copyright infringement) Currently: played by Ashley Wool (yours truly) and understudied by Ayanna Nicole Thomas and Marina Jansen. Fun fact: Lol. 20. That's adorable. I'm absolutely not 20.
Mel: 24, she/he/they, earthy alto, autistic. The oldest member of the group, a seeker into self-help and mindfulness, a natural leader, works at a pet shop. Also known as: Head of Reptiles (technically canon, but we also just like to imagine Mel as a mythical creature with a reptilian head) Currently: played by Imani Russell and understudied by Marina Jansen and Ayanna Nicole Thomas. Fun fact: way back in 2021, when they were casting the first reading of the show, my agent at the time submitted me for Mel--the character was initially conceived as a cis woman on the breakdown--but I had already gotten a callback for Jessica from my self-submission, and I had a gut feeling that there was somebody better out there for Mel. I couldn't have been more right--after Imani was cast, it was largely thanks to their creativity, insight and influence that Mel evolved into the distinctive non-binary icon (non-bicon?) we know and love today.
Remy: 18+ to play 16, he/she/they, mid to high tenor, autistic. Into cosplay, makes a How-To costume and makeup tutorial videos online. Currently: played by Desmond Luis Edwards, and understudied by Jean Christian Barry, Ayanna Nicole Thomas, and Hunter Hollingsworth. Fun fact: Dez's involvement in HTDIO is the ultimate "Cinderella story." In 2021, Jacob Yandura was running a summer camp in Florida, and Dez was a student there; upon finding out Dez was autistic, Jacob said, "hey, I think you'd be a good fit for this musical I'm writing." The first time I heard Dez sing at the rehearsals for the reading, I was like, "you're SEVENTEEN?! I quit." How many actors out there go from their third high school musical DIRECTLY to Broadway? Another fun fact: Dez created all the cosplay designs we used onstage in the Syracuse production. Check out his art account here!
Tommy: 22, he/him, mid to high baritone, autistic. Funny, self-conscious, studying to get his driver’s license. Currently: played by Conor Tague, and understudied by Hunter Hollingsworth, Collin Hancock, and Jean Christian Barry. Fun fact: In real life, Conor does not drive and is staunchly anti-driving.
Ok, I gotta shower and head to the theater for work notes, but I'll happily add more later!

Lista #TBR: Livros sáficos para seu álbum preferido da Taylor Swift - parte 1
Se você sobreviveu a Great War para conseguir os ingressos da loirinha, vale a pena dar uma olhadinha na lista de indicações de hoje:
1. Ela fica com a garota (Rachael Lippincott & Alysson Derrick)
As duas universitárias, Molly & Alex, não poderiam ser mais diferentes, mas acabam cruzando o caminho uma da outra. Molly deseja ser mais sociável e conseguir uma chance com a menina por quem é apaixonada desde o ensino médio, já Alex quer provar que pode ser mais do que um sinônimo de "encrenca".
Nada me tira da cabeça que a Molly é a personificação da música Fearless da Taylor, o tanto em que ela cresce na história sem deixar de ser a menina romântica e gentil que sempre foi.
2. Delilah Green não está nem aí (Ashley Herring Blake)
Delilah Green tem um desprezo gigante pela antiga cidade e jurou nunca mais voltar. No entanto, quando a irmã postiça, Astrid, usa chantagem emocional para forçá-la a fotografar o casamento, Delilah acaba concordando em voltar. Quando ela reencontra Claire Sutherland, uma das amigas de infância de Astrid, Delilah percebe que há algo divertido em Bright Falls.
Com uma pitada de comédia romântica e uma dose de realidade, Delilah Green se encaixa perfeitamente com o álbum Speak Now, em especial com a música fresquinha saída do the vault: I can see you.
3. O amor não é óbvio (Elayne Baeta)
Íris está prestes a se formar no 3° ano, ela não liga para o papo dos outros estudantes que parecem fissurados em apenas duas coisas: festa de formatura e perder a virgindade. A vida dela dá um pulo quando descobre que a paixão platônica dela, Cadu, acabou de ficar solteiro. Porém, Íris tem uma incógnita gigante na cabeça: o que levou a ex-namorada de Cadu a deixá-lo? Então, Íris vai cruzar Sãao Patrique para descobrir tudo sobre Édra Norr , a garota com quem a ex de Cadu estava ficando, e não vai demorar para cair nos encantos dela.
O livro é marcado por uma grande autodescoberta vindo da Íris, que até então vivia em um mundo heteronormativo, ela nem sequer tinha cogitado em estar com uma menina. As músicas do álbum Red são sobre amor e auto descoberta, essa jornada da protagonista me faz pensar perfeitamente em diversas músicas desse álbum.
4. As vantagens de ser você (Ray Tavares)
Ana está no auge dos 24 anos e sem um propósito na vida. Presa em um emprego que detesta, morando com os pais e perdendo as esperanças de ter uma vida romântica, ela se vê comprando o livro "Você só será f*da quando se sentir f*da" do coach-guia-guru Tony Diniz. E tudo na vida de Ana muda quando Bárbara, a crush perfeita e bem sucedida, revela que está organizando um retiro do coach no Jalapão.
O que 1989 tem a ver com essa história? É um álbum que fala sobre viver a vida ao máximo, tem músicas de romance e casa tanto com as questões existencialistas que a Ana levanta, afinal tudo que ela precisava era um empurrãozinho pra viver ao máximo.
5. Sua Alteza Real (Rachel Hawkins)
Millie Quint está de coração partido, a amiga-namorada estava beijando outra pessoa. Não querendo que a vida seja marcada por isso, Millie leva adiante o sonho de estudar na Escócia, apenas para ter um outro grande problema: a mimada colega de quarto, Flora.
Realeza? Temos!
Rivals to Lovers? Temos!
Dois corações partidos se encontrando? Temos!
Esse clichê é perfeito pros fãs de Reputation. Delicate está aqui para dizer que esse relacionamento começa delicado, mas que ele termina com Call it what you want.
6. A jogada do Amor (Kelly Quindlen)
Esse fofissimo rivals to lovers tem como plot principal um amor de alguel entre Scottie Zajac, uma jogadora de basquete que precisa fazer ciúmes na ex-namorada, e Irene Abraham, capitã das líderes de torcida, que precisa de dinheiro para consertar o carro depois de colidir com o carro de Scottie. Nasce assim um lindo acordo: Scottie paga o conserto de carro se Irene fingir ser sua namorada até o fim do campeonato.
O álbum lover é repleto de músicas sobre amor, aceitação e amizade, mas a música que mais me chamou a atenção e combina com esse romance é a sétima faixa do álbum, Mrs Americana & The Heartbreak Prince.

Just finished Rasio Silence for the second time, I'm literally crying!😭😍😭 Do you have any good book suggestions? I am 13 years old, love to read, bisexual, a girl and my favorite book is probably Radio Silence. 🏳️🌈❤️
First of all you have great taste in books if you love radio silence😌 first obviously Alice Oseman’s other works! And then get ready because I have quite a few recommendations hehehe (I always hoped this day would come)
- The Sky Blues (by Robbie Couch): I read this a while ago so I don’t remember the intrigue in detail but it’s very sweet and the main character is gay
- If you could be mine (by Sara Farizan): this one is wlw with a pretty sad ending but the story is beautiful, set in Iran, best friends to lovers who are trying to find a way to be together
- Tell me again how a crush should feel (by Sara Farizan): also wlw and the main character is Iranian American, I don’t remember that much of the plot cause I read it quite a while ago but I remember it was fun!
- Criers’s war (by Nina Varela)/Iron Heart (by Nina Varela): beautiful fantasy duology with wlw ennemies to lovers! I’m absolutely in love with these books and they’re criminally underrated
- The passing playbook (by Isaac Fitzsimons): trans gay main character who just wants to play on the boy’s soccer team of his new school (this one is so sweet)
- Cemetery boys (by Aiden Thomas): also trans gay main character but this one is fantasy and also Hispanic Americans
- Her royal highness (by Rachel Hawkins): boarding school, royalty, ennemies to lovers, but make it sapphic
- She gets the girl (by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick): this is also a sapphic ennemies to lovers, where one of the main characters has to help the other (who is extremely shy) flirt with her crush to prove to her ex that she can help other people
- If this gets out (by Sophie Gonzales and Cale Dietrich): this one is mlm and has one of the best depictions of internal struggle to discover your queer identity, also bonus points for talking about fan culture and music industry
- I kissed Shara Wheeler (by Casey McQuiston): I haven’t actually read this one yet but I checked and it’s appropriate for your age and my best friend just read it and loved it so it’s on my tbr
There you go! I hope you find something you enjoy reading, and if you like any of those books let me know!

A band of soldiers is dispatched to war games deep in the woods. When they stumble across a rival team slaughtered in camp, they realize they’re not alone. Credits: TheMovieDb. Film Cast: Sgt.

This is great. Werewolf,drama, comedy, etc. CinemaSerf: I will admit to being somewhat sceptical when I sat down to watch this, but within about twenty minutes the auditorium was chuckling to the witty banter of Sean Pertwee and his squad of soldiers who find themselves stuck on an exercise in a remote Scottish forest when they’d sooner be in the wardroom sinking a few beers while watching Germany beat England at football. When their fireside banter is ruined by a missile shaped like a dead cow; things start to liven up and what ensues is a race against time for their very survival – there are more dangerous creatures in the forest than red squirrels! Kevin McKidd keeps the troop focussed at they face their foes with grim determination and their black humour prevails pretty much throughout their ordeal. The special effects are a little bit “Dr. Who” but Neil Marshall ensures the lighting and sound folks do their level best to keep the suspense going for a long as possible and at no stage does it hang about: it’s end to end action with a tinge – a soupçon – of horror as the story builds to an enjoyable denouement! On the big screen again now in late 2020 – not sure why – but if you get chance, and you like your horror unsophisticated and funny, then this is definitely for you.
