Clown Emilie AU

A non-superhero AU where:

 Emilie is alive and well, but instead of an actor, Emilie is a clown, that’s why she makes Adrien laugh.

Emilie’s clown name is Trixy, and she works on a live circus TV show.

The show has everything a normal circus would have, save for live animals. Instead, they use life-size puppets and animatronic creatures. This allows them to get creative, and use things like dragons, dinosaurs, unicorns, etc.

Adrien adores his mother’s work, and even wants to be a clown when he grows up.

Marinette is a huge fan of Trixy, and is utterly starstruck when she finds out she’s Adrien’s mom.

Everyone loves the show, but Chloe, who’s less of a bully and more of a stick-in-the-mud, tends to avoid it and most things related to clowns and humor because she’s worried she might make a fool of herself. Adrien takes it upon himself to get her to lighten up, and soon, the rest of the class joins him in his quest to get Chloe to laugh and smile.

Marinette and Adrien grow to like each other, and a romance blooms as they spend more and more time together. It’s not long before they fall in love.

Below is a rough idea of what Emilie looks like in her work uniform.

[warheroics-blog]

the canon-divergent portrayal of my theseus scamander and how the crimes of grindelwald affects it (more might be added if something pops up):

as the movie gives no indication of theseus’ hogwarts house, i will continue to portray my theseus as a ravenclaw (because i’m not giving up woolmancy and those damn sock puppets you hear me!!!)

and yes, theseus invented a whole new branch of magic called woolmancy and he has an army of wooly knitted creatures and sock puppets, one famously known as mr. fizzles who has a order of merlin

while one of the behind the scenes books states that theseus is 8 years newt’s senior, meaning that he was likely born between february 1888 and february 1889, since the movie does not actually explicitly states theseus’ age, i am going to move it just a year forward to july 1887 so that his first year at hogwarts will coincide with albus dumbledore’s last year, thus theseus and dumbledore knew each other when they were at school

theseus was 9 years old when newt was born

he has a son, noah percival scamander, born in 1918 from a one night stand during the war with ex-girlfriend emily greenwood who had been a nurse, she and theseus share custody of noah

the movie confirms theseus to be a hugger, so yes, theseus will hug lots of people because he is a hugger

while the movie canon has him engaged to leta lestrange, my main verse will not have this engagement and it will be dependent with each leta rper that i interact with - the only time where the engagement with leta is automatic is if we are interacting in my canon verse, then theseus and leta are engaged to be married on june 6, 1928

as shown in the movie, while theseus may not agree with newt’s profession of choice, he loves his younger brother and wants to and loves spending time with him, and while newt has his beasts, theseus has his sock puppets/wooly knitted creatures

theseus loves knitting, it is probably his favorite past time, that’s how his wooly creatures and sock puppets are created, as well as among other things like sweaters or mittens or etc., some of which are perfect weaponized for auror work

theseus is not impulsive by nature and would rather think things through than react without a plan, he does not like using lethal force unless absolutely necessary

theseus shares a close bond with percival graves, whom he met with and fought beside during the war, hence theseus’ son noah’s middle name is named after percival

theseus’ patronus is a salmon

his wand is laurel wood with a unicorn hair core 14 ½" and surprisingly swishy flexibility

he was prefect and head boy during his time at hogwarts, and also the keeper of the ravenclaw quidditch team

theseus served as a medic during the first world war and saved over 200 lives which earned him both the victoria cross from the muggle world and a order of merlin from the wizarding world

his star sign is cancer

theseus’ sexuality is at this point just whoever he has chemistry with, i have never set down a specific sexuality because i like to keep my rp open to anything and anyone

my main fc for theseus will continue to be dan stevens, i will use callum in the canon verse and otherwise as an alternate fc

Rear View Project

Dear Susan,

   For my project I want to do the time I had a week long sleepover with my friend Alexandra. I have some ideas on what I want to do so I’m going to write out everything I have planned right now in terms of how I want to film it and will then condense it for the paperwork due on Thursday for Zach’s class...

  A young girl (Ray) is seen outside a house with a small suit case. A narrator is heard over different shots of her, her eyes hands feet etc., the narrator is her and is explaining who she is and where she is going. The voice then informs of a sister who is accompanying. We then see a slightly shorter girl (Em) next to Ray. There is explanation that the mother forced Ray to bring her sister. Camera follows the two girls as they go down two or three houses and arrive at their destination. A wide shot of the house is shown as the girls are let in. Narration is played over individual shots of the four sisters explaining who they are and a little fact about them all with different bright colors behind them. Alexandra is Ray's best friend and the reason she is here. Tina is the cool older sister who dances. Jen is the middle with Alexandra and spends most of her time with Demi. Demi is the youngest, not too far off from Jen and she spends most of her time with Jen. Cut to all the kids together in the basement sitting in a circle, Jen beside Demi. Narration explains that on the first day they didn't really do much except talk about what to do. A voice (Mother) is heard but it sounds like it is coming from a walkie talkie. Cut to a walkie as it finishes saying that pizza is here for the children. Shot of kid's feet running upstairs, then multiple shots of kids eating in symmetrical close ups (Taking a piece, taking a bite, picking up cup, taking a sip, putting down drink, maybe one kid after another like Ray takes a piece, Em takes a piece, etc. In order of things. Maybe) Cut to kids back in basement filling air mattresses. Quick shots of them getting everything set up but a bit of a long shot as they wait for it to fill up (Only one). Then the kids making a mountain of the mattresses. Very quick jump cuts of each mattress being added as the narrator says "Freshly full of sugar and energy we fill up air mattresses (Pause) and put them all on top of each other with blankets over it. Multiple shots (Or sped up footage) of the kids trying to climb it. Cut to everyone in a sleeping bag on an air mattress and the lights go out. There is a nightlight seen so the camera isn't just black and it stays like that for about 10-15 seconds before someone says "Pudding" and everybody starts laughing. 

Narrator then talks for a while describing other things they did through the week and there are multiple quick shots to showcase what the narrator is saying. Everything will be done in a Wes Anderson type style with bright colors popping out for each character.

 Ray- Purple Em- Green Alex-Blue Tina- Red Demi-Yellow Jen- Orange

 The other things the Narrator will be describing is Biking down to a convenience store to buy a tub of ice cream and eating it all when we got home. Shot of kids biking (All centered) shot of the door opening of the convenience store, a shot panning around the counter seeing the clerk watch the kids with noises of them opening a freezer then a hard cut breaking the 180 rule to Ray holding a tub of chocolate ice cream and all the kids evenly behind her, Ray is center, she then put the tub on the counter. Cut back to the clerk looking at all the kids then he picks up the tub, scans it, and asks for $7. Cut back to the kids Biking again only this time Ray has a tub of Ice cream under her arm. Cut to a bird's eye view of the tub being placed on the table in the basement and 6 hands going in with spoons to eat it. One shot of a kid's mouth eating the ice cream. 

The narrator will then talk about how on another day we listened to Nickle Back and danced. 

Another day Emily Left. 

Narrator will talk about how there was a red blow up crayon but "we aren't going to get into that" The camera will pan right to left in a dark room reveling Demi holding a red blow up crayon under an intense spot light, stopping when she is centered. 

 One day we didn't do anything but watch YouTube videos and play board games (Insert found footage of LLama's with hats, Charlie the Unicorn, asdf movies etc.) and also the kids in the basement (Pan). Kids playing a board game from a bird's eyes view.

 Another day Alexandra and Ray are alone and watch Happy Tree Friends and want to make their own thing like that. Shot of both girls from a camera placed over a computer looking at the screen, sounds from happy tree friends is played and the children react as expected. Multiple quick shots of the two girls finding brown paper bags and drawing on them then hanging a sheet on the wall behind the couch and taping a piece of paper to the top saying "Happy Branch Friends" and setting up a camera on books. Cut to what that camera can see for a quick shot of a take in of breath and one of the puppets mouth opening. The narrator will then explain how we were so embarrassed soon after that we deleted it all. (Shot of both girls huddled around the camera "deleting" the footage. 

On the last day we went out on our bikes again but Alex fell off of hers so we stopped. Shot of all the kids biking again then closer shot of Ray so Alex isn't in frame. Ray eventually looks back to see the other kids around Alex who is holding her face as "blood" drips between her fingers. And thus, ending the week-long sleepover. Quick shots of Ray packing her clothes in the suit case, repeat shots from the beginning except now inside and final shot of Ray exiting the door from inside, with the door centered.

All Or Nothing – LtoR Stefan Edwards, Stanton Wright, Chris Simmons, Carol Harrison, Samuel Pope, Alexander Gold. Credit Phil Weedon

Full casting is announced for the West End season of the critically acclaimed ALL OR NOTHING – THE MOD MUSICAL, based on the story of the Small Faces. Joining the previously announced Carol Harrison as Kay Marriott and Chris Simmons as Steve Marriott, will be Samuel Pope as Young Steve Marriott, Stefan Edwards as Kenney Jones, Stanton Wright as Ronnie Lane, Alexander Gold as Ian McLagan, Edward Elgood as Jimmy Winston, Karis Anderson as P.P. Arnold and Russell Floyd as Don Arden. Also in the cast are Daniel Beales, Alfie Harrison-Foreman, Dani Acors and Emily Daniels. David Shute and Danielle Johnson will play Steve Marriott and Kay Marriott at certain performances. ALL OR NOTHING’s limited season will run at the Arts Theatre, London from 6 February to 11 March, with a press night on Thursday 8 February.

Written and directed by the award-winning actress Carol Harrison, ALL OR NOTHING is the story of four charismatic young kids from East London with humour, attitude, passion and, above all, talent. They became the Small Faces and were rocketed into the big time, only to discover the path to success is paved with exploitation, betrayal and, ultimately, tragedy.

In 1965, a new phenomenon erupted out of London’s East End. It was the essence of all that was cool. It was Mod. ALL OR NOTHING follows the rise and demise of the Small Faces, the band who encapsulated all that was Mod – a unique blend of taste and testosterone, clothes-obsessed and street-wise – but most of all, a dedication to rhythm ‘n’ blues. The musical celebrates the unique sound of this iconic Mod band, with all the Small Faces’ hits, including Whatcha Gonna Do About It, Tin Soldier, Lazy Sunday, Here Comes the Nice, Itchycoo Park and, of course, All or Nothing.

Carol Harrison is probably best known for her role as Louise Raymond in EastEnders. Other television roles include seven years as Gloria in Brushstrokes, Loretta opposite Ray Winstone in Get Back, and Dorothy in two series of London’s Burning. Carol’s theatre work includes Michael Rudman’s production of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman at the National, Ripen Our Darkness at the Royal Court, Alan Parker’s production of Alfie at the Liverpool Playhouse and Lee Hall’s Cooking with Elvis at the Lyceum Theatre, Crewe. She was also a founder member of Half Moon Theatre in London’s East End. Her film credits include The Elephant Man, Quadrophenia and Human Traffic.

Chris Simmons is probably best known for playing the role of DC Mickey Webb for over twelve years in the long running ITV series The Bill. He has also appeared in EastEnders as Mark Garland and in the Tracy Beaker spin-off CBBC show, The Dumping Ground. Chris’s theatre credits include Alan Ayckbourn’s Absent Friends (Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage), Entertaining Strangers (Lyric Hammersmith), Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (tour), Iago in Othello (tour) and Epicoene (Tristan Bates Theatre).

Samuel Pope is making his West End debut. He trained at the University of Manchester and the Royal Academy of Music and has since played Bob Cratchit in the UK tour of A Christmas Carol and Lon Smith in Meet Me in St Louis at the Landor Theatre.

Stefan Edwards previously appeared in the Arts Theatre in American Justice and was in The Mousetrap at St Martin’s Theatre in London’s West End. He was part of the London 2012 Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies directed by Danny Boyle and Kim Gavin.

Stanton Wright’s theatre credits include Take Me Here by the Dishwasher at the Barbican, actor/puppeteer in This Moose Belongs to Me and Jackie and the Baboon (Unicorn and Orange Tree Theatres), Florence in Florence Loves You for Theatre503, Devil in The Glorious Damnation of Eddie Small (Union Theatre/Bedlam Theatre) and Renaissance Body (RSC/British Museum).

Alexander Gold began his career marketing for former Radio 1 DJ Gary Davies and then joined the publishers of The Word and Mixmag. At the same time, he performed all over the world with acts as diverse as 1977 punk legends the Boys (Joey Ramone’s favourite band) to the United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra, with whom he spent a month at Dollywood, as a guest of Dolly Parton. He played Clash drummer Topper Headon opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers’s Joe Strummer in the film London Town.

Edward Elgood last appeared at the Arts Theatre in Richard III. His other theatre credits include King Charles III (Wyndham’s), the UK tour of The Mousetrap (No.1 Tour); Mucedorus (Sam Wanamaker Playhouse), The Maids (The Cockpit) and The Lady of Pleasure (Shakespeare’s Globe – Sam Wanamaker Festival).

Karis Anderson is a member of girl band, Stooshe. They broke on to the UK music scene in 2012 with the release of their single Love Me, featuring American rapper Travie McCoy. They have gone on to have four Top 20 hits, were nominated for the BBC Sound Poll, and toured with J-Lo and Nicki Minaj. Their single Black Heart spent over 16 weeks in the UK charts and was nominated for Best British Single at the 2013 Brit Awards. All or Nothing marks Karis’s West End stage debut.

Russell Floyd will be known to many for his regular roles as Michael Rose in EastEnders and DC Ken Drummond in The Bill. His theatre credits include Sir Courtly Nice (RSC), Going to a Party (National Theatre), Fit and Proper People (Soho Theatre) and Forget Me Not (Bush Theatre).

The show is endorsed and supported by many of those who feature in its story, including singer P.P. Arnold and Steve Marriott’s daughter, Mollie Marriott, who is the show’s vocal coach and creative consultant.

ALL OR NOTHING – THE MOD MUSICAL is directed by Carol Harrison, with musical supervision by Pat Davey. ALL OR NOTHING – THE MOD MUSICAL is produced in the West End by Rock ‘n’ Roll Productions.

A 29-track cast recording, as well as a limited edition 15-track blue vinyl LP, is available now from the show website, http://ift.tt/2y8U8ex, and will also be available from the Arts Theatre during the show’s run.

(clown emilie) Say Emi, your circus has clowns and puppeteers, but what else does it have?

Emilie: Well, aside from me and my fellow clowns, we have a couple of daring young men on the flying trapeze, two brothers if I recall correctly. We also have Mort the Mighty, the Strong Man. He can lift a motorcycle like it was nothing. We also have Juliet. She’s the leader of our fire dancers and torch jugglers. The sheer amazement in the audience as they perform. But the real grabber has got to be our amazing puppets. We have puppet lions, gorillas, elephants, tigers, all so life-like, you’d swear they were real, and because we have puppets, we can really get crazy, using life-sized dinosaurs, and some mythical creatures too, like unicorns or dragons. The dragon puppet is our largest one.”
