y'know, i've heard a lot about s6e10, but Nothing could've prepared me for the sheer amount of Gay infused into every moment of it??? like.
house getting defensive over wilson's friendship with tucker ("he doesn't even know your name! he calls you jim!" <- says the man who only ever calls him wilson or jimmy). house being open/mature with wilson about his feelings regarding cuddy+lucas.
the iconic, insane: "if you die, i'm alone." (fig. 1)
house sitting by wilson's bed throughout the entirety of his surgery recovery montage. wilson realizing that house was right about tucker and "actually, it's james."
them moving into a loft together (bought from wilson's second ex-wife, who, while married to him, felt that he was always there for house and never for her), specifically the loft that cuddy wanted to move into with lucas (because wilson was mad that she hurt house's feelings) ????????? THEY REALLY DON'T MAKE QUEERBAIT LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

★in my au, edward is a japanese and filipino mix, and can speak fluent tagalog. when they got together, and their relationship became more serious, james started learning tagalog for him
★they have a movie night, and watch movies together, each taking turns to pick something
★absolute dumbass and loves the dumbass dynamic

★james absolutely adores edward's mismatched eyes
★they're both huge cuddlers. being tangled around eachother while they sleep is a must. edward will wake up with james piled on top of him

james's common nicknames for ed: eddie, ed, eddie bear, old iron, love, lovely, darling, sweetheart, hun/honey. does that thing that fuses other words with edward's name [ex: eggward, bedward, shedward, especially if he's for example holding an egg, or laying in bed] to tease him
★if one is going through distress [ex: anxiety, fear, pain, sadness], they will seek out the other for comfort
★edward has the worst sleeping troubles of the two [insomnia, nightmares, occasionally night terrors] and james does try his best to help him either fall asleep, or calm down after he's woken up from his nightmare
★if they need to vent, they'll sit in the comfort of their bed with water, tissues, and some comfort snacks, and they'll support eachother in the way they need

Ok…so um 😐
First things first, I would like to say that I really enjoy your artwork and also your mouthwashing OC lore is awesome 🤩
Secondly, I have some questions about your Mouthwashing lore, if you don’t mind. (if you want to, you don’t have to answer all of the questions, No pressure 😌)
Does your mouthwashing OC (Sorry I forgot your oc’s name 😔) die, and if so how does she die?
Does Jimmy feel guilt or regret about her death? (If she dies)
(If she dies) Was she the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th to die?
(Before the crash happened) Could you specify on how jimmy reacted to seeing his ex (your oc) again on the ship
Did anyone on the ship (Besides curly) knew that Jimmy and your oc used to date and if so how did they react to it
Sorry for the multiple questions, like I said before you don’t have to answer all of them if you don’t want to.
AAAHHH Thank you!! I’m so glad you like it 🥺🥺😭😭💕💕💕!!
In regards to your questions…
1. Spoiler (her name is Sammy hehe)
2. Spoiler
3. Spoiler
(Sorry, I’m writing a fan fiction and I’d rather keep the suspense on those hehe ><)
4. He knew beforehand she’d be there. Curly and him had been plotting a way for them to get back together for months, Jim had been going to the gym with Curly, and “cleaning up his act” for her. So when the day finally came, Curly requested for the 3 of them to be put in a haul together. Jim was calm and trying to give her space at first, y’know? Trying to let her get accustomed to the situation… But when she was just starting to let her guard down and he tried making the first move, she became defensive again, and he started to get frustrated :’)
5. No, none of them knew beforehand. Sammy tells Anya during her first psych eval, two months after the haul starts, and Daisuke and Swansea learn about it eventually. But Swansea kinda suspected it, from the way Jim and her would interact with each other, they seemed like a divorced couple to him 😅
And NOOO Don’t be sorry!! I love getting questions about Sammy and my AU, it makes me happy ;u; THANK YOU 💖💖💖!!

(picrew is makowka's, moodboard by @neonshrike, faceclaim is Ben Whishaw in The Hour)
Full Name: James Aaron Luciano Pronouns: he/him (cis gay man)
Nicknames: Jimmy (usual nickname), Jim (other nickname), Lucy (as a joke) Pet Names: ???
Relevant Tags: #jimmy luciano
Birthday: July 6th, 1882 Died: August 9th, 1915
Age in Chapter One: physically 33, technically 142
Universe/Fandom: Ghostbusters, specifically Frozen Empire
Physical Traits: 5'9", very thin build. Has an angular clean-shaven face, deep-set blue eyes, a dimpled smile, and slightly-mussed black hair. Speaks with a thick Brooklyn accent. As a ghost, he is always wearing a blue sports coat over a patterned wool vest and a white dress shirt. He wears a maroon tie, loosened, and an old-fashioned brass wristwatch on his right wrist. A gunshot wound in his chest perpetually pours blood and stains the front of his clothing, though it doesn't spread or stain outside objects. Rather than being blue-tinted and intangible like other human ghosts, he appears almost completely corporeal most of the time.
Character Traits: Lighthearted, friendly, flirty, bit of a jokester, genuinely loves humanity (despite it being the reason for his death, and why he had to be careful to remain closeted), eager to complete his unfinished business.
Relationships: -Family: ??? -Friends: Phoebe, Podcast, Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, Lucky, other Ghostbusters characters -Romantic Partner: Lars Pinfield (eventually)
Additional Information: - Uses the alibi that he was shot by a jealous ex-lover; really, he was shot by bigots for being gay - Appears completely human save for the wound in his chest - Can interact with people and objects, though it takes effort and is a result of years of practice - This practice is also why he is more tangible/not blue-tinted like the other ghosts, he spent decades recovering his physical form - His unfinished business as a ghost is a kiss (mutual, with heart, not out of obligation), to make up for the one he died before he got - Was a zookeeper at the New York Zoo prior to his death, worked in the aviary - Prior to being taken to the research lab, he would wander Coney Island and flirt with bachelors, sometimes asking them to win him a prize at one of the carnival games - Is semi-immune to Garraka's influence (due to being more corporeal/closer to human), becomes dazed and catatonic rather than violent - For much of his ghosthood, could not feel any physical sensation (though he feels pain when caught by a proton stream) - Is an avid reader, both in his life and after his death

Jimmy, aka Tumble Town's Outlaw (+ rambly character progression analysis and stuffs)
my take on Jimmy's villain arc is that instead of trying to reclaim his role as Sheriff, he should instead become the most feared outlaw the empires have ever seen.
old timey sheriffs often toed the line between justice and crime, and Jimmy has made it clear he's not above some corruption: bribery, stealing, manipulation, shady deals, arson etc. He's not the pillar of justice and upholder of the law he makes himself out to be. Hell he doesn't even follow his own laws sometimes and he let Scar break all of them! So why not turn to crime and vengeance?
recently I read an article about Kid Curry, a notorious outlaw of the Wild West, and I thought hey, what if Jimmy's character went in that direction? (PG-13 of course cmon) He could have a cool nickname like Dynamite Jim or something. Another thing I noticed is that Jimmy doesn't use a gun, saying that he is averse to using that kind of weapon, despite most cowboys carrying some form of firearm on them. He prefers to use a bow and arrow and his lasso. Could it be that he's used a gun before? Anyway I think it would a real turning point in his character arc for him to start using a gun, and ironically name it the Peacemaker (after the colt single action army revolver)
I find the Sheriff turned Outlaw story really compelling given what we know of Jim's character so far. Other people have brought this point up but Jimmy's whole character seems to tie in with themes of isolation and loneliness. Tumble Town doesn't have any villagers or custom citizens anywhere. The saloon is empty and devoid of any beverages. It's just Jimmy and his horses around here. Almost as if Tumble Town is completely deserted.
We don't know anything about Jimmy's life before he became the self-proclaimed Sheriff, but I assume his life before that wasn't a happy one. Why else would he crave respect so desperately, unless he wasn't afforded any before? He hates being seen as powerless and lesser than, as being called a toy is very much a soft spot for him. Him shrinking down in size and having his peers literally and metaphorically look down on him isn't helping either. From the beginning, Jimmy was never one to be taken seriously, as he was a goofy, good-natured man who kind of bumbled into being a Sheriff.
He demanded respect by imposing his laws upon every empire, despite not really having any right to do so other than being "The Sheriff". He is the leader of Tumble Town, not the whole 12 empires after all. Jim didn't really do much to show that he deserved the kind of authoritative respect he wanted from everyone, but the other rulers still liked having him around. People he considered allies such as Gem, Sausage and FWhip treated him nicely for a time, but either tolerated his Sheriff playacting and/or made fun of him by playing into the whole Toy Story bit. They were his "friends" but didn't give him respect as Sheriff and as a person.
For the majority of empires Jimmy has been treated as lesser than, as someone who isn't even human. He wasn't given basic respect asa a person. Joel outright mocked Jimmy by calling him a toy to his face, and every single person who has interacted with Jimmy has engaged in the toy bit. Hell, his own deputies, FWhip AND Scar, didn't treat him like an equal.
FWhip became deputy for his own gain and wore the toy story alien uniform to subtly make fun of Jimmy without him knowing. He did get attached to Jimmy though and took it extremely personally when he got fired for disrespecting Jimmy, getting back at him by stealing the hat and badges. I do think c!FWhip took it too far and is basically an embittered ex.
Scar on the other hand, was extremely nice to Jimmy and literally built him an entire train and a bunch of buildings as well as setting up villager trading posts for him. It's a really kind and generous thing to do for Jimmy, but despite that he still doesn't respect him in the way Jim wants him to. He gave Jim a whole pep talk about how "being Woody is a good thing" which, while being very sweet and encouraging, also unconsciously reinforces the fact that Scar DOES see Jimmy as a toy just like the rest of Empires. And when Scar was imprisoned by Jimmy for like 10 seconds, he threatened to call Jimmy a toy to get himself out of jail.
Alright fast forward to present time. Jimmy meets the Old/Past Sheriff and learns more about being a real sheriff. He learns how to get people to respect him more and is really excited to have a mentor figure, especially someone who used to be a real Sheriff running a town. Excitedly, he calls his friends over to the great bridge, riding atop a horse, to share about the cool thing that happened to him. Notice Gem, Sausage and FWhip are all wearing the Dawn Sunglasses, and Jimmy isn't, which creates this feeling that Jimmy is an "other" and not part of the in group. Instead of listening and congratulating him, all three of them crouch and poke fun at him for being small. Jimmy is all too aware of how everybody is treating him. He promises to be a better man, a better Sheriff they can all be proud of. And so he begs them, "so do you guys finally respect me now?"
Do you see me for who I am?
Will you finally see me as your equal?
Your friend?
And he is shot dead.
They've made their point loud and clear, and Jimmy has had enough. No more playing games. If they refuse to respect him, he will make them fear.

A guide to my OCs!
hey guys, figured i’d make this post because i have a shit ton of OCs that i post a lot of and i haven’t really explained most of them. they’re all part of different stories/universes, so i’ll be listing them based off of that.
Rex Sucks at Bass
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/fbb1e660c7905f57f3ab9eb8939cf554/1a2d43a65fe2ffb6-d9/s540x810/322c33e230f6eb46d69167a90489d6b32cff5a46.jpg)
Rex Sucks at Bass, or RSAB, is my webcomic. as of making this post, i’ve posted the entire first chapter! i’ve been planning this comic since late 2021 and i’m holding myself accountable to finish it no matter what. it’s a supernatural/coming of age story that takes place in 2009 about young adult named Rex who has to deal with relationship issues, worries about his future, sexuality crises, and of course, the impending apocalypse. also all the characters are anthro animals but that’s mostly because they’re easier to draw than people. some prominent characters from RSAB are Rex Xavier, Frederick Zhansky, Henri Bal, Sylvia Rose, Alex “Cowboy” Lorenzo, Lola Ramon, Scott “Spott” Simmons, and Marvin Xavier.
We’re Just Young
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/91949030777940c45dca03a921408bc8/1a2d43a65fe2ffb6-5f/s540x810/3424e78525bc44a830c66c689c7d9d343b2e9690.jpg)
We’re Just Young is a fake sitcom about teenagers making bad decisions and friendship. it has a bunch of storylines i’ve planned out, but i mostly just draw the characters out of context. its main character is Gilbert Quarters, who is a gay bass player just like every single other character i’ve ever created. its main story takes place in 1997-98, during the characters senior year of high school. there’s also a “spin-off” to We’re Just Young, which follows Gilbert and a few others in college as they form a band called The Halloween Goats and gain some mainstream success as both musicians and ghost hunters. some prominent characters in We’re Just Young are Gilbert Quarters, Gerry Dawson, Marzy Lee, and Jackson Jefferson. some more prominent characters in the spin-off are Raymond Emerson, Wallace Waxman, Leo Hall, Jimmy Nickel, and Sebastian Ingalz.
Untitled Space Story
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ea517f68986b044499526e95e12dd544/1a2d43a65fe2ffb6-22/s540x810/7e592f297155aafc2517e77a71bfb4a3c65817ad.jpg)
when i was 13 i read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and thought “I need to write my own sci-fi story” and then this past summer i got really into Star Wars and ELO and decided to revamp the whole thing. Untitled Space Story follows the adventures of a small crew assembled by infamous space pilot Sonya Blasmo, who is essentially the butch lesbian version of a cross between Zaphod Beeblebrox and Han Solo. she was “retired” because she accidentally turned her wife into a robot but nobody knows that! all they know is that she’s taking to the skies again! the other characters in Untitled Space Story are Alexis “AL3X15” Goldberg, Mindinoma Lycentine, Mariella Young, Sheldon Spinelli, and Casper “Capers” McFarlin.
Heartstake Heartbreak
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9bc72b4ef22024329fa70b0732252a67/1a2d43a65fe2ffb6-ba/s540x810/4be4703620a66ffd6dfd0d4c2da7da839c57fc4c.jpg)
a really shitty, simple love triangle story about lesbians at some sort of shitty boarding school in the mid-2000s. the only three characters are Maxine “Max” Dallas, Phoebe Jean Weathers, and Francesca “Frankie” Knight. i created this one like a week ago.
Friends of Daisy Harrisson
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/17c9434f13a08f92900aeed5950f7173/1a2d43a65fe2ffb6-e3/s540x810/0f38b22407b075f1a3e886c9974b6713aaa03348.jpg)
Friends of Daisy Harrisson is a musical i wrote, and i don’t draw the characters too often, but i figured i’d still put it on this list. it’s got a really vague story, essentially Daisy goes missing and her wife (Freyja Windsnap), ex-husband (Jim Hartley), and childhood best friend (Barneston Williams) are all brought together through her disappearance.
i have a few other miscellaneous OCs that i draw on occasion, but those are all the main ones! thanks for bearing with me on this long post. if you’re curious about these guys/their stories, feel free to check out their tags! i’ve posted a lot of other character/story info outside of this post. also feel free to send me asks about them like please send me asks about my OCs that is my dream.
fun fact: Rex Sucks at Bass, We’re Just Young, Friends of Daisy Harrisson, and Max Dallas is Not a Lesbian all take place in the same town! mostly because i do not want to create another town. the only reason Untitled Space Story does not take place in that town is because it takes place in space.
#long post#my ocs#rex sucks at bass#we’re just young#untitled space story#friends of daisy harrisson#making this post made me realize i have so much art of my ocs that i never posted#i need to stop creating universes#heartstake heartbreak#i need to update this post a little

A Year in Review : Jamie's 2023
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bcef6db9fd4339e4e6e91e5ec2cdf5c8/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-bf/s540x810/ef0041cccc474b221e7e190ee2bcb47cb94be4db.jpg)
Welcome to our look back on Jamie’s 2023! It’s been a tough year for the entertainment industry in general, with the SAG-AFTRA strike taking place from July all the way through to November, and we know that this impacted Jamie as he chose to take a stand along with many of his other acting peers. Yet despite this, Jamie has accomplished a lot in this year & it’s time to look back at some of the highlights!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/28902c14a2e290078583bef95610f635/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-7d/s540x810/07824822f82795a2239efd1619f06b14292fd5e1.jpg)
February saw the release of Beyond Paradise on BBC1. Jamie played Archie Hughes, an ex flame of Martha’s who joined forces with her in getting her new business in Shipton Abbott up and running. Unfortunately for Archie, Martha had moved back to Shipton Abbott with her fiance, Humphrey and the two didn’t quite see eye to eye. This was such a fun role for Jamie and a complete joy to watch.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d7d52c0884acd748b450775a29373b9b/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-26/s540x810/58671b47a79c1fc5f14fd524cc950e4b290eda49.jpg)
April was an exciting month which saw Jamie celebrating his 50th birthday and as always we marked the occasion with a birthday video which many of you took part in! He also travelled over to Cannes to premiere Cannes Confidential at the 6th Canneseries Festival alongside co-stars Lucie Lucas and Tamara Marthe.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/707946640c6eed71c0c36ca5c317126e/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-b0/s540x810/6f50d4f7d609d66be057780c07079adb6d6ad376.jpg)
May saw Jamie treading the boards once again in Uncle Glen’s Menagerie at the Arcola Theatre which we were lucky enough to go and watch. Such an incredible evening of ad-lib comedy and superb acting from an incredible group of actors and comedians. As ever we want to thank Jamie for his time that he spent chatting with us before and after the show too.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/783720dcce14953a4748008fa0b181f9/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-82/s540x810/4ce25a993cb760b25ce67e1b8a680512a9eea2df.jpg)
In June finally came the UK release of Cannes Confidential on Acorn TV and we LOVED Harry King from the moment we met him. Such a fun, easy watching show and such a complex character in which Jamie got to show off all sides of his talent, from comedy through to some really beautiful emotional moments, especially in scenes with his on-screen daughter Emilie who was played by his real life daughter Ava in a brilliant debut performance. June also saw the release of Trader over in Russia - a project which Jamie filmed alongside his amazing wife Kerry all the way back in 2019! And of course, we cannot forget the epic BSG reunion which took place when Jamie headed over to Phoenix Fan Fusion. #SoSayWeAll
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e34d11d004023a883bd8703d9572cd96/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-96/s540x810/a38e7e903aa7e43dc35e2e1609d18ccd6c03223b.jpg)
July brought some incredible news as Jamie announced that he was taking part in Kenny Logan’s RWC Challenge - an epic 700 mile cycle & walking challenge from Edinburgh to Paris, all to raise money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. Throughout July all the way through to October when the challenge took place, Jamie was training hard to ensure that he was ready for the mammoth challenge ahead.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8d434b3299ab6b95fbae4ccd8634f64e/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-6d/s540x810/090274d4ea17c173a29120c7f412c743ac150293.jpg)
August saw the release of Who Is Erin Carter? on Netflix - a twisty, fast paced thriller from the mind of Strike Back writer, Jack Lothian. Jamie played DI Jim Armstrong, a mysterious figure from Erin’s past. Though he was only in two episodes. We LOVED this character and with the series being left open ended, we really hope we get to see more of Jim in the future.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/00c6263323bcada9eb5b4b73ad207380/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-91/s540x810/afb7bf81680440d1ac08ff102337a48c23330cec.jpg)
In September, Jamie attended the National Television Awards alongside his Beyond Paradise cast mates as the show was nominated for Best New Drama (which sadly it didn’t win).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/855d7efa29121189f65441ae474db1cd/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-b3/s540x810/8d65386b9dccc42e940994647081625a74b3c7d4.jpg)
And onto October which was such an important month for Jamie as all the training paid off when he & so many other incredible people including Kenny & Gabby Logan, Ally McCoist, Jason Fox and Jimmy Nesbitt started their gruelling trek on bike and foot from Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh to the Stade de France in Paris. This challenge was hugely life changing for the whole team (as well as a whole lot of fun!) and they smashed their target of raising £555,555 between them for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. We were honoured to be able to cheer them all on for a small part of this journey when we saw them off in York on day 3 and welcomed them back as they ended the day at the beautiful Belvoir Castle. To top off an incredible achievement, Jamie was also asked to become an ambassador for the foundation - a role we know that he will embody so well.
October also saw Jamie joining Cameo, giving fans the opportunity to get a personalised video message from him (which we of course took advantage of also!) and to round off the month, Cannes Confidential aired on French TV, renamed Cannes Police Criminalle, with the entire show having been dubbed into French by the original cast.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6302ddfb4a8c13eb897d738dc4d6bc9d/885b91d8e5aa2cfd-4d/s540x810/6c40b29b25113d3b9e36a418a7e56b1c945a0d15.jpg)
November saw Jamie as a guest on fellow RWC Challenge team mate Archie Curzon’s podcast, The Rig Biz Pod, which was a brilliantly funny interview.

And to round the year off, December gave us announcements of not one but two new projects to look forward to in 2024! Firstly, Heavyweight, starring and produced by Jamie’s Marcella co-star Nicholas Pinnock, will be a gritty London drama focusing on the mental state of a boxer and his cornermen backstage before the fight as the clock ticks down.
With the strike finally over, Jamie travelled to Bulgaria to film Strangers alongside Sienna Guillory, Emmett J Scanlan and Jon Voight. The project is described as an action thriller and will be released in 2024 on Paramount Plus.
As well as these two exciting announcements, AKA Blackbird, the brainchild of BSG alumni James Callis was finally released as an audiobook! With so many former BSG stars taking part in it, including Jamie and Kerry, it’s definitely not one to be missed.
And there you have it! Despite some difficult times, Jamie really did achieve a lot this year and with 2 projects already to look forward to, we can’t wait to see what else 2024 has in store.
As ever, we would like to thank you for all the support of our page over this past year and wish you all a very happy new year!
Jemma and Sophie. xx

CINDERELLA - ALBAN ARENA, ST ALBANS
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/af5124b707156be28cc55e5b36a2eb51/ffd37af83e38a62a-0d/s540x810/2ceb9a34d073f9afddf2f18052d5294593e8ac78.jpg)
Beating the cold January blues, and keeping the Christmas spirit alive, the Alban Arena continue the festive fun with their Evolution Productions Pantomime until January 12th! Seeing 'Cinderella', written by ex-Wheel Of Fortune Presenter, Paul Hendy, in the first month of 2025, rather than the last of 2024, had the benefits of a quieter audiance with more space and earlier show times that would actually be preferable to many.
With excellent stage designs, effects and live band, the show was full of fun and inclusive jokes for all; perfectly mixing traditional gags with some brilliant new ideas, whilst still paying homage to the original artform, along with the bonus of some impressive 'Strictly...' style dance offs; in recognistion to all the show's former professionals who grace this stage on their tours.
Of course, a Panto wouldn't be complete without a well known, famous face on the poster, who wouldn't necessarily be the best person for the role but the household name help fill the seats. In this case, Samantha Womack was billed as the star of 'Eastenders'. Still remembered as Ronnie, it's almost irrelevant that it has been over 7 years since last appearing in the soap. Even more known to my age group as Mandy from BBC 2 sitcom 'Game On', the niece of one of the world's most famous footballers of all time, George Best, was brilliant when I saw her serious acting part in 'Girl On The Train' at Richmond Theatre 6 years ago but despite being signed to Sony and representing the UK in 1991's Eurovision Song Contest, before playing the part of Sandy in Greace in the West End 2 years later, it's suprising she didn't show off any singing ability or slapstick stylings.
Possibly needing a straight man amongst the constant comedy, an equally wooden performance from Union J (The X Factor) band member and 'I'm A Celebrity...' runner up, George Shelly, equalled the monotone dialogue of Samantha's. The Prince, and/or whoever the TV personality may happen to portray, often share similar characteristics in these productions; which can offer a more dynamic ensemble, whilst coming across as detached from the rest of the cast.
Luckily, St Albans legends Bob Golding (Milo & Max [CBeebies' 'Tweenies']) and Ian Kirkby (Harry Batt ['Dick & Dom In Da Bungalow']) were always naturally fantasticly funny; reminiscent of other comedy duo characters seen in 'Little Britain' and 'The Mighty Boosh'.
Husband of the show's director, Dorcas Wood, Buttons brought the whole audience together through the family friendly comedy stylings of Oliver Scott.
Nephew to the Chuckle Brothers (Barry and Paul Elliot) and son to TV actor parents (Rachel Elliot and Jimmy Patton), Damon Patton shared more in common with the energetic theatricals of Jim Carey, as his hilariously hyper dramatics was a hit with the kids.
From a West End lead's understudy to the centre stage, Bessy Ewa acted as a very capable and calm comedic foil in Cinderella, amongst all the madness, giving this offering all the ingredients for a perfect Pantomime for all the family.

I’m a working-class kid from the South Side of Chicago, and I helped my mother survive in the 1950s after my chain-smoking immigrant father died of lung cancer. My father ran a laundry and cleaning store in the heart of the African-American neighborhood, and most of his clients had come to the big city in the north from the Deep South.
I learned a lot about Georgia in particular from a young employee named Sterling who pressed pants and suits in our shop and took me on more than a few Sundays to Negro league baseball games at Comiskey Park that took place every other Sunday when the White Sox played away games. I was too young to share the beers, which were used to top off swigs of whiskey, but old enough to get a sense of their enormous relief at getting out from the tyranny of Jim Crow in the Deep South.
Sterling was always telling me I would be OK, essentially because I was not afraid to work hard and, most importantly, I had white skin. There was no malice in the comment: it was just a fact of life. A few years went by, and my mother decided it was time to go live with my brother in California, and there was no need for me to keep running my father’s vaguely profitable business. She left, and I pisssed her off by immediately giving the keys to the store to the employees, including Sterling, and I moved on. I reminded them to pay the rent, and I fled to the University of Chicago, where I was attending classes when I could, and moved into a $12-a-week basement room, with a bathroom down the hall—a life of sheer bliss. This was in 1958.

I feel like Jimmy and Ali would be the sort of parents who are purposefully blind as to what monsters their kids are? Part of the reason is the kids are very well behaved for them, so initially they don't suspect a thing. Then after the first couple of nannies have left, claiming the kids are too much to manage, they begin suspecting but they still place more of the blame on the ex nannies because, "It's fine, kids act up sometimes, you have to deal with it."
I can see VK calling Jimmy and Ali to complain about their kids being utter devils, and Jimmy snapping at him like, "You better not call my son any names, or I'll give you a black eye!"
I like the idea that maybe, after some time, VK gets fed up of all the pranks and pulls a prank of his own on Harry and co? That's finally what gets Harry to start to warm up to him, because VK is fun and chill, he didn't send him to his room or stop him from watching TV because of a prank, and if he's going to be like this all the time, then he can find a way to live with this nanny.
How do you think VK and Ali/Jim fall in love in this AU? And what does VK do at uni?
I’m mean I’m not sure I see Jim ever being or threatening to be violent, but I can see them thinking it’s more the nannies than the kids.
I’m not sure what VK does at uni, and they’ll fall in love with him because of how great he is with the kids

Rock Star - Chapter 10: Take These Lies And Make Them True
“You snatched his phone out of his hand?” Irene asked incredulously as Jim entered her office with Devlin. “What is wrong with you?”
“How much time do you have?” Jim quipped.
“The mood that he was in? Are you alright? He didn’t hit you?” Murphy asked.
Why does he seem genuinely surprised that I am walking?
“It was close.” Devlin grumbled before Jim could stop him. “He’s fast.”
Murphy stood with Ellison, one of the other guards to Irene on the daytime shift.
“Yeah, he stopped himself in time.” Jim shrugged sizing up Murphy. “Something tells me, I will not be so lucky with you.”
“Oh, you got that right, sunshine.” Murphy agreed. “I wasn’t the one to mess with, with the old boss and Bast knows I certainly won’t be now, especially since he may be taking over full time. There’s a reason we are both expert marksmen; but he was an expert sniper . I have the skill, but not the extra discipline. I will punch your light-”
What? Moran? Taking over?
“Moran is taking over what?” Jim interrupted, cutting off what he knew was Murphy’s, not a threat, but a promise to punch his lights out should he test him.
Which of course means I certainly will test him at some point, but not now.
Murphy, Ellison, Devlin, Kate, Stephanie and Irene literally stopped everything they were doing and just stared at him incredulously.
As though I just said something incredibly stupid, something in which I really should have known - fuck.
It has been a VERY long time since James Moriarty felt outright stupid, but he felt it just then as it immediately came to him.
When Irene said ‘his’ company she meant it. It’s HIS company. Moran is not an employee of Vyāghuṣ Cerberus Ventures he OWNS it. Well fuck. And his father just died. Oh, way to go, Jimmy!
“You? YOU did not look him up?” Stephanie was flabbergasted.
“Did you not care at all? No, no, don't bother answering. Just don’t.” Irene sighed, her disappointment cut deep.
“ Vyāghuṣ Cerberus Ventures is a family-owned business. That family had two direct members. One of whom just died.” Murphy pinched the bridge of his nose, and spoke the words slowly as though speaking to a child. “At first built as competition to his father’s company. His father, Daniel - never Dan or God forbid Danny , except by his late brother - Daniel Moran, knew how his son hated the administrative parts of it, and had wagered the business would fail within three years. Sebastian proved him very wrong. The man understands logistics and knows how to get the best people for the right jobs. In VCV’s fifth year of success, Daniel honored their wager, merging his firm under Sebastian’s name. Pops Moran became the face that provided personal security to celebrities and politicians as well as cyber security, allowing Sebastian to be the personnel man, being better at vetting quality people and getting top dollar for them. Sebastian’s cousin Severus, a ‘former’ hacker…” all heard the quotes around the word former , “...heads the Cyber Security division. Daniel and I, and Bast - all ex-military, plus Sev and a team of others, run the day-to-day. Daniel was the face, but Sebastian absolutely is the head of the overall firm, all major decisions are his.”
“But if all Sebastian did was operations now, why was he personally protecting Jim…?” Kate asked.
“Irene asked a friend for the best he knew to protect me and hopefully not kill me first. That friend apparently asked Moran.” Jim answered knowingly, now that he bothered to think about it.
He walked to Irene and took her hands in his. “It was an added protection for me. I knew you would have vetted him with a fine tooth comb. And I do trust you - so no, I did not bother - because I did not need to. ” He brought her fingers to his lips then looked back at Murphy. “You and Moran always meet each potential client personally. Determine their needs and who would be best suited to work with them. That is what you two were doing the night we met.”
“Exactly. Basher was not supposed to be personally babysitting your arse at all.” Murphy confirmed. “Then you pulled your little stunt that night. He does not want, nor need your money or your bullshit. He stayed because he is the best fit for the job. Now that the old man is gone? Until things are straightened out on that end and he comes back, IF he comes back - you get me .”
Jim honestly had nothing against Liam Murphy protecting him.
I know the man is more than capable, but… He’s not Sebastian.
He did not want to think about why it upsets him, nonetheless.
“But why must Irene lose Murphy?” Kate asked indignantly for her boss, and lover.
“Kate. Stop.” Irene shook her head slightly. “We went over this. We all know if…if he gets to me - then Jim’s next. What we don’t know is if he’ll skip me and go for Jim just to throw things off. Jim is the bastard’s ultimate target and thus the priority. With Sebastian out of the picture now, Murphy is the next best to protect him.” She squeezed Jim’s hands and pulled away. “Just not the best to put up with your petty shit.”
“I would have been the one assigned to you, if you hadn't pissed off Basher.” Liam confirmed.
“Oh, and Liam?” Irene sat up straight. “What I said that first night regarding Moran and Jim now applies to you .”
Jim looked from Irene to Murphy who somehow managed to look very amused and very annoyed. What did she say to him?
“And I told you, Irene, it won’t be Basher’s fault if the fucker gets himself killed because he…” Murphy emphatically pointed at Jim, “...insists upon being him . Can’t protect against stupid.”
“And I told you, Liam,…” Irene pointed just as emphatically at Murphy, “...that I do not give a shit. It’s your job now to protect him - even from himself.” Somehow Irene seemed to sit even more straight as she leveled a glare at Murphy - all business, all The Woman . “If he dies? It better be because you’re dead. Because I promise you - if I outlive him, and you’re not dead…? You’ll wish you were.”
Jim wanted to preen at the threat to Murphy, but her words stopped him.
“...If I outlive him…” It’s more than your life on the line, straighten your shite out, Jimmy.
Jim sighed and turned back to Murphy, “So what now?”
“Let’s start with not trying to piss me the fuck off. I will punch your lights and blame it on grieving.” Murphy glared at him, “And next: Stop. Being. Stupid .”
“Piss off, Murphy. I’m a lot of things. Stupid is not one.”
“Uh, you snatched Basher’s phone out of his hand.” Murphy reminded him. “ Stupid is as stupid does . And that was stupid.”
Jim did not miss Murphy’s slow tightening and releasing of his fist.
He’s really hoping I do something stupid - more stupid.
“Fine,” Jim conceded, “but no promises.”
----
Sebastian sat in the first row.
The mourners row.
With both of his parents now gone, it was his Aunt Kendra who sat churlishly at his side. Churlishly because Sebastian had intended to honor his father’s wishes and have him cremated first and then a memorial service. It was something his aunt, who wanted a grave burial - in spite of what her brother-in-law had made clear he wanted - was very much against. She finally stopped complaining about it when Sebastian compromised. He will not have his father cremated until after the service, but he WILL honor his father’s wishes. He also allowed her to sit next to him at the service as chief mourner-in-law. Sebastian mentally sighed at his father’s portrait by the closed casket, something else Sebastian would not negotiate on, imagining his father’s amusement at what Kendra had to know was going to be a losing battle. After all, she had been married to Sebastian’s stubborn-as-an-ox uncle, Irving Moran. And Daniel Moran, the elder of the two, was notoriously more so. It was a trait passed on to his only child.
The blue eyes Sebastian also inherited stayed facing forward as the service dredged went on, mostly on the large portrait of his near doppelganger - his father: Daniel Augustus Moran.
Daniel’s fight with cancer had been a several years long one, with the last few months having been essentially pain management and getting his affairs in order. Sebastian and his father had not had the best relationship, but…
I was here when you needed me.
Sebastian absolutely had not wanted to take the job with Moriarty. Sebastian was fully prepared to call the singer at his bluff and let him go to another company. It was his father, who convinced Sebastian to take the job. Daniel laughed heartily as Sebastian told him about the mini-tussle with Jim.
"Hah! Looks like you got someone who lights fire to your arse for a change, huh?!"
In the end it was a good thing. It had helped to keep him busy and take his mind off worrying about his father who was still strong enough to come into the office for a few hours each week.
In fact, his father was at the office when the caretaker, whom Daniel did not allow to sit inside his office, called and informed Sebastian that her charge had passed away while in the midst of a call at his desk. Fortunately, the person on the other line was a cousin who called the main office line to have someone go into the room and check.
“Knowing that he was going, doesn’t help now that he’s gone.” Sebastian had told Murphy when they spoke later that day. “He lived until he died.”
His father was never one for ceremony, and neither was he. It took everything Sebastian had to keep a straight face at the oh-so-somber young soldier simply doing his job in taking the folded flag and presenting it to him with his oh-so-solemn face and practiced words. Still, Sebastian knew his father would have appreciated the draping of the Union Jack Flag across his closed casket - another thing Sebastian would not allow.
“In a slight departure from the programme we’re having a soloist who wishes to honor Daniel and his family in song.”
Sebastian, who honestly had only paid trite attention to the programme arranged by his aunt, frowned when she suddenly grasped his arm with a loud gasp.
His head turned in the direction in which his aunt stared at the door that opened off to the side.
What the fuck? You son of a bitch! How DARE you!
Jim Moriarty entered. This was Jim, not Moriarty . The rock star was in a subdued blue suit; his suit, and tie the same deep hue, a crisp white dress shirt, his shoes, belt and the dark ombre glasses that shielded his eyes were black as he walked to the piano at the right of the coffin.

Riddler: Hello, comish... *laughs* Oh I'm sorry. That is not your tittle anymore. Well, let's start again. Hello, hello, Jimmy.
Jim Gordon: How you have my number?
Riddler: Wrong. The right question is: what do I want with your number?
Jim Gordon: And what DO you want, Riddler?
Riddler: Break me, and I won’t stop working. Touch me, and I may be snared. Nothing matters if you lose me. What am I?
Jim Gordon: Stop playing and answer me.
Riddler: Oh, how boring. The answer is a heart. And I'm here in the name of the most important thing in yours.
Jim Gordon: Where is Barbara?
Riddler: Why? Rigth here of course.
Jim Gordon: WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY DAUGTHER, YOUR MANIAC.
Riddler: Relax, we are just having a bit ot harmless fun, if you understand me.
Jim Gordon: RIDDLER I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU DO ANYTHING WITH HER I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.

Jim Gordon: Are you sure everything is okay?
Barbara: Yeah. The closest thing to torture was hearing his rambles about my clothing choice for my date with Renee. That was reaally annoying. But we are fine.

Barbara: Thanks, dad.

The ex-psychologist
pairing: Jerome Valeska X Reader
warnings: mention of violence, slight angst, sort a fluff
words: 1502
summary: Jerome reunites with his psychologist from the first time he ended up in Arkham.
note: I apologise for any mistakes and for the English... as always....andddd I wanted to thank @theunquenchablethirst for giving me the idea by looking at one of them post (this one).
@gabile18, @glowingatdawn
............................................................................
The light rain continued to fall lightly all over Gotham, it looked like a quiet, melancholy day. It definitely didn't feel like a chaotic and potentially dangerous evening, but that was what the young Bruce was experiencing at the moment.
It all started with a simple visit from the infamous ginger, Jerome Valeska, presumed dead a few hours earlier, who wanted to kill him there and then, but Bruce managed to waste time by convincing the ginger that he deserved an audience for his death he ended up at some kind of carnival filled with violence, blood and torture.
While Bruce was dealing with the mad ginger, Jim and Harvey were out, dealing with the ex-psychologist, in her flat.
The atmosphere was quite tense between them, the woman was concentrating on finishing preparing tea for them while listening to the sound of the rain outside. She turned around as the water was ready, meeting Jim's gaze at first, breaking the silence "So...Jimmy, get straight to the point, I know this isn't a friendly visit or one to see if I'm alright”, the man nodded sadly but always pleasantly surprised by the intelligence of the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Have you been watching the latest news on TV?" she shook her head slightly, taking a sip of tea as she waited for him to continue speaking "have you heard the news about the followers trying to revive...Jerome?" the woman nodded, freezing at the name "they succeeded, didn't they?" the detective nodded slightly confused "how.." she sighed hinting a smile taking another sip from her cup "We're in Gotham, I expect everything now...so,
you're here because Jerome came back to life and you thought that...he might have
come here for me?" the man nodded, putting down the cup she had given him “ and to ask your help to find him," the woman shook her head, breaking eye contact, listening to Jim's pleas "who better than you to help us, you were his psychologist and it's not the first time he'd come looking for you, Wanna count all the times...", he stopped talking about that subject when the ex-psychologist refused to remind them "please...Y/n".
Y/n looked up again when she heard her name making to refuse once more, interrupted
by the sudden call the detective received, which he quickly answered after excusing himself leaving the room with Y/n and Harvey alone in silence.
He reentered the room looking more worried and in a hurry, making a quick gesture to his colleague and greeted the beautiful woman, noting the preoccupied expression on her face “I heard the name Bruce, did something happen to Bruce Wayne?” Jim paused at the exit nodding "yes, Jerome has been at Wayne Manor, we need to find him, close all doors and do not try to leave your building Miss Y/l/n” and after that he went out, preparing to look for the young millionaire.
It wasn't many stairs down before they heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer as they saw Y/N coming down, glancing quickly at them, raising an eyebrow "Weren't you in a hurry?, I think I know where to find Jerome", Jim nodded and smiled as he left, rushing into the car followed by them.
They reached the carnival quickly, managing to pass between the followers, with some difficulty because of the immense crowd there, and managed to catch a glimpse of Bruce and Jerome.
Jim turned to tell Y/n to go to a safe place as he found himself with only Harvey by his side. The detective shifted his gaze to look for her, seeing her y/h/c hair in the crowd moving towards the position where Bruce was tied up, losing herself in the followers.

They managed to intervene just in time, moving away from the followers and looking for where the others had gone meeting Alfred.
Y/n continued to look for the way to the exit of the house of mirrors which she went into after seeing the ginger and the young boy enter, hearing the voice of the ginger man continuing to speak and calling for Bruce and shortly after sounds of a fight, which ceased when Bruce noticed her in the mirror meeting her y/e/c eyes.
The boy slowly let go of the shard of glass he was holding, making to say something surprised to see her, moving around looking for her, finding himself circled by her reflections "Y/n?" Bruce turned to the reflection on his right, seeing her smile as she continued to look him straight in the eye and shrugged slightly "Brucie", he snapped back, starting to look for her again to get away from Jerome, who was still staring at the various mirrors, admiring the shape of the form of the woman he had become obsessed with before he died and who was his psychiatrist, smiling at the fact that she was still the same, young, his own age, always
attractive, with her character and a hint of a smile that was almost always present.
That evening she wore long trousers in grey, a white shirt tucked into her trousers and a dark green coat with a plaid design.
THe man came to his senses as soon as he heard around him the sound of the ex-psychologist's wonderful snorted laugh who was still looking at him "hello Jerome", his smile widened as he heard his name pronounced by her voice, which sounded
even sweeter and more angelic than he remembered "hiya Doc, no more glasses?" the girl smiled amused, pulling them out of her pocket and putting them on, raising her eyebrows "better?" he nodded slightly mesmerized, starting to get up "where are you Doc?”.
The woman continued to watch the ginger turn around waiting a moment to answer his question "in the house of mirrors, I thought you knew that when you came in," she chuckled at his reaction, clearing her throat slightly "and I'm not a psychologist anymore anyway, you don't need to call me that anymore," she smiled at Jerome's surprised face as he continued to move around looking for her "I didn't mind having you as my psychiatrist, you were...different and a nice view too, I can't lie" he smiled as he stopped at the mirror seeing the reflection of her laughing in amusement, thanking him by posing slightly "I know, I'm not bad at all" she laughed again returning to smiling sweetly.
The ginger began to return her smile as he shifted again and continued his research. “It was really different with you…. you saw the patients you had more as friends than as patients, which is insane if you think about it" he burst into maniacal laughter "that's so hilarious too, you're literally talking to a madman as if he was your friend and you did that in Arkham too", he frowned becoming serious still in an expression of thought "maybe that's why they fired you".
The girl snorted a laugh shaking her head at his supposition "not just because that, unluckily, everyone has their own techniques and way of looking at things...you're not crazy Jerome, you're just... misunderstood and broken, we are all surrounded by broken people...you just have to find the person who understands you. . . who has an open mind, which is difficult because no one ever knows where to look, but I do and I also know what it feels like to be in your position, better than anyone else, it's always more significant if you experience it first hand…. I've never answered one of your questions Jerome, I will now, I remember you asked me more than once at Arkham if I could read other people's minds, because I always knew how a person felt or what they wanted and the answer is no, unfortunately I don't have that ability, but I know where to look, unlike other people and I can confirm that the phrase ‘The phrase eyes are the window’ to the soul is true, you just have to be able to look, seriously, into a person's eyes to understand a large percentage of what happened to them, the same goes for you and you have beautiful eyes by the way", she smiled expecting a laugh from the ginger who just continued to look at her totally serious.
Coming to his senses a few moments later, preparing to make a dirty joke and laugh about it even though he knew she was perfectly right, not just about the part of his eyes but the part before as well.
Lost in his own thoughts he didn't have time to add anything seeing only the ex-psychologist's surprised expression and Bruce dragging her out quickly talking to her worriedly.
Jerome frowned slowly, boiling inside as he rushed out of the house of mirrors "Oh no, Brucie boy, you can' t touch my psychologist without consequences"
