Lead the Charge; Jawbreaker

This entry contains two related side quests: Lead the Charge and Jawbreaker.

Side quest: Lead the Charge

Characters involved: Lieutenant Farrow, Scout Harding

(The Jaws of Hakkon are attacking the Inquisition’s soldiers who set up camps by the river.)

Party comments:

Dorian: Inquisition soldiers... with a few more Hakkonites than strictly necessary.

Iron Bull: Inquisition soldiers—we lending a hand?

Varric: Inquisition soldiers. Looks like they could use a hand.

Vivienne: Inquisition soldiers. Shall we lend a hand?

Cassandra: Inquisition soldiers. We should help them.

Blackwall: Some of ours. We should help.

Solas: Inquisition soldiers. We should help them.

(The Hakkonites are defeated.)

Farrow: Inquisitor. Thank you.

(Speak with the Inquisition's officer.)

Farrow: Lieutenant Farrow, ser. We've beaten back those Hakkonite bastards. My men and I will hold here. The Hakkonites along the river still pose a threat. After this last battle, we need time to fortify and regroup.

[1] Dialogue options:

General: What's the situation? [2] (This will initiate the side quest “Jawbreaker”.)

General: I should go. [3]

[2] General: What's the situation?

PC: What's the situation along the river?

Farrow: Between the Hakkonites and the wildlife, this isn't the easiest place to maintain a presence. The river's the best way for the Inquisition to send supplies from Skyhold—or it would be if we could travel safely along it. The Hakkonites set up camps near the banks, and they attack anyone who gets within view. [Back to 1]

[3] General: I should go.

PC: That will be all, Lieutenant.

Farrow: Ser. [Exits the conversation]

(If you approach Scout Harding back in the main camp after completing the side quest “Lead the Charge”.)

Dialogue options:

General: Our soldiers are safe.

General: Our soldiers are safe.

PC: I helped our soldiers defend against a Hakkonite raid.

Harding: That's a relief. We've lost enough men to them.

~

Side quest: Jawbreaker

Characters involved: Lieutenant Farrow

(Three Hakkonite camps have to be cleared.)

(After the first Hakkonite camp is cleared.)

Party comments:

Cassandra: These Hakkonites seem little more than thugs.

Dorian: Even in the middle of nowhere, we find fanatics. Lucky us.

Vivienne: We do seem to draw the attention of fanatics.

Blackwall: If these Hakkonites are all over the river, I can see why our people have had a hard time.

Iron Bull: They're determined, I'll give them that.

(After all three Hakkonite camps are dealt with.)

Party comments:

Cassandra: We've done what we can here. Inquisition presence should help keep the area safe. Safer than it was, at least.

Iron Bull: Should be fewer Hakkonite assholes around here now.

Blackwall: River should be a sight safer with the Hakkonites gone.

(If no companion makes a comment.)

PC: The river should see less Hakkonite activity—at least for now.

(Return to Lieutenant Farrow.)

Farrow: Inquisitor.

[4] Dialogue options:

General: The river’s secure. [5]

General: I should go. [6]

[5] General: The river’s secure.

PC: The Hakkonites were pushed back from the river.

Farrow: That will put minds at ease, ser. I'll arrange patrols for the area. It's no Imperial Highway, but we'll see people along as safely as we can. [Back to 4]

[6] General: I should go.

PC: That will be all, Lieutenant.

Farrow: Ser. [Exits the conversation]

I wish Lieutenant Farrow was romanceable! I mean look at this guy, he’s such a cutie!

Illustration of a scene from my Lysette/Adan fic.

Detail view: 

Fic excerpt under the cut! 

Mattrin Gallifort, third son of the Bann of White River, had never wanted to join the Inquisition. He hadn’t wanted to join the Templar Order, either. Although at least that had been partially his own decision: promised to the Chantry at birth, his only other real option had been to take vows as a Brother. But luckily he’d proven good with a sword—as well he might after years of weapons training, tedious lectures, and daily sparring.

It had been, in fact, a lot of bloody work. Mattrin didn’t much appreciate that all it had gotten him was a lyrium addiction and a trip to the coldest, wettest part of Ferelden with a bunch of fucking apostates and Lysette fucking Rendall. Not that Lysette was such a bad sort, as it went, but she would have been somewhere near the bottom of his list of people to keep him company for weeks on end. Stubborn as a druffalo, and no sense of humor at all.

Mattrin shifted in his saddle. It was a struggle to maintain proper knightly dignity when riding through yet another cloud of vicious little biting insects. Lysette saw him fidgeting and turned in her own saddle to send him a flat look. Andraste’s tits. The woman wasn’t bad-looking, he supposed, but he’d as soon have bedded his sister. Did she ever smile? Erriala was more to his taste, but she was in Orlais and still hung up on old Tomas, besides.

The only other candidate for female companionship was no better: a necromancer who was a blood mage if he’d ever seen one. Nevarran, he thought, and that was hardly different from being Tevinter as far as Mattrin was concerned. No, there was little chance of a girl to keep him warm on this journey. Unless he found one in the bog.

Probably just as well. He’d be up all night scratching these bloody bites anyway.

“Any sign of the road?” called the elf at the head of the party. And wasn’t that another insult. Not only was the leader of their expedition no warrior, he was a knife-ear with a bow who nonetheless outranked any of them. Damned Inquisition.

“To the left, Lieutenant,” came a good-natured voice from behind Mattrin.

It was starting to rain again. Mattrin cursed under his breath as he tightened his reins and directed his horse to the left. They were two days out from the arl’s estate, and the roads just got worse as the elevation increased. The whole point of this blasted expedition was to find a secret route that’d make travel across the Frostbacks easier, but the terrain they’d found since leaving the Imperial Highway—well, Mattrin would almost have preferred the rocky pass north of Skyhold. And he hated the cold.

Almost as much as he hated babysitting apostates. The man riding behind Mattrin was another one, a Dalish git with ugly tattoos all over his bony face. It made Mattrin uneasy to have his back to a mage, but his attempts to take up the rear of the party had been thwarted by Lysette’s insistence that both templars ride alongside. She’d begun to feel something odd a while back, she said, and wanted Mattrin to tell her if he felt the same.

Probably just scared of the woods. Lysette was a city girl. He shook his head but then—he felt it too. A humming, just outside the edge of hearing. Not the insects. Something magical. His head shot up and his hand went to the hilt of his sword at the same time as Lysette’s.

But then it was gone, as quickly as it had come.

The rest of the party had noticed the templars’ momentary agitation, and Lieutenant Farrow held up his hand to signal a halt. He turned to look inquiringly at Lysette—why did everyone always look to her when Mattrin was the same sodding rank?—and she held up a finger in response. Wait. She was listening to the forest around them. Reluctantly, Mattrin did the same. 

For a long minute, all he heard was the buzzing of flies and the impatient stomp of his horse’s hooves on the mucky ground. A distant rumble of thunder that made him eager to reach the next town before the weather became truly intolerable and they had to set up camp in an actual swamp. Finally, Lysette turned to Mattrin with her eyebrows raised.

He shrugged and admitted, “It’s gone, but I felt it too. A triggered enchantment, or something. What about the mages?”

The elf mage furrowed his brows but shook his head. The Nevarran shrugged disinterestedly.

Lysette looked to Lieutenant Farrow. “We’d best ride alongside them. Unless you object?”

“No, go on.”

In short order, Mattrin found himself escorting a necromancer through the woods by moonlight. A high point of his career, this was. Lysette rode behind with the Dalish mage, Cillian, who called himself an arcane warrior—as if a mage’s tricks were anything like real combat. Skill and strength made a warrior, not borrowed power from the realm of spirits. That power wasn’t yours. It could turn on you in an instant.

Mattrin kept his charge firmly in his peripheral vision. She glared back at him with equal dislike. “I did not join the Inquisition to be placed under the thumb of a templar, Farrow.”

“You’re not under his thumb,” said the lieutenant sharply. “We’ve got a job to do, and I’ll hear no more from you, Sidony. Move out.”

Read the rest.

Secrets well kept (pt 1)

You stood next to Bong-Soon, watching the two men argue about her safety and whether or not she should stay or go.

Kook-Doo: I'm not letting her stay here alone, with you. He said, standing firm and strong.

Just before Min-Hyuk could say anything to Kook-Doo, you got up from your seat on the couch as you spoke.

Y/n: I'm staying too. You said, with a bright smile, trying to lighten the mood.

Bong-Soon: Huh?

You made eye contact with Min-Hyuk, as he nodded understanding what you were trying to do. Motioning you over, you stood next to him tall and confident as you looked up to Kook-Doo.

Kook-Doo: Fine. But look after them both. Their woman, and they can't take care of themselves.

At those words you farrowed your eyebrows together, as you took a step closer. Hands on your hips, you pointed at yourself as you let out a sigh.

Y/n: I'll have you know Kook-Doo...that I am the best Taikwando fighter voted by the woman's fighting magazine. I won 6 gold metals, 3 silvers metals, while winning 20 fights and loosing only 3. So...you tell me if I'm weak or not. Oh, and my father is Captain Lee in the army and my mother is Lieutenant Lee of the Police force.

Kook-Doo: I...i had no idea who's daughter-

Y/n: That doesn't matter. You should never judge a book by its cover. You replied, as you walked off leaving everyone confused.

After a while there was a knock on the guest bedroom. The person came in to reveal Min-Hyuk, with some sweatpants, a shirt and hoodie.

Min-Hyuk: Here. This should be better, than sleeping in a dress. He said as he placed the clothes on the bed beside you.

Y/n: Min-Hyuk.

Min-Hyuk: Yes.

Y/n: Do...do you think I'm weak? You questioned, as you look at the floor.

Min-Hyuk: You weak? Never. He said, as he sat next to you. I know your a Strang woman. Maybe not like Bong-Soon, but your strong. I remember that time in 4th grade, where you punched that kid for hurting me. Giving a 5th grader a blue eye, was pretty amazing...and you were such a small and skinny kid. You protected me that day, and you have ever since. You've even been there for me through everything. I can't say the same for me though. Min-Hyuk said, as he looked down at his hands that laid on his lap.

Y/n: What? Min-Hyuk, you've always protected.

Min-Hyuk: How?

Y/n: You protected me, and you've been there for me too. You said, as you took his hand in yours. You came running when someone broke into my house, and I hid in the closet until they were gone and you insisted I stayed with you until I could find another place to stay. Or the time when you almost went into a frantic state, when I was in a car crash and you freaked out hugging me close like you almost lost me...just by a few cuts and bruses. You replied, looking deep into his eyes.

Min-Hyuk: You remembered that?

Y/n: Yes. I even remember the first day of kindergarten. The day I met you. You said, smiling. I was sitting at the playground, everyone was eating outside or playing and I was all alone. And out of nowhere you came, handing me a banana flavored milk...introducing yourself as you sat next to me. And you said-

Min-Hyuk: From this day on, we shall be friends forever. He finished, as he gave a half smile. I remember...and it's the best desision that I've ever made.

Y/n: Me too.

Min-Hyuk got up, as he walked to the door.

Min-Hyuk: Get some sleep.

Nodding you waited till the room was empty before getting dressed, after that you jumped in the bed turning off the lights as you closed your eyes. Sleep taking over your body, your dream taking over your mind as you fell into a nightmare.

Nightmare

You were Bing chased in the woods, someone was after you. Breathing heavily, you hid behind a big tree thinking of something to do, or how you'd handle the situation.

Picking up a big branch, you moved out from the tree to see the man but he wasn't alone. The man had Min-Hyuk, by the throat tied up as he laughed manically. You shivered to see your friend in that position, your eyes filled with tears as you heard him scream.

Min-Hyuk: RUN! was all you heard him scream, before he was killed by the man.

Y/n: NOOO!

End of nightmare

Y/n: NOO! you screamed, breathing heavily as you sat up looking around in the room.

The door burt open to reveal Min-Hyuk, staring at you eyes wide as he ran closer.

Min-Hyuk: Are you okay?

Y/n: I...You...you were...killed...h...he...k...killed you. You said, through sobs as you looked at Min-Hyuk.

Min-Hyuk: Y/n-

Y/n: N...no...you...he-

Min-Hyuk: Y/n. He said, calmly making you look into his eyes. I'm right here. He spoke, as he moved closer placing a kiss on your head before you threw your arms around his neck crying in the crowk of his neck.

Y/n: P...please don't leave me. Stay...please. You asked, as you wiped your tears as you pulled away.

Min-Hyuk: Okay. I'll stay. He said, pushing you to the left side of the bed as he got in next to you.

Min-Hyuk held his arm open for you to lay on his chest, as he held you with both arms tightly. You were still shaking in his arms, but was slowly starting to calm down. Min-Hyuk, moved his left hand to sooth your head, as he whispered sweet nothings to calm you down.

After a while he looked down to see if you were asleep, but to his dismay you were wide awake.

Min-Hyuk: Y/n?

Y/n: I can't sleep. I'm too scared to close my eyes...what if I see everything again? I-

Min-Hyuk leaned down as he captured your lips with his. His soft lips, gently pressed against yours as he rubbed his thumb over your cheekbone. Pulling away slowly, you blinked as you traced his lower lip with your thumb before you pecked his lips before pulling away again.

Min-Hyuk smiled as he pulled you towards him, kissing you again as he kissed you, you felt like butterflies were everywhere inside you. You wanted this, you've been wanting this for ages and now it's happening.

Min-Hyuk moved his position, as he hovered over you having a better angle at kissing you. You pushed his up while kissing him, allowing you both to sit as you pulled back for air.

Y/n: Min...are you sure you want to-

Min-Hyuk: I'm sure. He replied, as he kissed you. Your one hand moved to the nap of his neck, as the other tangled in his hair. His hands were on either side of your face, as he deepened the kiss. Min-Hyuk, stopped kissing you as you both looked at each other.

Y/n: Min?

Min-Hyuk: If we keep kissing, I don't think I can stop myself...i won't be able to control myself and what I might do.

Y/n: Min, I-

Min-Hyuk: You should get some rest. I promise I won't leave you, I'll stay by your side the whole night. He spoke, as he got in the bed laying down motioning for you to lay beside him.

Laying down, Min-Hyuk threw his arm around you as he spooned you from behind kissing your neck.

Min-Hyuk: I'll be here the entire time. He assured, pulling you closer if that was even possible.

Y/n: Min. You...you won't tell anyone about this will you? About the nightmare?

Min-Hyuk: Why would I? I can keep secrets.

WIP Wednesday

Admiral Steven Hackett looks up when Major Farrow enters his office off the Everest’s bridge, clears her throat and stands at attention, chin raised. His eyes narrow. Her nervous swallow tells him everything he needs to know, but he supposes he needs to hear it out loud. He sets his datapad down, stands, and levels his gaze.

“Report, Major.”

“We received the casualty list from the SSV Normandy, sir. Mission debrief still pending, figured you wanted this straight away.”

Hackett nods to his desk. Farrow sets the datapad down, relief etched across her face as she salutes and all but dismisses herself back out the door before he can read it.

When the door slides closed behind her Hackett scowls at the datapad before reaching for it and activating the screen. The list has twenty-two names on it. He only cares about one.

Shepard, Sam

He works his jaw.

Shepard, Sam. Son of Hannah and Daniel Shepard, promoted to Staff Commander nine months ago, at the time of his transfer from the SSV Myeongnyang to the SSV Normandy. Achieved N7 in ‘81, nearly fucked himself and everyone else during the Torfan shitshow in ‘78.

Half the Alliance had wanted to crucify Shepard for Torfan. Hackett had rammed through a promotion to Lieutenant Commander and given him a medal.

Torfan just showed how far Shepard was willing to go when someone else was doing the thinking for him. Hackett could only imagine what he’d do if the Alliance let him think for himself.

Turns out he would steal a prototype frigate, force the Alliance to mobilize, save the galaxy from an invasion risk no one else believed existed, and win humanity a seat on the Council.

And after his explosive testimony at the inquest a few weeks ago, Hackett was pretty sure Shepard was only getting warmed up.

He needed Shepard. The short-sighted politicians over at Command didn’t recognize what kind of a weapon he was in their hands. Against the reapers, maybe the only weapon that would matter.  

Hackett did.

What a waste.

[silent-era-of-cinema]

Lila Lee (born Augusta Wilhelmena Fredericka Appel; July 25, 1905 – November 13, 1973) was a prominent screen actress, primarily a leading lady, of the silent film and early sound film eras.

The daughter of Augusta Fredericka Appel (1875–1940) and Carl Appel (1873–1935), Lee was born Augusta Wilhelmena Fredericka Appel on July 25, 1905 in Union Hill, New Jersey (now part of Union City), into a middle-class family of German immigrants who relocated to New York City. She had an older sister, Pauline ("Peggy"), who had been born in Hamburg, Germany in 1900.

Searching for a hobby for their gregarious young daughter, the Appels enrolled Lila in Gus Edwards' kiddie review shows where she was given the nickname of "Cuddles"; a name that she would be known by for the rest of her acting career. Her stagework became so popular with the public that her parents had her educated with private tutors. Edwards would become Lee's long-term manager.

Lillian Edwards, wife of Gus Edwards, was Lee's guardian. When Lee was 15 years old, she went to court seeking an injunction to prevent Mrs. Edwards "from collecting any money for Lila's services." Mrs. Edwards countered that she had spent 10 years helping to shape Lee's career and had invested money in her.

Lee performed in vaudeville for eight years.

In 1918, she was chosen for a film contract by Hollywood film mogul Jesse Lasky for Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, which later became Paramount Pictures. Her first feature The Cruise of the Make-Believes garnered the seventeen-year-old starlet much public acclaim and Lasky quickly sent Lee on an arduous publicity campaign. Critics lauded Lila for her wholesome persona and sympathetic character parts. Lee quickly rose to the ranks of leading lady and often starred opposite such matinee heavies as Conrad Nagel, Gloria Swanson, Wallace Reid, Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle, and Rudolph Valentino. Lee bore more than a slight resemblance to Ann Little, a former Paramount star and frequent Reid co-star who was leaving the film business and at this stage in her career an even stronger resemblance to Marguerite Clark.

In 1922 Lee was cast as Carmen in the enormously popular film Blood and Sand, opposite matinee idol Rudolph Valentino and silent screen vamp Nita Naldi; Lee subsequently won the first WAMPAS Baby Stars award that year. Lee continued to be a highly popular leading lady throughout the 1920s and made scores of critically praised and widely watched films.

As the Roaring Twenties drew to a close, Lee's popularity began to wane and Lee positioned herself for the transition to talkies. She is one of the few leading ladies of the silent screen whose popularity did not nosedive with the coming of sound. She went back to working with the major studios and appeared, most notably, in The Unholy Three, in 1930, opposite Lon Chaney Sr. in his only talkie. However, a series of bad career choices and bouts of recurring tuberculosis and alcoholism hindered further projects and Lee was relegated to taking parts in mostly grade B-movies.

Lee was married and divorced three times. Her first husband was actor James Kirkwood, Sr., whom she married on July 26, 1923. They had met on the set of Ebb Tide in 1922. Kirkwood filed for divorce in May 1930 on grounds of her desertion; the divorce was finalized in August 1931. Lee and Kirkwood had a son in 1924, James Kirkwood, Jr., whose custody was granted to his father; he became a highly regarded playwright and screenwriter whose works include A Chorus Line and P.S. Your Cat Is Dead. Kirkwood Jr. was primarily raised by Lee's family in Elyria, Ohio.

In her autobiography, Lee revealed she lost her virginity to Kirkwood before they were married and she fell pregnant as a result. Kirkwood ultimately arranged an abortion for her, and their relationship continued after this only because Kirkwood threatened to tell Lee's mother of their premarital relations.

In June 1928, Lee began an affair with John Farrow while Kirkwood was in London.[8] Lee wrote Kirkwood stating she wanted a divorce, and in late September of that year, the two formally separated. Lee decided not to fight for custody of their son because Kirkwood threatened to kill Farrow, Lee, their son, and himself. After their divorce, Lee traveled to Arizona and stayed in a sanitarium. Lee also became engaged to John Farrow, but they separated in 1933 after Lee discovered he was being unfaithful to her. He would go on to marry Maureen O'Sullivan in 1936.

At the beginning of her career, Lee dated Charlie Chaplin.

Her second husband was broker Jack R. Peine, who she married on December 8, 1934. By July 2, 1935, the two had divorced. Lee claimed Peine was a drunk, a gambler, and a cheater. Shortly into their marriage, with Lila looking for a house for the two, Peine took off to Mexico and didn't return for a month.

In 1935, Lee began a relationship with car salesman Reid Russell. In 1936, Lee was living in California with her son, novelist Gouverneur Morris, and his wife Ruth. Lee became engaged to Russell and planned to marry him once he obtained a divorce. On September 25, 1936, Russell's dead body was discovered outside on the hammock by Kirkwood Jr. He had been shot in the head with a .32 caliber one or two days prior. The bullet had penetrated Russell's head and passed through the other side, but the bullet and empty shell were never located. The gun found in his hand was one he kept in his bureau drawer at home.

Her third husband was broker John E. Murphy. According to author Sean Egan in the James Kirkwood biography Ponies & Rainbows (2011), Murphy's will left Lee at the financial mercy of his second wife, who consequently became the manipulative character Aunt Claire in P.S. Your Cat Is Dead, written by Lee's son, James Kirkwood, Jr.

Following the discovery of Russell's body, his death was investigated and treated as a suicide, and Mr. and Mrs. Morris both said that he was suicidal and had made suicidal remarks after losing his job. Lee would later confirm he had threatened suicide on multiple occasions and that he talked about it incessantly.

On November 11, the Los Angeles Times reported that a woman had made a telephone threat towards Russell's mom, Victoria, urging her to stop pushing the investigation into her son's death. The case had recently been reopened after Victoria had a conference with the investigators. Ruth told Lila that Reid had left a suicide note, but that she wasn't going to tell anyone about it. Lee went to the District Attorney's office to say that there was no suicide note, however Morris backtracked and said that there was. Lee herself never read the note, but Morris read it to her, and then burned it in an ashtray. Later in life, James Kirkwood Jr. would confide to a friend, William Russo, that there had been three suicide notes - one in Ruth Morris' jewel box, and two within a newel post on the handrail of a set of stairs in the house. The two other notes were found after the case was closed.

Gouverneur Morris, his wife Ruth, and Lila Lee were questioned by authorities about the destruction of the suicide note. Mrs. Morris claimed she found the suicide note in a box on her dresser drawer two or three days after Russell's body was discovered. Because his death had already been declared a suicide, Morris decided to burn it. Gouverneur Morris added that neither he nor his wife heard the report of a gunshot neighbors recalled coming from the Morris home at about 9 P.M. on September 24, and that there had been no argument prior to Russell's death.

On November 17, the Los Angeles Times reported that Russell's body may be exhumed depending on the report of a ballistic expert who was trying to determine if the .32 caliber revolver found in his hand had been fired recently. The following day, it was reported that Russell's body was to be exhumed as it could not be determined if the .32 caliber had been fired recently because the gun was in such rusty condition. During this time, investigators began to doubt the suicide hypothesis, but still were not considering murder, but rather if his death had occurred somewhere else other than outside on the hammock.

That same day, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Russell's mother Victoria claimed that four days before Russell's body was found, a woman had telephoned repeatedly asking for Russell and demanding to know where he was. Investigators were beginning to consider that Russell's death could have been a "love slaying". However, on November 19, his ex-wife told the Los Angeles Times that she believed Russell had killed himself. An entirely new theory was also introduced that day by The Examiner, who ran a story headed, "Racketeering Ring Linked to Russell Case". The source for the information was Detective Lieutenant Harry Leslie Hansen of the Georgia Street Divison, who was an old friend of Russell. The Los Angeles Times carried the story the next day, claiming that Hansen had reported to the District Attorney's office that Russell had told him that he was going to quit his automobile salesman's job to smuggle arms and ammunition to a foreign country. Russell revealed these plans to Hansen when the two had gone on a weekend party five days before his death. The same paper reported that Russell's exhumed body had led a county autopsy to declare that the results of the first autopsy still stood: the wound on Russell's temple was powder-marked and seared, indicating a self-inflicted wound, and that the wound was too small to have been made by either .45 or .38 caliber weapons and too big to have resulted from the firing of a .22, thus indicating that the .32 found in Russell's hand was indeed the cause of death.

In the 1930s she was diagnosed with tuberculosis and briefly stayed at a sanitarium in Prescott, Arizona in 1933. She then moved to Saranac Lake, New York for treatment at the Will Rogers Memorial Hospital. Lee made several uneventful appearances in stage plays in the 1940s, and starred in early television soap operas in the 1950s.

In 1973 Lee died of a stroke at Saranac Lake. She is buried at Brookdale Cemetery in Elyria, Ohio.

For her contribution as an actress in motion pictures, she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1716 Vine Street. It was dedicated on February 8, 1960.

After……Taxi Driver.

44 years ago Taxi Driver won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, jumpstarting more than a few careers. Here are some movies featuring the films alumni.

Albert Brooks – Real Life D: Albert Brooks (1979). The great postmodern comic played the Ralph-Bellamy type who becomes Travis Bickle’s imaginary romantic rival. Two years later he directed himself (playing a director and using his own name) in a  satire of PBS’s An American Family providing an even more prescient look at what reality TV would become. As his clueless narcissism derails the project and destroys the family he films, we realize that De Niro wasn’t the only cast member in touch with madness.

Peter Boyle – Jack McDermott in The Dream Team. D: Howard Zieff. (1989). Boyle played “Wizard” the wise old cowboy who didn’t know nothin’ about nothin’ (“It ain’t Bertrand Russell but what do ya want?���). In Zieff’s movie Boyle is a former adman who thinks that he’s Jesus Christ and that he gives better sermon’s when he is stripped naked. A nutball tour de force.

Cybill Shepherd – Jacy Farrow in Texasville. D: Peter Bogdanovich (1990).  Shepherd was Betsy the golden-haired beauty that Bickle briefly connected with – at least until he took her to a Times Square porn theater for their first date. In this sequel to The Last Picture Show which trades autumnal regret for screwball comedy, she plays the kind of woman who would have told Bickle, “I’ll get the tickets if you buy the popcorn.”

Harvey Keitel – The Lieutenant in Bad Lieutenant. D: Abel Ferrara (1992). Keitel plays The Lieutenant as if Sport, Taxi Driver’s child-pimping lowlife hustler survived the earlier film’s climax, switched sides to become a cop and rose through the ranks without ever pointing his moral compass anywhere close to north.

Jodie Foster – Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs. D. Jonathan Demme. Foster won an Oscar for this performance as an ambitious and needy FBI agent that is still undervalued and overshadowed by Anthony Hopkins iconic villain Hannibal Lecter (who, without Foster’s empathetic rapport would be the worst kind of cartoon boogeyman). Iris, the preteen prostitute could have told Starling what it’s like to be the object of a psychopath’s twisted savior complex.

Robert De Niro – Rupert Pupkin in The King of Comedy. D: Martin Scorcese (1983).  Taxi Driver is the story of a man so profoundly alienated from everyone he encounters that he ultimately has no medium of connection save violence. You can imagine Scorcese and De Niro brainstorming on how to top it. “Now” one would say to the other, “Imagine if he tried stand-up comedy….”

Is this Farrow??? At Skyhold??? Damn, Pahris’ future husband was right under her nose the whole time!!

[patheticnugbaby]

Okay.

Am I the only person that 110% forgot that Lieutenant Farrow exists? He’s a really minor character in Jaws of Hakkon, literally he gives you one quest then just sits in that camp shooting stuff for the Inquisition.

(Picture is from the wiki I couldn’t find any other good ones)

Who the fuck is this little blonde elf man?

6, 13, 16, 26 and 27 for the salty asks! :D

6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

I’ve come around to several pairings that I disliked for whatever reason in the beginning. Most notably OC/Cole when it’s done well.

13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character? (Cullen was mentioned, so we’ll do him)

My unpopluar opinion concerning Cullen isn’t really with him, but I guess with some of his stans? I don’t like his treatment from a lot of people :/ His trauma is treated as a game for the Inquisitor to solve, and even worse when his infatuation with Amell/Surana is brought into play. He should not still think of her with that same boyish wonder. He treated her badly last time they spoke and he was terrorized by her form at Kinloch. He most likely fears her!

I kind of blame Bioware for this too. A lot of things concerning Cullen are taken very lightly, like the nobles groping him at the Winter Palace.

16. If you could change anything in the show, what would you change?

HALF-ELVES. HALF-ELVES THAT LOOK LIKE HALF-ELVES.

26. Most shippable character?

Let’s do the most shippable characters that can’t be romanced! I have a laundry list of NPCs that need love.Varric, Briala, Lieutenant Farrow (omg his nose), Knight-Captain Rylen, Krem, Minaeve.

27. Least shippable character?

Aveline (just let her be with Donnic, they’re precious), Bann Teagan (fun to flirt with, doesn’t age well)
