I'm not joking -- I actually check IMDB every few days to make sure this is still real:

I mean, that's about as tailor-made for my entertainment as it can get. Not only are we getting a movie about this story, which I've been waiting for years for, but we're getting Offerman as President Arthur, Michael Shannon and the amazing Betty Gilpin as the Garfields, and Tom Wambsgans as Charles Guiteau! Matthew Macfadyen is certainly not the first person who I'd think of to play crazy-ass Guiteau, but I'm sure he'll be incredible because he's always great. Plus, Matt Ross is really good too -- as a director and as an actor -- so I'm glad to hear he's involved.

Please get made, "Death by Lightning".

Megadeth - Lucretia

[nobodys-soldier]

It was late at night, and in an alleyway in London there was a woman, who had just killed a person. This wasn't the first time Lucretia did this, of course, she'd done this for almost 4 centuries, she needed materials for her paint after all. Now to get the body in the body bag, that was the difficult part.

Elias pauses as he walks, briefly taking the cigarette out of his mouth as he spots her. He watches in silence for a moment before popping it back in.

“Need some help, ma’am?”

this is a random ask but i had to know

can your ocs+harrie, snape, &voldy play any instruments/sing? (excluding dove&astrea with piano)

in my head your snape definitely play some kind of string instruments like cello/violin or back in his younger days in cokeworth at least trying out some guitars in a music shop

freya extra ahh i can pictured her playing with harp or some kind of instruments she found abroad somewhere

harrie…my guess is she can’t play any lol(okay, maybe at least a melodica?) i can imagined a scene, pre hogwarts when she’s 8/9 yo had to be pulled out from mandatory school choir because her atrocious tone-deaf voice XD (am i too cruel?)

did i get some right?

thank you for even considering to answer this ask haha

I love random! (and sorry for keeping this in my inbox for ages 😅 Life has been pretty turbulent lately)

Nah, I doubt Harrie has any musical talent whatsoever lol I was forced to learn how to play the recorder in primary school, is that a thing in the uk too? Then that, maybe. But more likely than not she couldn't practice at home because it annoyed her aunt and uncle and she sounded like a banshee while playing. She has no ear for rhythm or pitch but that won't stop her from belting out her fave songs in the dorms or common room.

With Severus, I love love love that @tuesdayspectacular's Severus plays the Cello! Snape definitley dabbled in playing bass guitar. he'd never be able to afford one but there was a small run-down record shop just a few streets away. Severus would share his pot (that he convinced some Hufflepuffs to grow in the abandoned Greenhouse 8 and is selling at Hogwarts. To anyone but the Marauders and they are pissed) with the owner and in return be allowed to play around with the few instruments they had for sale. He was planning to save up for a second-hand one after school but then the war sucked him in and Lily died. Now he can't look at his old note sheets without thinking of her.

In 'More than just a Death Eater', a fic I wrote ages ago and will be translating once 'The Weeping of the Songbird' is finished, my OC Theodora O'Brian gifts Severus a bass guitar to their wedding. Later she can convince him to treat himself to an acoustic guitar. He likes playing for her when they have some peace and alone time which doesn't happen much because both their jobs are demanding their attention a lot.

The image of Severus with a harmonica is intriguing 🤔 It would suit him to be freakishly good at playing it and pulling it out in the breaks when he's bored/nervous and needs to have something to do with his fingers (Theodor of course is down to be that something but young sevvy is a bit prudish, no public make out sessions :((). He would have stolen it from a classmate back in primary school, just like his skateboard, at learnt to play it just out of spite. And to annoy his father.

And ofc Severus sang in his church's choir! The church had a programm for the poorer families of Cocksworth. They paid the kids who'd sing in the choir a bit of money. They knew the families would never accept handouts and getting the kids off the street after school to practice was good as well due to the high crime rate. In 'A Servant of Death' and 'Carrying Atlas' that ended rather tragic for Severus though 🥲.

Freya plays the piano and violin. It's the standard education for all pureblood girls (alongside dance and ballet) in my fics. She hasn't really touched either, or any other insturment for that matter, since her mum's death and her father started treating her so horribly. It reminds her too much of life before that tragic day and she can't ever have that time back so she'd rather not dwell on it.

Dove, as you said plays the piano, she's decent at the violin but not exceptional which in her house means she's terrible. I like to think she has an almost angelic singing voice. Her children love listeninig to her sing while she works or cooks. And Severus of course too!

Astrea too plays the piano and violin. She has had a singing teacher since she could talk. Her parents love listening to her in the evening after dinner. Narcissa and Astrea often play together. And we all know Voldy likes to hear his little songbird sing as well 😏

With Voldemort I like to think he used the Room of Requirments and taught himself how to play the piano to fit in with the pureblood crowd but he wouldn't have had any access to instruments before that and would soon lose interest too for the sake of learning more about dark magic and magic in general.

I think that was all of them and I didn't miss anyone 🤣

The Death By Lightning casting was updated. Any thoughts on Shea Whigham as Conkling and Bradley Whitford as Blaine?

I'm a huge fan of both Shea Whigham and Bradley Whitford, so I'm all for them being involved even if I don't see either of them as Conkling and Blaine. I'm just glad that the series is being stretched out enough to include Roscoe Conkling and James G. Blaine. Also, Kate Chase Sprague and Blanche Bruce! If we're getting Kate Chase Sprague as a major character, that means it's probably going to get into her relationship with Conkling...and any story featuring more Roscoe Conkling is bound to be entertaining.

Also, is there a law that was passed that requires Michael Shannon and Shea Whigham to always be cast together? I'm not complaining. I like both actors. I'm just curious.

Real pain is one of your faves having very little screentime and being often interpreted as abusive and a bad parent (this is about Donatella Aquato)

When I first got into PN I was initially very iffy about her and the passive aggressive comments she makes but after thinking about it a little harder it's like "oh wait I understand you now. You're kind of a girlboss actually" and it all escalated from there. I love characters like that actually. I just wish that parental figures in media could be realistically flawed and not have a legion of people scream "ABUSE!!!!" whenever they make a Reasonable Human Mistake™
