#alyce update

[farfromsugafanfic]

I apologize for the inactivity as of late. My life is in the process of changing majorly (and likely for the better, but it is going to be hard for a while). I’m going to try and at least get a reaction up this week.

Even though this change is good, I am still an anxious and depressed mess, even on my meds. It’s slowly getting better and I promise I have not abandoned y’all.

I also am thinking about opening up commissions. However, I do not think I could handle long ones. Would y’all still find say a 1K smut, angst, fluff, etc. scene worth it? Would you be interested if I offered commissions?

If you want to support me otherwise, my kofi is linked in the pinned post. I do not expect any monetary gain from my writing here, I will post regardless.

Thanks for reading and I’ll update soon 💜

My cat, Katherine is not doing so well again. She needs more medicine and is still getting blood work every two weeks. Any help is appreciated, as she is keeping my spirits up as I work through my cancer diagnosis. Thank you.

Watch List- English Language Movies (Latest Update Nov. 6, 2024)

My extensive movies list. Not numbered because tumblr has a character limit in blocks of text that affect numbered lists apparently, but fyi before you open the read more there are 300+ entries in this list.

Because of the sheer number of things I want to watch I’m separating my watch list posts into four categories. I keep them separate primarily for organization so I can decide what to watch based different variables (mood, time, language, etc)

I’m pretty much constantly adding things to all of my lists- hence why I’m amending when this was last updated to the title itself- and will update this post anytime I update the wheel I use to randomize my next choice, which usually happens after I’ve added or subtracted a significant number of options.

It might go without saying that Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia would not suffer to see her daughters unable to defend themselves with a blade, and hardly less so the Prince Consort; so as soon as they had been old enough to hold a wooden practice sword, both girls had been thoroughly drilled in armed combat. Odette had inherited the lion’s share of her parents’ talent and passion for swordplay and was quickly becoming one of the most promising young warriors in the castle - her mother had not hesitated to give her blessing for Odette to undertake a knight’s training, and under her father’s proud guidance, she was well on her way to earning her spurs.

Princess Odette is a remarkable swordswoman - but she is about to finally meet her match.

[lightleckrereins]

Six the musical Australia 2021 costume update

This is a quick overview of the costumes as things are mostly unchanged from 2020.

So details under the cut:

(@/larajanephotography, @/sixthemusicalau)

Aragon: 2020 Chloe Zuel and 2021 Phoenix Jackson Mendoza. Aragon is the only queen to get a full costume upgrade. Chloe had the old design and Phoenix the new one. The new costue seems to be made with yellow holo vinyl instead of the usual gold. Phoenix might be wearing Chloe's earrings.

(@/larajanephotography, @/sixthemusicalau)

Boleyn: Kala gare. Kala is wearing her 2020 costume which has been updated with studs on the cutouts and tabs to look closer to the boleyn redesign.

(@/larajanephotography, @/sixthemusicalau)

Seymour: Loren Hunter. Loren is wearing her 2020 costume with no apparent changes.

(@/larajanephotography, @/sixthemusicalau)

Cleves: Kiana Danielle. Kiana is wearing her 2020 costume with no apparent changes.

(@/larajanephotography, @/sixthemusicalau)

Howard: 2020 Courtney Monsma and 2021 Chelsea Dawson. Chelsea's costume is in the same style as Courtney's with some minor changes: she has only one pair of crossed laces on the collar instead of two and her waistband has a second row of studs. Her ponytail is curly and seems to be on the shorter side. This costume might have been made or at least started in 2020 as Chelsea was cast to replace Courtney last year.

(@/larajanephotography, @/sixthemusicalau)

Parr: Vidya Makan. Vidyais wearing her 2020 costume with no apparent changes.

(@/sixthemusicalau)

Black alt: Karis Oka. Karis is wearing her 2020 costume with no apparent changes. She should still have the pants and Howard skirt variations. She has a Howard chocker and ponytail and she might have aditional hairpieces and a boleyn chocker.

(@/sixthemusicalau)

Teal alt: Shannen Alyce Quan. Shannen is wearing her 2020 costume with no apparent changes. She should still have the Boleyn and Seymour skirt variations with boleyn sleeves. She might have chockers or hairpieces for different queens.

(@/sixthemusicalau)

Orange alt: 2020 Ella Burns and 2021 Chiara Assetta. Chiara seems to be wearing Ella's top and sleeveswith a new peplum and possibly a new pair of pants. She might also be wearing Ella's Cleves costume or at least parts of it. Her boots are new and she seems to be wearing Ella's earrings. She might have hairpieces for different queens

I am taking you up on that post about sending asks about your OCs

Where did Alyce learn how to cook tomatoes?

I really want some information on how ONM!Karu managed to set a watermelon on fire

Why does Alyce only know how to cook tomatoes? They are several hundred years old and are living alone. Has she been eating nothing but cooked tomatoes?

What exactly does Ava do as an archivist? what are they archiving? and for what purpose?

Wooo! Okay so:

Alyce cooking tomatoes is something that happens in the next update of 317RE (whenever in the next 3-26 months that's released). Essentially, if you go back and read you might be able to see some of the set up for that in the current chapter, Vera is.... a character, that's for sure.

Essentially, the breakfast thing is something that Ree arranges semi-regularly, it's how they filter into little roles so easily. I haven't read this fic in a while, but essentially, I think Karu usually does the cereals and fruit and yoghurt. Personally I think he just got bored and was like "hey there are like 20 watermelon here. what if i tried to light one on fire?". There are a few other elements like him trying to cook it on a stove and that one time he essentially fried it and melted it into sludge. The others were not amused.

In the TDC, there are a few ways to get meals, right? So you can either magic up something, if you're good at that sort of thing, which:

"“Yeah.” Alyce agreed quietly. They approached the food stalls. “You know, usually I don’t eat the normal food, I just enchant something up and then eat that instead. I never particularly needed to get something from someone else.”

“What, you wanted to flex your magic?” Vera teased, approaching a stand and tracing the runes for the menu.

“No- I…” Alyce paused, trying to understand her own logic. “I didn’t want to be controllable by anyone but myself. I wanted to be independent, so if everyone leaves me or hurts me, I can survive.” They went back to tracing runes. "

So essentially, there are food packages sent out on missions and such, which, if you remember here: "“Besides, most of the time when you’re on a mission, or a hunt, you end up getting a bunch of meals sent to you where they try to hide the instructions, and they also always just end up slipping little sheets of paper wrapped in foil inside your little portion of lasagna.” 

This time, Valentine actually laughed. “True.”

“Sometimes you’ll take someone’s meal and then you’ll realise that they’ve sent instructions for the other guy to kill you and they’ll have your meal with similar instructions, and you’ll realise just how bored the message writers must be.”

“Once I was on a mission and they sent me a message that translated into “Bring us back some maccas” because I was in an Earth universe and they hadn’t been there for quite a few years.” 

“Yep, sounds like the message writers.”"

Also Alyce is very good with a kettle and was vegetarian for a while, so they used to make pasta and cooked tomatoes and put pre-bought cheese that randomly appeared in her fridge on that, and she just ate that a bunch.

Okay so the TDC is kinda funky, in the shape that a lot of the things they do don't have a clear meaning, they're just sorta there to make sure that you don't go insane and try to conquer the world or whatever. The archivist position is to manage and save the narrations of the branches of universes they supervise. Only a very very very very very very very very very very extremely extremely so-small-it-doesn't-even-exist-on-a-chart amount of universes can actually be watched due to the rule of infinites but yeah. So, essentially, the narration that Valentine makes that sounds like the normal story goes straight to Ava. However, Ava's true significance is being one of the only people known who can access the GlRe and the only one with..... essentially admin abilities to it.

THANKS FOR THE ASK!! (What fic series are you talking about? This one.

[dailylgbtmusicals]

shannen alyce quan uses she/they and i think they are non-binary

You’re correct, and we almost got that one right- if you look closely at the most recent dreamcast with them, you can see that it’s the nb and the bi flag. So we got part of the way on updating their listing, but not all the way. Thank you for catching that for us, we’ll do better in the future.

Tuesday 7th of November

Dating site – Woo plus, for plus size people or people who are attracted to bigger people. 🍑

Ok so I rematched (I was off this site for a bit) with Let’s call him J he is from Melbourne & is my type physically 🔥 he is 33 into spirituality (green flag) is career driven, here is a glimpse of his profile. No I won’t be sharing his photo as I’m pretty sure that’s illegal 😂 and I’d feel soooo uncomfortable if someone shared mine on a blog.

We were talking about what we were doing today and he said he was going out for lunch and drinks. I replied with “oh a date?” He said that he wishes & it was just with a friend. I shoot my shot & said “you could always take me out of a date” to which he replied he would love to & when am I free… I’ve just replied next weekend.

Sweet heart on paper right?!

Anyway I’ve just reached out and asked if he has Snapchat or something we can talk on a bit more consistently.

I’ll keep you updated.

Status - Living in Freeside, working as a bodyguard-for-hire for the Kings.

[six-costume-refs]

Do we know what’s going on with the crowns across the different productions?

It seems that some queens still use the old style crowns (Liv, Shannen, Chiara, Lauren Drew, Cassy, etc using the old Aragon crowns or Jen, Harriet, etc using the old single band short S/P crown) while some have the new ones (ex Jen Aragon).

Also with the alt Aragon crown, we have two new designs: the single band crown (Collette, Zara) and double band (Rachel, Nat, Jen).

The Seymour crown situation is also weird as to why some Seymours have a white crown vs black…

Can you please try to make sense of all this? Along with this, do we know how many different types of crowns the different productions are using right now, excluding retired designs like the Maiya?

Okay, so on the last question I don’t have all that info yet, but @lightleckrereins and I have a crowns masterpost long in progress that will answer it once it is finished.

The shorter answer for a lot of this is just that Six is in a bit of a weird period with costumes/hair and wigs/crowns. The current costumes system started very small in 2018 and the show grew really exponentially and unexpectedly, which they hadn’t originally planned for. 2019-2020 was then an era full of a lot of experimentation and a lot of changes as the show grew and they brought in different people and teams to try and manage that, who then made different decisions for different productions. Over lockdown they seem to have gotten together and started really deciding to standardize things, which is how we started getting newer designs (costumes, wigs, and hair) with the 2021 Broadway production or the 2021 West End cast change. However, those are both from times when they had to remake everything! They still have a lot of cast members from pre-lockdown in their old costumes, wigs, and crowns That’s why they still have a lot of older pieces left over from that phase in 2019 in addition to the shiny new 2021 designs/changes. A lot of those older versions will be phased out eventually, like Aus/UKT having old costume designs, but that probably won’t be until the next cast changes and/or those costume pieces (including crowns) need to be replaced.

Another major factor is that ultimately, as much as we talk about increasing standardization, Six still has different people working on different productions. At least 4-5+ costume shops worked on their costumes for current productions and 3-4 different teams working on crowns, and there are several costume associates that all work on different productions. As a result there are still going to be some changes even within the general standardization we’re seeing.

As far as specific examples/questions you asked about:

- Chiara Assetta, Shannen Alyce Quan: Australia is, from what I’ve seen, still using their 2019/2020 crowns. Those already had some differences from other productions due to accommodating hairstyle changes.

- Cassandra Lee/Jennifer Caldwell Aragon crowns, Lauren Drew, Harriet Watson/Natalie Pilkington Seymour crowns: Current crowns are a mix of old 2019-20 and newer crowns made for the 2020 (cancelled) and 2021 productions as needed. All of the old designs that you’re commenting on are older crowns. Jennifer and Natalie Pilkington both wear the updated Aragon style; I’ve been assuming this is related to their wig style but that’s purely speculation and it may be for a totally different reason (also keep in mind that the UK alts generally seem to share crowns, so Nat/Jen probably have the same new one and Cassy is presumably still using her old one).

- Zara MacIntosh/Collette Guitart/Rachel Rawlinson: Zara/Collette vs Rachel is probably just a change made to design. Like I mentioned with Nat/Jen, it’s also likely that Zara/Collette shared a crown and the single row may have been to accommodate Zara’s hairstyle.

- Liv Alexander: I’m going off of memory with this one so I may not be entirely correct, but she seemed to have one crown that she used for both Aragon and Cleves. It was an old style and probably an old crown used by a former queen - they needed one that wasn’t currently in use so that she could travel between the productions without accidentally taking anyone else’s. Probably didn’t make her entirely new ones because they knew she’d only be with the productions for a short period of time.

- Black vs white Seymour crowns: This is a decision that is mostly going to be up to associates, but it seems like the general guideline is that blonde/light hair = white band while darker hair = black band. White band was probably just because they liked the look of it for Abby Mueller, and then why they go back and forth depending on the queen is just based on limiting really stark color variance. Let me note that that’s specific to actors wearing the principal-style costume - so far all of the actors in alt costumes have exclusively had a black Seymour crown because it works better with all the alt costumes (no white on alt costumes, so white would look out of place on the crown).

Hope that’s helpful!
