people saying that Jonathan and Charithra should be Disney Rapunzel x Flynn and seeing Johnny hair today I can see it my god can I see it and since CC x JB had such amazing chemistry and sexual tension in s2 like what’s stopping them need it now! It could so work bc Em X Dan did Beauty & Beast same age as them now!

Personally I want Luke T bc I’m bedwina shipper first and human second! Since I couldn’t bedwina I want to see them be in love somewhere else + Ben character is basically how Flynn character is so Luke don’t need to try a new acting style just do what he does now as FR!

Hi all!! For those of you who don’t know me, My name is Ella Griffin, I’m a 24 year old trans woman based in south florida. For the last four years, I’ve been working on a super special project that I’m beyond thrilled to share with you all: my debut novel, The White Liar. As a big fan of fantasy books, I’ve felt for a long time that there’s a serious lack of authentic trans representation in the genre. For years, I yearned for even just one iconic transfem hero in a high fantasy setting. The White Liar is my attempt to fill that gap in the literary canon.

As a bit of background, I am a massive fan of hard fantasy books with an epic scope and in-depth magic systems; such as Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere books or Ursula Le Guin’s Earthsea series. I’m also a big fan of gothic literature and character-driven classics like Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables and Anna Karenina, all of which have played an influence on this book. The White Liar’s setting is heavily inspired by celtic folklore, mythology and history with a feminist twist.

It’s a world where fae creatures range from tiny glowing insectoids to massive flying mounts and even humanoid beings. Yet, even the tiniest of these has the potential to unlock unfathomable magical potential through the art of Serimancy! Serimancy, the primary magic system of the book, gives users the ability to transmute or ‘spin’ the silk made by fae creatures into supernatural strength, telekinetic threads, and twelve other distinctive powers. Think Rumplestiltskin spinning straw into gold, but more vaporwave.

Without giving too much away, the book features a diverse cast of characters from all different backgrounds, including transfem, transmasc, nonbinary, aspec and disabled characters, although those aspects don’t always define their motives or character arcs. Mainly, The White Liar is a book about the nature of truth and identity; the ways in which our environment affects how we perceive those things, and the friction that creates with our own perception.

I would also characterize the book as a gaslamp fantasy like the Mistborn series or the video game Lies of P, with a baroque/art nouveau-meets-Bridgerton 19th century aesthetic. I’m a 100% independent author with a summary $0 budget publishing through kindle direct, and flat broke, so I would highly appreciate any and all support with this project, be it word of mouth or otherwise. The cover art is a digital painting created entirely by me and is canon to the book!

Thank you so, so much for giving me your time and attention. This book is my love letter to the queer community and I truly hope someone somewhere finds it hopeful or inspiring like I’ve found with the works that inspire me.

The White Liar is available now on E-book here:

Interview with Wo What Wear (2024)

It feels like the tornado at the beginning of The Wizard of Oz, and if I've still got my ruby slippers on at the end, I'll be happy," Jonathan Bailey says, flashing that famous grin. The actor and current internet boyfriend is, of course, referencing the whirlwind that has been the Wicked press tour—a three-week-long global extravaganza where many (happy) tears were shed, memes were born, and the fashion, including a special pair of short shorts, had everyone talking. I'm catching Bailey on a Friday afternoon during a rare bit of downtime en route to JFK Airport. Destination: London for the film's final stop and premiere. For this Brit at this moment, there's no place like home.

He's exhausted—rightfully so—but still in great spirits, and I can happily say at the time of writing this article that all the promotional hustle and bustle from the cast has paid off dividends. Jon M. Chu's big-screen adaptation of the wildly popular 2003 stage musical is a certified hit with audiences, generating over $350 million globally and becoming one of the year's most successful debuts. The soundtrack is also smashing records.

Wicked is the finale to what has been a banner year for Bailey, which kicked off with an Emmy nomination for his spectacular performance in the historical miniseries Fellow Travelers. It also saw his return as Viscount Anthony Bridgerton in the continuous hit machine that is Bridgerton; the launch of his LGBTQ+ charity The Shameless Fund, which supports the community through global creative collaborations; and the filming of his next movie project, 2025's summer blockbuster Jurassic World Rebirth.

For the moment, Bailey is fully in what he tells me is his "Winkie era"—a nod to his Wicked character Prince Fiyero, who will leave you swooning with one bat of the eye or, at the very least, breaking out into song and dance. I can attest that the actor is every bit as charismatic and charming in real life as his on-screen counterpart, so it's easy to see why Bailey was a shoo-in for the film's lovable heartthrob.

Bailey's excitement for playing Fiyero was twofold. While the character is inherently lean on the page, there was a lot of complexity for Bailey to discover within the lyrics of his two musical numbers, "Dancing Through Life" and his duet with Elphaba later in part two. It was also an opportunity to come back to his earliest passions in life—singing and dancing—which he gave up on at a young age to pursue sports. Growing up, the actor was struck by iconic male dancing in film, naming Fred Astaire, John Travolta, and Patrick Swayze as big inspirations. There's no denying Bailey's talent as he performs "Dancing Through Life," a remarkable sequence of vocals and acrobatics that required bootcamp-level training from the actor. That, combined with the more emotional moments with Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, leaves you wanting more. His performance even earned a special stamp of approval. "Norbert Leo Butz, a hero of mine, sent me a text saying that I'm very much welcomed into the brotherhood of Fiyero, which I'm very, very proud of," Bailey shares.

Reflecting on the entire experience, Bailey is feeling eternally grateful and lucky for the opportunity to be a part of such a big cultural moment. "I probably wouldn't have been able to do it 10 years before, and obviously because of Bridgerton, I think it was the perfect time for me to be the right person for the job," he says.

Now, what's next?

I ask if he has a strong desire to run in the opposite direction after doing a big-budget movie like Wicked. Bailey's answer? "Yeah, definitely!"

Looking ahead to February, Bailey is set to play the titular character in Nicholas Hytner's stage production of Richard II. "I thought maybe Richard II onstage felt as far removed as you could go," he laughs. Theater is where the actor got his start, and it continues to be a grounding place for him. "Going back to the stage always feels, to me, like a creative reset because you are going back to the craft, and it's a very honed and creative adventure where you have to guide your body through it, and it's academic," he says. Bailey is the consummate student, always learning, nipping, and tucking his craft.

Richard II not only marks Bailey's highest-profile Shakespeare role to date but also reunites the star with Hytner, whose 2013 production of Othello at the National Theatre featured the actor as Cassio. "Him offering me the part of Cassio in Othello in the room was, for me, my big break," Bailey says of the theater director. "At that point in my life, I definitely thought I was more of a Roderigo, so to be offered Cassio was an example of [how] you have to learn what other people see in you."

Following Richard II, Bailey will return to the big screen with Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in Jurassic World Rebirth, playing paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis. A passing of the torch from Wicked co-star Jeff Goldblum, perhaps? We'll have to wait and see, but Bailey does call Goldblum's Jurassic Park character Dr. Malcolm the "rizz king" and credits the actor's performances for keeping him "enthralled and titillated." "If I can achieve half of what he did in the original Jurassic, I'll be very happy," he adds.

What Bailey can say about his own experience at this time is how excited he is to be joining the major franchise given how deeply nostalgic it is for him. Jurassic Park was the first film Bailey saw in the cinema with his family. He gets goosebumps thinking back on that time. "I just remember feeling so alive," he says. "It's a bit like Wicked [and] going back to singing and dancing. [I'm] now going back to one of these iconic experiences that I found so inspiring then, to be able to infiltrate that world." To say Bailey is excited about this movie would be an understatement. "The idea of the John Williams theme playing under trotting through some grass fields chasing a dinosaur, you can't get more mind-blowing and eye-popping than that," he says.

It suddenly dawns on Bailey that he's in his 30th year of acting. The 36-year-old has been performing for the majority of his life, and considering all that he's done in his career thus far, it feels like the world is his oyster in terms of what he can do next. So what strikes his fancy these days? "Honestly, it feels like romance. You get butterflies or something happens, a little twinge. I just can't put my finger on it," he says. Swoon.

Bailey circles back to an earlier comment about Hytner seeing something in him that he didn't see himself. That's what he's constantly chasing. "To be scooped up by someone who can see a performance in you that you're not really aware of and to be guided by them in their own world and in their own vision excites me," Bailey says.

Reading a part he hasn't seen before or seen an actor like himself play before, filling those spaces, and finding those cubby holes—that is the genius of Jonathan Bailey. With each new project, he continues to surprise and delight.

The Importance of Being Earnest @ Lyttelton Theatre (NT) │ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I have seen a lot of productions put on by the National Theatre over the years, and they are all of the highest quality. However this revival of Oscar Wilde's classic and renowned farce may be one of the best productions I have ever had the joy of seeing.

I always worry when I see that a show is completely sold out before the previews, it seemed like getting a seat for The Importance Of Being Earnest was the hot ticket of the west end (and the previews hadn't even started yet!)

I got into the auditorium and was greeted by this humongous and extravagant set that seemed like it had been ripped out of Bridgerton and plonked onto the Lyttelton Stage. The suspended handbag in front of the opening curtain also got some chuckles from the arriving spectators who got the reference. As the curtain rises we see Ncuti Gatwa's Algernon sat at the piano in a pink dress (which got some cheers from his fanbase present), we see the portrayal of one of the central themes of the play- that of the double life. I have to say that Webster's decision to turn up the campness of this play from around a four to a ten is a superbly successful choice that really does make the production unique.

I am such a big fan of Ncuti Gatwa, he is an incredibly talented performer who brings his own twist to every role he plays. His portrayal of Algernon is splendid, an upper class young man who will not be constrained by the barriers and order of society. His on-stage bromance with his friend Jack/John Worthing, played by the hilarious Hugh Skinner, is very comedic and they play off each other very well. Hugh Skinner seems perfect for the role of Jack and he completely steals the show in certain scenes mostly due to his clever comedic expression and over exaggerated gestures. Ronkẹ Adékọluẹ́jọ́ is a joy to watch as Gwendolen Fairfax, especially toward the end of the play as it seems she grows into the role and some of her facial expressions had me howling with laughter. Eliza Scanlen plays Jack's ward Cecily and she plays it excellently as well, the characters childish remarks pair well with Scanlens portrayal and her ad libbed line in the final scene received riotous laughter!

Then finally is the amazing Sharon D Clarke as Lady Bracknell, I love their choice to have Bracknell with a carribean accent as it truly does make some of her already iconic lines even better! Everything from her posture all the way to the way she walks onto the stage to introduce herself to the audience is perfect and the whole audience knows it too with a loud cheer to greet her as she comes on stage.

I almost forgot to mention Julian Bleach's masterclass in physical comedy as Merriman and Lane (he was also an audience favourite) and Richard Cant and Amanda Lawrence's unashamedly awkward relationship as Reverend Canon and Miss Prism. All three deliver superb performances to accompany the main cast in this comedic triumph.

MY VERDICT:

As the curtain rose and the actors came out I was in absolute awe of what I had watched. I was worried that some of the jokes would fly over my teenage head but was delighted when they slapped me right around the face and left me giggling the entire performance! The National Theatre have managed to assemble the perfect cast, who compliment each other in every possible way and completely deserve the sold out run that they have received.

Max Webster's direction steers this revival in the right direction completely, alongside the lavish set and costume of Rae Smith. It is a brilliant production that will live long in my memory!

Whilst I wish I could name them all my 3 standout performers were Ncuti Gatwa, Sharon D Clarke and Julian Bleach

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Importance Of Being Earnest is playing at the Lyttelton theatre until the 25th January, whilst most nights are sold out there are often returns so I urge you to keep checking! After its run in the theatre it will be in cinemas from February 2025.
