      Sienna Dyer, Natalia's little sister, loved her older sister's friends, and they loved her. She'd grown close to all of them as Nat's character progressed in the show, and she thought, easily, that her best friend, before Season 4, was Noah and Millie. They still were, but for some reason, Sienna and Gwydion Lashlee-Walton, AKA Gareth Emerson, were closer now. 

Over time, she realized she was in love with him. 

      Apparently, it was obvious to a few people: Natalia and Maya, Finn, both Joes, Gaten, and Sadie and Noah and Millie. Gwydion and Sienna didn't see it. If they did, they didn't speak about it. She was nervous and shy, and he wasn't wanting to ruin what they already had. 

"Gwydion!" Sienna sang, hugging the boy as he sat at the fake Hellfire table during a break in scenes. Last year, Sienna got cast as Eddie's "estranged sister," Hannah. "Hi." Gwydion laughed, hugging her awkwardly, as he had to reach up instead of around. He grinned, big and dopey, and Gaten snorted, making Finn smirk. "What?" Gwydion and Sienna tilted their heads, and Caleb shook his head, "Wow."       As the break ended, Sienna was aware of Gwydion, like she always was, and thought, I'm gonna do it, right after this scene pack. She stayed in character very well for being distracted, trying to figure out what to say. When the scene pack ended, she walked up to Gwydion, talking to Gaten and Finn. "Can I talk to you?" She blurted, and Gwydion blinked. "Okay." He didn't ask anything as she led him a little ways away. "So...we're friends, right?" She started, and Gwydion nodded. "Yeah, why?"  "I like you." She said, avoiding his gaze. "I have for a long time. Like, I'm In Love with you," She whispered, making emphasis on "in love." She didn't know how much courage she had left, so she needed to hurry. "I wanna know if you feel the same, and if you do, cool. If not, I'm sorry for bothering--" He swept forwards, kissing her, and she shut up.  "YES!" They heard Gaten shout. "THEY DID IT!" "Hell yeah!" Finn yelled.  Gwydion and Sienna laughed as they pulled away. "Fan club much?" Gwydion pretended to glare, then turned to Sienna. "If it's okay with you, I wanna take you out to a movie." "When?" Sienna asked breathlessly.  "Tomorrow night?" She smirked, kissing him shortly. "It's a date!"

A summary is that it is Verne's and Jules fever dream (they are so sick they share a dream), who take place of Wirt and Greg.

During the dream, they encounter many characters that remind them of the people they know.

The school teacher - Clara (also a Brown... Coincidence? I THINK NOT) with that comes to the relationship of the school teacher and Jimmy Brown. Well, The school teacher reminded me of Clara after Doc told the truth about him being a time traveler.

Woodsman - another doc reference, this time just the voice and more of nature of his. Also made a post of them on my deleted tumblr.

Woodsman's daughter - MARTY.

Beatrice - my and my friends oc Emerson, who's backstory is that she left her family at a young age.

Future au

(Mine and my friends)

Set in 2015, with Emma and Evan being Verne's kids, Caleb being adopted Jules kid.

Jules is a teacher and Verne is a writer/artist.

The kids get along with Marlene and Marty Jr very well.

Evan Brown

Clara Witch Au

again, it's in the name, inspired by the animated series episode "Witchcraft". Marty finds out about her being a witch first during bttf 3 and tries to warn doc, who of course, does not listen. Marty also thinks that Clara used some sort of Love potion and so he becomes a protective bestie.

Time Lord doc Au

again, the name. BUT. He lives in Clock Tower and Marty goes there as a dare. There were rumors of it being haunted, but you know. Marty is not a chicken, does what the rumors say to do (like a mini ritual). At first the Time Lord seems irratated and annoyed. But he seems cool :')

Very steampunk-y

REDRAW

Actually, I can expand on any of these, just ask away! Thank you for reading all of this!!!!

[cakepoppresent]

Emerson: Myla You can't disrespect me like this, the entire town is talking about how they saw you and Caleb fucking Vatore all over town.

Myla: my God get over yourself, you won't make me feel bad about actually feeling something for once. We had an AGREEMENT, don't act like you care.

Emerson: My god are you hearing yourself, You're A WIFE AND MOTHER. You have a son at home, what happens when he goes to school and the kids start talking.

Myla: Listen, leave my son out of this and YOU stay out of my business like we agreed we have until Gideon is in university. leave me alone.

Emerson: You are a complete MESS, Listen. you better control yourself and stop embarrassing this family, or we are going to have issues. This is the first and last time I'm saying this.

Gideon is sick and tired of hearing his parents fight, it's been like this for as long as he can remember. He can't figure out why they can't just get along. He needs to get out of the house...the only person he can think of to see right now is Grayson

The Chariot: Issue XVIII

A Decade of Recognition: The Impact of the Ross Awards

By: Fabiola Quinteiro Original Publication Date: 31 October 2024

The Ross Awards, established in 2014, originally aimed to honor excellence in film, yet its first ceremonies revealed a significant lack of diversity. In the beginning, every nominee and winner was White, sparking criticism about its limited representation.

Over time, this lack of inclusivity drew increasing scrutiny from both the public and the entertainment industry. In response, the Ross Committee was formed in 2020 to address these issues directly. Under the leadership of Hans Neumann, the committee was tasked with promoting a more diverse selection of nominees, encompassing a wider range of backgrounds, race, and perspectives in the awards process.

This year is the tenth anniversary of the Ross Awards and is celebrated as the most diverse yet, reflecting years of incremental change. Less than half of this year's nominees are White, with over a quarter representing minority groups, including Black, Native American, and Latino actors. Avatar: The Last Airbender made history as the most nominated film, while the ceremony also marks the first time Native American actors have been recognized in multiple acting categories.

Still, Latino representation remains a challenge, as Society of the Snow, a film with a majority Latino cast, received no nominations, and Menendez, another Latino-centered story, saw two-thirds of its acting nominations go to White actors. Despite these issues, this year's nominees represents a shift toward more inclusive storytelling, building momentum for future progress.

This year also marks the first nomination for Vanessa Harding (Best Actress, Becoming Madam Secretary) since her historic win with Mademoiselle in 2019, bringing her total to seven nominations, tied with Caleb Adams for the most in Ross Awards history. Over the last five years, she faced a challenging landscape despite her dedication to creating films that explored women's empowerment with much of her previous works being criticized for presenting narratives that prioritized a White perspective over the voices of marginalized communities, particularly in her films Frontline (2021) and A Woman in Arabia (2023). Acknowledging this feedback, Vanessa has shifted her storytelling approach, actively working to amplify the contributions of women of color while ensuring that the stories of marginalized groups are told by their own communities.

The Ross Committee has been instrumental in fostering this change. Led by Hans Neumann, the committee has focused on eliminating bias and reducing nepotism within the awards, emphasizing the importance of recognizing diverse stories and creators. Under Hans's leadership, the Ross Awards reached milestones like last year's wins for Richelle Paisley, the first Black Best Actress winner, and Faisal Mansouri, the first Middle Eastern Best Actor winner. Now as Hans prepares to step down, his departure has opened conversations within the industry about who will take on this important role. Many believe that appointing a person of color could further the Ross Committee's mission of championing equity, ensuring that the awards continue evolving toward true inclusivity and representation in film.

This year's Ross Awards ceremony also marks a pivotal moment for Hollywood as it will announce the next president. Emerson Wright, who has significantly influenced the industry the last five years, will officially step down on January 2025. During the ceremony, the next president will be revealed in a highly-anticipated moment, with contenders including Kimona Lange, Dubois Carmichael, and Julian Lunacharski.

Wakefield Maddow Elected as President of the Ross Committee

By: Fabiola Quinteiro Original Publication Date: 6 November 2024

The recent Ross Committee election has sparked significant discussion in the entertainment industry, as five ambitious candidates vied for the prestigious role of committee president. With Hans Neumann stepping down after four years of service, this election marks a significant shift in the committee’s leadership. Ultimately, Wakefield Maddow emerged victorious, becoming the first elected Black president in the entertainment industry. His election signifies a promising step toward diversity and modernization within the Ross Committee.

The Ross Committee, responsible for overseeing the annual Ross Awards has faced mounting pressure to bring fresh perspectives and diversity to its leadership. This shift is largely fueled by recent calls within Hollywood to promote inclusivity, transparency, and representation across all levels. Maddow’s election, therefore, aligns closely with these goals and has been widely celebrated as a progressive move for the entertainment industry.

The field of candidates included several notable figures, each with unique qualifications and ties to the industry. Godfrey Howard, the current Chief of Staff under outgoing President Hans Neumann, faced significant challenges despite his extensive experience. Though highly knowledgeable about committee operations, Howard’s close association with the established leadership and his lack of popularity in the movement for diversity worked against him, with many voters seeking a fresh face to lead the committee forward.

Adessa Polanski also drew considerable attention. As the daughter of Neal Polanski, the former Vice President of Hollywood Studios, she carries a complicated legacy. Her father’s career ended amid accusations of corruption, racism, and nepotism, casting a shadow over her candidacy. While Adessa has established herself as an independent figure, many questioned her ability to bring meaningful change to an industry still grappling with her father’s controversial impact.

Julia Lombardi entered the race with strong connections, running as Vice President alongside Julian Lunacharski in his campaign for President of Hollywood Studios. Her simultaneous involvement in both the Ross Committee election and Lunacharski’s campaign raised concerns among voters. Many wondered if her focus was on enacting meaningful change or simply securing a position of power. This divided commitment led some to doubt if Lombardi genuinely aimed to drive change within either organization or if she was more interested in climbing the ranks of Hollywood’s leadership.

Two other candidates, Cairene Langdon and Wakefield Maddow, represented a new generation of leaders. Both are recent graduates from Lawrence Harland University’s Leadership in the Entertainment Industry program. Langdon’s experience included internships within Hollywood Studios, while Maddow worked as a production assistant with Cygna Entertainment while pursuing his studies. Despite their relatively recent entry into the industry, both Langdon and Maddow demonstrated a strong understanding of industry operations and modern leadership principles, which appealed to voters eager for change.

In a decisive outcome, Wakefield Maddow was announced as the next president of the Ross Committee, an election celebrated as a significant achievement for diversity and modernity in the entertainment industry. His election marks the first time a Black president has led the Ross Committee, an achievement that many view as a milestone in addressing the longstanding issues of representation within Hollywood’s leadership circles.

Maddow’s first actions as president-elect reflect his commitment to building an inclusive and skilled team. He has named Laszlo Knight as his Vice President and Cairene Langdon as Chief of Staff. Knight, a fellow graduate of Harland University, has extensive experience as a casting assistant with Cygna Entertainment, and his appointment complements Maddow’s vision for the committee. By bringing on Langdon, who possesses deep insights into Hollywood Studios' operations from her internship experience, Maddow strengthens his leadership team with fresh perspectives.

Outgoing president Hans Neumann has expressed his full support for Maddow and announced plans to mentor him over the next several months. Neumann’s guidance will be invaluable as Maddow navigates his early months in office, especially as the Ross Awards quickly approach.

Historic Wins and Leadership Changes at the 2024 Ross Awards

By: Anika Sunisa Original Publication Date: 3 December 2024

The 2024 Annual Ross Awards made history this year with groundbreaking achievements in acting and leadership, celebrating the diverse talent shaping the entertainment industry. Since its founding in 2014, the prestigious ceremony had not seen a Native American Best Actress winner—until this year, when Hialeah Moonshadow was awarded for her role as Katara in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Hialeah spoke to the importance of representation and the need for Native voices to have a stronger presence in Hollywood.

“Representation matters,” she said. “We need to actively create more spaces for Native people in this industry—spaces where we can thrive, where our voices are heard, and where our cultures are portrayed with dignity and respect. Recreating art to reflect accurate portrayals of our histories and identities is always a bet worth making. Our stories matter, and they deserve to be told with care.”

Eliseo Padura also broke barriers as the first Latino recipient of the Best Actor award. His riveting performance as Jose Menendez in Menendez captivated audiences, bringing complexity and humanity to the infamous figure.

In the Best Supporting Actress category, Anya Parrish made history of her own, winning for her role as Leslie Abramson in Menendez. Anya joins the ranks of Tala Evangelista and Evan Tanaka as one of only three actors to win the same Ross Award category twice. She delivered a speech addressing the need to support survivors of sexual abuse and harassment, including men.

“For far too long, male survivors have been dismissed or ignored,” she remarked. “The Menendez brothers weren’t believed when they spoke about the abuse they endured, but today, society is beginning to recognize that men can be victims too. This shift is significant enough to reconsider their sentences and give justice to all survivors, regardless of gender.”

Griffin Alexander became the first openly LGBTQ+ actor to win Best Supporting Actor for his role as Hephaestion in Alexander. In his acceptance speech, Alexander reflected on his journey and expressed his hope for the future of queer storytelling in Hollywood.

“This award isn’t just for me—it’s for everyone who has fought to share their truth,” Griffin said. “I wouldn’t be here without the people who believed in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself. I hope this moment is just the beginning of more queer characters, more LGBTQ+ stories, and more opportunities for our voices to be heard. Representation matters, and it’s time to keep building a more inclusive industry.”

The Ross Awards also featured significant announcements regarding Hollywood Studios' leadership. Outgoing president Emerson Wright announced Dubois Carmichael as President-Elect and will officially assume the role on February 1, 2025. His election marks a historic moment as he becomes the first Black president of Hollywood Studios. His vice president, Elegance Sherwood, also makes history as the first Black woman elected to the role, alongside Irving Stone as chairman.

As the newly elected president of Hollywood Studios, Dubois steps into his role with a clear mission: to build an entertainment industry that values collaboration, diversity, and meaningful representation. His acceptance speech at the Ross Awards resonated with a sense of hope and inclusivity, outlining a vision for a brighter, more equitable future.

“To everyone who has ever felt their voice wasn’t loud enough, their story not big enough, or their place uncertain in this industry, let me say this clearly: there is room for everyone at the table,” he said passionately. “There are enough seats for all of us. Your story matters. Your perspective is needed.”

Dubois expressed confidence that his plans for Hollywood Studios would not only elevate the company but also set a new standard for the entertainment industry as a whole.

“Together, we can usher the entertainment industry into a new era—one where representation isn’t a goal but a reality,” Dubois declared. “I have no doubt that the plans we build together will take Hollywood Studios and our industry to new heights. And when we succeed, it won’t just be because of me—it will be because of us.”

The incoming leadership team plans to focus on inclusivity and innovation, signaling a new era for Hollywood Studios. Dubois's prior role as Chief of Staff at Cygna Entertainment will now be filled by Emmanuel Rajabu, effective immediately.

Emerson Wright will remain in his role until January 31, 2025, offering a smooth transition for Dubois and his team. Emerson's tenure, spanning five years and one month, makes him the longest-serving president in the entertainment industry’s history. He leaves behind a legacy of stability and growth, paving the way for new leaders to continue advancing the industry.

Dubois Carmichael Presidential Acceptance Speech

Delivered at the 2024 Ross Awards, December 3, 2024

“Thank you. Thank you so much for this incredible honor and the trust you have placed in me to lead Hollywood Studios into its next chapter.

Tonight, we celebrate not just individual achievements but the collective power of storytelling—stories that reflect our struggles, our triumphs, and our shared humanity. It is an honor to stand here as the first Black president of Hollywood Studios, and I am deeply humbled by the weight and significance of this moment. But I know this is not just my victory; this is our victory.

As I step into this role, my first priority will be to listen. I want to sit down with people from all walks of life, both inside and outside this industry, and hear their concerns. What do you envision Hollywood Studios becoming? Where do we want to go together? And perhaps most importantly, what does it mean to you when you see accurate, dignified representations of yourselves and your communities on screen? These are questions I want to explore with all of you, because the answers will shape our future.

To everyone who has ever felt their voice wasn’t loud enough, their story not big enough, or their place uncertain in this industry, let me say this clearly: there is room for everyone at the table. There are enough seats for all of us. Your story matters. Your perspective is needed. And I am committed to ensuring that Hollywood Studios becomes a home for stories from every corner of the world, told with care, authenticity, and pride.

I firmly believe that our diversity is our greatest strength. When we embrace it, when we highlight and celebrate our differences, we unlock the potential to achieve things beyond what we thought possible. My vision for Hollywood Studios is bold, yes, but it is grounded in collaboration and mutual respect. Together, we can usher the entertainment industry into a new era—one where representation isn’t a goal but a reality, where all voices are uplifted, and where every audience member feels seen and valued.

I look forward to collaborating with Beijing Lee at PanAsian Cinema and Delaurentis McQueen at Cygna Entertainment. Together, we will forge partnerships that champion diversity and elevate voices that haven’t had a stable platform.

This is more than a job for me; it is a responsibility, a calling, and a privilege. I have no doubt that the plans we build together will take Hollywood Studios and our industry to new heights. And when we succeed, it won’t just be because of me—it will be because of us.

Thank you for your trust, your belief, and your hope. Let’s get to work. Let’s create something extraordinary, together.”
