Gay Gibson (16 June 1926 – 18 October 1947)

"a beastly thing to do"

Re-coloured photo rendering of actress 'Gay Gibson' (Eileen Isabella Ronnie Gibson) - who went missing from the Durban Castle during a voyage between Cape Town, South Africa and Southampton, England in 1947.

The criminal case that followed was known as the Porthole Murder. Deck steward James Camb would later be convicted, after admitting to pushing Gay's body through her cabin porthole, discarding of the corpse 25 feet into the "shark infested" depths below.

Camb denied killing Gibson, claiming she had died of a "sudden illness" during consensual intercourse. He disposed of her body in a panic, fearing for his job, later describing this as "a beastly thing to do". Camb was sentenced to death, but a suspension of the death penalty meant he served just 11 years for the murder, though was later convicted of unrelated crimes - an additional 10 years.

It seems apparent through subsequent interviews with fellow shipmates and previous coworkers of Gay Gibson, that she did infact suffer with ongoing health issues, including an undisclosed heart problem and fainting spells. Evidence examined at the trial saw significant injuries to Camb's wrist, Gay's urine on her cabin bed and blood on her pillow. Gay was possibly pregnant at the time of her death.

An actor has died and to remember her life, they placed a giant floating cube above a fountain in a park. Each side of the cube has a poster of the movies she was in, but all of them depicted the main characters instead of her. Nobody remembered her face in that park.

Need Aegon to be absolutely insane about Jaehaera by the way. Maximum overprotective father, does NOT let her out of his sight unless there's half the king's guard present around her at all times. He already lost one child and with Helaena sinking deeper into her grief and madness his daughter is all he has left.

i genuinely think if moira didn’t interrupt them this scene would’ve built up to a kiss scene

GAHHSHRHEHHW

once again back on my moira mactaggert hate train

erik should’ve shot her the gun is right there

who cares what the president has to say let the gays have their moment! god woman give it a rest!

IM SORRY THIS IS MEAN BUT SHE PISSES ME OFF WHENEVER SHES ONSCREEN

the first time i watched this movie i actually cheered when erik started choking her

crying

does anyone have any fics where they weren’t interrupted? there’s probably a few but idk what exactly to search up

moira has some kinda plot armor

knock charles out and then kill her idk

need to call up magneto for this

they couldn’t show the rest of the mutant road trip cause they were getting touchy feely with eachother 🤨

erik went to go cry in his bedroom afterwards

moira gives me “move over boys! let a real woman deal with this 😏😌” vibes WHILE SHE DOES NOTHING

for some reason i can appreciate moira in other things like the animated series or maybe the comics (i haven’t read many) but with the movies i want to bring back public execution

people write her way better in fanfics honestly

anyway gonna go buy a dart board then print a picture of her and use her face as target practice toodles

Some sad news to share - Eiko Masuyama, the iconic original voice of both Fujiko Mine (Lupin III) and Cutie Honey/Honey Kisaragi (Cutie Honey), has passed away at the age of 89 due to pneumonia. The first voice of Fujiko til she passed on the role to Miyuki Sawashiro, she was the last surviving member of the show's original core cast. A prolific actress in Japan, while many of her roles were in things not released in the US, she was also the voice of Princess Snow Kaguya in Sailor Moon S: The Movie. RIP to a true icon, whose amazing performances will never be forgotten.
