Carmen Sandiego Mythical Creatures AU????
Had this idea for a while, based on monster falls
but I can’t draw so I’m going to talk about my ideas instead.
I am going to write little oneshots for them.
Also spoilers ahead
Carmen
Carmen I wanted to have a tie to Dexter Wolfe, While also keeping the black sheep energy. My friend suggested werewolf Carmen but I decided to do weredog, which is a completely different species. I imagine something a bit fluffy wolflike and black for the breed of dog that Carmen becomes, I’m picturing something like Siruis Black in a sense. I imagine like at the beginning of the series it’s like “she’s a werewolf” and then a bit later, she is revealed to be a weredog.
Player
Player is a Tanuki, a japaneese raccoon dog. In mytholgy, they are Shapeshifting and Michievious and A tanuki fits Player very well. Also I think he just gives raccoon energy. I can’t explain it. Also I imagine a raccoon with headphones for him.
Zack and Ivy
The Boston twins are both rabbit like creatures. I didn’t want them to be exactly the same so I went with Zack being A jackalope and Ivy being a wolpertinger, Kinda like a rabbit with antlers and wings and sometimes other random animal features. Most of the reason I wanted Zack to be a Jackalope was so Ivy can call him Zack-alope. But also I headcanon that Ivy is afraid of heights and rarely flies.
Chase Devineaux
Chase is a centuar. It just makes sense in my head.
Julia Argent
Julia is a fairy, specifically a fae. It also makes sense in my head. Also a fun bit I picture is “I never got your name” “I know better than to trust a fae with my name”
Cheif
Cheif is part Will o’ Wisp, Kinda like the ones in brave. I kinda wanted something that would be able to like appear and travel between places, Like how Chief mostly appears as a hologram. Also fitting that they’re usually seem as blue flames like Chief’s hologram version.
Coach Brunt
Coach Brunt is a minotaur. Very obvious. Strong and gets angry easily.
Professor Maelstrom
Malestrom is a dragon. Very scary and a very powerful creature. But This dragon is a very petty dragon.
Dr. Bellum
Bellum is a Alicanto. A mythical bird with golden feathers. She gives bird and crow energy, so thats where I was going with
Countess Cleo
Cleo is a gorgon, like Medusa. I originally wanted her to be a sphinx because egypt but I decided against it because mythical beings connecting with countries is challenging.
Shadowsan
Shadowsan is a vampire. Jackie suggested it and I’m going with it. Also turning into a bat seems like a very ninja thing to do.
Tigress
Tigress is a spinx. Again, wanted something cat like like her codename. Honestly I also imagine her to have a gazillion riddles
El Topo and Le Chevre
El topo was hard because there were not that many creatures that were known for tunneling, But I found a creature called an afanac, which was kinda like a crocodile mixed with a beaver so I was like “close enough.” Le Chevre is a Satyr. Very Clear. Half goat, probably good climbers.
Paper Star
Paper Star is a kitsune. I think their paranormal abilities would fit well with the chaos that is Paper Star.
Crackle
Crackle is a raiju. They are known for having electric powers so I though that would fit, knowing that Crackle is an electrician and uses the Crackle tod when he’s a vile operative
Mime Bomb
In becoming Carmen Sandiego, Carmen realizes that Mime Bomb was VILE’s spy. (Also in who in the world, Mime bomb was the “eyes and ears” in a mock caper so there is that) so I figured a shapeshifter who can be anyone or anything would be fitting for him, but he usually appears human.
Cleaners
I think a Cerberus-like 2 headed dog fits the cleaners very well. I don’t really have that much to say about it.

Carmen Week Day 5: AU
AWW YE HERE WE GO BOIS I HAVE BEEN SO HYPED FOR THIS ONE! Sorry its a bit late lol
Anyways--
Last Wolf is very near and dear to me, it was the first fic I actually had the confidence to write, but Thief's Guide is almost completely my own. It's not based off of another series, pretty much all the worldbuilding and plot is mine. Last Wolf still follows the timeline and plot of the original show (changed and added to of course, but the original show is the backbone.
A Thief's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is exactly what it sounds like lol. Carmen and her friends surviving in an apocalypse while on the run from VILE and ACME, complete with a dope soundtrack.
And Julethief of course :) because i love them
This is definitely an AU I wanna write down, I promise. Uhh maybe when I get this chapter of Last Wolf out I'll start??? Maybe. We'll see lol.
Feel free to drop me an ask about it! or last wolf too lol.
Dope soundtrack:
if the song came out during or before 1986ish, then its probably something the characters would listen to (namely Carmen, jamming to cassettes she scavenges on her Walkman). anything after that would just be soundtrack/credits music if it was a show.
uhhh story info under the cut lol
Around the mid 1980s, Dr. Bellum's unnamed predecessor was experimenting with a virus that, well, turned people into zombies. The test run soon got out of hand, however, and the virus quickly spread to the entire world.
Technology pretty much stays the same. Radios, paper maps, Walkmans, stuff like that. Music and TV obviously aren't getting widespread release anymore, so anything that came out past like, 1986 doesn't exist.
(Wow Fluffy that's so unrealistic there's no way people wouldn't quarantine themselves to stop it-- *looks at 2020* nevermind)
VILE uses it as a power grab, offering people shelter, food, etc. in exchange for joining. Fun.
There's incredible amounts of chaos and violence for the first decade or so, until late 1999 when VILE faculty member Dexter Wolfe is assumed to have been caught and killed.
Two things happen: ACME arises as a direct rival to VILE, and VILE acquires a certain Black Sheep.
ACME wants to find a cure. VILE wants the apocalypse to keep going so they stay in power. VILE and ACME are both much more well known.
Black Sheep grows up in a VILE compound, learning all her important thief skills of course, as well as the skills needed to survive the apocalypse: Firearms, bows, blades, living in the wilderness, etc etc. Pretty much anything you can think of needing to know in the apocalypse, Carmen learned when she was like six lol.
She officially enrolls at about 15, and escapes at 16.
Eventually she figures out VILE wants the apocalypse to keep going and escapes into the night on horseback, with Cookie Booker's stolen hat and coat.
She's on the run for a while and eventually winds up in Ontario, where she meets a recently orphaned 12 yr old Player. The two become fast friends and pretty much grow up together over the next few years. Carmen is very protective of Player and teaches him how to survive in case anything happens to her.
They make their way to Boston, pick up Zack and Ivy, and Team Red is complete! (for now)
Along the way they eventually acquire our favorite grumpy ninja, Carmen's favorite ACME agent, an aussie electrician and a couple more surprise people ;)
Carmen also discovers she may be the key to ending the apocalypse, but is ACME really what they say they are?

MTV News Breaking News on Kurt Cobain's Death
On April 5, 1994 Kurt Donald Cobain died at age 27. His body was not found until April 8 when an electrician went to the home and discovered the body. Hard to believe its been 30 years.
Cobain at Nirvana's MTV Unplugged taping
I’ve talked before about April 5 in Seattle music history here. I’ve talked even more times about Cobain and Nirvana. Of all celebrity deaths, that is one that had a big impact on me. I had just started high school in the Fall of 1991 when Nirvana’s Nevermind was released and their music was the soundtrack to high school for me. Skip ahead to April 8. I was at an after-school job and the radio was on. It was WBCN I believe. The DJ reported that a dead body had been found at the home of Kurt Cobain in Seattle. No more information was given. It wasn’t clear if Kurt was gone or if someone had died on the property. That night, my step-sister was at our house and she asked me “are you in mourning?”, I didn’t know what she meant at first, so she followed up, “Kurt Cobain. He’s dead.”. I didn’t want to believe it. So I immediately went to my room and turned on WFNX. They were playing Nirvana all night and taking calls from listeners (’FNX were early supporters of Nirvana and some say they are the ones who broke them by playing Nevermind before it was even released). In the days and weeks that followed, I listened to Nirvana nonstop. I also picked up every newspaper and magazine I could get my hand on with an obit (Newsweek, Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly, People, Rolling Stone, etc) and I watched MTV News’ coverage of the vigil with Courtney Love reading the note to the audience. It was a lot to process, especially as a teenager.
Cobain with 1-year-old Frances Bean and Courtney Love at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards
Last year when MTV shut down MTV News, one of the big things I remembered was their coverage of Cobain's passing. Much of the media looked at it as a drugged-out rock star who couldn't handle success. MTV News treated it as an important musician for teens and 20-somethings at that time. Someone who spoke to this generation's feelings and anxieties. At exactly the moment I was in high school, here was a band that was singing about confusion, alienation and rebellion. The music spoke to me. MTV News was also sensitive in their reporting as they included suicide-prevention info in their coverage as well. After the initial report, they did further coverage in their Week In Rock show and did a full Nirvana tribute special a few weeks later (still have my copy!).
Cobain in 1989 when Nirvana played Boston
Over the years, I’ve continued to enjoy Nirvana live and compilation albums and I’ve also continued to follow both Kris Novoselic and Dave Grohl’s respective musical journey as well. The fact that there were only 3 studio albums from Nirvana has only fed my interest in seeking out rarities and live bootlegs. We can only imagine what would have happened for Cobain as a musician and creative force if he had lived. But at least he left us so many gifts to remember him by: Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero and MTV Unplugged to name just a few!
Here is that MTV News report from April 8, 1994 where Kurt Loder broke the news.

Biography Magazine (July 2002)
Ben Affleck on stardom, settling down, and working with best buddy Matt Damon
By Sheryl Berk
Ever since their 1997 Oscar for Good Will Hunting, no matter what Ben Affleck and Matt Damon do solo, it's hard to envision them as anything but in-cahoots. Any time one of them is mentioned, the other's name comes up. So, is it fluke - or fate - that Affleck and Damon are both starring this summer in spy thrillers based on bestselling book series? Affleck plays Jack Ryan in The Sum Of All Fears, while Damon is Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity.
"I know what it looks like," Affleck admits, "that we somehow planned it this way. But I swear it just kind of happened. The fact that the movies were released around the same time was just a bizarre coincidence. I mean, there aren't all that many weekends in the summer, right?"
Actually, Affleck doesn't seem to mind having most of America think of him as half of the Ben-and-Matt team. "We've known each other since we were 8 or 9," he says of his longtime pal/writing partner. And they intend to be part of each other's future: Between their individual acting jobs, they're thinking up new projects under their multimedia production company LivePlanet. "We'll be writing together for a long, long time," Affleck predicts. "We're on the same page because we share a lot of the same life experiences. It's nice to have someone who understands where you're coming from."
Benjamin Geza Affleck was born on August 15, 1972, in an Oakland, California, hospital. His father, Tim, had a range of jobs, from auto mechanic and electrician to bartender and janitor (he is now a photographer and a counsellor at a California drug rehabilitation center), while his mother, Chris was (and still is) a school teacher. His family lived briefly in Berkeley, California, before moving to Massachusetts when Affleck was 2. "My brother, Casey, was born in Falmouth shortly before my third birthday," Affleck recalls. "We knew he was coming, so my parents threw a party for me three days early so I wouldn't miss it. But Casey decided to steal the show anyway: Right in the middle of my party, we had to rush to the hospital.
At age 5, the family moved to Cambridge and young Ben attended the public schools where his mom taught. But it was acting - not academics - that mainly interested him. "My father had a theater background - he worked with a theater company in Boston before I was born. He and my mom had a lot of friends who were actors, and I was around them all the time and it rubbed off." One of his mother's college friends ran a local casting company in Boston, and her husband was an independent movie director. He needed a 7-year-old boy for a film and Affleck volunteered. "After that, I wanted to do more. Maybe I was precocious; maybe I was just fooling around."
When a casting call went out for a PBS kids educational show called The Voyage of the Mimi, Affleck tried out for the part - and landed it. "I don't think at the time I had any clue how lucky I was," he says. "I didn't realize that most people audition and don't get the role." The pilot was shot in Maine, and the science and math series eventually got funding and a go-ahead. Around this time, the Afflecks divorced, leaving Chris to raise her sons single-handedly. When it was decided that season two of Mimi would be shot in Mexico, Ben's mom accompanied him on location.
"She was great - she was tutoring me. It was always very important to her that I have as normal a childhood as possible," Affleck says. Before the shoot was over, Chris got pneumonia and had to go home. She was assured that Ben would be safe and supervised, but "I was pretty much on my own down there, getting into trouble. I was earning money and I had my own hotel room; I thought I was all grown-up and had all the answers. Mr. Big Shot at 13."
When the series ended, Affleck returned home and started his freshman year at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School. He began to plot a path to Hollywood and enlisted the support of an old elementary-school friend, whom he nicknamed Matty D. Affleck and Damon would hold "business lunches" in the cafeteria and go to New York on auditions (Affleck even helped Damon find an agent). "In high school, our friendship got more intense as we realized how much we both had similar goals," Affleck says. "We had these fantasies about all the things we were going to do, and they were all sort of silly and romantic and half-baked. We never really imagined that any of them would come true."
One of those "half-baked" fantasies began with a 40-page script that Damon wrote in his Harvard playwriting class in 1992. Affleck had dropped out of the University of Vermont to pursue acting and was struggling in L.A. ("barely able to pay the $300 a month for a one-bedroom hole") when Damon sent the story to him. The pair agreed it had the makings of a great movie - and they were right. It eventually became Good Will Hunting.
"It probably had a million different incarnations," says Affleck. "I was 19 when we wrote the first version. There was one where my character was supposed to die. One where the government was after Will." The project sat on the back burner as Affleck found his niche in independent films. Damon continued to act as well, but both were frustrated with the lack of quality roles being offered to them. They returned to their script, eventually completing 1500 pages.
"We would just sit around BS-ing and kicking things back and forth," Affleck says. "We'd talk it out and it would fall into place. I think we have a great dynamic. In our case, two heads are definitely better than one."
They gave the finished script to their agent who showed it to a few studios. It was accepted by Castle Rock for $600,000. "It was like we won the lottery," Damon once remarked. But a year later, the project remained in limbo - the studio wasn't willing to give Affleck and Damon the creative control they wanted (not only did they want to star in the film, they wanted it shot on location in their native Boston). It took clout and connections to turn things around: Damon had just starred in Francis Ford Coppola's The Rainmaker and was suddenly on Hollywood's radar screen; Affleck's director/friend Kevin Smith was willing to take the script to top execs. It was Miramax's Harvey Weinstein who saved the day and agreed to pick up Good Will Hunting for $1 million.
"Harvey really believed in us and told us it was okay to take some more risks, to go with it," says Affleck. "So we had the opportunity to write the story that we really wanted to write, as opposed to what we thought somebody else would like."
The film was a hit, both critically and at the box office, pulling in a total of $229 million worldwide. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards; it received the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and Robin Williams won Best Supporting Actor. "That night, I remember feeling like I had just been in a car accident," Affleck says. "It was that same feeling of shock, of 'What just happened?' I remember Billy Crystal did his song montage to open the show and we were part of it. He was singing 'Matt and Ben, Ben and Matt,' and I turned to Matt and went, 'Man, this is crazy! Surreal!' I mean, we were a joke that people got. And then Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau announced our category, opened the envelope, and read our names. I expected As Good As It Gets to win, but instead, it was us. All I know is I staggered up there - it was like this weird out-of-body thing followed by exuberance and screaming my head off."
From that day forward, Ben and Matt were Hollywood legend: the 25- and 27-year-old writing wunderkinder who won Oscars their first time out of the gate. Along with the notoriety came the trappings of stardom. Affleck bought homes on both coasts (a three-story Hollywood Hills spread complete with five motorcycles and two Cadillacs, and a New York City pad outfitted with his favorite vintage arcade games) plus a house in Cape Cod for his mom. He even dated an It Girl - Gwyneth Paltrow - for over a year (they're still friends) and has been linked in the tabloids with (among others) Mariah Carey, Chelsea Clinton, Sandra Bullock, and Britney Spears (For the record, he has denied being involved with any of them). He also went through a period of partying too hard and, a year ago, decided it was time to get his life back on track. These days, he's much more future-focused and serious.
"If I were to guess what the next 10 years of my life would be, I would think they'd involve less acting, particularly the kind of acting that requires you to do a bunch of publicity, the kind that changes the quality of your life as a person," he says. "Eventually, I think I'll tone down the degree to which I expose my whole life to the world and put myself out there. If I was doing less of that, I feel it would be more conducive to settling down, getting married, and having a family. That's important to me."
What's also important is the quality of his work, although it doesn't hurt to command upwards of $12 million a picture. Since Good Will Hunting, he has starred in more than 10 films, including Shakespeare In Love, Armageddon, Bounce, Pearl Harbor, and Changing Lanes. Affleck insists it's the story, not the paycheque that convinces him to sign on the dotted line. Case in point: The Sum Of All Fears. He knew the role of Jack Ryan, hero of Tom Clancy's popular novels, came with baggage. "Two fine, fine actors, Harrison Ford [in Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games] and Alec Baldwin [in The Hunt For Red October], already played Ryan. You know people will always be comparing you - there will be guys on the Internet discussing how I measure up. What can you do? Just your best and be true to the story."
"It was very courageous of him," says the film's director Phil Alden Robinson, who describes Affleck as "a member of the team, a people person, a hugger. He's genuinely a modest fellow who gives it his all. The fact that it was a challenge only makes him work harder."
What appealed to Affleck was the concept of creating Ryan's early years - giving new depth to the character. The film is a prequel to the other three: Ryan must confront terrorists who have possession of a nuclear weapon they plan to detonate at the Super Bowl.
"This is a different Jack Ryan," he explains. "He doesn't have all the answers; he doesn't have it all together. He hadn't yet become the U.S. Intelligence superhero. He's starting out, just getting his feet wet. He writes this paper and it takes on a life of its own. That, I could identify with, because that's how it was for me with Good Will Hunting. You write something, it takes off, and you're sort of whisked along with it. Ryan's not sure where he'll wind up, where this will lead him, but he's going with it. He's going along for the ride."
Ben's Big Business
In June 2000, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Moore and Sean Bailey founded LivePlanet, a company that "creates entertainment experiences that break down the barriers between traditional media, new media, and the physical world." Translation? The foursome and their team come up with outrageously creative, one-of-a-kind projects that allow audience members to not only participate (through TV, film, wireless, the Web, etc.) but in many ways, influence the final outcome.
It all started with Project Greenlight, a 13-episode documentary series on HBO last year that chronicled the nuts and bolts of making an independent feature film. Matt and Ben announced an Internet competition, and 10,000 aspiring filmmakers sent in their scripts. From them, Pete Jones' Stolen Summer was chosen as the winner, and Miramax agreed to foot the bill to produce it (it was released this past spring).
"I hope that young writers are encouraged by us," Affleck says. "And as long as our partners, HBO and Miramax, are ready and willing, we want to keep it going. We want more first-timers to have this great opportunity."
Also in the works is Push, Nevada, a 13-episode ABC TV series that blends elements of fact and faction, drama and reality. The show centers on a series of strange events that occur around a missing seven-figure sum of money. By following the show - and participating online - audience members garner clues that will lead them to a genuine bankroll hidden somewhere in the U.S.
"The idea of LivePlanet is to change the way you can tell a story, and to chance the degree of involvement the audience can have with it," explains Affleck. He expects LivePlanet's wild ideas to raise a few eyebrows: "You have a much higher risk of failure when you're doing something that's never been done before. But that's also the fun of it, the excitement, and to me, the most fulfilling thing I can do in my career."

We were talking about cost of living in different regions of the US today and how there's really not much beating St. Louis (in relation to our union wages, anyway), in comparison to places we used to live (me in Boston, coworker in Ohio but having considered other places, etc) and this electrician dude pops in about how he used to live in California and he likes it sooooooo much better here in cost and culture because "in California people think it's weird if you're patriotic." Like dude.... Okay.... 😒
#patriotism (nationalism by another word) is not a value of mine but go off i guess!!!#also. patriotism for what. we can't even get single payer healthcare here.

It’s funny I always just assumed it was for *union reasons* because that’s true for so many people that I know/work with. Hell, that’s why I use my middle name professionally, to the despair of every graphic designer in town (my whole first middle last name together is pretty long, and when I PSM my name gets to be on the coverpage).
But that’s because of SAG or Equity, I have never wondered before now if the DGA or British equivalent… DGGB (?) also has name exclusivity rules. I don’t see why not? If “your name is your brand” is so important for actors, whose faces are fully visible and make it much easier to tell people apart, then why wouldn’t it be important for directors who are behind the screen.
And Equity at least (I can’t speak for SAG) implemented those rules because actors work nationally. You’re unlikely to mix up Alex Newall electrician in Boston MA and Alex Newall electrician in Atlanta GA because they don’t cross paths. No overlap, no confusion. And that works for most industries where you’re at a particular job with a particular company, or working in a particular area in a somewhat stable fashion. But artists are ~special~ and we work wherever people hire us. 
You could be Jonny Sims actor in New York and then actor in Atlanta, and then Boston and Seattle pretty easily within one calendar year. That’s not even considering people who are on a national tour and have worked in 30 to 40 states every year. So it’s much more important to be the only Jonny Sims acting in the country.
Which is also why Equity doesn’t have locals like most unions. Love it or hate it, the assumption is if you are doing this professionally, you are eventually going to end up in and out of New York or LA or Chicago (or Florida, but that’s a different can of worms). SAG has regional markets but thru don’t run the same way as a local.
And the unions take this very seriously. It’s why David Tennant had to make his legal name David Tennant when he started working cross market in the US. He changed it first from his birth name, David MacDonald, when he joined Equity in England because MacDonald was taken. But Tennant was taken here so they were gonna make him change it again. Which is ludicrous considering how famous he already was by this point. But, you can sometimes get an exception, or make an appeal, if it is your full legal name.
Because it’s a whole process, there use to be a fee for Actors’ Equity to change your name. But of course fees like that predominantly affect women who statistically change their name more often than men. And trans people who need to change their name, sometimes more than once. And being trans in the US and doing the and name change saga, is so long and grueling and demoralizing, that the very least we could do as a labor union was not “pay us this money or you keep having to publicly use your dead name” so the very first piece of policy that I proposed (with a couple of friends) as an elected was to abolish the name change fee at Equity.
Anyway. 
If it’s not union reasons, I bet it’s SEO to avoid being confused with American Alex Newell even though they spell their names differently. If you search without the “J” google gives you a “did you mean” pointing to Tony award winner and darling of our hearts Alex Newell. Which I assume would be pretty annoying for Alex Newall, king of podcasts. 
Is the J just there for the ✨️aesthetics✨️
Trust me, if it was for the aesthetics I'd have something cyberpunk in there.
#sorry Alex for speculating on your name choices#I just wanted the excuse to talk about union history#because I’m a nerd#professional names are interesting#labor unions#actors equity#shewhich stuff
