Two years after the events at Cape Citadel, things appear to have settled down slightly, but with the current President's time almost over, a new Presidential race beckons. The Mutant Registration Act, the perennial project of Senator Robert Kelly and various other factions, is back up again in a supposedly kinder and gentler version. Magneto has not been sighted, but remains at large.

An alliance of sorts exists between the Hellfire Club and the X-Men, spurred in part by an remarkably ambitious vision to create a mutant community inside America's greatest city, but it is a fragile one, susceptible to betrayal. Dark powers lurk around the X-Men, both evil mutants and far more mysterious eldritch foes- just as emissaries from unfathomably far reaches of space begin taking an interest in them.

Being a mutant- not easy. Doesn't seem to be getting easier, either ...

The Fire Emblem Awakening Cast but I give them Middle and Last Names

Alright. Part two of the “giving middle and last names to characters who don’t have one”, this time with Awakening. Hope you like it, and feel free to not agree with my naming choices! I’m sure there’s much more to disagree with this time around, given that we aren’t given so much ‘this was inspired by this place’ in Awakening. Still, please be kind! This is all just in the name of fun.

____________________

And here comes the part where I explain myself:

‣ Names were infinitely harder this time because I had less to base it off of, and had to play the headcanon game. Most characters will have their full name chosen based on what went with their first name’s origin, and what names suited their personalities (and flowed well).

‣ One such instance of headcanon is Chrom being “Chrom Saros”, which was decided by the fact that I’d called his father “Saros” in fanfiction before. I imagine Chrom detests his full name because of its ties to his father.

‣ The name Sumia is of Arabic origin, so she gets an Arabic last name. Maybe she is biracial? Fun idea to toy with.

‣ Like Keaton and Kaden in the previous ones, Nowi made her last name up. She just picked something she thought sounded cool and cute, and went along with it.

‣ Panne was given the option to choose a last name, but chose nothing. If it wasn’t a taguel thing, what was the point? She was already the only taguel. Panne would always be Panne.

‣ Names for the most part in Plegia were inspired by desert countries, such as Algeria. Given Plegia’s desert aesthetics, I figured it would only make sense that those who hailed from there would be given names that were popular in real life desert countries.

‣ Any of the characters originating from Chon’sin were given Japanese names (with some slight adjustments to account for the Chon’sin love of apostrophes). There is not much sourcing on the background inspiration for Chon’sin other than the wiki briefly mentioning that it��s “sort of Japanese, a bit like Hoshido but much less influenced”. So I played around with some names and got that together.

‣ Some characters straight up have names without backgrounds. It happens in fantasy settings. Where it did, I just decided to flat out substitute in fantasy names. Miriel, for example, is a name that originates from fiction already. So I just slapped on some other fantasy names and voila.

‣ Walhart’s last name is linked not to his name’s origin, but to Alm of Echoes. If I remember correctly, Walhart is meant to be Alm’s descendant, so I figured it would make sense for the two of them to have names that match in some way. Plus, Walhart is another one of those fantasy names.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for now! I’d say “I’ll do Three Houses next”, but they’ve already got them haha. I suppose I could do any of the older games if someone wanted me to, but I’m afraid I don’t know the characters as well. Still, doesn’t mean I’m not willing to try ;)

Guess who finally got around to making her TWST OC.

“I came to the mainland to get away from trouble. Yet somehow I managed to jump from its pan and into the its flames.”

Name: Marianna R. Fiore

Alias: Reine des Fleur (Rook), Mari (Various), Shrimpy (Floyd), Prefect

Age: 17 yrs old

Dorm: Ramshackle

Year: 1st Year

Class/Student Number: 1-A/ No. 8

Birthday: August 7th

Hair: Black

Eyes: Violet with hints of pink

Height: 5ft 6in (167.6 cm) (minus heels)

Dominant Hand: Right-Handed

Gender: Cis Female

Pronouns: She/Her

Favorite Food: Beef Potato Stew/ Mille-Feuille

Least Favorite Food: Chili Peppers

Origins: Pomelia, Kingdom of Fiore/ World of Twisted Wonderland

Unique Magic: (REDACTED)

Bio: Marianna hails from the isolated kingdom of Fiore where the country has maintained a magic border that separates it with the rest of Twisted Wonderland for centuries. Despite living as an orphan mage in Magnolia for the latter half of her childhood, she stands as her father's only biological child and his eldest daughter after her younger adopted sister Willow. As the child of her father, the Duke of Gardenia and Chief Minister, she stands as a noblewoman of high society despite her mother's origins. Due to information that will be disclosed later on, Marianna had to leave the Kingdom's royal academy and was invited to attend NRC on the mainland which unknown to anyone in her family was an all-boys academy. By the time she arrives at the academy in the Ebony Carriage, she is unable to return home due to the barrier blocking the mirror and so she is insisted by Headmaster Crowley to stay at Night Ravens College until further notice.

Personality: Marianna portrays the elegance and refinement of a lady of her status from Fiore. Despite the stereotype of a lady her age, Marianna is actually extremely patient and flexible and often acts as the mediator for many arguments that occurs in NRC. She is described by many as someone who is gentle and warm but despite that not many know Marianna intimately outside a handful. Despite her patient and gentle nature though hides someone more than capable of solving most of her problems through brute force alone.

Likes: Quiet Time, Sweets, Cooking, Dancing, keeping up with paperwork

Dislikes: Incompetence, the Noble Faction

Clubs: Light Music Club

Best Subject: Magical Pharmaceuticals and Practical Magic

Hobby: Songwriting

Talents: Acrobatics/Gymnastics

Family Relations:

Willow W. Fiore: Marianna’s younger adopted sister, she’s been raised by Marianna since Mari’s younger years. Mari is the closest thing Willow has ever had to a mother so she’s very protective over her and always looks towards Marianna’s best interests.

Frederick S. Fiore: Marianna’s biological father and Duke of Gardenia. Has been looking for Marianna for years since she was infant after the incident that killed her mother and was reunited with Marianna when she was roughly 14. He was very reluctant in letting her leave Fiore but agreed under the promise that she would write to him using a special set of notebooks that was enchanted to enchanted words to each other.

Extras:

* Marianna was raised from infancy to the age of 8 by a man who will remain unnamed until further notice however it is of public knowledge that he would abuse her, to what extent is withheld information

* She always wears the choker necklace that was made by her sister

* She’s very overprotective of the necklace and is never seen in both Fiore and Mainland public without it

* Marianna is a part of the Fiorian Military as a high ranking officer

* When Marianna starts to feel any kind of distress she has a numeral amount of breathing exercises to calm herself down

* Marianna carries a hairpin/clip that was made with material left behind by her former guardian which was enchanted with a magic crystal to change form

(Marianna is the revised version of one of my oldest OC’s Keijia Owara. I decided to combine my old Fairy Tail OC with my current obsession which is Twisted Wonderland. Marianna’s story does use some of the canon characters but mainly focuses on my own OCs and a few side characters from the show with only a handful of cameos from the main cast. And for the sake of the story, Fiore is an island nation that has isolated itself from the rest of Twisted Wonderland and I’m implementing my own lore into the story involving the royal family and the history. And Fiore itself is much more technologically advance to match with the rest of Twisted Wonderland)

1943 was a banner year for Betty Grable. Her popularity soared into the stratosphere becoming the number one female star of the times. In February of that year Grable’s famous gams were immortalized in cement at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and they were the subject of an entire spread in Life magazine that June. In the summer of ’43 Grable married bandleader, Harry James and her two movie releases of the year, Irving Cumming’s Sweet Rosie O’Grady and Walter Lang’s Coney Island were smash hits for 20th Century Fox. Today I’m here to laud one of those movies, my favorite of Grable’s colorful, tuneful wartime escapist fare, Sweet Rosie O’Grady.

I don’t know if I’ll do Sweet Rosie O’Grady justice, but I haven’t been this excited about commenting on a movie in a long time. I absolutely adore this battle of the sexes presented in glorious Technicolor and with utmost care. There is not a hair out-of-place in this production nor will you get the sexual innuendos fans of pre-code require. This is squeaky clean fun featuring an all-too-often forgotten, but supremely talented star. Part of the reason why I chose to spotlight a Grable movie for this CMBA blogathon focused on Underseen and Underrated movies is because I’m still reeling from my visit to 20th Century Fox studios last year. My friend, the estimable Danny Miller will corroborate this story as well as my outrage.

During our tour of the studio we went into the gift shop where I saw Shirley Temple and Marilyn Monroe film collections settled on a huge display. I turned to the young man who worked there and asked, “where’s the Betty Grable collection?” to which he replied, “WHO?”

I admit I was miffed. And I didn’t bother to ask about Alice Faye who preceeded Grable and followed Temple as the Fox musical blonde of repute because what would’ve been the point? Incidentally, Sweet Rosie O’Grady was originally intended as a vehicle for Faye, but the movie went Grable’s way because Faye was pregnant. Anyway, onto Sweet Rosie O’Grady…

Main Players

Betty Grable is Madeleine Marlowe / Rosie O’Grady

Robert Young is Sam Magee

Adolphe Menjou is Thomas Moran

Reginald Gardiner is Charles, Duke of Trippingham

Virgina Grey is Edna Van Dyke

The Story

Yankee sensation, Madeleine Marlowe (Grable) is finishing her successful run in “The Belle of Bond Street” at London’s leading playhouse, the Trafalgar Square Theatre, when Charles, the Duke of Trippingham (Gardiner) proposes to her. Madeleine doesn’t love Charles, but the prospect of catching a man with a title is too good to pass. So much so, in fact, that she knows Charles is broke and would be marrying her for her money.

Fast forward a few days and we see Madeleine on the boat back to America where her manager, Skinner (Alan Dinehart) and assistant, Edna (Grey) come upon some articles written by one Samuel A. McGee (Young). The McGee articles expose Madeleine Marlowe’s true identity. It turns out that “The Toast of the Continent” is none other than the title-hungry, former Brooklyn Burlesque Queen, Rosie O’Grady. Well, you can just imagine how Rosie’s Irish temper flares up!

The next thing you know Marlowe/O’Grady is in a war of words with Sam McGee – he in print and she in song. Each gets the better of the other in embarrassing, but enjoyable fashion. What’s not expected (except to us) is that O’Grady falls for McGee and McGee falls for O’Grady.

The opening of this story follows a terrific title sequence with a chorus singing the title song, which is featured later when Marlowe stars in a show titled, “Sweet Rosie O’Grady.” The entire soundtrack of this movie is fantastic although a favorite is the ballad, “My Heart Tells Me” by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon. I’ve loved that song since I first saw this movie on The 4:30 Movie on New York’s local ABA affiliate, Channel 7. Oh, the good ol’ days!

Betty sings “My Heart Tells Me” in a nightclub in the movie, but the standout – as the New York Times reviewer noted in 1943 – is when “blue-eyed, platinum-haired Miss Grable sings dreamily in a bathtub with soapsuds up to her glistening shoulders.” This particular scene proved immensely important to me as a young movie fan because it was the first time I realized movie stars could summon up entire invisible orchestras whenever they sang.

The reviewer then goes on to comment on the reason 20th Century Fox had Grable under contract – her legs – and ends with saying Grable has the screen personality of a marshmallow. Needless to say I wholeheartedly disagree with that reviewer. Yes, Grable movies are fluff for the most part, but she is always the best reason to watch them. With a strong, lovely voice and skilled dancing prowess, Grable proved her legs were useful for more than bait for the male masses. Sweet Rosie O’Grady allows her ample opportunity to show why audiences adored her beyond that. Not only could Miss Grable play a high-brow songstress convincingly, but she does the Brooklyn dame part as well and looks fantastic in every scene. In addition, her comedic chops bettered the material.

I’m also not ashamed to say that Betty Grable had a huge influence on my burgeoning love of standards as she was the first I heard singing them in her movies. By the way, you get to hear Robert Young sing a bit in this too and does quite well for himself in that arena as well as a comedic/romantic foil for Grable’s graces. I remember being duly impressed the first time I saw Sweet Rosie O’Grady. The old guy from Marcus Welby, M.D. was in a movie with Betty Grable! WHO KNEW?!

Ken Englund wrote the screenplay for O’Grady based on stories by William R. Lipman, Frederick Stephani and Edward Van Every. The movie is a remake of Tay Garnett’s Love Is News (1937) and was later remade as Robert Sinclair’s The Wonderful Urge in 1948 in which Reginald Gardiner plays another version of the snooty, but broke Englishman with a title. Gardiner played this type of character in numerous 20th Century Fox films of the era, including a few others starring Betty Grable.

Sweet Rosie O’Grady also features enjoyable supporting players like Adolphe Menjou who plays Tom Moran, Sam Magee’s editor and Sig Ruman is Joe Flugelman, the man who gave Rosie O’GRady her start in Brooklyn. There are also luscious period costumes and sets that do Technicolor proud from beginning to end. The presentation here is what make it a worthwhile watch although – again – if it’s a fun distraction you’re after you can’t go wrong with Sweet Rosie O’Grady. It’s a delight.

◊

Please visit the Classic Movie Blog Association for more recommendations on Underseen and Underrated movies. And THANK YOU to whichever power that be decided to use Betty singing in the bathtub as a banner!

Underseen and Underrated: Irving Cummings’ delightful SWEET ROSIE O’GRADY (1943) 1943 was a banner year for Betty Grable. Her popularity soared into the stratosphere becoming the number one female star of the times.

The Battle of New York. The Day Unlike Any Other. The Incident.

Whatever you chose to call it, it had consequences beyond imagination.

Loki is in chains, having violated an ancient treaty between the Asgardians and the Olympians as the least of his crimes. The rise of the Avengers has left mutants more vulnerable than ever to infighting and government regulation, not to mention being on the verge of becoming public knowledge for better, or, Professor X fears, for much, much worse. A child becomes the latest pawn in a game with too many players and no end in sight.
