audience participation 🎉

So after all that here's finally my belated new years/Manny Sherman birthday art, also I really wanted to do an audience participation thing and combing the two just made sense and I really wanted this comically large cake and I really had fun drawing his 80s outfit and more of magpie and middle aged Eliza

This is set a good decade before Sherman's arrest (bunch of progress and stuff undercut)

let me know if any of these should be posted individualy(also I straight up put all that work into the young Eliza thing in preparation for this specific thing and I hope everyone loves it 💕)

It's addictive to depict this dynamic because other Sherman fans focus on the intimidation factor(rightly) but I'm out here having him get bullied by Megan Clarke of all people lol

[be-side-my-self]

I think I got blocked so I will now talk about Silas and post in his tag and you all have to suffer... or you like what I'm going to write.

The white wolf really is such a mysterie which is a pity. Whe know literally nothing but his name and what he kind of looks like.

All we know about him are from very untrustworthy sources.

One is Travis who is telling us what Kaylee told him.

Travis assumes that Eliza is not Silas' real mother. But we don't know that. Eliza looks really old so how likely is it? Well, it can still be true that Eliza is indeed Silas mother since the game is taking place in a world where werewolves, witches and ghosts are real.

But all of this just raises more question and we get literally no answers.

Like how old was/is Silas?

Travis says Kaylee wanted to help the child. this means that Silas was in his human form, right? And Travis also says that even six years later there are sightings of a feral albino child along the coast. Of course if Silas was something like 6 years old when Harum Scarum got destroyed, he could be 12 when he was finally "caught".

That again raises the question if no one ever tried to find him and bring him inside? A naked child in the woods that was seen multiple times?

Anyway let us look at the poster on the cage:

compared to the new flyer, we find all the time, the one from six years ago:

In the first one Eliza looks a lot younger. Of course that could have been the artist of the poster deciding to just pretty her up. But if you look at the design, the first ones looks older... like it could be from decades ago.

But Silas was already a part of the show then. So... how old is Silas really? Is he Elizas son? She sure seems to think so.

"Mommy is coming Silas!"

(Sorry the screenshots I have are bad)

Eliza sees Silas as her son. Why did she put him in a cage? Maybe it wasn't as bad as Kaylee thought it was? It might have been good enough that people thought it is just an act? The cage itself is rather big... Maybe peope thought the feral thing was also just an act?

That would be what I might assume... children who grow up in a circus often help out with the acts.

Either way, Eliza loved Silas enought to stay in the real world as a ghost and to try to kill off a whole family to protect him (and maybe bring him snacks/campers into the woods, who knows).

Anyway talking about age, another thing is that both Kaylee and Caleb are (if we believe the family tree) 21 22 (*1999) and 26 (*1995)

Not exactly teenagers, even though Chris titles them as such. The developers are just not exact with the ages and all characters are unreliable narrators.

Also Caleb was 20 when he started the fire to help his 15 16 year old sister to free a child. Instead of asking their cop-uncle to help?

All of this just seems weird. Caleb should have known better. He was already an adult who grew up in the woods and at camp. He should know about the dangers of fire.

Even if they were both only 10 years old they should have known better...

Another thing is that we have to assume is, that Silas was in his human form when he got "rescued". And still he bit Caleb. He is multiple times described as feral (again by Travis who is not a reliable source) but it might still be true.

The fact alone that Silas bit Caleb while probably being human is an indicator for Silas actually being feral. That raises the question of why was Silas like that? Was he like that from the beginning? Or was he just not raised adequately? OR if he really is older than he looks did he become more feral with time?

All of those are valid options.

Another thing that always strikes me as weird is Kaylees letter. The first time I heard it, it sounded like she is not sorry about what happened. It sounds like she is only sorry about how it turned out.

Though, many people died she does not sound like she feels any regret... maybe werewolves really become more feral with time?

Gammy, How long we gonna drag this shit out? I know family is the most important thing, but I wanna know what's outside the forest, outside this damn house and camp, and I sure as hell know that ain't about to happen 'cos of who we are. Maybe we can explain what's goin' on. Fuckin' show people. Then they'll know we got no control over it. I know you just tryin' to protect us, but one day you won't be here no more and right now it feels like we stuck in a dark hole. I can't sleep Gammy. Or if I do I dream about that fuckin' fire. We were just dumbass kids back then. I wish it never happened. Love, K xoxo

Also Kaylee writes that they were just dumbass kids, which might be true for her but not for her brother (again, 15 16 and 20).

BUT THEN we have this photo:

We don't know when it was made but it could be from six years ago? But Caleb does not look 5 4 years older than Kaylee... all of this is just one big mysterie.

Anyway I wish we would have learned more about Silas because the things we do learn are not really anything to go with... all we can do is take those and put our own preferred headcanons around them.

"Animal Instinct" (1965)

Written by Bill Giant, Bernie Baum and Florence Kaye, "Animal Instinct" was recorded by Elvis Presley between February 24-26, 1965 at RCA’s Studio B in Nashville. The song is part of the MGM’s film "Harum Scarum" soundtrack. The movie was released on November 24, 1965 in the US.

It's said there's an actual scene in which Elvis performs this song in the movie, but it was left out from the final cut.

haven't finished that my new year's art yet but while I work on that have a scribble of my middle aged 80s Eliza design and again Megan who in both sideshow era timelines would go under the alias of Maggie Vorez and be passed off as Eliza's daughter to add to the whole act(more so for Matches than Magpie due to joining younger)

Also I'm debating on if I should keep Eliza's dress white for consistency of something else?(keeping in mind that matches' colours are black/gold and magpie's blue/silver)

PART 3

[be-side-my-self]

Let's do a list of members of Harum Scarum! As much as we can...

Eliza Vorez the fortune teller - She can show you the way

Silas the amazing dogboy

Greta the Rubberwoman - nothing can hold her

The nameless Escapologist (could be Greta too)

Now, here is an important difference, I think about. The sideshow is not the fair (seen on the photo). They might have travelled together in parts but the shideshow Harum Scarum is it's own thing.

So it is quite possible that Harum Scarum was only 4 people but probably maybe a few more. But personally I don't think many. That is up for debate though.
