This is so dumb but I’m kind of obsessed with Dan being a Huel bitch on the low bc it’s so himbo gymrat of him and fits this whole hidden identity of his where he is someone who goes to spin class and loves salad and pounds meal replacement protein shakes

Wanted to draw a magical girl and also remembered this guy existed (he/him)

you know how some depictions of werewolves have their posture as being able to switch between being bipedel to quadrupeds? I realized the other day that the species my knight life belongs to has the same switch which is totally making me question the best species analogy for them or if hey maybe draconic faun really is the best description; this only thing really would be the presence of fur on the fore legs- though I guess i don't see why dragons couldn't have fur?

So this @laurenillustrated artwork and all the vintage-dream-casting at @hotvintagepoll got me thinking: if Scooby Doo were a thing in the 1890s, then a few years later it would be a NATURAL for silent Hollywood. So who do we cast in Hal Roach’s hit 1915-1919 series of Scooby Doo live-action comedy shorts?

Shaggy and Scoob are both easy, because look, here’s Charley Bowers! He always plays chaotic pottering-around-with-machinery types, which is exactly the vibe that 1890s Shaggy gives, and he does so with a surrealist slapstick edge that’s perfect for the material. On top of that, Bowers is a pioneering stop-motion special effects artist—so he can also be our lead animator, and the rapport between live-action Shaggy and his animated Scooby will be delightful.

Like Shaggy, Velma has to have a certain slapstick quality (“Where are my glasses? I can’t see without my glasses”), so it’s lucky we have Alice Howell—nicknamed “the female Charlie Chaplin” by the tiresome people who use that type of comparison. The point is, she can give Velma the bookish self-possession suggested in the 1890s look, AND also run through a gajillion doors in a wacky hallway chase culminating in a spectacular pratfall.

(Mabel Normand is another contender, but her acting style seems a couple notches too naturalistic for Scooby Doo. I definitely see her directing a bunch of the shorts though.)

Fred needs to be both a conventionally hot manly-hero type and a bit of an idiot, so hello Reginald Denny! This British actor emigrated to Hollywood in the early 1910s, became a comedy star, and played himbos so well that he was still playing them into the 1960s. He’s even in the Adam West Batman movie as the naval hero Commodore Schmidlapp, who’s so ditzy he doesn’t realize he’s been kidnapped by the Penguin.

Daphne is a fun one—let’s assume that by this point, Pearl White is tired of all those straight-up action serials like The Perils of Pauline, and wants to do a spoof for a change. With silent comedy shorts there’s always a chance the plot will wander away and leave the individual gags running the store, and White brings enough tension and gravitas to prevent that situation and keep things moving. At the same time, since she favors action roles, she can easily match the dynamism of Bowers, Howell, and Denny.

And that’s to say nothing of all the silent actors who could appear in bit parts on their way to fame. Maybe the gang tears the mask off the ghost, and discovers it’s an early-career Buster Keaton?

wait didn't dan burn that pasta one time when he was younger because he didn't know that you were supposed to put water in it 😭 i wouldn't trust my beautiful himbo with any cooking

see this is what worries me because dan moved in with phil with 0 general life skills and we know through their texts that he's still somewhat lacking in at least one area, laundry, which makes sense knowing phil enjoys doing that so he probably does a lot of dan's as well. so then like. can dan cook anything at all beyond pancakes or throwing some meat and veggies in a pan and stirring it around? quick howell make some bolognese

Alessio Skint for @adelarsims's Ember's Academy Spellcasting Tournament

(Because who else would celebrate their ascension with a hip bump? 😉)

Name: Alessio Skint Age: Young Adult (18) Hometown: Windenburg, currently residing in Brindleton Bay Occupation: Legacy Spare Awaiting University Acceptance Rank: Apprentice Traits: Active, Loyal, Cringe* Aspiration: Body Builder *this is only because he somehow still has ‘wriggly’ moodlets from being an infant that regularly push him into hysteria (which sims with the CRINGE trait can’t die from). otherwise he’d be a party animal or a bro.

more info

He may have maxed out FITNESS and be thisclose to completing his very first adulthood aspiration, but Alessio is a novice when it comes to the world of spellcasting. After growing up helping to take care of his nephews and niece, he came to appreciate just how useful magic could be with his virtuoso level soon-to-be brother-in-law slinging scruberoos and deliciosos everywhere.

Plus, it just seemed cool.

Alessio knows two spells and two spells alone: scruberoo and repairio. Which are two more than most of us know, but not exactly helpful in a duel. However as an athlete, he’s no stranger to training. And in his view, he’s about to be at the very best place to learn.

Alessio gives off a himbo energy, and while not the savant that his STEM genius mother is, he’s surprisingly academic and is an early high school graduate. He maintains it’s less down to any innate smarts and more down to hard work. Good natured, energetic and drawn to people, he’s very much his father Paolo Rocca’s clone (seriously, his heiress sister got all their mother’s genetics) - and is excited for this opportunity to come.

Just, yanno, don’t expect an Austenian level of wit from him, as an average joke from Alessio would make Dad Humour hide their heads in shame. Listen, fetch may not be happening anytime soon, but you can’t stop him from trying…
