67% for jack. my beloved respectability politics gay

67%. What’s the worst injury they’ve ever gotten?

Ooh I'm not totally sure. Nothing too dramatic -- maybe a broken bone? The vision I'm having is Jack age 8-10ish (during the period where her mom is in and out of the hospital) falling while climbing a tree in her backyard or something and breaking her arm. And subsequently being stoic about it because 1. her mom is the one terminally ill right now so she can suck it up 2. her dad probably said some shit like "what exactly do you expect to happen when you're not careful?"

For bonus points, she's also planning to get a double mastectomy after graduating college. For BRCA gene reasons, not for gender reasons, shut the fuck up. She's normal.

2, 10, 19, 32 for rielle and jack :3

2%. Your character has been brought to a party and promptly ditched. They don’t have a ride back home. How does this work? How comfortable are they around all of these strangers? Do they interact?

Highly unlikely that this would ever happen to Rielle because she's not being brought to the party, she is the party, and you come to her. But if it did I think she'd be fine assuming she's not in her plot-induced mental breakdown era and/or already very intoxicated. Babygirl is full-on famous and an actress with a charisma score of 20, so she just has to strike up various conversations until someone recognizes her and within an hour she'll have minimum ten people magnetized around her and multiple ride offers.

Jack does not have these powers but she can for sure socialize -- it's more a matter of whether or not she wants to. If it's 100% dancing and drinking and loud music and Rielle Blanchette and her three weedsmoking girlfriends doing gay4pay she's walking right out and calling a taxi with her nepo baby money. But if there are some fellow overachieving college students around she'll probably chat with them and then slip into the conversation that her ride ditched when she can tell people are close to leaving.

10%. Is it easy for your character to tell someone “no” when they don’t want to do something?

For Rielle...yes but she's not always actually telling the person. But she thinks she's the main character of the universe, so I don't think peer pressure works on her. She will happily act utterly uninterested and make whoever suggested said something look like the loser. The exception would be if she's getting asked about something she doesn't want to talk about because it hits one of her neuroses, but in that case it's not "I don't want to talk about this," it's a smooth and dazzling subject change.

For Jack...no. She can find her reasons to get out of shit she's uncomfortable with ("It'd be stupid for us to fundraise together when we'd obviously make more money separately," "No one calls me Jacqueline except my dad and Rielle when she's trying to get a rise out of me, you don't get full name privileges," etc) and if she thinks someone is being ridiculous she will flatly not engage, but if it's something she doesn't want to do and doesn't want to explain why she doesn't want to do it and can't wiggle out of it with a plausible excuse. Yeah she's probably just gritting her teeth and doing it.

19%. How does your character’s living space reflect their personality?

So this book is set in college and I'm like 90% decided the guys have on-campus housing for the claustrophobically insular vibes. However, these people are also rich and terrible. So I thiiink Rielle also has a house. In addition to her mom's house in LA. For her gay little parties I guess. I'm picturing some New England-ass Adam-Style deal that is absurdly big for one person and feels soooooo empty when she's the only one in it. This kind of shit:

I think it's like. Downstairs in permanent hosting mode. Somewhere between hotel ballroom and quintessential college party vibes. Don't ask me what's going on in the kitchen this woman refuses to let me imagine her cooking. And somewhere upstairs (what would be the master bedroom?) she has her insanegirl Jupe Park trauma shrine with all the Bella Blanchette memorabilia. You have to be invited in there though probably. Otherwise I think everything's just very picture perfect. Some kind of pretty in pink style platonic ideal of a popular girl bedroom (both in the house and in her room at St. George's because she does hang out there during the week mostly). Probably posters and souvenirs from her movies and theatre shows hanging around because those do not have to be confined to the trauma cave.

Jack just has the on-campus housing (+ her dad's house where she hangs out during breaks but that's several states away). Which is less dorm, more medium-nice studio apartment, because of course. I'm guessing she keeps things pretty neat and functional. Designated Work Spot with all her books (mostly for classes, some for pleasure. and by pleasure I mean political/historical nonfiction) and her laptop because she's not out here writing essays in her bed. Coffee machine for sure, I think she's a functional caffeine addict. Picture of her and her mom somewhere, maybe near her bed, not hidden in a trauma cave but also not on obvious display because she's normal and misses her mom like a normal human person without being an attention-seeking freak about it.

32%. If the character could remove one emotion from their life, which would they choose?

Rielle would remove fear I think. She's literally special and survived the fatal car crash of all time without a scratch, what should she be afraid of? If she is anyway. If the full on world-ending level panic spirals hit when she feels like she's losing control. No she isn't <3

Jack would mostly like to never ever feel anything about Rielle ever again. I don't know if that's an emotion. Psychosexual-attraction-hatred-guilt-grief-rage-homoerotic rivalry-love specifically as in "though I did wish him dead, / I hate the murderer, love him murdered" just dropped. Otherwise...I think I said guilt or shame when I answered this question ages ago but now she's Catholic so I feel like the guilt is integral and she's not getting rid of it. But maybe anger because she would like all of her actions to be 100% rationally calculated and not personal at all.

Tremors 3 - Ritorno a Perfection

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo passati all’animazione, cercando di fare alternanza, e per cambiare abbiamo deciso di prendere in esame la Sony Animation Pictures con una delle loro commedie che trovo interessante, Hotel Transylvania. Il Conte Dracula, per proteggere sua figlia Mavis dagli umani, decide di costruire un hotel dedicato ai soli mostri e che possa…

April 1959. Jack Benny and some of his familiar cast, including Mary Livingston (Benny's real-life wife), Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Don Wilson, and of course Mel Blanc, voiced mouse versions of themselves in a 1959 cartoon short called "The Mouse That Jack Built," written by Tedd Pierce. The climax of the cartoon has Jack and Mary visiting the Kit Kat Klub, which turns out to be exactly what it looks like!
