Got to see the SIX tour!! They were so lovely.

I was sat front and center in my Boleyn outfit (it was the best I could do lol) and I got a wink from Jennifer (Boleyn) and a lot of looks from Casey (Seymour)!

Best part.

I got called to stand up and dance during Get Down and everyone cheered omfg it was amazing. And when I saw Jessica (Cleeves) at stagedoor she saw me and said oh you were my dancer!

We talked about how LIs and some side characters in 7B are referencing different characters from other RC stories in their Halloween costumes ���

But I haven't seen the references for Jaynie's costumes discussed yet so here's my take:

Angel — Vicky (I mean, duh, pretty self-explanatory) 🪽

Egyptian Goddess — Evthys (again, pretty obvious) 📜

Witch — Nova & Amabelle 🔮

(fun fact: this wouldn't be the first time Langley referenced Arina's work — the mysterious Portrait the Incineration Alliance has been looking for is actually decorating the walls of Kearney's cafeteria)

Nun — tbh I don't see a clear prototype here but it could possibly be Adelaide and Jessica who both have "Naughty Nun" dresses in their wardrobe 😈

you know a ship is good when character a has a near-death experience and character b immediately acts like a widow

[waffle-bubbles]

Learning about the different roles of actors is wild.

What do you mean TK from 911: Lone Star is married to Max from Black Sails?? How did I not know this before??

What do you mean Yasmina from JWCC and Cleo from MH are the same person??

I just love Kit, and I love who Niles (briefly) becomes under Kit's influence.

no, but sometimes the side character has intense beef with another side character (usually, but not always, the best friend of the main character's love interest) who eventually ends up being their love interest, and their beef was just their way of flirting.

And sometimes, it's even cuter than the main ship.

Examples include (but are not limited to, so please feel free to add your own):

Niles and CC Babcock (The Nanny)

Joey and Willow (Liv and Maddie)

Ron and Hermione (kinda) (Harry Potter)

Ivy and Emmett (I think) (Good Luck Charlie)

Suki and the vegetable dude (Gilmore Girls)

[littleeliza-lotte]

Saw SIX again yesterday!

Might be watching a dress rehearsal if it tomorrow…

Introducing the Jekyll Estate staff

|

|

- Mrs. Jessica ‘Harpy’ Harpshire is Jekyll’s tightly wound and stiff-lipped housekeeper. Hired shortly after Poole, Mrs. Harpshire has been well acquainted with the Jekyll family since Henry’s boyhood. She has seen it all, and subsequently knows how to keep things in order… even without the presence of her beloved husband John. Deemed ‘the Harpy’ by Bradshaw, she is respected and feared by nearly all of the staff (Poole being the only exception).

- Mr. Steven Poole is the eldest and most tenured member of the staff. Poole has performed many roles within the house over his twenty years of service as head butler and valet to Dr. Jekyll and his father. Loyal to a fault, Poole will see to it that his master’s house and reputation is kept in perfect condition, come any trial that may arise.

- Mrs. Lillian Davies is Jekyll’s cook and head laundress. After severely injuring her leg in an east end wash house, Mrs. Davies found herself and her three children in desperate need for work and shelter. Enter Dr. Jekyll. When she is not in the kitchen preparing for lavish dinner parties or ensuring the master does not starve himself to death, Mrs. Davies spends her time instilling her values of hard work and integrity to her children.

- Mr. Niles Bradshaw serves as Jekyll’s footman and unofficial jester (much to everyone’s dismay). Jovial and charismatic, Bradshaw ensures that the house is never entirely quiet. His good looks are readily used to incite the attention of any woman he encounters, but unfortunately for him, never quite seem to catch the eye of the one person he actually wants to notice him…

- Ms. Valentine Davies is the youngest member of the staff at 15 years old, but her age is hardly noticed in the wake of her shining character and determination. After working several years under her mother’s tutorage as a scullery maid, Valentine worked herself through the ranks to become one of Jekyll’s housemaids. Kindhearted and empathic, Valentine is quick to endear herself to nearly everyone she encounters.

- Ms. Emily Waller is Jekyll’s infamously levelheaded chambermaid. Having come from several houses prior to working at No. 28 Leicester Sq, Emily has learned how to thrive in the cutthroat world of service, even if it is to her detriment. She is quiet, wise beyond her years, and knows far more than she would ever dare to say aloud, even to her friend and coworker Valentine.
