Arudha Lagna in the Signs

Arudha Lagna is how others perceive us (especially society/public/media). It is our projected and illusionary personality. Referred to as “the seat of Maya” Maya=illusion/Rahu. Which usually differs from our true personality represented by our Lagna/ Ascendant.

How to calculate Arudha Lagna?

1. Find your Lagna/ascendant the Lord (Aries ascendant-> Mars)

2. Count how many houses from your ascendant Lord to your ascendant. (ex. how many houses mars is from ascendant= 8 houses)

3. Count that same number from Ascendant lord. That is your Arudha Lagna (ex. 8 houses away from mars= Aquarius AL)

Benefics sitting in the Arudha can give a positive public image. Making one appear good and trustworthy, even if they aren’t.

Malefics sitting in the Arudha/or ruling the sign can tarnish one’s reputation, making the public distrustful or critical.

For example- Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu sitting in AL can tarnish one’s reputation

Signs ruled by Malefics such as Scorpio (Mars & Ketu), Aries (Mars), Capricorn & Aquarius ( Saturn) doesn’t have as severe of an effect as a malefic siting in AL. But it does make one appear controversial or questionable to public at some point in time.

AL In Aries- Bold, competitive, intimidating, leader, pioneer, aggressive, action oriented, sexual/ promiscuous

Women tend to be accused of competing with other women or men competing with other men

Ex. Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguilera, Muhammad Ali, Tyra Banks

AL in Taurus- Stable, grounded, Sensual, refined, gentle, patient, charismatic, trustworthy, noticed for voice, stubborn

Usually seen as harmless or down to earth. Like Libra, Venus ruled, they tend to be known for their sensuality & looks

Ex. Keanu Reeves, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars

AL in Gemini- intellectual, witty, youthful, curious, versatile, social, communicative, recognition from siblings

Tend to be recognized for their unique voice

Ex. Beyoncé, Madonna, Rita Hayworth, Mariah Carey

AL in Cancer- Sensitive, Gentle, Homebody, Comforting, Nurturing, Proud of country/heritage/family, Protective, intuitive, Caring, Empathetic, Moody, emotional

Home dynamics or family life can be put on the spotlight. Others see them a caring, mother like figure (unless malefic influence)

Ex. Princess Diana, JonBenét, Brandy

AL in Leo- Charismatic, Authoritative, creative, dramatic, Natural Leader, Arrogant, Center of Attention, Performer/arts, fashionable, someone of importance, Extroverted

Spotlight is always on them so they tend to gain fame & attention in whatever they do. Type to feel like all eyes are on you when entering a room.

Ex. Al Capone, Catherine Hepburn, Halle Berry, The Weeknd

AL in Virgo- Analytical, practical, intelligent, resourceful, reserved, health conscious, detail oriented, logical, rational, educated

They come off as controlled and put together. Can’t get them to react easily.

Ex. Prince Harry, Bruce Lee, Jennifer Lawrence

AL in Libra- Charming, diplomatic, balanced, harmonious, sociable, peaceful, intellectual, good at negotiating/comunicating, influential, Justice seeking

Tend to be either known for their beauty, charisma, or justice/law industry.

Ex. Monica Bellucci, Oprah, lady Gaga, Aubrey Hepburn, Barack Obama

AL in Scorpio- Mysteroius, intense, powerful, secretive, magnetic, respected, morally grey, dark, sexual/sexy, controversial, sensual, occultist/witch/astrologer, taboo, hiding secrets, Spiritual dangerous, seductive

Due to malefic Mars/Ketu influence they do tend to be very controversial but despite this they still turn out to be respected

Ex. Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone, Pamela Anderson, John F Kennedy, Jim Morrison, Bill Gates

AL in Sagittarius- Optimistic, philosophical, adventurous, independent, wise, free-spirited, benevolent, Justice seeking, educated, Humorous, experienced, travels a lot

They are seen as knowledgeable and in-tune with other cultures. They make good comedians, business owners, teachers

Ex. Jeff Bezos, Jacqueline Kennedy, Adam Ant, Demi Moore, Hugh Hefner

AL in Capricorn- Ambitious, disciplined, responsible, structured. authoritative, grounded, serious, mature, dignified, sturn, wiser than age, melancholy, pessimistic, cold

The list is questionable because Saturn influence can, like I said, make one appear questionable depending on other influences. But they make good leaders, business owners.

Ex. Lana del Rey, Adolf Hitler, Charlie Chaplin, Angela Merkel, Brad Pitt

AL in Aquarius- Innovative, unconventional, intellectual, humanitarian, forward-thinking, eccentric, unorthodox, friendly, good with media/technology, rebellious, cares about welfare of society/world, leader, influencer

People usually say their style, ideas & attitude are ahead of their time, due to Rahu.

Ex. Steve Irwin, Cher, Tamera Mowry

AL in Pisces-Spiritual, imaginative, empathetic, dreamy, otherworldly, artistic, siren like, mysterious, gentle, kind, serious, spiritual/devoted, adventurous, open-minded, philosophical, interested in higher learning/knowledge, introverted, emotional

Seen as creative, artistic (music, art, acting etc). Inventing/creating something new. Emotional imbalance/mental illnesses might get public attention

Ex. Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Elon Musk, Picasso, Ariana Grande

Disclaimer- some of the people I listed have two Arudha Lagnas (ie Scorpio Asc or Aquarius Asc) ex Princess Diana Cancer & Aquarius AL

I tried to find both positive & negative representations

Astromartine has a very knowledgeable playlist; going more in depth for each Arudha Lagna & Arudha houses

hey.. *slides 50 dollars* what are the costumes for this year Halloween the residents are wearing ?

fjdkslafjsd THANK YOU!! Hmm how fun! Here's what I think they'd be the second Halloween spent with Y/N (Trouvaille, btw!) :

Seokjin - Bro. He was a devil the first Halloween, so I think he'd go with angel (Saltburn style) the second. kfdalfjdals.

Yoongi - Honestly I think he'd really get into the TV Y/N watched as a teen like Supernatural, etc... I could see him going as a Shadowhunter.

Hoseok - There are two things he would consider: scary and sexy. Think Ghostface (but like this) or maybe Jack Skellington (this)

Namjoon - Fox Mulder from the X-files! Or some kind of character from a David Lynch project, perhaps Agent Cooper.

Jimin - Ponyboy Curtis from The Outsiders, or maybe Indiana Jones (hot). A greaser or an adventurer....

Taehyung - Jim Morrison or Luke Skywalker. I cannot explain why but both would be perfect.

Jeongguk - Kind of a party pooper but I think the second Halloween he'd be in the house Y/N would convince him to dress up. I think he'd end up going as John Constantine (iykyk ;)) or,,,, hear me out,,,,, a priest....

#everything you need to know about rock

Keith Richards.

The whale had to literally "grow up to be an instrument." Grandpa Gus, a jazz musician, teased his grandson's interest by hanging an acoustic guitar on a higher wall with the words : "When you get it, I'll let you play."

UK rock musicians are a friendly community where everyone knows each other. Every talented guitarist became famous two or three weeks after his appearance in London. John Wetton did not stay idle for long after the collapse of King Crimson. One day he received an envelope with an invitation to attend a rehearsal of the famous band "Jurai Hip", which needed a professional bass guitarist. In early 1975, Yuri Hip lost one of its musicians, Gary Thane, who died of a drug overdose. John Wetton replaced him, and very successfully. The appearance of an experienced musician in the band changed the atmosphere radically. John, a powerful generator of new ideas, became the real leader of the group.

John Anderson's most famous project after the Yes band was the duo Jon and Vangelis — with the legendary keyboardist and film composer. They first crossed paths back in the mid-70s, and then we'll give the floor to John:

So, I got Vangelis's phone number, he lived in Paris, I went and called him. He said (feigning a rude Greek accent) "Hello." I said, "My name is John Anderson." He asked: "What?" I replied: "I sing in a band called Yes." He said: "Are you a singer? Well, come on over." And I came. I was greeted by a tall and sturdy man in a long caftan. He had a bow and arrows slung over his shoulder. I followed him to a luxurious apartment that was located near the Champs-Elysees. We walked down the long hallway leading to the living room. And then Vangelis took out a bow, pulled the string and shot an arrow along the corridor — it hit the open window exactly. I said: "Vangelis, you could have killed someone." He said, "Oh, don't worry, I'm Greek." I said: "I know you're Greek, but damn..." And he was already busy at the stove. In general, I was crazy about this reaction."

The story of the song "The End" by The Doors.

According to the band members, this song was conceived as an ordinary farewell song after Jim Morrison broke up with his girlfriend Mary Werbelow. During the creative process, however, it gradually became more complicated and modified, overgrown with universal images.

The album version consists of two glued parts. The second, which appeared later, the "Oedipus" part was added to the first directly from the words "The killer awoke before dawn", which can be detected by changing the sound when listening carefully. The song was recorded the morning after Morrison's next "frenzy", possibly still under the influence of drugs. Morrison replaced the censored "fuck you" in the "oedipal" part with an inarticulate mumble.

The song is included in the list of the top five hundred according to Rolling Stone magazine (No. 328); the guitar solo of the song is ranked 93rd in the list of the 100 best guitar solos according to Guitar World magazine.

Richie Blackmore.

During his school years, Richie was actively involved in javelin throwing and swimming. Richie hated his studies and teachers for their formalism and suppression of non-standard thinking among students.

Year-End Poll #18: 1967

[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Lulu, The Box Tops, Bobbie Gentry, The Association, The Monkees, The Doors, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, The Turtles, The Young Rascals, Frankie Valli. End description]

More information about this blog here

Moving on to 1967. As mentioned in one of the previous 60's polls, we're seeing how rock and roll is continuing to shift throughout this decade. With the debut of The Doors, psychedelic rock is starting to take hold within the genre. Even beyond rock music, with acts like The Association and The Turtles, that psychedelic descriptor will start applying to pop music as well as the psychedelia subculture truly takes hold in the decade. In the classic rock canon, 1967 is considered one of the greatest years the genre has to offer. And just looking at the projects and artists that debuted this year, that reputation doesn't feel like an exaggeration. Since these polls are strictly focused on the very top of the Billboard year-end Hot 100, I won't go too much into that. But just to give you an idea, this was the debut year of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fleetwood Mac, Blood Sweat & Tears, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Sgt. Pepper, and many more. Trust me, I'm making a bunch of painful cuts from this list alone.

We're also seeing the mainstream rise of Blue-eyed soul, a term used to describe white R&B singers at the time. While originally used by radio DJ, Georgie Woods, to introduce the Righteous Brothers, the term soon expanded until now some would classify it as a genre of its own. However, to paraphrase musician, writer, and political activist, Darrell McNeill, BES is primarily a marketing term. Since he explains the phenomenon and context far better than I can, here's a link to an article where he's quoted.

Much like how yesterday's poll was marked by an important cultural moment, we have another one today. This is the first poll that has a nipple on the banner. Yay! Congratulations Jim Morrison. Spoilers: he won't be the last. But this isn't a nipple poll, so they're all winners.

DC Studios | Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters

Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters:

Creature Commandos: An animated seven episode series, written by Gunn, that is already in production. Originally a team of classic monsters assembled to fight Nazis, this is a modern take on the concept. The voice actors have yet to be cast but the executives are looking to find people who can voice the animated characters and also portray the live-action versions when the anti-heroes to show up in movies and shows.

Waller: A spin-off of Gunn’s own HBO Max hit series, Peacemaker, Viola Davis will return as the ruthless and morally ambiguous head of a government task force. It is being written by Christal Henry (Watchmen) and Jeremy Carver, the creator of the Doom Patrol TV series.

Superman: Legacy: The movie featuring the Man of Steel that Gunn is writing and may direct, although no commitments on that end have been made. While the two previous titles are meant to be “aperatifs,” in Safran’s words, Superman is the true kick off for the duo’s DCU plans. “It’s not an origin story,” Safran said. “It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks that kindness as old-fashioned.” A release date of July 11, 2025 has been penciled in.

Lanterns: Greg Berlanti’s long-in-the-works Green Lanterns TV series has been scrapped and the duo have parted ways with the longtime DC series steward. In its place will be a new take on the space cops with power rings. “Our vision for this is very much in the vein of True Detective,” Safran described. “It’s terrestrial-based.” It will feature prominent Lantern heroes Hal Jordan and John Stewart and is one of the most important shows they have in development. “This plays a really big role in leading into the main story we are telling across film and TV.”

The Authority: a movie based on a team of superheroes with rather extreme methods of protecting the planet that first originated in the late 1990s under an influential imprint known as Wildstorm, run by artist and now head of DC publishing, Jim Lee. “One of the things of the DCU is that it’s not just a story of heroes and villains,” said Gunn. “Not every film and TV show is going to be about good guy vs. bad guy, giant things from the sky comes and good guy wins. There are white hats, black hats and grey hats.” Added Safran: “They are kinda like Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. They know that you want them on the wall. Or at least they believe that.”

Paradise Lost: The duo describe this HBO Max series as a Game of Thrones-style drama set on the all-female island that is Wonder Woman’s birthplace, Themyscira, filled with political intrigue and scheming between power players. It takes place before the events of the Wonder Woman films.

The Brave and the Bold: “This is the introduction of the DCU Batman,” said Gunn. “Of Bruce Wayne and also introduces our favorite Robin, Damian Wayne, who is a little son of a bitch.” The movie will take inspiration from the now-classic Batman run written by Grant Morrison that introduced Batman to a son he never knew existed: a murderous tween raised by assassins. “It’s a very strange father-and-son story.”

And, importantly, it will feature a Batman not played by Robert Pattinson…

Booster Gold: an HBO Max series based on a unique and lower-tiered hero created in 1986. Safran said of the series, “It’s about a loser from the future who uses basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero.” Gunn described it as “imposter syndrome as superhero.”

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow: Taking its cues from the recent Tom King-written mini-series, this movie project promises to have a different take than what most think of when the idea of Superman’s cousin comes to mind. “We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth. She is much more hardcore and not the Supergirl we’re used to.”

Swamp Thing: a horror film that promises to close out the first part of the first chapter.

Now that you have your obsession with Dennis Wilson, will you still be posting about Keith J. Moon?

Of course I will!

I mean, I can get new obsession, aka butterflies appearing in my stomach when I see Dennis Wilson...or Joe Strummer... But a year have passed since a obsession finished and I didn't post anything about a guy I like.

For example: I still reblog posts with Jim Morrison. He was my first old rock crush. Sure, it ain't as strong of a crush as it used to be, but I still like him a lot.

Don't take Beatlemania phase in consideration, this was a weird one, I still can't explain why I was so bonkers about them.

But the best example would be John Bonham I think. No matter what age, I see him and I get giggly. I'm not posting too much, since I don't consider myself that big of a fan of Led Zeppelin - plus the content of this bandom is mostly Robert and Jimmy - but whenever I have the chance I will freaking reblog and post things about Bonzo!

So yeah, Keith ain't going nowhere from this blog. Plus I did start two smaller fic projects considering him - one is settled in the "That'll be the day" movie so it's basically a fic with J. D. Clover and my humble ofc, second is a random idea suggested by my bestie to experiment with the idea of how would it be if Keith was alive an old so a self-interest story with grandpa Keith.

AND I'm starting to experiment with the idea that was lurking in my mind since the last year, so a story where I'm with Keith, meeting him in 1975 and being his girlfriend. The initial goal of this was to save him from dying - this one-shot was the first one I've written with Keith - but overtime it became so much more than this.

The Lost Boys fanfic

(Title is a work in progress)

The Santa Carla boardwalk was bustling with tourists and locals alike, and while the sun lowered beyond the horizon, Victoria began making her way to the beachfront stage. The people of Santa Carla knew her well; for the Rockstar stage presence, man-eater mentality, and carefree outlook on life. Victoria had finally made a name for herself in the city she's called home for decades, which probably isn't a good thing, considering she'll be around forever. Literally.

Victoria and her father, Max, live quaintly and quietly atop one of the many hills surrounding the coast. However, Victoria's made her second home in an unlikely one. A sunken hotel on the cliffside where she can lure men to feed on in peace without the worry of having to dispose of remains. Although she hangs there alone, it's the perfect place where she can be herself and not have to live in fear of her father. Max can be quite overbearing and controlling most of the time, and tends to project his worries onto Victoria, making her extremely self aware. That's probably why she's now so outspoken and free-spirited. Victoria cut loose from her father the first night she sang on the beachfront stage, and since then, she's become an icon of the boardwalk. A staple to it's culture.

And how could Max possibly object? Victoria had found a new way to make a living, and scope out food in the process, which was just an added bonus to the fame that came along with it. So, after that fateful night, Max began working at a video store on the boardwalk and worked his way up to owner, after the original one mysteriously disappeared. Since her father now owns the video store, Victoria has free reign of the boardwalk and beach to do whatever she pleases and whenever she likes. Which is how we end up here.

The 70's was Victoria's favorite decade out of all that she'd lived through thus far. The style, the music, the people. It pained her heart that as 1977 was coming to an end, she'd only have two years left, and with the rise of hard rock, and new fashion trends, Victoria was unhappy to say the least. So, as a tribute to her favorite decade, she performed Take it Easy by the Eagles first, followed by a song from one of her favorite bands: Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac.

Everyone was ecstatic. Victoria was surrounded by her people, as the populace sang along with her. The crowd was full of hippies, stoners, skaters, and fans of all walks of life. And, best of all, they were all there to see her. Performing is what gave Victoria life to her cold, dead heart. It brought a new meaning to her life and she gives all credit to The Doors. Her first love, as she likes to claim. Jim Morrison brought a lively spirit to her nonexistent one. Hearing him live at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, back in 1967, made a lasting impact on her. And thus began her love for music and lust to perform.

As she rounded off the end of Go Your Own Way, a boy in the crowd caught her eye. He was dressed in casual, skater attire, and had fluffy blonde hair. Although, those weren't the attributes that fixated her attention. The way he looked up at her: enamored, almost in a trance as she sang. His round, blue eyes trained on her every move. Victoria had never been the prey before, but in this moment, the roles were reversed. She felt like a field mouse as a hawk watched from a nearby tree branch. Completely unable to be free of his gaze. He intently viewed as she placed the microphone back on its stand and announced that she'd be singing one last song. The crowd groaned, but it quickly turned into applause and hoots and hollers when Victoria sang the first line of Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas. Victoria had never cut a set this short by only performing three songs, but the uneasiness she felt from being so closely observed by the boy, who was now as close as he could be to the stage, was increasingly growing. He seemed to be in a zombie-like trance, if zombies fed on looks and not brains.

Finally, the song had ended and Victoria profusely apologized to the crowd for such a short set before exiting the stage and making a beeline for her father's store. Unfortunately for her, the boy was tailing her, as well as calling after her by whatever nicknames he could think of. Curse the crowd for chanting her name as she left, because he was now calling her exclusively by name. Victoria fought the urge to turn around as she picked up her pace. But, she could hear his steps quicken too, and the way her name fell from his lips was almost intoxicating. He spoke with a soft demand, almost begging her to turn around. Needing her to. Victoria kept her pace, but searched her pockets for anything she may have dropped as if to find a reason to justify him following her. However, her belongings were just as they had been the moment she left her house. Now she knew for a fact that there would be no other reason for him to be hightailing it behind her other than his admiration for her.

Eventually, the video store came into view and although she knew she wouldn't be safe from him even in there, she no longer heard him calling out for her. Assuming he gave up, Victoria slowed her pace, but as she reached the video store doors, a hand came up from beside her, opening the door for her. She swiveled her head to follow the arm of the person opening the door, and sure enough, it was that same boy now smiling softly at her.

"Hi", he nearly inaudibly whispered, "Name's Paul".

Author's note: not a very good first chapter, but it's alright, just a tad short... let me know how you feel about it! i'm really excited to continue this story as this movie (The Lost Boys) truly means a lot to me. please give me a follow if you aren't already following. i plan to upload more fics and stories here in the future as i feel it would be a great way to expose my writing. thank you so much for reading!! you can follow my tiktok where i post about my fanfics: @ / thatfangirl_

[shake-your-money-maker]

On this date in 1991, "Point Break" was released.

Development of "Point Break" began in 1986, when W. Peter Iliff wrote an initial treatment for the film. Matthew Broderick, Johnny Depp, Val Kilmer, and Charlie Sheen all being considered to play the Johnny Utah character, with Ridley Scott directing. However production fell through. Four years later, after acquiring the screenplay, the producers of "Point Break," Peter Abrams and Robert L. Levy, began looking for a director. At the time, executive producer James Cameron was married to director Kathryn Bigelow, who had just completed "Blue Steel" and was looking for her next project. Only Iliff is credited for the screenplay, but Cameron has said that he did a considerable amount of writing with Bigelow for the final film, helping to establish a better plot flow.

"Point Break" was originally called "Johnny Utah" when Keanu Reeves was cast in the title role. Reeves liked the name of his character, as it reminded him of star athletes like Johnny Unitas and Joe Montana. He described his character as "a total control freak and the ocean beats him up and challenges him. After a while, everything becomes a game. He becomes as amoral as any criminal. He loses the difference between right and wrong."

The studio, however, felt that "Johnny Utah" as a title said very little about surfing and by the time Patrick Swayze was cast, the film had been renamed "Riders on the Storm" after the famous song by The Doors. However, Jim Morrison's lyrics had nothing to do with the film and so that title was also rejected. It was not until halfway through filming that "Point Break" became the film's title because of its relevance to surfing.

Two months before filming, Lori Petty, Reeves and Swayze trained with former world-class professional surfer Dennis Jarvis on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Jarvis remembers, "Patrick said he'd been on a board a couple of times, Keanu definitely had not surfed before, and Lori had never been in the ocean in her life." Shooting the surfing sequences proved to be challenging for all three actors, with Swayze cracking four of his ribs. For many of the surfing scenes, he refused to use a stunt double as he never had one for fight scenes or car chases. He also did the skydiving scenes himself and the film's aerial jump instructor Jim Wallace found that he was a natural and took to it right away. Swayze ended up making 55 jumps for the film.

Swayze actually based aspects of his character after one of his stunt doubles, Darrick Doerner, a top big wave surfer. After learning to surf for the film, Reeves took a liking to it and took it up as a hobby.

Projected City - Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

The waterfront light show,

a spectacle of wonder and awe,

On towering shipping containers,

that reach for the sky.

The city skyline aglow,

with a mesmerizing display,

Projected stories of our history,

unfold before our eyes.

Through veils of dry ice smoke,

the past comes alive,

A tapestry of memories,

that capture our attention.

Jim Morrison said it best,

we are riders on the storm,

And in this moment,

we are transported to another time.

The waterfront light show,

a celebration of our city's past,

A reminder of all that we've been,

and all that we can be.

Just started reading Daisy Jones & The Six and I gotta ask - who would you have cast had you been in charge for the TV series?

Honestly, I don't really know. I had people I might've cast at the time (like, four years ago) but so much has changed since then and I don't necessarily feel the same way.

I diiid like the idea of Florence Pugh as Daisy back in the day, and I maintain that. I feel like Daisy needed to be played by someone who could be both realistically battered and realistically ethereal, and... a good actress.... Florence is all of those things. For Billy, in my mind's eye I always pictured more of an Aaron Taylor-Johnson type (not saying ATJ, just talking the Look, though hey, he did play Lennon)--bigger than Sam, obviously beautiful but also obviously a part of the kind of reactive masculinity of the era.

I mean. The show, at certain points, very obviously tried to draw from Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson's aesthetics to an obnoxious degree with Billy and Daisy. And while Daisy was traaaansparently a Stevie rip in the book, Billy, imo, probably had to do not only with Lindsey but with people like Morrison. Because frankly, I don't think Lindsey on his own has the kind of mystique that Stevie has (I mean... I know he doesn't lol) and TJR wanted that for her male lead. However, I think that Sam and Riley were both super poor choices for transmitting that kind of mystique. To be blunt, I think that Riley's heritage went a long way towards ensuring she was cast, and I kind of roll my eyes when they try to suggest that it had nothing to do with it. You're gonna tell me that the fact that she's the granddaughter of "The King of Rock 'n Roll", however dubious that title may be, had NOTHING to do with her being cast in your fake music biopic? ... okay.

And while I don't think Sam is a bad actor, I do think his Billy was such a fucking sad sack. Essentially neutered. Billy was supposed to be this super compelling frontman, capable of being both a good father and husband and of falling into his demons. There was absolutely no edge to Sam's Billy. He gave big "starts crying midway through sex and not in a good way" vibes. But I think that was totally intentional, because they didn't want Billy to be as problematic and aggressive onscreen as he was in the book. They wanted to sanitize this whole deal and turn it into a Billy/Daisy romantic melodrama.

ANYWAY. One thing I do know is that they basically lost the plot as soon as they turned the whole thing into a cash grab with the music. Because I sincerely do not care if anyone in that project could sing in real life. They're supposed to be acting. Like, I don't even think Sam and Riley had Billy and Daisy's vocal qualities anyway, so who cares.....

Batman Headcanons, Opinions & Headcanon Timeline

I personally like a Batman who abides closely to his no-kill rule, but firmly believes that his enemy's life is forfeit if they go too far. KGBeast is an example of Batman willing to take a life to ensure the safety of others and, me personally, while Batman shouldn't liberally murder people, I don't think it's out-of-chracter for him to be willing to make exceptions to his rule without becoming corrupted, like he fears. In regards to his character in-general, think an Adam West who breaks bones; he takes no pleasure in using focused violence as a necessary means to take his opponents out, considering he's a normal guy who operates in the most dangerous city on the planet and is constantly fighting super-powered villains and literal monsters on a nightly basis, but does enjoy being Batman all the same and smiles more often than people tend to realize/want to admit.

The Batmobile should be car. I'm sick of the damn tank.

As for the timeline:

Batman: Year One

Legends Of The Dark Knight: Gothic/Shaman

Legends Of The Dark Knight: Prey

Batman: Year Two

Legends Of The Dark Knight: Faith/Flyer

Batman: Full Circle

Batman: Ego & Other Tales

Pretty much most of the Golden Age, Silver Age & Bronze Age runs on both Batman AND Detective Comics from 1940 - 1987

Mike Barr's Detective Comics run and Jim Starlin's Batman run (for those who don't know, Detective Comics and Batman are two different comic runs)

Batman: Son Of The Demon

The Dark Knight Returns: The Last Crusade

Batman: A Lonely Place Of Dying -> Batman: Dark Night, Dark City -> Batman: Bride Of The Demon, and finally -> Chuck Dixon's Robin run

All of 90s Batman, including Graham Nolan, Alan Grant, Dennis O'Neil and Chuck Dixon's runs on the character throughout the three runs (at the time): Shadow Of The Bat, Detective Comics & Batman

Batman: Under The Red Hood (animated movie, not the comic)

Grant Morrison's Batman

Batman Incorporated

Batman: War On Crime

Batman Universe

Batman: Dark Detective

Batman Beyond

In-between all of it, Bruce Timm's Justice League & Justice League Unlimited are my headcanon JLA stories. None of the spin-off material is canon to me, though; so no "Zeta Project" or "Static Shock" (nothing against either of those, it's just that neither is important to me).

These photos were taken by Hervé Muller at the Bar “Alexander” in Paris in May 1971. In these candid snaps you can see how Jim is in a good mood, eating and drinking with friends in Paris, jokes and tells of his personal projects, he also makes faces at the camera. None of them could ever think that a little later, Jim would be died in his apartment in Paris on July 3, 1971.

His death came two years to the day after the death of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones and approximately nine months after the deaths of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin — all of whom died at the age of 27. Three years after his death, Courson also died at the age of 27.
