Saw someone else doing this while going through a show I love's tag here on tumblr, so I thought I'd give it a try! Here we go:

Walter Bishop, Fringe

The Lady Olenna Tyrell, Game of Thrones

Lila Facchini, Sense8

Elektra Abundance, Pose

Dr. Ellie Sattler, Jurassic Park

Hernando Fuentes, Sense8

Ruth Fisher, Six Feet Under

Margaret Chenowith, Six Feet Under (could not find any gifs of this absolute icon :( )

Nebula, Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy / MCU

Jenna Maroney, 30 Rock

This was fun!! This was also very difficult, and I tried to limit myself to only pick one character from each movie/show/franchise (and I mostly did lol), I honestly just have so, so many more favourite characters, so perhaps I'll make a Part 2 at some point!

And now I'm gonna tag some mutuals to make it a challenge!

@letherwonder @cyan--scientist @aegisblaze @once-on-a-cloud @nonsequiturpizza @crosstheking @reggimuffins and @jimbalump

Do the challenge if you want to, I'd love to see your choices! Just save the top image and make your own list <3

You know, all this sarcasm impedes your prana.

reading splinters finally made me listen to youre a good man Charlie Brown and omg?? this musical!! im so obsessed and so happy that you might do a spin-off about the rehearsals. I know Nikolai is Snoopy plus a few others that you've mentioned in the fic, but are you able to confirm the rest of the cast?

EEEEEEEEEEE im glad you listened to it! :D listen yagmcb is so silly and i could talk about it for HOURS because like. there's so much to take in. (also im beyond curious about whether you listened to the original or if you listened to the revival; both are fantastic, though the revival has a few changes and additions!)

regarding the cast for yagmcb in the fic, the show actually has a very small cast! i based it both off my research and also when i did the show myself. the named characters are actually very small in the show-- there's only a few, plus the ensemble! depending on the production/director, they might add in named characters/scenes (i know my director did). also, originally, sally wasn't a character-- her role was instead peppermint patty's. they changed it later on (and ofc then kristen chenowith the legend played her which was iconic af), but--

sorry. got sidetracked LMAO

ANYWHO! Here's the castlist!

Charlie Brown - Ace

Lucy Van Pelt - Lucy Montgomery

Linus Van Pelt - Karma

Patty - Tanizaki Naomi

Schroeder - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Snoopy - Nikolai Gogol

the director for the production at yokohama high elected not to have an ensemble considering the wild cast above. it was probably the best decision he could make, plus not abnormal. (iirc i made bram stoker the director but dont fact check me on that. in fact there is no way to fact check that SHDFKGHSDKJGHDS)

the crew includes Poe, who is a student director, Margaret Mitchell, Lovecraft(? i wrote that a while ago) and more though i cant rm who rn

again, glad you listened to the musical! :D its literally so fun and so silly and charlie brown literally is just a pathetic little guy the whole time

"Margaret: The Forever 20 Something" 

 I could feel blood starting to trickle down  my legs. I just ignored it. 

“Margaret!” My stage manager called. “Are you ready? Curtains up in 15 minutes.” I wasn’t showing enough yet under my costume, and Broadway wanted to keep me as the face of the show as long as possible. Fuck I have to tell Mike before I tell my stage manager. 

“ Sweetie!” A  thick New York accent exclaimed “ You are far too pretty to be sad, you're going to cry off your makeup.” Dolly said, my onstage antagonist and my real life best friend. Was I crying? “I’m gonna do the show,” I said coldly. Dolly was the only one who knew I was pregnant.

“ Margaret, babes you don’t have to.” She said sympathetically but I could tell she also wanted me to do it . We can’t send the crowd away. And I wasn't gonna give the spotlight to my understudy, what if they liked her more. It was my first broadway gig and I wasn’t going to let it slip away from me. We put two pads in and my costume over top. I strut onto the stage with a sense of duty. Somehow this was for my daughter, even though I’ll never meet her. She can hear me sing and do what I love as she goes. Tears streamed down my face the entire performance, but the audience is too far away to fully see it. Despite my third day of terrible cramps, I didn't want to call in sick again. My doctor had said that cramping in my second trimester wasn’t abnormal but if it persisted I should go get it checked out. But I knew. I knew I had lost her. It felt the same as last year. 

The blinding lights shut off as I did my last bow. My first Standing ovation… maybe the tears made it better. I don’t really remember what happened next. I remember lying in my bed for what felt like years. I remember telling my daughter Laura “ her baby sister, wasn’t quite ready so she went back up through the window to heaven and is going to come back soon.”

“But mommy, can I go through the window to heaven?” My daughter asked looking up at me with her head in my bosom. I didn’t know what to say. 

“ Only angels can see the window into heaven, and your little sister was a little angel. But don’t worry she’s gonna come back to us soon.” I barely croaked out. 

I’m not sure how but I was only out for a month. Broadway gave me my job back but I had to understudy my understudy as she was now getting standing ovations every night. It killed my ego. My first night as the lead, the crowd went crazy. Press was everywhere, cameras and flashing lights couldn’t get enough of me. Headlines like “ The best voice since Kiristen Chenowith''... I was addicted to their praise.

Mike was waiting for me at a pub in Brooklyn one night after my show with our toddler Laura. At the venue I paused to indulge the paparazzi. I was still in my flapper girl hair style and my new slip dress. God it was scary how intoxicating this attention was. I let out an exhale of smoke and let them take my photo. A thought synapses across my brain like the flash of their cameras. My period was late again, could it possibly be? Guilt hung over me as it was unlikely Mikes if I was. I pushed the thought aside as nonsense and went in.

So I finished Six Feet Under a few weeks ago. Here’s my take:

-Brenda was the absolute WORST character in my opinion. From episode 1, I could not STAND her. Now, don’t get me wrong, I tried my best to give her the benefit of the doubt, but honestly from beginning to end, she was awful. For instance, she sleeps around with a shit ton of dudes and her brother threatens her fiance on NUMEROUS occasions, but the minute Nate tells her that he slept with Lisa ONCE and she got pregnant all of a sudden it’s the end of the world? 

-Now I started watching this because I knew Michael C. Hall was in it, but I didn’t wanna go in thinking I was going to LOVE his character and that he wouldn’t have flaws. I’ll be honest, I didn’t. David was so uptight in the beginning so he was lowkey annoying at first. But as the show went on, he loosened up a bit. And overall, I felt really bad for him because of how he kinda viewed himself.

-Billy was very up and down for me. I totally understand, he was mentally ill, but he was not redeemable whatsoever in the beginning and Brenda did NOT help him whatsoever. Like I get they had a traumatic life and their parents are awful and he had a mental illness. But, Billy was awful. However, when they brought him back, he was pretty wonderful and I think the distance from Brenda also helped. I’ll be honest, when him and Claire were first together, I loved their relationship. I wish it could have continued, but of course it did not and that kinda went to hell. Now like I’ve said before, I TOTALLY get that he had a mental illness and it was a very real depiction of this mental illness, but it was really hard to feel for Billy in the beginning.

-The only thing that pissed me off about Ruth was how much of a bitch she became after George came back home after getting ECT. She really treated him like an inconvenience and a burden. Now I get that George wasn’t the best once they were married, but it seemed like he had been trying SO hard once he got back, but she treated him like shit.

-Then there’s Keith. I couldn’t stand him for most of the show. Up until about the last season. He treated David like shit but then complained that David acted like a doormat. Dude, you literally are treating him like a doormat! I get David had his faults, but Keith did not deserve David whatsoever.

-The amount of times I said, “What are YOU doing here?” while watching the show was insane. The amount of guest stars on that show was insane! Also, why is it that every time Michael Weston is guest starring on a show, his character is completely AWFUL?!? Guess he’s just good at it.

-Olivier? Terrible. The worst. The show could have just not had him in it and it would have been better.

-The Chenowith parents? Horrible human beings. MOSTLY the mom. She was the most narcissistic bitch ever. Doesn’t mean I think Brenda is okay, cause she is still awful.

-Lisa? She deserved better.

-I absolutely CALLED Lisa’s sister threatening to take Maya. I’m glad they didn’t let that get too far, but I definitely called it.

-I feel like Claire should have been more understanding of Russel considering he was basically coerced by Olivier.

-I feel like there were times where Rico was terrible, but overall, he was a decent guy who was trying to support his family. Vanessa on the other hand? Could not stand her in the least. And her sister was even worse.

-Nate was overall not a terrible character in my opinion. Scared of commitment? Definitely. However, the last season he started teetering on a litle rotten. And then he died which I was definitely NOT expecting. I didn’t think the AVM was gonna come back up.

-Bettina was a good friend to be honest and Kathy Bates is always great.

-I do wish that they didn’t have some of the loose ends that there were. Like with Lisa’s brother-in-law? Nate figures shit out and then he confronts him and then he offs himself and then that’s it? Like there’s no mention really of it at all. Another sort of loose end was Gabriel. He takes off and we don’t really hear about him and then he shows up with all the dead people Claire sees. So, yea we assume he’s dead, but they just kinda threw that at us.

Overall, I really enjoyed the show and I did like the ending, even though it made me cry. I got very invested in the show and I wish it was longer than 5 seasons to be honest. Yes, there were a lot of characters I didn’t like, but the show was very enjoyable. Also, I didn’t really form much of an opinion on Nathaniel because most of his scenes were him after he was dead so it was kind of hard to see how he was as a person because we don’t really know. But I did enjoy the little scenes he would show up in. Made the show interesting seeing how everyone kind of saw him differently.

Brenda truly is her mother’s daughter, which we see as the two of them have a number of exchanges in which the lines of dialogue could be reversed and sound just as plausible. Brenda: “This client of mine is a prostitute.” Margaret: “So? Is that supposed to shock me?” And then Brenda accuses her of being a narcissist. Later, after Margaret catches the other woman in the spa parking lot and throws a grabby tantrum, she turns the tables on Brenda. Brenda: “Why am I here? Why was it necessary for me to be here with you for this? Because you needed a fucking audience.” Margaret: “Not everything’s about you, Brenda.” This is what happens when you get two oblivious narcissists in the same car.

For your information, miss high-and-mighty: this is life! People have crises, they push each other's buttons, they inflict pain on one another and once in a fucking blue moon they bring out the best in each other. But mostly they bring out the worst.
