Tristin Dugray lore hcs

wc: 1k

warnings: mentions of broken/dysfunctional families, tristin's siblings both have drug problems, mentions of sexism and abortion (v briefly), mentions of cheating (also v briefly), tristin is not super close with his siblings, brief mention of DUIs (not tristin), I think that's it??

summary: lore on Tristin's family whipped up in my little plastic play kitchen by yours truly lol

a/n: I MISS HIM!!!! I SAW SOME GIFS THAT MADE ME SALIVATE!!!!! also!! in case it wasn't obvious the Dugray family is based on the real life Dupont family, just like how the Huntzbergers are based on the Sulzbergers

song recs: family jewels - Marina (ouch!), be here - palaye royale, everything is romantic - charli xcx

The Dugray family have made their fortune as far back as the American revolution, starting with immigrating to America and manufacturing gunpowder for the American soldiers

This eventually led to the Dugray family owning one of the largest and most established chemical manufacturing corporations in America, DuGray

They invented a number of household names like pyrex, teflon, styrofoam, and even superglue, and also make ppe for people who work with or around chemicals

A while back, they also acquired two bank chains on the east coast, one of which is for east coast businesses, and the other is expanding slowly across america. 

The Dugray family’s net worth is roughly 18.6 billion. I know. 

Also, the Huntzberger family’s net worth is roughly 21.7 billion. I know.

Tristin mentions at one point that he has a “matching set” of baggage with Paris, and we know Paris’s parents are not at all close to her, or each other

We also know that her father is the head of a pharmaceutical company, and when her parents divorced it was in the newspaper

So yikes!

Anyway the only family mentioned by name is Janlon Dugrey, his paternal grandfather (I’m assuming if Janlon was his mom’s dad he would have a different last name yk)

So OBVIOUSLY I had to flesh things out a little 

Looking at this family tree I made a while ago, Tristin has two older siblings: his oldest brother Royce, and his older sister and middle sibling Sutton

They’re both a bit older than Tristin, since his mom is their dad’s second wife

Truett DuGrey married Helena Holshire and had Royce, then Sutton

They divorced when Royce was around 7 and Sutton was almost 5 because Helena suspected Truett of cheating, and Truett suspected Helena of being a gold digger

Both were true

A couple years later, Truett is introduced to Blythe Ross while working on publicity for the banks his family as acquired 

Blythe and Truett didn’t necessarily get along, but she could handle him better than most other women he’s met 

They were actually introduced through Mitchum Huntzberger and his wife Shira, because Shira and Blythe are sisters

Surprise!

So Blythe gets pregnant and Truett can feel another Helena gold digger situation coming

That’s when Blythe tells him she can’t go to his work event because she has to go to a clinic

Truett stops in his tracks and realizes three things at the same time

Blythe is not in fact using a pregnancy to try and get access to his money

He loves his son Royce as much as he’s able to, but he’s already becoming apathetic and Truett can’t pass over the family business to someone with no drive or ambition

Royce is 10 by the way

Lastly, he realizes that this might actually be beneficial to him

So he convinces Blythe not to get an abortion and to elope instead

Once she gets her body back after the baby they’ll stage some wedding photos and claim it was from a little over a year ago so no one knows he had the baby out of wedlock

When she’s 18 weeks along, he schedules a private ultrasound to find out the baby’s gender

He tells her that if it’s a boy, everything will be fine

If it’s a girl, he’ll serve her annulment papers and nice fat alimony and child support checks to keep both of them out of his life

Blythe isn’t sure if she’s relieved or not when the doctors announce they’re going to be having a healthy baby boy, but Truett sure is

So he grows up watching his burnt out older brother and back bone of the family older sister navigate middle school and high school when he’s barely starting kindergarten

They don’t have any harsh feelings toward Tristin

Not really

They were just never that close yk

It’s like the pilot of umbrella academy, “we only see each other at weddings and funerals”

Except really, they only see each other when Truett forces them into whatever is going on with the family business, or to bail each other out of trouble

Royce is just waiting for his trust fund to kick in so he can fuck off and smoke weed in peace

Sutton is desperately trying to keep her image and life together while hiding her nicotine dependency and steadily growing pill problem from the public eye

And Tristin just wants to fucking feel something

His mom has been in and out of “med spas” and “wellness retreats” for so long he wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t recognize him, and the only time he and his dad talk is when he’s making charges go away

Sutton is engaged to this guy Clint

And he’s fine or whatever, Tristin hasn’t really talked to him much before

But he’s keeping his ear to the ground to make sure he treats his sister right

Sure Sutton can be condescending and a total control freak and act more like a mom than his actual mom

But she’s still his sister

So Sutton’s been off planning this huge wedding and trying to start some lifestyle brand for luxury dog beds and organic phone cases or something

Royce barely managed to keep his latest DUI for driving stoned under wraps but Truett still found out and sent him off to rehab

So Tristin starts high school at Chilton feeling almost lonelier than ever

Tristin aches for consistency, for stability

Thanks to Duncan and Bowman he sort of has that

And people like Paris that he’s literally been in school with since he can remember

It’s not that they’re particularly close, but he just likes that she’s always around when he’s going to and from class

There’s a few other people like that too, loose acquaintances that haven’t dropped out or transferred

They make him feel like even if everything else has gone to shit, he still has his winning personality

And he still has Chilton

Gloria Grahame

Gloria Grahame Hallward (November 28, 1923 – October 5, 1981) was an American actress. She began her acting career in theatre, and in 1944 made her first film for MGM.

Despite a featured role in It's a Wonderful Life (1946), MGM did not believe she had the potential for major success, and sold her contract to RKO. Often cast in film noir projects, Grahame was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Crossfire (1947), and later won the award for her work in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952). After starring opposite Humphrey Bogart in In a Lonely Place (1950), she achieved her highest profile with Sudden Fear (1952), The Big Heat (1953), Human Desire (1954), and Oklahoma! (1955), but her film career began to wane soon afterwards.

Grahame returned to work on the stage, but continued to appear in films and television productions, usually in supporting roles.

In 1974, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It went into remission less than a year later and Grahame returned to work. In 1980, the cancer returned, but Grahame refused to accept the diagnosis or seek treatment. Choosing instead to continue working, she traveled to the United Kingdom to appear in a play. Her health, however, declined rapidly. She returned to New York City, where she died in October 1981, aged 57.

Grahame was born in Los Angeles. She was raised a Methodist. Her English father, Reginald Michael Bloxam Hallward (known as Michael Hallward) was an architect and author; her Scottish mother, Jeanne McDougall, who used the stage name Jean Grahame, was a British stage actress and acting teacher. The couple had an elder daughter, Joy Hallward, an actress who married John Mitchum (the younger brother of actor Robert Mitchum). During Gloria's childhood and adolescence, her mother taught her acting. Grahame attended Hollywood High School before dropping out to pursue acting.

[oldshowbiz]

Mark Halloran of Niagara Falls was one of the original Yuk Yuk's comedians in the late 1970s. He was known for his Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Mitchum, and Pierre Trudeau impressions. Oddly, he had an identical twin brother who could not do any impressions at all.

When Strangers Marry

William Castle opens his WHEN STRANGERS MARRY (1944, Criterion Channel), reissued as BETRAYED, with a lift from Alfred Hitchcock’s THE 39 STEPS (1934) as he cuts from a scream to a train whistle. In lesser hands that might seem like a cheap gimmick, but for Castle it’s the start of a film whose imagination more than compensates for its low budget.

The King Brothers, former bootleggers turned producers, were out to improve the quality of the films they were making for Monogram Pictures. So, they borrowed Castle and composer Dimitri Tiomkin from Columbia and Kim Hunter and Neil Hamilton from David O. Selznick. For their male leads, they turned to Robert Mitchum, who had already worked for them and was still a year away from stardom, and Dean Jagger, who’d worked at Monogram. The result was a surprisingly stylish piece that garnered praise from no less than Orson Welles and James Agee.

Hunter has come to New York to join the husband (Jagger) she met when he traveled through her small town in Ohio. Only she can’t find him. Old friend Mitchum tries to help her track him down, but as she learns of a murder and robbery in Philadelphia, she and we start to believe Jagger’s the killer. Will she turn him in to homicide detective Hamilton or try to save him?

There are atmospheric shots of Hunter gazing out windows at night as neon lights flash outside and a creepy scene in which she walks through a tunnel while haunted by her suspicions. In addition to Hitchcock, Castle borrows from Val Lewton’s 1940s horror films at RKO, with an obvious “bus” (a shock that turns out to be benign) when sirens herald not Jagger’s arrest but the arrival of a boxing champ in a Harlem nightclub. That scene, with some lively dancing and jazz, may go on longer than it needs to for plot purposes, yet it adds a moment of levity to the film as Castle just explores the life in that location for the sheer pleasure of it all. And there’s some crackerjack editing at the climax that can stand beside the car accident in THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE and the broken suitcase in THE KILLING as an example of the workings of fate in film noir. Keep an eye out for Minerva Urecal as a crabby landlady and Rhonda Fleming, in her film debut, as a young innocent.

Plot bunny, Arron Tveit in Gilmore Girls? 👀

Conrad Huntzberger!

Logan’s older brother, either Honor's twin or she's the middle child tbd

Set to take over the company from Mitchum, following in his footsteps going from writer to editor to CEO. He graduated from Yale with a double major in business & english (with a focus on journalism) and is now doing a graduate degree in business management. He’s not totally sure it’s what he wants to do, school is partially his way of stalling, but also if he’s going to do it then he’s going to be the absolute best at it

He was the editor of the Yale Daily News in his second, third, and fourth year and then appointed Doyle as the new editor when he graduated – no longer part of the daily news but occasionally helps out if asked.

His parents' golden child, loves his siblings but really wishes Logan would grow up a bit, people always assume that there would be resentment over Conrad being the favourite but both of his siblings prefer it because there's less pressure for them to be perfect

He appears in two stories – Come On Virginia, where he's shipped with Virginia Gilmore, and Coming Of Age / New Romantics where he's shipped with Vicki St James

an idea of grace's nepo background her grandfather on her mom's side is robert mitchum. i know a lot of you are young here but this man was closer to leo dicaprio levels of fame in the 1950s-1960s and her dad was married to a woman related to yugoslavian royalty. the old industry people and film lovers like duffer brothers in los angeles know who robert mitchum is and you got her dad who b-movie fans love.

joe's parents both work in theater and film. his dad works at the same famous acting school joe studied at.

and everyone knows maya.

not saying they have no talent and don't deserve their roles but an idea of the backgrounds and connections these actors have.

I... I don't know who Robert Mitchum is 💀 anyway you can't really compare Joe's dad to Maya's parents (fucking Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawk) or Grace's grandfather if, as you say, he was hella famous.

In my opinion Joe is not a nepo-baby💀

Also while I'm at it what shows/media would you recommend? I'm down for any suggestions tbh

As for shows/media, with shows and movies, I tend to lean towards older pieces, in which I recommend Kolchak: the Night Stalker, The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, I Love Lucy, and Gilligan's Island; and for movies, I more end up recommending just about anything with stars that I like, such as Humphrey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn, Sidney Poitier, Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, James Cagney, Robert Mitchum, Edward G. Robinson, Pam Grier, Toshiro Mifune, Peter Lorre, Errol Flynn, and Christopher Lee, to name a few (I watch a lot of movies).

I also listen to a handful of podcasts, those being: Critical Role, Dimension 20, Dungeons and Daddies, Not Another D&D Podcast, The Adventure Zone, bomBARDed - A Musical Dungeons & Dragons Adventure, FANTI, My Brother My Brother and Me, Our Plague Year, Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine, The Empty Bowl, Wonderful!, Welcome to Night Vale, and The Plot Thickens.

The story of ‘Nite’ (2nd November 2001)

Late 1974 To the best of my recollection, my brother Peter (although I called him ‘Pott’) was in a band. He played rhythm guitar and a guy called Ian Foster was lead guitarist. I don’t know who else was in that band. The rub was between my brother and Ian anyway.

In a rare moment of us talking civilly to each other he told me that he was unhappy in the band as Ian would mess around too much and do the superstar thing. It’s fair to say at this point that Ian was a quite gifted lead guitarist. So, I said something like what do you want to do? And Pete said, ‘kick him out!’ But he also expressed concern as to what else would happen. I said that if he were unhappy why continue.

I asked did he know of others that could play so that another band could be formed? He knew Prof (Andrew MacLachlan) was a drummer and Mitch (Patrick Mitchum) could play rhythm, which pre-empted his move to lead. He also knew a guy called Stephen Bischhof (Bisch) (?) who could play. The idea was to put him on bass where he couldn’t do too much harm. So, a singer was needed and I volunteered. I’d always fancied it and my guitar playing had been ridiculed for some time. So, there it was, the line up was in place.

But where do we practice? Luckily, my brother and I lived in a house with a double garage that my father was too lazy to put his car in. The scene was set. In the following few days Pete busied himself getting people motivated and handing in his notice with Ian. A date was set, a Sunday afternoon as I recall which was soon upon us.

Our equipment was the envy of none. For that first practice, I used a cassette tape recorder microphone, which went through a Leak amplifier along with the three guitars. Prof had the best gear as he had a full set of Olympic by Premier drums. They were a sparkling gold colour, which was really passé at the time, but, hey, they were real drums dammit!! My brother used my Columbus Gibson SG copy; Mitch used Pete’s Top Twenty Fender Stratocaster copy and I think Bisch had a Fender copy too, we told him that he only need concern himself with the bottom string for bass.

The sound we made was, er, quite unique and Copnor had not heard the like before. By the end of that first practice, we had neighbours from about half a mile away complaining and knocking on the garage ‘up and over’ door.

If enthusiasm was all it took then we were already stars. It is true to say that we were very enthusiastic and happy with the results of the first practice. I can remember Pascal Egan dancing around in the garage, to our amusement. Mostly, the practices were in our garage but some were elsewhere. We had quite a few at Profs house in Bedhampton. This wasn’t just a case of turning up, setting up and playing. This involved pushing a vintage Vauxhall, which was about as heavy as the Golden Gate Bridge, out of the garage before we could start. I can remember pushing the thing over to the petrol station one day just to put air in the tyres! However, I’m straying from the point. Strange isn’t it, I can’t remember people’s names but can remember stupid things like that?

So, our repertoire grew and some practices were better than others. The songs I remember us playing were: Paper Plane (Status Quo) Johnny B Goode (with no lead guitar) Be Bop a Lu La Trouble (with an extra verse) Summertime Blues C’mon Everybody School Days c/w No Particular Place to Go (I think) (Chuck Berry) Wig Wam Bam The Cat Crept In Remember Youre a Womble (once only and I was appalled – think I walked out!) Down Down (Status Quo) Of course we had a go at a lot of songs – I even remember Heroin at one time (the song not taking it!)

We also practiced once at Bisch’s weekend residence in Cowplain. This was a surreal experience and quite near our one and only gig. A little background then, Bisch’s father owned a Swiss Patisserie in Southsea. So, when we went to practice on Sunday afternoon, we were offered all Saturdays left over cakes. Well, that was nice in itself, but Bisch’s father also supplied JPS cigarettes in packs of 50 (in those little round black plastic containers). I can remember Pascal stuffing them in the pockets of his ex-RAF overcoat as if looting!

I had invested in a mic and stand by this point. Not the best in the world but better than the cassette mic I had been using. I think Prof had bought a new cymbal, too. The practice was marked by Bisch’s unveiling of his new equipment, a proper bass guitar and a Traynor amp.

Now, our suspicions were raised when Bisch told us that bass guitars didn’t need tuning. Then the ‘Traynor’ name on the amp was in those stick on angled gold background and black text things. However, it was better than any of our equipment. This highlighted another issue.

As mentioned previously, Bisch was put on bass out of harms way. He used, up to this point, the lowest string of a normal six-string electric guitar going through the same amp as everyone else. Therefore, we couldn’t hear him. Now he had a real bass guitar and a separate amp that was really loud. It hadn’t happened before. We didn’t realise until this point that Bisch had no natural rhythm.

At this time, we were practicing furiously for the gig at the Cumberland on 8th February 1975. So, how was it exactly? Well, I was glad I had the mic stand as this freed up both my hands so I could stick a finger in each ear, as deep as possible. We couldn’t play anything, as when we tried the, er, unsyncopated rhythm threw us into chaos. Pete even took over bass duties at one point to show Bisch how it could be done. Of course Bischs response was ‘I didn’t hear any difference’.

What to do? Hey this is all sounding a bit negative. It must be remembered that we were having fun here and discovering how to push ourselves, how to work within a group, compromise, lots of good skills that (I guess) we all developed further later in life. Also, looking back on it, it was a great time. You don’t realise at the time how close members of a group become. You have to learn to trust each other, at least to keep their part of the group going, be it drums, vocals, bass or guitar.

So we sacked him. His dad was livid after just buying all that equipment. What could we do? So, in one of those ironic twists that you wouldn’t believe if you saw it on TV or read it in a novel; we invited Ian Foster to play bass. He accepted, and then asked Bisch if he could borrow his equipment! Only a teenage could be that sensitive.

Just to complete the Bisch part of the story, some time later he had a motorbike accident with a lorry in Cowplain (thanks Prof), I thought it was in Fratton by St Mary’s church but hey the result was the same, the young man died.

I think we can only have had one practice with Ian. If memory serves, that was the night before the gig and at Prof’s house. I can still remember it being a really great practice. We all left positive, motivated and scared.

The day of the gig arrived. We arrived, set up, found that there was only one electric socket on the wall and then had to plug multi adaptor into multi adaptor.

The equipment:

Prof: Olympic by Premier drums, sparkling gold.

Pete: My Columbus Gibson SG copy guitar into a borrowed (from Bill Swadling?) Sound City amp which was purple

Mitch: Pete’s Top Twenty Fender copy guitar into the Sound City

Ian: Bass guitar from I dunno where into a practice amp mic’d up into the Sound City

Me: my mic into a Hi Fi amp and into some big 12” Goodman’s as a PA.

Pete recorded the whole thing on a reel to reel Teleton (I bet he still has it the recorder not the recording). Bubbling with excitement and nerves, we started. Within 20 minutes, we had done all the songs we had. So, we did them again. Then we did them again, and again. I think we only had about 7 songs, not sure. Some people were actually dancing at one point. Then, we took a break.

During the break, the Young Socialists took over the mic and the guy did a bit of a speech which Ian punctuated with noises from his bass guitar. It was funny but I guess you had to be there. After the break, we came back and did them again. I think we did Down Down just for a change and Mitch came in too early and spoilt Pete’s solo part. Then I think Ian did vocals on yet another version of Paper Plane. Then it was over.

Post-gig blues can be quite bad and I seem to remember that we didn’t see each other for some time after and when we did, it wasn’t the same. Our ‘Let It Be’ period, if you like.

No use raking through that particular mess as it would just detract from the fun, excitement and exhilaration of four (although five really) teenagers having fun in each others company and playing music together- or almost together! (is that too schmaltzy as an ending?)

The Brasher Doubloon (1947)

One of the few Raymond Chandler film adaptations I'd not seen before, this is a generally nice little detective story that moves along well and entertains throughout. In a number of ways it's really not that far below more classic attempts like The Big Sleep and Farewell My Lovely, and could almost have gotten there if not for George Montgomery in the lead: he'd be fine as a generic B-movie or TV show supporting actor, but he's far too bland and ordinary to play such an iconic character as Philip Marlowe, adding nothing at all to the role to distinguish himself from much better actors like Bogart and Mitchum; he looks and sounds like he'd be more at home singing a song and building a log cabin in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers than stripping away layers of deceit and corruption in the morally-corroded city night.

So probably a little more of a failure than a success, but still worth a one-time watch to fans of the genre.

​are you saying Camille is the court jester who went too far? What was his brother’ role during the Revolution?

His fate always reminds me, for some reason, of the children being hunted down by Robert Mitchum’s terrifying (false) preacher man with the words ‘love’ and ‘hate’ tattooed on his knuckles, in Night of the Hunter

Therefore, if you have the oppurtunity to meet him, and the conversation starts revolving around me, I leave you my reputation. What induces me warn you in this way is that my brother last year told me that cousin Henriet was far from eulogizing me, and I believe that on his next journey he will go even further than what he said previous years, as he now believes he has the right to revenge. Regardless, if I allowed myself a few jokes on his expense, it was always in secret and within earshot; but in public, and whenever the words I uttered might have had any consequence, I have always exalted my cousin, and I dare to speak against my conscience at times, at least in some respects. Camille Desmoulins in the first conserved letter written by him that we know of, dated May 10 1782

I had dreamed about a republic that everyone would have loved. Never had I imagiened that men could be so cruel and so injust. How can it be so that a few jokes in my writings, against colleagues that had provoked me, could delete the memory of my services! I do not hide the fact that I die as a victim of these jokes and of my friendship for Danton. Desmoulins in the last conserved letter have from him, written in the Luxembourg prison on April 1 1794
