Random fun fact: Myra’s an old... and I mean OLD OC of mine.
This is a post for those who are interested in Myra!
Also, just a heads up that Myra is an original character of mine, not my self insert lol. I do have a persona but I’m too lazy to draw her.
Seriously. I think I created Myra way back in 2013-2014 when I was still into MLP and Yu-gi-oh Duel Monsters since I was still a child and after reading fics that have OCs in them, 10-year-old me decided to have a go at it and made my first OC!
Little did I know that this OC would become one of my most beloved creations that I’m so attached to.
Wanna go on a short trip down memory lane with me?
When I first designed Myra years ago, I was really into Rosario + Vampire (I liked the manga a lot) and I absolutely adored Moka’s design when she was in her real form. So I took a lot of inspiration from her design and created Myra! But at first her name was... oh god it’s so cringy.
Her name used to be Jessica Bloodriver...
... She was originally supposed to be a vampire, alright?
Sadly, I don’t have any drawings of Myra when she was still ‘Jessica’ but if you guys are curious about what she looked like back then, just imagine a tall white-haired woman with a curvy body, bright red eyes and is pretty dominant... Your average vampire OC
She definitely had gone through a lot of changes.
Anyway! About a year after that, I decided to make her human. An albino human since I really liked the white hair and red eyes combo. I also decided to change her name since ‘Jessica Bloodriver’... is honestly really bad. So, after looking through countless of names on random baby names websites, I decided to keep things simple and let her be named after me; Mira.
My second name is Ameera, for those who are curious. And as someone who had limited knowledge in creating good OCs with good names, decided to make things simple for myself and named her Mira for a few years. Her last name was ‘Yamina’ for no reason. I was listening to an old Vocaloid song when I gave her her last name.
And for a few years, Myra was looking like this!
This is an old drawing I made back in 2017! She has that fluffy-looking hair and, if you look closely, her current hair does have a bit of a resemblance to her old hair!
If you guys are curious on as to who the guy behind her is, he used to be her boyfriend but then I broke their relationship off after I started shipping Myra with Anastacius when I was months into writing ‘Reacting to Who Made me a Princess’. Don’t worry, they’re still good friends :)
If there’re two words I need to describe her hair in 2017-2018, it would be ‘round’ and ‘fluffy’. Basically, imagine really soft hair.
Her default age back then was basically 16-17, highschool age since I was still pretty young and I thought teens around those ages are kind of cool... I was wrong? Right now, Myra is 22 years old and is a university student! However, depending on the AU she’s in, her age will change.
Once 2018 rolled by, I thought it would be time to change Myra’s hair colour to a more darker colour since I kind of disliked shading white hair all the time. So, after reading a webtoon called ‘Miss Abbott and the Doctor’, I came up with this sketch!
The colours I chose for this sketch is absolutely horrid. What was I thinking?!
At the time, I really did like this hair colour so Myra was stuck with it for a while.
If I remember correctly, it was around this time that I change ‘Mira’ to ‘Myra’ because I liked the spelling better. And her last name was changed to ‘Smith’ since I listened to this sweet song called ‘Cecily Smith’.
And that’s how Myra got her name! Myra Smith!
Sadly, in 2018, I didn’t do much digital art as I was busy with an important exam when I was 15 so I mainly focused on school and studying. I did draw traditionally a lot but sadly I don’t have those drawings with me.
This was one of the drawings I managed to put out in 2018 on my old Instagram account. At the time, I just got back into playing Deemo so I drew a few Deemo-inspired drawings but I included Myra in them. Those fishies and that rabbit were traced over the original art, btw. I had no idea on how to draw fishies, sadly.
After that, I think I took another long break since I wasn’t having fun with digital drawing much. I think I picked up digital art again in the last few months of 2019?
This was when Myra’s hair slowly turned into a more brown-ish colour. And her bangs were changed to a more normal kind. You know, the regular bangs? Not the round bangs I gave her that made no sense in reality? And I dropped the circular art style because I grew tired of it.
During 2019-2020, I didn’t really draw Myra much since I was more into drawing her ex boyfriend Hyun-Jin during those two years.
But then I decided to write ‘Reacting to Who Made me a Princess’ in May of 2020 and I wanted to include Myra in it so she can act as some sort of observer who will watch over the main cast of WMMAP as they react to Athy’s life on the big screen.
My love for Myra had been rekindled as she spent more time with the characters and, in March of 2021, I wanted to draw my lovely daughter again!
She still has those normal bangs but look at how cute my daughter is! I love her so much, you have no idea.
I really loved how ‘kind’ Myra’s eyes are in this, which is something that I wanted to stick for her as I continue to draw her.
When I finally managed to download Clip Studio Paint, I finally drew Anastacius and Myra together for the first time ever!
And this, my friends, is when I decided to give Myra the bangs you guys are now familiarised with!
To be honest, it feels nice to walk down art memory lane like this and see how my OC Myra has evolved over the years to the best version of her right now. I’m really happy with how she turned out and I’m more than euphoric to be able to ship her and Anastacius freely.
Also I’m surprised that Myra has simps. Simps! But her simps are all lovely people :D
If you guys have any questions about Myra, feel free to ask me!

I was tagged by @transpat to list my top movies of 2021! (I'm very late to this, the last few days have been chaotic haha).
thank you, Myra! (their recs) 💖🌹
so, I realised I didn't really watch many movies in 2021, I'm more of a 'watching movie in a theatre person' & covid messed that up so I caught up on movies in my watchlist, and rewatched my all-time favourites. I'm more of an (old) Bollywood buff, and I don't remember seeing any foreign movie this year which is just ???????
anyways, here are my recs:
i only watched ajeeb daastaans (an anthology) for geeli pucchi and it was amazing!
game over & a death in goonj were intense but damn!
shahid kapoor aged like milk haider has been my top rec ever since it was released and its mostly because of the plot (and it terrifyingly mirroring reality), irrfan khan, tabu and vishal bhardwaj!
kapoor & sons, udaan and the lunchbox are my all time favourites, all of them made me cry. (and the soundtrack for udaan is amazing! amit trivedi 🛐)
finally sam smith & taylor swift: my beloved, I've listened to these studio sessions multiple times now, such amazing albums 😩
i tag: @surajmukhis @ghostvalleymasters @someonek111me @dribs-and-drabbles @praninlove @prany @tutontawans (only if you want to ofc!) and absolutely everyone who wants do this! (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Chapter 8: To the East and The Gold Rush
Waking up in New York City was nothing new for the former Vaudeville performer. Buster was accustomed to whichever time zone he was in. He had gone to the east coast for a business trip/vacation with his wife Natalie and they’re staying at the Biltmore Hotel. The couple had attended the premiere of Seven Chances at the Capital theater. They were accompanied by people more favorable to Keaton such as his father Joe, a friend from childhood, Lex Neal, and Nick Schenck, a brother of his boss Joseph. Knowing that the missus missed their children and her sisters dearly, he held her hand the entire event. The screening had a good reception. Keaton was glad that the movie was well-received, although he remained resentful. Natalie was grateful for his presence, but nothing had changed as they still sleep in different bedrooms based on her insistence. After a few busy days, the real vacation began. Now he will be spending a day with his better half.
Once out of bed, Buster puts on his robe and went to the sitting area of their suite to call room service. He saw that Natalie was already awake and sitting frantically on the couch, he said to her, "Good morning Nate."
The missus stopped what she was doing and replied calmly, "Oh Morning."
Her fingers tapped on her knee as she appeared agitated. Buster had not seen her in this state in a while. Natalie was staring at the door and he shot his eyes at it, "Are you waiting for the letter?”
She quivered when she said, “I haven’t heard from mother yet.” Peg was watching the Keaton boys back in California.
He sat next to her and reassured her, "The boys are gonna be alright. We've only been gone since last Friday."
The tears started to form in her eyes, “This is the furthest I have been from our sons. Robert started babbling.” She wrapped her arms around herself, “What if he says his first word and I won’t be there to witness it?”
Buster patted on her shoulder, “I don’t think that would be likely.” He added, “I’m sure Bobby won’t say a thing until he sees his ma again.” To his surprise, Natalie hugged him in gratitude. Buster hugged her back until she broke the embrace to dry her tears. He went to the phone saying, “I’ll order us breakfast.”
That noon Buster and Natalie had lunch with the folks that went with them in addition to the Governor of New York. Joe Keaton shared stories of performing shows as The Three Keatons, dealing with wife Myra’s absences due to maternity leave, getting in trouble with The Gerry Society, and the times they fled out of burning Buildings. The couple spent the day together except when Natalie went out to buy gifts for the boys while Buster was catching up with Lex and discussing the latest film project. When he returned to their suite the middle Talmadge was already there, rounding out the toys and the clothes. He was going to ask her how much she spent on them, but he didn’t want to start another argument.
She was in a cheery mood, “Got that letter back from mother. The boys are doing fine, they missed me. Dutch came over to cheer them up. She took them to the park for fun.”
Keaton hid his hands in his pockets, “Did that letter said anything about me? Did the boys miss me too?”
Natalie pulled a toy giraffe out of the bag, “It didn’t say anything about you. She usually didn’t acknowledge you in letters. I’m sure the boys miss you too. I can't wait to see their faces when they see what I got them."
What she said of the boys missing their father, Buster knew it might not be true. He wished to be a father, but had little time to spend with them because he was so busy at work. His fear arises with the thought of Natalie divorcing him and taking the sons away. He had to win her over to keep the family together. He asked her, “Nate, do you remember Coney Island?”
Natalie frowned upon taking a trip to memory lane, while neatly folding the boy’s overalls, “Why yes, it wasn’t long after Arbuckle made a short there. You took me because you wanted to include me and I obliged. You got us cotton candy to share, we rode on the carousel, and that one coaster you were begging me to ride along.”
Buster added with a narrow smile, “You were so scared that I held your hand the entire time.” he apologized for taking her to the coaster in the first place.
She concluded, “Then we finished the day with the Ferris wheel where we saw the bright spectacle and you pecked me on that cabin. It was a nice date.”
He sat gingerly on the bed, “I would be happy to take you to coney island again, but back then nobody could recognize me when I’m not with my folks, and then Roscoe and now if anyone took notice of me, that whole place would crumble.”
She looked at him, “If you weren’t able to take me, why bring this up?”
He took her hands, “We were both very happy. I missed the days when you were in love with me. The same woman who proposed to me from another coast. I know the old Natalie is still there when you hugged me this morning.”
She took her hands off him to cross her arms, “That was only because I missed our boys.”
He put his hands behind him, “I missed them too. I can’t imagine life without all of you. I will take back the times I was unfaithful to you.”
“Buster, I don’t care if you embrace another woman behind my back. Please don't entice me to be in bed with you again.” She pointed him out of the door, “Please let me be alone to change for dinner.” Natalie closed the door behind him after leaving her room.
Buster was puzzled about the unusual pairings in his life; his parents, Joe and Myra, Norma and Schenck, and Natalie and himself. None of them shared the same age group except for the latter. He wished that his wife wasn’t a strict catholic so she could be comfortable with taking contraceptives and not worry about getting pregnant again and he wouldn’t have to cheat on her. But that’s the way it has to be. If he failed to win back his beloved, there are still less than 3 weeks of vacation to go.
****************
The hopes of Gail being a screen actress were dashed when production was delayed after Sennett comedian Ben Turpin backed out of the upcoming project due to personal matters. Gail wanted to take his place, but was unable to due to a lack of a contract. Though Sennett knew she wanted prominent roles, he was unable to fill them because too many actresses sought her out. But instead, he had heard his former employee Charlie Chaplin just returned from filming in Truckee to film more scenes in his studio and is seeking extras. So he recommended she find work in Chaplin's upcoming film The Gold Rush, and Gail was fine with it just to gain film experience.
There at the Charlie Chaplin Studio, Gail is in the dance hall scene where Chaplin’s Tramp character dances with his love interest. She was busy dancing with a partner to watch the toothbrush-mustached comedian, but caught the part where he was tied to a dog and it chases the cat. She could laugh at this gag, but didn’t want to ruin a good take. The chestnut-haired woman across the hall seemed familiar. Gail didn't think she’s a famous actress. It must be on a tip of her tongue. Then the realization struck her, that was the same woman who was next to her onset of the seven chances. Their time between scenes was too busy to get them to chat. When everyone gets their lunch break, she located the woman eating with the other female extras in the studio courtyard.
Gail sat at the same table as them, “Hi you remember me?”
The woman paused figuring out, “Oh goodness, we were extras in seven chances. Sorry we didn’t get to be properly introduced.” The woman extended her hand, “My name is Eliza Smith.”
“I’m Gail Anders.” She shook it in greeting, “It’s good to see you again and I never got to thank you for saving me from the ridicule.”
“Don’t mention it. We actresses had to stick together.”
Gail and Eliza were talking while having meatloaf and salad. Their discussion consists of their start on careers, Gail’s experiences as a bathing beauty, Eliza’s acting resume, their celebrity encounters, and then the subject fell to celebrity crushes.
"For me, it's Charlie Chaplin of course. I have a crush on him since I was barely a woman. Hell, if I was a virgin, I'd have saved it for him. Are you a virgin, Gail?”
Gail almost choked on her food being asked that. She replied with a blush, “That’s a very personal question to ask.”
“That’s alright if you don't have to answer.” She raised her eyebrow leaning towards the raven-haired woman. “But tell me this is Buster Keaton the cat’s meow?”, When Gail couldn’t understand, Eliza rephrased, “Do you have a crush on Keaton?”
Gail's eyes were looking both ways as she drank her cup of water to try to avoid the touchy subject, but Eliza noticed the signs. “Please It’s all in your face. Your gaze was fixated on the stone face as if he was the king of England.” She chuckled, “It helped when you “pretended to faint” in front of him.”
Giving in, Gail confessed of the time she started seeing Buster in the Arbuckle films. She thought he seemed charming and took interest in watching his films because of his fascinating past, then when she heard the news of his wedding, she was a bit let down, but was happy for him and then she talked about her two other encounters with Keaton. In conclusion, She asked, “Is it wrong to have a crush on a married man?”
Eliza dropped a bombshell, “Chaplin wasn't married when we dated.” Gail’s eyes widen and her jaw dropped hearing this “Really?!”
Eliza with a coy smile, whispered to her to avoid having others hear her “I met Chaplin when I started working in California. I took a job here as a part-time receptionist, but when he noticed me, He then hired me as an extra for his previous film, The Pilgrim. After production ended, we started a relationship. Spent countless nights with him,” she then frowned when she continued, “Then we broke up when he was seeing another woman, and another and another and another. But he did come back to me only for one-night stands and one of them happened while he’s married. Last I heard, if it's true, he has feelings for his leading lady."
She covered her face with her hand, trying to comprehend what happened, "Why are men so unfaithful to their wives?"
“Gail,” Eliza explained, “Men and women in Hollywood have unhappy marriages and have taken lovers. If Buster is one of them, you might have a chance.”
Gail stated, “But I have a boyfriend, I think I still do. And besides, I can’t see myself dating a married man.” Adding a final thought, “I would rather wait until he’s divorced.”
"True, but then where is the fun?” Before they finished eating Eliza looked Gail right in the eye and said, “I would recommend keeping this a secret. God knows what would happen to dear Chaplin if word got out.”
Gail returned to Lenore’s around 6 in the evening. Going inside she was surprised to see a finely dressed man talking with Sally and Lenore at the dining table. Upon noticing Gail’s presence, Lenore called, appearing to break away from her niece’s latest paramour, “Welcome home! We saved you fried cauliflower and turkey.”
The man said in his British accent told Sally, “I didn’t know you have a sister.”
The blonde chuckled, “She isn’t, this is my friend Gail Anders. I took her in when she moved from Nevada.”
The man stood up and bowed in greeting, “Sterling Thomas, my pleasure.”
As they shook hands, Gail said, “That accent, you must be British.”
“Yes, Edinburgh very nice place.” Sterling’s dark hair was slicked back.
Lenore brought over her meal, “Gail just came home from work and you should be leaving too, sir.” This prompted Sterling to grab his hat and approached to the front door despite Sally’s protests for him to stay a little longer
He replied, "We can meet again. I'm here quite a while." She kisses him before watching him leave.
As Gail started eating, silence went on between aunt and niece. She later broke it when asking Sally, “How did you two meet?”
“Both of us were in New York City. I went to a nightclub and he was there. Same story, different ending.”
“How did you find each other?”
Lenore added while crossing her arms, “I presume one of your nightly outings?”
Sally glared at her, "Well Auntie, we met somewhere, and I never felt lucky to bump into him again."
“How is Mr. Thomas any different from your last boyfriends?”
“He happens to be rich.”
The aunt gave her a sarcastic look, “Oh, so now you're a gold digger?”
Sally stood up fumed, “How is that any different from you and Uncle Stanley?”
Lenore stood up in retaliation, “Don’t you bring my Stanley-”
Gail also stood up to soothe this out, “Could you not fight? I had a long day.” Sally and Lenore agreed and the table fell into silence for the whole dinner.
After all that was going on around her, Gail would end the day by kindling herself to a good book. After losing interest in the middle of chapter four she switched to another book. It was a journal about her interest in Buster Keaton. She would write down about the movies she had seen and clipped off the news article featuring a movie review of his and just news about him. Gail turned to a page in which the subject was Our hospitality. A news article glued there featured a picture of Buster and Natalie both wearing pork pie hats for a publicity photo. It was interesting to see husband and wife on the screen together, but now it was bittersweet knowing that buster is probably cheating on his wife. If it was truly something that must be wrong between the two.
The next afternoon, Gail was making herself useful in the Sennett studio, modeling the swimsuits for the other bathing beauties. A crewmember notified her of a call from her residence. Gail answered the phone, the voice at the other end was Lenore.
“The telegram came from your mother.”
Gail has already known what was happening around her family; her sister Geraldine is having twins and her father is due to retire from ranch work. Judging from the woman’s sorrowful tone in her voice, it must be bad news.
“It’s your grandmother, she died in her sleep.”
Devastated, She covered her mouth as her tears began to form and a similar lump grew in her throat. Her whole body shook with the realization that the woman who got her to California is gone.

Reto de Lectura Rory Gilmore
Sé que llego tarde a este reto de lectura pero nunca me había animado a tomarlo, lo descubrí hace años no recuerdo donde y ahora que me topé con el de nuevo en BlackWhite Read Books y queria intentarlo.
Gilmore Girls fue una gran parte de mi adolescencia vi todos los capítulos más de una vez y me identificaba con Rory, su amor por la lectura y su vida cotidiana, es una serie que siempre vivirá en mi corazón y es más que una serie para mí, me enseño muchas cosas y me ayudo con muchas más.
El reto de lectura consiste en leer todos los libros que Rory leyó a lo largo de la serie, los cuales son muchos, entre ellos existen muchos clásicos como Alicia en el País de las Maravillas y El Diario de Anna Frank, la mayoría de libros en esta lista no están siquiera en mi lista TBR la cual es otra de las razones por las que quiero intentarlo, la lista consiste de 339 libros por lo que no me pondré propósitos irreales como leerlos todos durante este año (2016), en dos años o en cinco, simplemente me propondré terminar esta lista algún día y divertirme con ella.
Marcare mi progreso en este post y quizá haga una reseña de ellos, los mencione en mis libros del mes o en GoodReads pero primordialmente será aquí.

Faceclaim Sporcle Quiz FAQ/Director’s Commentary
Hello, I’m back to once again post a Sporcle quiz for a day on Twitter before I disappear off into the ether (the ether is locking my Twitter account again). How are you? Great. Let’s get the questions that I always see pop up whenever I post a quiz out of way first.
Where are your quizzes?
Faceclaims Quiz Media Properties That Have Been the Basis of SMAU Quiz Friends Episode Title as SMAU Quizzes: Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Round 4
Do you have a list of references for the quizzes used?
The quizzes used in my summary quizzes are all I have. Most of them are abandoned or deleted, but the remnant links can be found here. Feel free to hum a Sarah McLachlan song as you hum through them. The more recent quizzes were done in a fun and fancy free style where I kept track of no specifics because I am here for a good time, not a useful time. Sorry to not be of any help!
Why are your quizzes not publicly available?
If the quizzes aren’t private, then that means they are available to the Sprocle community at large to be verified or added to the random play a quiz generator. The idea of a fifty-year old film bro trying to guess all the Oscar Best Picture winners he knows in ten minutes and then being faced with a Reddie SMAU quiz makes me want to roll down a hill in anguish. The idea of a thirty-year old film bro deciding to fact check my Reddie SMAU quizzes makes me want to roll down seven hills in anguish. So they remain private. You can find them in the links on this page. As noted above!
Why didn’t you include ______ faceclaim?
There are many reasons for why a certain faceclaim wasn’t included. I may not have seen it because it was further into the narrative of a story or I have not read it recently enough to have the faceclaim stick in my memory! I may not have recognized it from the tiny contact picture and couldn’t easily find a tweet verifying the name! He was a Connor Bowers faceclaim and every blonde white guy in Hollywood looks exactly the same to me and no, I do not have the technology to reverse google image search a tiny contact photo. There are over-200 faceclaims in here. There are probably more. I don’t get paid for this, please cut me some slack.
Your quiz has a typo!
As previously stated, I do not get paid for this. Please cut me some slack.
Director’s Commentary
I understand nobody cares about this part, so I put the process behind making this quiz behind a cut. It also has the answers. It’s basically my evil villain monologuing moment.
Every quiz I have ever made in life is basically the result of my life philosophy which is the wolfpupy tweet, “well it made me laugh and that’s the most important thing, my feelings”. The Friends Episode Title summary quizzes started because I think it’s hilarious that the original title for Turtle Creek was Still Waters (it is always Still Waters to me). The “Has This Media Property Been the Basis of a Reddie AU Tweet?” quiz started because I was bewildered at just how many different, incredibly varying media properties had inspired SMAUs. I don’t have a wide audience so the only person I’m trying to impress is myself and so, I make myself laugh.
Anyway, the Faceclaim Quiz idea first came about when I was doing those summary quizzes and I realized just how many Patty faceclaims there were. I thought that a fun quiz would be “Match the Patty Faceclaim to the SMAU”, but that would have taken too much work while I was also doing the summary quizzes. By the time I finished those, the idea had become too unwieldy. There were too many Patty faceclaims to match to too many SMAUs.
Eventually, the idea transferred to a simpler concept which was “What if I made a faceclaim quiz and every answer was correct except one?” The idea seemed so stupid, and I figured nobody would seriously play it and it would make me laugh. And that’s what is important! So that’s what I set out to do.
The trouble is that coming up with only one wrong answer was giving me hives because I knew if that faceclaim was used in a SMAU someone would be dying to point it out to me. So my brain started this new game of “Name an actor, name how they could possibly be used in a SMAU.” Any relatively famous male actor who I didn’t remember in a SMAU became a potential Connor Bowers. Leonardo DiCaprio. Brad Pitt. Chris Evans. Chris Pratt. Chris Hemsworth. Chris Messina. Chris Hayes from MSNBC. Other famous people in the last 30 years also got weirdly cast in things. Oh, Jennifer Aniston could be a Maggie Tozier. Oh, Kelsey Grammer could be a Pennywise. Will Smith probably worked with Richie on a movie. Taylor Swift may have worked with Eddie on his taxes. I was not going to risk it.
Then I considered doing Old Hollywood actors, but my brain went “Katharine Hepburn played Patty in an On Golden Pond SMAU!” and that was the end of that. I also considered just being completely obvious and doing like Abraham Lincoln because nobody was going to cast him as Wentworth Tozier, probably, but that wasn’t funny to me. And that was what was important my feelings.
In the end, the answer came somewhere in between. Currently, I am working my way through the AFI 100 Movie’s list, which has been a horrible calvacade of one examination of toxic masculinity after another. One of the most excruciating films to sit through was called Intolerance: Love’s Struggle Throughout the Ages. It is a three-hour silent film by the director of Birth of a Nation where he argues that the NAACP saying that Birth of a Nation was racist was intolerant. The same kind of intolerance that got Jesus killed. It’s terrible. But the director of Birth of a Nation invented crane shots, so it had to make the AFI list, I guess. I’m getting distracted though.
Intolerance was terrible, but it was old, obscure and poorly restored which meant that nobody was going to use it as the source of faceclaims for anything. Even more amusing was that all the characters didn’t really have names but vague descriptions. “Princess Beloved”, “The Kindly Officer”, etc. etc. So in a bit of amusing myself I made a decision. I decided to group the characters into general groups.
ACTUAL CAST MEMBERS OF AN IT PROJECT PATTY REDDIE NON-MYRA LOVE INTERESTS OF VARYING DEGREES FAKE REDDIE SIBLINGS/COUSINS/WHATEVER GEORGIES LOSER DADS LOSER MOMS MYRA AUDRA/KAY MOVIE-BASED MALE VILLAINS/PENNYWISE MISCELLEANOUS
Then I organized the faceclaims into the highest category they fit into on that list (that I was aware of). So for example, let’s say there was a SMAU where Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was the faceclaim of Rob Tozier, Richie’s brother. Rob also works with Eddie at Justice clothing store, and he and Eddie hook up in an supply closet one time. In this scenario, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would fit into the miscellaneous category (as Eddie’s coworker), and the fake siblings category (as Richie’s brother). However, he would be put into the love interest section based upon hooking up with Eddie in that supply closet. Good for him! Good for organization!
Once everyone was organized, I put the wrong answers in based on their character names in Intolerance. They are as follows:
Mae Marsh plays “The Dear One”, she was placed as the wrong answer in the Patty section. Robert Harron plays “The Boy”, and he was the wrong answer in the Love Interests section. Spottiswoode Aitken plays “Brown Eyes’ Father”, and he went with the Loser Dads. Lillian Gish plays “The Eternal Motherhood”, and unsurprisingly, she went with the Loser Moms. Miriam Cooper plays “The Friendless One”, and she goes with the Myras. Finally, my personal favorite, Walter Long plays “The Musketeer of the Slums” and he goes with the villains.
If anyone wants to see where the groups start and end that may be able to help you out. It’s kind of ridiculous, but I found it funny! And, well, that’s the important thing. It made me laugh.
Happy playing.

I TOO AM A GREAT GRANDAUGGTER OF MARK PRICE DAVIS:
It has been 2 ½ years since my precious grandmother passed away, transitioning to the other side, and receive her glory in heaven, where she feels pain no more, and is reunited with her beloved husband, parents, and family. Oh how I miss her so.
Once again I was sorting through her folders and I came across an absolutely incredible set of papers-handwritten no less. It was a copy of Mark Price Davis’ Will (1829). Mark Price Davis was my 5th great grandfather, father of Rebecca and Martha, the sisters discussed in the previous stories: “The Letter, 1862” and “The Mystery of the Smith Graveyard.”
Although the Will was incredible, it was the gem at the bottom of paper that took my breath away. It stated:
“Copied August 16th, 1963… by Emma Barrett Reeves, a great granddaughter of Mark Price Davis, thru his daughter Martha Christian Davis, who m Geo Blakey Smith.”
The next line said, “I too am a great granddaughter - by daughter Rebecca Myers Farmer Lyon,” signed Dollie Myra Lyon Echols.
Reading further on, the document stated, “I too am a great great granddaughter - thru the line of Edward Lyon & Rebecca Price Davis,” signed Mary Effie Pinkston Rainford.
When I read these beautiful women’s names and realized I was looking at the signatures of my 5th great auntie’s (Martha) granddaughter, my great grandmother Mary Effie and her “mother,” Dolly Echols, all added to Mark’s Will, wanting to be accounted for and remembered by anyone that came along and found the document in future generations…I was overcome with emotion trying to comprehend all that I was feeling. I had an overwhelming need to add my name to that list of great women.
Tears fell down my cheeks as I added my name and declaration, “I too am a 5th great granddaughter of Mark Price Davis, through Rebecca Myers Price Davis, my 4th great grandmother, and then Mary Effie Pinkston Rainford, my great grandmother, Julia Lynch, thankful to be part of something so magnanimous.

Random fun fact about Myra
Myra always referring to everyone politely by calling them Sir, Miss, Lady, Mrs, Mister, then their names no matter if the person she’s talking to or about are younger or older than her.
Actually, she’s actually called her own father “Mister papa!” several times when her parents taught her to speak.
The only times when she only refers to them as just ‘Sir’ or ‘Miss’ like that is when she doesn’t know their names... or she’s just really pissed off with them.
So if she knows you but she’s only calling you ‘Sir’? Yeah you should run away.
Anyway, Myra often calling Anastacius ‘Sir Anastacius’ but eventually dropping the ‘Sir’ whenever they’re alone gives me serotonin.

Damn it that's adorable.
Random fun fact about Myra
Myra always referring to everyone politely by calling them Sir, Miss, Lady, Mrs, Mister, then their names no matter if the person she’s talking to or about are younger or older than her.
Actually, she’s actually called her own father “Mister papa!” several times when her parents taught her to speak.
The only times when she only refers to them as just ‘Sir’ or ‘Miss’ like that is when she doesn’t know their names… or she’s just really pissed off with them.
So if she knows you but she’s only calling you ‘Sir’? Yeah you should run away.
Anyway, Myra often calling Anastacius ‘Sir Anastacius’ but eventually dropping the ‘Sir’ whenever they’re alone gives me serotonin.
