Words can barely describe how I am feeling right now, like it is currently twelve am AND I CANT SLEEP AT ALL. I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT TONIGHT.

Geniunely one of the best nights I've ever had in while and let me tell you the main highlight was me during that Q&A section, let me tell you, ever since the Ghost Files 2024 tour was announced I made it my MISSION to ask them a question. I was feeling SO nervous, especially when it was my turn and I made DIRECT eye contact with them (something I'm not usually good at) and I didn't stutter ONCE, an achievement of the damn ages folks!!! And the people were geniunely nice, like someone told me I got this when I got in the Q&A line and when I thought I stumbled my words, Ryan was like, "no I think you said it right" and people agreed it was so,,, I WAS GENIUNELY WORRIED I EMBARASSED MYSELF

There's dozen more highlights:

Like when someone asked about international ghost hunting and Ryan said he would make a show called "Ghost Files: Bloodline" about cultural roots basically (I could be wrong I was kind of just thinking about how nervous I was)

Someone asked about Ricky Goldsworth which of course they did

Someone wore a cartman shirt and it said "suck my balls" or something and Shane read it out aloud.

Garrett, obviously, is the best highlight

OH possible puppet history ghost files crossover?! Intriguing.

I'm probably forgetting some things but if you've gone to the L.A. show, do feel free to reblog some highlights, go bonkers.

I had a great time tonight :] and I'm never gonna forget it, thank you boys <3.

Waystation: CDS/GF Notes

Ricky doesn't know how to do sentient buildings the Way Station is mine now

Waystation takes two to three Caretakers. Caretakers tend to be siblings or partners of a kind. One takes the ‘heavy lifting’ of the psychic load and thus has trouble leaving the Waystation after it's established. This is the person who gets informed that brick 1439 was chipped in last night's storm and now the chip is on the sidewalk three feet away N by NW. This person now also has a much harder time leaving the Waystation, and being far away or away all for long periods of time can make them very mentally unwell, they are the most psychically connected. This is the person who is also having full two-way conversations with the way station, 

The other caretaker has less of a psychic connection and is able to leave the waystation. This person can get one-word responses and strong feelings

Lit, Leo, and Georgie are all the caretakers after the moms pass. While Lit doesn't have a classic caretaker connection, the Waystation has done this on purpose. Lit’s job as a caretaker is close to a satellite, his job is so he can leave and do things outside of the building as well as not being susceptible to psychic attacks. After Jo and Emmi it likes to keep a third person to make a caretaker triad, but it doesn’t always happen

The caretaker line tends to follow family order, but the family order has so far not followed bloodline but by relation (goes: romantic couple (Jo and Emmi) to adopted kids (Leo, Lit, and Georgie) to god kid and romantic partner (Katie and Lettie) to god kids and a queerplatonic pair (Eli, Callum and his QP)) blood relation plays no part in the familial passage, and the way station prefers adopted families and extended guardians. 

All People can develop a connection to the Waystation but not as intensely. This mostly happens to full-time residents. The connection is light, they can pick up the Waystation feelings. To become a caretaker you must go through this first

It can be possessive, it thinks of who resides there as ‘its’, feels a duty to protect those inside of it. It doesn’t think like a person, it thinks like a building, so the possessive can come out in odd ways 

Really likes kids, especially young kids. Has lots of secret and special rooms and passages that are only accessible if you are a child (often due to size and also like magic)

Has a patch of liminal space where it holds all of the rooms it makes. 

Liminal space

Its liminal space is where it can create rooms, these rooms are all along the big hall that connects to the main entrance. Because these rooms are in a nonsense space their size, location, and physicality are all changeable. The room itself once its made is made, but where it relates in the building can change to the Waystations preference. This means doors can appear from anywhere even if the next room shouldn't fit, and the windows can look out of anywhere though they tend to be stationary when you are inside the room

The ‘pantry’ is part of this liminal space and includes multiple fridges, cold storage, a deep freezer, and lots of space to hold preserves. The Waystation is about 60% self-sufficient when it comes to food

The wall in the Main Room that is opposite the hall/liminal space is where the roof access is generated. The Waystation can not make rooms on that wall, so it is used to hold the building's main enchantments. This includes the stairs to the roof, sound dampening and dust collection for the WorkShop, safety and mist spells for the building as a whole, climate control spells, and exhaust ports for both the kitchen and WorkShop. If something magical needs to be fixed it will be on that wall

The Waystation has control of all parts of itself. This includes lights, cabinets, doors, counters, bricks, etc. It can move and adjust these parts as desired both to communicate and aid the residents and also because it wants to

The Waystation can move objects within itself, but not when someone is looking. This is used to lay out clothes for guests and the like. It will also use this to fuck with people and hide things when it’s mad

The Waystation has an active internal database on anyone and everyone that comes through that it can communicate outwards through a few chalkboards in specific rooms (kitchen and infirmity mainly). This is less about analytics and data collection and more about what each person needs. It prioritizes things like allergies, dietary needs, different powers and how they need to be accommodated, overall accommodations, and familial lines both biological and social. These are not universally accessible and are often only communicated if someone is about to give someone anaphylactic shock 

Other rooms (not bedrooms)

Children's rooms

These are less ‘rooms’ and more of a series of passages and hidey holes throughout the building. Picture the building-wide climbing tunnels and play spaces that are popular in children's museums

Kiln room

A room that houses all of the WorkShops kilns, glory hole (for glass blowing), and forge set up. These are in their own room for safety measures both fire hazards and fumes 

Infirmary 

Medical facilities, four cots total. Also has one large machine that it can change between an MRI, CT scanner, and an X-ray (can't be both at the same time)

Jason’s office

Jason’s workspace for his pope shit, has a little ‘den’ under the filling cabinets and is set up for people who fly

Calypso’s weaving room

Houses her loom and weaving equipment where she works to help make specialty fabrics for demigods that need clothing accommodations (like Leo burning off all his clothes (he was the inspo)) as well as a large closet she maintains the Waystations collection of community clothing 

Laundry

The laundry facility, the Waystation does all of the laundry itself. Laundry is put in laundry shoots in the bathrooms that lead to the washroom, but you have to go get your clean clothes and put them away yourself 

Weight room

Only the weight room in name (though it does have weights) it’s mostly a big workout room. There are weights and machines along two walls, but the rest is a huge mat for combat training plus a whole mirrored wall to help with that. There are hookups on the ceiling for punching bags and the like

Armory

A room full of weapons

Stables

Where they keep the griffins (I reject that they are just in the same room as the kitchen I’m drawing the line they get their own room Jfc) you have to climb a ladder in the main room to get to them

Greenhouse

Needs to be accessed via the roof, tropical weather plants are kept there with a giant mango tree in the middle

Who Lives at the Waystation (as of In Round)

Leo (head caretaker, takes on apprentices, foster dad)

Jason (foster dad, helps run the demigod foster system, popeimus maximus)

Georgina (art historian at Indiana State Museum, secondary caretaker)

Calypso (manages the clothing stock and makes specialty fabrics for demigods and monsters whose powers require it (like Leo needing fireproof clothes))

Deacon (owns a cheese and butcher shop with Stan downtown, married to Mark )

Stan (owns a cheese and butcher shop with Deacon downtown )

Mark (from Ares, works part-time at the butcher shop and helps with the foster care network (he does the driving and delivery for both) married to Deacon)

Lit (high school PE teacher who coaches wrestling, tertiary caretaker)

Sssssarah (monster ambassador, does a lot of work with the griffins)

Cirro (a cloud nymph, a baker and does most of the garden processing. They sell her baked goods at the butcher shop on the weekends)

Katie (training to be a caretaker, takes on apprentices, runs missions for Hades on a case-by-case basis, tends to lead the infirmary as she has the most training)

Lettie (runs the roof garden, diplomat between demigods and dryads (she travels for that), low key also getting groomed to be a caretaker)

Livia (the elephant, she lives mostly at Camp Jupiter but she still has a room at the Waystation and will visit when foster kids are being brought there from New Rome)

Main Room and Valgrace room layout

Jason’s office

“And the Way Station made him a wonderful room. It's not ginormous, but it has a high ceiling and a bookshelf that runs the full length and height of one wall. There's a large arched window overlooking the Pan Am Tower with a wide wooden desk pushed against it, and multiple smaller tables against the other wall for his dioramas and preparations and projects. The back wall by the door has a large papasan couch and bean bags, less for guests and more for Jason to curl up into a little nest when he wants to. It's perfect for his needs, cozy yet airy, with space to both relax and focus.”

The Room With The View

[missprincesse345]

Chocolate never was more tasty than this 😈😈

Summary: The 3 times y/n’s badass moments made her husband Roman Reigns feel like the luckiest man on the planet. This fic is a Aew au

Pairing: Roman Reigns x cargil reader

Random pairings: Jon moxley x jade cargil ( her sister), willow nightingale x Ricky starks, ruby soho x Anglo Parker.

Her faction: the vagabonds ( y/n,jade,willow,Brandi, and Keira hogan)

Championship title: current Aew women world champion

Face claim : saweetie

1. “ Roman!!” Y/n yelled running into his arms hugging him tightly as he caught her , earlier in the night while she was at home making dinner Jey called stating Stephanie got him arrested during the smack down taping under false accusations making her blood boil with anger. Ever since Roman turned heel becoming the tribal chief and creating the bloodline certain people have been trying take him down or destroy his accolades in & out the ring “ hey babygirl I’m okay I’m okay” he said softly soothing her worry’s knowing how worried she’d get about his safety sometimes.

As they get in the car once she got the paperwork as well bail taken care of he filled her in on the situation Stephanie wanted him,the twins and solo to pay for their actions against Sami zayn & Kevin Owens during royal rumble which upon further investigation that the two were forced to by the women or they’d be sent back to nxt. “ I’m fucking done!!!” He said seething with anger as y/n nodded letting him vent all of his anger out knowing he needed it “ okay love then quit always come to Aew with me I mean Jon’s way happier over there” she said looking over at him.

“ I’m with you baby let’s do it” he said interlocking his bigger hand with her smaller one heading home Stephanie say your prayers she thought smirking to herself.

A week later

Walking into the stadium hand & hand the tribal chief was ready to make a statement with his Nubian queen by his side “ go get yourself all dolled up sweetness gonna go over the plan with the boys” he said looking down at y/n squeezing her hip “ mm okay my chief” she purrs kissing Roman deeply before walking away.

“ what the hell !!! It’s the bloodline ohhh and they don’t look happy, well what do you expect Stephanie’s actions towards Roman Reigns * sami & Kevin join them * ohhh looks like they got back up!!!” Michael Cole and pat mcafee said watching them launch a sneak attack on the couple at one point Roman points to the ramp giving y/n the signal. Watching everyone go crazy while walking down the ramp to the ring she only had one goal make this woman pay “ oohhh and her comes the tribal goddess herself” Cole said with a hint of excitement the whole roster was ready to see the couples demise and we’re enjoying every minute.

Standing face to face with the evil woman who hurt her tribal chief y/n waisted no time pouncing on her attacking Stephanie with every thing she had the older woman was no match for her cheetah like moves “ hold them up!!! Both of them!!!” She screamed as the boys got them in position “ no are they?! Double spear !!! double spear !!! My god Hunter and Stephanie just got snapped in half!” Cole said as the crowd chanted you deserve it

“ nobody!!! Can take down the bloodline we run this shit!!! We’re done with this company I’m done with this bullshit everywhere I go or my tribe goes you acknowledge us !!! Cause we the ones!!!” Roman said growling loudly in the mic as everyone held their fingers up. He was done with wwe and to do it with his goddess it felt great standing tall.

2. Roman & y/n where hanging out with his 6yr daughter Joelle at their new home in L.A California located in Beverly Hills. The couple was happy to have some time off after battle of the belts ppv not minding the little girls presence since she’d taken a liking to y/n instantly after Roman divorced his nightmare of a ex fiancé , hearing the door bell Roman got up from the couch smiling softly watching his two favorite girls laughing and smiling “ oh great what are you doing here?” He groaned coming face to face with his ex.

“ you weren’t answering my calls Joelle left her snacks & blanket at my place last week” his ex replied slightly upset he didn’t really talk to her since the divorce only if something involved jojo his ex was a gold digging bitch breaking his trust once to many. “ well jojo has all the snacks and blankets she needs but extra wouldn’t hurt * grabs her blanket & Cheeto puffs* oh while you’re here Joelle will be living with us or parents from now on” he said making the woman gasp in sock

“What?!!! Why Joe I” the woman only could get out as Roman turned around snarling at the woman immediately shutting her up “ you will never get to call me that again got it? Secondly you missed the court date , hearings as well meetings with the lawyers multiple times and your mother vouched for me stating that Joelle deserved to be with me besides y/n has been way more of a mother to her than you” he said smirking as y/n appears next him with jojo in her arms.

“ everything okay here? Oh hi” y/n said smiling as Roman explained the situation she never liked his ex and it was time to put the woman in her place “ jojo bug can you cover your ears for me ? * the little girl nods doing as told* good girl” she smiles at the girls cuteness. “ I’ll only say this once and once only you lost bitch you don’t deserve shit from him or anyone with your leg spreading flat chested twink dollar tree having ass unless you’re making a billion dollars a year,own fifteen businesses, model the hottest brands or look half as good like me” steps a little closer “ then get the fuck away from my family understand? Good” she said smiling at the fear struck woman as Roman watched proudly if you thought Roman’s death glare was scary hers was 10x more terrifying.

Walking back inside the couple shared a sweet kiss “ me too!! I want one!!!” Joelle squeaked making them laugh attack the girl with kisses “ you’re so good to me sweetheart thank you for coming into my life and hers” he said kisses her forehead making the woman melt “ I’d like to say it’s the other way around but you’re welcome cause I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else” she said touched by his words “ daddy!! Momma!! Can we make noodles and fried dumplings ? Oh please!” Joelle said smiling up at the two shocking them mostly y/n not wanting to push it letting Joelle get comfortable with the idea of being her new mom but the young child always saw y/n as her mother the first time they met .

“ uh - yeah of course darling but we gotta make sure you’re daddy doesn’t eat all the cookies we’re gonna make too” she said smirking at Roman as jojo hugged her tightly while on the inside she was buzzing with happiness as Roman did holding them close.

3. The wrestling it couple were tag teaming with her sister,Jon,Brandi and Cody against daddy magic,Anna,tay conti and Sammy after some off hand comments were made about the couple’s relationship.

“ ohhhh !!! God !!! Tay conti just got rocked!!” Taz comments as y/n super kicked her in the face before yanking into a deadly samoan drop doing a kip up as the crowd cheered “ let’s go!!!!” She screamed firing up the crowd turning around smirking pointing to Sammy mockingly blowing a kiss “ we run this bitch!!! Hoe!!!” She cackled licking her chops setting up for a Superman punch in honor of her husband which she perfectly executed before tagging her sister in.

“Come on baby!!! Roman cmon!!!” She shouted holding her hand out as her tribal chief tagged her in hopping over the ropes knocking down everyone on the opposite team before coming face to face with daddy magic yelling in her smiling like a psychopath slapping him not phased by the threats. She put him her finisher the cradle ( inverted ddt) “ and your winners the vagabonds and Roman Reigns,Jon moxley and Cody Rhodes!!!” They announced the crowd cheering as they all stood tall in victory.

Walking backstage they all were heading back to the locker room they heard Tay screaming about them cheating and so on down the hall “ kiss my ass bitch!!! Oh that’s right you don’t have one!!!” She smirked laughing twerking a little cause Roman to chuckle at her antics.

“ you are bad” he growled playfully against her ear before squeezing her plump bottom “ mmm but you like it though my tribal chief” she said looking up at him before getting brought into a steamy lip lock.

She was the whole package and all his nobody compares to his chocolate dipped goddess.

Enjoy!!!❤️❤️✨

Her outfits 1,2,3 created by me:

[deva-arts]

What do you think the cast sounds like?

Vincent has a sorta deep but really raspy, forceful voice. Always teetering between a yell and harsh tone since he has done a lot of screeching in his lifetime. Not a smooth talker in the slightest. (Edit: That one clip of Homelander's stronger/better, Vegeta, and Filthy Frank all sound a lot like him. Yikes.)

Nathaniel has a pretty normal voice honestly. He just sounds like your average guy, think a mix between Jake Peralta and Phil from Modern Family, or Jim Halpert. It's unknown whether he chooses to make his voice approachable or whether he has always been this way. Ironically he is the least normal, second only to Vincent.

Amon has a low, thuggish, baritone voice. It's partly because he often puts up an extra tough act out of habit, and also because of his abilities. A loud growl is just a few scales away! He usually sounds disinterested with most things until something makes him act his age again.

Ricky sounds like a surfer bro fresh outta college. Literally just slinging the radtastical lingo. He likes making freestyle rap on the go about having raunchy escapades with your mother. Sera loathes it, but alas. He cannot be punched. She can only dream.

Sera has a very low, strict voice. She sounds like a military commander, which... I mean, as the leader she has to sound harsh. Otherwise her voice is smooth. She would be a good singer if she wasn't busy clinging to survival by her fingertips. (A good one is Gloria Estefan from her "Mi Tierra" Album. But the best one is Wonder Woman from Bloodlines)

Sonia just has a Starbucks chugging, Vocal fry having, Callie from the Valley, annoying celebrity with no grass touched voice. She means well, it's just... Well... When she doesn't sound like a Stanley cup hoarder, she sounds like a 2000's girlboss diet guru.

OC Interview Tag!

Thank you so much for the tag, @kaylinalexanderbooks (here)!

I'll go with Masen from Of Starlight and Beasts, since I haven't talked about him much before!

1. Are you named after anyone?

"None that I know of. My name's pretty common where I was born - guess my parents just slapped on the papers the first damn thing that came to mind and never thought about it again, which, knowing them, would be exactly the amount of care they ever really put towards me (or my brothers)."

2. When was the last time you cried?

"Uh... rather not talk about it. Trauma and that whole ordeal, y'know. Next question."

3. Do you have kids?

"No, and I don't plan to! At least not on purpose. This bloodline of frauds and criminals dies with me, as far as I am concerned. But if I ever do end up having a kid, accidentally or not, I would try to be thousands of times better than my parents ever were."

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

"Me? Sarcastic? Oh, you wound me with such absurd accusations upon my character. I would never do such a thing. (winks) I am always such a painfully straightforward person, can't you tell? (In case you really can't, this is sarcasm)"

6. What's your eye color?

"Brown."

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Both! A good tale always has its fair share of twists and turns, at times surely frightening, and humor is certainly a key ingredient to any story worth telling. And I guess I am a sucker for happy endings, I admit, but the world's sucky at best and horrifyingly brutal at worst, so I think we shouldn't deprive our fiction from a bit of happiness in the midst of it all."

8. Any special talents?

"I am an incredible bard, if I may say so myself. But I am also an amazing con artist, and a thief of incredible renown, even if the authorities seem to be rather keen on seeing my head on a pike. I also have sailing talents - as any brother of a Pirate King would - and am quite good with the bow and arrow."

9. Where were you born?

"A filthy bilgewater fishing village west of the kingdom best known as Orloch, to two of the scummiest low lives you could ever hope to meet. Idyllic, I know." (rolls his eyes)

10. Do you have any pets?

"None. Me and my brothers could barely stay alive ourselves for most of our lives, and trusting another life to us would not have been the wisest choice, I will admit."

11. What sort of sports do you play?

"Does shooting people who get too knife-happy, and stealing from the filthy rich count as a sport?"

12. How tall are you?

"Pretty tall, though unfortunately shorter than my twin"

13. What was your favorite subject in school?

"I didn't attend any of the royal academies, so I wouldn't know, but one could technically say I am a connoisseur of economics." (Smirks)

14. What is your dream job?

"My dream job was being a musician amongst the nobility. Now my main concern is just 'do not get killed'"

[galaxysharks]

Can I just say, y'all can miss me with all that

Jet = Introvert

Maddox = Extrovert

Like y'all homegirl's friendly but avoids people and feels like they cursed her whole bloodline. Jet seeks out people, actively once he gets over his whole ' camp sucks, theater suck, life sucks ' attitude. Even if he's not talking he still hangs around them in the group where Maddox consistently separates herself. Jet only leaves in response to tension with his sister.

Episode 1 - Admittedly where the first impressions happen.

Jet: arrives at camp, and immediately goes to the cabin where he interacts with roommates. Hangs out with other people nearby. Stands by the crowd despite knowing he doesn't care about the events of the summer, and not being required to (assuming Val is absent as a choice rather than a flight delay)

Maddox: does her specific duties and sets up stage. Takes a letter to the office instead of showing Ashlyn where it is. Songs the welcome song and then goes off stage to work tech then stand alone, not rejoining the crowd. Goes to the office for unknown amount of time.

Episode 2: ( the whole episode has everyone in an environment where Maddox is, whom Jet is pointedly avoiding )

Jet: avoids camp activities and leaves once he does show because Maddox is there and it's awkward. Notices that 'Maddie's new friends' immediately flock to talk to him and leaves.

Maddox: wakes up early and leaves to get the bugle to play the wake up call, helps set up, but is alone on the sides for every exercise. Preps hair/makeup alone, resists help, stands off by the curtains until arguments start and then jumps in to save EJ. Returns to standing off to the side and behind the group when Jet shows up. Leaves after dinner to the woods to set up newbie night, spends long enough out there to worry Gina.

Episode 3:

Jet: goes to the spot in the woods he knows Maddox frequents and finds Ricky. Immediately spills all his business with his struggle with his parents and his music burn-out. Talks about his home life and medication changes, his grades, ect. Spends the night suddenly being personable and cheery with this total stranger he found at the shrine. Sees that he upset his sister and goes after her.

Maddox: wakes up early and checks cameras from her office, sets up the tent kits, calls Carlos out on his shit and then goes off alone. Briefly flirts with ashlyn then leaves when she is gloriously shot down. Infodumps about the forest and completely missed Kourtney's objections sets up her tent, presumably alone, as she has to be able to leave to scare campers. Starts to fill her role as the storyteller but gets insecure and leaves to the corner of the woods that only she and Jet can consistently find.

Episode 4:

Jet: (absent due to aforementioned Maddie hates me complex) when he does come back it is immediately to the crowded movie room rather than his cabin.

Maddox: panic over missing brother. Sits apart from everyone and thinks intently, due to missing brother. Learns he went home and is not lost in the woods. Goes to build sets and let the campers paint them. Notices Ashlyn and instantly tries to redirect. Spends roughly 30 secs before realizing she said literally anything about her personal life and leaves. Meets up with Ash at the movie, but does not move to follow her to the seats, staying by herself on the wall. Asks EJ if he's fine briefly, but then continues alone to wherever. I assume her spot in the woods.

Episode 5:

Jet: actively participates in the morning meeting, does his part in the exercises. Opens up about his issues with Maddox to Ricky. Goes off to sing the best song.

Maddox: is silent at the meeting until she performs obligatory mlm/wlw hostility to Carlos. Awkwardly attempts to look bad at her job and more emotional than she is. Reveals exactly #1 fact about her (she owns a dog, who is not dead). Stands off to the side and frequently walks off. Accidentally reveals #1 more fact and God forbid a single minute full of inner thoughts and then tears out of the barn like a bat out of hell. Goes to the barn that she thinks is empty ( I hc to get the things she left in there earlier so she can then run away and go home, but stops when she hears Jet)

Episode 6:

Jet: makes a point to be a part of the action. Tell Ricky why Maddie is so pissed at him. Give more insight to their homelife. Cheers on Kourtney when Maddox has wandered off or something. Goes back to the cabin with Ricky in it and harasses him briefly.

Maddox: tudors Gina in camp. Gina straight up asks her to open up the response is 'brothers, amiright?'. does some of the events but also just kind of disappears from some of them. Brief return of the flirty Maddie with Gina during it's on. Instantly exits the crowd once they won and stands by herself.

Episode 7:

Jet: joins Ricky's birthday snack fest. Goes to the Honeycomb to talk to Maddie. Goes off to find Ricky and the others once he gets sort of called on inviting the ex to the dance. Stands up and sings before joining the boys with the post prom traditions.

Maddox: gets up early enough to be fully dressed when the others are still getting ready. Talks to Jet then Madison alone for most of the night. Enters the dance for the final song. Tells the barest explanation for their issues. Goes to the cabin that she thinks is empty to be alone. Stands apart from the other two while supporting Kourt. Gives close friend EJ a half-assed shrug answer to her relationship with Madison.

Episode 8:

Jet: has full integrated with the wildcats at this point.

Maddox: also mostly included, but tends to hover to the side or to stand by one person. Goes to leave with EJ before Corbin sings. Waits for everyone else before signing the wall. Does not join the curtain call. ( My school always had the cast feature the crew once ensemble takes a bow )

[jetsteelyourheart]

I've been working on this for more time than I'd care to admit cause I've been formulating like... 4 separate Fan Casts, but when @easily-distracted-ivashkov posted an ask about Casting I had to submit something. Then it got too large for an ask so here I am.

I'm not done with my TV/Film Fan Cast, but welcome to...

The Bloodlines Musical Theater Fan Cast

*Complete with vocal part & music samples

*all casting has purely been based on my completely mid level of musical actor knowledge and voice. Like 90% of this is all voice. I can't stress that enough

I also have two separate casts for this because its changed over the years. I call them the "Fancast 1.0" and the "Fancast 2.0 - Its Gayer This Time." And of course like with any good casting situation, when you use a couple different actors you need basically a whole new set for everyone else so... Please find them below:

Fancast 1.0:

Adrian - Tenor : Aaron Tveit

Think old school Aaron

-> Gabe in Next to Normal Aaron

-> Fiero in Wicked Aaron

-> Roger in RENT Aaron

And you know... maybe think some more recent Aaron...

Sydney - Mezzo: Barrett Wilbert Weed

Now, I don't want to start anything because Broadway Tumblr is notoriously... dramatic... but this is my fancast and frankly I think if I was a broadway actor people would get mad at me too for having boundaries and less than perfect vocal health so... give the samples below a chance

-> Wildflowers from Fugitives Song Cycle Barrett

-> obligatory Veronica from Heathers Barrett

-> Winnie from Everlasting Barrett

Jill - Mezz/Soprano: Joy Woods

-> Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors Joy

-> Cathy from The Last Five Years Joy

Eddie - Tenor: George Salazar

-> Grover in The Lightning Thief George

-> Obligatory Michael in the Bathroom George

-> Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors George

-> Where do the Lonely souls go George

Nathan Ivashkov: Brian Darcy James

-> Something Rotten Brian

-> Dan Goodman in Next to Normal (with bonus Aaron as his son for direct comparison!)

-> Barrett from Titanic (for something different)

-> Shrek from Shrek because I just like reminding everyone he was in Shrek

Tatiana Ivashkov - Caroline O'Connor

-> Countess Lily in Anastasia

-> Velma in Chicago Caroline

Trey - Everyone is a Tenor Now: Dan Domenech

(sorry for the closest thing I could find to a gif of him without heathers text)

-> speaking of have some JD in heathers Dan

-> Joanne in RENT Dan

Angeline - Is Sassy technically a vocal type? (Sop?): Andrea Macasaet

-> Obligatory Anne Boleyn in SiX Andrea

-> Mimi ... in RENT but like... in concert with Anthony Rapp as Roger?? Andrea

Jackie Terwilliger: Eden Espinosa

-> Elphaba from Wicked Eden

-> Cassandra from Tangled the Series (Her vocals tho)

Brayden: Matt Doyle

He's got it. I don't know what it is. But he has it.

-> Jamie in Company

-> Hanchen in Spring Awakening. Look its not singing... but its Brayden

-> Jasper in Jasper in Deadland to be nice because its a character that isn't annoying and he's a good actor

Micah: Alexander Brightman

-> Cut You A Piece Alexander (but also I just fucking love this Sydrianesque song to death)

-> A Little Bit Alexander

.......................................................................................

Same in Both Casts:

Jared Sage: Patrick Page

Ok but like, how could I NOT.

-> Frollo in Hunchback because Frollo is one of Jared Sage's past lives

-> Hades in Hadestown Patrick

-> Green Goblin Patrick because its on the same level as Brian D'Arcy James Shrek

Abe: Ricky Rojas

Listen, I've never seen him do scary, but I believe he could do it. He's definitely got fun and cheeky down. I'd love to see him dress like a mobster. And look how expressive he is. I fully believe Abe can Tango.

-> Ricky (and Aaron) Singing Tennessee Whiskey because listen to that man siiiing

-> Santiago from Moulin Rouge but just the audio cause youtube aint got any videos

Marcus Finch: Alex Joseph Grayson

Tragically Tumblr has no gifs and thats a travesty

-> Hercules in Hercules

-> Jim in Parade (THOSE RIFFS)

-> Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar

Zoe Sage: Sophia Anne Caruso

But literally exactly in the vocal tonality of Beetlejuice. I don't make the rules

-> Obligatory Beetlejuice

Sheridan: Orfeh

This might be a surprise. Maybe. But like. Imagine all of Sheridan's war crimes. All of her actions that raise the Geneva convention to the ground. Now picture those words coming out of the mouth of someone who sounds like the Nanny Named Fran mixed with some kind of Bostonian Dolly Parton. JUST IMAGINE IT.

-> Paulette from Legally Blonde

-> Orfeh Singing from VOTE!

-> Audrey...2 in Little Shop

Donna Stanton: Natalie Mendoza

Ok so it almost more her acting than her singing, but hear me out: Natalie Mendoza does an amazing job on stage portraying that she's keeping her real thoughts hidden. Its almost a waste to make her Donna stanton because her comedic timing is top notch and underrated. Also she can sing.

-> Ok I couldn't find any examples on youtube... but trust me on this. She's fantastic

Malachai Wolfe: Chris Sullivan

Yeah, that guy. He also played Taserface. Do with this information what you will, but also hear him in the Off-Broadway Hadestown

-> Hermes from Hadestown Chris

Lee: Jeremy Jordan

Listen, I know its a small part for Jeremy, BUT he goes from 0 - 100 on the little nerd man to deranged murder man and Lee needs that

-> Seymour from Littleshop (again) but this time Jeremy

-> Clyde from Bonnie & Clyde Jeremy

-> Light from Death Note the Musical Jeremy. This is not a joke. (second singer)

Clarence: Danny Burstein

-> Adolpho in The Drowsy Chaperone

-> Tevye in Fiddler

Carly Sage: Christy Altomare

-> Freedom Inside MV

-> Wendla in Spring Awakening

Rowena: Rachel Zegler

-> As Maria in West Side Story

Emma: Taylor Lauderman

-> Little Miss Perfect

Duncan: Derek Klena

-> Jagged Little Pill

Alecia: Sam Pauly

-> Obligatory SiX Katharine Howard

-> Come From Away

-> The Wild Party

Lissa: Ashley Loren

The Sparkling Dragomir ~*~**

-> Satine from Moulin Rouge

-> Belle (with cats) from Beauty and the Beast

-> Elsa from Frozen

Rose: Anna Uzele

-> Catherine Parr in SiX

-> Francine in New York, New York

Dimitri: Christopher Jackson (circa In the Heights Era)

I don't like Dimitri, but if he's gonna be there, I'm gonna get an Actor that makes me like him. He better have killer fuckin pipes

-> Benny in In the Heights

-> Obligatory George Washington in Hamilton

-> More Benny because I'm obsessed

Neil: Jamie Muscato

He's like the musical theater Hugh Grant of the west end. I'm gonna get flack for this, I know, but the guy is like the watered down British polite version of every character he plays. Its a whole vibe on its own, and frankly, its very Neil.

-> Evan Hansen Jamie

-> Enjolras from Les Mis Jamie

Chantal: Ariana DeBose

-> Tony's Opening Number

-> I MEAN SHE EARNED THAT OSCAR IN WEST SIDE STORY

To Governments around the world, WE THE PEOPLE have a message for you;

For too long you have kept us at bay, indoctrinated and asleep, silenced and used but those times are over!

You have used our labor to enrich yourselves at our expense.

You have lied to us constantly through MSM to further ur personal agenda of global dominance.

You have sacrificed us in wars to for personal gain.

You have poisoned us to keep us dependent upon Big pharma

You have thrusted satanic idolatry to affect our future generations

You have played with innocent lives for too long, that ends now!

Tagline:  If you love Downton Abbey, Shadowhunters, and world-changing stakes, get ready for an action-packed finale that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page.

Book Description:

The final battle is here. If we fail, we could rewrite history—forever.

I’m Lucinda, the Seer. When every member of my family and the entire Chosen One bloodline shares the same vision, I know we’re doomed. Especially when the villain’s henchmen show up on my doorstep hours later, there’s no denying the truth.

We’re out of time.

It’s up to me and Bella to take charge and end the time travel villainry once and for all.

Too bad Ricky Montrose isn’t going down without a fight. He’s unlocked an alternate reality where everything I’ve fought to protect—my powers, my friends, and the world itself—is at his mercy.

Now, it’s a race against time, and we’ve got two choices:

1. Travel to the past to stop the portal book from ever being created

2. Defeat Montrose before he can put his twisted plan into motion.

It’s all or nothing. So we split up into two teams to defeat the Montrose army. My friends and I have faced impossible odds before. But this time, we could wipe out the Three Societies, erase our past, and destroy the future my family battled to protect.

But with alternate realities colliding and the line between allies and enemies blurring, I’m questioning everything—especially whether I have the strength to save the world.

Can I master my powers, protect my friends and family, and close the last portal before everything we know disappears forever?

I guess we’re about to find out...

The Last Portal is the thrilling conclusion to the historical fantasy time travel series by bestselling author Barbara Hartzler. If you love Downton Abbey, Shadowhunters, and world-changing stakes, get ready for an action-packed finale that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page.

Excerpt 1, Chapter 1, Book 3: Lucinda, 1926

“We did it,” I whispered to Everett, leaning into his side. Standing at the front door, we waved goodbye to Robert and Lillian Cooper as they strolled arm-in-arm down the path to their car.

My new husband closed the door with a smile that lit up his whole face.

“Our first successful dinner party as a married couple.” He leaned in and pressed a kiss to my temple. “The start of many more firsts to come, I hope.”

It was November of 1926, and Everett and I had been married for a little over four months. In that time, we had set up our own home with the wedding money from our parents. Thanks to Everett’s real estate knowledge and financial acumen, we’d purchased a two-story brownstone in the up-and-coming but immensely more affordable Queens borough.

At the back of our quaint property was a small cottage that had once been a carriage house. It was one of the main reasons we bought this property. Now my darling husband could rest easy, knowing his sister and nephew would be taken care of.

We set up the cottage for Nora and her son Grant to live, thus ending her constant worries over rent and how to put food on the table.

Everett worked as a financial adviser at the local bank between classes while he finished his degree. But he had plans to setup his own accounting firm once he graduated, despite his father’s wishes to work for the family business.

I was still working on my degree as well. After the successful protest last year, I was allowed to run for office in my junior year. Two months ago, I was the first female in history to be elected as Vice President of the NYU Law School.

And yet, at the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but wonder—could I really balance everything before Ricky Montrose enacted his own plans?

As the Seer, I needed to have children to continue the family bloodline. Despite our newly-wedded bliss, I was still nowhere near ready for that next step.

But the clock was ticking. Ricky Montrose and Rosie Stanton had opted for a longer engagement, probably because construction on Montrose Paranormal Academy was set to be completed by the end of the year.

Even so, Rosie and Ricky were scheduled to wed in the spring of 1927.

For the time being, he’d been focused on building his namesake school. But how long would that last?

I felt like there was a ticking time bomb always lurking somewhere over my shoulder. When would my time expire? When would Ricky come after me to end the Seer’s bloodline forever?

“You okay, Lucinda?” Everett asked, rubbing my shoulders.

I smiled up at him. “Yes. Just thinking about Ricky, unfortunately.”

He wrapped his arms around me. “Don’t worry, I won’t let him hurt you.”

I sank into the warmth of his embrace. In my heart, I believed my new husband would always do his best to protect me.

But could anyone stand up to Ricky Montrose and win? He had the power of time travel at his fingertips, and big plans to manipulate the Chosen One powers into his own hands and take over the world.

And I for one hated being a helpless puppet, waiting for him to pull the strings and set another horrible chain of events into motion.

But what else could we do?

“Let’s go to bed, Snickerdoodle.” Everett drew back, moving his hand to weave his fingers between mine as he tugged me up the stairs.

“You scoundrel.” I smacked his arm. “That was my first attempt at baking anything on my own.”

For tonight’s dinner, I decided to try my hand at making cookies. The cinnamon-sugar-coated snickerdoodles seemed like an easy choice. But they had proved more than challenging. The edges were a little extra crispy, but our guests had eaten them anyway. Robert had nibbled out the middles and Lillian had dunked hers in her coffee.

“You’re never going to let me live that down, are you?” I asked as we reached the second-floor landing.

“No, probably not, Snickerdoodle.” He tweaked my nose as he opened the bedroom door.

I pretended to ignore him as I dressed in my nightclothes and slid beneath the quilt.

“Goodnight, Snickerdoodle,” he said, stifling a laugh.

“Goodnight, Scoundrel,” I shot back, wrinkling my nose as I burrowed further under the covers.

Everett turned out the light, and we snuggled until he fell asleep.

As I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, the blackness behind my eyelids didn’t stay black for long.

This wasn’t right. This couldn’t be right. I could hear myself saying in some far-off corner of dreamland.

I tossed and turned as a strange scene screamed into focus like a talking horror picture—in full, living color.

Instead of being under construction, the picturesque campus of Montrose Paranormal Academy was now completed. The entire design was built out in a giant rectangle extending from the Guardian church, now situated at the backside of the grounds.

Half a dozen impressive brick buildings with formal white columns ringed the edges of a lush green lawn, complete with cobblestone paths artfully zigzagging across the landscape.

Every wrought-iron lamppost along each path now fluttered with bright green banners that read One School. One Society.

Green? That wasn’t one of the colors of the Three Societies. What was going on here?

My heart caught in my throat as the strange dream-scene unfolded around me.

This was it. This was Ricky’s endgame, right? He had to be behind this so-called “One Society.”
