Ruth Dewitt Bukater: Jack Dawson is an insect, a dangerous insect that must be squashed quickly and not allowed near my daughter

The Jack Dawson in question: *a literal golden retriever who has done no wrong ever*

[fandom-life-chooses-the-follower]

do you think Cal or Ruth ever watched a movie Rose was in and couldn't reconcile Rose Dewitt Bukater with the Rose Dawson on the screen because they never actually bothered to remember Jack's last name and were convinced she died?

or did Cal, married with his millions, realize who she was but move on assuming she lost it? or not wanting to admit he lost so he pretends it never happened, after all no one else is really going to know her? we know the last time she saw him was on the Carpathia but that doesn't mean he didn't see her.

does Ruth recognize her daughter and get closure? did she beg Rose for help/money if she did recognize her? do Ruth's friends recognize her and try to tell her that no, her daughter did survive? did Ruth remain in her social class without the ability to sell off her daughter for her lifestyle?

surely there would've been a slim chance of running into each other at certain events if Rose was successful enough and Cal and Ruth remained in their social circles? is Cal too good for movies to potentially see her in them or end up at events?

Good movie. It should’ve been at least 95 minutes shorter. But still. Good movie.

I just realised that Hellcheer is basically just edgier, high school AU, set in the 80’s version of Titanic

✌- Who would you most like to go to jail with? Rose Dewitt Bukater, Philomena Cheer, Belle, Stephanie, and Bri

Rose gives off an undignifying laugh. If she was going to spend the night in a prison, she might as well make it exciting and to select her company by who would piss off her mother, RUTH, the most. I'd spend my incarceration time with Jack Dawson or Murphy Michaels @avictimofthejazz

Miss Cheer roars with bemused laughter, though for her incarceration had been quite real. "As long as it isn't that fool Charles Lee or Petty Shippen, I don't suppose I would mind much." Then drawing her shoulders up a little she adds, @vicictimofthejazz/ @anoseforrottenapples would bail me out. Huffing out a breath, she continues. "Perhaps, @honorhearted, if he'd spare me the lecturing. Otherwise, it won't be worth it."

Belle winces. "Imprisonment isn't a preferable pursuit. However, if I must be behind bars it would be with Patrick or Elsa @avictimofthejazz, Adam @brotherhoodwarlord, and Cyneric @swevene.

Stephanie is grumbling already. How does America's golden girl get in SOO much trouble? Of course, her first inclination is to name her childhood best friend Bucky Barnes and then Howard Stark @protectxthem. Immediately following them she adds, @agentnamed, Seg or Thor @menxyouxneed, @bloodyxballet, & Wally and Diana Prince @offwithhishat

Brianna glowers, the glass of champagene in her hand clutched indelicately tighter in her grasp. "Surely you must be jesting. They don't lock-up billion heiresses!! And even if they did, I'd take Alfred with me." @palaceofmuses. Oh, she knows her guardian is likely less than thrilled to hear this quip.

Does anyone want a T7S Titanic AU?

Steven Hyde (born 1885) as Jack Dawson: A twenty-six-year-old drifter from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, who gambled his way onto the Titanic. He's traveled throughout North America and western Europe, including Paris, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, and London, never settling down in one place. It's just him, his new friend Fez, a few books, and an acoustic guitar. Until he finds Jackie, a young woman who longs to free herself from the shackles of high society.

Jacqueline "Jackie" Burkhart (born 1887) as Rose Dewitt-Bukater: Part of the disgraced Burkhart family, her father Jack is in prison (he was on the wrong side of the law, and his trust was broken up by Teddy Roosevelt himself). And she's close to becoming an old maid, in her mother's eyes, so she must maintain appearances. And engage herself to a restless investment banker, and commit herself to misery. Like many before her.

Pamela "Pam" Burkhart (born 1865) as Ruth Dewitt-Bukater: Pam is desperate. Her husband is in prison, the money is almost gone, and she's trying to salvage what's left and save face. And that includes marrying her "old maid" of a daughter off to an investment banker.

Katherine "Kitty" Forman (nee Sigurdson) (born 1861) as Margaret "Molly" Brown: A former Wisconsinite and daughter of an abolitionist, she follows her restless husband Red to Chicago and then to Leadville, Colorado, where he strikes it rich. She's a mother, a nurse, and heads a soup kitchen. And as a part of the "nouveau riche," she's almost universally shunned by high society. But she's willing to lend a hand, when the rest? They hoard their riches, and sit on their laurels.

Michael Kelso (born 1885) as Tommy: A meager, reckless Scotsman and welder, hoping to find a better life in America with his wife Elizabeth "Brooke" (born 1883) and their children Elizabeth "Betsy" (born 1904) and John "Jay" (born 1910).

Fez (born 1886) as Fabrizio: Hyde's close friend, who he met in New York. He has accompanied him on his adventures in Paris, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, and London.

Karl Schmidt (born 1884) as Cal Hockley: Jackie's fiance. A hot-headed, ambitious investment banker.

Plus:

Eric Forman (born 1886) as Lawrence "Larry" Brown: Shunning the family mining business by being a history professor at the University of Chicago and an amateur photographer and filmmaker, he's well known for consistently disappointing his father. But because of Red's failing health, his father appointed him to be the representative of the American branch of the Forman family at the family reunion in Northern Ireland. Unlike his father, he is notorious for being incredibly unlucky.

Donna Forman (nee Pinciotti) (born 1886): Eric's progressive suffragette wife and a promising freelancer, originally from New York, who fails to fit in with the society ladies. Her paternal grandmother (a Visconti) was born into old money, older than even the society ladies can possibly boast. But her father Bob also lucked out by investing in Henry Ford's business early on, largely due to his daughter's insistence.

Sarah "Sadie" Forman (born 1905): Eric and Donna's young daughter, who is quiet, pensive, and creative. She seems to have both her mother's love for reading and writing, and her father's love for photography and filmography.

William "Liam" Forman (born 1909): Eric and Donna's young son, who is often attached to his sister's hip.

And:

Reginald "Red" Forman (born 1857) as JJ Brown: Not featured but consistently mentioned, Red is a mining engineer that struck it rich (and found a massive ore seam) in Leadville, Colorado, with his wife Kitty already (and still firmly) by his side. His branch of the family, hailing from Northern Ireland, left during the potato famine and initially settled in Point Place, Wisconsin. But his failing health prevented him from attending the Forman family reunion, so he asked Eric to represent the family in lieu of his attendance.

This probably didn’t change either of them for the better did it?

Misery (Titanic fic) - *Coming soon*

Pairing: Cal Hockley x OC / Thomas Andrews x OC

Warnings: angst, disaster, real life events, violence, manipulation, drowning, guns, affair, cheating, mentions of SA and panic attacks, marrying young

Author's note: This is solely based on the film. Anything written for historical characters is for fictional purposes.

Additionally, I saw the movie in theaters for the first time and it kinda inspired me to actually write this. I've thought about it for so long.

Summary:

Ruby DeWitt Bukater was the oldest daughter of the family. When she was 19 years old, she was married to Caledon Hockley, the heir to a Pittsburgh steel fortune. Her mother, Ruth, often said it would "ensure their survival" since he was a billionaire.

Ruby did anything her mother asked. She was fit for royalty, another thing Ruth would say. Ruby took all the responsibilities so her younger sister, Rose, would be spared from her mother's absurd rules and ideas.

The maiden voyage of the Titanic changed her life in more ways than one, especially after she met Thomas Andrews, a man who showed her kindness and the beauty of life.
