Calling all musical theatre fan artists!

I need someone who will draw fanart of Sydney Parra as JD from Heathers

I need this like 4 days ago

[the-ten-amongst-these-threes]

Hey this is really random but I was wondering if you have a cast for the lost and found series? It's because I was watching Freeridge on Netflix and the actress that plays Ines (aka Bryana Salaz) gave off TDBLF-Kat vibes so I started to imagine a whole teenage cast for them. Now I want the canonical answer.

Haha I love these types of questions! I wish I had a better answer for you but we don’t really have a cast or face claims in mind for any of the TDBLF girls! The closest thing I have is that I read a lot of Kat’s lines in the voice of Rowan Blanchard from Girl Meets World but that may be because a lot of the way she’s written is inspired by how I wrote Riley back in my days writing GMW fic lol

I’m not familiar with that show but I did look up Bryana Salaz and yeah I totally get the TDBLF-Kat vibes!

I’d love to see more TDBLF fan-casts if you have any! Consider this an open invitation if anyone else would like to send in suggestions!

SIX: The Musical re-imagined as a 12-episode comedy drama produced by Netflix. I’d imagine the tone of the series to not take itself so seriously. Sort of Emma and The Great with a little bit of Mean Girls humour.

a/n: just a scene that i wrote for my possible 80srockstar!billy au where the band manager tries to get rid of reader bc he's sick of the dramatic love triangle between her, billy, & the band’s lead guitarist.

i also fancasted timothy olyphant as rod reyes from daisy jones & the six for the band mananger in this fic. hence the names being the same.

There’s a sudden knock at the door and you groan. One night. That’s all you wanted—one night of peace. No Billy. No Scotty. Just quiet and solitude.

You have half-a-mind not to open the door. It was late. For all either of them knew—whichever of them it was that was darkening your room’s door—you were already asleep. Or, perhaps, not in at all.

More knocking—more forceful this time—and you sigh, stepping over, checking the peephole. Your brows furrow, unlocking it, turning the handle.

“Rod, what’re you-”

“Can I come in?”

Having the band’s tour manager in your room was a new one. Admittedly, he didn’t seem to much care for you, but you’d made it clear that the feeling was mutual through occasional dirty side-long glances, and ignoring him when you could.

You cross your arms. “I was just getting ready to go to bed.”

He leans an arm against the door frame. “With?”

“I’m sorry?”

He leans in toward you. “With?”

You understand what he’s asking then. God, would you love nothing more than to slap him. Perhaps throw him over the hotel balcony. Now, there was an idea.

“Myself,” you state flatly, unamused.

He pushes past you then, shutting the door behind him, glancing around the room, hands on his hips. He turns back to you then. “Have a seat, sweetheart. You and I are going to have a talk.”

He heads over to the u-shaped couch across the room, pulling his slacks up before sitting, arms positioned behind him, crossing an ankle over a knee. Fucking peacock.

You step closer, walking across the plush, cream-colored carpet, but remain standing.

He studies you for a moment. “How much is it going to take?”

Your heart begins to beat faster at his flippant tone. “Excuse me?”

“To make you go away. How much?”

He sits forward, retrieving a leather wallet from his back pocket, pulling out numerous bills. “A grand? Two?” He pulls out a few more then. “Five? Give me a number, and I’ll make it happen.”

It takes everything within you not to let your fuse run out, thus hitting dynamite. “I don’t know what you think you’re-”

He interrupts you. “You’re starting to become a problem. Billy and Scott fighting over you? I can’t let that slide. What happened this afternoon is just…we’re not in high school, anymore. Alright? Time to grow up. I mean, you have any idea how much that Fender is going to cost to replace?”

He sighs, putting the bills away, leaning back once more. “I get it, alright. I do. You’re young and ‘in love’.”

His tone becomes dramatic and mocking then. “You feel a way no one else ever has before. No one gets it—they could never understand.”

He grows serious again. “But I do. It isn’t real. And it sure as hell isn’t going to last. Do you think you’re special to them? Or, in general? I mean, really, do you? Because I can tell you right now that I’ve seen a hundred girls like you—come and gone. You know what they all have in common? Eventually, the boys get bored with them, and they’re sent packing. Back to their unremarkable lives after having gotten their fifteen minutes. Or, whatever they thought they were looking for before they finally settled down in suburbia with an alcoholic husband, a couple of kids, and a lawnmower.

“Just…you’re not what’s important here. The music is what’s important. And if you stick around? I have a feeling we might have some difficulties getting this next album out—hell, getting through the rest of this tour—with the two of them constantly at each other’s throats with you caught in the middle.”

Your face is hot, your body is shaking, and your breathing has become shallow. Putting up with Billy and Scotty was one thing. Tolerating Rod? An entirely different ballgame. The worst part? You weren’t sure—if you pushed your luck—who would win said ‘game’ if push-came-to-shove.

The boys practically worshiped the man. Saw him as their shepherd to the promised land of everlasting fame in the kingdom of rock ‘n’ roll.

Finally, you reply. “The money is what’s important to you, Rod. If you cared about them like you like to pretend you do, you wouldn’t sit back and watch them snorting themselves stupid every chance they get. But, so long as they keep bankrolling your lifestyle, whatever they do on the side doesn’t really matter, does it?”

He’s unbothered by your heated tone, or the hard look in your eyes. He’s aware you have claws—has seen them—he just won’t let you sink them into his tough skin. He’s gone a round or two with young women like you before. And came out on top every time. The ‘tough girl’ act doesn’t phase him.

“So, you’re here to…what? Play mother hen? Save them from themselves? Fix them? How many other ignorant girls have tried the same and failed with numerous other broken men?”

He leans forward, feet both now planted firmly on the floor, forearms atop his thighs, fingers steepled. “Honey, they can’t be fixed. Especially if they don’t think there’s anything wrong with them. These guys…they see themselves as Gods of the music industry. And when you’re a God, well, you’re perfect—above reproach—aren’t you?”

He sighs. “You’re wasting your time. I’m here trying to help you save some of it. So, let me. I’ll write you a check and you can be back on your merry way to…wherever the hell it is that you came from.”

[bohemian-nights]

Nettles Casting Speculation

Since HBO won’t announce the casting for Nettles(understandably), and because we are all going mad due to a lack of official news for her, I thought I would compose a list of all the actresses who could potentially be her.

(Shout out to @nettlesdefensesquad cause she found a lot of these actresses).

Take this whole list with a massive grain of salt because my criteria for this was Black(ish) British/Black(ish) actresses in British productions between the ages of 26-33 (according to some guy on Reddit, Nettles actress is 32, so I thought I’d be lenient with the age) who’s side profile sorta matches this picture of Nettles presumed actress in costume:

Keeping all that in mind, here’s our list:

1. Gabrielle Brooks

While her side profile does not really match the woman in the blurry photo, Gabrielle just turned 33, I believe she’s following/being followed by some of the HOTD cast, and she doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment so we can’t rule her out 🤷🏽‍♀️

2. Yohanna Ephrem

Can’t find her exact age, but based on the side profiles it looks as if she could be a match and she appears not to be working on anything right now. She also doesn’t appear to have any social media so bonus points?

3. Marilyn Nnadebe

Marilyn is 32 and it appears like she is not working on any projects right now.

4. Jordan Loughran

People have been fan-casting her for years, but since she was used in a recent fancast, I decided to look her up, and lo and behold she’s 31! Jordan was already on a HBO show, Raised by Wolves, which also happens to be the same show Alyn’s actor(Abubakar Salim) was on so bonus points.

5. Lois Chimimba

The side profile isn’t that great of a match, but she is 31, about to be 32, and she doesn’t appear to be working on anything at the moment.

6. Tamaira Hesson

I can’t find a decent side profile pick and I can’t find Tamaira’s exact age, but under her playing age, it lists 20-30. She doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment and besides LinkedIn, she doesn’t appear to have any social media.

7. Ronke Adekoluejo

Ronke is 31 and her side profile is kinda a match.

8. Meesha Turner

The side profiles aren’t that much of a match, but for the people who speculate that Nettles actress is tall, Meesha is 5’9.” She’s 32 and she’s not working on anything at the moment. (In fact back in October she left her role as Catherine Parr in the production Six the Musical).

9. Jasmine Rachelle

Can’t find her exact age, but she’s I don’t think she’s older than 25/26. Jasmine is 5’9.”

10. Sherelle Johnson

I can’t find her exact age(or a side profile pic), but her playing age range is between 18-28. I also don’t think she’s working on anything at the moment.

11. Crystal Clarke

Crystal’s last show Sanditon just ended and for the time being it does not look as if she has any other projects in the works. She is around 30.

(I would literally jump for joy if she was playing Nettles).

12. Gleanne Purcell-Brown

The profile isn’t dead on, but Glenne’s playing age is between 20-30. She doesn’t appear to be working on anything and she is 5’8.”

13. Lebogang Fisher

Her playing age is between 18-28. She doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment.

14. Casey Al-Shaqsy

Casey’s playing age is between 19-25. She doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment.

15. Lydia Fraser

Not a side profile picture, but Lydia’s playing age is between 20-35. She is currently working on a stage play though.

16. Yazzmin Newell

Her playing range is between 20-30. It doesn’t look as if she’s working on anything at the moment(her last series was canceled earlier this year). Steve Touissaint is also following her.

17. Madeleine Mantock

She was gearing up for a play back in June, but she’s 33 and 5’9.”

18. Tia Bannon

Not sure about her exact age, but she graduated with a BA back in 2015 so she fits the age range.

19. Danielle Vitalis

Honestly, this is another case of the side profile not really matching, but she fits the age range(play range is 16-30) so I’m adding her just to cover all our bases🤷🏽‍♀️

20. Karla Simone-Spence

Listen my behind knows she’s not going to play Nettles, but she follows Bethany on Instagram and she’s 27. Let me dream 😭

21. Natalie Simpson

Her playing age is 23-33(I think she’s in her early 30s).

22. Leah Haile

According to her Spotlight, she’s currently working on the Snow White movie that comes out next year, but I just thought I might include her. Her playing age is between 16-25.

23. Jessica Allain

Do the side profiles match? Probably not, but she’s 26 and pretty tall so I’m including her.

24. Thalissa Teixeira

Shes been fancasted as Nettles in the past and she’s in her early 30s and it doesn't look like she's really working on anything🤷🏽‍♀️

25. Shantol Jackson

Are the side profiles matching? Nope, but she is 31.

26. Sophia Brown

She's tall 5’ 8” and 31. I really couldn’t find a good side profile pic of Sophia, but I wouldn’t rule her out.

27. Zaraah Abrahams

She’s 36 so she’s a little out of the age range, but she looks young, again, we are covering all of our bases.

28. Razan Nassar

She’s on the young side(25), but she’s been in a show with Bethany Antonia(Get Even), hence the inclusion.

29. Simona Brown

She’s 29 and she doesn’t appear to be working on anything.

There are some actresses who are a bit too young so I didn’t include them, but in case Reddit guy was all the way off, Corinna Brown(who follows Bethany) and Coco Rebecca Edogamhe are good contenders.

This list is not extensive, so anyone with any suggestions feel free to add them 😊(please add them because your girl is desperate 😭).

[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

Keith:

[multiimoments]

Music Monday w/ Multiimoments (part 3)

I just realized that I forgot to post last Monday's music, so here we go!

Crimson Rivers by bizarrestars is one of my favourite fics & there is so much music that enriches the already fantastic story for me.

Here are 9 such songs! See notes below the images (minor spoilers).

(1) The Water Is Fine: Had to start with what has become the unofficial anthem of this fic on TT!

(2) We're in Love: j e g u l u s

(3 & 4) Francesca by Hozier & The River from Daisy Jones and the Six: you hear it too, right???*

(5) What Is A K***** Like You Gonna Do Here? by Zeal & Ardor: applies to a lot of characters!

(6) Vampire by Dominic Fike: this felt like Remus' POV to me

(7) You've Got The Love by Florence + the Machine: w o l f s t a r

(8) Icarus by The Crane Wives: "No one ever thinks to look up."

(9) The Lion The Beast The Beat by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals: this is SO regulus to me.

*IMPORTANT re: 3 & 4 ➡️ I know these fancasts are beloved (including by me), though I want to say I have been hearing disappointing things about the actors (e.g. Tim's insensitive SNL skit) that I do not support! [DM me or google, but this is not a discussion for the comments here, please!]

[lucifers-cuvette]

Getting to know you...

Rules Suggestion: Tag 10 or more people you want to get to know better.

Tagged by their magnificences @gellalaer and @spiced-wine-fic!

Relationship status: Oh-so-basic heteronormativity! Married for 43 years and produced 2 now-adult spawn.

Favorite color: Deep wine-red, like a cabernet sauvignon or sangiovese wine.

Song stuck in your head: Dancing Barefoot, Patti Smith Group.  Likely from watching the faux-stalgic and soapy series Daisy Jones and The Six. Not as good as Almost Famous, but kind of a guilty pleasure.  On the other hand, I do believe I would fancast Sam Claflin as Sámaril.  Claflin has the right facial structure (cheekbones, jawline. brows) and most importantly, nails that haunted look which comes from apprenticing with Istyar Aulendil. :^D

Favorite food: I have no single favorite since I eat a wide variety of foods, but I’d say fresh, well-seasoned, and prepared with care fit the favorite category.

Last song played: The Land Unknown (Hollow Heart Verses) by Landon Blood. This is the intro music for Season 2 episodes of the podcast Old Gods of Appalachia.

Dream Trip: Retracing my maternal grandfather’s journey by bicycle from Calais to Marseilles to Bordeaux and then by train to Paris and Le Havre.  This was in 1905 when he was 21 years old.  He kept a journal of his adventure.  It’s a fascinating look into another time, and his writing is not half-bad! He later graduated from law school and became a practicing attorney.

Last thing I Googled: Recipe for Jewish-style beef brisket in the Instant Pot. A change from my usual goyishe pot roast.

𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏

𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏 𝑽𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂! My fancast for him is Martin Sensmeier, and you can find out why, here. Your outgoing personality would do well with his. He's not a shy man, nor is he loud. I think you two would work well together because you would always know how to put a smile on his face.

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

・Lavishes you with gifts. Sometimes they’re expensive, and you gasp when you open the case. But other times, they’re sentimental, and remind you of dates you’ve been on. 

・Is always flirtacious with you, and can make you blush with only three words

・With smirk at you from across the room. And your insides absolutely melt. 

・Always moves your hair out of your face, and if you have something on in your teeth he’ll point it out, or if you have something on your face he’ll wipe it off. Little things like that - it shows you that he cares

・Slowly reveals things about his upbringing and you want to cry whenever he reveals more. It’s absolutely excrutiating to hear, and he loves when you hold him afterwards. Even if he isn’t crying. You’ll rock him back and forth

Fated Mates

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 You’re so joyful. You light up every room you walk into. At times he thinks he doesn’t deserve you. That he’s not worthy of your love, or your time. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 Cassian! This made Lucien very uncomfortable. But you can’t help who you click with. He would be like a big brother, who can irritate you at times and is SO PROTECTIVE OVER YOU OMG. He will literally make sure you’re always safe. But he’s also so much fun, that there’s chaos whenever you two get together. 

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 A mix of Cassian and Feyre. I think there aren’t many characters who exude your personality, so I have to choose more than one. You have such a sweet energy, and you seem like so much fun. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒕

This world of fae, magic and mystery, your pet is a reflection of its land. A dragon, cracked from an egg you found in the forest near your home with Lucien. You had this pull towards it, to nurture it. And within a few days, it had cracked open to find a little baby dragon. 

Lucien was stunned. Absolutely taken aback. This hadn’t happened in centuries. Dragons were extinct. Or at least that’s what everyone thought. 

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏

𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑬𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒆 𝑴𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒏! You two would be such a fun time. Being friends first and then turning into best friends. You might not even be apart of the Hellfire Club - you could have vibed together in class one day, or worked at the record shop and hit it off. But either way, you both have similar personalities. Everyone wants to be around you even when you’re by yourself, so when you and Eddie are together, you hold everyone’s attention. You guys are THE LIFE OF THE FRICKEN PARTY!!!!!!!

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

・Calls you sweetheart. Yeah I know he calls his guitar that, but you’re just as important to him. 

・The banter between you two is out of this world! Even when you’ve spent days apart, you can come together and pick up right where you left off

・Will randomly lick your cheek, or bite you. There’s a whole scientific reason behind it too. 

・Randomly picks you up or tackles you onto the bed. He’s quite a physical guy, and likes to be in constant contact with you. Even when the contact ... isn’t so gentle

・Would absolutely let you paint his nails, but can you imagine piercing his ear?? Or giving him a stick-and-poke tattoo because I bet he’s done a few himself

Coming of Age

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 Absolutely loves your outgoing personality. He’s a social person himself (when he wants to be) and having you there cheers him up and encourages him. Even though he’s the leader of the Hellfire Club, in everyday society, he’s quite introverted. But with you, he can break free of that hold. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 Is Chrissy! I can see you growing up as childhood friends, or being neighbours. You know how sweet she is. You’re so protective over her, and I can sorta see this enemies to lovers thing going on with Eddie. Like thinking he had something to do with her murder, but the group proving that he didn’t do it. And then you spend time together and things unfold. 

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 You’re a mixture of Eddie, Robin and Steve. I know that’s three very different characters. But you have this likeability and I feel like people are naturally drawn to you. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒕

Honestly you seem like such an interesting and outgoing person. So,, I think your pet would end up being so untraditional. Ferretts make great pets, because they’re very social and curious. But if held the wrong way, they will bite ... I feel like that’s kinda like you-

𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏

𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏! I think you deserve someone who can stand their ground and fix any situation they’re in. Arthur would be too much of a clash to be your match, and Gwaine doesn’t have the emotional range that Merlin does. He’s great at making people feel safe and welcomed, and I think that’s what you would find so endearing. Plus he can be very funny and witty. 

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

・Always makes sure your clothes are clean and hung up ready for the next day

・Does get jealous when you’re around other men. He does feel inadequate at times, but you remind him that he’s more than enough. 

・Loves making you laugh. It actually gives him a confidence boost when you laugh at his jokes

・Being around you, Merlin gets so comfortable with the idea of being in a relationship. He desires one so much when he’s near you. So when you finally get together, he treats you like royalty. Flowers everyday, always makes sure there’s food waiting for you. He looks after you so much!

・Shows his love through acts of service and words of affirmation. Like said before with the clothes, food and flowers. He also writes you little notes and leaves them where he knows you’ll find them

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 He loves how you make people laugh. You cheer people up with so much ease. You don’t need to throw anyone underneath the bus to get people to like you - and that’s so rare. You’re a genuine person, and Merlin loves that. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 Gwaine! Either you’re a sister of one of the knights, or maybe even Gwaine’s. But he’s your best friend because of your similar personality. 

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 A mixture of Gwaine and Guinevere. Soft-hearted and gentle, but outgoing and fun. You make a loyal and brilliant friend, that everyone loves and admires.

You too, being a druid, or maybe a witch depending on which title you wish, were born with a familiar. In this world, where sorcery is forbidden, your family secretly practised it - as it was a deep-rooted tradition. 

So when you were born, a tiny kitten had found its way into your family home. His curious nature and outgoing personality were a foretelling of your own. And therefore he became an extension of you. 

He goes wherever you do. Some days he may disappear but he always comes back, because adventure is on this little guy’s mind. 

What have you called him?

ask game! 🎯🤩💘💭🎬

🎯 Do you have a writing milestone you’re working towards?

i'm working on finishing out my current wip, and getting it up to a nice even 10k. more generally, my current total word count of posted works is about 30k, but i hope to get it in the six figures by the end of the year.

🤩 What led to your interest in the fandom?

i watched death note for the first time a few years ago, and i liked it, but i didn't really get obsessed with it like i am now. recently, i ended up stuck at home for about a month with schedule reasons meaning that everyone i knew irl was busy, and bingewatched the entire show again. this time, i got really into it, and since i had already started writing fic, i decided to try my hand at writing some death note stuff after finishing my previous wip.

💘 Is it easier to write angst or fluff?

oooh this one is complicated lmao,,, i am a bit of a pantser, but i normally have very lighthearted story ideas in the beginning, which get weirdly angsty in the middle, before i finish the fic and take it back to fluff. i would say angst is easier, though!

💭 What inspires you and your writing?

a lot of stuff, but for death note fics, i'd say the musical inspires me the most out of all the adaptations. i especially like the ending, and if i ever want to write a sad ending for them, i am 100% stealing it from the musical. i also have a playlist of songs that remind me of death note and its characters! it's mostly sadder songs, since i mostly listen to sadder songs, which might be a factor in all my wips turning into angst lol.

🎬 If a movie or show were based on your fic, which fic would you choose and who would you fancast?

i'd probably choose teenagers, since it's the one i'm currently working on! when i finish it, i have an idea for a longfic (remisa fantasy au) that i'm really excited about, but i have a problem with getting ahead of myself and starting a new fic right before i finish up my last. since the main cast is light, L, mello, matt and near, I would probably go with the actors from the japanese stage recording of the musical for light and L, and for near, i would probably go with his actor from the drama (hopefully with a slightly better wig). i'm not sure who i would choose for mello and matt, though.

thanks for sending this!

Throwback to early 2020 (i originally posted it on 1/01) when I drew one of my dreamcasts, T’shan WILLIAMS as SEYMOUR. Her riffs are amazing, and I think she could give off very great vibes!
