hello cat & mouse! hope you're doing well. i was hoping you could help me find some MENA and southwest asian female fcs in the 24-28 age range with acting credits? (they can do other things but the rp requires acting!) i know 5+/- is common, but if they could be within this range & not just passable for that age range that would be great! her husband & his fc are 26 & the storyline is they've known each other since they were kids so i'd like for them to be close in age. thanks so much!

Top 100 Ladies of TV

A challenge issued by @televinita that ended up being a lot harder than I expected?? For someone who watches as much TV as I do, this should’ve been a cakewalk but I was struggling.

Disclaimer: yeah, a few of these characters are technically from books that then got adapted into TV shows, which may be a bit of a cheat, but this is an arbitrary list that is completely meaningless to anyone who isn’t me, so I’ve decided that it’s not against the rules.

Michael Winslow in Alphabet City (Amos Poe, 1984)

Cast: Vincent Spano, Michael Winslow, Kate Vernon, Jami Gertz, Zohra Lampert, Raymond Serra, Kenny Marino, Danny Jordano, Tom Mardirosian. Screenplay: Gregory K. Heller, Amos Poe. Cinematography: Oliver Wood. Production design: M. Nord Haggerty. Film editing: Graham Weinbren. Music: Nile Rodgers. 

In 1984, a cop show called Miami Vice revolutionized its genre with hip music and lots of style, transforming the city where it was set into a place where even wickedness looked good. In the same year, director Amos Poe tried to do something similar for the gangster movie in New York's Lower East Side with a movie called Alphabet City. He cast a 20-something actor, Vincent Spano, as Johnny, a 19-year-old sharp-dressing factotum for the mob, and sent him cruising the city streets in a limited edition Pontiac Trans Am to the music of Nile Rodgers. The movie's streets are hosed-down and shiny and the city lights are haloed by a fog filter. Johnny has a wife/partner/companion named Angie (Kate Vernon), who does abstract expressionist paintings and tends to their infant daughter in the loft where they live. He cruises about, collecting from drug dealers like Lippy (Michael Winslow) and club owners who pay the mob protection. But then the mob boss wants Johnny to torch an apartment building, which is a problem because Johnny's sister, Sophia (Jami Gertz), and his mother (Zohra Lampert) live there. We learn that Sophia is a professional party girl and Mama spends her time ironing while her slob of a boyfriend snoozes on the sofa before the TV, and Johnny has some trouble persuading them to vacate. So he decides to quit the mob and tries to persuade Angie that they should take the baby and run. Naturally, the mob sends out hit men and Johnny has to deal with them. And that's pretty much it. Spano has real presence, and Winslow creates an amusingly quirky character for Lippy, but the clichés are as pervasive as the lens-created fog that blurs the streetlights. Alphabet City is worth watching only as an example of the high '80s style that MTV made ubiquitous, but if you want to see that the reruns of Miami Vice are more worth watching.

84 From '84: Alphabet City

A New York City drug dealer decides to get out of the business, but has to flee from mobsters. Cast: Vincent Spano as Johnny Michael Winslow as Lippy Kate Vernon as Angie Jami Gertz as Sophia Zohra Lampert as Mama Raymond Serra as Gino Kenny Marino as Tony 1984 memories I’m pretty sure this movie never played in my towns theater. I’ve never heard of it or seen it. The poster is pure…

[madelynhimegami]

There's also when you encounter Renault in the first Kishuna chapter, and Sophia in Victory or Death!

Special note is that if Serra or Farina enter the Sophia ruins, they just scream until Sophia offers an item

After finishing FE fates conquest's final boss, I decided I needed some therapy relaxation, so I went back to play fe7. I recently learned that theres unique dialogue for various events in this game (lulu and ninian seem to have the same "personality type" so they share lines)

i always love learning new lil things like this, it really brings out their characters

love the lil things

30 jours pour écrire, jour 4, le coeur s'emballe

Je pousse un long soupir, tout en opinant du chef à la dernière remarque de mon hôte. Revenu de campagne quelques semaines auparavant, j’avais été jusque-là laissé avec moi-même, prétextant de devoir retrouver mes marques à la capitale avant de pouvoir profiter de mes amis.

Leur patience était venue à bout plus rapidement que je ne l’aurai cru, et je fus invité à un repas chez l’un de mes anciens camarades d’études, devenu professeur à l’université ; et dont plusieurs papiers étaient parus dans l’une des plus prestigieuses revue scientifique du pays. Je ne réussis pas à me dérober cette fois-ci et me présentait, comme il est bon de le faire, avec un petit peu d’avance à son appartement.

Dans la petite foule des convives, je reconnais plusieurs visages : Oswald, un camarade devenu instituteur, et Sophia, dont j’avais été jadis le tuteur, alors qu’elle entrait en première ann��e de médecine et moi, finissait mon cursus. Les deux autres visages me sont inconnus, mais de leur manière de se présenter, j’en conclus que c’est moi qui les ai oubliés.

J’avise Manfred que j’avais espéré quelque chose de plus discret, en plus petit comité. Il rit de ce qu’il pense un blague, m’affirmant qu’il avait fourni des efforts pour ne pas inviter moitié de la capitale pour mon retour. C’est ce qui avait valu mon soupir.

Depuis mon retour, je n’avais vu personne. Je me contentai de vivre simplement, profitant de ma retraite prématurée pour savourer la vie mondaine qui m’avait toujours échappée. La seule visite que j’avais acceptée était Adélaïde, une camarade avec qui j’entretiens une relation intime, et cela, bien avant mon départ. Pourtant, même elle n’était pas parvenue à me faire parler de la dernière campagne à laquelle j’avais pris part. Je craignais que cette soirée ne soit qu’un piège pour parvenir à me faire parler.

Le repas fut léger, et agréable ; pourtant, je ne souhaite que partir, rentrer chez moi. D’anciens camarades, ils étaient devenus des inconnus. Tandis que je vivais aux frontières, dans les territoires occupés par le royaume, ils avaient chacun construit une carrière. Je pourrais être pris pour quelqu’un de jaloux, mais ce n’est pas cela : eux et moi avons pris des directions différentes, et pour le temps d’un café, il se pourrait que je prenne plaisir de les côtoyer. Le temps d’un repas, pourtant, je fini par manquer de conversation, moi qui ne connais que le lointain et la guerre. Je suis ravi d’apprendre que Sophia s’est mariée, et que Monsieur est celui qui garde les enfants, d’apprendre que Marie et Arthur sont deux collègues de Manfred, que je ne connais pas.

Pourtant, malgré ma lassitude grandissante, j’accepte de me joindre à eux encore pour quelques instants, le temps de prendre un whisky dans le petit salon de l’appartement. Voilà des années que je n’ai pas eu autre chose que du brandy à boire.

« Alors, dis-nous. » commence Manfred, sans préambule, à peine assis sur le fauteuil. Les modes de la ville n’ont donc pas changé pendant ma longue absence, et les petits salons servent toujours de confessoires entre contemporains. La différence, ceci étant, vient du fait que ce qui est dit dans les salons se retrouvent généralement partagés dans toute la ville au bout de quelques jours seulement.

« Il n’y a rien à dire de plus que les journaux ont parlé. » déclarai-je, sachant pertinemment que cela ne suffira pas. L’ensemble des regards sont tournés vers moi, tâchant de voir transparaitre sur mon visage le moindre signe d’hésitation.

« C’est bien cela le problème ! » commente Sophia, « Les journaux ont été bien avare en détail, impossible d’avoir le moindre détail. » J’avais appris, durant la soirée, que Sophia était devenue médecin à son tour, puis avait quitter le corps médical pour fonder sa propre clinique privée. C’est là qu’elle y rencontra Marcus, son mari, un des médecins recrutés.

« Il faudra attendre la fin de la guerre, alors. » Le mot assène un coup dur à mes quatre tortionnaires. Il est évident qu’ils n’ont pas l’habitude de l’entendre. On évite volontiers le mot guerre, au profit de campagne, ou d’évènements, voire de conflit.

« Allons, mon ami, tu as bien quelque chose que tu puisses nous dire ! » Leur insistance me mit mal à l’aise. Adélaïde avait tenté la même chose, mais s’était vite rétractée en voyant que je ne dirai rien. Sans nul doute, je n’allais pas pouvoir attendre la même compassion ce soir. Je tâchais de garder mon sourire et mon calme, tandis que je sentais mon cœur s’emballer, de colère, de peur également.

« Rien de bien intéressant, je ne le crains ; je n’étais pas sur le front, et me contentait de recoudre les plaies et de soigner les blessés que l’on m’envoyait. » Ma réponse, une nouvelle fois, ne fut pas suffisante, et je dû continuer. « J’occupais un hôpital de fortune, à l’arrière. Il ne s’y passait rien de bien particulier, outre que les malades étaient tous soldats. Quelques rebelles parvinrent à nous atteindre, mais ils ne pouvaient rien faire quant à la présence de nos défenses sur place. De plus, on respecte les hôpitaux par là-bas ; chacun sait que nous autres, médecins, avons choisi de servir la vie plutôt que la mort.»

Le mensonge était si bien rodé, que mes camarades ne doutèrent pas de ce que j’expliquai. Rare étaient les détails donnés, et imaginer une mairie de campagne déguisée en hôpital eu assez de goût pour que je sois relâché de ma peine. On me remercia, et je fus libre de partir. Ils ne remarquèrent pas, je pense, ni mon poing qui se serra, ni les palpitations m’habitant.

Dans les rues sombres, je marche sans presser le pas, m’allume une cigarette. Mon cœur ne ralentit pas, et je commence à sentir monter en moi l’angoisse. Cette soirée avait duré plus longtemps que prévu, et les questions avaient duré pendant plus de la moitié de mon séjour dans le riche appartement.

Du coin de l’oreille, j’entends le sifflement d’une bombe, et tandis que je lève la tête, je ne vois rien. Simplement mon imagination. J’écrase ma cigarette terminée et remarque que, marchant sans m’en apercevoir, j’avais atteint l’appartement d’Adelaïde. Levant la tête, je remarque la lumière de son appartement, allumée. Je ne saurai dire, moi qui veux retrouver mon chez moi, pourquoi je sonne au bas de son immeuble. Elle ne dort pas, et malgré la surprise, m’ouvre la porte. En montant les marches, je me dis que je peux faire demi-tour, qu’elle comprendrait sans poser de question.

Pourtant, l’instant suivant, je me tiens dans ses bras, le cœur battant une chamade rare. Dans la chaleur de son corps, mes peurs s’envolent. Je comprends au bout d’un instant que les larmes ont commencé à rouler sur mes joues sans que je ne le veuille. Je ne comprends pas ce qu’elle me dit, mais sa voix calme mes pens��es, qui tourbillonnent. Elle m’installe sur son canapé, où nous avons déjà partagé tant de choses. Ses mains enserrent les miennes, et je retrouve un peu de tranquillité. Elle me dit de ne jamais m’avoir vu ainsi, que je l’inquiète, ce n’est pas mon genre de sortir après la tombée du jour. J’explique, le repas, et les questions sans fin. Je regarde ce visage d’ange qui m’observe en silence, le poids du monde qui effondre mes épaules, lasses des mensonges.

« Nous sommes arrivés à la frontière au début de l’automne, et les premiers ordres furent donnés… »

La nuit durant, je racontais toute l’histoire à mon amante, qui écouta sans broncher, et dont j’entends encore le cœur qui s’emballe.
