Who’s Who of the Murder Birds – Part 5

 

I’ll be doing a series of reveals of the Murder Birds!  The hows, wheres, and whens are coming.

Top Left: Daisy Ridley – Rey
Top Middle (long): Michael Fassbender – Ghost
Top Right: Russell Crowe – Bud

Center: Pedro Pascal – Joel
Middle Right Top: Guy Pearce – X-Lee
Middle Right Bottom:  James McAvoy – Beast

Bottom Left: Pedro Pascal – Cisco 
Bottom Middle: Oscar Isaacs – Iago 
Bottom Right: Jamie Alexander – Sif

Reminder – the character you see, though distinct to a particular show may not be the story used as we stole the ‘actor/character’ and took them out of the confines of the story.  

Note: There is a reason that Pedro is on here twice as two different characters … not just because he’s a bastard who’s sneaking his way into storyline.  Let’s just say they were made to be identical.

Sylum Charity – Whale Day

Today is Whale Day!  I figured it was a good day to do Sylum Charity specific to the Ocean, and these beautiful creatures.

Ocean Conservancy is working with you to protect the ocean from today’s greatest global challenges. Together, we create evidence-based solutions for a healthy ocean and the wildlife and communities that depend on it.

For More Information:  Ocean Conservancy

While we’re talking about the Ocean and Whales – favorite whale?

For me – that’s hard.  Love Humpback whales, the Ocra’s are awesome, and Blue Whale’s are magnificient.

Who loves a Latte?  I know at least one person *pointedly looks at taibhrigh*

Me – I sadly can’t have caffeine.  Not even decaf as it still has caffeine.  *sighs sadly*

Character Introduction / Ehre/Weisheit Kin Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Eduard Cheirmine

Ehre/Weisheit: Hunter

 

Philipe and Eduard were Fraternal twins left at the Von Trapp’s doorstep when they were barely six months old.

The two were always inseparable and did everything together. Georg had made sure they were educated and well trained in sword fighting. Though Eduard took to the sword fighting like a Master.

It was Georg who first noticed something was wrong, when Philipe collapsed in the middle of a training session. He called the local doctor, who couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him, but the fact his blood was weak.

Taking him and Eduard to the Council, Plato informed them that both brothers were very sick, and it was a blood disease he had seen before but didn’t know how to fix. (Dilios Note: Plato looked back at his notes and realized both Cheirmine brothers had leukemia).

Imenand sat down with both of them, asked them if they thought about being Turned.

Pizza Day!

 

It’s Pizza Day!  

Okay so what’s your type?  Thin Crust, Deep Dish, Flat Bread, Cheese Filled …

I usually make my own, with a cheese béchamel sauce and lots of goodies like pepperoni, bacon, lots of veggies. 

So how do you like it?

Music.

We’ve talked about it a few times.  So what type is your favorite? 

Do you still listen to CD’s/Tapes/Records and have Spotify or Apple Music.

I still have CD’s in a box somewhere.   Never got back into Vinyl yet old enough for the first go around.

Probably have noticed I use Spotify, my partner in crime uses Apple Music.   

As for types of music – it’s all over the map.  Imagine Dragons to Hans Zimmer to Vo Williams.

Who’s Who of the Murder Birds – Part 4

 

I’ll be doing a series of reveals of the Murder Birds!  The hows, wheres, and whens are coming.

Top Right: Natasha Liu Bordizzo – Sabine
Top Middle (Circle): Clive Owen – Alton
Top Left: Leah Harvey – Salvor

Middle Right: George Eads – Lincoln
Middle Left: Idris Elba – Krall 
Middle Right: Val Kilmer – Montgomery

Bottom Right: Daniel MacPherson – Hugo

Reminder – the character you see, though distinct to a particular show may not be the story used as we stole the ‘actor/character’ and took them out of the confines of the story.  

Note: I normally don’t show case the fandom especially for the Murder Birds as it has no relevance to the storyline.   But Salvor & Hugo are from a show called Foundation.  There are also two other characters you’ll meet later also from that show.   It’s on Apple TV – Watch it you’ll enjoy it!  The main character is played by Lee Pace (our Cesare) and the one fighting him is Jared Harris (our Galileo) – you can see why we were attracted to it.
