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.

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.

Sylum Advent 2024: Archived

 

All advent offerings have been archived!  So please feel free to check it out, and if want leave a note to the author or artist.

As stated last month, we’ll be slowly removing the stories/art from the blog, this is taking time.   

We will make updates as we go on which has been moved over.

Now – go enjoy the archive.   Check out some of the older works and let those know you’re enjoying them.  

After all some of us have been doing this for 20 years now (feels very old suddenly)

Big Bang – Reminder

 

Just sending out a reminder, that this year there will be no Seven Days of Summer, instead we’re going to focus on having a Sylum Big Bang.

We’ll start posting sign ups in a couple of weeks.

We’re also changing timeline slightly to give everyone plenty of time to get stories done.

We’ll be posting in October, instead of July.  

Instead of a Seven Days – I’ll be posting fun 20th Anniversary stuff during that month!  What that will be – not sure yet, but fun to find out.

So if you’re interested in the Big Bang, keep an eye out for sign ups.

Top Right: Sigourney Weaver – Ripley

Bottom Right: Temura Morrison – Toa

Who’s Who of the Murder Birds – Part 1

 

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

Top Right: Moses Ingram – Rev 
Top Middle: Ralf Moeller – Hagen 
Top Left: Richard Armitage – Guy

Bottom Right: Jenette Goldstein – Vasquez 
Bottom Middle: Billy Zane – Kit 
Bottom Left: Liam Neeson – Peyton

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.  For example Hagen does not know Maximus and not part of the Gladiator storyline.

Side Note: The picture of the bird – is actually a Murder Bird – it’s an Australian bird – the cassowary – that can actually kill and do damage to humans.  It’s stated that it’s a direct descendent of the Velociraptor … so yes MURDER BIRD! 😀
