“Can we pretend for 5 minutes?
Close your eyes
And dream in color
Paint me your favorite color
And outline me with broken chalks
You are your favorite fairy tale
Your grandmothers recipe to hugs
You have scars
With time, they transform to memories”

About 8 cockroaches just crawled out of the bag of ground coffee we’ve been drinking for weeks. Someone call in a napalm strike on NYC.

scatterbrainuk:

First Elisa Maza: Rosario Dawson

i just see her as the live action version. Elisa is the more badass version of her character from the marvel series with a more central role. Rosario is more than capable of portraying the sassy yet deep Elisa i remember from the show.

Much like Darth Vader theres only one man who can and should voice Goliath: Kieth David

one of the most memorable things about this show is this mans magnificent voice. Im not kidding if Keith, James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman are ever in the same movie or show together it will be the most  awesome vocal experience to the ears. the guy could play anything and make the character awesome, so he needs to come back to play the shows most badass character. 

This next one was a bit tough but for Hudson: Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid from harry potter)    

I wanted a proper Scottish actor to play Hudson and whilst Hudson is usually very serious he does have his softer side with both Bronx and Elisa. Robbie as we know can play a big softy as Hagrid but he’s also played some serious and even sinister characters as well.

the next three are the younger Gargoyles so im going to pick younger actors for them 

First Brooklyn: Joe Keery 

Brooklyn was the “try to be cool but usually looks like a fool” wise cracking one and as Steve from Stranger things Joe plays this character really well with his comedic timing. I also got the sense that Brooklyn was the oldest of the three as he definitely had more of a leader role when it was just them. 

Next is Brooklyn and after much thinking Jacob Batalon  

Broadway is meant to be a sweet by naive character and Ned from spiderman homecoming was both. At first i thought of Jonah Hill but i’ll be honest his voice is kind of annoying and he only ever seems to play one sort of character and its never sweet, usually pervy which is not how i see Broadway.

Next Lexington: Finn Wolfhard

I always thought Lexington was the youngest of the group being the smallest and most child like, which was a good contrast for him being the tech whiz kid of the group which made him a fan favorite for me. Doubly so years later when i found out the comic continuing the series had started a story line where he would be gay. As for his actor Finn has a very distinctive voice like Lex and has shown he can portray serious, emotional and humorous rolls with both Richie and Mike as his most well known characters. plus if they ever did that what if scenario where Lex went evil i would love to see finn have a crack at it. 

last for the heroes Frank Welker, the man of a thousand voices (including megatron, abu and a thousand growling animals) MUST return as Bronx

Next we have probably the best Villain in this show: Demona: Gwendoline Christie    

That voice, for both of them. As a child i remember feeling dread in every episode she appeared much like children dread seeing the daleks in doctor who; you know something bad was going to happen and that she would be scary doing it on screen. Gwendoline is just frigging amazing and she needs the chance to shine as proper villain and not the disappointing captain phantasm we got.

Macbeth: Gerard Butler 

Just imagine Gerard in the fight scenes of medieval Scotland one minute and fighting Goliath with futuristic weaponry the next and tell me it wouldn’t look badass. He is perhaps Scotland’s most badass action actor after all. 

Xanatos: George Clooney  

Xanatos is suave and smooth. Those words are George Clooney. the guy could sell anything and give a performance so charming you would at least pay attention to what he was saying. Plus Xanatos isn’t your usual type of villain with talks of how he’ll take over the world or laughing maniacally, and i think Clooney would play it perfectly.        Gwendoline Christie    

Since Gargoyles is going onto Disney+ i thought id repost my fan cast for a live action movie or series. still stand by my choices. really hope the show gets the same love it got back when i watched it.

There’s something really fascinating about taking an iconic person, and figure in art history, and humanizing them. In Andy Warhol: Revelation, visitors get to enjoy a rarely-seen look into the artist’s personal life—including his cherished relationship with his mother.

Resistance. It’s one of the motifs that unifies the artwork from our contemporary collection on display in “The Slipstream: Reflection, Resilience, and Resistance in the Art of Our Time.” This includes the photography of John Edmonds, Elle Pérez, and Zanele Muholi.

Uniquely, these photographs celebrate the self-possessed presence and power of visibility. A do-rag, a chest binder, and a stoic portrait communicate activism in culture, identity and self-expression.

You can see these photographs in The Slipstream through April 10 along with other works from our collection that explore strategies for staying grounded, gathering strength, and considering paths into the future.

Go ahead, zoom-in if you wanna. On the corner of Lafayette and Franklin Avenues, you’ll be happy to find Fan-Fan Doughnuts. This familiar neighborhood spot is known for delicious handmade doughnuts and worldly, wide-ranging flavors. Chef and Founder of Fan-Fan Doughnuts, Fany Gerson, spoke about the mission, attention to detail and the classic shop’s first-ever chocolate doughnut festival by sharing the following…

“Fan-Fan is dedicated to making great doughnuts, making people happy, and bringing people together. We celebrate diversity and are inspired by the flavors and traditions from around the globe.

We take a lot of care and pride in what we do. We make our doughnuts in small batches throughout the day so you will always have the freshest and often warm one! At the end of the day, we strive to create a loving community and bring joy to the world. The sense of community in the neighborhood and Brooklyn in general is very strong and one of the reasons I love it so much. Brooklyn has a rich history and also continuous movement at the same time. It’s interesting, vibrant and has great energy.

Last year I created our first chocolate doughnut festival and it was a 3-day chocolate fest! The theme was ‘Around the World’ as I felt people were homesick (I certainly was) and also longing to travel, to experience things and needed joy! The names and flavors of the doughnuts represented countries all over the globe and it was just so beautiful to hear people calling out the different name .. I’ll have “a South Africa, India, Mexico, Japan, Iran”.. etc… there was one moment where I stopped to take it all in. We had a huge line around the block and I looked up to smiles and kept hearing the names. It was beautiful. We are getting ready for our second chocolate festival, which will be in May. It will be a different theme, but we are sooo excited and cannot wait to share with the world!

We look forward to welcoming you soon! Also, please support small businesses.” #SupportBrooklyn
