[ambastard]

Didn’t Michael Goorjian say that Robert Duvall wanted to be in Blood Drips Heavily on Newsies Square but they couldn’t find anything for him to do? I‘m legitimately gutted about that. Could you imagine legendary actor Robert Duvall, seven time Oscar nominee, in... Blood Drips Heavily on Newsies Square?

Character Profile: Skittery

Real Name: None

Nickname and Meaning: Skittery, because he’s nervous.

Age: Unsure. Could be anywhere between 10 and 18.

Gender: Skittery is played by a man.

Family: Unsure.

Skittery…:

Is, as his name implies, skittery. He’s very anxious about the price of papers being raised, saying “This'll bust me -- I'm barely makin' a livin' now!” (Newsies Film script, page 38) Once the boys start striking, he also speaks out about that. (Newsies Film script, page 54) All things considered, Skittery would prefer that things not happen to him. 

Thinks quickly. Despite his anxiety, when Snyder asks about Jack, Skittery is able to make up a lie on the spot, saying “I knew a Jack somebody once. Prob'ly not the same guy.” (Newsies Film script, page 73)

Is grumpy. During carrying the banner, Race asks him to pass a towel, and Skittery replies “for a buck, I might”. (Newsies Film script, page 5) Considering that was worth 30 modern dollars, Skittery is clearly not the person to ask when you need help. 

Headcanon Fuel:

Why is Skittery so anxious?

Why is Skittery so bad- tempered?

Actors and Physical Appearance:

Michael A. Goorjian

Skittery is tall and mature, with curly blonde hair.

Characters with Autism masterlist

n this masterlist you’ll find comic/movie/videogame/tv show characters that have Autism (not the actor but only the character they play). Like/Reblog if you thought it was useful.

Comics

Hikaru Azuma(With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child) [x] Sachiko and Masato's firstborn, and the main character of the series. His autism showed up one and a half years after his birth.  Hikaru hated to be picked up and held as a baby and did not grow in step with children his age, leading Sachiko to seek a doctor for him.  He always has been wearing diapers for a long time. He even stays in his stroller even when he's too old for it.  Hikaru dislikes loud and painful noises such as crowds, Buddhist chanting, and babies crying. He likes trains and memorizes many of them, including ones no longer running. Like many autistic people, when something is changed in his routine without any warning, such as a show switching times or being canceled, it upsets him. However, as the story continues, he and his parents figure out how to handle the situation. Since elementary school, he starts to show some unique talents, including cooking and mixing colors.

Black Manta(Aquaman)[x] An alternative version was given in #8 of the 2003 Aquaman series. In this origin, the boy who would become Black Manta was an autistic orphan placed in Gotham City's Arkham Asylum. He felt comfortable in freezing cold water, but found cotton sheets excruciatingly painful. Because the attendants at Arkham did not know how to deal with autism, they would end up restraining him to the bed as he struggled and screamed whenever they tried putting him to bed. In this version, young Black Manta was also fascinated when he saw Aquaman on television.

Johnny Do(Psi-Force)[x] Johnny Do is highly autistic and was treated as a virtual animal in a Russian project investigating paranormals.  Boyd was able to forge a connection with him and became his caregiver.

Autistic representation on CSI!!!!!!!!!

I'm watching csi again from the beginning, currently on ep: 7 (caged) s 2 and there's an autistic man (Aaron Pratt, actor Michael A. Goorjian) in this one as a witness to/suspect of a crime. Gil actually calls it immediately, and so did I when I saw how he talks and moves and I'm just so!!!! Flappy!!!!

Nick: he seems guilty.

Grissom: he's not guilty, I think he's autistic.*

Nick: you mean like rain man?

Grissom: rain man was a savant, this man is a high functioning** autistic (something left lobe?)

Nick: hmm, he sounds kinda like you.***

Also later:

Detective O'Riley: hey, you know that weird guy?

Grissom: he's not weird, he's autistic.

*look at that identity first language there!!!! Awesome!!

** :/

***since ep 1 this go around I KNEW Gil was autistic!!! It's so obvious now!!!!

So I'm thrilled so far with how Gil treats Aaron, he knows what he means when he talks, what his echolalia is, he knew to trigger a script/etiquette routine thing when Aaron was anxious at his apartment by asking for a glass of water, so he had something familiar for a minute!! He knows how his mind works, he understood the sensory reference when he said he doesn't touch that book anymore because it feels different!!! Gil even FINISHES HIS SHAKESPEARE ECHOLALIA OMG IMSO EXCITES!!!!

AND he shuts down/ignores any ableism anyone else shows towards Aaron, like when another suspect implied he was an unreliable witness due to being autistic, or defending/explaining his autistic traits to others in a way that normalized them, like he's so matter-of-fact about it other people can't really question it!! I love the whole episode!!

TL;DR imo pretty awesome autistic representation on CSI in the form of guest character Aaron Pratt (S2 E7) and also main character Gil Grissom (headcanon, hinted in-show)

Having just watched “The Promise” I have three comments.

1. I do recommend the film.  The Armenian genocide is not well known in the US, and this was certainly the first movie I'd seen about it.  Though I would have welcomed a little more background info on some of the politics, I found it interesting, fairly well-executed, and illuminating.

2. I cannot believe Michael Goorjian is not in this movie.  I cannot believe they didn’t put my favorite Armenian-American actor in the movie about Armenians, and I really really cannot believe that they passed up the opportunity to reunite Jack and Skittery.

3. Here's my idea for a movie touching upon the theme of the Armenian genocide.

The action takes place in both the 13th and 20th centuries.  In the former the focus is on illuminator T’oros Roslin as he creates the Zeyt’un Gospels, while later it shifts to the manuscript’s fate during the genocide and World War I, as it is protected and preserved as an important piece of Armenian cultural and religious heritage, and eventually makes its way to the US.  Whether or not the legal custody battle is a major part depends on how scary I decide the Getty’s lawyers are likely to be. 

And Michael Goorjian is definitely in this one.  Still, there are no romantic subplots, just loving, lingering closeups of the canon tables.

#jk I can totally believe all of it #man that would be a rad movie though
