"God he just wants to be loved. All he has is a library and a cat... and Elmister, but c'mon give the man a break." - Tim Downie
Okay so I'm watching an interview with Gale's VA and Dan Allen and Tim's natural voice and cadence are so so close to Gale's it's almost weird. (Not only was the early concept for his audition because on MOCAP he would resemble Henry Cavil from the Tudors. Also, Tim Downie almost voiced Raphael, he auditioned for both parts) Here are a few quotes that made me think of our favorite purple wizard man -
"When I was younger, I was very much a night owl. But as I get older I find myself waking up earlier."
"What are you doing? Go back to bed this instant."
"I need every book here. How many times - it doesn't matter how many times I've read them, It doesn't matter. Don't get into the details."
"I was bidding my time. Just bidding my time, I know my stuff. I've done my research... no it was just complete fluke and luck."
"Horror and comedy work in very similar ways. Creep, creep, creep, open the door, nothing happens. You sigh in relief and then the thing happens. Creating that comfort and then hitting you with something. "
"Although, what you could actually have, maybe some artifact so we dont blow Daddy up. I'm just putting it out there, you wouldn't want Daddy blown up, would you? Of course you wouldn't. "
"What I found the hardest was saying something and then embodying it. Being too cerebral with things."
"The cake I made was perfectly baked, layered, colored. Just little bits and pieces and little ideas..."
"That's what you're watching, an adult man, mid 40's, working hard. I know, it's unbelievable isn't it?"
"OH, there'll be a romance thing. Okay, sure, yeah. Wait, there's going to be a lot of it?"
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry you're going to have to sit through all of this with me, again. Take a deep breath, and off we go."
"It was great, great fun. A lot of work and hard work to get it all done. But to give it everything it needed and everything it warranted, my Gods it was fun to do."
"I'm just an incredibly modest, calm, calm man."
"This is a trajectory, either it's a good outcome, a bad outcome or a miscellaneous outcome. But on this, it could be any of those things, and all of those things and none of those things."
♡ NOTES ♡
The boat scene in the weave took 4 sessions to film, roughly 6 hours because of various technical difficulties and script changes
He loved filming and recording Gale as a hologram, it was one of his favorite parts
some tiktokers are pairing valeria with ghost now?? ignoring the fact that he absolutely despises cartels and how he literally looked/sounded disgusted by her in the campaign?
i swear tiktok is a hellfest (sorry for a wee vent)
Ah yes, ah well. It's tiktok, i don't go there. I can hardly keep my insta up to date :') Let alone keep up with whats happening out there. I'm mainly vibing over here and a lil' on twitter :)
For me, Samuel Roukin said it best, period.
Dan Allen Gaming interviewed Borislav Slavov, the composer for Baldur's Gate 3 and I about fell out of my seat when he said that he can't wait to meet Andrew Wincott and shake his hand. (Around 37:40) THEY STILL HAVEN'T MET IN PERSON!? I also still can't wrap my head around the fact that the whole song direction for Raphael's Final Act was done over video calls. Incredible.
I sincerely hope he wins the Best Score and Music award from The Game Awards on the 7th. I mean, how often do game scores end up topping Spotify lists? It was an absolute crime that BG3 wasn't even a nominee for Best Audio from the Golden Joystick awards.
tim: yeah- well… alright i’m gonna be honest with you.
tim: i fell asleep for a second there, like like a two, i had a two second dream-
bart: yeah?
tim: -that like fish were stealing stuff, and then when i woke up I was like ‘man could you imagine if like- they didn’t just want your valuables they wanted cash
bart: *cackling*
tim: and then i said it out loud and like i dreamed that, you didn’t see any of that fish thing i just went through
anyone else lowkey feel bad for the ravens of neil’s sophomore year? cus that’s when the team is like shut down, right? but like what about the raven freshmen who had no idea what they were getting into. cus by the time riko “killed himself” they would’ve already signed their contracts… so like what happens to them?
and all the others… there’s what, like 22 of them? who’s gonna take them in so abruptly and also with the whole scandal going on?? so just like that exy career over? that kinda sucks for them yk
*✧・゚:* my aftg headcanon that has been keeping me awake at night: *:・゚✧*
So, what if the perfect court had corresponding cheerleaders? But instead of numbers on their faces, they were tattooed with the first letter of the name of whomever they were linked to? (Like an “R” for Riko, a “K” for Kevin” and a “J” for Jean)
I have 3 OC’s for this; I’m not sure if this cheerleading perfect court was ever put into the public, kind of like a failed investment and they ended up branching them into different streams of income for the family, OR if they were just kept out of the media as trainers for the squad etc.
I don’t think Kevin or Jean would have ever told anyone about them if they were never made public; I think it would be a touchy subject and just a kind of different relationship between the group of them in general. Not bad necessarily, maybe even good, just different.
lol just another fic idea I want to write some day😭 I have legit been having weirdass dreams about this plotline lmao
Re-watching Dan Allen Gaming’s stream of RDR featuring Rob and can’t get over Rob’s reaction to his sexy hip pops in Political Realities in Armadillo. 🤣🤣
