As I mentioned and posted before, this takes place during the Edwardian era where the Wild West is ending and the beginning of modern times. this is the first part of the lineup (1/2) since there are more characters to be shown! This is the updated version of my edwardian ocs.

Thank you
I know I can't be the only one who just really, unironically loves Romeo and Juliet. Decades of forced readings in English classes and every terrible parody under the sun have ruined it for so many people but it's so good! It's popular for a reason! You're not cool and edgy for hating it! It's gorgeous and tragic and I just. I love r&j a lot.
I aboslutly agree with you by casting steven as ricky it adds a more tragic twist to the star lasso experience scene,if it had been jesse plemmons i would have been less sympathetic but with steven i felt bad for him
steven could have played it menacing, he played menacing in burning and it was fantastic and a little hot. but instead i just saw like a lost child in adult jupe, someone just getting by in an industry that clearly never valued him as a person by literally putting him on the same entertainment level as a chimp or having him be the "asian kid" which i know from experience with the walking dead fandom or the years of people thinking steven is ke huy quan (i'm so serious)..... probably hits close to home for steven as an actor. and now he thinks he's gained an upper hand using the horses to feed his metaphorical chimp but just like with gordy, the balloons pop eventually. but i was thinking also about how jupiter's claim will become a spectacle again once the dust settles and jupe will have gone from child star to animal attack survivor to amusement park face to jean jacket victim to unsolved mysterious mass disappearance it literally never ends
If I had to choose a last meal before getting sent to the gallows I would choose all of the worlds suffering so nobody has to hurt anymore
me: care about people
half the notes: youre the real oppressor for telling me what to do.
the other half: cut out this useless liberal proselatizing. you are an invertebrate and you will perish in the revolution.
