April Cottingley, 18-20 (I'm still not sure how old she is)
April's attitude is based on . . .whatever it is Miley Cyrus is trying to fail at on purpose. She has that kind of "we can't stop and we won't stop" swagger. Just a bit.

Thistle and Tirney
Thistle, 18 (Dianna Aragon)
Tirney Cottingley, 20 (Kylie Bunbury)
Ty, 44
Her accent is probably obvious now ( Jenny McCarthy)
Cillian O'Conner
We all know his picspiration but here are a few more photos. I'm not sure if I said this but Cillian is based on how Channing Tatum sounds and acts in StepUp. He's got that sort of deep, clipped quiet demeanor. Channing was originally Cillian's picpsiration but he just wasn't. . . hot enough. Yes, I ralized the ballet connection but that wasn't until later.
Chapter 6
Playlist
+1+ On Top Of The World- Imagine Dragons (The SH-LILE go to band was this a top 40 ? It's so catchy)
+2+ Full Circle - Half Moon Run (This was in the Assasian's Creed trailer)
Somehow Tinery and Thistle being Ballerinas came in later and I realized the connection to the Step-Up film. This happens again with something else in the story.
I loved this chapter,.....it all needs to be longer ! Actually, I'm kidding, I know you said this was short and I don't want to get to the end to soon.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Lile we need to go and steal Imagine Dragons now and make them write songs for our serials ! Actually, it’s funny, I look at the Top 100 on Spotify and they seem to be dominating the alternative section.
iknorite ? I would say longer chapters to come. . . but they are all pretty medium sized.
DeleteOkay, we have the nightmare part, the fairy and fairytale part, but where does the American part come in ? I mean there must be a reason this doesn’t happen in Ireland ?
ReplyDeleteIt's called American Fairytale because it takes place in America. Also Cillian is Native American. . . so yeah ? (although I had the story BEFORE I had his character so . . .) Rule of Cool ?
DeleteThis chapter was haunting. So...What does Seelie mean ?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just got the Coleman thing ! Like the street, right ?
ReplyDeletewhatever it is Miley Cyrus is trying to fail at on purpose.
Oh, snap shots fired LiLe.
Not really. Miley is doing what she is doing on purpose. She's not *trying* to be sexy or provocative. . . she's trying to do it badly.A subversion of our usually expectations of the expoltation of women. I think . . . IDK. . .but we are talking about her so it's working.
DeleteBut, why would a bunch of fairies princesses agree to work as waitresses for the summer ?
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder why they don’t have Irish accent...
DeleteTy ran away (from the Court) a long time ago to find April and keep her safe. She moves to Cascade Falls to hide out and kind of settled in. Being human is the only life Tirnery and Thistle know
DeleteI kind of think the real question here is who is supposed to be the human child raised as the Unseelie princess. Does that person show up ? y/y ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe April killed her or is going to kill her.
DeleteYou know, they may not be literally the faeries from the story. Maybe they are like the reincarnated version or something.
ReplyDeleteNo. They are the characters from the story. Ty is the light faerie and April is the princess.
DeleteI never though I’d love Faeries ! I can totally see April in the Demi Lovato pics. I think Demi is way prettier as a brunette than a blonde.
ReplyDeleteThis has to be my favorite chapter yet...even if there is no Logan or Jerry ! Cillian is by far your funniest narrator.
ReplyDeleteCottingley ? Is this the first time we’ve gotten the last name of the T-Girls ?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's revealed in a future chapter but t NEVER said again so I was like whatever.
DeleteGeez, I hope Cillian’s dad wasn’t killed by a faerie or something. Also, if there are Faerie Queens can we assume there are some faerie kings too ?
ReplyDeleteNo, Cillian's dad wasn't killed by a Fae, that would be old school LiLe. It's only subtley mentioned but he accidentally drove off of a mountain road.
Delete
ReplyDeleteI mean, I know its for clarity purposes, but I love how Cillian and Thistle sign their texts with their names. It’s cute !
They would do it anyways because they don't recognize each others numbers
DeleteMeta : Wait, when did they exchange numbers ?
LiLe : . . .
I can totally see the Channing Tatum srs bsns vibe in Cillian. Although, that picture of him to the left...I get it’s supposed to be sexy, but it looks kind of odd.
ReplyDeleteNo Logan or Jerry picspiration ? I imagine Jerry as like Harvey Kietel or someone, IDK why.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard finding actors who look the way I picture them. Although I kind of picture Jerry as Coach Whitey from OTH.
DeleteI can’t wait until we find out what is with the ballet thing. I mean, what’s the point of doing ballet if you get to rule a kingdom?
ReplyDelete
DeleteIDK, if all ballerinas were secretly magical fairies then what their bodies can do would make a lot more sense to me. (:
Well . . . Ty is a third daughter meaning she will never rule anything. Like I said in an earlier comment Ty's daughters have no connection to the Fae world and they are happy with that so they take up dancing. April on the other hand is the complete opposite, which is why she hates ballet.
Delete
ReplyDelete*goes to look at Jenny McCarthy interview* Oh, okay the accent makes sense now.
OMG, CILLIAN DID YOU REALLY SAY BROS BEFORE HOES AND OMG NYBARISTA WHY DID YOU LAUGHT AT IT ?!
ReplyDeleteMore like chicks before d*cks
DeleteAnd Sisters before Misters !
Delete
ReplyDeleteAww, I feel a bit for April though and I love her attitude.
Does she have an fashion picspirations ?
Yes, I'll post them as I go.
DeleteGah, it was too short ! Still, I think Cillian is somehow tied up in this fairytale, why else would April bother to tell him.
ReplyDeleteShe's telling him for one very subtle reason.
Delete
ReplyDeleteThis is what confuses me. Is April her real name ? Because if she got it from the magazine how did the Thistle know to refer to her as April in the last chapter.
She hears this exchange in chapter 5
Delete“No, I’m here about April.”
She taps a pencil against the counter and looks confused as she places a cake in the display case.
“Who is April ?”
“Your other daughter. The one with the moles and eyes . . .”, I start make gestures but I can’t say it.
Ty looks over to where Thistle and Tirney were rolling napkins in the corner.
“Taegan ? She’s studying abroad.”
“No, April”, I say leaning in knowing I sound crazy, “I know you are like her. She was in my room. . . she’s been torturing me… in my sleep. I'm having Nightmares”
Her mouth opens as if to say “oh”, but she says nothing.
“That’s how she made it home that night”, she says to herself
So she didn’t think I was crazy. Which meant there was some sort of not right voodoo in this town.
“Please”, I say, “Make her stop. Make it stop and I--”
“April is not my daughter and I can’t exactly tell her what to do. . . no one can, really.”
The look on Ty’s face got the attention of Tirney and Thistle who were now making their way over.
Wow, Kylie and Diana actually look kind of alike in those photos.
ReplyDeleteI love Meraz as the Cillian inspiration, but dayum, Channing Tatum though...also I love that he married his Step Up co-star and got busy (:
ReplyDeleteI legit wonder if they have that poster somewhere in their house.
DeleteLol !
Delete
ReplyDeleteDare I sense another LiLe love triangle….one between Thistle and April ?
Do you ? Do you ?
DeleteI think Sera and April need to have a badass chick-off !
ReplyDeleteUm, hmmm . . I'll put that idea in my vault.
DeleteSo, is the story April told in anyway related to Thumbelina ? Or is that just an American thing ?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI think I’m in love with April. I mean she can have an attitude, but that seems reserved for Cillian and she is so great with the Coleman kids, even if she isn't one of those super maternal types.
Do we know what Cillian's mom and stepdad do for a living ? I mean they don't work in casinos do they ?
ReplyDeletehmm . . . in my head his Stepfather is a prison guard and his mom is a school secretary.
