❝ YEAH, i was in the blob. ❞ she jerks her thumb at the incriminating poster in question ― top billing right next to her mirror. it gets a chuckle out of her on most days, even the ones where she stands in front of her so-called reflection far longer than she should. rita likes to think of it as a testament to her character. that, or a burgeoning career in comedy.

❝ lead. no one remembers that, thank god. i’d never hear the end of it. ❞

hi. what if this was a starter call :]

TREASURE PLANET (2002) PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from the disney film, adjust as necessary

you're gonna rattle the stars.

now you listen to me, [name]. you got the makings of greatness in you, but you got to take the helm and chart your own course.

look at you, glowing like a solar fire.

you're something special, [name].

let me make this as... monosyllabic as possible.

how did i describe them?

i said something rather good this morning before coffee.

there you go. poetry.

i'm an astronomer, not a doctor!

i am a doctor, but i'm not that kind of doctor. i have a doctorate. it's not the same thing. you can't help people with a doctorate.

you just sit there and you're useless.

i won't bore you with my scars.

oh shut up. you know i don't mean a word of it.

i'm starting to see my life pass in front of my eyes.

you have wonderful eyes.

yes, you. i have a question.

is it that your body is too massive for your teeny-tiny head, or is it that your head is too teeny-tiny for your big fat body?

i have one more question.

is this yours?

well, this has been a fun day.

without the map, we're dead.

if we try to leave, we're dead.

what a joke.

at least you taught me something.

that's just what i'm gonna do.

you still don't know how to pick your fights.

are you saying this because it's the right thing, or because you really want to go?

playing games, are we?

thanks for the lift, guys.

don't mention it.

this is the answer to all our problems!

don't you remember? all those stories?

would you please explain how ridiculous this is?

it's totally preposterous! traversing the galaxy alone!

now at last we hear some sense.

you flatter me, [name].

i feel like such a useless weakling.

stay out of trouble!

that was more fun than i ever want to have again.

so... uh. how'd that happen anyway?

i've got two new friends i'd like you to meet.

are your parents around?

i've got some plans to make people see me a little different.

sometimes plans go astray.

you take care now.

this should be a wonderful opportunity for the two of us to get to know one another.

with the greatest possible respect, zip your howling screamer.

we're about to get under way!

i'll follow you.

you know the rules.

maybe your ears don't work so well.

i just don't want to see you throw away your entire future.

i don't know how you manage it.

did you actually aim for that?

what is all this stuff?

wait wait wait! what about the treasure?

i don't want to lose you.

i'll make you proud.

i'm sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be.

i say we kill them all now.

all my life, i've been waiting for an opportunity like this.

i don't include that much (correct) screenplay-esque formatting in my writing because 1) i don't know it that well, and i don't care about looking it up because 2) i don't want to overemphasize that aspect of her character; which is why you might see me use stage cues - especially of the technical kind - which i am familiar with, except the formatting is still incorrect because 1) rita's not a stage actress - she's a hollywood upstart 2) being familiar with it makes it a little bit cringe. to me.

IT IS THEIR VOICE, firstly, that rita dimly registers as familiar, long before she can put a name to their face: a less than flattering sort of recognition that makes her steal furtive glances at nearby exit signs, neon-bright in the ever lower light of the place. SUBTLETY’S NEVER BEEN HER STRONG SUIT. rita can only hope that the strained smile she flashes their way to cover up her alarm paints an image of mildly confused newcomer and not out-of-town, out-of-costume hero that, unfortunately, feels the need to get involved.

RITA, ( V.O. ) : i don’t think when in rome applies to gotham.

muse questions generator. generate 5 - 10 random questions and answer them for your muse. stolen from @lamprog , yoink it from me.

favorite color? any special meaning? pink. think pink from funny face (1958) is the contemporary [to her] musical number she love-hates the most.

any nicknames? dislikes diminutives that aren't rita ( shortening her full given name to ‘ash’ is a hard no; ash[o]ur is almost ok ). epithets are alright so long as they're few and innocuous, but you are not calling her e-girl in 2024 and getting away with it.

go-to password. a sentimental phrase, her birthdate in differing m/d/y order, and a string of excited punctuation is her usual go-to.

how tall is she? rita can be as tall as she wants to be, which comes out to exactly two inches taller than you.

fight or flight response. fight until the very end, even at her own expense - they don't call it a codsville maneuver for nothing.

[doomedgal]

my headcanon for rita re: her acting fame + how that interacts with her hero fame is best explained with an experience i had at a play viewing of the wooster group in my experimental theatre class; willem dafoe was in it, and someone audibly gasped and went "omg is that the green goblin?"

[doomedgal]

me extrapolating ( read: reaching ) "rita was [primarily] a horror actress" from a JLA:Y1 joke about getting sig weaver's autograph for j'onn and V5's crack at her starring in a the blob remake [the second] truly was the catalyst of my rita portrayal going off the rails ( good )

[doomedgal]

one of the key components of rita’s playlist is that all the songs that were originally from the '50s-‘60s are actually covers of them (death letter predates the ‘60s, but was recorded in 1965). this is meant to evoke rita’s [modernized] anachronisms, among other things. some of them are my favorite picks, and some of them are just there for the sake of being covers;

i was introduced to death letter blues from the white stripes cover, but that did not fit rita at all, and i much preferred a cover that stayed with the original blues genre.

the moon river cover i actually wanted was the bayonetta 2 ost cover; that's the crazy off-the-wall shit i'm looking for. good luck getting nintendo to put that on spotify, though. the one on rita’s playlist is a cover of the bayonetta cover; it’s nice, but doesn't have the same … oomph to it.

i scroll through spotify for a lovely rita cover sung by a woman. it has to be gay.

the partially-khmer laisses tomber les filles cover is a personal touch. i thought about asking my dad to transcribe the lyrics so i could add it into the playlist cover graphic, but like. i do not want to have that conversation lmfao.

i won’t put jesus christ superstar on rita’s playlist out of self-respect, so superstar is the second best funny option. i just kinda picked a good cover; i used to have a different one, but swapped it after scrolling through a second time.

pj harvey’s is that all there is? cover is the leading song on rita’s playlist for a reason. the organs, the intensity, the tonal change from disillusioned to haunting, the performance piece of it all… this was the blueprint for the whole ‘‘60s cover’ idea.
