So, I understand that generally the fandom has decided that Hestia Jones is Indian, but have you considered that with names such as Gwenog and Megan (and the fact that they’re canonically Welsh) the Jones family should totally have the thickest Welsh accents known to man. They can still be Indian, matter of fact, make them the darkest Indian you can, but I want the thickest Welsh accents coming out of those mouths because the concept is hilarious to me. Hestia and Basil aren’t particularly Welsh names, but fucking Gwenog???

I just imagine some school friends going over to Hestia, Gwenog and Meg’s Dad’s house and meeting their parents only to discover they have the thickest Indian accents and speak almost no Gaelic, Welsh or English. Like bitches where the fuck did your thick ass Welsh ass accents come from???? Because it certainly wasn’t your god damn parents!! And how the fuck is your surname Jones??? What amount of international travel happened in this lineage???

Topthorn and Basil Jones!

An actor struggles to die onstage, but a puppet has to struggle to live. And in a way that’s a metaphor for life.

Reports from Edinburgh Fringe confirm that the use of puppets in productions is still in full swing. For insight into the renaissance of puppetry, straight from the horse's mouth, see Basil Jones and Adrain Kohler, of Handspring Puppet Company's TED talk.

Handspring Puppet Company: The genius puppetry behind War Horse

This is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I genuinely want to see the production this was made for.

The Handspring Puppet Company, a gloriously ambitious troupe of human and wooden actors. Beginning with the tale of a hyena's subtle paw, puppeteers Kohler and Basil Jones build to the story of their latest astonishment: the wonderfully life-like Joey, the War Horse, who trots (and gallops) convincingly onto the TED stage.
