My tumblr has completely stopped working, that’s why I’m so inactive. I can’t read any of my notifications. Due to this(and other reasons), I’ve moved over to Instagram. I’m twilia_art there! So if you have an Instagram, and you’ve messaged me for a request or just to get in touch, you can message me on there and I’ll try to reply. You can also find me on YouTube, as you probably already know! There, I’m Twilia’s Art.

You know James West and Artemus Gordon were real people? At least, from what I’ve found doing very light research. The real Artemus Gordon, I found writing a fan-fiction years ago. From what I understand, he was a confederate soldier who died in the war between the states. Not quite the Artemus Gordon we know! James West... Or rather, James Edward West, was a lawyer and an advocate for children’s rights, born in 1876. Funny thing about the real James West(not the Robert Conrad character), he was portrayed by another classic western star in the mid 1950′s, Jack Kelly.

Let's Dance On

This... was the most fun video to make. I’m so happy with the way it turned out, even if I wasn’t able to fit in all the actors I wanted to(Ross Martin and Robert Taylor...) Want to know what my inspiration was? This absolutely amazing video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWy341dL_ac If you have the time, why not watch both? And maybe if I’m inspired, I’ll do another one and be able to fit ALL of my favorite actors and actresses there!

Top 5 surprisingly emotional episodes of ‘Maverick’

Maverick was basically a comedy-western. When it first aired, adults called it “a western with a dark sense of humor”, and for a reason. It did have a dark humor about it, but it wasn’t always funny. I’ve seen three season so far(like most people, but for a different reason), and there are some episodes that stand out with a “wow”. Warning! Spoilers ahead! Here are the most emotional episodes of the funny, light-hearted western starring Jim Garner and Jack Kelly: 1. Trail West to Fury: This is the backstory episode. Season 1, episode 21, it shows Bret and Bart, with their friend, Dandy Jim, stuck in a flood. Out of boredom, Dandy Jim gets them to tell the story of how they were kicked out of their home state, Texas. In the flash-back, they had just returned from the war(which was naturally rough on both of them), but then they’re refused even starting life anew on the Maverick Ranch. It doesn’t seem all that traumatic, but when you think about it, Bret and Bart would have really tried to become normal, hard-working men if they hadn’t been banned from the state. Instead, they turned to the only other thing they knew: Drifting and gambling.

2. Diamond in the Rough: The only thing that makes this episode worth mentioning is Jack Kelly’s acting. It’s really just another normal episode, but at the end give a surprising little emotional kick. Bart, in the episode, became good friends with a French countess, whom he nicknamed Hank(cute, right?) She had asked him to marry her, but being a Maverick, he pulled a Pappy quote: “Hank, when I left home, my Pappy make me promise me never to marry until I turned 39.” At the end, after all had been won, Bart suddenly realizes that he had made a mistake, and he rushes to Hank’s room to tell her that he was ready to settle down with her... Only to find out she was getting married, ironically, to a wealthy man from Texas. His face of disappointment, and the sad way he congratulates the two... Good job, Kelly.

3. High Card Hangs: Another Kelly episode, this one focuses in on Bart and long-time-frienemy, Dandy Jim Buckley, who decide to give mining a try. They fail, of course, only knowing a darn thing about gambling and playing cards. But when a man shows up at the mining camp and is later murdered, the camp suspects Bart, and two others. For once, Dandy Jim shows a true love for the Mavericks, and does all he can to save Bart from hanging. This episode also deals with a bit of heavy American Indian racism, and how Bart, even though the Indian Woman tried to have him killed, had mercy on her and got the camp to give her a fair trial, stating, “It was her people’s land, first.”

4. Prey of the Cat/Rage for Vengeance: I lied. This is a list of four because the last two episode are too much to put one above the other. Both of these episodes left me with a wide mouth. Rage for Vengeance starts off showing Bret seemingly running from a sheriff. He give up, as the viewers find out his leg had been badly injured(and don’t get me started on that sad face). The sheriff catches him, and the Bret commences to telling his long story of woe: He had been hired to protect a woman traveling to start a business, meanwhile, he feel deeply in love with her(and a real love. Not just that sappy, filler romance these old shows did all the time). When she gets to the town to start to business, Bret finds out the money she had to get started was fake, and somebody wanted her killed... In a tragic turn of events, that somebody is successful, and causes her to ride off a cliff in her buggy. Bret finds out and is determined to get revenge. Let’s just say he does. The episode closes with the sheriff decided to let him go, which all seems well and good, until you remember the horrible crash Bret’s loved one was in(and how they actually showed the gruesome remains), and the fact that his leg was badly enough wounded that he couldn’t ride any longer. The sheriff leaves him, and, I mean, we know Bret makes it out okay, because he’s in episodes later, but as a stand-alone episode, we wouldn’t know. It ends with him riding away, and for all we know, had this been in season 3, that was why Bret wasn’t in season 4 and 5. Had it been his last episode(and what a last episode it would have been), we could assume he died on the trail from a bad leg wound, and his brother Bart likely never even knew about it.

Prey of the Cat starts out on a cold December night, just weeks before Christmas. Bart’s all alone, until he finds shelter in a town’s General Store. Later in the night, he goes back out to continue on his travels, only to have his horse scared by a wild cat. It throws him and cases him to break his leg, and when he wakes up, he’s in the care of the only man who was nice to him in town. The man, a rancher, and his wife. Not only is Bart bed-ridden and away from family at Christmas, but not long after, the kind rancher is killed in an accident, out hunting for the wild cat that scared Bart’s horse. Turns out, the rancher’s wife had shot him because she thought Bart was in love with her. It turns into a mad love story, of a woman driving herself insane by her own suspicions, when Bart doesn’t even love her. Nearing the end, the town finds the rancher’s wife dead, and, thinking it was Bart, decide they’re gonna lynch him(again. Bart’s good at almost getting lynched... and getting hit on the head). In the end, the town find’s out it wasn’t Bart who killed the rancher’s wife, but rather, the young Mexican girl who had been in love with the rancher the entire time. And the episode closes with Bart riding out of town with the lynch rope around his neck, never once looking back. The whole episode had a very eerie feeling.

Bonanza being the worst show ever

You know that feeling when your favorite show is also kind of your least favorite show? There's a lot to love about Bonanza. The characters, actors, scenery,...

Okay, but I also kind of love all of these moments.
