UNDERWORLD - gender!swap edition
So, I've pretty much been in RP!nostalgia mode all weekend. When it comes to roleplaying games, few can hold a candle (in my opinion, anyway) to a series of games I played in, based on the Underworld movie franchise. I wrote with some pretty incredible people, developed a few lasting friendships, and created a set of characters that are as deeply personal to me now as they were eight years ago.
I've been seeing that gender-swap meme going around on Tumblr lately. The basic premise is to take the characters from your favourite movies and TV shows and "swap" their gender; that is, male characters become female and vice versa, using an actor of the corresponding gender.
Of course, I could not resist trying it out on the lotr_underworld/Dark Underworld cast.
(This is what I do when I don't have cable and can't watch the Academy Awards.)
Paul Bettany // Cate Blanchett/The White Lady
"Let them hate me, so long as they fear me."
James McAvoy // Liv Tyler/The Darkened Rose
"The world may refuse us, but we accept ourselves."
Juliet Landau // Crispin Glover/The Monster of Spain
"I do so love it when you're merciless like that, darling."
Elizabeth Banks // Dominic Monaghan
"Bastard prevented me from my margarita...and he got blood on my pants."
Jennifer Connelly // Eric Bana/The Shadow
"Even if wishes were horses, we'd still be denied."
Jennifer Morrison // Ethan Hawke
"Let's adopt code names. Juanita and Ramone. I'll be Juanita."
Lena Headey // Ewan McGregor/Lothario Rowe
"You know where my loyalties lie."
Ryan Gosling // Hannah/The Morningchilde
"Three is an unbeatable team."
Matt Bomer // Rose McGowan
"I can be a fast learner."
Cristina Scabbia // Johnny Depp
"This is the new world. Consider it a new world order."
