So was out at the harbor and ran into these two ships next door to each other.
And laughed for about ten minutes.
Sometimes Sylum is everywhere.

Sylum Information: Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman was a phenomenal hit in 2017 – if you haven’t seen the movie – go now and see it!
Wonder Woman has been icon for over 75 years showing up in the first comics in 1941. She has been an inspiration for many girls and woman through out the years. And it’s great to see the new incarnation just as bold and inspiring.
The history behind the character is very fascinating and there is now a movie about the creator, his wife and girlfriend … yep you read that right. I haven’t seen the movie, but from what I have heard it’s worth a viewing (it’s on my very long list to see once hits Netflix).

William Marston – Wonder Woman creator
Professor Marston and the Wonder Women
Sylum Information: The Secret Service
We had always contemplated bring in Ron Butterfield from West Wing, but at first couldn’t quite figure exactly how. Then it hit us, to actually take him back to the beginning of the Secret Service.
Okay history time. As I’ve been doing a lot of research into the Secret Service, this ended up playing directly into Ron’s history.
The Secret Service didn’t exist July 1865 after Lincoln was Assassinated, it was realized that there needed to be a group of people who were dedicating in protecting the President. Before hand there was the Pinkerton Agency that conducted investigations.
In the history of the Department, they has never been enough money, staff or resources. It’s almost been seen as ‘oh yes them we forgot about them’. The Secret Service is supposed to be non-partisan and do their job despite the politics. There are infamous stories relating back to some of the things they’ve seen and done.
So it worked for Sylum to move Ron back to the days before the Secret Service, and into the makings of what the Secret Service has become today.

Sylum Information: Night at the Museum
Night at the Museum is actually a fun movie. Plus it has the benefit of having Pierefrancesco Favino in it.
We’ve actually used a few characters from this movie: Ahkmenrah and Larry Daley. Plus used the images for historical characters: Sacagawea and Teddy Roosevelt.
We’re not having the ability to ‘bring the museum to life’ but we will say the Tablet of Ahkmenrah is very important in the Sylum Universe, and there is a reason Imhotep and Blackwood want it.
If you haven’t seen the movie, I suggest you do.
Information on the American Museum of Natural History
Added bonus! One of my Afternoon Fics: Museum of Interest was a fusion of Night at the Museum and Person of Interest.
Sylum Information: Assassins Creed Movie
As Monday Sylum Inspiration was Callum Lynch I figured to post about the Assassin Creed Movie. Okay first off, we changed a lot around to have the two characters fit within Sylum, mainly by making Callum and Aguilar as twins instead of ancestor/descendant.
Also we don’t have the Animus … yet *cackles*
Now for the movie itself.
As a fan of the games – the movie is shoehorned into their timeline to the point parts of it didn’t work. Michael Fassbender did a great job as Aguilar and Callum and Jeremy Irons is always great.
I will admit I wasn’t a fan of Maria or Sofia … but that was me.
Now if you don’t know the games, the movie is a lot of fun – it has its cheesy moments and lines, but overall it was okay.
For those who have seen the movie or the video (7 Characters 7 Weeks). You know the famous ‘leap of faith’ off the church building??
That was a real stuntman – it’s an awesome moment.
So yes – we do have Aguilar and Callum, but there not quite like the way you think they are.
*evil cackle*
Random Post: Sloths
Sloths have been mentioned before in Sylum.
Actually Sloths play a very big role in Sanctuary Clan. The Clan runs a Sloth Sanctuary, which was started by Stephen, along with helping take care of the local rain forest and other exotic animals.
But Sloths themselves are very special and an intricate part of Sanctuary. I mean just about everyone knows Jack Harkness usually has a Sloth attached to him at all times, much to Spike’s dismay.
So why am I bring this up now?
For two reasons, okay three.
One: Sloths are adorable!! Look at that face!!
Two: We’ve shown Harkness takes care of the adult Sloths at Sanctuary, we’ll be showcasing soon, who takes care of the tiny little ones … wrapping them in his Cashmere Scarves.
Three: Scottish Exotic Animal Veterinarian
That’s all I’m saying about that ….
Sunday Information: Dark Tower Series
As the themes for the Calendar and Inspiration will change each month, Sunday’s post will be a reflection of the previous Monday Inspiration.
So since Roland Deschain was Sylum Inspiration on Monday, today we’ll be showcasing The Dark Tower.
The Dark Tower Series is written by Stephen King … okay I’m not a big fan of Stephen King, but I do have these books downloaded into my kindle. When I have more free time *hahahahaha* I’ll start reading them.
The movie from what I know is not based off the series, but is supposed to take place after them, I haven’t actually seen the movie yet … but the character looked interesting enough to play in Sylum.

The Eve of New Years Eve Bunny Extravaganza
Advent is usually very quiet, working on other projects, setting up ideas, events … etc for Sylum for the upcoming year.
There has been epic plotting sessions from time to time.
The Christmas/Boxing Day Bunny of 2015 was Epic enough that it changed where Sylum was going – instead of an ending we had the End of the Beginning.
This year’s Christmas was fairly quiet. To the point we made the mistake of saying – ‘so what no major plotting session from Bob’
Big Mistake.
The eve before New Years Eve, there was a knock on the door and a box filled with bunnies.
It was an all day plotting EVENT! No seriously starting at 9am, during coffee that lasted all the way into the night. Maybe a stop for food and bathroom breaks, though I think a few bunnies snuck under the bathroom door.
It’s good plots.
Good stories.
Great characters.
Though SERIOUSLY!!
*stares at Bob and Bob 2 – who only smirk and run around on the couch*
Like I don’t have enough stuff to do!!
So to be the evil tease that I am … a few things that came from it.
Development of Heather’s networks of Pleasure Houses: Additional Madams and one Master – in LA, DC, and London.
Junctions and Characters that bring together other storylines, that kind were hanging off the edge.
2 very interesting Triad pairings *cackles*
So what does a Scottish Exotic Animal Veterinarian, MI:6 Spy, American Cowboy, Revolutionary, Historian, and a Intergalactic Passport Control have in common…
Well you’ll just have to wait and see.
6 Characters … wait 7 Characters in 7 Weeks
So remember the 6 Characters in 6 Weeks?
Yeah it was actually 7 … but this asshole wasn’t supposed to arrive this early.
*sigh*
*eyeroll*
He’s known as The Counselor
For those paying attention this was the Bob how dare you a week before Advent Ranting!
