Visual Accoutrements and Accessories

This is stuff around the show, but not the show itself. If you're a Reddit nerd, this is what you're looking for. If you're a Tumblr geek, let me escort you back to your natural habitat.

Is this cool? Yes. I'll link to it elsewhere if it spawns some ideas for me. But some of it I can't interact with, 'cause of my fully self-imposed "No spoilers on what the actors are like" rule. I learned that with Maroon 5. It was one of my favourite bands through elementary and high school, and I made it all the way through university without ever knowing what the main guy looked like - until The fucking Voice aired and I couldn't get away from the commercials. Why'd I avoid it? I wasn't actively trying, but I never know what musicians look like if they're not on their own album art, so that freed me up to picture Daffy Duck. I was having a great time. So I can confirm that eventually learning Adam Levine's face ruined the magic of my Looney Toons crossover and This Love.

So it's the same deal here: as badly curious as I am about whether that's Vincent Walsh's real hair, I do not want to spoil the fun of guessing by having a bonus feature show me what he looked like out of costume. It's too hilarious that I can't make up my mind, and the only way I'm willing to hear the answer now is if the guy himself emails me saying, "Yeah, that was actually my hair. (or was it? why would they pay for a wig? that was obviously lochlann o'mearain's hair, so why not hire another guy with long hair? but the actress for maeve almost definitely had a wig, so obviously they were riding the wig train, so WHICH IS IT)"

Anyway! Here's the stuff the folks on /r/MysticKnights were so incredible at finding. :D

Awesome article interviewing one of the original writers for the show. :D He talks about some the early plans they had for season two, and most importantly reveals that there'd only been an order for fifteen episodes. I've got thoughts on that, so I'll put them together eventually.

Kitty's the best. I don't know how she finds this stuff. She says she's really good at searching for it online, but she has yet to teach me her magical ways. :P

She also explains it best on the subreddit, but the tl;dr is that this is a link to a Google Drive with a series of interviews, and episode 245 was with Robert Hughes (the show's producer), and 288 was with Lochlann O'Mearain (the man, the myth, the potato butcherer).

Now someday, when I have more time, I'm gonna listen to the one with Robert Hughes, 'cause this sounds interesting as all hell.

As for the one with Lochlann O'Mearain? Nope. Tell me if it's got anything good, and if someone wants to write me a transcript, I'll read it, but this is Daffy-Duck-as-Adam-Levine territory.

I've got both downloaded, though, as a back-up. :3

I feel like everyone's pretty much seen this, since it comes with the Mystic Knights Restoration Project file and it's on YouTube, but Kitty posted it to the sub, so I'm happy to give her a shout-out for that too. :D

Everyone except me, 'cause it's another Daffy-Duck-Do-Not-Cross line. >:(

Anyway, I think it's just a twenty-three minute featurette of how they made the show. It apparently aired just before the show itself started! Which - like, dick move, FoxKids, ruining the magic right out of the gate. But it's definitely something you'd wanna put on a home release DVD - if they HAD ONE.

Another Daffy Duck line, but HOLY SHIT, I have no idea how Kitty found this at all! According to her post, this was separate from the behind-the-scenes featurette, and it wasn't originally supposed to be public! The uploader on YouTube says the show's under Disney, btw, so who knows? Maybe it is! Anyway - this has more interviews with the cast. :D Super cool! I would assume! You tell me!
