Tuesday DE: By degrees

[bjornwilde]

I'm hoping we've all heard of the Degrees of Separation game, made famous by the Kevin Bacon variant? Assuming you the mun do not count as a connection, how many degrees of separation are your pups from each other? PB use can count for this.

Bonus round, how about other mun's pups?

Fun!

Well, Barry and Cisco are canonmates, so easy there and anyone linked to either one is one degree to the other.

Barry was part of the mission to save Emcee and his friends which was led by Logan.

Matt has sparred with X23 and she's Logan's sister (and also mentioned him), so there's that one.

Bill is almost trickier since he's been gone so long, but he knows Kate, and Kate has met Cassian and Cassian is friends with Barry and Cisco, and amicable with Logan and Matt.

Laa! Anyone wanna throw a random pup at one of mine I'll play connect the dots with 'em. :D

Viv is teammates with Kamala Khan, and Kamala and Logan teamed up in, like, her second story arc.

This makes me wonder who is the real Kevin Bacon of the Marvel universe, Spider-man, Ben Grimm, or Logan.

[bjornwilde]

Oh, and Sabine's voice actress played a demon in "The Good Place", so we have a connection with your All-Skate Michael!

[strongerthanyouknow]

Sara --> Barry & Cisco (canon)

Jean --> Logan (canon)
Jean --> Logan --> Barry --> Cisco

Jean --> Laura/X-23 --> Matt

[from_the_outside]

Sharon Carter and Zinda Blake are a single degree away from each other, and that degree is named "Bucky Barnes."

[strongerthanyouknow]

Jo Havelle --> Like everyone she's bartended for on yours (including Jack and soooo many others).

Lady Marian --> Caspian X
Steve McGarrett --> Danny Williams

Sara Lance --> Dinah Lance --> Zinda Blake
(Someday ssssooooon, one step, too! Because must happen.)



(Also, I feel like this will work forever:

Sara Lance, Audrey Parker, & Jo Harvelle via Tequilla Tuesday's by 1 degree to Emma Swan & Wynonna Earp [also forever 2 degrees from Steve McGarrett & Snow White/Mary Margaret for those first 3 due to Emma, too; and then 3 degrees from Danny Williams through that line, too].)

[from_the_outside]

Yes!

And comics!Sharon is only one degree from Jean via Steve Rogers.

[heartofthedream]

Yeeess. T r u t h.

[bjornwilde]

Comics-wise, Jessica and Sharon are direct connections thanks to the Daughters of Liberty.

[from_the_outside]

Yes!!! Oh man, I need to get my hands on those issues.

[snarky_spider]

I want them to get their own run, as a miniseries if not an actual series.

[bjornwilde]

Sabine and Ahsoka don't even need a degree as they ride off into the sunset at the end of "Rebels".

Jess is an Avenger and has teamed up with Miles during the comics Spider-verse cross-over, so she and Viv are one degree separated.

Tybalt is a fun one. His author has written Ghost-Spider, aka Spider-Gwen, so there's the connection to Jessica, and she's written a Star Wars story in Canto Bight via her Mira Grant pseudonym, so vague connection to Ahsoka and Sabine though not a direct one.

~Outside in the world~

Jean as a comic is not related to any of my main four exactly. || B U T if I count her PB in the X-Men Movies (Famke Jensen), she's connected to Anna Paquin (who plays Rogue in X-Men movies [which then influenced her comics background/etc] & Sookie in True Blood), where Lucy Griffiths, PB for Marian also starred in TB (as Nora).

Marian's PB (/Actress Lucy Griffiths, as Liv) appears in Constantine, who appears in Legends of Tomorrow, which is Sara's show. || Which one step out further, connects Sara --> Constantine --> Lucy Griffiths (/Marian PB as Liv, then as Nora) --> Anna Paquin --> Jean('s Movie PB).

Inside of Milliways, there's, also,

Jo Harvelle --> Castiel --> Meg Ford --> Edward Cullen
Jo Harvelle --> Emma Swan --> Steve McGarrett (which then could connect her to Jean below with 1 more)

Jean Grey --> Lucifer --> Constantine --> Sara Lance
Jean Grey --> Nori --> Steve McGarrett (which then can connect her to Jo from Steve, with 1 more)

[bjornwilde]

Jessica -> Logan -> Jean at the least, if they didn't hang out during the 80s when Jess was living in San Francisco and the X-men were hanging there as well.

[lupintrois]

Lupin has previously disguised himself as Hitler, which Sgt. Carter has also done, so they're one degree and that degree is Hitler. Good job.

A bit harder for Razor, unless you count that he knows a lot of people who uses swords. Tatsu is connected because both he and Lupin have friends who've worked with the yakuza in the past.

JAZZ HANDS

[strongerthanyouknow]

Sara Lance --> Justice Society of America --> Hitler --> Lupin & Sgt. Carter

Jean Grey --> Cap. America --> Hitler --> Lupin & Sgt. Carter

... Just realized that the closest connection my pups have is between Wei Wuxian and Klaus Hargreeves and Klaus is over there cackling and WWX is like 'omg did not want to know that about my baba please give me all the wine and go away' so that's how my morning is going.


OTHERWISE basically Jon is the lynchpin between all of them because he collects stories of weird and eventually all of them can hit that weird button hard enough to make it into the archives. Cecil has a whole shelf.

[magic_by_accident]

As characters, none of mine exist in shared universes. (Though I know DC and Marvel sometimes have crossover events, I don't know if Constantine or Vision have been part of them.)

Paul Bettany and Benedict Cumberbatch are both in the MCU. I don't know off the top of my head if they've been in any other projects together -- wouldn't surprise me, though, the film industry in the UK seems teeny -- however, not teeny enough for me to know much of Matt Ryan's CV outside of Constantine. (Though... Matt Ryan was in a movie with Keira Knightley who was in the Alan Turing biopic with Benedict Cumberbatch. So there's that.)

(My trivia brain is shot, y'all.)

Then there's Mabel and Dipper. All I can think of is that Ford Pines was voiced by J. K. Simmons, who played J. Jonah Jamison in the Toby Maguire Spiderman series. So he's sort of in the MCU? Or at least one of those pesky branching realities :).

I think there were other celebrity guest voices on Gravity Falls? But all I can think of at the moment is Cecil Baldwin. As weird as Gravity Falls is, I don't think it exists in the same universe as Welcome to Night Vale.

Bonus:
Vision is canon mates with Bucky, Sharon, Viv Vision, et al.
Constantine is canon mates with Barry, Cisco, Sara Lance, and the rest of the CW/DC'verse.

[canttrickmeanymore]

you know - i was going to say 'omg so many' - but it's WAY less than i thought -

Harry Dresden -> Odin -> Thor -> Peter Parker (a little hand-wavy on Peter knowing Thor, but Endgame counts, and even if not, slap Tony in between Thor and Peter and it still works)

this kinda hurt my brain

[princeinexile]

Zuko -> Seimei -> Lan Zhan

Zenigata -> Wei Ying -> Lan Zhan
Zenigata -> Hitler -> Sharon, Captain America, like honestly a huge chunk of the marvel characters here
Zenigata -> Sherlock Holmes -> BBC Variant of Sherlock Holmes

Vex -> Shakespeare -> literally 90% of western european literature
