Gary Leonard Oldman

I don't think there's a single bit of info about him that I'm not already adoring. I especially love the fact that he was an Elvis tribute act ( this is one series I haven't actually watched at all but I probably should ). I'm usually really bitter toward anyone performing Elvis songs / dressing as Elvis etc because.. well, I have no idea, aha! There's no reason for the bitterness, I think it's just that I'm the same way with Guns N Roses, too. Other bands not so much, but if anyone else performs their songs / impersonates them, I generally look the other way :') I fully appreciate the adoration it shows but for some reason I always hate it, which is kind of interesting. Ugh, I'm so jazzed by this character, though! I think Ro is perfect for Col given the drabbles you've posted up on tumblr over the last few days especially. I love that Cage is also a part of the circle and was the only one allowed to keep bunking at their place! that's so him.. he seems to have much more respect in general I think. And, last but not least, I love the songs that he connects to certain people; there's not one of those I don't love listening to

Ronan's been sitting here chattering away so I had to create a post for him. :-D Side note, ages and ages ago I almost created a Sirus Black account with a long haired Jonathan as the FC. Never did get around to it but I know when I picture a young Sirius I often think of him. No idea why.




Full Name: Ronan Daithí Devine

DOB: May 1

Star sign: Taurus sun II Libra Moon II Leo Rising

Parents: Lydia Keene-Devine & Conor Devine

Siblings : Ian James Devine ( younger by a year )

Occupation: He's had many odd jobs over the course of his life. The first being a rare book buyer for a collector out of new york. The second as an Elvis tribute artist ( please kindly don't call him an impersonator ) and the third as the owner of a small second hand music shop that allows him to be the front man for a band that plays a hodge podge of music at various festivals and the occasional job at the Cross Keys pub on the weekend.

Herb: Passionflower

Myers Brigg: INFP

Favorite song (s) - He doesn't really have a favorite artist/song. Only songs that remind him of his favorite people.

Van Morrison's Moondance and Tupelo Honey will always remind him of his Colly. Let It Be is the song his mother used as a lullaby when he was a child.
 Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World and Morrison's These Are The Days will always remind of his son Lorcan. Here Comes The Sun will always remind him of his wife's best friend Helene. Hound Dog is an instant thought of his brother Ian and Queen's We Will Rock You is Helene's husband Joey to a tee in Ronan's mind.

Favorite Scent: A forest after a rainstorm and the scent of the ocean.

Pet: The Devine family has one dog, a mutt found behind the Cross Keys late one night after closing. They dubbed him Magner after Ronan's favorite cider.

Embarrassing moment:

- The night he met Colleen he was so tongue tied he could barely form a coherent sentence. Back then next to no one had heard of Devine Intervention unless they were familiar with the festival circuit so when she mentioned that she had hoped that they would play as well as they had had when she'd seen them the last time he was floored. He finally found his voice and felt so self consciously creepy that Colleen just waved it off and gave him her number anyway along with a comped set of meals for the band and half price drinks.

Tidbits:

- The song This Time was written with Colleen in mind after she and Ronan moved in together.

- At one time before Lorcan was born Ronan's brother, Ian and his band mates Cage and Angus took turns sleeping in the guest room and the couch in the living room because they couldn't afford a proper flat of their own. Colleen had no objections until their weekly shopping bill increased to three times as much as they normally spent thanks to Angus's huge appetite and she came home early to find Ian was 'entertaining' in the master bedroom. After that only the Cage stayed on, quietly keeping to himself and contributing anything he could towards food and the water bill. He still occasionally baby sits for Ro and Col if Helene and Joey are busy though other than that he's content to live he bachelor's life and work his way towards becoming a licensed tattoo artist.

- He proposed to Colleen on the fifth anniversary of the evening that they met. He had asked permission from both Col's mother and the man she considered a second father, Harvey Starling. They were married quite quickly only two months later at the Dublin registrar's office with only their mothers, Joey, Helene, and Harvey Starling in attendance.

- Has a small rose tattooed over his heart as they're Col's favorite flower.

-  One of his favorite dishes is Marmite chicken.

- Was a history major in college.

*more info to be added as soon as Ronan speaks up* :-D

Yay! We've got the same result! I find it both fitting for both of us actually. :-D

We got the same result. You're quite right though...it's odd. Very odd.

Aha! We've got the same result! :-D I almost want to know Luci's haircare regime, I mean serving the Dark Lord and acting as head of one of the most influential Pureblood houses must cut into upkeep of those locks.
