Btw I’m very new to your blog, could I get a brief intro to your OCs (and their nationalities if they have any 👀)? Just want to keep up with the story BJHB

Oh my goood anon, I love youuu.

However I sadly have like. Over 200 named characters in one and the same universe so it can be quite tricky to give an introduction to them.

I explain the worldbuilding here, though! And within that context also briefly talk about the Irish, the English, the Sicilians.

As I say in the linked ask, I am currently working on the rewrite of the first two main stories, but here's a blurb I've made for the rewrite of story 1, Irish Problems:

Hetalia Human AU/Organized Crime AU. Almost every Hetalia Character is the biggest shark in their nation’s organized crime shark tank & usually supported by two right hands. The story centers on HWS Ireland and HWS Sicily (both OCs of mine).

Two islands, two requests, one weekend: Harry O’Connel is down on his financial luck in Dublin. Michele Vento is looking for partners to pull him out of his isolationist political situation in Sicily. One weekend in Palermo to decide if one hand can’t wash the other. The Irish have the connections Michele wants and the Sicilians have the money Harry needs, but either party had reckoned without an old enemy of theirs. Arthur Kirkland has had his eyes set on Ireland for a long time and the last thing he needs is a quarrelling Sicilian in his neighbourhood. A routine first meeting suddenly turns into a matter of life and death. Will Harry, Michele and their friends work together to save each other or has everything fallen apart and into Arthur’s hands before it even began?

You can also have a link to a beta document of the office scenes, which are the introduction scenes for the English and Sicilian office. (The Irish get introduced in a prior one, but dw, I also listed the context needed for their office scene): The link (You can ignore the feedback questions, bc I do have a lovely beta now, the fantastic @someone-you-do-not-know )

I absolutely SUCK at Intros, not least of all bc yes I could give you an intro for the main Alternate Universe, but I also put these mfers into a lot of other Alternate Universes, so it is hard to sum them up without it feeling like a character existing in a vacuum. But if you wish to see all the forbidden other AUs, you can find them over at @i-centri-degli-universi . If you just want in general to browse my OC blabber more pointedly, you can look for the tag "storie nostre" on my blog. If you are on mobile, just search my blog on it and click the tag on the first post that has it, that way you can ACTUALLY see all the posts I made with it :)

But I can give you a few nationalities and infos for like. A few fuckers that pop up a lot on here:

Harry O'Connel, Sophie O'Connel (Soph is my Northern Ireland OC and Harry's younger sister) and Charlie Higgins, Harry's best friend, are all from Dublin, while Paddy O'Neill is from Derry, which he left at 24. You might also recently have seen me talk a LOT about Aaron, Angus and Kilian recently here bc of my Rake Courtship AU. Aaron O'Connel is Harry's and Soph's father (who died in the main AU timeline in 2009), while Kilian MacLeod and Angus O'Mallry are friends from Paddy's youth in Derry, his best friends. He burnt all bridges with his past in the main AU though and Kilian died in 2005 (iirc) in a car crash ...

We also have Michele Vento and Marco & Lorenzo Bontade, the latter who ran away at 12 from their hometown Bagheria to the nearby Palermo, where Michele is from. He took the twin boys under his wings and they refer to each other as brothers.

Then we have Robert Bailey and Tahir Rashid, two Londoners who are the ruthlessly efficient and yet always bickering right hands to Arthur Kirkland.

If you ever wanna know more about a certain OC, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just ask, I swear I don't bite :)

#i lied. fingers fingers fingers fingers #anon #beareplies #storie nostre #ANON I LOVE YOUUUUU I wish I could condense the past 10 years of my insanity easily for you <3 #hetalia oc #hetalia au #fanfiction oc

Top Ten Books/Series I forgot existed

So this has been sitting in my drafts for like a month or two and I just got an ask that made me want to actually post it. I think I made this simply because I was bored, couldn’t sleep, and enjoy making lists, so I decided to make a top ten list featuring books/series that I totally forgot about because…they’re just forgettable, no two ways about it. Because let’s be real here: there are great Choices books, there are terrible Choices books, and there are Choices books that are like…hey…hi…I’m just kinda here.

10. Shipwrecked. PLEASE do not quote me on this, but I *think* it released sometime this past year. Honestly most of the reason this book suffered was due to the lack of interesting characters, or characters in general because off the top of my head all I can remember are the MC, the LI, Dr. Hale, and the LI’s old business partner but I can’t even remember their name at this point. Hell, I can’t even remember much of the plot, and even after playing a chapter I remember forgetting almost everything about it pretty much immediately.

9. Wishful Thinking. I actually quite liked this book. It was lighthearted and pretty fun during a time where we needed some lightheartedness to balance out the more intense/angsty book releases. But unfortunately, the plot itself was kinda meh, and since it was a standalone, there was no real reason to remember it. Even worse, this book began the unfortunate trend of reusing background characters as MC’s “close friends”.

8. Foreign Affairs. Remember when FA was announced and, the dumbasses that we were, we were all convinced it would save the fandom from the book drought? Yeah…it feels like such a distant memory now. The book seemed really, really promising. And it could have been. But holy hell, it was executed so poorly and the premise of the plot was so flimsy. What I once thought would be a great book is now one of the ones I just squint at when I remember it even exists.

7. A Very Scandalous Proposal. I’ve talked about this one a little bit before. The main appeal of AVSP was Simon/Ava. If you didn’t like them? Tough shit, buddy. The main goal of the book was to uncover the secrets of the Montjoy family. Unfortunately, PB didn’t give us a reason to care about or find interest in said Montjoy family, which is probably why the book faded from my memory so quick.

6. Passport to Romance. This is kind of a weird one for me. I forget it exists most of the time, but then when I do remember it, I remember how truly terrible it was, while most of the other books on this list aren’t very fresh in my memory. It was so unimpressive, bland, and the characters were tolerable at best and obnoxious at worst (ELLIOT LANGDON).

5. Rising Tides. The book was okay…but it pushed a generic “save the earth” message while forcing us to pay to clean the town. The MC was a sidekick in her own story which would’ve been fine, but Charlie was such an annoying character that it wasn’t even enjoyable. Also, the Big Bads conceded waaaaay too easily at the end. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I forgot about this book in less than a week after the final chapter aired.

4. Witness: A Bodyguard Romance. Believe it or not, despite how awful this book was, I forgot about it pretty quickly. It could’ve been a really cool story, but it focused too heavily on romance when the MC and Cassian’s lives were on the line quite literally at every second. Other than that…I truthfully do not remember much about this book other than the Irish mob.

3. Ms. Match. This book was decent enough and it didn’t stop releasing until that long ago. However, the plot was one of those “fight to reach the top and win the competition” plots which quite frankly have been overdone in Choices for a few years now. Not to mention, there weren’t a lot of interesting characters except for Maggie and maaaaaybe the MC’s dad but that’s pushing it a little. The reason it’s so high on this list is because it didn’t end that long ago, yet I can’t seem to remember a damn thing about the book, other than that I HATED the love interest.

2. Home for the Holidays. Many moons ago, this was considered one of the worst, if not, THE worst, book in Choices. And many moons ago, I agreed. But the horrific mediocrity of this holiday flurry of fuck was outshined by some truly awful stories and simply faded into obscurity.

1. Sunkissed. As I made this list, I scrolled through the series on the app, and while most books on this list elicited an “oh yeah, I kinda remember this” from me, when I saw this one, I was like “holy shit, I completely forgot this book was even a thing”. While Home For the Holidays and Sunkissed are both sort of (for lack of a better word) Hallmark-y, Sunkissed was longer and, in my opinion, a little sloppier. The book just wasn’t sure what it wanted to be. A lighthearted summer beach romance? A tale of a family’s struggles with grief and interpersonal conflict in the wake of a father and husband’s untimely death? Fuck it, we’ll uncomfortably cram BOTH into the main plot, execution be damned!

Rohan Mac Uáid Introduction

Damn Avis, I see what got you interested in this young man 👀

Here’s a basic introduction to Rohan's character! I know I wanted to give him an actual drawing but I lost the motivation to finish it so scrapped it (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) But here I think this is better for his first official post. I’ll be working on his bio along with Avis' own… eventually. You know when I get the motivation to write. But at the moment I got Yuna's redesign to work on and Charlie's Cardverse drawing to finish _(:3 」∠)_ Keep a look out for those!

❌ NO REPOSTING ❌

Rohan Mac Uáid (Nov. 5th) is a pureblood Irish Wizard. He is the third child and youngest son of Eoghan and Nadia Mac Uáid. His older brothers are Jaxon and Tomás, and his younger sister is Elise.

A serious and cunning young man, some people are intimidated around him due to his nobility. His authoritative personality and fierce temper makes it difficult to befriend him. He cares little about status, be it blood or class, and old traditions. He judges people solely based on their achievements, skills, dedication and loyalty more so than intelligence.

Despite his reputation, he treasures his friends and will treat them with generosity. He believes in and cares for each of them, even the ones he doesn't necessarily agree with on a personal level. He's close to Tierney Ní hlorua as they seem to instinctively understand one another. Rohan also treats Giles MacTraynor as a trusted right hand and usually has him keep Avis company if she heads to Hogsmeade. Wren Serpen acts as Rohan's most trusted confidant and the two are usually seen eating honey whiskey cakes frequently. He is also fond of the various arts such as poetry, music, muggle military tactics, and surprisingly sweet pastries. His favorite is the fire whiskey tarts Avis makes.

His mature and serious persona contrasts with Avis’ sweet and gentle one. While he is also a caring lover, his words of caution are not always appreciated by Avis. Even so, he thinks of her dearly and will not hesitate to come to her rescue.

Contrary to his hot-headed and egotistic brothers, Rohan is a patient, collected, and diligent individual. After discovering his family have sided with Rockwood, he initially doubts his role as a Mac Uáid, knowing that he could not be like his father and brothers. Especially when Rockwood needs Avis’ ancient magic for whatever plans he has. To protect his future family, he strives to only take calculated risks and bides his time for when he puts an end to his former family. To completely rid himself of his family’s history, he changes the name Mac Uáid to its anglicized form McQuaid.

Currently still working on my newest Bob's Burgers comic (because Gene deserves love too! Okay, yes, he had Courtney, but still). Here's everything you need to know about my newest OC, AKA random facts no one asked for but I'm giving anyway:

--First off, he's kind of an amalgamation of several old OCs I made but never ended up using.

--Their full name is Alexis Emiliano Franklin-De La Vega. His super long name comes from the fact he's Guatemalan and his adopted parents have two different last names (he was born in Guatemala but then brought to the US and adopted when he was a baby).

--He's Nonbinary AMAB (Assigned Male At Birth) and uses He/They pronouns. He might change it to They/He once they're older, but I'm not entirely sure yet. They're also Androsexual. However, they always tell people they're Gay, because that label is usually easier for people to understand.

--Loves theater, making outfits (thrifting is so important to them), and all things flamboyant. They even have a small hobby of glassblowing, something they particularly love doing when they're stressed. This is why Gene loves them.

--Their favorite color is yellow (that color remind you of anyone? 👀), and their favorite book of all time is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They were so obsessed with it when they were young, they wanted to be Charlie so bad and meet Willy Wonka.

--He was born without a right foot and has a prosthetic so he can still walk. He was also born with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, meaning their joints are pretty loose, and they can't move and run around as fast or as much as other kids.

--They're actually an excellent baker, something they don't often bring up, because he's afraid of being judged for this hobby. However, when he does bake, he bakes the best chocolate chip cookies. They've also tried their hand at making Beignets in the past. This causes Bob to immediately take a liking to Alexis. They consider baking an art form.

--They have Perfect Pitch, something Gene is pretty jealous of, but also greatly admires.

--They're a Night Owl, and can't go to sleep any earlier than midnight. It's kind of a problem when he has school the next day, but on the weekends, he can just sleep in.

--Loves drawing and character designing, and so far has only shown his drawings to Gene, who loves his art. Sometimes, on the cover of the night, he likes to sneak out and paint gorgeous murals in certain places.

--Not great at picking up other languages, but has a knack for picking up specific accents. He can imitate things like an Irish or Cockney accent so perfectly it's almost scary. This serves him well in theater.

--In secret, he also loves watching Stand-Up Comedians (like John Mulaney or Ali Wong) and thinks they're great. He also loves watching sitcoms, even if the writing is terrible. He just loves anything that can make him laugh.

--Their adopted parents aren't supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, so once he realizes he has a crush on Gene, he has to keep it a secret from them. Their parents also don't know they're Non-Binary.

--Loves collecting vintage vinyl records, especially of things from the Jazz or Blues Age. They just love studying certain things related to vintage times, such as music, but also the fashion people had in the past.

--Has a crippling fear of heights because of an incident when he was young. He was at a state fair with his parents, and they got on the Ferris Wheel. It got stuck, and they had to stay there for hours until it started working again.

--Is a Vegetarian and has a low spice tolerance.

--Has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor which can put most people off, but Gene loves it. He says Alexis' sense of humor/general demeanor reminds him of Louise.

--Carries a stone in his pocket for good luck, especially before a theater performance, a habit he picked up from his adopted grandmother. He swears it's actually helped him in the past.

--Eventually bonds with Bob not only for their shared hobby of cooking/baking but also for loving rock and roll. Their general love for music and theater allows them to eventually bond with Linda.

--Has a job at Jimmy Pesto's (doesn't let Bob know because they know he would freak out), but hates working there. Also, their working there isn't exactly legal because of how young he is (their parents know Jimmy Pesto, so that's why he got hired in the first place). They only work there to earn some money, which his family definitely needs. They burned their hand working there once, and he doesn't even cook or go into the kitchen that often. It left a permanent scar on his hand.

--Wears black, rectangular glasses and is nearsighted and has an astigmatism.

--Enjoys Science Fiction, ET being one of his favorite movies (mainly because of how amazing the design of the puppet for ET is), but thinks the concept of aliens is pretty unnerving.

Finally, here's a little drawing of them, a sneak peek from a panel of the comic:

#bobs burgers #bobs burgers oc #i thought it would be fun if he had a random job at jimmy pesto's #and gossips about jimmy pesto with jimmy jr on occasion #but jimmy jr likes to say only he gets to make fun of his dad #their interests are mostly anything creative and gene ❤️

2022 Christmas Ads

What the Super Bowl is for U.S. commercials, Christmas is for most of the rest of the world, particularly Britain, where holiday ad campaigns are so highly anticipated they have teasers and drop date announcements.

These mini-movies provide the perfect bite-size dose of holiday joy, as much or more than so than selling a product. Clever, often tear-jerking sales pitches, sure, but also so much more.

It’s long been an annual part of our seasonal viewing to rewatch favorite ads from year’s past, as well as explore the new batch. To make that a little easier for my family, and yours, I’ll do my best to compile the best holiday adverts here, just as I did in 2020, and 2021, too.

Unlike my TV and theatrical listings, not trying to catalog every single Christmas commercial out there, just the ones I feel are worth a watch, for a little bonus dose of the festive feels.

Old Navy “Gifting” - Jennifer Coolidge stars in a fun series of ads for the retailer.

Character Coffees

Another author friend of mine said for character building she always figures out everyone's go-to coffee drinks/morning beverages. So I thought I'd give it a try! I am doing their regular orders from The Java Tavern, though... just for extra fun. :)

I have the characters listed in order from Main Character all the way down to antagonists that make more than one appearance. No spoilers given away for storyline because these are strictly in reference to their characters!

Eliza Woods- Drip coffee. Sometimes she adds a little sugar and creamer depending on the time of day. Her first cup of the day is always black, though.

Bartholomew “Barry” Digby – A strong black tea with two lumps of sugar. If he was still alive, that is. Scones or biscuits.

Khai Enache – Double shot Americano, two pumps Hazelnut, one pump Amaretto, and creamer. With cookies. Any kind of cookies that don’t have dried fruit in them. Khai hates dried fruit in pastries.

Chad Miller – Caramel Latte, typically iced. Rarely hot. And 2, or maybe 3 of whatever pastries look the most appetizing that day.

Phoebe Kirkpatrick – Iced Chai Latte. No matter the weather or time of year. She always tries the new pastry of the day, especially if it’s a new creation that her BFF, Eliza, created. If she’s on the run she’ll pop in for a Baby Muffin and her ice latte.

Charles “Charlie” Hardy – Black drip coffee because it’s free when he’s in uniform, and he’s always in uniform. Sometimes he’ll order half a dozen chocolate chip cookies (to go) with his free coffee. If he’s drinking his coffee in house he’ll grab a piece of pie.

Lexi – Two shots of espresso straight up or she’ll pour them over steamed oat milk with two pumps of caramel, two pumps pumpkin syrups. Seasonally, of course. Lexi likes to follow the flavor trends of the year. Pumpkin, Irish cream, peppermint mocha, you name it. She’ll add those syrups accordingly.

Gregor – Iced drip coffee with creamer and whatever fun concoction of syrups he decides for the day. Gregor likes to mix it up and experiment with his basic drip coffee over ice. Consistent but unexpected, just like Gregor himself. He also prefers any flavor pies to anything else Eliza makes just out of personal preference. Secretly, he thinks the baby muffins are disgusting.

Carly – Cappuccino. Carly is more likely to order a hot tea but some mornings she needs a little coffee in her sugary milk to get her going and that’s perfectly fine. Carly adores the mini cheesecake pies, plain, no toppings.

Nellie – Hot drip coffee with two shots of hazelnut syrup and honey. No cream. Nellie loves the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and coffee crumble muffins.

Myles – Earl Grey tea with two shots of lavender syrup, on ice or hot depending on the weather. Scones or toasted English muffin with butter. Apple fritters if they’re fresh.

Tara – Caramel Macchiato, extra cream, extra foam. A baby muffin or another savory pastry. Taco pastries are her favorites so she always goes to The Java Tavern on Tuesdays or has Lexi grab her one before they sell out.

Tiffani “Tiff” Harris – Hot chocolate. Tiff doesn’t need coffee. She’s fueled by hate and chaos. Also, she doesn’t eat carbs. How boring.

Talbot Chandler – Double shot of espresso with steamed milk instead of water, two pumps of amaretto and a packet of sugar. Not too hot, will ask for ice cubes to go in his coffee if it is too hot to consume immediately. Talbot always orders a chocolate crescent to go with his very particular coffee order and is livid if there aren’t any available.

Well, there you have it. Everyone's Java Tavern order. That was kind of fun! I really needed think about some of them. A few of the characters have already established their regular beverages in the books, others I had to create from scratch!

Introduction

My name is Michael McGoldrick. I am a half-Irish and half-Italian American born and raised here in New York, my parents were raised here as well. The main benefit of being half-Irish and half-Italian is that I am entitled to both the Irish and Italian goodbye, which comes in clutch in plenty of situations. The origin of my name is simply because my Mom passed out after giving birth and my Dad rushed to give my name, I'm assuming there was a big football game that day to inspire my Dad's hasty decision. If I could change my name to any fictional character, it would probably have to be Charlie Brown. I basically have the same luck as him, so why doesn't my misfortune and misery entertain people worldwide and give me millions of dollars? I can't say I remember much of high school, despite my inability to get my head out of the past sometimes. However, throughout my time there and school in general, I pretty much lied low and didn't make much of an impact. I guess I was the student almost everybody knew by name, but not by association. I wouldn't even say I was at the bottom of the barrel of the high school social status, I was more likely the guck you'd find sticking under the barrel. With that being said, the last year and a half did pan out for me through the BOCES digital filmmaking program, the best time of my life as this is being currently written. Unfortunately, my time there was cut short thanks to the COVID pandemic, so I never got closure from the program or from high school much, really. My favorite day would probably be any time I had spent in that program, it acted as a safe haven from all the crap I had to go through on a daily basis, and the first and only time I felt like I really thrived socially in a public setting. No candidates really stand out for the worst day at high school, even then, I'd take any time I spent in the classes I hated most like Algebra and Economics over what I've gone through since my time out of high school. But that may just be the self-deluded nostalgia talking. I don't think there's nothing much I would change from my time there, I don't think any personal changes would really have changed my outlook on the place and I only got screwed over because everybody else did with the pandemic turning me and thousands of people into house hermits with even more regressed self-esteem. I am a New Media major and the reason behind that is filmmaking is the only thing to ever grab my attention in my lifetime. Ever since I can remember, I've been in love with film and television, particularly the animation medium has consumed my entire life and is probably my defining interest. Ideally. I want to be a screenwriter for animation in particular. And that is a pretty niche role in the industry, especially for a writer with minimal artistic abilities. Yeah, a guy who can write cartoons but can't really draw them is like a fisherman who knows how to operate a boat but doesn't know how to cast out to sea. Either way, I devoted a lot of time to drawing and I just realized it wasn't for me and I had a much better time doing writing since I was always more into the storytelling aspect anyhow. But regardless, I just want to try to be self-sufficient as possible by acquiring as many skills you can have in a field where thousands can do what you do, some better, some worse, so it evens out. And writing is the one thing I've ever felt good at, and in a world where you have to work more and more just to survive, it's important to do something you love. At the moment, I'm not really involved in any kind of school activities. Most of the stuff I've taken up is on my own, outside of the online indie animated projects I've contributed to whether through freelancing or volunteering. Aside from that, I'm a carny at LegoLand. Which is way better than being stuck behind a cash register. Being a carny is like being in sales but fun and you also learn all the tricks of the carnival games, so it's a win-win. Some interesting hobbies of mine is that

I do some voice acting, auditioning only for projects that really stand out and roles that seem catered to me and for interests, I'm pretty obsessed with the obscurer side of media. I can ramble on and on about the short-lived adult animation that was on MTV in the late 90's and early 2000s -- but my objective is to encourage you to keep reading this. What motivated me to pursue voice acting was being inspired by some of the online talent I collaborated with and as for an interest in obscure media, I often find that content is always up my alley in terms of story direction.

The last movie I watched was Chasing Amy and the last show I watched was Beavis & Butt-Head. I guess those two pieces of content can probably sum what kind of stuff I like. In terms of TV shows, I recommend Downtown, a short-lived and under-appreciated animated gem from the late 90's produced by MTV, it's a dialogue-driven show, typically centered around banter but still uses the medium to its fullest and I think can be very relatable for people in their early twenties. You can find all the episodes free on YouTube since MTV has zero interest in ever acknowledging the show's existence again. There's not a lot of media that I hate. If I see something I don't like, I typically brush it off my shoulder and move on with my life instead of berating those who enjoy something I didn't online. Hard to believe, I know. But I guess I'd have to say that the new Velma show did a good job at getting on my nerves, especially when it mocks the source material and acts that it's the best the franchise can offer -- when it's not. That's Zombie Island. Another recommendation. Currently, all of my projects are in the works. I have a 2-minute animated short film called "The Dream Team: A Team Divided" that I'm co-creating, directing, writing, producing, editing, and voice acting in (Image 1). And there's also Dull Point, which is a 5-minute limited animated pilot I have in the works that I'm co-creating, co-writing, co-directing, co-producing, editing, and voice acting in as well (Image 2). I can't really say too much about these projects since they mean the world to me but telling that I worked nearly 60-hour work weeks to make them happen, should tell you more than enough.

And finally, what would my last meal on Earth be and why? Buffalo wings with a side of french fries, but it is mandatory that they are cajun seasoned because that's the best way to eat them.

How do you pick names for your characters? I love names. I love reading about names. That makes it super hard for me to pick just one *screams, cries*

Ooof, I feel you, friend, I also love names!! If I ever have a child, I'm going to need six weeks alone in a room before sticking them with a name they'll have to use for life (or until they're old enough to tell me it sucks and they want to change it, aagghh).

I have a hard time picturing faces in my mind while reading, so quite often, the appearance (spelling, overall shape etc.) of a character's name sums up their entire being for me lol

I often start off just knowing what first letter I want their name to start with. For example, with Lilith; they originally had a different name but I ended up changing it. I got some suggestions from readers, and one of the reasons I went with Lilith was that I knew their name needed to start with L. Just because.

Other times, I'll actually conceive of the name before the character! I really love and wanted to use the name Kazu, and his character sort of just sprung up out of the name itself.

Shayne, Charlie, and Rin were particularly tricky to name, because at the beginning, they were reimaginings of characters from a completely separate work. I just cycled through different name potentials until I found ones that clicked. (Rin's name actually ended up being quite similar to the character I moulded her from.)

Sometimes aesthetics are important; with Astrophel, I knew xie would have chosen a name that had something to do with stars, so I googled star-related names until I found one that worked. I gave Donnacha his name because he plays rugby and it was the first name of an Irish rugby player that came to mind lmao luckily it fit him really well! Henry, I named because it always gives me those slightly gloomy, dark academia vibes. (Edit: this might have been because I'd recently finished reading Addie La Rue?)

Both Elliott and Felix appeared fully formed in front of my face with their names already established, I have no explanation for how they were named. Sometimes that just happens, too!

I realise that you were possibly hoping for some advice, but all I've done is ramble. Hopefully this helps a little bit, or is at least interesting to read?!

This shit is fake bby!!!

Here she is.. My masterpost of all the dumb, illogical bits of info contained within these s15 “leaks” that make me fairly confident they are complete bullshit. It also includes my little tinhat theories that have absolutely no evidence.

I will be putting it all under a Readmore in case you don't want to risk it or if you simply Do Not Care

First up, I'd like to point out that these call sheets repeatedly give very detailed backstories to characters that have few lines which conveniently paints a picture of each episode's plot. And I'm not an expert so correct me if I'm wrong, but after looking at other similar casting calls, they only ever include the demographic and necessary skills.

Basically who in their right mind would write up casting calls that give away so many spoilers? Seems like that could cause and issue if they were leaked lol. But anyway that's my 1st point. But onto the actual content

So the conceit of this episode as a whole is that during the pandemic, the gang "gamed the system" and received three (3!) Loans to start businesses that went bankrupt. One of these businesses is implied to be the one started by dee and charlie who end up selling to Qanon shaman. Already this is so impossible baby.

1. We've already seen the gang try to get a loan and it didn't work. They don't have good ideas. Ur telling me, they managed to finagle 3 separate loans for 3 separate business ideas from an actual bank?

2. Maybe I just have bad reading comprehension but how does one have a business that is both fictitious and bankrupt?

3. If the customer is supposed to be Qanon shaman, an actual real life guy, why are the only descriptors white and male? They say he's shirtless so are they going to paint on all of the tattoos he has? And if so, doesn't that kind of ruin the dramatic reveal when charlie "throws in" the viking helmet? Why would he do that anyways? Sus.

Moving on

Alright this episode would fucking blow for obvious reasons but im going to refrain from looking at this through my gay dennis thruther lens because im biased.

Purely from a narrative standpoint, a woman hasn't been shown to be interested in dennis in nearly 5 years during the wade boggs episode. Ever since, every single woman he approaches has been actively creeped out by him. And now I'm supposed to believe that 3 "smart, passionate woman" (In Their Twenties!!!!!!) agreed to go on a date with him? And Anna even slept with him! Just because he what? Agreed with her? I'm not buyin it.

Plus the concept of this scenario lacks any potential for comedy. When iasip gets political, they always discuss a very specific topic using hyperbolic situations and flawed metaphors. If this is supposed to be a political episode, what ultimately lukewarm point would rob be trying to make here? So far we know they're ranting about

The patriarchy

Privilege

Socialism

No more personal responsibility(?)

The... nature of power in society(??)

How on earth would an episode like get approved? This shit sounds like a Ted talk. It sounds like it was written specifically to sound like a political episode so boring and pointless it would generate outrage and mile long essay posts from Tumblr users and reddit users alike. Almost like this one lol.

On a completely unrelated note, do not try and convince me that Frank "casual cock ring wearer" Reynolds is unable to perform.

Jeez this is getting out of hand fast. Let's move on

Ok now we're starting to getting into the Ireland of it all. Let me go on a bit of a tangent here about all this.. Now I thinq there are just 3 possibilities. Either this is all a publicity stunt and there is some truth to the Ireland rumors, the entire thing could be bogus from some weirdo fan (ps, if a fan did write this I want you to know I fucking hate you. You did this to me), or it is a publicity stunt but Ireland is just more bullshit.

I am going to assume it was a publicity stunt, otherwise I just wasted my entire evening and I can't have that kind of mentality rn. Additionally, I'm Going to tinhat here for a second and say that the Ireland rumors are true, but the details are different.

I say this because if they were going to do filming in Ireland, they probably figured that that information would be impossible to hide. In essence, my completely unfounded hypothesis is that this leak was their fucked up little way of controlling the situation while simultaneously messing with us.

Ok tangent is over, returning to the casting calls. From the looks of it, dee starts a "scam" acting class and has some very devoted students (Note that Tony was also the name of the porn shop owner. Seems weird!) Presumably after the gang replaces her with a monkey as the title suggests.

Honestly, there isn't too much here that's a red flag to me... seems like a nice little dee-centric episode that is the link to the Dublin angle. Assuming I am At All right, this could be a genuine plotline for Dee. However, the monkey could be a red herring and there could be a whole different side plot with the guys. who's to say. Next one!

Ah yes this is the dennis we all know and despise.. no red flags for me here really, I'm also running out of steam because idk if it shows, but I am majorly sleep deprived atm. Anyway I'm going to the next one

Okay this is where things start getting weird again ough a migraine just hit, anyway back to my earlier point about how casting calls would never contains major spoilers bc the people who see these wont be under any kind of NDA..

These ones reveal that bonnie dies. Again, that info wouldn't be in a casting call.

But also they suggest charlie has a irish penpal named Shelley who is his biological father. First off charlie is illiterate, although as pointed out by @undeadbreeze shelley could also be communicating in symbols. However, this scenario is still unbelievable to me for a couple reasons:

1. Bonnie's last name is Kelly obviously, and we know it's her maiden name because Jack's last name is also Kelly. But Shelley's last name is... also Kelly? In the context of this big ol hoax, it feels like it was written to show that look! his last name is the same as charlie's! That's how you know that's his dad! But It would be way too big of a coincidence if charlie's dad happened to have the same last name bonnie.

And 2. There's the whole mystery of charlie's long-lost sister from 'charlie got molested' but never any mention of a brother which according to this, shelley has been pretending to be his brother for years. And we all know how much rcg loves their continuity, it seems uncharacteristically lazy to just tack this on without any prior buildup.

And finally let me talk about mac for a second and specifically the line in gus's summary "both are gay men who are attracted to the priesthood for all the wrong reasons"

Iasip has commented on pedophilia in the priesthood many times in the past which leads me to believe that they are implying that mac is a pedophile? Please let me know if I completely misread the implications of that statement, but if not, then that is completely insane and one of the biggest indictators that this is fake. Mac is awful, just like everyone in the gang but he is definitely not a pedophile.

However even if i did completely misread that, it's still proof this is fake.. For all his faults, Rob put a surprising amount of care and effort into mac's coming-out. It hasn't been perfect, but Mfhp in particular firmly established that mac's faith is integral to his identity so Its unlikely that rob would throw all of that away for a cheap shot at priests.

Ok my brain is irradiated sludge at this point, but in conclusion. I hope that 1. I'm right, at least about it being fake (Otherwise damb that'll be so humiliating for me) And 2. This eases ur fears a bit. I don't want to lose all faith in future seasons bc I love iasip and miss the gang. If you read this far youre insane but I literally love you so goddamn much because I spent so so long tapping this out on my silly little phone

Please feel free to add on or message me your thoughts and opinions I need to know I'm not the only one who uhhh went a bit insane. And finally: whoever made these is a cunt. Mwah.

#iasip #s15 spoilers #oy vey.....#they could also be written by a reddit fan who is too much of a pussy to just write fanfic but that seems kinda unlikely?#cause 1. itll be disproven so everyone will know u just... wrote weird fanfic #and 2. there are a lot of little details that are so random that even if this is a fan just messing with people.... why put in so much effo #wahtever im pressing post #actually tho what gge fuck is that priest line supposed to imply #i guess for mac it could be talking about his view that god smites enemies and u must fear him blah blah #i jus don't know what it was supposed to imply about gus!!!#bc they describe gus like he is fat mac with healthy views on the bible which :]#then that last line just gives me whiplash what does that mean!!

A Secret Life:

**Gif credits go to the amazing @nofckingfighting your gifs give me life ok. They’re *chef’s kiss.**

Masterlist | Rules | Peaky Prompts

Trigger Warnings: None really, just some Fluff and some Swearing I think.

Word Count: 3,324

Characters: Johnny Dogs x Female!Reader

Requested by: @atjafshelby, you can find it here. This was the first time I’ve written anything mainly for him so I hope this is good lol. I love getting the opportunity to write other characters. :)

Summary: After a spat about potatoes and a sudden departure from Thomas’ dinner meeting, Johnny Dogs rushes home to be with his wife Y/N and their family, knowing he’d have to tell the blinders about his secret life with them eventually.

The weather was gloomy as the peaky men prepared for one of Tommy’s meetings in the middle of Charlie’s yard. The cans full of logs and kindling burning brightly through the smog of Small Heath as the smoke filled the air. The smell of smoked meat and other foods slowly making their way onto the makeshift table.

In the distance though, was a loud voice mumbling on hurriedly as he stomped along the dirt and soot covered road leading to the feast.

“Right, put the steel rods up the gooses arse there. Go on.” Johnny Dogs said to one of the younger lads who were understandably confused. His eyes watching as they did so, itching to do it himself since no one ever prepared goose the right way. This wasn’t his only criticism though, as he made his way to the table he noticed the lack of starch amongst the men.

“This isn’t a proper dinner. If you’re going to have the Gold’s here ya gotta have potatoes!” Johnny Dogs said loudly as the Shelby’s tired uncle followed the Irish traveler around the yard.

Charlie looked at the man dumbfounded, thinking it was as great a feast as any.

“I want him to see that we live proper, that we eat proper, in the proper way!” He exclaimed.

“No...no you know what?” He added, pointing at Charlie with an anger-filled expression.

“What?” Charlie asked, lighting a cigarette as his infamous nephews came strolling in.

“I’ll get the potatoes me-self!” He exclaimed, clearly frustrated as he stomped through the yard to the old market nearby. His mind buzzing with the thought of his wife and children back at camp. He loved being here with the men he considered allies, but his heart was there with Y/N, always, especially now that she’d been alone with their newest edition to the family.

“What’s he on about aye? It’s just a dinner to discuss the vendetta. Is he scared of the Gold’s?” Tommy said, a cigarette lingering on his lips.

“No he just thinks they’re bloody heathens.” Charlie said as Tommy smirked, walking back to meet Aberama Gold and his son Bonnie.

As Johnny got back, he hastily threw the potato’s in one of the boiling pots near the men. The steam rolling off them as he mashed them up and brought them to the table.

“Bit late there Johnny.” Arthur said, grabbing a huge spoonful of them.

“Not me fault someone can’t prepare a proper meal.” He said, his eyes darting to his pocket watch as Aberama agreed, thanking him for making them as they continued their tense conversation.

“Is there something wrong?” Tommy asked Johnny, causing him to swallow hard as he tried to not tell them about you. It ached him not to, but quite frankly he was nervous to do so. Knowing they’d have something to say when they learned of his relationship status and such.

“Almost forgot, I had some things to take care of at camp. I’ll be back in the mornin’ boys. Don’t get blood all over the fucking food alright?” He said, Tommy waving him off with a suspicious look on his face. He never had men leave abruptly, but if anything he thought maybe he had a whore waiting for him or another feud to handle.

But little did the blinders know what actually awaited him.

“Aye! Dads going to be home soon-no-don’t you dare hit your brother!” Y/N said aloud to her two rambunctious children Alice and Samuel, who were running around the field with the other little ones of the group that were set up nearby. Your youngest, Sarah, nestled on your hip and baby-babbling to herself.

“You’re gonna be full of words just like your father aren’t ya love?” You said to her quietly, going over to your son and daughter who were rough-housing as usual.

“Playtime’s over loves, we have to get ready for dinner.” You said, the children immediately stopping and saying goodbye to the other kids as you waved goodbye to their parents.

As you led your children back to the vardo, you quickly put your daughter down in her small crib near the cramped bed in the wooden structure.

Your tired reflection caught you off guard as you looked in the mirror. Your eyes not as bright and hair not as perfectly placed as before you’d had three children.

You were always grateful to be blessed with good looks that were surely from your mother, but you soon garnered unwanted attention as you’d grown up, the men throwing themselves at you left and right, until you’d seen Johnny one day at a camp in Ireland of course. He was bantering with his friends, fist fighting and such near one of your family’s stops, his smile catching your eye as he laid his own upon you. The poor man got punched because of you after all, making him go off his game with your beauty. But to this day he said he didn’t regret it, telling you in that moment his world stopped. That he’d felt like the luckiest man in the world to have someone as sweet and as beautiful as you by his side all these years.

And so now here you were, waiting for your traveler and infamously rowdy blinder husband to come home. The sun setting in a plethora of colors over the field as the other travelers sat around their respective bonfires.

“When’s dad coming? He’s usually back.” Your son asked, his eyes the color of yours but the shape of Johnny’s, and your daughters small smile like his as well.

“Yeah mum where’s he off to? I wanted him to tell us a bedtime story.” She said, pouting slightly as she watched you preparing dinner.

“Give him time angels. He’s a busy man.” You said, wondering where he was, knowing he’d most likely gotten held up by the fucking Shelby’s once again.

He’s never told them about you and it stung a bit, but you realized early on that he only did it to keep you and the family safe, knowing that nothing good ever came from uttering the Shelby name.

As you portioned the food out for the children, your youngest cried for her food as well as you sighed and went in to nurse her. Humming a soft song to her as she gradually fell asleep in your arms.

As the kids emptied their bowls, stomachs full and content smiles on their faces, you ushered them to their beds, your heart racing slightly as you thought about where your husband could be.

“Don’t worry loves, dad will be home soon alright? I’m going to be just outside.” You said, fixing yourself your portion of the food as you stoked the fire a bit more, the embers disappearing into the night air as you wrapped the warm knit blanket around you.

You’d gotten accustomed to spending the majority of your nights alone with the children, eating amongst the stars and telling stories, but one thing always remained constant, and that was the need for their dad to be home. He made everyone light up when he’d come around. His laugh bringing a smile to your face instantly as he entertained the kids on his off days while you rested with the baby. But now like many nights, they missed him. They missed how he’d make you all feel safe, knowing he had you all out in the open like this. But he knew the company he kept, and he trusted them with his life that they’d take care of you all if need be.

Alas, as you sat there lost in thought, you heard the cries of your daughter once again as you went into the vardo, gently cradling her to you as you carried her outside into the cool night air, the sound of the crackling fire and water rushing nearby helping her fall asleep once again as you bounced her around lightly.

“It’s okay sweetheart. He’ll be home soon.” You reassured her. Knowing he’d never ever leave you sleeping alone, unless it was something serious.

---

“Johnny, before you go, we’ll be stopping by tomorrow. We need to make sure you all are ready.” Thomas said as Johnny walked away from the table.

“Alright, I’ll see ya there then lads. Goodnight.” He said, tipping his hat and walking off towards the horse he’d ridden in on. Quickly riding towards one of the flower fields nearby to pick some for you. He knew they wouldn’t make up for him being late, but he knew they’d at least bring a smile to the face he loved so much.

---

You sat wide-awake with your sleeping daughter against your chest, your nightgown covered by the thick blanket you’d draped over you and the baby. Her soft coos and little snores bringing a smile to your face as you kissed the top of her head. Your stomach still hurting with some efforts as you shifted in your seat. She’d only been about 4 months old, so both you and her were adjusting to the whole life thing with each other.

As you sat there naming the constellations to yourself as you gazed at the stars, you heard the familiar horse hooves pounding on the ground near the vardo. Johnny’s giddy whistle making your daughter rustle around in your arms as she knew he was home.

“Shhh, she’s sleeping.” You said quietly as he walked over ever-so carefully to kiss you, his lips soft against yours as he lingered on them for a moment, taking you in.

“I wanted to get here earlier, with the baby and everything but uh...Tommy got in the way again.” He said, grabbing the flowers he’d picked earlier.

“Are these for me?” You asked, grasping them with your free hand.

“Mhmm. Picked them me-self. Thought you’d like some after a hard days work caring for the kids. And uh, since I’ve been gone so long ya know?” He said, nervously rubbing his hand on the back of his neck.

“I love you Johnny Dogs. You romantic devil.” You said with a smirk as you kissed him once more.

“Now tell me love, what’s got you on your toes?” You asked, knowing his body language more than your own at this point.

“They’re coming here, to make sure everything’s ready for the big mission.” He said.

“Christ....do we need to stay in? It’ll be hard with this one crying.” You said, looking down at the sleeping bundle in your arms.

“No...I...I want you to meet them. They’re coming tomorrow mornin’.” He said.

“I see....well I’ll make sure to get up and make sure the kids meet them too. Couldn’t hurt right?” She asked.

“It could soften the blow I suppose.” He said, grabbing the last of the food that was still warm over the fire.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She asked.

“They’ll take one look at you and drool. You don’t think I see it every time we go outside the camp? You’re bloody gorgeous and you’ve gone and married a fool like me?” He said half-jokingly. His self-deprecating humor hurting your heart.

“They can say what they want, but you’ll always be the man for me Johnny. I wouldn’t have you any other way. You were the first man I’ve ever loved.” You said, remembering how despite your looks, you’d never had the luck of relationships on your side, thinking all hope was lost until that day so long ago. And god were you grateful for him, even if he did talk your ear off on more than one occasion, you still loved the man to death.

“Now go tell your children a bedtime story, please love?” You asked, looking at him with puppy dog eyes that made his heart swoon. He could never say no to you.

---

The next morning, you awoke to the sound of the kids playing out by the river, the wind rustling around the vardo as you heard Johnny helping out with the baby outside.

“I’m sorry love, I was going to get up and help ya but I guess I overslept.” You said, wrapping your robe around yourself that complimented your eyes and physique exquisitely.

“You needed the beauty sleep love. Besides, you’ve done enough for me these past weeks, thought I’d do something for ya.” He said, cradling the baby in his arms as you sat near him next to the barely lit fire, the coals still hot from the night before.

Johnny took your hand in his lightly, the ring on your finger sparkling in the sunlight as you both watched your kids playing together near the river.

In the distance though, you could hear the sound of a car pulling up, your nerves getting to you as you knew it was Thomas Shelby and his brothers.

“Here we go.” You mumbled, calling your children over as the men got out of the car, the kids nearly running into them as their little legs carried them swiftly over the grass. They quietly stood behind you as Johnny handed you your baby girl, her bright eyes looking up at you as the sun hit your face flatteringly.

“Hello boys! G’morning to ya! How’s about we get this meeting done shall we?” He asked, putting his cap on.

“Who’s the lovely lady over there aye?” John asked, eyeing her with hungry eyes.

“That’s me wife. Her names Y/N.” He said, looking John in the eyes as he crossed his arms.

“Oh and who are the children with her? They can’t be yours can they? Wow Johnny boy! Didn’t know you had it in ya. How’d you snag a gem of a girl like that aye? Use any of yer charms?” Arthur said jokingly.

“They’re mine yes, and don’t worry, I did nothing of the sort. She came to me actually.” He said with a proud smug smile on his face, knowing he married one of the prettiest women near Small Heath and the bastards couldn’t do anything about it.

“Well if you have anymore questions how’s about you lot meet them then?” Johnny asked over the awkward silence, Thomas still eyeing him a bit suspiciously.

“You boys go meet them, me and Johnny have something to discuss.” Tommy said shortly.

“Oh...al-alright. Here ya go lads.” He said, leading them over to Y/N and her children, who backed behind their beautiful mother shyly.

“Hello gentlemen, I’m Y/N. Nice to meet ya.” You said, smiling brightly as their stares lingered over you. It was something you were used to, but still made you slightly uncomfortable, so you remained focused on your kids.

“You can have a seat if you’d like, we don’t mind do we loves?” You asked, patting your son on the head as he smiled.

“No it’s ok momma. I’m gonna go play.” Your daughter said, running off towards the other little kids nearby. Your son sat by you though, eyeing the men curiously.

“So these are Johnny’s kids aye? What’s your name little man?” Arthur asked, putting on his nicest smile.

“Samuel. Who are you? Why do ya have big hats on like me dad?” He asked.

The men both looked at each other and smiled.

“We’re in a...group that your fathers in. It’s for people that are nice and strong.” He said.

“Oh...” Samuel said, fiddling with his fingers as he leaned his head against your arm.

“How’d you and Johnny meet aye? Old bugger like him sure snagged a beauty for a wife.” John said.

“Oh uhm...we met by chance really. I saw him scrapping with some people by the roadside when my family were going through and I stopped to watch. He says he got caught off guard by me. He got hit right after eyeing me up.” You said with a small laugh. John and Arthur chuckled as they looked over at Johnny and Tom having a rather tense conversation.

“While our brother’s interrogating the poor man, who’s this little one and her big sister?” Arthur asked.

“This is Sarah. She’s 4 months, almost 5. Talkative little bugger just like her dad. Always babbling about somethin’ aye? And that’s Alice. She hates sitting down, always wanting to be on the go. Guess it’s in the blood.” You said, also feeling antsy as you sat there with half of your little family.

“That it is.” Arthur said, looking around the camp as Johnny’s voice rose in the distance.

“When were you going to tell me Johnny?” Thomas asked, his cigarette dangling from his lips.

“About what mate? Bout me cookin’ and leaving yesterday or bout me family?” He asked.

“About your family, Johnny. You’re like family to us you know. How could you not tell us?” He asked loudly.

“You should know! The bloody line of work we’re in! God knows I’m not bringing them into that ‘ere.” He said a bit louder than Thomas expected, causing the others to look over.

“But why hide something like this Johnny? Not because of the way of our work but why hide it until now aye?” He asked.

Johnny thought for a moment, leaning against the tree near the river.

“Because Tom. I knew you’d all take one look at her and wonder why she’s wit’ a man like me. Ya know I’m not the nicest looking man ‘ere. Somehow how Tom...somehow she loves me and I wanted ya to see why I had to leave yesterday. It’s not just me I’m thinkin’ bout anymore.” He said.

“That why you’ve been yelling at work? Being short with everyone?” Thomas asked.

“Yeah Tom, yeah. Just...please don’t drag them into this.” He said, looking over at his wife who was managing pretty well despite John practically drooling.

“Well now that that’s cleared up how about you introduce me to them aye?” Thomas said, patting him on the shoulder and walking past him.

“I fucking guess. C’mon.” He said walking quickly ahead of his friend as Y/N smiled upon their arrival. His heart skipping a beat at the sight of it.

“Y/N, love, I want ya to meet-“ He said before you cut him off. Eyeing the man who’d put your family in risky circumstances long ago.

“Thomas Shelby. Yeah...I know. Nice to see you in person.” You said, shaking his hand roughly and with a more colder glance than you’d had given his other brothers. You knew Thomas orchestrated everything within the blinders, so he was often the one blamed when things went south, and you had no problem casting the blame on him when Johnny would come home half conscious and bleeding, or limping with a bullet wound or two.

“Pleasure’s all mine Y/N. How’s the family?” He asked, sitting beside Johnny around the bonfire that was slowly burning out.

“Good now that their father is back. This little one is Sarah, the wild one over there is Alice, and our boy here is Samuel.” You said, pointing with your free hand to your small crew of children.

“Aye, so he tells me you met by chance. How in the hell did this man meet a woman like you?” He asked.

You looked down slightly at your daughter who was surprisingly sleeping soundly, her small mass of hair on her head coming in as dark as her fathers.

“I told your brothers already but, uh we met when I was traveling with me family. Saw him scrapping with some other men from nearby, I guess ya locked eyes long enough with me that they knocked you out aye love?” You said lightly punching Johnny’s shoulder.

“Aye they did. Couldn’t stop bloody lookin’ at ya. I mean seriously boys. Isn’t she a beauty? I’m a lucky man. A lucky lucky man.” He said, lighting a cigar as you smiled and put your free hand on his. It was rough from years of work, but as warm as the hugs he gave. He was home to you, no matter where you all went, he was the one constant thing you longed for, knowing in your heart he was yours forever.

In the Middle Pt. 1

Cedric x Reader & George x Reader (Eventually)

AN: Hi Everyone! I recently really got into Harry Potter (I am extremely late to the game, I know) and immediately fell in love with two characters, Cedric Diggory and George Weasley. So for the last few months, I have been working on a fan fiction revolving around those two boys. I have already written the story through Goblet of Fire and hope to improve my writing throughout this journey. I also understand theres already a fic like this in progress, but I didn’t want my fic to go to waste. So, I hope you enjoy! (P.S. I am REALLY working on becoming a more in-depth writer and hope to improve as time goes on.)

Summary: Y/N is attending the Quidditch World Cup with the Weasleys, Hermione and Harry.

Pairing(s): Cedric x Reader & George x Reader (eventually)

Word Count: 1.8k

Warnings: Italics/Bold = past event. none.

Masterlist

The Quidditch World Cup

You wake up in Ginny’s room within the Burrow, where both Hermione and Ginny are fast asleep. Quietly, you slide out of bed and begin getting ready waking both girls as you do. As you head down the stairs, you can smell the delicious scent of Molly Weasley’s cooking. As you come around the corner, you notice two identical boys and Arthur Weasley sitting at the table. Both George and Fred have been your best friends since your first ride on the Hogwarts Express.

You remember being so nervous to go off to Hogwarts not knowing any other children your age. As you stepped onto platform 9 ¾ you noticed a large family all with ginger hair. Neither of your parents were able to accompany you to the station, so you were utterly alone. Maybe you looked lost or stared at the family too long, but the woman you presumed to be their mother waved you over. “Come here, dear! Don’t be afraid, its George and Fred’s first day at Hogwarts too.” The woman exclaimed. “My other sons attend too, this is Bill, Charlie and Percy.” She points at each boy as she says their names. “Oh, and I am Molly Weasley, who might you be dear?”

“Oh, uh I’m Y/N L/N” You give a slight wave to the family and they all smile and wave back.

“Y/N, huh?” One of the twins say, who you think is Fred.

“Well, Y/N, you can share a booth with us!” The other one states, who you believe in George.

“Oh, thank you” You smile at the two boys as they lead you with them to a booth and you all chat happily until you get to Hogwarts.

Your friendship with the boys has continued throughout the years and now you are all about to enter your sixth year. You sit at the table next to George who gives you a wide smile and continues shoveling food into his mouth. “Oh, Good Morning dear!” Molly says as she cleans the kitchen up.

“Good morning Molly!” You begin to add various breakfast foods to your plate and hear the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, watching as Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny take their seats and immediately start eating. You could tell that Ron just woke up, from his constant yawning and eye rubbing. After breakfast, you all grab your bags and head outside in order to begin the trek to transport to the stadium. As we approached the bottom of the hill, Arthur began talking to a man.

“My apologies, someone had a hard time waking up this morning” Arthur said looking back at Ron. “Everyone, this is Amos Diggory. We work together at the Ministry” Just then a boy dropped down from the tree, someone you had seen at Hogwarts before. “Ah yes, and you may know his son Cedric.”

Hermione, Ginny and I shared glances with each other, a type of look only given by girls who fancy a boy. When you look back at Cedric, you make eye contact and see a slight smile form on his mouth. He was handsome with bright grey eyes and brown hair, so you couldn’t help but smile and tuck your hair behind your ear. Then Ginny and Hermione shared a knowing look between each other.

As you begin making your way up the hill, Cedric matches his footsteps with yours so that you are walking side by side. “Hello Cedric” you look up at him.

“Y/N, right? In Gryffindor?” He looks at you for a long moment, a small smile spreading across his face.

“Yes, Hufflepuff yourself, correct?”

Cedric nods his head. “You know; I’ve seen you on the Quidditch pitch. You’re a pretty good chaser, for a Gryffindor.” He teased.

“Ah, coming from a seeker, I guess I’ll take it as a compliment.” you laugh lightly.

Cedric let out a laugh and discussed Quidditch with you as you made your way up the hill to the boot just sitting at the top. While talking to him, you noticed George and Fred periodically looking back at you. Last time we had discussed Cedric, both boys referred to him as “Pretty Boy Diggory” and were angry the Dementors got in the way, knocking Harry off the broom and allowing Hufflepuff to win last year. Everyone gathers around the portkey, grabbing onto it. Just before it launched us into the air, Arthur yells at Harry to grab on. “Harry!” He exclaims loudly.

The moment Harry grabbed the portkey everyone spun into the air in a whirlwind. “Alright, let go!” Arthur yells. One by one we all released our grip from the portkey, crashing onto the ground. In your case, you accidently land right on top of George. You hear him groan as you land with a thud. “George! I am so sorry!” You quickly get up and help him get to his feet.

“That’s quite alright” He laughs. Everyone gets up and dusts themselves off, only to observe the patrons walking around the various tents outside the stadium.

We will see you in the High Box later, Amos” Arthur said “Come on then everyone!” He began walking towards the crowd of people beckoning for everyone to follow him.

Cedric and his dad started walking in the opposite direction. He turned around slowly with a wide grin, stated “See you later, Y/N” and then kept walking.

As we started following Arthur, Fred and George both put their arms around me “Ah, making friends with the enemy” They said in unison.

“You can’t be mad at someone just because they beat us in a quidditch match!” you exclaimed throwing your hands up.

“Sure we can!” They yelled walking into the tent and immediately putting their feet up on the table. You laughed softly and got ready to watch the game.

The moment we stepped into the stadium, the excitement was contagious. You were wearing a green and white scarf, like Fred, George and Hermione. You let George paint green and white lines on your cheeks. While you felt the bet they had made wasn’t a wise idea, you knew it was best to stay positive about the whole situation. You climbed your way to the top and noticed that Amos and Cedric were already at the top and began to move over to allow you all in.

“Y/N” Cedric said smiling at you. “I told you I would see you soon”

“Well, you were correct. However, I had a feeling you knew that we’d have the same seats for the game” You smiled back at him, unsure what he was getting at. Fred and George each made their way to either side of you. “Hello, Diggory” They smirked, making it very obvious that you were matching with them.

“Fred. George.” Cedric said sternly. He looked at you, then back at the two boys with an unreadable expression. “I’ll talk with you later, Y/N” And then he walked away.

“Bloody hell you two!” You playfully punched them each on the arms. “I talk to a boy for two seconds and you two have to come up all smug.

“Come on Y/N! You know it’s all in good fun!” Fred exclaimed.

“We were only trying to intimidate him!” George followed.

“You are impossible” You yelled as the Irish quidditch players began to zoom overhead. The excitement continued well into the night, resulting in the Irish winning the Quidditch World Cup.

As you made your way back to the tent, you heard someone call your name some distance away. You turn around and notice Cedric running through the crowd towards you. “Cedric?” You stop in your tracks and turn around completely waiting for him to catch up.

“Mr. Weasley!” He yells causing Arthur to turn around and stand with you.

“Oh, Hello Cedric. What can I do for you?”

“Do you mind if I talk with Y/N outside the tent for a bit? We won’t travel too far off. No more than a yell away” Cedric looks at Arthur with a hopeful expression.

“Well, I don’t see why not!” Arthur turns and follows the rest of the group into the tent. You can hear the excitement between Ron, Fred and George as they erupt in laughter.

“I just wanted to apologize for earlier” Cedric rubbed the back of his neck, looking at you.

“For earlier?” You ask, not entirely sure what he means. “Oh, you mean with George and Fred? If anything, I should be the one apologizing. They have an issue with entering other conversations”

“Ah, just being protective them? I’ll admit, they can be a little intimidating” Cedric chuckles lightly looking at you.

You immediately begin laughing “Fred? George? Intimidating?” You continue laughing, making Cedric laugh with you.

“Alright, alright. Maybe that wasn’t the correct phrase” He continues, still laughing with you.

You both stand there silently for a moment, taking in the atmosphere of the cup. Cedric turns to look at you and begins to lean in slowly, eyes locked with yours. “Y/N-” A loud explosion interrupts Cedric causing the ground to become unsteady. You lose your balance and you fall against Cedric who manages to steady you. As you look around, you notice a fire erupting and more continue to appear. Arthur exits the tent first followed by everyone else. People are screaming and running madly, constantly knocking people over, not caring if anyone else is around. Someone knocks into you and you fall again, but this time into George, who catches you with ease.

“George. Fred. Y/N. You’re in charge of Ginny. Everyone get to the portkey. Cedric and I will go look for his father and meet you there.” Arthur abruptly turns and grabs Cedric’s arm running in the opposite direction. You three take out your wands and begin running towards the portkey, noticing some hooded figures in the distance. You grab Ginny’s hand and George and Fred help you create a barrier protecting her from being knocked over. Eventually, you reach the portkey and begin to wait.

“Where are Harry, Hermione and Ron? I thought they were right behind us!” You look around but cannot seem to find them anywhere. After what feels like an eternity, Hermione and Ron come running up. “Where’s Harry?” You all ask at the same time.

“We lost him in the crowds. We hoped he made his way up here.” Hermione said just as Arthur, Cedric and Amos approached.

When you looked down the hill, you noticed that the crowds and hooded figures had all cleared out. But now up in the sky was the Dark Mark of he-who-shall-not-be-named. “Y/N, stay here with Ginny while we go down and find Harry” Arthur stated as everyone ran down in order to find him. As you watched everyone run down, you noticed a flash of red light and immediately grew with concern. Once you looked up, you saw it, the dark mark is already floating in the sky. Eventually, the group returned with Harry in tow and everyone used the portkey to travel back to the burrow.

Charlie Prince ❦ Fairest

"Oh, I can't give you this," Charlie said, reaching behind herself to leave the script on a side table, "are you kidding? That's only for people in the show. Are you a people in the show?" "You play dirty, Charlie Prince." Ivy chuckled, and for some reason she didn't lean back when Charlie moved even closer than before. "All's fair in love and war, right?"

❦ THE BASICS ❦

Full name: Charlotte Floriana Prince.

Known as: Charlie, almost exclusively, since she chose her stage name at 18. Her parents and siblings still call her Charlotte.

Age: 32.

Birthday: August 15.

Zodiac: Leo ↬ Creative, passionate, generous, warm-hearted, cheerful, humorous, arrogant, stubborn, self-centered, lazy, inflexible.

Sexuality: Lesbian. Out and proud since high school.

Hometown: Greenwich, Connecticut

Family: parents, four siblings (she’s the middle child, and A Middle Child), her dog/soulmate Irish Wolfhound aptly called Horse.

Occupation: actress. She used to be a dancer, but that's been set aside to focus on her acting career. Her online D&D guild friends have no idea TheTiddyPaladin is actually the Charlie Prince.

Height: 5'4''

Build: Naturally slim, though she couldn't tell you if it's genetics or the fact that she's been constantly on the move since she learned how to walk. She's a professionally trained dancer and has the muscle definition to show for it. She will neither confirm nor deny she sticks her favorite thirsty tweets from fans to her bathroom mirror to get an ego boost in the morning.

❦ THE BACKSTORY❦

Charlie Prince is the apple of Hollywood's eye. She showed up seemingly out of nowhere, wearing a spandex suit and a cape for what was supposed to be a minor (very minor) appearance in one of the biggest superhero franchises in the world. Her character was so inconsequential she wasn't even given any rules or recommendation as far as PR and her public image. After all, why would anyone even interview someone who was in the movie for a grand total of five minutes?

Charlie flew out to Vancouver, shot her scenes, and immediately went back to her job at the NYC Ballet. She was almost twenty-five, and she was so close to her first solo at the ballet she could almost taste it. And then the movie premiered. Charlie was invited out of politeness and (she suspected) a need for the cast pictures on the red carpet to look a little less male and white. Charlie was walking the red carpet, happy as a clam to enjoy the glamour of a premiere as one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, when a journalist stopped her to ask her a question: was the handsome gentleman by her side her boyfriend?

Charlie laughed and then laughed some more, and then she said the words that would turn her life upside down: "No, no, that's my brother, and I'm really gay. If you wanna come to the after party, though, hit me up."

The flirty wink that followed those words went viral within minutes. By the time the premiere ended, Charlie Prince had become an icon, a social media sensation, and a very real problem for a very large media empire. Her acting career (what acting career?) was on the line, they said, and Charlie nodded politely and went back to her pointe shoes and her rigorous work schedule. Hollywood had been fun for a night, just like the nice reporter whose name she couldn't quite remember anymore. But she was now ready to go back to real life.

But Charlie's words and her wink and her five minutes of screen time simply refused to go away. She started rehearsing for her first solo one week before her action figure hit the shelves of all major retailers. There were petitions for a solo movie, invitations to talk shows and podcasts and fan conventions. An ever-increasing amount of fans -- fan-fans, mind you, not ballet aficionados -- crowding around the stage door every night. The most surreal experience of her life in the form of her own face printed on the lunch bag of a little girl walking to school.

Charlie Prince was famous, and she still had no idea how.

The months that followed were a flurry of experiences Charlie honestly wasn't prepared to process. Everyone knew her. Most people loved her. Some people hated her. Both groups were loud and relentless and seemingly everywhere. She took a leave of absence from her job to spend some time holed up in her family home back in Connecticut with her parents and siblings, who were delighted to remind her she was still the same old Charlotte. Still getting into trouble for not thinking before she spoke. Still so very different from her quiet, academically-oriented family.

When her agent called her to talk about a solo movie and a recurring role in the big franchise crossovers, her parents laughed and told her to not be silly -- ballet was her life. She'd devoted twenty-five years of her life to it. She had the skill and drive to make it. Who in their right mind would give up a chance to become a soloist at the New York City Ballet for the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood life?

Charlie Prince, as it turned out.

Once she made her choice and jumped fully into acting, Charlie was an instant star. She was flirty and witty and naturally charming in a way that made every talk show appearance go viral within minutes of it landing on YouTube. She was bold and confident in a way that would absolutely have come off as arrogant in most people, but she somehow made it work. She led blockbuster after blockbuster, and her name became synonymous with box office hits.

If there's one thing Charlie's missing, it's that feeling of being respected for her craft. Superhero movies may make billions, but they're not exactly the kind of credits that give you Serious Actress points. So when they offered her a chance to work in a Broadway show, opposite legendary actress Rhiannon Braeburn? Charlie didn't even think twice. Live theater is serious enough -- prestigious enough -- to push Charlie from superhero actress to actress actress.

And if it helps distract people from that pesky little lesbian heartbreaker reputation she's earned (and deserved, if she's being perfectly honest) over her seven years in Hollywood?

Well. She's definitely not going to complain.
