FOUR YEARS OF NOXTMS / six characters !
ft. @viiktorious ( my absolute favorite take on viktor, in the sense that no one else could ever really compare. i think you write him so well when it would be so easy for him to be very oversimplified, and one of the most pleasant surprises of this year - at least so far - has been you bringing him back to the dash ! ), @hoggleswart ( i don't know how well documented my 'sarah shahi deserves to be used more in the rpc' movement is here in nox, but i have been leading that charge for so many years and i was already so invested in roshana before you ticked all my favorite boxes in a character. i love ocs connected to existing canons in ways other than siblings or children, and i'm always a sucker for someone achingly sad ! ), @hcldmybroom ( not unlike the above, i have been wanting ambika to become the next big thing for so long that i, again, was always predisposed to loving a character using her ! there is so much - so far - untapped potential for drama with minette that makes me gleeful, and i really, really enjoy what i have seen of them so far ! ), @chacswins ( this guy is always gonna hurt my heart, and i'm always gonna be way more into that than i should be</3 you and sam are neck to neck in my personal 'most anticipated returns' list, and i'm so happy to be able to play around with you in all the angsty ways i've grown to love playing around with you in over the years of friendship and development we've had ! i'm so fond of damien in a way i think doesn't get expressed enough, and so grateful that his existence has provided me with 1. a whole character, in luca and 2. so many new layers for other characters ! ), @tosteelisms ( cara macdonald, my beloved, i am so glad that someone has finally given you a chance to thrive when you have so deserved it for so long ! she's one of my most adored creations, here, and i am so glad that i was able to entrust her into such capable hands ! you came into nox swinging, and i have loved seeing her form ! ), @acritudos ( last, but not at all least. theo nott was talked about at such length for so long that it would have been so easy for him to lose momentum but. of course. that was never going to happen in your hands. he is everything i've always dreamed of and more in terms of all the various dynamics i always wanted - with pansy, with the slytherin gang as a whole, with astoria, with ginny. with everyone, really ! - and of course it would be you that would give me those goods. how on earth could i expect any differently ! as always, i feel very lucky to write with you and develop such complex connections with you, and i hope that never changes<3 ) !

FOUR YEARS OF NOXTMS: FOUR DYNAMICS.
ft. @woesbegone, @rebuildeds, @bemyhcro, @taciiturns & @monstrovs!
@woesbegone. i cannot stress enough how hard it was for me to pick just one of our dynamics because honestly … i’m obsessed with them all! a very, very honourable mention to ginny & arthur, niko & ezekiel, luca & ezekiel, seamus & mary, marcus & pansy, justin & astoria, andie & arturo and oskar & eliza who absolutely also got considered, but ultimately i went with these two because i genuinely just … love how naturally these two flow, bond, etc. they’ve both been through it! they both continue to go through it! but they’re really, really trying their best, and i think they just get that about each other. i’m easily attached to the concept of two people who have been very fucked up by their past kinda gravitating towards each other with a silent understanding. i know the connection was initially built on a previous connection (julius crabbe<3), but i feel like overtime, we’ve established their own footing and they just make me smile.
@rebuildeds. this was almost marcus & tempest, because the way tempest eats marcus alive every time they try to start a war they can’t finish is a constant amusement, and then i went what about lavender & tempest? or seamus & dudley? but in the end, it was impossible for me not to choose justin & tempest. this dynamic is so special to me. sometimes they’re fun, currently they’re angsty. the way i naturally adore tempest anyway makes it easy for justin to also be a lil besotted with them, but tie it in with the new vibe of momentarily bonded by trauma and we always have so much to unpack. i really enjoy them.
@bemyhcro. i know this is a relatively new connection we’re still exploring, but i’m already very !!! about them. bringing together two people that have been completely fucked by the narrative turning against them? it’s the best ingredient for a deliciously complicated dynamic. the kind that’s almost … would we even be pals if we weren’t bound by this one deep, dark secret we have in common? probably not, but here we are! and that’s such a great trope. i love unlikely confidants. there’s so many potential directions they can end up going in and i can’t wait to help it all unfold.
@taciiturns & @monstrovs. i couldn’t let this meme pass without giving the biggest shout - out to everybody’s favourite karkaroffs. i think i speak for us all when i say what a delight it is to read these two interacting. the karkaroff family as a whole are such an insanely talented concept, but these two in particular? i’m always fascinated by them. i always have so much fun reading their threads, their texts, learning more about how they are with each other. there’s never a dull moment and you two bring both niko & kaela such depth, such character, such … everything. i don’t really have the words to put down how much i love these two, but i really, really, really, really just do.

" something that says 'my bad on telling the daily prophet about your unplanned and misbegotten bundle of joy before you were ready for the happy news to break. it was wrong of me to place you and your baby daddy under such relentless public scrutiny at such a delicate time and i'm sure that'… hm.

𝚃𝙷𝚁𝙴𝙴 𝚈𝙴𝙰𝚁𝚂 𝙾𝙵 𝙽𝙾𝚇𝚃𝙼𝚂 : two moments, ft @ofzvbini !
“ i hope you don’t mind if i… ” she trails off & takes a seat, all the better to clasp her hands tightly in her lap and actually meet his gaze, again. it feels so unnecessary to make small talk when they’re really so beyond it. “ obviously i’m not here for pansy, ” and she laughs airily at that, because it feels JUST as unnecessary to clarify when she’s only going to end up admitting, “ but i can’t think straight when you look at me like that. ” / he treats it like a joke the way her delivery does and he makes a point of turning his chin away from her to look directly at the tea tray . ❝ alright , ❞ he says , as he hands her a saucer without making eye contact and settles back against the wood , legs crossed in front of him and sleeves rolled up to his elbows . artfully disheveled . at home in ways he hasn’t allowed himself to be in front of her in eight long years . dark eyes fix on the crown molding of the ceiling over her shoulder and his voice colors itself with levity . ❝ what brings you here then , if not for pansy parkinson’s excellent company ? ❞

THREE YEARS OF NOXTMS / six characters !
ft @taciiturns , @lmortem , @kxbellem , @hoggleswart , @rebuildeds , @ofmccnlight !
GWEN DURAND as played by lex ( on auroratms ).
lex, where do i even begin and how can i possibly stop when it comes to how much i love you as a person, how much i love your characters and how truly lucky i am to get to have so much of them and of you :( i feel like you are always making an appearance on these things, but it’s because every time they roll around i have something new to shout from the rooftops about, and this time is absolutely no different ! i’ve only had gwen for a short time, but if anything were to ever happen to her, i would kill every character in aurora and then nox, too, in retribution - she’s so special as a character, and i am so blessed to have gotten so many unique connections with her right off the bat. it’s tough because i also feel like i HAVE to yell about felicity because the grace / henry ship sailing in aurora is one of my favorite things to have come from the au of it and i also feel as if kaela would be a valid choice for all the arturo development i’ve been given and grace, as hande’s tragic ex bestie, is also so important and so well written but- you get the picture ! it’s impossible to choose just one, and gwen only won by the narrowest margin of being a character who i never could’ve anticipated but am so glad exists now, because cordelia wouldn’t be the same and ronan wouldn’t even exist ! god. i just love you a lot ! i hope you know this ! i’ll say it every single day anyways ! and thank you so much for everything, always !
GREGORY GOYLE as played by m.
i am, i will admit it, a sucker for slytherins. i wasn’t when i started nox ! i will also admit this ! i was very normal about them and even disliked the vast majority both because of canon and because of fanon, but oh. boy. nox has taught me that if the opportunity is there and the writer is willing, slytherins - especially the canons - are always gonna end up being the most interesting, heart wrenching characters of the bunch. greg’s no different, and i didn’t ever expect that ! he’s not a popular character for people to snatch up, and when they do they don’t tend to play him as complex as you do, m - the fact that you do and have made it so that i care about him and want to see how this whole mess of a life turns out for him is so cool, and as with everyone else on this list. i’m so glad i get to write with you and see some of that unravelling of his character in real time ! you’re such a talented writer, m, and i’m so glad that you’re here and i hope i get to do loads more with you as the next months pass us by !
KNOX BELLAMY as played by gabi.
gabi, my beloved<3 i have done these backwards, so i’ve mentioned below - it was part of my process to go back and make sure i hadn’t done any of my final picks for this anniversary’s meme before, and i was genuinely kinda shocked that knox hadn’t made an appearance before, from me. i really, really like her as a character, and i think you do such a great job writing her ! it’s tough to have an oc in an rp where canon ( and fanon ideas ) can sometimes feel a bit stifling, even tougher i think to have only an oc to play with, but you’ve managed to slot knox in so well and she’s definitely one of those characters where. like. it’s sometimes kind of tough to tell she wasn’t always there ! i get such a laugh out of her antics ( i hope you know this, it’s my favorite running gag ) and i always enjoy when we get to write together, and i hope we get to do plenty more of that between now and the next anniversary ! <3
OSKAR CATCHLOVE as played by ziggy.
you had so many characters i was itching to talk about, but i feel as if it was always going to end up being oskar because - and idk if i have said this enough lately - he’s very close to my heart, being one of the most KEY eliza connections i knew i would need to have longterm muse for the ideas i had for her. it was looking grim for a little while there, but you really came through in picking him up ( which i really appreciate ) and more than that, you made him a character that just CLICKS with who eliza is perfectly, which is a really hard thing to do with connections such as these. i have gotten such enjoyment out of the threads they’ve had thus far because the replies always come very naturally to me and the rapport between them is so very, very clear. that’s also really tough to do ! not just for you but for me, if the character wasn’t perfect, or the connection wasn’t shaking out right ! and with you it is, and with oskar it is, and i really hope we get our kid soon so that we can throw them into the mix too and get even more chaotic with them, because i’m sure they have it within them !
TEMPEST CLEARWATER as played by vicky.
ohhh tempest ! a part of my process when i was narrowing down my list of possibilities for this anniversary’s six characters was going back and just making sure i wasn’t doubling up anywhere, and part of why i felt i had to go back was because i thought i’d already taken a second to praise tempest ! and as it turns out ! i had not ! their return to the nox dash on the heels of their elder sister’s murder - bummer - definitely feels like a good time to throw a little spotlight over them, because vicky ... they are genuinely fascinating, as a character. they go against the grain for what you expect of a clearwater, for one ( and so did penny ), but they also go against what you would expect of a lestrange lovechild, and i really enjoy that about them. you took two different families which could’ve gone in an all number of worn out ways and you made them so new and exciting, and i really cannot stress enough how delighted i am that they - and you ! - are back, and i get to watch what you do with them now !
PORTIA MALFOY as played by mozzie ( on auroratms ).
before i get into this, i just wanna say - it is tough to pick one of your characters. i was really settled on alecto because i LOVE everything that i get to do with her ( jot that down ), and then it was blaise - again - because of just how much i have enjoyed our baby journey, and then it was isidora because i still intend on picking up their brother and i was getting myself mildly excited about it, and then. finally. it hit me. i knew it had to be portia, because like. i don’t know if this’ll be WEIRD to say, but it was such a huge. trust moment ! to let somebody else in on the malfam ! and when i knew it was going to be you, i didn’t even have an ounce of concern or worry. i just knew you were going to get it, and that you were going to get it better than anyone aside from probably emily, and that the weasley malfoy’s were going to gain a whole new level of insight and really level up as a connection as thanks to having you involved with them. and that was right ! that’s exactly what happened ! i feel so incredibly lucky that like. years on, now, i get to not only be your friend but i also get to create this incredible multilayered connections with you that always make me think in ways i haven’t, before, and you having portia is just. idk. does it make sense to call her like. a sign of our love ? :(

FOUR YEARS OF NOXTMS MEME: SIX CHARACTERS !
aka. sam rambles like an idiot about her love and appreciation for some characters within noxtms ... this is only a very short list, because frankly i love them all.
i'm gonna be very honest here and admit that i had such a hard time choosing between all your characters. i had a little preliminary list that i was intending to narrow down but then you posted that one question about fenrir greyback and lavender suddenly just jumped out to the very top ! i just ... LOVE your take on her, genuinely. i don't think i see enough of the 'actually my past / trauma DID leave a mark on me [ a tangible and ever-present one in her case ] and it changed me and i'm bitter about it' trope on the rpc ... not well done anyways, but you ... you've done it beautifully ! and with a character that is often played in a very different way. it's such a funky fresh touch. i want you to know i eat up every single one of your lavender replies, i love love love her. <3 ( @hoggleswart )
okay so maybe i cheated a little bit adding both of your characters here ... i would like to not make any comments about it, your honor. <3 but can ANYONE blame me ?! tempest and dudley are SO widely different and amazingly crafted. i just ... couldn't choose. i often forget that the way you play them is all your personal take ... especially with dudley, my mind already replaces him with your version in canon / fanon verses. seeing them on the dash it's always a little treat that i will indulge in no matter what i'm doing. ( @rebuildeds )
the first time i read her bio it made me feel very 😔 poor girl has gone through so much since a young age, and even though it did left its mark she's still ... so sweet, and has this huge bubbly personality that you have no choice but to love her !! every single one of the interactions that include her have been so refreshing to see and with that in mind i can't wait to see how you develop her even further and how she grows within the rp !! <3 ( @hcldmybroom )
kaela<3 is probably on my top three favorite characters i've had the joy to see you play and the blessing to interact with. i feel like it'd have been very easy to fall down the 'mean one-dimensional character' hole but of course that was never gonna happen with you as her writer !! i'm always amazed by your firm grasp on her personality and actions, and how easy it is for you to just know. kaela is so unique and interesting, i can only imagine how much fun you have playing her but i can say it is so so amazing to watch her<3 ( @taciiturns )
rachel you were also someone i had such a hard time choosing a single character for ... you have so many gems in nox and i've been blessed to see the ones you've had even outside of nox too !! your mind and talent never ceases to amaze me. your way with words is stunning and it's why i always say your mind is so sexy !! i feel like in this case it just had to be ginny, the first one within nox<3 you've made her your own in a very especial way that i think your version IS now canon in my mind, no matter what anyone says. the one and only ginny weasley, best one ever in the entirety of the rpc !! ( @petriichvrs )

𝙿𝚁𝙾𝙼𝙿𝚃 : a snippet from the daily prophet article mentioned in the application process . originally published sometime in 2014 , post - battle of hogwarts .
CARROW TWINS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN AZKABAN !
it was hardly the first of a number of revelatory trials to come, and it most certainly will not be the last, but victims of alecto & amycus carrow’s reign of terror at hogwarts school of witchcraft & wizardry can rest easy this evening knowing that the pair, both aged thirty-five, were sentenced to life in azkaban this afternoon. their trial was short & swift — - both remain known associates and followers of he who shall not be named, & played crucial roles in the battle of hogwarts. this reporter is confident that the list of charges not laid against mr. & mx. carrow is shorter than the ones they faced — - including, but not limited to, murder, grievous bodily harm, repeated use of unforgiable curses, child torture, & endangering the lives of children. in a bizarre turn of events, mr. carrow plead neither guilty nor innocent, & instead chose to remain, for the most part, silent.
mr. & mx. carrow rose to infamy in 2014, upon being appointed deputy headmasters of hogwarts school of witchcraft & wizardry under the newly-minted headmaster severus snape ( who, himself, has no clean history ). prior to their dual appointment, mr. & mx. carrow taught at hogwarts; whilst mx. carrow taught muggle studies ( a version thereof ), her brother taught a highly-modified defence against the dark arts, later renamed just dark arts. however, it was their time as deputy headmasters that will forever stain hogwarts’ history. not only was violence tacitly encouraged, it was indulged by professors themselves; dozens of anonymous students came forth with stories of the carrows’ rampant cruelty throughout the 2014 school year. [ editor’s note: whilst many of these students made it clear that they were comfortable with their stories being published, we at the daily prophet found them too harrowing for everyday reading. ]
during his trial, mr. carrow appeared remarkably unphased by the charges laid against him. repeatedly leaning forth, rolling his eyes at his sister, & making highly flirtatious, highly inappropriate comments, he appeared to raise no arguments in his defence; instead, he appeared to invite multiple members of the wizengamot to bed with him, in a move that will boggle the minds of any rational readers. the chief warlock remained thoroughly un-seduced; the wizengamot, in their utmost judicial wisdom, voted unanimously to sentence the pair to life with no possibility of parole.
“they’re monsters. utter monsters,” one relieved victim wept when informed of the news. “it’s about time they paid for what they did to us. to all of us. they ought to be tortured every day for the rest of their lives, and it still wouldn’t be enough.”
