#Bennett Sisters

[foreverinthepagesofhistoryy]

~ ♔ Olga and Tatiana Nikolaevna x Jane and Elizabeth Bennett ♔ ~

“They were in fact very fine ladies; not deficient in good humour when they were pleased, nor in the power of being agreeable where they chose it; but proud and conceited. They were rather hand-some; had been educated in one of the first private seminaries in town, had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds, were in the habit of spending more than they ought, and of associating with people of rank; and were therefore in every respect entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others.” - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

“Olga was perhaps the cleverest ot them all, her mind being so quick to grasp ideas, so absorbent of knowledge that she learned almost without application or close study. Her chief characteristics, I should say, were a strong will and a singularly straightforward habit of thought and action . . . Of all the Grand Duchesses Tatiana was with the people the most popular, and I suspect in their hearts she was the most dearly loved of her parents. Certainly she was a difterent type from the others even in appearance, her hair being a rich brown and her eyes so darkly gray that in the evening they seemed quite black.” - Anna Vyrubova

Constance Bennett - The Hollywood Fox

Constance Campbell Bennett (born in New York City on October 22, 1904) was an American actress born to an aristocratic family of actors of English and Spanish ancestry. Blonde, stunning and honey-voiced, she glided through Hollywood with a sprite-like lightness and definite air of style and sophistication, receiving the moniker, "The Hollywood Fox."

The eldest of three daughters of actress Adrienne Morrison and actor Richard Bennett, she attended the Chapin School in New York along with her sisters Joan Bennett and Barbara Bennett, both of whom were actresses.

She was first Bennett sister to enter motion pictures, appearing in New York–produced silent movies before a meeting with Samuel Goldwyn led to her Hollywood debut in 1924. She took a hiatus during a brief marriage, but resumed it after her divorce.

In the early 1930s, Bennett was frequently among the top actresses named in audience popularity and box-office polls due to hits like Topper (1937). Her contracts with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Brothers, and RKO made her a big star in Hollywood, and her cutthroat contract negotiations earned her the sole female spot among Hollywood’s poker-playing elite comprised of top movie moguls.

By the 1940s, Bennett was working less frequently in film but was in demand in both radio and theatre, and she also formed her own production company, Constance Bennett Pictures, which produced two films. Nonetheless, shrewd investments made her a wealthy woman, even founding a cosmetics and clothing company, called "Fashion Focks."

Shortly after Madame X (1966) was completed, Bennett collapsed and died from a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 60 in Walston Army Hospital at Fort Dix, New Jersey. In recognition of her military contributions, and as the wife of John Theron Coulter, who had achieved the rank of brigadier general, she was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Legacy:

Won the Photoplay Awards - Best Performances of the Month in April 1925

Was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood during the early 1930s

Founded the Constance Bennett Cosmetics Company and a clothing company called "Fashion Frocks" in the 1930s

Formed her own production company, Constance Bennett Pictures, which produced two films: Paris Underground (1945) and Smart Woman (1948)

Made smart business investments, including holding stocks in the historic Arrowhead Springs Hotel

Awarded military honors for her role in coordinating shows flown to Europe for occupying troops (1946-48) and the Berlin Airlift (1948-49)

Nominated as the Hall of Fame: Actress Award in the 1978 Photoplay Awards

Has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6250 Hollywood Boulevard for motion picture

Bamon’s dynamic is lessened for the obvious reasons. But one thing that stands out to me the most in a Bamon vs. Bonenzo stance is that Damon is okay with being the bad guy in Bonnie’s eyes if that means she lives. Enzo did more saving in terms for Caroline/Lily drama lol.

Coming Home

Part 6

Kid Salvatore reader x Stefan Salvatore x Damon Salvatore

Warnings: mentions of torture, swearing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They then headed back to the boarding house to where Damon and Katherie are.

When you guys got inside the house, the first thing everyone hears is Katherine and Damon fighting about a functional way to find you.

"Guys shut up your going to wake y/n up!" Caroline said, getting the twos attention.

Damon was the first to speak up, "Where did you find her?"

"She found Jeremy in school and went over to him" Elena explained.

From all the talking you started to squirm, waking up. You lifted your head up and looked around, when you turned your arm rubbed harshly against Stefan's jacket emitting a whimper from you. It scraped right against the first place where Klaus touched you with vervain.

Speaking of Klaus when he woke up, as soon as he got dressed he went downstairs only to see that you weren't there anymore and escaped during the night. He started throwing furniture around, angry. Eventually he went down to the basement and un-daggered Elijah and Rebekah since there's no point having them daggered anymore cause your gone.

"What happened to you?" Damon asked and came up to you, inspecting all the burns but being really gentle about it.

"Mean 'erson hurt me" you mumbled back.

You then noticed Katherine standing behind Damon and your eyes lit up. "Kafrine" you reached out grabby hands for her.

She came over and gently took you into her arms from Stefan's. Damon looked offended, it was really hard for everyone not to start laughing at him. "I am offended she chose Kitty Kat right there over me. Her own brother" Damon said, playfully glaring at you.

You adorably smiled at him then started to play with Katherine's curls. "You are lucky your cute" Damon said and went to pour himself a drink.

He turned to all the girls; Bonnie, Elena, Caroline. "Don't even think about it you three and you two don't even start" he pointed to Jeremy and Tyler who were about to say something.

"Hung'y" you whispered into Katherine's ear while Damon was telling off everyone.

"Okay y/n/n do you want a blood bag or my blood?" Katherine whispered back, making you smile.

"You, p'ease" you answered.

Katherine moved her hair out of the way for you to drink from her neck. You slowly sank your tiny, cute fangs into her and started to drink from her.

"I'm going to kill Klaus" Damon raged, starting to head for the door.

"Don't even think about it" Stefan said before Damon could take another step. He thought about it for a second then started to walk again before Katherine started to talk.

"Damon if you take one more step to that fucking door I will kick your ass so hard you won't be able to sit for a week" Katherine threatened him from where she was now sitting with you on her lap still drinking her blood, slowly.

"Damon c'mon" Stefan said, knowing Katherine will actually follow through with that action.

Damon walked towards the couch and sat down, glaring at everyone in the room who was also now sitting. "So what your telling me is that son of a bitch can kidnap our sister and I can't do anything about it? No revenge?! because trust me he deserves it" Damon exclaimed, furious.

"How about we wait until we know y/n is okay before planning some psychotic revenge plan your probably thinking of right now" Bonnie said, who was sitting next to him.

"Fine Bon Bon, but I'm holding you to that" he said.

You stopped drinking Katherine's blood and by now most of the burn marks are gone except for a couple still on your arms but they'll heal soon enough. You were staring at the drink in Damon's hand that he got just now. It's obviously bourbon but you can't exactly tell the difference of alcohol or not.

Damon noticed where you were looking. "Do you want some?" He asked you.

You slightly nodded and climbed down from Katherine's lap, going over to him. "Damon no, she's four" Elena said but Damon to no avail didn't listen and brought the glass up to your slightly parted lips.

Everyone didn't stop him because they all knew what the outcome of this was most likely to be and it was you spitting it out. Damon poured some into your mouth and sat the glass down onto the coffee table. As soon as you tasted it you spat it all out right onto Damon's lap, making a disgusted face.

"Sowwy Damy, don' wike dat" you apologized and pointed at the substance in the glass he put down.

"Umm, it's okay y/n/n. I'll be back I'm going to go put on pants that aren't stained with alcohol" Damon said and went upstairs to his room.

You turned to where Bonnie's sitting and started to play around with her fingers. After a bit she lifted you onto her lap so you didn't have to keep reaching up to her hands.

When Damon came back down Stefan was already checking your arms and face where there are still a bit of traces from where Klaus hurt you. You whimpered when he touched a certain place where you were burned with vervain on your upper arm close to your shoulder. But other than that everything looked fine and should heal soon.

"Okay everything looks good but watch out for this burn mark just in case. I put a plaster on it but still be careful about it" Stefan said standing up again.

"So she's alright nothing serious right?" Damon asked sort of getting eager to everyone's dismay, knowing of what's going to come from him.

"Yeah......why?" Stefan asked his brother in return.

Damon didn't answer and just turned over to where Tyler and Jeremy were arm wrestling at the arm of the couch they were at.

"Hey you two idiots over there" he said getting both of their attention.

"Yeah?" They both asked at the same time.

"How would you guys like to go and hunt a certain hybrid with me?" Damon smirked at them.

"Sure why not?" Tyler said and Jeremy responded with; "awesome, I'm in."

"No to both of you" Alaric said walking in the room and making the two boys sit down again.

"Wait school isn't over yet" Caroline pointed out.

"I excused myself saying it was a family emergency. The whole reason I left though was because of Damon and his teenage girl hormones when this stuff happens" Alaric said, making all of them laugh at your oldest brother.

"Oh come on he DESERVES it" Damon exclaimed.

"Yes he does but let's wait a bit first" He told his best friend and drinking buddy.

Damon just rolled his eyes and sat back down next to Bonnie again. "Okay you guys might want to stop speaking about k-i-l-l-i-n-g people in front of her" Bonnie informed, nodding down to where you were now leaning back against her dozing off.

"Seriously? You think she doesn't know how to spell" Tyler pointed out at how Bonnie spelled out the word 'killing'.

"Okay then. y/n what was the word I spelt out the last time I talked" Bonnie asked, looking down at where you were looking up at her.

"I don' know. Candy?!" You said expectantly but Bonnie shook her head and you leaned back, saddened now.

Eventually though you did fall asleep ending with the top half of your thumb in your mouth. Bonnie tried to pull your thumb out but stopped after you started to wake up again.

“So what exactly did Klaus do to her?” Alaric asked after Bonnie came back downstairs from laying you down in your bed.

what if WE🫵😳🤯 were perma-lineys and we've known each other since your rookie year and have always been attached at the hip and wherever I was you were also always there and we were BOTH BOYS❓️😳

[midoristeashop]

I remember the first time I watched rotg, my personal theory was that Jack’s lil sis (emily?? Flee?? Mary??) reincarnated as the wind. Maybe she had some idea who this strange danger-prone boy was, but all she knew is that this was gonna be her bestie for like 300 years and more.

But yay! Older brothers with their eccentric little sisters 😌 I aged up Wind (I’ll call jack’s sis that so sue me) for shits and giggles, but also so jame and Sophie have TWO older sibling figures cuz why not

Also Sophie Bennett deserves more doodles cuz she’s too darn precious

Also Wind is a total girlboss

I might draw more of them <3

chapter nine: Changeling

under cut

Joyce held Sophie close to her. Colors flashed around her, lights flickering as she begged for her children’s safety. 

“That’s not Sophie.” 

The voice echoed in her head. 

“No,” she begged. “Don’t.” 

Sophie wasn’t breathing. Her eyes were empty and dead. Like she didn’t have a soul. 

“That’s not your daughter.” 

The woman next to her bent down and grabbed her. Joyce struggled against her, pleading that her daughter had to be safe. 

Sophie fell from her grip. The world sharpened, the colors and lights staying in one place. 

Joyce looked down, staring at Sophie. The thing was wood, carved to perfection. 

“Why?” She asked. Mary held her. 

“We’ll get her back,” she whispered. “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright.” 

Joyce looked at the woman. She was the spitting image of Jamie. She hadn’t noticed that before. 

Something in her trusted her. Deep down, past the grief and the pain. Everything would be alright. 

Andy approached them carefully. 

“Uh, you okay?” Joyce nodded. 

“She unlocked her power,” Mary said. “It was an unfortunate way to do so, but there is no stopping it now. The storm she conjured will pass, as well as this fake will return to normal wood.”

Joyce hesitated. She didn’t remember a storm. She only remembered seeing those two monsters taking Sophie. She remembered running to them, yelling and screaming. She failed to save her child. 

“Joyce?” Andy asked, nudging her. “You looked dazed.” 

“What happened?” She asked.

“A big wave of… some kind of…blue shit released out of you. Then it started thundering and you were holding something that looked like Sophie.” 

“That ‘blue shit’ was her power,” Mary explained. “Your energy. You unlocked your power of being a witch. The urge to protect your children made your energy grow stronger until it did this.” She motioned around the room. 

Any furniture was knocked over. The windows were shattered. The door leading into the hallway was ajar. 

Vivian held Jamie, who looked scared. The two wolves stood next to them. Joyce ran her hand down her face. 

“Long day, huh?” Shadowbent said, his bones cracking as he transformed back into his more human-like form. He was still a wolf-man, but she could make out human features. She tiredly nodded. 

Jamie pushed past Vivian and hugged Joyce. She held her son close to her. 

“We’ll save Sophie, right? Nothing bad will happen to her?” 

“Of course.” 

She looked up to Mary, who nodded. 

“How do we do this?” Joyce said. She was sitting on the couch, with Jamie leaning against her. He’d fallen asleep quickly. Vivian looked tired as well, opting to lean against the couch’s arm. Andy stood, looking out the window into the night. 

Shadowbent sat across from her, watching as Jamie stirred and murmured something in his sleep. 

“Knowing the Storyteller,” Mary started, “she’ll bring Sophie to the Moon.” 

“The Moon?” Andy asked, turning to the conversation. 

“Yes.” Mary nodded. “He is their benefactor. The spirit who is inhabiting my brother’s body was close to the Moon. So, she is as well.”

Joyce mulled this over. 

“We have to get her back. Let’s go.” 

Mary shook her head.

“Not tonight. I’m sorry, I know how important it is to get her back. But you all are tired. It would be a waste to go now.” 

Joyce frowned. 

“She’s my daughter. She’s two! You can’t-“ 

“Joyce,” Mary interrupted. “Look at you. Look at your siblings. Look at your son. It is time to rest. In the morning, we will go after them. I will teach you to hone your talents. Until then, you have to sleep.” 

“Sorina and I will keep watch,” Shadowbent said. “They surprised us before, but we will not let it happen again. Rest now, and we will make sure nothing happens tonight.” 

Joyce nodded. It made logical sense. Something in her broke as she thought about how she was abandoning her daughter. She was so little, so trusting… 

She looked down at Jamie, running her fingers through his hair. His eyes fluttered open, staring up at her. 

“Let’s get you to bed, yeah?” 

She stared up at the ceiling, noting the holes which let light in. This place was a biohazard. She sighed, looking across the room at the sleeping forms of her family. 

Blue light seeped through her arms, glowing at her fingertips. She stared at it, wiggling her fingers experimentally. 

If Mary was to be believed, then she was a witch. 

Sure. This is her life now. Everything else was crazy, so why not? 

Shadowbent walked over to her, sitting down on the floor next to her. 

“It feels strange, doesn’t it?” He whispered. 

“Yeah. I feel it pulsing through me like my heartbeat.” The wolfman nodded. 

“I remember when I first transformed. I hope you have a better transition than I did.” Joyce nodded, looking down at her hands. The light dimmed, almost disappearing entirely. 

“I need her to be safe,” she murmured. “I failed.” 

Shadowbent shook his head. 

“No. You didn’t. You try your best. You had every odd stacked against you.” 

Joyce glanced over to Jamie. 

“You killed…” 

“I know. I apologize for that. He wanted to kill you.” 

Joyce nodded. Shadowbent smiled and got up. 

“Try and get some sleep, Joyce. You have a long day tomorrow.”
