#Terwilliger Family

[sideshowrita]

Yaaay!! My cookie wookie

[misstictart]

Alright, if I'm not mistaking, hopefully I'll have answered everything in eight parts (EDIT: nope, nine!)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 - You're here! Part 7 Part 8 Part 9

In the meantime, here are the next two questions!

24 – Aside from their home, is there a specific place in Springfield where your OC likes to spend time?

As I said earlier, she stays at her flat most of the time- it's her literal comfort zone. BUT when she has the energy to spend some time out on her own, you'd likely find her chilling in the café Kafka, a small coffeehouse of Springfield where students of Springfield usually hang out. For Claryce the place is relatively calm, she likes the atmosphere and also enjoys the poetry performances hosted once in a while. This is the best place to enjoy a latte or to bring her laptop for some light freelancing work. If not, you could also find her reading at the public library, or spending some time at the Arcade, secretly beating some high scores... She's especially good at DDR and rhythm games!

28 – Is your OC married? What’s their stance on marriage?

[Consider this answer as an AU- nothing is set in stone and is this part is more likely to change as the episodes go!] She's not married in the present timeline, and she never got married before her relationship with Bob- be it the first or the second. And to be frank, she never felt the need to marry nor fantasized about it. It's lovely, it's romantic, yes, but it looks so stressful to organize and oh gosh so EXPENSIVE.

It's true the thought of marriage did come to her mind the moment she definitely got closer to Bob, and she wouldn't refuse should he propose to her, but it never felt like a priority to her.

However, in the story I've pictured so far, Bob is the one troubled about it. I have this episode idea in mind where he tries to propose to her. At first it would be a purely comical episode, where it would feel like the world is against him: the Simpson family (or other characters) almost spoiling the surprise, the engagement ring missing for some reason... And eventually would come the perfect time to propose. No one to bother them, the perfect setting, all he needs is to get her attention and put a knee down, and yet. He can't bring himself to do it. (What if things would go downhill the moment they married? What if karma made it that after finally getting back with Claryce and marrying her, the Simpsons would (accidentally or not) ruin it? What if his constant plots, schemes and arrests made too absent for her to bear and would lead to yet another divorce?...)

Despite being a master at masking his emotions - his good acting being a blessing or a curse at times - Claryce would still notice something is wrong. Cue a heartfelt conversation in which she'd tell him there's no rush- and that she'd always be there should be feel ready for it.

It would be a turning point in their relationship. Bob isn't used to be the one needing reassurance - let alone show a hint of vulnerability - but he'd find great comfort in knowing Claryce won't pressure nor berate him. Be it about his ordeals or his concerns regarding their relationship.

Now, to answer the question "will they marry, though", well, not in the show's present timeline. Their main dynamic revolves around Claryce's denial, then her attempts of secrecy when she gets to date him again. Having them marry right away would ruin this energy - just like solving everything in Springfield would bring the show itself to its conclusion.

Still... "Future" episodes are a thing, so I like to imagine an episode where it would be implied that Claryce married Sideshow Bob later on (with hints such as her being called "Mrs Terwilliger", for example), yet the wedding ceremony itself wouldn't be pictured or shown.

...

Anyway. A few days ago it was my birthday, and I felt like treating myself, so. Here is a drawing to compensate the previous angst. ♥

Carla Lassen (The Simpsons Oc)

Carla Judith Lassen is the daughter of Jack Lassen and Jennifer Terwilliger, granddaughter of Judith Underdunk and Dr. Robert Terwilliger, Senior. She’s also the niece of Sideshow Bob and Cecil Terwilliger, and cousin of Gino Terwilliger.

Before she was born, her father Jack Lassen and Jennifer Terwilliger met when they were teenagers at high school and they hit off right away before they left university on their graduation to discover that Jennifer was pregnant and they raised their daughter until her mother left the family when Carla was only 3.

Carla didn’t know her mom’s family until she was 9 when she and her dad goes to Springfield Elementary School due to her dad’s redemption when, really, it just to revenge Bart Simpson for humiliated at Blazing Guy Festival. She was a new student at the school assembly with her hair tied up in a bun before Bart threw a pie at her that was meant to be for Principal Skinner. At first she was humiliated, but then she smiled as everyone laughed which made her feel comfortable until Krusty the Clown asked her who she was and she revealed it all when Krusty noticed that her eyes were similar blue colour like her mom. Everyone discovered that she was the niece of Sideshow Bob but he and the family claimed that they didn’t know Carla’s existence until Jack Lassen explained to them about his relationship with Jennifer before she disappeared.

(Just a little spoiler part one)

29th of April 1959

The stars were out tonight that sparkled and shine over the city of the unknown state because we were in the countryside of America where farmers were doing their jobs for giving folks some food and water and warmth. (I mean, this is the different time in the different place, after all.)

Somewhere in the countryside of America, a 8-year-old boy Cecil Terwilliger was laying down on the grass with his 17-year-old brother Bob Terwilliger as they watched the stars together while their mother Judith Underdunk was going on labour in the barn after the rest of their family had no idea that she was pregnant again.

“Why the sky so dark?” Cecil asked curious.

“Hmm, because it’s nighttime.” Bob replied, “Nighttime means way past your bedtime.”

“Why are the stars so bright?” Cecil asked again.

“So everyone could watch them when they are bored,” Bob replied.

“Why are people yellow and sometimes brown?” Cecil asked.

“It’s the way God made them,” Bob replied.

“Why the grass so soft?” Cecil asked.

“It’s depends on how season goes for the grass to be soft or hard,” Bob said while rolling his eyes. “And now, I have a question for God; Why did we have to travel all the way here when our mother goes labour and there’s no hospital here?!”

“I have a question for God, too.” Cecil replied, “Where do the babies come from?”

“I think you’ll find out when you grow up,” Bob replied.

“Why not now?” Cecil asked, raising his eyebrow.

“Trust me, you don’t wanna know.” Bob replied.

~~~

Meanwhile, Robert Terwilliger was holding his baby girl in his arms as he couldn’t believe what he and his wife Judith were sharing this moment.

The baby girl was a strong one with a mix of ginger and red curly hair that looked similar to her older brothers and her mother, blue sapphire eyes just her deceased grandmother Victoria Terwilliger and a little bit of freckles. She came to the world with a strong cry with a hint of giggle and she was already strong enough to grab hold on her father’s finger.

“I can’t believe she had your mother’s eyes, son.” Eric Terwilliger, Robert’s father, replied, “If only she could see her granddaughter now…”

“What really surprised me that she came to the world unannounced, as if she was waiting to come to see her family.” Judith smiled with a tired sigh, “She’s a strong woman who just couldn’t wait any longer.”

“Indeed,” George Knight, Victoria Terwilliger’s father, replied. “My Vicky gave us a blessing to the family.”

“Yes, a blessing!” Richard Terwilliger, Robert’s grandfather, cried out in joy. “Wait until the boys get a closer look at the little bundle.”

“How am I supposed to tell my parents?” Judith suddenly remembered that her parents wanted to her to have two children and not a third one.

“I’ll explain to them,” Robert said while the baby girl looking around and tried to reach out to her mother who gave her a pink pacifier to suck with it.

Then, Bob and Cecil came to the barn and saw their baby sister.

“Ah, boys!” Richard smiled. “Come and see your baby sister!”

Cecil came closer to his baby sister while looked at him curiously, she then tried to reach out to her older brother in front of him.

“So…” Cecil spoke, “When will I play with her?”

Richard chuckled, “She’s just born 15 minutes ago. I’m sure you’ll be able to play with her for the next few weeks time.”

“Would you two like to hold your baby sister?” Judith asked.

“Yes, please!” Cecil smiled and carefully holding his baby sister, “Hello. I’m your big brother Cecil and this is our big brother Bob, you came to the world with a big smile on your cute face. Man, I’m jealous that you have a smile like that. And don’t worry about what the people will say about you, me and Bob will look after you and teach you everything we know.”

The baby girl looked at Cecil before her eyes were on Bob and tried to reach out to his big red hair.

“Oh, I don’t think so.” Bob said, “Last time I hold a baby, he yanked the heck out of my hair.”

“By he, as in me?” Cecil asked while moving his baby sister closer to Bob, knowing well what Bob meant.

“You know what I mean…” Bob said before he realised that the baby was gently grabbing his hair and stroking it smoothly. “Huh?”

The baby just smile through her pacifier and Bob took her from Cecil in his arms, they both looked at each other for a while before she nuzzled against his chest that made him feel so warm with a smile.

“What’s her name going to be?” Cecil asked his parents.

“We haven’t thought about what her name is going to be,” Judith replied.

“I think I know,” Robert replied. “I thought we could name her Mona. But maybe we’d call her Jennifer Victoria Terwilliger.”

Eric looked at his son, “You’re putting your mother’s name on your daughter?”

“Yes, Jennifer Victoria Terwilliger…” George said, “And we can nickname her Jenny. Just like we name my daughter Vicky.”

“Ah, little Jenny…” Richard spoke before looking at the baby and eyes widened, “What the…?”

“What?” George asked before looking at Jennifer, “Oh… Oh, that little mischief bundle. Mooning at us already, are you?” He smiled at her mischief moments.

“George,” Judith spoke while raising her eyebrow. “Newborns don’t moon at people.”

“Well, this one might.” Bob replied, and he was right that Jennifer was indeed mooning at Richard and George who giggled.

~~~

Later that night, while everyone was asleep, Jennifer was gazing at the stars as she was wide awake with curiosity and smile at the moon gleaming over her.

This little bundle had a huge road ahead of her, and she was going to have a big adventure yet.

[faline-cat444]

I'm guessing when Marge was Sideshow during the unseen adventures in the episode Manjula gave birth to the octuplets she had to wear a coconut bra since this was pretty much the uniform.We know she wore the bone in her hair but details are back-and-forth on that.Sometimes it's viewed as something Krusty demands,but also has been a trademark of Mel's family similar to Van Houtens and Smithers' genetics(Technically the entire history of Springfield ancestry more-or-less).

I think I also once had to work with direct mail being sent to the part of Oregon Matt Groening apparently grew up in.I say that because one of the addresses was on Terwilliger and at one point in an interview or some other special he did mention some of the character last names were just taken from the street signs he often drove by.

Find the Word

I was tagged by @tales-from-nocturnaliss and you can find her post here!

Rules: scour your writings and Find the Word!

Words I was given: Beloved, Silence, Mourning, Star 🖤🖤🖤 <<Beloved>> (Robert Terwilliger x OC) For the past two weeks, Robert had walked with her down the slope and parted ways at the parking lot. To have that gone made the wind blow colder at her side.

Past her beloved garden, the night seemed heavier, oppressively blotting out the streetlights. Still, she tried to shake off the ominous feeling as she reached into her bag for her newest read. She past the corner of the library, then stopped when someone caught her eye. Though his face was covered in darkness, his eyes glinted oddly like two glowing pinpricks.

"Lilith," he said, voice haggard and thick. "Mason?" she asked. "What are you doing here?" "I needed to see you."

He stepped closer, and she shuddered at his appearance. His sallow skin brought out his bloodshot and bagged eyes. His once kempt face was dotted with rough and sandpapery stubble.

"What do you mean?" she asked, her voice quivering, legs frozen to the spot. "I really like you, Lilith. But you keep rejecting me over and over, and I don't know why. But that guy—that felon? You and him together—" Mason grabbed the sides of his head like the very idea of it caused him pain. "It's so frustrating!"

<<Silence>> (Ominis Gaunt x OC) "Don't sympathize with me!" He snapped. "I don't deserve it! I purposefully hurt those people; I wanted them to suffer so I didn't have to! And my family and I tortured them ruthlessly—we destroyed them! They were tortured and killed all because I wouldn't stop my family. Their blood is on my hands!" He hugged himself, shuddering and trembling. His breathing hiccuped as his sobs broke through. "I'm such a coward…"

Credence didn't register that she'd gotten up until after she embraced Ominis. He turned to face her, his arms around her waist and back. She comforted him in silence. In his state, she didn't think any words could help, so she let him cry, sure from the intensity that he'd been holding onto his guilt for many years. She understood the lament in his tears, the horrible bleeding wounds being strong brought. The sound of it made her own wounds open as she cried quietly alongside him.

<<Mourning>> (Legend of Zelda) Ozavo leapt at Link, fist clenched as his other hand snatched Link's shirt. "What the hell is wrong with you!? You killed him!" Link held his eyes shut tight, trying to block out the horrible vision of Alfonse's blood on his hands. "Ozavo, stop!"

But the Rito didn't listen to Neeko. His fist bashed Link's face, once, twice, three times. Agony shocked his senses, but the pain by Ozavo's hands was nothing in comparison.

Ozavo wasn't finished. "I'll kick your ass! I'll–I'll–!!"

Link hit the ground with Ozavo on top of him. Punch after punch battered his face and jaw. He had no will to stop Ozavo. Why should he? Why should he, when he deserved it.

The beating stopped. Link opened his eyes to see Neeko holding onto Ozavo's arm, tears rolling down both of their faces.

"Stop it," Neeko pleaded. "This isn't what Alfonse wanted. He was being controlled by Ganondorf. Link didn't want to—" "Shut up," Ozavo spat, voice cracking. "You think I don't know that!? You think I can just let it go!?"

Hot tears burned across Link's wounds. The face of his friend as his life drained away had dug itself deep into his memory. He felt Ozavo and Neeko's pain. And he sobbed just as much as they did. Ozavo collapsed with his face in Link's shoulder, mourning the loss of their friend.

<<Star>> (Butch DeLoria x OC) "Sorry," she said preemptively as she typed up her password, "it's a little messy."

The door slid open revealing the piles of books she left on the kitchen table. Even on the couch, a place where she was supposed to relax, gave away signs of her obsession with space: rolled up charts, textbooks, and a clay model of the moon half-finished with a few craters and lack of paint. She headed straight for the kitchen to get some food ready for them.

"Man, you really are into space," he said, gazing now at her ceiling whereupon she hung her previously made sun and several clay asteroids. "It's so cool," she said, crushing the packet of mac n cheese in her grip to avoid spewing too many space facts. Butch shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so. Black holes are pretty cool." "I love black holes," she said, grinning wide as she poured water into her pan. "The way that a star can get so dense after its inevitable supernova— um, well, yeah. It's neat."

She held her breath. Please stop talking… When Butch didn't respond, she resumed breathing. 🖤🖤🖤 Yet again, I have no one to tag that Nocturnaliss didn't already tag, but wanted to join in the game anyway. If you see this and want to join, your words are:

Here’s a really old drawing my fan family I made for Bob. Here’s some info.

Helen Chen: She’s a Chinese-American.  She and Bob used to be childhood friends, back in elementary school. They became High-School “sweethearts, later on. They went their separate ways, when they went to different colleges. But, they met again, when Bob got out of jail and vowed to be an “upstanding” citizen. They married, a year, later. She can be a little “snarky” sometimes.

Aimee: She’s Helen’s 7 year old daughter. She doesn’t know much about her real dad, but sees Bob as a Father figure to her. She’s not a fan of clowns, but is a huge Krusty the Clown fan. She probably has more merchandise than Bart. She loves when Bob gives her “piggyback” rides.

Roger: Bob and Helen’s one year old son. He has red hair like his dad. Just not in the same hair-style. He’s very intelligent for his age. He’s best friends with Maggie Simpson.

Cho-Cho: A “Pedigree” Chow-Chow. He’s the Terwilliger family pet. His favorite pastimes are staring at Bob, rolling around on the couch, and chewing on Bob’s shoes.

If anyone wants to draw Bob with them, feel free.

What Is The Chateau?

The Chateau, or the ChateauVerse, is an urban fantasy, or rather suburban fantasy, world created by me. I made this blog so I would have an easier time sticking to this world, as my ADHD brain tends to fly off randomly.

Anyway, let's start with the history of the universe's namesake, the Chateau itself.

You see, there used to be an old magical family called the Terwilligers. They were very proud of their mastery of magic and did not want to mingle with the magically-ignorant populace. As such, they took great measures to keep themselves hidden, mostly by using enchantments to hide their grand estates.

This desire to avoid dealing with The Plebians lead them to settle in the fictional town of Maple Creek, Massachusetts. Maple Creek, as the name implies, was known for its magnificent maple trees– trees tall enough to hide their Chateau with only a little help from plant magic.

In addition to mundane protections, such as its location and the giant stone wall surrounding the mansion, many enchantments were cast to hide the Chateau. One warped space around the property so it could only be entered from one direction. Another messed with perception so that the road to the Chateau looked as uninteresting as possible. A third altered memory, making it hard to remember the Chateau existed. The only way around these enchantments was to have Terwilliger blood or possess a certain rune.

However, the Terwilligers met their end just after the American Civil War when Bartholomew Terwilliger, a traveler, returned home carrying the Weeping Plague. It's a horrible magical illness that causes the infected to cry their own blood out. They slowly died one by one, for even with their pride and elitism, they did not want to risk exposing anyone else to the plague. The last Terwilliger, Cornelius, instructed Fortescue, the family golem, to cast a spell that would disintegrate the dead bodies after he died, in order to be absolutely sure the plague would spread no further.

Fortescue, not knowing what else to do, remained in the Chateau for many decades, hoping that someone would find him and give him a purpose again.

And eventually, that day came. A little girl named Mary Anne Eason had a Gift that made her ignore all forms of magical mind manipulation. Thus, along with her friend Jenny Garrand, she was able to discover the Chateau, Fortescue, and the supernatural world as a whole.

After reading the books in the Chateau's library and learning both the wonder and the danger of the world of magic, Mary Anne and Jenny decided to form a secret society dedicated to keeping an eye on anything magical. The girls had many friends from many walks of life due to their various little "adventures" so it wasn't hard to find people with the right skillsets for the job.

Thus, the Society of the Supernatural was born.

I think I'll leave it here for now, since this post is getting kind of long. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about this world!

[luckyknucklehead]

[sideshowrita]

I don't know what went wrong in my head that made me draw this shit 🥲☠️

[misstictart]

Curious to see what a genderswapped Claryce would look like if you're comfortable with the idea? :]

Say hi to Clarence, a nervous French teacher working at Springfield Elementary School (who sometimes does extra hours at the library)! It was very fun to figure out his design. :) ...But wait, there's more!

Clarence Whitman / Enzo D'Amico

I started to brainstorm a bit how the story would go with him- and whether his parents would be genderswapped or not, they'd fight over him. The D'Amicos would want him to carry the Mob's legacy while the Whitmans would want him to join the armed forces to fight for the country like they always did. Clarence tried both, saw the horrors and fled to study what he loved more than anything else: the art of literature and languages! He's completely broke by the time he returns to Springfield (living with the Whitmans was an absolute no) but the familia doesn't let him down and rent him a flat in exchange of which he'll work as a barman in the Legitimate Businessman's Social Club. He's not a big fan, but at least he has got somewhere to live... and he doesn't have to directly deal with his family's affairs.

If only the person with who he'd fall head over heels for wasn't a criminal to begin with... Wait a minute.

As I couldn't decide whether to go with a full genderswap!cast or just genderswap!Claryce when speaking of relationships, I drew both options.

Option 1 - Clarence and Bob

The relationship dynamic is reversed - while Clarence isn't too worried dating Bob (considering he saw worse), Bob would have trouble admitting he's in a relationship with another man due to his awful Republican standards. :') It's especially ironic when everyone is already quite aware of their relationship - but Clarence knows that Bob does genuinely care for him. He just needs time.

Fun fact: Bob would call Clarence "kitten" because his badly shaved mustache look like cat whiskers. Just figured you should know.

Option 2 - Clarence and Berthe

Now say hi to my version of genderswap!Bob: Roberta Terwilliger aka Sideshow Berthe! I thought it would be fun to design while I was brainstorming ideas for Clarence's relationship...

Same dynamic as Claryce and Bob, except Clarence hesitates because he thinks he's clearly out of her league. Thankfully, Berthe is morosexual and Clarence is only book smart./pos

Good Worldbuilding Shoutout #1

This is my first post on trying to highlight good examples of worldbuilding! Whether it be because of unique ideas, excellent and easy-to-read formatting, entrancing prose, or imaginative art—I want to share the good worldbuilding that this community has to offer!

The Chateau – The Chateau is an urban fantasy world that revolves around the history of the Terwilliger family, a magical clan that settled in Maple Creek, Massachusetts. They used enchantments and magical protections to hide their grand estate, the Chateau, from the general population. However, the family met their demise when Bartholomew Terwilliger returned home carrying a deadly magical illness called the Weeping Plague. The last surviving Terwilliger, Cornelius, instructed the family golem, Fortescue, to dispose of the bodies and remained in the Chateau for many years. Eventually, two girls named Mary Anne Eason and Jenny Garrand discovered the Chateau and formed the Society of the Supernatural, a secret society dedicated to monitoring magical activity. A post I really like of their take on Vampirism in The Chateau! Their character profiles are really nice too, so @worldofthechateau is definitely worth keeping an eye on if you enjoy some "suburban fantasy"!

Tales of the Everlands – A blog dedicated to the worldbuilding and story of their custom D&D world, Everlands is something I'm really looking forward to seeing more of. Though there are only a handful of posts right now, I really enjoyed them enough to say it's good worldbuilding! I liked The Everlands - Gods and Magic. I really cool read about the history and origins of the gods in The Everlands. @tales-of-the-everlands is something to keep an eye on!

Nerath – Based on D&D 4e, Nerath is a really interesting homebrew world! One of my favorite posts is Geography: Sarkhaen Tair, Part 2. I just really like the formatting. It's a lot of text, but the images break it up nicely! I especially like the simplicity of the population and economic stats, I think it helps to give a really well-rounded idea of the city. @nerath-mp is worth checking out if you enjoy D&D-based campaign setting with some substantial and interesting changes!

Please check these blogs out, they deserve it!
