#With names like Minerva and Gemma

[smok3inm1rrors]

Another Charm ancestor because why not.

Arielle Lunvik, younger sister to Sylvester. Died under mysterious circumstances in 1965 out near Moonwood Mill while studying the area's strange effect on magic users. Darrel is named after her and she looks a whole hell of a lot like Gemma. I created Sylvester's parents by hand using him as a base and then her and their two other siblings with the pacifier (that's what it's called in ts2, what's it called in ts4, the genetic make kid button?) and she came out looking, well like this. I did a few tweaks on her, but was pleasantly surprised on how she turned out.

You get two photos because I love her profile.

Embers Academy Spellcasting Tournament: Potions (Group 4)

potion challenge group 1, group 2, group 3

rules:

everyone's needs are locked. i don't want anyone to be at a disadvantage because they got stuck in simulation lag or spent all their time in bathroom line with other 31 people

they have 12 hours to learn 3 potions through practice. for each potion learned they get 24 points, plus 1 point for each full half an hour left after the last learned potion

autonomy is off, but if someone decides to leave their cauldron for whatever reason, i let them finish that action that distracted them before returning them to the task. their fault if they're easily distracted, a spellcaster must have patience and grit

the fourth group: Walpurgis Valborg, Alessio Skint, Raelyn Luna, Daliah Noir, Dax Sommer, Cassie Bautista, Gemma Charm, Aurelius Borealis

the class started with one empty cauldron and realizing that grandpa is missing. after looking for him everywhere, we found out that he married minerva charm (and for some reason the two of them decided to become homeless together, but that is beside the point). now let it sink... he'll be dueling his new stepdaughter

he regularly took breaks to wander around aimlessly with no task in mind, peeked in alessio's potion, and had paranoid episodes for no reason

speaking of his new stepdaughter, here's gemma (and glenn as an ingredient in her cauldron... eh, he'll be fine, it's not actually boiling, he just likes being chaotic). she learned a potion named "forced friendship". probably because of a friend as an ingredient.

poor walpurgis didn't have a great day and scored zero... either alchemy isn't her thing, or she was too stressed about other things. she also crushed on ayrin (ayrin is quite a heartthrob!) and later on aurora

dax is such a pure soul, they spent time before the competition watering plants and picking up bins

daliah got tired of stirring by hand

raelyn had a support group

cassie was doing what everyone was doing, but she kept getting apples and frogs and herbs all the time, and i couldn't figure out why, but now she has apples and frogs

alessio just decided to make mac and cheese because why not

results:

aurelius and raelyn - learned three potions each. raelyn understandably, but how did grandpa manage to pull that off?

cassie, daliah and dax - learned two potions each, plus cassie has a lot of apples. and frogs.

gemma - learned one potion, but a unique one, no one else learned it. it doesn't score more points, but it's definitely something to be proud of

alessio - also learned one potion, but he has a whole cauldron of mac and cheese instead of boring potions. priorities.

walpurgis - was too busy crushing on girls and holding grudges and didn't learn anything :(

You asked I deliver 🫡🫡 (also, I can definitely see this becoming a series so, let’s name this part 2! - if you’re looking for the series as a whole, go under the tag “moony quidditch commentator” on my profile <3)

Remus: Welcome, Welcome everyone to our semi-final!! That opening performance was absolutely incredible, another round of applause to our dancers!

Remus: Now, this is a special game since we have two houses that have been spectacular this year. Let’s all cheer for them really loudly today, yeah?

Remus: Alright, seems like Ravenclaw is getting to their positions, although they should probably be getting ready to be absolutely destroyed.

Minerva: Mr. Lupin.

Remus: Sorry Minnie

Remus: AND THERE THEY ARE!!! SIRIUS AND JAMES TAKE THE PITCH WITH THE ABSOLUTELY BEST PLA-

Minerva: REMUS.

Remus: Sorry sorry!! OH AND THERE WE GO! THE MATCH HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!

Remus: Gryffindor immediately gets ahead, with the amazingly new captain, James Potter! He had definitely earned the title with the great season he had this year. Potter passes the quaffle to Sirius, who looks great in the new uniform by the way.

Peter (that works with the sound system by Remus’ side): Merlin, Remus, focus on the game and less on your ugly boyfriend

Remus: He’s not my boyfriend, and I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that, wormy

Remus: The incredible player Sirius Black moves forward and- SCORES THE FIRST POINTS OF THE MATCH WITH AN AMAZING THROW!

Peter (laughing at Remus’ excitement): Calm down moony

Remus: Now Ravenclaw gets ahold of the quaffle, Gemma moving pretty quickly through the defenses, she goes for the point and- FUMBLES LIKE WORMTAIL TRYING TO CATCH A CHOCOLATE FROG!

Peter: HEY!

Minerva: Mr. Lupin, you better behave or I’ll have to replace you.

Remus: We both know you could never, you love me too much for that, Minnie!

Minerva: For Merlin’s sake, get your eyes in the game

Peter: Notice she said game, not Sirius

Remus: That was homophobic.

Tournament

For @adelarsims event.

Okay, I didn't bring the guy first, like was planned, but I still took the leap of faith as recommended. So, after silent first year in the community I am ready to introduce the two young participants of the tournament.

Is she li'l or is he tall? Yes.

Although… Miss Gemma Charm needs no introduction. The youngest daughter of the Charm family, an ancient magical lineage, she is set to make her 16th birthday debut at this year's magical tournament.

Traits: Goofball, Art Lover (+Creative and Perfectionist with mod). Aspiration: Spellcraft & Sorcery (in this family she had no choice, to be honest). Skills: Charisma, Comedy, Logic, Mischief, Painting. Likes (in the game process): Pranks, painting, comedy, new age, argumentative sims, silly behavior. Dislikes: Fitness, egoistical sims.

Her mother Minerva Charm is a powerful and respected witch, her brother Darrell is a famous duelist, she herself has been reminded of who she is almost every day since childhood - all of this is definitely exerting some pressure on the young witch, especially now. Oh, the status obliges.

It's no wonder that behind her carefree facade, Gemma is secretly afraid of not living up to the high expectations of her family and the magical community.

And perhaps the big event would have been an equally grandiose nervous breakdown and she would have given up before it even began if it wasn’t for Glenn O'Malley.

Gemma's stubborn and unpredictable school friend simply stated: "It's dangerous to go alone, take this! And by “this”, I mean “me”. Eh, shut up, Gem, that's not a suggestion, but a declaration."

Traits: Mean, Erratic (+Hot-headed and Loyal with mod). Aspiration: Renaissance Sim. Skills: Dancing, Writing, Painting, Mischief, Fitness. Likes: Red color, funny sims, writing, dancing, gemology, potty humor. Dislikes: Complains, physical intimacy, discussing hobbies, ginger hair (yeah, actually his own hater #1).

You might be a tough street guy, who dare not be teased for an old-fashioned name or anything else, but if your friend wants an one paired outfit for an important event and gain access to your face with her questionable makeup skills… okay then. But just one!

But who the hell is he and what happened?

To be honest, he wasn't even a spellcaster until recently: just a rather unpleasant person who, nonetheless, cared deeply for his small circle of people important to him.

And Glenn got used to the fact that usually in their duo, he was the always annoyed (and annoying) creature with a short temper, but not Gemma. And this time it was hard for him to say "okay, keep your little secrets."

Of course, his friend always had some weird secrets, but she never was so tense and blue because of it. And it was going on for a while, so…

He was smart enough to put together a certain number of details into a whole picture and crazy enough not to try and rationalize the strange result, but just to test the theory.

And a month before the tournament, he met Gemma in the magical dimension with the words "don't you want to tell me something at least now, girl?"

Does Glenn have decent magical skills? Not yet.

Does he have decent physical form and the ability to improvise and adapt skills from one area of ​​knowledge to an unrelated one, compensating for his lack of experience or tools, without worrying about how strange or contradictory it looks? Hell yes.

A guy with the behavior of a delinquent and dirty mouth of a sailor but the cultural background of artsy kid and vocabulary of a poet, he once applied his many years of dancing experience to the football field (also for another favorite person btw), developing unexpected tactics to deal with his opponents.

What will he come up with for magic? Who knows.

Anyway, now it's not so scary to be ashamed together, right? Maybe two Neophytes with a couple of entry-level spells, a pack of cheap cigarettes, creative brains and pockets full of love for shenanigans won't win, but now it's going to be a fun adventure.

(At least for them: this duo of unruly teens can’t vouch for those who meet on their way, oops).

[simulation-machine]

I love literally every single townie from the Realm of Magic game pack, even if the world was waaaay too small and the builds were trash. The Charm family is no different. I have played and replayed and had these characters pop up as important side characters in so many saves. So in this I’ll talk about what I usually do with them, and what I’m doing differently (if anything). If reading lots of words is not your jam, feel free to skip since it’s allll head-canon from here. Minerva: Look, she’s old af. She’s gonna die. I try to give her at least one grandchild before she officially bites it, and the first girl Emilia and Darrel have gets named after her. She’s still gonna die and the first girl will be named for her, but this time she’s going to be an absolute jerk. She’s going to be strict with both of her children, pushing them to do better, and she’s going to be really unimpressed with poor Emilia, who is new to magic and doesn’t come from an illustrious family. Then she dies and everyone is at first like “WHEW okay thank god” but then quickly devolves into aimless chaos without somebody always yelling at them to do stuff.  Gemma: For some reason, even though Darrel is older she gets listed right after her mom. Anyways, Gemma is gay. Before we got werewolves she got with Darling Walsh. Once we got the wolves, she got with Rory Oaklow every time because Rory is hot. They usually just adopt kids once they hit the Adult life stage, but this time they’ll probably have two science babies to see which occult genes win out. They live in Moonwood Mill because Gemma doesn’t like being in the Charm estate after her mom dies. Darrel: Maxis has done few sims dirtier than they did Darrel. And look, I am totally chill with goofy looking sims, I really am. But I’m supposed to believe that he somehow scored cutie-patootie Emilia and looked like that? I mean I guess Emilia isn’t a shallow girl but come on now. So he got a makeover that still kept some crucial features (lips, jawline, chin, cheeks, purple eyes). He even still got a big nose. He just looks less yikes to me because his eyes got switched up and his nose is less wtf. People can fight me on this, that’s fine. He was inspired by my mental image of High Lord of the Spring Court Tamlin from ACOTAR. ANYWAYS. Before I just decided to change his appearance (which I was opposed to do despite haaaaating his face), he used to die after ensuring at least one normal looking kid, usually from overcharge after dueling with L. Faba. That’s all he did. Now that he’s prettier, he gets to live on. Emilia: Initially, she bugged me. Her only flaw is clumsiness and she’s set up to be this try-hard in a fancy family of magical prowess, influence, and wealth. But then I gave her and Darrel a troubled and passionate relationship. After his mother’s death, he got addicted to dueling as a way to cope and was not paying attention to his magical charge. He and Emilia fought over it a bunch. Finally he promised to stop and does better, they have a kid (or another kid if they already had one), and then he starts sneaking out at night to duel again. He gets killed by L. Faba, and Emilia goes through a deep depression that takes her years to recover from. After that, she and Simeon Silversweater hook up and he becomes a step-dad. She has more kids with him. What will change is that Darrel isn’t going to die, and I might find a way to make Minerva live a bit longer to be more of a thorn in her DiL’s side. Idk.

Featured Father - Darrel Charm

Darrel is a townie that came with a family that does have some history I've added to. The Charm family has produced generations of distinguished Spellcasters, as Minerva often reminds her children. Gemma resents her family's high expectations even though she secretly wants to make them proud. Darrel is an aspiring duelist who just got engaged to Emilia Ernest, a newly ascended Spellcaster who has a lot to live up to. Darren and Mckenna had a quick affair and never saw each other again. Sometime after Darren was born, Darrel had another son named Bennett with Emilia. Darrel and Emilia never actually got married. The whole Charm family has died of old age. None of them were able to be put in the cemetery.

Darrel:

His traits are: Bookworm, Hot Headed & Snob

His aspiration is: Soulmate

He is the father to Letter D - Darren

He is also the father to Bennett Ernest

He is the grandfather to Sarah Ernest, Nawwaf Ernest, Kailey Lew and Letter Y - Yandy

Gemma:

Her traits are: Art lover & Goofball

Aspiration: Spellcraft & sorcery

At start of game is a teenager

Minerva:

Her traits are: Self Assured, Bookworm & family oriented

Her aspiration is: Nerd brain

Child's Corner

Darren was the 4th child born to McKenna Lew. He was provided a happy childhood. He officially became a spellcaster like his father's side of the family when he became a teenager. He has never really practiced his magic much though. When he graduated high school he moved in with a character I made named Mollie Gordon. He really wanted to be with Mollie so he was heartbroken when he came home and walked in on Mollie in bed with his brother Ezra. It put a rift between the brothers and they haven't spoken since. Darren and Ezra switched living situations at that point and Darren ended up living with Alice and her kids. He's still living there. He started dating some guy named Jean but they don't actually like each other much. Their romance bar is high but their friendship bar is a lot of red instead of green. He also recently either adopted a baby or had a science baby but now has a daughter named Kailey.

Darren still looks the same so below is Kailey

[aorticsims]

Gemma now looks her age instead of looking like she’s offering smokes to youngsters outside of Glimmerbrook’s local bar. I imagine she took some of her edgy ideas from her even edgier brother, like her eyebrow piercing and her music taste.

Name: Gemma Charm Pronouns: she/her Age: Teen Life State: Spellcaster Career/Schooling: High school C student, Cheer Team/1 Aspiration: Spellcraft & Sorcery Personality: Knowledge Traits: Cat Lover, Goofball Family: Sister of Darrel Charm, Daughter of Minerva Charm Zodiac: Aries Likes: Mischief, Painting, Purple, Black, Retro Music, Spooky Music, Video Gaming, Fishing, Pet Enthusiasts, Rascals, Idealist Sims, Homebody Sims, Jokes, Pranks, Discussing Hobbies, Compliments, Deception Dislikes: Pop Music, Boho Decor, Orange, High Energy Sims, Potty Humour, Small Talk, Arguments Hobby: Games Skills: Charisma/3, Dancing/2, Logic/2, Mischief/5, Painting/3

HARRY POTTER.

*supporting cast, A-E, all canon is connected

Name: Annalise Willow

Era: Golden Trio

Fic: Bad Decisions (Make the Best Stories)

Love Interest: Booker Mabbitt, Fitz Fitzgerald

Face Claim: Hailee Steinfeld

Summary: Annalise was perfectly content with Booker — he was handsome, and tall, and charming — but when she finds out Fitz had harbored a crush on her for years, she begins to wonder if she made the right choice.

Name: Augustus ‘Auggie’ Scardino

Era: Marauders, Golden Trio

Fic: When the Sun Met the Moon, The Trouble With Weasleys, Mistakes We Knew We Were Making

Love Interest: Dorcas Meadowes, TBD

Face Claim: Milo Ventimiglia

Summary: Auggie had had far too much tragedy in his life. He’d lost his older brother at a young age to a fatal accident, one he himself had survived. Just ten years later, he lost almost everyone he cared about to the First Wizarding War. With ample survivor’s guilt, he holes up in a shoddy flat in London for years, until his dear friend Arthur Weasley calls him up for help with the war. He almost says no, until he meets the gang of youngsters he’ll be fighting alongside, and finds himself being reminded of his own friends back in the day.

Name: Aurelius Bostwick

Era: Golden Trio

Fic/Series: The Trouble With Weasleys

Love Interest: Charlie Weasley

Face Claim: Robert Sheehan

Summary: Aurelius was a wildcard through and through — always in trouble at school, speaking in riddles and nonsensical sentences, dropping into his friends’ homes unexpectedly. But if there was one thing Aurelius was, it was intuitive. He knew exactly how someone was feeling at first glance, and he knew how Fred Weasley felt about Maisie. However, Aurelius was always one for drama, and there was no way he was going to reveal what he knew until it played out.

Name: Ayla Timmons (later Barker)

Era: Marauders

Fic/Series: When the Sun Met the Moon, The Trouble With Weasleys

Love Interest: Brant Barker

Face Claim: Maisie Peters

Summary: Ayla had been friends with Brant Barker for as long as she could remember, after he knocked the wind out of her on Platform 9 3/4 at the start of their first year. Everyone knew they were meant to be, even Ayla and Brant themselves, but she wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction before he even made the effort to do something about it.

Name: Booker Mabbitt

Era: Golden Trio

Fic: Bad Decisions (Make the Best Stories)

Love Interest: Annalise Willow

Face Claim: Jordan Fisher

Summary: Booker knew he had won at life when he’d snagged himself a catch like Annalise Willow, but he didn’t think it would be so hard to keep her locked down. When Annalise starts to question her feelings for him, he knows exactly who is causing her to do so, and he’ll be damned if he lets it happen.

Name: Brant Barker

Era: Marauders

Fic/Series: When the Sun Met the Moon, The Trouble With Weasleys

Love Interest: Ayla Timmons (though he has hooked up with Gilderoy Lockhart and Sirius Black)

Face Claim: Joe Keery

Summary: Brant knew he was going to marry Ayla Timmons from the moment he saw her. Why even worry about something if you know it’s going to happen anyway? He hadn’t meant to put her on the back burner, but when he ends up too busy playing matchmaker for Iridessa and Remus, Ayla makes it pretty clear that he screwed up.

Name: Celestine Bostwick

Era: Marauders, Golden Trio

Fic/Series: The Trouble With Weasleys

Love Interest: Minerva McGonagall

Face Claim: Holland Taylor

Summary: Celestine was the type of Professor you could go to on her off hours with any sort of problem, or even just for a chat, and she would pour you a cup of tea and listen. She was good at problem solving and always had good words of advice — so why couldn’t she solve any of her own problems?

Name: Dominic D’Angelo

Era: Golden Trio

Fic: Bad Decisions (Make the Best Stories)

Love Interest: Gemma Fitzgerald

Face Claim: Drew Ray Tanner

Summary: Dom really should have known what he was getting into when he became friends with Fitz. He knew Fitz was unpredictable, driven, dumb as all hell, but it hadn’t bothered him until Fitz came up with the terrible plan to fake date Alicia Spinnet. Now he was stuck with another huge secret, and his crush on Fitz’s younger sister Gemma was more than enough.

Name: Elodie Bardot

Era: Golden Trio

Fic/Series: The Trouble With Weasleys

Love Interest: Fred Weasley, Eero Barnaby (@hughstheforcelou)

Face Claim: Kristen Froseth

Summary: Elodie meets Fred for the first time during a fateful encounter at Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor and is instantly smitten. She adores him and his friends, especially Maisie, who she is determined to get close with. Maisie doesn’t make it easy, that’s for sure.

Name: Everard Bostwick-Caulkins

Era: Golden Trio

Fic/Series: The Trouble With Weasleys

Love Interest: Senan Bostwick-Caulkins (@hughstheforcelou)

Summary: Older brother to Aurelius and much more level-headed, Everard is just cruising through life with no worries. He’s wise, he’s curious, and he’s as quick as a whip. Just don’t tell his mum that he, too, loves a bit of mischief every once in a while.

[littlemissnellie]

and since glimmerbrook is such a small world, the only other ea household we have is the charm family! as always, if you’d like to have them in your game then check out the download link below, and if not then i hope that you enjoy finding out a little more about them in their fact files.

download: simfileshare

i hope you’re doing okay! <3

minerva charm:

very studious - she grew up pouring over the magic journals and spell books in the family library and practically takes their words as gospel - her studying days are long gone, but she still finds little things to learn every day and is very keen to keep her brain active 

she loves her children, but she can be pretty tough on them when it comes to their studies - there was a point in her life where she didn’t believe that she would ever get to be a mother, so when she was finally blessed with a child, and then another one, she could hardly believe her luck - but, the pressure to rise to the challenges of motherhood soon began to rear its ugly head, and as a consequence she often found herself coming down rather hard on her children - she always had good intentions; all she ever wanted was for them to be successful, but there have been several times where she’s pushed them too far and has suffered the consequences

part of the pressure she felt as a mother and magic mentor also came from the long history of success in her family - her ancestors excelled in every field of spellcasting and her parents were not about to let her drop the baton - their strict attitudes worked with her and although they’re not around to watch their grandchildren’s progress, she’s determined to turn her students into spellcasters the charm ancestors would be proud of

darrel charm:

definitely the more responsible sibling - it may have something to do with the fact that he’s also the older one of the pair, but it’s probably just due to the fact that he’s a bit of a suck-up - he’s always followed the rules and very rarely stepped out of line, not because he was necessarily scared of authority, just because from an early age he realised that the less he got in trouble, the more lenient his mother was with him

low-key a bit of a know-it-all - gemma hates him for it, but he’s always enjoyed learning (which is one of the many traits he inherited from his mom that seemed to skip gemma) and his brain’s like one big sponge, so he rarely finds himself floundering for an answer in one of their weekly magic tests and the satisfaction that brings him is ridiculous

mostly pretty level-headed, but can get really frustrated with his sister at times - he’s just very protective over those he loves, so when they screw up (which is why it’s usually gemma he gets mad at) he sort of loses it with them - it’s not a very good way to handle situations like that, by any means, but he can never stop himself

emilia ernest:

darrel was her tour guide of the magic realm when she was first introduced to her magical abilities and she spent the entire time gawking at him - she practically had to wipe the drool from her face as he wrapped everything up and escorted her back to her lodgings, only for her to realise that she hadn’t taken in a single thing that he’d said - when she falls for someone, she falls hard, but luckily for her, darrel was just as charming as his name would suggest 

a major klutz - gemma may be the most likely of the trio to get into trouble, but that’s because she’s usually the one creating the trouble - emilia gets herself into a fair few scrapes of her own, but practically all of them are just down to her being so clumsy and forgetful - darrel always jokes that she has a sieve for a brain, which she can’t really argue with tbh

since things started getting more serious with her and darrel and minerva very kindly offered to take over her spellcaster training she’s been super paranoid about nailing her assignments - not only does she feel the pressure from being up against two spellcasters with a lot more experience than her, but there’s also the added pressure of trying to impress her future mother-in-law, who has some pretty high standards

gemma charm:

the troublemaker of the family - you’d think that being the youngest she’d be able to get away with it, but if anything it just makes her mom come down on her harder as far as punishments are concerned - as smart as her mom is though, she has yet to figure out that the more rules she sets for gemma, the more gemma wants to break them...

her ‘troublemaking’ tendencies are never actually meant with ill-intent - yes, she likes causing a bit of a stir, but mostly she’s just a bit of a jokester - she had trouble getting noticed at home with darrel being such a goody-two-shoes, so at school she pulls out all the stops to make sure that she grabs the spotlight for a change

whilst he brother and mom spend most of their time pouring over old spellbooks, the books she always reaches for in the family library are the glimmerbrook legends - not only are the stories ten times more interesting than all those boring potions recipes, the art work they’re filled with is beautiful and she’s been caught doodling her own versions on her assignment sheets more times than she’d care to admit

Griselda’s Story

Part 30

Griselda crashed on the couch watching tv as she could not get herself any further. She was starting to came down hard off the speed trip and it was such a poor dose that her head was just throbbing. “Hey Griselda wake up! Remember you promised a movie with LeeAnne and I before my party.” Griselda looked at her. “Oh right! Happy birthday.” Gemma smiled. “Thanks.” But she could tell she was faking her reply. Gemma was not happy with her at all. Griselda sat up and went over to the chair. She figured if she sat there for a few minutes she would not feel like laying back down and just maybe the room would stop spinning.

Once noon time came the girls went over to LeeAnne place. The girls chatted away about last night. “Oh my gosh did you see some of those guys?” Griselda noticed they directed the question to her. “Oh your talking to me?” LeeAnne looked her up and down. “Griselda are you okay?” Griselda shrugged, “Fine will everyone stop asking me that!” Gemma barked at her. “Really Griselda, no one would ask if you were not snorting some type of white powder up your nose!” LeeAnne face went white from shock! “Much judgement going on here!” I think I will just leave.” LeeAnne grabbed her arm. “Griselda just stay and watch the movie.” She finally started the movie and they stopped talking about last night. “Gemma I am so excited for your party tonight. Being able to dress up and all. It will be so much fun” Gemma smiled. “I am excited to be a young adult and not a teenager anymore.

LeeAnne smiled, “Yes, you are the first one to age before us.” Gemma smiled, “Oh my gosh guess who coming tonight, Ren Ember. I am so excited maybe we will finally get together now since I will not be a teenager.” Griselda started to feel sick to her stomach. “Ren is pretty cute. I know we had a thing once, but I am okay if that is who you want.” Gemma smiled to LeeAnne. “Thanks but it be something right, If we dated.” Griselda got up quickly as she was going to be sick. “Griselda are you okay?” She hurried to the bathroom and was sick. After she was sick she came out. “Are you okay?” Griselda frowned. “I got to go!” She said. Walking out the door as fast as she could.

Griselda was trying to thinking back to when she had sex with Caleb. “I know Caleb and I used protection. It has been awhile since Ren and I have had sex.” Griselda touched her belly, am I pregnant or is it just the drugs. Griselda frowned. “It probably is just the drugs.” She went around the neighbourhood trying to find a new client. It did not take her long and she found a guy. It kept her mind off everything and she was happy to have three clients now. She was hoping to make some extra money this way. The money she had saved is enough for getting her house back and the rest is to just live comfortably. She can not wait to become a young adult and move back to Glimmerbrook back to her home town. It is her main goal and it will finally happen just as soon as she finishes high school. She will live in a two story house plus a witches room in the basement. “I wonder if most of the furniture is still downstairs. She could remember a caldron was down there and so many other things, main things she remember was the beautiful wooden shelves. It is all just old memories now but she can always seem to remember the dark wooden shelves. She was so young but she remember it being a perfect witch layer.

It was birthday party time at the Golden Slipper. When she arrived the place was beautiful. “You guys did an amazing job,” she said to Emilie. “Thank you! This place was just perfect for what we needed.” Griselda got a drink. Caleb comes over. “Hey babe!” He kissed her. Griselda skimmed the room and luckily no Ren. “You two go get a room.” Lilith teases.

“Where should we go,” he winked at her and touched her lower back. “I am good, it is my friends birthday.” Caleb looked a bit mad. “Come on it would be fun to do it in public” Griselda took a big drink and then went to get another. She just wanted to be drunk. “Should slow down or you will be out before the night ends.” She ignored him and looked around. Gemma was flirting with Ren, it bothered her more now then before. She took another drink from her cup and went to the dance floor.

Griselda walked around the party she was drinking pretty heavily as the drink felt good going down. “Griselda you need to slow down, before you get so drunk that you have to be carried out.” Caleb said to her. “I am fine!” Caleb was getting frustrated with her. “You’re always fine.” He walked away from her and started dancing with his sister. Griselda got another drink and watched everyone dancing and having a good time. Tomorrow is Halloween or the other name is Samhain. It is one of Griselda’s favourite holiday. Samhain is a considered remembrance of the dead. The other name sims may call it is Day of the Dead. It is much believed that the afterlife and this world’s walls are thinner on this day. Griselda believe the reason she loves this holiday more is because she feels her parents spirts close around her and she feels she can talk to them. With the passing of Minerva, she feels her spirit will be felt along with her parents this year. Griselda wiped a tear away and glanced over Ren’s way, their eyes met for just a brief second. He looked worried and she turned and took a drink.

She could hear Gemma across the room. “Ren come dance with me.” She touches his hand. She pulled him close to her and they danced for a bit. “Ren, I am so happy you could makeup it, you are such a sweet guy.” She drifted and blushed. “Aww, thanks Gemma that is sweet of you to say.” Ren was about to say something when Griselda felt her self moving toward them, she had enough. Maybe it was the booze talking but what she was thinking in her head slipped out of her mouth. “Gemma he does not like you that way! Would you just lay off!” Everyone looked at her. “Griselda!” Caleb came behind her. “Your drunk. Come on.” He grabbed her hand. “No!” She pulled her arm free. “Griselda” Gemma spoke softly. “What! It just the damn truth. Your trying to hard and,” as Ren grabbed her by the shoulders. “Griselda,” he gave her a small shake to reality. “That enough!” He looked angry. “Ren..” Griselda trailed off and noticed everyone starring at her now. She felt embarrassed now and sick to her stomach.

“I am leaving now.” Griselda felt like he was slipping away from her. “Ren.. I am sorry” she though to herself. She did not even noticed she was moving until till she felt the cool air of outside. “Ren!” He turned around. “What was that?” Griselda swallowed, her mouth felt dry. “I don’t know.” Ren frowned. “She is your best friend and I had the situation under control.” Griselda was quiet. “Ren, I love you! I just was insecure and drunk and stupid. I am sorry” Ren softened “Griselda I-“ he trailed off and his face turned to horror. Griselda went to look behind her, there was standing Caleb. He lunged at Ren with his mighty powers, Griselda was in shock as he sunk his teeth into Ren neck. Griselda screamed!

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

Omg saw it and lived it too... And how do you feel about Lena and cap??

Possible potential. But given the presence of Gemma Chan (criminally underutilized), I’m thinking more along the lines of Lena doing some alien salvage for Luthor Corp and finding Minerva alive among the debris of her crashed ship. 

Lena helps her recuperate, and Minerva begrudgingly doesn’t kill her immediately. Just until she’s healed turns into just until she has a way off this rock, because guess what Lena is the best chance she has of getting an interstellar ship (or comms).

Over the months,  they grow closer. Each other’s pet aliens, as it were.

But then they get physically close. Minerva tells herself that it’s only to incentivize Lena to work faster, and has nothing to do with the fact that once Lena learns what gets a Kree going, she’s VERY good at it.

And when it comes time to leave, Minerva invites Lena.

“This planet is too small for a mind like yours, Lena. Come with me, and I can show you the galaxy.”

Well, how could Lena refuse an offer like that?

She goes with Minerva, and on Hala she sees and learns a great many wondrous things. It’s all she could ever dream, and more. The Kree are hungry like she is, to learn, and share, and consume all the knowledge they can get their hands on.

And despite their last experience with a human, the Kree find Lena equally intriguing. With Lena, Minerva claims, the Kree will have the means to destroy Vers. 

What they don’t anticipate is that Lena will cross paths with Danvers alone. There’s a malfunction at an orbital research station, and Lena would have perished if not for Marvel’s timely arrival. 

She’s heard of the human reactor known as Vers– a monster, a terrorist who would see the Kree’s legacy destroyed and their communal knowledge destroyed. An annihilator, through and through.

But when Carol realizes that the Kree’s newest weapon is yet another human, one from Earth, she’s quick to set the record straight. It turns out it’s easy to see the Kree’s lies when she’s not immersed in them, and Lena quickly accepts the truth.

So when Minerva comes to rescue Lena herself, she’s shocked and outraged to find Lena has chosen to abandon her.

Not hurt, though. It doesn’t sting to see her human standing shoulder to shoulder with her greatest annoyance (Vers doesn’t rate the title of enemy. She’s an insect, a pest). And she feels nothing when green eyes glare at her in dismay and disappointment, and the same determination that had once promised to get her home, now vowing to end her.

It doesn’t weigh on her in the weeks that follow, and she doesn’t feel Lena’s sudden absence like a black hole in her chest. It’s not jealousy that sparks in her chest to think of Lena and Vers growing close, in the same way she and the human did in the LuthorCorp lab– it’s rage. Rage that fills her throat at the idea of Lena making those sounds she made for Minerva, of Lena smiling that smirk that did strange things to Minerva’s stomach, all for Vers.

When she finally tracks them down, it’s with vengeance in her heart. She intends to kill them both, and be done with it.

But when she finally has Lena in her sights– she freezes.

She’s never felt anything to see her targets’ fear before. They rarely saw her anyway, and those that did were often dead before they could react to the sight of her. But she hesitates when Lena looks at her with resolute terror, planting herself between Minerva and a group of Skrull children.

She hesitates. For one heartbeat, then two.

“They’re just children,” Lena points out breathlessly, as if Minerva should care. “How could you do this?”

“Orders are orders,” Minerva retorts. Her finger tightens on the trigger– but she can’t fire. She lowers her weapon, just an inch. “End this nonsense, Lena. Return with me, and all will be forgiven.”

“Forgiven??”

“We were friends once, weren’t we?”

Lena’s head shakes, eyes glistening. Minerva eyes the unshed tears with distaste. Humans were so emotional– so weak.

“No…”

Minerva quirked one eyebrow. “No?”

Lena glares. “You lied to me.”

“I told you enough. The Kree has more knowledge than you could dream of… What does it matter where it came from?”

“The Kree have slaughtered thousands. It wasn’t your knowledge to take,” Lena snarls. Her hands flex, even with her arms still outstretched. “You can keep it– it’s built on rot.”

Minerva sneers. “Your humanity is showing, Lena. It doesn’t suit you.”

“I am human.”

“No, you’re not. You’re so much more… A human would not have left their planet behind to travel across the universe. You’re more like us than you care to admit. You’re ravenous, starving to learn, to consume all the knowledge in your reach. That is all we are– the Kree are the only ones who dare reach out and take it. As you did.”

Lena’s nose wrinkles, defiant and indignant. Minerva swallows the rage that flares when she sees Vers in the expression– the stubborn disregard of the truth. The spite. The tears of anger, and frustration, sparkling still.

They gazes hold, for long interminable moments. Before either of them can speak, another of Minerva’s new squad converges on their location, weapon at the ready. 

"Step aside, human, and I may spare your life.”

Lena holds Minerva’s gaze for a long final moment.

Minerva watches her human’s features harden, turning a haughty glare on the unfamiliar Kree.

“Bite me.”

All Minerva registers is her finger finally breaking through its freeze. Her weapon recoils, but it’s not Lena who falls.

Her squad mate topples over, chest sizzling with expended plasma.

Lena blinks at her in shock, and Minerva has never in her life understood the meaning of the word as she does in that moment. Her rifle sags, as the gravity of her action settles on her shoulders.

Her life is forfeit. Unless she lies, pins the murder on the humans, or the Skrull. But if anyone questions it, if the Supreme Intelligence looks through her mind…

“Minerva?”

Lena stands before her, hands gentle on her cheeks. The Skrull have vanished, leaving them alone with the evidence of her crimes. Green eyes search hers for understanding. Minerva has none.

Her throat hurts, as though someone had reached down and pulled her lungs out through her mouth. She can barely breathe.

“It was you or him,” she mutters.

She chose Lena. And Minerva knows… She would again.

“Come with us,” Lena urges breathlessly. 

Minerva stares at her. “Why? By your own words, I’m a monster.”

“I’m not just a human,” Lena tells her. “I’m also a Luthor.”

Her name means nothing to Minerva, except that it’s Lena. But it makes Lena smile, however wan.

“A legacy of violence can feel insurmountable. But making things right starts with a choice. You just have to keep making them.”

Lena looks deep in her eyes. Her fingers tighten on Minerva’s wrist.

“Help us make things right.”

Minerva turns her head, gazing at the body of her comrade, still faintly smoking. A choice. The words echo in her brain.

She’s already made her choice.

Their fingers lace together for a brief moment, before Minerva disengages and tucks her rifle back into the pocket of her shoulder.

“Let’s move.”

She chooses Lena a second time.

[valianc]

❧ he was like the sun, burning with courage and light ❧

❝ Your body told me in a dream it’s never been afraid of anything. ❞ TOM MADEN? No, that’s actually JAMES SIRIUS POTTER. Only NINETEEN years old, this GRYFFINDOR alumni works as a CHASER FOR THE MONTROSE MAGPIES and is sided with THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. HE identifies as a CIS MAN and is a HALF-BLOOD who is known to be IMPULSIVE, EMOTIONAL, and QUIXOTIC but also COURAGEOUS, STEADFAST, and COMPASSIONATE. { JANE, TWENTY-TWO, NZT, SHE/HER } [ james is a donor-conceived child ]

james is, without a doubt, the most thoroughly decent of my lot

eldest of the three potters!! fuck yeah!! sibs 4 life!! potter kids against the world!!

lily is the fire, the inferno, blazing and burning and raging ; al is the guiding light, the lighthouse, looking out for all the ships in the night ; and james is the sun, golden and warm, trying to be steady in his light

(sort of telling, i suppose, about gryffindors that the two lions are the types of light that can burn you — one in a scorching moment, one from being too close for too long)

(or maybe that’s just james thinking — three people he loved, all gone in one night)

grief tw, parental death tw, death tw // harry died. minerva died. kingsley died. in one fell swoop. his father is dead, and all james can think is — he let him down. his father has always survived, has always fought for what mattered, has always taken care of james—had, he reminds himself, had—and when it came to it, james couldn’t protect him. maybe if james had been something better and braver and more important, like an auror, or something, anything, anything but what he is, maybe he could have saved him. ( and sometimes james wishes desperately that he was better—not to be the best or anything, but just to be good enough to save them for once. ) the world has always wanted pieces of them, these children of war heroes, even if the war wasn’t really a war, even if his father stopped it before it could be — his father was still a hero, and it mattered, being the chosen one’s children, even if it shouldn’t have. and james has always walked that line, not naturally responsible, but something steady in his chest, with light in his laugh and teasing smirks and cheeky quips and a playful disposition, but that sense — in the quiet moments between breaths, or when the night is cold and they’re the last few people awake under the light of the moon and stars — of looking out for his siblings, his family. it’s like: there is a difference between being responsible for and looking out for someone, and james has always felt the latter, but never has it been a heavy weight to bear until now. it is not responsibility burning at him, not really, because he trusts his loved ones to take care of themselves, he trusts them with everything, but that sense he should be doing more pulls at him. looking out for them has always come naturally, easy as breathing, and part of that was always in the assurance of his parents’ presence, of everyone’s presence — what couldn’t they do, as a family? what could possibly make the world spin fast enough that he couldn’t keep his balance? but the world is different now. it is missing its pillars. and for the first time, james isn’t sure how to look out for them. it’s not that he doesn’t trust them, because that hasn’t changed. it’s just that the world is an unfamiliar place now, one that took away three of the pillars that held up his sky, and he’s scared he won’t be able to bear the weight without their help.  end grief tw, parental death tw, death tw //

oof that was a bunch

james used to be a gryffindor, captain & chaser / member of the art club, herbology club and comc club, but he was chronic for missing some meetings of all of them on occasion bc of quidditch duties and some detentions (he mostly made it, though, especially art club)

current resident of the fulham flat, along with fred weasley, arabella mcgonagall, quinn lacey, sage brown-patil and maddie macmillan-bones (?)

he is... too trusting

lmao

or like

he’s always trusted easily, and he’s not breaking the habit as quickly as he ought to in war time (plot op to fuck him up, ig // especially if you wanna make ezekiel gamp and kill two birds w one stone and be part of the ICONIQUE™ sibling duo w gemma gamp, pls @ ariull for more)

a lowkey chaotic, but good-natured

dog person extraordinaire (lily gave him a puppy for getting signed to a pro tam and he loves him w his whole heart. name is tbd but options in the flat have included: james 3, fred 3, pup, florida man, sir scooby doo the smartest, and james 2 until it was pointed out that james is actually already the second so it would be the third)

the flat has two goldfish named frozzle and grozzle

very big on fair play w quidditch

has flown over to charles in the middle of a match to angrily call him out on his players endangering people before

he’s signed with the montrose magpies and plays chaser — he did have interest from the appleby arrows and the caerphilly catapults, but the magpies are based in scotland and make it easier for him to just drop in on hogsmeade weekends

he visits hogwarts sometimes solely to see hagrid, and remembers to catch up with his family too

his favourite quidditch players are his mother, viktor krum and lucinda talkalot

the only potter kid you could reasonably accuse of being a romantic smh

also he and al are tall (esp al) and lily is tiny lmao

james is the friend who will thwart your drunken attempts at running across the road screaming FREEDOMMMMM

however, also the anti-mom friend who just says whatever the fuck he’s thinking when drunk, which can lead to impulsive ideas and unexpected directions and a lot of headaches for ara, who is trying her best to keep the flat alive, goddammit james, fred come back here, quinn oh my gOD, sage, please don’t teach any of them to pick locks—

needs to get better at believing or expecting the worst in people lmao

if you could mix his trustingness with lily’s lack of trust/suspicious nature, you might get a person well-equipped for life

things roll off him pretty easily in general, and he takes life with a lot of ease, but when something hurts his feelings, you can see it

just not great at hiding his emotions in general, tbh

me @ him always: u dumb fuck

actually rly good at transfiguration, could have one day been a prof in another life

v likely to eventually be a healer, either following a quidditch injury or something else

thank god quinn made him study well for his NEWTs huh

we stan a ravenclaw who breaks into gryffindor common room during study season

kinda feels like he should quit quidditch, like what is he doing still playing, he feels like it’s selfish and wrong of him, but roxanne has been yelling @ him to keep on track!!

ok i’mma stop here bc he’s a disaster sag and things will just keep rambling on if i don’t

4:23 am jane strikes again!!

THE PANTHEON OF GREEK-ROMAN GODS:

Aphrodite ♡ Angelina Jolie

Goddess of beauty, love, lust, desire, sexuality, and pleasure.

Venus

They forgot long ago that the most important thing is love. But I am as old as time. I remember.

Love conquers all.

Love will thrive.

Apollo ☀ Daniel Sharman

God of the sun, light, healing, music, poetry, archery, reason and prophecy.

Lester Papadopoulos

Do not be afraid of dreams. If it weren’t for dreams, I wouldn’t know half the things I know about the future.

Teasing. I like it. I shall write a good haiku about you, child of land and sea.

Ares ☣ Luke Evans

God of war

Mars

Artemis ➹

Virgin goddess of the hunt, the moon, chastity, animals, and the wilderness.

Diana

My Hunters follow me on my adventures. They are my maidservants, my companions, my sisters-in-arms. Once they swear loyalty to me, they are indeed immortal… unless they fall in battle, which is unlikely. Or break their oath.

Athena △ Lena Headey

Virgin goddess of wisdom, handicrafts, useful arts, and battle strategy

Minerva

Wise counsel is not always popular.

You love too much, too deep, child. For love, you would sacrifice the world.

Aphrodite, too, never apologized for the horrible things that happened in the name of love. She’ll tell you that a hero’s strength is measured by his heart.

Strength comes from the mind. From wisdom.

Demeter ❀ Rebecca Wisocky

Goddess of Agriculture, and presided over the harvest, the grains, and the fertility of the earth, and the seasons.

Ceres

Dionysus ∞ Stanley Tucci

God of grape-harvest, wine, madness, parties, and ecstasy as well as theater.

Bacco

Heroes never change. And those who fall in love with them always end up getting hurt. They take what they want, use whoever they have to, and then they betray everyone around them. Heroes are a selfish, ungrateful lot.

Hades ☠ Ralph Fiennes

God and ruler of the Underworld, the dead, subterranean regions, and riches.

Pluto

You are brave to come here, little one. After what you have done to me, very brave indeed. Or very foolish.

Return my helm now, godling, or I will stop death. I will open the earth and have the dead pour back into the world. I will make your lands a nightmare.

Hera ◎ Charlize Theron

Goddess of marriage, motherhood, women, and familial love.

Juno

This is women’s era. We’ll make female names be remembered throughout history.

But I wish you to know that though others might try to convince you otherwise my feelings for you are true. You’re my only demigod child, even if you’re not truly mine, and I’ve been mother to you when others refused the job.

Hermes ☤ Nathan Fillion

God of roads, speed, messengers, commerce, travel, thieves, merchants, athletes, and mail deliverers.

Mercury

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the eons, it’s that you can’t give up on your family, no matter how tempting they make it. People can change. But they need help.

Families are messy. Immortal families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best we can do is remind each other that we’re related, that we’re not alone.

Hestia 🔥 Gemma Arteton

Virgin goddess of the hearth, home, the right ordering of domesticity, and family.

The last Olympian

Vesta

Not all powers are spectacular. Sometimes the hardest power to master is the power of yielding. I yield when necessary. Can you do this?

I am here because when all else fails, when all the other mighty gods have gone off to war, I am all that’s left. Home. Hearth. I am the last Olympian. You must remember me when you face your final decision.

Hephaestus Ω Bill Nighy

God of forges, fire, technology, craftsmen, sculptors, volcanoes, and blacksmiths.

Vulcan

You’ve met my wife? She’s a tricky one. Be careful of love. It’ll twist your brain around and leave you thinking up is down and right is wrong.

It isn’t easy being a brilliant inventor. Always alone. Always misunderstood. Easy to turn bitter, make horrible mistakes. People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person… He can’t be fixed.

Persephone ✿ Eva Green

Goddess of springtime, flowers, fertility, and young life.

Queen of the Underworld

Proserpine

Why can’t suffering be beautiful?

Poseidon ♆ Kevin McKidd

God of the sea, earthquakes, horses, hurricanes, oceans, destruction, droughts, floods and storms.

Neptune

Obedience does not come naturally to the sea. It does not like to be restrained.

Even the bravest can fall.

Only a hero, someone with strength, a true heart, and great courage, would do such a thing.

Zeus ϟ Liam Neeson

God of the sky, weather, air, lightning, honor and justice.

King of Olympus

Jupiter
