[poisxnivi]

i just finished watching Just Add Magic and did anyone else audibly gasp on that one scene where chuck's like "good luck saving your friend" and kelly's like "what do you mean we just saved jake" and chuck's like "not that friend" before hannah passes out

[cjriles]

Just Add Magic trio headcanons I have after rewatching the show after 3 years:

— KELLY !

• of French descent (idkw)

• Autistic (hyperfixates on the cookbook, quickly solving mysteries via pattern recognition, picking up on magic rather quickly, and Darbie saying she notices Kelly always smoothing her hair most likely as a form of stimming can be read as autistic traits)

• Neutral Evil

• Favorite color is purple or lavender (it’s just a vibe i get)

• Speak Now & Midnights stan

• But a Lana Del Ray fan

• Cooking/Baking is a special interest (also cooking as a form of control and predictability is very ND coded)

• Morally Gray

• Also her dad is autistic

— HANNAH !

• Has Generalized Anxiety Disorder and is on meds for it

• Favorite color is light blue

• Also autistic (“Numbers calm me down”, needing routine and hates unpredictability can be read as autistic traits)

• of Jewish descent

• Lawful Good

• Will be a former gifted burnout kid when older

• Tried to mask her autistic traits at Fox Canyon

• Gets panic attacks

• Gives me softgirl lesbian energy, but would also take her as pan as well

• SWIFTIE

• Folklore, Evermore, & Lover stan

• Def owns a weighted blanket

• Also her dad and Hailey are also autistic

— DARBIE !

• Inattentive ADHD AF (literally every “Darbie being Darbie” is literally just her displaying an adhd trait; i.e. forgetting things/always losing things, poor fine motor skills/missing every shot into the trash can in the very first episode, generally clumsy, and little to no sense of fear are all adhd traits. i have inattentive adhd i can say this)

• Bi Bi Bi (also may’ve had a crush on Piper but didn’t realize it)

• Like really how many theatre kids do you that are straight???

• Ron Weasley variant

• Chaotic Good

• Has major Alexithymia

• Celebrates (and makes Kelly and Hannah celebrate) St. Patrick’s Day bc she’s hella Irish

• The same reason her favorite color is green

• Converse girlie

• Plays Minecraft and Roblox

• Defo a DnD player and is a Paladin

• Gets slight gender dysphoria once and a while but doesn’t think too much of it

• BRIDGERTON STAN

• Red & 1989 stan

• Special interest are the Doom series by Trudith Winters, spy movies, and Earles of Wembley and will info dump to her friends about it constantly

• The reason her only fear is being left alone is due to the times magic has broken up her friendships with Hannah and Kelly and later her parents getting a divorce

Notes:

Fantastic capture of this incredibly immersive and beautiful production. there is a bar in the bottom right corner of the screen that doesn't take away except for one moment where Gandalf and Frodo are talking on the stairs in act one, but overall I worked around it and you can always see Frodo and sometimes Gandalf. At points people are in the audience and I wasn't able to capture them but you can always hear them and I do my best to always try to make sure to capture anything in the audience that I could. Some washout and shakiness throughout.

ANOTHER AU!? I know what you're saying... Gwen, you're nuts. But not only are you absolutely right, I think this one might be my most ambitious one yet. As a young nerd, there were two groups. The Marvel fans and the DC fans. And while the rivalry certainly has calmed down a bit, I was almost always torn. So, earlier in the week, I decided to do the one thing that every fanfic writer has tried at least once.

A Marvel/DC crossover.

But unlike the typical realm merger, to put it in Mortal Kombat terms, this is a universe where both properties coexist. For example, picture a group of people walking to a Big Belly Burger while listening to Just the Facts with J. Jonah Jameson. That's just a fraction. I have an ENTIRE starting cast as well.

Baker History

The Baker cornerstone by Thomas John Baker.

Anthony Baker I is most likely my 4x great grandfather born in 1720 in Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. He married Hannah (no maiden name listed) was born about 1722 in Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. Together they had four known children: Jonathan, Anthony II, Simeon, and Sarah.

Anthony Baker II is my 3x great grandfather and the first confirmed descendant. He was born in 1754, Twenty-two years before the British Colonies declared their independence 1776. By the time the revolution began, Anthony who was a royalist, went to the Province of New Brunswick and came to St John on the ship "Hope" with the spring fleet in 1783, and spent the first winter in St John. In May of 1784 he was still in St John but by June he had left...probably to claim his land in the Kingston area. Anthony was a pew holder at the St. John's Church, Gagetown in 1792 and had several children baptized there. Anthony was very good with numbers and he became a surveyor of lumber at St John, New Brunswick. He was granted lands at Kingston, Northampton parish and Prince William, on the St John's River. He returned to the city of St. John in 1804, where he died probably about 1817. Anthony had two wives that are known. Mary Kelly (possibly known as Hannah Kelly) who was an Irish Quaker from Ireland and a second wife named Abigail Parker Woodworth who is my 3x great grandmother. Altogether Anthony had thirteen children: With Mary (Hanna) – Jonathan, Simeon, Jesse, Samuel, Hannah, Anthony, Elizabeth, and David. With Abigail – Abigail, Hannah, Parker, Benjamin Griffith, and George Smally. Of these Benjamin Griffith is my 2x great grandfather.[iii]

Benjamin Griffith Baker may have been named after a man named Benjamin Griffith, an officer in Delancey's Brigade. Benjamin married Leah Ann Walton at the Woodstock Anglican Church in York County, New Brunswick, (later became Carleton Co) on October 26, 1827. Going by the birth records for the children (1851 Census), it appears that Benjamin and Leah Ann moved to Ontario somewhere between 1835 and 1839. On March 18,1862, Benjamin received a patent on the Crown land, which he seemed to have been living on prior to 1851 (Lot 12, concession 7). He paid $160.00 for the land. There are several land transaction at this time, and he sold it for $1000.00. On May 27, 1865, Leah Ann bought some broken lots (lots 21 and 22). From this point on Leah Ann's name appears on all land records. This may indicate that Benjamin was in poor health. There seems to be several land transactions to get money. On June 1, 1882, Benjamin passed away after being sick for a week with congestion in his lungs. He was living with his son Samuel Baker in Dresden, Ontario at that time. Together Benjamin and Leah Ann had ten children: Elisha, Samuel, Jesse, Benjamin, George, Jane, Joseph, Margaret, David, and Henry.

Of these children, David is my great grandfather. David was born in Chatham Twp., Kent Co, Ontario in 1845. In the 1861 census, he listed himself as a laborer and by 1871, he had left home. His first wife was Susannah Buhl and their first child was John Benjamin, born about 1874 in Canada. Their second child, Mary, was born in Michigan about 1876. Therefore, it is quite possible David went to Michigan about 1877. He seems to have travelled there with his father-in-law, John Buhl and other in-laws.  Their third child came into the world in 1878 also in Michigan and named William Albert. At some point Susannah died and David became a widower. At this point he must have traveled back into Canada where he and his second wife, Mary Jane Hare from Cromwell, England gave birth to his fourth child James Henry. His next two children, Robert and Eliza both were born Canada. He migrated to the United States in 1900 and became a US citizen in Randolph county, Missouri. He eventually settled in Watertown, South Dakota where his last child Laura was born. Of the children, of David and Mary, my grandfather was James Henry Baker.

James was born in Montreal Canada on November 10, 1882.[iv] He migrated to the United States and settled with his parents in Watertown, South Dakota. It was here that James apparently met my Grandmother, Marie Ann Larsen.  They entered the bonds of matrimony on December 18, 1919.  A few years later my father, Ralph, was born, their only child. While still living in Watertown, South Dakota, My grandfather on October 25, 1925 entered the Salvation Army.  He apparently was an active member and was in their band.  He played the Drums and held the rank of Drum Sargent. James lived a good life and was good with his hands as a carpenter. During the great depression, my grandfather possibly worked for the WPA on one of the bridges that span the Mississippi River.[v]  In 1943, he was employed as a janitor at the University of Minnesota.  He was responsible for cleaning Pioneer Hall.  He kept this job until 1951 when he retired.  After retiring James and his wife, Marie, lived on assisted living at varying locations in Minneapolis. James died in December of 1967.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[i] See Thomas Baker at Geni.com: https://www.geni.com/people/Thomas-Baker/6000000000424731005

[ii] Nicholas Baker may be Francis Baker’s father, but this is not a confirmed.  Francis Baker who was born about 1611 is the first possibly known paternal descendant of the Baker family. The other possible parents of Francis are Thomas and Frances Ingram Baker. Thomas Baker Sr. is the son of Francis, in which Thomas Baker Jr. is his son. Thomas Baker III born in 1744, is the weak link in the chain, for if he is the son Thomas Baker Jr. how can Anthony Baker be his son, for Anthony was born in 1754. Therefore, there possibly is a different Thomas Baker here, or Thomas Baker Jr. is Anthony’s father. Yet, this all remains speculative, with research still taking place. See: https://www.familysearch.org/service/records/storage/das-mem/patron/v2/TH-904-57845-117-7/dist.txt?ctx=ArtCtxPublic and http://darrel-betty-hagberg.com/genealogy/mclaughlin/d0004/g0000094.html. Further, it is possible that John Baker, born in 1545 in Brookland, Kent, England, is the Father of Nicholas Baker, but there is no proof.

[iii] Hannah Baker is listed twice. Either, he had two daughters with the same name, which is doubtful, or Hannah Kelly or Abigail Parker Woodworth is her mother.

[iv] The place of James Baker’s birth is in question. It was believed that he was born in Montreal, Québec, but a record from the Ontario Births and Baptisms registry of 1779-1899, states that he was born in Enniskillen, Lambton, Ontario. This makes sense seeing that his Father David William Baker home was Chatham-Kent, Ontario, 32 miles away.

[v] The Works Progress Administration, (1935) - This program was led by Harry Hopkins and had a budget of five billion dollars. By 1936, four million people were employed as they built schools, parks, roads, irrigation dams, and other civic improvements. (Source - American History after 1865 by Ray A. Billington and Martin Ridge.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interesting notes:

The ancestors listed here may have a connection to what is above, although it would be nice. At least there is no connecting link found as of yet, but the research continues. See footnotes about i and ii.

The earliest possible information of any paternal descendant begins as early as the sixteenth century possibly with Nicholas Baker, born in 1585 in Suffolk, England. The next possible descendent of the Baker family is the son of Nicholas, Francis Baker of Herefordshire, England. He immigrated to North America and settled in the Massachusetts colony at Yarmouth along with his wife Isabel Twining (Baker) of Herefordshire, England. Together they had eight children: Nathaniel, John, Samuel, Elizabeth, Daniel, Thomas, William, and Hannah. Of these eight children it is possible that my 6x great grandfather is Thomas Baker Sr., born 1654 in Yarmouth, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts. He married Bathsheba (Bashua) Lewis Abt. 1699, who is the daughter of George Lewis and Mary Lumbard. “Thomas Baker Sr. was the son to whom most of [his] father's property was left. Possibly because the other sons had been provided for, Thomas being the only one still unmarried at the time of his father's death. Thomas and his mother were made joint executors of [his] father's will. Thomas lived at Yarmouth and shared in the division of common lands there in 1712, after which [there is] no further trace of him.”[i] Thomas and Bathsheba had two children Mary Baker and Thomas Baker Jr. Thomas Baker Jr. listed above is possibly my 5x great grandfather born in 1703. Thomas married Phoebe Chase in 1733. Nothing more is known about him except that together they had Six children: Hannah, Mary, Bathsheba, Benjamin, Thomas, and Eleazar and of these Thomas Baker III is my 4x great grandfather. He married Abigail, (whose last name is unknown). They had five children: Samuel, Elijah, Mary, Thomas, and Anthony.

Just Add Magic Fanfiction: Life After Magic Chapter 1

Kelly Quinn stood in a kitchen and held out her right hand as she said, "It's time. I need butter, eggs, and chocolate." Kelly's friend Hannah walked up next to her and handed her a stick of butter and eggs. Kelly then said, "Great. But where's the chocolate?" Kelly and Hannah turned their heads and saw walking into the kitchen was Darbie eating a piece of chocolate several feet away from them. Darbie then looked at her two friends and said, "What? There's plenty here." Kelly smirked as she said, "Some things never change." Hannah then said, "Come on Darbie. There's plenty of chocolate here, because we have to cook for hundreds of people now. Not just ourselves." Darbie sighed and brought the remaining chocolate over to her two friends.

The three girls were cooking in the kitchen of Mama P's restaurant and already had many dishes of food prepared. Jake then walked into the room and said, "Oh good. You got all the blueberry muffins ready. What about the chocolate ones?" Kelly then said, "Working on it now Jake." Jake then said, "Great. You girls are lifesavers." Jake then walked out of the kitchen as Kelly's grandmother Becky stepped in. Becky who looked a little tired, smiled as she said, "Wow. I haven't done waitress duties since I was in college. It makes me feel both young... and even older now at the same time." Kelly then said, "Oh come on grandma. The customers loves you." Darbie then said, "She's right Grandma Q. Plus you're really good at getting customers to try the new specials. No one can say no to a nice old lady like you. Not that you look that old. In fact if I didn't know you were Kelly's grandma, I'd think you were a cool hip college kid."

Becky laughed a bit as Hannah said, "It is great that you're helping out here at Mama P's considering she was never the best friend to you." Becky then said, "Well I wasn't the best friend to Ida either. But I'm really happy just to help Jake out. It's great Ida is giving him a chance to manage the store without him for a few weeks while she's helping Gina get settled in her new place. Although you girls are the real ones to thank, making so many fantastic new foods for this place." Kelly then said, "Well after getting creative with magical food for a year, getting creative with regular food is no problem." Becky continued to smile as she left the kitchen while saying, "Well keep up the good work."

Darbie then said, "Well how are we doing with the next batch of muffins?" Kelly then said, "Just about ready to put this in. The next batch isn't going to be needed to be taken out for another twenty minutes." Darbie then said, "And we're at the afternoon lull now. You mind if I take a break and do some studying?" Kelly then said, "Sure, I guess." Darbie nodded and said, "Thanks." Darbie then rushed out of the room as a surprised Hannah looked at Kelly and said, "What's with Darbie? It's a Sunday and she wants to study?" Kelly then said, "I'm as surprised as you are. But ever since we gave up the magic cook book, Darbie's been studying a lot more in school. In fact she got all A's on every Match quiz last month." Hannah then said, "You're kidding!?" Kelly then said, "I know. Guess Darbie is finally growing up."

A few hours later in the evening as it was getting dark outside Jake was handing food to a customer as Darbie walked out the kitchen. Darbie then said, "Hey Jake. It's getting late. You mind if I head home early to study?" Jake then said, "Hey. You've already done more than enough. Go home and get some rest. And take a smoothie to go. Gotta make sure my workers are well nourished if they're gonna work well." Darbie picked up a smoothie as she said, "Nice. Thanks." Jake and Darbie waved as Darbie left while Kelly stepped over to Jake. Kelly nudged Jake a bit and said, "Look at you. Being such a good boss. Jake, you are really good at treating your workers well and handling this business." Jake took a deep breath and said, "Yeah. Well it's not easy running a business while still being in high school." Kelly then said, "Well hey. Me, Hannah, Darbie, and Grandma are totally cool with helping you out as much as we can while Mama P is away. And like I said, my dad can come in if you're swamped too." Becky then walked over to Jake and said, "We're all willing to help out such a hard working man like yourself Jake. Your parents must be so proud of you." Kelly then said, "You know... Jake, I just realized. We've never met your parents. Are they..."

Suddenly the door opened and an African American man walked into the shop. Jake's eyes widened as he said, "Oh my gosh." A confused looking Kelly then said, "What Jake? What's wrong? You look like your most difficult customer of your lifetime just walked in." Jake then said, "It's worse. Kelly... that's actually my dad." Jake's father then walked over to the group as he said, "Son. Good evening." Jake nodded and said, "Hey dad. So... you've actually decided to come see me at work for once." Jake's dad then said, "I decided it wouldn't hurt to see this place you spend time at." Becky then said, "Oh, well Mr. Williams, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Becky Quinn and I have known your son for years and he's one of the best cooks I've ever met." Jake's dad then said, "I know. Cooking is an important skill. Although I would've preferred Jake taken up more lucrative hobbies." Jake rolled his eyes as he said, "Come on dad. Really? Right here in front of my customers?" Jake's dad then said, "I'm not here to insult your cooking son. But I'm sure your employees and friends here would agree, this is a good hobby to take part in. But now that you're in high school, it's time to start preparing for a career that has more security in it. Like studying to be a doctor like myself?" Jake then said, "Come on dad. I'm not an adult yet and I'm already running a restaurant. Doesn't that show I have a future in this?" Jake's father then said, "You're temporarily in charge until the owner gets back I believe. But you know small businesses come and go. What if you get seriously ill one day or need a new car? How much profit does this place really make Jake?" Jake's dad then turned to look at Becky and said, "Mrs. Quinn, you come across to me as a successful woman. Do you think this is the most lucrative type of business to run?" Becky then said, "Well no but..." Jake's dad then said, "Exactly. Jake, I know you find cooking fun. But it's time to think about the future and do something more meaningful with your life. Good day." Jake's dad then walked out of the restaurant as Kelly and Becky stood with uneasy looks on their faces, while Jake had a very troubled look on his.

Hannah stood at a door and knocked on it. Darbie then answered the door and with a surprised look said, "Hannah. What are you doing here?" Hannah then held up a book and said, "You forgot one of your textbooks at Mama P's." Darbie then made a smirk and said, "Well that's me. Forgetful Darbie." Hannah then said, "Well you're a little less forgetful lately it seems. I looked through this book and saw how you've been writing your work out on the pages. Darbie, your math skills have really improved lately." As Darbie took the book from Hannah she said, "Thanks." Hannah then looked on a table near the door and saw a series of forms. Hannah looked at them said, "These have the Fox Canyon logo on them and... these are application forms. Darbie... are you applying to Fox Canyon Magnet School?"

Darbie looked a little nervous as she said, "What if I am?" Hannah then said, "Darbie, it's really hard to get in there you know. Your math skills have gotten a lot better, but you know your work has to be at an all A's kind of level to get in." Darbie then said, "Well, maybe I'll get all A's soon. Then we can both be at Fox Canyon together." Hannah smiled as she said, "Darbie. You don't have to get into Fox Canyon just so you can keep hanging out with me. We already established this. We can still be good friends even if we go to different schools." Darbie who looked a bit more nervous now said, "Yeah I know but... I still want to get into Fox Canyon." Hannah then said, "Then why?" Darbie now looked frustrated as she said, "Because... because I have to okay! Now good night!" Darbie then pushed Hannah out the door and closed it. Hannah looked very troubled and confused as she said, "What is going on?"

Kelly, Jake, and Becky were closing up the restaurant as Kelly said, "Hey Jake. I hope you don't mind me saying this but... your dad is kind of a jerk." Becky then said, "Kelly, be respectful to your elders." Kelly then said, "Sorry grandma." Becky then said, "Good. But since I'm an older elder, I can definitely say... Jake, your dad is kind of a jerk." Jake rolled his eyes and said, "Tell me about it. My dad has been a doctor my whole life and has always been trying to get me to be one like him. He keeps trying to get me internships at his hospital he works at but I keep refusing. I like cooking. It's what I want to keep doing for the rest of my life." Kelly then said, "Good for you Jake. Follow your dreams." Becky then said, "What about your mother Jake? What does she think?" Jake then said, "Well... she died when I was ten." Becky then said, "Oh Jake. I'm so sorry. I didn't know." Jake then said, "It's okay. Honestly, I got into cooking because she loved to do it. I first started doing it by myself because it helped me remember my mother and made me still feel close to her. But now it's become something I genuinely like to do all the time. But my dad keeps telling me: being successful means doing many things you don't like to do." Kelly then said, "Well your dad is wrong Jake. Forget him and follow your path." Becky then said, "That's easy to say Kelly but Jake's dad is still family. He can't just walk away from him and build a rift. Breaking up a family always sounds easy, but it always leaves more pain for everyone in the end. Just look at me, Gina, and Ida. We were like family and us three breaking away didn't help anybody. Jake needs to build a bridge between him and his dad. Not burn one." Kelly looked down a bit and said, "Yeah grandma. You're right." Jake sighed and then said, "I just don't know how to do that." Becky then said, "Hmm. Jake... I may have an idea."

The next day Darbie was walking home from school down a neighborhood sidewalk as Hannah ran up to her. Hannah then said, "Darbie, hey. Wait up." Darbie then said, "Can't. I have to get home and finish a big paper due tomorrow." Hannah then said, "It's about that. Darbie, you don't have to do all this extra studying and school work." Darbie then said, "Why not? Isn't getting straight A's in school important?" Hannah then said, "It is. But you don't have to do it just so you can get in Fox Canyon." Darbie then said, "I told you. I want to get into Fox Canyon." Hannah then said, "But I told you. You don't have to get into Fox Canyon just to be with more. We still hang out a lot. I mean we're friends." Darbie then said, "I know Hannah." Hannah then said, "Then tell me why you're still doing this." Darbie then stopped dead in her tracks causing Hannah to stop moving too. Darbie then turned around to look at Hannah and said, "You really wanna know why I'm doing this? I'm doing this because I don't want things to be the way they are. I miss you Hannah. I miss being in half my classes with you, and eating lunch with you every day, and walking to school together, and having you help me on the same homework assignments." Hannah then said, "But we can still have dinner once a week together and hand out on weekends and..." Darbie interrupted Hannah and said, "That's not enough. It hurts whenever you're not around Hannah. I want us to be together as much as possible. And my heart will do whatever it takes to be with you as much as it can forever." A confused looking Hannah then said, "Darbie, what are you saying?" Darbie then with a very nervous look on her face said, "Hannah, I... I..." Then Darbie took a deep breath, then took a step forward, looked into Hannah's eyes, put her hands on Hannah's cheeks, and then... Darbie moved her face forward and kissed Hannah on the lips. Hannah's eyes widened as she stood completely still as Darbie kissed her. Darbie then moved her face away from Hannah and with a completely certain look on her face said, "Hannah Parker-Kent... I'm in love with you." Hannah's eyes simply widened and with a completely uncertain and nervous look on her face Hannah said, "Whoa."
