Chapter Four of The Year of the Dragon will be coming very soon, but in the meantime I started a little spin off called Blishwick Family Portraits. The first part is about Jimbo and Misapinoa. Just be warned it does have a higher rating than the Prince and Crow series, so pay attention to the tags etc.

Misapinoa Blishwick (née Black)

Misapinoa Blishwick was a British witch and world famous sculptresses and artist. An early member of the House of Black, was a pure-blood, the only daughter and eldest child of Licorus and Magenta Black (née Tripe), and sister of Cygnus I, and Arcturus I.

She showed her artistic talents as a young child, enjoying painting and drawing. Her father Licorus encouraged her artistic abilities. Misapinoa had a close relationship with her aunt Alexia.

She married the wizarding artist Jimbo Blishwick who was known to be commissioned by Hogwarts Headmasters for their portraits. The couple had six daughters but only three lived to adulthood.

Her aunt Alexia was the keeper of sacred heirlooms and relics from past members of the Black Family which she passed on to Misapinoa.

Misapinoa then passed such artifacts to her niece Iola Black and kept in touch and visited with her even after the latter's disownment, unknown to Iola's older siblings. Misapinoa lived to the age of 100.

Black Second Generation

These characters appears only on the version of the Black family tree shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She was not included on the version of the tree which J. K. Rowling gave to a charity auction in 2006. However, according to director David Yates, Rowling provided the film-makers with a copy of the Black family tree going back eight generations. The film makers presumably received a more complete version of the tree than the one auctioned off, which only goes back six generations.

Misapinoa Black(1826 – 1926):  first daughter of Licorus and Magenta Black. She married a pure-blood wizard named Jimbo Blishwick. She never had children. Misapinoa lived to 100 years. This venerable age isn’t unusual for the magic community, bat it is a rarity for the Black family. In fact,its members often died young by wizarding standard. The reason is still unknown.

Jimbo Blishwick (? -?): He was a pure-blood wizard who married Misapinoa Black. His dates of birth and death is unknown.

Cygnus Black (1829 -1851): Licorus and Magenta Black’s son. He died at the young age of 22 years, for unknown reasons. He married a pure-blood witch named Ella Max, at the young age of 16 years old. In the same year their first child was born, named Sirius. in the following 5 years, they had three other children, Phineas, Elladora e Iola. Cygnus died in the same year of birth of his yougest daughter, Iola.

Ella Max (? - ?): was a pure-blood witch who married Cygnus Black I. They  had four children; Sirius, Phineas Nigellus, Iola and Elladora. Iola was born in the same year  that her husband died. Her dates of birth and death are unknown. It is likely that her in-laws, Licorus and Magenta Black helped Ella raise her children after her husband's untimely death.

Arcturus Black (1835 – 1893): Misapinoa and Cygnus’s youngest brother. He never married and he never had children He died at 58 years old.

diomedes: hi, i’m selene’s cousin, diomedes.

cora-lou: why are they making that funny noise?

wick: they’re english, cora. that’s the way they talk.

[strvngemagics]

who: selene & wick where: the blishwick’s silly posh household, london, england.  when: dec 22, 2029

“oh, fuck.” selene’s joints are crackle-pop!-ing a frightening amount as she collapses, fully clothed, on top of the (soft, large, comfortable) duvet her husband is currently underneath. they’re home earlier than she can ever recall returning from a holiday party, but their son is tiny and just starting to sleep through the night, and she can’t jeopardize that for anything. she feels her spine shift into realignment (or out of it, she hasn’t seen her chiropractor-slash-energy-healer, gerald, in ages) and it puts uncomfortable pressure on her (heavy, still-lactating) breasts, so she rolls over, practically on top of wick, and blindly reaches to poke his face. 

“pay attention to meeeeee,” she sing-songs, a frequent refrain in their household that is usually more funny than annoying (but always a little annoying); a commentary on each other’s tendency to hyper-focus on their phones. their son is snoozing across the (large, expensive-looking) room in his crib that selene could swear moves closer to the door by a few inches every day. “hi. hi hi hi hi. i have never been this exhausted in my life. please tell me we’re taking a family vacation after new year’s. a long one. preferably on a yacht.”

BIOGRAPHY

MEET JIMBO BLISHWICK: THE YOUNG AMERICAN CHANGING THE WIZARDING WORLD ONE STATUS UPDATE AT A TIME. 

I’m not sure exactly what to expect when the invitation comes in. It seems archaic to be communicating over owl. There was even a part of me that thought I should revert to the “email” form which my subject is so fond of. What if the wixen tech mogul’s fondness for typing meant he had poor penmanship? To my delight not only was Mr. Blishwick’s handwriting clear as day, but it came with a gleeful acceptance to be interviewed. So it was on that high note that I made my way to Blishwix HQ in London to meet with the illustrious CEO. What I had expected was some pristine corporate office with dark leather and wood accents, sterile and admittedly cold and disconnected from the world. What I was met with was surprising. Blishwix is anything but old school in its style. Much like the young hip branding that accompanies its many products and services, the corporate HQ of Blishwix is sleek, modern and very accessible. It’s a open space of mostly glass walls, the bull pen dotted with standing desks and stability balls replacing wheeling chairs. Towards the entrance to the main floor there is a food bar, one which changes weekly I’m told. This week it’s a cereal bar, last week it was a sushi bar, the next week it’s expected to be a pho bar. Employees are scattered around it with tablets and laptops, giddily conversing around mouthfuls of rainbow marshmallows and corn flakes. There’s also several corners tucked away with velvet cushions where some team members curl up with headphones and e-readers or handheld video game consoles. Designated comfort zones, the tour guide describes them as. It’s the Blishwix goal to make sure the employees are all comfortable, so whenever they get stressed out or overwhelmed, there’s always a little place they can escape to in order to calm their nerves. In truth, Blishwix looks less like a company and more like an urban hang out for pretty hipsters in crop tops and flannels. Surely the big man on top would have a more professional set up, right? 

Even the display in the bull pen did not prepare me for Jimbo Blishwick’s personal office. It’s one of a few closed off areas to the side of the floor, wide with tall glass walls over looking the bull pen, and predominately empty save for another bean sack, a slim desktop atop a standing desk, and a row of bookcases displaying dozens upon dozens of novels, all of which I can’t place and among the only print media to be found anywhere in Blishwix. “They’re muggle books,” says a voice from behind. When I turn and get a first glance at the figure leaning casually against the glass door to the office, my gut instinct is that this is just another one of those twenty something year olds squeezing stress balls on the work floor. He’s tall, wearing a handmade beanie in a burnt orange color -- One that is, frankly, not a good pair with his golden hair. His neatly trimmed beard and horned rimmed glasses speak of an elegance that doesn’t exactly match the acid wash tattered jeans or the faded t shirt worn under an oversized cream cardigan. The shirt is colorful and bears a phrase that doesn’t come easy to me. Woodstock. Perhaps this is another “muggle thing”. It isn’t until he draws close enough that I recognize the bare footed man. It’s Jimbo Blishwick himself. “Call me Wick,” he easily responds to my surprised expression, knowing full well he wasn’t what I expected. Instead of holding out a hand in a formal handshake and then pulling up a chair for the interview, he engulfs me in a hug and ushers me into the love sack. It’s awkward at first, but eventually I melt into it. It’s just as comfortable as it looks, and their use in the designated comfort zones make more sense to me now. Wick opts to sit crosslegged on the floor, a large coffee in one hand and a bowl of granola balanced on his thighs. He sips the coffee as my eyes wander the space, finding small and interesting little things to ask him about. 

The first thing that draws my attention is a set of crystals sitting on the top of his desk, and when I ask he lets out a howling laugh that echos throughout the office, surely drawing the attention of his hard playing -- and hardly working -- employees beyond the glass walls. “Oh, I had a bit of a headache,” he says with a somewhat amused grin. “My wife said they might help.” The wife in question isn’t some darling stay at home mom you might expect. In Wick’s own words: She’s the reason the “Boss Girl” phrase was invented. Selene Blishwick is as shrewd a business person as her husband is, and perhaps a bit more progressive. As I attempt to shift a bit in the cushion, Wick relays some confidential information about some of their upcoming branding collaborations. Each is more unconventional than the last, and they all have one vital thing in common: Selene Blishwick is the one that found them. I’d go into detail, but Wick swears it would become a marital problem if I spill the big secrets before they’re due to come out. Instead he offers a sly grin and taps a single finger to his lips. “Our little secret, then you can be the cool hip one among your friends who knew all about it before it came out.” An exciting proposition, though I realize that I do need something I can share with the public from this visit, and as Wick’s bowl of dry granola gets emptier I fear I’m running out of time. So I set out to do what I’d planned: a profile on the CEO of Wizarding London’s premiere tech company. 

When I ask Wick what was the event that kickstarted his long journey to bringing the wixen world into the 21st Century, he answers in one simple phrase: “A pen pal program.” I was surprised to say the least, but it all became more transparent as I urged him to elaborate. What ensues is a story about the overweight son of a MACUSA politician who was teased and bullied all his life and struggled to maintain platonic connections. “I had no friends,” he says, a sad truth but it comes out with a light and airy laugh. “But I didn’t make it quite easy for people to be my friend.” Despite his laid back and easy going charm, Wick reveals a disabling shyness and insecurity that kept him from engaging with the world. The only one privy to his thoughts and personality was the journal he carried with him wherever he went. “I always thought I sounded better on print than in person. I could be whoever I wanted to be on paper -- Handsome, smart, clever and fun. I just could never bring that outwards, you know?” I think we can all sympathize with the young Blishwick’s plight. It didn’t help that he had quite the shoes to fill. Sixth in his line, the Jimbos that came before the media mogul were all tied to American politics. They’re all charming and ambitious men, but Wick says he just didn’t have it in him to be a lawmaker. “Big Daddy” -- yes, that’s the moniker his father, Jimbo the fifth, goes by -- “He’s just built to be a Senator, I’m just the apple that fell a little too far from that tree.” Secluded and distant, educators began to worry that Wick’s development would be halted by the lack of socialization between him and his peers. So one Ilvermorny professor had suggested Wick be one of a handful of students elected to partake in a cross continental penpal program. “Fabricating friendship,” he called it. What they didn’t know is that the program would lead to a lot more. When I ask him who his first penpal is, if it’s someone he still has direct contact with, he lets another one of those amusing grins slip. “Oh yeah, very much so. I’m actually married to her.” 

A fifth year at Ilvermorny, Wick was matched with a Hogwarts student a handful of years younger than him by the name of Selene Rowle. According to Wick, their correspondence lasted throughout both of their schooling and beyond, until he had taken a chunk out of his trust fund in order to travel to the United Kingdom to meet in person. He says that’s the only time he used his family’s money to get where he is now -- literally using it to transport across the Atlantic. Leaving behind his family’s estate in Texas and the promising job at MACUSA his father had acquired for him, Wick came to London in order to meet his long distance friend for the first time. The only person “who really knew what he was about” he says. I ask if it was for romantic reasons. He thinks about it while he sips his drink. “I guess in hindsight it does seem a little romantic.” Whatever his reasons, Wick came and he never turned back. He said that one of the first times they interacted in person, he and his future bride had lamented on their past communication and the long waits between letters. “We felt like we’d left things off on cliff hangers so often, and you’d have to wait forever just to get some kind of answer to those burning questions the last letter gave you. It was one of the most frustrating things.” The pair wondered what it would have been like if there had been a more instantaneous way to talk with wizards across the globe. After all, Wick had concluded, the muggles did it just fine. During his teen years, the Texan said he had grown very interested in what nonmagical civilization was like. A “No-Maj Studies Class”, as they call the Muggle Studies program in the states, had a unit on the technological advances of the nonmagical community during much of the modern era. The professors tried to teach the students that this was all building towards a very dangerous threat to the magical community: exposure and the fast spreading of information over the internet. Wick saw something different. “As I thought about how I wished I had a better gateway to my penpal during my teen years, I just kept thinking about how muggles had that already figured out. They could instantly send letters to anyone anywhere in the world. No long wait times for traveling owls or anything like that. It was instantaneous.... And why shouldn’t we be like that?” 

It was this very thought that birthed the company the Blishwicks lead now. 

So how do you bring the magical world safely into the 21st Century as dictated by the nonmagical? That was no easy feat. For his part, Wick said he had to learn all about something that didn’t exist in their world, something that didn’t interact well with magic. And how do you study muggle tech without magic interfering? Simple: You “become a muggle”. That’s when I realized there was a book I recognized on his eclectic shelf of reading material. Daisy Hookum’s best seller My Life as a Muggle. It’s the first book on the shelf, in the most pristine condition. A first edition, and it’s even signed by the author herself, though Wick doesn’t remember the meeting. It has a simple message in it: I hope you enjoy the time you spend in the nonmagical world and make memories as fond as my own. “Oh yeah,” he laughs, “I did tell her I was also voluntarily giving up magic in order to help kickstart my company.” He says it with an air of unfamiliarity, like he only vaguely remembers the moment. Still, he presses on with the story. A controversial choice for the son of a self proclaimed “conservative-traditional” pureblood senator, Wick was shortly disowned by the American Blishwicks for his choice to give up his magic for two and a half years to live among the muggles. But it had purpose. “I may have lied my way into an internship with a tech company in Edingbrugh. I was trying to learn as much as I could about this muggle innovation. If I wanted to create something similar for our community, I needed to master their version.” He says it took more than the two years he gave himself to live among them, and he’s still studying it to this day, but after that amount of time he had the ground work he needed to then create his tech and media empire. The biggest obstacle wasn’t even in creating the highly secret magically encrypted network which allows smart phones to be used in the wizarding world. No, for Wick the biggest hurdle to pass over was the longstanding traditional values the community had. “I think there’s an innate fear in not just advancing the community, but in mirroring any sort of progress than the muggles have done. There’s nothing wrong with it, I mean we have adapted enough of their inventions into our own world already so why not take it a step further?” He refers to radio and electric hook ups that appeared in a lot of wixen homes in the past century. 

Blishwix started out small, creating and selling smart phones and desktops primarily with the idea in mind to change the way we communicate. Email was one of those first muggle digital contraptions that made its way into the wixen mainstream and has stayed, but within a short decade the company’s offerings expanded to mirror exactly what the digital world of the muggles looks like now. It’s becoming more and more rare to see wixen without a Loquix* in hand, or a Blishwix desktop at home. The Wixpix social media app, in which users post photos taken from the cameras on their cellular devices and add witty captions which can then be “liked” or “commented” on by users across the globe, continues to grow in popularity. And now the media and tech giant is rolling out a “streaming platform” -- a sort of home theater in the form of an app that catalogues film and television programs created by wixen for wixen. There’s Accio, an application that allows you to ask random questions and receive an answer instantly; Portky** which allows users to request forms of transportation when they desperately need it, including ministry-approved portkeys (or so it claims, we haven’t used it yet here at the Prophet). There’s even applications for those lonely wixen looking to find a love connection. Erised is one such app where user profiles are made with a handful of photos, a small ‘about me’ section, and a few small details that can be provided to prospective dates in order to help connect those with similar interests and hobbies. The married Wick does not have an Erised profile, but his assistant allows me to scroll through her’s and even swipe a few times on other profiles. I accidentally match her to someone she admits she can’t see herself interested in, but we all have a good laugh about it. These are only a few of many “experiences”, as Wick refers to them, offered by the company in order to branch the magical people from across the globe. “What is more beautiful than seeing people from different cultural backgrounds and walks of life coming together and sharing ideas and thoughts so quickly?” I realize as I’m sitting there in that bean cushion, scrolling through a prototype of the next Blishwix tablet that I know so little about the world beyond my little corner of it. I suddenly understand Wick’s enthusiasm about expanded communication. 

It’s all pretty exciting to see coming together, it’s almost impossible to understand what more could be done by Blishwix. So when I ask him what’s next, Wick gets a very eager look in his eyes. “There’s a lot of places we still don’t have our tech in that I think would be all the better for it,” he solemnly reveals, and I’m shocked to hear it. Since visiting Blishwix, I have seen their product seemingly in every corner of Wizarding London I explore daily. Who isn’t using connected to their expansive network at this point? “I would love to do a partnership with the Ministry. As the governing body, I feel like we can offer them so much that could continue to further develop the community and continue progressing us into the future. If we could get our desktops in every Ministry Department, we can further the sort of work that keeps our world moving. Just imagine how we could expand Law Enforcement, Education or Wellfare departments if we can make all the relevant information they need all the more accessible to their employees? Think about how much easier it would be for them to process information on our fast and reliable network.” 

On the topic of Education, Wick reveals his ambitions don’t stop with the Ministry. “I would love to see Blishwix in schools like Hogwarts,” he says, revealing what may be the biggest bombshell yet. “This whole dream started because of a chubby boy who had no friends in school and wanted a faster way to communicate with the one he made far away. I think a lot about that and how my life would have been different had I had this kind of technology available to me. If there are lonely kids like me who could have that, or even kids who are just struggling to get the information they need to be successful in school, and I could give them what they need to advance in life? Then I could say I’ve done what I initially set out to do. Until that day, I would say that Blishwix hasn’t been a success yet. Even teachers could benefit from the use of the internet and all the resources we have out there which we now have access to.” I begin to wonder if the technological genius is actually more of a philanthropist. “I don’t know, you tell me,” he quips when I muse out loud. Our interview comes to a halt by this point, and I’m left with so many more questions. What is Blishwix cooking up for the wizarding world next? What kind of innovations will define the company’s next decade? These, and so many more, questions are left unanswered as I walk out of Blishwix HQ, a takeaway bowl of fruity cereal in one hand and my previous generation Loquix in the other (scrolling through shopping apps in order to find that “love sack” I spent much of the afternoon lounging in).

The same day I begin writing this piece out, Blishwix has announced the Loquix VI, their most advance smartphone yet. They livestream details of their upgraded OS and hardware reveal on the company’s social media, an event I watch while typing this article up on my worn out typewriter. Halfway through and I’m out of ribbon, and I silently curse myself as I order a new set online. All the while the Blishbook Pro is being revealed on the stream, its sleek wireless keyboard and slim expandable monitor shimmering under the stage lights. I join in with the loud gasps from the shareholders crowding the conference room where the event is being held. The irony of this isn’t lost on me, and as I sit here writing out these last few paragraphs with a quill in my cramped hand I begin to realize exactly why I admire Jimbo Blishwick and his forward thinking. At least he’s not sitting here with ink blotches in obscene places, running to his editor’s office just barely before deadline with a mess of typed and handwritten article. I remember in that moment, drenched in the rain while rushing through the offices of the Prophet, the first line in his owl response to my inquiry for the interview: 

You should have just emailed. 

Touché, Blishwick, touché.

Thank you guys so much!!

TL;DR: Wick is full of shit. What can I say? Here’s the ‘Murrican lad who claims to be some hip and cool CEO of a wizarding tech and media company. Okay he’s I guess apple meets zuckerberg. Idk I’m not galaxy brained enough for this afheiahfpea hence the very oddly written bio. Wick’s a pureblood from america who supposedly forsake his family’s purist ways and then decided to create a company modeled after muggle tech in order to “bring the wizarding world into the modern era”. In actuality? He’s a fucking bigot who created a network that he could use to spy on people who may be enemies of the cause. At least that’s how it’s being factored into the DEs. His theme song is “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell bc he’s always watching you. Gives off this very laid back and down to earth and charming persona just so he can gain your trust and meanwhile he’s leaking your information to the DE and helping them further their agenda. Some extra tidbits not seen above: 

He’s got some daddy issues which are leaking into his parenting. Aka he is not exactly excited to be a father but you wouldn’t know that from his Wixpix feed which feature so many “cute” dad photos with his baby boy. In order for him to become his best self, his dad had to make his life a living hell and he believes that’s how he’s gonna have to handle Zephyr as well. 

He is smart, yes, but he’s not some brilliant innovator like the world thinks he is. His empire is built on stolen material which he simply “adapted” to the magical world. He’s not original, but he is clever. 

He’s not a fighter, clumsy with a wand, had a severe stutter as a kid which made it very hard for him to cast spells etc, so he avoids battle often and instead offers up his company more for espionage for the DEs. He’s better suited to behind the scenes mayhem, and that’s kind of the way he likes it. 

He’s a coward. He’s hiding behind computer screens and tbh if things get really sticky he’s likely to try and sell out the DE in order to save his skin. Has an escape plan to the states if things get really sticky but the likelihood of him succeeding are slim to none. 

He acts very charitable and humble and kind but he’s conceited as hell and he’s a real shady bitch sometimes. Talks shit on everyone behind their backs

He’s had a few affairs here and there despite being married. Even with that, he is in love with his wife and feels a sort of fealty towards her. She’s a very important part to the company, she’s pretty much the brand of it and so he relies on her a lot to help manufacture their image even just as individuals to help the rouse. 

BODY IMAGE TW/EATING DISORDER TW. Wick has some body image issues due to his past tbh. He got bullied a lot as a kid for being overweight and quiet, his solace was in food and he was a binge eater. As he got a bit older, he made some desperate choices in order to lose weight to gain a slimmer figure. It wasn’t healthy, it landed him in hospital a few times, and eventually he had to meet with nutrition specialists and therapists in order to work out a more healthy mindset on food. He’s still harbors body imagine issues, but he’s learned to be better about it. Still, he maintains a very strict diet and work out regime because he feels his image is one of the most important things about him. He did meet Selene when he was slim and athletic and therefore thinks it’s best he maintain the figure even just out of fear she wouldn’t find him attractive otherwise. 

is any of the stuff he said in this interview true? Idk, idk

Idk, I hate this man and this bio afheuiahfpea I’ll end up rewriting it eventually.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

interns - a couple new grunts at the blishwix HQ. they can be any affiliation, but if they are DE affiliated then they’ll know a little bit more about what is going on behind closed doors at the company. could be fun for future plotting purposes. 

co conspirators - other DEs who similarly to wick lead a double life in the public eye. philanthropists, media stars, all sorts of “do gooders” who are banning together in order to break “harmful stigmas and stereotypes and join the wixen community globally”. blishwix mission statement aims to create a platform for wixen of all types across the world to interact free of prejudice and judgement and to bring the magical community into a modern era free of harmful ideologies. of course that’s a fucking lie, so if you play a baddy bad who’s pretending to be goody good then this could be a fun collaboration. 

partnerships - alternatively, let’s see some honest to good people and groups get schemed by these fuckers. this would involve some potential screwing over but no worries, at the end of the day blishwix will tank and then your character can get their sweet revenge on this man and his corrupt business. 

idk hmu with ideas.

Harry Williams met a boy on the train taking them to Hogwarts. He thought they had become friends, but quickly realised that's not how easy it is.

Tom Riddle met a talkative but shy boy on the Hogwarts Express. He had been unreasonably nice and Tom didn't like it. He liked it even less when Harry was nice to everyone other than Tom.

Daughters of House Black: Misapinoa Blishwick née Black

Misapinoa was a pure-blood witch. She was an early member of the House of Black. She married a pure-blood wizard named Jimbo Blishwick. Misapinoa lived to a hundred, which is unusual because members of the Black family often died young by wizarding standards.

Her parents were Licorus Black and Magenta Tripe. Misapinoa was the sister of Arcturus Black I and Cygnus Black I. She was the aunt of Phineas Nigellus Black and his siblings, but it is unknown if she had any children.

She is depicted on the Black family tree tapestry in 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

[bellwood-qudditch]

Cygnus Black I

Faceclaim: Lucas Jade Zumann

“The son of Licorus and Magenta Black, the brother of Misapinoa Blishwick and Arcturus Black I, husband of Ella Max and father of Sirius I, Phineas Nigellus, Elladora and Iola Hitchens”

February 14th, 1829–June 30th, 1851

Blishwick Family Portraits

Misapinoa Blishwick nee Black. 1826-1926. Sister of Phineas Nigellus Black. Wife of Jimbo Blishwick. Mother of Ernest Blishwick.

Misapinoa was brought up in the strict traditions of the noble House of Black. She was a stern and serious woman who bore her husbands eccentricities with some reproach. She was 49 years of age when she at last became pregnant, bearing her first and only child Ernest.

Whilst outwardly dour, and traditionalist, some have suggested that Misapinoa had a secret more frivolous side, and indeed it seemed that she loved her husband dearly despite the headaches he caused her. She was also known to throw rather an enjoyable soiree.

Edit: There is now a fic to accompany these headcanons.

Did Jimbo and Misapinoa have any children?

Daughters. Rhichenda is not a daughter. She is from futher down the family line.

》​nombre; Georghette —Geoggie— Wendy Blishwick. 》edad; 18 años. 》casa; Darfor. 》bando; Celestius. 》fc; Cindy Kimberly. 》sangre pura. 》varita; De carpe. 》patronus; Un lince. 》boggart; Su hermano. 》amortentia; Vainilla, cuero & tierra húmeda. 》familiares; Emerick Christopher Blishwick (hermano). Victor Blishwick y Tanya Blishwick, de soltera Yaxley (padres). Jimbo Blishwick y Misapinoa Blishwick, de soltera Black (abuelos). 》biografía; Todas las familias de sangre pura están relacionadas entre sí para la perpetuidad de la raza pura de sangre. Georghette es hija de Victor Blishwick y Tanya Yaxley. Victor, su padre, cargaba con la tarea de asegurar la pureza y continuidad del apellido desde el momento de su nacimiento al ser el único progenitor de el matrimonio Blishwick. Así fue cómo ambas familias se vieron obligadas a unirse en matrimonio, del cual surgieron; Emerick, seguido dos años después por Geoggie. La pequeña familia de ganó tras el enlace un gran prestigio en el mundo mágico. El padre de la joven era ex-auror en Escocia y junto a su madre, ambos descendientese familias de mortifagos, se encargaron de que sua hijos recibieran una exquisita educación, por ello los enviaron a Durmstrang en vez de a Hogwarts, pues apoyaban la superioridad de la sangre pura e inculcaron sus creencias a la próxima generación de Blishwick. El problema llegó cuando en su primer año en la escuela especializada en artes oscuras, la joven Geoggie conoció a un mestizo en un castigo, había aprendido a evitarlos y estaba acostumbrada a no tratar con ninguno pero aquella tarde se le hizo imposible debido a que eran los únicos que se encontraban en el aula. En poco tiempo el joven se convirtió en su amigo, su mejor amigo, tan insalvables eran las diferencias entre ambos que aunque lo intentaran terminaban atrayéndose mutuamente, como dos polos opuestos. Dante, así es como se llamaba, le hizo ver que todos los magos son iguales y que la sangre no determina nada en el poco tiempo que pasaron juntos como amigos. Más tarde y como era inevitable, ambos Darfor se convirtieron en algo más, pero se vieron obligados a mantenerlo en secreto. En su último curso, Emerick los descubrió juntos, tal fue su desagrado que se lo comunicó a sus padres y éstos hicieron lo imposible por separarlos, llegando a amenazar a su propia hija. Los días posteriores Emerick ni se separó de su hermana, le prohibió volver a ver a su amigo, la joven tan desobediente como siempre no tardó en escabullirse pero aquel, su ultimo día juntos, Dante se despidió de Wendy, como le gustaba llamarle, sus padres habían amenazado a su familia y la influencia de los Blishwick en el ministerio podía hacer mucho daño a los suyos. Desde entonces, el amor que sintieron se fue apagando poco a poco, la chica comenzó a odiarse, a ella y a su familia, su apellido le había destrozado una oportunidad de ser feliz y por muchas que fueran las insistencias de sus padres ella no iba a ser igual que ellos. 》personalidad; Es una chica tranquila, responsable, no le gusta el quidditch ni los deportes, prefiere pasarse horas escribiendo o leyendo cualquier cosa antes que montar en una escoba. Por mucho que sus padres lo hayan intentado no puede ver a los mestizos como inferiores. Tras mucho tiempo sin dirigirles palabra alguna por haberle separado de Dante, decidió perdonarles pero nunca volvió a ser la niña buena que ellos esperaban —"manten a tus amigos cerca y a tus enemigos más aún"— frase que su padre le inculcó y que ahora utilizaba en su contra. 》prueba de rol; El sol comenzaba a descender en el hogar de los Blishwick, los ladrillos negros de la fachada no acaparaban el color ámbar que se había establecido sobre el lago, que se movía en pequeñas ondas por el viento primaveral que a esta hora, era más notorio. Geoggie se concentró cerrando los ojos en escuchar el sonido de esa brisa en los árboles del bosque que rodeaba el terreno. No pudo evitar estremecerse pues no había sacado ningún tipo de abrigo y en Escocia eso era un acto de valentía, pues las temperaturas era bajas en exceso. Cuando se levantó del césped en el que se encontraba sentada, el sonido de las alas de Venom, la lechuza familiar, le hizo ponerse en alerta. Siempre enviaba una carta a sus primos del norte en las vacaciones, nunca antes éstas solían regresar tan temprano pero esta vez entre las garras de Venom había un sobre, cuando la lechuza alcanzó a Georghette, ésta dejó caer la carta, la cual la niña agarró en su trayecto al suelo. Antes de abrirla pensó en qué podría ser pero al no conseguir respuesta de sus pensamientos abrió el sobre con cuidado de no romperlo. Con el ceño algo fruncido, comenzó a leer, susurrando lo escrito con un fino hilo de voz. ❝ Por medio de la presente le informo a el Sr./Sra. Georghette W. Blishwick que ha sido aceptado en el instituto de magia Durmstrang y que dispone de una vacante para ser utilizada por usted hacednos llegar la respuesta. ...❞ No notó la fuerza que empleaba al agarrar el pergamino hasta haber concluido la lectura de éste que añadía información sobre la indumentaria, libros y demás. Sin esperar ni un solo minuto corrió hacia la casa con una gran sonrisa en busca de sus padres, celebraron la noticia con bstante animo para tratarse de gente tan seria. Su hermano no tomó la noticia como ellos, comenzó a murmurar incoherencias con el ceño fruncido, no quería a su hermana en el mismo instituto que él pues sabía que tendría que sacarla de demasiados líos antes incluso de que entrara, aunque eso no hizo que la pequeña borrara su sonrisa, sino todo lo contrario pues una vez hubo terminado de hablar, fue en busca de su más preciada pluma para escribir en su diario la noticia. Le gustaba retener así momentos muy preciados.

❝ What, like it’s hard? ❞ huh, who’s REBECCA RITTENHOUSE? no, you’re mistaken, that’s actually SELENE BLISHWICK NEÉ ROWLE. she is a THIRTY-THREE year old PUREBLOOD witch who is VP OF TALENT AND PARTNERSHIPS AT A WIXEN TECH & MEDIA COMPANY. she is known for being SELF-ABSORBED, VAIN, APATHETIC, DECEITFUL, and CONTROLLING but also SAVVY, RESILIENT, CREATIVE, ENERGETIC, and ENTHUSIASTIC, so that must be why she always reminds me of the song OH NO! by MARINA and FRESHLY LIT SOY CANDLES, CRYSTAL PAPERWEIGHTS, THE PERFECT SELFIE LIGHTING, WHITE LINEN SHIRTS, AND BROKEN WINE GLASSES. i hear she is aligned with THE DEATH EATERS, so be sure to keep an eye on her.

A Q&A WITH SELENE BLISHWICK, MODERN WITCH AND BOSS B*TCH

Witch Weekly caught up with the Vice President of Talent and Partnerships at Blishwix (and new mom!) for some insight into her favourite things and tips on how to be your best #girlboss.

What’s your uniform?

Jumpsuits, flowy blouses and wide-legged pants, sunglasses that cover most of my face, and a sensible heel. A red lippie is also a must.

What was your first job?

Being Gryffindor Prefect feels like it should have qualified as a job, considering all the time I spent on patrol!

Your morning routine?

Well, my son is three months old and has just started to fall into a sleep routine (thank Merlin!) so he will gently rouse (read: scream) me awake around 5:30. I’ll usually breastfeed while checking my emails, texts, and DMs, because it’s all about multitasking! One perk of traveling as much as I have is that I have friends in almost every timezone — the notifs are constant. After Zephyr is fed, I’ll pass him off to my husband to play peek-a-boo while I shower, foam roll, and make a green juice or tea.

I’m working from home until we transition Zep to having a nanny, so I generally won’t get dressed unless I have lunch or a meeting to attend.

First celebrity crush?

Oh, this is so embarrassing — the drummer from Nine Inch Wands? I had a severe goth phase. It happens to the best of us.

Wouldn’t leave home without?

Moonflower moisturizer from UNICRN, a (fully-charged) laptop, a fresh orange. 

Proudest moment?

When Wick changed a nappy for the first time — I knew then and there our marriage was sturdier than a mountain made of trolls.

Your bucket-list wellness experience?

I have seen so many kitschy Korean spa trips on WixPix. I want one of those treatments where they scrub you within an inch of your life. Then a nice soak in a seaweed bath and just like, a bucket of bibimbap.

Mentors?

Every woman who has ever worked at Blishwix. Getting to know so many interesting and inspiring witches at every age — it’s so wonderful. Witnessing their lives, their wins, and their woes has lead me to believe more in myself and trust that I am headed into the direction I am meant to go.

Perfect Sunday afternoon?

Shopping in Diagon or Sloane Street with my sister Vesta, then home to snuggle with my baby and enjoy something pasta-y and delicious with my husband that evening.

The things you buy in bulk?

Pepperup — I’m so susceptible to colds — cashmere-wool mid calf socks, and freeze-dried strawberries.

Drink of choice?

I’m obsessed with juices — anything that’s very kale-forward. If I’m being naughty, a dry martini or gillywater and gin.

Favourite movie?

The Woodstock documentary! It's so beautiful and inspiring that thousands of people came together for three wonderful days of peace and music.

How often do you recharge your crystals?  

Every full moon!

asndksjdfsd ANYWAY. some shit abt selene’s personality: 

like her husband, selene blishwick is full of shit. if wick is the engineer and tech brain behind blishwix’s products, selene is the ‘natural’-product peddling, #influencerstatus, charming (read: bitchy White Feminist) face of the brand and responsible for seeking the up-and-coming entertainers and corporations who will take their company from impressive start-up to cultural mainstay. like wick, selene’s primary objective is to get blishwix products and apps into every wix’s hand to track and monitor their behavior — and her immediate second objective is to make a fuckton of money doing so.

don’t let her foolish, goop-esque ways fool you — selene is constantly scheming about how to utilize the latest trends to squeeze an unsuspecting public dry of both their money and their private info.

she and her husband do love each other and are clearly a work team/match made in hell, but there’s def some mutual cheating going on that they should probably address (but will they?!?! who knows) 

selene’s relationship with her younger sister vesta is complicated. vesta knows how to push her buttons and strike at her insecurities, many of which stem from the fact that selene fears her sister can and will usurp her in terms of glamor, style, talent, etc. she loves ves but it’s hidden under a thick layer of backhanded compliments and petty betrayals.

selene is terrified of aging. catch her slathering on skin products every second of every day

[POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION TW] she loves her son zephyr (even more than she loves the number of likes he’ll get on her wixpix), but selene is suffering from postpartum depression hard and is yet to realize that she can’t reiki meditate her way out of it [end tw]
