Ceylan Farhi
She/Her
23 years old (Birthday: 31st May)
Witch - powers currently dormant
Neutral with a touch of Resistance Ally
So What Happened?
Prom Night
Prom Night was a lot. And thatās not even counting that little dance between Rachel and Joey! No, both Ceylan and Cole Atwood were roped into chaperoning. After about a hundred longing looks from across the room, that damn song had to come on and... Well... The reality of how sheād broken his heart yet again came crashing down. Ceylan looked away. She ran out the room.
But this time? Oh, this time, Cole Atwood was not going down without a fight. Forget the way theyād been hooking up on-and-off since that fateful night when Roxy Kane kidnapped him. Forget the way they argued and screaming āthis is the LAST time!ā before, well. Forget that beautiful, heart aching day of being human together. Forget all that and there was one question that Ceylan had never answered: Why?
Why did she leave him? Why did she break his heart? Why could she just never tell the whole damn truth? They scream, they cried, it started raining. And she finally screamed the truth: āIām not good enough for youā. There it was, the driving emotion behind every terrible mistake sheād made. She wasnāt good enough for someone as kind, as sweet and caring, as Cole. Cole who should have had a big future ahead, leaving her behind for his college scholarship (pre-werewolf bite).
The world might as well have stopped spinning when they both realised that theyād been wasting so much time. That they were in love with each other. That this was it. Thatās what it had always felt like and it was time to just shut the hell up and get it together.
They were snuggled in bed the morning after when the news eventually broke about Leo and Effy. It was beyond devastating for Cole. Ceylan hadnāt known what to do- she even offered in a terrible whisper to bring Effy back at the expense of her own humanity. But in the end, the best thing she could do was stay.
Founders Festival and Domesdale
Ceylan and Cole were together when everything happened. Going to the Founders Festival seemed like such a pointless idea, you know? But maybe they needed a little embarrassing town spirit. Danny was gonna be selling pancakes and everything, so! It should have been just what they needed.Ā
When everything went down, they both knew they had to keep their loved ones safe. It was one of the last times she used her magic as she was still suffering the after effects of Roxyās provoking. Thankfully, they made it but it was only the beginning.
There were devastating loses in the beginning especially... That among other things made it clear they had to try and help in any way they can. But for Ceylan, her unstable magic threatened to push her over the edge more and more. She decided to ask her grandma to box it- make it dormant- before something bad happened.
In this time, she watched Cole step up to be the leader- the Alpha- for wayward werewolves and friends. He saved Stella Bellās life when he bit her and she more than agreed they should take care of her. (Cole using the word āpackā might be too soon but letās be honest...). When Jake Howell was left the stand-in leader of the Sparks Pack, he leaned on Cole too.
Ivy OāConnor also took manners into her own hands to help protect people. She turned the Inn into a safe place for people to live/hide/take shelter. The magic of Havensdaleās witches help to keep it that way although sometimes Ceylan wonders if Engel is just letting them play pretend.
Wanted Connections
Anyone taking up residence in Ivyās Inn!
Warlocks that have tried to antagonize her or have gotten into it with her before she suppressed her magic.
Werewolfy connections from being in Coleās life etc etc.

my arts been doing bad on twtter. ive recovered in the past but i worry this time will be different. the idea of losing such a large platform makes me wonder if theres point in continuing even if i feel tremendously guilty admitting that.
as my therapist pointed out today: ppl still like my art. still when i think about it i think there are other artists for you all though. better ones have come along and better ones will still come.
im in my 20s and i havenāt really gotten a chance to live my life properly since the pandemic bc of it. still art is important to me and the idea of losing it has me feeling listless. what do i do when its been who i am for years.
im unsure tbh if im going to quit.
i draw what i like but i donāt see purpose in drawing for myself.
anyways this isnt that deep my therapist is just on leave next week and i wanna cut my hair again
#delete later#a morbid thought ig but the idea was always#well if i stopped what if i regret it 10#20 years later#but if i dont have 10 years#is there time to regret it if i stopped#idk what to do its like complete and sudden loss of motivation#ive been trying to pick myself up from it#but i just wanna lay here ig#theres also the question of a honed skill being discarded#though i mean there were lots of things i was skilled at as a kid that i discarded#swimming was one running was also another#ig i lost those more bc i developed a panic disorder#and like the worst place for that is maybe when ur in a deep pool center lane#maybe this was the thing that made me unique#but its also not a thing i advertise irl if anything i actively hide it and just lie#i havent made every piece ive wanted to make

How fortunate am I to have so many Things to love and be excited about, to appreciate and look forward to?
Things I feel so strongly about that they stumble into my mind, univited, at random times of the day? Things that spill into my speech and vocabulary without me noticing? Things that impact my vision to the point where everywhere I look, everywhere I go, I see ghosts of them?
How lucky am I to have so many Things I love and cherish enough for them to reshape my very person, change my beliefs and make me grow? Things that make my own loved ones see the Things out in the wild, and go out of their way to make sure I see them too?
How wonderful is it that I have Things that I love so much that the very act is deemed and dubbed "not normal", making my love for them seem like it's more than they are supposed to recieve? An out-of-the-ordinary and above-the-norm appreciation for the Things that make the people around me shake their heads, call me "silly".
My dear, beloved Things, may I always stay silly for you ā¤ļø
#yes this is yet another post about legendborn lmao#but also one of my friends sent me a post with a reminder to log into Genshin today#just to get the birthday-greeting card for one of my/my favorite character#and they send me this because even though it's my favorite character#this person also knows I don't actually play genshin that much and knows that I would probably miss it if they didn't remind me š„ŗš„ŗ#and my friends let me yap about Legendborn the other day lol#and my fellow legendbornian-in-crime commented on my insta story about annotating the book that ānoone loves this series more than youā#which ofc isn't *TRUE* true but it still made me feel all fuzzy lol#my parents also got me a few sets of silver earrings for christmas bcs I mentioned in passing I wanted more silver jewelry#and one of the pairs they got me was with owls because Owl City has been one of my favorite artists since forever#and I THRIVED in 2012-fashion bcs the owl jewelry was fkn EVERYWHERE and I got SO MANY because it made me think of Owl City lol#and my brother got me The Book Of Bill bcs both he and I love Gravity Falls SO MUCH#I just love āØļø loving āØļø things I guess#so this post is very much a love letter to my special interests and hyperfixations <333#currently have had 'Tears Run Dry' by Patrik Jean on repeat for the past 2 or so days bcs it's fkn STUNNING#but it also makes me think about my friend's ArleFuri fic bcs it just fits so welll šš#and at the same time (and the reason I have it so within reach lol) is bcs I have added it to an OC's playlist for a story I'm writing#I have so damn many things I love and I almost start crying thinking about how fortunate I am to have all these things I love so dearly#and live in a time where all of these things exist and I get to experience them all at a moment's notice#and just simply get to indulge in fandom behaviour and have people around me who also LET ME do that#i love hearing people yap about what they're passionate about regardless if I know what it is or not#like how beautiful isnt it to see someone's eyes sparkle and looking like they're itching all over because they simply can't help it#they just can't contain their love and passion for the Thing ??? absolutely incredible#tove rambles#oh and don't fkn get me started on how 'Dream Catcher' by Set It Off basically is the reason I'm so determined to become one#and it being part of how I made my 17-year old self believe I could actually do what I CURRENTLY DO nearly 10 years later

i'm gonna be honest i'm doing pretty bad rn. i'll live but somethings gonna snap sooner or later
#germ and disease paranoia mixed with emetophobia mixed with the state of the world#mixed with feeling bad abt feeling bad bc EVERYONE is living thru most of this stuff and is doing fine. they've got jobs and lives and stuff#meanwhile i'm holding on by a thread here.#snapping could be as small as shaving my head or as big as running thru the streets naked screaming i'm not entirely sure#another level of fear for me. what do i do at my breaking point. i've never been there before#but i'm walking on a tightrope rn#it just feels like i get like 5 days out of every month we're everything is okay. and the rest of it is just bad and fear#and i'm expected to use those 5 days to be productive but i have to use it to recharge#and it isn't even enough days to do thatļæ¼#i'm just tired in my head. the last time i wasn't was 5 years ago and that's hitting really hard#and that's an example of what i'm talking about! everyone lived thru covid and they're LIVING THEIR LIVES NOW. i should be able to too#i have no room to complain so many have it so much worse than me#i can't keep having breakdowns in bed at 2 in the morning. it's been on and off for 5 years#when are things gonna be ok again. get good without something else getting worse.#is it ever gonna be that way again? can it please be that way again?#i miss being 10 i miss my old house i miss my hometown i miss when things were simple#i had all these things to do i had friends and was every teachers favorite student and everything felt like it was gonna be alright#now it feels like nothings ever just gonna be ok. i think everything gonna just be wrong forever#i'm gonna go take a shower and try to clear my head i'll be back later#sassy speaks

Shadows of Fear: Did You Lock Up? (1.1, Thames, 1970)
"And they didn't make much mess?"
"No, not really. They forced that door. Smashed the cabinet, slashed a sofa. And kicked a hole in the bedroom door."
"Ah. Big mistake."
"What is?"
"Never lock inside doors. Anything you can to keep them out - but when they're in, let 'em get on with it."
"I'll remember."
#shadows of fear#single play#roger marshall#1970#classic tv#thames#kim mills#michael craig#gwen watford#ray smith#mark mcmanus#malcolm kaye#charles leno#having come to something of a premature pause in my New Scotland Yard watch (the first ep of series 3 isn't on the YT playlist I've been#using and is proving quite tricky to get ahold of) i thought I'd revisit this brief lived anthology series for the creepy season. i first#watched this about 10 years ago and my memories of it are scant to say the leastā so it seemed like good viewing for the season#the production history of SoF is lost in the mists of time (unless someone out there wishes to enlighten me?); this first episode was shown#in June of 1970ā but the rest didn't follow until January of the following year; probably this acted as a sort of pilot to gauge viewer#reactions to another vaguely horrorish anthology series (the previous decade had been ripe with themā tho we rarely see their like today)#and then there's the odd case of the final epā shown almost 2 years after the series ended and running to half the length (and generally#feeling like an entirely different format) but I'll come to that when (and if) i get to the episode itself. this debut ep is... well it's#fine. i was excited to see Marshall's name in the opening creditsā one of the most dependable of old tv writers and I'd quite forgotten he#contributed to this show. but the issue here is simply one of length. the plot is solidā a suitably grotty little tale of a family man's#mounting obsession with the burglars who broke into his home. it would make a good ep of Tales of Unease (shortly to begin on Thames'#sister broadcaster LWT) or a few years later as an episode of Tales of the Unexpected; both being 25 minute shows. but this clocks in at#close to 50 mins and there isn't really enough to it to sustain that longer running timeā leaving it feeling a little stretched thin and#flimsy. a shameā because Craig and Watford are putting in excellent performances as the middle class couple whose reactions to the burglary#slowly shift as time passes (he goes from prosaic acceptance to fixated maliceā she from shocked indignation to making peace with it all)#no big surprises in where the play is headed or how it plays outā but that's often the case with these things; it's often just as much#about the horrible foreknowledge of what must come than some shocking twistā and this plays it about right. it's just too long is all.

my uncle is the kinda ~leftist~ guy who will say shit like 'DEI is essential to ensuring women are properly recognized and compensated' and 'I'm pro-choice and donate to planned parenthood' and then 30 minutes later will say the most vile, misogynistic shit about his own mother & sister with the ease of someone ordering off the dollar menu at mcdonalds
#kinda guy that says 'i'm a feminist' and then would get outraged if you asked him when the last time he did his own laundry was#man is 65 years old and my asshole would fall out if he's done his own laundry over 10 times in his whole life#he also talks sooooooooooooooo much shit about my other side of the family and how disgusting they are for being from the south#and it's like...... I'm sitting... right here you know. you're saying these things TO ME....#I just sit there with a dead-eyed smile like jfc#cause. for as much as he and my mom (his sister) hate one another and say omg such a dick!#they are the same person! they are NEVER in the wrong. they are always the smartest person in the room#the only difference is I know exactly how to play it with my uncle cause he's very ego driven#just sit and nod and smile and go hmmmmmm wow yeah#and he is happy. he is the grand master. he knows all#they're both of them fuckin stupid. and I feel bad my grandparents' kids turned into...... them#I had to get that all out before the holiday I had to I'm sorry I had to vent god I feel so much better now#delete later

i do understand the motivation from people in general to think of ships as together during the course of the piece of media, it's fun to think they're kissing and sometimes it's just interesting to cosnider what it'd mean for them at certain plot beats, but for godai/ichijou i really think if they were together, and their feelings were fully realised and fulfilled it kind of just takes the wind out of a lot of moments i find really impactful... not to mention i just don't think they'd act the exact same if they were together at that point
like don't get me wrong i can see how it's fun to explore them as together during x moment or y moment, but i just don't personally find it very satisfying to view them as together at any point during the show as my legitimate headcanon
#ik it's a popular one but ep 20 is not a post-confession moment its a ichijou has relaised his silly crush is LOVE moment to me.#i dont think ichijou hospital scene ep 38 or godai talking to tsubaki before leaving or goichi goodbyes would have the impact they do#if godai and ichijou had acknowledged it and were just dating....#let alone i think their behaviours and the things expressed and said in those scenes are emblematic that there's somethign unadressed......#ah well. back to my [looks at notes] dear god. 135k wip of them getting together after the show when godai returns#(not 10 years later because i dooo not approach the novel as truly canon)#<- dont mind me i will be at this for another year at leastt lol#rambles#kuugaposting#goichi

i dont condone harassment but sometimes a bitch attitude is needed
#about the time my ex-bsf abandoned me at an event i payed 10Ā£ a ticket for#45 mins away from the nearest train station#they had the nerve to text me an hour later like āi hope you werent third wheelingā#(they gulittripped me into being friends w them for another year before i had to drop them bc they were ruining my mental health)#like im not saying its me im just saying dont be surprised when rumours spread about you#(also they have acted like this towards all of my friends and said fatphobic and racist and religious-discriminatory things towards me)#this isnt even half the context (dm me) but this person is iredeemable i dont feel bad (if you try to support this person ill eat your eyes

your first love hits different
#another day another vent-in-the-tags post#i came across a picture of me and my fiest boyfriend of five years today. picture must've been 10 years old at this point#found many more pictures of him and us on my dad's old pc#i can just feel my body pull and heart ache when i look at him in the pictures#wondering what my life would've looked like if i hadn't broken things off between us#we tried to stay friends and a couple of months later we went for a drink. when daying goodbye he moved in to kiss me#i was hesitant and stepped away. he couldn't bare having me in his life while not being together so he cut off all contact#don't get me wrong in any of my thoughts- i love babe whole heartedly and he's the only man for me now and in my future#it's just that nagging feeling burried deep. the 'what if's. what if i felt more confident about my body back then?#what if i hadn't moved on so quickly? what if i had let him kiss me?#i tried texting him telling him i was approved for gbp surgery (i broke things off because i was very insecure about my body)#he congratulated me and sincerely wished me all the happiness in the world but also asked me not to contact him again after this#it's been 7-ish years but every now and then i wonder how he's doing and what he's up to#he doesn't really have social media apart from facebook (and that page is private) and i only stayed in touch with his former best friend#but i'm not gonna ask him because i know they haven't spoken in years either#i've had plenty more relationships after him but i rarely ever think about those guys#am i okay? is this normal? lol#i should get my head out of this rabbit hole asap#add: the picture is almost 15 years old lol. my math ain't mathing. we met in 2009. not that it's important#i think i just moved on too quickly and didn't allow myself time & space to grieve. that's why he keeps popping up in my thoughts now & then

Thinking about that post that said would you ever date someone who has the same name as you and might have to change my answer as I had āØThoughtsāØ about someone I met tonight
#also good thing about having a gender neutral name is that it works for any gender so Iām good#anyway maybe it was only the wine doing things to me but I was already starting to consider it#and then a kid that was about 10 years old got there and called him dad and I said oops how old is he then??#after hearing a conversation he had with someone else heās from 85ā¦ā¦.. soā¦38#like gorl you think you found yourself a dilf?? come onnn#nope#anywayyy later on he also told me he has another son who lives in the north so imagine if heās around my age#also he was my height itās funny same name same height#and I heard him ask someone something about me as they were looking at me and I heard my name and country and stuff but pretended I couldnāt#hear#anyway absolutely nothing will happen I just got a bit carried away#but!#didnāt really help that around the end he was smoking and dancing and had his shirt opened a bit#ātu savais que la saint [redacted] cāĆ©tait le [redacted]?Ā“ the urge to answer oui je me lāauto fĆŖte depuis une bonne dizaine dāannĆ©e#et adore mentionner que jāai toujours des feux dāartifices pour mes fĆŖtes#I moved on but I can still say he has the perfect dad body and charisma and is pretty fun and nice k bye#thinking about this as quiĆ©n es tu nueeevo amooor? tuu nueeva ocuupaciĆ³n tu misterioooso aaalguien is playing

today all im gonna be able to think about is how WEIRD it is that i have a cousin out there that i just. don't know. never met her never will. bc the state decided my aunt couldn't possibly care for more than 2 of her sister's kids and placed her with another, unrelated, family. btw the state gave my aunt the next 2 kids her sister had, and one was born like. 10 months after they placed my cousin elsewhere.
#dont reblog this please#also#we basically know she was placed with a friend of her caseworker too which makes me sad#why tf is foster care a 'if you got a friend' kind of thing i thought the state was supposed to prioritize keeping the kid in the family???#the state rly was like 'oh you couldn't possibly handle 3 under 3'#the state 10 months later: 'we know the oldest is only barely 4 years old but here's another newborn bye'

- au version of an already existing fictional character (who was based on someone else)
- charismatic <3 and kind of chaotic
- I got obsessed with them a multiple of 5 years later after they were created. which was in 2012
- gave me a career awakening and drastically altered my music taste
- blue eyes
- they get trapped under something which leads to their foot being separated from their body but they survive afterwards
- general themes of escaping/avoiding death/being immune/etc.
#tflu au swag based on mainverse swag based on the 2012 onceler based on the original onceler#well and the lighthouse au kenny based on south park kenny based on some kid irl who never showed up to school and everyone said was dead#obsessed with kenny 2017 (5 years later) and swag 2022 (10 years later)#kenny indirectly led to me wanting to do music at college and then uni (unrelated but also the reason i learnt to drive)#swag Directly led to me wanting to do archiving#kenny gets trapped under a load of rubble but like one foot is left sticking out and he's dead but. he's fine the next day#swag gets his foot trapped under a freezer and has to get it amputated#kenny can't die swag is ''immune'' to the virus etc etc#anyway#another thing they have in common is they both make me wanna throw things out the window if i think too hard about them#and also another thing they have in common is they're making me stay up to type this unnecessary post when it's 2.35am and i should sleep#ramble#anyway read the well and the lighthouse and my 17yo self will disintegrate and die due to hyperfixation related complications <3

ough. little known book series. ough
#Š±Š°Š»Š°Š±Š¾Š»ŠøŠ¼#i'm losing my mind cause of ŃŠŗŠ²Š¾Š·Š½ŃŠŗŠø book series again. ough. at that again#the whole. main char being sent to another worlds to alter them slightly for all of them to harmonise. basically.#so that these worlds would heal of whatever problem that they have#and like. THE IMPLICATIONS#i have two REALLY old ocs and at first i went like āwell you can heal and summon cool glowing bat wings that can act as a shieldā#āand you're telepathic and can create illusions and phychic damageā#and 10 years later i reread the stories and each world is build differently which means that magic works differently in each#and everyone has different relationship with their magic (like if you have vivid imagination you can create stuff more easily)#(but if you can't visualise how chemistry works for example a cup of tea you just made will taste like nothing and dissapear in the throat)#(and you might not be able to do it for. reasons)#AND THE WHOLE āYOU CHANGE TO FIT THE WORLD DESPITE NOTHING REALLY CHANGING FOR YOUā it's not said explicitly BUT THE IMPLICATION OF THAT#like. main char meets alien psychis cats basically (they're called mya. yea) and they kinda. simulate the whole āget in another worldā thing#AND SHE BECOMES MYA AND REMEMBERS THEIR WORLD THROUGH THE LENSES OF THE EXPERIENCE OF HER HOME WORLD#like. they show her photos of her and other myas in different locations and doesn't remember any of that#she meets humans everywhere but are they really humans and not just. The Main Sentient Species that she gets turned into#so she sees them as human too? and where she can't āadaptā her vision with previous life experience some two concepts get#mushed together to create something in the middle that is close enough? (myas for example)#ough.#this is a children's book series that didn't get popular but was popular enough to get a reboot with new book covers (most popular ones tho)#AND it's not even that good.#AND i'm going insane because i wanna translate it but it was PUN WORDPLAY which is rare for me (in my language)#and if i'd try to do that i would go INSANE

Do you have a feeling that you have super strength?
Absolutely not but itād be great if the clairvoyance dialed down a bit sometimes
#another anon ask#(i do not believe in clairvoyance)#fr tho call me Delphi the way things I have random bad feelings about happen 10 years later for real#sitting in ā5th grade thinking ^what if I donāt to get to have all the cool events for finishing school like I never went to 1st grade?^#guess what happened - we never got to have any of those and *barely* managed to get the ^congrats on finishing school^ ceremony#thinking ^what if I fall off after school and donāt know what to do and am just stuck^#I have been failing all my studies for years and am about to switch them again#talked in the 2010ās with a friend that went like ^yea thereās a epidemic every 100 years in the 20ās imagine if^#it was a whole ass PANdemic#thought ^3-4gens are enough for Germans to forget the consequences of their past actions^#I might have to flee the country in a few years because of Nazis#so now my brain keeps getting attached to anything following this pattern. Itās highly annoying#in other news the number/year 30 is giving BAD vibes#since I was 14#so THATS fun!#like. Chill out brain#your precognition skills have a 5% success rate and most of it comes from analyzing basic societal trends
