Charlene Fairchild

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 that’s not even counting that little dance between Rachel and Joey! No, both Char 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 she’d broken his heart yet again came crashing down. Charlene 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 they’d been hooking up on-and-off since that fateful night when Roxy Kane kidnapped him. Forget the way they argued and screaming ‘this is the LAST time!’ before, well. Forget that beautiful, heart aching day of being human together. Forget all that and there was one question that Charlene 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: ‘I’m not good enough for you’. There it was, the driving emotion behind every terrible mistake she’d made. She wasn’t 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 they’d been wasting so much time. That they were in love with each other. That this was it. That’s 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. Charlene hadn’t 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

Charlene 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.

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 Roxy’s 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 Charlene, 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 Bell’s life when he bit her and she more than agreed they should take care of her. (Cole using the word ‘pack’ might be too soon but let’s be honest...). When Jake Howell was left the stand-in leader of the Sparks Pack, he leaned on Cole too.

Ivy O’Connor 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 Havensdale’s witches help to keep it that way although sometimes Charlene wonders if Engel is just letting them play pretend.

Wanted Connections

Anyone taking up residence in Ivy’s 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 Cole’s 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 haven’t 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 don’t 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

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 least‚ 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 1970‚ 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 them‚ tho we rarely see their like today)#and then there's the odd case of the final ep‚ 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 credits‚ 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 solid‚ 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 time‚ leaving it feeling a little stretched thin and #flimsy. a shame‚ 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 malice‚ she from shocked indignation to making peace with it all)#no big surprises in where the play is headed or how it plays out‚ 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 twist‚ and this plays it about right. it's just too long is all.

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

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 ✨Thoughts✨ about someone I met tonight

#also good thing about having a gender neutral name is that it works for any gender so I’m 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 he’s from 85…….. so…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 he’s around my age #also he was my height it’s 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 couldn’t #hear #anyway absolutely nothing will happen I just got a bit carried away #but!#didn’t really help that around the end he was smoking and dancing and had his shirt opened a bit #‘tu savais que la saint [redacted] c’était le [redacted]?´ the urge to answer oui je me l’auto fête depuis une bonne dizaine d’année #et adore mentionner que j’ai toujours des feux d’artifices pour mes fêtes #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 quién es tu nueeevo amooor? tuu nueeva ocuupación 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
