❣ Ophelia

Pros:

She stocks her store quite often, so if you ever need anything, she'll more than likely have it.

Has a lot of knowledge when it comes to items, whether in her store or not.

Has a lot of prior history of being an adventurer. So she'll always have a story to tell.

Cons:

She will not cut you a deal just because you're her partner. You have to pay just like everyone else.

Does not have a lot of patience when it comes to stupidity. She's older and wiser now.

She smokes. A lot.

Tumblr? You mean what Hamlet did to Ophelia after promising to marry her?

MEANWHILE ... !!!

ᯓ🐰˖° Like many others tuned in to the local news, Rabbot saw the broadcast live— and a part of him wish he hadn’t.

It was at his favorite bodega, while the cottontail crimefighter waited for his usual order: four hoagies, two juices and a jug of water. Yet, his lunch order would be placed on hold as breaking news blasted on an old television behind the register. 

The scene of two street-level supers held everyone’s attention in the small shop, all except for a mother and her son (who was pleading for not one but two candy bars). Rabbot tilted his head to get a better look as the owner turned up the volume.

When the fight first started and fists flew, Rabbot checked in with the ATLAS emergency comms, but everything seemed fine and all under control … hold on, wasn’t that @schattenmagier? He met her not too long ago.

Dispatch told him over the line that it was ‘just your run-of-the-mill squabble between street level amateurs.’

Until it wasn’t.

It took less than a second for Schatten to slaughter the first villain victim. Just enough time for Rabbot to rush over and cover the kid’s eyes. Both him and the mother shared a look, even behind the opaque rabbit’s helm, and then turned their attention back over to the television screen (the kid whined ‘no fair!’ and that he wanted to see, too!!!)

Rabbot didn’t know the grim gunslinger, but he knew the hero. Talked to ‘em a couple times in passing; nothing substantial— but enough to know they didn’t deserve that kind of death.

Neither of them had.

ᯓ💜˖° Somewhere else, Peekaboo saw it too. Though not dressed in her signature sparkles, but instead dolled up in a backstage dressing room of some hole-in–the-wall lounge. She comforted another artist with a stomach far more queasy than hers ever could be, and helped touch up his makeup after the shock wore off.

After all, not everyone was so accustomed to death.

It was a quiet night much after, with only a few murmurs whispered amidst the crowd while watchful eyes paid far closer attention to their shadows than before. Even up onstage and under the spotlight, Ophelia’s voice sang like a haunted lullaby for her restless crowd of regulars.

She’s deeply sorry about swallowing you.

But, the difference between people and food becomes all too blurry and murky for her mind once she begins to gorge herself senseless~

Hello, new mutuals and old mutuals alike—

ASSORTED HEADCANONS: Ophelia Chronsturn

She began playing the violin when she was three years old, and the piano when she was seven years old.

Although she was reluctant to begin learning the piano, her father insisted — knowing that ultimately, it would be a major asset if Ophelia ever shifted to Regency England.

It is difficult for Ophelia to sit still for extended periods of time. When she is restless, she will either fidget in her chair or, if possible, pace around the room.

Her favorite Shakespeare plays are Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing.

Any skills that Ophelia picks up while time traveling or multiuniverse traveling will be retained when she is in the waking world. The curse will also sometimes provide her with a certain skill if it enables her to witness a particular historical event, such as new languages or etiquette. However, sometimes the curse will also “throw her to the wolves” and not give her any prior skills at all.

Her favorite historical fashion is the Mid-Victorian Era (1860’s-1880’s), though the fashion of the 1940’s comes as a close second.

Per plotting with @audaciiae, Ophelia is the only living direct descendant of Julius Caesar (yes, that Caesar)

She’s also directly descended from the philosopher Socrates on her father’s side of the family. In fact, it is the Socratic branch of the family that is responsible for the Chronsturn Curse. Socrates’ lineage was cursed shortly before his execution by a witch who was angry at the role that he had played in “corrupting the youth” of Athens.

Sometimes, if Ophelia draws a sketch of some sort of clothing, it will appear in her wardrobe during one of her Chronsturn Curse shifts.

In threads where Ophelia is in her early twenties, she is a member of Gen Z. She’ll be prone to utilizing modern slang terms and referencing trends during interactions, with no regard for whether this might be “cringe” or strange for the given universe. The older that she is, the less likely that this becomes.

Ophelia has spent an extraordinary amount of time attempting to find loopholes in the curse’s laws — particularly the caveat that she is not allowed to speak of her bizarre origins. The loopholes that she has found include the ability to discuss the curse in writing and the ability to allude to her origins through vague statements that indicate she knows more than she is allowed to share. The sole criteria is that she is forbidden from speaking the word “curse” out loud.

When Ophelia attended Georgetown University, she was active in the theatre department as one of her numerous extracurriculars. She would often act in musicals and plays, and even was the student director of several Shakespeare productions.

Swordsmanship is another strange hobby that Ophelia has picked up as a result of the Chronsturn Curse; she learnt to wield a sword while still a teenager, and was on the fencing team at Georgetown.

She is a gifted equestrian, and began riding horses at her father’s insistence when she was five years old.

Ophelia swears like a sailor in numerous languages, no matter the time period or universe she’s shifting to.

In her Percy Jackson universe, she is the daughter of the titan Cronus, and Cronus bestowed multiuniversal travel abilities upon Socrates’ lineage not as a curse, but as a blessing. However, this knowledge has long since been lost, leading to the widespread belief that their reality shifting is a curse. Ophelia is the first demigod child that Cronus has fathered in centuries, if not ever.

She is force sensitive in her Star Wars universe, and has a strong affinity for the dark side of the force.

❌Ophelia

"A little too eager to pry information from me, aren't you? Well, I shall humor you. I do fancy myself a bit of the, how they call it... edging. More specifically, telling others when it is their time to finish. Where's the fun if we're just going to do it whenever, hmm?"

This one is for everyone who knew and loved Ladynepthyss

For anyone who does not yet know, it is with deepest sorrow that I inform you all she passed away this past February due to medical complications. (I don’t know more about her death than that, so please don’t ask).

To everyone who was kind to her, everyone who was a friend, everyone who followed her work, who sent her encouraging asks, or commented on her fics, I cannot thank you enough. You brought joy into a life that could often be quite dark and difficult. Thank you so much for being there for her.

I am making this post because I need the help of anyone willing to give it.

I have been trying to find her writings to keep to remember her by. However, this is proving difficult because Ophelia had a tendency to delete old writing.

If any of you happen to have copies of works and chapters that are not currently here on tumblr or Ao3 that you feel comfortable sharing (especially her hetalia stuff), I implore you to send it to me. I would be forever grateful.

Also, if any of you have kept any of her edits, especially her faceclaims, please send me those too.

In general, if any of you remember

her physical descriptions and/or face claims of her characters (and locations) in her stories (especially I almost shiver)

A scene from on her fics (especially I almost shiver) that would make a good cover piece for a book of her works

Know any artists who she followed/liked

Please please let me know

I hope you will all remember her fondly.

Keep her in your heart. For our wonderful Ophelia writes no more.

CLOSED STARTER

Hearing those words made her heart run wild. Ophelia had feel deeply in love with the prince, so much so that she could not picture a life without him. Without Eleanor. The little girl who had made Ophelia's heart grow ten times it's size. "The Queen would never allow such a thing." The woman commented, as if the fact had been long forgotten.

Ophelia kissed him back, hand coming up to wrap around his wrist. "You shouldn't break it off because of me, Alastair. I am just a governess and your a prince. It's not worth it!"

severance oc... her name is ophelia and she has no issues at all

[earthiercurator]

Still no books on John William Waterhouse but Rossetti of the Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood & Lizzie Siddal, John Millias, John Ruskin is close enough for now. Plus Shakespeare, Renaissance art, and Alighieri reference all in one book is ✨decadent✨to me. Also sightly The Picture of Dorian Gray.
