who the heck is my muse anyway:

Ximena is a young brujeria practicing witch who was ~*mysteriously*~ spirited away from her home at age 5 with no memory of her past or self. Raised in the restricted environment of an abbey among sympathetic but uncaring sisters, she’s quite prim and proper to the public eye, but cares very little about the rules of society or her place in it.

She is also a ridiculously smart little girl. She will grow into a terrifyingly smart woman. With secrets sewn into her skin and a powerful network of magical creatures at her fingertips.

points of interest:

She’s very willing to learn and perform “dark” magicks, and can often be found reading questionable books and tomes of various subjects regarding the art. If you came at her with the offer to summon a demon together, she would be hooked almost immediately (though cautious, of course)

Near the middle of her adolescence, she begins to dabble in potioneering and finds herself very skilled at it. Through a questionable network of fellow witches, creatures, jealous ex-wives, and the like, she develops a steady stream of loyal customers and builds upon her craft.

Once reunited with her family, she is a part of a long reaching, long lasting network of witches and brujas that have lived in their forest for centuries. Perhaps millennia. The forest in which their home resides is an inter-dimentional one where time doesn’t always work properly (whatever ‘properly’ is).

Like her, her current living family is cursed with painful and involuntary immortality, alongside a few other choice effects. Ximena can die from just about anything, but she will always return after a brief visit with death: her body will take time to rebuild itself. She can stall her return to her living body if she wishes, but she can never permanently rest unless the curse is broken.

A by-product of her curse is her unending ache to know. To learn about everything she can possibly get her hands on: magic, languages, plants, mathematics, space, everything. Her hunger for knowledge cannot be satiated until she learns enough about a certain branch of magic...

Ximena literally does not care about the problem of people outside of herself and her loved ones. She’ll spare a moment of sympathy for the sake of her humanity, but she will not go out of her way to help unless she can get something out of it such as personal vindication or some rare item. Occasionally she will help others out of sheer curiosity, but it’s rare.

what they’ve been up to recently:

Making friends with demons of other cultures! From India @marakama​ to China @fwm-gsm​ to Korea @roanarch​ --She’s gatherin up them demonic business cards and seeing what she can trade for information or rare items.

Learning how to communicate with the dead successfully and without accidentally summoning a legion of the undead. Whoops! No necromancy here, she just wants to talk to her ancestors to see why the fuck she’s cursed and who she is!

Training her corvid friends to send messages and retrieve items using whistles and tongue clicks.

Forgetting her place around adults she doesn’t trust and asking suspicious questions about black magic that could set off some red flags--But her interest is purely academic! She swears! And lies.

where to find them:

Croydon - If in her early stages of life (5-13 ish), Ximena can be found wandering around the abbey where she grew up in, or around the streets of London. She has a reputation for being a wallflower and very meek and polite.

Mexico - At age 14, Ximena is unofficially adopted by local Vampire Dad, Salazar @deoscuridad​ and taken with the rest of his misfit family to Mexico, where her magic has never been stronger, and her search for her family has never been closer. Find her at the library, markets, docks, and museums taking in her culture.

Forests - The aforementioned inter-dimentional forest leads to every forest in the world (and in others). So if one is talking a walk or run among the woods, it’s entirely plausible to find Ximena (ages 14 and up) on your journey. She’ll be picking mushrooms, documenting flora, performing dangerous summoning seances, and taking naps.

Other Locations - Hogwarts is a plausible place to locate her (in the proper HP aus where she has British citizenship and is thus allowed to attend) from ages 12-16, as that is when she is withdrawn by her father. Bookshops of all sorts are another, as she quite enjoys traveling.

current plans:

Eat some fish

Find her family, if she has one

Learn about herself and her past

Become a fourth level mage (highest tier)

Collect information and knowledge from every possible source.

desired interactions:

Ximena asking [muse] to watch over her body as she performs some dark summoning shit, allowing a demon/spirit/etc. to possess her body

[Muse] accidentally witnesses or just straight up accidentally (or purposefully!) murders Ximena in a really stupid and/or violent way, freaks out, cleans up/hides the body or runs away. They, of course, find Ximena just fine the next day/week. [Muse] can publicly freak out or demand answers, and Ximena just “yeah man, that happens sometimes, no hard feelings, jaja” and tries to brush it off.

Ximena being in a stiff upper lip environment while at a big fancy party and trying desperately to both appear normal/well adapted and also not attract any attention–but of course she’s asked to dance or give a speech.

Her fully exploring why it is that dark magic resonates so nicely with her. is it her nature? heritage? genetics? idk, but let’s test it out by trying some old school hardcore black magicks. Preferably! With a mentor muse.

On a fluffier (or more dramatic, if you’re like me) note: Ximena teaching someone how to dance.

A Coraline AU

Any sort of AU taking place in a dystopia like The Giver or The Hunger Games.

Offered interactions:

Uhh, gestures above?

As stated in my rules, I do not ship unless I know you personally OCC because it just makes it easier to establish relationship dynamics, but that doesn’t mean nothing can naturally develop or a muse can’t develop feelings for Ximena. It just means I have trust issues with people fetishizing the color of my characters’ skin! And if I know you OOC, there’s less of a chance of that happening!!

Honestly, just kill her, it’s fine. If the thread is going that way, it’s ok. She’ll be back. Very angry or scared or frustrated, but she will be fine! Don’t be weird about it though.

She’s a good tutor in all verses, even the ones where she plays dumb! Have her help out one of your muses in any subject!

She’s a very naturally curious person who, if allowed, will plow someone with questions til exhaustion. Have her ask your muse some things to help sort something out!

On that same vein, they could be penpals! Ximena is always writing to other peoples across the globe for knowledge!

current open post/s:

Do-It-Yourself: Interview with Eric Emanon

This week I talked to the leader of the Indy Card Mafia, Eric Emanon. After finding out we have a mutual love for punk rock, I knew I had to hit this guy up! I’m not great at this intro stuff let’s dive in.

Jonah: How did pro wrestling come into your life?

Eric:  “When I was a kid, me and my papa watched it at his house when we were on vacation in the late 1990's. From then on, I was hooked. Every week I watched as much as I could with my brother and parents. Sometimes even falling asleep on the living room floor just waiting for the end of the show.”

Who were your guys when you were growing up and how did they inspire how you wrestle?

“The Hardy’s. I grew up and loved tag team wrestling, shocker there. [Laughs] Jeff Hardy was my absolute favorite with Chris Jericho and Stone Cold Steve Austin being a very close second and third. Hardy taught me no risk was too big to take. Not even if it meant flying off of a 20 foot ladder. If it was something that may put your name in the record book as a champion, take that leap of faith. Jericho, he's the guy I always wanted to be on the mic. Ruthless and unpredictable. Anytime he had a mic in his hand, you knew we were about to hear some magic. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now, he was the one who helped me into the mindset of D.T.A.. [Don't. Trust. Anyone.] He was the anti-authority figure. He showed me that you could walk in to work and one day tell your boss, "Hey, I've had enough of your shit." Flip him the bird and leave.”

You talk a lot about being a punk rock kid. What about punk rock is it that you love and is there a correlation to your wrestling life?

“I've always loved the DIY lifestyle of it. It started with the music, The Misfits, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys just to name a few. Then, when I would go to local punk shows as a kid I just felt at home with the culture and the dirty gritty feel. For the first time in my life, I felt like I had a true identity. There absolutely is a correlation between the two. What you see in the ring is what you see in real life.”

Just curious, who are some of your favorite punk bands?

“Against Me, is probably my favorite in recent years. I've seen them a bunch live and the shows are always so fucking wild. I finally got my wife to go to an Against Me show and she had her mind blown.”

Tell me about the Indy card mafia and how that started.

“Started as a joke, believe it or not. Curt Hawkins was doing the #midcardmafia. I jokingly posted back on Twitter ‘How about showing some love for the indie guys. #IndyCardMafia’ Then I met Tommy (Thomas Brewington), my best friend, road warrior, tag partner and better half. [Laughs] We found out after a few times talking that we had A LOT in common. Music, wrestling, life goals. Stuff like that. I asked him if he wanted to start something with me. Something to bring the brotherhood back into pro wrestling. He said yeah. And I mean, it's what I always wanted in this business. To be part of a brotherhood. My trainers and all the vets around always talked about how it used to be. That's what I wanted. Plus I was sick of being bullshitted by people. I wanted to surround myself with like-minded people who would push me. People who don't use ‘good job’ as a crutch. And that's what we did.”

I love that idea. New school vibe to an old school idea.  

“For sure. We don't bullshit each other. The only way we get better is by being honest with each other on how we can improve.”

What inspires you to keep doing what you love even with the struggles it may come with?  

“At first it was the love I had for the sport. When I was training in 2003, I was still a kid, you know? In 2008 when I debuted at the first indie company I worked for moving into 2009 it became about the money. That's when I got a taste of what money could be made in the business. But chasing the money made me miserable. I wanted to quit and I was only ever being put in spots to get my ass kicked until around late 2010. Move forward to 2013/2014 when I realized I could love the business, make money and be happy. Now here we are in 2018. My two kids love seeing me wrestle. My wife loves it. Me and my friends get to travel all over the place and wrestle in front of some of the coolest fans.”.

I've heard your podcast with Tommy a few weeks ago and you mentioned becoming sober. How’s that going? What benefits are you finding from being sober?

“Officially hit the 6-month mark on the 25th. It has been so hard, for real, but thankfully it is getting easier. The smell of alcohol actually repulses me now, which is shocking. But health-wise, I feel great. I lost weight, I was happier, felt less bloated, my motivation to do things got better and I felt like I had control of my life for the first time since I was 21.”

If you could give one piece of life-changing advice to someone who’s fresh in the business, what would it be?

“I'll tell you the same bit of advice that helps me to this day. Sit down with names and vets, talk, take everything in like a sponge but take everything like a grain of salt. Feedback sucks sometimes, but you have to suck to get better. And if someone is taking the time to give you advice it's because they see something in you and want to push you to that next level. Don't just dismiss them because people told you to.”

Is there anyone you want to shout out who helped you with feedback and advice throughout the years? 

“Thomas Brewington was a big factor in the past 4 years of my career. Terrell Kenneth. Cassius Cutcher. There are a lot more, but these are the three who constantly push me from a workers standpoint. There are others who will try and claim my successes as theirs, but fuck them. [Laughs]”

What are your favorite promotions you’ve worked for and who do you aspire to work for one day?

“A.W.E (Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment) in Atlanta, Georgia. Project Wrestling. I.W.F (International Wrestling Federation) in Brockport, NY. N.O.W (Northwest Ohio Wrestling) in Toledo, Ohio. The Sanctuary in Hazelton, PA. These spots have all provided me with amazing moments, matches and experiences. As for places I want to work.. I want to work everywhere.. Anywhere that would have me. Japan, Australia, Europe, the UK, Canada, I want to go everywhere and fight everyone. [Laughs]”
