Wanted to experiment with the idea of a Synchronized Swimming Team for Magical School Girls; and while originally I was just going to scrap the designs after the first batch of sketches, I'm actually really happy I stuck with it.

The team itself has been around since the inception of the series, but this is the first time I've really ironed out a magical girl uniform for them. So with that; meet Harlene! she'll have a vital role in character development, someone's backstory, and worldbuilding.

I got a (late) Christmas gift of two pounds of saltwater taffy today! :D

I tried the honey lavender, huckleberry, and strawberry cheesecake so far. They're all pretty good!

(the company I got it from is Taffy Town btw! They have a few options for a custom mix box or bag.)

28. surprising them with their favourite treat

Let's do it! I am an ancient New England grandma when it comes to my taste in candy, so I'm pretending Maura is, too. Here we are:

___

Jane steps out of her unmarked and into the blistering heat of the Market Basket parking lot over off of School Street, her car one of a few dozen here on a Thursday afternoon. She slams the driver’s side door, too, just for good measure. She pops her gum, chewing with her lips closed like she’s got an attitude, because she fucking does.

She’s also got an interview over by BHCC in Charlestown, and that’s why she picked this Market Basket, even though the whole reason she’s here is fucking Hope Martin. Maura’s unhinged biological mother is back in town, and had intercepted Jane this morning in front of her apartment building because Maura isn’t returning her calls. Jane had shut her down as politely as possible, all while wanting to call her a fuckin’ kidney-robbin’ cunt, but she’d held strong.

Not that she didn’t call her a fuckin’ kidney-robbin’ cunt the whole way here. Jane flips her aviators up onto the top of her head when she marches through the automatic doors, and prepares to stomp through her entire trip, but something about the air conditioning and the familiar smell of sheet cake calms her. Well, calms her just enough to pull the bat outta hell back in, at least for the sake of the other shoppers around her. And she thinks about making a left for the bakery and getting Maura a whole-ass cake, but she doesn’t want to get distracted, either. 

Hope is in town, which means Maura’s a mess, which means impromptu movie night. Most of the time, Maura likes to pull out the mixed nuts, the dried fruit, and the organic, stove-popped popcorn for their movies, but today calls for the big guns.

Maura would never admit it, but when she’s really down, processed sugar is the only thing that’ll do. That’s why Jane’s here, unbeknownst to Maura, and not at the Whole Foods down the street. She weaves through a couple old ladies and a mom with her two kids under two, swooping up a hand basket on her way, and scans the store layout for the penny candy endcap. 

Right there, on aisle two next to the prepackaged meats like hot dogs and bacon, sits the penny candy in all its glory. Late one night, after Constance’s first visit, Jane had dragged Maura to the store closest to her North End neighborhood and showed her exactly how to scoop all that old school goodness into a plastic bag for maximum satisfaction. Even now, Jane smiles to herself, big and pleased, because she’s got eyes on Maura’s favorites: the licorice bits, the butterscotch, and the bit-o-honeys. And Maura would never, ever, ask for this stuff, because doing so would defile her good girl, all-organic image, but Jane knows what Maura needs.

And tonight, Maura needs candy. Good, old-fashioned, bulk candy. 

So, she gets to scooping: a bag of each, because Maura doesn’t like them to touch, and then a couple bags of peppermint patties and jelly citrus slices for herself. Don’t ask her why, but the taste extremes make her all giddy inside. Sometimes she thinks about eating them together, though she hasn’t had the guts yet. With expertise and finesse and promise to try that another time, she ties them up and tosses them in her hand basket. 

She moves over to the checkout line, checks her watch because that interview’s in about twenty minutes, and taps the toe of her boot on the linoleum. There’s just two people ahead of her, not a problem. 

She chews her gum, cursing Hope again while she waits, but at least this time, she and Maura will have sweets to deal with the tornado. Maybe Maura’ll even consent to an action flick, or a comedy. Hell, Jane’ll settle for a rom-com if it means banishing Hope from their minds. 

Fuckin’ kidney-robbin’ cunt.

This is just a random question but do any of your OCS have birthdays? Have a wonderful day either way!

Thank you for the question, Anon! It's really fun, especially because I've never really thought about it?? But this is a neat exorcise so let's go with it!

In Magical School Girls, Bea is a Virgo born on September 20th. Cheerie is a February 12th Aquarius, and Eartha is a October 29th Scorpio.

Taffy and Lemon are also Scorpios, and were born November 10th and November 16th. Gummi is a Virgo like Bea and was born August 23rd. Berry is a April 27th Taurus.

As for The Punkin Sitter- The Sitter himself doesn't have a birthday, so Ben likes to pick a random day throughout the year and celebrate with him and the babies (mostly as an excuse to turn in paperwork late). Ben's a September 30th Libra.

Vinyl was born on March 2nd and is a Pisces! She's actually really bad at keeping up with her own birthday, though. Walkman was born on June 30th and is a Cancer, but he doesn't know that. Vinyl decided to give him a new birthday when they both officially became friends on December 5th (making him an honorary Sagittarius).

for the "inbox me 1 thing you wanna know": what is your favorite sweet/snack? :D

I do love jaffa cakes. Grian is not kidding when he says they are very addictive. I also really like oreos, especially any of the specialty flavours. But something I eat on a more regular basis as a snack would probably be some kind of fruit. Me and Morgan really like to get whatever fruit is in season at the time and snack on that throughout the week.

ask game!
