[enbysiriusblack]

underrated characters headcanons? :3

sybill trelawney:

ravenclaw in marauders year

dated remus for a bit (pisces twins and very childhood sweetheart vibes but their relationship was mostly remus letting her practice tarot and palm reading on him all the time and sybill helping him revise)

was in love with pandora and emmeline but broke up due to her dream of living up to her family legacy as a seer (so broke away from society and lived in her great great grandmother's old cottage)

was always getting high behind the greenhouses

thinks the only thing that matters about her is her ability as a seer, and she lives her life thinking she failed

kingsley (changed last name to mcintosh):

gryffindor, best friends with frank and alice (dated frank)

gay gay homosexual gay

was friends with narcissa during school. they bitched about people's outfits to each other and started school gossip all the time

took peter under his wing when he saw him upset in first year about james and sirius leaving him out of a game, so he took him back to the common room and taught him how to play the guitar

flitwick's favourite student

davey gudgeon:

slytherin in regulus' year (so his and evan's roommate)

huge fan of sirius & james and their pranks and was very confused and upset when they both suddenly turned cold and mean to him after he got injured by the whomping willow

loves talking. about anything and everyone. will continuously talk forever

isn't liked by his roommates (regulus and evan) so becomes friends with the ravenclaws and hufflepuffs in the years above (ie. caradoc, amos, benjy, hestia, edgar, etc.)

has never been serious about anything ever in his life

hestia jones:

hufflepuff and on the quidditch team as a chaser

all her closest friends are guys (would be called a 'pick me girl' nowadays), but does get on okay with mary, emmeline, and florence

nicknamed 'jonesy' by pretty much everyone

straight but sometimes snogs marlene when she's drunk

very straightforward and wise, whilst also empathetic

caradoc dearborn:

also hufflepuff and chaser/captain on the quidditch team

in love with benjy fenwick, his best friend, but has no desire to ever come out and still plans on dating a girl instead

very much gives off privileged, white, rugby lad vibes

after benjy's gruesome death, he ran away and left england, moving to the other side of the world (australia), and sunk into a deep depression because of his grief (he never went back and was assumed dead)

emma vanity:

slytherin in the same year as narcissa

best friends with narcissa

quidditch captain and thinks of dorcas meadowes as her protege

remains neutral in the war for self preservation (was disappointed when narcissa married lucius, who she knew was a death eater, but still kept in touch with narcissa and met up with her for cocktails and brunch often)

Crossed Paws, Book 1: Rising

The Characters of Crossed Paws

CREEKCLAN

Territory: a small, freshwater creek and its surrounding marshlands at the edge of the river

Prey: River lamprey, European eels, barbels, bitterlings, bleaks, roaches, chubs, dace, minnow, gudgeons, rudds, tench, redfin perch, zanders, ruffes, Wel's catfish, burbots, curlews, water voles, spoon-billed sandpipers, black-tailed godwits, Madagascar pochards, mallards, citrine wagtail, snipe, moorhens, water shrews

Camp location: the remnants of an ancient twoleg cave dug into the rocks

Current High Saint and Herald: Dabblestar and Duckthorn

CreekClan traces its lineage back to the legendary Clan of Agile Swimming, a group renowned for their mastery of water and the unique environment of their marshy territory. Over time, CreekClan has evolved into a distinct and influential presence among the four Clans, standing out as the only Clan to successfully forge alliances with each of the other Clans. This rare achievement speaks volumes about CreekClan's role in the broader community, where they serve as a crucial bridge between the often competitive and territorial groups. Their ability to maintain these alliances is a testament to the diplomatic skills of their leaders and the naturally empathetic and caring disposition of CreekClan cats.

The strength of CreekClan's alliances is also supported by their strategic advantage: an abundant and consistent supply of prey. The rich waters and marshlands of their territory provide an endless bounty, enabling CreekClan to trade prey for other resources that they may lack. This trading network not only fosters goodwill and cooperation among the Clans but also ensures that CreekClan remains well-supplied and connected. Whether it is their natural inclination toward empathy or their wise use of resources, CreekClan’s unique position as the central ally among the Clans underscores their importance and influence within the forest.

yes, and i’d love to have her ! on the off chance you also wanted ideas, i think that canon wise she’d best suit lisa turpin, victoria frobisher, patricia stimpson or demelza robins, and surname wise i’d love to see her as an avery, blishwick, carmichael, dowson, fenwick, gudgeon, hornby, montague, runcorn, snyde or vulchanov ! if you’d like some wanted connection ideas, let me know !

[whoisleft-rp]

Would y’all rather see Emmeline, Gladys, or Pandora?

There are certainly pros and cons to each of those lovely options! 

Connections-wise, Emmeline would likely be the easiest for a new person to jump into the game with. She’s a seventh year, like so many of our current student characters, and involved in a wide array of extracurricular activities. She’s also a future Order member. Connections will be easy to come by, and you’ll be able to play her as a student now and a graduate in just a few months. 

Gladys has the built-in connection of her brother, Davey Gudgeon, being taken. She is younger than most of our taken students, and will still be a student for another year – so if writing a character that will still be at Hogwarts long term is what you’re looking for, she’s a great choice! She’s also a fun personality; we need a little wide-eyed innocence on the dash and she’d be a welcome addition. 

Pandora, on the other hand, is an adult – we have a great group of graduated and adult characters that would love a new addition to their mix, and Pandora’s unique personality means that she’d be able to mix in with almost any of our taken characters very easily. However, unlike Emmeline, her connections aren’t as built in. Someone strong at reaching out and making connections with fellow writers would be well-placed to pick her up. Additionally, she’s never been picked up in this group before. So you’d have an exciting opportunity to really make her your own and start with a clean slate. 

Hopefully this is helpful – we’re happy to chat more on this, if you need! –Admin Amanda

For Unknown Reasons...

My brother decided to make a mudskipper tank. I’m in the process of helping him set it up for his classroom. But since he needed to make “free shipping” on his online order, I ended up filling it with some stuff I can’t find locally.

Another peacock gudgeon (hopefully male), some flower shrimp, some wild livebearers, a school of pencil fish and a snail or two, since my otos don’t seem to like algae when they could munch on the betta and no longer reside in the planted tank. It was so tempting to get some samurai gouarmi, but since I don’t have a solution to the iffy water, I decided not wise and passed.

Not a huge invert person due to past experiences, but fingers crossed they’ll flourish in the local water better than the fish.

Hopefully once the mudskipper tank is up and running I can get some pictures. They’re the dwarf Indian mudskippers, so they should be tiny, ugly, little attitude-laden land gobies that stick to walls LOL.

Automotive Gudgeon Pin Market Study: An Emerging Hint of Opportunity by 2027

The approximately US$ 3.3 billion market for automotive gudgeon pin is poised for a moderate, just-under 5% yearly growth in the revenue, in 2022. A new study by Future Market Insights emphasizes the critical role of aftermarket in influencing the overall sales picture of automotive gudgeon landscape.

Future Market Insights (FMI) has estimated the Automotive Gudgeon Pin market to grow with year on year growth of 4.3% in 2022 reaching value of about US$ 3,149.4 Mn by 2022 end. The global industry is projected to observe a significant CAGR of 5.0% by value during the period of 2022 and 2027.

The report also sheds lights on the significance of a growing trend involving green combustion engine technologies in shaping the competitive landscape of automotive gudgeon pin marketplace.

Research spots a few prominent attributes favoring adoption of gudgeon pins in automobile -

Growing proclivity for automation

Increasing demand for high efficiency, smart engine systems

Material innovation to deliver stronger, lightweight, and corrosion resistant products

Introduction of enduring gudgeon pins with high load capacity

Automotive Gudgeon Pin Market Remains a Consolidated Landscape

The market structure analysis uncovers that the global automotive gudgeon pin landscape is fairly consolidated owing to significant presence of Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies. Accounting for more than 55% share in the global market value, Tier 1 players such as Mahle GmbH and Federal Morgul continue to augment investments in strategic acquisitions and collaborations, according to the report.

A majority of competitors operating in the global landscape of automotive gudgeon pin market are likely to focus on new product development and launches for an enhanced market position through a unique brand value. Moreover, the report points to a growing focus of a number of gudgeon pin manufacturers on extending product lifespan through diamond surface finishing.

Based on the mechanism, full floating mechanism remains highly preferred among manufacturers of automotive gudgeon pins, which has been attributed to the capability of full floating mechanism to facilitate power transmission to crankshaft from piston. The adoption of semi-floating mechanism on the other side is projected to progress at a moderate pace during upcoming years.

High-end Automakers Shifting to Titanium-based Gudgeon Pins

As indicated by the material-wise analysis of the global automotive gudgeon pin market, steel has been a prominent choice among manufacturers owing to superior efficiency to function within high temperature ranges, i.e. up to 3000 Celsius.

However, titanium is gradually emerging as a more lucrative and favored material type among key manufacturers of automotive gudgeon pins. Titanium-based gudgeon pins, projected for rapid growth in adoption especially for high performance vehicles, is earning higher popularity owing to an exceptional ability to function at temperatures as high as 15000 Celsius that is manifold compared to that of steel.

Aftermarket Reflects Noteworthy Potential in Terms of Sales

Research evaluates the impact level of growing purchasing power of consumers on the overall sale of automotive gudgeon pins. With an increasing number of consumers actively investing in high-end cars, it is more likely that the subsequently growing demand for premium vehicle maintenance and servicing would fuel the demand for aftermarket parts at a high pace. Automotive gudgeon pins are thus likely to discover lucrative adoption opportunities in both the segments, aftermarket as well as OEMs, says the report.

Over 50% of the US consumer base prefers aftermarket supplies of automotive components over expensive parts supplied by OEMs. While the US has been among the key automotive markets over the years, the aforementioned statistical figure will reportedly account for a significantly growing revenue share of aftermarket in the automotive gudgeon pin landscape.

Two-wheeler Parc Boosts Market Growth in Emerging Economies

Dramatically fostering automotive production in major developing regions including Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America is projected to boost automotive gudgeon pin sales in OEMs segment. Passenger cars currently take up an approximate share of 50% in the total market value.

The bolstering two-wheeler parc across prominent emerging economies such as China, India, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, and ASEAN countries is most likely to hold a positive impact on the sales of automotive gudgeon pins in coming years.

A promising growth outlook estimated for emission-less vehicles such as solar-powered automobiles and electric vehicles, which are currently in a nascent phase, will however hold a considerably negative influence on the current revenue growth scenario of automotive gudgeon pin market in both developed and developing regions.

three most notable crushes

Rating: 0/10 ~ Crushes aren’t too big of a deal in his eyes, he has about 20 honestly. It’s falling in love that’s the real kick in the teeth.

“Narcissa Black! My Merlin, have you seen her? That hair, those eyes. I mean, personality wise – bit of a bitch. Ah, but a thing of beauty. Then… I guess… Mary MacDonald. I mean… she’s just…. Yeah. Mary’s great. And not a bitch, which is definitely a perk. Uh… yeah, she’s… she’s up there. I guess. I mean, if I had to pick… yeah. Anyway, my biggest crush shouldn’t even need to be asked. Unless they have been living under a rock, anyone can see I’m clearly into Davey Gudgeon. Light of my life, stolen from me by some wicked Ravenclaw. Knew he had a thing for blondes though.”

[veritas-roleplay]

Do you have any sibling pairs or married couples?

We do! Sibling-wise, we have Amelia and Edgar and Charles Bones, we have Bellatrix and Andromeda and Narcissa, we have Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange, the McKinnon siblings ( Marlene, Anthea, Hercules, and Margaret ), who are all adopted siblings, Hestia and Gwenog Jones, who are step-siblings, the Prewett siblings, Arthur and Bilius Weasley, Cressida Slughorn and Evander Abbott, Georgiana and Galen Ollivander, Mahira and Pranav Shafiq, the Carrow twins, Ludo and Otto Bagman, Damocles and Cicero Belby, Sarah Bones and Dirk Cresswell, and then Davey and Galvin and Gladys Gudgeon. Married couples would be Edgar and Sarah Bones, Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange, Molly and Arthur Weasley, Andromeda and Ted Tonks, and Amos and Ella Diggory! I think that’s all of them...

[petrificushq]

where could you see hunter schafer and olivia cooke working?

Well firstly, we always love to see our wanted connections taken and I could see Hunter working quite well as Demelza Trelawney. Canon-wise, Hunter would also be a good fit for Emma Vanity and the eventual Pandora Lovegood. I could see Olivia being a great fit as an Abbott, Doris Purkiss, or as Gladys Gudgeon. Both ladies could also make an excellent Mafalda Hopkirk too!
