random thought

since I have four mc's/oc's I figured that if they were all in the same production of six as alternates/swings, what would be their cover orders.

Also if you notice some backgrounds are not the color they should be, no you didn't.

The maker was made by LightLeckrerekins

If they were in a us production

Brooklyn: Boleyn/Cleves/Parr

Claire: Aragon/Seymour/Parr

Adelaide: Boleyn/Cleves/Howard

Charlie: Aragon/Seymour/Howard

If they were in a uk production:

Brooklyn: Aragon/Cleves with Teal Alt Costume

Claire: Seymour/Parr with Pink Alt Costume

Adelaide: Boleyn/Howard with Orange Alt Costume

Charlie: Super Swing with Silver Costume

A lord has gave me purpose

And with him I have got the only thing

Maria e Francesco

Accostati, amore mio, vieni a me...

Respira sul mio volto, sui miei occhi, sulle mie labbra...

È forse trascorso un secolo o un minuto soltanto?

Non so... Ma so che fino ad ora

ho vagato in questo mondo come un fantasma,

solo, disperato senza te

mia unica ragione di vita...

Come ho potuto continuare a esistere?

Adesso che sei qui, amore mio adorato, mio tesoro, mio tutto

Riesco forse a crederlo?

Prendimi fra le tue braccia affinché io possa bere ogni respiro dalla tua bocca

e assaporare il tempo che ancora ci resta...

3 for Jackmon?<3

"No, I'm not being overdramatic!"

referencing Montelimar Bloom @cursebreakerfarrier, Adelia Selwyn @thatravenpuffwitch, and Io Gordon @drinkyoursoupbitch

At the turn of the century, there was no bigger drama queen -- or, perhaps in this case, drama monarch -- attending Hogwarts school than Slytherin house's own troublemaking charmer and dynamic Quidditch commentator, Jackson Knightly. Unlike his dormmates Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt, Jackson had always been prone to being very flamboyant in expressing his feelings -- he would compliment people he liked profusely, he would sass the hell out of anyone who insulted him with a broad grin, and he would give flowers to just about any girl he met that looked like they needed some cheering up. It was quite frankly unsurprising that most of Jackson's closest companions ended up being those who could successfully rein him in -- most notably, his first and closest friend in the world, Adelia Selwyn; his aforementioned and much more level-headed dormmate Ominis Gaunt; and the brilliant Ravenclaw who would eventually become Jackson's husband, Montelimar "Monty" Bloom.

If one thought Jackson was prone to drama in his younger years, it was nothing compared to when he was in denial about the extent of his feelings for Monty. At one point the sixth-year Slytherin was so upset that Ominis had to recruit his crush Gryffindor Beater Io Gordon to fly up on her broom so she could help him retrieve an incredibly drunk adder from a high branch on the tree next to the Black Lake. (An incredibly drunk illegal adder Animagus, for the record.)

"Merlin's beard," Ominis swore at Jackson in Parseltongue as he carried the adder back to school on his shoulder, "how did you even navigate your way up there in the first place? You look like you can hardly see straight, let alone slither anywhere!"

"Aw, don't be sssssilly, Gaunt, old boy," Jackson hissed cheerfully, giving something of a cheerful hiccup through his fangs. "I t'wasn't doing nothing -- just ccccelebrating with some firewhiskey for Bloom, thass'all...making a wedding toast or two for 'im..."

Ominis wanted to facepalm. "Wedding? For goodness' sake, Knightly -- "

"They make a lovely couple, don't they?" Jackson hissed more loudly than ever, his voice more of a dementedly happy shriek now. "Bloom and Miss Oakessss -- ssssuch a lovely pair -- more than sssssuitable for proper wizarding sssssociety, ssssuch a pretty, bright couple -- "

"Knightly, they were assigned partners for a Charms project, not bloody betrothed," Ominis said exasperatedly. "Stop being so overdramatic."

"I am NOT being overdramatic!" Jackson snapped abruptly out of nowhere.

The adder then flopped down almost comically on Ominis's shoulder, his angry retort flipping over into a way-too-loud miserable moan on a dime.

"'M sssssorry, Gaunt -- hic -- I didn't mean to yell at you...it'ssss just not FAIR...we alwaysssss got to pick partnerssss in Charms, and I don't wanna be with Clopton, he's an abssssolute flapdoodle -- I wanna be with Bloom, I wanted to work with Bloom -- he's my Frenchman, my brilliant Ffffrenchman..."

The snake Animagus trailed off into more hissing, incoherent mumbles under his breath. Ominis brought a hand up to his face, massaging his temple with his fingers.

"You are hopeless," he muttered sourly. With a sigh, he said, "Come on -- I'm taking you to the Prefect's Bathroom and getting you cleaned up."

Maybe dunking his stupid head under some cold water a couple dozen times would help sober this idiot up.

Jealousy Prompts!

Sorry this is the same anon from before LOL i wanted to clarify something!! When i said incentivize tanking i meant it encourages players to show up to smaller tournaments that they don’t actually intend to put full effort into. Because like you said, the majority of 500s are right around slams/masters! So why would an Iga or Aryna want to go all out in those tournaments knowing that if they’re tired or hurt for the big ones they’re leaving points on the table. It’s just hard on the players all around

Sure, but I mean now we're just back to the scheduling issue which the one thing I think everyone can all agree on (season too long! why 6 mandatory 500s??). But still, I don't necessarily think there's clear incentive to tank 500s for the sake of satisfying the mandatory 6. I just don't think there's any motivation to tank tournaments that are going to count towards your point total anyway, and even if there is, then that's the player's loss (that is, if you're taking the effort to show up, you might as well play). From what we can see, it seems more common for players to just skip 500s entirely if they don't want to play, and accept mandatory zeros.

Of the current top 10 players, only Emma, Dasha, and Bia have actually played 6 or more 500s. I'm pretty sure more of them reached 6 through other means (e.g. Qinwen is allowed to count Ningbo because she did promotional events there, Jess and Elena both have multiple extended periods of inactivity due to injury which might add to their tally). But my point is, I don't think the WTA making it mandatory to play 6 500s even makes much of a difference, because clearly the players are willing to drop points and take mandatory zeros for the sake of scheduling. Which again, circles back to the rather annoying conclusion of "well...those are the rules I guess" when it comes to Iga losing #1.

But the truth is I really don't think any of these players want to tank. Even just going to a 500 event and losing in R1 expends a lot of time and energy. Plus, a lot of these players get first round byes, so they're usually having to stay until mid-week anyway. At that point, I think most of them would rather just skip, take the zero, and prepare for the next tournament. And even if they do go to 500s and tank...then I think that's kind of their problem? Because ultimately they're the one losing out on points. So it could be a strategy employed by some, but it really seems that most of these players prefer skipping to tanking.
