Wilma Scarlet ⚔️

Parent: Will Scarlet

Parent’s Story: Adventure’s of Robin Hood and his Merry Men

Powerful Qualities: Strong, Adventurous, Flexible

Roommate: Ada Vogel

Secret Heart’s Desire: Because everyone thinks girls are damsels in distress, that means I’m one too. Jeez, it’s like I haven't been training to fight since before I could walk or something.

My “Magic” Touch: Like my dad, I’m a master swordsman. I can also ride horseback and I can survive in the woods for days.

Storybook Romance Status: It would have to be someone who is on the same wavelength as me. Someone who won’t hold me back just because I’m a girl you know?

“Oh Curses!” Moment: I tend to get lost in my training. I’ve also injured myself so many times, my mom is worried I’m going to cut something off in the future.

Favorite Subject: Heroics 101. It took a lot for me to prove that I belong in that class, and it takes a lot to stay in it. So I’m not giving up now.

Least Favorite Subject: Damsel in Distressing Class. It’s part of the deal I made with Headmaster Grimm. I can take Heroics if I take Damsel in Distress. I hate acting weak just to gain some boys' attention. It’s the worst.

Best Friends Forever After: Since our dads are all Merry Men, we’ve all grown up together. I’ve known all of them since we were kids, including Sparrow Hood and Alanna Dale. Darling Charming too. We sometimes practice together.

Milfs Models Candidates

Okay, so after many suggestions and research I've found some more possible Milf Candidates for me to make in the future. I would say don't judge me... But I think that'd be a lost cause.

Milf 01. Tsuki Uzaki

Y'know it's funny, I actually hate Hana, like she is kinda insufferable to me, I feel bad for Shinichi... Her mother, and sister (And Maybe Brother?) on the other hand... Yeah Tsuki is a top Class Milf.

Milf 02. Mitsuki Bakugo

I love her look, her attitude, just a perfect Milf, I shouldn't have to say more...

Milf 03. Nana Shimura

Muscle Momm-'Cough, Cough' Sorry, anyways, I like Nana, in the same way I like Endeavor, that is to say I like how their flawed individuals. But her flaw is the same as Summer's, she cares too much about doing good to the point where she hurt those close to her... Honestly someone should've slapped some sense into her when she decided to abandon her son. Like I get it, she just lost her husband the big bad would've targeted him... BUT C'MON!!! WHY WOULD YOU THINK OFA WASN'T ALREADY TARGETING YOU!!! Like she gets some leeway because obviously after just losing her husband she couldn't have been in the right state of mind but someone should've realized that possibility.

Milf 04. Lusamine

I hesitated with her mainly because I'd have to use the Hair accessories for her, and wouldn't be able to make other hair styles convincingly. But Yeah I'll probably be making her soon, cuz damn man, she's up there with Cynthia.

Milf 05. Susan Luong-Long

I, and I'm sure a good number of guys (And Girls) who blame this character for our fascination with Asian mommies...

Milf 06. Delia Ketchum

Honestly lowkey one of the best Pokémon Milfs.

Milf 07. Pokémon Black & White's Mom

Yeah, Pokémon knows exactly what it's doing by making Milfs like this...

Milf 08. Johanna (Dawn's Mom)

I Love Her Design, it's rather simple but utterly perfect!

Milf 09. Grace (Pokémon X & Y's Mom)

A sporty, country, mom who looks like she's ready to ride a bull, they really didn't use her near enough.

Milf 10. Prof. Sada

She makes me return to monke... those abs make, that tan, her wild look. Just, y'know a lot of people bought Scarlet for her alone...

Milf 11. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Mom

Penny was right, their mom is hot... I prefer the model with paler skin and deep brown hair myself.

Milf 12. Pokémon Sword & Shield's Mom

Not gonna lie, never played sword or shield, but I gotta say, she is a pretty mom. I like the glasses look with the overalls, gives her a fun vibe. I feel like there'll be a shock factor if I put her in other outfits too, so that'll be fun to see.

Milf 13. Pokémon Black & White 2's Mom

Mostly I wanna make her cuz there is a absolute lack of content of her and I'm kinda digging the idea of making her look utterly different with her hair down.

Milf 14. Lila Test

Y'know, I already wanna make Susan & Mary Test for Dexter when I get to him, so why not the mom too.

Milf 15. Charlotte Pickles

These three images convinced me, at first I couldn't see it, but thank you Anon, I've been shown the light. I like Milf in suits apparently... I learned something new about myself.

Milf 16. Jane Jetson

Ahh, Boomerang, how I miss you, this is just a Atlas Mom to me, and I feel like this further proves my childhood interest in redheads...

Milf 17. Wilma Flintstone

Y'know, I would complain that I can't find a decent pic of Wilma without Betty in it... Wait, No I Wouldn't! She next anyways. Well, this only serves to prove the whole Redheads thing lil' me had going on. I'mma say there from a Secluded Vacuian tribe, fucking savages... Hot, hot savage Milf.

Milf 18. Betty Rubble

Cavewoman are justice, and need to reenter the genepool of Remnant.

Milf 19. Carol from OK K.O.

Okay, so recently someone's ask me to make characters from OK K.O. Let's Be Heroes. Specifically Fink & Wilhamena, and to that all I have to say is... HOW DARE YOU NOT MENTION CAROL!!! Dude! Tanned Muscle Mommy! Seriously, she looks like she could be a badass. Not sure how faithful to the design I can be, or well want to be but I definitely like this character.

Milf 20. Wilhamena from OK K.O.

I mean, I get why so many people brought her up, I am looking forward to making this design, seems like it'd be fun. Still kinow nothing about the show though...

Okay, Last four... Gonna get a bit weird, feel free to judge me -_-

Milf 21. Nicole Watterson

I'd probably use the middle design as her actual model in Remnant making her a Faunus. Her Semblance would be '2D' Which references her cartoon origin but also can me Two Ds/ Doppelgangers, but well neither actually look like her but she can share her senses with them or have them act independently.

Milf 22. Lin (Millie's Mom)

Not gonna lie, I wanna make her half to have her get hate fucked (At Least at first), not the most honorable of intentions but FUCK HER!!! I get she's Millie's Mom, and a seemingly good one, but she hates Moxxie Way Too Much! How Can You Hate Moxxie! He's Adorable and a utterly devoted Husband! What, Just Cuz He's Not Country Strong, Fuck Off, No, Fuck Her! Fuck All The Bitch Outta This Milf With a Big Human Cock!

Milf 23. Toriel from Undertale

She is Literally the Goat HAHAHA!!! Okay but seriously I kinda have to make her. There is just WAY too much content for me to have ignored her. I typed in Game Milfs and this Goat showed up more then the Pokémon Moms.

Milf 24. Mrs. Kattswell

... God Dammit, I'm a fucking furry...

rules: share the last line you wrote in your wip

thanks for tagging me @morgayz this gives me a chance to share the first sneak peek of my wip and introduce the kind of things that our main character, wilma, gets up to in her spare time 🐦🩸enjoy!

She thumbed at the faint flutter in its orange belly, a feeble heartbeat, fooled by the tremble of her own hands—until it began to leak—slippery wet beads of scarlet, fresh enough to draw steam into the frosted air.

[myemuisemo]

It's time to learn from Letters from Watson "What John Rance Had to Tell."

But first, Holmes explains some of his deductions. He does not explain what the long fingernails on the right hand mean.

And he comes out with what is for me, as a modern reader, a doozy:

The A [in RACHE], if you noticed, was printed somewhat after the German fashion. Now, a real German invariably prints in the Latin character, so that we may safely say that this was not written by one, but by a clumsy imitator who overdid his part. It was simply a ruse to divert inquiry into a wrong channel.

What? A German fashion of writing?

OKAY. It turns out that, prior to World War II, German was written in different scripts than other European languages, which the University of Wisconsin has documented for us because German immigrants continued to use them.

Here are a snipper of UW's examples of Kurrent and Sütterlin, as well as capital letters from Wikimedia's Fraktur.

The Fraktur A looks so much like a U that I can't believe Lestrade wouldn't have read the word as "ruche" and decided the victim was a dressmaker.

Calligrascapes gives examples of Spencerian (U.S.) and Copperplate (UK) handwriting of the late Victorian period here. Lower-case A looks almost the same as in Kurrent. I feel like our wall-scrawler must have used Sütterlin.

That our killer is familiar with a German A implies he either reads German comfortably or corresponds regularly with people of German ancestry. Since Holmes says "a real German" would use Latin letters (so he corresponds with Germans or visits Germany), killer is presumably familiar with a German-American community, which is certainly plausible if he's from Ohio (or Pennsylvania, or much of the Upper Midwest).

Whew.

Holmes' passing mention of going "to Halle's concert to see Norman Neruda" is about seeing Czech violinist Wilma Norman-Neruda perform at an occasion organized by Anglo-German pianist and conductor Sir Charles Hallé (also Norman-Neruda's future second husband).

Finally, we arrive at the home of Constable Rance. Last episode, it was given as Audley Court, Kennington Toll Gate. The latter part is a real place, the site of a toll gate that was demolished about 15 years before the time of the story. Here's an old photo shared by The Underground Map.

Today the site of the toll gate is a plaza with public art.

The "long succession of dingy streets and dreary by-ways" suggests the cab ride was to somewhere near the old toll gate site (possibly just west of St. Mark's Church, which is the tower in the background), rather than directly to the triangle of land where it sat. There's not a lot of space right there, due to Kennington Park, which has a long history as a public common and site of hangings.

I suspect any police constable trying to live in London today would sympathize with Rance's living in a "sordid dwelling." Rance also takes bribes.

Rance is, of course, astonished by Holmes' powers of deduction. But what was the "drunk" man singing? I was sure in my heart that "Columbine" was "Columbia" (an old-fangled term for the United States) and searching for that made it possible to cheat when I Heard of Sherlock's discussion of this matter came up in my search results. It's "Columbia, Gem of the Ocean." Here's an audio file.

“Had he a whip in his hand?”

Where on earth did a whip come from? We've no such wounds on the victim, and the killer came with him in a cab.

I might not have gone but for you, and so have missed the finest study I ever came across: a study in scarlet, eh? Why shouldn’t we use a little art jargon. There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.

And... title drop! If this is the fates weaving the tapestry of life, surely it says something about Holmes that all the other threads are colorless besides murder.

A Study in Scarlet: What John Rance Had to Tell

Socialism had become a significant political force by 1881. Karl Marx had moved to London in 1849 and would live there for the rest of his life, dying in 1883. He is buried at Highgate Cemetry.

A half sovereign is a gold coin denominated at half a pound. It was a currency coin until 1926. From 1980, they began being made as collectors' items by the Royal Mint, costing far more than face value due to the gold content. Versions for 2023 and 2024, featuring the profile of King Charles III, are available for purchase from there.

Rance is engaging in the old-style "beat policing" - patrolling a designated area where he would become familiar with the locals, check for any signs of break-ins or other suspicious activity and be able to summon assistance with his whistle if needed.

The bacillus that causes typhoid was just starting to be isolated at this point - improved sanitation and vaccination in the West would largely, but not totally eliminate it there.

Wilma Norman-Neruda was a virtuoso Czech cellist who had moved to London following her separation from her first husband Ludwing Norman (not believing in divorce, the marriage lasted until his death in 1885). Her second husband Charles Hallé would be knighted in 1888 and she would end up as Violinist to the Queen in 1901, the Queen in this case being Queen Alexandra, wife of Edward VII.

GOI File - Children of the DeepWoods

((visible to muses n anons)) [also if I you don't want Siegel's visit documented i can remove it @toacho)

Title: Children of the Deep Woods

First known active date: 1█/██/1899

Known aliases in the mundane world: N/A

Key Individuals:

Fenrir Lycan - Figure of worship, Leader

Father Proctor - Pastor, leader

Jawbone - Seer

Sable Proctor - Keeper of Ruins

Dallas Richter - Festival Director

Skull - Heavylifter guardian

Phalanges - not an individual, but they represent the littles of the GOI

Created SCPs?: Wolf Skull Piece, DeepWoods Wine, Wolf Statutte (Destroyed)

Known Relationship with other Groups of Interest:

Church of the High Moon (Former Enemies, allies now merged.)

Anti-Werewolf League (Enemies)

Foundation (Partial Allies)

Chaos Insurgency (Enemies)

Snapdragon Smugglers (Partial Allies)

Ambrose Restaurants (Allies)

Dr. Wondertainment Inc. (Allies)

Troupe of Shadows (Enemies)

Mana Charitable Foundation (Allies)

Flora Fighters (Enemies)

Description: The Children of the Deep Woods are an anomalous group of lycanthropes (werewolves) that live in a forest in North America, with a similar forest also appearing in the wilderness of Russia. While the group came to the Foundation's attention a little over a century ago, the group has operated since before clear records of time.

The group of interest is a religious one, worshipping a nature deity by the name of Fenrir Lycan, otherwise known as [REDACTED BY O5 COUNCIL]. On ██/██/20██ He appeared to put aside the differences of the Deep Woods and the Church of the High Moon, revealing that they were both worshipping him, albeit different aspects of him

Retrieval of flora and fauna from the Deep Woods for Foundation research is next to impossible, as the locals believe that all the plants and animals from the Deep Woods are created by their deity, and that its removal from the forest would be a major affront.

The Deep Woods began with the fall of their deity's pantheon at the hands of the Scarlet King, being some of the sole survivors from the massacre. They would form the Deep Woods to keep their deity alive through faith, and eventually spilled out, leading to rogue werewolves around the world, which eventually landed them on the Foundation's radar.

Known Incidents:

??? - The Scarlet King appears and massacres a pantheon. The surviving followers of the nature deity Fenrir Lycan flee to the woods where they make their home

6/13/1789 - The feud between the Deep Woods and the Church of the High Moon begins in Europe

11/13/1880 - The feud transcends to the Americas.

6/██/194█ - Foundation discovers the Deep Woods. Ends with three agents going missing. The body of one is recovered, having been made as a scarecrow.

2/1/1958 - Leopold Kensington of the AWL is murdered by a werewolf. The werewolf becomes the first Spine Sentinel for defending the fauna of the DeepWoods.

5/14/1975 - The AWL murder a young girl of the Deep Woods. Fenrir Lycan appears. He turns the girl into a constellation

6/25/1988 - Fenrir Lycan appears, settling the feud.

4/██/198█ - Foundation meddles in politics to prevent the Deep Woods from being destroyed, instead getting it instated as a national park. The AWL attempts to mail bomb members of the Foundation publicly involved. Environmental Scientist Frida Jenkins is killed by one.

8/12/2000 - AWL member Wilma Rettenbocker is transformed, making her the first person to betray the AWL. A few days later, Jawbone is born.

5/15/2018 - Jawbone succeeds in his first vision without splitting into four individuals. It details a newfound pantheon.

█/██/202█ - Member of the Foundingverse, Aaron Siegel visits to experience his newly gained lycanthropy in a peaceful environment. A festival is held the same day. Siegel joins in the hunt as Duck leaves the next day with some wine and a pet bunny, Persimmon.

█/█/202█ - the AWL lead an attack on the Deep Woods. This fails, leading to the hunting party either dying or rapidly transforming into werewolves due to the special moon. The leader of the hunting group is lured into a church and eaten.

5/31/2022 - The AWL creates a camping spot, with the hopes of luring werewolves out to murder, using innocent humans as live bait.

Wilma Rudolph Biography, Wiki, Age, Height, Weight, Family, Net Worth

Wilma Rudolph Biography: Rudolph, a premature baby, was born on June 23, 1940, to Blanche Rudolph in Saint Bethlehem, Tennessee, weighing just 4.5 pounds (2.0 kg) at birth. She was one of 22 children from her father's two marriages. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, where she attended elementary and high school. Her father worked as a railway porter and did odd jobs, while her mother worked as a maid in Clarksville homes. Unfortunately, Ed, her father, passed away in 1961, and her mother died in 1994. Wilma Rudolph Biography. In her early years, Rudolph faced several health challenges, including pneumonia, scarlet fever, and polio, which she contracted when she was five. Although she recovered from polio, it left her with weakness in her left leg and foot. For much of her early life, she wore a leg brace and an orthopaedic shoe for support, but after receiving treatment at Meharry Medical College, she learned to walk without them by the age of twelve. Wilma Rudolph Biography Honours and Awards for Wilma Rudolph: Wilma Rudolph Biography Rudolph initially received homeschooling due to her frequent illnesses but later attended Cobb Elementary School in Clarksville when she was seven. In high school, she excelled in basketball and track. Still, during her senior year, she became pregnant with her first child, Yolanda, born in 1958, just before her enrollment at Tennessee State University in Nashville. She continued to compete in track in college and graduated with a bachelor's degree in education in 1963, paid for by a work-study scholarship program that required her to work on the TSU campus for two hours a day. Rudolph also became a Delta Sigma Theta sorority member during her college years.

Worthy Brief - September 30, 2024

Believe it or not!

Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

True story! In 1940, a large and wonderful Christian family, the Rudolph's, announced the birth of their 20th baby! Though the baby was not expected to live, having been born prematurely and with polio, she defied all odds. She did live, but by the time she was four she had suffered polio, pneumonia and scarlet fever. This little girl was badly crippled with hardly any use of her left leg. While her brothers and sisters enjoyed running and playing outside, she was left confined to braces.

"Will I ever be able to run and play like the other children?" she asked her parents. "Honey, you only have to believe," they responded. "If you believe, God will make it happen." And she did! Now and again, she would practice walking without her braces with the aid of her siblings. On her twelfth birthday, she surprised her parents and doctors by removing her braces and walking around the doctor's office unassisted. She never wore braces again.

Her next goal was to play basketball. The coach only agreed to let her play as a means of getting her older sister on the team. She was given an outdated uniform, but she was allowed to work out with the other players. One day she approached the coach and promised him if he would give her an extra ten minutes of coaching each day, she would give him a world class athlete. He laughed, but seeing she was serious, half-heartedly agreed. Before long her determination paid off. She became one of the team's best players.

Her team went to the state basketball championships. One of the referees noticed her exceptional ability. He asked if she had ever run track. She hadn't. He encouraged her to try it. So after the basketball season she went out for track. She began winning races and earned a berth in the state championships.

At the age of 16, she was one of the best young runners in the country. She went to the Olympics in Australia and won a bronze medal for anchoring the 400-meter relay team. Four years later in Rome she won the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash and anchored the winning 400-meter relay team -- all in world-record times. She received the prestigious Sullivan Award as the most outstanding amateur athlete in America.

This is the amazing story of Wilma Rudolph, an Olympic gold medalist, who believed the promises of God.

We must never allow our circumstances to dictate what we can accomplish or who we can become! Let's believe the promises of God for our lives and be encouraged to move forward for him! All things are possible to them that believe!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George, Baht Rivka, Obadiah and Elianna (Baltimore, Maryland)

WILMA RUDOLPH // OLYMPIC RUNNER

“She was an American sprinter who overcame childhood polio and went on to become a world-record-holding Olympic champion and international sports icon in track and field following her successes in the 1956 and 1960 Olympic Games. She was the 20th of 22 kids and was born prematurely at 4.5 lbs. She suffered infantile paralysis and scarlet fever. She wore a brace for a twisted leg. Rudolph was acclaimed the fastest woman in the world in the 1960s and became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field during a single Olympic Games.”

[anastasiabeiste]

Oh my gosh, I love both of those ideas! Wilma Flintstone would be so fun, and Kim Possible is such a throwback! But Miss Scarlet? Total icon. I can see why you're torn—each of those would be amazing. If you go the Clue route with your brothers, that could be such a cool group costume. It’s so hard to choose, though, isn’t it? Maybe we should just start a whole trend of changing costumes throughout the day—one for morning circle time, another for snack time, and a big reveal by nap time! That would solve our indecision for sure!

It's the best, and I like to think having to keep up with those leaps of logic keeps us young too -- at heart and in spirit, even if not in body.

Oooooh, I like this idea, and not just because I'm indecisive. Dorothy's a total classic too, especially because you're bound to come across any number of witches that you can have some fun with, ha.
