Blume/Smith/Bär 9

Kennt ihr das Apfelblütental noch? Zwar ist der letzte Teil "nur" 8 Monate her, aber diesen Haushalt hab ich zuletzt vor drei Jahren vorgestellt. Neben einem stressigen Alltag habe ich tatsächlich auch ein wenig das Interesse an dieser Nachbarschaft verloren. Ich hab noch viele Bilder übrig (bin spielerisch am Ende von Teil 9) und hab die letzten Wochen auch immer wieder gespielt.

Genug langweilige Worte. Viel Spaß mit dem Apfelblütental

Der Sommer bringt Veränderungen ins Apfelblütental. Eine davon der Umzug von Larissa und ihren drei Kindern in das kleine gründe Häuschen zu Andrew und Anton. Arthur kann es nicht fassen, dass er jetzt endlich bei seinem Vater wohnt.

Die Zwillinge freuen sich über den Umzug, besonders weil der Spielplatz direkt gegenüber ist. Dennoch vermissen sie ihr altes großes Haus. Luna findet es so eng wie in einer Gefängniszelle. Und Ilias vermisst "seine Tante" Selma sehr. Zum Glück ist das Apfelblütental klein und überschaubar und alle haben weiterhin engen Kontakt.

Albert freut sich für seine besten Freunde, dass sie unter einem Dach leben. Schon länger wünscht er sich eine Jungs-WG, so wie es seine Halbschwester Eileen mit ihren Freundinnen hat. Das Erwachsenenleben rückt näher und kann es kaum erwarten.

Auch Anton träumt von der Zukunft, aber die Träume der beiden könnten kaum unterschiedlicher sein. Er möchte eine kleine Familie und ist schon jetzt ganz wild auf seine Rolle als "Onkel Anton". Auch wenn seine Beziehung zu Yasmin aktuell ruht, pflegt er eine enge Freundschaft zu ihr und Yvonne.

Ilias ist von solchen Zukunftsplänen weit entfernt. Und Mädchen findet er aktuell sowieso doof, ganz besonders Nina. Da sie die beste Freundin seiner Zwillingsschwester ist, kommt sie fast täglich zu Besuch.

Oft schaut auch Ninas Vater Hannes vorbei. Zwar ist der Kontakt zwischen Ninas Mutter und ihm unterkühlt, er versteht sich aber prächtig mit seiner Tochter. Und er hat im deutlich älteren Andrew inzwischen einen guten Freund gefunden.

Gwendolin wacht als Geist über die Familie. War sie zuerst tief getroffen, dass Andrew und Larissas Liebe so schnell wieder aufflammte, so sieht sie jetzt wie glücklich alle sind.

Doch trotz der vielen glücklichen Momente ist der Alltag oft sehr hart. Die finanziellen Probleme durch Gwendolins ambitionierte Ziele bestehen noch immer und haben sich mit der sechsköpfigen Familie nur verschärft. Dazu gibt es nur ein Kinderzimmer und zu wenig Betten. Die Teenager teilen sich das Sofa im Wechsel und Vater Andrew genießt die lauen Sommernächte auf dem Liegestuhl. Alle sind erschöpft.

Die Situation spitzt sich zu, als das Sofa gepfändet wird. Larissa verbringt so viel Zeit wie möglich in der Bäckerei, aber ihr Gehalt entspricht nur einem Bruchteil der Ausgaben. An Rente ist für Andrew nicht zu denken. Besonders da aktuell weitere städtische Gebäude in Planung sind.

Jede Geldquelle wird genutzt. Darunter auch ein prächtiger Geldbaum im Garten, den Yvonne organisiert hat. Die Familie rückt in den harten Zeiten nur noch näher zusammen.

Besonders in der Liebe zwischen Andrew und Larissa zeigt sich dies und so ist sich Andrew inzwischen sicher: Larissa ist die Liebe seines Lebens. Das letzte Ersparte wird für einen Ehering mit funkelndem Kunststein ausgegeben. Natürlich hat Larissa ja gesagt!

Steht Anton der Sache noch etwas skeptisch gegenüber, so ist Arthur komplett aus dem Häuschen: seine Eltern wollen heiraten! Schon seit längerem ist ein kleines Gotteshaus mit Friedhof für die verstorbenen geplant. Doch auch schöne Momente wie eine Hochzeit könnten dort stattfinden. Die ganze Familie sucht nach alternativen Geldquellen und findet diese im edelsteinhaltigen Boden des Apfelblütentals.

Das meiste Geld verdanken sie aber Andrews Gehalt. Die Stadt steckt in den letzten Phasen des Schulbaus. Ihm wird zwar ganz anders, wenn er an die Kosten denkt, aber für die Zukunft der Kinder wäre dies ein wahrer Gewinn.

Larissa ist viel im Fitnessstudio um ein wenig Zeit für sich zu haben. Auch wenn Larissa weiß, dass Andrew ihren Job nicht unwichtiger findet, möchte auch sie mehr beitragen. Wie gut, dass sie im Fitnessstudio auf alte und neue Freunde trifft, die sofort anbieten ihr ein wenig Geld für Trainingsstunden zu geben.

Sie genießt aber auch die Abendstunden mit Charles, der fasziniert von ihrem Aliennachwuchs ist und ihr erstaunlich viele übernatürliche Erziehungstipps geben kann. Von Erziehungstipps ist Timba noch weit entfernt. Aber auch er genießt ihre Anwesenheit (vielleicht sogar ein wenig zu sehr?).

Und dann ist der große Tag gekommen. Das Gotteshaus ist fertiggestellt und das glückliche Brautpaar steht vor dem Altar.

Alle Freunde und Nachbarn sind zur Feier gekommen und gerührt von der ersten Trauung im Apfelblütental. Selbst Selma und Gwendolin, die jetzt auf dem angrenzenden Friedhof ihr Zuhause gefunden haben, sind bei der Feier dabei.

Die Kinder vergessen die harten zurückliegenden Sommertage und genießen den Abend. Alle haben sich herausgeputzt.

Die Feier geht bis tief in die Nacht. Am Ende ist nur noch das glückliche Brautpaar anwesend und genießt die Stille und einen letzten Happen vom Buffet. Die Kinder sind schon lange im Bett.

Die Hochzeit war nicht die letzte Sommerparty im Patchwork-Haushalt. Die Zwillinge feiern ihren Geburtstag und laden viele ein. Das Haus ist voll.

Und mit diesen zauberhaften Teenagern endet der Sommer im kleinen grünen Häuschen. Beide sind Wissenssims.

Underrated moments from Death is the Only Ending for the Villainess that hit me hard

Penelope wanting to do nothing with Yvonne and just wanting to escape but still warning the Duke against Yvonne's true self because he is the only father figure she ever had and she couldn't bear to see him turn on her

Reynold following Penelope at gatherings like a puppy because she asked him not to leave her during a banquet and he feels guilty for leaving her

Also Reynold remembering that Penelope wants a bunny so he looks after baby bunnies for her. He even wants to breed a rabbit with fur the same colour as Penelope's eyes

Vinter being so in love with Penelope that he still prepares the poison she asked for even if she was going to use it to kill someone, and he was ready to cover up her crime

Eckles being an illegitimate child but still being so cherished by his father and siblings that when Delman was invaded they removed his name from the royal heritage so that Eckles would not be captured and killed as a member of the royal family

Callisto hating to hear women cry because it reminds him of the times when his mother, who lost the Emperor's favour, would hug him and weep when he was a child

Torchwood Timeline (May 2024)

This is my canon timeline for the Torchwood TV stories, novels, and audio productions. It's fairly similar to the wiki timeline with a few small tweaks. It's also completely spoiler free, unlike the wiki timeline.

Some entries have firm dates, some have months, some have general decades, so I've tried my hardest to fit them into where I feel they fit. If anyone spots anything that I've missed or sees any glaring problems let me know and I'll try to suss it out. New stories will be added as they are released.

Blumen & Töpfe WG Teil 8

Tatsächlich habe ich diesen Teil schon vor laaaanger Zeit und mit wirklich viel Freude gespielt. Auch den Teil im Anschluss. Danach war beim Apfelblütental ein wenig die Luft raus und andere Projekte interessanter. Habe ich zwar fröhlich immer wieder hier und da ein Bild raussortiert oder einen Tag weitergespielt, so lag die Dokumentation fast ein Jahr lang brach. Ups. Noch immer mag ich diese BACC gerne und ich werde sie auch weiterhin hier vorstellen. Jedoch wird der Fokus in den nächsten Monaten mehr auf den Nachbarschaften Old Pleasant Valley und Mondscheinbucht liegen.

Mit den drei neuen Bewohnern kommt auch ein neues Geschäft. Mit ihrem Laden Blumen und Töpfe verwirklicht sich Maja einen Traum. Sie verkauft wundervoll duftende Blumensträuße und pflegeleichte Topfpflanzen. Das Geschäft und die Inhaberin werden schnell ins Herz geschlossen. Der Laden ist gut besucht.

Das Sortiment wird von schlichten Tontöpfen und ausgefallenen Vasen ergänzt. Alles handgefertig von Timba. Er ist ein draufgängerischer Künstler und hat noch keinen konkreten Plan im Leben. Ins Apfelblütental hat ihn der hohe Frauenanteil gezogen, denn er ist ein klassischer Romantiksim.

Der Laden zieht die unterschiedlichsten Sims an und wird oft noch bis spät in die Abendstunden besucht. Blumensträuße für die Liebste, der perfekte Gartenzwerg für den Vorgarten oder und Tontopf für die Terrasse. Dem Besucherandrang werden Maja und Timba alleine nicht gerecht.

Hagen wurde von Andrew angeworben. Er strebt eine Karriere im Bildungssektor an. Aktuell hilft er aber täglich im Laden aus. Er hatte nie geplant in einem Blumenladen zu arbeiten oder sich in die Besitzerin zu verlieben.

Und Timba hätte nie gedacht, dass er sein Herz an die süße Briefträgerin verlieren wird. Er und Beate verbringen jede ihrer freien Minuten zusammen. Oft geht sie direkt nach der Arbeit mit ihm aus und kommt nichtmal dazu sich frisch zu machen.

Die restliche Zeit verbringt Timba im Laden. Ein Stammgast ist schon jetzt Yasmin. Die beiden finden sich unwiederstehlich und können nicht genug voneinander bekommen.

So ist Timba auch mit seinen Herzensdamen beschäftigt und nicht im Haus, als Maja einen Küchenbrand verursacht. Sie und Nachbarin und Freundin Julia wollten Kekse backen. Zum Glück konnte die Feuerwehr den Brand löschen bevor Schlimmeres passierte.

Alle sind deshalb total durch den Wind. Besonders aber Nina. Wenn sie groß ist, möchte sie einen Feuerwehrmann heiraten. Jedem erzählt sie von dem spektakulären Ereignis. Timba entpuppt sich als besonders guter Zuhörer.

Auch durch den Wind ist Maja. Ihr geht es seit dem Küchenbrand nicht so gut. Hat sie es zuerst auf die Aufregung geschoben, so weiß sie es jetzt besser: Sie und Hagen erwarten Nachwuchs.

Nur selten schafft es die WG gemeinsam zum Essen. Der Laden, Dates oder die Schwangerschaftsvorsorge nehmen alle in Beschlag. Wenn sie zusammenkommen, dann unterhalten sie sich am liebsten über den Stadttratsch wie beispielsweise die vielen übernatürlichen Gruselgeschichten, die Nina gerne über ihren Opa erzählt oder die Liebesweisheiten aus Yvonnes Wahrsagerkugel.

So ist es natürlich nur selbstverständlich, dass die ebenfalls schwangere Yvonne zur Babyparty eingeladen wird. Unter den Gästen ist auch die "verrückte Tante" des Apfelblütentals: Selma. Hagen hat sie eingeladen.

Die Party hätte keine Minute später stattfinden dürfen. Kaum fällt Maja müde ins Bett setzen auch schon die Wehen ein. Begrüßt den kleinen Rotschopf Finn Lindenlaub.

My Grimoire Research Library

this is a list of my major resource I've referenced/am currently referencing in my big grimoire project. For books I'll be linking the Goodreads page, for pdfs, websites and videos i'll link them directly.

There are plenty of generalised practitioner resources that can work for everyone but as I have Irish ancestry and worship Hellenic deities quite a few of my resources are centred around Celtic Ireland, ancient Greece and the Olympic mythos. If you follow other sects of paganism you are more than welcome to reblog with your own list of resources.

Parts of my grimoire discuss topics of new age spiritualism, dangerous conspiracy theories, and bigotry in witchcraft so some resources in this list focus on that.

'Cillian Murphy is no stranger to stardom, but lately, his star has been shining even more brightly than usual. The Irish actor just won Best Actor at the Golden Globes for his performance in Oppenheimer. And proudly cheering him on, as usual, was his ever-dependable wife, Yvonne.

The pair have been married for almost 20 years and according to astrologer Debbie Frank, this should come as no surprise: they are actually "super-glued together" because "their charts are perfect for each other".

Speaking exclusively to HELLO!, Debbie deftly delves into the astrological charts of Cillian and Yvonne, showing exactly why the married couple are so compatible.

"Cillian is not the typical restless Gemini who shies away from commitment. He has Venus and Mercury in steady Taurus indicating he wants security rather than chasing excitement.

"His blueprint for love is a strong woman who knows her own mind as his Moon resides in fiery Aries. He doesn't expect the relationship to revolve around him," Debbie explains. "In fact, both Cillian and Yvonne moved to London together before they were married so that she could attend the Royal College of Art. It's an equal partnership."

Debbie explained that Yvonne's creativity has a magnetic pull on Cillian due to his astrological makeup. "Venus describes what you look for in love and Cillian's Venus in Taurus describes an attraction to a creative woman. Yvonne is renowned for her installations which incorporate film, performance, sculptural and textile elements, sound and writing," she said.

"Such an electric and eclectic multi-media mix stems from Yvonne's Sun in artistic Libra positioned close to progressive, innovative Uranus. She thrives on producing creative visual experiences that make people think and this is what delights Gemini Cillian, who adores the way her mind works and how she continually surprises him."

Yvonne is also a grounded source of stability for Cillian, thanks to her Venus in Virgo. "Yvonne is no head-in-the-clouds person. Her own Venus is in earthy Virgo which matches his in earthy Taurus. She provides the family stability whilst he works away and they are both in this for the long haul.

"Both of their Sun signs are in the sparkly Air element which keeps them interested in life and in each other and their Venuses are both in loyal Earth signs which gives them staying power. She is both a seeker (Moon in Sagittarius) and a stalwart – her Venus constantly doing what it takes to make the relationship work.

"Their marriage continues to be happily rock-solid even with Cillian's star in the ascendant all year with wow-factor Uranus and fortunate Jupiter bringing an incredible array of acting offers his way during 2024."

Despite his incredible talents, Debbie explained that Cillian remains a down-to-earth individual who doesn't let himself be blinded by the bright lights of Hollywood. "The actor is unlikely to change his stance on shunning the spotlight. He's at heart a worker bee with his Mars close to nose-to-the-grindstone Saturn.

"His chart bestows lucky breaks which gift him amazing opportunities but he applies himself to the nth degree. Cillian's Saturn (planet of karmic lessons) is in home-loving Cancer and he got the memo long ago that home is where his heart lies."'

Royal expert: -⁠ A major scandal

- This is not a small incident. This is a big scandal, says Nettavisen's royal house expert Tove Taalesen to VG.

On Sunday, Marius Borg Høiby (27), the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was arrested and charged with bodily harm and damage after an incident on the night of Sunday.

Taalesen worked as a lackey at the Palace for ten years, has written several books, and produces podcasts about the royal house.

Although Marius Borg Høiby does not have an official connection to the Royal House, she believes he is, in any case, part of the Royal Family and, therefore, a role model.

- He has a moral responsibility and should tighten up a bit more. If your mother has become Crown Princess, then you should be able to stay on the right side of the law, she says.

The investigation is still in an early phase. Defence attorney Øyvind Bratlien has told VG that his client has not yet explained himself to the police. It is unknown how he stands up to the charge.

This has happened

On Sunday, Marius Borg Høiby was arrested and charged with bodily harm and damage. The incident is said to have occurred in an apartment in Frogner on the night of Sunday.

The victim has a relationship with Høiby and has now been appointed Mette Yvonne Larsen as legal aid. She currently does not wish to comment on the case.

TV 2 wrote more about what allegedly happened in the apartment on Sunday night. According to TV 2, the police have found a knife sticking out of the wall when they entered the apartment. According to the channel, the woman have been admitted to the hospital following the incident.

Borg Høiby was arrested on Sunday but later released.

- It is important that the process is allowed to take its course correctly and that the media respects my client's need for privacy and tranquillity. The police must be allowed to do their job without the media deciding the facts and culpability. If the case ends there, it is possibly the court's task, writes the defender in a message to VG on Wednesday.

- We will return with a statement as soon as the time is right. It is not today, he wrote to TV 2 on Thursday.

On Thursday, VG tried to contact Borg Høiby's and the victim's defence attorneys. They have not responded to our inquiries.

Taalesen believes the Royal House should, in any case, expect the press to cover the charge.

- What I, and probably many others, wonder about is how this could happen, she says.

- Unclear role

- He actually has a somewhat unclear role. He has not chosen to join the Royal Family and has no official duties for the Royal House, says Taalesen.

She points out, however, that he is the son of our Crown Princess and the brother of our future Queen.

- First and foremost, this is a personal crisis. It then affects the Royal House because the Crown Prince, the King and the Queen have made it clear that Marius is a full family member.

She adds that she does not think Borg Høiby has sought out the spotlight to a large extent but that it is "a product of the mother's choice."

- He has handled that role relatively well, she believes.

In any case, she believes that the Palace should make a statement on the matter.

- The Crown Prince couple and Marius must stand up and explain how this could happen, she believes.

On Thursday, VG repeatedly tried to contact the Royal Family. They have yet to respond to our inquiries.

Affected in an unfortunate way

TV2's royal house expert Ole-Jørgen Schulsrud-Hansen says the Royal House doesn't have to make a statement. So far, they have referred to Høiby's defender.

Nevertheless, yesterday, the Crown Prince met the press when he visited the Olympics in Paris and said that the case affected him:

- It is a serious matter when the police are involved in how they are, but at the same time, it is not suitable for me to go into the details of the case, says the Crown Prince and points to Høiby's lawyer.

- Did the Crown Prince answer in a good way?

- The Crown Prince made his statement, and that must be seen as an official statement. I would say that it was in a good way, says the royal expert.

Schulsrud-Hansen believes the Royal House is now trying to understand the situation. It is not often that a Royal Family member is charged with a criminal act, and the royal expert says it is the first time this has happened in Norway.

He says that Høiby has participated in royal events but does not have a function of his own.

- The problem is that the family is the constitution, and then it is difficult to separate them from each other.

There have been several scandals in the Royal Family recently. Earlier this summer, Märtha Louise and Durek Verret's gin garnered a lot of criticism.

- How will the Royal House's reputation be affected by scandals in the long run?

- The Royal Family is affected in an unfortunate way when peripheral members receive negative press. We won't know what effect it has on the Royal House in the long run for a while, says Schulsrud-Hansen.

Taalesen says it is sad that such incidents take attention away from the royal house's "important and good work".

- The King has always worked hard and sacrificed to keep his path clean. The Royal Family members have an extra responsibility to do things better than the rest of us. Why should we have a monarchy if they are not to be role models? she asks herself.

She believes that the reputation of the Norwegian Royal Family is being weakened by scandals, including those surrounding Märtha Louise (52), Durek Verrett (49) and now Marius Borg Høiby.

- Weddings are probably the last thing the Royal Family has thought about in the last few days, she concludes.

For One Night Only: David at the RSC Fringe Festival (oh, and one other thing he probably didn't do...)

For today's post in "obscure things David Tennant did way back when," we'll need to travel back in time to the late 1990s. It was a busy time for David. By May 1997, he'd just wrapped up his first Royal Shakespeare Company repertory season (in which he simultaneously played Touchstone in As You Like It, Jack Lane in The Herbal Bed, and Alexander Hamilton in The General From America). This set of three plays had begun their runs in Stratford in early- to mid 1996; they then transferred over to London's Barbican Theatre, where they had ended their runs by mid-1997.

Programmes for The Herbal Bed, As You Like It, and The General From America

Next on David's theatre agenda was the role of Mickey in Hurlyburly (a play I've talked about before) which ran at the Queen's Theatre in London from August to November 1997. He then performed a one-off staged reading of Derek Jarman's Blue at the Chelsea Arts Theare on 16 November 1997 (which, by the way, is another little-known DT performance I want to explore!)

That was it for 1997, theatre-wise.

Then, beginning in March of 1998 - as I've explored previously - he began his run as Moon and Brindsley Miller in The Real Inspector Hound/Black Comedy. This double bill ran first at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Surrey and then in London, first at the Richmond Theatre and then at the Comedy Theatre. That play finally wrapped in August 1998.

But a month before wrapping The Real Inspector Hound/Black Comedy, David had popped over to Stratford to do something interesting, something that's the focus of this thread. It was called For One Night Only, and - as it says on the tin - it was, indeed, for one night only!

First, though? A little history!

Around 1990, the RSC began to hold an annual summer festival called the Royal Shakespeare Company Fringe Festival. Intended as a showcase for RSC talent, it included a mix of events: short plays, devised pieces, stand-up comedy, concerts, etc., as well as new works making their Stratford debut. The festival lasted two weeks and saw actors, directors, stage managers, musicians and staff all taking part in more than 25 events. All the events were either on Sundays, or timed around RSC productions, so audiences could go see fringe shows after seeing the actors perform in their usual RSC roles.

Most of the events for 1998's festival took place in a specially adapted 100-seat rehearsal room at the RSC's 'alternative' theatre, The Other Place. But not all of them. Their opening night event - on Sunday, 19 July - was to take place at the Swan Theatre.

That opening night event? For One Night Only!

Starring Desmond Barrit, Emma Handy, and Amanda Harris as well as David, the launch event cost £4-£12 and began at 7:30 pm. It was called a "curtain raiser" as well as "aptly-named."

And just what was it about? Well, um....I know it was organized and compiled by its star, Desmond Barrit...and that it was supposed to take its audience on a journey through the theatre. These articles say so.

But that's about all I know. I wish I had more details.

I am, however, supremely lucky to own a piece of ephemera about this one night only event.

Here's the front and back of my For One Night Only flyer, and as I'm sure you'll notice, it promises "an evening of theatrical prose and poetry...and a little gossip!"

Great. Could you tell us a bit more, thanks?

While researching For One Night Only, I came across something else of interest, which I thought for a moment David might have been involved in - an event staged nine days before For One Night Only. But after researching this event in more detail, I don't think he was involved, after all. Such a shame, really. He would've been perfect!

On Friday, 10 July 1998, at 1 pm in the afternoon, some Royal Shakespeare Company members got together to do a fund raiser and preview of the upcoming Fringe in the forecourt of the Other Place. Called a Sonnetathon, this three-hour event featured various RSC members reading all 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets!

Now a Sonnetathon would've been right up David's alley, am I right? He'd have loved it! But I'm about 99% certain he wasn't there - and here's why. That Friday night at 7:30 pm, David was onstage in The Real Inspector Hound/Black Comedy at the Comedy Theatre in London, that's why!

But here's why I say 99%. It's not impossible to imagine he got up early that Friday (after doing a show the night before) and took the train in to Stratford to do the Sonnetathon - wrapped it up by 4pm, then hopped on another train back to London in time to make the 7:30 curtain up for The Real Inspector Hound/Black Comedy.

But you have to admit, it seems unlikely.

But The Real Inspector Hound/Black Comedy wasn't showing on Sunday, 19 July 1998, so David was able to get to Stratford and go onstage as part of 'For One Night Only' to open the Fringe...and then get back to London in time to go onstage once more the following night.

So now you know what I know about For One Night Only.

Of course I'll keep looking for more!
