Ivy being considered a villian for being a toddler terror is wonderful (for characterization obvi)

Are there any other characters that got sent to the Isle as children (via villain classification or not)

-birb

Justice and Cora, Mischa, the LeGume twins, Mationette, and this one will surprise you- Rose and Ace were actually nearly four when they were sent to the Isle with their parents. Anthony Tremaine technically counts as Anastasia was pregnant when she was sentenced. Ivy is the only one who was sent because she had actually done something (being a toddler.)

Do you have any headcanons about Debbie Tremaine (sporty, sarcastic, strong, but fashionable girl) and Gaston Junior (he's not a jerk in mine. Slow and stronge like every other story,yes but a jerk, no. He's kind of like a mix of Isabella and Luisa from encanto) from my univrse?

Gaston Junior wanted Debbie Tremaine to notice him. But she never did. She was always talking with her sisters and just brushed by him no matter how he tried to attract her attention. She never even looked at him.

So what did he do? Like most besotted young men, he asked his father for advice.

"Impress her," was Gaston's advice. "Show her what sort of man you are. Show her your strength."

And so, every day, Gaston Junior carried something really big and heavy past the Tremaine house just when Debbie and her sisters were leaving for school (which meant that he would be late for school, but LeGumes don't tend to care about punctuality in their education).

Debbie still didn't take notice of him, so every day, once he was past Debbie, he would disappointedly put down whatever the big heavy thing was that he was holding and start planning what show of strength he would do for the next day.

Debbie never noticed a thing, until her attention was drawn to the pile of nine tables, sixteen chairs, two bedframes, one mattress, five cement blocks, and a very annoyed goblin inside a barrel just beyond the house, and wondered how and why all these things had gotten there.

Fun historical fact; Alexander Hamilton not only had a grandson named Laurens Hamilton (After John Laurens) from his son, John Church Hamilton. But he also had a great grandson named Laurens Hamilton (After Laurens Hamilton the first) from Laurens Hamilton's brother and JCH's other son, William Gaston Hamilton.

Ministerial rule: habituation is not acceptance.

Richelieu's exercise of power as first minister from 1624 was not seen as a providential gift of strong leadership in difficult times. France was a monarchy, and one political issue about which there was overwhelming consensus in early modern France was that kings alone ruled. Their right to rule was ordained by God, who had established kings and princes as His direct representatives on earth. They might delegate some of their executive authority to subordinate agents, but this was strictly constrained by the need for the king actively and visibly to take all political decisions- for he alone was accountable to God for these. If French kings were to be advised, and there was plenty of precedent and tradition for taking advice, then there were constitutionally desirable forms in which this advice should be given: meetings of the Estates General, the most recent one having been held in 1614 to advise the queen mother and the young Louis XIII; assemblies of notables; the constitutional opinions and judgements of the Parlement of Paris, and to some extent the lesser Parlements. Above all, regular counsel should be sought through the members of the royal family and princes of the blood, all of whom were considered natural advisors in royal decision-making. More formally, of couse, an adult king attended meetings of his Conseil d'en Haut, and listened to the advice of his senior ministers before making his decisions.

In this political world dominated by consensus about the king's indivisible sovereignty, the existence of a first minister posed a considerable problem. In what would be understood as normal political circumstances there was no dominant minister, least of all one whose power and patronage might overshadow the ruler's. There would be a group of government ministers of relatively equivalent standing in terms of political experience, clients, and royal favour, even if their particular offices- chancellor, keeper of the seals, superintendent of finances, secretary for foreign affairs- implied varying status in governmental and court hierarchies. These figures would vie for the king's favour in pursuit of particular policies or actions. Though individually they might have great authority to make policy and distribute favour within their own administrative fiefs, there was little possibility that any one of them could consistently shape overall crown policy. During the reign of Henri IV (1589-1610), which in the 1630s and 1640s was increasingly seen as the model for virtuous royal government, Maximilien de Béthune, duc de Sully, might enjoy considerable royal favour and confidence, and directly control the king's finances, but he was never first minister. He was flanked by high-status figures such as Pomponne de Bellièvre and Nicolas de Neufville de Villeroy, who enjoyed the king's confidence, controlled their own parts of the government, and were as likely to influence the king by their policy proposals as Sully was. The apparent re-establishment of such a system under Louis XIV's personal rule in 1661 signalled a return to this style of traditional royal government that was certainly not lost on contemporaries.

Government by a dominant first minister, in contrast, had to be carefully finessed; it was likely to be seen as rule by a "minister-favourite", with all the pejorative implications of undue influence and personal and financial advancement. The strength of first-ministerial rule was determined by the ability to replace or marginalize other figures of authority in the government, by appointing clients or allies to other, now subordinate, ministerial positions, and by constructing mechanisms to ensure a monopoly of access and advice to the ruler. Both Louis XIII and Richelieu had early and first-hand experience of such rule by minister-favourite in the rapid rise and fall of Concino Concini during the later regency government of queen Marie de Médicis. Concini appointed his client Richelieu as secretary for foreign affairs, and was murdered in 1617 by a coterie around the young Louis XIII, who in turn seized power from the regent. The young Louis XIII was thus presented as an enemy of over-powerful ministerial rule, and créatures like Richelieu who had risen as one of Concini's ministerial team were summarily dismised […]

Louis XIII grew frustrated with what seemed the appeasement of Spain by his ministers in the early 1620s. He was prepared to abandon previous antipathies and to consider appointing a minister with a known record of anti-Spanish pronouncements, who had positioned himself within a hawkish faction in debates about French foreign policy. Sponsored by the queen mother, in whose party he had established himself by default, cardinal Richelieu made his return to the royal council in 1624.

Richelieu's intention to remove those ministers who might be able to challenge his influence with the king was clear from the outset: the disgrace of Charles de La Vieuville, superintendent of finances, followed in short order […] Meanwhile he sought to consolidate his standing with Louis XIII. The young king considered Richelieu under probation, and tolerated the extension of his power and dominance of the council only because of his frustration with the failures of previous ministers […]

Yet for Richelieu defeating the Huguenots in France was essentially a distraction from the process of justifying his position to the king as the architect of an aggressive anti-Habsburg foreign policy. Unlike Mazarin, who was to prove dangerously complacent about "selling" his policies to the French political class, Richelieu spent time and money acquiring writers who would defend the necessity of France's struggle against Habsburg "encirclement" and "universal monarchy", and who vaunted Richelieu's ability in the conduct of affairs. Yet despite this attempt to shape political opinion, criticism of Richelieu's direct assumption of power, of his use of his créatures to manage the king, and his exclusion of alternative sources of counsel was widely shared and well articulated. Already the argument was gathering weight that Richelieu's position represented an illegitimate, abusive seizure of power from the king. Opposition coalesced around the king's brother, Gaston d'Orléans, and his ill-treatment by the cardinal, who feared that Gaston and then his possible heirs were likely to succeed to the throne in the absence of children from Louis XIII's marriage. The disgrace and exile of Marie de Médicis after her failure to dislodge Richelieu in the November 1630 "Day of Dupes" worsened this perception, in which it seemed that Richelieu was intent on eliminating and replacing the royal family as "natural" advisors to the king.

[..]

France was operating on the sidelines of the continuing Thirty Years' War, in which the Habsburg powers of Spain and the Emperor were fully occupied by the struggle against the Dutch and those German protestant princes grouped under the imposing military leadership of Sweden. Richelieu could thus offer a relatively low-cost, apparently low-risk enhancement of the king's prestige and influence. Despite the failed rebellion in 1632 led by the duc de Montmorency, these years were notably less preoccupied with the problem of ministerial "tyranny". As was to be the case for cardinal Mazarin in the mid-1640s, foreign policy success could mute at least some domestic political pressure. The king's satisfaction with Richelieu's achievements on his behalf sent a message to those who opposed both the principle and the practice of first-ministerial rule. Richelieu himself was convinced that the execution of the duc de Montmorency, who, until his alliance with Gaston d'Orléans in 1632, had been a committed servant of the monarchy, had sent a clear message about the king's commitment to his first minister.

It is impossible to predict how long this situation might have continued, with France able to stand on the margins of the Thirty Years' War, accruing piecemeal but incremental territorial and political gains, and keeping both her military and financial commitments relatively contained. But habituation to rule by a first minister who was perceived to exercise an ever tighter control over the king's policies, and a monopoly over appointments and favour, was not the same as lasting acceptance of such a system. There remained a fundamental tension between the sovereign's right to delegate executive powers to whoever he chose, and the legitimacy of a minister who was usurping legislative and prerogative authority that could only belong to the king.

Meteorologists Should Look to the Theater for Naming Storms #fromtheblog

The National Hurricane Center began naming tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean in 1953. Meteorologists say naming these storms helps people remember them, helps make communication about the storms more effective and, ideally, helps people stay safer when a storm makes landfall. The lists of hurricane names now is generated and maintained by the World Meteorological Organization. Names are…

hii!! i absolutely love the evie and riah snippet!!

but could i request some hcs or just like info dump on maddy and like the dynamic of her little group? because i know the gastons and clay were raised in the frollo cult, how are they ok with being associated with a magic user/ magic born? and does maddy regularly communicate with the cult or is she completely separate? and how do constantine, lydia, and zevon interact with any others in maddy’s circle?

sorry for the long ask!

Thank you! And never apologize for sending a long ask, I love giving long answers.

So, there are three "circles" around the epicentre, the leader, Maddy. The innermost circle is Clay and the Gastons, they're the ones Maddy knows won't actively sabotage her any chance they get. The second circle is Lydia, Constantine, and Zevon, whom Maddy knows she can control but also knows that they hate her and will take any chance they get to undermine her. Then there's the outermost circle, who you guys haven't heard about yet- Marionette (daughter of Stromboli, 19, Demons deserter) and Luna (son of McLeach, 18, Jungles deserter.) These two are out of Maddy's control, they're under Maleficent's control using some experimental magick. While there's no chance of them turning against Maleficent, as they can't even breathe against orders and they have absolutely no free will, they aren't under Maddy's control and she doesn't like that. Those two are so uninvolved with the gang that pretty much everyone thinks they died during the war. Marionette's sister, Doll (she goes by Andromeda and if you call her Doll or Dolly she will kill you in very gruesome ways) is about to be kind of important. Marionette, Luna, and Andromeda are all very powerful, and Maleficent doesn't like that one of the set has gone AWOL. There are also occasionally part-time members who just join because they want to go about inter-gang conflict in a way the heads of their gangs won't like, but they aren't very important.

The groups are definitely very separate from one another. The Gastons and Clay are pretty comfortable around Maddy (at least they are now, they very much weren't originally, but more on that in a second,) and love making Lydia, Constantine, and Zevon miserable. Lydia, Constantine, and Zevon actively despise Maddy, Clay, and the Gastons and try to avoid them. Both groups try to avoid Marionette and Luna because those two kind of freak the rest of them out. It's almost like there are gangs within the gang- one made of Maddy, the Gastons, and Clay, one made of Lydia, Constantine, and Zevon, and one made of Luna and Marionette- and those gangs only get along when they're forced to.

Originally, Clay and the Gastons never would have associated with a magick-user like Maddy. But she tricked them, as she wanted eyes in the cult per her grandmother's request. She asked for their names and, because they'd never been given that kind of anti-magick training, she got their souls (she doesn't need to give them a condition. Her grandmother does it to lull people into a false sense of security and Maverick does it of her own free will so that she can't override someone's free will, but Maddy doesn't do it.) They were originally very pissed about this but, after a while, they realized that Maddy was giving them a lot of freedom and immunity to just be The Worst. They were immortal, they couldn't be killed in self-defence or killed seeking Isle justice for someone else, and they liked that.

Maddy is not big with the cult. Clay and the Gastons are her eyes in the cult and she keeps her distance because she hates the cult and the cult hates her. She'll never tell Clay and the Gastons this, but she's secretly hoping her grandmother will give the order to bring the cult down. They think she just means to keep an eye on the cult to protect herself, but no. She wants to destroy the cult and Lydia absolutely despises that the two of them agree on something.

Lydia, Constantine, and Zevon don't like to interact with the rest of the gang. Because Constantine can barely talk and Zevon is... Zevon, Lydia is usually the only one who interacts with the rest, and they go out of their way to make her life suck. Remember The Window Incident? Well, that's far from the first time she'd considered doing it and it's far from the first or last time she's taken extreme measures to get away from the Gastons and Clay. All of her interaction with them are just them doing stuff to trigger her and her either barely restraining herself from murdering them, her trying to murder them, or her jumping out a window or through a wall to escape the situation. It never goes well. Lydia and Zevon hate the Gastons, Clay, and Maddy. Constantine is afraid of them but also hates them for what they do to Lydia (Zevon does not feel pain and is extremely hard to punish.)

So yeah, interactions between the inner and middle circle do not go well.

Antigua and Barbuda plans to hold a referendum on becoming a republic within the next three years, the Caribbean nation’s prime minister told British media Saturday, a move that could see King Charles III removed as its head of state. "This is a matter that has to be taken to a referendum…within the next, probably, three years," Prime Minister Gaston Browne told ITV News shortly after a local ceremony confirmed Charles III as the country's King following Queen Elizabeth II's death. The tiny Caribbean island nation, which became independent from Britain in 1981, is one of 14 [remaining] Commonwealth members who share the UK monarch as their head of state.
