#CONNIE  ( VERSE: MODERN. )

Have you already wrote headcannons for a reader on there period? With the aot boys please. Non - modern au if you can
a/n: there is a NSFW period one already done, it isn’t specified as modern au or canon verse. you can find it right here :) this however is a SFW, canon-verse just for you! just obviously this post has mention of menstruation lol
eren jaeger has a bottle of painkillers he keeps in his jacket pocket for you. he knows that you won’t end up taking them until you’re writhing in pain, so as soon as you mention your period, he’s unscrewing the lid.
armin arlert always rubs your back when you start your period. he’s understanding, patient, and kind. he carries around a pad/tampon just in case you need one.
connie springer treats you like a princess when that time comes around. he’s extra sweet to you, carefully picking his words. he’s afraid of that ‘period-wrath.’
jean kirstein gives you half off his food during your period week. he knows how draining your period can be and there’s no way he’s letting his baby go on missions not being properly nourished.
porco galliard hates when you go on your period because you and pieck always sync up. the two of you decide to make his life a living hell whenever that week rolls around. he always says it’s “too much feminine energy.”
zeke jaeger deems you his queen for that week (and every other week.) he’d do anything to keep you happy even if it meant embarrassing himself somehow. he always picks up a sweet treat for you when out.
reiner braun gets queasy at the mention of your menstruation which you use to your advantage. he’ll do anything you ask him if it means you’ll stop describing what’s happening inside of you.
bertholdt hoover is so gentle with you. always asking if you’re alright, if you’re cramps are too bad. he gives you forehead kisses and generally tries to keep you from exerting too much energy.
erwin smith doesn’t care about your period. in public, at least. after the days done and he doesn’t have to be your superior anymore, he’s buckling for you and every request. he draws you warm baths.
levi ackerman wants you to rest as much as possible. he hates seeing you go out with the rest of the scouts, knowing how painful your period can be. he’ll find an excuse to keep you inside the walls.

Books about colonialism now that The Queen is dead:
Colonialism is, unsurprisingly, A BIG FUCKING SUBJECT, and any reading list is going to fall short. (if you want to get versed in anti-colonial theory, here’s a really good beginners list). Because of all this, I’m staying focused on British imperialism, and specifically, events that happened within The Queen’s lifetime.

AU modern - Reacting to WAP
Eren - Mikasa - Reiner - Levi - Erwin - Annie - Porco - Connie
Tumblr media
GIF by urbanxdivinity
You're driving along, and your partner insisted on driving, so you get to be in charge of the music - of course, when you see WAP appear on suggested songs, you put it on, just dying to see the reaction on your lover's face.
They're all just too precious for our world.
Song: WAP - Cardi B (Ft. Megan thee stallion)
There's some hoe's in this house...
Eren
Tumblr media
GIF by theodorofrain
As the song starts, his eyes flicker over to the stereo, then to you, and then back onto the road.
"Make that pull-out game WEAK!" Makes his eyebrows spring up in surprise.
His face is unreadable for the first part, almost as if he didn't notice the lyrics. But he did.
"Is this what you're into now?" He mutters nonchalantly as he turns the wheel.
You don't reply. Just observe.
"I want you to park that big Mack Truck, right in this little garage" He blinks, pulling back his head.
He's starting to wonder if you were trying to tell him something.
Turns around and is heading back home.
"E-eren, where are we -"
"You know, if you want me to fuck you I'll always happily do it. You don't need to put on a song to - "
"Eren, n-no." You try to speak through laughter as he picks up speed to get home. "It wasn't... like that, ha-ha!"
His face was blank, priceless.
"Well, too late now I've turned around. Text Jean, we're going to be a little late."
Mikasa
Tumblr media
GIF by immanime
Mikasa doesn't notice at first. She's a careful driver and was focusing on something happening up ahead. Nothing bad, just something that required her focus.
"Bring a bucket and a mop, for this wet ass pussy." Snaps her attention. She wasn't sure if she had heard that right, her eyes widening and looking at the stereo.
"Give me everything you got! For this wet ass pussy" Nope. She heard right.
Her face deepens into a hue of crimson, her lips parting in a sheer sock.
"Y-y/n!" She gasps, totally blown away at the vulgar lyrics. "What is this?"
Her fingers fumble for the knob to turn down the volume, but you playfully bat her hand away.
"No, no." You tease. "You wanted to drive, so you said I could pick the music."
Throughout the song, her face was locked into a worried frown her face getting redder and redder as it went on.
"My innocence..." She whispers when it finally ends.
You'd literally ruined her entire day, those images of Cardi B's wet bajingo invading her mind. It took her until dinner later for her to see the funny side. But until then, she isn't best pleased with you until then.
Reiner
Tumblr media
GIF by delu-jean
Reiner is uncomfortable as soon as the intro begins. But he gives it a chance in silence.
What the hell is a Kegal? He thinks, totally innocent and oblivious. But he doesn't really want to say anything, thinking you're enjoying the song. He doesn't want to ruin it for you.
Is this what people listen to? His eyes dart over to you, doing a little jive dance.
A pink hue colours in the tops of his cheeks and nose, the lyrics just reminding him of the intimate times he's had with you, his love.
"I don't wanna spit, I wanna gulp, I wanna gag, I wanna choke." He lets out an involuntary squeak, clearing his throat immediately after, pretending he has to cough.
"Are you okay?" You ask, holding in your laughter to the best of your abilities.
He nods, pretending he has no idea what your concern is for.
The song ends and he is tense, wide-eyed and still a blushing mess.
"What did you think?" You ask, innocently.
"I think that woman needs to find someone nice to fulfil her needs."
You can't get over how precious he is at times.
"And I think some things should be kept private."
"They certainly do." You sigh happily looking at the sweetest man you've ever met.
Levi
Tumblr media
GIF by reallysaltykou
Don't expect much of a reaction from Levi. Before the first verse even ends, he switches it off. And he's lightning fast.
"We're not listening to that filth."
He's not dumb, he knows you were trying to wind him up, so he's a little huffy with you for an hour or so afterwards.
When you reach your destination and Erwin greets you (meeting up for lunch) he asks how you are.
"I was great until my ears were assaulted by the worst song I have ever heard." He mutters, still huffy.
He lightens up about it, but don't expect a laugh or anything.
Erwin
Tumblr media
GIF by reallysaltykou
Eyes flicker a little wider for a moment, but after that not much of a reaction.
His eyes snap to you now and again to gauge your reaction, wondering if you'd put it on by mistake and you hadn't noticed.
The song ends.
"Well now." He comments. "There were indeed some "hoes in that house. I think I said that right."
Erwin is clever. He's turning your prank back onto you.
"Is that how it's said, y/n? Hoe's?"
"Erwin - "
"And that 'dangling thing in the back of her throat' is called a uvula."
"I don't think she - "
"So there are hoes in the house. They have a... was it WAP?"
These things did not sound right coming from Erwin.
"The storytelling was tremendous."
"Okay, Erwin I get it please sto -"
"Catchy too. I think i'll add it to my playlist." He then begins to sing, to your horror. Monotone, and flat yet he still goes for it. "Got me thinking about that wet ass pu-"
"Okay Erwin, you win! Just please, god, stop!"
He smirks. Chalk up yet another victory for Erwin. He knows you'll never play such music in his presence again.
Annie
Tumblr media
GIF by gojosbizarre
Annie doesn't seem phased in the slightest. She continues driving without a word, her face never changing from its usual stern expression.
"That song was disgusting." She eventually says when it's over. "Never play it again while I'm here."
"Okay..." you reply, disappointed in her reaction.
"Not a single person could realistically give anyone that. Bought her a phone? Just to see pictures in between her legs? Hasn't he heard of pornhub?"
"Woah, jesus Annie I don't thin -"
"She's either full of it or she likes to pull pathetic simps."
"It's just a son-"
"Music is art. That wasn't art."
"That's subjective really isn't it?"
"No."
Porco
Tumblr media
GIF by smol-ackerman
Porco bursts into a giggle after the first verse. "What the hell is this, y/n?"
Starts to bob his shoulders to the rhythm. "Catchy though."
"She wants him to what?!" He laughs.
He laughs pretty much through the entire thing and when it ends, he pulls over to the side of a street, undoing his seatbelt."
"Porco? What are you-"
"You want me to do that to you?" He turns to face you with a devilish grin.
"N-no!" You joke, laughing as he lunges over and assaults your neck with kisses that tickle.
"Aw, but I wanna 'tie you up like you're surprised'" He jests, laughing as he grabs your waist.
"Okay, okay, I get it!" You laugh as he continues his tickle assault.
"That's what I thought." He grins, stopping and pecking your cheek. "Come on, we're gonna be late."
Connie
Tumblr media
GIF by reallysaltykou
You're not surprised, to be honest when he exclaims; "Oh! I love this song!"
Sings it word-for-word. Dancing. The whole package.
Lowers his windows and turns up the volume.
It's you who squirms in embarrassment as he yells out the window; "CERTIFIED FREAK - SEVEN DAYS A WEEK!"
You end up turning it off, resulting in a whine from him.
"Aw, you're no fun y/n."

Did modern Connie ever do prom? Because Bess definitely did not. She didn't want too, what with being bullied, losing her best friend to voluntary unaliving, and being ridiculed for having a baby at 16 and spending time in a mental hospital afterwards. Oliver respected her wishes by taking Abigail (shocker!) instead. His argument: "You didn't tell me I shouldn't, go, Babe, you just said that you didn't want to go."
Ugh, Oliveeeeer, you slimeball!
Tbh, I don’t know if Connie would have gone. She loves a good party, but I see her pulling an Elle Woods and staying back to study for college entrance exams. I could see her throwing a personal party for her college admittance.
If she had gone in the school AU-verse, and if she saw Oliver was there with Abigail, she would splash them with punch and storm out, then immediately go to Bess’ house with movies and snacks.
“Prom was lame. Can I hang out here? With you?”

Jean x Reader, Modern AU Oneshot
Tags: suggestive banter, flirting, mentions of being turned on
Fluff to Smut Scale: 1 (fluff) ——— 10 (smut), I’d say this falls around a 5, so… flutt? Haha
Context: You and Jean are at a party and a game of beer pong is about to commence.
Jean stood at one end of the table taunting you with his offer. He was casually tossing an orange ping-pong ball up in the air and catching it as it fell back into his palm. His eyes were fixed on you and there was a slight to glint to them that was exaggerated by his crooked smile.
“Jean, no!” You snapped playfully back at him.
Jean swung his head in the air with exasperation and rolled his eyes, “Oh c’mon, I know you can play,” he taunted you.
You considered his words before agreeing, “Uhm, yeah you’re right, but I can’t,” you reminded him yet again.
“What do you mean you “can’t”??”
You lightly stomped your foot. “Jean Kirschtein, do you see this dress?!” You gestured down your body, pointing out the little dress that was wrapped beautifully around your curves.
“Oh, I’m seeing it.” Jean’s smile widen as he looked you up and down and took a swig from his beer. The other party goers (mostly mutual friends of yours) laughed and shook their heads. Jean was flirting with you as per usual. Nothing had really happened between you two yet. You had never kissed, never gotten too physical. There were times where you were sat close to each other, your legs pressed together as you squeezed in with other friends. Sometimes Jean would drape his arm around you casually. You’d often hug goodbye. And while every one of these moments did send little bolts of electricity through you, they never amounted to anything else. Jean and you were great friends and of course the idea of being more was tempting but the risk that it could ruin your friendship always popped up, stopping you from making any further moves.
Your jaw dropped slightly at Jean’s overtly flirtatious response to you. “I’m not squatting and bending all over the place to chase after balls every time Connie and Sasha miss! Which will probably be a lot!”
At the other end of the table Connie and Sasha erupted in protest.
“You won’t have to y/n, I’ll get them for you,” Jean offered with a slight mocking bow.
“Oh yeah? You’ll chase my balls for me, Jean?” You mocked him right back. “You know what, fine.” You finally gave in and the room erupted in some celebration. “But! Boys against girls.” You raised an eyebrow at Jean before locking eyes with Sasha.
“OH YEAH, you losers are going down!” Sasha exclaimed.
Connie laughed and shook his head as he walked to the other side of the table to join Jean who gave Connie a welcoming pat on the shoulder.
“We’ve got this Connie, these girls’ have got nothing on us.”
You took your place next to Sasha.
“In further name of friendly competition…” Sasha began with a mischievous look on her face, “how about a bet?”
“Oh, here we go,” Connie playfully rolled his eyes at Sasha.
“What’ve you got in mind, sweethearts?” Jean provoked the two of you as he leaned over the table a bit.
You and Sasha exchanged a silent glance and then a smile rose on both of your faces. You two had been friends for years now so the ability to read each others’ minds came easily.
You offered up your idea, “Loser has to get on their knees and declare their everlasting love and gratitude to the winners with the utmost praise.”
Snickers came from the crowd of friends that gathered to watch the scene unfold. Connie and Jean took a look at each other, with their having been friends for years too they were also well versed in reading each others minds. They nodded once to each other before Jean spoke directly at you,
“If you really want to get on your knees for me y/n, just say so,” He smiled wide at you before plopping the ping pong ball into one of the beer pong cups.
“Oh, we’ll see just who it is on their knees at the end of this,” you replied as you did the same with a ball before fishing it out of the cup and aiming it at the triangle of cups in front of Jean.
“Eye, for, eye,” You and Jean said in sync while locked in eye contact. You threw your balls at the same time and to his dismay, your ball sank into one of his cups, but his ball merely bounced of the edge of a cup on your side and dropped to the ground.
“Nice one!” Sasha complimented you. “I think this game is set boys, if you want to quit now, we can skip over your poor performance and just get to the bows and praise,” She mocked.
Connie pointed a finger at Sasha. “That doesn’t mean anything mouth-breather, you wait!”
While Connie and Sasha were yelling back and forth with each other, Jean had picked up the ball he had thrown from the floor and was now standing in front of you. His 6 feet 2 inches towering well above you. He stood so close you could feel the heat radiating off of him. You caught whiffs of his scent and there they were, those little bolts of electricity running under your skin. You extended your open hand in front of him and Jean lightly placed the ping pong ball in your palm. His finger tips brushed against your skin. No words were spoken out loud between you. There was no need for words when the meeting of your eyes already said so much.
—— 30 Minutes Later ——
“Oh this is a lovely scene,” Sasha smiled.
“Agreed, I think I could get used to this,” You beamed.
Connie and Jean were on their knees in front of you and Sasha. With Connie directly in front of Sasha and Jean Kirschtein directly in front of you. You stared down at him, a large smile plastered on your face. You loved teasing Jean and the sight of him here on his knees in front of you was just too good.
“Go on,” you prompted Jean.
He shook his head at you and cast his eyes downward before taking a quick breath in and lifting his head back up to look you in the eye. Jean reached out and took your hand in his. “My dear, dear y/n—”
You cut Jean off, “princess would do better, don’t you think?”
Jean smirked and began again, “my dear, dear princess… you have bested me.”
“And??” You persisted.
“And… what a fool I was to think you would loose to a lowly peasant like me,” Jean joked. He then brought your hand slowly to his mouth and spoke again, his lips brushing against your knuckles, “I will never doubt you again, forgive me,” he pleaded and then placed a light kiss on the back of your hand, his eyes never leaving yours.
Heat rose to your cheeks as you tried to contain a bashful smile from spreading across your lips.
You cleared your throat, “you are forgiven. You may rise.”
Jean lifted himself from his knees and towered over you again. His golden brown eyes bore into yours. He leaned down a little to bring his face closer to yours before mischievously whispering, “now, when’s it your turn?” His breath puffed onto your cheek which caused even more heat to rise to your face… as well as sink between your legs.

Passion Dance (McCoy Tyner) - Connie Han
A TRIBUTE TO MCCOY TYNER: An iconic recording and composition, “Passion Dance” captures the signature style of piano giant McCoy Tyner in his modern flow and uninhibited spirit. It is difficult to put into words the tremendous impact his album The Real McCoy (1967) with Joe Henderson, Elvin Jones, and Ron Carter has had on my music and soul as a jazz musician.   Though known for his pioneering take-no-prisoners approach at the piano, McCoy was supremely musical above all and was equally versed in elegant lyricism as he was in hard-driving and innovative rhythm.

SeeYouSpaceCowboy - - The Romance of Affliction
It was a cold, dark winter evening. My best friend and I were having one of our frequent "get faded and listen to music" sessions. Those hang outs were always the highlight of my week. Crack a cold one, have some deep conversations, and crank some tunes. Lift off, baby. The vibes were good, but when it came time for me to commandeer the Auxiliary Cord SS, I admit I was a little sheepish.
"You got any new shit?"
"Well… sort of… you might not like it though"
"Fuck it dog, put that shit on. You know I'm pretty open minded"
I laughed.
"Alright, we'll see about that"
I think I might have put on "…and My Faded Reflection in Your Eyes", first, but my memory of that night is a little hazy. It doesn't matter though, because what happened next was a complete and enthusiastic unravelling of our former selves as we bonded over a new found mutual love of melodic metalcore. We had been friends for close to 10 years, but up until this point we had reserved our musical exchanges for mostly palatable cool guy bands who hid their emotional urgency under a veil of artful stoicism. Perhaps this was done out of shame, because wearing your heart on your sleeve is generally discouraged in the culture of adulthood. It felt like a risk to open up and share the side of me that still loves an arguably juvenile mode of expression, but the reward for doing so was unbridled joy and connection.
SeeYouSpaceCowboy said fuck shame, fuck stoicism, fuck acting cool. We're gonna scream, we're gonna sing, and we're gonna feel something. The Romance of Affliction is scenecore for the modern age, and it is completely unapologetic in being so. Taking cues from bands like Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Blood Brothers, Botch, and Underoath, SYSC created a special blend of sounds that is equal parts chaotic, violent, and sweet as sweet tea on a hot southern day. Sugar, spice, everything nice, and a metric fuck tonne of Chemical X. Excuse my language.
One of the first things to really draw me into this album was the vocals. This album has a major case of split personality disorder, and I mean that in the best way possible. Vocalist Connie Sgarbossa bounces between larynx shredding highs, lows, and sasscore yelps while guitarist Ethan Sgarbossa and bassist Taylor Allen also chime in with mid ranged roars and lovesick cleans. It's enough to induce a psychotic episode, or at the very least give listeners with ADHD enough variance in frequency and delivery to keep them stimulated. The vocal patterns are impressively synchronized, and you can tell that a lot of thought goes into this aspect of their music. It's something I wish more bands would take note of, but maybe that's just my addled attention span speaking. There are some pretty cool, albeit head turning features on this album as well. Shaolin G's rap verse on "Sharpen What You Can" in particular has been polarizing, but ends up being one of the more impactful and (frankly) punk rock moments on the album as he comes in with a strong message of self affirmation and being true to yourself in the face of adversity.
The instrumentals don't hold back either, and come well equipped with their own hyper aggressive inability to sit still. Razor sharp panic chords and time signature switch ups dance their way toward atmospheric passages before plummeting back down to earth with classic single note breakdowns. Almost every song comes packaged with a hookworm chorus or dreamy melodic bit to offer respite from the teeth clenching madness and draw you back in for repeated listens. A good hook is one that makes you really appreciate everything leading up to and preceding it, and thankfully the band delivers on this every time. SYSC doesn't just rely on a catchy chorus to sell a mediocre song. They aren't afraid to show their full hand of influences either, as they ambitiously swing between three or four different niche subgenres in rapid motion. It might sound like a recipe for disaster, but it comes across as more meticulous than random, and the result is a surprisingly smooth and cohesive experience. 13 songs and 40 minutes goes by with a flash, and not once do I feel like the band is testing my patience.
The Romance of Affliction is a time machine that will unlock forgotten pieces of your heart, but it's also a vessel of progression for a subgenre that not many are brave enough to claim in today's landscape of serious mature stoicism. SeeYouSpaceCowboy have managed to breathe fresh life into old tricks in a way that only the most studious of scene disciples could pull off, and I can't wait to see them continue to flourish and expand their palette of influences in the years to come.

Poking around with some OC (re)designs - trying to make them relatively distinct but not annoying to draw and it turns out messing around with profiles is an easy way to make that happen. There’s a lil bit of Connie and Alys in there, but also Henry and Dmitri (the bigger drawings in the second and third images) who are Ancient OCs that have changed so many times, being dragged from a fantasy universe into a supernatural/fantasy/modern verse. They finally look Right though

Masculine and Non-Feminine Pink Academia
While this is a very "feminine" space, as someone who isn't always a girl (she/they btw!), I understand the struggle of being a non-girl and wanting to find your place among the girlies. Hopefully I have some useul ideas for you, ranging from non-feminine women, men, and nonbinary inspiration.
Characters
Non-Feminine Women - Cady Heron, Mean Girls. I know a character from the girly movies Holy Trinity seems like a weird start, but of course, Cady's journey is one if jumping in too far and losing her tomboyish nature. But, at the end, her style reflects the positive aspects of her journey by being a better-fitting and a little bit more trendy, but the outfit is still just a casual top and jeans which doesn't necessarily have a gendered association. And, of course, she's an iconic academic character as a mathlete.
-Connie Maheswaren, Steven Universe. Connie's style evolves from a pretty billowy dress to a cute button-up and shorts. Connie loves reading, studying, and swordfighting and has a style that can go between masculine and feminine.
-Spinelli, Recess. I'd say most people who know me know that I am the way I am because of the Ashleys, but Spinelli is good inspo too. She's only an academic in secret, but her over-sized t-shirt as a sort-of dress toes the line between gender presentation. It's dress-like, but probably also a hand-me-down from her older brother, and is shapeless enough for the androynous=shapeless trend.
- Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice. Even as a fancy lady in the regency era, she's still more likely to be found on romps in the mud, even if that'd be 'most unladylike.' Personally, if I were in charge of a modern interpretation, I think she'd be a dungarees/overalls kind of girl. One of my favourite interpretations is in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries where she's a tech intern.
Men - Nick Young, Crazy Rich Asians. I love a man passionate about his culture, preserving history, and snazzy dressing. Since he's richer than God,he does dress like Daddy's Little Rich Boy, but it's a classic look for a reason.
- Todd Anderson, Dead Poets Society. SO, DPS is a stable of Dark Academia, but I'm borrowing Todd for the Pink girlies because he felt overlooked for most of his life, and then discovered his romantic, poetic side. It feels like a very Pink theme to me.
-Ryan Evans, High School Musical. Ryan and Sharpay had their style game at maximum for all three movies, and Ryan truly is a bright pink-wearing king who co-ordinated down to a hat- the only person who can get away with a fedora, except, like, Perry the Platypus.
Nonbinary Characters - Frankie Stein, Monster High. The new version of Frankie now uses they/them pronouns! Their presentation in the new movie seems to go between feminine and androgynous, and their style is like school uniform punk- related, I think Frankie would totally have the Vivienne Westwood pin.
-Aziraphale and Crowley, Good Omens. In the Good Omens 'verse, angels and demons don't actually have gender, and Aziraphale and Crowley's looks are jut personal to them. Aziraphale has a flamboyant, cream-toned masculine vibe, while Crowley's dark wardrobe changes gender presentation with him. They embody the abolish gender vs make more dynamic.
- Cal, Sex Education. I'm totally late to the Sex Education party, so I don't know much about them, but it is so exciting to see what looks like good rep in a high school setting, because I wish I'd had more of that when I was in school!
Fashion and Presensation
So, the classic PA sillhouette is, of course, the shirt under a jumper, a pink plaid skirt, tights or stockings, pink high heels, and decorate with pearls. Let's see what we can do to make this less stereotypically feminine.
- Plaid trousers/pants exist and are wonderful. An easy find is always a plaid or similar-patterned paperbag trousers- which I think can be used to alter your shape at the hips, if you want to do that. - Longer or more kilt-style skirts tend to have a more gender-neutral or masculine association compared to their shorter counterparts. - Secret trousers!! These are my favourite thing- a pair of trousers/pants that look like a skirt when standing still feels like the best of both worlds to me. -As mentionned with Spinelli, an oversized t-shirt or shirt worn like a dress can create a shapeless, androgynous sillhouette if so disired, or be cynched in with a belt to add another dimension to an outfit.
I hope this has given you some inspiration to work with, and if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know!

vi. family & personal history
Born the only child to Sybil Walcott, a witch from the Weirwood Coven, made him the grandson of Eudora Walcott, the coven matriarch, a powerful witch and a well-respected figure in Weirwood Hollow, a small town in Vermont that sprung up in semi-secret after the famous witch hunts of the 17th century. Conway, through his mother's line, is a descendant of Mary Walcott, a survivor of the Salem witch trials, and through his father, Jeremiah Goode, is also descended from witch hunters. His parents, with their union, put their family's bloody feud behind them, and Conway was the result of that union.
Conway was raised around witches his whole life, and they loved him dearly despite his status as witch-born. He showed no magical ability beyond what humans were capable of, but his dormant witch-blood was still valued by other supernatural, and his family's status provided him with respect and protection within Weirwood Hollow. He is well versed in witch traditions, customs and festivities. His parents tragically died in a car accident out of state when Conway was five, so he was raised by his grandmother and their coven.
He has lived in Weirwood Hollow his whole life, and although he dreams of travelling to Europe, he sees this place as his home. He learned and loved baking from a young age, and is now the co-owner and head baker of his own bakery and tea shop. He also took over his family's famous apothecary, as his grandmother became too old to run it and too proud to sell it away. However, due to having little magical ability or talent, he is only able to prepare and sell ingredients and basic, non-magical tinctures and potions, reducing its status to grade four and allowing other apothecaries to pop up in Weirwood Hollow.

One of my favourite things is finding out the stories and evolution behind songs that go through different iterations.
Case in point for today, I was listening to a version of “Just a Gigolo | I ain’t got nobody” by chilean jazz band “Ángel Parra Trío” with my mom. Now, my mom loves the David Lee Roth version of the same song, which is probably the more well known one (also, fun fact, this is one of my go-to karaoke songs)
youtube
Thing is, I knew that both versions are covers of the song popularized by Louis Prima in the 50′s. But here’s the thing, I thought that that version was the original one; but what I found today was that actually, the original song its an austrian tango from 1928 called “Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo“, with lyrics written by Julius Brammer in 1924, and music by Leonello Casucci. Here’s a modern rendition of the original song, by german jazz act Max Raabe and the Palast Orchestra:
youtube
The other thing is that, I think the song its pretty self explanatory in it’s lyrics regarding the loneliness and nostalgia experienced by a male gigolo. But what I had no idea was that the original song had a political background and another meaning, since the song had a spoken part before the music comes in, where it chronicles the story of an austrian veteran from WW1 that, unable to find a job in post-war Vienna, has to get by working as a hired dancer (there was a thing in the 20′s-30′s called “taxi dancers” that were basically paid dancing companions that charged per song and often faced social discrimination, in many instances due to the fact that there were many establishments were taxi dancers were a cover for sex work). 
Now, this particular historical context got lost because, when the song was translated to english by lyricist Irving Caesar after it’s rights were bought by record company Chappel & Co. (that nowadays belongs to Universal), they got rid of the first spoken verses that provided the context and located the song in 1920′s Vienna. Though I do have to say that Bing Crosby’s version from 1931 retained the spoken part that provided context, but it changed it from a postwar tale told in Vienna, to now being a tale told to an USamerican in a cafe in Paris by the titular gigolo).
The other fun thing I discovered was that the modern version, the one that was popularized by Louis Prima, its actually a medley of two songs, “Just a Gigolo” and “I Ain’t Got Nobody”. Most people (myself included before today) thought that it was one song, but it turned out that Prima’s version from 1956 combines both songs, with the second one, “I Ain’t Got Nobody” being an even older song. Even though the copyright was registered in 1914, it’s one of those cases where many people claimed to be the creators: the 1914 copyright (under the title “I Ain’t Got Nobody that Cares About Me”) names Charles Warfield as composer, David Young as the lyricist and Marie Lucas as the arranger, and Warfield also had claimed to have composed it before 1914; but there’s also another copyright from 1916, under the title “I Ain’t Got Nobody” that atributes the song to Spencer Williams, Davy Peyton and Roger Graham. There’s also two copyright fillings made in 1911, under the title “I Ain’t Got Nobody” by musicians Clarence E. Brandon Sr. and Billy Smythe.
Last thing I have to add is that, as expected from such old songs, there’s a ton of versions in many different languages: there are covers by Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt, Thelonius Monk, Connie Francis, Marlene Dietrich (which was used in the 1978 film “Just a Gigolo” that adapted the original tale of the song -but moved the action from Vienna to Berlin- and had David Bowie as the titular gigolo), just to name a few. But my favourite discovery was the fact that there’s a Village People version, which its not only fun, but it features the band in winter versions of their signature outfits in the video:

SYNOPSIS
Growing up on a farm wasn’t easy for a spoiled rotten Constance. Heiress to a small fortune within her town, Constance expected everything handed to her on a silver platter without a fuss. When she didn’t get her way though, which came more often than not, Constance became bratty and devilish and it continued until she bloomed into a beautiful young woman. Her beauty and charming personality caught the eyes of many, but none more-so than Ambrose Harper, the son of a successful farmer. The two fell madly in love, and were soon married. The honeymoon stage seemed to last a long time for the two lovebirds. always found with their arms linked and whispering sweet nothings to each other, it seemed like a match made in heaven. But what the public, and Ambrose, didn’t see was the constant internal struggle Constance went through. Her lust for money was turning out to be far greater than her love for the sweet and innocent Ambrose. He couldn’t keep up with his bride’s expensive tastes, and it slowly began to take a toll on their relationship. Constance’s greed became too great one evening, and so were the slashes in poor Ambrose’ neck. He was nearly decapitated in the bed he shared with his bride. When word got out, no one ever suspected Constance to be the killer. How could they? The couple was so in love; everyone saw it. just as they saw her grieving hysterically and shaking violently from the murderous act. Unfortunately, “the killer’’ was never found, but Constance was now heiress of her late husband’s small fortune. and well, things just took off from there… Two years later, she was married again. And then another three times after that. All of them ended tragically. Each husband had been decapitated, and “poor Constance” was ever the most grieving of widows. She was known in town as “the cursed bride” or “the black widow bride” – for she was always dressed in black, in mourning for her late husbands. Death seemed to follow her everywhere. And now, having acquired all the fortune she could want and never getting caught for her evil acts, she lives comfortably within the mansion she inherited from her latest victim husband. But do beware of her. one never knows when she’ll break out the hatchet again for her next killing…
VERSES
In sickness and in…wealth (aged 27 ; FC - Florence Pugh):
Constance is newly widowed after her fifth husband’s tragic death and living quite comfortably in her mansion. she parades around town dressed in black, in mourning naturally, but she isn’t one to shy away from throwing parties at her manor. after all, one can’t live a grim life forever…
Till death do us part (deceased, but looks 27 ; FC - Florence Pugh):
Though Constance has since passed on after many years of living, she still remains at the mansion. Constance haunts the many halls and rooms, dressed in a bridal gown and carrying around a hatchet, searching for her next victim who walks through the mansion’s doors. this can take place at any point starting from the 1920s and on.
Hurry back… (aged 30 ; modern/main ; FC - Florence Pugh):
Modern verse. Connie Barnes has given up her life on a ranch and just moved to the Hudson River Valley after learning she has inherited an old mansion passed down to her through her grandmother, a distant relation of George Hightower, who once owned the mansion and died tragically not too long after marrying. Connie tries to settle into the large and empty home, but every so often, the home doesn’t feel so…empty…and Connie suspects someone’s watching her every move.

So we've discussed a few disastrous love interests of Bess between Oliver and Wolf. Do you have any hcs of Connie in the dating realm between Orin and Adonis?
Oooh interesting question!
So, in her og historic (“Begin Again”)-verse (the lore keeps building and it’s so amazing), there isn’t a lot of wiggle room for Connie because of societal expectations. She’s single until she meets Orin, they court, they marry. She leaves him, arrives in London, meets Scrooge, they court, they marry.
Canonically, in any universe, Connie’s first kiss is literally when she and a classmate (Cecile) sneak out of class to smooch, but that’s extremely tame.
In the modern universe, there is more time between the relationships. So, more wiggle room, although nothing ever happens because she is sincerely so traumatized by Orin that she refuses practically all advances.
When working at the nightclub and coffee house, she does get a lot of date requests. I mean…we know she can’t make coffee to save her life. They keep her on because she’s incredibly attractive and pulls customers every time she’s on shift. She gets MANY date requests from everyone. Con is bi, so when a woman asks her out, she mulls over it, thinking…it might be different. (I imagine the woman is also older, and named Flora, who asks her out. Sophisticated. Works in marketing somewhere. She seems wonderful) but Connie still declines. She just isn’t ready, and Flora respects and encourages that. “Thank you for being honest, love. I hope I can still come to chat, and it won’t trouble you.” “Of course. 🥹 I make your lavender latte and get to hear about your cats even Monday and Wednesday! I wouldn’t miss it!”
A nice young man asks her out as well. Steven, a bookish blond man with huge glasses who is her age, asks her out. He’s exceptionally cute, so they have a small coffee date together, and both quickly realize they just don’t have anything in common. She’s into business and fashion and numbers, and he’s into model trains and building preservation. They part ways amicably, though the honestly makes them very good friends. He doesn’t stammer around her as much, and when he starts dating someone new, Connie is the first the meet them.
Jason, the shitty coffee shop boy, also gives it a go. And by “give it a go”, I mean he moves behind her, and she clobbers him with a baking sheet out of surprise. (“Jason! Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! But…DON’T DO THAT!”)
At the nightclub, most just people stare, smile and tip her. There is always the occasional ass that tries to grab her for a lap dance (she is a “look pretty and serve drinks” employee, not a dancer) and this always gets a slap and a glare. She can hold her own against those types. It’s when it goes beyond into anything verbal that she starts to lose the fight in her.
Casper, a recent business transfer from Jamaica, is a frequent nightclub client…and one of the nicest guys. A real nice guy. “I’m scoping the scene here because the boss wants to build a nightclub at our newest London location. Yeah, we’re NOT gonna do it like this place. If you don’t feel safe, hang near me. The boss can’t get mad. You’re ’entertaining a paying customer’. Now, I see you’re wearing a charm bracelet. It’s a Cartier, no? You have exceptional taste. Sit with me. Let’s talk style.”
They never become romantically involved, but she respects him deeply. They absolutely stay good friends.
She stays friends with Flora, Steven and Casper, but Steven is probably the closest she gets to any relationship before Adonis.
