"You make me do too much labor

All day, every day

Therapist, mother, maid

Nymph then a virgin, nurse than a servant

Just an appendage, live to attend him

So that he never lifts a finger"

OC NEW YEARS CHALLENGE 2023-2024. day three- december 28th. IN MY _ ERA.

My OC's as Taylor Swift ERAs. ft Charlotte, Lydia, Amelia, Rain, Hazel, Viviana, Hope, Ronan, Freya & Aurora

Yes, Ali said it wasn't T Swift themed but...I thought this was cute.

On the third day, let’s reflect on the defining periods that have shaped either us or our original characters. Despite the initial impression, and my well-known obsession, this is inspired by The Eras Tour but doesn’t have anything to do with her. We delve into the various eras within our OCs’ lives, whether categorised by tv show season, movie, age, or any other criteria you can think of. Alternatively, share insights about the current era you’re in as a creator, like “in my hunger games oc era” or “in my gifset era”.

𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗢 𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗧 𝗕𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗦

Now, because I’ve kept forgetting to make this post after I posted about by Narnia babies (and because I said I was going to make it yesterday in order to piss off our new little basically-anon friend and I am nothing if not committed to spiting assholes), I present to you all my three new Ted Lasso OCs who will be joining my boy Will Welton! Unlike Will, these three lovelies are part of an entirely different fic (if I ever actually write it, that is), and this is the first time I’ve had more than one OC in the same story, so I’m really excited to share them with you guys!! Their official intro posts might not be up for a little bit, but feel free to ask me questions about them!!

MELLY LOVELACE:

— Sam ship.

— The name on her birth certificate is Amelia Euphemia, but no one but her mother is allowed to call her that and anyone else will get a good sock in the teeth if they try it.

— Member of a girl group called Electra Hearts, along with her roommates and besties Ji and Day (the other OC babies). They’re a group that sings covers, usually taking gigs at dingy pubs and clubs when they can get them, and taking a bunch of little part-time jobs to cover the rest of their bills.

— Childhood friends and sweethearts with Jamie, but he dumped her once he started getting big as a football player (mainly because his father got in his head about Melly “distracting” him from making it big, but she doesn’t know that until way later). She never quite got over being dumped like that, because she really loved him, and she’s certainly pretty angry at even the thought of Jamie for a while.

— The girls all move to Richmond when Ji gets a job as the team’s new official photographer, and as such Melly is forced to see Jamie again after years of refusing to watch or interact with the sport of football at all. Over time, as all three girls start to become fixtures at Richmond and close with the team, she and Jamie do start to become friends again, but they’re definitely a lot more snappy and bickering with each other than they ever were before (and Melly becomes wildly overprotective for a little bit when she realizes Ji and Jamie are interested in each other).

— Have you guys ever seen that one quote that’s like “before I am a woman I am a menace to society”? That’s basically Melly in a nutshell.

— She’s feral. She advocates violence as a first response. She carries a pocket knife with her at all times. She once ate an entire banana peal on a dare (from Jamie, of course). She’s a complete bisexual mess and I love her.

— She and Sam are also super incredibly cute together! They’re very black cat x golden retriever and the entire team ships them (including Ted and Beard, of course, because we all know they are the captains of any and all relevant ships going on in the club).

JIANG “JI” LIN:

— Jamie ship.

— The bestest little non-binary sweetheart.

— Member of Electra Hearts along with Melly and Day, but mostly takes photography jobs outside of band gigs rather than waitressing or barmaid jobs like their friends.

— During her revamp of the club after taking over from Rupert, Rebecca sees Ji’s photography site and notices how all their reviews praise their work but acknowledge that they’re very nervous around new people. She hires them as the new official club photographer as another part of her plan to take down Richmond, figuring that putting such a nervous person around a bunch of rowdy athletes will either negatively affect their work or cause them to quit and create a story about how Richmond drove away a talented photographer.

— However, she fails to realize that Ji is a lot braver when their friends are around and once they get to know people, and by the time Rebecca’s scheme starts to fall apart they’re a genuine member of the Richmond family and a sibling/child figure to everyone in the club. (Including Rebecca herself, once she apologizes for hiring Ji for selfish reasons and is forgiven and they actually start getting to know each other.)

— Ji is an absolute sweetheart once they’re comfortable around people, always willing to listen and try to help when someone is struggling and fiercely loyal to the people they care about. Melly and Day like to teasingly call them “sunshine,” and some of the Richmond players refer to them as Ted’s mini-me (said with love, of course).

— They fully expect to hate Jamie as much as Melly seems to when they first start working with Richmond, and they definitely don’t exactly like him at first, but they also see pretty quickly how much hurt and insecurity he’s actually hiding behind his cocky demeanor, and they make it clear that he’s free to talk to them at any point if he needs to, which turns out to be just what he needs, and the more time they spend together the more they seem to fall for each other.

— Ji feels terrible about it at first, having feelings for their friend’s ex, but after Melly goes through a brief overprotective freaking out phase upon realizing that they like each other, she doesn’t hesitate to give them both her blessing, and they actually become a very cute couple!

— Ji might be a sweetheart, but they also don’t put up with Jamie’s shit and encourage him to become a better person, and in that sense they’re really perfect for each other.

DAISY “DAY” HARVINGTON:

— Poly Roy and Keeley ship.

— Third and oldest member of Electra Hearts, but she’s not that much older than Melly and Ji (they all met at uni when Day was in her third year and the other two were freshmen).

— Generally the one in charge of booking gigs for the group, and the informal “leader” of the trio.

— Not exactly the most responsible of them, though; she’s had a lot of issues in her life and had various shitty boyfriends and girlfriends, so she kind of struggles to trust anyone who isn’t Ji or Melly. (She’s not exactly rude or standoffish, but she generally tries to avoid talking about herself or being alone with anyone who isn’t her friends.)

— She actually does form a bond pretty quickly with Keeley, though, mainly because Keeley thinks she’s very cute and interesting and refuses to let Day keep her at a distance.

— Takes a job as a bartender at May’s pub when Electra Hearts moves to Richmond, and May basically adopts her as a daughter since she doesn’t have a good relationship with her biological family.

— At first she and Roy are sort of just like two black cats chilling together, spending most of their time just sitting in silence doing separate things and counting that as hanging out, but when he starts dating Keeley and Day spends more time as him as a result they actually get close.

— And at some point Day realizes she has feelings for both of them, which terrifies her and makes her withdraw from everyone a little, but eventually Melly and Ji scheme to get her to talk to Roy and Keeley and she learns that they both have feelings for her too.

— They still don’t get together immediately after that, partially due to Day’s relationship trauma and partially because none of them have ever been in a poly relationship before and they’ll need to learn to navigate that dynamic, but once they do they are all a completely adorable throuple that everyone ships! (Other than some nosy sports journalists - NOT TRENT - who Roy has to punch for insulting his girlfriends.)

— Also obviously Roy and Keeley don’t break up in this story, and they and Day live happily ever after! (Literally everyone does in my story, of course, but them especially.)

Alright, that’s it for info about these beauties for now!! Again, it might take me a while to make some official intro posts for them, but if anyone has any questions feel free to send them in!!

(Tagging @auxiliarydetective because she is also a fan of Will, @themaybewoman because they’ve interacted with Will content before so maybe they might like these babes, @purpleyearning because they did ask a looooonnnnggg time ago for me to tag them if I ever made a poly Roy and Keeley OC, and @eddiemunscns because she did say she’d be down to talk Ted Lasso OCs!! <3)

Hello one and all and welcome to the The Duchess Affair name post. This is a list of period-accurate given names you can give your MC if you need some inspiration or want to know what kinds of names ladies had back then. I've combed through the 1809 edition of Debrett's Peerage for names of noblewomen in the 1600s and 1700s in Britain, which is where I'm taking the liberty of assuming TDA is set.

As always, you can drop any questions in my inbox, I love love love playing reference librarian :-)

Most names in this period either came from the Bible or from literature. The Bible was the most common book owned and read, so Biblical names were frequently seen. Some nobles liked to show off how cultured and educated they were by naming their children after mythological figures or characters from poetry and history, but most people of all classes named children after ancestors or loved ones (which explains why it seems like it was the same dozen names getting passed around again and again.)

Very common names -- the majority of women back then had one of these names:

Anne

Caroline

Catharine (not a typo – this was the standard spelling in the 1700s!)

Charlotte

Diana

A McDonald's Meme animatic featuring our beloved creepypasta doctors. Amelia Lovelace (OC), Dr. Smiley, EJ, and the Good Doctor Locklear. Yes. They did this frequently. Much to Locklears dismay

Yes. Locklear was the only one who had a car and could drive amongst them.

Yes. He'd do it again in a heartbeat,

Yes. He still does it. Art and wording were done by @xxxamerican-psychoxxx, and the editing and voiceover were done by me. The creepypasta characters belong to their rightful owners. Locklear belongs to our lovely madame Macabre.

About Barbara:

Barbara was five years old when her father died in a car crash. She remembers him best out of the sisters and misses him greatly. Despite the tragic loss, Barbs considers her childhood relatively happy, helping her mum at the shop and with her sisters. She has a generally positive outlook on life, though she feels responsible for her family, and it weighs on her. She rarely talks about it though, keeping it to herself. As the only witch of the family, her sisters are often jealous of her, though their mother is of the mind that there is more than one kind of magic out there.

At Hogwarts Barbara is sorted in Hufflepuff, which suits her, as she is fiercely loyal to the people she cares about. She likes Divination, Astronomy, and Charms, though she keeps practicing her mother’s craft even at school. To some of the pureblood students, her so-called Muggle-Magic is laughable, though Barbara doesn’t really care what they think of her.

Post-Hogwarts:

does anybody else assign beverages to characters? hear me out

juno steel is a stiff old fashioned. nureyev is butterfly pea flower tea. rita is chocolate milk with a bendy straw. buddy is a cosmo and vespa is vodka shots. doug eiffel is fresh hotel coffee. renee minkowski is earl grey. isabel lovelace is spiced rum. hera is a shirley temple, but specifically made with mcdonalds sprite. tim stoker is a long island iced tea with a fun umbrella in it. sasha james is hot chocolate. martin k blackwood is a warm chai. jonathan sims is lukewarm matcha. nikola orsinov is apple juice concentrate. cel sidebottom is one of those experimental shots that are two liquids that should never be put next to each other but taste somehow like a thin mint cookie or something. benoit blanc is southern sun tea. scott pilgrim is light blue gatorade. deacon frost is unexpectedly good target red wine, mercury is vintage red from an honest to god stone cellar. the interviewer from the amelia podcast is, of course, hot cocoa. koslowski is cold water straight from the edge of a waterfall at sunrise.

#this is not supposed to make sense to anyone #myself included #acer rambles #i dont actually consume alcohol but i have almost bartender level knowledge about it because i may or may not have hyperfixated on mixology #please reply to this with your blorbos and their beverage #i will elaborate if asked #ten bucks says scotty is gonna find this and call me some flavor of neurodivergent

2023 Sexiest Fictional Podcast Character Statistics Part II

(Image description: A series of nine line graphs showing the total, average, minimum, and maximum number of votes, both in total and separated by bracket, over eight rounds.)

On the whole, the Unscripted Bracket received the most votes in a round while the Night Vale Bracket received the least. A lot, although not all of it, is due to Glenn Close (starting in Round 2). In general, although certainly not every time, matches that were within a fandom received less votes than cross-fandom matches. Besides the entirety of the Night Vale Bracket (which starting in Round 3 had as many polls per round as the Scripted and Unscripted brackets combined and yet received less votes than those brackets did individually, as seen in Graph 1) this can also be seen in the Round 6 dip, which was Wolf 359 vs Wolf 359 and Dungeons & Daddies vs Dungeons & Daddies + Campaign.

Besides the two cross-bracket polls, the Unscripted Bracket Round 4 was especially active, as can be seen in Graphs 1 and 2. At an average of 2,181 votes per poll, this is the was the most active Bracket/Round combo (aside from the champion vs champion polls). Overall, the tournament had an average of 856 votes per poll (not including the preliminaries). The Scripted Bracket never had a poll break 2,000 votes.

Polls with the Most Votes:

Round 8 — Carlos the Scientist vs Glenn Close — 14,319 votes

Round 7 — Glenn Close vs Isabel Lovelace — 10,537 votes

Round 2 — Glenn Close vs Pickman — 3,408 votes

Round 4 — Glenn Close vs Lup — 3,176 votes

Round 4 — Amber Gris vs Moonshine Cybin — 2,381 votes

Round 5 — Glenn Close vs Amber Gris & Moonshine Cybin — 2,381 votes (thanks to @iersei for catching this)

Round 1 — Sans Undertale vs M. Leopold Duvall — 2,227 votes

Round 3 — Glenn Close vs Taako — 2,173 votes

Polls with the Least Votes:

Round 1 — Lucifer Kane vs Gin (Story Break: Heaven Heist) — 186 votes

Round 3 — Amelia Anna Alfaro vs City Council — 190 votes
