brief summary

Full info page can be found HERE.

Isabella is a woman who has never really had any agency over herself or her life.  At nineteen, her parents forced her into a loveless marriage with Viscount Richard Ashworth (a man twenty years her senior).  Throughout her marriage, she spiraled into a deep despair, mercifully cut short by the viscount’s death three years later.  Isabella inherited all of his wealth, finally allowing her the opportunity to do as she pleased.  

Unfortunately, her freedom was not to be enjoyed without difficulty.  Shortly thereafter, a rumor was passed around the ton that she had been the direct cause of her husband’s sudden death, perpetuated by Miss Harriet Woodley.  Miss Woodley, angry that the viscount had chosen to marry Isabella over her, sought to destroy the new widow’s reputation.  Isabella is aware of the whispers about her, but she rarely acknowledges it, and few people are courageous enough to bring it up to her themselves.

current objectives

Isabella’s main priority has always been the welfare of her two younger sisters, Georgiana and Mary Stanton.  Knowing how she was treated by their parents growing up, she hopes to prevent the same from happening to her sisters.  With Isabella refusing to give even a cent of her newly acquired wealth to her parents, she knows it’s only a matter of time before they try to pawn either Georgiana or Mary off on another rich man, whether the girls are willing or not.

potential grounds for interaction

Women’s Rights.   Isabella is very active in the women’s rights movement brewing throughout England.  She finds society’s treatment of women abhorrent, and is fairly outspoken about it, even outside of those backing her cause.  She’ll attend meetings, engage in discussions, etc. and typically enjoys a good debate.

Battling Her Reputation.   Because of the claims made by Harriet Woodley (and made seemingly more credible by Isabella’s lack of grief and shortened mourning period in the wake of her husband’s death), it’s not unusual for the ton to whisper about her behind their hands, debating the methods in which she dispatched the poor viscount.  This hit to her reputation can affect many of her interactions with the people around her, and may be a good starting point for conversation/conflict.

Protective Older Sister.   As mentioned previously, Isabella’s main goal is preventing her sisters from enduring what she has experienced over the years.  She is completely estranged from her parents, meaning that she has no hopes of talking sense into them.  She also discovers that they are doing everything in their power to keep Georgiana and Mary from interacting with their sister, citing her tarnished reputation as the reason.  Though she hates public events, she often attends them (she continues to receive invites because extreme wealth makes others fickle) in an attempt to keep an eye on her parents and circumvent any attempts at matchmaking for her sisters.

Finally Free.  Because Isabella is often straddling the line between being accepted by the ton and being ostracized, she's more willing to throw caution to the wind when it comes to acquaintances that may seem improper by society’s standards.  This could include anything from tradesmen and servants to ‘fallen women’ and disgraced society.  If she’s going to face the effects of rumors on her reputation, she may as well get all she can out of it.

Anti-Marriage.  As a girl, Isabella always viewed marriage as something of a fairytale.  When she married Lord Ashworth, that notion was decimated.  Though she rarely talks about the details of her marriage to Ashworth, it’s safe to assume that he was often unkind to her.  More than that, she had hoped that marrying might someday give her a bit of liberation from the control she’d dealt with at her parents’ hands;  instead, the control was merely shifted to her husband.  Now, as a widow, Isabella’s views of marriage are distinctly negative.  She has no intentions of marrying again, although it would be interesting to see whether that changes if love ever comes around.

#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have! #I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play. #I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks. #Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere. #Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios. #The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*. #This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those. #Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human. #Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her. #She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist. #The damsel was the dragon all along! #...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”

Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”

#EVEN BETTER if Mr D tries to keep his cover by actually treating him like a son #Clarisse doesn’t mess with him cuz after the toilet fiasco Mr D is like “I will feed you to my cult young lady!! good job Peter :) #Percy is like “hey dad why can I control water “and Mr D is like …ever heard of that guy that turned it to wine?? #Mr D: PLEASE just help me I can’t keep it a secret for much longer Mr. Brunner: you told him his brother was JESUS??? #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson the lightning thief #dionysus #Mr D

tw: Examples of reblog bait/people trying to guilt others into reblogging stuff. I am not actually saying the things below, they're just examples that I have seen.

I fucking hate when people say stuff like this. Especially when it's on a generally good post with valuable information. On the one hand I want to share that information because it could genuinely help someone; on the other, I don't want to spread this type of guilt-tripping and shaming and potentially trigger someone else like me. It's a lose-lose situation. No matter what I do, I am going to feel guilty. No matter what I do, I will feel like a terrible person. It sucks and I just wish people would stop doing this. I know it's shocking, but it is actually possible to make an important and useful post without guilting everyone that sees it into sharing.

#in general i just don't reblog anything that tries to guilt me into reblogging it #there have been so many times where i consider reblogging something and then see people saying the stuff above #and i automatically move along because i can't handle interacting with that sort of thing #moral ocd #serious #my thoughts

no fucking way

#sketches #comics #the far side #crocodiles #my art #i don’t know how to tag this. #also i should probably say. i tried to look into it further and i haven't seen hard hard evidence that they do this on purpose #personifying animals is tempting but ultimately i think it's just hot speculation atm. crocodilians are famously tough to research too #like the advantages may be a coincidence or just pure curiosity/play. which is also really cute...love those guys #sorry for the misinformation! light theory only afaik #comic

every so often i just think about how good it was that the most foolproof one-size-fits-all solution for dealing with basically any horrifyingly evil supernatural monster of the week in the magnus archives was just. burying them in concrete. like yeah i can believe that a few tons of grey brutalist slop would stop the wolfman or pretty much anything in its tracks to be honest. they use that shit on nuclear waste. do you honestly think you're stronger than a nuke? a fucking nuke?

#🐉 #they should have tried it on elias. not because i think it would have worked im sure hed have seen it coming #but just to see his reaction. #tma

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned. Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner. 11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi! Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--? Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?

Batman: This is Robin. 12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!! Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What?? Jason: I stole his tires :) Batman: Tried to. Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did. Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??

Batman: This is Robin. 14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello Flash: Where do you even find these-- Tim: I found myself.

Batman: This is Robin. 17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!! Superman: I give up. Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.

Batman: This is Robin. 13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there: Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?! Batman: ... he came with the sword.

#batman #batfam #tim drake #jason todd #dick grayson #damian wayne #stephanie brown #dc comics #icb i posted this w/o tags the first time #what is wrong w me #superman: where do you find these kids #bruce: they just show up tbh #especially tim. he LITERALLY just showed up #anyone: so which one is really robin? #bruce: they are all really robin. #bruce: dick wanted to kill a man. #jason tried hijacking my tires in CRIME ALLEY. #tim just appeared and made himself robin that was NOT me #stephanie also wanted to kill a man. #damian did kill a man. or two. #YOU try to parent these kids then come back to me clark
