trigger warnings for: parental death, death by childbirth, gambling addiction.

the former baron and baroness dormer were once forces to be reckoned in, in the public eye. the first of his line to attend the house of the lords, and the minor cousin of a gentry family who became the diamond of her season, joseph and amelia were both gregarious and expansive, and their match was an envious one, both for their matching of wits and of the matters of the heart — they were desperately in love, and one accommodated and partnered the other: amelia aided him in relations outside of the parliament while commanding their household, and he rejoiced in oratory, as well as giving her every opportunity to shine on society. 

her last labor came as a surprise — it was by the end of the season, and despite being heavily pregnant, amelia would not waste precious time, but the babe came too early. the birth was a mess, and though the child would come out hearty and loud, lady amelia would remain quiet and pale for the rest of the week. joseph fell in denial, believing his wife could somehow recover, but by the end of the week, amelia had made her peace with dreaded death, ordering her husband to care for their children and their life together, and naming their only daughter augusta, after a princess the lady had once much admired.

it was the least to say joseph did not entirely abide to his wife's plans. though there were some self - insistence, at least at first, not to forgo his family — particularly, augusta never believed her father wished her harm or believed her some evil that took away his beloved wife, nor did he ever remarry, when he as well could have had — his social excellence seemed to have been tightly connected to amelia, and, without her to guide him, the baron soon turned to vices. it was a method of relief: long nights with drinks over games of cards, locked in rooms with his friends from the parliament, but once friendly games became a constant monthly debit — for joseph's luck had run out, it seemed — it was felt. tongues began to wag, a rumor here and there about how often joseph was politely escorted away or denied from gambling tables, or how much he lingered at the tracks, and at boxing rings; when the london house was "closed off", "lended" to a "friend of the family" for the season, all that was said was that the family needed the fresh airs of buckinghamshire, away from the memories of lady amelia and her immense joy.

for augusta, however, those memories were important. without the guidance of her mother, she relied on her ghost, on the many portraits, on words of her brothers and father and every one who had once felt the glimmer of lady amelia. though in distance, augusta wished to emulate her mother: her beauty, her elegance, her charisma. like a silly girl, she would play with her clothes in front of the mirror, reigning over a society of dolls. her innocence was often interrupted, however, for her father's sake. there were costs to be cut, no matter how much she begged for a gown of the finest silk or for a new hat. at some point, her brother, impatience with the burden of the keeping of the house and of the family name due to their father's negligence, went on to show her the disorganization of the books, and the lack thereof of funds to spend in more frivolities than necessary for appearance's sake.

already better at card games than her father at the cusp of teenagehood, she tried to learn accounting. her odds were improved when she realized she took to numbers better than her peers; she was too young to handle the household finances, but alongside the governess, augusta sought to familiarize herself with the matters of keeping the household, taking a load off her brother's back. by the time she was of age, she controlled the ascott house herself, gladly so, and was more than eager to debut and return to society. london was a dream come true, but not only its societal aspect. augusta realized, along with her siblings, that there were gains to be had, less explored by those of higher society — and how foolish they were, not to see the opportunity spark!

tragedy struck merciless when the new baroness dormer, too, found her demise in the birthing bed. repeating his father's tale, baron dormer returned to ascott house to find relief in the fresh air, and though augusta more or less willingly accompanied him, instead of wallowing in purposeless misery, the family found gold on the purchase of a less than savory establishment, the white rabbit. theirs in all but in name, the dormer siblings are partners, and, of course, that includes augusta, who takes care of the books of the place meticulously, always seeking for an opportunity to improve their gains, as hands on as she can possibly be under the cloak of distance. naturally, the recent misfortune situation at the white rabbit much displeases her, but she is nothing if not positive this will be but a forgotten misdemeanor in no time, and the white rabbit — and their fortunes — shall continue to rise.

[    personality ]     ⸻ 

grasping, opportunistic, materialistic, quick witted and dissimulated on the inside, on the outside, augusta is the typically accomplished gentlewoman, with practiced tunes in the pianoforte, polished steps of the cotillion and memorized pleasantries spoken with a honeyed tongue, paired with big eyes gleaming with mirth and faux innocence. she relies on keeping a clean image, and has no qualms to lie, fake, buy and manipulate her way into forcing the belief that her family’s reputation is unfounded ( #girlboss #gaslight #gatekeep, so true of her ). though she is contented with their entrepreneuring agenda — finding that running successful businesses built by them and not simply inherited all ready as many aristocrats do is very fulfilling, especially as a woman that would not have a place otherwise — she is eager for a spot in society as well, wishing she could shine as much as her mother once had.

 [    tidbids ]     ⸻

is mildly (quite) scared of horses due to an incident on the track as a child, and never learned how to horse ride.

 [    wanted connections ]     ⸻

the dormer family! they are deliciously cunning, but also very tight - or, at the very least, augusta believes herself able to manage both men and bring them together to uphold the family legacy as a whole, not just individuals. for the elder, i generally imagine that he has taken their father's failures and followed a path of improvement, and the younger, he may have been in the army or something? both of them have had a hand on bringing her up as a person, despite the not so big age difference between them all.

the white rabbit employees as a whole, but particularly, the madame, whom would be aware of the family's involvement with the estabilishment and augusta's, and fighter one, employed under the dormer state and whom i imagine to have a secret relationship of the romantic and/or sexual nature with augusta; it's not entirely pleasant, because she isn't, but there is a bit too much affection in there to loose the attachment ( slutty rec would be jack o'connell :cattongue: ).

friends, new or old! this also includes people who could have tried to pull away or have succeeded at that, believing the dormers to be too shady / improper, or people who don't believe the rumors ( augusta is certainly lying her ass off about it, so )

people who have hostile feelings towards the dormers for their alleged shady behaviors, and may try to keep them out of society somehow, which frustrates augusta as she longs to be a functioning part of it all. they could either believe being able to see past the airy nature she keeps and believe her a wolf just as her brothers, or not notice her dissimulation

regulars at the white rabbit, whom augusta would know either by official bookkeeping, or by gossip. she may use the knowledge of their enjoyment of the estabilishment to blackmail or simply to amuse herself. alternatively, people who owe debts to the dormers, or to the white rabbit, would also fall on this category

crushes, exes, etc! augusta may have a constant interest in the fighter, but she has a hidden romantic nature that has her fixating on pretty people as well as pretty things, and she just may be genuinely sweeter to those who hold either such exterior beauty or objects of luxury ( obviously open to women, men, etc, with a bit of a preference towards women )

suitor (s). augusta is not in a rush to marry, but if she is to do so, she would like it to be of high position and of good finantial situation; either way, feelings are not at all involved, nor does she want them to be.

(  jessica  alexander  ,  twenty  ,  cis  woman  ,  she  /  her  )  hey  ,  is  that  EMMA  VANITY  wandering  the  halls  without  a  companion  ?  the  SIXTH  YEAR  is  getting  bold  .  and  here  i  thought  the  SLYTHERIN  was  always  more  perceptive  ,  self-reliant  &  confident  .  but  then  they  are  also  known  to  be  impatient  ,  competitive  &  avaricious  ,  so  maybe  that  makes  sense  .  these  hard  times  are  enough  to  change  anybody  ,  i  suppose  .  and  did  you  hear  people  are  saying  they’re  in  THE  KNIGHTS  ?  rumors  fly  when  people  are  cooped  up  .  here  ,  i’ll  show  you  —  EMMA  always  reminded  me  of  tequila  shots  served  with  a  slice  of  limelight  ;  wiping  blood  and  lip  gloss  from  your  mouth  ;  dark  ice  across  a  frozen  forest  lake  concealing  freezing  depths  beneath  ;  expensive  perfume  mingling  with  the  scent  of  phosphorus  ;  the  first  drop  of  blood  in  the  water  before  the  feeding  frenzy  begins  ;  wearing  back-breaking  heels  just  to  hear  them  click  against  stone  as  you  walk  ;  perfectly  manicured  nails  pulling  at  loose  threads  until  all  that’s  left  is  a  tangle  of  frayed  strands  .  and  i’ve  heard  SHE  FED  THE  CAT  OF  THE  LAST  PERSON  WHO  HIT  HER  WITH  A  BLUDGER  TO  THE  GIANT  SQUID  .  let’s  hope  the  PUREBLOOD  doesn’t  get  attacked  by  the  beast  .  or  let’s  at  least  hope  that  rumor  doesn’t  get  back  to  them  before  they  do  .

character  parallels  :  cordelia  chase  (  buffy  the  vampire  slayer  )  ,  paris  geller  (  gilmore  girls  )  ,  petra  solano  (  jane  the  virgin  )  ,  cece  parekh  (  new  girl  )  ,  emily  gilmore  (  gilmore  girls  )  ,  gina  linetti  (  brooklyn  nine  nine  )

let’s  get  one  thing  straight  .  my  main  motivation  behind  creating  &  developing  emma  is  that  i  want  to  play  a  bitch  <333

emma  vanity  has  never  really  seen  the  point  of  playing  nice  ,  or  playing  fair  ,  if  there’s  the  option  of  playing  to  win  .  life  isn’t  nice  ,  and  it  isn’t  fair  ,  and  someone’s  always  cheating  so  you  might  as  well  too  .  whoever  said  that  not  everything’s  a  competition  was  clearly  losing  .

she  was  a  terror  as  a  child  &  her  father  absolutely  encouraged  it  at  every  opportunity  .  if  she  made  another  kid  cry  ?  that  wasn’t  something  she’d  done  wrong  ,  that  other  kid  needed  to  grow  a  backbone  .  she  was  screaming  and  crying  because  she  wanted  a  new  toy  ?  good  ,  she  knew  what  she  wanted  and  wasn’t  afraid  to  get  it

her  mother  ,  on  the  other  hand  ,  clearly  resented  the  life  she’d  been  dealt  ,  and  viewed  her  uncontrollable  daughter  who  wore  the  face  of  a  man  she’d  never  loved  as  a  lost  cause  .  the  feeling  was  mutual  –  emma  saw  her  mother  as  weak  ,  irritating  ,  jealous  .  call  it  a  defense  mechanism  ,  if  you  will  ;  it’s  easier  to  stomach  a  mother  who  doesn’t  like  you  if  you  don’t  like  her  either  . 

this  quote  :  often  father  and  daughter  look  down  on  mother  (  woman  )  together  .  they  exchange  meaningful  glances  when  she  misses  a  point  .  they  agree  that  she  is  not  bright  as  they  are  ,  cannot  reason  as  they  do  .  this  collusion  does  not  save  the  daughter  from  the  mother’s  fate  .

also  this  quote  :  in  a  dream  i  saw  my  mother  with  the  love  of  her  life  and  no  children  /  it was  the  happiest  i’d  ever  seen  her

anyway  moving  on  from  the  Mommy  Issues  ™

she  realized  she  was  good  at  quidditch  in  her  first  year  at  hogwarts  ,  during  the  mandatory  flying  lessons  .  it  had  never  interested  her  before  ;  it  seemed  dull  ,  boorish  ,  base  .  but  once  she  discovered  she  was  a  natural  on  a  broom  ,  all  that  changed  .

she  loves  the  adrenaline  of  it  ,  the  violence  ,  the  cutthroat  competition  .  she’s  been  a  beater  on  the  slytherin  quidditch  team  since  her  third  year  .  

random  side  note  :  she  wears  a  full  face  of  makeup  for  every  quidditch  match  .  bc  she’s  that  bitch

fairly  irreverent  .  ready  to  laugh  at  just  about  anything  .  but  like  ,  in  a  mean  way  yk  .  there’s  not  much  she  won’t  mock

something  emma  really  admires  is  the  ability  to  hide  weakness  .  if  you  can  take  whatever  shit  she  throws  at  you  without  flinching  ,  in  some  weird  twisted  way  she  gains  more  respect  for  you  

competitive  as  ALL  HELL  .  finds  it  very  hard  to  turn  down  a  challenge  .  there’s  something  about  the  prospect  of  winning  that  just  lights  a  fire  underneath  her

funnily  enough  though  ,  this  doesn’t  really  extend  to  academic  performance  .  emma  cares  just  enough  about  school  in  order  to  get  passable  grades  and  that’s  it  .  anything  more  than  that  ,  she  views  as  a  waste  of  her  effort  and  time

loyal  to  the  people  she  does  care  about  but  also  ?  weirdly  possessive  ?  she’s  like  a  cat  ,  she  does  not  like  to  share  the  people  in  her  life  .  100%  the  sort  of  girl  to  sabotage  her  ex’s  new  relationship

let’s  be  clear  though  ,  emma  is  a  bitch  .  she’s  a  bully  .  she  enjoys  the  power  of  knowing  she’s  gotten  under  someone’s  skin  ,  of  knowing  she  holds  power  over  them  

one  thing  about  emma  is  that  she’ll  give  it  to  you  straight  .  she  doesn’t  see  the  point  of  wasting  time  with  coyness  or  fake  humbleness  .  she  knows  she’s  the  villain  in  many  people’s  stories  ,  and  she  doesn’t  care  .  she’d  much  rather  be  the  villain  than  be  fake  nice  or  fake  virtuous  .  has  absolutely  no  patience  for  people  who  try  and  paint  themselves  as  the  hero

anyway  yeah  she’s  intense  and  competitive  and  unflinching  and  bloodthirsty  and  greedy  and  bitchy  and  selfish  and  honest  and  confident  .  she’s  a  lot  !!  tbqh  i  haven’t  really  played  a  character  like  this  much  at  all  so  i’m  excited

this  is  such  a  mess  im  sorry

To cope after I finished The Good Place I decided to re-watch something light and funny that I already knew I would love and I just finished my re-watch of Jane the Virgin and now I feel emptier than before ahah

#I'm laughing through the tears lmao #I miss rafael solano petra solano and the villanueva family so much #ok but why happy shows get canceled while dark and quirky and blablabla get renewed for eternity? #we need more shows like jtv tgp hod etc #shut up anna

[aparticularbandit]

rafael mentions going to a dark place about a year and a half before canon events.  prior to his cancer, while he was married to petra.  i would guess this is likely when she had her miscarriage.

#musings #bandit liveblogs #jtv #rafael solano #petra solano #i think i already figured this #but i kind of want to mention it again if i hadn't already #but like - year and a half #i tend to think of those dark events as being pre-petra #they're not

top 5 favourite bis in media (outside of nbc hannibal) ?

I like a lot of the ‘iconic’ bi characters in recent media who come to mind (such as petra solano, annalise keating, rosa diaz, jack harkness, etc) but I wouldn’t count them as fave characters, so my list is a bit more literary instead:

charles ryder from brideshead revisited (sometimes i want to hit him but I still love him so much, and you can’t deny that he’s excellent messy bi representation)

hero de vera from america is not the heart by elaine castillo (bi filipino communist love of my life!!)

eve polastri from killing eve (sandro oh if you’re reading this....)

david rose from schitt’s creek (yes i am aware they use the word pansexual in the show but all the same)

billy prior from the regeneration trilogy (there are aspects of the representation of his bisexuality that I take issue with but I also just love that it’s such an integral part of who he is and how he experiences the story)

also shout out to basically every character in what we do in the shadows and the left hand of darkness and penny dreadful, and to jack and ennis from brokeback mountain, even though I start tearing up just thinking about them 🥺

So I’ve been thinking about how much potential JtV had and how it’s ended up like.......this, and there are two things I keep coming back to:

the world the show exists in feels a lot smaller than it did at the start

the time jump wasn’t equipped to bear the weight of Jane’s grief

This got longer than I planned and whether it makes sense or not is debatable but I’ve just had Thoughts so I’ve stuck them under the cut.

Losing a main character, along with the section of the show that they were the lead of, is definitely a part of that first point. And along with the role of the crime/detective plot being dramatically reduced, Luisa and Rose also stopped being in the show as much. It’s funny going back to watching s1, because the cast and the world just felt so much fuller. The show gave Jane friends, there were mentions of people we never saw on screen, whereas now it doesn’t really feel as though the characters have a life beyond what we see. Characters that are introduced into the show as Jane’s friends seem to vanish as fast as they arrive, and there are cases like Dennis where he more or less disappeared once he was ruled out as a love interest. I know that ‘so these random people are apparently Jane’s friends?’ is something the narrator has joked about several times, but by this point in the show it makes things like a whole bunch of people turning up for Jane’s 30th feel hollow and doesn’t help at all in the richness of the world. It’s not exactly the same thing since the premise of Crazy Ex Girlfriend involves someone moving to a town where they only know one person, but if you look at the cast at the end of the show, they excelled at getting characters to go from ‘random side character’ to ‘I can’t imagine the show without them’ in a way that makes the world of the show feel so much bigger and richer than it did at the start. Yes, JtV has added characters (a favourite of mine being Darci) but it just........idk to me it feels smaller.

And that first point applies in terms of the scale of the story, or of the threat. I think this is a problem that came with losing the detective plot as a main part of the show. Imagine if the show had gone in the direction where we would look back at s1 and think ‘remember when we thought Rose was a big threat? ha!’. @aparticularbandit made a great post pointing out how Mutter could have easily been Bigger and Badder than the show let her be, and then for so long the show didn’t really have a ~villain or mystery, at least not on a bigger scale than Anezka/Magda. And the lack of that, the fact that the show did away with a plot that had the potential to keep getting bigger and wilder meant that containing it more or less to a cycle of drama with Rose/Luisa a) made it feel repetitive and b) removed a lot of the potential for twisting and turning plot developments to complement the more restrained and character-based Villanueva plots. And, looking at s5, I am aware that kidnapping your lead character’s husband and torturing him until he has amnesia is a Big Villain Move but that plot was badly done and I’ve already talked about it endlessly so I won’t go into it here. And maybe s5 has some big plot left planned, but this is about missed potential more than anything.

A third and final thing that makes the world of the show not feel as developed as it could have been is the writers’ seeming reluctance to vary the characters put together for plots, only exacerbated by the show removing a main character. @petramos, @solanospetra and @jetrafied have already said a bunch of good stuff about this, but it’s just so strange that we’ve got to almost the end of the whole show and there’s been what......one? proper Petra/Rogelio scene? Have we even had a proper Petra/Xo scene beyond a brief exchange of hair/shorts compliments? Imagine if we’d had An Adventure In Aunty-ing starring Luisa and Anezka (I know they had a plot together but....still)! Or Luisa and Honorary Aunt Lina! Imagine if we’d got The Lawyering Adventures of Michael and JR! Give us Darci and *spins wheel* Rafael! Idk, going back to the point about lacking characters there’s a limit to how many you can pair up, but even with pairings we’ve seen many times the writers seem reluctant to change the dynamic. The Rogelio/River stuff is feeling old and repetitive, even Jane and Petra who have had probably the best development often seem to loop back to arguing. Going back to Michael, the Michael/Alba dynamic was something I always wanted the show to get to go into more, and then just as they managed to break him and Rafael out of their pattern of rivalry in s3 they killed him and undid everything when they brought him back. We were robbed of The Great Rogelio Rafael Michael Matelio Father’s Day Extravaganza we deserved! There’s just such a feeling of regression and repetition at the moment, rather than genuine progression. 

Putting together this lack of strong growth between all the characters and the lack of a big external threat means that, five seasons in, so much of the drama is still from internal conflict, rather than problems being faced by a big Villanueva-De La Vega-Solano-Cordero(-Factor-Santillan-etc) unit. And I’m not saying there shouldn’t be any internal conflict! That would be unrealistic and it’s good to keep the dynamics moving and changing! But I feel like it should be a bit more Big Family vs Life And Its Problems than it is at this point.

And now (this is a lot shorter I promise) the second point: the time jump. Honestly, a jump was exactly what the show needed at its halfway point. It would shake things up, put the characters in a new place while also giving them theoretically several years of relative calm in-universe, and from a practical perspective it would let them age up the child actors. Maybe it would have been more like the multiple smaller jumps in Chapter 28 than what we actually had in s3, but a jump would have been great. Provided that it was the jump itself that was mixing up the show. The problem was that it wasn’t the time jump that was the big change, it was something that happened immediately beforehand. And I’ve already rambled on enough (you know, looking back at that post I’ve........I’ve just repeated most of it here whoops, there I was complaining about the JtV writers being the repetitive ones lol) about that didn’t give the viewers enough time to deal with something very dark, nor did the continued lightness of the show really feel it did the grief justice. And obviously, they weren’t going to let the show get bogged down in sadness, so honestly I feel the jump should have been the twist on its own. They should have let it freshen up the show without having it bear the weight of something so traumatic.

So. That’s them thoughts written down. 

#who knows if this is coherent and idk if anyone else feels the same way about the show feeling ~smaller~ but anyway #jane the virgin #jtv #ramblings

#favorite character bingo #favorite character meme #favorite character bingo meme

[stormrp]

two announcements in one day, i know - we’re just outta control. anyway!! we’re here to give you our first preview!! seeing as we think it ties in nicely with our development contest we’re giving you the chance to check out the storm’s member groups!! you can see them all below the cut and hopefully you can find somewhere to drop your character! 

examples: molly weasley, lexie grey, ned stark, mary winchester, sookie st. james, phoebe halliwell, charles boyle, wendy darling, diana prince, samwise gamgee.

Caring, trustworthy and warm – these characters will always put other people’s needs before their own. That’s not to say that they’re pushovers; but they are more than willing to put themselves on the line to help others. They’re family-orientated and work better surrounded by people that they care about rather than on their own. A little stuck in their ways, they tend to like routine and knowing what’s going on – but that’s not to say that, with a gentle push in the right direction, they’re not willing to bend every now and again. They’re the problem-solvers and the ones you go to for advice or just a shoulder to cry on. They’re compassionate, understanding and honest whilst arguably a little meddlesome; but it’s only because they can’t help but try to get stuck in and help solve a situation if they see someone struggling. Principled and empathetic, they make the best kind of friends and add just a touch of calm to your life.

aesthetic: open fires, fluffy blankets, picnic baskets full to the brim, honey covered pancakes, hufflepuffs, freckled skin, handmade get-well-soon cards, bubble baths, chunky knit sweaters, old vinyls, reading glasses, cluttered kitchens, the smell of freshly baked bread, mom-jeans, the colour of leaves changing at fall.

examples: ryan reynolds, steve trevor, jim halpert, glenn rhee, rebecca pearson, neville longbottom, gale hawthorne, april kepner, mushu, chandler bing, robb stark, jake peralta.

These characters are your regular joe bloggs: they’re content and happy to drift through life without causing a scene or making a fuss. That’s not to say, however, that you should underestimate them -- though they’re not constantly battling to be the centre of attention, they’re smart, realistic and have a tonne of creative and fun ideas to throw into any situation. They’d be the person you called at 3am to help you bury a body without asking questions, basically. They’re the type of person to keep you grounded but can also be easily persuaded into some grand adventure, even if that’s just ice cream at 2 in the morning. Sure, maybe they pass up opportunities in favour of living a quiet life – but they’re a big personality that make any room fun and engaging. They won’t leave someone sat by themselves at a party, that’s for sure, and you’ll usually find them with a smart quip or funny joke to make the mood lighter.

aesthetic: fresh bed sheets, the smell after rain, street lamps reflecting off the pavement, listening to rain whilst wrapped up in a blanket, dog-eared books, slightly burnt toast, messily packed suitcases, dishes piled by the sink, thirty phone notifications, overgrown pot plants.

examples: katniss everdeen, prue halliwell, betty cooper, legolas, mary crawley, peggy carter, hermione granger, spock, cristina yang, amy dunne, arya stark, margaery tyrell, miranda priestley, shuri.

These characters ooze class and sophistication from every pore. They’re your studious, practical and just downright smart characters. They hold themselves, and everyone else, to pretty high standards and honestly believe that they know best in every, and any, given situation. They can be a little condescending without meaning to be at times but it usually comes from a place of good intention. No one can question the drive these characters have and, nine times out of ten, when they set a goal for themselves: they’ll achieve it. Whilst their minds are brilliant things to behold, they sometimes need a little help when it comes to the more emotional side of life. They hate to show weakness but despite their hard exterior, these characters feel a lot - probably because they’re notorious overthinkers. They’re definitely people that you want fighting in your corner with their quick wit and determination – just make sure you don’t wrong them, because if they’re good at anything then it’s holding a grudge.

aesthetic: to do lists, post-it notes on the fridge, colour-coded diaries, black coffee, late nights in the office, bulging bookcases, crisp white shirts, half-eaten toast, organised desks, the cold side of the pillow, early morning sun creeping through a crack in the curtains, opened take out containers, pinterest boards, alarm clocks, flickering light bulbs.

examples: haymitch abernathy, ginny weasley, alex karev, han solo, rosa diaz, cersei lannister, tony stark, jessica jones, draco malfoy, thorin oakenshield, jon snow, nick carraway, laura moon.

Dark and brooding; these characters are the ones most likely to pick a fight. They’re opinionated, feisty and it constantly feels like they woke up on the wrong side of the bed. These characters act like they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders and usually aren’t willing to let anyone else in to help them. They’re independent, resilient and incredibly resourceful but it often hinders their likability by… a lot. They can get incredibly narrow-minded and focus on what they don’t have instead of what they do. Stormy and tempestuous they’re most likely to pick a fight with you over nothing just because you looked at them the wrong way. It’s not all bad though; they’re fierce protectors and are unfailingly loyal to those they consider close. Yes, they have hot tempers and they’re prone to serious bouts of jealousy and possessiveness… but the bottom line is that they don’t really care what you think about them so, in a way, they’re arguably the freest type of character.

aesthetic: unmade beds, thunderstorms rolling in, cracked mirrors, cups of half-finished coffee, whiskey, leather jackets, ripped knee jeans, beaten up converse, piles of clothes, organised chaos, park benches at night, seedy bars, haphazardly open drawers, half-smoked cigarettes, shattered glass, lipstick stains on shirt collars.

examples: luna lovegood, arwen undómiel, george o’malley, cinderella, rory gilmore, veronica lodge, jane villanueva, jane porter, arthur weasley, lucy pevensie, jane bennett, bilbo baggins, phoebe buffay.

These are your happy-go-lucky characters. The dreamers, the trendsetters… the ones who brighten up a room every time they walk in. They dream big and sometimes get a little lost along the way, forgetting about reality for a little while. They’re rebellious and brave and are willing to put everything on the line to achieve what they want to achieve. They’re the inspirational friend who manages to juggle two jobs, ten hobbies and writing a book on the side – you know? They feel a lot pretty much all of the time – from one extreme to the other. They fall in love at least twice a day – three times on a Sunday – and they cry at sad television adverts every single time. It’s hard not to feel moved when you’re around one of these characters or even just a little inspired by their total acceptance of who they are as a person. They might not know exactly who they are yet but they’re sure on their way. Just don’t mistake them for being the wishy-washy type because they’re determined little creatures who tend to get exactly what they want without fail.

aesthetic: surprise parties, quaint coffee shops, the first signs of spring, oversized cardigans, personalised thank you notes, sun kissed skin, movie marathons, dainty jewellery, potted plants, binge watching Netflix, brightly coloured rooms, belly laughs, vintage furniture.

examples: ron weasley, cheryl blossom, petra solano, sirius black, james t. kirk, monica geller, flynn rider, meredith grey, jyn erso, lara croft, elizabeth bennett, claire fraser, amy santiago.

These characters want to stand out. Whether it’s for their brains, their looks, their charity or their scandals… they want to make a difference. It’s not always entirely for the good of others either; they like the praise, attention and constant affirmation. Sometimes it’s selfishly motivated and other times these characters are just genuinely looking for some love and validation. Honestly? Most of the time, deep down, these characters are cripplingly insecure and make up for that by throwing themselves out there; whether that’s with their sense of humour, their work ethic or even just straight up being rude… whatever sets them apart from the crowd and gets them noticed, right? They might be the most morally-loose of the groups and they may get a little… crazy sometimes; trampling on other people’s feelings and forgetting that their actions have consequences but they’re just searching for that big-time confirmation that they matter… to someone.

aesthetic: drunk phone calls at 3am, photo albums full to the brim, eyes rolling, clothes left in the washer, the first bout of frost, way too loud music, staying in the club until closing, bold colours, thunder and lightning, over the top gestures, first over the finish line, shouting matches.

[irelandhoneybee]

My really random thoughts/ramblings on Luke Cage Season 2:

Overall, I really enjoyed season 2, although my head is still spinning from the last episode. Season 3 should be verrrry interesting.

 All the awards to Alfre Woodard please and thank you

Both Claire and Bobby’s absences spoke volumes re: where Luke ends the season in my opinion. Really disappointed they were both written out so early, as I love both of them and neither one got nearly as much screentime as they deserved.  Sidenote: Rosario Dawson was absolutely incredible in the breakup scene in 2x03. Also: totally sticking with my theory that Claire changes her name to Jane Ramos, relocates to Miami and falls in love with Petra Solano.  

Reg E. Cathey was also awesome; sad to think he won’t be back, but an amazing final performance.  Also: I would have been arguing with James about Titanic.  Jack TRIED to get on the door and it immediately started to sink (and do not even start with me with “well maybe if Rose had lost a few pounds”.)  

Luke Cage Season 2 should be the guidebook for how to handle crossovers going forward on the other series.  Seriously well done.

Luke and Claire making love to Marley’s “Night Nurse” was fucking HOT.  Sidenote: hello Luke’s ass

Where’s my Misty/Colleen Daughters of the Dragon spinoff???  Extremely excited that Misty will be in Iron Fist season 2

Misty Knight. Enough Said.

I love how they handled Bushmaster, and loved that line before they leave to go back to Jamaica about how he finally got to the top but couldn’t enjoy the view.  

We definitely have not seen the last of Tilda

DW is awesome and I love him

Absolutely LOVED the Luke/Danny team-up; those two are a lot of fun together and I hope we get more of them together

I need that Sweet Xmas hoodie

I honestly don’t know who I was more excited to see in ep 10: Danny or Turk

I legit wonder if Danny stopped back by Turk’s on his way home to buy that dragon pipe

Very glad to see Genghis Connie’s back in business

Was it just me or did Luke move to trusting Sugar really fucking quickly??  

Seriously Luke? “Tell Claire to go home”?? I know you think what you’re doing is the right thing but you don’t want her giving voice to that little nagging feeling telling you this is a terrible fucking idea do you now? Sigh.  

Loved the little Godfather spoof they did at the end with the door closing on Misty.  I’ve seen some people complain that it was a little too on the nose, but I loved it.  

Jesus Christ I forgot how good Mike Colter looks in a suit.  

Just the image of Shades sitting down to watch This Is Us will be enough to get me through dark times, let alone him crying while he watches it

 And last but certainly not least:

 Foggy Nelson!!! I screamed. I’m guessing it was intentional that they left it vague where he was working (and I almost wonder if JJ season 2 and LC season 2 where happening simultaneously, so maybe it was still Hogarth Chao and Benowitz???)

 And not just one but two mentions of Karen Page!!!  It would have been awesome if she was one of the reporters gathered outside during Misty’s statement.  Sigh.  

#luke cage season 2 #luke cage season 2 spoilers #luke cage spoilers #luke cage #now announce season 3 already #cuz i am really fucking curious how this will play out #this will not end well for you luke
