Canon Descendants Peter Pan

Ok! So there’s no real story for this as I couldn’t think of one, but I have little ideas for each of them. First, in order they go from left to right: Harriet, Harry (twins) and Calista (changed from CJ) Hook, then Maggie, the granddaughter of Wendy—daughter of Jane and a grandson of the girl in one of the Tinkerbell Movies (Lizzie Griffiths)—And finally the Smee sons, Sammy, Squirmy and Squeaky.

The mother of the Hook kids is the female pirate Red Jessica, and Smee’s is Mollie, Red Jessica’s first mate. They’re Hook and Smee’s girlfriends from the Disney JR Show Jake and the Neverland Pirates, who’d be reworked a bit to appeal more to older audiences ( I always try to pull from actual Disney properties for the Canon Descendants parents when I can—I changed CJ/Calista’s hair a bit to better reflect her mother)

I can’t imagine Hook being the kind to hold down a steady relationship, so by the time the kids are older Hook and Jessica have split up. Harriet is part of Red Jessica’s crew, sailing the Seas of the EverRealm. Harry has gone into Our World and is bopping around the London Punk scene. And Calista is with her father’s crew, learning to carry on his feud with Peter Pan —while also constantly running off to hangout with Tiger Lily. Smee is still with Mollie and has sent over Sammy to take his place on the Jolly Rodger. Sammy is much cleverer then any of the other pirates (including Hook) and secretly runs the show while trying to bolster Capt Hook’s ego like any good second in command.

The Weasley family

I wrote Garreth's family into You need only ask and wanted to flesh out the characters a bit, especially my sweet Charlotte 🌼 there's also been some chat in the Garreth discord about Hector and Oscar! None of this is canon except that he has a younger sister and his dad's name starts with a G, so this is all just headcanon 😌

Ages at the time Garreth is at the end of seventh year (18).

Dad: Griffith, 45

Griffith is career-focused with high ambitions—he works at the Ministry in law enforcement with his eye on the top job in his department. He's a powerful wizard with great skill in duelling, though he doesn't often show this side of himself to his family.

He loves his family dearly, and they will always be his priority, but he can come across as cold when he doesn't openly show his emotions. He believes that hard work and sensible decisions will gain you success and doesn't entirely approve of his middle son's lofty entrepreneurial and creative goals.

Mum: Harriet, 42

Harriet is warm, friendly and incredibly family-oriented. A housewife for several years, she gave up her job as a magical horticulturist when she fell pregnant with Oscar.

Her favourite subject at school was predictably Herbology and she uses her cultivating skills to grow various plants in her large garden, preparing salves for cuts and scrapes and potions for all manner of domestic uses. She also loves to cook with her homegrown ingredients and passes on her cooking skills and family recipes to all of her children.

Brother: Oscar, 21

Academically gifted and a seemingly model student, Oscar was given the role of prefect in his sixth year at Hogwarts. In reality, he merely had a talent for being discreet with his rule breaking. He often used his status to keep his friends (and little brother) out of trouble and had a habit of using the prefects' bathroom for 'extracurricular activities'.

He works as an Obliviator at the Ministry, though his passion lies in Quidditch as a huge supporter of the Chudley Cannons. When he plays, he's a Keeper, though he didn't quite have the talent to carry it on as a career.

Brother: Hector, 13

Hector started Hogwarts whilst Garreth was in his fifth year. As soon as he overheard about the unsanctioned duelling club, Crossed Wands, he was hooked. Whilst he only had the courage to watch the other duellists at first, once in his second year at school he started to duel, occasionally roping his brother into partnering with him.

It comes as no surprise that his favourite class is Defence Against the Dark Arts, closely followed by Charms. When he's not practicing his wand work, he's researching new spells to master, warning himself a little bit of a reputation as a bookworm.

Sister: Charlotte, 8

Intensely curious with an insatiable thirst for knowledge. She loves asking questions, even when they might not be appropriate (as with any young child) or get her into trouble.

She's a little wild and hard to control, much to the dismay of her overworked parents. She inherited a love of the natural world from her mother and loves to explore and be outside, spending hours climbing, rambling and hiding out in her treehouse.

She can't wait to start Hogwarts to see what all the fuss is about.

The Slave Experience of the Holidays

American slaves experienced the Christmas holidays in many different ways. Joy, hope, and celebration were naturally a part of the season for many. For other slaves, these holidays conjured up visions of freedom and even the opportunity to bring about that freedom. Still others saw it as yet another burden to be endured. This month, Documenting the American South considers the Christmas holidays as they were experienced by enslaved Americans.

The prosperity and relaxed discipline associated with Christmas often enabled slaves to interact in ways that they could not during the rest of the year. They customarily received material goods from their masters: perhaps the slave's yearly allotment of clothing, an edible delicacy, or a present above and beyond what he or she needed to survive and work on the plantation. For this reason, among others, slaves frequently married during the Christmas season. When Dice, a female slave in Nina Hill Robinson's Aunt Dice, came to her master "one Christmas eve, and asked his consent to her marriage with Caesar," her master allowed the ceremony, and a "great feast was spread" (pp. 24-25). Dice and Caesar were married in "the mistress's own parlor . . . before the white minister" (pp. 25-26). More than any other time of year, Christmas provided slaves with the latitude and prosperity that made a formal wedding possible.

On the plantation, the transfer of Christmas gifts from master to slave was often accompanied by a curious ritual. On Christmas day, "it was always customary in those days to catch peoples Christmas gifts and they would give you something." Slaves and children would lie in wait for those with the means to provide presents and capture them, crying 'Christmas gift' and refusing to release their prisoners until they received a gift in return (p. 22). This ironic annual inversion of power occasionally allowed slaves to acquire real power. Henry, a slave whose tragic life and death is recounted in Martha Griffith Browne's Autobiography of a Female Slave, saved "Christmas gifts in money" to buy his freedom (p. 311).

Some slaves saw Christmas as an opportunity to escape. They took advantage of relaxed work schedules and the holiday travels of slaveholders, who were too far away to stop them. While some slaveholders presumably treated the holiday as any other workday, numerous authors record a variety of holiday traditions, including the suspension of work for celebration and family visits. Because many slaves had spouses, children, and family who were owned by different masters and who lived on other properties, slaves often requested passes to travel and visit family during this time. Some slaves used the passes to explain their presence on the road and delay the discovery of their escape through their masters' expectation that they would soon return from their "family visit." Jermain Loguen plotted a Christmas escape, stockpiling supplies and waiting for travel passes, knowing the cover of the holidays was essential for success: "Lord speed the day!--freedom begins with the holidays!" (p. 262). These plans turned out to be wise, as Loguen and his companions are almost caught crossing a river into Ohio, but were left alone because the white men thought they were free men "who have been to Kentucky to spend the Holidays with their friends" (p. 303).

Harriet Tubman helped her brothers escape at Christmas. Their master intended to sell them after Christmas but was delayed by the holiday. The brothers were expected to spend the day with their elderly mother but met Tubman in secret. She helped them travel north, gaining a head start on the master who did not discover their disappearance until the end of the holidays. Likewise, William and Ellen Crafts escaped together at Christmastime. They took advantage of passes that were clearly meant for temporary use. Ellen "obtained a pass from her mistress, allowing her to be away for a few days. The cabinet-maker with whom I worked gave me a similar paper, but said that he needed my services very much, and wished me to return as soon as the time granted was up. I thanked him kindly; but somehow I have not been able to make it convenient to return yet; and, as the free air of good old England agrees so well with my wife and our dear little ones, as well as with myself, it is not at all likely we shall return at present to the 'peculiar institution' of chains and stripes" (pp. 303-304).

Christmas could represent not only physical freedom, but spiritual freedom, as well as the hope for better things to come. The main protagonist of Martha Griffin Browne's Autobiography of a Female Slave, Ann, found little positive value in the slaveholder's version of Christmas—equating it with "all sorts of culinary preparations" and extensive house cleaning rituals—but she saw the possibility for a better future in the story of the life of Christ: "This same Jesus, whom the civilized world now worship as their Lord, was once lowly, outcast, and despised; born of the most hated people of the world . . . laid in the manger of a stable at Bethlehem . . . this Jesus is worshipped now" (p. 203, 47-48). For Ann, Christmas symbolized the birth of the very hope she used to survive her captivity.

Not all enslaved African Americans viewed the holidays as a time of celebration and hope. Rather, Christmas served only to highlight their lack of freedom. As a young boy, Louis Hughes was bought in December and introduced to his new household on Christmas Eve "as a Christmas gift to the madam" (p. 13). When Peter Bruner tried to claim a Christmas gift from his master, "he took me and threw me in the tan vat and nearly drowned me. Every time I made an attempt to get out he would kick me back in again until I was almost dead" (p. 22).

Frederick Douglass described the period of respite that was granted to slaves every year between Christmas and New Year's Day as a psychological tool of the oppressor. In his 1845 Narrative, Douglass wrote that slaves celebrated the winter holidays by engaging in activities such as "playing ball, wrestling, running foot-races, fiddling, dancing, and drinking whiskey" (p. 75). He took particular umbrage at the latter practice, which was often encouraged by slave owners through various tactics. "One plan [was] to make bets on their slaves, as to who can drink the most whiskey without getting drunk; and in this way they succeed in getting whole multitudes to drink to excess" (p. 75). In My Bondage and My Freedom, Douglass concluded that "[a]ll the license allowed [during the holidays] appears to have no other object than to disgust the slaves with their temporary freedom, and to make them as glad to return to their work, as they were to leave it" (p. 255). While there is no doubt that many enjoyed these holidays, Douglass acutely discerned that they were granted not merely in a spirit of charity or conviviality, but also to appease those who yearned for freedom, ultimately serving the ulterior motives of slave owners.

23 Republican Senators & 124 Congressmen signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court asking for a 50 state ban on mifepristone, a drug safer than tylenol that is standard treatment for abortion & miscarriages, "due to safety concerns". The brief DARES to argue that banning the life saving drug would save women from 'reproductive control'. (x) These 147 people would rather have women die of sepsis than let women control their own bodies. If your representatives are on this list, call them and tell their office you will be voting against them in the next election because they asked SCOTUS to throw the US medical drug system into chaos at the cost of American lives.

Soundness for women, and sometimes for men, was tied to sexual attractiveness and to reproductive ability.

Thomas Jefferson declared, “I consider a slave woman who breeds once every two years as profitable as the best worker on the farm.” Every year from 1750 until emancipation, one of every five black women of childbearing age (between fifteen and forty-four) gave birth. Girls were forced or enticed into sexual relationships at an unhealthily early age by owners who cited the girls’ supposedly hot-blooded African nature.

Sexually transmitted diseases thrived on the plantation, notably syphilis, against which the immunologically naïve Africans had little protection. Enslaved women’s vulnerability began on the sea passage from Africa, as recorded in the 1788 memoirs of English ship’s surgeon Alexander Falconbridge: “On board some ships the common sailors are allowed to have intercourse with such of the black women whose consent they can procure…. The officers are permitted to indulge their passions among them at pleasure and sometimes are guilty of such excesses as disgrace human nature.”

But whites ascribed black women’s sexual availability not to their powerlessness but to a key tenet of scientific racism: Blacks were unable to control their powerful sexual drives, which were frequently compared to those of rutting animals. This lack of control made black men dangerous and made black women sexually aggressive Jezebels who habitually enticed white men into inappropriate sexual relations.

(...)

This theory did not allocate any responsibility to the master as the owner of the women and the person who decided when and with whom she would have sexual relations. But slave narratives bemoan the rape and sexual abuse that threatened a black woman at every turn. (...)

As the personal property of the master, black women had no social or legal protection: They could not legally be raped. Even consensual relationships had to be viewed through the lens of enslavement. In her memoirs, former slave Harriet Jacobs sadly mused that she eventually acquiesced to such sexual demands because it was less humiliating to give in than to be forced.

Once pregnant, women typically were kept at hard labor until their fifth month and recalcitrant pregnant women were made to lie in trenches that accommodated their bellies so that they could be beaten without harming the unborn child. Soundness considerations also dictated levels of care, which varied according to a slave’s value. Slaves who were strong, young, and valuable received a quality of care that was denied to the feeble as well as to the aged, who were often cast off the plantation or sold to physicians when the expense of their care exceeded their market value.

Former slave Martha Griffith Browne recalled the words in which an abusive master refused to pay a doctor to treat an elderly slave who had spent her life working on his plantation: “‘ I ain’t gwine fur to spend money on that old nigger, unless you cure her, and make her able to work and pay fur the money that’s bin laid out fur her…. If she be gwine to die, why let her do it in the cheapest way.’”

🖤♾⚫️ ❖ Happy Black History Month Opera： ___ ❶ Follow along throughout February as we highlight operas by Black composers. First up is Champion by Terence Blanchard. This groundbreaking piece combines the disciplines of opera and jazz and depicts the life of boxer Emile Griffith. Don't miss the Met Opera debut of Champion this spring! ____ ❷ The Central Park Five by Anthony Davis tells the true story of five teenagers wrongly accused of a crime, then sentenced to years in maximum security prisons. The opera's harrowing account of these convictions, incarcerations, and eventual exonerations remains a devastatingly relevant indictment of the racial injustices in America. ___ ❸ Troubled Island by William Grant Still portrays Jean Jacques Dessalines and the corruption of his leadership in the Haitian revolution. This work was the first grand opera composed by an African American to be produced by a major company - debuting at New York City Opera in 1949. ___ ❹ Harriet Tubman: When I Crossed that Line to Freedom by Nkeiru Okoye depicts the life of the legendary Underground Railroad conductor. Based on recent Tubman biographies, the story is told in the context of Tubman’s tight-knit family of lively characters. ___ ❺ Treemonisha by Scott Joplin takes place in 1884 on a former Texas slave plantation and tells the story of Treemonisha - a young freedwoman. Joplin was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for music in 1976 for this unique "ragtime opera." ___ ❻ Fire Shut Up in My Bones by Terence Blanchard follows Charles, a boy of "peculiar grace," as he finds his place in the world and heals from childhood trauma. The work made history in 2021 when it became the first opera by a Black composer to be performed at the Metropolitan Opera. ___ ❼ We close out our #BlackHistoryMonth features with X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X by Anthony Davis. Based on the life of the civil rights leader Malcolm X, this work is set to make its Met Opera debut next season - don't miss it! ___ ✦ The Metropolitan Opera ᰽ The Metropolitan Opera Guild ► [ nk.bio/metopera / metopera.org ] ___ #BlackHistoryMonth #TheMetropolitanOpera #TheMetropolitanOperaGuild #MetOpera #MetOperaGuild （在 The Metropolitan Opera Guild） https://www.instagram.com/p/CpKx6ZRvE-d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World by Chelsea Clinton. Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger

Age Recommendation: Early Primary Topic/ Theme: Persistence, Equality Setting: America Series: She Persisted

Rating: 5/5

Young girls need to see role models in whatever careers they may choose, just so they can picture themselves doing those jobs someday. You can't be what you can't see. — Sally Ride

Alexandra Boiger's illustrations are what makes this book. It could easily be just another list of famous women if it weren't for Boiger's beautiful illustrations. I'm not sure who chose to match Chelsea Clinton with Alexandra Boiger, Boiger's watercolour style is a great match for the style of writing Clinton chooses to use. One that inspires thoughts of softness, a reminder that these are women.

This book includes 13 women. I will make comments either on Boiger's art or Clinton's words.

Harriet Tubman — Boiger has set made her piece for Tubman at night, while escorting the Underground Railroad. The role that made her famous. Clinton makes sure young readers feel her bravery.

Helen Keller — I love that Helen Keller's entry includes Anne Sullivan, Anne deserves recognition for all she did too. And those are fantastic likenesses of both Keller and Sullivan (and of course Sir Thomas). This entry is an important representation.

Clara Lemlich — It was the illustrations on Clara Lemlich's entry that made me start looking so intently at all the others. Putting Clara in red at all times allows Boiger to create a layered and structured story.

Nellie Bly — I like how Clinton approached Nelly Bly. An adult would see how bold Nelly had to be. There are things that Nelly did that journalists still have to be super bold to do now. Boiger does a great job to create that visual disconnect between captivity and freedom using colour and shape.

Virginia Apgar — I had never heard of Apgar before or the Apgar score. This is just a wonderful introduction to her. The blues of the illustrations are the right choice.

Maria Tallchief — This is by far my fave illustration in the book and I will not go into it. Another woman I had never heard of. I'm Australian and dance is not my thing. But I'm going to look her up.

Claudette Colvin — All I will say about this entry is I am glad Colvin was chosen rather than Parks. Parks, while undoubtedly important to the Civil Rights Movement got part of her inspiration from Colvin

Ruby Bridges — I adore the change in angle for the art. Boiger has chosen to draw her from above. I love Ruby Bridges but damn no child should have gone through what she had to. If you have the opportunity to see her speak take it.

Margaret Chase Smith — Like Clara Lemlich, Margaret Chase Smith seems to be drawn using the adage red is power. I don't know anything about her, but from what Clinton gives us I know who her equivalent is in my country. Powerful women in government are a whole other thing to me.

Saly Ride — Sally Ride is an unexpected (I know it shouldn't be) but good inclusion. there is a lot of blues here and I appreciate that. I like that Clinton doesn't limit herself to Ride's space travels, choosing to include her educational programs.

Florence Griffith Joyner — This has such a smart illustration. It has Florence Griffith Joyner as a child running on one page with a continuation to her adult self wearing her Olympic medals. It is just a brilliant page, both the words and the art.

Oprah Winfrey — I really don't like the illustration for Oprah Winfrey. I like Clinton's words but there is something off about Boiger's art.

Sonia Sotonayor — I'm so happy Sonia Sotonayor is in here. She is a representation of the highest order for young lantix people. These people are often shown in a negative light around the justice system. Another justice that could be included, one who doesn't get enough love is Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female Supreme Court justice.

I want to include the dedications here because I really like them. "Inspired by Senator Elizabeth Warren and in celebration of all the women who persist every day. — C.C. To some Heroines of mine: Coretta Scott King, Sophie Scholl, and my mother, Berta Boiger. — A.B." For those unaware Coretta Scott King was an American civil rights leader, unfortunately only ever seen as wife to Martin Luther King Jr but that is not all she was. Sophie Scholl was a German political activist in a non-violent fashion against the Nazis in WWII. She was executed at 21 and her story is definitely one to note.

Would you mind describing your take on Garreth? You got me interested

Aight, why not. Not comprehensive, I need to add to this before I write anything more serious for Gar.

Garreth Weasley character profile

Scent: Cinders, Butterbeer

Boggart: His partner or family dead

Patronus: Labrador retriever

Quidditch position: Prefers to watch, big Chudley Cannons fan. Will play beater casually.

Family

Pureblood

Dad - Griffith

Mum - Harriet

Brother - Hector, older, 19

Brother - Oscar, younger, 12

Sister - Charlotte, younger, 8

Aunt - Matilda

Education, skills

Highly skilled in Potions

Highly skilled in Herbology (assumed)

Apparition

Preference for practical magic e.g. Transfiguration, Charms, DADA

Can also assume that whilst Garreth is a talented wizard, he often lets his education fall by the wayside in favour of his passion for brewing (very like Fred & George).

Career

Entrepreneur/business owner - potions/magical drinks

Potioneer - experimental potions

Scope for him to have a career related to healing or ministry work (likely he wouldn’t find this interesting).

Garreth would prefer to be able to carry on his experimentation in whatever capacity.

Whilst he is interested in magical drinks during school, this could develop into something more serious as he grows older. Much like F&G start to use their skills in aiding the war e.g. protective clothing, peruvian darkness powder, Garreth could turn his potions expertise to more worthwhile problems.

Personality traits

Inquisitive

Since he knew about the One-eyed-witch passage to Honeydukes we can assume he is inquisitive and possibly a bit of a troublemaker.

Entrepreneurial, creative, passionate

He enjoys experimenting with brewing potions and drinks, often using his family and younger students to test out his concoctions on.

Playful, confident, outgoing

We see this side of him during his time at Hogwarts. Upon meeting Gryffindor MC he is friendly and forthcoming.

Brave, courageous

Gryffindor traits (assumed)

Chivalrous, honourable

Gryffindor traits (assumed)

Particularly with his partner, he is kind and attentive.

Scenarios

How would he act under pressure?

Generally acts instinctively, when under pressure he can act without thinking through the repercussions.

As an older adult having more world experience, Garreth would be level-headed and able to summon his Gryffindor traits of bravery and courageousness where necessary.

How would he react to someone being mean?

Generally a pretty upfront guy, he would confront the person. Often thinks the best of people, assumes they'd be open to discussion. Doesn't hold grudges often.

What is he like as a partner?

Incredibly sweet, thoughtful though can sometimes get things wrong (mostly things he says, or doesn't say - again, he's an impulsive talk-before-thinking kind of person)

Love languages are quality time and physical touch.

How would he comfort you?

Lots of cuddles. Sometimes not sure what to say but will do anything you want to make you feel better. He tries really hard to comfort you but might need a little guidance when it comes to the heavy stuff.

Cooking

Headcanons:

f!MC wanting to peg them

Celebrating your birthday

Where they'd like to cum

How they announce when they're going to cum

Dating Garreth
