Полагая, что активные женщины Эвергрин-Харбор должны держаться вместе, Тина Тинкер предложила Бесс пообщаться в неформальной обстановке стендап-фестиваля в Сан-Мишуно. Дальновидная Бесс решила укрепить полезное знакомство и приняла спонтанное предложение Тины.
Девушки неплохо провели время на фестивале «Шутки и Забавы», от души хохоча над комедийными номерами Пенни Пиззаз.
Бесс впервые в жизни попробовала острое вьетнамское блюдо «Фо».
Just some thoughts on the time of when OTJ takes place: Thunder Junction was vacant (except for cactus folk) before the Omenpaths opened… but in the stories it already has dozens, possibly hundreds of towns, some of which are already abandoned, including abandoned mines. This suggests more than a year or two has passed since the Omenpaths opened up. Even acknowledging a very boom-bust cycle of development, and the Sterling company wasting a lot of resources on risky claims, it feels more like a decade or more has passed since the Omenpaths opened up. I’ll be interested to see if we get a more concrete idea of how much time has passed.
While it may seem odd for so much to have happened in one or two years, remember that you had a huge influx of dispossessed people with a wide variety of skills and magic, all pooling their resources together to build something new.
And while it can feel unrealistic - there's a big real-life parallel in the American West: The Gold Rush lasted only six years, and they didn't have Magic. San Francisco alone went from 1,000 people to 25,000 people in a single year. Entire towns sprung up almost overnight and disappeared just as fast. In a world with magic, it's not surprising that they'd move just as fast.
Also note: not everything abandoned would have been the Sterling Company, and notice Oko's jab at Saddlebrush to Annie - she clearly knows and recognizes whole towns can get wiped off the map easily out here, especially with the Hellspurs out there. Even her side story features an existential threat to the entire town. Towns can disappear quickly there.
These are the stones I have available for wire wraps, for those of you who are interested!
If you would like to claim one, please be sure to read this entire post!
So here’s the rundown. Below is a picture with each stone numbered, and below that is the name of each stone, along with the price.
The price includes the following: the stone wrapped in the metal of your choice (sterling silver, 14k gold fill, 14k rose gold fill), an 18″ chain finished with a handmade clasp, and it includes free shipping worldwide!
You will choose the style they’d like it wrapped in. There are three example pics below.
Payment is due when the stone is claimed and all the options are chosen (metal, style, etc). PLEASE NOTE - these will be completed in late May 2023. I will aim to have them done before the end of that month. They take a long time to make, please make sure you’re okay with the wait before ordering. I put the utmost care into this and have extreme attention to detail, and when that combines with my busy schedule, it means that it can take a while. I always aim to get them done early, but sometimes it’s not possible. If you are buying one for a certain event or deadline please be sure to let me know when ordering, so I can let you know if it's possible for it to be completed before then!
To claim: send me a message over the instant messenger with your email address, the country you’re in, the stone you’d like to claim, the metal you’d like it wrapped in, and the style you’d like it wrapped in. I’ll then send your invoice and get started on your pendant! :)

recap :
"who is there?!" both noah and amélie turned around and saw an old man, who is angry at them. both of them were confused with this man. "this is our mum's grave and we're her children." noah said calmly. the old man looked confuse, dropping down things in paper bags that was in his arms. "you're irene's children?" the old man asked. amélie looked at noah and vice versa, noah looked back at the old man. "who are you to our mum sir?" noah asked, tried to be rational as he never seen this man with his mum before.
"i'm her dad."

"wow top 10, congrates!" y/n wished carlos as he came into her view. carlos smiled brightly and hugged y/n in a way. "thank you." carlos thanked. y/n turned around and saw charles coming into her view. her eyes brighten up. same goes to her smile. y/n waved at charles' way. charles who was stunned, walking his way to y/n and carlos. "hey!" y/n greeted charles as he arrived to both y/n and carlos. charles patted carlos' back and as if it was a signal, carlos left both y/n and charles, while the two of them just watching carlos leaving with his engineer walking side by side.
charles cleared his throat to catch y/n's attention, and as y/n looked at charles, smiling, charles could feel his cheeks starting to heat up. "you want to uh, hang out? if that is what people usually say, yes?" charles asked as if it felt like he was blabbering, which making y/n giggled as she nodded her head yes.
"sure, i would love to hang out."

noah and amélie sat next to each other, side by side as the old man who claimed to their mum's dad, was sitting across of them at a local diner, in san francisco. "so you two are irene's children, which makes my grandchildren?" the man, joseph sterling, asked. noah and amélie looked at each other. "uh yea, my name's noah and she's amélie." noah introduced as amélie nodded her head yes. "we have a sister, y/n." amélie said as she looked at noah, he nodded his head. "and she's my twin sister." amélie added.
"twins? my, does your mum do have the twin genetics." joseph said as he chuckled. "your mum also has a twin." joseph informed and both noah and amélie nodded their head yes. "yea, our uncle isaac." noah told him. joseph nodded his head yes smiling at noah and amélie, and then turned his head down.
"i was wrong, for leaving my family behind and now regreting that my own grandchildren don't even know as much as i don't know about them." joseph told them. "where were you all this time long?" amélie asked and joseph looked at her. joseph sighed. "i got remarried and immediate moved to canada right after the ceremony." joseph sighed once again and looked out of the window. "when i learned that irene got married and moved to nice and isaac went to england right after your grandmother died, i knew that i was too late to fix things up." joseph added. "i lost contact of both my children, my ex wife died and my wife, flew away with the money i had in my hands. my life couldn't get anymore worst when i learned that irene died 12 years later and i heard that isaac demanding to bring irene back here in san francisco."
amélie scoffed as she shooked her head no. "meaning you want to say that you regret that things went this way? then no need to bother to admit you're our grandfather when you don't even act like a father to your children." amélie said as she stood up from her seat and left the diner, followed by noah.

sitting by a dock, y/n and charles enjoyed the dusk view as sun starting to set down, giving the sky looks orangey, purple-ish with clouds here and there. y/n swung her legs back and forth as she admired the view. charles, who was nervous with no reason, just side-eyed her. "charles," charles looked at her fully. same goes with y/n, smiling weakly. "the view is nice, thank you for taking me here." y/n said as charles chuckled. "i'm trying to impress you actually." this time y/n chuckled st charles' response. "consider i am." y/n replied and then both of them looked at the sky-ocean view once again.
"you know why my name is amélie?" y/n asked, charles looked back at her. "it was because, my mum had always love everything french." y/n replied as she sighed. "she would manisfesting that one day she would marry a man from france and lived there for the rest of her life." y/n smiled weakly as she tells the story. "her favourite song is the 'la vie en rose' like other typical american who wanting to be ala-french and she was the top student in her french class."
"but her family was so poor even for my mum and my uncle's schooltrips, which they had to not join with other children, where my grandmother worked two jobs for her two children right after her husband remarried and ran away." y/n sighed deeply as charles focused on listening. "they were so poor that made my mum wished she would marry a rich man so that they don't have to lived in such poorness in the future life." this time, y/n chuckled.
"one day, while my mum was working as a housekeeping at this prestige hotel, where she worked there right after she finished school, she bumped into my father and he, couldn't get her out of his mind until one day, he proposed to her. at first she rejected him because of the social class they were in but to my father's sturborness and madly in love to my mum, she eventually accepted the proposal. their marriage weren't blessed by both sides. my father's side think my mum only here for the money and my mum's side think that she should pick someone from their social class." once again, y/n sighed. "their marriage went well, even if my mum had to leave her family for nice, she was happy and blessed with me, my brother and my sister, where she named one of us with french name, 'amélie colette' meaning hard-working people of victory." y/n ended as she looked at charles, smiling.
"tadaa!" y/n added as charles chuckled at that. "my dad," charles started. "i had to lie to him, right before he died." sighed, charles looked down the dock to the ocean, watching their reflection on the surface of the water. "i told him i got into ferrari when i'm not but wanting him to go in peace, i just had to tell him that but now that i did get into ferrari, i don't have to live in a lie anymore." charles said as he looked back at y/n, who smiled weakly at him. "you're a great son charles, you've made your dad proud of you of where you are now." y/n told him, making charles smiled weakly. "i'm sure he's watching over you, seeing you race a across the world." y/n added as she reached for charles' hand to hold, charles looked down at their hands and immediately intertwined it.
y/n smiled shyly as she looked at their intertwined hands. "being here with you is magical charles, i am happy to be here." y/n said honestly, making charles smiled. "me too amélie." as soon as charles said that, her smile dropped. right, this is amélie and not y/n. y/n pulled away her hand and immediately stand up, making charles confused with sudden reaction. "amélie, what's wrong?" charles asked as he stands up as well and followed y/n to his car. "nothing, it's getting late now and i have a meeting tomorrow." y/n informed to him as she went to the passenger's door. charles unlocked the door and y/n entered the car. "meeting? then you won't be there for tomorrow's race?" charles asked, looking at y/n. "i had to raincheck it charles, i'm sorry." y/n said and without any sound, charles drove back to y/n's hotel.
"thank you." was all y/n said and left out the car, leaving charles speechless. didn't wait any longer charles drove away back to his apartment in confuse.
And now, the moment that everyone has been waiting for, including myself. Or maybe just me...
🎉🎉🎉
The name for this au is called psych ward! By the title, this takes place in a institution that is located in San Francisco, which is a mental hospital for patients to receive more intense care once they are admitted from the hospital. The emotions work here, with joy as the director and nostalgia as the CEO of the ward. Here are all the names of the emotions.
Characters:
(Joy) Joyce Sterling
(Sadness) Sophia Thompson
(Fear) Ferdinand Matthews
(Disgust) Delilah Hughes
(Anger) Andrew Davis
(Anxiety) Annie Hawthorne
(Envy) Evie Carson
(Embarrassment) Eugene Fitzgerald
(Ennui) Emma Beaumont
(Nostalgia) Nancy Walton
...
And now everybody, them!
Everyone works in a different department.
And here are the rest!
God, the light! And I couldn't fit Riley here! No!
Maybe in the next post because one design bothers me and that is Ennui's. Her coat is the one I was being indecisive on what color I should choose the most. Maybe white or a lighter shade of blue would've fit her better. Who knows, maybe I might keep it or redo the whole design later. What do y'all think?
...
This is my first time doing an au out of anything. This whole movie made me feel emotional and it's very special to me, so I wanted to share this one with you. Have a great afternoon!😊
...
(and no, this is not a April fools joke, okay? Don't worry!👍)
