First of all, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who applied or expressed interest to Holocene. We’ve had some really hard decisions to make over the last nine hours (!!! nine, that’s how much we loved these apps) and we really encourage anyone who didn’t get accepted this time to message us if you would like any feedback! We honestly liked something about every app, and we’re so grateful you thought we were worth your time and creative energy because it was our genuine pleasure to read all of your apps.

We’re so sorry about the wait —- we totally didn’t realise it would take this long, but some of these apps were super detailed and we wanted to be as thorough as possible with our decisions. We want to take this opportunity as well to remind you of our recent decision regarding tomorrow’s acceptance for reserves: as it may be our last open acceptances and applications before the group closes, given how many wonderful members we’ve accepted today, we’ve decided that anyone can apply at tomorrow’s applications, whether or not there was a reserve. We’re closing the submit two hours later than initially advertised as well, to try give a little more time, so the submit will be closing for the final time at 5PM PST / 8PM EST / 1AM GMT on Sunday, 16th September. This means that if you didn’t get accepted today, you can apply again tomorrow —- and we really want to reiterate that we encourage you asking us about your apps, because there are some things we loved about all of them, and we have feedback as well which may help. You’re all such wonderful writers, and it was truly such a difficult last nine hours.

And to those who are accepted, congratulations! We can’t wait to roleplay with all of you. I’ll be around for the next few hours as I finally switch gears to my assignments, so I’ll be around for receiving blogs and sending out OOC discord links. If you were accepted and have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send them in, and either I’ll get back to you or Admin Sarah when she wakes up from some well-deserved rest!

Note: a reminder that Hugo Weasley is under reserve, so his current app will be considered at tomorrow’s acceptances.

Congratulations, DRIZZLE, you have been accepted for ALBUS POTTER with the face claim of ALFIE ENOCH! (Please note that Albus is adopted.) We are so excited to get an Albus here at Holocene, and we absolutely love him! I cannot wait to see him cracking jokes about being a keeper whilst simultaneously being the most stressed by all of the nonsense shenanigans his family members get up to. I also think he’ll be an excellent addition to the Sixth Year Slytherins, and I can’t wait to see how he interacts with his cohort as well as the rest of the students in general. Sarah and I absolutely loved and agreed with the reasoning behind his positions and we can’t wait to see his powerpoints hit the dash! Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here! Your requests for ALBUS to be involved with the SHACKLEBOLT INTERNSHIP and a SLYTHERIN KEEPER and PREFECT have been accepted.

Congratulations, MEGAN, you have been accepted for AMIRA SHACKLEBOLTwith the face claim of KIANA LEDE! I loved everything about this application – reading your headcanons about her family was particularly interesting. It was lovely to see how caring and dedicated Kingsley and Mariah are as parents, and it broke my heart when I read about how Kingsley and Amira have drifted apart over the years even though it was understandable. Jane and I were talking about how much we loved that she’s so open about her sexuality and that her family loves her all the same – it’s absolutely not their job to be a model family for sure, but still, it was such a great take. Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here! Your request for AMIRA to be involved with the SHACKLEBOLT INTERNSHIP PROGRAM has been accepted.

Congratulations, CARA, you have been accepted for ARIES ZHENG with the face claim of LIN YANJUN! Ahhhh, we absolutely loved your headcanons, and we’re so excited to see Aries gracing our dash. We’re both so excited that you applied for the sixth year squad connection —- a personal favourite part of your application for me was your family headcanon, and seeing both that sense of family and the ways in which the sixth year squad help him with these important moments in his life, be it coming out or applying for summer programs. Aries is just such a lovely character, and even if he is Too Much for some of his peers, he’s absolutely Just Right for us. We can’t wait to see his creative self gracing our dash! Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here! Your requests for ARIES to be the INTERNATIONAL QUIDDITCH LEAGUE KEEPER and RAVENCLAW KEEPER have been accepted.

Congratulations, MEL, you have been accepted for ASTRID DELACOUR-DUBOIS with the face claim of KRISTINE FROSETH! Reading about her parents’ divorce was absolutely heartwrenching, but it gave such wonderful insight on what her family and home life was like. We really loved your second headcanon about her perfectionism and anxiety as well, and as Jane said, it was such a nice twist on natural brilliance. And god, not only do I love Astrid, I adore her mother Gabrielle! It’s always wonderful to see parents who accept their children’s sexuality without question. I just can’t wait to see Astrid on the dash! Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here!

Congratulations, EM, you have been accepted for CLEO BUNNAG with the face claim of LYDIA GRAHAM! I can’t help but feel as though I have a personal connection with Cleo – as someone who is half Thai, it was really lovely to read about a character with the same ethnicity as me since I so rarely see that in the RPC. But beyond that, she was just such a well-developed and fleshed-out character. I love how she’s just so purely Slytherin and how clearly that’s shown in her protectiveness and loyalty towards her friends. And god, when you described her as a lesbian icon, I was hollering. We’re definitely here for it. And your extras were wonderful as well! I can’t wait to see Cleo on the dash! Your requests for CLEO to be a SLYTHERIN SEEKER and involved with the SHACKLEBOLT INTERNSHIP PROGRAM have been accepted.

(Cleo will be filling Lily’s girl gang wanted connection, but this connection is still open for more characters.)

Congratulations, JO, you have been accepted for DYLAN WILALAI with the face claim of LALISA MANOBAN! Jo, Dylan absolutely broke our hearts. She’s so gorgeous and well-crafted, and we love how much her resilience shone through your app, even as we hate why she’s had to be so resilient throughout her young life. It’s so interesting having a figure skating community here at Hogwarts and in the wizarding world in general, and it was so interesting to read about her life. Sarah and I were devastated reading about how her mother treated her and her werewolf attack —- we’re so glad her friends have been able to help her in so many ways, and we can’t wait to see how she continues to develop!

Congratulations, ARI, you have been accepted for ELIZABETH ‘LILIBET’ MOODY with the face claim of LAURA BERLIN! I really enjoyed hearing the backstory behind her family and their home, I thought it was so creative and interesting. And I loved the headcanon about how she quietly protects the other children from Order families – I think it’ll be really lovely to see a more reserved character in that group too. It was great how you incorporated the technology aspect of our roleplay into our application, and I’m definitely really excited to hear more about her thoughts regarding muggle technology and her inventions! I can’t wait to see her on the dash! Your request for LILIBET to be involved with the SHACKLEBOLT INTERNSHIP PROGRAM has been accepted.

Congratulations, S, you have been accepted for FOALAN THURKELL with the face claim of ALIA SHAWKAT! Jane and I really loved the idea of a squib caretaker apprentice, so we’re so happy you decided to apply! Your application was wonderfully succinct, telling us so much in a short and concise way. The detail about how her grandfather was turned into a hedgehog just for being a squib definitely sounds like something wizards would unfortunately do. And I really liked Foalan’s spunk and tenacity. It’ll be so interesting to see her taking some classes at Hogwarts as well. I’m really excited to see more of her!

Make sure that your theme is accessible and that your characters’ name, house, gender, year, and pronouns are stated somewhere in the description.

Congratulations, MAR, you have been accepted for JOSEPHINE ‘JOSIE’ WASHINGTON with the face claim of KIERSEY CLEMONS! Jane and I really loved hearing about her family in the first headcanon – we felt like it really set the stage for the rest of the application. And god, it just broke my heart to see Josie search so hard for a cure for her father’s illness but just wasn’t able to find one. It makes a lot of sense as magic has its limitations, but wow, I feel so much for Josie. It was really so interesting to read about how much his death changed her, and I can’t wait to see how she develops throughout the course of the roleplay. Your request for JOSIE to be a GRYFFINDOR BEATER has been accepted. Please send in your account to the main by twenty-four hours or send us a message if you need more time. Make sure that your theme is accessible and that your characters’ name, house, gender, year, and pronouns are stated somewhere in the description. Remember that your second character can be on a sideblog if you’d like, but we do not allow MUMU blogs.

Congratulations, CARA, you have been accepted for JUNE GREENGRASSwith the face claim of LANA CONDOR! (Please note that June is adopted.) Wow, I cannot tell you how much I love Daphne and her reasoning on adopting June. Jane and I really loved how much June felt like a teenage girl, who feels and loves so easily and deeply, who can be selfish at times, who has so much life and vitality to her. Like Jane said, she’s a character who just feels so fifteen– but in a good way; let teenage girls be teenage girls! I’m so excited to have her here! I think she’ll make a great addition to the girl squad and the entire roleplay as a whole. Your requests for JUNE to be a GRYFFINDOR PREFECT and involved with the SHACKLEBOLT INTERNSHIP PROGRAMhave been accepted. Please send in your account to the main by twenty-four hours or send us a message if you need more time.

(June will be filling Lily’s girl gang wanted connection, but this connection is still open for more characters.)

Congratulations, MARK, you have been accepted for LOUIS WEASLEY with the face claim of MILES HEIZER! Straight up, as soon as I read that he was a weird combination of Percy and Ron, I started laughing and fell in love. Sarah pointed out how new and refreshing it felt to have a Weasley described as a mix of those two specifically, and I absolutely agree. I cheered at Ginny being his favourite aunt because, honestly, what an icon? Excellent taste. It was so good seeing his relationship with Fleur —- it’s always so wonderful to see parents being loving, accepting and supportive of their children. We’re so excited to see where Louis goes next, and to see him hanging out with his relatives —- especially Al, with their similarities and yet how they manifest in completely different ways and houses! Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here! Your requests for LOUIS to be involved with the SHACKLEBOLT INTERNSHIP and a GRYFFINDOR KEEPER and PREFECT have been accepted.

Congratulations, MAR, you have been accepted for LYSANDER SCAMANDER with the face claim of BOOBOO STEWART! The very first thing Sarah and I said about their app was how much we loved the depiction of Luna and Rolf: it just rang so true, and we could absolutely see how Lysander developed the way they did from their upbringing, which we loved. I especially loved the idea about them working at a vintage shop in Diagon Alley over the summer, and I think they’ll be an excellent addition to the current group of Hufflepuff Seventh Years! Also, that Herbology headcanon, with plants arounf their bed? We stan. Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here!

Congratulations, BECCA, you have been accepted for MATEO ‘TATE’ BECKETT with the face claim of TYLER POSEY! We are so excited about all of the potential of figure skaters in the wizarding world and we’re really interested to see where Tate goes next. I have to say, I already ship Javier and Madeleine so hard, and we loved seeing his personality filtered through the traits he’s inherited from his parents because of the insight it gave us into how he feels about who he is vs who he wants to be. Reading about his journey with Clara was so impactful and we also adored how much he feels, and how deeply, especially in a male muse. Also, your reassurance at the end made us laugh!

Congratulations, DANIELLE, you have been accepted for NOELLE ‘NOAH’ WOOD with the face claim of SOPHIE COOKSON! Ahhhh, a Wood! Unlike Noah’s somewhat (completely understandable) fraught relationship with him, we love Oliver and we’re so excited to have one of his kids on the dash, especially with the potential for her half-siblings. Also, seeing as Sarah and I both play werewolves, we’re so excited to see so many werewolves around —- while her experience with her lycanthropy is complicated, we’re really excited to see how she fits in with the others and whether a pack is viable! Also, I absolutely love your face claim choice and her interest in surfing, especially as we have another surfer here! Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here!

Congratulations, DRIZZLE, you have been accepted for PENELOPE ‘PENNY’ PUDDIFOOT with the face claim of WILLA HOLLAND! Cheerleader Penny! We’re both super pumped to have a character who’s so excited about cheerleading and to have it get the respect it deserves at Hogwarts, both in terms of participation and recognition. We love the closeness of the sprawling Puddifoot family —- we’re a huge fan of family dynamics here, and what you’ve described for Penny’s whole family just sounds like it’s overflowing with love and laughter, and we can absolutely see how Penny would come to be the big-hearted girl she is from that! Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here! Your requests for PENNY to be the FLYER and CO-CAPTAIN of the HUFFLEPUFF and HOGWARTS CHEERLEADING TEAMS have been accepted.

Congratulations, JINX, you have been accepted for ROSE WEASLEY with the face claim of MEDALION RAHIMI! (Please note that Rose is adopted.) Wow, Jinx. Rose sure is something, and we love her. She’s so very much herself, and as intangible and vague as that sounds, I mean that in the best possible way, because I have such a clear idea of her from that app. Her absolute dedication to her family and her unshakeable loyalty — her love of humour and tendency towards self-deprecation — her loudness and bluntness and tendency to take some comments so hard to heart — they all make up such a wonderful, interesting girl, and we can’t wait to see her on the dash! Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here! Please send in your account to the main by twenty-four hours or send us a message if you need more time. Make sure that your theme is accessible and that your characters’ name, house, gender, year, and pronouns are stated somewhere in the description.

Congratulations, EMILY, you have been accepted for SCARLET ‘SCAR’ GREYBACK with the face claim of REINA HARDESTY! (Please note that Scar is adopted.) God, this application murdered me. And then it revived me. I’m just so love with Scar, how she’s proud to be a werewolf and is so unapologetic about who she is and where she’s come from. She’s such a wonderfully crafted character, and I could really tell how much thought you put into her. It definitely shows. I loved the bit of world-building you did in your application about alphas, betas, and omegas, and I’m so excited to discuss and hear more about your thoughts on werewolf dynamics. As Roxanne’s mun, the part about Scar biting Roxanne and then making the decision to turn in Fenrir really gutted me. I can’t wait to see her on the dash! Your requests for SCAR to be a GRYFFINDOR SEEKER and a SEEKER FOR THE INTERNATIONAL QUIDDITCH JUNIOR LEAGUE have been accepted. Please send in your account to the main by twenty-four hours or send us a message if you need more time. Make sure that your theme is accessible and that your characters’ name, house, gender, year, and pronouns are stated somewhere in the description.

Congratulations, EM, you have been accepted for TEDDY LUPIN with the face claim of AVAN JOGIA! (Please note that Nymphadora Tonks was adopted.) Oh, man, did this one hit us in the heart. Sarah and I are so happy you decided to apply for Teddy in the end because we’re absolutely in love with him! I loved the personality headcanon so much —- his childhood section and his dropping out for a year because of what happened to Andromeda were so compelling and heartbreaking as well, but seeing why he was a Slytherin and how affected he is by his parents’ reputations and passing was so moving. Way to just club us in the heart with your gorgeous writing and character. Welcome to HOLOCENE, we’re so excited to have you here!
