( canon muse meme ) 1, 3, for Red & Vaggie and 7 forrrrr Agatha? ( no screen shot needed descrip is cool )

questions for muns of canon muses! // @bitofthisandthat​ // accepting

What is the biggest headcanon deviation from the canon material that you have incorporated into the way you write your muse? Why did you come up with it?

MADAM RED ( I assume you mean Madam Red! ).

Madam Red is a character we unfortunately don’t have a lot of depth on, or story that wasn’t relevant to the plot. No info into her personal life outside of a glimpse to the past, nothing to delve deeper into other aspects of her personality. We get that she’s a socialite and clearly capable of being the life of a party, and not to mention she’s armed with crude humor, but everything else is left in the wind.

My biggest headcanon would be that her feelings for Vincent was honestly.. different, than what we thought. Oh, she fell in love with him, but rather, she fell in love with the fantasized, romanticized version of him that her mind had made, something those around her age were prone to do. He was better than any man, he was perfect, he was kind, he was gentle, he was funny he was without flaw and he was in love with her. It was the day she found out that Rachel and Vincent were due to be wed that such a fabrication was torn down, and the reality of the situation really hit her, and the truth that her love for Vincent was actually.. absent. 

There was a fondness there for him, but it was built through having companionship. Those talks, those walks, the way he listened to her and encouraged her ideas. Marriage was the essential duty for a woman back then, down to giving birth to sons, so a girl can easily lose herself to the idea of a fantasized romance to subconsciously cope with the situation more easily and make it more thrilling, which is what Angelina did without even recognizing it.

Really, as it turned out, Angelina just.. cared for him. She heard the men of Phantomhive were charming and they were darling, and vied for incredibly, just as much as the women were, and so she expected to fall genuinely head-over-heels. In actuality, she found a good friend in Vincent. 

There was the heartbreak to deal with of course, the mourning for her idealisms, but when that was processed, she was peppy and she was forming a tight bond with Vincent that honestly went deep. Nothing scandalous, nothing infidel, just purely.. genuine, and platonic. There were rumors, but Rachel understood precisely what was going on and just found it to be the sweetest thing.

She loved Rachel more than anyone and anything, and Vincent was the second. When she lost the both of them, that was what collapsed her world -- not some unrequited romance. She lost her sister, and she lost perhaps the closest person she had to a best friend. 

AND SO BEGINS THE READ MORE BECAUSE IT GETS DARK FROM HERE.

VAGGIE.

She’s a sinner, and some are bad habits she can snap right back into if she isn’t careful. She’s not a “nice girl” who ended up in Hell for no reason – she was a terrible person, and she was a proud one with no intent to change her ways. Life treated her hard, so she decided to make herself into a twisted version of a diamond. She committed infidelity by sleeping with female clients who were married, she sometimes used the five finger discount in stores, she skipped the bill she couldn’t pay for (however, she did tip well), and was responsible for threatening and beating some pretty innocent folk into a pulp who were a witness to anything she did.

Bad habits such as violence is the one sin she is very, very easy to snap back into, specifically when someone is being absolutely intolerable to either Charlie or herself. Stealing is the other bad habit, but this one she’s actually become very in control of and has girded herself from doing. There’s the habit of looking at something expensive and calculating its potential worth, but she’s come so far as to being able to shake herself from the mindset. This came with help from Charlie, who comforts her that there will never be a situation where Vaggie has to steal to survive ever again.

To be honest, I headcanon that Vaggie was Charlie’s first (unintentional) client, and what I think really sold the Demon Princess on the idea that demons can be redeemed. She knew Vaggie during her indulgent days of sin, and she watched how she evolved into being a better person who actually strives to do better. The Vaggie we see (I roleplay) is the end result of long, long work in self-improvement and endless streams of support. She’s more in control of her anger, she’s mellowed her personality, and Charlie’s mined a long-since-hardened sympathy back into the light.

GRANTED, we have nothing confirmed as to why Vaggie ended up in Hell in the first place – plenty of speculation sure, but no hint. This is just what I’ve made up. It adds weight to her (well-reasoned) skepticism of Alastor, “He can’t be redeemed, and he’s likely looking for a way to destroy EVERYTHING we’re trying to do.” – she says this as the first rehabilitated, because she’s been through the ring, and she knows people like him from before and after her fall to Hell.

What is something that was never addressed at all in the canon material that you have independently developed for your muse?

MADAM RED.

Aforementioned; a backstory! We got glimpses, but not enough. I’ll keep one of the main things short that has to do with that: Becoming Jack the Ripper was not the first time Angelina had actually taken a life. A few years before Rachel got engaged to Vincent, the Matriarch of the Durless family was said to have committed suicide, when the reality was Angelina witnessed her father bash her mother’s head in with an iron and throw her from the balcony to sell the story she “cracked her head” from such a fall. 

It was a horrifying secret Angelina had kept to herself, and for good reason, because after Rachel married Vincent and moved out, she killed their father and made it look like a suicide. A “tragic, poetic death”, the Yard would say -- a man driven to suicide by the death of his wife, and taking his life in the same way she took hers, from the same balcony no less.

With no one left, Angelina inherited the family fortune and became the Baroness of Durless. No one is none the wiser, except for Grell, who confirmed that her mother’s death was no suicide --- else, she’d be seen around reaping the souls of London, too.

VAGGIE.

There’s not been enough attention on Vaggie yet for anything to be addressed, unfortunately! But I think the big one I’d have to point out is her eye, which has sparked speculation. Some think she’s a fallen angel, others think it has something to do with Angel Dust.. Me? I personally developed it into involvement with her death.

Alastor was killed with a gunshot to the forehead, and briefly, we see an ‘x’ during one of his glitchy scenes in that very spot, so that leads me to believe anyone with a red ‘x’ on their body carries an indicator into where their killing blow went - if there is any at all. Vaggie has two black ‘x’s, although in the form of fashion, over her chest, and the giant ‘x’ over her right eye. I headcanon these were the three places she was shot when she was murdered – the killing blows. Two shots to the chest, and one right through the eye, which led to a very gruesome crime scene.

For movie or TV muses, what is your muse’s favorite scene? Why? Can you show a screenshot?

AGGIE CROMWELL.

( you get one anyways bc it’s cute uwu ) 

Taking Marnie for her first broomflight. She would’ve been so happy if she could have given Sophie and Dylan theirs, but for what she was able.. It was definitely this, because there is an absolute thrill in seeing your grandkids reactions to their first time in the sky, especially if magic is new to them.

XXX (for Madame Red!)

Send me XXX and I will share a nsfw headcanon about my muse. // accepting!

As a romanced woman, Angelina is monogamous. When she is single, however, she is quite the scandalous woman with just how many.. beneficial partners she has. She knocks heels with those of higher station and equal station, but she does have her personal credence of never going 'round the old bush with those who are of a lower social ranking than herself. The idea of being blackmailed and having her arm twisted into a manipulative marriage is a fear that is all too real, and something she has seen happen before.

Also, no dating in the work place! There is copious amounts of tension with certain doctors and nurses, but nothing she will ever plan to act on.

.. To boot, the woman enjoys a good orgy. She's such a chatterbox and eager to spill the tea on hot news when she herself is also hot news. Go figure!

Madam Red have you ever been tempted to kidnap Ciel out of this life to disappear and never return?

“Have you been entertaining the,” nutty old green bat, “Countess about ‘escapism’? Goodness, I don’t know what’s going on in either of your minds. No, I have not been tempted. There’s plenty of things to keep Ciel flourished and educated here; he already has land under his belt, a comfortable fortune to lie upon, a promising future and an established presence he’s worked hard for, especially given his age. I’m not at all keen on the idea of ripping my darling nephew out of an assured life into some wild, wondrous and fictitious unknown. I can better keep him safe here than out there.” Here, there’s access to medical supplies as well, and her very respected & hard-earned medical status that is not at all easy for a woman to achieve. To abandon that for her nephew would be insane.

... If the Madam could replace someone else with the Watchdog role, however, she would, but that wasn’t precisely the question asked, so she forgoes the details.

“And I do love my darling nephew, but my life is deeply rooted here. I’ve worked so very hard to be where I am. To give that up just to take him away is outrageous, foolish and irresponsible; the financial straits alone would give me gray hairs, and I’m not eager to hide those any time soon, thank you! Do you know how rigorous it would be to earn my way back into the good graces of a different medical field, given my sex? Especially after throwing my title to the wind? Allow me to elucidate you: It would be excruciating and I imagine, in certain areas, involving attempts of sexual degradation. Please, leave these sorts of “runaway fantasy” queries to the Countess; she seems to adore them.”

Jade Gain / Amazonite Comfort and Shade ; Madame Red.

stonework headcanons! 💎

Jade Gain: How well do they manage their money?

Madam Red is a woman of luxury and title! But she’s a woman of intellect, too. As frivolous as she acts, Angelina’s always been a wise cookie who is actually very responsible. Parties hard, but has seen to everything being properly afforded before hand, you know? Her fortune has accrued with her work as a doctor and it is well-locked.

In short, although she is seen with money burning in her hands, there is greater sums locked away. Excellent management! 

Amazonite Comfort: What sorts of things bring your muse comfort in trying times? Are there any habits they have when things get difficult to help cope?

Red wine and imported bourbon is her go-to. It’s an unfortunate, long-term headcanon of mine that Madam Red is a secret alcoholic, and the only ones who knew this side of her was and is Rachel & Grell. Rachel took it to her grave and Grell, of course, keeps it nice and secret, just between the two of them. She drinks heavily during times of stress and has her own little flash stashed away for hard times. 

It’s needless to say this is a downright horrible habit, but it is what she relies on when things get rough. She thinks she’s managing it well, and if anyone discovers this and tries to confront her, she will get confrontational and aggressive about it. It’s possible that deep down she recognizes this is a problem that’s gone far too out of control, but she’s in heavy denial. 

Outside of drinking, she.. really doesn’t have anything that comforts her, and no one (she loved Rachel but she did not want to depend on her). That’s how this game into the mix.

Amazonite Shade: Are they pessimistic, optimistic or somewhere in the middle? Was there anything that happened to them in their life that caused them to think in this way?

Angelina is a pessimist with pretty ribbons. She’ll deliver hopelessness lightly and on a jovial tone, but it’s very plain to see she does not look on the “sunnyside”. She refers to herself as a realist and does not live to give false hopes or expectations, she avoids it like the plague. She’s just never been one to look on the bright side, and it’s been building that way ever since she was young due to events gone terribly wrong, and watching things go right for others - especially Rachel. 

Her philosophy is; “Keep your hopes low to the ground - you can be pleasantly surprised if they pop up like daisies.”
