“When I was five I learned to read. Books were a miracle to me - white pages, black ink, and new worlds and different friends in each one. To this day, I relish the feeling of cracking a binding for the first time, the anticipation of where I'll go and whom I'll meet inside.”

― Jennifer Weiner, Good in Bed.

A NOTE ON ASTROLOGY CHARTS

The MC is the biological father of the father’s side of the family. You can find everything out about the father’s side of the family through the MC.

The IC is the biological mother of the mother’s side of the family. You can find everything out about the mother’s side of the family through the IC.

They still have to be together to make each side of the family. More to come on this idea.

"News is unusual things happening--"

"And usual things happening," said Sacharissa, screwing up a report from the Ankh-Morpork Funny Vegetable Society.

"And usual things, yes," said William. "But news is mainly what someone somewhere doesn't want you to put in the paper--"

"Except that sometimes it isn't," said Sacharissa again.

"News is--" said William, and stopped. They watched him politely as he stood with his mouth open and one finger raised.

"News," he said, "all depends. But you'll know it when you see it. Clear? Right. Now go and find some."

i've seen quite a few posts commenting on how the winx club fandom is like, uniquely racist, and i have to ask: are these people ONLY engaging with the instagram fandom, or have i just blocked every single racist person in the tag? because i know how racist the insta fandom is (oh my god) but like. the tumblr fandom is, in my experience at least, unusually non-racist? like 30% of the total wordcount in this tag is devoted to condemning whitewashing and stereotypes

Noteworthy Characters

In this journey that you find yourself on, you will meet many people and foes. They will influence the many possible branching paths that you can find yourself on;

Will they be your ally? Will they be your enemy?

Or, will they be your family?

------------

Mother (or Mentor):

Evangeline R. Alstone, or June as she prefers to be called, is one of the most beautiful woman most have ever seen, with the most enrapturing azure blue eyes. Her almost blue, raven black hair, artfully frames the sides of her face; with a crown of braided hair that wraps around her head, framing it in perfect proportion and as the rest, aside from her right side swept bangs that rest below the crown, are pulled into an intricate long cascading braid.

June has a passion for helping others and a deep empathy for those who are less fortunate than she. Often found volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens, and it was in fact during one of her volunteering visits that she came across a young child who was starving and alone on the streets. With very little hesitation, June took the child under her wing and brought them home with her.

From that day on, June devoted herself to providing that child with a warm and loving home, as well as an education and a sense of family. She poured all of her energy into nurturing that child and watching them grow into a confident and successful young adult.

Despite the joy she found in caring for them, June knew that she couldn't stay in one place forever. She had her own reasons and duties that she knew she couldn't ignore.

So, one day, she disappeared just as suddenly as she had appeared, leaving the child with a bittersweet memory of a woman who had changed their life forever... Unknowing to the great lengths that child would go to in order to be reunited with her again.

In the words of the Traveler: "Your mother/mentor... the very image of a gentle and beautiful soul. She has the kindest heart i've ever known and a habit of collecting strays, it seems. She appeared suddenly in your life to save you from starvation, she gave you a home, an education and a family. It would also seem like she disappeared just as mysteriously without a trace. Well, rest assured that I will be helping you in your search, just be aware that we won't be the only ones dead set on finding her..."

The Traveler:

(Traveler's face will shift and change as the story goes on, she tends to stick with certain features so you recognise her but it is not consistent) Link

The Traveler is a woman of a mysterious nature and unknown origin. Though, she tends to hint that she was born into a family of scholars and intellectuals who valued knowledge and exploration above all else. And that from a young age, she was taught to appreciate the diverse cultures and histories of the world and to always seek out new experiences.

As she grew older, she began to feel constrained by the rigidity of her family's intellectual pursuits and longed for more freedom and adventure. So, one day she set out on a journey of her own, wandering the lands and seas of the Broken Isles in search of knowledge, and wisdom.

Over the years, the Traveler became a master of many languages and a keen observer of human nature. She honed her skills in diplomacy, strategy, and survival, and earned a reputation as a wise and elusive figure who could appear out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly.

But despite her many accomplishments and her vast knowledge, the Traveler remained humble always eager to learn more. She believes that true wisdom can only be gained through experience and that there was always more to discover about this world and its people.

Rey Abraham:

Rey Abraham Camacho was born into a lower class Castellion family in the outskirts of Castellio's capital city, Cortamez. As a child, he had to work hard alongside his parents to make ends meet, later even having to leave his home and family behind as he was sent off to Romadi’s Luogo Di Servizio for the mandatory labour service that every young Castellion had to undergo.

However, he never lost his strong sense of determination, ambition and sheer hard headedness. As despite the lack of a formal education, Abraham was a voracious reader with an appetite for learning, a strong interest in history, and a natural talent at military tactics.

It was also during his youth that he met the a young Romandi boy, a boy who would grow to become an Archon, Christopher Da Vis. A Romandi commoner like him, and through their shared hardships of working tirelessly with little reward, they quickly became close friends. They both shared a common dream and vision of changing the corrupt governance of their own respective countries, as they spent many nights discussing their ideas and forming a plan of action.

When they were both old enough, Abraham and Christopher rallied the oppressed people of Castellio starting with the ones living in Luogo Di Servizio to overthrow the Acosta family, who had ruled with great cruelty and an iron fist for generations. It was a bloody revolution, but ultimately a successful one. As the common people agreed that the best person fit to rule would be none other than young Abraham, the one who had started it all.

He was then crowned Rey and his family was named as the next Familiar Monarchy, marking the end of the Acosta rule and beginning the reign of the Camacho Familion.

With Rey Abraham at the helm, Castellio underwent a massive reformation, purging corruption and implementing much-needed reforms. Rey Abraham's values of family, self-reliance, faith, honor, and loyalty were further instilled in the renewed Castellion culture. 

He fortified the teachings of the [Placeholder Name] Bible, believing that a strong faith would lead to a strong people. He also strengthened Castellio's military presence, believing that a strong military was necessary to protect the country from any invading force.

Despite what some might call "radical" methods, Rey Abraham's reforms have been widely accepted by the people of Castellio. He has earned their loyalty and respect, and they see him as a fair and just ruler. His close working relationship with Archon Christopher and Romandi has also ensured the safety and prosperity of Castellio.

Archon Christopher:

Archon Christopher's came from humble beginnings as a commoner, born and raised in Romandi's most impoverished location, Luogo Di Servizio. Growing up, he had a strong sense of justice and compassion for those who were oppressed. Of which he developed by witnessing the harsh living conditions of the lower Romandi class in his hometown and the forced immigrant workers of Castellio. He found solace in making friends with the Castellion children who were sent off to perform mandated stewardships in Luogo.

It was there that he met Abraham, a young hot-headed boy who was always there to back him up in a fight; they quickly became friends. Christopher's kind and empathetic nature helped to calm Abraham's impulsive one; or at times encouraged it, depending on the circumstance.

The two of them spent countless nights envisioning how they could make the world they lived in a better place.

Christopher's influence and leadership grew as he included other children in their conversations, and soon, he slowly became a symbol of hope for the mistreated youths of Luogo.

As they grew older, Christopher and Abraham continued to discuss their dreams and aspirations for a better world. They both came to realize that a revolution was necessary to overthrow the tyrannical overseers that oppressed both of their people, and they began to rally Romadians and Castelliones alike to join their cause.

Christopher married his childhood sweetheart Roxanna, and together, they fought for the revolution. With best friend and chosen brother Abraham at his side, Christopher led the charge to overthrow the corrupt rulers and bring peace and prosperity to Romandi. He was crowned the 64th Archon and made Roxanna his queen.

As Archon, Christopher introduced an era of prosperity to Romandi. Art, music, food, drink, and fine crafts flourished under his rule, and he made great efforts to maintain a balance of peace between the different social classes. His greatest dream is to build n education system that would provide learning opportunities to everyone who wishes to learn, regardless of their social class or financial status. He believes that everyone deserves a chance to learn and grow, and that education is the key to a better future.

Christopher's warm heart and love for learning have led him to adopt the ideology of seeing the best in everyone. He is a fair ruler who tries his best to understand and empathize with the needs and concerns of his people. His kind and compassionate nature has won him the love and respect of his subjects, and he is best known by his title given to him after winning the war for the freedom of the weak in Romandi; "The Champion Of The People".

“I adore the way fan fiction writers engage with and critique source texts, by manipulating them and breaking their rules. Some of it is straight-up homage, but a lot of [fan fiction] is really aggressive towards the source text. One tends to think of it as written by total fanboys and fangirls as a kind of worshipful act, but a lot of times you’ll read these stories and it’ll be like ‘What if Star Trek had an openly gay character on the bridge?’ And of course the point is that they don’t, and they wouldn’t, because they don’t have the balls, or they are beholden to their advertisers, or whatever. There’s a powerful critique, almost punk-like anger, being expressed there—which I find fascinating and interesting and cool.”
