Hello, Welcome, Hi --

So given that this blog has been around since .... like, literally before the premier of the NBC show because I'm a maniac who saw it at SDCC - Liv has gone through a long, long evolution. Some of you (most of you) have been here throughout that time, but if you haven't - I figured I'd list out some of the more important bits of world building that I've done. Eventually I'll make sure I link this in some kind of searchable fashion, but for now - take a peak under the cut for your basic Liv related facts. Also bear in mind that I can flex this to fit her into non-show canon, and the whole thing is a mesh of research and script reading, as well as bits pulled from the initial comic inspiration.

There is no organization here really, apologies in advance.

AGE: 27 at the time of the pilot episode.

Parents: Georgia Aberdine and Jasper Winters. As best as I can tell, Liv was likely born when they were young, likely around 20-22. Jasper panicked and took off before she was born in an attempt to keep Liv safe, but he stayed close by. The pilot script mentions that he had all of her school pictures hidden in the mill house, so he was keeping an active eye on her - it's why the mill house was build in Atlanta.

We can guess - from info pulled from the pilot - that it's likely that Jasper attempted to block the development of Liv's abilities through magic. My assumption is that Jasper likely died within 6 months of the pilot episode, which is why her abilities suddenly start to appear. Without Jasper keeping that magic active, the block dissolved - hence why she suddenly 'wakes up' as John puts it. It is also possible that Manny put the entire thing into action himself, and found a way to dissolve the block and 'wake' liv up, simply for the purpose of kicking John back into action. This is unresolved by the pilot, but regardless - her abilities are unlikely to go back to sleep just because she's out of the picture.

Liv's abilities: While the pilot puts a heavy emphasis on Jasper's amulet - which Liv leaves behind - the amulet is not the source of her abilities. It simply focuses it. It's likely that leaving the amulet behind slowed things down some, as she's got no one to teach her how to harness the abilities once she leaves Georgia. But the scripts seem to indicate that Jasper was likely the most powerful psychic on earth prior to his death, which means none of that's going to go away just because she left some jewelry behind. Her abilities continue to develop regardless, and likely in a much more confusing fashion. If she goes back to Atlanta, and reclaims the mill house - it's likely she'd learn how to properly use them. If not -- well, god speed to her.

Her abilities seem to vary quite a bit, but I've always boiled it down to:

A. the abilities to see each layer of the universe - ghosts, demons, the worlds underneath ours, above ours, hidden from ours, etc. As viewed in the pilot - the more her abilities develop, the weirder color gets - it seems likely that she loses the ability to see color the way we see it. Things become much more gray toned if she's fully locked in. B. the ability to track and predict trouble via scrying, mostly by using her own blood to pinpoint magical occurrences. This does, unfortunately, require opening a vein. Or many. Magic always comes at a cost, her cost is unfortunately blood. C. She's likely to be a strong magic user - if anyone teaches her how to harness it.

The Mill House/Jasper: Jasper is heavily based upon Baron Winters from Night Force. Baron Winters is .... well, a complicated dude. Possibly connected to Adam and Eve, as well as Lillith and the serpent. His job, more or less, is to balance the forces between Good and Evil (Which is likely a job that Liv would have had to inherit from him). He has an immortal pet leopard named Merlin. Who may actually be Merlin, it's hard to say.

Does this mean that there might be a leopard wandering the Mill House?

Yes. At least if we're playing around in a more comic oriented universe. OR MAYBE HE'S THERE JUST FOR FUNSIES, WHY NOT.

The Mill House is also heavily based upon Wintersgate Manor. The Manor in itself is .... crazy. It serves as a gateway to different locations, time periods, and dimensions. It literally has a doorway to the Garden of Eden in it. If we combine our information, basically this means the house can be anywhere, at any time, in any dimension. It changes as it sees fit, and per the script - holds the largest stock of magical items on earth. It seems likely that Jasper was collecting items for safekeeping and holding them in the house. It has anything and everything you can think of, including a room that you can change to .... well, whatever you desire most at that moment.

Post Pilot: I look at it as two separate universes, one in which she stays put (because lbr, she almost certainly would have had they not decided to write her off) and one in which she flees to California. If she stays, well .... the mill house is hers, and hopefully John gives in and actually teaches her how to use her abilities.

If she flees .... well, it's almost inevitable that she eventually comes back. The pull would likely be too strong, paired with the guilt of leaving, and the fact that she can't contain her abilities even if she wants to. If she DOES go to California, the bottom line is that she'd likely be diagnosed with schizophrenia and medically institutionalized. And even if she's not -- well, there's a heavy dose of PTSD that comes with watching 5+ people die in rapid succession around you just because they happened to be near her. Furthermore, the survivors guilt would pack a wallop, and the pull to finally figure out who she is, and where she came from.

At the end of the day, her destiny is probably inevitable. She'll end up back at the Mill House one way or another. It's just a matter of time.

Constantine shows up at the Millhouse with this and hands it to Liv. What does she do?

PROPOSES MARRIAGE PROBABLY.

Or the more likely answer is cry because it’s a perfect combination of things, and then spend four hours moving it around until she finds an ideal space for it. And yes, that does require four hours of effort, placement is very important.

Would you ever date mana if the opportunity presented itself?

Hmm possibly. If I knew him and we were at that point then yes, but it’s not like I would randomly ask him out without knowing him well enough. Just because I admire him and have a bit of a celebrity crush on him doesn’t mean I would throw myself at him.

She was dating and engaged to a Mana many many years ago and he was someone that she loved dearly. They were honestly such a cute couple and one of my favorite ships for her even to this day.

Tim isn't sure if he has much pla experience to say / do anything considering how little Anons tend to bother him (same goes for the others)

That said he'll step in to defend even a stranger against someone who's clearly overstepped a boundary.
