I got tagged by @rosie-love98 on this:

Tag 9 People you want to get to know better

Thank you and sorry, that it took me so long!

3 ships:

Okay, since I’m tagged on this tumblr account I’ll first go with WINX of course.

1. Driven (Darcy x Riven - Winx Club)

I’ll say it over and over again – they’re perfect. THE POTENTIAL: OMG: If Rainbow had be braver and didn’t focus SO much on Bloom, they could’ve added such an angsty storyline. They build the grounding but never made it to detail and that’s a shame. I may repeat myself, but Darcy was the first one to listen to Riven. To really listen and maybe even the first person after a long time to actually care for him. Of course, she is beautiful and she used that beauty to enchant him but what mattered in the end was that Riven finally found someone who was really interested in him. Someone who saw his ambition and talent. Someone who didn’t see the sparkly outside of perfect Sky and Brandon but who saw this man, who I bet went trough a lot to achieve the right to study at Red Fountain. Finally, someone interested in the one who trained hard to be where was and who wasn’t privileged like other people. Another thing I love about them is the trust and faith Riven had in Darcy who.. in the end destroyed that YES THANKS RAINBOW.  I mean, he never questioned her even though he knew that the Trix’ plans were evil. He did not care about that. Only for her. The betrayal must have been hard. But what about Darcy? How did she feel? Well, we never saw it but regarding her character she might be an overthinker who thinks everything through, who is afraid to show her true self. Darcy seems to be the one who is afraid of losing control and of being betrayed herself. So better destroy than get destroyed? I’m sure she opened up to Riven to some extend and got caught by her own fear of losing control and then overreacted. Maybe. Who know. But the thing is that their end came completely out of the nowhere and I wished the writers had focused a bit more on that instrad of making a cut so that another fairy had a love interest by the end of season 1. It also should have been more focus on their relationship in the following seasons. (I miss the longing stares omg. We could have so much angsty drama!) I think the end of the relationship was not easy for both of them. Darcy lost everything at the end of season 1 and I’m sure she questioned herself a lot after it. Like, what would have happened if etc. And Riven, even more broken than before. What did he think? It’s no secret, that most characters in this show need therapy but these two? Couple therapy maybe lol (now this was long, but that’s when I talk about ships haha)

2. Brella (Brandon and Stella - Winx Club)

I don’t really talk about the fairies here, but I love Brella. They are such a healthy and dynamic couple. Even as a kid I noticed how harmonic and devoted. I loved, that they got so much attention in the show and that they were the harmonic couple and not Sky and Bloom. They had the storyline in s1 I which Brandon disguised as Prince Sky and lied to her. He was afraid, that Stella would only like him as a prince. And yes, Stella might look superficial at first glance but in fact she is not. And I think she showed a lot of strength in forgiving Brandon who lied to her for a long time. She made no big deal of it even though she is a princess who could have easily married or dated a prince. But she chose Brandon. Then there is the Downland arc at the beginning of season 2 and it wouldn’t have worked with another couple. As I said, they are devoted to each other. Stella fkn jumped after him into that abyss without a second thought? Luckily they survived but then Amentia shows up and Stella almost dies because there is no sunlight in Downland. So to save her life, Brandon agrees to marry Amentia who then agrees to let Stella go. I could fangirl over this arc a lot but I won’t because it already gets too long here. Then s3 in which Stella thinks that it might be just her beauty which Brandon loves (which doesn’t make sense after what they went through) but I think the problem Stella has, is that she was always judged by her looks. She was raised to be a perfect princess and let’s face it, before she met Bloom and the Winx, she had no real friends. However back to the show, Brandon knew that Stella was transformed into that Monster but he did not care. Of course not. He was trying to help her no matter what, just to see her happy again. I won’t focus on the later seasons, because they might still have their cute moments there but after all there was too much beef going on between all the couples and I don’t consider these superficial seasons as canon so I’ll stop here. But Brella is chef’s kiss. The best Winx couple followed by Tecna and Timmy and no one can convince me otherwise.

3. Ethel Hallow x Nick Hobbes - Weirdsister College (Do they have a shipping name?)

Since it was rosie, who tagged me I think I have to take a ship which has nothing to do with Winx but which goes more in the direction of Harry Potter and The Worst Witch. And that is an easy one: Ethel Hallow x Nick Hobbes. OMG the potential, the POTENTIAL! Same as driven, they have so much unused potential even though they were on the best way to build an angsty couple with trust issues and all the drama my fangirl heart needs. I love how Nick noticed right away, that Ethel resembled him. She always played the nice and hardworking students but we all know that she was a devious bitch who used every opportunity to make Mildred look bad. And from her perspective, she did nothing wrong. It was always Mildred who stole the show by breaking the rules and being at school but was in the end the good girl who was appreciated. She always played by the rules (yeah not always but she tried her best) and was ambitious and just wanted to be the number one student, yet who interfered? Always Mildred. It’s no wonder she tried everything to get rid of her. Ethel just wanted a happy school life without interruptions. So she wasn’t innocent at all and Nick knew that. In the first episode of Weirdsister College, he immediately checked that he AND Ethel would not have a chance of passing the all-seeing-eye. He tricked Mildred so that she helped him and used that for him and Ethel to pass the ceremony. He’s the typical bad boy who took advantage of Mildred’s talent and gosh, I wished they hadn’t followed this weird storyline he has with Mildred. Because everything was already there with Ehtel: Both students who tried their best to become the top of the class, both power-driven and both unsure in the end. They have so much in common. And Ethel is, after all, the good girl who fell for the bad boy and she KNOWS that he’s doubtful. She does not trust him but is still fascinated by him. And I just love that trope, okay? Ehtel also gives me hardcore rl Darcy vibes and not, it’s not just because they have the same voice actress I Germany. They’re the dark edgy couple I live for. There could have been done so much if they gave us a second season…..It looked like they were giving up on the Mildred/Nick storyline by episode 9 which was again one big flirt of Ethel and Nick. (The potential!) This is why I hate the way they went on the last episode where it’s like “It’s only you who can save him, Mildred” bullshit. I’m doomed for loving couples the writers seem to hate. I could write an essay about them and I probably will on @yaviae somewhen.

Look at them! Ethel's side eye <3

About Severus's Friendship With The Malfoys...:

Would Snape still be friends with them had he lived after the Second Wizarding War? I'm trying to do a fic series where Snape is (magically) brought back to life and reunites with Constance Hardbroom (of the 1998 "Worst Witch") and their long-lost son, Nick Hobbes (of "Weirdsister College") in 2006. Snape and Hardbroom would remarry and have a daughter, Morrigan, in 2009.

With this in mind, how would Constance and Nick view the Malfoys. Constance does think highly of the rich, judging by the Hallows. Yet, it's doubtful that she wouldn't be very thrilled with Lucius or Narcissa (ESPECIALLY when hearing about Cedric Diggory and Charity Burbage). Though I'm not sure how she'd feel about Draco, Astoria and Scorpius. So it's uncertain on whether of not Constance would let Nick or Morrigan anywhere near such a family. No matter how much Severus would try to defend them. Not to mention, Constance would've probably put some blame on Lucius for Severus getting in with the Death-Eaters in the first place.

What also wouldn't help was that, (in my fics), the Rowling Wizards and the Murphy Wizards are of different magical "breeds". The Rowling Wizards are known as the eccentric, powerful and progressive "Imperiums" (or "Barmies") while the Murphy Wizards are the traditional, limited, Muggle-like "Ex-Codices" (or "Killjoys" or even "Faux-blood"). If anything Lucius (and maybe Narcissa) wouldn't think to highly of the "Faux-blood" Constance. The Malfoys would even look down on the wealthy Hallows for it too.

Then there's Nick; knowing him, I doubt he'd be so anamored (if that's the right word) with any of the Malfoys. He didn't even care much for the rich girl, Ethel Hallow. Not even asking her if she can use her wealth/connections to help with his endeavors. With Draco being Ethel's male counterpart, Nick would be annoyed with him, if not more. Then again, since this is post-"Deathly Hallows", Draco would've mellowed out a bit (especially with Astoria and their son). So, maybe Nick would, at least try to get along with Draco and maybe Narcissa. As for Lucius, I can't help but see Nick punch him after an insult too far about Constance, his Ex-Codice upbringing or his friends. Either way, Arthur Weasley would be proud.

Still, what are your thoughts? Would Severus still try to reconcile with the Malfoys? Would Constance and/or Nick stop him? Or would Severus only stay in touch with Draco and Astoria? Would there still be some emotional distance?

Northanger Abbey (2007)

One of my favourite Austen novels. The first book I ever read that made me laugh out loud because Jane Austen has jokes 😅👏🏽

Felicity Jones was the best choice for Catherine Moorland.

I feel like I say “I loved this movie” often - but I really did love this one.

re-release of the new worst witch and weirdsister college dvds!

by SHEER PROVIDENCE i checked ebay for tnww dvds the other day, hoping for a second-hand copy of whenever they released it the first time - i have a dodgy copy from a website i won’t name that was selling them (turns out they’re just pulling stuff from youtube in shocking quality, burning them to disc, and selling them) but this is the real deal!!

this is the first time in the last few years that the new worst witch has been available other than extra crunchy youtube quality, so this is very cool! i’ve actually put off watching it, other than the odd episode, so i’m really pleased. even standard definition quality is a huge step up from youtube and it doesn't have any watermarks. here’s a comparison of the quality!

i got weirdsister college too for my own collection! i never got around to finding a copy so this seemed like a good time to pick it up as well

i believe at least tnww is available on amazon! couldn’t find weirdsister college but it might vary by country

(i will say that these are region 4 but are compatible with region 2 players. make sure your player can handle these! vlc should be fine with it though)

i might take screenshots as i watch and share my thoughts as i've never done a full watchthrough of tnww!

[yaviae]

We should rename episode 9 of Weirdsister College (The Golden Cauldron) into: Nick Hobbes and Ethel Hallow - one big flirt

[quixoticclown]

[theworstwitchforever]

We can make the Worst Witch popular and have a big fan base by word of mouth I hope we can spread the word of how perfect the worst witch is

How long have they been in Sydney?

Evangeline has been in Sydney for five years now in real life and all her life in fake life time.

Job 

She is a student at Weirdsister and volunteers at the local homeless shelter, but money wise, she bartends.

Which suburb do they live in?

Evangeline currently lives in Newtown!

Memories of their real life :

In a world slightly different than this one containing a magical Sydney, there lived a young witch with her mother and father, kind people who had married for love and hardly had a penny to their name, but no regrets about it, and for the first few years of her life, everything was about as wonderful as it could be, until one day, when she was just 8 years old. Her parent's supposed 'best friends', a rather odd couple that usually kept to themselves, grabbed her when she was walking home from school and threatened to kill her parents if she didn't comply with what they needed, something that she agreed to in fear that she'd lose her parents, and in the hope that they would find her, but these two made sure that she wouldn't be found.

In a short few weeks of staying with them, they gave her an assignment in the hopes that they could watch her ability to use sound waves to kill an innocent, something that Evangeline was quick to refuse, begging and pleading, but ultimately, doing what they asked as unbeknownst to her, the woman holding her captive, had the ability of suggestion, easily capable of persuading her to agree to anything she wanted, though the couple still took advantage, if Evangeline refused to kill someone, they'd harm her first, letting her beg and plead that she could endure this pain as long as someone else didn't get hurt, her screams only leaving her throat raw and with no voice since the couple always ignored her.

This went on for years, and at school, if anyone ever questioned Evangeline's injuries, she was clever enough to quickly make a believable excuse, claiming that she was rather clumsy, a statement that was actually true, so it didn't take much for her to appear that way around anyone that she told that excuse to, but otherwise, she never made any real friends in fear that her 'guardians' would use that as an advantage, so she kept to herself in the shadows, rather enjoying the hobby of just people-watching. 

On her sixteenth birthday, it had been as normal of a day as she could get, until she got back to the house the 'guardians' had bought just eight years prior and kept her holed up in, for when she entered the house, she stumbled upon the deceased bodies of her parents, and within seconds of seeing the strange couple just sitting on the couch in front of them, all Evangeline could see was red. Within a minute, the strange couple were dead as well, the latter having accepted that this would be the last straw for Evangeline, knowing that the teen would be seen at the crime as the main suspect despite their deaths not making complete sense, so in their eyes, they had the last hurrah.

Again, with how clever Evangeline could be, she realized that she needed an escape midway through the breakdown she had been dealing with just seconds prior and ran off, grabbing any necessities, but with the lack of friends and family, she only managed to get to a couple of states over, managing to make a new name for herself in the small town as she attended college to get a degree in psychology and got a job as a Waitress. 

What was their fake life like?

The problem I have with Cas Crowfeather pt. #1

Usually, I am not doing serious posts in which I talk about characters I don’t like. I did it for fun on my Winx sideblog on which I did/do a post series in which I bitch about season 5. But that is fun. This is serious business. So why that? I started watching Weirdsister College yesterday again and Cas was just the most unlikeable new character ever in a first episode. But let’s break this down:

We see her first when she rides her bike to college and gets stopped by Ethel’s car. She’s angry and switches the traffic light to red. Fine. If I was in her situation I’d be pissed too. Too bad, that I hate riding a bike and therefore as a car driver hate those who do but lets get back to the show.

The first time she attracts negative attention is when she enters Milly’s room, sees Ethel and immediately starts bitching:

And Ethel (at least seems to be) is really sorry and apologizes and what does Cas do?

Ohh, you blame it on the servants! Girl? Ethel DID not drive! So how is that blaming the servants when the chauffeur maybe has a problem with bicycles? Every car driver has a problem with bicycles.

So Cas stays a total bitch and so Ethel volunteers to make the breakfast in the morning as an offering of peace. For Ethel’s standards that is the nicest thing in the world. Yes, we know she only tries to be on good terms with Mildred so that Mildred draws a picture of the all-seeing eye so that they can all pass. But firstly: Cas does not know that Ethel is a bit fake friendly here and secondly Milly does this for Nick only and gets upset later on when he wants to go before Ethel so that the all-seeing eye will also let her pass. So Ethel actually never had the chance to pass the all-seeing eye with Milly's help because she wouldn't help her anyway even though Ethel acts nice now. So Ethel does not even benefit from acting nice.

So but what happens next? It’s the next morning and Cas says this:

(At least that is what she says in the German dub I don’t really understand her accent very well in the English original)

So. Excuse me? Yes, Ethel failed with the breakfast but she did it anyway! Why does Cas need to bitch here again? It’s obvious, that her character is only there to be Milly’s cheerleader. She has no reason yet to be so negative about Ethel. If she’d know her like Milly, yes, then it would be fine if she mistrusted her but out of nowhere?? That’s just pretty damn uncool from her.

And now look at her face when Ethel passed the all-seeing eye:

What.A.Fkn.Bitch.

So don’t get me wrong. Ethel is a bitch herself and we love her for that. The problem I have with Cas is that she treats Ethel like shit from the start without knowing her. I am also pretty allergic to talking behind someone's back. Cas has zero reason to behave that way and while doing so she proves that SHE is the actual bitch in here.

Sorry if you like her but she is just the worst. A badly written character only there to be on Milly’s side in every situation. I really wished they had brought Maud back. She was a lovely bestie and a well-written character who even had some arguments with Milly. But Cas? Is always there to defend Milly out of nowhere for no reason. Milly does not need a cheerleader. We also don't need someone to bitch about Ethel. We know that Ethel isn't the nice girl next door without Cas being bitchy about her

What f*cks me up too is this scene:

It's just the worst to talk about someone's iconic fashion statement as something bad. Especially calling it childish. I'll never forget wearing two normal bunches (without braiding) at age 14 and my friend telling me that it looked childish. Ew. Eww. I remember Cas also criticizing Milly's fashion style later on and wanting to change it - which Milly does. It is not wrong to try something new or to change one's style to make a step into a new stage of life. But one has to do it on their own. Without people judging. It has to be the own free will. And I hate Cas judging Milly for that. It's okay if Milly wants to change it herself but Cas talking bad about it is not okay.

There will be a part #2 eventually if I have to vent again while rewatching. I love the show and just had to get it off my chest lmao.
