Welcome to Charming, where swirling petticoats, the language of flowers, and old-fashioned duels are only the beginning of what is lying underneath…
After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.
Thethe year is now 1895. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.
Complete a thread started and set every month for twelve consecutive months. Each thread must have at least ten posts, and at least three must be your own.

Here we go again!
Apparently I should've made a new character months ago. My life has been chaotic but I haven't felt tethered enough to Charming of late to feel the urge to dive in. Scal is really helping her and having things going on again for my others will also keep this new momentum going. The only way I'm going to get back into the swing of things is if I have plots and threads going so I feel excitement about Charming rather than guilt which is where I've been for a while now.
At the risk of sounding like an ass, please only suggest characters if they have a solid reason to interact, for example: same year, same workplace, same house with a second reason they should interact etc. I get easily overwhelmed with networking responses and then I get avoidant and feel bad because I don't want people to think I don't want to thread with them but my brain shuts down when I open the thread.
AND FOR THE MAIN EVENT!
Ideally I want some plot possibilities because that's going to help sustain me long term, but for now I want each of my characters to have at least three active threads. The more the merrier though tbh! Part of my struggle lately is keeping momentum and the more threads I have going (within reason) the easier it will be.
Here's how I can help you -
Sirius/Ursula obvi
Tig/Cash weird fucked up family connection
Nico/Sirius frands
Nova/Art both love Ben and I think it would be funny?
Charles/Johanna Applegate hurling?
Pick your 3 faves and I am down to start 2 if you start 1!

So my top 3 are:
Sirius/Ursula, the timing is in its prime rn with his birthday.
Tig/Cash - I've missed their dynamic!
Nova/Art - I feel like they're way overdue for an interaction!
I'd also love Nico/Sirius and again the birthday is good timing so if you'd rather swap them in for one of the first three then please do!
I'm also up for the hurling thread at some point and tbh the only reason it didn't make the top 3 is because Charles muse is being a brat as per usual

I can start a thread for them!
Eeee I'd love that please thanks <3
I can start Nova/Art and Nico/Sirius! Realized belatedly Cash has way more threads than Sirius does lol -- can you start Sirius/Ursula
I have nothing ~exceptionally interesting~ but I'm here anyway >>
Don Juan is a manwhore if you want someone to flirt at Tig. Or any of your women. Probably some of you men too. He's really not picky.
Ford is Cash's BFF so maybe potential for an interesting Tig/Ford thread.
Charles/Oz, Mariana/Oz are work connections (since she's on his voting committee).
Charles/Don Juan would be a disaster of a thread frankly but in theory they could interact if Charles was trying to schmooze Dempseys generally for any reason.

I'd be up for any and all of these! tbh :P
I don't know if Charles would go out of his way to schmooze but if he crossed paths with Don Juan on an evening of debauchery of some sort or something it could be entertaining
Violetta and Hesper Gamp have plenty of reasons to interact, Same house and class and now both prefects so would love to do a thread with her. And Vee is going to need a friend when her current ones turn on her haha.

I'd be up for that - did you want to try to thread before school or wait until back?
I think before, perhaps a trip together to the bouique to pick out outfits to go under their robes, and other school supplies. Violetta would like a chat about summer and about being a prefect. I can start something if you like?
Hi Olive, I do not think we have ever threaded so I can not offer pre-established connections but here is what spurred my imagination when reading up on your characters:
Scallion and my new orphaned Hogsmeade rascal Leonard Blank, who is more or less homeless and loitering around the town for summer. You say she has a knack for animals, so maybe she would not mind a boy who would attach herself to her heels and follow her around like a puppy? She can be as ornery as she likes, he will put up with it.
Alastair Rosier is around for honestly anything intense that strikes you fancy for your UCs, most likely Ursula, Antigone or Mariana. He's a devil and can provide ample avenues for bad behaviour with his establishment in London and his criminal enterprises.

Sure, sounds good!

Scal/Leonard - she might mind or she might not, I'm not sure but I'm down to find out!
Alastair - I am absolutely up for something but I don't know where to start! ^^' Ummm Mariana has the least threads of the three and she does have shady dealings of her own variety like her secret poison shop in Knockturn Alley and such. Otherwise if any of the three particularly call to you then let's do it!
