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.

Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ
This is a shop for miscellaneous codes. I'm certainly not as gifted as some of the folks on our staff team, but I do genuinely enjoy digging around online and learning new things, so I'm willing to prostitute my time out for those among you who like pretty things and don't have the patience to figure out how to code them yourselves.
Here you can request... post templates! postlogs! networking! letter templates! wanted ads! extended profile coding! and just about anything else you fancy. Just be as descriptive as you can about what you're looking for and I'll do my best.
Here's a Request form!
Request: What type of thing you want. Size: As specific as you want, or as vague as you want. Scroll? If the content is bigger than the template, do you want the content to scroll, or do you want the template to adjust to fit? Colors: You can give me a general theme/mood, or pick specific values. Fonts: As with above, you can pick a general feeling for the font, or link me to a specific one you have in mind. Images: You can give me specific images, or give me a name/PB name and let me do the poking around and editing. I cannot edit gifs; if you want gifs you'll have to find them yourself. You can also just specify what size image you'll be using and I can leave it blank for you, if you're having images edited elsewhere. Dynamic Elements: Some of the pieces of your code will be saved on my computer and hosted in a .css file, which means you won't be able to edit them on the fly. If there is anything specifically that you want the ability to change as you go - for example, the font, background color, or image - mention it here! The less you put here, the simpler and more elegant your coding will end up looking! Fun Things: "I'd like this template to be able to..." For example, you may want a post template that formats all speech the same way with one simple tag, like < /h>, or maybe you want text to appear on hover, or you want functional tabs. Dream big, and I'll tell you if it can't be done. :P Other: Any other notes!
These are examples/free to use codes, so feel free to just grab them if you need them. You can credit me or not, I'm not particularly fussed. xD

Ophelia is a well known socialite and is often lauded for her skills as a hostess and her excellent fashion sense. She often feels superior to other women and can be catty with anyone she is not close to. She does a lot of harmless flirting with the menfish, but her heart has been soundly stolen already.
Ophelia was raised a MCHB and was a tomboyish, graceless girl at Hogwarts until she was pulled out after her fourth year. If your character knew her then, you may remember that her family is both odd and tragic.
I am mostly interested in networking her with other friends or frenemies (the latter is more fun!) or anyone who might remember her from her distant past.

J. Alfred is preparing an expedition, and would love to thread with potential sponsors, crewmates, or other interested parties. He would also be interested in either making or reconnecting with male friends. Old Hogwarts schoolmates would be ideal, or anyone generally in his age range and not too judgemental.
I very badly want his former lady love! Check my needs tab!
Alfred is also hurlable, although he's an awkward turtle and very slow to admit to his feelings when he does develop them, so any interested parties would have to be patient.

Lyra is the youngest sister of the late Bennet Potter and the late Minister of Magic Darcy Potter. She dropped out of school during his sixth year to "take care of a sick aunt." While the exact reason she dropped out wasn't common knowledge, anyone who went to school with her could probably have deduced that it had something to do with misbehavior since she was a bit of a wild child.
Lyra mellowed out following her departure from school and took an avid interest in politics. She was engaged to August Echelon-Arnost thrice (roller coaster relationship right there) but I think only once was public knowledge? IDK, ask Beanie. She disappeared in February 1883 and has been presumed dead ever since. She'll be returning to England in 1888.
Lyra has not one but two delightful ads on my Needs tab; go check them out!
For J. Alfred Darrow
FORMER HEARTTHROB. Open to an ACAB woman between 22 - 30. After some degree of romantic relationship in 1881-82, Alfred was under the impression that the two of them were meant to be, but didn't have the financial means to actually propose. He pined after said lady the entire time he was shipwrecked/wandering in the wilderness. Meanwhile, she heard that he had been declared dead in 1883 and entirely moved on. Things are pretty awkward now.
Their past relationship is pretty open from her end. Alfred was very much devoted to her but kept things very close to his chest because that's just how he is; he doesn't like to talk about things that are important to him. She might have felt the same way or might have just been enjoying the attention. Whether he expressed his intention to marry her upon return from the expedition or not is up for discussion!
Presently, things are almost entirely open; she could be married, engaged, courting, or still single. What sorts of interactions the two have already had or may have in the future is also open! She could still have #feelings if you're feeling that and want the drama.
For Lyra Potter
BABY DADDY. Would have been at Hogwarts with Lyra during fall of 1881. She dropped out of school that spring to "care for her sick aunt in the country," aka go have a baby. Their relationship pre/post sex is flexible. Lyra did not tell him she was pregnant, though he may have guessed. He does not know that the baby was stillborn, though also may have guessed that.
For Lyra Potter
SAVIOR. This person "saved" her life by either killing or maiming a vampire who was in the process of draining her, resulting in Lyra becoming a vampire. After the attack, s/he either recognized what was happening and purposefully took her further into the Forbidden Forest/away from Hogsmeade so that she could complete the change, or else thought she was as good as dead and abandoned her somewhere in the woods. I'm flexible. Whatever the case, they either did not recognize her as the younger sister of the Minister, or did not report her whereabouts/fate to anyone.
The event happened in February of 1883 so they would have had to have a reason to be in the Forbidden Forest then! Also, you know, the sort to fight off a vampire.
