I've been notoriously flaky this past year and a half and it's basically from a mixture of family health problems + writer's block + my two jobs taking up all of my free time, but I'm craving a creative outlet and I want to get back into the swing of things <3

Some fun updates from My Life:

- I finally have a car! And can drive it!
- I'll be 25 in a few months, which means I've been been haunting this URL for 10 years :P
- I finally settled my lawsuit for my permanently broken left wrist and have been doing therapy so I can type without pain now!

Anyways: I'm going to pace myself this time so I don't get overwhelmed. I'm starting off "fresh" with a new character (Ella!) and then I'll bring back one, maybe two characters every now and then until I can gauge my limit!

That being said:

- Let me know any updates about your characters that you think I should know about (marriages, deaths, births, etc), especially if I played a family member or close friend!
- If you need me for anything in the next month or two or have caught yourself thinking "wow I wish Bree was here so we could tackle this specific topic IC" over the past few months, let me know so I can prioritize them once I get back into the swing of things!
- Give me threads for Ella so I don't fall off again :P

Yaaaaaay all good things, all good things! Welcome back!

Updates on my end;
- Think you caught Sloane's "death" in August, but she ain't gone, she's currently @"Sadie Sinclair" and I think most of their friends are catching on that she may be Sloane? It's slowly unfolding and will pick up in the near future!

- Eugene's engagement ended amiably in September after dragons, he was severely injured and Tilda lost her sister, so they both had too much going on.

- Grace inherited a couple of Australian cousins for a few months Greer Owens and Lorelei Owens, but they've moved out in the wake of Ford's marriage. Still in town, will come to dinner every once in a while.

I think that's the big ones of my current roster.

As for Ella, I don't have any UC ladies of use, except maybe Sadie, but I feel like she and Daff might get along, considering Ella enjoys gardening? Daff's getting married in a couple of weeks too, so is busy, but around!

Greer is also a bit of a social outcast, by choice lol, but they could be new friends too? She works at Gladrags as a seamstress, so easy to get around!

- omg Sloane!! I don't think I'll be bringing Cameron back for a while (if ever!), but it's good to see that she's not ACTUALLY dead!

- Eugene!! Well Helga had her babies in February so he's an uncle two healthy identical Crouch babies, so he's welcome to come fawn over them whenever he wants. Helga probably insisted she "take care of him" when he was injured, even if that just meant providing copious amounts of tea and offering to call a healer whenever he was hurting lmao

For Ella:

- She's UC and a little protective over her status, but she also is smart enough to know to take friends whenever she can find them because the magical community as a whole is not nice to squibs. I think she'd latch onto people who shared her interests because it makes socializing and bonding with them much easier! The level of friendship would obvious depend on lifestyles/proximity but I'm down for both or either!!

Hi love! We have already discussed Crouch Things. As to the others, Maddy is generally vaguely depressed, Clemeintine is a Feminist™, and Rufina is doing Rufina things.

Ha, neither Daff nor Greer may be a good choice currently then, considering the recent ~family scandals.

Sadie however, might be a decent choice; she's not allowed to use magic, so can relate on that front and is also super into gardening and being outside!

Set by Bee <3

Hi! Welcome back! Glad to hear things are improving for you <3

I have no one super useful for Ella, unfortunately. Verity Swann would've been in her year at school had Ella gone. She likely would be a lot more sympathetic to Ella now than in her younger years with all the magic trouble she has now. Even so, I don't see her being warm towards Ella.

As for updates:
- Verity and Ford are fighting post!engagement. Grace would know that they're fighting but not what about.
- Alice is a werewolf now (which I think you knew?) and has since moved to Hogsmeade Hospital. (I saw that you're likely not bringing Cameron back. Just an update <3)

Amazing set by Bee!

Hiiii!!

Beatrice Daphnel is near her age! And so is Octavia Fawley but tavie would not be inclined to be friendly with a squib. She'll be polite but not friendly. And Delphine Hunniford is close in age as well but middle class but is more outgoing than Bea without being elitist like Tavie.
She not active right now but Annabeth Adlard muse is quite intrigued by her. And @locklyn MacCoinnich' would flirt with pretty much any woman if he happened to notice her.

look at the pretties mj made me!!!

Breeeeeee my lovellyyyyyyy <3333 Welcome back you already know my needs as always no rush/pressure, I'm always down to plot out OOC!

As for Ella, I have Phie here! Her family have Evergardens (see Phie's sig), a magical greenhouse, and they also do landscape/lawn/garden & greenhouse design for the wizarding community so Ella would be more than welcome! Her and Phie are around the same age too.

I also have Veronica Gallivan, Helga's sis, but I think we already had a letter thread with them xD

❧ Welcome to Evergardens ❧

Hi love! We have already discussed Crouch Things. As to the others, Maddy is generally vaguely depressed, Clemeintine is a Feminist™, and Rufina is doing Rufina things.

Yessss <3

Flora will be the first student I bring back when I get to that point, and I've already talked to Lynn about bringing Grace back in April for Super Fun Greengrass Things!

For Ella:

Yes for Sadie, then! I'll get something up when I have the chance, unless you have specific ideas? <3

Breeee. <3 Welcome back!

Stephhhh it's been ages! Glad to see you <3

I am just as invested in Ella having frenemies/antagonistic relationships as I am in her having friends!

Also Grace should be returning next month so I am happy to explore whatever is going on there <3

We've DM'd about Phie and Ella, but re: Helga/Veronica: Helga gave birth at the beginning of last month to a set of twins, so she's probably wanted Veronica around a lot!

Ford married, Melody dead, love you lots.

Want to thread Ella with Ezra Applegate ?

Other character updates that you probably care less about:
- Oz is Minister of Magic (did you ever have anyone who cared about Oz??? IDK it seems weird not to mention when speaking of character updates xD)
- Alfred and Zelda have a new daughter
- Topaz ran away from home after Balt and Ruby died (Magnolia Addams)

Please ???

Yes to Ella/Ezra please! Any specific ideas or do you just wanna vibe with some minor chaos? Whatever works!

Also: Edric cared about Oz! Also I need to bring back Dio eventually, I'm v curious about the current state of the Fisks and adjacents.

  

Oohh yes i'm down for Helga/Veronica! I was telling Lauren (Marlena Scamander)that we should get Bee (@"Daffodil Potts") for a Scamader sibling thread, so whenever you're ready we can have the whole (ish) pack present xD

❧ Welcome to Evergardens ❧

If you don't mind putting it before the snow storm on Feb 27th that would be great! She has a plot important thread set during that I need to finish before I can do anything after!

She's only been here since December, and is not officially "out", but is of age and is still going to parties etc. They could have met at any social events in January/February, but as for a thread premise, got nothing specific!
