Hi friends! Welcome to MJ's networking, where the characters are all some level of Ridiculous, middle class men come in every flavour, and apparently everyone is Bad At Romance. Enjoy your stay.

Contact & Plottage Preferences: The easiest way to plot with me is just by posting here. Don't be shy, I am always up for throwing almost anyone together in a thread! If you'd like to get in touch with me privately, the easiest way is skype or discord; if you don't have those, feel free to PM me on Elias Grimstone. I am the most easy-going about both threading and plotting, always chill with winging things but can work with some level of pre-plotting as long as there's always a little room for flexibility! I do prefer new relationships, particularly romantic ones, to develop organically — in fact, probably the secret to "hurling" with me is actually to just a) join my open thread, I swear; or b) pretend to be throwing characters together under literally any other pretence, I am like a child who won't eat my greens unless they're hidden in something else xD In general, the wants and needs detailed here are not all-inclusive, I am wide open to your ideas!

Mangled to my own ends, but the excellent base coding is all Lady's!

Endymion Dempsey	33 | Ravenclaw | UCHB | Rep 8 | Gringotts Cursebreaker A Dempsey with some chill, Endymion is an easygoing dreamer with no real ambitions in life, unless you count his impossibly high expectations of romance. He could use: ❧ Friends— These could be former Hogwarts yearmates (Endymion was a – slightly distracted – Ravenclaw from 1870-'77; but any gender, ACAB), or current UC/MC bachelors in society or living at Atlantis (not too rakish or purist, relatively nice). ❧ Cursebreaker connections— ACAB, anyone in a cursebreaking or cursebreaking-adjacent career whom he might have met over the years. People who've also travelled, artifacts healers, people who want him to assess possibly cursed family heirlooms, etc? ❧ Hurls— Endymion would love to get married and have the perfect happily ever after. The problem: he doesn't know what he's looking for, besides "true love". I... don't either, so I am happy to throw him at anybody and everybody (female, 17+, ACAB, any rep, debutante or otherwise) to see what happens! ❧ Rivals— ...I mean, if you want?
Estelle Malfoy	23 | Slytherin | UCPB | Rep 9 | Debutante & Sourpuss Probably the least popular Malfoy sibling, Estelle nevertheless has extremely high standards for someone who has, er, no friends, obvious qualities, or prospects. Still, she needs: ❧ Hogwarts yearmates— Aka 1-2 UCPB girls she tolerated/s,and other, less pleasant relationships she might have had with her schoolmates, i.e. any mortal enemies from this period in her life. She also attended PSYR between '88-'90. ❧ Society connections— Estelle usually thinks she's doing excellently in social interactions and being nice, but is really putting her foot in it. Or: she might be perfectly nice for a while, but the moment anything goes wrong she'll cut you like that. ❧ Enemies— You are probably getting the gist of this already. If you need anyone to criticise your comportment, ruin your day, complicate your plots, be the bane of your life, whatever, she could be of use! ❧ Hurls... or possibly affairs?— She wants to get married. She's great on paper, less charming in person; fairly conservative in values and would only dream of marrying an UCPB. Do you want a miserable marriage? I am probably down. I am as equally interested in fail!hurls, in pushing the boundaries and seeing what happens if she ends up liking someone not up to her standards. Also, she writes off a lot of actually eligible men as insincere flirts and finds married men more idk, mature? ~of substance? So if you have an already married/engaged/courting man for her to (awkwardly) crush on, amazing, I'll have fun with that.
Kristoffer Lestrange	21 | Slytherin | UCPB | Rep 9 | Portkey Office Employee Kristoffer likes power, and likes abusing it even more. New to the Ministry, he is looking for: ❧ Friends— with whom he can laze about, bully people, and definitely explore some questionable habits. ❧ Ministry employees— As of ‘91 Kristoffer is working in the Portkey Office (though he would have liked to be elsewhere). Would love work shenanigans of any kind. ❧ People to terrorize— what's new?
Porphyria Dempsey	31 | Ravenclaw | UCHB | Rep 7 | Romantic Poet That's capital R Romantic, people. Porphyria is morbid, opinionated, and an aggressively proud spinster, and could use: ❧ Friends— the more eccentric the better. ❧ Literary types— for friendships or rivalries or long-winded debates, whatever. ❧ People to piss off— she's not, ahem, everyone's cup of tea.
Trystan Selwyn	44 | Gryffindor | UCPB | Rep 6 | Auror Concealment & Disguise Instructor Hi, it's Zeus, king of the gods, fuckboy supreme and drama magnet. He needs: ❧ Family drama— I am more than willing for someone to discover his secrets or for him to find out theirs and see how things unravel. ❧ Society friends— Anyone! Men of the typical UCPB set and some on the less stuffy side for fun times. Trystan does not always act his age. ❧ Affairs— past, present, future, whatever. Married since 1874, his type is "not Ambrosia". If you're female and compliment him once Trystan will probably fall for you. Has a reputation for bastard children, though has been trying to be more sensible and discreet about things in recent years. Any class, any age, any marital status. ❧ Baby Aurors to train!— I am very into Auror-centric threads.
Yassine Bensouda	38 | Beauxbatons | UCPB | Rep 6 | Coach for the Montrose Magpies Recent Moroccan import who coached the World Cup winners to victory and has the ego to match. Would like: ❧ Friends/Enemies/Etc— All the usual connections; he only moved to Britain in the summer of 1890. ❧ Quidditch industry types— Up for a challenge, Yassine plans to bring the Magpies up in the league and would love to sway some talent to the team. Recruits? Rivals? Etc. The Magpies are also in need of new sponsorship! ❧ Less respectable types— to show him around the underground boxing, gambling, drinking scenes. ❧ Ladies to flirt with/UCAB hurls— Technically he's wealthy, pureblood and hurlable, though you'd have to overlook his reputation, general personality, and the fact he has no firm plans to settle down.

Middle Class

Show

Ari Fisk	41 | Hufflepuff | MCHB | Rep 8 | P&PP Healer-In-Charge A responsible eldest sibling and seemingly straight-laced workaholic, Ari could use: ❧ Friends— he has a group of best friends, but he's a loyal, earnest friend to have and is nice to pretty much everyone, so should definitely meet more people! Also very open to exploring past connections / relationships. ❧ Hogsmeade Hospital employees— I'd love to thread him more with his colleagues, and am always available for interesting healer/patient threads. Would love some interesting workplace drama. ❧ Drama— Fisk!siblings? Please burden him with your problems. Or he can burden you with his.
Elias Grimstone	33 | Gryffindor | WC->MCHB | Rep 9 | Broommaker Affable, hardworking and mildly eccentric, Elias shot to fame in 1879 with his first major broomstick, the Oakshaft. He always needs: ❧ Friends— he's an easygoing guy, and a non-discriminatory friend, though probably has good friends in both WC and MC circles, plus UC business acquaintances or customers. ❧ Hurls— all the hurls! MC or WCAB, anyone goes, I'm not fussy (although Elias is, since apparently he's waiting for that special ~spark before he'll consider actual commitment). Would be open to a friends-with-benefits scenario in the meantime, or for him to fall for someone otherwise unattainable. Messy is good. ❧ Trouble?— I am always interested in drama.
Evander Darrow	44 | Hufflepuff | MCHB | Rep 8 | Head of Improper Use of Magic A grumpy-faced, rule-following, socially-awkward Ministry man, Evander could use: ❧ Friends— He probably only has one or two close friends, and sticks to respectable MC circles. Newly married, he may need moral support during this adjustment period. Also: people with pre-Hogwarts children so he can take parenting tips. ❧ Work stuff— Probably works closely with a few Ministry departments, and has been there long enough to have some work-friends and acquaintances. If you need Improper Use of Magic intervention let me know! ❧ The Former Flame— Evander only came close to courting once. Around ~1882, he was ready to make a move but missed his chance, and the woman in question likely moved on and married someone else. She would likely be MC, younger than him, and have still been single in 1882. Her feelings towards him then and now are totally open, but they were at least friendly back then. ❧ Anything else— Complicate his life however you wish <3
@"Jemima Farley"	20 | Hufflepuff | MCPB | Rep 8 | (Disaster) Debutante Sunny but shy and the complete epitome of insecurity, Jemima needs: ❧ Family— find the Farleys here! ❧ Hurling and budding society friendships— Jemima's thoughts are focused on her future and she is incredibly hype for the season, meeting eligible men and getting married. Even so, she's ridiculous and predisposed to embarrass herself, so I want all the awkwardness. Flirting with all the wrong people! Pushing boundaries of propriety! Making a fool of herself! Making a debutante rival intent on destroying her! Pursuing the same gentleman! Etc. See here for more!
Jude Wright	32 | Slytherin | UC->MCHB | Rep 6 | Activist Once a Ministry lawyer and wealthy only son, Jude now spends his time championing an ultra-liberal array of causes with: ❧ The Revs— make one! If you already have one, let me know if you ever want threads! ❧ Social justice allies/converts/enemies— strongly agree with equal rights? Strongly disagree with equal rights? Have no feelings either way but could be convinced? Have a run in with your earnest neighbourhood progressive! ❧ Potential causes— plotting something the revs might support (or not?) or have someone who could use some allies? Let us know. ❧ People from Jude's past— childhood friends or enemies, classmates, people from circles Jude dropped out of years ago, etc. ❧ Got opinions on werewolves?— watch him try to keep a clear head about this one.
Savino Zabini	27 | Incantima | MCPB | Rep 8 | Diviner / Clerk Unlike the rest of his Italian family, Savino is more interested in the powers of divination than in social-climbing. He could use: ❧ New friends— Having moved to London from Italy in 1890, Savino has only recently begun meeting people on the social scene. People around his age, MC or UC. (Probably mostly female or not too bro-ish? I am not actually sure he knows how to be friends with men who have typically masculine interests xD) ❧ Seers & Divination nerds— He would love to meet you and chat/avert disasters together. ❧ "Hurls" / Romantic entanglements— He has no intentions of getting married but his mother loves to harass him about it in hopes he'll marry advantageously. That said, he's still a romantic at heart, and might fall for anyone; at the same time, he is also not averse to a friends-with-benefits situation. YOLO, after all. ❧ Visions— Do you want him to ~See something occurring for your characters? Hit me up!
Theodore Gallivan	24 | Ravenclaw | MCHB | Rep 9 | Auror Dropout, Chudley Cannons Sponsor Theo was a confident, popular, overachieving type in school, and now he's feeling a little lost in life, so he could use: ❧ Friends— new ones, old ones, whatever, past classmates from Ravenclaw or around the same age as him! He mixes equally with bookish or sporty sorts, as long as they're not purist. He is much more emo now so not overly cheerful, either. ❧ Enemies— he likes to hold grudges. ❧ Quidditch sorts— After his father's "death"/disappearance, sponsorship of the Chudley Cannons passed on to Theo. Would always love threads with the team, other sponsors, or the quidditch-involved world! ❧ Bad influences— Also since his father's "disappearance", Theo has teetered on the edge of breakdown, and I am open to continued temptations in this downward spiral.
Tybalt Kirke	27 | Gryffindor | MCMB | Rep 6 | Head of the Duelling Commission Charming class clown turned professional quidditch player turned reluctant young Serious Ministry Man, Tyb needs: ❧ Friends— always! Either from school or more recently, male or female welcome! Tyb is generally a good "annoying extrovert friend who wants to drag you out of your shell." ❧ Work acquaintances— Tyb left quidditch/the Howlers at the end of the 88-89 season, and has settled into his new Ministry worklife. Hopefully he has made some good Ministry friends by now! xD ❧ "Look at him dealing with parenthood"— Somehow he is a husband and a father and mildly insecure about both. Make him feel better or worse about his choices? I would love to explore newly-strained friendships with people whose lives are very different?
Vanity Wakefield	19 | Hufflepuff | MCPB | Rep 7 | Governess One of Clara Wakefield's slew of adopted daughters, Vanity is no good at being left alone. She was pampered as a child and then beaten down by life, and though she works as a governess she secretly dreams about finding a place in society in her own right. She needs: ❧ Wakefields— She joined the family at age six and took a while to fit in, but is probably ride-or-die with most of the girls now, even if they started off shakily? If they're close, Vanity will ask for your opinion on almost everything. She's needy. xD ❧ Schoolmates— ^ The same goes for any friends she made. She started at Hogwarts in 1885, was a Hufflepuff, and left after OWLs. Her electives were Ancient Studies and Divination, and she also took Art & Music. ❧ Local children/Bartonburg neighbours— She did some ad-hoc teaching/child-minding for pre-Hogwarts aged kids in Hogsmeade in the past couple of years. ❧ Prewetts— In January she's starting work at Faustus & Malou's! Anyone who might have reason to visit there or interact with Faustus' children, hit me up >D ❧ Hurls— If Vanity can get out of governessing by getting married, she absolutely will. The problem is meeting eligible men while she's working all the time. (Well, and the rest of it, but first things first. xD) Most likely MCAB men of any kind! She's more interested in security than passion.
William Blake Abrahams	30 | Gryffindor | MCHB | Rep 10 | Drawing-Master, Illustrator & Art Critic "Bram" is a quiet idealist who grew up with a speech impediment and still likes to think before he speaks. An aspiring artist, but better at doing work for other people than finishing anything for himself, Bram needs: ❧ Old friends/acquaintances/bullies— People he might have known at Hogwarts. He was Gryffindor but painfully shy, so didn't have a massive group of friends, and probably had some people who picked on him. After school he travelled and trained in Europe. ❧ Art Things— Calling any other painters whose work he might have reviewed; writers/publishers of novels, poetry or non-fiction who might commission illustrations from him; WC people who might be paid to model for things (!NOT THE ESTER KIND!); anyone who might ever attend open art classes in London; or UC or MC people, presumably debutantes, who would pay for private drawing-lessons at their houses. Bram isn't thrilled about this but needs the money, so pretends to care... bonus points if they are terrible at art so he can be long-suffering about it. ❧ Sanditon Locals— Bram moved there in 1891! He can probably most often be found outdoors sketching or going for swims, and may also run drawing classes there during the season? ❧ Hurls?— he is unattached and at a hurlable age, if not the most wealthy prospect: I think beneath the shyness there is a little bit of a romantic. Although I am assuming he's straight, it's probably too early to say. ❧ Revs— Hello he's "Jehan". He is more quietly progressive than most of his friends, but just as passionate; if he didn't know them from school already he would have started hanging out regularly with them in 1887.

Augusta Robins	28 | Hufflepuff | WCHB | Rep 7 | Holyhead Harpies Chaser Comic relief sidekick, perennial tomboy, and quirky girl-next-door, Gus needs: ❧ Friends— She'll take all sorts! Hogwarts friends, Harpies friends, WC friends, maybe the odd ladylike woman around her age of whom she can be secretly jealous? ❧ Quidditch folks— Teammates, coaches, sponsors and rivals please! She lives and breathes quidditch, so I imagine she knows most of the people in the industry and probably has opinions of most players. She doesn't usually hate people, but I would enjoy a joking kind of rivalry/arch-nemesis fun. ❧ WC neighbours— She lives in Pennyworth with her brother and her ill mother, and would be the sort to be private about her life but super friendly to the neighbours! ❧ Romance?— She's fairly certain she's not "that sort of girl", so nothing would throw her off more than a man showing an interest. Bonus points if you break her heart.
Conall MacKay	55 | Hufflepuff | WCHB | Rep 8 | Magizoologist Grumpy Irishman who loves animals and hates people, seeking: ❧ Old friends— he hadn't lived in Britain properly for a long, long time until '88, but was a Hufflepuff at Hogwarts way back in the day. WC, maybe MC. He takes a bit of patience to deal with and doesn't say much, but if you broke through he'd be extremely loyal and would awkwardly try to reconnect. ❧ New Connections— Irvingly residents! People he can annoy! The 40+ crowd! Magizoology connections & possible acquaintances! Awkward half-arsed romance hurls for a salty, emotionally-constipated widower if that's your kind of thing? ❧ Magizoology plots!— Good for anything creature related!
Ester Montgomery	41 | Slytherin | MC->WCHB | Rep 2 | Nude Model Notorious respectable wife who ran away from her family and shacked up with a pornographer, seeking: ❧ Old acquaintances— Friends from school or respectable men and women from when she was MC. ❧ New friends— She hangs out with a gang of "degenerates", but is open to any connections with artistic or sleazy sorts, and very open for no-strings-attached affairs. ❧ Amusing encounters— There's a whole lot of pornography floating around of her, which could lead to awkwardness if anyone recognises her from that. Or equally, if someone doesn't.
Howell Howell	36 | Slytherin Dropout | WCHB | Rep 9 | Head Dragonkeeper at Avalon Glen Like an odd cross between Conall and Evander, Howell likes dragons, and the countryside, and Not Talking. He will probably be a weirdo in threads. But I'm sure he'll be a whole bundle of fun. Anyway, he could use: ❧ Work connections— Other dragonkeepers. Magizoologists and people who are interested in a creature career. DR&CMC employees. Yarwoods, etc. People with uses for dragon-related products, e.g. dragon heartstring; dragon hide; things for potion ingredients; dragon dung fertiliser for herbologists/avid gardeners, etc. ❧ Market regulars— Howell also sells specialty dragon milk cheese at the market. There might be some Familiar Faces from there? He could also go for a knitting club. ❧ Friends People he doesn't hate— Primarily working class. He only spent a few months at Hogwarts in 1867, in Slytherin. He got homesick and left soon after to work on the family farm. ❧ ...Romance? Does Howell have any romantic history? Does he have any romantic future? Any inclinations at all? Well, he hasn't told me yet, so, uh... open to left field suggestions here, just to see? I make no promises.
Jay Fox	33 | Ravenclaw | WCMB | Rep 4 | Bookkeeper at Fox & Son Once known as Suraj Dalal, "Jay" is a quiet, unassuming loner mixed up with shady sorts, and could use: ❧ The Fox Family— I'd love to thread if we haven't already! Let me know how they get on. ❧ Customers at Fox & Son— It's a shady shop on Knockturn Alley, and Jay does the books and does the night shift if he would ever find you there? ❧ Acquaintances from a former life— Suraj Dalal was expelled from Hogwarts and disappeared off the map after that. Is there any chance you might have know him before then? Is there any possibility you might faintly recognise him now? ❧ Romance?— He's a loner and intensely private but I think he's ripe to start pining after someone he can't have. Female characters of any class, probably age 20-30ish?

Hogwarts

Aubrey Davis	34 | Gryffindor | WCHB | Rep 7 | Pet Hedgehog Former footman living as a hedgehog since 1878, save him. He needs: ❧ Connections to Elijah Urquart— if you're Urquart family, you may remember him from his footman days, but current schoolfriends and Slytherins definitely know "Davis" as Elijah's pet. He's one grumpy hedgehog. ❧ Hogwarts people— I enjoy throwing him about everywhere at Hogwarts again so hit me up if you would ever like a thread there. ❧ Former relationships— Aubrey was last a human a decade ago, but would have had friends - either his age from his first year at Hogwarts or just other WC men and women - and potentially a girl he was crushing on? Aubrey was fairly easy to get along with before he... disappeared from existence. ❧ Ridiculous hedgehog threads!
Carmelina Cramming	38 | Ravenclaw | MCHB | Rep 7 | Ancient Runes Professor A happy-go-lucky nerd, widowed lesbian archaeologist turned overly-enthusiastic professor, Carmelina needs: ❧ Old friends!— female or male yearmates at Hogwarts or thereabouts; nerdy, bookish, academic types (or into languages or art); MC women in general - Carmelina is a chatterbox, so would attempt to make friends with most anyone even if they have completely different interests. After she got married she was off travelling between 1876-1885, so may have fallen out of touch with some & started reconnecting when she came home. ❧ Lesbians — for flings/potential romance! And/or women to quietly fancy, whatever their sexuality. ❧ Hogwarts connections— Runes students and Hogwarts staff, she's very interested in the lives of both.
James Fletcher	14 | Gryffindor | WCHB | Rep 5 | Student & Mischief Maker One of Trystan Selwyn's many unknown bastards, "Hermes" here with the punchable face requires: ❧ Hogsmeade folks— People who would hire him for small odd jobs or special deliveries over the summers, look out for him on the Hogsmeade streets, or who would chastise him for getting into trouble. Billie Farrow is his ARCH NEMESIS. ❧ Friends & Classmates— And other Hogwarts students and professors! Jimmy is making himself known as the most obnoxious child in his year so trouble ahoy! xD If you have had a detention you have probably met him in it. If you are a Gryffindor he is probably the bane of your life. Would love him to find a role-model of an older student, though!

Barnaby Wye

~323 | Hufflepuff | UCPB | Rep 7 | Sarcastic Ghost Barnaby is a Tudor-era ghost who drifts around Hogsmeade singing ballads and generally being annoying, but he would like: ❧ Dead friends— ghosts! Other creatures & beings! ❧ Living friends— Are you into music or the arts? Can you be a patient person? Will you give Barnaby attention? Ding ding ding he likes you and will continue to pester you as long as you don't call the Spirit Division on him. ❧ People to annoy— Are you inclined towards doing none of the above? Excellent, let him annoy you. ❧ A Courtly Romance— Obviously Barnaby... does not have a body, but that does not mean he can't fall in love with a living woman and attempt to ~woo her anyway. This will necessarily be ridiculous but could be a lot of fun.

Ishmael

137 | WC Vampire | Rep 3 | Black Marketeer Shady undead dude who just wants to live his afterlife in peace, seeking: ❧ Vampires— he currently splits his time between the vampire caverns and slums of Hogsmeade and the shady magical areas of London with Monty Morales and a gang of criminals. Has been around Britain again since the 1870s but keeps a low profile and steers clear of the Ministry. ❧ Black market connections— criminals, thieves, pickpockets, anyone who buys/sells/trades in less-than-legal items or substances of any kind. You're his kind of people. ❧ Human bloodbanks— Need to make a quick buck or a bad decision? Ishmael could use you. He'll pay you well for your blood (if you're desperate working class) or drink from you for free, if that's your kind of thrill. He also collects blood donations to pass on to the caverns or other vampires in need.

SUMMER 2025 UPDATES
I have not dealt with the above post in Some Time so you can see my current roster here, I am working on updating profiles, and I have listed everyone below. I am looking for new things and am probably interested in anything you can come up, but I've thrown a few ideas or desires where I have them:

Ari Fisk | Quietly disappeared from society and the Hogsmeade Hospital in January and is currently institutionalised. I am interested in new threads with visiting family or letters, and/or letters from former colleagues/more distant acquaintances perhaps "checking in" or asking his advice on a healing matter, where he is also cagey about what he's up to etc. If anyone in that kinda field is interested in experimenting with plants or potions that may have ~mental health effects Ari may be interested in getting in touch to that effect.

Aubrey Davis | Has adjusted to ~the human world as much as he ever will, lol, and is going out on his own two feet out of domestic service. He is moving to Pennyworth as Jack Dorset's newest weirdo roommate and is starting off with a new job in the Post Office (as long as he can hold it down >.>). So: down for meeting new people in Hogsmeade – he's not good at making friends necessarily but "people he sees regularly in his day to day" are a good start, for better or worse xD I am also interested in him earning some extra cash via some underground boxing or street fighting etc if someone can help rope him into this.

Barnaby Wye | I am always down for fun one-off threads but also especially looking to develop some fun new ongoing relationships like he has with Ford/Adrienne/Tabi. He likes meddling in living people's lives so if you know any of them you will have encountered him at some point or other <3 I would also love him to take someone under his wing (where he feels he could encourage them or teach them something they need help with) and/or for someone nerdy enough to try and teach him about all the Modern Things he doesn't understand where he can be an annoying toddler and ask "why?" every two seconds.

Callista Adebayo | HURLS HURLS HURLS! Despite turning August down she is soooo keen to marry asap so she doesn't Fail At Life, but she and I are essentially looking for someone she doesn't click with at all. Bonus points if he's got perfect stats (UCPB, Good Job) but she actively dislikes his personality... she will encourage him anyway xD I am also always interested in developing her female friendships, she is a good supportive confidante if you have shit going on.

@"Effie Clarke" | I am still looking for an awkward past connection in the girl Effie kissed in school sorted; I am also looking for current lesbian affair hurls, the messier the better! Effie is getting married on the 9th August so I may also require things on the Married Women Connections side shortly after that xD

Elias Grimstone | I would love to thread him with more of his Potts in-laws to get to know them better; Anne Moony if you are still helping him out over the summers would you like a thread?

Endymion Dempsey | Always open for hurling, plus any people in society digging about all his family's drama, he's an easy mark but also never knows what's going on so I think it would be funny xD Also interested in doing some cursed object mini-plots and giving him a professional project to work on.

Ester Montgomery | Listen, I always need more Ester threads – seeking the usual: people in seedy circles in London; anyone in society going through crisis who needs somewhere to land for a night, or mothering in the worst way possible; casual affairs; drug addicts and artisty sorts; maybe some do-gooder or wild optimist who tries to reform a fallen woman; someone she is currently financially scrounging off who wants their money back; funny unlikely connections of any kind~

Evander Darrow | I would love a Nemesis in the form of someone repeatedly using magic Improperly and getting warnings all the time, as well as general Ministry/society things – Evander is definitely conservative in the anti-feminist, anti-werewolf way so I'd like to have uncomfortable debates about things.

Hadrian Nott | Hadrian would love a casual flirty rebound-esque relationship with a woman (ACAB, but probably in and around Society) that he can pretend is more serious than it is so he can determinedly imagine he's not still hung up on his ex-wife. Someone fun and free-spirited~

Ishmael | Also always needs more threads! Do you have a less-than-legal side to your business you need help with? Are you into selling or giving away your blood? Are you anti-vampire as well as anti-werewolf or a member of the Being Division questioning Ishmael about something? I am here for anything remotely juicy.

James Fletcher | Will be back at Hogwarts for NEWTs in spite of his horrible grades and poor urchin vibes bc he has a mysterious benefactor father paying his way, I would love for people to side eye him for this in September xD

Jude Wright | Has come out as very pro-werewolf, in case this was not already obvious xD I would love some more threads re: this, either with him lobbying/protesting/getting in altercations about it, or someone perhaps investigating him a little more closely and stressing him out (since he is not a werewolf, but also often preoccupied on full moons as he is harbouring one) xD

Matilda Farris | Will keep being Mattie, aka causing mayhem and hitting on every man in her vicinity. Would love her to meet more men and to develop some Society friendships/frenemy situations~

Nick Blott | I want him to start pursuing someone for a courtship (feelings do not have to be involved) and/or get involved in some scandalous affair, so more society or seedy encounters are both great.

Philip Rowle | I have nothing particular in mind but always down for more Flip threads with Rowles or otherwise <3 I'd like him to maybe make friends/hang out with people who do not fit the "Boring, Appropriate UCPB" bill, so more on the wild side or of a lower station than him.

Porphyria Dempsey | Phyri is currently a) playing up the Witch Weekly rumours that she's a werewolf, let's do something fun with that and b) trying to play matchmaker for her dear friend Nathalie Jennings. Now, obvs, Phyri has no practice at this, so her methods may be suspect, but I am looking for single UC/MCAB men between 27-50ish she can coerce interrogate entrap in romantic schemes set up with her friend. xD

Tess Whitby | Fam threads, feminist threads, "hey who's the little girl who lives with y'all" threads all welcome!

Trystan Selwyn | Hit me up for auror training thingssss~

Tybalt Kirke | Always needs friends... mostly to meddle in their business, he's chill xD

Has enough to get on with for now, but let me know if you want something particular from:
Connor Sinnet, Estelle Malfoy, Howell Howell, Jemima Greengrass, Phineas Black, Theodore Gallivan

look ANOTHER beautiful bee!set <3

Welp, you know I love me an MJ thread so take your pick!

Ari Fisk - Kons should visit. He still doesn't really know what's going on with Ari, but he knows something isn't right.

Effie Clarke - So, looking at the lonely plot I think Lena could fit with a little retconning or another idea I shall message you about!

Endymion Dempsey - I could give you Lena for cursed objects blowing up in their faces and/or Tamsin for hurling with someone who would like to escape their own family drama.

Ester Montgomery - lol, I'm always thrilled to have any thread with Ester so hit me up if you want some random encounters.

Hadrian Nott - FYI that Hadrian is getting an auntie soon that is a) much younger than his parents and b) probably going to be a fun auntie. They should hang out when Leto Travers exists.

Jude Wright - Should come and visit Morwenna in her jailhouse.

Philip Rowle - We should thread him and Sybilla at the family shindig where both are miserable and/or drunk.

Porphyria Dempsey - Could set up Kons as they know each other and I kind of like the potential for their weird dynamic.

Trystan Selwyn - So the Ambrosia thread is ancient (my fault) and probably over anyway so we should work out where they are/if they've spoken in the last year xD

MJ: still raising the graphics bar as of 2022

Hiiii lovely, long time no plotting <3

I know a few of my characters are inactive, but I'd like to figure out where they're at in the event that I bring them back (I'm slowly trying to re-integrate to charming after a few years of being flaky because #shithappens).

Obviously I have Dionisia, who likely dropped all anger/grudges after Ari's attempt and is now worried about him constantly. What do you think their home/financial situation looks like right now? Dionisia could've gone back to work, etc. once Ari quit, but I'd like to know your thoughts!!

Charity is on my imminent to-bring-back list (probably September? Unless you have home life stuff you'd like to cover with her before she goes back to Hogwarts!) I'm pretty sure she's a fourth year now

For Barnabas: I volunteer my own Barnabas as tribute. He hates ghosts but he would make for a fun person to haunt. He's also got Elsie trying to reform him, so maybe ghost Barnabas has decided to 'assist'? Or just offer commentary.

For Effie: We've already chatted about my own Effie. xD (I'm not matching my characters up with yours because they have the same name, I swear!)

For Endymion: Once he gets accepted, Ahn-Bo Jeong deals with cursed objects, so they could always be going after the same one? Except Ahn-Bo's isn't above board. xD

For Matilda: Not what you asked for but I think she and Poppy MacFusty would know each other. Both live in Irvingly and both have families involved with dragons.

For Tess: Effie May Woodcroft is heavily involved in the feminist community, I'm sure they'd know each other pretty well. Friends, even?

For Tybalt: I mean... Barney is becoming Elsie's pet project. So there's that lol

Barnabas walks with a cane. Set by Lady.

Anne would love an Elias thread! She's pretty sure she's an adult now and totally doesn't need advice from cool adults in her life. She does. She needs so much advice.

MJ about made me cry with this one!
Thread Log | Help Anne Blame the DJ

Hey MJ! I want you for Jimmy Fletcher things. I have two useful people here. Maeve Halloran is in a similar situation, lives in the Slums and has a "mysterious benefactor" as well (different guy though.) - she's in the year below and a Hufflepuff so that could be something to play with both currently and future....y and then there is Greta. Whenever you want her she'll be there to try and reign him in and be annoying. I'm down for anything for her. She might not side eye him but is somewhat convinced he's still at school just to create chaos. and or torture her. (Apparently that's a simpler answer for her).

The other useful connection could potentially be incoming Ariel Sherington whose siblings are half-vamps and she's aware of the signs if you wish to make use of her for Connor for chaos sake. Oh! And Judy Hatchitt who is friends with his sister is back

Thanks go to the marvelous MJ for her sensational set.

Clubs: Flying, Charms, Potions and Transfiguration.
NEWT Subjects: Charms, DADA, Potions, Transfig, Herbology, Ancient Studies, Alchemy.

I have a few things I can offer<3

For Barnabas: I think it would be fun if he was friends with Ritchie Fortescue's dad, who is a ghost and still hangs around the ice cream shop. I have this grand idea of doing some flavors that ghosts can consume for Halloween, so if you're down, Barnabas can totally taste test haha.

Elias and Zin? Granted she's about to be no fun

Jimmy/Cad, because I'd love to see them both being like oh look, you're back.

Phyri: I have Ritchie for hurls, and for the lols, Reg xD

Mattie: I think June and Mattie would make excellent frenemies

Are you student? Learn how to earn house points!

Harrison Knight is, of course, eligible for Mattie and does hope he might convince her that marrying a charming wealthy batchelor might lead to more fulfilling fun than flirtation. Or maybe he could flirt with Callista instead as iirc that is her season rival?

Phineas has another neice starting school in Jocasta Flint and I think she would be his kind of people more so than some of his other relatives in the school. Not sure if he even tolerates the presence of 1st years but she will probably try to make her presence known to him as she has a little bit of Malfoy energy.

For Daesyn Mackenzie there are several of your gents that might enjoy a "fun time not a long time" with her. Or maybe even actually court her because she does know she is meant to get married. Related to that I have been tempted lately that she might get bitten by something nasty. Perhaps Ishmeal might be tempted?

Lauren/Bree, we've chatted <3

Té Barnabas Skeeter
Okay yes Tess would love to be feminist!pals and allies with Effie! She's in Clementine Greengrass' group and publishes feminist materials through her printshop biz on the side! Feel free to start a thread for them if you would like.

Oh Tyb will for sure have Thoughts about Elsie's matchmaking mission, but first of all YES PLZ to Barnaby & Barney xD I can start something for him >D

Mattie would not personally be very interested in Poppy but I can definitely see her getting lumped into "plz hang out with the little girl while we discuss magizoology" and be a sort-of-unwilling older sister type xD

---

Amy Anne Moony yay! I will put a summer starter on my list!

---

Jen Greta Gillenwater I am down for a summer thread if you are, take your pick of Greta or Maeve... or feel free to start something and surprise me xD

---

Gin Gus Lissington
Omg yes to ghostly ice cream flavours, put a pin in that for me for the autumn >D As with a Jimmy/Cad thread in Sept! Zin can mope at the Grimstone house whenever she likes with Daff and occasionally bump into Elias, lol xD Lmk if you do want a thread. Phyri def might show up at the ice cream shop one day to interrogate Ritchie, and I dooo agree that Mattie and June would be great casually competitive debs, but who might enough throwing shade about other people together xD Feel free to start anything that piques your fancy!

Chris Violetta DeCroix
I am enjoying Harrison & Mattie lots, it'll be fun to see how far she can lead him on while being a commitment!phobe and not ruin/ruin her rep. Callista's sister Iphigenia is her Enemy!
Phineas doesn't pay muuuch attention to first years but I would love to see Jocasta perhaps try to make an impression come September. He might tolerate her more than most students, we'll see xD
Ohhh if you want Daesyn to get mixed up with vampires I'm sure I can help >D There is potentially a black market treasure angle or a "sell your blood for thrills" angle for them to cross paths initially?
