Sugar and Spite

Returning after 8-ish years

I remember seeing your username floating around back when I first joined. Glad to have you back!

Post a random fact about yourself.

My music taste is all over the place. My main playlist is honestly a combination of anyone who has ever touched my life, as well as my own songs that I like. I'd like to think that my playlist has something for everyone, honestly. In the car, I can go from Fleetwood Mac to Suicide Boys, sprinkle on a little Jinjer and round it all out with a little Willie Nelson.

Oh, and if you get bored I also have a plethora of divorced dad rock.

"Miles and I have a... complicated history. I guess you could say we dated or whatever back in high-school. I'm still pretty close with his mom, Mary. Truth to be told, I'd rather forget everything that ever happened between me and that stupid fucking boy - but I can't." Lilith and Miles dated for the majority of their high-school careers. While Lilith swore up and down to hell and back again that Miles was 'the one' - he proved her wrong every time that he had the chance to do so. After countless bottles of booze, multiple girls, and long arguments - the couple finally parted their ways when Miles told Lilith that he 'wanted to experience more in life while away at college.' While Lilith may have blown things out of proportion, (she didn't) Miles had done too much damage at this point to come back from. Maintaining a good relationship with his mother, Mary, Lilith considers the woman to be her second mother. The young woman has spent the last few months in Tanner doing nearly everything that she could to avoid Miles. Too bad it isn't working anymore. 𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: ▅▅▅▅▅ 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍: ▅▅▅▅▅ 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍:▅▅▅▅▅

The Witches & Warlocks of Tanner 2.0

Rowan Aspen Gale

((FC: Jack Greystone // Dialogue color: 74BF4C))
“You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.” — Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

┉┈◈◉◈┈┉

Name: Rowan Aspen Gale

_Nickname(s):

• Bear is his one and only acceptable nickname.

Gender: Male. He//Him

Age: Twenty-four // February 19th // Pisces

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual.

Witch or Warlock: Witch

Schools of Magic:

• Conjuration (7): The first of Rowans powers to manifest, he is strongest in the school of Conjuration.
  
  • Rowan has been blessed with electricity, wind, and water control.
    
    • The lightning that Rowan shoots from his hands is light green in color, and has a range of fifty feet. He can also use this electricity as a shield around himself for up to ten minutes. He cannot use the spell offensively and defensively at the same time.
    • Storm Bringer: During intense times of battle, Rowan has been known to be able to combine his powers and start large thunderstorms where lightning strikes his enemies and rainfall makes it hard for anyone to see. He is working on controlling this immense power, as it does take a lot out of him.
• Transmutation (5:) Through transmutation, Rowan can call metals from the earth to him, and craft them into weapons and shields. He can also mend weapons, heal people, and blend in with his surroundings.
  
  • Metal working: Rowan has a sixth sense for knowing when he is around precious metals and gems. He can call them to him, and weld them in his hands to become what he wishes. He can also use them in their raw forms as large shields.
  • Healing: Just like mending weapons, Rowan can mend people. He can stop blood flow, close up wounds, and mend bones. He cannot bring anyone back from a life saving injury, but he can prolong the inevitable.
  • Chameleon: While most transmutations can change the appearance of themselves or those around them, Rowan has been blessed with the ability to blend in with his surroundings. Much like a chameleon, Rowans skin can change colors and textures to make him virtually invisible.

Personality:

Loyal • Thrill Seeker • Kind • Hero Complex • Observant • Territorial • Protective • Daring

History/Bio:

• Born and raised in Tanner Washington, Rowan was the only child in a very loving family. While his immediate household was small, Rowan had a family full of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Holidays were very warm, cozy, and crazy. He has strong southern roots, with most of his family originating from Louisiana, Georgia, and Alabama. Rowans mother was a powerful witch - his father a warlock. The Gale family has never been looked at as the strongest or most powerful out there - but they are useful.
• Rowans school life was easy enough. While he didn't care for his studies, retaining the information came naturally to him and helped him to get good grades. In high school, Rowan was on the football and wrestling teams. He dropped out of wrestling at the start of Junior year to focus on football full time. Rowan stared on the team as an offensive lineman his whole high school career. Girls came and went, but Rowan never really focused on them. Rather than seeking love out, it always seemed as if love was seeking Rowan instead. He never really had much interest in the games that came along with short lived relationships, and chose to focus on sports instead.
• Getting a full ride to multiple universities for an athletic scholarship, it didn't take long for Rowan to turn them all down - much to his parents disappointment. Rowan has worked for his families logging company since the age of sixteen, and saw no reason in going to college to make less money. He put more of his time into his blacksmithing, woodworking and crafts. Eventually, he gained a good enough following online to get some of his pieces sold and displayed in famous peoples houses, museums and the like. He has spent the last few years in Tanner the same way he has enjoyed the rest of his life - peacefully in the outdoors.

Extras:

• Rowan likes to cook in his spare time. While he’s not a pro, he can cook the hell out of fried chicken, and has been unmatched on the grill so far.
• Aside from foraging and woodworking, Rowan also has a green thumb and likes to grow most of what he cooks at home. His home is equipped with solar power, and the yard is sprinkled with a plentiful amount of fruit trees. He also raises his own chickens.
• Drinks on occasion, and has been known to smoke socially. He’s a pretty sober person for the most part.
• Drives a green '57 Chevy pickup truck. He calls it Bessie.
• Owns a six year old black and white bulldog named Sassy. Sassy is basically Rowans child.
• Aside from foraging and woodworking, Rowan also has a green thumb and likes to grow most of what he cooks at home. His home is equipped with solar power, and the yard is sprinkled with a plentiful amount of fruit trees. He also raises his own chickens.
• He can play both the electric and acoustic guitar.

Post a random fact about yourself.

'Hold on 'Til May' is by far from the greatest piece of music out there. However, it still manages to be my most streamed song of March (sometimes), April, and May every year. I always get really depressed right before my birthday - which is in May. So I just think to myself that if I sing along to my stupid little song - I'll be fine - because all I have to do is Hold on 'Til May.

The Witches & Warlocks of Tanner 2.0

Starring: Lilith Montgomery & John Montgomery

____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________

After speaking to Miles, Lilith re-entered the dining room with her eyes carefully focused on the floor beneath her. As everyone around her chit chatted and caught up on the last few years of their lives, Lilith slipped into the bathroom and quickly locked herself into one of the available stalls before allowing herself to fall apart.

Sitting down on the toilet lid, the young woman began to sob.

Lilith’s life had always come with its ups and downs - just like everyone else’s. This last month, however, had been abnormally horrible. This morning just happened to be the cherry on the cake. As she sat there crying as quietly as possible, Lilith did the best that she could to regain her composure as her mind ran wild.

Was Carlisle trying to admit to her what she thought? Why did he want to do it this morning, of all mornings, with a nearly broken nose? Why did Miles choose not to ignore her? Lilith had done everything in her power for the last three years to avoid Miles - and now she had no choice but to face him. The thought nearly made her stomach flip as her right fist connected with the wall of the bathroom stall. Pain danced up her arm, only frustrating her further. Wanting to scream, Lilith controlled her urges and continued to sit there for what felt like a lifetime. Unlocking the bathroom stall, the young woman checked her reflection in the mirror. She focused on her breathing, wiping her face clean.

Once out of the bathroom, Lilith looped back around to the entrance of the dining room. Standing outside of the doorway where hopefully no one could see her, Lilith listened to see if there was any more information given on the Wards before the search party headed out. She didn’t want to face anyone in that room right now - but she did want to be in on what was happening. Hearing Carlisle announce the party, Lilith rolled her eyes, a small scoff escaping from between her lips. That was the absolute last thing that Lilith wanted right now. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a choice on whether she was going to attend or not - all due to her last name. Accepting defeat, Lilith exited the Coven house and quickly climbed into her car.

The trip back to the ranch was quick - Lilith had made sure of that. Speeding down the roads and straightening the curves, the young woman hadn’t even bothered to start her playlist up. Her brain was absolute mush. What she needed right now was someone to talk to. Someone like her mother. The thought sent Lilith speeding even faster down the road, her knuckles white as she gripped the steering wheel. Pulling into the gravel drive, Lilith took another deep breath as she settled on the idea of talking to Grandpa John. He was going to ask her questions about her day anyway.

Parking her car, Lilith approached the front door to the house, her hands shaking. Closing her eyes for a brief moment, she made another attempt to gain her composure before walking in to see her grandfather sitting at the mahogany dining room table - cleaning his rifle.

The scene made Lilith gulp as she walked across the room to join Grandpa John. Sitting down on his right, she couldn’t help but notice that he was already drinking - seeing as there was a bottle of whiskey and half-empty glass already on the table.

”So,” the old man inquired simply, his voice deep.

”You already know about the meating details,” Lilith began. ”Carlisle announced a party tonight, at seven.” Taking another deep breath, Lilith leaned forward, placing her elbows on the table and she interlocked her fingers, placing her chin on her hands. ”And before that, I’m pretty sure he tried to say he had like…. Feelings for me or something.”

Now putting the rifle back together, John chuckled. ”That String Bean who never brushes his hair and followed you around like a lost puppy all summer?”

Nearly laughing herself, Lilith forced back a small smirk. ”Yeah, that one.”

While Lilith did want to talk to her grandfather about her problems, she also wouldn’t have a problem with just keeping the conversation light hearted. Grandpa John had always had a way of making Lilith feel better - rather it be by cooking for her, or making her laugh. He was always there, without fail.

”What about you?”

”Well,” John responded slowly, taking a drink from his glass. ”One of the damn cows decided to go into labour while you were gone, and well,” waving his hand in the air defeatedly, the older man sighed. ”Them ranch hands we hired ain’t worth a shit, and it was breach - so of course I had to go out there and handle it myself.”

There was a long silence as Lilith allowed John to settle into his frustration and pour herself a glass of whiskey. Taking a large gulp from the cup, the young woman focused on the slight burning sensation in her throat for a moment before speaking again.

”Well Gramps,” she sighed. ”I see your breach calf and I raise you… Miles.” Taking another drink from her glass, Lilith sat the whiskey down on the table with a soft thud as she watched John's brow furrow.
”You mean to tell me that the first time that bastard see’s you, he forces you into a conversation?” Lilith could have sworn she saw her grandfather's hand twitch towards his rifle as he spoke.

”It was my choice to stand there and respond,” she retorted. The defensiveness in her voice for Miles pissed her off nearly just as much as it had John.

”I can’t believe you,” he replied, staring at her in awe. Ms. Mary and I have done nothin’ but help you avoid that boy ever since he came back from college. And now you’re gallivantin’ around with the…. With that.” Obviously now frustrated, it was now John's turn to take a drink from his glass.

”I am not gallivanting,” Lilith replied, rolling her eyes. ”Things just… happen, sometimes.”

”Things just happen sometimes,” John mimicked her in a high pitched tone. ”All I have heard from you for years now is ‘I don’t want to talk to him. I don’t want to see him. Blah blah blah.’ I sw–”

”Do you want to hear how it went or not,” Lilith retorted, cutting the man off mid sentence.

Huffing, John took another sip of his drink, rolling his eyes as he did so. ”Well, I guess.”

”He tried to defend Carlisle. Apparently their friends now or something.” Waving her hand dismissively, Lilith took a moment to figure out how to articulate her words as it was now her turn to take a drink. She could see her grandfather growing more angry and curious by the second. ”It seemed like Miles knew more about how Carlisle felt than I did. He was trying to tell me that it was okay to let go of him, and how all he wanted was to see me happy and all of this other shit.” As she spoke, the young woman continued to drink from the glass in front of her. ”I… seeing him was weird.”

”Lot’s of old feelings and such, hm?”

”Yeah,” she sighed, finishing the last of her whiskey.

John pursed his lips in response, taking a deep breath as he focused on swirling the ice cubes around his glass. ”Well,” he began slowly ”I think you’re the only one who didn’t know Carlton -”

”Carlisle.”

”Yeah, whatever,” John grumbled, taking another drink. ”You’re the only one who didn’t know he was in love with ya. As for Miles…. Just stay the hell away from that boy.”

Hesitating for a moment, Lilith nearly laughed as a small smirk crept upon her face. ”He’s uh…” Hesitating for a moment, Lilith cut her eyes towards her grandfather. ”He’s coming for Sunday dinner.”

Watching as John’s jaw dropped to the floor in a flabbergasted expression, Lilith quickly reached across the table to snatch the rifle before John could grab it himself. Leaning it up against the side of her chair, the young woman reached for the bottle of whiskey and began drinking from the contents of the container directly as she listened to her grandfather process his thoughts and emotions.

”Like hell he is!” John shouted, standing up from the dining room chair as he threw his hands in the air, defeated. ”He has the audacity to invite himself to my home and -”

”If you’d just let me expl–”

”And expects me to just welcome him back like we never missed a beat,” he continued, ignoring Lilith. ”Has Mary even approved this? He’s just gonna walk in here like he owns the goddamn place and expect me to make his plate? Stupid goofy ass walking STD motherfucker will be lucky if he gets a glass to drink his water out of, I swear.”

”Gramps I—”

”No, Lilly, you listen to me,” John shouted, stopping in place to point a finger at his granddaughter. ”You don’t get to sit there and ask me to welcome him back and try n’ make me feel sorry for him or tell me that you love him. I am the one who had to pick you up after he left for college, so excuse me for wanting to protect you.” Taking a deep breath, John sat back down beside Lilith as he grabbed the bottle back from her and took a drink himself. Passing it back to her he quickly added: ”He’s not welcome here, do you understand me?”

”I don’t see why Mary would have a problem with it, I’ve already agreed to it, and it’s the most convenient thing for us all. No matter what happens this weekend - you and Ms. Mary won’t have to help me avoid him anymore,” the brunette responded, her tone ever so slightly pleading.

”Fine,” he sighed. ”But one wrong move, and I’ll lay him flat out on his ass.” Taking a gulp of Jack Daniel’s, John handed the bottle back to his granddaughter. “I can promise you he’d rather play checkers on a leopard's ass than mess with me.”

”I know, Pop,” Lilith responded, laughing quietly as the front door opened.

In walked a tall, worried looking young man, a rope in his hands.

”Mr. Montgomery,” he spoke, his voice frantic. ”One of the claves is caught up in the fence again, and well….”

”Spit it out, boy,” John grumbled once more, raising his voice slightly.

”Well, Sir, we can’t get her out of the barbed wire and she’s scratchin’ herself all up. It’s a mess. She keeps kicking and Billy just -”

”I swear, Cody,” John sighed, standing up as he grabbed his jacket off of the back of the chair. ”You’re about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. Come on.”

Walking out with his ranch hand - the conversation beforehand nearly all but forgotten - John left Lilith sitting there alone, a half empty bottle of whiskey still in hand.

Looking around at the silent, empty house before her, Lilith stood up from the table as she took the bottle of whiskey with her up the stairs. Taking another drink as she flopped down onto her bed, the young woman set alarms on her phone for later in the evening.

Lilith had to be at the Coven Party tonight - rather she liked it or not.

For now, however, she decided to drink in peace.

The Witches & Warlocks of Tanner 2.0

Founded in 1806, Tanner Washington has been home to both witches and mortals for centuries. The small town offers a beautiful landscape of mountains, lakes, rivers, and more - and often boasts about being a safe community for residents. Walking down main street, the overall vibe of tanner is old and eclectic. Most of the buildings are worn, and show the signs of Tanners long forgotten history.

Built in 1811, the Coven House was originally used as a hospital before it was converted into the safe house that it is today. The Coven House is used for meetings, research purposes, and other such things. In the garden, you can find many useful plants and herbs to aid you down the magical path. The Coven House has many spare bedrooms that are used in times of need. The Library holds both the town and the Covens history.

Huskers bar and grill can be found located on the top right corner of main street. Originally opened by Husker Neeland in 1906, the bar and grill used to be a speakeasy back in the 1920's. Now owned by his great-great-great-great grandson (Husker Neeland the 5th), Huskers Bar & Grill has more of a dive-bar feel than a restaurant vibe. Neon signs decorate the walls, the leather on the bar-stools needs re-upholstering, and the bathrooms are questionable at best. Usually known to be a good place to get a burger and a beer, Huskers does have higher class dishes on their menu - the question is, does it taste high class?

Jackson's Diner is a favorite place for both the young and old. Opened in 1949, the diner has never updated their aesthetic - and it's done wonders for business. The original jukebox can still be found in the dining room, and the waitresses wear classic diner attire. Known for their fries and milkshakes, Jackson's is also very popular during tourist season.

The Pinewood Social is probably the busiest place in town anytime of the day or year. Starting out as just a bowling alley in the 70's, Pinewood is now the favorite spot for young adults in Tanner, as they have added an arcade and laser tag course over the years. A great place to eat and play all at the same time, Pinewood Social is opened late throughout the week, giving the younger people in town something to do. Friday Nights are Neon Nights.

The Aurora Theater can be found in the middle of the left side of main street, and is open all year round. Built in 1932, the theater has done their best to keep up with the times and update their decor. While giving an old vibe on the outside, The Aurora offers a comfortable and welcoming environment for you to enjoy all of this years blockbusters.

The Stars & Stripes Drive In Theater is open every summer from May-September. A popular hang-out, the tickets and concessions remained cheap over the years. The drive-in plays both new and old movies, offering something for everyone.

Red Oaks Plaza can be found in downtown Tanner, right off of the highway. A large shopping center, this is where most people in Tanner go to do any and all of their shopping for Christmas, birthdays, etc. You can find all of your favorite chain stores hear, and their food court also has some amazing Chinese.

Tanner Central park can be found in the center of town. The park has been around for just as long as Tanner, and has grown overtime with the town. You can find all of your basic park things here - the sandbox, the swing set, the jungle gym, and the like. There's also miles and miles of walking trails - both paved and not - that can be found in the park. Tanner Central Park is also home to the baseball field, basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts.

The Rocky River Ranch Hangout has been around since the 1950's - beginning as a private party spot for John Montgomery and his friends. Over the years, kids from the local highschool have come down here during the summer for a safe place to celebrate. Located on the property of the Rocky River Ranch, you first need to pass through the gates of the ranch. Once inside, drive for about four miles. Upon coming to the fork in the road, take a left. You can safetly drive for another mile before the terrain becomes too difficult for vehicles, as the trail is overgrown with nature. From there, it is a mile hike to the river and lake. The only rule for the Rocky River Ranch Hang-out is respect the land. Pick up after yourselves, respect the animals, and don't kill the plants. It's really that simple. Mess with the nature, and you'll have to talk to Mr. Montgomery himself.
