CatCFember - Day 10 - Veruca Salt

We only found out about CatCFember three days ago, so we're a little late to the challenge.

'05 Veruca & Post-Factory Veruca, by Dolly.

CatCFember - Day 13 - Violet B. (Factory Rejects)

Post-Factory Violet had a lot of confidence issues, and one most prominent was regarding her discolouration. For the majority of the planned story, she wore contrasting bright colours (never blue) and covered as much as skin as she could.

Her story- like the others- was very much 'coming to terms with change caused by trauma, and accepting that this is your life now'. She did, eventually; but it took a lot of time, a lot of internalised rejection, and eventually a support system of people who care (and fighting her dad, who was handling his own fear in all the wrong ways).

Charlie Bucket had never been as recluse as his mentor. In fact, he had become somewhat of a face for the Wonka Corporation as a whole. Whether by interview or event, through paper or screen, the world had had the pleasure of witnessing the heir grow into a charming, smart, yet sometimes obsessive young man (though the first trait often masked the last).

That was, until the day he vanished.

The Factory went silent once more: no one ever went in, no one ever came out, and the name 'Charlie Bucket' ceased to appear in any official document. For years, the unsolved mystery of his trace-less disappearance cropped up again and again...

It wasn't until history repeated itself, that the familiar face reappeared: Five Golden Tickets, and an appearance from Willy Wonka himself.

CatCFember - Day 15 - Parents ▸ DID introjects, not fanart

Our system has introjected more of the CatCF parents than it has 'kids', and we'd been meaning to finish their alter cards for tIW for ages...

so we decided to double up CatCFember today. momsquad.

CatCFember - Day 18 - Only the Stars Turkentine/Bill - (written to this song)

'England, October 8th 1971. Two men share a silent moment in the dead of night, just to be.'

The night was dark, and bitterly cold. It often was in their humble town; the winters felt like they grew harsher each year, draining colour the streets could barely afford…

But not this year. This year felt different.

Perhaps he was still recovering in the wake of recent commotion- a candyman can only take so much- but he could have sworn the nights had grown warmer since October 1st. Like something had changed in preparation for a new era, like the streets were less dreary, the frost less numbing on his skin.

But there, then, as he sat in the middle of a pitch-black field, on the most remote hill, Bill did not care whether it was freezing ice nor scorching heat. There, then, as he sat under a sky with no moon, with a man deemed his sun: nothing else mattered.

David rested his head softly against his partner’s shoulder, a tired silence shared between the two. As they stared upon the horizon, both were lost more in their own thoughts than the silhouette sea of barely-legible houses. Other than the factory that never slept, no one in their right mind would be up that late; at least, no one with nothing to hide. No one like them.

The two older men were each other's secret, and only there, only then, in the dead of night on a pitch-black hill, could they find a moment’s safety in eachother’s cold embrace.

No. Out there, only the stars knew.

CatCFember 03: 'candy store' -- [Memento Mori]

Wonka's first shop was not special, at least not in structure nor size. But to the starry-eyed candyman, so full of dreams, anything could be special with a little love and a lot of imagination...
