OC Loop Introduction: Part 1

^This is our house! It is based off of the Highwic in Auckland, New Zealand

I’ll be introducing the grounds of the loop in this post, so a lot of photos and some historical information! Next part will be the peculiar who live there

(Please keep in mind that this is one of my DR’s, it is very personal and the peculiars who live there are real people from my CR, so I will be using fake names for them for privacy purposes. Also this is very information based, all of this is basically my script lol)

(‼️All photos are from Pinterest or from the web, I do not own any of these photos and some are not historically accurate as their purpose is for inspiration‼️)

anyways onto the intro!!

🌲✨🕰️🌲✨🕰️🌲✨🕰️🌲✨🕰️🌲✨🕰️🌲

Loop date: April 10, 1968

Location: Auckland, New Zealand

Hidden in a forest near Lake Wakatipu

The Highwic mansion was built by a wealthy European settler family in the late 1800s, abandoned after a tragedy, and later repurposed as the Ymbrynes’ home

the mansion is surrounded by thick forests

Grounds:

Surrounded with lush gardens, a thickly settled forests, and geothermal hot springs

Underground caverns and tunnel systems beneath the mansion for hiding from Hollowgast

Rooms:

23 bedrooms total, 3 spare bedrooms for passing peculiar or new additions to the group

25 bathrooms, one to each bedroom, one in the kitchen and one in the basement

There are 3 main common rooms

There is one large kitchen

There is an inside greenhouse

Basement:

secret exit that opens into the forest for quick escapes.

hidden storage room for supplies and weaponry

Training services such as 1960’s based exercise equipment

Lookout Tower

The lookout tower, accessible via a spiral staircase, offers a panoramic view of the surrounding forest and Lake Wakatipu. It doubles as a quiet retreat or a signal station for emergencies

Large library

Large attic

A literal ballroom (yes I’m extra)

Here are some photos of the inside of the mansion as inspiration:

It’s very extravagant, the way our head Ymbryne enjoys it

Our loop was created by two ymbrynes, Miss Raven and Miss Silvereye, as an escape for runaway peculiars

They chose this location due to the thick forests being able to hide them and let them live as themselves

history time ‼️‼️‼️

Life in 1960s New Zealand:

In the 1960s, New Zealand was a nation at a crossroads, straddling its colonial past and an emerging modern identity. It remained a peaceful, agrarian society with strong ties to Britain, but the decade saw the seeds of social, cultural, and political change begin to sprout. Life revolved around close-knit communities, outdoor activities, and a slower pace of living, with the country's lush landscapes offering both tranquility and isolation.

Cultural Landscape The 1960s were marked by the continuation of British customs, but this was also a time when New Zealand started forging its unique identity. Rugby reigned supreme as the national pastime, and the All Blacks were cultural heroes. Cinema and radio brought global trends to small towns, while the country embraced rock 'n' roll and the counterculture movement spreading from the United States and Britain.

However, New Zealand was not immune to the social upheavals of the era. The Maori population, historically marginalized, began to push for greater recognition and rights, leading to early discussions about the Treaty of Waitangi and land reform. Environmentalism was also on the rise, with growing concern for the preservation of the nation’s unparalleled natural beauty.

Technological Life Daily life was simpler, with rotary phones, black-and-white televisions, and radios being staples in most households. Cars were becoming more common, but in rural areas, horseback riding or walking was still a way of life. Electricity was widespread, but indoor plumbing was still a luxury in some isolated areas.

Peculiar History in New Zealand Hidden beneath the idyllic surface, peculiar life in 1960s New Zealand was thriving in secrecy. The peculiar world, wary of the rising tensions of the Cold War and environmental degradation, found New Zealand’s isolation to be a refuge. Ymbrynes had long identified the country as a safe haven, establishing loops in remote forests, islands, and mountainous regions like the Southern Alps.

The peculiar history of New Zealand was intrinsically tied to its Maori heritage. Some Maori legends spoke of peculiar abilities—heroes who could command the wind, transform into birds, or commune with the spirits of their ancestors. These stories often intertwined with tales of the taniwha (mythical water guardians) and other supernatural creatures, giving peculiar children a place in the folklore of the land.

The 1968 Peculiar Community

The peculiar community faced unique challenges during this time. The Cold War paranoia extended to normals in New Zealand, and any unusual sightings of peculiar abilities risked being mistaken for Soviet espionage or experimental technology. There were wights posing as soldiers, picking through children to find peculiars, making it difficult to trust a lot of people outside of the loop.

Here are some geographically based photos:

(I had to put all the forest-based photos into one photo as tumblr was being mean and I couldn’t upload them individually)

Hello , can you please reblog or publish a post for my campaign? Due to the slow pace of donations, they pass slowly as ice. I hope you can help me. A small amount like $5, $10, or $20 will be more than useful to help me and my family. Thank you for everything💔🙏

‏Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundraiser🍉🍉🍉‼️💔

I am #310 on the Vetted Fundraisers List‼️

‏Right now, donated money is being used to help us survive this war. Food is very expensive and my family has to pay rent for the land that our tent is on. However, I want to save up enough money to evacuate my family to a safer place where we can rebuild our lives. I dream of returning to university to finish my computer science degree. I want to provide a better life for my family than is possible in Gaza. My family and I have many dreams we would like to fulfill after this war. We are grateful to everyone who donated and helps us during this time of suffering.

Thank you for reading ♥️

I have been verified by @apollos-olives, it is in my pinned post.

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

Playlist And Pinterest Board? Say No More!

I was visualizing while using my summertime incense, and I decided to dedicate a playlist to my WR and a Pinterest board, so I thought I'd share it with you guys :D

The vibes are very calm, old money summer, marketplace stroll, walking through the forest, cuddling with animals, cooking in the morning, -late-night campfires, etc if that makes sense

Here is the playlist link (It's on YouTube): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8TRbEpaDVDgBN10VZZuJrL8crYHIQtj&si=O7X8chPu2K7XrLaY

and this is the Pinterest board! : https://pin.it/3ZAFoxZBH

I also decided to make a lil backstory to my WR, I've never done that before so this is new and fun! I wanna script in my CR s/o since I don't want to be entirely alone there, plus cute dates in a fantasy reality? please!!

anyways I hope you guys like these if you see them

Okay then, bye-bye!!

Daily life in a Loopᡣ𐭩 •。ꪆৎ ˚⋅

Daily Life In A Loopᡣ𐭩 •。ꪆৎ ˚⋅

Hello! I thought I would post a day in the life of living in a loop, specifically the September 3rd 1940 loop located in Cairnholm, Wales 🤭

(yes I will be going into the nitty gritty and using time stamps)

7:30 am:

Wake up

Make beds

Get dressed

Head downstairs for breakfast

8:00 am:

(Each ward is assigned a day to cook meals, instead of having a seven day week we made weeks designated for the amount of wards we have in our loop, currently there are 11 (before Vic died, before Jacob arrived, and including myself))

This is how the week goes:

Day 1: Horace

Day 2: Eleanor 

Day 3: Fiona

Day 4: Emma

Day 5: Hugh

Day 6: Bronwyn

Day 7: Millard

Day 8: Enoch

Day 9: Claire

Day 10: Victor 

Day 11: Olive

9:30 am:

Breakfast is over, normally the older kids help with clean up

10:15 am:

We head out on our morning walk, usually stop off at the local library to pick up some books we are interested in for lessons

12:30 pm:

Classes begin, each class is around half an hour, we have the usual mathematics, literature, sciences, human history, health, home economics, and of course peculiar history, blending in with normals, fashion trends in the present world, how to escape from situations, and basic peculiar criteria

Each day the schedule for classes change, so we might have 3 “normal” classes and 3 peculiar classes, the next day we would have different classes etc etc

1:30pm ish:

We have a later lunch/snack

3:30pm ish:

We would finish with classes for the day and have the rest of our loop day to roam, do as we please, or work on homework and projects that we are assigned

6:30pm:

We have dinner, it normally lasts a while since we have a lot of discussions and we all work to clean up afterwards unlike breakfast

7:45pm:

We get ready for bed and come back downstairs to prepare for reset, we find it entertaining to watch and we look forward to it each day

8:30pm:

Loop reset is finished and we head inside to the living room where we read from The Tales, read our own stories (my favorite is Bronwyn’s series that she’s writing, it’s story about a human girl falling in love with a spirit of a witch, the title of the book is called Clairvoyant Love and it’s so cute) and perform our little acting skits for each other, it’s quite entertaining watching Horace and Millard act out Caesar’s death 🤭

9:30pm:

We head to our rooms, lights out is 11:30 so we can still hang with our loop mates or take showers or do basically whatever but we have to stay in the house

11:30pm:

Lights out and sleep for another day in the loop

We do have days where we don’t do classes and do training, we also have a theater class where we practice modern literature as well as practice acting like modern normals in case we have to leave the loop. We make small scripts and our Ymbrynes rate our performance based off of how susceptible we are to being caught as peculiars

Living the same day over and over again has its advantages and disadvantages, one being that you can master a lot of skills, while also battling insanity, thankfully we find ways to make life fun and exciting

if you have any questions or wanna know more I’d be happy to write more about this! It’s one of my favorite topics about my DR, since the mundane portion of my Dr is one of the main reasons I shift there, other than being with my found family, having ridiculously cool powers, and plenty of adventure for a life time, it’s nice to be able to have a schedule and relaxed time

thanks for tuning in!! See you next time :D

From Dream Job to Daily Survival

For years, I was a graphic designer at Awtar Tech, a local company where I found both pride and stability in what I considered my dream job. But the ongoing conflict in Gaza has completely upended my life. My home has been bombed three times, leaving me homeless and vulnerable. The devastation is immense no food, no electricity, and nowhere that feels safe. Every day is a battle for survival, with even the most basic needs slipping out of reach.

Trapped by War, Striving for Education

The war has destroyed not just my surroundings but also the dreams I fought hard to build. My university, workspace, and aspirations were all consumed by the conflict, leaving me in desperate need of a fresh start. I graduated high school with a 91% GPA, but pursuing a fully-funded scholarship felt impossible. Every application required SAT and IELTS scores tests I couldn’t take due to the lack of centers in Gaza. Despite my relentless efforts to find alternatives, my applications remained incomplete without these scores.

Buried Voices, Unbroken Hope: Life In Gaza's Shadow

A Future Out of Reach

Pursuing a university degree is essential to achieving my goals and rebuilding my life, but the costs are steep. Tuition ranges from $38,000 to $96,000, depending on the program. With these funds, I could fully focus on my studies and future career, offering a chance to restore what has been lost.

My only hope now is to escape this ongoing nightmare and find a safe place to start over. However, the financial burden is immense. The coordination fee for crossing borders alone is $7,000 per adult, and when combined with tuition and living expenses, it’s a weight I can’t bear on my own.

How Your Support Can Rebuild My Future

Find Safety and Stability: Escape Gaza and reach a safe haven where I can start rebuilding my life.

Pursue My Education: Enroll in a university to continue my studies and follow my passion for graphic design.

Rebuild My Career: Find meaningful work where I can apply my skills and contribute to my new community.

Thank you for taking the time to hear my story. Please share it with anyone who may be able to offer support. Your kindness and generosity are beyond what words can convey, and I am truly grateful.

(TW:venting)

(TW:venting)

I’m so tired, like so dead tired right now

I’ve gotten sick 3 times in the last 3 months, barely gotten any rest from it because my family somehow always throws endless tasks at me whenever I end up sick, and I’m not allowed to miss school either so I never end up fully recovering

I’ve had 35-40 nose bleeds in the span of 3 weeks, now I have to go to an ENT specialist to find out if I have to get cauterized, which is extremely painful

I keep having my own personal doubts about myself and my own insecurities, like whether I’m good enough, or if me friends actually care for me, etc

I don’t like going deep into my personal life, especially with my family, it’s a very complicated life with them but I love them so dearly that I feel so guilty whenever I feel upset with them

it’s so loud here, every little sound and movement ticks me off, I have an endless migraine and I’m sick of the school nurses looking at me with pity or thinking I’m lying to get out of class

and I’m so fucking sick and tired and being treated like I’m stupid. I’m in all honor classes, I learned how to be a therapist for my family when I was younger than fucking 5, I basically raised my older brother, I work so hard. And then people treat me like I’m stupid in the areas I’m actually working and doing well in, like I don’t know anything. Like I’m a stupid little girl in their eyes and I hate it.

when I finally shut down and tell people how I feel, they laugh and think I’m overreacting or that it doesn’t matter, that everything will be okay

and not everything has been okay, but I’m so thankful for the things that are. I’m thankful for my best friends, my absolutely amazing boyfriend, and family even though they have their problems, my school and my education, my hope in my health getting better, and especially shifting. There are so many good things going on in my life but when I get like this all I can focus on are the bad and negative and the pain and hurt.

I just want to sleep, I just want to rest, I just want to go home, I want to be with my found family, I miss my mom, I miss my waiting room, I miss my pets, I miss them so bad

I almost shifted today, I took a nap and the second before my alarm went off to go to theater I saw my waiting room and almost started balling tears.

that moment made me realize how much I need to be home right now, I need to rest, I need to breathe.

to whomever took the time to read this, I appreciate you for hearing me. I don’t get to express my emotions much, but I appreciate you

take care of yourself, and whomever you are, I love you, you deserve love, and if you feel like how I’m feeling right now, you deserve it all the more <3

Thank you, and good night <3

PUH LEASE TELL US ABT MISS PEREGRINE IN UR DR. She’s my s/o in my own dr and I really just wanna know little facts abt her RAHH

EEEK!!! Thank you for the ask :D

So! Miss Peregrine is my mother in my DR (non-biological), so her personality might differ from your DR as she is your s/o, which by the way, treat her well and give her my love!!

I'm just gonna list stuff out like her hobbies, habits, favorites/least favorites, etc

Her favorite snacks are raspberries, blackberries, and cherries. She LOVES to eat them with herbal tea and biscuits

Her favorite place on the island (that isn't home) would be the sea

She is incredibly good at calligraphy (best believe she will write sonnets in the most delicate style possible)

When she gets upset, her nose involuntarily twitches and scrunches, when she's in bird form she'll scratch her beak with her talons

She does a lot of reading (specifically Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, and Mary Shelley)

She wants to teach us as much as possible to help us if we go to the outside world (contrary to the movie, she feels as though understanding the current time zone is extremely important in case we must leave the loop, so she asks Jacob a LOT of questions to study and be able to prepare the children)

She does have a wine cellar below the house (mainly cherry wine), she doesn't like to drink unless at dinner or when we have guests

She has a firm belief in education of all aspects, so we not only learn book-smarts, but also street smarts (we were all taught extreme self-defense and even had martial arts training) (my personal favorite was learning how to swim in rough waters fully clothed, it was extremely difficult and honestly thought I was going to die but hey, now we are exceptionally prepared)

She loves romance, but specifically forbidden romance or gothic romance (it's her hidden pleasure since she feels she cannot be in a relationship because of her Ymbryne duties (SPOILER ALERT she falls in love with Ms.Cuckoo in my DR and it doesn't affect her role))

She has like 125 candles and a BOAT LOAD of incense, she LOVES the comfort and vibes they bring to the house (her favorites always have cinnamon, oak, charcoal, rosemary, frankincense, and cherry)

She is always cold, like her skin feels warm to the touch but she is always cold nonetheless, so she loves to bundle up and wear in layers

Obviously she has amazing style, like seriously she is always best dressed in every room (besides Horace and myself lmao)

She taught me how to sew, embroider, crotchet, knit, basically everything that involves creation, so now I alter and fix clothes for everyone in the house (including Horace)

She has a lot of recurring nightmares, especially after Vic died, it's one of the reasons she doesn't sleep often

She picks at her skin and nails a lot, mainly when stressed but sometimes when she is zoning out

That's all that could come to mind at the moment! I love her so much, I really miss my mom :(

I hope you enjoyed! Happy shifting <333

I have never related to a post more than now :[

Like I NEED my wings back, I use them for EVERYTHING in my MPHFPC DR

like I would wrap myself up in them when I was cold in the morning, I would carry my friends and take flights at night, just the feeling of my feathers ground me, but without them I feel so trapped

don’t even get me started on the feeling of freedom; being able to fly and feel the wind whip against my face

in my CR I can barely walk in a straight line without tripping(I have a condition where my left leg turns inward when I walk, so I stumble a lot and have to wear specific foot wear to walk straight), my wings made me balanced and I feel so confident with them, yet here I feel foreign and bare

It’s like a phantom limb to me, I instinctively reach for my wings to mindlessly stroke my feathers, or when I’m cold while waiting for the bus all I want is to wrap up in them

ugh I miss it so much :[ I’m so happy I can shift 😭🫶

It's like I can physically feel my wings and horns even tho they aren't here in this reality. It hurts so bad, I can't wait to get there. I niw understand Maleficent's pain when she lost her wings, but with me it's that I can't get them even tho I'm trying so hard :"(
