#mr evans

I stayed up til 5 am on the 25th frantically making a 24 page jily Christmas comic. Have I ever made such a long comic before? No. Am I going to make it regardless? ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Ooooooh I see Mr. Evans as Welsh and Mrs. Evans as Irish!!!

Derwyn Evans, whose name means oak tree, was born to Welsh immigrant parents in the town of Cokeworth. Blathnaid O'Kelly, whose name means flower, was born in Ireland and moved to England to find work. They met and immediately bonded as the two Gaelics in an overwhelmingly English town. They also both found it immensely funny that they had natural names and Derwyn started dating someone whose name means flower when he's the son of florists.

so primrose and ciarán evans are very much your middle-of-the-road white suburban irish parents. primrose is a short blonde slightly nosy pta mom and ciarán is a six foot six redheaded giant that wears kiss the cook aprons. theyre supremely embarrassing about their childrens accomplishments which, as you can imagine, is extremely baffling to regulus as a concept

(also side-note, but lily is the definition of a daddys girl and on the flip side, petunia is 100% a mommys girl. its important to me that you know this)

he first meets them the summer after first year. he befriended lily & snape at hogwarts and convinces his parents to let him visit spinners end (they only let him go bc snape is part of the prince family, and he conveniently left out the fact that lily would be there too)

quite frankly, regulus is terrified of both her parents when he first meets them, but particularly her father. ciarán is big and loud and passionate, all traits that usually mean danger for regulus. primrose unnerves him bc she is very much like his mother, but shes also her complete opposite. she has all of walburgas best traits and none of her worst (well, besides her anger issues, but unlike walburga she doesnt take it out on her children). regulus doesnt like talking to her because it feels like seeing what his mother could have been had she been more… well, motherly

the thing that brings him and ciarán together is astronomy. ciarán loves the stars, he has a borderline obsessive knowledge about astronomy and has a very expensive telescope set up on the balcony. regulus is intrigued by the muggle perspective of the field and eventually they end up having hours long conversations about the topic regularly, leaving lily and her mother to commiserate about their partners being robbed from them

with primrose and regulus, im not sure they ever reach quite the same comfortability that regulus has with her husband (likely bc both reg & ciarán are probably autistic which was an accident that i now stand by). i think he and lilys mom would be brought together by cooking, by which i mean their horrible cooking skills. sometimes they try cooking dinner together and given their strong propensity to burn water plus their equally strong perfectionism, the results are bad

when hes disowned, the only place he can think to go is lilys. as much as he loves sirius, he would rather die than live with james potter (sorry james, love u mate 😔❤️). he shows up in the middle of the night on the knight bus and is immediately welcomed with open arms. by this point, petunia has moved out and lives with vernon so he takes her old bedroom even though 90% of the time he ends up in lilys bed. her parents turn a blind eye to it knowing that he has nightmares and she brings him comfort

on an unrelated note, when effie & monty and primrose & ciarán meet they become bffs. sirius is ecstatic, regulus is tired knowing that hell now have to see three of the four marauders at every family function going forward

mrs evans: sure, but why?

petunia: lily and snape started contacting ghosts and now our shared room is haunted.

First of all there’s Victorian London with murders and supernatural monsters hidden in the shadow.

Then we meet a famous character like Sherlock Holmes and this gentleman whose name recalls Dorian Gray’s. In Penny Dreadful there are as well characters from traditional literature like Victor Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, Dracula, Dr Jekyll and so on.

Abigail has a strong connection with the supernatural world, like Vanessa Ives, and sees Mr Roger Evans as a paternal figure, as Vanessa does with Sir Malcolm Murray.

Mr Evans also has traveled a lot to Africa and has a strong connection with it, like Sir Murray. They both have a butler, respectively Alfred and Sembene.

MC (Irene) is hired by the two of them for her abilities, like Ethan Chandler, to help to reach their still unknown goal.

The monsters are people getting turned by some other monster and obey to a master, like Dracula and his vampires.

Also the scene where MC and the others visit that monster chained in the basement of Mr Evans’ mansion reminded me of Fenton locked up in the cellar of Sir Murray’s.

I don’t know if Romance Club said anything about this, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence😳

So, in terms of genetics this is my best result! The Evans family has given me problems (ofc), mainly due to the diametrically opposed descriptions between the two sisters. Lily is this hottie with wine red hair, bright green almond-shaped eyes... the blonde sister? Horse-toothed, wide pale eyes, long neck. Is that all, really? Petunia can't help but be pretty, come on! Harry is only biased.

Certainly I’ve kept differences... Lily is the spitting copy of her father while Petunia retains characteristics and colors of her mother.
