witchlighter / semi-hiatus

"Hear these words, hear the rhyme. Heed the hope within my mind. Send me back to where I'll find what I wish in place and time." indie Private, Mutuals-Only Chris Halliwell from Charmed (1998) / Penned by Bramble (21+) / Est. 14.09.2016; Rebooted 24.05.20

[sasslightertm]

Indie mutuals-only/highly selective canon-divergent Chris Halliwell from The WB’s Charmed (1998). Penned by Bramble. Mun/Muse 21+ years of age. TV, headcanon based with influences from the original tie-in novels. Does not follow canon for the reboot, but I do have a verse for the 2018 CW reboot. AU, OC friendly.

Please do not follow/interact w/ me if you interact with magicrested and/or triquetrae/maelindas. I have had bad experiences with the both of them in the past, along with magicrested posting a bullshit callout for me in her rules, and I do not want to see any mention of them on my dash.

// Time to start my annual Charmed rewatch. Maybe this time I'll get up to season 6 so I can get muse for this sassy witchlighter back.

OOC.

This is already in my rules, and no offense, but if you’re a next-gen Halliwell OC who follows me looking to write, I am probably not going to roleplay with you. That is forcing a relationship on Chris that neither I nor my muse have to acknowledge, and if you start a thread assuming that my Chris knows who your OC is, it is a form of godmodding.

I’m extremely picky with Halliwell OCs that I interact with, because a lot of them tend to be overpowered AF with a super-special destiny, or inherit some form of the Power of Three, and that is not my headcanon and personal fanon for Chris.

me, dead-eyed: words cannot describe how much I simply Do Not Care about the Shannen-Alyssa / Rose-Alyssa-Holly feud. It's been 20+ years. I'm here for the characters, not the BTS drama with the actresses. Let it the fuck go already.

CHRIS HALLIWELL IS CANONICALLY ASEXUAL.

if you listen closely you can hear me shrieking into the void

Wait are you an active Chris writer????

// Roleplayer, yes. Though I do have a sideblog where I write Chris-centric fic and imagines.

This blog is on low activity / semi-hiatus until I get to season 6 in my Charmed rewatch and/or get muse for Chris back.

If you ever want to write let me know my muse for Melinda is huge

[sasslightertm]

Sure! I have plenty of open starters for you to go through, if you want. Or you can always send my Chris memes through the inbox.

Regarding Melinda Halliwell

It is my general headcanon that Melinda Halliwell doesn't exist in the dark/unchanged future where Wyatt becomes evil and takes over the magical and mortal worlds, but she does exist in the changed future / post-season 8 timeline. (This is made canon in tie-in material, both the novel series and the comics. Chris and Wyatt having a sister is directly shown and referenced in the s7 novel Leo Rising as well as the s9 - s10 comics.)

For threads set in the dark future, however, I am 100% willing to work out AUs where Melinda does exist as the younger sister of Wyatt and Chris.

However, as far as what we know from canon in "Chris Crossed", there is no resistance against Wyatt. Or if there is, Chris sure as hell is not the one leading it.

I honestly can't tell if Christy was genuinely evil or if she was truly brainwashed. Part of me says brainwashed because she had her good moments but she feels so manipulative by the end of the season that the rest of me says Evil.

[sasslightertm]

// Both? I mean, she was kidnapped as a very young girl and was raised by demons in the Underworld for roughly twenty years, completely cut off from the mortal realm. Obviously, the show didn't touch on it that well, but that clearly would have had adverse effects on both her psyche and sense of morality.

[simply-ellas-stuff]

I can see both, I just wish we'd had more time to actually explore if she had a chance to unlearn it all, to be better and no just the triad's weapon...

[sasslightertm]

Same.

Yeah, there's fanfic, but I don't know of that many Christy-centric fics? (Mostly because I don't seek it out, and the Jenkins sisters are roughly Charmed's equivalent of Scrappy-Doo.) And fic isn't the same as it being canon.

I’m going to be very very blunt here:

I am not writing Chris solely so your muse can fuck the pretty witchlighter.

He’s grey-asexual with a low sex drive and varies between being sex-neutral and sex-repulsed.

If sex is all you’re following my Chris for, go find another Chris roleplayer who writes him as allosexual. There’s more than enough of them on Tumblr.

[sasslightertm]

The two exceptions to this are:

mirrorverse Darklighter!Chris (he’s bisexual in that verse with a high sex drive)

werepanther!Chris AU verse (bc leopards are very temperamental and moody and horny; he’s still greyace but his leopard causes him to have a higher sex drive)

[sasslightertm]

I noticed your bio said Rebooted. I had a curiosity thought :) hope this is okay. How do you think Chris would fair against the new Witches in the Reboot; the Vera-Vaughns and later Kaela Danso. I think he would be cool to see them fight and interact. Especially since The Whitelighter’s in that Verse don’t actually Orb in lights. They more so teleport.

// Yeah, by "rebooted" I meant "revamped". I had Chris on another main blog ages ago but decided to start over some years ago.

As for how Chris would fair against the 2018 - 2022 Charmed reboot witches... ooh boy.

Yeah, don't get me started on the reboot's Whitelighter teleportation. That's not orbing, that's Apparation from Harry Potter. And I hate that series' lore for Darklighters.

Anyway. Chris has spent his whole life with his Whitelighter-witch powers and fighting demons. Mel & Maggie Vera have had their powers for only 4 years, and Kaela has had hers for only a few months by the end of the reboot. Considering that the Vera-Vaughns seemed to get new powers every season or so + had their active powers stripped multiple times, and how Kaela Danso needs to actually draw something on paper in order for her power to work...

Yeah, Chris would wipe the floor with them in a fight, and that's not counting if he had Wyatt and Melinda with him. Let alone the Halliwells going up against the Vera-Vaughn/Vera-Danso girls.

It's not even that Chris is more powerful than them, because he wouldn't be. He simply has more experience than they do, was raised in the Craft, and he's had his powers far longer.

My guy tossed his evil older brother (the Twice-Blessed, heir to Exaclibur and Camelot, the Ruler of All Evil) across the attic with enough telekinetic force that Wyatt was stunned for several seconds. He's used telekinesis to crush the hearts of three Valkyries. He adapted to the spider demon powers relatively quickly and had no problem with beating the shit out of Leo. In fights, where he doesn't have the opportunity to use his powers or can't out himself, he's real quick in adapting and using whatever's around him as a weapon (grabbing a lamp to hold off a demon during s6e15 "I Dream of Phoebe"). Plus, as early season 6 repeatedly points out, he's manipulative as hell & turned three evil witch sisters against each other by lying about which one of them had slept with him (when in fact he hadn't slept with any of them).

[sasslightertm]

Thanks so much for making icons of Christy. No one else has that I know of :)

Replying several years late probably, but you're welcome!

[sasslightertm]

We're in the tail end of 2024, and it's very funny to me that for all the fuss about the Charmed (2018) reboot before it even aired, the fandom for it practically died after Macy was killed off in season 3 (if people hadn't already left during season 2) and 2 years after the show was cancelled in 2022, the reboot fandom is definitely dead compared to the original 1998 Charmed's fandom.

[derschwarzeengel]

Sad news for the Charmed fandom.
