something cute i’ve noticed

during the idol competition the StuCo are all sitting together

then kaede and kirari (disguised as ririka) leave, and sayaka and runa are sitting apart

but later when they are shown again, sayaka and runa are sitting next to each other, which means that one of them moved so they could sit next to each other. idk why this is so important to me but it is

                                  Wizarding Schools of the World

I decided to make a map of wizarding schools which made more sense in terms of population and language than what is officially known.  There are 19 total schools, 8 that are found on Pottermore and 11 that I think ought to exist based on geography and other factors.

Schools with * are ones I created; I mainly named them after cities/geographic features where I think they would be and they’re more placeholder names than anything.  They have a history section whereas the official schools do not.

Student Population is calculated assuming 1000 Hogwarts students.  1000/ (the population of the UK + Ireland) gives the fraction of school-age wizards/country population.  It multiplied by the combined country population gives the student population, which was rounded to the nearest 100.

The combined population of Indonesia/Phillipines/Malaysia was divided evenly between Mahoutokoro and Great Artesian Basin.  Otherwise, all population counts were based solely on the countries for which that school was the designated “primary” school.

1.       Ilvermorny:

Official Language: English

Student Population: 5,200

Location: Massachusetts, USA

2.       Teotihuacan:

Official Language: Spanish

Student Population: 3,000

Location: Teotihuacan, Mexico

History: This school was originally founded by the Aztecs.  It kind of went underground when the Spanish conquistadors came so it managed to survive.  I based it in Teotihuacan instead of Tenochtitlan because the latter is in modern-day Mexico City.  It has expanded its reaches over the years thus that nowadays it is the primary school for wizards throughout Central America and the Carribean.

3.       Cusco:

Official Language: Spanish

Student Population: 2,600

Location: Cusco, Peru

History: Originally founded by the Incas.  In many ways, it is similar to Teotihuacan.  This is the primary school for Spanish-speaking South American countries.

4.       Castelobruxo:

Official Language: Portuguese

Student Population: 3,000

Location: Amazon Rain Forest, Brazil

5.       Beauxbatons:

Official Language: French

Student Population: 1,500

Location: Pyrenees, France

6.       Timbuktu:

Official Language: French, Arabic, and English (mostly French, but the inclusion of the other two ensure everyone from the feeder countries should know one)

Student Population: 5,200

Location: Timbuktu, Mali

History: Was originally founded by the Mali Empire.  Welcomes anyone from West Africa.  Its official languages have changed many times over the years depending on which language fits their current population best.

7.       Alexandria:

Official Language: Arabic

Student Population: 5,300

Location: Alexandria, Egypt

History: This was originally founded during the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt and is connected to the well-known Library of Alexandria.  It became predominantly Islamic when the religion spread to Egypt. Nowadays, it is the main school for members of the Arab League.

8.       Delphi:

Official Language: Greek, Turkish

Student Population: 1,400

Location: Delphi, Greece

History: Originally founded in Ancient Greece, it suffered a great decline and was closed during the middle ages.  However, it was eventually revived during the Renaissance and has since then continued to operate to this day.

9.       Narnia:

Official Language: Italian, Spanish

Student Population: 1,700

Location: Narnia, Italy (Yes, this was a real place dating back to ancient Rome)

History: Originally founded in Ancient Rome and puts emphasis on Latin.  When Rome fell, it declined but remained operational. It was also revived by the Renaissance and now is the primary school for Spain, Italy, and Portugal.

10.   Uagadou:

Official Language: Swahili (and other Bantu languages, but this is the main one used)

Student Population: 7,500

Location: Mountains of the Moon, Uganda

11.   Hogwarts:

Official Language: English

Student Population: 1000 (Harry’s grade is not a good estimator because of the war. It was stated at a Quidditch game that there were 200 Slytherin students; that times 4 is 800 and I brought it up to 1000 under the assumption that normally it would be more if not for the effect of the war on Harry’s generation)

Location: Hogsmeade, Scotland, UK

12.   Durmstrang:

Official Language: Swedish, Hungarian, Polish, Bulgarian (All of its feeder countries have different languages so this one is hard; I think this covers it such that it at least is fairly-closely related to the other languages)

Student Population: 1,674

Location: Norway/Sweden

13.   Danube:

Official Language: German

Student Population: 1,500

Location: Danube, Germany

History: It was founded after the start of the Protestant Reformation.

14.   Koldovstoretz:

Official Language: Russian

Student Population: 3,000

Location: Middle-northern Russia

15.   Karakorum:

Official Language: Turkmen and other Turkish languages

Student Population: 2,400

Location: Karakorum, Tajikistan

History: Was founded by the Mongols and has historically been open to students throughout Asia.

16.   Nanning:

Official Language: Mandarin Chinese

Student Population: 23,700 (China is huge and correlates to about 20,000 of this)

Location: Nanning, China

Student Population: 21,900 (India is huge and correlates to about 19,000 of this)

To moja 2 rocznica na Tumblrze 🥳

[malynikt]

I'm thinking about writing a fanfic about Lorlen because I don't think there's enough of it

[malynikt]

Day three after finishing the trilogy. My mourning for Lorlen continues

Gotta love books making you sad for a character that never existed XD

[malynikt]

A while ago, *I know* that there were sketches for TBM by Trudi Canavan herself. Like characters, buildings and so on. And now I can't find them! But I know that they must exist somewhere....

Please send help.

[malynikt]

The black magician trilogy

So Akkarin and Lorlen called the guild their ‘little family’ and they protected their family with their lifes omg im crying too much over this trilogy w h y

[malynikt]

“I am having feelings again. Like some kind of fourteen year old kid. You remember, feelings right?”

— Akkarin [to Lorlen], The Novice. (via incorrectblackmagicianquotes)

[malynikt]

Lorlen managed a smile. “Perhaps you should visit the Night Room more often. You might hear some gossip yourself.”

The High Lord shook his head. “They’re all too careful when I am around. Besides, my interests lie outside the confines of the Guild. I’ll leave our family scandals to you.”

-The Novice

Administrator Lorlen

“I’m not going to try and talk you into staying,” he said. “I only wish you to know there is a place here for you if you want it.”
