also my father keeps finding these tiktoks of conspiracy theories and AI made speeches that are just blatantly untrue (usually very politically motivated) and refuses to listen to reason and facts because if it was on the internet it MUST be true.

One example being that the holocaust wasn’t real (despite the survivors, trauma and literal documentation) and is instead a government lie to brain wash children in schools and take away their idea of free will. brainwashing is what the nazis did to those minorities, and on a much lesser scale is still happening all over the world. (Lesser in the meaning of people actively trying to prevent it, not the damages being done). It’s like never ending circle where one group of people decides they need to exert control over the minorities and even in those known extreme cases, wipe them, their country, culture and way of life out of the world completely.

More to the point of this; the holocaust is real, the suffering of minorities all over the world is still very real. Saying it isn’t should be a freaking crime.

Also I hate family dinners now. Rant over.

not to be political but like wtaf is happening in the world right now?

someone could tell me a corn chip was elected mayor of a town and I’d be like “yeah that checks out.”

SOUP SEASON = BEST SEASON

It's Autumn, which means if I make a Big Pot of Soup it will Fix Everything. No one fact check me on this. We need to let the soup speak for itself.

Soup Season Specials: Golden Trio + Extras

cheers to all as it is currently my favorite season of all; soup season. For that reason I have included a list of the golden trio + extras on what soups they are to me. THIS IS ALL OPINION BASED.

Harry Potter - CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

classic and basic, a go to in the cupboard that takes little prep to make and is excellent to freeze and have for leftovers.

Hermione Granger - CREAM OF TOMATO

simple & classic, nice and smooth texture. very good when paired with a sandwich to dip.

Ron Weasley - BEEF BARLEY SOUP

another classic. it’s cheap to make and delicious too! most ingredients can be found in a garden.

Ginny Weasley - CARROT SOUP

with a surplus of kids and a garden at home very likely could be there version of a ‘sick soup’. Molly def would have substituted with sweet potatoes on occasion as well.

Luna Lovegood - GOULASH

not the typical type but the ‘what do I have that I can use in the fridge’ type. a little bit of everything and you never know what your getting depending on the cook. a staple in the winter time and a very hearty meal.

Draco Malfoy - LOBSTER BISQUE

pricey and over hyped but a solid choice. very creamy and rich, leaves you full in seconds but overall not much to write home about. seasoning is key- if the seasoning isn’t there the entire pot tastes like bland mush.

Blaise Zabini - CHEESY PEPPER POT SOUP

very tasteful, not the most filling unless creamed but a very warming soup. seasoning is the maker of the dish, and if your tongue is left tingling it’s a 12/10 pot

Theodore Nott - CLAM CHOWDER

boring old man soup, but nice when it’s cold out and you want to spend the day in your jammies with a book. Overhyped and awful smelling when cooking but otherwise a very cheap seafood styled soup that gives the illusion of having money.

Pansy Parkinson - SPLIT PEA SOUP

you eat this if you’re broke or you’re scared of the carbs. honestly a great soup if creamed, very mild and boring when not. if seasoning is done well it can turn this into a miracle otherwise it’s bland green mush that resembles infant food.

Daphne Greengrass - BOUILLABAISSE

stupid name for a nasty fish soup. smells weird, is like a weird fish stew and has a strange constancy that leaves me wanting to puke. Very overpriced and over hyped, honestly not a contender for me though some people love it so if you’re into exotic tastings this might be the soup for you.

Marauders Modern Sport/Activity Edition 101 Comparison

did anyone ask for this? no. am i going to haphazardly tell anyone in a random post on a very mundane Saturday anyway? abso-freaking-lutely.

James Potter - ICE HOCKEY

he makes the calls, he keeps the team together in the dressing room. he’s the first one on the ice and the last one to leave. he power skated in his youth to know his blades more like an extension to him. through losses and wins he keeps it upbeat, he knows when to call it. he pulls the fancy spins the quick turns the digging and battles at boards and around the net. he’s always the first to pass rather than going in for a one timer. he gets nearly triple the amount of assists than he does goals, not because he can’t get the shot and the buzzer singing from the net, but because he doesn’t need the stats. He’s here to play, as a team not as a sole person.

SIDE NOTE: see CONNOR MCDAVID

Sirius Black - ICE HOCKEY

he knows his edges, he can weave and spin with the best. He’s the one to pull a stop out of nowhere and go scrambling in the next direction. likewise he isn’t afraid to be a hard hitter to smash an opponent into the boards to pull a man off his teammate at the net. he looks after the team, he’s the big brother- the protector and the defender but sometimes he does it a little to well and finds himself spending more time than necessarily helpful in the sin-bin. he’s the brutality of the sport, but also the art of it. he energized the team by getting them going when they’re down and has a killer slap shot. he might not call the plays on the ice, but he’s the one to keep the plays alive.

SIDE NOTE: see QUINN HUGHES

Remus Lupin - COURT VOLLEYBALL

great setter, always calculating the game, and trusting his players to get the ball across the net. able to land the last hit and direct to the available uncovered sections across the court. likewise a very powerful and well-aimed serve could be the end all to the game. he controls the game how hard they hit and how fast the pace. it’s delicate but not outwardly so unless he makes it such. he likes the control it gives him, that he makes decisions, that he has choices.

Peter Pettigrew - GOLF

high points are a blunder and he likes the high stakes game. it’s the type of sport where the goal is to play less to win. which is just Peter’s speed. likewise it’s something recreationally that allows him to mess around in a golf cart and take the boys out for a Sunday afternoon with some refreshments like beer in the cooler and take part in a more domestic game of it that he would lovingly refer to as “whack-&-dash”

Regulus Black - FIGURE SKATING (ice dancing) & BALLET

was in ballet as a child until he came to the realization that his feet didn’t have the natural arches that better yourself for the sport, late into ice skating it soon became more apparent that he could still retain his artistic routes but ‘wow’ on the ice much like Sirius. he was naturally gifted at knowing his blades, they were like a second extension to him. He felt like he lost an arm when he was without them. he primarily did solo routines, due to his shorter stature and weight, partnered routines never moulded well with him, he was better on the ice alone. for him to succeed with a partner on the ice they would have to be willing to grant him the female counterparts roles, as that is what he was accustomed to skating and doing- he tried training for lifts but his size left him lacking. He was strong and brilliant in his spins and corrections working endlessly for perfection.

Barty Crouch JR. - SOCCER (eurpoean football)

in it to win at whatever cost. cleats to his shins when kicking, nasty wipe outs and grass stains on his arms, legs and cheeks from diving for the ball. He would be the first to go down screaming from another teams missed kick, and the first to be jumping in during a scrum. he’s all passion and fire on the field. deadly fast and deadly accurate not only by his aim- but not particularly showy about his skills. there’s no fancy dribbling and passes. he keeps it simple, from player to player passes and then the ball to the net. strong believer in the KISS method (keep it simple stupid)

Evan Rosier - COURT BASKETBALL

he would be tall, not the one to run up centre but to always pass the ball for another more able body could take the shot. Calculating and accessing as he changed positions on the court to always be open. It would be delivering sneaky elbows and trips to opposition when the refs attention was otherwise turned to keep his lane free so others could send the ball to him. he wasn’t be afraid to take the penalties and do the dirty work to get was needed completed.

Lily Evans - COURT VOLLEYBALL

she would have a powerful serve and instead of setting the pace of the game and setting the plays at centre she would be a hitter at the net or a power hitter from the back. she would leap for the balls with scrapped knees from slipping pads and go down hard every play. She would throw all hands in and be the first to leap at her teammates in an eccentric hug at the end of each set. Deadly focus to win but having a blast getting there as she did her part.

Marlene McKinnon - BASEBALL

it’s competitive and it’s often summed as a male only sport. She would in her youth have been on all-boys teams, likely having the hardest curveball and be an excellent pitcher. I could see her having deadly aim and accuracy when at the mound. when batting she’d recklessly abandon herself to the thrill of going base-to-base, and always going for a base steal. no hesitation and full trust in her team to do what needed to be done to win. she’d be ruthless.

Pandora Ollivander - GYMNASTICS

particularly the artistic gymnastics. since not only is it an exceptional art form but it requires and represents a very unique set of talent and strength to compete. it can be beautiful, but it can also be very hideous at times come competition and rulings with its ridicule by others. it’s countless repetition on getting your holds and your standings right and your balancing on the precise on falling or rising. it is an all stakes sport, which I think captures her well. (also a very small willowy blonde with long blonde hair doing flips and switches from beams and poles…)

SIDENOTE: see SIMONE BILES

incase it wasn’t obvious I’m quite the hockey fan, every other sport I know only preliminary knowledge about from highschool and college lol. anyway cheers!

Sometimes, the urge to write a fic doesn't come from the genuine need to write something, but from wanting to read it. And, unfortunately, no one has written this specific thing you want.

[scooby-snacs]

the fact that vapes are being used more commonly than cigarettes in tv makes me ✨uncomfy✨

[scooby-snacs]

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

[scooby-snacs]

thought if the day:

oppenheimer = very good fucking movie.

frankly my education did not encompass what really went on during the manhattan project enough and the armed races between differing countries. the acting was phenomenal, I enjoyed how they brought to light the red scare sweeping through the usa and how that impacted everything. what I liked most was the realism behind it at points. again this is all coming from a person with very little historical background besides what was mandated in school. honestly Oppenheimer’s last phrase to Einstein during the movie really fucking sold me over all + plus his contact morals vs academia battle when coming to full fruition with the project.

[scooby-snacs]

things that are canon to me - marauders edition:

remus was james & sirius’ gay awakening, james in fourth year, sirius in third year. james panicked and went to minnie. she told him to was okay, calmed him down and gave him a biscuit. it was there that james learned that she happily married to poppy. sirius on the other hand ignored it and tried to drown it out by becoming a serial hook-up partner for any all houses.

sirius was in a relationship with marlene but split due to both being raging homosexuals - they were brutal to one another when together. but are friends now. no-one knew what they were to one another at any given moment for how often they went from snogging the daylights out of one another to shouting and cursing each other.

peter had a major crush on mary through years three and four. they kissed once and then realized they didn’t feel anything more than friendship to one another.

lily had a crush on narcissa, that she thought was simply jealousy for her stellar academics and beauty in year four. year five she realized she liked both men and women, and ended up in a relationship with mary — who she was terrified would hate her for it.

marlene always knew she liked girls but tried to bury that part of herself hence why she started dating sirius in year four-five. they were both us using one another in that sense and it was why they always fought, fucked, made-up and repeated the process.

james was regulus’ gay awakening and long term hate-crush. he serial dated/ hooked-up in year five after seeing james make-out with a girl.

pandora was dorcas’ first kiss, that left them giggling afterwards and thinking it silly.

evan was in love with barty for years, but never allowed himself to act on it until barty finally told him to either shit or get off the pot. barty was equally in love with him for years and actually used regulus to try and get over him. totally friends-with-benefits situation, but the relationship was doomed from the start as they were both in love with someone else

dorcas kissed many people, she was a great kisser but feared attachment with people so when she found herself attached to marlene she tried to flee. marlene took none of that shit and literally chased her down and was like ‘you like me I like you get over your issues becuase we’re doing this. it’s me and you babe.’

pandora was an equal opportunist, though she disliked the idea of sexual love making. she didn’t want or like sex, she only agreed to marry xeno because they were similar in that sense and she wanted a baby. he always wanted to be a father so it was a match in heaven truly.

pandora was the first person regulus told about him being gay. dorcas was the person he asked about how to know if he was a fruity person.

once marlene and dorcas became a pair, james was the one who asked them how to know if he really loved someone. he knew what love was supposed to look like, and how you’re supposed to act, but how to it’s what you’re actually feeling he was unsure. that was their big bonding moment between dorcas and james.

Edge, the M16 & Assassin Jegulus fanfic is an unfinished masterpiece.

i was skeptical about it, mostly cause i didn’t know how I felt about a modern setting… and then I devoured in like a carnivorous plant seeing a fly for the first time. it was there and it was gone and now I’m in love.

i would gladly let regulus black carve out my own heart just for him to dice it up and offer it to his lovely lover james potter. and lily evans? she can do no wrong. ever. i love her, her playing the game so well - girl was told to slut her way to the top for information and she did and i adore her for it. pair it with sirius and remus, the former just along for the ride with his spy best friends and assassin brother and the other so done with everyone. also lily being pro taylor swift- just. yes. she is a swiftie, that is a fact.

[scooby-snacs]

barty crouch - firecrackers & lighters that throw sparks when lit.

evan rosier - matches or a kerosene lamp that is never filled

pandora - sparklers that go on cakes and sometimes catch the drapes on fire

regulus black - candles, the ones that leave a mess of melted wax.

[scooby-snacs]

you know what I love? regulus black. you know what else I love? james potter. you what I love more than anything else? james potter and regulus black hopefully in love with each other.

[scooby-snacs]

On another note: Camilla Dunne deserves only the best in life and love. I will take no slander to her character ever. Billy on the other hand- boy it’s on fucking sight. you messed up a perfectly good woman and marriage. can’t believe she cried over you while you mouth breathed over a microphone with a hot redhead who you also decided to break the heart of. darlings, you deserved so much better than this train wreck of a man.

[scooby-snacs]

Someone had the idea of a Daisy Jones inspired Au Marauders style … (or maybe I just hallucinated it myself) … whoever that was, I’m starting a rough outline and need help on a stage name for Regulus Black.

Reggie Jones just doesn’t have the ring to it, neither does Reg… so how about “Lucy Jones” (I’ve seen people in other works use Lucy as a nickname for him and I love the slight femininity it offers!)

Also I’ve planning to make it very gay. With Wolfstar as the Karen Sirko & Graham Dunne duo, and Jegulus as the Billy Dunne & Daisy Jones duo.

Rosekiller, Pandalily, Dorcas/Marlene and others will be featured as well if everything goes according to plan :) also how do we feel about Sirius Black being trans (ftm?)
