#1st class trio

[jjinpang]

It's easy to forget because ultimately ff7 is Cloud's story, and Zacks tried his utter hardest to be a "cool older brother" figure in Cloud's life. But Zacks was an itty bitty baby child when everything went down in Crisis Core.

Putting my vision out for the young Soldier 1st Class trio dynamic before Ever Crisis comes around to disprove it

Of course they'll become thick as thieves eventually, but I like imagining there being a short period right at the start where Sephiroth tries to meet up with Angeal, but can't escape having to also hang out with this excitable, overly friendly redhead who keeps getting between his befriending attempts. Just imagining Angeal fussing over Genesis' uniform or something, Genesis kicking up a stink over it, embarrassed to be treated like some child in front of Sephiroth, and Sephiroth watching like "Ah man... That's nice, Angeal is so thoughtful... If only it was me."

That’s all there is for Role Aids, but plenty of other people made cool stuff for D&D. Like Bard Games. Better know for Atlantis and Talislanta, the company’s first products were a trio of booklets that expanded the roster of existing D&D classes. The first was The Compleat Alchemist (1982, this edition 1983).

This wasn’t the first attempt at an alchemist class. At least two appeared in Dragon Magazine, the first in 1981. I’m sure other attempts exist. This is probably the most exhaustive. It is hampered somewhat by the system neutrality — there weren’t best practices for that sort of thing yet, so the language often feels vague. I also wonder, broadly, why there was such interest in Alchemists as a class when they always seemed a stay at home sort. Still, there is a lot of interesting (if likely overpowered) stuff here.

The book starts off with lists of ingredients and other components, which is a valuable resource on its own. Then you get the level specific abilities, which are…too powerful, though mitigated by time and cost. 1st level, alchemists can brew elixirs, 2nd level they get powders, 3rd is venoms. Things start to get interesting with 4th, when they can make a number of devices, including a rod of detection. Level 5 is talismans, level 6 is potions, 7 is dusts, 8 is solvents, 9 is gases. 10 is essences, which include elixirs of elemental power. Level 11 comes with the ability to create a number of constructs and level 12 allows access to the aqua vitae and the creation of artificial life. I would counsel limiting the number of magical substances an alchemist can create before allowing a player to roll one up, dang.

Still, this is a clever book. The abilities all build on each other, and there is an assumption that the creation of the many magic items is contingent on rare materials which provide the impetus for adventuring. I’ve seen far less reasonable first efforts!

how has the soldier podcast been going

Shinra used to organize a weekly podcast with the 1st Class trio. However due to a string of inappropriate behavior, the company referred not to present their elite SOLDIERs in an unpolished light. So they cancelled it.

• Sephiroth once spent an entire hour ranting about the poor quality of the shampoo Shinra recently provided him with. He went on about the correct ingredients to include in Shampoo and how this one made his scalp dry. It was only at the end of the hour long rant that Genesis revealed he put mayonnaise in Sephiroth's shampoo as a prank.

• They "unknowingly" brought in the leader of a notorious Anti-Shinra group for an interview.

• Genesis mixed them drinks so they could prove to the public that alcohol has no effect on them. They proceeded to get drunk and prank call Lazard to tell him they all just got legally married.

• Angeal once referred to President Shinra and Rufus as "the evil dictator raisin and his nepotism grape child." But what PR had a problem with was the sounds that came out of Sephiroth after Angeal made that statement.

• Sephiroth and Genesis argued over the correct pronunciation of "syrup" (Genesis pronounces it as "sir-up" while Sephiroth says "see-rup").

Genesis: You wouldn't know syrup if it slapped you in the face and spat on you.

Sephiroth: Of course I wouldn't. I use syrup on my food like a normal person. You, on the other hand, look like you would love to be slapped and spat on by syrup.

Genesis:

• They got sponsored by an instant noodles brand without Shinra's permission, which happened to be Sephiroth's favorite brand of Udon. Sephiroth went on a tangent about how the brand is the best because they include exactly 24% more noodles than the other brands, and don't, quote, "scam the consumer."

• Genesis got to reading hate comments they receive and made it his mission to respond to each one of them.

Genesis: Silver_Sephiroth_Lover402 says "It would be good for Genesis if he found something else to read instead of obsessing over Loveless" WELL, Silver_Sephiroth_Lover402, if I track your IP address, find out where you live, and burn your house down, I'll be reading about the incident in the news tomorrow. Does that work for you?

Angeal: Gen, maybe you should—

Genesis: No, no, listen to this one! Sephiroths_Wife112 says "Genesis is very handsome, but not as pretty as Sephiroth" I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE THAT MY FACE IS NOT TO YOUR LIKING, SEPHIROTH'S WIFE, BUT PERHAPS I ENJOY LOOKING HUMAN INSTEAD OF LIKE AN ALIEN CAT.

Angeal:

Genesis:

Sephiroth: I don't recall getting married.

• They once did a dramatic reading of an explicit fanfiction where they have a threesome on an office chair. They had to pause halfway to make sense of how three people could have sex on one office chair, and ended up trying to recreate the position described in the story on Angeal's chair. The audio picked up the chair breaking loudly, followed by complete silence, and then Sephiroth quietly going "In hindsight, doing it on the floor would've been more efficient."

• Angeal started telling them about the strange plant Reno got for him to keep in his office. After describing the plant, Genesis informed him that it was, in fact, cannabis.

Angeal: Oh...Well... that's not good.

Genesis: We should smoke it.

Sephiroth: Don't be ridiculous, Genesis, that would be harmful to our lungs.

Genesis:

Sephiroth: We should bake it into brownies.

part one | part two

I am not beautiful, but I could be.

If I changed my hair, or had darker skin, if my hair wasn't unruly and bleached, if my eyes weren't a weird shade between green and blue, they almost looked grey, if my nose wasn't as big and nostrils as wide, or my lips big and dry and if my teeth weren't small or if my gums didn't show when I smiled.

Maybe if I looked like her I'd be beautiful.

 But comparing is a shit thing to do, a bad virtue she had and couldn't rid herself off of, so instead of sulking and watching him whisper sweet nothings to the pretty girl, something that makes her quietly laugh, she turn her gaze towards the parchment in front of her. A blank page watched back, a few splotches of ink dropped from her quill that trembled slightly in her hand.

I am so failing at History of Magic if I don't start, at least, taking notes. I sighed deeply, sneaking a look at Hermione's paper to see her page already filled completely. Discreetly leaning in towards her I tried to copy her notes, thankfully she didn't say anything and just scoffed before resuming her writing.

My notes came out completely sloppy and messy, like they always did, but with the ink droplets it was completely illegible. I pursed my lips before ripping the parchment and standing up along with the rest of the students as the class ended.

Catching up to my friends, I wave to Hermione as she goes to find the rest of the Golden Trio. Theo and Enzo were bickering about something as we piled in the Great Hall, the chatter of other students went unnoticed to me as my thoughts swirled in my head. I sat on the bench, throwing my bag next to me, elbows on the table as I rest my head on my palms.

"What's up your ass today, Y/N?", Theo nudged me with his shoulder. "I'm failing History and the school year hasn't ever properly started." Not entirely a lie, but still not the whole truth.

Not sure how would it sound if I said that what bothers me is the fact my best friend already has a girl and it's only been a week since the school year started. But it's not like it's a surprise, really.

Theo's hand found it's way across my shoulders, pulling me into him as he chuckled. "No worries, we'll fail together, that way summer school won't be as lonely." I snort, slapping my hand across his chest.

"Why are we talking about summer school already?", my body went rigid at sound, every muscle in my body freezing, only hoping Theo doesn't notice. Mattheo moved my bag gently on the floor before sitting next to me, his body angled towards us as he leaned a bit to get a closer look at us. A scarred brow lifted as his eyes danced between Theo and me. Theo squeezed me gently before removing his hand, a teasing smile on his lips.

"We just like to make plans in advance, isn't that right, principesa?"  I roll my eyes at the nickname, he rarely uses it. Mattheo hummed, averting his gaze from us.

I was looking through the window as the rain slowly fell from the sky. A few of the students that were outside ran inside as fast as they could as to not get wet. Eyes gliding over to the pair that stayed behind, slowly dancing in the rain, not caring who saw or how wet they'll get. 

My heart was gripped by two hands, crushed and twisted, a boulder of emotions pressed on my chest. It pushed and pushed on my lungs until it felt like I couldn't breathe. I tried to take a breath, but a rope around my neck tightened with every attempt.

I felt like I was drowning.

I raised my wand, my heart burning with jealousy at something I'll never have. A simple spell I learned last year with Hermione, made the rain stop in it's tracks mid air. The pair halted with their dancing, with giggles I swear I could hear all the way up here, they ran inside.

 When i couldn't see them anymore the rain fell again with the flick of my wand, but my heart still burned.

Shaking my head, I made the rest of the trek towards the Astronomy tower, it was cold up here. My teeth clenched as the wind whipped my hair, stray raindrops acted as the tears I refused to let flow down my cheeks. 

In the far left corner sat and old piano, it had a propped leg by some folded parchment, the chair squeaked under my weight and the tiles were out of tune. Nobody really knows how did an old piano end up here or why it was still here. There were speculations of course, but they were nothing more than that.

I like to tell myself it was left here for me.

With trembling fingers I played a song of my heart, an out of tune beat just like the piano tiles. My fingers were red, and my nose runny by the time I heard his voice.

"I didn't hear you play since last summer." His voice blended in with the thunder that hid the sound of me hitting the wrong key. My body trembled, despite the warm cloak that he draped over my shoulders. Eyes never straying from the dirty keys I let out a breath, thankful for the rain that left my cheeks damp. 

"Couldn't sleep?", I decide on saying, my voice coming out hoarse and wrong. "Yeah." His voice sounded broken, like the last key, in the far right that I needed to finish the song. Fingers hovering over it for a moment before I rested my hands in my lap.

 I want to ask him of what he dreamt, which nightmare plagued his mind now; even if I knew all of them by now. Instead I scooted on the creaking chair, making space for him which he gladly accepts. I rub my hands together, feeling the bite from the cold now that the son is over, his hand twitches as if he's gonna reach for me, but instead he puts it in his pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes. 

He took a deep breath, smoke whirling around us, carried by the wind as my eyes trace a raindrop that follows the slope of his cheek. Brown eyes find mind, a small smile on his lips and I blink away the fog in my mind. His curls are all over the place and I have to force myself to not reach up and run my hand through them. It's like he hears my thoughts as his fingers brush through his curls, the same hand drapes over my shoulders pulling me closer to him. 

My lungs were crushed by the weight of my unspoken words. But I'd rather choke on them than loose what I have here. The only sound I could hear, is the one I can't control when he's near, it's the beating of my wild heart.

Tipsy Trampoline!

Drunk kiribaku x roomie/aka reader

(I know I promise to do other fics but I really wanted to do this)

This was inspired by this fic, yuzuya ofc and Mina's Birthday party these were one of my all-time favorites on Tumblr and youtube back then and I still loved it!

It was Denki's 18th birthday and he decided to rent out the trampoline park for everyone to come and invited all class 1a and class 1b (and Shinsou)

You were getting ready to go wearing your rainbow kidcore clothes (can be a dress or pants whatever!) when you got a notification from one of your friends katsuki to pick you up

💣RagingChihuahua💥: you ready dumbass me and Shitty hair are about to pull up

Roomie✌️: Yep got my gift and everything!

💣RagingChihuahua💥: alright I see you don't im pulling up right now

You saw a car pulling up to your driveway through the window, so you grabbed your gifts and dashed outside, and went inside the car, seeing Kirishima in the backseat as well "Hey roomie how's it been!" Kiri said with a wide smile you smiled back giving him a fist bump and a hug "Amazing excited to finally have a break from schoolwork and hanging around with my buds!" Kiri blushed a bit while smiling "And chihuahua! I haven't seen you in a while how's it been those test aren't stressing you out aren't they?" katsuki grumbled at the stupid nickname you gave him "I told you to not call me that and of course not im punching those test straight in the fucking teeth!"

You giggled at his reaction and Katsuki blushed a bit and cleared his throat "Anyways are you ready did you get everything?" you nodded holding the gift in hand "Alright now the only reason im taking the two of you is because you're the most tolerable so you better not fucking act up in my car or you'll get thrown out in the damn street!!" you and kiri giggled at his emptyish threat "Dont worry man we won't do anything promise! You can trust us" Katsuki glared at the two of you while you and kiri looked "Innocently" at him with the invisible hovering angle wings and halo Katsuki grumbled something and started to engine and off to go to denkis party

Time skip of roomie and kiri making corny ass jokes while bakugo shouting at the both of you to shut the fuck up

The 3 of y'all made it after a 20 excruciating drive (for Bakugo) to the neon trampoline park where Denki, Mina, and Shinsou were waiting at the front the 3 of you got out to meet up with the trio "Hey man! Happy birthday!" kiri said to Denki while giving him a high five and a hug "Thanks! And those gifts look amazing! You can put the gifts at the table right there And can wait at the lobby for everyone else to come! And bakugo?! your giving ME a gift?! How thoughtful~" Denki said with a teasing smile "SHUT UP! I'm only giving you a gift cause it's your birthday that's it" katsuki yelled and rolled his eyes the 5 of you snickered at katsukis outburst which didn't make Katsuki any better so he stomped inside the building while you followed right behind him giving Denki another happy birthday

The 3 of you waited in the lobby with other of your classmates friends talking about how amazing this party gonna be a few minutes later when everyone was here Iida announced the rules of the party no arguing no playfighting blah blah but most importantly no drinking irresponsibly everyone agreed with the rules and off to play y'all went

The 1st thing you did was play dodgeball and it was WAR when it started on your team was you, kiri, Kendo Monoma, Komori, and more while on the other team were Bakugo, teru, Ochako, Jirou, You Shoji, and WWDB (World war dodgeball) began, Soft Foam balls were flying everywhere bakugo, jirou monoma and kendo was sniping everyone on each other while the rest of you were dodging for your LIVES you were using every one of your team members as a human shield to dodge bakugos hits and to survive until it was one on one everyone started cheering for you gulped while bakugo had an evil grin on his face

Bakugo was Throwing balls so hard every time they hit the wall making a loud bang you were screaming playfully and dodging them while Bakugo taunted you about losing already "GIVE UP ROOMIE YOUR CORNERED" you panted tried to dodge the balls but was determined you were gonna win it for the team "NEVER! GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT" Bakugo grinned at your words and grabbed a blue foam ball and threw you you dived into the trampoline behind you but your leg got hit with the ball just when bakugo was about to shout for victory the ball bounced hard and hit bakugo in the face

You won

Your team cheered while Bakugo's team died laughing at what they just saw not caring they lost Bakugo yelled out profanities and slowly turned his head to you, you gulped grinning sheepishly and waved, that was the final straw for bakugo, "YOUR DUMBASSES IS GONNA PAY FOR THAT" he ran towards you and kiri while the two of you screamed and dashed off running across the obstacles but this Blonde was hot on your trail so Kiri took your hand and dashed to the ball pit and dived right in there bakugo jumped in along with thev3 of you laughed until y'all realized the position your in

Kiri was on top of Bakugo while you were on top of Kiri the 3 of you blushed "I didn't know the 3 lovebirds were hanging out in the ball pit~" Shinso said grabbing his phone out and taking the picture of the 3 of you, Bakugo screamed at him to delete them while all of you deeply blushing quickly getting off of each other and looking away in embarrassment, "I'm gonna get a drink so I can forget this ever happens" Kiri said still blushing while helping bakugo up "Yea im getting thirsty anyway roomie you coming?" "I'll catch up with the 2 of you in a min im gonna play some arcade games!" "they're so Cute..." Kiri thought staring at the both of you but was quickly snapped out of it when Katsuki dragged him

*timeskip of you battling Momo, tsuyu and mina to see who gets more tickets*

Meanwhile at the bar sat A tipsy Denki, sero and hakagure messing with Bakugo and Kiri "Cmon blasty I know you want to~" "FUCK OFF DUNCE FACE I AINT DOING THE DRINKING COMPETITION" "Aw cmon what are you scared?!" Sero said making chicken noises Katsuki was getting tired of him so he snatched the drink off his hand and grabbed Kiri by the shirt collar "Fine but shitty hair is gonna join me as well to prove your stupid shitty drinking game" "U-Uh..Yea Sure! I'll join right by you bakugo" the 2 men grabbed the beer cans readying themselves hakagure counted them down "3...2...1 DRINK" and the 2 teams drank away grabbing beer cans after beer cans

Time skip cause idk im lazy lol

"I told you I got the most tickets! Kero* "Yeah yea I would've won if it weren't for that Stupid fishing game I would've gotten 10 more tickets to beat you" You tease punching her arm softly while she laughed "Aw Stop it you two we all did great plus you should've seen ochako with those basketball skills they're amazing!" Ochako blushed a bit at Momo's statement "It wasn't that good guys I missed a few shots!" Whined ochako "A few?! Out of the 100 hoops you dunked?! You're a natural you gotta teach me" the 4 of you went to the main lobby and sat on the sofa to chat more you grabbed a soda and sat down relaxing

You were bored so you went to look for your boys you pushed through the crowd of drunk toddlers to locate your two friends you were about to give up until you felt hands grabbing you from behind and pushing you closely to their chest you looked up to see it was kiri drunkenly smiling at you while wobbling a bit trying to steady himself "Roooomieeeee" he said while giggling like a child "how's it going having fu-*Hic* at the party!" you giggled trying not to laugh out loud at his face

"Yep seems like you were too where's bakugo I thought he was with you" Kiri stopped for a moment to think looking like a loading screen that was until a door was slammed open at the entrance

Oh shit it was aizawa

"Now which one of you fucking brats put a drawing of a dick on my car" Everyone including you froze Aizawa's red glowing eyes were glaring at everyone this happened for about a min until Denki slammed down a bottle screaming "SCATTER" Everyone ran in different directions you were grabbing on eljirou looking for an exit and fast until an arm grabbed you and the two of you were dragged quickly out the emergency exit it was katsuki

"Kats?" he stared down at you then at Kiri then continued to drag you into his car "I dive" he slurred struggling to put his keys in the car you grabbed Katsuki and pulled him into the back seat ignoring his angry protests and insults you grabbed his keys and hit the engine and drove out of there

You drove to a star-glazing area to watch the stars for a while looking back seat you saw both Kiri and Katsuki knocked out in the back so you closed the door bringing the keys to yourself, and went to lay on the grass to watch the stars you close your eyes and relaxed not long after you felt 2 bodies laying beside you Katsuki in the middle while Kiri was on his left you were on his right, the 3 we're you were watching stars kiri was drunkenly laughing to himself while Akatsuki stayed focus curious you asked him a question "So Kats what are you gonna do after this" Katsuki stayed silent you assumed he was either ignoring you or passed out so you continued to watch the stars dancing in the Moonlight until an arm wrapped your neck around pulling you closer You blushed "gonna love you two someday...wanna confess" you were flushed at the moment unable to speak words or even comprehend what is going on Kiri was already knocked out but continuesnue

"Don't wanna lose ya so special.." Kiri joined in but in a slurred speech, then katsuki did you never forget it he leaned the both of you closer and kissed Kiri on the cheek 1st then you then he turned his head to you and said "Dont tell him I did that" then passed out peacefully snoring

you were processing what the fuck just happen but looked down to see their peaceful snoring faces you kissed them both on the cheek and whispered "I love you too..." let's say that was the most memorable moment for the 3 of you

Bonus: when your parents got home they saw you Kiri and Bakugo cuddling on your bed and secretly took pictures in the morning

WOODY'S ROUNDUP!

Okay current fics that are in the works or coming up. This is my accountability list so yall....hold ya girl accountable lol

All fics are black reader and black coded just so you know. But let me know which ones yall excited to read

For The 1st Time: arranged marriage: ony x reader - angst, fluff

You knew that this was your destiny. From the time you were born. Ony knew it as well. But the problem...neither of you knew each other. Ony was set to be one of the most powerful men in his industry and to solidify that, your father promised you to him. But how the hell was he supposed to marry someone he's never met...

If you want you can watch on your video phone: nerd!gojo x camgirl reader - smut

Gojo was more reserved about his personal life than most people. From the outside he was a standup guy. Mostly quiet to those who didn't know him. He kept his head low, his grades high, and his mouth closed. But Gojo had a very nasty secret. Because deep in his mansion, with his doors bolted shut Gojo has an obsession. One that just happens to be the melanated girl that sits in front of him in class. He never spoke to you in public but the thoughts he had about you in private would make a porn star blush. But Gojo failed to realize one little thing. You knew exactly who your favorite streamer was, it was only a matter of time until you addressed him about it...

Lovers and Friends: gojo x virgin reader - smut, angst

Gojo and Geto have been friends for years and that didn't change when you had come along. A few years younger than them when your mom married Geto's dad and the duo became a trio. It had always been you three whether you liked it or not. Gojo never viewed you as a little sister but you were always someone he knew he would protect no matter what. So when you approached him with your offer, needless to say he was shocked. Initially he refused but you knew as well as he did how convincing you could be.

My Little Secret: Ony x reader - angst, smut

You and Ony had never really solidified your relationship with one another. It was all "my man my man my man" when yall were alone but in public, nobody knew the dirty little secret you shared. Not even Ony's little girlfriend. So when he pulls up to the party with her on his arm, will you be able to keep that secret under wraps? If he doesn't tell, you won't tell..

Indefinitely: babydaddy!eren x reader - heavy angst

Things with you and your baby daddy were fine as far as you can tell. You both had moved on and managed a great coparenting relationship. Everything seemed okay...for you. Eren on the other hand was seething. Because not only had you moved on, you had found someone new. So when a chance encounter between your new boo and Eren come to a head after he sees him with your son, you forced to make a tough decision that will pivot you and Eren's relationship forever.

Wanna Be: bestfriend!ony x reader - slight angst, fluff

“Not trynna hear you tell nobody that I’m just a friend. Just trynna make sure I’m the body that you call your man…” Ony is your best friend and its been that way for years. He was your safe haven as much as you were his. You've always shared a connection with one another that many didn't understand. But recently Ony has been struggling with his feelings for you. Things that he used to feel don't quite feel the same anymore. And he's forced to come to terms with reality...

Liquor: drunk!armin x reader - smut

There's something in this liquor. It has to be. That's the only reason he was like this. Because there wasn't any other reason why the cute, quiet blonde boy that stuttered anytime you approached him had you pinned up like this, tears falling from the corners of your eyes...

Mirror Staring Back At Me: bestfriend!eren x reader - smut

He knew better. He knew not to get involved in your relationships. He knew his place at your side. But Eren couldn't help it. Not when he saw how they tried to destroy your confidence. You standing in the mirror with eyes of uncertainty. You picking yourself apart from their words. So he did what only a good best friend would do. He showed you right there in your mirror exactly how he felt about you and how you should to...

All Things Ya Man Won't Do: ony x reader - fluff to smut

Most of your life your relationships have been transactional. You learned early on that nothing you get comes for free, especially with me. It was always a give and take. So when you got with Ony, you expected the same things. For every gift he got you, you made sure to double it because that's how the game goes right? Well Ony wasn't having that. He was going to get it through to you by any means necessary...

A Rock and a Hard Place: choso x reader - fluff, suggestive

This was it! You were going to get in shape. And what better way that to do something fun like...rock climbing? Why the hell did you let your best friend talk you into this? Heights were not your strong suit. But a little help from the cute instructor may take your mind off things...

SPIN: ony x reader - smut

"Ass or tits?" was the question asked of him. "Titties all day. Yall can keep that other shit." Ony has always been an assertive man. He knew what he liked and what he didn't like. He knew what turned him on and what he pulled away from. He was always certain in his decisions. That was until you came along. The moment you stepped into his life, everything Ony swore he wasn't interested in was flipped upside down...

Cherrycard kid-Jane Trappola

“Man, what an honor! My dads told me all about Night Raven College but actually being here…why it’s incredible!”

SHES HOLDING A BROOM

Voice claim: TBA

Character info

  Jane is a spunky girl with a fiery spirit. She tries to be humble but because of her magical prowess she can sometimes be cocky and people will take it the wrong way. She’s decided that those people just aren’t worth dealing with and sticks close to her tight knit group of friends. At lunch she usually sits with her grandpa and eats with him and they use that time to catch up. She takes pride in being in Heartslabyul. 

  She grew up in the Queendom of Roses as almost next door neighbors to the Spade family. Whenever there was a vacation break that her family could take they would either go to the Shaftlands to visit the Howl’s, Schoenheit’s, and Felmier’s or to Briar Valley to visit the Zigvolt’s, Vanrouge’s, or even the royal family. “It pays off making connections in school.” Is what her papa always tells her. Constantly learning things from new places gained her a lot of experience and knowledge that she likes putting to use. She’s definitely a mini Ace and some people would comment on it with pity to Rory but, he always snapped back at them about how he wouldn’t want her to feel like she has to hide herself in any capacity. 

Fun facts: Chronically single. Rory taught her how to play guitar. In middle school she found a puppy in an alleyway on her way home, her family still has her and she was named Calliope. Ace taught her tons of card games and tricks. She has a bad habit of relying on her magic too much, even using it for normal daily tasks. Her love for the macabre and goth has deterred some people away but if given the chance, she could talk about her likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. for hours. 

Basic info

Age: 16

Height: 160cm, 5’2 (out of platforms)

1st year

Class A

Club: Board game club

Hobbies: Exploring campus, playing with her dog at home, and playing guitar

Pet peeve: People who judge before getting to know someone

Favorite food: strawberry pastries

Least favorite food: Broccoli.

Talent: Honing her magic to manipulate it in intricate ways

Character dynamics

Alaric Vanrouge: One part of a trio. He’s definitely more soft spoken than her but they can both talk about their favorite things for ages. She sneaks out of NRC to visit him at RSA sometimes. 

Fleur Vanrouge: Older sister figure. Since Jane is an only child she thrives when hanging out with Fleur. They would take walks around the Vanrouge property and sometimes Blanche would let Jane help out at the bakery. Girl talks go hard between Jane, Fleur, and Luna. 

Luna Howl: Her, Alaric, and Jane are a trio that are menaces. Well two menaces and an Alaric. They’re all partners in crime much to their parents chagrin. These two spent hours running around the Howl family property and they continue to spend hours running around NRC. 

Joey Howl: Older brother figure. He’s the one who would tell the trio to not get too dirty or get into too much mischief. Jane took full advantage when she realized that him and Fleur liked each other and would help Luna try to set them up. Whenever Jane got into trouble at her old school she would call him before her parents to get some older brother advice before parent advice. 

Angel Spade: Neighbor and childhood friend part 1. Ginger cat and black cat dynamic. Jane is certainly the loud to his quiet. They still look out for each other though and bond over various video games. 

Diana Spade: Neighbor and childhood friend part 2. They’re also roommates at their dorm! They’re pretty different but growing up as neighbors with their dads working together made em figure out how to get along. Every weekend they’ll have movie nights. 

Lana Bucchi: New friend! Lana made a loud introduction and ever since, they’ve been quite the friends. They have the good? Bad? Habit of matching each other’s energy. Which is sometimes good, sometimes bad. 

Mika Bucchi: Alaric’s roommate that she met on accident. They haven’t interacted much but she’s heard a lot about him from Alaric. She can tell he’s really nice and she gets along with his sister. 

Mallory Draconia: Menaces in crime. Think of Malleus and Rory’s friendship but the complete opposite. They’re the gremlin duo that need separated, if one is in trouble, the other is also in trouble with them. Except Mallory will talk them out of trouble. 50/50 chance it works. 

Marven Leech: These two absolutely need separated. They roughhouse all the time and the twins make it almost a challenge to see who can throw Jane farther. She absolutely loves it though and loves having them as found brothers. When she told her dads about them they turned as pale as ghosts. 

Evelio Leech: He’s as bad as his brother. But they have calm moments where they talk about their interests and what’s going on with their schoolwork. 

Alora Leech: Again, need separated sometimes. These two are peas in a pod, they share so many common interests and hobbies. On top of being in the same club. They’ll pass around scary stories like candy.

Marauders - Remus - Furry Little Problem

@blondwhowrites based on their blurb abt Mattheo being a werewolf - I was considering this but with Remus, hope this is ok

Art of Remus by @sophithil on instagram

When Remus had first met James Potter and Sirius Black on the Hogwarts express in first year, he immediately felt a sense of want to protect and care for. Through his short amount of research at the time, he knew it had to do with packs, where his wolf felt bonded to certain people around him.

Hence, currently, in seventh year, his pack was made up of 5 other people. James, Sirius, Peter, Lily and finally, you. Remus first met you in fourth year, hiding in the back of the library, adorning yellow and black uniforms, a small plate of brownies he’s sure you had taken from the kitchen, that familiar pull took over. Remus wasn’t confident like James and Sirius, didn’t have the people skills of Lily, but Moony didn’t seem to really care. He could feel the wolf inside him nudging him slowly, and so, for the first time in a while, Remus had to be confident.

“Hi, sorry, do you mind if I join you?” You almost jumped out of your skin, looking up, before you cheeks blazed pink, making eye contact with the caramel eyed boy you had had a light infatuation with since 1st year. He was cute, kind, confident in his own reserved way, and unlike his counter parts, he was peaceful, and not as chaotic. Quickly, you nodded, shuffling in your seat so as to give him more room. “I’m Remus, and you are..?”

At that, Remus noticed the slight shell shocked smile on your face fall a little bit, and he could feel his wolf mourn, howling pathetically, and Remus had to fight the urge that was trying to take over and to gather you in his arms. “Y/n.” You muttered quietly, eyes being captured by the book in front of you as a distraction, trying to keep your eyes from highlighting the slight hurt that in the 5 years you had shared classes with him, and had a small school girl crush on, he didn’t even know your name. You considered for a moment, that it was foolish to believe the boy knew who you were. In most classes, you sat in the back, often alone or next to someone who had unwilling been separated from a trio. You didn’t put your hand up much, too scared that your answer would be incorrect, and would cause a roaring laughter to mock your ears.

“I’m sorry, do we have any classes together?” Remus was trying desperately to bring back that smile on your face, or to return your eyes to his own, and he didn’t particularly know what else to ask. Again, your eyes stayed trained on the same word, the book infront of your for the essay due for your herbology class. “Uh, yeah. We have DADA, herbology and care for magical creatures.” Remus’ eyes quickly widened, feeling foolish and a bit ignorant that he had no clue that you had been in so many classes with him. For a minute, silence filled the library, the only sound being your quill quickly etching the paper, trying desperately to not show any emotion.

“O-oh, really? I thought I would have noticed some as cute as you.” Remus was shocked at his own response, and suddenly realised, he had spent far too long with Sirius in his life. He noticed colour returning to your cheeks, a pink appearing just under your eyes. “So hey, would you possibly want to go to hogsmeade this weekend? We could discuss the herbology essay, possibly look at some books?” It was then your head raised, finally making eye contact, and Remus quickly realised he never wanted to let you go. The sparkles in your eye at the mention of books made him melt slightly, and he could hear moony rambling about innocent, and needing protection inside himself. “Oh, I, I mean I guess? I mean sorry, I’d love to.” You tripped over your words, but when a reassuring smile graced Remus’ face, you returned it with your own, before again your cheeks turned pink, and burrowing your head back in your book. “I’ll meet you this weekend at the Three Broomsticks?” Not trusting yourself to speak again, you nodded your head quickly, before Remus wished you a good night, the ridiculously tall boy wandering off, leaving you feeling lost in the interaction.

In your years of observing the marauders, you had expected for Remus to be relatively shy like yourself, and had not expected that level of confidence. It was then, you decided, that herbology essay be damned, Remus had completely disrupted your study time, and it was now that you needed to retire to bed, and instead of considering herbology, daydreams of your date with Remus filled your head.

“Now what time do you call this?” Sirius quickly yelled out from his spot on his own bed, spread out like a starfish, with James laying above him. In his third year, Remus had come clean to the boys about how he consider them his pack, and had forced the other 3 to merge the beds together. Often Lily was invited over, as Remus found it comforting to know his entire pack was there, where if there was any danger, he could protect them. Tonight was one of those nights, and Lily + Peter were sat together on Peters bed at the end, reading alongside each in silence.

“I met someone.” That quickly brought the attention of all 4 to the lanky boy, and James immediately noticed the love sick look that encapsulated Remus’ face. With a quick gasp, James jumped onto Remus, the burly boy e capturing the 6’8 boy in a complete hug. “How’d Moony react?” Remus’ cheeks were completely red. “He had a few things to say.” Remus’ words were muttered, which caused Lily to tut at the boy with glasses, yanking him off. “James Potter, you are not the only one who wants to hear about Remus’ new love life. Now sit down on the bed so we can all hear.” James, like a dog, looked as though he had his tailed tucked between his legs, before clambering onto the bed, getting comfortable with his head in Lily’s lap. The redhead spoke up again “So, who is it?”

“Uh, Y/n, the hufflepuff in our year. She’s in like 3 of my classes, and I never knew, and I felt really bad, but she agreed to go with me to Hogsmeade this weekend!” That caused everyone to gasp, but Sirius quickly clutched his pearls. “That’s my son! See, he does learn stuff from me! I never thought I’d see the day you’d be so brave” Sirius continued to wipe fake tears from his eyes, Remus couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

The day had taken a toll on Remus’ body, his back killing him, so he quickly laid down in bed, feeling the strands of sleep tugging on him. Pj’s adorning his body with a flick of his wand, and his pillow, aka Sirius’ comfortable chest, got into position. Moony enjoyed having something of all of his pack on him at all times. Like, right now, his Pjs were made up of a mix of James’ Gryffindor hoodie, Sirius sweat pants, Lily’s t shirt on underneath, and Peter’s stuffed rat, Remus was expecting a great nights sleep. Except, that is not at all what happened. Once everyone else had retired for the night, Remus tossed and turned, Moony mournfully circling inside him, and the lack of you around him left him restless.

When James awoke, an early bird at heart, the extra energy he gets from Quidditch, he makes eye contact with Remus. Concern immediately takes over. Remus was always the last to awaken, an old man truly always. Remus frowned, before looking at the clock next to him, groaning at the realisation it was 6 am. It was only Monday, Hogsmeade was Saturday. How in the world could he wait until then?

my golden trio uni dr!

━━━ background info ━━━

i’m pretty sure i was 16 when i originally scripted this. since then i’ve revised and changed things as i’ve gotten older.

originally i was shifting to 4th year, now i’m shifting to 1st year!

i’m a hufflepuff

i think this was also the second script i ever made after my tmnt one

━━━ about me ━━━

my name is mal parker and i am american!

i am 18 years and starting my first year at hogwarts

i'm going to hogwarts with two of my cr friends and one of my friends is already there and we'll be dormmates!

i have a 1 year old dog named nebula and i love her so much

the family owl is named celeste and she is a cutie as well

i am a hufflepuff!

since hogwarts is a university we get to major in a topic and i just don't know what to major in right now, so i will have to make decisions about it since the first two years are general classes before you take the classes focusing just on your major if that makes any sense

my wand is made of pear wood with a dragon heartstring core

━━━ extra details + hogwarts ━━━

though i do have a dormmate, our room is set up so that when we sleep we don't see each other/are even in the same room. our dorm is set up with a little study area in the middle and our rooms are attached opposite to each other

it is 2023! i wanted a modern dr because just imagine the group chats i can't wait

quidditch players have letterman jackets + captains have a captain patch on theirs

there is also cheerleaders for quidditch games to promote house pride

some inspo i used for my script:

there is a bioluminescent pool under hogwarts and the 7th years choose the password each year, the teachers do not ever go in it as they don't have the passwords

hogsmeade has some more shops in it, such as: tattoo parlor, crystal/spiritual shop, clothing shops, yule ball shop, muggle store, school supplies, and coffee shops/cafes

i don't think i even mentioned it but voldemort does not exist here

while i am moving to england and going to hogwarts, i am already friends with neville :)

we met through social media and are good friends!

we'll meet for the first time in person when the train gets to hogwarts! i am going to wife that man up

i think thats it really- if there's any questions let me know! this has been a dr that i've held close to my heart for a while now

How to tell the time of day on the SOLDIER floor

• If you see Genesis walking, mumbling LOVELESS excerpts half-heartedly, venti coffee cup in hand, equipped with giant sunglasses and using the wall for support — it's 7 AM.

• If you find Sephiroth in the elevator banging his head repeatedly against the mirror — it's 9 AM and he's just gotten back from a meeting with Heidegger.

• If you see Zack Fair loudly proclaim "I'm so hungry, I could eat a [insert something non-edible!] — it's 11 AM and it's lunch time.

• If you happen to pass by the SOLDIER cafeteria and hear "ZACK YOU CAN'T EAT ALL THAT!" followed by "HA HA HA WATCH ME!" it's also lunch time.

• If you see Kunsel from 3rd class fall from an air vent anywhere in the building — it's 12 AM and he has completed his Intel collection of the day.

• If you see a feisty blonde infantryman step off the elevator screaming "WHERE THE FUCK IS SEPHIROTH???" — it's 1 PM and Sephiroth has sent his protegee the afternoon's absurd training schedule.

• If you see a pouting Zack doing squats outside the training room with Angeal yelling at him — it's 3 PM and Zack has completed his daily give Angeal a heart attack routine.

• If you see Sephiroth with an air horn in hand and walking towards Genesis's office — it's 5 PM, he's completed all his paperwork and he's bored.

• If you see Angeal and Lazard panicking and running toward Genesis's office — it is now 5:10 PM.

• If you see professor Hojo walk off the elevator, then immediately be chased off by Cloud with a broom — it is 6 PM and Hojo has been barred from his daily attempt at checking in on Sephiroth.

• If you see the 1st class trio walking back to their apartments with Zack and Cloud in tow, all arguing over wether they should order takeout, cook or go out to eat— it's 7 PM and the work day is done.

Me and the 1st years were just chillin' in the ramshakels louge doing nothing exciting.

Grim sleeping

Ace was teaching Deuce card magic tricks

Epel watching them

Jack and Sebek studying

And there was me who was laying down at one of the couches, giggling and kicking my feet like a high school girl in love.

"Ah! What are you looking at prefect?" Ace said as him, Deuce and Epel noticed and sat down beside me. "Ohh~ who is tha- WAIT!? IS THAT FLOYD" Ace yelled at my ear earing the attention of the other 2 "Are you stalking Floyd's magicam account!?" Epel yelled. "What? Ofcourse not!" I resorted back in denial. Jack and Sebek now standing behind me, Adeuce in front of me and Epel at my side.

"Then what ARE you doing?" Deuce questioned, "Do you have a crush on him~?" Ace teased, "Why Floyd of all people? Waka-sama is right here! or even Silver is better than him!" Sebek chimed in.

"Crush!? Nononono, im just happen to stumble into his account and decided to look at it for a moment and support him:)" I explained with a blank stare and a pink hue dusting my cheeks. "What kind of support is that?" Jack scoffed suspiciously "The "Social media" support" I rolled my eyes still in denial. "Now shoo, and lets study. We have a quiz tommorow" closing my phone and sat down at the floor ready to study.

"We have a quiz!?" Deuce and Epel panicked. "Why else would we have a group study?" Jack just sigh out of pure dissapointment

Little did you know, Ace and Sebek noticed Floyd's chat head at the upper right corner in your phone and saw his message pop-up saying, "I wanna see you right now shrimpy~ I miss you:<<"

Ace:👀

Sebek:👀

*During class*

"Henchman, you're staring at Azul again" Grim stated in an annoyed tone but has an unbothered expression. "I am not" i whispered so Professor Trein won't caught us. "Yes you are!" "Prefect. Grim. Keep it down and focus on the discussion." Great, he noticed us. Everyone is now staring at us! Even Azul! This is so embarassing...

"Sorry sir.." I muttered out an apology as i bowed my head a bit. "Back to the discussion-" Professor Trein continued and 15 minutes later, he stopped writing on the board, turned around and looked at my direction "Miss/Mister L/n. Are you going to pay attention to class or are you just going to stare at Ashengrotto the entire time of my class?" Shit...

When professor said that as everyone in class looked at me, earning a bunch of "Oh~~" "Ayieee~" and whats worse is that even Azul was staring at me!

He looked completely flustered, glasses tilted and fogged and mouth gaping. He just looked away and trying to gain his composure back...

"Ohh Azul~~" "Ayiee Azul, may nag ka-ka crush saiyo~(oh Azul~, somebody has a crush on you~)" our classmates said. Then Professor trein spoke again, "Everyone settle down. L/n, this is your last warning. Pay attention to class as all of you have quiz tommorow" everybodies attention shifted back to him, some completely flabergasted(Aduece and Grim)

"Now, back to the discussion" I payed attention this time as i dont want to fail tommorow and embarass my self again. But, i took one last peak at Azul and he was staring right back, pink hue dusting his cheeks....

When he saw me staring he completely adverted his gaze into the board, trying not to blush.

-_-_-

*At lunch*

"God, save me from this hell..." i whispered to my self and burried my face into my hand as all the first years are laughing at me. Even Grim!

"YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!?" Ace was laughing his ass of along with Deuce

Epel was shaking while covering his mouth so he wouldn't burst out laughing since Vil would kill him

Jack tried to look dissapointed but his face was trying not to smile plus, his tail was waging slightly.

Sebek was mocking laughing at me so loud...

"Fuck you guys. Im just gonna order something for my self only" I stand up and walked to the server?cooks?lunch ghost? Or whatever their called.

♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡

Mr. Crewel gave us a performance task to finish in 2 weeks. He grouped us and each group has 4 people to do the task. (Un)luckly i was grouped with, "A-kun" from Octavinelle, Jamil and....Jade. Fuck

How am i suppose to focus with him around!? Like, its not a BAD thing its just that Jade was my first "crush" here in NRC.

We meet 2 weeks before the entire contract fiassco. And when i first saw him, Lord have mercey...

He was absoloutely gorgeous! He was tending his mushrooms and the lighting being a payed actor at that moment.

I was standing about 20ft away from him so i can still see him looking at his mushrooms so fondly? Lovingly? With his face resting on his prompted up hand. God i wish he'd look at me like that...

He noticed me and smiled. From that day on, we talked frequently until, i got roped into Azul's contact to "save" 200 student from his hands..

I had mixed feeling about Jade during the entire chaos happening, but all was cleared at the end of it

I cant belive I still have feelings for him...

○°○°○

'Curse those two..' Jamil and A-kun had left ME with JADE

Sitting here, trying not to explode while Jade is stading behind me, face next to mine, whispering to me on what to do, his right hand holding mine, guiding it and his left hand on top of my shoulders....

Sevens, im going to die...

adventures in christian opinions about judaism

(reposted from Twitter)

So a while back I started writing a thing on the trio of parables that ends with the prodigal son (which I still need to finish) and like MAN OH MAN do Christian commentators insist that Jews hate shepherds.

Like, I can't even count the number of commentaries that insist that shepherds were "despised figures" for first-century Jews and the parables of the lost sheep and lost coin were designed to insult the Pharisees by comparing them first to a shepherd and then to a woman.

So, as is my wont whenever Christian commentators make a claim about what was normal for first-century Judaism, I decided to try to hunt down their source on this.

As I've said many times, when it comes to Christian parable interpreters' claims about what attitudes/beliefs/etc. were normal for first-century Jews, get used to the phrase "no sources are cited."

I mean, first off, as a 21st-century Jew, the insistence that 1st-century Jews hated shepherds rings odd, given that <checks notes> Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Rachel, all of Jacob's kids (the founders of the tribes), David, etc. were all sheep-tenders. The image of God as a shepherd is pretty consistent throughout the Tanakh. That image reappears in the Qumran texts, which as far as I know, are one of the few Jewish sources we have from 1st-century Judaea.

The term "despised" gets used a lot, so I decided to dig into that one.

When I was able to find citations, I traced them back to an 1882 commentary by a guy named Frederic Farrar.

Farrar cites Heinrich Meyer as a source for this, but when I looked up THAT citation, it's Meyer saying that shepherds were a "lowly but patriarchally consecrated class" -- in other words, poor, but with a distinguished history and status.

So that's why everyone's tossing the term "despised" around--because Farrar just made it up. But what about primary sources? I went back on the hunt.

Surprisingly, in a number of reference works, like glossaries and Jeffers's "Greco-Roman World of the New Testament," I found similar assertions about the common attitude toward shepherds, for which they cited...

<drum roll>

Aristotle. You know, the Greek guy who lived 300 years before Jesus? Definitely a reliable source for Jewish attitudes of the time.

Some people cited Philo's On Agriculture. Okay, Philo was at least Jewish and lived when Jesus would have, although he was a wealthy Hellenized Jew living in Alexandria rather than a Pharisee living in the Galilee. But okay, at least it's the right culture and time period. (The reference in Philo turns out to be talking about the section of Genesis in which Joseph's brothers come visit him in Egypt. It talks about how they were proud to be shepherds, and criticizes (gentile) kings who look down on shepherds.)

Then we've got Mishnah Kiddushin, in which a bunch of rabbis are having a debate about which professions make you trustworthy vs untrustworthy, and one rabbi lists everyone from camel-drivers to herders to barbers to shopkeepers as untrustworthy. Another rabbi comes back and is like, nah, all those people are fine upstanding folks; it's doctors and butchers you've gotta watch out for. So they're citing one cranky dude with a LONG list of people he doesn't like, who immediately gets shot down, as evidence of the normative attitude for Jews about a century earlier.

Oh, and we've got a citation of Midrash Tehillim which says that God-as-shepherd doesn't have any of the failings of humans-as-shepherds, which... sure. Also, it was codified in the 1300s?

The most compelling citation is from the Talmud (Sanhedrin 25b), in which the rabbis discuss who's qualified to be a legal witness. They exclude shepherds, because shepherds graze their animals on other people's land, which some of the rabbis see as a type of theft.

The Talmud is a record of debates, but this passage definitely makes it sound like this is a majority opinion. (It should be noted that the passage disqualifies all KINDS of people, from those who lend with interest to those who fly pigeons, as having conflicts of interest.)

But the important thing here is that the Talmud includes records of debates from as late as the 4th or 5th centuries CE (300-400 years after Jesus's time), and the passage makes a point of noting that the disqualification of shepherds as witnesses is a later development.

So in other words, the idea that the Pharisees hated shepherds and would have been insulted by Jesus telling a story in which the protagonist was a shepherd is based either on Greek attitudes that are 300 years too early or Jewish ones that are 300-400 years too late.

But people will twist themselves into citation knots (or just not bother citing a source at all) to insist that this was a common attitude so they can position the Pharisees as hating those charming humble shepherds and their fuzzy little lambs.

As to WHY this idea seems to be so important to them, well, you cannot read about Luke 15 without encountering the word "outcast" roughly 90 times per page.

The framing is Jesus was friend to The Outcasts while the Pharisees despised The Outcasts and the Lost Sheep, Coin, and Sons are all parables about accepting The Outcast.

Never mind that neither the sheep, the coin, nor either of the sons got kicked out of their communities. The sheep wandered off, as sheep are wont to do, the coin was lost by its owner, and the younger son decided to leave to go on a spending spree while the older son declined to attend the welcome back party for him after his dad managed to hire a band and caterers but never thought to let his own son know what was going on and he had to find out from a hired hand.

Moreover, the term "outcasts" gets used as a synonym for "tax collectors and sinners." Tax collectors were usually pretty well-off because they ran a protection racket for the Romans. Outcasts? I mean, I guess? But hardly in the "marginalized and powerless" sense.

As far as "sinners," the NT doesn't usually bother telling us what, exactly, they did to "sin," but on the rare occasions when it does offer that context, it's almost always wealthy people.

But why talk about that when they can present the objection the Pharisees had to Jesus's dining with "tax collectors and sinners" as the Pharisees despising lowly outcasts, and insist that the Pharisees hated the idea of such people repenting and returning, and so Jesus was tweaking their noses by comparing them to shepherds and women.

As if, you know, teshuvah wasn't something the Pharisees were ALL ABOUT. If you want to actually understand, consider that the iconic tax collector in the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector shows no inclination to STOP being a tax collector.

The objection wasn't you're having a friendly dinner with poor lowly outcasts for whom we have contempt. It was you're having a friendly dinner with people who are extorting their neighbors on behalf of the invaders who kill us for looking at them funny and have expressed no intention to stop doing that.

Now, there's a good discussion to be had about whether shunning Trump lawyers and Marjorie Taylor-Greene donors or inviting them to dinner and trying to win them over with compassion is more effective, more ethical, more compassionate (to whom?), etc.

But presumably we can see why people of intelligence and goodwill might disagree on which of those approaches is the right thing to do, and why such people might might object to the strategy they don't agree with.

But what really gets me is that Christians have the utter fucking NERVE to paint the Pharisees as inhumanly awful for not wanting to have dinner with tax collectors while viewing Corinthians as Holy Writ:

I mean, Paul's all YOU MUST SHUN ALCOHOLICS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE GREEDY and Christians are like yes, that makes sense, but if the Pharisees are like, no, I don't want to have dinner with that guy who narced on my cousin and got him crucified, Christians are like, they're monsters.

Cool, cool.

Anyway, this has been your weekly edition of Christians Need To Stop Just Making Shit Up About Jews And Then Citing Each Other Like It's Fact.

And there were a lot of "I've never heard anyone say Jews of Jesus's time hated shepherds..." responses: Maybe you haven't, but that doesn't make it uncommon.

PJO Hogwarts au

Because I'm bored

Percy Jackson

His mom was a squib

His dad comes from rich and bigoted pureblood family, a part of sacred 28

His family didn't let him be with Sally so he wasn't, cause "it was the best for everyone"

Percy was raised by Sally in a muggle neighborhood but he knew he was a wizard

He attended a public muggle school before hogwarts, actually a few cause he was expelled few times due to "mysterious disasters"(accidental magic)

He knows who his dad is but never met him in person, has conflicted feelings about him

When he gets to hogwarts, he's a hastall

The hat wants to put him in slytherin, cause he's cunning and resourceful but he met some kids from slytherin on the train and they said bad things about he's mom so he doesn't want to go there

He asks the Hat to put him in Hufflepuff- that's where his mom wanted to be but the Hat disagrees- apparently he's not "hardworking and honest enough"(rude)

He ends up in Gryffindor, which he doesn't like at first, especially after he meets Clarisse- a violent Gryffindor 3rd year, but changes his mind when he meets Luke - a Gryffindor 7th year and the Head Boy, who becomes his mentor and older brother figure

Through Luke he meets annabeth, a 1st year slytherin, but they don't become friends at first, only after the end of the year, when they find out that Luke has been working for Dark Wizard this entire time and they bond over feeling betrayed.

Before that, he makes another friend. A few days in he sees a 1st year Hufflepuff being bullied by older kids and without thinking jumps in to help. The kid introduces himself as Grover and out of gratitude offers to be his loyal friend forever

At the end of 1st year Grover Percy and Annabeth solve a mystery together that leads them to find out about Luke and after that they become a trio

Percy often gets in trouble but not on purpose - he has zero tolerance for bullies and gets in fights at least 1 a week

McGonagall said he beated detention record in 1 month previously set by James Potter and Sirius Black in 1975

Okay maybe it is his fault when he gets caught in Forbidden Forest - he and Grover visit it regularly in search for rare Magical plants(for grover) and dangerous creatures( for both of them) - the rest of the school thinks they are kind of insane

He loves Magical creatures, even dangerous ones (especially horse shaped, dog shaped, and related to water), is friends with Hagrid and often he and Grover help him preparing classes

He even swimmed in the Lake and claims to be friends with the Giant Squid- no one knows if he's joking or not

That's partially why people are wary of him- they think he's a decent person, but a bit weird and unhinged

His favourite classes are CoMC and Potions - they remind him of cooking with his mom

He likes spells that are connected to nature and elements- they require less control and knowledge but more power and emotions

He's a good duelist due to his fast reflexes

He plays qudditch as a chaser and that's how he becomes less enemies and more frenemies with Clarisse, who is a qudditch captain

When his older he's not a Prefect but a lot of younger kids like him anyway and seek his advice - although his advices often involve breaking the rules

His patronus is a pegasus

Grover Underwood

He's actually a bit older than the rest- he's birthday is in October

He's a pureblood but not sacred 28

His parents are dead and he grew up with his uncle, who doesn't really care and just lets Grover do whatever( mister D)

He's a metamorphomagus but for a long time he can't control it when he's nervous he often accidentally grows little horns ( Percy calls him Goat men because of it)

That's why he wears a hat at all times( just in case) and also the reason why he is bullied

He knew Annabeth before Hogwarts, not very well, but they were kind of friends when they were kids but when Annabeth's other friend thalia died, she got distanced and by the time they got to hogwart they haven't talked for years

He seems to be scared of everything EXCEPT ACTUAL DANGEROUS CRETURES AND PLANTS

he keeps some illegal Magical plants in his bedroom (although it's really hard getting to his bed when he has carnivore/murderous/poisonus plants growing around his bed)

His favourite classes are CoMC and Herbology

He owns a pygmy puff and an owl

Had to replace his wand 3 times cause he chews on it when his nervous

Fights for creatures rights

Becomes a Prefect and is really good with kids
