"James matured, Snape did not"

my honest reaction:

[wtfastaroth]

NONONO HEAR ME OUT

Do you know when Odysseus was trapped on Calypso's island for 7 years? What if something similar happened to Sinbad?

After the final battle in the sacred palace, the djinns imprisoned him in a dungeon that he alone is unable to escape.

It would make a great AU ok?

Do you see the vision

WHY are people that bothered with Anne's hair? I don't get it????????

The Yami Family Part 2

An unexpected development in the future of Clover is that of Ichika starting a family which consists of herself and her two sons, Kai'ichi and Shigehiro.

..........

Kai'ichi Yami

His name is written as 介一. The first character means "to mediate," "assist," "shellfish" or "armor." The second character means "one."

Age: 15

Birthday: August 30

Magic Attribute: Dark

Appearance: Pitch black hair like his mother with matching bangs parted down the middle. His hair just reaches his shoulders and he ties his more forward hair into small clumps that frame his face and the back hair into a low ponytail. His eyes are a dark shade of gray.

Personality: A natural born genius when it comes to his magic and swordsmanship. And Kai'ichi is brimming with confidence because of that. He knows his strength and is driven to live up to his full potential because of it. Influenced by uncle Sukehiro, he's quick to anger and prefers physical solutions to problems. He rarely thinks before he acts, and even when he does put thought into his choices, he fails to consider the big picture/long term consequences. He's a lot more feral in a fight than either Sukehiro or Ichika, likely getting it from lessons with Ginnojoumorifuyu. He runs on instinct (greatly helped by a keen sense for ki that surpasses even Asta's) and adrenaline. He's great when allowed to act on his own, but in social situations, he tends to put his foot in his mouth. Little sense of decorum and unable to read a room, he's made a lot of enemies by pointing out things that shouldn't be brought up in polite company.

Kai'ichi gets along great with all of his cousins. He helps Saki in her garden whenever he gets the chance to visit Clover and he helps her train to control her wild, black roses. He does wish she'd open up more. Kai and Ann are able to match each other's strength and energy, often sparring to see who is the better swordsman (they currently stand at a tie of 15 wins each and then 32 draws). Because of their similar attributes and Kenzou being the same age as Shigehiro, Kai favors Ken above the girls. Kai'ichi enables bold and stubborn attitude. He befriends Kohaku as a fellow visitor from Hino and even gets his sword repaired by the younger boy. He's met the Cresswells and thinks highly of Daniel who brings out the best in Saki and is amused by Jill bringing out the funniest side of Ann.

Kai'ichi's ultimate goal is to become a member of the Ryuzen Seven just like his mother before him.

Ichika is extremely cagey regarding the topic of the boys' father. She most she states about him is that he has her upmost respect. The boys also don't say much about him and only ever confirm that he is, in fact, still alive.

Doesn't have a good relationship with Liebe or the Bremen devils since he's tried using his Dark Magic on them after hearing of his uncle Sukehiro's battle against Lucifero.

Shigehiro Yami

The characters used in Shigehiro's name are 成大. The first character means "to become" or "to do something." The second means "big."

Age: 11

Birthday: May 1

Magic Attribute: Shadow

Appearance: Shigehiro's hair is pure black in color, just like his mother's. He keeps it cut short, which leave it looking unruly, much like his uncle's hair style. He has one longer bunch of hair on his left side which he does in a braid, a choice borrowed from Aunt Charlotte. His eyes are gray like his mother's.

Personality: Shigehiro more stoic like his mom, appearing cool-headed and nonchalant. He's is slow to anger and even when upset, he holds himself back from lashing out. Being very careful, he can weave his way through social interactions easily though makes them as brief as he can. This composure has earned him admiration and praise. However, his calm hides his hidden anger. He feels overshadowed by Kai due to not being a natural talent and thinking his Shadow magic is "diluted" Dark Magic. Ichika reassures Shige that she is proud of him regardless of his magic or skill (especially since comparing Kai and Shige is ridiculous with the 4 year difference between them). He ceaselessly pushes himself until he collapses and, at least in his youth, hasn't yet learned to let himself rest.

While he doesn't do a good job at keeping up with Kenzou's energy, Shigehiro does appreciate his cousin's encouragement. He spends a lot of time with Saki and they can carry quite lengthy conversations despite how quiet they normally are. Shigehiro admires Ann's strength but finds it hard to approach her. He's friendly with Kohaku and Vivian, and they often picnic together, though he's much closer to Kohaku as he finds Vivian's stoicism unnerving ("My stoicism is different. I have to actively stay composed while Miss Vivian is more like a doll, eerie and lifeless," he would say if they're compared). Despite being encouraged to spend time with Aimee, Jesse, and Alfred due not being much older than them, he admits that they intimidate him, but in a good way (no one gets what Shige means by that).

Wanting to carve a path for himself outside of the shadow of his mother and brother, Shigehiro eventually leaves Hino in order to travel the world as a wandering mage.

Shigehiro reluctantly takes magic lessons from Nacht because of their shared attribute (wishing to have Dark Magic so he could learn from his mother and uncle). He's shared lessons with Dusk and greatly envies Dusk for the relationship he has with his father.

Unlike the rest of his family, he doesn't use a weapon in conjunction with his Dark Magic and uses unarmed martial arts instead.

also if it wasn't obvious i've retconned the Lena's A Witch plotline because it's supremely fucking stupid, shortsighted, and clearly the writers ran out of ideas and decided hur dur morgana 2.0

[ooc-themis-cattails]

i feel like my readers (and the cat story fandom in general) would super appreciate the idea I just had, which won't really work for my comic but--a set of pride flags for cats that incorporated whether that cat was spayed/neutered. Nobody in my forest has had the snippy snippy so there's nobody who could use a flag like that, but maybe some other fandom has a niche for it. (this brought to you by my cat propositioning me by moving her tail to one side. NO please find another cat to do that with. but happy Pride to her)

[adharagranley-writer]

me: omg i'd LOVE to finish my book x: then... write? me: don't be ridiculous

[catgirlwheels]

It does want to eat the bigger number though

Accidentally analysed a text out of boredom

[rmhashauthor]

My father - rest his soul - did not teach me how to set traps, skin rabbits, field-dress deer, fish, hunt, sew, track, raise chickens, build campfires, construct shelters, debone fish, watch where the animals drink, pick berries, identify wild herbs and listen to the environment so that I would huddle in a root-cellar for the rest of my days post-collapse.

My mother did not teach me how to clean and wrap wounds, stop bleeding, tie sutures, grow vegetables, raise bees, trust my instincts and shoot rifles as well as pistols for me to live off of tinned beans.

I did not teach myself how to can, dry, pickle and confit, make wine, crochet, macrame, make baskets, fletch arrows, identify and grow medicinal plants, make extracts, germinate seeds, and monitor weather conditions just to stockpile dry goods in my basement.

doomsday preppers always keeping rusty tins of food in their basement but never building springhouses and smokehouses and paddocks for future livestock 🤨 those canned peaches are only going to bring you so far babe

"I'm Nora Cursed. Ask me about my poor, departed children."

The Leftovers, "Don't Be Ridiculous"

[gotstabbedbyapen]

It's always "Hades isn't bad or cruel, his deeds are just metaphors of the inevitable death" or "Hades kidnapping Persephone represent the premature death".

But when the argument "Zeus has numerous affairs and many children because he represent the fertile rain" is brought up, all nuance is suddenly out of the window and Zeus is just a womanizer who can't keep it in his pants.

Ok hear me out: Narilamb but they're both aroace and in a qpr.

I've been rolling around in my head for like a long long time this idea that Narinder and Lambert could both be aroace and (after like. A couple of centuries or so) end up in this like very comfortable very close relationship that neither of them define as anything specific other than calling it a "companionship". But on the other hand most of the cult thinks that they're dating in secret or something despite the fact that both of them have said they don't take lovers, because they are clearly very tight but maybe not super openly so, so maybe the cultists thing they're being secretive and hiding something or something like that. Idk but my aroace brain loves thinking about extremely close (mostly) platonic relationships and for some reason my brain decided hmm. I'm going to take this and throw it at Narilamb and see how I like it.

So then I decided to make a ridiculous joke comic about Narinder asking Lambert's hand in marriage specifically because he wants to get out of paying taxes. Because like, I know that spouse followers do actually still have to pay taxes in the actual game but. Hey Narinder and Lambert have presumably never married so they probably don't know that...? Honestly the only reason I made this was because the concept tickled me and I spent too much time on this for no one to see it, so. This comic and all it's absolute ridiculousness be upon ye.

While there's a tiny part of me that's been thinking about making this into an AU (which I'd probably call something like the "Strictly Platonic AU" or something), I know for a fact that I would blatantly not do anything legitimate with it so. It's an unofficial AU I guess?? But. Anyways. I thought this would be funny. Enjoy my ramblings and I hope you enjoy this thing that I spent. Actual time on. Lol
