a little bit of Brain Dump

Does anyone else sometimes get overwhelmed by the HP fandom (especially the Marauders' side of it) on Instagram? There's a lot... :) Don't get me wrong; I love all the content, but it sometimes feels like it's a lot of the same.

I have decided to limit my time on the socials just a bit... I'm still making new art, but I'm aiming to make one piece a week. It's better for my creativity. I have more room in my brain for new ideas, instead of scrolling through other people's art. I love and appreciate all the love on here, though. You guys are so nice <3 And I love getting messages, so don't hesitate if there's something you'd like to ask me :) All my love! Fleur

Harry Potter Themed Vacation in Florida

Here are a few ideas for a Harry Potter-themed vacation in Florida:

Visit Universal Orlando Resort: Universal Orlando Resort is home to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which includes Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade Village, and Diagon Alley. You can ride the Hogwarts Express between the two areas, visit Ollivanders Wand Shop, and try Butterbeer at The Leaky Cauldron.

Take a Harry Potter tour: There are many companies that offer Harry Potter tours of the Universal Orlando Resort, which will take you to all of the Harry Potter attractions and provide you with more information about the movies.

Stay in a Harry Potter-themed hotel: The Universal Orlando Resort has several Harry Potter-themed hotel rooms, such as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Themed Rooms at Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort.

Visit the Harry Potter exhibit at the Orlando Science Center: The Orlando Science Center has a Harry Potter: The Exhibition, which features authentic costumes, props, and sets from the Harry Potter movies.

Go shopping for Harry Potter souvenirs: The Universal Orlando Resort has several Harry Potter shops where you can find souvenirs and merchandise to take home with you.

I hope these ideas help you plan a magical Harry Potter vacation in Florida!

CHAPTER 45: BETWEEN COURAGE AND CHAOS

The weather was nice today, almost balmy, so, naturally, the stone benches that were grouped around a small, overgrown fountain in the middle of the courtyard would be occupied by the seventh-years.

Not all of them, of course, but I knew that the seventh-year I was looking for would be there.

I let myself fall back a little as my friends continued to discuss the world’s worst Patronuses, their voices ringing out over the general lunch break racket, and I felt my heartbeat scatter when I glanced at the group that was sprawled over the low benches. It was an unwritten rule that the sunny spot in the porticoed courtyard close to the Great Hall was reserved for the seventh-years and traditions were nothing if not venerated at Hogwarts. 

I knew all of them, of course. These were the people everybody knew; the people you would automatically think about when you remembered your school time even though you had never been a part of theirs. Augustus Cotton was taking up an entire bench, his head hanging over the edge so that his blond hair almost touched the ground as Benji Thomas was trying to toss grapes into his open mouth, but my eyes immediately drifted to James. He was straddling a half-crumbling stone bench, one leg drawn up underneath him and, across from him, her shiny brown hair tumbling down her back in loose curls, was Athena.

Mischief Managed Sim - Second Life RolePlay

Credit: Beginning Photo taken by Mischief Managed Sim and  Photo of girl with book on her head is also from Mischief Managed and can be found on the same Instagram page. The Instagram page can be found at this link~https://www.instagram.com/hogwartsmischiefmanagedsl/

Let’s be honest, there are very few people who aren’t fans of J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter Series. What if I told you there was a Roleplaying experience where you could play the role of a Hogwarts student? I’ll be honest, I’ve been trying to get into this Roleplaying sim for years. I’ve always loved and have been immersed with the Harry Potter book series and the movies. I found myself reading and watching Harry Potter often as a kid loving a world that is filled with magic and experiences relevant to each individual. I was so excited to finally be accepted into this Roleplaying sim experience through Linden Labs Second Life platform (for reference I use the Firestorm viewer). This post as always will be labeled by sections so you’re able to choose what you want to read after the initial post below. 

To begin, Mischief Managed is unlike any RP sim I’ve ever been in. Being a complete nerd and having a full love of the series this is truly an experience. When you first enter the sim you are welcomed at the starting point which is platform 9 3/4 with the Hogwarts train at Kings Cross Station. From here you can learn all about the sim, go through the application process, grab a HUD if you're new, or if you are coming onto the sim as someone new on Monday’s is what they call Open Sim Day. Typically the sim is closed to members who did not apply and are not apart of the RP. However, on these days at the front you pick up a tag that says OOC this stands for out of character and you are able to experience and explore the entire sim without the need for commitment to the RP experience. Typically you will find bloggers, photographers, and explorers alike coming and enjoying the scenic views and learning about the RP community and everything Mischief Managed has to offer. Otherwise the sim is closed off all other days. This sim keep in mind is a complete replica of the Harry Potter Universe this includes but is not limited to; Hogsmede, King’s Cross Station, Diagon Alley, and Hogwarts. 

I’ll be honest, I went through the application process because I really wanted to experience and be apart of this RP. Finally an RP I felt I would truly enjoy. The only RP sim I am a part of inside of Second Life is the 1920′s Berlin sim which is truly a hidden gem and a lot of fun. My post on the 1920′s Berlin RP sim can be found here: www. 

The application process asks for a lot so be prepared you can read more about this later on in the posts by looking for the title that says “Application Process.” There is also a HUD that enhances the overall RP experience for everyone involved. To keep myself rather anonymous since that’s what I do best even though if any of the members read this they will most likely know who I am, my character traits are listed below:

House: Gryffindor First Year Student

Age: 12 years old

Wand: Phoenix Feather, 10 inches, 

Character Traits:

Backstory:

Characteristic: Red hair, small, average weight but more on the skinny side, with light blue eyes.

On my first day on the sim I decided to take part in the open sim day to see if this would be an RP sim I would enjoy. I fell in love with the scenic views and how everything was created as an exact replica of the Harry Potter Universe. I enjoyed walking through the sim and experiencing everything there was to experience. That day everyone was so nice and introduced themselves as their RP characters and out of character. Everyone is so kind, respectful, and fun to chat with. I found a lot of photographers taking photos of couples in front of the castle and others taking scenic shots. I saw bloggers who were walking around and gaining information to partake in creating. post. There were so many different people who were enjoying everything Mischief Managed had to offer. 

On my first day after my application was processed and accepted I fell in love with the RP I was already creating with my character. This was my first time RPing as a child avatar which I typically would not do. However, this was an exception I wanted to experience every year in order and wanted to start from the beginning and work my way up. Especially since this is what is seen in the Harry Potter books and movies and is communicated within Harry Potter lore. The sim has a Discord server to join if you have a Discord. This was a little confusing to me but everyone was so nice once I entered. I was automatically placed in the Gryffindor server. In each server there are specific events for each house, and the RP is truly unique. I fell in love with the RP, the kindness and helpfulness of the people, the experience that is created with everything involved, the sim scenery it is the perfect place and RP for any fan of Harry Potter. 

In conclusion, I highly recommend becoming a part of the RP or even just exploring the sim during open sim days on Monday’s. The experience is truly unique and there is so much to discover and explore. There are so many people who are drama free and respectful to all and there is no need to be afraid to be yourself. Everyone is super accepting through your visit whether you are a member of the sim after the application process or visiting out of character. If you have never checked out this sim before please do. Below you will find the location link, the Mischief Managed website link, and social media links.

Application Process:

This specific Roleplaying sim is highly sought after, because of this there is a full application process. Crazy right? Ahead of time you should have an idea of your character, their background story, interests, wand - size, length, and wood, character traits, and make sure you are able to compile a well written role-play post or they may not accept you in. The application process this time around for me took about 7 days. I used the Pottermore website now called www.WizardingWorld.com to complete my characters profile such as the house they are in, their wand size, length, and wood, and my characters Patronous. You can apply to be a student, adult, part of the ministry, a professor, etc. The sim is a non-profit and giant money through their donations to keep the Roleplay sim running. For more information you can go to https://mischiefmanagedsl.net . Keep in mind there is a dress code. Also there are classes throughout the evening. All of the activities are on SLT and PST (PST is Second Life Time = SLT). If you are interested in applying please make sure your RP skills are okay and you can effectively create an RP post and communicate as a character and not just yourself. If you don’t have at least beginner level RP skills you may not be accepted. Also you need a beginning spread to an RP character ahead of time when you apply with an idea of character characteristics, personality trait, when the first time magic was seen from your character, school house, school year/age, parental history, and small bio. 

Open Sim Day:

Monday’s are considered open sim day. The sim is primarily only open to RP members every day except for Monday’s. On Monday they have a day where OOC (out of character) avatars can explore and experience the sim before considering applying to the RP. This is a way for people to experience the sim on their own, take pictures, and enjoy the sim itself without having to be a member of the sim or having the need to RP. These are great days to experience especially if you are a fan of Harry Potter but don’t want to commit to creating a character and RPing once or more a week to keep current. 

RP HUD:

Yes! there is an actual HUD created by the creators of the sim. The HUD is an added component to enhance the RP. In this HUD there is a link to bring you to the schools paper which is through your external browser. It opens up a link to the webpage with all of the information for classes, RP opportunities for the week, and events. Another added component is your bio. It tells your RP name, your house, and your wand information as well as what you are for example, I’m labeled as a first year student in Gryffindor. Yes I am a Gryffindor! There is a button on your HUD for your stats. In each location you have the opportunity to interact with objects and different things. An example of this is, if you go to Hogsmede and your RPing as an adult you can get an alcoholic beverage and it will fill up your food and beverage meter. There are different bars you need to keep full throughout your RP experience. It makes it more real and can kind of remind of the The Sims 4 health bars. The different bars and what you need to do is listed below to keep them full. This RP is truly a whole experience. 

Communication - When you RP inside of the Mischief Managed Sim you will fill your communication bar.

Food/Beverage - When you drink or eat in the dining hall or anywhere else on the sim you will fill your food/beverage bar.

Bathroom/Cleanliness - When you clean yourself in the showers or use the bathroom on the sim you will fill up your bathroom bar. 

the only way your bars will fill up is you you use your HUD on the sim you can’t use it off sim. 

The HUD and RP is beginner friendly to those who are fairly new to RPing but were accepted or for those who are fantastic at RPing but not the best at working add ons inside of SL such as HUDs in general. 

There is also a button for your inventory. Yes, you can interact with everything inside of your inventory. This HUD is a simple point and click interface. When you are in world paying for your school supplies inside of your inventory there are coins to help you buy things. Weekly an allowance is given to all members through your HUD. I currently have a cauldron in my inventory and the money I need to buy and interact with stores and objects inside of the Sim. This is very brief information about the HUD but I really love how it adds to the overall experience. It definitely immerses me more into the sim and the overall RP with others. 

The pics below are part of the HUD there is a skills section and more. They really went all in with providing the best Roleplaying experience. To learn more you can visit their website.

My First Day Experience:

I’ll be honest with everyone I recently joined this RP sim but have fallen in love with the sim, experience, and how helpful, kind, and fun the people who RP on the sim are. It’s very drama free and the story is always developing, you are the story. This is something I’ve always loved about virtual worlds, the RP experience. Right after being accepted I needed to join the Discord server, I was so nervous but everybody was so nice and welcoming. Everyone who RPs and saw I was new and joined welcomed me with open arms and asked how I was. The people are just so friendly, in character and out of character. The group is close knit and you slowly develop your character and join the others. It is so much fun. Being able to go to different areas of the sim and see something new in each area is so much fun. The creators of the sim created an exact replica of Hogwarts castle and honestly the amount of creativity and time that went into this sim is simply amazing. You can tell how much work truly went into making this experience unique. If you love Harry Potter and enjoy virtual worlds and Roleplaying this is definitely the sim for you. The experience is unlike any other and I could spend hours just chatting and developing my character in this world inside of a virtual world. If you are unsure as stated before there is an open sim day on Monday’s I highly suggest participating and taking a look it is worth taking in the scenery. 

Other Photos of Scenery Explored in the Sim:

Please note that all of the photos are not edited. I wanted everyone to get a feel for the sim for how it is in it’s natural form. However, my avatars photo is definitely edited slightly. But all other photos that are mine and put into this post are RAW. I like producing RAW images inside of SL it shows how the place truly looks. Don’t get me wrong editing photos can improve the beauty in each and every place but everyone should see the place experienced for what it is.

i just found ur account and wanted to let u know that i’m absolutely obsessed!!

i love the way u somehow combine this childlike wonder and nostalgia i connect with discovering the hp-verse so many years ago with the modern versions and stories i have in my head now. just beautiful.

You know, this wonderful message made me stop for a minute. I was just sitting casually at the breakfast table, eating my oatmeal, reading my little book, sipping my coffee, listening to my Dad mutter about taxes, and my mother giggling over cat videos... Every regular Friday morning, right? ... Where was I? Oh right, I read your message! And I felt my heart swell <3 Thank you. It's so lovely to hear that you experience my art like this. I do these drawings mostly for fun because I've always loved drawing HP characters and putting my own spin on the world. And since creating this blog, that has changed so much. For the better, don't worry :) I get messages like this and I'm reminded of how much fun it is to share art. I think I read all the books for the first time when I was nine...? Nine or ten, I think. It changed my life! It sparked a lifetime of reading pleasure and an obsession with fantasy and fairytales. Then, I was already drawing the characters and imagining how it would feel to live in the Wizarding World. And it's just like you said, creating this art now feels nostalgic, yet new at the same time. We're all adults now (most of us, I think, I don't actually know) but we can't let childlike wonder ever go away. It is what keeps us creative and opens our minds and hearts to new and exciting experiences. That is what I want people to feel when they experience my art. The little spark of magic that never really went away. My art is for the eleven-year-old versions of ourselves that never got their Hogwarts letter.

Sharing Sunday

Today I am going to share some written words by someone better known for their visual art. @its-only-nanse has drawn some truly wonderful, amazing HP fan art, primarily Hinny (which is by me just fine as I am definitely a Hinny stan). This made it into my bookmarks the first time I read it. Their summary is short and sweet. "Minerva just wants to enjoy her break, Dolores has other ideas." And while I accept their noted disclaimer: I don't really know how cats work...

Well, judge for yourself.
