Day 19. Favorite casting
It took me some time to get to this one because FOR SOME REASON I WONDER WHY!! I couldn't find a single gif from the 2004 film so I had to make one myself... there's only one bc I seem to get new gray hair each time I make a gif! No idea if I ever get better at it... So anyway...
I've said it many times before and I'll repeat it: I really like Theodor Loos as Gunther from the 1924 movie...
...and Julian Sands as Hagen from the 2004 movie.
That's it :)

"M, o vampiro de Dusseldorf" (M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder) - cinema.
Projeção de cópia restaurada desse filme de 1931 no cineSESC, portanto imperdível. Assisti esse filme em VHS quando estava na faculdade, mil novecentos e bolinha. Considerado o primeiro a usar o som como elemento dramático e não apenas novidade técnica.
depois de ver: no começo da projeção explicam que existem algumas versões do filme. esta, dizem, é a mais parecida com o original tanto em imagem como em som. filme bem moderno, tem certo humor, bom uso da montagem e um final perfeito. Peter Lorre dá um show!

It’s a landmark of science fiction filmmaking and a visionary work of cinema. Its design and scope influenced filmmakers and inspired artists the world over and its imagery echoes through such films as Star Wars (1977), Blade Runner (1982), and…

Perhaps it was your awkward glances. Or maybe the way you’d do something silly like accidentally write the wrong year for today’s date then nervously survey the area as if anyone would notice. If anyone were to notice they’d have to be looking very closely…practically observing you. And that is precisely the gift Theodore Nott had been given as he was sat one bench above you in the DADA classroom his gaze directly hitting your paper and the side of your stressed and contorted face.
Yes this test was difficult but Theodore has studied incessantly for it. You see, Theodore Nott never studies but he had a plan. A plan that he chickened out on last minute.
The night prior he had been sitting in the library waiting for your arrival. He knows you arrive around 8pm right after dinner and quidditch practice. You were about to sit when Theodore Nott appeared in your peripheral with a slight deranged half smile on his face. His face rarely showed emotion but there was something manic in it at the moment per your mental Theo facial expression log.
“Hi Theo, you okay?” you lightly laugh as you see him stumble a bit.
Theodore mentally thanked himself for evading his friends’ questions as to where he heads off to around this time because if they saw the usually stoic Nott stumbling over his feet in front of this girl he’d never hear the end of it.
“Yes…yes I was just wondering if you needed some studying company?”
You smile warmly at him his presence itself warming you up from the cold you had just endure in the November night air while at Quidditch practice.
“I’ll definitely need someone to wake me up in case I fall asleep reading about the theoretical applications of non-verbal spell casting…you’re hired Nott.”
Theo smirks as he sits himself down a bit too close to you. He realizes in a panic and jerks back almost tilting over in his haste if you hadn’t steadied his chair.
“Theo, maybe you should cut down on those cigarettes,” you smirk as a light rouge paints his carved face.
Theo feels like digging a hole in the library ground and burying himself in it away from your hypnotic gaze but, at the same time, he cannot help but bask in it.
Initially his plan was working as he hoped it would. You admitted the things you didn’t know and Theo helped you brush up on it and quizzed you on certain terms. You both had even found some time to laugh and joke about things such as the drawer filled collection of ballerina hair gel Theo had found Draco hoarding in the “forbidden drawer”. They were both becoming comfortable and Theo lost his edge as he melted into your presence. Things went downhill after that as perhaps Theo became a bit too comfortable. As he was watching you read a portion of your textbook…your lips moving in slow motion and your eyebrows scrunched in the most adorable manner…he couldn’t help but mutter under his breath out:
“You’re so cute..”
You perked up as you couldn’t believe your ears. While your brain was immersed in the world of DADA your senses were in high alert within the presence of the boy you adored in silence.
“What did you just say?”
Theo at this point went into full lockdown mode as he slightly jumped exclaiming “I said you look like a boot!!” he blurted out as if that would salvage him in her eyes…her gorgeous, bright eyes.
You looked quite puzzled as you didn’t know exactly what that meant. Perhaps it was the way you had styled your hair? Or done your makeup? His sentence made zero sense and you weren’t quite sure how to feel.
Theo, however, had lost his marbles while he seemed expressionless on the outside his brain was short-circuiting.
“Uh…you know what I think I need to leave to um…use the loo? Yes I wonder what they put in that pumpkin juice because let me just tell you, y/n, it was NOT good…you think the elves are after me?,” he laughs nervously as he quickly slams his book shut attracting the attention of every student in the library as the sound echoes off the shelves.
“Merlin, where’d I get that strength!” he strains out with that same deranged, manic look returning to his face except this time in more volume. Before you could utter a word Theo scrambles out of the library. It takes you a few seconds to piece together what just happened but you eventually stand up leaving your things behind to find Theo. But once you reach the entrance of the library he was long gone…
You had spent a while pondering that occurrence and what he said to you. That night you had laid awake in bed. You were sure he had said you were cute, right? I mean obviously. Theodore had always been jumpy since you had officially met him that one day in 5th year in Potions as you two were partners. He was quiet yet endearing and you had fallen instantly. The only problem was your adoration for him had always felt like a dead end. As shy as he seemed Theo got around and to be fair you’d never felt like you had a chance…were you blind? No of course not. You were realistic…right?
And so we return to the day of the test and Theo who had finished 20 minutes early due to his vast knowledge he has filled his privileged brain with simply for, well, you. You were his everything. You had stolen the very air he breathed from the moment you slid in next to him in Potions. You held his breath captive and he simply couldn’t act human next to you. You loosened him up more than any of his expensive Italian cigarettes could. He was addicted.
After class Theo had begun his walk to his next class when he heard his favorite voice calling his name. God if he could only record your voice in one of those muggle devices. Mental note to buy one of those next time he secretly visited muggle London. He slowly spun around gripping his messenger bag for dear life for he could feel himself becoming light headed already.
“I think I had an aneurysm taking that test,” you laugh indulging in Theo’s dazed expression as it fuels your confidence. “I just wanted to tell you that you look cute..” you purposefully mumble the last part so that Theo could barely catch your words.
Theo’s heart soared and dropped and did somersaults all at the same time when he heard your words. “Wh-what?”
“I said you look like a grapefruit!” you yell falling into a fit of laughter as Theo gazes at you looking dumbstruck.
“I think this is the part I run away,” you quip raising your eyebrow at him playfully
“No I think this is the part I shake myself out of it and just ask the girl of my dreams on a date,” Theo breathes out attempting to recover from his actions the day before
You put your hand above your eyes as if shielding them from the sun as you stare into the distance. “Where is she? Can I meet her?” you bite back your laughter, gazing up at Theo’s watercolor eyes alive with the most tender of emotions.
Theo laughs shaking his head hesitantly removing your hand from your face and clasping it in his as if it were a rare jewel he has been searching for for decades and had finally found it. As if you were his life’s work finally accomplished.
“Look no further, y/n, she’s standing right here.”

How the Slytherin boys would react to you taking an ugly picture of them and showing them
Warning: modern au, Hogwarts leagcy to Harry Potter
Ft.Sebastian Sallow, Ominis Gaunt, Tom Riddle, Mattheo Riddle, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Lorenzo Berkshire.
Sebastian Sallow
“Seb, look.”
“WHAT THE HELL?!”
He starts to chase you, cursing your name in every word of the book as you laugh holding your phone. He was embarrassed before he started to tease you that you must love him a lot to have picture of him saved on your phone.
You then deleted the photo which made him tackle you.
Ominis Gaunt
“Hey ominis loo-”
“What.” He furrows his eyes as he was facing in front of nothing.
You paused your words as he felt the air get awkward.
“You were about to tell me to look when obviously I cannot. Please think before you talk.”
“Of course-”
Tom Riddle
He didn’t even give you time to react as he smacked the phone out of your hand.
“What was that for?!”
“It was too close to my face….plus please delete that monstrosity of a picture of me.”
You deleted it because you don’t know what this man might do to you if you don’t comply
Mattheo Riddle
“Matty look.”
He looks up from his phone to see the most down bad picture to man of his face on your phone.
He started to laugh which caught you off guard by then he shows a picture of you drooling in your sleep.
“That’s funny babe, but I got a picture of you on my phone too.” He says with a evil smirk
“Ay man delete that!” You say embarrassed
He stood on business of “you go low, I go lower.”
Draco Malfoy
“DELETE THAT THIS INSIST!!”
He tackled you as you waved your phone in the air.
He then successfully deleted it, he’s petty so prepare to have an ugly picture of you as his Lock Screen
Theodore Nott
I believe that there is no bad picture of him on your phone. So when you try to find any, there isn’t any.
But he definitely has a lot of ugly pictures and he pulls out that mom method where he would post an ugly picture of you on twitter and insta for your birthday.
“Theo…that’s the most ridiculous and horrific picture I ever seen of myself.”
“DONT say that..you look so cute.”
Lorenzo Berkshire
“Enzo, come look at this!”
He leans his body over yours to see a funny ugly picture of him.
He laughs it off and tells you to post it. But you wanna make sure so you ask him again for permission and he said yes.
You posted it and now it’s funny memory between the two of you

Day 3. Favorite male character
Okay, so apparently I'll be falling slightly behind and posting every other day or so, because, well, life. Sorry about that! Also, sometimes it's just so hard to write in English T_T
Alright, on to the answer. Of course it's Hagen. He fascinated me right from the start, and I absolutely admire him. But that’s kind of a boring answer, because I can't write a long, elaborate post about him like @setrija-nibelungenfangirl did. So… can I write about someone else? Please?? XD
The "someone else" in question is (you could have guessed!) King Gunther. You see, it's easy to admire someone like Hagen—someone nearly perfect in many respects—but ultimately, it is Gunther I feel most sympathetic towards. I love the Nibelungenlied (as opposed to other versions of the Nibelungen story) because even with dragon-slaying, Tarnkappe, and whatnot, the core of the plot and the conflict between that constellation of characters is very human. And it's remarkable that one of the few characters whom we first meet in Aventiure 1 and stay with until the last Aventiure is, well, very human too—not a "strahlender Held", but a man who makes some very wrong, flawed choices.
Furthermore, it only makes sense for every Hagen fan to look at Gunther as well, because Hagen's most remarkable qualities and various aspects of his triuwe are revealed because of him being Gunther's vassal. But unlike Hagen, Gunther didn't instantly catch my attention; this character kind of grew on me.
I first "noticed" Gunther thanks to Fritz Lang's movie. (Been a loyal Theodor Loos fan ever since.) After that, I decided to have a better look at him in the NL. Many readers interpret him as a weak king and I can see where that's coming from, but if we look closely, he's the one who has the final word EVEN when it comes to killing Siegfried (this is a very brief scene that is easy to overlook, but I love it!), ALTHOUGH it is exactly the decision to kill Siegfried that is often presented as an example of Gunther's lack of willpower or his inability to insist on getting his way. Not sure if this makes sense, but if you look at a number of interpretations of him taken together, his image will kind of start to flicker, and it's really fascinating. And it's always interesting to look at the way he is portrayed in various adaptations. Like, will someone show the impulsive side of him we've seen in Waltharius? T_T
(This is a preview of an insanely long Gunther-centric post I've been planning to write, and I do hope I will do it one day. I have about 1700 words in my draft already XD)
Of course, it's not to say that other NL characters can't be looked at from different angles. On the contrary, there are conflicting (to a point) interpretations of them too. But it's Gunther's case that intrigues me the most. Perhaps it is because my view of the other characters (Siegfried, Hagen, and Kriemhild) is pretty firm and consistent. Gunther, on the other hand, is somewhat of a mystery XD Although I'm sure there are people out there who see Gunther in an unambiguous way :)
The last but not the least, Gunther is the character whom I actually relate to and kind of identify with. Oh well. Please don't ask. XD

The Lifeaters (I.5)
V. Back Home
MASTERLIST
Chapter Summary: You never expecting entering Hogwarts was going to bring you… so much change
Pairings: Draco Malfoy x Fem!Reader (platonic)
Warnings: Cursing, magical objects, Mugglephobia,
Wordcount: 2.1 k
Notes: I’m cutting first year to 8 chapters only… jeje they are just babies yet and like I said, this is for setting the tone for what comes next… jeje
You were fairly smart, you were, the point is, you were truly outstanding in things that TRULY interested you, so you learned when the Slytherin Quidditch team practiced, and you would sit in the boxes no matter how early or how late, scribbling in a small diary you started to call your playbook, writing and describing all the plays, it was quite fun, even Marcus Flint and Terrence Higgs, the players noticed and waved at you
“Are you going to try out next year?”, he asked
“Of course”, you’d answer happily
And from then on, you became some sort of cheerleader for the team, even helping them in planning plays after the Hufflepuff VS Ravenclaw match that of course you watched and made Draco watch it too.
You were happy, you felt at home in Slytherin and even in potions class
“Who can tell what would happen if I add to the concoction a rat’s tail?”, asked Snape, “Basilik?”, you swallowed hard and looked at home ide eyed
“It would cause a purple colored-explosion?”
“Are you asking me?”, he asked back, annoyed, raising one of his eyebrows. It was the longest seconds of your life, you stammered as Granger raised her hand
“no Ser, i’m saying”, you managed to mumble, and you could swear you saw a hint of a smile on his face
“Indeed”, he said quickly, “5 points for Slytherin, anyways…that is why you must be very carefully in selecting rat’s hair on the back of said rat instead…” and the class continued without a hitch, you and Draco exchanged big smiles at the points given
And the smile couldn’t be wiped out of your face for the rest of the day. No matter how much Matthew teased you, Draco was making everyone laugh telling you how the Gryffindor team was going to replace Potter with a wide-mouthed tree frog.
You always admired Draco’s sense of humor
The days were already shorter, and even started snowing, Snape’s class was in the dungeons and it got really cold down there, so you had to put on your gray jumper under your cape, but you were really happy because, you had been paired up with Theodore for a couple of classes for a special brew, and it made you giggle
Theodore Nott, your housemate, friend of Draco, he was very cute and sweet, he smiled softly at you, he had this beautiful green eyes that look a bit sad but its because they way they are shaped, you and daphne had discuss it at length
You acted a bit dumb when you were near him, but you thought Snape had paired you both together because you could defend yourself pretty good in Potions, but he was useless in that subject, you had to carry it for four weeks, but you were happy to do so.
Now you were in the common room with Theo, you weren’t allowed in the laboratory after classes, so, the only place you could hang out and study properly, besides the library, but they didn’t let you bring potion making instruments… So here you were.
“It’s ¾”, you said softly, “not 3,4”
“Oh sorry”, he muttered, you only smiled, knowing that little error could make the potion exude a lethal smoke that would kill you both
“You still on that?”, the peace and nice atmosphere that you had created was eliminated by barely a sentence of Draco, who showed up accompanied by his own partner, Matthew
You could see Theo’s face twisting in discomfort
“We just hadn't had the time”, you said simply
“We finished days ago”, they didn’t leave, they just sat there in the leather couch next to the table that you were working on
You finished the best you could, feeling like you were being watched, and you had to use the loo so you left them to go to the bathroom
When you came back, you heard them
“I don’t know why she keeps insisting on the potion, maybe she fancies me”, muttered Theo, “and that’s why we keep working together”, and that broke your little heart. Draco frowned at this, without noticing you
“She doesn’t fancy you”, he said, with a disgusted face, and you had never been more grateful, especially with Matthew laughed at Theo
You pretended like everything was fine, you tried to ignore Theo’s guilty face, he was embarrassed, it was him that didn’t understand potions, but he was embarrassed to say so, and then, you were relieved that Draco stayed there with you.
“So, if I make this potion wrong it can explode?”, muttered Gaunt as he read your scribbles in the parchment, “interesting”
“No it's not”, you said quickly, “many potions could explode”, you said then quickly, Mathew and Theo exchanged looks that didn’t promise anything good.
They actually made the potion explode, underneath Filch’s desk, luckily he wasn’t there but Mrs Norris’ tail caught on fire that thankfully they were able to extinguish without much damage to the poor cat.
You found it horrible
But Matthew and Theo laughed
You loved cats, and even though her being there was a sad accident, you couldn’t shake the bad feeling of your gut.
Matthew was a bit mean, and when you remembered him bringing the pumpkin to life… before he started carving it, it brought you chills.
Professor Snape was called, and Slytherin was taken 50 points.
When you were alone with Theo, he kept being nice to you, and the last class that you needed to work together, he ripped the page of the potion off of his book, and he folded you a snowflake with magic
You felt so happy you became giddy, even though he had lied to your friends
As the weeks went by, the floor started to become white, as the snow started to stick
But snow would only mean one thing… that you were most excited about
Christmas
Christmas is coming!
Between classes, and making friends, days turn into weeks and even months, and you were barely realizing it, Christmas was around the corner.
Every year you spend Christmas Eve with your Aunt, and then the next day you were invited to the Manor to spend the day with the Malfoys and their friends until the evening where you attend their annual Christmas Ball, it was always breathtaking, witches and wizards in their best dress robes ni black, white or red, and the decoration and food was out of this world
And this year, according to your aunt, it was going to be no different, you had three weeks of christmas break to go home, and you were going to spend it with Draco, the Malfoys and your aunt
You packed your trunk religiously, and even Umbra hooted in her cage happily, like she knew she was going back home
None of your teachers had left any homework, unless of course Professor Snape, who had given you a list of items you could find to make potions, so you needed to fetch them from your house or garden, he assured you they were things that could be easily found, trying to prove that potions could be brewed from almost anything
Anyways
You found Blaise in the great hall, he was staying at Hogwarts for the Holidays
“My mother is spending christmas in Greece with her new husband”, he muttered sadly
“I’m sorry Blaise”
“Other people are staying, so it's fine”, you had to go, Draco, from the other side of the Hall, was waving at you to go
The train ride back to London was very pleasant, Draco couldn’t stop boasting about his list of presents and how he was sure he was going to get everything he wanted, he asked you about what was in yours, but you only had three items… a Nimbus 3000, Quidditch riding gear of the Holyhead Harpies and a dragon
You knew you were being silly, but you always wanted a Dragon, a small one would suffice, you had seen them, miniature versions of real dragons, that you could handle.
And you promised your aunt that you could sell your current broom, a Quicksilver 2.0, so you wouldn’t have two, you were hopeful, you had been saving from your allowance, but still, professional brooms such as those had to be purchased by an adult
So you were now even more hopeful, but you were surprised to discover actually Matthew was going to spend Christmass in the Malfoy Manor as well
When you’d ask Draco about his family, he would answered with evasives, probably he didn’t know who he was either
But still you found it odd
You forgot about personal compartments, your group of friends had gotten so big you preferred those open ones with tables on both sides so you could all speak to each other
You had gotten accustomed to being around them all day and even nights, it was going to be a bit sad when you got home, only you, your aunt and some house-elves.
“Are you going to the ball?”, you asked Pansy who was sitting right next to you, as you were seated on the other side of the aisle with the girls
“Yes, my parents were invited”, she muttered
“Mines too”, muttered Daphne
“It will be fun”, you said with a big smile
“Why are you and Draco so close?”, asked Milicent as she leaned in and whispered to you
“We are best friends”, you said softly
“But why?”, she insisted
“We know each other since I can remember, our parents are really close”
“Do you like him?”, she teased
“No”, you answered quickly, “he is my best friend”, all girls were looking straight at you, like they were cornering you, “for real”, you insisted, and that seemed to calm them as they giggle
“I think Theo is really cute, you were so lucky to had that huge project with him”, fanned over Daphne
“I think Matthew is cute”, added Milicent, you were leaning over the table and whispering, so they wouldn’t hear
“I don’t think any of them are”, you said with a sad voice, thinking of Theo
“My mom is having my robes custom made for me”, said Daphne with a soft smile, “for the Christmass ball”
“Really? how lucky! I think we are just going to Madam Malkin”, muttered Pansy
“Lucky you because my mother loves to shop in those muggle stores in central London”, said Milicent
“Some of those stores are nice”, you offered, you really liked muggle fashion sometimes, your aunt would take you in London and you were only able to watch at the showcases, some dresses were truly astonishing
“They are muggles”, she said as that was reason enough
The trip became longer than the one that goes to Hogwarts, it that made any sense
Now that you weren’t at Hogwarts, you wanted to get home already.
“Anything from the trolley?”, asked the sweet old lady, bringing her cart full of sweets
“Uh! me! Do you have any chocolate frogs?”, you asked
“Of course dear”, she said, passing one you exchange for a couple of Sickles
“Thank you”, the boys bought thighs to, you frowned when you looked at the frog, the spell not starting yet
“I’ll do it”, said Draco from the other side, you passed the package, he opened and the frog came to life, before it could jump, he snapped one if its legs to break the spell, not it was just chocolate
He passed it back to you
“Thank you”, he ate the chocolate leg and you ate the rest
“Why?”, asked Parkinson
“I don’t like it when they move, they look too real”, you said simply, “Uh! I got Cirse! I’d always wanted her!”, you admired the ancient witch in that card
Your aunt, as always, was waiting for you
She hugged you tightly, caressing your hair softly, you had missed her
“Let’s go home”, you greeted the Malfoys, and from afar you could see Theodore, who was being received by an old man, you guessed he was his father.
“We will see you at Christmas”, my aunt muttered, and you started walking. Meek, your house elf appeared, grabbed both your hands, as you had your things in the other hand, and he apparated you back home, as easy as that
Tea was served for the two of you, with your favorite small sandwiches and pastries
