In future film adaptations of the HP series, DH is the one book I'm happy for future filmmakers to "mess around" with as much as they like to improve the visual / story experience for all the reasons you mentioned. I'm very happy for them to do a somewhat Twilight film Breaking Dawn-esque departure. Like, instead of focusing on the trio in the woods the whole time, let's get into what the Order are up to, let's show our friends keeping the DA alive at Hogwarts, let's show the other muggleborns having to go into hiding, let's flash over to Draco suffering the worst house guests ever... like we have this expansive cast of characters, let's not waste them for the extended camping trip from hell... also the best part of HP is the wizarding world itself, so many amazing magical set pieces in the world... and we spend the last book mostly in the forest...
Speaking of which, with there being a new series adaptation in the works (with rumours of potentially more HP series to come... perhaps even a Lily Potter / Marauders/ Snape based one...) is there anything you're excited about finally seeing adapted from canon or are terrified of potentially seeing butchered onscreen?
Yeah like and also it isn't even an INTERESTING forest. Like the "children wander into the enchanted forest and face [insert monstrous metaphor for adulthood]" is one of the oldest fairytales in recorded history, with a ton of creepy lore to draw on — you could have had the kids running through mystical haunted forests of ancient Britain! Running into the ghosts of Roman soldiers and Celtic ruins and magical creatures! Forest of Dean could have been COOL.
To your other point: I'd much prefer a Marauders series to a remake of the original. I'm of the not-unpopular opinion that the HP movies are as good as any adaptation of any book can get (save probably the Lord of the Rings movies) in terms of how they balance story structure, fidelity to the text, and onscreen pacing. The cinematography decreases sharply in energy and verve after Alfonso Cuarón, and the later movies unfortunately suffer from the mid-2000s trend of desaturating the frame, but they're solid movies and like — okay, in my heart of hearts, there's a little part of me that's like. Daniel Radcliffe will always be my Harry. I grew up with Rupert Grint and Emma Watson and Tom Felton, and seeing someone else in those roles will never hit me like it did to see eleven-year-old Hermione Granger alive for the first time on that screen. Which is not a real reason. But there you go.
There's also the problem of the genre pivot — the first few movies are obviously children's films, and a whole generation of millennials got to grow up as they gradually changed to Y/A films. But how many children are going to be watching a full season of a HBO miniseries? And how many adults are going to watch that miniseries and then complain it was underwhelming because, again, it's a children's series? It would be better, in my opinion, to start over with the Marauders, whom you can write into adventures that more naturally fit the pacing of a TV show. You can also start with them at like, age 14, which would solve the problem of years 1-3 essentially being about kids in middle school. Unlike HP, nothing happens that we know of in the first 3 years of the Marauders Era that's plot-essential, so strong writing in the pilot and a carefully chosen flashback or two could easily set the stage for a series starting in Year 4.
What I'm nervous about is the contingent of fandom that would expect it to be essentially a TV adaptation of All the Young Dudes, which — while it's an all-time legendary work of fanfiction, like all-time, incredible, wonderful story — does not much resemble what I think HBO writers' room would come up with. ATYD is a slice-of-life bildungsroman about Remus Lupin, and most of its stakes come through emotional tension — you can really easily transplant it outside of a magical setting, and you lose almost nothing. A Marauders show would be an action-adventure series modeled after the Harry Potter books, and it would need an episode-by-episode plot. In ATYD, Remus's development is the engine powering the story. That's not enough in a television series pitching itself as an action-adventure fantasy story, and I don't think the HBO team would be bold enough to depart from genre in this respect. After the failure of Fantastic Beasts, the execs are probably going to clock "Harry Potter show without Harry Potter in it" as a major business risk. Sowhile I'm open-minded and eager to see what the creatives would come up with, I wouldn't envy them the job of having to build out new personalities and arcs for characters that fans have already grown quite attached to their self-designed interpretations of.
It strikes me, too, that Rowling has never gone back to the Marauders as a potential vein for more books, even though she easily could have. She clearly doesn't mind dabbling in the HP universe, and the Fantastic Beasts movies show she's happy to bring the audience back to Hogwarts when she wants to. But for some reason, Harry's parents has always been a little too close to the original series, and I think maybe there's something in her that's afraid of revisiting that period — like if she fucks it up, she's damaging something directly connected to the books that made her famous, cheapening them. Or maybe she just doesn't want to write those stories. Who knows!
I do know that the most important name in that show would be the writing credit, because JKR has demonstrated (1) she isn't great at writing original stories for the screen, and (2) it's really easy to fuck up the pacing of a TV show, and if you don't get the pacing of Harry Potter, then you're not going to adapt it well. The HP books are essentially mystery novels that turn into spy novels. If you don't have that — if you think you're writing a high-fantasy epic from the jump, as the Fantastic Beasts writers seemed to believe, and as the Cursed Child writers seemed to believe — then you're going to write something that doesn't feel like Harry Potter, and most people will notice, even if they don't understand why.

About Poseidon Usually commonly seen with the names: - Po-se-da-o or Po-se-da-wo-ne which correlates to the phonetic meaning of Ποσειδάων/Ποσειδάϝoνος (Mycenean) - Ποσιδάων (Homeric) - Ποτε(ι)δάων (Aeolic) - Ποτειδάν / Ποτειδᾶς (Doric)
Poseidon is known as the god of the sea, earthquakes, good passage for sailors, the master of all waters, water-based storms, and horses. However, it wasn't always this way.
Pre-Greek Origin theories Poseidon, like many gods have their roots in gods older than what we fully know. His roots most likely are of Pelasgians or Minyans descent. Poseidon is just one example as his story and etymology show an evolution to what we know today. Starting in the beginning his name most likely stems from the word "Husband or Lord of the Earth" which can sound similar to two things: Demeter whoes name means "Mother Earth" and Haides, the ruler of the Underworld and riches of the earth. Historians now collectively agree that Poseidon at some point was the king of the gods and rules similarly to Haides and Zeus. Poseidon himself at that time was completely different. His oldest epithet that can be seen at Pylos and Thebes is, "Earth Shaker" in other parts usually in Arcadia, he is venerated alongside Demeter and Persephone, and in some cases is seen as the husband of Demeter who gave birth to a Persephone-like figure named Desponia whoes real name is unknown to those uninitiated in the Mysteries. Uncommon to popular belief, Poseidon isn't just about the salty water he is known for today. He is also a god of fresh water and once the waters of the underworld related to Oceanus. Poseidon, in theory, is worshipped today as a combination of his most known theories, but Poseidon was worshipped all over, not just the sea.
His Wife and other Wives We all know that now Poseidon is said to be married to a great goddess named Amphitriti. However, that wasn't the only deity he was seen as being a husband to. If you have read the top, you'll see his name means husband/Lord of the earth. Before Homer or Hesoids relations, Poseidon actually was called a Wanax, meaning King with the Goddess of Grain (Anassa), which we now know is Demeter. This is where his Chthonic aspects are seen, as the chthonic version of Poseidon is indicated by the use of Wanax, as it holds cthonic terms that he was not directly related to the sea in the beginning. The title, Eryins, held by Demeter is also seen as being a part of his cult. The goddess Amphitrite may or may not have came with the female direct version of him, Posendia, so she is a direct intrinsic version of him if that is the case, however this is not confirmed nor usually seen as a likely theory as Poseidon wasn't directly related to the sea then. The more so consumation of children by Demeter and Poseidon are highly worshipped in the Eleusis Mysteries in Arcadia and many other places. It's very cool to look into. Earth goddesses are commonly seen as his wives or consort spanning earlier times like the goddess Libya, Eryins, or Demeter. Amphitriti was usually honored alongside Poseidon. There isn't much to go on, but here are some primary sources: Pausanias, Description of Greece 5. 26. 2 - 3 : "The offerings of Mikythos (Micythus) I found [at Olympia] were numerous and not together . . . [statues of] Amphitrite, Poseidon, and Hestia." Amphitriti was not seen as Poseidon wife in multiple cases until much later. Even in some mythology, we know takes place in Archaic Greece, so it's cool to pay attention to those details. It more so was an evolution or story to show who Poseidon ended up becoming and being. Amphitriti cults are few and far between, but she is worshipped as a goddess of the sea and "of the third encircled," meaning a ring of the sea. She was entirely depicted as being on her own with creatures prior to Poseidon's meeting.
How is he worshipped modern-wise or Ancient Hellenic-wise Putting his ancient associations with the Underworld aside as he is seen as the precursor to Haides, he is worshipped for numerous things. Horses, water, protection in the sea or from earthquakes, bountiful earth harvest, sea-based harvest, and even storms. He was worshipped in numerous ways. One of the ways was driving chariots of horses into the sea or bulls. His main games were the Isthmus of Corinth, where the pine was used instead of the laurel. He was also worshipped heavily in Helike (Helice) in Akhaia and Onkhestos (Onchestus) in Boiotia. Common to unpopular belief, Poseidon and Athena both share a place on the Acropolis of Athens. He is also worshipped with Persephone, Demeter, and Athena a lot of times. In Elueisis, he has a temple where he is called, Father, similar to Zeus. That is where he is worshipped directly with Demeter, where sometimes they’re depicted as horses, and with his kids. Sometimes alongside Poseidon, Persephone and Demeter were called the two Queens. Conclusion It's important to look at cult and not mythology, as mythology is a story designed to teach lessons, be performed in plays, and explain things we don't fully know. Poseidon's worship is heavily muddled by his myths and mitigates his true identity within the Gods. He is the god of multiple things and a god of power. He was once a chief king directly associated with Earth, power, and its’ bounty, which is easy to forget, but the Ancient Greeks did not.

ranking all the scary movies/shorts/TV I saw and the scary books/stories I read this spooky season (August - October)
Mr. Vampire (hilarious 80s kung fu-jiangshi-ghost bride movie from Hong Kong)
The Innocents (rewatched this beloved 60s British ghost movie about abandonment vs smothering, grief vs insanity)
Carrie (iconic 70s tragi-goofy sexploitation-turned-bloodbath movie)
The Beast in the Jungle (Henry James short story about the horror of missed opportunity, a la I Saw The TV Glow) (which would have been #1 but I saw it before my arbitrary cut off date)
Dracula + Spanish Dracula 1931 (rewatched beloved Dwight Frye vehicle + finally watched its filmed-by-night Spanish counterpart, and learned you gotta see them together)
The Curse of Frankenstein (finally watched some 50s Hammer horror with Peter Cushing as the nastiest Frankenstein ever and Christopher Lee as a pathetic wet cat)
Dracula (más Hammer with da boys)
The Way It Came (another Henry James that I especially liked for being strangely funny)
The Haunting of Bly Manor (rewatched beloved TV show and found more flaws in it this time, oops🙃 but it got me to read these Henry Jameses so 👏 and it still got me to cry 👏)
Boogeyman (free YouTube movie from 2005 that everyone thinks is terrible except for me, I thought it was absolutely fantastic, though that might have to do with all the parallels I was seeing to Attack of the Clones)
Personal Shopper (heartbreaking and beautiful Kristen Stewart vehicle)
American Psycho (the most disturbing book I've ever read, by far the most fucked thing here)
The Exorcist III (I never saw the first one but I skipped to part 3 for my man Brad Dourif and Blatty's always relatable spiritual torment)
Viy (super fun 60s Soviet man vs ghost lady movie)
Weeping Woman Way (I found a new Junji Ito at the library and this was my favorite story, as someone who used to cry all the fucking time)
The Romance of Certain Old Clothes (Henry James story about envy and repression, if you can believe it)
The Metamorphosis of Mr. Samsa (brilliant Canadian animation short from the 70s made by pushing sand around to give a swirling, wiggly feeling)
The Last Man on Earth (bleak and quite accurate Vincent Price adaptation of the Matheson novella)
Nightbreed (really fun Clive Barker "mean humans vs nice monsters" movie)
Dead Ringers (beautifully sad Cronenberg about the tragedy of utter codependence)
Scanners (an earlier Cronenberg about psychic connections, which is one of my favorite themes)
Society (fun rich people body horror cult movie with a fabulous finale; I thought the rest of it was quite touching too)
Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (👏camp👏)
Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? (terrifying short story from the 60s about a demon kidnapper by Joyce Carol Oates from Twitter)
The Spirit Flow of Aokigahara (another great one from the Junji Ito book which has an evil mlm makeout and a totally fucked Logan Paul reference)
Minnie the Moocher (very very good Betty Boop, featuring rotoscoped Cab Calloway)
The Lord of the Rings (speaking of rotoscoped, Bakshi's wacky 70s animation which PJ kind of ripped off, kind of improved, but has its own fabulous character that had me weeping the nerdiest tears I've shed since like 2017)
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (weird and beautiful Thai movie from 2010 that definitely counts as existential horror)
We Have Always Lived in the Castle (people seem very critical of this 2018 adaptation of the Shirley Jackson novella, but I loved it, especially the way it so often keeps the camera on the fiercely protected ground)
Possession (weird European-y movie that is really good but I had a bit of a hard time getting into)
Isle of the Dead (slow 40s Boris Karloff movie with some fantastic agnostic angst)
The Curse of Dracular (very cute new claymation short a guy made for his dad)
Slumber (another Junji Ito, another on the theme of a psychic connection)
The Jolly Corner (really cool Henry James story, also about missed opportunity, specifically a dissolute ex-pat fighting his mean and greedy remained-in-America-sona)
Audition (nasty Japanese time-bendy anti-romance)
The Uninvited (40s movie with a very similar ghost effect to Personal Shopper; I watched it twice and enjoyed the second time more since there's a big twist that reframes everything; saddest ghost crying I've ever heard)
Rope (the gay Hitchcock one; makes me want to see a stage production where the Jimmy Stewart character is actually fruity)
Train to Busan (fun and emotional Korean zombie movie with a kinda stupid ending)
Blade (90s comic book vampire movie with the Volturi if they were Protestant)
Hellboy (romantic and transgender-ish comic book movie from 2004)
Perfect Blue (90s anime movie that predicted internet parasocial relationships; very good but I have some beef with it)
Never Open That Door (50s Argentine anthology movie that goes great with Black Sabbath and Shadow of a Doubt)
Dead of Night (40s British anthology movie with a brilliant framing device)
The Phantom of the Monastery (30s Mexican movie that really understands how horrifyingly effective Catholicism is at preserving stuff)
Eyes of Laura Mars (faboo 70s fashion slasher with another psychic connection)
Nosferatu (rewatched with the Radiohead soundtrack being shown at indie theaters, I thought it was awesome)
Madonna (Junji Ito vs Catholicism feat. pillars of salt)
An American Werewolf in London (very funny Landis movie with a really annoying romance)
The Alter of the Dead (Henry James anti-romance with a kinda weak ending)
The Ruins (silly plant horror movie that feels like the Hunger Games extended universe)
The Ruins (I preferred the movie because the plants just get too smart in the book)
Darth Plagueis (Star Wars at its coldest and meanest!)
Let the Right One In (creative Swedish vampire movie with some great ideas and some really stupid ones)
Hell Followed With Us (ig I'm too old for YA, but I appreciated the representation)
Don't Look Under the Bed (the scariest DCOM; pretty fun lore)
The Legend of Hell House (horny 70s movie that keeps turning me off then winning me back, feat. Peter Cushing's Van Helsing's boyfriend Michael Gough)
The Happening (the Shyamalan that's bad ... on purpose?)
Friday the 13th (fun to watch but man it is not good)
Practical Magic (frustrating cozy 90s witch movie)
Creature from the Haunted Sea (Corman parody with one or two good jokes: "Little did they know that I, Sparks Moran, was an American agent... My real name was XK150")
Carrie (the boring remake with Ansel Elgort, boo!)
Son of Dracula (dreadful 70s Ringo Starr thing with potentially interesting lore and a kinda iconic blood transfusion scene)
Hearts and Flowers (creepy 1930 stop motion that is pretty cool and imaginative but also racist af)

the entire lord of the rings trilogy, extended editions. i rewatch all of them every few months because i'm nuts. i could also talk about every star wars movie and show forever but my fav sw movie is rogue one and my fave sw shows are andor, the mandalorian, clone wars, and rebels. i also love love love twin peaks and the x-files.
FAVORITE FOOD?
mexican & thai
FAVORITE ANIMAL?
possums :D
ARE YOU MUSICAL?
nope. can't sing nor can i play any instruments but i guess dance requires musicality if that counts.
WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A CHILD?
weird, quiet, shy, awkward. i'm a former "gifted child" but really i was just neurodivergent and now i can't function as an adult lol. (u can laugh it's ok)
FAVORITE SUBJECT AT SCHOOL?
biology, math, and psychology!
LEAST FAVORITE SUBJECT?
history - not that i find history boring, it's actually extremely fascinating and complex. i just think the way it's presented in school and learning from a textbook isn't the best way to pique someone's interest in the subject, at least not for me.

Movies watched in 2024, a selection - Thoughts
Favs
It's a Wonderful Life - A true classic! If you haven't seen it yet, you absolutely should. It's great for Christmas, but it can truly be watched anytime you like.
Death on the Nile (1978) - Such a delight! So many great actors - a young Maggie Smith! I love Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot. I need to watch the other movies where he portrays the Belgium detective as well. Angela Lansbury truly has the time of her life here!
Dr Mabuse, der Spieler (1922) - A great crime story, a great cast, such a great set of characters! The original is amazing, don't get me wrong, but I would love to see a remake of it. Still set in the 20s.
Shooting Stars (1928) - What a surprise this movie was! The ending is so good! More people should know about it.
The Trial of the Chicago Seven: I love this movie! I should rewatch it more often. It kind of feels nostalgic, as if it was a big success in the 90s. It probably would have been a great hit in the 90s, but now it's a Netflix movie - that more people should watch really.
Lord of the Rings SEE - What can I say? These movies are my second home. They're soul food.
Buster Keaton: I kind of fell in love with him and his stoic humour this year. Have watched several of his movies and I can definitely recommend them. Sherlock Junior, Steamboat Bill Jr., The Cameraman, The General. His movies are surprisingly fast-paced for their time. Definitely like him better than Chaplin.
Also worth a watch:
Dune 1 and 2: Truly amazing movies and I'm looking forward to Part 3. But it doesn't really get to my emotions. It's too high art to become one of my favs, if you get what I mean. Some pieces of art are amazing but you don't want to put them in your living room.
Jaws: Watched it for the first time this year and was surprised that I actually liked it. Would have enjoyed it back in the day, too, I think, but I was kind of afraid of it's reputation. Can recommend.
Frau im Mond / Woman on the Moon (1929): About 100 years later, some of the ideas shown in this movie seem ridiculous. But everything you see is actually based on what scientists thought to be true about the moon in 1929. This movie also gives us the first count DOWN to zero. I don't really like the ending, but all in all, a great movie.
Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920) - This movie has an aesthetic and it does the most with it. And it definitely is worth a watch.
Wings (1927) - Looking into the very first Academy Awards Ceremony made me curious to watch this movie, and it's definitely worth a go. It might not be for everyone, but it is noteworthy that whenever you see someone fly a plane, that's the actors actually flying the plane ... !
Miss Potter: What a sweet little surprise of a movie this was, including a surprise appearance of Lloyd Owen. Renee Zellwegger is just great at playing eccentric British women.
The Phantom of the Opera (1925/1929): I think this is great because this is definitely an adaptation of the book (which also shows how close to the book the musical actually is). I love that the phantom actually has a messed-up face, because in modern movie versions the face never really looks that bad. So the whole "oh my God, a horrible monster" never makes much sense to me.
La passion de Jeanne D'Arc (1928): I can see how this movie isn't for everyone, but I was surprised at myself that I was basically glued to the screen watching this.

since our wife couldn't join us for Belles and Chimes, we went out together to run it back and get another couple of games in, so we have another Puppy Pinball update:
The Lord; Da Rings: Uncanny X-men is cool as hell, and we (our system) have gotten a lot better at ball control just by playing more.
Cabin Fever just got in the latest Stern table, The Uncanny X-men, and it looks visually stunning.

(Ref [Img 1]) It's playing extremely fast and flipper strength is actually the most uncanny part about it, but it's so much fun. we even managed to put up a leaderboard score that we think is pretty respectable.
in 6th overall, Zaftikat with a score of 31,257,620

(Ref [Img 2]) we also went back to some of the tables we wanted to improve on from the night before, and improve we did!
On Pulp Fiction we went from scoring 71,720 to putting up a much healthier 401,560! A bit more time with aiming skill practice, and we could demolish that score too.
(ref [Img 3]) However, the real highlight of the night was the score we put up on our best beloved Attack from Mars! These bitches shot 3,661,194,420, which as we all know, is the Maritan Sex number

(Ref [Img 4]) Here's a last bonus image of a graffito in the all gender washroom:

(Ref [Img 5])
Image ID Zone
[Img 1] A top down photo of The Uncanny X-Men Pinball by Stern, released in 2024. Visible on the playfield are numerous lights and images of various X men characters, similar to how they appear in the animated series from the 1990s. The field is lit in a pleasing sentinel purple, with 4 visible wireframes, 2 pop bumpers, and only one slingshot. In the upper third centre right of the field is a giant Sentinel head, beside it is a standee of beast and a newton ball slider. The centre upper third is surrounded by a left ramp, a right ramp, and two left orbits. The middle third has a pop bumper themed after Gambit, and an orbit themed for Kitty Pryde, above another themed for magneto, who also features below the sentinel head as a playfield magnet (duh). The bottom third is where things get wild. The main field and flippers are shifted to the right to accomodate a mini flipper and mini-zone above the mini flipper. This mini-zone is labeled "the danger room" It contains a spinner, an orbit, a ramp, and a pop bumper themed after Bishop. An even more unique feature is the outlane wireframe, which runs below the main flippers to deposit the ball into the Danger Room.
[Img 2] A photo of the Cabin Fever leaderboards for the Uncanny X-men high scores. ThaDocta420 is in first with 92,990,540. A Small Owl is in second wtih 87,945,230. Conky is in third with 42,834,280. Scrubsta is in 4th with 39,057,440. Johnny Bee is in 5th with 33,162,550. Zaftikat (us) are in 6th with 31,257,620. 3Spinners is in 7th with 24,917,600. Steckles is in 8th with 13,469,100. And rounding out at 9th is our wife Nocturnmusings with 10,859,980.
[Img 3] A composite image of two photographs of the scoreboard for Pulp Fiction a modern-retro inspired pinball machine made by Chicago Gaming Company. The first image, from 10/23 shows three scores; P1 on 169,680 P2 on 195,700, and P3 (the relevant score) on 71,720. The second image, from 10/24, shows 1 score on 401,560, a quintupling of the previous score.
[Img 4] The Attack from Mars dot matrix display on the number match screen. It shows a score of 3,661,194,420 in green and in cyan and white (respectively) Match 90. Around the screen you can see the topper depicting some really weird looking martians kidnapping a woman in the style of a 50s pulp novel. Below the screen is the logo for Bally gaming, and a bit of the playfied is visible with 2 flying saucer lights peeking out.
[Img 5] a black marker graffito that reads "I heart t4t"

congrats on your 1K!!! <33333
i would love to get a matchup with someone from DC <3
I'm a very extroverted introvert, if that makes sense. I've been told I'm very caring and notices things about people that other usually wouldn't. I believe I'm quite funny and entertaining :) I'm a very sarcastic person! I tend to be quiet unless you really get to know me. I tend to seem very mean and little bossy but it's really just how I am!
18
Ideal date? My lord. Probably a christmas day spent in the city first, just strolling around (especially book, plant, pet and funiture shops). Then eating a chinese all you can eat buffet (i need my deep fried octopus rings ok.) and then probably a go at the cinema before we head home and relax
I have such a hard time describing my type because i will literally take anyone who likes me. But smth about the "hate everyone except you" is rlly cute :( but also them being all sweet n cute and golden retriever? yes pls
I'm quite sure im an INTP
aries
My hair is dyed a navy blue, like a deep one but i lowkey need to re-dye it because blonde roots are haunting me. I have pretty deep green eyes and i wear rounded glasses (because im blind (-5)). I'm quite tall (6'4") and i'm pretty decently built muscle-vise (volley-player for years so thighs, back, shoulder and forearms).
i hope this made sense :(( <333
and once again, congrats on the 1K!!!
jaime, baby



"Cariño!" Jaime beams, opening his arms for you.
You throw yourself into his arms, and he beams, spinning you around, arms flush against your skin as his cheek presses to yours, lips curled into a giant smile.
He holds up the takeout, lips curled into a smile as you let him in.
"Octopus rings?"
"You know I could never let you have it without." Jaime hums. "Mi tia made them too."
"God, that must be good." You mumble, handing him a paper plate. "Shall we dig in?"
"After you, Cariño."
Headcanons:
Jaime? Down bad. Absolute golden retriever. Loves you. Goes insane for you. You want takeout at two am? He's there.
Helps you dye your hair!! He's super good at it too so the coloring is never uneven
Lots of wandering! He's warm-blooded, so if you ever get cold, his hands are on you. He's got you covered :3
He argues a lot with Khaji Da but ultimately the beetle does approve of you
Expect him to lift you a lot!! he gets super excited when he sees you so he twirls you around
#YOU'RE THE ONE WHO I SAID 'Jaime.' WHEN I FIRST GOT YOUR REQUEST#chinese all you can eat is so real tho me too#jaime reyes x reader#☾.matchups#☾.events

10 things about me
(Oh my this took me so long to post)
Tagged by lovely @midnight-coffee94- thank you! I will also try to keep it fantasy/DA adjecent since that’s what I do on tumblr most of the time.
1. My favourite book series of all time is Discworld and I can be a bit over-enthusisatic about recommending it to anyone and everyone who would listen.
2. Favourite fantasy-race to play as is a dwarf, although I am also big on all kind of reptile folk (waiting for Dragon age to do a followup on the lizardfolk dwarves apparently had a war with at one point.)
3. My favourite TTRPG system as of now is the Witcher.
4. I haven't finished either Lord of the Rings or Potter saga (and I do not regret missing out on the latter).
5. When I first played DAII I didn't know there were romance options- and since I was 13, ace and dense as a rock when it comes to flirting I though the heart dialogue options were just showing that you care to that character. I was only prove wrong when my Hawke started to make out with Anders and I was like "Oh...OH"
6. Leading from the last one my favourite Dragon Age romance of all time is Isabela. And not only because inexplicably a majority of my fantasy crushes were pirates.
7. One of bigger fantasy pet peeves of mine is "dark edgy magic TM". I am greatly annoyed by a world building that tries to give moral value to what is supposed to be akin to force of nature and asserts that using the thing (blood magic, fire magic, bloodbending etc.) is bad no matter of the purpose or what it used.
8. Out of all of my DA protags I most indetify with my Hawke- the oldest sibling energy is strong with this one.
9. I always give my OC's pets because I am a crazy cat lad myself and can't imagine someone not wanting at least one animal companion on their journey. (It doesn't have to be a cat. My Witcher char has a chicken. Her name is Frania)
10. I physically can't watch Witcher Netflix series because I cannot live through what they've done to my boy Cahir.

A Pre-History of Fanfiction V: Fandom Drama, More Zines, and Conclusion
Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Sources
Chapter 5: Other Zines
Zines existed out of the K/S bubble, of course. Our old friend Sherlock Holmes laid claim to many staple pages often crossing over with the Doctor, Lovecraft’s monsters, and Count Dracula like in the pages of the SH-SF Fanthology edited by Ruth Berman. Zines like the Holmesian Federation edited by Signe Landon and written by Dana Martin Batory, Ruth Berman, John C. Bunnel, and Tina Rhea explored Holmes’ world in both fiction and non-fiction. When Lord of the Rings was republished in paperback in the 60s, zines like Bernie Zuber’s Mytholore explored Tolkein and other fantasy works.
Duh duh duh DUN DA DUN DUN DA DUN. The premier of Star Wars in 1977 inspired many zines. B. Clark published the first Star Wars fanzine, Skywalker in 1978. Others included Empire Stars by JJ Adamson and the Mos Eisley Chronicle by Doborah Rubin. The first sexual SW content appeared in the pages of Guardian #3 edited by Linda Deneroff and Cynthia Levine. Han/Luke slash filled the pages of zine to the point where the director of the Official Star Wars Fan Club sent Guardian and other publications a letter that demanded that they stop publishing porn along with a series of guidelines for zines.
Another fandom that comes up quite a lot in zine culture is Blake’s 7, a British SF tv show that shared many producers, writers, editors, and actors with Doctor Who (I guess that’s true of most British shows). The fandom was huge, especially for one that is not super active today. The creator, writers, and actors were uniquely involved in the fandom. The creator, Terry Nation, told zine editor Carl Hiles that he didn’t want Blakes 7 fanworks to appear in any zine that weren’t solely dedicated to Blakes. It wasn’t all negative, Nation also supplied a very kind introduction to a fanfiction titled Reflections in a Shattered Glass by Joe Nazzaro. Actor Gareth Thomas read a fan poem by Mary G T Weber out loud at a con, embracing her after.
Blake’s 7 was not without its troubles though. The fandom split in the late 80s when a fan revealed to Blake actor Paul Darrow the names of three fans slash producing fans, a writer, editor, and artist, who were operating under pseudonyms. Darrow sent a letter to these fans demanding them to stop publishing anything involving ‘his character or his likeness’. This caused a rift in the fandom between those who supported Darrow and those supporting the three targeted fans. (Fanlore - The Blake’s 7 War) It is speculated that Darrow was using slash as a scapegoat to obfuscate criticism he was receiving for participating in for-profit cons. This is a common theme in fandom, the disconnect between fans and those that make the show. For example, Jensen Ackles of Supernatural fame has made it clear that he does not like to answer questions about shipping his character with Castiel.
Slash became such a huge part of fandom that zine dedicated entirely to slash without a home fandom appeared in the 80s. One such zine was Dyad edited by Divya Blacque. Dyad used a far reaching amount of derivative works including Man from Uncle, Simon and Simon, Quantum Leap, Startsky and Hutch, Lethal Weapon 2, and China Beach. Slash developed its own genre conventions and language. In this case, not only is the author decentralized but the derivative work is as well. This marks another evolution of fandom from where organizing around a particular work or works is most important to where engaging in fannish behaviors is central.
Conclusions and Findings
For a time in the 80s and 90s, zines coexisted with online fan forums like alt.tv.x files.creative and The Aquiter Files for Blake’s 7. However, the ease, accessibility, and ubiquity of the internet won out and have pushed zines to the fringes of fandom. That is not to say that zines do not exist but they are most certainly not the main medium of fanfiction today.
So much has changed since the days of Gulliver and Pamela.
Fanfiction now exists on online archives like AO3 and fandom discourse lurks on Tumblr, available to a wider amount of people than a zine would ever be able to service. Fanfiction has increased in popularity and visibility in the past two decades. Fic has even transformed into multi-media franchises like EL James’ 50 Shades of Gray and Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments. The increasing acceptance of LQBTQ+ people has made the secrecy around slash all but obsolete.
Though there are endless problems within fandom and fandom behavior, I want to encourage you all to keep engaging with communities you love whether that be centered around a fictional work, a hobby, or anything else that piques your fancy. Keep putting your art and your words out there, you don’t need a middleman or a gatekeeper or a publisher to give you permission. Your little tumblr blog might set a precedence if you let it.
This is not an overarching explanation of fandom and is limited to a few works, places, and time periods. If you want to know more, I’ll link my sources in other post
I would like to give a very special thank you to Fanlore, a spectacular and far-reaching wiki with thousands of pages of amazing rabbit holes. I would also like to thank those fans that wrote their own histories like Mickela Ecks and Writer’s University, Jenna Sinclair, Alec Nevala-Lee, and Gloria Comandini. Though I used academic journals, these personal histories were the most elucidating.

Aber zum Glück bin ich auf eine Quelle der Inspiration gestoßen und habe einige entdeckt! Obwohl es herausfordernd war, habe ich es geschafft, drei einzigartige Namen für meine tierischen Freunde zu finden. Hier sind einige meiner Lieblingsideen: 1. "Die Knuddelbande": Für mein Trio von niedlichen Meerschweinchen fand ich diesen Namen einfach perfekt! Sie sind unglaublich verspielt und kuscheln gerne miteinander. Mit ihren flauschigen Bäuchen und der knuffigen Art haben sie diesen Namen wirklich verdient. 2. "Die fliegenden Künstler": Meine drei wellenartigen Sittiche sind wahre Luftakrobaten und zeigen gerne ihre kunstvollen Flugmanöver. Um ihre einzigartige Persönlichkeit widerzuspiegeln, nannte ich sie die fliegenden Künstler. Sie sind nicht nur talentierte Flieger, sondern auch echte Charaktere! 3. "Die Pfotenpatrouille": Für meine drei energiegeladenen Hunde entschied ich mich für diesen coolen Namen. Sie sind wie eine kleine Truppe, immer zusammen unterwegs und schützen unser Haus. Mit ihren schnellen Pfoten und ihrem treuen Wesen sind sie meine persönliche Pfotenpolizei! 4. "Die scharfen Schnäbel": Meine drei frechen Papageien sind bekannt für ihre lauten Gespräche und klugen Kommentare. Ihr scharfes Schnabelwerk beeindruckt mich immer wieder. Daher war klar, dass "Die scharfen Schnäbel" der perfekte Name für diese schräge Truppe war! 5. "Die flauschigen Fünf": Okay, ich weiß, dass es einen Namen für ein Trio gibt, aber ich konnte mich nicht entscheiden, welches meiner Hasen ich auslassen sollte. Also entschied ich mich kurzerhand für fünf Namen! Diese flauschigen Kreaturen sind so niedlich, dass ich es einfach nicht übers Herz gebracht habe, einen von ihnen zu vernachlässigen. Ich hoffe, diese Vorschläge helfen dir bei der Namensfindung für deine Trio-Bande. Denke daran, deiner Kreativität freien Lauf zu lassen und die Persönlichkeiten deiner Tiere zu berücksichtigen. Ob knuddelig, flauschig oder frech – es gibt unendlich viele Möglichkeiten für originelle Tiernamen! Viel Spaß beim Auswählen! Die Bedeutung von passenden Tiernamen für Trios Als stolze Besitzerin eines Trios von Haustieren kann ich aus eigener Erfahrung sagen, dass die Wahl der passenden Tiernamen eine große Bedeutung hat. Es mag zunächst trivial erscheinen, aber die Namen spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der Kommunikation und Identifizierung unserer tierischen Gefährten. Hier sind einige Gründe, warum ich glaube, dass passende Tiernamen so wichtig sind: 1. Einzigartigkeit: Jedes Tier ist ein Individuum und verdient einen Namen, der seine Persönlichkeit widerspiegelt. Indem wir jedem Tier einen einzigartigen Namen geben, geben wir ihm auch einen eigenen Platz in unserer Familie. Das hilft uns, sie besser voneinander zu unterscheiden und eine persönliche Bindung aufzubauen. 2. Leichte Unterscheidung: Ein Trio von Tieren kann zu einer kleinen Herausforderung werden, insbesondere wenn sie optisch ähnlich aussehen. Indem wir jedem Tier einen individuellen Namen geben, erleichtern wir nicht nur uns selbst, sondern auch unseren Freunden und Familienmitgliedern die Unterscheidung. Das erspart uns peinliche Situationen wie "Welcher von den dreien ist das jetzt?" 3. Verständigung: Ein sinnvoller Tiername kann die Kommunikation mit unseren Haustieren erleichtern. Wenn wir sie rufen, reagieren sie oft schneller und wissen, dass wir sie meinen. Nicht nur das, auch die Möglichkeit, den Namen in Verbindung mit bestimmten Befehlen zu nutzen, kann ihnen helfen, schneller zu lernen und zu verstehen, was wir von ihnen wollen. 4. Erinnerungswert: Tierische Familienmitglieder begleiten uns oft viele Jahre. Ein ausdrucksstarker Name kann uns helfen, uns an besondere Momente und Erlebnisse mit unseren Tieren zu erinnern. Wenn wir ihren Namen aussprechen, kommen viele schöne Erinnerungen hoch, die uns ein Lächeln aufs Gesicht zaubern. 5. Spaßfaktor: Gleichzeitig macht es einfach Spaß, passende Tiernamen für ein Trio auszuwählen. Es ist die Chance, unsere Kreativität spielen zu lassen. Ob es sich um Namen mit einem gemeinsamen Thema, lustige Wortspiele oder inspiriert von beliebten Filmen handelt, es gibt unendlich viele Möglichkeiten, die den Alltag mit unseren Tieren auflockern und uns zum Lachen bringen können. Ganz egal, ob wir einem Trio von Hunden, Katzen, Vögeln oder sogar Reptilien Namen geben – die Bedeutung von passenden Tiernamen für das Wohlbefinden sowohl der Tiere als auch ihrer Besitzerinnen und Besitzer sollte nicht unterschätzt werden. Es mag zwar nicht das Wichtigste im Leben unserer Vierbeiner sein, aber es trägt dazu bei, dass unsere spezielles Trio einmalig und unvergesslich wird. Also investiert ein wenig Zeit und Kreativität in die Namen eurer Haustiere, ihr werdet es nicht bereuen! Tipps zur Auswahl der besten Namen für Tiertrios Als langjähriger Tierliebhaber und stolzer Besitzer von mehreren Tiertrios, möchte ich hier meine Tipps zur Auswahl der besten Namen für deine tierischen Dreiergespanne teilen. Die Wahl eines passenden Namens ist nicht nur wichtig, um deine Tiere zu identifizieren, sondern es macht auch Spaß und verleiht deinem Trio eine persönliche Note. 1. Gemeinsames Thema: Wenn du auf der Suche nach einem Namen für dein Tiertrio bist, solltest du ein gemeinsames Thema oder einen roten Faden überlegen. Zum Beispiel könntest du dich für Namen entscheiden, die auf eine bestimmte Farbe, ein Land oder eine Filmreihe Bezug nehmen. Diese thematische Verbindung gibt deinem Trio einen einheitlichen und einprägsamen Namen. 2. Charaktereigenschaften: Betrachte die individuellen Persönlichkeiten der Tiere in deinem Trio. Überlege, welche Charaktereigenschaften sie haben und wie sich diese in Namen widerspiegeln könnten. Wenn beispielsweise ein Tier besonders verspielt ist, könntest du ihm den Namen "Flitzer" geben. Wenn ein anderes Tier ruhiger und gelassen ist, könnte es den Namen "Chill" tragen. Die Namen sollten die Wesenszüge und Verhaltensweisen deiner Tiere widerspiegeln. 3. Wortspiele und Kreativität: Lass deiner Kreativität freien Lauf und spiele mit Wörtern und Buchstaben. Kombiniere die Namen deiner Tiere oder erfinde neue Namen, die lustig oder einzigartig sind. Ein Beispiel könnte "Pfoten-Gang" für ein Trio von Hunden sein. Denke außerdem daran, dass Namen in anderen Sprachen eine zusätzliche Ebene des Spaßes und der Originalität bieten. 4. Einfachheit: Halte die Namen deines Tiertrios einfach und leicht auszusprechen. Lange oder komplizierte Namen können verwirrend sein und sind schwer zu merken. Kurze, prägnante Namen sind nicht nur für dich, sondern auch für andere einfacher zu behalten und erleichtern die Kommunikation mit deinen Tieren. 5. Beobachte und teste aus: Beobachte dein Tiertrio sorgfältig und beobachte ihr Verhalten. Schaue, wie gut die Namen zu ihnen passen und ob sie auf die Namen reagieren. Manchmal kann es mehrere Versuche dauern, um den perfekten Namen zu finden. Teste verschiedene Namen aus und achte darauf, wie deine Tiere auf sie reagieren. Wenn sie gut auf einen Namen reagieren, der zu ihrer Persönlichkeit passt, hast du einen Gewinner gefunden. Denk daran, dass die Wahl der Namen für dein Tiertrio eine persönliche Entscheidung ist. Nimm dir Zeit, um zu experimentieren und die Namen zu finden, die am besten zu deiner einzigartigen Gruppe von Tieren passen. Mit etwas Kreativität und beobachtender Aufmerksamkeit wirst du sicherlich die besten Namen finden, die deine Tiertrio zum Strahlen bringen! Viel Spaß beim Namensgeben und den Abenteuern mit deinem Trio. Fragen und Antworten rund um Tiernamen Tiernamen für Trios - Häufig gestellte Fragen 1. Wie finde ich passende Tiernamen für Trios? Als erfahrener Tierhalter und Namensgeber für Trios kann ich Ihnen einige Tipps geben. Erstens sollten die Namen gut zueinander passen und harmonieren. Es ist oft eine gute Idee, thematische Namen oder Namen mit ähnlichen Bedeutungen zu wählen. Zweitens können Sie sich von Filmen, Büchern, Mythologie oder sogar Alltagssituationen inspirieren lassen. Gehen Sie ruhig ein wenig kreativ vor! 2. Welche Arten von Tieren eignen sich für Trios? Die Wahl der Tiere hängt von Ihrer persönlichen Vorliebe und den möglichen Kombinationen ab. Typischerweise eignen sich kleine Nagetiere wie Hamster, Mäuse oder Meerschweinchen gut für Trios. Hunde und Katzen sind ebenfalls möglich, erfordern jedoch möglicherweise etwas mehr Aufwand. Denken Sie auch daran, dass die Tiere miteinander harmonieren sollten, um ein friedliches Zusammenleben zu ermöglichen. 3. Sollten die Tiernamen eine bestimmte Bedeutung haben? Die Bedeutung der Namen ist vollkommen optional. Einige Tierhalter bevorzugen Namen mit Bedeutungen, die zu den Eigenschaften oder Merkmalen ihrer Tiere passen. Andere wählen ihre Namen rein nach ästhetischen oder klanglichen Gesichtspunkten aus. Es liegt ganz bei Ihnen, welche Art von Bedeutung oder Symbolik Sie den Namen Ihrer Tiere zuweisen möchten. 4. Wie finde ich Namen, die gut zueinander passen? Um Namen zu finden, die gut zueinander passen, können Sie verschiedene Methoden ausprobieren. Sie können beispielsweise Namen mit ähnlichen Anfangsbuchstaben wählen oder Namen, die auf ähnliche Weise enden. Sie könnten auch nach Namen suchen, die verschiedene Variationen desselben Themas repräsentieren. Kreativität und das Ausprobieren verschiedener Kombinationen sind der Schlüssel. 5. Was ist, wenn sich meine Tiere nicht mit ihren Namen identifizieren? Es ist wichtig zu bedenken, dass Tiere nicht wirklich verstehen, welche Namen sie haben. Sie reagieren eher auf Ihre Stimme und Ihr Verhalten. Wenn Ihre Tiere nicht auf ihre Namen reagieren, liegt der Fokus wahrscheinlich eher darauf, eine starke Bindung zu Ihnen aufzubauen und klare Kommunikation zu etablieren, als die Namen zu ändern. Machen Sie sich also keine Sorgen, wenn Ihre Tiere nicht auf ihre Namen hören. Ich hoffe, diese FAQ hat Ihnen bei der Namensfindung für Ihre Trios geholfen. Viel Spaß bei der Auswahl und genießen Sie die Zeit mit Ihren Tieren! Und da habt ihr es, Leute! Eine Menge lustige Tiernamen für Trios, die euch bestimmt zum Lachen bringen werden.
