Dark Witch Voice Clips

Just put together these unused clips for the Dark Witch voices (there are only two, sadly) that I thought were pretty interesting.

I don't do a lot with them because I am *shock and horror* heterosexual⭐ but they are pretty cool (especially my girl Animagus)...

Dark Witch A: Ashwinder Assassin / Poacher Animagus

Dark Witch B: Ashwinder/Poacher Duelist and Ranger

⭐yes, I understand that not everything has to be sexual but that's just what interests me the most right now.

Ashwinders getting pets

And rookwood + alt scout

Poachers here

[narmothewraith]

Honestly why do the Ashwinders + poachers look all so fucking cool

[wwheeljack]

[carmello-matcha]

Technically headcanons but are just expanded on canonical facts about the MC

Spoiler-ish but it should be irrelevant enough since I'm only focusing on the MC themself who at the moment is the equivant to a camera in terms of plot relevancy (I am so sorry but you really can replace them with a lamp n it'd make no difference and most of them are more from the side quests anyway)

Can be quite charismatic.

Frankly speaking its Hagrid but considering that they were a first year at that time to fully convince him to accompany them and Daniel to go to the forbidden forest under the guise of supervision/safety The text when you invite Daniel to dance. just that. in general.

Is a bit mischievious

In the MP regen potion quest where the mc has the option to suggest adding bertie botts flavor beans into the potion

Knows a thing or two about fashion.

the male mc deadass goes to diagon alley in an outfit called "tailored overcoat" if that doesn't scream fasionable idk what is A more story based reference would be heading to Madaam Malkins with Cassandra since the MC gifts her a pair of gloves as thanks and she comments that they're not hopeless at all which is high praise in her words

Is a skilled duelist

A regular dueling club member and can hold their ground against a dark wizard long enough to overwhelm them to retreat (Ashwinder quest) and beat a 7th year (seriously Elliot its one thing to make yourself look strong against a horde of acromantula in front of a group of third years but you got your ass handed by one of said 3rd year)

For some reason knows how to sneak out of Hogwarts without anyone noticing???

Its more of an overlooked trivial footnote but I find it more funny if the MC can sneak out of the scotland countryside all the way to central london undetected and back in their first year (Erumpent Sidequest) but still needs a parent's permission and be a third year to go a village within walking distance from hogwarts

Has some insecurities due to them being a muggleborn

Feeling like they're a bit behind compared to their friends (Hermione Sidequest) Which is a bold faced lie considering they're constantly saving their friends asses from their shenanigans ahem daniel during the entire second year plot line ahem

Other than the owl Hagrid gifts them, they also have a pet niffler

according to the niffler side quest they're the one taking care of it which goes to my next headcanon

Is excellent with magical creatures or just creatures in general

Manages to convince said niffler to return their friends stolen objects, befriending a hippogriff, and make a firecrab listen to them Even Slughorn himself comments on their skill that he'd go to them if Hagrid wasn't available

Playing Hogwarts Legacy as an adult, a different POV. (Possible SPOILERS ahead, please beware)

Okay, hear me out:

When the game was announced I was super excited about the Dark Arts path, so of course as soon as I was able to play I immediately headed for that route.

But then that scene where you have to duel Sebastian happened and I thought "damn, OC is an insane duelist!" soooo... I guess my mind kind of spiraled from there because I somehow got this headcanon that OC was actually undercover at Hogwarts.

Oddly got their letter at a later age, mad skillz™️, really polite and mature... Makes sense, right?

But I don't want to be an Auror. I want to be EVIL!

So, how about an Ashwinder? Victor Rookwood is a pretty cool villain: charismatic af, kinda good looking; I can see us chilling while watching dragons fight- no wait, I hate poachers with a passion. I love magical beasts. No way my OC would ever harm one or stand by and watch as one gets hurt.

And theeeeennnnn... I met professor Aesop Sharp. 10/10 "your daughter/son/adultchild calls me daddy too". I'd like to say it was love at first sight but it was the whole "acknowledging responsibility" speech that got me.

And before you call me weird... I'm in my twenties and as much as I love the "companions" that the game lets you have, I can't physically bring myself to ship my OC with a teenager. Big no no. Weirds me the f out.

So behold, the ultimate headcanon that has been living rent free in my head since the release:

OC is a rogue ashwinder who betrayed the - organisation? Cult? Club? Ah whatever you get it - and somehow found a way to disguise themselves as a student to avoid repercussions. After all, hogwarts is a pretty safe place. They could easily stay under the radar until things had calmed down a bit.

Unless... Unless some students decided they were tired of poachers and ashwinders and decided to take the matter into their own hands. So what was oc supposed to do? Just look the other way and hide while kids got slaughtered?

Nope. Their conscience was screaming enough as it was, they couldn't let it get any louder. So they help Poppy and Nat and try their best to keep Sebastian safe while he dabbles in the dark arts (after all, they know first hand how futile it is to try and smother that fire. You need to get burnt to learn.).

Until they go too far, they become a problem. Rookwood is pissed. Avada Kedavra pissed. Life or death. Their young and foolish friends or them.

It's an easy choice, really.

They drop the spell/potion/ancient magic/whatever that made them seem younger, so the focus is on them. Rookwood's rage is on them.

The shock, the drama.

Your trusted hogwarts companion was an Ashwinder all along. Former ashwinder, but does it really matter to a teenager who only sees the world as black and white?

Would it matter to the professor OC fell for? To the other professor, the one who guided them through the keepers' trials? Or to sweet professors Weasley and Garlick, who went above and beyond to teach them everything they knew?

Would it matter to the aurors who would eventually capture them?

Ladies, gentlemen and fine people, this is my headcanon. This would be my OC (if I was a skilled modder).

Thank you for coming to my -delirious- TED talk.

(and if you have similar or opposite headcanon, please drop them below. I would love to read them!)

Edit: I actually wrote a fic inspired by this! It's gender neutral (You POV) and I had a lot of fun with it!

Here's the link:

[ilovewritingfics]

Love Anais’ design!! I’m wondering, what would her battle quotes be for various things in the game? Things like winning a duel, losing a duel, low HP, stuff like that?

Anais is composed in her battle quotes, like generally speaking you would never hear any expletives coming out of her mouth from her losses. Nor will she boast her victories over multiple enemies and Crossed Wand duels.

Instead she quotes statements like:

After winning her Crossed Wands duels- "That was fun, I don't mind duelling with you again."

Losing a duel- "Well, that means that there is still room for improvement. I admit my defeat."

When she's on low HP- "Need my Wiggenweld potion."

After a successful raid of Ashwinder camp- "Oh, I can't wait to soak into a warm bath after an arduous raid."

Nearly lost her life: "How unacceptable, I cannot afford to be a weak and inconvenient duelist."

After rescuing beasts from poacher camps: "Now you are free, my friend!”

If the beast is too hurt to go home: “There, there my friend, I’ll take care of you. You’re safe with me.”

Thank you for the ask and I hope my answer will suffice! ☺️

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

Thank you @ephemerasnape for the ask ☺️

In the past i was not really confident about my art but with the praise and other feedback i got for my work made me improve and made it more fun. Before i started 3D models i used to draw everything from scratch which annoyed me to an extend ( because i don't want to practise anathomy for hours)and i was never satisfied, but now i feel motivated to draw more often. Some call using 3D models as cheating but i simply disagree. It's another tool to improve art.

The first wok i am proud of is my MC Brittany, though she has a dark side , which is typical for a slytherin, she is very dear to me. I think i made a good job with the green light. Looking at it today i would have drawn it differently.

Since i am an Ashwinder fan and appreciate Ashwinder Duelist (Davies) i needed to draw her with an cocky expression on a chair. It would be wise to give her all of your galleons. I attended a drawing contest with this piece. I didn't won but it got noticed from one of my favorite youtubers, which make me proud until today. Sometimes you have to celebrate the small things in life, right?

The last piece is Iago from Fire Emblem Fates. It’s one of my pieces where i used 3D models. Though he is an ass i found him strangely entertaining and he has a great aesthetic. I have to say that the character creators of fates , in my opinion, were incredibly talented. I am proud of this work because i managed to do a decent shading and his face to be similar to the offical art of him.

Okay now i am done with the bragging, thank you again. ☺️

"I knew I couldn't agree with him anymore after the scriptorium, he'd become too obsessed. I just wish we had forced him to stop sooner." She admitted.

At his words the memories of being down there hit her like the curse had. When she'd told Sebastian she wouldn't use the curse on him and she got hit by it she hadn't expected to to be as bad as it was, not too mention a few other times Rookwood's ashwinders had used it on her in what seemed like all too frequent battles. "I appreciate that, wasn't the last time that I got hit by it though." She admitted sheepishly, everyone thought of her as some expert duelist but in reality she mainly relied on her ancient magic abilities.

"So, I can't make up for what I inadvertently put you through, but would you like to come and visit the Room of Requirement? I have a few vivariums set up, one has an actual Phoenix I helped rescue." She offered.

Open Starter

Lavinia was glad to be back at Hogwarts, after her dramatic first year at the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry she hoped to have a relatively quiet school year, maybe try out for the house quidditch team if Professor Black allowed it to return. Slipping on her house robe back on she quickly grabbed some books along with her quill and some parchment to bring up to the Room of Requirement to get things ready for classes to start tomorrow. This year she actually got to see the first years get sorted and see the entire sorting ceremony which she enjoyed. As Lavinia made her way through the twisting corridors of the school she accidentally brushed up too close to someone and knocked a stack of books from under their arm. "Oh I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention." She spoke, scrambling to help with the books.

Harry Potter- Felix Felicis is a placebo-effect

"Luck can only get you so far, Harry... Luck is not powerful enough to get through a powerful incantation."

-Hermione explaining to Harry the limits of luck induced by the potion.

Felix Felicis, more commonly known as "Liquid Luck", is a magical potion in the Harry Potter world first mentioned in The Half-Blood Prince and to this day, still regarded as one of the most significant and well-known potions in the Wizarding World - with its effects being highly documented. A popular belief is that during consumption, Felix Felicis makes drinker lucky for a short period of time and furthermore provides the ideal and best possible scenario for the drinker.

Etymology: It comes from the Latin world Felix, translating to happy, lucky, or fortunate. Additionally, Felicis translates to mean lucky. As the name suggests, it is very fitting considering what the potion itself does e.g. making a lucky and prosperous day for the drinker. 

It is meant to be used sparingly, however, as it causes giddiness, recklessness, and dangerous overconfidence if taken in excess. One of the many limitations of Felix is that liquid luck is highly toxic in large quantities and if brewed incorrectly could lead to a disastrous outcome. It is also a banned substance in all organized competitions, such as Quidditch, along with all other methods of cheating. Just imagine it like the wizarding’s world equivalent to doping.

Additionally, it also must be noted that Felix Felicis is a notorious potion to brew - taking the averagely skilled potion-maker around 6 months. In the 16th century, a gifted wizard named Zygmunt Brudge invented this potion and had callled this achievement "the crowning achievement of [his] career". Furthermore, to make Felix Felicis, you would need to source some rare and exotic ingredients and thus increases the difficulty of the making of the potion itself.  Recipe: 1. Add Ashwinder egg to a cauldron, then add horseradish and heat. 2. Juice a squill bulb, add to the cauldron and stir vigorously. 3. Chop up anemone-like growth on the back of Murtlap, add to mixture and heat. 4. Add a dash of tincture of thyme and stir slowly. 5. Grind up Occamy eggshell and add to mixture. 6. Stir slowly then heat the cauldron. 7. Add a sprinkle of powdered common rue. 8. Stir vigorously then heat the cauldron one last time. 9. Wave wand over potion in a figure of eight and say incantation ‘Felixempra!’

Source from: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Felix_Felicis

However, in my head, I have a few problems with Felix Felicis. The biggest plot hole for me is that in short, it guarantees to provide a “perfect day” or a day in which all the odds are favorable to the drinker. This is a simple concept to understand but the reality of producing one is fairly impossible, in my opinion. You can’t change time, that’s a given fact. Furthermore, you cannot predict what’s going to happen to you in 15 years, 5 years, 5 weeks, 5 days or even in 5 minutes. Drinking this potion involves filtering out all the negative consequences that will occur in the future. This means that every single action you will have a consequence and by drinking that potion, you are removing every possible negative consequence that may or may not occur and therefore providing you an ideal day. You can’t change the odds of an action even before the action is done. 

Additionally, you cannot revert the odds of something that is bound to happen or will happen. The thing is though, it’s impossible. Even if you add some magical bullshit to the potion, you can’t fuck with time. There are even plotholes within the time-turner creations themselves. Felix Felicis makes the odds more desirable or make it bound to happen and therefore - it unintentionally rewrites destiny, fate and the principle of time itself. How can it predict an action that hasn’t been done or change the course of the future/present time when it hasn’t been done? How can it know all the consequences and opportunities of an undone action?

"Luck can only get you so far, Harry... Luck is not powerful enough to get through a powerful incantation."                        —Explanation of the limits of the luck induced by the potion

I’m not denying the existence of Felix Felicis in the Wizarding World, however, I am denying the so-called “wonders” it produces to the drinker under the influence. Thus, this furthers my cause for Felix Felicis to be a placebo-effect.

Placebo effect: a beneficial effect produced by a placebo drug or treatment, which cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must, therefore, be due to the patient's belief in that treatment.

And, when you piece the evidence together about the background knowledge about Felix Felicis - it makes sense. First of all, Felix Felicis is a potion that takes a long time to brew and it is quite an advanced potion and also involves the use of some very rare and expensive ingredients (not your usual household products that are easy to get). As readers, we are built upon this more expensive and luxurious idea of a potion that is supposedly going to give you a day with the best possible odds. The fact that it looks like “molten gold” isn’t just there as an added bonus. It’s there to appeal to the drinker and to further their reasoning that “if something looks expensive, then it’s going to work the best”. This same myth always works in any industry: makeup, technology, clothes and even the food industry. This manipulates the consumer into thinking - more is certainly better.

Source: https://www.slideshare.net/ruhull/abdul-placebo

One of the best examples to prove that Felix Felicis could just be a placebo effect is Ron Weasley’s experience with liquid luck. At the start, Ron severely doubted his skills as a keeper and had thought Cormac would have been a better fit. Ron thought he had “gotten lucky” as he was the team captain’s best friend and therefore, he was on the team. Soon after, Ron faces a huge panic attack on the day of his first match. He sees Harry slips of what looks to be “liquid luck” into Ron’s pumpkin juice and Ron drinks it, thinking it will help him win the match. And yes, it did. It certainly helped ease his nerves and gave him a higher level of confidence. It was only later Harry reveals to Hermione that he didn’t actual pour liquid luck into Ron’s drink and proves his point by showing her that his vial of liquid luck is still full.

This is the same effect that Felix Felicis produces and so what if actually drinking Felix is just another placebo effect. Belief > Treatment. This certainly works in Ron’s case and also Slughorn and Harry had a strong belief in the validity of liquid luck themselves.

Again, when Hermione, Ginny, and Ron took liquid luck in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, they were able to defend and dodge themselves from Death Eaters, many of them using dark curses and spells. It’s highly plausible that all three of them are talented and skilled duelists and this dose of “extra-confidence” gave them the belief and the reassurance that they needed. Another point is that overdosing in a large quantity is harmful and toxic as Felix Felicis is quite addictive. What if these warning signs are maybe because that after many usages of Felix Felicis, you start to begin to clock that “hey, this really doesn’t do anything for me” and has no effect whatsoever. Again, cue the discussion of the power of the mind vs power of the body. It’s a wide belief that repeated placebo dosage may make your entire prescription a placebo ineffective.    

Even more evidence? Ask the ex-Hogwarts Headmaster himself. In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry asks Dumbledore if he has ever taken Felix Felicis. Dumbledore responds, "Only recreationally. You see, I believe one creates one's own luck." So, Dumbledore drank the potion just for fun and obviously, like a wizard like Dumbledore that has almost a genius intellect, can see that this is just a placebo effect and thus explains why he tells Harry that we all create our own luck. Though he didn’t debunk Felix Felicis literally, he did shade Felix Felicis and the entire validity of it.  Finally, what do you think about Felix Felicis? Do you think it’s a placebo effect or potentially even something else? But the biggest question of them all is do you think our mind can heal our bodies?
