Surely, surely there are spells that dust, clean, scrub bathrooms, wash clothing? House elves can do it with a snap of their fingers, wizards can do it just as easily with a wave of their wand.
So why do house elves clean dorms and do laundry at Hogwarts? There’s only one explanation:
It has nothing to do with how easy the task is, and everything to do with it actually getting done. In other words, teenagers.
Living in dorms with other teenagers.
At some point in Hogwarts history, there had to have been teenagers running around in three week old uniform shirts and genuinely not realising it was a problem.
Like, it had to be bad enough that someone decided it was enough of an issue to call a meeting about it. House elves have been washing Hogwarts uniforms on a nightly basis ever since.
#House elves in the kitchens make sense#food being the primary exception to Gamp’s Law#but the rest never made sense to me#this is all mostly a joke#like we’ve all been teenagers and puberty is rough#shoutout to anyone who’s ever walked into a year 8 locker bay and made it out alive#anyone who went to a co-ed high school#*shudders*#let’s spare a thought for the poor Hogwarts kids with no guidance#a dorm of boys with no present parental figures to suggest they maybe try showering a bit more frequently for the next few years#also who’s teaching them to shave?#like are they all running around with those little sparse beards?#until they go home for the holidays and hopefully have a living father figure to show them?#that seems like a bit of a gamble given the survival rate of parents in the wizarding world#Hogwarts#Harry Potter#marauders era#marauders

kinda sucks that I couldn’t play datv long enough to see the solavellan reunion but oh well
#I don’t remember what the last straw was but I had a realization like#“why do i have to pretend im not playing a game from my favorite franchise in order to even remotely enjoy it?”#and that’s truly fucking bullshit as someone who has loved this franchise for years and given bioware sooooo much of my time money#and devotion. it doesn’t feel the same and none of my choices matter and things I was hoping to get resolved from past games more often than#not didn’t even get mentioned or were shoved under the rug in an easily missed codex entry#the fact that solavellan is in my fucking VEINS and I don’t even have the motivation to trudge through the rest of this game is telling#I should’ve known after what they did with andromeda they’d fuck this up#but if they made the game for the old fans the new ones wouldn’t throw money at them so alas#*johnny silverhand theme starts playing*#where is my nuke#any time I start to talk about this I start calm and it finds a way to upset me enough that I get actually angry#remember when I was a bioware brand embassador hhhahahahhshsjsa wait I still am#I cannot promote that shit anymore#I’m typing all of this with a lucanis pfp because I don’t hate the characters I hate how they were written if that makes sense#datv critical#I’m just SAD ok#stuck between wanting to play dragon age when I want comfort and knowing that I will never get a conclusion to any of the points brought up#dai wasn’t perfect either by all means but jesus christ at least it had consistency#anyway play cyberpunk 2077 for clear skin#shut up kenna#IM IRATE NOW. FUCK#I’m not even like… like I am truly at my core not a hateful person. I am not a hater#but this game is truly 100% grass fed grade A ass#ok i’m done

I just finished Tales of the Underworld.
chat what was that. what. what happened.
#theres so much to unpack#did i love it? no. did i hate it? also no.#cad bane KNOCKED UP A LADY????????????#and we just never. hear about this again? where is he? did he seek out bane for revenge?? did he just live the rest of his life traumatised?#i feel like that storyline didnt. NEED. a pregnancy. esp when it felt useless to the plot?#it would have made more sense if bane had turned around and went “oh shit thats my kid hey kid you want to rob a bank w me?” and THEN#that final confrontation took place. but maybe thats just me because w/out that it feels so. dull? and. meaningless.#like never once could I have ever imagined bane being someone to go knock a girl up even in his teens. it feels so ooc#also while i liked ventress and her three eps id have loved to know if this came before or after tbb#im assuming after because of the lack of that lil kid (who i didnt retain the name of because he was. not that interesting to me.)#but anyways the visuals and cinematography was STUNNER#made the show worth watching#also TECH CRUMBS !!!!!! I SAW HIM !!!!!!!!! IM NOT CRAZY CHAT#anyways#star wars#tales of the underworld

"Allura... I love you. I have for a long time. I wanna be your family. Earth can be your home, or-or anywhere you wanna go, it doesn't matter. I would follow you across the universe." "You truly feel that way?" "With all my heart."
Bonus:
#Lance McClain#Allura#Allurance#OTP: I would follow you across the universe.#Voltron: Legendary Defender#Mine.#All I want is to fly with queue.#This scene is so good... !!#Can we pretend that this episode was the series finale and nothing after it exists?#Being a Shiro and Allura fan is such a miserable experience.#You get to watch your favorite characters essentially be tortured until they die#with RARE moments of happiness and reprieve in the mean time#but never any true healing.#This is the closest that Allura gets to any sense of true happiness#to a balm being applied to all of the pain that she's carried with her since Episode ONE#and I just want to live in a delusional bubble where it's able to last#and she doesn't spend the rest of the series mired in guilt and grief until she kills herself.#Let me live in a fantasy land where Allura and Coran become a part of Lance's family and Lance's siblings are the aunts and uncles to Lance#and Allura's half-Altean babies.#And Shiro is the babies' godfather because he is VERY much isolated and has no family anywhere in sight and desperately deserves to feel#loved and appreciated and get to heal too.#And Allura gets to live among her people and revive their culture that she was so desperate and repeatedly narratively punished for#wanting to connect to.#Queen Allura and her Prince Consort Lance and their most trusted advisor Coran.#THAT'S the ending the characters deserved!#Not a senseless hateful “tragedy” in a show made to sell toys to seven year-olds!

i will say im not super invested in the idea of the show giving us too much information on c&a. like itll be super cool if we find out about it! and im sure itll be relevant information if we do but i think the information we get is going to be not super indepth, because im not sure itd match the tone of the show? its less about mystery and like The Lore and more about the characters and examining how different characters respond and have been responding to the environment set up by the show
(it WOULD be fun to learn more details about c&a and i AM curious i just dont think itd actually enhance much abt the show itself, and as such, i dont think its super important writing wise for the audience to learn about it either)
that SAID i do ascribe to the idea that ALL of the cast members worked for c&a before the ended up in the circus, no exceptions. i dont really know how say gangle or zooble wouldve ended up there, but i feel like they all ended up there one way or another. and i think most of the cast doesnt talk about their life in the real world bc its gone and theres no reason to dredge it up (or theyve forgotten it or most aspects of it), but it does make it fascinating that not even pomni, who has the least reason to avoid these topics at least early on, broached the subject of what in the WORLD is c&a UP to. it literally is never brought up ever as of ep 4. which makes me think the company was probably always super shady in some way to the pt that its employees were kinda desensitized to the idea that its c&as fault that horrible things happen
#tadc#i do think any discussion or reveal abt c&a is gonna have less to do w lore#and more abt like... the role that exploitative companies have in the harming of their employees#we see a little bit of it in how gangle has been affected by the same concept in ep 4#and i think theres hints of it in caines character but not enough for me to make a super concrete point about that#point being that i think c&a isnt going to be much of a 'literal' figure in the show so much as what it represents#hence why i dont think well actually learn too much about it. bc itd be kinda pointless and redundant#circus discussion#i think the way gooseworx has described abstraction honestly ties into it#its one of the first pieces of like. 'trivia' (i guess it counts as trivia??) i learned that gave me this feeling w c&a#'you get stripped of every bit of individuality you have and become something completely unrecognizable'#really leans into the idea. also makes sense why gangle being back in a job she had in the real world#would be implied to bring her so close to abstracting then really#i think in general the show is very much centered around people reacting to a bad environment and how different people like. Survive That#and c&a as a company epitomizes that. the circus is an extension of it after all#everything that happens in the circus is the responsibility of c&a#they dont need to tell us about c&a the circus does enough#and it serves to add a grounded element to the setting. cus like yeah theres already many elements drawing from real life#but the idea of working for a shitty company that treats its employees horribly is like. thats smth very grounded in reality#theres more i could go into on that front but i was drawing oc concepts so ill stop this post here#OH YEAH#and also i think the lack of discussion from characters generally implies that they know minimal about what role c&a played in this#so i think it also makes sense for the audience to not see this. pomnis confused abt the setting first and foremost and is adjusting#but the rest of the cast has no reason to question something they know they have no answers to#and if they did talk about it it wouldnt give anything to the audience anyway#except maybe kinger? but i feel like he doesnt actually... have the answers that one might assume he would#certainly involved in some way with c&a computer science wise but we dont even have confirmation of what he specialized in#just that it was computer science. he literally couldve just been the guy who made sure the servers were running at all and thats it#i feel like well never know but apparently pomni being an accountant is relevant so? who knows? maybe we WILL learn about their jobs!

Anyway after thorough research, I can confirm that I am, in fact, not a big fan of the snow ahsjakskla it was really cool for like an hour and I was having a fantastic time, but the novelty wore off quick when it melted into my clothes lmaoooo
#not snz#might use it in fics tho#now that i know it's not something everyone made up to gaslight those of us who have lived places it doesn't snow our whole lives LMAO#i still think the rain is sexier and more versatile but snow has a cute vibe to it#anyway we did like a fake ass 'hike' lmao idk where tf we were tbh but we were Walking#it was a fucking struggle bro i was fighting for my fucking life#like i thought hiking in the mud was bad but this was something else#and it wasn't even a real hike like it was mostly flat 😭#also turns out none of the clothes i own are good to wear in the snow#crazy concept who would've thought that the clothes of someone who's never seen snow once in their life wouldn't be good for the snow#i had my thick ass jacket i wear to my ranch hand job in the winter/when it rains but that was Not Enough#i did have the sense to bring my parka that i had when i was a swimmer bc that shit is water proof af#and it did help i guess but i looked fucking stupid 😔#anyway we had all rented out like? a house? a cabin?? so we could all stay together#so we spent a few hours outside then went in and made food and played games and watched movies#so that was cool i liked that vibe#it was really pretty but man once you realize you're wet it just all goes downhill lmaoooo#got to snuggle with the boyf tho so that was nice 🥰#also why do men do the things they do ahdkaksks they started wrestling on the floor while me and the other girl were just like 👁️👄👁️#like i used to be included in wrestling matches at the station before it got banned so i know it's entertaining for them but i don't get it#honestly a bit unnerving knowing that i could never stand a chance if it was fr and i don't like to think about that for too long#but man idk what it is about this breed of men wanting to tackle each other to the floor lmaoooo like what instinct is that#also we threw snowballs at each other and that was fucking primal LMAO like i understand that one#and then a few of us built snow people while everyone else was working on making just a massive fucking snowball#so yeah i had a good time but I'm so fucking glad it was only a couple days bc i couldn't deal with that for long lmaoooo#loooooved just sitting inside and looking out the window tho like that was peak#anyway we left early on monday and came back late tuesday and i had emt work today#or yesterday technically bc it is ✨️ 1 am ✨️ lmaoooo#and i have a full schedule for the rest of the week with various activities/obligations so no time to rest for me until next week lmao#here's to hoping i survive ahsmkakz

My personal Theory/Headcanon for the seasonal courts in acotar
I like to think that the seasonal court’s actually do have seasons, its just not as varied as normal seasons.
for example (i will be using our months and for reference i live in the northern hemisphere)
Spring- During the typical spring months (march-may) its very well. spring. Very average spring temps at 50-60 Fahrenheit, lots of spring showers but low humidity, very misty in the morning. Now in summer (june-mid september) it gets a bit more humid, temps peaking at probably 80-ish, theres less rain-showers but when it does rain its very dramatic storms. Fall (mid september-mid november) is similar to typical spring, its the period where plants start to ‘die off’ and stuff starts fresh. it gets a bit colder but never super cold and humidity goes back down. Winter (november-february) is the coldest with lows in roughly the 40s, its very foggy in the mornings and early afternoon.
#acotar#a court of thorns and roses#sarah j maas#sjm#seasonal courts#spring court#i have ideas for the rest but spring court inspired me#Because just one static state for the courts never made sense beacuse theres lots of different types of seasons i guess#like the dark damp springs and not just bright flowery springs#you know what i mean#i may be biased tho cause spring is my favorite season#i just think it adds some interesting depth#tamlin#acotar theories#acotar headcanons

#i know it’s not possible bc of the timeline#but asp timelines have never made sense anyway#anything to make her not connected to logan for the rest of her life#also jess as the father is the worst idea ever#don’t even get me started#gilmore girls asks#gilmore girls#rory gilmore#a year in the life#gilmore girls ayitl#rory’s baby daddy#teddypickerry

i don't struggle with my sexuality. my sexuality struggles with me.
#catholic things#one queer catholic to the rest of us#man its rough out here innit#the queer catholics: YEAH#anyways one of my close friends came out to me like. friday#and i was like. so shocked#but it made her make sense#people say coming out is beautiful and i think it is often#because the person sometimes makes more sense#because if you see and know them#you can love them#anyways i realized on friday that i'd never actually had an in person conversation with another queer catholic#so that was fun

Missy was literally Clara's stalker and yet some people will try to convince you that the Spymaster was obsessed with Yaz because he talk to her that one time.
#doctor who#dw#honestly the “stick with me” line would've made sense if he'd actually hung out with her in that episode instead of graham#they barely interact and ten chibnall makes it seem like he's taken a special interest in her#and just never goes anywhere with it for the rest of the season#chibnall crit

taylor swift lyrics that keep u up at night?
*takes a deep breath*
remember looking at this room, we loved it cause of the light now i just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time.
(oversharing in the tags)
#i know it's not the most obvious choice and i think i've never talked about this line before#but i think it will keep me up at night for the rest of my life#so when i heard you're losing me for the first time i was in a very similar situation#most of you don't even know i was engaged and had the most terrible break up this year#it's easier when someone breaks up with you#it's much harder when you have to make that decision#and the hardest when you know you made this decision already but you're not sure if it's actually the time...#and i feel like both taylor and i knew it was the only option but we were never 100% sure if it's time to go#if that makes sense#i did eventually#i still remember moving into our apartment 3+ years ago when we were still happy#and then spending last six months of our relationship alone in this apartment knowing it's going nowhere and i have to leave eventually#and moving out in june to my own small cozy place i live in now#but i never even got closure#so i still didn't fully recover#and it will haunt me forever#trust me this line always makes me cry#ugh#sorry for that#i still miss him sometimes even tho he was a bad person#thanks for the ask tho#i feel like i wanted to say all of that long ago and you just gave me a perfect opportunity to do that#so i'm grateful ❤️#yes i got your letter yes i'm doing better*

Wrap it up!!
Thank you Jewel Ham
#Spotify#Spotify Wrapped#Spotify Wrapped 2024#Sleep Token#The Crane Wives#The Score#Gorillaz#Private Island#The Magnus Archives#The Magnus Protocol#Malevolent#Malevolent Podcast#The Penumbra Podcast#Spire#Syntax#Spire Podcast#Well. Here again#I mean after June it was kinda no contest#Like I tried to get Gorillaz up there and I did but they should’ve been 2nd#But it's fineeeeeee bc the eepies are at the top. as they should be. 2 anonymous British bands at the top that's a win#I felt like I listened so freaking much and it was like way less than last year what was I doing last year pft#Well I had a month long thing to go to this summer so I guess there was that#WHERE WAS THE GENRE SECTION. I wanted to know.... it's funny I say I'm bad at categorizing my music taste and I am but I want this...#the past years I've been monitoring this (2020 to now) my genres have gone from 113 to 35 to 15 to 14 to idk#like the decline made no sense to me. maybe they mean like new ones but like. I felt like I explored. ESPECIALLY this year#I never listened to any metal/prog metal before ST but now I have#So glad Silent Running stayed up there. The rest being ST is so funny. They were the songs I got into first so I listened to them the most#If Atlantic @ Red Rocks 2024 was on there ough Atlantic would've probably made it top. Sleep Token release a live album I dare you#I'm happy with the year overall!! I listened to so many musics and fell in love with the medium all over again#See y'all next year!!

Sorry, I'm really thinking about Davy Jones and Calypso now.... Like... The longing... They were okay with waiting x amount of years to finally see one another again physically. The gender of it all, both of them being humanized concepts... The asexuality of 1 day upon land 10 years at sea. I could do it....
#devon yaps#jesus fucking Christ im sorry#they could have been so good#i am genuinely obsessed with the first 3 movies#sorry im projecting sexuality onto smthn thats supposed to be difficult. i could do it... i could see my true love once and not be horned u#the rest of those ten years...#whats the issue???#*horned up#i hate that Tumblr is making me confront my nuanced sexuality after 6+ years of just going “eh”#it never made sense to me why Davy Jones struggled with this. he had a bad bitch at home....#i get it now#I'm not “normal”

I found an old journal from 10+ years ago and remebered I wrote down some of my OG Créa bg ideas and world building and it was SO amusing to look through bc I was only JUST dipping my toes into tolkien and had NO clue how to navigate lore. I had decent ideas to build on but it’s sooooooo funny being like “damn wtf is this girl this doesn’t work at all” and is somewhat embarrassing but still makes me smile and see how far I’ve come.
#now I’m the lore freak that literally everyone comes to for questions and advice#I love answering questions and delving into lore and working (and breaking) canon#it was SO funny th#bc I always forget but Créa was originally Dúnedain before she was ever a ranger! and it made way more sense later on for her to be a range#*ranger#but I also always had it that she died in her early 20’s so. I never explored it much until a few years later and the rest is history#I’m glad I got to let Créa live and flourish and explore her character in these last 10 years#and I am so lucky to have had so many friends and talented writers who took a chance on me to write with me#and still do!

#Creepy chatter#My yeehaw school required every one of us to be musical little babies#You could spot the choir kids bc they never were hauling instrument cases#And we had like monthly concerts since every student was guaranteed to be in band choir or orchestra#I remember my mom heavily suggesting I pick smth small like a flute on instrument day#And I came home with a trombone as big as me like :3#I could only practice at school tho lmao...my poor mom was only thinking of our neighbors in the building#Then I ended up doubling up w french horn after riding as 1st chair trombone for a year and a half#I was 1st chair frenchie for the rest of middle school but I think trombone was more fun#French horn is definitely prettier to me though#String instruments have never made sense to me but boy howdy can I toot
