I was gonna put this in the comments for your question abt a Harry Potter SGE crossover but it was too long ANYWAYYY

so I’ve actually seen one of these and they started off on the Hogwarts Express (it was a Hestadil thing tho not much Sophie and Agatha or Tedros), but I also think it would be cool to start at the station and kinda show each character leaving their families, or if they don’t have families. So like Tedros and maybe Merlin? And then Agatha and Sophie could show up together and Anadil could come in with her fancy rich family (idk why but in every fanfic centered on Anadil or the coven everyone just kinda makes her rich af) and idk just other ppl ig. It could potentially be chaotic but it might also be nice to start at when the characters get sorted into their houses?

I’m shit at fanfic recommendations since all my writing is from me and I make up all of my characters lol

Here’s the link to that Hogwarts fic for inspiration:

apparently the link doesn’t work so just go to Wattpad and look up “School for Good and Evil Hogwarts au” and the first thing that pops up should be called “Hestadil Shorts” and if you click it and go to the table of contents there should be a Hogwarts section.

I did read this but I didn't respond. It didn't let me. I've gotten the idea and they're gonna be separate schools and I've gotten an idea to start it off but this genuinely helped! Thank you!

woke up and someone spilled vanilla extract all over my dash, so as punishment you strange little beasties are getting all the VANILLA FACTS i know:

vanilla is the 2nd most expensive spice in the world (2nd to saffron)

which is why more than 99% of what we call "vanilla extract" is actually vanillin (vanilla's dominant flavor compound) and is not extracted from real vanilla.

luckily, even professionals struggle to tell the difference when it comes to things like baked goods. but there is a distinct difference in non-heat treated products like vanilla ice cream. real vanilla has a more complex, individualized flavor profile.

why is vanilla so expensive? because it is a ridiculously delicate & demanding crop. complete primadonna.

vanilla beans come from vanilla orchids. these crazy flowers bloom for A SINGLE DAY and have to be HAND-POLLINATED in a process that is exhausting, delicate, and requires specialist knowledge passed down over generations.

then, if you're lucky, you get vanilla beans.

which then require months of further specialized treatment.

the entire process takes about a year and can go wrong at any stage

vanilla has been cultivated for over 800 years (possibly much longer). the first known cultivators are the Totonac, an indigenous people of Mexico.

the Aztecs used it as a sweetener to balance out the bitter taste of cocoa. it was popular in a drink called xocolatl--the precursor to modern hot chocolate!

it is only pollinated by a very specific orchid bee!!!

which is why no fruit could be grown outside of Mexico until the 1800s

Edmond Albius, born into slavery, invented the pollination method we still use today--launching a global industry when he was just 12 years old.

today, the majority of the world's vanilla is grown in Madagascar

if you want real vanilla, read the labels carefully--it's harder to find than you think!

in conclusion, those tiny black specks you see in fancy vanilla ice cream? those are vanilla bean seeds! itty bitty orchid seeds!!! they are delicious and also a PRISSY BITCH!

Alastor doesn't actually know that much French canonically! In addition, it'd be French-creole rather than normal French if he did speak it fluently!

While I like the idea of him speaking a different language fluently, the thought of him having a hard time learning another language and having to read children's books and sound out the words is a very sweet idea. Particularly if he does so because his mother is able to speak the language just fine. Rise up for Alastor not knowing and having difficulties learning another language but he tries his best! Seriously this could be a fun and relatable aspect of his character that too many people are missing out on in favor of him speaking normal French fluently.

Researcher and doctorate @NoraEpstein on Twitter just posted a video of the new tattoo she got commemorating her PhD.

And… she footnoted the artwork, with a literal footnote 😂 I love this so much
