Trying wild fermented soda for the first time! Elderflower pollen is high in natural yeast, so it’s perfect for fermenting. I let it ferment for about 3 days and just transferred it to a bottle to let the fizz build up. It should be ready in a day or two!

grindeldore alternative ship-names i've found/made

okay, so we all know those aesthetic ship names that are used in so many fandoms, turning "jily" into "flowerpot", etc

in the current grindeldore fandom, most of us refer to grindeldore as "grindeldore" or "gelbus" (haven't heard that in a while tho)... so around last year, I came up with an "aesthetic" shipname for grindeldore which I've used as a hashtag in my tiktoks.

i wanted to collect a list of possible cute names because grindeldore deserves a cute shipname! anyways, here it is!!

my own:

for me, it was clear that i wanted albus to be referred to as "phoenix" because of: 1. his family history & the connection to a phoenix 2. just like the phoenix, albus metaphorically "died" and came back from the ashes as a changed man

STARPHOENIX:

starphoenix mixes star = gellert & phoenix = albus. i referred to gellert as a star due to my love for icarus & fallen angel symbolism with gellert. i will go in depth with this in a future post, I think. gellert flew too close to the sun (the greater good, his ambitions) ...

SAINTPHOENIX:

name history: Hungarian form of Gerard. Saint Gellért was an 11th-century missionary to Hungary who was martyred by being thrown into the Danube.

personal interpretation: gellert had a huge god complex and thought he was destined to save. that to rule was his & albus's birthright. he stopped believing in the christian god early on - instead, he viewed himself as a higher creature, above humankind, but especially above muggles.

THESTRALPHOENIX:

i am pretty sure i didn't come up with this because it's pretty basic, but I don't remember anybody else using it who I could name, so yeah.

thestral = a widely spread headcanon for gellert's patronus; phoenix = albus's patronus

LAVENDERBEE:

lavender = gellert (him and his lavender tie... albus gifting him the lavender tie... queer symbolism...)

bee = albus dumbledore, name meaning bumblebee

from other people:

elderbee (by the wonderful @bloodpxct )

elderflower (i saw this name on a pinterest board which was last updated 2 years ago by AnniGranger)
