in honor of American independence day, I have an american harry au. The Potters immigrated to the US to hide from voldemort. Harry potter gives off 2nd gen immigrant vibes (I would know I am one!)
And the Potters are looking down from the magic afterlife seeing their son being taken back to the country they risked everything to emigrate from like :(
Culture clash woohoo. Also he's not white.
I always forget 'mate' is British slang for 'friend'. Harry thinks Ron just declared him his new boyfriend and is completely fine with it.
Go write it!

K-pop Discography Deep Dives: TXT
Tumblr media
A Disclaimer: I was planning, when I first started Tumblr, to be a lurker, but then I began an office job and needed something to listen to to keep myself occupied. And then, I started going through entire K-pop groups’ repertoires, album by album, and jotting down my thoughts. And then, I stumbled into K-pop tumblr and decided, you know what, there’s at least four people on this hell site who would read in depth rants about these discographies and at least five who wouldn’t read it and then get mad because it’s kind of our job as K-pop fans. My lukewarm takes should be taken with an entire silo of salt and the knowledge that this is completely for fun and occupying my very bored, very neurodivergent brain. All this to say, for the love of god, I’m a sleep-deprived student and I don’t have time for internet hate, so don’t kill me. With that being said, enjoy!
Here are my credentials: yeah…none. I think the amount of TXT songs I know can be counted on one hand, and besides one, they’re all singles. But like with BTS, I’ve been a K-pop fan for four years and I figured that it was about time I make an effort to give them a try. It’s funny; I feel like with every girl group I cover I’m like “well obviously it was July 2017 because Joy had red hair” and with every boy group I’m like “um…are there seven or eight of them again?”
But I digress. TXT was formed in 2019, by Big Hit Entertainment, with five members (and yes, it’s five, I googled it, I promise), Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Heuning Kai, Soobin, and Taehyun, and they’ve been pretty popular since then, which is an achievement in and of itself, coming from an agency best known for the biggest boy group of all time.
Tumblr media
They debuted with double title tracks, the first of which was Crown. With the somewhat moodier image they have now, I didn’t expect to think their debut so adorable, but that’s definitely the word I’d use. Despite them being a 4th generation group, the way this is shot, the bright colors, and the comic book drawings remind me very much of late 2nd, early 3rd gen, which hey, I’m not complaining. The song, fittingly, is upbeat and bubbly, very much pop with some synthy influence. Overall, I liked it, as a 2nd and 3rd fan, but something about it doesn’t leave that much of an impact on me. Maybe it’s that I’m not the biggest fan of very young-sounding music, and this is a little too reminiscent of Chewing Gum by NCT Dream for my liking.
Cat + Dog is also from this first EP, and basically all of the comments I had for Crown repeat here, though I did like Crown more. I know that this is more me than the song, but something about this one just…creeped me out?, in a way that Crown didn’t. I know that they were young when this came out (between 16 and 19), but they’re acting like they’re 10 and it’s a bit unnerving. From the EP The Dream Chapter: Star, I liked the calmer but still poppy beat of Our Summer, though I wish it was a little slower to stand out from the other songs in the album more.
Run Away is a song I’d already heard from TXT, but I like it more in the context of their work thus far. It’s still pop, still full of that youthful energy and hope, but leans into an ethereal and nostalgic feeling, and overall feels a lot more suited to them as older teenagers. It has some good humor, and both its Harry Potter references and its message of running away from the monotony and cruelty of the real world with your friends turns it into something universal.
Tumblr media
From The Dream Chapter: Magic, I enjoyed the odd percussion and the melodic chanting in New Rules, the gentle vocals in Magic Island, and the sweet love story between childhood friends in 20 CM. My favorite was probably Can’t We Just Leave The Monster Alive, for the interesting trope deconstruction and its encouragement of taking your own path in life.
Can’t You See Me starts with some interesting almost-stop-motion in its ruffling pages, and I couldn’t decide where I thought it was going to go. At first, it combines both the young love idea of Crown and the themes of magic and isolation from the world from Run, which work pretty well, but it soon devolves into something resembling a cry for help with its unusual structure and odd vocal fry segways. It leans very into ethereal, while speaking about the dark side of a friendship gone bad. It took me a couple listens to make up my mind, but I do like this one.
From The Dream Chapter: Eternity, I had two standouts in Fairy of Shampoo and Maze In The Mirror. Fairy of Shampoo (despite the odd name) feels a bit like floating with its citypop synth and jazzy background, and I wish it’d been promoted as a special single instead of Puma. Maze In The Mirror is another song here that was written by the members themselves about their time as trainees, the difficulties they faced, and their friendship. As I’ve said before, some of my favorite songs in k-pop are this kind of acoustic, genuine b-sides that convey such honest emotions, so of course I loved this one.
Tumblr media
Blue Hour’s very calm vocalizing and acoustics caught me off guard before the synths I was expecting came in, and I found myself nodding my head. Like with Run, I appreciated the brightness and humor here much more than I did in the first couple of songs because I thought it was better balanced here without overdoing it on the aegyo. It’s not a world-changing song, but I did have a good time with it and it made me laugh a few times (especially with that cowboy hat because what on earth were they thinking).
Minisode 1: Blue Hour reminds me a lot of BTS’ ON album, down to having a song about COVID (in this case the aptly titled We Lost The Summer), which I can’t bring myself to actually critique because of how sweet it is, though in the year of the whoever 2023 I wince to remember 2020. Besides it, I loved the airy vocals and video game esque synthy production on Ghosting and the anthemic chorus in Wishlist.
0X1=Lovesong was another song I had already heard of TXT’s, because I happen to be a fan of Seori, who’s featured on this track, and I have to say that my biggest gripe with the track is that she’s just not featured enough, but that’s really the only criticism I have of this one. I confess that I love this song, and it was actually the reason I wanted to do this review. Remember how I called Wishlist anthemic? Well, clearly I don’t know the meaning of the word, or didn’t until I heard this song. It takes TXT’s youthful energy and pairs it with a full on alt-rock ballad. It feels like a follow-up to Run with its immaculate roadtrip energy, and though the verses are a bit slow, that chorus is just a knockout and just makes me want to be a kid again, grab my best friend’s hand, and run for the goddamn hills. Probably won’t be lighting a car on fire, though, sorry.
Tumblr media
Far be it from me to dissuade from some extra drama, but LO$ER=LOVER…well, it’s giving full on “when I was…a young boy…my father took me into the city…”. No but really, I want to think that this level of ridiculousness is some kind of intentional My Chemical Romance parody, because it’s honestly hilarious. It has some of that anthemic quality that I so loved in Lovesong, but that great build-up in the front half of the chorus is just undercut by a lack of payoff and the abject silliness that is “I’m a loser, I’m a loser, lover with a dollar sign is a loser.” I think that I would like this more if I was sure that the joke is intentional, but I’m honestly not sure that it is. Either way, they’re clearly having a lot of fun with this, so it’s tough to dislike.
From The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape, I have a lot to talk about, since it’s such a long album. Firstly, I already knew the chorus of Anti-Romantic due to its popularity, but I liked it more in context with the rest of the song. No Rules (which I assume is a follow-up to New Rules) has a great beat and in my humble opinion, there’s never enough disco. MOA Diary, a song for their fans, is very sweet and I can totally see it being a crowd favorite at a concert; I loved the harmonizing. Dear Sputnik was probably my favorite though; it’s another song written by one of the members and has an excellent alt-rock drive that totally should’ve made it be the single instead of LO$ER=LOVER.
Good Boy Gone Bad had me wincing before it even began, because the title already hints towards more non-self aware drama. And it turns out my instincts were right, because while LO$ER=LOVER is so ridiculous it’s basically camp, Good Boy Gone Bad just had me rolling my eyes and wondering not why the good boy had in fact gone bad but why I had to hear about it. Also why Yeonjun was driving a motorcycle in a faux fur coat, but that’s a story for another time.
Tumblr media
From the EP Thursday’s Child, which is the second “minisode”, I liked the intro Opening Sequence more than I expected, mostly due to the charisma in their vocals, which really do the heavy lifting in such a minimalistic song. I also enjoyed Trust Fund Baby (give it a chance, I know the title doesn’t inspire confidence), again due to the strength of their vocals and the emotion they carry, when singing a song about a relationship that’s ended due to poverty. This is overall a very melancholy EP, a sharp contrast to Blue Hour’s optimism. Even the more synthy Thursday’s Child Has Far To Go isn’t totally upbeat, but as an album closer, it does hold a little hope that things won’t always be bleak and ended up being my favorite.
Sugar Rush Ride is, thankfully, a return to the synthy, ethereal, upbeat sound that has become TXT’s signature for its verses and pre-choruses, but for some reason opts for a very simple whistling hook and an incredibly jarring anti-drop chorus instead of resolving its great build-up. The bridge, likewise, feels harsh in what’s otherwise a calm song, and honestly, I find this song more disappointing than I would if it used a style I hate throughout, because I really enjoy the greater part of it…but I just can’t get past that chorus.
From The Name Chapter: Temptation, there’s three b-sides I want to talk about. Devil By The Window is a fully English song, which normally I would complain about, as I often do. But this one’s actually really good; it’s tense, attention-grabbing, and has a very taut arrangement. Also, this is probably me reading too much into it, but the chorus is giving me such queer energy (“I met the devil by the window, traded my life, temptation touched my tongue, spread the wings of desire. He’s whispering ‘give up, don’t you put up a fight.’”). But…c’mon guys, maybe I’ve missed something, but last time I checked straight people don’t get seduced by random devils of the same gender standing near their window, but hey, how should I know?
Tumblr media
Besides that, I also liked the acoustic guitar in the pop-rock Farewell, Neverland and the chill vocals here as they sing goodbye both to a childhood lover and to childhood as a whole. Tinnitus (Wanna Be A Rock) pleasantly surprised me with its Afro-pop influences, because it’s not a common pairing in k-pop and I was surprised by how well it works here. Also, apparently some of the members wrote both of these, so kudos!
Do It Like That is an English-language collaboration with the Jonas Brothers, and between its very mainstream pop sound, the English, and its beat, I admit that it gave me war flashbacks to Dynamite. Here is where I invoke my disclaimer of: Dynamite is not a bad song (see my way-too-long BTS review for a whole two paragraphs of thoughts on that), but k-pop doesn’t need to try and replicate it. I know that this is totally down to my own bias, because Do It Like That isn’t a bad song either, but I won’t be returning to whatever concerningly white void they filmed this in anytime soon.
Back For More is another English-language collaboration, this time with Brazilian singer Anitta. I was preparing myself for another paragraph of disclaimers and having to do some overly dramatic sighing, but actually, I liked this! It feels like any other TXT single with its disco influences and catchy beat, just in another language, as it should be. I also appreciate that they collaborated with a Latin pop star, who sings in both English and her own language too, which made it feel less like a cop-out. The first time I heard this one, it was the shortened version that they performed at the VMAs, but the longer version with the bridge really elevates the song and I’m glad I watched it. It’s not my favorite but I’m not going to throw a tantrum if it comes on.
Tumblr media
Chasing That Feeling is from their latest comeback just a month or so ago. I was feeling optimistic from the first verse’s beat, although after being burned by Sugar Rush Ride, I was still a bit wary. But, thankfully, Chasing That Feeling does what it predecessors didn’t do: it delivers, with those head-bopping synths, citypop influences, and electronic background. I admit that I wish it had a bit more of a climax and went against the grain, but it’s hard to not be won ever when a song’s chorus starts by saying “I’ve turned my back on heaven” and telling fate “come on and kiss me”.
The Name Chapter: Freefall is another full length album, so I have a lot of highlights. I loved the exploration of a harsher version of rock mixed with metal in the teen angst driven Growing Pain, which their voices were surprisingly suited to. I also enjoyed the vulnerability and slowing rising vocals in Deep Down’s pre-chorus, the acceptance that “life is not a fairytale” but is still worth living in Happily Ever After, and the moody Skipping Stones, which tells the listener not to be too hard on themselves, because what they’re going through will pass. I think that Skipping Stones was also written by the members themselves.
So, I enjoyed this more than I expected! I confess that I did expect something similar to BTS, which is probably unfair given the fact that besides having the same company, they have nothing to do with each other. Calm down, I’m not laminating my stan card just yet. I’m not a MoA, but I think that I could probably consider myself at least a casual fan after this. We’ll see how it goes. Maybe the next comeback will absolutely blow me away.
My Top 5 songs are Lovesong, Run Away, Thursday’s Child Has Far To Go, Dear Sputnik, and Maze In The Mirror, with Skipping Stones as an honorable mention. TXT gets an 8.75 out of 10 from me, which, again, is a surprise for both of us. I do love synth, rock pop, and disco, and I’m excited by the fact that they’ve already written a bunch of songs. Here’s hoping that they keep getting better and they end up getting as much creative freedom as some entirely self-produced groups.
Tumblr media
We’ll be covering a girl group next week (that was supposed to be a one parter but accidentally became two posts long, oops), so stay tuned! Tschüss!

So I'm invested with the Polin Harry Potter AU now lol so what happened at the Hogsmeade? I really want Colin's POV cuz I know the man was FUMING the whole night. And how he put his foot in his mouth (again)
Cue the next few weeks of chaotic Colin running around trying to talk to Pen but gets thwarted at EVERY move by the combined powers of Eloise and the 2nd gen Marauders while James woos his littlle pretty redhead friend.
(BTW Im torn if I wanted this to end up as Poil or Pen x James crap)
Sorry for the late reply, it's been a bit hectic with the end of the year (I teach elementary school plus my mom ended up in the hospital with pneumonia) but here is basically what Colin is thinking during the Yule Ball and the fight that causes the first break in his friendship with Penelope (yes there will be another, much worse one later on).
Here is the link for the first two parts:
And now I present to you Colin Bridgerton, putting his foot spectacularly in his mouth.
When Colin had woken up that been, he'd felt a mixture of excitement and guilt. He was of course excited to see Marina looking no doubt gorgeous as ever in whatever dress robes while also getting a chance to twirl her around the dance floor (and if George Crane happened to be watching all the better!) He'd been in love with Marina Thompson since third year, when she'd offered him a sweet after class. His father had passed away the summer before and he was doing his best not to cry and be strong for his siblings but it was tiring.
Yet Marina, being the sweet and beautiful girl she was, had noticed and offered him the sweet she had been planning on eating.
Colin knew from that moment that she would be woman he would marry one done, his soulmate. His father had fallen in love with his mother during hogwarts after all so it was only natural Colin would find his other half as well.
Of course, their relationship wasn't perfect. Marina's father put a lot of pressure on her to do well while things seemed to come easy to Colin. Marina had plans to make a career for herself while Colin dreamed of traveling the world and researching new creatures. Despite their differences though, Colin felt confident that they balanced each other out.
Yes, he'd been upset when she'd broken up with him and utterly heartbroken when she started dating George Crane not even weeks later. But he could admit that he should have listened to her more and taken her a bit more seriously.
But all that was in the past and once more Marina was in his arms and all was right.
In fact, tonight might turn out to be a most excellent night as Marina kept hinting at slipping away to go to the room of requirement and finally take their relationship to the next level.
Perhaps he was old fashioned but Colin had heard how his father had not slept with anyone before his mother, wanting to only sleep with the woman he would marry. His brothers had of course not followed this path, especially Anthony who he was positive slept with half the girls in his year by the time he graduate. But Colin was a romantic and what could be more romantic than him and Marina giving themselves to each other on the night of the ball.
Of course Colin would have understood if Marina slept with George, he would never shame or judge his soulmate for not thinking the same as him. But Marina had mentioned that she could never take that step with George and she had realized that Colin was the one she wanted to share that part of herself with.
But while he was excited about the events of the night, another part still of his mind was occupied by thought of another girl.
Penelope Feathering, a dear friend of his family and one of his closest friends. They had been friends since Eloise and Penelope met as children and she had been there for both Colin and Eloise during their fathers passing. She'd also been the one to comfort him through his break up with Marina.
While Eloise and his siblings would spit vitriol words or muttered insults under their breath about Marina, Penelope merely listened and never said a cruel work about her. She understood that Colin loved Marina and still held her in high regard, given that they had been friends long before they started dating. It was why he originally asked her to be his date to the Yule ball.
Pen wouldn't try to hit on him or make a snide remark about his ex. She had a great sense of humor and would be wonderful company.
So when Marina had come back to him, by some miracle of fate, and Colin had to let Penelope know his change in plans, she'd of course been her usual sweet and understanding self.
Until she'd overheard his argument with Eloise and had avoided him since.
He knew he'd hurt her, he'd known that the second he met her eyes. But for the love of God he hadn't meant to! He knew Pen probably thought he meant that no one would want to date but he hadn't meant it like that!
She was his dearest friend and he could imagine treating Penelope the way he did Marina. It was unfathomable. It would be like trying to imagine dating his sisters (shudder).
Unfortunately for Colin, he hadn't been able to approach Penelope that whole week with Eloise guarding her religiously. So he'd given up in favor of spending time with Marina who seemed to want to be around far more than before.
But tonight he would find time to slip away to the Ravenclaw dorm and apologize to Pen. He doubted she'd want to attend the ball when Eloise was going with Theo (that itself was another thing that seemed unfathomable, his spitfire sister dating someone!) So he'd make sure to stop by and apologize when Marina was busy with her friends.
Everything had been going splendidly at first.
Marina looked breathtaking in a lovely gold dress that made her look even more beautiful and she'd even surprised him with a kiss that promised more to come.
His friends met him by the entrance the the great hall and they'd started a conversation about quidditch until Richard Fife had stopped mid sentence, eyes widening as he looked at something over Colin's shoulder.
"Is that-Penelope Featherington with James Potter?" he sputtered as Colin looked at him confused before turning around.
The boy coming down the stairs was certainly James Potter, dressed in black dress robes with his dark hair slicked and and mischievous eye which were currently gazing at his smaller red haired companion.
The girl looked similar to Pen with her red hair and short rounded figure. But his Pen didn't wear makeup and always wore her in one or two braids, explaining it was more manageable with her curls and wore baggy sweaters that her mother had bought as she was certain her daughter would only increase in size. And when she wasn't wearing her school uniform, she was always in yellow. She was his adorable Pen.
Which is why the girl coming down the stairs could not have been Pen
The girl coming down the stairs with James looked nothing like Penelope, with her emerald off shoulder dress robes lined with white lace that hugged her waist before poofing out into a floor length skirt. Around her pale neck was a black satin ribbon choker with some pendant hanging off of it. Red curls cascaded over her left shoulder from a bun adorned with tiny white flowers. Her blue eyes were framed by dark curly lashes (mascara her thought) and her cheeks were colored slightly pink as her red painted lips curved into a smile at something James said.
This girl was a lovely creature no doubt and he could see why someone like James Potter would have asked her to be his date but there was no way she was his adorable red haired friend-
"Penelope, James over here!" called Michael Stirling and Colin felt his body stiffen as James placed a hand on Penelope's waist (far to low for his liking!) as he lead Penelope over to the Marauders 2.0 but not before Colin caught the smirk James shot his way.
At some point Marina said something to get his attention and he put on his charming smile as they entered the Great Hall for dinner.
He did his best to pay attention to what his girlfriend and friends were talking about, but his eyes kept wandering to the table across the hall from them. Michael Stirling was waving his hands around and saying something that resulted in the people at his table laughing (except for Theo who looked strangely upset).
It wasn't until the dancing had started with Colin twirling Marina around, when he spotted James giving an overdramatic bow to Penelope as she giggled and followed his lead as he moved them across the floor that Colin's shock melted into fury.
Colin was not known for his temper, Anthony being regarded as the hothead of the family, but it took every fiber of his being to not march across the floor and punch James Potter in his smug little face.
The Marauders were known for their pranks and they had always been pretty tame, considering that no one got hurt but it seemed as if the boys were upping their usual pranks to acts of cruelty.
Colin knew that while he found Penelope to be adorable, many other made fun of her for looks. Unlike the Bridgertons, her family was not the most popular and of her sisters she often found herself the source of the most ridicule. Of course he'd done his best to reprimand his friends when they snidely commented on Penelope (except for Will and Alice who were the kinder members of the group) or changed the subject.
He didn't know why James Potter decided to play around with Penelope's heart but he was putting a stop to it right now!
Colin bided his time, waiting patiently until he finally saw James leave to get a drink leaving Penelope alone for the first time that night.
Murmuring an excuse to Marina, Colin quickly walked over to Penelope and grabbed her hand.
"Colin wha-"
"We need to talk. Now," he said firmly, sounding a bit like Anthony, as he dragged Penelope out of the Great Hall and into an empty corridor nearby. As soon as Colin deemed them far enough way, he let go of Penelope's hand and started pacing.
Penelope let out a huff, crossing her arms, looking a bit irritated with Colin.
"What on earth has gotten into you? You could have just said what you needed to in there. If this is about me being mad at you, I told you I'm fine! You know how Eloise gets though -"
"This isn't about that," interrupted Colin as his eyes were drawn to where Penelope's arms had pushed up her breasts. Merlin when did Pen grow boobs?
Shaking his head, Colin quickly removed his dress robes and wrapped Penelope, feeling more relaxed now that she looked it bit more like herself. Thankfully Penelope didn't try to shake it off, pulling it closer to her instead while shooting him a curious look.
"Okay then why the dramatics?" she asked.
Colin ran a hand through his hair, knowing what he would have say next would no doubt hurt Penelope but better to tell her now than let James continue to lead her on.
"It's about Potter," he said ask Pen titled her head in confusion.
"James?" she asked curiously making Colin frown.
"Yes. Look I'm not saying this to be mean or hurt you but I'd rather you hear it from me then have to face this all later on. I know you think he's a great guy and he's handsome and what not but he's not who you think he is. The Marauders are Hogwarts biggest pranksters and sometimes they take their pranks a little to far. I'm not sure if they realize that people can get hurt but I don't want you to be be hurt by James later on," he said as Penelope's brow furrowed in confusion.
"Prank? Colin I highly doubt James, Fred and Michael will do something like set off fireworks in the Great Hall or turn the dance floor into an ice skating rink. Headmistress McGonagall would have their heads and Phillip would never allow it," she said calmly as Colin sighed in frustration.
"That's not the kind of prank I'm talking about Penelope! I mean pranks like tricking people for fun like turning Cressida Cowper face into a cows or convincing a second year that mermaid like to eat cake or" Colin closed his eyes as he uttered the next part, "tricking girls into thinking they actually like them."
Silence.
Colin opened his eyes to see Penelope gaping at him in shock.
"You think James," she said slowly "asked me to the Yule Ball... as some sort of cruel prank?
Colin threw his hands up in the air.
"Yes obviously! I mean it makes no sense why he would ask you to go to begin with. The guy has had girls asking him out for the past two weeks and he suddenly decides to ask you. It just seems suspicious. Plus you and him are completely different," he ranted not noticing how Penelope stiffened.
"Different?" she said softly but Colin didn't seem to hear.
"Yes! I mean just look at the way you dressed up for him tonight! The makeup, the dress, the hair! This isn't you Pen and I don't want you to feel like you need to change yourself to get a guy like Potter to like you when he's only leading you on! James Potter is someone who likes having all eyes on them and your-"
"A wallflower?" she finished raising an eyebrow as Colin stopped mid speech as Penelope continued. " So you think the only reason James would ask me to be his date, when he's had much prettier girls asking to be his partner., is because he's pulling a prank on me?"
Colin fell silent as he looked shamefully at the floor.
"Oh I see. You honestly don't think someone like James would be seriously interested in me to want to ask me out because he can do better?"
Colin's head shot up as her grabbed Penelope's hand in his.
"That's not it! Your mind is utterly brilliant Penelope and any guy who can't see that is an idiot."
Penelope smiled sadly at him.
"Brilliant but not beautiful enough to attract someone's attention," she whispered as Colin stiffened.
"It's not like I haven't heard it before Colin. I've heard it all before. From my mother. From my sisters. From the other kids at Hogwarts. I just never thought you would have considered to be the ugly duckling as well. But you know I wanted just one night, one night where I didn't feel like the ugly duckling for once so I dressed up for myself!" she snapped before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.
"And you know, for once in my life, I actually felt pretty. Maybe I'm not as beautiful as Marina but formonce I actually liked what I saw in the mirror. And then you went on about how ridiculous I look and it made me realize that there's no such thing as an ugly duckling turning into a swan," she laughed sadly as Colin startled, realizing that there were tears filling her eyes.
"That's not what I meant! I told you you are brilliant Pen but it just doesn't make sense for James Potter to ask you to be his date out of the blue a week before the dance when he's turned down everyone else! None of the other the Marauders have dates yet James comes with you out of nowhere. It just doesn't add up," Colin babbled wondering why Penelope couldn't see that he was just looking out for her! He'd been protecting her since first year and he wasn't about to let someone hurt her.
Penelope shot him a glare.
"Colin, I've been tutoring James for the past year and a half. Eloise and I have gone to Hogsmeade with him and the others plenty of times," bristled Penelope as Colin shook his head.
"That can't be right! Your my best friend Pen and I would've definitely noticed-"
"That's because you've been seeing Marina! For Merlin's sake Colin, you barely spent any time around me or your siblings once you two started going out. You always said we'll catch up later but eventually I just gave up because you never followed through. I'm not blaming Marina for this but I think you need to find a better way to balance your priorities. We only started hanging out after Marina and you broke up and even then you only talked about her. I'm fine with listening to you but not once did you ever ask about my life. Do you even know how my classes are going or who I'm hanging out with? "
Colin quickly tried to back peddle.
"Of course I do Pen! You said something last week about having trouble with the mandrakes right?" he asked desperately as Penelope shook her head sadly.
"That was during my first few weeks of Herbology class last year," she whispered before shaking her head. She gently removed Colin's robes and placed them back in his arms before turning and walking away towards the Great Hall.
Colin knew he should go after, beg for her forgiveness or something but he remained frozen in place.
Penelope shot him one last look over her shoulder.
"Just so you know, I've been friends with James since last year. Yes he's a prankster but he's not cruel or malicious Colin. He asked me to go as friends since he knew I wouldn't try and use him like other girls. He's been an amazing friend and to be honest," she let out a shaky breath, "he's been a lot better of a friend than you are. I'm not sure what happened with us but I need some space from you for now."
With those words, she disappeared around the corner perhaps heading back to James or back to the dorms. Colin didn't know how long he stood there until Richard stumbled upon him. carrying a bottle of fire whiskey followed by an amused Will Mondrich and Harry Dankworth.
"Colin mate! I found some fire whiskey and me and the others are heading to the room of requirement for a drink? You in?" asked Fife, wiggling his eyebrows making Colin remember how he'd left his girlfriend back in the Great Hall. As if reading his mind Will answered Colin's unspoken question.
"She headed back to the dorms with Alice. Apparently the food was not agreeing with her," he said as Colin grabbed the bottle and took a swig from it.
"I'm in," he said, hoping to forget about this night as soon as possible.
And forget the fact that he'd probably just ruined his relationship with his best friend permanently.
_____________________________________________________________
Meanwhile
Once she was sure she was far enough away from Colin where he couldn't see her, Penelope hurriedly collapsed by the stairs to the Great Hall, thankful no one was around to her wretched state.
The night had honestly been magical. She'd been unsure about what James would think of her dress (she'd ordered a green one to match Colin's eyes) and had sat nervously as Edwina had finished place the violets James had given her in her hair.
All the nerves faded when James gaped at her as she exited the through the portrait hole, nervously stammering on about how beautiful she looked and she'd had to bite down a laugh at how he was acting like he was asking her to the ball again. But eventually they fell into their usual banter as James proudly escorted her to the Great Hall where the other Marauders greeted them and she'd spent the next few hours in their company, laughing and having a great time.
Surprisingly, James was a very skilled dancer, whisking her around the floor with the occasional dip that made her laugh, pouting like a child when one of his friends (usually Michael) would step in and steal her away.
It was the most fun she'd had in a long time and the evening had been so perfect.
But she was Penelope Featherington, so of course the other shoe was bound to drop at some point.
She just honestly hadn't expected it to come from Colin though.
Penelope knew she wasn't attractive, it would be impossible not to be when your mother was Portia Featherington. She was too short, too curly, too curvy, too pale, too everything. It was only with the Bridgertons and her friends, that she felt even halfway decent about herself.
Why she thought Colin would think any differently was a mystery to her but it still hurt hearing someone she cared about confirm all the things her mother said.
Penelope Featherington would never be good enough, no matter how hard she tried.
And so she sobbed for the friend she lost that night, wishing she had seen the cracks earlier before it had been shattered and cut at her heart.
It must have been only a minute when she heard someone slowly walking over to her. They said nothing as they sat beside her and pulled her into their arms.
"I'm sorry, I've made a whole mess of things," she hiccuped, earning a reassuring squeeze.
"Nah Feathers, you haven't ruined anything. It's not your fault Bridgerton is a prat," huffed James as Penelope pulled away to look up at him. Normally, she would have begun defending Colin but for once she didn't have the words to say to come to his defense.
"How did you-"
"Michael saw him pull you away. Didn't want to intrude but when you didn't come back I decided to check and see if you were okay," he said softly as Penelope sniffled.
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want but can I make a suggestion?" he asked as Penelope nodded against his chest.
"I say we forget about Bridgerton and go back in there to finish the rest of our night because I'll be damned if I let you leave this ball sad when you've been looking forward to it for weeks," said James as Penelope did her best to wipe away her tears.
"You still wanna dance with me after all this?" she questioned, as James helped her to her feet.
"No, I what I really want to do is find Bridgerton and hex him into next year or better yet sick Eloise on him. But I did promise you a good time tonight and I intend to follow through on that promise. So, what do you say Penny? Still willing to chance getting you toes stepped on by me? Seventh times the charm," he said, wiggling his eyebrows as Penelope laughed.
She quickly pulled out her wand from her pocket, muttering a spell that would fix her makeup back to normal (thankful that Daphne had taught the trick to her earlier). Smiling, she tooks James' arm as they headed back into the ballroom, passing by three of Colin's friends who thankfully ignored her.
As promised, the rest of the night was spent dancing and laughing, though she did notice Theo had left as some point leaving Eloise by herself. Her best friend had looked a bit put out until she started chatting with Phillip about something, neither being in the mood to dance apparently.
At last, the ball ended and like a true gentleman, James escorted her back to her dorm, Phillip and Eloise walking ahead of them. Eloise had already gone through the portrait hole leaving just her and James outside the corridor.
"I had a really good time tonight James," she said smiling as he shot her a mischievous grin.
"Well I did promise you a magical evening Miss Featherington and I take my promises very seriously," he teased.
"That you did," she agreed.
She couldn't say why she did what she did next, only that it felt right in the moment, but for whatever reason, she quickly stood on her tiptoes and kissed James on his cheek.
Pulling back, she hid a smile at the shocked look on his face before turning towards the portrait hole.
"Goodnight James," she called over her shoulder as she entered her dorm room where Eloise stood waiting for her, clearly wanting to talk.
It would be year before Penelope kiss James Potter again.
Only this time, she knew exactly why she was kissing him and she was not the first one to make a move.
Ironically it would also take place on Christmas.
______________________________________________________________
I know this is longer than what many of you were expecting but I wanted to show what lead up to the fight and how both of them reacted afterwards.
Penelope will end up dating James (as you can see from the last couple of lines).
If you have anymore questions about this AU, feel free to ask! I have a whole bunch of scenes worked out, including some big events like:
The aftermath of the ball where secrets are revealed and someone is dead
Penelope and Colin reconciling before he leaves to go travel the world for his job (I'm deciding between him being a Magizoologist or Dragonologist)
The Christmas after the ball (AKA Penelope and James first real kiss!)
The REAL big fight between Colin and Penelope that happens the summer after Penelope's sixth year that leads to them not talking for seven years.
The Event (that's it, because more words will spoil what goes down but I'd be happy to give a hint.

You mentionned sedonc gens in another post, are they the kids from the layers? How many are there?
Yes they are and currenty we have 13 of them! The second gens only contains biological children (hence why a LOT of layer kids aren't here) + Eden who is not drawn because he's a bit special
Tumblr media
Cosmos > MCU
Quaesir > GoT
Astred and Arde > GoW
Ase > Vampyr
Kore and Ezra > Story of Seasons
Calliope > Castelvania
Delta > Harry Potter
Berwin > Ace Attorney
Maya and Remi > D Grey man
Meiro > Naruto
Now onto Eden
Tumblr media
He's Dee's little brother, but due to Dee's complicated birth he inherited a part of her layer core/DNA which is what happens when a 2nd gen is born. Because of that Eden has all perks of a second gen; these being:
> An inherant knowledge of Eden (the place), their aunts, uncles and cousins
> An ability to roam the void at will without risk
> The knowledge to not show their omniscience so as to not catch Mother's attention

The Northern Town Percy Jackson Peter Johnson Musical: (another) Appreciation Post
Quick Intro: So I made a previous appreciation post (short and sweet) about the official TLT musical here, a musical I would also greatly recommend to any Percy Jackson fan stumbling on this post who hasn't seen / heard of that musical, but that is not truly relevant to this post. I've decided that in the spirit of appreciating the adaptational musicals more in this era of us finally having a TV show, here's a post dedicated to a musical many of you have probably never heard of...
youtube
Calling all Percy Jackson and musical fans! Calling all Percy Jackson and musical fans!
If you haven't seen them, take this to be a recommendation post appealing you to check out the Northern Town Percy Jackson parodies!
To start on vibes: if you have seen or heard of Starkid's A Very Potter Musical (AVPM), the humour is quite similar I feel but a bit more Gen-Z-esque. This musical has managed to coalesce the entire plot of Percy Jackson and the Olympians into 1.5-2 hours in a way that greatly pays homage to the books and wraps everything up in a cohesive yet bonkers way (very similar to the way AVPM managed to form a cohesive yet bonkers Harry Potter plot combining the elements/events of all 7 books). You can tell from the watch that the people writing an acting in this are Percy Jackson fans, and have read the entire series again looking for ways to reference and and joke about the series in ways that convey their enjoyment of the original series too.
It has different vibes to the official TLT musical, but somehow is just as camp? The 1st version (linked above) is a jukebox musical filmed in essentially a patch of grass with a terrace, including some classic songs: for a start, it opens with I'm Just a Kid by Simple Plan (which is pretty PJO core honestly, and really echoes that "borderline-emo borderline-teenage borderline-angst" I associate with my first readings of Percy Jackson-), and has Poker Face by Lady Gaga in the Lotus Casino scene (I think that alone should be a convincing point). The 2nd version (linked below) is updated with snazzy outfits, 2 videos for the 2 acts and an original score with some banger songs (I would recommend Achilles Heel and Nobody's Sidekick as personal favourites- particularly Achilles Heel, which I believe has some really well done lyricism and composition).
The running jokes in this show are killer, with bits like Percy repeating his age constantly ("I'M TWELVE") and Luke's age increases pretty much every time it's mentioned. If you had to watch 1, I would say watch the 2nd version just so you can appreciate the original score more, which likely reflects theythe emotions are trying to portray much better as the lyrics apply specifically to this production. For instance, there's a song called 'Backbiter' sung by Luke, the title referring to the name of Luke's sword that I find makes a very interesting comparison. You also get better audio and lighting, aspects like that that make it better to watch on youtube, as well as more running jokes. However I'm always one to appreciate the silly 2000s energy of the initial version, and it feels like something you'd do for fun with your friends (which it was for them, according to this article!). If you appreciate that energy too, then here's your recommendation to watch that version right now.
All in all, I cannot stress how fun this musical parody is, even though it seems pretty underrated- at the very least, not many people are out here referencing it on this site. I believe this deserves to be recognised in the Percy Jackson fan consciousness for its ingenuity and just general fun nature. This post probably won't reach a lot of people, but I'd like to think it reaches enough people that more of us can appreciate this adaptation online. I've seen a lot of people say in the lead up to and the release of the TV series: "FINALLY we have a good adaptation". While I am as stoked as everyone else about there being a well-made show as well now, I'd also like to remember and appreciate the adaptations that came before and left a mark on this world as good adaptations of Percy Jackson in a time where the movies were all that most people knew about, and all we thought we'd ever get in way of adaptations. Between the TLT musical and the Northern Town parodies, I believe these musicals gave us the adaptations that the unhinged PJO gang and their just-as-unhinged fan following deserve.

U should do one where the Potaotes (1st and 2nd Gen) get ready to watch a. Movie and Aru the film buff criticize their choice and explain why it a waste of time. Oh and she persuaodng everyone to watch her favorite movie
Aru: MOVIE NIGHT!
*everyone groans*
Aru: What? I thought you guys liked movies!
Aiden: Yeah, but the thing is Shah-
Brynne: We're sick of binging the LOTR movies every week.
Aru: Ok. Raise your hand if you also feel this way.
*everyone raises their hand*
Aru: Abha Shah-charya, put your hand down right now or I'm disowning you!
Abha: Mom, you have to admit that watching a group of people in a fantasy land try to throw a cursed ring in a volcano can only be done a certain number of times before getting old.
Aru: AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WITH A SENSE OF CULTURE?!?
Aiden: Why don't we just make suggestions?
Aru: Ugh, fine. I'll go first. LOTR!
Aiden: Mohabbatein
Aru: Bollywood, really?
Aiden: It's a classic and a piece of art!
Abha: No argument there. But I'd rather watch Zootopia.
Aru: Why am I not surprised that you want to see the one about a detective and a cop?
Priya: Well, if that's too PG for you, how about we watch TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE!
Mini: Priya! You're too young for that much violence!
Priya: Have you forgotten what we do for a living?
Mini: I want to watch something with real culture. How about Devdas!
Aru: Again with the Bollywood? Are all the old people here just gonna start-
Brynne: BODYGUARD
Aiden: Whitney Houston or Salman Khan?
Brynne: YES
Hira: How about a nice family movie like Hum Saath Saath Hain?
Aru: Yeah, ok Grandma.
Krithika: Did somebody say Grandma?
Aru: Mom! What are you doing here?
Krithika: You didn't think I'd miss movie night, did you? I brought a classic.
Aru: Silsila?!? Really?!? Just when I thought the Bollywood couldn't get older. What's next, Shree 420?!?
Suru: Can we watch that one? The moustache man is funny and the black and white doesn't make papa feel left out.
Rudy: Hey, c'mon! I can watch movies just fine! I found this nice French one online. You'll like it, kids. It's about aliens!
Mini: FANTASTIC PLANET?!? Rudy, we can't watch this with the kids, everyone is shirtless!
Rudy: So is everyone in Naga-Loka when we've gone full naga!
Brynne: Newsflash Rudy (heh, flash), none of us are nagas!
Suru: You wanna tell her or should I?
Ghata: Um, if we haven't decided, we could watch Mahabharata!
Priya: Ghata, we are the living Mahabharata, why would we wanna watch them?!?
Ghata: Well it was either that or Hanuman Returns and you already booed that earlier because you didn't think there was an actual prequel.
Priya: There isn't!
Abha: Yes, there is, Priya. There's an older Hanuman movie in the exact art style!
Brynne: I don't care, we're not watching my brother on the big screen. He starts off the second anyone mentions it whenever we visit. His head hasn't been that big since he swallowed the sun.
Valerie: Ugh, you neanderthals are as barbaric as ever.
Priya: Oh look, I don't have to watch a horror movie after all.
Valerie: And clearly this is a rare instance of me watching cartoons
Kara: Valerie, be nice! Hi everyone! Have we picked a film yet?
Aru: Nope, because SOME people have no taste!
Kara: She's mad about LOTR?
Mini: Livid.
Kara: We could just binge a similar fandom you know. Harry Potter?
Aiden: ...That works.
*Everyone agrees*
Sydney: Ok, I just prepared the popcorn! I hear we're going to watch Harry Potter again! I can't wait until we see Mr. Potter kill Voldemort!
*Eveyone groans*
Sydney: What? It came out in 2011! I'd hardly call that a spoiler!

🎆, 👾, 😍
What are you most excited to work on or share in 2023?
Hmmm, well curently I'm working on finishing up a few so I've got less ongoing and can update the ones I have more (working on my phd disertation currently so it's sucking up my time sadly). That said! The new fics I'm really, really, really excited to start posting once I can are the Hearts Civil War fic, a new chapter in Flash Facts of Bart Allen, and a modern day JamesBond!AU Dr. Stone fic I'm working on. All of them have some amount of work done on them so I really am just waiting to get done with some more of my ongoing fics.
Ruh roh. Your FBI agent just took a peek at your internet search history. What kinds of things will they find?
Way too much medical research (for Hanahaki fic), questions about fungicide (for Weirdness with Witches), and the wiki pages for Harry Potter and DC. Just looked at my history and I've got: PTSD symptoms, synonyms for "out of your league", and how to spell demurred....which has to be the most fanfic writer history ever.
What’s one of your favorite lines or exchanges you wrote this year?
Prologue of Department of Mysteries and 2nd chapter ending for In Spite of Ourselves. But some of the conversations I'm most excited about in this coming year is some Bokuaka scenes, scenes with Hinata and Oikawa, a scene with Gen and Magma, and Dick Grayson talking with Jay Garrick :)

Fic Rec Friday!
Though tagged as Percy/Alicia, this delightful drabble is more of a pre-Percelicia fic with an entertaining focus on Alicia’s friendship with Angelina and Katie. :D After all, who else knows you best, esp when you pipe up that perhaps the Weasley twins are getting a little carried away with their pranks? XD So of course Angelina and Katie have to get to the bottom of Alicia’s new tune... Bursting with friendship feels for the Gryffindor Quidditch witch trio, this drabble will surely put a smile on your face, so give it a read and leave a kind word in a review when it does~ -w-
Follow for more stories and recs with the minor characters!

Time Travel Mishap
4 children of impure birth barely a decade old disappears, 4 teenagers who could past as their older siblings were sighted, each bearing symbols of 4 of the Leaders of your society, wielding powerful forbidden magic. What would you do?
This is based in a much stricter hidden magical society than the original one in the Chronicles of the Gods, along with a medieval ‘mundane’ society (lack of progress due to magicals' subtle influence). The 4 from the Root Universe miscalculated & end up in the past of an alternate universe instead of their own past, in the process taking over their counterparts' existence.
The AU's magical society, the Magic Council, is a mixture of Magical Britain from Harry Potter & Mage's Association of Nasuverse. Blood Purity is very important. Muggles & Mudbloods are easy pickings for curious Purebloods to experiment on. Muggle hunting is a popular sport among Purebloods. 'Light' magic, as dictated by the Council, is the only legal magic. That kind of stuff.
Their Leaders are selected based on the strongest of the magicals in at least one aspect of magic (& is a Pureblood). Each Leader wears an ancient gem created of either Air, Fire, Water or Earth elemental magic to symbolize their positions.
An 8 years-old orphan from a 2nd gen magical family that held powerful magic. Her family killed, herself snatched from the cooling arms of her older brother barely a month ago. A promising specimen, her disappearance caused quite a stir in the Clan that 'found' her.
Sakura Yoshiko, amateur Witch of Wishes. She is bonded to a Phoenix, Chiruru. She raised an Oriental Dragon, Zinato who has 10 different personalities (he can also duplicate himself~). She tends to act like a bipolar child, cheerful one second & serious the next. It messes with people's perception of her, greatly confusing them. She is the magically strongest among the quartet, & would have been the epitome of Light... if it wasn't for her mischievous & destructive nature. Let's just say even her siblings hold a mediocrity of pity for the victims, while damage control is usually decided via coin toss among her siblings. Her necklace bears the Gem of Air.
A 9 years-old Asian street rat with fire-red hair, abandoned by his closest kin, found & raised a group of street kids who became his family. Disappeared just before a Magical hunting party found him, the last surviving member of the town he lived in for the last 6 years.
Syaron, he who wields the most destructive of the elements. He is bonded to an albino Tiger, who has grown into a powerful Electric Elemental. He has raised a Kirin, one who also grew into a powerful Fire Elemental. Elemental magic is his forte, along with his martial arts training, he is a formidable foe at any range. He is usually the peace keeper of the quartet. Even though by the Council's standards he is Light-aligned, he takes a dim view on the Light & Dark boundary, partly due to 2 of his siblings being Dark-aligned themselves (heck the expression in the drawing, he loves breaking people's world views). His earring bears the Gem of Fire. 
A 9 years-old child, one of the many test subjects of a twisted Pureblood. Extensive trauma caused her hair to turn completely white. Her disappearance was only noticed when his servants did a routine check-up on his dear 'children'.
Rinko, who would have been classified as a Blue Mage in another world. She is bonded to a Drake, Yomi. She created a cyber elf, Chu & raised a twin-soul Phoenix, who due to the malleability of their souls, can merge with Yomi to take a hybrid form. The spellweaver of the siblings, she compensates for her lower magical reserve with her ability to copy & adapt magic, the jack-of-all-trades of the quartet. Due to her 'traumatic past', strangers are at risk of getting blasted away or worse (think flying limbs) if they get too close to her, hence her preference to long range magic. Her charm bears the Gem of Water.
A 10 years-old boy, bastard child of a prestigious Pureblood Clan, born from the union of a mudblood & the Pureblood heir. His disappearance was largely ignored, even celebrated by his 'family'.
Yukido, Master Craftsman of multiple arts. He has a mechanical turtle as a familiar (it can fly!). Usually acts cheerful to the point of being seen as naive (but then, isn't acting considered an art too?). He is the physically strongest among the quartet, along being deadly skilled with every weapon he's gotten his hands on. So long as he has enough resources, he can create as many weapons as he needs (challenging him, while on a solid surface, is just asking for trouble). Being the oldest, he takes the wellbeing of his younger siblings seriously. His ring bears the Gem of Earth.
The 4 from the Root Universe are old. Very old. As in millennia old. At least that's what they say if you ask.
