The businessman took a final drag from his cigarette and exhaled off to the side. ❝ Most witches are adept at curses. That's sort of their thing. ❞ no real attempt to correct the man, just another dash of his trademark humor and dazzling personality.

It made sense the creature stayed well enough away from what had put him through the ringer so. Clark would have liked to say he ran on enough spite that he'd have never rested until it was both he and his tormentor in the ground but...he was young and the cambion knew this. Time was cruel and even the strongest of wills and most petty of bastards bended a knee to it. He would not fault Matija for perhaps trying to find some speck of peace or rest where he could.

❝ She can find me as interesting as she wants. ❞ he lifts his expensive shoe and grinds the butt of the cigarette onto its bottom until it's been snuffed out. ❝ But a witch who would be foolish enough to attempt a torment a demon is hardly a witch very interesting to me. ❞

He produces a tissue from his breast pocket to wrap the spent cigarette in so he needn't hold it in his bare palm. ❝ Close your ears to this then if you don't want to know: demons and witches work well together and do a great deal for one another. It's perhaps one of creations oldest examples of mutualism in the supernatural world. Very rarely though is it worth it to either party to be hostile to one another. Should your witch confront me in such a manner, I imagine it would be with the intention to vex you. ❞

He turned then to the man, his free hand resting upon his hip. ❝ In which case I then will have been vexed because we've hardly developed any sort of relationship to warrant me being dragged into your bullshit. I enjoy your company, Matija, make no mistake. But we are friendly acquaintances, not star-crossed lovers. Your witch can torment you just find without trying to drag me in as well. ❞

He eyes the man for some long beats, sized him up as he turned and began to make his way back inside. ❝ Then either you hide it well or I'm far less civilized a beast than I like to think myself to be. ❞

“I DON’T KNOW how specialized she is or isn’t. All I know is she’s adept at curses and enjoys inflicting them on others.” He falls quiet again. Clark’s getting a lot out of him - certainly, he’s admitted more to him in the past few minutes than he ever did to even Mirela. Clark is afforded a certain level of confidence because he too is an aberration, he supposes; out of everyone, he’s the most likely to come close to really getting it.

HE FINISHES HIS cigarette as Clark speaks, tossing it down to crush it under the toe of his thick-soled boot. His pack is back in his hands and he’s lighting another one - a bad habit, probably, to chain-smoke like this, but for what it’s worth the nicotine does soothe his nerves at least a bit. He needs something to do, anyways, lest he get destructive with all this talk of witches.

“I DON’T DEAL with witches anymore,” is his eventual response, tone flat and heavy, like a slab of concrete one might find on a sidewalk. “I know nothing of magic and I intend to keep it that way. It would serve you well to avoid my vjestiča, should she arrive, and I believe she will at some point. I think she would find you interesting, or at least my connection to you interesting. No matter what she offers, refuse. You’re the kind of thing she’d love to torment.”

THERE’S A BITTERNESS on his tongue that his cigarette can’t sate, and so he holds it, peering at it like it’s a thing worth inspecting. The muscle in his jaw tightens - loosens again when Clark compliments his ability to stay sane despite it all. It’s enough to get the corner of his mouth upturned in a smile: somewhat melancholic, perhaps, but a smile nonetheless.

“WHO’S TO SAY I’m not a raving, feral beast, hm?”

hp update: its been a long time, boys. ud think that with this plague outbreak id have more time for shitty phone games, and ud be right! however, the time i normally might use to make tumblr posts has been taken up by reading lotr orc fanfiction non-stop for at least 1 full month. id still be in the thick of that obsession even now if only the fics would update. that is how i find you today folks, for the first time in many weeks i am staring at a screen with nothing to do. so come with me friends, theres no better way to fill the soulless void we are all in than reading a nice long tumbler post. 

disclaimer, first of all, a lot has happened, i prefer to keep these updates as plot spoiler free as possible but do to extenuating circumstances i feel like it is necessary to say, [SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER BELOW]

that rowan fucking died,

i wont say exactly how, but i will say that her death was animated as were animations of myself and a few others reacting to our friend fresh corpse. obviously meant to be serious moments but the animations made it seem almost comical. 

i saw at least one post going around right after this update that was like ‘how could the game devs do this to us..... how could they hate rowan so.... this is punishment from on high’ and its like.... u guys do know what a story is right? the events of  a story are not typically done to punish less faithful fans, im pretty sure they were planning to kill rowan off from the beginning. this isnt disney im pretty sure the writers are not writing each chapter the night before its released by popular vote. 

that little “are we drifting away..?” scene with rowan makes more sense now. there was a bit in one of the scenes where the kids all reminisce on rowans life and the mc talks about it being the last real one on one time they had with rowan. a nice bitter sweet moment. i dont hate this turn of events. its a good reminder that actions have consequences and we are way past they days of “should i wear a hat or scarf?” its YA time now. 

i did manage to take 1 screenshot from this time, i had commented that before that when rowan said she didnt have many friedns that barnaby seemed to be hanging out with her without be there as a friend buffer and here was his reaction to her death:

;_;

the funniest part in all of this however, was of course cedericks reaction to rowans death “but she was so young....” LOL fuckin RIP.

lets see... what else.... i forget a lot of what happened but i think there was a time sensitive quidditch event in there somewhere? if so i  dont remember it. what i do remember of the quidditch pals is that im gonna play beater now, skye is being weird and cagey about it, andre is involved.... the others are there.....

sidenote, i love the shitty b characters they throw in to be like yes you know this person but no they are not cool enough for u to even think about befriending. the first one of those is face paint kid, and now we have another, who is a former beater girl with horrible bangs named bean who didnt go to any classes for a whole season so she could just play ball 24/7 and got kicked off the team.  this is a character who only exists to provide an explanation as to why there would be a beater position open but i love them on principle. 

right now im in the midst of another time sensitive event, this one is a bother-your-brother-at-work-day event where recent hogwarts graduate bill weasley is bullied by myself and his younger brother charlie into letting us go with him on one of his curse breaking jobs. 

so for those unfamiliar, bill works for the magical bank of england.... and his job seems to be “retrieving treasure” for said bank. in the books, there is a bit where he takes his family on one of his trips to egypt, where his job seemed to have been tomb plundering indiana jones style for the posterity of the english bank :X. i wont explain here why thats bad but its bad. 

the game devs however in this instance, at least SEEM to be doing what jkr couldnt do by attempting to salvage what is left of gringotts bank and form it into not a super shitty implications factory run by horrible jewish caricatures. bills mission is to retrieve a goblin made artifact that was taken by dragons, so no going to foreign countries to steal things from other people! only going to a dragon reserve to rifle through animal nests. they even appear to be providing us with a likable goblin character, egad!  

my hope for this event is that we get a plotline about how maybe, goblins arent shifty human haters for no reason, and in fact they hate magic humans for very understandable reasons, like being forced to go into hiding with the rest of the magical world even though only the humans wanted to do that, and maybe despite running the bank in england they still dont have a lot of political sway in the world of wizards and witches, and have to rely on the faith that said wizards and witches wont fuck them over at every turn, even as they see how they treat other non-humans, such as house elves, which they desperately dont want to end up like. and maybe they DONT only care about gold... maybe thats a human stereotype based on the fact that theres a long history of humans not respecting goblin ownership customs.... which i could get into..... but i wont.... i just....... very badly dont want them to suck ;__________;

i know i said its ok to still like a piece of media as long as you recognize the problems with it, and i do, but once this game is done im gonna stop hp posting all together. ive been feeling more and more uncomfortable making these posts lately.  

GENERAL GAME NOTES; theres been some new layout changes and such. 

most notably the stairs screen has been changed from a bulleted list of all locations to a screen with tiles picturing an image of each location along with the name + icons of all classes at each place. there is one additional location that is new and yet to be unlocked, and the dragon reservation is appearing temporarily as its own tile as well. i prefer this method of getting in and out of a temporary location to how they did it with car during the last christmas special. the stairs icon also now stays in the corner when you scroll through locations, allowing you to open the stairs menu without scrolling all the way back to the left. 

they also moved a few of the buttons down into the lower left corner rather than the left side & combined the story button and sidequest button. they added a little camera button as well, just like in the dormitory, that makes all the icons in a location disappear and look better for screenshots. 

the daily special add offer thing now has its own button in the top right corner of the screen, and idk if i mentioned it before but now there are daily challenges that appear in the sidequest screen that offer small rewards for completing 3 tasks per day + a better one if u get all 3. the prizes are things like 4 energy, 75 coins, 3 monster food. the better rewards are usually either more coins, 8 energy, 3 gems, or 1 notebook. i think that it does all the different color notebooks but i cant remember for sure if i ever saw the gold one up as a reward. i like this addition in any case. if you dont pick up ur reward by the end of the day, the next time u log on it will force u to stop and accept them, and if one of the rewards is energy and ur energy bar is full, it does not seem to stack beyond the bar so watch out.

 the character stats page is now more zoomed out so you can see your full character instead of just from the waist up. no change to the leaderboard. rowans face in the friendship roster is now a still black and white image that says ur friend may be gone but friendship is forever u-u. 

rowan has been removed from all classes. in the classes where the minigames involved her, those minigames have passed the mantle onto other friends in the class. in potions that person is now liz helping u find stuff off the shelves and in tranfiguration that person is badeea. bless these girls for helping mc get through it. touched my heart. 

theres been a few fun little “i know u have more free time now so uhhhh have some energy” prizes like they do sometimes when they dont update on schedule so thats been nice. just a few days ago they gifted us 3 gold notebooks the same way. :O. 

theres also been a few instances of a energy happy hour where for a limited time energy takes less time to refresh. normally it takes 4 mins for 1 energy to do this but during happy hour its like 2:30 mins. :U its all very interesting.

and that will have to do it for tonight my friends, ill do a post for the dragon event when its done because i do like it so far and i do like getting to bully bill with charlie. 

until next time, remember.......
