So the Fawleys were there at the founding of R? Is this their new backstory or have you reworked it?

I tried to keep it vague on what Hamish Fawley's descendants were actually called, so anyone can incorporate any part of this into their headcanons if they theoretically wanted to. If the writers ever see the light and #HireMeJamCity, (bringin' back all the old favorites tonight) to have me write The Cabal's backstory, I can make the "Hogwarts" representative be a Fawley since they're a canon family and can be Jacob's ancestors no matter what his name is - much like how Draco has ancestry in the Black family but is a Malfoy.

But that being said, yeah. The backstory for the Fawley family, at least for right now, is that they began with a muggle fowler who killed the prized swan of a higher lord or king, (this being feudal times.) The Fowler was forced to eat black flower petals as his sentence, supplied by the Court Wizard. This cursed him, and his bloodline, creating the "Mark of Despair" that most Fawleys are born with. From that point on, they were a wizarding family, with all of the Fowlers children having magic.

The Fowler is obviously the ancestor of Luca, Gail, and Jacob. But the Court Wizard who cast the spell on the black rose flowers is...drummroll please...the ancestor of the Snyde family. Yeah. It would take someone from the Court Wizard's bloodline to break the spell, since he used his own blood to invent it. Only Merula can remove the Mark of Despair. Only she can break The Fawley Curse. (This was totally inspired by the book Holes if anyone has read it.)

For an extra credit bit of fun...I like to imagine that the Lord/King who prized the swan was Tulip's ancestor. The Trouble Trio was destiny! But in all reality that might just be too much, especially since Tulip's ancestors would have been in Japan, most likely. Though I suppose race can change from generation to generation. In my mind, the Fawley kids have the "Shafiq" look. They're biracial and take after Farah. But on the Fawley side...they probably have been in the U.K. this whole time as they would have been instrumental in guarding Hogwarts, the Sunken Vault, and the British Branch of R.

As for the Fawley Curse, or it's proper name, The Invigorium Curse...it has several effects. It's essentially a surplus of magical power which does sound like a benefit but it can't necessarily be harnessed and it comes with unpredictable side effects. Of course, that's when it's applied to a person with magic. In theory, you could concentrate this spell into a form where it could be passed onto a muggle, and...what then? What happens to the muggle? If all goes according to plan, they become an artificial wizard, and successfully making this happen is one of R's many goals.

That scene at the end of year five after mc is kidnapped by “moody” and Rowan is shown waiting for them stuck with me because it was the first and so far only scene where the mc was absent... at least until they walk back in and refuse to tell their best friend about what happened. Before I go off on a tangent, I will say that I wish there were more scenes of characters interacting without mc. Maybe it could work like a memory feature.

That scene gives me many, many emotions. First of all, I really like the whole idea of MC getting abducted by an Auror from the Three Broomsticks because it’s just another parallel to Jacob but it’s one you might not immediately notice. They use Moody so the player feels at ease but honestly MC has no reason to trust this unknown, scary figure. I think that was when the seeds of doubt were planted for me, but I couldn’t place my finger on it just yet. In any case, I really love that it was Rowan, of course it was Rowan, who waited up for MC. I want to see more of that. It’s too late in the main story, but in the side-quests and TLSQs Jam City! We want! To! See it! Rowan’s loyalty to MC is beautiful. 

Which is why it is such a punch in the gut, an insult, really, to see MC return with no explanation, offer nothing to Rowan who was clearly worried for them, and simply insist that they’ve been sworn to secrecy. Does it make for a good cliffhanger? Sure. But it’s moments like these that really hammer the whole “MC and Rowan are distant” idea into my head more than I would like. Luca would never keep the truth from Rowan and it’s honestly a bit of a bleak idea that MC doesn’t have any friends they would tell the truth to at once. Gail would tell Ben. Again, why would MC not tell anyone? Because they swore? Why would they swear that oath in the first place? Unless Moody implied that he wouldn’t take them back to Hogsmeade until they did...in which case, why are you trusting this stranger, to the point that you’re honoring vows to keep information he told you private? I just can’t even. 

But however little it may have been, I do like the whole idea that MC doesn’t need to be onscreen. I think there’s a whole goldmine worth of potential in writing TLSQs that not only star other characters but are told from their point of view. The show “Doctor Who” occasionally has what the fans call “Doctor Lite” episodes, where The Doctor hardly appears at all. Why can’t HPHM do this? I also really love your idea of it being an expansion to the nostalgia feature. Hell, imagine if we got specific memories from certain characters as rewards for getting close to them? All of those little head-canons we came up with could come out on the big screen. Jam City, you are sitting on great potential here. #HireUsPlease!

So I guess Jae is supposed to be 16 during Portrait Panic then. I mean I guess maybe it could be his 17th birthday if you’re in year 6 and 18th birthday if you’re in year 7 when you play it though. But the quest takes place in year 5 so 16 seems to be what the writers had in mind. I don’t get why they keep dropping TLSQs in year 5, I’ve lost count of how many I’ve had to do that year. Year 6 only has 3 TLSQs even though it’s already over and has 12 more chapters which is super weird

I sort of doubt the actual age is going to matter, and it likely won't be referenced. Which is totally possible, I mean, they got away without ever expressing what age Hagrid was turning in the TLSQ about his birthday. The only thing is that culturally speaking, a wizard turning seventeen is a bigger deal than them turning sixteen or eighteen. The quest will simply have to ignore that though, or not cover it, because of the nature of TLSQs and their ability to drop in multiple years. Shame, it means we aren't likely to see a depiction of those kickass wristwatches that wizards get when they come of age. (Holy hell do I want one of those, I always have.)

Yeah, they really are stuffing the hell out of Year 5 with how many quests it has now. I sort of get what they're doing, I guess. Year 5 has a big jump in how long it is, compared to Year 4. Year 6 has a pretty big jump as well in length, but the developers will always choose to drop a quest earlier if they possibly can, to make it available for as many players as possible. It's a very weird system. Jam City, listen up. I have the solution for you. Just remove the feature of TLSQs dropping altogether. No, seriously. You have the journal now. That's your solution. Just have new TLSQs be unlocked as the player progresses and available to play from the journal's menu. Let the player pick and choose when they play which quests. (In which case, you should probably remove or drastically lower the pages cost, but I guarantee you no one will mind your doing so.) It's dead simple, Jam City. This is why you should hire me.

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

I had an idea a while back after playing the beauxbatons side quest. Aurelie is Penny’s penpal, so my idea was if there was a side quest for the mc to find their own pen pal. There could be different options to choose from (with maybe Alanza as an option) and the quest would be available in either year one or two. Players who picked Alanza would get a mention of it in the main storyline. In order to level up the friendship, players could pick a letter to send to the penpal.

This could be a great concept! Seriously. I suppose there aren’t that many schools that we really know anything about, but hold on, let’s see for a second...Castelobruxo, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, Ilvermorny...that’s at least four. If there were four different options, that could be pretty cool. You could learn details about your pen pal’s school, meet them face to face in a TLSQ. You could talk about yourselves and each other in the letters. Actually, I quite like everything you said about this. Aurelie could likewise be MC’s pen-pal or they could invent a new character, but I prefer the idea of it being Aurelie and, as you level her up, she talks about Penny now and then. Making it clear that they’re still friends and she hasn’t totally abandoned Penny like she seems prone to doing. Either way, this is such a great concept and Jam City, I hope that you are listening. That you hire this anon. Because this could be such a fun addition and it wouldn’t disrupt anything at all. Hell, come to think of it, Alanza being Bill’s infamous pen-pal from Castelobruxo was a theory that was debunked...but so long as this quest happens in say, Year 2, that could be a plot point there!

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

I guess I don’t mind that the characters aren’t constantly maturing as they grow up even though it would be realistic & definitely ideal. But none save from a few exceptions of them are that immature anyway so I guess I can deal with it. It’s a shame that some characters like Barnaby are getting the short end of the stick though. Acting how you did at 13-14 when you’re 17-18 really isn’t cute imo. Maybe if he was a really mature 3rd year & retained that personality I wouldn’t care as much but he wasn’t. Even when he WAS 13-14 he was still super childish. It wasn’t as big of a problem then since he WAS a child but now it’s slightly more worrying.

Barnaby is a character of duality for me. (Take a drink every time I’ve used that word, am I right?) In that on some levels, I think you’re right about him being an extreme example of this, but in others I think he actually fulfils the hypothetical. Barnaby is conventionally stupid about basic, everyday things and it’s often played for comedy. But while he won’t be winning any awards for intelligence...his emotional maturity and his wisdom can really be commended. Even moments like him being able to interpret for Merula when she was a flobberworm. Or when he completely took charge of the situation when Rowan was imperius’d, and incapacitated them, without harming them and also making sure they didn’t hurt anyone else. Like, this character can really rise to the occasion and I would love to see that side of him explored further. Hell, I’d love to see Penny’s tendency toward mania further explored. What about the self-loathing insecurity that Tulip hides on a regular basis? Don’t get me started on Tonks, I have a whole bucket of headcanons about her psyche. I’m just saying, that if Jam City is listening, I hope they’re taking something away from this. (#HireMeJamCityYouKnowYouWantTo.)

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

i wonder what jc will do after they complete the main story & the quidditch sidequest. they can’t just stop releasing content altogether cos not everyone will have finished the story at the same time. maybe they’ll still release side quests & tlsqs? might be weird for year 7 players who’ve graduated in the main story if they all take place at school tho. the company talked about the game continuing on for at least another 2 irl years so they must have some idea (unless year 7 chapters are supposed to be released in the span of those 2 years, idk in that case)

...I have an idea for that. New Game Plus. 

If you aren’t familiar with the idea, it’s a feature some games have where you can restart your save file, and unlock new bonuses that are only available after you’ve beaten the game at least once. For Hogwarts Mystery, it could be new customization options. Just imagine if all of the exclusive rewards were put on the market for gems. How wonderful would that be? They could even make energy infinite. (Haha, never gonna happen, but I can dream, right?) Additionally, New Game Plus typically doesn’t force you to start from scratch. Most of the time, you can carry over a degree of what you had from your previous end-game. Items, stats, etc. In this case, it could be stuff like purchased pets, friendship levels, attribute stats, etc. This feature, I’ve noticed, happens most frequently in games that offer a lot of dialogue choices. Games with multiple endings. (Which HPHM could wind up having, for all we know) It works really well for this game because you could play an entirely new character. Select a different House, choose different dialogue choices, romance a new character. Bring different friends to the Vaults. The possibilities are endless. Perhaps, and I’m completely going off the rails at this point, if you finish a second file, you could unlock an exclusive scene where you meet your original protagonist. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more they could do. Suppose there was a whole new set of TLSQs unlocked upon reaching New Game Plus? Maybe some that even reference your old file, or hint at this being a separate timeline? Now that would be a way of using alternate timelines that I actually would not mind. 

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

why were some people expecting to meet Rowan’s brother this year though? i mean nothing in the previous years hinted he’d be attending while we’re at school too. besides he might even be older than Rowan and graduated already or something. it would’ve been cool to meet him though, hopefully we will even if it’s not as a Hogwarts student

I can’t speak for everyone else but I personally was expecting to meet Rowan’s brother because it seemed like such an obvious plot idea that the writers could totally do, a potential storyline that had loads they could do with it. This being Year 7, it was the last chance we had to meet him. And considering that Rowan died last year, and MC formed an entire “cabal” to ensure that they got justice...well, if I was on the writing team, (Which I’m not, but I could be, #HireMeJamCity) I know I would suggest bringing him on and writing a subplot about it. Plus, I have no doubt that we’re going to be meeting younger characters again. Even if Rowan’s brother does not appear, I remain convinced that Cho Chang will - simply because she’s a first year, she’s canon, she has a film actress they could base her sprite on...and MC already knows Cedric. With how much they like their fanservice, are they really going to miss the chance to depict Cedric and Cho meeting for the first time? Seems unlikely. And if Cho is going to appear, it would be that much easier to feature Rowan’s brother. Finally, there’s this little scrap of information.  Hardly counts as “canon” but there was a boy named “Khanna” at school during Harry’s third year. That timeline checks out. 

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

Penpal anon- in an earlier ask you mentioned floo powder calls and that gave me the idea for there to be cutscenes focused on the different penpals at their schools. For Alanza, it could show her interacting with Rakepick bc I wanna know what Rakepick is like when she’s away from the mc. For Aurelie, her interacting with her brother or her practicing alchemy. All four noticing strange occurrences at their schools since r is an international organization.

I’m living for this whole concept. There is seriously a goldmine of potential to be found in ideas like these, that all come back to one central idea, if Jam City was willing to implement it: Scenes that do not include MC. The game has always followed their perspective and on the rare occasion a conversation did not include them at all, they would always be listening in. For the most part, this was also true in the books, with Harry...but later on, we got scenes like Snape swearing the Unbreakable Vow. And that was a damn important scene. We’re into Year 7 now, so I think the game could benefit from something like this.

Though that said, I think I can guess why they don’t ever do this. Hogwarts Mystery is...well, it’s right there in the name. This story focuses on the mystery aspect more than the books did, and they don’t want to ruin the whole investigation concept by having information become available without the MC learning it. Maybe, that’s just a guess. Kind of like how Whodunits don’t reveal the identity of the murderer until the protagonist/detective works it out. 

But the great thing about HPHM is that it has a vast and expansive subplot system. They have side-quests about creatures, about quidditch, about clubs...the entire TLSQ system allows them to tell any story they want at any time during the game’s duration. Why couldn’t we have a TLSQ that focused on other characters? It would be all too easy, just mention in the opening teaser that the story will follow another character while MC is “away” for whatever reason. It could be done! And it would be, at the very least, a fun experiment. You listening, Jam City? 

I’m all over the place, but the bottom line is that I love your idea. I want to see the other school campuses. I want to hear about the signs, the whispers and shadows of R in other countries. We learn in Year 6 that they’re a worldwide organization, but we don’t ever feel that sense of scale...and how could we? The story takes place in just Britain. Hell, I’m really wondering about that. I don’t think there’s any way for MC to feasibly defeat R by the end of Year 7. Maybe they’ll defeat the British branch, but there’s no way the entire organization goes down...

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

yh when i first found out that gwenog was coming i assumed it’d be for a quidditch tlsq but apparently i was wrong. i thought she’d help orion out a bit since she was the captain of the holyhead harpies so she could maybe inspire him or something, but i don’t think we’ll meet her then. i mean she’s only 5 years older than mc at most, so she’d be 19 or 20 in s3. i’m not really sure if she’d be captain that young tbh. she probably hasn’t even been playing professionally for very long at that point either, considering she’d only have left school like 2 years ago at that point unless she left early or something.

Oh yeah that’s the thing, she probably isn’t the Captain yet, she’s just a new recruit for the team. So that provides an interesting counterbalance and it does leave room for her character to grow. Now full disclosure, I haven’t actually read the data-mines for this quest and my knowledge extends to what people have told me over anon. So I may be entirely off and this might already be confirmed not to happen, but I feel like there’s a great opportunity here to tell a standalone story about this background canon character. There’s potential for growth here. We know from the books that she eventually becomes the Captain of her team. Introduce her at the start of the quest as this total screw-up who isn’t taking anything seriously and just enjoying the perks of being a celebrity. To the point where she’d pull stunts like cursing a bludger in a Hogwarts club room. Yet, over the course of the story, she takes responsibility for her actions. She learns humility. She squares everyone up and shows the seeds of a true leader. The beginning of her journey toward captaincy. Come on, tell me that wouldn’t be cool!

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

We’re finally gonna get better hijabs too! They’re recolours of Badeea’s one in the festival quest and they look much better than the first and only one we’ve got so far.

I really like where the game is going right now, at least in terms of incoming content and mechanical changes. They’re listening to their fans, and the future looks bright from where I’m standing. 😊 Jam City, if you’re listening, keep up the good work! Oh, and also, #HireMeAlready. #AlsoHireMissNightOwlandAkemiStormborn #They’reReallyGoodAtThisStuff. 

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

Seeing how fast they've been pushing out TLSQs lately & the Quibbler TLSQ is the only one in line so far, I wouldn't be surprised if we got it sooner rather than later. Idk what I'd prefer tbh, cause if comes out before we befriend Ismelda, at least we could have that OOCness out of the way & they could try & remedy it by giving her redeeming qualities in her friendship quest/chapter. Also it'd make less sense for Ismelda to suddenly turn around & act like that if she's supposed to be our friend. But also if we DO get that quest before we befriend her then it might make people less keen on getting her as a friend because of the way she is in it. I mean a few other anons are saying stuff like that already so idk what's the best solution :/

I can sort of envision Ismelda doubling back and intentionally starting to act cruel and messed up once again, like a regression. I can envision the other characters noticing it, complete with MC doing that whole “scratch the chin” expression where the characters point out that Ismelda hasn’t acted like this since like, Year 4. That she’s been loads better. Maybe give MC a dialogue choice to guess why she’s doing this - where they can guess that she was always a jerk, that she decided to go back to being one out of selfishness, or guess - correctly - that she doesn’t really mean it and is hurting. Echoing exactly what she told them happens to her in the “Crushed” quest. Like, I agree with you that Ismelda wouldn’t just start acting friendly in her befriending quest. She’s grown a lot but it would be an uphill battle. And similar to the way Talbott and Chiara got closer to MC and then pulled back, I have little doubt that Ismelda wouldn’t do the same. Perhaps she wouldn’t, perhaps that isn’t the route they would go with her quest. But it would make so much sense for her. 

Either MC could deduce that she’s pulling back and reverting to old habits out of pain and insecurity...or, more likely considering that it’s MC, someone like Dumbledore will need to point it out to them. Cue MC talking to Ismelda and though she rebuffs them, she eventually admits that she’s acting this way because she doesn’t want to get too close. And the quest’s goal will be showing Ismelda that she doesn’t have to fear opening up and getting close to people, but it will be an entirely new experience for her. It’s a plot I can see working because however unpleasant she’s been in the past, Ismelda isn’t prideful. That’s the difference between her and Merula, and why the methods of befriending them are probably going to be quite different themselves. 

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

When talking to Ben and Merula, honestly, for a brief moment, I thought that was gonna be MC’s meltdown moment. But, not yet. I’m really anticipating for it to happen. Like, either yelling “THAT’S ENOUGH!” or even taking a swing at somebody. There was that dialogue option to say they want to punch something... And I was surprised that MC didn’t call Ben out for what he did to Cedric. At least Merula actually told him to stop making Rowan’s death all about him.

I’m still expecting that MC’s breakdown will either be in front of the entire circle, in front of Jacob, or maybe even in front of the whole school. With how much they’re putting it off, it can only be something huge. If it was just around Ben and Merula...I dunno, I feel like it would have happened by now. That it would have, like you said, been in this chapter. But no, this is going to be dramatic. This is going to lead to people seeing MC differently after they have their breakdown. They’re going to say some things that they cannot take back. (Hopefully with a dialogue choice in there somewhere. Maybe for what we say, who we lash out at.) 

Alternatively, if Jacob is present...I could see MC’s breakdown being the moment that he reveals some long-hidden truth to MC. Or if MC lashed out at Jacob for how horrible he’s been since the Portrait Vault, this could be the point that the game lets us have a genuine duel with him. This could be the point in MC’s character arc where they let Jacob go, emotionally. After all, if he’s going to try and stop them from pursuing the Final Vault, then he’s just another obstacle. Hey, remember when Rakepick implied that MC was after the Vaults for more than just rescuing Jacob? What if that, in a twisted way, ended up becoming true? #HireMeJamCity

Okay I’m getting way off topic, but yeah, I want to see MC have a breakdown. I don’t think they would actually punch anyone though - more likely that they’d just use Flipendo, since that would be more in line with Wizarding culture. (Plus, y’know, it’s an animation that they already have programmed in, so it would be less work, right?) 

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

I’d hate it so much if Skye became a captain if she’d still act like she does now. I hope they let someone else have a go if they bring new characters in. I’d rather Skye not be a captain at all tbh, because she’s being way too centred in this side story. Almost everything major that happens is usually about her, or because of her. I know she’s a main character, but it’s getting so boring now imo. Other characters should have a turn of being in the spotlight and being more significant too.

I like to think and hope that if Jam City does present a story-line about Skye succeeding Orion, it will be well into the future when she’s had more time to develop her character and mature...and have actually done so. Because it’s still a ways away, I’ll give the writers that chance. 

Of course, what’s most likely going to happen is that Orion will want MC to be his successor, since the game wants to give the player every opportunity one could possibly have at Hogwarts. Not that Skye wouldn’t shoot her shot, though. I can foresee her competitive nature kicking in and her demanding some kind of face-off for the spot. Possibly in a TLSQ. She and MC would compete for the Captain spot. (We’re totally ignoring that the Head of House just chooses a new Captain over the summer and notifies them, but hey, that’s what is supposed to happen with Prefects too. So it’s not like there’s no precedent.)

Actually, what I would love to happen is that the game lets you ultimately decide if your MC wants the Captain spot or if Skye should have it. Similar to how you can join the Frog Choir or give your place to Merula. Meaning it can be entirely down to the Player to decide if Skye has proven herself and grown enough to be ready for the position of Captain. If you’re like me and you adore Orion, your MC will want to make him proud and carry on his legacy...but if your MC is anything like mine, they’ll gladly step aside for their friend so she can take the top spot....oh who am I kidding, no one is actually going to do that because everyone hates Skye 😭

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

Imagine how awkward it’d be if Beatrice confronted Chiara about her relationship with Jae 😂🤣🤣

Oh goodness. I’ve had thoughts about that. If she does start to fancy Jae, and they do decide to canonize Jae/Chiara...there could be the potential for drama there. I could almost picture a kind of sequel to Ismelda’s side-quest, that offers callbacks to the player’s choices, and maybe mentions if they dated Barnaby and or/Ismelda in the dating quests. 

Since Beatrice looks up to Ismelda, the latter could help the former in attempts to sabotage the relationship or try to scare Chiara off. For extra fun, the player could have the option to canonize that they fancy Jae or Chiara, if they want. (Though I doubt they’ll ever actually be dating options.) And the big choice at the end, similar to the love potion choice from before: Do you stop Beatrice’ plan and help her move on...or help her mess with the relationship, possibly serving your own interests at the same time...? 

Jam City, you already know what to do. 

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

so i'm not sure how far you are into the game but if in the newest chapter badeea & talbott are working on mapping out the black lake, does that mean badeea know talbott is an animagus? how does she think talbott know the lake well enough to describe it from bird's-eye view??

I am so far behind that it's laughable, but I keep up to date on the story anyway, and I did hear about that. Suffice it to say that the Talbott x Badeea shipper in my heart jumped for joy. I wonder if that's just fanservice or if the writers have always shipped them as well.

While it could just be a playful reference to Talbott's ability and penchant for birds, as they clearly love to add those...I am holding onto hope that it was a subtle clue to Badeea knowing the truth. The only other way Talbott could know that is...I dunno, looking out from the Owlery? Psst, Jam City, give us a TLSQ about their bond! You don't have to canonize it as specifically romantic, since that would conflict with players who've chosen to date him in the past, but...give us Talbott and Badeea being cute friends? The plot could be her learning his secret - it writes itself! Pretty please?

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

I agree. They removed Ismelda from the dating list, the least they can do is have her be added to our friend group. Merula treated MC a lot worse than she ever did and she still gets to be their girlfriend (by choice ofc), so I don’t really understand how this is fair tbh. (I know it’s to do with character popularity but still...) ;-;

I think part of it has to do with Merula’s popularity, and part of it has to do with the natural energy the characters have. I’ve said it before, but even if you don’t ship MC and Merula, you’ve got to admit that the energy is there. Their rivalry seems to have been written at least in part to cater to the Drarry fans, because MC/Merula’s dynamic bears strong resemblance to a lot of the fanon interpretations of Harry and Draco’s dynamic. 

Sadly, I think Ismelda is often seen as an afterthought. The developers probably figured that because she and Merula had such similar character paradigms, that it was better to cut one of them, and of course they were never going to cut Merula. She’s too popular, she has too much in-story focus and development between her and MC. I hope she gets added to the friend list, but even in this, I fear that she’ll be in Merula’s shadow. 😔

Psst, Jam City, it could easily be done! Write a sidequest or TLSQ about Ismelda and Beatrice! There’s tons of untapped potential there, and both of them would be fine additions to the Gobstones Roster.
