#kingsley's version

[avocado-frog]

thinking about how yaelokre says the playwright wrote the songs of origin based on stories the kids had told them.

thinking about "i can be different, i can't be puppeted" as a reassurance to clemente rather than one for themself or even from cole

thinking also about peregrine saying "i am not addressing it and we are not singing about it." in the milestone video. do you think they wanted a song to be written at all.

Because money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it.

I've been wanting to share this with you all for a while.

I like listening to music that fits to the characters or the scene I'm writing. Here I've gathered some classical pieces which I see fits the personality, the different situations, and the overall mood of this tiny ship I adore with all my heart.

Prepare to hear a handful of Ravel, Chopin, and Debussy in this, not because they're my favorite composers at all. Cough

But really, Ravel suits Peter so well in my opinion. Many of his pieces are gentle, flowy, dreamy; just like my precious piano boy🥰 And Chopin perfectly represents Peter's more pessimist, gloomy side he tries to bury it away from Percival's sight, only letting it out when he's alone in a lonely night.

If you have any suggestions on a piece I should add into this playlist, please don't refrain yourself from expressing your thoughts🤗

Damn it, I made Ortega sick. Now David has to deal with it and it's killing me.🙈

A few minutes later, David opened the door. Ortega was leaning against the doorframe, his helmet in his hand. His hair was stuck in the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead, and deep circles under his eyes made him look years older. His breathing rhythm was disturbingly fast, as if he had just conquered a bull alone instead of a single flight of stairs. "Hell, you look like shit." Unusually, there was no retort, just a weak smile before Ortega's arms closed around his waist and his head rested far too heavily on his shoulder.

[dracomort]

oh, I love the ripley books! an excellent use of $35.

imo the world is sleeping on tom ripley/tom riddle…one hit on ao3. where are my endless fics of the toms conning and murdering their way across the continent in the 50s? smh

To be honest, I'm shocked there's even a fic for them 🤣

They certainly have a lot in common, despite being from opposite sides of the pond. I'm also just now realising Ripley and Riddle would be contemporaries (25 and 28 respectively during the events of TTMR). Not entirely sure they would be each other's types though 🤔

[feyhooves]

Thinking about how much I love that Kingsley names their ship after Molly — it's a callback to the previous person in the body, but Molly's name coming from a species of albatross ... Albatrosses are a source of superstition on the sea; you don't kill them because they're the ghosts of dead sailors and they will curse your ship if you harm them. There's an entire song about it.

[valiantstarlights]

I just saw the MV, and predictably, the ear tugging is the first thing I focus on:

The Crookes - Dance in Colour

“You make it sound so simple.” “It is simple.” “Not for me. Some dream of quiet love… I favour chaos. I want it to hurt. I need to feel it in every single breath.”

There hasn't been nearly enough Behind the Scenes footage from BARBIE

Kens Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Evans and Simu Liu rehearsing.

Now the full version of "I'm Just Ken" has been made into a music video using bts footage, including the recording session with Guns n' Roses' Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen on guitar.

The Larks and Swimming

There’s a river that they all like to hang out at

Kingsley once jumped into the water and thee resurfaced with an entire turtle (“what do i do with him” “PUT HIM BACK!!!”)

Cole is a surprisingly good swimmer!

But they WILL freak out if something even slightly slimy brushes their toes

Perrine can swim enough to not die

But she’s not very good at treading water

She will also freak out if something touches her feet

Kingsley likes to grab their feet underwater to scare them

Clementine is just straight vibing

They ABSOLUTELY play mermaids, are you kidding me?

Kingsley makes the most overpowered mermaid and upsets Cole because “no, that’s not fair to everyone else!” (i just know Cole takes pretend way too seriously)

Perrine is always very wary and a little shy about playing pretend due to how she grew up, but she ALWAYS gets into it the most

The others are happy to see her acting so carefree and joyful

They play Marco Polo, but Kingsley cheats by just getting out of the water

Chicken fights, right?

Perrine has accepted that she’ll always be on the bottom

But then Clementine is like “i gotchu, sib”

Perrine and Clementine? terrifying duo

Kingsley gets fucking DECKED by Perrine

She plays to win

Kingsley gets Cole on his shoulders, but he’s short, so he just drowns if he goes too deep

Y’all know how penguins will bring rocks to their mates? That’s Clementine and Cole

Clementine brings Cole all the pretty rocks they find in the water and shore

Cole ends up going home with like twenty rocks (they keep all of them in a special antique box in their room)

Kingsley starts mud fights where he just slings giant globs of mud at everyone (this always pisses Perrine off)

Cole, without fail, gets sunburned every single time, no matter how much sunscreen they put on (or whatever the whimsy forest version of sunscreen is)

Clementine constantly reminds everyone to drink water

Perrine always forgets

Kingsley swims with his eyes open underwater and then complains about his eyes hurting

One time, the kids were traversing some rocks in the water, and Perrine slipped and busted her ass on said rock, cracking her tailbone in the process

The other kids were all like 😟😬

She was fighting back tears while saying she was fine (she couldn’t sit down without being in agony for two weeks) (yes this is a projection what of it)

Kingsley pretends to drown to see if anyone would notice

There’s this rock in the river that they can climb up and jump off of

Catch Clementine out here swan diving

Cole gets football tackled off of it by Kingsley (Kingsley then gets scolded for it after because Cole almost had a heart attack)

Kingsley purposely aims for other people when he jumps off

Perrine is so ungraceful trying to simply climb up to the top of it

Knees wobbling, hands slipping

It’s a workout

Clementine catches a frog and brings it to the top of the rock

All the kids hail it as King Frog

The frog jumps off

They start screaming in dismay

[askthe-ppgs-rrbs]

a ppg villain oc (with more to come!!)

An alternate version of princess, his name is Kingsley P’ire and wants to turn my ppg ocs into vampires like him, similar but opposite of how princess wants to be a powerpuff.

Behind the Scenes of Wild Blue Yonder - Part Five

Excerpt from Emily Cook's Behind the Scenes article in DWM #589

“There’s lots of acting for David and Catherine in this episode,” says Tom. “And they’re also playing different versions of themselves as well, which is really cool.” “It’s not straightforward, distinguishing between the actual Doctor and the not-thing Doctor,” David explains, “because there are scenes where the gag is that as an audience you’re deceived. So you have to play that as the Doctor, you can’t give anything away otherwise you’re undermining it. Also, the logic is they’re developing very quickly so they’re not going to be the same from scene to scene. In some ways, that’s quite liberating because you can just select whatever is most effective in that moment either to deceive the audience or to creep people out.” “There’s something soulless about the bad versions,” considers Tom [Kingsley, director of Wild Blue Yonder]. “All the life that David and Catherine bring to these characters, they subtly turn that down.” Catherine says that, for her, the most challenging part of the episode is “Holding two conversations in your head at the same time.” “Yeah,” agrees David, “we have to learn the lines twice. I don’t actually have any lines today though. I’m literally just running in straight lines. Running on the travelators is going to be an added challenge though.”

[sitp-recs]

hello lovely, saw you reblogged this post https://www.tumblr.com/sitp-recs/758533437376315392 i love the "oh oh i'm in love" trope but i never read the kinky oh oh, do you have any recs? any ship, any trope :D sending love!! x

Hello friend! I definitely have recs for that trope 😌

Drarry:

Arms and Elbows by @sorrybutblog (E, 3k)

Or: Draco likes to pick up guys and fist them. Harry is his roommate, but that doesn't mean he should get left out of the fun.

Lucid by @dracoladon (E, 4.4k)

Harry's not sure what makes him harder; listening to Draco talk about astronomy, or shagging Draco so thoroughly that he can't talk at all. Both, probably.

Sports Star by @moonflower-rose (E, 4.8k)

Life as a professional Quidditch player involves a strict routine, and more hydration than Harry could have imagined. He's happy to follow the rules, but he does keep one little strategy to himself, his secret to success on the pitch. Unfortunately, that secret is about to be exposed to Draco Malfoy.

Float by @shiftylinguini (E, 5k)

After a night out, Harry wakes up feeling like he slept on concrete, like his body's made of sand, like he accidentally pissed on his housemate the night before. Because he did accidentally piss on his housemate the night before.

Like This and Like This (Dreams of Lace) by @primavera-cerezos (E, 6.6k)

Harry gets an accidental peek. He can’t think of anything else.

Aletheia by @lazywonderlvnd (E, 8k)

Draco finds out Daphne's been shagging Potter and it turns out it's really not that difficult to get a piece of her hair.

Aural Gratification by birdsofshore (E, 11k)

Harry's not gay – he just likes listening to exciting stories about Aurors. It's not his fault that the narrator's voice is so smooth, so expressive... and really rather hot.

Shining, Like A Present by @bixgirl1 (E, 13k)

The discovery of a small silver box at the site of a case opens up new possibilities.

Wicked Game by Cassiopeias_shadow (E, 21k)

Harry and Draco fall into a spring that allows them to enter into each other’s dreams - but Harry doesn’t quite understand what’s happening, not at first. Why does he keep seeing Draco having kinky sex with a dream version of Harry? And furthermore, why does he like it?

Dirty Little Secret by @writcraft (E, 22k)

When someone threatens Harry’s life, Kingsley decides to send him to a safe house with only Draco Malfoy for company. As the two men are forced together, memories of the past resurface and secrets are discovered.

True Children Still by @gracerene (E, 34k)

After years of dancing around each other, Draco and Harry have finally begun to date, though they're taking things slow. They've got enough to figure out as it is, and the last thing Harry needs is an unexpected introduction to desires he's not quite ready to face.

Inside Your Mind by lazywonderlvnd (E, 36k)

Goyle's taken it upon himself to act as Malfoy's personal, one-man guard and Harry can't help but feel like it's only making the bullying worse.

Other ships:

Essential Lessons by @sorrybutblog (E, 2k) - Ron/Hermione

Hermione wakes up with a cock. Ron teaches her how to jerk it.

Skanc Alley by Lokifan (E, 2.6k) - Ron/Draco

Ron wants to roleplay him having rentboy!Draco. Draco doesn’t get it.

Simple As It Is, Complicated As You Need by @lqtraintracks (E, 3.5k) - Harry/Teddy

It's not something they do often, this whole 'Daddy' thing. But to be fair, they don't even have regular sex as often as Teddy would like either. It's not as though they've even admitted they're doing anything. One of the benefits and curses of both of them being Legilimens actually: Nobody ever has to talk.

Sardines by shiftylinguini (E, 4k) - Jeddy + Scorbus

It’s bad enough his cock is hard from listening to the impromptu midnight pornography of his brother getting off; Albus is not going to add seeing it to the list of reasons why he lost his mind, and presumably his eyesight, on the eve of his grandmother's seventieth. Scorpius, though, doesn’t appear to have any such qualms.

Waiting Under Vain by supergrover24 (E, 4.8k) - Harry/Teddy

Teddy wants to know how sex really should be. Harry can't resist, no matter how much he tries.

Use My Last Breath (to say I love you) by @cassiaratheslytherpuff (E, 6k) - Harry/Charlie

Harry loves the way Charlie's hands feel around his neck. He's not sure how to feel about the tiny dragon or the long-distance relationship.

Green Light by iota (E, 6k) - Ginny/Hermione

What if the best way to get over Ron was to get under Ginny?

The Alchemy of Cigarettes by meshkol (E, 11k) - Albus/Draco

Something about seeing Draco smoking makes him want to drop to his knees.

Burned Silk, Buckled Leather by @ruinsplume (E, 12k) - Draco/Sirius

When Sirius discovers a down-and-out Draco Malfoy lurking around the edges of a Muggle kink club, he thinks he knows just what Draco needs. He isn't expecting to run into some long-buried needs of his own.

Team Players by shiftylinguini (E, 15k) - Jeddy + James/Oliver

Everyone has that one celebrity they’d move heaven and earth to get between their legs, and James Potter is no exception. He just never anticipated that number one on his Freebie List would end up in the same room as him, let alone would make the first move. But lucky for James, Teddy is a team player―well, he probably is, especially with what James is suggesting.

it's brutal out here by dracoladon and lazywonderlvnd (E, 25k) - Charlie/Draco

Draco finally meets Charlie Weasley. He's kind of a beast.

[hollowed-theory-hall]

Hi, I really love your posts, they are so well-structured and researched and I agree with a lot of your takes. I was wondering firstly if you had any headcanons about people’s accents outside of standard RP english (which there was an over-representation of in the movies)? i found a really good post on this by @lotstradamus. I also wondered if there are any characters you headcanon as PoC that are not explicitly stated like Blaise, Angelina, Kingsley, Dean, the Patil twins and Cho? Also, what are your favourite fic recs for HP (Tomarry, Gen or Harry/Others)? I am trying to expand my fic list. Thanks :)

Hi, 👋

Thank you so much!

Okay, so I found @lotstradamus's post you mentioned here and she explains UK and Ireland accents way better than I, a non-brit whose only time standing on British soil was in the London airport for a connection flight, ever could. Additionally, I'm shit at recognizing accents from hearing even when these are accents I know well. That being said, I have been thinking a lot about where in the UK & Ireland characters came from so I will use that (& the power of Google) to infer about the accents, since they tend to be regional.

I would love to hear about my attempt from any actual Brits who can help me with this. (Also, I'm not going to be mentioning the movie accents, as yes, there definitely aren't enough accents there, but also, I don't really know how to tell the difference between many British accents from hearing alone, so...) I also tried to add video/recording examples for how the accents would sound like for all the non-brits like me for whom the accent name would say literally nothing. Without further ado:

HP characters accents

Let's start with the characters we know for sure where they are from:

We know Harry is from Surry, so his accent should be southern but from an upper-middle-class area near London, so he should be close-ish to RP. (Tom Felton was born in 1980 in Surrey, so he's probably close to Harry's accent)

Sirius grew up in Grimmauld Place in London so as rebellious as he wants to be he still sounds like a posh-as-hell Londoner. (Example)

The Weasleys, Luna Lovegood, and Cedric Diggory all grew up in Ottery St Catchpole which is in Devon, so they all have a West Country accent.

(the children at least, the parents might have different accents. Like, Molly I think sounds a bit posher since the Prewetts seem at least upper-middle-class).

Albus Dumbledore was born in Mould-on-the-Wold before his family moved to Godric's Hallow after his father's arrest. As Mould-on-the-Wold might be based on Stow-on-the-Wold, I'd take it that it's located around the same area in Gloucestershire. As such his accent would probably be a West country accent for the most part.

Abeforth's accent is similarly West Country, except add some random bits of highland slang he might've picked up from all his years at Hogsmeade and without any smoothening over.

Google has informed me Hagrid's dialect written in the books is a West Country dialect, which is the same as the Weasleys, Diggorys, Lovegoods, and Dumbledores (there are a lot of wizards in West Country)

(West Country Example 1, West Country Example 2, West Country Example 3) - think movie Hagrid for all of them.

James Potter and the entire Potter family (and the Abbotts as well, actually, so Hannah too) are from Godric's Hallow which is somewhere in the West Country, but, James is also from a rich family, so he likely sounds closer to RP than the Weasleys. So his accent should be a general southern posh that isn't quite perfect RP but closer to it than to West Country accent. (Example)

Tom Riddle is one I have a specific headcanon about. Like, he grew up in an underfunded orphanage that was most likely in East End London — young Tommy had a Cockney accent and he spent his first month at Hogwarts learning to mimic all the posh purebloods around him. So Tom probably sounds like the perfect dictionary version of RP as he is actively hiding his accent. (Cockney example, another one, RP example)

Snape, probably does something similar. He grew up in slums in Cokeworth which is somewhere in the Midlands, so I think he is actively hiding his accent too so he could fit in with his posh pureblood peers in Slytherin better.

Lily probably has a similar accent to Snape, just, probably like a softer version of it, idk, that's what I'm thinking.

Now the midlands is an area that encompasses a lot of different accents, so I wanted to narrow it down a bit more. I found this post by @potions-and-potters that placed Cokeworth in the black country, and it sounds right considering the industrial vibe of the town and the descriptions we get. So, Lily and Snape had variations of the black country accent. The Snape we meet in the book speaks the same dictionary RP as Voldemort, probably (Example 1, Example 2 of Lily's and Snape's accents)

Draco and the Malfoy family are from Wiltshire which is also in the West Country, but because you know the Malfoys sound posh, it would be closer to RP (not too different from James' accent probably), but with a bit of a drawl since in the books they are described often as "drawling".

McGonagall is the most Scottish character there is so she has to have a Scottish accent. On Pottermore it's written she grew up in the Highlands of Scotland:

She grew up in the Highlands of Scotland

(from Pottermore)

So she has a Highlands accent (Example 1, Example 2). I find this sort of Scottish accent fits McGonagall quite well since it's very clear and deliberate.

Seamus Finnigan has to be Irish, as he is mentioned to be a fan of the Quidditch Team Kenmare Kestrels, he likely is from the area, which is around south Ireland. (Example)

Stan Shunpike is written as speaking in a Cockney dialect according to Google.

Dean Thomas is a fan of the West Ham United Football Club which is located in London, so Dean is likely from London and has a London accent. (Went for a South London accent).

We know Justing Flich-Fletchy had his name down for Eton, as @lotstradamus mentioned, so he's also a super posh RP-ish speaker. (More examples)

Tonks uses "wotcher" a lot which is common in North London dialects, so I'm going to go with a North London accent for her. (Example)

Now, for characters I don't know where they are from it's much harder to guess accents because I'm not British and can't get accent "vibes", unfortunately, so I'm only going based on locations and gut feelings.

I can say Hermione always sounds very RP and kinda posh in my head, I imagine books Hermione sounding pretty much like Emma Watson. As we know she comes from a well-to-do middle-class family, it even makes some sense. (Example)

(I also think it's funny to have Harry and Hermione both sounding all RP and Ron speaking more similar to movie Hagrid)

I kinda want to give Remus an accent that isn't RP, just because I feel like it and there are so many posh speakers on this list already and his mom is said to be Welsh:

On an investigative trip into a dense Welsh forest in which a particularly vicious Boggart was supposed to be lurking, Lyall ran across his future wife. Hope Howell, a beautiful Muggle girl who worked in an insurance office in Cardiff

(from Pottermore)

I decided I wanted Remus to be Welsh, so I gave him a South Welsh accent in my head. (Example)

Since there's no one on this list from the north, I'd like Neville to keep Matthew Lewis' Yorkshire accent. (Example)

Trelawney is a cornish name and JKR chose it on purpose:

I love Cornish surnames, and had never used one until the third book in the series, so that is how Professor Trelawney got her family name.

(from Pottermore)

So, I'll take it to mean Trelawney is from Cornwell and has a Cornish accent. (Examples)

I have no clue about Peter.

If any Brits are reading this, how did I do?

As for your other questions: not really.

I mean, Harry is pretty detailed with character descriptions (especially for the main ones, including himself and Hermione who are often headcanoned as having darker skin but are described as white in the books on multiple occasions) so I never really felt there was headcanon space there for the characters I cared for. Personally, I try to keep my headcanons as canon compliant as I can so if someone has a description, I won't come up with a different one.

As for fics, I don't really do fic recs, so I'm sorry I can't help you with that.
