The fact that I can name three different near-apocalypses in Twisted Wonderland all caused by teenage mages says so much about these boys and their mental stability.

Why does no one ever consider therapy?

In the worst possible timeline AU, would Belos try to find Luz again after she runs away? He’d be so weirded out about how the HR has changed anyway I wonder how long it’ll take him to be arrested as a madman.

in my heart of hearts i believe belos falls off a cliff, kills his human body, tries to possess a deer, gets hit by a car, tries to possess a rabbit, gets eaten by a mountain lion, and then is finally struck down by lightning in an act of god or whatever. 🙏

▸ Magnus Asgeir Knutsen

Edad: 35 años

Rango: Segundo en la línea sucesoria Knutsen. Primogénito de Harald IV.

Ocupación: Mago Golpeador en el Ministerio Británico.

Clasificación: Mago Sangre Pura. Legeremante.

Estado: Vivo

PB: Jannik Schümann

Magnus I es el primer hijo del matrimonio consolidado por Harald IV y Thurid Knutsen, nieto directo del actual patriarca de la familia Halfdan XV y segundo en la línea sucesoria. Nació en Alemania y estudió en Durmstrang además de ser entrenado desde muy joven por su abuelo para convertirse en un sobresaliente agente de la ley. Los Knutsen se caracterizan por producir los mejores aurores de Europa occidental entrenándolos desde muy temprana edad para dicha tarea la cual emplean el resto de su vida. Tras el gran problema de las semi-criaturas que explotó en Reino Unido por el asesinato de Anthony Barrett, su abuelo (actual Director del Departamento de Seguridad Mágica Alemán) junto a la Confederación Internacional de Magos lo seleccionaron para trasladarse al Ministerio de Magia Británico y ofrecer su apoyo en términos de seguridad. Un perfecta excusa para que Halfdan y el Ministerio Alemán tuvieran sus propios ojos y oídos dentro del Ministerio Brítanico ante cualquier cambio en el panorama.

La muerte de Ivar - El problema con las semi-criaturas no había tocado personalmente a Magnus hasta hace unos años donde su punto de vista y rechazo a las mismas cambio por completo. Siempre se dedico simplemente a servir de apoyo al Ministerio Británico, sin embargo, todo cambió cuando le ofreció al menor de sus hermanos Ivar Knutsen unirse a él en el Reino Unido para encargarse personalmente de su entrenamiento como auror y cumplir con el deber familia. Ivar jamás llegó a encontrarse con Magnus tras su llegada, una intensiva búsqueda lo llevó a encontrar el cuerpo del menor de los Knutsen completamente calcinado con claros signos de lucha, las únicas pruebas encontradas en la escena fueron unos mechones de cabello de semi-veela. Desde entonces Magnus ha tomado dicha lucha como personal y un ataque directo a su familia, determinado a enjaular hasta la última semi-criatura trasgresora de la Ley ha reclutado a todos sus hermanos que poco a poco han comenzado a llegar al Reino Unido uno a uno dispuestos a cazar al culpable del asesinato de Ivar y hacer justicia.

tehe I have. An au. For The Characters

[gay-ghostwriter]

Hazbin Hotel question:

Do you guys think there are cops in hell?

Let me clarify. Obviously there are Sinners who used to be cops, if you've watched the news in the past number of years that should be obvious.

What I mean is, do you think there's some kind of law enforcement in Pentagram City?

We know there are prisons in Helluva Boss, Blitzo and Moxxie met in one, but I don't remember seeing any imp cops or anything like that.

[theshadowrealmitself]

Story where the character is like Saiki in that they do everything they can to be as unassuming as possible to get by unnoticed, but people still flock to them

And it turns out that they belong to a secret magic world where they’re well known on that side (not just a singular psychic like Saiki), and they have rivals waiting for them to fuck up in some way, so they’re trying so hard to not accidentally reveal the magic world or anything, but. people are just drawn to them. they can’t escape.

Medieval Madness expecting me to take this story seriously when the protagonist's name is fucking William de Cantaloupe.

[linddzz]

Listened to the discussion for Calamity and everyone having fun making their characters full of good intentions while still being corrupt leaders doing sketchy fucked up things and the beautiful complexities of power and hubris being smoothed over with noble ideals and causes is very good but it's so fucking funny learning that between the Shit Trio and Zerxus, the character updates Brennan was getting were like

"ok so we have corrupt leaders pulling ether fraud and being so nasty and bad and hubristic while convinced they're noble hehehehehehe oooo we so bad hehehehehe!!"

"I'm haunted by my dead husband and estranged son. My life is isolation and I am a shell within my armor even when I sit amongst friends. My dreams are full of fallen gods that I feel drawn to. The devil reaches out to me and I want to reach back because the sadness in his eyes reflects mine."

[bandomfandombeyond]

just watched Love Lies Bleeding, the newest A24 film, I have so many thoughts,,,,,

the movie's language is very well developed, and the editing is primo. sound design was also spectacular. A+ production overall.

In a more official review, David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called it, "a lesbian neo-noir drenched in brooding nightscapes, violent crime, and more hardcore KStew cool than has ever been packaged in such a potent concentrate."

genuinely, I'd say it's Thelma & Louise meets The Sopranos, a true film, not just a movie. a film we didn't know we had been waiting for.

spoilers ahead!!

if you decide you might want to watch it based on this review, I'd say avoid or be mindful if you get squicked and/or triggered by excellently wrought gay sex scenes, off screen and after match depictions of domestic violence, on screen domestic violence, mouth gore (no really, MOUTH. GORE.), vomit, guns and gun violence, or a homophobe punching a bisexual after she punched him for putting his hands on her. There are also a few depictions of altered states of consciousness and reality, one displayed as active hallucinations which narratively imply that anabolic steroids (essentially testosterone shots) create violent people who don't think about the consequences of their actions and black-out rage to kill others, while ALSO implying that hallucinations and delusions lead people to violence,,, ,,, ,,, And the other is just... subtle enough for most of the film until. surprise! giantess unbirth fetish bait at the end!

if that still sounds like it might be intriguing to you, keep reading :p

this movie has Kristen Stewart doing her sad twitchy sewer rat queer vibe to great effect, breakout star Katy M. O'Brian playing a bodybuilding nomad whose individual character arc is somehow giving gender and hate crime depending on the lens applied, butch 4 futch (argue w/ ur mama, Jackie is a bisexual futch) and butch 4 femme (although 4 is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this one-way dynamic) and (not so) incidental mob intrigue

and as far as aesthetics: it's set at the tail end of the 80s, so we have a delightful mesh of Kristen Stewart's oily 90s twinkdyke and Katy O'Brian's oiled-up 80s femme bodybuilder. howevrrr,,,

I'm not sure how to feel positively about the bait and switch of there being two clearly defined villains (the murderous mob boss father and the sister's abusive husband) having a diversion into the land of "this pillow princess femme who wants romance and a connection with the only other queer person in town is suddenly also a villain". I can see the potential transphobic underlying themes implied by depicting a masculinely gender non-conforming bisexual woman over-dosing "steroids" (testosterone) and turning her into a violent, delusional person who is even in narrative called a "monster" and told never to contact her family again (a very trans moment), especially when juxtaposed with the soft, effeminate, poor cis femme of dubious, unreliable-narrator-proclaimed straightness being an ongoing/foreshadowed minor antagonist in the storyline who manipulates the situation and main character to her advantage, and gets killed for it, but ultimately doesn't exist to do more than create tension between, and be a threat to, the main characters' relationship and the story's plot.

BUT! I do think it was thematically appropriate to finally make the relationship between Jack & Lou equal as a bow to tie the story together.

I enjoyed the film, I enjoyed the composition, I was more riveted to the screen than my ADHD ass usually managed when vegging out on the couch. it's everything I want from a movie where everyone involved ends up worse as a person after meeting each other

I'm just looking at it now with my AP English critical consumption skills and wondering if, maybe, queer communities in general, and the trans & lesbian communities specifically, are not currently enjoying the solidarity-filled political climate that would allow this movie to avoid potentially coming across as, well, a bit unknowingly biphobic and transphobic, even as a queer film, what with one of our main characters being depicted as loving her girlfriend "despite" her having had sex with men, and especially when the main pair get their "happy ending" at the cost of another queer person's life.

Maybe in 30-40 years.

VERDICT: polyamory (and solidarity over self-interest) could have saved this movie's 2nd half for focusing on the real villain: the cops and cop-lovers who were using their power to get away with disenfranchising people with escalating violence and abuse.

If you've also watched Love Lies Bleeding, or you know more about the context around the film, or you just like talking about meta analysis, please let me know what you think!

💀 Knutsen » Rama Princial

La rama principal de los Knutsen se ubica en Alemania, fue en 1872 que la cabeza de la familia en aquel entonces Ivar II decidió establecer sus raíces allí y desde entonces han permanecido en el corazón alemán. Han pasado por hechos históricos y conflictos sobreponiéndose a cada uno de ellos, fue así que el nombre de los Knutsen se convirtió con los años en un símbolo de fama en el Ministerio de Magia Alemán no solo por haber increíbles funcionarios y ministros sino por su destacable aporte al Departamento de Seguridad Mágica. Los Knutsen son afanosamente conocidos por su producción de increíbles y habilidosos aurores, la familia en su esencia se dedica a criar y producir a los mejores protectores de la justicia.

Así como en Skjultø, la tradición Knutsen de entrenar a sus miembros desde temprana edad para convertirse en aurores de extrema calidad se ha transmitido ininterrumpidamente a través de los años. Desde la primera muestra de magia cada miembro de la familia es considerado para iniciar su entrenamiento él cual va incrementando en dificultad a medida se vuelven más adultos y no se interrumpe ni siquiera cuando son ingresados a estudiar en alguna de las Escuelas Mágicas.

Actualmente la rama principal de los Knutsen se encuentra fragmentada entre Alemania y Reino Unido. Fue tras el ataque de la semi-arpía en Hogwarts y el inicio de la propuesta por la Ley de Convivencia Interespecie que Magnus I fue propuesto por la Confederación Internacional de Magos a trasladarse a Reino Unido como delegado Alemán y ofrecer su apoyo al Ministerio Inglés en términos de seguridad.

7 most unhinged canon drarry moments

Harry calling Draco his arch nemesis just a few months after Lord Voldemort tried to murder him for the second time but also immediately thinking that he kinda misses him

Harry getting hit in the head by a piece of luggage because he got so distracted by the sight of Draco changing that he didn’t notice someone swinging a large object at his face

Harry lying to the Order and Magical Law Enforcement to obfuscate Draco’s crimes at the end of sixth year

Voldemort immediately assuming Draco has gone looking for Harry when he goes missing during the Battle of Hogwarts…and being right

Narcissa assuming Harry will know where Draco is and if he’s still alive…and being right

Lucius getting mad at Draco in book 2 because he has spent the entire summer talking nonstop about Harry Potter

Harry forgetting about the time Voldemort possessed and nearly murdered Ginny but remembering every item he saw Draco look at in Borgin and Burkes 4 years previously

Two words: Faerie lawyer

Omg it could be like that meme with the monster deals.

You had gotten into some seriously issues and you had no idea what to do. Not only was human law enforcement up your ass, but the magical law enforcement was fucking you over on their glitter-covered cocks and leaving you to clean up the mess. No aftercare in damn sight.

But the real issue was that no lawyer, human or otherwise, wanted to take your case! They were all too scared. Not of you but what the hell you got yourself into. It wasn’t your fault. You were always weak for a charismatic douchebag who promised he loved you but then framed you for a series of crimes he committed. What can you say, you have bad taste.

It wasn’t until you were guided out of your temporary cell and into a questioning room to see a lawyer with his back to you that you finally had hope threatening to sprout within you. Until the idiot turned around and you instantly pick up on his Fae ears. The moment you sit down he starts to spout out some wonderful words of grandeur, promising he can get you off and set you free. Your brows rise at his word choice.

“And what will it cost me?” You finally ask once he’s done giving his whole sales pitch (mini-canons and sparklers included). A wicked gleam passes over his features and it sends a shiver racing down your spine. What kind of shiver? You know yourself well enough to figure it out.

“Oh, nothing much. I merely want to have your firstborn child. In exchange, I will help get you off.”

His words send another shiver throughout your entire body. Meeting his intense stare you narrow your eyes, trying to figure out how you can manipulate this to your advantage. You’re in a battle of wits with a Fae and you did not consider that possibility when you wondered the other day how long you could stay awake before insanity started to set in awaiting your trial.

“Deal,” you finally say. The Faerie’s eyes sparkle with mischief. Though it falters as you mirror the expression. “So when do we get to it?”

“HMMM? Pardon me?”

“You said you wanted to have my firstborn. Well, I’m ready to begin when you are.”

The Faerie Lawyer’s cheeks flood with color. His face turning warm under your suggestive and mischievous smirk. He squirms in his suit, the blasted outfit suddenly feeling too tight and too warm to keep on for a moment longer. His eyes blaze with lust and he looks just about ready to take you on the metal table standing between you two. The one you’re conveniently chained to.

He did not consider this possibility earlier when he decided to take advantage of being selected as your court-appointed attorney. But hey, he’s not complaining now.

methods of binding a wizard

figure 1: anti-magic cuffs. the most expensive--but most dignified--method of binding a wizard. their exact alchemical makeup is difficult to replicate, and so they are usually only found in the possession of powerful magic-users who can construct them themselves, and royalty who can afford to commission them. there are several lost pairs floating around in various black markets. any magic-user bound in the cuffs is rendered completely magically inert*, unable to perform even basic cantrips. such cuffs are most frequently used in trials by the wizard's consent. they are, after all, less humiliating than the more practical options.

figure 2: iron and leather. this is the most common way to bind a wizard, used largely by mercenaries, law enforcement, and anyone else with experience dealing with them. the hands are forced into fists within tight leather mittens, and the mouth is kept gagged with either a leather belt or metal bit. this prevents him from making hand gestures, tracing seals, or speaking spells. binding his ankles prevents an especially wily wizard from drawing seals on the ground with his feet. the collar is to remind him he's a little bitch.

figure 3: cloth, rope, and a sack. the most accessible way to bind a wizard, and by far the most degrading. the preferred method of peasants and angry mobs, it takes a 'better safe than sorry' approach by stripping and blindfolding the wizard. one can never know what enchantments he's sewn into his garments, and what curses he can cast with a look. the sack should be filled with a thick material, like flour, horse-feed, or mud. anything to keep his hands still. this method is also frequently employed by other wizards, the humiliation being the point.

*this includes tattooed seals. cadogan, bound this way, would regain his breasts, higher voice, and the function of his uterus. he would still prefer cuffs to being bound any other way.
