my sirius & harry thought of the day:

harry kept that firebolt alive for all 137 years of his remaining life through sheer willpower and magical strength. he did not let a single twig of it die off. not only was he absolutely unhinged about taking care of it, not letting anyone near it after 5th year, but he also basically single-handedly reinvented the field of broom-crafting just so he could keep his godfather’s gift to him alive. he didn’t do anything with this skill, basically driving everywhere who knew him spare bc !!! ‘harry do u know what u just did? most brooms don’t last over 6-7 years, not even a fraction of that if used at the pace and frequency as u. if u could just—‘

and he just flat out shuts them up bc how does he tell them that the reason his firebolt is still alive is bc sirius’ love runs thru it and harry would die himself before he let it bc he can’t lose the last piece of sirius he has left. he cannot perform this miracle on any other broom, tho he can probably make the single best non-sirius-gifted broom that the WW has ever seen just bc of how extensive his knowledge is now

and the thing, right, is he doesn’t keep the firebolt locked up in some display like some artefact. sirius would’ve never wanted that. his dad would’ve hated it. brooms were meant to be flown. so fly, he does. wonderfully. it’s forever his primary broom and he puts it thru all the paces, keeping up with all sorts of newer, flashier, pro models w utter ease.

it’s like this: when he uses this firebolt, it feels like perhaps he has his godfather back for just a second. and harry is forever weak to that feeling.

saw a post about how people want will solace to have a gun because they don’t recognize the value of his healing powers which can be true but also

the whole thing in pjo is that for demigods fighting = autonomy and independence (which is why percy screams at the begging IT SUCKS TO BE A DEMIGOD) the idea is that the camp makes demigods safe (by teaching them how to fight) and any other type of labour isn’t that much valuable because they > don’t teach them that it is < / > they don’t live enough to need them <

The Harpies are the ones cleaning instead of themselves, the Ambrosia will heal instead of actual doctors (which puts a hell of pressure on Will when the ambrosia is not enough because he needs to treat those who are severely injured AND the light injured who already took way too much Ambrosia)

And I don’t think this was on purpose RR was just like “oh shit someone and something needs to do this boring stuff”

I think the camp should have an equilibrium going on like teach those kids valuable life skills (what is safe to eat in a forest how do I cook make themselves clean the dishes how do I treat an injurie without ambrosia ((this one for wills sake too)) how do I guide myself without a gps) and also what kind of fighting suits you because yeah in a world where monsters want to kick your ass you need to know how to defend yourself not because this is what makes you valuable but because it what makes you SURVIVE

a brief summary of the tags i get on my art/posts about father mulcahy from m*a*s*h (yall are INSATIABLE):

When you spend your whole life locked in a room, escape becomes terrifying. All you know is here; the cage is a comfort, every inch known to you.

This is your life. This is all you've lived.

Here is where you know the rules. There is no confusion or fear. It's all the same and it drives you mad but you can't imagine it any other way.

Wondering is addictive, forbidden, the sweet taste of rebellion on your tongue. The golden fruit, the blood red apple. The thought: what if there's more out there? What if I leave?

Freedom is a thing with wings and you've always walked with your head down but the sun is warm when you reach out a hand to feel it. Golden light between your fingers. Almost an embrace. Wanting makes a home in your ribs. You can almost taste the wind in your teeth.

Look up. The door is left unlocked, if only you'll open it.

Somewhere out there is the world.

One day, you'll find it.

happy enough again with my daily (although it's been more like weekly if that lately tbh) recording exercise from yesterday to post it, actually I'm a little proud of myself because this is the first time I felt confident enough to record myself playing accordion, plus there's programmed drums on this one! I've been kind of obsessed with this song lately ever since I got this EP on cd a couple weeks ago and it was so fun to play. very short but fun!

physical abuse/fighting in families shouldn't be fucking normalized or joked about EVEN with siblings EVEN with parents EVEN with any fucking relatives

[secret-whump-basement]

Whumpee who’s tied up and shoved in small spaces. Wardrobes, under a bed, broom closets. Tight places where they could have the chance to shuffle around a little at least, were it not for the restraints on their arms and legs, keeping them in whatever position Whumper wanted them in. Maybe they can still wiggle around a bit, but they certainly can’t stand themselves up

Maybe Whumper keeps them there for a long while. Whumpee doesn’t really know how long, but Whumper comes in sometimes to give them a little food and water so they assume it’s days going by. Or maybe they don’t even get fed, so there’s no way to tell

When they’re finally let back out and untied, their muscles are so cramped up in that position that they can barely move without pain

Just got the hc that sirius built a broom for james sometime between second and fourth year.

Sort of a prelude for his own bike, but also bc he loves to built magical stuff, getting behind all the spells and how they work, and, of course, to give James the best gift ever!

OMG YES!

and i’m imagining—sirius kind of keeping it a bit of a secret? (maybe the WW looks down upon physical work like this as well? idk) and not exactly intending to give it to james because 1. he can’t compete with the top of the line models on the market and 2. it’s literally the first time he’s doing this, he’s seen how badly the earlier versions have failed and he does not want james falling to deal from like 200ft in the sky and definitely not because of him.

so yeah, he makes it and he just dithers around, not showing it to james until he’s either found out or j accidentally stumbles on it (or remus gets fed up and gives the game away) and it’s just like.

james is standing there, slack jawed, staring at this beautiful, gorgeous broom that his best friend built himself and then there’s sirius to the side, as close to shuffling his feet and wringing his hands as he can physically get.

and j just announces that this is it, this is gonna be my match broom now on.and sirius is like?? wtf?? no jaMES NO UR GONNA DIE WHAT!! but a more hardheaded potter the world has never seen and a few scuffles later, james, predictably, emerges victorious, broom in hand like excalibur.

as promised, he uses it for every match possible and the first time he flew on it, sirius watched him like. hawk (even going up on himself to follow him) as well as recruiting like. 10 people as spotters in case he fell. after the nerve wracking experience was over tho (and james was unhurt. duh. as if sirius’ magic could ever let him get hurt); that’s when it really hits sirius how much trust james puts in him bc he did that without a second thought, never even bothered to doubt him.
