My baby’s favorite song is, “the cat stood up a post, one cat stood on the post, another cat stood on its ears!” chanted tunelessly with random other animals and objects inserted instead of cat. Sometimes he also says something else instead of ears - ie, another tadpole stood on its back! - but he will also say ears for things that definitely don’t have ears and then laugh uproariously

I asked my niece what her favourite song was and she said Lalala 🎵

Sorry for all of the delays for the asks! I'll get onto them, been busy for a bit and fallen into a TF2 wormhole.

Made myself a fancy birthday tea party on Monday. Coconut cake with a Swiss meringue frosting and strawberries from the garden, peonies from the garden, coffee, raspberry tea (for Teaschooler) and lavender Earl Grey for @nimblermortal. Very satisfying - I don't think I've broken out the tablecloth since we moved in, and I know we've not used the tea set since I got it two years ago! Clearly time to do more tea parties.

THE NEW BUDDY DADDIES EPISODE Kazuki x Rei x Kyu poly idc what anyone says

[hollowed-theory-hall]

you mentioned many times that wizards don't study magical theory at Hogwarts, but they have a book on the list for first year! and in book 7 there is an ad on a bookstore about it. maybe they don't study it as a separate subject, but they are told about the theory at every single one. the same laws on Potions or Transfiguration are theories in sum. the academic program at Hogwarts is just terrible, fact.

I also think that most wizards don't think about theory as such, that's why we have what we have. they are more interested in politics, careers, teatalks or money than magical theory or slavery or feminism or other cool things. they're used to their lives, they're used to magic, and I can also assume that muggleborns adopt this behavior, or, more appropriately, don't think about the nature of magic either - it's there, and that's enough. people are extremely lazy by nature to seek knowledge.

and let's be honest - not all wizards as talented as Snape - most are still ordinary and do not have outstanding skills to think about something else. most people are like that, wizards are not much different in this.

however, the theory that the Ministry is an authoritarian structure and silences everything is possible fact and does not contradict the above. yk corruption and biggotry. and I am sure that it is easier for purebreds to apply for licensing (if it exists at all) of their work, of any nature

Like, they study very select parts of magical theory, I'd say. Like, they learn about Gamp's laws of transfiguration, they learn the Unforgivables require you to "mean them" but they aren't told what it means. They aren't told why any of what they learn is true, so I won't really call it as "studying magical theory". At least not properly.

Becouse even the bits of magical theory they do study is... well, it's flimsy and inaccurate at best and outright false at worst.

The official definitions of what is Dark Magic make zero sense:

Dark Arts referred to any magic that was mainly used to control, harm or kill its target.

I mean, Amoretentia and Obliviation are both mainly used to control someone, and they aren't considered dark. Why? You can kill a troll with Wingardium Leviosa (as proven in first year) and yet the killing curse is what's illegal and not the act of killing regardless of what spell you use. Diffindo is literally called "the Severing Charm" it's used only to harm the target (the target just doesn't have to be a person) and it's not dark magic. Many hexes and jinxes are considered dark, yet they are legal because they supposedly aren't as "corruptive" as other dark magic? Even though except Voldemort we don't see any dark wizard corrupted by dark magic and even Voldemort's supposed dark magic corruption is questionable.

What I'm saying is their terminology sucks. Even the difference between charms, jinxes, hexes, curses, and transfiguration isn't always clear-cut (quite often it isn't, actually) and there are many misclassified spells.

Like, the Tongue-Tying Curse is referred to as a curse even if it's clearly not as severe as most curses are and should probably be classified as a jinx or a hex. The Hardening Charm (Duro) is called a charm and it is referenced in a charms book although it's more akin to a transfiguration spell than a charm (hence why the mobile game Hogwarts Mystery placed it in transfiguration, an understandable mistake). The Anti-Alohamora spell is classified as a charm but for some reason, the Anti-Disapparation spell is classified as a jinx. None of this makes sense.

Basically, a lot of magical definitions are very arbitrary and have everything to do with ministry regulation and nothing to do with actual magical theory and how these spells work. The book by Slinkhard Umbridge assigns is an extreme example of this:

“He says that counterjinxes are improperly named,” said Hermione promptly. “He says ‘counterjinx’ is just a name people give their jinxes when they want to make them sound more acceptable.”

(OotP)

The book literally groups a bunch of spells that aren't dark magic as jinxes, and therefore, they are considered dark magic according to Slinkhard. Which fits what the ministry is trying to do. They are trying to make the population defenseless, to make sure Dumbledore doesn't have a student army (which is what Fudge fears). So they discourage casting counterjinxes (and other defensive magic) by redefining them as "dark". Like, Umbridge's whole shtick is to make sure they don't learn Defence Against the Dark Arts.

The above is an extreme example but all their school books have biases and inaccuracies. I mean, we also know Advanced Potion-Making that Slughorn assigned had many inaccurate recipes and that Snape altered almost all of that book to make it correct (even on the theory aspects). And it was used for teaching at Hogwarts for years! And no one had an issue with that!

Like, I just know the Magical Theory book they had in first year doesn't really explain why spells need to be said a certain way or why a wand needs to be waved one way or another. Like, the magical theory they know is very limited and shallow. They know the rules of how spells and potions work on the surface, but they don't know why it works this way. They have no clue how magic actually works. (If Hogwarts was teaching it, they'd be learning Latin which most of their spells are based on in the UK).

That's why I blame the ministry and Hogwarts curriculum for hiding information. It's not just that they aren't teaching magical theory, they are teaching factually incorrect magical theory and misclassifying spells constantly.

And sure, the wizarding population in general is academically lazy, but a government and education system affect how "lazy" a population is and a good education system can improve the general understanding of people and their critical thinking. People aren't as naturally lazy as you think, the systems in the wizarding world encourage them to memorize instead of think and to be lazy. There are cultures that are more academically inclined than others due to cultural and systematic factors. How lazy their society is is an issue with their system.

Not to mention the fact the only government-approved path to academically study magic is to become unspeakable. The whole point of Unspeakables is that they are unspeakable — don't talk about what they study — and yet they are the only ones studying the nature of magic and magical theory. It is clearly hidden from the public if the people studying it are sworn to secrecy. I mean, they wouldn't be sworn to secrecy if there wasn't something shady and corrupt going on, after all, it's not a matter of security like in the DMLE, it's a matter of science. You'll only silence the scientists when you don't want the people to know how the world works for some reason or another.

What I'm saying, is that everything in how their world operates suggests an authoritarian, controlling government that maliciously manipulates their culture's understanding of magic. And, well, there's a reason Fudge sent Umbridge in at year 5 — the year in which he fears he'd lose his control over the population. Because a misinformed & defenseless society is easier to control.

As an aside, since you asked about it, there is a registration process for spells you make up to be approved for use:

“Why does it matter if it’s handwritten?” said Harry, preferring not to answer the rest of the question. “Because it’s probably not Ministry of Magic- approved,” said Hermione.

(HBP - when talking about spells in the HBP book)

guys it has come to my attention that there are certain people who think @teatalkblog is judegossip. i don't know where these claims have come from or why they would think that, but i can assure you teatalk is not judegossip.

because of these claims she's now receiving horrible asks threatening her and mentioning self harm and other messed up things, which is NEVER okay, no matter who's behind the account.

this level of obsession some of you have is actually not okay, because why are you going out of your way to threaten somebody to never speak on your fav footballer again and say the most vile things over a footballer who doesn't even know you exist. some of you take things way too far. gossip blogs are meant to be taken lightly, if this type of stuff triggers you this much, then you shouldn't even be on these blogs.

anyway i'm assuming the one sending those messed up asks to teatalk is on this blog as well, because the claims of her being judegossip were made in the replies of one of my posts, so i'd wanna ask them to please stop, as she's not judegossip and has nothing to do with her.

Опросник Марселя Пруста

@marina-teatalk-therapy и @anrivi сто лет назад (ладно, не сто, а всего три) передали эстафету с опросником Пруста, а я положил её в черновик и благополучно забыл. Я много раз его уже заполнял в разных вариациях, но почему бы не попробовать сейчас, вдруг что-то поменялось?

1. Добродетели, которые вы цените больше всего?

Перечитал википедию на тему того, что такое «добродетель», узнал много нового, так как прогуливал в универе философию. Если брать за основу классификацию Платона, то мудрость и справедливость.

2. Качества в женщинах, которые вы цените?

Доброта и искренность.

3. Качества в мужчинах, которые вы цените?

Благородство и находчивость.

4. Любимые занятия?

Путешествовать, читать, смотреть кино и сериалы, играть в игры, программировать, а ещё есть и спать.

5. Ваша главная черта?

Критическое мышление. Я сомневаюсь абсолютно во всём и всегда интересуюсь, а можно ли что-то сделать по-другому, не так, как принято и положено. А в идеале, если окажется, что можно вообще не делать.

6. Идея о счастье?

Счастье — это состояние, а не пункт назначения. Оно заключается в приятных моментах, которые ты проживаешь вместе с близкими людьми.

7. Идея о несчастье?

А зачем о нём вообще думать? Нафиг плохие мысли, в мире и без того достаточно дерьма.

8. Если не быть собой, то кем?

Если, для того чтобы быть, надо делать вид, что ты кто-то другой, то лучше не быть совсем.

9. Где бы вы хотели жить?

В параллельном измерении, куда могу попадать только я, мои гости и курьеры. А если серьезно, то там, где максимально комфортно во всех сферах жизни.

10. Любимые писатели?

Макс Фрай, Рэй Бредбери, Артур Конан Дойл, Дуглас Адамс, Терри Пратчетт, Нил Гейман и множество других.

11. Любимые поэты?

У меня еще со школьных времён выработалась стойкая неприязнь к поэзии. Учить стихи наизусть было для меня настоящей пыткой. Поэтому таких нет.

12. К каким порокам чувствуете наибольшее снисхождение?

Лень — двигатель прогресса, я всегда это говорил. А ещё я люблю покушать.

13. К чему вы испытываете отвращение?

К людям, которые считают, что они чем-то лучше других и поэтому «заслуживают» к себе особого отношения.

14. Любимое блюдо, напиток?

Яйца в смятку с хлебом и сливочным маслом и кофе со сливками и миндальным сиропом.

15. Любимый литературный персонаж?

Странница Сэси Элиот

16. Состояние духа на текущий момент?

Хочется чего-нибудь новенького, например интересную книгу или новый проект.

17. Любимое изречение?

Если надо объяснять, то не надо объяснять.

I8. Какой способностью хотели бы обладать?

Видеть у всех людей над головой краткую характеристику, чтобы не тратить попусту кучу времени.

19. Как хотели бы умереть?

Неосознанно. По-моему нет ничего хуже, чем знать, что ты скоро умрешь и ничего не можешь с этим сделать.
