Random Weasley headcanons because today was the first day of school so obviously I've had much time to think about things that aren't school!
Arthur Weasley loves birds. You can't convince me otherwise and that's mostly because I love birds but shush. He seems like a bird watcher.
He has tried to get the kids into it, but they just don't get it. Not even Percy can be convinced that birds aren't actually boring, they're so interesting!!
He brags that he does it the "muggle" way but he really doesn't. He has magical binoculars that auto focus on a bird or some shit. If he has the time he takes a broom and flies out to a good bird spotting place. He's sitting in the bushes with about sixty silencing and concealing charms up just to look at a common buzzard (AND I WOULD DO THE SAME)
Sorry I just really love birds. I can't promise this was the last bird thing I have a fic planned. Anyway!
Percy is always one of the first to be awake in the morning. (Excluding Arthur who is... at work)
He goes downstairs, gets some coffee or tea (do wizards have coffee???) and stares out of a window for a bit.
He's a window guy.
On the other side of the spectrum you have Ron. Who wakes up last and has to be woken up most of the time.
I'm not hating on Ron I swear, I love him.
Molly does that thing that all mothers do where she yells someone's name from downstairs. And then the child responds. And she doesn't.
Charlie Weasley can make a mean fried egg.
That's it that's the headcanon. He's the eggman.
Speaking of eggs. If there's boiled eggs, Fred takes the egg white while George takes the yolk. This has been their arrangement since they could communicate that they didn't want THAT part of the egg, only the other.
That's totally based on @bastaardsuiker and me though. I <3 projecting.
Whenever Ginny leaves one of her brother’s rooms, she turns the light on. Like the big light that no one uses unless they've lost something. I'm going to pretend that's possible without electricity.
Wait how do underage wizard's turn lights on? They can't use magic and they don't have electricity (which is fucking stupid but okay)
Do they have magic circuits?
They have magic circuits now I've decided that.
Sorry another bird headcanon.
If there's a bird sitting in the window or something, Arthur will shush everyone. And everyone must listen. Because guys there's a coal tit on the window!
Yes that's an actual bird name. Why are English bird names so weird? Wdym woodCOCK? Coal TIT? Blue footed BOOBY?
Fred and George use bird names to get away with saying bad words.
They learned that from Bill.
Well. That's kinda all I have. It's mostly birds, I'm not sorry. This is my blog and I decide how much bird content there is <3

If you were to ask me why I hope someday that all countries have free and democratic political systems, I would say it is because I think those systems produce better outcomes, are more likely to contribute to human flourishing, and reflect values like equality that I prize. But in my heart of hearts, there is another, secret reason: I love reading about the weird fucked up political parties in different countries on Wikipedia.
#like Nepal with all its maoists#or Ireland with its two competing center right parties#tbh Europe has kind of perfected this art#by holding low turnout supranational elections#that give absolute weirdos a chance to shine in the European parliament

as an american, sam reid’s total inability to hide his contempt for overly fake-chipper american journalists, especially ones who Have Not Done The Assigned Reading know and care about the show, will never not be hilarious and iconic to me
#sometimes he can dial it back to civil blank apathy#but i have never laughed and cringed like that at the same time#sorry we’re so fake bro we’re just Like That#his frank tiredness with unoriginal or dumb questions is kinda refreshing#i think we first got it full-blast with It’s What’s Written In The Books last season#after 5K ‘why is it gay’ questions#but that latest Dish tv interview where the journo joked they thought he was dead holy fuck#defcon 1 levels of Done#it’s sort of fascinating since generally all celebrities play along with any interviewing atrocities they suffer though#american fakeism is the lowest bar to endure but the man is just a wall#lol don’t lose that sir#iwtv#interview with the vampire#okay no sorry this is my ted talk—#i mean he’s not alone frex some european actors in particular seem to pull out their best acting chops when#faced with shrilly chipper american interviewers#though sometimes you can catch the horror in their eyes#and hugh grant epically blanked that one effusive interviewer on the red carpet at the oscars the yr before last#and was almost assigned 40 lashes in the court of public opinion#(until will smith sucked all the oxygen out of the room)#but sam reid is just full stop not going to reflect back. it’s…kind of awesome and not a little brave in this biz#anyway this has been my ted talk#saluting an icon 🫡

number #1 tactic that people use to not sound as racist as they are when they talk to black people: 'uhh so you AMERICANS need to stop pretending everything is about YOU. why should i know this im not from the us :/' (= is talking about like. a phenomenally internationally well-known black artist)
#myposts#kendrick lamar#drake#i updated it from 'white europeans' to 'people' because some people pointed out that 'gringo' is probably more south american lingo#but the point i wanted to make is like. there is this subset of european people (quite a lot of them)#who try to deflect by saying them not knowing these things isn't because of an active lack of disinterest in black culture and influences#and like. them not knowing who a certain black person is is never an educational failing on their side of any sorts#but instead are pretending that like. they are by virtue of being european always correctly educated on What History And Art Is Important#like. 2 months back that one post pretending that 'us europeans dont need to know all your AMERICAN writers 🙄' talking about james baldwin?#like just because that person didnt know who james baldwin was#they immediately were mad at the implication that They Didn't Know Someone Of Cultural Significance#and twisted it into 'well he cant be that important by virtue of me not knowing him'#like completely ignoring that the european school system also has. race problems and also ignoring that he lived and wrote in France too#but like. its this really racist defence mechanism of like. 'well you stupid americans always make everything about yourselves'#i hope i make sense i didnt think this would blow up lol#and like some people in the notes of that post were so smug about not knowing who Kendrick Lamar is#bc to them thats like 'oh im too cultured to be listening to rap of any sorts' like completely dismissing his music as kind of second class#by virtue of it being rap and black music and him not being in the White Mainstream as much as other musicians#(i mean hes still like 24th most listened artist worldwide but you get what i mean)

I think adults who “joke” about how they want to verbally abuse, beat up or kill misbehaving children for annoying them should die painfully, actually. especially the ones who grew up in abusive households and advocate for such abuse to continue because they think a child treated kindly will become “bratty”. Any time you think that children aren’t an oppressed group ask someone if they think a child will become spoiled if they aren’t beaten or if physical violence is child abuse or just “corporal punishment”
#actual sugar post#also#“that’s just Asian parents” “my Hispanic household” “that’s how Eastern European moms are” like#those kinds of statements really make me think that child abuse is normalized around the globe#children’s rights#children are people#youth liberation

A sentence that I cannot say among my musical circle because I'd be bullied immediately: European musicals are ten times better than Broadway ones 😔
#'it's a huge amount of proshots isn't it?' - WELL YEAH THAT TOO.#it's kind of funny how eurasia basically gatekeeps musicals from america... heh... or is it the other way around..?#and you know what? that's probably for the best.#why am I saying eurasia? cause the amount of productions japan and korea did of euromusicals is insane. I'm not even mentioning china tours#european musicals#to hell with it. I will list the ones that come to mind first.#romeo et juliette#mozart l'opera rock#elisabeth das musical#tanz der vampire#le rouge et le noir#le roi soleil#rebecca das musical#notre dame de paris#szentivánéji álom#норд-ост#okay that one was very personal#монте-кристо мюзикл#мастер и маргарита мюзикл#демон онегина#la légende du roi arthur#les trois mousquetaires

man i love the spanish language. ¿me lo coges? is a normal question. ¿me la coges? is a funny question that implies a dick joke. they both translate to 'will you hold it for me?' in english.
#and this is in european spanish#in most of latin america the verb coger means 'to fuck' so you could also read it as 'will you fuck it for me?'#anyways these are the kinds of stuff i think about before going to sleep#good night :)

Happy summer, everybody!
This has been a big project to take and while there's stuff to improve I'm pretty happy with it. Be sure to zoom in the big picture for details and read the comic from left to right. (Needless to say, please don't try A.B.A's behaviour.. For your safety)
Bonus doodle:
#a.b.a#paracelsus#slayer#guilty gear#I almost forgot slayer's shirt pattern! I was also supposed to draw his cape floating over sharon to shield her from the sun but...#this whole drawing collection took roughly a month to complete and I forgot. I'm too tired right now#speaking of. it's my first time drawing sharon I hope she's okay!#yes slayer carries and wears in the nose his 200 spf sunscreen from xrds treasure hunt animation :)#as for the big main picture. it left me quite exhausted and I know the lighting leaves a lot to be desired but I'm proud! learnt a lot#first time drawing blue para too. I hope his metallic sheen is alright#more than aba's skin sheen for sure. I'll improve it in the future! btw tweaked a bit her attire's palette from last time and made her keep#the headband cause trying to figure out how her hair would properly fall was a hassle lmao#fun fact: the bird is an european herring gull#the crab is an edible crab and the palm trees are coconut palm trees with no fruit lol#I wanted to draw fan palms which are a kind of palm tree that deserves more love but the leaf shape was so difficult to draw#I did struggle a lot with these two.. they look more like feathers but again. that can be studied and improved in the future#despite all the lows summertime can have for me whenever it's a nice day and we can go to the beach I feel everything is worth it and will#be okay. hope I could translate that here. hi new people I tend to ramble a lot in my post tags#art tag2b named#sharon
