OK @auroraofthesun1 came to the conclusion after searching up bird ages:
Based on the system of infants, junoirs and then progressing to secondary school then 6th form we have in britain
Ages 3-6: hatchlings, learns no majic
Ages 7-11: nestling, only learns Basic Majic (so controlling light and darkness)
Ages 12-15: chick, learning light, dark and spellwork as well as potions
Ages 16-18: fledgling, learns advanced majic, prepping for a job
Graduation: full bird. Leaves education to pursue further education or leave school.q
#were so british#sondine#magic world#magic system#magic school#so anti jk rowling i make a whole new world to get the same rusb

#updated haircuts!!!#byler#stranger things#byler fanart#mike wheeler#will byers#artovna#the fact that there were times when I LOVED mike/el so much and now I just get sad every time I see them is crazy#no one talk to me about the l bloody smitten comment. sorry I briefly made you British in 2016 dustin#random fun fact: finn wolfhard liked that old artwork on instagram when I first posted it and I hadn’t even tagged him.#I’d tagged him in a few other mike wheeler pieces I’d done and I guess he was snooping 😆#back when the cast weren’t so popular and they were so little 😭#prom byler

I thought it'd be fun to make a map of where all the Hermits live irl and until now I didn't quite realize how much of the server is either British or American
#like I knew there were lots of brits and lots of americans but I didn't think there'd be THIS MANY#poor little pearl looks so lonely down in australia#it's a world map so doc looks like he's keeping a safe distance from keralis and iskall as well as the British Behemoth#hermitcraft#hermitblr

British people: these avocados must go they're past their prime please won't someone eat them
The avocados:
#British stores label avocados as ripe or not because people don't know how to tell by picking one up with their hands#these labels are almost always incorrect btw#we stayed with my in-laws for passover one year and I brought a bunch of avocados that were varying degrees of ripe so I could#have avocado on matzah for breakfast each day#and my mother in law just looked at the stickers saying they were ripe and freaked out that they were going to go bad and had to be eaten#and just served them to everyone for lunch on like day 2#without asking me!#I was so mad#half of them were decidely not ripe yet#for context: I have digestive issues and brought a lot of my own food to accommodate for it so she didn't have to#and you know how she served them? cut in half#on a plate#with a spoon#no salt no dressing no anything just eat half an avocado with a spoon#we went out and bought a bunch more the next day and I showed her how to tell which ones are ripe but I'm a salty bitch and I'm still mad#it's been like 3 years#also if one more Brit tells me they've made guacamole only to serve me a bowl of mashed avocado that saw a grain of salt once from a train#I will lose it

I’m an Alfred/Martha/Thomas truther. Like Alfred is a baddie in his 80s you all know he must have been a slice back in the day. And it is canon Martha and Thomas were smoke shows.
Like let hot people get it. Let hot men kiss while their wife turns mobsters kneecaps into flour with a baseball bat.
#I feel like with all those portraits in the manor teenage Bruce must have had that weird moment when he was like#‘why were my parents hotter than me at 16?’#y’all know what I mean you find a photo of like your grandparents when they were young and you have to know why your so crusty#but like nope apparently grandpa was an absolute chad#Bruce Wayne#Martha Wayne#Thomas Wayne#alfred pennyworth#I bet Martha was dog walking those men#her British Twink and Italian Bodybuilder#batman#batfam#like and imagine the kids reaction#they find a candid shot of young Alfred making out with Grandpa Tom?#they can’t handle the idea of Alfred getting so much play#rip to Martha and Thomas they are eating ass and smoking grass with the angels now#it’s for the best#the Gotham rogues would be found scalped if they were still kicking#gotham#jason todd#dick grayson#damian wayne#tim drake#dc batman

Still more important is the realization that all those generations of British people (largely men), who were educated in the classics, were being taught to understand and sympathize with the Greeks and Romans. When thinking of the long confrontation between the Celts and Romans, therefore they instinctively sided with the Romans. They would have all read Tacitus' warning: "Remember, they are barbarians..." For the Romans were seen as the bearers of civilization and the ancient Britons as the uncivilized.....
All manner of pressure was brought to bear to ensure that British schoolboys empathized with Rome. From the sixteenth century to the mid-twentieth, every educated person was required to learn Latin. Caesar and Tacitus were among the very first authors which all those pupils were obliged to read. Yet no one taught them anything about the Celts, let alone a Celtic language. Even today, when the teaching of classics in the United Kingdom has sharply declined and Celtic studies receive a measure of official support, for every British schoolchild that learns even a little about the native Celtic heritage, there are a hundred that still learn about the heritage of Rome.
A whole literary genre was devoted to strengthening the bond of identity between the modern Britons and the Ancient Romans. Any number of books and poems have been written to invite the reader to stand in Roman shoes, to put oneself shoulder to shoulder with the legions in the eternal struggle of civilization against barbarity.
-Norman Davies, The Isles
#So this book presents an interesting view of modern England that claims that Englands obsession with colonization imperialism and conquest#is directly descended from Britains own colonization by Rome#The modern Englishman according to Davies knows more about Greece and Rome than the pre Roman history of his own land#Even modern English people believe that the Celts Picts and Gauls (their own ancestors) were savage barbarians#whose conquest by the more “civilized” Romans was NECESSARY to make the isles civilized.#cycle of violence etc#colonization#colonialism#roman history#british history
