On the Pottermore website, J.K. Rowling explains how wizards poop. There’s an excerpt about the Chamber of Secrets that says wizards didn’t need toilets because they ‘simply relieved themselves where they stood, and vanished the evidence.’ Source Source 2

Frequently I encounter non Native folks who tell me they think reservations are some form of reparatoins to Natives from the US government. I even had someone close to me tell me they thought reservations were places to “reserve” our cultures.

Where I’m from (South Dakota) reservations were concentration camps where they sent us to die after they stole and colonized all of the land every US citizen occupies. In the early SD Rez days our ppl had to get permission from district agents (white settler men) to get food, fix our homes, or even leave our community to travel to another community on our Rez to visit relatives. We couldn’t hunt cuz they killed millions of our buffalo. If we didn’t get permission from the white settler agent we couldn’t eat, fix our homes or visit relatives because we would be violating US law & could be arrested. Also our cultures & ceremonies were illegal under US law until the Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978.

So plz educate the ppl you love and care abt because everyone in the USA is living in an illegal settler colony, Indigenous ppl survived their genocide & we’re her to say these settlers never gave af abt us & never will.

Want to flesh-out that vague idea of a person who’s been bouncing around in your dome piece? 

Here! Have a handy checklist:

Name, age

Sex, gender, gender expression

Physical appearance; how the character feels about their physical appearance

Race, class, ethnicity

Childhood experience - family relationships, friends and key figures, lifestyle, education, activities and interests

Education level, intelligence level, military service (if applicable)

Attitudes and moral beliefs

Current relationships - parents, siblings, romantic partners, friends, children, etc.

Sex life; attitude and feelings about sex

Religious background and current religious beliefs

Occupation; relationship to boss and coworkers

Hobbies and non-work activities

Political views

Main aspects of personality - introvert vs. extrovert, pessimist vs. optimist, thinking vs. feeling, and the like

What are they proud of? Ashamed of?

State of health

Fears

Sense of humor

Core characteristic

Inherent contradiction - the most interesting characters are already in conflict with themselves

In addition to these twenty items, you can ask yourself loads of bizarre questions like, “What would you write on their tombstone?” and “How would they react to a Japanese game show?” but I find this checklist to be the best place to start building real, solid groundwork that leads to a firm character, rather than a list of “fun facts” of likes and dislikes.

Two final items to consider:

What is the best thing that could happen to this character that could turn out to be the worst?

What is the worst thing that could happen to this character that could turn out to be the best? 

These bits and bobs should help you on your way. Remember: you can never know too much about your character. 

Happy constructing!

and how she smiled and how she laughed, the maiden of the tree, she spun away and said to him, no featherbed for me. i’ll wear a gown of golden leaves, and bind my hear with grass, but you can be my forest love, and me your forest lass.
