Honestly super hyped for Wednesday!

Can’t wait to see these two matches!

Wonder if swerve is going to come out and interfere like the bucks have been doing to him.

I need Hangman to win.

Maybe even hear something from Mox after that kick ass promo from Joe.

Order member ages

Just wanted to post this as its own thing for future reference. People often say Dumbledore recruits directly from Hogwarts, but it never seemed to line up with how old most of the members were...? So - I looked up who all the known members are! :)

First War:

Order was founded 1970 at the earliest - dissolved 1981. Earliest birthday possible: 1953, graduating 1970

S. Black, class of 78. R. Lupin, class of 78. P. Pettigrew, class of 78. J.+ L. Potter, class of 78. S. Snape, class of 78 E. Bones - Murdered w. wife + kids. Brother of the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Bones. M. Fletcher - already well integrated in Wizarding crime world. A.+ F. Longbottom - They would have been OLDER than the Potters as they were 'Prominent Aurors' and Auror training takes years to complete. A. Moody - Legendary Auror. Retired after this war. S. Podmore - Born 1956/1957, apparently…? G.+ F. Prewitt - Molly Weasley's brothers. E. Doge - Albus' schoolmate. Ab. Dumbledore - His brother. A. Figg - old Squib. R. Hagrid - He was 51 when Harry was born Unknown age estimate: C. Dearborn - Missing. D. Diggle. B. Fenwick - 'bits of him' were discovered. D. Meadowes - Personally killed by Voldemort, might mean he is a skilled adult. M. McKinnon - Killed 'with her whole family' E. Vance - 'stately looking with a green shawl' in the the 90s.

Note with the Longbottoms: They were 'Prominent Aurors' - which means they worked for the Ministry for some time. If they were born 1953, and thus graduated 1970 - they would only be 27 when Neville was born... giving them a little time to have built their careers while still being a younger couple. But was the Order formed right at the crack of the war...?

Second War:

F. Delacour - 95/96 at Gringotts, joined the order through Bill. H. Jones - Unknown age. Never mentioned to be at Hogwarts while Harry is there. N. Tonks - Adult, well into Auror training. C + B Weasley - Adult, well into their own careers. A + M Weasley - Born 1949/1950. M. McGonagall - I mean I suppose she was recruited from Hogwarts hey haha K. Shacklebolt - An Auror; my man became Minister of Magic F + G Weasley - 'Graduated' 95/96 - opened store H. Granger; R. Weasley - First mission seems to be when 17 H. Potter - Did some things with Albus at 16...? Unclear.

If I am missing anyone please add B^)

- Harry was doomed to face Voldemort anyway. Does he really count as an Order member...? He's more the reason the order exists. - Ron and Hermione are there in support of Harry - and only do things for the Order after Albus' death, when they are 17 and don't have much choice, they are hunted. Is it really 'joining the Order' when the order barely exists anymore...? - Fred and George... did they do any Order things before Albus' death...? Were they just running their shop, with their Mum breathing down their backs to not get involved? Unclear.

Notes to do with the second Order: Molly is against the children participating. Sirius, Lupin, probably some others but I can't remember are in support of it.

Albus Dumbledore was also against the children participating - especially in 95/96, where his whole deal was trying to keep them at school, safe - even though they weren't learning jack shit. It takes Harry having a meltdown, Sirius dying - and Dumbledore being cursed - for him to go "Fuck it... Harry, you should help. I gotta teach you before I die."

Observations about both Orders:

They both have a large group that come from one source. In the First War it was the Marauders, in the second the Weasleys.

They also share an 'Auror talent' that seem more affiliated with Moody than they do Albus: Tonks and the Longbottoms.

It makes sense that when one person joins others are likely to follow. The Weasley parents -> the Weasley kids -> Fleur. James, Sirius -> Peter, Remus, Lily -> Severus.

That's not really recruitment from school.

If I personally were to use the school to groom/recruit children to fight for me in a war: I would be trying to get the best from every year. I would be heavily encouraging kids from all year levels that show promise to take certain classes and learn certain spells... Then, I would assess them when they graduate: '71, '72, '73, '74, '75, '76, '77, '78 was a big year. '79, '80... A constant trickle. A couple of new people this year, one the next - and they are all likely to bring at least a friend along, too - right...?

Yet we don't really see that happen. It's just that one bumper crop from 78, that one friend group. Were there NO talented graduates in any other year...? Was ONLY Griffindor considered...?

There isn't exactly a 'skill requirement' to join the Order. You had people there just to source information. Remus did werewolf jobs. Peter Pete'd all over the place. There were min. 2 pregnancies...

They were losing people - if they needed quantity over quality, if they only really needed base loyalty and a good heart... why NOT recruit more students? And yet there's just one blip in 78.

That doesn't particularly scream 'groomed child soldiers' to me. BUT - there are 6 people from the first Order whose ages can't be estimated. Are they the missing child soldiers from the years before/after the Marauders? Dunno.

[flavorcrash]

gremie I beg you pls tell me some facts about Sam from CMH... also does Sam have an alphabet?

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

He’s cuddly and keeps a tight grip

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Sam likes his strong arms. For a partner; anything that has the most fat, in Fletcher’s case his ass and thighs. 

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

More interested seeing it on his partner than in

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He’s been pretty lonely but he still has his urges. He takes it out on something not so ideal. Or alive for that matter.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

He’s a virgin

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Not picky but doggy style

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

More serious and actually kind of terrifying

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Hairy like a bear

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

He doesn’t seem to understand how romance works and has a very degenerate way of showing his “love”

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Jerks off with used underwear

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Temperature play (cold specifically), Non-Con, Dacryphilia, Fear Play, Blood play, Gore, Cannibalism

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

I can’t say this one its spoilers :P

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Breathing by him tbh

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Unsanitary kinks like piss, shit, vomit for example. Also pregnancy kinks.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Receiving. Let’s pray he never gives oral not cause he sucks but he will literally bite his partner down there.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Fast, rough, sloppy, clearly the only one enjoying it, owie ow, ow that hurts

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He would do them so often if offered and doesn’t care when and where

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

So long as his partner is in danger and not himself

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Probably not that long but it doesn’t matter he’s really bad, it's more of a blessing that he doesn’t last long

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Doesn’t know sex toys even exist. Also a good thing.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Too desperate to tease

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Grunts, low moans, whimpering, whispering and rambles. He’s not that loud cause he’s always scared of disturbing people or being found.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

He doesnt bathe that much but if you fuck him in the shower that is the only motivator.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Cigar burn scars, calluses, lots of hair, bite marks (look like they’re from animals(?))

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

High

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Hours. He likes staring at his partner if they pass out

A man and woman from Columbia have pleaded guilty to federal hate crime charges after engaging in a crime spree targeting Hispanic people.

Gabriel Brunson, 20, and Sierra Fletcher, 33, both of Columbia, targeted people they identified as Mexican and Hispanic, sometimes tracking victims to their homes before robbing them at gunpoint, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Both defendants pleaded guilty to hate crimes for their involvement in a Jan. 22, 2021, armed robbery when they followed victims from a grocery store and restaurant to their home before robbing them at gunpoint, according to a statement released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for South Carolina. The pair stole cash and a cellphone.

“These defendants targeted Hispanic victims for violent acts of armed robbery because of their race, national origin and perceived vulnerability,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “No person should have to fear for their lives or property because of their race or national origin.”

The plea agreement, announced Thursday, was filed on Aug. 17. Fletcher, known as “Yella Flow” according to court records, also admitted to being involved in several other robberies on Jan. 30, 2021, including a carjacking and a home invasion of other Hispanic victims, according to prosecutors.

Brunson and Fletcher were also charged with conspiracy, federal robbery charges and carrying firearms in connection with those crimes.

“These were not crimes of opportunity. The defendants systematically robbed at gunpoint people whom they identified as Mexican or Hispanic,” said Assistant Director Luis Quesada of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division.

There is no law punishing hate crimes in South Carolina. As a result, it falls to federal prosecutors to charge cases that target victims because of identifies such as race, gender or sexual identity.

“Prosecuting civil rights crimes is a priority for our office,” said U.S. Attorney Adair Boroughs for the District of South Carolina. “Federal law recognizes that crimes targeting people of a particular race or national origin is particularly egregious, and we stand ready to enforce the national hate crimes law here in South Carolina.”

The plea agreements require both defendants to pay restitution. Sentencing in federal court does not take place immediately after the plea. A federal district court judge will determine a sentence based on federal sentencing guidelines and a presentence report prepared by the U.S. Probation Office.

The case was investigated by the FBI Columbia Field Office along with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Office.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ben Garner and Brook Andrews for the District of South Carolina and trial attorney Andrew Manns of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section are prosecuting the case.

Fletcher was represented by Andrew B. Farley. Brunson was represented by Aimee J. Zmroczek.
