Fun idea I’ve had bouncing around about Remus:

You know how queer/neurodivergent kids have that one teacher that they bond to? You know what I’m talking about- you’ve seen the memes about the gay kid and the English/art teacher bond.

I like to imagine that Remus just has a tiny group of kids who hung out in his classroom to feel safe.

He would leave his door open constantly and during lunch, he would offer to call a house elf for hot chocolate, tea, biscuits or other sweets for the kids. If he noticed one of his kids doesn’t eat lunch, he would quietly pull them to the side and ask what was up.

The kids would talk to him abt literally anything under the sun. Some would even go and ask for help for other classes (quite a few for potions, none of which were slytherins)

He’d have a small bowl of pride pins and flags up for grabs on his desk which his kids occasionally take, always causing him to give a little smile to the kid.

I don’t know. I just image Remus as the designated safe teacher. He’d be the one to notice a kid struggling and offer help or ask what’s wrong. He’d be the one that students go to when they have problems at home, were being bullied or just needed someone to talk to.

the more they show of miles the funnier the whole situation w jack's beef is they've been ~friends for like 20 years and he has NO idea jack hates him? interesting

[itspileofgoodthings]

the funniest bag me and the students will sometimes be in is I’ll be poised to speak on something and I’ll start to and then I’ll say “no maybe I should wait until you’ve read a bit more/we’re farther along” (or something like that) and they’ll be like “no no! Say it now!”

Interlibrary loaning two books in a series is like

Book 2: almost instantly filled and sent out and arrives promptly

Book 1: some potential lender strings you on for like a week before finally admitting they can't supply it, request currently stuck in limbo, will probably arrive while I'm out of town later this month or something

just finished the Focalors execution cutscene and we’re about to face the whale. Had to pause and write down my thoughts because the religious symbolism here has me in a CHOKEHOLD

Fucking primordial water in the Oceanid’s veins to turn them human is what turns them back again? This is my body and blood?? Remember you were water and to water you shall return????

Moreover there is literally a character with the title “The Father.” Navia’s grief for her father is a constant theme. Do you see the vision here.

Hydro elements consists of three central figures, two intrinsically linked as the same person, split into humanity and divinity. The first created the second who suffers under the burden of holding faith in the first. One sacrifices herself with a device that suspiciously resembles a crucifix (or guillotine. Sigh. French people) to return power to the third.

Then he VERBATIM fucking goes and FORGIVES THE NATION’S ORIGINAL SIN?? Now he’s about to go face the LEVIATHAN???

brb I guess I’m adding “allegory for Christ” to the reasons I love Neuvillette so much….

Edit: The flood came. As in The fucking Flood From Noah’s Ark. walking on water casting the nets etc. the disciples were fishermen. FUCKING. PURIFICATION BY THE WATER?? BAPTISM, HELLO PEOPLE????

it's been over a whole month since i had a stupid argument with my parents about driving, a skill that i legally possess but hate doing because i have a special brain illness that makes me fear death and injury, but i'm still chewing over an absurd claim that it's "equally dangerous to go on a 14 hour train ride like you just did". literally how is that more dangerous. in what way. in what world. public transport is nice and good and i like it and i don't have to enter my personal torment nexus

Unpopular take but in a strange way LoP taught me more than a lot of story based games who are supposed to teach you something.

I think of the importance of words when it comes to Lilith. She fled the garden by saying God's name, or rather the ineffable name which some argue is the Tetragramaton.

Since my Lilith is incapable of creating words on her own, speaking a word that she wasn't told about, but still owned could come as an epiphany from the subconscious mind. Given her abstract thinking, and the fact that she was 'surrounded' by malevolent spirits in the Garden, it wouldn't be far off if she somehow managed to grasp the correct way of saying the ineffable name, which would have granted her the ability to exit Eden.

I'm still brainstorming it, but it would be along the lines of the gates opening for her. The name is supposed to have transformed her into the primordial she-demon, but I'm not sure I want to go in that direction with this interpretation. I would say, at most, she was granted some sort of spiritual bypass into the outside world. Perhaps, her being able to enable herself to escape enhanced her ability to enable others to escape from their own shackles hence the start/continuation of the rebellion on Earth. Don't think she realized the scale of it. After all, she was just a human without any prior understanding of what was going on.

**The name is reminiscent to me as something that you announce yourself as. It does mean "I am that I am" which does enable you to become or rather embody something new, or to claim that which you know that you are. New Age stuff runs with this as well. I suppose it can corrupt one when they aren't fully aware of the way you use the forbidden name. This is something I have a bit of trouble putting into HCs because it can get pretty disrespectful to the practiced religions.

The information is all there… Gepetto’s footprints are left everywhere, easily retraceable… He has his private workshop right behind the train car you wake up in, with schematics and blueprints hung up…

Who’s stopping Carlo from just bringing it all to Venigni and saying “Bring my bff back please, thank you”?????????
