my main fear when shifting to my hunger games Dr isn’t the constant running and hiding from the Capitol, not the potential of my loved ones and me dying, not even the three sexy and dangerous men that are vowing for my attention.

im afraid ill accidentally reference old memes while flirting and they wont fuvking understand any of it

[turnbacktomorrow]

Lucky Cat I need you please Lucky Cat give me some of your luck

This is the lucky clover cat. reblog this in 30 seconds & he will bring u good luck and fortune.

[turnbacktomorrow]

im writing my Hunger Games DR into a fanfiction and its gonna be the best dark romance/why choose/reverse harem story you’ve ever heard.

[turnbacktomorrow]

why have one s/o in my DR when i can have three

[turnbacktomorrow]

not shifting related but my twin sister’s boyfriend’s nieces came over and looked at my collection of figurines and said “you’re too old for toys” and I literally felt like Ariel defending her collection against King Triton like “you don’t UNDERSTAND”

[turnbacktomorrow]

your pfp reminds me of my marauders-ish era dr self

that’s so cool! my pfp is supposed to be my hunger games dr self! i usually change my pfp to be me in the dr that im most actively trying to shift to atm. in this case its the hunger games.

[turnbacktomorrow]

“you can’t do this” “you can’t do that” “you’re this is you script that”

last time I checked you aren’t in my DR. maybe worry about yourself and YOUR OWN DR and then you’ll actually shift instead of being miserable.

whenever i see people POLICING other people's drs, i js gotta think to myself....THE ENTITLEMENT?? like unless you are the one who transports my ass to my dr (yes i know it doesnt work like that, but this is for hypothetical reasons or wtv), please ZIP YA MOUTH!! silence thy breath because i DO NAWT WANNA HEAR IT 🙄 because fym i cant script that im the prettiest person alive & the main character of my dr

[turnbacktomorrow]

if y'all wanna hear about my Squid Game dr, which is pretty crazy. I'll gladly talk about it. Just lemme know because MMMM IS IT TASTY

[turnbacktomorrow]

sorry i havne't posted BUT

I literally almost shifted 3 times in a row 3 different times trying to shift to my Squid Game DR?! And then the day after all that I got all these angel numbers?? I know the universe doesn't make you shift, but if the universe isn't tell me i'm gonna very soon then yeaaaa.

[turnbacktomorrow]

──── ★ baby im jealous with the squid game men ────

teaser they don’t like seeing you with someone else !

starring inho, gihun, the recruiter, sangwoo, junho, daeho, thanos x gn!reader genre fluff, some crack a/n requests open btw

inho / youngil / the frontman

needy old kitten i said what i said

guard accidentally touching you? fired. player talking to you? eliminated. vip getting a little too friendly? kicked escorted out of the event

the way you can literally hear him grumbling yapping behind that mask 😭✋🏻

“they’re clearly here for you and not the games”

if you’re his assistant he’ll start scheduling pointless meetings just to get you to spend some more time with him.

“the inventory report needs review”

“inho we reviewed it yesterday”

“we’ll double check it then”

rants on the pa system literally barking at guards to get that vip to gtfo from your range

if you’re a player with him… yea that guy who just complimented your running skills after the first game never spoke to you after that ever again

crazy part is he doesn’t even do much

just silently staring into the soul of the person who’s trying to chat you up

“oh don’t mind me. continue.”

spoiler alert: they don’t continue.

he’ll feel guilty for feeling this way, you’re your own person, you shouldn’t be having to deal with his possessiveness !

so he gets you your fav snack or your shopping cart items WE LOVE A THOUGHUTFL MAN

gihun

my little wet rat

he’s so obviously sulking around you, pouting and shit like a highschooler ong

he’ll try to “subtly” get between you and whoever’s stealing your attention

“oh hey !! :D didn’t see you there. so what’re we talking about again?”

when you continue to speak to the other person, he’ll get overly affectionate out of nowhere

when the other person leaves, he’ll start making absurd lies up about the other person

“you know they eat cereal with water right?”

“gihun please stop”

“what? im just saying—”

but can you blame him? he’s just hoping you’ll notice and reassure him !

if you don’t, he’ll eventually mumble something like “you like them more than me?”

he’ll feel genuinely insecure at times, and even though he’ll try to play it cool he’ll end up blurting out “you’re not going anywhere right? like leaving me?”

when you laugh it off and tell him there’s no competition, he gets all bashful and apologizes profusely

but he still grins like a dork

the recruiter / salesman

100% challenges them to ddakji

you try to stop the other person from agreeing but they’re like meh whats the worst that can happen

slap slap chop chop 🤚🏻

then he starts shamelessly flirting in front of the other person if they still havent left that is

“have i told you today just how gorgeous you look? no wonder people can’t keep their eyes off you”

he’s so disrespectful 2.0 🙂‍↔

“you’re not thinking of trading me for a lesser offer are you?”

spoiler alert: you can’t

when you bring this incident up again he’ll laugh and kiss your knuckles

“some games i refuse to lose. you’re one of them”

sangwoo

this bitch

he wants to act high and mighty and prove to you that he’s better, smarter and 10000x hotter than the person you’re talking to

“oh really? that’s your opinion? it’s statistically inaccurate”

nerd ass; he’s literally acting like that one emoji 🤓☝🏻

he’s so disrespectful too LMFAOO like interrupting your convos like he’s so bored

“can we move on?” he’ll roll his eyes “some of us have actual work to do”

 he hates bringing up his snu education but he’s gotta show you he’s better somehow lol he’ll do gihun’s work then

his jealousy is more subtle tho

he’ll make excuses to pull you away, like asking for your opinion on some renoir painting bro

he’ll get snappy or short with you if he starts feeling insecure

when you tell him to cut that shit out he apologizes

you hold hands in public for the next 3 hours

junho / detective

for someone who’s a detective you’d have thought he’d have mastered his body language and shit

but he’s absolutely terrible at hiding his jealousy

sulking in a corner, arms crossed, head down

if you call him to introduce himself to the other person he’ll look at you with this dramatic ass look

someone would think you just asked for his kidney (lol)

literally scowling at the other person

“oh you know them?” he wont spare a glance at the other person and turn to you to begin his rant “how long have you known them? what’s their star sign? are they blind? do they have any idea how horrible their haircut is?”

he’ll be around you, fixing your coat buttons and constantly touching you

not to show that you’re his (well kinda but not entirely) but more as if to find comfort in you

daeho

ok now hear me out on this one

daeho doesn’t mean to scare people away, but just the loss of his bunny smile scares people

like imagine seeing a cute ass man suddenly stop grinning? that’s scary ok?

he doesn’t really know what to do so he’s just standing there like 🧍🏻‍♂️

he’s not gonna leave you though, and you’re gonna have to assure him you’re not gonna leave him either

he’ll pat pat your hand and if you grasp his, he’s gonna look at the other person triumphantly

as if screeching I WIN BITCH

if they continue to annoy him though, a few minutes later they’re gonna realize they suddenly lost their wallet or phone

damn i wonder where it went

and you’re just looking at him as if telling him to behave 

when you confront him about his jealousy he’s gonna deny it repeatedly 

he acts so tough grumbling “i dont care”

but you see the way he cuddles with you the whole night

no breathing space for you at all

but you don’t mind

thanos

raps. i won’t have it any other way.

this man, whenever he feels a teensy bit of emotion he begins rapping out of nowhere about it

“yo step back ay you lame as fuck can’t see? they’re with me, we not free, yea i am the mvp”

it’s terrible. awful. 

you freeze, quite literally, out of the second hand embarrassment

in public too 😭 this man has no shame

loudly starts beatboxing when the other person asks who he is

“who’s that clown? u need a diss track on u now?”

get away from that person now before he starts singing dramatic love songs to you in the middle of walmart

poke pokes your cheek when they leave seeing how embarrassed he made you but again this man has no shame so why are we even here atp

“was worried you’d forget me” he sighs “but you didn’t, so im good now”

will write a cringe ass love song to you and rap it till you forgive him

i seriously cannot make this shit up

elephant in the room 🐘

rant about the state of online shifting; "get-it-off my chest" moment

part 1. scripting trauma/ being a bad person in a dr how many people are really doing "bad things" or scripting in trauma in their dr? lets be so fucking for real here. why is it that everytime someone "morally corrupt" it gets exposed months apart and the "culprit" is some small ass account with like ten followers? its not common. and im not saying it never happens. but shiftok is always on about these people and im like...who tf are yall talking about? they find one bad apple and then decide the whole community needs to be reminded how fucked up it is to do xyz.

i mean lets be realistic, how many people are going out of their way to script something traumatic or harmful? the majority of the online community (reddit, tumblr, tiktok) always talks about shifting for their s/o, adventure, frienships, family or a better life in some way. how many people are deliberately scripting to harm themselves or others? and is the number really so much that we need thinkpiece after thinkpiece about it?

aand when others behave immorally or get traumatized in their dr they will experience it. they will see the effects of any bad things they do to others. they will feel the trauma first hand and suffer from what theyve scripted in many ways. we dont need to punish these people. their dr will do it for them.

P. S what about when you shift to a dr like the walking dead? or even mha and keep in the war arc? thats traumatic. hell, even an idol / fame dr can be traumatic and those are hella common! yet nobody bats an eye or reprimands it...odd...

part 2. racebending race doesnt exist. i saw a shiftoker (a white one too??) act like someone was crazy for saying it! the whole concept was created by europeans! white mans burden, race based social classes, and eugenics all seems natural to yall? i mean logically its not odd to anyone that modern racial concepts were made by the same group of people in the same time period...? the time period people needed excuses to kill, rape, steal from and enslave other groups... search up "who created race" and then report back to me..anyways..

name one good thing that splitting people up and assigning them identities based on their background does for us? its caused mocking of those that dont fit the mold their race gives them, harmful views of other because of their racial group(s) and low self esteem from outside perceptions of your race. oh and division among groups on top of everything. so what is the point of holding on to race? abandon it! shift to be white, asian, black, indigenous, do what you want! youre not "changing your race" until you shift to become a different species (and theyres obvi nothing wrong w that!).

and some people say "if you script your another race your downplaying the racism poc face" but not every country has the same type of racism the states has. not every country is even as racist as the states. for example if im shifting to be fully south korean born & raised, and live full time in south korea, its not likely ill experience racism. and even so you can just...script out racism? like what...some people literally hate shifters who dont script out racism and expect everyone to script it out, but then turn to say that they cant change their race because of racism...huh? genuinely dont get that.

P. S im only really preaching abandonment of race so flippantly in regard to shifting. in this reality we're kinda stuck with it at this point lol.

P.S.S and it seems shifters from the usa hate racebending the most! as an american, i wonder how much of that is being intimidated that the concept of a racial hierarchy, that our nation has been built upon for centuries, can be shattered so easily...and therefore obviously proves it as obsolete. food for thought. (half joking here teehee)

HOGWARTS DR : ADVANCED GUIDE FOR THRIVING AND SLAYING (AND NOT LOSING YOUR DIGNITY)

WELCOME... to HRRTSHAPE' HOGWARTS GUIDE on how to not become the main target of hexes and the allegations of social suicide. let's start.

‧₊˚ ┊   TABLE OF CONTENTS :

⋆ tips for surviving without becoming castle gossip.

⋆ essential items: the packing list of legends.

⋆ hogwarts style: house chic or timeless wizarding glam?

⋆ people to watch out for (or befriend, if you're brave enough).

⋆ secret spots you have to visit (with gossip attached).

⋆ how to avoid total embarrassment.

⋆ romantic shenanigans: hogwarts edition.

⋆ cultural notes for magical etiquette.

⋆ extra credit (unhinged ideas you'll thank yourself for later).

⋆ the one-for-all guide to teachers, classes, and your energy.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR ONE. TIPS FOR SURVIVING WITHOUT BECOMING CASTLE GOSSIP.

⋆ ৎ DO NOT ANNOY FILCH. EVER . ݁˖

this one’s obvious, but listen: filch has nothing better to do than make your life miserable. if you track mud into the castle, get caught out past curfew, or—even worse—laugh at mrs norris, expect him to be on you faster than peeves on a first-year. be invisible, and maybe toss mrs norris a treat if you’re feeling brave.

⋆ ৎ DON'T TRUST THE 5TH YEARS . ݁˖

if a group of 5th years starts grinning like they’ve discovered the meaning of life and then ask you to “just go say hi to that one painting,” run. the portrait by the ravenclaw dorms will insult your mum, and you’ll never recover.

⋆ ৎ PEEVES IS NOT YOUR FRIEND . ݁˖

oh, look at miss Y/N, thinking befriending peeves will give you some sort of immunity from his chaos. FALSE. he will turn on you the moment it’s entertaining enough. the only way to survive him is to always carry stink pellets or dungbombs—bribery works better than charm.

⋆ ৎ BEWARE THE GREAT HALL'S TREACLE TART . ݁˖

sure, it’s delicious, but the house-elves like to switch up the recipes. one batch might leave you feeling nostalgic, while another may make you spill your deepest secrets to the person sitting next to you. proceed with caution.

⋆ ৎ STICK TO THE MAIN STAIRCASES . ݁˖

the hidden staircases can save you time—or ruin your week. if it’s moving during a bad mood, it’ll take you to a broom cupboard and lock you in there for 20 minutes. always check if it's feeling cheeky before you commit.

⋆ ৎ DON'T CHALLENGE SNAPE UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH . ݁˖

this applies whether he’s a student or professor in your era. sarcasm is his love language, but trust me, you don’t want to out-sass him unless you're ready to wake up covered in boils or accidentally transfigure your nose into a beak.

⋆ ৎ VISIT THE KITCHENS AT LEAST ONCE . ݁˖

say "tickle the pear" in the painting by the kitchen entrance, and you'll meet the house-elves who run hogwarts. they’re absolute legends and might even sneak you some pumpkin pasties to keep you fuelled during long library sessions.

⋆ ৎ RESPECT HAGRID'S CREATURES. . . FROM A DISTANCE . ݁˖

if he says the blast-ended skrewts are "misunderstood," believe him. and then stand very far away.

⋆ ৎ KEEP YOUR WAND IN TOP SHAPE . ݁˖

it’s not cute or quirky to blow off cleaning or checking your wand—especially if you’re duelling or brewing experimental potions. a wonky wand means you’ll probably set your own eyebrows on fire. then you'll be known as the person who set their eyebrows on fire. lame, dude.

⋆ ৎ THE LIBRARY IS SACRED . ݁˖

if you mess with madam pince’s books or speak above a whisper in her territory, you’re as good as dead. respect the rules or prepare for her death glare (scarier than any unforgivable curse).

⋆ ৎ BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU SAY TO THE PORTRAITS . ݁˖

they talk, they gossip, and they have no loyalty to you whatsoever. if you insult the fat lady after a few too many butterbeers, you’ll wake up with every password in gryffindor tower mysteriously reset.

⋆ ৎ DON'T MIX PUMPKIN JUICE WITH FIRE-WHISKEY . ݁˖

it may sound harmless, but trust me, you’ll end up crying in the owlery over why your owl doesn’t write back to you.

⋆ ৎ KEEP YOUR SOCKS FROM DOBBY (IF APPLICABLE) . ݁˖

if you’re in the potter era, guard your socks with your life. he means well, but unless you’re actively trying to free him, don’t let him near your laundry.

⋆ ৎ AVOID MOANING MYRTLE'S BATHROOM UNLESS YOU'RE READY FOR SOME TRAUMA . ݁˖

she’s sweet, bless her, but the girl has no filter and will spill all your secrets to anyone who walks in after you. also, you might stumble into a snake-speaking chamber of doom. not worth it.

⋆ ৎ NEVER CHALLENGE A SLYTHERIN AT WIZARD'S CHESS . ݁˖

slytherins never lose, and if they do, it’s because they’ve rigged it to explode in your face. play at your own risk.

⋆ ৎ BE CAREFUL AROUND THE FORBIDDEN FOREST . ݁˖

this one's obvious, but listen—if you must enter, never go alone. even the centaurs have their limits when it comes to student foolishness.

⋆ ৎ NEVER, EVER AGREE TO PLAY “DUNG-BOMB TAG” WITH THE WEASLEYS . ݁˖

you’ll think it’s all fun and games until filch is chasing you with a mop, and peeves is narrating your downfall to the entire castle. you’ll smell like troll armpit for weeks.

⋆ ৎ THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT LOVES DRAMA . ݁˖

need a safe space? want to practise spells? sure, the room will show up sometimes. but if you’ve been messy with your intentions lately (like wishing for revenge on that slytherin who hexed your hair green), it’ll spit you out somewhere embarrassing instead. be clear.

⋆ ৎ ALWAYS, ALWAYS BE NICE TO THE HOUSE-ELVES . ݁˖

if you’re rude to them, they won’t poison you (probably), but your food might suddenly taste a bit bland. that’s the closest thing to a crime at hogwarts, honestly. butterbeer pie with no butter? go apologise, immediately.

⋆ ৎ DON’T DRINK BUTTERBEER BEFORE FLYING LESSONS . ݁˖

madame hooch will end you if you throw up mid-air. (side note: if you’ve had one too many and end up puking in the astronomy tower instead, clean it up before snape gets wind.hHe can smell guilt from a mile away.)

⋆ ৎ THE FROGS IN THE GREENHOUSE CAN AND WILL STAGE A COUP . ݁˖

they’re adorable, yes, but if professor sprout warns you not to touch them, listen. one misstep, and you’ll be running from a stampede of angry frogs. sprout can only do so much.

⋆ ৎ STAY OUT OF 7TH-YEAR BUSINESS . ݁˖

if a 7th year asks you to deliver “a small parcel” to professor slughorn, just say no. it’s either a cursed love potion or something far worse (like an essay they didn’t finish). either way, you’ll be caught in the crossfire.

⋆ ৎ NEVER UNDER-ESTIMATE THE POWER OF A HOWLER . ݁˖

if you receive one, DO NOT open it in the great hall unless you want to be the talk of the castle for a week. open it in private, and for merlin’s sake, pretend you didn’t cry.

⋆ ৎ THE BLACK LAKE IS NOT FOR CASUAL SWIMS . ݁˖

oh, so you want to be “whimsical and mysterious,” floating on the water under the moonlight? you fool.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR TWO. ESSENTIAL ITEMS : THE PACKING LIST OF LEGENDS.

⋆ ৎ WAND MAINTENANCE KIT . ݁˖

because snapping your wand mid-DADA class is the magical version of showing up without pants.

⋆ ৎ SELF WARMING COAT . ݁˖

keeps you toasty during late-night astronomy tower chills (and the inevitable drama).

⋆ ৎ A PRACTICAL PAIR OF BOOTS . ݁˖

those hogwarts staircases aren’t forgiving. don’t let a 6th-year charm your ankle brace into glitter.

⋆ ৎ ENCHANTED DIARY . ݁˖

doubles as a spell tracker, emotional venting zone, and spell-proof secret keeper. just don’t name it tom.

⋆ ৎ REUSABLE QUILLS . ݁˖

don’t get caught buying another quill in hogsmeade after your third one breaks. it’s giving “disorganised.”

⋆ ৎ SNACKS FROM HONEYDUKES . ݁˖

emergency peppermint toads = survival during double potions.

⋆ ৎ ANTI-STAIN POTION . ݁˖

spilled pumpkin juice and potion explosions? icon behaviour is looking FLAWLESS after disaster.

⋆ ৎ HOUSE SCARF &&& GLOVES . ݁˖

not optional—unless you want [rofessor mcgonagall roasting you about hypothermia.

⋆ ৎ A DECOY LETTER FROM HOME . ݁˖

for those moments when you need to dodge nosy friends or professors. “my mum said i’m grounded for duelling in the great hall…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR THREE. HOGWARTS STYLE : HOUSE CHIC OR TIMELESS WIZARDING GLAM?

⋆ ৎ HOUSE AESTHETIC BASED . ݁˖

GRYFFINDOR : cosy, bold reds and gold accents. think wool jumpers, leather boots, and casual confidence. SLYTHERIN : effortless sophistication. emerald green satin, silver jewellery, and the occasional snake motif. RAVENCLAW : intellectual chic—cardigans, argyle, and quirky charms. (expect a bookbag overflowing with enchanted books.) HUFFLEPUFF : comfy yet cute. chunky knitwear, soft yellows, and a pair of well-loved trainers for herbology.

⋆ ৎ OCCASION-SPECIFIC LOOKS . ݁˖

HOGSMEADE TRIP : layers!!! think trench coats, scarves, and a colour palette matching the season. bonus: a tote for sneaking in honeydukes loot. QUIDDITCH GAMES : your house scarf is mandatory, but don’t skip gloves for waving to your crush when they score. YULE BALL : GO BIG. vintage robes, statement necklaces, and spell-proof heels for dancing (or stepping on toes).

⋆ ৎ BONUS : add enchanted accessories—a brooch that hums, earrings that glow, or a hair clip that changes colour to match your mood . ݁˖

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR FOUR. PEOPLE TO WATCH OUT FOR (OR BEFRIEND).

⋆ FILCH : always assume he’s lurking. the second you sneak out, his cat is watching.

⋆ PEEVES : he lives to humiliate, but he loves chaos. if you can make him laugh, he’ll let you off easy.

⋆ HOUSE GHOSTS : chat them up—they’re not just decoration! nearly headless nick has excellent gossip.

⋆ MYSTERIOUS PREFECTS : they’re either power-hungry tyrants or weirdly helpful. test the waters, but don’t rely on them for sneaking tips.

፧ NR FIVE. SECRET SPOTS YOU HAVE TO VISIT (WITH GOSSIP ATTACHED).

⋆ ৎ THE KITCHEN . ݁˖

⋆ HOW TO GET IN : find the fruit painting, tickle the pear, and voilà—snack heaven. ⋆ WHY IT'S ICONIC : house-elves are absolute sweethearts and love spilling hogwarts tea. ask them about the staff. (trust me, you’ll want to know what Snape eats for breakfast.)

⋆ ৎ THE ASTRONOMY TOWER . ݁˖

⋆ VIBES : late-night stargazing, secret rendezvous, or a full-blown dramatic meltdown under the stars. ⋆ PRO TIP : always look for professors on patrol. getting caught here after hours = detention for a month.

⋆ ৎ THE BLACK LAKE . ݁˖

⋆ MUST-DO : dip your toes in (or risk it all and swim), but don’t go too far unless you fancy a chat with the merfolk. ⋆ HOT TAKE : this is THE spot for reflective moments or screaming into the abyss when your crush ignores you.

⋆ ৎ ROOM OF REQUIREMENT . ݁˖

⋆ HOW TO FIND IT : walk past the tapestry of barnabas the barmy three times, thinking about what you need. ⋆ POSSIBILITIES : hide your contraband (honeydukes stash?), set up a secret study club, or host a lowkey party.

⋆ ৎ THE OWLERY . ݁˖

⋆ WHY IT'S A MUST : excellent for sending secret letters, avoiding people, or meeting someone for an emotional convo surrounded by hooting owls.

⋆ ৎ SECRET PASSAGEWAYS . ݁˖

⋆ THE ONE-EYED WITCH PASSAGE : tap her hump with “dissendium” to access a tunnel to honeydukes. ⋆ MIRROR OF ERISED : a classic, but dangerous. don’t linger too long—that thing gets in your head.

⋆ ৎ &&& SOME EXTRAS . ݁˖

⋆ THE LIBRARY'S RESTRICTED SECTION : yes, it’s off-limits. no, that hasn’t stopped anyone ever. ⋆ THE TROPHY ROOM : find out if anyone in your house is a secret legacy. scandal potential: high.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR SIX. HOW TO AVOID TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT.

⋆ ৎ NAVIGATING THE MOVING STAIRCASES . ݁˖

⋆ always check your footing. falling = life-long trauma. ⋆ keep a map on you (charm one if you’re fancy).

⋆ ৎ QUIDDITCH FAUX PAS . ݁˖

⋆ don’t cheer at the wrong time—it’s like clapping when the plane lands. ⋆ learn your house team’s players’ names. Chanting “go, uh... that guy!” is humiliating.

⋆ ৎ POTION MISHAPS . ݁˖

⋆ if your potion explodes, play it cool. laugh with the class, but don’t turn bright red. ⋆ bring antidotes just in case—slughorn’s face when you accidentally drink something poisonous is not worth the drama.

⋆ ৎ AVOID BECOMING A GOSSIP TARGET . ݁˖

⋆ don’t date multiple people at once unless you’re an elite-level strategist. ⋆ keep your secrets in an enchanted diary, not on parchment that can “accidentally” be jinxed to read itself aloud.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR SEVEN. ROMANTIC SHENANIGANS : HOGWARTS EDITION.

⋆ ৎ THE LIBRARY CRUSH . ݁˖

⋆ STRATEGIC TIP : sit where they can see you but not too close. Flip through books casually and make eye contact. ⋆ BONUS : charm a quill to write a romantic note that “accidentally” lands on their desk.

⋆ ৎ YULE BALL PREP . ݁˖

⋆ MANIFEST : spend weeks visualising your perfect entrance. ⋆ PRO TIP : if someone asks you to the ball, say “let me think about it” even if you’re screaming inside. keep them guessing.

⋆ ৎ BROOMSTICK DATES . ݁˖

⋆ suggest a fly around the castle (romantic), but make sure you’re actually good at flying first. falling into the courtyard = not cute.

⋆ ৎ SECRET SPOTS FOR RENDEZVOUS . ݁˖

⋆ the astronomy tower, obviously. ⋆ beneath the quidditch stands (but be careful of mud). ⋆ the greenhouses (bonus points if professor sprout doesn’t catch you).

⋆ ৎ FLIRTING DOs AND DON'Ts . ݁˖

⋆ DO : send enchanted notes that change colour depending on your mood. ⋆ DON’T : use a love potion unless you want to start a literal scandal.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR EIGHT. CULTURAL NOTES FOR MAGICAL ETIQUETTE.

⋆ BOW TO CREATURES : hippogriffs, centaurs, and sometimes even peeves will respect you more if you’re polite. ⋆ RESPECT THE PORTRAITS : don’t argue with them—they’ll drag you for filth. some of them are spies for the staff, so watch your words. say “thank you” to them sometimes—they have long memories. ⋆ NEVER TOUCH SOMEONE'S WAND : it’s basically magical PDA. ⋆ don't take someone's spot. social suicide. ⋆ if you're bringing a snack to class, always share. ⋆ don’t interrupt the sorting hat. it’s rude, and it remembers.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR NINE. EXTRA CREDIT (UNHINGED IDEAS TO THANK YOURSELF FOR LATER).

⋆ CREATE A HOGWARTS GOSSIP COLUMN : anonymous, of course. use enchanted parchments to “drop” issues in common rooms. ⋆ START A SECRET CLUB : charms, duelling, hex experimentation, or a secret coffee society? endless possibilities. ⋆ BEFRIEND PEEVES : hard, but you'll get immunity from his pranks and insider castle knowledge.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ּ   * ˖  ་

፧ NR TEN. THE ONE-FOR-ALL GUIDE TO TEACHERS, CLASSES, AND YOUR ENERGY. A CLASS BY CLASS BREAKDOWN.

⋆ ৎ POTIONS (with professor snape) . ݁˖

HOW TO SURVIVE : ⋆ sit near the front but NOT in the direct line of fire for his insults. ⋆ memorise ingredient lists like it’s your new religion. ⋆ pretend to act bored but not disrespectful—it confuses him.

✶

HOW TO SLAY : ⋆ add a tiny flair to your potions (like an extra drop of lacewing fly) for signature smells. ⋆ befriend the slytherins for recipe tips—they’re snape’s favourites anyway. ⋆ avoid eye contact during rants unless you want detention.

⋆ ৎ DEFENCE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS . ݁˖

HOW TO SURVIVE : ⋆ always partner with someone reliable (not the guy who thinks expelliarmus is enough). ⋆ learn to pronounce spells properly—“incendio” pronounced wrong might set your robes on fire. ⋆ keep a duelling posture that says, “i’m ready, but not too ready.”

✶

HOW TO SLAY : ⋆ make your patronus game STRONG (it’s giving magical diva energy). ⋆ sneak a practice duel after class for bragging rights. ⋆ keep a journal of your DADA successes to subtly “accidentally” leave on your desk.

⋆ ৎ TRANSFIGURATION (with professor mcgonagall) . ݁˖

HOW TO SURVIVE : ⋆ DO. NOT. LAUGH. if you mess up a spell and your matchstick starts yelling at you. ⋆ listen carefully—her lessons are complicated, but you can impress her with quick wit. ⋆ avoid transfiguring something into a ferret. (malfoy flashbacks.)

✶

HOW TO SLAY : ⋆ be the first in your class to nail animagus work (even if it’s a beetle). ⋆ make sure your wand movements are graceful—it’s very mcgonagall-approved. ⋆ compliment her tartan cloak ONCE—she’ll secretly love it.

⋆ ৎ HERBOLOGY (with professor sprout) . ݁˖

HOW TO SURVIVE : ⋆ gloves. always gloves. you don’t want venomous tentacula vibes on your nails. ⋆ respect the mandrakes—even if they sound like crying toddlers. ⋆ never mention that you “don’t get” plants. sprout will disown you.

✶

HOW TO SLAY : ⋆ charm your earmuffs to be cute AND functional. ⋆ cultivate your own magical plant and give it a fun name (meet basil the bouncing bulb). ⋆ ace your nifflertail fertiliser potion for plant growth—instant star student.

⋆ ৎ CHARMS (with professor flitwick) . ݁˖

HOW TO SURVIVE : ⋆ practise wand movements at night; swish-and-flick doesn’t hit right without precision. ⋆ be patient—flitwick’s teaching is gold, but small man energy means he can be hard to hear.

✶

HOW TO SLAY : ⋆ show up with a fun incantation for a practical joke spell. master wingardium leviosa and start casually floating your quills around. ⋆ do homework with a cute charm, like glittery ink—it’s giving effort and creativity.
