Hello OFF fandom!
Here’s a review of a game Mortis Ghost and his friends made:
DUPLO
Language: French

Duplo is a really short game where you play as a young man named Merci (which can be translated as “Thank you” in French) who uses a magic hat to travel between parallel worlds.
You use the SHIFT key to remove or put on the hat.
The graphics are really pretty and the music is good as well.
The game can be downloaded here:

NORSE MYTHOLOGY MEME ↳ [3/5] Favorite Goddesses - N O T T
In Norse mythology, Nótt is night personified, grandmother of Thor. In both the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, Nótt is listed as the daughter of a figure by the name of Nörvi (with variant spellings) and is associated with the horse Hrímfaxi, while the Prose Edda features information about Nótt’s ancestry, including Her three marriages. Nótt’s third marriage was to the god Dellingr and this resulted in their son Dagr, the personified day (although some manuscript variations list Jörð as Dellingr’s wife and Dagr’s mother instead). As a proper noun, the word nótt appears throughout Old Norse literature.

Actually, no, I’m not done with Ravenclaw and Slytherin friendships. Y’all talk about Slytherins and Hufflepuffs but man, Ravenclaws and Slytherins would be freaking terrifying. Can we just picture
Ravenclaws and Slytherins running betting pools on quidditch matches and always, always making money
Ravenclaws and Slytherins causing absolute havoc around exam time because Ravenclaws are smart but they don’t necessarily have to test well and the Slytherins probably just enjoy causing chaos, and one year they actually manage to get exams postponed.
Ravenclaws tutoring Slytherins in subjects they don’t do well in
Slytherins partnering with Ravenclaws for group work because there are some people who would try and pair with a Ravenclaw so they can just steal their work (Meanwhile, the Slytherins are ambitious, so they would honestly try to do well in classes)
Slytherins going up to Ravenclaws like, “Hey, we’re planning this wicked prank to play on Snape. Wanna join?” and then the Ravenclaws are all, “Yeah, sure, we might come up with a prank with the highest likelihood of not getting caught.”
Ravenclaws figuring out equations to predict when and where the stairs will move, and the Slytherins using these equations to do wicked parkour stuff on the the stairs to get away from people chasing them.
A first year Ravenclaw getting chased by older students late at night and Filch is in another part of the castle and as the Ravenclaw is sprinting around the corner, a seventh year Slytherin comes out of nowhere and pulls them into a supply closet. (The Slytherin was out patrolling the castle because CONSTANT VIGILANCE, okay, CONSTANT VIGILANCE and if someone isn’t keeping an eye out for trouble, we could get another Dark Lord)
Slytherins pulling Ravenclaws out of fights that break out in the hallway
Ravenclaws patching up Slytherins after they get into fights without letting the Ravenclaws come with
Ravenclaws and Slytherins presenting flawless excuses to their teachers about why they’re late to class this time (Honestly Professor, Stevens ate one of Weasley’s Puking Pastilles, what kind of friend would I be if I left her to throw up all by herself?)
Ravenclaws and Slytherins.
