Every time Sean Astin makes a statement on whether or not Sam and Frodo were indeed gay for each other in lord of the rings he’s always like “well we have to acknowledge that attitudes around sexuality have changed dramatically over the past several decades and since authorial intent is only up to speculation, the story is open to multiple readings, some of which might have different significances for different groups of people also they kiss on the lips because I said so”

No, I am not 'hoarding craft supplies.' I am sourcing materials for a very big project that will be revealed to me at a later date- perhaps in a dream.

A beaver colony in the Brdy region has gained overnight fame by building several dams in the Brdy protected landscape area, creating a natural wetland exactly where it was needed. It saved the local authorities 30 million crowns, and has the public cracking jokes about public administration and red tape.

The administration of the Brdy protected landscape area, which had gained approval for the 30 million crown project, was dealing with red tape and seeking the respective building permits from the Vltava River Basin authorities when the dam project was completed almost overnight by a local colony of beavers.

They could not have chosen their location better –erecting the dams on a bypass gully that was built by soldiers in the former military base years ago, so as to drain the area. The revitalization project drafted by environmentalists was supposed to remedy this. Bohumil Fišer, head of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area Administration says Nature took its course and the beavers created the necessary biotope conditions practically overnight.

Why do you think Narcissa is the only one who looks different from her sisters? Bellatrix and Andromeda are said to look alike. Even her name is different from theirs

I knew a set of sisters named Violet, Rose, and Hannah. Which annoyed me too. 100% all three Black sisters should have Black family astronomy names. Doylist reason is probably - JKR introduced Narcissa in book 4 and picked a name that invoked "narcissistic" because she's pretty, but bad-guy aligned. And then only properly worked out the Black family tree in book 5.

Watsonian reason... I guess maybe 'Narcissa' could be a Rosier name?And it's coming from the distaff side of the family? I don't have a cute headcanon about that.

I DO have a headcanon about the hair though. See, I think it's fun if the dramatic Malfoy white-blonde hair isn't natural. It's something they achieve with the private family spells (imo ALL pureblood family should have a handful of spells that aren't exactly "public.") It's all about the ~*~aesthetic~*~ with Malfoys, after all. The branding. That's most of what Lucius Malfoy does, after all. He *looks* the part. Also, Harry is quite focused on Draco's hair. Maybe it's magic hair.

I think this goes with the Malfoys' metaphor. They're not true believers. They are not (in other words) *real.* So, a very deliberately constructed appearance underlines that in a nice way. They're hot in a much more high-maintenance way than the Blacks are... which is why Lucius' hair starts looking so terrible when he doesn't have his wand. Roots start looking a little brassy, now that he can't do his magical upkeep.

(Side note ~ I think it would also be fun if *white* hair has in-universe associations with like, fay ancestry or something. Increased magical power. The Malfoys enchant their hair white so people THINK they have fay ancestry... but the Lovegoods and the Olivanders actually do.)

So, if that's the case, then maybe Narcissa once had dark hair like her sisters, and has been lightening it ever since she married Lucius. It's a subtle allegiance marker: she's communicating that she's a Malfoy now, and loyal to the Malfoys. Which is of course, true.

(I mean, her chic half-and-half look from the FILMS clearly isn't natural. Why shouldn't she dye her hair in the books as well?)

Guys they reintroduced Galapagos tortoises to espanola island and they’ve essentially terraformed their environment, knocking over invasive plants so that endangered albatrosses (who need space to take off using the ground as a runway) have returned and established nests!
