Warning: SMUT (18+ - minors DNI!)
Today is Monday, but not just any ordinary Monday. It’s the ninth of January - Severus Snape’s birthday. He used to not think much of this day, but ever since meeting Y/N Y/L/N during his student days at Hogwarts, things changed. They became friends in their first year and started dating in their fifth. Ever since then, they have been together. And he couldn’t ask for more.
When Severus became the youngest teacher at Hogwarts, Y/N decided to show him some support and applied for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position. Headmaster Dumbledore granted it so the two lovebirds could be together every day.
Severus hates his job, but it’s definitely more tolerable with Y/N by his side. If she didn’t work here as well, he would have gone crazy a long time ago. The dunderhead students truly make his life a living hell… Only Y/N is there to restore his sanity after a long day of teaching these imbeciles.
Right now, Severus barely wants to get out of bed. However, a knock on the door forces him to do so. He grumbles to himself before reluctantly leaving the comfortable warm bed and walks towards the door. When he forces the door open, he’s looking into his girlfriend’s beautiful eyes.
“Y/N… How glad I am that it’s you and not some dunderhead” he mutters.

bloodborne based translation suffering. "kami" basically never shows up lol. instead primarily we get "lord/host". "lord" is used when describing the "lost lord" in the note in oedon chapel.
"The Byrgenwerth spider hides all manner of rituals, and keeps our lost master from us. A terrible shame. It makes my head shudder uncontrollably."
WHO WROTE THE NOTE ABOUT THE BYRGENWERTH SPIDER!!!! WHO!!!!! AND WHO ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?!
the translation clarified that "lost" should probably be "invisible" or "unseen", which adds a little bit of nuance to it. there are quite a few different people this could apply to but with varying degrees of certainty.
-master willem is the least likely. the title used for him is typically "headmaster" and not "lord" except once in an item description. willem is also not really lost or unseen. he's right there. sort of.
-micolash is the lord/host of the nightmare and is lost in the nightmare. he is unseen, i suppose, due to not being in yharnam. in order to reach his corpse and eventually the man himself, you do need to kill rom at byrgenwerth. this does not answer who wrote the note.
however...
-the bloodletting beast or "lord/host of the beast blood" in japanese is also blocked by a rom in the third layer of lower pthumeru....however this isnt the byrgenwerth spider. its a spider. just not the one at byrgenwerth. but then the note's existence in oedon chapel makes more sense considering oedon's connection to the good blood.
in conclusion: what

Let me show you... Youtube - chapter 21
My oh my... Do we have the birth of a future yandere ?
Warning : no proof reading, English is not my mother tongue.
If you are interested in reading this fic, the tag "#twst lmsyy" will give you all the chapters.
─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───
The woman went outside. In the ambient noise, the whispers seemed to have stopped. Finally a calm day.
She got a waft of all the stand food smell. It made her hungry. She just hoped that they can take credit card because she had 0 cash on her… Or maybe she could negotiate an advance on salary in cash ? [Good idea, let’s pester the bird.]
Once she found Crowley, she had to wait a little before pestering him. He was with important investors from what she understood of the conversation.
Crowley spotted her from the corner of her mask. “What can I do for you Mrs Devi ?”
Victoria batted her eyelashes, hoping it would make her seem innocent. “Can you lend me some cash ? From my salary, so I could join the festivities… Please Headmaster Crowley ? You're so generous after all…”
Crowley was weak to those words. He laughed, his beak seemed to elongate. “Oh yes of course ! I am so gracious after all !”
And that’s how Victoria got half her monthly salary in cash. [He he he life is good when you butter people.]
Crowley tilted his head. “What are you going to do today ? Are you going to watch the match ?”
Victoria plastered a smile on her face. “I am going to roam a bit before making my way to the stadium ! I can’t wait to see what it looks like IRL !”
Crowley blinked. “I…RL ? What’s that ?”
Victoria was caught off guard. [Of course he doesn’t know, he is like a billion years older than me.]
Trein arrived at that moment with Crewel. “Oh ? Who do we have here ?”
Crewel, seeing Victoria being deep in her thoughts, asked. “What is happening ?”
Crowley asked wholeheartedly. “Do you know what IRL means ?”
The two men also blinked. They all turned her head to face her, ready to listen to her explanation. [Oh dear, even Crewel ?? He is my age !!]
It took all her inner control not to laugh at the three men. “It is an acronym, mostly used by gamers to say ‘in real life’. It became quite common so I thought you knew, sorry for assuming you knew !”
Crewel was the first one to speak. “That explains a lot about Shroud way to speak… Do you play video games ?”
Victoria tilted her head innocently. “Yeah I do, it is fun to kill zombies when you had a bad day where a colleague proves that your theory is wrong and you need to redo your whole month of research.”
Trein was taken aback. “It is quite accurate for an example.”
Crowley understood one word : ‘research’. “You… were a researcher ?”
Victoria smiled widely, proud of her accomplishment. “Yeah, I used to be a researcher for a ‘true luck’ algorithm. It is used for gambling. I’ve patented it.” 
The two older men were shocked. This little girl had a PATENT ? Crowley spoke. “But… You’re too young to have a patent ! You are what ? 23 ?”
Crewel and Victoria laughed at this. Her ? 23 ? “That’s quite a compliment thank you, but no. I am 29, with a master in applied physics and a thesis in artificial intelligence under my belt.”
They both blinked her eyes. Crewel raised an eyebrow. “In applied physics ? I didn’t know that ! So you really are a jack of all trades !”
It added another layer of laughter. “Yeah, I can do anything that is math related.”
Crewel smiled. “We should try alchemy together then, you will have loads of fun.”
Victoria's eyes became full of sparkles. “Really ? Really really ? I can teach you about… erm… Video games ? I like to play chess, if you are up to it.”
At that moment both of the older men felt a bit of jealousy. They, too, wanted to spend some time with the woman.
Crewel smirked, at this sudden advantage he got. “Of course, Dr Devi. Let’s play together. Why not enjoy the festivities together ?”
The brunette was over the moon. “Oh ! Yes, it would be fun to spend some time with someone who knows his way around the festival. Let’s go !”
She grabbed his hand under the glares of Crowley and Trein. Crewel only smiled. He already liked her and her way to subtly show off her intelligence. Who could have guess that it was hidden in such a small woman ?
While waiting for her breakfast order -loads of pancakes-, she asked the fashionable man. “You are sure that you don’t want anything ? I can pay it for you…”
Crewel was astonished. “Young lady, do you think I am poor to say that ? I have way more money than you think.”
The woman looked at him. “I am sorry, but you smell rich. Rich like someone without cash on him.”
It made the man laugh. “I still have some change on me, I am just watching my figure.”
Victoria nodded. “To not have to tailor your wardrobe ? I understand that.”
Crewel looked at the woman from head to toe. She asked. “What ?”
He smiled earnestly. “You look great today. I like it. We also have the same shoes.”
She looked at his black and white derbies then hers. She laughed, happy that he noticed such a small detail. “I haven’t noticed… Quite a funny coincidence !”
That woman was like the Sun. She laughed a lot, she was optimistic, she smiled despite having a run down dorm, she was doing a job that wasn’t in line with her studies…  She needed to be protected at all cost from the bad of this world.

MJA'S ENTRANCE CEREMONY
Tumblr media
The student's ceremonial capes will be given to them via parcel with their acceptance letter.
Traditionally, those who had won gym battles, Coordinator contests, Pokemon performances or anything that had proven that they had achieved something, they must put their gym badges, ribbon, key, etc. into their ceremonial capes to represent the victories that they have earned throughout their journeys. It is usually 2nd/3rd years up to the 11th year.
After the students were dropped off by the Master Journeys Train, the students will then be guided by some of the staff and pokemon to where the ceremony will take place.
The entrence ceremony will be stationed at the stadium on the school campus grounds where fresh new students will gather for the ceremony.
All students of all years will be attending the ceremony, from the first to the eleventh years due to the purpose of not just welcoming new students into the academy but also to welcome the new school year for all students.
Once settled, the current Headmaster/Headmistress will start off with a speech to help welcome the students to a brand new year and a new start where they will learn, grow and experience new things for the path that they will choose in the future.
During this time, the pokemon (Both Staffs and residents of MJA) will also participate in being part of the welcoming ceremony, either there to listen and to meet the students or giving some snacks and patrolling for anything that might go wrong.
After the speech and some snacks, an array of demonstrations will be displayed at the stadium to show the students of one of the many courses they can take.
There will be four demonstrations for four different representations of what type of trainer they will be.
The main four are Battling, Researching, Coordinating, and Performing.
Students from 9th to 11th years are traditionally the ones to represent the four demonstrations for welcoming ceremonies every year and are either personally picked by the Headmistress or are volunteers.
But the students that were picked or volunteered must have a decent experience on the field of one of the demonstrations.
Official selections happens 2 weeks before the ceremony.
Battlings goes first among the four demonstrations.
The most common rule for this demonstration are that there arent any use of power ups (Mega evolution, Z-Power, Gigantamax, etc.) during battles, so that they can have an even playing field and give an example of what a common pokemon battle looks like.
Next is the field of Researching.
The students will be displaying an array of research and studies of various subjects like technology, biology, chemistry, etc. to show how far they have gone in their studies in the respective course they are in.
After Researching, its Coordinating.
The rule of no power ups is present at this demonstration aswell.
There is a choice of adding some accessories to both Coordinator and their pokemon but they must still wore their ceremonial capes throughout the ceremony.
This rule also applies to the other four demonstrations and will only be removed when necessary (ex. PPE or a need of more flexibility)
Last but not the least is Performing.
There will be a brief explanation beforehand at the difference between the Coordinating and Performing, considering the confusion between these two.
The theme performance, the first competition of the Pokemon Perfromance/Showcase, is different every year but at times it is Pokemon quiz due to pokemon performing being the last demonstrations and it will help summarize the whole four demonstrations.
Soon after all the Four demonstrations are at the end, the Headmistress will then give one last small speech for everyone to remind everyone that they are just beginning their journey, and so much more will unfold on the world that they will explore with their Pokemon as they four demonstrations they have just now is just a tip of an iceberg.
After all that, the students will then be guided by the Staff (Both People and Pokemon) to their assigned dorms and will announce of what will happen at the following week.

Are there any other Home School theories that you have? As I was watching the latest episodes I thought to myself “that one person on tumblr called it”😂
i did feel pretty validated when it came to nai's relationship with his family. i am not sure i have a lot of new things worth sharing and i haven't watched any of the special eps because i heard there were some spoilers and for things like this show i'd rather just kind of figure it out myself or just if i haven't, be surprised. but here's a few things that i'm guessing based off the last eps.
Tumblr media
biw did most likely go through something traumatizing when she was alone. she doesn't seem to have a problem being alone since she happily skips out in the woods (girl, why?). however, she clearly freaks out when she realizes she's lost and alone and that would make a lot of sense with the whole she was (will soon be again) constantly holding phleng's hand.
the twins are very interesting, the more i see them interact i do think their parents are at odds. and that they both have taken their own way to react to that. mork (much like me) tries to be the good kid, get the good grades, maybe if he's perfect enough it'll fix things or at least cause less problems. mek on the other hand rebels, he wants attention (even from his brother).
i feel like all the master's must have been pretty well known or outstanding in whatever field they were in after finding out that champ was on the national team. like it makes sense that amin would only recruit the best especially with the way he is pretty skilled at behavioral psychology. which, i do wonder what drew them to home school.
tibet's dad had to have been connected to home school somehow because how else would master amin have known his family because his mom even applied or mentioned it? like i want to guess a teacher but i feel like tibet should have known that...unless it's like some secret... (this could just be a writing technicality that will never be explained but i have hopes)
now as for run...he seemed almost catatonic...and that can either be because of drug complications or that he does have mental illness. which i am really leaning towards the latter. in the first episode when he was running away from home school, it was shot in such a way that i felt paranoid (yes i know it's home school and he should feel paranoid but it just felt very exaggerated) . of course, he could also just be heavily drugged to keep him calm as he clearly recognizes the alias he gave his little sister but other than we got nothing really out of him. it's just the way that the headmaster says they're not a hospital, i do think that they're trying to treat him for something.

➤ OPEN CHARACTER: CHRISTOPHER, 34, MASTER, BERSERKER
FULL NAME: Christopher Winters NICKNAME(S): Chris PRONOUNS: He/Him BIRTHDAY: Up to player AGE: 34 STATUS: Master MAJOR: Language Studies SPECIES: Berseker SPECIAL POWERS: None SEXUALITY: Up to player I AM A:Up to player I WANT A: Up to player TURN-ONS: Up to player TURN-OFFS: Up to player
➤ BIOGRAPHY
Christopher was born to an Army captain and his wife, and lived a largely nomadic life, moving to a new base on average every two years as his fathers career progressed, including a couple of overseas tours in South Korea and Germany. Thus he grew up surrounded by that military culture, and it ultimately surprised few when he enlisted in the Army at the age of seventeen. Volunteering for overseas tour after overseas tour, Chris rose in prominence, given increasingly dangerous missions. It was among his fellow soldiers that he discovered his brother Berserkers and also met Valkyries, learning from them his heritage and nature as a Berserker. It was after an intense firefight that found him the only survivor, left with massive internal damage to his organs and all his fellow soldiers, mortal and supernatural alike, slain, that Chris had a turning point. The trauma of the loss triggered the release of his memories from past lives, crippling Chris even further psychologically as he struggled to deal with the inrush of information and lifetimes of memories, and reliving all his previous deaths. With the help of his brethren, he’s come to the Institute to heal and try and regain control over himself and his memories, sorting through the past and coming to terms with it. He’s also trying to study several languages, hoping to perhaps rise to being an officer when he returns to the Army. Chris is unsure what to make of the master and slave system at the school, and struggles against the assumption that he is, for some reason, an irrationally cruel and abusive man. He’s a soldier, but he still cares for people, even if he’s even less likely to show it in his weakened state. Note to potential players: Player completely able to expand on the basic idea of the character without changing the core points of him not being a willfully cruel person. Yes he’s a killer, but he fights for something, and he has been fighting for his country. All his various past lives are totally up to the player.
➤ PERSONALITY
✚ Loyal, obedient, determined ▬ Stubborn, single-minded, adrenaline addicted
➤ ESTABLISHED CONNECTIONS
None
➤ FACE CLAIM & OOC INFO
Christopher’s faceclaim is Channing Tatum. // Could Christopher be right for you?
Bio written by Sassy.

The Shadow Academy
(still a work in progress, and so subject to change!)
The Shadow Academy is located on Kyrnis, in a stony gorge. The academy itself is built into an E N O R M O U S geode which has broken off from a cliff face. The inside is filled with crystals in a whole rainbow of color, so this is obviously some sort of magically-created geode, because geodes don't work that way.
In any case, the geode blocks all sun from reaching the academy within it. It had a different name many thousands of aurs ago, but now it's just called Shadow Academy.
It's a magic school.
It was first established after the deaths of the original gods when magic was first filtering into the world for mortals and they needed guidance. The masters who'd advocated for mortals to have access to magic were the first professors.
Originally, all these professors were elves, but there are many masters at the school now.
Shadow Academy is not split into "houses" like schools in the UK (or Dark Academia, which uses a certain wizard series as a template) but into years, more like American schools.
Students of any ages may attend, from youngsters who show promise, all the way to the elderly who are just discovering their talents. Though most of the students tend to be younger, there is a whole range.
One may apply to be in the school, or they may be invited. No one is rejected because of space concerns, but one does have to display a significant magical ability in order to attend. Attendance costs nothing, and it is impossible to pay your way into the school.
Despite the name, the processes and procedures in Shadow Academy have a light-based theme:
The headmaster/principal is called the Novalight. Professors and teachers are called Starlights. Maintenance workers/custodial workers are called Fireflies. First-year students are called Lamplights. Second-year students are called Sparklights. Third-year students are called Emberlights. Fourth-year students are called Glowlights. Fifth-year students are called Firelights.
There is an optional "Final Year" which is a work study program. This offers students hands-on experience in their chosen fields and is paid for by the academy, should the student so desire. These students are called Auroralights.
Shadow Academy also teaches basic classes for younger students in lieu of school. Math, history, and science are taught alongside magic.
Uniforms have various options for different species, and generally have color accents which match the preferred colors of their god or gods. Some students study several forms of magic (fauns excluded, as they are only able to study one) and so they will have multi-colored uniforms. Each set is custom-made for each new student.
The Shadow Academy is heavily featured in Book 2 of the Bestiary Trilogy, Shadowbind! Can't wait to expand on the lore for everyone.

i’m sorry if this is a really weird thing to request but ...nsfw hcs of headmaster crowley?
Tumblr media
🕊  character, fandom, type of reader: headmaster dire crowley, twisted wonderland, woman / gender neutral reader. 
🕊   genre, rating: nsfw, 18+ only.
🕊   themes, triggers: explicit descriptions, master kink, sadism kink, light bondage, humiliation, voyeurism, spanking, biting. 
🕊   author’s note: this isn’t weird at all because i too would love dire crowley to dick me down. i really love miyamoto mitsuru voice ( hence why i simp heavily for mori from bsd ) and when i opened twisted wonderland for the first time i almost died... this man truly has a voice as sweet and smooth as honey. also isn’t dire crowley kinda hot ? i mean... we haven’t seen his face in full but i know he’s fine... i know he is. anways i’m going to STFU ! i hope you enjoy this my dear anon and i apologize for the wait~
Tumblr media
+  crowley really acts like he “doesn’t know anything” and most likely acts shy whenever things get suggestive. he allows you to take the reigns at the start. he loves it when you sit on his lap and remove his mask. litter his cheeks and nose with kisses before paying special attention to his lips.
+  he’s kissing you softly and passionately. the hands he has on your waist is also very soft. then suddenly he grips your hips with force and kisses you faster and harder. he clashes his teeth against yours before eventually he opens them with his tongue. he loves making out with you. simple as that. you can feel him get hard between your legs. but since he’s got such a tight grip on your waist you can’t grind up against him.
+  he really enjoys teasing you so he spends a long time kissing you. not just on your lips ;) he pays extra attention to your jawline and the slope of your neck. he you can feel his hand holding your head as you extend your neck further for him to kiss and even nibble on your skin. he blows in your ear and whispers a mix of sweet nothings and dirty talk. “gorgeous but naughty, naughty girl.”
+  this isn’t because i love crowley’s seiyuu but ... he loves to talk during intimate moments mainly because he’s probably into humiliating you. it’s very light humiliation. he likes to mention how excited your getting and how he can feel your wetness under him. he continuously calls your body “lewd” and “naughty.” he asks, “while you were waiting for me, did you touch yourself in anticipation?”
+  building on that, he praises you as well. “you take me so well y/n.” followed by “you feel so warm and tight around me~” his voice is low almost close to a growl. he’s devilish with his words, i just know it.
+  no doubt he’s into voyeurism. but in a sense that he likes to watch you pleasure yourself. he remains clothed; probably still has is mask on as well and just watches you. he caught you accidently touching yourself and it just became a kink of is. he instructs you on how to touch yourself. “slide those elegant fingers in and out of you. watch them as you do. look at them covered in your lewd juices.”
+  he likes undressing you. he takes his time to remove your clothing one by one. each time skin is shown he places a kiss there. his fingers dance across your body. if you have scars or stretch marks he pays them extra attention with kisses.
+  could eat you out until sunrise to sundown. he loves the feeling of your legs around his head. but majority of the time he’s got his hands on your thighs. he forces your hips down onto the matters and instructs you to open your legs wide as they can go. he sucks on your clit and fingers you at the same time. but he never lets you cum that way. ever.
+  he loves it when you ride him. when you lean forward and show him your breasts he goes insane. he kisses your breasts, sucks on your nipples, he leaves multiple love marks on them. he’s a tit man i know it. because of that, he’s into titty fucking. and when you lick the tip of his cock while he tit fucks you, it makes him throw his head back and moan.
+  since crowely wants to pleasure you the most. you don’t get to ear him moan that often minus a few soft, submissive like moans. it isn’t until you pleasure him that you’re able to hear his moans. they are so beautiful but he gets shy about it~
+  he likes hearing your voice though. he demands that you let out your voice even if you’re embarrassed. he also enjoys it when you praise him. tell him how good he feels and tell him that your body belongs to him.
+  he would never have sex with you on university grounds because he’s a professional and doesn’t want to risk his reputation being soiled. but that doesn’t stop him from teasing you ( and you teasing him ! ) he comes up behind you and whispers something in your ear about how beautiful you sounded the night before. you can feel his hands roam around your body but they never seem to touch where you need him most.
+  as for you ? wear a shorter skirt and bend over when you drop something. or maybe show more cleavage and lean over the his desk. you can see him get flustered and shy. it’s cute until you get home and he wants to “punish” you for your behavior.
+  he doesn’t use his lash of love on you. it would be too painful and he isn’t that much of a sadist to use it on you. he has a smaller whip, a paddle, or he just opts to use his hands. he makes you count aloud each slap. your bent over him so he notices the wet spot in your panties grow. he grazes his finger across it just to see you twitch. “such a lascivious body you have y/n.”
+  he likes when you bite him because he bites you. he mostly likes to get bitten on his neck or on his bottom lip. he bites your breasts gently but also in between your thighs. right before he’s about to eat you out he dances his tongue around your thighs and places a gentle bite there.
+  he enjoys it when you take the reigns as well but he mostly likes to be in control and won’t hesitate to put you back in your place if you get too comfortable playing the dominant role. 
+  doesn’t get the daddy kink. he’s into being called master or sir. you have to refer to him as such in the bedroom otherwise you can expect a punishment. punishments aren’t always spanking. he deprives you of his touch and this is when he begins instructing you to masturbate for him.
+  he’s into light bondage like blinding folding you and tying you up ( only to heighten your senses ). his dirty talk multiplies here, “do you like it when you feel master’s cock against you, hm? shall i put it in?” / “you look so beautiful begging for my cock y/n.”
+  holds you really close when he’s about to cum. he’ll pick up your entire body and bury his face in the crook of your neck. you can hear him whimpering until he finally admits that he’s going to cum.
+  cockwarming is big with crowley after you introduced it to him. while you work you sit on his lap and feel him inside of you as you work. sometimes after a long day at work he likes to come home and just insert himself inside of you. you lay on top of him and he plays with your hair. he’s too tired to have conversation but he listens to your stories.
+  after care with crowley is the best because he always knows what to do. he applies ointment to where he spanked you. he ties up your hair ( or even puts it in a braid 🥺 ) because he knows he doesn’t like it when your hair sticks to your face. he massages your legs knowing they probably hurt after stretching them so wide. he insists on carrying you to the bathroom but is sure to leave you alone for a bit so you can do what you need to do. when it’s okay for him to join you he doesn’t hesitate. he likes sitting with you. even if the two of you aren’t talking. he just likes being in your presence.

SEASON TWO - IMPRESSIONS PART 1/?
I'm alive! And yes, it might be a bit late to go nuts over the season 2's first two episodes, but I couldn't go on without spilling my impressions/opinions/theories about it! So let's go:
Separate Tides
First of all, the Owl House Crew demonstrating how much they care about each other in multiple ways, from trying to make up to one another (Luz and Lilith to Eda, Eda to Luz) or paying attention to their needs made my day already – what a way to come back with those amazing characters!
I confess I was rather touched when Eda said they are saving the money to buy the edibles for Luz;
That detail about Luz's diet in the Islands caught my attention, making me wonder about all the possible experimentations they had to go through to figure out what Luz could/was down to eating besides from Gus' P&G; (I'll write about it later!)
THAT'S ROUGH BUDDY REFERENCE - it's such a nice little touch they gave but it had me flipping!
I don't know what surprises me more: Lilith bounding with Hooty ~a dynamic I never knew I needed until now~ or the fact that Eda is quite "fine" living with Lilith, who cursed her? She makes jokes about it, which I think is the "Eda way" to digest the awkwardness that comes with this situation, but I confess I was expecting this level of "commodity" to come a bit later. But in other hand, the most difficult days might have happened through the past week, which wasn't shown on screen. So by the time the episode starts, they are past the most tense moments, which might or might not be shown/mentioned later;
Plus, the fact that both sisters are glad with the reunion (even with the costs it had) is an advantage, as there's a mutual effort to strengthen their relationship;
And yes, I'm more than delighted to see that both sisters never stopped caring about each other even after all these years, as Lilith's main goal has always been to lure Eda into the Emperor's coven to cure her;
As we've seen, the former Emperor's headmaster's pride is thick like a brick, and something tells me her arc will very likely revolve around her adjusting her "solo" manners to fit within the Owl House dynamics – which is positive, either in terms of aiding her weakened magic and providing the mental health she much needs; ~Lilith is way too precious in this season, she even have nicknames with Hooty now!~
Besides, the episode's main message is that it is not necessary to do things alone to prove your worth or "pay" for some debt, as asking for help doesn't make you less – actually, it is smarter to count on others you love! It saves a lot of drama! ~And unnecessary deaths~
Also, I'd like to point out that at the first minutes in the ep Luz says "maybe it would be better if I never came here" and at the end, Eda brushes it off by saying that her life is way better with her around ~that warms my heart and confirms that Eda has officially adopted Luz, I love it~
Luz is refining her glyph magic skills each day, which just reinforces the dedicated and creative person she is. I love how she's able to apply it not just in combat situations, but for everyday chores too! The Boiling Islands is a harsh place to live, but Luz is mastering it with excellence! It's a delight to watch, specially if we take into account that Luz is constantly growing with each new shenanigan in a way she wouldn't be able to if she was still home, or at that summer camp;
Hooty once again proved to be a diligent house demon, with way more power and resistance than he let it show; Also, apparently he can move around tunnels, and his length is rather…. Expansive? He seems to be able to survey not only the whereabouts of the Owl House, but a great area in the forest… unless Eda has always lived close to an area full of fire bees but it wasn't worth mentioning in the past ¯\_(ツ)_/¯; ~imagine the guard and spying possibilities Hooty's tunnels can make!~
About the Golden Guard boy, I have some questions. If he's a teenager, then which school does he goes? Or does he receives an special education from Emperor's staff? He's good at "following orders", but is that all he really does?
Also, he comments "none of you can you real magic" which means he does not recognize any kind of magic that does not come from a bile sack; and thus bias probably extends to the whole Emperor's coven;
Apart from that, there was something really curious about his staff:
Besides from not having a Palisman, it glows with that reddish blast whenever It's used, and even the sounds it makes are different from other witch's staffs;
Instead of drawing circles, he keeps manipulating amounts of mass around himself, levitating and molding them accordingly to his will;
He created that sword out of a strange substance, something like a red goo conjured through the staff; Does that means he has the power to materialize things by molding them with that generic mass? How does that work? Is it even natural? My guess is that no, as I believe Belos magic is not as "organic" as other the one from other covens we've seen;
At last, I just love the parallel they made with Eda at the end, drawing the light glyphs on the floor just like Luz did in the first season;
That was it for the first episode! I once again apologize for my delay, but I hope you enjoy! Any opinions?
Also, I'll be posting about the second ep soon!

Re-imagine Snape
Someone recently went through pretty much every Snape-positive meta, sometimes with my own additions, that I reblogged (thank you, sweet person!), and for one, wow! I hadn't realised I had so much of it floating on my blog. For another, rereading one of the posts brought something to the forefront that I was too emotional at the time to formulate.
I sometimes struggle to with understanding criticism of media, when the critical voices come from people with a very different lived experience from my own. I am a cis white female who lives in a country with socialised healthcare, I am fully aware that I am insulated by privilege and accept that there are certain things, that I will never fully understand. Doesn't mean I shouldn't at least try. There is an exercise that I found useful, even though it falls back on the use of... very narrow stereotypes.
When 50 Shades of Grey suddenly went mainstream, I found the best way to explain why I disliked the franchise, despite it's fanfic origins, was to substitute the names of the protagonists with arabic sounding ones. Anastacia and whatshisname Mr. Grey became Aisha and Yusuf. And suddenly the fact that the male protagonist demands authority over what the female one wears, eats, where she lives, what she buys, who she socialises with and what she talks about, all outside of their sex play, stops sounding edgy and kinky, and starts looking a whole lot like abuse. Because we are conditioned to recognise abuse only when applied to certain groups, when viewed through certain lens, and it was easier to identify what my exact problem with 50 Shades was, only when I fully leaned into the stereotypes, eliminating my blind spot.
Now, reimagine Severus Snape as a black boy/man. He grew up poor and disadvantaged, in a town/part of town where most people had similar struggles. His home was abusive and neglectful, and he is socially awkward, whether as a result of the neglect or because it is something inherent to him, it doesn't matter. Despite having gained access to an elite school and showing talent, it is clear that his upbringing makes him an outcast. He is discriminated against and is further sidelined, subtly and overtly, by other students, by teachers and by the Headmaster. He is sorted into a House where the majority of racists are sorted into. He is denied access to networking opportunities by Professor Slughorn, despite his show of aptitude. He is constantly and viciously bullied by boys from very rich, very privileged families (I know, that only Sirius and James are from Ancient and Noble Families, but they are also the main driving forces behind the abuse at school; Peter and Remus were at best characterised as hangers-on), and his teachers ignore it; to the point that when his life is endangered the Headmaster outright refuses to even publicly aknowledge any wrongdoing by the responsible parties. He has no recourse against bullying, because he is much more in danger of being expelled himself if he retaliates in kind than to receive justice if he follows the acceptable course of action; and we don't really know how much bullying or peer pressure of participation he was under from his own housemates.
He will have very quickly realised, that even if he manages to finish the school he will have a very hard time to be compensated fairly for his work, despite his talents; because people will look down on him either because of his class background, or his race or his lack of social graces. And his only friend, a white girl, despite sharing the disadvantage of class and race (in the sense that she is also not a pureblood, since blood purism was used as a metaphor for racial inequality), she had a very different experience than him. One - she didn't grow up in an abusive household, two - because her family wasn't quite as poor as his, since, you know, her dad didn't drink away all their income; and three - she was planted into a much more socially flexible environment to make connections, aka the Gryffindor house.
Hell, even the way that some parts of HP fandom insist on hypersexualising the relationship of two prepubescent children is consistent with the portrayal of black boys in media. Because a thirty year old white man is a considered a child, but an 11 year old black boy is seen as a man. And if he is a man, the only thing he could want from this innocent white girl must be sexual in nature. Thus all the accusations of a 9-yr-old Severus stalking Lily somehow making sense.
And while I am not going as far as to equate the Death Eaters to Black Panthers, I do remember that the latter were often vilified as violent thugs and armed gang members, when what they actually wanted was to create a unified, defensible front, to be able to provide a safe, nurturing environment for their weakest members. Circling the wagons, if you want. If the Death Eaters weren't comprised of bigoted purebloods with more ambition and money than ability, but of muggleborns and muggle-raised halfbloods who would seek to increase their bargaining power in the Wizengamot and with potential employers, how quickly would they be labeled terrorists, intent on destroying the traditional pureblood ways? They wouldn't even have to kill a single pureblood.
What if they vowed to never accept less payment for services than what is fair, to never accept abysmal working conditions (except maybe to gain the mastery and then adios, motherfucker) and contracts with immoral stipulations; to invest in each others entrepreneural ideas instead of finding investors from pure blood families; at best accepting loans from Gringotts, because if anyone understands unfair treatment, it is goblins? What if they wielded their combined buying power among their own businesses and charging purebloods horrendously; what if they only apprenticed the children of their own circle, especially if the halfblood master of the field was the exceptionally gifted one and thus much more sought after among purebloods? Their social and financial power would be significant enough for a potential Minister of Magic to invest into courting their voting bloc, and for the Guilds to consider representing their interests. They wouldn't have any power on the Wizengamot, not at the beginning, but not every pureblood family was aligned with blood purists, though it is a big question, whether they wouldn't ally themselves with their former enemies once they perceive the ‘unpure’ as a threat. But if they would at least gain one pureblood family as a dissenting voice in the Wizengamot, as an avatar to promote more egalitarian laws... and then reinforce their message by applying the financial pressure... it is not unreasonable that at least some changes will be made. If this sort of power is what Severus imagined to gain from joining the Death Eaters... I can't actually fault him for that.
But I went off on a tangent. The point is, that Snape is one of the few characters who genuinely regretted his actions, but was still perceived as a criminal and a convicted felon, who only escaped imprisonment because an old white privileged man still had something to gain from pressuring him into a life of service and danger. The way his character arc is handled is also reminiscent of the discussions of the school-to-prison pipeline and incarceration rates in the US. And when he died, he died an ignominous death that no one but Harry Potter even valued. No one else would ever see him as a hero. No one else named their child after him, not even Draco, in whose protection Snape was so invested. He stayed a footnote in history, his contributions to the war effort forgotten or attributed to the man that manipulated him; the man who was lauded a hero and managed to finagle a  state funeral while Snape bled out on a dirty floor in an abandoned shack and no one knows where his body is, still vilified as a Dumbledore’s murderer and Voldemort’s bootlicker.
What I am saying, is seeing Severus Snape as conceptually a black man changes a lot in how i perceive his character, despite not changing even one word of canon.

the hunter and the hunted
BEFORE WE BEGIN:
This piece will be involving a portion of how the Savanaclaw chapter will turn out and it’s potentially long with a slightly stilted chronology.
Without further ado, Here we go!
“You seem too calm over the recent string of incidents targeting potentially good Magift players.”
Cater Diamond can’t help but stare at the unofficial Ramshackle prefect as the words utter out of her mouth.
What are they trying to do by saying this?
Are they buying time to ensure their escape out of Savanaclaw?
Cater turned towards the Savanaclaw students surrounding them and even those close to Leona-kun.
To his surprise, the demeanor in some of the students changed.
Almost as if... as if they’ve gotten afraid.
Yuu-chan kept talking. “Normally, people would have some fear that they’ll be targeted next once they learn the pattern to the attacks. And yet... none of you show even a little bit of panic of the situation and don’t try to cooperate with someone to put the incidents to a stop.”
Yuu-chan tilted their head a little to the right, a hand under their chin. “...Almost as if you actually knew who the perpetrator was, but you let them continue and act as their accomplice to the scheme.”
The moment the words left their lips, several students started running after them.
“OI! YOU LOT!” Leona-kun tried calling for them, but to no avail, as the group of students started charging after Yuu-chan.
Ace-chan, Deuce-chan, and Gri-chan are too exhausted to move, while Shiro, the infamous rascal white cat familiar that Yuu-chan miraculously won over to a point the cat chose them as it’s new master, stood calmly next to them.
Before any of the students could reach to Yuu-chan, there was a glow coming from Yuu-chan’s new bracelet.
A bracelet he noticed that they started wearing, claiming that it’s a gift from Lilia-chan.
A runic wall was formed and blow the attackers back.
Before he could comprehend what just happened, Yuu-chan raised their right arm to the sky, the hands opened.
“O thunder, heed my call!”
As soon as Yuu-chan said the chant, the unmistakable crackling of static electricity resounded and flowed throughout the field.
Every single Savanaclaw student in the vicinity unceremoniously fell on their knees.
Some struggled to rise, but to no avail, as the static kept them down.
Almost as if they were struck by lightning.
“Cater-senpai, let’s go.”
They lifted up his arm with ease (He knew that they did some equivalent of fencing back at their home but experiencing how strong their arm was is surprising)
“Run!”
They called and they ran ahead, not looking back.
________________________________________________________
Once they escaped Savanaclaw and gone straight to Heartslabyul, Ace-chan and Deuce-chan both let themselves fall to the ground, sitting and out of breath.
While Cater had his hands on his knees.
“What the hell... was that...” Ace panted.
“Fnaahh... we could’ve been toast if that didn’t happen...” Gri-chan huffed.
When Cater had collected himself and steady his own breath, he decided to ask.
“Say Yuu-chan? What did you do?”
The prefect, who didn’t look out of wear, blinked at him. Ace-chan, Deuce-chan and Gri-chan now looked at them. Shiro now on Yuu-chan’s shoulder.
“You’re magicless right? I can excuse the bracelet as Lilia-chan giving the bracelet a teeny defensive magic spell for yourself, but that doesn’t explain what you did next.”
Hey, he might not be the smartest, but he knows enough that it would be fishy if a magicless kid can suddenly use magic.
For their part, Yuu-chan looked thoughtful. “It might be easier to show you instead.”
Saying that, Yuu-chan rummaged at the pocket of her hood jacket (Scarabia themed, since Kalim-kun heard about how Lilia-chan bought them a Diasomnia themed hoodie from Mister S’s Mystery Shop. Kalim-kun really spoiled Yuu-chan as if Yuu-chan is like his baby sibling or something.)
Yuu-chan took out a hand sized rock. He couldn’t help but look flabbergasted at what they are doing for bringing out a rock.
That look was put to an end when they spoke what is unmistakably a magical chant.
“Dripping Water.”
He can now see the glow of what seemed to be a runic letter, the rock changed form to water that cascaded down the ground they stood on.
Gri-chan jumped. Exclaiming in surprise. “Fnah!”
Ace-chan and Deuce-chan stood before the water made contact to the ground.
“That was close...” Deuce-chan exhaled a sigh.
Ace-chan, however, scrutinized the ground.
He knelt down and then picked something up.
Cater noticed that it was a rock with a runic letter carved on it. Though the rock’s now scattered to little pebbles save for the one with the runes carved.
“...Say Yuu? Where did you get your Mana from?” Ace-chan decided to ask.
Mana is another word for magical reserves for magicians. Most magicians have their own magical reserves in their own body once they are born and awaken their ability to use magic.
A magicless person from another world suddenly gaining a magical reserve of their own just sound impossible unless something unordinary happens.
“It’s not my Mana.” Yuu-chan replied. And spoke. “In the olden days, people once used to request the world to lend them their magic.”
Olden days?
Wait-
“So you’re 100% magicless, but the source of mana came from elsewhere.”
Yuu-chan blinked at him. Nodding. “Yep.”
They explained. “What I did was simply carve a runic letter to a medium I would use, in this case, a rock, and all I need to do is chant the spell I needed to use corresponding to the rune.”
They took out a folded paper from the pocket of their pants and chanted. “Sun Flower.”
A glow of runic letters was formed and this time, a miniature sun shaped flower burst out of the paper, staying firm with the paper acting as soil.
Deuce-chan had been staring at Yuu-chan wide-eyed. “What was that you were saying... Sail... Fiola?”
Gri-chan furrowed his brows. “I remember Yuu saying something like Eala Aka earlier...”
Oh.
He didn’t notice it before but now that he heard Deuce-chan and Gri-chan spell out the words, he now knew what language Yuu-chan had been using for their runes.
“You speak Alician?”
He might not be from the Rose Kingdom, but Alician got covered once in Trein-sensei’s classes.
Only Riddle-kun knew how to speak and understand the language well enough in Heartslabyul.
...Maybe because of his super scary education mama.
“You knew what Alician is?” Yuu-chan wondered.
“It’s an old Rose Kingdom language, but it’s only covered when you’re a second year. But not much records are found about it so not a lot of people use it for runes and magic.”
Well, Riddle-kun DID tell him last week that he had to pick up his old notes for Alician again once Trein-sensei brought it up in history class to brush up his skills in the language.
Yuu-chan nodded at him.
“Seriously, who taught you how to speak “Alician”?”
“Oh, Lilia-san taught me.”
...What.
“Lilia-san also had been teaching me how to apply runic magic by asking the world to lend their mana to me as well.”
...What.
Gri-chan took that moment to exclaim. “Wait!” He now looked up to Yuu-chan. “So you mean all those times you’ve been telling me that you’re off studying with Lilia tutoring you, Lilia is teaching you on how to use magic!?”
“What.” Ace-chan and Deuce-chan simultaneously utter out in a flat tone.
“Pretty much.” Yuu-chan admitted, turning to the Adeuce duo and monster cat. “None of you asked about what I actually would be studying with Lilia-san so I never really talked about it.”
“You should’ve talked about it, we’re your pals aren’t we!?” Ace had a mock like betrayed look on his face.
“I doubt you’d be interested.” Yuu-chan admitted. Adding. “Even if you did, Lilia-san told me that the world’s Mana and the Mana in magicians don’t mix naturally, so a magician using them too much is the equivalent of getting an allergy to normal people. And that doesn’t sound like something you’d willingly learn as someone whose naturally born with magic.”
They all blanched at the thought.
“Alright, never mind.”
Gri-chan only tilt his head in wonder. “What are allergies?”
“You know how Lyle starts sneezing and wheezing like no tomorrow when he smell a whiff of the flower pollen in the botanical gardens and start having rashes on his skin last week?”
Gri-chan paled at Yuu-chan’s explanation.
“Yikes, I don’t wanna experience that.”
Yuu-chan shrugged. “Besides, with how I was never born with any mana at all,” Yuu-chan looked as the flower they were holding slowly wilts, and disintegrates along with the paper.
“This is a perfectly safe method to use magic for someone magicless like I am.”
They stare as the pieces of paper crumble down into small dusty pieces.
“...So how did you get Lilia-chan to actually agree to teach you?” Cater questioned them.
At the question, he noted how they reached for their neck, as if a phantom pain still existed there.
“It’s Lilia-san who suggested it to me first. I just took his offer since...”
Ah.
He gets it now.
Ace-chan and Deuce-chan screaming over Yuu-chan’s fallen body with Gri-chan running for them shortly after they brought Riddle-kun back to his senses from his overblot.
Their school uniform and hood sweater dyed in bloody red.
Lan-Lan, Trey and some of the Heartslabyul students screaming at the Headmaster to get help for Yuu-chan-
He supposed when you’re in a near death experience, you’re bound to not let yourself be in that position anymore.
“And the bracelet?” Ace-chan questioned this time.
“This?” Yuu-chan rolled the sleeves of their hood jacket and shirt, showing off an antique looking bracelet with letters engraved on it.
“Lilia-san gave this to me as a target practice based on what I learned from him. It’s a rune that I applied based on whether or not any physical and/or magical attacks are coming my way.”
“...That sounds like an overkill and just thinking too much, don’t you think?”
Yuu-chan gave Ace-chan a grin. “I’d like to call myself well-prepared.”
________________________________________________________
“Aaahhhhh!!!!”
Gri-chan suddenly shouted out loud. Surprising the other students.
“I- I know who has that unique magic!”
Yuu-chan frowned, eyebrows furrowed. “...It’s that Savanaclaw student Ruggie, isn’t it?”
Cater paled, recalling what Yuu-chan accused the rest of Savanaclaw for doing yesterday.
He’d forgotten all about it from his panic yesterday!
“Yuu-chan... you suspected Savanaclaw as a whole are behind this since the start?”
Riddle-kun’s eyes widened. “Wha- is it true!?”
“Totes! Riddle-kun! Yuu-chan said something about how the Savanaclaw students are too calm in the face of this whole mess of problems of students getting caught in accidents that injure them yesterday!”
Yuu-chan shook their head. “It’s just a guess I made based on their reactions and mood they had at the time Cater-senpai. I’m only saying that as a bluff so we can escape.”
“...Actually, Yuu’s on the mark on this one.” Kalim-kun spoke up. He placed a hand under his chin, pondering.
“I looked up a bit on who got hit by the accident. Among all the students I know and checked on who are known to be injured...”
Beside him, Jamil-kun’s eyes widened, he supposed Jamil-kun also knew who the students were as he revealed. “None of the victims are from Savanaclaw.”
As the realization hits, the other students begin to murmur.
“Now that they said it...”
“Yeah, I heard from my pal in class D about who got targeted but none of the kids he named are from Savanaclaw...”
“Then...”
“...I think it’s still too early to tell whether or not are Savanaclaw as a whole were actually behind this.” Yuu-chan utter out. Then suggesting. “If we want to get the confirmation that they really are behind this, we should interrogate one of them first.”
Riddle-kun cleared his throat. “That’s true. Assumptions and deductions can turn moot without a legitimate proof.”
“...So what class is Ruggie-san in?” Yuu-chan wondered.
“Oh! Ruggie’s in 2-B!”
________________________________________________________
Yuu felt panic when the weight on her wrist is gone.
She rolled her sleeves up and saw that the bracelet she had to defend herself is gone.
She couldn’t have dropped it back in 2-B didn’t she-
“Sorry senpai, you go ahead! I need to get something I dropped!”
She ran ahead with Shiro on her shoulder, not waiting to hear for their replies and Grim choosing to go with Riddle and Cater.
She can’t lose that bracelet so soon, not when Lilia-san gave her that bracelet as a gift and as one of her few means of defense-
She returned back to the class, asking if any of the students saw a bracelet on the ground.
And the students told her no.
So she left the class and decided to look around the halls.
It was when she was about to make her way to turn right that Shiro mewed, pulling on her ear with his bite, the pain was enough for her to escape the haze of her own panic.
And she looked in front of her.
A group of beastmen students stood a good distance in front of her.
She saw the telltale of the Savanaclaw dorm vest at their uniform.
And their gazes turn to her, as if they planned to hunt.
Why did they-
She then recalled how Ruggie stole Riddle-san and Cater-senpai’s magical pens without anyone noticing before panic hits her when she realized that her bracelet has gone missing.
She exhaled a quiet sigh as the realization hits.
She’s been trapped.
________________________________________________________
“Ah, you’re not getting this back though~.”
Ace felt dread running his veins once Ruggie Bucchi took out an old looking bracelet from his pocket.
He may have only seen it several times but he recognized that bracelet anywhere.
“This? Lilia-san gave this to me as a target practice based on what I learned from him. It’s a rune that I applied based on whether or not any physical and/or magical attacks are coming my way.”
Ace stepped forward but the Hyena beastman is already steps ahead of him and left before Ace could catch him.
He gritted his teeth and soon vented his frustration to the nearest tree.
“Dammit!”
“Ace, what are you doing!?” Deuce exclaimed.
“...It’s a trap.” He answered. Soon elaborating once he saw Deuce and Grim’s questioning gaze. “He stole Yuu’s defense rune infused bracelet to trap Yuu so all of us can get off their trail.”
“Fnah!? He did-”
Ace took out his phone and decided to give calling Yuu a shot, hoping that he could get an answer.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
“Ace?”
“Yuu, where the hell are you?”
“Wha-”
“Just answer me, will you!?”
“...I’m at the library with Morgan and Shiro.”
“Library? Aight. Just stay put there, got it!?”
“Huh... sure.”
He ended the call.
“Was that Yuu?” Deuce wondered.
“...Yeah, he’s okay.”
________________________________________________________
“Your friends are quite worried sick for you from the sound of it.” Morgan, the librarian of Night Raven College spoke to her.
She shrugged in response.
She hadn’t really given it a thought but ever since that fight with an overblotted Riddle, Ace, Deuce and Grim had been sticking close to her and didn’t let her go all by herself unless she has another company.
If they’re not around, Mel, Lyle or Kasper comes with her.
Heck, they only let her go to her lessons with Lilia because those were the only days that Lando tagged along with her.
Sure, they lighten up their vigilant watch on her once Shiro proves to be capably good for a familiar so she was able to go by her own self, and she figured that whatever happened after she passed out in the aftermath of that fight terrified them enough that they decided to keep watch on her.
But it’s honestly suffocating. Just a bit.
Either way.
She managed to escape from them with some of the other runes she had in hand and was thankful she had the mind to place a rune on her shoes and clothes with other functions in mind since they really helped as she and Shiro evade the group of Savanaclaw students chasing after them.
She did include a rune that prevents the bracelet from being destroyed in any form, but she failed to account the possibility that someone can steal it.
If she can get the bracelet back, or if she gets another new bracelet, she’s going to have to apply a runic mechanism that would prevent it from being stolen again.
Morgan simply nodded at her. “Now, please explain why are you running in the library and requested that I “hide” you from the rowdy Savanaclaw students coming in and making a ruckus in the library. For the record, I don’t care if the library is currently empty, all I care about is the fact that they look like they’re about to damage the property and peace of my library.”
...Well.
For as long as she knew the librarian, Morgan took their job as librarian seriously and will not tolerate people causing a ruckus in it.
...Or damaging the books and furniture in it.
...Morgan is otherwise relaxed and fun to talk to, if you aren’t notorious enough to be put on Morgan’s personal blacklist.
“...It’s a long story.”
________________________________________________________
“Ruggie, I heard you got chased around by those Heartslabyul kids in the afternoon.” Leona starts pleasantly, before his grin morphed to a scowl.
“That’s why I told you to not leave a single evidence, you fool!”
Ruggie’s ears drooped down at the sight of Leona’s scowl. “Th- that’s not it! There’s some circumstances there...” And then he continued. “But they haven’t gotten their hands on any of the evidence so don’t worry about it!”
Leona scoffed. “Yeah, all but that kid from Ramshackle.”
Ah, yes. The kid who figured out that they’re the ones behind the whole thing simply from observing the body language and expressions of everyone in Savanaclaw during that time they came here with the Heartslabyul people.
He had to admit that the kid got guts and smarts to be able to figure it out from their body language.
But what surprised him more was what the kid did following his claim and accusation.
Leona has an inkling suspicion at what caused the magicless kid to suddenly be able to use magic, since it’s nigh impossible for a magicless person to have magic overnight.
He inspected the rocks that the kid sneakily dropped all around the arena to shock them all as they made their escape. The rocks are carved with runes.
But what runes are used, he doesn’t know.
He maybe best at Ancient Incantations but that doesn’t mean that he knows every single rune out there.
Or the ancient languages used for the runes.
That’s why he asked Ruggie to steal something from the kid if he could and hinged on a plan that with how the kid suspected him and the rest of Savanaclaw, the kid would follow the Heartslabyul kids again to investigate the incidents, Joe, Amare and Talib will gather some of the other students they can trust and be on standby near Ruggie’s class to see if the group comes by and then surround the kid to keep their mouth shut.
From what he heard, though, the kid managed to escape in spite of falling into the trap.
“Did you managed to snatch something?” He decided to ask Ruggie.
“Here ya go Leona-san!” Ruggie obliged, grinning at him and handed over something from his pocket.
An old looking bracelet that doesn’t seem so odd to be on the hands of that Lilia, knowing his odd fascination with traveling.
Runes are carved onto the wooden parts of the bracelet.
He still couldn’t recognize the language used in the runes yet. But he still needs to test it out.
“Ruggie, try shooting magic at me.”
“Eh? Sure... if you say so.”
Ruggie readied his magic pen and shoot an icicle his way.
A rune engraved wall formed out of air before the icicle could reach him and put Ruggie’s attack to a halt, the icicle propelling back to Ruggie’s direction.
Ruggie dodged to his right. “What was that for Leona-san!?”
“I knew something’s fishy.” Leona looked back at the bracelet. He decided to use his unique magic on the bracelet next, but instead of the bracelet disintegrating, the same runic wall circled around the bracelet, preventing it from getting destroyed in the first place.
“The kid’s 100% magicless. They just use a method of using and channeling magic that is so old that nobody except the faeries use it in this present day.”
It was covered by Trein once when he talked about the history of magic when he was a first year or so, but because the method is so old, nobody considered that anybody would try to use it.
The only reason faeries can use the method is because they are naturally more in tune with nature than a majority of the magicians.
He initially thought that Crowley taught the kid, with Crowley being in charge of the kid’s stay here and all, but the bracelet said otherwise.
He still smelled a whiff of Lilia’s scent on the bracelet, even if the bracelet mostly reek of the kid’s scent at this point. And nothing of the crow on it.
And the bracelet is engraved with the non-verbal application of the runes meant for defensive purposes.
He supposed that it’s a good idea that the kid’s escaped.
That would have put everyone in Savanaclaw under Diasomnia’s radar otherwise, especially if Lilia’s already fond enough of the kid to consider them one of his own and teach the kid how to use the world’s Mana to channel magic.
“So what do we do about it Leona-san?”
Leona’s lips curve to a grin. “We wait for the right moment to hunt the kid and bring them to our territory.”
For the record, Yuu (Rei) only finally revealed what she identify as after the Magift tournament. So everyone else sans those in the know still think that Yuu (Rei) is a guy.
Yuu (Rei) doesn’t mind revealing it if people asked her about it, like Kalim and Lilia, but otherwise, she’ll keep quiet about it. If you don’t ask her, she won’t answer.
This piece is written to give a view on how the method of formalcraft works in this fic.
So yes, Mana allergies are a thing.
Yuu (Rei) might have her knowledge of the original Disney movies to back up for at times, but this time in Savanaclaw, her knowledge and savvy-ness backfired on her as Yuu (Rei) being savvy enough ended up making her a target by the Savanaclaw students since she nearly figured them out as culprits and believe that she now knows too much of their plans.
As for the language Alician, it’s not a made up language I had, but rather, it’s inspired by the band “Alice Schach and the Magic Orchestra”, who used the language for their songs.
My personal favorite song of the band is “FEHLT”, which is also included in the rhythm game Deemo. (I like the version used for the Diverse System album, AD Piano VII, more. Though both versions are equally good in their own right).
That’s it for now.
See you next time!

Three Wishes Institute - A TWST fanschool
Reposting this as I’ve changed my URL which broke all the links in my previous lore post, and since I’ve gotten a lot of new followers lately and wanted them to be able to read it properly.
Tumblr media
First off, as a concept, Three Wishes is a fanschool for twisted wonderland that involves characters that are considered ‘side’ or ‘background’ or even ‘comic relief’ characters from disney franchises. Right now I only have 6 dorms, and characters range from being on both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ sides of a story.
Here’s the lore rundown for the main school itself and a brief summary on the dorms and characters I will be designing for them. Under readmore cause this is HELLA long and I don’t want to make people scroll for forever:
The overall story of Three Wishes:
The Headmistress and Master, Amelia Bell and Reed Dearly (based on Anita and Roger from 101 dalmatians), only recently got the school property. Before them, the school was known to be really rundown, a failure, and pretty much on the verge of closing. While it was a school for magic, it was like all the magic was zapped out of the school itself. It was filled with delinquents and very few students who actually cared. Most dropped out if anything.
Amelia was a teacher at the school for a little over a year and the only teacher that students really respected and bothered showing up to class for. She hated seeing the school in the state it was in and tried pleading with the headmistress of the school to try and change things - however was constantly told it was too late and that the school would be closing. It did, and Amelia had to look for jobs elsewhere. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that she could have done more and found herself drawn back to the crumbling school on more than one occasion. She decided to sneak in one day to see if she could find a hint of anything from the old headmistress - who had disappeared without a trace - to see if she could get in contact with her. This wasn’t her idea of course, but her (boyfriend at the time) Reed’s.
Eventually they did track down the headmistress and found her terribly ill. Amelia insisted that the two of them care for her, despite all that the headmistress had done to shun Amelia beforehand. They did, and during that time Amelia explained the hopes she had previously had for the school - she said how she wanted a school that anyone could feel welcome to apply, and not have some special ceremony for acceptance (like the carriages for NRC). She believed people could be equals and that as a magical community they should all help one another. The old headmistress was moved by Amelia’s words and when she back to health she revealed herself to be a powerful sorceress (the enchantress from Beauty and the Beast. No design as of now). She explained she had been looking for a worthy successor for the school and her magic but didn’t find Amelia fitting at the time, but saw the kindness in Amelia’s heart and offered her the deed to the school and the surrounding grounds. She wanted to see what Amelia would do with the school and was interested if she could really bring a community together like she explained. Then, she disappeared.
Amelia and Reed worked to renovate the school, taking nearly 2 years on the project. Amelia comes from a wealthy family, but even then funds were not endless, so a lot of fundraising was done to also raise awareness for the reopening school. At first there wasn’t much interest but it slowly got more and more traction. With donations and family money, they were able to complete the school. The two of them also got engaged during this time. Even with them rebuilding the mainschool and doing some maintenance on the dorms themselves, there are some secrets that even the two of them are still learning, as the sorceress took off before giving them the full details on the school itself.
The school’s aim is to not only teach its students magic, but the foundation of being a good person, being helpful and selfless. The school holds a lot of community and fundraising events, and there is even a mandatory volunteering class where students have to spend a certain amount of hours volunteering for a local community service. This school hopes to bridge the gap between the elite and average magic users, showing that deep down everyone is human and deserving of respect and a chance to grow.
This school doesn't have completely different areas for the dorms and it's all actually located on a large campus ground.The main school building is about 4 stories, there's a greenhouse and an auditorium in separate buildings.
The dorms are all two or three stories and are all relatively distant from each other, enough to give each dorm a good spot of land around it. Think a mansion with a large yard. When passing through the front gate for the dorm there's magic that makes it appear in a slightly different scenery - so the students don't always have the school looming in the background and can relax. The dorm's scenery is different between each dorm and it can change with each 'dorm representative'.
There aren't really dorm 'leaders' as there are representatives. Normally about two or three for each dorm - though can only be one if the person proves themselves to be capable / no one else is voted. Each dorm will have a meeting once a month to go over things that the dorm needs to address either internally or with the school or other dorms, and then the representatives bring those concerns to a meeting with the school's staff and other dorm representatives. Think more like a student council and class presidents. The representatives make almost all decisions together. Reps are voted for each year within a dorm, and the voting is taken pretty seriously.
The dorm rep duties outside of the meetings is mostly just like a college RA. They make sure people are following the rules, help solve problems between students in their dorm, plan and hold events, etc.
The dorms:
While students are separated into dorms in this school, the headmaster and mistress try to stress the fact that they are all one community. Friendly rivalry is encouraged but ultimately the matter of dorms is just where the students end up living and placing them near people who can better help those around them. The two in charge don’t want the dorms to become too competitive or to alienated from one another - so there’s actually a lot of cross dorm events and even friends staying over at other friends dorms for days on end at times.
As a note, as long as it’s not inappropriate, students are encouraged to wear anything they want as their ‘dorm uniform’. Standard school uniforms are required on the main campus but as Headmaster Reed puts it - there’s no reason for them to tell the students what to wear in their own house. Plus, the school isn’t as well funded as most other private schools, so not having a lot of uniforms to keep up with is better for them in the long run. They don’t even have a formal ceremonial robe like NRC does, but I will be posting about the uniforms in a different post.
Now onto the dorms themselves.
Cinderella dorm: Nightingale Founded on the hard work and dedication of a princess’s companions, members of this dorm are no strangers to teamwork and getting the job done. It’s said that there’s no miracle students in this dorm can’t pull off in a short amount of time. Members of this dorm are close and they will drop anything they’re doing to help another. 
Read the profiles for the students apart of this dorm here!
Snow White: Diamanttobar Founded on the tradition and devotion of miners, members of this dorm specialize in working long hours and putting 100% into everything they do.They might be hard to win over, but once you have their companionship little will shake their loyalty. Students here notice the smaller details and are said to be able to craft nearly anything.

Beauty and the Beast: Servireu Founded on the faith and loyalty of a Beast Prince’s servants, members of this dorm are known to be generous, not judgemental, and helpful to those around them. A lot of these students are at the top of their classes and are known for being excellent tutors for others. Though a little eccentric, they obviously mean well and have good intentions.

Annnnddd that’s it! I plan to possibly redo my dorm lore dump post aswell as make a separate post for the uniforms once I have them designed. also the staff will be getting their own posts aswell when I finish their designs too.

zukka hp au part 4
zukka hp au:  Zuko’s a Gryffindor in a family of Slytherins, and Sokka’s a Ravenclaw. 
This is really long by now, but these are the original posts: 
part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 part 6 part 7 part 8 part 9 part 10 part 11 part 12 part 13
If you would like to join the tag list
This is kind of random bits and pieces I wanted to add:
Suki might be my favorite in this au
She’s just so self-assured and knows who she is
She’s really really popular and she’s always got time for the younger students
Like no problem is too small 
You lost your cat? Get Suki. You need help on a potions essay? Get Suki. You’re really stressed and scared and worried you don’t belong? Suki’s always happy to listen and give advice if you want it
She’s a prefect and on track to be Head Girl. She’s extremely unbiased and all the Houses are happy to go to her. Even Slytherin, which surprised people at first, but she’s just a solid friend to everyone and doesn’t play favorites
She’s pretty dedicated to her work as well
Not much is known about the Kyoshi warriors at Hogwarts
They’re a tight knit group, but everyone has intense respect for them
They’re badass and they get shit done
Suki’s been playing Keeper since second year
She’s just that good
Other people thought that she’d want to be seeker, and she’s decent at it
She’s a wicked chaser
But she’s really reliable, so she tends to play Keeper because Gryffindor doesn’t really have anyone better at the moment
I’m kind of playing around with the idea that the Kyoshi also are werewolves? But I’m changing how that works. You’re either born a werewolf or you can learn how to become one with some variation on becoming an Animagus. But no one outside the Kyoshi know if that’s more than a rumor or not. Still intense respect. Werewolves are accepted by society in this au. Individual people and families might have their own issues, but none of that stigma. Still need to work out the kinks of this
For Toph- you can’t beat her in a duel
If you actually get past her regular magic, her earth magic just sticks you in a corner so you have to think about what you’ve done
She’s the youngest, but she knows she’s the best
She doesn’t talk about herself much, but you can tell her parents make her sad
She’s pretty sure she’s aro ace
If she can kick your ass, she’s satisfied
So that’s Suki in Gryffindor, Aang in Hufflepuff, Sokka in Ravenclaw, Toph in Slytherin, Zuko in Gryffindor
I’m not sure where to put Katara, I kind of really want Hufflepuff, because she’s reliable and loyal, but sometimes, she’s very Gryffindor
Also, Bumi is the headmaster
He’s absolutely nuts
But he drives Ozai and Sozin crazy
Because he knows EVERYTHING
I’m now wondering if Iroh should be potions master
Zuko’s favorite place is the lake
He likes to hang out with the turtleducks
And watch the giant squid 
Once he snuck down to the Slytherin common room to see the squid just swim around from the windows showing the lake
I am going to redeem Azula 
She might lose her mind a little first
But Mai and Ty Lee have her back
I’d really like to see Azula be friends with Suki
I also need to come up with backstory as to why Sozin and the water tribe have beef
Like everyone hates Sozin
But what is the specific crap
I think the water tribe hates them, because, shhh, it’s still a secret to the gaang, but he sent the man who ambushed and killed Sokka and Katara’s mom
But I haven’t worked out what exactly made him do it
I have to figure out what exactly the prophecy says
Maybe they thought it could also apply to the water tribe
Also, I swear zukka will happen
It’s just this is very enemies to friends to lovers
Like this will be the slowest burn
They might pine for a couple years
part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 part 6 part 7 part 8 part 9 part 10 part 11 part 12 part 13

Sort of off-topic (sorry!) but as a British person, do you think Oxbridge are as elitist as many say they are? I was really surprised to learn how many graduates populate pretty much every facet of society (especially in entertainment & politics) and how many of them were results of private school education.
Absolutely. It’s not so much that Oxbridge is overwhelmingly populated by private school kids (it’s about 40%) but it’s that those kids tend to come from extremely privileged backgrounds that give them a massive leg-up in the world, hence why you see them everywhere. Oxbridge is a place where you build your connections and carry them through for the rest of your life - and it’s also a place for the brightest and most ambitious, so that combination itself is a recipe for a success.
The elitist reputation tends to come from the kids themselves. Private school kids often mingle with private school kids, and you end up with class divisions amongst the student body. Private school kids also tend to help only other private school kids, so those golden opportunities stay within their inner circles.
I can give you examples of where that inequality comes into play, because I went to a private boarding school. The kind that our prime ministers tend to hail from. Insanely elitist - not just the students, but the teachers themselves. Boy, the stories there.
So my school encouraged each of us to apply to Oxbridge and only the very best universities. We had individual training to meet Oxbridge and those other university requirements. I went for Cambridge, and my school had me preparing since I was 15 (we were all Oxbridge-trained, regardless of whether we applied or not). Mock interviews, mentoring, tailored reading lists to show off to the interviewers. They set up personal meetings with successful alumni who went through our applications with us and in some cases, put in a good word with the university to get us in.
In the end, I had a place at Cambridge but missed out on my grade requirements, so I ended up going to another university that I absolutely adored. But my school took me pretty much all the way there - all that was left was literally me doing the exams. And even then, I know one kid who flunked out and didn’t get into LSE (a super competitive London university) but because his dad was a finance minister of a powerful country, our headmaster literally called the admissions board and guess who magically got a place? Unbelievable, but not really, sadly.
My grandfather is both a school alumni and went to Oxford, and he got my brother into a Masters course because his old classmate from school runs the admissions for one of the colleges. My brother didn’t even apply, the place was offered to him if he sent his transcripts to the guy directly and proved he had the grades that met Oxford standards.
I got my first job through my school’s alumni network, because the head of the company was the father of a classmate (I worked hard too though, not to knock my own achievements here.) Another Oxford-graduate friend of mine got an amazing job in finance straight out of university. Why? The alumni network, one of our own was a senior manager and landed him a gig just because he messaged them.
That’s where the elitism comes from. You may be at the same school, but the difference between private and state schools is unimaginable. What door isn’t open? What opportunity isn’t available? It’s so much easier to breeze your way to any job you want in any sector you please when you’ve got the connections that pave the way for you. Oxbridge happens to be the best platform because the standard of education is so high. But even then, it only takes you so far - connections take you the rest of the way.
So yeah, you could say there’s a little bit of elitism going on. Oxbridge has a higher concentration of privilege than other places and more of their graduates go on to bigger things, so it’s just more noticeable.

Sins of omission
I think that one of the reasons I liked Carnival Row so much more than most of the reviewers is that I didn’t pay too much attention to the details of the plot but to the themes it covers. As my previous post from around half way through shows the main mystery wasn’t hard to figure out but the show never pretends it should be (it spells it out pretty much right after that point).
The interesting part was how it shows the cost of people being forced to hide their true selves. The lies, the deceit and the atrocities committed in the name of the status quo. And what it takes to break free. All the stuff that I loved about Blade Runner 2049.
SPOILERS
There is a moment when Philo talks to Master Thorne about sins of omission and how they’re worst kind because they are easier to get away with it. Or at least that what people think as the story is about how you never really get away with it. The lies eat you from the inside (see the monster is a metaphor) until there is nothing of you left. After all what saves Philo from death is truth. Both literally when he tells it to his father but also when he stops denying who he really is. He can go back to omission and get his old life back but he sticks with the truth.
But in the place like Republic of the Burgue the personal lies don’t have just personal consequences. The oppressive systems that force people into those lies of omission are all rotten from the inside. And then just the little push can take the whole structure comes down.
If only Piety and Sophie were allowed to stand on their own and lead on their own merit instead of being forced to submit to men in their lives. If Piety could’ve been the one with great destiny instead of putting all her hopes and dreams first in her husband and then in her son would it matter Jonah wasn’t Absalom’s and Philo was alive? She was so bent on being the wife and mother of the great men she treated them as objects in achieving that destiny not people. Truth is she treated a lot of people like objects to achieve that. Certainly, it didn’t matter that her son wished no part in it. If only Jonah was allowed to be his own person and not fed lies about everything maybe he would find his own path to greatness.
Well, she got her wish in the end and he is on precipice of it anyway. Forced into position he is woefully unprepared for but he did inherit some of the right instincts and he learnt some of the right values and at least he can pick his advisers. But now he has to chose between following his blood or the ideas of the man who raised him. Does he have enough skill and will power to chose his own path? He has the smarts - what I said about characters figuring out the stuff quickly in my previous post applies to him very well - from spotting his mother the moment he is freed to finding out Sophie was behind it all.
If Sophie wasn’t bound to only do what her father deemed appropriate. If she could go to university or travel. If she wasn’t devoid of relationships with other people maybe she wouldn’t turn into total psychopath. At first I hoped she might fight for the oppressed but she only cares about the how she was mistreated. Then I wondered if she’s truly a bigot but she only cares about the power it can give her. She caused all of this basically for the lulz. And then climbed on the top of the ruin and claimed it for herself. Even Jonah can only oppose her on paper as his side lost all the popular support. Look at the spoils that wielding the truth like a hammer brought her.
But the truth wouldn’t be so devastating to all involved if the system wasn’t already rotten through. Those lies destroy lives in small ways - like Headmaster and the Doctor being force to hide their love - but it can bring the whole thing down when poked in the right spot. Philo’s whole existence was a lie of omission that turned into rot to the support beam of the whole construct. And it would be nice to see it fall but the sad truth is that those on top that made it this way in the first place are often the ones that land gently and the whole weight ends up on the heads of those already most vulnerable.
