The Rise of Magical Entrepreneurs: A Spellbinding New Era of Innovation and Opportunity

Ladies, gents, and magical creatures of all kinds, prepare to be dazzled! The wizarding world is abuzz with an entrepreneurial spirit, and we're here to give you the inside scoop on this enchanting new era of innovation and opportunity. Thanks to the Ministry of Magic and the mesmerising Wizarding Business Act, these ambitious wizards and witches are revolutionising our community, and we simply can't keep quiet about it!

First up, we have the potion-making prodigy, Plutonium Jones. This talented young entrepreneur has bewitched us all with his groundbreaking company, Potions by Plutonium. Ever since he could hold a wand, Jones has been concocting magical potions that have captured the hearts and minds of witches and wizards everywhere. In an exclusive interview with the Daily Prophet, Jones unveiled his plans to further expand his enchanting empire and bless us with even more potions (Daily Prophet, 12th February 1982). "I believe in pushing the boundaries of potion-making and sharing my creations with the magical community," says Jones. "The support from the Ministry has been invaluable." Plutonium Jones, you've got us under your spell!

Not only have these entrepreneurs captivated the potion market, but they've also enchanted our taste buds! Enter the delightful duo of Matilda and Millie Macaroon, sisters and founders of the ever-popular Macaroon's Magical Confections. With their enchanting sweets and charming personalities, these two are a force to be reckoned with. A recent article in the British Wizarding Food Review highlights their incredible journey, from humble beginnings in a tiny kitchen to becoming the sensation they are today (British Wizarding Food Review, January 1982). Matilda shares their story: "We wanted to bring something unique and delightful to the wizarding world, and that's when we discovered our passion for magical sweets. It's been an incredible journey, and we're so grateful for the support we've received."

And who could forget Sarah Johnson, the brilliant mind behind the ever-popular bookshop, Magic and More? Her love for literature and her extensive knowledge of all things magical have transformed her charming little shop into a must-visit destination for wizards, witches, and bookworms alike. As mentioned in Magical Books: A Comprehensive Guide, Magic and More is your go-to destination for fascinating reads and captivating conversations about the latest magical developments (Higgins, 1981). Sarah Johnson shares an anecdote, "I once had a young wizard come into the shop, searching for a rare tome. After hours of scouring the shelves, we found it, and the look of joy on his face made all the effort worth it." Sarah Johnson, you've written a new chapter of success!

Speaking of success, let's not forget Sirius Black's Black Moon Tattoos, a tattoo parlour nestled in the heart of Knockturn Alley. In an interview with Wizarding Tattooist Monthly, Sirius shares the story of how his passion for body art led him to open his own tattoo parlour (Wizarding Tattooist Monthly, November 1981). "I've always been fascinated by the way tattoos can tell stories and express who we are as individuals," he says. "Opening Black Moon Tattoos has allowed me to share my passion for magical body art with the world." Sirius, your artistic vision has left a permanent mark on the wizarding world!

Now, you're probably wondering who's responsible for this magical entrepreneurial boom. Well, look no further than our very own Ministry of Magic. The Wizarding Business Act has made it easier than ever to start and run a business in the wizarding world, providing easier access to capital, grants, and supporting small businesses and startups like never before. The Department of Magical Economics and the Innovation and Development Department have joined forces to provide resources and assistance to these visionary entrepreneurs, enabling them to conjure up new products and services that have improved our lives and generated significant profits.

But don't just take our word for it! Let's hear from an expert in the field. The esteemed Professor Miranda Fiddlesticks from the Wizarding Academy of Higher Education had this to say about the current state of wizarding entrepreneurship: "The Wizarding Business Act has ushered in a new age of innovation and opportunity. By streamlining the process of starting and running a business, the Ministry has enabled a new generation of magical entrepreneurs to flourish. This is truly an exciting time for the wizarding world."

So, to all our talented and ambitious witches and wizards out there, we encourage you to dream big and pursue your passions. After all, who knows? You could be the next Plutonium Jones or Matilda Macaroon! And to our magical community, let's rally behind these inspiring entrepreneurs and support their endeavours. Together, we can make the wizarding world an even more magical place to live.

That's all for now, folks! Keep your wands at the ready for more spellbinding stories and updates from your favourite magical magazine. Remember, the world of magic is ever-changing, and we're here to keep you in the loop. Stay tuned, and as always, let the magic guide you!

What are your favourite Jonah’s projects? ☺️🎬

~ plays TikTok Sound~

OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS QUESTIOOOONNN

So since May 2023 (what happened there? I have no idea 😉) I've watched everything Jonah-related I could get my hands on (except for Little Women, but I'm definetly going to watch that later this year).

My top 3 Jonah projects OTHER than The Little Mermaid (because truth be told, I think it's pretty clear how obsessed I am with that movie and it's not really a fair comparison to some of the more indepent, even low budget projects Jonah has starred in) so far:

1. World on Fire (2019 - 2023)

created by: Peter Bowker directed by: Chanya Button, Thomas Napper, Adam Smith, Andy Wilson Jonah plays: Harry Chase

Big shocker, right? Given how much I already rambled about Harry and Kasia (my traumatised parents) and how upset I was when they cancelled it. I will always mourn this show for the huge potential it had.

World on Fire is a BBC-show following different people in Britain, Poland, Germany and France (with some American viewpoints as well) as they have to endure and navigate their life through World War II. Doesnt really sound like anything we haven't seen, right? However, World on Fire is worth checking out imo, since it differs a lot from the usual Hollywood-infused war epics, because rather than focusing on the politics or the big battles, the show looks more closely at the everyday person that actually had to live through this tragedy and how they deal with what's happening. That being said, obviously this is still a show about WW II, so there definitely IS depiction of violence, murder and torture, as well as bombings, gunfire etc., so please be careful if you find any of those things triggering. I personally found some episodes quite hard to get through.

I think it's interesting that Jonah's filmography is very heavy on projects set during or related to WW II (additionally to WoF you have The Song of Names, Ashes in the Snow and ofc coming up The Tattooist of Auschwitz). Theories on why that is are welcome!

Harry Chase (brilliantly brought to life by our favourite British simp) differs quite a bit from many of Jonah's other roles in that he`s not your heroic, clean-cut good guy (like Andrius, Lucas, Mo or Prince Eric). He's insecure and a little helpless, even cowardly at times. Harry starts out as a translator, but later joins the British Army and the SOE. He fucks up repeatedly, both in his role as lieutenant, as well as in his personal life. Even though most of the time he means well, his cowardice ends up hurting a lot of people and leads him to be in the middle of a love triangle. (Though to me it's not a triangle, but rather a straight line, Team Kasia all the way.)

Harry, though deeply troubled, is a very kind and soft soul. That doesn't really pair well with the acts of war, as well as british society in the 1940s in general, which leads to conflict with other characters and their idea of who he should be. Especially when he clashes with his mother Robina (portrayed by the absolute MAGNIFICENT Lesley Manville, shes giving Emily Gilmore in the best way possible), Jonahs acting is ON POINT. His performance is so nuanced: He's angry, he's desperate, he's sad, but also condescending, sarcastic and hostile towards her. The interesting thing about Harry is the journey he takes. To watch him try to better himself by dealing with past trauma and taking responsibility for present mistakes. The real standout for his character is episode 5 of season 1 where he finally steps up and takes charge. This is also when he starts earning the respect of his sergeant Stan (Blake Harrison) for the first time - they have a real bromance, both on and off the show, I LIVE for these two.

But - just like in real life - he doesn't have this one breakthrough moment and everything is smooth sailing from there. He fluctuates, just like a real person would. He still has the tendency to run away from his problems, but I think what he's seen in the war, what happened at home and (yes, I'm making this about my ship) his love for Kasia (Zofia Wichlacz) make him realise the type of man he wants to be and he would probably try to act accordingly IF WE GOT A THIRD SEASON, BBC! 😤😡🤬

2. Old Boys (2018)

directed by: Toby MacDonald Jonah plays: Henry "Winch" Winchester

If you can only watch one Jonah movie, I beg of you MAKE IT THIS ONE!

I`ve found next to nothing about Old Boys and that seriously has to change. (watched the entire movie again, getting my non-existing gif-making skills ready, just the night before I got this ask, talk about fate)

This movie is so underrated, it doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. Make it make sense! How is nobody watching this cutie-patootie work of art? Its adorkable in the best sense of the word, it's heartwarming, a little silly and oh! so funny!

It's losely based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, set in an all-boys british boarding school in the 1980s. Given the source material, catfishing is definetly a thing here, keep that in mind if you might find that topic difficult.

Alex Lawther's character Amberson (cliché school nerd and victim of bullying) falls in love with the new french teachers daughter Agnes (Pauline Etienne) who in turn has a crush on First-Class-Himbo Winch (portrayed by a beautiful, dimple-faced, british actor). Because Agnes is very artistic and looking for someone that matches her vibe, Amberson helps Winch to try to impress her, because Winch himself is... well... a little dim 😅.

Winch is easily my favourite Jonah character to date (yes, including Prince Eric). I have seriously considered changing my tumblr-name to themightywinch because of him. I mean... he's corteous and punctual, after all 🤣😍.

While not the main character, he's definetly the highlight of the movie. Jonah is likeable, charming, the right kind of awkward in the right moments, has fantastic comedic timing and great chemistry with Alex Lawther.

Just look at that scene alone! IT`S. SO. CUTE!!! (cute-raging over here 😡) Watching this just makes you wish Jonah would star in more comedies, because he definetly has the skills for it! This is just a feel-good movie that leaves you smiling with a warm, fuzzy feeling in your heart. It has easily become one of my new comfort watches. Old Boys just never fails to make me laugh and I wish it would get more attention and recognition since it definetly deserves it! (like at least write a Wikipedia article about it) Btw, I bought this on Prime for 99ct, best money I ever spend!

3. The Last Photograph (2017)

(the trailer says 2019, but the movie was originally shown at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2017)

directed by: Danny Huston Jonah plays: Luke Hammond

Fair warning, this movie is gut-wrenching. I don't know if this qualifies as an actual trigger-warning, but this movie deals with the loss of a child/ death of a young person, as well as the real life tragedy of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombed in 1988 so proceed with caution.

Luke Hammond (Dimples McGee) is on said flight to visit his long-distance girlfriend Kate (Stacy Martin) in New York. Kate's and Luke's first meeting is a little awkward imo, I think it's meant to be like a meet-cute, especially with the whole "Bird"-thing, it just doesn't really work for me. But the rest of their love story is very endearing, they're just two young people experiencing love for the first time. Their time together is told through seemingly random, incoherent flashbacks and memories, just giving little glimpses of what their relationship was like and it's the cutest thing. Little intimate touches, hidden smiles, shared laughter... It's shot in a way as if you're watching them through rose-colored glasses, which is probably the point.

I love the way this movie uses different lighting and colour changes to depict a difference in the time line as well as the emotional state of the characters.

We only see Luke in flashbacks (guess why) and follow his dad Tom (Danny Huston) in present day (which in this case means 2003) as he is desperately trying to retrieve the last photograph (hence the titel) he possesses of his son after his bag was stolen. To see Tom slowly losing his grip as he grows more and more desperate to find the picture is truely heartbreaking. (It's a polaroid, so there are no copies, this is truely the last memory he has of Luke. God, I'm tearing up while writing this.)

Because Luke is basically just seen through the memory of his father who obviously holds him in high regard/ romanticizes the idea of his son, he is portrayed in a solely positive light, which usually wouldn't give much dimension to his character. Yet Jonah still manages to fill this role with life and witt and charisma, making you understand why Bird fell for him. He's sweet, romantic, a little bit shy, which works really well here, has the cutest laugh and clearly cares really deeply for his father. He's definetly portrayed as the "you simply have to love him" kinda guy, which is why his absence cuts so deep.

This is also in huge parts due to Danny Huston's performance. Honestly, the sweater-scenes (or jumper, if you're british 😉) almost broke me. And don't even get me started on his letter to Kate or Kate's letter to him... ugh. It's. So. SAD.

This is obviously not for everyday watch. However, even though The Last Photograph is heartbreaking, it doesn't necessarily leave you hopeless and depressed. This movie feels like a loving tribute to an actual person and therefore has a beauty in its melancholy. Throughout Tom's journey there is hope and forgiveness towards himself. There's a beautiful symmetry to the whole thing. The ending feels almost satisfying if you can say that in this context.

I also wanna give a shoutout to This Is The Night (2021). The movie itself isn't that great, it's a little all over the place and I think they tried to do a little too much all at once. But I looo~oooved Jonah in this, Christians character arc is by far the most interesting one and I wish the script gave their character justice in the way Jonah's and Naomi's acting did. (Also this is the HOTTEST he's ever looked which is a bit ironic).

This list is probably going to be outdated soon, since he has a lot coming out in the near future (I'm especially excited for Rich Flu).

Sorry, if this is too long and rambly and if it took too long for me to answer, I got a little carried away and suddenly had a lot of gifs to make 😅.

Thank you soooo much for the ask, @measuredmotion ❤️.

1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new tattoo 😍😍😍 2. I watch a lot of British TV and have heard many a reference to Viennattas and how delicious they are but have never had a chance to try one. I live in the desert and getting frozen goods imported here is a bit of a nightmare. Enjoy them a little extra on my behalf 💜

Thank you! A tiny little ode to my babies. There was a slightly awkward moment when the tattooist said “Do you actually want me to go in with the white? because you’re so pale it’s not going to make a difference.”

Like okay, Jarad, you don’t have to drag me like that.

Umm I’m very excited about these little gingerbread viennetta. There’s nothing better than a Viennetta. Nothing. It feels fancy and special and it crunches it’s great.

Lara Cory  escapeintolife.com ....      As the viewer digs a little deeper, a better understanding of de Medici’s concerns with power and control through violence become apparent. Her art and her message is accessible. You don’t need an explanation to enjoy and appreciate the visually enticing guns and skulls, and yet you still sense the beguiling paradox of her work.The artist’s style and subject matter seem to perfectly encapsulate her intention and her expression. Her art reflects the precision of natural history illustration, from which she draws her influence, as well as from her experience as tattooist. The subject matter and technique are forged together in a highly original context. De Medici explains in an interview that her penchant for working in miniature is due to the patience and skill she learned during her years as a tattooist. According to de Medici,  tattoos are emblems that people choose to represent their ideas. The imagery of guns and skulls therefore arises from this symbolic approach to meaning. The gun is the weapon of ultimate power and the skull is the result of that power. An exquisite and gentle moth pelt disguises and also magnifies the awareness of extinction and the abuse of power. (Remember that de Medici volunteered at CSIRO, assisting with the classification of rare moth species.) De Medici’s “impossible guns” with triggers made up of the microscopic filaments of moth hide are emblems of defenseless beauty and destruction. The echoes of natural history illustration in her work, invites connections to humanity, biology and life as art. De Medici’s guns and skulls are also reminders of the end of life, violence, and the ravaging of the natural world.The colors that the artist uses to convey her meaning are not randomly selected. They combine variations of the wing pattern of the Tortricidae superfamily of Microlepidoptera—a very small species of moth, found in the Asia Pacific region—flashes of the British and US flags; colonial drawings of the crash of the flagship of the First Fleet, the shipwrecked Sirius on the Norfolk Island reef; the Mobil horse, the BHP logo, Monsanto, Blackwater and numerous other colors loaded with meaning.And so, the imagery and materials of de Medici’s guns and skulls combine to form an aggregate of associations, ideas and influences. She fuses the organic, vulnerable, biological characteristics of the moth and the skull with the artificial, man-made gun and notions of power. She explores a range of antithetical insights, from the resplendent pelts of extinct moths to the hard, cold fact of weaponry. The artist transforms the ugliness and cruelty of violence by showing us the final, irreversible result of that violence in beguiling beauty.

The Great Omi was one of the most popular showmen of his time. He was tattooed over much of his body including his head and face, which had bold black zebra-like stripes. Sometimes referred to as the “Zebra Man”, Horace Ridler, (his real name) was born in Surrey, England around 1882 to a wealthy family. He served twice in the British Army as a commissioned officer, but left the military after the First World War, at the rank of major.

Ridler may have gotten some tattoos during his many years in the British Army, but in 1922 Ridler decided that show business was his life. He approached a tattooist who claimed to be Chinese and started turning himself into a tattoo attraction. This early tattooing was rather crude, but Ridler was able to make a modest living at music hall and fairgrounds.

A 106-Year-Old From The Philippines Is Vogue's Oldest Ever Cover Model!

Vogue Philippines has revealed Apo Whang-Od as the cover star of its April 2023 Issue, a move that makes the 106-Year-Old Tattoo Artist from the Philippines The Oldest Person Ever To Appear on the Front of Vogue.

Whang-Od — also known as Maria Oggay — has been perfecting the art of hand-tapping tattoos since she was a teen, learning under her father's instruction.

Residing in the mountain village of Buscalan, about 15 hours north of Manila, in Kalinga province, she is considered the country's oldest mambabatok — or traditional Kalinga tattooist.

Once, the hand-tapped tattoos that Whang-Od creates using just a bamboo stick, a thorn from a pomelo tree, water and coal, were earned by indigenous Butbut warriors.

Now, international visitors seeking her signature geometric designs make up much of her clientele.

"Heralded as the last mambabatok of her generation, she has imprinted the symbols of the Kalinga tribe—signifying strength, bravery, and beauty—on the skin of thousands of people who have made the pilgrimage to Buscalan," Vogue Philippines said in a post on social media.

The art can only be passed down to blood relatives, and Whang Od has been training her grandnieces Elyang Wigan and Grace Palicas for several years.

"(My friends who gave tattoos) have all passed away," Whang Od told CNN Travel in 2017.

"I'm the only one left alive that's still giving tattoos. But I'm not afraid that the tradition will end because (I'm training) the next tattoo masters."

"The tradition will continue as long as people keep coming to get tattoos," she added.

"As long as I can see well, I will keep giving tattoos. I'll stop once my vision gets blurry."

Vogue Philippines editor-in-chief Bea Valdes said staff at the publication decided unanimously that Whang-Od should go on the cover. "We felt she represented our ideals of what is beautiful about our Filipino culture.

"We believe that the concept of beauty needs to evolve, and include diverse and inclusive faces and forms. What we hope to speak about is the beauty of humanity," Valdes added.

Prior to Whang-Od's appearance in Vogue Philippines, the record for oldest Vogue cover model was held by actress Judi Dench, who appeared on the front of British Vogue in 2020, at the age of 85. Kate Springer contributed reporting.

CV development:

I've recently had an appointment with my local CV development centre and we went over everything I've been blogging about. I have quite a bit of work experience under my belt already being late to start university as I was serving in the British Army as a queens guars for a few years and after that I've been a joiner, security guard, Wearhouse operative and now a barman. I work well under pressure from my time in the army and it doesn't take me long to get used to a roll, I can pick up skills very quickly. They old me I should follow my plan of continuing to work as I apply and complete an apprenticeship and the aim of moving to another city to gain inspiration and a clear mind is a good idea. I'm not going to be working a regular 9 to 5 job for the rest of my life I know that deep down in my soul I have an innate artistic vision and I'm going to achieve it. we went over a plan once I've been tattooing a few years and got some experience and ill lay it down now. 

Put out adverts to train people to tattoo having them sign a contract that once trained they will be working for me and my shop for an number of years, rinse and repeat a few times then i can go about expanding business and eventually stop tattooing myself unless its for big pay as id be the head tattooist in the shop. I want to open a second floor for barbers and have the same done with a master barber and his pupils. then id open a 3rd floor and have it purely for merchandise and things were selling. the shop will gain notoriety and fame and people will come from far and wide given the right promotion. this will help me have the passive income, time and money I need to eventually be able to create my comic and dedicate myself to that.
