[endlessly-cursed]

top hp ocs of mine i wouldn’t fuck with and why

idea from @gaygryffindorgal​ 

1. gisella baptiste 

she has age on her side, she’s smart and learns fast. she can and will fight you with both magic and her own fists. has learned several martial arts, used to be a street kid who was later trained by none other than Rex Brokenshire ( @cursebreakerfarrier​ ) himself so uh... that’s a no for me kwsnwjkd 

2. nilufer sultan 

bro i mean... her father’s the freaking sultan!!! and though she’s not that powerful in the harem or the hierarchy, she has servants and many pasas willing to send executioners to your room. she’s, after all, a sultana by blood. her wishes are orders, including killing you. 

3. blanche dubois 

i mean, she’s a dragonologist!! i wouldn’t want to fuck with a woman who only needs to say the word and her dragons will burn you alive. besides, she can and will fight you and probably win so uh... another no for me 

4. delphine vixen 

she’s from a powerful and dangerous family, from the og Phoenix Resistance, escaped Voldemort and trained by Alastor Moody himself, as well as being an excellent fighter of martial arts in her own right, delphine makes it to the list of un-fuckable character 

5. lady primrose gray 

the queen herself, she’s friends with a freaking royal prince, a 700 yo vampire and her husband’s an earl, but what makes her powerful is her own lineage: she’s skilled in wandless magic, has the smarts, wits and bravery, as well as a sense of duty and will do anything to keep her birthright. duelled a powerful duke and won with a freaking longsword, not to mention she always gets what she wants and becomes a powerful woman on her own right, primrose is in the un-fuckable list 

6. cecilia balinor 

from a powerful pureblooded family, she becomes a powerful and dangerous hit witch and feared by many. she’s got knowledge of ancient magic so uh... another no for me 

7. marcellus thorne 

an influential socialite, he has enough money to either have you silent or gone from the country, he has the perfect contacts to end you. he’s also a very skilled duellist so... another no for me 

8. adonis demiurgos 

a champion dueller, he doesn’t like violence... but will do what it takes for his loved ones, and has that gryffindor bravado so... another nope for me 

9. lihuan wei 

she’s a freaking samurai, and so was her father, who’s a friend of the Chinese emperor and can and will cut you in half... ten years with the female samurais is no joke. another nope for me 

10. atticus demiurgos-kennedy 

the son of adonis, he’s x10 times smarter than anybody, ambitious and his wife is the magiens magister, who’s also a skilled witch. i pity you if they team up to kill you... another no for me 

11. elodie dubois 

one of the first to resist voldemort, she knew him personally and is a doctor... she doesn’t only know how to fix you, she also knows how to break you to the point of rendering you useless for anything, and her temper is no joke and is also a niece of blanche so uh... nope thanks smwjd

12. brunhilda of cologne 

one of salazar’s most powerful allies, she’s got knowledge and skill from very ancient magic, is the ancestor of blanche and elodie, she doesn’t need a wand to effing destroy you and have breakfast with your bones. another nope for me 

13. semele thorne 

descendant of marcellus, she’s very rich and popular, and knows everyone’s business, so she’ll know everything about you in no time, and will destroy you with that. she also is an skilled dueller and fighter so that’s a nope for me 

14. lennox arcano-thorne 

the fact that she’s an arcano makes her dangerous, but also a daughter of semele?? boy you’re done. because she’s a necromancer and the moment she rips off her gloves, you’re done for. another nope for me 

15. ernest di napoli 

last but not least, mr di napoli here used to be italian nobility, is a skilled dueller who kicked his father’s ass out of the country in a very difficuly duel, is an athlete and rich enough to end you himself. 

[garretschuelke]

Went and saw Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speak at St. Cecilia's Music Center for two reasons: 1) The spectacle of it all (i.e. it was a freak show), and 2) Eric B, as in one half of legendary Hip-Hop duo ERIC B AND RAKIM, was playing host to the event.

No way RFK would win, even if he was the Dem candidate. Fairly sure that most of his supporters will switch to Trump in November.

Resources for Cuban and Caribbean Folk Magic 🇨🇺

Disclaimer: Cubans are not a monolith so when we say ‘Cuban Folk Magic’ its like saying ‘American Folk Magic’ in the sense that it is a BROAD term that includes multiple different cultural threads and traditions. Start by researching your ancestors and where they were from as a jumping off point.

Also, many of these resources are not Cuban themselves, but they either share the same practices or are academic or general sources. I have made it clear when a source isn’t Cuban. For this reason, I have expanded it to be the Cuban AND Caribbean Folk Magic List.

**This list will grow as I find more resources that are reliable enough to share. If you have recommendations or would like to be added, please reach out.

Luz y Progreso 🕯️

(I also have included a Research Guide below the Cut!)

Guide to researching based on your ancestry:

If your family has African roots, you can seek Ocha/Lukumi, Palo, Arara, Cuban Vodou and other African Traditional Religions and Practices. Please approach elders within these respective practices to further your connection to them, rather than using books to create a practice for yourself. These are ancient, community based and are lifelong commitments, not just trendy powerful spells for you to get what you want.

If your family has indigenous roots, research Taino spirituality and modern practices , but also know that there were other tribes in the western and centeral parts of Cuba, with their own languages and traditions you can still learn about like the Guanahatabey. You may also consider joining a Yukayeke, but this isn’t required. Reconnecting and decolonizing is a separate and important topic that is not inherently witchcraft or folk magick-y… HOWEVER, researching and informing yourself with these practices can help you to see their influence within modern folk practices.

If your family has Asian roots, research the buddhist cults and folk practices throughout Cuba! Believe it or not, we also have people of Middle Eastern descent in Cuba who brought with them their own Hindu and Arabic Folk Traditions, which can be found throughout Cuba and the Caribbean as a whole.

If your family has Spanish roots, research some open practices like Espiritismo and Folk Catholicism! Look into the Patron Saints of Cuba, La Virgen de La Caridad del Cobre and San Lazaro. These also tie in to many of the other cultures who were forced to adopt certain elements to ensure survival of their traditions! You can also look into Brujería. Much like modern witchcraft, modern brujería has been commodified to hell and back, but there is still some great knowledge and power to be found there.

The fact of the matter is, that most of us can fit ourselves into two or more of these categories, and this crossover is where Folk Magic is often born. Its also important to note, in alot of these traditions you shouldn’t learn or share certain things at certain times, so some sources who share too much about Ocha and other ATRs should be avoided. Also, I can’t stress how important it is to talk to your family! Ask them about folklore or legends and stories! Also research history and folkore of the specific areas in Cuba your family is from. A-lot of folk magic is incorporated into stories.

Bendiciones, good luck on your Journey!🦎🐊

A/N: Another long post

𝙳𝚊𝚙𝚑𝚗𝚎 𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚂𝚘𝚏𝚒𝚊 𝙳𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚞𝚛𝚐𝚘𝚜-𝙺𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚍𝚢

Nicknames: Daff

Name Meanings: Daphne → Greek, “laurel tree, bay tree” ; Alice → German, “noble” ; Sofia → Greek, “wisdom” ; Demiurgos → Greek, “public/skilled worker” ; Kennedy → Irish, “helmeted chief/leader”

Date of Birth: August 31, 1907 (at 6:19 am)

Gender: Female ; she/her 

Sexuality: Heterosexual 

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw 

Faceclaims: Emma Tremblay & Emilia Clarke 

Parents: Minerva Kennedy and Adonis Demiurgos (@endlessly-cursed) 

Brothers: Atticus Ferdia Gregorius and Matthias Dermot Apollonas Demiurgos-Kennedy

Godparents: Walter Kennedy and Lottie Gallagher (@slytherindisaster) 

Patronus: Dapple gray mare

Favorite Subjects: Herbology, charms, care of magical creatures 

Least Favorite Subjects: Transfiguration, potions

Extracurriculars: None 

Hobbies: Reading, writing, gardening 

Personality: Intelligent, quick-witted, charismatic, brave, argumentative, outgoing, kind, stubborn

About Daphne: As the only daughter, Daphne found herself occasionally taking on the role of a second mother. She had to remind her twin brother, Atticus, to take care of himself when they were in school. She had a close relationship with Atticus though, despite the combative nature it took on when they were teens. She was eleven when Matthias was born and while the dynamics were different, Daphne found herself taking on a protective role towards him.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Daphne was quickly sorted into Ravenclaw. She found her home quite quickly in the house, despite suffering from moments of homesickness. That was when she was most grateful for her twin. While at Hogwarts, Daphne found her interest in nature and that she enjoys spending time doing nothing. Her interest in nature mostly culminated around herbology and botany. This led Daphne to becoming a herbologist after she graduated. While she never went on to become a household name, Daphne did write a few books about her research in herbology. Her writing did moderately well and her books were used by those in the field. 

Trivia:

Of the numerous Kennedy grandchildren, Daphne takes the shortest amount of time to be sorted. The hat barely touches her head before it sorts her into Ravenclaw. 

Daphne enjoys spending time with nothing to worry about. She’ll go dancing for the fun of it. She’s kissed a few men for the fun of it. She doesn’t go overboard with it, but enjoys doing things for fun.

Daphne is a polyglot. She’s fluent in English, Greek, and French. She also knows a lot of Latin, but isn’t as confident in it.

Faceclaims: Lewis McAskie & Joshua Orpin

Parents: Minerva Kennedy and Adonis Demiurgos (@endlessly-cursed) 

Siblings: Atticus Ferdia Gregorius and Daphne Alice Sofia Demiurgos-Kennedy 

Godmother: Eliza Kennedy

Patronus: Gray squirrel 

Favorite Subjects: Charms, defense against the dark arts, transfiguration

Least Favorite Subjects: History of Magic, herbology, care of magical creatures 

Extracurriculars: Prefect, beater on the Gryffindor quidditch team 

Hobbies: Quidditch, reading, swimming, hurling, writing, running 

Personality: Intelligent, athletic, brave, charismatic, reserved, knowledgeable, original, stubborn, energetic, adaptable, adventurous, private 

About Matthias: As the youngest son and by quite a lot, Matthias has a quiet upbringing. His siblings are at Hogwarts during most of his younger years and it takes him quite a while to gain a solid relationship with them through no one's fault but age. Luckily, Matthias has some cousins around his age, including his cousin, Cecilia, who’s two years ahead of him at Hogwarts. In addition, Matthias tends to take after his father more so than his mother, but he’s got a strong bond with both of his parents. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Matthias was quickly sorted into Gryffindor just like his father was. He found himself quite comfortable in the house of the lion quite quickly. It was nice to have cousins around and Matthias enjoyed the friends he made in the house. In his second year, he tried out for the Gryffindor quidditch team on a whim and won the position of beater. He fell in love with quidditch on the pitch at Hogwarts, but it was never a burning passion. In addition, Matthias was made a prefect in his fifth year, something he was incredibly shocked by but was incredibly proud of. Sure, he might not be a prefect and headboy like Atticus was, but Matthias felt like he had finally shed the lingering cap of his siblings.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Matthias tried on many different careers. None seemed to fit him until he decided to write about quidditch. Now, he wasn’t a journalist and didn’t write about quidditch matches that were currently being played. Instead, he wrote about the history of quidditch, its rules, and the game in and of itself. He became moderately successful for a trilogy of novels surrounding a fictional quidditch team’s exploits.

Trivia:

Matthias was a surprise baby, born eleven years after his older siblings, Atticus and Daphne.

His middle name of Dermot is a Kennedy family name, although Matthias’s full name doesn’t follow the Kennedy family conventions.

Matthias is bilingual, fluent in English and Greek. He knows the rudimentary aspects of Latin, though.

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor 

Faceclaims: Dixie Egerickx & Lily James

Son: Albert Edmund Battersea

Patronus: Swallow

Favorite Subjects: Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures

Least Favorite Subjects: History of Magic 

Extracurriculars: Prefect, care of magical creatures club

Hobbies: Gardening, swimming, reading, hiking, exploring

Personality: Curious, intelligent, kind, hardworking, dreamer, friendly, honest, secret romantic 

About Cecilia: As the middle child, Cecilia has always loved the adventure that comes with the outdoors. She could spend hours exploring the grounds of Whitethorn Hall and looking for animals and plants. Her love of the outdoors was unexpected, as in many other respects she reminded people of her father, just without the seriousness that accompanied Edmund Kennedy. Cecilia also has a close relationship with her sister, Aurelia. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Cecilia was sorted into Gryffindor, after becoming a hatstall. She found herself at home quite quickly in Gryffindor, becoming comfortable with the students and everything around her. It was also nice when her cousin, Matthias, joined her two years later. In her fifth year, Cecilia was named prefect. She never became headgirl, but that didn’t bother Cecilia too much. After all, she was busy fulfilling her interests in herbology and magiozoology. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Cecilia followed her dream and became both a herbologist and a magiozoologist. She never became a major name or anything, but Cecilia did become a major part of advocating for some of the legislation passed in the 1930s and 40s. In addition, she fell in love with Ravenclaw alumn, Oliver Battersea. Eventually, Cecilia and Oliver married and had one child, a son named Albert. 

Trivia:

Cecilia was a hatstall between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Her ambitions drive her quite a lot, which includes her ambition to become both a herbologist and a magiozoologist. A lot of people are shocked that she’s not a Slytherin.

Cecilia is a hopeless romantic, but she keeps that side of herself quiet and very few people are allowed to see that side of herself. 

Cecilia is Luke Battersea’s paternal grandmother.

Faceclaim: Jacob Tremblay

Sisters: Aurelia Mary and Cecilia Alice Kennedy 

Godparents: Walter Kennedy and Anne “Nan” Kennedy 

Patronus: Lion

Favorite Subjects: Transfiguration, arithmancy 

Least Favorite Subjects: Potions, herbology

Extracurriculars: Keeper on the Slytherin quidditch team, prefect 

Hobbies: Quidditch, reading, writing

Personality: Intelligent, stubborn, strong-willed, uptight, honorable, reliable, patient, organized, passionate, athletic, stubborn, open-minded 

About Alfie: As the youngest child and only son, Alfie is, without a doubt, his father’s son. He has a good relationship with both of his sisters even though he’s not that close to them, but being the youngest means that Alfie is not nearly as uptight as his father. In fact, his grandmother says that Alfie reminds her of what Edmund was like before Ferdia Kennedy’s death. Alfie has a comment for everything, just like his father had as a young child. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Alfie was sorted into Slytherin after spending ten minutes under the sorting hat as it debated if Slytherin or Ravenclaw was a better fit for him. He found himself quite homesick for his first few weeks at Hogwarts, which was lessened slightly by the fact that his older sisters were both with him. In his third year, Alfie joined the Slytherin quidditch team. He originally tried out for the position of beater, but instead, he earned the position of keeper. He enjoyed the sport quite a lot, but never felt the desire for quidditch to be anything other than a hobby. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Alfie followed the family footsteps into the ministry of magic. Like his father, Alfie began his career in the treasury department. However, Alfie eventually decided to run for the legislative body and he won on his first run. He served 10 years in the legislative body before returning to the treasury department. 

Trivia:

Alfie’s middle names follow the tradition of Kennedy family naming. Dermot is the first middle name, whose purpose has been forgotten over the years, and the second middle name is the boy’s father’s first name. Thus, Alfie is Alfred Dermot Edmund. 

In his third year, Alfie went through a phase where he tried out other possible nicknames because he felt that “Alfie” was too childish. None stuck and honestly, Alfie didn’t like being called any of them.

While in his eighties, Alfie is the guardian to his grandnephew (Cecilia’s grandson), Luke Battersea, for a year.

About Louis: As the third son, Louis is very much a combination of his parents, although, perhaps, he takes after his father a bit more so than his mother. He has a closer relationship with his younger brother, Oliver, than he does with either of his older brothers despite the fact that he is closer in age to Niall than he is to Oliver. Perhaps, it’s because he and Oliver are closer to their father. Louis looks up to his older brothers, even though they don’t get along terribly well as children. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Louis was sorted into Gryffindor after five minutes of the sorting hat debating if he would be better in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Louis felt out of place in Gryffindor for his first few weeks at Hogwarts, but he eventually found his footing and he became quite comfortable with the house and his housemates. In addition, he was made a prefect in his fifth year and that same year, he made the Gryffindor quidditch team, earning the position of keeper. 

After he graduated from Hogwarts, Louis began experimenting many different careers as he wasn’t quite sure what he wanted to do with his life. He had fulfilled multiple requirements for different careers and felt like spending some time figuring out which one would be the best fit. He tried auror training, before dropping out. Eventually, he found himself taking on the role of broom maker, something that combined many of Louis’s strengths. He never loved his career, but he appreciated it and found himself feeling quite comfortable with it. 

Trivia:

Louis’s middle name, Edgar, is after his late uncle. Marcus Edgar Charles Battersea. His middle name, Hamid, is in honor of his mother’s culture.

Louis is a supporter of the Chudley Cannons.

About Oliver: As the youngest son, Oliver takes after his father much more than his mother, although he does have a lot more daring and impulsiveness than his father ever did. He also has a closer relationship with his father, as they just get on a little better. He is also the closest to his older brother, Louis, but looks up to his oldest brother, Sidney, the most. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Oliver was sorted into Ravenclaw quite quickly. He found himself to be quite at home in Ravenclaw, despite feeling annoyed at the comparisons to his brothers. In his third year, he started taking Care of Magical Creatures and fell in love with the subject. The next year, his fourth year, he made the Ravenclaw quidditch team and earned the position of seeker. He enjoyed the sport, but mostly as a hobby and less so as a career path.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Oliver followed his gut and began working as a dragonlogist. While on a trip, he met magiozoologist and and herbologist, Cecilia Kennedy. He fell in love with Cecilia and they married, eventually having one son together, Albert Dermot Battersea in 1947.

Personality: Curious, intelligent, hardworking, loyal, quick temper, kind, friendly, open-minded, absentminded, outgoing, charismatic, practical, stubborn, reserved, oblivious, forgets about his own needs and stuff a lot

About Gio: As the eldest son, Gio is very much his mother’s son. He’s generally on the more serious side, unless he’s doing something that he’s passionate about… which is usually experimenting with potions or trying to create his own spells. In addition, Gio inherited his father’s temper, which isn’t exactly the greatest combination when it comes to his experiments. He also has a good relationship with both of his siblings and his parents. He’s probably the closest to Enzo, which makes them a slightly interesting duo.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Gio was sorted into Hufflepuff after spending ten minutes under the sorting hat as it debated between whether or not Gio would fit better in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. Despite feeling a bit like the hat made a mistake, Gio found himself at home in Hufflepuff. It just took a while. He became a prefect in his fifth year, which made him feel like he had found his footing even more. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Gio went on to become an alchemist. It fed his love for experimentation and while he would never reach the level of Nicolas Flamel, he became moderately successful and well-known in the world of alchemy. 

Trivia:

Gio is the only one of the Rovere-Parsons kids to not inherit any seer genes.

About Reva: As the only daughter and youngest child, Reva is very much a good combination in personality of her parents’ personalities. She doesn’t really take after one more than the other and has a close relationship with her parents. She’s also closest to her brother, Enzo, although she’s really grateful that she can turn to Gio when she feels homesick at Hogwarts.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Reva was sorted into Hufflepuff and unlike her brother, Gio, Reva was sorted quickly. She found herself at home in Hufflepuff quite quickly, forming good friendships and feeling at home in the house. She was named prefect in her fifth year and became headgirl in her seventh year. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Reva went on to become a healer. 

Trivia:

Reva inherited the seer gene from her father, which mostly manifests in her dreams.

Notes: Fantastic video of Colin's Orpheus Debut! there is a small head obstruction in the far left bottom that obstructs nothing but Hermes legs at times. This was a very unique and stressful show for the cast as they were down a worker and had everyone in the company on in the show. the show started almost 25 minutes late as they had to rehearse and change choreo. The lights hit in wait for me and the choreo change is quite fun to see and it's unique!

WWTG, The Winter Solstice: The Welcome Ball III

Everything was going as well as it could be. The Welcome Ball was afoot and Primrose observed from a chair that her beloved people had made for her as a gift for producing an heir. Malcolm was beside her, observing quietly the guests and commenting on the now absent faces they didn't see.

"Henry wrote back to me. No word of what he and the Goldcrests are up to in Scotland, though," It was true. This morning, they had received a letter from Henry and Elian each. It was odd that they didn't attend this year's festivities, and many whispered of it.

"Elian was quiet as well," Malcolm added "hopefully they aren't roping one another into danger."

Primrose chuckled "Hopefully being the factor word here. Of both of us, you ought to know Elian best." She teased.

Malcolm let out a small laugh "You're right, dear. Danger chases our dear friend, I'm afraid."

Primrose observed Simon Battersea, standing in a corner, surely pining for his faraway sultana "Poor boy. I wish I could do something to make his stay less lonely." She looked at Malcolm "I shall dance with him the next number."

Malcolm nodded "Be my guest, dear. I shall see myself that Mr. Rowle doesnt rue the night."

He kissed her hand and she extended her hand to the young earl "Dance with me, Earl Simon?" She gave him a smile that she knew well nobody ought to deny.

"Can you? In your condition?" He asked concerned.

"A little movement will do good to me and my child."

He bowed "I shall oblige, then."

Cecilia wasn't Harlan Rowle's biggest fan, and despite him having a nice face to look at and a certain charm -though she'd rather perish the thought than admit it out loud- but he made her beloved Vinnie laugh, and that was enough for her to tolerate him, no matter how much she liked the idea of punching him in the throat, though the cad would find a way to make the situation humorous.

As the quadrille begun, she and Vinnie looked at one another "Sneak to our spot for our people-watching game?"

"Always!"

Brushing their hands, they left for a small terrace that Viscountess Primrose kept close to her heart, but Cecilia had worked a way to give her access as well. Suffices to say, the oh-so-perfect viscountess once had some scandalous rendezvouses with a beautiful and witty painter.

"Tell me, dearest, who shall be your victim for the night?" Cecilia inquired.

Lavinia observed the people around until her eyes on poor, flushed Orpheus Kenway, who looked positively lost "Oh, good Godric, by the time I have been here, I have only made a mess with five syllables or less, and overshadowed by my unsufferable villain of a brother! Whatever shall I do without cousin Charis?! Oh, Godric, grant me mercy, because polite society won't!" She cried as Cecilia snickered.

Cecilia observed the poor Adonis Demiurgos, his usual twinkle gone and observing wistfully the dancing pairs "Oh, woe is me, wherever is my witty little nightingale, who pecks me deliciously so with her razor pen? Oh, Minerva, my Minnie, where art thou?!"

Lavinia doubled in laughter, Cecilia covering her mouth while she tried to regain her breath "God, Cecy, you are vicious!"

"But true," she winked.

Not having realised till now that they were leaning on one another, Cecilia kissed her nose and Lavinia scrunched her nose. Seeing if anyone was searching for them, they kissed softly for a minute before breaking apart "I don't wish to go back, but..."

"Primrose can only buy us so much time."

Both women finally emerged from their hidden corner and rejoined the festivities, which were thankfully winding down.

Adonis downed yet another brandy as he slowly started to believe that no Kennedy would attend this year's festivities. Ed had given his word to check on his calendar, and the next thing he knew, he was already at Winbourne, wondering where Minerva could've run off to.

A concerned Primrose approached him. He stood up and quickly curtsied in respect for the lady "My lady."

"I see that Miss Kennedy won't be in attendance. It's a shame. I always enjoyed her literary insight. And don't say which one, or take me for a fool for that matter, Mr. Demiurgos, because I know better."

He raised his hands in defeat "Worry not, my lady, I know that you can't be fooled even if I tried."

"Tell you what, I have a drawing room that is perfect for some... illicit writing."

He cocked an eyebrow, intrigued "Do tell me..."

Tagging @gaygryffindorgal @unfortunate-arrow and @legilimenace because their characters made an appearance on this POV!
