It baffles and infuriates me that Hogwarts students don’t take Latin or Greek. Accio? Literally “I summon.” Lumos? Fucking “light.” Expelliarmus? Expel weapon!! Ooooh I wonder what Levicorpus does– you Dumb Ass Bastard. You ILLITERATE. It’s called Levicorpus, it lifts someone’s body, it LEVIES your goddamn CORPUS-
Today I arranged the first piece of Tonari no Totoro on my hammered dulcimer. I got the melody from a Ghibli piano book I picked up in Japan but I figured out the chords on my own.
It’s not perfect yet and it’s only the first bit but I started practicing it today so that’s okay.
