Aemond as a Slytherin is way hotter than it should be! He would be what Draco wished he was. Aemond would have the best clothes that show his wealth and eye for details and would be the person everyone knew and admired (sometimes secretly). Yes, he would have haters, but they do nothing to deter him from doing whatever he wishes and their numbers would never come close to the amount of people that practically worship him. He would be like Tom Riddle; handsome and deadly to the point his looks help him hide what he's doing in the shadows. 👑💀

ALL OF THIS! And now do we have to build a Hogwarts AU for this..Alicent is so that strict teacher people secretly crush on.

Aegon just not doing any work whilst Helaena has her creatures

Blue eyes peaked over the edge of the pale wooden desk, watching with intent curiosity, as a brown and gold snail sludged over a plant pot. It wasn’t just any plant pot, however. The young boy recognized the purple flower as a bouncing bulb. He could recall standing back, away from the doorway as his father hauled one in for his stock of pompion potions, a few years before. The bulb had swung and given Caleb a black eye when he’d stumbled too close at one point.

This bulb that the snail was approaching, was much smaller than that one had been. Still, the young Gryffindor felt nerves bubbling in his stomach as the snail unknowingly found its way to the top of the pot, and careened over the edge, likely seeking out a snack in the flower’s green leaves. The response was almost immediate. The round purple bouncer arched back dramatically, ready to heave down upon the snail’s shell and stop their pursuit in it’s tracks. Without hesitation, Rockland stuck his hand out, and felt a firm whack come down upon it. Didn’t feel great, but it probably would’ve been a lot worse off for the snail, whom the boy gently unstuck from the edge of the pot and placed back on the table top. He was sat at the end of the table where the cluster of students had started to taper off, largely grouped closer to the front of the class. 

Normally he didn’t mind being up by the front, but today he was trying to keep his head low. Not to mention he was exhausted and would rather avoid being called upon for questions. He’d missed his first class after Madam Pomfrey insisted he stay in the hospital wing for a few hours and catch up on rest, but she’d begrudgingly allowed him to attend his second, on the condition that he take it easy and come back immediately if he felt the need. While he liked herbology well enough, today the nerves in his stomach hadn’t only arisen from his interaction with the snail. They were paired with the Hufflepuffs, who were yet to arrive. He could practically hear the whispers, feel the stares, sense the tension. No. They wouldn’t know. Scamander... he couldn’t have recognized him, right?

'downward doggie' (you can decide which muse)

In the middle of the forest, alone with nothing more than his thoughts, James enjoyed the fresh change in weather for Spring. He inhaled deeply and exhaled through his mouth as the young man performed a variety of mediation poses to clear his mind. Dressed in a form fitted stretchy leggings, the bare chested brunette found himself in the downward dog position currently.

“Are you going to stare all day?” Teases James, feeling eyes on him from behind, "wolf!"

I really wanted to draw Draco in the babygirl midriff hoodie, but I’m also gifting this to @mxlfoydraco since they seemed enthusiastic to the idea <3

It was just going to be the hoodie, but then I wanted fishnets. And why not the imprint of his dick...and of course the look wouldn’t be complete without a blushing Harry.

draco going into starbucks and thinking all the mobile pickup orders are samples and he can take any he likes. "hmm i think i'll try a 'kevin' today, though they should really get more creative with these recipes, this tastes remarkably similar to the 'felicity' i tried the other day."

draco taking the plastic target baskets home with him and having a whole cupboard stacked full of them until he gets banned from target, utterly outraged to be labeled a thief.

UDLTTOM WORLDBUILDING RAMBLES: American Wizarding Society vs British Wizarding Society

This is like the 3rd installment of what is quickly becoming a series of long ranting posts about the lore surrounding Harry Potter & a current time-travel au I'm writing on AO3. But you don't need to have read the previous two posts to understand this one. (I still link them for those interested: pt 1, pt 2, pt. 3.) .

I think it's been fairly established that JK doesn't have much awareness of anything outside of Britain when it comes to world building. I've seen posts discussing how unrealistic the magical schools are and such. (Which obviously there can't be just 11 schools. I refuse to believe it. It exceeds my suspension of disbelief.) But this post isn't about that, but the whole societal structure of the American Wizarding society as a whole. I recently started watching my through the Fantastic Beasts films (I know I'm late to the show.) and as an American I can't help but to address some of this...

There's a lot to address & I'm sorry if this post gets a off on some tangents. But I'm just gonna jump right in with the things that bother me most.

1)The MACUSA reeks of British colonization.

As we all know, North America wasn't unpopulated when people from Europe started arriving. Native Americans, the Mayans, the Aztecs, Inuit people, and while some of them were nomadic others had established cities & advanced communities for that day in age. It was the religious zealot Protestants, aka Puritians, being driven out of England that pushed into these communities and brought with them this harmful religious dogma and pushed these people out of the homes and their lands. Like if you read into any of these cultures and their histories, you'll see that these communities were accepting of magic and in the HP world were probably very much wizards themselves.

And so the MACUSA doesn't make sense to me having been founded before the American Revolution, but after the Salem Witch Trials because in all likelihood wizards were being persecuted long before all that. Like I can't believe that the indigenous communities wouldn't have formed some sort of collective in order to combat these foreign invaders from overseas—Especially if they were wizards.

I mean so there had to be something before that, right? Like in all likelihood what I see happening is that these British wizards pushed themselves in with the Puritians (for whatever reason) and in the process brought with them their backwards views on muggles & blood politics & classism which wasn't a part of the original society. Because if you look at the indigenous histories you'll see that medicine men/women were respected members of their communities. Wizards and Muggles lived alongside each other just fine. But then the colonizers came & ruined that harmonious dynamic between the magical and nonmagical.

And that it's called the Magical Congress of the United States of America...It doesn't make sense unless that name came about after the American Revolution. Because before that it was referred to as the 13 colonies. Then it also took some time after the American Revolution for the 13 colonies to expand into the United States. (American didn't get all 50 states until 1959 with the purchase of Alaska from Russia and the forceful occupation of Hawaii.)

It makes more sense that there was a power struggle between two or more opposing Magical governments for the control of the Americas. And this would lead to a sort of Wizarding Civil War. Between the indigenous magical communities and the British, & Spanish, & French Colonies. It's a big place, huge. & it would be diced up and divided I think much more than than the muggle/no-maj community/government is.

The MACUSA being only on the East Coast makes more sense to me. (It also explains how there can only be one wizarding school in MA.) And how that school is a sister school of Hogwarts & how they are structured so similarly. Because watching the Fantastic Beasts films I don't feel like I'm watching American wizards, it more feels like I'm watching British Wizards with American accents.

And then the rest of the country is split up into districts or regions (much like it is in real life with: East Coast, Deep South, West Coast, Midwest.) where the indigenous practices and cultures are still prevalent.

I also don't buy into this idea that France and Spain would abandon their stake on the Continent. So in reality, it's more believable that Spanish Wizards would control Florida and expand all the way up to Arkansas, French wizards would Have control of Louisiana & Mississippi, East Texas, parts of Oklahoma, the British Wizards would have the colonies & maybe parts of the Great Lakes area like Illinois or Ohio, and then the rest of North America would be divided up into different territories amongst the indigenous communities.

Which then brings me to the second thing that bothers me: Rappaport's Law.

2) Rappaport's Law is a heavy-handed allegory for Jim Crowe & Segregation Laws.

As a white person, there's a lot in this topic that I am likely under informed and underqualified to unpack. It is a subject that would be better dissected by someone who understands the cultural histories and nuances better than me. But I read up a lot on random histories (because my Adhd brain leads me down some interesting research rabbit holes & I find myself fascinated by lore histories and folktales.) And I've learned a bit about the various histories pertaining to the Trans Atlantic Slave trade and how things like Voodoo made their way to America through the enslavement of various African tribes.

And again back to the British colonization, slaves were sold to the British by rival tribes & then some of those people made their way to North America when the colonies were formed , but that there was also a significant number of slaves that were indigenous to North America as well.

But how the indigenous communities were structured and how the tribal communities were structure were not all that dissimilar from each other. They both have an awareness of magic and similar spiritual practices. Again magic coexisting with muggles and what makes the most sense was that rival tribes would in fact sell the wizards into slavery and keep the squib/no-maj members of the village because they were less of a threat.

Which in turn would lead to most of the magical communities in North America being POC. Like honestly, I think they are the majority in the Americas. And the Rappaport Law, preventing the intermingling of no-majs & wizards would be heavily criticized because of the similarities to Jim Crowe and Segregation Laws.

And you might try to argue that because of the Statute of Secrecy, wizards wouldn't have any awareness of those muggle laws. But I argue that because of Slavery and most of the wizards being either slaves or negatively impacted by the European settlers would be very, very aware of those laws and prejudices & be actively fighting against them.

Like it was wizards creating and maintaining the underground railroad. It was wizards getting other wizards out and getting them away, regardless of whether or not they were magical because they were all slaves. And they would in fact still have muggles living side-by-side with them in these magical communities and spitting in the face of the Statute of Secrecy. And entire generations of no-majs would live and die in these communities and possibly even leave these communities to assimilate with other muggles and what not, but the American wizards would not be as cut off from the no-maj world like their British counterparts are.

3) Blood Politics would never be able to take root there.

Because most of them are unable to trace back their own bloodlines. It's why Americans don't have house elves working for them because it's Slavery, which they spent centuries combating and trying to escape. And why Grindelwald couldn't gain a foothold there because he was European and was actively killing muggleborns, squibs, no-majs like that wasn't their own people.

And this would also mean that, technologically, the magical communities in North America are more advanced. They are not stagnating like they are in Britain. Wizards are not a dying breed. They have a healthy growing population and low inbreeding rates, and advancements in magic and no-maj sciences. It's the sort of strength Grindelwald and Voldemort would want to recruit for their causes, but with how the majority of the continent is structured would never be able to.
