In-universe, how is it that no one knows of Credence/Aurelius? Surely he would have come up at some point in Magical History? Obscurials are rare, yet alone one that survived to adulthood. The incident in New York alone should have put him in Wizarding history forever, let alone his role in the war with Grindelwald and the events of Bhutan. Not to mention he turns out to be Dumbledore’s nephew - Dumbledore becomes famous after defeating Grindelwald, Credence should have been mentioned at some point at least in passing.

Consider, though, that he is well-known, and people have heard of him.

Only they’ve only heard the name of Credence Barebone, and nobody’s heard of Aurelius Dumbledore.

Or vice versa - people have heard of Aurelius Dumbledore; his identity as Credence Barebone is unknown.

Or maybe people have heard of Aurelius Dumbledore (an illegitimate son of Aberforth Dumbledore who died young. Aberforth doesn’t like to talk about him. Aberforth doesn’t like to talk about most things, really.) and also Credence Barebone (the American Obscurial who joined Grindelwald but defected) but they haven’t connected the two. They don’t know that they’re one and the same.

Or maybe Credence did come up in Magical History but Binns’ class is mind-numbingly boring so nobody remembered him.

La molher de la nèu

In the 16th century, a Hufflepuff muggle born woman, Adbugissa Camula Tudor, a descendant of royalty changed the Wizarding World.

She was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Queen Catherine Howard, born in the Royal Palace in 28 May 1541, but she was raised by Callum duke of Argyll and his mother Ella Alba Bonnie of Scotland, daughter of Blanche Marie Sforza and Maximilian I, and who married Rory Alistair of Argyll, an illegitimate son of James III and Elantia Navia- a Gaulish woman from Burgundy, who had been Edward IV's mistress before meeting James-.

Adbugissa resembled her maternal grandmother Joyce Culpeper and had her mother's honey brown hair, and her names were Occitan as her mother was avid of the Occitan french culture.

In her youth Adbugissa learned the Occitan language and fell in love with it, however Adbugissa was born blind.

Her being a female and not the spare male heir her father wanted, as well as being born blind and the fact that they could not hide it was a key factor in her parents' marriage drift and her mother's subsequential affair with Thomas Culpepper which resulted in her beheading.

Her father hid every evidence of her birth and sent her to Scotland to be raised by his old friend Ella of Scotland and her son Callum who later in life dedicated to the Protestant cause in Scotland.

From an early age, Adbugissa displayed a powerful force of magic and by the age of 11 she went to Hogwarts where she was sorted in Hufflepuff.

She was the best student in her class and thanks to her Hufflepuff won the House Cup in a row of 7 years and even though she was blind, she was able to outsmart everyone by her resourcefulness, she created the Wizarding version of the Braille and received her classes in that way.

Later in life when Adbugissa was 31 years old, she married Philip William, Prince of Orange in 17 July 1574 in secret.

She used to dye her hair in orange color and gave Philip a necklace with both their initials.

She had built a castle in Orange for the commoners, as well as another castle in which she founded a school.

"La Molher de La Nèu"

She was the headmaster of the school and to keep the secrecy she taught her students Occitan language and all the classes as well as the spells were in Occitan, so that no one could find them nor relate them to wizardry, as many wizards were being killed back then in charges of heresy.

Adbugissa also had the Hufflepuff badge built in front of the school and placed a great number of spells to hide it from muggles and was a great advocate for Muggle Borns rights.

After she died in 24 October 1578 her daughter Zoe Catarina of Orange took the charge as headmaster.

PD: I took the liberty to write about a possible daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine Howard, and depict her story, there are many theories whether they had a child, as you can see in this article.

I also made up the fictional characters of history as Blanche Marie and Maximilian never had any children James III never had  a(n unknown) mistress.

Hi there. So I know both no-majs and even wizards (scourers) persecuted wizards in the past, but what about the last 40 years? I'm thinking about our society from 80s till now. Do you think wizards are still in a state of hiding from no-maj hunters or is it more relaxed now? Also if hypothetically scourers were still persistent in recent history, then wouldn't it mean wizards would be more wary of other wizards than they would be of no-majs? Thanks.

There is always evil in the world, and any person, magical or not, would be wise to be wary of that. It would be foolish, though, and frankly a disservice to oneself, to assume that the evil outweighs the good.

No Scourers have truly existed since before the No-Maj Revolutionary War, but some of their ideals have been passed down into their descendants. For a time, it may seem as though the Wizarding World is safe, but then another threat arises.

Some of Voldemort's supporters in America used No-Maj hostility — including those swayed by Scourer influence — as evidence that non-magical people are inferior and dangerous. Much of that thought still lingers in certain circles.

There are occasional incidents, but everything seems to be under control... for now.

nd here is the final painting for my Avatar: The Last Airbender series! Avatar Aang himself, master of the Four Elements and savior of the world.

The cartoon was significant for me when I was growing up. Now that the live action is releasing tommorow, after 20 years since the original I felt that its the time to create my tribute.

This was the first one of the three (Katara, Sokka) that I made, and the piece I spent the least amount of time on. I also had plans for more characters but time constraints wont allow me to work on them just yet! Perhaps in the future.

I hope you like it!

All the best,

JCH

In honor of Women's History month, I just want to remind people that some of the most influential and popular manga in the anime community are written/illustrated by women. And I'm not just talking about groundbreaking shojo like Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, Card Captor Sakura, or Black Butler (or things like Chihayafuru, Migi to Dali, Sakamoto Desu ga?, Nana, Natsume Yuujincho, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Violet Evergarden, A Silent Voice, and a million more). To be clear, those series are also amazing, and I'm not demeaning them in any way. They deserve just as much respect as everything else.

But right now I'm talking about shōnen series or series that are usually marketed towards men specifically or have appeared in shōnen magazines. I mean things like:

Beastars, made by Paru Itagaki

Gangsta, by Kohske

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic by Shinobu Ohtaka (which I promise isn't what my screen name is a reference to, even though I love this show).

D.Gray Man by Katsura Hoshino

Dorohedoro by Q Hayashida

To Your Eternity by Yoshitoki Ōima

Mushishi, made by Yuki Urushibara (aka Soyogo Shima).

Noragami which is written by two women, collectively named Adachitoka, similarly to romance author duo Christina Lauren.

Blue Exorcist by Kazue Kato

Inuyasha (and Ranma 1/2 and Urasai Yatsura) by Rumiko Takahashi, which I know for a fact served as a gateway anime for a shit ton of people across generations (but especially for people my age).

I have to shout out Posuka Demizu, who illustrated The Promised Neverland, which is my favorite manga series. She may have given the characters weird looking facial proportions, but damn if she ain't one of the most detail oriented (and sneakiest) artists out there.

And finally, a little story you may know called Fullmetal Alchemist, written by Hiromu Arakawa (who also wrote Silver Spoon, The Heroic Legend of Arslan and lots of other stuff but I wanted to highlight those two specifically).

There's also been speculation that a small hidden gem called...what was it again?...Oh yeah, DEMON SLAYER is written by a woman. But Koyoharu Gotouge's gender hasn't been confirmed so it's still just a theory.

idk, I just love women.

OFFICE BLS RANKED BY THEIR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE VENEER OF APPROPRIATE WORKPLACE BEHAVIOUR

Because I saw @sorry-bonebag's tag and had to.

Here we go! Disclaimer: I'm not going to list every Office BL™ these are just the ones I've seen. Sorry if your fav is missing! Let's start with our lowest scorer that definitely sets the tone for the bottom of the barrel.

CHECK OUT - The veneer is tracing paper if not completely transparent. Fucking in the office. Yeah. That's an HR violation for sure. Thankfully your company is too small to have an HR department. But you're definitely getting fired by your boss who is also your boyfriend who you are also cheating on.

BED FRIEND - The veneer is only considered opaque because everyone else in the office is blind as hell. HR is pretty sure you two fucked in the office bathroom, but they have no proof so could only give you a warning.

LOVE MATE - Veneer is 1-ply. I mean, if the whole office ships it, is it truely an issue? HR thanks you for keeping things PG.

WE BEST LOVE: FIGHTING MR. 2ND - The veneer is definitely paper thin, but it's 2-ply. At least you avoided fucking in the office. Just a good smack in the face and some mutual sexual harassment. HR win...I guess.

HISTORY4: CLOSE TO YOU - Veneer is getting a little thicker, but depends on the light. Rooftop and in-office grandiose love confessions aside, HR thanks you for keeping your higher heat make out sessions off business hours. Still, gossiping about your romantic interests with your coworkers is grounds for a warning.

OUR DATING SIM - Veneer is about as thick as the space between your legs through which HR can see that you're literally holding hands in the office right now, stop it.

STEP BY STEP - The veneer is solid. Mainly office stuff happens in the office. HR approves of this boring as hell vibe. Still, you get marked down slightly because you did almost get down in the company parking garage.

CHERRY MAGIC - The veneer is a wholesome thickness, but no kissing in the company elevator. HR slap on the wrist for sure. We don't care how quickly the doors closed. There is CCTV in that elevator, sirs.

JUN & JUN - The veneer is currently in the process of being painted on so we'll have to wait and see, but it's looking pretty thin so far. HR has their pens ready to write up the report.

OLD FASHION CUPCAKE - The veneer is solid, but HR saw you hugging in the coffee station. Thank you for waiting until you were off work hours to make out, I guess. Enjoy your fancy desserts.

ROOMATES OF POONGDUCK 304 - The veneer is there. HR heard some weird noises over the zoom call, but we're just going to ignore those for now.

In celebration of the upcoming Avatar series I made three illustrations depicting key characters. Here is Sokka, the boomerang wielding warrior from the Southern Water Tribe.

Please let me know what you think and if you are going to watch the show!
