Rise Against: The Great Die-Off
Throwback Song of the Day: January 15, 2020
“ We want it all and we want it now
Tonight I watched your fires burn out
The cold dead hands we pried these guns from are yours
We want it all and we want it now
A tide is coming to drown you out
We make ourselves at home while your body’s still warm “

Obi-Wan: gets a text Oh! It’s Quinlan.
Kit, excitedly: Did he get me the stuff?
Obi-Wan: Yeah, he said he got you the clown costume, the power drill, and 12 gallons of blood.
Kit: Wow! Where’d he find 12 gallons of fake blood?
Obi-Wan: You wanted fake blood?
Kit: ...
Obi-Wan: I’ll go call Quinlan.

Here's a Thought About Harry Potter...
Okay, so you have bigoted Wizarding children who look down on muggles and muggleborns and put big emphasis on wizarding lineage and whatnot. Big example in canon was Draco and his open use of the derogatory word "Mudblood".
So let's ignore the blatant favoritism where he and others are free to bully and be overtly cruel with no punishment or consequence.
Let's also pretend the teachers actually do their jobs and issue appropriate punishment.
What would happen if one of said teachers decides that the best way to curb Draco's blatant discrimination would be to have him learn about muggles?
So Draco ends up transferred to Muggle Studies.
Draco: This is a waste of time! Name one thing muggles have accomplished that Wizards haven't. Go ahead. I'll wait—
Teacher: They've been to the moon.
Draco: Wait—what?
Teacher: Six times.
Draco: WHAT?!
Where he is forced to...(shudder) learn about how muggles live!
Oh nooooooooo.
So he learns about muggle inventions.
Muggle Student1: So there's this square device called a "cell phone" that's compact enough that we can carry around in our pockets. We can also use it to send messages within seconds, chat with people across the world, play games, and look at pictures of cats.
Draco: Don't think you can fool me! Like I would fall for something so insane!
Muggle Student2: (Sarcastically) Oh no, he caught us.
Muggle contraptions.
Draco: What do you mean they don't use quills? How do they write?
Teacher: With pens.
Draco: Where do they get the ink from?
Teacher: It's IN the pen.
Draco: (Stares) …how?
Muggle hobbies.
Malfoy: What is "internet"?
Muggleborn Student1: ….oh you sweet summer child.
Muggleborn Student2: Don't tell him. I don't think his brain could handle it.
He also ends up falling into the muggleborn black market.
Which comes with the revelation that there IS, in fact, a muggleborn black market at Hogwarts. Because I'm hard pressed to believe that kids in the modern era would just abandon their modern comforts completely.
Muggleborn Student1: Hey, just because electronics don't work at Hogwarts doesn't mean we have to leave everything behind.
Muggleborn Black Market Dealer: I have a new stock of Cadbury chocolates, KitKat bars, and Fruit Pastilles.
Muggleborn Student1: YES!
Draco: (Scoff) There's nothing here I would want.
Muggleborn Black Market Dealer: I have one set of "Slytherin" gel pens in black, silver, and bright green. One set of glitter gel pens. And a spiral notebook with a holographic cover.
Draco: (Slams money on the counter) GIMME!
And Draco ends up learning a lot.
After all, a Slytherin is supposed to be cunning and ambitious.
It would be remiss of him to not take advantage of such opportunity as it presents itself.

“My name is on the lease for the castle.”
“I think it’s more a loyalty thing for Cole. I think it’s his loyalty to Alicent. He wants what she wants. I myself… no comment.”
“Aemond he was bullied and wronged as a kid. They carved his eye out. He bounced back. He put a sapphire gemstone in his eye. And yeah, they’re gonna get what’s coming to them.”
“We have bigger dragons.”
No because it’s the way none of them could actually offer up a reason as to why TG should sit the throne.
