Ok, so I’m going to stay on here until this site dies- but what is the main place that we’ll go to when tumblr dies, my friends? 

I want to be able to reform our communities elsewhere- and don’t want what happened after livejournal to happen (where I’m left with no place to do fandom stuff with other people for like 5 years! D:)

So which is it?

Everyone just come over to my house. I have extra rooms, two dogs, and loads of brownies

I’ll bring the wine (properly aged, at that!) and maybe some decadent meats fire-charred for y’all.

I would join you but eleven-hour transatlantic flights are rather expensive. 

@headcanonsandmore You could always come to France with me, @iloveboeufbourguignon and @austenpoppy!

Pros:

Not as costly as going to the USA

French cuisine!

Europe I guess??

Historical stuff!!

FreNch CuiSinE!

Nice weather (?)

Cafés everywhere

FRENCH CUISINE!!!

Cons:

Our president

Our reactions to said president

Gotta learn French because some of us

Can’t guarantee your safety from “perfide Albion” jokes

Might be responsible for some of the aforementioned “perfide Albion” jokes

I appreciate the offer, @vivithefolle. Very tempting. 

Couple of things though; 

-I have hypersensitivity to food textures, resulting in me being unable to eat a large proportion of French cuisine (now, Italian, on the other hand… that I can eat all day). 

-I’m not English (being Cornish born and raised), so any jokes about the English are going to sail straight over my head. 

-I cannot speak French to save my life. Seriously, it’s pretty much the only European language I can never get into my brain (I know more Japanese just from watching Anime than I do with French)

-Your political climate freaks me out (and that’s coming from someone who hears the world ‘Brexit’ five billion times on the news every day) 

-I like cold climates. Seriously, anything more than 25 degrees C and I stop functioning. Mods don’t lie sweating through their nice button-down shirt….

Having said that, I do like French New Wave Cinema, your language is beautiful even if I can’t understand it, I love cafes, and your architecture is lovely. So who knows?  

Aww damn, don’t worry chap, I too have hypersensitivity to several textures and tastes. (Only with me, it’s all things considered jelly or rind. *shudders*)

If you really can’t speak French at all I can be your walking translator!! 😀

Oh boy I know. Politics are utterly beyond my feeble mental grasp but honestly I’m freaked out too. Hell, anyone would be freaked out about cars being put on fire.

We have a cold climate, that’s the thing! Wouldn’t change too much from where you live I think. Especially in Brittany.

We’re going to have to compromise. Maybe create a whole new country. Can someone fish out some abandoned island we could start on?

Fair points. 🙂 

I vote that we call the new country ‘Ron Weasley is a lovely bloke’. It’s not catchy, but it is true.

If you were to read Ron on prefect rounds with someone, would you prefer to read about him on rounds with Hannah Abbott, or Padma Patil? 

I’m torn between the two and can’t decide which I want to explore. 

Hmmm. That’s a tough one. I suppose (like everyone in the comments is saying) Hannah is less explored as a character so there’s that. On the other hand, a prefect round with Padma would be understandably awkward considering what happened at the yule ball, and might bring up questions relating to Hermione. 

How about prefect rounds with both? Maybe Padma at first to show the past, and then Hannah (with her Hufflepuff cheerfulness) to inspire hope for the future? That’s just my thoughts on it, though. 

17, 18, 34, 38 and 50 hahah

17: What does amortentia smell like to you?

cedarwood, campfire, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, rain, crisp mountain air, books/notebook (so basically a camping trip in the mountains with fresh drawing/reading supplies and cookies? lol)

18: Favorite Hogwarts class?

Ok, without the teachers being a factor- I would love divination, care of magical creatures, and charms. Some of those classes have great teachers, but others not so much 😛

I really enjoy astrology a lot, and get a kick out of other divination stuff- so I think I would love the subject. Animals make me SO happy- so I can’t imagine not enjoying that class, even with crazy boring critters. I have slugs outside my house I named. 😛 (Zero, Mostel, and their baby Mostella.) And Charms! I would accio shit ALL the time, and color change things, and float stuff and stick things etc all the time. Like, man, charms would be SO handy as an artist.

34: Wizarding World job?

I think I’d still be an artist, honestly. I love it too much to imagine having a different job. How cool would it be to make art that has a life of its own? (Eff, I can do that if I’d just take the time to make my illustrations animated. I need to do more of that!)

38: Crookshanks or Pigwidgeon?

Crookshanks. I love Pig, but I think if I were around him a lot, I’d get tired of the hyperactivity. I like much more chill pets. Plus, Crooks is so smart! Hermione never used her cat in any way beyond ‘pet’ and that makes me mad, because Crooks was so effing smart that he could retrieve lists for Sirius and all sorts of things. How cute would that have been for her to use Crooks to deliver notes or retrieve things!!!

50: Who would your BFF be?

 

Well, if I was just IN the world of HP, it depends a lot on what my age would be etc. But I think the characters I like the most are the ones I’d be closest with- Ron, Remus and Tonks. They all have traits I find important in a friend- especially passion, dedication, humor, grounded intelligence, kindness, empathy, unusual etc. I see a lot of my best friends in them, so feel I would get on great with them. 🙂 

What I love about this is that you chose the pet that is the cat version of Ron.

Ok, I can’t take much more anti-JKR stuff on here. And I know I’m a hypocrit because I’ve reblogged a couple over the last year that I thought were funny- and wrote my own long post about my issues with her Ilvermorny reveal. 

but How do I keep it from showing up on my dash? I don’t want to unfollow people- but it’s like every other post and is bumming me out. 

The HP fandom is is my happy place. 

I’m going through hard really emotionally draining stuff right now, and barely have the time/energy to do art. 

I just want happy fandom stuff for my escape, and/or interesting debate over the books and not have to hear about all that other crap and all the outrage. 

Sorry you feel like that, @hillnerd. I can only apologise and try and post more positive stuff in future. If you still feel uncomfortable, I believe you can ‘black-list’ certain tags by going into your settings. 

Hope you feel better soon!
