I barely have followers here, but here we go:
The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:
The deforestation has increased 80% since last year
The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)
The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy
Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety
The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.
I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.
Please don't let this go unseen. Search for yourself, talk to people about it, make noise, be angry and be scared. Let the world know about it and demand action. This is not about Brazil, is about the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most important biomes in the world, being responsible for the climate, rains, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and life itself.
tell me the story of neville longbottom, the other boy who lived.
tell me the story of a boy who was born unimpressive, who could have been a chosen one had snape listened longer at the door. who had parents that loved and cherished him for far too short a time. who lost his mother and father to the cruelty of death eaters, who had to grow up with a family that always saw him as less than who he was, who he could be, because his magic remained hidden inside him, coiled like a snake.
tell me the story of a boy who could never quite handle school, who could never muster the courage to raise his hand in class, who always messed up his potions somehow. who sat in the gryffindor common room as hermione patiently went over her history of magic notes for him and wondered for the millionth time why he didn’t end up a hufflepuff. who never saw himself as anything special, not really, because there were other kids in his year whose stars burned brighter, while he struggled just to keep up with the bottom of the class.
tell me the story of a boy who stepped up, who foresaw hogwarts descending into darkness and refused to let it happen without a fight. who became the next leader of their secret fight against the dark lord, rebelling against snape and the carrows from within the castle. who led the surge to take the sword of gryffindor from snape’s office; who took blow after blow from torturing death eaters to try and protect the first-years who didn’t deserve any of this. who ended up hiding in the castle, creating a supply line to hogsmeade and continuing to fight under threat of expulsion (and worse) because someone had to do it.
tell me the story of the unchosen one, who went from a nervous little boy to the slayer of nagini in seven years. tell me about that neville longbottom.
Happy birthday, High Warlock! I’m currently in Southeast Asia so my sense of global time is a bit skewed, but I believe it to be Magnus’ birthday and will be snippeting accordingly! Hope you enjoy this scene from Lost Book of the White in which Magnus has a lot to contend with.
****
Magnus found his robe, blinked the sleep from his eyes, and went into the kitchen, where Jace Herondale was pouring coffee into Magnus’s “I’m Kind of a Big Deal” mug.
“Don’t you have your own coffeepot?” Magnus said blearily.
Jace, blond hair in its usual, preternaturally excellent state,flashed him a winning smile that Magnus was not prepared to deal with before he too had some coffee. “I hear you got stabbed by a weird Norwegian thorn,” Jace said. “Also, do you have any soy milk?Clary’s doing a whole soy milk thing now.”
“What are you doing in my apartment?” said Magnus.
“Well,” said Jace, now rummaging in the fridge, “I’d like to think I’d be welcome anytime, what with my close relationship with all three of you. But in this case, Alec called us. Said something about Shanghai.” “Who is us?” Magnus said suspiciously.
Jace waved his coffee cup around. “Us! You know. All of us.”
“All of you?” Magnus repeated. He held up a hand. “Wait. Stop. I am going to go put on something more substantial than a kimono. You are going to use your angelic powers to pour me as large a mug of black coffee as you can find, and I will be right back, and then we can talk about terrible concepts like who ‘all of you’ are, or what Alec told you about last night.”
When he returned to the living room, now suitably dressed, he found Alec, arms folded, looking long-suffering. In the far corner of the room, next to the ceiling, Max floated, tumbling in the air. He didn’t seem to be in peril—indeed, he was yelling “Wheeeeeeeeeee” and appeared to be having an excellent time. Under him, Clary Fairchild and Isabelle Lightwood attempted to nudge him back to the ground with a broom handle. With her free hand, Clary was waving a red braid, trying to get Max interested as though he were Chairman Meow. Max was upside-down and obviously feeling good about it. Everyone else was in t-shirts and jeans, but Isabelle, of course, had shown up in a fitted black sweater over a tiered velvet maxi skirt. She was one of the few people who could occasionally make Magnus feel underdressed.

Hiiiiiii :) I love your Next Generation Aesthetic and was wondering if you could share some of your next gen headcanons with us?
Thank you so much😘 ofcourse I’ll share some of my headcanons with you :) I’ll do them oneby one and go from oldest to youngest. Oh and sorry it turned out so long
Teddy:
He was born on 13th April, the day after the full moon
When he was a baby/toddler he used to change his hair depending on whatever mood he would happen to be in
Molly and Arthur always saw Teddy as their first grandchild
Even though he lives with Andromeda, he still spends a lot of time with the Potter’s or at the burrow
Because he often changed his appearance without even noticing, he couldn’t go to a normal kindergarten/preschool
This lead to Victoire being his first real friend
“Why does Vicky call Bill ‘Dad’, but I’m not calling you ‘Dad’, Harry?”
He’s four when he asks this and it’s the first time someone tells him
He cried, he felt sad, but he still didn’t understand completely, because how could a four-year-old understand that
But he wasn’t alone
He had his grandma, Harry and Ginny
And they loved him
From this day on he always made three cards each Mother’s Day: One for his grandma, one for Ginny and one for the woman who loved him so much that she died for him
When he was six and James Sirius was born he had a little bother
He was nervous when he left to go to Hogwarts
Would he be a Gryffindor like his dad and his expanded family?
A Hufflepuff like his mother and his grandfather?
A Slytherin like his grandmother?
Or the first Ravenclaw in the family?
It didn’t take long for the sorting hat to put Teddy into Hufflepuff
And it that moment his hair turned bubble gum pink
For his 13th birthday Harry gave Teddy the Marauder’s Map
When people met Teddy as a teenager it didn’t take long for them to realize that the word ‘Hufflepunk’ existed because of this boy
Is just as clumsy as his mother (Oh wait that’s canon)
He was 15 when he realized that he had fallen in love with Victoire
He was 16 when he told her
He was 17 when Bill found out and was glad that he knew how to disapparate by the time
When he left Hogwarts (with excellent grades) he became a healer at St. Mungo’s
Victoire:
Looks like a mini version of her mum
Followed Teddy around everywhere when they were little
Hide and seek champion
Is one of the few Weasley’s that would rather die than sitting on a broom
Teddy mocks her about this sometimes
“You don’t like flying either!”
“Yes, but I didn’t scream that I would die, when I was only two feet off the ground.”
She was the first Weasley to get sorted into Ravenclaw
Perfect and Head Girl
Speaks perfect French, but likes to hoax people
“Can you say something in French?”
“Tu es un abruti.”
“What does that mean?”
“You’re really beautiful.”
Looks like an innocent little girl, but if you make her angry you better run
Wears a different flower in her hair everyday
On Halloween she however always wears lilies
After the other girls were old enough to understand the meaning behind this, they started doing this too
Fred II:
If you think that his name is everything he shares with his uncle you’re terribly wrong
Is in the same year as James Sirius and this is a combination Hogwarts was not prepared for
Proud Gryffindor
Is the only student to never be pranked by Peeves
George never tells him why, because the memory still hurts
Is one of the Gryffindor beaters since his second year
After he finished school “Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes” finally becames “Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes” again
Once created a potion that jumped out of the cauldron and disappeared through the wall
No one knows how that happened
Molly II:
Is also in Fred and Sirius year
The sorting hat was already confused after he had to sort a James Potter and Fred Weasley again, but when he heard Neville calling out “Molly Weasley”, he thought they were making fun of him
He however realized that this one was different after he sorted her into Ravenclaw after 14 minutes
Perfect and Head Girl
She is a rather quiet girl
But if she wants something she will do anything to get it and is a lot like her father in this point
Even though Molly isn’t as big of a prankster as her two cousins she still helps them often
When Percy got a letter from McGonagall telling him that Molly got a detention, he couldn’t believe what he just read
Molly was also the one who figured out how to add new things to the Marauder’s Map, like the Room of Requirement
Molly still is one of the kindest people you would ever met and has a heart out of pure gold
James Sirius:
Just like Fred II this boy lives up to the legacy of his name givers
And with his messy black hair and his brown eyes he looks a lot like his grandfather
Each year on Harry’s birthday James rendered Ginny’s poem
Is one of the Gryffindor beaters
Became team captain in his fourth year
There were some protests once, because at one point the Quidditch team was Potter and Weasley only
Is extremely good at charms
Teddy gave him the Marauder’s Map at the beginning of James’ third year
Is always super protective when it comes to his siblings and cousins
One time he and Fred had to sort out old detention slips, when he had THE idea
The two of them spend days counting how many pranks the marauders and Fred and George pulled throughout their time at Hogwarts
After they counted all of them together they had a new goal
They would beat them and pull more pranks then all of them together
In their seventh year they were worried that they wouldn’t be able to beat them
But they did
Their last prank was after their N.E.W.T.s
And it was the ultimate prank
This was also the only day McGonagall truly thought about retiring
Lucy:
Other than her sister Lucy hates her red hair
She started dying it when she was 14 and changed its colour all the time
At first because she thought it was cool, later to annoy her dad
Even through blood status wasn’t important to her, she was still kind of proud that she and Molly were the only pureblood Weasley kids
Is super curious
Often eavesdrops on other people
Loves gossip
Is one of the chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team
Super smart and loves playing chess
Likes to be alone sometimes, but still can’t be too long without her two best friends/cousins
Great at Divination
Dominique:
Was born on the first May which lead to problems between her and Victoire, because they both hated to have their birthdays so close together
Rebel heart
The only thing she has in common with her sister is her blond hair and that she will kick your ass
Amazing artist
Like really, that girl has some talent
Wears black 99.9% of the time
She, Lucy and Roxanne share a dorm in the Gryffindor tower
When it comes to friendships between the Weasley kids, theirs is the strongest
These three are the gossip queens of Hogwarts
Kind of hoped that she would be sorted into Slytherin, but knew that she belonged into Gryffindor
Refuses to speak French, when people ask her to
Gryffindor Chaser
Roxanne:
Loves that she has naturally red hair and dark skin
Is an awesome singer and loves music more than anything
She is the other chaser of the Gryffindor Quidditch team
Always wears a choker necklace
Ripped jeans
Is gay and has a crush on this cute Hufflepuff girl in her year
Sassy as hell
Shares the love of her grandfather for Muggle things (she prefers the old ones)
Lucy and Dominique are the only ones who are allowed to call her Roxy
Leader of the “Pluto is a planet” society at Hogwarts
Activist, literally will start a demonstration if she really wants something
Scorpius Hyperion:
Really quiet
Sometimes hates it to be a pureblood, because of the prejudices
Loves his father AND HIS MOTHER, WHO IS STILL ALIVE AND LIVES HAPPILY WITH DRACO!!!!!!!!!
Will never feel ashamed for his father and will defend him every time someone tries to talk bullshit about the Malfoys
Is totally gay for Albus
Reads a lot, spends more time with books than with people
Only person whose character was good in Cursed Child
Is Narcissa’s “little prince"
Had a happy childhood
Is always welcome at the burrow and at Potter’s
Does not give a f*** about whether someone is a pureblood, half blood, or muggle born thing
Slytherin Perfect
Rose:
Of all the Weasley’s Rose is the best at Quidditch
She’s a keeper
Is the only one who got into the team in her first year
Became captain after James graduated
Is super smart like her mom
But will procrastinate for as long as possible
Oh, what was that? You were insulting someone I like? Let me just PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!
Biggest Scorbus shipper of all time
Looks like Hermione, but with red hair
Is super close with her dad
Ron was the one who thought her how to be a perfect keeper
But sometimes she asks Ginny or Angelina for Quidditch advice
Albus:
The hat actually wasn’t sure whether to put Albus into Gryffindor or Slytherin
He wanted to be in Slytherin
Doesn’t play Quidditch, but loves to watch
When its Gryffindor vs. Slytherin he will cheer for his house, but won’t boo on his family
Loves his little baby sister and his idiot brother ;)
Is totally gay for Scorpius
Also rather quiet
Smart, he knows what he’s doing and always thinks before acting
Once found Snape’s portrait at Hogwarts and talked with him all night
Oh, and just a reminder that Neville is canonly Albus’ godfather
Louis:
Went to Beauxbaton till his fourth year
He came back, because he wanted to be with his family after all
Is the only other Wotter Slytherin
Is a poet
When he lived in France he used to write many long letters to his family
Needs his time alone
Knew he wanted to be an author when he was 13
Published his first book with 19
Is the only person to publish a Harry Potter biography
Well at least the only authorised person
There is this one book written by Rita Skeeter, but that’s a different story
Lorcan and Lysander:
Identical twins
Lorcan is still older
Lorcan is a Ravenclaw like his mom
Lysander is a Hufflepuff like his dad
Newt always told them stories about his creatures when they were little
The two of them love to listen to their great-grandfather
They also love grandpa Xeno’s stories about all these weird magical beings no one ever saw
Are full of love and will offer help to anyone who needs it
The two of them, Lily and Hugo were always seen together at Hogwarts
When Louis came to Hogwarts he joined them
Do the Quidditch commentary in turns (sometimes together)
Hugo:
Is really shy
Will let Lily or Rose do the talking most of the time
Has probably read more books than his mother when she was his age
Doesn’t play Quidditch, but loves to box
Great at Transfiguration
Thinks a lot about becoming an Animagus
Even though he is one of the youngest Weasley’s he still acts like some big brother forwards younger students
Is a Perfect
Lily Luna:
Has Lily’s eyes (I don’t give a f*** about canon when it comes to this)
Luna is her godmother
Is Harry’s little princess especially when she was younger
Could do anything and he just couldn’t be mad at her
Puppy eyes
This scene could happen at Potter’s
Loves her whole family, but if she had to pick a favourite it would be Teddy
He’s also the only one she will listen to
When she was young she was the cutest little girl you could imagine
Is the seeker of the Gryffindor team
After she joined the team it was all Potter and Weasley
From all three potter kids she is the one who is the closest to Harry’s personality
She really loved being like her dad until she was older
She didn’t like people comparing her to him
She didn’t like only being “The Chosen One’s daughter”
She just couldn’t stand that people were seeing her just as his daughter and nothing else
“The new Gryffindor seeker is Harry Potter’s daughter, just like her father.”
“The best student in DADA is Harry Potter’s daughter, just like her father.”
And even when she did something that had nothing to do with him she was still just his daughter
“The new member of the Gobstone club is Harry Potter’s daughter.”
She even just joined, because she wanted to be NOT like him
That was when her rebel phase began
At some point she even stopped to talk to Harry (even though she knew it wasn’t his fault) and it broke his heart
And this was worse than James or Fred or Dominique or anyone else
She learned to deal with it in her sixth year (people also started to see as an own person)
But the relationship between her and Harry was still tensed
Even after she started to talk to him again
In her last year she found an old motorbike
When she asked Harry why he had a motorbike, but never used it, he started to explain that is was Sirius
For some reason they bounded over this moment
Lily was the only person with who Harry talked about Sirius after the war
Like really talked, not just a little bit
He gave it to her after she graduated and it was the best present she ever got
The only thing that was left from her rebel phase was the fact that she still refused to use Expelliarmus even though she became an Auror
She only used it one time again, after some dark wizard tried to kill Harry and she was the only one to notice it fast enough and disarm him
hi Cassie! idk if you’ve noticed, but I think you’ve invoked a small (and quite entertaining) url revolution. — hornyjem
I did. I am very proud. :)
This is the full story of After the Bridge, a tale for those who might have wondered what Tessa and Jem did after they met on Blackfriars Bridge in the epilogue of Clockwork Princess. If you’ve been waiting to read it until it was done, it is now done.
Those who do not like Tessa&Jem together or Jessa sexytimes probably should skip this. (You will not miss anything that will affect your understanding of later books.) Those who like that sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.
After the Bridge alternates POV between Jem and Tessa. This is Part Five, the full story. As this is one short story and not chaptered, each post will contain the whole story from the beginning up to the point where that part ends so that new readers or readers who don’t remember what happened won’t have to hunt down the previous post(s.)
AFTER THE BRIDGE : Now with (sexy) art by Cassandra Jean!

Thanks to Tumblr essentially looking at my list of fics and saying “ahaha no way, get a hobby u spammer”, I have spent several hours reorganising my master list between bouts of crying and wondering why I spend so much time on something I don’t get paid for.
For those of you that can access my blog proper, you will now see three tabs at the top, where my ficlets are organised. Below are the quick links and little summaries:
Canon and Post-Canon
Usually Harry centric, but other POVs too, these ficlets are set at any time between Harry living with the Dursleys up to the birth of James. Head to this tab if you want some canon-compliant, usually Harry centric character exploration. This is where the most stuff is.
Next Gen
From the birth of James onwards, this is where to go if you want more stuff on Teddy and Vic, James causing havoc and raising his father’s blood pressure, Hugo being awkward, some Scorbus softness, Lily being sweet but deadly, etc.
Marauders
Are you too happy? Do you want to read something fluffy and sweet and then suddenly realise at the end that oh my god they’re all dead and Harry will never know about just how loved he was or how hilarious his parents were? Click on this tab for sweetness so bitter you won’t know how to feel.
As usual, this all comes with the caveat that none of these lists can open in the tumblr app, which annoys me as much as it annoys you. For some mobile devices, there is a way around it to open it in a browser, but for the rest of us it’s laptop only, I’m afraid. Also apparently Tumblr can just strip out ALL OF YOUR LINKS at any time, so, uh, save your favourites, I guess?
If you spot any missing or broken please send me a personal message with the link NOT an ask about it.
Happy reading.
