My new headcanon is that wizards play ‘Muggles and Mayhem’ instead of Dungeons and Dragons. A conversation with the amazing @torestoreamends ensued and this was born 💛 @lytefoot if you don’t have additions to this, I’m a woolly bladder.
So! Hear me out…
Christmas, 2001, The Burrow.
Angelina’s Muggle cousin Sean comes along for dinner - he’s visiting from out of town. He’s a bit boring, to be honest, but George is making an effort. Sean gets very excited when George mentions dragons - and he starts talking about his current DnD campaign.
After some initial confusion about Sean’s status as a druid, George, despite being five firewhiskies to the wind, realises the potential here.
He beckons Hermione and Angelina over to hear his idea. Hermione and Angelina roll their eyes but start to give him some cracking ideas of Muggle scenarios. George scribbles them down on parchment, his mind whirring.
Unfortunately, George wakes up the next day having completely forgotten about it but has a sudden rush of memory watching Ron and Bill play chess
He drags his notes over to the chess board, and the three of them start to strategise and plan…
They get a focus group together: Arthur, Hermione, Kingsley (he needs down time from the Ministry), Sean and Percy.
To absolutely nobody’s surprise, Arthur Weasley is the most enthusiastic early adopter. He particularly enjoys the dice.
[He’s going to play a middle class ACCOUNTANT His skills are TEA MAKING and COMMUTING His pastime is STAMP COLLECTING His weaknesses are GLUTEN INTOLERANCE and SEASONAL ALLERGIES Roll a D12 to obtain Benadryl]
Kingsley sees it as a potential learning tool so they get Minerva McGonagall involved who is fiercely competitive, and Harry Potter himself is dragged out from the Auror Department despite having sworn never to play anything competitive with Hermione again.
(This is due to a bad Scrabble match in Grimmauld Place, on which neither will elaborate, but Harry still jumps when Hermione is carrying a dictionary near him or when he hears the word ‘plunder’ or ‘triple word score’ - Ron will only shudder and say ‘no way mate’ when asked about this event.)
By Easter there’s a prototype. They run it past Mr and Mrs Granger who have some lovely suggestions of further mundane muggle mishaps.
The first edition is launched just in time for the summer holidays, with a couple of teaser boxes having mysteriously appeared in the Hogwarts common rooms.
By September it’s all the rage. WWW even get some endorsement from Martin Miggs who becomes a playable character.
Arthur Weasley is the longest running Mayhem Master in Britain.
(Minerva McGonagall tries, she really tries, harder than she’s willing to admit, but Arthur’s Supermarket Run and the Paperwork Saga are legendary - the Filing Income Tax campaign is the hardest by far)
Arthur’s very favourite thing is still the dice
You can play as a…
Dentist Travel Agent Pilot Doctor Traffic warden Lawyer TV presenter Electrician Drill salesman Insurance broker
and hundreds of other Muggle careers!
You can choose a pastime…
Stamp collecting Golf Football Gardening Trainspotting Bird watching Stargazing Photography Gaming
and many more inexplicable Muggle interests!
You can purchase your starter kit from Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade and Owl Post for only 10 Sickles and 2 Knuts. Muggle dice included.
I know this is a low blow, but I had to do it (? Hope you like it!!

So I think that teddy and Vic kind of were dating when they were your very much puppy love when Rita skeeter wroote the paper she did on them snoggging. I think they broke up after like a year still messed around with each other (friends with benefits) they were actually really good friends that went to each other all the time yes some awkwardness at first obvi. Then during the kings cross scene not totally together they agree to hold off but everything came to one big explosion once she’s finished at Hogwarts of life’s gonna be in our way whether or not we’re at school or a job or whatever else, we’re either together or we’re not and the rest is history

So the Beautiful Creatures movies was on TV the other day and as I was watching it (for the second time ever since it’s so inaccurate from the book that I never wanted to see it again) I realize how much we were robbed. Like the cast is absolute fucking perfection (some of the costumes and hair should have been different *cough cough Ridley cough cough*). Jeremy Irons as Macon? Sign me the fuck up. The incomparable Emmy Rossum as Ridley? Hell yes. Emma Thompson as Sarafine? Absolutely! Viola Davis as Amma? Perfect fucking casting. Alden and Alice as Ethan and Lena? They look and act the part. The movie could have been so good and if you look at it as a movie on its own, it’s not terrible, but for fans of the books it was a disaster. If they had had the same cast and a more accurate adaptation of the books, it would have been perfect and we probably would have been able to see the other books get adapted too. Not to mention the fact that the Caster Chronicles fandom wouldn’t be as tiny as it is now and we would have fanfics and fanart and everything else that other fandoms have. Ugh. It honestly makes me so mad (especially since I just finished re reading the first book and it still holds up for me)

Andromeda : I am marrying the muggle born
Andromeda : my daughter can marry whoever she wants!
*nymph comes home with remus*
Andromeda : Absolutely not ! He's a werewolf
Ted : .....
Remus: I’ve learned many things in life but one of the most important things is that when making salad, you must always make it in a larger bowl than you think you’ll need. Tonks: …it doesn’t matter what size bowl I make it in, Remus, it’ll always end up on fire… somehow. I don’t even know how! I put it in a perfectly good pan on sizzle for five minutes! Remus:…that’s…your problem…
I love innocent! Hermione/vulgar! Ron!! Imagine Ron cracks a vulgar joke and Hermione doesn't get it and Ron has to explain it to her😂❤
Harry: On a scale of one to ten, you’re a nine, because I’m the one you need.
Draco: I’m a ten.
Harry: No, it’s a pickup lin-
Draco: I. Am. A. Ten.

Now that Amelink drama is over, can we please end the Towen drama asap. Teddy loves Owen—she made that clear. Tom is just one mistake after another. I really can’t wait for her centric soon!

Wow, I cannot believe Jo is a widow now, so sad Alex died when a bookshelf fell on him on the library where his mom works. So sad.
Do you guys thing birth control work on magic folks like if hermione we’re taking a muggle prescribed birth control would it actually protect her from being pregnant or would she have to take a wizarding world birth control
Real world questions
I don't think it had anything to do with Krista wanting to keep Camilla, I think Camilla wanted to stay and they had to write in a storyline that appeases that. I don't think Camilla should of lost her job because Justin wanted to leave. But I do know the majority of jolex fans wanted Camilla to leave. Which I don't think is very fair personally but I understand where they are coming from.
Camilla should definitely not have to leave just because Justin did. She can make her own decisions about her career. The problem is now I’m sure people are going to blame her for the ending because she didn’t leave. They SHOULD blame the writers for being lazy and not writing a satisfying ending that doesn’t negate years of character development and an entire relationship. Jo deserved better and she shouldn’t have only been able to get it by Camilla losing her job.
yo but what if alex lied to everyone and the only thing true is that he’s with izzie. not because he suddenly wanted to be with her or bc she had his kids, but because he’s terminally ill and going to die soon and asked her for help on how to deal with it?
so he wrote those letters to everyone to cope?
does my theory have holes like ‘but he told mer to visit’ or ‘he asked bailey for a recommendation’? yeah it does, but so has the entirety of this season so who really cares at this point?
can i be delusional for while and just pretend it was owen hunt that went off to live on a farm in kansas and that teddy is happy with koracick, amelia’s baby is link’s, and that alex and jo are fine and are adopting a fire station baby
Grey's anatomy thoughts:
- I already stopped watching when I read Alex wasn't returning
- Alex would never leave Jo like that
- Alex would never leave like that without talking to mer
- Alex would never
- Alex! Wouldn't! Leave! Meredith!
- Shonda ??????? What in the literal fckuk???
- Ellen Pompeo has a lot of power how could she possibly allow this
- SIXTEEN years of character development all for this!????
- it's absolutely disrespectful to the character and to the fans
- Like there have been a lot of downhills in this show and they almost entirely killed it with what they did to April and Arizona but they've finally hit the last straw with Alex
- Shonda !!!!!??????? The fcukk!???!!?????
- DISRESPECTFUL
- CHARACTER ASSASSINATION
- This is not the Grey's we stuck around for, through all the ups and downs
- They have irredeemably ruined Grey's
u don’t understand my anger here
jo wilson change her fucking name to JO KAREV
IM GONNA THROW UP
you know you fucked up bad when the majority of your fanbase would rather have an OG character dead than whatever the fuck mess they pulled
is anyone inspired to write a ron weasley x reader fic? send me links or tag me in your writings! thank you
neville x reader fics are also appreciated!
Haven’t watched since it was announced that Justin was leaving the show, but I can honestly say that I would rather them kill Alex, kill Alex AND Jo, or just write them both off the show completely than to watch them assassinate his character and make up a reason as to why he would leave his wife.
Yeah it would suck because Camilla would be totally out of a job, but please... just write both Alex and Jo out of the show.
