So I’m working on this Hetalia/Harry Potter crossover that might not actually be written and a part of it is set in chamber of secrets and I had a thought/question about the workings of the basilisk’s gaze and its killing/petrifying properties
Cause, it’s stare petrifies you if you indirectly look it in the eyes right and we’re shown a few different ways this plays out, like seeing its reflection or looking at it through a ghost
And then there’s Colin Creevey
He sees the basilisk through the lens of his camera. Now, in the book we don’t actually find out what kind of camera he’s using, but I think it’s safe to say that it has a viewfinder (aka that little thing photographers look through to see what they’re photographing). Now, from how I understand it, that viewfinder is really just a lens. Colin Creevey survived looking a basilisk in the eye by seeing it through a lens
So, theoretically, you should be able to survive a basilisks killing gaze by... wearing glasses?
Actavis you and I need to have a conversation because what the fuck
Why
The fuck
Is your pill bottles so goddamned big???
That thing is like half the size of my hand and contains thirty tiny ass pills
They barely cover the fucking bottom. You could have made it half that size and still have more than enough space for the fucking pills
W H Y ???
WHATS THE FUCKING POINT???
Well, my first posted digital art photo.
Y’know, for something I drew with my finger it’s actually pretty good (since I don’t have a drawing tablet I have to make due with the ibispaint app and my fingers :/)
Anyways, have...uhhh... punk Denmark? Something like that. (also he trans but u can’t see that)
((It’s actually Denmark from an AU of mine but thats a different story))
Oh, also, kudos to @askthedanishdork for giving me the idea of giving Denmark an eyebrow piercing *fingerguns*
Honestly this is such a APH Norway aesthetic
Memorize your route. Your map can and will lie.
Take the safest roads.
Mountain passes shift between our world and another - do not leave your car when you are crossing a mountain pass.
If you see something you believe to be a bear, do not photograph it.
The snow does strange things to our eyes.
Borders shift.
Do not speak to anyone you meet further than a kilometer from the nearest building.
Not everything that appears to be human is.
You may eat at rest stops but leave as soon as possible. If there are no other guests there, leave immediately.
Don’t listen to birdsongs for too long - they will start to tell you things you’d rather not hear.
There are no shortcuts.
Something is looking at you, but it is indifferent to your existence.
The things beneath the soil would rather stay undisturbed. Don’t dig.
Bring a mirror and a clear head.
Leave all religious items at home. They will make a scent trail.
There is a reason we fear wolves, but it isn’t the one you think.
Do not touch scissors on the ground. Ever.
The wind will bite you. Cover up.
The longer you spend in the woods, the stranger the air gets.
Stay calm.
Never approach old houses.
If there is mist on the ground, do not be afraid.
Windmills are further away than they seem.
Don’t look into lakes.
Some farms don’t always exist. Don’t worry if you can’t find it on your return trip.
Don’t drink slow-running river water. If you do, there will invariably be a dead animal upstream.
Bridges are sacred places. Do not disrespect them.
Avoid wetlands.
There are no children out here, only false ones.
If you suddenly get lost, stay very still.
Anyone want some kitties?
Introducing my neko!canada and neko!america designs since the canon ones couldn’t quite satisfy me
I love these puffballs
Your nordic headcanons were beautiful and like I just need more. Would you take requests? Like wow
Sorry it took so long to answer, I forget easily and I get kinda anxious cause I don’t know what to say!
Also, sure? It might take a little while until I get around to doing ‘em, so I hope you’d be willing to wait a little, but request would be nice. It might help with my motivation to do and finish things too
And thanks! I’m really glad you liked what I wrote, it was a spur of the moment kinda thing and I wasn’t certain if it was good or not. Might be because I’m so used to staring at my own writing and never getting a second opinion on it!
I MIGHT BE AN IDIOT BUT I JUST REALIZED THAT APH AUSTRALIA DRESSES LIKE STEVE IRWIN AND MY MIND IS BLOWN. I’M SHOOKETH. ????what...????
Romano: You killed the love of my life!
Spain: I’m the love of your life?
Romano: I don’t know, I’m still angry at you!
Hallo! I am very bad at social media. They/Them, currently skittering around in mostly the Hermitcraft and Submas fandoms, but dabbles in others. You can call me Nix :)
