This Is How The Sorting Hat Came Into Being.No Arguments.

This is how the sorting hat came into being. No arguments.

So here’s one of my founders headcanons: Salazar Slytherin being a potions master is all well and good, but just because his house produced a lot of them doesn’t mean he was one. Basically, imagine Rowena Ravenclaw as a mad scientist. Imagine her working on a potion all night and almost falling asleep at the breakfast table. Imagine her with crazy hair and sooty clothing because “It exploded, Salazar! It’s not supposed to do that! Why did the hellebore have such a violent reaction to the aconite!!” and Salazar just sighs and “Rowena, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Were you experimenting with your potions again? You know that’s not my area of expertise.”

Imagine Rowena getting a pretty diadem from her aunt who thinks she should act more like a lady. And Rowena doesn’t know what to do with it because jewelry isn’t practical, what if it gets stuck in something or falls into a potion? So instead she leaves it on the table and gets distracted by her thoughts, and ´I wonder what would happen if I made a runic chain mixing sumerian and norse. Hmm… if I added mannaz there and.. but what would I use it for. It could boost someone’s intelligence if I added the hagalaz rune there but how do I apply it to a person without causing irreparable damage… what if….´ and then she remembers the diadem in front of her and grabs it, heading for her workshop.

Rowena finishing the diadem but noticing it only works on fullblooded humans, not centaurs or other similar beings. She tries to figure out why and sees the mannaz rune in her configuration. Mannaz, human. She removes it and adds some other runes for balance, because mannaz is usually used to stabilize. But she needs something to try the new rune chain on. She doesn’t really have any more jewelry. So she sneaks in and “borrows” Godric’s hat while he’s asleep, and works on it for hours.The end results are not quite what she planned. Breakfast the next morning is… interesting (maybe she shouldn’t have taken out the mannaz rune). “Hey, has anyone seen my hat?” “Er, about that Godric..” “Rowena what did you do.” “I… ImighthavemadeyourhatsentientI’msosorry!” “..did you just say you made my hat sentient? How the fuck did you even do that? Wait no, don’t answer that, just give me my hat.” “I.. are you sure you want it? It’s just that, well, it picked up some of your habits…” “What do you mean?” “Well.. you know how you sometimes sing drinking songs when you’re bored?” “Yes… Wait. Rowena, please don’t tell me-” “WHEN YOUR DRINK IS HALF EMPTY AND YOUR GLASS IS HALF FULL, WHEN YOU’RE DOWN ON YOUR LUCK AND YOUR LUCK IS DOWNHILL, I’M THE HAT FOR YOU IF YOU TIP YOUR HAT TO ME, OH HEYY, TIP YOUR HAT TO MEEE” “This is your fault Rowena”

Just, mad scientist Rowena. The other founders avoiding her part of the castle because of fumes. Students forbidden from going into the labs without supervision because she might have left a potion to brew or a bit of runework unfinished or another one of those carnivorous cauldrons lying around. Mad scientist Rowena Ravenclaw. Yes.

My mother just gave me advice on how to befriend my neighbours 👌 (They have a cat and I REALLY want to cuddle the cat.)

The moral of the lecture is: apparently asking for sugar is the way to make new friends 👆

Thank you! 😄 Yes it is, and it was delicious 😘

What’s in your bag beard - Albus Dumbledore Edition

Dumbledore: I heard there was this new trend at my school, that everyone shows what they’re carrying around every day. Since I am the headmaster, I thought I should join in.

Dumbledore: They taste like liquid Sugar.

Dumbledore: Let’s go on.

Dumbledore: Another thing that’s very important to me:

Dumbledore: Music can be quite useful to ease up a tense situation. I want to introduce you to someone.

Dumbledore: Obviously, a school as big as Hogwarts needs a lot of money, so it’s always good to have a Niffler or two with you. Let me look for more.

Dumbledore: What the fuck is this?

Dumbledore: How could I forget about this?!

Bonus:

Dumbledore: Baby shoes. Not at all for nostalgic reasons

Dumbledore: Look how tiny they are!

((OOC: Dumbledore out. In the usual Sami-style I’m late to the party. But you know? Save the best for last ;) Luckily my thread will probably not be the last of this series Anyway special thanks to @kapitan5o​ for having this amazing idea! And my admiration to everyone who did this so far, y’all were incredibly creative! Now I’ll shut up))

((OOC: As always I am late for this. But you know, save the best for last ;) ))

Let’s just invent something new!

Gender-Things

((OOC Jacci: So because German is a bitch and there is NO GENDER NEUTRAL pronoun… to all “they/them”-tumblogs… which pronoun should we use when we’re talking about you? he/she/it? Becci for example decided for “it”. Since that’s the closest to gender neutral. But what should we use for you? This question is especially for @askthelocalnerd since they are German and so we’re sometimes not sure?

This question seems so weird but we really care about gendering you the way you want it… But it’s so difficult…))
