What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭

So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.

With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.

Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.

But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

#greenteacup asks #sidebar: I know Minister “of” Magic is an Americanism but mea culpa #Someday I might actually bite it and pay someone to britpick Lionheart but I can't do it now #because I have a ban on editing published fic unless it's finished. Otherwise I'll never get around to writing the actual ending #I have a Process #is it the best process? likely not! but it makes the words go. so here we are. #I also think the fact that JKR is Gen X makes a difference here. careers worked differently in the 80s and 90s than they do now #i.e. we have the gig economy and a lot more mobility and EXPECTATION of mobility in your early life #that means career changes & professional pivots through your 20s and 30s are increasingly normal #and in fact have always been normal — but the image of the 'true' or 'ideal' career has changed #so we look at those careers and go hm. really? none of them changed? #none of them even went to uni? do wizards... just not? #but again. I believe the epilogue was written almost completely without consideration as to what happened between the BOH and then #I really believe that JKR did not know what happened to Harry except a wedding and 3 kids. because that was the whole point #I don't think she even knew what his career was when she wrote that scene #It existed to marry everyone off and do a quick munchkin headcount #because of the understandable temptation as an author to keep your hand on the wheel. but it didn't even matter! #the epilogue changed NOTHING! it was the most useless chapter in the series! I just — GOD #you can absolutely accuse me of being sour grapes about my ships getting nixed. I AM sour grapes. I AM a hater. #AND I have plot/theme/craft reasons for disliking it. #I'm not objective. I just want credit for being a sophisticated hater. my grapes may be sour but they're still artisinal.

No but dont talk to me about the last five seconds being clear eye contact with the Bojan - he really did his best this concert turning me into a Bojan girlie 🥺

#the holdovers 2023 #the holdovers #should've known the same goddamn twink who made nebraska would hurt me again!!! #alexander payne when will you stop #he also made election so he's a personal fave #but godd he knows how to hurt you #i also now understand the hype about the kid who plays angus he was ACTING for his life #and he has the kind of jittery old school cinema energy you only get from 30s and 40s stars #truly a talent! and first acting gig??? jesus #films

Tattoo artist save me. Save me tattoo artist. Message me back and save me. Tattoo artist save me from my anxious torment tattoo artist. Tattoo artist please save me.

#i fumbled up my message to the artist so bad i had to wait a few hours to mentally recover and go back in and explain myself. #now i sit in anxious torment and pray they want to do the tattoo #also realizing they don’t know I’m on a funky sleep schedule so if they get back to me this afternoon they’re not gigs realize I’m asleep #they’re gonna think I’m rude!! AUHHHH

this article about a lawyer and apparently known and respected amateur ecologist tracking down the habitat and proving the continued existence of a particular fish species was very enjoyable (i love any stories where a hobbyist gets to make a genuine contribution to the field) and also taught me about the existence of iEcology, in which researchers do shit like track migration patterns of marine species based on sightings in social media posts, which is soooooooo neat

#my secondary freelance gig involves writing practice SAT verbal content for a test prep company #which is a much better job than it was 8 years ago bc now i can do it in my PJs and make three times as much :) #under those conditions it turns out it's actually not so bad! :) #also the SAT is changing probably partly to become easier to develop tests for it #which is honestly not great for the SAT. but is nice for me #anyway. it involves a lot of scouring the internet for Cool Finds i can make questions about #because the content of the SAT is shifting from like #serious articles written for publications intended for educated laypeople #to 'neato finds' #again. kind of a grim commentary on the state of american education. but nice for me. #but i decided it would be nice to have a record of like #some of the nicer stuff this brings me into contact with #that i never in a million years would have come across on my own bc i don't read science content unless i'm getting paid #work finds

[andyridgeley]

so everybodys going back to not interacting after boops then

#i am TRYING but adskljflaskjflaksjf #hope i get this little gig and go to this concert and start doing other things cause this really..isn't good for the ol mental health folks #eh whatever maybe i'll go write that book now (me when i lie) #personal thingys

[bandzboy]

i wanna talk about how... i had my last class today and we presented our final projects and everyone was so nice about my song and my teachers gave me 18 out 20 and i was surprised because even tho they literally mentioned that they think art should not be graded simply because it's subjective and all, i don't think i've ever had a grade this high on really anything ever? so i really felt very proud of myself on that moment but LATER ON... they asked us individually what we thought of this course and funny enough... i was the last one to talk about my experience and i said that i felt very fulfilled because i never did collaborative work with people before and i learned so much from my classmates! ever since the first day i felt so welcome and since i'm an introvert it's very hard for me to feel comfortable with a group of people immediately and so i was very grateful for that and as i got to talk with all of them individually about music i always felt like i was on the right track and this is honestly what i wanna do because in the end, this career with bring me a connection with people that i never really had until now with any of my friendships and so i'm very grateful but other than that... i also said that if they wanted to reach out to me and collab and do music with me i would always be available and honestly i don't even know how i could be that straightforward it was a first for me i was like wow i really did that??? and they agreed and it made me so happy and especially because i wanna keep being friends with these people like i was on the way there and i thought that i didn't want to not want to see them again after today and hopefully we would keep in touch for anything and we keep being in community hopefully so yeah... i never thought i would feel comfortable to even ask people to keep in touch and actually mean it and hopefully that our friendship will grow over time

#this is long but it's mostly for me #because it's been hours since i've been home #and i even told my parents all of this #but there hasn't been a day that i didn't come from class every week #that i wasn't excited about something so excited that i posted abt it here #or told my parents about it #i remember there was a time i talked a bit about all of my classmates to my mom #THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS CLASS AND THIS PEOPLE #i don't think i've ever felt this way #so much so that i'm sharing on tumblr 😭 #i feel like getting into my 20s things can get lonely #and i've been friendless since like i was 18 #and so this is the first time in forever i feel hopeful about friendships #and the fact that it might happen because of music #is even better #because that always brings me solace is also #bringing me friendship after so long so it's great #i'm also hopeful for the future literally yesterday i was kinda anxious #bc idk what will happen from now i'll be looking for a job #and for gigs here and there #but i don't feel anxious anymore after today i'm excited #there are a lot of possibilities and it's great 🥹 #so yeah very exciting eheh #tris.txt

[corrodedcoughin]

my sillay goofy thought for you is….. picture this; corroded coffin performing their song, stacy’s mom (or sOME STUPID VARIATION OF IT BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THEY HAVE AT LEAST ONE SONG ABOUT HOT MILFS - and maybe the variation is… about having a thing for someone u totallyyyyy shouldn’t have. like who could THAT be?) anyways. is this anything🧍‍♂️

Picking this up and twirling it around like the end of a beautiful romcom AAAAAAHHHH

I ADORE this!! I feel like they’d go in for a 2 for 1 part of their set list. An milf interlude, a milf-terlude if you will…

Scotty doesn’t know and Stacey’s mom played back to back with so much ferocity that at the end there is a shout to the crowd for inhalers and a request for a musical interlude of Jeff giving a quite beautiful guitar solo from the last unicorn soundtrack. They have to calm the masses (6 people in the crowd actively not watching, 4 people that ARE and 5 people at the bar who are not facing them and engaged in their own conversations)

There is no coherence to a corroded coffin set list but you can’t say they don’t create a ✨ musical experience like no other ✨

(Yes Steve is one of the 4 that is watching and promptly unbuttoned his top button of his polo shirt after the milf-terlude that had intense eye contact with a one, Eddie munson)

#ruubbbbbyyyyyy #I’ve not written a Steddie thought in MONTHS #you are activating my neurons #and thinking abt Eddie singing ‘dusty doesn’t know DONT TELL DUSTY’ obnoxiously in his van and at rehearsal #but too scared to do it at the actual gig #they continue to have intense eye contact that neither of them mention for a ridiculous amount of time #until they fight over the free lollipop the diner gives out with the table cheque #both lay claim. both lick it in an attempt to get ownership. both realise they may as well kiss #so they do #IDK!!! #but it’s a Christmas miracle and Wayne is so happy that he gives Steve his Christmas present early #it’s a mug ‘you are part of the fmaily now son 😭’ #then turns to Eddie ‘don’t you fuck this up for me 🫵’ #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #steve harrington #I am so sorry this is such a lame and late reply I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A NICE DAY I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU MWAH MWAH

Sorry for the relative mid-activity level! It's been a busy last couple days! I'm hoping to post some Valentine's art tonight or tomorrow, as well as get caught up with GtWAC.

This week is PACKED, but next week slows down quite a bit so I should have some room to breath/catch up before March.

I may take a short lil 2-3 week Hiatus in March due to some life events, but should be back to regular posting (and regular writing!!) around the 2nd-3rd week in March💕

#AHHH #The amount of gig work I've been racking up lately is AWESOME #but I'm ready to keel over #I keep getting really great opportunities tossed at me and its AMAZING but I've been running full tilt for a few weeks now #I am nearing my limit #ALL GOOD THO #Just ready to hibernate a bit lol

Another great concert although something felt a tiny bit more tense than yesterday...

I blame the venue especially with how the bus was right next to the queue so the guys might have felt that they had no privacy 😅

Lots of good band member interactions on stage tho 👀 plus - but I might be wrong here - I felt like I got even more attention from Bojan today the most obvious being when he got to give my little kris corner fist bumbs but held my hand in his and winked at me 🥹

I still havent told you a lot about Malmö so this may seems a big leap but yeah I promise I will get to it possibly after getting home to a computer and being able to type a diary for myself before making one for tumblr xD

#i will say it was a good gig although my fave on the tour i have attended is still Malmö #then i am unsure whether i liked Göteborg or helsinki 2 the most after that #helsinki one had a great setlist but probably have to be the fourth place for me #mostly because of my sitting spot the boys seeming to warm up to touring again and the fact i didnt get to queue #because we fangirled all day xD #i didnt get to queue that much today either #but that was because i got there later with the bus and got lost walking to the hotel and back #btw i didnt realise when booking but my hotel is a freaking boat !?!? #nice enough rooms #i am litterally just babbling now :'D #joker out spring tour 2024 #joker out #jo see you soon tour 2024 #sys tour 2024 #Göteborg gig #my gig #mine

[screamingay]

moodboard for when you were looking for a job and then you found a job and heaven knows you're miserable now

#dont get me wrong this is like. a pretty good gig for me but i am so tired all the time #im working in a kitchen btw #but in a closed community so all the people im serving are pretty much the same every day #i like dish days so much more than serving days bc i dont have to talk to people but it's harder on my body aughgh #like overall im fine but 100% in a transitional period now boooo

[born-to-lose]

I know the working conditions were kinda shitty and my colleagues and bosses didn't appreciate me enough but damn I miss the bar already 😭

#maybe it's my anxiety and the drama queen in me acting up more than necessary and they have other problems rn but #i already vented a lot to my family in the last 3 days but at some point i might just make something up so i can go back as a guest for gig #like idk lying about them inviting me to come back because they wanna see me and miss me or smth idkkk #sure there are other venues but this is like a second home at this point 💔💔 plus cheap and close up concerts with iconic bands #even if they don't get paid well or even at all but i can make up for that by buying their merch and inviting them for drinks #arenas are lame i can't meet the musicians and make out with them as easily 🙄 #i'm posting a poem about the bar later 💔 started it before i even thought about leaving but now it stings and feels nostalgic #hell i cried writing the goodbye message and seeing the lacking replies except for two colleagues' nice texts and my bosses' dry ones #i'm never working somewhere i loved as a customer again i swear it only ruins the experience if you know the behind the scenes #mel talks
