“Thank you for the box.”

Nishinoya turned abruptly, the growing redness of his neck illuminated by the lamplight. “I...I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Random Harry Potter Thoughts (1/?): Writing Implements

I'm a huge fan of documentaries, which is why I found myself wondering while watching a series on Medieval Life why Hogwarts uses quills and parchment.

There's obvious aesthetic reasons, especially if you want to write about a magical culture that is separate culturally and politically from the modern muggle world, and which seems to have had no meaningful changes since the introduction the Hogwarts Express.

And yet parchment is incredibly difficult to make. You have to prepare the untanned skins of sheep, goats, and cows in a laborious process that takes muggles days, if not weeks, for a single hide. Undoubtably magic can make that process faster, but it still leaves the question of where the magical world is getting enough animal hide to meet their daily needs. It could take a herd of up to 300 cows to produce enough parchment for a Bible - how many would be needed to produce the many books published by the Wizarding World each year, not to mention provide for the educational needs of all of the students enrolled in Hogwarts? And if these books aren't printed on parchment, why insist on its use for letters, homework, and notes? (And I would point out, The Daily Prophet appears to be printed on muggle newsprint.)

Then there are the quills. Even assuming magic makes it so each quill lasts longer than a muggle version would and doesn't require the same amount of sharpening, they're still not very good writing implements. Again, even assuming magic can reduce the need to stop and refill ink, it's a rather slower going than even a dip pen and requires specialized education to use - which naturally puts muggle-born and muggle-raised students at a disadvantage. Add on to this that most birds can only provide 10-12 good-quality quills a season and a student can be expected to lose that many in a single year... and now you're talking about massive flocks of birds as well which must be maintained to ensure the Wizarding World can write on all its parchment.

Perhaps the Malfoy family built their wealth supplying this market, and all those peacocks are just the prettiest part of the many flocks which must be needed for the day to day needs of the population.

Granted, much of this could be offloaded to the muggle sector, but who in the muggle world makes parchment on a commercial scale these days? And even if Wizards are just buying the untanned skins, there's still a massive magical industry that has to back it up - how many Hogwarts graduates are needed to fuel it? - to say nothing about the brows this will surly raise among muggle animal rights groups.

And this doesn't even touch on ink-making to supply all those quills - and all the potioneers or enchanters that must be needed to give them their magical properties.

So I think in the course of this rant I found my answer: economics. Enough Wizards must be involved in the sale, production, and maintenance of the parchment, quill, and ink industries that to change to muggle methods would disrupt a number of - potentially economically and politically powerful - livelihoods. You can couch it in tradition, dress it up in politics, and spend your days simply saying this is what we've always done, but in the end money talks.

this video will show a little more how the iron gall ink changes from a nearly sky blue to something much darker

#my art #my ninja tools and scrolls #iron gall ink #video #my jutsu #medieval folks used to use iron gall ink...the thing is that its very acidic so theres like. medieval texts? where all the words have eaten #through the parchment they were written on #so you have holes in the paper in the perfect shape of letters #and its still somewhat readable its just deeply weird #the stuff im using in this video is diamine blue black #though ive experimented with rohrer & klinger too #i like it and it has the same darkening capabilities as diamine but #its not NEARLY as waterproof...it comes up immediately when i try watercoloring over it #meanwhile diamine is waterproof and also unaffected by copic markers apparently which is pretty sexy

I created an Instagram account over a year ago for work and suchlike, I have like 12 untagged posts mainly of fungi and rocks and stuff I found in a hole and sometimes a book with an unreadable cover and the only posts I ever see are tall ship accounts and people in the Antarctic visiting Shackleton and Scott’s respective huts. Only once in a blue moon will I post something relating to what I actually do and that, my friends, is how it ought to be

#IF YOU WANT TO HIRE ME YOU NEED TO WALK INTO THE WOODS AND KNOCK THRICE ‘PON A YEW #alternatively go to the docks and overhear the mariners’ superstitions and tales of the unspeakable they’ve witnessed at sea #write my name on a piece of parchment using the ink from a shaggy ink cap mushroom by candlelight #the way it’s meant to be

It's like every time I want to do something just for the sake of happiness, the real, modern world comes in and spills squid ink on my beautiful parchment of plans.
