If you like musicals, watch The Get Down. 

If you like 70′s aesthetics, New York City, hip hop, or disco, watch The Get Down. 

If you claim to want or support actual representation for people of color, watch The Get Down, which has a majority black and latinx cast and has, like, two white people who only show up a couple times. 

If you want LGBT representation, watch The Get Down. If you want to know a little bit about the history of black and latinx drag culture, ballroom culture, and LGBT culture, watch The Get Down. If you want to see interracial relationships, watch The Get Down. 

If you want to see well written, nuanced women who are complex and who actually make mistakes, watch The Get Down. 

If you want a glimpse into the way working-class people struggle with white capitalism, how poverty subjugates people of color, and the struggles young people of color from these communities face, watch The Get Down.

when you reach 18, you can have wine at important celebrations such as christmas or new year

fleur probably was super annoyed at everyone giving her shitty english bread but toughed it up because she has been raised right

she also probably surprised many people by touching their arms or else randomly because french just do that when comfortable

beauxbâtons being in the pyrénées i guess skiing af ??? tan human beings everywhere except around the eyes ???

or a spell has been created to avoid these fugly tan marks ?

SUPER MEGA AWESOME CELEBRATION ON THE 14TH OF JULY WITH HUGE ASS FIREWORKS

amazing wizard cook

what is buffet for school food, wtf is wrong with u people, no you get a damn plate and you eat what’s in it

but special meals without pork or meat at all for religious and vegan people just like muggle schools do

the french minister of magic imposing muggles subjects in beauxbâtons such as maths, literature and geography because it’s important to share the same values with your own people !!!!

all skin colors represented because France has known several impressive migration waves so diversity \o/

all religions too even though, except in food, no sign of it must be seen, because church is seperated from state, magical world included

no houses like hogwarts, kids being parted in pairs by level and weaknesses and strength so they can pull each others up

‘toujours pur’ is still actually a thing though and french pure-blood are hardcore af

free education even after beauxbâtons

amongst the teachers one of them did May 68 (which is French historical date of us being socialist af and proud of it (not liberal ffs we’re socialist)) ( vpourvelociraptorvaillant )

Parisian wizards can you fucking imagine what the equivalent of Diagon Alley would look like? Motherfuckings catacombs. I bet you anything that the french wizard community built huge underground cities and the catacombs are the doors to it.

If Beauxbâtons is in the Pyrénées, could it be in Basque territory?

MAGIC PETANQUE. JUST IMAGINE MAGIC PETANQUE

I’m thinking about how french wizard recipes would look like and I’m hungry as fuck just thinking about it, it’s a damn miracle the Beauxbâtons students don’t end up fat.

Wizard equivalent of CGT. Just think about it.

Also sea and nature and mountain trips!

Instead of a Prime Minister it’s a President of Wizard Community or some shit.

.. .(son SNCF magique): “Mesdames, Messieurs, SNCF Magique est désolé de vous annoncer que suite à un mouvement social, le trafic en direction de Beauxbatons sera légèrement perturbé.”

Ou encore en cours de Botanique, deux étudiants qui commenceraient “ Là on fera une grande allée avec plein de statues qu'on appellera « La grande allée avec plein de statues !” et toute la classe suivrait !

Maybe students would be separated too in fact? Not in houses, and not for the first years, but depending on their speciality during the 3 last ones? Like for our S/L/ES system? I know it’s not a very good system, but honestly it would be more accurate…

Some classes remain mandatory all the way through, though, like Muggle Studies. Every subject involving muggle culture is taught by Muggle parents of wizard children, who know that magic exists anyway so no need for memory charms, and can provide insiders’ insights instead of second-hand knowledge - which also helps stop the spread of stereotypes.

and for the S/L/ES separation i got an idea, @anotherfrankiewarrior (sorry to tag you ^^)

L learn different magic language (unless japanese wizzard also use dog latin…), runes, more history in a best level. They all speak latin perfeclty outside of the magic (even if they hate latin class). and they learn how to find new word for new Charm.

so they look super serious and cultivated, but they are generally only god of french/magic puns, and nothing else.

the S are super good with potion, botanic, and knowledge fantastic beasts. plus some can try to study the energy used behind magic. there is an equivalent of CERN, but for wizard, and they study the result. but they generally don’t understand anything because it’s way too complicated for high schoolers.

but they are generally nerds using their magic to screw up with computers programs.

the ES are the ones who learn about different magic rules in different country, how to exchange with muggle without reveal magic, how to manipulate muggles government. and generally a bit of everything.

So they are the ones making politics magic meme.

and it’s like classic L/S/ES: they act as if they hate each others guts.

and for the uniform: one time they came across hogwarts student who mocked them because they didn’t have uniform. so they made some they only wear if they are with student of a schools asking for uniform.

and because it’s not actually a beauxbâtons uniform, they  can change them when they with the uniform. beautiful, cliché, it just depends of the students moods.

and piss of some teachers, and others have been the ones inventing the said uniform, so they silently approve it.
