Interestingly Dumb Stuff

her name was freddie oversteegen and she, at the age of fourteen, along with her older sister truus who was 16 and their friend johanna “hannie” schaft who was 19, was a part of the netherlands most famous all female resistance cell which was dedicated to fighting the nazis and dutch traitors.

among other things, they are known to have blown up bridges and railroads, smuggled jewish children from concentration camps and, as the tweet mentions, seducing nazis and then shooting them with guns that they had hidden in their bike baskets. freddie is quoted as having said that they “had to do it.” and that it was a “necessary evil, killing those who betrayed good people.”

though freddie and her sister truus were both lucky and survived the war, hannie schaft wasn’t. at the age of 24, hannie was caught and around three weeks later was executed by nazis, only 18 days before the netherlands were eventually liberated. she was shot with one only wounding her, and, before the final shot, hannie is quoted as having told the executioners: ik schiet beter, which translates to “i shoot better.”

though she didn’t survive, hannie is recognized as a national icon and a face of the dutch resistance, with her story even being retold in a movie from 1981 called “the girl with the red hair.” along with this, truus also founded the national hannie schaft foundation in 1992, on which freddie served as a board member.

freddie, at the time of her death, was 92 years old and the last surviving member of the resistance cell, with truus having died two years earlier at the age of 92.

This is based off a kdrama I've watch called 'Twinkling Watermelon' WAIT STOP I GET THAT ITS A STUPID NAME OKAY 😭 BUT ITS GOOD ISTG let me just (kind of) explain the main plot through the marauders. (You don't actually need to read the explanation by the way. I just really love to recommend it to anyone who's willing to listen ☺️)

So basically, the mc has two deaf parents and a deaf brother. The mc wants to be a musician however his dad doesn't allow it because unbeknownst to the mc, the dad was in a band when he was younger but then there was this accident that caused them to disband. So the mc and his father have a fight mc storms off. It gets a bit fantasy sci-fi here when the mc finds this random music shop. He goes in meeting this mysteriously odd guy and then leaves. However, instead of it being the year 2023, he realises he's in the year 1995. He then tries to change the past and prevent the accident from happening.

Ok, so now that that's out of the way!

Marauders band au except a freak accident happened that lead to majority of them dying - fast forward - Peter is a solo artist for Riddles Label (Riddle Records?), Remus is on the streets trying to survive until the next day playing rinse and repeat, and Sirius got arrested for the murder of his closest friends.

Now you know how I said band au? I technically didn't say modern au... so fast forward to Harry living with neglect and abuse from his uncle and aunt. Blah blah blah he goes to the same school his dead parents used to go yada yada yada he wants to become a musician, joins an amateur band (Hermione, Ron, Luna, Ginny, Neville) however he gets caught by his aunt who would rather die than let her nephew die the same way her sister did (as well as her friends). And she basically says that he can't be a musician they argue blah blah Harry's pissed off so he storms out of the house. He goes to Hogwarts except its late at night so he tries to sneak in (did I mention it being a no magic au?)

But anyway I'm not sure how to explain this part well but I imagine Harry going into the castle to go to the astronomy tower and then suddenly the moon is rapidly descending while the sun is rising. And then the next thing Harry knows is that he isn't by himself anymore, he's in a class full of students. I don't want him to meet them straight away so I imagine Harry would be hidden away. I kinda just want him to observe and process what's happening rather than just throw him in u know?
