I have a question. Do you think James and Sirius were right to bully Snape because of his poverty? It seems to me they shouldn’t have bullied him but shouldve started exploiting him… that would’ve been more capitalist, don’t you think???

ahhh thank you, it's always great hearing from a fan! 🥰 i'm currently working on another book called the capitalist manifesto, very excited for this!!

Thanks for inquiring after me, @forestdeath1 and @nodirectionhome-ao3 x

1. ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

My middle name is my great-great grandparents' surname. They immigrated from Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland around 1850. My mum and one of my nieces also have it as a middle name, and if I ever have a kid -- regardless of gender -- they'll have it as well. I used to hate it when I was a kid because no one where I grew up could either spell or pronounce it correctly, but now I love it.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?

I don't know exactly. I know I got drunk and listened to Beethoven a few weeks ago, so it was probably then. I find it cathartic, and will do it on occasion just for that release.

3. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?

Nein.

4. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?

I tend to be rather dry as opposed to sarcastic.

5. WHAT SPORTS HAVE YOU PLAYED/DO YOU PLAY?

I'm reading this as asking which sports I've done in an official competitive setting outside of gym class, in which case, I've competed in: dance (ballet and tap); gymnastics; softball; basketball; orienteering; swimming; marathoning (and other road races); and I shoot pool. I, um, love sports.

6. WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?

Probably their hair and general countenance.

7. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?

¿Por qué no los dos?

I like scary movies, I enjoy happy endings, but what I really can't resist is a tragedy.

8. ANY SPECIAL TALENTS?

I can dislocate my shoulders and belch on command. I've got a pretty good head for facts and figures and do pretty well at trivia. I also do well at karaoke and drawing, and just generally being a consummate badass 😎.

9. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?

St Louis, Missouri, USA.

10. WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

I love puzzles!! Crosswords are my favourite, and have been since my grandmother taught me how to do them when I was little, but I also love jigsaw puzzles, word puzzles, rebuses, cryptoquips, sudokus, etc. You name it, I probably want to solve it. I also love travelling (I pretty much just save my money to travel), drawing, reading, running my mouth, pool (like billiards, not like beach), and going to restaurants and playing critic (I do this with breweries as well, but not as often). I love trying new things. I'll get too bored otherwise. I also just like wandering around.

11. DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?

Not currently. Fishies would be relaxing. If I ever move to a larger place where I'd have space for a decent-sized tank, I'd look into having fish again.

12. ALL-TIME FAVOURITE PIECE OF MEDIA?

I had some smartass answer in my head when I sat down to start answering these questions, but it's left me now. Trust me, it was terribly clever and witty.

13. FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?

History and Human Anatomy and Physiology. I also adored Geography in middle school (it wasn't offered as a class in my district past that point, which is a real shame).

14. WHAT IS YOUR DREAM JOB?

As many others have said, I do not dream of labour. I just want to explore and be paid for it, lol. I did just apply for a job with a major airline, so, hopefully, that pans out as the position pays well enough and there are travel perks.

Being a pathologist would be wicked cool and suit me as well. Medical mysteries are just another puzzle.

15. WHAT IS YOUR EYE COLOUR?

I call it slate.

I'm just going to tag a few people, but if you want to do this as well, consider yourself tagged =D

Good morning!

Send me any marauder eras character + number and I’ll answer

5) a headcanon i have

Her dream job was to become a Healer, however she realized that she is very talented with sewing and decided to make the switch.

I also want to believe that she managed to create some foolproof plan (polyjuice) to switch places with her daughter Nymphadora, on the Battle of Hogwarts. Instead of her daughter fighting, she’s the one that heads to battle (she knows how to duel because she would duel a lot with Bella when they were growing up). Andromeda had a ton of spells/protection in her home, so Nymphadora & Teddy would be safe. It wasn’t until she was battling along side her son-in-law Remus Lupin (who knew something was off from the start) was the moment that Bella closed in on them and that’s when the polyjuice started to wear off.

(Not sure who is the second one supposed to be, feel free to send another ask if you want ❤️)

James Potter

2) what I hate about them

Hmm, this is tough… I’ll go with him hexing other students for no reason. I find that to be annoying , which makes me wonder if he ever apologized to the people he hexed (not counting DE).

Oh, and the moment in which he faced Voldemort without a wand. Why couldn’t he remember Mad-Eye’s motto “constant vigilance” what did he expect? To do a dance battle with Voldy, was James going to channel his inner Raygun?

"A food you dislike without trying"

Oh, man, that's difficult because I'm the sort of person that will try most anything once just for the experience of it and to make sure it isn't something I might actually like, but a food I am pretty much against eating on principle?

LIVER and KIDNEYS.

Just based on their function within the body. Honestly, I'm not keen on eating most organs, if I'm honest.

Oh! Bugs and worms and such! I don't think I'd eat them if I had a choice. I don't think I'd care for the texture AT ALL. Maybe they'd be all right if I wrapped them up in a Fruit Roll-Up: that's how I ingested shrooms back in the day because their taste and texture were awful. The Fruit Roll-Ups covered that right up.

thank you for the ask!

14. do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV?

okay so. yes.

i’m very aware that indian cinema is mostly known as a meme internationally because of all the ridiculous soap opera clips that go viral, (and they really are ridiculous), or they’re just known as colourfests of singing and dancing with no real depth. but just like how a certain type of indian identity floods the international market, only a certain type of filmmaking becomes infamous.

india has MULTIPLE film industries, separated by language/region. much like its regular old history, it has a rich and vast cinematic history as well. and there truly are superb indian films! mainstream and artsy. directors like satyajit ray were absolutely groundbreaking and regularly inspire directors of the likes of martin scorsese, wes anderson and steven spielberg. hell, tarantino borrows ideas from telugu films! there is some really good stuff in here!

i recently watched a documentary on an outsider pov to hindi cinema, made for a very intriguing watch!

17. are you interested in your country’s history?

most definitely! it’s got a very long and convoluted history and what we’re taught in school is a very, very, very, very tiny and biased part of this massive lore but yes, i find it fascinating. i’m a law student so we’ve got a bunch of history again (i took science in high school) and i especially love regional history. some great stuff in there. i do not however like the actual exam we have for the subject 😭

1. I ran four marathons in just under a year (25 Nov 2018 - 3 Nov 2019). I've completed two more since then, and am going for Berlin in September.

2. When I feel like I need a good cathartic cry, I listen to Beethoven (particularly the 9th symphony).

oooooh i'm sorry if this is generic, but i love taylor swift's music. it's so good.

i loooove baking, it's so much fun!! i especially like baking cakes.

i am currently reading the absolute trainwreck of a series: all for the game. i'm still on the first book because i keep getting distracted lmao
