The Quill of Acceptance and The Book of Admittance

“In a small locked tower, never visited by any student at Hogwarts, sits an ancient book that has not been touched by human hands since the four founders placed it there on completion of the castle. Beside the book, which is bound in peeling black dragon-hide, stands a small silver inkpot and from this protrudes a long, faded quill. These are the Quill of Acceptance and the Book of Admittance and they constitute the only process by which students are selected for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”

“At the precise moment that a child first exhibits signs of magic, the Quill, which is believed to have been taken from an Augurey, floats up out of its inkpot and attempts to inscribe the name of that child upon the pages of the Book. Those few who have observed the process agree that the Quill might be judged more lenient than the Book. A mere whiff of magic suffices for the Quill. The Book, however, will often snap shut, refusing to be written upon until it receives sufficiently dramatic evidence of magical ability.”

some CHB headcanons

every cabin has LEDs around the inside, but there’s a constant battle over what color they are
Percy has his rippling back and forth from teal to blue and it looks like light dancing through water all over his walls and floor
the Apollo cabin can usually settle for orange and yellow as a common ground
the Aphrodite kids have a different color for each time of day and sleep with pink on the lowest brightness setting
the Hermes cabin has like ten different strips and they’re all constantly shifting
Demeter cabin’s shifts with the seasons
ANYWAYS MOVING AWAY FROM THE LEDS
they have movie nights, which I will talk about in a different post
before everybody goes back to school, the Aphrodite and Hecate cabins have a massive salon at the end of the summer with new haircuts and magic hair dye and outfit recommendations and fake but enchanted sturdy nails and a whole bunch of other stuff and basically it’s a week straight of spilling hot tea between everyone in camp
if someone asks where a camper got their hair done when they get back to school they just go “oh, um… summer camp.” and their friends will snort and be like bro isn’t summer camp the opposite of a makeover?? but they get no argument, just a shrug and a half smile
when I tell you pride month over there is a fucking riot
because Mr. D is in on it, right?? because he’s the god of gender?? and Chiron is aroace and has been raising dumbass gay heroes for literal centuries?? PLUS the sheer fucking amount of queer peeps up in there?? dude yeah
cabins competing for who shows the most pride
Demeter’s roof is covered in rainbow flowers
Hecate’s is enchanted to emit actual light in whatever flag colors of whoever uses the front door, even when they’re straight (it’s just a rainbow)
Percy collects a bunch of shed scales from the hippocampi at the bottom of the lake and then puts them all over his cabin
I could make a whole post about CHB pride but
every single Apollo kid is also a theater kid fight me
Rachel Elizabeth Dare painted a skateboard for Percy’s birthday and he brings it everywhere now, it even sits in his backpack at school
Leo, Annabeth, Percy, and Piper fucking love horror movies. Frank, Hazel, and Jason fucking hate them. They watch through their fingers, if at all
Piper loves the band Surfaces with all her heart, but she also is a die hard Green Day and P!ATD fan
Jake Mason is covered in burn scars up to his neck, just like Deadpool, just not bald lol
Hephaestus and Apollo kids faintly radiate warmth
the Stolls sometimes stay at camp year-round because their mom is off on international missions that are too high-risk for them to help with
the seven are AVID Smash Bros players
really everyone but
not as many people go to the Athena campers for help with homework as you might think, but whenever anyone does, they’re happy to help
the sun chariot blasts music at a frequency only the Apollo kids can hear, so their life kind of has a shitty soundtrack that consists of a mix of Broadway, Queen, modern stuff, and random bits of Beethoven every now and then
the Romans swear on few occasions
the Greeks know when to swear and when to be polite
the Valhalla peeps swear unbridled and all the time
the Egyptians never swear (in English)
for the longest time, Will Solace thinks the only gift from his dad is his healing prowess— which is obviously great, but he expresses being upset over the fact that he’s not very good at archery
well, considering this is the dumbass who didn’t bring a weapon to actual fucking Tartarus, Nico drags him to the weapon shack thing immediately afterwards and made him pick something out
he's immediately drawn to the Celestial Bronze shotgun.
Nico’s just like “what in the redneck shit did you just pick up” and Will jokingly aims it at his chest and grins and says “you know I’m from Texas, right?”
that’s how they find out Will is one of the damn best marksmen in Greek demigod history
some of the Disney nerds in the Apollo cabin sing What Once Was Mine to the little ones who need bandaids for knee scrapes and give them lollipops afterwards
Percy Jackson absolutely used to make poverty and struggle meal jokes all the time, but he got weird and concerned looks for it at CHB, so he kind of just stopped. But one day, aboard the Argo II, the PERFECT opportunity came up and he just HAD TO and as per usual— everyone else looked at him like he’s crazy— but Leo laughed so hard chocolate milk came out of his nose and that’s the story of how the two of them became Best Friends

Australian Bushfires 2019/2020

So basically Australia is burning. And has been for months and will continue to burn for many months to come.

I’ve seen lots of posts about what is going on in New South Wales, which don’t get me wrong is absolutely horrid. But down here in Victoria we’re suffering just a bit. I am very lucky where I am that we are currently not under any threat. But, the entire eastern part of our state is engulfed by fire.

To provide some context, where I currently live is in the blue circle in a place called Bendigo and the purple circle is the area which I grew up in and where my parents live which is currently a little bit surrounded but bushfires in areas that crews can not access. And it is only 227km (141 miles) apart.

But that’s is not why I am here, see that big red blob in the map above? That is a place called East Gippsland, this area is a pretty touristy area at this time of year, and as a result of that there are thousands of extra people who are in these areas that shouldn’t be and are therefore being impacted by these hellish conditions. If you look to the far right of Victoria there is a tiny little tourist town called Mallacoota. This place basically was destroyed and the 4000 civilians and the 12 CFA Volunteers from around the state were forced to take cover on the beach and in boats in the ocean.

Scary, huh? Now, yes I know this isn’t affecting me directly by being my backyard on fire. But it does affect me, my dad and boyfriend are both CFA volunteers. In 2019, my boyfriend was deployed in a strike team in New South Wales before we began to burn back home. He was on the list to go Mallacoota as soon as they were able to get transport into the cut off town. But was taken off of the list because they needed at least one of the brigades Leiutennts to man the station back home. And if it also wasn’t for the fact that we are going to America next week he would have already been on the Navy Ships and Army Blackhawks with a strike team to relieve the 12 exhasted CFA members which one of his best mates happened to be one of. But instead, he is manning the fire station everyday for the next 10 days before we leave to make sure that if we do have any more fires in our area that we are safe and protected like he did in the photo below of a grass fire that was deliberately lit last Saturday.

These fires are expected to burn through out extremely drought ridden and dry state for months to come. I want to take this moment to thank our CFA volunteers who drop everything in their lives to go and help strangers in a time of crisis and for months at a time. Thank you to the brave CFA volunteers who in Mallacoota, gave up all of their own dust masks for the civilians around them so it was easier for them to breathe in the heavy smoke and as a result are suffering some from of smoke inhalation. Thank you to the relief crews that finally found a way to get in and help in east Gippsland. Thank you to our volunteers, we wouldn’t survive without you.

Since posting this 2 days ago everything as gone to, please excuse my swearing, absolute fucking shit.

All of these fires to the south east of Victoria have now converged together, there is a massive fire in the north east which is racing into New Soutb Wales and there are a heap of bushfires in the mountainous high country started by lightning from the Pyrocumulus clouds (I’ll explain) which can’t be access by crews that are rapidly growing towards civilisation.

Now these Pyrocumulus clouds, these clouds are basically the smoke of bushfires that create their own weather systems. As the smoke cools, it creates clouds and then thunderstorms, short down bursts of rain and then lighting. The god damn lighting then causes more fires.

These fires that are in the dense high country ( the centre most fires, near the binocular image) are so close to where I grew up that my family is preparing to evacuate. The animals have already have been taken to my Nanna’s in town, my mum has everything in her car ready to go, my sister is on her way there to pack up her things and my dad is carrying his CFA gear with him where ever he goes just in case he gets ‘the call’. And to top it all off, my boyfriend who lives 3 hours away got ‘the call’. The call to drive head on into an area near mum and dads to do what he can to help save the people, the property and the animals.

I honestly don’t know how else to explain this feeling that I know a lot of fellow Australians feel towards what is happening. From hundreds of kilometres away I can’t do anything for my family who are right in the middle of it. It is frustrating that no one in higher power (Looking at you Prime Minister Scott Morrison), will do anything to help. No foreign aid because he says so, no funding to the CFA, RFS being pushed their way because he said so, it’s all about building the economy he says not about the climate catastrophe that we are facing. We need all the help we can get. I’ve seen many different fire situations in Australia over the last 14 years since first almost losing my childhood home and this is by far the worst ever. Yes we’ve had terrible fires like Black Saturday but there has never been this vast amount of our country burning at any one time before.
