yknow the more jk rowlings world falls apart in america (race relations, international history, population, etc) the more i like to think that america just straight up doesnt have the statute of secrecy. european countries are falling over themselves hiding magic but come to georgia and theres a drunk redneck wizard wingardium leviosa-ing the shit out of a tractor to the delight of his drunk redneck muggle buddies in a walmart parking lot.

wizard on muggle violence is prevented by virtue of there being like a 50/50 chance that muggle is packing heat. muggle on wizard violence is prevented by knowing that wizard can give you boils spelling LIL BITCH on your forehead if you try to start something.

america is the weird redheaded stepchild of the magic world.

im not gonna stop reblogging this until this is the next Hot Fanon

english muggles come back to england and suspicious wizards meet them at the airport. 

‘did you witness any strange or inexplicable acts while you were in america?’ they demand. 

the english muggles just laugh in their dumb fucking faces. mate, it’s america. 

what’s the difference between a werewolf and an animagus?

american wizard: six beers

@jumpingjacktrash congrats ive read hundreds of comments on this dumpster fire of a headcanon and yours is the best

thank you my patronus is a monster truck

Not gonna lie, I kind of love this. It also explains the hell out of a lot of county fairs.

“How do you fry cola?” a tourist asks, looking askance at the booth promising Deep Fried Coca Cola as well as fried cookie dough balls. “That seems impossible.” They still hand over the dollars for a paper cup full of hot fried balls of cola, dusted with powdered sugar. They are incredibly delicious, the cola somehow still fizzing. 

“Family recipe,” Darlene says with a smile, brushing her bangs off her forehead. It’s hot even in September. Her wand is tucked in her belt, beside her giant belt buckle for winning the state barrel racing championships twenty years ago. She has another one at home, for winning the barrel racing championships at the wizard rodeo as well. When her daughter asks whether it is harder to ride horses or magical barrels, Darlene just shrugs. 

“The horses definitely bite less than the barrels.”

I made a thing! I was thinking about this for a few days – because I realized that when I was young, I was also frustrated about being given the same advice over and over – without really knowing what it meant!!

Here’s 5 techniques which I have done before which have helped me grow as an artist, which are good for 5-minute warmups or just straight up challenges for your sketchbook! 

Obviously, these are not the ONLY techniques – they’re just the ones I find most fun! And maybe they’re not the most ‘correct’ ones out there, but it’s better than another comic about practicing more, right? 

Good luck to everyone on their drawings!

Honestly, as an artist and illustrator myself, seeing all the posts yelling at newbies to “practice” is so frustrating to me. It feels condescending, and would have had me running for the hills in no time if I was just starting out. This is much more helpful.

New Study Finds That Transgender Identity Is Not A Mental Disorder

projectqueer:

The research, led by the National Institute of Psychiatry, interviewed 250 transgender people and found that it is not a mental disorder as once believed. Apparently, distress and impairment are the two essential characteristics of a mental disorder, and they found transgender people can experience some distress but not because they are transgender, but because of social rejection and violence.
