Why do LIKE watching your favorites die?

    Because if I get attached to a character to the point where I cry over their death, then they were important to me.  And I like to  make myself cry.

Mary River MacDonald is a muggleborn, and she ain’t afraid to show you. The instant she placed her Doc Martens on the marble floors of Hogwarts she knew that she would meet resistance. Did she care? No. Instead, she would make it her mission to cause annoyance. Where quills were required she would whine about their idiocy, and ask her mother to please send her pens to use ( “Wizards are abso’ weirdos, mum. Send me pens, pls xoxo” ), and, often, she would sing David Bowie songs ( Heroes, after its release ) as she walked down the hallways. She became a symbol of the muggle-world within the walls of Hogwarts. Talking of Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, Blondie ( !!! ), but most of all she would talk of the oddity of being judge for the blood in your veins. Mary was never afraid of being exactly who she was, because her mother had made a point out of raising her daughter unafraid and with the ability to get what she wanted if she wanted it enough. Yet, the mark Mulciber left upon porcelain skin would never fade from her memory. Out of sight, but never out of mind. Whereas potions was not her strongest academic endeavour, Mary would excel in Charms and History of Magic. She was never born to be a fighter, even if Defence Against the Dark Arts was interesting ( thrilling! ) her attention-span never really managed the tedious classes. Instead, Mary was a pixie girl with dreams in her eyes and a cigarette tucked behind her right ear. She was painfully real, and horribly non-comital ( even to her friends ), claiming that spontaneity and life was killed by plans. 

“Yo, got some green, pal?” Petite figure approaching, clad in a too big t-shirt and a tight miniskirt. Docs on her feet and a smile to accompany the question. “Swear to God that I should’ve brought more from home. I’m Mary, by the way. Lovely to meet ‘cha, babes.”

Mary River MacDonald, grew up in Brighton, England, but have always had a love for London ( especially the Camden Town area ). She was raised by a single-mother who constantly changed the story about who the man who fathered the girl might’ve been. Mary preferred the story about her father being one of the Beatles, and, thus, stuck to it ever since. Her mother raised her to never be afraid of who she was, and when the letter of Mary’s magical abilities arrived the unresolved tirade of questions was easily solved. Straight at Hogwarts the girl made a mark, clad in the school uniform of an un-sorted first year and matching it with the obvious muggle-choice of Doc Martens. ( perhaps it was these peculiar instances that caught mulciber’s eye to begin with? ). Quickly sorted into Gryffindor she befriended the one year older Lily Evans in a heartbeat. Their friendship growing closer by the day, so close that there might have been a rumour or two about a civil partnership. However, even if Mary was a good friend she had a fear of letting in too much, and in her own wish for survival and health she would leave the UK the instant that the Potter’s passed. No one heard from her for years – the truth being that Mary didn’t want to talk to anyone. She ran away, like she always did, not talking of what burned her. & she would continue to run for years to come.

Publius Vergilius Maro, The Aeneid, Liber Quartus

[nathanielthecurious]

So I might make one of those popular text post memes about the Aeneid, but I've only found a couple posts so far that could work. Anyone have any ideas?

Dido: He is BAE

Anna: You should call him Bæneas

Dido: Good idea

The official ship name for Dido/Aeneas is now Dido Aeneas. With an elision.
