In fact, the latter infuriated him; it had taken all his self control not to curse the arithmancy professor when he overheard her talking to his potions professor about how he’d been a ‘surprisingly mouthy Asian’ who had dared stand up to her and point out that her calculation method was inferior and more complex than the one taught in Durmstrang.
gjdkslgdf sorry this is from a chapter i’m writing for my oc
tagging: (i am NOT tagging ~60 people, fuck this) i’m going to tag 10 hopefully that’s good enough? @swearwolflupin, @burkesandborgin, @slyttherin, @holy-snitch, @transalbus, @smlfoy, @fortesques, @beauxbaton, @leejorden, and @karkaroff 💖💖 i’m pretty sure all of you write??? if you don’t i’m sorry pls block me but don’t feel pressured to do this if you don’t want to!!
Today I turned 22! To celebrate with you all, I figured I can make some URL edits?? This isn’t going to be a huge thing, but I hope that you might also give me some inspiration for future edits? Without further ado:
- mbf me :)
- reblog to spread the birthday love!
- send me:
your preferred url (disclaimer: if it’s not HP, I might not do it - or I might message you for clarifications)
[optional] items that you think might fit in an arts & antiques auction held in Borgin & Burkes! See these posters by my better half Reb @durmstranqs for reference. I’m hoping to make a series of auction lot edits, so that the final product looks like an auction catalogue of magical antiques. The theme is “East meets West”.
And that’s it! Give me as much details as you want for the url edits, and I promise I’ll get to them ❤

♞ - I guess the first thing you should know about me is that I hate trying to describe myself but anyway... I'm a super anxious person who loves theatre more than life itself; I also really love writing but I struggle with it. I want to follow my passions but I fear that I won't be successful, so my dream is to be able to do what I love. Reb honestly thank you so much for everything, it's been such an honor getting to know you and I hope this new chapter of your life goes well for you! <3
eddie! thank you so much, the sentiment is very much reciprocated! i’m so glad to have gotten to know you, it’s been a wonderful ride, thank you!!

I'd like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return.

answers below the cut
how old are you?
21
what’s your current job?
i’m an intern at mit press
what are you talented at?
in general, words ... people all know me as the polyglot lmao, but i’m also a pretty good writer and i’m good at reading too. i’m also good at reasoning
what’s your aesthetic?
i have two main aesthetics
dark clothes, doc martens, ironic t-shirts, piercings, tattoos, punk rock, anti-establishment, issues with authority figures, reckless, will wreck things
neutral colours, wool, tweed, ironed button ups, cardigans and sweaters, hardcover books, constructivist political philosophy, devil’s advocate
do you collect anything?
mainly books, records, t-shirts, stuffed animals
what’s a topic you always talk about?
i’m always talking about history? in particular wwi, anything related to russia, and the mongol empire. i also shit talk the adults in my life a lot -- neighbours, family friends. my dad thinks it’s funny, my mom not so much. in general a lot of politics? music. lots of music history; in particular, punk and disco. and also, my fandoms, but less so irl
what’s a pet peeve of yours?
grammatical/syntactical/spelling errors of all sorts, in any language i can understand. related -- any error made in regards to depicting a particular culture; i.e. wrong declension of last name, incorrect use of patronymic. i absolutely hate it. i’ll forgive people if they make an honest mistake because they don’t understand the culture, but i’ll lowkey think it was your responsibility to research this beforehand
this is actually the reason why i won’t really read the grisha trilogy? i think that’s what it’s called? because the russian in there is wrong. i’ve been told that it’s on purpose because it’s an alternate universe, but it’ll piss me off too much if i read it
three songs you recommend:
holy ghost by børns (this is my favourite version, but the regular version of this is great as well)
ahimsa by peter silberman 💗 (i saw this live in a church in london and it was so beautiful? also peter is such a kind person, i talked a little to him after the concert and he signed my record for me)
time traveler by rhain (she’s seriously underrated, i hope she puts out an album soon)
height:
165 cm / a little over 5′4″
last movie you watched:
spider-man: homecoming (it’s so good)
why did you choose your url:
it’s a double pun -- it’s a phonetic pun on ‘salazar’, but since the title ‘tsar’ means ‘caesar’ in russian, it also means caesar salad
what can i say, i’m a sucker for puns
do you have any other blogs:
you betcha. excepting my network blogs, my main blog @perfectchekov is also my star trek blog, @grejwaren is my raven cycle blog (i’m still cleaning it up but it’s been around for a while lmao), and @horacyantonczyk is my oc blog for the @triwizardtournamentoc
what did your last relationship teach you:
i've never been in a relationship
religious or spiritual:
both
average hours of sleep:
it changes? during the holidays i usually get around 8, but on school days it’s more like 4 or 5
(lesser known) favourite character:
since this is an hp blog, i’m going to do hp. i really like garrick ollivander
