“I would keep a close eye on your dog if I was you,” Tethys remarked as she noticed the young woman being accompanied a little dog one of her favorite beaches. “Some of her kids are running around and they tend to have a habit of trying to bring back pets that don’t belong them home. And then I turn into the bad guy for saying they can’t keep them. Kids...they think if they look at something long enough, it’s theirs.”
Kharon comes to a pause, knelt down to run fingers up under a trampled flower to fix it up. A low sigh leaving him as goosebumps rise up over his spine and long the back of his neck. Amber hues flicker up as he slowly moves to stand, looking around for who might be close enough to make the Ferrymen’s body react in such a way,
”Hello....?”

CARMILLA! @psitthur
"Y’know -- I could be enticed to fix more than just these shelves if I had some caloric incentive, for example.” His toolbox sat open on the floor at his feet, and he kneeled down in front of it to root through and find the right drill bits for the size of holes he had in mind. Tapping it against his palm, he rose up again, looking towards the wall. “Who tried to put them up anyways?”
@psitthur said : aid
aid help them with a task.
Ichabod bent down and picked up a few books from the floor. “Thank you for your help.” He smiled as he looked through the books in his hand and sorted them. “When I found this little place it was a mess. A lot of the books were ruined. Your help is much appreciated. I’m hoping to get the place open soon.”

he slips into the shop quietly , wearing his long-sleeved hoodie all the way up to the bottom of his chin . the shop had drawn his eye immediately , and he finds himself weaving through the store to find the counter . his gaze wanders : it’s been a while since he’s been in an eco-friendly store like this . but he blinks , and refocuses . ❝ hi . do you sell , uh sea-friendly stuff ? ❞ nailed it . totally normal .
"Ah, hello again! I didn’t know, um... what you might eat but I brought some baked goods!” He offer in a nervous tone, holding up the box of donuts, croissants, danishes and a few other things. Since he had enjoyed their chat before, he figured he could return and maybe they could talk again.

do you think jk rowling purposely kept hermione's skin tone ambiguous so the kids reading the books can relate to her/want to be like her?? cause i remember in an interview jk rowling said she wanted kids to have a rolemodel like hermione (smart, brave) and be hermione, rather than someone like pansy (rude, full of themselves).
I think that’s entirely possible! It’s hard to say what JK really intended (if it was something that slipped her mind or something intentional) but either way it did help make Hermione that kind of role model (mind you, Hermione hasn’t always been perfect). To be able to connect with her and imagine her as looking like you, or me, or her is really wonderful and amazing.
I will say, considering JK’s treatment of other minorities, Cho Chang’s name for one thing, and the Ilvermorny houses, it’s hard to guess what was going through her mind with Hermione’s ambiguous race/skin color, but I do believe she probably, at least in her own mind, imagined Hermione white, if for no reason other than that relatability to herself. After all, she’s white, so it’s not difficult and doesn’t require research to write from her own perspective... but that’s just my take!
