So, really funny story, this flannel used to belong to my older brother, whom i haven’t seen for a few years, but as of late he has started to use some pretty harsh words to describe me and my decisions.
I’ve seen the first panel before and had no idea there was more.. This is all too sweet for me and it almost makes me sad because of me not being able to experience love and support like that. I almost never reblog things because I want this blog to be about me, but I feel like it’s just so important and dear to me that it deserves to be immortalized on my blog 👭💞
Programmable LED fans are the latest thing in cosplay technology. The price of admission is pretty steep though. At $400 per fan, it will cost a pretty penny to become a proper wizard.
If you are like Wong and believe attachment to the material is detachment from the spiritual, buying these would contradict that philosophy. A cosplaying conundrum to be sure. Keep saving up those rupees I guess.
Buckbeak is a
hippogriff who was sentenced to death for hurting Draco during Hagrid’s first Care of Magical Creatures class. Harry and Hermione figure out a way to save both him and Sirius, which also provides Sirius a way to stay on the run from the Ministry. He eventually comes back to Hogwarts’ herd, under the name Witherwings.
Buckbeak is composed of “buck” (a horse’s form of defense) and “beak” (part of a bird’s anatomy, which can be used to attack), relating to both halves of a hippogriff‘s body (specifically dangerous parts), as well as making a nice alliteration.
His alias Witherwings, also alliterative, refers to his ability to fly, with maybe a bit of weariness.
Bonus: Rowling’s scrapbook contained a list of names for hippogriffs: Stormswift; Hothoof; Fleetwing. (source) Those could either be alternative names for Buckbeak during development, or names for other hippogriffs in the herd. The three of these relate to either flying, danger, or horses, and two of them are alliterative.
someone asked me to do a little thing on how i draw arms?? i. should have thought about the writing more, i’ll do that if i ever do one on hands. basically, i just keep a few anatomy tips in my head and then do whatever the character needs most!!
sorry if this isn’t too helpful, but it WAS fun. i love drawing arms+hands
