I would kind of love to see the Slytherins (like Barty and Regs dorm) in first year 😂

((OOC: Well, not to self-promote but I will anyway, my other blog @regulusblacksdiary is following the Reg from this blog from when he was a child all the way up to… well… now lol.  So you’ll get to see it from his point of view when he starts Hogwarts and I promise it’ll be so smol hfhd))

Art by @wizardnem, SlySquad drabbles part 15, that you’ve all been waiting for! (and if you didn’t, you should have, because this is the last, and the best one) : THE SNAKE MASQUERADE

(there is a cut)

The NEWTS had been passed, they had celebrated Draco’s birthday, and now the much expected Snake Masquerade was upon them. Pansy and Draco had been dancing around in the common room all afternoon while they were getting ready. Draco was very dashing in his formal wear, his hair slicked back. Theo didn’t say it, but he thought Lucius would have been very proud to see him like that. Or he would have raged up a storm about his choice of date.

For now, though, Draco was messing around with the Barklay the Slyhterin Skeleton. (No one knew how it had ended up in their common room, it had appeared somewhere around their fifth year and had never left. Someone had named it Barclay, and it had become their secret mascot.)

“That’s a fire hazard, Draco,” Daphne Greengrass commented, adjusting her date’s, Millicent Bulstrode, corsage.

Draco shrugged and waltz up to Theo. “I like your mask. It suits you,” he commented.

Theo smiled and together they headed out to the Great Hall.

The continually inspiring magic of HRT. Live your truth!

is that last comic you posted about a suicide note? I'm confused

One of the rituals from Victorian era’s cult of mourning: if a close loved one died, you’d order yourself some black bordered calling cards, note paper and envelopes. Your border’s width would be determined by how close you were to the deceased, how long you’d been in mourning, and how ostentatious you wanted to be.

Even newspapers followed this etiquette:

Vancouver Daily World, British Columbia, January 22, 1901:

The Guthrie Daily Leader, Oklahoma, September 14, 1901:

Anyway, to answer your question, I doubt it. Unless the guy’s brother was a big stickler for etiquette, pretty full of himself, or had a dark sense of humor, I don’t think you’d mail your own suicide note in a mourning envelope. And in that case it wouldn’t be a very funny comic.

(As an aside, in some places you couldn’t actually mail letters with full mourning borders. They were said to be easier to tamper with; edges could be cut and then coloured with dark ink, so ones that were tinted rather than full-black were also sold).

I’m pretty sure the joke is just that the guy isn’t very smart, and thinks the black border + the brother’s handwriting means his brother must be dead. Really his brother is just in mourning for someone else.

(Talking about ops opinion)   While this is very true. It's also very sad to still see a vast majority of opinions like this on topics because, while its very obvious they won’t go away they should a least be the minority of opinions on topics like these. Weather or not people realize it or not opinions like this kill people (Mostly women) because its telling people they don’t deserve brakes, or sick days etc. ect.. It’s also telling women that there hideous and ugly without makeup and that they have to wear makeup.

“Nobody should be required to use beauty products to look professional!” Ok, Susan. Next time you go to a restaurant you tell me you don’t mind that the waitress who has the flu serves you food while looking into her sweaty face and at her red, swollen nose. Next time you go in for surgery have a talk with the surgeon who has bags under their eyes and looks like they’re on hardcore drugs due to their dry, split lips and irritated skin and tell me it’s not bothering you. Let’s be honest - none of us wants these illusions destroyed.
