AU where McGonagall puts her foot down and says ‘you’re going to give Lily and James and Sirius and Remus and Peter’s boy to WHO?’ and proceeds to destroy every argument Albus has by saying ‘you don’t want him raised so he’s revered and pampered? Fine, give him to me, I’ll raise him.’
She would be strict and firm but Harry would never doubt that he was loved and important; just no more than anyone else.

In wake of (SPOILERS!!) galra!Keith being a real thing, and the incredibly nice non-racist attitude Keith promotes towards galra because of it, I'd like to propose some hcs of activist galra Keith. Despite the half comedic and half angsty tone of Keith's interactions with the other Paladins and Alteans, he does eventually (with patience Keith never knew he had) wear the other Paladins and Alteans down to a less racist outlook. They don't just accept Keith but also accept other galra can be good. Galra prisoners of Voltron learn that they can be treated fairly in their presence, but they don't take it for granted or use it to help themselves as they realise how much that red paladin is fighting for them. They learn to respect the red paladin for his strength and fairness, as well as the other Paladins for showing mercy when they hadn't needed to. Cue prisoners becoming more sympathetic towards Voltron, and eventually swearing themselves to the new red Voltron leader. The word spreads and people learn that not all galra are bad from the mouth of the galra's sworn enemies, and this change in outlook begins to sway reluctant members of the galra empire to voltron's favour as they realise they have someone to turn to in order to escape the horrors of others of their race. Basically in S3 I wanna see Zarkon not only fighting physically with Voltron, but also members of his own race who stand against him, swayed by the powerful and fair presence of the red paladin.
I am 100% convinced that Hiro is a hardcore FOB fan and no one can convince me otherwise
So I was chatting with machina-rex (as we do) and what was supposed to be a really sad headcanon back-and-forth actually evolved into something really cute. BEHOLD!
We figured that after Tadashi’s death, the cafe regulars probably brought Aunt Cass flowers. She’s been keeping the cafe kind of dark and gloomy for a while, because she’s in mourning, but her customers decide to brighten the place up a bit. So they bring flowers.
And Aunt Cass then goes and takes those flowers to Tadashi’s grave to decorate it and to show him how much everyone misses him at the cafe. He ends up with the most lavishly decorated grave in the cemetery (which helps Hiro to find the right grave through his tears whenever he comes to visit)
(This is the part where it should have stayed sad but didn’t :P)
But there’s just SO MANY FLOWERS that Hiro can’t possibly visit Tadashi withought getting covered in petals, no matter how much he tries to avoid it. He always comes home smelling like a garden instead of like graves after a trip, which actually helps him deal a bit.
And then one day Ghost!Tadashi starts making flower crowns out of all of his flowers and leaving them on his grave for Hiro to find. He didn’t know how to make them before he died, but the ghost of a little girl who died in the late 1900s taught him. She was his first ghost friend. Eventually a lot of ghosts come by and start helping out, because there’s not enough time for Tadashi to put into crowns all by himself in time for Hiro’s and other people’s visits. And when there’s too many flowers, they start leaving the extra flower crowns on the other graves too, especially the ones that haven’t had visitors in YEARS. The ghosts of these graves, who haven’t had flowers in a really long time, are very happy to see them.
There are so many ghosts constantly visiting Tadashi’s grave to help with his flowers that they end up creating ghost parties late into the night. Complete with ghost fires burning and flashing through the night like party lights.
Naturally, this freaks the gravekeepers out because, hello, mysterious flickering lights in a graveyard? Flowers moving on their own and weaving themselves? But over time they realize that they’re just really pretty lights dancing and really pretty flowers, so they get used to it. Maybe even enjoy it a bit. They tell their friends about it, chuckling about the strange stuff they get up to while at their job.
Only their friends tell THEIR friends, and sooner or later it becomes this little urban legend for the city. About this one SUPER HAUNTED gravesite, but with a very benign haunting. People come from all over the world to see it, even long after Aunt Cass and Hiro have passed away too, long after Tadashi’s name has worn off of the stone. But they all bring flowers so even though he has no family left to visit him, he still always has the prettiest grave.
no but bi harry deliberately fucking with ron like they’re at christmas dinner or w/e and harry just goes “you know ron i’m in love with your sister and everything but if bill was single…goddamn. i’d go there”
bill winks across the table at harry

Jester has Two hands and will not be stopped
Forget about the tangled web of love that stretches between the M9 (barring Caduceus our aroace king of staying out of drama), I would love if the love triangle between Fjord, Jester and Caleb just somehow naturally fell into a little triad all on its own.
Like no dramatic love confessions, they do that shit constantly with each other in secret little ways, but just Jester coming home to her mother like
Jester: mama I want to introduce my partners to you
The Ruby: ah yes that handsome orc boy that you kept going on about, he was so–
The Ruby: wait, partners???
Jester: lmao yeah I have Fjord, who rejected an eldritch monster he was accidentally raising to get close with Mother Nature herself, but that hobo wizard who eventually cleaned himself up and became one of the most powerful casters around is also my bf.
The Ruby, the actual sex god on this plane of existence and all others: hell yeah my daughter deserves the best, get ‘em my baby girl.
The dynamics of it are so funny as well. Like, Caleb is a highly respected wizard now under the tutelage of several powerful figures, so any time he goes to some sort of elbow-rubbing-fancy-pancy wizard event he of course brings his beaus.
And people are like??? “Ah yes, members of the iconic and world-saving group you are part of Mr Widogast, they must be of such high pedigree.”
And then someone recognises Fjord as Captain Tusktooth who had some sort of fake accent going on for years at a time (and didn’t he sleep with that Captain lady who was horny for water or something??? And then get her killed by the pirate king? There was something about a forbidden eldritch god?) and is praying that Mr Widogast’s other partner is normal–
but the first thing that Jester tells anyone is: “have y’all heard about my mother, best lay in the land? I am the daughter of the greastest sexer around and my childhood imaginary friend is my personal god, anyway how are you?”
Even better, out of the three, the tiny blue tiefling is the only one who can pick up and hoist their partners around, making the comical sight of long-cat and long-suffering Caleb being slung bonelessly over one shoulder, while a blushing Fjord is held like a football under the other as Jester parades them down the street in her cute frilly dresses.
Fucking FjordxJesterxCaleb is where the good shit is at wake up sheeple
Mihashi in 1st ep of Big Windup!: cries, calls himself a shitty pitcher, stutters over his own name, gets the fear of god placed into him by a woman squeezing oranges, cries, finds his soulmate/catcher, cries again
Sawamura in 1st ep of Ace of Diamond: cries, bitchslaps 12 students and has the audacity to slap the grown-ass umpire as well, faces off against the strongest looking motherfucker and tries to pick a fight despite being a guest, meets his soulmate/catcher, cries some more
In summary: to be a pitcher you gotta have some good-ass tear ducts
If you ever feel embarrassed about yourself, please know I was clearing out stuff from my phone today and I found an old alarm that I had once used for school titled, "FRICKITY FRACKLES TIME TO FUCK JENSEN ACKLES", and I am so glad I'm past that point in my life.
