Dragonship and hammership (Jim Holloway, from “Awash in Phlogiston” by Jeff Grubb, Dragon 153, TSR, January 1990)
DM tip: If your world includes flying ships, magic carpets, flying brooms, rings of flying, levitation potions, and NPCs mounted on pegasi, griffons, and dragons, then the PCs’ first impression of a big city will be focused on all the activity in the air above. The most important government, business, religious, and magical locales may be hubs for this traffic. Also take a tip from Terry Pratchett – unless the magic college is completely invisible, it may be the most noticeable building as flames occasionally belch out of the windows and lightning arcs from the rooftops, and if you watch long enough the tallest tower randomly vanishes and reappears.
So one of the newspaper clippings from the Fantastic Beasts movie is about James Potter’s dad and why are we not running with this already?
Lily: Wait, so Fleamont Potter, the internationally renowned cosmetic potioneer, is your father?
James: *proudly* The very same.
Lily: Wow. You’d think you’d be better at Potions.
Sirius: You’d think he’d have better hair.
The boy has never had anything nice and the second he gets his hands on some money he tries to buy a fucking solid gold cauldron like started from the bottom now we here I love him so much
Honestly Hagrid saved Harry from so much embarrassment. Can you imagine him turning up to his first potions lesson with a fucking solid gold cauldron??? Like Snape already hated Harry think about what he would have said if Harry just plonked that on his desk
I think he would have said fuck it to his promise to dumbledore and murdered Harry on the spot
AGAIN WITH THE SOLID GOLD POSSESSIONS HARRY. I’m surprised he never replaced his glasses with solid gold ones the boy clearly has a taste for the finer things in life. Or when he had his bones removed by Lockhart in second year, he probably had to stop himself from asking Pomfrey to just fill his arm up with gold instead of bones.
NO WONDER HE CAN SEE THE FUCKIN SNITCH SO WELL HE’S ON THE HUNT FOR GOLD
This is the link from the video. It’s important that we try to take action. Don’t buy chocolate that may be connected with slavery. In the link there’s also information about slavery free chocolate.
On chocolate, coffee, tea, other products coming from the global south: if you can afford it, buy only products with some kind of a certificate that demonstrates the product has been ethically produced (and this has been verified by an outside agency), such as the Fairtrade, UTZ or Rainforest Alliance certificate.
But also beware that some producers have made up their own certificates, with no outside oversight. These essentially fake certificates include Cocoa Life, the certificate invented by Mondelez – one of the companies listed behind the link for using slave labour, who stopped using Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa and switched to their own certificate instead.
here’s a list of companies who use fair trade chocolate:
- Clif Bar
- Tony’s Chocoloneley
- Ben & Jerry’s
- Aloha Feels
- Newman’s Own Organics
- The Endangered Species Chocolate
- Dagoba Organic Chocolate
- Starbucks
- Aldi’s brand
- Green & Blacks
- Sappho Chocolates
- Larabar
- more info here
- full list of ethical companies in the carrd above
and a list of companies who knowingly use slave labor to make their chocolate:
- Hershey’s
- Mars (M&M, Snickers, Dove, etc)
- Mondelez (part of Kraft) (Cadbury, Toblerone, Oreos)
- Nestle
- Lindt
- Godiva
- Ghirardelli
This variant of the Goldentail / Bastard Moray is known as the Banana Eel due to its colouration and markings resembling a ripe banana.

sorry the what? the what moray
scientist: let’s call you the… goldentail
banana eel: [bites scientist]
scientist: Okay motherfucker, new idea:
Every time this post comes around I’m too busy to tell this story so I’m gonna do it now: when I learned to scuba dive, there was a dude in my dive group named Dumbass Dave who was always being relentlessly roasted by his buddies because when they went to the Great Barrier Reef he brought a baggie of hard boiled egg down with him because he wanted to find a moray eel and feed it and pet it
Well he found a moray and attempted to hand feed it, and it snapped up the egg and bit the shit out of his right hand in the process and the dive had to be halted so the blood wouldn’t attract sharks. But was this enough punishment for Dumbass Dave? No it was not, because he had a Plan
Dumbass Dave’s plan turned out to be a chainmail glove. Where he obtained it has been lost to time, but he put it on his right, injured hand and down they went, whereupon Dave found himself another moray and tried to feed it some hardboiled egg
With his left hand
And yes it did bite the shit out of him and they did have to cancel the dive, again
So I guess the moral of that story is maybe eels aren’t bastards, maybe they just meet a lot of people like Dave
I reminded my scuba instructor of this story and he wanted me to amend the post to let everyone know that it was the same eel who bit Dumbass Dave both times
