Fire bending comes from the stomach. Alchohol when purified is flammable. If Toph can bend metal due to it just being a very purified earth,Zuko can use alchohol as a fire flower

The Professors. (aka I do have more than one fandom… sometimes)
Draco and Harry in the future AU where they are the Potions and Defense professors at Hogwarts. (Whether you ship them or not I do enjoy them having a future tempestuous friendship!)
Harry’s design is inspired by the idea that his adult look evolved from “carbon copy James” and take into account the other people who helped define him (Sirius and Dumbledore specifically. He has quite a few questionably coloured robes in his wardrobe.)
Also the idea is that he looks very unimpressive. Anyone who meets him expects an image of a powerful wizard and end up with “that’s Harry Potter? no way!?” vibes. His students like him because he’s that cool professor, not because they are particularly impressed that he’s Harry Potter. Bonus he very much enjoys driving Professor Malfoy insane with his extremely casual appearance, often with additional Weasley jumper.
All in all he looks like he got dragged through a hedge backwards. If his hair was unruly before it just gets worse as it goes.
Draco however is never seen with a hair out of place. He’s a professional don’t you know? Unlike some professors.
Ravenclaws probably have, overall as a house, the worst grades in the school tbh.
i feel as though ravenclaws would have driven Hermione Granger up a wall they neVER DO THEIR HOMEWORK??? I though this was the smart house???? and Ravenclaws are like yeah kay but GET THIS DID YOU KNOW AN ANIMAGUS - but potions homework - who even CARES about potions right now I’m researching this COOLER THING uncouple the idea of ‘smart’ with the idea of ‘good at school’
I bet for the professors teaching Ravenclaws is like herding cats away from empty boxes.
Older Ravenclaws have finely honed the art of asking just the right argumentative questions to direct their teacher onto an entire-class-session-long tangent about something entirely irrelevant to the course material.
Can you imagine Ravenclaws trying to overhaul the entire school system with Muggle ideas. Trying to figure out how to best teach people, more concerned with how people learn than what they’re learning.
“Why do we force people to learn things they aren’t interested in, we should create our own curriculum.”
“We should figure out everyone’s learning styles.”
“We need smaller class sizes.”
“No, no, wait, guys, what if we eliminated grades entirely.”
Yeah, Ravenclaws would drive Hermione up the wall.
“Fire the whole staff and start over.”
“Present more opportunities for seventh-year independent research!”
“Why hasn’t anyone made magically modified calculators yet?”
“Why are we still using quills and parchment when pencils exist? Please explain.”
“I don’t want to enter the work force directly after school, what are my options for higher education? Is there magical university?”
“I don’t feel confident in my professor’s qualifications because she’s teaching me astrology but doesn’t know any facts about space beyond about the year 1764.”
Things that should exist:
~magic
~time travel
~fictional characters
~superpowers
~talking pets
~magic potions
Things that shouldn’t exist:
~supremacy
~rape
~murder
~sexism
~homophobia
~racism
It is inspiring to know that over 1,000 people believe in the same ideology.
I never understood in Harry Potter how Harry was so passive and fell asleep in class I mean sure maybe Ron cause he’s grown up with it but living 11 years of your life in muggle school and then getting to learn about THE HISTORY OF MAGIC AND MAKE POTIONS AND SPELLS AND HOW IS THAT POSSIBLY BORING HARRY YOU FRUSTuRATE ME
This explains Hermione.
harry potter au where the potions master is gordon ramsey
he’d be much nicer to them than fucking snape bc gordon ramsey is actually nice to children
but he’s fucking intense with he 7th years. Like 1st year he’s totally Master Chief Junoir with them all, but slowly things change. The kids don’t really notice it tho. None of them realize that their potions master not only expects more of them but the way he teaches them changes too. They don’t notice that the Ramsey who would neal next to your station in class and gently encourage is gone until he is most certainly gone. The final few 7th years who actually want or need to take potions fill up the classroom and are met with stone cold Hell’s Kitchen Gordon Ramsy. They are not shocked but they sure as all fuck not ready for it
when gordon ramsey went to hogwarts (because come on, we all know that he’s a wizard) he was a hatstall. it took the hat nearly ten minutes to decide where to sort him. he had the ambition and cunning of a slytherin, but in the end the hat sorted him into hufflepuff.
despite being a rather friendly bunch, the other hufflepuffs had a hard time warming up to gordon. he had quite a temper - once during potions his partner didn’t properly chop an ingredient and he screamed at him in the middle of class. after that, most of the people in his year stayed away from him. all of the hufflepuffs dreaded partner assignments because there was a chance they could be paired with him.
one day during a partners charms class, the girl paired up with gordon can’t get the spell right at all. she keeps apologizing and messing up, saying that charms is her worst subject and getting ready to give up. the hufflepuffs keep glancing over at them, bracing themselves for another one of his tirades. they don’t expect what happens next.
gordon hugs her and promises that everything will be alright, that it’s a really hard spell but he’ll help her figure it out. he sits down with her and they read the textbook, he reminds her to breathe and relax as they practice, and by the end of the class she does the spell better than anyone else. he smiles and congratulates hee, and offers to go over the charms homework with her that night.
everyone’s attitude toward gordon changes. they realize that he wants his classmates - his friends - to succeed, and only gets angry when they refuse to ask for help and act like they know everything just to fuck up. justice, loyalty, caring, hard work; what’s more hufflepuff than that?
Move in together. Problem solved
That witch hasn’t said a single word but im calling it now - Himbo.
Also yes move in together, platonically or romantically doesn’t matter, I’d watch the hell out of that wlw mlm solidarity fantasy sitcom anyway.
A fair maiden knocks on the goth lady’s door and says she’s here to find love.
The goth sighs, points across the road and says, “Witch is over there. He doesn’t do love potions because consent but he might be able to make you prettier, although 90% of the time it turns out the spell didn’t do anything but make you more confident.”
The maiden blushes and sheepishly explains that she knows he’s the witch, she just talked to him and he sent her over here.
Goth looks over her shoulder to see the himbo witch standing outside his house giving her a grin and a double thumbs up.
YES TO ALL OF THIS
I support all of this
