Mistrunner Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I know I'm a bit late, but Twi, for fantastic beasts of America left out of the book, there's the Thunderbird from Pacific northwestern Native American mythology. Bringer of storms. Super awesome. There's a whole lot of Native American mythology that could be incorporated into the Potterverse, really. It's a shame there aren't more books with them included.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I know I'm a bit late, but Twi, for fantastic beasts of America left out of the book, there's the Thunderbird from Pacific northwestern Native American mythology. Bringer of storms. Super awesome. There's a whole lot of Native American mythology that could be incorporated into the Potterverse, really. It's a shame there aren't more books with them included. I was going to add Thunderbirds to the list of American beasts. Here's what I have so far: Wand Core Beasts Beasts whose hair, feathers, etc. provide wand cores suitable for magic, comparable to the three substances (unicorn hair, dragon heartstring, and phoenix feather) used by Ollivander Sasquatch: THIS IS NOT A YETI, SCAMANDER. Did you even look at anything past the New York state line? Sasquatches, often called Bigfoot by Muggles, are tall, apelike creatures that walk upright. Native to Oregon, Washington, and the forests of California, Sasquatches are notably shy creatures, fond of watching Muggles and wizards alike from a distance. Many a Washington Muggle will recall a camping trip where they noticed a tall, apelike shadow peering out at them from behind a tree; or a supply that was misplaced; or giant footprints along the path. Sasquatches more often approach wizards, usually to present them with a gift of braided hair to be used as a wand core. Thunderbird: Opinions differ as to whether thunderbirds cause storms or are merely part of storms. To be sure, a Thunderbird won't be found in every storm, because not every storm possesses magical properties. But when a storm does bring odd phenomena, know that Thunderbirds were there, riding the winds and causing thunder with each flap of their wings. Their feathers are collected after such storms or—much more rarely—presented to a wand maker as a gift. Said wand maker must be wary not to provoke the Thunderbird's famous temper. Piasa bird: Europe has its native dragons; America has the Piasa bird. Little is known of this reclusive creature's behavior (because Twi hasn't thought about it much yet ) but like the Thunderbird, its feathers make powerful wand cores. Non-wand core beasts: Hodag Jersey devil Chupacabra Gowrow Jackalope I'll add others later, but that's what I have so far. 1

Zathoth Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I have Bands and I saw Paul Rudd beat Stephen Hawking in Quantum Chess. Today has been a good day so far. I don't understand this. It is funny anyway. 1
Citadel16 he/him Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Guys, these has to be among the coolest pictures I've ever seen (I'm a big avengers fan, so...Avengers stuff. I also am a big fan of this style of artwork and the medievalizing of modern things) Edited January 28, 2016 by warriormark16 6

Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Did they have to make Captain America look like the Black Knight, though? A very minor gripe though, those were pretty awesome.
ChickenPlague he/him Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Quicksilver and the 1st Hulk are my favorites.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 So there's a political compass quiz floating around online, that plots your political leanings on a four-quadrant graph. Don't tell my parents, but..... ....I got Left-Libertarian.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Do you have a link? Wouldn't mind seeing this. I won't tell. My results: https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=-5.75&soc=-5.85 The site itself is politicalcompass.org.
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I've been working with packing material today, and it's gotten everywhere. I'm getting my layers trimmed tonight after work. So now I get to explain to my stylist why I have fragments of styrofoam peanuts clinging to my hair. My results: https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=-5.75&soc=-5.85The site itself is politicalcompass.org. Your secret is safe with me. (also, more proof that we are brain-sisters)

(also, more proof that we are brain-sisters) I can help you make up a story about the Great Styrofoam Peanut War, if you want. This is getting eerie. Not bad, just eerie. 1
ThirdGen Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=-8.75&soc=-6.72 Yay!

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I got left wing conservative. Authoritarian or libertarian?
The Honor Spren she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Authoritarian or libertarian? Authoritarian.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Authoritarian. So you were left authoritarian or right authoritarian?
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I can help you make up a story about the Great Styrofoam Peanut War, if you want. This is getting eerie. Not bad, just eerie. There would be no winners in that war. None. Styrofoam peanuts are a plague upon the land. Hee! If it makes you feel better, I've taken that thing before and I think I'm a wee bit further left than you are. https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=-8.75&soc=-6.72 Yay! I am shocked - shocked, I say - that your dot isn't exactly on the lower left-hand corner. 1
Guest Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Well, here's mine. Not entirely a surprise; I've pretty much always thought of myself as centrist, slightly right. https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=0.75&soc=-1.9
Delightful Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 So apparently I'm left libertarian but my dot is closer to the axis that you guys. Huh.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Hmm...looks like I'm about the same as Twi. Which is interesting because the last time I took this test a few years back, I was almost at the center with a slight shift to the right.
