And what about Durmstrang being an all boys school? ‘Cause those staff moves were awesome and I’m still quite pissed off that apparently feminine people can’t do cool rhytmic staffbanging. (Also holy shit I now realize it was phallic.)
Was it.

snazzycookies:
Rebloggable version, as requested by davrosbro. :)
Oooh! Yes! I love kisses. Kisses are where it all starts ;).

catmachine:
You only need to look back to the 1984 Doctor Who story The Caves of Androzani to see the inspiration for the current government’s unpaid “work experience” scheme:
MORGUS: The stews of the city are full of such unemployed riff-raff.
PRESIDENT: Most of them unemployed, Trau Morgus, because you have closed so many plants. It’s caused great unrest.
MORGUS: Easily settled. Those...

It’s been bugging me for so long that, after some discussion about despotic admissions rules at US “women’s colleges” last week, i thought i’d just write to them and find out myself.
Cambridge has three...
