Hogwarts Legacy Oc - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
This was my reaction the first time I played this section. I'm a hater, what can I say? A justified hater, but a hater indeed.
Oh yeah, and sorry for not posting as much lately. Classes have finally kicked off and I keep forgetting I'm allowed to enjoy myself lol. At least I finally got the first chapter of fic done! I'm actually pretty into the title of it ngl.
It's here, if anyone wants it, though it's just the first chapter: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58980979/chapters/150356053
Hogwarts Legacy Weird Headcanons (Pt. 1)
If you guys like learning about the 1890s, which I'm assuming some if not all of you do because of our beloved interactive electronic experience, turn your attention to this very interesting info I found:
Self-defense classes were advertised in the 1890s to women due to recurring attacks on them from criminals (which also happened to be increasing in numbers at the same time. Fantastic.). These classes gained popularity in the 1900s and continued on from there.
One such class instructed women on how to maim, disable or even kill a two-legged brute with an umbrella.
"With the modern umbrella, which is not a slender wooden stick, but a wire rod, as deadly almost as a rapier, the girl who must rely upon her own arm to protect herself from attack in the street is armed with a weapon, the terrible nature of which few realize. But she must learn how to use it skillfully and quickly so as to put a quietus at once upon her opponent’s dream of easy conquest.
The classes at the physical culture establishment referred to are especially organized to make women competent to kill if necessary the man who attacks her while she is armed with an umbrella.
There is, it seems, such a thing as a solar plexus blow with an umbrella that will place the strongest man hors de combat. But the most deadly blow of all is one delivered at the neck of an opponent, driving the sharp steel ferrule straight for the spot an inch or so below the Adam’s apple.
The umbrella should be held in both hands and driven forward with the full weight of the body following it. If the blow lands on the right spot, that is on the neck, past below the apple, it is very likely to make the party attacked a subject for the morgue. The umbrella could be driven right into his neck with the force exerted by even a delicate girl if her weight follows the blow.
The girls who attend this new self-defense class are taught to jab at the eyes of a man who attacks them. All is fair in a case of this kind, for the man who attacks an unprotected woman in the street is deserving of no pity. The girls are also taught to defend themselves against the attacks of two men who come at them simultaneously, stabbing at the face or neck of the nearest and giving the other a back handled blow with the butt. Apart from the usefulness of teaching a girl how to take care of herself if attacked, it may be said that the students derive great benefit from the exercise they go through in the daily drill."
So, if any of your fine OCs are feeling pressed, perhaps have them consider taking up the umbrella.
Pretty neat stuff.

Idk what's going on with posting today, but here we go again -
The very first prompt for MCtober 2024!
This was so much fun, guys. I love doing projects like this, especially when I get to flaunt my OCs lol. Next prompt is coming soon (like tomorrow-soon)!
Alrighty, let's see if I can actually post now lol.
The very first prompt for @lamieboo's #MCtober2024!
This was so much fun, guys. I love doing projects like this, especially when I get to flaunt my OCs lol. Next prompt is coming soon (like tomorrow-soon)!
And here's the second and third prompts from this week for #MCtober. Took longer than I thought it would to finish this but I'm actually pretty satisfied with how it turned out.
---
Favorite class: Charms! Transfiguration and History of Magic are a close second and third. I figure Jeanne likes the practical lessons and how useful the material is on the reg. I mean, accio and levitation charms alone would be revolutionary for someone who's never been able to use magic before. Professor Ronen definitely makes the class a million times more entertaining too.
Least favorite class: Divination. Jeanne sucks at it and she's not particularly interested in how awful her future is anyway. However, it becomes much more bearable thanks to Professor Onai.
Favorite teacher: Sharp. He reminds her of her dad, in both good ways and bad lol. His lectures make her feel right at home.
---
Hobbies and clubs: Dueling club!!! And she'd probably join chior if she had the time as well. She learned how to sing when she was in regular muggle school (her mother insisted she should), and she actually quite enjoys it.
Saw this and thought of my dear Jeanne.
Remember everyone: All you have to do to get a guy is kick his ass in a fight and then endlessly tease him about it. It's science.
I made this 3 AM.
MCtober Week 2, babyyyyy! These past couple weeks have been insanity so not a lot of art- making has been happening, but the madness has passed and now I may rest. Here's prompts 1 and 2 for this week:
Study habits: Jeanne will read the assigned test and take notes. Then never look at them again. She usually remembers the important stuff... usually... if it's interesting. It used to drive her muggle teachers insane, but magical folk seem to be much more tolerant of it for some reason.
In Magical History: I will take this opportunity to quote my own fanfic here because no one can stop me:
Jeanne quickly understood why everyone had been so unhappy about having History of Magic in the mornings. The classroom was obscenely warm, and… damn, was Professor Binns dry. However, what Professor Binns lacked in enthusiasm, he made up for in wonderfully in-depth knowledge.
After an hour of doing her best not to fall asleep for fear of missing the very interesting information Professor Binns was droning about, they were released and off to Charms.
She tries very hard to stay awake. She really does. But holy moley, is it difficult. She enjoys history as a subject, especially that of the magical world (it's far more interesting and slightly less depressing than muggle world history in her opinion), so, while it's an uphill battle, it's one she's willing to fight. Assuming she hasn't spent the night fighting statues or nearly getting killed by giant spiders.
I realized this didn't actually publish and was stuck as a draft for like 4 days so - MCtober week 2 prompt 3 (late edition!).
Jeanne and Sebastian! It doesn't take long for these two to warm up to each other and create a pretty close bond. I figure Seb found her incredibly interesting after she kicked his butt in their first duel and, much to her annoyance, Jeanne found him entertaining and charming. Thus the abomination of their friendship came to be! Filled to the brim with sarcasm and chaos! Hopefully nothing terrible will happen as a result and we'll all be happy in the end!
MCtober week 3 prompts babyyyyy

Jeanne's Amortentia would probably smell like leather, her mother's pie, outside right before it rains (you know what I mean), old books, Butterbeer, and the fiery scent that fills the air after casting confringo (which, of course, reminds her of a certain someone).
Jeanne's eventual love interest originally smelled old books, fresh bread, wet stone (since it reminds him of Hogwarts), and melting chocolate. Later on, he'll get whiffs of the blasting curse himself as well as wild flowers, tweed, and mint.

Alternate house: Gryffindor! This version of Jeanne isn't too far off from the original. She's still blunt and smart; she's just a little more prone to brute force and far more stubborn, if you can believe it.

I'm calling him John Watson for the simple reason that I think it's funny. And it's the closest name to Jeanne other than just... Jean.
