Reading Frankenstein Be Like

[Dear My Living Dead] Full English Translation - AidaIro

Here we are! Our first release as a scanlation group of AidaIro’s brilliant debut one-shot, Dear My Living Dead. It’s kind of a predecessor of the main Toilet Bound Hanako-kun series, so it’s interesting to see the thematic links between the two works. Everyone in our team has been working very hard on it - I’m incredibly proud to see how far we’ve come! We hope you all enjoy reading DMLD and look forward to our future scanlations~ Wormokke signing off! ^^

TW abuse, murder, body horror

Full chapter under the cut.

Ravenclaw

Deaf Ravenclaw students learning to translate spells into sign language and going on to become pros at wandless magic because you can’t hold a wand while using sign language. They invent their own spells that involve really subtle hand movements - they look like they’re just twiddling their thumbs but they’re actually cursing your hair to fall out. They’re terrifying dueling partners in DADA. And they charmed the eagle statue outside the common room to have magical subtitles and respond to sign language.

The Ravenclaw Common Room

(As imagined by me)

Key Points:

*

*Controlled Mess

- Messy areas are better for creativity

- Clean areas are better for studying

- Solution?

Self cleaning clutter, most of the objects in the room, books vases, etc. have the ability to move around. They tiddy themselves up around kids who are cramming for an exam, and hang around students working on their sketchbooks.

*

*Take a Book Leave a Book Library:

- the shelves in the common room have everything from Mockingjay to Kingsley Shacklebolt’s autobiography.

-kids will leave behind their old textbooks for kids who can’t afford them

- there are also some full sketchbooks and aesthetic bullet journals just because kids wanted to share their work with everyone without looking like show offs

- and there are the more sketchy shelves full of folders of student’s essays and notes to be “referenced and repurposed”

- because Ravenclaws get that sometimes you will literally scream if you have to read one more word of that pretentious textbook

- or you hate arthrithmancy and don’t know why you took it and so you’re just going to borrow Jenny’s essay from six years ago and see what happens.

*

*Group Study Areas:

- larger desks and benches, both for a comfortable amount of space for studing alone, and to encorage collaboration.

- two heads are better than one

- but sometimes you just need a lot of space for your eight textbooks and seventeen reference photos and that’s fine too.

*

*Closed Off Beds:

- stained glass canopies that cast beautiful colored light, but that you can’t see into

- folding dividers instead of curtains that are enchanted to be sound proof when latched so that you can sing or scream your heart out

- some much needed privacy in the dorms

- sound proof walls are better than curtains (suck on that Gryffindor)

*

*Most Importantly:

INNOVATION!

-students want a ceiling like in the great hall? They figure the heck out of that enchantment.

- don’t like it anymore the next year? They undo that shit.

Bulletin boards filled with group study sessions

- a magical explosion from someone trying to make up a new spell happens about once a week

- all in all the Ravenclaw common room changes more drastically and more often than any other.

(Imma draw the other common rooms and dorms too, so if you’re a Hufflepuff, Slytherin, or Gryffindor with suggestions for what you would want in your dream common room let me know)

I want soft things. Soft things that are the same time dark. Like victorian dark, not morbid dark. I want to recieve mail. I want to wear soft socks. I want to live and work in a library all day. I want to know a library like the back of my hand. I want to be left alone but I also want to be noticed. I want to cram books in a bookshelf that cannot take more. Then because the bookshelf is full, I want to line books by the bed. Then the study table. Then the window. I want to walk in the mornings across mossy dewy cemeteries. I want my bag to be heavy with books. And a diary with messy writing. I want to press leaves between pages and find them years later. I want to wear flannel. And soft sweaters. I want to visit art galleries, museums. Antique stores. I want to fill my apartment with wooden furniture. I want plants. I want tea in the evening in my balcony as the sun sets and the city turns pink. I want to stand in the sun, taking in the morning light.

listening to pentagon’s violet is like crying into a lavender blanket as it rains outside

A heart’s a heavy burden to bear

you know when you’re all negative and you feel like nothing is gonna get better in your life and so you put your headphones on to distract yourself and you start listening to a song and so you start thinking about who the song belongs to and see that it’s the artist that you discovered when you needed someone the most. and that gives you nostalgia and you smile a little and feel so greatful for somehow having them, because they make you feel less lonely and sometimes they make you forget about those bad thoughts or problems in your life and it’s like you’re happy for a bit?

i think it’s one of the best feelings ever because someone who doesn’t even know you is able to make you feel so much only with a song or a video or a picture. it’s magical, it feels so unreal. you know what i mean?

watching spirited away for the first time is like… being trapped in the melancholic atmosphere…. the tragic isolation and madness of no face….. feeling the same horrified smallness chihiro does.. the hopelessness of losing her misunderstanding but loving parents…… haku’s quiet betrayal, and the relief of finding out he really was a friend… the curiousity of kamaji’s boiler room, or yubaba’s decorated office…. the hope for lin to make it out of the bath house one day, the wonder of the shaddowy figures on the bus……. the world makes you feel so small and part of a true and rich world that you can only give a brief, passing glance before you must part from it, never knowing but wishing to one day see it again

Ravenclaw Headcanon

Every once in a while, a Ravenclaw uses the same spell that’s in the Great Hall to make the ceiling in their common room mimic the weather outside. Most of them find it calming, especially when it’s raining.
