In any situation there are always a few different kinds of people:

1. The writing is on the wall. I don’t know what it says, but it’s there.

2. I’m gonna do everything I can to figure out what the writing on the wall says.

3. I won’t believe the writing’s there until someone holds up a flashlight.

4. I refuse to believe there’s any writing on that wall.

First day on the job.

Where in the world do I begin? Hello, my name is Jonathan Dart and, as of today, I am officially the IT guy at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. 

You read that correctly. It took them until 2016, but both students and staff alike have finally caved and demanded that their cell phones work on school grounds, and with that request they had to find a “muggle” (a term I’m quickly learning to detest) to install wifi and maintain any technology that functions on school grounds.

So let’s make this clear to any wizards, witches, or IT muggles allowed into their circle out there. I just entered this “wizarding world” 3 days ago. This is all entirely new to me. I’m writing this because I’ve learned through the grapevine that other magical schools are planning on making the same jump, and I’m hoping my experiences can help other outsiders down the road.

As its my first day I really don’t have much advice to give. All I can do is stand here and wonder to myself what the hell I was thinking. For the record, I’m typing this on my iPhone while I ride a magic staircase. They better have beer in this world because I’m going to need a drink tonight.

don’t you ever take a look at all the songs John Barrowman has sung/covered and think “he must even more disappointed by Ianto’s sudden death than we were/are (and that means something now doesn’t it), he’s basically been planning their wedding”??
no srsly, “A Thousand Years” obviously fits very well, but so does “Love Changes Everything” (SRSLY, just LISTEN to i!), and also kinda “You Raise Me Up” (plus free innuendo!! :D) or “I Owe It All to You” (though okay, not quite fitting for a wedding, but defs for Janto in general) and OF COURSE “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (which TOTES’d be something Jack’d sing even if SOLELY with the purpose to embarass Ianto before just about everyone).

Really though, don’t you think it’d be just the most gorgeous thing EVER if Jack sang (or maybe recorded, so that they could dance to it??) all these to Ianto at their wedding? 😀

John has said he thinks of “A Thousand Years” as their song. So I think you’re right. Besides, you know him and Gareth both ship Janto hard. They probably did plan their wedding down to the last detail. 

I Have the POWER

thesetupwizard:

When I was first starting out in this position I had easily become the target of many pranks from the students. Did you know there is a freaking spell that glues your feet to the ground? I know.

It took all of 2 days for them to quickly realize I literally have a switch that shuts off all the wifi access to the entire school. I don’t need forbidden curses. I have more power than any witch or wizard at this school could ever possibly imagine.

Cryptic Zoology

How are they deciding where to draw the line on which animals the muggles can know about and which are to be kept secret? Who decided that jackalopes are off limits but platypuses are a-ok?
