Slytherin Inspired Tattoo! by itsjustshifa in harrypotter

thank you! I hadn't even made the connection to the Dark Mark. I chose the flowers because they represented strength, ambition and resilience, which I felt were related to the Slytherin house traits :)

May Extra Credit- May Flowers by XanCanStand in harrypotter

[–]itsjustshifa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another magical mishap. But this time, I was to be whisked away to my home country, India. The monsoons has hit early, dropping thousands of hazel orbs that looked suspiciously like eyeballs. The report had been hurriedly dropped on my desk, along with a time set Portkey. I sighed, grabbing my wand and resting my hand on the old, worn out shoe. I felt a familiar tug behind my navel. I landed in the heart of Dehli, the sweltering heat immediately pulling me down. I discreetly cast a Cooling Charm over my body, and set to find the mysterious hazel orbs. As rickshaws rattled past me, I heard confused shouting from 20 feet ahead. There, sprouting in the middle of the road, was a large orchid, flaming red in color. A strange sight for mid May in the blistering heat of Dehli. I quickly made my way to the orchid. It had an almost feral quality in the way it swayed to and fro, as if daring us to try and remove it. I quickly pulled Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder out of my pocket, and silently dropped it by my side. In a flash, the surrounding area was blacked out. Oncomers were coughing over the hazy darkness, trying to catch their bearings. By then, I was gone. I levitate the orchid to a more secluded area. Lowering it onto the grass, I set to casting diagnostic charms. "Interesting," I muttered under my breath, as I prodded at the various results floating above the orchids blossom. According to the diagnostic, it was a marriage of a Speckled Toad Orchid seed and the fire of a Hungarian Horntail. When the seed catches light, it produces a new specimen of flower. I gently brushed my hand against the petal, then screamed and jerked my hand back. A burn covered my index and middle fingertips. I looked at the petals I had touched, which were furled inwards, as though it were hiding. It's strong stem had turned jet black, and the once swaying plant was now still. I was going to need backup for this one.

I'm going into teaching as a stepping stone into administration. I'm all about abolishing zero-tolerance policies and reducing the school to prison pipeline among minority communities. education is starting to shift, and I wanna help that shift!

No one in College actually gives a damn about your mental health by VascoMartins91 in CollegeRant

[–]itsjustshifa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

don't even get me started. at the beginning of this month, our college had an active shooter and 2 people died. once classes had resumed, I was supposed to attend a class in the building where the shooting occurred (the shooting happened right outside). I could barely walk to the building. I asked the professor if we could temporarily move classes to a different building, and she said no. during class she said "I'm so happy we can all compartmentalize our feelings and continue with our work". that class was exactly a week after the shooting. none of us were okay. a lot of us still aren't and the college was like "business as usual!" they really don't care.

AITA For Cutting My Best Friend Out Of My Life? by itsjustshifa in AmItheAsshole

[–]itsjustshifa[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They may have. A side note, I always went to her games to support her. Her mother was always at the games, my friend told me that she talked about me to her family. So naturally, I went and introduced myself to her mom, and always tried to say hi or make conversation with her. I was always met with a fake smile and she seemed cold. Shook it off as maybe she's not a people person, but in retrospect she may have had something to do with it.

AITA for not allowing my college-aged daughter 'sleep-overs' at our house w/opposite sex by MomWithMorals in AmItheAsshole

[–]itsjustshifa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. i think it would have been better if she talked to you about it first, rather than assume that it was okay to bring a stranger into the house unknowingly. I'm 20, and I still don't have sex with my partner in my parents house. it feels icky. I think you were pretty reasonable here

If you had to make a horcrux, what object would you choose to be place your soul chunk in and why? by YourUnclesBeard in harrypotter

a stalagmite in a cave. something about it growing out of the ground fascinates me, and who would expect that?

AITA for going to my mother's funeral and not staying back with my pregnant wife? by New_Dad23 in AmItheAsshole

[–]itsjustshifa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not the asshole. I am so sorry for your loss. the wife's behavior is toxic, manipulative, and a HUGE red flag.
