Happy Escapril! I hope everyone’s having a good day so far. I’m dropping my first poem with @adventurerswritingguild second prompt from their list! Day two is “The Internet.” I really channeled this song for inspiration. It won’t read the same, the message is ultimately what I’m going for here.
Song Playing:
Here’s my poem with Alt Text provided. I hope you enjoy.
Oh snap! I maxed out tumblr tags for the first time! That’s a new record. 30 max. Huh. Good to know.
Update with Spoken Word
[#escapril Spoken Word] “A 25 year old Codger’s Cloud Rant” by CJOAT for AWG Shoutout @boburnham
It is April 10. I have another update. It took awhile. I have been getting worsening nightmares as of recent. So I haven’t been sleeping well. Rather at all.
That talk is not for this post.
I made a graphic for “A 25 Year Old Codger’s Cloud Rant.” I made it cyber themed based on the internet. It was hard to make due to the effect on my eyes but…this is an eyestrain warning. Be warned, as I cannot add the eyestrain tag when there’s 30 already.
I hope everyone has a good day, whenever you see this. You can do this. I’m proud of you.

Think I finally figured what was holding me back about chapter 6!
IT'S DUMBLEDORE!!!!! (it's always this asshole)!!!!
REASONS...doubts..word vomiting rambling
It was a combination of things. I felt Voldemort's overall agenga, and acts in the books were a bit too mild and his reasoning flatter than hell. He had no soul, not just because he torn himself apart.
Also... Dumbledore, his death...I have decided. The reason he knew Tom had made Horcruxes, wasn't as good natured as we had thought. Takes one to know one. He is not exactly the Light character he was painted out to be. He had hidden darkness. Perhaps, he is the true Dark Lord and Tom, is merely his puppet. To help make himself look good. Like what happened with Grindlewald when he was 'forced' to defeat him.
Truth is...the MoM pressured him to do it by monitoring him and taking his position: DADA from him. This is also, his reasoning from preventing Tom to becoming the DADA professor.
He wanted the young man (TOM RIDDLE) needed to grow up away from the school. He felt his charisma would overpower his own influence over the students, and he wasn't sure of Tom's motivation. Since, he couldn't pushed to be on his side. There was always animosity there. He was an oposition he couldn't afford to have in his way of his agenda.
For it was Albus' fault that James and Lily died. He knew the prophecy was overheard by Snape and who he would tell. He wanted him to tell Voldemort. To give him a target that wasn't himself.
It was a strategic decision to give Voldemort an enemy that would mark him for death. All prophecies are Self-fullfilling. Meaning if Voldemort placed no value on it, the events that unfolded could have been avoided.
Dumbledore knew who the possible targets would implicate: a child of Lily or Alice. He also knew that Voldemort would place more value in a wizard that could be seen as his equal (halfblood)!
Half-bloods are known to be more powerful than Muggleborn and Pureblood, alike. Dumbledore, Snape, Harry and Voldemort are all halfblood. Both Voldemort and Dumbledore believe Snape to be their man. Harry sees Snape as Voldemort's man. Snape in all actuallity is Harry's man.
Snape will do everything in his power to keep Harry safe, due to his love for his mother: Lily and a unbreakable vow heade to Dumbledore to convince him to try to save Lily, after he begged Voldemort to spare her.
After Lily was killed Dumbledore told Snape he trusted the wrong person to protect her: he believed he meant Voldemort because he begged him to not kill her, but in all actuallity he was also talking about himself. Dumbledore planned everything out to work out the way it did.
Not to an exact science, but enough to manipulate all of those around him. He had changed his personality after defeating Grindlewald to a more unsuspecting character type. One that wouldn't be interpreted as a threat. Just a kindly dodgy old man.
An old man, Tom saw through because they were almost like looking back in a mirror. It's the reason why Dumbledore found him easily to manipulate. He needed a new FOE to rise after he defeated his ex lover: Grindlewald.
So he helped push Voldemort to the measures he took. Voldemort, just never saw him as calculating and manipulative. He never shown his cards except one time, after his defeat of Grindlewald. It was too brief for Tom to realize what the interaction meant.
Soooooo...after making these HARD decisions: My heart feels much lighter!
I always felt Voldemort's character was much too flat to sustain anything long term. So even if he won, it would have been a short lived win.
Now it's just: Voldemort needs to take over MoM and I think I need to give something away about Dumbledore. That he isn't all love and light as people had made him out to be.
Soooo...that leaves Harry's birthday, Yesssssss....I.will have Scrimigor come and read the new will and testament of Albus WB Dumbledore. It won't be the same as the books/movies. I'm making some drastic changes from here on out.
Same goes for X-men side of things. Hermione will stop Magneto from going on with his plans to make nomajs into mutants. Her subconscious...that already lived in a timeline that had the death of the senator...also saw the world overthrown by Voldemort. So, she would do everything in her power to prevent things from happening that way.
So...then, it means Magneto/Xavier and the X-men will be going to London right as ICW places a travel ban on the Wizarding World (They do not prevent muggle transport; they inform the public it is within the best interest to not get involved with the war in Britian)!
Now it's just....where do I begin? Now that these thoughts are solidified in my mind. I need to pick a spot to begin chapter 6!
PLANS...plots...devices: will this all fit in chapter 6...propbably not..haha may be part of 7 and 8 as well.
Harry's Birthday. Who comes: Mcgnagall, Flitwick, Hagrid, Adromeda, Ted, Tonks, Remus, Mad Eye, Molly, Ron, Luna, Neville, Seamus, Twins, Ginny, Percy, Bill, Charlie, Arthur, Molly and Minister of Magic: Scrimigor (Reads Dumbledore's and Sirius' will).
Mystique brings Senator Kelly to Brotherhood Island base and the X-men save Rogue from Avalanche.
VOLDEMORT takes over MoM (taunting Harry on the night of his Birthday) as he MURDERS Scrimigor in cold blood. Escalating the war and postponing the Weasley/Delacour wedding.
Thickness' imperio wears off after the death of Scrimigor. So Voldmort elevates UMBRIDGE to Minister of Magic, as she has a racist agenda that goes in line with majority of his following, and she is a HALFBLOOD (who hates her tainted muggle side just as much as Voldemort).
Hermione prevents Magneto from using his machine on Senator Kelly.
Voldemort's MoM/Death Eaters team up and they begin to wage war on Muggles/Muggleborns. A price is placed on the Heads of Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. (despite Hermione not being in London).
ICW ENACTS A TRAVEL BANN. POSTPONING ALL PLANS TO HELP MUTANT KIND AS ALL EFFORTS ARE NOW SECURING MUGGLES/NOMAJS DO NOT LEARN OF THE WIZARDING WAR.
Mad Eye is Dumbledore's man through and through. He will take Harry (and whoever tags along) to a secure location. Keeping him out of the Wizarding war for the time being.
George finally helps Harry with Hermione's notes. They discover lots more than they bargained for in those notes. Information not only on Voldemort but Dumbledore as well. These notes cause Harry to go into fits of rage which opens his mind to Voldemort. Which means TROUBLE in all caps.
Hermione is determined to leave NEW YORK to help Harry so...The future scene I planned will come into play.
words words...ramble ramble...
FOREWARNING: Eventual Mad Eye X Dumbledore. (Dumbledore made a Horcrux...if you didn't understand from my rambling)
NOW I HAS PLANS...WRITE DAMMIT. COME OUT OF ME. I NEED YOU TO JUST DO IT. GRRRRRR! LMFAO.
Why is this so hard right now?...I finally has the bones. Well not all the bones...ugh. I never plot damn it. WHY is this happening to me? haha.
***
What else do I need to fix?...hmmm. I'm missing something. Something important enough to mess with my flow.
OH I KNOW....WHO IT IS....
ITS VOLDEMORT (the other asshole)!!!
Like Dumbledore...I need to sort out his character in my head. He is TOO FLAT. Mwahahaah! VOLDEMORT...GET OVER HERE! I need to talk to you damn it.
DAYUM YOU MOLDY SHORTS! HOW DO YOU TAKE OVER MoM? HMMM....come out, come out wherever you are...YOU MONSTER!!! I need to set you free on Great Britain,..wreck some havok.
Stopping Hugging Draco and get inside my head...and allow your thoughts to flow through me...no? Fine...keep hugging Draco. I mean, I don't blame you for wanting to hug him but it feels so insincere and ackward.
