Yeah, I intend to have Adriel's grandfather not mind homosexuality as long as it is kept secret so the tribe isn't endangered since he would be old enough to recall what it was like during his childhood before they were threatened, but most of the younger generations would be against it

Adriel is nervous about explaining his ideas to Art, but he's trying very hard to sound casual about it to not make it akward or make Art more nervous haha

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_City_of_Z
The lost city of Z - an ancient city in the region of Brazil/Bolivia. There was a manuscript 512 found in Brazil with references to it, but the explorers that had searched for it have either disappeared or returned empty handed. The manuscript mentions arches and statues as part of the ruins
--Thinking it has Mayan, Incan, Aztec, and other indigenous witches and wizards living in it. When the first conquistadors started conquering for gold, the tribes and cities threw their gold and artifacts at the magical wizards/priests and told them to hide it. They chose those ancient ruins, hid it from non-magical and non-native eyes using magic and blood-based wards, and returned back home. A lot of those homes were destroyed, though, so some went back to restore the city to its former glory, and other magical refugees that knew the secret filtered in as the war against the Spanish continued. Some magicals from North America that had heard of it also fled to it, but most opted to stay with their tribes since it was mostly rumors and they would rather fight with and for their people.
--Thinking you need at least quarter blood to find it, or one eight to enter if someone takes you.

I was actually thinking that Art might have some mayan blood in him. Back when i took my ancient meso/south american cultures class, it's super unclear how the Mayans disappeared and such and no one really knows. It seems as though they just vanished. And one of the theories is that (which is now being tested because DNA!) they never really disappeared, they are the ancestors of the current people of the area. Which includes Guatemala. However back in the 30s that was not a theory yet and they probably just thought they were all killed or something. But I thought that could be cool and so much more meaningful when in the future they go there and Art might add a few days to their expedition to meet some family he's never gotten a chance to ect and find Mayan ruins. So it kind of works into what i was thinking

Guatemalans are descended from mayans I've read, and Art could easily have anywhere from a quarter to a half depending on his father because of the timeline. Could even say his grandfather - who had never been in his father's life - is a wizard living in that city, but he never knew he had a kid in the muggle world who ended up having Art. Would continue to match up with the ignorance thing, and from the picture, Art actually has a Mayan nose haha

We probably should set a date, btw
I was figuring the year could be 1932, maybe September? I imagined he took the note in on a Saturday to have it printed for the Sunday paper, it was on the third day of print that Art came in, so it should be a Wednesday also I think. What do you think?

1932 sounds good, maybe August though instead of September since September wouldn't be a great month to start an expedition since the threat of the cold weather coming. And a wednesday works, so today would be thursday XD

Sure, August sounds good
And it is a Wednesday, cause Sunday-Monday-Tuesday was the contract signing, and now it is Wednesday with the horse petting and puking and stuff haha
First or second Wednesday?

Leaving on a Monday would be more than enough time for Adriel, yep, he is epecting to leave on Friday or the weekend. August 3rd is actually my birthday haha. I should RNG Adriel's birthday, I forgot to think of a date
That weekend is probably when the start of Hogwarts shopping lists begins, too. So the Leaky will probably be crowded that weekend

The twine then works as a handle as well. Books aren't too heavy to carry, and can easily be organized while packing them by genre, author, series, etc

I seriously need that.
I don't think I could live without at least a ball of yarn xD They are so useful even outside of crafts
