Day 3
It seems like lately I've been needing to explain some of the things where I'm from more and more. So I decided I should explain three of the most prominent things in Shetland's Wizarding community.
But I think I should say first that its community isn't actually that big...not a lot of wizards live in Shetland, so a lot of their marketing has crossed over with that of Muggles.
Okay, first! Most important! Sea-salt ice cream!
This is actually imported from a bigger Wizarding community in Scotland, though I've never been there before...it's called Twilight Town. And it's the best ice cream ever! It's salty but sweet and since it's made by wizards it never melts! But the Muggles never really notice that part, so we can all eat it together with no worries.
Supposedly if you find an ice cream stick that says "winner" you'll get one wish and have it come true. We just tell the Muggles you get more sea-salt ice cream.
Second! Paopu fruits!
I don't know the story behind where paopu fruits came from, but supposedly if you eat one with someone special to you you'll be with them forever.
I think it's rubbish, really, and just something they tell kids so they'll buy paopu fruit charms and all. The trees are shaped weird and sometimes wiggly and paopu fruits kind of glow a little when it gets dark.
And finally, this is actually something the Wizards and Muggles shared with each other right from the start--
Thalassa shells. You don't find thalassa shells very often anymore since people usually pick them up pretty quickly to make charms out of them or other things and sell them. They're good luck charms for safe journeys, so it means a lot to us here since we have to do a lot of travelling.
Ummm...that's all I have to say.
