fandom is ruining my life, mark 29

[ontology]

Right, so, what does it say about me that I have spent substantial periods of time figuring out how best to make a record player work by magic? -- Look, it really wouldn't be that difficult; isn't the main way a record player works is by rotating, and the needle scratching along the surface of the record? (I have not actually seen very many record players in action.) In that case, one would simply have to charm it to go round, yeah?

...Yeah.


In other news, a very happy (and somewhat belated even on this side of the world) birthday to ressie_noldo , who is v. spiffing. ♥

They do indeed go round, but you might need that levitation charm to lift the needle and place it back at the outer edge (I think that's right, anyway) of the record to restart it... or one to lift the needle, lift the record, replace it with another, and then set the needle back on. *nods*

We had one from the time I was born until I was about 13, and I was very sad to see it go.
