Can I just say how much I adore the way you draw characters hugging, they look so squished in affection

You know what time it is

Part of the appeal of having Brad Marchand on your team is that he's small enough that you can pick him up.

choir practice

some thoughts below ↓

my disclaimer is that i do not have experience being in all-boys choirs but i have been in 3 different adult amateur choirs and i imagine its not too dissimilar

in case you cant tell who they are lol:

benítez -> adeyemi -> bellini -> tedesco -> wozniak -> lawrence -> o'malley -> tremblay -> sabbadin

in my mind none of them have finished growing so their heights are all over the place

I wonder if, after Hogwarts, Lily ever thought about the fact that she blamed Severus for hanging out with the pureblood slytherins during their last years while she did exactly the same.

Severus was unpopular and yearned for community and validation. Being half-blood in slytherin might have been barely good enough.

Lily was pretty and well-liked so she already had friends, community, a support-system. She was lucky to have been sorted in a House where being muggleborn wasn't (seemingly) a problem.

AND the pureblood jock was in love with her so she had to make no effort to try and fit in with the 'higher crew'. She didn't even had to pursue him, the guy was drooling after her for literal years. She got accepted - welcomed - amongst them so easily. She married James Potter who was best friend with Sirius Black.

She had it so easy.

There's this headcanon that I find interesting about Lily being somewhat of a gold digger and marrying James Potter as a way to climb the social ladder. I'm not against it, it's a pretty interesting take which gives depth to her character. But if she did that, the nerve of her for taking the moral high ground over Severus.

And of course, if she married James because she genuinely loved him, it would have - nevertheless - been a social ascent for her. And I'd be curious to see stories where she realized that and maybe thought of the irony of the situation.

Like... she did the same as him. She just got lucky.

Even more Manfred and Fred please 🥺 maybe Rook can bring Fred a friend and Emmrich is flustered but can't stay mad at them 😂🐸

Very well, dear Anon :D

Rook and Manfred were giggling in Emmrich’s rooms.

Normally that would bring a smile to the necromancer’s face and a burning sense of love and contentment to his heart.

But today it didn’t. There was a difference between Rook and Manfred having fun, and Rook and Manfred conspiring.

And Emmrich knew them both well enough to know the difference.

“Big!” exclaimed Manfred.

The spirit of curiosity was kneeling in front of the fireplace beside Rook. Their backs were to the door. Neither of them had heard him come in.

“It is a lot bigger,” Rook was saying. “It might not fit. This one’s okay though. What do you think?”

“Pretty spots,” Manfred cooed. “Like Harding.”

Rook laughed and Emmrich nearly lost his nerve as he crept up behind them. There were few things that got to him like that low, contagiously happy sound.

“Yeah, it does look a bit like her freckles. You could call it freckles.”

“No. Harding.”

“Well okay, that makes sense. What about the other one?”

“Yes,” Emmrich whispered in Rook’s ear. “What about the other one?”

Rook made a new, and completely unique sound that Emmrich had never heard in or out of the Veil. He didn’t know the human ear could comprehend sounds of that pitch.

Every hair on Rook’s head was standing on end as they whirled around. “How did you do that!?!?!?! Are you Emmrich’s ghost?! Why did you do that?! Are you trying to kill me!?”

“What other one, Rook?” Emmrich said sternly.

“Uhhh…” Rook tried to hide what the necromancer now realized was Manfred’s terrarium with their body. It did not work.

Manfred turned, holding aloft not one, but two handfuls of frog.

One was rather large, and muddy brown, the other was small and almost charmingly speckled with little golden spots.

“Vorgoth!” Manfred declared as the frog’s little legs dangled from his fists. They seemed very unconcerned about the deadly drop below them.

“Wh–Where did you get those?” Emmrich sputtered.

“Rook!” Manfred pointed the newly minted ‘Vorgoth,’ at the person in question.

Rook chagrined and bounced back and forth on their toes. “Yes…well…”

“Why?” Emmrich begged, gesturing to the already extravagantly large and well decorated terrarium in which Fred the frog basked like a little king in his own slimy kingdom.

The necromancer’s arm shook emphatically, grave gold jingling, as if to say: ‘See?! Look at what I have already done for my precocious skeleton son! Is this not enough?! Do you doubt that I love him?! What more must I do!?’

“Fred looked lonely,” Rook admitted.

Emmrich’s arm fell.

“Alone,” Manfred moaned softly, tucking the additional frogs against his collarbone like one would a pair of kittens.

Emmrich sighed all the way to his chair, leaving behind a mournful trail in the air, pinching the bridge of his nose, and collapsing at last into the seat.

“Well…it was kind of you to name them after Vorgoth and Harding after they helped us with your terrarium, Manfred. We must send Vorgoth a note. And get Harding…a new plant?”

“She likes cheese,” Rook said helpfully, seating themself on the ground against Emmrich’s legs.

Emmrich wasn’t fooled. They were only sitting there to trap him. The selfish wretch.

He let his fingers curl in their hair as together they watched Manfred place Vorgoth and Harding into the tank, giving them a tour in the soft little voice he reserved only for his frog…er, frogs.

ICYMI I invited a bunch of amazing audio drama superstars to collaborate for the FIRST TIME EVER on... a really stupid April Fool's Episode (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

Even if you're not caught up with Hi Nay you should definitely give this a listen, down to the end of episode bloopers.

And then you should definitely look at the list of podcasts in the description and listen to them ALL (｡◕‿‿◕｡)

Huge thanks again to everyone who volunteered for this, you're all amazing <3
