Guess who's excited to get their ballot in the mail tomorrow? Me! So I slapped together a quick comic, as well as a map based off of this and this. A list of when same day registration is available is at the bottom of this article.

But also: wow, early voting stuff is so confusing! For example, I get my ballot in the mail tomorrow, and I can immediately mail it back. But if I want to drop it off in person, I need to either go to a special ballot drop box by city hall, or wait for early in-person voting sites to open, which isn't until Oct 22nd for my state.

Or like, early voting in Louisiana is apparently from Oct 16 to Oct 29th? And then there's a week of no voting, and then polls open again on Nov 5th? Or like how the only day you can register and then immediately vote is Oct 26th?

Anyway, best way to figure out the info for your area is to check your state and county's election website. I've found usvotefoundation.org to have clear fact sheets for each state (including ID requirements, polling location finders, as well as direct links to state election websites): https://www.usvotefoundation.org/state-voter-information . You can also jump to each state's election websites via usa.gov, or by searching directly, though some websites are more confusing than others.

Happy voting!

Oh, and here's the voter registration deadlines map from last time, in case you haven't registered and want to register. Oct 7th is the last day for a bunch of states!

somnambulant

hansry / sleepwalking and literal sleeping together / 3.3k words

.

“I was… I sleepwalk. I was sleepwalking.” The words tumble over each other. Henry keeps his eyes on a point just above Hans’s shoulder. He sees his face in the corner of his periphery, Hans’s eyebrows drawing together in the middle, his lips pursing as he mulls over this revelation.

Finally, he says, “You what? And you just came to my room with a sword bared? Christ’s wounds. How long has this been going on?”

Henry rubs his eyes. They feel grainy and tired. The room is warm and inviting, even with the fire in the grate slowly dying. He finds himself leaning slightly toward Hans and the soft feather bed but straightens up quickly. “I don’t know. It started a little after Skalitz. Just before I met you. I sleep like shit, and when I do, sometimes I wake up somewhere else.”

“Jesus,” Hans says again. “When you say somewhere else—”

“Outside sometimes. Another town, other times.”

“God.” Hans arm shifts against Henry, then his fingers close around the edge of Henry’s sleeve. “Lay down.”

Henry opens his eyes. It’s cold outside, or there’s a fire in the mantle inside, or there’s revelry downstairs at the Devil’s Den, or a warm body beside him until it’s not there anymore. A story inspired by the Somnambulant negative perk.

Prompt 1 - Aparecium

@wolfstarmicrofic April 1, word count 512

Remus was sitting at one of the study tables in the Gryffindor common room, merrily humming to himself as he poured over the map of Hogwarts he’d been working on for years. He’d added a few spells to it. He’d managed, after a lot of trial and error, to track every single witch and wizard in the confines of the castle and school grounds. 

Looking at it now, he could see Hagrid in his hut by the forest. Lily Evans and Severus Snape in the library. He wished she’d hurry up and realised what a sleazeball Snivellus was, but she was blind to all his wrongs. He tracked the fast-moving figure labelled James Potter as he zoomed around the quidditch pitch and spotted Peter Pettigrew seated in the stands watching the Gryffindor practice. He scanned the parchment for the name he longed to see. 

“Boo!” Remus leapt out of his chair. Sirius was right behind him. He looked at the map as his heart slowed to its usual rhythm, and there was the little label with Sirius Black written on it, right behind the one with Remus Lupin on it. “Oops, sorry, Moony,” Sirius took the seat beside him. “What are you working on?” He asked intrigued, snatching the map from the table. Remus managed to vanish the ink, but it was too late. Sirius had already seen it. “Something to hide, Remus?” He asked, raising a brow. He took his wand out of his pocket and tapped the map. 

“No Sirius, don’t,” Remus begged. 

“Aparecium,” Sirius recited, and the ink reappeared, but not in the form of the map. Instead, Remus’s spidery handwriting appeared. 

‘So rude! Go away, ugly! Who said you could have this? A troll has better manners than you do!’ 

Sirius read each new insult as it appeared and threw his head back, bursting into loud laughter. 

“Merlin, Remus, this is… Well, it’s excellent,” he wiped a tear from his eye. “Now, show me what’s really on it,” 

Looking around to make sure no one was watching, Remus muttered the secret password under his breath and the ink spread out from his words and the map was revealed. 

“It’s a map of the school. It’s not finished yet,” he added, not wanting Sirius to judge him on the messiness of his charms. Sirius just stared at it in awe. 

“Remus, do you have any idea how much mischief we could accomplish with this map?” His eyes darted around the room, and he thrust the map at Remus’s chest. “Do not show this to anyone but us,” Sirius had a mad glint in his eye and for the next hour they bounced ideas off each other on how to improve the map and what changes could be made. Less than a month later the Marauder’s Map was finished and was on its maiden voyage to cause mischief. 

“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good,” Remus spoke clearly and grinned at his new and improved map drew itself across the parchment. This was going to be fun.

Another random Erenville headcanon I have: He's a really good artist and his notes are filled with detailed sketches of various flora and fauna that he's come across while observing them.

The infinite realms houses many souls. New ones are unheard of .

When plasmius fully formed it was felt by all magic users a in every dimension. A sign of a new realms ghost. Whose power level was high but not quite an ancient.

Then a second came nearly 20 years later. A lower lvl one. Still capable of tearing a whole In dimensions to travel.

Then the third. The same year. When phantom formed. It was from pure ectoplasm the very thing that fills the infinite realm. Phantom was created by the realms itself. An ancient in the making.

Somehow a third in a year. But one that felt wrong. Powerful but then it sapped away coming back. It felt unstable before the sensation faded.

The JLD know these have all come from there dimension. Somehow 3 new realms ghost had been created in a year. They had already been trying to track the first. It was constantly coming in and out of the realm.

Then the baby ancient formed. The three newest realms ghost were often felt together. The three frequented an area in Illinois. On the maps a wooded area.

No one was expecting a town. Nor the baby ancient desperately defending a green glowing dog that wasn’t moving. Or the ghost who looked like. Gender bent younger version.

Especially not for the younger ghost to turn back into a living and breathing human.

Why where these guys in white even attacking the realms ghosts?!?!

It's objectively more than a little funny that Helena had to show Mark how to find the clit but then Helly gets a Mark who knows what he's doing down there, which is great for her because she probably doesn't have any clue,,

Bolts upright at 3 am in a cold sweat: What If-

Young Avengers/ Champions (whatever the mcu calls this team) goes back in time to prevent the disasters of the last 12 years.

First up is the first Marvel baby to be introduced: Cassie Lang

Cassie is taken in by Dr. Janet van Dyne after Scott and Hope are dusted and her other parents are killed in a car accident during the Snap.

Given that the world went to hell, she finishes the bare minimum of her high school education online and is accepted in UC Berkley (they desperately need student tuition) where she majored in Physics. Although she is incredibly smart and does well on tests and such, she is putting in the bare minimum as her main priority is her work with Dr. van Dyne.

After learning that Scott was in the Quantum Realm when the Snap happened, she desperately tries to get in there and save him. While she can't (because he was dusted), the heavily modified events of Quantumania occur in roughly 2021/2. She returns and devotes all she has to figuring out time travel. When she finally does about a year later, she takes it to the Avengers.

Janet convinces her to combine some of her tangential research into the Quantum Realm (not time travel specifically but some of the more believable stuff around it) to Dr. Foster, and the two help her get her PhD in quantum physics without doing a Masters.

While the Young Avenger's team is formed during the Snap and she was approached about it, she doesn't officially join until after. Cassie is closest with Riri who is a fellow STEM kid and worked with her and Dr. Stark on the Time Machine.

This is a pretty good point in the wip to share this, methinks :]

Map part for the hole dwelling map, starring... Not my ocs! I wanted to use ocs, but I don't have any-- so I just used the characters from a fic I was reading at the time 😂

Turns out, the symbolism was so much fun to twist into the 11 seconds I had to work with, I ended up going way more complex than I meant to. If you wanna read the fic this was based on, please do!! And tell the author I said hi! :D

🧡 Caleb only has Apple products fluff

Details: 100ish words of basically canon Caleb. Hello. This is such a low-hanging fruit HUHU.

Another thing about Caleb: he only uses Apple products. Exclusively. No exceptions. He’s got the full lineup—iPhone, iPad, MacBook, AirPods, Apple Watch, even his home system syncs through Apple TV like he trusts no other language but theirs.

“You ever notice how good it feels when something fits exactly right? Like it was made for your hand? For you?”

He says it’s about simplicity. Precision. How everything fits together like it was meant to.

Though, he did try another watch once—something more advanced for his long-distance runs, with a better battery. GPS-tracked and synced to perfection. A smarter choice, technically.

“Yeah, the GPS one kept going after fifteen miles. Guess what? I don’t even care.”

It didn’t stick.

“I don’t need perfect. I need mine.”

Caleb went back to the Apple Watch even though it cuts out on him mid-run. Says it’s worth it. The feel of it. The familiarity. The way it fits his wrist like it already knows him.

And when it blacks out halfway through a sprint? He just smirks and breathes silently.

“Couldn’t stay away.”
