just realized Harry's narration gives us pretty detailed descriptions of two different sets of Draco's dress robes. (the "handsome" dark green ones, and the high-collared black velvet Harry doesn't like as much as the green because it makes Draco look like a vicar.)

... but we have no idea what Ginny wore to the Yule Ball, or the Slug Club party. We only know about the low-cut pale gold bridesmaid dress because Fleur and AUNT MURIEL describe it.

The recap of the Marauders era fanon would be that we grabbed Harry Potter's parents and their friends, dipped them into a pool of rainbows and fucking ran with them.

Charlie: *posts a super low-quality image to the family group chat*

Fred: if I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I’d have 15 cents

Ginny: if I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after reading this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you

Percy: actually I did the math, Fred would have $225, not $0.15

George: if I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)

Fred: while you’re there could you buy me an apply juice please

George: sorry I only have a dollar

Fred: :(

Percy: correction, Fred would have $22,500 because it’s a dollar for every pixel, not cent

George: if I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice

Ron: you can buy anything you want with $22,500

Ginny: yeah and they want soda and an apply juice

Fred: apply juice to what

George: directly to the forehead

Bill: great chat everyone

Pinky Promise | @black-sisters-microfic | Tedromeda-centric | Word Count : 695

Hogwarts, September 1964.

“You’re a mudblood, then?” Andromeda asked suspiciously. “I’ve never heard the name Tonks before.”

Ted Tonks, who had been unnecessarily cheerful up till this moment, dropped his smile immediately. “That’s not a nice thing to say.”

“Why?” Her brows pulled together in confusion. “It’s just a question. I won’t be offended if you ask me my blood status.”

Ted stared at her. “The difference is that you’re insulting me.”

“When did I insult you?” Andromeda threw up her hands in exasperation. “You’re the one who can’t answer a simple question!”

“Are you stupid?”

“Oh, clearly, I am,” she said. “Why else would I be wasting my time talking to you?”

Ted rolled his eyes. “I’m sorry, Your Highness, I’ll let you go so you can continue your bullying.”

“What!?” Andromeda shrieked indignantly. “I have never bullied anyone, nor do I want to!”

“Didn’t you just call me a mudblood?” asked Ted, eyebrow raised.

She groaned in frustration. “I only asked if you were. And you still haven’t answered me.”

“I’m not a mudblood,” Ted said pointedly. “I’m a muggle-born.”

Andromeda blinked. “Is—what is wrong with you?” she asked. “That’s exactly the same thing!”

“No, it’s not!”

“A muggle-born,” she began through gritted teeth, “is someone who has muggle parents. A mudblood is also someone who has muggle parents. I fail to see the difference.”

“When you say mudblood, it sounds like you think you’re better than me,” Ted said. When Andromeda pursed her lips and didn’t make a comment, he scoffed. “You do think you’re better than me, don’t you?”

“Well … yes,” she slowly nodded. “But that’s because I saw you trip and fall over nothing. You were just walking, there were no obstacles, and you still fell.”

“That can happen to anyone!” he pointed out indignantly, face flushing a light pink.

“It has never happened to me.”

Ted glared at her, his hands balled into fists at his sides. “Who the fuck cares—”

“Don’t use the word,” Andromeda hissed, eyes widening.

“What word?” Ted blinked. “Fuck?”

She nodded, distressed.

He huffed out a mirthless laugh. “So you can call me a mudblood but I can’t say fuck?”

Andromeda wanted to burst into flames right then and there because why was this boy being so difficult?

“It’s just a blood status,” she tried patiently. Maybe he doesn’t know since his parents are muggles. “So, you see I’m a pureblood because my parents are, too. If someone has one parent who’s not a pureblood, then that person is a half-blood. If you have both parents who are muggles, you’re a mudblood,” She held up her hand when he began to interrupt her. “It’s also called muggle-born, I know, but mudblood makes more sense. Pureblood, half-blood, mudblood.”

After that, Ted stared at her silently for a very long time. It seemed that he was contemplating his next words carefully, finally settling on, “We prefer to be called muggle-born because people use the other one in a bad way … it’s like how you don’t like hearing fuck because it’s a bad word. Mudblood is a bad word, too.”

Andromeda digested that, nodding slowly. “But then you can’t use that word, either.”

Ted’s face split into a helpless grin. “I promise that if you stop using the m-word, I’ll stop using the f-word.”

“Deal,” she nodded, satisfied with this. “Should we make an Unbreakable Vow?”

“What’s that?” he asked curiously.

“It’s an unbreakable vow,” she raised an eyebrow. “It means you make a vow that you can’t break.”

“I meant,” Ted rolled his eyes again, this time with a smile that seemed fond, “what would happen if I do end up saying fu—the word?”

“You’ll die,” she stated simply.

“Oh, good thing it’s not something dramatic and unnecessary.”

Andromeda laughed.

“We can do a pinky promise instead,” Ted told her. “It’s the muggle version of that vow, except you don’t die if you break it.”

“Then it’s not very binding, is it?”

He shrugged. “It’s about trust. You can break it, yes, but I would be trusting that you won’t … and vice versa, I hope.”

“Hmm,” she passed a small smile. “Alright. Let’s do this muggle promise of yours.”

Scorpius: I have a bad feeling about this…

Albus: What do you mean?

Scorpius: Don’t you ever get that small voice inside your head telling you something will get you in a lot of trouble?

Albus: No?

Scorpius: That… that explains so much.

i cant argue with a sad brown eyed boy, whatever u say beautiful

[toorumlk]

the Granger-Weasleys!!!!!

[shrimpalbuspotter]

so for someone who has never read albus severus potter/scorpious malfoy fics, what would you recommend? i really trust your recs they always eat

Thank you for the trust, anon!!! Im sure not all of these are beginner friendly but they are the ones I started with and I love them dearly!!

The It's Tea Time series is a very good start! It's probably one that most people will recommend, so I'd definitely check it out.

Then, ofcourse, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (in novel form). Completely canon compliant besides the fact its endgame Scorbus, and adds extra things we miss out on. Just amazing, I reread it all the time.

The Cursed Second Child is so good, unfinished but still updating! Deals with Dark!Albus if your interested in that at all. I am ;)

Ofcourse I have to mention Building up like waves which was the fic that really got me into Scorbus. I'm sure I cried atleast once even though its such a sweet fic. I recommend it any time I can

As The Others See it COMING OUT FIC!!! Honestly, it's wonderful, it's cc compliant, I squealed reading it every update. I was so inlove with this fic I'd read it the moment I got the notification it uploaded no matter where I was.

Sneaking this in... something worth taking the time isn't exactly Scorbus, but it's about them both, and it's honest to god my favourite CC fanfic. It's time travel with Mentor Severus and codependent Scorpius/Albus and also Albus having beef with everyone he meets. Perfect characterisation. I strongly recommend reading it.

If anyone has anything to add on PLEASE do, for someone who loves the ship so much I really don't read alot of Scorbus. THANKS FOR THE ASK AND I APPRECIATE THE COMPLIMENT ALOT I try my best when I make recs

Snape was definetely a bitch to his students, but at least he was a somewhat responsible teacher. He'd make his students scrub cauldrons or clean nasty potion ingredients for detention, but it wasn't him who sent 1st year students over to Hagrid's to wander around the Forbidden Forest at night ON THEIR OWN with only a dog at their side, while something unknown is attacking other creatures.

Y'all call Snape a terrible teacher for being scary and mean and abusing a toad, but I don't see anyone uttering a word about Hagrid and McGonagall literally endangering children's lives: McGonagall for thinking that sending 1st year students who had 0 experience in defense and fighting to accompany Hagrid into the Forbidden Forest at night was a reasonable detention (note: students had been warned multiple times to not enter it as it was a very dangerous place). And Hagrid. He deserves his own post on that scene alone.

Bro would have been dead furious if 11 year old Malfoy had told him about Hagrid separating him and Neville in the Forbidden Forest at night with only a dog as "protection" while some creature was actively hunting.

ALBUS: No. They’re not true. And I’ll tell you why. Because I don’t think Voldemort is capable of having a kind son — and you’re kind, Scorpius. To the depths of your belly, to the tips of your fingers. I truly believe Voldemort — Voldemort couldn’t have a child like you.

I just had a talk with my thesis supervisor and I want to check something real quick.

I want to write my bachelor's thesis about fanficion and AI - specifically about fanfiction writers' attitude towards the use of generative AI in fandom spaces

The survey (and the rest of the thesis) is still v much in the making, I just want to check how many potential responders I could reach from this account

Pls reblog after voting

What I can say about the survey for now:

1. The survey will be anonymous!

2. The survey will be in English (but the rest of my thesis will not. I am however required to write an abstract in English)

3. My supervisor said it's fine if I want to focus on one fandom - In this case it will be the HP fandom. However I would like to include as many reposnes as I can, so it will probably not be a requirement to be in the HP fandom.

4. You don't need to write fanfiction to take part in the survey (but there will be a question if you read and/or write fanfics). You need to be in the fandom though

5. You need to be over 18 (most likely)

I want to keep myself anonymous as well so there is a possibility I will have to make a separate sideblog/account for it.

If anyone will be interested in the results, for some reason - I am required to write the abstract in English, so I might share the abstract. Maybe. More info after I write anything for my thesis.

you know… i like that the pokémon series actually has such solid worldbuilding. you wouldn’t think a series of creature collecting games aimed at children that’s trying to make absolute bank off of marketable plushies and such would have like a whole entire lore bible but it does. every region is a separate place in the same world and they acknowledge that. people visit other regions and make note of cultural differences. they’re aware of the major news in other regions even though it doesn’t affect them or have anything to do with their own stories. it isn’t like one continuous story where you have to have played one game to understand another (like kingdom hearts) but it isn’t like a random inconsistent mashup of stories that contradict each other and reinvent the so-called timeline every game (like the legend of zelda). no shade to either of those franchises obviously i’m just saying i think pokémon kinda struck gold in that regard

[solxnglondon]

Albus: I know you think my judgement is clouded because I fancy Scorpius a LITTLE-

James: You doodled your wedding invitations…

Albus: Don’t be an idiot. Those were our joint tombstones.

James: My mistake.
