Love these so much

Hello everybody!

I updated my pridesaur list and added some respectable entries for Intersex, Abrosecxual, Greysexual, agender and butch lesbian. I am proud to say we are at 21 dinos!!!

But I am still very much open for more suggestions, so if you find any fitting dino pun, that I have not covered yet, please feel free to let me know ^.^

My goal still remains to have the most inclusive prehistoric pride dinosaur collection out there, so feel free to help me out a bit with fun ideas ;D

Happy pride to y'all!

I also got all of them as stickers on my etsy shop, so if any of you feel like supporting my silly dino art, please come by:

Did I just finish My Mad Fat Diary? Yes. Am I obsessed? Absolutely. Did this scene make me cry like a baby because it hit so hard? 100%.

Then that’s what you need to tell yourself. Every time you feel that panic. That anxiety. You need to soothe yourself like you would soothe the little girl... You need to tell yourself that everything’s going to be OK. If you commit to that, then I promise you you’ll be able to face anything. And it starts right now.

Hey just a general PSA from someone officially diagnosed and documented:

Now is not the time to seek out an autism diagnosis.

RFK's plans have been made very clear and any diagnosis you do get will get you put on this "national disease registry" they're proposing.

Trust me when I say I completely understand the need for accommodations and a better understanding of yourself, but if you have gone this long without being diagnosed, you will be better off waiting.

Furthermore, listen to and advocate for folks who are diagnosed, especially folks with higher support needs. They'll be the first ones targeted for whatever bullshit "experimental treatments" the government tries to push.

Stay safe and look out for your neighbor.

Okay friends, I’ve been having thoughts and I want to know y’all’s opinions.

I’ve seen a few people equate drarry to jegulus and I just… don’t see it. I get that there’s some similarities (the whole Gryffindor/Slytherin thing, playing on opposing quidditch teams, fighting on opposite sides of the war, one’s a Potter and one’s from the Black family, etc) but as far as their personalities and general relationship dynamics go, I really don’t see the connection.

(And, just as a disclaimer, I have read drarry pretty extensively and not jegulus; I’m not against it or anything, I just haven’t gotten into it. So that might be clouding my judgement. Any jegulus fans reading this: please let me know what you like about the ship, maybe I’m missing something.)

Here’s how I see it: Regulus is James’ best friend’s little brother. There might be tension there (they’re in opposing houses, plus Sirius’ strained relationship with his family, conflicting values, etc) but to my knowledge that’s pretty much the extent of it. James is a prankster and the perfect example of a Gryffindor, he’s brave and noble and a bit of a prat but has a heart of gold and would do anything for his friends. Regulus is pretty quiet and reserved but is always two steps ahead of everyone and is definitely someone you wouldn’t want to cross and not just because of his family name. He’s smart, to the point where he outsmarted Voldy when he was just a teenager. Despite the differences in values of their families, they both grew up in wealthy pureblood households.

Meanwhile, Harry is a mix between Gryffindor and Slytherin. He’s brave to the point of recklessness and has no sense of self-preservation, but he also desperately wants to prove himself worthy to his friends, professors, etc. I would argue that this mostly stems from trauma rather than just his personality but he definitely exhibits mixed traits rather than a poster child for Gryffindor. He bottles things up (I.e. not telling his friends about Umbridge’s abuse) and also rages to the point of destruction (I.e. destroying Dumbledore’s office after Sirius’ death). He’s protective of his friends and values his relationship with them but he also struggles to let them in at times. He doesn’t really care about school at all, though that might be due in part to the fact that he’s always fighting for his life. Draco is shown as arrogant and obnoxious and a bit of a drama queen, but he’s definitely seen some shit, especially in the later books. He’s smart, second in their class behind Hermione, and has a mean streak, though he presumably has at least somewhat of a decent relationship with the other Slytherins. I’ve always assumed that even though he uses his father and his name to boost his social status, his relationship with his father is cold at best (but maybe that’s just because of Tom Felton’s facial expressions in the Diagonal Alley scenes in the Chamber of Secrets movie). But you can’t deny that he grew up wealthy and quite spoiled, juxtaposing Harry’s neglect. Harry’s a half-blood who grew up with his abusive muggle relatives, while Draco is the heir to two of the most pureblood families.

But with drarry, it goes deeper than that. They’re thematic parallels. They’re both used as pawns on opposite sides of the war, and they both had their paths cut out for them from birth (Harry by the prophecy, and Draco by his family). They’re both stuck in situations that they don’t want to be in, fighting an adult war as kids while the adults in their lives fail at keeping them safe. And they are canonically obsessed with each other. No matter how you interpret their relationship, they are way more involved in each other’s lives than is normal for two people who aren’t friends and in different houses. Harry thinks of Draco as his nemesis, more so than the guy that’s actually been trying to kill him since birth, and Draco goes out of his way to antagonize Harry as well. And I’m not even gonna get into Sixth Year.

I just don’t see the connection between the two ships beyond surface level similarities. What do y’all think? Am I missing something?

Happy to be of service. It’s just me and my extensive list of ao3 bookmarks against the world lol

Is there a drarry fic where they start a relationship BEFORE Draco becomes a death eater and he's starts avoiding Harry and they're arguing a lot and Harry is in denial at first but then discovers the mark and a whole angst-fest ensues? Things turn out okay in the end one way or another but yeah .. ANGST

IWAJAG has this in spades. The amount of tears I cried while reading this fic, you have no idea. It starts in 4th Year and it is loooooong (literally the length of the first four and a half books in canon) but worth it. Mind the trigger warnings tho!
