it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers

marauders era girls

lily evans

likes buying random foods at the grocery store for dinners

loves road trips and drags her friends on one every year

drive-in movies

likes white chocolate best

everybody tells her their secrets

likes sleeping in but is most productive in the morning

has different lists of songs to listen to depending on her mood

known for her witty comebacks and intolerance of meanness

marlene mckinnon

very rarely found sitting in chairs—prefers countertops, tables, laps, and the floor

loves lying on the floor next to friends and cracking up over the most random things

tries to take ugly photos but never looks ugly in them

doc martens and red lipstick

checkered diner floors

neat freak

the queen of random-and-unexpected-but-actually-fantastic food combinations

still appreciates ring pops

can’t keep a straight face when she tries to

dorcas meadowes

best singer in the group but can’t dance to save her life

feels like she’s procrastinating if she doesn’t finish her work right away

“i love my sibling” and two minutes later “i hate my sibling”

can make a compelling argument for anything

uses “frickity frack” and other non-curse curses

can either be incredibly poetic or speaks in phrases that don’t even remotely make sense

mary macdonald

queen of sarcasm

wakes up an hour before actually getting up

the craziest and yet somehow, most comfortable, reading positions

owns more cozy socks than shirts, probably

says “is that a challenge?” at least twice a day

really clumsy but always has the best intentions

doesn’t study but always aces her tests

alice fortescue

has a “to read” list, and loves muggle books

loves the coffee aesthetic but can’t stand the actual coffee so she just gets hot chocolate

cute clothing

gets flustered easily, but confident when she’s doing something on behalf of her friends

mom friend even though she’s actually the youngest

bearer of snacks during study sessions

soft, but in no way weak

“How beautiful to find a heart the loves you, without asking you for anything but to be okay.”

— Khalil Gibran

[fanficwritingtips01]

These days I just can't seem to say what I mean [...]. I just can't. Every time I try to say something, it misses the point. Either that or I end up saying the opposite of what I mean. The more I try to get it right the more mixed up it gets. Sometimes I can't even remember what I was trying to say in the first place. It's like my body's split in two and one of me is chasing the other me around a big pillar. We're running circles around it. The other me has the right words, but I can never catch her.

— Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

“It was good, and nothing good is truly lost. It stays part of a person, becomes part of their character. So part of you goes everywhere with me. And part of me is yours, forever.”
