#aere perennius

[tobeahundred]

Released eight chapters of Aere Perennius today!

Here is a small Baldwin and Lucy comic and poem I wrote for my fan-fiction. It's called In Aeternum te Amabo (My love for you will last forever).

I had a lot of fun drawing this!

In Aeternum Te Amabo

Could you learn to love a man with skin so brightly burned And fingers gloved and bandaged for a God he must have spurned Whose touch will one day leave his reach Whose eyes will no longer see Tell me, Princess, is that the man with whom you want to be?

Could you learn to love a man whose days are so far and few? Who carries heaven’s burden but cannot run to you? Whose breath commanded armies Whose mind had resolved wars Princess, is that the future you’ve always wanted for?

Could you learn to mourn a king who owed his life to God? Whose every waking moment was a harrowing facade Could you bring him comfort? Could you soothe his screams? Or princess, are you just the ghost that torments his waking dreams?

When I lose each piece of me, and only have my mind Princess, when I become numb, lame, deaf, and blind, Will you be there at the end? Will you be the one I find? Or will you too abandon me and leave my love behind?

[isaodra]

these are baldwin and luceria from @tobeahundred ‘s fanfic and this is my attempt at doing a fanart 😭

honestly it was sooo fun doing this watercolor!! but again, i had a lot of problems when scanning it. the colors are so so much better outside the screen

anyways, go read Aere Perennius !!! its an amazing fic and the main couple are such sweethearts…

[getawayfox]

It was what Draco needed, though. Draco needed small, he needed cosy, domestic, quaint. Maybe he wouldn’t see it like that, at the start.

But Pansy knows Draco better than she knows herself. And beyond that wall of ice and mean demeanour, Draco is a soft man that needs gentleness. Godric’s Hollow will be good.

Potter will be good.

Potter will be good, granted they don’t kill each other within the first few minutes of their surprise encounter, of course.

Hello Marion, I just finished your wonderful new christmas fic <3 <3 <3 and came to your tumblr to learn more about grief. Specifically how and why one feels set apart and not belonging to the world anymore (yes, I can relate to that!). Are there any ressources you could share? Love and thanks <3

hello anon 🤍 i’m sorry it took me a little while to get to this message! this time of the year is always a bit intense and i wanted to have the time to actually sit down and have a think about this! i am glad you enjoyed Aere Perennius but also sorry it resonated with you!

(this will get long. i am a chatty bastard, i apologise in advance!)

i have always been very comfy around death! i think it’s partially the catholicism, partially the folklore of where i grew up and partially this very specific way to look at death as something natural and normal that we have in my culture!

but loss is disorientating! i think heartbreak and sadness are always the feelings we think of, but the hardest thing about loss, for me is how confusing it is sometimes.

like how do you continue going on when something that large has happened? and why isn’t the world as upset about it as you are? it is awful, it is harrowing, it is life changing and it’s hard to accept that can exist at the same time that the sun keeps rising and setting and the earth keeps turning.

i feel like i have to mention that i am not a specialist in the human psychology whatsoever, so take whatever i say as my personal opinion based on my own experiences! i did have a fair amount of therapy specifically to deal with an unexpected and traumatic loss that i often refer to as The Big Grief (i believe i use this wording in Aere Perennius at one point actually!), and i think the hardest part of grief that causes that feeling of alienation is the loss of normalcy. everything feels tainted, almost

your life had someone or something in it and now it doesn’t! maybe you’ve always had that someone or that something, or maybe you never really got to know that someone or that something the way you wanted to. you feel robbed of Moments and Experiences and Time with Them. to me, that’s the biggest thing!

(spoilers for Aere Perennius under the cut, because it’s easier to use fiction for examples:)

grief and loss are major plot points in AP, and i think that, at first, you think it’s about Draco and Narcissa specifically but the consequences of loss go well beyond that, which you learn as the story moves along.

it was important to me that we got a little bit of dealing with loss from Everyone. Draco’s is bright and fresh and stark and it’s still a constant sore spot. in contrast, Harry is settled in his grief — he knows it well, his grief is an old friend. Luna’s mirrors Harry’s in a way, with the caveat that she has her dad still, and that her grief isn’t public (she isn’t famous and her mother’s death isn’t essentially a public holiday for a large group of people, and i really wanted to explore what that was like for Harry)

but you have quieter grief, too.

Pansy is stoic as all hell about her grief. i say this with love and i hope people will know what i mean by it, but i think Pansy is very british about her trauma. but she did find herself a support group and she is fiercely protective of Draco and Blaise

Ron and Hermione are even more settled in their grief than Harry. it isn’t obviously there! but it is there! it’s more recent but the loss Hermione’s parents and Ron’s brother were direct consequences of war. i imagine they have leaned on each other and on the Weasleys to heal from that.

and you have my dear boy Blaise, too. he was the hardest to write, in the end. Blaise is the opposite of Pansy. he won’t talk about it, i’d go as far as saying he doesn’t want to let himself even think about it. and despite his own discomfort, despite how much he finds it easier to hide, we know he would do anything for Draco and Pansy.

in a way, the Golden Trio and the Silver trio kind of work in parallel. the Gryffindors were (at least partially) willingly part of a war that cost them a lot, and had immediate consequences. the Slytherins came out of a war surprisingly intact all things considered only to lose everything after and in unexpected ways!

AP is a multipack of grief and loss! you kind of get every flavour, really 😂

as i feared, this turned into a wee bit of an essay now and i don’t even know if any of this makes particular sense or is pertinent to your question. grief and loss are very common subjects in my fics and i clearly have a lot to say lol

loss can be moving away from a city you loved and made a life in, loss can be a mutual decision to end a friendship that is no longer serving either of you, it can be a loved one’s death, it can be witnessing someone you love become ill, it can be dealing with illness yourself, and it can be growing out of your own skin and becoming a new person. either way, it’s never easy. we are creatures of habit and adjusting is always an adventure.

in terms of resources, i’m afraid i don’t have much. therapy helped me a lot and i honestly miss my therapist every day! a good support system is wonderful — not even in a therapy way, not even in a ‘i need to talk’ way! get friends who make you laugh, who see things and send them to you because they’ll know you’ll enjoy it, etc. also, at the risk of sounding cliche, putting my feelings into my writing and my art and my crafts has helped a lot, too. like harry says, grief is forever. but it doesn’t mean you can’t have joy at the same time, too. let them meet each other. grief and joy are not opposites, they are both cause and consequence. you just gotta get real cosy with the knowledge that they exist in a circle/cycle. and hey, we’ll be alright! that’s what i always tell myself!

sending you lots of love, anon x

I missed Sunday for smexy thoughts, but here's some food for thought anyway:

Dan Feng: breeding kink, infertile (down to pretend though. for fun.)

Dan Heng: terrified of having kids, fertile (even though he doesn't know it...yet)

Hello! Your bibliomancy readings sound interesting, I would love one please! H: 57, 380, 418. Thank you 💐

Hello to you! I hope you are well! You are most welcome c:

You have a bouquet from my Language of Herbs book! As yours are all in different letter sections (A, P, and R), I will create your bouquet for you!

In your bouquet, you have: Aquilaria Malaccensis (Agar-Agar), Piper Betle (Betel Leaf), and Rosa Gallica (Gallic Rose).

Together their meanings comprise of life, loyalty, and variety.

For you when I look at your bouquet, I see how the elements blend together to create a distinct smell and visual presentation. With the presence of Aquilaria Malaccensis, most often used for incense and perfumes, it acts as a binding power between Piper Betle and Rosa Gallica. There is a distinctness to the Piper Betle in your bouquet as it presents itself as a strong, protective force. The leaves of that plant are most often used as a flavor for Betle nut chewing (which can be a spicy and sweet flavor). Combined with Rosa Gallica, this adds a certain element of softness and affirmation to you. I will make a small note that there does feel like this comes from an outside presence and this is a reminder to you. The smell of the two together is spicy, sweet, and floral.

Overall, when I look at it all. It is a reminder to you about a bond you have with someone else. With the binding force of the Aquilaria Malaccensis between Piper Betle and Rosa Gallica, it is a message to you that you are protected, and a reminder you can be strong and gentle simultaneously. There does not appear to be any other message other than this affirmation to you.

Hello! Your Pokemon deck sounds fun 😄 If it's okay, I'd love a reading with it on how to boost my career, or simply a general reading please!

Hello there! As I'm still getting used to reading with this deck, I've opted to do the general reading!

I had Starmie come forward, in a recumbent position. His gem is pointed straight towards the stars twinkling high above, and I get a sense of longing and nostalgia. The background of this card is unique, and is an abandoned sign near the petrified forest in Arizona. It has been graffitied to say "don't let nostalgia win again".

There is something from the past that is holding you back, a yearning and longing that taints your vision. What is it that draws you back to that time, however? What about it is stopping you from moving forward? Take off the rose colored glasses and allow yourself to immerse fully in the present and future.

Interested in a free reading? Check out my services post! Enjoyed the reading? Consider leaving me a tip!

5 More Latin Phrases

to try to include in your poem/story (again)

Over the centuries, certain Latin phrases have been used widely enough in English to get included in the dictionary.

Aere Perennius

"More lasting than bronze"

In the final poem in his third book of Odes, Horace boasts that his poetry will outlive any manmade monument:

"Exegi monumentum aere perennius." ("I have made a monument more lasting than bronze.")

Given that his words continue to be used two thousand years later, perhaps he's right.

Caveat Emptor

"Let the buyer beware"

In early Roman law, sales of goods were governed by caveat emptor: buyers were advised to scrutinize the goods before purchase, because sellers had few obligations.

Over time, the imperative of caveat emptor has been softened by warranties, both express and implied.

Caveat has been adopted directly into English, and has a small range of meanings, including "a warning enjoining one from certain acts or practices" and "an explanation to prevent misinterpretation."

Emptor has likewise been taken directly into the English language, although the word is far less common than caveat; it has retained the rather narrow meaning of "buyer, purchaser."

Per Angusta Ad Augusta

"Through difficulties to honors"

These four words have inspired students and soldiers for centuries.

Alternative translations include "through trial to triumph" and "through difficulties to great things."

Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc

"After this, therefore on account of it"

This refers to the logical mistake of claiming that one thing caused another just because it happened first.

For example, the rooster crows and the sun rises - but to argue that the rooster's crowing causes the sun to rise would be post hoc, ergo propter hoc reasoning.

It was Aristotle who laid the groundwork for classifying bad arguments based on logical errors like this one.

Si Monumentum Requiris, Circumspice

"If you seek his monument, look around"

It took 35 years to complete London's magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral.

When its architect, Sir Christopher Wren, died twelve years later in 1723, he was entombed inside, under a simple slab of black marble.

Wren's son placed a dedication nearby, which contains the words "Lector, si monumentum requiris, circumspice" ("Reader, if you seek a monument, look around you").

The phrase is generally used to describe a person's legacy - and can be taken to mean that what we leave behind (including intangible things like relationships) best represents our life.

If any of these phrases make their way into your next poem/story, please tag me, or leave a link in the replies. I would love to read them!

Latin Phrases pt. 1

[sitp-recs]

Heyy,

do you have any fic recs where Harry repairs his parents house in Godric's Hollow or lives in it, etc ?

I think I have read maybe two fics where they talk about that house for more than 5 seconds

Thank youuuu 🤍

Hi anon! I think I’ve read more but here are some recs off the top of my head:

a foundation on which to build by beyondtheclose (T, 19k)

When Harry returns to Godric’s Hollow, intent on fixing his parents’ old house and maybe finding somewhere that feels like a home, he discovers an old journal inscribed Property of Elliot Evans Potter and learns that his dad was trans. “Lily Potter” didn’t exist.

Harry Potter and The Bisexual Awakening by Writcraft (E, 23k)

Harry is perfectly content being single, heterosexual and living in Godric's Hollow with his very clingy rescue dog, Snitch. When Draco Malfoy turns up on Harry's doorstep demanding that Harry teach him how to drive, things quickly become a lot more complicated.

Aere Perennius by onbeinganangel (M, 25k)

Upon Narcissa’s death, Draco Malfoy lets his best mate decide on a new place for him to live and set up his flower shop. Pansy, the meddling witch that she is, picks Godric’s Hollow. Specifically, the oh-so-conveniently available space next to Harry Potter’s bookshop. What could possibly go wrong?

At the beginning of the year, I thought I'd make a couple of little rec posts with a quote from some of my favourite fics, you know, something easy. And easy it was: with so many gorgeous fics that are out there, it's been such an absolute joy to keep finding quotes to share that I ended up making one each week for the whole year. I got so many lovely messages and tags about them and I'm so happy that I helped people discover new things to read. So, here is a masterlist of all the 50 quotes that I shared this year. (There are actually 51. Idk how that happened. Let's pretend it's a nice round number, it looks better on the banner😂)
