A Night to Remember by ArtbyAinna (IG)

Happy birthday, @lilyoffandoms!!!! You are such a lovely, wonderful, talented, and all around incredible person. I think the world of you! I am so grateful to have met you through this fandom. You've always been such an amazing and supportive friend. I am so lucky to have you in my life (even luckier than Daenarya is to have Maiele 🤭). I hope your birthday brings you all the most wonderful things. You deserve only the best on your special day! Love you!💛

Birthday origami rec (nv-md)

Birthday commission for @nv-md from @getawayfox 🥰 Happy birthday, Ali! You are an amazing writer, lovely supporter, and such a sweet bean. I’m grateful to El for providing this opportunity to express appreciation for you! I hope you’ll like this little gift ☺️

(please click on the images for better quality)

Images’ descriptions: two shots of a beach scene. On the left, they depict an origami seashell folded using marble papers of white and coral colour shaded, surrounded by ten real seashells. All the shells are resting atop real sand. On the right, eleven origami lucky stars in blues and greens are scattered next to the shells, representing the ocean. The photograph on the right also has two lucky stars placed near the origami seashell.

Image description: A close-up shot of the origami seashell in the sand with some real seashells and the two lucky stars next to it. The stars are unfurled to reveal quotes from two of Ali’s fics, handwritten in cursive in black ink.

Image description: A shot of the origami seashell with all eleven stars unfurled next to it. Each star has a different quote from ten of Ali’s fics, handwritten in cursive in black ink. The quotes and fics are all typed and linked under the cut of this post. 

Ali, here is El’s message to you!:

Happy Birthday, Ali! I hope you have a fantastic day full of fun stuff! Thank you so much for being the loveliest, most supportive person and for blessing us with amazing fics! It was such joy to revisit all my favourites in your catalogue to get quotes 🤍

I asked CBG to create a little summer beach scene for you in honour of your Somewhat Summer Drabbles and I hope the vacation vibes reach all the way to you and bring sunshine to your day!☀️

Check out Ali’s fics on her ao3 here! Quotes and corresponding fics are typed under the cut: 

Bonds, Besties, and Boners: Draco Malfoy’s Guide to Getting a Boyfriend  (Draco/Harry) (E, 4250)

“Something’s wrong with you.”

Yes, well…you love me, so that’s on you.” 

The Silence & The Sound (Draco/Harry) (E, 2068)

Draco stopped on the last step, smirking lasciviously as he towered over Harry—the heels on the boots added to Draco’s already considerable height. “Close your mouth, you’ll catch flies.” 

Teddy's Filthy Christmas Present (Draco/Harry/Teddy) (E, 1992)

Draco meets my gaze, hooded grey eyes fervent in the low light. Fuck, I love him. He’s glowing with mischief and happiness. I suppose an earth-shattering orgasm and spoiling your parent’s lavish party could do that to a man. 

Shit Happens (Draco/Harry) (M, 3200)

Being Harry Potter—the Sodding Saviour, the Chosen Prat, the Berk Who Lived, blah blah blah—with all the shit that comes along with it, means that my life has always been, and will always be, fucking weird.

Do I want to ask Draco for help? Not really. Do I want to drown in the lake? Not really.

Everything About You (Draco/Harry) (E, 2529) 

“You have this one curl,” Draco said, looping an inky lock around his finger. “It always falls over your eyes, no matter what you do, and it drives me mental. Of course, your hair would be just as stubborn as you.” 

Draco Malfoy Absolutely Does Not Need to Be Loved by Harry Bloody Potter (Draco/Harry) (E, 18153)

“Archnemesis,” Hermione scoffed. “I’d hardly call you enemies. Weren’t you in the middle of an especially vigorous ‘recreational activity’ when the bond was activated?” 

The Truth of Y(our) Heart (Draco/Harry) (G, 491)

So when I say I belong to you, it’s that the stitches of your heart match the cracks of mine. 

Let Me Take You Home (Ginny/Pansy) (M, 1044)

 She takes me apart with the same hands she uses to stitch me together.

Too Much (Draco/Harry) (G, 450) 

Draco had memorized every whorl, traced every scar, mapped every line of Harry’s broad hands, and he reached out, clutching those hands he cherished so much to his chest.

 Worth the Trouble (Draco/Harry) (M, 1685)

Draco was divine, carved from stardust, Harry’s savior. His whole heart, cradled in Draco’s heavenly hands.

hi dungeon meshi fandom :]

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

Geometric Elam (The Cursed Heart MC)

Dearest @lilyoffandoms, I know you're birthday isn't until tomorrow but I thought we could start celebrating a little early! You truly are such an incredible person and I'm so grateful to have you as a friend!

I hope you enjoy your Geometric Art of Elam! I couldn't decide which version of the flower crown I liked better so you get both! The left one has 417 shapes, the one on the right has 414.

Kinda fucked up that we all coo and sympathize with "former gifted kids" but never talk about the students who had to stay late after school or over the summer for remedial classes/clubs, who struggled to get above a C, who were given up on or punished. Who tried so hard to understand or just couldn't. Who were grouped with the "stupid kids" (a classmate called us that in remedial math btw)

Autistic kids and adhders who can't relate to their gifted peers and are constantly alienated by them. Kids who struggled in school due to dealing with a chronic or mental illness or physical/learning/developmental disability. Those of us who have had to drop out of highschool or college. Kids who worked so hard and wanted to be seen as smart, but never were. Who watched as their peers seem to fly by them in school, while they were left behind. Who were bullied and put down by those in the gifted and honors classes. Whose confidence was absolutely destroyed by education.

I love you all and I'm so sorry the school system failed you. I'm sorry you weren't properly accommodated and given the education you deserved. I'm sorry people put you down for something that they never had to fight for.

DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON OLD FICS DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON FICS IN A FANDOM THE AUTHOR MAY NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN. IF THE STORY IS STILL UP LET THEM KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IT MIGHT JUST BE THE REMINDER THAT MAKES THEIR DAY.

SINCERELY SOMEONE WHO JUST GOT A REPLY THAT MADE ME WANNA MAKE THIS POST

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING
