#harry potter is so freaking detailed

[nemotakeit]

i remember the first time ever i listened to SO i was like pfft rap? get out. (i was cringe) and then when i gave it a listen again a few months later i was a changed person... so i binge listened to their entire discography immediately and was genuinely shocked because how could ALL of their songs be bangers, like i couldn't believe it was possible it was surreal........ i wish i could turn back time (lol) to experience that pure shock again

[blueteller]

Ok, first of all:

Pendrick's face reveal

He's.... not blond.

He was supposed to be blond. 😂 He's a blond elf! He was meant to be the stereotypical pretty blond elf!! How do you mess that up!!! 🤣

...well at least the facial scarring is there. You think they they had some Harry Potter scars on sale? Lol

And I guess gray – or silver? It's hard to tell... – hair is close enough to blond?? Could have been worse.

...In any case, Pendrick's design details aside, I have to admit this: chapter 131 of the manhwa has been one of the most enjoyable chapters I've read in a long while.

The entire scene of Cale inwardly freaking out while the elves were trying to approach him was priceless. Comedy gold. They made it even funnier than in the novel, which is rare.

I laughed so hard. Respects!

A 30-year-old Christian Fujoshi With a PhD's Thoughts on Team Fortress 2 Shipping.

Here I will be providing my thoughts and opinions on my personal favorite Team Fortress 2 ships. I do not know who will be interested in my speakings, but I am branching out into this beautiful fandom like a great oak tree. Haters can "suck an egg," and I do hope that saying is not an euphemism for anything of the less appropriate variety! Please be ready for a very long and verbose post.

How Did I, freaksnvans, Become Interested in Such a Thing?

An Introduction to Me.

I am indeed a Christian woman, and I self-identify as a Fujoshi. That may seem contradicting, but it is not. I ship the mercenaries from Team Fortress 2 in a good and god-honoring way, and I will not tolerate any negative speak of the Lord in my comments and/or reblogs. As for myself, you may only know me as freaksnvans. I chose that name because My favorite ship, as you may be able to discern from such a screen name, is Trucks n' Vans. The "Freak" part comes from a childhood nickname I was given in elementary school... the Freak. That is very traumatic to me, so I mustn't delve into the details. Moving on.

Where It All Started.

In 2007, I was vaguely interested in the game, having heard whispers of it from sites like YouTube as well as my male classmates. I was Thirteen years old, therefore in middle school. Team Fortress was, without a doubt, popular with middle school aged boys at the time of its release. Being curious as to what the "hype" (am I using this Gen Z slang correctly?) was, I googled Team Fortress 2. I had no, and will still never have any, interest in first-person shooter games. I do not like to kill things. I am a god-honoring woman. However, seeing the image of seven strong and mysterious men, (I am indeed disregarding the Scout, as he is not strong nor is he a man, he is a weak and pathetic boy.) I was indeed intrigued.

I, before then, had minor experiences with fandom spaces, having been interested in Harry Potter at the time. I read fan-fiction occasionally. However, I felt no interest toward fan-fiction and pairings of the homosexual variety. My favorite ship to read fan-fiction of was Dramione. I imagined myself as Hermione. My readings of fan-fiction were in fact very self-serving. I became gradually interested in Team Fortress 2 when the fandom was in its infancy. (If you are wondering as to how I never interacted with the fandom before now, or used "social media," that is because I was not allowed to at such an age, and had a fear of doing so up until adulthood. Please do not shame me.)

Back to the topic of Team Fortress! I began searching for fan art of my favorite characters - which, then, were Medic and Soldier. I longed for the Soldier to hold me in his strong arms. I secretly desired for Medic to perform cruel and unusual acts of surgery upon my body. That is a common sentiment shared upon fans of Medic now, I have found. I thought I was alone!

Anyways... At some point, I began to discover Team Fortress fan-fiction. I was extremely intrigued by my discoveries. I, being a pre-fangirl with no real interest in shipping between the mercenaries yet, read "x reader" fan-fiction. However, the extreme abundance of slash fiction made stories of the homosexual variety completely and utterly unavoidable. I naively decided to read just one story of such a kind. I do believe it was a HeavyMedic fic. It was like a fujosplosion inside my mind. I quickly became hooked on reading M/M Team Fortress fan-fiction, scouring sites such as FFN to find more.

That does seem to be how I became interested in gay pairings in Team Fortress 2.

Ok, then what are your favorites? Stop rambling, woman.

Why would you say that to me? Anyways, over the years, I have been particularly drawn to three different pairings.

the first would of course be Trucks n' Vans.

It may be obvious that is my favorite. Actually, I think I already mentioned that it is, ha ha! Anyways. Trucks n' Vans has captivated me ever since I was a young girl. First of all, Sniper is skinny and mildly pathetic, while Engineer is a beautiful fit man. He is also Southern, which I am too. I became interested in this pairing because I imagined Engineer teaching Sniper the ways of God and life in the South. He would show Sniper the beauty and joy of a good old peach cobbler. Which he clearly needs, because I do have a burning hatred for Australians. Sniper is an exception. Anyways.

I have also found great interest in HeavyMedic.

Of course I have. I was interested in this fandom from the day it was created, you silly goose, of course I love HeavyMedic. They were meant to be. Please don't tell God that I said this but I wish I was between them as they kissed. I am short enough for that, being a meager five-foot-one, and generally petite. Well, um, sorry to cut that short, but I am having an extremely bad nosebleed at the moment. Because I thought too hard about HeavyMedic with me sandwiched int he middle. I may as well complete typing this post up, because it's not that bad, but I may make typos here and there. There is blood on my keyboard. Oh Dear. LOL!

My Other Thoughts.

I do believe that Team Fortress shipping is what made me more tolerant of people leading a homosexual lifestyle. When I see gay people in the streets I no longer recoil in disgust as my parents taught me, but I remember that they are people too. Just like Team Fortress 2 in real life. I did meet lots of gay people in college, when I was learning and working toward my PhD in philosophy. Most of the men there did not interest me, because they looked too much like Scout and not enough like a handsome Soldier.

As detailed in my previous post, there are many people who hold disdain for fangirls, or generally people who ship and read fan-fiction. I did experience some of this in college and high school. In middle school, I was very secretive about my fan-fiction and fandom activities. I didn't even have any online friends. The only people I knew who had any interest in Team Fortress 2 were boys at school, who thought I was a freak of nature for being interested in gay scenarios between the mercenaries. I once had lemonade thrown on my brand-new white pants because I was caught reading a HeavyMedic fan-fiction in class. I wanted to die. Please, Lord, excuse my language...FUCK you, Jared. I have violent fantasies regarding him sometimes. As a result of that, I was called gay pee-girl for the rest of the year. I had to move schools because nobody called me by my name, and I was only known as the gay pee-girl. It was definitely worse than "freak."

That may be it from me today. There's so much blood. I think it is not just a normal nosebleed. Oh goodness

detailed fluffy/smutty headcannons! draco malfoy as your boyfriend.

i’m writing this as a continuation of “ive got my eye on you”, and sooort of requested by @dolcid. i’ll hopefully write a proper part two soon but for now here are some detailed, fluffy bf!draco headcannons to keep you satisfied. ive thrown some smuttys hcs in as well, so you really get the picture (i love reading headcannons so i hope you’re as pleased with this as i am!) <3

WARNINGS! SEXUAL CONTENT. SMUT. 18+

malfoy is a really good boyfriend. you’ve never had one before though so you can’t compare him to much :(

the way he confessed to you was really impressive though (and really turned you on! drunk kisses > )

he gets better and better at kissing every time you do it. he’s not very emotional but he’s passionate, if that makes sense?

when you’re kissing he doesnt administer alot of touch himself but he loves it when you touch him. he lets you run your hands all over his chest, it makes him groan.

when he DOES touch you, its usually your thighs.

despite all the kissing, he’s actually very cautious about going any further with you, because he knows you’ve never been fucked by anyone before. in the first few weeks, he sticks to hot makeout sessions with you.

he used to tease you for being ugly when you disliked eachother, he never meant it, by the damage it did to your confidence meant you never pursued a relationship before him so you’re really a virgin in every aspect. (slay tho <3)

draco doesn’t do dates really. he likes to keep you all to himself, he’s selfish like that. so he usually invites you to the slytherin common room, and takes you up to his dorm.

he banishes the goons from the dorm to spend time with you because he knows they make you uneasy.

he really cherishes quality time over anything, that’s his love language. he doesn’t have to be kissing you the whole time, sitting beside you whilst you read is enough for him. he’s enamoured with your presence.

he’s always been enamoured with your presence, even when he pretended to hate you.

draco is quite a grumpy boyfriend. not mean. just moody. he doesnt like other people. he especially doesnt like harry potter. or anything about any of the gryffindors. you pay it no heed, you just find it cute.

he takes things further one day and you let him eat you out. he doesnt do this alot. hes mostly a receiver.

he’s really dirty when he wants to be, its the fault of his smirk, it makes him look even dirtier.

draco is heavy on the dirty talking and teasing, after all your relationship begun because of his unremitting teasing.

so when he’s licking your pussy, he’s doing it whilst smirking and cooing annoyingly because of how red your face is going.

he gets really hard because its his first time going further than kissing with you. youre the first girl that hes had feelings for as well, so it makes it unreal for him. he gets so hard he has to ask you to suck his dick.

he doesnt beg you though! his voice is cool and nonchalant like it always is.

instead of cumming in your mouth, he comes all over your pussy because he likes how it looks.

when you two finish, he isn’t one for cuddling, but he lets you lay beside him in his arm, and fall asleep on his chest.

when its time for you to go back to your dorm, he folds all of your things up for you, stacks all of your books. hes weirdly a neat-freak.

when you aren’t hanging out on his bed, you’re watching his quidditch games.

one day he has a bad fall and ends up in the hospital wing, with his arm in a sling. typical draco!

he’s a hypochondriac lol!

you drop your studies to sit with him. he grumbles profusely about the pain and the sling. he loves complaining.

you shut him up by kissing him, which makes his expression harden because you two werent public about your relationship yet. but you dont care.

when he’s injured in hospital he lets you groom his hair for him. he cares alot about his appearance. its a frequent occurance. because hes not one for skinship its how you feel close to him.

he warms to the idea of cuddling a bit, but when he does he prefers to be spooned rather than spoon you. and he always does it under the blanket so no one could accidentally see.

he’s a tall, protective boyfriend. he usually wards “threats” away with rude, witty comments, or dirty looks. he doesnt care. you’re his.

when you’re in public, he stands behind you w his hands on your shoulders so he can protect you at all times if he needs to.

he gradually becomes more comfortable being emotional around you. not emotional as in sad or cloying but. he smiles more. not big cheeky smiles, but small ones you notice when you catch him off gaurd.

he kisses you alot before bed, you start sleeping over in his bed in the slytherin dorm, you get away with it because he becomes a prefect.

he kisses the top of your head and your hands/fingertips the most. you’re precious to him, that’s how he conveys it.

after a few weeks of sleeping in his bed, he makes the ultimate move on you and fucks you for the first time. “making-love” is a bit cringe in dracos opinion, he is draco malfoy after all. but it isnt senseless fucking.

he loves the power imbalance of you getting onto your knees for him and sucking his dick. like i said, hes a receiver!

he puts his big, pale hand in your hair and bounces it harshly on his dick. he doesnt make you choke on it though, he doesnt like that.

he actually doesnt fuck you in his bed, the first time. you both get so carried away that he takes you against the wall. from all angles. behind. from the front.

it’s rough, desperate fucking. youve never been fucked before. its such a new and overwhelming feeling. youve been pining for eachother for so long.

he cums all over your pretty pussy again, but not inside it (obvs) and admires it for a while whilst catching his breath.

you start crying after! it was such an intense experience that you get a bit… worried? overwhelmed? it’s not serious crying but you need some softness.

draco isn’t always the best person to rely on for softness but he knows that you need it right now after the way he’d just fucked you.

you cuddle properly for the first time. all naked and sticky (draco HATES that, but he doesnt mind tonight bc its you) and he kisses your head over and over.

hes not big on aftercare usually. but hes patient with you tonight. he lets you sleep off the feeling, and wear his big, boxy school shirt whilst you do so. it smells of him. you love it.

you love him.

he loves you too, hes thinking.

but you don’t tell each other just yet ;)

Oh lordy is there bad things going down across the VTuber space right now so I’m gonna try and unpack them for ease of comprehension.

Real quick: A VTuber is essentially just a regular livestreamer but instead of a facecam they have a custom model (usually made of layered images but also often a full 3D object) that tracks their face and such. Big tiddy anime girl representation to say the least but it’s a very creative space.

Next: Silvervale, Silver for short. Silver is one such big tiddy anime (wolf) girl, who is part of a corporate group of VTubers called VShojo. I probably don’t need to describe much more for the purposes of this post.

Hogwarts Legacy is a video game based in the bigotry-entrenched universe of the Harry Potter franchise by notorious face-of-transphobia Joanne K. Rowling. Since its announcement in 2018, trans individuals and groups have quite rightly highlighted numerous ethical and moral problems with the game ranging from the inherent bigotry of the setting, to the involvement of literal far-right YouTubers in its development, to just the basic stuff like its success greenlighting further instalments all while Rowling pockets royalties to (expressly) further fund her anti-trans projects (which includes her writing Literally being read into record to quash things like the Equality Act).

The general advice, which would be true regardless of your actual thoughts on the game or franchise, was to just not play it. That way Rowling makes less money, fewer future games are made, and nobody gets hurt as a result. You end your day $60 better off that you can spend on some other big game that isn’t basically radioactive.

To say the Video Gamers did not take that advice well would be an understatement, but things get really ugly when a streamer who otherwise professes to creating a calm and friendly atmosphere, who makes claims to being an ally, gives in and plays the Wizard Game. I’m not going to say that people haven’t been harassed for playing it, almost certainly someone has, but I just don’t have the data to be certain that it goes much further than just posting “trans rights” in chat.

Enter Silvervale. Despite half a decade of advance warning that she shouldn’t play this game, she played it anyway. Live on camera. The community she’d fostered for years didn’t take this well either, and the stream ended early amid purported harassment from the chat. Silver wasn’t the first VTuber to play the Wizard Game, but she was one of the first English-speaking ones.

Things could have just quietly ended there, but Silver then returned to streaming with more of the game and a statement that she had been “harassed” by “freaks and degenerates” on Twitter. Not her best choice of words, but the damage was done.

Because of the 5-year leadup to the Wizard Game releasing, the right-wing mob had already noticed the controversy around it and had made Huge investments into buying and promoting the game as well as spewing vitriol against anyone who even slightly suggested that doing so was in poor taste. They naturally then flocked to Silver’s defense and, following her unfortunate description of “marginalised people making their discomfort known as they had declared they would Years in advance” using language straight from 1930s Germany, started directly attacking any streamer who voiced their intent not to play the game however detailed their reasoning.

As a brief aside, there’s some confusion over how Silver’s chat moderation is set up, seemingly blocking such phrases as “trans rights are human rights”. Some say it’s an overzealous automod, others that her moderators are actually blocking the phrases, it’s unclear and not hugely worth focusing on here. But I mention it because it’s one of the common points made as people state their side on this issue.

This has essentially made Silver the face of transphobic bigotry in the VTuber community, whether or not she actually considers herself aligned with such bigots. Multiple smaller and independent trans VTubers have completely stopped streaming because of the bile being spewed at them by people with the likes of #IStandWithSilver in their bios. The overlaps between accounts on social media posting in her defense and numerous far-right hate movements is as undeniable as it is unpleasant to catalogue.

And boy that’s just the foundation of this whole sorry affair.

Another VTuber who is part of the same company as Silver, VShojo, is Apricot (more commonly called Froot). Froot not only decided to vocally not play the Wizard Game, but to post a tweet saying that she would personally donate to UK trans children’s charity Mermaids for every like the tweet received. She added that her brother is trans and she supports him immensely.

So the bigots that leapt to Silver’s defense very predictably started calling Froot a paedophile and child groomer, which is more or less what they label every pro-trans individual ever these days. Froot had to lock replies on her charity post and her post about her brother as a result, though the tweets remain up.

Most recently, a third peer in VShojo called Ironmouse came to Silver’s defense specifically in opposition to the alleged harassment she received which, again, anyone could have seen coming in the last 5 years by googling the Steam page for this game.

And honestly, at this point, whatever actually happened to Silver in that first stream is completely irrelevant because she’s become the rallying cry of people who actively want to exterminate the entire trans community from cradle to grave and literally beyond. And so much of it could be resolved or at least get the wind out of its sails if she took 5 minutes to just apologise for and disavow everything that happened in her name after she decided to keep playing the Wizard Game.

But, and I say this with no disrespect to Silver, I’m not holding my breath.

Hiiii!!

Can I get a friends to lovers scenario with some of the Harry Potter boys (particularly George Weasley and Remus Lupin if you do those two characters ❤️❤️)? Any specifics will do, I’m just a sucker for the trope. Please and Thank you!!!

George Weasley - Friends to Lovers Trope HCs

I know you guys are looking for probably actual writing but right now making bulleted headcanons are just so much easier on me and my melting brain, so for now, take this semi detailed scenario hcs about being friends to lovers with George :))

I'm so sorry I'm advance!! these really are just me rambling about how I think it would go,,, I hope y'all enjoy,,

I promise I'll actually write something better for this soon

•So friends to lovers with the one and only George Weasley. Honestly I see this trope as like,,, you're just best friends with him and he's the one to fall first. And believe me, he falls HARD.

•This man doesn't fall easily for people. At least, not like this. Sure he's had a few fling crushes here and there that he might have hyper fixated on a tiny bit just because he craves the attention. HOWEVER - once he realizes he's falling for his best friend? He's a mess.

•One day he was just listening to you talk to him, Fred, Lee and Angelina and all of a sudden when you laughed about something stupid he said? It made him feel different. It pulled at his heartstrings in the most beautiful way that he was almost sure he imagined it because you never stirred up this reaction out of him before?? So he was very confused.

•No doubt he tried to brush it off but as time went on in the span of the 30 minutes you and everyone else was chatting in the Commons, it dawned on him.

•O h. I'm gaining feelings for my best friend.

•Insert him excusing himself to go do… something else. Probably go try to work on WWW inventions or something. He just needed to take a quick breather and distraction. Everyone thought it was normal but Fred could sense something was off with his twin. So he followed after him? He went to their dorm to see George kind of flustered and freaking out and asked what was wrong.

•Naturally, George is great with words /sar so what ended up coming out of his mouth? Complete gibberish. Fred normally could understand his brother's incessant ramblings but not this time.

•"Woah Georgie, slow down. I can't understand you when you're spilling your words all over the floor like this." He normally would have tried to make light of the situation and he still does. Thankfully, George was able to actually get out what he was trying to say.

•"I think - I think I might be falling for them!"

•Que Fred laughing. Also que George punching him in the arm while yelling "BLOODY HELL FRED THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!!"

•Oh but it is. He knew his brother was rather soft when it came to the mushy feelings of romance, but he didn't think he was this bad.

•So naturally Fred has to talk him through processing these feelings (not that he could really handle his own feelings if he ever liked someone like his twin is currently)

•They're both horrible with their feelings. Despite having a big family, I don't think Molly really was there to help them process their own feelings due to having their younger siblings to take care of. And you know Arthur was always working so it was quite literally just the two of them. Not that they don't appreciate their family but c'mon now.

•ANYWAYS I'm getting off track here. George eventually figures out his feelings and yes, its very apparent he feels something for you.

•So he and Fred try to plan accordingly about how to bring it up to you. But you're so… you. George doesn't want to mess whatever you guys have up.

•I will say however that you've noticed him acting a bit different. So the plan the twins had goes out the window once you confront and ask George about his behavior in the next coming weeks.

•He cracks, because he just can't lie to you! Not when you're looking at him like that. So he ends up spilling a confession of which almost gets missed by how hesitant and quiet he gets.

•Thankfully your ears work (unlike mine lmao) and you take his confession in pride. You tell him you appreciate it (which he swears he's about to be rejected just because of those words alone-) but then you tell him that you'd be willing to try. Because recently you had started to see him in a different light.

•He's ecstatic tbh and SO relieved. Like when I tell you he let out the biggest sigh of relief? I MEAN IT.

•This is how your relationship with him starts. Yeah it's a little messy, but not in a bad way! George has next to no idea what he's doing because he REALLY does care for you and he doesn't want to let you down or hurt you.

•Just be patient with him, okay? I promise he makes it all worth it <33

james sirius potter - the star boy

·˚ ༘ just some headcanons on what I think harry potter's eldest son would be like

·˚ ༘ 1.4k words

- he's a big marvel fan and he lovess miles morales (he literally wants to be him), if he had a girlfriend he'd beg her to go as miles and gwen for halloween. literally don't talk to him about any superhero stuff though, he'll talk your ear off he's such a fanboy and gets like a little kid whenever he talks about batman, spiderman or captain america.

- he's extremely popular like almost ridiculously so. he has a huge friend group and everyone except maybe for the slytherins like and respect him. nobody says that they don't like james sirius potter and if anyone within the gryffindor house would even utter one bad word about him, they would definitely be frowned upon

- some say he's like a carbon copy of his father, because they're so similar in so many aspects (they're both sassy boys).

- OH he's absolutely a fuck boy. there's not a single doubt in my mind that he is. he's not against having a girlfriend but she'd definitely have to be super popular as well and stand out from the masses. he'd never date someone shy or introverted, since he's like "if the word 'extroverted' was a person" if you know what I mean. he just wants somebody to match his freak and do crazy irresponsible shit with. he's also the type of person who loves to go out & socialize so he'd need to date somebody who's also like that. he also needs to release the pent up energy inside him so staying in all of the time just isn't an option for him. but he would have introverted friends.

- he likes to make out with hot girls at parties and forget their name in the morning. he likes to drink and sometimes smoke as well. he's the life of the party, always animating everyone to dance and drink and play games, always doing smalltalk with everyone and remembering little details about them but forgetting the big things (like their name lmao). he's a beer pong champion and in general really good at all the party games. he's just like a party animal

- he always knows the right things to say at the right time and people adore him for it. he genuinely cares about everyone in his year, even the slytherin outcasts. if he sees someone crying or hurt he doesn't care who you are or which house you're in, he's cheering you up

- he likes to be the center of attention. whenever his dad is followed by paparazzi or journalists, he makes a show out of talking to them, posing for the cameras until he's pulled away by ginny. she's honestly so done with him by now because he's such a sucker for attention lmaoo. but then he ends up in like famous wizard magazines (even the daily prophet) and he just has the biggest, most smug grin on his face when he sees his picture, it definitely encourages him to keep giving the paparazzi what they want

- he's also a family guy even if he doesn't get along with albus that well. he loves his little sister lily though and his mom and his dad. christmas with his family is his favorite thing because he loves their little traditions. he always puts great care in what he gets eveyone as a present and he loves it when lily's face lights up when he gets her that exact thing she wanted. he also loves his grandmother (slayy grandma molly) and he always proudly wears the sweaters that she knits him! the whole weasley-potter-delacour and whatnot family always has a big get-together ont the 25th or 26th of december and that's where james whips out his guitar and performs the christmas songs he's been working on perfecting all season.

- he lovesss quidditch and dancing and he'd actually be the type to start kpop dancing or something and he'd be AMAZING like actually breathtaking. he's the only thing you can look at while he performs on stage, he's just the golden boy. he'd go to training like everyday when he's at home and while he's at school he'd practice on his own! he really looks up to celestia warbeck and wants to be the male version of her when he's older! definitely he's really dedicated and I can imagine him being in like a boy group when he's older or going on to be a solo performer

- he can also sing and play the guitar, bro writes his own songs! his voice is the one of an angel and whenever he sings at a gryffindor bonfire or party, the whole room is drawn to him, falls for him. he dreams of being an entertainer or professional quidditch player later in his life and he's honestly made for it as well. the scouts who watch him play or dance always eat whatever he does up. he's literally destined to be a superstar, plus he also has great advantages from being a nepo baby.

- he's not that good at school though, except maybe for flying class and some random subject like divination (let's be honest, only because he flirts with professor trelawney), he'll just get some ravenclaw girl to tutor him though

- he's the type to take feminist literature to a café and pretend he's reading it lmaoo. it's not like he's not a feminist or doesn't support women's rights (he loves women), the boy just doesn't read books, like at all. he just wants to pick up women with the feminist literature and he'll pretend like he's read the book.

- honestly he'd even listen to lana del ray or taylor swift and he's not embarrased or scared he'll be seen as gay or soft. he knows he's straight (maybe even a little heteroflexible) and cis and he doesn't feel threatened in his masculinity when a gay boy comes and flirts with him, he sees it as an honour and politely declines, I mean, he even has gay friends and gay cousins and bro let's be honest, even though he isn't out yet, his brother's definitely a bit fruity for his best friend scorpius. he's not scared of rumours about his identity or sexuality, people can misinterpret him, he literally doesn't care.

- unbothered king!! you either love him or you hate him but he literally doesn't care, he can be so nonchalant and can definitely break a girl's heart cause he literally DOES NOT CARE TUT and he's definitely gotten himself into a lot of situationships (like I said, he's a fuckboy) but he will only ever get with a girl he is in love with, he doesn't just bring any girl home to his momma, she'd have to be special

- apropos, he is such a mama's boy! not like those boys who's momma is in love with them and hates every girlfriend their son brings home, no, that's obviously not ginny, but he just honestly loves his mom! he likes to go shopping with her and lily or go get their nails done with them (yes, he also loves those pretty nails with designs, not the long acrylic ones obviously but the short ones. he practically advanced from just painting his nails black to getting designs on them)

- the best way to be in james' life is honestly to either be one of his cousins or friends. his friends are literally like family to him and he's so loyal to them. also he's such a fun friend and always comes up with the best ideas, it's never boring with him. he's also open to doing so many different things, depending on what his freinds are like. if you're introverted and like staying in, he'll literally just do that with you and yes, he'll even watch gossip girl and do face masks, he doesn't mind, he just likes spending time with his friends. he'll enjoy whatever he does as long as its with a friend. and if you're one of his cousins he'll literally treat you like a sibling / best friend because all of his cousins are his best friends

- he's sooo generous and caring. you haven't eaten all day and feel like you're about to die from starvation? have his entire sandwich and let him bring you a plate of food from the house elves kitchen to your room. you feel like throwing up? bbg he'll hold your hair while you're puking and give you back rubs. you don't have anything to do in the summer holidays? come with him on the potter family holiday to spain! he literally just wants his loved ones to be happy and he'll do anything for their happiness

y'all want more?

Please note there is mention of Harry Potter, I (JIG) know the author/books are triggering to some, so please do not take offense to this, I just feel like the books would have been some read by one family member in particular wayyyyy before all the unsavory details came out.

Also, a lot of these books are my personal favorites, or they are books I actually dislike immensely…so my selfship kids liking them makes me laugh 😂.

Zach: As a child I was always partial to The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams and the Peter Rabbit books by Beatrix Potter. I also loved How The Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. As a tween/teenager, I liked the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, the Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Ender’s Game Saga by Orson Scott Card. Now that I’m an adult, I’d have to say The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and 1984 by George Orwell are probably my favorite novels. 

Violet/JIG: As a little girl my favorite book was The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss, there was just something about the “here comes pig feet” line that cracked me up, I also adored Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco. As a tween I loved Grandpa’s Mountain by Carolyn Reeder and the American Girls Books. As a teen and adult I’d say my favorite books were/are Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter (the best nonfiction book I’ve ever read), Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, The Fear Street Series by RL Stine, and anything by Mary Downing Hahn.

Varina: As a child my favorite books were Winnie-the-Pooh stories, my mom had an entire collection her parents collected for her and she read them to me and all my siblings! I also loved A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon, the Mr. Putter and Tabby books by Cynthia Rylant, and the Amelia Bedelia books by Peggy Parish. As a tween I enjoyed The Tale of Despereaux and the American Girls books. As an adult/teen my favorite books were/are Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, The Magic of Ordinary Days by Ann Howard Creel, and I adore any romance novel by Nicholas Sparks. 

Vera: When I was a little girl I loved the Fancy Nancy books by Jane O'Connor, any and all princess books, the Biscuit books by Alyssa Satin Capucilli, and the Junie B. Jones Books by Barbara Park. As a tween I read the American Girl books, but only I enjoyed a few of the series, Samantha was my absolute favorite! I also loved The Secret Garden and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and The Wish by Gail Carsen Levine. My favorite books during my teenage years, and as an adult, are The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, any of William Shakespeare’s plays (Romeo and Juliet is my favorite), and Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. 

Victor: When I was little my favorite book was Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, my favorite book series was Curious George by Margret and H. A. Rey. During my tween years I read any Goosebumps book by RL Stein I could get my hands on, I also read all The Chronicles of Narnia books by C.S. Lewis, and A Series of Unfortunate Events books by Lemony Snicket.  My favorite book as a teenager was The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, and my favorite book series as a teenager were Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs and the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. My all time favorite book as an adult is Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer.

Vallen: The Wonky Donkey by Craig Smith was my favorite book as a kid, it was freaking hilarious, and the sequel was almost as good. I also loved the Clifford books by Norman Bridwell as a kid, and the No David books by David Shannon. As a tween I read a bunch of the Goosebumps books by RL Stine. Victor and I were in competition to see who could read the most, he won of course, the dedicated bookworm. In my teenage years and into adulthood my favorites have become The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, The Giver Quartet by Lois Lowry, and The Wayward Pines Trilogy by Blake Crouch.

Victoria: When I was a little girl I loved all of the Eric Carle books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar being my favorite! I also loved all the Little Golden Books, I think my favorite one was My Little Golden Book About God by Jane Werner Watson. Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White, Each Little Bird that Sings by Deborah Wiles, and the Little House on the Prairie Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder were my favorite books during my tween years. As a teenager I enjoyed reading the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children book series by Ransom Riggs and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. As an adult I’d say my favorite books are Wish You Well by David Baldacci or Go Down the Mountain by Meredith Battle.

can i ask what you like about harry potter since it's your first time reading it? i was obsessed with those books as a kid, and i always like to hear what first time readers think of the series. do you have a favorite character? a favorite book so far? i'd love to hear your thoughts!

I only just finished the Prisoner of Azkaban and it was my favorite so far! I really like it so far. Dumbledore was my favorite character because I like how he knows what Harry and his friends are up to, and he orchestrates events so that they are able to set things right. Then it was Neville Longbottom, after the poor kid stood up to Harry and Ron and Hermione when they were breaking the rules.

But then I encountered a very kind Dark Arts teacher, after the previous two horrible Dark Arts teachers, and like the first thing he did was be kind to Neville Longbottom. And everyone who's kind to Neville Longbottom makes me instantly happy. And then the more I learned about him and compared how HE was behaving to other Professors who catch Harry in the act of doing something dangerous, the more I decided Professor Lupin is my favorite character. I also like the brotherly relationships that make characters have in the series. You don't see that too often anymore. Nowadays, close male characters are either gay or not that close.

We'll see if he remains my favorite!

The thing I don't like about the books is how, other than Dumbledore, there seems to be a pattern of adults being wrong, and unable to do the things that the kids do to save the day. And the kids keep having to break rules and endanger themselves and lie, and then the narrative rewards all of that. There's quite a lot of "we can't trust the adults, we know better than them" in the actions of the characters.

But that's why I like Neville, who wins the house cup for Gryffindor after the first book's events just by doing the right thing and obeying the rules with the information he had, even when it was hard and his only friends were telling him to shut up and leave them alone. And that's why I like Dumbledore, who so far kind of stands in as a "higher power" who knows everything and orchestrates events so that the kids work everything out (though he obviously still has a lot of humanizing moments too.)

So far I think the characters with the most depth are the ones she's not writing about that much. Like Lupin and Black and Pettigrew and James Potter. But I've heard the series "grows up with its readers," so maybe Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, all those main characters will have more depth as I keep reading.

I think the way she sets up her climaxes are really good. Like how a tiny detail, like a regular colorful description of how ragged Scavbers the rat looks includes the fact that he's missing a toe, just in passing, fits so perfectly in with the big reveal that Peter Pettigrew is also missing a finger later on. But in the moment, her foreshadowing doesn't look like foreshadowing; it just looks like color added to the story.

My least favorite thing, also, is that I'll keep expecting one of the main trio to have an emotional or character-revealing response to something, and then sometimes they just...don't. Like Hermione doesn't really react one way or another to the prejudice against mudbloods in Chamber of Secrets. Even if her character is one that doesn't mind what bullies say, or she's so logical that she doesn't give a silly thing like prejudice a second thought...the perspective of Harry could've noticed that. He could've made an observation about it, so that we would know that's definitely the kind of girl she is. Or, she could've freaked out about it, or gradually shown embarrassment or self consciousness about it. But she doesn't really do anything noticeable in response to this major plot point. So it feels more like there's no intentional depth to her character.

Which I know is probably not true, because she's out work into characters like Dumbledore and Snape, so I know Rowling can write characters with depth. I don't know.

Anyway, those are my thoughts! I've seen no movies and interacted with the "fandom" zip, zero, not at all.

[greenerteacups]

I think you're the first person I see that points out Emma's "eyebrow heavy performance" without making fun of her lol It's easy to take it for granted now, but I honestly think she did a good enough job with Hermione. The eyebrow thing does get excessive sometimes, especially in OoTP, but I like how expressive it makes Hermione. That girl cannot be subtle, bless her.

I used to think she was better at portraying Hermione in the earlier movies than the later ones and my opinion only changed when I rewatched them with my younger brother recently. I was like 11 when DH movie released and of course that dummy (affectionate) would not appreciate the more subtle work of portraying traumatized teenagers who were being hunted in a freaking war. 18yo seemeed sooooo grown up to me at the time lol. The only movie I don't really like is HBP. I hate that yellow filter and everything was so awkward, but not in the fun way.

Anyway I just dumped an unsolicited rant on you. Sorry. Here's a question tho: what's your favorite and least favorite HP book? And favorite/ least favorite HP movie?

YELLOW HALF-BLOOD PRINCE I LOVE YOU YELLOW HALF-BLOOD PRINCE... they saw everyone complaining about the blue-grey 2000's color grading of GOF and OOTP and they said "fine. FINE. you want a warm filter? we'll GIVE you a warm filter. now everything looks like a tennis ball. are you happy?"

I sympathize completely with Watson's job in the middle-films, because charting the course from "precocious nerd child" to "battle-hardened soldier steering her friends through a war" is (no shit) kind of hard. So Watson plays her as very direct and earnest. That works as one of many interpretations you could make of Hermione's character. There's not really any darkness in Watson's Hermione, but that suits Radcliffe's Harry and Grint's Ron — Grint is, I think, the actor who's trying hardest to bring a realistic Edge to some of these war-hardened teenagers, and I love him for that — but in general, the movie's Golden Trio are very soft babies, and it's sweet.

My favorite book is Goblet of Fire (tournament arc I love youuuuuu tournament arc), and my least favorite is a toss-up between Deathly Hallows and Philosopher's Stone. The latter for reasons that are not its fault, it's just much more of a children's book than any of the others. Great children's book! That shit went crazy hard when I was a child. But nowadays, not my cuppa. Put it this way: I would rather read DH than PS, but in terms of antipathy, I also have a lot more beef with DH as a text.

My favorite movie is Prisoner of Azkaban. It's fucking gorgeous and it's a crime they let Cuarón after he delivered something Like That. it actually feels like an enchanted setting — the camera lavishes attention on all these little details that make Hogwarts and Hogsmeade feel lived-in. It's the only film that I'd recommend to someone who wasn't a Harry Potter fan, and I mean that.

July 2023: AO3 Wrapped 🎁🍊

A monthly roundup of *some* of my favorite fics of the year.

January | February | March | April, May, June | July | August | September | October | November | December

A Saviour’s Guide to Manners and Decorum by @wolfpants (E, 13K)

Honorary Minister Harry Potter (yes, he's fully aware his job title is meaningless, and he quite likes it that way) is a disaster at public events.

Listen, if there's two things I will never, ever, ever get enough of it is etiquette lessons and longing. This fic is perfect to me.

Everybody Hates a Tourist by @wolfpants (E, 51K)

On a stag do in sunny Brighton with the Gryffindor lads, the last person Harry expects to run into is Draco Malfoy.

Started reading this at night and went, sorry, sleep, you aren't happening. Could not rest until I finished it. The most beautiful discovery of love and oneself.

Fledgling by @tackytigerfic (G, 3K) 

Two young dads meet at a farmers market. They exchange parenting tips, longing looks, and root vegetables.

This is so very, very lovely in a chaotic (newborns!!), achingly sweet way. In my head this is "*The* Drarry dads fic."

heaven to gaudy day by @maesterchill (M, 809)

Istanbul. The morning after the night before. And Malfoy's in a mood.

Under 1000 words of pure gorgeousness.

I only want the ones I envy (I envy) by @porcelainheart3 (E, 13K)

Despite this arrangement he has with Draco, conducted entirely in the privacy of a dusty stationery cabinet, Harry is definitely not gay. But to appease his friends, he agrees to go on one (1) date with a man. Just to be sure.

ABSOLUTE TREAT, SUPREME BANGER. A confection of a fic -- the dialogue, the details, all adding up to a densely-packed, seven layer slice of dessert.

Muscle Memory by @corvuscrowned (E, 8K) 

There's something just beneath the surface, just at the periphery of Harry's mind. They've been here before — they've done this before. If only he could remember it.

I think this has my favorite last line of a fic all year. Maybe ever. This is exactly the kind of narratively layered, brilliant and beautifully captivating fic that Crow has done so well so many times. A gift.

Rich Friend by @sorrybutblog (E, 19K)

As far as Harry can tell, Draco Malfoy is still rich as hell. He’s just not a wizard anymore. Featuring: Draco Malfoy trying to make it as a Muggle pop star, Harry Potter as our confused and horny hero, bad driving, good music, and the mysterious magic of falling for someone.

LKSJ:FLKJSD. I mean, this is a perfect Harry POV fic, the most believable Drarry dynamic in the midst of a fic about Draco as a Muggle pop star named Dragon, the "I'm with the band" fic I didn't know I needed. I love it with my whole soul.

Sun Thief by @floydig, (E, 28K)

It’s 2005, and Draco Malfoy says, “Fuck the Ministry,” Harry works as a handyman in muggle London, and Draco should really stop pissing off the Squib gangs.

Bracingly original, thrilling to read, does not hold the reader's hand at all and just throws you into it -- fantastic.

Waking Up Slow by @sweet-s0rr0w (E, 22K)

'Twas the night before Christmas, although it’s July/Draco’s a shopkeeper, no-one knows why/There’s hiking and witch caves, freak snowfalls and more/Bad Christmas jumpers, nosy neighbours galore/Narcissa’s here too, but… something’s amiss/And what’s in those chocolates that’s making them kiss?

No one can make me SEE a fic the way Sweet does. The writing in this is so tangibly gorgeous, the love story is so tender and sweet and funny and lovely. The most charming of fics.

Writer Interview Game

Thanks for the tag, @brabblesblog!!

When did you start writing?

I started writing in fifth grade when one of my favorite teachers I've ever had set a short story assignment, but I didn't truly fall in love with it until sixth grade, when - for a poetry memorization assignment - I discovered a book full of Edgar Allan Poe poems and short stories. I memorized the whole of The Raven for the assignment and pretty much became obsessed with his works. Poe's writing was the spark to my writing flame, and he is my favorite author to this day.

Are there different themes or genres you enjoy reading than what you write?

I loooove reading adventure fantasy. I'd love to write adventure fantasy too, but I'm not confident enough in my world building just yet. Eragon, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Inkheart, The Hunger Games, Gothikana, Cirque Du Freak, etc. I love it!

Is there a writer you want to emulate or get compared to often?

As previously stated, I would love to emulate Poe. He's my inspiration and pretty much the reason I started writing for more than school assignments. I haven't ever been compared to another writer before, except in the spirit of spite, so I've got nothing there. haha

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

Anywhere I feel I can tuck away. I have a spot on my couch with a blanket, my laptop, and a spot for my coffee. I have my multiple soft blankets on my bed and a pillow to prop my Kindle on for ambience and music, and my side table - for my coffee, of course. But I've also written curled up in my seat on a bus driving through the Scottish Highlands, as well as in a corner seat in a hotel lobby in York, England, and in a little bookstore nook in London. I write where I feel inspired, however or whenever that may be.

What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse?

Mustering it up myself is not often an option for me. My ADHD brain seeks dopamine where it can, but anyone with a dopamine deficiency will tell you that it's not an easy feat. lol But I always feel my most inspired before and during thunderstorms, or when I go to a location that excites me. I love abandoned places, cozy coffee shops, old libraries or bookstores, and castles/cathedrals. They give me a rush of energy which helps propel me to write. Hopefully once I get my physical health sorted, I'll be able to travel more, and therefore write more as well!

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

I want my readers to know just by reading my writing that I come from my heart. Everything I write is a part of and an extension of me, and I put care and consideration into every word that ends up on the page once I publish. I want them to be able to feel that my work is a labor of love in every word.

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

I think scene setting and narration is probably my strength. I'm someone who is very detail-oriented in everything I do, and I tend to do more narration than anything else. Over the years I've been forcing myself to write more dialogue-based pieces just so I could practice getting better at it. So uh... hopefully I eventually do. lol

How do you feel about your own writing?

I'm of two minds about it most of the time. When I don't settle into my "writing trance", which is where words are essentially flowing out of me without anything to hinder them, I'm not too fond of it. When I am forced to kind of slug through the words until I have a flow, I usually don't like what comes out or how it sounds, and it takes me much longer. The writing trance happens very rarely, but when it does happen, it's amazing. I usually really enjoy what comes out of those moments.

When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, or do you write purely for yourself, or a mix of both?

It's definitely a mix of both, because often times I garner inspiration from what others get excited by. I know that when others get excited about what I'm doing, I'm far more likely to be excited about it too, and my excitement is essential to me even hoping to finish something. But on the flip side, I will also write things that I feel like will only mean something to me, but they end up meaning a lot to others as well. I feel as though that's somewhat of the human experience: sharing the things we accomplish through the insistence of our hearts. When we share and are received positively, we are inspired to continue sharing.

The vision of the future - Neville Longbotton x reader

Summary: the day before you go with your brother and his friends in search of the horcruxes you leave The Burrow to fulfill your promise. All for love, right?

Words: 3k?

Notes - this was written in an outbreak of inspiration. I think I used the word 'you' a lot, but okay. ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE. If you have seen any errors please let me know. Many terms change when it comes to translating. Please don't steal my work. She may not be amazing, but she's mine.

GIF IS NOT MINE

Harry wasn't just freaking out. He was going crazy.

It was the day before Fleur and Bill's wedding and his 17th birthday with his twin sister, S/N Potter. For him it was a normal day at The Burrow. He woke up to the sound of Ron snoring and Mrs. Weasley who was already begun preparations to welcome the Delacur family.

Following his routine of every summer vacation he spent with the Weasley family he got up, woke Up Rony, who, as always, just grumbled and went back to sleep, went to the bathroom, began brushing his teeth and soon after heard Molly waking Ron up with her special way of mother. After he went down to meet with the rest of the family, Hermione and mainly his sister to define the last details of his search the horcruxes.

But when he reached the end of the stairs and realized that everyone was quiet something had happened. There was never a moment of silence in the Weasley house. Even with the start of the war, the conversation never stopped at the house. Taking a closer look at the table he realized his sister wasn't there.

-Where's s/n? - Your sister always woke up earlier than he did. Something had happened. Harry felt his hands begin to shake as he squeezed the railing of the lair more.

Everyone at the table looked in between and then directed their gaze at the matriarch. Harry raised his face and found Molly wide-eyed looking at the older twin as a child catches stealing candy.

-Harry, she's fine, she's just-

-Mrs. Weasley, where did she go?

-Harry, I, I can't tell you. - The older woman held on to the edge of the table like a lifeline, afraid she had made a bad decision.

-BUT, but where did she go???- Harry needed to control himself. He didn't want to yell at Mrs. Weasley, the woman who was practically a mother to him.

She kept quiet. The boy looked at Hermione. 'She always has the answers,' he thought, 'she can tell me that.'

-Hermione? - the girl was startled when her name was said. Harry's voice had thickened substantially in seconds because of nervousness and concern.

-I don't know, Harry. I swear! When Ginny and I woke up, she wasn't in her room. Her bed was fixed and all things are still there. - Hermione was afraid that her friend wouldn't believe her, but it was the truth. When she woke up and didn't see the younger Potter her heart went off. And when she went down the stairs and saw Mrs. Weasley preparing breakfast with more nervousness than anything she knew S/N had done something stupid.

Ginny shook his head confirming everything the older girl was talking about. She knew she couldn't open her mouth to talk. She was so nervous about the boy in front of her that she felt like when she was 11 and liked the Elect.

-Harry, I'm so sorry. I can't tell you where she went. But she's coming back! It's okay, she promised to come back before 9:00 p.m! - Mrs. Weasley says walking slowly towards Harry. - I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let her go, but I promise she didn't do anything wrong! She's safe. -

Harry was paralyzed. Where would your sister have gone? She couldn't leave like that! Not to mention where she would go and most of all, abandoning him.

-Why is Harry already yelling? and what's happening to you?- Ron says down the stairs.

------------------------------‐----------------------------------------------

You knew it was a stupid idea. you knew when you came back, you wouldn't have to face just your brother's anger. But of the whole Weasley family, hermione and all the aurochs who would arrive the next day. Especially Remus's anger.

But you had to. You had promised him that you would. And even if there was no promise you needed to see him before you went out to kill an old man with no nose.

It was 8 a.m. By that time Harry would have woken up and freaked out. But you'd face the consequences later.

Neville and his grandmother spent most of their time in a small house in London to be more close to Frank and Alice. But with the return of the death eaters Augusta she chose to live in his son's and daughter-in-law old house. The gate key sent you near a cliff. The sea breeze while calming you made you more nervous, bringing back memories of not long ago, when you, your brother and Dumbledore went  after one of Tom Riddle's horcruxes.

Shaking the gloomy memory you went towards the house. The whole house and surroundings reminded Nev. The variety of plants calmed his heart. It didn't even seem like that moment could be the last with him.

Upon reaching the end of the hill you saw the boy sitting on the thoughtful porch. He was startled by the sudden movement and he stood up sharply with the wand in his hand, until he realized it was you.  Cautiously you  approached each other.

-Hi, I, um, what did I say to you after Professor Dumbledore's funeral?- he says remembering that it could be a death eater that had taken a polyjuice potion.

-I don't want to lose you like I lost my parents- - - Neville relaxed the wand and ran to meet you hugging you. Automatically with the contact you relaxed. At that moment it didn't matter at all. That was his safe place, the only place that mattered.

By walking away and giving a better look at your beloved you realized how much the boy had lost weight. His eyes was snare bottoms, probably to spend days without sleep. His hair was large, almost reaching the tip of his nose.

- Hi my love -- - he says sniffing

-Hey, baby. How are you doing?  Are you asleep? I can see that. How's your grandma? Is it all right? -  you started talking by bombarded the boy while you were holding his face. It didn't feel real.

- I'm fine, my love, even better at seeing you. Grandma's fine, she went to a muggle friend's house a few feet away, soon she'll be back. Let's go inside, shall we?-

As you headed to the cabin he held your hand with tremendous force, without taking the look off your face.

As soon as you came in and closed the door, he kissed you. It was a mixture of despair, love and worry in one kiss. You held on to suchstrength and only  parted ways when the need for air presented itself. Touching your faces you couldn't let go.

-Happy birthday Nev . - You managed to let go while still trying to recover from the kiss.

-Thank you my love, let's sit down?- he says as he tries to control the slight flushing on his face.

As you headed into the living room you  couldn't help but watch the house. Filled with brown and green tones, everything referred to you for safety, peace. Same peace the Weasleys brought with their red colors. But you knew that feeling in the Longbottons' house was much deeper, something you  couldn't even describe for your best friend.  It was probably something related to love that you could only understand a few good years later.

As you sat down it looked like you were connected by a permanent spell, nothing could separate you at that moment. Not you-know-who, not even your own brother. Nobody.

You couldn't stop looking at each other. Your hand went against his jaw as your thumb made slight movements  on his face. He nestled even more in his hand.

- My beautiful boy. - the word  boy itself seemed ridiculous, because no seem like Neville had just turned 17, he seemed like a man already, but you still  had the right to enjoy the  last hours of your youth before going after something that there would be no turning back.

The war was taking away everyone's lovely and beautiful innocence, your brother was one of them. After Dumbledore's death, everyone changed their features and their hearts.

-My beautiful girl.- He says giving a heavy sigh - how is your brother? What about the Weasleys? Is everyone all right?-

- yes, everybody's fine, just nervous about the wedding tomorrow... probably be more nervous now knowing that I'm not there.-

-Y\N,  didn't you tell them  where  you were going? - despair took over his body as he left his relaxed posture to tense on the couch.  

- I, well Nev...

-DIDN'T YOU TELL HIM? GOD YOUR BROTHER WILL KILL ME AND-

- Nev, honey, it's  okay. - You say making calming movements on the boy's back-- - I didn't warn Harry because I knew he would react as you just reacted. I just told Molly and she promised not to tell anyone anything. When I get back, I'll explain it to them, it's all right.-

It wasn't all right, you knew. Calming your brother's anger wouldn't be easy, but he'd understand. But with a little convincing he'd understand. He'd do the same if it was Ginny away from him.

With his speech the boy relaxed a little, but still tense knowing what you would have to face when you returned home.

You approached him sticking his face around his neck giving slight kisses trying to calm him down.  -Come on, baby, let's enjoy your day together, shall we? Tell me, what do you want to do?-

He took a deep breath, took your  warmth out of your  neck and said. -I just want you, just you.- And he kissed you, climbing on top of you.

This kiss was much calmer, but still full of passion and love. His hands held your face as your hand lightly pulled the long, thick strands of his hair.

There in his embrace you got lost, stopping only when you heard the back door open and Neville's grandmother calling him. The boy suddenly jumped off you falling off the couch as you sat down and tried to fix your clothes and your hair. Getting up you  helped the boy get up while he put up  his own clothes trying todisguise the evidence  of what you were doing.

-Neville, are you there? Has Y\N arrived yet? -

- Yes, Grandma, we're here, we're going there, wait,- the boy says nervously entering the kitchen with you on his tail.

-Hello Mrs. Longbotton,  how are you?-  you day heading towards her taking the bags out of her hand to hug her.

You met Mrs. Longbotton two summers ago.  You and Neville have always been close at hogwarts. The proximity bringing a great romance. Harry knew we had a relationship at school but he thinks I broke up with him like he did with ginny.

I tried to finish with the intention of protecting him,  but when I ended up trying to push him away he made me promise that before I disappear I would spend the day one last time with him.  And here I am.

Meanwhile you  kept talking to Neville's grandmother while you helped her make lunch.

You ate together talking about anything that wasn't related to you-know-who. Soon after she walked away saying she was going to read a little in the greenhouse, but you could hear her brief whisper talking about 'leaving you young people alone'.

Laughing you started cleaning the kitchen quickly and then went to Neville's room.  You came in and Nev closed the door. Not in a moment since you arrived has he let go of your hand. You looked at each other with a brief smile, took off your shoes and lay on the bed. Neville snugged into your chest as you shoved your nose into his hair, trying to keep your scent on your head.

- When all this is over we're going to get married- - He says in an already sleepy voice. Your presence acting like a sleep aid after days of not being able to sleep.

-Is that really, love?-

-Yes, and I will never leave you again my love. -

- That's good, because I don't want to get away from you ever again.-

Less than a minute later you are asleep, bathed   in tiredness and the comfort of each other's presence, without any dream.

When you wake up the sun is already setting, slowly raising your arm you look at your watch that it is almost time to return.

You wake Neville up by making light affections on his face, enjoying his relaxed face. He mumbles slightly, bringing your body closer to him.

- Neville, darling, it's almost time- your voice light as a feather calling him like a mermaid whispering softly.

He mumbles a little more and finally wakes up. You spend a few minutes just looking at each other, enjoying the last moments before the wave of confusion that comes around.

He finally nods and gets up. You two try to stretch the farewell as much as possible, slowly putting on your shoes and putting on your coats, never moving away from each other.

Leaving the room you will find Mrs. Longbotton. She gives you a strong hug and a slightly heavy purse.

- It's potions, honey, you're going to need it.-

-But ma'am-

-It's yours and your brother's. Consider it a birthday present, yes? - she gives a slight laugh and getting it would be all of a sudden. - Stay safe ok?  You need to come back and take care of this boy.

You smile trying not to cry.- Thank you. For everything, Mrs. Longbotton. Take care of yourself, please. Don't get in any trouble  all right?-

The older woman laughs giving you a slight kiss on the head. - Yes, of course, I'll try- she takes a deep breath and says in your ear.- Kill him. Please. -

She walks away looking into her eyes. You can see the anger and the grudge in her eyes. – I Will. -

You wave at each other, knowing that there was one until soon.

Neville guides you to the balcony of the beautiful house, holding your hand hard as you climb the relief toward the Portkey and the last rays of sunshine.

You haven't spent the day talking, but each other's presence only made you realize you didn't need words for him to understand you.  Only each other's contact was sufficient and always will be.

You were still 20 minutes away from going, so you sat down and watched the end of the day.

-I have a gift for you-- he says.

-No, Nev. We promised, no presents this year.

-But it's not a gift, honey, it's just  something I'd  like you to keep around, yes?

- Is that the galleon of Dumbledore's army?

- yes, but I modified it. Only you and I have this one. We can always see if  everything's okay with  each  other and if... Hm-

 - If we're  alive.

-Yes, i'm sorry.

-I loved it.  Thank you,  darling.- He comes closer by putting on being neck and giving you a kiss.

  - I have something for you too.

- I knew it. - he says with a slight laugh.

-Hey, It's the same kind of gift you gave me.  To protect you .

- Here see, - You say the words and show it to him. - it's the hogwarts map.  You'll be able to see everyone who's there. So you can take care of yourself. Harry and I won't be needing it anymore. Use it,- you teach him how to use it.

- Thank you, my love.  It's about time.  He gets up and gives you his hand to help you do the same. You approach the Portkey and look at each other. The tears are already beginning to blur your vision.

-I love you, i love you.´- You start.

-I love you, i love you.- He repeats. You hug as hard as you can and then you kiss so intensely.

-Take care of yourself, please. It  won't be easy there, but the map will help you, -to this point the tears are already running down your face.

-You too, please. Control your brother, don't let him have stupid  ideas yes? - you  have a  slight laugh. - Now go, - he says giving one last kiss as  you walk away and put your hand in the old sock there.

- See you soon, my love. - he says trying to hide his bare voice, hugging the piece of parchment.

-See you soon. It's going to be all right. - And as soon as you finished the sentence you were pulled falling and another hill much darker with your heart in pain.

Many miles away Neville did the same as he tried to return home and sent a message to you on the coin. 'I love you'.

You feel the coin warm and see the message, replying to the message with a 'I love you too ́.

You take a deep breath getting up trying to calm down, as you're going to have to face a hurricane at The Burrow named Harry and the whole Weasley family.  But above all, the feeling of hope that everything will work out is present with you.  Neville's visit brought this to you. Everything would work out. That was the only certainty you had, because if it didn't work out you didn't know what you were going to do.

Description: After telling the boys that you shift to their universe when you sleep, they get extremely curious what it's like where you come from.

Warnings: None. Well, probably cringe. Also, Deek is a bit laid back, as MC and him have became very close. Just to make it more fun and silly.

____________________________

"MC I have another question." Sebastian stated as he pretended to browse through the books in the Room of Requirement.

"Well, that's a shock. It's not like you haven't already asked three with in the past 15 minutes," Ominis snorted from his spot on the worn emerald gothic couch where he lounged across from you.

You shoot Ominis a look, which he somehow must feel because he just rolls his eyes and continues twirling his wand between his fingers.

"And what would that be, Seb?" You giggle. Ominis was right, he was been quite inquisitive this past week after you told them.

"Do you guys dress the same as muggles do now?" He said as he abandoned his feigned search for books, now plopping down on the couch beside you.

"Oh Merlins beard, no. Honestly I'm sure you'd find the way we dress quite scandalous."

Ominis lifted an eyebrow, now seemingly interested in the conversation. Sebastian chuckled, "Come on, can you show us? It's just the three of us in here." He paused, glancing over at Deek where he stood throwing popcorn into the air and catching it in his mouth, "Well, four."

Deek catches a kernel and turns to the three of you, "Deek does not mind, Deek is quite used to the garb."

You blush as you turn towards Deek, throwing a pillow at him which he dodges and chuckles. Sebastian, sensing your discomfort clearly decides he just has to have details now, "Do tell, Deek."

"Well you see, they wear their 'other clothes' when they are alone in the room of requirement. They say that Wizard robes are, and I repeat exactly, "Way to freaking warm."

Deek was telling the truth, you would always switch over to the clothing you'd wear in your world when it was just the two of you. I mean, it was a rather hot spring. Why did robes have to be so damn heavy?

"Fine," You sigh as the boys glance at you expectantly. "But if I'm wearing clothes from my world, so are you."

You pull out your wand and flick it in their directions, and in the middle of Ominis' protest, the boys find themselves wearing rather odd outfits.

Sebastian jumps up and glances down at his outfit. He is clad in black skinny jeans as well as a black t-shirt, topped off with an dark green and black flannel. You inspect your work and smile, quickly conjuring a black beanie.

Ominis on the other hand sits up, hands trailing around his body to inspect. He wears skinny blue jeans and a black knitted sweater.

Sebastian walks over to the mirror against the wall checking out his outfit, "How weird. Honestly I kind of like it." He glances back at Ominis, "You actually look nice too, mate."

You smile and think about your favorite outfit. You settle on (insert your own outfit if you don't like mine) black high waisted shorts, a black tank top, over the ankle black combat boots and a flannel very close to Sebastians.

Sebastians mouth drops open. "Don't worry, I covered my ankles so you don't have an anuerysm." You chuckle.

Deek smiles, "Deek likes the changes you have made."

Sebastian smiles, thanking Deek, straightening up a bit and rocking on his heels confidenly. Ominis still on the couch, quips, "Would someone like to fill me in? Why are they talking about ankles?"

You listen to Sebastian describe all of the outfits and Ominis' face contorts to one of both shock and awe, "MC, are you telling us you can walk around with your legs exposed for everyone to see?"

"Oh Omi, this is nothing. Wait until you hear about bikinis."

A/N:

I know this is silly, I just feel like they'd be super curious about where MC really comes from. Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas on what else we could introduce them to.

Check out my book on Wattpad! And send in requests.

Abput ACOFAS, I can genuinely say it is my favourite book in the series and I wish SJM would write another book like this

I started out as a fantasy reader right? Harry Potter first, then moved to hunger games

In the past 2/3 years after picking up reading again through ACOTAR I’ve moved more and more towards romance or books with heavy romance.

This is not to say I hate books with a plot or where the story and defeating villains are front and center. I find myself really enjoying characters just interacting and small talking and hanging out

I loved LOVED when azriel took the potato tray from elain, I loved that he snatched cassian’s hand and told him to wait, but everyone else at the table stopped too, I think mor did? I think I remember feyre noticing mor especially, and maybe amren

I love the detail of feyre noticing elain comes back with her hair fixed (I don’t remember if it was ever stated but I think nuala and cerridwen helped her and they were ecstatic along with elain by azriel carrying the tray and -if I remember correctly- brushing her fingers with his… because that would be me with my closest friends in this very situation)

I love azriel laughing for the thought behind elain’s gift like he cannot absolutely believe someone has noticed him and something he does so often. It’s… the hilarity that comes with omg my crush noticed this about me??? Noticed me????

And I love cassian half drunk running after nesta and I love that you can read the internal battle in Nesta even when it’s not her POV

Cassian is hands down my favourite man in the series, and I loved seeing him as a person, seeing his backstory. I read the books a bit ago so the details are not too clear in my head now, but I don’t think we got tooooo much of his backstory in ACOSF? I also felt like SJM did a 180 on his character, like cassian from ACOWAR or ACOMAF would have never been as mean to Nesta as he was in ACOSF, and I also feel he would have recognised the signs of PTSD because HE has at least been through it, if he isn’t still handling it

I’m love elain and she has a lot of potential, I see myself in her a lot, and I get she has room for growth, I just hope she won’t lose her kindness and thoughtfulness and carefulness. Yes the people pleasing, but i hope she doesn’t change, she doesn’t need to. I also wish to see a sweeter side of azriel, azriel blurting out stuff to elain because she asks the right questions and why would he not tell her? I wish to see him smile more, why wouldn’t he around elain?

I know this is a fantasy series, but i hope elriel book feels also like a romance, like elain just freaking out with cerridwen and nuala over every tiny aspect, I want to see more of the twins too

So this was long I’m sorry

TL;DR I want all the romance in elriel book because ACOFAS and the bonus chapter really show elriel as the softest couple and I need that developed

Basically, same. After ACOMAF, ACOFAS is my favorite SJM book. Acowar was honestly just okay and I wasn’t even sure if I’d continue reading SJM after it. I’m glad that I did and ACOFAS was a perfect book to go back to. It actually made me care about the characters again.

I like reading about people and love stories and their relationships. Fantasy for fantasy sake is not interesting to me personally.

That’s why in TOG, I liked reading about Elorcan and the more personal parts of Rowaelin rather than Aelin’s scheming and fighting.

Obviously we all have our preferences but people who hate ACOFAS really baffle me.

Hello best author in the world!!! How are you doing ? , I hope you are well . May I ask for a snippet about Voldemort and the dursleys about harry. Thank you have a nice day best author in the world

I’m doing well, thank you. I still have the ask you sent me in my inbox. I haven’t forgotten about it, I just don’t have a lot of detailed ideas regarding Voldemort and the Dursleys so I can’t really write a detailed snippet but here is some reaction of them to Voldemort’s Gaunt appearance. I'm sorry for not getting to this sooner, hope this snippet is okay!

Warning, SPOILERS FOR NYNN regarding what Petunia knows about Harry.

“Soulmate?” asked Vernon, gaping at Voldemort. He looked so very insignificant to Voldemort. He could curse him now, torture him, transfigure him into a bug and squash him under his foot.

“What are you on about? You? The girl’s soulmate?”

Voldemort smiled, sharp and dark.

“Indeed,” Voldemort glanced to Petunia, and all his suspicions were proven true.

“And your wife knew,” he hissed, rounding the table, staring at the woman.

“You have... her words, too?” asked Petunia, shocked.

Voldemort laughed, high and cold. The couple jumped. “Yes. I do.”

The horror on Petunia’s face only made his grin widen. It faded very quickly, set in a cruel line.

“How many times...” Voldemort asked slowly, staring at the woman, prowling slowly, a serpent taking his time.

Petunia Dursley was nothing like Lily Potter was. Where Lily was brave and defiant, unafraid, not a single sample of fear on her face, the pale face of Petunia was blanked with utter, raw horror.

“Did she ask you what they meant? How many times... Did you lie to her?”

Petunia’s arms trembled. Then, something seemed to spark inside her, and for a moment, he could see a bit of resemblance between the sisters. A sort of bravery entered the woman.

“O-Only once,” stuttered Petunia. “How could I tell her... That the one she waits for killed her parents? That you are the reason she was left on our doorstep? That she doesn’t have a mother because of you.”

Hatred filled Petunia’s voice. Voldemort was almost impressed.

“And yet,” he hissed coldly, “you treated your little sister's daughter like a servant and put her in a cupboard for ten years. Instead of treating her as equally as you did your son, you mistreated her. You refused to tell her about magic, called her a freak. Do tell, Mrs Dursley, how you are any better than me.”

Hope you liked it. Have a good day! ❤️
