#my fest stuff

[xx-thedarklord-xx]

saw your name on the erised particpant post and i'm so excited to read what you wrote! it's like seeing authors in the wild when they do fests and stuff. can't wait

Ahh thank you! I've participated three times in Erised and unfortunately, this year will be my last time for that particular fest, but I am glad you are looking forward to it! There's another fest I participated in as well that will get revealed in the next couple weeks. If you are interested in my past fest fics, I'll link them.

-Dear Cousin, Love Regulus [Harry/Draco Big Bang 2018] As the sole Malfoy heir, Draco understood that his path was set long before his birth; who to be, how to act and what his choices should be. What he had not counted on was the power of outside influences. Letters from his deceased cousin caused him to realize that he did have choices, starting with the choice to be someone else, to be who he wanted to be. The road to self-discovery was difficult and navigating that path in the shadow of Harry Potter was its own challenge but maybe, just maybe, his friends would help him along the way. And he would owe it all to Regulus Black.

-Ardour of Karma [H/D Erised 2019] “Malfoy knows something is going on with you and unless you both want to go back to fighting and death glares, you should fix it.”

“How do I do that? Just waltz up to him and say, ‘I know I’ve been a prat but your scent makes my dick swell. How’s your day?’”

“Mind repeating that?”

The familiar drawl had Harry’s throat clamming up as his blood ran cold. Oh no.

-The Forsaken [Harry/Draco OwlPost 2019] When Draco imagined his future as a child he thought he'd be a Potion Master, get married and maybe have a kid. But the reality was he was a retired Assassin, bitten by a Vampire and mated to a reckless, idiotic, foolish ex-Auror now turned Veela—Harry Potter.

-Borrowing Courage [H/D Erised 2018] After years of being a Magical Artist and painting for other people, Draco decides it’s time to paint for himself for once. The secrets pile up as he tries to unravel the mystery of his relatives but the only thing he didn’t count on was having to go to Potter of all people for approval.

-Save a Horse, Ride a Malfoy [HP Kinkfest 2020] Riddles are woven throughout life, some never answered and many lost in frustration. Whatever riddle it was that defined what Harry and Draco had was a mess of a riddle that worked for them, despite what everyone else thought, even if there was no answer—yet. Sex was another riddle, only that was one they had solved many, many times over. 

-Still Standing [H/D Fan Fair 2019] Not many know the evil origins of a Philosopher's Stone. When Draco discovers that the Goblins found one and kept it, he'll stop at nothing to see it taken care of. Even if that means having to deal with Gringotts' very own resident twat: Harry Potter.

-Augury Forecast [HP Drizzle Fest 2018] Draco had always known that teaching at Hogwarts would be an experience, he just didn’t think that meant a flash flood in the kitchens, a windstorm in the Great Hall, or a sandstorm in the Quidditch pitch. Months of extreme weather would grate on anyone’s nerves, but to have Potter, the ever annoying Divination Professor, around every corner was even worse. So much for a quiet life at Hogwarts.

-Teach Me [HP Contest Fest 2018] "If you can’t learn Occlumency, then you can’t become an Auror.”

No. All of this couldn’t be for nothing. Harry hadn’t spent so much time proving himself, proving that he was more than just a famous name for all of this to go to shite. “This can’t be the end.”

"I have someone in mind that could teach you if you are willing, but I can't guarantee he will help, especially considering your... past." 

"You don't mean Malfoy, do you?"

-Worth Betting On [HP Joggers Fest 2018] The easy way Malfoy breezed into the arena in an unprofessional attire—grey joggers that outlined far too much, and a white dress shirt open with nothing underneath—which showed off his chest, his sweaty sweaty chest—had Harry sitting up straighter. It wasn't unusual to see Malfoy in such a state of undress, it was a signature move that he refused to change.  

Not that Harry wanted him to change. 

 Or the one where Draco is a professional Duelist, and Harry can't stay away from the matches.

My submission for @merlintarotfest! I went fairly literal, but when I got my spread it fit too well to not go this route.

Posted in the collection on AO3!

I haven't tried my hand at Merlin fanart since I was a pixel artist, so this was fun! :D Also had fun trying out something new with the style. I took the oracle card drawn (The Witch) and used it both to determine the content (Morgana) and how I would handle the project (experimentation).

I feel like I should have added more details in some parts, but I ended up finishing these up in the midst of having Covid, so I was too tired to do much more than finish them up RIP

since riot fest is coming up and a lot of bands we all like on here are going i just wanted to let people know about some of the shit around riot fest from chicago residents around douglass park (where riot fest is held)

the nature of the festival is that it completely shuts down the park for far longer than the fest goes on for in terms of how it ruins the grass the children’s sports teams play on (making them more susceptible to injury), the damage to trees and the set up and shut down time.

this also closes off green space in a poorer, majority Black and Latine neighbourhood. the disruption that attendees bring to the local area, including leaving a lot of rubbish, has also been exacerbated in recent years when many have caught covid at the fest, passing it on to the local community who don’t want it hosted there in the first place. locals have also struggled to get to 2 local hospitals with the amount of traffic it creates. (heatwave and summer smash have been moved from the park this year bc of the same complaints)

members of the community have now been protesting riot fest for 8 years. over the course of this time, they have spoken with the mayor and with the organisers of riot fest but to no avail

look at unetelavilllita on IG for more (and good article summarising the dispute here)

older Snape fans, what are your oldest works like?

i’m curious 🤭

found the old display book where i stored my second (and longest)(and unfinished) fanfic and i’ll have you know the highlight was Severus stabbing a dragon in the throat with a poisoned dagger to save Hogwarts, in front of everyone 🙌🏻

he was able to jump on the dragon because he had ✨angel wings✨ black covered in ebony feathers, of course 🖤

and every chapter had deep poetic introductory quotes bc i was a dramatic teenager.

Ahem. Fiber festival haul...

Firstly, this incredible shetland fleece @rival-the-rose traded me for some hampshire and that distaff I made (which just doesn't work for my messed up hands, hopefully it will work for them !). The crimp is so unbelievably fine, I can't wait to work with it ! 1 pound, 8 ounces (675 ish grams)

Secondly this incredible jacob lambswool. Admittedly I'm just obsessed with Jacob, especially lambswool. But this is so soft and fine and has almost no vm (having been coated ! Never spun a coated fleece before !) And has sooooo much lanolin. Smells beautiful tbh. Gonna make a great shawl or scarf I think ! 1 pound, 4 ounces (560 ish grams)

This is greener than it looks in the picture. Super pretty and soft--the seller said it was a merino cross. This will be for moss yarn projects :3 6.5 ounces (190 grams)

Tons of dyed mohair locks. Everyone was selling them and for very cheap ! Mostly greens (for the moss yarn as well) but a few other colors for blending with. 5.5 ounces (150 ish grams)

Random grab bag--the bigger brown lot is suri alpaca--I think the rest is cashmere or pygora, slightly felted. 2 ounces (50 grams)

Felted Buffalo down. Was incredibly cheap bc it was felted. I think I can get some good fiber out of it though--it's not too bad. And some random wool on the left that was also in the bag. The Buffalo is 2 ounces (50 grams).

This incredible cvm batt from a sheep named Cissie. This was her wool when she was younger, the shepherd and I were talking and she showed me her more recent fleece, which was oatmeal colored. Apparently she is the model sheep, and the shepherd loves her a lot. Honestly, will add to the spinning experience. So so soft ! 3 ounces (90 ish grams)

From the same shepherd, this southdown romney blend batt. So nice and sturdy. 3 ounces (90 ish grams).

That's all I can fit on this post, the rest will be on the reblog !

Family Matters

Drabble, 00Q, Q Branch

"Thanks, mum."

Bond watches the handler retreat then turns to Q. "Why'd they call you that?"

"Oh." Q points vaguely skywards. "NASA Mission Operations Managers get called Mom. It's stuck."

"Unfortunately?"

Q replies, unexpectedly soft. "It's stuck because we're family, apparently, so I suppose I can endure it."

Three months later…

"Morning mum, morning dad," the Q Branchers chorus as they pass along the corridor.

"Why'd they call you that?" M asks suspiciously, stalling on his own way past.

They subtly take half steps away from one another, and Bond drops his hand from Q's back.

"No reason," Q says.
