“It’s beautiful,” Regulus said at last, shaking his head as if he couldn’t fit all the wonders inside.

“Yeah, yeah it is,” James said softly, not at all referring to the painting.

Since last year, James (especially the versions from these fics) has helped me understand myself, make sense of life, and manage changes more than I can adequately express. ILY James and thank you to all of these authors 💛

Also, I love all Jameses, but I am partial to desi James bc I am also desi 💌

When your card declines at therapy and the therapist pulls out the multiple works of literature you've read about dead gay wizards from the 1970s reimagined in different scenarios that all made you sob uncontrollably but also gave you the most joy

“Hang painting here?” spit on my face why don’t you

Anyone that says "fanfiction isn't real literature" can go fuck themselves btw.

The two longest pieces of literature in this WORLD are both fanfictions.

I've cried more while reading fanfictions than I ever have while reading a novel.

I've made orange muffins, put up printouts of paintings, gotten obsessed with art, I have a pink sticky note on my wall that says 'hang painting here' all because of art heist, baby!

I have a clay decoration of a piece of toast with four different toppings because of atyd

I've learned more about art conservation than I need to because of Winterlude

I read an 800,000 word fanfiction, cried and laughed all because of crimson rivers

Don't you dare fucking tell me fanfiction isn't real literature

Someone should have warned me so I'm warning all of you.

In pitch perfect 2 at 14:46 the word 'copenhagen' is said.

Caught me COMPLETELY off guard as a survivor of 'art heist ,baby!'

Here’s your friendly reminder that he never did fall in love again

[nothingtoseeherebyeexx]

you draw james the exact way i picture him and i love it so much

you don’t wanna know how long i’ve refused to draw james bc i didn’t know how to draw his hair 🙈

no but seriously, some designs have changed a lot in a few months while others stayed the exact same:

i made this drawing last summer for ahb (lovely otrtbs posted it, and it was the only reason i downloaded tumblr lol), and it’s funny to see how much james, evan and barty have changed!
