Finished Object!

— OPEN STARTER

location: Animal Acres

"Olaf, get back here!" Jemma shouted, fully aware it'll attract unnecessary attention towards her. But what else could she do when the sneaky pup had taken advantage of the single second she'd let her guard down. Bringing him along was a bad idea, she knew it the second she'd put that leash on him. She knew exactly how overly excited the pup would get around so many people and other animals yet she'd seen it as the perfect opportunity to work on his obidience. But it turned out the joke was on her since she was the one to learn her lesson. "I'm sorry," she was almost out of breath by the time she caught up to the naughty pup. "Did he destroy anything of yours already?"

WITH: open starter (currently no cap)

"I know art is supposed to make you feel all sorts of euphoric shit but," Rhys paused to take a sip of his drink. "All this is makin' me feel is broke." he pointed his coffee cup towards the price on one of the paintings, which made his heart fall through to the floor. "Kinda makes me want to take some shrooms, paint somethin', and see how much I could sell it for as art." he mused for a moment.

OPEN STARTER

Location: Animal Acres (3/4)

He stood back, watching his nephews with a fond smile as they fed the goats at Ocean Bounty Bazaar. The annual event always brought the community together in such a wonderful way. Peering over at the person beside him, Kian remarked, "I'm really glad they do this once a year. It's the best way to get families together, don't you think?" His eyes crinkled at the corners as his smile widened. "The kids love it. Hell, I think I love it just as much," he added with a chuckle, turning his attention back to his nephews who were giggling as the goats ate from their hands.

OPEN STARTER

Location: Food Truck Rodeo (3/4)

Peering around at the bustling food truck rodeo, Axel took in the sights and smells. The field was covered with food trucks and people enjoying the different cuisines. As he waited in line, his impatience grew with each passing minute. He tapped his foot, checking his watch again. "Are these things always this packed?" he asked the person in front of him.

OPEN STARTER

Location: Wind Riders Skyfest (4/4) CAPPED

Hazal liked volunteering when she could find the time, today she was helping kids with the kite making for the springtide bash. The girl she was helping was adorable. While focusing, her tongue poked out adorably as she tried to keep the scissors steady. It took a few minutes of her turning her back to help another kid, when she felt the hem of her sundress being tugged. The young girl had lost her scissors and needed a replacement. She scanned the crowded crafting tables and spotted an extra pair of scissors nearby. Catching the eye of the stranger sitting there, she gave them a smile. "Excuse me, would you mind if I borrowed those scissors for a minute?"

HP FESTS: HP Springtide Festival

HP Springtide Festival 2023:

Draco Malfoy and the Flying Wand by SybilEvergreen - E, one-shot - She averted her gaze and saw one of the sofa cushions flying through the air before an object zoomed towards them. Suddenly, the arms that had surrounded her released her, and she heard Draco shout. She turned around hastily. With his left hand, he held his head, a lump beginning to form on his reddening forehead. And with the other… Oh, Merlin… This was a nightmare…. “What in the world is that, Granger?” he asked, a dumbfounded look on his face, while he was holding her proud, bright pink wand in his right hand. She really should have accepted the glass of Firewhisky.

stomach butterflies by riddikulus_puff - T, one-shot - It had become a semi-monthly tradition at the small magical animal shelter where Hermione and her six-year-old daughter, Rose, volunteered. And it had become one of their favourite activities that they did throughout the whole year. Rose especially loved being surrounded by all the baby animals. It was a day for magical families — or single people — to come and visit the shelter and adopt some baby animals while greatly helping a charity organisation. This was where a divorced Hermione Granger met a widowed Draco Malfoy, along with his six-year-old son Scorpius.

Is it over? by Writer_Love4618 - E, one-shot - An assignment in Spain, an affair that leaves a mark. A bond that cannot be broken

Bunny Love by Jellylegswriter - T, one-shot - Harry and Hermione come up with a plan to host an easter egg hunt for everyone's kids. When Draco loses a bet and has to come dressed as the Easter Bunny, how will his night end?

This fest is ongoing.

OPEN STARTER

Location: Starlight Viewing Party (2/4)

After setting up his telescope, Irza looked around and watched the person next to him struggle with their telescope. At first, he let them be, but after witnessing them fiddling with the knobs and dials for the past five minutes—growing more and more frustrated by the second—he decided to help out. "Here, let me take a look." After leveling the telescope, he peered through the eyepiece and made a few adjustments before stepping back. "There we go. You should be able to see the stars now."

"Identifying as a bi lesbian because you like enby genders as well as women is excluding nonbinary people from lesbian" that is entirely based on your pre-conceived idea that one cannot be bi and a lesbian at the same time, and that identifying as a bi lesbian is an admission that I'm not really a lesbian, or somehow a lesser lesbian.

The reality is that bi lesbian, used the way I use it, recognizes that elsegender people are a separate gender from women and that my attraction to them and to women is a bi experience (hence the bi in bi lesbian) yet also recognizes that they are part of lesbian attraction and my attraction to them and women is a lesbian experience (hence the lesbian in bi lesbian.)

It only excludes nb people from the 'base' lesbian if you think that I'm somehow saying I'm experiencing a lesbian form of attraction and a non-lesbian form of attraction, which isn't true.

Also, lesbians who are attracted to women and elsegender people who don't use any labels other than lesbian are valid, that attraction is mspec inherently but you don't have to specify it as being mspec (it's like mspec neptunic, you can use the specifier if you want but you don't have to, since you may see the label as inherently including an mspec experience anyway.) It only becomes a problem when you start calling yourself monosexual while attracted to more than one gender.
