“Harraaaaaayyyyyyy!”

I fold my newspaper in my lap and sigh.

“What???” I shout toward the stairs.

“I need a new salt lamp,” Draco’s words barely make it down to the livingroom.

“Why?”

“This one has a hole.”

“Uhm, okay.”

--

The big lump of rock salt has a flat patch that faces the wall, and damned if it doesn’t have a hole worn through it.

“Dray?”

He’s ‘taking a nap’, which is code for ‘hiding under the covers’, but I’m not about to point that out.

“How did the salt lamp get a hole in it?”

The blankets shrug. I didn’t know blankets could shrug.

“Is there a leak in the roof or something?”

The blankets shrug again. “It wore out.”

“How?”

“I mean, it’s a salt lick lamp. It doesn’t last forever.”

“It’s a… Oh, Merlin.” Laughter bubbles up from my chest to my throat, and he’ll die if he hears it, so I shoot a weak thumbs up at the not-blanket-fort and Apparate to an empty field in Devon to laugh my goddamn brains out.

--

There’s an open bath bomb on the bathroom counter, and part of it has eroded. It looks like a candy pink Death Star. With glitter.

I wipe the steam off the mirror and wait for a lull in the shampooing going on in the shower behind me. “Dray, did you…”

“I don’t wanna talk about it!”

The laughter is rising, but I swallow it down. “What did it taste like?”

A long silence with no sudsing fills the room, and I bite my lips.

“I just licked it.”

“Mm hm,” I squeak, lips still between my teeth.

“Strawberries,” he finally whispers. “Fizzy strawberries. Strawberry Fizzing Whizzbees.”

I Apparate to Devon and laugh so hard I burp up some of my dinner.

--

Draco’s eyes dart around the table at the Grangers’ house. Hermione’s mum spent most of November in the States, and brought back weird American food.

“Harry,” Draco whispers.

My fork glides through a perfectly uniform piece of canned cranberry sauce.

“Harry.”

“What?”

“Don’t eat it. It’s another Muggle joke food.”

I only make it to the bathroom before I laugh into a pile of towels, and Hermione’s dad comes to check on me.

--

“Muggles are worse than Weasleys! I’d take a Skiving Snackbox, complete with the nosebleed and vomiting over that again!”

I can’t Apparate to Devon without everybody in the sushi joint looking at us, but Merlin’s fucking merkin, I want to. I can smell the wasabi on him.

Tears stream down his face. Snot runs down over his lips. His eyes are absolutely scarlet, but I’m pretty sure he’s glaring at me as he drinks his water.

“Bloody Muggles,” he hisses. “At least chocolate frogs are actually made of chocolate.”

Oophaga pumilio, Common names: Strawberry poison dart frog, Blue jeans poison dart frog

Strawberry poison-dart frog (Oophaga pumilio)

The strawberry poison frog is a species of small poison dart frog found in Central America. It is common throughout its range, which extends from eastern central Nicaragua through Costa Rica and northwestern Panama. The species is often found in humid lowlands and premontane forest, but large populations are also found in disturbed areas such as plantations. The strawberry poison frog is perhaps most famous for its widespread variation in coloration, comprising approximately 15–30 color morphs. O. pumilio, while not the most poisonous of the dendrobatids, is the most toxic member of its genus.The diet of O. pumilio causes the skin of the amphibian to become toxic in nature when certain subspecies of mites and ants are ingested.This toxin has a negative stimulating effect on cardiac function and is a severe disruptor of the sodium potassium ion channels within cells. Upon ingestion of Pumiliotoxin 251D, organisms preying on O. pumilio experience convulsions, paralysis, and death.Oophaga pumilio is diurnal and primarily terrestrial, and can often be found in leaf litter in both forested and disturbed areas. Though brightly colored and toxic, these frogs are relatively small, growing to approximately 17.5–22 mm in standard length. Males are extremely territorial, guarding small territories; females and juveniles are far more sociable.

Single dad Harry concept: Imagine Harry bringing his daughter to the studio with him and everyone starts to playfully make fun of him because they know he’s going to get distracted by her like always. She keeps trying to get him to play and chase her and Harry eventually has to catch her and tickle her and bribe her with ice cream so he can get least some work done.

He’s got her trapped and he’s tickling her tummy lightly and he’s like “Listen here you little bugger, if you let daddy get some work done for the next... mm... hour or so, I’ll take you out for ice cream, yeah?”

And she looks up with bright eyes that mirror his.  “Strawberry?”

“Strawberry! Your favorite!” and he lightly tweaks her nose and he’s like “but ONLY if you’re good and let me work, hm?  Sound good?”

And she beams up at him with a big gap in her teeth.  “And we’ll watch princess and the frog when we get home?”

He shrugs and makes a face like its a given.  “’Course we will.  But you have to be good, okay?”

She has him wrapped around her finger, and she giggles when she knows he’s giving into her.  “Okay daddy.”

And he salutes her and nods his head.  “Okay, boss.”

Name: Moon or Rose, sometimes Luna to people who have known me for a long time

Zodiac Sign: Virgo

Height: I honestly can’t remember what they said last time they measured me an it wasn’t even “accurate” because slouching and hunching and scoliosis but my mother did it again when I was in bed and she had a tape measure and I’m 4′8 I think? :D

Languages: English

Nationality: Irish (American...Long Island)

Favorite Fruit: Rasberries, Strawberries, Pomegranate, Tomatos, Cherries

Favorite Sent: Roses, Fresh dirt, Gardens, plants and Flowers, any type of wood, rain, popcorn, Curry, (never actually tried but WANT TO) any type of hot beverage, any type of bake goods out the oven ..

Favorite colors: Black, purples and blues, ESPECIALLY the dark ones, any type greens ......... Also reds and pinks .......

Favorite Animal: Rat’s and rodents, always, ever since I was little ... Bats, Owls, bigger felines and canines (Lions, Tigers, Wolf’s, Etc.) Smaller Cats and Dogs, (Striped cats, fluffy cats, black cats, pit-bulls  and SPINX’S are my favorites cause those are the ones that I have expect for the last one) Frogs and toads too,... opossums,  chinchillas, squirrels, eye-eyes, pigs, rabbits, ravens, crows, in a certain way spiders, bees, moths, butterflies, fox’s, minks, lemurs....  skunks. flamingo’s, swans....lady bugs, crickets fireflies , goats....turtles, Gryphons ....(Far underrated and superior to dragons, this a fact not an opinion.)

And I’m about to admit this VERY, EXTREMELY begrudgingly and through my longest sigh ever but ... Deer? I just freaking. Wrote out an whole entire separate thing concerning my.... complicated perspective on deer and I had to copy and paste it into an entirely different document because I talked for way to long, but it’s gotten to the point where I have this desperate need to just ... vent of what this animal has become for me and what they mean to me, because this has currently became something that has made my heartache the more and more I’ve tried to pretend it does not effect me and I will say that it’s been a long time coming and as of recently I can no longer afford to avoid how much...So um. I’ve decided that this may be the year... That ...I am finally going to talk about this. Of course not like, right /now/ this minute ... But I will say in short that like, I live by a lot of deer and they’ve always been a part of my life for better or worse, and I could never really escape them or the part they’ve played in my life, hurting or healing, even if I wanted to. So, I say that, if I ever got the opportunity to observe one up close in my chair or feed a doe from my hand or hold a baby fawn or do anything like that with supervision in a moment, I totally would, in a heartbeat, without question. Even though from far away it hurts to think about the relationship I’ve had with them through who I was connected to. I refuse disrespect this animal just because someone who I loved who loved them hurt me once. Does that make sense? Sometimes.... Certain things that hurt you can also heal you. I’ve realized recently that I’m still not over how much I’ve been hurting. But that doesn’t mean that deer haven’t also, in their own way, been helping me heal. And I’m just thankful they exist for that because I’ve also learned through many narratives throughout the years, at in watching animation, how deer can have so many different sides to them and they don’t always have to be so interpreted as so “good” and “pure” and righteous and ...., ugh. As everyone projects to be, and I’ve always like to think that’s that’s helped keep a nuanced perspective of what’s happened to me throughout the years even as certain events were taking place and for that... I’ll always love and respect deer as an animal themself.  

As a character, trope though, I’ve always observed that they’ve always been these fucking, self important, entitled a-holes who always assume that they’re charming enough to deserve your time, and think they can just come and go in and out of your life as they please and are far too proud of themselves to admit  when they are wrong and will never apologize to you ever until they are pushed and until then, they just keep popping in and out of your life to vex and annoy you and ......

Mm.

Tastes like perspective.

Anyway, I’m writing something for later.

Maybe.

This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot.

First time sharing any inkling of my emotions about deer. 

I’m honestly so afraid about what this and the other post will entail for later, my other deer tail, if you will.

I’ll stop talking about deer before this gets weird.

You have no ideer......

Last pun until next post, promise.

Coffee, Tea or Hot Chocolate: My silly abled assistant worker got me addicted to coffee again before she had me institutionalized and soaking in my own piss for four days because she didn’t understand how hospitals worked, and then they cut her hours when she was about to abandon me in what was basically a nursing home for and after a month I started trying to explain to her and my caseworker that I wasn’t feeling very well and they basically laughed at me and told me I was dirty and so yeah I spent my 25th birthday in a nursing home with an infection that I didn’t know I had and then one of the staff yelled at me for allowing this nice hyper boy who lived there to help push my crappy black manual wheelchair (you know the one) and practically tossed me out of my wheelchair to get me to what she wanted and then accused me of soiling myself when she was removing my clothes for the shower when I was on the toilet and then started screaming at me again and accusing me of lying when I asked her why she thought I had an accident and then she slammed the door and abandoned me in the bathroom when I wouldn’t give her the answer that she wanted and then I had a breakdown ... So I decided to use my mom’s birthday as an excuse to come home and check what was going with me and get some real food and I told my assistant and my caseworker and they basically laughed at me and said was a bad idea and told me I was dirty again and then I was punished and taken home for being “rude” and “too emotional” but not before the assistant worker brought me some crappy bitter ass coffee flavored fudge when the rocky road was right next to it because she was some vegan ass “straight ally” one year younger then me with a 29 year old boyfriend millennial who “missed my birthday” and complained about how miserable I was and how wasn’t enjoying the pumpkin farm which she originally wasn’t even gonna take me through, because my caseworker insisted that she cancel plans and bring me back to the nursing home as punishment for calling my mother. So when she DID bring me back after arguing with me for being ungrateful enough to not enjoy a place that she didn’t even wanna take me, she left me parked on the living room carpet, instead of bringing back into the dining room where my laptop was set up, like she’d normally do, said “good luck with your mom”, and left. Then, it took me about an hour to wheel myself off of the carpet, find someone to help me to the bathroom, and get me the phone to call my mom back and tell her it was okay to pick me up.

I come home, discover I have a lump in my left breast which is benign but still hasn’t gone away, go to the doctor, and it turns out I had two infections. 

My mom seemed prepared to let me go back to the group home if I wanted to but after I told the doctor what happened with the staff worker the day after my birthday and the night before I called. The doctor told me that I wasn’t safe at the group home ether and ordered that I go back home with my mom and stay there.

So I’m back home now.

Two months. 

And of course my caseworker shit on me for THAT.

And of course she informed me that my assistant worker quit on me.

And I still haven’t spoken to my father since I’ve been back here.

And I still have the scar he gave me. 

And I’m still trying to ween myself off of coffee.

But before all of this my go to warm drinks were usual tea or hot chocolate. Sometimes hot chocolate with liquor.

My tongue went numb for a time because that was the first thing that I did non- stop each day for like four days after the day I finally finished my meds and my period hit immediately (which is already a whole other nightmare that I was dreading having to go through in a nursing home when everything already felt fucking inflamed and swollen and infected with already visible particles of dried up soap.... because.... it was ......) 

But like, yeah...... Tea and Hot Chocolate!  

Dream Trip: To have the opportunity to visit and interact with/get to know some queer cripple friends in person, and to visit my good friend @colorcinabrio in Mexico to travel round the world with them if ever given the chance! ❤

When Blog was created:

Somewhere around two years ago... I wanted to make blog that reflected my disability and really let me identify as a cripple and focused more focused more on cripple things and maybe make some cripple friends! ^ ^’  ❤

Last Movie Seen: That comes to mind that I actually enjoyed? The Favorite.

Favorite Holiday: I really love people’s birthday’s also and I always try and do something for my friends birthdays if I can! ^ ^  ❤

Menaces (~1400 words) read on AO3 // AFF

- June 12, 2006 - 

"Mom! Grandma!” Kibum closed the front door behind him. “Mail’s here!” 

“Just put it on the counter, honey,” Grandma called from the living room. 

“Okay...” Kibum sifted through the mail -- a lot of ads, discounts at Diagon Alley, mostly. He tore off the Buy one cone, get one free for Fortescue’s and pocketed it as he set the rest of the mail on the counter. As he was about to walk away, he spotted a letter, so he pulled back the ads. 

Minho wrote to him? Already?

Smiling, he glanced into the living room, making sure Grandma was doing fine -- she was, just knitting -- before he took the letter from the pile and darted up to his room. He had it open and out before he laid down on his bed to read it. 

Dear Kibum,

You know how we bought those candies to give to Minseok and Jjong? I just gave the lollipop to Minseok and it was amazing.

Okay, so...

- * - * -

Minho started at the soft knock at the door, looking away from Geum-nan and where she was in the night sky. “Come in? Oh, hey, Minseok!”

“You don’t have to unpack tonight, you know.” 

“I know, but I don’t want to wait too long.” Minseok closed the door behind him, sitting cross-legged on the floor on the other side of Minho’s duffle bag as Minho did the same. “What are you doing?” Minho asked as Minseok started digging around in the side pocket closest to him. 

“Do you have any of those chocolate frog things?” 

Minho scoffed, opening the other pocket. “No, they’re expensive. Maybe when I go to Diagon Alley before school, though. I did buy this for you, though!” He whipped out the blood lollipop, doing his best not to crack a devious smile. Minseok’s eyes lit up as he took it, taking off the clear wrapper. “It’s either strawberry or cherry, I can’t remember.” 

“Does it...do anything?” 

“Uh...it, uh, fizzles when you suck on it.” 

“Mm.” Minseok popped the whole lollipop in his mouth, and Minho had to cough so he didn’t laugh. His eyebrows furrowed, and Minho looked down at his duffle bag as he tried to distract himself with unpacking. “Are you sure it’s cherry?”

“Could be strawberry.” 

“Huh...” Minho turned away when Minseok started smacking his lips. “I don’t think so. What’s so funny?” 

“Hm? Nothing...” 

Minseok licked his lips, leaving them blood red. “This is like that jelly bean thing, again, isn’t it.” Minho bit his lips, his shoulders shaking in silent laughter. “Do I want to know what flavor this is?”

“Probably not.” 

“Okay.” He popped the lollipop back in his mouth as he stood and headed for the door. “Glad you’re home, dumbass,” he said as he closed the door behind him. 

- * - * -

...I can’t believe he finished it! And that he wasn’t able to tell what it was. Anyways, I can’t wait to hear how Jjong reacts to the fudge! 

Love, Min

Kibum chuckled, reading over the letter again, and looked up when the front door opened downstairs. Once he finished, he folded it up and stuffed it under his pillow, finding Mom putting her purse on the table by the door. “You almost ready to go?”

“Where?” 

“London. Grandma has an appointment.” 

Kibum held back a heavy sigh. “Yeah, let me change out of my pajamas first.”

* * * * *

- August 13, 2006 -

With a heavy sigh, Minho hung up the receiver. Kibum sounded like he was doing okay, and that he was hanging out a lot with Jonghyun. As he walked out of the kitchen, he could feel some of the nervous energy that he had been accumulating leave him. 

He was okay.

“Come here,” he muttered as he scooped Ember up, cooing at her despite her half-hearted protest meows. She was purring in his arms by the time he reached his room. “Let’s pick up where we left off,” he said as he arranged himself on his bed, letting Ember curl up where she wanted. Which, apparently, was on his chest.

“June twenty-fifth,” he said, reading the envelope as he tore it open. 

Min,

When I say Jonghyun is the most dramatic, I’m not forgetting Mitch’s meltdown in Potions. I’ve said it before, that Jjong hates fudge, but oh my God...

- * - * -

"What, you’re not hiding in the closet this time?” 

Kibum looked up from the book he was reading to find Jonghyun standing in his doorway. “First of all, that was one time, and Minho and I were having a discussion. Secondly, hello to you, too!” 

Jonghyun snorted and moved into the room, plopping down on Kibum’s bed. “Did you miss me?” 

“Do I have to tell the truth?”

“Of course not.”

“Then, yes.” Jonghyun cracked up, which made Kibum break. “No, but really,” Kibum said once Jonghyun stopped laughing. “How was your year?” 

They both filled each other in on what all had happened to them during the course of their school years, though there wasn’t much to tell, as they both kept in pretty close contact. “Oh, hey, I got you something.” Kibum sat up, holding out his hand for Jonghyun to drop a ring in his palm. “Apparently it reads your moods? The Pasma -- wait, sorry -- the Muggleborn students were pretty amused by them.”

“How does it -- oh...” He blinked, watching the ring change from silver to dark green. “What does that mean?”

“That you’re in Slytherin?” Kibum scoffed, looking up at Jonghyun. “I don’t know, Ki, I lost the paper that came with it.” 

He sucked his teeth before he jumped off the bed. “I got you something, too.” 

“Oh?” 

“Yeah,” Kibum said, digging around in the drawer of his dresser. He grabbed the box of fudge flies and tossed it across the room at Jonghyun. 

It looked as though Jonghyun was about to thank him, but then it registered what he was holding. “Are you...fucking serious?” Kibum held his fist in front of his mouth, trying really hard not to laugh out loud. “Fudge? Fucking fudge? You got me...fudge?”

“Yes, I did,” he said in the most condescending tone he could muster without cracking up. 

Jonghyun’s shoulders were shaking -- with both anger and laughter. “I got you a ring, out of the goodness of my heart, and you got me the most despicable substance on the planet?” 

“Have you never had a vomit bean before?” 

His mouth popped open in disgust, and he struggled not to laugh when Kibum finally broke. “I would rather eat only vomit beans for a week than eat even one of these goddamn flies. I am a good friend and you...” he shook his head, opening the box of flies and letting them all free to fly about the room. “I hope they fucking melt in your goddamn bed.” Then, in a huff, he stormed out of the room, only to pop in a second later. “I have to go to practice, bye,” he said, his voice shifting to be overly sweet compared to the faux anger in his tone just seconds before.

He didn’t seem to notice the fudge fly that landed on his shoulder before he closed the door behind him. It only took him a couple of steps though, judging by his yelling.

- * - * -

...Also, don’t worry. I got all the flies out of my room before they could melt or anything. I’m thinking next time we can get a stringmints container and mix in strongmints...but, it might be better to do that to someone we don’t like rather than Jjong. How about this, we both come up with a list and then compare it when we get back to school, okay?

I hope you’re having fun in Korea! I can’t wait for you to get home!

Kibum

Minho wiped the tears from his eyes, still chuckling. Now he wished that Minseok had been more reactionary about the lollipop, but it was still funny, to him, at least. He almost wanted to get up to call Kibum again, but he had said that he’d be busy today, and Ember was so comfortable on him and he was loathed to disrupt her. 

“Hm...where’s the one from the twenty-sixth...”

[pontata]

Okay, these are the tapes that I pondered about releasing, because I was worried how the fans will react. Nonetheless, I think people want this enough, so doing it. Going to do tapes in seperate posts

Tape 1:

“Hey... Gore-chan wake up.”

gore..chan... :D

“Mm...? What’s is it...”

“...why is there a video camera...”

“It’s okay! I wanted to record your reaction.”

“Hey Gore-chan...”

“What is my favourite jam?”

“mm-....strawberry right?”

Toriel likes strawberry jams?!

“Boo-! Too bad!”

“My favourite jam is...”

“Mama-lade!”

Marmalade...NICE PUN GAME.

“...well? Was it funny?”

“It’s so late...hurry and sleep...”

“Wait!”

“Not yet!”

“Hehehe...”

“Then if I was a frog, what frog would I be?”

“mm...I don’t know. What kind of frog?”

“The correct answer is...”

“mama frog!”

“...hahaha...!”

“You’re so happy bearing a child that you can’t stand it.”

“Geez, facing you...”

“You won’t let me”

“sleep soundly at the mom-ent, would you.”

OH MY GOD ASGORE HAS PUN GAME TOO. (Note this is the best I can translate the pun, it’s not perfect but DAMN asgore’s pun game)

“Well then let’s sleep”

“Eh! Wait Tori! Aren’t you laughing now?”

“Ahahaha yes. I was only teasing.”

“Good night Gore-chan”

“Ahh. Good night.”
