makes a note in my long roll of wip ideas

i like the idea of draco, for all his pompousness and uptightness and proper-ness, has just a touch of the Black family madness in him that needs the right catalyst to break free

anyways au where draco hears from voldy that harry's dead and he just :] snaps :] pulls an achilles even :]

On writing for myself

So I can write for myself in that I write what I enjoy. I’ve actively received hate for writing Sirius/OFC but have continued to do so because the character of Aeliana is a joy to write. Side note: this is not me vague posting but using it as an example to illustrate a point.

And this is a hobby I do in my spare time and anyone who wants to tell me what to do with my time, can come pay my bills before I listen to them.

But also I do write and continue to write because people engage with me. And I have friends who read and talk about it with me (and I to their fics).

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a community and enjoying it when people appreciate something you’ve poured yourself into.

As usual nuance is swallowed on this site.

NOW COMPLETE, No Heart Of Gold

Read from beginning

Chapter 37

Astoria died 4 years ago, leaving Draco in grief, coping with the only way he knows, Occlumency. He resigned himself to a lonely life in the Manor, doing the only thing he enjoys, breaking curses on dark artifacts. That is until Hermione Granger-Weasley disrupts his seemingly content life with an unusual deal. Resurrection stone to bring back Astoria for one day in exchange for his curse breaking skills.

After 9 months No Heart Of Gold is finally complete, and Draco's emotional development arc came to an end.

This was a wild ride! Onto the next advanture!

And thank you again to @sophiesstreet for bringing my favorite scene to life! <3

nothing makes u feel stupid quite like being a writer. out here googling “rooms in a house” to make sure i didn’t forget one of em. blockhead behavior.

[anna-h-ofeliya]

even fanfic writers now need to self-promote like they are marketers.

we're in the darkest of timelines.

More than that, you’ve got to actually spend your time doing this stuff on the off chance that the algorithm picks it up and people care about what you have to say. You’ve got to spend your time doing this even though it’s corny and cringe and your friends from high school or college will probably laugh as you “try to become an influencer.” You’ve got to do it even when you feel like you have absolutely nothing to say, because the algorithm demands you post anyway. You have to do it even if you’re from a culture where doing any self-promotion is looked upon as inherently negative, or if you’re a woman for whom bragging carries an even greater social stigma than it already does. You’ve got to do it even though the coolest thing you can do is not have to. You’ve got to offer your content to the hellish, overstuffed, harassment-laden, uber-competitive attention economy because otherwise no one will know who you are. In a recent interview with the Guardian, the author Naomi Klein said the biggest change in the world since No Logo, her 1999 book on consumerism and inescapable branding, came out was that “neoliberalism has created so much precarity that the commodification of the self is now seen as the only route to any kind of economic security. Plus social media has given us the tools to market ourselves nonstop.”

Oh hell yes. An article that supports my half-joke that a corporate app's demand for constant self-promo is technically classist.

I used to feel kind of embarrassed for liking Draco so much when he’s a jerk and a bully, but it’s occurred to me recently that the books are written from Harry’s point of view.

If I feel sympathetic towards Draco after the events of books 6 & 7, it’s because Harry presented him in a sympathetic light.

If I believe that Draco was under duress when he tortured a man, it’s because Harry told me he was forced to do it and he hated every second of it.

If I think Draco is attractive, it’s because Harry told me he is.

I’m just seeing Draco through Harry’s eyes.

no they want it every week on the schedule like the favorite tv show.

or better yet drop it as fast as you can.

oh, and it's a WIP?

nah not reading it until it's complete.

Readers do realise writing a long-ass over 100k fic takes *time* right?.... Right????

RIGHT?????

this should be on a shirt or something

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

feel free to add more

Two days late but ⭐star⭐

The ask is from Director's cut challenge.

send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

Mata! Thanks for the ask!

Ooof I feel like my favorite scene so far (hehe) is from my fic All the flowers we gathered in May - Chapter 9.

---

For context:

This fic is post war, Draco is unredeemed and very close to this canon self, and it's a Draco redemption arc.

---

The whole chapter is my favorite to be honest.

The short plot is: Draco has to make a speech before Wizengamot to convince them to let Lucius go.

His solicitor prepared a speech for him.

And throughout the whole chapter he practices the speech.

Once with Narcissa.

Once one on one with the mirror.

And once with Lucius.

The point of this chapter was to show a few things:

give some idea how Lucius might've trained Draco in his childhood

give some idea what Lucius thinks "motivating" means

show how desperate Draco is for Lucius's approval

So the emotional peak of the chapter is Lucius asking Draco to read the speech over and over again. Commenting on every single minuscule thing he finds unsatisfactory.

Partially to break him, partially to reassert his control over Draco, and partially to get a result he wants.

"'My father— made choices during the second wizarding war that were undoubtedly flawed." Lucius's grip tightens again. Draco pressed his lips together. A shimmer of sweat quickly crawls over his skin, together with the growing buzz as the words revibrate in his throat. "'They were guided, like everything in his life, by the concern for me and my mother. Our safety and wellbeing." A breath that is more like a shudder, "In the same vein we made decisions that proved instrumental in toppling the darkest wizard of our era—'" "You're speaking dully. Again. Where is your voice? Did you swallow it?" Draco shakes his head. He is right. "Again," Lucius insists. "'I address you today on a matter close to my heart—" Lucius's hand drops on the table with a sharp thud, making Draco's heart jump. "Don't be a ninny. Again. Make me believe it," Lucius interjects again, and Draco launches into the speech with a vigour that rushes the words out of him. "'I address you today on a matter close to my heart—the plea for the early release of my father, Lucius Malfoy, from Azkaban. My father made choices during the second wizarding war that were undoubtedly flawed," Draco straightens his shoulders. "'They were guided, like everything in his life, by the concern for me and my mother. Our safety and wellbeing—'" Draco quickly moistens his dried lips, "'In the same vein we made decisions that proved instrumental in toppling the darkest wizard of our era. I recognize their complexity—'" "Stop," Lucius commands, letting go of his wrist. "I can do it again. I can—" words immediately spill out of Draco.

It's like a spiral that Draco goes down. A push and pull.

Lucius clearly abuses him emotionally, but Draco is only happy to oblige because at this point in his mind Lucius knows better.

---

He'll be better though!

Again thank you for the ask Mata <3
