Re: your recent response about Draco wearing blue - fashion is not something I tend to pick up on (or understand very well generally), so I’m always curious to hear more about it! Do you have any other fashion thoughts you want to elaborate on? You’ve talked a bit about Draco and Hermione’s fashion, what about Harry or Ron?

Aw, yeah! I'll preface this by saying that the following is a combination of canon and headcanon; some of this is evidenced in the text of the fic, but some of it probably isn't, it's just something that's in my head when describing them.

Harry's pretty small in Lionheart, as a consequence of chronic malnutrition in childhood mixed with a genetic predisposition to it (James is canonically a short king, cf. "Hairy Little Christmas.") That means a lot of his muggle clothes don't fit well, being hand-me-downs from Dudley; in contrast, his school robes, which we know he got tailored at Malkin's, seem to fit normally (i.e., Harry fits better in the magical world, it's his home, it suits him). In general, Harry's fashion is "adequate, but not great," which makes sense; he never had the chance to choose his own clothes growing up, and then he went to boarding school with a uniform, so when would he develop a sense of style? Honestly, it's a relief for him to have one fewer decisions to make.

Like Ron, Harry's uniform isn't super meticulous, but he seems to make an effort. He does his tie and keeps his shirt clean, etc. (which makes sense; Harry cares about belonging here). When we see Harry out of uniform, he's usually wearing baggy t-shirts and jeans, which are the least nice clothes you could give to someone while still expecting them to last; they're also clothes that fit loose and hang long on his body (very late-80's + early 90's).

Ron, on the other hand, doesn't have any qualms about belonging in the magical world; he was born to it. This manifests as a laziness with his robes. He doesn't bother with his tie as much, if at all, and when he does it's not the right knot (Draco points it out in Book 3); since he's the brother of not one but two Head Boys, we have to assume that's deliberate, or that at some extent his lack of attention is a deliberate manifestation of something. Ron is youngest boy, he has self-esteem issues, and the way this manifests is by Ron never asking for anything and then getting sour when nothing goes his way. He doesn't try, so he can't feel bad when he fails. Besides which, when Ron does try to dress nice, it backfires; it's either an uncomfortable costume, like in "Operation Prewett," or it's a horrible hand-me-down, e.g. the Yule Ball outfit. Contrast him with the other Weasley boys, many of whom — especially the three oldest — have their own cultivated aesthetics, because they all know who they are. Ron is figuring that out, and it manifests in stylistically messy ways.

#fun fact: the scene with Harry and Draco at Madame Malkins is a scene I axed for efficiency #but I like to imagine they both went they just did on a different day #I looped back around to it at the end of book 3 like oh haha actually Narcissa prefers Savile Row #like I get why Harry's here — why is Draco putting off his tailoring until they're about to leave?#come to think of it: Draco grew up in a pureblood family. Doesn't he already own a set of robes? Or several?#Are the Hogwarts robes That Different from the bog-standard garment you'd have in your wardrobe as a 10y/o wizarding child?#this is of no consequence whatsoever #except on the set-dressing question of what it is the hogwarts robes actually look like #because the movies give us this simple (easily mass-produced for their billion extras) black hooded situation #I THOUGHT I read somewhere that the ties-by-house theme was fanon but I cannot be arsed to check #I just know that Harry is able to clock people by their House even when he doesn't know their names #which implies to me there's a visual marker; either a badge or a tie #greenteacup asks

What is their go-to drink order?

First of, let's assume everyone is of legal drinking age, whatever that might be.

It's sixteen. If Ben can be a High King at sixteen, he can bloody well drink. I'm not taking criticism on that one.

Unsurprisingly though, Ben has never had as much as a champagne.

And Jane is stuck drinking kiddie fake-champagnes well into her twenties.

Now Audrey? Oh well. Her favourite is rosè, champagne, Skinny Bitch (vodka & soda) and Pink Gin & Tonic. If you pick an aesthetic, you bloody commit to it.

If she's doing shots with the pirates, she gets vodka, because Audrey post Queen of Mean is that bitch and fears no god. She could also do silver tequila.

Chad can't hold his liquor. He just can't. He has one (1) cider//Frisko and is crying. Audrey is suffering.

Anthony Tremaine gets some fancy brandy or whiskey on rocks. Again, Aesthetic, duh. Once he got this for Ginny Gothel and died a little inside when she declared that it doesn't taste any good and proceeded to pour Cola into it. Guess who learned to never ever do this the hard way.

Harriet Hook. Uuh. She has Problems. We know that, right?

On the Isle, she usually drinks Energy drinks with vodka, because she needs to stay awake, duh. Also rum, 'cos pirates, and red wine, 'cos Aesthetic.

If it's before noon, she gets a Mimosa, so she can feel fancy. Also espresso with vodka. Gin & Tonic.

Basically, you name it, chances are Harriet Hook has drunk it at least once.

She'd just like to forget and not feel, savvy??

Harry prefers rum and dislikes wine. He just has the vibes. Unless it's mulled wine which smells way better.

Uma also orders rum. She, however, really likes Pina Colada, but she won't order it herself, (because tough pirate Captain can't enjoy sugary long drinks, duh).

Don't worry though, Gil gets it for her every time he is getting them drinks.

Uma also doesn't pay for her own drinks, like, ever.

Gil likes ciders the best, even over beer, for which his father and brothers ridicule him. He doesn't care, though. He will also do shots of rum with the rest of the pirates.

CJ doesn't drink.

She has seen her family's hungovers and decided she is not doing thaz, thank you. She also dislikes the idea of losing the already poor control over her mind any more. It might not look like it, but CJ is a bit of a control freak.

Freddie Facilier drinks only when someone buys the drink for her. In which case, she'd choose a Chupito, a sweet shot with rum, lime liquor and cocktail cherry.

Celia Facilier doesn't drink and good for her.

Dizzy Tremaine is not allowed to drink. She doesn't particularly wish to, though.

Ginny Gothel mostly drinks wine, and if there is more fancy option available, she'll get Calvados (fancy apple liquor. It's good.) She is also not opposed to drinking Harriet's Red Bull with vodka though.

Claudine Frollo (once adopted by the Hooks). She also has problems, which, in this case, manifests as getting her drinks as vile as possible.

Campari Orange, as bitter as her soul. She can also pass it for an orange juice if she wanted. She's a hypocrite. (Campari Orange is legit good though). On similar note, Skinny Bitch, without the lime. She will do shots of pure vodka and drink Slammed-Tequila (shot of Tequila & shot of Sprite & ice), which is the most vile substance I have ever tasted. It feels like kerosene.

...Mal can't drink. I'm not taking criticism on that.

Evie and Carlos can do shots of pure vodka. Evie likes champagne more, though. She also has a vendetta against red wine, which was her mother's drink of choice, because it looks like blood, duh. Oh, and Aperol Spritz! (She and Audrey should be allowed to gossip and/or plan murder over a glass of Aperol. Ginny too. They'd vibe.)

Technically, Jay and Jade aren't allowed to drink for their own safety. Not because they'd drink too much, but because they insist on taking their usual Anything-but-the-pavement route no matter what.

One time, after some shots of Tequila, they convinced Audrey to go with them. She almost broke her neck, which might be because she refused to take off her high heels.

Sapphire, Silver and Steel for the character meme, please.

Oh and Harry & Ruth, too, if you feel like it! 💙

Thank you! <3

1. Who would you rather swap aesthetics/outfits with for a day?

Okay, well, this time I'll have the sparkly waistcoat!!

2. Who do you team up with in a 2v2 volleyball match? Which side wins?

Silver. I suspect that Sapphire and Steel will win in this (obviously life or death) game, but who else?

3. If each of them got one million dollars, who would waste/spend their money the fastest?

They are all looking at this question. It does not apply to them.

However, if for some reason they had to dispose of 1 million dollars each because it was, maybe, Evil Money, Silver would be fastest, because that's Silver's nature. More confetti!

4. Who would die first in a horror movie? Who would be the survivor?

Silver. Sapphire and Steel would both survive. To be honest, all three of them would probably make it. They exist in permanent horror movie land and they're all still around. Even after things we shan't mention, they were still surviving.

5. They're all on the run from the law! What crimes did each commit and who is most likely to get caught?

lol. Again, not applicable, and none of them will be caught unless they want to be caught or it somehow happens temporarily because time has sort of made people think they've committed crimes in the middle of an assignment.

Crimes are something they leave to humans. If they committed a crime by their standards, they'd be on the other side, and all three of them have personally turned that proposition down already.

For Harry & Ruth:

1. You have to choose one to erase from their series! Who do you pick?

Look, if I pick Ruth, I'm not watching any more. If I pick Harry, there probably is no Spooks anyway. I'll pick Harry because I feel sure somehow he'd come back. Ruth would manage it at any cost, even without memory of him. She just would.

2. Who would you rather run into in a dark alley at night?

Ruth Evershed! At least there are significantly better odds on my not being assassinated next.

3. Who would you save from a burning building? Who would be more likely to save you from a burning building?

Ruth! I mean, if Harry wasn't there already. And for the other way around, Harry, I think, probably? He was once a field officer.

Mind you, it's Spooks. The odds are I'd probably burn to death tragically in the bomb that detonated before they could stop it.

4. Who would win in a dance-off?

Good question. This is a scenario they would avoid, but I feel Harry would win. But you never know with Ruth. She has hidden depths, likes performing and it doesn't pay to underestimate her.

Best to just enter a dancing competition undercover as partners and stay in via spy tricks.

5. They swap bodies for 24 hours! How badly do they mess up (or improve) each other's lives?

Ruth would probably pull off a reasonably good Harry impression for a day, although she would look at loads of Eyes Only documents she shouldn't be looking at, and she would have to go through a full half hour of panicking first. If she had to make the tough decisions, I think she'd actually be much better than usual, because she likes acting, so once in character as 'Harry' she'd probably just go for it, but it could go either way. Could be fine, could be the end of the world.

Harry OTOH would struggle with not being able to bark orders at people without everyone staring, everyone expecting him to be the sympathetic one and being supposed to know how all the computer systems work, and he's better at dry wit and assassinating his enemies than doing the weekly round up report.

Ruth would have to cover for him a lot.

Alternatively, they just come in, carry on with their respective usual roles while looking like each other and let the rest of Section D worry about what the hell is going on and then tell them all it was a psych test, and at least one of them failed.

However it goes, I don't think anybody's life is improved.

Hello, I recently found your page and really liked what I saw. May I request a Harry Potter matchup (students) both platonic and romantic plus a theme song and a bit of dialogue if possible, please.

I’m a 5’3 female, hetero. I have short black hair and brown eyes. I am a loud introvert and a Virgo, but my MBTI is ENTP while my Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw. My main aesthetic is dark academia though I have a hidden interest in cottagecore and other cute things. I also love sweets and desserts above all else, and have an expensive taste when it comes to food. I have a weak body as I get sick quite easily and have low stamina, but when I still have some energy left, I am extremely active. I also dress rather elegantly and favour dresses over pants. I would describe myself as curious, eccentric, argumentative and feisty, picky, creative, intuitive, unpredictable, honest, sarcastic and a huge smartass. I am not afraid to clap back or stand up for others when wronged or insulted. I enjoy acting clever and mischievously to piss my friends off because I think it's funny, but I know to not take it too far. Even though I am verbally mean-spirited, I do have a deep care for others and tend to show it through actions rather than words. I have the tendency to get obsessed and nerd out over whatever I find interesting, whether it's an obscure part of ancient history, a franchise or character, stories that the lyrics of certain songs are conveying, aquatic animals and birds, floriography, desserts that I liked, legends and myths, unsolved crimes or even some odd conspiracy theories that seemed funny, I could get into it and accidentally stay up all night reading up random trivia about them. I become extremely talkative when it comes to those topics, as I have no shame in discussing and ranting about them to others. My hobbies are drawing, painting, writing, embroidering, travelling, spending time with others, baking and learning about random stuff. As extra pieces of information, I am actually easily flustered when it comes to romance (it's also why I don't show affection through words) and I like someone who I could have "playful" arguments or debates with.

Hello dear 💖, thanks for your request.

For harry potter, romance wise I ship you with:

Draco malfoy 🍏

So I know it's not exactly what you thought but I think draco would be attracted to someone like you.

Draco would think your unbelievable at first, picking on your friends, he would find your feisty side attractive.

He would ask you to attend his manor to show off his riches and Purity.

He would give you secret expensive gifts.

He would tease and bully other people like gryffindors and hufflepluffs.

You would go on dates with him to expensive places.

You would be sick of him talking about potter all the time.

You: so draco, let me guess potter again.

Draco: yeah, it's always potter up to something.

You: for once can we please not talk about him

Draco: ugh fine, what is there we can do that isn't boring in this school.

You: going on a date to diagon ally.

Draco: *goes soft* for you I'll go, but only if we aren't seeing that stupid weasley shop.

You: of course *kisses him*.

You would have to need approval from dracos parents.

Dracos father doesn't necessarily agree with his choosing but admires your rich taste. His mother may think of you as a daughter figure.

Draco and you marry after the voldermort events and have a child with your eyes and his hair. They are sorted into ravenclaw.

Your theme song:

For the platonic side, you would be friends with:

Neville longbottom🌵

I feel like neville longbottom of all people would be loyal to you.

I feel like you would also befriend ginny weasley.

You and neville would hang in the greenhouse and talk about things for hogwarts.

Neville would bring you plants and talk about herbology.

If your down, he would cheer you up.

He would most likely be more accepting of you.

You: ok longbottom, what did ya bring this time.

Neville: uh, thought I would give this to you, it's a Mimbulus mimbletonia.

You: wow, it's a cactus.

Neville: not exactly, it's a rare plant.

You: oh, if you give it here, I can draw it.

Neville: really that would be great.

You would draw the plants and paint them in the greenhouse.

Ginny would also debate things with you.

Neville would probably not get most of the jokes.

Either way your friendship is meaningful.

Your theme song:

Anyways that's all for now:

Ta Ta ✨️

Guess who finished her work early so she can tell you about Logan reunion!!!! Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4.

IDK if you've ever seen the musical Chicago, but I'm 75% sure Logan just has "Cell Block Tango" on the brain this whole arc. After reveling in his dramatic reveal (complete with priest costume I'm still not over), Logan eagerly asks MC if MC missed him, if MC's glad he's back, if MC was treated well, but like, in a very Logan way, so there's some threats sprinkled like cheese on French onion soup. MC decides to react like a sane person, just this once, as a treat. He begs Logan not to kill him.

Begging of course activates Riam, who followed MC here. Logan and Riam trade quips while MC gets progressively more and more entangled with Logan's body like a four-armed octopus. 😂 It is very difficult!! To take this scene seriously!!! I blanked out most of what happened besides kisses okay. And that Riam got shot in the stomach so he would pass out and not detonate the fucking bomb attached to MC's neck.

Logan carries MC like a princess and says, "Let's go home, Alex," AND I DIE. MC passes out while clutching Logan's shirt aldkjaklfjdjflkjfl. When MC wakes up, they're in sketchy warehouse #3. For the first time in chapters, MC's dressed in his own clothes instead of something Riam ordered him to wear. I guess Logan helped a groggy MC change clothes? Changed a passed out MC's clothes? Anyway, it's cute.

There's a lot of talking, so to sum up: Logan loves MC but is pissed that MC left him in jail (to get picked up by Aria). It's very like, Logan will bend heaven and earth for MC, but he wants MC to do the same for him. He feels he must make triple sure MC is still loyal to him and make an itemized list of anyone who hurt MC in Logan's absence. Because, yanno, villain lover.😂 Also, he doesn't know how to remove the tracker/bomb/choker from MC's neck and insults the aesthetic. He likes the collar he put on MC better 😂😂😂

For his part, MC explains that he had to leave Logan to save him (because of the deal with Riam, remember). He loves Logan, but hates that about himself because Logan is so dangerous. There's a slim, slim chance for a peaceful life with Logan, MC, and Hailey. There's a funny line of "The gangs and CIA hate us! They'll chase us to the ends of the earth! Logan, we're literally going to die!!!" And Logan's like "At least we'll die together. Not too bad, right?" asdfghjkl; BABE.

The story suffers here like it does with almost all love confessions in the Maybe app. Since this takes places before the player chooses their ending, we can't fully hop on the Logan bandwagon. The words are ambiguous; things aren't fully explained.

And speaking of Hailey, Logan figured out that Hailey's life is what Aria holds over MC. In the past, whenever MC complained about the CIA and its practices, Aria reminded him that Hailey's stellar healthcare depends on his job. Logan took it upon himself to do some digging and, uh, big shocker here, Hailey's already dead. There's a slight implication that Aria murdered her. Logan shows MC her grave and, my friends, Hailey's been dead for YEARS. Like, "the name on the gravestone is slightly worn from weather damage" dead.

MC ping-pongs through the 5 stages of grief and Logan is just. The Most about this. He pushes MC into an open grave and MC drags him on top of him and they flop around kissing and crying and THERE IS A CG:

[[Image ID Kill Your Boss Logan Harris CG 2, Logan pins MC's hands against the crumbling walls of an open grave. The pair kiss while MC cries.]]

Again, they are in an OPEN PIT next to MC's sister's grave. The scene fades to black and I'm like. Are you for serious--and it skips to the next morning with Logan and MC naked and in bed together. jaldkfjakljf MC has a nightmare and Logan kisses away his tears 😭😭😭. MC asks Logan if he knows what it's like to lose a family member. Which is. A bit like asking a blind man to describe the color blue, because Logan was abandoned as a baby to some Catholic missionaries (that's why his priest cosplay is so good!). Logan doesn't know, but remarks that if MC kills Aria, MC'll find out. Which I don't have a problem with because she's scum, but I get it, she gave MC a cookie once upon a time.

MC and Logan start gettin' hot and heavy, but get cockblocked AGAIN by a messenger 😂 Random Gang Member #69 reports that Riam's gang has blown up a supply warehouse. Logan is like GODdamnIT when will this b-hole be mine, and MC laughs at him. 😂You have a choice to stay behind or go with Logan to confront Riam's gang, and I chose to go.

Reminder that throughout all this, MC STILL HAS A BOMB WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK. Hello!! Can we take care of this!!! Does ANYONE want to take this off please. Pls. I guess since MC is in their warehouse now, Riam and Noah decide to show up and "rescue" MC from Logan. Which is hilarious to me because Riam put a BOMB on him. Why is he a better option? I guess the most safe option is Noah?? Somehow the person I was most suspicious of is now the most trustworthy.

Everyone's in the same place!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. This won't end well. 😱😭

We'll have to see which drama king MC ends up with: I checked the book's comments section, and it appears there's not 4, but 7 endings for Kill Your Boss. There's the typical bad ending, where MC doesn't haven enough Heart points for any of the Love Interests. Then each Love Interest has a normal and a good ending. To get the good, HFN ending, their Hearts need to be at 100%. The Maybe app is infamous in my mind for the brutality of their non-good endings, so we'll have to see who I have the best chance with. Worse case scenario, I reset the book and play again while consulting the walkthrough.

Link to Part 6, the finale!
