Recently started revising and reuploading Counting the Stars, a Voldemort Wins AU fic I wrote a couple years ago. ♥️ My writing has improved a lot and I can't wait to see where the revision takes me this time around!
Tumblr media
Harry is dead. Voldemort is King. Narcissa is dying and Hermione is the only one who can help. After five years of running and losing the last people she loves, Draco offers her sanctuary in exchange for her experimental healing brew.
Poisoner to the King, Draco is dangerous and slightly unhinged, tolerating her presence as much as he despises it. Hermione is carrying dark secrets that she's doing her best to forget, but her volatile interactions with Draco threaten to destroy the walls she's so carefully built around them.
But Draco's hiding secrets of his own. Secrets with cerulean scales, tiny sharp teeth, and little leathery wings.
Things may seem bleak in Voldemort's dark world, but Hermione won't stop fighting to survive until she runs out of stars to count.
[REVISION & REUPLOAD]
Chapter 2 coming tonight or tomorrow morning :)

I write my truths
My faults...
The hurt I feel
You've read it all
I am an opened diary
I have nothing to hide
Every post you see is how I feel inside
It may seem one sided
But I'm sure others can relate
Anything I've said is up for debate
I've been at this for years
And at times it seemed like a struggle
This writing thing fits to me like pieces of a puzzle
I write for you, I write for me
My words can be meant for anybody
I don't want to stop
I'm so close to the top
It's been written
And I hope you all can bare witness
-jeroberts

Who am I if I'm not beautiful ..? Who am I if I don't command attention when I walk in a room without speaking a word .. Who am I if I'm not sexual or seductive and fulfill all wants and needs?.. Who am I if I am not desired and fantasized and wanted by all Who am I if I'm not the immaculate mother whore and will still beg for more Who am I if I just stop..? Am I still A Woman? Or just a woman?..

🌙 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰🌙
Ace of Spades
Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This book is accurately described as Gossip Girl meets Get Out. With dark academia vibes this mystery/thriller dives deep into issues like high school drama, homophobia, racism, and more! Popular girl Chiamaka has nothing in common with musical prodigy Devon but when a masked bully starts attacking them both…they must find out what it takes to bring down a hidden nemesis!
How do I put into words what this book means to me and how it had impacted me?!😩 I’ll try! The writing in this book is incredible. Chiamaka and Devon are so complex, with flaws but also the capacity to grow which they do by the end of the book! And the THEMES!!!!! I want to have an in depth discussion with Faridah (or a book club lol) about all the subtle/not subtle themes throughout the book—like the LITERAL SPADES!
*spades are so poignant in Black culture!*
I could go on but I won’t spoil anything! Addressing issues like systemic racism, homophobia, etc. is very tough and uncomfortable for people to talk about, but in this book it is digestible in a way where you can see how it affects these two main characters so radically. I strongly encourage everyone to read this book!
*also I got this beautiful Revolution Card Deck that I thought was so fitting for this book! It features different prominent Black leaders throughout the deck🤍*
𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 (+): Black representation, LGBTQ+ representation, audiobook narrators are great!,
𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 (-): none
𝐂𝐖/𝐓𝐖: mention of death

YOUR BODY IS YOUR COUNTRY.
Tumblr media
There is a difference between what your heart longs for and what the world tells you that you should have. Regardless of how you feel about your body, and regardless of how everyone else perceives it, your body wants you — deeply.
You’re simply in the midst of arrival, and these letters will help you along the way.
My name is Patience: former Lecturer of English in the Netherlands and current Lecturer of English on the East Coast. Your body is your country, and I will help you to heal from bodily disarray.

[NEWSFLASH] The wait is finally over! All six episodes of FX's Kindred are available for streaming on Hulu. Who are you watching the landmark show with? Also, a little trivia for you...swipe left for more Kindred fun facts! This series is based on the highly acclaimed 1979 novel, also titled Kindred, by Octavia E. Butler. The novel is usually classified as science fiction, though Butler herself (in a 1991 interview with Randall Kenan in the journal Callaloo) characterized the book as fantasy rather than science fiction: "Kindred is fantasy. I mean literally, it is fantasy. There's no science in Kindred. I mean, if I was told that something was science fiction I would expect to find something dealing with science in it. For instance, Wild Seed [a later novel by Butler] is more science fiction than most people realize. The main character is dealing with medical science, but she just doesn't know how to talk about it. With Kindred there's absolutely no science involved. Not even the time travel. I don't use a time machine or anything like that. Time travel is just a device for getting the character back to confront where she came from."

Easy To Love
It's easy to love me
Yet, you make it seem so difficult
Play me music
I love music of all kinds
Show me art
I love art, I even make it some times
Read me a book
I love books, I get so excited when I receive one
Take me somewhere I've never been
I love nature, I love to explore
I love to sight see, it makes me feel free
All these things makes it so easy to love me
Where is the difficulty?

ADDICTED
I came across this drug and regret it everyday..
Rehab, or meetings couldn't help me recover..
It's blissful mind altering, invigorating effects takes a hold of your soul
On a trip so high you no longer have control
Your thoughts your feelings are no longer your own
Floating, soaring,tingling
Smiling to yourself
Creating a world that nothing can reach
Until that drug is out of your system
not because you can't get it or no longer
It's ripped away by something unseen
You crash so hard you think you're gonna die
Bitter
Cold
Angry
Sad
Lonely.. No consoling
Shaken and weakened
The light has gone from your eyes and your heart just stops beating..
This drug called L-O-V-E
Killed me....
