Any other one piece fans (when trying to encourage people to watch/read one piece) hold back from being like “You think Berserk made you cry? You wouldn’t survive One Piece.” “One Piece will make you cry like no other piece of art you’ve ever consumed in your life.”?

#I’m at the end of water seven/enies lobby and I know what happens because I read the manga and it DID make me cry then too #but the anime just made me sob like a freaking baby #WHY IS LIKE THIS #LIKE THAT GUY KNOW HOW TO FUCKING WRITE #YOU PUT A SOMEWHAT GOOD SOUNDTRACK ON IT TO REACH INTO THE EXACT PART OF YOUR SOUL ODA GOES AFTER #AND BLAAAAAM #YOURE DEAD #Like One Piece— I’m sorry none one piece for what I’m about to say— #but one piece should not be on the same playing field as top teir mangas. they just aren’t the same. #everyone who is grabbed by one piece by episode one knows what I’m saying. #I’m sorry happy One Piece has surpassed Harry Potter. Next the Bible. #One Piece = The Bible jokes are actually starting to get out of control #there’s so many typos in these tags #AND I DO MEAN READ BERSERK WHO WATCHES BERSERK #ON RECOMMENDATION?! nah never watch berserk

Really fucking stupid patch notes, wizardposting edition

Fixed a bug where @the-gnomish-bastard could NOT turn back into a normal gnome when using "Become Lead Statue" in some cases. This somehow applied to every "Become Statue" spell but the Lead one was the most broken one

Fixed a bug where Meme Summons straight up couldnt work if you had more mana than usual. No, we have no idea what the fuck happened

Fixed interactions with every variant of @the-wizard-council-blog, including the Illegal one, the NSFW one, The worse one, The better one, and all other iterations

Fixed a bug where the stew arcanum was straight up uncraftable because all the data was gibberish. This was fixed a few versions ago and now you only need 3 high-tier gods to make it. Also you need Meme-Infused Magic Spellwood Bowls to hold this post-post endgame item. Yes, its still too much stew but we kept it like that because its unironically funny

Speaking of magical trees: fixed a bug where some types of trees straight up Did Not Grow unless some form of "chunk loading" was enabled. In other words, what the fuck.

Fixed a bug where stacking too many attack ups made the damage 0 on any "explosive" spell. @official-megumin can now deal 9 quintillion damage (as long as its not over the positive 64-bit integer limit, because then the bug stays) (also the code is less fucked)

Fixed a bug where some unusual but valid items for wands and staves (such as LITERALLY EVERY NUCLEAR METAL and some fantasy ones like orichalcum and australium) straight up couldnt exist.

Added more items to mythril, but this time everything you can do with mythril can be done with other materials, so now you can choose between mythril orichalcum AND adamantine depending on the color

Adamantium crafting now doesnt require a bordering-on-hyperbole amount of adamantine. Also you now need industrial steel instead of normal one.

Fixed a bug where "Triple Summon of Meth Berserk Chimps" not only was unobtainable, but required over 2.14 billion mana. Granted it was unreleased back then but then it was released and it still was in its testing stage

Fixed a bug with many spider-themed spells not really being "spidery", this one goes out for our boy @autism--wizard, may you find many cute spooders in ur life :3

Fixed a bug where "induce memetic stroke" accidentally... told people about the meme. Whoops.

"TACO BELL TACOSPELL OF INTESTINAL IMPLOSION" fixed to deal less damage than the psychological damage. We know its a forbidden spell but fuck you we are not sending people to the therapist because omega diharrea

Speaking of: fixed a bug where "steal item" could work on vital organs. Youre gonna learn "Spell Of True Thievery" and youre gonna shut the fuck up about it

Fixed a bug where non-sentient kobolds could be... "milked". Yes mr gnome. KILK existed and it was kobold sperm this entire time. This is why you said it didnt exist, CAUSE THAT SHIT WASNT MILK CHIEF! Anyways now KILK actually doesnt exist so y'all better shut the fuck up or FIND A MILKABLE SOMETHING WITH A K IN ITS NAME

Fixed a bug where familiars didnt familiar. Yes it was terrifying in every way ever, so thank @familiar-union for this. Yes thwy cant be tagged by us idfk why

Fixed mithril tools being literal reskins of their steel equivalents. Whoops!

Fixed a bug where that one April Fools joke of "summon cock" actually summoning a penis. Now it actually summons a rooster (and a really big one)

Speaking of that, Summon Rooster has been fixed and now its a better version of the aforementioned spell

Fixed the interaction between A LOT of spells. Turns out that 99% of harry potter being trash doesnt stop people from doing Dragonball Beam Struggles with their spells. Also yes, elements apply

Fixed a few lines of code so that now the "use pokemon typings" option doesnt disintegrate the UI. Over 120k spells and each and every single one of them now has functioning typing. Now shut the fuck up wE DID IT

Fixed retrocompatibility issues. Now runescape can scape the runes! (HR is fully aware that the joke is shit) (but fuck it, it was funny)

Fixed a bug where any "Robot" something would bug up and change colors. Considering that people somehow managed to make trans flags with this, we added a transgender flag skin for every "robot", "wulfrum", and similar tech spells.

Greatrererest Blahaj Blast Barrage now has a hitbox AND a cost. It can be set as your ult and we already have the Gold, Platinum, Uranium and other skins ready. Yes the transgender skin is unlocked by default if you already have the spell, and if you dont- Magical Battlepass has it at levels 10, 32, and 69 (otherwise you get materials and xp) Because the one battlepass that works without FOMO and Whaling had to be the magical one

Fixed a bug where "draconic" items were only easily obtainable by dupe glitches. We may not have fixed those but we upped the drop rates so you dont have to exterminate dragons for one singular heart. Now it takes 3 dragons at most! (Yeah so it turns out the drop rates were HELLA WRONG. Whoopsie daisy!)

Speaking of that: Draconic Evolution Backporting works now! Now when you use a staff of power, people wont think its an euphemism for your di-

Magical swords now can be made woth higher tier elements. No idea why would you need an Entropic Steel Magic Sword but fuck it. You deserve to put some sparkles on that Alien X looking ass blade

The Throngler's Gold Skin now doesnt make it a mess of metal and gold. Now its actually good

Fixed a bug where bad connection made the online version of "the potion seller's strongest potion" unplayable because some elements were only obtainable in multiplayer. Fuck you and your theories about thwnpotion seller being an eldritch dragon eater. LoL. KeK even

The Augur Dragon now doesnt get stuck flying in circles above the Forbidden Volcano Arena. Now it actually CAN hit you from 10000ft in the air!

The marble wyvern boss (and therefore all other marble wyverns) actually drop the dragon marble builders want

Added tier XVII to the Magical Engine. Also recipes for Tier Ascension were fixed.

N2O Blast was fixed to deal hellfire instead of fire. And also being blue. It was easier than you believe

Using "Golden Shower (Metal) actually rains coins instead of being "golden shower but identical and deals steel damage"

Sniler's quests now update in 1 hour instead of 24, and the quests are better. During multiplayer, there are 5 quests avaiable instead of 3

Ghastly Mist now actually blinds opponents instead of being really dense

"F.I.S.T." can no longer be boosted by attack boosts, but nOW its damage is "(999 × your level + (your attack stat × 2)) × 2", and its cast cost went from 1000 mana to 1200.

More scroll duplication bugs were fixed, but the "use Grant Spell Usage onto a low level non-magic enemy so they have a spell that they cant use and then using Turn Into Scroll" has been made into an ACTUAL feature. Go ahead and make a billion "Scroll of Imaginary Technique: Hollow Purple"!

"Starlight Thunderstorm" now has 1% paralysis

Removed the "domain expansion" function until we figure out how THAT works. Theres still the tab, and when it will be implemented just send screenshots of what "domain expansion customizations" and then youre getting them once we implement them

[sumedhaaaaaaaaaa]

Hello there, it’s me Momo🩷

Here’s a little description of things I love and envy

I’m from the Indian subcontinent.

Spent my entire childhood between mountains and valleys. For a change shifted to Delhi which I regret tremendously.

I love farming, gardening, stitching clothes, crocheting, writing poems and maintaining a journal.

I enjoy long walks and bicycle rides.

I prefer going to a bookstore or a restaurant all by myself. I love self-dates.

I want to settle someday at an unknown meadow with mountains and lakes at a cottage core house, with big windows and minimalistic furniture with a wooden chimney, a library with some cats and the man I love.

I’m a student, fortunately academically gifted/blessed.

I did my undergrad from Indraprastha college for women under the university of Delhi in the discipline of geography Hons. Currently pursuing my masters from Jamia Millia Islamia.

I love movies; and my favourite genre is dystopian reality. So far I have watched 750+ movies which include almost every linguistic diversity as I strongly believe in the adherence of, “you can’t find gold unless you dig the dirt.”

I love reading books, like a lot. I can speak 5 different languages and out of them, 3 languages are engraved within my system. Starting from Greek Literature Iliad by Homer to metaphysics by aristotle; reading short stories of Rabindranath Tagore in Bengali as well as reciting Gazals of Gulzar in Hindi itself, I believe I have defined base in my own culture as well as to others. Again, when it comes to dystopian, I envy reading The Hunger Games and The Maze Runners. Do Androids dream of electric sheep? Comes under my top 5 dystopian reads; as this book was later adopted into a world class movie franchise called The Blade Runner. I lean towards Harry Potter more than The Lord of the Rings. I have read A song of ice and fire which people are so batshit crazy about and famously known as the “Game of thrones.” I didn’t watch a single episode but I know more than any fan I believe.

If you intervene and ask, then yeah you can think of me as a “nerd” hehehe because my preference and taste of things leans towards being more of geek tbh🩷🩷

I also enjoy watching animated series/anime and sit coms. I’m a sucker for The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon and will rewatch them for an eternity if asked. My favourite anime is Gintama but the list is peculiar and long as I have been watching anime/reading manga since I was 9 years old. My first anime was Dragon Ball z and Pokémon. I also watched Doraemon and Shinchan series/movies. The list goes on when it comes to entertainment but mine is more restricted than common which people watch out of peer pressure. Below are some examples for understanding my taste and likings.

2. Interstellar

3. The Dark knight

4. The Dark knight Rises

14. Barakamon

15. Bunny Drop

Top 10 Anime Movies

1. Princess Mononoke by Studio Ghibli

2. Up from the poppy hill by Studio Ghibli

3. My neighbor Totoro by Studio Ghibli

4. The End of Evangelion by Hideaki Anno

5. Spirited Away by Studio Ghibli

6. Perfect blue by Satosi Kon

7. Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo

8. Ghost in the Shell by Mamoru Oshii

10. Doraemon: Nobita’s new dinosaur by Kazuaki Imai, Toshihisa Yokoshima, in collaboration with Kyoto animation studio Wasabi Mizuta, Megumi Ohara, Shihoko Hagino.

I know it may seem boring and I usually don’t find people with such diversity, but it would be good to be a part of this community. I envy people who respects art and literature of every culture and not demeaning them.

Have a good day people muah 🩷

20 Questions For Fic Writers

Thanks for tagging me @marley-manson! <3

I would tag people but it's late and my brain is tired so literally, PLEASE just adopt this tag meme if you see it and read the whole thing. You have my full permission to say I tagged you, even if we've never spoken lol. Go for it, be audacious.

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

43,487!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Well the posted fic is a Berserk fic, but I have various other wips that I pick away at when I'm bored. Among them include Eyeshield 21, MDZS, RotE, Harry Potter (technically?). Those are the most recent ones anyway.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Chain of Dissent, she's my favorite fic <3 (she's my only fic)

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yeah I try to! Though I'll admit uhhhh I haven't updated it in... fucking? two years? god, and so I've been bad about responding to the more recent comments because I feel guilty for not updating in so long :') Really gotta get back to it.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

None, because I haven't finished a fic yet lol

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not so far! I've gotten a couple of comments that come across as unintentionally mildly rude, but definitely nothing that constitutes as hate.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Well not so far in CoD, but, ahem, I have written smut in one of my wips lol. Deeply self indulgent but I guess character driven? It's mildly nasty and desperate <3

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I haven't actually written a crossover (yet. well, recently) but they are a bit of a passion of mine lmao. I love ridiculous crossovers, and I'm talking about "a magical portal opens up and throws characters from fandom A into the world (& characters) of fandom B" type shit. I don't need the ways in which the characters interact to make sense, I just want them to be thrown together and see where it goes from there. Fish out of water shenanigans! Characters questioning their own motivations and idea of life by seeing a world entirely different from theirs!! Just like, fun shit! I also absolutely don't need for the two fandoms to be similar lol. I have a somewhat detailed Berserk/Eyeshield 21 crossover living rent free in my head so clearly anything goes.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Lol no.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I'll probably have to say GriffGuts, because it's a ship that's gripped me by the neck for the past 7 years or something, where my interest in it hasn't really waned.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Uhhhh, idk? I mean I am DETERMINED to finish CoD, so that's out. And the wips I write in my spare time are just like, things I do for fun where I don't put any pressure on myself over it. I'm not planning on posting them anywhere, and I'm not generally planning on 'finishing' them either. I mean if I do finish one, I might post it, but again, they're low key things that I'm not taking too seriously.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Hm. I honestly don't consider myself a very strong writer, at least in terms of things like prose and sentence structure, grammar, that sort of thing. I think I'm pretty decent at figuring out the direction that I want the story to go, and all the individual steps that need to happen to get to that point in a way that feels organic (at least, imo.) And I like to think I'm pretty good at characterization-- having the characters behaving and reacting in ways that feel like could concievably happen in canon is generally what I'm going for.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Yeah prose, lol. I mean, I don't actually dislike my more.... utilitarian writing style, mainly because I generally prefer reading more direct writing (unless the lyrical writing is really really good), but I do think I could inject some more illustrative details and metaphors into my writing overall. @marley-manson is SO good at coming up with perfect metaphors to describe a situation or feeling, all while perfectly recreating the character's voice, and I really admire that about her writing!

I also want to get better with having characters like, doing things while they're talking. I find a lot of the conversations I write happen between characters just kind of standing around, which obviously is fine but I'd like to construct scenes with a bit more specificity in the future.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Wait so like, say in a fic that is otherwise written in English, having a line of dialogue written in Spanish when a character is speaking it? I... don't have strong feelings about it one way or the other I guess lol. I mean ideally the line(s) written in the other language are correct lol, and not just badly google translated or something.

Though you know, now that I think about it, I feel like it would work best between languages that use the same alphabet (which does end up narrowing the possible languages down quite a lot) because that way the reader can still sound out the dialogue even if the don't understand the language, which could emulate what the pov character is experiencing. Whereas if it was a fic written in English, and then had a line written in, say, Japanese, the reader wouldn't even be able to sound it out so it's kind of a brick wall. (Unless there's footnotes, but that tends to be a little more clunky in fic than in a published book with pages).

If the readers are supposed to understand the dialogue written in another language, like two characters suddenly start speaking in said other language and we're meant to keep up with the conversation, then I feel like it's just easier to translate their words in whatever language the fic is written in otherwise.

But yeah idk, I think with intent and good execution, anything can work, but it could also be done in a way that's more annoying than anything.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I think. It was neopets LMFAO. I remember writing a fic when I was like 10 about Hannah (the adventurer) and Jacques (from the maraqua plot comic) as a romantic couple because I was annoyed at the time that there were multiple fics about Hannah and Garin (or whatever his name was, also from the maraqua plot) getting together even though I thought Garin was BORING and they were just shipped together because they were both usuls (which are overrated imho), even though Jacque was obviously better.

... I may have had a crush on Jacques.

But the first fic that I think I posted anywhere was for Xiaolin Showdown lmfao, probably also when I was 10 or 11 or something. I wrote like four separate fics for that show.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Yeah it's CoD lol. It's the longest thing I've written so far, and I'm overall still very proud of it. I'd probably go back and change some things in the first chapter because it reads a little clunky and like, abrupt to me now, but I'm not doing that until I finish the fic. Allowing myself to go back and edit stuff before I've even finished the story seems like a road to ruin lol.

#tag meme #marley-manson #ty for tagging me! this was fun #but now i am yawning all over the place so I gotta sleeeepppp #have work in the morning rip

I love the fact that Draco willingly annoys/antagonize people who can and has kicked his ass. He's that desperate for attention. Either that or he's a masochist. I think Draco secretly gets a kick out of seeing how far he can push people. Especially after getting a punched in the face by Hermione. Even if it ends badly for him he still seeks it out. Which is kinda sad when you think about it. He has no true friends. Lucius is his dad. And he seeks attention by annoying the hell out of Harry and his friends till they snap.

Oh yes, I too see Draco as someone who’s be taunting people relentlessly just to see how far he can go. And when the shit got real (book 6) his taunts became almost non-existent because he no longer cared for it.

I strongly believe that Malfoys loved and adored Draco fiercely. In book 1 we’re shown that he’s constantly getting home-cooked sweets, in book 3 Lucius goes full berserk over an animal hurting his son (I don’t support killing animals for their normal reactions but I can see his reasoning of “MY BABY’S BEEN HURT”). In book 2 his exasperated with “yes, Draco, you told me all about it” in regards to Harry (I don’t remember the exact quote) which implies that each and every time Draco went on on his rant over Harry Lucius listened. And Narcissa’s love for her child is simply unquestionable. I always loved the moment at the very end of book 7, when the fighting resumed but Malfoys couldn’t care less and were just running through it looking for their son. (WHO DIDN’T LEAVE HOGWARTS EVEN AFTER HARRY’S “DEATH” DESPITE EVERYTHING LOOKING AS IF HOGWARTS LOST! Will never forgive the film for screwing this up. HE. STAYED. IN. HOGWARTS. AND. DIDN’T. REJOIN. VOLDEMORT’S. SIDE. AS. SOON. AS. HE. HAD. A. CHOICE.)

To me, Draco does sick attention with his taunts not because he lacks that attention home, but because he’s so used to be the center of attention for his parents that he can’t grasp the idea of not being it in school. To him not having friends… we don’t know anything about it so the sky is the limit here. He was genuinely broken and distraught with Crabbe’s death in book 7, so we know he at least truly cared for him. I always thought that he and Pansy were good/best friends, perhaps they too grew up together (with their fathers being “colleagues”) and I also always liked the idea of his friendship with Blaze being the only one not brought on by having Death Eating parents (as I recall his mother has remained neutral through both wars but even if it’s just my headcanon, I’m sticking with it), the only friend he made on his own, smth like that.

Have I mentioned that I headcanon that getting punched in the face by Hermione was the moment that he fell for her? Years later when I watched OUAT and they had “getting punched in the face” as the meet-cute for two generations of Charmings I squealed because it reminded me of Dramione and what could’ve been 😂

Random question. Favorite author/s?

I love this question!

Got me really thinking and most of them are on AO3 haha! But, this is probably a way longer post than it needs to be BUT LET ME GUSH!

FanFic Authors

Krebony - I love their story You Are My Home. It is such a sweet Ominis story and I am praying for the day it gets updated cause I am invested in what happens. I love the way Ominis is written (strong and sweet and protective and cunning) and it's a super sweet story with angst.

Lana_Morrigan - I love her Arcana - Julian story The Mirror Cracked. I love how she incorporated fairy tales into her story and it was just such a fun and heartfelt read. I enjoy reading very different prose from my own -> helps me grow more and branch out from the normal.

heartsof_theround - omg I love her story Our Floral Courtship. It was so cute and kept me on the edge of my seat. I love how she used the language of flowers (makes me want to do something in regards to that it was just so freaking CUTE).

@applinsandoranges - I love pretty much all of her one-shots because they're so well written and I love how sweet and cute most of them are (im sure everyone is sensing a trend with this and i am a sucker for cute and sweet content).

@eggymf - I love that she's putting in so much time and effort into crafting a long, multi-chapter story. I love hearing her ideas and how she executes them into her stories. I love how she writes Ominis - and I'm excited to see where OPPAW goes!

---------------------

NON FANFIC Writers

Kazutoyo Maehiro, Natsuko Ishikawa, Banri Oda - the genius writers behind Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward (the critically acclaimed award winning expansion lolll). I am still reeling over the emotional devastation they caused me, and it's been a year since I played it. The characters they crafted will stick with me for a long, long time. It's truly amazing how someone can make a character - then make you care so much about them. It's an art I would love to hone and master - and I admire them greatly for being able to do this so freaking well. Like I don't cry much when I'm reading, but damn did I cry like a baby. A literal SOBBING BABY. Just... amazing.

Kentaro Miura - the legend who wrote Berserk. I'm not really into gritty, dark stories, but wow. Just wow. He made me appreciate the trials and hardships of what a character/person may go through - and how they may emerge and change from it. It's really beautiful how you can write the human spirit that survives even when everything seems against them. It's really made me think about how I write future characters -> what makes them human

J.K. Rowling - probs a controversial take, but I admire how she created a world, a literal world, that is such an huge part of society. When you think of wizards -> you think of Harry Potter. I believe that's an amazing accomplishment to have so many people love your stories and to be so invested in this magical world. She inspired a lot of people's imaginations and I think that's the end goal of every writer -> to inspire imagination. And I hope to keep doing that (even with my dumb lil writings about Ominis or whatever)

Brandon Sanderson - Currently reading Mistborn, but he's the first author that I'm reading with a different sort of lens. I'm viewing his work as a fellow author (i know, i know - hot take of me calling myself an author butttt). It's been interesting breaking down his work and how he structures things. I love how he's made the magic system and world easy to digest without it being boring. You're in this world - and it's so organic. You learn more and more without it being overwhelming. You start to really understand the magic system, and it's so freaking cool. I love his prose - as I'm not the biggest fan of flowery prose - and his is a bit more straight to the point.

-------------------------------------------

There's many more I could put on here - honestly there's so many fanfic writers that don't get enough credit, but they're doing the Lord's work out there. I love all of their creativity and how they inspire others with their stories and characters.

Thanks again for the ask! <3 <3

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the fight between Remus and Harry in DH. Because throughout the series we see Remus manipulating Harry by bringing up James, but for the first time, Harry brings up James in a situation that is the most relevant, and Remus goes BERSERK.

hello 💜💜 i’m so sorry for how long this has been lying in my inbox but i’ve got so much to say and not enough time for it 💀

i don’t think anything i say re this will come as a surprise to anyone who knows me lol i feel like that fight was such a good opportunity to show, in narrative, remus at fault without excusing his actions and the text still missed the mark. i’ve talked before about this, but remus always gets off scot free with no consequences or even reproach for any of his shitty actions and i think this comes under the same banner. iirc even hermione’s like ‘wtf harry’ because of his response, right?

but here, we see him acting shitty in a manner u absolutely cannot ignore. i mean, there’s a point to which ur willing to ignore a grown man’s agency and actions, right? and i feel like ‘abandoning ur wife and unborn kid in the middle of a whole war’ is waaaaaay past that point. we can talk all day about how he thought he was in the right, how he might’ve actually brought misfortune to them by virtue of who he was, but that still doesn’t excuse what tonks would’ve been going through, esp considering her own dad pulled a similar stunt.

you bring up such a great point re james. remus had absolutely no problems invoking his name when he wanted to guilt trip harry (i keep saying this but their conversation in poa horrifies me every time i think about it) but the moment he gets it back? it’s all ‘oh woe is me how dare u’. kinda makes me think remus never had to deal w the consequences of his actions (which like,,,am i wrong tho) bc all the misfortune he has, he attributes to his condition and never his own actions. he basically operates on an external locus of control and the people around him keep enabling it. (ofc a lot of this is conjecture + influenced by what i’ve seen in fandom bc we (i?) don’t actually know that much about him & his motivations from the text) and i think when he actually is held accountable, he’ll go straight on the defensive bc he doesn’t know how to handle it.

imo remus is super, super self destructive and not that capable at maintaining healthy relationships. for all that people go on and on about james and sirius being assholes and bullies, remus is actually so much more insidious in terms of being ‘toxic’. i really think harry was so right for doing what he did, not matter how much shit he gets for it, because someone has to. his friends won’t, people in authority aren’t, and he gets to go through life blaming everything except himself.

i feel like this is super unsympathetic to him lol but that scene in dh is actually one of my favs just because someone is finally saying something to Saint Remus and the fact that it’s harry, of all people? u go bby!!! it was also such a thoughtless action on remus’ part bc he’s telling this to a literal orphan who grew up abused and neglected. also!! the way it portrays him on the complete end of the spectrum as james (who we know is the ‘embodiment of bravery’ in the text bc of his actions therefore, remus is an absolute coward which, self professed but now proved further) which really makes u understand harry’s pov too, i think. because he idolised his dad, ykno? and he’s heard remus talk about their bond before, and we know harry’s judged people by comparing (and associating) them to his parents right? so it just makes remus come off even worse.

ultimately, i think it was just another selfish + narrow minded action in a long list that we can attribute to remus. can we explain them? sure. but does that justify it? i personally don’t think so, but others can obv disagree. remus wasn’t thinking of tonks or baby teddy or harry when he offered to accompany them, no matter how much he tried to spin it that way and i think that lying (to both others & himself) is v characteristic of his personality throughout the whole series. he’s a serial manipulator and no one’s safe from it, not even him.

(i’m reading this and it’s so rambly gosh. i hope some of it made sense?)

#remus lupin critical #re ted doing something similar #i read a fic where that was explored #and andromeda was so angry and so hurt that ted left them #and it really changed my whole opinion on such a minisucle plot point lol #and then got me thinking about the parallels between his actions and remus’ #something about people claiming to be selfless while actually being v v selfish #bc ultimately their actions didn’t (wouldn’t have?) help(ed) #but they would have eased their conscious #but fuck what the people who were left behind thought right? #and remus making harry godfather is another can of worms i haven’t even touched here lmao #that one bothers me ngl #only my love for teddy keeps it at bay lol #this one’s a bit…unfiltered bc i just wrote what came to mind #but yeah #differing opinions r always welcome ofc #we love discussions on here #pen’s asks

HD Pet / Familiar fic recs

Here are a few Harry/Draco recs heavily featuring pets/familiars. Listed in alphabetical order, as always.

All Life is Yours to Miss by Saras_Girl [114k]

Professor Malfoy’s world is contained, controlled, and as solitary as he can make it, but when an act of petty revenge goes horribly awry, he and his trusty six-legged friend are thrown into Hogwarts life at the deep end and must learn to live, love and let go.

Any Instrument by @dictacontrion [131k]

Draco Malfoy wouldn’t go back to England for anything less than an exceptional case. Being asked to figure out why Harry Potter can’t control his magic might be exceptional enough to qualify.

Azoth by @lol-zeitgeistic [88k]

Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

Don’t mind if I keep your tie (And your heart, babe) by Ingi [21k]

The Eighth year common room has a parrot in it, courtesy of McGonagall and her mad search for interhouse bonding.

Most of the time, it’s just there, until one day it repeats “Potter has a damn fine arse.” And the Slytherins know exactly who the parrot’s mimicking…

Draco is not amused.

The Full Monty by @magpiefngrl [9k]

Harry poses for a naked Auror calendar and Draco goes batshit crazy with lust.

Headlights in the Snow by Saras_Girl [71k]

What’s big and purple and smells like tea? Harry is about to find out. Advent fic 2016.

Helix by Saras_Girl [92k]

Seven months after the end of the war, Harry is feeling lost. Fortunately, he is about to be offered an unexpected and sparkling chance to find himself again. [2014 advent fic]

If the Fates Allow by Saras_Girl [80k]

What’s that crackling in the walls? Harry has no clue at all. He’ll eat some cake and drink some wine Because he is completely FINE.

 –A story about life’s disregard for our plans. [2017 advent story]

The Light More Beautiful by @firethesound [81k]

Thirteen years after Draco accepts Potter’s help escaping the horror of his sixth year, he returns to England where he makes the unfortunate discovery that Potter is still as obnoxious as ever. And worse, more than a decade overseas hasn’t been enough to dim Draco’s obsession with him.

My Little Berserker by @aelys-althea [105k]

Eighth year was supposed to be calm. Moderated. Peaceful, even. Draco returned to escape the chaos wrought upon his shambles of a life and Harry to flee the responsibility of a world that sees him as something greater than was truly possible. Hogwarts was a safe haven, right?

At least it was until Hagrid comes up with the wonderful idea to introduce some additional members to the student body of the fluffier variety. Hagrid doesn’t do moderated - where’s the fun in that?

Potential Gravity by @lol-zeitgeistic [32k]

Draco is not good at Cards Against Humanity, but Harry’s not good at being human, so it all works out. Except for the explosions. And Harry’s inability to live when Draco’s not around.

red and green are complimentary colours by ace_0fhearts [88k]

After the war Hermione manages to convince Harry to go back to Hogwarts for his eighth year. Expecting an uneventful year of classes and rooming with the other Gryffindor boys, he’s surprised when McGonagall tells him he’ll be sharing a room with Draco Malfoy.

Now Harry has to get through a year of arguments and awkward silences. Or he would, if Malfoy would stop ignoring him and moping around the castle alone.

Or: Draco and Harry fall in love through sleepless nights and late night quidditch games

Serpentes by xErised [29k]

It’s a shame that Draco Malfoy looks so good stripping in a club with stolen snakes, because Auror Harry’s got a job to do.

Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop [70k]

It’s Potter’s fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It’s been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco’s getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he’s falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?

The Thing About Cats and Dogs by megyal [3k]

A very small view into the life of Harry and Draco and a cat and a dog.

Turn by Saras_Girl [306k]

One good turn always deserves another. Apparently.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

What if it had been CJ that Audrey had threatened in D3, instead of Celia?

She knows that the crazy blonde pirate who ran amok around Auradon Prep last year is the sister of one of the pirates who kidnapped Ben. Both of them proudly proclaim that they're the children of Captain Hook. And she knows that Uma, Harry, and Gil joined the others in trying to defeat her. So she....summons CJ with the magic of the scepter, or something, and takes her hostage with...those suits of armor....a magical cage from the scepter....I don't know, something....Look, I know it's very unlikely that CJ Hook of all people would be able to be kept captive and/or put in danger by someone else, but suppose it happened this one time.

And then Audrey yells out to them from the roof "Surrender or else!" And at first she thinks she miscalculated, because why should, say, Ben and Chad and the core 4 care about some random pirate? And then she sees how Uma's eyes widen and Gil looks nervous and Harry pales, and she thinks Good, they'll convince or threaten them to surrender-

Harry pales in rage; he goes berserk, because that's his baby sister the pink princess witch has and no one dares harm either of his sisters or else!

Oh, yeah, Audrey is dead.

She miscalculated, but not the way she thought.

The pirates do not consider surrender for a second: most of the time, they do not apply the concept to themselves, really.

And one can only do so much when fighting against angry sea witch, murderous pirate who doesn't fear death and fighter who has their back no matter what. Not to mention the troubled hostage that kerps squirming, yelling encouragment at them, and also pulled another dagger from her boot. Again.

Oh, and she bit her when Audrey went to show her off to her enemies.

And the others join the fight soon, because, well, they do want tk take Queen of Mean out, and no one really argued against saving CJ once Harry hold his hook to Mal's throat.

Really, though, Audrey will be very lucky if Uma convinces Harry to let her live, and maybe that only happens once Auradon threatens to send Sea Three and CJ back to the Isle.

Thanks for the ask and the scenario, btw!

Now I am convinced we need a series of one-shots inserting CJ into all possible plot piints of D3.

#disney Descendants #cj hook #queen of Mean #harry hook #we were robbed of Hook siblings interaction in D3 #we need to correct that

[abriefingwithmichael]

A superb episode. An example of the show at its best.

Jenny O'Hara and Bruce Kirby are wonderful together as an estranged father and daughter. She’s been searching all her life, hoping to meet him. O’Hara has rarely been better. The ending is typically realistic (for the show).

Great b-stories, too. One of them ends with Harris in drag. And does not play out the way you’d expect from an episode made in 1978. Really, the show was very far ahead of its time.

10/10

Chapter 4: Back to Formula

The Osborns had enough money to afford many different kinds of wines. From the sweetest of tastes, to the strongest of kicks. This was why Harry didn't believe a word his father said about the Serum, Spider-Man, and definitely not the identity of the Green Goblin. As much as he wanted to cling to this idea, he knew better. Norman would have himself a drink or two when there was a reason to celebrate. And as far as Harry was concerned his father didn't smell of wine, nor was there anything to celebrate. "You experimented on yourself?" Harry quizzed when the information settled in and there was no way to deny it. His father gave him a nod, and he knew his father wouldn't lie. Right? He kept the whole Goblin thing a secret. But Harry never asked him about it, so it wasn't technically lying.

"Peter sacrificed himself to save me." Norman continued, lifting his shirt a bit to show Harry the bandages that covered the Glider wound. "If it weren't for me, he'd still be alive." He mumbled, putting his shirt back down.

"Don't say that!" Harry burst. Norman looked at the boy, an eyebrow raised a bit. "I'm sure Spider-Man, or Peter, knew what he was doing." Okay, maybe Harry was a little upset Peter never told him his secret. Harry had been his best friend for a long time. He even convinced his dad from time to time to show Parker the higher, richer life. The least Peter could've done was give Harry a little taste of the even higher, hero life. "Besides, you're cured now. Why do you want to bring the Goblin back?" Harry crossed his arms, trying to hide how upset he was about his ex-best friend.

"I don't want to bring the Goblin back. I want to bring New York a hero it needs." Norman explained. "Spider-Man is gone now, and there's no one to defend the people."

"You want to make yourself a hero?"

"If this goes well, hopefully, you could join me." There was a little spark of excitement in Harry's chest. This experiment had to work.

"I'll help you. Please, let me help." Norman thought for a moment and sighed, clearly there was no way he was getting out of this.

"You can help."

•••

It had been weeks and still they had no positive results. Every test rat would go berserk; one even attacked Harry. The two were starting to lose hope. Harry walked into the lab holding two coffees. At least during all their scientific struggles Harry made sure that they took care of themselves at least a little bit. "Coffee break." The boy said, setting a cup in front of Norman, who injected a crazed rat with something that quickly killed it. Norman sighed and stood up.

"Another failed test." He said, washing his hands. "And another mad rat." Harry listened, slowly drinking his coffee. "At this rate we might as well give up." Norman continued, but Harry spaced out, looking at the formula for the cure. He set his drink down as his father continued to rant, and took a small sample of the cure. Norman had another test tube filled with the Serum, ready for tampering. Harry grabbed it and added the sample of the cure to it. The liquid glowed a violent green, then quickly died down to a dark green. Norman had quieted down now, the glow catching his attention. Harry put the liquid into a syringe and carefully injected it into a rat. The rat scratched the spot the Serum was injected into, then lifted its head and sniffed. It didn't act crazy, it didn't attack the two.

"Did it work?" Harry asked.

"Only one way to find out." Norman said, watching the rat.

Watch "Counting Crows - Mr. Jones (Official Music Video)" on YouTube

He borrowed a red dress from Ellie for Halloween she says it didn't go well, said is real rough with people in belligerent when I first saw the tape I started laughing and laughing even though it's there anyways and I couldn't stop laughing and finally I calmed down and I thought why is it so funny it's because it looked on your face when people are saying the stupid s*** it's like Clint Eastwood gone berserk so it sees this red dress and he was asking me is that the one I wore and it was and Ellie is not wearing it no that's Ellie and The blonde is her daughter like that that he's a flamingo dancer and I'm the blonde and they can tell who he was right away as Captain late maker and he's singing to his people saying to Mr Jones wants to be a big star and be famous and not true he's trying to do something and they see it and they say double after their stuff so they get the idea it's better than nothing and I see my husband's point so they're going ahead with it. It's a major battle it's extremely important and yeah he looks like the Winter soldier which is his character here too he tries to mess up the aircraft carriers and blame Tom Cruise and it didn't work he got blamed. The point is so that even if he didn't do this they'd get it done somehow but he went over and did it and he wants his guys involved I guess put some other defensive but really things going real slow. I'm happy to announce this it makes me feel good and he's right up to date and is involved and it is kind of funny because of the dress and he doesn't ever want to do that again was what he said and he never has and these people do it all the time and sister goes what a bunch of fags, he means it too it was Halloween okay people couldn't tell right away and he's bigger than them most of them it wasn't that big almost 6 foot the same things what's your name all sorts of stuff you answer back shoe size... And then say things rude things go home then just here for the Candy crush sake he's answering his voice is regular mouth voice they couldn't tell one guy came up and said you seem kind of manly are you a woman he said and he said it's Halloween okay since I was a guy and started making fun of him more dressed up as a woman just come over here for a second to see his arms are big it's kind of funny looking does anybody for the most part should be able to tell if they couldn't his shoulders are huge this is weird so I wore it as Robin good friend and Robin was big and then wondering if it's the girl from Halloween and then she was I was with him and they're going to play this is trying to make some sense and some of her asking me and it was the same dress so they said this what the hell are you two doing. And we made it to prince and princess of the ball and we of the prom and we got awarded something and he was like boy we were that close and they said thank you I wouldn't have gotten it without you and it's true because it was dancing and being nice so I left and I was happy we're a couple dates and he almost died so he can call me after that I pulled the steering wheel at the wrong time and I don't know what I was doing and then I was trying to fool around was nothing accurate so he was mad and I was angry cuz he jerked my arm away and so why and then stop being angry he thought it was out of control so I guess I have to explain that the others were encouraging me and then again it might not have been me at that point and it could have been Camilla Harris and she was punished supposedly and she was full-blooded at that point. So I have to tell you these are not very comfortable. And she also did the surgery of course
