headcanon that Albus is big into tradition and stuff
hmm i’ve actually never thought about this before. i feel like (with my characterisation of him, at least) he sort of sways with it. like he’s flexible for the most part but there are some things he considers sacred that he legitimately can’t break, like cooking for his dad and mum on fridays or going out to trivia with rose every fortnight or something like that.

even before the transphobia came to light— jkr’s writing can be sooo cruel towards woman & girls for as much as she used to be celebrated as a ‘feminist’
like ginny is introduced as ron’s kid sister who has this big girlish crush on harry. this is mostly just very embarrassing for both of them. it’s fine, they’re middle schoolers.
then ginny has to be the damsel in distress for the second book finale which means she has to be vulnerable, she has to be manipulated (by voldemort’s diary), she has to do bad things (while possessed), and most of all, she has to be helpless and she has to be saved. this is some harrowing shit for an 11 year old to go through, but we don’t get much about it from her perspective bc it’s mostly there so harry and ron can be heroic and strengthen their friendship. ginny is still in the role of damsel by the end of this book.
a couple books later jkr decides to start setting up romances, so harry has a crush on cho chang bc she’s good at sports (which is cute). unfortunately for him, cho is dating harry’s cool seventeen year old crush friend & competitor, cedric digory, so harry is just crushing away, and cho doesn’t have much to do except for politely turn him down. ginny isn’t really important this book, irc i think she goes to magic prom with neville. ron and hermione have their own issues, but this book is mostly set up (both relationship wise & in the greater voldemort plot).
then in the fifth book, their relationship comes to fruition bc cedric died so now cho is single. she’s drawn to harry bc he was friends with cedric & he was there when cedric died , and she hopes that they can process their grief together. unfortunately, harry is having a lot of difficulty processing his grief, so he reacts badly when cho cries or wants to talk about cedric bc it reminds harry of his own feelings he’s trying to avoid. this would be fine on it’s own, except the fandom didn’t recognize harry as an unreliable narrator and began characterizing her as being “whiny” and “weak” and “annoying”. and it would seem like a fandom issue & not jkr’s misogyny, hermione even stands up for cho (although much of that grace is lost when cho/her friend narc to umbridge). meanwhile, ginny is getting cooler and cooler— joining the quidditch team, joining dumbledor’s army, dating boys to let us know she’s moved on from her childhood crush  on harry, and most importantly, joining harry & co at the climactic fight against voldemort, as a hero this time rather than a damsel. why is this a bad thing? it’s not, we love to see a girlboss winning.  but they way jkr writes romance puts these girls in opposition to each other.
in the sixth book, harry realizes he has feelings for ginny, and she is everything cho is not. actually, cho is what ginny used to be, and vice versa. to make sure we know ginny is no longer the vulnerable, emotional, “weak” girl harry saved in the second book, jkr gives these traits to cho instead, as she’s incredibly emotionally vulnerable after losing her first boyfriend, and was hoping that harry would be there for her when he couldn’t.  in dating cho, harry realizes that the reality of being in a relationship with someone is very different from crushing on them from afar, and while cho may be pretty & nice & good at quidditch, she isn’t someone he wants to date (again, mostly because they have incompatible ways of dealing with grief). which is fine, they’re kids, they’re still learning about themselves and other people.  except the fandom/jkr didn’t really delve into that complexity, and it was almost always reduced to saying that cho was “wrong” for harry and ginny is “the right one”.  she does this, proving one love interest is “right” by showing another as “wrong”, in an even shallower way with hermione, ron and lavender brown.  it’s exponentially worse because cho, and lavender in the first five movies, are non-white characters. 
harry starts to catch feelings for ginny, which has significantly more depth than his crush on cho because he’s known her for so long, but he still admires things like her skill at quidditch (lol), and how cool and popular she is, as well as her strong will and sense of humor.  but in order to be valid as a love interest according to jkr, ginny has to shed the traits that characterized her as a damsel in distress in the second book, ironically, a role that is often filled by the love interest.  this is actually kind of subversive, but not necessarily in a good way– rather than rejecting patriarchal lens of reducing women to “damsels”, jkr simply pushes this lens onto cho, (not with a rescue plot, but with character traits), saying that damselization is bad, not because it’s bad to objectify women, but because some women are badass and cool and “don’t need to be saved” and the ones who are weak and emotional and do need to be saved are worthy of derision. this pushes the burden away from the male gaze that sees women as damsels and onto women and girls who must reject “damselish” or “feminine” traits.  harry realizes his feelings when he sees how different ginny is now from the girl who had a huge crush on him, the girl he had to save from an evil snake, the girl who was sensitive and helpless, because she isn’t those things anymore.  but cho, from harry’s perspective, is. harry avoids her like he avoided ginny in the first few books bc their emotionality makes him uncomfortable. to be fair, harry doesn’t hate cho for these traits anymore than he did ginny early in the series, but the fandom certainly did (i use past tense bc the fandom now is… idek) and i believe jkr does too. 
by the end of the series, harry has cool, tough, funny, pretty, quidditch star, ginny weasley, and to be honest he really doesn’t share a lot of vulnerability with her.  even when he’s worried about being possessed by voldemort, he doesn’t think to ask ginny what that was like when it happened to her, because he “forgot”.  in the last book, harry even breaks up with her for several months “to protect her” rather than taking her on a dangerous camping trip with ron and hermione. this is reasonable enough, and i think it’s good that the series ends with the same trio it started with, but it does deny harry and ginny’s relationship opportunity to develop because they only really see each other at the very beginning and the very end of the last book.  so ironically, a lot of people don’t like harry and ginny as a couple (especially in the movies) because jkr was so sparse with vulnerability in their relationship.  both girls, both relationships, suffer from this “sensitive” vs “resilient”, or more shallowly, as it tends to be perceived, “weak” vs “strong” contrast between cho and ginny.  but ultimately, ginny is rewarded for shedding her girlish emotional sensitivity while cho is punished, not just for her own but for ginny’s as well, because she’s taking over ginny’s role as “emotionally sensitive girl” so ginny can rise to the “cool girl” pedestal now that someone else is being looked down upon for having feelings.

You know,
I should start living up to my username and reblog and do some Harry Potter content on this blog.
Not because I'm transphobic or hate trans people, mind ya.
But because before Miraculous Fuckfacebug, I had Harry Potter as a main fandom and still do; and because now that S5 ended and I will be officially leaving the fandom once I watch the whole series and Awakening, I need to get back into something I adored the most and unlike Moronic Lacklusterbug, didn't fuck me and other people in the fandom up that much.
Yeah yeah, we have The Cursed Child which can be seen as the equivalent to Chameleon or whatever bad episode you can name, but we can also argue that that shit ain't canon. Because it isn't.
Plus, even after the whole JK Rowling controversy, not a lot of people on here seem to give a shit about my username. Either they probably don't know where it came from or they just completely ignore it or look past me being a Potterhead.
Or maybe they just don't give a shit, but eh it's the thought that counts.
Regardless, I wanna get back into a fandom that I love the most and didn't put me in a fucking spiral of frustration and anger unlike Monstrous Loserbug.

okay so im like. spiralling about your prongsfoot post about the paintings of the dog chasing the stag. and its like ive been a prongsfoot fan for YEARS at this point like ive literally spent hours charting the intricacies of their relationship in my head but SOMEHOW i missed what you said and ive been spiralling ever since. what you said was like ... 'think about WHY james' patronus is a stag and sirius' is a dog' and that completely made me want to eat my own hands holy shit sorry if i sound incoherent im like .... what the fuck oh my god so what im trying to say is if you could like just rant about this more or like talk more in depth/give your opinions/analysis about why james is a prey animal and why sirius SPECIFICALLY was chosen to be the hound i would like ... be forever grateful holy shit im sorry if im not making sense
Oh so glad you enjoyed it. Before I further indulge (and I am going to INDULGE, I am a wellspring of folklore and religious knowledge and you asked so buckle up for an essay), I went through my blog and tagged all the times I've mentioned it, before this. So, check out the tag "prongsfoot animal form meta," for everything I've said up until this point.
ANYWAY. This is actually super relevant to my current line of thought--I teach a writing class which just ended this month, and picks up again in Jan. (People interested, DM me!) I was doing lesson plans for the upcoming session and putting together a class on retelling mythology/fairy tales, and there's a significant section on animal transformation in these contexts. So I was percolating on this even before I started rereading Harry Potter and going insane over Prongsfoot! Synchronicity!
So one of the things I plan to talk about is that IF you're going to make the choice to have a character who is turned into an animal, you MUST consider the existing cultural narratives, connotations, and literary symbolism surrounding the animal itself. JKR is VERY good at this, and does everything with a tremendous amount of intention, so she would absolutely be considering these wider implications with Sirius and James's Patronuses/Anamagi forms.
So without further ado, let's look at Stags and Dogs, specifically within the contest of a European/Christian/Celtic lens since that's likely where she was drawing from.
The Stag: Aside from the usual--proud patriarch, haughty, mysterious embodiment of glory and majesty, masculine energy, the spirit of the forest etc-- stags across numerous European mythologies are heavily associated with divinity, between-states, and the underworld. In some traditions they're seen as messengers between the spirit realm and the material realm(all of this seems relevant seeing as James is dead but lives on in Harry, and in the memory of those who either loved and revered him, or reviled and resented him). In Celtic mythology specifically Stags are seen as being God-like, or an earthly manifestation of the divine/a symbol of Spiritual Authority. This feels so significant wrt to my prior discussion of James as a Folk Saint in the Harry Potter canon: a man who was just a man in life but who has come to symbolize something much bigger than that, a larger than life symbol for both Harry and Sirius .
But then we also have to look outside symbolic and literary tradition and at the animal itself--deer are prey animals. The stag's antlers (Prongs) are a defensive weapon. Part of their mystery and majesty is no doubt because they're flighty. Rare to see and pin down, difficult to hunt and kill. Animals kill them for food but humans hunt them specifically for their beauty: their heads and antlers. They're hunted, perused and desired both by man, and beast.
Again in Celtic mythology, Antlers are a symbol of virility, fertility, and masculine strength--to kill a stag and wear or display those antlers is to have shown mastery of (and interest in) the divine masculine. Furthermore, in Christian traditions antlers, due to their nature of shedding velvet every year, are connected to rebirth, regenerative prowess, and everlasting life. Stags in Medieval bestiaries and Christian manuscripts are often symbolic depictions of Christ himself, trampling out sin and the devil under his hooves. And if we consider Christ, we also must consider everything that comes along with him...spring! Light! Goodness! Etc! All he represents to Harry (and Sirius). I think its safe to say narratively James exists as a sort of Diety to Sirius (and Harry).
The Dog: Generally dogs tend to connote loyalty, obedience, true-heartedness, steadfast love, and muzzled power. They're domesticated versions of a once wild animal, which always suggests the capability for a loss of control, and emphasizes their faithfulness, the fact they choose to restrain their natures our of love. They are, of course, historically used by people to hunt, protect, guard, and as companions.
I also think its important to look at the type of dog JKR describes Sirius as--he's not just any dog, he's an enormous black dog. The grim isn't a Harry Potter universe specific myth, Black Dogs are a common symbol across mythologies, notable in English Folklore as harbingers of death. They're associated with crossroads and hallowed ground, and are often depicted in graveyards or during storms as a dreaded portent. They're usually seen as sinister or evil, but sometimes are referred to as guardians of the underworld or protectors during travel, assisting people in passage, or even trickster beasts or faerie hounds, more playful than malevolent. BUT I think its worth looking at the "evil" aspect --sometimes Black Dogs are seen as hellhounds or embodiment of the Devil. And remember what we said about James, Stags, and Christ.
We should also look at Sirius's namesake in mythology: Sirius the dogstar, the brightest star in the sky, part of the constellation Canis Major. In many magical and witchcraft traditions, the point at which Sirius is highest in the sky (what we call the Dog Days of summer, longest and hottest days of the year), is considered a magically charged time when the veil is thin and transformation is attainable. In Ozark Folk Magic especially, the Dog Days ruled by Sirius are considered the most auspicious time to exact revenge, do baneful magic, and engage in gluttony or wild, animalistic behavior and shapeshifting sorcery--there's magic in those hot summer nights, a sort of canine bacchanalia. This seems relevant to Sirius the character and the Marauders in general, that he is the embodiment of summertime wildness, pleasure, and again--loss of control. Consider domestication: dogs as power, sharp teeth, predatory instincts, but willfully restrained at the hands of their master, who they revere like a deity, and are loyal to.
But let's also look at Dogs in Christianity--in early Biblical texts they're viewed as unholy and unclean. Beggars, with the potential for violence. But in manuscripts and bestiaries they're sometimes depicted as symbols of fidelity and purity, or even healing: ie, the dog licking its wounds representing the power of prayer to redeem sin, thus making them a fraught, complex figure, with potential for redemption in a Christian context. Pair this with the Stag: the dog is a scavenger begging for scraps from god, but also, his loyal servant.
So let's look at these together: Stags and Dogs actually have a lot in common. They're both regarded as spiritual beings connected to the afterlife and specifically the underworld and death. This is significant because these characters are enormous presences in Harry's story in part because of the tremendous impact their deaths make, as non negotiable sacrifices in the war brought back temporarily by the resurrection stone. As a series, Harry Potter is largely about death--its culmination is entitled the Deathly Hallows and one of its major conflicts is that Voldemort is trying to best and cheat death by achieving immortality, which has thrown the entire magical world out of harmony and balance. Harry allowing his loved ones to die and embracing his own death is the means by which Voldemort is defeated, and also is a pivotal part of Harry's arc--an arc that begins with James's death, is punctuated by Sirius's, and terminated by Harry's--a trinity: father, son, holy ghost. It's not an accident James and Sirius are depicted as animals connected to both life, and the afterlife.
They also compliment each other in a yin yang/diametrically opposed but necessary opposites way--predator vs prey, fertility vs death, rebirth vs omen, light vs dark, Christ vs the Devil, spring vs summer etc. JKR is obsessed with literary parallels and complimentary pairs. Just look at Voldemort and Harry, who are the same in many ways, but also opposites, iterations of each other but in direct conflict: as the prophecy said, "neither can live while the other survives." This union of resisting but complimentary elements is so intrinsic to her writing, and also demands the reader consider how the power or balance might flip had he situation been different. Ie, if Voldemort lived under differing circumstances or made differing choices, would he have become what he became? and if Harry lived under his own differing circumstances and made his own differing choices, would he have been a hero after all? In JKR's world people are people, neither black nor white but the undifferentiated grey potential, where environments and events shape us into who we really are, who we choose to be. Thus, we're forced to examine the same what if, what could have been with James and Sirius: in a different world could they have been something else to each other?
They're also worth looking at with the capability for a reversal of power. They're like an optical illusion: If you look at them one way, Sirius is the devil, the pursuer, the hunter, the predator, the one with teeth who chases down and bites James the runner, the perused, the innocent, the pure. But if you look at them the other way, Sirius is the adoring loyal collared dog, gazing up at the incarnation of the divine masculine, the protector of the forest, God himself. Who has the power? Who is on top? Who guts the other?
I think the answer is both, and neither. They that undifferentiated grey potential- the ever-unrelalized both/and, mutual loyalty and worship and reverence so intense it borders on mutual destruction and immolation. They could implode but instead they're best friends! Sirius could have followed in his family's footsteps but instead he chose James and was sorted into Gryffindor and joined the war effort. They could have been opposites and in some ways are but mostly, are twins, brothers, friends. A inseparable dynamic duo, tempering the other, feeding the other, controlling the other, providing freedom to one another, balancing one another.

My NO's in Fanfiction !
TW: opinions
( Just to clarify, this post is ABSOLUTELY NOT made to offend anyone. Seriously, write whatever you want to write and have fun !! I'm just trying to find other people who share the same views as me, thank you<3 )
1) Turning a mlm/wlw ship into a straight ship.
Sorry, but this just gives me the biggest ICK. Literally makes me want to throw my phone out the window, smash my head against a wall and gouge my eyes out. LIKEE, tell me you're homophobic without telling me you're homophobic smh.
You may be thinking rn, "Rio, how do people turn em into straight ships?" WHEN THEY FKIN GENDERBEND ONE OF THEM.
I LITERALLY CRY WHENEVER I TRY TO LOOK FOR A TOMARRY FIC AND I SEE "Female Harry Potter" / "Female Tom Riddle". LIKE NOOOO??? WHY ARE U TURNING MY POOKIES INTO FEMALES... THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A MLM SHIP. WHY R U MAKING IT STRAIGHT??? It's giving "homophobic" !!
P.S. I just wanted to say, NO I AM NOT TRANSPHOBIC. I know some of u lots might jump onto that conclusion. BUT I AM COMPLETELY AGAINST THAT BS.
Don't get me wrong, I'm alright w ppl genderbending characters! NOT WHEN ITS IN A MLM/WLW SHIP THO.
P.S. I know that I can just exclude those tags whenever looking for a fic, but..the thing is, some people DON'T EVEN TAG THAT IN THEIR FICS WHEN THEY TOTALLY SHOULD BE TAGGING IT.
2) Making characters act so OC.
Yes, I do know that it IS fanfiction, people can do whatever they want with the characters. BUT SOME OF THEM MAKE THEM SO OC-ish THAT I CANT EVEN RECOGNISE IF THIS IS THE SAME CHARACTER IM OBSESSED W AND LOVE.
Some people make Harry an "UwU" cutsie little silly guy, all soft, and totes a cute cinnamon roll that he's defenseless and weak that he needs big almighty strong 10-pack Tom to save him because he's too little to do stuff for himself >-< .
EW, ICK.
STOP MAKING HARRY A PICK ME. My guy fought a literal war and defeated the dark lord. So why, IN MERLINS NAME are YOU making him act like this:'((
LIKEE, where's my sassy, sarcastic silly guy?? :((
AND TOM. OH MY DAYSS, TOM. Y'all either make him too mean or too nice I SWEAR. Likee, mean as in would Avada u if u even say a single word to him. LIKE BRO, HE WAS A PREFECT AND HEADBOY. HE DIDNT BECOME SO BECAUSE HE AVADA 'D INNOCENT PEOPLE.
P.S. I'm talking abt teenaged Tom Riddles, Voldie would def kill innocent people ykwim?
Or nice as in would call u pookie wookie bear and cuddle u if u had a bad scary dream. Let's bffr rn.
LIKE, where's my crazy psycho nice silly guy??? DD:
IF U WANT THEM TO ACT SORT OF OC-ish PUT THEM INTO A SITUATION THAT'LL FORCE THEM TO ACT AS THOUGH. Seriously, some can get away w this behavior if it is played correctly!!
3) First Person POV.
Pretty self-explanatory, next.
4) "He growled"
Okay, alpha, remus wannabe, furry looking ahh.
JS STOP PLS, IT'S NOT ROMANTIC AND PPL DONT FIND IT ATTRACTIVE.
When I say "ppl" I'm talking abt myself.

𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 ACT 1||  cedric d x reader
pairings: cedric x reader
trope(s): "i want you, but everyone wants you." slight angst for the fun of it, fake relationship, slightly based around taylor swift's gold rush, !mudblood reader, !gryffindor reader
words: 1,478 words!
warnings/tags: y/n is afab, none that i remember, lmk if i missed any 
a/n: this a part 1 of part 2 i believe. i just got really sleepy so here it is. fhdahdjal this one im so proud of.. i really worked my ass off. ALSO IM NOT A HUGE HARRY POTTER FAN BUT HEY. lmk if you would like any, im taking requests idc what song or fandom character im fine with whatever! put it in the comments, please :)
not proofread! <3
SCENE 1: the first year’s fever dream
the night sky of the city looks so pretty.
the night i spent packing for hogwarts seems like a fever dream now that i look back on it. it seemed to unrealistic, coming from a muggle family. i tip my head up facing my window being met with a star streaking across the inky black sky. a small smile graced my face. 
my first year at hogwarts seemed too good to be true. no one figured out i was mudblood. i spent most of my time locked inside my dorm, practising magic, sadly. i wasn’t a natural and not that good in general, especially when we have to demonstrate magic, i can feel everyone's eyes on me, laughing. 
i start to pick up my notes from my desk until im rudely interrupted by my desk mate, fred. 
“y/n. y/n.” he repeats, i lock eyes with him.
“yes fred?” i ask
“i know you promised me to take notes but-” i grab my bag from the floor and turn on the balls of my feet. “wait no y/n. please please i need to seem them! i promised never to ask again.” liar. 
“ok fine. meet me in the common room in like 30 minutes.”
and that’s the start of how i became too close of friends with fred weasley. 
SCENE 2: meet me at the lake
i don’t when or how cedric and i started talking it just happened. 
fast forward and i’m stuck in my fourth year, and for some reason i was actually naturally doing well. but with the lack of sleep i got due to gryffindor beating slytherin which naturally ended with a party. i set my books down on my desk and quietly pull out my chair. 
“your name is y/n, right?” who in the world just said that? this lack of sleep is getting in my head. gosh. 
“hello?” ok that’s twice now definitely not a ghost or a random voice. i whip my head around to be faced with him. he seemed too good to be true. his brownish hair flopped down onto his forehead. 
“ah. i’m sorry. i didn’t hear you!” i smile at him and genuine smile. 50% because of me being flustered and 50% of confusion of why the golden boy would want to talk to me. 
“i’m cedric-”
“i know.”
a starstruck grin plastered against his face, “you’re y/n.”
“i know that too.” 
“i need help in potions-”
“potions?” 
“-yes i’m quite rubbish, and the twins told me about how smart you are.”
i nod my head in response, because technically it is true. i’m in the top percentage right now.
“so i was wondering.. if you would like to tutor me!” he finally lets out, i turn my head around and notice almost everyone in the class looking at me. me?
“sure why not. i spend my days by the black lake, painting. feel free to stop by whenever, with your potions books. 
he lets out a breath and nods his head, “yes of course! thank you so much, y/n.” and with that he joins back with his entourage leaving the classroom.
i think the way he says my name is different from most. maybe that’s just the charisma to him. but then again no one says my name except the twins. 
(cedric pov)
she sets her paint supplies on the green grass as she opens up her easel setting a blank canvas on it. a smile is on her face the whole time as she paints the lake. not a single brush of doubt in any of her strokes. 
of course i know who y/n is. at first i heard of her in the first year, some of my friends talked about a short girl who messed up almost every time she was called up. which was really funny till i saw her for the first time.
“bloody hell, george who is that!?” i point at the girl sitting on the bench in the garden.
“oh calm down ced, thats y/n.” 
“wait! the girl who supposedly messes up all her potions?”
“yeah. she gives fred her notes in charms.”
“she's gorgeous.” 
“ok pal like you have a chance.” george punches his shoulder.
ever since then i’ve known who y/n is. i move away from my dorm window and sit on my bed, still replaying the moment i asked her to help me with potions. 
i believe she’ll be out there tomorrow cause the only days she isn’t is tuesdays. and no i don’t stalk her. at all. zero chances. 
SCENE 3:  late night study sessions
(y/n pov)
cedric and i have been doing tutoring sessions every wednesday which works out perfectly for me! but roommate, hermione granger, another mudblood, is doing some sort of thing with the ‘chosen one’ harry potter tonight. so i have the whole dorm to study without any distractions. i let out a long peaceful sigh. 
knock
no
knock
crap
i get out of my comfy bed sheets and move over to my door and open it. it’s cedric. he’s in a maroon t shirt with baggy pants. 
“cedric? gosh. what the hell are you doing here?”
“i need help.”
“duh”
“with. dada.”
“cedric it’s like 12 pm right now. i’m trying to work on spells right now.”
“well you know, um, hufflepuff won their game today so we’re throwing a party tonight.”
oh that makes sense. i didn’t think hufflepuff had any games this week?
“ok fine come in. but once it hits 1:30 you’re out.”
he nods his head in agreement, setting down his books. he gives me that smile again. the one i see all the time now. the smile that might make my stomach turn but i’m way too proud to become in love with this boy.
i pat the end of bed, motioning for him to sit there. i take his notebook to look through where he is right now, because i’m in honors dada. 
as the night grows longer, i feel my head lighten. i don’t know how much time has passed but cedric and i threw away studying a while ago. 
“you know when you stay up so late that it feels like you're wasted.” cedric lets out
“yeah.”
“i feel like i can do anything right now,” he sighs, “y/n want to go to hogsmeade with me?” 
“hah what cedric. doesn’t that slytherin girl like you? don’t you like her?” 
he shakes his head, “dorothea? no way, gross. apparently her dad is some death eater.” he lets out a giggle
“did you just giggle?”
“no.” he’s flustered you can tell in the moonlight his pale face is highlighted with blush.
“you giggled! haha cedric i can’t!”
“oh shove off” he grabs my pillow throwing it at me
“you asshole” i say while grabbing that exact pillow and pushing it into him
he catches it and pulls it closer to him, and at this exact moment is when the world around me changes completely, well it did once i first talked to cedric- he pulls the pillow leading me to fall on his chest, plus if that wasn’t cliche enough we fall off my bed and on the hard wooden floor below. but instead he’s on top of me, laughing. 
which causes me to laugh. 
and soon we’re two teenagers who can’t stop laughing.
“y/n- you looked so pretty today sitting in herbology.”
“you always look pretty, so i don’t know what you’re saying.” 
“you think i’m pretty?”
“yes and now can you get off me? you’re crushing my stomach.” with that he sits up and his face is even more red now. 
“you’re probably not going to remember this, tomorrow right?” 
“i mean lets pray i do because i haven’t called a boy pretty since preschool.” 
“even more of a compliment now!” 
my eyes dart to the door as i hear it creak open and there steps in hermione granger. instead of her eyes locking onto mine as usual when she catches me studying late, her eyes move to cedric. a smug smirk appears on her lips.
“well hello there loverboy.” she says to cedric who if wasn’t a tomato before now is.
“ah- fuck- sorry. bye y/n. uh goodnight! by the way i meant every word i said tonight.” and with that he’s out of my door into the dark staircase. 
“wow. i can’t believe i just saw that.” hermione says as she picks up his coat he left. “plus he left his coat. what a slacker.” i know she’s rolling her eyes right now.
“oh please, give me that,” i grab the-more-like-hoodie from her hands which smells too much like cedric.
i smile the whole night but for the first time i don’t know if it’s cause i'm hopeless or cause i know the test material.

20 questions for fic writers
thank you for the tag @imagineacoolusername <3
1. how many works do you have on ao3?
18
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
109,886
3. what fandoms do you write for?
marauders (+ dc but i haven't posted any)
4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?
i just wanted a muffin
wrecking ball
a summer in wales
we are the dead
fistclenching, heartaching
5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?
i try to but if i can't think of anything to say then i just don't
6. what is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
that I've actually already written the ending for, would definitely be midnight rain. but the planned ending i have for the devil wears an angel's face is probably angstier
7. what is a fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
definitely i just wanted a muffin, its literally pure fluff throughout 😭
8. do you get hate on fics?
only once or twice, i just ignore/delete it though
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?
nope
10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?
no, i don't really like crossovers. i do like aus, like characters in one fandom put into the situation of a different media (that's not really a crossover tho, is it?)
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
not to my knowledge
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
nope
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
yeah. once with a mutual who is now deactivated, about the marauders going on a camping trip to snowdonia. and then with @lesbianmckinnonn we have the sinners and the saints (marauders during war years)
14. what's your all time favourite ship?
dorlene <33
15. what's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
i'm really aiming to finish all my wips, but i know i probably won't. im gonna say one I've never even posted, the cafe/bookshop au (i got bored of it and haven't written any of it in over a year sooo)
16. what are your writing strengths?
i actually have no clue. apparently i'm good at dialogue cause i can make it sound like vastly different people speaking? so that? and the storyline ideas themselves
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
probably the fact it takes me forever to write just a couple of words. i am super slow. also i always forget to describe things/people
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
i'm absolute shit at learning languages, like the only language i can actually speak/understand even slightly is bsl. a lot of my characters do speak other languages though, so i like to sometimes have them speak in them i either ask mutuals that i know speak it, or have to put the sentence into like 20 different translation websites to make sure its right
19. first fandom you wrote for?
technically once upon a time when i was 9/10 (it was like half a notebook about regina becoming the evil queen again and lily joining her to get revenge against emma). but i never posted it, so the first posted one would be for harry potter
20. favourite fic you've written?
very hard to choose. i really like my cannibal!dorlene fic but i haven't actually published any of it. so choosing one i've actually written quite a bit for, I'm gonna say either fistclenching, heartaching or the devil wears an angel's face

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
@starquestingfordrarry ahhh thank you for tagging me, these are such good questions!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
41 +1 unrevealed +6 that ive hidden
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
238,631
3. What fandoms do you write for?
only harry potter atm but i have written other fandoms before and i am psyching myself up to write some pjo/hoo next year
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Best Kept - drarry, secret relationship, EWE, E, 7k
How Does Your Garden Grow - wolfstar, modern au, T, 1.6k (this was the first hp fic i ever wrote back in 2016!)
Sparks - drarry, soulmates au, secret relationship, E, 20k
White in the Darkness - wolfstar, established relationship, possessive!remus, E, 7k
Maybe Love Could Be A Verb - wolfstar, getting together, idiots to lovers, E, 16k (my first fic coming back to fandom last year!)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
not as much as i should... i hate replying to comments when my work is still anon and i swear this year all ive done is anon fests and then i forget to reply when reveals happen and then my inbox gets super full and i get overwhelmed...
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
oooh probably Invisible, Inescapable - ghost!reg, house magic, 16k, M - or Non-Existent Hearts Still Bleed - mostly canon compliant Pansy character study, 8k, M
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
uhhhh most of them? i dont tend to write sad things
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not so far!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
yes. all of it. mostly queer but i have done some m/f but mostly in triads and that one tomione dead dove. currently in the middle of kinktober so smut is on the brain
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
no theyve never been my vibe
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no thank god
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
yes! well, someone asked, idk if they actually did it. it was my pansromione choir fic from pride fest
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
back in the day i co-wrote one with my then-best friend - i think it was the first fic i ever uploaded...
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
nope. impossible question. my ogs are wolfstar and drarry, but i also adore pansmione/pansromione, fleurinny, ginsy, jegulus, jegulily... so many ships so little time...
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i tried to do nano with original fiction several times and none of them really stuck, which im sad about because some of the ideas were banging - lesbian vampires through time, anyone?
16. What are your writing strengths?
ok this is the hardest question by far...
i think i am quite good at the introspection, and characters having to think through their situations, figure out how they actually feel. i blame all the therapy...
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
confidence and run on sentences. i was editing a fic yesterday and found a sentence that was nearly half a page...
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
i dont mind it, but i think it has to fit the story. but one of my pet peeves is when people but dialogue in another language and then put the translation in the chapter notes - i have a goldfish brain and by the time i get to the end of the chapter i have forgotten what the dialogue was about
19. First fandom you wrote for?
kingsman back in like 2014/5
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
dont make me choose between my babies! maybe the one that i cant talk about yet (i feel its the most up to date representation of my writing at the moment), maybe my wolfstar witcher!au (longest uploaded fic, and i really struggled to finish it but im so proud of myself for getting there), maybe my soulmate fest one (i was so not happy with it but everyone seemed to like it and it reminds me that i am my own worst critic)

Hey, I was wondering if you could help clarify some things for me. I may be looking at this the wrong way, so I would appreciate feedback if I am. I recently got into the Harry Potter fandom, and since I’ve always loved Harry and Ginny, I’ve invested a lot of time in reading Hinny. I have noticed one thing... the majority of the fanfics put Ginny on a higher pedestal than Harry. She’s more attractive, has a better personality, is a better quidditch player, is a better leader, is better at school, is more powerful, and is just overall better at everything compared to Harry. Maybe I’ve been viewing them wrong because I always felt like they were two strong individuals that were even better when they were together. But when I read these fanfics, I almost feel as if Harry can’t be anything without Ginny; however, she would be just as capable and perfectly fine without him. I do think Ginny went through a lot too, but at least she had a support system; Harry didn’t. Maybe I’m reading the wrong fanfics or not understanding them properly, but I’ve been turned off from reading more Hinny fandom because 1/2 of my favorite characters characteristics seem off.
i don’t know if i am the best person to clarify what you are asking because 1) i haven’t actually read most of the hinny that is out there and 2) im literally fighting for my life to be ginny’s number 1 fan against mr harry james potter himself
and i think those things you mentioned that annoy you in fics (strong leader, magically powerful, excellent at quidditch) exist because from harry’s pov in the og text those are ginny’s defining traits.
when she speaks, people listen. when she casts a hex she does it so well it becomes her signature spell. when she chooses a hobby it becomes her entire life.
so i don’t think those things are inaccurate. and i don’t think that inherently makes ginny better in fics. i just think it makes her easier to decode.
and if you are looking for some strong harry i suggest you filter the tags on ao3. #magically powerful harry potter and #BAMF harry potter probably have more of what you’re looking for.

20 questions for Writers!
been tagged by @sinvulkt in this awesome Tag game! thanks a lot!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Currently, I have a 19 works on AO3, working on making it 20 by the end of this month
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
Im at 131,179 words. Considering I have a few smaller works it makes sense
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I mainly write in the Star Wars fandom and Hetalia (but as of now solely fics that feature my APH Québec OC) But I have fics in the Good Omens fandom, Heathers the Musical, Five Nights at Freddy's Loki (TV), and I am currently writing a Harry Potter longshot
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Ring of Fire, the first part of my Deserter Darth Vader AU
What Are You Waiting For, a tragic Heather Chandler/Veronica Sawyer fic
Whatever's still to come, my Elizabeth Afton Lives au in the FNAF fandom
More beautiful than flowers... , a FrUK fic with lots of flower language.
Truth for the Daughter, where Leia finds out who Anakin Skywalker used to be in my Deserter Darth Vader AU
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I always try to respond to my comments, since I don't get so many, they are always welcome. I enjoy the feedback and the compliments, and I always want to respond! <3
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
What Are You Waiting For is definitely up there, considering one of the character of the main pairing is dead from the start.
I also have two super short fics in french about my Hetalia OC Québec that I consider gut wrenching, but they haven't been read much
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
The World We Knew, my Good Omens fix it fic after the devastating season 2 finale. it definitely has a lot of angst in it too, but the ending is pure fluff!
8. Do you get hate on your fic?
It has never happened, but at the same time I'm not a big author either.
9. Do you write smut?
I tried once, didn't go through with it. It was for a FrUK fic, which I didn't really like and deleted.
10. Do you write crossovers?
Before posting on AO3, it happened, it was a Marvel characters in Hogwarts thing.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No, but once again, I'm not very well known.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I wish!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
Yeah, the Marvel at Hogwarts thing a lifetime ago. And also a historical fiction that never got posted anywhere.
14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?
Oooh that's a tough one! It varies like each months or so. I think I haven't even written much for it directly, but Anidala!
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
My FNAF fic. I have a super long and detailed AU outline with complexe character growth and tons of family angst with the Afton and Lizzy eventually taking over Fazbear Entertainement, but I lack time. In the meantime, I made a few artworks of it under the tag elizabeth afton lives au if you are interested.
16. What’s your writing strengths?
I'd say the inner monologue and the highly emotional scenes. I love to delve on the psyche and add parallels that hurt just write and use gut wrenching metaphors.
17. What’s your writing weaknesses?
Highly action dense scenes. I struggle with the pacing because I picture it clearly in my mind and can't put it into words.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
It can be nice, but considering that sometime I see it with my own language, French, and with considerable mistakes, it can be annoying. I'd avise to contact someone who speaks that language a bit to crossverify google translate, that's much more fun for speakers
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Surprisingly enough, BBC Sherlock. The fic was on Wattpad and I haven't reposted it, it was a bit mid not going to lie.
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Not very controversial take, my favourite fic I've ever written is Truth for the Daughter. I've written it in the kitchen, with my own step-dad checking up on me as I struggled with some scenes. It may be full of father-daughter angst but it was written with a lot of father-daughter love. It is dedicated to my step-dad, who passed away last year because of that, and so is Interlude: A son and his father , which I completed not long before his passing. These parental fics just hold a special place in my heart <3
Well this was nice!
To conclude, I'd like to tag : @dreamingamongthestars @yaqamole @claralarmclock @phe-oh-no and any other author mutual I might have forgotten!!

20 Questions For Writers
I first thought I’d answered these questions, but after reading through more carefully, I saw that this wasn’t the case. @sinvulkt thanks for the tag! Im thrilled to have been one of the people you thought to tag.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
79
24 of them are 5000 words or longer
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
707,267
Most of it from 2012-2015
I posted my first story in 2012 - on fanfiction.net though, only adding it to ao3 a bit later - and the feedback I got made me write like crazy. Made me decide to study English at university. For me who isn’t from an English speaking country that choice was as much to make my English better as to make my ability to write stories better. How to make any of it fit with a job could come later.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
It used to be Harry Potter. And I owe a lot to the people in that fandom. Now, for reasons many share, I’ve left that behind.
The last couple of years and probably for years to come the answer is Star Wars. I need to get deep into a fandom before the urge to write for it grabs me, so while I’ll enjoy other things too, they’re not likely to become stories.
That’s also the reason I’ve not written much original stuff. I want to know the characters before I write them. When I’m the one who has to create them, I have to write to get to know them and it’s not my favorite thing.
Anyway! Within Star Wars I tend to prefer focusing on the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan. It’s strong and messy and I find it fascinating.
Second to that comes Vader and Luke.
I also adore Cal Kestis from the games about the early years of the Empire.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
These are all going to be Harry Potter fics.
Sigh
We all have history. Gotta accept it.
Oh, they’re all Harry Potter Crossovers! That used to be my thing. Mainly pairing it with the MCU. Most of these are really old and each time new MCU content comes out, new people find them. And for the first one which is a completed Harry Potter/Loki I think it’s reached the top listing in that pairing and it’s snowballing.
1. Waiting | Soulmate mark AU. Crossover Harry Potter and the MCU. Harry/Loki. Complete. 5k words
This is in my opinion a very simple story. It’s set up and a meet cute. But if people like it, I guess that’s good.
Kudos: 3,222
2. From Russia With Love | Crossover between Harry Potter and the MCU. What if Natasha was Lily and Petunia’s long lost sister and she found out how the Dursleys were treating Harry? Complete. 5k words.
I had a series where I accepted prompts. I wouldn’t have written this without that. Which is why it’s not longer. I wrote until I’d filled the prompt. I do t know why this is so popular either.
Kudos: 1,806
3. Four Golden Lines | Another Harry Potter MCU crossover, Soulmate mark AU with Harry/Loki. Incomplete. 24k words
This I put a whole lot of work into and I’m still fairly pleased with it. I just lost momentum and then interest in the fandoms.
Kudos: 1,723
4. Great Minds Think Alike | This time it’s a Harry Potter and BBC’s Sherlock crossover! 🙃 What if the Horcrux suppressed Harry’s mental abilities and with it gone he’s Sherlock 2.0 and the two of them meet? Incomplete. 7,5k words
Writing clever characters isn’t easy. I didn’t know where else to take it.
Kudos: 1,713
5. A Mess with Capital M | Harry Potter and the MCU. What if Clint and Natasha were Harry’s biological parents? He finds out as a teen and arrives during the battle of New York. Complete. 3k words.
This was also written for my prompt series. I wasn’t passionate about the idea and had nothing more to say about it.
Kudos: 1,365
Let’s also give my top three Star Wars stories some space
24. Disasters Tiring | “Through Force nonsense, an Anakin who has just survived the crash of the fallen hand ends up on Tatooine in time to join Luke on his mission to find Artoo. He hasn't slept for seventy hours and is pretty out of it. When Obi-Wan sees him, he feels pretty out of it too.” Complete. 4,5k words
Based on a tumblr post. I took an idea and slashed it out. Funny little story.
Kudos: 382
27. Crashing Slowly into the Sands of Home | “Vader crashes next to the Lars farm on Tatooine, and the unsuspecting family cares for him. Luke takes a special interest.” Complete. 1,5k words
I saw a prompt for this on Discord and couldn’t let go of it until it was written. Short and sweet
Kudos: 273
28. Don’t Discount Your Sith Father when Searching for a Jedi Master | “Darth Vader follows Luke to Lothal where the young rebel has gone to search for answers on how to be a Jedi. When Luke falls through time, Vader continues to pursue. Through different times, places, and encounters with Jedi, they both learn something about what it means to be a Jedi and what they mean to each other.” Complete. 24k words.
This was a labour of love. I proved to myself that I could write something longer than 5k words and complete it. I think it turned out pretty good.
Kudos: 271
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I used to be better at it. For short comments I don’t feel like there’s much to say. I appreciate them, but they don’t open up a conversation. For longer comments, especially given shortly after I post I make an effort to respond.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
The time that is given us | Harry Potter/Tom Riddle. Time travel. Time loop. Complete. 2k words
It was written for the following prompt: “Write a story about your OTP that has an UNHAPPY ENDING” and boy was it ever unhappy.
Examples of comments:
“THANKS FOR THE HEART BREAK. IT FELT GREAT. <3”
“Awwwwww, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck”
“YOU FUCKING BTICH HOW DARE YOU”
I still take immense pride in that last one 😆
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Uhhh. I’m notorious for not completing my multi chapters. The ending is missing most of the time
And I thrive on angst and humour. And humour is just tragedy from a different point of view
Let’s do with a very lighthearted Obikin story
I can do you | “Famous Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi has agreed to consult on the making of a holovid about his life to make sure they do a fair job. During the production, he meets the stunt coordinator, a man named Anakin who shines in the Force and makes Obi-Wan feel out of sorts.” Complete. 5k words
8. Do you get hate on your fic?
It has happened. It’s been a long time though. And it was like one comment at a time not a storm. And it’s been things like “this is so gay.” And I’m like, yes, that was the point.
9. Do you write smut?
I’ve begun to. Mostly I never got to the point of my multi chapter stories where it was relevant. But my first published story is more explicit in hindsight than I realized even though there’s no touching and no one takes off their clothes.
Last year I published my first story where smut what’s the main point. Still plotty though.
Take Care of Yourself, I Wish I Could | “While Obi-Wan and Anakin are alone on a planet during a mission, Anakin goes into a presentation heat. One Obi-Wan will not help him through no matter how much they'd both want it. Not that they know that want is mutual.” Complete. 7k words
10. Do you write crossovers?
As seen in my top 5 kudos list. Yes. I used to. I loved it. It was most of what I read and wrote for many years.
The first Star Wars fics I wrote and trying for are also Harry Potter crossovers. They’re incomplete and gathering electronic dust though.
It is more than likely that I’ll try it again. Just gotta find a story I want to smush together with Star Wars.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Posted to other sites by other people without them asking me: yes. Many times.
Someone claiming to have written my stories: no. Not as far as I’m aware.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I’ve had offers. People saying they want to translate. But as far as I remember no one delivered. Or might have been one case where the first chapter in a story was translated.
I welcome translations and pod fics etc!
I just want to know where they’re posted so I can read any comments.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
Not as such. I’ve had some significant collaborations. One which I hope I’ll get to see published soon. But never something where I share the work 50/50 or even 30/70
14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?
Obikin is the winner because od the fact that compared to other pairings I’ve been obsessed with, it has to most canon content to draw from and that makes the relationship richer and more complex than any of the competitors. Because of their shared history, I think it might keep the throne even should I move on to something else.
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I’ve not felt much for any of my wips lately. Neither the published stories nor the unpublished ones. So most of them deserve the status abandoned. My mood might change and I might want to return though. My mood is liable to change
16. What’s your writing strengths?
Characterisation!
I study and analyse the characters in untreated in until I know them and can stay two to their core despite putting them in circumstances that are different from where we know them from. I’ve had many compliments about my characterisation through the years. And it’s the most frequent compliment I get.
Humor too. I think I can be funny. The feedback implies it.
I also think I’m good at setting up tension and delivering an emotional experience.
17. What’s your writing weaknesses?
Following through!
I’m struggling with picking stories that aren’t so long my interest in them will be over long before they are complete.
Endings overall I find a struggle. Most of my ideas are an inciting event and what drives me is that I want to see where that leads. Not knowing the destination means I don’t know how to get there, and I get lost along the way and quit.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I used to do more of it, but I dunno. I find Swedish to be awkward to put into fics, I think this is a remnant how growing up movies and music in English were seen as a lot cooler, and using languages I don’t know makes the perfectionist and linguist in me cringe.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Long before I knew what fandom or fanfic was. Years before I could write even, I had my mum write down stories for me while I drew the pictures (I was 4-5 years old). The two I remember were “sequels” to Disney films. First out Snow White. Second the Little Mermaid.
First fandom I wrote for as a teen who had discovered the phenomenon on the internet: Dragon Age Origins. It was als the first thing I published. I removed it only weeks later though. I understood that copying the game dialogue word for word and adding only a few things myself was something I didn’t like reading at all after the first couple of times and didn’t want others to read my poor attempt of that type of story.
Oldest published story that remains available is Harry Potter
Second oldest is a Harry Potter and BBC Merlin crossover (which I used for a school project and got a top grade on. Weird times. I think writing that many words in English (foreign language) that didn’t suck was the reason. Also, I printed it and bound it as a book myself. That probably helped.)
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
In a way the Harry Potter Merlin crossover I mentioned above. It’s long (though incomplete). It made me grow so much. I had one commenter who wrote essays to me each chapter and I’m beyond grateful for that. It was the first story I worked with a beta reader on. And it saved me from doing a real school project
Is it the best writing I’ve done? No.
Would I recommend it to you now? Not really no. But yeah. I’m proud of it.
Two Destines | “There are ordinary people, people with great destinies and there is Harry who has two. He is Harry Potter the-boy-who-lived. He is also Prince Harry Pendragon of Camelot, younger brother of the future King Arthur. He grows up in Camelot and he has to conceal his strange powers from everyone until a young man with a destiny of his own arrives.” Incomplete. 74k words.
If fic can mean any story, I have a semi original short story (it draws on the sleeping beauty fairytale) that I wrote for a competition to get published in anthology. It almost made the cut, they said, and sometime, I should make an effort to get it published.
Tag someone
No preassure at all, but I’d you want to take the time to answer, I’d love to see what you have to say @intermundia @treescape @ossidae-passeridae

PRIVATE.     i will only interact & write with mutuals.     however  i will respond to anonymous prompts.     do  not  abuse  this  to  send  hate  or i will turn it off entirely ! SELECTIVE.     i won’t respond to everything that’s sent my way & do not write threads in any particular order.      in short, i write what inspires me. LOW ACTIVITY.     i have a life & plenty to do outside of tumblr.     this is my hobby !     if i’m not active on the dash or answering your ims / asks, i am likely not online or i'm writing my fanfiction.

🍒 — 𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒.
FOLLOWING.     i am incredibly picky about who i follow ;   please do not take any sort of offense if i don’t follow you back.     i will only follow blogs for characters & series that i am familiar with or have muses from.     18+  only :   no minors will be allowed on my dash! INTERACTING.     this blog functions primarily through memes.      you may send me memes from any time in my tag & i’ll do my best to answer them.     i enjoy plotting as well,  especially if it's shipping related content ! CONCERNING OCS.     i am incredibly picky about the ocs that i interact with.     if your oc doesn’t have a detailed backstory & some sort of visual aid,  i will not follow you.     if i have to alter knock out's canon or headcanon stories to include your oc,  i will not follow you.     however if you play an oc & i’ve followed you back,  please come talk to me about your oc & how you can see them interacting with KO !     the more i know about your character,  the more comfortable i will be interacting with them!     no  prime  ocs.

18+ CONTENT.     do not follow me if you cannot handle content such as graphic violence,  death,  dismemberment,  medical procedures,  etc..     my tag for mature content is  ` ❤️️ ; 𝚂𝚄𝙲𝙷 𝙰 𝚂𝚆𝙴𝙴𝚃 𝙻𝙸𝚃𝚃𝙻𝙴 𝙲𝙾𝚀𝚄𝙴𝚃𝚃𝙴. — 「 content warning. 」 :   blacklist it if you don’t want to see anything like that.     interfacing will be put under a read more.     very  explicit content will be moved to discord. TRIGGERS.     i do not have any triggers that you need to worry about.    however if you need me to tag certain things that could trigger you,  please send me a message about it.     i am only human & cannot remember what each person's rules say 100% of the time. SHIPPING.     this blog is multiverse & multiship.     no ships overlap.     polyshipping = good soup.     ship partners will get access to my discord more readily than other writing partners.     primary ship is obviously  kobd  but i'm open to developing new ships based on the chemistry that our muses establish. NO PERSONALS.     blocked on sight. NO DRAMA.     i do not condone or participate in anon hate,  vagueing,  burnbooks,  cancel culture,  or anything of that nature.     if your blog contains too much of this sort of thing i will hard block you,  i don't have time for that shit. OOC CONTENT.     don’t follow me if you use your roleplay blog as a sociopolitical platform.     don’t follow if you’re somehow of the mindset that the author’s views must somehow also be my own or that what i write is what i condone ... because we all know that’s not true.     further content not allowed on my dash is listed below. DNI : BLANKET NOS.     jujutsu kaisen,  homestuck,  vivziepop   (  helluva boss, hazbin hotel, etc.  ). DNI : FANDOMS / RPCS.     bnha / mha,  harry potter,  pokémon.     (  verses / muses are okay & i will follow at my own discretion,  but not if you actively write / are a part of the fandom mentality of any of these.  ) DNI : OOC PROMOTION OF ...     ableism,  ageism,  anon hate,  bestiality,  bigotry,  biphobia,  blog policing,  cancel culture,  cisphobia,  excessive drama,  forceshipping,  genderbending,  god modding,  homophobia,  kinning,  picking on duplicates,  racism,  sexism,  sociopolitical commentary,  transphobia,  underage/shota/loli,  villain apologism.

I commissioned @rielles96 for cover art for my Teddy Lupin fic, Call Me Edward. Look at how cute he is!!! He’s struggling right now in the fic but he’ll be a happier kid soon. Btw that’s his bowtruckle Puck, an OC pet I made for him 🪴

Saw this on Reddit and I can 100% see this being a real conversation between Remus and Tonks:

Absolutely fascinating to see how the Harry Potter ships go on AO3.
Going to put a bunch of ships in the tags simply so other people can see this and weigh in because I think it's fascinating.
