James really is lucky to have been born a wizard and have the power to fix objects with a flick of his wand because otherwise the entire Potter fortune would have gone to buying glasses

No one can convince me that boy didn't break his glasses ten times a day and half the times it was from running into walls and stuff because he was distracted by watching regulus.

[thebibutterflyao3]

I second this wholeheartedly.

I’m rewatching A Very Potter Musical, and I’m begging all new marauders fans to watch it.

hiii would love to hear your answer to 23 :)))

ASK Game ✨Let’s Go!✨

23. Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?

Dialogue will always be my favourite. I love to talk and banter makes me happy. All of my fics are dialogue and movement heavy because I get bored writing descriptions of every room, character, or emotion. I want to see what happens next as much as reader’s do! 😹

In my original works, I spend far more time adding in descriptions during multiple rounds of edits than in writing the first draft. My fanfics are streams of consciousness that I translate into a readable story. It’s a catharsis and a joy to write meaningless chaos, smut, and fluff with existing characters rather than mapping out a traditional storyline. Sometimes, my fics have an intentional plot, but most of the time I start with the vibes and let the characters lead.

Editing will always be the bane of my existence and generally speaking, I don’t heavily edit my fics. Line editing and adding clarity where it’s needed is the extent of it, so there isn’t much description. It’s not hard, I just can’t be bothered. 🤷‍♀️

nobody better be posting about the met gala without mentioning the giant pro-palestine demonstration going on outside

[thebibutterflyao3]

I think people misunderstand "x fell first, x fell harder " trope because it's not about like the one who fell harder loves the other person harder. It's just that the one who fell first falls in a graceful way, one step at the time, maybe gradually over a span of time. The one who fell harder smashes trough the air, there's blood everywhere, everything is fine-

Spotify is driving me CRAZY! 🥴

I’m making playlists for my WIPs, but every time one of my playlists ends, it plays “Espresso” and I am sick of it. The song is a bop, but the lyrics are awful. My brain cannot process Mountain Dew being used as a verb. I’ve tried to block it, but Spotify keeps playing it.

It’s not even a “recommended song” under these playlists, so why? Also, why can’t I block the song? 😑

This happened a couple of years ago with Katy Perry’s “Firework” too. I was so sick of that song always playing automatically. Is this a marketing push or coincidence?

Someone help me! 🫶

Regulus (in another universe I’m easy to love) Black and James (I already love you in every universe) Potter

[thebibutterflyao3]

Absolutely. This is an entirely valid view all the way around. ✨Therapy for everyone!✨

One of the first couple spats I think Jegulus would have at the early stages of their relationship would be about how clingy James and Sirius are.

(Was thinking about how the marauders were in their early twenties and all the cringey relationship issues that happen during that age 😩)

-

Like, Reg notices Sirius knows every detail of a disagreement Regulus and james have. Reg tries to not make a big deal until they have a really big disagreement and instead of talking it out with Regulus, James goes straight to Sirius.

If it's post war, their codependency is dialed up to 1000 lol. Understandably, after losing his parents, James sees it as just appreciating sirius' presence by keeping him up to date on his life.

While Sirius sees it as a second chance to be a doting brother to Regulus in anyway he can. To Sirius, being included in this aspect of regulus' life is a good thing.

Meanwhile, Regulus is triggered feeling like the third wheel again and like he's not good enough. Not only for sirius but for James as well.

Enter Remus and lily. The former slapping both James and Sirius over the head with the hardest of books. They give them a crash course of the different boundaries in different relationships. (Remus is used to their nonsense but understands not everyone will be comfortable with it)
