7 most unhinged canon drarry moments

Harry calling Draco his arch nemesis just a few months after Lord Voldemort tried to murder him for the second time but also immediately thinking that he kinda misses him

Harry getting hit in the head by a piece of luggage because he got so distracted by the sight of Draco changing that he didn’t notice someone swinging a large object at his face

Harry lying to the Order and Magical Law Enforcement to obfuscate Draco’s crimes at the end of sixth year

Voldemort immediately assuming Draco has gone looking for Harry when he goes missing during the Battle of Hogwarts…and being right

Narcissa assuming Harry will know where Draco is and if he’s still alive…and being right

Lucius getting mad at Draco in book 2 because he has spent the entire summer talking nonstop about Harry Potter

Harry forgetting about the time Voldemort possessed and nearly murdered Ginny but remembering every item he saw Draco look at in Borgin and Burkes 4 years previously

Oh my god, thank you so much for writing it! Yes, you should definitely do a reread (look at me reccing you to you) but like do it with a kind eye? I don't know if this is usual, but whenever I reread something I wrote (scientific writing for work, not beautiful fics but still) all I can see are flaws or areas of improvement that nobody else can see, and I'd be heartbroken if that happened to you and NATG.

Also, I'm fangirling just a little bit right now this is wild

When I first read the summary, I thought to myself that I'll be happy as long as it isn't as trite as Legends and Lattes. Boy was that a low bar I set.

I was on the ride with draco the whole time, even when I was screaming at him to not make that giant delusional mistake. But the knot in my stomach kept getting tighter and tighter and the entire first half of the book felt like watching a train crash in real time.

And then everything changed. It was slow, and syrupy, and confused, and it hurt. Not a single character was safe; there were difficult choices about morality and justice and putting in the work and making reparations and heartbreak all around, and then there was healing. It was still complicated, but we were all okay.

This story is clearly a labor of love. It's impeccably paced and intricately detailed (also! The chapter header drawing thingies! Ah!). It's about addiction and sobriety and free will and love. It's about how love can hurt and it can heal, and this fic did both for me.

Such a fun read! I loved the beginning, with the next gen kids being dropped into the story so abruptly. It hooked me into the story immediately. The other abrupt thing was being dropped into an already established drarry dynamic, which i wasn't expecting. We get the backstory later, and I love the way the drarry dynamic evolves throughout the story, but I was a little confused and unconvinced in the beginning (that changed pretty quickly though).

My favorite part was all the interaction between draco and the next gen kids, and the Christmas holidays at hogwarts. I enjoyed it so much, the "good times" of the story were so good that the story complications had even more emotional impact because of the contrast.

At the end of the story, I felt... honored? To be let into this little secret portion of their lives. To hold these memories. While I described the beginning of the story as abrupt, the end was just perfect. It was resolved, but not too resolved, and hopeful, and I was content.

What a journey. I loved to see Draco's transformation, his slow realization that preserving your own heritage doesn't mean destroying other communities. I loved their relationship and how it grew, and how quickly it got so intense. I shed tears for them through heartbreak and happiness, rooting for them the whole time.

Esther is my favorite. She's the warm grandma we all want/miss dearly, she's got an ironclad moral compass. Generally, I like fics to be, well, fictional (worlds where nobody bats an eyelid at non-heteronormative behavior etc) but I appreciated how real Esther was in this. I've been listening to so many Jewish voices for peace these days irl, and I felt Esther's beliefs resonated so strongly with those voices.

I know this is a completed fic and not part of a series, but I'd read so much more in this universe! Tell me more about the fair folk and gardening in the moonlight and learning lessons at Esther's knee. I'm here for it

A very engaging, quick read. The drarry relationship at the beginning was good, but a bit sudden. Really enjoyed the way we got to see Harry from Draco's POV, as someone who is a bit mysterious and knows things nobody else does (but we know those things too! Lots of Canon easter eggs) and who is oblivious about their own power, magical and otherwise.

There's many flashbacks, which are maybe not done in the smoothest way possible? I do still like the story but maybe the first long flashback could have been spliced with more scenes from Draco's Sundays at Hogwarts. It could also have helped with developing Lily's character a bit; I was left wanting to get to know her better.

The banter! Not just between Harry and Draco, but also most other characters. Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, but I wouldn't call the story a comedy.

Draco is my favorite character in this. He's unhinged in the best, nerdiest, neurodivergent (not explicitly said but c'mon) way possible. I fell in love with him just as Harry did, so the romance was natural and believable too. No tooth-rotting fluff, but lots of really nice warm glow feelings in your chest.

Hermione and Ron have a great relationship too, and great personalities individually as well. It's the opposite of ron-bashing, which is always enjoyable.

Really really enjoyed the read, enough to finally start documenting my fic reads after deliberating doing so for years!

Highlights from the conference room where they nominated contenders for Word of the Year 2023:

• They put Skibidi Toilet on the projector to explain what “skibidi” means.

• Baby Gronk was mentioned.

• We discussed the Rizzler.

• “Cunty” was nominated.

• “Enshittification” was suggested for EVERY category.

• “Blue Check” (like from Twitter) was briefly defined as “Someone who will not Shut The Fuck Up”

• The person writing notes briefly defined babygirl as “referencing [The Speaker]”. He is now being called babygirl in the linguist groupchats.

• MULTIPLE people raised their hand to say “I cannot stress this enough: ‘Babygirl’ refers to a GROWN MAN”

i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.

im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!

an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.

“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids

R.I.P z-lib, you were there in my darkest hour.

However, if you use TOR, you can still access it. And if you don’t use TOR, you can follow these instructions to access it.

How to access zlibrary after the ban:

just wanted to share a workaround for the zlibrary ban that is currently working for me:

These are the apps I used.

- use this link to get to zlibrary on the tor browser:

http://zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52fad.onion/

- create account on zlibrary website

- get telegram app and search for @firstlibrarybot and start a conversation with it

- go to the menu on the zlibrary website and click on "⚙️ edit profile". scroll down to "link to telegram bot" and copy the link

- paste the link into the telegram chat to link it to your account

- now when you go to zlibrary there's an option to "send to telegram" and it works

I think I've worked out (part of the reason) why there's been such a huge uptick in folks who don't reblog things on here.

This post has like 14k notes right now, and the tags and comments and reblogs are FULL of people who didn't know about fast-reblog, and -- you guys have been slow-reblogging this whole time!?!??!?!?

In the interests of a) making your lives easier, and b) encouraging you to reblog posts, which is what keeps this site alive, here's how you fast-reblog:

On mobile: press and hold the reblog button. Your blog icon will appear. If you have sideblogs, all of the different icons will appear. Drag to whichever blog you want to reblog to, and release. Job done.

On desktop: hold down the E key and click reblog. Job done.

You're welcome. Now get reblogging.

I always thought the top horizontal bars of the Ts were the closed eyes, and the vertical parts were the tears running down the cheeks, so like, silent tears?

I always thought T_T meant annoyed or bored/unimpressed. I didn’t realize it was supposed to be 🥺. The things you learn randomly on tumblr on a Friday morning lol.

I mean I have no idea because I still don't know what emoji that is lol. And actually not totally sure what T_T means, like upset I guess?
