Snapchats from frat Aaron Hotchner

These are before you start dating, he's deff trying to earn some trust. He's only has hookups before and he wants more with you and so is deff trying to do this "the right way"

I have posts edited and done for right before you start dating, like you both know you both like eachother and is deff getting very flirty, so if anyone likes these and would like me to share those let me know.

This is also not edited lol so sorry.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

I feel like this would be one of the firsts he sends you. You two have been chatting in class and when he comes in to your coffee shop. The friendship is growing.

He always invites you to his frats weekly party but honestly it's scary, he has no obligation to stay with you the whole night (he would let's be honest) so there's just too many variables.

So when he starts sending you little updates during the parties about how he's just tried the most disgusting drink he might die, or how he made a drink he thinks you'd like, or how a game would be more fun with you "I'm loosing angel, I need you on my team". He just has you blushing and kicking your feet.

Ok so you're still too anxious/nervous for a frat party (rightfully so those things look awful imo) but that's ok he just thought that would be the easiest way to spend time with you outside of school but he failed to realise that upto this point he's only gone after hookups but this is different, he wants you all the time for everything.

So he took a different approach, more one on one time. It starts when he invited you to. Afrat party and instead of your usual answer of "you know that's not my thing Aaron" you said "I have plans" which he very quickly jumped in to ask if he could join. This boy all but squealed when you happily agreed.

He did expect this to be a social thing but he quickly learned that your plans were a movie about an odd wizard and old woman playing while you painted/coloured and ate snacks.

That was his favourite night in a very long time, he internally prayed it wouldn't be a one time thing, specially after you admitted to these being your set Saturday night plans. He hopes he can become part of your set plans.

(he deff sends this to his best friend when he asks where he is, friend is equally as thrilled for his bud)

His presence in your life has now become a constant and you couldn't be happier. You're all but fully comfortable with him letting yourself be you around him and he couldn't be happier.

You're not as reserved, jocking with him even picking fun at him which he is eating up.

He comes to your job every Friday to "do schoolwork" which tbf he is but also just admiring you.

You make fun of his boring order everytime he orders his "large black coffee" with no sugar. But the last couple of visits he's let you make up his order as whatever you want knowing it would make you happy to as you say "make his life better through caffeinated joy".

They do tend to be your favourite orders given the next picture which he 100% put on his story which you begged him to change to his private story.

This is one of his favourite pictures and 100% becomes his phone background when you start dating.

Your cat is his nemesis.

You cuddles and love that cat all the time and it's 100% jealousy he wishes you were hugging and kissing him.

He's also convinced that the cat is looking at him smugly while you kiss him.

Cat deff also hissed at him when he comes into your apartment, it's a love triangle lol

He's told you the looks your cat gives him which you obviously thinks it's ridiculous so he sends you this as "proof"

What are your ships in ddlc? I noticed you do all the ships- If you ship all then what’s your favorite ship?

Now, whoever you are how did you that i was thinking of talking about my ship opinions soon?? mind wizard

SO, here’s the thing : when it comes to ships in genera it takes a lot for me to actually have OTPs and stuff and this is especially true in ddlc for me. For me shipping is more of a “sure, i could get behind this” sort of thing, except if once in a blue moon i find that one ship that alters my brain chemistry but believe it or not that has not really happened to me with any of the ddlc ships. It has happened with the game as a whole, but not really with the ships. The only one that has come close i’d say is sayonika but that’s more bc they happen to be the characters that i think about the most

That being said, i’d say i ship every ship in the game, simply because i could honestly see all of them working out in one way or another. Sure, they’re are some i like more than others but generally all of them work. And yes, this includes the Mc ships even though i like them less bc the side stories blew it out of the park with the chemistry between the girls

Speaking of the side stories, they are the sole reason i got into the shipping side of the fandom lol. The base game, as influential as it was for me, never really ignited any shipping sparks ig. I actually could not care less for the shipping before the side stories, bc most of it felt kind of trope-y ironically enough. Like, Natsuri was the big one, which was only popular bc of the whole opposite’s attract thing (not that there’s anything wrong with that ofc, it just never really resonated with me). Sayonika was a victim of what i like to call the “leftovers syndrome” where two characters are shipped bc they are the only ones left to be shipped with.

And Mc.. well let’s talk about that actually. Mc x Yuri is well… how do i put this. They have absolutely nothing in common. I don’t necessarily hate this ship however, if i see it done right i can like it. Mc x Natsuki was alright, the banter was fun, they actually have things they can talk about, it’s overall a nice ship. I will say i prefer them as close friends, but if i was to see media (fan art, fics, mods etc) where it’s done right, i can appreciate it. Mc x Sayori is also a ship i can enjoy from time to time, probably the most out of any Mc ship. Again, i do prefer talking about their friendship more though but now that i’m writing this down i realise i’m just a slut for male/female friendships. Mc x Monika truly depends on what context the characters are given. Are we talking about non-sentient Monika x Mc? Bc that can be pretty fun. If we are talking about sentient Monika x Mc, i see a very interesting dynamic (not a particularly good one) where Monika is basically using Mc as a vessel for the player in her desperation. Can Mc feel this dynamic? Does he understand in some way that he’s the second choice, even if he doesn’t know the truth about their world? How does it affect him? Its fun to ponder about this ig, but it doesn’t really make for a healthy relationship

Then the side stories came out, where the characters evolved from their one-dimensional tropes into actual personalities with enticing dynamics between them and i was immediately sold. That being said, i still don’t really have an OTP per say, bc as stated before all of them could work out. Which is definitely bc of how we get to see each of them interact individually in each side story. In every side story, we see each character interact with the other and learn how to grow as individuals because of it. I could see each pairing happening individually, i could see them being a poly couple, maybe even a qpr, or just a very close friend group too! There is a lot of love between the characters, whether that is romantic, platonic or something in between im not 100% certain on, but the love is definitely there.

Anyway, you also asked what my favourite ship would be, and i’ll probably say Sayonika since most of the media I consume tends to be with them

WOW this was a long post. Hope i didn’t bore you too much. Thank you for the ask!!

Hello! I was just wondering what your favorite svt fics were? Looking for a good read! Love your writing btw!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE QUESTION - THANK YOU!!! LOL

In no particular order! (As a disclaimer, I do mostly just read for certain members so these recs will not be comprehensive! I will also try not to repeat the ones I have mentioned before.)

Vernon:

Oh Where Did the Party Go? by @dropsofletters -- Hands down one of the best Vernon angst fics on this platform! It's long, but the suspense, mutual pining, and fine line between fact and fiction keeps you engaged the whole time! I will warn you, it's heavy because of the way it approaches social hierarchy, but I think the author does it very eloquently! I still remember staying up super late reading this lol. I will admit I almost cried :')

Pretty Lies by @lonelywhalien22 -- Inspired by (pop/punk) rock music, especially Black Eye, OP does an amazing job capturing the edginess of this genre in this fic!! I've re-read it several times lol. Haven't quite seen Vernon's character be captured in a more stoic/colder persona, but it was done tastefully :) and the character development is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

work husband by @wondernus -- THERE'S A REASON THIS HAS 3k+ NOTES!!! Okay, I am not usually a fluff reader, so this took me by surprise, but this has to be my absolute favorite Vernon fic ever 😫 It's about two teachers who act like a couple, but won't own up to it. The relationship development is slow and frustrating af, but has me kicking and squealing like a teenager getting her first signed 1D poster in 2014 😭🤧😂 The side characters are also amazing!!! Nu has a way with words that is so poetic too - like, this is who I wanna be when I grow up!!! I could go on forever about this, but if there is one you HAVE to read for Vernon, it's definitely this one.

Soonyoung

The Times We Couldn't Say Goodbye by @husbandhoshi -- I really loved this one because in a sense, it captures all stages of what it means to fall in and out of(?) love (/how sometimes as much as you love someone life is a bitch and just doesn't work out at all)? There's the twist of this being a fantasy story, with Soonyoung being a wizard. It's amazing how the author captures their relationship just ~2k words, but she does and leaves you feeling like a gutted fish flopping on a dock in the best way possible :)

Misc.

In Pursuit of Wedding Bliss by @fantasyescapes17 -- This whole series is incredibly well-written! It's a regency!au centered around social season, where some of the members come to London to meet and find spouses. Each member has their own arc/series, but the way they're interwoven into each others' stories is so clever!!! That said, would recommend reading all of it, bc if you miss one members' story, it might be hard to understand the others. My personal favorite was Jeonghan's - I have read many good Jeonghan fanfics before, but this was just a whole 'nother level of in love LOL. It really captures his flirtatious/devious ways, but also his genuine and caring nature! The main oc is also really refreshing bc she's confident and knows what she wants without being **too** out there, which is nice for this era where most girls are portrayed as one or the other. That said, Mingyu's and Hoshi's were also really good! Just read the whole thing! LOL.

I'll stop here before I bore y'all with my commentary 😅🥲 In general, I share my faves on #twogyuu:recs if you're interested in seeing more! I read for SVT, NCT, and occasionally, TBZ. There might be some BTS fics on there from my early silent reader days, but not so much anymore.

In summary:

Favorite longshot authors: @dropsofletters, @wonwoonlight, @wondernus, @secndlife, and @shuaflix. I've been meaning to check-out @amourcheol and more of @husbandhoshi as well, but just haven't had the time yet 😭

Favorite drabble authors: @wqnwoos, @satoruvt, and @ssentimentals

Favorite smau authors: I don't read these often, but @suhnshinehaos has a couple that I really enjoyed!

Enjoy! Happy reading :)

#twogyuu:recs #not at me just realizing that most of these fic recs are vernon fic recs 🤡#oops #i promise i do read for others too LOL

high infidelity- harry j potter x reader

"do you really wanna know where i was april 29?"

p: harry j potter x reader w: cheating, angst, hearts being broken whoops, not proofread a/n: i wanted to do something for this song cause it's april 29 and its been stuck in my head for a week. so i kinda threw whatever idea i had in my head lol

Harry Potter and (Y/N) (L/N) were two names you did not hear without the other. Ever since their fifth year, the two seem inseparable. Harry loved them and didn't know what life would be like without them (though he wouldn't want to think about it). After the end of the second wizarding war, Harry proposed to (Y/N) and life seemed to be perfect.

Or at least that's what it would seem from an outsider's perspective. Lately, there seemed to have been some trouble between the two wizards. Harry was busy as an auror in training, putting in the extra work to prove himself (even though he already did as The Boy Who Lived), which meant he wouldn't get home til late. Meanwhile, (Y/N) decided to become a healer, having a knack for healing and had already done some work with Madam Pomfrey during Hogwarts. The hours were long, but (Y/N) still had some spare time, though it was difficult to be able to spend time with Harry with his work.

Lately though, it seemed like (Y/N)'s hours were getting longer and longer, often not coming home until the middle of the night and being called in on days off. There was even a day in April where (Y/N) was gone the whole day only to return the next morning saying they wanted her to help a terribly sick patient.

Harry had found this odd, he wouldn't expect St. Mungo's to overwork (Y/N) like that. Hell even the ministry didn't overwork the people in training unless severely necessary, which was rare.

On his off day, Harry decided to visit Ron in his shared apartment with Hermione, since (Y/N) is at work and he hasn't seen Ron in a minute. He brings up (Y/N)'s long hours to Ron.

"I never seen them much anymore. It's always we see each other in the morning and then right before we go to bed. But lately they've been getting home really late. I don't know, I'm just worried Ron." Harry says.

"Well have you talk to them about it? Can't you guys request time off to spend time?" Ron asks him. Harry shakes his head. "Every time I say something they get mad and we have an argument." This was true. The perfect couple was no longer perfect. There were more arguments than they ever had during Hogwarts. To Harry, it seemed like the love was fading.

"Really?" Ron was a little astound by this, seeing as (Y/N) and Harry always hated being mad at each other and arguing. "And you say they've been coming home later?"

Harry nods his head again. "There was one night where they didn't even come back til morning." Ron started piecing the puzzle together, but did not want to believe his assumptions. Poor Harry would be heartbroken if it was true.

"Mate." Ron started. "Do you think they could be cheating on you?"

Harry felt his world stop at the thought of this. His precious (Y/N), in bed with another man? Spending their precious time with someone else? But it would make sense. Why they would come home late, the calls saying they have to stay later than usual. More particularly, where they could've been April 29.

Ron could seeing the pain and tears forming in his best friend's eyes. "Hey Harry, I could be wrong. Maybe they truly are busy." Saying anything to save Harry's pain.

"No Ron, I think you're right. I have to talk to them tonight."

So Harry sat in the living room of their home, waiting to (Y/N) to arrive. He hears the door unlock and sees the person he was looking for. He stands up.

"Hey Harry," (Y/N) says while hanging up their coat. Harry decides it was now or never.

"Have you been cheating on me?"

(Y/N) stops and looks at him. "What?" Harry speaks. "You heard me. Have you seeing someone else?"

There was a flash of fear and nerves in (Y/N)'s eyes. "Why would you even think that, Harry?"

He scoffs. "Why would I think that? Well, how about the fact that you're always at work? That you always seem to have to stay later and don't even come home til the middle of the night?"

(Y/N) interrupts him. "That's cause I'm busy treating people! They keep me late because they think I'm one of the best trainees and could use the work. And what about you? You never seem to have time for me cause you're too busy with auror training."

"We're not talking about me (Y/N), we're talking about you. You know how intense auror training is anyways. It feels like you work way longer hours than me. And everytime I bring something like this up you always seem to get upset."

"Of course I'm gonna get upset when you're attacking me like this!" (Y/N) screams.

"Well it wouldn't feel like I'm attacking you if you told me what's going on." Harry says. "You never even told me where you were that one day in April. You didn't even come back until morning."

(Y/N) responds, "I was busy at work." Harry felt himself getting more and more frustrated by the minute. "Bullshit, there's no way they kept you at St. Mungos for practically a day."

"Now I'm gonna ask you again, where were you April 29?"

Harry could see the (Y/N) finally exploded. "Do you really want to know where I was on April 29? You really want to know?" They scoff before continuing, "I was out with someone, getting the love and pleasure I haven't gotten for ages!"

Harry was shocked. So (Y/N) really was seeing someone else. The only thing he could say was "Who?"

They stood silent, avoiding eye contact with Harry who asked them again. "Who were you with? Who was giving you the love that I 'apparantly' didn't give you when it was you who wasn't appreciating me?

"Theodore Nott."

Theodore Nott was a Slytherin who was in the same year as both (Y/N) and Harry, though (Y/N) already knew him through family members and the occasional parties their families hosted.

Harry tried to hold back the tears of frustration and sadness. "You slept with Theodore, because you thought I wasn't loving you enough? (Y/N), you could've fucking told me. You knew I would've done anything for you. I would've made time. Here I was, wondering if I was overthinking that you didn't love me anymore, when I guess you really don't."

"Harry-" "No (Y/N), you made your choice, and it wasn't me. I want you get your stuff and leave."

Harry could see the tears welling up in (Y/N)'s eyes. In any other situation, he would've tried to cheer them up, make them laugh, comfort them. But right now, all he could do was watch them flow before letting his silently fall.

He watched (Y/N) go into their room and gathered some of their stuff in a suitcase. "You can get the rest of your stuff another day." (Y/N) just nods as they zip the suitcase close and walk to the door.

They open the door before looking back at Harry. "I'm sorry, Harry." He shuts the door behind them before sliding to the floor, letting his sobs fill the empty room.

There was so many different ways that this could've gone, but Harry would never thought it would end from not loving each other enough.

2, 4, 17!

omg hiii rachel!!! hope you're well!!

2. Do you read/reread your own fic?

i do!! when i first post something i reread it a lot, just cuz that feeling like, holy shit it's done/real/out there is so cool and it's fun to picture how other people are seeing it. and then after a couple of months or years it's always nice to revisit things! sometimes rereading old stuff is like... i have no memory of this place, and it's fun because it's like reading something someone else wrote. and then sometimes i reread something and i'm like wow. the fic i JUST wrote has the same plot as this thing from three years ago. fuck. but it's mostly fun! and fun to see the ways i've changed as a writer and the things that have stayed the same.

4. How many WIPs do you have right now?

so my olivier x izumi fic, "recognition," is almost all the way done -- i only have one chapter left to post! but it does still count as a WIP because sadly i keep thinking of tiny details to change to the remaining unpublished sections sometimes even minutes before they've gone up! but the last chapter will be out on saturday!

and then my other actual WIP is my riza x lust fic, which has been ongoing in my notes app almost as long as my olizumi one! i'm excited to get back to it once "recognition" is done, but a little bit apprehensive, because i think i'm getting nearer to the time it needs to go out of the notes and into a document, and the organization is going to give me a headache lol. i AM very excited to be able to share it with people, though! if you wanna get a flavor for their vibe, my tag for them is here hehe.

(the WIP graveyard currently has two graves -- one for my ryoko x ayeka sequel to "another thing entirely" and the other for the prequel to encanto i was writing about the triplets! maybe some day i'll come back to either of them but for now they languish, unfinished, in my google docs lol)

7. How many ideas for fics do you have right now?

the next thing i'd like to work on/wiggle around after rizalust is probably lust/riza/roy? i have this sort of... dnd style au for them floating around (also you can see the inspo for it in their tag) where lust is like. An Evil Wizard (occupation, her class is proooobably more like warlock lol) and roy's a flame sorcerer and riza's an archer, and they're looking to hire a wizard for some kind of quest. but she's also really hot. mostly i just want an excuse for lust & roy to be able to give riza everything she deserves but in a sillier & lower stakes setting than canon!

and the other like. scraps of notes i've got is an ed x ling thing, which is so far only two tiny pieces of ed pov about 1) their time in gluttony land 2) post-greed thoughts. in like an ideal world this would turn into the like, development of the whole paninya x winry x ed x ling x lan fan poly chain but i seriously doubt i will ever get that far lol

#thank you so much for the ask!!!!!#displayheartcode #ask #ask game #<3

Okay so this is GM anon, to answer your questions: as a friend group we definitly lean towards sci-fi and adventure, as in we enjoy movies in those genres so we know and enjoy the conventions thereof. Horror too, but in the style of Scream watch-alongs, or watching scary movies to make fun of them (and hide that you're feeling creeped out) no actual like gore or serious contemplative horror. I don't really know if it's better to go with more serious of more silly games, I was def looking at the more silly stuff bc the serious ones feel really awkward to me (but that might be informed by the fact that most serious RPG's I've heard are longform? The actors get really deep and attatched to their characters and I can't really picture feeling that intense? But maybe I'm just biased to think that short games are always more comedic and silly?). I think I'd prefer more rules/guided games to start with, I think it'll help with getting started and not freezing up when you can't think of something. I think puzzle games or like a heist or mystery sound great! Social interaction too, that's def one of the plus points of RPG's and games over watching something, that you're spending the whole time talking to eachother. Tbh I really don't know what would be best to focus on, I'm just spitballing, I just think something with a clear goal. We usually have at least a couple of hours time together, but it's not necessary for a game to last that whole time. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!! I'm in a different timezone, it's actually pretty late for me so if I don't answer any follow up questions, it's bc I'm sleeping LOL

hi again gm anon! glad u did not wait up for me bcos it took me a while (i have...... many games), but here is a handful of recs for you!

first up, i think generally caltrop core games might be p good for a beginner; it's a very simple d4 system with very structured rules (how much depends on which game, but generally it's turn-based with set actions to choose from). there's still room for roleplaying & improv ofc, but it's easy to keep a handle on the table. there's been a caltrop core game jam with lots of submissions before, and ofc u can browse the tag on itch, but something like crystal souls or cursed confections might be fun for your group!

futuristic scifi 'group of thieves/scoundrels/rebels/etc do a mission' games are also very popular (i own like........ 20? 30? some are cyberpunk and some are spaceships and just. lot of em.) and also generally have a decent structure to work with (altho less turn-based than caltrop core, usually). a lot of them are geared towards longer campaigns, but can be done as a one-shot if you ignore some of the between-missions stuff. or do it as a post-mission cooldown thing. u kno. (lots of them are sorta forged in the dark based, but the slightly less complex ones i think are good for beginners; fitd can get really involved, but there are also simplified ones!)

you might enjoy offworlders, off the grid: resurgence, xanadu, subway runners, what's so awesome about hacking the planet, weasel overdrive, make our own heaven, bubblegum wizards 2, or dwindle.

and finally, i do love a dungeon crawl; keeps everything to a relatively small & defined space, but you can get weird with it (npcs in a dungeon? yeah! timespace fabric folding in a dungeon? yeah!) and it's a place to do all the puzzles and riddles and inexplicable creature encounters you generally don't get a chance for in a 'here you are in A World' sorta game. also, easy to keep short (my game sessions tend to run 4+ hours for oneshots, but in a dungeon crawl you can just. skip to the last room lmao.) games designed for dungeon crawling tend to lean more horror (if they don't lean..... d&d, basically), but i tried to pick ones where you can either take out most horror elements, or choose to play them lighthearted and chill/campy. you may like crwlr, the dark below, or the empty house.

.......and that's some basic game recs for your group; should be fine for 3-4 players, or even for one-on-one play if you can't get everyone together, altho that's not the ideal. as far as games specifically designed as two-player games, i know there are a bunch of them on itch, but most of them are gmless (usually asymmetrical gmless, but still gmless), and many of them lean heavily emotional (altho some are silly!). i'm not sure if you have different requirements in mind for a two-player game; lmk and i'll see what i can do? altho probably not until after this weekend, i got some stuff to work on for school T_T (this is....... part of why i'm not actively looking to gm rn, even tho i waaaaaant to. too many school.)

oh also podcasts! i know there's more than this around, but you can always check out oneshotpod for shortform games of many kinds! international podcast month also has some oneshot ttrpg episodes; i gmed a game of dwindle this year that was lots of fun! i'll poke around for more sometime, but for now i rly gotta get some sleep lol.

#long post #algie talks ttrpgs #hope this helps anon!!!! i am. love games.

⭐ instead of a piece let's do: character development in the last year you want to discuss!

it has been ten months since these characters became who they are (and seven months since i made this side blog for them and their stories). a lot has happened in those ten months, namely in terms of character development. so, i mean, i could really go in any direction with this, couldn't i? so i guess i'll talk about the two that are the most obvious to talk about, and that's will and sam.

because even though lucy and sadie have changed in slight ways from the place where they began (whether that's the place they began in 2007 or in 2019), and even though steph technically didn't exist before december 2021, and even though daniel was always a little bit mine ... nothing can top how surprised i am by the things that have happened for sam and will.

let me put it this way: as a writer, i think it's important to align your characters with the principal cast of the wizard of oz. lucy, by default, is dorothy because she's kind of the lead, sadie is glinda because she's the nice one who knows how to take you home, daniel is the cowardly lion because he underestimates himself ... but who are the scarecrow and the tin man? originally, i just assumed sam was the scarecrow, and will was the tin man. i was quite wrong ... wrong enough that i did have to change the tracks on their respective spotify playlists, lol

the thing of it is that neither will nor sam was supposed to be as smart as they are. god, will wasn't even supposed to go to college (and neither was sam, which remains somewhat true, since he stops at his associate's degree). but when i was first trying to figure out what to do with these personalities, if you asked me who was the smarter one, i wouldn't have hesitated to say will. he was just supposed to be a different kind of smart than the kind he is now. because -- and this is insane to me now -- will was supposed to be a petty criminal. and he gets into a few fights and steals a couple of things in junior high and high school, but his motivations are different. he's either trying to impress people (like his sister sarah, whose image he tries to emulate) or defend them. and it doesn't even happen that often. i started to understand more about what he looks like, more about his place as the second of six children (and the only boy), more about his childhood relationship with lucy, even ... and it occurred to me. will isn't (very) street smart. he just wants to be. instead, will is book smart and deeply insecure about it. at first, he's insecure about it because he doesn't think it's cool. later, he's insecure about it because he knows it's cool, and he doesn't think he's smart enough. and that's just not the character arc i expected for him. i didn't expect him to have image problems or to assume he's always "less than" others. and i really didn't expect him to be a gung-ho honors student. but i like him that way. another thing i didn't expect from will is that he cares so much about other people's feelings, and he doesn't even try to hide it. other iterations of the character would have tried to conceal their compassion on account of it "not looking cool," but that's just never been will. from worrying about his appearance, to loving lucy, to throwing himself into fatherhood before he's even done with eleventh grade, will has always put others first with no shame, no reservations. he knows he has a heart. i still think he leads primarily with movement (i.e. rash and impulsive decisions, usually backed up by the impetus to make them all see!), but he knows he has a heart. what he's not always sure he has is a brain. and of course he does, and it's a great one at that. he just has to be sandwiched in between his wife, the genius, and his best friend, the other genius (who we'll get to). either way, will is constantly going through a crisis of intelligence, which (to my utmost surprise) makes him my scarecrow.

i think sam's development over the past ten months is even more interesting. in the end, turning will into a good student who openly cares about others is surprising, but you and i both know that the underpinnings of that, the alternate possibilities, were always there in the original sketches. sam's almost completely different from the place where we found him. sam was not supposed to be book smart at all. he wasn't even supposed to care about spelling words correctly. in the first drafts, sam just slapdashes a couple of thoughts together, not really caring what he says, just trying to make it through life on charm and generosity. and that's still true in some ways ... it's just that it's different now. sam still stumbles into thoughts, but these thoughts are informed by an eidetic memory and a genius-level IQ, not to mention a wealth of popular and canonical references at his disposal. originally, sam was just supposed to be a really nice guy. now, sam is a genius who has chosen to back away from traditional academic pursuits. he could be the best if he wanted, but he doesn't want. and i like that so much better. not only is it more fun to write a sam who is absurdly smart, but also, i think it gives him an interesting character arc when you look at him next to his best friend in will. will wants to be smarter, to succeed harder, to be noticed. sam knows he has a lot of gifts that make him noticeable, and he wishes he didn't have to live up to those expectations. he feels burdened by his greatness. and shortly after he begins to accept his greatness, his intelligence, his unique sense of humor and style ... he is struck down by life and a promise he made to charlie when he was eighteen years old. he's a tragic character -- not just because he dies but because he's struck down as he's finding his prime. the conclusion of sam's arc is that all the greatness his family and friends tried to get him to live up to was futile. his greatness was a death sentence from the moment he was born.

another thing i expected from sam was for him to be more outwardly emotional, more expressive, more willing to share what ails him. and that's ... that's not exactly untrue now, but i've written a sam who runs from his emotions more than he lets them out (which, again, separates him from will, who is all-explosion, all the time). sam uses humor and art to distance himself from the way he feels, and he knows it's unhealthy. he knows that's not the way to live. but it's like he can't stop. it's like he's embarrassed by his feelings. i still think he's governed by emotions more than even will (the difference being that sam will always prioritize what feels good and right to him while will prioritizes what feels good and right to the group), but he'd rather not wear those feelings on his sleeve. sam would like to look untouchable, to look strong, to look like he has it together. but he also knows it's a trap, and eventually, it will all cave in and crush him. but he knows he has a heart because it breaks. and he hates that it breaks. he's my tin man. deeply emotional with a hesitance to express it.

i don't really know what i'm saying here or if any of this is new compared to what i've said about them before, but they've gone on the biggest journey from sketch to full-bodied character ... so i thought it was a good idea to talk about them in particular, lmao

I made a Fanfic or Oneshot for my friend. It’s one of their DND OCs.

Don’t mind the grammatical errors I might’ve made lol😢 But I wrote half of it about a couple of weeks ago and then stopped writing it before continuing it. My writing might have an inconsistency and that’s because I barely write often. I wasn't exactly sure how to end the ending so it kinda dropped off😭

———————-

GOODNESS GRACIOUS

By: Teddyrizz

Doctor Strange x Vincent (DND OC)

Word count: 2k

Summary: A one-shot of Super powerful wizards being goofy and all about love and kindness

Tags: Fluff, Wizards, magic,💔😢😭 Bad writing, Idk, Swearing, Inconsistency

—————————

Strange winced in pain. A small wound had appeared on his arm. A slash from a blade had cut through his clothing. He looked down at his arm and then back up at his apprentice. He gave a sly grin.

“Not bad. You're getting better.”

He said with a chuckle. He wiped his head from the sweat that had accumulated on his forehead. He pushed some of his hair aside to look at her.

“Thanks, been practicing. Think you'll be able to handle it?”

He raised an eyebrow

“Someone's getting cocky… What would that mean?”

“Eh. I'm not that cocky… Just more… better with a blade. Can't handle something with your shaky magic hands?”

He stopped casting a spell with his sling ring. He crossed his arms in annoyance.

“Of course, I can handle a blade. I'll have you know, I'm very proficient with my hands. I was a neurosurgeon before obviously.”

Vincent gave him a knowing look

“Yeah. Whatever you say”

Feeling hot-tempered and annoyed, Strange looked away to the side and huffed in annoyance. He glanced at her quickly before turning around and walking away. His cloak went up elegantly in the air as it twirled behind him.

“We’re done training for today. To finish up your duties. I'll come back to check on you soon.”

She looked at him with a blank expression. Confused but she ignored it and didn't care.

“Fine, fine. Okay, sir.”

She said she began to continue her job as his apprentice. She cleaned up some books and put them away. After a while of cleaning and putting books back in their correct category, she sat down at her office desk. She sighed. She had already cleaned the sanctum prior but Strange just wanted her to do more like usual.

“How boring, nothing fun happens here anymore.”

She glanced around for a second before fiddling with a pen. Looking down at the desk in front of her, she grabbed the book that she was reading off spells to practice earlier. She eventually began to read.

An hour passed as she was reading, using her sling ring to open up a small portal and cast a few magic spells on a plant. Strange had been busy dealing with his problems. Soon he walked back to the library.

He saw Vincent sitting at her desk, he decided it would be a good time to tell her that she should be helping the recruits and training them. But he was impressed with how well she was getting by using magic. He slowly made his way toward her. Standing behind her.

“I see you've been busy.”

Vincent was slightly surprised as they hadn't noticed any presence in the room with her. Maybe she was focusing way too hard. But besides that, as soon as Strange spoke, the spell she was casting bounced off the wall and hit Strange in the face. A small powerful blast hit his face and a blinding light appeared before him.

“AUGH DAMN WHAT THE FUCK?!”

He shouted, stumbling backward and bumping into a bookcase. A book fell off and hit his forehead and scratched his cheek. Almost tripped but his cloak pulled him quickly to his feet. She quickly turned around and looked at him and apologized.

“Crap! Are you good?”

“No?! Why would I be? You just… damn it… Just… Just

“Okay… Sorry.”

————————

SMALL TIME SKIP TO A COUPLE MINUTES LATER

————————

Strange was now sitting down on the desk with Vincent tending to his now bruised forehead. There was a small cut on the side of his cheek. Surprisingly, the blast of magic did some damage. She thought it would just blind him a little bit but things didn't work out that way.

“You know… You should be more careful next time.”

He rolled his eyes at that. He whipped his head away from her touch.

“Hold still, I gotta clean it and put some medicine on it.”

“I can do it myself. I'm not some weak child who needs to be taken care of.”

She raised one eyebrow at this before putting on an ointment on his small wound.

“Yeah, sure. You can heal yourself with magic, but you can't heal your crippled fingers.”

He scoffed at that.

“These are permanent. I've also gotten used to having my hands in this state. It reminds me of how reckless I was.”

She nodded slowly before adding a bandage to his cheek. Just a small one.

“You know I don’t need a bandage, right? It's not that bad. It's just a scratch.”

“Don't want it to scar your pretty face, do you?”

“No…”

He looked up at her and let out a small cough. A little embarrassed but still he didn't show it. His exterior was quite calm.

“You think that I have a pretty face?”

“Sure, you look like a hammerhead shark.”

“What's that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing.”

She said, trying to avoid making eye contact. As she finished bandaging up his face, her hand came a little closer than before. Strange tensed up a little. The last thing he needed was another injury caused by his apprentice's actions.

Vincent was looking straight ahead when she felt his hand on hers. Their hands were touching. She could sense the warmth coming from him. Her breath caught in her throat. Strange was still holding onto her hand tightly as she stared at him without saying a word. They just stayed there like that for a short while longer. Both staring into each other's eyes and not being the one to move first. Until she decided to be the first one to speak.

“You like holding my hand?”

It wasn't the question Strange expected, but he didn't pull away or respond. It was a rather unexpected question. He didn't say anything else so she continued.

“Or maybe you prefer other kinds? My hand, a kiss, a caress. Your thumb brushing against mine?”

She moved her thumb slightly so they met again. She closed the gap between their palms with her thumb. And Strange couldn't help but react. This gesture caused him to squeeze her hand even tighter. He tried to ignore the butterflies fluttering inside of him.

“What are we doing, Vincent?”

His voice suddenly sounded quiet and hesitant. She kept smiling.

“Well, what we are doing is just playing around. It has nothing to do with what we do.”

She said as she squeezed his hand back. Her smile faded and he looked away.

They didn't talk after that. They stood there. As silence filled the room except for the sound of their soft breathing. She then pulled her hand slowly away. She slowly began to move and walk away before he grasped her by the hand.

“Wait.”

She stopped and slowly turned around. Her head cocked to the side.

“What's the matter?”

“Stay with me. For a while.”

He whispered quietly. A little nervous as his nerves were all over the place. She didn't know why. Everything seemed normal.

“Please. Stay.”

His tone sounded slightly desperate and a little nervous. She wasn’t sure exactly why he was a little bit like this. Until it came to her. The spell she used must’ve been something that caused him to be like this.

She hesitated at first. She knew why. She knew why he was asking that. She took a deep sigh before slowly sitting beside him and resting her hand on top of his palm. He smiled brightly as he placed his free arm on her back. They remained silent for a while.

Eventually, the two got comfortable. Vincent began to feel sleepiness as his eyes began to droop. He leaned heavily on Strange’s shoulder who had her eyes closed. She had never seen the man so vulnerable before. She gently brushed his hair from his face. He relaxed a little more into the warmth of her touch.

After a while they decided that they should sit on the floor. She sat down and leaned against the desk. He followed suit and did the same. They eventually fell asleep as the silence filled the room.

——————-

Chapter 2

——————-

After several hours of silence, a loud noise woke both Strange and Vincent from their peaceful position on the floor. They looked around confused and worried. Strange looked at Vincent with a concerned gaze.

"Are you okay?"

He asked quietly, rubbing the side of her neck.

"Mhm…"

"Can you stand?"

She groaned before nodding her head. He helped her stand up before letting go of her hand. They walked out of the library together. She had to stay on guard. Her mind was running a million miles a minute as they walked through the hallway. Her thoughts immediately went towards Strange. As they walked through the sanctums great halls. Searching for the earlier noise. She felt a warm sensation of someone beginning to grasp her hand. It started softly, with gentle pressure and then gradually increased and soon she was feeling a strong grip, as if he was grabbing onto her wrist. She looked down and realized that she was gripping his hand. Quickly letting go of him, she cleared her throat a little bit and glanced at him. They both turned away from each other. Walking in complete silence until they reached her room. She unlocked it and stepped inside, closing the door and locking it behind her, and then turning to face Strange.

"You grabbed my hand.”

“I apologise. That… Wasn't really my intention, but… I suppose in our current situation it was necessary.”

He muttered awkwardly. She sighed before walking over and opening the curtains. A faint red glow illuminated the room. She opened a drawer and searched around for some painkillers and bandages. Finally finding the items she searched them out and tossed them to Strange. He caught them effortlessly before glancing over the items she gave him.

"I can take care of myself-"

"I know."

He sighed and walked up to her. Patting her head. He had to look up a little bit at her since she was wearing heels. Heels that made her a few inches taller than him. With every passing second, he grew more nervous. What was happening here? He was always the confident one but… It seemed like this was the moment where she would push him away. It was probably for the best anyway. If he kept seeing this, he wouldn't be able to handle it. But he felt a strange feeling tugging inside of him. Something that just needed to be done in the moment. He sighed deeply before he reached up towards her chin and placed a hand underneath it. He gently brushed his thumb against her lower lip. She froze for a brief moment. A moment during which he held her gaze. He slowly brought himself forward to press his lips against her own. There were no fireworks. No sudden sparks flying. Nothing. Not even a light gasp escaped her mouth. She only watched him as he pulled away slowly. His gaze looking up at her. He seemed in a rather affectionate mood apart from his usual cocky and arrogant attitude.

“You should practice more. Also… Stay inside the library and rest for a bit. I’ll see you later.”

He said as he gripped her hand gently. She could feel the scars from his surgery he had on his hands. She watched as he pulled away slowly and began to walk out of the room as he unlocked it. His cloak flourished behind him as he walked.

Strange stood motionless for a couple of seconds before moving her gaze away from him and towards the ground. She had no idea what just happened. All she knew was that she liked it. Liked his touch. He kissed her. Even though it was a simple brush of lips. She had an extremely hard time believing it had actually happened. She smiled a little and touched her lips. Feeling that tingling sensation that was left there. She quickly composed herself and walked up to the mirror. Grabbing a small towel, she ran the cold water over her face before looking at herself again. She couldn’t seem to stop smiling. She dried off her face, took a long sip of water. She let out a sigh and smiled.

“So that’s how it feels to make someone smile…”

She thought to herself.

Really wish that JCA episodes were listed in the right order, it's such a peeve that the season finale can happen but then there's extra episodes that should've been watched first. The worst offense is season 3, where I was really convinced that the season was losing out on tons of potential -- namely that the noble animals were never utilized outside their one episodes -- since it was getting to the finale so quickly. No, turns out there WAS an episode EXACTLY what I wanted before the finale... but it's listed immediately afterwards.

This compounded aspects of the finale I didn't like. I specify "compounded" because these issues would still be issues regardless if the episodes were in the right order, but the fact that I watched the finale thinking "this is the finale (<- dumbass)" the flaws just stand out more.

I quite enjoyed the power-up of the Dark Hand goons this season, and I was pumped to see Hak Fu eventually get in on it -- a nice way to raise the power levels and threats to the protagonist. But Hak Fu comes waaay too late in the show, only getting a couple episodes to even be around before he's returned to normal. Really would have liked to see Dark Chi Warrior Hak Fu get a little more use, especially since Dark Chi Dark Hand quickly became underwhelming.

This is made worse by the fact that everything happens so abruptly to end this season. Daolong literally turns around in his own evil lair, only to find Uncle casting a spell that just automatically reverts the Dark Chi Warriors into humans -- literally moments before they get supered up in magical armor, hyped up for a big battle against Shendu. All that gets dropped, because Uncle just finally happens to know the spell that makes Dark Chi Warriors turn to normal..... ughhhhhhhh

Uncle in particular is REALLY annoying this season, because almost all the conflict gets resolved by him and some bullshit magic that he just pulls out of his ass. He ruins so much tension by just having magical answers to everything, and its way too convenient how he just happens to know these spells when it matters -- and also immediately has a way to cast it. I like Uncle's magic shenanigans when there's some sort of obstacle in casting the spell, such as finding the right ingredients or getting the execution of the spell correct; it isn't fun when Uncle and an entire army of chanters just appear out of no where to stop the bad guys, which they do twice this episode, holy shit. In general it also just feels awkward that Uncle is now just fully equipped with magic lasers and shit this whole season, he goes from being a vulnerable bystander with a martial arts tricks, to a full-blown wizard that constantly equalizes the antagonist. It's just too much for Uncle, makes him a more important character than anyone else.

The plot with Shendu's rebirth was also a let-down, he just doesn't get to do anything meaningful before he's beat. By the time he gets his powers back, Uncle is already there with the spell lol. It would have been much, much cooler if Daolong and the Dark Hand had to help Jackie Chan beat Shendu, but nope, Daolong's only input is providing Uncle the sealing spell off-screen, for seemingly nothing in return except the vague idea of vengeance. Bah, stupid plot, it is what it is.

All in all this was a bit of a clunky season. Hunting for the talismans again was made more interesting by putting the powers into living animals, but not enough is done with the concept by the time it's over. Daolong sometimes poses as a credible threat, but he too often gets humiliated post-battles, and too often gets foiled by stupid shit that makes him less engaging as a villain -- but I do really like the evil chanting/vocalizing he does, aesthetically he's on-point. The finale really deserved to be a two-parter for a more satisfying climax. But otherwise it's still been good JCA fun.

Happy pre-halloween!! (do you have halloween?)

Yeah, walking a day on a broken ankle wasn't pleasant but it didn't register to me at the time that it mightve been broken 😅 (which is partly why I said I wouldn't be surprised if it had happened to marcia) I just thought I must've twisted it really badly until my parents dragged me to the hospital to get it checked lol

Cactus is still alive, I'm not watering it, I'm not touching it, it has sunlight and it doesn't smell of root rot so hopefully it'll make it 😬 I'll have to wait and see though.

And I'm glad you have safety procedures lol, I'd have been very worried if you didn't! You mentioned that you and marcia are a lot more careful with more dangerous spells in case it takes both of you out at once - has that ever happened? And what's the worst thing that's come of something going wrong with a spell that you know of (not necessarily with you and/or marcia, just in general)? I'll admit I know nothing about spells and how they work but I imagine things can get bad quickly

~sincerely, your favourite stranger from the internet of the distant past :)

Dear favourite stranger from the internet of the distant past :),

Happy Halloween! Hallowseeth as we call it is popular in the port but is pretty much ignored in the castle - it tends to get a bit messy and no one wants to deal with that 😅 Quite a few people head to the port though as the whole dressing up and drinking bit can be good fun. I kinda wish we did the whole carving gourds thing, they're always really cool to see.

Yeah thats pretty relatable, I've been both the person dragged to the sick bay and the one doing the dragging lmao

Good luck to the cactus! An inspiration to us all🌵

Thankfully we've never had anything get both of us at once - I've knocked myself out a couple of times (and lightly set myself on fire once) and Marcia once passed out from Magykal exhaustion. Considering this is over the course of like. 10 years i don't think thats too bad really. There's also the non-badly-injuring mishaps which half of the time are harder to deal with but obvs not as threatening.

For things going wrong. Death is the biggie lmao. It's been years since we've had any in the wizard tower or the castle in general i think (like. pre me and pre marcia) but every few years you'll end up with someone trying out magyk way too advanced for themselves and doing some damage.

Last death as far as I know was when Alther had just started his apprenticeship and one of the slightly more idiotic wizards had a go at combining a Perception spell with a bit of Darkeness to try and make himself permanently seem taller and more intimidating. Adding in the Darke can twist intentions if you're not careful though, and he lost control so instead of it just being a perception spell it became a personal one. Instead of only seeming taller to people around him he actually stretched himself and broke his own neck 😬

Generally issues arise when someone tries to combine different types of spells (particularly when adding in a bit of Darkeness like above) or someone gets in the way of a spell. Someone getting in the way of a spell can be really bad as even pretty innocent low level ones can do damage if misdirected. There was a nasty case a while back where someone was trying to do a basyk Fyre spell (used often to get a fireplace going, pretty much everyone has a charm for this lying around), their grandma walked in front of them and Whoosh. she went up in flames. Thankfully she got put out quickly before much damage was done but that could've been really bad if they didn't live right next to the moat.

Sincerely, Sep "somehow still alive" Heap

#dont try combining spells kids #you too could end up four foot taller and dead #some spells are also volatile and they can go kaboom if pushed in the wrong direction #and magykal backlash aint fun to deal with itll leave you feeling sick all day

I finally finished making the nextgen versions of the original cast! Well, actually I only really did the main 16+the parents of nextgen kids that weren’t in class 1 lol. But even so that was like, 35 characters, so I think it’s a decent amount! I really dont wanna re-make all 144 lol, just the most relevant ones to the nextgen main cast and of course the main characters of the original story. Honestly it was a bit hard to re-imagine them as adults for the ones that were conceptualized as 14-18 (and in some cases younger), so it took me a while, but hopefully I did a good enough job regardless! I even made refs for their backs, though it’s just the same one flipped and edited slightly lol. Anyway as usual they’re all under the cut.

#finn's ocs #finn's art #nextgen #oc references #no infoboxes or anything since i already have those in the main oc masterpost #no exact ages either i decided not to get into specifics for EXACTLY how long it takes place after the story bc i didnt want to like #overthink and over-complicate it #theyre just boomers now thats all you need lmao #some of them look waaay different from before and others havent changed all too much #i mean for characters that were already in their 20s by the end of the original story their change is far less drastic #like the only difference with myos and phlox is the updated knight uniform design and different hairstyles #also myos with his hood down and the obvious fire wings but the latter actually happens towards the end of the original anyway #but i really think what i needed to do the most was make them look like PARENTS since thats the role they play in this story #(save for the ones in class 1 who dont have kids)#so like on top of looking like wizards or nobility or whatever they also need to look like they embarrass their kids on a daily basis #a few have momcuts lol. gallica has a fucking mullet #i feel like i have more to say but maybe its just the urge to infodump. i shouldnt go on TOO long so like if you have any questions #please feel free to send an ask!#i have a couple other asks in my inbox i wanna answer but i was working on this so i ended up not getting around to them until i was done...#but im done now so :) ill get to them #right after a snack lol this took a good while

First Lines

Thanks @tackytigerfic for tagging me - I adored reading yours so, so much. I'd honestly forgotten how many lovely lovely fics you've written in the last year - it was so nice to read back over the little intros to them.

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have fewer than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag some people to take part.

So here they are. (All of these are Drarry. For collabs, it's the first line that I myself wrote. Shamelessly copied formatting from tacky's)

To the surprise of many (except, of course her brother Al), the brave and fearless daughter of Harry Potter got sorted into Slytherin house. Desperately Seeking (M, 18.6k, WIP)

The thing is, Harry can't very well just tell Robards that yesterday he was kneeling on a worn-out carpet, cock in hand, his mouth and throat slack as Draco thrust hard and pulled his hair. Gather Your Will With Mine (E, 2k, collab)

Harry has had sex before—and it's been good; windows have rattled, lights have flickered and even gone out—but never like this. Love has left a printed trace (M, 1k)

He didn't think he'd live, was the thing. The paradox of hedonism (T, microfic)

Harry needed to unwind. Life's a beach, and then you... (M, 12k, collab)

Draco was looking for Harry when he spotted it. The Odd Couple (M, 1k)

They're not boyfriends. Shock, Shock, Horror, Horror (E, 11k, collab)

Harry knew that Draco was far too besotted with him to ever disobey him, but he liked the added security. Good things come (M, microfic)

It probably didn’t help growing up alongside a brigade of Manor elves highly adept at housekeeping spells. CLEAN (E, microfic)

"You can't keep doing this. You have to tell him what it does to you." The boy who keeps on living (T, microfic)

Remembering the whole thing now—with the benefit of distance in both time and geography (though it’s only been a week, and he’s only living on the other side of the Thames)—Harry finds that he’s a little nervous. Move, move (M, 9k)

It all started with Draco Malfoy being an atrociously clingy child. Threads of Hope (T, 5k)

"Is it? Him?" His Own Worst Critic (T, 5k)

He knows all too well how corrosive and dangerous it is—he brewed it himself, after all—but it doesn't stop him greedily bringing his nose to the vial and sucking in deep. Deluge (E, microfic)

Draco Malfoy was happy. My heart was far too glad (E, ~23k)

Upper Itchington was one of those wizarding villages. Harry, Harry, Quite Contrary (T, ~4k)

Harry seeks out Malfoy after they're eliminated, only to be told by Alicia, “He left. Apparated away with Zabini.” No more ace to play (E, microfic)

It's quiet by the lake this early. The next day (T, microfic)

This had been the worst idea. Brave Face (G, 0.5k)

“I'm serious, Draco. Potter’s wearing an earring.” Going for Gold (T, 0.7k)

There are so many good things about being flatmates with Potter. we do this (T, 1.7k)

I too did this a year ago and I was CERTAIN this post would overlap with the previous one. But no! Since that post I've written 15 fics and 10 microfics. Mad, Ted. No wonder I got so little adulting done.

Pattern: A lot of them are little statements and very short. And don't introduce much story. But that's where my killer 2nd sentences come in! (lol, convincing, right?)

Fave line: Either the one for Harry, Harry, Quite Contrary (Upper Itchington) or the one for Threads of Hope (Draco as clingy child). No major reason except I like them 😊

Let's see yours!

i REFUSE to believe that the ravenclaws did not have a drawing board in the common room to find out who the heir of slytherin is

it all started with a late-night conversation in the dorms

a 5th year ravenclaw was like “a lil sus that potter was there at the scene of the crime...aND THEN LAST YEAR HE ALLEGEDLY TOOK DOWN QUIRELL WHO WAS ACTUALLY VOLDEMORT??”

their ravenclaw friend goes “we should write this down”

notes spread out in the common room that lead to sharing theories

that lead to debates at 1 am on whether or not potter was innocent

a drunk ass ravenclaw who does some of their best work when drunk started drawing a timeline of events

the timeline kept getting added and added until they just decided to quit fucking around and realize that this was definitely serious (and definitely the plot of a best selling mystery novel that they want to be a part of) and they want answers

they become obsessed.

“dude were supposed to be studying for OWLs right now”

“IN A MINUTE BETHANY, I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE HEIR IS ACTUALLY FILCH”

the prefects dont do anything about it. in fact, they are quite invested

2nd years come in everyday with new information about harry

“OKOK HEAR ME OUT HE ‘ACCIDENTALLY’ PUT MILK BEFORE THE CHEERIOWLS AND WHEN WE CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT IT HE SAID HE WAS TIRED—

“but he could be tired from quidditch practice, wood is a bloody maniac about—

“MAYBE HE WAS OUT LATE KILLING PEOPLE”

some ravenclaws will get up in the middle of the night just to reorganize the board

“for merlins sake, USE THE BLUE MARKER PEOPLE! IT RUINS THE WHOLE AESTHETIC”

the yarn used has glitter in it and they charmed it to be glow in the dark

yes, they braided it into their hair

one evening a couple of kids come bursting in

“whats the matter?”

silence all around, the attention is on them

they get parchment. the crayola scented blue marker. the glitter yarn.

a couple seconds later they present the new information on the board

POTTER IS A PARSELMOUTH

SLYTHERIN’S EMBLEMATIC ANIMAL IS A SNAKE

SALAZAR WAS ALSO A PARSELMOUTH

“its official lads...” *drops marker*

common room freaks out

“OKAY MAYBE SLYTHERIN WONT COME AFTER US RIGHT??? I MEAN WE GET ALONG WELL”

“BUT POTTERS A GRYFFINDOR HOW WHY”

“b-but hes the boy wh-who defeated— oh no” *rocks back and forth in a corner

“LETS ALL JUST CHILL OUT ALRIGHT?? SHOULD WE TELL FLITWICK?”

“AND SNITCH?? WHEN DID WE TURN OUR BACKS ON WHO WE ARE”

“PEOPLE ARE DYING BETHANY”

flitwick finds out anyway and hes visually concerned

but also impressed... so he fills them in with more information

they relax, because when you think about it potter just has the worst luck in the entire world

they keep the drawing board and they would just stare at it. admire its beauty.

the ravenclaw purebloods and halfbloods make jokes now about the heir

“literally fml, i have no clue on how to do a protean charm and we have the practical tomorrowww can the heir just kill me already?”

muggleborn ravenclaws have to knock on wood everytime they try to joke

oliver isnt happy about this

another great day! classes are canceled, im kind of hungry right now maybe i can convince abbott to tell me where the— OH FUCK THERES A BODY AND A GHOST A BODY AND A GHOST

they dash to the common room and bring out the board

“were gonna need more yarn”

they seek help from madam pince asking questions “what kind of magic is involved that makes the petrified state only curable by a mandrake? when u petrify someone u can easily remove it with a finite...no no were trying to figure it out...madam pince please theres no need to get professor dumbledore involved—

all hell breaks loose when penelope clearwater gets petrified

“THAT DOES IT! ITS DEFINITELY A SLYTHERIN NO ONE IN SLYTHERINS BEEN PETRIFIED”

hagrid and dumbledore has left and the attacks have stopped...what the actual fu

they try to connect dumbledore and grindelwald to the attacks

some suspect draco malfoy, who seems awfully chipper about this whole thing

“malfoy? no way, takes some real serious wizard to do that stuff...he cant even transfigure the mouse into a pin cushion”

“what if hes faking that hes bad so no one would suspect him?”

they pick a fight with mcgonagoll when they find out exams are still going on

“PEOPLE ARE DYING MINER—im sorry professor mcgonagoll i didnt mean to shout”

OH NO THE GIRL WEASLEY DIED

“NO NO I AM DONE WITH THIS SCHOOL IM TRANSFERRING TO MAHOUTOKORO”

OH YES THE GIRL WEASLEY LIVED

DAMN POTTER SAVED HER?? lol no wonder she fancied him

instead of joining the party, they stay in the common room and try to piece everything together

some ravenclaws went out to ask harry questions but instead listened to ron who quite enjoyed the attention

they got the page, they got the story, and now were gonna a-beautiful-freaking-mind up in this bitch.
