What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭
So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.
With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.
Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.
But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

Crossover Crackships I ship based solely on obscure merch!
Anna x Mayor Lionheart
So, I reblogged this serendipitous gift of a crackship a while ago and promised myself to make a moodboard or a collage out of it, but I totally forgot. I recently rediscovered this when I was going through the “Anna” tag on my blog and decided to actually go retweet this hilarious post on my Twitter.
When I retweeted the post, I saw that someone actually drew fan art of it in the comments and called it their OTP. And in that moment, I knew that I was prepared to ship them harder than ever before. lol
A tale as old as time~
LINK TO TWEET - I got a Beauty and the Beast gift from my mom that she put together herself!
Tinker Bell x Stitch
So, I found this random Tumblr post of someone sharing their Phantom Manor pins, and I found something particularly interesting about them. The pins have cast Tinker Bell as Melanie Ravenswood, the bride of Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris, and Stitch as Jake the Foreman, Melanie's ill-fated fiancé. And yes, the pins also have Stitch cast as the Phantom, aka Henry Ravenswood Melanie's cruel father (but we're going to ignore that part).
The thing that got me hooked was the pin where Tinker Bell and Stitch are sitting together, arms linked, on a picnic date. I know, call me “weird” or whatever you'd like, but I thought it was really cute and wholesome for some reason, despite knowing what actually happens to Melanie and Jake on that picnic date.
Here are the best photos I could find of the Phantom Manor stretching portraits for more clarity and context.
I would like to end this by saying that Stitch seems to have a thing for Disney ladies, so could you blame me?

BEHOLD, A FERAL BABY CHILD.
I was talking about an AU where my insert met Varian as Lo'gosh back when Onyxia split him into two people. And then the concept of "Yeah, this is Varian's kid, but SPECIFICALLY Lo'gosh's" popped into my mind and then this kid pretty much made herself.
Her name is Altalune and she is just so fucking feral. She's off the rails but very kind. Absolutely not heir to the throne material, but she doesn't really care because that sounds boring anyway.

shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. then copy/paste this ask to your mutuals ❤️ (only if you want to, of course!)
hmmm my favourite playlist is my mothman one which i think we all know what would be on there- so i'm going with a ship playlist that I've been listening to a lot lately!
Maren Morris - The Bones
Call it dumb luck, but baby, you and I
Can't even mess it up, although we both try
No, it don't always go the way we planned it
But the wolves came and went and we're still standing
Isaac Dunbar - Intimate Moments
And I might cry but I'll never show it
Can't let you down, can't let you down
I have a fear of intimate moments
If you're around, why am I down?
Halsey - Garden
He said, "I really don't care if you cut your hair
And I really wouldn't mind if we don't go anywhere
Cause I've got you, yeah, I've got you now
I've got you"
Bishop Briggs - Dream
They say that secrets make you sick and I should know
Just promise me that if I tell you you won't go
I wanna wake up where your love is
'Cause your love is always waking mine
I wanna break down where your heart gets
So torn it's almost breaking mine
I wanna lay here, lost and bitter
So long, I feel like I could die
I wanna tell you what my truth is
But it's buried down inside
Chriz Renzema - How To Be Yours
You say that you love me
Don't say that you love me
'Cause I don't know how to be yours
You say that you want me
Don't say that you want me
'Cause I don't know how to be yours

For the prompts Tigerclaw X Lionheart?
Tigerclaw ships <3
"Don't do this. If not for the Clan, then for me."
"Those kits can be just as much yours as mine, if you want them to be."
"You think you're the strongest warrior in the forest? I think you're the fluffiest furball. We can't both be right."
"I'd want you as my deputy."
"Stop and think for one heartbeat: would I ever put my heart before my Clan? Of course not." "But you're tempted."
"I wouldn't want you to get hurt."

Hi! I'm so glad you're back and ok. I almost cried lol. I don't even care so much about the updates, just glad to know you're fine.
I think of this fic every time when King and Lionheart comes on shuffle. I was listening to ot today and I randomly came to check up on the fic, and was so happy to see 2 chapters posted.
I hope your health/misc stuff is getting better, and I hope you continue to feel better.
Thank you! You're very sweet, and the outpouring of consideration for my health has been so touching. That's a great (and iconic) banger of a song, and it's an honor to be your first thought when you hear it.

azure and wukong for the ship bingo!
Honestly I love this ship, especially set pre-fighting the jade emperor. Wukong at this point doesn't understand romantic feelings. Azure has a huge crush. Both sure are a little gay for each other

Leon and Sonia : ]
lionheartshipping my best friend…
theyre so sweet. i love them both within the story and their history just as it’s own romance story tbh? like thats a tv show i’d watch.
i think the story of sonia being better at battling before leon overtook her and then they drifted apart before coming together again because of the events of swsh. theyre very cozy to me :> i usually go back and forth between it and aquaheart + truerival, it usuallt just depends on what the narrative im writing calls for
