What is this thing about trying to convince childfree people to have kids? Like the last thing I would say to somebody who says “I don’t want a dog,” is: “go adopt a dog.” You live your life, I’ll live mine. (I’m actually asking, why are people so invested in the reproductive choices of others?)

As a cat owner, nothing, NOTHING, will ever deserve the term “preen” more than one of my cats stretching and purring and- possibly- prancing around while being pet. So if I use this to describe a character’s reaction to something, I mean it, because that shit is precious. #writing #cats

An entire Care of Magical Creatures course existed at Hogwarts and nobody thought to mention: “hey, some of you might see skeletal horses pulling your carriages. But you aren’t insane.” No mental heath issues were ever created in that castle. Nope. #hp #fanfic #plotholes

Okay, when did asking writers to commission art for their fics become a thing? Is it a new thing, or just a new to me thing? Y’all, I’m not paying for something I didn’t ask for in the first place. I’m actually ok with a simple query, but let it go when you’re told “no.” #fanfiction #writing

Why am I so consistently good at killing plants? My husband has started steering me away from the garden sections in stores. Can I get a new talent?

Teddy Lupin’s first full name is Edward, not Theodore. Ted and Teddy are both nicknames for Edward. Sincerely, a woman who had a grandfather named Edward, and who chose to do a basic Google search. #hp #fanfic

It’s too early for this nonsense, but please stop trying to sell things that don’t belong to you. In this case I’m talking fandom things that should be free anyway. I’m so sick of reporting to various sites to protect myself. This is why a lot of us have just walked away. #fanfic #hp #fandom

My husband: why won’t the cats let me sleep? Also my husband: (aggressively moving his hand under the duvet until they pounce) Yep, no idea. No idea at all.

Have we lost our ability to distinguish fiction from reality? Because so much of our lives are virtual? IDK, but I’ve been getting a lot of reviews lately mad at the characters in my fics, but also saying that they’re not mad at me. Y’all, I wrote them that way, do you really not get that?

#Hansy It was common knowledge by now that Harry Potter did /not/ like his photo taken. He avoided the press like the plague, had even stopped going out without a disguise altogether, ...but Pansy had not expected his loathing of photographs to extend into his privet life. "Come on, Potter! -

Nobody has ever experienced betrayal the way my cat feels it when I sneak up on her to apply her flea medication. I’ll just be over here begging for forgiveness.

*checks notes* Fandom is for everyone ✅ Don’t like it, don’t read it ✅ Ship and let ship ✅ But also anyone who doesn’t like your favorite fictional character is a clown? Do I have that right? It’s okay to personally insult people for not sharing your love of a fictitious person? 🤔 🤔 🤔

Absolutely this, there’s so much out there you will enjoy and it’s a better use of your time to move on. Also, if it’s making you mad or uncomfortable enough that you’re tempted to be rude to the writer, it’s time to walk away. #fanfic

“Ugh Draco, why are you like this?” “Like what?” “So smug!” “Do you really want me to change, Granger?” He crowded her against her kitchen worktop, “or do you really want to stop pretending you don’t prefer me to be the man you fell in love with?” #dramione #hp #drabble

Some writers want to win awards. I would like to create and sell a TV show that inspires people to make 7+ minute compilation videos of two characters saying each other's names, or every single time those same two characters make eye contact. Or both. The highest honor.

I was going to finish this 3 years ago. I have no explanation.

“I don’t think I want to have kids!” Hermione blurted. “Ok,” Draco answered. “Ok? That’s it?” “Yes.” “But isn’t producing an heir supposed to be your sacred duty or something?” He cocked his head. “That applies to a lot of things I no longer believe in.” #fanfic #dramione #drabble

Very little surprises me, but I *am* surprised, shocked, bewildered, flabberfuckinggasted that our elected officials aren’t holding emergency press conferences right now. If we continue like this, we don’t continue…they get that right? RIGHT????!!

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Just a picture of my cat high as a kite because we brought our catnip plant inside to protect it from a late frost. You’re welcome.

They’re scared of him. How did we get to a place where we’re scared of the orange cuckoo bananas guy?

For those who need #AltText, quoting original bsky post:

Okay fellow fic writers, how do you feel about criticism? I’m okay with it but I’m also of the mind that the critic then opens themselves up to a discourse? I’ve been doing this for awhile and people are very divided on the issue. So, thoughts? #fanfic #hp

Me: time to get up to some “good trouble” and save democracy Me: *likes a few posts, makes tomato soup*

Okay I’m just going to put this here because I’ve gotten some interesting conversations about it elsewhere.

Is aggressively “making biscuits” a thing or am I just exceptionally talented at pissing my cat off? #cats

I’m late for WIPWednesday but just wanted to let you know that Calla is not forgotten!

Sorry y’all, I’ll stop posting about politics when my brain stops imploding … so unfortunately probably not anytime soon.

Which means the Democrats will just find a new, spectacular way to fail at it.

“I need to walk away before I say something I regret.” “Hermione-“ “No, Draco, you promised me you wouldn’t let your father interfere in our relationship.” “I’ve been working.” “At his demand. We can talk tomorrow, I can’t right now.” She refused to look back. #dramione #ficsnippet #hp

This is probably too much to ask because we can’t have nice things. But please learn the difference between capital and Capitol. We’re still allowed dictionaries, right?

New chapter on FFN and Ao3.

Ah damn it turns out this whole political system relies on false assumptions about how big of an asshole someone could be

My husband has a sticker phobia. I bought some pimple patches without thinking. But they work so well…

It’s totally normal to cry over my old Constitutional Law text, right?

>named Achilles >dies because an arrow pierced his achilles heel What kind of hack is writing this shit

WIP Wednesday #ficsnippet #dramione #hp

Draco grabbed her, spun her around and pressed her against the door. “When you live with psychopaths, you learn to sneak around. The rest of our training class has a bet going on about how fast they can get us thrown out, bonus for if they goad us into doing it to the other.” #dramione

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Sometimes it looks like scaling back your use of that company or app, or choosing the lesser of two evils. It's okay.

“Draco, we can’t.” “Why?” “Because your father would never accept me. And I will never accommodate his beliefs” “And that’s just it?” “How do you think it would work?” It was so silent that she could hear the snow falling around them, because he didn’t have an answer. #ficsnippet #dramione

Lost this one tonight for about 15 minutes… so we’ll not be leaving the house for at least 5-7 business days.

No animal thing is better than your cat missing a jump or tipping over the edge of a table and just eating shit. It’s like seeing a fancy butler slip on a banana peel.

CAT POEM Most cats have floof (including beneath) With fiercely sharp claws And pointy white teeth They push things off tables And like catnip treats They have cute li'l beans On their fuzzy small feets They barf on the rug And shred all your stuff But a cat in my lap? I can’t get enough

I’ve seen a lot lately about the screenwriters outdoing themselves again. But honestly, if you were crafting a fictional treatment of the demise of American democracy, you would have tried to make the characters a lot more plausible.

Well, it was a day. Any thoughts on an enemies to partners to lovers Dramione secret agent fic? I need to divert my brain.

It’s been 40 minutes since she had breakfast. (Also, these aren’t even her bowls) #ZeldaAgenda

I was looking for something to watch as background noise as I worked. HP was suggested so I hit play. I was surprised when I looked up and it was so dark, I assumed it was one of the Deathly Hallows. Nope, Goblet of Fire. Filmmakers saw something I didn’t as a kid- it was like rediscovering fanfic.
