"Why Didn't They Just Communicate?? They're So Stupid!" Have You Considered That Communicating With Someone

!!!

Hi i just wanted to tell u how much i love reading ur work !! I started with let’s play pretend and immediately apon finishing i stalked u for more and u were about halfway thru language lessons. I waited like a month to read and after finishing i still was not satiated of ur writing and went and read extra credit. N e ways i think ive read like 5 of ur fics now and i genuinely adore your writing so much. I read i put a spell on you the other night and it had me giggling in bed until i finished. Kindly requesting another little halloween themed B side for spooky season. Just wanted to let u know how much i appreciate ur writing and all ur characterizations of the marauders they literally never fail

Thank you so much that’s really sweet!

So my friend texted me on October 1 and said, “happy Alex season” while another friend sent me their annual text of “it’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers,” so we could each enjoy our reread of the greatest essay in the history of mankind.

Why? Because spooky season is when I COME THE FUCK ALIVE. It’s all Halloween all the time up in my mind but in October I can really let it out.

That said, this witch’s high holiday is a big deal in my life and I don’t have a single free night between now and Samhain. It’s all parties and shows and fuckery. So the odds of me pulling off a spooky season b-side are probably low. But I won’t rule it out!

Here are a couple other things to scratch that itch:

I published a (year late) second chapter for My Moony which includes a lot of Halloween stuff, including Remus in fishnets.

A podfic now exists for I Put a Spell on You thanks to @burningaurora with incredible cover art by @meteoralinart

Things that Go Boo by @theresthesnitch is a haunted house oneshot.

The Proctor House by @eyra is set in 19th century New England

Hallowed by @hihimissamericanbi is a Salem witch trials WIP

Anyone else, please feel free to drop your fave spooky season fics in the comments!!

reblog if you have skilled writer friends and you're damn proud of them

Today I’m thinking about how Harry loves people so much and has no idea how to communicate it. (Which is, frankly, a Huge Mood.)

This is clearest at times when Ron is feeling unloved, and Harry is baffled, hurt, and angry. How could Ron possibly feel unloved, when he’s the most important person in the world to Harry? And we’re sitting there reading thinking… yeah, okay, but how… would Ron know that? Have you ever, you know… done anything to indicate how much you care about Ron? You understand Ron can’t actually read your internal narration, right?

Part of what makes Hinny such a great couple is that Ginny seems to be… better at reading Harry’s feelings than most people. Like. We really have the impression that Harry can sit there and adore Ginny, and she can tell he adores her. (One of my favorite Hinny tropes is Ginny being Harry’s feelings coach… like, Ron comes back from Australia and Ginny nudges Harry like, “Tell him you missed him.” “What? Of course I missed him.” “Tell him anyway.”)

Anyway. Harry is very sweet and sad and I love him, I guess that’s the point of this post.

legitimately my first feminist awakening as a ten year old child was realizing that girls were expected to respect “boy stuff” but boys were never expected to respect “girl stuff”

What’s crazy is you can just meet someone and have no idea they’re going to change your life forever

older generations tend to disrespect people they perceive as inferior

younger generations tend to disrespect people they perceive as not having earned it

man i have GOT to do this thing. *doesnt do it*

hi!

I wrote a fic for @hpfemininomenonfest and it's been released!

Our Black Blood

The fic focuses on the Black sisters and answers why Bella attacked Frank and Alice Longbottom.

What if Bella attacked Frank and Alice, not because she wanted to bring Voldemort back, but because Narcissa finally felt safe enough to love Alice again?

“You will have always been a sister, even if you leave, even if you hate them, even if you don’t.”

🖤🖤🖤

Huge thanks to @middleagedenragedmama for doing a first fic with me - I can't believe we did it! (read her fic!)

and to @badhairred for supporting us both along the way 🖤 (and their fic too!)

Actually check out the whole collection because there are some amazing works there!

and thanks to all the mods for making it happen! @messrsrarchives @badhairred @radla @middleagedenragedmama @heartsoncover @lemonlans @starprongs
