Fun fact about Jily: of course they make sense, we don't know enough about the marauder's era to say otherwise!

Damn, Taylor described seasonal depression best when she said all her mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February.

My free time is spent lying on the couch doomscrolling while rich women yell at each other on TV. Zero enrichment lol

Is it too ambitious of me to make a writing goals chart? I'm so inconsistent so maybe? Maybe maybe...

I personally don't like TikTok because it's bad for my ADHD. I deleted the app for my own well-being and productivity. But that was my choice.

An entire government coming together and making a choice for an entire country to ban one social media platform is beyond fucked. It's terrifying. Their reasonings are disingenuous and, frankly, purchased. They can't even come together to deal with actual, tangible issues plaguing us, but the second a social media platform threatens the success of a few billionaires - banned. If someone has valid critique of said billionaires - banned.

Pace yourselves, it's going to be a long four years.

one of my worst writing sins is abusing my power to create compound words. i cannot write the sentence "The sun shone as bright as honey that afternoon." no. that's boring. "The sun was honey-bright that afternoon" however? yes. that sentence is dope as fuck. i do not care if "honey-bright" is a word in the english dictionary. i do not care if the sentence is grammatically correct. i will not change. i will not correct my erred ways. the laws of the english language are mine.

Kanan: They probably have the name "Caleb Dume" on some sort of list of Jedi so I've chosen a different name and am going to fight exclusively using a blaster

Cal: Hi my name is Cal Kestis, here's my social security number and by the way have you seen my lightsaber

and that's why they're best friends <3

The Ghosts of Our Fears

M-Rated

5 Chapters, 18,605 words

"How about a dance," James's voice poured into her ear like honey.

James's hand slid from her shoulder to her hand, holding it firmly so she couldn't escape— or go curse Slughorn, which had crossed her mortified mind as they walked to the dance floor. People parted for them, their curious glances slipping from her to James, handsome and confident as he stopped in front of her and formally offered his hand in invitation.

Lily was flushed with emotion: embarrassment from the obvious attention; longing for being close to James; pain from being close enough to see the tightness in his gestures, the distance in his gold flecked eyes. Her lip threatened to tremble, her heart thundered, and for a few fragile moments, her body refused to move. But she took his hand, felt him place his other around her waist, and let herself be carried off.

Or - at the end of the war five years ago, Lily Evans was a hollow shell of herself... So she left, without saying goodbye. Now she's back, amidst magical England's finest- and of course James Potter is up to something...
