Poor Jessamyn 😂 why did they have to make her brother so ugly in blonde?

Not only that, but to see Merula's giddy a$$ in the background at the two of them duelling -

which was the saddest duel ever. Jessamyn finished him off with two spells, and he's all "Wow you've come a long way," and Jessamyn’s just thinking, "And you haven't." Hahahaha.

The Hungarian Horntail from that TLSQ with Bill was ten times harder than this man.

I finally got the tattoo I've been meaning to get, and my tattoo artist did a brilliant job bringing my vision to life 🥰

When writing Melody Riddle and the Order of the Phoenix, I had to come up with her mark as well as a way of communicating with her own followers.

Since Voldemort uses the Dark Mark as a tattoo, I decided to make Melody different. She has a bracelet, meanwhile her followers possess matching rings. Yes, I know it's ironic that I get a tattoo to memorialize it 😂

Originally, the tattoo would've been in the form of a bracelet or a ring, but the bracelet would've been too expensive and the ring wouldn't have been able to showcase the detail I wanted.

Anyway, the eye at the center is the charm / gem at the center of the bracelet / rings. The center of the eye is the shadow of a cobra. 🤩

Oookay, anyone can join in as they desire - here is Abigail Grandshaw. And since I'm not exactly sure where her story goes just yet, I've given her a portrait with Ominis. 🥰 Her hair is supposed to be white, but the color scheme made it slightly difficult 😅

Let's play another one!

Hogtober 2023 ! October is just around the corner, and October means Inktober! Some of us are no strangers to this annual challenge, but for those of you who don't know, let me explain.

Inktober is a challenge for artists, based on a list that the organiser announces in advance. A word is given each day. The aim is very simple: to create something related to this word and so on for the other days.

For this occasion, I wanted to create my own Inktober list: The Hogtober, entirely devoted to the world of Hogwarts Legacy. Of course, this challenge isn't just for artists. Anyone who writes fan fiction, works on videos, AI audios and much more is welcome! Rest assured: you don't have to follow the list. If one or more words interest you, feel free to work on them in particular 🙂

The main aim is to have fun and share our creations in a world we love! To do this, I invite you to share the list around you and use the hashtag #hogtober to show off everything you've done!

I've seen this too many times not to reblog it 😂🤣 I love it

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince I love this scene.

[fantasywriter19]

Pffft hahaha ha

Y/n: If I die first, promise to wait for me, okay, Tom?

Tom: Oh, Y/n. When I die, I’m taking you with me.

Y/n: I can’t tell if that’s a threat or a compliment.

Tom: I’d think of it more as a grim inevitability.

[fantasywriter19]

I have GOT to make this one day

[fantasywriter19]

I so forgot this was what the original meme came from ����🤣 my memory's been replenished if only briefly

[fantasywriter19]

I knew I was different.

I knew I was special.

Always

I knew there was something

Still obsessed with Arthur Conan Doyle’s letter to Bram Stoker gushing about how wonderful a book Dracula is, but particularly how it makes such a good template for leaving fic comments, so I’m gonna to a BREAKDOWN:

Just say you loved reading it - “I am sure that you will not think it an impertinence if I write to tell you how very much I have enjoyed reading Dracula.”

Comment on a detail of the craft or structure that impressed you - “It is really wonderful how with so much exciting interest over so long a book there is never an anticlimax.“

Comment on how it emotionally affected you - “It holds you from the very start and grows more and more engrossing until it is quite painfully vivid.”

SHARE YOUR BLORBO FEELINGS - “The old Professor is most excellent and so are the two girls.”

Show appreciation for them as an author - “I congratulate you with all my heart for having written so fine a book.”

Next time you don’t know what to say on a fic you enjoyed, just use the ACD method~

I'm so dead 😂🤣😂🤣 why is this the epitome of Melody's relationship with Ron? He already doesn't like her, but she just has to mess with him. Bahahahaha

Y/n: If I die, donate my body to science for research.

Draco: Okay…

Y/n: Except my middle finger. Send that to Ron.

Ron: Hey-

Draco: Done.

Ron: Hey!

What does it say about me when the first thing I saw out of all this was the skeleton talking about 'steal shit'

what are you doing the next full moon?

[fantasywriter19]

I love how Magic Awakened included this bit from Hogwarts Legacy about Black being a prat 😂🤣 it includes all the storylines together so funnily, and yet these kids here just breeze past that passage like it's nothing (besides for Victoria's eyes widening here as she reads it aloud). I'd've had to stop to laugh a moment that it was written into a Quidditch history book by a disgruntled student.

Late Victorian British Fun (and not-so-fun) Facts

I thought others might be interested in my list of little things I've learned while researching the 1890s for my fics. This is by no means a list of things you should do when writing! Even I don't follow absolutely every single thing—I like to think wizarding society deviated quite a bit from muggle society, after all. If you wanna use this list as a reference, go ahead, but you should write whatever makes you happy. This is just for fun, and I'll probably end up writing down more stuff as I remember it—this is all just the stuff I could think of from the top of my head. :)

Basics

The Victorian Era was from 1837 to 1901. The era before was called the Regency Era (think Jane Austen) and the era after was the Edwardian Era (think Downton Abbey).

Love and Marriage

Even though the marriage age was lowered significantly in 1823, most girls still got married between ages 18 and 23.

The social season refers to the summer months from May to August in which the middle and upper classes left their country homes and stayed in London to attend social events, following the royal family. The main purpose was finding someone to marry.

Courtship, the part of a relationship that was most like dating today, only lasted a few months before progressing to being engaged. But it was common for engagement to last much longer. Dating as we know it today wasn't really a thing until after 1900.

Courtship "dates" that weren't in public often consisted of dinner at the woman's house with her parents (private time between the couple was sometimes afforded after dinners).

There was a paradigm shift in attitudes towards marriage; marrying for love became much more common in this era. But marriages were still pragmatic, too! Marriages based purely on love while ignoring the economic and practical aspects were scandalous.

Queen Victoria popularized white wedding dresses as we know them today.

It wasn't until the late Victorian Era that evening weddings became acceptable.

Snakes were a popular motif for engagement rings in the Victorian Era.

Pregnancy and Children

Victorian women were expected to hide all signs of their pregnancy, as it would imply participation in the act required for pregnancy (yeah, lol).

Husbands weren't allowed to be around for the actual act of childbirth, and it was advised he only stay around for 5 minutes afterward.

Anesthesia was first administered in the mid-1800s.

Fathers were often very involved in their children's lives, contrary to popular opinion.

Teenagers haven't changed much since the Victorian Era—our MCs weren't the only troublemakers. :)

Clothing, Personal Care and Fashion

Eyebrows came in all shapes and sizes; no one style appears to have been particularly coveted. The only exception was an aversion to unibrows.

Natural beauty was the name of the Victorian game. As such, makeup was very un-virtuous and was reserved for prostitutes and actors.

That doesn't mean people didn't use any products, however! Salves for the lips, as well as powders and rouges, started becoming popular towards the end of the era.

Perfumes and colognes were kept subtle, but floral scents were very popular amongst both men and women. Again, emphasizing the natural state of the body was seen as very virtuous.

Shapewear was just as popular back then as it is today. Adding or taking away layers of women's undergarments depended on the effect one wanted to have.

Men's undergarments were much simpler, usually consisting of cotton drawers and a long-sleeved undershirt.

Shorter skirts were appropriate for young girls, but as a girl got older, her skirts generally got longer.

School was still relatively uncommon for girls through the end of the era, but school uniforms for girls generally included aprons to protect their clothes.

Very long hair was desirable for Victorian women and was considered very feminine, but wearing that hair loose was not respectable. Bangs (fringes) weren't very popular.

The 1890s introduced the Gibson Girl look that would carry through the Edwardian Era.

Women wearing trousers was not as uncommon as one might think!

Bathing at least once a day was considered essential, but showering was not yet a thing.

Games, Leisure and Sports

Parlour games were very popular with adults at parties. Charades was an especially prevalent game.

Board games were also very popular for both children and adults.

Football (not American football!) became very popular in the Victorian Era amongst men. Croquet was the game of choice for women.

Cemeteries were popular picnicking spots and were more like sculpture gardens than grim reminders of death.

Food and Cooking

Honestly just go watch English Heritage's Victorian videos for an idea of the recipes and foods that were common back then lol. Mrs. Crocombe is a gem.

Breakfast was often a major event for wealthy Victorian Britons.

Ok that's all I can think of for now. I'm sure there's way more I'm missing. If I can come up with enough, I'll do another post at some point lol. Enjoy!
