A lot of inspiration from other artist and tumblr folks…I hope I haven’t crossed any lines here (let me know if I have pls). I’ve really enjoyed drawing again over these past few weeks, I’m new to tumblr and I needed some inspiration for some new drawings. So:

Honestly, I love elenianz style, I hope they don’t mind I was inspired and mimicked their look a little.

Hi ❤️

I would just like to tell you how incredible your writing is.

I've just finished Brighter than bright and Im so obssesed with it, it's incredible.

Plase never abond it, it's the best omegaverse story I ever read. Can't wait for another chapter, I hope you don't let us wait too long with this cliffhanger 😄 I need to know what is in the Harry' letter ❤️

Thank you so much! ☺️ I saw your comments!!

I have absolutely no intention of abandoning BTB. I adore this fic. There was a very long hiatus before this last chapter came out, because I was putting so much pressure on myself and couldn’t focus enough to let the words flow. I’ve managed to get through it with a lot of effort and by changing my relationship with writing, but still I don’t know when next chapter will come. I’m trying to follow inspiration and there’s so much to write!!!

But! Next chapter will come. And Harry’s reply will be in it. And I’ll even give you a little extra info here: next chapter will be 100% epistolary, told entirely through letters sent to and from Harry and Sev!! I’m very excited to get started! But also letters are HARD! 🤣

Thank you so so much for reading and commenting and for finding me here. 💞

Cake.

Harry in Severus' sweater for Infraction again ɷ◡ɷ (I'd ask Severus how it happened he has this photo, because Harry never saw him doing any.)

An underrated Sirius moment in Goblet of Fire where Sirius lets Harry talk and talk, and Harry lets out everything he's been holding in since he became an unwilling Triwizard Tournament champion.

For the last goddamn time...

"Kill your darlings" means "if something is holding you back, get rid of it, even if it sounds pretty."

That's it! That's all it means! It means if you're stuck and stalled out on your story and you could fix the whole block by removing something but you're avoiding removing that thing because it's good, you remove that thing. That's the darling.

It does NOT mean

That you have to get rid of your self-indulgent writing

That you should delete something just because you like it (?wtf?)

That you need to kill off characters (??? what)

That you have to pare your story down to the absolute bare bones

That you have to delete anything whatsoever if you don't want to

The POINT is that you STOP FEELING GUILTY for throwing out good writing that isn't SERVING THE STORY.

The POINT is that you don't get so HUNG UP on the details that you lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

Good grief....

As much as I like Alan Rickman as an actor and his portrayal of that stoic, restrained, and cold Snape in the movies, I don't love Snape because of Alan Rickman. The Snape I like the most is not the cold and super controlled one from the films; it's the one from the books, the one who behaves like an abusive child in front of other kids, lowering himself to the level of teenagers while he's 30 years old. He's the one who throws out sassy comments worthy of the top mean girls at the most unexpected moments. He's the one who suddenly goes from zero to a hundred because something triggers him and he completely loses his composure, because no matter how good an Occlumens he is, he can't keep it together when it comes to things that touch his inner child. He's the Snape who needs therapy, and it's clear that he does, and he's a resentful person who doesn't forget and, deep down, is a diva. And if people really can't understand why this Snape is the one that most of us like, then they don't understand anything.
