c!tommy

Member of the Republic of L'manburg, he quickly soared in rank and instantly became Wilbur right hand man and a commander in the ranks.

Wilbur really favored him and this caused a bit resentment growing toward Tommy because the member viewed his rise as 'unfair'

Strenght-> 5 -Average Joe / idk i think he would be normal

Luck-> 1- 13 pitch-black cats/ ironically, being alive gotta count as 10 luck but no. He literally almost die 24/7 i think dead itself might be a sparing from the current predicament he's being ensnared in contstantly, so dead would be considered a luck in itself /jokes.

C!Wilbur

The leader of L'manburg, an incredibly charismatic guy who managed to band together a set of people that supports his goals.

Strenght-> 4 -Lightweight/ I think wilbur dont do much in term of doing the heavy stuff, he just order people to be doing those

LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 2, Wave 2, Poll 11

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.

Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.

Hermann Gottlieb-Pacific Rim

Qualifications/Propaganda:

He uses a cane and is commonly shipped with Newt Gieszler. One of the better parts of Pacific Rim. If drift compatible why not gay.

Wylan Van Eck-Six of Crows

Qualifications:

Wylan has dyslexia (heavily implied, but not outright said bc setting) and is gay,

Dyslexic and gay!

They are in a adorable m/m relationship, and also have severe dyslexia to the point that (when eight) he could not read or write despite formal education

Wylan is gay and dyslexic!

Propaganda:

Wylan and Jesper have the absolute cutest relationship. Also, Wylan has dyslexia. I don't think it was outright said, but that was heavily implied. It just couldn't be set out loud for the sake of maintaining the fantasy setting. He's such a good character, and is primarily known for his skill with explosives, not his struggles with reading and writing. The other protagonists also never judge him for it, and the only character who does is the kind of person 90% of readers want to kill by the end of the series.

His boyfriend Jesper helped him fake being able to read so they could beat Wylan's shitty dad.

- He's incredibly sweet - But can also be ok with murder sometimes, like when killing unconscious people wasn't good - so just wake them up. - He was thrown out of the house and his father tried to kill him, because of said dyslexia, but managed to survive. Then rebelled against his father and with the help of friends took down his empire - He is very talented at the flute. And can draw very well, along with being a great chemist and demolition experts (hired for making flash bombs and other cool shit-) - Helps break into a world-class prison, then blushes the entire time because the person he's pared with keeps flirting with him - Asks his (eventual boyfriend) if he's into guys. Then immediately gets flustered when Jesper picks it up - Is very rich heir (due to shenanigans) and there's a one-off line about this sweet bean kind of being a sugar daddy- (just gives his boyfriend money to do stocks with, to stop him from gambling) - Supports his boyfriend throughout his gambling addiction and tries to help him overcome it

Wylan is dyslexic and because of this written off as stupid by his father. However, he is actually a genius, especially with chemicals, and he uses his genius and his new band of misfit friends to take his father down and read him for filth in front of a whole bunch of important people. He is good at making things explode. He also nabs himself a hot boyfriend in the process so good for him!

The qualifications and propaganda paragraphs correspond, @wisheduponastar is the third submitter.

MAZE RUNNER HEADCANONS CAUSE I SAID SO. Anyways this is gonna end up leaning more towards Minewt/ Newtmas head canons but I want this to be ivy trio so bad so if you squint hard enough that’s what you’ll get. UH YEAH. Angst, fluff, random shit, it’ll probably be here. Also heads up this is MY head so you don’t need to agree dude. ENJOY !!

- In the glade Minho and Newt used to make fun of gally but all in good spirit until gally dragged Minho in the circle just to have his ass whooped

- Thomas and Minho like collecting shells and showing newt but one time they found one that reminded them of chuck, cried, showed newt, and made him cry too

- In the safe haven, when Thomas and Newt started flatting together people would constantly bring up the roommates trope and they wouldn’t get it all the way up until they started dating

- The ivy trio does movie night on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday

- Thomas tried the therapy thing where you write notes to people you dislike and set them on fire but everyone got the wrong idea and thought it was a bonfire. That’s how many letters he wrote.

- They started a band they called “Gladiators” but it’s pronounced “Glade-iators” and Minho thinks he’s a genius every time he corrects someone on it

- The band featured fry on the drums and Gally on the guitar, Minho sings, newt plays the bass, and Thomas knows how to fucking play the keyboard.

- Newt and Minho speak in a stupid made up language to confuse Thomas but Thomas learnt the “words” and confused them right back.

- Thomas will call newt stuff like: Babe, baby, dude, and bro

- Newt calls Thomas stuff like: Darling, love, dear, and sweet

- Minho and Brenda start dating and cringe at the sound of both (they call each other honey.)

- In the glade, when it was just newt and Minho up during bonfire nights they’d stargaze for about half an hour before cringing and leaving to sleep with an awkward hug

- Thomas and Minho shadow box each other to see who has to help set up bonfires and Thomas loses every time

- When the three of them had to put names on the tribute rock they all cried at the same intensity while carving Chucks name out

- Newt is a wet the brush and the paste kinda guy, Thomas does his dry, and Minho does his with just a wet brush

- Newt: socks and sandals. Thomas: sandals, no socks. Minho: just socks cause he can’t be fucked with sandals cause he fell while running once.

- Newt likes Caramelo Thomas like almond chocolate and Minho adores white chocolate

- When newt is sad but doesn’t want to do his sobbing to Thomas he’ll cry to Minho for hours as Thomas listens from the other room wondering if he’s still good enough for newt

- Thomas and Minho like eating dinner together when newt decides to eat dinner with his sister

- The first time Thomas and newt made out they were both shit faced so the only person who actually remembers it happening is Minho

- Sometimes when Minho thinks nothing is real newt is experiencing the worst sleep paralysis and Thomas is thinking about what he could’ve done to help everyone. Sometimes it all lines up and they can’t help each other.

- Newt has a fear of throwing up

- Minho hates mint more than life but will always take gum if offered it

- newt: Bloody hell! Minho: holy shuck faced idiot!! Thomas: FUCK!!!

- Newt likes his coffee with more milk than coffee and that only IF he’s drinking the stuff otherwise its tea, Thomas drinks his black and everyone hates it, and Minho is a cappuccino kinda guy

Okay I’ll shut up now whanau😭😭

All my love to you - Nevaya <33

[monsterblogging]

So I finally narrowed down on the reason why Newt's possession arc in Uprising is so damn weird and out-of-touch with the first movie.

So for anybody who doesn't already know, Guillermo del Toro is a huge nerd about occult stuff. He even gives his characters ruling planets and he considers filmmaking a form of alchemy.

He's also ex-Catholic, and highly critical of Catholicism, just as he is is critical of any form of authoritarian institution. (The Precursors were visually modeled on Catholic clergy, btw.)

Once you understand where del Toro is coming from, it's pretty obvious that Newt is functionally doing necromancy and coming in contact with a much bigger, meaner spirit than he anticipated. Very importantly, choosing to drift with a kaiju itself is morally neutral, it just happened to reveal something worse than anyone expected.

Uprising, however, introduces an extremely Christian template, one that you may have seen before if you were ever unfortunate enough to come across a little thing called a Chick tract. For those who don't know, Chick tracts are basically little Evangelical Christian propaganda comics. They are extremely hateful toward anyone who isn't an Evangelical Christian, and present anything that of Evangelical Christianity as the product of man's arrogance and/or demons. Anybody who strays from the Good and Righteous will have bad things happen to them, and demons may well be involved.

Where the first Pacific Rim is using a sort of Lovecraftian "it's all fun and games until you meet the elder god" sort of template combined with del Toro and Beacham's humanist optimism (we can kick the elder god in the ass if we stick together!), Uprising is using a conservative Christian "make a deal with the Devil for fame and fortune, get possessed by demons" template. Newt's now this important bigwig at Shao Industries - because he's been drifting with the demon-coded kaiju for ten years. (Sidenote, it also isn't not the "play with a Ouija board, get obsessed with demons" template, too.)

And uh. This little switcheroo? It's bad. It's very bad. It's bad because it transforms Pacific Rim from a story about humanity banding together to defy uncaring and cruel institutions and solve our big problems together into a reactionary narrative that defends and upholds those very institutions.

Kinktober Day 21

AND WE'RE BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME. It's that lovely time of the year where I write mediocre smut with no plot for a whole month. So sit your ass down and take a few minutes to read some smut.

As always, kinktober is held by our local Napoleon simp, @xxsycamore

If you'd like to read the last three years, go here

Remember to reblog and tell me what you think

Pegging  | Size Difference

Writers notes: we are gathered here today for our yearly tradition of pegging Isaac. First things first he is 100% getting fucked while in his little dress. That's really so you need to know.  Please enjoy.

~~

"This is embarrassing," Isaac grits his teeth.

"Aww, I think you look adorable," you fluff out the skirt.

"I look ridiculous!"

Isaac lost a bet with Arthur and Dazai and now he has to wear this frilly dress that they picked out for him. There was no way Isaac was going to win. All odds were against him.

"You're cute," you smile bright at him and fix some of the lace around the dress so it lays right. "I wouldn't mind bending you over and flipping up that skirt."

You look back up at his face and see that it is bright red from your comment.

"Now I really don't want them to see me!"

He tries pushing down the skirt you just fluffed out, wanting to make it any bit longer. You sigh and hold his hands.

"You're the one who made the bet with them. Seriously. I'm not sure why you keep agreeing on bets with them."

"They tricked me," he pouts.

"They always do."

There's no way you're smarter than Isaac. Isaac Newton. The man who invented calculus and physics, discovered gravity and whatever the hell else he managed to do.

You place a frilly headband on his head that matches the dress and then fluff out his hair. "There. So cute."

"Ugh...might as well get this over with. Stay here. I'll need help getting out of it."

You were going to go with him, but you do as he says and stay in his room while he goes down the hall.

You sit on his bed and not even a minute goes by before you hear yelling.

"Why Newt you look adorable!"

You laugh to yourself. You can see the look on Isaac's face right now. He's got to be bright red and super flustered.

You're a little jealous you aren't the only one who got to see him in that.

Isaac was gone longer than you expected, and probably longer than he expected. He comes into his room with a loud groan.

"Get this off me."

"Aww. But I want to look at you for a bit longer," you're admiring him in his little frilly dress, and how he looks so much smaller with a corset around his body.

Isaac walks over to you with a pout. "You're having dirty thoughts, aren't you," he pokes the middle of your forehead.

You're sure it's written all over your face. You are staring after all.

"Maybe a few," you move closer to the edge of the bed and pull him onto your lap. He doesn't argue about it, surprisingly. You fluff out the skirt to make it easier for him to sit and take the head band off of him.

"I don't see how you find this... cute."

"Because you're all flustered, and shy, and this corset really makes your waist look smaller,' you can't help but grab his waist when you say that, getting him to blush more.  "Plus you're simply cute."

You kiss him a few times until he finally starts kissing you back. Your hands relax on him, falling down to his hips.

With how your arms are, be doesn't have much of anywhere to put his arms other than over your shoulders. You start lifting up his skirt, grabbing his bare hips at first. Isaac lets out a small moan. You don't think he meant to but it let you know that you could keep going.

Your hands lower, grabbing his ass. His body jerks a little, whining into your mouth. He tenses up a little, knowing exactly what you're going to do, but clearly wanting it if he isn't pushing you away.

Giving him what he wants, you push a finger into him. That's when he breaks the kiss, moaning. His forehead rests on your shoulder while your finger teases him, barely giving any satisfaction.

"I think you belong in a little dress with as much as you like to take it."

"S-stop th-that."

He may like it, but he doesn't want to hear about it. Your finger goes deeper, getting him to yelp. As badly as you want I add another finger, any more than one and you need to get the lube, and at that point you might as well get the strap.

Your finger curls in him and his hips jerk. You can start to see a little tent being made under the skirt.

"Looks like someone is hard."

"D-don't look!"

Getting flustered his hands immediately come down to hide his boner, trying to get the skirt flat.

"I won't look at all if that means I can bend you over."

He's flushed, but you can already feel his legs shaking. You know he wants it, but he hates admitting it.

"Come on. Say it," you giggle lightly.

He keeps his head down, burying his face more into your neck. "P-please."

"Please what?"

He paused for a moment as if he's building up the courage to say it. "Please... Fuck m-me."

"Gladly," when he moves his head to get off your lap you kiss him.

He gets up feeling embarrassed, but you quickly get your clothes off. He tries to keep pushing the dress down.

"I hope you know I'm never wearing this again."

"That's why I need to take it all in now."

You go to him and kiss him roughly. "But are you sure you won't put it on again, just for me?"

"N-no!"

You laugh a little. "Maybe a little school girl outfit so I can still flip up a skirt."

"You're so perverted."

"I didn't hear a no," you kiss him again. "Turn around for me handsome."

As soon as he turns around you slap his ass. He yelps, not expecting that yet. You bend him over his desk and flip up the frilly skirt.

With two fingers covered in lube you start to stretch him. He holds so to the edge of the desk and moans. He adjusts his footing making sure he's not going to fall. You hold the skirt up so that he doesn't fall as your fingers do in and out of him, stretching him just enough.

Isaac bites his lip to hold back moans for now. He can't be too loud just yet. But once your fingers start to curl he can't help it. At this point you know all the spots he likes and how to get him the loudest.

Once it seems like enough you pull your hand back, and with lube on the strap you hold his hips to keep him still.

You watch the dildo disappear into him. Isaac moans through his teeth.

"You've gotten so good at taking me."

"Ungh. K-keep moving."

Yes, princess," you chuckle. Gripping both sides of his hips you start thrusting into him. He quickly relaxes, the pleasure taking over him.

Isaac grips the desk tighter and raises his ass up a little more. You thrust in a little deeper and hear his breathing hitch.

"You know. I'm a little upset that anyone else even got to see you," you lean down against his back to tell closer to his ear. Your thrusts are getting shorter but rougher.

"But oh how would I have loved to fuck you first and let you walk out there limping."

He moans as if he likes the idea.

"Cum and lube dripping down your legs, because I wouldn't clean you up. You would have had to hope no one noticed."

"Y-you wouldn't," he pants.

"Guess we'll never know," the hand that still has lube on it let's his hip go and moves under rhin to start rubbing his cock.

His hips buck into you, getting you to thrust into him harder.

"I hope you didn't plan on returning the dress," you're pretty sure that if there isn't already precum on it, then you will definitely be getting lube and cum on it.

The lube mixes with the precum, slicking up his cock, making it easier to handle and slide your hand across. Making a circle with your fingers, you wrap your hand around his shaft and tighten the circle and you rub him.

Your thrusts are slowing and his legs are starting to shake. Isaac is biting his tongue hard so that no one outside the room could hear him.

"Oh come on. Let me hear how good you feel."

You sit up so you're able to pull back more. The dildo is nearly pulled out before you thrust back into him, pushing him into his desk. Luckily nothing was laying on top, or else it would be all over the floor by now.

His panting gets heavier and his legs shake more, letting you know he's close. He finally lets his tongue go to moan when he cums, getting it all over the front of the skirt.

To help him get it all out you thrust a few more times before pulling out

He lays on the desk trying to catch his breath.

"Are you okay?" He seems to be having a harder time than usual to catch up.

"Get...get this damn cor-corset off me."

Small Maze Runner Headcannon:

• Newt is dyslexic

• Newt wanted to be a medjack but because of his dyslexia he couldn’t so he became a runner so he could still help his friends

• During the Scortch Minho, Thomas, and Newt all did one small braid in their hair to stay connected even when they weren’t talking

• Newt had his braid ripped out during a brawl in the Crank Palace which effected Minho a lot more when they found him

• Newt and Minho 100% shit talk Teresa and Gally

• Some stupid things Thomas does is on purpose so he can prove he’s not the actual leader because he doesn’t want the position taken from Minho

• If Newt survived to be in the safe haven he would write Keisha and Dante’s names on the rock so he wouldn’t forget about them 

• Of course Newt has freckles but Thomas has them too and they’re dark, mostly on his shoulders

• Minho has really faded scars around his wrists from when WCKD tortured him in the Fever Code and the ropes cut into his skin

• In the safe haven Minho and Thomas redid their braids, adding clay beads and a leather cord for Newt

• For the first month or so Thomas and Minho slept ether next to or against each other so they wouldn’t feel alone and so they could calm down from their nightmares easier

• Sonya didn’t get a mother figure like Newt did so her memories were never triggered into remembering him or her family

• In my fics Newt has a leather band around his left arm that acts like a rubber band for sh, it was something Albly gave him and it has little engravings on it that he carved into it (like compliments and affirmations but also little doodles)

The Smooth Newt with the Smooth Moves

Also known as the European newt, northern smooth newt, or common newt (Lissotriton vulgaris), the smooth newt is one of the most common species in Europe and western Asia. It is also the only newt species found in Ireland. There are currently three recognised subspecies distributed throughout this range, and four others have been reclassified as distinct species. The common newt is able to survive in a variety of habitats, including deciduous and coniferous forests, wetlands, meadows, parks, and gardens. Their only requirements are sufficient sunlight and water with sufficient vegetation.

Like most newts, the northern smooth newt spends the majority of its time foraging for food on land. Their diet is carnivorous, consisting of insects, worms, snails, slugs, and larvae. When available, L. vulgaris may also eat the eggs of its own species. In turn, many animals prey on the European newt, including waterbirds, snakes, frogs, and larger newts. To avoid these predators the smooth newt is active mainly at night, and will secrete a toxic mucus when threatened. While active, they are largely solitary but from October to March several individuals will hibernate together under logs or leaf litter burrows.

Almost as soon as the common newt emerges from hibernation, they begin migration to their breeding sites-- usually the ponds in which they spawned. Males undergo a dramatic transformation, growing large crests and becoming brightly colored. When a female enters the water, the male swims around her and sniffs her cloaca. He then vibrates his tail to fan his pheromones towards her. Finally, he will swim away and, if the female is interested, she will follow him. He then deposits a packet of sperm, or spermatophore, that the female picks up for fertilization. Rival males may try to lead the female towards their own spermatophores, and clutches of eggs often have multiple fathers.

Females deposit anywhere from 100 to 500 eggs, each of which is carefully wrapped in aquatic vegetation. Larvae hatch after only 20 days, and quickly begin developing. Unlike frogs and toads, newt larvae have external, feathery gills, and develop their front legs first. After about three months, the larvae absorb their gills and leave the water as newtlets or efts. However, when temperatures are particularly low and aquatic prey is abundant, some adults retain their gills and stay aquatic in a phenomenon known as paedomorphism. These adults are fully capable of sexual reproduction, and when moved to areas with a larger population will often metamorphose into terrestrial adults.

Adult smooth newts are rather small, reaching only 9–11 cm (3.5–4.3 in) and 0.3–5.2 g (0.011–0.183 oz). Males are slightly larger than females. The head and back are dark brown or olive, while the underside is much lighter. Both males and females have dark spots on their bellies, and males also sport a bright orange stripe. In the spring, the colors in males become more vivid and the spots grow larger. Males also develop a large yellow crest that runs from the head to the table, and is dotted with dark bands.

Conservation status: The IUCN has designated the European newt as Least Concern, as it is common over most of its range. Threats include habitat destruction and the introduction of invasive fish species.

Good Omens and Harry Potter crossover

I've seen quite a number of these in which Crowley and Aziraphale are professors

But consider:

1977

Crowley was standing outside of the local bookshop of an isolated Scottish village. The cocoa he had bought to surprise Aziraphale was growing cold in his hand. For the third time, he miracled it warm.

"What's taking him so long?" he complained aloud. He glanced through the window to see  Aziraphale still engaged in conversation with the owner. Crowley caught a glimpse of the angel's grin and quickly swivelled his head back 'round, his race red. Crowley was the first to figure out that demons could blush, although some argue it was Aziraphale.

His gaze wandered over the street, and a group of young adults, (or possibly teenagers; he wasn't very good at assuming age.) caught his eye. One in particular. In Crowley's opinion, the most well-dressed of the three of them.

The youth was incredibly pale, and his long black hair astonishingly contrasted this. He had tattoos practically plastered across his skin, and many of them depicted astrological symbols.

But what truly piqued Crowley's interest was his clothing (which differed greatly from his friends', they were much more academic casual.) He wore tattered jeans and a graphic T-shirt. Merchandise of a band led by a dear friend of Crowley's.

Crowley thought for a moment and decided anyone with such an interest must be worth having a chat with.He made his way across the cobblestone.

---

Sirius Orion Black was having a jolly good time. This was the fourth occasion in the self-proclaimed Marauders' seventh year in which they had successfully snuck out of Hogsmeade and into the nearest Muggle village.

He, James, and Peter were all standing on the street while Remus perused an antique shop. Sirius had opted for his favourite Muggle clothes, while the others had simply chosen to discard their robes.

The group had just finished discussing how to avoid Lily and Remus' NEWTS studying schedules when they were approached, quite out of the blue.

The man's hair was a red to rival Molly and Arthur's, though it was more fiery than real ginger. He wore sunglasses, despite the gloom of the day; and his clothes were all varying shades of black and grey.

He appeared to have a devilish look about him, with a hint of a smirk in his scowl - if that was possible. From afar, Sirius had taken him for a Muggle; but closer now, he was no longer certain. The feeling was hard to describe, other than an odd sensation to his presence.

"Erhm, hallo." the strange man greeted them with a timid wave. "Couldn't help but notice... Uhm..." He trailed off. He could have been staring into the distance, but it was impossible to tell with his sunglasses.

The Marauders exchanged glances and silently motioned for the man to continue.

He pointed at Sirius' chest.

"You like Queen?" he asked.

Sirius stiffened immediately. He'd been criticized on numerous occasions for his taste in Muggle music.

"Yeah, so?" he replied, agitated.

The man spread his hands in surrender.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Nothing like that," as if he could see straight through Sirirus' thoughts, "simply wanted to talk to a fellow fan." the man extended his hand congenially. "the name's Crowley."

"Thank GOD." James surged forward and seized Crowley's hand, making the man and his eyebrows jump. "Sirius will not stop talking our ears off. 'Queen this, Freddie that.' You saved us in the nick of time; we were on the brink of insanity."

"I-," Sirius scoffed, "I don't talk about it that much."

"That's true," Peter piped in, "sometimes he talks about Bowie!"

"Bowie's good, too!" Crowley added, nodding vigorously.

James patted Sirius' shoulder, 'See? You've made a friend!"

Sirius grinned and shoved James away, then nodded to Crowley.

"This is James and Peter. I'm Sirius."

"Yeah, I caught that; but what's your name?" Crowley said through a smirk.

"Ha, ha. You're a riot." Sirius rolled his eyes. "Just Crowley?"

"Ah, well. Anthony, if you like."

The bell jingled behind Sirius and he turned to see Remus walking out of the shop.

"Moony! You're finished!"

"Hey Pads," Remus walked up and gave Sirius a quick peck on the cheek before pulling him close.

"Oh, who's this?" Anthony asked; looking surprised, yet elated.

"Anthony, this is my boyfriend Remus. Moons, he came over to talk to me about Queen!"

"Is that so?" Remus shook his head and chuckled. "Anthony... Italian roots?"

"Ehrm..." he paused and shrugged, "Ssssure?"

The odd response raised eyebrows all around, but before they could ask further, another joined the party.

"Crowley? Is that you?"

This newcomer was the absolute polar opposite of Anthony. He had very cherubic features: bright fluffy hair, sparkling eyes, and a brilliant grin. He wore a well-loved and well-kept waistcoat, which looked a couple of decades old.

Upon seeing him, Anthony became flushed.

"Agh, hallo, angel. Got you this." Anthony handed him the cup he was holding, which was suddenly steaming.

"Cocoa? Oh, thank you, dear boy!"

Anthony growled and turned away. Sirius and Remus exchanged a knowing look.

"Sooo," Remus started, "you gonna introduce us, Anthony?"

"This is my...uhrm..." he looked lost, "This is Aziraphale." he finished quickly.

"I thought you didn't make friends," Aziraphale said slyly, peering up over the rim of his cup.

"Shut it." Crowley hissed, his face reminiscent of a cherry.

Sirius and Remus shared another glance and a chuckle.

"You two off, then?" James asked.

Aziraphale nodded. "Got to get these back to my shop in London," he replied, lifting the bag he carried.

"Fun meeting you lot," Crowley threw over his shoulder, suddenly feet away."

A pleasure!" Aziraphale shook everyone's hands before hurrying after Anthony, who hadn't halted sauntering away.

The Marauders waved after them.

"Bit of an odd pair, aren't they?" Peter remarked.

"Yeah, but a pair," Sirius replied.

James looked over. "You think so?"

"Definitely," Remus affirmed. "Let's head home."

THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG

I'll write more if people like it.

[foxglovecove]

could you draw hermann wearing one of newt’s band t-shirts 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 love ur art sm!!

Thank you! 🥰

I wasn’t quite sure if you wanted him in Black Velvet Rabbits tee or just one of Newt’s fav band tees…so…both! Both is good!

Newt feels some kinda way…especially cuz I’m sure he conveniently spilled science slop on Hermann and conveniently had some of his tees around as spares for dirty clothes :> Not planned at all, nope

[thedrarrylibrarian]

Hello librarian ! I really appreciate the work you and I was wondering if you could help me once again. Do you know of any 8th year fics where Harry is severely mental scared / suffers from a mental illness due to the traumatic events of his life ? Thank you sm for you help have a great day/night 🥰

Hello! Your holds have arrived!

I went ahead and opened this ask up to include any 8th year fics where Harry or Draco are struggling with mental health, PTSD, or trauma. If you enjoy these fics, be sure to check back next week for part two of this rec list!

Eighth year + Trauma

Who We Are At Night by @stargazing-enby (708 words, rated M)

“Just… hold me. Please. That’s what I need.”

Text Message by @drarrily-we-row-along (1,204 words, rated T)

The 8th Years get cellphones as part of their muggle studies class. Draco didn't really listen to the instructions, but was pretty sure he'd figured everything out.

What He Needed by @phoebe-delia (2,205 words, rated M)

Harry and Draco are tasked with fixing the Room of Requirement after the war—but one day, the door vanishes and they can't leave. Oh no! Whatever will happen when two former rivals-turned-awkward friends are stuck in a small space together for a night?

Tangled Up in Midnight Memories (and you) by @ronbinary (8,870 words, rated T)

In which Hogwarts brings in a Mind Healer they all desperately need, inter-house unity inspires socials, the eighth years turn socials into games of truth or dare (Thank you, Pansy), and dares turn Draco into Harry’s.

Golden Daffodils' Sea by @laudh8 (11,840 words, rated T)

The months after the Battle of Hogwarts are sunny and beautiful, even though it feels like the sky should be falling around Harry. He tries to get through grief while fixing Hogwarts, capture some Death Eaters, return to his last year of school and befriend one Draco Malfoy. However, he’ll have to realize grief is not the only thing he has to fight now that he came back from death.

Edificabo by DoubleApple(18,663 words, rated E)

Numb and exhausted after the war, Harry returns to the only real home he’s ever known. Hogwarts needs help, too.

Nice Things by aideomai (22,052 words, rated M)

The first thing that happened was Theodore Nott came back from France.

A Dented Old Street Sign by @orphanghost (27,425 words, rated M)

Draco knows they aren't the only students who will be completing their NEWTs this year, but they are the only ones whose home fireplaces were disconnected from the floo network by the ministry.

At least, Draco assumes as much until he sees the light falling out from the front door of one of the other rickety old houses in front of them and the three figures cast in its warm glow. For a moment they look like some sort of strange, many legged creature. An acromantula, or a particularly massive Blast-Ended Skrewt. Then Draco hears Pansy make a disgusted sound beside him and the light falls in a less blinding way, and Draco can see that it is actually Potter and the Weasel carrying a large couch between them, and Granger fluttering around them with her wand out, seeming concerned.

Two to Lie and One to Listen by @fluxweeed (84,562 words, rated E)

It’s weird when Hermione announces that she and Ron have broken up. It’s weirder when this is followed by the revelation that she’s already moved on—and the new object of her affections is Draco Malfoy.

Things only get worse from there.

where all veins meet by @saxamophone (146,114 words, rated E)

It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now? His friends try to help, but the only thing that can hold his attention—one of the only things that ever has—is Draco Malfoy, out on parole and weirdly hanging around the British Museum. As they keep running into each other, Harry sees that Malfoy is different, and he wonders if he can be someone else, too.

Featuring rumpled band shirts, poker games everyone hates, fumbling sex, and a Harry going a little mental over how wands even work.

❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️

Lots of Love and Happy Reading!
