#aaaaaa trying to get back into the groove of things

[starshapedspider]

when you get attached to the version of ur granddaughter that u were supposed to put in a loving and alive version of her family’s home

[melchinafan]

Oh yeah, same hat on post length. I try, but...I very easily get caught up in my rambles. Even on art posts, 'cause I like explaining the process or inspiration or the like. XD

Oof yeah, the way urge to create vs. no energy can clash sucks SO BAD. Fingers crossed your results come back positive, and you can find someone to help! (And that if they bizarrely don't somehow, that you can still find someone who will listen to "LOOK, whatever the cause, I am Struggling, and need help finding one (or more) thing(s) or another to make this suck less.") And ugh the bonus time blindness side effect from not knowing how long things will take resulting in being unable to start/do anything if there is something else scheduled for a specific time later. Because what if you get distracted and lose track of time, or get into a groove and don't wanna stop though I guess that's more the executives dysfunctioning, or asldfjs it sucks.

OOOOH YOU DRAW BOTH HIEI AND KURAMA SO PRETTY aaaaaa and Hiei's little pointy ears! I waffle back and forth between making them a little pointy or leaving them rounded but it's SUCH a great look. Ahaha and the way the cat ear headband puffs down the streaks in his hair, so cute. And the bloody grinning one, hell yeah, love it. Also agree with Kurama having your hairstyle when he hit that in-between stage, I had mine do that flippy thing too when it started growing past my shoulders, back when I had it that long. And yeah, you should be proud, even of stuff that's "just" sketches! Things don't have to be all big and finished and fancy to be fun and delightful to make/see I say, to both of us, because I know the phrase "perfect is the enemy of done," but following it is another beast entirely... And it doesn't matter how much relative screentime they got, Kurama loves his family so much he wrangled a magic cellphone that worked across dimensions in the frickin' 90s so yeah! They do deserve art!

I unfortunately don't have much recent YYH art, since I was in an art rut for a long while after high school, and what broke me out of it until I burned out again oops was my favorite video game, so it's. Kinda mostly stuff for that, plus some other fanart. ^^' But the (currently) third post in my art tag is Karasu, at least! (You might also like the Yami Bakura at the bottom of the first page? At the least, I'm pretty proud of the method/effect/lighting I did for it, and how his bloody grin turned out. >:D) I remember the drawing I was most proud of in high school had been Kurama based on some official art, which I added legs to (because it/the version I had cut off around the waist or so). At the time, I couldn't see anything outright wrong with it/how I could've done better, but I knew I would be able to someday...I really wanna find and redraw it, to see how much better I can do now! But alas, it hasn't turned up in any of the old (physical) art folders I've gone through yet. A few other YYH drawings did, though, if you wanna see some of my ooold stuff (from like...2005, haha).

Yeah, for knitting there's like...some stuff I have memorized now 'cause I've done 'em so much, but. I definitely double-check tutorials now and then to make sure I'm not doing things wrong. (Like I did when I first picked it back up, and was accidentally knitting through the back loop instead of normally...not a huge issue/difference, but still. Oops. XD) And AAAA THOSE ARE ALL SO COOL!! The first two seem absolutely on-brand for you/your two kins, hehe. The rose is so neat...it looks like it's done as one spiral, but had something about the construction that formed a wavy effect that imitates having a bunch of petals? So cool. oAo Love how nerdy most of the gifts you made are, too! Is the cube reinforced at all, or does the density of the yarn manage to help it keep shape? AND THE CAT PLUSH IS SO GOOD, WHAT A FUN BIG LITTLE CREATION, AND ITS YARN LOOKS SO SOFT. AND THE MACARON SOUNDS SO CUTE!! I love the sound of the alterations you've been doing, such excellent little bonus touches to make it that much more delightful!

I...am realizing I don't have very many photos of the things I've knitted. Or they're stuck in progress because I have particular ideas for how I want to finish them, but haven't figured out how to do that yet. I know when I first knit in high school, I probably started with a simple scarf and some dishcloths, as you do. I remember a neon-green easy-lace capelet that I gave to a friend after I realized I had uh...nothing that it matched to wear with. Also a tank top from a "here's all you need to knit [X]!" kit my mom got me. Then I stopped knitting until...*checks dates of folders* 2021, when I found someone who took crochet commissions to make a hood pattern for me, and they ended up with an extra skein left over, so. I figured I'd make some small accessories to match with it...all unfinished, but I've got some flowers planned, myself! For finished stuff...I've made a pair of green fingerless gloves (photographed in front of the dust cover I knitted for my tablet--first photo has better color accuracy, second shows off texture better). I'd swapped out regular rib knit on the cuff section for a funky zig-zag type that I liked better. I also made some red armwarmers, with a shifting cable situation I added to the back (that's supposed to branch from tiny, to medium, to wide, though the wide set is a bit flat). Currently I'm trying to design some bees, as anatomically accurate and at the smallest size that I can manage! (Pardon the inaccurate colors on them, I've been testing with some extra yarn so I don't mess up the yarn I plan to actually use. XD) I'll be using the stripe pattern on the left, and have since figured out a way to flatten the heads out for more accuracy. The current stage I'm on is trying to figure out the best way to get the legs to work! (Could I just attach a couple chains and call it good? Sure. OR I could spend days/weeks testing out combinations of chain + cord + methods of forming joints + figuring out a way to make it so the workers because I'm also designing drone and queen variants ahaha can have an anchor to embroider a full pollen basket onto their back legs...) I have...so many more ideas for things I wanna try to design, but. I'll get to them eventually. BEES FIRST

Perfectionism is...certainly making designing these bees take longer than it could. >_> But I like the results I'm landing on, soo...oh well. <.<' I find it slightly easier to break through the perfectionism block when it comes to drawing, by tricking my brain into making something deliberately "sketchy" (even if I end up overworking it past that stage asldfkjs). Post-it doodles are SO much easier to just...do, and finish, than if I try to draw on nice paper or pull out my tablet. In part 'cause the tiny size limits how much detail there can be, and in part because it's like...it enforces a "casual" feeling? So you're way less likely to run into the trap of "but I wanna make it NICE," because it's "just whatever" on purpose. But "just whatever" can still turn out pretty good. Ah, I hope you have the energy to get back to writing again soon, as well! The responses on your ask blog that I checked out were so thorough and thought-out! oAo (I also see that someone asked about demons' reproductive anatomy, and that tangentially reminded me that I have headcanoned that at least some demons have a crop like birds and insects do--because that makes more sense to me as far as where Yukina and Mukuro stored the hiruiseki long-term, rather than the stomach, where things go to get digested.) As for the lingering asks in your inbox, that is one of the wonderful things about text-based communication--so long as wherever it's written continues to exist, you can (generally) come back to it and respond at any time! I know that easy access to fast chat/messaging/texting/etc. has made some folks feel like they need to reply to everything now now now, but...unless it's an emergency, or otherwise time-sensitive, I don't feel like that should be the case. It's stressful, and for what? If you forgot what you were discussing, the messages are there to re-read. (I mean, it's more understandable to fret over if you're prone to forgetting about a message if you set it aside after reading it, and want to avoid that. But even then! It's still there, waiting just fine! And folks should be allowed the grace of "oh shit sorry I meant to reply and then forgot," because so many things can cause that. But maybe that stems from my propensity for the flip side of time blindness--where there can be days/months/years between communications, and yet they can be picked up as if no time had passed.)

DANGARANG I was gonna send you the clip I have saved of Yusuke getting rotated, but apparently videos aren't allowed in reblogs. Oh well. XD (I forget which episode it was, but it was in Chapter Black, after the group gets through the psychic trials and find out Genkai set it up.) But I love how you've adapted the phrase for frequent use, that sounds hilarious. :D And I dunno if it counts as a meme as such, but...well, I had been naming the screenshots I took while I watched through the series in descriptive ways (typically to sum up context but sometimes for comedy), and when Sensui did the "Hard Ki Gun" thing, I saved one shot as a baffled "MAN DOOR HAND GUN CAR DOOR WHAT" (though if I dropped the logical pairing of "hand gun," the utter shock of that scene would be better written as "man door hand hook car GUN")

I've had cats throughout my life, too! And yeah, the little mlem when he licks his arm is just. Peak cat behavior. But also his propensity for sleeping in trees, and being up high, and taking frequent naps (like when he went "fuck this I'm taking a nap wake me up when you're done" because he couldn't play video games so he couldn't do anything to help against Gamemaster) asldfjs there's SO MUCH it's so funny.

Asdlkfja and clasping hands dot meme (again) at needing more storage space for things that don't necessarily need to be saved...I record cutscenes when I play some video games, especially if they're unrepeatable, so uh. I do have several duplicates of given cutscenes, just 'cause I've got a bunch of different characters who went through them...so I absolutely feel you on wanting to keep them all. XD

ALSDKJFSA I GASPED OUT LOUD WHEN I CHECKED YOUR ICON EDITS you keep making Kurama SO PRETTY. I mean he always is but you TURNED IT UP TO ELEVEN. Also oh snap a collar when did that art happen, where's that sourced from? I don't think I've seen that one before. oAo He should get to have a collar more often, as a treat. And that official art where Hiei has one of the hiruiseki as an earring is just. SO GOOD. One of my favorites of him.

Oh oh I remembered earlier the other situation where Kurama went along with a plan to convince [someone] that [someone else] was dead. At the end of the Dark Tournament, when Kurabara was severely wounded while they were collectively fighting Toguro, he asked Kurama to act as if he had died, so that Yusuke would get pissed off enough to win. So TWICE it's specifically been Kuwabara asking Kurama to help him convince Yusuke that [someone] died. I am now convinced that the bit on the Dance Mix CD was absolutely a third instance of that plot between those two. XD (Hilariously, it's a prank that Bakura pulls with someone in YGO once, as well. So many little parallels he's got with Kurama, it's ridiculous. And no worries! Same hat on having a long list of things I'd like to watch eventually, but my brain just almost never being in the mood to watch things, even if it's otherwise bored...)

Oooh, yes please, I'd love a few choice song recommendations! I think another thing that might make my brain bounce off playlists is that it goes "stars too long, can't do it, not today"...even though I can and do listen to music while I do other things! So having just a handful should make it more agreeable. I think I generally also prefer rock, so I dunno if that helps narrow it down salkdjfa I guess I also like some ballads and folk music? Though that might sometimes be 'cause they lean towards being morbid or have rock vibes or are particularly catchy?? But whatever you think I should specifically check out would be good! (Maybe also if any of them have cellos? It's one of my favorite instruments oh to have the same vocal range. I was so sad when I checked through the Rasputina songs I have and none of them really stood out as potential recommendations, haha. Crunchy rock-style cello is SO FUN. I guess maaaaaybe Hunter's Kiss as like a tragic Kurahi AU sort of thing? But I'm just stretching feasibility as an excuse to recommend the band 'cause I love their sound, so it's probably not quite playlist-worthy. XD Maybe Transylvanian Concubine as a general recommendation/if you like vampires, just 'cause the rhythm of the song is fun to sing along with, and the lyrics are delightful with how the ending word of one line is the starting word of the next.)

I also totally get needing songs to hit Just Right to warrant being on a playlist hello perfectionism my old friend. I'm so glad you enjoyed some of my recommendations! :D (Awww that post about your specific aspec headcanons for how Hiei and Yukina are is so sweet! Poor goobers, trying so hard in their own ways. <3) Also agree that Turn Back the Clock is too specific to fit just right. It had come to mind based on vibes, but I went and listened to it after posting and was all hmmm yeah close but not quite. (Still good for inciting The Feels, just not really for anybody in YYH.) And I'll be sure to ping you if I happen to run across any more songs that fit the series! :3 (...I say, like it's some nebulous future thing when I eventually get back to listening to not-YYH CDs/tracks again...and then immediately go double-check the songs I've got from The Cranberries, just in case. XD 'Cause most of what I've got is sad and solemn so it seems like there shouldn't be anything, but part of my brain was INSISTING there must be something and OOOOH THE ICICLE MELTS, FOR RUI, MOURNING HIEI AND HINA AND BEING PISSED AT THE OTHER KOORIME...the only flaw to me is "read the paper" would be "I was fucking there" but UGH MY HEART. Oh wow, and maybe Dreaming My Dreams, as Youko to Shiori right after she saves him as a kid? With "your baby" from the first verse being "Shuiichi." ASdlfksj I am SO glad I double-checked, these are SOLID in my brain, and for such rare-to-feature characters!)

What a small 'net! I saw a reblog of your normalize post, & your avatar caught my eye. So I figured I'd peek at your blog in case you had more shiny stuff to see, & noticed you encourage folks tag you in Kurama & Hiei stuff. I pinned in the back of my head that, after checking out your stuff, I should ask if you want a link to skit translations from the Dance Mix CD—then saw YOU'RE the one who made the beautifully-organized Yu Yu Jukebox! That helped me figure out what CDs I wanted to buy! :D <3

yoo hell yeah!! im glad that helped you out!! its always nice to see the things i make can be useful :3 and nice that my kurama icon is catching the eye of fellow yyh fans hehe!

yu yu hakusho is a huuuge hyperfixation of mine, but my adhd has been making me struggle with focusing on doing the creative stuff i wanna do (like drawing and writing), so ive been instead doing a shit ton of other things revolving around yyh- like collecting the music and making the yu yu jukebox channel, ripping frames to post and organize them on my sideblog @reikai-records , and ive also been working on making a dialogue transcript for the dub (still unsure where to put it online when im done with that tho, atm i just have it on google docs, not too far on it)!

i cant remember if ive encountered translations for the skits of the dance mix cd though, id def love to see that!

[snickiebear]

yo nadia <3333 i'm bored in my online classes and u reblogged the questions thingy at the right time lmao, so get ready: 1, 4, 5, 9, 10, 17, 23, 24, 28, 30!!!, 34, 38, 39, 40 (the intimacy of being understood) (imma stop here lol) (also i'm sorry u're not feeling well, ily and hope u'll feel better soon!! <33333)

ELE ILY. (and thank you, i’m stayin home today cause,,, yeah. i appreciate you sm.) you’re the literal best, i adore you. 

1. How long ago did you start reading fanfiction? Writing fanfiction?

The first fanfiction i read was for The Lunar Chronicles when I was like 11?? and it was 100% on accident and it scarred me because it was a hardcore porn one with a period kink and i was like WHAT IS THIS??? OH MY GOD???? LMAOOOOO i didn’t pick it back up until i was 13-14 and really got into the Fairy Tail fandom. I still reread my favorites on ff.net cause i love them. 

As for writing, I wrote a horrible, terrible x-men fanfiction when I was twelve. (my friend still brings it up and REFUSES to delete it so it still gets comments and views, that shit HAUNTS ME ELE.) then tried again for Fairy Tail, posted like two chapters before taking it down cause i wasn’t really feeling it. And then I posted The Intimacy Of Being Understood and here we are. 

4. Link your three favorite fics right now.

OMGG okok 

@murd3rm1ttens ‘s The Problem How Time Works IF YOU HAVENT READ THIS YOU GUYS NEED TO HOP ON IT ASAP. MITTEN’S WRITING SO SO SO SO GOOD. SAKURA AND INO ARE TOTAL BADASSES. KAKASHI IS A SIMPPPP. ITS SO FUCKING GOOD. 

@mouseymightymarvellous ‘s We Were Screaming In Color (Only A Possibility) yes, yes I KNOW. i always point into mousey’s direction but i WILL always advocate that everyone reads her fics, they’re literally so beautiful???? i just happen to be rereading WWSIN rn 

@safelycapricious ‘s Shaking Up And Breaking Down series. I found this like?? idfk but i’ve been raving about it ever since. ALSO CHECK OUT THEIR FICS IN GENERAL. 

fuck i have more than three but also check out @ambivalens999 ‘s Masks

i do wanna make a fic rec thing where i just rav about my favs,,, might do that later or sum

5. What are your fanfic pet peeves? Do they have a huge effect on whether or not you decide to read something?

Omniscient third person. I don’t like it. Like I can understand that it can be a little hard to stay in one person’s perspective but, in my opinion, if you can, it shows how disciplined you are as a writer. Plus, i just get so confused when I go from A’s thoughts to suddenly what B is thinking about A. 

When writers use ‘ ‘ instead of “ “. When writers put thoughts in ‘ ‘ instead of just italicizing them. It’s small things but like they just bother me sO MUCH. most of the time i can ignore it and try to enjoy but other times i just dip. 

9. Tag 3 fic writers you think are underrated/unknown in the fandom/fanfiction community.

@espoir-et-reves !!!!! THEIR SHISAKU FICS ARE SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. And they have a warring states one going on THAT I AM SO OBSESSED WITH. 

@writer168 idk if they’re really “underrated” but THEY HAVE SUCH GREAT FICS ON AO3. Like theres an AU with sakura, kiba, and shino that i reread constantly because it just. is. so. fucking. GOOD. and they posted a new one that i’m YELLING about. 

@eggtoasties okay they only have 2 in the naruto fandom (one shisaku which is still ongoing) BUT THEIR WRITING STYLE IS SO NICE?? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I still go back and reread their shikasaku one cause UGH i can’t get enough. I love it. 

10. What’s your favorite fandom, pairing, or character to read fic for?

Fandoms: Naruto, Soul Eater, The Old Guard, ATLA

Parings: KakaSaku/ShikaSaku/ShiSaku/MultiSaku, SoMa, Joe X Nicky, Zukka

Character: SAKURA. I will read anything with Sakura as the main character and her being a fuckin badass or becoming a badass. I love her.

17. How obsessively do you sit and stare at your fic after you’ve just posted and wait for feedback?

aha.. haha.. well. I check my email like three times an hour. its the first thing i check in the mornings too. I’m literally a whore for praise and literally eat up feedback like its going out of style. I also reread a lot of my stuff because i make so many mistakes and spelling errors, or the spacing is weird oR SOMETHING. plus, literally any and all comments make my day, i go back and reread them cause they just make me feel so tingly and warm like “wow. this person enjoyed the fic/my writing enough to tell me. thats HUGE!”

23. What’s your absolute favorite trope to write?

Angry, feral, bloodied, morally gray women. They aren’t bad guys, they’re probably the good guy, but that doesn’t mean they cant be fucking raging at the world with raw knuckles and blood on their teeth. I just love an angry woman who struggles with her emotions and just has so much inner conflict but that doesn’t take away from her character or badassery, it adds to it. 

24. What’s a trope that you’d like to never hear about as long as you live, let alone write?

The fake dating or miscommunication troupe. LIKE GUYS JUST TALK. AND TELL EACH OTHER OMFG. the entire like obliviousness of “nah they dont like me” while the They holds their hand and kisses their cheek. MOFO WHAT. it makes me so impatient and like mad HAAHHAHA. its probably because i’m a pretty confrontational person so seeing stuff like that just “cmon bro, USE YO HEAD.”

28. How do you deal with writing pressure (ie: pressure to update, negative comments, deadlines, etc)?

I have yet to receive a negative comment! Which i was really surprised about tbh. As for deadlines or pressure to update, i just kind of do whatever. I do set goals, but i set them flexible enough that hey, if i can’t do it, that’s okay. 

I have a lot of mini goals, like “i want to write this chapter and get it done this week” and then the large goal is “FINISH BY END OF MAY” so i have time. 

Actually, now that I think on it, the entire pressure to update thing is probably why i’m waiting until I have all of OL&W written to post it weekly,, cause well. I wouldn’t wanna leave you guys waiting as I tried to write and work out the next chapters and stuff, you know?

30. Post a snippet from your current WIP without context - no more than 300 words.

AAAAAA YOU KNOW I LOVE THESE AHAHAHAH

Have you seen the way the dead dance, World Breaker? They roar, half mad and starving. Do you not wish, do you not hope to see them twist and bend and dance to your will?

Shikamaru snarls, looking behind his shoulders to where his Shadows lay. “Patience.” He spits. “Is of the essence, Things of Ancient. Know your place as the dark you are.”

34. How much of yourself and your life experiences do you put into your writing? What do you think your readers’ image of you is?

None of my experiences match up to anything I write tbh,,, probably the only thing that is me in my writing is maybe the emotional turmoil? I’m pretty emotionally and mentally mature because from a pretty young age i started forming my own opinions, started looking into the world around us and being like “dude what the fuck this is not what disney advertised”. Then i started talking (read: arguing and debating) with my dad about a lot of it. So, like emotions are kind of hard for me. Like i’m pretty good at controlling them or understanding them, but still. idk its hard to explain ig.

Like the weight of stress, the anger, the sadness. It’s kind of therapeutic to write. Cause i don’t know how to put those feelings to verbal words so writing them really helps. 

As for my readers’ image? Probably like some kind of hunched over figure typing away in the dark with a maniacal grin on their face. I honestly don’t know AHHAHAHA but it is fun to think about. I think they’d see me as someone with potential but a lot of room to grow and someone who is imperfect but in a charming way LMAOOOO

38. What does your writing process look like? How chaotic is it on a scale of 1 (very tame) to 10 (you can’t handle this kind of chaos)?

I’m gonna be real honest. Its probably like a 2. I’m a bit of a control freak so I almost always go in chronological order, my writing is pretty linear. Unless, i get bored and jump to one of my fav parts. It's pretty much i sit down, i open the doc, read over my notes and just start writing. 

It’s a little boring to explain AHAHAHA but once i get into the groove of things its really fucking great, I can like feel myself in the world, I can feel what i want the characters to, i love it. I catch myself mouthing the words as i type too, which i find hilarious.

39. What’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on?

I rather like how raw my writing is sometimes. Which might sound really vain, but i do like the way i word things or describe things. I love juxtaposition and repetition, or making a good ole circle back to some minute detail that wouldn’t stand out until i repeat it at the end and you’re like “omg” AHAHAHAHA.

Like those little poetic snippets or certain wording i just sit back and go “damn thats kinda good nadia! go you!’ HAHAHA  

40. How did you come up with the idea for The Intimacy Of Being Understood?

AAAAA this fic is like my first child, my pride and joy LMAO

so the idea initially came when i was reading some fic, idk if it was even naruto, but i was like “i don't like this, but i do like the rain symbolism.” And I knew i wanted to write something kind of slow paced, something a little sad and angsty, but would show KakaSaku slowly but surely falling in love.

Idk if you’ve noticed but a lot of my fics, the pairings don’t change each other dramatically. They accept each other as they are and then they grow with together. Like that acceptance is something i just love writing, its so subtle, it isn’t something you declare. Its simply “I am going to love you. I am going to love you despite your flaws and faults. I am going to love you unconditionally because I know you, I understand you, and there is nothing you could do to drive me away.” 

The fic kind of wrote itself after that first scene. I kept going back to the rain, go being ghosts, and resurrection, and the small epiphanies one gets. I wanted to focus on each character’s growth with each other. They didn’t find light in life because of each other, but with each other. And i think that’s my favorite thing about that fic. 

I wanted something raw and real and just something beautiful. I’m actually really proud of it tbh. Would i go back and rewrite/edit it? Oh of course! I’d do that with every single one of my fics, but i’m not gonna cause i think its in its rawest form right now. :))))

ask me shit plz

[peachi-puff]

Hiiiii! I was wondering if you could please do a sev snape X Hufflepuff wife where she gets in a bit of an accident and when she wakes up she has temporary memory loss and when she sees sev, she starts telling him how nice his face and voice is and starts playing with his hair and then asks if he's got a gf or something and then is completely amazed when he tells her that he's her husband and it's just all cute and silly and fluffyyyyyy. Thanks!!! Xxxx

Aaaaaa I love snape so much!!! This is such a cute scenario. I hope you enjoy, I’m just now getting back into the groove of writing! Also, as the two are married, both of you are called Professor snape hahahaha

Fall was fast approaching at Hogwarts, and you and your husband sat together in the staff lounge planning your lessons. You were the head of hufflepuff and took turns teaching charms with Professor flitwick, while Severus was the head of Slytherin. An unlikely pairing, some might say, but nethertheless there was nothing but love between the two.

“Hmmm.. darling, do you remember that one Professor? The one who lied about all the things he did.. lockhart, wasn’t it?” You asked your husband, looking down at the lesson planning sheet in front of you. Severus scoffed, shooting a sideways glance at you. “Don’t remind me. Why are you thinking about that idiot?” He questioned. “Well, he did use the Forgetfulness charm and the more I think about it, maybe I should teach my fourth years that! I mean, it’d make for great practice! But maybe I should tweak it a bit? So it just erases small memories?”

Severus looked at you, this time with concern. “Y/N, no. I love you and all of your ideas, but not that one. Fourth years with a memory charm? And not to mention, you’ve never even tweaked a charm!” He said, becoming increasingly worried by the second. “Actually, sev, I have tweaked a charm.” You said proudly, raising your nose in the air. “It was my 6th year and I tweaked the light charm to give off green light with little sparkles!” Of course, you left out the part where it exploded soon afterwards and gave you second degree burns that took madam pomfrey 4 hours to completely heal. You weren’t a kid anymore though, and you were convinced you’d be able to succeed this time.

Just before your husband could reply, Professor flitwick entered the room. “Oho! Well if it isn’t Professor snape and Professor snape!” You giggled, still getting excited over the fact that the two of you shared the same last name. “Hello, Filius! Is the classroom ready for me to use now?” You asked. “Yes, indeed!” You leaned over and gave your husband a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll see you soon, love!” You said, right before talking with flitwick about possibly taking over one more class for him as he was getting older.

It took you half a class period to attempt to tweak the charm before you realized that the students were still waiting for you to begin. You stood up and began to explain your charm, even though it still wasn’t finished. “Umm... you! Come to the front please!” You pointed at one of your students. “As an example, this boy here... what’s your name? Hootyhoo? Got it. Hootyhoo will perform this charm on me to show you the effects.” You sat down in front of him, trying to ignore a growing panic as he slowly lifted his arm, pointed it at your head, and said the magic words.

Everything went black.

“Uuugh...” you groaned, rubbing your head. You slowly sat up, taking in the sight around you. “Where am I..?” You asked, slightly nervous. Just then, a tall man with shoulder length black hair walked into the room. You felt heat rise to your cheeks. You had never seen such a handsome man before.

“Are you alright?” He asked. “I-I yeah” you stuttered. The man took a seat next to you. “What happened? Poppy told me you were in here. I told you it was a bad ide-“ you immediately cut him off. “I’m sorry, but can I please have your name??” You whispered, almost choking on air. “Y-you have a really nice voice...” this time it was severus’s turn to choke on air. He stood up and tried to find the nurse. “Why can’t she/he remember me?” He said sternly. Madame Pomfrey gave an agitated sigh. “Professor, it was the work of some terribly put together charm. Her/his memories will be restored in 12 hours as long as she/he drinks this tea.” She handed him a steaming cup filled with a strange teal colored liquid.

He returned, disappointment etched on his face. “Your name?” You asked again. “Severus.” He replied shorty, feeling a bit sorry for his wife/husband. “Handsome name for a handsome man,” you winked, becoming more flirty. Severus gave a small smile and tried to make you take a sip of your drink. As he bent over, you just couldn’t help it. You quickly ruffled his hair. “It’s soooooo softttt oh my goodness!” You gushed, not noticing he was slightly blushing. You did this in the privacy of your own home of course, but there was something really sweet about not remembering him at all and still falling for him.

“Also, Severus,” you turned slowly to him. “Tell me, do you have a... you know... significant other?” He saw the glint of hope in your eyes and almost let out a chuckle. “I’m afraid I do.” He said. “Oh.. that’s a shame..” you whispered, disappointment in your face. “But you do too.” He said. “Oh.. really? Now I feel terrible.. why can’t I remember?” You asked. “Well, you tried to change up the forgetfulness charm. Your husband tried to warn you but...” he crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, trying not to smirk. “Oh... well I suppose I better talk to him. Severus, can you do me a favor and fetch my husband?” Still pretty disappointed that this beautiful man wasn’t yours. “Sure thing.” He said, amused, not moving an inch. It took you about 3 minutes to realize. “Oh. OH!” You gasped, feeling overjoyed. “YOU!!! YOURE MY HUSBAND?? OH GOODNESS!!!!! I AM THE LUCKIEST PERSON ALIVE!!!”

Severus actually began to laugh now and gently hug you. “No, no. That would be me.”

(Sorry for naming a random kid hootyhoo lmao)

Soooooo I heard you're gonna write a thing! I'm so excited! Your writing is amazing. Are you gonna upload it?

Aaaaaa thank you so much!!!!  Yes I definitely will once it’s finished!  I don’t expect it to be more than a little one-shot thing.  I’m trying to give myself a simple idea to go with just to help me get back in the writing groove. Heh, but then again who knows. I didn’t think Hospital would be more than a quick little one shot thing either.  I’m not very good at staying super short.  Anyway though, I hope it’s enjoyable to read.  I’m working on it right now so if I’m lucky, it’ll be done today too.
