hello! I wanted you to know that I absolutely love your stories and I find them delightful. See ing as your requests are open may I request a continuation of the bitty space wolf or the Dark Angel who is hunting down his human! Both of those stories were left on a wonderful cliff a hanger! I would love to see what happens next for both of them. Though I think them just having an ‘oh shit, I caught her now what??!?’ Moment would be hilarious.

either way your stories are amazing and I hope you have a great day!

𝕬𝖚𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖗: Hello there, little admirer! I’m glad you love my story’s and find them delightful! It’s boosts my confidence, inspiration, and creativity to post more of what I wright.

Yes, you may request more of the bitty Space Wolf Lycus and Ruslan the Dark Angel. They are a continued story that I plan to make longer. I sadly, never had gotten to them yet, but I will don’t worry! This also concludes the story’s with my Blood Angel Amadeus, World Eater Spartak, the Custodes, and Salamander Dorvenos.

Lycus and Ruslan definitely will have that “Oh sh*t, what do I do now?” Moment because they just don’t know what to-do. Sure, they’ve seen other bondeds and Space Marines taking care of one another, but it doesn’t mean they know how to handle a bonded themselves. Do they provide for their bonded? Do they follow their bonded everywhere? Do they cuddle their bonded?

F*ck it, they are going to cuddle you whether you like it out not! He is the bigger one here, who dares to say no? That’s when you throw a solid object at him, like a skillet or something because he made you late multiple times. Did that work well on your end? No, no it did not. You got grounded and smothered.

Though, they certainty know they should protect their bonded. They know how cruel worlds could be, what makes this one any different? They must protect you from the evil that surrounds you, including your family, enemies, friends. Anybody that poses as a singular threat.

So, to end this little rant off. I hope your pillow is cold for a better sleep. That your socks are dry and cozy. That your future days are to your liking. That you get paid a little extra or find a lucky penny. That you find that pot of lucky charms at the end of the rainbow as you and the rest of the little admirers boost me to write more and don’t think I don’t see you, I do. I see who you’re gonna thirst love over.

Anyways, this means a lot to me and I hope that you little admirers inspire me to make more. It warms me lil’ heart that people like my crazy creations whether it would be good or not and as always, I thank you for your kindness and patience. It’s very admirable and appreciated.

𝕿𝖆𝖌𝖌𝖊𝖉/𝕴𝖓𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓: @kit-williams, @egrets-not-regrets, @gallifreyianrosearkytiorsusan. This includes you too @barn-anon, and @bispecsual and believe it or not @moodymisty.

magic anon: penny is now also acutely aware of our rock eater. they just did it again! this is brilliant!

WHAT THE FUCK? why would someone DO that?

[erros429]

headcanons for team rwby?

SO GLAD YOU ASKED ANON!!

lets start with ruby:

she/they ace lesbian

despite always being kicked out of the kitchen for overcooking everything because her mind can’t conceptualize how the fuck a frying pan works, she’s an EXCELLENT baker. give her an oven and she’ll win the great british baking show EASY

we all know most of her interests stem from her admiration of qrow, but the way she can make a plan off the top of her head is exactly the same as summer (because i say so). and her determination to flip a bad situation onto its head definitely comes from being tai’s daughter

ruby is definitely not stupid or naive, but it’s her lack of effort in the boring subjects in school that bring her grades down. pls try to point someone out to me who can make a scythe gun at 15 and tell me they’re an idiot

actually isn’t very good at action video games. she prefers the puzzle-y type ones, but since she’s grown up playing with yang, she kinda had to.

a master at manipulation. if she REALLLLY wants something, she throws on the doe-eyed look and pouts until her victim cracks. 99% success rate, probably going to be how they defeat salem

wants to be the uncle qrow type of aunt to yang and blake’s kids, but you know… without the alcoholism

weiss:

she/they demisexual lesbian

weiss’s gay awakening was pyrrha 100% — she is a little concerned about her thing for redheads (pyrrha, ruby, penny, probably nora)

allergic to peanuts. learned this the hard way when she was trying one of ruby’s peanut butter sandwiches (weiss very begrudgingly tried it, she was worried she’d get crumbs all over herself)

once found out she and jaune liked one of the same shows and then she immediately began to dislike it. even tried to have the show canceled just to spite him. later on when she’s finally started thinking of him as a respected friend, they have some fun discussions about it

always smells ridiculously good without even trying. seriously, she could go a month without showering and she’d still smell like the finest perfume bottle in existence

weiss adopted a lot of the same mannerisms as klein, like placing her hands behind her back, giving people food from the cafeteria after-hours, and speaking uncharacteristically softly when she sees someone hurt

despite wanting to use her abilities as a huntress to better the schnee name, she’s still extremely business-minded, and it sometimes shows in her daily interactions with people.

blake:

nonbinary bisexual

ilia was blake’s first kiss (stole this hc from @/technicallyblakebelladonna from a comment on one of my old posts, sorry!! i loved it way too much) childhood catmeleon my beloved

lactose intolerant, but consumes dairy anyway because if she can be an ex-white fang member and say “fuck society’s system” then she can say “fuck my digestive system” too

gossips with ren. all the time. they are actually besties. they both love observing people and they’re ridiculously good secret-keepers, so they just dish out all the drama to each other and trust that neither one of them will tell anyone else

hates the enemies to lovers trope. much prefers best friends to lovers

wraps herself into a blanket burrito when she sleeps, unless it’s really hot — then she curls up into a ball, hugging her knees into her chest

very very picky eater, maybe even worse than weiss. she doesn’t have a particularly refined pallet, but she’ll take an hour eating her meals just because she’s trying to individually remove pieces from her food that she doesn’t like

yang:

she/her trans lesbian

used to curse a LOT but when she realizes ruby’s been saying fuck at the ripe old age of 12, she kicks the habit.

the best cook. idgaf what crwby says. she is a homebody. she also loves gardening!

when yang came out as trans, she wanted to have a gender reveal party because she thought it’d be funny.

doesn’t believe in expiration dates until she learns the hard way. she’ll never forget the time she spent an entire week just throwing up.

her sneezes are explosively loud. honestly, everyone around her is convinced that she’ll spout fucking fire from her nose or cause a mini-earthquake one day

learned guitar from tai, but hasn’t done it in over five years. when she lost her arm, she’d stare mournfully at it as it collected dust in the corner of her room, and she tried to pick it back up for a bit after she got her prosthetic

team dynamics:

in beacon, ruby and blake formed a secret little book club after bonding about it one night because they know weiss will just throw really informative nonfiction books at them and yang won’t be interested in the first place.

the only one out of the team that actually drinks is blake. yang and ruby have had bad experiences with qrow’s alcoholism and weiss with her mom’s.

during the beacon days, yang forced weiss to play fuck-marry-kill their teachers (but it’s kiss-marry-kill bc weiss insisted she wouldn’t play if fucking was part of the equation). weiss reluctantly said she’d marry ozpin and yang has never let it go.

in atlas, ruby forces them all to make a pillow fort to parallel their time at beacon. but really it’s an excuse to use yang’s ridiculous body heat to get through the night.

none of the teammates comment on blake’s shower singing because they’re scared she’ll stop if they do

weiss and blake both have ridiculously long skincare routines before bed. yang and ruby secretly keep score of who takes longer every night

similarly, weiss and yang both take ridiculously long in the shower (weiss because she’s scared of having so much as a speck of dirt on herself, and yang because shampooing her hair takes forever and a day). blake and ruby secretly keep score of who takes longer every morning

weiss and ruby bond over NEEDING to pop all the bubbles on bubble-wrap

to get revenge on yang drawing mustaches on them while they’re sleeping, the rest of the team bands together to completely vandalize her face one night. ever since, she’s never been the first to sleep

the team becomes so accustomed to each other, they can all tell their footsteps apart. ruby’s feet slide a bit against the floor, weiss’s basically dance, blake’s are nearly soundless, and yang’s are heavy-footed and make the floor creak

when blake and yang start dating, they’re so fucking insufferable, weiss is certain she’ll have a stroke. at one point, she thinks she’s finally gotten used to them constantly touching each other or looking at each other for prolonged periods of time, but then she’ll catch them making out on her bed, and she decides to just throw the entire mattress away.

weiss is touch-starved (nobody’s surprised) but ruby gives her the best tackle-hugs to make up for the years lost

My problem with HGS has always been that the money they used to make it should have gone to the studios back in Japan. Crunchyroll's whole gimmick back in the day (around 2013 at least) was your sub would proportionally go to the creators you watched. If you watched 90 episodes of Jojo, and 30 of Soul Eater, after operating costs were removed, what remains of your sub was supposed to be split 75% to David Productions, 25% to Bones. At some point that changed, and they decided to use that money to make original content. Animators in Japan already work for pennies, and whether a show flops or succeeds often relies on overpriced merch to recoup sales, so removing our ability to support japanese creators so Crunchyroll can make original cartoons feels extra shitty. HGS is just emblematic of that for me because it was the first original show announced.

Hey, seeing the similarities between my ask and that anon you got, I want to make it clear I'm not that guy. We just have similar complaints about funding. I dont really care who the staff is.

I understand wanting to support Japanese animators, and as far as I'm aware, you still are. It's just that a portion of your money is also now going to support animators here in America, where they are also extremely underpaid, undervalued, and overworked. Japan isn't the only country to treat its animators poorly, although it is perhaps the worst offender. Animators in other countries need our support as well, and in my opinion, offering that support to more than one country shouldn't be viewed as a problem.

I can't really fathom only caring about the Japanese animation industry, to the extent that you take umbrage with Crunchyroll additionally supporting creators and animators outside of Japan. That's absolutely mind-boggling to me. I'm not judging, I'm just genuinely unable to wrap my head around it.

However, and as I said in my previous answer, if it bothers you so much, you can cancel your subscription. Crunchyroll made the decision to fund original works as well as help Japanese animators, they informed their audience, and it is now up to you to decide whether you want to continue supporting them.

Personally, I would, because your money is still going to a worthy cause. It's just now also going to other worthy ventures as well. The majority of Crunchyroll's content is still anime, and anime is still the majority of what people watch on the platform. I have no doubt that their donations to the Japanese animation industry remain sizable.

But, again, if a difference in priorities is a deal breaker for you, perhaps you can find other ways to support the specific industry you want to support.

Hi can I request a pennywise x reader where they're in a relationship so he builds a nest in his stage, box thingy for her? (it's made up of stolen blankets, coats and pillows)

(A/N): I really loved this request, it’s really cute and wholesome!! :,) I had so much fun writing this and I kind of got carried away. I hope you like it anon! Also, requests are open! So if anyone wants to send me a request, I’m more than happy to oblige! 

Pairing: Pennywise x reader

Word Count: 1323 words 

Warnings: Floofy stuff

//////

Walking with purpose, you stumbled upon what you were looking for - the entrance to the sewer. The tunnel itself was hard to miss and protruded from its reinforcements, an almost beckoning aura to it. Though, that may have just been because of what lives there; IT’s pull was magnetic. 

As you entered, your hands gripped onto the coarse stone, climbing. Crouched and armed with a torch, you continued on. The further you walk, the more you’re surrounded by the cold, and the more you’re plunged into darkness. Your arms, covered in goosebumps, dart to your chest, curling as they attempted to halt the sudden gust of wind from producing a shiver. Cold and damp described the place you found yourself in; the absence of light boulstering the claustrophobic blackness. All you had to rely on was the thick cylinder in your hand, its beam your only form of guidance. 

“Penny?” You called. 

Drip, drip drip.

Receiving no answer, you started to become more conscious of the trudge sloshing around your legs. Though you were well acquainted with the sludge that heavily coated the floors of the tunnel, and throughout the sewer, you found it increasingly difficult to repress the gag building up in your throat. You assumed it was something you couldn’t get used to - or perhaps you were - just very, very slowly. The churning sensation in your stomach only worked to reinforce this. 

“Penny!” You repeated, a scowl forming its way onto your face when again, there’s no response. 

Drip, drip drip. 

The stink of sewage, a prominent force in a place like this, suddenly evaporated, a sugary, almost sickly sweet scent taking its place. 

Cotton candy. 

A fragrance so distinctive it was hard to forget, and instantly, you knew it was Pennywise’s doing. A small smile found its way to your lips as you realised this. It was his own way of helping you. 

It wasn’t hard to follow the aroma, the repulsive odour of greywater uppercutting you when you took a wrong turn. Eventually, through trial and error, you started to recognise where you were and in response, you picked up your pace, that is, until you felt something stop you. 

Hands.

The grip was firm, latching onto your shoulders. It caught you off guard, the movement had come out of nowhere, forcing you to jerk. The culprit released a mischievous cackle when they noticed this. 

“Boo!” 

Rolling your eyes, you turned and came face to face with your lover. His amber eyes burned into your own through the darkness, propagating throughout your body like a disease. The butterflies in your abdomen prompted you to wrap your arms around him and he returned the embrace, his face choosing to rest against your neck. It wasn’t long after when you heard a noise; distinctive and feline-like. The sensation reverberated against you as you leaned against his chest. Pennywise continued his affections as he nuzzles into you, nipping at the flesh playfully and you quickly find yourself in the main section of the sewer - where he resided. 

Teleportation.

Your eyes work to adjust to the sudden light, as Pennywise’s tower of stolen goods dominates your view. The tower, with all its twisting and turning, was truly a sight to behold, and it was something Penny was extremely proud of. Whenever you’d show interest in an item, he’d shake, ringing his bells as he revealed the story behind the said item. Everything had a story, and for a creature who had lived for eons, he had plenty. 

Letting out a giggle of surprise as Penny grabbed you by the hips in your moment of admiration, he threw you over his shoulder. His strong arms held you in place as a gloved hand rested on your lower back, your happiness echoing off the walls of the sewer. It’s an antithetical phenomenon considering the context. 

“I have something to show you, little one.” 

You barely had time to process what he said before you’re in the air. A gasp’s ripped from you and you cling onto you eldritch mate. His leap is preternatural and exhilarating all in one as he lands onto his infamous stage. When landing, he plops you down next to him, the warm, ambient orange glow encapsulating the both of you. The drapes and decorations which hung from the beams above were scattered around the platform, creating an almost magical scene.

“What is it, Penny?” You said, shooting a smile up at him.

“Patience,” is all he replied with, as he grips your arm and pulls you along to the left wing of the stage. 

When he stopped, he looks down at you expectantly and you furrowed your brows in response, trying to search for anything that stood out. It didn’t take you long, with your gaze falling onto what looked to be like a wooden construct. When you stepped closer, you’re able to identify it as a makeshift bed. It’s quite spacious considering, and as a replacement for a mattress, a collation of coats and blankets were used. Nestled neatly beside were even more blankets, while pillows were placed invitingly on top of the coat and blanket mound. 

For a DIY project, it actually looked really comfortable. The thought of your mate stealing collecting materials with the intention of it being for you, followed by the thought of Pennywise getting frustrated while building like it was from IKEA made you smile. It was a strange thought; while you’re grateful and it’s enough to make your heart sing with joy, it’s also something you wouldn’t expect from the literal eater of worlds. 

“Oh my God, Pen! This is amazing!” You turned around to give the clown a beaming smile, one with which he reciprocates, his buck teeth displayed. 

A childish excitement seemed to overtake you and you grab your lover’s hand towards the bed. Careful not to mess anything up, you made yourself comfortable. Pennywise, once he managed to miraculously fit all his lanky limbs into the box, forcibly grabs onto you, wrapping himself around you - arms and legs included; preventing you from even thinking about leaving. Knowing better than to resist, you gave into him. 

“Good girl,” he cooed, the action of relinquishing pleasing him greatly. 

A sweet, dreamy sigh left your lips, the warmth emitted from the being next to you fortifying the feeling of satisfaction and comfort. If you ever had a bad day, you knew Pen would always be there for you, able to make the worries melt away. Although he may have a strange way of showing it, he really did care for you, more than you could ever conceptualise. 

This was your safe haven. 

“Hey, Pen?” 

You’re just barely able to look up at him, pushed into his chest like a pillow. He opens one of the golden eyes he had previously so lazily fluttered shut. As a silent prompt to continue, he peered down at you. 

“I love you,” you blurted out. It was crazy. You knew. Loving the eater of worlds, a being that was practically immortal, a being that had the power to crush you in the blink of an eye, destroy your very existence and drive you mad. Everything about it was batshit insane, but you couldn’t change how you felt. The way he made you feel was unexplainable and ethereal all wrapped into one. 

He chuckled. 

It’s not a forced one, filled with malice and condescension, it’s not the laugh you’ve heard him use when trying to scare his victims; sadistic and mocking. 

It’s genuine. 

Never before had you seen him so gentle and affectionate. He maneuvered his hand to hold the back of your head, pushing you into him once more. Wordlessly, he placed his lips upon the top of your head, the purring returning stronger and louder than ever. 

The kiss was enough to communicate what he meant.

It was his unspoken way of saying: 

‘I love you too.’ 

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

I just finished remembrance (and it's pretty good! ) but I was wondering if you could give some headcanons as to what happened there. How do Penny, Luca & Rowan do as professors? Pip? How exactly did Chiara go through hell? (Hunted for being a half-breed?Lost more loved ones due to that?) Any night terrors or PTSD from the lot? How're the badgers after all that? How do the characters move on with their lives? Is Merula living as a hit witch? Chiara at St. Mungo's? Sorry I'm just really curious..

Before I go any further, I want to thank you so much for asking, anon! And I’d like to thank you for your kind words, and for showing interest. It always gives me a good feeling to know that someone is curious. As for how I see the future playing out, I talk about it a fair bit in this post right here, mostly concerning Gail, but I’m delighted to go into head-canons about your questions. 

One thing that I’ve been feeling more and more that Luca wouldn’t actually do, is teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. I think I was in a mindset of “There’s no other subject left” because I didn’t want to just say that Hagrid was retiring from teaching Care of Magical Creatures after all of four years. But in hindsight, I still want Harry James Potter in the D.A.D.A. job. But I think Luca would become a kind of makeshift therapist or guidance counselor for the Hogwarts students. Someone who could listen and help them figure things out, because they sure would have liked someone to do that for them when they were in school. As far as Penny and Rowan, I can’t say that I have too many head-canons other than that they would both be splendid at their jobs. Rowan has wanted to teach since they were a young child, and goodness me, Penny would be a breath of fresh air for most students after Snape. And as much as I love Slughorn, he was a little exclusive. Penny would rectify that. 

Pip was indeed adopted into the Trouble Trio’s big ol’ family. I talk about her a lot more in this post, but I can imagine her mouthing off to Aurelia and Nigel if they ever say or do something that’s a little dated, shall we say - they’re still learning how to be woke, bless their hearts. I think she would get into constant mischief and, despite being the closest to Merula, she’d have more in common with Tulip than anyone else. Really, the end-game here is that Luca is like the BBC version of John Watson. A softie who is drawn to all the chaos aligned folk, and their adoptive daughter is no different. 

I think Chiara’s status as a Half-Breed is what really made the second wizarding war and that entire time period such hell. We know from what Remus went through in the books, that it wouldn’t have been easy. We know the Umbridge was able to pass Anti-Werewolf laws. Call it the influence of Jae’s lawlessness, or just call it common sense, but Chiara never submitted herself to the Registry. Thus I imagine she was constantly on the move, trying to avoid the Werewolves who had gone to Voldemort, similar to how Slughorn kept moving around so that the Death Eaters would not try to recruit him. I also think that Chiara lost a number of people during the war. That one or both of her parents were killed. Perhaps something with Selina. I also alluded to Jae and Chiara breaking up a few times, which they did, and I think that can be traced back to Chiara’s nature, in how she pushes people away when she feels like they shouldn’t be caught up in her problems. But...I also think Jae crossed a line, here and there. He may have done dealings with death eaters, to keep himself on peaceful terms with them. Sure, it kept him and Chiara alive, but it’s still helping them. What’s more, he became an informant for the Ministry, which as we know was exceedingly corrupt in the last few years. He was ordered to submit the names of all werewolves he knew. Sure, it would have looked suspicious to deny knowing any at all...but these are still human beings, and part of the minority that Chiara is in. Of course he never named her, but he named others. I think it may take time for Chiara to forgive him for that, even if she understands why he had to. 

There is most certainly a lot of trauma to go around with the badger squad, but they have each other and that’s what matters. If we want, we could even say that Chiara left St. Mungo’s and became Madam Pomfrey’s successor so that she could be closer to her oldest friends. Just an idea. I think out of everyone, Penny and Chiara were the most torn up about Tonks. It’s in Penny’s nature to collapse when something like this happens, and given everything that Chiara has been through, it was just one loss too many. It would time and healing for them to all be okay. But I also believe that they move on with their lives. Luca and their partners raise Pippa Scruff, and Luca carries Jacob with them in their heart. Rowan and Diego return to live in Britain and I think that makes both of them a lot happier, especially since Rowan gets to be near their friends and feel less like they’re a failure at socializing. I also feel like the badger squad is able to heal by pouring themselves into their new careers, and helping aid the little ones. Meanwhile, Tulip is doing what she loves, with the people she loves by her side. So while she also took Tonks’  death really hard, she’s got a kid now. A kid who is just like her. That’s got to provide some distraction and serotonin. 

Meanwhile, I’m not sure if Merula would remain a Hit Witch. Luca and Tulip were never happy about it, for the same reason any significant other isn’t happy about their loved one going into a career that involves guns, and potential death. They want Merula to be happy, but they also want her to be safe. Following the Battle of Hogwarts, Merula might choose to leave that career for the sake of her partners. Because the risk would just become too much for them to live with. I’m not sure where she would go from there. But I have an idea. My head-canon for Beatrice is that she eventually becomes an Unspeakable. If Merula is looking for a new career, well...that also kinda seems like it would be right up her alley. Beatrice could owl her and offer to make a recommendation. 

Again, thank you so much for the message, and thank you for checking out my work! (Psst, shameless self plug, Accordance returns tomorrow, everyone!)

A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue Anon [Francis Grose] London Printed for S Hooper 1785 First Edition

Francis Grose's 'Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue' was first published in 1785, and is a dictionary of slang words. Grose was one of the first lexicographers to collect slang words from all corners of society, not just from the professional underworld of pickpockets and bandits. So while 'The Vulgar Tongue' includes many of the words found in earlier 'scoundrels'' dictionaries (such as Head's 'Canting Academy'), it also lists a whole range of mundane slang words such as sheepish (for bashful), carrots (for red hair), or sweet (for expert, dexterous, clever). He records many rude words, such as bum fodder (for toilet paper), or double jugg (for a man's bottom). And he includes many nicknames for food and drink - words for gin (an enormously popular drink at the time) include: blue ruin, cobblers punch, crank, diddle, frog's wine, heart's ease, lightening and drain. Grose and his assistant Tom Cocking took midnight walks through London, picking up slang words in slums, drinking dens and dockyards and adding them into their 'knowledge-box'. 'The Vulgar Tongue' was recognised throughout the 19th century as one of the most important collections of slang in the English language, and it would strongly influence later dictionaries of this kind.

entries include Betwattled — to be surprised, confounded, out of one’s senses Blind cupid — the backside Bone box — the mouth Brother of the quill — an author Cackling farts – eggs Captain queernabs — shabby ill-dressed fellow Chimping merry — exhilarated with liquor Comfortable importance — a wife Dicked in the nob — silly, crazed Dog booby — an awkward lout Duke of limbs — a tall, awkward, ill-made fellow Eternity box — a coffin Head rails — teeth Hickey — tipsy, hiccupping Irish apricots — potatoes Jolly nob — the head. “I’ll lump your jolly nob for you”: I’ll give you a knock on the head. Knowledge box — another term for the head. Kittle pitchering — to disrupt the flow of a “troublesome teller of long stories” by constantly questioning and contradicting unimportant details, especially at the start (best done in tandem with others) Knight of the trenches — a great eater Just-ass — a punning name for a justice [judge] Paw paw tricks — forbidden tricks; from the French pas pas Penny wise and pound foolish — saving in small matters, and extravagant in great Sugar stick — the virile member Tallywags / Whirligigs — testicles Whipt Syllabub — a flimsy, frothy discourse Whipster — a sharp or subtle fellow

Hello! there The reading rembrance anon Is here and currently in chapter 17 I don't actually remember un What chapter everything happened so My comments This Time are un disorder

- Diego being a Luca x Merula shipper Is actually cracking me up, I know It's probably very awkward for Luca but I really laughed at that.

- Jacob as MC's Boggart Is a really cool concept and really i Would liked to see it in The canon because It's just make So much sense. Like yeah, MC Loves Jacob They make their whole purpose to find him and that could be drived by positive feelings about finding your Family and all, but I doubt They don't have any negative Emotions cause Of The long search for their brother, when You base your entire existence to do something, in This to find Someone, You actually Would be overwhelmed and that Thing You love could turn in what holds you back most from growing as a Individual person. And in This set Of The game, de don't ANYTHING about Jacob and there are rumors already “Jacob Is Crazy” “Jacob Is a Death eater” sure, MC wouldn't Think Any Of that Is true but how They Never considered that maybe Jacob Isn't The person They Thought he Is? It's a really interesting topic.

- Animagus Merula Isn't a idea that I Thought Before, but actually also It's cool, She's known for sneaking so She totally could want transform in a Animagus to spy People, It's a very Snyde thing to do (no pun intended) I love The fact her Animagus Is a cat because Is a very ambiguos animal in terms Of simbology. Some culture sees Them as sacred Animals and objects Of adoration (What Merula Think She Is) and Others relate Them to Missfortune, Ghosts, etc. So having The intentions Of Merula are difficult to decipher, The cat form really fits her

- I Just can think In how offended Luca feeled when Bitten go with Merula and Mitten also lreally Likes her I just could think Of The Voice Of Catra saying “Ah! No! Betrayal!”

- Surprisingly, I didn't really think that Rowan coul be related to R, It was really suspicious how They point The Finger to Ben, but I Was “Nah, It Would be too easy”

- Luca and Tulip are actually really cute together, It's really a shame that all The content They Would had in The game Is just The First date and The Celestial Ball, Like The MC x Tulip has a really Good potential, How could JamCity no see it?

- I don't If seeing The delusion luca has with The Weird sister It's Hilarious or actually really sad, but go for It, Luca! burn All related to Them!

- The HC of Luca giving Penny The clothes Aurelié gave Them... I just Can't explain, really touched my Heart, Luca Is just too Good for This World and I Need to Protect them so bad

That's All I coul really think Of, I'm really liking it so far!

Not me absolutely suffocating myself in warm fuzzies (probably puffskeins, come to think of it) as I struggle to cope with how wonderful your commentary is. Nope, couldn’t be me, there’s no way. 

I’m so glad you can see what I see in the potential of Jacob being MC’s Boggart and I honestly have no idea why the game didn’t go this route. It’s the only thing that makes perfect sense. Voldemort? Literally, doesn’t make a lick of sense. MC is living in the “lost generation” between the two wars. Their life is unaffected by Voldemort and they even reassure Talbott that he’ll never return. So what gives? Is it just fanservice? (He really shouldn’t have the snake-like look, by the way...that only happened because of his revival potion at the end of GOF.) At the time, I thought maybe they wanted to keep Jacob unseen, keep him shrouded in mystery...but they didn’t have a problem revealing his face two years later! The crazy thing is, they even suggest that Jacob could be a reason of origin for MC’s fears. They can cite the “Death Eater” rumor as being the explanation for their Boggart, which would mean that it’s not really Voldemort MC is afraid of any more than it’s Merula that Tulip is truly afraid of.

Merula’s symbolic animal (Her Patronus, Animagus form, etc.) is also something that I feel quite strongly about and I’m glad to see I’m not alone in considering the idea! Seriously, I’ve grown up with feline companions for as long as I can remember and trust me, Merula is such a cat. She’s much more of a cat than even Luca is. In so many ways, it’s absolutely perfect. On a Meta level, my being a Merula defender is appropriate because there’s not much I dislike more than those odd, unfounded stereotypes that cats are assholes. I mean, they can be, and Merula often is...but cats are also extremely loving and I believe Merula has the potential to be as well. Love is, as we know, the most powerful force in this universe, and she is of course the most powerful witch at Hogwarts. 

Aha! Another She-Ra fan. Catra and Merula have a lot in common in many ways, and the whole Catradora romance feels quite familiar. Though most people compare it to MC/Merula, it definitely reminds me more of Tulip/Merula, but that’s just a personal touch. But never mind the ships of the past, the ships of the present appear to be gearing up for smooth sailing, perhaps? I shall say nothing except thank you profusely and sob at your feet for what you said about Luca and Tulip being cute. Seriously, MC’s bond with Tulip during Year 3 is so powerful. I just think seeing another person’s Boggart and learning the history behind it is...kind of a big deal? It’s a unique brand of emotional intimacy. 

Ah, the “Rowan is R” theory. I truly believed it for a while. Again, not getting into spoilers, (Keep in mind, this was written before Y6CH18 hit us all over the head) but Luca’s journey with suspecting Rowan reflects my own in many ways. I had that heart-stopping moment at the end of Year 3 of realizing that there was a prominent character who was a clear suspect for being R and yet no one in-game acknowledged it. We could suspect Rita, Rosmerta, Flitwick for some reason...but not Rowan. At least with Rakepick, the characters considered the possibility that it was her.  Seriously, it isn’t until mid-Year 5 that someone points out Rowan’s first initial. Between Rowan’s suspicion of Ben, and the game avoiding the very blatant elephant in the room...I got more and more anxious that Rowan might be the answer. I adore Rowan, to be clear. I never wanted this to be true, and I’m glad that it isn’t. 

Bitten hates Luca as much as Luca hates The Weird Sisters. And in both cases, it’s quite irrational. Once again, Luca’s feelings are mirroring my own. I...cannot stand The Weird Sisters. In the GOF film they’re cringe, but in HPHM, they actually creep me out and irritate me. Luca straight up tells them that they’re not comfortable with these complete strangers writing songs about them, and the dude just goes “Don’t think of it like that.” Like sir no, you need to stop now, I am a minor. Cut the crap. But enough about that, thank you for the kind words about the scene with Penny! (I mean, thank you in general, but y’know) it’s funny because that scene apparently launched a bit of a small fanclub for the Luca x Penny ship - which I don’t think it’s a spoiler to tell you, ain’t gonna happen in the fic.

Ok but if/when Ismelda becomes our friend she better stop making snarky comments & saying shit about how she doesn’t care about whatever we’re doing & not to talk to her cause it’s super annoying. Especially if we have to help her with her sibling issues with Annalena. Like the least she can do after that is be nicer. I’m not asking her to turn into another Penny, but as a friend she should be more respectful to MC. I mean recently she’s gotten better at that anyway & she seems to have stopped making edgy/disturbing comments & threats. But she still makes unnecessary digs sometimes so I hope she tones that down too. She can be snarky that’s fine but no insults.

There's only one problem with that, anon, and that's the utterly bonkers timeline of HPHM as a whole.

I've talked about this a lot before, but The TLSQs can and will drop at any and every point of the HPHM story, and they are always optional. Meaning that short of the occasional reference slipped in to the dialogue, a reference that is designed to be completely skippable, these quests won't ever get mentioned again after they conclude. Rarely, you'll get situations like Flying Solo, a direct sequel to a previous quest, but for the most part, all of these adventures are standalone and sadly, I think they're going to stay that way.

We've already seen this affect Merula's character most of all. Her antagonistic relationship with MC and how much of a pain in the ass she chooses to be, are seemingly random and based on the whims of whatever quest of the week that she's in, and as a developer's favorite, she's in quite a few of them. But Ismelda's character is in a similar vice. Her general personality is not a pleasant one. She's grumpy, she's rude, she habitually scares people. But because these quests involve the story time-traveling to various years without leaving much impact after they've finished, the general personalities of most characters don't ever really change.

In fairness, Ismelda is a bit of an exception. We've seen them go a bit all over the place with her. Most of the time, she isn't written with her "budding Death Eater" mask anymore, but there are times like the Sphinx Club TLSQ where she feels like she's more mature than she's ever been and has become sort-of friends with MC. And then there are times like the Quibbler TLSQ where she's completely villainous and isn't even really acting like herself. It all comes down to Pre-Crushed and Post-Crushed, if you ask me. That was the real turning point for her character. Unfortunately, that quest is also optional, so the same logic applies.

This may be an even bigger turning point, and if we're going to be getting Ismelda as a friend, I sure hope it will be. But I don't know what will come afterward. Unless this is going to happen in the main story, which I doubt. Then again, they've sort of been gradually making her better during the main story as well, her friendship with Beatrice being a standout. If Ismelda does become our friend in the main story, we can enjoy her being nicer for the remainder of Year 7, but that's about it. The TLSQs still won't reflect her nicer behavior because most of them will be written to feasibly take place prior to her and MC becoming friends.
