my goal ultimately is to create such a deeply confusing and tonally inconsistent portfolio that people will read something i wrote and be like wow. how tragic. how haunting. i wonder what else this dark and pretentious individual has written and then click on my profile and it's like *glitter text* MINECRAFT TWITCH STREAMER AU. SEVERAL OF THEM

What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭

So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.

With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.

Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.

But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

what if orpheus never looked back, what if he did trust that eurydice would be behind him the whole time, what if he got so focused on getting out he forgot to look back, what if he got to the above world and eurydice still wasn’t there

Dreamt I was in a warzone and then in school. I wasn't actually in like. Fighting. Like a troop. I was in my house hidden and scared I think the threat was landmines. The school was nice tho a little girl spoke to me a lot but I couldn't understand her and we watched a football game and I saw someone from highschool though she seemed a bit preoccupied

regardless of its source, this is my favorite reaction image because it represents such a wide range of emotions, all of which i feel quite frequently

currently it is how i feel coming out of the fugue state of writing and looking at the pages i've just hammered out in like roughly an hour and a half

THAT IS HIS LITTLE BUDDY

[tiredofthehumanlife]

My eight year old cousin asked me how many siblings I had I said "legally, emotionally, or like for real" she said "all of them." I said "legally speaking two, emotionally five, for real one." She said "how is it emotionally five?" So then I explained all three to her and in the process I remembered I have three other siblings I forgot about kinda so I was like "listen it's a complicated tree" and she said "oh you think your tree is bad I have two dads and one mom" and I said "are you trying to one up rn bc guess what I too have one mom and two dads" and she said "well my dad cheated on my mom" i said "girl same and guess what else" so then we gossiped for a second and like an hour later she came up to me and told me we're best friends now so daddy issues save lives

Thanks to the delightful and Much Appreciated donation of a ton of sprite edits by @severalsmallwizards, the number of ships I don't have visuals for is a very reasonable 14 ships!! Which is WAY DOWN from the 55 I thought I'd have to do, and perfectly possible to get done!

If people get back to me about permissions I'll trade their art in, and if anyone wants to take a crack at the remaining ships without visuals noted here, they are more than welcome to. But I'd say we're more or less ready!! So keep an eye out at around 6:30-ish EST on the 2nd (today, lmao) for the full schedule!!
