Incorrect Gilderoy Lockhart Quote

Severus Snape: *walks into the room*

Gilderoy Lockhart, back turned to him: My my, Minerva! To what do I owe the visit? Don't worry, my foresight is extremely difficult to have. To be perfectly honest, the first people I did that with weren't y- *turns around*

Gilderoy: Oh.

Severus: Oh indeed.

Gilderoy: Two guests at once, Minerva must be joining us in the future.

Severus: No, she won't.

Gilderoy: If only we wait a little-

Severus: She left for Hogsmeade five minutes ago.

Gilderoy: Then she must have forgotton something.

Severus: As have you.

Gilderoy: Are you insinuating that my foresight has become weaker?

Severus: No, of course not. When would it ever have been good?

Gilderoy: Now you're mocking me, old friend. But don't worry, I will prove it to you- Ah, look, there she is! *Grins*

Severus: *Becomes extremely pale even though he knows that it has to be a coincidence* *Opens his eyes* Ugh-that cat is white, for Merlin's sake, Gilderoy! And way too young!

Gilderoy to the cat: Looking not over fourty *winks*. I know, I know. New haircolors do that for you.

[Later]

Minerva: He did what?! *Starts laughing uncontrollably* Should I change my haircolor? *laughs*

How Fantasy Writers Can Draw Inspiration from Red Dwarf

In the boundless realm of fantasy literature, where authors conjure tales from the depths of their imagination, inspiration can emerge from a myriad of sources, including the world of science fiction comedy. “Red Dwarf,” a beloved sci-fi sitcom known for its unique blend of humour, character-driven stories, and speculative science, offers a wealth of creative insights for fantasy authors. Let’s…

Human: What are you doing

Giraffe centaur, trying to get a coin from underneath a vending machine: my best.

[it-happened-once-in-a-meme]

You after Edward saved you from, I don't know, the danger of schools where students drive cars: Wow, you saved me.

Edward, desperately trying to give you hints: The way Carl McNyle saved Al..ysha from uhm... Emm..miette's pet bat in The Sparkling Woods Tale? *Proceeds to tell a story that has way too much in common with your own story but isn't*

Fast forward to:

You, after the safety checkup in the hospital: *passes by someone with the name tag "Dr. Carlisle Cullen*

Carlisle to one of his colleagues: No, no, Edward's doing fine. By the way, my other son Emmett told me this fascinating story-

You: *Le realization* Edward, you little shit. Where are you hiding the secret forrest with pet bats, and what does it have to do with you being able to read minds?

if i wrote twilight there'd be a kid in edward's class who Zones The Fuck Out and daydreams about a story they want to write, and edward would just tune in to watch like a tv show when he's bored in class and he gets genuinely invested and eventually he's like "i know EXACTLY how they can fix this plot hole that's bothering them but how can i tell them that when they don't KNOW i'm their first beta reader"

Adult!Villain and Teen!Hero are hilarious, an whole ass adult beefing with a OP high schooler? Comedy

Honestly, doesn't do it for me. (Sorry) I know it's a very common trope and it's totally valid if you or anyone else likes it!

(I don't think I'm drawn to antagonist &/ protagonist dynamics for the comedy in general. It's not what interests me about it. But that's partly also a semantics thing, e.g. 'rivals' versus 'enemies', 'villain' as in 'supervillain' which can mean like megamind versus 'villain of the story'. I can appreciate comedy in a story about rivals, idk, I can't explain the distinction.)

Anyway. Like, to me, this gives:

horror in the power imbalance between children and adults

themes of children/teenagers having to step up to save the world because of the actions or inaction of older generations

themes in the way adults are not taught its unacceptable to have public beef with a teenager + lessened boundaries in how we treat each other in public spaces

themes in the whole creepy child trope, e.g. a teenager who is so powerful and the ways that this can backfire

themes in identity formation and the myriad different masks we might wear as teenagers and how someone can pick up on just one part of who you are growing to be and hate it.

If you're reading this right now, and you are in a writing mood, get off this app right now and go write something. If you feel like you can write good things for a while and continue on with your WIP, then go do it. You could get some really good chapters or parts or whatever done on you story, and if you post, then the people that read it can be happy when they read your work.

If you're a writer, and you are in a writing mood, go write now, because you don't know the next time you will be in a mood like this. It will probably be another month.

[fiction-quotes]

The wind howled. Lightning stabbed at the earth erratically, like an inefficient assassin. Thunder rolled back and forth across the dark, rain-lashed hills.

The night was as black as the inside of a cat. It was the kind of night, you could believe, on which gods moved men as though they were pawns on the chessboard of fate. In the middle of this elemental storm a fire gleamed among the dripping furze bushes like the madness in a weasel's eye. It illuminated three hunched figures. As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked: “When shall we three meet again?”

There was a pause.

Finally another voice said, in far more ordinary tones: “Well, I can do next Tuesday.”
