‘No, the boy is everything!’ ‘Why are they all standing around that manky old boot?’ ‘It’s hurting again, isn’t it?  Your scar.’ ‘Completely demented, of course, and terrifying to be in the same room with…but he’s really been there, you know?  He’s looked evil in the eye.’ ‘However, if we are to truly discover the meaning of these events, perhaps we should, for the time being, let them pass.’ ‘In short, what makes a champion tick?’ ‘Hey, my eyes aren’t ‘glistening with the ghosts of my past.’ ‘I don’t know why, but he was going to use this man to get to me.’ ‘I’m saying the devils are inside the walls.’ ‘Why don’t you just go and talk to him yourself?’ ‘I’m not an owl!’ ‘It’s not like I try to blow things up, exactly.’ ‘My father will hear about this!’ ‘Now…what are you going to do about your dragon?’ ‘Who wants me to open it?’ ‘Well, it does match your eyes.  Is there a bonnet?’ ‘I will not have you, in the course of a single evening, besmirching that name by behaving like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons.’ ‘Why do they have to travel in packs?’ ‘I couldn’t help it.  It just sort of slipped out.’ ‘Poor kid.  I bet she’s alone in her room, crying her eyes out.’ ‘Are you going to ask me to dance or not?’ ‘You are trying to figure this egg out, aren’t you?’ ‘You saved her, even though she wasn’t yours to save.’ ‘A true leader does what is right, no matter what others think.’ ‘Get your filthy hands off me, you pathetic little men!’ ‘But be very wary, you could just lose yourselves along the way.’ ‘For a moment there, I thought you were gonna let it get me.’ ‘I can touch you…now.’ ‘I couldn’t leave him, not there.’ ‘You ended up in that graveyard tonight because it was meant to be so.’ ‘Personally, I’ve never had much time for heroes.’ ‘Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.’ ‘Everything’s going to change now, isn’t it?’

Hogwarts Legacy NPC Starter's ( 1 / ? )

I bet Durmstrang students don't have to put up this this kind of stupidity.

Haven't we enough chaos without Peeves?

It you singe my robes -

Pleasant bit of magic, isn't it?

Why, you cheeky little charmgrinder.

Next time it shrieks I shall bake the thing.

Would you mind putting me back down.

You call that an attack?

Perhaps you might set me down, moonmind!

Isn't a broom good enough?

Oh, I'm just out and about. Riding a Graphorn.'

Riding a Hippogriff's all well and good till it throws you.

When is _ going to learn to stay away from the Restricted Section?

Striking up a friendship with , are we?

Why would you want to spend so much time with ? Do you feel sorry for him?

I'm still struggling with antidotes. Startling to me that so many of them use Mandrakes. I'll be sure never to go into that line of work.

That reminds me, did say we could borrow the book overnight, or that we'd get detention if we had it out overnight?

The people I feel sorry for are the ones who don't receive any owls, poor things. Have you seen their little faces at the table?

If anyone needs help with an essay or assignment, I don't mind lending a hand. I wrote two inches for Binns yesterday while I was eating my lunch.

That poor first-year trying to get into the Gryffindor common room. I swear the Fat Lady was having them on. Poor thing had to wait till next day.

Someone was trying to come up with some sort of pepper hex the other day.

I like to keep a bit of Wiggenweld Potion under my bed. Not naming names, but someone's bought a few too many tricks from Zonko's.

Try working with a wand that's been passed down from three unruly sisters.

Well, my father naturally assumed I'd be a strong Seeker, just like him.

Thank Merlin Quidditch was cancelled.

I took my copy of One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi to Herbology and I left it in the greenhouse, by the Mandrake seedlings. _ was horrified I didn't have it for class. Said I need to get my priorities straight.

What's the point of even learning about Herbology if we can't get ourselves into some trouble with Gillyweed?

If I haven't personally met a mermaid by the end of term, I can tell you, I shan't be happy.

Any of you know where I can find some Leaping Toadstools?

Did you get your Bitterroot from Pippin's? Or did you pick it yourself? I'm desperately in need of some.

I heard some chatter near the girls' lavatory about Boomslang skin. Do you think they're looking to brew a Polyjuice Potion?

I suppose I'd be curious about a Beautification Potion. What? Not for me, moonmind. For a friend of mine.

Don't be stupid. How do you look at a rock and say, 'Oh, I think I'll drink that.'?

Those French don't even hold their wands right so I don't know what they're teaching at Beauxbatons.

Almost makes you want to send them one just to give them a thrill.

Me? I'm dripping with owls.

Is there anywhere in Hogwarts you haven't explored?

I thought I was a good duellist, but I wouldn't dare cross you.. .

It was brilliant how you defeated _ in that duel.

Where did you and run off to?

Almost got me expelled, that did.

My father used to say that I looked part Erumpent. It's not funny.

If I Transfigure my poor toad into a goblet one more time, I think he's going to insist he stay that way.

Professor _ going to quiz us on rare water beasts next week.

Can't wait to tell _ I actually saw a Kelpie in Ireland over the summer.

Don't know why the common rooms all have secret ways of entering. Who wants to go into someone else's common room anyway? We were sorted for a reason.

Someone's parent sent homemade Cauldron Cakes and they shared them in the common room. Think they mistook salt for sugar, mind you. Half-eaten cakes everywhere for days, there were.

Our dorm's atrocious. I do wish people would clean up after themselves once in a while

A Bundimun destroyed my homework last night.

If I didn't know better, I'd say they were raised by trolls.

I was distracted by Peeves and ran face-first into _ the other day. Our books went flying. Think it made Peeves' entire week.

_ caught me making faces behind his back. It was awful – not to mention losing so many house points.

I need to get some dragon-hide gloves for Herbology. I refuse to handle Chinese Chomping Cabbages with bare hands.

Going to harvest some knotgrass from the greenhouses today. Did you know that it's used in Polyjuice Potion?

I'd like to open a shop in Hogsmeade myself one day.

I'd wager it was something to do with their time as an Auror.

Every time she pretends not to see me in the halls, I cast at her with a Trip Jinx.

I was trapped on the Grand Staircase for an hour the other day waiting for it to move.

My friends and I like to spend our evenings watching the sun set from the Quidditch pitch.

That’s all the pitch is good for this year, sadly.

Have you been to the Owlery lately? House-elves have fallen a bit behind in the cleaning this week.

I heard an ex-Auror lives in a hamlet outside of Hogsmeade. Think I'd want a quiet life too after years fighting Dark Wizards.

I'd like to retire to Hogsmeade one day. Open a pub. Bore future Hogwarts pupils with tales of my childhood.

Any news about the dragon near Pitt-Upon-Ford? Be enough to make me move, to be honest.

I met some of my best friends in Flying. Nothing creates a bond like thinking you're all about to die.

_ promised me his old broomstick once he's saved up for a new one.

I practised doing a loop-the-loop on my broom all summer.

I miss going to matches.

Cheering everyone on was magnificent fun.

The Chudley Cannons are going to be unbeatable next season; you just wait and see.

_ glanced at me the other day in the Great Hall. I spit out my breakfast. Not sure it sent the right message.

I used to write to my parents every week. Now I can't remember the last time I sent them an owl.

Wish I'd brought a pet owl to school.

So many letters arrive every day and none of them is ever for me.

I rather enjoy Transfiguration myself. The complexity – the precise nature of it; truly something to be admired.

Professor _ is a marvellous teacher. Never requires us to write more inches of parchment on a topic than necessary.

If I can just stop vanishing my notes when practising Evanesco, I think I can get an O on my Transfiguration O.W.L. this year.

Wish I had your skill. I'm like a drowned Billywig at Crossed Wands, I am.

Just curious, were you born with a broom?

Oh, you shouldn't be using that sort of magic. You'll get into a lot of trouble for that

DECEPTION | t.riddle

IN WHICH: lucius malfoy never put tom riddle's diary in ginny weasley's cauldron. instead, history puts a twist on the events and the diary is put on a shelf in flourish and blott's, only to be picked up by an unsuspecting, muggleborn witch in hufflepuff; sixteen-year-old (Name) Tyler.

PAIRING: tom riddle x afab!hufflepuff reader

WARNINGS: dark/yandere(?), mind control, manipulation, animal death, murder, hypnotism, tom riddle is a warning on his own, mental breakdowns, insanity, lady macbeth arc(?), character death, etc

Your hands were shaking. They'd been doing that a lot lately. The skin around your fingernails was red raw and bleeding, due you picking them from stress. Your pupils were blown-wide yet had a distant look to them, as if you weren't in the moment itself at all.

Desparately, you tried to scrub the blood stains that wouldn't go away. They wouldn't wash off. You felt like you were going insane. Like you were losing your mind. How the fuck had it come to this? You knew exactly how it'd all come to this.

It was a dreary August day in the summer of 1992. And your parents decided to take you back-to-school shopping in Diagon Alley for your sixth year at Hogwarts. You recalled going into Flourish and Blott's, dodging through the ever-growing line to see the infamous Gilderoy Lockhart, whom you paid no mind.

You'd spied the even-more infamous Harry Potter in the line somewhere. You were more focused on obtaining your school books for this year when you'd caught sight of it in your peripheral vision. The diary. The vintage-looking, leather-bound diary with it's worn exterior and its off-white parchment pages. And the three-word name at the bottom in a gold-colour. Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Something scorched the back of your mind as helpless fingers plucked the diary off the shelf and into your cauldron with a clatter. To others, it was an unnoticed background noise but in your delirium, it sounded like the rolling East Winds of the storm last week. Crashing and forcing itself to be heard. You didn't want to take it but something beyond your control forced you to take it.

For the first couple of days back at Hogwarts, you'd neglected to write in it. Then you did. On the 9th of September, you finally wrote in it. The classic sentence starter of Dear Diary. Then came the reply. Hello (Name) Tyler. You adored Tom and wrote to him as often as you could.

Between classes. During lessons. During meals. After your dorm mates had gone to sleep. Then you began to experience the black-outs. One minute you were walking between classes; the next you found yourself near Hagrid's hut, robes drenched in a strange, crimson substance.

Your mind tried to deny it, the very fact, trying to convince you it was red ink or paint. But in your heart you knew the truth. You were covered in blood. The blood of the school roosters. And the guilt began to slowly eat you up. Consuming your heart. Clouding your mind. Until you began to soothe your madness by writing to your sweet Tom and picking the skin around your fingernails until it bled.

The same sinful red as the roosters' blood. Then the attacks followed swiftly. First, Filch's cat, Mrs Norris was petrified by the Basilik that you set loose on the school. You warned them. Writing the message in blood on the wall. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir beware.

The victims of the Basiliks' petrification began to pile up. Sir Nicholas. Colin Creevey. Justin Finch-Fletchley. Penelope Clearwater. Hermione Granger. And it was all your fault. You'd condemned them to their fates. And the more paranoid you got. You'd hallucinate the blood on your hands. Scrubbing your hands for hours on end until they were red raw, just to get the fucking stain out.

You had your Tom to comfort you all. To soothe your ever-growing madness and paranoia. He'd appear to you sometimes. The tall, dark and handsome boy with his dark brown locks and insatiable smile. Then you figured it out. It was him. It was all him.

You'd pointed an accusatory finger at him, shaking like a leaf. "You..." you'd muttered in horror before meeting his piercing gaze with blown-wide pupils, "It's you!".

In a fleeted attempt to save yourself and anyone else, you stormed to the Girls' Lavatory on the third floor and threw the diary into the toilet. Thinking yourself safe, you relaxed. But you shouldn't have let your guard down. Tom had basically imprinted himself on you.

You always recalled his beautiful brown eyes piercing your soul, the very image was burnt into your memory. And no matter how many times you tried to forget, he always. came. back. You'd broken into Gryffindor Tower and basically ransacked the one of the Boys' Dormitories until you retrieved it.

Your diary.

You weren't yourself anymore. People around you noticed too. What happened to (Name)? Was something that was whispered among peers. Your bestfriend, Lily Peterson, had noticed too. You brushed her off, pushing her away. Then, tired of waiting, Tom summoned you down to the Chamber of Secrets.

His initial plan was to drain your life force so he could live again. But things changed. As the product of a love potion, he couldn't properly feel true, honest love but rather a warped version of it. Dark love. Obsessive love. Unjust love. His love was cruel. His touch was cruel. And he was cruel.

And you were his. No matter how you tried to stop him, you were always going to be his. "Mine," he'd murmur, holding your weak form against his own, carressing your face, "All mine,".

You'd tried to fight him off. But to no avail. You'd lost. Now, the world was going to feel Voldemort's wrath. And he'd start with the figure of twelve-year-old Harry Potter marching into the Chamber of Secrets.

[artisanscoffee]

how to start your story

god, for the love of GOD, do not do the "full name" thing. like, "Katniss Everdeen opened her eyes in the morning sunlight" or "Harry James Potter was the most normal child known to England"

DO NOT start your setting in school, god, please don't. like "(insert mc name) was sitting in math class, bored. little did they know they were about to save the world."

home is an okay place to start your setting. it's questionable, but if you word it just right it can't be bad.

going straight off the bat into action is the BEST thing to read ever, but you've got to do it carefully and make it exactly right or else your story will be a chaotic whirlwind of motion and action, and it'll get confusing and tedious to read.

don't start off your story like a really bad harry potter fanfictionㅡ likeㅡ "y/n was dating the most handsome boy in the schoolㅡ Draco Malfoy. Until they broke up." it's BAD.

don't start with the morning-wake-up style. like: "(name) opened their eyes, blinking in the bright morning sunlight, which was streaming through their open window. it was a very normal monday morning for (name). for now." it's basic and overrated, though if you word it just right maybe you could pull it off.

one-sentence starters. one of my personal favorites, really. it's simple, yet the single statement holds so much power. With that first sentence, the reader will judge your book. I really recommend one-sentence starters, because nobody wants to open a book and see that the first page is really tiny letters crammed close together in a very large, very long paragraph. like this one.

if you're going to do a one-sentence starter, do NOT do something like "he woke up" or "she walked to school". basic and bland. bleh. instead, do something like, "her feet were pounding against the wet dirt, sore and aching with the constant slap of the soles of her shoes hitting the groundㅡ but she wouldn't stop." or "the clicking of his mouse was the only sound in the entire apartment buildingㅡ which made senseㅡ it was only 12. A.M., and he was the only person who knew what was going on."

part two, maybe.

✨️ Twenty Questions for Fic Writers ✨️

Thank you @disgruntledkittenface for tagging me! These questions things are always so fun to read and answer!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

37.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

212 726

3. What fandoms do you write for?

rigt now, 1D and hockey rpf. I've written for harry potter and acotar before though

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

in order; never been a fan of change, but we're still the same, in the pub that we met he's got his arms around you, dream about a summer night, a conversation starter and these arms were made for holding you

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

yes! almost always. for different reasons. as a reader, I always enjoy getting replies to comments I've left. it also motivates me to leave more comments, esp on that author's fics. that's just how I work. and since I like and want that, I assume it's the same for other ppl so I do that to them. it's also bc getting comments sometimes makes my entire day, and it makes me so happy, and I want to let them know that

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i'm not sure i've written anything with an angsty ending? oh wait, two of my older mini fics do. the loss of a friend and what are we now? both have pretty angsty endings, or at least not happy ones. so i'll go with them.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

the rest of them? no, but I prefer happy endings so I think almost all of the rest have. all of my top five kudos ones that I mentioned above are the first ones I'd pick, so take your pick among those. but if I were to pick another one... most of the rest are kinda happy throughout the entire fic and then the ending doesn't feel as happy. so to pick one that's not happy throughout, but has a happy ending, I'll go with maybe we're good, maybe we're not.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no, i don't. i've gotten some rude comments, but that's as far as it's gotten luckily

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

yes, i've written a little. it's still a bit out of my comfort zone though, esp posting it, but i've written some m/m smut of different variants.

10. Do you write crossovers? What the craziest one you've written?

no. or well, technically yes, but it's an abandoned wip that i don't like so that's all you're gonna get about it

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not as far as i'm aware, so i hope not

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

nope. I was part of a round robin, but that got abandoned and I vowed never to do it again. group projects are not my thing 😂

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I don't think I have one. I change favorites so often, so I don't think I can say I've got an all-time fave

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

oh multiple! I have one that I do doubt I'll ever finish but I still hope I will so so much, so I'm not gonna give up on that one just yet. instead, I have one that's even less likely I'll finish. it's a fantasy one, enemies to lovers (I should've known it was doomed already then, that's not my thing), magic that was based around elements. it's main feature is that it has a "who did this to you?" between two ppl who don't like each other, which is something I love. maybe I'll end up publishing only that scene, it can be read as a stand-alone so it's not that bad of an idea actually

16. What are your writing strengths?

dialogue, I think. specifically banter, I think I'm pretty good at that. I always manage to write it in at least and have a lot of fun writing it!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I feel like I write pretty short sentences, making paragraphs sound a bit choppy. I'm also an expert in writing english sentences with swedish grammar, so I feel for my beta that has to correct that shit. esp when the sentence doesn't even make sense in English and it's a guessing game😂

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

if it's important to the plot, then yeah, that could be nice. but it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when i read dialgoue in swedish and it's obvious that the author has used google translate, it bothers me. i'd rather read it in english with an accompanying "says in swedish" rather than the inaccurate translation. but that's probably bc it's my native language. when it's in languages i don't understand i don't have that issue obviously.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

harry potter probably? at least that I posted for, might've written something that I didn't realise was technically for fandom when I was younger

20. Favorite fic you've written?

oh, hm... right now it's probably a tie between does it always end in heartbreak? and maybe we're good, maybe we're not. but that's probably bc those are the latest ones I published. one favorite I always mention is one of the drabbles in the drabble collection snapshots of moments, the one in chapter 11, pretty when you beg

Since this was the first one I saw of these, I'm not sure who has done them, but I'll tag @greenfeelings, @neondiamond, @larrysballetslippers, @lunarheslwt, @sun-lt, @hellolovers13, @zjofierose and @zanniscaramouche. oh and if you see this and want to do this, just say I tagged you because I want to read it!

[vukovich]

20 questions for fic writers!

Thank you @orange-peony @schmem14 and @teledild0nix for tagging me in this game! Sorry it took me eons.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

47. 46 under "Vukovich" and one that's anonymous.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

921,870

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Just Harry Potter.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Crane Lord of Gringotts Beauxtiful Boy "I'll Figure It Out" It'll Come Back Fearful Trill

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

No, as a general rule, I don't. I just feel like it's awkward to treat an AO3 comment as a conversation starter, I guess. Like, if someone wants to talk to me, my email address and Tumblr are in my AO3 bio. I do reply to AO3 comments if there's a question about the fic. Especially if the reader says their first language isn't English. I also will reply for the purpose of harassing friends.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Return to Sender and "I love you, (too/also)" are way up there in the angst department. For "I love you, (too/also)" I actually recorded a podfic of it, and I couldn't read the ending out loud without crying so I scrapped it. NO WAIT!!! I forgot about The Seven Weasley Horcruxes. Oh, Jeebus. Apologies in advance for that one.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably Eagles in Truro, just for the sake of everyone getting to have their polyamorous cake and eat it too.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Yes. Just... yes. Big yes.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yeah, most of my fics are explicit. I'm not really sure what kind of smut I write. I feel like my smut is probably more graphic than some. More jizz dripping on the floor and errant pubes in teeth than what's fandom typical.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

No, I can barely hold the HP universe in my head.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yeah, several of them. I think it's cool as hell. If it's a language I'm familiar with, I help with phrasings and subtext and stuff.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah. I have a WIP collection that people can leave unfinished fics in, and then I finish them. And I'd say when I collaborate with an artist, there's enough back and forth that it counts as co-writing. Oh! And there's a WIP with @oknowkiss and @mintawasalreadytaken I'll eventually get back to writing, I swear, you guys, for real, I will finish that shower piss scene.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Joker/Harley Quinn, actually.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

OMG just one?! I have (briefly leaves to check Google Docs) about 100k in unfinished fics, plus outlines for about ten more. I think those are all going to get dumped as-is on AO3 in an anonymous collection, and I'm only going to finish the ones I'm actively posting (Seahorse, Glitch, 24k9).

16. What are your writing strengths?

Weird turns of phrase, I guess. Or at least that's what people tell me. I feel like I'm pretty good at not bogging down the pace with descriptions, but some people like to know the threadcount when they read smut. Honestly, I have way more strengths as an editor than as a writer.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Complete disregard for the em dash. If I were meant to use it, it would have a key on the standard QWERTY keyboard. I even bought an expensive-ass keyboard, programmed an em dash key for it, and still didn't use it. It wasn't meant to be. Who would like to buy a very fancy keyboard? I will also die on my double-spacing at the end of sentences hill. Going down with this typewriter skills ship. Maybe YOUR language evolves over time, but mine's stuck in 1987.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

That's one of my favorite puzzles. How comprehensible can I make the foreign language excerpt solely through the use of cognates and cues? Love it. 10/10.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

HP

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

My most masterful works of fiction are letters of recommendation. But this sonnet is fun.

Tagging everybody already tagged, as well as @peachpety @@epitomereally @tontonguetonks @diligent-thunder @wheezykat @lou-ifyouwant @corvuscrowned

[findroleplay]

Hi! I am Dork (22yo) and I'm currently searching for new roleplay partners (around 4 or so). I write from the EST timezone. I don't roleplay with minors!

MY LITERACY

The way I roleplay depends on my partner but it will always be third person, past tense format. I can write one liner all the way up to multipara (8 to 12 paragraphs, 7 to 10 sentences each). It just depends on what my partner prefers since I match length. Because of this, I tend to like it when my partner starts our role plays so I dont scare or disappoint with the length of my starter.

MY RESPONSE RATE

My response rate is typically a few times a day to a few times a week. I am a working parent and prefer to keep this as a hobby rather than a lifestyle. If you are not okay with that, that is fine. We are just not compatible. I don't mind being pinged for response reminders and actually like to be pinged after my partner responds so I don't forget and remember to check for responses.

WHAT I ROLEPLAY

I do any and every genre but there are a few I hold more special than others. I typically love slice of life, modern, fantasy, and horror roleplays (including dead dove in all of these). I have plenty of ORIGINAL plots for you to choose from so don't feel bad coming empty handed. As far as FANDOMS go, I am only looking for HARRY POTTER, JJK, OR KPOP-RELATED FANDOM ROLEPLAYS. When It comes to characters and pairing, I roleplay any gender but prefer for the pairings to be same-sex or same-gender related. I can also do hetero or hetero-passing relationships!

I roleplay on Discord & Email! please like if youre interested (:

MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?: Anakin/Vader & Nathan. Sometimes Jax. He's fickle.

RP PET PEEVES?: People who talk to friends less, in favor of newer ones. This goes fo rp partners too. People who think if you message them to take accountability for something you did wrong to them, that you are stalking them. People tend to follow the same people in fandoms. Having too many replies to do / Having not enough replies to do. Yankee fans who bash the best infielder on their team, when he's not perfect. Fandoms still arguing over the same BS, twenty years later. Yes I'm talking Brucas/Leyton. I'm Team Naley and also Brooke/Nathan. People who don't understand explaining why a villain does bad things does not mean I think it was right. People who refuse to admit that Anakin Skywalker is a HUGE part of Star Wars. People who want to make tragedies happy. People who can't accept that some people like canon.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?: Um well, I started rping a soap opera on invisionfree in 2007, Tumblr in 2011 and indie rping in 2016. I have played Glee characters, The Vampire Diaries, tons of time in the Marauders Era of Harry Potter, Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones, Vikings, Versailles, Star Wars, American Horror Story, The Umbrella Academy, One Tree Hill, and I'm sure I'm missing some. I don't write many OC's. I had one in the Marauders Era, but really, that's it. I've also adminned probably 20 tumblr RPs, had 4 last over 2 years. I messed around with indie a tiny bit in 2013, but I hated the idea of switching to icons so I refused until there were no SOA rps and I made an Indie Jax Teller.

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT?: Angst and Smut and angsty smut. Fluff, it has to be the right ship and I do better if I have an angsty thread too. I can do more fluff with a ship like Naley than most of my others.

PLOTS OR MEMES?: Both. I am honestly up for either one, depending on my mood. If your meme sits too long and you want to plot, just message me.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?: I can write anywhere from 2-40 paragraphs. I'll do one for the write person. But, I don't do sentence replies. I really have some people and characters, I can write novels on.

TIME TO WRITE?: Um lately, I've been trying to more. School kicks my ass. I'm in my Senior Year for my Bachelor's in Education and even though it's going to last 2 years, I have all the classes I put off. But, I have been trying to do at least five a day. Like right now, I have no replies to do. I have starters but no replies. If I get back on the right sleep pattern, I can crank out 30 replies at 7am. Other than the last two weeks, I can reply a lot on Discord.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?: God, I hope not. But, the stubbornness and reactiveness of Anakin, Jax, James and Nathan is definitely similar. I'm a Taurus. I don't kill people though. I do threaten to throat punch people who talk shit on my favorite baseball player, though.

TAGGED BY: I stole it.

TAGGING: @mayxthexforce, @story1ines, @burnnouts, @cagedpotential, @petitsdieu, @taliaromanova, @writtenxbeginnings, @nieithryn, @xx--ofmanythoughts--xx

➤ @oracle-venus asked: ’ Oh, you look so… so… ’ (( from harry))

   Hermione's brow rose. She looks so... what? He couldn't just say that to her and not finish that sentence! She had a book in her hand — nothing new there — and it was just the pair of them. Ronald decided to go play more tonsil tennis with Lavender, and if she was honest, she was past caring.

   ❝Look so... what, Harry?❞ Hermione finally spoke, brown eyes meeting green. She wanted that answer, for Merlin's sake! ❝I... I don't think I look any differently.❞ No, he wasn't trying to be insulting, she knew that, but the way he just wasn't getting to the point had her teeth digging into her lip. Since when did Harry Potter's opinion matter so much to her, anyway? Best friend, obviously but... his opinion mattered.

What a swallow (the bird) is thought to mean (source https://www.onthefeeder.com/) 

In general, seeing a swallow or having one nest near your home is said to be lucky.

Sailors they knew they were close to home when they saw swallows in the sky (they only fly near land). Some sailors thought swallows could bring a drowned sailor’s soul to heaven. 

The Romans believed swallows were sacred birds that carried the souls of dead children. In Christianity the swallow represents the coming of spring due to its return to the skies in early spring.

Native American symbolism regarded the swallow as a representation of modesty and hard work. One tale involves the swallow stealing fire from the sun to bring to humans, causing the bird’s tail to split. 

In Harry Potter if your Patronus is a swallow, you believe in happy endings. Members of Slytherin house often have a swallow as a Patronus because they believe the birds are representations of passion and a drive to win.

In Japan, the swallow represented the arrival of spring. It is a symbol of good luck, fertility, and fidelity. The Greeks believed deities could change their form into a swallow. They associated the swallow with Aphrodite as it was believed to bring happiness in love.

.

Swallows were a sign of luck, Alyssa always told him that. But they would need more than luck to win this war. 

. “You can’t bribe the children into swallowing the cough medicine!”  “I’m pretty sure I just did.”  “That’s not how parenting works, Daemon.”  “But it did work!” 

.

Daemon grinned as Aegon swallowed the bite of mashed peas. He was finally getting the hang of this fatherhood thing, Rhaenyra would be proud when she got home.

.

It was hard, wanting a baby when your partner didn’t. Daemon thought she was too young—so he watched her swallow a little white pill from the pink packet every day.  [optional: What he didn't see, was her spitting them out as soon as he turned away.]

.

Every night before bed she swallowed the pill to help her sleep. Daemon had insisted upon it ever since they got married. 

.

She didn’t like the taste–but she knew it was a sin to waste it. She was so grateful, that Daemon helped her—tilting her chin back and holding her jaw until she had swallowed every bit of his seed,  

.

“Do you spit or swallow?” was the question posed to the group of them playing truth or dare. Rhaenyra dodged the question, because it was embarrassing, admitting that she didn’t know. 

.

Maybe this position was boring to some, but Daemon would never tire of it. It gave him a perfect view of his niece’s greedy little cunt, which was stretched so prettily around his cock. It clung on desperately to his length when he pulled out—then swallowed it to the hilt when he thrust back in.

RATTLESNAKESHINE. private & selective dual-muse blog for two fallout based ocs. 21+ only.

carrd. graphics by babs. mobile rules under the cut.

my name is grunk, pronouns are he/him, and i'm 30 years old.

NO MINORS. i'll block anyone under 21 who follows. it's just for my own comfort. i'll also block anyone with harry potter muses and/or verses.

i will not follow: minors, those without any kind of rules or info readily available, bigots of any kind (including but not limited to TERFs, racists, zionists, antisemites, ableists, and homophobes), those with inaccessible blogs, and people with generally nasty vibes and attitudes. i'm all about peace and love.

i'm selective and private, meaning i'll only interact with people i'm in a mutual following with. it might take me a while to follow back.

i don't jive with reply length requirements. i can write a couple of sentences or several long paragraphs, it just depends on what's needed for the reply. i don't expect length to be matched, but i do expect effort to be matched.

i can be slow. if patience with replies isn't your strong suit, we may not be suited to write together. i'm pretty chill about most things, so you can take all the time in the world to get back to me, ic or ooc.

please don't write me passive starters. i will not respond to them. if you're not sure what to write, it's all good. you can come talk to me to figure it out, or just don't do it at all. i won't be bothered either way.

i'm very much a fan of fallout. that said, i'm not shy about how much i dislike fo3 & 4, particularly 4. if that bothers you, please don't follow me. i love the show and don't really have much criticism for it. i do play 76 regularly (ask for my psn if we've gotten to know each other), it's very fun, but i still think it's a terrible fallout game.

feel free to send me all the memes you want. i may not respond to them because i tend to just not do them, but don't take that as a sign that i don't like you or don't want to write with you.

i'm cool doing pre-established relationships, but DM me first so we can make sure we're on the same page.

i'm open to shipping, but neither of these guys are cut out for your traditional fluffy and domestic ships. they've also got a thing for each other, so poly ships with both of them are preferred.

there will be mature content consistent to what's shown in the fallout series. most potentially triggering content will be tagged, but i won't tag mentions or descriptions of violence, death, or gore, given how heavily present they are in the series. i will tag all images.

graphics made by babs. i highly recommend them.

how to start your story

pt.2 because y'all asked for it :)

I think the "most normal and bland character" structure is really overused. let's take Narnia for example. one of my favorites, personally. Lucy and her siblings are very normal. Well, perhaps not entirely, since they're in a f*cking war. but anyway, they don't know what the hell's going on in that old man's house until they come upon the wardrobe and open a fantasy world where they become the rulers of it. excellent! main characters centered in a somewhat chaotic time that escape to safety, then stumble into danger again.

continuing with the previous bullet, you can take Harry Potter for example. he started out as a skinny shrimp from Privet Drive that got his ass beat by his cousin until he became the savior of the f*cking wizarding world and the most famous guy on the planet.

plunging straight into danger is always a good one. if you're going to do this one, give your character no time to be a normal person and send them straight into their adventure without hesitation. for example: "(Character) had to run or they'd be dead." or "There was no time for me to stop and wait. (*Insert side character's name*) must have been sixteen yards behind me, but I couldn't stop and I trusted he/she wouldn't either. if either of us stopped, we would both end up dead." or "I was fighting for my life. The currents constantly swept over me and the boat was far ahead, and I was sure there was some sort of impending doom swirling in the deep ocean beneath me, but I had to keep swimming. I knew I'd die if I didn't."

One-word starters. like the one-sentence starter I mentioned earlier. It could make your story so much better or completely f*ck it up, so you've got to be super careful-- first, make sure it's riveting. it's got to have a certain vibe or aura to it that makes the reader completely absorbed in the story. Like, "Blue." and follow it up with. "That was the color of the sky. Piercing blue-- and it was the most beautiful *character* had ever seen. or you can do something like, "Rain." and follow it up with: "that's all I heard when I came to."
