[iamnmbr3]

i love your taste in hp fics. what have you been reading lately?

why thank you! :) here you go!

Heart of Emeralds by Phantomato (words: 10,200 | rating: T | Regulus Black/Tom Riddle | Major Character Death)

The locket horcrux has his own agenda: reunite the soul, rejoin the main body. When Regulus’ defection gives him an opportunity to set this in motion, he finds himself relying on Regulus’ questionable loyalty.

The customer is always right by Metalomagnetic (words: 7,200 | gen | unrated)

In the summer of 1945, Caractacus Burke hires a new assistant to help with the shop. His son doesn't know what to make of Tom Riddle, the young charismatic man that doesn't seem to mind working hard for just a handful of coins.

Inhuman Resources by Asenora (words: 4,210 | rating: G | gen)

Speaking from the fire in the Gryffindor Common Room, Sirius Black will assure his godson that Dolores Umbridge is definitely not a Death Eater. How does he know? Well, he's seen the paper trail...

of all my demon spirits by basketofnovas (slashmarks) (words: 1,730 | rating: T | Gen)

After the end of term, Ginny gets a new diary and struggles with the events of her first year.

The Shack at the End of the Lane by Asenora (words: 4,156 | rating: G | gen)

It was an unconventional choice, on the part of the universe, to make Tom Riddle's victims meet his mother the moment they arrived in the afterlife.

Gilderoy Lockhart: Dabbling with Dark Lords by Math_and_Lunacy (words: 1,826 | unrated | gen)

He didn’t know who this Harry Potter person was, but surely Potter wasn’t half as brave and heroic as Gilderoy. Where, after all, were the series of books detailing Harry Potter’s adventures? Where were Potter’s fans?

Amulette d'amour by The_Carnivorous_Muffin, Vinelle (words: 97,035 | Tom Riddle/Alphard Black | unrated)

Tom is commissioned to repair a magical amulet.

Escape by SofiaDragon (words: 50,231 | rating: M | Gen)

Harry Potter reacts much differently to the Dementor attack on his cousin and it causes a cascade of changes in the lives of everyone he knows. He runs away to France to escape the English Ministry's bias and gets a solicitor (lawyer) to deal with his legal issues. Part one of a book 5 and on re-write that can be read stand-alone. Featuring: Snape's POV. People making decisions for Harry without talking to him about it first. The Horcrux in his head influencing Harry's mind. Professional psychologists/mind healers doing good work. Snape using cannibus. He would not go back to Privet Drive without bringing the law. He’d lose his temper and end up in Azkaban. Even with aurors at his back, he was likely to hex dear old Tuney into next week if he had to interact with her again. The fines would be worth it.

next up in my ffvii character pokemon teams is reeve. he's just a normal businessman nothing to see here

as always, details below

ok first of all, I just think this is hilarious: I did not edit this sprite at all. this is just straight up a clerk from gen v. suit and tie? check. dark hair? check. running on not enough sleep and far too much caffeine? check. no changes needed

species: banette

ability: cursed body

item: spell tag

moves: poltergeist, facade, role play, destiny bond

ok so some Deep Lore about reeve is that he can control cait sith because he is an "inspire." to my knowledge this is only ever mentioned in supplemental material and there is not much detail at all on how this works or how common it is or... anything. wondering if they will address this in remake part 3.

banette is a marionette pokemon. now I know what you're gonna say. when you think about ffvii and puppets, reeve is NOT the character who comes to mind. I initially considered golurk or golem for a pokemon named inspire because a golem is a perfect fit as a being animated from inorganic matter. BUT neither of them really have movesets that are fitting, so I went with banette instead.

facade and role play represent how reeve hides his identity behind cait sith and acts very differently than he does irl. destiny bond I guess is because it doesn't super matter if cait sith dies because reeve can send a new one

species: persian (alolan form)

ability: fur coat

item: loaded dice

moves: foul play, fury swipes, switcheroo, parting shot

here he is. the little guy himself. I chose alolan persian because he's got a bit of a dark side, and also because he looks a lil silly with his round noggin and big kitty cheeks. the ability fur coat is just because he's a cat, I didn't consider what it actually does at all lol.

the loaded dice item is a reference to his dice limit break in og as well as his roll o the dice ability in rebirth (which I assume is based on the og limit break anyway). in general many of cait sith's abilities and attacks are rng-dependent.

fury swipes is just a move that works well with the loaded dice, but fits the cat theme too. I chose foul play and switcheroo because of cait's shenanigans with the keystone

species: clefable

ability: magic guard

item: sticky barb

moves: moonblast, metronome, misty explosion, trick

clefable is much cuter than cait sith's moogle, but it's a chunkier fairy with lil wings on its back so I liked it for this.

the sticky barb is not super specifically linked to anything in particular, but cait sith has a bunch of tricks up his sleeve so it seemed like something he'd do.

metronome is another nod to how much cait sith's moves depend on rng, and you could even say it specifically represents his moogle magic ability in rebirth, where he uses an ability from his equipped summon. I chose misty explosion due to the moogle kaboom ability, where the moogle just fucking explodes when it leaves. trick is another nod to cait sith stealing the keystone

species: exploud

ability: scrappy

item: throat spray

moves: boomburst, uproar, disarming voice, roar

hp shout is cait sith's ultimate weapon in ffvii, although really I chose exploud more generally because all of cait sith's weapons are megaphones. the item and moves are all sound-based. not much to it other than that tbh

species: conkeldurr

ability: guts

item: flame orb

moves: facade, hammer arm, brick break, bulldoze

if anyone saw the name of this conkeldurr and had a fight or flight response, never fear - I'm not bringing gackt into this. yet. the world regenesis organization is basically the government or whatever that steps in after the events of ffvii when shinra is pretty much toast. and reeve is in charge. conkeldurr is kinda weird, but I chose it both because the wro is working to rebuild after meteor and because reeve was the director of urban planning in shinra.

the move facade is similar to the theme I went with for some of his other pokemon, since reeve kinda hides behind cait sith for a lot of his taking action. the other three moves are just based on construction-related tools, materials, and activities

species: blacephalon

ability: beast boost

item: air balloon

moves: mind blown, shadow ball, psyshock, trick

the gold saucer is cait sith's stomping grounds. blacephalon is just a silly little guy and a clown, which seemed fitting for an amusement park. he's carrying around a balloon for a similar reason. the balloons in the gold saucer in rebirth are so freakin cute.

mind blown could be based on the fireworks at the gold saucer, but I could also point to the moogle kaboom ability again, just for fun. trick again for more item snatching.

next up should be vincent. in the meantime, other characters are found here

[t1oui]

since nuna (neville x luna) are and have been one of my otps since i first became part of the hp fandom, whenever i write next gen lorcan and lysander scamander are actually lorcan and lysander longbottom and they're neville and luna's kids. but recently i had an idea for the twins that i love even more

so whenever i write next gen, lorcan and lysander also have a younger sister named alice who's 6 years younger than them. in my head, alice looks a lot like neville and the twins both look mostly like luna. i also have an oc named ivan scamander who is rolf and hannah abbott's, and he's 3 years younger than the twins.

so what if, instead of the twins being neville's from the start, they're from luna's first marriage to rolf?

luna and rolf meet and become friends when rolf returns to hogwarts for his eighth year. they get married soon after graduation, even though they're mostly just good friends. they have the twins together and when the twins are a year old, they end up divorcing.

pretty soon after rolf and hannah meet at the leaky cauldron and start talking. to be honest, hannah getting pregnant is sort of a surprise, and rolf definitely shows up at luna's in a panic when he finds out. he and hannah end up deciding to keep the kid though, aka ivan scamander.

around the same time that ivan is born, luna and neville run into each other at some event or something and start talking again. they write letters back and forth about plants and theories and the latest edition of the quibbler before neville finally works up the courage to ask her out (with a lot, and i mean a lot, of encouragement from harry and ginny) and they start dating. they get married after 2 years and alice is born another year later.

all of that is to say, lorcan and lysander are ivan's half siblings and also have a younger half-sister named alice, and i think that's great

honestly i see rolf as sort of a mess, especially with this au, so he may or may not also get divorced from hannah at some point. idk who he'd date after that - i'm thinking one of the background hufflepuff boys (justin, ernie, or zacharias)

anyway this was very random but yeah here are some headcanons ig

The Three Broomsticks Pride Fest

Attention pub patrons, Madam Rosmerta is utterly delighted to announce The Three Broomsticks Pride Fest! This fest is all about celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, and we welcome any writers old and new to join in the fun! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

But Rosmerta, how do you write canon-compliant fics about LBGTQ+ characters when there’s no explicit representation of that community in the books?

I’m glad you asked! TTB is a canon-compliant Discord server and therefore hosts canon-compliant fests; however, that’s not meant to be restrictive. Just because a character is not stated to be gay or asexual or nonbinary doesn’t mean they’re not! All that canon-compliance means at TTB is that the fic doesn’t alter canon events, including endgame pairings mentioned in the epilogue.

Here are some examples of LGBTQ+ characterisations and ships that would be considered canon-compliant by TTB definition (these aren’t prompts or an exhaustive list by any means, just some examples):

Harry, Ginny, Hermione, or Ron discovering bisexuality later in life (men and women being married isn’t inherently heterosexual, afterall)

A next gen character being trans or nonbinary

Asexual Charlie Weasley

Same-sex ships that don’t alter endgame couples; there are too many to list, but here’s a few: Dean/Seamus, Minerva/Poppy, Sirius/Remus, Lavender/Parvati, Katie/Alicia, Albus/Scorpius

Harry and Hermione having a conversation/realisation about Grindeldore

Everyone has their own slightly different definitions of canon-compliancy, so if you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to send us an ask or reach out to any mod. We also encourage you to join our Discord server (click here to join), which is active during and between fests with mini-events, writing chats, an HP book club, and general shenanigans.

Fest submissions will be due in late May and posting will begin on June 1st (see important dates below for more details).

🌈 Rules:

At least one LGBTQ+ character must be prominently featured

Submissions must be canon-compliant (see FAQs below for more details!)

Each submission should be at least 1000 words

No sexual content featuring minors (this doesn’t include kissing or vague references with no actual description)

🌈 Important Dates:

May 26th – submission deadline

May 29th – writers informed when their fic(s) will be revealed

June 1st – first fic is revealed

🌈 FAQ:

What counts as canon-compliant?

Canon-compliancy has a broad scope and we’re not here to gatekeep! For the purposes of this fest, we consider the Harry Potter books 1-7 as canon and the “end game” pairings. The rest is up to you - for example, if you wish to write a post-Hogwarts story, you do not have to take Cursed Child or post-Potter interview information as canon if you don’t want to, but you should follow the pairings established in the epilogue.

Can I submit a multi-chapter?

You can absolutely submit the start of a new multi-chapter; however, you cannot submit a new chapter from an already published WIP.

How should I submit?

Submit to the AO3 collection and/or to Tumblr with the following information:

Title:

Author:

Main Character(s):

Pairing(s):

Rating:

Warning(s):

If you are submitting to our collection, it will be private and anonymous until we release your story.

How long will the fest go? What days of the week will fics be posted?

That depends on how many we get! After all fics are submitted, the mods will make a schedule, and we will contact you on May 29th to let you know when you can expect your fic to go up. The first fic will for sure be up on June 1st though!

I have another question!

No problem! Drop us an ask and we’ll get back to you.

HP Next Generation Appreciation Week 2024 - Days 1 & 2

Hi everyone! I was busy yesterday, so I decided to combine my first and second entries for @endlessly-cursed's HP Next Gen appreciation week event.

Day one covers an OC belonging to you that you consider your favorite. I just have my boy Brian Haywood-Reese, so I will share a bit on what I like about him. He's been a quidditch aficionado since he was little. Young Brian has watched the games, kept memorabilia, and had dreams of playing for Hogwarts and later for a pro team when he grows up. He is a big believer in good sportsmanship and teamwork, ready to help people in need and very loyal to his mates. However, that also makes it easier for him to be swayed by bullies and rivals who play dirty into doing things such as unsanctioned races out of pressure to preserve his good name. Brian was afraid of his reputation being destroyed by rumors and gossip, so he fell for such challenges. However, he learns to stand up for himself more and is dedicated to building his own strengths and academics, becoming more confident in the process.

Today focuses on another person's OC that is your favorite. My choice has got to be my good friend @mjs-oc-corner/@clovermunson's Alyssa Lockwood. Not only is she the love of Brian's life, she's very driven to learn while looking out for her family and friends. Alyssa can stay at something for a while, whether it be class or being there for someone feeling down. A compassionate and kindhearted Ravenclaw, she also has a beautiful cat named Star with white fur who can be very soft and soothing. Alyssa fervently supports her friends in their endeavors, and you can always count on her if you need a friend to study with or just cheer you on. She may get deep into her work and seem distant from other things going on around her, but it’s never out of ill-intent and Alyssa has just as much fun getting out and spending time in the nice warm weather on a sunny day.

river st. james & richard beck | hp next gen

this is not part of the ongoing next gen event but i decided to post this little video since river also deserves some attention and we haven't focused on beck and river's relationship nearly as much as we have on rome and baby's. so they're here now. low key problematic but in the best way possible in my opinion 🙊

river belongs to @gaygryffindorgal

GOODBYE, MY LOVE

STATUS: Complete; 1 chapter (2 parts).

FANDOM: Wizarding World » Harry Potter (Next Gen).

GENRES: Short Story, Family, Slice of Life.

COUNT: 1,154 words.

SHIPS: Arthur/Molly, Harry/Ginny (mentioned).

CAST: Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley.

ACCOLADE ― JUDGES’ PICK: WINNING ENTRY.

HOST: [FFnet] The Houses Competition.

CATEGORY: [Y4R8] Prompt.

PROMPT: [Prompt] Saying goodbye to a loved one.

WARNING ― character death.

The Burrow had been quiet and empty ever since Molly Weasley’s youngest child, Ginny, left the house to live with her husband, Harry Potter, in London. She could still count the years since the chatters had gone with the wind; all the kids were grown up and gone, venturing out into the world towards the unlimited opportunities waiting for them out there… Just like how birds would leave the nest to spread their wings and fly towards the open, blue sky. Molly knew she should feel proud of her children, each armed with the talent, knowledge, and skills that would help them to succeed in their respective areas. However, she’d be lying if a part of her didn’t want to let them go, forever seeing them as her little tykes whom she would smother with all the motherly love she could ever give.

Now, only the enchanted family clock was left behind with her, showing the current status of her loved ones at all times… except for one. Fred’s clock-hand has been permanently stuck at ‘lost’ since his death at the Battle of Hogwarts many years ago, and she couldn’t bring herself to remove his portrait from the clock. It was a loss she could never come to terms with, even after such a long time; the hand was the only thing left in the house to remind her of Fred, that he was never really gone.

Fred’s clock-hand wasn’t the only thing that left a gaping hole in Molly’s chest. Her eyes glanced at another portrait that would shatter her fragile heart into a million pieces. People would die one day, she knew that, but logic did nothing to calm the despair eddying inside her trembling body. She wasn’t sure if she could go on like this to watch someone dying in front of her again, especially when the person was someone she loved so deeply.

Closing her eyes to fight back her tears, she finally turned her back on the clock—at the clock-hand of her husband, Arthur, pointing at ‘mortal peril’.

The high-pitched creaking echoed up the staircase as Molly made her way towards Arthur’s bedroom, balancing a tray of food cautiously with her wand. Her hands were shaking too much to carry it manually; she had to grip the handrail to steady herself, fearing that she would fall off if she took a misstep. Maybe it was the old age that made her breathless when she finally reached the door to Arthur’s room, or maybe it was her welling sadness that tired her out while trying to suppress the feeling.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her free hand to knock on the door.

“I’m coming in, Arthur.”

The door opened to the view of an old man seated in a rocking armchair, who turned his head to Molly when she entered the room with the food tray. The wrinkles on his face deepened as the corner of his cracked lips lifted up into a smile, then his lips parted to croak out a word, “Molly.”

Arthur Weasley was beyond recognition from how he used to look like. Aging had taken a serious toll on the former Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office: his signature bright red hair was gone, and only a few wisps of white strands remained on his almost bald head. His once tall, lean build was now reduced to a shrunken, bony figure; his fair complexion had lost its original luster, now merely wrinkled skin that appeared dry and brown under the setting sun that streamed through the open window.

“Merlin’s beard, Arthur!” Molly exclaimed, setting down the tray hurriedly on the bedside table and rushed towards the rocking armchair. “How many times have I told you to stay in bed? You shouldn’t be moving around so much—”

“My dear Molly,” her husband interrupted; the twinkle in his blue eyes did not falter even with his declining health condition. “What is coming will come, whether we like it or not. I know.” Molly instantly grabbed a shaky hand that poked out from under the blanket on Arthur’s lap. Before she could open her mouth, her husband stopped her with a hacking cough before he went on, “The time is near… isn’t it?”

"No, no… Arthur, please. Don’t say it.”

He shook his head slowly and continued to smile. “I’m… dying.”

Molly was finding it harder to fight back the tears in her eyes, her vision blurring as the fear of losing Arthur threatened to overwhelm her. No, she wanted to scream, but nothing came out except quiet sobs. No, you can’t do this to me!

“Look… at me, Molly.”

She wiped away her tears and complied, her brown gaze locking with Arthur’s blue ones. The very thought of losing her husband to Death terrified her, so why did he seem so peaceful, brave, with no ounce of fear in the eyes that still shone with vitality, even as his body was deteriorating with each passing day?

“Don’t look… so sad,” he wheezed, lifting his wizened hand slowly to touch Molly’s cheek. “Death is inevitable… It’s something we must accept, instead of running away from it. Fearing the unavoidable… won’t change anything.”

Molly felt his finger slipping off her jawline, and she grasped his hand in hers. “But, Arthur…”

“If anything, the Battle of Hogwarts taught us many important lessons. Harry and Ron have told me a little about… Voldemort.” There was bitterness in the last word he uttered. “He never knew, understood, and felt true love. He believed that power was everything in the world… that love was what made people weak. He thought that love would drive people to death and that it was pathetic, so he was afraid of dying. He closed his heart and committed numerous horrifying crimes… to run away from all the things he didn't want to face.”

“He was wrong.”

“Yes,” Arthur breathed, and his voice was becoming softer—weaker. “Power and love… are part of the same double-edged sword. Power can make us physically stronger… but our hearts susceptible to temptations. Love can drive us into despair when it’s lost… but it can also strengthen us beyond our imagination if we understand its meaning and value in our life.”

He turned to his sobbing wife with a small smile. “Don’t… blame yourself for Fred’s death, Molly. He may be gone from the world, but he’s forever in here.”

His hand slithered out of Molly’s grasp and pointed a trembling finger at her chest.

“And I… will always be in your heart, too.”

“A-Arthur?”

Then his hand landed with a thud beside him on the armchair seat, and his wheezing voice was barely more than a hoarse whisper.

“Goodbye… my love.”

Molly let out a sharp gasp at her husband’s last rattling breath, and the light in his blue eyes went out with the final heartbeat in his chest.

“Arthur!”

The Harry Potter Reboot

-----------------------------

*I'm not a JK fan/supporter*

-----------------------------

So the first thing I'm going to says it's that in my opinion this reboot it's unnecessary. I can understand that they might be doing this to present the saga to the new generations but the the movies are not even that old and they still very popular, so I don't see the point.

Also I saw that someone said that JK was probably making this reboot to "erase" the original cast from the franchise since Emma and Daniel said that they will not return to play their roles again if JK is still involved on the project, so it makes sense that they want to bring new faces that represent the franchise but even then it's still unnecessary to do a reboot they could try to tell new stories like the first magic war with the maraunders or of the black family or even the Tom Riddle era because even though I love the next generation I don't see a way to tell a story about them since Voldemort is already defeded and the war is over so if they wanted to tell a story about the next gen they will have to bring another villan (a good one, that doesn't relate with Voldemort or Grindelwald) with another purpose to create problems cause if they don't they will just going to make a movie about teenage drama in Hogwarts, so without a next gen movie, they don't have to bring back the original cast.

The fans have literally begged for new stories and for them to expand the HP universe (especially for a maraunders movie)

But JK and Warner are literally like:

Now the thing is, how are they going to make the reboot?

In my opinion they have two options

1) use the story of the books exactly as it's in the books

By doing this they play safe but still take the risk that people might find boring to watch the same story that they already know how it ends over again (remember that this show is not only for the fans, it's also for the general public).

And that brings the second option

2) keep the main plot (the war) but take creative freedoms with the rest of the story

That's the other thing...

In the show they might change the story in order to keep the people's interest in the show, so the story we already know might not be the one we would see on the screen.

What I mean with this?

I think they will respect the main plot (yk the war against Voldemort and the events that happened) but change other stuff like killing characters that originally live and make some of the ones that did died live or even the way that they got kill, maybe even the individual stories of some characters or the way some things happen.

(I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN, I'M JUST SAYING ITS A POSSIBILITY SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE REMEMBER THIS IS JUST MY OPINION)

The problem if this happens is the possibility that the show canon might became the main canon leaving the book's canon aside for future projects.

I think it's times like this where we should question ourselves

You know what made that white fandom mom in my last post who acted like I was her child finally decide to cut ties with me bc I was an evil and mean little bitch?

She was obsessed with this idea of a H*rry P*tter (before JKR went mask off with the TERF thing, but still) next-gen RP collaborative writing game based on that right-wing rally in Charlottesville, but replace all the real aspects with HP counterparts, and I told her that as a non-Jewish white woman, it would be awful and not her place to take an event that harmed real Jewish people and POC, esp Black people, and turn it into a fun playground for her fictional wizard shit, and she got so mad and doubled down even after multiple POC and Jewish people publicly agreed with me and told her not to do it, and later, she found comfort in other whites (and one token WOC who was a Tr*mp supporter?) saying she did nothing wrong and I was the real racist (lol), and then the final straw was when she was being a moralizing bully over stupid shit towards other people and I told her to knock it off lol
