Summary:

January 2004: Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are two of the finest Seekers in England, deadly rivals and secret lovers.

As far as Draco is concerned, that's how it'll stay forever. He is betrothed to beautiful heiress Astoria Greengrass, and they are due to have a big summer wedding.

Everything changes during a hotly fought Arrows versus Wimbourne game when Draco falls from his broom. To his huge shock, when Draco awakes in St Mungo's, he discovers he is pregnant.

What will Draco do, now everything in his tidily compartmentalised life has to change?

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆  

Excerpt:

“Percy and George were gossiping over Sunday dinner,” Potter said quietly. Standing up, he took two paces forward so he was looming over Draco. Then he crouched down so that they were eye to eye with one another. “Trying to guess who’d fathered the baby. They kept making stupid, coarse suggestions, just to score cheap laughs. I wanted to punch them both. Wanted to tell them it was my fucking kid they were insulting. I got so close, Malfoy. I could feel the words on the edge of my tongue.”

Draco’s heart hammered in his chest. A shouted declaration over the Weasley dinner table was exactly the sort of drama he categorically did not want.

“Did you tell them?” Draco asked, his voice equally soft.

“No. ’Mione got there first. She called them a pair of thick-skulled narrow-minded morons,” Potter answered. There was the trace of a smile playing at the edge of his lips. “Said you had every right to have a baby if you wanted. Said that it shouldn’t matter if you liked men.” Potter closed the space between them, moving so close that Draco could feel each of his lover’s words as a hot breath of air on his skin. “You can’t wish this away, Malfoy. You’re pregnant. We need to make plans. Work out how we’re telling people.”

On that last word, Harry tilted his face, and found Draco’s lips with his own.

His kiss was passionate, and claiming, and Draco let himself melt onto it, the prickle of his lover’s formidable magic noticeable against his skin. They’d been kissing for six years but, every single time, the rightness of their coupling stuck Draco anew. Potter was the only person in Draco’s life that saw him for who he truly was. Potter wrapped one arm around Draco, and tangled the other in his hair.

When Potter broke their kiss, Draco chased his lover’s lips, hungering for more. “I won’t go away,” Potter told him. “You’re carrying my baby, and I want to be a part of their life. I thought it’d be best to tell Mackenzie first, in case I have to skip any of our big fixtures.”

Draco felt like he’d been doused in freezing water.

The government has had enough of him.

I've tought about this the whole day so I'll just leave it here lol

I watched the videoclip of Learn to fly by Foo Fighters, which to be honest isn't one of my favourite songs of theirs...

But the video...

That video is SOMETHING

Idk if you've ever seen it, but it's really worth watching - basicly it takes place on an airliner, where a couple of cleaners are smuggling drugs and for fear of being discovered they hide them in the coffee pot, then the flight assistant makes the coffee and lot of passengers (pilots included) drink it, leading to obvious consequences

When I saw this scene my mind went out XD

Now a bit of culture cause I need it

The band members here play themselves and lot of other roles which, united to Airplane! and Airport '75 & '77 references (both interesting movies), played a decisive role in allowing this clip won the Grammy Awards' best short form video in 2001

[babblzoom]

Now, I'm lookin' to the sky to save me Lookin' for a sign of life Lookin' for somethin' to help me burn out bright And I'm lookin' for a complication Lookin' cause I'm tired of lyin' Make my way back home when I learn to fly high

Upgrade

Fifth week of my Video Game Genre Guides!

Logo by my friend Upgrade! This is a style of game that condenses the traditional loop of games into 2 phases. The first of these phases is a gameplay phase, where you play the game to earn money. The second phase is the upgrade phase, where you spend the money earned to improve the gameplay in different ways. Upgrade games focus on a repetitive cycle of this gameplay, sometimes with exponentially increasing progress to keep the player engaged. Here's what that would look like on a Genre Tree!

Surprise! This is the first "parent-less" genre we've covered! This means there aren't any genre this is a sub-genre of, or any umbrella "meta-genres" either! Here's 5 Upgrade games (in no particular order) and how I would categorize, or "tag", them in pink!

Upgrade, Launch Number 1 is Learn to Fly 2! Upgrade and Launch game have tons of overlap, and Learn to Fly 2 might be my favorite. A super fun snowy launch game from my childhood that showcases both genres off well!

Upgrade, 2D Auto Runner, Endless Runner, Racing // Virtual Pet, One Button Runner Number 2 is DuckLife! Another childhood classic of mine, DuckLife is an upgrade game where the upgrading and gameplay takes place as training your pet duck in different auto runner/endless runner gameplay to have them compete in races. Super fun, cute, and nostalgic game that's pretty quick and simple to beat!

Upgrade, Scrolling Shooter Number 3 is Bloons Super Monkey! A super underrated spin-off of the iconic bloons franchise, Bloons Super Monkey deserves more attention! Seeing how the upgrades add to your super monkey and just how many bloons you can pop is immensely satisfying.

Upgrade, Vertical Launch Number 4 is Knightmare Tower! Another upgrade + launch game, however this time it's a vertical launch game! Rather than trying to get as far horizontally, in this game (and other Vertical Launch games), the aim is to hit boosts to keep upwards momentum and not fall back down. Super fun upgrade game with fun graphics and gameplay!

Upgrade, RPG // Dodging & Catching, Shooting Gallery Number 5 is Swords and Souls! Similar to DuckLife, the gameplay phase is focused on training your character to have them compete in RPG automatic battles. The fun mini-games and challenges with unique RPG elements combine to make a very engaging upgrade game That concludes my fifth Video Game Genres Guide! Thank you for reading!

(11:00 PM, the Nemesis. Knockout's infirmary. Knockout's looking through patient charts. Starscream is standing by the door, chatting with him. I come in and sit in a corner quietly, knees pulled up to chin.)

Knockout: Shouldn't you be in bed?

Me: Yeah, but I can't sleep.

Knockout: Oh? Why's that, love?

Me: I'm nervous.

Knockout: About?

Me: My therapy appointment.

Knockout: May I ask why?

Me: I just...*sigh* What if I say something that makes her think I'm beyond help?

Knockout: *quirks brow* Uhh...

Me: What if she puts me on something that makes me go numb again. I don't wanna go back-- I can't go back to that!

Knockout: Breathe, dear. You'll be fine.

Me: But what if I won't be? Because I'm definitely not fine right now. What-- what if she has me carted off to a mental ward? What if she says I can't come here anymore? What if she--

Starscream: Are you listening to yourself right now?

Me: What?

Starscream: You are fretting over things that are unlikely to happen.

Knockout: Screamer has a point, darling.

Me: But what if--

Knockout: Sweetspark, if there was even a remote risk of that happening, we'd protect you. Isn't that right, Screamer?

Starscream: Indeed.

Me: But--

Knockout: Okay, let's try this. Repeat after me. *ehem* I will be fine.

Me: I will be...Fine.

Knockout: Nothing bad will happen to me.

Me: Nothing bad will happen to me.

Knockout: Good! Now say it again. I will be fine. Nothing bad will happen to me.

Me: I will be fine. Nothing bad will happen to me.

Knockout: Again!

Me: I will be fine. Nothing bad will happen to me. I will be fine. Nothing bad will happen to me.

Knockout: Now, how do you feel?

Me: Better.

Knockout: Good. Now go to bed. It's nearly midnight, and you need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow.

Me: Right. *heads out of the infirmary, but pokes head back in* Thanks, Knockout.

Knockout: Oh, it's no problem, Sweetspark. Now go on. Shoo!

Computer's finally up and running again, so now I get to spend half an hour translating my notes into what might wind up being two text posts due to Tumblr's character limit that I only just now learned was a thing!

In case you forgot, last week, Ziggy got outed as the antagonist, and Ben got knifed.

And already, we're on the Plane Ride from Hell.

Bold move talking about Evil Ziggy while inside the fucking Project.

The leap is going to rely on Google. Ben is fucked.

Not liking that ominous shot of Ian...

Fuck this Grenadine Fucker.

Ben, slap this child already.

Calling it now: Grandma Zelda dies on this flight.

I've never been in an upper floor plane before, but this First Class cabin checks out.

Hey, Ben, maybe don't remind Addison how you almost died last week?

If the handlink is on a "separate system", then Ziggy ain't offline...

Plot Twist: DB Cooper caused the plane crash somehow...

The fucking elevator music...

"Ben, stop being fucking snippy with my, we got a plane crash to stop."

"I hope you choke." If Addison just jinxed the pilot...

Yeah, fuck you, pilot, Ben has Future Google!

Plot twist: Ben has to land the plane.

"What do I do?" "Get back to work! (leaves)"

Oh God, not him again.

I hope Cory dies.

Yeah, I get the Surgeon General exists in the 1970s, but unfortunately, Joe Camel still has his stranglehold on America.

"Why didn't you ask [Leslie] for help?" "Well, I got knifed."

Who the fuck names their kid "Jim Gently"?

Reddit as a plot point, dear God.

AND HE'S CHOKING, GOOD ONE ADDISON

Double murder? Definitely DB Cooper.

Like I always say: Coffee is poison.

I love how Addison is getting pissed over Ben refusing to make friends.

I will laugh if it turns out Holly is innocent.

Calling it: Cory is the hijacker.

Pills and burbon, he knows how to party.

Ian is going to go rogue at this rate.

"It's not just about Ziggy-" Correct, it's about averting a plane crash, chop chop.

Ben, punch Cory already.

Ah, Cory has no friends, and he finally has a purpose!

...okay, that made me laugh. Get fucked, everyone, Ben was in the right for not trusting Leslie!

Well, things has turned slightly...

So, Cory technically caused this.

Maybe they crashed the plane to kill Cory?

Ben has to "Air Force One" this shit.

Holly, now's not the time to be mad at Ben.

How is this working?

"I hope for the best for your granddaughter, ma'am. (stands) SHE HAS HEALTH ISSUES!"

SPLASH!

"Here, have a gun."

"It's all because of me, isn't it?" Yes.

Oh, fuck, Cory was meant to be the Ben analogue this week.

And Bootleg Abe Vigoda to the rescue!

RIOT!

How did Abe Vigoda's clone not die from that?

Ben is becoming Walter White.

"Ben, fucking make friends already!"

You can tell Addison will never live down her misjuding Leslie as being a friend...

Ben's phoning this in, I see. (ba dum tish)

Night night!

"Cory, you can land this, right?" They are fucked.

"We got five minutes until this plane crashes!" Bet.

Cory, tick tock, choke down that fear of fucking up for once in your fucking life!

BTW, two minutes passed by my estimate.

And Ian finally gets to talk to Ben in the Imaging Chamber!

Ah, Ian patched the Imaging Chamber software, quick and easy handwave.

"Look, I know we have to land this plane, but let's rant about lore!"

DO YOU GET THE MORAL YET?!

My guess is that we aren't being shown Cory fix shit because he's violently crying all the while.

About as clean of a land as when the Foo Fighters did. 5/5

And right on cue, Sleepy Joe wakes up.

And Ben dips once more into the blue.

Lois gets to meet Nixon, oh dear God...

Way to kill the mood, Addison.

Oh, goody, we once again are flying blind.

And Ben is in... the future?

...wait, why is-

"Snowing in LA." ""Nuclear winter..."

...

...did Ziggy fucking nuke the Project?!

[Alrighty then, Addison got shot, that was my theory about why Ben had to save her, so, well, check that box off...]

Okay, next week is going to go hog-fucking-wild it seems. NBC, I know you already renewed the show, but announce Season 3 already.
