Drarry microfic: make a wish

They were walking through the park, the warm spring sun shining down on them. It was a beautiful day today. The perfect day to spend the afternoon at the park.

Scorpius ran in front of them, giggling and pointing at all different kinds of flowers. “Look, Dad!” he suddenly exclaimed. He pointed at something in the grass and ran to it. He came back with a proud smile on his face. “A dandelion!”

Harry and Draco exchanged a look, before Harry turned back to Scorpius, lifting the dandelion up to Scorp’s mouth. “It must be the first one of the season,” he said softly. “Blow on it and make a wish.”

Closing his eyes, Scorpius took a deep breath and blew on the dandelion. He mumbled something they couldn’t quite hear. His smile grew even wider when he opened his eyes again.

“What did you wish for?” Draco asked curiously.

Scorpius shook his head, his face turning serious. “I can’t tell,” he said. He lifted his chin. “My wish won’t come true if I tell you.”

“Smart man.” Harry nodded.

“Of course, I am,” Scorpius said. He turned to Draco then. “What did you wish for, Dad?”

Draco shrugged. “I can’t tell you.” He leaned closer to his son and whispered in his ear, “Though, I think my wish has already come true when I met your Papa.”

can we stop pretending like it’s so super easy for trans men to pass. “oh just put on a baggy shirt and cut your hair-“ it literally doesn’t work like that and I refuse to believe you actually think it’s that easy

"The nonbinary afab who goes by she/her, dresses femininely, and uses a push-up bra when I—" when you what? What's wrong with her?

Is she not nonbinary enough for you? Is the way she experiences her queerness and how she presents not perfect enough for you? Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny, right? So why is she the exception? Why does she have to hate herself to appeal to your standards? Why is she any less trans—any less worthy of respect—cause it's "not visible"? Queer solidarity my ass. Don't spout this bullshit on Pride, man.

Fun fact: it’s really easy to catch a dragon fly by gently taking hold of their tail thing (no idea what it’s called ) and in my country if you catch a dragon fly you should make a wish and if you let it go it’ll come true

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

"- I have a lot of problems with Biden. He is clearly the better of the two options, which I recognize is a very low bar. Being better than Trump cannot be the standard, because Donald Trump is the absence of a standard.

"But the truth is, even if Trump looses, that won't be the end of this. The people who cooked up Project 2025 will just move onto Project 2029 instead, because for them, this is so much more than just one election, or indeed, one candidate. Project 2025 is born from impulse as old as America. It's an impulse that says one class of Americans is entitled to lead, and the rest of us are lucky to be allowed to serve- that thinks there should be a limited government when it comes to rules they have to live by, but also a unitary executive to keep the rest of us in line. These are old, old ideas that have been shouted from podiums-... but have now been placed into a new handbook for an only too willing president to use on day one.

"And in a perfect world, I would love if we had an opposing party better able to articulate a strong defense of our country's ideals and that also consistently lived up to them. People are entitled to hope for more from the next four years than someone just not being Trump (and for at least two supreme court justices to die)-...

"And for anyone tempted to think, 'Well, we survived Trump's first term,' first, not everyone did, and it should hopefully be very clear by now a second Trump term really does promise to be far, far worse, because if Trump's first term was defined by chaos, his second could be defined by ruthless efficiency. That should be troubling to absolutely everyone because Project 2025 is a movement who's members joke about wanting a white homeland and insist women have to have more babies to uphold western society.-

"We need to be better than this."

The first thing, my love

And the second, my love

And the third thing, my love, was you

Wyll being a terrible monster hunter is something that is so special actually. told to hunt heartless devil? immediately convinced of her goodness and humanity and without hesitation agrees to defy the devil who has his soul in custody and spare karlach at tremendous personal physical cost. vampire in camp? well hes handsome and funny and pretty polite about where he puts his teeth so it’s fine all things considered. finding out the person who ritualistically disemboweled a tiefling in front of him is a bhaalspawn like an unholy progeny of the god of murder that is culturally immediately reviled? no that’s his friend and he completely trusts in their ability to fight their nature with their own inner light. it doesn’t matter that they created the absolute they’re not that person anymore. Like Wyll. you are literally categorically not hunting the monsters. guy of all time
