see i still have questions about the existence of mcr and fob in the fantasy high universe.

fall out boy exists. canonically, pete wentz is 17 years old, making andy hurley 16, and joe trohman + patrick stump 12. so the earliest album they could have out is eowyg, or tttyg at the LATEST. (bc clearly, they’re popular enough to have made an impact in the emo/pop punk/alternative scene, so much so that fig brings up pete’s name as an attempt to show ruben how #cool and #emo wanda childa is)

what does this say about mcr? its unclear if my clerical gnomance is (in universe) directly copying mcr, or if they (ruben + his band) came up with the name. if it’s the latter, that means that we’re looking at a world where mcr doesn’t exist, but fob does.

i’m somehow more confused if it’s the former. mcr existing means that 9/11 happened (or an equivalently traumatic event happened in Solace), but also. the logo used for Ruben’s band is the one mcr used for the black parade. so does that mean that mcr is 3 years ahead of fob? how old would they be then? when did they start their career? who is letting all these teenagers start bands and have nation wide tours????

does this mean that fig & the cig figs potentially toured alongside mcr/fob? (or. ok. ik F&tCF is a heavy metal band. mcr and fob both lean more towards pop-punk/rock but. surely they’d both be AWARE of each other?)

these could all be called plot holes, sure, if this was anything other than a role-playing dnd comedy campaign. so you know. maybe i’m the one who’s putting too much thought into a few off-hand comments.

Day 2 - Posture

written for @prongsfoot-microfic

“Keep slouching like that, and you’ll end up stuck in that position before you hit thirty.” Professor McGonagall’s stern voice was accompanied by an intensely disapproving glare at Sirius’ sitting—no, slouching posture. He was currently half laid out on a couch, legs thrown over one arm of it and neck hanging off the other side. It was a very comfortable position and even McGonagall’s threats weren’t enough to make him budge.

“S’not like I can be any more bent, let’s be honest,” he muttered under his breath, smirking when Remus and James let out matching snorts of laughter, unable to contain their reactions.

“Mr. Black!” McGonagall gasped, scandalised. He leaned back further to send her a quick wink before slowly moving into a better position.

“Apologies, Professor, I didn’t mean to say that,” he said, utterly insincerely. He wasn’t fooling anyone, of course, but it was the principle of the matter.

“I’m sure you didn’t,” she replied, though a tiny little glint in her eye told Sirius exactly how much she enjoyed their little back-and-forths. She could pretend to be stern and stuffy all she wanted, but it couldn’t be farther from the truth.

She looked at all three of them for a moment, looking like butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths, before letting out an almost-audible sigh. Almost. “Well, I knew it would be futile but I had to try. At least sitting up straight would make it easier for Mr. Potter to carry out his heart’s desire, so there’s that. Do remember there’s young children around, boys.” And with that parting shot, she left, leaving them sitting there in varying stages of disbelief (Sirius), embarrassment (James) and hysterical laughter (Remus, the fucker).

“Did she just—?” James managed to get out before burying his face in his hands. Sirius could see the tips of his extremely red ears peeking out the sides.

“I think it was a fever dream,” Sirius replied mechanically, still trying to make sense of what just happened. How quickly the tables turned on them.

“Oh no, not at all,” Remus finally deigned to join, ceasing his cackles just enough to get his two cents in. “She really did just imply that James wanted to devour you, and that it would be much more effective to do it sitting up.”

“Remus—“ Sirius growled, lifting out of his seat to seal his friend’s mouth shut; he was having entirely too much fun.

“Of course, I agree with her, seeing as there’s no—how did you put it, James?—‘tantalising display of skin torturing you’ now.”

“Oh my god,” James removed his hands from his face, making it clear the blush had travelled violently down his face, over his neck. Sirius could see it had even spread across his chest from the little V of his button-up. He gulped, quickly turning away lest it trigger another kind of heat in him. “Remus, you utter piece of goblin-shite.”

“Thanks ever so much, honey.” Remus blew a kiss, once at each of them, and left without a look back, fully aware of the shit he’d just stirred.

“So…” James was staring at the wall in front of him with a laser focus, resolutely not looking at Sirius.

“So?”

“Wanna go see if you really can’t get any more bent?”

x

Neither of them were seen in the castle for the rest of the day. Remus got at least twenty three galleons and fifteen sickles from the student body, and an additional ten from McGonagall. They made good partners, if he did say so himself.

Week 4 - Photo a day Challenge

Week Four - Photo a day Challenge

Week four is the last week for the photo a day challenge I signed up for. I’ve had a lot of fun trying to find something everyday to photograph in line with the daily theme. I admit some days I didn’t get very close, some days the connection was tenuous to say the least, but other days I think I really nailed it. As with the others in this series, these are all photos taken with my smart phone…

Rewatching some episodes bc as usual McG isn't far from my mind 😏😍

[doriana-gray-games]

Hello! Hope you're doing well <3

One thing that I love about your IF is how detailed the character creation is and I'm thinking about doing my own IF but I don't know shit about coding, so I wanted to ask if you had any help? or if you have any sources that could help me. Thank you!

Hi <3 I'm not sure I am the most pedagogical/best person to ask here haha. But here's what I did:

Started here ->

I checked their example files at the bottom of the page.

Then,

Went here ->

I downloaded something called "ChoiceScript IDE" (basically a program where you can write / test / play your game).

And—

And, here's my biggest tip:

Just start

No mile-long planning. Not at this stage, you can do that later. Just start somewhere so you have a document you can work on, and you won't let the programming hold you back from actually starting.

That's it <3

----

On the topic of character creation, honestly, just look at my code and take it if you want. I don't mind. Just make the changes where they make sense, and voila, you have a cc.

[diamondmeadow]

as a certified Middle School Teacher, do you have any further thoughts or headcanons on mwpp at that age? because honestly this is a criminally underexplored comedic goldmine.

I cannot agree more! I feel like the first four years at Hogwarts especially have such potential. For gen fics mainly, so it might not be for everyone, might seem boring, but honestly we are writing and reading about a close-knit group of four boys, and by focusing on singular ships only, we might be missing out on so much of their dynamic expansion. I still keep thinking about that snippet of yours about Sirius pyjamas. But then I'm also coming from bands fandom which in a sense is a very similar environment, just a few men closely working and interacting together, plus my favourite trope is (best) friends to lovers, so there's that too. I'm pining for this. AHAHAH Anyway, enough of my ramble, here I come with some ideas, thought I don't necessarily think they are something people haven't come up with before. To sum up the comical possibilities move from bodily humour to more cerebral one over the years with lots of awkwardness thrown in between - i imagine a lot of hilarious situation happen just by accident. - ages 11/12 - they are probably extremely random. the things boys that age let out of their mouth, their associations, are just the wildest. the pranking at this stage must have been insane. a lot of body pranking and really dumb jokes. also there was a lot and I mean A LOT of physicality between the boys themselves probably. boys that age won't stop hitting each other, touching one another in quasi-fights, but there's nothing sexual about it. the boys in my class are at it nonstop, however dangerous it is, they keep smacking each other with cushions, slippers, textbooks, with ANYTHING that comes under their hands. they wrestle and pull at each other nonstop. i fully believe the marauders dorm room was a battle ground - this was specifically prominent between james and sirius. - ages 12/13 - this is the time when most of the boys enter puberty, so all kinds of physical changes you have described start appearing. they start to be more self-conscious about the way they look. as i HC for James to be a little on the vain side, I imagine him spending progressively longer time in the bathroom which might be a source of arguments (that are quickly forgetten) between the boys, they are constantly missing breakfast or well, James is, then he's grumpy because he is hungry. also times of the self-exploration, morning wood, wet dreams, lots of embarrassing moments for everyone. i imagine Peter being on the shy side, his bed has always curtain closed. their dorm room REEKS. Sirius might be the cleanest (pureblood upbringing leftover) lots of mood swings, it's a rollercoaster. a lot of bickering over stupid things. by the time they are thirteen they are a bit more shy with the touch (minus James and Sirius, again I feel like those two would be all over each other because that's their way of showing affection, James is a hugger from home). their pranking would get better, less body pranks, more cerebral pranks. i feel like here Remus might start getting bolder with his ideas. Sirius would get progressively mouthier. bless Mcg and every teacher at Hogwarts. - ages 13/14 - peek peer pressure. whatever their friends are thinking, that's the holy word. this is the peek pranking time. oh lord, Remus would hardly try to stop them. Peter would take a lot of detention to cover up for James and Sirius. and in general, they would be breaking records in detention. they are extremely aware of their sexuality, lots of lewdness, lots of stupid, inappropriate jokes. All the girls are annoyed by them. this is the time they start smoking if they start at all. sarcasm central! the randomness of their early age disappears - this is when everyone really understand just how smart Sirius and James really are. The third year is the year they are done with their mirrors and they are working on the map. they are bold enough to come up with the Animagi idea. this is the year they are invincible. by the way their room is a MESS - a MINEFIELD. Thank god for cleaning charms.

- ages 14/15 - now this is not very different from the previous year, i just think they get a little bit more organised, especially at 15, and increasingly it's possible to have a reasonable conversation with them. i feel like Remus would be a much more polite throughout the years, with his gratefulness for the opportunity he got at Hogwarts, so the difference would be scarce, the same goes for Peter, but James and Sirius would get much better and stop talking back as much. there's more secrecy in their plans. they also start to need their own space and time. their dorm room is tidier and the curtains are often closed on every bed. but all four of them have their opinions now and much more than before these opinions differ. it's not one brain cell/pack brain anymore. there are more discussions, a bit less pranking, they start seeing their behaviour is not as great and I think this is the time when they really only give a hard time to selected few (aka Snape) and whoever doesn't sit well with them. they definitely don't stop, but before they were much less selective. it could be anyone. Anyway, this is not wildly specific, more just like an application of my observation of teenage boys. I feel like everyone could make it work in their own way depending on how they see the individual Marauder.

[selfish-thunder]

I’ve got another idea.

Okay, so I love those fics that have Harry trying to use his Parselmouth on either (or both) the basilisk and the dragon in the first task of the Triwizard Tournament, with varying degrees of success. And a lot of the time, talking to the dragon kinda works, right? Like, it’s not direct communication, more like two people who are just above beginner’s level in learning the other’s language, and both languages are derivative of another one, so even if they don’t fully understand they can kinda piece together what the other is saying?

So, let’s say it’s like that. And of course, dragons aren’t born like squishy humans who take forever to learn to even roll over; they immediately start walking, flapping their wings, and hiccupping sparks, right?

AU

FIRST YEAR Harry, of course, doesn’t realize yet that he’s a Parselmouth–he doesn’t even know what Parseltongue is and just assumed being able to talk to that snake in the zoo was just a wizard thing.

So, they’re in Hagrid’s hut, Norbert(a) is born, and Harry hears something that sounds an awful lot like, “Food? Hungry? Momma?” or whatever a newborn dragon would try to communicate.

Harry tries to tell Hagrid he thinks the dragon is hungry, he might want to feed it, but the others are confused because it sounds to them like Harry is hiss-cooing or something to the dragon. (Hagrid thinks it’s adorable.) But anyway, however it comes about, it becomes obvious in the time between the dragon being born and Charlie’s friends coming to get them, that Harry can, in fact, understand the dragon and speak to it.

It’s not perfect, but he’s able to communicate to the dragon not to set something on fire or that they need to try to eat the rats as they’re being weaned off the whiskey/blood mix thing. No one thinks it’s a perk of Parseltongue because hello, he’s talking to a dragon, and isn’t this incredible? It must be some kind of ancient inheritance thing.

So, when they write to Charlie, they naturally have to ask him if he’s ever heard anything like that, so instead of just coming to collect the dragon, Charlie comes, too, and they witness this incredible thing. (So does Draco, in the shadows, of course.)

Charlie is super excited and reaches out to every expert he can, and he convinces McG to let him bring Harry out to a dragon range to be evaluated, and they try to keep this new, rare ability under wraps, but some of the assessors blab, and Draco wrote to complain to his father who goes on his own investigation, etc. At any rate, it becomes A Thing.

While Dumbledore steps in to ensure Harry goes back to the Dursleys, the obsessed dragon crowd refuse to be refused outright and secures Harry a camp-like thing at a dragon resort (because they think it’s clearly Harry’s destiny to become, like, the Ultimate Dragon Trainer, and Harry thinks dragons are cool and likes the sound of getting away from the Dursleys for a few weeks).

Their letters don’t get through that summer, though, and Charlie hears from his brothers that they haven’t heard from Harry either, so it’s Charlie who goes to check on him and finds him locked up with bars on his windows. Unlike Ron, Fred, and Geroge, Charlie is a grown-ass adult with his own connections now, which go beyond Dumbledore’ reach because the wealthy dragon resort that’s so interested in Harry is in a goddamn different country with a whole different magical government, and also, ain’t nobody wants to get on the bad side of a self-sufficient DRAGON RESORT that has a ton of dragons that aren’t just roaming their countryside thanks to them.

So, a new arrangement is made. Harry will return to the Dursleys, under strict Romania supervision (I imagine it's some seasoned, scary-looking dragon tamer who demands to stay in the house with them, taking over the guest room, like… ahhhh chef’s kiss) just long enough to satisfy the protection spell, but for the rest of the summer, Harry stays at the resort. Charlie becomes his unofficial guardian, kinda, and: enter, a bunch of OC dragon tamers who are awesome and very protective of their little dragon-speaker.

Second year goes a little differently. First there’s Draco, who hates Harry more than ever over this, but while he knows he’ll never get a dragon-in with the Weasleys, there’s still a slight chance with Harry (and goddamnit, dragons are his NAME’S SAKE, if anyone deserves free access to any dragon they want, it’s HIM), so he tries to become less of a bother. Harry’s still outed talking a different language during duel club, and some people are still suspicious, but most people know about his dragon-ability and wrongly assume the opposite of what it actually is (ie, he can kinda talk to snakes because he can talk to dragons), and Harry only tells Ron and Hermione that the snake was actually a lot easier to understand.

Go to next summer, when his new dragon-tamer-family learn about the events of second year, they firstly, throw a fit because they should have been informed their charge was in danger, and secondly, go and collect the basilisk because like hell are they going to let something like that just rot somewhere. So, figuring out how to destroy Horcruxes later becomes, like, SUPER easy and accessible.

Charlie’s the one who tells Harry about Sirius Black when he escapes, and he straight up tells Harry everything, about Black being his godfather and betraying his parents, all of it, so Harry goes into third year fully informed. He, of course, does not see the grim that summer. But he doesn't spent the year an emotional wreck, just getting a little bit of the info at a time, do with that as you will.

Harry arrives to school with a signed permission slip for Hogsmeade, and even though McGonagall still wants to refuse him because of Black, members of his dragon-tamer family just happen to be in the area for that year for ‘business’ or whatever (aka, protect Harry because ain't nobody said shit to them last year) and escort him to Hogsmeade anyway.

(“With all due respect, Professor, I once had a Peruvian Vipertooth grab my leg and toss me over a hill, and I still got back up and got the collar on her. You think Black scares me?”)

Most of their patronuses are dragons, except for one tamer whose patronus is a chipmunk, and funnily enough, it’s the most powerful patronus of all of them.

Draco doesn’t insult Buckbeak because he wants to prove to the tamers and probably Potter that he can, in fact, handle himself with larger magical creatures. He becomes Hagrid's best, most dedicated student.

I mean, COME ON,  imagine how the whole series can go differently.

Maybe the tamers get hilariously invested in the Scabbers/Crookshanks feud. It's the tamers, maybe, that figure out Scabbers fucking Pettigrew.

Different dragons have to be imported for the first task because Romania would be too biased - or they change the first task altogether because Harry's a known dragon-speaker.

They would DESTROY Umbridge.

Death Eaters vs Dragon Tamers. Dragon Tamers in the Order. Sirius lives because a Tamer was there in the Department of Mysteries to save him. Sirius not going out of his mind being stuck at Grimmauld because he can go to the resort where no one outside the Order recognizes him/cares.

Draco not becoming a Death Eater because he wants to become a Dragon Tamer.

DRAGONS AT THE BATTLE OF HOGWARTS. USING THE GRINGOTTS DRAGON INSTEAD OF GRIPHOOK TO BREAK INTO (AND OUT OF) GRINGOTTS.

THE POSSIBILITIES

[eastwindmlk]

I wish you would write a fic about James and Lily debating if a hotdog is a taco

🤨

We need answers, bonus points if McG is the judge

It turned into a @jilymicro-oops but here we are!

She could hear them from down a floor above. The bickering rises above the familiar noise of a hallway filled with students. Their words did not quite make it to the ears of the older professor and yet somehow she had no issues making out which voices were locked in a very spirited debate. 

Minerva knew that she should not feel excited about this. She should not be encouraging the pair to be loud and disruptive, but she couldn’t help but feel a rush to accompany her curiosity as she wove her way through a sea of second years to her Head Boy and Girl in the nook across from the mural of Merlin.  

Though the closer she crept to the alcove, the clearer the words got, the more confused the head of house got. So far, she could make out that it was, much to her disappointment, not a transfiguration debate and likely not charms either. 

If anything, it might be potions until she heard the word ‘sausage’ and all hopes of a good academic debate left her. Now, she could have turned back. Returned to her office and let the pair go toe to toe until they reached an impasse or one of them landed in the hospital wing. 

However, Poppy had previously suggested that there was a third option. Something she had not considered until the notorious pair were brought up over a nightcap of dry sherry. Nearly choking on the sip she was taking. 

The thought was now ever-present in her mind as she observed the pair of them in her classes and during meals. Watching James draw a little closer than needed to glance at her notes and Lily playing with her hair and fluttering her lashes as they discussed equal exchange in transmutation. 

Frankly, Minerva was a little disappointed in the fact that she had not noticed it earlier herself. The way their friendly rivalry had shifted into something more. So, she supposed that Poppy might be right that a snog could be a perfectly acceptable ending to one of their squabbles. 

Normally, she was particularly interested in the romantic escapades of her students. There were plenty of them that coupled up. More than once she had found herself in a lover's quarrel, and that would be the first time she would realize that a pair had ever formed. Others she would catch in varying stages of compromise in broom closets or unused classrooms. 

However, those couples did not usually include her favourite student. Not that she would ever admit aloud to having a favourite. Since that would be completely inappropriate. The only ones aware of this fact were, she, Poppy, and very likely James Potter and Sirius Black. They were simply too keen and clever for their own good. 

“No! Absolutely not! You cannot just substitute the bread and expect it to be the same dish. That’s the whole point, Potter.” Lily’s voice reached Minerva, who watched her hands fly up in exasperation. Clearly very passionate about her point. 

James leaned in, a grin on his face that she knew far too well. It was something he usually reserved for when a particularly complicated spell came together or when he was on his broom. Rising to meet a challenge. 

Something Miss Evans could definitely take as a complement. 

Speaking of Miss Evans, she looked particularly proud as she gave a casual shrug and watched James pull at his hair. Clearly enjoying the way she was affecting him. Leaning ever so subtly closer to him as he rested his forearms on his knees to close some more of the distance. 

Both of them have a good time getting a rise out of the other. 

“That is where you’re wrong, though, Evans. If we were talking about any other protein, you would not make the same call, though. If you put a burger in flatbread, it is still a burger,” he argued in return, and it did not help in the slightest to figure out what they were discussing. 

She watched Lily’s eyebrows rise and heard her voice lower, another challenge. “Try me, James.” Which was Minvera’s cue to get out. This seemed like just the type of moment where someone would get a little too close and she was not about to linger when her students seemed on the verge of being inappropriate. 

Her tartan robes swished as she turned, adjusting her hat with determination before striding away from the scene. Only to hear someone call her from over her shoulder. 

“Professor?” Which was probably the better address than the one that followed it. 

“Minnie!” 

She really should tell him off for that, someday. But today was not going to be that day. Minerva, instead, settled for a gentle reprimand. “Mr Potter, should I remind you of our talk?” she told him in her most clipped and professional tone, biting back a smile. 

“Minnie,” he continued, unperturbed until Lily’s hand smacked him on the shoulder and the pair of them exchanged a look, and he straightened his back. “Professor McGonagall.” 

Minerva offered them a friendly nod and a smile. “Yes, Mister Potter?” Watching him brighten up and shoot the girl beside him a smug look. 

“We need your help settling an argument.” She somewhat expected that, and the more looks that were exchanged, the more her curiosity grew. “See, Lily here thinks that the shape of the bread determines what kind of dish you’re eating.” 

The professor narrowed her eyes at them, peering over her spectacles, wondering what they meant with this. But so far, it did not seem like something to be arguing over. But who was she to judge. “Well, to make a fair judgement, I will need to hear both your arguments.” She waved in Lily’s direction to hear her out first. 

“I believe that depending on how you present it. So, one side of bread is toast, two a sandwich, three is a taco and after that, it gets a little complicated but that is irrelevant,” she started and Minerva smiled and nodded in understanding. “I am saying that, by these rules, a hotdog is a taco.” 

Before she could even offer her critiques or judgement, James hopped in with his own two cents. “And I believe that a dish depends on the protein. A sausage cannot be a taco. That is just not done.” 

She considered this for a moment, watching both their eager faces as they willed her to agree with them. Even though, frankly, she did not really see much merit in either argument. “Well…” she started to say, though found that she had trouble saying anything else. 

Folding her hands in front of her, offering them both a look, she considered transforming into a cat simply to avoid having to rule on this. But she could not do that. It would be a poor example. So, after a deep breath, Minerva decided. “I believe Miss Evans’ argument has a more logical approach.” Before either of them could say anything, the professor bid them a good day and walked away as fast as she could.

OMG!! So just thinking about my Sirius time travel to Harry plot. So after McG and Dumbledore get over their initial shock 🫨🫨🫨 whoop comes knocking on his door the following morning... ANDY!! so anyways Harry, Ron, and Sirius all become besties. And after years of going to Sirius' and becoming close with Andy imagine Harry's which after coming face to face with Bella the first time!!! He would freeze and not be able to curse her right away.

You are obsessed with this story idea. But I have no time to write this right now so…

Wild - from The Secret Portal Part Two (Lexi POV)

“Our orchestra concert is next Friday,” I added on. “Maddie’s choir concert is next Saturday, the twenty-first. So we’ll show up in Alium that Sunday morning. That weekend is going to be wild. Jazlyn and Wade both have a football game on Friday, and Ewan and Hye-Jin have concerts Saturday. I think Parker may be going to Wade’s game and Ewan and Jazlyn to each other’s activities. And Robbie has a winter play next week Thursday through Saturday. So next weekend will be vacant until Sunday.” “How do you know what everyone’s doing?” Ash asked, finally saying something and looking up from her largely untouched food. I blinked. “I dunno. I just remembered everyone talking about it.” “What else do you know, their birthdays?” “Yeah,” I said.

Free - from The Secret Portal Part One

In what could only be a temporary hesitation, Kwasiyaa ensured her cloak concealed them as she adjusted the bag on her shoulder with her free hand. She gave Dylan’s hand a squeeze with the other, and they were off again.

Escape - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

I threw up my arms to pull my hair, trying to hold back the tears that were pushing their way to the world outside of their ducts, which made me angrier. I get upset or frustrated or stressed and immediately start crying. It was frustrating, and no one understood. No one except Ash. I could tell she saw the tears, and she gave me a look of sympathy. To escape last year’s memories, I stormed out of the room.

Away - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

I opened my eyes and saw a small purple flower dancing in the breeze. Bright petals swirled around the middle. It was beautiful, but I wasn’t in the mood. I glared at it. It had to go away. I hated it was happier than me, and it was a plant.

Wind - from The Secret Portal Part One (Maddie POV)

“Wait,” Rose said, putting her hand up again. “Do you hear that?” Everyone fell silent. Everything else was silent. No wind rustled the grass, no trees swayed. No birds chirped. Nothing. Noelle sighed, “I don’t he—” “Shh,” Rose hushed. She slowly moved forward, then sat on the ground on her heels. “Guys, come here.”

Deep - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

My head whipped to my right to see a patch of vines wrapped around a tree. I yelped as they detached themselves and snatched in the air toward me, jumping back and almost tripping on the uneven ground. I staggered until it appeared they couldn’t get to me. The vines seemed to notice something above them, and I followed them up until a sight caused a deep shudder to course through me. Ash hung above my head, tangled in and thrashing against the vines that twisted around her body. “Oh, my—! Ash!”

Guitar - N/A

Shame - from School of the Legends Year One

She handed him his completed rubric, signaling it was time to go back to his desk. Despite the classmates who whispered to him that they had his back, it felt like the walk of shame. Jack slunk into his desk and read through the rubric. He mentally added the points in his head and found himself at a C. One of the notes Mrs. McGuire had was, “Your poem is fine—it just didn’t meet the entire requirements.”

Time - from The Secret Portal Part One

William put down his tablet and rubbed his eyes beneath his glasses. He’d been working so late that it was now early. It was so quiet he could hear the snakefly behind him violently flapping its wings. He sighed, then reread the last paragraph he’d written: Replicating the negative energy density found in a chronokinetic’s rifts is no easy task. The level needed to connect one time to another is far greater than a Level-7 teleporter, but nowhere near the level in the portal that connects our reality to Ceteri, nor even a dimensiokinetic. If chronokinetics were less seldom, perhaps this task would be accessible.

Ball - from The Secret Portal Part One (Gwen POV)

“Oh, Tyler, what’re your powers?” I asked when I sensed something might escalate into an argument I didn’t want to be a part of. “Oh, photokinesis,” he answered. “Light.” He outstretched his palm, a soft ball of light appearing in it. He closed his hand. “Nice,” I said, smiling. Now that I was seeing more of this, I was starting to like it despite myself.

Intense - from The Secret Portal Part One (Akash POV)

Gwen sank into the workout bench a minute ago. She said she needed some space to think up a game plan. Her brow was now furrowed in intense concentration, and she rapidly smacked one of her drumsticks on her knee. “You good, Akash?” Robbie asked, pulling me out of a trance that I didn’t know I was in. I was staring! At Gwen! Shit shit shit shit shit!

Fast - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

“Lexi?” Mrs. Korrin asked. “Don’t you have a partner?” I looked around the room. “No, everyone else is taken.” “Hm, I know we have an even number of kids—” The door slammed open, and a kid with messy dark hair was panting in the doorway. “Greyson,” Mrs. Korrin sighed, “is it going to be like this every day?” “Sorry, Mrs. Korrin,” said Greyson, moving to his seat. “Not so fast, we’re partnering up, and Lexi doesn’t have a partner. Get your worksheet, and come sit next to her.”

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP BEVER GONNA LET YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWN

(McG is singing a rock version! Sirius tries not to laugh while Monte and Euphemia are playing the bongos!)

(Ps, I’m kidding, not sure you’ve seen a troll who keeps sending the same prompt over and over to different people. )

— DO YOU INOW WHO I AM

thoughts as i rewatched mischa on the oc pod

these are mostly the thoughts i sent to my friend in real time lol i cannot help the stream of consciousness when it comes to this podcast episode apparently (here's my original thoughts pre-revelations)

funny how she says 17.5/18 at the top

seems that’s the age range she’s really latched onto, especially as she was 16 when the talks with McG really started and they filmed the pilot not even two months after she turned 17 (aka she's still aging herself up which is... interesting)

i'm reminded of peter gallagher on the podcast saying he was scared for mischa right from the beginning and how they all had a duty to protect her. and rachel saying mischa was "seasoned" because she'd been in movies and knew how to order a latte. and peter was like "she was still 16"

they keep referring to the hermosa party as manhattan beach (unless i’m the one messing up)

i forgot she mentioned josh’s name

“as with everything with like josh and them back then, it was like ‘maybe she should be drunker’” omg??

THE PAUSE BEFORE SAYING BENS NAME LMAO

oh she did notttt wanna complete that thought

“that whole exchange behind……… ben”

this reads so different now

i feel like rachel is so scared to talk in this ep

mischa with the tight lipped smile when rachel says it’s fun to see ben squirm on the ferris wheel

calling herself a baby/fetus in the ferris wheel scene... interesting

i cannot believe the gall of these women to make her watch this scene

the way mindy immediately says the bullshit patrick rush line of they had to cast people way older than her to make it believable on camera bc boys mature later? wtf. i bet she thought that was bullshit too

i love her so much for criticizing the 201 writing

the mount st mary’s thing... i wanna know what she means!!!

i can see mischa dissociating as melinda talks about the model home scene “there was so much that was real”

cannot believe mindy referenced this scene to her face

i’m so in shock how quickly mischa's tears came at the crash scene. quicker than rachel's

her not wanting to see him cry she’s so real

i think she hates seeing his face full stop

thank fucking god mindy tells her and the audience that the ratings went down bc she wasn’t there

i love that that’s on the record

that guy who called in about the 207 bagel scene should be our friend

i think mischa was getting overwhelmed by the time the final calls were coming in

i think a lot of memories good and bad were flooding in

I wish you would write a fic where James & Lily accidentally walk in on McG/(person you choose), when they were trying to find an empty room.

OR

James is sorted into Slytherin and gets ALL the house points taken away and his reaction is this:

O_o

NENA STOP BOTH OF THESE IDEAS ARE FUCKING GOLD

and listen.......isn't it currently "Senior Sweethearts" week for the ladies of HP fest...? 👀

i'm also cackling just imagining the absolute bafflement James would experience in that scenario xD

Tell me what you wish I'd write

[chiriwritesstuff]

I’m so loving every single word of The Girl in IT

Soooooooooo….

Will we ever get see what the other couples are getting up to at work??? 😏😏😏

Mickyla 💜

Mickyla!

Is that something that you guys are interested in? Because I could totally whip something up! I kind of want to write more about the employees at MCG but I wasn’t sure if anyone else is down for it. But if people are game, I can make it happen!

Especially for Bill and Frank. They’re hilarious, and I could totally see Frank just annoying the absolute shit out of Bill while he’s trying to diligently work.

Also, thank you for your kind words! I try, I try really hard! 💜

In Hybrids AU, whenever c!Tommy gave in to his instincts, c!Dream used it/its in third person to refer to him, emphasising that by breaking this rule, he became less of a person (even though he was never one to his guardian.) c!Dream didn’t simply imply it, he often said it openly to ensure that it ingrained into the teen’s mind. :) 

The routine that c!Tommy was forced to follow, was extremely effective in bending him to c!Dream’s will, as it comprised of mindless repetitive work, which is believed to be ideal for shattering one’s free will. Every morning, c!Dream made him write down the same lines of what he wanted him to believe in, for example: 

“Hybrids are unnatural, repulsive and dangerous. Hybrid Hunters do us a favour by culling us. Dream was merciful and decided to make me better instead.” (@mcg-127)

“I am inferior because I am a hybrid. I do not deserve to be treated like a human. Dream is teaching me to be a person and to be better than my instincts.” (@mcg-127) 

“Avian vocalisations are irritating, noisy and repulsive, if I want to ever be worthy of being seen as human, I must reject them. They might get me recognised as hybrid, and humans or hybrids would undoubtedly murder me. Dream only punishes me to protect me.”

“I should be grateful that Dream was the one who found me, because other humans are cruel, neglectful and sadistic. Unlike them, he doesn’t see me as entertainment, but genuinely cares for me, provides me with necessities, and is determined to fix and make me more human.”

After it was done, since the early morning, and almost until c!Dream’s return, he had chores to do.

In addition to that, c!Dream often referred to c!Tommy as his pet or possession, and soon enough, the teen stopped questioning it altogether; if his owner said so, it must be true.

As much as c!Dream hated hybrids, he would occasionally bring them up in front of c!Tommy, and refer to them using other pronouns, with the sole purpose of showing that although all hybrids are inferior to humans, c!Tommy would never be equal, even with his own kind.

I have a lot of things to write about my attempt to induce lucid dream, i start it from March this year, what a long time journey and i am still here… sigh..

Back to lucid dream, ( traditional method as MILD, WILD, etc i tried those sometimes, but lately i stick to SSILD when WBTB and yoga nidra before sleep, i always keep my dream journal too, you will be surprise how many log in my dream journal but no LD yet 🥲, and of course reality check every hour and sometimes i did ADA ( all day awareness)*correct me if i am wrong)

Tried, a lot of herb for induce LD but nothing worked for me, silly me bought 3 pouch of mugwort tea back then ( one pouch is 30 bag of tea ), the taste is horrible, who in the world like this kind of tea, even i like tea i hate this one 😭 drank it before sleep, no effect, drank it when WBTB, no effect, even i didnt get any vivid dream and my dream recall so horrible after that. Wonder why people succeeded with it…

Blue lotus, that one is expensive one and i just got a little flowers for quite of money to spent 🥲 not worked for me too ( i want to hit myself ) in the first time i drank it i had this really long deep sleep i ever had, like you just hit your pillow and close your eyes for one second and one second later you open your eyes, you already sleep for 7 hours! I am grateful for that one though, i never sleep like that before. But yeah after that first time it didn't do anything for me anymore, not deep sleep, not vivid dream or i even can't remember my dream.

After that, i don't want to tried the tea or herbs again, due to disappointment, and then, came these supplements…

Anyone maybe did heard a lot about vitamin B, especially B6 and B12 which coincidentally make people LD, well lucky for me because i lack on these vitamins (including vitamin D) and i bought it for my health too, i bought only vitamin with B1, B6 and B12 in it first but i change to B-complex ( there are choline in it so also need it for my memory, i had the most bad memory in the world if i can say it) so it's a win-win if i really did LD with it too but well… you know the outcome already. But one day i tried this B1, B6 and B12 vitamin one when i did WBTB, i did have semi-lucid(?) one when anything out of place like who in the world can pull blanket through the wall?????? Yeah it was me and i keep thinking it was normal to pulled blanket through the wall, i always like this when had ‘really dream-like scene and there no way you can witness an do it in real life’ and keep thinking it was okay, dam—- what an idiot 😭

But tell you what, after regularly consume B-complex and vitamin D3 frequently my dream became kinda vivid and my recall more better than before consume these vitamins. That's a great progress i guess.

And the recent supplements i just bought a week ago! Huperzine-A and Alpha-GPC! Sigh anything related to brain always expensive 😭 you guys know Galantamine? Yeah that one supplement also the most potent tool for induce LD due to people who review it on reddit, but sadly i can't bought it and you need prescription to buy it (and the price my god more pricey than those two i just mentioned… just why…😭)

Like how stupid i was, i consumed it both when WBTB, due to high choline in these two i am not surprised i was so sick and wanted to fainted after i woke up. Hard to falling asleep again but try to force it but i feel uncomfortable don't know why, and didn't get any dream, maybe because how high choline in my body that day, these two supplements work so fast like the effect will peak at around 10-15 min after you consume it.

I bought the 250 uhm mcg or mg(?) Huperzine-A i don't remember sorry ( i told you my memory is trash 😭 luckily this two main benefits is help with memory and cognitive) and uhm 600 mg Alpha-GPC 50% so you will only get 300 mg when you consume it one pill.

The question is why these supplements? Well, i can't explain it because i am not expert or really know, but choline is help with active brain when we are sleep, and like Galantamine which is for Alzheimer disease, these kind of supplements for Alzheimer found out to be effective and coincidentally induced LD, that curious isn't it? If you really want to know and curious search it up yourself because i can't explain more than this 🤣

Planning to using this for just once per week, because these supplements stay inside body kinda in a long time. I am out of method and kinda tired to always met with disappointment so i tried supplements, but it's also help my brain so i can't complain 🥲
