as a citizen of the USA, how would the characters from ahb! celebrate Fourth of July?
ahh okay!! this is actually so fun since im not actually in the usa for the fourth tomorrow (this is assuming that all ahb! characters are together and in the states and american or wanting to celebrate for the vibes aksjhg)
james is demanding that they all have a bbq. he's inviting everyone and in the most dad way possible he's 'firing up the grill' and making the burgers, the hotdogs, all of that (and he buys the most obnoxious apron to wear with george washington's face on it or a giant bald eagle that says 'bbq for freedom' or something like that lmfaoo)
barty and evan have actually spent the last 6 months collecting the most insane and definitely illegal fireworks to set off when they sun goes down and they get very excited at showing everyone their arsenal they've collected and they work all day to plan their firework show (they also set off so many roman candles and shoot them at each other)
marlene and lily get a boat and they take it out on the lake (marlene won't stop quoting that kodak black video that's like 'lemme drive the boat' but peter is the boat captain and he will NOT be letting her drive) they go tubing and peter is evil and makes it his mission in life to throw them off hahaha
remus is the kitchen and he's teaching sirius how to make the best lemonade and sweet tea anyone will ever drink because he has a recipe™️ and he's perfected it and he doesn't trust anyone else to make those drinks and sirius is doing his best to listen but really he's more interested in curating his 4th of july playlist with all the best super cheesy music for the day (yes american girl by tom petty and also party in the u.s.a by miley cyrus those vibes)
dorcas and mary are in charge of the red white and blue jello shots (what i would give for some of those tomorrow is insane) and they make them wayyyy too strong and they make way too many but it's fine
Tumblr media
(and later mary sets up a little table to do face painting and temporary tattoos (obs all american themed) like they do for kids at a carnival) and barty is COVERED in bald eagles and american flags and stars asakgh
Tumblr media
and regulus is in charge of making sure nobody dies (like james doesn't light anything on fire or barty and evan for that matter and there are no explosions and that the boat doesn't crash etc etc) BUT he also HE ALSO goes to old navy and gets everyone a MATCHING FOURTH OF JULY FAMILY SHIRT YK THE ONES????? BC JAMES PRACTICALLY BEGS and who is regulus to say no???

🍓🔪☁️
i thought you were referencing a song coming out from this band i know and i was like ?
but omg ask game!!
🍓how did you get into writing fanfiction🍓
omg this is serious loree. so ive been reading ff for a good few years and so do two of my irl friends (the only ppl who know i read ff in this day and age irl) and we were all in the harry potter fandom. then we were like, we should make our own JOKE fanfic, and we're were like planning it all out for fun w y/n and shit and then we actually wrote it😭 it has four chapters and it's on wattpad but it's the most insane cliché shit and probably the funniest thing I've ever done LMFAOO
and then months and months after that i tried to do my own little things but they were all terrible. but then jan 2023 i started like seriously writing. the first proper fic (multichap) i tried to do kinda crashed and burned and the other ones never made it past a few thousand words. the writing was good i just dk how to make a story😭 anyway then in september i wrote a full hp one shot even though im not in the fandom anymore?? tried to reform my multichap and wrote a few more chapters then was like wait, this still isn't working (for plot reasons).
writing is hard but rn im working on a clyde biography which is easy enough bc it's it's basically just all my head cannons❤️
🔪what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project 🔪
usa secret service LMFAO
i was writing this bodyguard x presidents daughter clybe fic and i was like.. is he even necessary??
turns out that yeah the american president has a stupid amount of guards for him AND his family and some of them live in the white house
i was basically js trying to figure out if a personal bodyguard was a reach
but that's been scrapped bc honestly it would've just been a rip off of an incredible bodyguard fic from another fandom that i read, but oh to dream
the first chapter actually bangs though i read it over a few months back and i was like damn who wrote thiss
im also considering on becoming a baby electrician bc i feel like electrician clyde x terribly built house bebe would be SO cute, but if need to know so much for it to work, thoughts?
☁️what made you choose your username☁️
basically there was an era where i was like oh i should probably get socials so i made an ao3, twitter, discord etc and i just picked two random words for each. for ao3 my first username was savage toes but i forgot abt it so i made a new acc
i picked mardytoast bc my friend, who knows i read ff has a cat called melba, and she was talking to me one time and she was like oh it's melba as in melba toast and i was like oh okayy
so when i was making my user i used that but obviously im not stealing her cats name so i chose some other word that started with m
and im actually not joking i literally created the word mardy scholars would say i COINED the phrase. like i remember i was just like okay mardy i guess. AND IN FEBRUARY I FIND OUT MARDY MEANS ANGRY GRUMPY MOODY?? like explains that arctic monkeys song but damn. so if anyone's wondering I DO NOT CLAIM THAT im just mardy with no meaning
and in september (?) i created this acc bc this writer i was going to beta read for wanted to be able to contact me outside of email so i really quickly made this and just used my ao3 username!
omg and whenever she sends me the doc with the chapter she titles it 'Mardy's Copy' and the first time I saw it i had this out of body feeling and i was like WOAH...i guess im mardy now
(and also our one on one channel in her discord server of betas was called mardy's seat like cutee)
so now me and my username have merged and i genuinely feel like my name is mardy😊
so mardy is the alias i use on all accounts where ppl i actually know don't follow me!!
send in more asks pls i love talking abt myself
the ask game is in my recent reblogs <333
