#ugh so much planning 😭 it was NOT this difficult with picking petals

[noahtally-famous]

funny how this fic started off as an "unserious" idea (not cracky, more so i didn't take it that seriously, it was basically so i could rotate certain characters from my head into a google doc), i didn't expect to care abt it as much as i do now like i have a basic chapter layout for half of the set chapter count, specific scenes prewritten, a planning doc with around five pages thus far, the basics (title, summary, etc), random scenes for it spinning around in my head, and a bit of chapter one and three pages of chapter four written 😭

and i started properly thinking stuff for and working on this fic like...two days ago

it was not supposed to be This Serious hfjkdhf

for once i’m not here yapping about jurassic world??? a shocking unforeseen development. a new era until i return to my roots. this is still a yap though (my bad girl) so it’s not too different 🙏

i’ve just binged your hogwarts dr tag and i’ve been influenced to make one of my own now— or like make an proper proper script and not one i made in the depths of 2020😭 HOWEVER! i am struggling!! i’m caught between sticking with my actual house or switching to slytherin for this dr cause i’m so unsure on how to be friends with the slytherin group otherwise 😔

i don’t think i could get into their inner circle as a hufflepuff and like, wdym i couldn’t sit in the common room with these people and plan the next trip to hogsmeade?? no sharing a dorm with the girls?? what? i think it’s my second house so it might not be so bad

i am also struggling with the whole family thing— originally i was gonna keep it not very interesting but extravagance is sounding way more fun and i have no idea on what to script my family is known for!! terrible times. how on earth did you come up with the amazingness that is your family (like omg grimm??? being the heir to an untouchable mysterious family that’s also a little scary?? amazing)

why is a hogwarts dr so difficult to script

do you maybe have any ideas girlie? i fear i’m going to kill off the few brian cells i still have rolling around 😔 also!! do you have a recommendations on how to script the ages/year ages (??) just thought about it and realised i’ve now recently become a year too old i think and i have no idea on what to do 😕 no pressure ofc!! much love 🫶

YIPPEE talking about more than one DR is just us looping our arms together and skipping around the multiverse and teeheeing

i tried to keep it short but apparently i'm in a world-class yapping mood today so i put it under la cut :

totally get this !! i've literally heard so many people torn over what house to be in because there's a weird pressure to pick your own. i think it'd work well either way !! there's forsurely an angle where you're the hufflepuff they "adopt," and your more hufflepuff-like qualities (work ethic, loyalty) offset them in a really necessary way. it gets boring if a friend group is an echo chamber and everyone is just extremely similar with a shared mindset on EVERYTHING, so i think it'd be really beneficial for everyone to have a dynamic where there's someone in the mix who's totally different from them. they could learn a lottttttt from having a hufflepuff around imo LMAO. but i totally get the common room hangout and dorm sharing thing, so if you wanna be close to them you'd make a terrific slytherin too. don't put too much pressure on yourself !! you're gonna have tons of fun either way

ugh i appreciate you sm if you had any idea how extensive the family history section of my script is ( i'm talking scripting every member of my linage and what they were known for going back like 86 generations ) you'd know it's almost more trouble than it's worth ( almost ) LMAO. i think having a group of things that are important to you, family and legacy wise, is really important and helpful for coming up with what sort of family you wanna script. going into scripting my family, i knew i wanted 1. a vibe similar to the Addams family—gothic and disturbingly scary but extremely loving, 2. intelligence and wealth LMAO, 3. that i wanted to be a dragon animagus and i wanted it to connect with my bloodline to make sense, since there aren't any other dragon animagi shown in Harry Potter, and 4. that i wanted my family to be connected to the Greek witch Circe in some way

those things all cobbled together and grew from there !! i'd say pick out a few things that are key to you and let the ideas flow. for example, if you like roses, you could script that your family is known for their historically massive rose gardens, and that your family is responsible for the production of all of the rosewater/rose petal products in the wizarding world. all of you smell like roses and your estate is surrounded by a massive garden that inadvertently serves as a gate, because of all the thorns. this is literally the most random idea of all time, but i’m just trying to say that the teensy-tiniest details can move outwards into these massive all-encompassing ideas. the things that are most important to you about your appearance, your style, your interests, your magic, your leisure activities and your family dynamics can all culminate into a really realistic and comprehensive family lineage if you pick them out. the important part is not bounding your creativity !! let it flow, even if the ideas seem random or silly, it's my firm belief that you can script anything into being both realistic and exciting/interesting. i know i rambled but i hope you get what i'm saying !!

as for your age going to school, i wouldn't be worried about it. i totally scripted that Hogwarts is a university because even though i'm 19 i am NOT missing out on the shenanigans

love u baby !! xx :^)
