while i did a gifset to showcase an armour set, i was also intrigued by just how different the animation is for the wizard class vs gale's unique animation:

wizard class animation

gale's unique animation

it's amazing to see not only just how quickly gale performs the somatic component of the spell, but also his efficiency of movement compared to the standard wizard animation.

there's a world of difference here, the difference between a wizard vs a prodigy, an archwizard and chosen.

He really thought he’s good with secrets, huh

One of my favorite things in a good romance is when scenes are repeated to show character growth/used to bookend the arc of the romance (Mr. Darcy sharing his feelings with Lizzy, anyone?) and today I’m thinking about the two scenes of Gale getting on his knees and taking Tav’s hand.

How it starts: Gale hesitantly letting Tav into his heart, letting Tav be the first person he’s shared the truth with, the first person whose touch he’s felt in over a year. The way that he clings desperately to their hand, needing their help but unsure if they will give it. The way that his expression is pleading but hopeless, his eyes dry as he awaits Tav’s judgement—because he knows that no matter what their answer is, the orb is growing more unstable, and this is probably the beginning of the end of his life.

How it ends: Gale, having not only let Tav into his heart, but given it to them fully. The way that he no longer needs to cling to their hand, but instead takes it gently, worshipfully, knowing this is the hand that saved his life. The way that there’s no trace of uncertainty in his expression, just fully bared emotion and adoration—because the orb is no longer a threat, Tav has said yes to his marriage proposal, and this is not just the beginning of the rest of his life, but the beginning of the rest of their life, together.

yk when you see someone share a finished handmade item that they clearly spent a lot of time and money on and it's just. The absolute tackiest thing you have seen in your life. And then you ask yourself why someone would waste all those resources on such an eyesore.

(no, of course you can't relate to that because you're a much nicer person than me)

In any case.

BEHOLD!

A wool coat!

The top fabric is handwoven and handspun, the whole thing is sewn by hand, too.

Leftovers. Barely anything, all things considered, which is very satisfying.

This thing took me well over 3 years to make, on and off. And now I'm done.

Thank you for your attention.

grian is so funny to me because he is all about posturing and performing. he has a strict moral code that he came up with which is divorced from everyone else's sense of correctness, but he loathes this. he hates the rules. he came up with the rules. it's entirely unnecessary to follow the rules, because they're his rules. but he has to be Correct so even if he hates it he performs like he's following the rules, even if that means abusing loopholes that he invents within his own moral code. sometimes he forgets himself, too! like he's not always successful at performing Correctness. but then he'll go back and justify it (im not red so the trap on dogwarts wasnt my fault it was scars) (guys i had to betray you to help king ren because thems the rules!) (i had to kill jimmy and mumbo because they attacked me)... he has to make a show of dragging his feet because he often questions his own rules, why they even exist, or even outright disagrees with himself! but because Those Are The Rules he has to follow them

(Unseen Academicals, Terry Pratchett) I think Shang Qinghua and Ponder Stibbons should have tea and compare notes about somehow accumulating so much behind-the-scenes power by doing menial jobs no one else wants that they could basically run the show if they wanted...

meanwhile we have Shen "meh good enough" Qingqiu

"Never saw one without the other, did you?"

"Nice one, James."

Sirius and Lily go on a “date” in fifth year because James and Sirius got in a small argument, and Lily agreed to go to Hogsmeade with Sirius cause she thought it was funny

The day Remus Lupin realises he’s in love with his best friend, and as a consequence is gay, he takes out any book he can find that may help explain his feelings.

He finds himself in the pages of the Iliad and the sonnet love declarations of Shakespeare.

Remus usually reads to learn but this time he’s doing it to understand, to feel and to empathise.

His identity grows from books and he yearns for experience, for love and connection - he has time to feel it all.

“nightmare” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 351 words

James loves Regulus. He really does, more than anything. But Regulus on little to no sleep can be a bit of a nightmare. James can handle Regulus’ most murderous glares and snarkiest insults, but sleepy, grouchy, cranky Regulus is one of the scariest things James has ever seen.

So, James has been dreading their 6am flight because he has to wake Regulus up at 4am. However, when James rolls over, he finds the other side of the bed cold and empty. Confused, James gets up to search for Regulus and he's not prepared for what he finds.

James walks into the kitchen and Regulus is standing at the stove singing and dancing while casually flipping pancakes.

“Reg?”

“James!” Regulus spins around and bounces over to James. “Good morning!”

“Good morning.” James says slowly. “What time did you wake up?”

“Oh, I didn’t.” Regulus tells him. “I never went to bed. I didn’t want to wake up this early, so I just decided to stay up, so I started drinking coffee last night around 10 and then I had an energy drink at midnight and then again at 2 and I’ve made a few more pots of coffee. How are you? Are you all packed? Any last-minute things you need to pack? Don’t forget your things from the bathroom. Did you shower? I already showered, so you can shower whenever you want. And I made breakfast. This is actually the second breakfast because I made some a few hours ago but then I realized it was too early and you wouldn’t be up yet, so I ate that and now I’m making another batch for you. There’s fresh coffee and I'm making blueberry pancakes, but if you want something else, I can make that also. Are you okay, you’re being very quiet.” Regulus says all in one breath and James just blinks at him several times.

“Reg…” James starts but he’s cut off when Regulus gives him a quick kiss.

“It’s going to be such a great day, James!” Regulus bounces back to the stove.

James has a feeling it’s going to be a very long day.

JAMES: Come on, try opening up! It’ll feel good

james listening to the playlist he knows regulus plays when he drives because he likes to think maybe they’re listening to the same song at the same time without knowing
