it was clear that she relished the opportunity to spit something mean back at him. as her expression darkened, she might have been bella’s twin. nevermind that what he said was potentially hurtful. nothing rodolphus could say to her would ever matter enough to seriously wound her, she decided. 

“ and despite your noble upbringing, you are still an ugly, insufferable brute. ”  replied his sister-in-law, “ i wouldn’t be giving out criticism if i were you. not when you’ve got a face like yours, and a demeanor so foul. ” 

she examined her manicure as she spoke, only glancing up at him when she finished so to gauge his reaction. her temper was restrained ( for now ) but in the absence of others she might easily forget herself.

“ what do you want? ” her voice was soaked in malice, but her glare was that of a petualant child. “ or did you come by just to insult me? ”

what flower are you?

ORCHID ---  You are stubborn and you know it. Self aware and hard to impress, you have a close circle of friends and like it that way. You are beautifully unique, with interests that span far and wide. Likely the dark horse of the family, you've always felt misunderstood. You are a creature of habit and avoid change if possible. You are a selfless and giving lover, seeing your partner as the light of your life. Those who are lucky enough to get to know you, would do anything to keep you within their lives. You are unapologetically yourself and value others who are the same. But sometimes, you miss out on opportunities due to your stubbornness and perhaps feel like life is passing you by. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone my love, everyone you encounter there will find you just as exquisite as you always hoped to be.

                                                                           The audacity of the girl! 

         Teeth gritted harshly against one another as the matriarch witnessed the wave of words fall from her niece’s lips. Walburga would have never spoken out of turn like that against her elders, her betters, at that age. Yet - here was her youngest brother’s middle daughter, speaking with all of the freedom she thought she had any right to!

        Chin raised, back straightened. She wasn’t tall by any means, but it had never mattered. Walburga Black managed to capture the room with her dominance alone. “How dare you speak this way to me, girl?” this time, her voice was surprisingly low for someone known for their terrible tirades. “How dare you think to interfere in how I raise MY sons. Since when are you an expert, hm, Andromeda? In raising children?” A step closer — a raised brow that challenged the other to speak against her. 

        “Do you propose I leave him be? Run rampant without a guiding hand to lead him back to the right path? My son will do as I say, and I suggest you keep my parenting out of your business.” This had been mild for Walburga’s usual doing, if only because she wanted to give her niece the chance to amend.

she might have been brave enough to hold her ground against the onslaught of anger from her dear auntie, but she could not control the shudder that shook her frame. walburga black had a way of undermining any bit of independence, any notion of free thought, that andromeda had. when distanced from her, it was easy to laugh at the woman’s ridiculous fanaticism, but in her presence... 

“ are you the expert then? ” asked the other, “ on raising children? i suppose i wouldn’t know that, would i? seeing as you didn’t raise me. but that’s besides the point, isn’t it?

though married and grown, andy felt scarcely older than the child she was defending. sirius was just a teenager, still suffocating under the fist of toujours pur. and he, unlike his favorite cousin, already knew better than to submit to the whims of family. andromeda had not learned that lesson quickly enough. it was too late for her, but not for him. so with that thought in mind, she did not cower from her aunt. 

“ he won’t do what you say, actually. if you keep screeching at him like a banshee. ” it was here than andy thought she may have gone too far, so she tried to make an appeal, “ why don’t you let me help guide him? he listens to me ”

What a shame, for I dearly love to laugh.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY AS ELIZABETH BENNET | PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005) (dir. Joe Wright)

[abortionado]

I have a very sweet group of 13-14ish year old girls following me so I just wanted to say a few words about safety and grooming really quickly because I’ve been (hopefully needlessly) stressed about this and it’s sometimes more subtle than like. Asking for nudes

• Adults you meet online should not be talking to you about sex. Full stop. This includes smut, their sex life, your sex life, and “educating” you about sex. If an adult is talking to you about sex in ANY context, BLOCK THEM. Once again, THIS INCLUDES FANDOM SHIT. That is still inappropriate.

If you’re curious about sex, which is Totally normal, you can ask a trusted adult or mentor figure you know IN REAL LIFE, and if you don’t have one, there are lots of very straightforward and strictly educational resources at Planned Parenthood’s website and

• As much as I value younger girls as people (this is not a dig at y’all ❤️), it is weird to be an adult and be CLOSE friends with a young teenager. Even if you don’t perceive your interactions as inappropriate, it’s weird.

This is not because you’re not interesting or fun, but because adults really have nothing in common emotionally with eighth graders, and ALL of us know that. Every single one of us. An adult has nothing to gain from confiding in a person in a middle school. If a grown man or woman is telling you their deepest, darkest secrets, messaging you about their problems on a regular basis, or asking you to confide in them, that is a red flag. Block them.

• If an adult is complimenting you on your appearance in any way that you would not compliment an 8-year-old, BLOCK THEM. It’s completely not appropriate for an adult to tell you that you look hot, your makeup is sexy, etc. That’s fucking weird.

• If they talk about how mature you are for your age, BLOCK THEM. You might very well be mature for your age, but you’re not mature enough to change the fact that you’re in a completely different life stage than a grown adult.

(This applies to the 12-14 crowd—not telling you to block your 18 y/o friends if you’re 16 haha)

Oh if he doesn’t flatter himself then who will? It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it.

“Then I suppose imagining me chasing you for the rest of eternity is too much for you to handle?” The harsher she is, the softer he grows. Oh! He’s as squishable as a marshmallow. “How I wish you would keep me—Miss Andromeda, during our time apart, I’ll savor the memory of the laugh that fell from your lips.” So cruel! So honest! So beautiful! Howl bowls again, even lower, his forehead almost touches his shins, “I’ll win the next challenge in your name, sweet rose.”

flabbergasted is a good way to describe andy. horrified is a good adjective, too. this better not be a regular occurance. she’s regretting ever introducing herself to him. perhaps this is what she gets for seeking gossip about the foreign prat. do all beauxbaton boys behave like this? while any other girl might desperately wish to be the object of pendragon’s affections, andromeda would swap places with them in an instant. the thrill of being found desirable is not worth the embarrassment of his charms. and now he’s bowing again! she glances around nervously.

“ oh please, do savor the memory. and then take your wishing elsewhere. ” she’s no longer humoring him, convinced that he must be an idiot, or malevolent, for no boy has ever been so persistent. hasn’t she been icy enough? “ you’re very sweet, but you’d be smart to keep my name out of your mouth. best of luck on the next trial, howl pendragon. ” and with that, she flashes a passive aggressive smile and as she turns to start down the corridor, the grin falls into a look most sour. 

[disavowcd-archived]

gildedscripture·.

“What a lovely shade. The color of roses." Just as he said. "A good ruler is not always benevolent.” As she might have noticed, Howl enjoys a little roughhousing. A little mistreatment. Degradement. Especially from beautiful women. 

“But since you find such a title so abhorrent, oh Ruler of Men, I’ll keep the responsibility for now.” Ohhhh, look at that dreamy smile. That wink. “Until you find it suitable.” Heheh. He pats his breast pocket as if that was where he was keeping his heart (he left it in the fireplace), “Yes, it’s quite a wonderful house. I quite think I would have been sorted there had I chosen to come here.”

“ don’t flatter yourself, pendragon.” the snake is venomous at his acknowledgment of her blush. a glare takes over her soft eyes. “ how lucky for me that you did not choose to attend hogwarts. i can’t imagine enduring this pathetic attempt to woo me for seven years. ”  she’d run out of cold retorts for his flirtatious remarks if she had to be in proximity to him even for the rest of the term. andromeda black bristles like an unfriendly feral cat. she is not as immune to that charm as she’d like to be. “ in fact, i’m not sure i can endure another minute of this ” a mocking laugh comes from her lips, “ well---- i’m sure you have much to prepare for, seeing as you’re a triwizard champion. don’t let me keep you. ” she’s trying to tell him to fuck off politely, but she’ll be blunt if he refuses to take the hint. 

[disavowcd-archived]

it’s nearly midnight and i need you all to know that i am a fan of 100 gecs. i understand that this is a polarizing opinion, but i want to be honest with you all.

[disavowcd-archived]

gildedscripture·.

He repeats her name delicately, as if he were handling the most sacred of flames, “Andromeda.” Ah! It rings bells in his ears, “A fitting title for the future ruler of my heart.” Heh. He holds his hand over his chest, bows to her again. Waist deep. “Howl Pendragon, but you already knew that.” His real name is Howell, but she doesn’t need to know that, 

“I’m afraid I’m not acquainted with your house.” Why would he be? The Beaubatons students are seated with the Ravenclaws, and quite frankly, he doesn’t give a damn.

and now her pale face is warm pink. it shouldn’t be-- it really shouldn’t, but she can’t help feeling so caught off guard. it is not his flirting that makes her blush, but it might be the thought of someone seeking to know her, and the vulnerable feeling she has now that she can’t hide behind the aura of arrogance her name bestows on her. “ ruler of your heart ? ” echoes the witch, “ i’m afraid i might not be a benevolent ruler. i certainly have not asked for such a title.” andy narrows her eyes once more. he is still a man, even if he is oblivious to her status. he is still under harsh scrutiny. “ how silly of me to expect you to be. your dormitories are with ravenclaw, if i remember correctly? ”

[disavowcd-archived]

gildedscripture​.

Her recoil does nothing to dull his smile, if anything it fuels it. 

“Your name? I’ve not yet had the fortune of becoming acquainted with it.” Ah, must be a nobleblood, then. They’re always so uptight about these things, Howl thinks it’s silly. “Such a vision you are, I almost care not to hear it. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Oh he’s educated. And legit has zero idea who the fuck this witch is. “I only need to know the softness of your skin and the fire in your eyes." 

oh he must be joking--- she thinks at first, though she’s met with the stunning realization that outside of her mother’s family, there is little influence that british purebloods have in france these days. the revelation that she is as much as stranger to him as he is to her, paints the dandy in a new light. “ andromeda black ”  says andy, and there is noticeably less hostility in her voice, “ of the most noble and ancient house of black? ” the second part is said in a sort of jest, for it feels ridiculous to speak aloud that phrase she’s seen engraved all over her childhood home. she chooses to ignore the bit about her skin and eyes. has he really not been told of the heircharchy among the house of slytherin? 

[disavowcd-archived]

gildedscripture·.

Oh! What is that sound? The pitter pattering of his heart against his ribcage like a mallet on a drum? Yes. The sound of love. Cleary.

Howl dips back up, smiling brightly as if she had just told him he both won the lottery and her heart, “An honest word from your lips is worth more than any wonder I could find back in France, my lady.” He doesn’t miss a beat. "If I should return anytime soon, I would rather it be with your favor.“ His eyes are sparkling. He’s smitten. "Would you enjoy an afternoon of demeaning me in Hogsmeade, by chance?”

if she’s being honest with herself ( which she refuses to do ) his offer is tempting. andy’s smile becomes serpentine as she thinks of how fun it shall be to reject his advances. it’s not uncommon for her to receive attention like this from boys, though her suitors pale in comparison to the number her sister, narcissa, receives weekly. she is almost certain that his intentions lie beyond a mere hogsmeade date, for few wizard ever pursue her on looks alone. her hand recoils as if she’s touched something slimy. “ as much fun as i’m having demeaning you--- ” she purses her lips, as though contemplating, “ an entire afternoon of this melodrama is asking a bit much. you’ve known me all of 3 minutes, mr. pendragon--- but i suppose you didn’t need to know anything more than my name before deciding you were smitten with me. ” in fact, she had not actually introduced herself to him, but she was accustomed to her well-known lineage. 

[disavowcd-archived]

Under-impressed? Did she not see how he handled that dragon? Well it was less handled and more spoke to the dragon. Ended things peacefully, as they should be ended. 

“The honor is mine, miss.” His bow is flourishing and dramatic, as if everything in his life was meant to be played out for entertainment, “I feel more than welcome when divine creatures such as yourself approach me with conversation.” If she allows him, he’ll kiss her hand. What a ham. “Beauxbatons has many wonderous things, but only Hogwarts has you.” Smooth.

is that bile rising in her throat? the pureblooded noble narrows her eyes at the champion, brow furrowing in disdain. it is one thing for a man to speak to her, but ostentatious flirting is unacceptable. if howl pendragon’s voice rises in volume, she’ll be humiliated for fear of someone noticing. still, her mouth juts into a forced smile as she allows him to press her hand to his lips. he’ll not make her break her composure yet. “ i admire your boldness. not every gentleman is brave enough to make such a….. daring yet miserable attempt at flirting. ” she looks at him with haughty amusement, “ if beauxbatons has got so many wonders, perhaps you should return there. ”

[disavowcd-archived]

“ it’s an honor to meet you, mr. pendragon ” she smiles formally, a gives a nod of her head. she is overly polite, but under-impressed. “ you must be having an interesting term at hogwarts, since that goblet spat your name out ” andromeda is not one to talk to strangers, but the potential for gossip is irresistible. and how fun is it to speak to the foreign boy that all the witches of slytherin house were swooning over daily in the dungeons? not that andy was involved with that nonsense. “ i do hope you’re feeling welcome here. must be quite different than beauxbatons ”
