Hyperfixations Abound

I make videos sometimes.

for the @drarrymicrofic prompts: weak & mean. 370 words.

"Hermione come on! You can't just drag me into the library against my will!" Harry whined as they pushed through the wide double doors, his hand hanging limply from where his best friend clutched his wrist. "We've talked about this! Forcing your friends to study is just mean!"

Hermione rolled her eyes, but did not stop. "I'm not forcing you to study. But you need to be quiet now, okay?"

"Why would I-" A glimpse of bright blonde hair caught his attention. Hermione tugged sharply on his wrist again, this time leading him down an aisle where they just barely avoided being spotted by that particular Slytherin.

Together, they weaved through the aisles and, Hermione's various twists and turns giving Harry the impression that they were getting closer. His stomach flipped.

"Hey!" Harry whispered sharply. "What are we doing!?"

She stopped. "I was in here studying when I heard them, and I had to come get you so you could hear it for yourself. Now shut up, and let's go," Hermione snipped, her voice also low.

Not a moment later, they were leaning very, very carefully against a bookshelf listening closely to the conversation happening on the other side.

"Pansy, I really should go to the Hospital Wing," Draco was saying. "It can't be normal for one's knees to feel weak! And my face was definitely warm in class earlier! Right around the same time that my breathing went shallow!"

"Draco!" It sounded then like Pansy smacked him with something like a book. "How many times do I have to tell you in a single, five-bloody-minute conversation that you're not ill?"

"Then, please, explain it to me."

"You really want to know what's happening to you today?"

Draco said nothing, the answer too obvious to merit a response.

Pansy sighed audibly. "Alright, fine. Harry Potter walked into Potions after the summer holiday with a new haircut and a permanent smoulder, and you haven't learned how to cope yet. Happy?"

It took every ounce of self control in Harry's body to stay totally silent. And, well…not do something crazy like jump up and down joyously or…rush around the corner to ask Draco on a date or…something like that.

“Ugh can’t stand babies they cry so much!”

That tiny Human spirit has shat himself 4 times today if you’d shat yourself 4 times by noon you’d be in hysterics too

[asteroidtroglodyte]

He fell asleep in his bed, at home, and woke up at the goddamn grocery store with an overhead light in his face if that happened to you you’d become The Joker

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Poor guy’s only been here for like a dozen weeks he doesn’t even have a favorite show to distract him yet he’s just raw-dogging reality unfiltered with no goddamn Blorbos to rotate whatsoever

[scary-ivy]

Baby's first rotating blorbos

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Y’all are great I love y’all

[tineid]

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Everyone say “thank you crying baby”

Not Venus

@drarrymicrofic | prompt: retrograde | wc: 250

Harry gave an officious little nod and stood. “It’s decided then.”

Ron frowned. “We weren’t talking about anything, mate.”

“I’m going to do it.” Harry nodded again.

“Do what?” Hermione looked up from her book—honestly, who brought a book to pub night?

“I’m going to go talk to Malfoy. Draco.”

Ron spat out his beer. Hermione’s eyebrows shot up. “Are you sure that’s a good idea? Last time—”

“Last time was different,” Harry said. “I’m trying again. I don’t care if I’m bollocks at it.”

“It’s healthy to do things you’re not very good at sometimes,” Luna said as Ginny slid into the booth. “What are you trying?”

“He’s going to talk to Malfoy,” Ron said.

Luna frowned. “Oh, Harry, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“But you just said!”

“Well, you see, Mercury’s in retrograde right now, which makes communication difficult,” Luna said, eyes wide. “Disagreements are more likely, misunderstandings—well, you and Draco are already rather prone to those, aren’t you.”

“I don’t care how retro Mercury is,” Harry snapped, tossing back his pint. “I’m going to talk to him.”

**Three minutes later**

“Well,” Hermione said.

“That’s certainly not what I would call ‘talking’,” Ginny said with a grin.

Ron looked ill. “I can’t believe this is happening again,” he said, turning away from the sight of Harry’s hands trailing lower down Draco’s body. Draco’s hands were in Harry’s hair, unyielding, insistent.

“Oh, that’s all right then,” Luna said brightly. “Venus isn’t in retrograde, after all.”

The Pitt, S02E13 Sneak Peek

[penandinkprincess]

extremely endeared about the idea of shane and ilya babysitting the pike kids and shane getting assigned role of king because he's mostly just interested in sitting and spectating to make sure no one is actually getting hurt and meanwhile ilya is alternatively a dragon/enemy knight/friendly knight/horse depending literally on the second and which kid you ask

which also leads to the very funny moment of the twins bringing their "captive" to king shane for judgement of his crimes and shane not even lowering his sunglasses and going "off with his head"

ilya is just D:< you will not even TRY to argue clemency?? for your HUSBAND???

"sir ruby, what are his crimes?"

"smashing the village and eating ALL the villagers >:D"

"yeah, death for sure" *dismissive hand flick*

Tommy: I think you’re in love with Eddie, the former owner of this house

Buck: okay first of all Eddie did NOT own this house, he rented it. Second of all, he’s straight

Sheriff: I think you murdered your husband, Evan Buckley

Eddie: okay, first of all he likes to be called Buck. Second of all, I would NEVER murder him

[lezbianz]

being a humanities major who’s friends with stem majors is so funny because you’ll ask your friends what they’re doing today and they’re like “UGH it’s so stressful i have to stabilize the reactor core for my nuclear power midterm and then i have to build the supercomputer from i have no mouth yet i must scream for my electrical engineering homework :/ what about you” and you’re like “oh well i have to read a fun little book and write an essay about gender.” and they still think you have it worse

[freakinflipflop]

Being a stem major who's friends with humanities majors is ALSO funny bc you ask what's goin on with them and they're like "oh yeah my day's pretty good! I only have to read 50 pages for this one class today and half a book for another one. It's much better than last week where I read three books and wrote a 10 page paper about their overlapping motifs for one class while also researching a niche period of time that our library doesn't have any resources on. How's it been for you?" and you're like "oh I have a lil packet of fun math puzzles due tomorrow." and they look at you like you're carrying the weight of the universe on your back

[tesria]

This is your reminder that just because something falls within the skillset you've practiced, so you can do it and you don't find it particularly hard or stressful relative to other things, it doesn't mean it isn't actually hard work you should be proud of yourself for accomplishing!

[3amfanfiction]

this applies to writing and art, too

"he's here in spirit.. and in pastry" then spends the rest of the scene shoving pastries in his mouth

[autumn378]

This conversation between Hen and Eddie felt pretty significant to me. Because this wasn't just Hen giving Eddie her professional opinion, the statements are too personal. This was Hen equating her relationship with Eva (her ex who was an addict) with the relationship Eddie and Buck have. She was sharing advice/her personal experience of how it is to date an addict with Eddie. Because Eddie felt responsible for Buck the way Hen had felt responsible for Eva, and he needed to hear that it wasn't his fault and that he wasn't alone, because she too once had a partner with addiction issues.

Pynch is forever S tier because Ronan is like the first time I ever saw him I knew I had to have him, because subconsciously I knew he was the presence I dreamt of all those years ago in my loneliest of times, and I begged God for even the slightest sliver of a chance. And Adam is like the first time I saw him he outperformed me at groceries and that was when I knew I had to sell my soul to become an academic weapon. Also it wasn't him.

[eddiesmedbag]

eddie's smile after buck jokes with him about the chain of command. he didn't leave the man he loves knew in new mexico. buck may have needed help from their family to get there, but he made it home.

[equippedtolove]

shane hollander does not have a reserved 'baby voice' for kids. that man is holding proper conversations with the pike children. goo goo ga ga? yes, what an excellent take on the montreal property market. i must consider. truck red? mmm, i prefer green, but each to their own, i guess. hayden, who was asked by theriault to look out for shane in his rookie season and has now ended up with a 25 year old son, can only watch on in wonder as arthur pike learns what taxes are before attending a day of school.

[itsbatkingcazzle]

Shane Hollander continues to not share many personal photos on his social media post-relationship reveal. He'll happily appear in many of Ilya's posts and interact with them, but he still doesn't want to share too much of their personal life online to avoid scrutiny and unwanted attention. Sometimes this brings criticism and rumors, but mostly people get used to it and find it endearing, Ilya posts more freely and Shane is more reserved. Until one day Shane posts a video of a shirtless Ilya passed out on top of him, mouth a little open and hand hanging on to Shane's neck, with the caption "put him right to sleep" with "Tapout" as the audio. It goes so viral, it surpasses their relationship confirmation and wedding posts in likes in just a couple of days.

[pretty-fishy]

The scene was literally

Sam: I hope I get to see you guys again :)

Buck: Oh so you want people to die, that's what you want?

[hit-buck-with-a-car]

these two are gonna be unstoppable

[buckmybeloved]

no i mean it's driving me crazy. like buck and eddie bicker about "chain of command" suddenly in the opening scene of an episode. they bicker like a married couple again about the same thing right before the episode ends. and like okay, haha silly buck and eddie. fighting like husbands. and then nothing for a while and then BAM. right in the middle of a devastating episode, buck makes the little " you and that chain of command " joke, head tilting, a slight smirk playing. he's flirting. and eddie exhales the biggest breath that he has been holding forever because that's his baby boy. he made it out of new mexico and crawled right back to him. and they're gonna be okay. and what if we all jumped off a cliff together.
