I resent the accusations that Lucius would EVER be abusive towards Narcissa. Hes a WIFE GUY, he ADORES her, she is his LIFE, his BEST FRIEND AND CONFIDANT. Lucius abraxis malfoy is many things but cruel to his wife he is not. Even more I'm annoyed I have to defend Lucius honor on this matter BC he is a dick but not like that.
FYI Draco not wanting to kill Dumbledore isnโt cowardice, itโs him having a genuine moral conscience and an instinctive aversion to taking a life, which is way more than can be said about a good many characters in Harry Potter, including his own parents and aunt, none of whom have any moral issues with doing a fascist psychoโs dirty work (nor does Snape, honestly; remember Snape only left the Death Eaters because of Lily, not because of any realization that itโs wrong to commit genocide). Plus Dracoโs wand, the wand that CHOSE him, is unicorn core, which is canonically the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts; that kind of wand would never choose someone who is inherently evil. Iโm baffled by people who say Dracoโs hesitance in killing Dumbledore is somehow another addition to his admittedly long list of flaws; I guess I didnโt realize that discovering you donโt want to commit murder is a bad thing that should be condemned. Haters say that fans invented Dracoโs potential for redemption and he actually has no good in him whatsoever, but those haters clearly have not truly read the text.
The Parents
How yโall be in my ask box salivating over Lucius and/or Narcissa ๐ญ
Iโve said it once and Iโll say it again- stop victimizing Narcissa Malfoy. The take that she was this wonderful person who was simply a victim of her circumstances is absolutely hot garbage. The same goes for Regulus as well.
No. She was an evil girl boss who wore her heritage and pure blood beliefs like a badge of honor. She was the matriarch of one of the wealthiest and most prominent wizarding families in the WORLD.
Lucius also wasnโt this โabusiveโ father that you all paint him out to be. He loved Draco dearly- and he spoiled him as such (even if some of his parenting methods were questionable). He was trying to keep his family alive while also being an asset to Voldemort. He took the hits for his family MULTIPLE times. I think a lot of you take the movie version of him at face value without actually looking at the context.
Narcissa quite literally threatened Harry when he taunted her about Lucius being in Azkaban. She also stood up for him to Bellatrix multiple times. The Malfoys were loyal to each other to a fault.
Bad people can still love each other!!! Let evil female characters be evil!!

So one of the things that can be hard for people first starting out with bookbinding is both the money sink that it can be, and also the resources you might need. This prompted a discussion in the Renegade Bindery Discord (invite link found on our carrd), and wretch on there made this helpful graphic for people just starting out.
If you have anything else you'd like to add, feel free to reblog/reply to this post. Happy bookbinding!
i used a pushpin in place of an awl for a year or so. if the hole was too small, i widened it with a larger needle
the cardboard from the back of old sketchbooks/pads of legal paper also works fine (the former is generally better than the latter, but iโve made both work)
Book binding 101: Materials
Iโve decided to do a series of posts on how to book-bind since I talk about it a lot, and I think itโs a really fun process. This post will include various inexpensive alternatives to โprofessionalโ supplies, many of which you will have at home. Not everyone can afford a cricut and thatโs ok! I will also be listing more expensive materials for people who want to invest a bit more into the craft, but they absolutely are not a must.
This first post will focus on a list of supplies you can use to make books, but will not yet get into the instructional part of it. That will come later!
Anywayโฆ
Bookbinding Materials: Essentials
These are items you need to bind, but many you can find around your house!
Sewing thread: Any thread will work for bookbinding, though waxed threads can help reduce tangles. You can also double up thread as another way to prevent tangling if you so choose. Waxed thread is definitely more expensive, so it can be good to use what you have starting out. Hereโs a link to the waxed thread I used for those that are interested. You can buy it in a lot of different colors! (White is good if want an โinvisibleโ thread).
Sewing needle: A lot of people say to use a curved needle for binding, but Iโve never found it to be much different from using a regular needle. If you have one, I would recommend a larger needle, however, since itโs better for piercing through signatures (aka the stacks of pages you bind together). In other words: thereโs no special needle you need to bind books.
Ruler: Iโd recommend any metal ruler since itโs better to use as a straight edge for cutting. Thereโs a good chance you already have one. Itโs just used for measuring and being a straight edge. Nothing fancy.
Paper: Any paper will work. What you wanna use depends on your project really: if youโre binding together a work of text youโll want to use some kind of printer paper (of course). If youโre making a sketchbook, you can fold up some sketching paper. I like to get sketchbooks with perforated edges so I can tear them out easily if I want to use a blank page for bookbinding. You can also buy large sheets of paper made for any medium. For example, if you want a sheet of water color paper, just search โlarge watercolor paper sheetโ.
Awl (or all alternative): An awl is a tool used to poke sewing holes. Itโs nice because itโs sharp and ergonomic, but you can totally also use a pushpin or even a sewing needle.
Bone folder (or a bone folder alternative): A bone folder creates sharp creases when you fold your pages, making them lay flatter. It also helps define the hinge gap on finished books, making it open easier. You can use a ruler if you donโt have one.
PVA glue: PVA glue is what to look out for when it comes to binding glue. There are some designed specifically for bookbinding, which spread out a bit faster than ones that arenโt. You can also use tacky glue which IS a PVA glue.
Book board: Also sometimes called chip board, Davey board, or mat board. This is what youโll use for hard cover books. It is important to use book board specially, as cardboard will warp. You can buy book board directly, or you can cut the covers off of old textbooks or binders, unwrap the paper/plastic around the board, and use that!
Box cutter or utility knife: for cutting the board
Decorative paper and book cloth: For wrapping around cover boards and for endpapers. Book cloth can also be used to cover boards. You can also draw your own designs on Bristol paper if you want (or any paper with a similar thickness/durability). When it comes to decorative paper I like to either get scrapbook paper or rolls of fancy handmade paper (you can get those on Etsy, through paper source, or through bookbinding websites).
Bookbinding materials: Optional (and not crazy expensive)
These are supplies that you donโt need for binding but that can make the process easier and/or help with the decorative elements of your books. Iโd recommend these things for when youโve been binding for a while and feel these things could be helpful!
Paper trimmer: can cut a few sheets of paper evenlyโI find it really helpful for endpapers
Stencils: Super helpful if you want to add text on the covers
Stamps: Good for adding text and also great for adding illustrations if youโre not able to draw them on your own. You can buy ink pads for them or use markers by coloring over the stamp lightly and using the stamp immediately so it doesnโt dry (Iโve tested this with alcohol markers and it works very well)
Paint markers: great for drawing directly on the cover. Since theyโre opaque they can imitate the look of vinyl. You can also get them super painterly if you want. The internet usually talks about poscas but there are tons of different brands. Do some research, figure out what you like & can afford.
Hot foil pen & heat transfer foil: Perfect if you want to add foil to your covers but donโt want to spend a ton of money on a cricut. A lot of binders uses the foil quill brand, but there are ones that cost less and work the same (I have both a cheaper one & an actual foil quill because I wanted some nib variation. As long as the pen has good reviews that arenโt from bots you should be good). Also remember: donโt use foil designed for going through laminators (I.e. decofoil) . It doesnโt work the same way.
Bookbinding MaterialsโExpensive
These are materials Iโd recommend for people who have been bookbinding for a while & feel that itโs something they really want to invest in. To be fully transparent, Iโm a college student and donโt own these and have little personal experience with them. However, I know a lot of binders who love them!
Cricut machineโCricuts are cutting machines that can make precise cuts into paper, wood, bookboard, or vinyl. A lot of binders will cut designs out of vinyl and apply them to the covers using a heat press.
Book pressโWhat it sounds like. The pressure helps the pages lay flat and stay even. That being said you can stack heavy books on top of your projects, it just may not have the same even pressure. I also know some people will DIY these, so if youโre skilled with power tools you can give it a go!
Paper guillotineโlike a paper trimmer but bigger and can cut more sheets of paper at once. I believe really good ones can also be used to cut bookboard!
Those are all the materials I can think of! Hope this can work as a good starting point for those interested in the craft. Iโll definitely be posting more info about bookbinding for people who are interested :)

How to bookbind your fanfic!
Part 1: From AO3 to printing
The necessary first step is turning your AO3 fanfic into booklets. Your whole book will be a bunch of booklets piled on top of each others and stitched together.
Booklet examples:
Btw, this is the official Word tutorial on how to make a booklet.
You can see there are different options. I usually do 8 pages, which is what you will see in the video. This means that a booklet of 8 pages is two sheets of paper, printed front and back, folded and one put inside the other. To have your word pages in the correct order you will need to format your word document.
Everything is in the video but here is the text for easy reading (btw the fanfic I used is Exit by schwutthing, an amazing Valjean/Javert fic)
Do not download the fanfic on AO3. Click on "Entire work" and copy paste it on word.
Format your word document. Click on File-> Margins. Select "Multiple pages: Book fold" and "Sheets per booklet: 8". Put "Gutter" to 1cm.
Double click on the empty area just above your text, on a random page of the document. This will make the "Do not download the fanfic on AO3. Click on "Entire work" and copy paste it on word.
Format your word document. Click on File-> Margins. Select "Multiple pages: Book fold" and "Sheets per booklet: 8". Put "Gutter" to 1cm.
Double click on the empty area just above your text, on a random page of the document. This will make the "Header and Footer" option appear. You can click on "Footer" and select the format for the pages' number. Always add the pages number, it will make your life easier.
Now you can justify your book. I usually justify (select all text with CTRL+A and click on Justify), but keep in mind that some documents might not enjoy passing through "justify" so double check your final document. For example, if there are lines of poetry and the author wrote into the next line without starting a new paragraph the justify option will make it weird.
Make your book pretty! I added some illustrations and blank pages. I also made the title of the fanfic bigger.
Fix the chapters' titles and notes. I clicked on Home-> Find and searched for "Chapter", so I could select on each chapter title and make it bold, and also delete the "Chapter text" added just after. You can do the same with "notes" in case you want to delete notes.
Now it is time to print! I prefer to save in pdf before, so I will do that.
IF YOU HAVE A PRINTER THAT DOES NOT PRINT BOTH SIDES
Click on print
Select "Microsoft print to pdf"
Select "Manually print on both sides"
This will create two different files pdf, one for the front pages, and one for the back pages.
Click on the file for the front pages and print them all. Do not panic if you see the pages number all over it.
Now take your printed (only on one side) block of pages and load it into your printer again, making sure that you will now print on the blank back. Open your back pages pdf file and print.
(you can do a trial with a few pages to see if everything is lining up correctly).
IF YOU HAVE A PRINTER THAT PRINT BOTH SIDES
"Click on print
Select "Microsoft print to pdf"
Select "Print on one side"
This will create a single pdf that you can print on your both-sides printer. You will see that the page are not in the order you had on the word document, but the whole file will start with page 8 (see video).
Now print!
What you want is this:
You can see that on the front you have page 8 first, page 1 after, because when folded it will end up with page 1 at the start of your booklet! And on the back of this first sheet you have 7 and 2, that will end up in the correct position.
Now you will have a lot of pages... time to fold and create your booklet! Every two sheets... you will fold as you see above.
Next post will be specifically about folding the booklet, making the holes and sewing them together.
A scandalous Hamilton mini comic!!
paladin mike taking off his armour in front of will and will seeing all his battle scars
"are you alright? do those hurt? how did you get them?"
"they're from battle, will. i'm alright. i'm okay."
mike taking off his sweater in front of cleric will and cleric will seeing all his-
"your arms are scarred from fighting, just like my michael."
"um... yeah. yeah i guess they are."
Whatever, go my rant (This is related to the last post)
The way Cringe Culture has negatively impacted fandom spaces needs to be studied. Of course, you have the old Animation Meme Cringe Compilations of the past (Which were just an excuse for grown adults to clown on children for the crime of making animations for people to enjoy btw), but it's still happening today. You like something like Dandy's World for example, and you get called a cornball for. Liking something that people think is cringey. The same happens to beginer artists. They get clowned on for having art not up for their standards. So many artists quit because of people being rude about their art. Most of these people are children and are nurodivergent in some way. The people doing the bullying are most likely grown adults and are not nurodivergent. These people most likely want an excuse to be ableist to kids and call them slurs. And the fact people defend this stuff makes me wanna rip my hair out. "Oh do what you want forever is a bad faith take!!" GOD FORBID SOMEONE WANT A WAY TO ENCOURAGE THEMSELF THAT THEY AREN'T BEING STUPID FOR DOING SOMETHING "Cringey". Most of the time, these kids aren't even doing anything problematic like fetishizing dark subject matters, they're just having fun. Please, block things you don't wanna see, and stop bullying innocent kids
the dynamic between heinz doofenschmirtz and perry the platypus would probably come off as v romantic and gay if they were two people in a similar age range rather than a dude and a platypus. no i dont ship them but think about it. villainous monologues are already a very romantic and gay thing in itself (donโt question me on this you know im right). listening to somebody ramble excitedly about something theyโre proud of is even more romantic and cute af. also doofensmirtz is already gay anyway. the only thing preventing this from becoming Peak Gay is the fact that perry is strictly professional and also a platypus. thanks for coming to my ted talk
โPerry is strictly professional and also a platypusโ
I love the fact that โprofessionalโ is the first reason and โplatypusโ is the second, because this is extremely plausible for Perry.
โYeah no I canโt fuck Iโm on dutyโ.
Did you know thatโฆ?
1.Doofenshmirtz isnโt evil anymore,allowing Perry to date him
2.Romance betweet animal/human isnโt frowned upon in the Dwampyverse
we even got humans falling in love with inanimate objects, albeit played for laughs
one of Doofenshmirtzโ dates ditched him for a whale
Look, Iโm not that knowledgeable about Phineas and Ferb lore (although Iโm very glad that my post resonated with the Gay Scientists Dating Tired Platypuses fandom) but what, pray tell, the fuck is going on? am i having a stroke? im willing to accept the teacher falling in love with her desk because language teachers just are like that but is this nerd about to bang an ice cone?? hello?????
Let us also pop bottles for the time Doofenshmirtz had to help his ex-thwarty callโs current nemesis become desirable for punching again.ย
Thatโs a funny history actually.Peter the Panda is also dating his respective nemesis,he even got to met his parents
โโour boy is all grown upโโย โโwhy is he a panda bearโโ
had me crying
I think there was a scene where Peter and Perry were having dinner together at a fancy restaurant. But that was before Doofenshmirtz stopped being evil.
what the fuck is going on in Phineas and Ferb
@deenalloh you have to watch milo murphyโs law season 2 to know whatโs going on with Doofenshmirtz life.He stopped being evil to commit to his future self: โโProfessor Timeโโ inventor of time-travel and a public figure.
and he is trying to be a good guy now
also thereโs 2 more time lines where he ends up good
1.Science teacher
2. O.W.C.A agent (The OWCA Files)
this universe is big and vast and doesnโt end at Phineas and Ferb
Okay but saying that just because some people in that universe are in love with animals/inanimate objects doesnโt mean itโs normal.
I mean, in our universe, someone wanted to marry the Eiffel Tower.
yeah..but you see..thereโs this wonderful thing in cartoons that real life doesnโt have and its animals being actual sentient/anthropomorphic. So,you canโt compare our life with a cartoon ship in this case
Also Perry is arguably one of the smartest characters on both shows when it comes to deductive reasoning, common sense, and social intelligence. He could tell just by looking at a room exactly what happened there a few hours ago. He can problem-solve on the fly, and does so very often. He has basic engineering skills (or at least, โbasicโ for this universe, which is kinda masterful for our universe), and can communicate complex thoughts to others despite being physically incapable of speaking English (he even knows ASL!) To claim that Perry the Platypus is incapable of providing consent simply because he isnโt human is a disservice to his character. And honestly, if weโre going by the anthropological definition of โhumanโ (bipedal, opposable thumbs, ability to communicate complex thought), then he is by all means โhuman.โ Heโs justโฆ A Human Platypus. โฆ?
Also Doof is legally an Ocelot
Itโs canon. In the OWCA Files. Him legally being an ocelot is what allows him to be an agent.
Yeah, in one part of his long, tragic backstory, he was abandon and raised by ocelots
I was wondering when someone was gonna bring up the ocelot thing
@looney-mooney I agree with this vit thereโs one thing, even if Perry has amazing deductive reasoning he has to at least fall to one trap. Thatโs just the law of nature.
@oceanic-panic-panic bold of you to assume that Perry doesnโt let himself get trapped on purpose at least 2/3 of the time. Perry always escapes the traps. And he always waits for Doofenshmirtz to finish monologuing before escaping from them. Itโs part of their routine, something they both expect: Perry bursts in, gets trapped, patiently listens to doofโs rant of the day, escapes the trap, fights his nemesis, and blows up the Inator. Whenever this routine is broken, they work to maintain it anyway - I can think of at least like 3 instances where Perry purposefully, politely traps himself, and several more where Doofenshmirtz gets impatient and sets Perry free from the trap himself so they can fight.
Perry getting trapped isnโt a sign of some intellectual folley - itโs a sign of his incredible problem-solving skills that he can escape them so easily, and a sign of his social intelligence that he knows to politely wait until his nemesis is ready to stop venting and start fighting.
But why does Perry need to be trapped for his nemesis to vent? Easy. Doofenshmirtz is a victim of severe child abuse, and needs to feel as though heโs somewhat in control of the situation before allowing himself to be vulnerable. Perry being trapped makes him feel safe, and Perry catches on to this. Itโs an intricate social dance that none of his coworkers have mastered, the ability to communicate with and accomidate for a villain with special needs. And though it takes the whole summer, they eventually donโt even need the traps, because Perry makes Heinz feel safe.
I mean, back on the Peter the Panda line, being a nemesis was always supposed to be analogous to being in a relationship anyway. I think of this way more as an โarranged relationship turns to true loveโ story than an โenemies to loversโ one.
โโYou probably look at Perry the Platypus and me and think itโs a match made in heaven. But it wasnโt always this way. Back in the day, O.W.C.A. assigned agents willy-nilly, with no regard for personality conflicts or basic compatibility issues โฆ like a bad blind date!
Why, when I first met Perry the Platypus, I didnโt even know what kind of an animal he was. Whoโs ever heard of a teal platypus?! And I gotta tell you, he got on my last nerve โฆ always staring at me, judging me. You know how he is.
Well, I was ready to call it quits. I even called Major Monogram to see if I could get another nemesis assigned. Something a little less semiaquatic. But thank goodness, Francis said to give it a little more time to see if things could work themselves out. And you know what? They did!
Now I wouldnโt trade my nemesis for anyone in the world. Oh, sure, he still infuriates me and I try to eliminate him on a daily basis, but thatโs just what I do.
So, if your first encounter with your mortal foe isnโt perfect, donโt despair! It gets better โฆ usually.โโ
Iโd say both are correct
Foeplay*
whereโs that post about the OWCA agents just being emotional support animals for the โevilโ scientists
Iโm surprised at how nobody mentioned how much the show ships them itself. Itโs not just the fansโ whim
(Not pictured: the whole Peter the Pandaโs arc)
In conclusion: The show wants you to ship them
EVERYBODY WAKE UP. Itโs canon now. (one sided at least) Checkmate. The post is over
I FINALLY SAW THIS IN PERSON AND ITโS GOTTEN EVEN BETTER!!!
IT JUST KEEPS GOING???
Do you like the colors of Perryshmirtz?
phineas and ferb heritage post
I apologize I was expecting a day of depressed brooding and silently crying in my room not Perryshmirtz: a deep dive into quite possibly most fascinating and unique relationships in modern media
Also see all the times Vanessa turns to Perry as a quasi parent when she feels her dad is being unreasonable and asks him to help
Perry is canonically part of the family
I knew younger me knew ball when I first became the hardcore perryshmirtz shipper that I am today
If I had the money to fund any theatre production I wanted I'd produce a lesbian version of Legally Blonde where both endgame love interests (Emmett and Kyle) are butch lesbians and there's an implied background romance between Vivian and Enid (literally just bc I want it and we can always have more lesbians).
Elle's story with Warner would lean into the comphet of it all. Paulette's backstory of dating someone she didn't really love but "if [she] squinted" he looked like what she wanted would work so well for a later in life lesbian.
Yes the line where Callahan uses lesbian with derogatory intent to get a rise out of Enid might feel a little more out of place but that man does not view women as people enough to recognise any lesbian that's not Enid levels of archetypical.
Also hot butch delivery driver is something that would automatically make anything basically perfect. It's a no brainer.
I have a vision and it's of the most butchfemme production we have ever seen. I need it. Someone please give me insane amounts of money I promise it will be so so good
Not that I think all marriages are doomed but when deciding who to marry you should ask yourself โis this someone Iโd want to divorce?โ As in, is this someone I believe would be mature and fair, even when theyโre upset and donโt particularly like me at the moment. Is this someone I could continue to trust while going through an adversarial process? And if the answer is no, donโt marry them.
this is how that one scene in blood of olympus went right
