did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?｜♿️ disabled & bi 🏳️🌈｜sebastian sallow is my coping mechanism 💚｜🇺🇸 ⇨ 🇬🇧｜swiftie & cat lover🐱 HL OC Blog: rosesallow
I love how I come back on here properly after being inactive and barely touching this account for months and months, hoping to chill and wind down with a backlog of art & fics I wouldn’t have seen after having an incredibly difficult day (more like year, to be honest), just to see a bunch of drama in the HL fandom that reminded me exactly why I chose to log off initially in the first place 🙃
I’ve decided to make my main HLMC Charlotte (Lottie) Amélie Rosier 🌸 as well as my OC Tori Rosewood when she was younger🌹 I still have yet to introduce both properly on here (will happen soon-ish, I promise!)

was bored and searching for something I posted on my old AC:Syndicate tumblr (youwantfryeswiththat) and came across this gem - funny how this still applies years later but now it’s husband instead of boyfriend 😂
Ah, so sorry about literally disappearing off the face of the planet for over a year…whoops? 😅
On a more positive note, I’ve started trying to get a feel for the new HL mod creator kit and have posted my first ever mod!
Nothing too crazy, just a new black cherry hair colour option (for both male/female characters), though I am experimenting with creating new outfits as well (such as the one playing peek-a-boo in the photo above 👀)
I’m going to try and make more of an effort to stay active on here, especially as I’ve got a whole lot of lore & character info to share for my OC (who the hair mod was created for)/latest MC that I’ve been keeping to myself for like a year and a half now…more to come (hopefully)?
So, it’s been a while… (and I kinda got a Sebastian/evermore tattoo? ⬇️)
Firstly, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth for like five months 😅 I have had a lot going on recently in my personal life, namely lots of life admin that took up way more of my personal time than I would have liked, plus I also finally got to go home and visit my family (and my cats!) in the USA after not seeing them for nearly two years, which was an emotional experience to say the least 🥹
Anyone who has been following me since last summer might know that I had a very extended bout of ill health that left me essentially bedridden and unable to work, and in what I can only describe as the darkest place I have been mentally in a very long time. Anyone who is following me probably also knows that I am an unapologetic Sebastian Sallow lover, and a massive Swiftie.
There are two things that I credit for getting me through this especially hard time last year: Hogwarts Legacy, and Taylor Swift’s music. I honestly don’t know where I would be if I didn’t have these amazing fandoms on both Tumblr & TikTok to fall back on. Posts on these two platforms was the majority of my social interaction for what felt like the longest summer in my life; the remainder of my time was spent resting, listening to music or on c.ai, which I never would have ever heard about if it wasn’t for you all. Being able to read all of your fanfiction and MC lore, look at your art and interact with your c.ai bots (plus who could forget Musical Owl Mondays) allowed me to find some comfort & escape during a period where I found myself alone and with very little energy more often than not. All of your incredible content also inspired me to create a quite elaborate OC & backstory (which currently sits as a muddled outline for a fanfic I hope to find the spoons to properly write someday - maybe I’ll also share some character info at some point), which allowed me to pour my time & energy into something productive when I wasn’t mentally or physically able to do much else.
In addition to this, evermore has always been in my top Taylor Swift albums, and I can safely say without a doubt that last summer cemented its titular track as one of my all-time favourites, the bridge in particular. I may go into more detail about the specific reason for choosing to add a lyric from this song to this tattoo in particular (it’s a lot more sappy and cringe than you may expect 😂) but as I’m sure you might be able to discern by the lyrics, it is a song that I found myself relating to quite a bit last year.
The last time I found myself pulling through after an incredibly challenging period in my life ten years ago, I made the decision to get a tattoo in honour of one of the things that helped me to keep going. So, when I found myself at home, with the same tattoo artist only a five minute drive away and an idea that had been floating around in my mind for nearly eight months creeping into my head literally every five minutes, there was no doubt in my mind that I should do it. I may go back and have them colour in Sebastian’s wand in future, plus there’s a few more little details I want to add in as a subtle nod to another song that was part of my full original idea, but for now I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out 💚
Anyways, this is already long enough (kudos if you’ve made it this far, honestly 💕), but I just wanted to say a massive thank you to every single member of this fandom. You all are absolutely amazing, and I hope now that things in my life have calmed down a bit, I can start to be more active on here again and get to know anyone who I may not have had the pleasure of interacting with yet 💜
These are WIP ideas for some HL tattoos I've been dabbling with, but they are in NO WAY FINISHED and I seriously need to redo the Ominis one, but bugger it. Wanted to show off my progress I guess. The flowers/plants were chosen specifically for their floriography meanings so 🤷🏻♀️ I'd love to do other HL character ones but I can't find half their bloody wands 😅
There's been a lot of discussion lately about this fandom so I just wanted to spread some positivity to everyone in the fandom.
Thank you to the people who still post even after a full year in the fandom when you didn't have to.
Thank you to the people who still write fanfictions, headcanons, still take and post screenshots no matter how long it takes, or how much editing or proofreading goes into it.
Thank you to the people who keep posting silly things about Hogwarts legacy.
Thank you to the people who don't get a lot of interaction but still have a lot of good content. I appreciate you very much. :)
Thank you to the people who post about underrated characters.
Thank you to everyone in this fandom that has made it worth while. It's been a bit of a bumpy ride but we're still here! Love you all so much and thank you! ❤️❤️

hiya, just wanted to post a quick update for anyone who may be wondering why I’ve disappeared off the face of the Earth for weeks straight! Unfortunately life has had me sooo busy recently and I haven’t had any time to get on here between work, my health, my upcoming visa renewal and other personal admin bits, as well as a very annoying water leak in our house, I’ve barely had a spare second to even play games, let alone engage with the fandom 😅
I have a short break around Easter from work plus I’m going to the Studio Tour (ahhh yay! 🎉) the day after my birthday (24th of this month!), so I’m hoping that after that my life will be a bit less hectic and I can get back to normal and start weeding through all the amazing content I’m sure I will have missed 💚
In the meantime, I leave you these adorable screencaps I took a few weeks back of my MC pairings (sadly minus Thalia as I haven’t done hers with Poppy yet - I’ll post those as soon as I get around to taking them!)
💛 It's Kate Mayflower in her seventh year! 💛 She looks so young and innocent here. No wonder she got away with breaking curfew and pulling so many pranks over the years! 😅
No pressure tags: @hotcinnam0nspicy, @morelikeravenbore, @silverxstardust, @pufflehuffing, and anyone else interested! Let's see your MCs!
