I have not been on here in a hot minute, so what better first comeback post than a link to my latest WIP?? It's the Dramione version of Maxton Hall that I've been working on since the show first came out. Updates every week :)

I hope you enjoy!

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

This for real. Alllllllll of this. All of these sounds are the way different people speak based on their emotions. A snarl is not going GRAWR like a dog. It's so furious their teeth are bared, every syllable sharp and cutting and loud. A growl is lower, the words dangerously rough and hot, a warning.

It's the same with softer sounds. A purr is that low, gravelly mmmmm noise of pleasure, or words warm and smooth as melted chocolate. When someone chirps, it's bright and happy and quick, the syllables a little clipped in excitement. Panting is not tongue lolling like a dog; it's a heaving chest and words that are half-breath.

This is what language, what storytelling IS. It's symbolic, it's imagination, it's metaphor and analogy and simile. Strip that away and all you have is textbook descriptions, which are of course useful when reading actual textbooks, but far less entertaining when reading a goddamn fictional story.

I was in the trenches of the “said is dead”-war in the olden days, I remember the discourse and I’m glad there’s still people taking it out with the trash

"sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth", "a voice as warm and smooth as melted chocolate", and "every syllable sharp and cutting and loud" are SO much more interesting and evocate descriptions than just "hiss" "purr" and "snarl".

Use whatever dialogue tags you want, but show don't tell will ALWAYS make things more immersive imo

Day 87

Time-traveling Dramione. ✨⌛️

First bit of writing I’ve done in a long while. Thank you so much to @f1dget-scribbles for beta-ing, I’m really proud of how it turned out!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

The blue moon ritual. Ancient magic, powerful, and Voldemort’s ultimate weapon against the Order. They’re hidden behind the strong protective enchantments that were Dumbledore’s final gift. Hermione’s feeble mind has already betrayed their location, and tomorrow night, her body will be used to release the power that will destroy them once and for all.

Atlantis x Dramione AU! Hermione as a hot geeky adventurer/scholar, and Draco as the shiny thing LOL I have a few fairytale crossovers up my sleeve! 😉

You hear a knock at your door. When you open it, you find your archnemesis sprawled out just past the threshold, battered, bruised, and very clearly only hanging onto life by a thread. “Sorry. It’s just … I didn’t know where else to go” they mutter as you look down at them.

I saw your comment about misled and I just wanted to say that is exactly how I pronounced it for years. It is the logical way! But when was English ever logical.

THANK YOU!!! We can start a club, misled by misled LOL
