trying out this tumblr thing one ship at a time

question

do wizards in harry potter quarantine during this.

i think yes because they are bad at dealing with literally any muggle problem. they are operating on a 300-year old past version of medicine where a broken arm OR a bloodless death are among the most pressing of issues. pandemics do not work in the wizarding world they are too dependent on gossip culture. i am drunk and will not be taking questions at this time.

also ron is bad at it but it’s not his fault he just wants to see his family!!!!!!!! he needs to learn but it’s not his fault!

i always love your meta commentary in your stories -- the rita skeeter excerpts, the luna/lee dynamics in real world, etc. those outsider perspectives on our protagonists are always ripe for fun, interesting commentary! could there be a one-shot from another pirate radio broadcaster during the second war? a newspaper columnist writing about the events of ride or die? basically i'd read rita's tawdry commoners bio in 3 seconds and now i feel compelled to ask for it.

I’m not convinced I super nailed the meta commentary because most of it is typically done unintentionally/on a whim (most of *gestures to entire oeuvre* this is the work of my resident mind demon) but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless! Please accept With Love and Admiration, which I hope was close enough!

Divination for Skeptics | The latest in magical advancements is an enchantment that reveals the bearer’s romantic compatibility with another person. Effectively eliminating uncertainty from dating, the charm can tell you whether or not you’ve found The One with a precise, Hermione Granger-approved calculation of traits and preferences. It’s a foolproof method of predicting relationship happiness. It’s also, for Hermione, positively dreadful news. Dramione, post-war, soulmate AU.

In which: hermione obsessively consults a spreadsheet. theo repeatedly gets himself arrested. harry works too many night shifts. draco tries to be left alone; fails disastrously. on the bright side, they’re all in agreement that this is 100% george weasley’s fault.

whew i am going to read the fuuuuq out of this

You know what I reallyreallywant?

Fic about how normies react to the Avengers and the craziness that unfurls whenever they save the world from Alien X or Robot Y or Angry Asgardian Z. Like is there a WNYC report on the Battle of New York? Can I listen to it? Is there any metafic showing the NYT reaction to the fisticuffs at the start of Infinity War? Can I see the tumblr posts digging into Spiderman’s identity? Where are the in-universe “Holy shit Steve Rogers is ALIVE” blogs? I would love any and all if you have recs.

I cant fault Mr. Darcy for going to parties and not talking to anyone, because that’s exactly what I do at parties. Following around the one person I know, and insulting everyone else while I’m at it, either intentionally or not? Sounds like a blast

Felicitous Tidings from the Nouveau Riche | When an aimless Harry Potter is asked to retrieve Draco Malfoy from the sinful clutches of American high society, he gets unwillingly dragged into the opulent wizarding party scene of Prohibition-era New York City. Meanwhile, a string of grand thefts draws an investigative auror from the British Ministry to MACUSA, recruiting her for the protection of an American heiress who recently came into a vast inheritance. Ensemble pairings, Roaring Twenties AU, Olivie Advent 3.0.

This year’s installment of my personal holiday countdown. To begin posting in Amortentia every day from Dec 1-24. Let the newest edition of holiday excursions festively commence!

You are my resident historical drama critic. I have watched/read so many new things because of you, including the White Princess. Anyhoo, I am searching for a new soapy medieval drama (because 2018 is too much), and I am debating between Knightfall and Outlaw King? Yay? Na? Or is there another you would recommend?

Omg, I am so sorry because my taste is so bad, lol, but if you have had fun, then YAY!! I PERSONALLY did not care for Knightfall? But it may have been a thing of “wrong show at wrong time.” I only tried the pilot, and it was dull to me, and I think my expectations were too high. Haven’t seen Outlaw King yet, looking VERY forward to that, though. I DID watch Maximilian, which was enjoyable and beautifully made (it’s in German/French, but subtitled in English.) Currently thinking of checking out Cathedral By The Sea on Netflix, too. I’ll holler if it’s any good!

a little less than two years ago i cried during hillary clinton’s concession speech when she had to remind multiple generations of women that they were capable and valuable and i guess now i know why

CALLOUT POST for Fitzwilliam Darcy

did not consider me handsome enough to dance with

has been the means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most beloved sister

reduced George Wickham to his present state of comparative poverty (I don’t have receipts on this but trust me)

is full of arrogance, conceit, and selfish disdain of the feelings of others; is ungentlemanlike in general

[gothhabiba]

EDIT: I HAVE RESCINDED ALL CALLOUTS OF MR. DARCY He is now my husband (long story)
