blank/customisable spotify layout for your singer/band/musician dr editing desires!!
had a couple people ask me how i made this post and what app i used, but i literally just used screenshots and edited them on the photopea website (basically photoshop but completely free)! if anyone else wants to make a similar edit for their own dr, here's some blank versions for you <33
the rest under a readmore because the images are tall!
on the first image, add the left overlay (the image with the 'see more' button) to the bottom of the image (so that it half covers the sixth song), and add the right overlay (the image of the '←' button) to the upper left corner of the cover image at the top (once you've added your desired cover image ofc)
if you're editing on photopea (or probably most image editors i assume), place the images that you want to fill the blank spaces with in the layer(s) BENEATH these images; this is important for the first image so that you still get the faded quality overlaying your chosen cover image
to change the text, download and use this font (unless you can find a better one, but this is the closest to spotify's actual font that i could find!) and erase the text that's already there before you add whatever you're replacing it with
this is a brief tour of my bag in my maruaders era hogwarts dr! this bag has been with me though literally everything and she's only holding on due to mending enchantments I put on her when I first started to notice her descent. some of the stuff in her is...probably less than legal. but hey! snitches get stiches, alright?
inspired by this post by @chaaistained and this one by @hrrtshape!!
my trusty messenger bag that i carry literally everywhere with me. you wouldn't catch me dead using just my pockets to carry all my shit. she's basically a staple of my appearance. anyway, let's open her up!
BUT FIRST——THE DECOR!
✦ my pinback buttons! the "kind hearted degenerate" was stolen from Sirius' patch jacket (I think he let me take it), the "cult leader" was a gift from barty because of course it fucking was, and the other two my sister, eden, and I found just outside of diagon alley (we fought over who got to keep them. I won, obviously. so, i display them proudly, she hates it).
✦ i also have my prefect pin stuck onto the strap of my bag because it's so much better to have on there than my robes. no one's gotten mad at me so whatever.
✦ the dice keychain was stolen from eden's room. I thought it was pretty and she hasn't missed it so
✦ the froggy keychain I found in a muggle shop and needed immediately. I may have a secret obsession with froggos, my friends may or may not be very aware of this fact. he also might be cursed, I swear I hear him ribbit when it gets quiet.
✦ the other keychain I found half-buried in a public park. no idea where it came from or how it got there.
ONTO THE POCKETS!
my bag has four pockets on the outside, two that close and two that are just slots on the side. they're all full of shit.
LEFT FRONT POCKET
this pocket is entirely full of trash. literal trash. some of it is cute notes from my friends and such, but the other half is actual trash. I say I'm going to use it to junk journal, I don't. It just sits there in the pocket, unused. I refuse to clean it out.
but the notes!
✦ three fortunes from three fortune cookies that I got on three separate occasions at three different restaurants.
— the first "you have the ability to see the bright side in things, do not lose that ability" I got on an outing with my family. it was a rough time all around and the whole dinner was tense, but getting that fortune just reaffirmed my belief in aiming for the best, even when it's unrealistic, so I kept it.
— the "your love of music will be an important part of your life" I got on one of my first real dates with sirius. I already knew he dreamed of being a musician, so I took it as a sign we were going to work out. and well, it was correct.
— finally, the "whatever you want to do, do it. there are only so many tomorrows" fortune found me when I was wrestling with my feelings. I hadn't intended to fall for remus, but I had. I didn't know what to do. but, I took this as a sign to just go for it and be true to my feelings. It worked out. so I kept it as a reminder, like I did with sirius' one.
✦ "I'll let you drag me to hell if it means you'll hold my hand" note that sirius passed me one day in the middle of class. like that wouldn't make me insane in public. stupid dog.
✦ "kind of a pretty boy, isn't he?" note that I found dropped on the ground in divination. when I picked it up, some girl turned beet red. amusing, really.
✦ "we are all haunted houses" note that I wrote on the corner of a notepad and tore out. I found it at the bottom of my bag weeks later. I cant for the life of me remember what I was talking about, though I think I was onto something.
✦ "not everything has to make sense. let it go. choose peace." note that was written at the top of one of my papers for divination class. professor was far too done with my constant questioning of why things worked the way they did.
✦ "just make it exist first, you can make it good later" sticky note that I wrote to stick onto my writing desk to try and help ward off my perfectionism. It remained there for years until I accidently knocked it down and it refused to stick up again. so, i shoved it into my bag with the others.
✦ "the memory is unclear but the feelings remain" written on a blank polaroid photo. barty accidently took a picture as he dropped my camera. evan wrote the words on the picture that came out. I think he thought he was being poetic. I kept it regardless.
✦ "I think you're afraid because we get along so well. I think it scares you." one of the notes sirius taunted me with in our rivals phase of our rivals to lovers arc. torn in two and carefully taped back together.
✦ "dear me, don't fall back into old patterns just because they're familiar. love, me." letter written for an assignment. that 'write a letter to your younger self' writing prompt nonsense? I didn't want to do it, so I wrote the first thing that came to my head. still got an O though.
✦ an unopened letter. the front says "open when fate decrees it". that trelawney girl got a cheshire smile when I picked it up. I've had it for five years.
✦ also a train ticket from my very first year of hogwarts
✦ other trash in this pocket includes: a to-do list that says "1. ace your o.w.ls, 2. take over the world", at least four salazar slytherin trading cards, a receipt from the record shop in hogsmede, a punch card from the three broomsticks with ten punches in it (I probably should use it at some point), a scrawled list of hexes that barty copied from the restricted section of the library, and a note I passed to reggie that says "do me a favor, kill your brother" that he threw back at me with a scrawled "NO." underneath.
RIGHT FRONT POCKET
the snack pouch, basically. if I'm hungry, this is where I'm reaching.
✦ a chocolate frog that's probably melted slightly with how long it's been in there. I think barty gave it to me on the train ride. it's probably still good, right?
✦ raven chocolates that are literally better than any wizarding candy, trust.
✦ jelly slugs because gummies are the superior form of candy
✦ also chai teabags because you never know when you might need it (also because I'm picky about my chai)
SIDE POCKETS
LEFT SIDE POCKET
✦ my round sunglasses that are basically my staple.
✦ the swiss army knife that eden has a matching one of. i enchanted it so that the blade doesn't grow dull. honestly, much better than a wand half the time, but don't tell anyone I said that.
✦ vampire pill box that has enchanted ibuprofen. thank you dorcas my love. one of these does 10x the effect as a regular without the damage to your internal organs or risk of an overdose.
RIGHT SIDE POCKET
✦ a crocheted chanel rose made for me by evan's sister, pandora. it's hella impressive actually.
✦ my trusty vivienne westwood lighter. used to be my mom's, I took it from her purse as a well rebellious thirteen year old. it also has a matching cigarette case that I also stole. i was having my kleptomaniac era. there is also skull bandages tucked inside the case.
INTERIOR POCKET
where i keep all the loose things that would get lost in the bottom of my bag otherwise.
✦ tiny bottles of banned potions that dorcas made for me. I make sure to keep the corks on very tightly.
✦ a jar of human teeth. no, I will not explain where I got them.
✦ jars of bones. not human (yet).
✦ intricate jar, full of enchanted, basically holy, water. for all your banishing needs. never summon anything you don't know how to get rid of.
✦ a jar of salt. for the same reason. also salt.
✦ tin of tiny candles for on-the-go spellwork because you never know when you might need it.
✦ tiny clay charms of tarot cards also made by pandora. she passed them to me in divination. she never did tell me why. they are pretty cute though.
MAIN POCKET
✦ a leatherbound journal full of all my secrets. jinxed, obviously. possibly with some that I would get in trouble for casting. their fault really for trying to snoop. includes detailed plans of world domination, lists of hexes and curses ordered by their usefulness, recounts of possibly prophetic dreams, and lists of very good numbers
✦ poetry journal for my midnight poetic ramblings. not jinxed, not yet. also includes my casebook recounts of strange romantic feelings, complete with red string.
✦ my trusty wand. black walnut and dragon heartstring, 12"
✦ a lace fan for when it gets far too hot to be legal. because I can't be sweating not in style
✦ a very illegal time-turner hidden inside a matchbox. I probably shouldn't have told you that I have that.
✦ a vintage comb that I call my tactical comb.
✦ my leather bat-wing wallet. one of the most important things in this bag
✦ my black makeup pouch that mary poppins would envy.
✦ my heavily annotated copy of "scottish fairy tales" that I've had with me since my first year of hogwarts. I think there's more notes and highlights than actual text. and the notes are more journal entries than actual annotations.
✦ tiny bird scissors I stole from madame pomfrey. they're for sewing. I don't do much sewing. but I can chase sirius around with them, threatening to cut the stitches on his patches. it's very amusing.
✦ an extra lighter, clipped onto the inside of my bag, just in case my trusty one ever breaks. so far, it hasn't.
✦ a special edition of the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde, my favorite book of all time. this edition was a gift from reggie, who knows my love of it.
✦ a fountain pen for my sudden bursts of inspirational musing. enchanted to never dry of ink and never need to dip it. I stole it from my older brother, alastair. I can't help it, he makes such good enchantments.
✦ a fancy flask. yes, of course there's alcohol in it. what did you take me for, a lightweight?
✦ vivienne westwood gloves for the colder months, an enchanted lining to keep your hands at the perfect temperature, not too hot and not too cold.
✦ the box of my trusty tarot cards. they always seem to call me out. they also have a bit of an attitude. typical.
✦ a coin that's engraved with "one more chapter" on one side and "go to bed" on the other. for very important dilemmas regarding my sleep schedule. do I ever listen to it when it lands on "go to bed"? no, of course not. don't tell me what to do.
WALLET
✦ my galleons. the wallet is linked to my vault at gringotts so I don't run out of money, because that would be embarrassing.
✦ photos of my friends and I. i know, I know, very sentimental of me.
— photo of dorcas and eden from one of the slytherin common room parties
— a photo of me, barty, and dorcas with a mall santa. he looks like he's being held hostage.
— photo of me playing chess with dorcas (off camera) while barty lounges across the bed, pouting because he lost to me minutes ago.
— photo of evan, me and reggie at one of our families' stupid summer galas. having friends makes them more bearable.
— photo of evan and me from one of the royals' summer outings
— photo of me and barty on a late-night hogsmede outing
— photo i took of dorcas at one of the slytherin common room parties as we dared her to chug her drink
✦ an id, so people know who I am. as if they didn't already, pfft. it is also fake.
✦ spare condoms. enough said.
MAKEUP POUCH
✦ my signature black lipstick. can't go anywhere without that beauty. enchanted for long-lasting wear. the touch-ups are hardly necessary, but it does make people look at my lips~ also enchanted with love magic so when he kisses me he thinks I'm god. (I think that might make it illegal, but who's gonna snitch anyway?)
✦ tinted chapstick for dry lips.
✦ a spare eyeliner pen, because none of my looks would be complete without eyeliner.
✦ a knife inside a lipstick tube. just incase one knife wasn't enough. also great to scare the shit out of your friends with
✦ extra mascara, also for touchups.
✦ a black nail polish. also for touch ups. though, usually not my own. barty can never seem to keep his nail polish from chipping for longer than a day.
✦ cannabis and rose roller perfume. in case my aura isn't addicting enough. enchanted by dorcas with glamour magic, obviously. she's literally a goddess.
✦ my chanel compact mirror that also answers most of my questions. "mirror mirror in my hand, what's the answer to question #6?"
✦ a vivienne westwood claw clip that I stole from my older sister, morgaine. she's so damn uptight all the time and she's still freaking about about losing this clip. it's all I can do not to laugh aloud.
✦ a shit ton of hair ties and bobby pins just strewn throughout the pouch. I'll lose all of them eventually.
