I am highly anti-JKR and I do not support her financially!

`RULE ONE.` No godmodding, no hate. Both simple things. Homophobia, racism, transphobia, racial or cultural intolerance, and any other hatred is not tolerated. I, also, do not participate in call out culture. I will not rp with: Incest, non-con of any type, p*dophilia, mpreg. If you have 'purity culture' comments on your blog, I'm not interested.

`RULE TWO.` This blog is mutuals only and semi-private. I will check every blog that follows me, but I will only follow if I think we can vibe and I can see writing with you. I am also multiverse / multiship. OCs are great! Just please have a bio and rules page! I never do exclusives. Feel free to hard block if you don’t want me following you. If you soft block, I might just get confused!

`RULE FOUR.` I do not have to answer every meme I get. I tend to stick between 1-3 paragraphs, but I try to match length. I have some mental struggles, though, so sometimes threads over 3 paras can pose problems for me. My main thing about length is quality over quantity. Give me something I can respond to. I use small font and can do icons or not.

`RULE FIVE.` Chemistry above all else! That is the most important. I LOVE ships, though. Love 'em. Unrequited love may feature on this blog! Never mistake that for force-shipping, absolutely turn my muses down if you want. This blog is NOT pro-shipper friendly.

`RULE SIX.` I have no triggers besides spiders. I am very arachnophobic. As in, even the word causes a physical reaction. Please tag pictures of them or webs. This blog will feature may triggering topics (tagged) . *Ex: blood, horror.*

Look at the girls!

[narglestolen]

When she snorted, Harry's cheeks might have turned just a tiny bit pink in embarrassment. Dragging a hand through his hair to try and save face for a moment, he was quickly distracted from that by her idea. "I mean... yeah. Yeah!" He grinned. "Maybe we could go swimming in the lake. It's actually nice out for once, it'd be way better than the last time I was in there." When he was a Tri-Wizard Champion. He shook off that memory fast.

[sanguisproditor]

The faint tinge in his cheeks caught her off-guard. Had she done something? Did she do something to embarrass him? That was never her goal. She'd been about to ask when he mentioned the lake. She stilled, body tensing, eyes widening. Merlin, why couldn't she just stop her body's reaction? It wasn't fair to have that reaction to such a normal suggestion. Normal people did that. Normal people went for swims and spent time on and around the lake.

She needed to recover, to respond, to force out words.

"I'm... not a huge fan of the lake. I could go to the shore with you?" Don't make her touch the water, she couldn't touch the water. What if the squid reached out and wrapped a tentacle around her leg and dragged her in? There was no history of that happening, but what if it did?

[muserepository]

Sophie nodded, skipping down steps ahead of Nim — then turned to skip backwards “ya mean besides an affinity for getting detentions and sneaking into the restricted section?” she teases, brown eyes locked on her friend.

“Spell mimicry.” she states “I can learn spells after practicing them twice, three times for harder spells —“ she lowered her tone conspicuously “— and dark magic spells? way too easy, da says I get that lovely wee skill from my great-great-great grandpa Sebastian.”

She shrugged “I have a habit of copying spells just by watching. I knew how to cast basic spells before I had even had my first wand.” she explained, casually.

[sanguisproditor]

Blood, blood, blood, blood. It all came down to blood. It was always about blood, wasn't it? Blood lines, blood purity, spilling blood, bleeding hearts. Red, raw, crimson and dripping. She could feel how her body reacted to the distracting thoughts as her mind spiraled. How she almost salivated at the thought. Her mother's blood.

"I avoid those sorts of spells. Bad history with them." Did this girl know that Nimue's father was in Azkaban? "The affinity for learning, in general, is nice, though. We have a couple of Gryffindors who are seemingly good at everything, for some reason." Harry and Hermione, though, Hermione's had a reason. The girl was driven to excel and impress given her blood status. Harry, perhaps that also came down to blood.

A shoulder rose in a small shrug. "I don't think I had a particular affinity. A few weird circumstances, but that's hardly unnormal." Unnormal? That's not a word. "I, uh, I mean unusual."

[sanguisproditor]

@ancientsmagic asked:

“you and i have very different definitions of right and wrong.” ( Lizzie @ Nim )

"It's less right and wrong and more... Look, I'm not above ending a life for a good cause, you've seen that. But dark magic? The Dark Arts are... they're evil. By definition. They're designed to make you want to do them more and more and I think every time you do, you lose a piece of who you are. You slip and slip and slip and then, suddenly, you're Victor Rookwood or you're in Azkaban. You're my father."

The words had tumbled out in a rather insistent manner, almost panicked. She'd been able to forgive the use of the Cruciatus Curse when the alternative was slow death, but not this. Not continuing. And it wasn't really for a moral reason. She just couldn't watch Sebastian or Lizzie go down that path. Nor could Ominis, she knew.

"Look, I have a theory with the ancient magic, okay? I know it didn't work for Isadora, but she was using it to remove something that was supposed to exist. Emotional pain is natural. Anne's curse isn't. It shouldn't exist, so I think it can be removed without hurting her. I wouldn't do it if I thought it would hurt her."

[sanguisproditor]

@thechosengryffindor asked:

send  “  who  did  this  to  you  ?  ”  for  the  sender  to  find  the  receiver  injured  and  demand  to  know  who  did  it.

"I'm okay." That wasn't an answer, no, but in her mind, assuring Harry of that was the priority. The cut under her eye wasn't that deep, she didn't think. Some minor mending and it would be fine. "A younger student, he threw something and it came too close." No, she had a feeling the Slytherin boy had meant to hit her. He was either a first or second year, she wasn't certain, no doubt told who she was. Blood traitor, leech. The names didn't sink in much. Her nose wrinkled. "I'm not entirely unused to things like this."

[sanguisproditor]

So, sometimes I think about Golden Trio era Nimue absorbing the Legacy MC's memories through a book and gaining ancient magic and the whole process really fucking her up because she can remember and feel all these connections to people she's never met and never can meet (unless she does weird fucky ancient magic stuff and like... somehow rips them through time or something).

[dcvium]

Slytherin's Scriptorium

While Nimue was hesitant about the idea of anything to do with Salazar Slytherin, she buckled easily under Sebastian's insistence that there could potentially be a way to cure Anne within. Because of this, she agreed to speak with Ominis and convince him to help them, also wanting to help him know what had happened to his missing aunt. She also made it clear to Ominis that she didn't agree much with the use of Dark Magic.

Everything went fine until the three of them became trapped with the Torture Curse as the only way forward. Nimue was incredibly hesitant to ask Ominis to cast the Cruciatus Curse, knowing his hatred of the Dark Arts and his personal history with the spell. Nimue refused to learn how to cast the Curse, instead accepting that Sebastian must use it on her. After all, even if she had wished to learn, Ominis had said you have to mean it to cast it.

It took Nimue a while to recover, staggering into the Scriptorium, body still wracked with the pain. Despite her trust in Sebastian, there was a lingering thought about the fact that he had to mean the spell, but she eventually chalked it up to the fact that it was necessary for survival. Still, she was more than a little hesitant to let Sebastian take Slytherin's spellbook with him. After how entering the Scriptorium went, she had no doubts that whatever was within the book wasn't something that should be used. She argued against Sebastian taking it with him, but ultimately failed to persuade him.

AS SAID BY KARLACH *  assorted dialogue from baldur's gate 3

i can't tell if you're flirting or threatening me. i'll take either one.

don't want the youths to think i'm not, you know, up with the times.

sometimes i look at you, and i just don't have words for this feeling. you are everything i ever hoped for. everything i thought i could never have. never deserve.

i just love listening to you speak.

i know i can make you melt.

i want all of you.

i don't think i have it in me to share.

will you stay with me? when it's time.

what the fuck is happening to us?

you know, [name], i'm not sure i can trust you anymore. you're... different. a bit scary, to be honest.

i'm sweating bullets. what if i blow our cover?

it's good to see you smiling, [name].

look at you. the years have been good to you.

we're in the city on some urgent business, but can i come find you when it's all settled?

whose idea was this? was it mine? am i insane?

i'll rip your tongue out, you liar.

you can't possibly believe this shit.

what i wouldn't give for another hour together. another minute.

i can't believe you saw that. you're too young for that.

once you start, it's hard to stop.

now there's a name i'd hoped never to hear again.

this is it. i can practically taste his blood from here.

you're asking a lot. but i can wait - for a while, at least.

i don't want to put you in harm's way either. i'll wait for now.

now you're speaking my language.

sorry i haven't visited. i've been... away. but i'm back now! and i brought friends.

i miss you so much. but i'm happy. and getting up to some really important shit.

i just want to understand. i just want to know why.

the fucker has to die.

this handwriting looks familiar.

do you know what you're doing?

sorry, i think you have the wrong person.

would you believe me if I said i've got to save the city?

i love good news.

glad to see you're so well set-up here.

if we can help them, we will.

could i see your wares?

you'll still be able to do your wizard thing, though, right?

i wouldn't mind doing a little shopping in the city.

to have someone who cares about you and throw them away... i don't know how you do it.

sounds like more your thing than mine.

i was just thinking the same thing, but less poetically.

you're good at staying in character. i'll give you that.

i was just being nice.

what a pesthole. can't wait to clear this place out.

i smell a fight brewing.

care for a dip?

it looks good on you.

good to know love is on the table though.

how could we let this happen?

let's just keep moving. i don't want to talk.

this place is absolutely beautiful. what a wonder.

hey, can i try something on you?

my heart isn't a toy, got it? treat it like one and you're going to get burned. badly.

my heart is telling me i love you.

if i didn't know better, i'd say you're falling in love.

will you excuse me?

you'd better step away before i do something i regret.

i'm glad you chose me.

you give me chills, baby.

i'm not going anywhere. i've got plans for the future, you know. and they involve you.

to be honest, i'm kind of shocked you chose me.

if i can have you back, i've got a place for you here. cozy. warm. safe. and you can stay as long as you want.

it sounds like you really meant it.

revenge sounds so sweet until you've taken it. then all you have is... no one left to blame.

you know, for a while there, i wasn't sure you'd come back. but look at you. you've done what few could ever do - created your own path.

is it almost time for dinner?

don't tease me. my lonesome heart can't take it.

you really are the best of the best. of the best.

you know i'd do just about anything for you.

if he lays a finger on you, i'll break it off. that's a promise.

what's on your mind?

you and me. let's imagine. we have a whole life ahead of us. what do we do?

i'd love for you to show me where you came from. hear your stories. meet your people.

no moment is guaranteed. except this one. and this one. and maybe this one too.

i'm going to live. i get to be alive. i get to stay.

i've never felt better. like i'm finally complete.

and here i thought you had half a brain. how wrong i was!

i love you. and i know you'll choose your destiny, and choose it well.

you're lucky i love you.

you hear me? you're all i could ever ask for.

come on. there's something i want to show you upstairs.

i will miss you. but i wish you luck.

AS SAID BY BLACKWALL *  assorted dialogue from dragon age: inquisition

i think we should learn about these things before we fiddle with any more of them.

i always liked the sea.

do we ever have uneventful days?

i’m not backing down!

i was stranded in a desert once. ran out of food.

if their plan is to be a thorn in our side, they’re doing just fine.

does the wind ever stop blowing?

i wouldn’t turn my back on him.

there may be some good in him after all.

i wonder what this all looked like before the war.

look like they tried to fight back, but most were unharmed.

all this… these statues. they have to mean something, right?

lots of bandits in these parts. can’t blame them, i suppose. it’s hard making a living these days.

you can practically feel it, can’t you? all that rock hanging above your head?

some of us take much longer to find our place.

no, you don’t want to hear it.

i’m not sure where any of it goes.

i wouldn’t have missed this for anything.

well, this is all very pleasant.

i might need some help here!

what i wouldn’t give for some warm spiced wine…

you’re not giving up this fight!

how do you forgive someone who does that to you?

he deserves to be punished.

you better not be dead!

i like having time to myself.

i know your kind.

careful i don’t club you on the head.

the most poisonous snakes are often the most beautiful.

too bad we’re not here at night. we could come back when it’s dark, use the stars to see exactly where we are.

at least we’ll have shelter if the wind comes up.

don’t eat the cheese. just… don’t.

it’s just a slight sprain. should be fine by tomorrow. i… appreciate your concern.

not exactly the fight i was expecting when we got here. at least we got the job done.

did i see you punch a tree?

could we not speak so loudly about these things?

you shouldn’t have taken that from him.

how do you get your hair to do that?

it’s not easy finding people willing to shoulder such a terrible responsibility.

i find that difficult to believe.

it’s interesting watching you, the way you carry yourself.

i can’t believe you drank that swill at the tavern.

are you speaking to me?

you did not have to apologize to me.

please tell me you’re talking about the fruit.

isn’t that exactly what we’re doing? right this minute?

could you be a little more gentle the next time we spar?

can’t a man just be curious?

do you think we could ever be friends?

oh, maybe no need to go around repeating that story, then.

if you really cared, you could ask.

just think of it as research for one of your stories!

it’s hard to say. keep your guard up.

does it seem strange that every single person at this party has tried to bribe us?

love suits you.

if you told me this place never ends, i’d believe you.

i don’t much fancy a concussion.

you seem to be smiling a great deal more than usual.

always liked lakes. bet the fishing here was good.

i told you to stand back.

you’re not even a little curious?

lost your sense of adventure already?

doesn’t look so dangerous.

may you find peace… whoever you are.

know what it’s like to have leeches in your pants? no? well, now you do.

so do we find the sword, a trap, or both?

I did two things, now I need to lie down, I'm feeling weird.

[thenightmareofyourdrems]

                   ˜”*°•.    Ridiculous .  Under  different  circumstances,  maybe  he  would  have  appreciated  the  concern.  However,  now ?  It  felt  ridiculous  to  him .  It  was  these  spells  that’d  given  him  hope .  It  was  these  spells  that’d  given  him  a  reason  to  keep  trying.  Without  them ,  he’d  have  nothing  -  his  sister  would  be  condemned.  So,  fine .  If  these  spells  were  to  take  something  from  him ,  then  so  be  it.  Life  had  taken  much  more  than  any  kind  of  magic  could,  after  all.

[sanguisproditor]

Nimue's lips pressed into a thin line, wanting to argue but knowing that they did need to move. The conversation could wait, for now. Though, who knew how long 'for now' meant. She had so many arguments for him, so many things she hadn't yet voiced. And there was the gnawing thought that, to save him from himself, she might just be prepared to do something that was more than a little dangerous.

It was fine if she was hurt. So long as she got the job done.

The disillusionment charm came in handy. Perhaps more than Sebastian ever knew. It served its purpose well now as she caught his hand to tug him through the grounds. It wasn't even much of a thought, though she would have normally not touched without permission. She was caught in her thoughts and focused on moving. Once they were off the grounds, they would be fine.

"People who are fine don't use that tone when saying they're fine."

[sanguisproditor]

@muserepository asked:

“we all have our quirks when it comes to using magic. some more than others.” ( Sophie & Nim )

"I don't know if 'quirk' quite fits for me. I can be a little overbearing when it comes to offensive spells. Sort of more attack than anything." Was that her father's blood? Her mother's? Surely her violence had come from somewhere. "What kind of quirk do you have?" If everyone had one, then the other girl must.
