=====

📚 rational economic actors by @yellowfork Explicit | 8k words | 2025

Rec'd by @the-forbidden-forest: This is Draco Malfoy in all his best unhinged glory. I love him and I love Yellowfork. Additional major tags/themes (via reccer): Coworkers, Draco Malfoy is obsessed with Harry Potter (and his new forays into gay sex), First time bottoming

📚 Spoiled Little Brat by @appleslightning Teen | 9k words | 2024

Rec'd by @suzieburself: Hogwarts professors with the perfect petty relationship. The dialogue is crisp and the characterization is perfect. If Draco doesn’t make you want to laugh, cry, and punch him, is it really Draco?

📚 The Venice Job by nishizono Explicit | 25k words | 2007

Rec'd by @scarredsnake: Auror fic with fake dating, drarry who act like they hate each other guts (they're smitten with each other and just don't know it yet) and a harry who is definitely not gay! (he doesn't have internalized homophobia, he just ""isn't gay""). I loved this fic because it's so drarry in a nutshell, and draco is hilarious, annoying and a little shit overall. Also it's a good case fic!

📚 Hissy Fit by @dysonrules Mature | 28k words | 2010

Rec'd by @ira-dunfort: Parselmouth Harry is an Auror, Draco is not, but a registered snake Animagus. They are ordered to work together to solve a series of crimes, for wich Harry does all the legwork while Draco hangs around his neck, talking his ears off.

📚 Rookie Moves by peu_a_peu Explicit | 75k words | 2023

Rec’d by @its-the-allure: The funniest thing I have ever read, ever, fic or trad pub or anything else. This is a must read!!!!

📚 Socratic Methods by @thecouchsofa Explicit | 79k words | 2025

Rec'd by Anon: Couldn't get enough of the back and forth between the two of them (especially during the first "event"), and the sexual tension they're dancing around makes it that much better. A second rec by a different Anon: The banter in this one needs to be studied! I laughed out loud so many times and I loved how the relationship progressed

📚 From Clouds To Rain by @shewhxmustnxtbenamed Explicit | 106k words | 2025

Rec'd by Anon: From Clouds to Rain is one of my all time favorites for banter! It’s a cozy Muggle AU where Harry is filling in as Draco’s assistant. It’s just SO MUCH BANTER, and all of it is SO CUTE and I just AH I love it. Draco is so soft, even when he’s trying to be cold and stoic and just their dynamic is AWESOME Additional major tags/themes (via reccer): Trans!Harry, angst and fluff and smut, angst with a happy ending

big fan of urban fantasy and similar genres because theres nothing funnier to me than a setting where youve got people fighting with enchanted blades and bows and hopping around doing magic tricks but you can also just hit a demon with your car if you feel like it

[writing-is-a-martial-art]

There's this very specific urban fantasy trope which is "processing the newfound horrors and wonders of the universe in a 24/7 diner" that gets me every time

“he would not fucking say that!” then put him in a situation that makes him say it, we wanna see him squirm

[gallusrostromegalus]

It's good old fashioned characterization practice when confronted with "he would not fucking say that" to go "under what circumstances WOULD he say that?" And then go "and how would he get into those circumstances?" And boom. You have a MUCH more solid character.

It's also a fun magic trick as a writer to write a guy so well you get people foaming at the mouth on the comments going "HE WOULD NOT SAY THAT BUT HE *DOES* AND IT *MAKES SENSE* FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!"

[striving-artist]

This is the core of why I love angst. It’s character algebra. If you want the character to do X, what needs to happen to make it so?

I just found the funniest font ever

Like. What is this. Why is this. Who is the target audience of this?

[skrutskie]

The font is called "Redacted Script," it's available for free here, and I just ran to download it because I am, in fact, the target audience for this

[yeahwrite]

Font idea for writers who have trouble not editing as they go!

I think if indiana jones' adoring students ever went on an Adventure(tm) with him it would be really funny if that was the turn off. like, a routine dig he was leading for the school goes awry and he has to get all cocky gunslinger ladies man hero mode and the students are like. hey what the fuck. his shirt gets ripped up revealing he's jacked and that one girl is immediately wiping the 'I love you' make up off her eyes. an entire room filled with artifacts gets destroyed while they make an escape and the kids are all horrified. "professor jones. how many people have you killed" "well, do you count the damn nazis as people-" "UNFORTUNATELY YES. LEGALLY YES. ARE ALL ARCHEOLOGISTS MURDERERS." he's flirting with some random woman on the dig and all the students are like what the hell. you can't talk like that. where did the droning and stutter go. why are you not flustered. she inevitably swoons into his arms or something and they're like "oh my God eww he's so sweaty. ma'am literally what's wrong with you. blink twice if you need help". they're so betrayed to find out he never even NEEDED glasses, he was wearing nonprescription lenses in class. Indy's lowkey hurt he's like I thought you guys thought I was cool :( and they're like 'yeah when you're in a bowtie and telling us about sumarian gardening techniques. WHY do you have a whip right now you freak'

I just had a small epiphany why you might like other people’s art more than your own:

It’s the lack of suspension of disbelief.

When you see something someone else has drawn or painted, you take in the content faster than you take in the technical aspects. You experience it as pseudo-real, the same way you stop perceiving animated characters as drawn or book characters as written as you get into the story.

On the other hand, when you yourself have made something, all you see is the machine behind the theater, so to speak. You’re probably thinking about lines, shading, coloring in a “does this make sense? Is this the best decision I could have made?”-kind of way.

I think that’s also why sometimes, pictures you haven’t looked at for a long time starts looking nice to you again, à la: “Hey past-me was unto something! Why can’t I replicate it nowadays?”. It’s probably specifically because you’ve forgotten the process of making it that you are now seeing it with fresh eyes.

Art is an illusion, but a magician has a hard time tricking themself. So don’t be so hard on yourself: it’s probably just that you can’t see the magic right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

You just put something into words that I have been feeling for a while. This might actually get me to try digital painting again, thank you.

Omg, I’m glad to hear 💖
