Looking for some RP buddies

Unfortunately, I work in a business that’s defined as essential, so I haven’t gotten a pass to have two weeks off. However, I know there are a lot of people with nothing to do, so I figured it was a good time to recruit some new RP partners!

I’m only interested in Drarry at the moment. I’m comfortable playing either Harry or Draco. I’m fine to RP on here, discord, or email.

As far as plots go, I really want something where Draco and Harry make amends, either during fourth year or sixth year, and playing through how that changes the canon plot. For fourth year, I’d like it early on, so that Draco can be involved in the different tasks and the Yule Ball and such. In sixth, we could do pre- or post-Sectumsempra. Maybe Harry decides to try and talk to Draco instead of attacking in the bathroom, or maybe Harry feels really guilty after attacking Draco and goes to apologize and Draco confides in him how scared he is. I just really want to get Draco redeemed and have him become part of Team Potter, I’m such a sucker for plots like this.

As far as technical stuff goes, I tend to write one to three paragraphs per response, depending on what’s going on. I don’t like to force length, so my replies definitely have a lot of fluctuation, but I’ll never give you a one-liner. I am incredibly patient with my partners. If life happens, it happens, so never feel pressured to get back to me in a certain amount of time. I don’t really have any triggers, though I’m not really into ABO or mpreg. I’m 27, so I’m okay with NS*W, but I don’t want the entire plot to revolve around that.

I’m pretty sure that’s everything important. If you’re interested, send me an ask or reply to this post!

Marking “Not For Kids” Doesn’t Protect You - COPPA Update

SPREAD THIS AROUND LIKE WILDFIRE. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

I don’t usually post about serious stuff, but this is a big deal. Like as big a deal as Article 13.

What Chad says in this video about people not really understanding the nature of this COPPA update is true; I also thought it was just a new YouTube rule, but it’s so much more.

Here are major highlights from the video, in case you want don’t want to watch (though I highly recommend you do, it’s worth it to learn more):

The FTC is revising the COPPA laws which are basically the laws that regulate content children may consume. In relation to YouTube, this is not just about content that is marked as suitable for children. IT’S FOR ANYTHING THAT A CHILD MAY ON THEIR OWN DECIDE TO WATCH.

Content creators on YouTube will be able to mark their video as for children or not. HOWEVER, if a video is marked as ‘not for children’, but an FTC official (not a YouTube worker, A GOVERNMENT WORKER) decides that it could appeal to children, the creator is liable for that violation and will be fined.

If a video is marked as ‘for children’ and follows all the rules, it’s fine. HOWEVER, YouTube has instated new limitations on these videos. Subscribers will not get a notification of it posting, comments will be disabled, you won’t be able to search for that video, it will not appear in the suggested/recommended area on YouTube’s homepage (which is how many content creators grow their viewer base), and there will be no targeted ads, making the video revenue drop by 90%.

That last part is the major issue here. Content creators won’t be able to make money, in an age where being a YouTuber finally is a viable career. THIS IS RUINING CAREERS FOR CONTENT CREATORS THE SAME WAY ARTICLE 13 WAS FOR ARTISTS.

Chad talks about video game channels and toy collectors, and those are definitely highly at risk channels, but based on the vague language of this law, this is also going to wind up affecting any channels that have anything to do with fandoms that children might also be a part of. Harry Potter, Marvel, Pokemon, Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, the list goes on. Those are just some examples of things that I personally watch videos about on YouTube. It makes up the majority of my favorite content creators.

This law is going to affect so much more content than toy or let’s play videos. It’s going to affect theory videos (Game Theory, SuperCarlinBrothers), videos that talk about animation or fandom history (SaberSpark), cosplayers (The Mischief Managers anyone?), parody-makers, people who make animation (I’m thinking of Hazbin Hotel right now), people who cover music from cartoons/movies/games. ANYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE APPEAL TO A CHILD IS AT RISK.

It isn’t fair that adults who happen to enjoy a certain piece of media and have made a career using that media as a base will now be punished because children may also enjoy that media. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN STILL DO.

The FTC is allowing public comment until December 9th. COMMENT AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE OF THIS LAW. Don’t be rude, of course, but make sure you’re clear on why this law is a problem and how badly it will affect so many people who are obviously not trying to target an audience of children. The language of the law is too vague. Adults can enjoy cartoons, toys, and videogames as well, and want to be able to freely express opinions, make tributes, and share with fellow fans in mature, child-free ways. Just because we like something children also like DOESN’T MEAN WE WANT CHILDREN TO WATCH OUR VIDEOS.

RP Partner Search

Haven’t put out one of these in a while, but omegle sucks so here I am!

I’m 26, I rp in literate style. I’m in the EST timezone. I work every day except Tuesdays, but I do still have a good chunk of time to RP in the afternoon, usually between 3 PM and midnight.

Currently I am only interested in Drarry. I can play either of them, though I don’t get to play Draco as often so I’d love someone who would let me. I’d like to do something either eighth year (my favorite trope) or during canon so we can play with some canon events. I am open to exploring some other ideas like their later adult life and reconnecting, or maybe something like a soulmate AU.

I like to keep smut to a minimum, and use it relevant to the plot (ie, they had a fight and now they’re making up, or it’s their first time so it’s important, etc.). I’ve had too many rps where you just get done with one scene and then they start getting hot and heavy all over again and it’s just not for me. Also, since smut may happen, please be 18+ if you decide to rp with me.

I don’t really have any triggers, though I’m not super fond of ABO or mpreg. My replies are generally 1-3 paragraphs, but I don’t like forcing my replies to a certain length and sacrificing quality, so please be flexible and I’ll be flexible with you.

I believe that’s the most important stuff. If I sound like the right partner for you, hit me up at [email protected] or on discord k_chow#1458!

Harry: Bye Malfoy. Bye Hermione. Bye Malfoy~.

Ron: You said 'Bye Malfoy' twice.

Harry: I like Malfoy. <3

[the-same-as-never-before]

I was reading a Drarry fic and I came to this sentence ‘He joined the end of the queue, ordered a bowl of soup and a breadstick, and thanked the canteen staff.’

And I thought ‘a breadstick?’ so I googled ‘breadsticks’ and sure nuff:

Breadsticks have changed since I was a kid.

THIS

is a true 90s breadstick.

Breadsticks are an iconic feature of our British culinary tradition of taking recipes from other countries and adapting them to be as unappealing as possible.

And I know the box says ‘made in Italy’ but surely they are made in Italy for export only. I cannot imagine any Italian unwrapping the cellophane inner packaging and crunching these brittle sticks as if eating especially bland pencils.

See how each is an even, symmetrical, identical cuneiform, about the width of your finger and the length of a full-size ruler. Notice how the packet indicates they have maximum! salt and yet they have no flavour.

At least Tesco is still keeping our ancient (retro) British (middle class) customs alive.

(Credit to the fic which is Soup-pocalypse and The Great Curry Cataclysm by SquadOfCats. I’m only about 2% in but it’s good so far?)

[sxs-fanfics]

Can I just say, I have very traditional Italian relatives, and we do in fact eat these. But I prefer the ones that have sesame seeds on them.

My Not-Fic sort-of sequel to I Solemnly Swear

I’ve had this idea rolling around in my head since ISS finished, and I tried to write it, but I don’t think I have the time or ambition to do an entire HP rewrite. I thought about just doing scenes with the major points I wanted to hit, but I didn’t like that idea either. Then I saw this post https://sapphywatchesyousleep.tumblr.com/post/184624746272/wip-not-fic-amnesty

and I decided, fuck it, I’m getting the idea out and if I never flesh it out, at least people got to hear what I wanted to do. So thanks @sapphywatchesyousleep for the idea!!

There are a few references to ISS that may not make sense if you didn’t read it, but for the most part, this can be read as a standalone.

So, we all know that Remus and Sirius are together and so very in love by the end of ISS. So the war rolls around and everything that we know happens in canon happens EXCEPT Remus and Sirius don’t mistrust each other as much, and so Sirius has already told Remus that they switched Secret Keepers. Thus, when the shit hits the fan, Remus fights for Sirius’s innocence and he doesn’t go to Azkaban, even though Peter is nowhere to be found. Even though they know that revealing that Peter was an Animagi would help in looking for him, they’re afraid that they would have to reveal Sirius as an Animagi too, and that he would then be arrested for that. They keep their eyes out for him, but haven’t found anything yet.

Anyway, the point is, they get custody of Harry and raise him out in the country. They have plenty of money to support themselves, between the Black and Potter estates, but Sirius still works as a magizoologist just for the hell of it, and Remus does freelance work here and there for Dumbledore. Remus’s cousin Ernie (an OC from ISS) takes Harry during full moons to keep him safe. Harry grows up loved and supported like we all know he deserved to be, and it’s all hunky dory. 

On top of that, Andromeda has decided to try and bring together what little family she has left, and invites Sirius, Remus, and Harry to her house, along with Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco. The first time they go it’s very uncomfortable, but Harry and Draco have fun together, oblivious to their families. This happens a couple more times before the start of Harry’s first year, so by the time he gets there, he and Draco have an acquaintanceship.

The first two years at school go pretty much according to the books, except that Draco is involved here and there and acts a bit differently. He respects Harry much more and because Harry doesn’t reject first year, he likes to brag about knowing Harry like a brother. Harry can get kind of annoyed by this earlier in their friendship, but eventually it becomes true. This also means Draco doesn’t want to mess it up and have Harry take him down a notch, meaning he is a bit more influenced by Harry’s example. He’s still arrogant and proud, but he’s not as prejudiced. He isn’t buddy buddy with Ron and Hermione, but he doesn’t insult them the way he does in the books. There’s none of the polyjuice potion mess in second year and Draco even defends Harry against people saying he’s the heir just because he’s a Parselmouth (he says it kind of in a ‘he’s too goody goody to be the heir’ and other left-handed ways of defending him, but still). Basically, Draco is like a satellite of the Golden Trio.

Fast forward to third year. Even after all this time, there’s always been speculation about Sirius being the true spy because Remus is really the only one who was able to vouch for him, and everyone now knows of their ‘disgusting’ relationship. Legally, he was cleared with Remus’s testimony (including memories he had of being told about the Secret Keeper change), but the rumors still circulate that things were fixed and that Sirius and Remus having custody of Harry is dangerous to his safety if one day Voldemort were to return (it’s not a majority of people, but there’s always going to be some who don’t believe). It hurts Sirius, reminding him of what it was like to be judged for being a Black at school. The only possible proof that would completely exonerate him would be finding Peter, and there’s been no sign of him for ten years. That’s why, when Sirius and Remus see the paper with the Weasleys before third year, they are determined to find out if Scabbers is really Peter, and Remus takes the DADA job. When Scabbers/Peter sees Remus on the train, he freaks out and stays as out of the way as possible most of the year. Remus only has proof that it’s him once he recovers the map from Harry.

With the Dementors not being at the school, and Sirius not being wrongly imprisoned, there’s no need for all the time travel. Also, Draco not being a prick means that the Buckbeak thing doesn’t happen either. Peter unfortunately still escapes, though, because the confrontation scene is essentially still the same. Remus saw Peter on the map and rushed out of the castle without taking his potion, so he transforms, and Sirius can’t wrangle him because the wolf has been held back for so long it’s going crazy. Snape corrals the trio back into the castle safely, and finally believes that Remus and Sirius aren’t in league with Peter.

Instead of Ireland playing Bulgaria in the World Cup, it’s England, which is the team that AJ plays for (another OC from ISS). She’s an aunt to Harry, and they don’t get to see each other often because she tours the world playing Quidditch. She gets Harry, Remus, and Sirius great seats for the match, and they wind up not sitting too far from Draco and Lucius, so Harry and Draco chat during the match. 

Fourth year, Remus and Sirius are absolutely livid that Dumbledore allows Harry to compete in the Tournament, but they know that there really isn’t a choice because of the contract. They’re at every task, and use as much of their knowledge as they can to help guide him. Sirius is actually involved in bringing the dragons for the first task, so he’s the one that tips Harry off about them. Ron still fights with Harry, so he turns to Draco, and they start to become closer. Draco winds up being the one that Harry saves from the lake instead of Ron, and Ron is jealous at first until Hermione quietly explains to him the significance. She won’t tell Harry, though, wanting him to figure it out himself. Draco is sort of coming to the realization though, and he is jealous when Harry dances with Parvati. He makes a point of dragging him back to the dance floor later in the night and they enjoy a little time together, though they don’t slow dance. The rest of the year goes basically the same, and Harry winds up in the graveyard. He sees Lucius and is shocked because he thought that the man had changed, but can also see the fear in his eyes. He doesn’t really want to be there.

When he comes back, he doesn’t know whether or not he should say anything, but eventually decides that he should tell Draco, in case he doesn’t know. Insulted, Draco refuses to speak to him for the entirety of fifth year. Harry is devastated, and he tries to make up, but he’s also distracted with all the other problems going on. Draco doesn’t become part of the Inquisitorial Squad, though, because he knows what Harry is doing, and even though they aren’t speaking at the moment, he still likes him deep down and doesn’t want to get him in trouble.

The Order still uses Grimmuald Place as HQ, and Sirius and Remus being Harry’s legal guardians, they have the authority to tell Harry whatever they want. They tell Harry about the prophecy, so by the time he sees the vision from Voldy, he already knows what’s going on and where. The whole Umbridge thing still plays out basically the same, except that as Harry and company are running off, Draco happens to see them. He demands to know what’s going on, and Harry is all sassy (’oh, now you’re speaking to me?’) and Draco is just like, I know you’re going to wind up dead so I’m going too, and tags along. This results in him seeing Lucius there as a Death Eater. He’s so upset about it that he runs away from the battle, refusing to fight his father.

Obviously, Sirius lives. During the battle he still gets stupefied, but Remus is ridiculously triggered just seeing this, and uses his wolf speed to save Sirius by snagging him and tossing his frozen body away from the veil. He nearly rips Bellatrix in two, but she runs off giggling. Harry follows while Remus checks on Sirius.

After the battle and everything, Harry returns to Hogwarts to find Draco waiting for him outside the Gryffindor common room. He’s got tear stains on his cheeks and his eyes are red, but right now he’s just silently sitting and staring out at nothing. Harry sits down next to him and doesn’t say anything, and Draco just leans into him and apologizes for not believing him. He tells Harry that he should have known that his father couldn’t truly change, even though he seemed like he was better. He doesn’t know what to do. If he goes home, he knows that his father is going to force him to follow in his footsteps, but he could never do anything that would hurt Harry. Harry tells him that he has a choice if he wants it, and if he needs a place to stay, that he would have him in a heartbeat. Touched, Draco kisses Harry, making his decision.

Draco stays with Harry, Remus, and Sirius for the summer, leaving Lucius to 'disown' him, but he doesn't officially remove him as heir, hoping he'll change his mind and just come home safely. He thinks Draco is in too much danger being friends with Harry, because the Dark Lord won’t spare him if he gets in the way. Narcissa is beside herself with worry. Instead of Draco being assigned to kill Dumbledore, Voldemort simply plans the invasion, and Snape is assigned to repair the Vanishing Cabinet that allows everyone inside. During the invasion, Draco is confronted by Lucius again, demanding he comes home, but Draco refuses to be a part of the mess. Dumbledore still dies, Lucius is the one that disarms him instead, and Harry still decides to finish his work on the Horcruxes.

Harry shows Remus and Sirius the fake locket, and Sirius recognizes it as the same one that he threw into Regulus’s face years ago (an ISS reference). When he hears about what Regulus did from Kreacher, he is moved and heartbroken over the loss of his brother all over again. AJ hears the story too and she finally finds it in her heart to forgive Regulus. Some part of her still wishes they could have had a chance, but she knows it’s not fruitful to pine after the dead. Instead, she gets together with Ernie, who has been crushing on her the whole time, and who she thinks is cute, and they swear after the war to travel together.

Remus and Sirius are not at all happy about Harry running off, but they trust Dumbledore’s plan, and they know he’s more than capable of taking care of himself. They still worry constantly, and do their best to get in touch with him when they can.

Harry tells Draco that he’s going to leave and find the Horcruxes, and that it’s not his problem to fix, but Draco is definitely not having that. He tells Harry he loves him and isn’t going back to Hogwarts without him. He joins him, Ron, and Hermione, meaning that when they are caught by the Snatchers, it's very easy to tell that they’ve found Harry. Lucius and Narcissa are horrified, however, knowing that if Voldemort comes for Harry, he’ll kill Draco too because of his betrayal. They delay Bellatrix from calling him for as long as possible, hoping that they can convince Draco to change sides before he shows up, but he still refuses. Their stalling, however, inadvertently leads to the sword still being found and Dobby coming to help, etc. Harry disarms Lucius while they’re there, so that he’s still the owner of the Elder Wand.

The rest of DH is pretty much the same, just with Draco around, and they live happily ever after.

If you made it to the end of this, then thank you for reading and you have a really good attention span. XD

Help a fellow student!

I’m in a food business class and I have to have 50 responses to a survey by tomorrow for market research. My teammates and I thought we’d have plenty if we shared with everyone we know, but we only have 29 right now. So I’m sharing with people I don’t know instead. Go internet!

The survey is for a fictional popcorn cart that our team is designing, that would be installed on campus. It’s only 9 questions, totally anonymous, and it would really help me out! Thank you!!
