Alive

@drarrymicrofic Steal - 259 words

“What do you have there?” Harry quietly says as he plucks the quill from Misty’s mouth. “Where’d you get this from?”

He turns the quill around in his fingers, appreciating the swirling gold embellished into the metal. “Don’t tell me you went and stole this from someone!” Harry chastises, but he can’t stay mad at Misty’s pouting eyes. He sighs and scratches behind her ears, her tail wagging with excitement. “You’re a naughty dog, you know that?”

“Well,” says a voice suddenly. “There’s the thief.”

Harry looks up and stares at the panting… Malfoy. His pale cheeks are red with exertion, his hair undone, curling around his eyes. “Malfoy?”

“Your dog nicked my quill.”

“I see.”

“You really aught to train that thing,” Malfoy says with a huff, going to snatch the quill out from Harry’s grip, but Harry snatches his hand back.

“How do I know this belongs to you?” Harry says with a grin. “I don’t see your name written on this.”

“Potter.” Malfoy glares. “If you do not return my quill, I will hex you.”

Harry pretends to think on it for a moment, scratching behind his head with the tip of the feather. “Let me think on that for a second,” he says, then without warning, he bolts off the bench and tears down the path, laughing as Malfoy cries out in surprise and Misty barks with excitement.

The sun warms his skin, the wind tempers the heat, and Malfoy’s outrageous cursing as he follows Harry reminds him how good it is to be alive.

Art for my Incorrect Quote: It's not what it looks like

Adding Context

Eskimo - This word is considered offensive by some people. In Canada and Greenland, the preferred name is Inuit.

Eskimo is a word that presents challenges for anyone who is concerned about avoiding the use of offensive language. Its offensiveness stems partly from a now-discredited belief that it was originally a pejorative term meaning "eater of raw flesh," but perhaps more significantly from its being a word imposed on aboriginal peoples by outsiders. It has long been considered a word to be avoided in Canada, where native people refer to themselves as Inuit, a word that means "people" in their language. But not all the native people who are referred to as Eskimos are Inuit. Eskimo has no exact synonym; it has a general meaning that encompasses a number of indigenous peoples, and it continues for now in widespread use in many parts of the English-speaking world.

Although the name "Eskimo" was commonly used in Alaska to refer to Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this usage is now considered unacceptable by many or even most Alaska Natives, largely since it is a colonial name imposed by non-Indigenous people. Alaska Natives increasingly prefer to be known by the names they use in their own languages, such as Inupiaq or Yupik. "Inuit" is now the current term in Alaska and across the Arctic, and "Eskimo" is fading from use. The Inuit Circumpolar Council prefers the term "Inuit" but some other organizations use "Eskimo".

if you're here for genuine connections, you should try being less rude

Sorry I made a comment about society on that philosophical post.

This was about how corrupt investors will put in multiple gas stations and McDonalds instead of things that improve the community. Wasn't about you, nor was it rude.

*editing to add it doesn't appear the original poster was the one sending the sexist ask and this gaslight but a random thirdparty that presumably did not understand why adding a McDonalds doesn't make a place better or that the comment wasn't about the artist or art but rather interpretation of the point made in the work*

@warlockisaslur liked for a lyric starter!

❝Clad in the merged color of Darkness, just like an aura. ❞ Hands held out, drawing attention to the pitch-black suit that clung to his blue skin, more than just an outfit.

Roots of the King!
