Hi!! Thank you so much, and sorry for the delay crIES I WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO, THO...
Most of my brushes are variations of these two:
I hope they’re helpful!
Hello, and thank you!
I’m glad to find a fellow Mononokean fan- its western fanbase is so small ;_; I might be drawing them soon since I like the series a lot, but I'm not promising anything!
I don’t really have a strong opinion about it, since I know very little about the movies production. I think it’s totally lame that they highlighted some traits in each school and slapped gender norms on them - Beauxbatons was all about beauty and grace, feminine, while Durmstrang was rough, strong, thus, “manly”. Yikes. It was probably so they could make the viewers form an image of both schools easily, since the films are always so heavy in information, but yeah, that’s just my guess.
Thank you so much!! I enjoyed drawing it a lot, so that makes me incredibly happy to hear! But- no, sadly, I’m probably not continuing ; n ;
Hi! I like you version of hp yoi au, but it always bugged me that Viktor is in Durmstrang even though he's Russian. I mean I get it is for the plot but Durmstrang is not really culturally close to Russia, especially when there is Russian own wizarding school. So I wanted to suggest maybe you could create a little Koldovstoretz!Viktor au? I mean there's not much information about the school itself but it still would be a very interesting version - and so much freedom to imagination :) Thank you!
Hello and thank you!! I’m replying you under a read more, if that’s alright.
There is a reason I particularly didn’t choose Koldovstoretz for Viktor, neither Mahoutokoro for Yuuri, and it’s simple!
It’d limit the amount of people who would enjoy it - there aren’t many people who haven’t seen the movies or read the books, but now, fans who actively sought more knowledge on the lore beyond these two pieces of media are considerable smaller in number. I personally got into HP in this level only two years ago!
I may get some info wrong sometimes, but I DO worry about accuracy and actually did research(this little jab goes to everyone who keeps messaging me stuff like “3rd years can’t enter the tournament” or “beauxbatons is a mixed school” because I’m so tired and these questions were already cleared if you guys took the time to read my posts carefully). But the thing is, between accuracy and enjoyment, I prefer the latter.
In other words, I wanted to create something I’d enjoy and connect easily and share this experience with other people!
This also relates to what you said: “it still would be a very interesting version - and so much freedom to imagination”. You’re absolutely right, and it is a wonderful idea, but it has its flaws. It takes much more work to relate to a universe where I created most of its structure, instead of trying to stick to an already known one(Hogwarts).
Not mentioning that it gives ME much more work, too, and this is why I’ll also decline your offer! Currently I have my hands full with IRL stuff and commissions, so I’m not accepting requests. After I get my Yurio and Chris ideas out of my system, I’m probably focusing on my own personal projects, as I’ve already said once.
.
Anyway, I hope I didn’t come across as too bitter about this whole ordeal! I really, really enjoy the positive feedback I’ve gotten from everyone so far, but I I felt like i needed to establish some boundaries. While I did say that I was open to suggestions on the AU, I never thought the post would attract this much attention. ol-<
.
Oh, there’s also a minor reason, a more personal one- I’m not particularly a fan of these other schools. I mean, the ideas are cool and all - I personally like the idea of Mahoutokoro’s uniform, but I have lots of mixed feelings. While I really admire Rowling’s efforts on expanding the lore, sometimes it feels ….meh.
I’m from Brazil, but have you seen the brazilian school? Its name literally mean “wizard castle”, and of course it’s in the middle of the amazon rainforest- that’s so Brazil, right?
Your hp au is amazing, I really want to see more!!! I just wanted to ask, how did yuuri put his name in the goblet of fire since only year 7 students can do it?
Thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed it. Now, your question was already kinda answered on my first post, but since I’ve gotten more asks about it- I’ll try to be clearer!
The Triwizard Tournament originally didn’t have an age restriction, and stopped being held due to its high death toll. It actually only came back after 200 years, when Harry was at Hogwarts, thanks to the new restrictions that the Ministry imposed - and one of them was the Age Line.
Now, I already talked about why I’m stubborn about the characters ages in this AU, so I just . . . pretended like the Age Line wasn’t a thing hahaha ooops It’s not too far-fetched, after all!!
Anyway, the wiki page will probably be more informative than me, so it’s worth checking it out if you feel so inclined! <:
Aw, it’s ok! I know you meant well - if anything, I apologize for being so defensive about this issue hahaha Your ask was much nicer than most, but I guess a got a bit tired after receiving this many requests;;; So my reply probably reflected that.
Anyhow, thank you so much for being so understanding! I wish you the best! :D
Oi! Já que você é brasileira, já pensou em uma versão de seus desenhos do AU de Harry Potter em português?? Ajudaria muito mesmo quem não sabe inglês e fica perdido quanto aos lindos desenhos que você fez! Eu conheci seu Tumblr porque estou num grupo de Yuri on Ice brasileiro, e tinha tantas pessoas lá tristes porque vinham ver seus desenhos e não conseguiam entender nada! Seria algo tão legal deixar seu trabalho acessível aos brasileiros que não falam inglês! Por favor, pense nisso com carinho!
Olá! Fico super feliz em saber que tem brasileiros que estejam interessados nesse AU, e lamento não postá-lo em português )’:
Eu já pensei sim em traduzir os posts pra postar na minha página do FB, mas acabei não fazendo isso por causa do trabalho que me daria. Desenhar tudo E colocar o diálogo já me dá um esforço bem grandinho- traduzir tudo E editar as imagens de novo já é demais pra mim ol-<
(E a maioria dos brasileiros que curtem minha página acompanham mais os meus trabalhos originais do que fanarts, então… minha preguiça venceu.;;;)
Porém- não proíbo nem a reprodução, nem a tradução dos meus trabalhos, desde que tenham os créditos devidos! Inclusive, uma galera me pediu a autorização pra traduzir os posts do AU pra espanhol, e eles já postaram na página deles <:
Então, se alguém estiver disposto a se dar ao trabalho de traduzir os posts para português, sinta-se a vontade- eu apreciaria se me mandassem uma mensagem primeiro, porém, pra eu já ficar sabendo!
Posso até ajudar com a tradução, também! Meu problema de verdade é editar as imagens :‘D
Hello! Firstly, I’m no writer, so the only content I’ve made are my drawings and a fews replies on this AU here and there. I tag everything related to it in my yoi hp au tag, tho!
But there’s been a few fics written based on it, and I shall link them here:
- Jolly Yule Time, by @gabyelle (focused on the Yule Ball itself!)
- Magic on Ice, by @chibilysis(follows a wider narrative, from Yuuri’s first magic to how he got to know Victor as an idol)
- The Reason We Fight, by @infinity8769(takes more liberties but still loosely follows the AU!)
And, as I’ve said before- feel free to write/draw anything to it. If you do post, it, however- I’d appreciate it if you linked my post or blog to it, and also shared it with me, because I’d be delighted to see it!
hi!! i just wanted to tell you how much i enjoy your yoi harry potter au!! it's so cute and your drawings are amazing!! i also love how you kept their age gap and i'm quite happy to see viktor help yuuri with his confidence when yuuri is still growing!! have you thought about the two of them after the tournament? do they keep in touch? or do they meet coincidentally years later? what are their jobs?? is viktor still a quidditch player? ahh so many questions. anyways, thank you for your work!!
Hello, and thank you so much!!! I am very happy to hear that ; O ;
To be honest, by this point I’m not planning on anything else big- I think my next post will consist mostly of where other characters stand in this AU(like Yurio and Phichit), and maaaybe something else for Victor and Yuuri, but probably in present time. This AU was very fun to create, but I don’t think I’ll expand that much on it, since I have my own personal projects as well and I’ve been struggling to find time;; ol-< But I’m really happy by how well-received it was!
Now- I can still reply to your questions with my personal choices on this AU. If you consider them to be definitive answers or not, though, that’s your choice!
I got a bit excited over it, so, beware! THIS IS LOOONG.
- They grow closer to eachother by keeping in touch via letters. Yuuri’s bring great joy to Victor, who emotionally supports Yuuri whenever he’s struggling.
- That has limitations, ofc - no matter how fast you reply, there’s always a delay between the letters, and they grow more distant with the passing of the years, overcome by their own busy lives.
- So, by the time Yuuri is a 5th year(remember the O.W.L. tests? rip), their contact is reduced to periodical letters. Victor’s only been busier since he decided to dedicate his full time to quidditch, after graduating.
- And that’s how it goes. By the time Yuuri graduates, he barely knows about Victor’s life outside the news. His school life is very different, tho- with his own efforts and Victor’s support, he managed to overcome a lot of challanges, is a lot more confident and while still a little anti-social, he has friends and even fans? ? ?(hello, minami)
- now, I DON’T KNOW WHERE TF YUURI WOULD WORK. I wanted something kinda flashy but that would also leave a window for personal expression. He’d also work alone and this job would highlight his love for magic in general. Is there a job like that
- It wouldnt be quidditch related, but he’d still be a huge fan of it. And Victor(altho Yuuri doesn’t idolizes him as much as he did before they met)
- They meet. Coincidentally. idk how but they do- it’s at some party and Yuuri’s drunk bc ep10 is (praying hands emoji). Victor’s has a hard time recognizing this new Yuuri and is like “WHO TF IS THIS” but is far from displeased by it. Yuuri gets very affectionate when drunk. And hot. Right.
- After that, Victor decides to contact Yuuri again and they meet and talk properly. It’s REALLY awkward tho. They used to mean so much to eachother, and still do, but now it’s something more like a precious memory that you hold close, after all those years of distance, and that you fill with other things in your life.
- And uhhhm they manage to get closer again. Their relationship is different, but stronger! They’re both adults now, and can support each other and yadda yadda things happen but its a happy ending!
And that’s it.
As a bonus, I personally like the idea that Victor actually always loved Yuuri. It wouldn’t be something as *cough* clear-cut as romantic love esp at the beginning, tho, but nevertheless, he never felt like it’d be proper to make a move, because of their ages and also because Yuuri’s grasp on his own feelings was never solid enough. He didn’t want to push that. But his feelings were still there even after they stopped talking, and rekindled when they met again in the future, assuming a whole new form after getting closer again.
