Could you recommand some rp blogs in the HP fandom to follow?

((Absolutely! 

@llilyrevans is a fantastic Lily Evans with a super sweet Mun. She writes on a great many varied topics, through several ages, and is OC friendly. You;ll also find a lot of pretty aesthetic posts on her blog as well. I could not praise her enough if I tried <3

@hashereyes is a superb Harry Potter. Though the Mun is on hiatus at the moment, I would strongly recommend them as they are worth the wait.

@dragcnmade Draco is very well written here and the Mun puts a lot of feeling into their posts. Don’t be afraid to send notes to the Mun and plot things out because they are a riot to talk to.

@transfigurationist  and @thenormalsister  are both written by the same Mun, and they are a joy to write with as McGonagall and Petunia Dursley.

@daddyxreaper as Death, master of the Deathly Hallows. The Mun is as eloquent as they are imaginative <3 They also RP as Madam Pomfrey on @madamehealer so if you enjoy the ball of sass that is Poppy in all her glory, you should check that one out. As a third for this Mun, @thegreyback shows Fenrir Greyback. As a forewarning, there can be a fair bit of graphic violence, but that’s definitely true to the character.

Before it slips my mind, @hufflepuff-metamorphmagus as clumsy badass Tonks, of course.

@areyouinthebeyond as the ever awesome Professor Trelawney.

@git-isms is another Severus I really love to read along with. On this blog, they play as Sev’s twin brother, Eugene, but mainly they are Severus. There are all sorts of fun plots over there.

@defiantcharms is another well done Lily who spans over many ages and verses to make for a very flexible experience.

Some OCs who have the world of Harry Potter as a main or a side verse:

@missfesterworth as Jilomena, a witch of many talents (NSFW warning for some posts, but she tags them appropriately)

@somewhat-managed-mischief for Penelope Plunket, a plucky witch working with the Kwickspell company, though as I understand it the blog has branched out into multiple muses (I need to catch up!)

@mus-brunneis ADORABLE HUFFLEPUFF STUDENT IS ADORABLE

Forgive me, I know there are many more, but these are the first which come to mind. Happy clicking!))

u only ship snily? like at all? no snarry or snanger?

((I’ve answered this a handful of times, but I’ll try to explain as best I can. If I’m reading fanfics, I ship lots of things. Not gonna lie, I love me some Snupin fics as an example, lol. On this blog, I am single ship, even through the AUs. I didn’t start out with the idea that it would be Lily he ended up with. Really, I didn’t plan on shipping him at all. If it happened, it happened. I’m here for story. It was whichever character had chemistry with him at the end of things. Could have been a canon character or an OC, but it ended up being a Lily RP blog. Ani’s Lily really won Severus over in a big way. It was a slow climb of rebuilding burned bridges that eventually became a relationship beyond a mended friendship, which I found to be quite beautiful. This blog is still open to platonic relationships, etc., but I stick to the idea of one romantic love for this blog. Lots of people multi-ship, and that’s great, truly. I just personally do not RP multiple romantic partners.))

Imagine, if you will, a kingdom crafted entirely of sugar and sweets. All of the inhabitants are also sweets, or else are sweets themed. Some of them race around in vehicles made of cookies, cakes, and candies- even the king, who is a funny little man with a round nose, poofy pants, and a cheery smile. Imagine.

The Professor narrowed his eyes, leaning in practically nose to nose with the anon.

“DINKLEBURG.”

He clearly did not care for that particular person.

Does this blog rp with any Sirius blogs?

((I haven’t yet, no. That’s not to say I am adverse to it. It just hasn’t happened yet. I think most Muns for Muses like Sirius, James, Remus, etc tend to keep their distance because I am very pro-Snape on this blog. HOWEVER, that does not mean that I believe his opposing characters are without merit. All of the Rowling characters have lots of grey areas and many-layered nuances to them. I strongly believe that you shouldn’t be made to feel shitty for loving a character. If you love Sirius/James/Remus/Peter/Voldemort/Harry/Hermione/Ron/even Umbridge, that’s wonderful. I mean it. Fun fact, I love them, too. I just think they should be held accountable for shitty things, juuust like ole Sneep. I frequently tell my Muse that he is a butthole. He knows it. But he’s not all bad, not at all. He has his reasons, even if not all of them are awesome or immediately understandable. As long as folks realize that, I’m cool to RP with pretty much anyone as long as there is no behind the scenes drama <3))

You are Neville's worst fear. Can you honestly say you don't feel a little bad about how you treat that boy? And don't get me started on how you behave towards Harry! Lily would be so disappointed in you.

“Mm. I am Longbottom’s boggart, indeed. Just as Professor McGonnagall is Granger’s boggart. In fact, as I recall, she made sure that Longbottom remained locked out of the Gryffindor common rooms without passwords while a potential serial killer lurked about the hallways. But let us gloss over that, of course. I’m sure the Dark Lord would have trusted me ever so much more if I’d thrown myself at Potter’s feet and fawned over him like everyone else. Funnily enough, Lily is now my wife, risen from the grave. Feel free to take your cowardly anonymous aggression elsewhere.”

random little thing but i really thing you would enjoy the new rina sawayama song from the john wick chapter 4 soundtrack 🤘

still in a period where I resemble my boy more than others, but since this is all somewhat on brand despite the mostly-radio silence I did hear it yesterday. have to confess it didn't immediately grab me just due to personal genre preferences, but having listened to it again this morning it is probably like his snake eater. at minimum the idea of a "john wick song" might actually start having more weight considering it just feels like I've seen more press on this than the others (her being in the film is also probably helpful, but). like I almost forgot Jerry Cantrell did the one for JW2

anyway: it is growing on me, not least because they have finally gone with the phrasing everyone in this bar enjoys to some extent (your definition of enjoyment may vary), which I imagine did come into some account for the rec, so thank you

in recompense I have included the song in question for the curious and also an additional if tangentially relevant philosophical scene from a different film; please enjoy

Pass the happy along! When you get this, reply with 5 things that make you happy and then send it to the last 10 people in your activity! xx

Snape peered at the message, scrutinizing the purpose. With a resigned sigh, he penned the first five things that came to mind in no particular order.

1) Rain storms

2) Reading

3) The sound of a cauldron bubbling

4) A good cup of tea

5) …Lily

Annoying child meme: The small child holds out his hand. Resting in the palm is a crumpet. Someone clearly took a bite off it, and judging by the crumbs sticking to lil' Ravi's cheek, he was the culprit. "Here! For yoU!" he beamed. Showing off a toothed grin, with a gap where the left front tooth was supposed to be. "The crumpet of courage!"

Severus looked down at the crumpet in clear distaste. An eyebrow raised as he lowered the book he’d been reading. The snack time had not even given him enough time to make it through a paragraph. He gave a withering glance to the wall clock, then looked back to the child.

“I’m full up on courage.” he replied dryly. “You eat it. Little boys who don’t finish their food turn into snails.”
