Hi Frank! There’s a lot of snow near me right now- do you like snow? What do you like to do in the snow? I like to stay cozy inside.

I only like snowy places where the temperature has stayed near or below freezing for several days. I'm afraid it just melts on me as soon as it gets down to the freezing point and then I'm just surrounded by a bunch of wet mush. (This sounds less bad in an ideal situation but you can imagine how it is in real life.)

Trick or Treat! Happy Halloween! Something to do with Draco in the muggle world or Harry and the Twins maybe? Thank you!

Harry lies back in a field, the stars and moon hanging above them, with Draco right next to him, warm and relaxed and so, so close. “What do you want to do?” 

“Repaint the kitchen, maybe a nice butter yellow,” he answers promptly.

Harry rolls his eyes. “I meant after Hogwarts. In an ideal world, if you could do anything, what would you do?” 

“If I could do anything?” Draco repeats, a strange note to his voice. Harry’s not sure he likes the sound of it, and is about to change the subject when Draco pushes himself up onto his elbows and then rolls over, holding himself over Harry, his knees around his hips, and suddenly his view of the moon and stars obscured by Draco’s eyes. “Absolutely anything?” 

“Yes,” Harry says, answering the question he’s asking and the one he isn’t. 

Draco leans down, tilts his head to the side, and kisses him.

Hi! I love your art! I have a question and you 100% don’t have to answer but I’d love to know: do you have any recommendations for English translations of JttW? Thank you!

Thank you and sure thing! The only translations I can really vouch for are the Anthony C. Yu translations. They’re very complete and extremely accurate and come with a preface that calls out Arthur Waley. They read a bit more formally than the actual Chinese due to the nature of translation but they’re very solid translations! He has a four volume complete translation and an abridged translation!

RE: #no you idiot they’re birds

Hey uh, hey Alder- what do you think a beaver is?? Do you think a beaver is a bird?

right before that it says “oh my god the way people talk about birds” because I am a bird person and know the most about bird behavior.

also the official animal behavior term for birds where all sexes have multiple mates is “promiscuity” so, like, it is obnoxiously anthropomorphizing AND yknow. Like That

MM modern AU

Julia is a doctor and also a famous youtuber who makes videos about her exciting life bc she’s always doing or learning something new. She often has her inventor husband Murdoch on to share what he’s been working on and to do silly activities. Gillies is a crazy fan they had to get a restraining order on

Henry (a C list actor) and Ruth (an A list celebrity actress) get married exactly a week after meeting on the set of a popular tv show. They are constantly in the tabloids for interacting with paparazzi, and the media is forever obsessed with their romance

Watts and George are married and are the best dads :) they have twins (boy and a girl) and a golden retriever who they treat like a third child. George is a creative writing professor and Watts is a freelance artist/photographer.

An off guard blurry photo of George that Watts took becomes a very popular meme

Watts and George met through a conspiracy theory reddit thread (as teenagers but they only meet irl years later and fall in love immediately), Jackson and Watts met as college roommates, Higgins and George are childhood best friends. The four of them meet Rebecca and Emily (who also met that night in the club bathroom) when they are all out very late partying at pride and they immediately form a super strong friend group. They all play dnd together, Jackson is the dungeon master

send me and au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it ✨

I’ve read it! It’s called Every Heart A Doorway and it is an exceptional book. I really enjoyed it and I recommend it! It also has a trans main character!

ask the internet and the internet delivers - thank you! @beejones2180, hopefully this starts to fill the missing space in your bookshelf for happy stories with ace protagonists :D (i’ll definitely be adding it to my own to-read list!)
