You can sum up the entire Harry Potter series by "good idea, awful execution"

I won't be around too much for the upcoming weeks, I'm sorry guys!

Yeah, I am again in The Middle Of Effing Nowhere, France, without easy access to Wifi and all that.

Don't worry about me though! I'll be alright!

... I'm keeping busy.

I LOVED the new chapter of Men’s Sana!!! I can’t believe Ron pictures himself like that, like what?? And the Harry’s adoption part. Uh, it’s got the perfect combination of angst and humor. I especially like the bits of exaggeration Ron’s made. Thank you for posting, I was in need of some new content, I mean one can only reread their favorite fanfics so many times. Keep up the amazing work, and I was wondering if you are going to be posting regularly or not? But yeah, AMAZING CHAPTER❤️❤️

Aaaah thank youuuuu ♥

I can’t believe Ron pictures himself like that, like what??

Ah, ah, let me clarify - because like any person who writes I love talking at length about what I do, it’s an attention whore thing -

Ron doesn’t see himself as a freckle-less, auburn-haired kid.

Rather, Ron wishes he could be a freckle-less, auburn-haired kid.

His hair is a muted shade of auburn, so far from the proud ginger flame that makes him so noticeable. He is oddly pale, and it takes her a moment to realize he’s missing his freckles. His long, thin nose is shorter, his ears are smaller, and it somehow makes him look so… different.

He’s not better-looking, nor is he ugly, he isn’t, no, he’s just… different.

Different, as in… not Ron.

There’s just something missing from him, and it’s not his freckles or long nose or firey hair, he’s missing… something, she wouldn’t know how to name it...

This is how Ron wished he looked like. In a lot of Romione fanfiction you see Hermione being insecure about her body, going “oh but I’m not big-chested like Rosmerta and Lavender” and Ron telling her how much prettier she is compared to them. It’s nice, it’s nice, but... we seldom see the other side of the coin.

Because boys can and do feel insecure about their looks and not in the “I wish I had more muscle” cliché way either, and you know how effing self-conscious Ron is and just how he nitpicks at all his perceived inadequacies until he’s convinced himself he’s the worst person on Earth? Yeah I just know he’s the same way about his physique too.

So he corrected all the little things he hated about himself. He removed some of the biggest tells that he’s a Weasley - because he doesn’t want to be another Weasley, so the less he looks like one, the better. As for the ears and the nose, they’re classic body parts to be dissatisfied with - I myself have rather protruding ears, which I can luckily cover with my hair, and I kept thinking my nose was too big when I was like, 14 or 15 - in spite of being a total Hermione and thinking that appearance didn’t matter!

And the Harry’s adoption part. Uh, it’s got the perfect combination of angst and humor.

Aww thanks! <3 This scene flowed super easily. I spent eons stuck at Slughorn’s party’s introduction, not knowing exactly how to write Slughorn and Ron’s face-off, then I remembered that @windschildfanfictionwriter‘s suggestion to include something Harry-related in-between all the Hermione stuff, and the final scene of the chapter practically wrote itself.

Thank you for posting, I was in need of some new content, I mean one can only reread their favorite fanfics so many times. 

I KNOW RIGHT?? Uuuugh I CRAVE some new fics, or some updates to old fics that are probably never going to be updated again, but the problem is that I am a very demanding bitch that requires her characterization to be a very specific way, and in short it would be easier if I wrote the fics myself instead of waiting for someone to write them for me. BUT I DON’T WANNA READ MY OWN FIC I WANNA READ SOMETHING SOMEONE ELSE MADE THAT SPECIFICALLY CATERS TO MY VERY SPECIFIC TASTES IS THAT SO MUCH TO AAAAASK

*cough*

I was wondering if you are going to be posting regularly or not? 

.................. considering that the next chapter after this one is a big fat blank, I’m going to tell you... It’s gonna. Take. A while.

I have tons of half-finished WIPs floating about in my Google Drive, missing whole scenes and entire chunks of story, because when I have a story idea, I usually have a specific scene in mind. I picture this one scene with perfect clarity, like I’m making a movie out of it, and from this one specific scene and a few themes I want to explore, I come up with an entire story.

Mens Sana sprouted from two scenes: the one at the beginning of Chapter 4: Wildfire, with Harry trapped in brambles and a raging inferno blazing its way to him, and the upcoming scene where Harry and Hermione finally find Ron... and find out all’s not well, to say the least.

I piece together the story as I go. It took me so long to write this chapter because I had no idea how to go from Point A to Point B in a way that made sense, in a way that felt natural, and still keep enough action for it to not look like “Harry and Hermione look at a slideshow of Ron’s life and feel bad”.

To tell you the truth, I have the very, very last scene of the fanfic written out. I have the two big emotional, climax-y chapters ready but I think Harry and Hermione are too passive in them and I have to make some edits. I’m going to end up with a few deleted scenes, and they’re definitely going to be put into some sort of “bonus” chapter. Just so people can see how much I like to torture my favourite character.

Thank you so much for the kind words, they are greatly appreciated and I’ll do my best to write more <3

Today we learn from the best

Big thanks to my pal Michelangelo for being super mega gay and making male anatomy a bit more easy for me

I feel like most of the fandom’s stance on Draco has been influenced by fanfiction. I mean, it’s almost impossible nowadays to find headcanons that don’t involve Draco somehow being friendly with Harry or a fanfiction where Draco is tossed in Azkaban and left to rot, people seem to assume that he’s an important character somehow because he was “Harry’s rival”. Calling him Harry’s “rival” is already giving him too much credit, he’s more like, a very determined bedbug.

A quickly, badly-drawn tribute to my latest fictional husband.

(Also done without a reference because I’m dumb.)

I can’t be the only one who rooted for him even when he was trying to kill me, right? Right...?

((also it’s all that fucking chassis’ fault there I said it))

What is that? Is it Vivi’s art? It is Vivi’s art! *gasp* And when I say “art” I of course mean “fooling around Photoshop and having zero idea what I’m doing all the while”.

I don’t know how long this took me. 8 hours? Maybe? Probably.

So. Flying stones! In the desert. With mystical carvings on them. I like flying stones with mystical carvings on them. Totally dig that aesthetic.

I drew a mermaid!... a weird mermaid but she is a mermaid. And she’s an angler fish too!

It took me a few days to do this drawing and I wasn’t sure if I should post it here because that Tumblr is mainly for me to fangirl about things but whoops it’s posted now

Your scheduled gushing about Ron Weasley should resume shortly
