The Lion Codex Update

After a long hiatus, the Alchemist Chronicle series finally continues. Here's a link to the latest chapter!

[cuckooboo]

… it just happened. 

A few months ago I told you that one of my non-negotiable headcanons is that Draco and Harry’s relationship had a lot of back and forth over the years, so this illustration sits in the middle of one of those “maybe I love you but I’m not willing to leave everything behind to be with you”. 

But I have to confess that I didn’t plan this, I just wanted to draw some silhouettes against the light and one thing led to another. I guess it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t add some drama to it. 

Anyway, I know this isn’t my best drawing but I just don’t want to spend more time on it (sorry for being so mediocre, today is a shitty day for me). 

Feedback is always welcome! 

Love, 

Cuckooboo

"That sounds like a good idea......."-"Is there something bothering you with the idea?"-"No, the idea is GOOD.....🙂"

[biteswhenprovoked]

Can someone explain this to me?

[cop-disliker69]

Old people use quotation marks to indicate emphasis, as a substitute for italics (which many of them could not produce on the old typewriters they learned to write on), whereas young people use them to indicate sarcasm or falseness. They’re used as “scare quotes”.

And old people use ellipses simply to indicate a pause, or for some other incomprehensible reason I’m not aware of. But young people use ellipses to indicate passive-aggression.

So an old person could type something like:

how are things going with your “boyfriend”….

and what they mean is

How are things going with your boyfriend? [Im so excited for you, sweetie, and I wanna hear about it]

But a young person would interpret that sentence as

How are things going with your so-called boyfriend…. [I say, while seething with contempt for him and possibly for you too]

[kaispeakshermind]

The linguistic difference across generations is beautifully explained here thank you

[otatma]

oh shit I have to give up ellipses I've been using them old people way

what resolves as trailing off in the moderner dialect?

[luckyladylily]

I think the difference is interpreting how a conversational pause would work. Ellipses are a deliberately inserted pause beyond what would normally be part of a conversation. It is a pause with deeper meaning than just a normal pause. When you ask a question, of course there is going to be a pause for a response, so there is no need to point it out. Therefore specifically pointing it out has extra conversational weight - it isn’t just asking the question, it is demanding an answer. Context determines how the demand is interpreted. The more directed the pause is the more weight is put on it, like staring someone down someone else in a conversation.

On the other hand, the less directed the pause is the less weight there is. For example: “I’m just... really fucking tired...” Comes off as emphasizing the sense of low energy and being overwhelmed.

Really appealing to me to headcanon Draco and Harry as kinda weird looking motherfuckers who make eye contact and are like. Is that the most entrancing looking bitch I’ve ever seen????

[drarrytrash]

Harry Potter characters and whether I think they’re hot:

Harry: Everyone thinks Harry is hot but no one knows /why/. I feel like he has a like power glare that does a lot of heavy lifting for him and that kind of messy hair where you’re like fuck that looks intentional but I KNOW it’s not bc none of his clothes match???? And then ur like is it his POSTURE what am I looking at??? Also he has a crooked nose and it’s hot

Draco: rat! Rat that smells like really really expensive cologne, more expensive than your fucking LIFE cologne, everything he wears is so flattering WHY does he sit like that, why is he so interesting to watch? No eyebrows but you don’t realize it until way later bc it just makes his face look even more like it knows ur secrets

Ron: so so boring but good arms. Freckles. His ears kinda stick out. Everyone is like under the impression that no one else thinks he’s hot but at a party if you were feeling bold and turned to your friend and were like “ok I’m sorry but. Ron is kinda hot” your friend would be like “OH MY GOD OKAY LIKE I SEE IT THO”

Neville: he’s a very specific person’s type and I’m so so happy for them

Pansy: Pansy has a kind of large and mean mouth and she somehow looks fucking insanely modelesque in pictures. This is to say that it doesn’t matter if Pansy is hot because she is tall, her makeup is immaculate, her outfits are insane, and she conducts herself as if she’s a hot person and that’s more than half the battle.

Ginny: I feel like Ginny is a tik tok lesbian where you’re like ok I get that you’re objectively a perfect looking person but do you know how to fuck and then you fall into a trance and watch like 490 of their videos and by the end you’re like. But am /I/ a real person attracted to this???

Blaise: One of those people who are so objectively beautiful that looking at them makes you feel kinda mad? And then they’re kinda nice to you and you’re like :/ ugh now I have to nurse a crush on you for the next six months

Hermione: ok she’s the friend that everyone quietly has a crush on bc she has that lil something when she really listens to you when you’re telling a story and you’re like omg why are you leaning towards me so excitedly have your eyes always been this bright and sparkly also she is just candy for bottoms they see her and just know she knows what’s she’s doing

Greg: that is a himbo everyone

Slow burn but it's written by an impatient person

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

This doesn't affect the speed of the developing relationship at all, but does make for a very passive aggressive narrator.

Slow burn but the writer is angry about it
