I’m having a lot of buzzcut drarry thoughts today.
After a long time stalling, I’ve finally read Dwelling. Also because of this immaculate work of @sits-bound, and @tackytigerfic’s caution encouragement. I may have survived, but not without a crater in my chest made by thousands of shards. Here’s my sloppy attempt to patch that up.
PS. Dear @pl0tty and my irl friends, you’re the OG. Thank you for your insights. ♥︎
You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
Geese—I had to.
middle aged harry is prob the keanu reeves of the wizarding world. handsome guy, kinda shaggy looking these days, but cool because he doesn't try to be. very unassuming. kind to everyone. a little bit weird. widely beloved.

I think a really good relationship dynamic is when one partner is an entirely absurd person and the other partner's perpetual thought process is, "I adore you. Why are you like this? I'm going to kiss you at such length and with such fervor that you'll get disoriented and stop being like this for five minutes and I can rest, for fuck's sake."

Summary: Potter still wasn't looking at him. Instead he faced the windows, watching the snow and the sunless sea.
Behind the welcome desk, standing tall amidst the wisdom and glistening magic, Draco controlled the spheres of restless light and the flustered books, all with gentle flicks of a wand that had once served Potter without a beat of hesitation.
If Potter were to look, Draco would be ready. He had a right to be here. The library was his, if only after hours.

redeemed draco is great and all but barely redeemed (really just domesticated) draco who is untouchable cause he’s dating the chosen one is 10/10
I know some of these characters can be killed but you get my point lol 😂
It’s just the messy hair (would run his hands on it), those ugly forest-green eyes (would stare at them all day) and his towering savior title that made him look taller. Really.
Previous Harry was supposed to be this but the beard and long hair just spilled out. Your reactions were lovely (and quite feral), and I share the same sentiment, folks. I really do.
Hmm Harry having a tea party with the spiders and leaves he finds!
quick doodle: little harry throws a tea party
be careful you may slip—see i just told you!
I needed to remind myself that this is a drarry blog

Honored to have been tagged by two of the artists I admire a normal amount: @littlewinnow (hope you have a wonderful time with the new sketchbook!) & @valoale (here's to a great time in Scotland and photographs!)
Last song: Lost In Space - Lighthouse Family (currently jamming to maesterchill's shuffle list)
Favourite color: Neutral and earth tones
Last film/ show: Friends
Sweet/savory/spicy: Spicy, then savory (sweet... can't stand much)
Relationship status: Single
Last thing I googled: Frotcot because I saw it on @pl0tty's tags and I'm not sure what that is... (enlighten me)
Current obsession: Procreate brushes that'll feel and work better for me along the way, and also, sleep. 6-8 hours of restful sleep.
Last book: I think it's Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, or The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (a constant in my life).
Looking forward to: There's an upcoming art fair near us, and I hope me and my friend can visit (if our work schedule allows, hopefully!) + the Haikyuu!! Final, which I think should be a series and not a movie because dear lord those last few chapters in the manga are gold and I gotta see 'em in flesh!

i was gonna do a tiny thing as my contribution to the draw drarry badly challenge and then it turned into a 4-page comic. that i drew on my phone. with my fingers. oh well!
thanks @julcheninred for organizing the challenge!! 😎
I found it difficult to maintain my breath as I read your response, scanning through the tags and summaries of the linked fics. Will I dive in? Absolutely. Will I come back normal? Debatable.
Harry with a hint of darkness always captivates me. To witness him acting in ways contrary to canon or his usual portrayal in fics, to contemplate how his moral compass might fluctuate in different circumstances, whether influenced by external factors or his own internal conflicts.
Oh, Frayach! *drops to my knees* Their work, Bound Skerry (if you haven’t read it yet), in my opinion, perfectly embodies this theme too. That Harry, and the way we only glimpsed him through Draco still haunts me to this day.
I’ll definitely read The Offering, too! Thank you!
PS. The day you ever decide to write a dark or morally grey Harry Potter, in terms of magical prowess or political power, or the idea you mentioned (Master of Death Harry with a close unreliable narration) well, hello to my end.
Never have I ever: Dark, or morally grey Harry Potter? 🙈
ohhh hello, pal!! thank you for this ask which is a really interesting one and a trope i was just thinking about the other day.
I have never written dark/morally grey Harry in terms of politics or magical power. However if you're talking personally/emotionally then I have written him as a bit (or a lot) of a shit quite a few times. I've chosen these because in them, he deliberately goes out to cause harm, which imo is a different thing to an ordinary, nice person being a bit selfish or acting the dick (yes i'm looking at you, the commenters on modern love who think harry should be pilloried for how badly he treats poor sweet little angel draco lmao)
Call Me Friend - baby's tacky's first fic 😅It's a Neville POV where he's in a relationship with Harry... or so he thinks.
Buttercup - this is a crossgen Harry x Scorpius fic and i think everyone (except Draco, bless him) is a bit terrible in this
Aaaand The Quiver of a Heartstring which I wrote for Unhappily Ever After fest and just has Draco treating Harry badly and then Harry treating someone else badly and no one comes out of it looking well.
I don't actually think I have ever read a dark Harry fic?! The only one I can think of is The Offering by Frayach which I remember really liking back in the day.
If I were to write this trope now, btw, I think I'd go for a Harry whose power grows too large (something to do with his mastery of death perhaps?) and who ends up having to work against his very nature in terms of how he navigates the world... maybe a really close unreliable narration where you think at first that he's lovely and then as the fic unfolds you start seeing these unsettling glimpses of the world around him where his actions have really significant consequences. i do think Harry is good and kind at heart though, so that would be interesting to work through.
Babe
There's something tragic about you
Something so magic about you
Don't you agree?
Lately, all I have are wips that intimidate me, so I tried to do a very quick study to get out from the claws—ended up liking this quite a bit so I thought I’d share it. Happy Friday, everyone!
So I uh took the surgeon thing a bit further
Made him a neurosurgeon just because
