the narcissus are beautiful again today
it’s mornings like this, when the sun has just cleared the horizon, when its rays kiss the dew-sprinkled grass, when everything is fresh and dazzling and wonderful in midsummer; it’s mornings like this when draco misses his mother most.

my blog’s just messed up not. there’s no order, no pattern. nothing. just chaos. not even organised chaos
what actually happened at the yule ball
Nox: I can't marry you, you're too good for me! Chase: What does that even mean?! Nox: You are too nice to me! Chase: I'll be less nice! Nox: Your gifts are too specific! Chase: I'll get you a gift card! I'm sorry! I never meant to hurt you! Nox: You're too emotionally supportive! Chase: We can work on that in therapy! Nox: It's the money! You make too much money! Chase: I'll do improv! Nox: .... Nox: NO!
I see a lot of positivity posts about 12-year-olds just learning to draw. Posts cautioning us to be mindful of 11-year-olds with no grasp of anatomy and 13-year-olds whose characters are all the same person with different hair and clothes, and I love those posts. Those are great posts. Keep those posts coming, tumblr.
But can I ask, what about the 25-year-old who just bought their first ever sketchbook? What about the 32-year-old who’s been drawing for a month and has just about got the hang of a human-looking face? What about the 67-year-old who finally has time to sit down and learn how to paint like they’ve always wanted?
Not everyone starts drawing as a child. Not everyone learned as a preteen. Some people start in college. Some people start when their career is going well and they feel like it’s time for a new hobby. Some people start after they’ve retired.
Not all beginner artists are kids, and I just think the adults ones deserve some encouragement, too.
These are my personal favs, I might miss a few but i’ll try my best! (there may or may not be repeats from my last rec list)
1. “Something’s Gotta Give” - TubbsTheCat: Shigarki and co get to Izuku before the heroes do. People die, it’s sad and emotional and really really good.
2. “Playing With a Full Deku” - Haurvatat: Izuku is more of a sassy vigilante than a true villain. Funny and sad at the same time. There’s a side story with some Todoeku :)
3. “ All for One, All for Him” - Auresalia: Total villain izuku. Heartbreaking at times and so so good. 24 chapters of angst and amazing writing
4. ”It’s Spelled ‘Trader’ Not 'Traitor'” - JackobolTrades : okay so I love this fic but it’s not really villain izuku but oh well. Basically Izuku has AFO and uses it to help people with their quirks but it gets a little complicated. Slight tw
5. “One May Smile, and Smile, And Be A Villain” - AvaRose: Izuku isn’t accepted into UA and becomes a police officer instead but it doesn’t really work out as planned.
6. “Sleeping With Ghosts” - Lalazee: Small but really awesome one shot. Villain Deku plus an angry Katsuki and at grocery store :)
7. “Pulling the Wires” - catsplosionxd, PsychoLimbo: :) I just HAD to include PTW. If you haven’t read it already do it now!!
8. “Decomposition” - thepensword: super angsty one shot. Poor Izuku :(
9. “At Times so Self Destructive” - theshoutingslytherin: SUPER emotional. tw for suicide attempt. Villain Izuku defect AU
10. “Changeling” - littleberd: noumu Izuku. Very good but super angsty and a few tw just a heads up.
OKAY i’m done for now! If you guys want another one soon just let me know!
Lily’s like, “I can excuse bullying and attempted murder, but I draw the line at Dark Magic.”
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
