[James and Regulus making out]

Sirius, walking in: Hey Prongs— Wh—

Sirius, yelling: Get your hands off my brother you fuck!

James: [raises hands]

Sirius: Now, what the the actual hell is—

Regulus: [also raises hands]

Sirius: Why the fuck are YOUR hands up, Reg

Regulus: I—

Regulus: I didn’t know which brother you meant

Sirius getting in trouble and McGonagall not calling his parents because Sirius was disowned, but also not calling the Potters because they had to take care of talking to James.

So, she decides to bring Regulus to her office and just let him yell at Sirius.

my dumbass clicked on this tag, ecstatic, and then had the audacity to act surprised when it was just an influx of drarry fics.

idk what i was expecting🧍🏻‍♀️

i'm. i'm writing my fic, rn, bc, it hasn't been done before. that's like. the whole point.

it's cool. drarry's cool, i like it, i'm just not in the mood for it rn

we've seen harry rebuilding draco up from a low point (in fics). do i think he'd acc be any good at it? no. do i think he would contain the level of obsession within him (for draco, for him specifically) that draco would require for it to not be seen as pity? also no. do i think harry is emotionally intelligent/astute enough to accurately clock & juggle both their strong + controversial emotions during this process so this doesn't end in blows? . . . could be debated, however brute-forcing past it is his entire emotional m.o., so.

anyways read my fic ig and stan dron for clear skin i'm gonna go be a clown somewhere else

i'm talking abt Brutus by The Buttress level of envy btw

klance can be so toxic, they can be SOOO TOXIC and it's so delicious bc their insecurities are exactly equal and Opposite, they want to be each other sooo bad, the other's very existence is like a persistent thumb digging into a bruise if not an Open Wound, there is so much space for resentment, SO MUCH space for resentment and miscommunication and emotional stuntedness and misunderstandings . . . klance nation serve this up please 🙏🙏🙏

Love you, canon Sirius. Sirius, who loved his motorbike and leaned back in chairs. Sirius who suffered 12 years in Azkaban while being innocent. Sirius, who missed crossword puzzles and turned into a dog to escape. Sirius, who bonded with other animals and magical creatures. Sirius, who wanted to commit a murder in front of children. Sirius, who is tall and terrifying. A pureblood heir. The bad child. Sirius, who is top of the class. Sirius, who chose his own family. Sirius, who bullied other students for fun and told Snape about the willow because he was a noisy git. Sirius, who doesn't apologize for who he is. Sirius, who ate rats to be closer to Harry and fought Molly who tried to question his parenthood. Sirius, who is brave and energetic and didn't do well just sitting in the house when others are in danger. Sirius who didn't lose his mind in Azkaban. Sirius who was a competent wizard, loyal friend and loving godfather. Sirius who is moody and drank alcohol to cope and lost his temper. Sirius who never wanted to be apart from James. Sirius who hated the dark arts. Sirius who was mean to Kretcher. Sirius who risked his life constantly for people he loved and died protecting Harry.

idk if i have enough reach for this, but i consistently have rare-ish opinions so if any of y'all wanna send me a ship or character (mostly from hp, voltron, or bnha, but go wild) i'll serve up my most controversial take on them :3

Sometimes you gotta lord your tiny height difference over your sworn rival. I miss early seasons klance.

Welcome back space rangers

they both do this to each other btw, draco even started it. in his mind ron occupies a space scarily adjacent to beloved little pet.

draco, mentally, while stroking ron's hair: i've always wanted a puppy.

"It worried Ron sometimes, and the uncomfortable, hard edge of it pressed up against his side even when he wasn't-- that Draco only kept agreeing to these meetings not (only) out of obligation, but because he viewed him as some petty form of entertainment. A talking, dancing monkey in a long line of dancing monkeys, that he deigned to wave a hand at and let amuse him after he grew bored, of-- of swimming in a massive pool filled to the brim with his own Galleons, or whatever it is rich bastards did in their free time.

hell, the way he looked at him sometimes, undeniably fond, but exactly in the way you'd look at a pet that just did something cute-- the way he put his hands on him, how he liked to curl one around the back of his neck to prompt Ron to look up at him, then thread it in his hair and keep it there, proprietary."

draco is incredibly touch starved, obviously (we're going off of pure canon where it's clear he has no real friends, and his parents aren't exactly . . huggers), and so what ends up happening eventually is that ron just takes to petting him like he's a damn dog:

i'd like to highlight specially the scenes above where ppl just freaking, rub a hand over the entirety of will's face, bc first off wth, and second off draco would LIVE for that shit he is so pathetic wet car.

and they cuddle. obviously. draco is clingy asf. as they bond he takes to standing with his arm around ron's waist whenever they're next to each other, specifically bc ron's taller and he thinks thats awesome, actually

since i got two of these gay ass fucking reels in a row and got one-shotted by this fuckin one right before i was abt to go to bed i think this would be a good time to share that the central conflict or wtvr of inspiral is that the two of them are trying to keep draco from dying.

yes, draco tries to have the "you need to learn how to act when i'm gone" conversation, several times in fact. good freaking night.

(bonus)

writing really is just googling synonyms. that's it. just a constant carousel of "I used this word two paragraphs ago, what is another word for this word"

the lil mannerisms and micro-struggles i give these british teenage boys are so . . unabashedly girl-coded, undoubtedly bc im a gal myself, in what i hope is in a subtle way but idek atp,,,

draco slaps half a pound of gel onto his head whenever he's too dead inside to do his hair in the morning, ron gets sidelined and mansplained to constantly and chooses to smile genially and take it bc it'd take just too much energy to get properly offended abt it . . .

draco hides nearly every single emotion he has behind a polite, blank smile whenever he's not (performatively) taking out his pent-up anger on the gryff trio, he is performing for an audience even when he's not supposed to be, when he's taking a break from the mask to be nasty and cruel . . but of course you have to be nasty and cruel in just the right way of course . . .

ron has so deeply internalized the belief that you have to be exceptional (something he is inherently, at the absolute base-level, not, he believes) to be worthy as a person that he's completely stopped putting in any effort at all; has so completely given up hope for himself (his erised-reflected pipe dream of standing out: head boy, quidditch captain, etc) that he struggles to see his own positive/arguably exceptional aspects at all; is living, essentially, in low power mode . . .

Ron would be an auror yes, not bc he's particularly ambitious or glory/thrill/danger-seeking or combat-talented or morally driven, but bc it's the closest thing to a Detective the wizarding world has and i think he'd be rlly good at that

remembered this one school project i did on Lathe of Heaven so here

in memorium of this baddie (george orr):

the og malewife imo

draco, 6th year

"doesn't this charater under insane stress going through extremely traumatic events realize how inconvenient their irrational emotional reactions are to the people around them?" well, see, you're not gonna believe this, but the thing is,

unironically how i felt during the time i took a final exam so sleep deprived i kept drifting off every few seconds and had to dig my nails into my arms to stay alert enough to finish it, also every blowout showdown emotional trainwreck argument with my mom

a wonderful ao3 author note

mentally pss pss pss-ing at all the phenomenal drarry artists on here like they're easily startled stray cats with dron snippets bc i KNOW they can be converted with minimal effort and i Want More Content

comedic snippets from the freshly posted ch2 of inspiral!!

here's the summarizing line:

snape my absolute king shines bright this chap:

shirazi pigeons

Hermione and her white friends

mkay dron nation, i present to you: the fic that stemmed entirely from the offhand thought "Ron would have more emotional intelligence than this" while reading a random mention of the sectumsempra scene™ and then summarily took over my entire life.

inspiral

[in which Sirius lives, Harry chills out (relatively), and Ron is forced (by absolutely no one) to pick up the Malfoy-stalking slack.

. . .

Ron was growing weary of Harry and Malfoy circling each other like a pair of feral street cats gearing up for a fight. It reminded him of Mr. Mittens, the raggedy cat Ginny had smuggled home once, and his . . . friend. He sometimes worried that this all might end up like that, what with Harry throwing around wild accusations and Malfoy sneering cryptic shite at them in response. It was ridiculous, but Ron suspected whatever Mr. Mittens had going on back then wasn’t very rational either, and they’d still ended up with a cat, a corpse, and a bloody living room floor.

. . .

Ron paused with his hand reaching for the bathroom door, debating turning back-- back to dinner and his friends and pretending he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

it's. long. this thing. so weekly updates, with ch1 up now💞

He drew in a breath before easing it open. The sound of sobbing -- choking, heaving, desperate -- was no longer muffled by the heavy wood. A high, whiny voice crooned empty platitudes like backing vocals for the world’s most depressing song, and it was with a creeping horror that Ron realized Myrtle wasn’t the one crying.

. . .]

onto the ch1 highlight reel!!

now posted!!

Hiii, just dropping by to say I read your Dron snippet and I'm soo looking forward to it, I feel like I already read all their good fics haha!

holy shit my dude this is so sweet 🥹🥹🥹

i can't describe to you the way i shrieked when i saw this, TYSMM for liking my writing AND for being my first ever ask!!!

the dron fic drought (bar dronarry, smut, or both bc ppl rlly like their pwp) is what inspired (read: held me hostage and forced) me to start writing fr 😔 bc i see so much potential for their characters other than their (admittedly very present) sexual chemistry. much philosophical discussions to be had when u're on opposite sides of the (wizarding) ideological spectrum (dw, draco comes fully around, he's actually a sweetheart deep deep deep deep down)

and also, Reveal Thyself anon, don't be shy!! let's be best friends!!! let's braid e/o's hair!!! i don't acc have any dron shipper friends atm, i've been needing to convert all my irl besties by force thru my nonstop infodumping lmao

i was planning on waiting til i've written more chaps to post on ao3, but if you'd prefer me to start releasing what i have rn, totally can do 👍✨

idk what this is

current wip chapter has got me a lil mentally ill ngl
