Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

also here's Ginny, Ron and Hermione

ginny could use another latte (full fat milk please, quidditch practice is getting intense for the holyhead harpies)

ron could use either some beard oil or a shave before he blazes past Fixer-Upper's Chip Gaines into Full Lumberjack

hermione could use a shoulder massage and an eyeglass cleaning wipe if you've got one handy

anyway to sell you on this fic

here is an illustration for an eventual later chapter where, after visiting Fr. Makary, aka Makary Riddle, one of Voldemort's kids who rebelled against his dad so hard he ended up a man of the cloth, Auror Harry Potter stops to have a cigarette and a chat in the church gardens with the snake that lives there, Shine-Scale, Hunter Of Voles, Best Frog-Grabber, Protector Of Church Man Who Gives Mice.

but now i have, and basically that means i've run into the "auror harry potter" tag screaming NO! NO THERE IS NO DRARRY HERE! YOU WILL GET YOUR MAGIC DETECTIVE WORK AND YOU WILL LIKE IT! GOOD DAY SIR! I SAID! GOOD! DAY!

ALSO I HOPE YOU LIKE OCS THAT ARE ALL VOLDEMORT'S NEGLECTED KIDS BECAUSE OH BOY I HAVE SO MANY OF THEM.

i expect this to go over like a molotov cocktail

do you know that all this time i've been wondering why this fic wasn't getting any comments on ao3

was because

i had not actually posted it on ao3.

good news: did a write

bad news: did a write so hard, nearly two hours overdue for pain meds,

oh come on there is no way that i've only ended up writing 2400 words, it seems SO MUCH LONGER god

ok ok ok i guess 5 pages is about fair

aaaaaaaa actually doing a write thank fuck

all aboard the badly written harry potter angst train toot toot

this is the first time my writing brain has appeared since about end of january and i sure am fuck leaping on that chance

so if you've never heard it before, i would urge you to take a moment and listen to the Hammond Song by the Roches

it's folk-ish but there's something... oddly beautifully transcendent about it

also while i'm sad my feet got ouchy and scuffed, at least i have cream to use up to put on them

so pro life tip: put hand cream you don't like on your feet, then put some socks on so it soaks in

but also the burt's bees orange blossom and pistachio is a severe disappointment. apparently "orange blossom and pistachio" to their scent team means "bad fakey orange candy scent, not the good stuff, but like the orange fruit flavored tootsie rolls that are bullshit"

honestly foley work makes the best trivia, especially for star wars

ben burtt does not get as much recognition as he should for tying it all together to really make star wars - forgive me for this overdone word choice though i would argue it actually applies here - truly iconic

and you can learn trivia like jabba the hutt's slurping is actually ben burtt fondling some mac and cheese! who doesn't love such trivia?!

@genderlessmenace666@queer.party I KNOW RIGHT? MOVIE IS NOW EVEN MORE DELIGHTFUL https://www.cinemablend.com/new/How-Cat-Named-Pork-Chop-Helped-Star-Wars-Force-Awakens-Nail-An-Intense-Scene-119017.html

the cat being named porkchop is really just the cherry on top of the sundae

@genderlessmenace666@queer.party incredibly valid, because i for one think that enjoyment of the recent star wars movies is increased by a thousandfold once you know that the sound effect rumble of kylo ren using the force is actually a cat named Porkchop purring (and then mushed about on a computer)

@PrinceOfTheIronFist@mastodon.social probably, but i feel like way too many people on DA make a game of "well it's not a common fetish, and all bits are covered, so i don't have to disclose that this is fetish art at all"

one of the reasons i stopped posting there was the integral DA experience of getting a notification of a fav and realizing that your normal, nonsexualized drawing was now in somebody's very specific wank bank folder, and being very uncomfortable with it lol

man there's a flap in the comments over on a slate article about whether or not all clear heels are "stripper heels"

and like

momentarily putting aside the misogyny and disdain for sex workers and performers there

IF YOU THINK THESE SHOES ARE 'STRIPPER HEELS' YOU'VE ONLY SEEN SOME REAL BORING-ASS STRIPPERS.

anyway that's enough glancing at the news, if i keep this up i will remember all the politicians going "oh yes well trump did a very bad thing, and it was bad, but we can now all move on past it without any consequences given to him" and explosively hulk out in rage

christ, trump actually is taking a position i agree with

even a broken clock is right twice a day i suppose

he's still an absolutely abominable human being but i hope this makes another sliver of his loonies decide they can't remain in the trump cult now that he's flip-flopped to vaccines good actually

@baronvonjace that makes total sense! i admit i'm a bit of a perfume fiend but i've been trying to be a bit more mindful due to other people's sensitivities when i'm out and about. (but like... smell-goods... is nice................)

i think the only other tip is maybe look at getting some baby washcloths if you feel like your face is still getting scratchy/irritated - i love mine, they're much finer and softer than regular ones, but i have a very easily set off face LOL
