@InspectorCaracal ...........fuck you're right

*FURIOUSLY WRITES NOTES*

(like for real though, for some reason i struggle to categorize like. what types of facial shape bits people have sometimes. so it helps)

@InspectorCaracal he is! but it was a bit frustrating when i was trying to work from daniel radcliffe's face and stepped back and went "......the fuck did you do, drawing brain"

so next time uhhh i'll just look up renner in suits for efficiency? 😂

as long as i'm at this level of gratuitous self-promo i may as well post these links and then flop headfirst into bed

https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1013278/PlaidButterfly is the ff.n, https://archiveofourown.org/users/Harpalyce/pseuds/Harpalyce is the ao3

masquerade is my pet fic, more of it is on ff.n than ao3 because i just kinda cry when i try to port it over out of being mad i can't write more of it but ANYWAY

I WON'T CLAIM THAT IT'S GOOD FANFIC, JUST THAT IT'S... THERE?

and here we go, here's the fanfic's 'cover'

i know once i've done a cover for a fic i'm just like 'whelp that's it, i'm writing it now, i'm doomed, bye everyone, the plot bunny has me'

BIG CW for suicide - empty noose is shown.

very little cw for an obnoxious shade of green i thought was a good idea at the time and my inability to draw short-haired scruffy older auror harry potter without him looking like Jeremy Renner for some got dam reason

HERE, HERE'S THE PICTURE I WENT DIVING IN MY ARCHIVES FOR

voldemort and all his got dam kids that end up in this fic

he doesn't raise any of 'em at all, they essentially existed as 'spare parts'

ok he tried with fr. makary a bit but the lad promptly grew up and rebelled hard in the exact opposite direction and WILL, DANGEROUSLY, IMMEDIATELY, invite you in for tea or a cup of hot cocoa and show you genuine christian charity and love (THAT BOY AIN'T RIGHT - voldie probably)

cw for eye contact

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
