has anyone ever written the crack fic where dumbledore does hire voldemort as dada professor and then voldemort ends up being so burdened by the insane course load (and terrible pay) that he ends up postponing his world domination plans a few years over and over and over and over until they’re only a fleeting thought he sometimes reminisces on with the classic when i was your age and it’s always met with sure grandpa let’s get you back to bed

soon.

make my day by reblogging and not reposting!

black brothers angst whoo

it's summer and i'm once again thinking about what it means to be siblings. where one ends and the other starts, where the memories blur together and you're not quite sure which of you did what because there's a certain point in your childhood where your siblings are extensions of your own body, of your own mind. maybe it lasts. maybe it doesn't.

but it happened, nonetheless. we were there.

and how confusing it is, to be home but alone. when everything's silent and the spaces they used to fill are empty and the words seem to die in your mouth, melting on your tongue with the distinctive taste of loneliness - how are you lonely, when you were born at someone's side?

it's not going to be the same, ever again.

and so. how hurtful, for regulus, to watch him walk away. watch him live somewhere else, eat at another table and sleep in an unfamiliar bed, somewhere he's never touched. somewhere they've never existed together.

(how do other people go through life as just one? I've been two and then everyone told me i should be one but how do you do that? how do you move past your sibling? i'm two, still. i don't know how to be anything else.)

how awful. how awful to know that he's gone. how terrible, to be going through your day only to stop, suddenly too aware of the silence.

suddenly aware, i'm the only one home.

(i still write you letters, i still pack them away neatly. i still think you'll come home for christmas. because how could you not? i was born knowing you. how am i supposed to understand your absence? i still wake up with things to tell you.)

it's summer and there's fresh fruit and no one to eat it with. sirius used to count every piece to share them fairly. used to think one, two, three, four, five, six so it's three each.

count every last slice with too sticky fingers and then share it. share because you've never known a world where fruit was eaten all by yourself.

it's summer and you've never known a world where your brother isn't by your side.

(it's summer and everyone has their own portion except. it's too much, it's far too much for just me. i've never been just one person before. it hurts.)

i did my time

did anyone else think a commercial had started at the beginning of Interview With the Vampire?

What is your Hogwarts house?

When I was a Child, in the times before JKR started a hate train and promoted genocide on trans people, in those times I would answer that I was a Hufflepuff.

Nowadays I prefer to boycot the series and donate/do something nice to the trans community every time someone mentions HP/JKR in my presence.

Somehow I continue to exist?

the knife that sirius gave harry melted. most of the two-way mirror shattered. the firebolt fell a thousand feet. i'm like half surprised pigwidgeon didn't get snuffed out by a giant arsecheek or something

Back on that MWII Ranked Grind 🫡

Harry potter is super gay 🌈

what happened w the staff wrt “scortched earth”

ok so staff has a new page @/humans where they've got a post up listing several of the current moderators for the site, some of whom linked their own tumblr blogs. user @partyjockers made an original post like "so the new staff lineup explains why mods aren't blocking actual terfs huh" & then reblogged their own post with screenshots for evidence, one of the @/humans intro post, and one of the blog of one of those mods, "jas," @/jezzuminah. all publicly visible posts.

jas is a diehard hp fan, but people paid close attention to her artwork (her art tag is linked in a pinned post at the top of her blog). she's done a lot of dramione fanart, a lot of attack on titan fanart, and ship fanart of aged up preschoolers from spy x family. of note, she also put in her header, "opinions are my own," which is typical for ppl maintaining private social media accts linked to their real professional lives, as a way to ask for or demand a free pass to be inflammatory in some way w/o facing prof'nl. repercussions.

most of the commentary I saw at that point on @partyjockers's post was like, "lol that figures," bc it's not like any of that is especially shocking to see on tumblr; it's dime a dozen in fandom circles, but funny to confirm that "yeah the employees #on here are like that too, ugh, smh. 🙄"

within ONE DAY, staff had no only entirely shut down & seemingly permabanned @partyjockers, AND copyright striked the original screenshots so they get blanked out to error pictures if you try to repost them, they also did something they've never done before + which past staff have indicated was not doable within the tumblr framework: they scrubbed every trace of the post from the site. original post, gone. THOUSANDS of reblogs, all gone. even notifications from people interacting with reblogs of the post, wiped from the activity page. like beyond twitter, where if you delete a tweet, you can still see people's responses from THEIR pages, and you can still see QRTs even if you can't see what's been retweeted... every interaction w that post was gone. @partyjockers, gone. jas just toggled off the "view top posts" feature, locked her twitter & instagram, and deleted one piece of dramione fanart that people began reblogging after that overkill response.

and NOW the scrutiny is higher than ever before, because it's all fun & games and "my opinions are my own" until one person hurts your feelings (at WORK) by pointing & saying, "harry potter fan!" ...and, vitally, they also proved @partyjockers right. they've always been able to erase the entire footprint of violent fascists, people spreading explicit hate speech, literal nazis, revenge porn distributors, doxxers, bigots who run active harassment campaigns (incl some terfs!), ppl who share EXPLICIT csa materials, gore, etc.— even pages like @communismkills just got shadowbanned, and that was after a LONG TIME being a leaking sphincter on this site.

and tumblr staff have thus far ONLY ever unleashed this big gun ONCE in the whole history of the site, to my knowledge, as a tool to take down a page that wasn't even, like, a "whistleblower" for anything that serious, but who JUST SAID, "y'all don't ban terfs (true!) & y'all hire harry potter fans (also true!)," which apparently this new staff took sooooo personally & seriously & disparagingly (lol) that they nuked a random person's page from orbit over the "insult."

and we're currently on day 2, so I'm sure more will eventually unfold, but yeah, this scorched earth tactic is genuinely batshit hostility out of nowhere, over not even mild criticism but just a literal factual observation.

After about a month and a half of gradually making these plushies while sub-blogging the progress, they are finally finished 😭💓

In Japan, it is now trendy to make plush toys of your favourite anime character idols, so I tried my hand at it! The shoes are ready-made from a toy store, but everything else is handmade! There are lots of mistakes, such as a wrinkle in the left cheek of the Sebastian plushie and a frayed collar on the shirt, but I'm relieved that I managed to finish it 🥲

I also made my MC Sakurako plushie!

The space where I display my HL and HP collections is getting very lively…

The making of the plush toys was summarised in this sub-blog post!
