Behold, Fleur!4nemo's reluctant welcome LMAO

- of course it'd be different in the fanfic itself but I envisioned this hilariously playing out lololo

- also since the color red is taken (kazuha), i chose to assign purple for heizou _(:з)∠)_

- part of this process was laughing over what titles to use as an introduction, like venti's 'omg he's your roommate' SAJDHASJ- aether has the most normal one, xiao does have a problem with trying to be friendly and that will show up in future stuff when he attempts to be nice but shucking fAILS- sorry mc-

- need i talk about kazuha's "mr im stealing the mc"?? we all know he's steps ahead of the three, but who knows, when heizou shows up things might change :)))

thinking about Percy/Dennis still (yes i know I'm sorry i promise i do have other thoughts lol)

specifically about Molly wanting them to break up though

because i was thinking about that concept i used to think about alot where Molly just thinks she knows Percy so so well but in reality doesn't know him really at all

so she tries to get them to break up because she hasn't learned her lesson about you know respecting your children's romantic choices.

also fits well with my favorite concept of Percy being the last one of the siblings to get married (That like actually does I mean because Charlie typically doesn't in my head)

So in Molly's eyes Dennis is not only too young for him but also not someone she sees as like a "permanent" partner because of it

Also i made a picrew <3

"DID I OVERWORK YOU? YOU got any complaints?" Fleur asked, smiling cheekily at them. They had been doing Christmas decorations the whole day. It hadn't been easy. She had been fussy over the whole thing, constantly changing the placements and checking the details. "Will a delicious hot cocoa with marshmallows be enough to compensate for the stress?"

Ever since their split, life had dealt him a hard hand. Sure, the pair weren't necessarily dating, but he had missed Fleur desperately. She hd found out about the arrangement; the only reason for him being in her life was to steal from her family. It didn't mean anything when he intially agreed to it. Eric found himself falling in love with her. But it was too late for him to get away from him. He had gotten lucky when she agreed to meet with him once again. All he hoped is that he didn't ruin her holiday. ❝ Hey... ❞ Unsure of how to even begin the conversation. ❝ All is well? ❞ He'd braced himself for any response he could think of. // a closed starter for @decadentias

I just realised Something about a portion of fandom I don't really engage with all that much. Because I don't want to, btw.

In all other shows, movies, books, etc, every single bad person is at least somewhat 'ugly' according to the narrative. The 'problematic' characters rarely get acknowledged because there are so many good looking characters who are good themselves (I remember Annabelle from the first book of Percy Jackson, I think, and there were more ofc).

However, Rowling's main idea about appearances was that it was an illusion. Every single good looking character is either reprehensible or ends up dying (Cedric) in the same book they were introduced*. The story wants to be relatable to how every teen feels, and no matter what, we all have insecurities.

However, they're just teens, and on top of that, at least one or more of our main teens have done something terrible or badwrong (Hermione with skeeter and Marietta). So, they aren't exceptionally beautiful and neither are they exceptionally good. Even the side characters who are popular come across as jerks to some of their family members, making their sibling cry.

This creates a problem for the people who don't have a sense of self yet, or are so scarred they can only look at life through black & white lenses.

The Halo effect playing greatly onto the above, we're presented with another set of teens, two of whom are described as extremely sought after by the opposite sex, one of whom is popular, and the final one who has endeared himself by showing ugly Snivellus his place (via map and the Verbal Sparring). They all, by the end of this introduction, understand that Snivellus is badwrong and doesn't deserve anything good.

'It's clear he's the villain, and has been since forever, see, these people agree with me and they're the Protagonist's parents.' Whether this is believed because of the Halo effect or taking Harry's perspective to mean a God pov, I can't tell. The point being, they are even more convinced.

They want an escape from how difficult it is to sort out their feeling about these people the author keeps throwing at their face so why not attach to the characters who are dead or strongly attached to the protagonist (so they can never be badwrong in later books). A safety blanket of sorts, if you will. And in doing so, they completely ignore the nuances of the scenes presented in the last book. Because they are attached, they'd rather call badwrong Snivellus' love impure than explore what the montage of all his memories implied. That beauty is skin deep.

The thing about people who like such black and white scenarios and people is: they will always fall prey to the Halo Effect. And it's extremely painful to be disillusioned about your favourites. So they may never get disillusioned.

All this to say, sometimes I wonder why that part of the fandom is like 'that'. And it's just that this is the safety net in this series, or this is just how vanilla people outside of fandom coming in can take.

And that's fine (coz I'm crazy for the marauders era as well, just with a slightly wider taste pallet).

TL Dr: The antis are attracted to wholesome ships and since Rowling made it so difficult to find such ships until much later where you are emotionally connected with each character, the antis attached to a bunch of (mostly) dead people who, by association to the Hero of the story, being pretty, popular, and clear on their behaviour with the badwrong confusing character, are all good. They were desperately looking for the safety net in the books and found some. Also, since antis are the way they are, maybe they believe the fictional character being dead means people would not criticise their wholesome ship? Idk.

A/N:

*The only properly handsome man - Bill - barely gets mentioned, marries a beautiful woman, and imo the only reason he doesn't die is because he didn't revel in his handsomeness or popularity (him liking Snape in school is so cute + that disqualifies him from being popular with the antis since he likes the badwrong character). Also, he was literally scarred on his once handsome face to show that his wife actually loved him and didn't just choose him to have beautiful babies. Her being a veela and owning her Frenchness were already flaws (in the narrative's opinion) so all she needed was a scarred husband. Now, they both don't have to die 🤣.

Titfucking 5F: Caught spying on them in the library, Fleur invites one Daphne Greengrass to have her own taste of her beloved Mercutio.

Titfucking 5F

This was far from the first time something like this happened to Mercutio. It was however, the first time anyone other that the Patil twins did this to him.

Mercutio really should have known better than to believe that Fleur wanted to meet up for anything else than this. But once she was naked, those complaints were thrown out the window.

Of course, nobody wants to get caught. Especially in a library. Especially not in its restricted section.

Of course, this was a very pleasant way to get caught.

"Zere~ izzn't zat better?~" Fleur cooed to the Slytherin girl that had caught them going at itvlike rabbits. The veela girls hands were pumping Daphne Greengrass' breasts about Mercutio's very impressive cock. Cutting off the Slytherin girl's response, by kissing her, just as Mercutio showered both girls in his cum.

Mental health law is arguably intrinsically ‘anti-therapeutic’. It assumes that deprivation of liberty and violence are legitimate means of ensuring that people deemed dangerous and disordered due to ‘mental illness’ receive ‘needed treatment’. Yet little may be offered in the way of real help and support and the force applied is a one-way street: the State cannot be ordered to provide the spectrum of social supports a person may seek.

Not that I didn´t like The Royal Three´s performance, but Meena and Neon Shadow´s were much better… just saying

Did they have something like AEG in ii? Or were they really diy-ing it? I know they had bbc (and rize lol) as sponsors but promotion and logistics wise?

Dan's instagram lives my beloved ❤️

during his 1st IG live on September 4th, he said: "when me and Phil did tatinof and introverts we booked the tour ourselves. which was like, fun and stressful"

and i looked at my moscow ticket, it was only a local promoter. also irl merch was more involved, Martyn and dnp's manager Marianne were travelling with them. idk if Dan's manager is with him all the time now, Martyn isn't for sure.

Ginevra made something really, really cool. A time machine. Do you have any idea how long I lived not knowing this comes with the Ambitions pack??

What actually happened:

Molen NM de Zijpe, village of Sint Maartensvlotbrug, The Netherlands. by Alex de Haas

"ARE YOU REALLY NOT GOING to fight for me? For us?" Fleur knew it was her fault for insisting on obeying her parents. That didn't mean she wanted them to give up. It was almost her wedding day. She thought she could move on from them and forget them, but she couldn't. It was easier said than done. She had to see them for the last time.

summertime. (ch5)

[read full fic here]

Easily, Sarah sits back on her haunches before leaning over to hover above him. His face is pressed deep into the too-soft pillow, which explains the snoring. The line of his neck is strong and dark with trimmed hair, which gets bushier closer to his chin. He keeps it trimmed with a short plain-edged steel knife that glints when held under the kitchenette lights. Sarah knows this knife because he used it to shear her hair last week at her request. The memory of his hands, the pad of his thumb and the razor edge of the knife over her scalp send a frisson of satisfaction down Sarah’s spine. She knows she trusts this man. She knows he trusts himself with her, too. She leans down and presses an open-mouthed kiss under his jaw.

“James,” she whispers into his ear.

The fact that he stays happily asleep is somehow funnier than she ever thought it would be. Hell, she thinks he’s drooling. Good. God knows he deserves a lie-in.

And he did put away enough vodka to tranquilize a small elephant.

give your honest opinion on Fleur Everhart

Send me the name of a character and my muse will give their opinion on them

"Overrated." She looks immediately almost-remorseful and gives a little huff.

"Well. Alright, maybe that's a little harsh. But there is truth in it. I mean -- fine, she wears jeans. But so does Mia Winters and we don't herald her as a fine example of a 'Modern Woman.' I think it's a grand shame that she didn't inherit more of her father's charisma or any of his good taste. I know this is all making me sound quite callous -- I prefer the term pragmatic. The truth is that I feel for her, really, I do. She strikes me as lost, and she's definitely in over her head. I know how that feels better than anyone. What matters is how well she will adapt, and that is yet to be seen so until then, I will do my best to withhold further judgement... But I don't think she will last here. She doesn't strike me as the type of person that will take kindly to the village and how we do things here."

Facefucking 1B: Luna heard a rumor that they were putting actual Minotaurs in the maze, and so goes to find out if it is true. It is…not that she’ll get the chance to tell anyone about it by the time they’re done with her.

Facefucking 1B

Everyone in the Ravenclaw dorm knew that Luna was a monster fucker. And a shameless one at that. There really wasn't an anthropomorphic creature alive, that Luna hadn't or wouldn't fuck.

So when the rumor went around that there would be Minotaurs in the hedge maze for the Third Task, well Luna had to find out for herself.

Well she certainly found out that there were indeed Minotaurs in the hedge maze. And she was in absolute heaven. Her arms were pinned above her head, and the huge monstrous creature using Luna's mouth as an onahole. And she was skilled enough to take the creature's full length.

...which was right around the time that Fleur discovered the scene. The Third Task having started, and Luna had been missing for weeks.
