Remain Nameless By HeyJude19 Is Free To Read On Ao3, Keep Fandom Free. 🫐☕️

will literally never get over this franchise ִֶָ☾.

⋆˙⟡ made by me!

Top Tier fanfic. It's so fucking good and the fact that this art has the shirt!! Yes!!! <3

"I thought we'd be doing a lot more bending...and stretching." Malfoy's brows went up. "You're certainly ready for action." Teach Me How To Forget by the amazing @scullymurphy Where Hermione's conscious af about her first-day-of-class outfit as if Draco's literally not checking out her bum.

If you haven't read this fic, you're missing tf out. What's better than hunky teacher Draco and student Hermione? Yeah, I'll wait.

Also I've no clue what wand holsters look like but boy am I 100% certain I want to be one. And pouty Hermione is my new fave thing to draw besides Draco's veiny arms/hands ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can love Dramione AND Romione. The universe will not implode, I promise. That's the fun of fiction. (Also, how could you not love it when there's adorable fanart like this??)

A new version of this Fantasy Library print!

Just about to sell out of the original run so I took the opportunity to amend a couple of things and add a bit more colour, I’ll be printing this with a few different background colours to choose from.

The book titles read:

1. A Massive, Brilliant Final Instalment of a Series You Didn’t Think Would Ever Be Concluded

2. Everyone You Recommend This To Will Love It As Much As You

3. A Clear & Concise Summary Of All Human History

4. A Novel You Once Loved But Have Since Forgotten

5. Still As Good As When You Read It As a Teenager (If Not Better)

6. A Perfect Short Story

7. A New, Canonical Entry In Your Favourite Series, Fixing The Problems In The Original Ending

8. A Brief Epilogue Telling You What Happened When Your Favourite Characters Grew Up

9. The Book You’ll Write If You Ever Have Time

This new version will be up on my shop by the middle of December 2022, in the meantime there are a few of the old one left and lots of other book and ttrpg themed prints!

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.
