Performative feminism is a most annoying aspect of our times.
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)_/¯
This artwork is just STUNNING.
Lovers of Elfhame by Frostbite Studios
Her heart stilled as she thought of him.
The shine in his chestnut eyes as he laughed at something she said.
Running a hand through his hair as he tried to think of the right words to say.
He was frozen in her memory, forever a twenty-something man with a smile that stopped her in her tracks, and always had.
She wondered if he still thought of her.
If it made him ache to imagine her still singing along to that song.
If it made him feel just as sad to know that memories of each other will fade as they both get older; that jokes shared in the back of a car, late night text chats, and whispered secrets would soon become distant fever dreams of a life that could be.
This is why it is the ultimate Enemies-to-Lovers slow-burn.
No because pride and prejudice isn't "I changed myself for you so you would love me back." It's "your blatant rejection and disdain for me made me realize things about myself no one had ever been bold enough to tell me so I sat down and evaluated all my behavior patterns and why they came about and came to the realization myself that I had to work on myself. Also I don't expect you to love me now that I'm a work in progress, so I'm just going to do nice things for you because I don't like seeing you hurt." No wonder P&P fans refuse to settle.
Read banned books. I cannot stress this enough.

What people think why i became a bookbinder: Oh she wants to explore her artistic horizon with those pretty leather bound books of hers. She even gives them out as gifts to her friends. It most likely helps her with anxiety or maybe she just wanted a more special costume made notebook.
Why I actually became a bookbinder: I just illegally downloaded and printed out several of my favourite fanfics and books and started binding them into books cuz I love reading them but looking at screens for too long gives me headaches.
This story did make me cry with laughter. Mostly because I remember going to Little League games and this is scarily accurate.
The Malfoy-Potter quidditch rivalry continues.
(Thank you emilyprocraftinates for commissioning me. Inspired by ‘The League’ by I’m All Teeth.)
the elusive 7 act Structure
I'm writing a character who thinks her partner is cheating. I'm trying to come up with the list of reasons one would think their partner is cheating.
The usual suspects outside of straight up seeing them out with another person or messages or full-on evidence, kind of eludes me.
Some people I know say their partners acted completely differently (colder, crueler, etc.). Some say they were extra nice. I understand it might be different across the board, but I just want some real-world ideas behind this.
I apologize if this upsets anyone, but how did you/your friend/family, etc. KNOW? What tipped you/them off?
