this is godric's hollow by @moonyship 1/?, 5.4k Harry has only ever wanted to kill dragons. In Godric's Hollow, its basically a right of passage. A way to prove yourself. And as soon to be Chief, he desperately needs to prove himself before the dragons destroy everything he loves. The only issue is that he can't bring himself to do it.
we go where no one goes by @thundersarts 1?, 3.2k They treat Regulus as a ghost story. Something to share around a fireplace to scare kids, to make them not hate dragons because they're good as long as you are good. Regulus isn't a person to them. He's a curse. A sacrifice. Not to Sirius, though. Never to Sirius. After years of Regulus Black being missing, James goes out alone on a mission far from Berk. What he doesn't account for is to encounter the very same ghost that has been haunting his best friend's life.
postmarked by @kelpforestfire 1/?, 2.2k If the movie Klaus (2019) was made with the marauders, featuring a spoiled rich kid Sirius, disillusioned broke former idealist teacher Remus, snarky Peter, and love torn James. A Santa Klaus origin story.
Top 10 favourite hp characters???
1. auntie muriel [she's firing out banger after banger from the second she arrives on the page and she sustains that level until the moment the wedding ends - fantastic energy, i love to see it]
2. that auld fella at the quidditch world cup who refuses to wear trousers [live your truth, king]
3. dawlish [both voldemort and dumbledore take the time to point out that he's completely incompetent and then the conclusion of his character arc is him getting fucking wrecked by an old lady]
4. mrs cole [day-drinking is a proud tradition and i'm delighted she honoured it - harry being genuinely impressed by how much she can put away is one of the funniest things he ever does]
5. the portrait in st mungo's which claims ron has spattergroit and which deserves to be thanked for clearly inspiring his cover-story in deathly hallows
6. gladys gudgeon, who doesn't abandon her devotion to lockhart, even after his brain injury
7. madam rosmerta [she manages to sustain her position as the hottest woman in hogsmeade over a period of at least twenty years - unmatched aura]
8. the employee at the owl office who received a postal order form from a cat and thought "legit"
9. piers polkiss [yer man finessed multiple day-trips out of the dursleys, what a #girlboss]
10. hagrid's dad [he walked so that the monster-fucking girlies on tumblr could run, and don't you forget it]
pros: saturday night live will be hysterical
cons: everything else
I love having friends all over the world. I wouldn't change them for anything.
But hell what I would give up now to just be able to walk to their door and knock for a quick chat.
To have a late night walk because neither of us can sleep.
To go for a coffee and be on our phone the whole day because we have all the time in the world.
To stumble upon them on my way to work because they live in the same area.
To just wave at them across the street and continue walking because I know we will see each other soon.
To be able to hug them instead of video calls, texts and voice notes.
Just to have them close.
i don't want to see AI art and i don't want to read AI stories. you know what i do want? typos. you using the wrong word because it sounds just like the right one. plot holes. shaky lines. pencil sketch marks you forgot to erase. a scribble in the corner you didn't crop out. you know why i want them? because they're yours. your typos, your scribbles, your plot holes, your shaky lines. you know why i want them to be yours? because i'm in love with you. i'm holding your hand right now and our pinkies are wrapped around each another. you're pointing out all the ways you're flawed and i'm kissing your forehead anyway
the black sisters

Someone: stay strong!! it will get better. Happiness is just around the corner! im always here if you want to talk
me:ok....that sounds fake but ok
Dear Mr. Black by @languagelessonswolfstar ❄️🌟
This fic got me through Christmas, New Years, and January 20. It was the most beautiful, lovely, and cozy Christmas story. It felt like a warm blanket. The bind is fully inspired by Sirius's cookbook. This is my very first time making a unconventional-sized bind and it took too much brain power to figure it out because me dummy 😭 But I'm so happy with how it turned out. This might be one of my most favorite typesets I've done to date, so this is kind of a typeset appreciate post?
Portrait of the magnificent Chef Sirius Black was done by the most talented @blackthornwine 🥹🥹
The bind is now in its new home at @moonysbookshelves who adores this story as much as I do. Thank you for all the yaps dude 🫶🏻
When the world is basically on fire right now, you can find a perfect escape in Dear Mr. Black. It can be read for free on AO3. Enjoy the meal! 🍽️
