a ranking of crowley hair

1. eden, 4004 bc. it’s okay. he’s getting the hang of hair. not entirely sure what he wants to do with it yet. fun curls, kinda snakey. not bad, necessarily, but not quite there yet. 7/10

2. mesopotamia, 3004 bc. better! just look at those braids! still waiting for people to invent mirrors, i guess, or maybe just putting the braids wherever he feels like it when he’s bored. either way, it’s a good gay look. 9/10

3. golgotha, 22 ad. again, not much has changed. no more visible braids, but the hood! he’s adding to the drama! you really can’t go wrong with hood and long hair drama. 8/10

4. rome, 41 ad. NOW things are getting shaken up. gay and impulsively cut all his hair off. but it’s not good! please stop. extra points for the fun little crown. 2/10

5. the kingdom of wessex, 537 ad. no visible hair. 1/10 for helmet

6. the globe theatre, 1601. the hair? not bad. flowy. has good volume, good waves. the beard? noooooo. 4/10

7. paris, 1793. STOP. just STOP. mr crowley sir go back to your room and redo your hair this minute. 0/10

8. st. james’s park, 1862. he gets points for the top hat. and those sunglasses? iconic. but he gets minus so many points for the sideburns. 3/10

9. london, 1941. good hat, though it covers his hair, making it hard to judge. likely it’s just short and slicked back. not bad, but boring. 5/10

10. soho, 1967. i will admit, the more i look at it, the more this one looks kinda cute in a lesbian way. or maybe it’s the pathos of “you go too fast for me” he has to deal with that’s getting to me. whatever the case, 1967 crowley hair is doing okay. 7/10

11. demon disco dancing, 1970s. ahhhhhh. someone please make him shave. extra pity point for his dancing. 2/10

12. london, 2007. good, good, much improved. cute and ready to party. 9/10

13. nanny, 2012. he’s obviously putting in some real effort here. he knows what he thinks nannies should look like and he’s going hard for it. unfortunately what he thinks is a good nanny look is not entirely flattering on him, but he’s trying. 6/10 for effort

14. not nanny, 2012. okay now THIS. THIS is the pinnacle of crowley hair. just LOOK at that little half bun barely constrained by the hair tie. it’s cute! it’s fun! it’s flirty! peak hairstyle for trying to tempt your boyfriend into running his fingers through to pull it out of its confines.100/10

15. present day. well, he looks like david tennant. i mean he is david tennant, and this is david tennant’s actual hair, but there’s just something about this sort of sticky uppy hairstyle that is inextricable from doctor who for me. still, obviously it isn’t a bad look for him. 8/10

16. this one’s just sad and gay. 10/10 for somebody to love

I think you lot are severely underestimating the power of "God I love him but he's so stupid sometimes" when it comes to jaymelvik. Vik and Mel love Jayce for his brilliance and stupidity. You cannot tell me that Mel didn't care about Viktor either. Because also. That's part of Mel's character. She may use people, but she always cares about them. She might use you but she won't let you sink.

And she did fall in love with Jayce. I don't think she was expecting to. But the ways in which she did likely scared her for a moment before accepting. She couldn't accept Jayce without Viktor either because of how close they are as friends. Literal package deal. It's also obviously those two would lead to romance because. Look at them, c'mon now. And she already accepted that. Honestly think if all that didn't happen, she would have started inviting Viktor to go places with them. He'd be included in dinners. And it would have started as business meetings but quickly turned to just hanging out. Mel and Viktor would have loved each other too. Because all three of them scheme. None of them would have wanted any others to be kept at arms length from the other for similar and different reasons. They wouldn't have picked one over the other, they'd just pick all three of themselves. It would be difficult at times, cause all couples butt heads. But again, none would want any others to feel like they'd be less important, because all of them have had to deal with that. For these three it's literally just natural. It doesn't work for other characters...because they are other characters..? Idk I just think it's obvious they'd all tie into each other well. Bothers me that Mel gets painted as only manipulative black woman who never really loved Jayce, has no cares for anyone but herself, while jayvik is like some holy sacred thing with no issues.

[ID: A full body digital drawing of Roman Sanders falling from the sky. He reaches out to the sun with one arm, his hand stretched out. Sun rays hit him from above and he looks up with a wide-eyed anguished expression. There are tears in his eyes. His wings, which are fastened to his arms, are falling apart, and loose feathers surround him. He wears his usual prince outfit. His sash is blowing with the wind, along with his hair. A golden crown has fallen from his head. On the background there are huge clouds, painted in golden, orange and brown tones. Warm yellow light comes from above. /End ID]

8th Year Recs (part 1)

Hello! I’m in the process of backing up my rec lists to Tumblr. I’m also in the process of updating as many links to AO3 as I can find, so it might take a while. Also, these lists are in the order I first recced them, but I had to start somewhere and 8th year it is! The first of many lists coming. :) Reparo by amalin (NC 17, 85K) Summary: Voldemort’s final defeat does not mean Harry Potter’s troubles are over; far from it. In the aftermath of war, he returns to a Hogwarts that is fractured and divided, but this is no break that can be fixed with a spell. New owls, fading scars, surprising alliances– and along the way, the hardest task of all, to live with it. Matters of Influence by anathema91 (NC-17, 19K) Summary: Draco should have taken his NEWTs over the summer with Pansy and Greg. Repeating 7th year with Potter fresh off his saved-the-world tour struck Malfoy as the height of stupidity more than once. McGonagall’s diabolical plan only made things worse. Or did it? A Time to Move On by sesheta_66(PG-13, 15,5K) Summary: With the war behind them, and wounds still raw, the students at Hogwarts try to work out what their futures might hold for them, and perhaps recapture a little of their lost youth along the way. Title: An Act of Simple Devotion by @blamebrampton​ (PG-13, 13,3K) Summary: It’s a age-old story. You fancy a boy and you think he fancies you. Sure there are problems – attacks on former Death Eaters, crazed tabloid journalists and your girlfriend – but you have a cunning plan. Now if he’d only explain the L. Ron Hubbard-like references … Title: Master Work by mahaliem (R, 35,1K) Summary: Harry’s eighth-year at Hogwarts is going about as well as all the others. Someone is out to get him, Aurors keep questioning him about the final battle and, worst of all, Draco is determined to repay his life debt to Harry. Title: Soaring by tealeaf523 (R, 9,1K) Summary: Draco Malfoy is reaching the halfway point of his eighth year of Hogwarts, post-war. Though things are back to normal, Draco feels haunted, suffocated, broken by his past. And he can’t be fixed. Can he? Title: Symbiosis by fireflavored (NC-17, 20,2K) Summary: sym·bi·o·sis (sĩm'bē-ō'sĩs) n. Biology A close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that may, but does not necessarily, benefit each member. Title: Said and Unsaid (or, The Value of Knowing When to Stop Talking) by bryoneybrynn (PG-13, 14,8K) Summary: When the Interrogator asked if he had anything to say on his own behalf, Draco shook his head, his lips pressed tight in a thin line. There was nothing to say that wouldn’t sound like an excuse. Title: The Altar by dragenphly (R, 16K) Summary: Draco grows up. With difficulty. It would probably be easier if it wasn’t for Harry fucking Potter. Title: Bridges bytigersilver (R, 8,6K) Summary: The collected correspondence concerning two ‘8th Year’ Hogwarts School students, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, from September through December, 1998. Title: The Lovers’ Circle by nicevenn (NC-17, 13,3K) Summary: Tired of feeling alone, Harry agrees to play a matchmaking game with the other eighth years. It’s just a game, after all. What harm could it do? Title: Lucky Break by naturegirlrocks (NC-17, 4,7K) Summary: The day before Halloween Harry crashes into Draco during a friendly quidditch match. Hidden secrets come to light. Title: An Old Habit by fireflavored (NC-17, 8,7K) Summary: The boys have changed a lot over the summer after the war, but Harry hasn’t gotten over the urge to spy on Malfoy. Title: To Give Everything by slashpervert & aveeno_baby (NC-17, 52,3K) Summary: Draco finds The Room, a torture chamber in the Hogwarts dungeons and longs for someone to submit to him. Harry finds he needs that and more. Warning(s): BDSM and Explicit M/M sex – oral, anal, rimming, felching, fisting, bondage, different kinds of spanking/whipping, D/s Title: A Deeper Understanding by bleedforyou1 (PG-13, 11K) Summary: By accident, Harry and Draco develop a bond that neither of them can break until they can learn to understand each other better. Through fortune cookies and riddle-solving, of course! Title: Aftertaste & Afterglow by  nursedarry (R, 4,1K) Summary: Draco asks for his wand back and gets more than he bargained for. Title: The Silent World Within You by @femmequixotic & @noeeon (NC-17, 96K) Summary: Harry only wanted Malfoy for one night, one birthday. It wasn’t meant to be anything more. Title: The Ties That Binds Us by faithwood (NC-17, 27,8K) Summary: An accident leaves Draco and Harry bound tightly together. Literally. Title: Marginal Notes by @blamebrampton (PG, 9,3K) Summary: When you’re 18, and nothing is as it was meant to be, sometimes it can be hard to let the right people know what you are thinking.

Reading AO3 fics on Kindle

I really love my Kindle, so I was wondering if I could do this. The answer is YES. 

If you have a kindle, go to ‘content and devices’ on you amazon account. Then choose the settings tab, and at the bottom there will be an email address for your kindle device. You also need to authorize an email address the kindle can receive emails from. 

Now go to AO3, and click the download button on the fic you want. From there select the .mobi format

Download the file, and send it to you kindle email. 

Then it will show up on your kindle as a document, but it reads just like any other book! YAY. 

LOOK AT THAT 

@redinkofshame ‘s Marigolds in the Hanged Man , which I am going to read on my vacation :D. Now I can read it on the plane. On my kindle. Without straining my eyes. 

I assume that if you are reading an unfinished fic, you might have to delete from the device and then send again when updated. 

But honestly, one of my big barriers to reading long fics whether done or stull in progress is just getting the time to get started, and being able to put it on a reading device will sure help.
