Cliche, I know. But it’s true.
And I found the image on google images so I’m sorry if it’s someone’s work. If you guys know who it belongs to, you should tell me and I’ll credit this properly.

Okay but Lead on to Fortune is So Fucking Wonderful

october31st1981:

Let me explain you guys a thing. I have this friend Kristina, who is smart and kind and wonderful and you should all probably follow her. Anyway, she loves a good anti-trope. (Read this post.) And she does it wonderfully here. 

Lead on to Fortune is an AU in which James is the Prince of the kingdom of Gryffindor and Lily is a barmaid and I don’t want to give too much away but there are def elements of canon that shine through. It’s almost half-way posted and I can’t wait to see the rest. (Another advantage to reading Kristina’s work - she completes it before she posts it so you will always get a scheduled update.)

I need to talk about James. Not only do I love that his character arc in terms of confidence is an inversion, he is also great in many other ways. He’s madly passionate and sort of naive and is a crazy cat-gentleman who wishes his cat Algernon could be his best man at his wedding. Part of him wants to abdicate because he does not think himself fit to rule, but the fact that he has high standards for the ruler of Gryffindor says a lot about his character. He’s not brilliant at everything, and mostly he’s just a guy who happens to be a prince, trying to find the balance between what he wants and his circumstances. And if you don’t absolutely adore the poor fool, we need to have a chat. 

And Lily. Lily is perhaps, quick to assume the worst of James upon first meeting him. But that changes. And not only that, she is not defined by her relationship with James, which I love. It is a sad truth in Jily fanfiction that a lot of the time Lily is only characterized by her behaviour with James or Snape. If she is short-tempered with James, she must be short-tempered with everyone. If she is too forgiving of Snape, she must be too-forgiving with everyone. But that is not the case here. She is intelligent, and willing to change, and sometimes nervous and sometimes easily embarrassed. She is human. And I love her for it.

Basically I love Kristina’s writing. It’s witty, and properly developed and so well thought out and I genuinely think you all should read it, not only because she’s a great person, but because the story itself is so good. Also, when you get to chapter 6, your shipper heart will pang with glee.

Guys I went on the Hinny tag and I saw tons of drawings of a red head female and a black haired guy.

A lot of them looked familiar.

Upon further inspection, I noticed that many had SQUARE glasses. Uh-uh. No. I ship Hinny, but come on gurl, that’s the Jily fandom you’re messing with.

I think it speaks to the fact that Snape was fucking mean that Neville’s worst fear was not Bellatrix Lestrange, the person who tortured his parents until they could no longer remember who they were or even Voldemort, whose name the act was committed in, but his school teacher who bullied him nine months at a time for years on end.

OH MY GOD. This is at my school. This was at MY HIGH SCHOOL. Westview Freaking High School. 

I don’t know what to say. I guess, that, the anime club now isn’t nearly as interesting as that one was. Although I wouldn’t know, I’m not in it. Just assuming.

Oh my god this is my school. My school has a wide range of different clubs. And they all make weird videos that go on the news. The Environmental Sustainability Club made a Harlem Shake video about recycling. We also made a dorky video about recycling plastic utensils.
