Fuck jkr and her shitty opinions.

Ask box is open as long as you’re not being mean to real people. Ask memes are fair game no matter how old (just send a link if it’s been more than a week). No promises on prompts, I have too many ideas as it is.

The Big Fics:

We’re All Monsters (Living in a Dream) aka the Daddy Issues Werewolf Fic (DIWF) (WIP):
Two days before he might have fought off dementors from Privet Drive, Harry meets a werewolf. It goes less smoothly than he might expect. The ensuing custody battle and full moon transformations, on top of his OWL year and a brewing war— well, he never expected that to go smoothly at all.
Werewolf!Harry, Dad!Remus, OotP canon divergence

A Rat in the Hand aka Pocket Dad (WIP, Series):
Not every mistake can be fixed, not every broken thing repaired. But you can still do the right thing, even after everything.
And damn it, Peter is going to try.
Dad!Peter, SS/PS canon divergence

The Peter Collection:

The Break and the Fall:
There is a brief moment when Regulus Black and Peter Pettigrew are both in the service of Voldemort. This isn’t a story about that. It is a story about everything that came before, and a little that came after.
Regulus/Peter, canon compliant (or at least compatible), MCD

we begin in the dark:
“To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.” — Albus Dumbledore
…there are those who would beg to differ.
Regulus/Peter, First War, nonlinear narrative, character death

Out of the Woods:
Life continues after the ending of every story, happy or otherwise. 
Or: Peter has a plan, after everything falls apart. He isn’t totally sure if it's going to plan, though.
Peter/Petunia, Post-Halloween, cheating

Other Highlights:

Where do we begin?:
The Wizarding world began to rebuild in the days following the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry took a moment to have a much needed conversation.
Harry and Andromeda talk family, canon compliant

whatever you do (come back):
In which secrets are discovered, discussed, and shared, everyone has to be a grown-up, and tattoos are life-changing. 
Soulmate!AU, but make it platonic.
Dean Thomas & Nymphadora Tonks, soulmate marks, EWE

Mine eyes have seen the glory of
The coming of the Lord above
He’s got some grapes of wrath He’s gonna brew ya
He’s loosed the fateful lightning stored
Within his terrible swift sword
Truth’s marching, glory glory hallelujah!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelu..uu uu uu…ujah

I’ve seen Him in a hundred camps
They’ve built an altar in the damps
And where the chill of evening passes through ya
I’ve read his righteous sentence in
The lights that flare both bright and dim
His day comes, glory glory hallelujah!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelu..uu uu uu…ujah

I read a Gospel writ in steel
God sees how you with sinners deal
And as you do to them, His grace will do ya
Let hero born of woman crush
The serpent hidden in the brush
God’s marching, glory glory hallelujah!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelu..uu uu uu…ujah

He’s sounded forth the trumpet call
That never knows retreat at all
And from His judgment seat He’s gonna view ya
Be swift my soul his call to meet
Be jubilant, my legs and feet
God’s marching, glory glory hallelujah!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelu..uu uu uu…ujah

Beside the lilies, Christ was born
Amidst the beauty of the morn
With glory in His bosom to renew ya
And as He died in saving me
So I will die to make men free
God’s marching, glory glory hallelujah!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelu..uu uu uu…ujah

I heard there was a secret chord that David used to play
But you don’t really care for anything I have to say
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, and so on in this way
He just kept playing on!

The baffled king composing Hallelujah! The baffled king composing Hallelujah!
The baffled king composing Hallelujah! He just kept playing on!

Your faith in God was strong and yet you felt you needed proof
You saw the moonbeams dancing as she bathed upon the roof
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she cut your hair, and - oof!
She drew it from your lips!

From your lips the Hallelujah! From your lips the Hallelujah!
From your lips the Hallelujah! She drew it from your lips!

You say that I have tried to take the Name of God in vain
But really to be honest I don’t even know the Name
A blaze of light in every word, I guess they’re all the same.
It doesn’t matter which!

The holy or the broken Hallelujah! The holy or the broken Hallelujah!
The holy or the broken Hallelujah! It doesn’t matter which!

It might not have been much, but still I tried to do my best
And even though it all went wrong, I feel that I’ve been blessed
And if I meet the Lord of Song when I am laid to rest
That’s all I’ll have to say!

I will tell Him Hallelujah! I will tell Him Hallelujah!
I will tell Him Hallelujah! That’s all I’ll have to say!

#hey until i figured out what was going on here this post was making me take psychic damage

I’m actually pretty sure I took more psychic damage after I figured out what was going on

for the record, this is Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” if it were “Battle Hymn of the Republic”, and vice versa:

which is really cool! except for the bit where one of these songs is very very Christian and one is, in the original, very very Jewish, and I do have to specify in the original…

I don’t think that Regulus ever put himself between Sirius and his parents, I infact think that he parroted a lot of the things they said to Sirius and blamed him for things that happened. (“They wouldn’t hurt you if you weren’t like this.”) It is not his fault - he is a child in a chaotic enviroment, trying to keep himself on their parents’s good side and also children tend to believe the things their parents tell. Yeah, I think he just watched. And that is fine, it’s not his job to keep Sirius safe - like it is not Sirius’s job to keep Regulus safe.

One thing that a lot of transmasc people struggle with before they fully realize they’re trans is the question of “do I hate being treated like a woman because women are treated like shit, or do I hate being treated like a woman because I’m not a woman?”

and one method (though not entirely foolproof) to figuring that out is asking “would I be upset if another girl was treated like this?”

like, I’d be just as mad if some dude said “you can’t do math because you’re a girl” to a female classmate as I would if he said it to me

however, I never got uncomfortable at waiters calling my female friends “m'am”, I was only uncomfortable when they called *me* that

and obviously everyone’s feelings are different and there’s tons of variables at play, but if you find that there’s a lot of the second scenario going on with you, there’s a good chance you’re not entirely cis

Where was this post 18 god damn months ago.

One of my favorite things is learning what words people used for this hand game—where you sit in a circle with your hands facing up, right hand on top of your neighbor’s, left hand below your other neighbor’s, and you sequentially go around slapping right hand into left— where they lived when they were kids. The regional variations are the best. It’s in Wikipedia as “Stella Ella Ola,” but for me (and many NE USAmericans) it’s “Quack Diddly Oso.”

The way these games are taught to younger kids by older kids and spread throughout regions is so fascinating; I want a visualization where you can see what happens when one random kid 50 years ago moved to a different state. I have no idea how widespread this game is, but I think it’s all across the US and Canada, at a minimum. I haven’t seen my kids play this—is it still a thing?

In my school in the 90s, it went like this—

Quack diddly oso, 
Quack, quack, quack, 
Señorita, 
Rita, rita, rita, 
Velour, velour, 
Velour, velour, velour, velour, 
1, 2, 3, 4!

I especially appreciate the versions that include “your mother smells like pizza,” “the toilet over fulled,” and “the cat peed on the floor,” “potatoes on the floor-a”

What about you? Anyone play it outside of North America?

everyone who played “down by the banks,” I feel sorry for you that you had such a boring version

I hate the fact this fucking fits. I’m just about to call it quits.
Now everything just sounds like hallelujah.

You pick a phrase, you pick a rhyme, repeat the sound another time,
Five iambs, then an extra beat will do ya.
Another rhyme, a rising note - congratulations, you just wrote
Another goddamn verse to Hallelujah.

I was a pretty weird outcasted child so one of the greatest wonders of my adult life has been realizing that you can just go someplace and meet some people and casually make some friends, and they might not be in your life forever but you can hang out for a while, and then you can go somewhere else and do it again, and again, if it doesn’t work out no biggie, etc.
