Thank
you so much for your kind letter of the 17th. It is always a pleasure
to hear from you. I do appreciate your waiving the rules about
familiars to allow Wednesday to bring little Homer – she dotes on
that spider, and I don’t think she could consider Hogwarts home
without his company.
We
were delighted but completely unsurprised by the children’s Sorting.
Of course Wednesday is a Ravenclaw – she has always had a brilliant
mind, and it is rather traditional for the women in our
family. Slytherin might have been a possibility, with her cleverness
and ambition, but sadly (and quietly, between friends) I must admit
the wrong sort have rather taken over that House at the moment. Death
Eaters are so vulgar. Gomez, naturally, is over the moon about
our little Harry being a fellow Gryffindor – the world does need more
dashing, brave, and reckless men. They make life so interesting for
the rest of us, don’t you agree? And I am certain he will be safe
under your care, after his rather difficult start in life, poor
child. That aunt and uncle of his are just too terribly common to
protect him adequately – I am grateful Albus saw sense and left him
with us rather than her.
I
appreciate your bringing to my attention the small difficulty between
Harry and Draco – I shall have a word with Narcissa. (Lucius is still
being terribly silly about that little peacock incident, and refuses
to speak to Gomez at all. Men can be so ridiculously proud. And they
really did look so much better in black.) Really, though, Harry was
only defending his friend. I probably should warn you that Wednesday
writes that she is teaching young Longbottom a few of her more subtle
defenses – I sincerely doubt Draco will trouble him in future if he
uses those. I assure you, none of them cause permanent damage, only
temporary discomfort, and she is well aware that they are only for
self-defense, not mere childish aggression. Addamses do not start
fights, but we do finish them, and Wednesday has always looked out
for her brothers.
At
least that little incident allowed you to see Harry’s flying skills
in time to recruit him for the Quidditch team. I think he shall be an
excellent Seeker – he was always the best at bat-spotting on summer
evenings, and then there was the time he “borrowed” Gomez’s
broom to rescue Pugsley’s pet octopus Aristotle, who had developed an
unaccountable taste for tree-climbing, but had neglected to learn how
to climb down. It was a successful rescue, even though he was mildly hampered on his descent by Aristotle clinging to his face in terror.
Please
send my apologies to Severus for that unfortunate incident in Potions
class. I should have warned him that Wednesday was experimenting
with, shall we say, some variant recipes. I am quite certain,
however, that Miss Parkinson’s hair will grow back normally, and that
the snakes are only a temporary embellishment.
My
best regards, and do drop by for tea if you ever happen to be in the
neighborhood. Thing has perfected your favorite shortbread recipe – I
do believe he has a little crush on you. Or perhaps it is merely that
you are the only visitor we have had, outside of family, who is
sensible enough to shake hands with him without flinching.
soundwaves are only good if you put tree sap on horse hair, remember that
*crying* what does this mean
I would contend the sound of slapping a dead animal’s stretched-out skin with a stick can also be quite pleasant, as can screaming from your diaphragm at the right pitch and octave.

Orcs aren’t known for their great cuisine. Orcs prefer foods that are readily available (whatever can be had by raiding), and portable with little preparation, though they have a few racial delicacies. Toughs strips of lean meat, bones scavenged from recent kills, and dark coarse bread make up the bulk of common orc rations.Fire roasted rothe femur (marrow is a rare treat) [beef femur], Strips of dried meat (of unknown origin) [homemade goose jerky], foraged nuts, only edible by orcs….nut cracker tusks [brazil nuts], coarse black bread, made with whatever grains can be pillaged [black sesame bread], Pungent peppers [Habanero peppers stuffed with smoked fish and olives].
Lizardfolk are known to be omnivores, forage for a surprising variety of foods found within the confines of their marshy environs, in this case the Lizard Marsh near Daggerford. Fresh caught boiled Delimbyr Crayfish on wild chives, coastal carrageen moss entrapping estuary brine shrimp (irish moss, dried brine shrimp), Brackish-Berries (blackberries), Blackened Dart-Frog legs (frog legs) on spring sprouts (clover sprouts), roasted bog bugs on a stick!

So, I’ve been in the AH fandom for a long ass time now. I first started watching in 2011. I read my first fanfic in 2012. I’ve been here for a lot of drama in those past six years, as fandoms tend to experience on Tumblr. So when I see a mistake being made that was made before and was catastrophic, I feel obligated to try and stop it before it’s too late.
With a lot of new people in this fandom, there are a lot of new fic writers. That’s awesome! I write and read AH fanfiction and am always happy to see more in the community! But there are some rules about posting it to Tumblr you need to know.
DO. NOT. TAG. THEIR. REAL. NAMES.
I know it’s unintuitive if you’re from another fandom (especially if it wasn’t an RPF). But Tumblr isn’t AO3. There are people here who love AH and are disgusted and uncomfortable with seeing fanfiction (especially smut but all fics in general). And that’s their right to be uncomfortable! These at the end of the day are real people we’re writing about. And we need to respect that. But it’s also more than just that.
Some of these people get mad. Like, really fucking mad. And when fics start to get into the main tags, they lash out. I’ve seen this happen time and time again in this fandom. They will write hate messages, try and shame us around other community members, and try to go to the Rooster Teeth staff (a lot of whom have given permission to write them, but there are rules. @fuckyeahrtfanfic made a list of rules a while ago worth looking at if you’re new or need a refresher) which can feel hella embarrassing for writers, especially young ones. Before RT I was in the Smosh fandom and experienced that and I don’t wish it upon anyone. It’s just all in all a bad situation.
We have made tags to get around this. “Ragehappy” is a thing for this very reason, something you can tag isntead of “Achievement Hunter”. And there are ways to get around tagging say “Ryan Haywood” in a Freewood fic. Tag Freewood, tag fahc!Ryan or whatever AU you write the fic in. Tag Ragehappy. If you really feel the need to tag their names, post to AO3 instead.
I don’t want to be a fic police or anything but I’ve been seeing fics in the main tags and I just don’t want this to be an issue again. Especially because some of you are so new and young or just don’t know better. It sucks, but when you’re in an RPF you have to tip toe, even if the people you write about are okay with it. And this isn’t just for us, but also if it makes people uncomfortable than they shouldn’t have to see it.
Just make sure we tag our fics correctly, lovelies. I don’t want us to make people feel uncomfortable or to attract a lot of hate again.
This is the money pentacle. Reblog and unexpected money will come to you!
Shiiiiit. I reblogged, and I got $750 in two days for basically nothing! The first day this client/POT asked my agent to invite some girls and I to his end. We basically sipped wine and left with $500 each. He called me yesterday and we took a ride on my highway and gave me $250😂😂😂. Money blogs everyday any day!
Won’t chance it.
Yo this shit works not even gonna front like I didn’t just get money
Let me reblog this 2x then 😂
Do the thing pls

Not to be a “tumblr witch” but I’ll try anything twice
Guys…. I didn’t think it would work but wtf….I just checked my email…
Superhero/journalist AU is very good AU. Much wow. Except when I have to draw armor on every panel so I made a quicker version without a lot of details. I was supposed to draw that for Peapod McHanzo week but it took me ages to finish those pages :’)
