I'm so desperate for something sweet that I'm about to eat brown sugar.

currently obsessed with british murder mystery tv shows where all the murders happen in the same town in every episode and everyone's just like oh yep there goes another one, just another day in shirefordtonstead

Character idea that I had at some point: A dance teacher who had to give up his own highly promising career as a performer after an injury, and now makes his living giving lessons to children. He comes off as stern, serious, and frighteningly strict, and even some of the parents have a hard time believing that the kids genuinely like him and enjoy the lessons. Which, to be fair, are frightening to watch with no context of what this is about.

The children go through their practices with downright eerie, automation-like, coordinated synchrony, with stern and focused looks on their faces, while the teacher circles them, observing and correcting, brandishing his cane like a weapon and every once in a while dramatically lamenting about how "you little vermin can't do anything right", and occasionally the music stops and the only sounds coming from the studio are of kids running and screaming while their teacher bellows about teaching them a lesson.

This, however, is all just method. He started the first lesson with the children by proposing a game: How about they play flea circus, where he is the cruel evil ringmaster and they are all his poor suffering little fleas. One of the girls starts crying, protesting that she doesn't want to be a flea. Well, how about mice? Mice are cute. The children accept these terms, and ever since they've spent dance lessons playing Evil Circus.

For reasons beyond adult comprehension, children of a certain age really love playing pretend in a setting where everything is Dark And Horrible And The Worst, and Evil Mouse Circus is exactly that. And whenever he picks up that the kids are starting to get too genuinely nervous or agitated, that's when he goes "that's it I'm going to beat all of you" which is their cue to take a break to run around screaming, while he chases them. He won't catch them and isn't even trying to, the kids just need to let the nervous energy out.

It looks horrible to an outside observer, but the kids are having an excellent time playing circus mice.

Why did invest time into a joke not very many will get?

I mean… I guess I can amuse myself anyway.

(I needed to doodle something silly as the current scene I’m working on for the comic is kinda a downer)

do you ever find yourself reading multiple HP fics at the same time and having to remember which one is which like oh is Voldemort setting up in Malfoy manor or the Riddle house here? should I be concerned that the horcrux hunt for the ring is going on right now or nah? Everyone’s wary of Dumbledore but I forget, is he just a chessmaster in this fic or is he actively against our intrepid heroes, maybe that was the other fic?

I hate how people can openly complain about "overpopulation" in the global south and "low birthrates" in europe and japan

Bone Spaghetti.

hello librarian! do you happen to know if you can use italics in AO3 summaries? because i can’t, for the life of me, figure out HOW

Oh sure thing friend! So it turns out there are two different ways to make your text italicized.

Rich Text

Create a new work.

In the body/fic text area, select “rich text”.

Highlight your text and click the I.

The second way...

HTML

Create a new work.

Scroll down to the body text and make sure HTML is selected.

Add <em> on either side of the text you want italicized.

Hope this mini tutorial helps you out!

If you have a question about fandom, ask the Librarian!

Hey did you know that you can’t escape fatphobia even after death? The article talks about how these donated bodies are used for first year anatomy students to study the body, and how the 'perfect' body for that should be 170-180 pounds.
