Here's Looking At You Kid by MesserMoon (E, 140k, George/Blaise)
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world…"
George wanders into a bar. Nothing is ever the same.
I am in love with the characterizations in this fic. I intended to read one chapter and space it out. Instead, I fell immediately for how this fic doesn't shy away from drawing out all the complications, and heartbreak, and Weasley family disapproval from their relationship. Perfect use of flashbacks to draw out the story. There's also a significant secondary Drarry plot. What more could I need?
kit connor absolutely NAILING nicks confusion mixed with attraction in the first couple of episodes is so special to me. like it’s so clear- especially in eps 2&3 that he is so confused but likes charlie so much he doesn’t know what to do with himself. and that culminated brilliantly at the start of episode four with “i’m just so so confused” (and when his voice broke </3) it was so realistic and SO well done like i was floored
Actually, Ratatouille is the dish’s name, you’re thinking of Ratatouille’s monster.
charlie spring being out as gay. nick nelson being bisexual. tara and darcy being lesbians and being proud to say that they are, not just using the word gay. isaac being aroace confirmed by alice. girl in red being played in a tv show. casual homophobia in british schools being portrayed in an accurate way and being condemned as actual homophobia not just the lads banter.
this show is something that most teenagers who grew up on this goddamn app never had in tv shows. we just got shows that queerbaited us and I’m so glad the new generation get to have actual representation. heartstopper is everything. watch it please
whispering “no” while reading a book because you know that the character's about to make a fool out of themselves and kill you with second hand embarrassment
My recommendation no one asked for:
R: Explicit
It’s quite one thing for your best mate to casually tell you about all the sex his boyfriend wants to have. It’s altogether another to have him bring up the time you snogged him in a shitty Central London park.
Draco Malfoy/ Harry Potter/ Ron Weasley
I have literally so many opinions on heartstopper and all of them are good. but what I want to talk about right now is how we went through nicks journey with discovering his bisexuality WITH HIM. we watched him take “am I gay” tests and research lgbt stuff. We saw his happiness when Tara and Darcy were able to kiss. We saw him talk to other lgbt people about what their experiences were. We saw him watch coming out videos on YouTube !!! We watched him come out to a few close friends at a time. We saw him rewatch pirates of the caribbean with a new perspective !!
We saw his journey!!! That was integral to the story!!! not just finding friendships and family and love, but finding yourself while in the midst of high school and all kinds of other stressors. This was so beautiful and I feel so thankful to have been able to witness this journey through media.

PART FOUR OF THE COMEDOWNVERSE/BAND AU WITH @hungryheartpotter AND @wolfbuck
VICE UK, 2017

HOME // Entertainment // Interviews: Votre Populi on their upcoming album ‘The Comedown’ and Married Life
Rising from obscurity in the recent months, London AltPunk Revival band Votre Populi has skyrocketed to the top of the UK Alternative charts and has quickly made its way overseas to a budding North American audience as well. I had the pleasure of sitting down with all five members at VICE UK HQ on Monday for their second interview with us, and was thrilled to find what every other modern punk-loving publication has said so far to be true: all five rockers are as handsome and charming as they are talented.
Votre Populi’s face and voice, Sirius Black, is the notorious Bromley Contingent-style punk prettyboy who has stolen the hearts of Instagram users of all genders, but the band is more than just his lovely face; guitarist Remus Lupin, bassist James Potter, drummer Lily Evans Potter (that’s right folks, they’ve got a GIRL drummer!) and Peter Pettigrew on the synth.
Lily and James, as pictured in our gallery, tied the knot in spring after dating for three years, and have a baby boy called Harry as of the 31st of July. I wanted to ask the big questions, and know how their life as parents and newlyweds has affected the band.
VICE UK: First of all. Welcome back to the VICE UK office. It’s so great to have you here again, and after such a busy year!
LILY: More like during, really. Album’s not ready yet, after all, and after that, there’ll be another bloody tour.
JAMES: But thank you! We’re happy to be here.
SIRIUS: Yeah Lily, don’t be a sourpuss.
LILY: (laughing) F**k off, you. Don’t tell me not to be a sourpuss until you give birth.
VICE UK: I can imagine it’s been very trying, Lily. A big wedding, a new baby, and then another album! How do you do it?
LILY: Drugs and alcohol mostly.
PETER: She’s kidding.
LILY: Obviously. The real answer is making the men do everything else for me. What use are men if they aren’t going to wait on me hand and foot?
SIRIUS: Hear hear!
LILY: Okay seriously, of course being busy has been stressful, but it’s also been very easy. I have an incredible support system, between these idiots and my family and James’s family, and our friends… The list goes on, but I assure you, I’ve been very lucky.
VICE UK: Oh, that’s so sweet! I’m sure having your husband there with you helps quite a bit. What about the other three? It must be strange to have two band members married. Do you ever feel left behind, or do you have special someones as well?
