For the Love of Literature

I know it has been talked about before but I want to talk about wizarding tattoos and piercing again. Here’s just a couple ideas.

A tongue ring that you wear to ward off minor hexes and jinxes.

A Tattoo of a tree where the leaves change depending on the season.

A pair of matching tattoos of a piece of parchment that can be wrote on to send messages.

You see this dagger I have tattooed on my calf? It comes off into my hand as a real weapon when I’m in danger.

A little dragon that flies around your left forearm. 

A pin-up witch that winks and waves at you. 

A tattoo that starts off as a rune but once you fall asleep and wake up in changes into something that is similar to your patronus, something that symbolizes who you are.

A tattoo on somebodies wrist that warms up and changes color when they need to take their medications.

Ear piercings that translate everything around you into your native language. 

Lip piercing that do the same, except when you speak you speak the language of whoever you’re speaking to.

A small bird tattoo behind your ear that chirps and whistles to you when you’re anxious.

 A tattoo of your child that ages with them.

A tattoo for those that are hard of hearing or deaf and are unable to read lips at that moment that displays the words of the person speaking to them on their hand.

A nose ring that is charmed that long as you are wearing it you will never lose your keys.

A flower scene where some flowers only will bloom at certain times.

little nocturnal animal tattoos like raccoons that only show up on your skin after dark.

a tattoo of digital numbers on your wrist that tell the time.

You need to apologize.

Look, @mrsbinns and I disagree. That happens. We can argue about it, and stay mutuals, because life is filled with people you disagree with. Sometimes, when you discuss things, you come to see the other person’s point. Sometimes you don’t. If you don’t have conversations with people you disagree with, you never have your views challenged, you never consider new ideas.

(For the record, I think saying you’ll update when you get a certain number of reviews is a bit tacky and usually fruitless but I know it usually comes out of a place of frustration that you’re shouting your story into the void and you can see people are viewing it but no one is saying anything and you want to beg your readers to please say something, say anything, let me know I’m not wasting my time.)

If you create an environment where any kind of argument or disagreement is met with ‘you sanctimonious cunt’ you absolutely silence speech because you make people afraid to express themselves. You don’t want to live in a world where disagreement is shouted down with obscenities and disparagement. You don’t want to live in a world where, if you express an opinion, someone turns to you and says, ‘shut up you cunt, you don’t belong here.’

To mrsbinns: You have the right to self-expression. Your opinion does matter. Though, fanfiction authors have their reasons for holding out. It’s their story. Don’t let the garbage influence the way you live your Dramione experience. We escape the real world using this fandom. We live through it. Don’t let them ruin it. 

This is you anonymous:

Summary:  Draco Malfoy was far from a Prince Charming in disguise. He was a crude-mouthed beast who terrorizes women in their dreams, attacks their senses, and captures their heart never to set them free. Or that was just her?  Another Dramione Beauty and the Beast fic. Werewolf Draco with a twist.
