Everything with Magnus is so new, there’s just first after first, so many things Alec never thought he would think or feel. (Or: Alec really wants to give his first blowjob).

Every so often, Magnus breaks out his tarot cards and does a reading for Alec. A series of codas set after 1x06, 2x07, 2x15, and 2x20 (and one more in an undetermined future). - “Tarot cards,” says Alec, unimpressed. He frowns at the worn, faded deck that Magnus places on the table. “Do you really believe this stuff? That it can tell your future?” “This craft is less about divining the future and more about... getting perspective on the present,” corrects Magnus. “Would it really be too much trouble to indulge your newest – and by my guess, only – warlock friend in a harmless hobby?”

While all of Europe is responsible, I think it’s also important for people from the UK to acknowledge the particular and direct culpability of our government in what has happened in Israel and Palestine - mostly because it never is. Politicians don’t mention it, the media never mentions it, they tell you nothing about it in school, no one talks about it. I was just saying exactly the same thing about India, but if you ask an average British person if they think their country did a good job of ruling Palestine you’ll get a blank stare, maybe they’ll pull a massively uninformed opinion out of their arse, I doubt many could tell you exactly when it was. But the fact is that when Britain assumed control of the Holy land in 1918 both Zionism and Palestinian nationalism were relatively minor concerns, and when we left in 1948 there was a civil war raging between those two sides. All of the important seeds of the conflict were sown and took root while Britain was in charge. The first major Palestinian uprising of 1936-39 was an anti-colonial struggle against the British Empire.  But today, watching the news, British people are like ‘wow guess we’ll never understand why Jews and Arabs just naturally hate each other’… just like those Hindus and Muslims in India and Pakistan, and those Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland’….. and all of those other places on earth where the legacy of British occupation and partition is division, violence and misery. The Empire is not a distant memory we can feel vaguely proud and nostalgic about (as most British people apparently do) it was a global crime of almost unimaginable proportions and it’s still (in some cases quite literally) blowing up in our faces. 

CHECK OUT your differences in wand technique here and how fluidly and casually Ron throws a curse in comparison to Harry and Hermione Hermione has done the reading and is technically perfect of course Elbow straight; wrist bent Wand tip aligned with left sightline left arm held loosely behind her for balance Harry hasn’t ever done the reading Grip too tight; elbow locked Shoulders raised Left elbow cranked in awkwardly against his body Kids’ll imitate his awful technique and Junior Aurors it’ll make their parents nuts; don’t twist your neck like that I don’t care what Auror Potter does When you save wizardkind you can hold your wand however you want until then drop your shoulders Ron’s been around wand users since birth practiced with twigs and then his brothers’ wands Look at how the movement flows from his center the way he uses his whole body throws out his opposite hand behind him to counterbalance the movement Harry and Hermione get their wands into position and then throw the curse Ron’s spell starts mid-motion because he knows his wand will be in position in time

It can be hard to be patient in the face of eternity. But good things come to those who search and refuse to give up on their dreams. R/J focused.

Usagi isn't all that smart, and isn't looking forward to that good of a future, probably, so excuse her if she has some trouble believing she's supposed to save the world.

“I think I should write a book. How Minako Got Her Groove Back." the shitennou return to life, specifically the senshi's, and minako deals with it (poorly)

I never asked for this to happen to me. Hell, I was probably the last person qualified for the job, but here I was, trapped in the body of Tsukino Usagi. I was't a hero, or some savior of the universe, and these people were about to get a rude awakening. Tokyo would have to find a new moon princess, because this one wasn't available. SI-OC (slight AU)

It was simple, really: Blair would take Dan from pariah to belle of the ball (she'd done much more with much less in the past), and he would make her…socially pleasant to be around and more considerate of others.

In some other life We are standing Side by side and Laughing that, in Some other life We are apart. -David Jones

There’s a few seconds where they’re just breathing, where Alec’s fingers are burning against the skin under the waistband of Magnus’ underwear and Magnus just looks, stading over him - and then there’s meowing, loud and pitiful and Alec's mind comes to a stop. inspired by this prompt: "I met you in the club and you took me back to your place and I was expecting a one night stand but I noticed your three cats and now we're sitting on the floor talking about animals like 7 year olds

Some mistakes are so fucking big that they divert the path of your life entirely, sending you somewhere you were never meant to go. Some mistakes are so seismic and so obvious that when you look back on your life all you can see is the beacon where you made them. Some mistakes leave you so far off course you don't even recognize who you are or why you're still here. You don't usually get a chance to make amends.

Jeon Seokjin has exactly four weeks to stop the impending engagement of his younger brother, doomed to a loveless marriage. The only way to stop it is to make a better match, more advantageous, more lucrative for the Jeon family. It's impossible. It's his only option. Min Yoongi does not want, will never want, will never ever even consider, marriage. It's not in the cards. He's stubborn enough to achieve the total ban on marriage talks. Except maybe his grandmother is a little more stubborn than he is, and maybe she's determined to see him march down the aisle. The chaebol arranged marriage au that exactly one and a half people asked for.

It was small, slim, about the length of her hand; the leather cover was soft, the sewn-in binding was crisp, and the thick vellum pages were empty. 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' was printed in ancient, flaking gold leaf across the front. He had been a Slytherin, a prefect, and head boy in 1944. She had checked.   [ ALTERNATIVELY - Hermione finds Tom Riddle's diary, but not everything is different. ]

Here's a cool mashup I did of Payphone and Call Me Maybe with three very talented and AWESOME musicians that haven't been on the channel before: Jessica Jarrell, James Alan and Jake Broido. -- it's like listening to one person sing the beginning of their relationship and the other person sing the end.

Once the possibility of chakra migrating through time and space has been accepted, the soul is only a lunging step away. Two legendary lovers escape to the past in order to save themselves, each other, and maybe the world- if there's time. A story of transmigration, yandere tendencies, and far more spiritual incest than Naruto ever signed up for. (Time Travel) (Naru/fem!Sasu) (AU)

Sabaku no Gaara lands in the past to a time where everyone fears him and his father is still alive. He realises regaining everyone's trust will be difficult, especially when they still think he's a blood-thirsty psychopath. No pairing. Time Travel.

Idea for a Superman origin movie built around two solid points: 1) Lois Lane is the lead character; and 2) The audience dose not know who is playing Superman going into the movie. So the movie centers around a young Lois, who’s desperately trying to get a job as a reporter at the Daily Planet, despite a hiring freeze as the printed journalism business struggles to keep up, and despite the fact she has no prior journalism experience (at least, not outside of an expensive degree that has yet to start paying for itself). Even though no one at the Planet will even return her calls, she barges in in the middle of a work day, trying to get an interview. She bounces off a lot of people (a number of them tall guys with dark hair and nice eyes who she barely notices) until she tracks down Perry White, who tells her, sarcastically, that he’ll hire her on the spot if she can bring him a properly sourced article revealing the story Metropolis’s new hero, who just yesterday stopped a runaway train with his bare hands. 

Magnus first meets Alexander on a veranda outside a glittering spectacular ball in 1852. Alexander first meets Magnus at a Downworlder rave in 2016.

But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.” ― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

alec and magnus have a bond. it's probably going to be telepathic. or the one where the lightwoods are put on trial in more ways than one and alec slowly falls in love with magnus one day at a time.

Valentine grins, teeth flashing wickedly. “I need a test subject, and the perfect situation has just arisen.” With a flick of his wrist, he neatly slices the warlock’s throat with a shallow cut that won’t kill her before she can be healed. “I just need a little bit of your blood,” he tells the gasping warlock, tilting his head like an over-sized dove at the strange bubbling noises she’s making.

a comprehensive list of (some) of the bullshit the u.s. has pulled on latinoamerica: (1952’s-recently) after aiding the military coup of Batista in Cuba; the US used its own military force to try and stop the armed revolution led by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. after the revolution succeeded, the US proceeded to apply a diplomatic, political and economic blockade on the Cuban republic that lasted until Fidel Castro’s stepping from power (this part has been edited bc i had originally mixed up Castro w/Chavez and wrote he’d died recently) also the mere existence of Guantamo Bay to this day in Cuba like (mid 1800’s-today) the US not only invaded and occupied Haiti, wrecked its economy and aided several military dictatorships; it still holds silent power over its government and is doing nothing good with it (1946) the US government admittedly infected Guatemalan citizens with various STDs as part of ‘medical research’ (1980) the US government to this day justifies its aid in the murder of more than 63k civilians during the US-supported military dictatorship in El Salvador (1970’s) one third of Puerto Rican women were forcibly sterilized in a state-approved project

Kel sat and thought about it all through the long summer-- thought about joining the Riders when she turned sixteen, or going back to the Yamani Isles with her parents, or running away to become an unlawful bandit hunter. She drank tea with her mother and accepted her quiet sympathy. She wondered what was going to happen to Peachblossom. She did her morning glaive practice dances in the heady air of the tiny courtyard garden of her parents' townhouse, where the cook grew herbs and spices in big overflowing boxes. Summer rolled on. She sat, and she thought, and she did not tell her thoughts to anyone. On the first day of what would have been her second year of page training, she woke before the sun and had a quiet breakfast with her father, and then she jogged up the big dusty hill to the palace. When the pages trailed out to the practice yards with dubious enthusiasm, she was waiting just outside their ground. Her chin was high, her shoulders loose while her hands gripped her weighted staff. "Probationer," Wyldon barked out her, when one of the boys went to fetch him. "Was I unclear in the spring?" Kel stared him down, fingers white on her staff, and said, "I'm not a probationer anymore."
