Her unmanageable hair always carefully restrained in tight braids that she’d kept coiled at the back of her head.

The quote does not match the scene from the chapter. 😅 I just wanted to draw a close up of Hermione foraging. 🍃
oh man. do you ever read something and just. oh man.
My Mom’s Mom loved lilacs. They were her favorite flower. In 2015 I planted a lilac bush in our yard because they’re my favorite too, but it stayed knee high and skinny and put out a few leaves and maybe one cluster of blossoms a year, despite my best efforts at fertilizing and tending to it.
We lost Bummy in December of 2020 to covid when, despite the heroic efforts of nursing staff, the virus finally hit her nursing home. None of us had been able to see her in almost a year, as their visitation protocols were so strict, and we were all shattered at the loss. But that spring my lilac bush shot up two feet and began producing flower cluster after flower cluster. This is what it looks like this year.
The blossoms opened on May 8th this year, which is her birthday.
i offer to you all a compilation of some of my personal favorite screenshots from 2000s movie maker bandom love stories that i’ve gathered from the span of 2016-2023:
engineer 1: we need a name for the front of the plane where the pilots sit
engineer 2: dick hole
engineer 1: hmm…almost

people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist
#measuring the size of fandoms based on their goncharov index#this has been a useless text post you may now resume your normal programming#rote has a goncharov index of 0.63#for perspective ofmd has an index of 26.5#spn’s is 360.8#the cosmere is 2.26 for a fantasy book comparison#i am very normal
The Goncharov Index, everyone.

Concept: Fire Lords traditionally dress like the stages of the sun to match their reign.
When Zuko is first crowned, he dresses in the colours of dawn. Bright yellows and pinks and even purples. He starts to wear more traditional crimson-and-gold robes after a few years, the colours of midday when Agni is at his strongest. And towards the end of his reign, when he’s getting ready to pass the crown onto Izumi, he starts dressing like the setting sun.
#okay but people noticing zukos slow transition from reds and gold to oranges and purples#and at first speculate hes dying. but then realize the shift is too gradual and purposeful to be that. izumi is also shifting her wardrobe#shes wearing clothes that are dark and deep#that as zukos shift further into deeper oranges and yellows and purples hers shifts into light yellows and pinks.#and its already been announced that he’ll abdicate. but everyone suspected before then. the day he does his clothes are only orange or red#at the hems. special for the abdication. and the rest a light to dark purple gradient. a visual signifier of his time as firelord ending#and i think that its a happy day. zuko has made sure his daughter and nation are ready.that it is time a different generation took the lead#so izumi is one of if not the only fire lord to be crowned by her parent. its important for the nation and its important for *them*#also teen zuko being the first firelord in over a hundred years to follow an anciet tradition whilst making sweeping reforms?#showing that the fire nation need not lose its culture to fix its wrongs and look to the future#yeah i like this a lot actually#atla (from @findafight)
Yes you get it!!!!!
People can visibly see the sun dawning on Izumi’s reign just by looking at the gold thread disappearing from Zuko’s robes and appearing on his daughter’s
This concept has been living in my head since you posted it @captainkirkk so I had to give in and draw something for it.
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL???
