i will never get the people who are disappointed after reading tfota bc apparently it's lacking romance they thought would be there. like are u telling me “Kiss me, kiss me until I'm sick of it” doesn't make u giggle and kick your feet in the air? "You really do want me. And you hate it" does nothing for you? "Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop" isn't making you FERAL? and "If you're the sickness, I suppose you can't also be the cure" isn't all peak romance. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THOSE DAMN LETTERS

Essential Beat Sheet for Writers

ACT ONE: SETUP

1. Opening Image: A snapshot of your story’s world and tone. Who are we following? What’s at stake?

2. Theme Stated: A subtle hint about the story’s deeper meaning or lesson, often posed as a question or challenge.

3. Setup: Introduce your protagonist, their ordinary world, supporting characters, and the status quo. Show us what needs to change.

4. Catalyst: The inciting incident that flips the protagonist’s world upside down. This is the point of no return.

5. Debate: Your protagonist hesitates. Should they step forward into the unknown or retreat? This beat builds anticipation.

ACT TWO: CONFRONTATION

6. Break Into Two: The protagonist makes a decision and steps into a new world (literal or figurative). The adventure begins.

7. B Story: The subplot kicks in—often a relationship or secondary goal that supports the main story’s theme.

8. Fun and Games: The “heart” of the story. Deliver on the premise and explore the stakes through action, conflict, and character growth.

9. Midpoint: A major turning point where everything changes. Stakes are raised. Success feels closer—or failure looms larger.

10. Bad Guys Close In: External and internal pressures mount. Allies falter. Enemies strike. Doubts creep in.

11. All Is Lost: The darkest moment. The protagonist experiences a significant loss or setback.

12. Dark Night of the Soul: A pause for reflection. Your protagonist processes their failure and digs deep to find the courage to move forward.

ACT THREE: RESOLUTION

13. Break Into Three: Armed with new insight or strength, the protagonist takes decisive action to face the story’s central conflict.

14. Finale: The climax. Everything comes to a head in a final showdown or resolution. Your protagonist proves they’ve changed—or failed to.

15. Closing Image: A mirror of the opening image, showing how the world—and your protagonist—has transformed.

What people think why i became a bookbinder: Oh she wants to explore her artistic horizon with those pretty leather bound books of hers. She even gives them out as gifts to her friends. It most likely helps her with anxiety or maybe she just wanted a more special costume made notebook.

Why I actually became a bookbinder: I just illegally downloaded and printed out several of my favourite fanfics and books and started binding them into books cuz I love reading them but looking at screens for too long gives me headaches.

YES! When I say I SOBBED at the end. Such a well-written character arc, and I'd admittedly love to know more about her backstory.

***Iron Flame SPOILERS****

I am so incredibly disappointed with what everyone is choosing to talk about with this book. Everyone is concentrating on what happens with Xaden but you know what to me was the absolute most gut wrenching storyline in the whole book? General Lilith Fucking Sorrengail.

From the moment we see her again in the beginning of the book she is nothing but supportive and proud of her daughter. Yes, she absolutely made the wrong decision where she stands in the war, and what she did to Xaden was absolutely inexcusable. (Although I do think if she hadn’t done that they would have killed all the marked ones.) But she made all those decisions for her children. Because she did what she needed to to keep them safe. You can’t convince me that even after Violet leaves, that even after Mira leaves, that she wasn’t incredibly thankful for the fact they were together and with Xaden who would never let something happen to Violet.

Lilith went into the dungeons to get her daughter out of there and I am not unconvinced that had Violet not already been mid rescue the General wouldn’t have turned traitor right there to get her out. The scene when Brennen reveals himself to her?? She’s cracking and can hardly hold herself together and my heart felt so sorry for her in that moment. It made me mad at Brennan because he threw it in her face like ammo when Violet spent all of fourth wing describing how his death ruined their mother.

One of the most heart breaking quotes in the whole book is at the beginning of chapter 65:

“Most generals dream of dying in service to their kingdom. But you know me better than that, my love. When I fall, it will be for one reason only: to protect our children.”

General Sorrengail didn’t support the war, she didn’t fight for Navarre she made it clear fron the beginning that she was just a mom protecting her kids, and she did so without second thought. Without hesitation. She didn’t do what she did for the war effort, or even to help everyone on the battlefield. She did it for Brennen, and Violet, and Mira.

Lilith Sorrengail was just a desperate mother and everyone glossing over her sacrifice is bullshit.

RIGHT?! The first time I read it, I was like, "Well that's poorly worded. She could just pardon herself and then make Cardan miserable for fucking her around."

I'm really glad with the way it turned out, but it's definitely a moment where it's like, "Wow. You're so smart, but you're still so dumb."

Listen, I will admit that I couldn’t figure out amarantha’s riddle for the life of me BUT my first thought when cardan exiled Jude was “isn’t this bitch ~the crown~? Pardon yourself and go back…” and that has to count for something right???

Memory Musings

Her heart stilled as she thought of him.

The shine in his chestnut eyes as he laughed at something she said.

Running a hand through his hair as he tried to think of the right words to say.

He was frozen in her memory, forever a twenty-something man with a smile that stopped her in her tracks, and always had.

She wondered if he still thought of her.

If it made him ache to imagine her still singing along to that song.

If it made him feel just as sad to know that memories of each other will fade as they both get older; that jokes shared in the back of a car, late night text chats, and whispered secrets would soon become distant fever dreams of a life that could be.

Reposting because, ACCURATE.

I always hear 'Ron wasn't intelligent enough for hermione' this post is not about the couple's compatibility. This post is about Ron's intelligence. So bear with me.

Ron defeated Mcgonagall at chess when he was 12.

He casted a nonverbal spell *almost* successfully at the age of 12 when malfoy called Hermione a mudblood. That too with a broken second hand wand. Yes. 'Eat slugs' was a nonverbal spell in the books.

He got more O.W.Ls than Fred George combined without studying properly.

He got 7 O.w.Ls. and 6 exceed expectations in top 6 subjects and he didn't study like Hermione.

He could produce a corporeal patronus at the age of 15 when many grown up wizards and witches struggled with it. Even Hermione the brightest witch of her age struggled with this charm.

He fought the deatheaters in the 5th year and 6th year.

He saved Tonks' life during the 7 potters scene. Even Tonks, a qualified auror was impressed with his skills.

He deceived the snatchers in the DH and survived WITHOUT HERMIONE for many weeks

He disarmed bellatrix at malfoy manor. He took down greyback with the help of Neville. He fought in the battle of hogwarts.

He became a successful auror after the war.

Also he came up with the idea that tom riddle killed moaning myrtle, he told Harry to use Felix felicis, he discovered how to get back to Harry Hermione even though they had strong protection spells around their tent, He mimicked harry's parsletongue successfully, he came up with the idea(in the DH) that the basilisk's fangs could destroy horcruxes, He told Hermione to use her wand when she was panicking under pressure, he was the best liar among them. He easily fooled lucius and other deatheaters at the manor by mimicking Peter.

Not to mention his wit!! His one liners were unmatchable. Many times he was even funnier/wittier than Fred George.

Dear Hp fandom, academic intelligence is not the only form of intelligence. Try to understand it. Don't dismiss someone's intelligence just because he is not studious.
