Got a good bit of writing done on my #Malfoid fic today. Chiefly the snake interaction at the zoo. I won’t give anything away except that it’s gonna be a lot of fun.

The next chapter should be done with principle drafting in 2 days, then a day or 2 for polish/editing.

@MAGNVS_DVX I mean he did meet Voldemort in Albania

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

Fair warning: I am not a good artist and made this in about 15 minutes, but this is essentially how I plan to depict/describe the "Dark Mark" in my #malfoid fanfic. Something a tad less "evil wizard gang tat" and more "19th-century occultist society"

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

@MAGNVS_DVX And don't forget Quirrell who actually makes a lot more sense in the 1890s imo because an academic wearing a Turban today is suspicous back then it was just they guy being an obnoxious orientalist, which I how I plan to write him

Kudzu would work as a wand core, especially attuned to the dark arts. That plant ain't natural

North American wands would be the most cursed shit imaginable.

Like “Yeah it’s made from sugar maple and bigfood ballhair”

“Wait say that again?”

“Oh, sugar maple, yeah the wand is a bit sweet sometimes-“

“No the other one”

@MAGNVS_DVX I feel like Lockheart was probably a Theosophist, somehow, it fits him in my head

@vlozw777 My first car was my dad’s old 1999 Mazda Familia, and I still miss that old car and wish I could’ve kept it when I moved.

@Orioniae @GuardTm @NWBroJaneway What do you think a Crimean war hero like McGonagall is on staff for?

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

I’m working on a #malfoid Rewrite fic that I hope to have the first chapter of up later this week.

What I’m doing differently from @GuardTm and @NWBroJaneway is that I’m retooling the entire story to be set in the #Victorian period, moving the plot back by 100 years exactly.

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

YouTube has been recommending me MythBusters clips, and I've been watching them for that nostalgia hit.

But really, what makes it such a peak show is that it's just two dudes screwing around with a budget and enough knowledge to be dangerous safely.

@SamuraiShibaJP My dad when I was about 8 on his old 22, took me hunting for the first time when I was 11.

My #malfoid rewrite’s first chapter is live.

Thanks to @GuardTm @NWBroJaneway and everyone else who wished me luck when I announced it yesterday.

Sorry for the shameless self-promo

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

@MAGNVS_DVX No clue really, I need an idea that’s worth devoting the time to.

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

I’ve updated my bio to remove my old, mostly unused YouTube account and now it should show my short story blog where I archive things I post other places.

If anyone is interested https://t.co/vqBrAWOkoK it’s mostly horror shorts. Some suck, tbh.

@ciaran3301 @GuardTm @NWBroJaneway Been really into Bob Dylan lately, and I never grew out of My Chem if that tells you what an evil and dangerous person I am.

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

@ciaran3301 @GuardTm @NWBroJaneway Sorry, I’m rather terrible ;)

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

@DabHeadAFC @GuardTm @NWBroJaneway No, I’m really playing around with how the characters are affected by existing within the Victorian class system, and what the different social ideals do to their personalities and plot lines.

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

@GuardTm @NWBroJaneway With two people rewriting it already I need to do something to make it distinct.

[Surly Zoomer @Surly_Zoomer]

@NWBroJaneway @GuardTm I’m maintaining the recognizable plot and characters, but what I’m really looking to play around with is how the relationships change in a Victorian class system.
