My old neighbour, in her 70s, phones me a lot and couldn’t understand my recorded voicemail message so I changed it to the default msg thinking it might be clearer. She now leaves me messages that say “Go get fucked” and “Yeah, go fuck yourself” then rings later to chat.
*ahem* Ms Smith? The word you’re looking for is LAVE. Nobody should be doing what you’re describing. I really need to get to the end of this book before I die laughing at the unintended imagery. I’m going back to crime novels after this, I swear
Finished reading another book that was well-paced and quite well-written but, again, I didn’t care at all about the characters and the plot really had no point to it, no tension, no resolution. Really starting to wonder if it’s modern publishing or if I’ve just given up on life
@HazelAppleyard You just know there’s someone out there who got their Harry Potter hand tattoo blacked out and will now spend the rest of their life cosplaying Dumbledore from HBP
I low key resent anyone who tries to ruin Harry Potter for me, whether that be the JKR haters or the people who say the movie actors were terrible. You can’t be my friend while taking away my brain’s emotional comfort food.

@jk_rowling 80 pages of #TheHallmarkedMan left and I’m going to bed. Still having whiplash from a typo that turned a police investigator into an ex-Australian Prime Minister
@TopQuokka@butchstudies@ActiveLesbians@boswelltoday I get that. I know he’s competent and I trust he was best for the job at hand, I just personally found his manner very frustrating and had to keep stepping away.
@butchstudies@ActiveLesbians Do you mean LAG’s barrister or Sall’s? It’s Sall’s barrister who stammers and pauses and makes me rage quit every 10 minutes
I hate the Snape casting as much as anyone but if you’re going to argue the angle that it makes the Marauders racist and complain that it doesn’t honour the source material, you could at least be familiar with the source material. JAMES POTTER DID NOT HANG SNAPE FROM A TREE
@DreyfusJames@jk_rowling This is the same heavy-handed drivel I wrote in my English journal in high school. I, too, thought I was darkly mysterious and deeply (performatively) misunderstood
