Art rec - to chase away those Epilogue blues

[birdsofshore]

I know some of us are feeling a little bit angsty about the Cursed Child publicity revving up this week. I found this art the perfect antidote to my 19 years later blues:

Happily Ever After by anon, at harrydracompreg. I know not all of my flist are into mpreg, but this just shows a gorgeous (and strangely familiar ;)) family scene, nothing to do with pregnancy or birth. It's made me beam and remember how fandom can transform anything, even the bloody Epilogue, into something amazing. H/D, SFW.

Another thing I'd like to say is PLEASE can everyone dream up some beautiful Dracos for us all to enjoy at Draco's party (STARTING IN TWO DAYS at dracomalfoy) so I can think about that, and not whatever horror (I'm expecting bald/ ugly Draco, at the very least) awaits us at Cursed Child.

THANK YOU! ♥

Aww, yes yes! I'm so glad that one was shared today, perfect timing!

I have so many Dracos, ready to go and ready to party and ready for some lovin'! :D :D :D ♥︎

[birdsofshore]

All of my Dracos are longing to come out and play with all of your Dracos ;)

I want a Draco who reads about him going bald/ugly and having some very strong opinions! :D

^^^^^^ This!

I feel fairly sure i already wrote something like this... omg what was it? I will hunt!

But yes! Prompt it!

[birdsofshore]

Ahaha, I KNEW I'd written Draco annoyed with JKR:

I wrote it just after that interview where she said Harry should have married Hermione!

Omg, that is the best! She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!

(that was another Birds ficlet I hadn't read, btw! Hidden gems everywhere, I tell ya!)

[birdsofshore]

Hehehe, if you look at my 'my fic' tag, there's tons of old shite on there ;)

Oh, hell, that was hilarious and perfect! ("Dear Merlin! That's uncalled for. I think you should alert the Aurors, Harry. Or even a Healer. Perhaps she needs help." 'Perhaps she needs help.' SNORT. So good.) It made me sigh happily at the end, because THAT'S the way to deal with that sort of stuff. Hahah. Thanks for finding that and for the art rec in the post itself.

[birdsofshore]

Haha, thank you! I just hope any 'new' info in Cursed Child is forgotten as quickly as we all forgot about Harry/Hermione ;)

[capitu]

Aldkfjlsdfks!!! Now I remember! LOL That crazy Jay Kay Arr and her fanart!

I had forgotten she said that. I probably made a mental block on the whole thing though, most likely. Sometimes I do that. XD

[birdsofshore]

Heh, I knew Draco had an opinion on things JKR says ;)

I'd forgotten, too... I just hope we forget about any new stuff she says in Cursed Child that we don't like, as easily!

I'm living in a CCWCC world for now. I don't see that changing. Join me! <33

*DIES LAUGHING*

we have to make this a thing you can leave on things that have slayed you. But how the fuck do we explain the context? LOLOL

[lq-traintracks.livejournal.com]

Ikr? :-D Well, at least I know I can do it to you and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. ;-) ;-) Omg, that is just one of the best comments I've ever heard of! I want to make someone's limbs LITERALLY fall off! Priceless!!!

[amorette.livejournal.com]

It is really beautiful art ^^

[birdsofshore]

I was thinking of you when I saw it! I hope you're doing OK today. ♥

[amorette.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you <3 I am doing SO much better and feel much more relaxed and at peace :D I think the vent sesh (and everyones lovely sweet comments) really helped get the vast majority of my angst off my chest.

Xxxxxx

[birdsofshore]

That's good news. I felt better today (especially remembering all that hoohah about when JKR said Harry should have got together with Hermione, and how we all forgot about it pretty much straight away, LOL). But then they said that there would be more cast reveals tomorrow (Thurs) and i feel sure it will be Draco. I've got the lump back in my throat again.

[amorette.livejournal.com]

I wonder if Draco will even play a major role in this script. I would almost rather he didn't, because I know JKR wrote him with the intention of his being an antagonist, so I feel like if she includes him and the Malfoys it will just be painful to watch. I feel like it might almost be better if she ignores Draco, and he isn't really a part of Albus' story.

Or else it's like she KNOWS there is UST between Harry and Draco and keeps throwing them together to make more UST and more tension and more feels. XD

Maybe she's a secret shipper after all and this is all emotional porn to her.
