Stop, drop and flail

I-- I don't know what this is. How-- I-- ? There used to be words, and sentences, and things, and now there's just THIS ART.

It's the hand. Harry's hand, and Draco's wand, and OMG THE TROUSERS, but the HAND, NGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH, I just-- OH GOD WHYYYY, I USED TO HAVE A LIFE AND NOW THIS.

I was good and resisted posting it here full size so that you can all go to tumblr and worship the artist in person. But really I want to wallpaper my house with it. Or just my retinas. I could have it surgically implanted on my retinas, yes?

It has been quite a while since anything got me right in the feels like this, like I'm just FIZZING with H/D and my entire body is just a ball of SLASHY FANGIRL ECSTASY, and it just won't stop.

Draco's arse. It's some form of Dark magic. But the hand, though. *whimper*

How the bony hand of a fictional gay wizard brought 20,000 squealing fangirls to their knees ;)

And Rai's right -- it's how straight Draco's back is, how unsoft his submission, the wand tight in his hand, his HAIR falling like that, the arch of his bared neck, the upturn of his left arm, Harry's INTENT, their perfect clothes and how posh and punk and dark and beautiful it all is and it's just fucking incredible.

I hate Tumblr! I can't comment! I hope she comes here and sees all this! I want that as my desktop background!!!! *DROOLS ALL OVER SELF*

The cultures are very different--on tumblr it's all about liking and reblogging. You can sorta comment by reblogging and adding text to your reblog. The benefits of that system are that it more easily discourages trolls, and can keep the dialogue going over a wider network and the original poster can track it.
But of course, the drawback is that you can't as easily leave simple comments and have a straightforward conversation. LJ is all about comments. But I do wish sometimes that there was a "like" button here :)

I know, fucking tumblr. You can message her. But we need to be able to love all over her, and you just can't. 16,000 notes or whatever must feel pretty incredible, but it's so impersonal. I'd rather have 10 or 20 really amazing comments and the chance to TALK to the people who like my stuff.
