i think the reason i love studio ghibli as much as i do is because it encompasses everything i love about life. wearing clothes that make you feel young and free that you can run and jump and climb trees in. the sense of peace that only comes from sitting on a train watching scenes move by the in windows, walking through the city at night, reading on a bench. the way there is so much grief and pain and hardship in each movie, and the world being torn apart but in spite of that, there is wholesomeness and warmth in bowls of noodles and dinner with your family and singing loudly without worrying about what your voice sounds like, and if you love someone enough it doesn’t matter that the world is falling apart around you. it’s about romanticising the little things in life, the hot mug of tea, that moment in the streetlight in the rain, the sunrise looking pretty through your little window; and it’s about the quiet, soft, warm moments you share with other people through those. those the things i cling onto in life, the small moments of joy that make life worth living.
there isn’t . . . there isn’t so i will leave, and run far far away from here . . .

i think the absolute best way to write ron is to make him so calm and easy-going and mellow (in his pov), especially in how he thinks abt himself, the epitome of "i'm just a chill guy :]"
and then you read the subtext/context/what's actually going on Outside his Head and suddenly he's being physically restrained from punching a bitch and getting into all-out public brawls that get them kicked out of stores

mkay dron nation, i present to you: the fic that stemmed entirely from the offhand thought "Ron would have more emotional intelligence than this" while reading a random mention of the sectumsempra scene™ and then summarily took over my entire life.
inspiral
[in which Sirius lives, Harry chills out (relatively), and Ron is forced (by absolutely no one) to pick up the Malfoy-stalking slack.
. . .
Ron was growing weary of Harry and Malfoy circling each other like a pair of feral street cats gearing up for a fight. It reminded him of Mr. Mittens, the raggedy cat Ginny had smuggled home once, and his . . . friend. He sometimes worried that this all might end up like that, what with Harry throwing around wild accusations and Malfoy sneering cryptic shite at them in response. It was ridiculous, but Ron suspected whatever Mr. Mittens had going on back then wasn’t very rational either, and they’d still ended up with a cat, a corpse, and a bloody living room floor.
. . .
Ron paused with his hand reaching for the bathroom door, debating turning back-- back to dinner and his friends and pretending he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
it's. long. this thing. so weekly updates, with ch1 up now💞
He drew in a breath before easing it open. The sound of sobbing -- choking, heaving, desperate -- was no longer muffled by the heavy wood. A high, whiny voice crooned empty platitudes like backing vocals for the world’s most depressing song, and it was with a creeping horror that Ron realized Myrtle wasn’t the one crying.
. . .]
onto the ch1 highlight reel!!

remembered this one school project i did on Lathe of Heaven so here
in memorium of this baddie (george orr):
the og malewife imo
I'm really loving your dron fic, you have a great grasp on their characters! I'm curious, what are your favorite dron fics? Do you have any recs 👀
tysmm<33333
i rlly spend too much time figuring out their personalities! gonna preface this by saying i started writing bc i couldn't find many fics characterizing em in the specific way i like to read em, but my bookmarks list has been waiting for this moment!
lemme go by word count (everything's completed) (im obsessed + feral over every one of these btw):
-> absolutely delicious minific snacks:
-> medium/oneshot length:
-> long-ish but still within 40k:
happy reading!!
me the literal instant i have an original/mildly introspective and/or philosophical thought: now how do i translate this into the fic im writing rn; what fake scenario do i need to create
ok i need to get back to writing. one thing to know about me is that often i write these elaborate aus as a way of expressing a greater breadth of thoughts because im literally incapable of thinking of anything that isn't the hyperfixation so its really surreal to just do it normally because i like my story
Toga, and her girlfriend. 🍓🍋
