Each tick slammed into the person but they knew that the sound would never end, at least it hadn't stopped since they could remember. They still couldn't filter out the sound and it had taken an effect on them. Their movements had become mechanical, and their speech almost robotic in cadence. And yet no one they confided in believed that the sound was real.
They counted each tick instead of sheep as they drifted uneasily to sleep. Though as the sun crested the mountains, and as they were roused from their sleep, they became violently nauseous. The frequency of ticks per minute had increased.

//Note: I haven't been able to write much recently due to school and working on writing both a game engine (I've been working on it for around two years and it finally is in a state I can make a game with it) and a game. But I will try to reserve time to work on writing more writing prompts. I have an idea for the next one, I just need to get to writing it :)

//Note: I apologize for the post formatting. I copy the text from neovim (which is what I use to write) into the post body and for some reason it doesn't word wrap within phtn.app

So I recently decided to watch Paranormal Activity, a horror film that usually would have me curling up in a blanket at the ungodly hour of 3am that I started watching it, but I heard "demon" and all I could think was "pffftt the Winchester brothers would need just 20 minutes to get rid of that thing" and then couldn't take the movie seriously after that, so much so that I slept to it, haha.

The Post Supernatural Horror Immunity (my personal name for it) is very much a real thing lol

Which fanfic has the hottest Ron, according to you?

I absolutely hate cheating but I loved this fic so much!!!! I want to see Ron's characterization like that again in other fics.

Have you read it?

I remember reading this fanfic about ron meeting hermione's parents. the whole thing was a chess metaphor and hermiones dad and ron played a chess game when they met for the first time in which ron won. it was a lovely fic and I can't seem to find it.

Best Romione fics with Domestic Fluff, Please.

Any recs are appreciated :)

Before opening their eyes, they felt around their face to see if they were still wearing sunglasses. They silently cursed as they weren't able to find what they were looking for. With nothing else to do they hesitantly opened their eyes, and were surprised to be greeted by a cool darkness.
There seemed to be a crowd gathered around them, but either due to what had caused them to pass out, or due to being overwhelmed, the noise was a distorted drone that didn't feel all that pleasant to be surrounded in. They sat up, the lightness of their body distracting them for an instant, then looked around. Faces smooshed and bunched together around them, but when they opened their mouth to ask the crowd to give them some space, the realized they couldn't speak.
A bit frightened, they looked down and realized they were looking at themself, or rather a cadaver of themself.
*Ah, so I'm dead.*
The thought didn't scare them as much as they thought it should, but it could be because they were still overwhelmed by the buzzing crowd.
Suddenly, their dark world lit up, as if a light switch had flipped on. They quickly shielded their eyes, and after a moment, decided to see what was making all the light.
Directly above them was a beautiful sphere that could only be described as perfect. And for some reason they knew that everything they ever wanted would be given to them if they went to the light. The pull was as strong as any bug towards a streetlight. And they felt their body slowly lift above the ground.
*everything I ever wanted* traced itself lazily around the inside of their head. But the closer they got the more they noticed the pain. Light — always — hurt.
A deep fear pulled the thoughts, as if unmasking them, causing the traveler to quickly flip around and start clawing towards the ground. Somewhere between a few minutes and a few hours passed, and then the light vanished.

I've been wondering for a while. As a staunch Ron defender, I can think of a thousand things he's done good and right. Be it as a friend or more. There was even a recent post listing out the things they want to see Ron doing in the new show and I was so happy with that list!

I was wondering - what are the things Hermione has done to deserve Ron? To make us feel the feels about them?

Romione was my first ship ever so there must have been reasons why I felt she was good for him. But I've been so focused on defending Ron to movie fans that I can't remember any significant details.

Can yall help me with a few moments?

Ron and Hermione have to clean our Filch office.

Hermione then gets cut on the foot with a potion that basically puts her in heat, and Ron has to have sex with her.

Ron was still with Lavender at the time.

Hermione also gets in trouble for hitting Ron.

One of the things that pulled me out of this storyline (aside from the whole entire storyline itself), is that Cole saw Dean off his daddy when he was a kid.

But every time Cole is on-screen, I'm like damn, they look the same age.

Matter of fact Cole looks a little older.

Casting made no sense to me whatsoever.

Also really wish they scrapped this story altogether.

And dude can't act.

Small release, except one notable "fix/feature" is the removal of PMs when a ban happens... I think we all know who that is for...

Enjoy! Feel free to PM if you have any issues at all with the instance. I know I'm a lurker, but I am trying my best to keep the instance humming along.

Working on a likeness sculpt of Dean. I believe it’s come along nicely, but I would love some feedback, and I believe most people here are pretty familiar with the subject. Please, feel free to tear it apart.

It was talked about like a really big deal, and that it dealt a blow towards the Controlled Digital Lending-scheme. IA also had to remove 500k books. But how is Internet Archive able to keep continuing lending out many books as they were before? What were the real consequences of Hachette v. Internet Archive?
