PROMPTING IS OPEN AT weasleyjumpers!!!

Very low-stress, self-posting fest format.

Y'all please go leave some prompts so I can stop? You know mine are only to get filthier the more I'm allowed to go on.

In crochet news, I have made...

( yet another bag )

Three Yellow Things Right Now...

1. A recent scrap yarn bag, crocheted in panels and sewn together with whipstitching and single crochet:



Definitely went my own way on this one, but I think it paid off. Best crochet advice I ever got: "Put your hook somewhere. Draw up a loop. Do something with it." I think that approach speaks to many creative endeavors.



2. My favorite Hufflepuff! This war hero and Auror right here, in all his cocky, shoulder-padded glory, who's about to have his arse handed to him by his brother's girl:

UNF.

I can't wait to get more Theseus canon. I was lukewarm on Newt in the first FB movie. It took Theseus to make me fall in love with Newt, and now they're a package deal. I love that they show us two very distinct types of Hufflepuffs — Mr. Straight and Narrow and Rebel With a Cause. An exciting dynamic when the two come together.

And Newt playing Theseus? Perfection. Mad props to Callum Turner in that scene.



3. Highlighting

I don't use it in books. Pencil underlining is for books. But I use it in my writing process as I throw ideas at the page. It's for those stray ideas that aren't quite right, but I'd better leave them for now, just in case. And make it so I can easily maneuver around them.

(Example from a WIP here, linked for kink negotiation related to consent play. Yup, realized pretty quickly that angle didn't need to be there, LOL! But just in case....)

It's also for those bits that I know are self-indulgent and going too far. But darlings!! Highlighted for my amusement until I'm forced to kill them.


Thanks for stopping by! Who's your favorite Hufflepuff? Are you a highlighter? Click that banner up top and join me!

Got me some cards in hopes of jump-starting the ole muse!

Before I post them, let me just point you in the direction of seasonofkink, in case you're not already aware or involved. Their Bingo card event is obligation-free with a posting period that goes through September 30th. You can request a card here if you're interested.

( the cards! )


As always, I welcome idea-bouncing in the comments if you have additional prompts or pairings or something in my wheelhouse that you'd like to see for any of the squares.

Wishing everyone well.
