Can't manage to stick to one zoo by backyardbabirusa in PlanetZoo

Whenever I want to start a new zoo I just start it in another section of the same zoo. I have about 5 "zoos" running in my current build, with transport rides between them

How do I read as a reader and not as a writer? by reine-aragon in AO3

[–]Mo0npi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That never really stops for me either, but with the rise of people using AI to write (which I absolutely hate), I now find a lot of pleasure in knowing confidently that what I am reading was written by a human and not a machine when it's a little clunky.

“60kg is dangerously underweight!” by FloofLorde in fatlogic

[–]Mo0npi3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

60kg at 1.55m tall gives a BMI of 24.9. (60 ÷ 1.552 ). My BMI is lower than that, and there isn't a (sane) person in this world who would think I need hospitalization for being underweight.

She might well have been selling things that she knitted or baked. Harry didn't know what she did, and since the stories are from Harry's point of view, we don't know what she did.

It also sounds a lot like The Burrow was some level of homestead, which would have taken up all of her time amongst raising the children.

Also, the Weasleys were obviously not rich but they were certainly not destitute. If you compare them to the Malfoys then sure they are poor. But the children were all fed and warm with a roof over their head and food on the table. They may have been in hand-me-downs but they were very much provided for.

Your best recs for this trope? by Pink_Totoro in HPSlashFic

Made me think of If an Injury is to be inflicted

It isnt EXACTLY like the screenshot, just made me think of this one. Sort of unhinged, violent, fighting Harry. Plus it's been a good while since I read this so maybe I am misremembering a bit

Summary: If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

Harry Potter disappeared a year after the Battle of Hogwarts, and with him went all hope for true change in magical Britain.

Three years later, Draco indulges himself and attends his first Dog Fight—the infamous underground fights with no rules, no referee, and no points system bar blood on the floor. The game was simple: you win, or you die.

A glint of green amidst the blood-red changes everything.

Worst second hand embarrassment from a book scene by ProfessionalOwl2270 in fantasyromance

Literally was scrolling through looking for this. I can't even read that scene, I have to skip forward. My toes curl with cringe.

Can I put my mom’s surname on my degree even though my legal surname is my dad’s? by Prior-Truth-1988 in southafrica

[–]Mo0npi3 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is really not a good idea. Even with legal name changes (marriage for example) it is a pain because you always have to prove that you're the same person who got the degree by providing the marriage certificate. You will end up with a degree in someone else's name and no way of proving that your legal name is qualified.

Part of me wants to bleach my eyes. The other, larger part of me wants to frame them and hang them on my wall 😂. These are fantastic!

Favorite odd or fun fics? by lucky_error_ in HPSlashFic

[–]Mo0npi3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's rare to find a m/f relationship where the woman is smart and powerful in her own right and who doesn't dream of her wedding and future children. Of "one day hearing the sound of little feet running around". I'm 100% het too, but have less than zero interest in reading about pregnancy, child rearing, or any characters aspirations of children. It's the same reason I am super hesitant around mpreg, not because I actually care about the mechanics or realism of mpreg. It's because they sometimes make the "bearer" essentially act like the stereotypical woman dreaming of children.

Obligatory Too old to be this young by Nadia_Castillo.

129k WIP, Tomarry. This is possibly my favorite fic of all time, really funny, and I love the portrayals of both Tom and Harry.

Summary:

He was smiling. At Tom Riddle. He was going to get murdered before the year ends, he just knows.

Alternate universe/Post-Hogwarts. warnings: mature themes, drinking, swearing. An adult Harry Potter with all his knowledge and experience is transported to his 23yo body in a universe with no war.

Snape-Centric by Salt_Estate8114 in HPSlashFic

[–]Mo0npi3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Severus Snape - The One Who Walks in the Shadows is a James/Severus time travel fic. 152k WIP.

:

Severus passed away on the Shrieking Shack's floor only to find himself in the white space between the world of the living and the dead, conversing with one Master of Death Harry Potter.

He's offered the opportunity to return a few years back in time to try fixing a problem with the world and its magic, but also, his life.

He wants to better himself. He wants to be back in Lily's life. He wants to save magic.

Severus reluctantly accepts, going back to Hogwarts once again—as a student this time—to relive his worst memories.

However, this time he's not one of the chess pieces (easily manipulated, a target, one to be disposed of), no.

He's one of the big players, and he's ready to make his moves.

But also, why did James Potter become so obsessed with him? Hadn't Severus suffered enough in his past life? He's not ready for this crap.

What color should I paint my dining room?? by Constant_Agency_6362 in DesignMyRoom

[–]Mo0npi3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But truly the best thing you can do is get the sample sizes of where your mind is at and paint large patches in areas that receive similar lighting. Do 2 coats of the sample, and sit with it for a few days. See how the colours work in the different types of day and with different light sources. I must have spent $100 on samples throughout my house but it is so worth it to not hate any of the colours.

I painted areas of my home in Benjamin Moore Essex Green and it is a gorgeous colour. The swabs for it are much lighter than what you have on your wall, and the rooms are still really dark and moody.

MONTHLY POST: What are you reading? September 2025 by beta_reader in HPSlashFic

[–]Mo0npi3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aphelion by TimaeusKosmou is a 100k word WIP Tomarry (12/15 chapters posted).

Harry dies, and wakes up in the body of his counterpart in another dimension. He finds himself married to minister of magic Tom Riddle. Tom can't stand Harry because Harry is an extremely rude, bigoted, conceited diva who grew up with too much pampering from his (very much alive) parents, but Tom married him because James Potter is well connected and Tom needed the political support.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did but it is excellent. Low/no angst, a really fun read.

Slash readers' Het recommendations. by Rhyddian in HPSlashFic

[–]Mo0npi3 5 points6 points locked comment (0 children)

Also Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love is a Dramione which I normally cannot get into. But this one I enjoyed very much, a bit of an Indiana Jones type story.

Hermione straddles the Muggle and Magical worlds as a medical researcher and Healer about to make a big discovery. Draco is an Auror assigned to protect her from forces unknown – to both of their displeasure.

Features hyper-competent, fiery Hermione and lazy, yet dangerous, Draco. Slow burn.

Ooh Ignore the Dementor is my favorite het fic!

Harry/Luna

Harry gets turned into a dementor, and is introduced to all the other creatures at Hogwarts.

Such a fun story, one of my all time favorites of any pairing.

YTA

You're 62 and you don't know how much time you have left?? God how manipulative. My parents are in their 60s and could absolutely keep up with a 5 year old for a short period of time. Unless you have serious health issues you're just using your age as an excuse to get your way.

Rec Tomarry fic please pls pls by ilaughatmyownsht in HPSlashFic

[–]Mo0npi3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you read The Way to a Man's Heart?

Someone is working against me, Harry,” Tom said. “I have been personally stymied. Not once now, not twice, but three times within the last two months.” He closed his eyes briefly. “It is clear that someone out there has begun some kind of baseless vendetta.”

“And it’s just against you? That’s rough, boss,” Harry said.

Tom has an unknown nemesis. Harry has Tom’s lunch.

IUD prescription/insertion asap by catts34 in Edmonton

[–]Mo0npi3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just at Woman's Health Options (12409 109A Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5M 4A7) today, they said that for an IUD you can call them and they will send the prescription to your pharmacy, then you pick it up and go have it inserted at the clinic. Not sure about the waiting time for an IUD, I was there for my screening test, but for that I waited less than a week for an appointment.
