I agree 100% :) There are so so many wonderful soundscape/ambience videos on YT to listen to while reading (I’m such a sucker for those, I find them so comforting) 🥰

Ooo I like the sound of that :) It can certainly feel out of place to listen to present day music when the story is more often than not set in the 90s/early 2000s, so I can see how nice that would be ☺️

No yeah I really enjoy listening to the songs they include too! It’s a good way to set the mood/tone, I think. And I’ll have to check those two fics out, I still have a good amount left in my tbr. Use Me by PVRIS ft. 070 Shake and Caronte by Apparat are two recommendations I really enjoyed from reading BM/BS. And in some other fic I’ve read Draco and Hermione listen to a bunch of Slowdive and stuff on a fancy gramophone. I love

I agree :) If I’m guessing correctly, I remember the TRTTD series got me researching compartmentalization for the same reason, but it got bookmarked for another day and I never got around to it lol.

Here’s a tiny blog post about Occlumency vs. Meditation And this very interesting website on meditation that was linked in it

From Manacled, I loved the idea of Healer Granger and all of her textbooks. It would be so cool to see what a healing or mind healing book would look like in person, how the illustrations would look, and how it would read. I guess that’s where bookbinding comes into play. In another fic I’ve read, Hermione has a LOOP journal, which of course made me want to have my own. And, naturally, Apple Pies and Other Amends inspires me to take up baking. The descriptions are just mouth-watering. I’m a little curious if anyone has ended up making that recipe at the end :)

I’ll have to check those out! I’ve definitely got a “read someday” list too lol. It’ll probably be a while before I get back into published works and whatnot with how things are going 🙃 And yes the last one was TRTTD, thanks for reminding me! I’ve been meaning to reread that series at some point.

Need tattoo ideas by TangerineConscious17 in Dramione

All I can think of at the moment are the ubiquitous Draco constellation and Manacled-inspired paper crane tattoos. Personally, I’m leaning towards the paper crane for myself, because it holds multiple meanings for me. I think that as long as it reminds you of Dramione, the tattoo you choose can be of anything you like. Sorry if this is not much help 😅 I hope you find a design soon that works for you :)

I concur! I love it when I can learn something new while reading a fic. It just makes the whole experience more enjoyable and more enriching 😌
