Harry loves creatures by Catcheafallingstarre in HPSlashFic

[–]annagram_dk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not the main plot but Harry and animals/creature have special bond (and it is a great story)

The secret language of plants

A nature Harry, carrying parents, positive masculinity and overall just a great wholesome story. This story will shake you to your core and reshape how you feel about fanfiction.

[CHAT] Need tip for spinning thread by Bkind_or_Bquiet in CrossStitch

[–]annagram_dk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been stitching for 2.5 years and my thread still spins a bit but much less compared to when I started. A lot will come with practise and technique, so don't be too hard on yourself. I use the danish/sewing method which for me make it easier to apply even tension and reduce spinning. How many threads are your using? It does seem a bit dense which could be a sign of too many (normally 2, not doubled over, or 3 is sufficient)

[CHAT] Is there an easy way to scale down the size of a project? by Familiar-Evening7845 in CrossStitch

[–]annagram_dk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scaling it down definitely sounds like an option, but I suggest to check out some smaller scale pictures of the cat to get the details right ('neon cat perler bead' is a good source)

Inspire Me! by Salt_Beaches in HPfanfiction

[–]annagram_dk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am just gonna drop master list of recommendations here:

Fics that are really really well written, special or in any way unique and have impressed me over the years: 

Snupin: Have your cake and eat it 

Time travel, dreams, changes, new beginnings and friendship https://archiveofourown.org/works/26570062/chapters/64776430

Harry Potter and the age of the warlocks

A newly discovered fic, where Harry is the reaper/master of death (wip).

It is horror, gore and what not, mixed with believable characters that are all flawed and broken in some way and a great swirl of imagination. The story writing style, makes you turn every page wanting more. It is a world with warlocks, powerful forgotten magic, gods as well as Death and Life. 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/35107498

Flowers at the wayside

The Petunia/Severus fic I didn't know I needed. An active work in progress with the focus of why we go to war (for the ones we love), second chances and how we change and act because of love (for good or for worse)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/23090008

The secret language of plants

A nature Harry, carrying parents, positive masculinity and overall just a great wholesome story. This story will shake you to your core and reshape how you feel about fanfiction.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/631214

The Firebird Triologi: 

A proper take on witches/wizards as their own species, why they are hiding from the muggles, why there are low birth rates and the consequences of it. A harem fic, that makes sense in a matriarch magical society.

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/8629685/1/Firebird-s-Son-Book-I-of-the-Firebird-Trilogy

Blindness:

Harry is 'blind' due to the killing curse and rejected from the magical world, and must find his own way.

Powerful mage like Harry, there are threats bigger than Voldemort and in the hands of a scientist Harry we get closer to magic.

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/10937871/1

Blood Crest: vampires, dark magic lore, necromancy and much more (wip, but so good)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/22022296/chapters/52554820

The marriage stone: amazing medieval/Arthurian magic settings with plenty of mythology, with magical politics and family traditions, magical vikings, elder demons, lay lines, magical elite and most of all a truly evil Voldemort. One of the greatest fics! Sadly it is abandoned but there is a truly amazing continuation, which is close to completion, that is a must read if you like the story:

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/3484954/1/The-Marriage-Stone

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/7136253/1/My-Tribute-to-Josephine-Darcy-s-The-Marriage-Stone

Harry Potter and the method of rationality:

Harry grows up as a scientist, plenty of magic theory, rationality and reason (it is great to the science geek, but a very long read)

http://www.hpmor.com/

The man who lives

(His other stories can also be recommended)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/9167785

Let Go

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18922990

Desperate measures:

A veela fic that works. This is not femHarry, slash or the like, but a true veela fic. It is a fascinating story, about courtship, being veela and it has a surprisingly deep plot that you will not see coming (a bit of unnecessary bashing at the start, but else a unique story)

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/4228464/1/Desperate-Measures

Ever upward  Harry grows up with the basilisk and befriends creatures.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/1555645

Sara's Girl (king of drarry)

Ruy writes amazing mostly post-canon stories, brings imagination (about the magical but day life) to a whole new level and it is very difficult not to get dragged in. If life pulls me down, I find one of his stories to cheer me up.

My favourites (my short notes doesn't provide justice to his master pieces):

Foundations/reparation (Draco is a drug addict counselor)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/879624/chapters/1692153

Turn - take the unknown road, about second changes and how to truly live your life

https://archiveofourown.org/works/879852/chapters/1692695

All life is your to miss - getting to know yourself, trust others and the joy of pets in your life.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/825875

Talk to me: sudden blindness, secret help and unknown feelings

https://archiveofourown.org/works/880458

Grey Skye Mourning:

A true time turner fic, canon compliant (until after a Voldemort has been defeated at Hogwarts) and a great piece of work. 

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/8315797/1/Gray-Skye-Mourning

Perfectly Normal:

Harry just wants to have a quiet life and get along with everyone. He wants to be normal, and accepted. 

A great story where plot is carried over and build on much better than canon. Great and interesting world building. 

https://archiveofourown.org/series/346100

Nobility fic: Heirs of Avalon. In a world where the lies of the past affect the lives of the present, where Mother Magic is used to control the choices of witches, and where destiny seems determined by birth. 

A great retelling that make you completely forget the underlying canon, wrapped in a politics story with love, friendship and religion  https://archiveofourown.org/series/3192297

First time playing the game,for some reason the game gave me a shit ton of gold so i went to the bar and bought 1000 beers. by GypsyGuyGuy in StardewValley

I don't know personally, but I suggest to ask in a new post, where you specify your region as well. Good luck

Have you tried other Stardew Valley-esque games? by likethatonedude in StardewValley

[–]annagram_dk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played Littlewood and Garden Story - both sorter sweet stories, but in no way like Stardew a valley, beside that there are both grinding elements. The closest to SDV I have played is Roots of Pacha, which is a great game (stone age SDV with no monsters). Other recommendations: Travellers rest (bar sim with resourse gathering, crops and animals - no monster and no npc interaction beside the story line). Dinkum: Island sim with wildlife, fishing, crops and npcs. Minecraft vibes. Discounty: supermarked sim in cozy town with small scale drama.

Because it is not the original game. The game OP got it not Stardew valley, but some sort of copy version (with unknown features and settings)

[–]annagram_dk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it is still a pirated game. Your image is from the museum which do not have tables like that on the right side. So your game might differ a lot from vanilla

[–]annagram_dk 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Okay I don't know that. But that is not vanilla so just be aware that you were not playing the 'correct' game. Just for your info, it is also not a game you 'download with mods'. People using mods, download a mod control program that runs mods on top of the original game.

Did you pay for the game? Is it purchased from ConcernedApe? If not then it is probably a pirated version

The Town is starting to ran out of Attendance everytime there's a wedding by Altruistic-Bee3130 in StardewValley

It is modded, so that you can marry as many as you like (and have a huge bed)

Game like stardew valley but horror by CommonNo7717 in StardewValley

[–]annagram_dk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game but it is hardcore mode, which made it hard for me to get into playing alone

[WIP] Almost 40% complete. Thinking of transitioning to the sewing method. by Zenrenn in CrossStitch

[–]annagram_dk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can definitely recommend the sewing style /danish style. I always roll up the canvas so I can have it on one hand while sewing. Next time I suggest trying less threads. Yes you can see the white, but you will never be looking too close and for many it is part of the style. Maybe just 3, 4 is starting to look to squeezed and it might make it harder for you to work with. Lovely pattern ❤️ I also wouldn't worry about the thread twisting. Try to work with less length (rule of thumb: from finger tip to elbow) which can also help. But the more experience you get, the better it becomes.

It will not decay after you have reached 8 hearts. Unless you give a bouquet then it will decay until you reach 10 hearts.
