Sometimes I forget how much my brother and I are Sirius and Regulus variants until a family crisis happens and I'm making jokes and getting tattoos while he's sitting there rolling his eyes and doing shots.
Can you please recommend some other mysme writing blogs?
Hi! I’m glad you asked!I’ve made a few lists of some I liked a while back, but I wanted to make an Official List™ of blogs I really love and update it as I discover new blogs or remember ones I forgot to add!
(I know I already tagged you guys in like 54434 lists like this one but this is the last and final one, I promise!)
So, in no particular order, here are some of my fav Mysme writing blogs, their masterlist/ao3 and my favorite work of theirs!!

It is said that 'Well behaved women seldom make history'. This is commonly taken to mean that in order for a woman to make an impact she has to make noise, she has to rebel against the norm, she has to misbehave. Yet when Laurel Thatcher Ulrich first coined the phrase in 1976 this was not the meaning she had in mind. Well behaved women are important, but they are seldom remembered. Women have been ignored by historian for centuries, dismissed by many men as incapable of great achievement; forgotten.

So much of modern media celebrates the kind of woman that makes noise and rebels against the norm, but let's not forget the quiet women, the ones behind the scenes, the ones that might not be rocking the boat. They can also have an impact. They also matter.
Let's not belittle one kind of woman to uplift another.
I think this is one reason why 2022 Persuasion has angered so many people. The way they changed Anne's character communicates that only one kind of woman is admirable, only one kind of woman deserves to be the heroine of story. It does a disservice to the nuanced, complex, varied personalities and characters and stories of women.
One of my greatest fears is a mundane life.
