My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.
Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.
Just looked at a blog where the header description said 'sometimes I reblog posts I like so I don't forget them'.
And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.
People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.
Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart's content. Or not organize at all, if that's your jam.
Our blogs are intended to be collections of posts, not collections of likes.
things i'm looking forward to:
❥ sitting in the front row of every class
❥ previewing the lectures so i know the content ahead of class
❥ being the classmate everyone wants to sit by b/c i know everything
❥ raising my hand & participating constantly
❥ being the teacher's pet & visiting them during office hours
❥ getting dolled up for class every day
❥ having a different shade of pink folder for each class
❥ stocking up on glittery pencils & pens
❥ using a cute pencil pouch
❥ packing snacks & my 32 oz water bottle daily
❥ studying in the library & distracting boys with my presence
❥ being the classmate everyone hopes they get paired up with for projects & assignments
❥ getting asked to tutor people & to join everyone's study groups
Stop letting your heart and your pussy choose your men.
silly girl—cedric diggory.
summary: based on ‘silly girl’ by chloe moriondo.
word count: i’ll add later. but it’s short.
fanfic no. 049.
flowers bloomed where he walked
angels sang when he talked.
you laid your head down on your pillow as thoughts of cedric diggory saturated each thought in your head, until even in unconsciousness you would be thinking of him. and he would brighten your dreams with a radiant haze, a golden hue, that left you with a faint smile upon your lips as you slept and dreamt.
in your own world, the one where you were happiest and the least alone, cedric was nothing short of perfect, nothing short of wonderful. in this world, the one that didn’t exist, you truly believed there was a chance he could like you back even a fraction of the amount you adored him. you could believe anything in this world and it would come true.
only would you snap back to reality when the smile you cast him across the room went unreciprocated, because he didn’t notice you. if he knew your name, that was as close to being friends as you were and might ever be. but you were so often thinking about him, it felt like you knew him. it was a harsh reality you were faced with when he reminded you day after day you didn’t know him at all.
but in your little world, you knew him.
but that wasn’t really him.
and today, as you sat captivated by the boy who seemed to be surrounded by a golden aura, you sighed heavily, wondering how you could have ever thought someone like him would fall for someone like you. someone who dulled in comparison, someone who was only tepid alongside someone so vivacious.
as class was dismissed, you packed your things slowly, absentmindedly as you caressed your sorrows gently, in the hopes they wouldn’t be too unforgiving, unbeknownst to the group of boys teasing cedric for turning pink. turning to leave, you dragged your heels against the stone floor, intently listening to the odd sound of friction from your own feet that you hardly noticed that of anyone else’s. not even the footsteps running up from behind you.
or your name being called repeatedly.
“y/n!” a voice called, followed by a hand on your shoulder. “blimey, you’re a fast one,” cedric chuckled.
bewilderment was slow to wear off, leading cedric to speak again when faced with your silence.
“are you alright?”
“yeah! are you?” you forced out, wondering if something was wrong or if you’d left something in class.
“yeah. can i carry your books?” he asked, a smile gracing his features.
“why?” you asked curiously.
he scoffed awkwardly. “well i don’t have to,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“no!” you said quickly, shoving your books into his stomach and then turning to walk down the hall again.
cedric snickered a little, but caught up again with your books in his hands, just walking alongside you in silence as he thought about the best way to broach the subject after that encounter.
“do you need the answers for the homework or something?” you asked. “i haven’t finished yet but-”
“no, i don’t,” he interrupted you, but calmed your nerves with a charming smile. “actually i wanted to ask if you had any plans this weekend?”
stopping in front of your next classroom, to which you were five minutes early, you shook your head. cedric stopped too, recognising the charms classroom and asking if this was your next lesson.
“yes,” you replied, and he handed you your books back carefully, fingertips brushing against yours.
“not a bad end to the day,” he commented. “anyway, would you want to go to hogsmeade with me, then?”
“me?!”
“well, yeah. i’m asking you, aren’t i?”
it’s as if you were in your own little world again, a dreamlike state, which forced you to snap the hair tie on your wrist against your skin, wondering if it would startle you awake. but you stayed right where you were, and cedric looked more nervous by the second, the more you inflicted silence upon him.
“are you sure?”
“quite,” he laughed.
before you answered, you looked around the deserted corridors for someone peeking behind a corner and listened carefully to the quietness for the sound of chuckling in the distance. but there was nothing but cedric waiting patiently for your response, rocking between the toes and heels of his feet, hands in his pockets with his shoulders tensed.
“i’d love to,” you said quietly.
“great!” beamed cedric, running a hand through his hair, releasing a breathy laugh.
as students began to filter into the corridor, walking to and from their lessons, cedric kissed you on the cheek before strutting down the hall, leaving you in awe.
“see you saturday, 12pm!” he shouted as he turned around.
but today, thursday at 2:03pm in the afternoon, was the day your own little world and the world you were forced to live in everyday, shifted into each other’s orbit and began to merge together. the day you realised cedric diggory thought of you too.

Belle has Stockholm syndrome because she falls in love with the Beast, her kidnapper.
Stockholm syndrome was coined to slander a woman who had been in a hostage situation but openly criticized the poor police response which recklessly put her in more danger and escalated the violence. She was then belittled and discredited publically by the police for this.
So. Yeah. Maybe Belle does have Stockholm syndrome actually.
