⚜On the wings of the night amidst the stars ⚜

So I just had a thought that I felt absolutely needed to be written out here.

I'm so, so glad that Ginger, my tender baby girl, never even remotely got into the position of having to dance/ work with him but can you guys imagine what it would've been like if for literally any reason (likely by force) Ginger would've ended up in a movie or other project together with Gene Kelly!!??! 😁😄🤣 Can you imagine!? I wonder who would've been the first one with a black eye! 😂 It would not have taken a whole day, if that, for them both to end up in a brawl! And Ginger is not one to shy away from an argument. And therefore I'm especially glad that she didn't because I'm not sure exactly how much reserve Gene Kelly would've had and that might have ended badly for Ginger.

This scenario fascinates me and I think it would be absolutely perfect for a fanfiction. It's like the scenario that I didn't know was missing but now I really see how it's the one that has always been missing from my Old Hollywood-life. I can envision this story that keeps on giving and of course we want a feel good story, so Fred to the rescue (obviously)!! 😃😊🥰

Yoo, I found a music that positively fits hand in glove with Fred&Ginger and generally with one of their dances!! I'm not sure if YouTube would let me upload it though. I could probably also make more of this but the way it goes simply with the video with nothing more added at the moment is so beautiful in my eyes! 😃🥰

The story I'm writing is coming along really nicely, I'm surprised by how easily I can write it, it just flows. :) I enjoy writing it and that's why I thought that maybe I should post it still. So it is a Fred&Ginger story actually. Even though I have about 7 other stories from a few other fandoms going as well but I have to wait until I can continue writing them in the right way.

This one is really not pretty in a sense, it is super dark and not for cute, fluffy readings in the evening. I am currently writing it because I still like it for what it is and because I'm curious where it will take me and the characters, so to speak.

I will edit it and post it this evening, seeing how the fandom is so small, maybe it's worth trying. I don't think it is likeable as a character progression but it is interesting and challenging. And if people dislike it a lot I can just delete it and keep writing for myself. :)

Not that I ever get annoyed by the aggressive Snape hate on the internet at all (I actually do 🤧) but I feel like some perspective is genuinely needed.

I can't hear the 100th regurgitation of why Harry shouldn't have named his son Albus Severus and how people don't accept it and how it is ugly and crazy and whatnot. Might I suggest the wild possibility that Harry Potter actually has the ability to genuinely empathise with Snape? That which the people who endlessly rile about him just cannot see or feel Harry does and that's why he chose that name with intent and not just with pathos? The name Albus is another topic to discuss but really Harry seems to be able to see Snape from an angle that made him want to do that and call a child of his this name until his own passing. I don't think that was a crude or promotive act. I think Harry felt Snape beyond the surface. Whether people accept this or not, Harry was at the receiving end of Snape's bullying but somehow he was able to let go of his pain related to this experience. Maybe because he recognized a genuine love, I don't know. But I have faith that he had good reason to feel like these are the names that he wanted and they were right for him.

I went to a monastery today, it was quite beautiful. 🥰 I've been there when I was 13 years old and we went on a school trip with our class. There is an adventure camping right next to it and we slept in tipis back then and did some kayaking during the day. It was amazing even though I was not popular to put it mildly. But I had an amazing time walking around the monastery in the evening, that was magical. ❤

And today we went there again with my family and it's still lovely, I hope to visit it again when it's more quiet there, hopefully in May because nature is so especially beautiful around there, it's also right next to a river. 🥰💚🌱

Now I'm totally exhausted because I didn't sleep much last night and still I'm quite happy and my mind is full of ideas for 3 of my fanfictions and I have no strength to write it all. 🥴😪 So fun!!! 😅😂😁

Yesterday I started a new fanfiction and I'm so curious about that, it is set in the 'Harry Potter'-world but so far there are no characters from the books appearing, I'm not even sure if this is somewhere close to Hogwarts or not. I'm so into medieval music at the moment, Minnesang especially, this is all somehow working in favour of my story. I'm very curious where this will go and yes, why not have a 4th fanfiction to work on while the others are exasperatedly waiting to be continued. ;)

I would really like to share this story for all the Snape-fans and 'Harry Potter'-fans out there!

It's a beautiful and very well-written story with an OC and delightful references to art and history. It's a colourful and beautiful world to me and I wanted to share that if you like fanfictions like this too. It features Pureblood society, which is a personal favourite of mine. 💝

I hope you may enjoy it, I very much love the author's stories, they're basically usually novel-length. :)

I kind of have a feeling that the reason Snape took on stuff like the unbreakable vow was not just because he wanted to do good in his very difficult way and because he had compassion for women and children on some level and because he didn't fear death. I have the distinct notion that the hand he extended for the unbreakable vow was also a hand he took. Not consciously I think but certainly subconsciously. It was the hand of a woman who offered him a way out, who offered him a way to die. I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't have killed himself because he would consider this weakness and he seems to despise weakness deeply. He also didn't want to die in a useless way I would think, just dying of a random illness or something was probably not his first choice even though I think it's not far fetched that he had suicidal tendencies since his childhood and who could blame him, there wasn't much love in his life ever.

But dying for a good cause, something he himself considers good and worthy, now that's another thing. I think he loved his mother and I think he had a comparatively good relationship with her even though it probably wasn't that close. But seeing this theme reappear in his life I would just dare to make that claim.

And I think he really couldn't deal with his big negative feelings and there was so much hopelessness, so I think dying a hero was, from his standpoint, really the best way out.

One more thing on the fandom front, especially for the X-files related stuff at the moment - I'm only here for the funny, cool and reasonable stuff. I still remember a fandom experience from 2004 and I do not wish to slide downhill with the current stuff. I don't want any of the oversexualization that gets projected onto Mulder&Scully as well, to me that's extremely distasteful. I want to enjoy those fantasy worlds, they don't have to reflect the crazy and deranged stuff from our current world. If you've seen my "Harry Potter"-posts, you might notice that this is my general stance. Heavy emotional subjects are not a problem and were part of "The X-files" back in the day too. But I'm definitely not indulging the perversion of those characters and fiction in general. Thank you for your respectfulness.

Why is there so little 'Mulder protects/ saves Scully'-fanfiction, much less good ones!? I'm so tired of seeing pages upon pages of senseless smut-stories, I don't wanna read them! Why is there not pages upon pages of cool alternative episode stories or missing scenes!?!?? Why is the focus constantly on the snogging and the making out, this is exceedingly boring 90% of the time.

I can't understand why there aren't more people feeling the need to read something good about episodes like "The List" or "Detour" or "Gender Bender"??? There is so much space and potential to fill some missing scenes or take an interesting and different road plot-wise and explore that. I can't imagine I'm the only one who would love to read things like these. At least there are some nice Amish-Xfiles-fanfictions out there, that I personally like.

I've been thinking about it and I'm not quite sure if that's canonically possible but I think there was another option for Snape in regards to the prophecy and trying to save Lily's life.

I don't know if he hadn't thought about it or if he really didn't feel like he could do more about it but if he couldn't get you-know-who to spare her and couldn't get Dumbledore to protect her with certainty then the only logical option would be to go to Godric's Hollow on that night and give his own life. At least stand between Lily and Voldemort and try everything he personally could to protect her at this point. I don't know if it would've saved her life or Harry's but I have no doubt that he wouldn't have hesitated to give his life that night, so I don't know why he didn't. It is basically what he eventually did for Harry through the years anyways.

I don't know if you other Snape/ Harry Potter-fans out there think this would be a real possibility but I couldn't help but think about it. I'd love to hear other opinions on this though. 😊

I've had a lot of thoughts about "Harry Potter" things recently, which is certainly very related to the fact that living life is not very easy right now.

However, there is one thing I wanted to share because it continues to blow my mind! 😉😄

J.K. Rowling had originally been offered to play a role in the "Harry Potter"-movies herself. She declined, which I can understand and I think it was a good choice since she is the one who brought this story to us wonderfully but she is not the one in it, I do like this distinction, if you know how I mean that. Anyways, the role she was offered was Lily Potter! And I can't get over that for so many reasons! I'm a Snape fan so this is obviously huge and I can't help imagining how this would've gone had she decided to accept the role. Soooooo many thoughts and emotions about this! But also about all the other aspects that would've had. Imagine her in the Mirror of Erised. Imagine her in the forest. Oh man, I'm on the verge of tears just thinking about it. What a scenario to imagine!

And also one more thing that makes me all emotional and that I think about from time to time - J.K. Rowling actually played with the idea for a while to have Dudley appear in the epilogue on Platform 9 3/4. With a magical kid.

All in all, thinking about that, I'm just so glad that we have fanart and fanfiction, even though I don't like quite a few aspects of what is being written & drawn today. But still, I consider it a great gift what the fan community is able to realize, it's a miracle in its own way. 💚

I had a cool thought yesterday - what if the "Harry Potter"-series would've been filmed during the Golden Age of Hollywood? 😄📽🎞

Who would you cast in those roles? I know it's a little difficult because you'd need a lot of younger actors too but really anyone you could think of would be really interesting!!! 😃😊🍀

Please do share your ideas. I'll start with a spontaneous idea I thought of yesterday - Basil Rathbone as Severus Snape! 😁👍🏻 And maybe Audrey Hepburn as Luna Lovegood and also maybe with some generous interpretation Katharine Hepburn as Professor McGonagall. 😊

What do you think?

(Also it makes you realize how incredibly lucky it was and what an amazing endeavour it was to have all of those actors together for the real "Harry Potter" films, who were able to portray the characters so well. 💚)

J.K. Rowling said that and I think it is a good start as an observation but it needs some further addition to it.

Snape loved the beauty and goodness he sensed in Lily without seeing it in himself. Despite of his own doe patronus, I might add. That was his tragedy.

That's just my opinion and Snape is really good as a character to make this theme visible, we maybe all experience it to some extent, burying our own "golden shadow" in other people and admiring them. ;) I have so much to say on this topic but I just wanted to mention this about Snape because I came across this specific theme in some fanfiction lately and found it important on a human level.
