Anakin daddy ,

best fanfic podcast out there!

It’s literally three of the coolest people talking about all book nerd things. What could be better? Love love love them and the show!!

AmandaIsANightOwl ,

🥰 I’m absolutely living for how much fanfics are becoming so mainstream.

So I had to start this from the beginning because I'm so behind on my podcasts, so I wanted to comment about the BHTHK. I actually listened to this on ETL on Spotify and loved it.

People have been commenting that Pansy was in an open relationship with Draco which I don’t think at all. I think Pansy just likes to overshare, although there may have been a bit of an imbalance trying to show friendships between Slytherins and maybe went a touch overboard where there was a disturbing lack of boundaries in their friendships. 😂

Anyway, my comment was merely supposed to be about the question of the ‘two finger flick’.

I actually took that to mean a two finger salute, and it seemed to fit with the context. Now I’m wondering if there is a Pureblood equivalent to Boy Scouts…

It’s great listening to people talk about fanfiction. Thanks so much!
