Some idiot: "Why are you reading your own fic, that's shallow and stupid"
All fanfic writers and writers everywhere: "Who the fuck do you think I wrote it for?!"
yeah “i can teach you” is kind and gentle and warm and comforting. it’s also hot. right
Gonna tell my kids this was Katherine of Aragon and Henry VIII.
so many of my shows ended so poorly over the years but not cobra kai no they gave my blorbo the happiest ending he could receive and then they blew up the toxic old man yaoi couple literally with a lit cigar on a yacht i genuinely couldn't have asked for anything better than that
i like the flavor of harry where he adopts some of the dursley's bad habits... i've always really liked how book harry is depicted because he's so painfully human whether it was intentional or not. but there was a moment in DH that makes me think alot
There was a sudden, deafening roar from somewhere nearby.
Harry straightened up with a jerk and smacked the top of his head on the low door frame. Pausing only to employ a few of Uncle Vernon’s choicest swear words, he staggered back into the kitchen, clutching his head and staring out of the window into the back garden.
i like this idea alot, that harry doesn't like the dursleys, and doesn't think they're good at all, but still can't help siphoning some of the traits they have. how can he not? he grew up with no one but them for years, alot of abused kids subconsciously adopts some of their abusers traits/habits. it doesn't make them an abuser, it's just another unregulated thing that needs to be conscious of because it was so normal for them
my harry is also a very angry kid too...so much anger in this boy
“life is short, do that hedonistic thing!”
yes but have you considered that eternity is so very very long?
What am I even still doing here?
I cannot relate to the majority of SW fandom, and probably never will due to the pervasive influence of Disney SW (my beloathed). I have never viewed Star Wars as a 'franchise', but rather as a singular story, told in its completion via the Skywalker saga (1977-2005). (‘It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it.’) My very strong opinion is that everything else, whether it be from the Lucas-era or the Dark Times Disney period, has always been just supplementary material. Other fans may claim to feel the same, but I struggle to believe it because sooo many people now view the Prequels and the Original Trilogy in the context of the Disney content, instead of the other way around. Supplementary material means it's supposed to uphold or augment the meaning of the core story, not alter it beyond recognition. Of course people can enjoy all the Disney stuff they want, but I cannot have meta-textual discussions with fellow fans if their reference point is 'Star Wars' as a never-ending franchise rather than as a very specific story that's been complete for nearly 20 years.
sexiest thing a character can do is drag their past around like it's a dead body tied to their ankles
