Pet Whump Tropes!

Maybe the meaning of life is simple, something in front of us and basic. Like reproduction. We're here to grow our species and that's it, but then again, there are people who can't reproduce, does that make them meaningless? If so, why would they be here.

Maybe it's something more naive, like leaving the world better than you found it, but what if someone makes a massive mistake. If they regret it, does it even matter anymore? Are they officially meaningless?

Maybe it's to just live for ourselves, but then why do we have empathy? Why do we feel sad for others if it benefits us?

Okay, so maybe it's to help others and ourselves? But then there are people who cannot feel emotions, people who don't need help, people who cannot help themselves or others, are they meaningless?

Maybe it's more religious, to spread the word of God. To be honest, that makes the most sense to me. We're so uniquely designed, everything is ordered in such a way that it's hard to believe there is nothing in charge of us, maybe there is a God and maybe there isn't, but I'm leaning towards Yes. But then, isn't that what the Bible does? The Q'uaran?

Or perhaps there's no meaning. We're here and now, and nothing matters. That's terrifying, but freeing. At the end of all of this, our souls, which are trapped in our flesh, claw their way out of us, leaving this puppet to be reclaimed by nature, something that will absorb us completely, like a mother to a child. Our souls, minds, our energy and atoms will always be here, even though it doesn't matter. Maybe that's it. We learn, we love, we live, or maybe we don't. We do whatever and eyeball everything because it's everyone's first time living and we don't get second chances.

So go out there. So you chose a bad job, find a new one. Go back to school, explore, travel, play games, get drunk, do whatever, be whatever, because at the end of your life, as your soul rips from your body and bones like a prisoner from a cell, it won't worry about anything here, embarrassed, ashamed, mistakes, it'll look back and wonder why you never changed your job? Had a family if you wanted one? It wants experience, not safety and comfort.

Severitus thingy

Baby Harry, like 1-3 MAYBE 4. Point is, he's really young, Voldemort isn't back, and Severus had been tasked with watching over him. He constantly says he hates watching over the baby, says he doesn't want to at all, says he feels nothing for the boy.

Of course, being a spy, he has to attend death eater meetings. Per say one of the members found out about Harry, and now to "prove his loyalty" he has to bring him in. He thinks it's going to be fine, maybe a couple of harsh words, but nothing bad.

He's mistaken (of course) and has to watch as Harry is mistreated. Up to you to decide HOW mistreated. Maybe it's a couple of slaps, I prefer crucio.

Extra angst if Severus is 'invited' to join, and has to harm Harry.

I understand Severus to a nearly unreasonable degree.

"But he joined the death eaters!" Okay? And? His father was a muggle who was terrible to him and others, if there was a military hate club, I'd join too! I hate the military for no reason, purely because of my dad, so, given that he actually had a reason, it's understandable.

"But he's mean to students!" Bro, I would've been fired years ago for child mistreatment, I'd be throwing desks, shouting, etc— hell no.

"But he just walked over James' dead body!" Cool, and I would've taken a selfie, like?? Iconic king?

“A vegan vampire? How does THAT work?” “Simple; I drink coconut water.” “Come again?” “Coconut water is close enough to human blood plasma that vampires can survive on it.” “Huh…”

We’ve all done it.

When someone interrupts me while I'm writing an intense scene.

Severitus plot thingy (again)

Severitus where Severus recognizes abuse in pretty much anyone. He's constantly pulling Slytherins aside to talk about home life, Ravenclaws, even Hufflepuffs, but not him.

He's so desperate for anyone to notice, anyone to actually, truly care, to do something, but that never happens.

Severus assigns a detention and Harry just loses it the second he steps in. Severus makes a single comment, and Harry is completely breaking down. He's shouting, screaming, even better if he's breaking things. Like, absolutely crashing TF out, and then he storms out.

When he shows up to classes the next day, he expects to be practically murdered by Snape, but he's not.

1) An apology letter on his desk, explaining his behavior, demeanor, and offering to help.

2) He gets asked to step out, just like he does with the Slytherins.

3) Normal class period.

4) A hug/reassuring words/just a form of comfort, really.

yeah sex is cool I guess

but have you ever had someone leave a comment with a paragraph-long review of your fanfic containing genuine praise, thorough criticism, and an in-depth analysis of all the lore hints you dropped that you spent ages intricately crafting

Tw brief mentions of sexual assault.

It makes me mad that Skip Westcott isn't in the movies. Male victims have almost no representation, and the ones we do have are just jokes or not even recognized as assault. He doesn't infantalize victims, he shows it can happen to you and still be normal, which would have been amazing. It's definitely something a lot of kids out there need, especially young boys who are completely left out of the conversation.

“I’m a writer” I mumble to myself as I type “what defines a war crime” into the google search bar
