Okay nobody send me death threats. It's not that serious! Here are my Marauders Hot Takes:
• Jily and WolfStar are the best ships
• I love Jegulus but it doesn't make sense in canon, but almost nothing else does anyway so who cares
• The marauders would've bullied people in real life because they bullied people in canon- I do think they also would've grown up and apologized for it (except maybe Sirius)
• Snape is a flawed complex character but he bullied children and that will never be okay. He's also literally racist and misogynistic so..
• Harry is a better person than James. He wasn't perfect, but he didn't bully anyone (only had petty rivalries) and was angry when he found out how James treated Snape and that Sirius still thought it was funny. Harry also literally payed for Fred and George to start their business. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL HARRY IS JUST BETTER
• I will never read All The Young Dudes. I'm sorry. I just don't want to read it
• Rosekiller is a fun ship but you cannot make them good people. Barty literally killed his father in cold blood. Headcanons are fine, but it's just better and more likely that they chose their side of the war knowingly and willingly.
• Sirius is an asshole. He has so many good qualities, but he's an asshole. When he's watered down to just sad, or just fun it's never as good. He needs flaws. That goes for all the marauder
All this being said, write what you want. Read what you want. Enjoy what you like. It's just fiction and fandom and I really don't take it as seriously as this sounds
Yeah maybe the curtains are just blue but maybe the author likes that you see that as symbolism for sadness. Have you ever thought of that? Maybe writers like when you find meanings in their works that they didn't think of. Just because it wasn't intended doesn't mean it can't be true.
Over analyze everything. Find meaning where there was nothing before. We found God in the stars, we can find meaning in the curtains.
As I sat in the dark, eating strawberries and nutella on toast, watching the lighting roll outside my window, I thought, "this is what poetry is made of" and I figured someone would know what I meant.
Words from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
"Name your children after your favorite things"
Me: good night "the subplot from Paragon where Alana gives Will's dogs up for adoption and then Will hates her in a petty way for the rest of the story"
I’m not joking fiddlestan is genuinely such a good ship and I will die on that hill
Both of them were rejected by Ford in a way— he pushed Fiddleford AND Stan away for his own pursuits (his muse/Bill and University)
And as a result both Stan and Fiddleford were so desperate to rekindle that relationship that they didn’t realize how poorly they were treated by Ford in the first place
And then they seek comfort in each other bc the other represents all of the GOOD parts of Ford and yet they lack his flaws and they both grieve him tg
(NOT TO MENTION au where Stan pretends to be Ford in front of McGucket bc that’s a whole other can of worms tjeislfmsowle)
Idk man I could get into the angsty details ig but idk I love them
Sobbing. I need to be needed. I need the intimacy of it. Let me worship you
Ronarry needs more love
That's it that's the post
Laurie and Amy (2019)
2019 is actually my least favorite version of Little Women, but it's so beautiful. It's still so good, just not my favorite
How many times do you think Merlin brought in breakfast for Arthur just to find an empty room and a cold bed? How many times did he stumble out of bed in the morning, going to the kitchens without a thought while the cook let him take food became she couldn't bare reminding him? How many times do you think Merlin went to go clean Arthur's room only to find it unchanged since he last entered? How many times do you think Gwen found him there after she switched rooms because she couldn't bare to be there, but when she passed by Merlin always was? How many times did Merlin light a fire or wait at the desk for Arthur, trying to forget that he wouldn't be in that room ever again?
I have yet to see a take on If We Were Villains that isn't either negative, related to The Secret History, or both. So here's mine. SPOILERS
First, I've seen some hate for Meredith and the other girls. Why? I understand that Meredith "betrayed" James and in that betrayed Oliver, but she was only trying to protect him and their friends. She didn't do it out of jealousy, she did it out of love.
If you must hate on Meredith for being jealous the least you can do is admit that you would be too. The guy your with, and perhaps even love, is obviously in love with another person despite choosing you. And that person is in love with him too. How would you feel?
In a perfect world Oliver and James would be together and Meredick would live happily ever after with no abuse or darkness of any kind. But the book isn't about a perfect world, it's about being doomed and making the best out of the situation. Meredith and Oliver found the best in each other, especially at the end of the book. While keeping James's death, we couldn't have asked for a better ending. Oliver loves Meredith more than he could love anyone outside of James, and she loved him for who he was and is.
Okay maybe I just wanted to rant about Meredith and he relationship with Oliver! But I never see posts about it! All I see is aesthetic boards, and while beautiful, aren't what I'm looking for!
I understand that If We Were Villains and The Secret History are practically the same, everyone points if out, but I have no interest in TSH and I never will. Somebody please get it.
Pretty much I'm pretending to be a poet but really I'm just obsessed with stuff. she/her.. 18 (1-19-07).. ENFP
