loathe as i am to say this, h*rry p*tter can be kind of useful. like, whenever i meet someone in their mid-thirties who thinks that snape was “very sexy” and “morally correct, actually,” i INSTANTLY know that i’m dealing with a total dumbass. it’s efficient
snape abused an 11 year old orphan bc the 11 year old orphan’s dead mom wouldnt fuck him in high school
snape was a magic nazi who only wanted to kill magic hitler because magic hitler killed the girl he liked. important to note the girl was happily married and had a child. plus he just hated kids in general. Like lilys death doesnt excuse the way he treated ron or hermione.
I wish Dutch was a good language to swear in so I could switch to it when I’m angry on stream but all the strong Dutch swears are about wishing diseases on people and I’m too nice to use those so my only options in Dutch translate back to “dangit”
something that I feel like is missing from fandom nowadays is the idea that you dont have to have a unified, chronologically/tonally consistent interpretation of your favorite work. your fics dont have to fit within the same version of canon, even if theyre all canon-compliant on their own. your headcanons can contradict each other. be a multishipper. write metas that take two totally different interpretations of the same plot point. write a character as a villain and then write them as the hero next time. write a character as a lesbian and then write them as straight next time! engage in hypotheticals and drop them when you get bored! make up the rules as you go!! have fun with it!!!
