This is the most wholesome thing I’ve ever freaking seen.

I vividly remember the scene in like the second movie where the Weasleys were looking at their school supply list and Molly was like “I really don’t know how we’re going to afford it this year” after they had just risked life and limb to rescue Harry and Harry was sitting there eating their food like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Harry ‘Dickhead’ Potter through a mouth full of Wizardburger Helper “idk…….that’s……wow that sucks i guess lol so i’m thinking about buying this solid gold cauldron what do yall think? a little over the top?”
“oh that’s wild lmao… hey check this out I’m gonna buy all the candy off the cart on the train”
“dude you guys haven’t been able to buy new robes in like 10 years….wow that sucks i guess kek but hey lets go get some butterbeer my treat but fuck you :)”
He was literally 12 years old at this point in time, as well as the fact that he always felt extremely bad about their situation and even tried to pay for things for Ron numerous times, however he knew that Ron was ashamed and prideful over his lack of money.
Not to mention he gave Ginny all of Lockharts Defence Against The Dark Arts books, and gave Fred and George his triwizard winnings in the fourth book.
And if you think, for even a second, that Molly or Arthur Weasley would have ever taken money from him then you don’t know that family at all.
Oh, and when he got all the candy on the train, he was extremely malnourished after being mistreated and abused from living with the dursleys, and made sure that he got enough for himself and Ron, whom he had literally only just met.
a literal child who, only hours prior, was in the process of being starved and abused by his relatives in a room with bars on the windows: *eats food*
like, you know, a cartoon? like on tv? like the little moving drawings? yeah, can I just watch and enjoy one of those cartoons, for once, please?
can you just let me
am I allowed to just
watch a cartoon and have fun
can I have fun watching a cartoon, please, tumblr, please god can you let me have fun watching a cartoon, please god just let me watch a cartoon and enjoy it and have fun, please, please dear god, please
this is one of those posts that’s either “i hate that i can’t watch The Loud House anymore without thinking about how much the fandom loves incest” or “saying some parts of Steven Universe are racist is ridiculous and harmful to me personally” and there’s no in between
this is a post where I want to watch a cartoon on tv and enjoy it and have fun without feeling like I have to ask permission from tumblr to see if it’s okay for me to do so
please god let me watch a cartoon
I felt like the original point of the post was pretty clear but it’s approaching 1k notes and there’s a lot of replies that are (sarcastically?) saying “no” or even some people earnestly saying “no one’s stopping you from enjoying what you want”
but tumblr has a really bad habit of shitting on people who want to enjoy a piece of media, or the piece of media itself, and actively condemning the whole thing. this tumblr hive mind conveniently forgets that 1. perspectives are not always black and white and people enjoy things for a variety of reasons, 2. people are allowed to grow and learn different things and develop their own tastes, and 3. you can dislike something without bullying people who enjoy that thing.
if you earnestly believe that no one is doing this, please listen to me; tumblr fandom culture is terrible and people are hurt by this stuff all the time. even recently someone at a convention was hurt with unsafe baked goods (cookies with needles) because someone disliked a ship someone else created art for. whether or not that content is ‘problematic’ is a different conversation, but generally older fandom people remember a time where people understood a distinction between liking a fiction and discussing the various themes explored in it, and genuinely believing those things are okay in the real world. artists get bullied into attempting suicide on here all the time, and a lot of fans feel embarrassed, uncomfortable, or threatened by the behavior of other fans who engage in that behavior.
I would like for fans to be able to watch something and participate in the fandom without being bullied. that’s all.
“you can’t be tired,” chortles a middle aged family friend, “you’re young!”
“really??” I exclaim. I had no idea. my exhaustion lifts off my shoulders, the bags under my eyes disappear. I no longer need sleep, due to my invigorating youth. I Am Free.
I read middle aged as Middle Aged and was expecting a plague reference.
“thou cannot have the black death,” the doctor scoffs behind his mask, “you are youthful!”
“marry??” I exclaim. I hadst no idea. the fever lifts, mine own strength returns, the blackness fades from mine own skin. I am in perfect health, due to mine own most wondrous youth. I Am Free.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
