🖤 Tom Marvolo Riddle — commission for @wrengaunt 🖤
i love alice's design in this game because this is exactly how harry’s visuals are described as in the books (minus the obvious things) sharp skinny pale face, green eyes and jet black hair. when i imagine gender swapped harry i think of this.
also imagine this look but with dark red hair, thats a perfect lily.
sacrifice
Harry becoming an Auror wasn't out of character. Y'all just didn't pay attention to how much he idolized Tonks.
Imagine if Tom Riddle got hired for the Defense teaching job right after Hogwarts. Dumbledore and Tom have the craziest workplace beef ever. Dippet is still the Headmaster and he has no idea what’s going on. The two most powerful wizards of all time are having the world’s intensest staring contest in the teachers break room. Tom doesn’t become the Dark Lord because he’s too busy grading papers. Nagini and Fawkes become friends which pisses off both Tom and Albus, they have to set up play dates for their familiars and they are so bitter about it.
god this remake is going to be a nightmare isn’t it
this is what tomarry is for me
jock harry is one of the most annoying mischaracterisations in the fandom (and there’s a lot of them) he’s british, the idea of character who likes sport needing to also be a dumb buff jock is literally just an american thing. and very clearly ignores harry being good in studies, being skinny and being described as "specky "
this also goes for any of the quidditch players/ and or gryffindors in general. i think the only couple of characters described this way are , viktor krum, crabbe, goyle (the last two not even quidditch players i think?)
also while obviously headcanons are going to exist, it would have to be a modern au or america au for me to suspend my disbelief because keeping the story in 90’s Britain, while also imposing the idea of a american high school cliques is very juxtaposed.
also the idea that all quidditch players or aurors are characters that need to be "buff" makes no sense. being a seeker favours a smaller build and aurors are magic users why would the gym be a requirement ? the netflix riverdaleification of it all its so frustrating.
then we have the whole "dumb" aspect and i don’t even know where to start i mean people just up ignore certain characters smarts in order for them to be 1 dimensional (cough james)
just saw the "harry potter is a jock" opinion again. WHYYYYY
It is funny to me how Harry Potter is literally the main character, yet people tend to go like he didn't suffer that much or he wasn't "abused"; Like, how can one misunderstand the literal main character of the damn franchise?
He wasn't abused; yes okay. He absolutely did not grow up inside a cupboard; the tiny place that is mostly reserved for brooms or cleaning supply. He absolutely was not treated inferior to the other child who lived in the same house. He was totally was not treated like a "freak" or a "stain" that his family was ashamed off. He grew up inside a cupboard while there was a literal unused bed in the same house. And you want to know what that screamed to a child, a baby — who slept inside a cupboard while there being a perfectly usable room right there? You are worth nothing and we don't love you and we are ashamed of what you are.
He wasn't starved, or at least he was fed; Yeah, no. We see it from the first book. How Vernon was no food for you and in the cupboard you go — and by the looks of it, that was like his most common punishment. And then, in the second book — you practically see it happen. He was locked, inside a room with only a can of soup that he shared with Hedwig. Now, tell me what it would do to a child — to be given food through a cat flap, and fun fact? Harry got to eat less than people on war rations; in short? He was starved, yes.
He wasn't abused physically so it's not abuse; As for people's thinks abuse isn't abuse until it's physical (which is inherently wrong because abuse isn't only physically, fyi); Harry has learned to dodge Vernon and he states that, very proudly when his uncle tries to grab him. He dodges a flying pan and states that fact, again very proudly as if it is the norm; do you know how heavy pans are? And do you know what would happen when one hits you? If you want an even clearer proof; Vernon Dursley strangles Harry in Ootp. There you go. Also, in the first book, we clearly see Vernon encouraging Dudley to hit Harry. Read between the lines and actually try to understand what that signifies.
And favourite part; When he wasn't treated like a prisoner, or a freak— he was their servant. And that is very much canonical. Tending Petunia's garden during summers and drinking from the water hose in the garden because of how hot it was? Having to wake up early so he can tend the kitchen and when he wasn't doing all that he is locked away. And it is all canon.
In conclusion, Harry— not only grew up to think that he was inhumane, undeserving of love, a freak that didn't even get to have his own bed because someone like him didn't deserve it, physically harmed enough times that he dodges them out of reflex and also the Dursleys' glorified servant; that is not even taking into account what Harry went through in Hogwarts. And after all that if someone tells me; this child, right here — didn't go through much then well, maybe read the books again?

You’re so right, Hermione not only doesn’t want a guy as smart as she is, she also doesn’t need one. What she needs is a low key guy who doesn’t care as much about his career to raise the kids while she works in the Ministry. Also, like… in what universe is Draco this super smart guy? What in fanfiction hell? LMAO.
LMAO yes unfortunately in fandom Draco is a smart guy, when i was deep in drarry that was exactly how he was characterised and any draco ship treats him that way also.
and yes to everything about Hermione not needing a smart guy 👏 househusband Ron is the way 🙌
romione bashing is annoying but the most annoying aspect is the misunderstanding of Hermione. no she does not wish to be with a smarter guy like draco, tom or whoever.
she LIKES "dumber" guys or in Ron’s case a guy "dumber" than her.
notice how the two love interests Hermione has are viktor krum and cormac whatever his surname was, neither of these characters are described as bright the opposite in fact.
Hermione hates not being the smartest or top of her class, she would not find romance in competition (at least academically, she is competitive with ron in other ways) she likes teaching and being condescending and her boggart is literally her failing in book 3. she is VERY jealous of harry in hbp when he was top of the class.
many scenes with ron show she is exasperated at his lack of knowledge but enjoys imparting wisdom and creating a teaching moment. but no tiktok fandom swears down that hermione would be bored with ron and needs draco and blah blah blah, im sorry but that is fanon girlboss hermione.
guess what movies my friend has me watching :9
from bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to political fugitives on the run
it's not that i like the whole “uwu-harry” trope or whatever, but you can acknowledge the fact that he's not exactly the tallest or sturdiest and still think of him as badass, master of death, one of most skilful aurors to ever live, etc. whichever headcanon people prefer. i've seen my share of people who have been starved, whether it was because of their abusive households leading them to be malnourished, or because they had an eating disorder. during the 90s, under the influence of international sanctions, there was a major economic crisis in my country and the emergence of hyperinflation. the said sanctions had a devastating effect on the economy of it and the period is remembered for the drastic drop in living standards and the shortage of basic foodstuffs, medicine and energy, and so my family (even my parents at a time), have often suffered from poverty and therefore hunger and let me tell you— yes. it most definitely can have lasting consequences on somebody. that's not to say that harry never ate or anything like that, (though he only ate properly during his hogwarts time during the time his body was just starting to develop) just that it's perfectly reasonable for him to be portrayed that way in the fan fictions. him wearing evident testament of his abusive childhood doesn't make him weak in any way.
i know there's people out there who often depict him that way in order to make him more submissive or whatever, but other than that, i really don't see the issue y'all have with him being shorter than he'd be in other circumstances.
