I’m normal about him I swear

no one ever talks about the subgenre of harry potter fanfiction that was greg and angelina johnson having a miserable empty relationship bc she’s only with greg because she’s pining after his dead twin. I assume this is bc so many people got invested in fred and angelina after they went to the yule ball I guess and then jk posted that family tree that confirmed greg and angelina got married. well guys I hate to tell you this but I think she just forgot which twin went to the ball with her

EDIT: it has been brought to my attention I forgot the other weasley’s name was george. I am part of the problem

Friends come and go. Relationships end. That edgy character you latched onto at age 12 is forever

Somehow tumblr follower count seems to not be very easily visible, so I realized I've never actually properly looked at how many are following me yelling out into the void (less frequently nowadays) and farting out a doodle maybe once every two years.

831??? That's crazy. Hi y'all, you're lovely and I hope each and every one of you has a good day! ❤️

I think it is IMPERATIVE to Snape's characterization that he grew up destitute in a muggle neighbourhood but his mummy made him wear robes. And that he wore muggle trousers with those robes. Like it's foundational to understanding him (especially if wizard kids were already starting to dress more muggle by the 70s.)

Hey I wrote a fic about baby Sev and Lily, go read it or don’t

[lupiniad]

i very rarely appreciate what (partly) normal people have to say about the marauders fandom as whole but this is a cool reality check

the context of this post is that op was quoting a video of someone giving andrew garfield a remus lupin fanart to sign

and i feel like i mostly agree with this???? obviously i love exploring minor characters and events on fanfiction in whatever fandom it might be, but the disproportionate popularity is what makes it weird

another person brings up the experience of opening the comment section of a video and seeing a lot of comments about the marauders. like seriously imagine how annoying it must to just post yourself and get a lot of "that's james potter TO ME" "so james coded!!!" and imagined how it must be to someone like andrew garfield who has an entire career and it's associated to this one character he's never played by a bunch of people who can't get over a fan edit they watched as teenagers

i included the second comment because i think it's hilarious anyone would believe taylor swift wrote a thousand pages long wolfstar fic

but the first comment validates my main argument against the marauders fandom, or at least the iteration that plagues every single character tag and tiktok, "and the minute someone tries to think differently or tries to refute it, you would think they committed murder". the one thing that it's truly harmful to this fandom, and i mean the whole harry potter fandom because whether you like it or not we share an ao3 tag, it's how stagnant and limited it is, how hive minded it is, how some people seem to need a unanimously agreed upon fanon version of events, how you jump into extremely popular fanfics and assume those particular versions of the characters are who the characters are in absolute and just replicate that versions in progressively worse takes that become truly unrecognizable from the source material

fandom should thrive in creativity and it's great that a niche part of the canon universe has grown so much that now we have fan works of very minor characters, but what is the use of these high numbers if most of it it's going to read the same. people who are getting into fandom or are just starting their creative projects shouldn't feel pressured to fit into the same mold just because it seems like everybody else is doing it. not everyone who is writing or drawing or editing wants to make another flavor of the same popular fanon
