an entire season focused on their partnership?

multiple intimate cooking looks and murmurs?

pete and donna’s convo lowkey confirming it’s up for interpretation?

countless callbacks to past sydcarmy moments (like the best meal syd’s ever had !!)?

deadass only about four seconds of claire all season with no solid relationship build w/ carm?

the most unplatonic beautiful hug with literal sunlight beaming behind them next to the iconic table from their iconic table scene?

…a win is a win LMAO

oh i'm going to misusle and straight up fuckle this knowledge so badly

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

whitachi

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

And isn’t it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?

I hope you find someone who can’t believe they get to love you.

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

I was curious about to what degree the Harry Potter fandom has died out (or not) since both the end of the main series/film series and JKR's increasingly vocal transphobia in the last seven or so years, so I started pulling HP data per year for the main categories (M/M, F/M, F/F, Gen), and thus far I've found a number of things that largely boil down to "No, at least in terms of people updating fics on AO3, it has not died down."

For most of the categories, HP actually growing faster than the category as a whole in a number of the years since JKR started being openly transphobic. For F/M fics in particular, HP fics made up 7.55% of all F/M fics updated in 2025, which is the highest rate since 2011. (This is almost certainly due to the Dramione popularity.)

For M/M fics, there was a small dip in 2019 (reflected in the % of total M/M fics updated that year, not the number of HP fics posted per day), but then it immediately started going back up to pre-2019 percentages.

I semi-unironically blame Reylo for the recent surge in popularity of Dramione.

Some interesting things that I've found in this data:

In general, each year has more HP fics than the previous year, which on one hand wouldn't be particularly notable because there are just more fics being posted/updated on AO3 every year, but it is notable because looking at fandoms like Supernatural or Teen Wolf, there are fewer fics being posted now than there were during its height.

In 2022, Sirius/Remus passed Draco/Harry in terms of number of fics per year, and that has continued in the years since. Draco/Harry is still the most popular ship in terms of absolute numbers, but it is not the ship being posted about the most over the last few years.

In 2025, Draco/Hermione also passed Draco/Harry, and that has continued thus far into 2026.

In 2025, there were also more James Potter/Lily Potter fics than Draco/Harry fics updated (it was actually the most popular HP ship in 2025 by fics updated, followed by Sirius/Remus, Draco/Hermione, and then Harry/Draco), but so far in 2026 there have been more Draco/Harry fics than James/Lily fics.

F/M (particularly Draco/Hermione and James/Lily) are increasingly driving HP fics, and in 2025 and thus far in 2026 there were more F/M HP fics posted than M/M HP fics (though M/M makes up a very large percentage still).

#are you kidding me youre keeping hp alive for HETSLOP

To be fair there were almost 9.3k Draco/Harry fics and almost 13k Sirius/Remus fics in 2025 so it's also for gayslop or whatever we're calling it these days.
