do u guys have any idea the amount of self control i have 2 exercise in this fandom. every time i see a self-proclaimed "gen z marauders fan" talking about how they enjoy fandom in a totally cool + non-cringey way (reads hp fanfiction, gets hp tattoos, makes tiktoks lipsyncing to popular audios pretending to be hp characters) as opposed to millenials who enjoy fandom in such a cringey way (reads different hp fanfiction, gets different hp tattoos, makes tiktoks lipsyncing to different audios + pretending to be different hp characters) it is like i am a lion watching a wounded gazelle limp past. i am a blood-sniffing shark and these people are bleeding baby seals. personally i believe that everyone has a right to enjoy fandom in whatever cringey way they wish (cringe is inevitable if u are reading hp fanfic in 2023 i fear). however if u are going 2 proclaim that ur way is Superior and Cooler than The Old People......god. u are a mouse w a broken leg and i am a starving owl.
