HC they had a mini garden

[multifandomrat16]

When I was a kid my parents constantly complained and hated their coworkers, so I thought inter-work friendships were stupid, and the only reason people would care about their coworkers is if they were madly in love. And even then it was tragic enemies to lovers.

So when watching the Harry Potter movies and seeing how all the professors got along well with each other, I fully believed every one of them were together.

i didn't even ask my parents because it seemed so obvious. And when I found out Snape loved Lily (way after it should've been clear to me) and Dumbledore loved however-you-spell-it tall-man (also way after I should've known, but this time I asked my mom if it was a date, because I'd thought they were brothers), you can imagine I was VERY CONFUSED.

Anyway the HP world is both more and less queer than I'd originally assumed.

I have a silly little question that’s been sitting in the back of my mind for a while.

So in the HP movies (and specifically the movies only right now), Remus told Harry that he knew his mother, Lily, and recognized him because he has her eyes. Remus also said that Lily was there for him when no one else was and saw beauty in those who couldn’t see it in themselves. The way Remus was talking about her like she is the important person to him. who he missed very much. This conversation seemed to be taken by fans as “Remus and Lily were pretty close best friends.”

Then we have seen the full scene of Severus’s memories in Deathly Hallows, being childhood friends with Lily, the moment of Severus holding Lily’s dead body while crying over her death, a conversation between him and Dumbledore with the famous lines, “after all this time?” “Always.” (Additionally, before these memories, we also get the like from him about Harry’s eyes). That whole thing was mostly taken by fans as he loves her in a romantic way, instead of platonic love for a friend he used to have.

So the question is, why people assume that Remus felt platonically for Lily, but Severus felt for her romantically? Why it wasn’t the other way around, since Remus was first to talk about Lily before the whole reveal about her friendship with Severus? Why Remus’s friendship with her wasn’t romanticized like with Severus? Or why weren’t both friendships taken purely platonic?

Maybe I am missing something. I would really like to know what ya’ll think, I’m curious.

insecurity

tom reassures flat chested reader 🫶 yes its self indulgent wahooo!! established r/s

you stood in front of the mirror, naked, staring at your body in contemplation. you didn't exactly hate it, but it could be better.

when the door opened you jumped in surprise and looked toward it, half-covering yourself. tom walked in and paused, catching sight of your shocked expression. he closed the door and locked it, then asked, "what's wrong, love?"

you calmed down and clasped your hands tightly, hesitating. he approached you and hugged you from behind, looking at you through the mirror.

"tell me," tom murmured, his breath warm near your ear.

you fidgeted nervously and braced yourself. "i just feel... inadequate, i suppose."

his hands rested reassuringly on your hips, moving in slow circles. his eyebrows furrowed very slightly, as if he couldn't comprehend what you were saying.

"why? you're perfect to me."

you let out a shaky laugh. "really? but i..." you raised your hands and gestured to your chest vaguely. he caught on quickly, and pressed a kiss to your neck.

"darling." his tone was slightly admonishing, but still gentle. "as if i've ever given the time of day to any of those women with... bigger assets. they badger me everyday, but you're the one i come home to."

you were flattered, but still... "i know you love me, tom. but i wonder if—i don't know. if i could be better for you, if i were more... well-endowed?" your voice grew small. insecure.

he shook his head and tilted your chin up, so you were looking at him in the mirror.

"i love you, first and foremost. whatever your body is, i love it because it's yours. if you were a worm, i'd still love you and your wormy body."

you couldn't help but laugh. "tom!"

he turned your body to face him. he smiled at you, eyes full of love, and leaned in to kiss you. softly, warmly.

"let me show you how much i love you and your body, my dear."

Funny sketch 🤓

i dont even like. talk abt my hp self ins which is my most fleshed out one. ever since my bf (bestie gf) reignited my hp interest weve been brainstorming the perfect polycule: tom riddle x my self ins x kawakami tomie. "where did tomie come from" well you know. things happen

anyway i remember being obsessed with trying to fit things into canon (well i always try to do that w my self inserts to make it feel more natural that they know the chars) so i looked up the full list of students in harrys year and picked lily moon. now she is mine. fuck u jkr. can she copyright all the side characters. no. she didnt even put this one in the books so Shes My Oc Now.

anyway the story originally didnt have tomie and involved the original canon timeline and had to do with lily finding ravenclaws diadem in the room of requirement and hiding it, thus harry doesnt find it and voldy wins. then i told my bf abt this and we birthed the alt timeline au where tom is born in harrys era instead and tomie kawakami is girlbossing her way thru europe or smth. Hell yeah
