Came back wrong

[lunar-serpentinite]

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?

Just realised the movies robbed us off of Harry with shoulder length hair during the battle of Hogwarts and their kidnapping to the Malfoy Manor.

I will never forgive them 😭 I crave a Fanart of him with jet black straight untidy hair with almond-shaped startling green eyes...

[lunar-serpentinite]

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like Harry James Potter has a sleeper build, like he looks skinny and scrawny but is actually really strong. Anyone else?

[lunar-serpentinite]

assorted hjp headcanons pt 3 soon ?

[lunar-serpentinite]

harry james deserves to be pinned against the wall and looked down on by draco. draco malfoy deserves to be grabbed by the robes and hoisted down or up to reach harry. i don't make the rules.

when shorter harry makes a taller draco shudder >>>

or when taller draco teases harry with his height >>>

[lunar-serpentinite]

honestly harry just straight up reads like a beta version of mxtx protagonists

[lunar-serpentinite]

a harry potter rewrite AU but i write it like one of those regression manhwas where the gravity of harry's regrets while hes being avada kedavra'd in the forbidden forest was so strong it affected the flow of space-time and sent him back to when he was idk 8 years old

id call it "i hated how the world ended so time turned back and im redoing things properly this time" and harry has absolutely no qualms using all the plot points and past knowledge he has to make sure shit turns up right this time

hes still in gryffindor (because reasons) but he plays everyone like a slytherin. dumbledore thinks hes voldy 2.0, snape thinks hes james 2.0, everyone else thinks he has gone off the deep end much earlier than canon

... and then everything hes doing starts to make sense ...

and then ... "HARRY POTTER IS A SEER ⁉️"

bonus points for draco becoming (to his greatest chagrin) more intrigued and smitten by this weird ass gryffindor who shldve been a slytherin, and who wipes the floor w draco's ass (verbally) every other day

i will cook with some drarry (fandom) criticism in a bit, just let me not die from the heat of a tropical country in the summer

[lunar-serpentinite]

his smile is like the sun

[lunar-serpentinite]

nobody understands how pretty harry james potter is

[lunar-serpentinite]

RAAAAAGHHHH WHY CANT I POST MY RESPONSE TO THAT ONE POST RAAAAGHH

[lunar-serpentinite]

this is aimed at nobody in particular (hence the lack of tags) but ppl who toot and holler about ships "not making sense in canon" are the weakest link bc this is TUMBLR we are BUILT on nonsensical, noncanon ships 😔 have we forgotten our roots already

[lunar-serpentinite]

I don't want a "healthy" or "wholesome" ship. I want devotion to the point of insanity. I want them to be willing to burn the world to dust and break the very fabric of reality for each other. Hand in unlovable hand. I want them to be willing to put each other's needs over the needs of every other living person. Is that so much to ask.

and now i actually need to be a responsible student FGMAOFJHDS
