Hiiiiii!!!!!! Ofc I replied 🥰 and there's no big blogs here we're all just out here clowning together about the boys 😌

Omg I've been waiting all my life for this!!😭 I have SO MANY hindi songs that remind me of them 😭

Don't have a playlist, but here's a little list! Putting it under a cut cause it got too long lol.

Mai Yahan Hun: PRISON REUNION!!! Mickey making his way across the border for Ian inspite of everything!!

Adhoori Saans Thi Dhadkan Adhoori Thi Adhooren Hum // Magar Ab Chaand Poora Hain Falak Pe Aur Ab Pooren Hain Hum

Jaanam dekhlo mit gayi duriyaan, mai yahan hun, yahan hun, yahan hun, yahan // Kaisi sarhadein, kaisi majbooriyan, mai yahan hun, yahan hun, yahan hun, yahan.

Mere Haath Mai: like the entire song??? Reminds me of them breaking apart and reuniting every single time. Holding onto each other!! And ofc HANDS 😩💫. Tere haath mai mera hath ho, saari jannatein mere saath ho. That's SO them!! I've got the whole universe if I've got your hand in mine!!!😭

^^ that feeling of being incomplete w/o each other!! But now they're together and they feel whole 🥺 also the last line makes me think of them stargazing and feeling so content 🥺

Mast Magan:

Man Mast magan, man mast magan bas tera naam dohraaye// Chaahe bhi toh bhool na paaye

The part about just thinking about each other, and not being able to forget even if you want to. Like!!! Aaaaaah it's THEM

Duniya zamaana jhoota fasaana // Jeene marne ka waada saancha mera // Ho sheeshmahal na mujhko suhaye // Tujh sang sookhi roti bhaaye

The way the world doesn't matter if they have each other!! Till death do us apart 😭 and the last lines remind me of them bc like. They don't care about the fancy shit or anything, they just want a peaceful domestic life w each other 🥺

Bolna: the entire song actually 🥺 gives me very mickey about ian vibes if that makes sense?

Virah: mickey heartbroken in prison and in mexico </3

Tu Jo Muh Phere Sakhi Deh Pran Tyaage // Pal-Pal Tu Dekh Mujhe Zindagi Guzaar Du

When Ian turned away from him 🥺

Lab Par Aaye: the lyrics fit so well w ian trying to win Mickey back after the courthouse tragedy!!

Kaho na pyaar hai: idk gives me v early s5 vibes. They were lovin' so hard and they were so happy 🥺

Haan tu hai: ian@mickey!!

Jo khwabon khayalon mein socha nahin tha tune mujhe itna pyaar diya // Main jab bhi jahaan bhi kadi dhoop mein tha // Teri zulf ne mujh pe saya kiya

Reminds me of all the times Mickey's been their for Ian when he needed it 🥺

Koi bhi aisa lamha nahi hai // Jismein mere tu hota nahi hai // Main so bhi jaaun mein raaton mein lekin // Tu hai ki mujhmein sota nahi hai

Ian smiling as he dreams about Mickey in s10 🥺

Tum Mile: I feel like this is a very mickey thinking about ian song. About how his life has transformed after Ian came 🥺

Tum mile toh jaadu chaa gaya // Tum mile toh jeena aa gaya 🥺

Kaise Mujhe Tum: I feel like this has the same vibe as above. Mickey thinking about Ian and about how he can't believe he gets to have him. Idk s2 Mickey vibes 🥺

Jaane Kyun: best friends and husbands vibes 🥰 but also s3 best friends and boyfriends vibes 🥺 in the alley chase scene 🥺

Jab koi baat bigad jaaye: reminds me of them saying their vows. Good times bad sickness health that shit 🥺 also ian asking would you take care of me if i was paralysed.

Lag jaa gale: this was the first song I'd connected w gallavich. This is SO s7 ian and mickey when they'r stargazing 🥺 like from Ian's side bc he knows he might not be crossing the border w mickey and this might be the last night he shares w mickey 🥺

Yeh tune kya kiya: early seasons mickey about ian!!!

Tum se hi: I keep saying this avwhwb but mickey about ian!!!

Khabar nai: baby ian falling for mickey 🥰

Bekhayali: Mickey in prison and mexico 🥺

Maahi Ve (Highway): idk this is just a very THEM song and I'm obsessed w it. Oh and also Dhadak (from the movie Dhadak lol).

Roke Na Ruke Naina: s3 ending and s4a mickey 🥺

Kahin toh: s4a gallavich. The guy's part is Mickey and the part about mai kho gyi hun jaane kiski baahon mai is ian 🥺

I love you (Bodyguard): s2 Mickey about ian!! He's falling in loveeeee

Saawali si raat: this makes me think of them staying up late just because. All loving stares and soft smiles and being all cuddled up

Lehrein: s5b and s6 ian 🥺

OK besties who are interested in Wayward Souls (Persona/Zelda AU) which characters do you want to see next?

Options would be: two main antagonists, the group of travellers who team up with Yukari or a side character I'm particularly found of.

Yo, whoever just....SENT you UNSOLICITED ctitism??? They're either a youngling that hasn't learned the rules or fanfiction or they're just an asshole. That ask was worded very politely but that was such an assholish thing to do??? "Sadly, I will stop reading your story" DUDE WHO CARES. YOU DEADASS COULD'VE JUST QUIETLY STEPPED OUT WHEN THE STORY STARTED TURNING IN A DIRECTION THAT MADE YOU UNCOMFY WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. There was literally NO NEED for them to come tell you all that and the only reason they did is because they're arrogant and think that only their opinion matters. They just...disregarded creative freedom completely. You handled it well but I just wanted to stop by and tell you that your characterization is actually very realistic and it is miles better than some other fics I've seen, which I will not name because I'm NOT AN ASSHOLE. Sorry to come ranting into your inbox but that ask got me fired up.

Another message:  horrible anon that wrote the rude condescending& pathetic ask ab harry being weak for not being able to stomach tom MURDERING people i have no words. made me mad! book harry would NOT be okay with murder! & fuck them for saying those mean things ab u that arnt true. this is UR story. u can do WHATEVER u want with it. nobody has any right to demand things from u & u dont have to take any criticism if u dont want it. the entitlement of some people🤬. also i dont know why they assume you should care their going to “stop reading” like okay bye 😌 still gonna have like 200,000 hits

Another message from @likorys-shimenawa:  I didn't want to be rude the anon, but... "You know something is wrong with your characterisation when more than one person gets hot and bothered about it" seriously broke me. They DO remember that people still think Snape was an incel out for hookup with Lily? When the only person to believe that was damn VOLDEMORT? Just cause many people say something doesn't make it true. Also - Harry's 'constant whimpering'? Did they miss how he spend months hung up on the Horcruxes, doing nothing, as well?

-----------------------------------------------------

I decided to group most of criticism-related asks together - I hope you don’t mind! Thank all of you for your support, it really means a lot to me. I’m not very bothered by negative comments/asks, but they sure aren’t pleasant to get.

The thing with stories is that everyone perceives them in a unique way. I saw the most ironic evidence of this with my Russian Snape-centered fic. I got two comments in sequence from two different people: one said my Snape is too nice; the second one said he is too evil. Everyone else felt he was canon-like. It was funny to see these comments posted right next to each other, and none of them was technically wrong: people have their view of the character, and it won’t always coincide with that of others.

It’s inevitable to lose readers along the way. The more relevant decisions characters make, the more defined the plot becomes, and some people start finding it not to their liking. That’s okay, but it’s important to remember that your experience is your own. Others might not share it.

That’s why I‘m not going to reply to asks similar to the one I got again. I already explained my view, there is nothing left for me to add. But to sum it up for the last time:

I think Harry’s ability to love can be a curse just as it can be a gift. I think he’s pretty strong, even though this love cripples him in many ways. He raised a better version of Tom on the global scale and a worse monster on the local one. He managed to control Tom’s destructiveness for years, and it broke his heart every time Tom did something similar to Voldemort. Beth was a shock because Harry’d believed he was succeeding in making Tom better just by loving him and explaining what’s right and what’s wrong. After that, he was constantly wary, yet the more Tom lived without hurting anyone, the more hopeful Harry became. Every setback shook him, but Tom never killed again - he learned how to stop, and Harry tried to focus on this. He had evidence of Tom being better, so his expectations worked accordingly. Learning about Charlus was a terrible blow because for one thing, Harry was already feeling terrible due to killing a person and watching his student die to protect him. For another, he realized that Tom killed a part of his family again. Of course he was stunned and horrified - this was his worst nightmare come true. And the ritual was the last drop in the overfilled bowl of his patience and hopes. Harry tried to watch out for others, he forgot to watch out for himself.

In my eyes, this is consistent with his behavior in canon + the changes he lived through in WHGTB. I’m happy that many readers share this view, and I’m sorry others don’t (though I get it), but I really don’t need to know that you want to stop reading. If the story no longer makes you feel happy or interested, just close it and look for another one. Fandom is supposed to be fun, and no writer can please everyone. Characterization is a complex thing - for the most part, it’s not universal. Things you disagree with will be something others agree with and vice versa. That’s fiction, and that’s why it’s such a fascinating concept.

(4/?) relationship with them, they're all I have. I also still live at home(im 19, in college) and dont want to cause problems. My question is, should I try to challenge them on their views? Am I adding to the oppression of lgbt people through remaining silent? Thats what im worried about. Its getting to hard for me to be around them...I feel like one day I'll just explode, and I dont know what will happen. Thanks for reading. :) (Can you publish this anonymously, perhaps?)

Oh shit. I did not catch the anonymous part until I posted the first 2 parts of your inbox. However, I have anonymous turned off for a reason. I do not accept anonymous inquiries (or reply privately) for several reasons, 1 being I don’t want my responses edited and posted somewhere else to make it look like I said something I did not say. I am sorry I did not catch this in time to let you know that I publish all inboxes to me.

I am not LGBTQIAP+ though my daughter is. I don’t know I am the best person to answer this because IDGAF if you are family or not, I will cut a muthafucka off in a second, if they are harmful to me and my mental health. As such, I would go in on any family member exhibiting any form of bigotry in my presence. I have no fucks to give and I am too old (mid-40s) to be worried about their feelings. 

I cannot advise you because I have no idea if it is even safe for you to express yourself. I would not advise anyone to put themselves in harm’s way in ways that I do. I think, if you are still questioning what you should do, you should continue to learn and read on the matter of call-outs and call-ins with family members to help you decide what route is best for you. 

I see 1,2, and 4 inbox. If there was a 3, it never came through.
