#i’m so fucking gay it’s not even funny

[tiktaalic]

PREFACE TO MY POST: I’m not arguing with someone who says fanfiction as a medium is better than published books. It’s a better use of both our time not to argue gives you more time to read omegaverse me more time to do Anything Else.

POST: it’s so funny when someone trots out I got tired of reading books by old white men. I Find Better And More Representation In Fanfiction than Published Books! Because representation is so clearly standing in for the phrase “white gay/bi man”.

POINT ONE. it’s straight up not hard to find books by people with different perspectives. I could go to Libby dot com right now and find 3 different reading lists put together by the library to encourage you, the patron, to diversify your reading. Even when I don’t use those lists and I’m just going by clicking on covers I like I end up reading a variety of authors bc. They’re writing good books that are ending up on most popular lists that float their way to the top of recommendations. There are plenty of tools in place that guide you to books Not Written by old white men, Not About old white men. Libraries make it very very very easy to expand your palette. They want you to expand your palette soooo bad they want you to do it purposefully and if not purposefully, they’ll at least make it easy for you to do accidentally.

POINT TWO. if you are talking about fanfiction and you Aren’t using representation as shorthand for “white man but he’s gay” then the amount of fanfiction with “representation” is shit fucking all. On every axis. Nothing about women nothing about people of color. Women of color RIGHT out. I think I honestly would respect the stance of “oh I read fanfic instead of books because they’re easier, similar, and mostly about homosexuality” than I would the faux posturing of Its Praxis for me to read the diverse representation of ao3 top 100 (97 m/m) (3 f/f) (every character is white).

Why do u ship drarry? (no hate btw just curious)

Thanks for the ask! I actually have a whole list of why lol, but for the sake of your sanity, I’ll just summarize it:

1: Enemies-to-lovers fucking hits hard. Forbidden love is also a nice trope.

2: They fight like an old married couple. (please get the reference.)

3: They’re both very invested in each other's life. For better or for worse, both Harry and Draco are often really concerned about what the other one is doing. They both take turns being really involved in one another’s business. 

4: Draco wants to prove himself and he always craves Harry’s attention. His jealousy is shown consciously but yet subconsciously, it’s the need for Harry’s attention. Draco’s jealousy of Harry makes him obsessed. And well, Harry is canonically obsessed with Draco.

5: S e x u a l. T e n s i o n What? Who said that? (Harry and Draco are rivals, and rivalry is hot. The heat between them can be taken as sexual tension and can even lead to it.)

6: Subtext: “‘typical’ said Harry darkly. ‘Just what I always wanted. To make a fool of myself on a broomstick in front of Malfoy.’” - We never want to make a fool of ourselves in front of our crushes. 

“Malfoy bent down to examine a shelf full of skulls. ‘everyone thinks he’s so smart, wonderful Potter with his scar and his broomstick-‘ ‘You have told me this at least a dozen times already.’ Said Mr. Malfoy, with a quelling look at his son.” -I mean this speaks for itself.

"’Bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter?’" said a voice Harry had no trouble recognizing. He straightened, and came face-to-face with Draco Malfoy.” - No trouble recognizing? You don’t say…

‘Besides, if it makes you feel any better, Malfoy is staying over for the holidays.’  - yes i know the context but still

“Malfoy stood on one side, the sunlight gleaming on his white-blond head. He caught Harry’s eyes and smirked.” - I’m sorry, this is so funny to me, why does Harry describe his arch nemesis like this? Lol

“Harry lay curled uncomfortably under the cloak to ensure that every inch of him remained hidden, and watched Pansy the sleek blond hair off Malfoy’s forehead, smirking as she did so, as though anyone would have loved to have been in her place.” - Harry would have loved to be in her place.

“His whole body revealed with his legs still curled absurdly into the cramped kneeling position. He couldn’t move a muscle; he could only gaze up at Malfoy, who smiled broadly.” - This without context 😭

“You’re getting a bit obsessed with Malfoy, Harry, I mean thinking of missing a match just to follow him…” - I mean…

“Harry, however, had never been less interested in quidditch; he was rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy.” - An actual quote from the book.

 “Harry did not sleep well that night. He lay awake for what felt like hours, wondering how Malfoy was using the Room of Requirements… Harry's mind worked feverishly and his dreams, when he finally fell asleep, were broken and disturbed by images of Malfoy.” - This is getting out of hand…

“‘what?’ Said Harry wheeling around to stare at her ‘He’s ill? What’s wrong with him?’” - Sounds like he cares lol

“Malfoy was screaming and holding Harry so tightly that It hurt.” - 💀💀💀

So to wrap this up: They’re rich, they’re hot, and they’re gay, so what’s not to love? So there you have it, a couple of reasons why I ship Drarry! 

Thanks for the ask btw! ILYSM!!! 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️

Seth is fucking DEAD. I knew he died or got booted from the story but I didn’t think it was gonna be THIS EARLY?? I FUCKING LOVED SETH BRO… I ALREADY KNEW HE WAS GONNA GET KILLED OFF BC HE WAS LIKE A FILLER JACKASS CHARACTER NO ONE LIKED, BUT I FUCKING LOVED HIM AND HIS HOMOPHOBIC ASS AS A QUEER PERSON. BRO FUCK THIS I ACTUALLY SOBBED, I CRIED FOR SETH YET NOT A SINGLE TEAR WHEN MY ACTUAL GRANDPA DIED. HE FUCKING DIED BELIEVING THE FOXES WOULD NEVER BECOME ANYTHING, AND HE DIED BEFORE HE COULD FUCKING SEE THEM BECOME SOMETHING THEY COULD BE PROUD OF. HE HAD SO MUCH FUCKING POTENTIAL AND I’M GONNA BANG MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALL BECAUSE WHAT THE HELL. I WANTED A REDEMPTION ARC. I WANTED A SETH AND NICKY FRIENDSHIP. I WANTED SO MUCH FUCKING MORE. I WANTED HIM TO TRULY AND ACTUALLY BELIEVE WITHOUT SOME SORT OF HINT OF DOUBT THAT JUST BECAUSE KEVIN WAS MORE WELL-KNOWN AND LOVED BY FANS, DIDN’T MEAN THAT HE WAS WORTH MORE THAN SETH. WHAT THE FUCK.

BARS!!!!). however. maybe having an insanely close relationship with a four bar my sophomore year here… historically. might be a bad idea …? thoughts.

[orificial]

got a lot of feelings about how people are so very comfortable with assigning people with labels that they may not personally identify with or find confining (i.e. twink/bear/other physical archetypes etc) but they may just stem from myself being transsexual and grumpy. as many things do

[gregoftom]

some of y’all haven’t grown past the treating queer ppl like shit for liking a ship you don’t take seriously stage and it shows

[mizuswifey]

thé féminine urge to write fan fiction but being scared of the lore

[karlicartoons]

Someone posted some cute Beavis x Butthead fan art on a boys fb page and all the boomers are being really toxic so naturally I give them a compliment CUZ IT’S REALLY FUCKING GOOD ART and one guy tries to get in a fight with me.

Imagine being the guy who’s arguing with a Beavis and Butthead crew member on Facebook LMAAAAOOOO

[dulcewrites]

I’m writing this…. Thing lmao, and I hope I’m not horribly mischaracterizing Helaena. Idk I find her difficult to characterize at times.

Also trying to describe her dragon dreams… bc they it is barely touched on nor explained for her.

Edit: oouuu the way I really want to write hotd Alicent and Helaena related stuff bc I do feel like I could bring some new dynamics to their characters. But it’s come to the point where I just prefer writing them in a modern setting bc I feel like I can get them out of their situation 😭😭 I don’t want them to suffer
