Having Thoughts, about how Helga/Arnold probably led directly to a lot of the fervor for Draco/HarryÂ
#My HP meta#Meta.me#Shipping#(Though Draco/Harry is a lot more complicated than outright bullying vs. secretly crushing of course)#(What with the whole thing about Draco being conditioned to be Harry's foil by his dickbag xenophobe father as literal children of war)#(Both of them being ridiculously similar but also being used as pawns in a war)#(And pawns in Jo's ridiculously anti-Slytherin narrative where no Slytherin child is anything like Good because she's a Gryffindor)#I was eleven when I got into Draco/Harry fic and a lot of it reads/read like people my age or older seeing a Helga-like duality in Draco#A Helga-like duality that was not...at all...invented by readers/viewers? Like. Their first meeting is Draco trying so hard to impress him.#And he spends a LOT of time trying to keep Harry's attention.#And when push comes to shove they end up saving each other.#A LOT like Helga and Arnold with her insults and Arnold fighting back every so often but then having Moments that make you Wonder.#Draco x Harry#Helga x Arnold cw#Harry Potter#Hey Arnold#Bullying cw#Queercoding cw#Abuse apologism cw#Badwrong ships cw#Fandom
