#Harry Taint

[twopoppies]

Hi Gina, I’m Clare - the ‘do I think Harry owes me anything’ anon from last month.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I was wrong about Harry. There are many reasons for this, which I won’t bore you with, but here are some:

I had an abusive childhood, which turned me into a people pleaser. Basically I fit in with whoever is closest just to get a sense of security.

It so happened that the people ‘closest’ to me in the fandom were people who disliked H and rooted for Louis. I went along with them and it sunk in.

I was too afraid to disagree - even though i felt they were wrong - because I didn’t want to ‘raise my voice’. Speaking up has never gone well for me.

After talking to you I spent some time researching H and his attitudes to 1D, the fans and the queer community (I work from home for only a few hours a day so have the time). Again, I soon found that I was wrong about him.

I have found as an adult the coping mechanisms I developed as a child haven’t gone away, and I need to accept that they continue to affect my view on the world and people in general. I guess this is the way I am. I have two degrees, a job and a home and dogs and horses but that little girl who would go along with anything just to be liked is still there, desperate for attention.

It is quite refreshing though to ‘find’ Harry again, and in a way I think I have found myself.

So thank you Gina. I was wrong about Harry, and I hope in a parallel dimension he knows and forgives me.

Oh, darling. I just want to give you a big hug. I understand where you're coming from more than you'd think. Going against what seems to be the consensus of everyone around you isn't easy. I do think it's a bit like building up muscle; the more you use it, the stronger it gets. I've had to do a ton of work on myself to be comfortable using my voice, and I still find times when I just let something happen because I didn't want to assert myself. That little girl is still there, but you can heal her. I promise.

And Harry would absolutely understand and forgive you. ��️

In reference to this and this.

i think i wouldn’t hate disco elysium’s collage mode nearly as much if it weren’t for 1) the way that it was marketed in such a tasteless, soulless manner, let alone the fact that it was a last ditch distraction from a dead on its feet studio piloted by dumbass thieving execs and released on the day of the court declaration, and 2) those dumbass fucking stickers

like if it had been included with the base game from the start and had been titled something a bit more tasteful and in-line with how i would have liked the feature to be marketed as— something like “exploration mode”, something that perhaps could only be unlocked after completing the game for the first time, AND didn’t have those stupid as hell visually and tonally incongruent with the artstyle stickers, i would have applauded it as a nice little bonus for being able to study and appreciate the 3d models and environments for reference.

My favorite thing is everyone going "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.." then Harry's response "Voldemort?"

He's just- I kileed that bitch twice, tf you mean HeWhoMustNotBeNamed. Bitch is fucking He-Who-Fucking-Disintegrated.

[cursedwithwords]

Doing some thinking for this next chapter and I do NOT think Harry would tell Teddy, or anyone, about The Prank.

Listen I too once had Harry Potter brainrot so I get it but it’s so weird how much of fandom space it takes up. Like when I look up procedural dramas on AO3 why do a bunch of HP crossover fics show up as most popular? And like.. I could see the appeal of seeing certain characters in Hogwarts/sorting them. Categorizing is fun! But Leroy Jethro Gibbs is not a man to be shipped with boy wizards what is this

[aquarri]

Not camel rowe talking bout harry loool

well she’s promoting something! she must use the human billboard! everyone knows that!

[du-hjarta-skulblaka]

I was watching Hunger Games (mainly bc I was bored but like. The books and the first movie honestly slap) and it struck hard how Locked Tomb honestly has the potential to be the next Big YA Thing. Frankly the only reason it's not already is probably because every bit of marketing slapped on it emphasises that it's queer

Which. That's what we need. Tazmuir could fucking topple Joanne and piss on her bones! If only more people read these fucking books!

[animutate]

i havenot stopped feeling depressed sincei saw my fathers mugshot a couple weeks ago. i hadnt seen it or his face in years up to that point id forgotten what he looked like its been taking a toll on me

[i-stand-unshaken]

Finally sold off that damn stupid boy wizard Blu-ray box set that I spent too much money on back in 2018 when I was still a fan *gag*. I have exorcised the demon and got paid too. Fuck you, Joanne.

[impishtubist]

My deepest condolences to the OP who made the Harry/Tom Star Trek post, I never intended for your post to break containment and escape into HP fandom, my bad 🤣

[abra-ka-dammit]

i wanna read books but i just dont have the focus for it anymore. i cant help but start randomly thinking abt shit and then i realize my eyes had passed over the last 2 paragraphs without me actually processing the words.

audiobooks wont help bc i cant focus on sound either; i cant even listen to those popular D&D play podcasts without missing huge chunks bc i zoned out either doing something or again just randomly thinking abt other stuff, then i tune back in like wait wtf is going on now. if its a story i just cant seem to ingest it.

thats why i like shit like mbmbam where its just kinda dumb shit and jokes and bits and its like. ok if i lose focus ill miss some stuff but when my brain comes back at least ill be able to just pick up in a couple seconds without what i missed affecting it yknow. bc its not a cohesive story.

It's 2:30am. Which means I am at the point of the night where I am genuinely considering getting a tattoo with the line "Practical as salt." from Pippin on it

[fatpinkbitch]

Usually I don't believe in "Cringe", like as a concept, but if you still have Harry Potter shit in your bio in the year 2023 then you are, in fact, cringe. In the worst possible way.
