#Or even the OoTP

i know the circumstances are VASTLY different but do you think sirius watched molly grieving percy's desertion of the family and thought about how his mother would've felt...it's such a fucked up little piece of psychological torture on top of everything

[rewritingcanon]

my sister and i just yapped for almost three hours and we were just talking about how genuinely weird people in fandom are surrounding characters who have explicit mental illness. like they can never ever be normal. there are characters who are romanticised and glamourised for their mental illness (eren. wanda. joker. kaneki. nico. almost any danganronpa/ddlc character). characters who are consistently ridiculed for their mental illness either because it simply isn’t getting taken seriously (reiner) or because no one takes the character seriously (armin). and there are the characters that get blatantly outright DESPISED for it (basil, harry potter, korra, gale, also eren etc etc). like yes im seeing a correlation but its still so astounding how selective people are about where they draw the line with mental illness and what traits they can accept.

I was re reading swm and uk whts soo weird? The fact that after spotting his dad and Sirius, Harry searches for Remus and Peter....but not his mother. After the exam Harry plants himself amidst a group of girls who eventually go and sit by the lake... but he doesn't notice his mother in this group. He does not notice/care abt her until she's screaming in his father's face. He literally does not give a fuck abt her at all

My favourite detail in OOTP is when Harry finds Sirius at the dining hall Crookshanks is curled up in his lap. Like he’s surrounded by people screaming at him about “Dumbledore’s instructions”, not allowed to go outside cause the ministry and Death Eaters are gunning for him, he’s being called irresponsible and reckless and he’s brushing it all aside cause boy does he know how to deal with people screaming at him in this house, any regardless: he’s still got Crookshanks. He’s got Buckbeak and they remain Sirius’ first and last line of defence

Harry felt something brush against his knees and started, but it was only Crookshanks, Hermione’s bandy-legged ginger cat, who wound himself once around Harry’s legs, purring, then jumped onto Sirius’s lap and curled up. Sirius scratched him absentmindedly behind the ears as he turned, still grim-faced, to Harry.

Harry did not mention his vague suspicions to Sirius, whose cheerfulness was evaporating fast now that Christmas was over. As the date of their departure back to Hogwarts drew nearer, he became more and more prone to what Mrs. Weasley called “fits of the sullens,” in which he would become taciturn and grumpy, often withdrawing to Buckbeak’s room for hours at a time. His gloom seeped through the house, oozing under doorways like some noxious gas, so that all of them became infected by it.

sirius always knew he would die in Grimmauld place, but he thought he would be younger

[ayyponine]

not to be a milennial but harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban really is that bitch....

[impishtubist]

Remus artists be like "ah yes the character that canon describes as half-dead, of course that means he's hot and muscular"

[motherfuckingmaneater]

so you like tommary?

No. That is not a term I would use. I have enjoyed the idea of it and can get into it when its well written but i've so far only read one fic i've truly enjoyed and that didn't ship them at all. I am a sucker for time turning AUs in which any character (Harry in this case) is thrown back to another time.

However, in their instance, I don't enjoy when they're shipped/romantic because I just don't think Harry is or has anything special enough to warrant and evoke that kind of emotion or pull from Voldemort who is an otherwise incredibly emotionally closed off person.

Furthermore for the most part Tom/arry fans will very heavily shit on Bellatrix. Most of the time authors are like “ewwww no Voldemort didn’t love Bellatrix he just USED HER he’s not CAPABLE of love she was nothing more to him than his SLAVE” then write Voldemort becoming some kind of idiot obsessive love freak over Harry and have V fall so madly in love with him he changes his evil ways. That puts me off the authors and subsequently their fics, so it's unlikely i'll venture into it again.

I find it kind of repulsive as a ship to be perfectly honest, but I enjoy reading the non romantic or non smut ones and the ones where he heavily manipulates and abu/ses Harry. Unfortunately it's hard to find many of those.

listen, I don't really care about series they gonna shoot, but if they did and by some miracle, remained faithful to books, and reached the 5th book, I'd waste mine more than 20hrs just to watch Order of the Pheonix on screen. Yes, I love every single actor who played in the movies, but I love every single dialogue Dumbledore said, when he fought voldy and more over Sirius' duel with bellatrix and then falling, MOREOVER, Sirius saying only "𝙽𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚎!" And not "𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙅𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨!" Like Big F to whoever wrote that scene hope your pillows remains cold during winters. Like they butchered my man's character 😭😭

[70smarauderz]

Might be a hot take but a major character’s death is really only as good as the weight and the treatment that the narrative gives it. Sure, any author has the ability to write death as they see fit. But whether the consumer (of any given form of media) is actually able to emotionally connect and resonate with the departure of someone who has occupied a good chunk of narrative space very heavily depends on how it’s treated within the story. If it’s a major character, the narrative needs enough built-in breathing space. As in, the consumer doesn’t have to fill in the blanks as to how the death impacted the plot or the remaining characters. Let the narrative do that for them, and that would actually allow the consumer to better react and relate to that major death (sadness, anger, joy, etc). Allow the rest of the characters (who were impacted by the deceased) to react to their parting. Let them engage with the death in a manner that helps justify the character’s inclusion in the narrative to begin with. Make it clear how the character’s life and (especially) their death relate to the larger themes of the story. Because most consumers aren’t stupid. We don’t want our hands held at every waking moment, but we also don’t want our investment in a story to be insulted just for the sake of a cheap shock. Give us time to breathe and grieve. And respect that we have put in a lot of emotional investment in a story and its characters, and we deserve to have that acknowledged.

severus snape walked out of the hospital wing right into the firing line and you're complaining he wasn't nice to sirius afterwards?

[lightgaswaterelectricityrent]

I'm going to be honest I do not really like that that cartoon character is in that gifset I just reblogged. And I'm not sorry for calling him "that cartoon character"

[bikelock28]

"Why d'you always do that?"

"What?"

"Talk about Sirius. You're enough without him, you know,"
