#harry potter and the audacity of this bitch

[thebibutterflyao3]

✨This✨

James is a golden retriever, but Harry? Oh no, he is one fiesty bitch! He may have inherited his looks from his father, but Harry James Potter is his mother’s son. There’s a little ego in this kid, but the audacity? Off the charts!

As I reread the series, I’m discovering that Harry was defiant and surly right from the start. He and his mother both grew up in a household with Petunia, after all. They avoid trouble where they can, but are not afraid to fight when they can’t.

While Harry is kind and unfailingly generous, he doesn’t cower at Draco’s insults or question his worth (*coughNevillecough*), even when he’s being awkward as hell. He mirrors the energy that he receives. More than once, Harry was the one to escalate the confrontation that Draco started. Their dynamic is definitely more enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers.

ppl need to stop saying Harry and Draco are black cat x golden retriever. They’re both hissy cats. Are you kidding me. Harry Potter hasn’t had a moment of peace his whole life this boy is so grumpy and sassy and Draco Malfoy is spoiled and a prick and incredibly dramatic. They’re both grumpy. There’s no sunshine. They are each other’s sunshine.

As much as i hate JKR i will not tolerate any slander or hatred aimed towards the kids that get casted in the Harry Potter reboot.

If they get accurate aged kids then they’re gonna be between 10-12/13 years old to represent year 7’s (11-12.) Chances are they’re child actors aiming for a big break which shouldn’t be biased on who they author of the books are or they are being pushed by their parents which is something that happens more often than not.

I refuse. point blank refuse to fuckin ‘cancel’ any kids casted. They are children and they deserve a chance.

I won’t be watching it. But i will not obliterate a child’s chances to succeed based on a woman’s shitty view of human beings

Remembered I'm a whole ass adult and there's no reason I have to put up with anyone's shit if I don't want to, so I cancelled a coffee date with an astoundingly rude lady and I'm now having tea with Mr. Watson at the Baskervilles' manor and waiting for Mr. Holmes to show up. A marked improvement.

People aren't ugly. If you're not attracted to them, you're not attracted to them. That doesn't mean said person is hideous. I think I look like a wildebeast that got steamrolled by a cheetah mid bite, but I know there's at least five to ten people on the planet that think I'm so hot that I'm the creature causing global warming.

I know I sound like a Hallmark card at a Dollar Tree, but people are NOT ugly. I firmly believe this about humans. Their flaws make them beautiful af. Be kind to people. It's not that fucking hard.

Also, why the hell did I end up having this conversation with a grown ass man at a farmers market? I just wanted some fucking carrots.

Mr. "I opened the bag of winds that you explicitly told me not to open because it was dangerous and it led to us being swept further away from home and right into the clutches of Poseidon who then drowned dozens of our friends" Eurylochus then saying to Odysseus "How are we supposed to trust you now?"

Listening to the new Epic album by Jorge Rivera-Herrans and Mr. "We don't have to save them, let's just cut our losses, you and I and let's run" Eurylochus accusing Odysseus of being a monster for sacrificing several men

Piecemealing "In A Perfect World" together. Yet another partial portion of chapter 2 is up.

One day, I endeavour to have the patience to release it all at once.

[abstractdiagram]

My Tomarry fic, tentatively called “Harry Potter and the Lion, the Witch, and the Audacity of This Bitch” is started on Ao3. Yay!!

[yourlocalbadgerscales]

Time to teach you Potterheads something you didn’t know about Harry Potter!

Welcome to my Harry Potter class, assholes. To begin with, I kinda have two native languages because my dad spoke English when talking to me and my mom communicates to me in Swedish. Where I live everyone talks Swedish, so yeah.

I have the whole Harry Potter book series in Swedish (the Swedish version of the first Harry Potter film is so bad I tell you), and here I am now, sitting with my copy of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” in my lap (”Harry Potter och Hemligheternas kammare” in Swedish btw ☺️). I’m currently reading the scene where Tom Riddle is transfiguring those magic letters in the air that spell out his name, and then he switches them and it says “I am Lord Voldemort”. You know what scene I mean I hope.

When I tell you that this scene is so fucking funny in the Swedish version. Swedish for “I am Lord Voldemort” is “Jag är Lord Voldemort”. Therefore, the person who translated this copy had to make that match with his first name, Tom Riddle, somehow. This is where it gets funny. Apparently, they didn’t manage to figure out a way. So this is how they solved it.

His name isn’t Tom Marvolo Riddle in Swedish. It’s fucking Tom GUS Mervolo Dolder.

GUS 😭🤚

“Dold” is one Swedish word for “hidden”, so loosely translated his last name that should be Riddle means “Hidden-er” 💀 At least it’s better than “Gåta”, the Swedish word for Riddle. But wait, there’s more!

That’s only the first set of letters. Then he switches the places of the letters to prove Harry his point. And Harry’s eyes widen in horror… and utter confusion.

EGO SUM LORD VOLDEMORT.

This isn’t Swedish for your information. It’s fucking Latin. Voldemort is there thinking that this 12 year old boy knows Latin.

Because this mf goes: “Do you understand? “Ego sum” in Latin means “I am”, as you very well know.”.

As you very well know. This bitch has the AUDACITY to open a fucking Latin class in the Chamber of Secrets and start educating Harry Potter just before attempting to kill him.

It’s not news that he cares about the kids’ education though, considering that he always attacks Hogwarts at the end of the year. But this takes the cake dude.

Props to Lena Fries-Gedin for the Swedish translation.

RotT ranting ‘cause I need to express my unhappiness.

JIM YOU COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOT!

There is a whole ass 20 min long ep in Trollhunters called ‘Unbecoming’ exploring the question/insecurity of “What if Jim wasn’t the Trollhunter?” The answer clearly shown in the episode is “The whole world will go to shit, and in the end Jim is the Trollhunter, Amulet or not.”

Ya hear that Jim? AMULET or NOT.

So why is it that the 1st thing young Jimmy does when the Amulet breaks is go, “Oh no but can i be a hero without the Amulet?😱” Bitch EXCUSE ME??

Where did all that character development go huh? Up Gunmar’s fat asshole? ‘Cause no way are the writers doing this arc again that they already did very well in a series explicitly dedicated to Jim alone, without the time limit of a movie and the need to include sixty million other main characters from the other shows and all their separate arcs.

But apparently, the writers collectively decided to have selective amnesia that day and completely forgot about the episode dedicated to Jim’s insecurities and doubts. Nice going writers.

And then. And THEN. They have the audacity to take Toby - ma boi TP - and make it so the only thing he can do to help is sacrifice himself for the cause, and then die. Yes, you heard that right. They kill off Toby for shock value.

What. The. Fuck.

Toby is so much more than just the support guy who dies to give the movie a dark edgy “deep” ending. He’s Jim’s best friend, the steady accepting rock that Jim is lost without. It’s not a happy ending if Toby’s not in it. Jim would be broken. But I guess that was probably the point, huh. “Oh no, one of the main chs died, this movie really does have consequences!”

Except it actually doesn’t, because they almost immediately scrap that. See, after Toby’s tragic death - which btw I legit didn’t see coming and was completely confused by. And this wasn’t shock or denial from grief, this was just plain scepticism and confusion. Huh? Ok so did Toby just… die? It’s not a fake-out for drama?

I just sat there for a few minutes waiting for the film to clarify. And then when I realised yes, they did actually kill Toby, I waited a bit more for the film to pull something out of its ass to retcon this. Which it did. And boy was it some retcon.

Time travel. Yep. You heard right, but I’m going to write it again anyway: They used time travel.

Now time travel on its own isn’t a show breaker. Hell, it’s used quite effectively in many stories and movies. Harry Potter PoA case in point. So time travel as a concept isn’t bad. It’s when the time travel breaks the timeline, already existing lore, character development, character integrity, stakes, suspension of disbelief, and makes you feel like nothing you watched mattered, that it becomes bad. Which RotT does. And it’s a dumpster fire.

Jim travels back in time, not to the moment before Toby’s sacrifice, which would have invalidated that sacrifice but might have been bearable. Not to the beginning of the movie, which would have been a bit weird but bearable. No. Go big or go home right? He goes all the way back to Trollhunters Season 1 Episode 1 ‘Becoming’. The beginning of the fucking series.

In case you don’t realise what a colossal screw up this is, let me lay out the situation for you.

So, y’know all those characters you know and love? Y’know how you love them because you’ve seen them grow from idealistic normal kids to responsible and dependable badasses? Y’know how you put your time into watching 88 episodes and 1 movie? Y’know how you witnessed 34 hours of these characters learning and growing and interacting together? Y’know all the highs and lows, the tears and the smiles, the laughs and the cringes, the heartbreak and wholesome? The journey these characters, and this world, has taken? The moments and episodes and people and places you know and have grown to care about?

Well. Take all that, wrap it up really nicely with a bow on top, sign ‘My Childhood’ on it, and then just kinda… throw it in the trash. And then crush it under a trash compactor. And then light the resulting piece of shit on fire.

According to the writers and world and lore and canon, those 88 episodes? They don’t exist. None of that has happened, except in Jim’s head. It’s kinda like the ‘it was all a dream’ stories, but almost worse because that dream is going to happen again.

We know what’s going to happen. Doing it again will feel cheap and boring and flat. Those characters we like ‘cause of character development? Not there anymore. We’re stuck with the simple boring normal versions of them again. And we’ll have to watch them go through the same things as if for the first time just to get to the characters we like. Only it won’t be for the first time. And we’ll know that.

Why would we want this? Writers? Hello? Someone answer me, because I don’t know the reason myself! Why in the everloving shit would we ever want to retcon 32 hours of viewing experience, just to do it all. Over. Again. There is no reason. Because we don’t want to.

Hell, even Jim probably doesn’t want to! The writers made it so he still remembers everything, so do you know how much trauma this guy probably has by now? Let’s see:

Bular trying to kill him, Draal trying to kill him, Goblins trying to kill him, Nomura trying to kill him, Gladys trying to kill him, the Stalkling trying to kill him, lightning trying to kill him, Strickler trying to kill him, lying to his Mom, Golems trying to kill him, Gato trying to kill him, Angor Rot trying to kill him, Pixies being pixies, his Mom almost being killed, Aaarrrgghh being killed.

The Darklands trying to kill him, Nyarlagroths trying to kill him, Gumm Gumms trying to kill him, Dictatious trying to kill him, Gunmar trying to kill him, the Gruesome trying to kill him, Usurna trying to kill him, the Deep trying to kill him, Vendal being killed, Otto trying to kill him, Trollmarket’s citizens being killed, Claire almost killing herself. Claire getting possessed and trying to kill him, Draal being killed, Merlin trying to kill him, Jim killing his humanity, the sun trying to kill him, Morgana trying to kill him.

The Green Knight trying to kill him, Arthur trying to kill him, Guards trying to kill him, Aaarrrgghh trying to kill him, the Arcane Order trying to kill him, Jim trying to kill his friends, Merlin being killed, Jim being killed. Nari trying to kill him, Numora being killed, Strickler being killed, Archie and Charlemagne being killed, the world being killed, Toby being killed.

Yeahhh. He’s got trauma. He’s got trauma for days. Hey, you know what’s great for someone who has trauma? Putting them back into the traumatic situation and doing it again! I’m sure their mental health won’t completely crumble under the stress. This is going to go great! Not.

And that’s not even the worst part. Haha ohhh no!

The worst part - by FAR - is that this stupid garbage excuse for a movie not only forgets about ‘Unbecoming’ once, but twice.

During the bulk of the movie, Jim struggles with feeling like he can’t be a hero without the Amulet. During the end of the movie though, after Jim’s successfully time travelled to the writers’ heart’s content, Jim forgets the other major lesson of Unbecoming, the part about what happens if Jim isn’t the Trollhunter. Don’t remember? Here’s a friendly reminder from before:

“The whole world will go to shit, and in the end Jim is the Trollhunter, Amulet or not.”

Did you catch that first part? Ahem.

“THE WHOLE WORLD WILL GO TO SHIT.”

If Jim is not the Trollhunter, if he does not pick up the Amulet and stop the Bridge from forming, and kill Bular and Gunmar and Angor Rot, the whole world goes to complete, absolute, no holds barred, shit. And what does Jim do at the end of the movie, having seen in terrifying detail exactly what that kind of future is? Why, he makes Toby the Trollhunter of course!

I- I can’t. I just can’t with this movie. How-? Why-? Just why. Why do this? Jim, you remember what happened last time you refused the call, right? You- you do remember, right??

Killahead opens. Bular is still alive. Gunmar and the whole Gumm Gumm army is free. Arcadia’s population of humans is eaten alive. Trollmarket is overrun. There are Changelings and Goblins and all kinds of Darklands creatures everywhere. No-one can kill Gunmar because the Amulet is broken, which means no Eclipse Armor.

Merlin’s staff is most likely taken by the bad guys, since the Amulet can’t lead any GGs to it first. Merlin is crushed to death without waking. Morgana is freed. The Eternal Night is upon us. Humanity is eaten. The Arcane Order turns everything back to the Stone Age with no one to stop them. The Arkiridians land on Earth and are probably killed. There goes Arkiridian-5’s royal family. General Morando becomes Gaylen and battles the Arcane Order for ultimate supremacy over the Universe.

This is the Bad Timeline. Everything sucks.

Jim. Jim buddy. Buddy ol’ pal. Jimbo. Why in the everloving fuck would you do this? It’s official, I think the writers have amnesia. They forgot that whole episode, apparently it wasn’t there.

And wait a minute- who ever said Jim could give the Amulet to Toby in the first place? It’s not, like, really his choice? Sure he rejected it in ‘Unbecoming,’ but that was mainly Merlin’s choice to make Draal the Trollhunter instead of Jim to teach Jim a lesson. Key word: Merlin’s choice. Because it’s Merlin’s Amulet, and he chooses who the next Trollhunter is.

Why would Merlin choose Toby just because he sacrificed himself in the future? Toby is, no offence Toby, not a logical choice to be Trollhunter. At this point in the story he’s not very fit, doesn’t seem to want the kind of adventure Jim does in the first episode, and he doesn’t have any fighting skills.

It’s only Jim’s expertise in cooking that lets him live in that first battle with Bular. Toby doesn’t have cooking skills. He will die on the first night, and then the Amulet will choose Jim again, but this time he’ll have even more added trauma.

And let's put aside the plot relevance of how much of a horrifying choice anyone who’s not Jim having the Amulet is for a sec. Plot aside, Jim as a character would never in his LIFE give Toby the Amulet. Because it’s not just a glowing amulet with cool armour and a sword for someone who’s worthy.

It’s a burden.

It’s a burden and a responsibility. It’s a lifelong commitment to putting others first. To making hard choices and having to live with the consequences of them in the aftermath. To giving every part of yourself, to sacrificing everything you are, so that someone else can be saved. Two worlds on the Trollhunter’s shoulders. Human and Troll.

That weight is something Jim has not wanted so many times. He’s admitted or complained or sighed or yelled that sometimes he wants to get to be a normal kid, live longer than high school, not worry about someone trying to kill him or someone else all the time.

The Trollhunter doesn’t get that luxury. Rule number one: Always be afraid. The Trollhunter can never stop being afraid. Their whole life from this point until DEATH is dedicated to this destiny of fear and hunting and protection.

Jim, who cares for and loves his best friend as a brother, would never ever push that kind of life and responsibility onto Toby and call it something good. The sole reason Jim went back in time at all was to save Toby. There is NO universe in which Jim willingly and happily then takes Toby’s life and shoves him into the path of Bular, and Strickler, and Angor Rot, and Gunmar.

And the icing on the fucked up cake is that the only way Jim managed to kill Gunmar was by turning into a troll. By giving up his life as a human teenager with a human family. By becoming a species with a lot of instincts and traits most others would label as monster. By giving up his life in the sun. By giving up part of his humanity.

Jim would NEVER force Toby into having to make that kind of choice. And I am ashamed of the writers who thought that he would.

I’m seeing people reblogging posts of quotes from video games about hope and it’s reminding me of that post that I can’t find right now about someone’s friend trying to comfort them by singing Steven Universe songs and they got so confused and so offended by the audacity and the sheer absurdity they stopped crying. It reminds me of those Harry Potter bitches who quote dumbledore because they’re #inspirational or whatever it’s so overwhelmingly cheesy and tasteless considering everything. Put the damn video game down and come up with words that are your own so you actually mean it this time for the love of god

i can’t believe ppl actually get crazy over fictional stuff 😭 like honestly as someone who prefers reading yandere/dark content i don’t tell ANYONE cuz i already know they would try and start shit 😭 i’m wondering if anyone has attacked you for tsunami specifically?

not for tsunami (I don't wanna put "yet" but its bound to happen), but for my old harry potter/percy jackson series that I made before

Basically, the main couple's problematic as hell. The ML is essentially a yandere and the FL has rose-tinted glasses and is desperate for love and acceptance due to trauma so she let's his unhinged behavior go.

They finally got together in the end of Book 4 and I made a list of warnings about the dark content that's gonna happen in the future. At the start of book 5, I reminded them of the warnings again in the introductory, but once the dark stuff started to show up, I got some readers being shocked, pissed, and disturbed by it. Even all the way into book 6, they were still there whining about the same thing

It was absolutely annoying because when I called them out on it, some of them said they didn't "see" the warnings which is amazing because I literally put those warnings at the intro of every book and I talked about how toxic they were gonna be in the author notes?? the same a/n where I put my memes in and they COMMENT on them??

And then the other half, I knew were just idiots because I saw them comment on the list of warnings in wattpad every fucking time. Their comments didn't even seem bothered?? Some of them were like "oh wow" or "shit's gonna go down" and then fast-forward, they're suddenly acting aghast about the very things they knew were gonna happen 💀

If they chose to deliberately ignore my many warnings then that's not my fault, that's on them. But they kept bitching at me about it anyway even several books later.

That's akin to telling someone "hey don't drink this bottle, there's dangerous chemicals in it" and that person drinks it anyway and has the audacity to be mad at YOU for it???

Anyways, so far I got no complaints about Tsunami but... it's probably gonna happen eventually. My other fics aren't as dark as this one so I'm bound to get some haters on my ass despite me warning them in the introduction AND at the beginning of every chapter that features said dark content 😩

I'll be fine though 💖 Most of those haters came from wattpad and well... it's wattpad so yeah. I cross-post on quotev and ao3 too. I rarely get complaints in quotev, and while i'm still new-ish to ao3, people there seem very mature and ok with dark stuff

[passionfruitmango]

This might get a little trauma dumpy

[Upd8, it is]

I was just watching this reel about being a kid and recognizing when one of your friends came from a "weird" family. Well I didn't share the reel on fb because "underwear dinner" sounds like some fucked up shit the person that made the reel had to experience.

But it started with them talking about going to a friend's house, getting offered a snack and drink like normal, kids friend takes his mom up on the Bud Light and mom was "I'm a cool mom you can only have a sip" and left it in reaching distance from him, kid kept sipping whenever mom turned his back whatever

Okay so that reminded me of when I was 15, got invited to my 16 year old friends family cabin. They went yearly, she got to bring a different friend each summer, I was the "lucky choice" that summer. Everything was semi fine and fun until one of the other parents made me and my friend a drink, my friend said they have them all the time at the cabin, I was wondering why it tasted like shit but they told me it was pineapple.

They fucking gave me a piña colada without telling me. At 15. I was NOTORIOUSLY LOUD about being "straight edge" and THIS FRIEND KNEW THAT!!! SHE COULD HAVE TOLD ME AND JUST SHRUGGED IT OFF.

I obviously didn't drink it once i heard said parent say piña colada and not just "a drink" and then my friend and said parent still had the audacity to make me feel bad for not wanting it???

Hindsight is insane because this friendship fizzled out over high school, I had another mutual friend try to invite me to hang out with this friend again as adults, and genuinely this friend was never my friend and if I'm being honest is probably racist or just doesn't like non white people.

This bitch (the OG friend not the one that invited me to see said friend) had the AUDACITY to guilt trip me when I said I wouldn't be joining the group to do an escape room. Why? I told them I had zero interest in a Harry Potter themed escape room because i NEVER got into it like they did, and would prefer we do one of the other 2-3 options listed. Well because I was the "only one" who wasn't interested, they just chose to "do the Harry Potter one anyway" because "I should be able to figure it out" LOLNO Imma just not go then.

She tried to guilt trip me because she had to "change the cheesecake factory reservations last minute" LOOOOOOL GET FUCKING REAL.

This OG friend didn't invite me to her wedding either and everyone at Bar Trivia (the get together our mutual friend invited me to, which I thought went well, then covid hit, bar trivia was canceled, but they just HAD to go to the cities as a group to do "fun stuff!") was talking about how great a time they had and all these little moments only they'd understand, meanwhile I was just sitting there sipping on my drink fake smiling like c:

Good riddance I definitely blocked the OG friend on everything after I realized what a sour taste it left in my mouth, and now I've noticed 2 of the 3 friends that were present at Bar Trivia that night are also now colder to me!!! Luckily my original mutual that invited me is still in touch. It's just fucked to see people you were super close to make no effort to want to be around you or include you.

But I'm sure if I mentally went back through my memories, hindsight would show me a fuck ton more.

Just like how I just remembered this OG friend is the same person who made me cry during my first and only time playing "strip uno" because she wanted to play it for her birthday. "I don't know why you're hiding hunched over like that, you just look worse" OH BUT THE OTHER GIRL WHO SAID NO TO PLAYING DIDNT GET TREATED LIKE ME. MAYBE BECAUSE SHE WAS ALABASTER PALE.

Fuck you [redacted], you fake ass cunt.
