#he is up there with ron

[rt3nenbaum]

fernando saying in an interview that otmar should shut up and not speak at all after aston martin and alpine results this year is what i needed to hear, that man has been disrespecting fernando (and oscar too tbh) for MONTHS and i was tired of fernando not saying anything, i'm glad he finally spoke his mind about this, and everyone saying that fernando shouldn't run his mouth or that he is just playing his “villain” role should also shut up, fernando had to put up with this man calling him old and saying he was just lucky for months, telling him to shut up is the nicest thing he could have done.

literally everything having to do with ron delite is hilarious. doesn't know what he's talking about ever. became a criminal to fuel his wifes shopping addiction. so pathetic that he gets declared innocent for a crime he's guilty of. when asked a question by his own lawyer he asks phoenix what HE thinks. admits to a murder he didnt actually commit several times on accident. found a dead body and instead of calling the cops his immediate, innate reaction was to hide said body. when asked why he hid that body in the safe his response is that it wouldnt fit in a drawer. confesses to being a criminal but the court cant do shit about it because of double jepordy. uses his freedom to run a rehab center for thieves, only to sell heist plans to said thieves. also uses his freedom to team up with his wife to continue stealing. flirts with another man in front of his wife and also an entire courtroom

i think the Conhagers LOVE trains, bringing a new Conhager to look at trains is a rite of passage

tom riddle is a yapper. he loves his monologues and dramatics.

draco malfoy is a yapper. he, too, loves the sound of his voice and dramatics.

ron weasley has no qualms about being loud and seen. he grew up in a large household, fighting to be heard over his siblings.

harry potter grew up in a cupboard, friendless except for the spiders, and learned to subdue and suppress and submit at the dursleys. he isn’t loud, he isn’t boisterous, he isn’t talkative, he doesn’t like socialising, he keeps his opinions in his head and his feelings buried inside, he has very few close friends, he doesn’t reveal his worries and struggles easily, he dislikes showing his pain and weakness, and he sure doesn’t give up his secrets and personal details freely, sometimes not even to ron and hermione.

this is what canon harry’s like—very quiet and an introvert, someone who speaks when spoken to or has cause to broadcast his voice, and someone who’d rather blend into the walls than draw unnecessary attention to himself.

pinterest showed me some screenshots of posts that gave me the concept for an au where both harry and ron are sorted slytherin & draco is just slightly less rude in the first book. i could go into why i think this makes a lot of sense for ron but i won't. i've affectionately dubbed them the platinum quartet in my head and they will not leave me the fuck alone

Drarry where Ron has been frosty and clipped tones the entire time Draco and Harry begin spending time together because he thinks that Harry is replacing him with Malfoy of all people. It's not until they have a row about it that Harry yells,

"I'm in love with him!"

Oh.

Oh.

That's when it all clicks for Ron and he's so relieved that he laughs and laughs before his nose wrinkles because, ew.

Ew.

"Ew, Harry, really?"

But he's okay with it because Malfoy isn't Harry's bestfriend like him, he's the boyfriend which is a significantly worse position. Ron has the better spot in Harry's life, and no one can convince him otherwise

Was watching the local news and one of the news stories help inspire this idea

So it was about big brothers big sisters. Which if you don’t know what that is it’s essentially a mentoring program where older people (like 20s-40s) help mentor the youth (ages 6-18).

Story idea under the cut cause it got long

Tom and Slider who are stationed out in Texas who are like commanders by this point. There’s flyers on base asking service members to volunteer for the program. Slider makes a comment about how nice it would’ve been if he had some like that as a kid (personal headcannon is slider had a shitty home life as a kid). So Tom signs up and gets this kid name Jake.

Jake who is about 11 and kind of scrawny and a bit angry at the world. He’d just been made to move to Texas to live with his aunt after his parents died in a car crash. Jake loves math and planes so it’s an easy decision to match him with Tom.

Tom and Jake get on like a house fire. Jake is always grinning by the time he leaves after spending time with Tom who sees a bit of himself and slider in Jake. This goes on for years. Three years in and slider and Tom have to deploy for a few months. Sure Jake is upset but he pinky promise Tom to be there when their carrier came back. Tom had even given him one of his dog tags to keep safe. Tom had even done the paperwork to ensure Jake would be let on base for it.

Fast forward a few months and the day of return is here. Both slider and ice are excited to see Jake. Tom can’t wait to tell him more stories about flying. The carrier docks and there’s no blonde teen waiting for them. They kinda figure Jake is just sick maybe or had a school thing he couldn’t get out of. Come to find out a week later after Tom hasn’t heard from Jake that the mentoring people tell him Jake was sent to live with other relatives cause Jake’s aunt’s new bf hated Jake. Cue absolute devastation on both slider and ice.

Slider makes a comment a few years later, about the time Jake would be graduating high school, that maybe Jake will be going to the academy and they’ll be able to see him again. They never got Jake’s last name due to privacy reasons when mentoring him and there’s a lot of blond applicants to the academy that year. But ice is holding out hope. He and mav are committed dating at this point. So ice finally tells mav about the kid he mentored. About how he was sad he never got to say goodbye to Jake and how he hopes Jake is doing okay. About how he’s pretty sure Jake and Bradley, if they met, would either be in a fistfight or dating by now. About how sure Tom was that if Jake ever flew he’d be able to outfly them both.

Fast forward many more years, Tom is the COMPACFLT now and the mission has just finished. His husband decides it would be a good idea to invite the daggers over since they’re a permanent squadron now. A blonde kid named Jake is part of it, Tom remembers looking at the kids file and him just being so damn good. Like what he imagined Jake would’ve been like. Tom has given up hope at this point of ever seeing the kid he mentored again.

It’s the day of the bbq mav is throwing for his pilots. Tom is chilling back on the patio as his husband and his husband’s pilots play some dogfight football on the beach behind their house when the pilot named Jake sits on the deck near him.

“I don’t know if you remember me but my name is Jake and you used to mentor me when I was a kid. Down in Texas.”

That gets Ice’s attention who gaze is immediately on him.

“I’m so sorry I wasn’t there when you and slider came back. I wanted to be so damn bad. My aunt’s bf at the time hated my guts. Impersonated her to get me moved to another family members. I ended up in Alaska. Do you know how cold it is there?”

Ice can hear the tears the kid is fighting to keep back as he talks.

“ I still have that dog tag of yours. I wear it every time I fly. I’ve been hoping to run in to you ever since I applied to the academy. I can’t believe it’s taken this long.”

At this point tears are running down both their face as Jake pulls out his tag and nestled in between his shiny tags is a slightly dulled one with Tom’s name on it.

The hug Tom pulls Jake into has every emotion he’s felt since he last saw Jake nearly twenty years ago. Them both crying into each others shoulders. Tom making promises to call slider later and get him out here so Jake can see him again. Promising to tell him all about the deployment he never got to tell him about and all the rest after it.

Mav and Bradley watch from the sand. Mav glad his husband got the kid who he mentored (mav at this point believes Tom would’ve adopted Jake back then given the chance). Bradley coming to the realization that he’s no longer gonna be pops favorite and he’s fine with that if it means his boyfriend got back the man who made him into who he is today.

The next two days passed without great incident, unless you counted Neville melting his sixth cauldron in Potions. Professor Snape, who seemed to have attained new levels of vindictiveness over the summer, gave Neville detention and Neville returned from it in a state of nervous collapse, having been made to disembowel a barrel full of horned toads. “You know why Snape’s in such a foul mood, don’t you?” said Ron to Harry as they watched Hermione teaching Neville a Scouring Charm to remove the frog guts from under his fingernails. “Yeah,” said Harry. “Moody.”

Harry says Neville melted SIX cauldrons at the start of the year (I wonder if Nev himself buys the new ones and they are sent to him via owl post or if he uses the school ones after fucking up his own or what), and Harry is like "oh yeah Snape is so vindictive he gave Neville detention because of Moody and not because Neville melted six cauldrons which is dangerous for the whole ass class, and he also made Neville work with potions ingredients on the detention, how vile of him". Like we literally see that even spilling one of the simplest potions they make on their first class is dangerous enough it can ruin students' boots, and Snape seemingly let the first five (!) cauldrons slide without a detention, but sure, he is evil and excessive.

And a horned toad isn't even a frog, it's a lizard, Harry probably just doesn't know what the hell is it. Even if for some reason it's a totally different species of animal in HP – we know toads are used in potions widely, Snape literally doesn't choose what is a potions ingredient and what isn't. Make a boy who fucks up his potions work with (unpleasant) potion ingredients is a reasonable detention. Snape generally gives adequate detentions for fair reasons.

i think it's interesting that the harry potter series holds up the weasleys as the 'poster child' poor family but given that they are supporting 9 people on Arthur's single salary they aren't doing THAT badly. Yes there's a lot of stuff they can't afford and they have to be careful with their budget but they still seem to live in relative comfort, especially given the large size of their family - there's always enough food on the table, almost all the family members seem to have their own room without having to share, they don't worry about losing their home, the kids don't feel pressured to work during summers to earn enough money so their family can get by, the house is in relatively good condition etc.

this is not to say that you cannot be poor and also have basic comforts or that someone cannot suffer from financial hardship even if they aren't literally starving on the street. but it's striking because of how much more sympathetically the narrative frames the weasleys' poverty than it does the poverty experienced by snape or tom riddle or the gaunts. all these characters are not 'good victims' and do not cope as gracefully with their circumstances without complaining or showing visible signs of it in ways that might make make people uncomfortable. and idk. it's weird and I'm not sure I like it.

I noticed that Matt and Beth tend to (whether willingly or accidentally) create really well earned happy endings for their characters whereas Freddie and Will are really good at ending their characters on bittersweet, or even just straight up tragic notes in a way that feels incredibly fitting. If I had to put it succinctly I guess it'd be:

Matt and Beth's PCs and kin: The narrative feels inevitable but is excapable. You're out and you can heal.

Will's PCs and kin: The narrative is escapable, but not without changing you on a fundimental level. The choices you've made while escaping the narrative haunt you for life.

Freddie's PCs and kin: The narrative feels inevitable and is escapable, but it would require an incredible amount of introspection that this character simply isn't capable of.

Most Slytherin!Harry fics: Ron is an asshole from the beginning despite their acquiantence on the train before he gets better or is an ass throughout

What would really happen: either he'd convince the Sorting Hat to place him in Slytherin so Harry wouldn't be alone there. If not, he'd still be friends with Harry regardless in spite of the reputation that Slytherins and Gryffindors don't mix

[aiuredsworld]

So they said Harry and Draco went to Hogsmeade tgt huh🤨?

relistened to ep1 of tph right after ep22 and just like. the way francis talks before It All.... my god. this was a dumb teen boy whose biggest problem was being sweaty and getting a swirlie every once in a while. but then again you can see the seeds of his violent side already. bcs like fundementally what early-season francis lacked was power and the second he got any power when he got that gun, he blew a kids fucking leg off due to the repressed hatred and cold disgust he felt towards him

geez no wonder the kid thought he was a monster he was just so sick of it from the start!
