#head canon is your canon

[iwriteasfotini]

Someday I hope my child looks at me with wide eyes and says, "but what really happened to Regulus?"

Let me tell you my love, let me tell you...

[iwriteasfotini]

This a thousand times yes!!! Let's take a story with beautiful characters and make them even more beautiful (and tragic). For anyone who finds themselves in the fanfiction space, I believe there was a nugget of doubt, of dissatisfaction for how one person told an epic story in the late nineties and early two-thousands. And how we each find what we are searching for will vary from person to person. But I believe it is all there, buried in canon. It's the magic of the series. It's why we keep coming back and why the opportunity for fanfiction is so rich.

So whether in canon you find Severus one of the most unfairly tragic characters ever, Lily a brushed over phenomena, Regulus an absent major player and complete enigma, James a disappointingly shallow teen, Peter an overly simplified villain, Sirius an untreated trauma survivor, Remus a confusing juxtaposition or Dumbledore a morally grey flawed man who breeds secrecy like thestrals (I believe all of these things), there is always more to uncover. Of the characters we witness alive in canon all are trauma survivors. They are unreliable narrators, whether or not that was the author's original intent. They conflict each other, the memories we see are biased (as are sweeping statements presented as fact), and outside accounts of them in their youth are equally skewed by time and perspective. It is perfect fodder to go with your gut and run wild. And if I have to put in the hours of reading, of dreaming and writing to make it happen, I will. Because it is healing soul magic to find internal peace.

We might not find what we are each searching for in the same place but that doesn't make either of us right or wrong. It makes us both seekers and the space is full of creative interpretations where everyone can find what speaks to them. If you can't find it write it.

“well you cant do that because in canon-“

canon is fake too. i dont know who needs to hear that but it is no realer than anything else. published media does not validate it any more than unpublished media. its still fiction. it doesnt exist. everything is in your head so if i want to make james potter gay for his bestfriends brother then god damn it i will and theres nothing you can do about it. i do not care if its impractical. or improbable. i like it and i will do it and you can all deal with it.

thank you for listening to my ted talk

"Do you miss the time when you used to do no harm?"

Old habits.

Merc behaviour is based on a nice little comment @up-in-flames-writing left on one of my comics :)

Rambling and more silly drawings below.

Loosely based on the Solemn Vow's public blurb:

Art lovers will cherish the bust of Hippocrates, commemorating a time when the Medic still thought doing no harm was a good idea.

I am absolutely convinced that Medic carries dextrose drops with him. German pharmacies throw these after you when you buy anything at all. I went to check if this one specific brand I know of had been around since the 60s and 70s and yes, it was.

Small acts of kindness I can see Medic doing is giving everyone one of these if they are tired. I'm talking about Engineer mostly.

Or they snack on them when solving practical problems together, like during the teleporter bread tumor incident.

To the people saying "Jason wouldn't have jumped into tartarus for Piper, like Percy did for Annabeth" as a way to demean him. Jason, plunged into the sky from the grand canyon to catch Piper in the first few pages of the lost hero without even knowing who she was, and without the knowledge that he could fly. so he basically jumped to his death attempting to catch her. In the first few pages of his journey, he didn't mind dying to save Piper, and ironically, that's also what he did in the last few pages of his journey. Y'all just be making the most out of pocket claims abt jason fr

I wanted to do this meme since I saw the S2 of Earthspark, but I had the inspiration after complaining about It with @sketchy-mf . so:

(ok time to going back to Ao3 reading Fanfiction pretending they're canon in my mind 🙂)

you ask yuuta if he wants a bite of your food and when he says yes you offer your plate to him, but he’s just sat there looking at you with his dumb big bambi boy eyes and his mouth slightly open and he will not look away or blink or close his mouth until you lift your fork to his lips to feed him and then he grins like shit’s sweet and hums about how good the food is like nothing happened like he’s not ridiculously attractive. gonna chew on steel
