Fanfic should be allowed (and encouraged) to be bad!!!!!
It's a hobby!!
I read over my first fanfic (which was literally only posted 4 months ago) and was amazed at how bad it was compared to my writing now (which still isn't great but even I could see a massive improvement)
I would have stopped trying if it wasn't for amazing friends and strangers who kept encouraging me and I can only think how much better I might be in a year, 2 years, 5 years time!
So thank you fanfic for making me happy (both reading and writing).
Thank you fanfic authors for sharing your thoughts, feelings and stories.
Thank you Fandom for letting us all be absolute nerds and imagine and create!
Not every adult knows how to be this silly, creative and free and I'm so happy I found this outlet xx

I feel like this entire fandom got as far as "Dumbledore had a messed up past!" and turned off their brains from there
This drives me so fucking nuts.
Dumbledore WAS attached to an extremist group in his youth-- Grindelwald's "greater good" was an ideal he believed in, it's true.
UNTIL it wasn't any more.
It fucking pisses me off when people write fics about Harry having to deal with "greater good" phase Dumbledore because!!! the whole point is that he saw the error of that way of thinking!!! He deconstructed and decided to avoid positions of political power!!! That's why he refused to be minister, not because he wanted to keep manipulating from the shadows or whatever but literally because he did not trust himself with that much power!!! The existence of the prophecy put him in a deeply strained situation between "I have a duty, a responsibility, as a person with the abilities and experience I have, to do everything in my power to stop Voldemort" vs "I literally do not trust myself in positions of power or responsibility because I have proven to myself in the past that I cannot be trusted." He doesn't want to make it a numbers game! He wants Harry to grow up and live happily ever after, so much so that he nearly destroys all of his own plans in order to achieve that end! Calling Dumbledore manipulative and equating that with him being bad is such a shallow take. Yes, he's manipulative; that doesn't make him evil! If slytherin ambition and slyness can be positive traits why are you intentionally plugging your ears to avoid letting machiavellian manipulation be used for a positive end as well? Is it because you decided in your edgy middle school phase that the Light Side are Secretly Evil and the Dark Side is Tragically Misunderstood and you haven't grown or matured since then? Did you completely miss the part where Dumbledore utterly despises himself with his whole being? Did you miss the part where he made the choices he thought he had to, not because he wanted to but because they were necessary, and even then he couldn't keep from sabotaging himself in the hope that Harry might get just one more happy year, one more happy month with his friends instead of having to fight or die in a war he shouldn't have had to face? Grow the fuck up. Do you want me to get on your level? If you think Dumbledore was "raising Harry like a pig for slaughter" you're agreeing with Professional Racist and Child Abuser Severus Snape. You're agreeing with the guy who quit the KKK not because he didn't agree with them anymore, but because the girl he wanted to be his exception didn't survive her family's honor killing to marry him instead. How's that for a childish argument? Does that get through your thick skull? Does that appeal to your barely pubescent sense of morality? "It's for the greater good" my ass. If your year-5 or -6 Dumbledore is still making Greater Good arguments then you've accidentally transposed him with the teenage version of himself that Rita Skeeter exhumed for clout and controversy. Dumbledore was a highly intelligent cult victim who got out and never trusted his own perception of a situation again but still did his fucking best, okay? get over your authority issues without reasonable solutions, deprogram yourself, deradicalize yourself, and figure out that people are still people no matter their past mistakes and when they're genuinely doing the best they can, especially when they're drowning and alone and trying to make the best of a shitty situation for everyone involved, maybe have like. A single ounce of compassion instead of declaring them wholly evil without possibility of parole.

Tom Riddle ReDraw
So I was reminiscing with my coworker about cringey old usernames we had used in the past. I looked up one of my old accounts from way back and lo-! Some of my art was still there, ripe for the picking. I was determined to not have the redraw also in profile because as you’ll see with the next hp teenage-art redraw, my comfort zone with faces was quite obvious.
I’m pretty happy with the improvement, here. Thank you bb Bosh for never giving up on your dreams and aspirations✨
Can you take a guess what’s in the 2nd drawing from way back? Hint: it’s not who you’re thinking.

And that’s when it really sinks into Draco’s half-pickled brain: Harry Potter is a vampire. “Holy shit,” he coughs out. Not his most eloquent, but he thinks he ought to be excused for not thinking clearly, because Harry Potter is a fucking vampire. “W-what…” he says, and Draco feels better that Potter’s not any more articulate. Then his eyes narrow in suspicion. “Are you thtalking me?” And Draco can feel his jaw hit the floor again. “Are you lisping?” Potter glowers and completely ignores the question in favor of rephrasing his own. “Are you following me?” Draco shakes his head. “Everyone thinks you’re dead. And you’re not, well, you sort of are, but… fucking hell. What happened?” His mind feels hazy and slow and he really wishes he hasn’t had so much to drink. “You should go home,” Potter says, staring at him so intently that it makes Draco a little uncomfortable. “You should go home and forget that you thaw me here tonight.” Draco blinks at him. “Are you trying to Beguile me?” Potter looks startled again. “It’th not working?” “Of course not!” Draco tells him, and he really has to fight to keep back a laugh because Potter just looks so disappointed. “That shit only works on Muggles, you berk.” He studies Potter. “How long has it been since you were turned?” “That’th none of your buthinethh,” Potter says indignantly, still lisping around his fangs. “It’s not, really,” Draco allows. “It’s just that… you’re really quite bad at this whole being-a-vampire thing, aren’t you?” Potter somehow looks embarrassed and indignant at the same time. “It’th not like it came with inthtructionth.”

The fact that a unverified leak on Imane being quote, a biological man, is enough to get JK finding a two month old tweet from a supporter of Imane and retweeting it to start shit up again is just the defintion of sad and concerning. Sad because what happened to that book she said she's writing thought that'll be taking up her time not transphobia and concerning because she and other terfs are spreading a unverified leak just because they wanna attack Imane again.

really weird thing ive noticed lately re: hermits getting critiqued for stuff theyve said or done is that as soon as someone holds a shit opinion (even if it's just them being stupid, or a centrist, or saying a bad word without knowing what it means, or whatever) people immediately seem to flock to the 'this guy should die' 'kys' 'why are we giving this person a platform' rhetoric and like. that's not how meaningful change is made?
like, yeah, if one of my beloved CCs posted a tweet or video tomorrow about how much they hate gay people, or believe in conservative ideals, or they just said a bunch of slurs or whatever (these are hyperbolic examples obviously) then yeah, fuck them, they should go rot. but like, having some dumb takes, or saying bad things in the past, doesn't = evil terrible person...
idk, i feel like we can critique content creators without getting so insane about it. like, shit, there are things some of my favourites do that i don't like, but theyre not even really worth bringing up tbh. unless its something actually important, i feel like it just creates more drama out of nothing and all these assholes come crawling out of the woodwork to tell everyone how much they hate that creator. or find their content boring anyway so clearly they have no real merit to anyone.
more of an explanation of what i mean in the tags but yeah.
#this is kind of about ppl finding out x is a centrist and... apparently that means telling him 'kys' is ok#i dont even like centrism but like... wasnt he super right wing at one point? is this not at least a mild improvement? he's just some guy#i like his content. dont care enough to get into drama about him being a 'we should all just talk it out!' kinda guy. who give a shit.#this is also kinda about doc's little rant on twt about plestine/isral (spelling to not clog tags) which was basically just -#- 'stop asking me to speak on these things 1. i could get into legal trouble 2. i stopped talking about politics years ago for good reasons#which like. isnt my favourite response to things? but i also Get It yknow?#it wasnt as big of a deal as ppl seemed to think it was#(especially since he very clearly retweeted donation post and said hes against innocent ppl dying. which is pretty clear to me.)#anyway the milder things im talking about here is like. harry potter references or mild orientalism re: 'asian-style' builds#like. i could go mad about that but i really dont give a shit#i dont#and like im a hard leftist. but i just do not care. so long as they arent a massive right winger or a creep im fine#*i say massive right winger but tbh i kind of mean right winger at all. i just dont give a shit about ccs wanting to remain more centrist#especially online.#anyway#hermitblr#hermitcraft#mcyt#discourse#ben chats shit on the internet#to clarify im not tryna say that its cool to play both sides politically but also i dont think bringing up a 4 year old post -#- to stir up drama is very genuine. looking at the notes i just see a lot of 'wow fuck this guy i hate his content anyway' and its like. ok

the last enemy to defeat (is your heart) by SquibNation10 / @blackseatwenty
Death conquered, Tom (known as Lord Voldemort), rules the immortal world with an iron fist, his Death Eaters are heroes and the Capital is his own self-built heaven. Yet beneath the surface of this seemingly idyllic existence, there lurk whispers of rebellion, an impending Muggle War and fears of magic disappearing for good... Enters the Last Immortal Son, born as the seventh month dies, overturning all of his carefully laid plains...

book fans can go off all they want and state how CaSsAnDrA cLaRe HaS sO mUcH rEpReSeNtAtIoN but let me yell it in case anyone missed it:
IT DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER IF YOU ADD LGBTQ+, POC, DISABILITIES, ADOPTION, DRUG ADDICTION, CHRONIC ILLNESSES- IF YOU DONT WRITE THEM HOW THEY DESERVED TO BE WRITTEN THEN THERE IS NO REPRESENTATION. THERE IS NO REPRESENTATION SO LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE
please we are tired of seeing ourselves being misrepresented and we hate seeing the characters we do like getting treated wrongly. we can tell you don’t like those characters or the storylines. I can tell when there isn’t effort. it’s very bloody obvious.
I’m so fucking tired of seeing “omg CC has done so much representation and has changed her ways.” what has she changed? because she’s still doing the same shit she always does. finds an excuse to use incest, putting the lgbtq+ characters on the back burner, giving POC characters the short end of the stick and the shittiness, stereotyping the fuck out of disabilities. I’m not sorry but I don’t see any progress or any improvement. she’s still dragging out plot lines and putting her fav white toxic irritating boys front and center. as far as I can tell, not much has changed
I’m tired of seeing posts that aren’t with the anti tag because some of these fans are insanely terrifying. going to the ends of the earth to “prove” CC is a god who can’t do wrong and defending every little problematic storyline
