#it was literally just like drarry but canon

[1doesnotsimplyhavejust1fandam]

Being so serious right now, but I think if a noncanon ship (especially a queer ship!!!) has enough deeply unquestionably queer scenes to make an edit of over a minute, they should be automatically declared canon. And if one or more characters is already in a canon relationship, congratulations, they are now in a trouple (or more)! Because the amount of noncanon queer ships that have so much more than just a minute’s worth of very queer scenes is getting ridiculous. Ship wars aside, it would bring so much joy and satisfaction because yes, we were right, and we knew it, even when the writers or source material didn’t want us to be

[hedwigette]

Come on.

Saying that Harry actually was so obsessed with Draco and knew everything about him but Draco didn't is literally the anti-thesis of the nature of their relationship.

And saying that Harry had a crush on Draco during Hogwarts is quite bold when Harry couldn't give two f about him until Draco became an active threat to his home and friends.

We literally had a scene where Harry saw Draco Malfoy cry to Myrtle and then he was like "oh maybe he's not a horrible bully, heartless coward that gets away with his shitty attitude. Maybe he's got a bit of a heart somewhere inside of him."

Harry has always thought that Draco was his archenemy because he knew where to hurt and he bullied him (btw just because Harry defended himself doesn't mean he's not a victim). Draco always thought that Harry was an obnoxious, loud, "big man", "perfect Potter" who can do no wrong.

But in this bathroom scene Harry was confronted with the fact that he was wrong about him.

And we don't know what Draco thought in this scene but something tells me he started to view Harry as a human instead of an objectified, glorified, cold and obnoxious boy who dared to defy the Dark Lord (cue of the fact that it was Parkinson who spread the story - not Draco and we all know he would have taken this opportunity against him).

We literally have the first development of their relationship right there!! It's not the sectumsempra that really impacted their views of each other (it did a bit), but it was with Draco crying how hard it was to accomplish this mission and Harry seeing his desperation that developed their relationship !!

(also, I read on live journal that before the release of HBP, drarry fans were literally begging for a scenario like this because they knew that to make drarry work Draco needed to be challenged with hardship and Harry needed to see that. Draco needed to change as a person and change his view on Harry and Harry only needed to change his views on him).

It's with Draco changing his attitude that makes Harry more inclined to pity him.

But Harry wasn't obsessed with him. Draco is the one who's been running after him, chasing him down in the hallways and disrupting his quidditch matches or his plans.

Harry just wanted to live his life, Draco is the one who kept bothering him.

And no. Harry is hyperaware of his environment because of the Dursleys where he had to watch out for every wrong move. That's why he notices a lot about Draco. He doesn't trust him so he keeps an eye on him to avoid him better.

Why do we have to undermine Harry's cleverness and skill to ship drarry when we literally have a canon development of their relationship?

[castrotophic]

i mean listen im all for shipping noncanon things. i LOVE shipping noncanon things personally!! and i even agree that often there is a significant amount of subtext in media that implies a noncanon ship and i love looking for that subtext!! but what i HATE is when people take VERY OBVIOUSLY NONCANON ships with ABSOLUTELY NO STANDING and try to force canon to agree. even if i like the ship its so frustrating like guys we have fandom for a reason... we can make stuff up we dont have to prove it... please stop

Snaters and their 13 excuses:

1) He was obsessed with lily

2) He bullied kids

3) He was Neville's greatest fear

4) At least marauders grew up, Snape never did

5) He was a racist

6) He called lily a mudblood

7) He's a n*zi

8) He studied DA

9) He joined what kills lily

10) It was a rivalry so he hexed James back.

11) he was the cause of breaking that friendship with lily.

12) Snape changed only for lily. He would've let Neville die. He even didn't want to safe harry and James. He was fine killing a BABY.

13) Snape CHOSE to go, it isn't Sirius his fault

Why they are excuses, people might ask? Because snaters have double standards. While they allow one thing from another, they hate it on Snape.

Example:

People hate Snape because he's a DE. What do those people like?

- Voldemort

- Bellatrix

- Narcissa

- Lucius

- Evan Rosier

- Barty Crouch Jr

- Draco

- Regulus Black

Characters that are by "canon" reference described as beautiful. But actually it's just fans assuming they are beautiful because Sirius is from house Black and described as stunning while actors portraying the other characters are also good looking. Yet Snape joined DE but is hated and is the only character pressed on being "ugly"

Snaters hate any ship with Snape in it because Snape is a DE. Thus hating snily for example. Same people love:

- Jegulus

- Tomarry

- Drarry

- Dramione

- Lucissa

- Rosekiller

Snaters that use reason that joining DE is so awful and horrible that I am basically a Nazi to talk good about it. Same people either read or write fanfics that romanticizes DE. How do they romanticize it? Either their favourite character is or joins DE to protect their loved ones.

Snaters that use the reason that Snape bullied kids, also love teachers like:

- Minerva

- Albus

- Remus

- Hagrid

Teachers that literally almost killed children. I mean if you insist that bullying is bad, how come you downplay murder attempts?

That's why they are excuses. It's double standards and cherry picking.

[hyperfixationsruleme]

Fanon Drarry is so amazing to me because I wanted them to be together romantically but whatever exists of CANON DRARRY is just so important to me that it's crazy!??!!

Like Draco Malfoy is the very first (other than Hagrid but thats a specific situation where someone had to bring him in) wizard Harry meets when he is introduced to the magical world. His very first peer. It was literally fate, like hello?

‘Hullo,’ said the boy, ‘Hogwarts too?’

‘Yes,’ said Harry." :(((((

Dobby was literally a Harry Potter Wikipedia page from how much, it can be justifiably inferred, Draco spoke about Harry constantly.

Simply the amount of effort that Draco put towards getting Harry's attention. Going to shake his hand, waiting around every corner to tease him, making enchanted badges to rile him up, etc.

Draco choosing to not give up Harry's identity in Malfoy Manor.

Harry saving Draco's life in the room of requirement.

Draco, while being wandless, screaming at Crabbe and Goyle to not kill Harry in the room of requirement.

The amount of times Harry describes Draco's glittering eyes and white blonde hair:)

Harry obstructing and blurring the fact that Draco was involved with Dumbledore's death on the Astronomy Tower

The way Harry constantly clocks whether Draco is the room immediately, whether it be during an exam, Quidditch, the Courtyard.

Harry stunning the death eater threatening Draco during the Battle of Howarts, even though Draco is literally telling the death eater that he is on his side.

Harry using Draco's wand in Deathly Hallows.

I'm not saying it was always positive because they were strong rivals and it was often negative, but you cannot deny that the obsession was there. They were, since Harry's very first hour in the Wizarding World, tied together by some force. I just choose to see it as some kind of string that binds them together, and that maybe, in another universe, those undeniably strong feelings are nurtured into love.

Me: I'm in a lot of fandoms! Avatar: The Last Airbender, Miraculous Ladybug, Voltron: Legendary Defender, Cobra Kai, Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, and more!

X person: Oh! Really? What are your favorite ships of those fandoms?

Me: Zukaang, Zukka, Lukadrien, Klance, Lawrusso, Thranakin, Obimaul, Spideyflash, Parksborn, Drarry and Hedric!

X person: Wait- so you ship two men instead of the main straight canon couple? You hate women!

Me: What-? I literally also like femslash ships! And some straight ships and polyamorous straight/queer ships too! How is that hating women???

X person: No, don't say anything else. You're just a fucking misogynist. Period.

Me: ?????

Nah because imagine being so stupid that you think the reason why people dislike/hate some straight ships is because they hate women 💀 They're probably the same people who call you racist just because you hate a bad-written black character, claiming you hate them because they're black💀

[hollowed-theory-hall]

What are your thoughts on drarry?

spireasalix asked:

Hi! I just found your blog and find your theories really interesting. I don't know if anyone has asked you before, but what do you think of Draco Malfoy? Do you think he would have a chance with Harry? Could they fall in love or there is too much history between them? Let's make Harry/Draco canon! Hahahaha

Hi, thank you so much! 😊

Since it's a ship/character ask I want to preface that everyone can ship what they want and like whatever characters they want and this is my personal highly subjective opinion.

I'll start with my thoughts on Drarry, as I had an arc there, like, back when I just got into the fandom I really liked the concept of Drarry, so I read some Drarry and didn't like most of what I found back then. That dislike kinda colored Drarry and Draco's character as a whole for me, so it was kinda like: "I can see the appeal on paper, but I don't like it". More recently though I read a lot about canon Drarry from @iamnmbr3 and she honestly got me rethinking my opinion on Draco and Drarry.

As I stand on it now, I'm not invested in Drarry, but I see them occasionally on my dash and sometimes I like what I see. It's the: yeah, I can see it happen, but it's not a pairing I'm passionate about.

Now, to @spireasalix more specific questions.

Draco Malfoy is an interesting character in theory but I don't think it comes across in the books as much as it could. Like, in books 1-5, I find him an annoying spoilt little brat. It can be entertaining when he comes on the page, and I know he'd be whining and dramatic and make a scene. And it makes sense Draco is this way, he's an only child of very rich parents who love him, he looks up to his father like Lucius could do no wrong, but he is lonely and attention-seeking. This need for attention is interesting and is part of why he is so obsessed with Harry. It shows he wants approval and is actually quite insecure under all his pride and mean attitude. He was raised to be a blood-supremacist spoilt jerk, and he does a decent job at being a schoolyard bully without crossing any super major lines.

Younger Draco can be a fun character, he's a problem Harry feels comfortable with because he knows how to deal with him, unlike his other problems (of which he has a lot). I think part of why Harry focuses on Draco as much as he does is because Draco is a predictable problem, one Harry feels he has control over how he wants to deal with him. Which is comforting considering how little control he has over literally every other area of his life.

Then in books 6 and 7, that's when Draco starts actually having his character development, and there are interesting things there, or the potential for them. I love what he goes through, becoming a Death eater only to realize, that: no, he can't really do violence. The constant fear for himself and his family, the torture he most likely goes through, being a prisoner in his own home, like, there is so much potential good angst there but I don't feel like the books really take it as far as it can go.

I recently finished my reread of HBP, and Draco in it was having a crap time, truly. He partially brought it on himself, but he really was thrown into the deep end and he is flailing around to keep his head above water regretting ever asking to leave the kiddie pool (because make no mistake, he asked to be in the grown-ups' pool). And you see how he matures there, going from a spoilt brat to a terrified teen. In one summer he went from the top of his own little world to seeing how powerless he actually is. And, like, out of everyone, the person he apparently confides in is Moaning Myrtle, like, idk, I love that, I think this friendship should be mentioned more. Like, Draco is having a crisis over his family, his worldview, his own worth, being a Death Eater and what it means, and his confidant is the ghost of a muggleborn girl who Tom Riddle, his new master, killed. Like, there are some implications.

I find it fascinating Myrtle says this about Draco:

“No,” said Myrtle defiantly, her voice echoing loudly around the old tiled bathroom. “I mean he’s sensitive, people bully him too, and he feels lonely and hasn’t got anybody to talk to, and he’s not afraid to show his feelings and cry!”

(HBP, 462)

That combined with the fact that Draco doesn't ever really try to harm Harry too badly (@iamnmbr3 wrote many great posts about this). Like, at the beginning of HBP, he has Harry petrified and he just breaks his nose. And this is already after he becomes a Death Eater. He also helps Harry multiple times throughout Deathly Hollows, something that places him and his family at risk.

And, yes, he makes some attempts to kill Dumbledore that harm others (the cursed necklace that hurt Katie Bell and the poison Ron drank) but I think the methods he uses are telling. Draco attempts to kill Dumbledore with methods where he himself is far away from the action. You can say it's due to a Slytherin sense of self-preservation, and that's part of it, I'm sure, but I think the main part of it is that Draco is averse to violence. At the end when he was face to face with Dumbledore he couldn't bring himself to cast the curse. Dumbledore was disarmed and surrounded, there was nothing he could've (or would've) done to hurt Draco, but Draco still hesitated. He couldn't kill him even when his own life and his family's were on the line. Harry also talks about how much Draco is likely hurt from having to torture others on Voldemort's orders in Deathly Hollows, and I think Harry is spot on about it.

If we look at the bullying of younger Draco, he doesn't act out violently. He is the cruel words and insults type, and I remember being honestly surprised he physically hit Harry in HBP because it's not the sort of thing Draco does. So, while Draco as schoolyard bully is mean, he practically is never shown to be physically violent, at least not that I remember. He only starts being more of a physical threat in HBP, and in the cases of Ron and Katie, he does so from a distance in a way he isn't directly involved in the violence.

That being said, while what he goes through is interesting and has plenty of potential and I do like his character, I find him kinda annoying. Like, in my very subjective opinion, I find his whining in the early books incredibly annoying and I find him, even in the later books, kinda underwhelming. Like, I want more out of his character, idk. Like, really, all power to you for liking Draco, he just, unfortunately, doesn't make it into my top Harry Potter characters purely because of personal subjective bias.

Like, for all of Draco being a Slytherin from a long line of Slytherins, he doesn't showcase many Slytherin characteristics (yes, that's something I dislike about his character, go figure 🤷‍♀️). Like, Draco isn't cunning, like, at all. He's smart, I'm not saying he isn't, he gets good and even outstanding grades in various school subjects, and he fixes the vanishing cabinet he knows nothing about on his own. He is skilled and talented magically and he can figure out complex magic on his own, but when it comes to long-term planning or general cunning... yeah, I don't think that's part of Draco's arsenal.

He acts out on useful information on the first opportunity he has, with very little thought about timing or how to best use it and very little forethought in general. In 1st year he gets Harry and Co caught outside after curfew but doesn't think his plan through so he too, is caught out after curfew. And sure, he's 11, but 11-year-old Harry wouldn't have made that mistake, I think (neither would Ron or Hermione). In 3rd year, his plan against Buckbeak and Hagrid was laughable and only worked because Lucius could pull it off. I mean, Draco wasn't even doing a good job at faking an injury compared to Harry who could believably pretend to be the Bloody Baron to scare off Peeves at 11, not to mention lying reliably to McGonagall at 12. In GoF he makes these Potter stinks badges, which are magically impressive (considering they still work 3 years later) but are again, an example of Draco acting on something immediately because that's how he tends to operate. Like how he goes straight to Harry every time he finds something in the Daily Prophet to make fun of.

Even if we look at Draco's later plans, like in HBP, he was mostly trying to buy plans rather than think about how to solve his problem. Because Draco knows how to buy his way out of problems, not think his way out. And while all this does make for an interesting trait for him to have in his rule in the story and he has an invisible arc to break away from this thinking pattern and that does lead him to the vanishing cabinet eventually, it does make me like him less. I'm biased, I can't help it.

His ambition is another thing, I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't think Draco is particularly ambitious. Like, he wants to make his parents (especially Lucius) proud, he wants people to like him, and he wants to be popular, sure, but he doesn't have any long-term plans or specific goals in mind. He grew up already having everything, so he doesn't really have any ambitions bigger than that. I'm not saying there needs to be, Harry isn't particularly ambitious either, it's just interesting to me that our poster Slytherin in Harry's year isn't that much of a Slytherin at all.

As I mentioned earlier, Draco also seems to be averse to violence and doesn't have as much of a ruthless streak as his house is usually associated with. Draco, at the end of the day, seems to me like a very sheltered kid who idolized war when he heard about it in stories up until he had to actually take part in it. He is one of the softer characters in the books actually, in my opinion.

While I think he definitely values the traits of house Slytherin as he grew up learning to appreciate them, he doesn't actually possess them, at least, not in abundance. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but honestly, I think Draco is more of a Gryffindor than a Slytherin considering he is brave (in the last book especially. I want to note he isn't the same brave as Harry. Draco fears a lot more than Harry does, but when push comes to shove, he keeps going despite his fear. He's more similar to Neville in that regard), bold, and definitely has his personal code of honor and chivalry he acts according to, but I digress.

My personal issue with Draco is the main issue I have with Drarry as a ship, because, like, I can't be actively invested in a ship when I find one of the characters annoying. I have a similar stance on Romione as I have on Drarry. I like Romione well enough, I enjoy the fanart of them I see, but I wouldn't actively search for fics of them. Neither would I write fics where they are the main pairing. In Romione's case, I love Ron but find Hermione kinda annoying, I don't hate her, I don't even dislike her, I actually like her, but she annoys me. Draco is the same way, I like him, but he just gets on my nerves sometimes.

To summarise, I see the appeal of Drarry, and I can see how it could work on paper. I don't think Harry and Draco ever truly hated each other in the books, so, yeah, I think they could get together. They could definitely forgive each other everything, hell, the books practically outright say they forgive each other everything in canon. I think you can build a very compelling love story for them, it's just not a story I'm invested in reading/writing mostly because Draco isn't a character that I'm overly invested in.

[seriouslysam8]

I’ve noticed Hinny is becoming less popular, and Drarry and Harmione shippers are taking over. I think this is because Drarry and Harmione art/fics are everywhere…. even in hinny tags. There’s so many hinny artist that have switched to Drarry, I unfollowed at least 5 of them. It’s literally the worst ships ever for Harry. If we stuck to canon characteristics, Harry would probably beat Draco to death because of all the stupid shit that comes out of his mouth. With Hermione he would probably find a way to AK himself so she would just shut the fuck up and tell him how he should be living his life, then Sirius and James would kill him in the afterlife for even considering Hermione. Lily would just be sitting there like ‘I can’t believe these fuckers think Hermione is like me… Ew.’

Wait, really? Hinny people have switched to Drarry??? That’s a thing? Ew!

Makes me think I need to get fucking writing! How many one-shots of you think I could get done in a week if that’s all I focused on??

But I also think readers have to do their part. I’ve noticed Jegulus and Wolfstar and Dramione fandoms all have a high level of engagement. People are always reblogging and leaving reviews and engaging in art/stories. I noticed the Hinny fandom has less engagement it seems. I can see how people would leave this ship for another if there’s more engagement for a different ship.

A fandom only thrives and survives if there’s engagement. People will stop writing stories and making art if they think it’s not appreciated because what’s the point of putting in all that work into something for free if people aren’t even going to take the time to engage with it?

Just food for thought. I always harp on leaving reviews and engaging (not just kudos), because it does motivate authors/artists. So, readers/viewers have to do their part as well if they want more Hinny content and not have their fav Hinny creators leave.

[oh-my-bindery]

Drarry: I love that Harry the hero is down for murder. But Draco the guy who comes from a long line of a family of dark magic is the one that hates murder (it's literally canon Draco can not kill anyone for shit) and it gives me so many feels. It's partly because I love healer Draco. But also because Harry is reckless and does not have a lot of self preservation. His idea of justice is like you die by the sword.

Definitely! I draw all my conclusions from canon.

Buckle up bc I went on a rant here

The way Draco is written and what we are shown of his actions and character, we can clearly conclude at least few things:

- Draco is a person who fights with his words, that cut deeper than a knife. He knows what he is doing and wants it to hurt. I believe he does it to feel better about himself.

- Draco can’t kill. He literally can’t kill. Even his wand (that chose him) is one that has the most difficult time turining into Dark Arts. It reflects on his character. He is different from his family.

- Draco is a very sensitive boy as we are told by Moaning Myrtle in HBP. We also get to see him break down and for the first time show his real emotions which is a new thing from him. Harry has never seen him cry. Which leads me to ask, why? All 6 years and no one saw Draco cry before? No one saw him express deeper emotions that his usual proud and snarky / bully mask? It is definitely connected to his family, most likely Lucius, as Narcissa is the one who even though believes in blood purity shit, never takes a Dark Mark, never fights for Voldemort, her main concern is always Draco. She has so much love for him. It is probably why Draco even knows that he can allow himself to cry, even if it’s on his own.

- Moaning Myrtle also tells us that Draco is lonely.

- On Harry Potter wiki and Pottermore (I think) it says that Draco was never able to produce a Patronus spell as he didn’t have a strong enough of a happy memory - well that’s sad seeing as Harry was able to do it with how shit his life was.

Draco is supposed to seemingly be rich, get everything he wants, he has a family that is alive , Mother who loves him SO MUCH, father that would she if anything happened to him (well he failed to protect Draco from the worst and then did nothing after the fact, continued being awful but that’s another rant), Slytherins seem to like him, he has some friends although I’m not even sure he likes them or if they like him (from canon we know that by Deathly Hallows - Crabbe and Goyle hate him. Draco never really liked Blaise (or wasn’t fond of him. He tolerated Pansy and had some trust towards her.)

So even though Draco smilingly has all, he doesn’t have a strong enough of a happy memory.

- Draco is terrified of killing someone, so much so he stops eating, keeps to himself and stops being himself when tasked with killing Dumbledore.

When Harry sees Draco in his Voldy visions - Draco looks terrified and broken when asked to torture Rowle - the sight of how Draco is being pushed into doing those horrible things and how much he could be suffering- canonically makes Harry try to get rid of the visions because he doesn’t want to see Draco torture people or if he refuses/ can’t- see Draco being tortured or killed.

- Draco doesn’t care if he dies. Why? Who knows? But he literally lies to his whole family that are depending on him to identify Harry as Harry Potter at the manor and he just doesn’t. He knows what are the consequences of failing to capture Harry are (probably being killed by Voldemort, him and his family.) and Draco knows it is Harry. If he was cruel and and awful person he would say “yep, that’s Potter” but instead Harry notices that Draco looks just as terrified, hands shaky as Harry was. Draco literally would rather have Harry survive and himself die than other way around. It is SO CANON.

And Harry wise

- Harry is super hot-headed as we know.

I think looking at his reaction when Sirius was killed, he literally sprung from Remus’s arms, shooting, shooting curses after Bellateix. He crucioed her. No, thinking, he just does.

When people whom Harry loves / cares about are killed or harmed Harry has no thoughts just do. Give them hell. He will deal with consequences later - he is bad at the ‘dealing with the consequences bit though. He doesn’t want to be a killer, and hates himself for being capable of it.

When Snape kills Dumbledore, Harry is in SO MUCH RAGE. He goes after Snape and literally uses Sectumsempra on him, knowing what it would do- if not helped Snape literally would die lol.

But when it comes to Draco and Harry almost killing him, knowing about Dracos Dark Mark, him being suspicious all year, being horrible to him all other years - ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE.

He leaves Draco alone even after he find out Draco was going to kill Dumbledore.

In conclusion, Harry would 100% kill for Draco, no questioning it. He wouldn’t feel bad about the person being killed but about the fact that he is capable to killing.

[blitzerel]

Someone should make a hadestown drarry au fic

Hear me out, Harry as Eurydice, because like duh he dies canonically and Draco is so wrung with grief he has to get him

Obviously they would have to be established but i think it would fit them bc theyve always been obsessed with each other

Draco feeling like he failed harry in the end after everything he’s done

OH OH MAKE IT SO HARRY DOESNT COME BACK AFTER THE KILLING CURSE IN BOOK SEVEN AND THEN DRACO FINALLY SNAPS AND GOES BACK FOR HIM

HE MAKES A DEAL WITH DEATH(BECAUSE LITERALLY THE DEATHLY HALLOWS IS REAL) AND JUST UGH

[iamnmbr3]

drarry is hard to write because I don't want it to be too gushy but in canon Harry's just like hmm.... that student is a slytherin. You know who's also a slytherin? Malfoy.

My hair is messy? Interesting you bring that up. You know whose hair isn't messy? Malfoy.

You have asthma? That affects breathing, right? You know who also breathes? That's right, Mal

Most Well-Written Fics 2024

back at it again for the third year in a row!! personal favorites from this year across multiple fandoms!

no particular order, just based on the order of my bookmarks.

for reference i am sooo picky, i have read over 6000 fics according to ao3, and i've read 700 since the beginning of the year. i only have 53 bookmarks in total... but here are some bookmarked fics i read this year!!!

this year i got into some random shit, blah blah blah, honestly most of these are not faulkner levels of literature doing monuments for the english language but they were good and make me feel a sort of way, so, here you go

Harry Potter (Drarry)

This Year's Love by trishjames / drarry E, longfic. love it a lot. genuinely made me want to become an adult. they were meant to be cry emoji

Yes, But It'lll Cost You by mintaminta / drarry T, privated. this one had such a good vibe, reminds me of fun and school and calm darkness. very nice.

Bad Habits by No_One_Special_01289 / drarry E, lowkey porn, longfic. those last few chapters got me SO hard, they love each other omg cry emoji. poor harry. i think i skipped most of the smut when i read it but the plot was so good. literally star crossed lovers UGHHHHH LET THEM BE TOGETHER

Recursion by tessacrowley / drarry E, longfic. its written really well and it's witty, but i kind of think this author just self-inserts herself for draco in all her fics because... that boy was soo pathetic in canon. genius au basically. but i can forgive her bc the fics are good

House M.D. (Hilson)

yes Medical Malpractice Husbands whatever shut up i like the fics and they're probably in love so leave me BE. these fics are good.

Look, Don't Touch by ORiley42 / hilson E, voyeurism fic.... guys HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT OK that makes it sound SOOO bad but trust me i bookmarked this one because the author took such a horrible trope and made it genuinely not feel that creepy. like this fic is SO funny. it's really good. and the author is straight up just a good writer

the sea and the sky and you and i by thismagichour / hilson M, hanahaki angst. its really good because wilson just gives up and its soo heart wrenching bc he thinks house doesnt like him back and just wants to die. poor guy.

My Hero Academia (Dabihawks)

i have not given a Phuque about MHA for the past five years but i had this phase this year where i was briefly re-obsessed with dabihawks so here are some fics

planting trees (making shade) by nightquake / dabihawks T. basically hawks KHS for a good cause ..? really well written, has high tension and good allusions. loved this one. its the kind of fic u know is good by the summary

Hawks Lays an Egg by ButterflyApocalypse / dabihawks T. never in my entire Life 18 Years have i ever enjoyed mpreg except this fic, because he isnt even pregnant he just has this egg. it's such a good funny fic. i was asking myself why i had it bookmarked from like four years ago earlier this year so i reread it and i was like Yeah ok it deserves the bookmark. SOOO funny and ridiculous. crackiest fic.

MISC random fandoms (Battle Cats (????) and A Clockwork Orange)

nyankopalooza by Sanodigy / Battle Cats Game gen. No clue how i even found this. its so funny. ive never read a fic like this. its so funny. and weirdly well written, i like experimental / weirdly formatted fics. i used to play this game when i was a kid

Bitva Gruppa by VoidVesper / a clockwork orange X fight club, alex delarge X tyler durden E. its straight up a horrible plot, AKA CHILD GETS ASSAULTED. warning for underage and assault. it's not a morally good fic (clockwork orange is intentionally a morally wrong book). but holy shit the writing is great. like it reads like it's anthony burgess. just really good. probably one of the only fics here where i straight up bookmarked only because of the writing style

OK that wraps up this year's edition!! please give these fics a read, your life will be Fulfilled. byebyee

[lioniheart]

I've been on a Drarry kick lately so here are my favorite things the fandom has practically made canon with how often you can find it in fanfics:

—>Desi Harry

Literally the best thing to ever come out of HP fanfictions, like yesss give that boy some culture!!! And when the fic goes into detail abt him exploring his origins and getting closer to the Patil sisters? Delicious. I read one years ago where he wears traditional clothing to the Yule Ball and it will forever be canon in my mind.

—>Married Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini

Their entire dynamic is taken out of thin air and I love it. Cunty Pansy and Flirty Blaise are my children, actually.

—>Grant Chapman

Not that common in drarry fics, I know, but fuck if that isn't my favorite OC to ever exist.

—>Any type of World Building, wizards traditions, magical laws, etc

J.K. did such a poor job with it that it was one of the reasons why I never cared much for the series and started sicking out fanfiction before even finishing the 3rd book.

—>Sapphic Ginny Weasley

Especially if she ends up with Luna. As another lesbian redhead, this holds a special place in my heart ok?

—>Distant Cousins Draco Malfoy and Luna Lovegood

Admittedly not that common, but it just makes sense to me.

—>Draco Speaking French

I actually have no idea if this is fanon or canon, but I love it.

Drarry as enemies to lovers but who are only enemies out of fear and self preservation: an essay (also I completely disregard a lot of canon because I can so much that I’ve kind of forgotten what is and isn’t so if anything defies canon don’t hate me)

Draco is only mean to Harry to defend himself because his parents taught him to be scared of harry (he’s seen as a literal god, they are the god fearers (I have so much more on fate and their religions)); he has to be hiding something, he has to have a massive secret or power that protects him for him to defeat Voldemort (or at least temporarily). Harry would be given all of the credit to Voldemort’s demise even as a baby because 1) He’s protected by the prophecy 2) Lily wouldn’t be given the credit (at least by purebloods); she’s a mudblood and 3) He’s the only survivor of his parents, and they need a hero. As purebloods it’s entirely more plausible to them that Harry, son of James from pureblood lineage, would have that power. Harry would be fearful of Draco because he’s heard from other people around him about Draco’s family’s relationship with the Dark Lord and their beliefs and power within the magical community (assuming he gets this exposure from Mcgonagall or Hagrid), and Draco hasn’t done anything to prove that wrong with the way he’s treated him. Harry, also being very new to the wizarding world, had only ever had experiences with people trying to get photos with him or ask intrusive questions and just generally invasive behaviour, so was very standoffish towards wizards generally. Draco would try to be nice to Harry at the very beginning because he thought maybe he would be different to how his parents described him; he looked normal enough in person, but he’d only really ever been around his parents and hadn’t really ever been around other kids except for galas and things, so he didn’t know how to act.

Eventually they would realise they were only really mean to each other to protect themselves and realise they were both vulnerable and learnt to be safe with each other and then lived happily ever after (probably when one of them is attacked and really weak or something like Draco in the bathrooms)

My opinion about Harry Potter Ships (1/2)

Hinny (Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley): NO. Just NO. Please their romance was so forced and there was no chemistry between them in the movie (and I watched the movies before reading the books... so yeah, it affected my perception about them) 👎

Romione (Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger): In the books they were a better couple- but in the movie their development was almost null- so no thanks. 😬

Harmione (Harry Potter/Hermione Granger): "They're just friends". Still a better ship than Hinny/Romione tho. Their interactions were far more beautiful than any other ship involving Harry or Hermione. 🙌

Ronarry (Ron Weasley/Harry Potter): If I was Harry and I had to chose a Weasley to date with- I would choose Ron. Not saying anything else. 🧡🤎

Dron (Draco Malfoy/Ron Weasley): Enemies to lovers. Enemies to lovers. Enemies to- (Besides, their families don't like each other so they would be Romeo/Juliet coded) 💞

Drarry (Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter): I'm a fan of Slytherin/Gryffindor pairings, and a fan of rivals to lovers so- I LOVE DRARRY SO MUCH. 😍😍😍😍

Dramione (Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger): It's literally like a straight version of Drarry- SO I'M IN! 💖

Huna (Harry Potter/Luna Lovegood): I tell you, I ship them more than I ship Romione/Hinny. Although I have never read a fic of them, they had cute moments. ☺️

Linny (Ginny Weasley/Luna Lovegood): Luna is a Ravenclaw. Ginny is a Gryffindor. Ravenclaw is Blue. Gryffindor is Red. I LOVE RED-BLUE PAIRINGS. 💖💖

Pansmione (Pansy Parkinson/Hermione Granger) & Blaron (Blaise Zabini/Ron Weasley): Another Slytherin/Gryffindor pairing? And another enemies-to-lovers? And also lesbian/gay? Hell YES. 💞💞💞💞

Hedric (Cedric Diggory/Harry Potter): Their relationship in the fourth movie/book was cute and pure and I will never forgive them for killing Cedric. He was a good friend to Harry and he could have been more than that :(

Chedric (? (Cedric Diggory/Cho Chang): Yes. Just yes. I don't know why, but they are so cute for me. 🥺

Charry (Harry Potter/Cho Chang): This might be controvesial but I like them (definitely more than Hinny). They were kinda cute.

Dransy (Draco Malfoy/Pansy Parkinson): I don't know what to think about this. Part of me says "They're besties". The other part says "They look cute together". Let's say I'm more inclined to say YES. 😉

Lunsy (Pansy Parkinson/Luna Lovegood): It's a Slytherin/Ravenclaw pairing. That's all I need to know. Just yes. 💙💚💙💚💙💚

Hansy (Harry Potter/Pansy Parkinson): It's like Drarry but the love interest is a girl instead of a boy. So it's a yes for me.

Nuna (Neville Longbottom/Luna Lovegood): You know for one moment I thought they would be canon and I shipped them-

Deamus (Dean Thomas/Seamus Finnigan): They belong together. I don't accept objections. 😆😆

Flintwood (Marcus Flint/Oliver Wood): Two captains, one from Gryffindor and the other from Slytherin, in a relationship? Yes.

Blamione (Blaise Zabini/Hermione Granger) & Ronsy (Ron Wealey/Pansy Parkinson): They're like Pansmione and Blaron but with the love interest reversed so YES.

Ginmione (Ginny Weasley/Hermione Granger): Friends to lovers? Two Gryffindor? A sapphic ship? Perfect. ✨

Dinny (Dean Thomas/Ginny Weasley): They were canon but they're not my thing. I prefer Ginny with Hermione/Luna and Dean with Seamus.

Drastoria (Draco Malfoy/Astoria Greengrass): Not my thing neither but I guess they're good. 👌

Druna (Draco Malfoy/Luna Lovegood): I ship Draco with Harry/Ron/Hermione so it's a no for me. Besides I see them as besties. 😔

Chomione (Cho Chang/Hermione Granger): Never thought of it but it seems interesting. 👀

Fremione (Fred Weasley/Hermione Granger): It's not bad but If I were Hermione and I had to date a Weasley- I would choose Ginny. But they're not a bad ship ;)

Geormione (George Weasley/Hermione Granger): The same argument as the previous ship.

Lovander (Rolf Scamander/Luna Lovegood): They're okay but not my thing.

I'm gonna be honest guys, I was thinking about re-reading Harry Potter last night and went as far as to get halfway through the first chapter before I remembered that Drarry isn't actually endgame and there is barely even CRUMBS of the original marauders in the series that don't just cause me pain.

Like the only canon mention of Regulus I can currently think of is the most tragic piece of his lore that I actively avoid reading unless I wish for heartache.

Peter is already just a traitor rat and Sirius is just the crazy guy from azkaban and Remus is just a poor lonely werewolf man with no friends because everyone else is already DEAD.

You're gonna tell me that's IT?? THATS ALL I GET??

I literally CLING to the thought of Wolfstar but not only does it take AGES it's also barely even THERE.

Wym this isn't wolfstar-centric???

WYM DRARRY IS ONLY SUBTEXT???

This is literally the worst story ever, who would even write this??

I don't know if I even want to do this anymore😭
