happy halloween!!!

Please stop publicly hating on fanfics. PLEASE!! Especially in a comment section of a video that’s about the fic or the fandom, because whether you’re aware of it or not, the author could have a social media account on that platform and see the hate. The hate on something they did for fun, for free. If you want more content then you have to stop hating. these authors aren’t celebrities they don’t have pr teams or people dealing with hate for them, they’re participants in fandom, and they’re real people.

Fanfics are not books, yes some are amazing enough to be, but you do not buy them, they’re provided to you for free. A fanfiction being popular is not like a book you bought sitting on your shelf, you should not feel obligated to read it because you spent money on it. Because you didn’t. it’s free. Fanfics no matter how popular should not be treated and reviewed like books, you do not get to publicly criticise or say “how are people buying this?!” Because they’re not. It’s free. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s overrated, it’s something someone did for fun, and you don’t get to criticise that, especially because it’s public for you to read!! Don’t be mad that something’s overrated, be glad that it was even up in the first place, someone could have easily just left it as a draft and never posted it, but they did. They decided to share this piece of themselves, to the fandom for anyone to read and that is a gift.

Ao3 is an uncensored website for fanfics, you can write about literally anything. And yet I see “no don’t read that fic it’s problematic!!” In a comment section. Fanfiction is not censored, if you want morals and every character being perfect and making the ‘right’ choices, then get off ao3. Also reminder that an author can write characters making decisions that they don’t agree with, for depth of the story. Just because your favourite character, that you see as the pinnacle of righteousness, makes a bad decision or says something mean does not make the story bad or problematic. It also doesn’t make the author agree with that decision. All the time authors of published books write about morally grey characters or villains. But when an ao3 author does it all of a sudden they must have committed the war crimes that they wrote their villain to commit. Do you realise how stupid that sounds?? 😭

Also don’t post vague negative videos about something/someone even if you don’t say who or what it’s about, it leads the comment section to gossip about who they hate and that’s just not cool. And tagging the fandom that they’re in??? 90% of the time they’re going to see that.

Public hate is not cool, if you don’t like someone, talk to you friends about it if you’re craving other peoples validation so badly. You don’t need to post something publicly. And I know hate gets more popular then love in fandom, no matter if it’s headcanons or fics or creators, but that doesn’t make it good. I don’t know why people are so negative all the time, like I don’t care what headcanons you hate, why do you even spend that much time thinking about something you hate?? I want to hear what headcanons you like, I want to know you fav characters, your kins, literally anything.

Sorry this is so long, it just pisses me off to see a fun video about fandom and then I open the comments and it’s filled with hate. This is a fandom, have fun with it!!! Please. 😭

The Fairytale of Severus Snape

I made a video based on the song: “Fairytale„ by Alexander Rybak on The Sims 4 featuring the life of Severus Snape, mainly his tumultuous relationship with Lily Evans Potter and how his relationship with mr. Harry Potter is a continuation of that turmoil.

This explores from their childhood friendship, passing through the rough adolescence and bullying, her death, his hard years as the Potions Master in Hogwarts and, finally, his death.

I do believe that his song was perfect for him, only surpassed by “Always„ by Bon Jovi, perhaps.

This video means a lot to me, as it took me about an entire month to finish it. Besides, when I took the decision of making this video I only had I rough idea of what was the Harry Potter saga, so I decided to actually check the source material for a better understanding of what I was doing. During the month I spent doing this project, I watched eight (8) films and read two (2) books. I'm currently reading Prisoner of Azkaban.

I must thank this video for bringing me, definitively, to the Harry Potter fandom.

With all my love and dedication, Rose.

P.S.: Here's all the Custom Content I used in this video with links.

I hate hate hate those marauders fans who make you feel bad about liking a certain character/ship just bc they don't like them.

Like just bc you don't like jily or jegulus or Barty/Evan/Snape doesn't mean you have to make people feel bad. Some fans attack creators in their comments (on TikTok) over these opinions and it's so annoying like please stop.

The Queer Utopia of the Marauders Fandom | Video Essay

Hello, so I wanted to come on and say that if anyone is new to the marauders fandom and is feeling extremely overwhelmed by all the details, relationships, character arcs, fancasts, etc and it’s just all over the place really...but most of all I’ve had people come to me asking how this specific era has such a huge community behind it, is so popular to the point that people claim to love of harry potter’s dad and his gay friends more than the chosen one himself (the one who got like 8 blockbuster films and 7 books? yeah that one). I think this video is a great place to start.

All creds to jubil3e on Youtube who posted this simple, easy to follow video essay explaining the whole upcoming of the marauders era, and the process in which fans started to fill in the gaps to characters who were only mentioned in 1 sentence or less...it’s truly incredible and the gift that keeps on giving. 

I intend on giving as many resources as possible to new fans or to any marauders fans that might be feeling like the fandom is way ahead of them (don’t worry, I totally get you and we’ve all been there before). 

So the best place for resources would be tiktok honestly, the platform that started it all (alone with ao3 and tumblr). People have made slideshows and powerpoint presentations you can download, lots of shorter explanation videos that are talking about more specific areas (unlike the video above which is more like the general picture) I’ll link some very helpful sites in my next blog with credits to all the incredible creators of course.

For now, I’m signing off the internet :)

When I open the comment section on a jily post and all of it is hating on jegulus 😞

They’re the ones that complain about jegulus taking over and there not being enough jily content, but when there is all they comment is “finally not jegulus” “keep up the jegulus hate” like maybe you should sit down and think about the fact that, everyone commenting hate about jegulus on a post about jily, is one of the reasons there’s not that much content about them anymore.

Like why are you thinking about jegulus more then actual jegulus stans??? I like both and I was like awww cute jily!! because I don’t spend enough time thinking about what i don’t like to hate it.

So yk maybe you’re the problem
