why do people care so much about a stupid tag someone left on their post. or someone's completely harmless (100% original) art. like get a fuckin life loser. worry about real problems like healthcare and eating a balanced meal.

I think one of the main flaws in camp camp fanworks that focuses on Harrison is misunderstanding his situation with his parents

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but from what we see in Parents’ Day, Harrison’s behaviour indicates that before his brother disappeared, his parents were relatively normal. He approaches them without worry or hesitation and when they respond with fear, he says “Oh, still doing that, huh?” I think this is a clear sign that growing up, Harrison had a regular family dynamic. The disappearance of his brother was probably more recent than most people portray it to be if Harrison still isn’t used to the change of his parents’ relationship with him

Of course, his parents probably weren’t perfect. According to Harrison himself in Quest To Sleepy Peak Peak, his mother told him he’d grow into his looks, which would imply that Harrison has been insecure about his appearance and instead of reassuring him his mother said he’d ’grow into it’. Not exactly the best response to a child worrying about their looks. That’s not to mention his emotional problems such as his over-the-top reaction to his magic being questioned in Mind Freakers

But with all that, the fanworks I’ve seen, Harrison’s home life is often portrayed as awful for his entire life, or at least since he presented any magical abilities. Sometimes it’s even near neglectful or downright abusive. It’s a bit of a shame because I think there’s something more tragic and interesting about Harrison growing up in a regular family and, all of a sudden, the whole dynamic of the household gets irreversibly changed because of something he did

The original question on the Days Gone Reddit: What do you think Ellie would think of Deacon and the other way around? Would they get along or become friends even?

Me: Initiate analysis mode and add on to the answer of the question, while creating a whole alternate universe

Considering, in my mind, Joel is old enough to be Ellie/Deacon’s dad, Joel is confirmed to be 52 in part 1. (Especially if we plop Deacon smack dab right into the start of TLOU, no not the outbreak flashback, but the first mission or somewhere around that point where Joel meets Ellie. But if we want a seamless inclusion into TLOU; for Deacon to be in the late 20s to early 30s range like in Days Gone, Deacon would have to be a child during the outbreak, but he could have all his memories of the Mongrels MC, if they’re a faction like the Fireflies and he’d get his fear of water from somewhere else because the military is a no go here)

I think Deacon would get along best with TLOU 1 and early TLOU 2 Ellie. Don’t call me evil, but I honestly want Deacon (if he were to get stuck with Joel and Ellie) to subtly and slowly form an attachment to both. A sibling, older brother-younger sister, relationship with Ellie, it would come along slowly like with Lisa; Deacon slowly becoming protective of Ellie. Then a respected, mentor or brotherhood with Joel, seeing how the Cordyceps Virus lasted much longer (20+ years) than the Freaker virus (2+ years) in Days Gone, meaning Deacon would have to be either taught (If you some how have both viruses in one world) or re-taught, how to handle enemies (Deacon is actually enduring the TLOU plot not a crossover). Knowing Deacon’s personality it’ll be rough at first, but since Deacon’s not immune like Ellie; a few close calls “should”straighten him out. After all that is set and done, when TLOU 2 kicks in, the emotional impact of Joel’s death is stronger, basically a Sarah 2.0 for Deacon, except worse because he knows Joel is truly gone (only for the crossover). Strengthening the protectiveness Deacon has over Ellie, but their sibling like relationship may be put to the test, as Ellie spirals.

Extra:

I thought about including Boozer too, like same mechanics as Deacon, but his story would not necessarily change? I don’t like how his arm gets yoinked early in the game but it made sense to progress Deacon along with his path to becoming human again.

(even more camp camp season 5 teaser spoilers but this time is the last time probably, I'll just watch the whole thing and put my thoughts here)

-so cj is like some kind of dudebro influencer streamer type, I wasn't too far off. cj seems like the type of guy to carry a tiny microphone around a mall and interview people 😭 and I definitely get to have my little dynamic I predicted before because ross WOULD hate him for that

-on the topic of cj I don't know how I missed his mullet oopsies

-mahogany 😏

-i have a lot to say about this image actually. I screenshotted it so I could talk about how max is willingly hugging another person, I wanna say it's only the second time in the series he's done this? but then while looking at it I noticed neils earring?? he went to claires?? and he either only has one or gets them pierced at some point during the season

-also I just think it's funny that max is still freaked out by harrison like 2? 3? seasons after Mind Freakers. poor boy

-space kid??? hello???

-I see they finally got tired of animating prestons weird little shoulder things and did away with them entirely. im guessing the reason for his new outfit is that hes getting more into modern musicals and leaving behind the shakespearean stuff? I haven't seen newsies but it's very newsies to me. hey, this gives me an excuse to use the new ross design anyways I guess

-the long awaited sequel to the extremely detailed bread basket: extremely detailed popsicles

(come to think of it, here's neil without an earring again. maybe a one episode thing? also, idk why this screenshot is so dark)

final verdict: we are so back!!! I heavily enjoyed this promo and now I am so excited about this season. I wasn't sure I was gonna like this season, either due to it actually sucking or because the last time a new season of camp camp came out I was fourteen years old. but clearly I must like it if I just wrote a whole analysis of like every other scene in the teaser. really my only regret is that the season, or at least what's coming out at this time, is so short

[sp00kies]

Question If Camp Camp (Once the show gets picked up for season 5 again) hired you as a guest writer, and you got to write like a few episodes max, what would you write about?

CAMP CAMP ASK OMG??? EVERYONE SHUT UP

Anyways

If I were to write some episodes, these would be the ones!

- first and foremost, an episode that dives deeper into Max’s home life. The show itself and the wiki implies that his parents are negligent and that they didn’t really want him around, so maybe having an episode that explores more about it would be good!

For example, seeing as in the show he noticeably shrinks whenever someone raises their voice or a hand, maybe he does this again but this time, people notice and they try investigating.

Another episode I would write would be more jokey, but still

- One, an episode that brings back Neil’s and Harrison’s rivalry. Mind Freakers was so good in terms of exploring their characters and how they view things (magic and science), and it’s too good to leave behind!

The episode could have them seeing “abnormal” things and the rest of it could be them trying to explain why it’s science or magic.

- Two, an episode that explores more on Nerris’ identity. While it’s basically confirmed that she’s non-binary, an episode that has her really finding herself would be sweet and fun!

- And finally, Gwenvid episode. That’s it. That’s literally just the episode. With a side of Neil Squared or Nerrison.

Drifter

Deacon St. John x Reader

1.5k words

Warnings: Language

Special thanks to my dearest @vorsdany for proof-reading and editing 😌🫶🏼

please excuse my lack of talent :D but i hope you enjoy

It had been months since I’d given up counting the time that had passed since the infection began. It had been at least two years, maybe even closer to three, but there was no point in keeping track of time anymore. Without a schedule to keep, every day was the same: wake up and maintain the very basics of staying alive.

I’d managed to stay hidden in my family’s cabin in the woods all this time, eating fruit and vegetables grown in our garden (it truly was a miracle – how I’d managed to keep any of it alive), and the occasional small game I could catch without attracting freakers and swarmers. I’d lost all my family to the freakers; somehow, I’d stayed hidden and escaped.

Some days I wished I hadn’t.

I’d had little to no contact with the outside world since, only taking in the occasional civilian or refugee, usually on their way to a camp nearby. Every one of those on their way to 'sanctuary’ would encourage me to join them, insisting that there was safety in numbers and that being a part of a community would be so much better for me. With every such statement, I’d refused adamantly; I had it good here, and I wasn’t about to risk that by joining a bunch of strangers in a post-apocalyptic world. I got by, and that was enough for me.

That was, until an Anarchist army finally stumbled across my hideaway. They’d burned it down without hesitation, and I’d barely woken in time to the smell of smoke and the sound of triumphant shouts. Sprinting away from their molotovs and sniper rifles, I’d escaped with nothing to call my own. I was alone, with no way to defend myself, and nowhere to call home.

So here I was, losing track of the days since the attack – who knew if it had been days, weeks, or more – and sleeping in bushes when I could. I was starving, scavenging berries and mushrooms that I knew to be harmless, drinking from reservoirs and praying that dysentery wouldn’t come to plague me along with the rest of the world. I knew there was a good chance I was losing my mind, but I struggled on, as if I had a fighting chance.

That was, until the day I met the Drifter.

I was searching an abandoned car, as I often did, hoping for medical supplies or something that could sustain me in any way. Clambering into the front passenger seat, I shut the door behind me, like a fool, as if it would protect me. Opening and shutting the glove box and center console, I heard the throaty screeches of freakers in the distance, but disregarded them without even glancing up, presuming that they were far off by the volume.

The sharp screech of claws on metal sounded above me, snatching my attention with a jolt. My gaze shot upwards as my heart raced in my chest, and the sight around me drew a choking sob from my throat. About a dozen freakers surrounded the vehicle, clambering to get inside to me, their grotesque bodies writhing in delight at the sight of fresh meat. Judging from the screams I’d heard earlier, there were most likely more coming, and there was no way I could hold off a horde from getting in. I’d been an idiot to think I could make it on my own, and now I was going to pay the price in the most terrifying way.

Over the howling of the freakers, I barely heard the roaring engine of a motorcycle approaching, drawing the gaze of about half of the swarm. I stole a glance over my shoulder and caught sight of a lone figure approaching on his battered vehicle, a pistol in one hand, which he was lining up to the closest creature. I winced as he fired, and didn’t quite catch his wisecrack as he slid off the bike and ran into the midst of the throng. He grabbed a baseball bat covered in nails from a collection of weapons strapped to his back, and swung it in all directions, giving a war cry with each kill.

One particularly burly freaker grabbed him from behind, stopping him in his warpath. His shouts of pain awoke me from my reverie, and I scrambled around in search of some kind of weapon. Scouring each compartment, I found an old flashlight in the driver’s side door, and turned back to my door, ready to assist.

Another freaker stood at my window staring me down, its blood-red eyes gazing down at me hungrily. It shrieked, temporarily deafening me, but before I could freeze up in panic, I grabbed the door handle. As I yanked it, I booted the door open with all my might, throwing the freaker back with a yelp. I clambered out of the car, gripping the flashlight tightly and heading for the Drifter and his attacker. Standing up to my full height, I swung the makeshift weapon at the freaker’s head, momentarily dazing him long enough for the drifter to get free and swing his bat round, carefully avoiding me. Clocking the hefty monster, he breathed a sigh of relief as it fell to the ground with a loud thump.

“Good riddance, motherfuckers,” he murmured to himself, before turning his attention to me. His voice was deep, somewhat husky, and now that I could fully take in his features, I was somewhat taken aback. He was roguishly handsome, a half-unkempt beard lining his round jawline. His hazel eyes were softer now that he wasn’t on guard, and his dark hair was covered by a backwards cap. He looked down at me, checking me for injury; a rather awkward task given his height. “Are you alright?” he asked gruffly. “You shouldn’t be alone out here in the shit.”

I blinked at this, the memories of the last few days hitting me like a brick wall. The anxiety I’d felt at being alone and unprotected slowly dissipated; this Drifter felt safe, trustworthy. I wondered if he’d let me stay with him.

“Um...” He stepped awkwardly from one foot to another, and I realized I’d been gazing at him in awe and avoiding the question.

“Oh, yeah, I’m fine,” I stammered. “Just a little shaken. I know I shouldn’t be, but...” I hung a hand from my neck shyly. “I kinda have nowhere else to go.”

“Listen, there are plenty of camps nearby that’ll take you in,” he explained, and I bit my lip at the familiar spiel. Given my circumstances, however, it was suddenly sounding a lot more appealing. “I can give you directions to any of them, but, you’d have to promise me you’ll go.”

I raised an eyebrow at this, squinting up at him. “Why so serious?”

It was his turn to raise an eyebrow. “I’m sorry, do you not remember what happened just five minutes ago, when I came across you, helpless and alone and about to become freaker feed?”

I allowed myself a chuckle at this, and while he didn’t laugh, his eyes softened even more and the corners of his lips turned upwards in a cocky half-smile.

“Alright, alright, I promise,” I assured him, nodding in resignation. “Where’s the nearest one?”

“That’d be Lost Lake, about half a mile south of here,” he replied, gesturing vaguely in the direction. He hesitated before shuffling again on his feet. “I was actually on my way there myself, if you’d want a ride. Unless,” he waved his hands around dramatically, “you’re afraid of stranger danger and all that.”

“I wouldn’t say we’re strangers when you just saved my life,” I pointed out. “Besides, I’ve been walking non-stop for the last little while. My legs could use a break.”

I couldn’t believe those words had just come out of my mouth with such confidence. It was true, the Drifter seemed to pose the very opposite of a threat, but getting on a bike with a man I’d just met, and who I felt increasingly drawn to, did seem-

“Alright then, let’s get on the road,” he replied without hesitation, strolling back over to his bike and waving me over. I followed tentatively, glancing his bike over as if I knew anything about motor vehicle safety. It looked fairly sturdy. To my very limited knowledge.

He straddled the bike, settling down in the seat and raising his eyebrows as he looked up at me, waiting. His biceps flexed slightly as he gripped the handlebars, and I jerked my gaze away, a little too obvious, I assumed from his resultant small smirk. I climbed on behind him, and after he glanced back at me, wrapped my arms around his waist, my forearms pressed against his toned torso. I gulped back any possible accidental comments or vocal reactions and did my best to relax as he started up the engine.

“I never even asked,” he yelled as he kicked into gear and accelerated, “what’s your name?”

The wind began whipping my hair in my face as we sped up, and I introduced myself in as loud a voice as I could muster. “What about you?”

“Deacon St. John,” he replied, skidding around a corner and leading me to hold on to him tighter. “You can call me Deacon.”

I smiled. Deacon. It was a good name. And with that, I fully relaxed into him as he drove me away to safety.

🍬🫐🧊 for anyone you want to talk about!

yayyy ty!! gonna do mello simon and lestat (all of whom i don't think ive ever answered asks about omg new stuff new stuff)

🍬 - do they like sweets? whats their favorite kind of candy?

mello obviously likes sweets my little chocolate obsessed freak <3 i think he'd be a big fan of dark chocolate specifically though and also really enjoys like chocolate covered fruits (blueberries specifically) and pretzels

i think simon would be very hit or miss with sweets and candy like he'd devour a bowl of chocolate cereal but you couldn't pay him to eat a twix. he'd fuck up a bag of vanilla wafers but don't even show him a snickerdoodle cookie. he has strong feelings about his snacks what can i say 🤷‍♀️

lestat...the freaker.......not a big fan of sweets, is a fan of sour candies and gum. he would be the type of bitch to chew classic bubble gum loud asf and pop it right next to your ear.

🫐 - do they have a favorite fruit? what is it? why is it their favorite?

i don't think mello would be a big fan of plain fruit, but could def be into like strawberries, raspberries, etc. if they're covered in syrup, sugar or (obvs) chocolate. he doesn't like the inconsistencies in taste and none of it feels sweet enough to him. cotton candy grapes might work for him tho.

green apple and green grape fan simon i can see it so perfectly. slightly sweet, but mostly tart. easy snacking food. could be partial to golden delicious as well, way sweeter but still like not overwhelmingly so.

lestat would rawdog lemons. just fully peel off the rind and eat the whole thing.

🧊 - how do they feel about winter time? do they like it? what do they wear to stay warm?

mello is like those posts about russian girls not feeling cold. like he'll wear a jacket but it's based on fashion, not warmth quality. i mean we literally see his coat in the series and it does not look thick, just has a fur lined hood. he'd go out in a fishnet top mid december if he felt the urge. being smart does not mean he feels rational fear for frostbite.

i also think lestat wouldnt mind the cold much either, he might complain but ultimately it's so whatever to him. he will use it as an excuse to lay in front of the fire place and listen to records while yapping. maybe bring out hot spiced cider if he's feeling fancy.

i think simon runs hot so he'd probably not feel cold as soon as i do (like i get cold at 65, he's probably good with a sweater til below 40s) but once it gets real cold you cannot get him to shut up about how cold it is. "is the heat even fuckn on?" "where's my sweater? did you take my sweater?" "jesus fucking christ im freezing my tits off" just on and on and onnnn

[meh-kris]

Nurf x Preston- -15/10 this ship is toxic af actually all nurf ships are tbh so no.

Nerred? (Nerris and Ered)- 5/10 personally not a big fan of this ship but it could be a really good ship since they hung out in the show so it has some potential for me but not hitting the spot

Ered x Dolph- 0/10 fuck no Dolph is like what 8 yrs old and ered is (my hc) 14 ffs THATS SUCH A BIG AGE DIFF

Ered x Nikki- 2/10 Nikki probably has a crush on ered but those like childhood ones besides Nikki is like 10 yrs old ered is probably a teen so it doesn't work for me

Dolph x Space Kid- 7.2/10(yes that exact number) if they interacted a bit more maybe then I would ship them like it would be cute but platonically works too tbh

Space Kid x Max- 2.5/10 a bit toxic tbh :/ but like ig it's not bad also I wouldn't give this much if it wasn't wasn't the fact their VAs are married so yea

Space Kid x Neil- never knew this existed??? Not the ship for me sorry 1/10

3, 4, 6, 8 for reigen :3

oh heavens the freaker ... the jerkr

3. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know?

i rememebr i wrote this down somewhere but 2 me he realized he was queer of some sort when he went to one of his sisters friends quinceanera and made out w the birthday girls older cousin behind the venue ... this was when he was like , a highschooler in arizona still . after this he was liek Hmm i think somethings up . he didnt act on these feelings until he was hitchhiking to jess' apartment like years later tho ..... not much else 2 think abt besides how you might be gay for your friendon the open road and such .

with his gender i think he always kindve knew , early on his dad kindve picked up on it and went "heyy y. i dont mind if you ... experiment . with your gender . yoru still my kid all the same 😁" to rei who, at the time, went "? Ok (doesnt think about this encounter until years later)". its also a main reason (2 me ) as to why connor bullied him a bit - in my brain milwaukee is a pretty ... closed minded town , so its only natural people would spread their bigotry onto their children < which is why when connor saw how rei was like "im a MAN" but (in connors mind) didnt make any "real" effort into presenting masc , he 1 thought rei was just doing it for attention and 2 sought out to "fix" him ....... < cornering him and cutting his hair along w just. General torment

4. Is your oc's environment supportive about their identity? How does this impact them?

until he was around middleschool he only really had the support of his dad < his mother being a devout catholic whereas his dad was laid back and also queer himself . after he died and they moved back to arizona rei just kindve caved in on himself and gave up on any presentation gender or sexuality wise ... until one day he felt too suffocated by it all nd went back to the one place he ever really Did feel accepted < milwaukeeeeee 😁and by extension jess nd ashe . the latter i dont know if they met later but i think their presence helps rei greatly ... nervous cheetah and emotional support dog type thang . when hes back w the gang he feels pretty comfortable w them and while he still has his moments of doubt from time to time he still feels confident that theyll never judge him (which they wouldnt thankfully). ave maria

6. How does your oc feel about labels? Theirs, or in general?

he would rather be gutted like a fish than talk about labels ... i dont think he feels all that comfortable w himself to say hes for sure gay ... and as for being trans , he keeps that shit LOCKED UP !!! very stealth with it ... even if being called a woman bothers him hed rather just take it and smile than out himself and risk being harassed . as he gets older he just stops gaf. i think hed just call ashe up randomly one day nd go "Hey .im gay." and then just hang up . theyd understand

8. Have they had struggles with their identity, be it due to internal or external reasons?

hes the prime struggler and transgender allegory ... if hes not actively repressing his feelings for guys then hes trying as hard as he can to come off as a cis guy . i think it stems from the hostile environment milwaukee generally is as well as internal stuff < after his dads passing his mom blamed his homosexuality for it and deemed him a sinner ... her side of the family also just talked shit abt him a lot 😭this diswayed rei Greatly from ever being open . even in his 20s i think despite him being more cool w being gay nd stuff hed still be a little nervous ... i dont think his anxiousness abt it would ever go away for realsies , but with time he wouldnt think abt it too much 👍

AVE MARIA can youtell i want him dead

[dizzzyondreams]

neil has lost the idgaf battle everyday of his life but he was in the TRENCHESSS during mind freakers

[firebuug]

the freaky freaker seems to freak his mind at night

[plotandburn]

Harry gets adopted by

Now before we start i would like to adress some things:

the following parents won't be included in this plot bunny farm:

A. Mrs. Nurfington: there's no mention of Nurf's dad so he either dosen't know Nurf exists, compleatly abandoned Nurf or died and,since Nurf dosen't appear to have any relatives other than his mom who is in jail there would be no one left to raise Harry even if she did adopt him.

B. Gram Gram : ok based on the fact that Preston's parents are never mentioned they either died or Preston was an accidental & unwanted pregnancy. Preston, like Nurf, dosen't seem to have any other relatives aside from her and i'd imagine raising one kid is already hard enough for her as it is, she wouldn't be able to raise two.

C.Jermy's parents : ok, they would probably be able to raise him but....Holly shit! they low key look even more inbread than any purebloods in the Hp saga plus Jeremy is weird and gross and i'm pretty sure most of the fandom is not a fan of him so...no thanks.

D. Max's parents: they seem to be at best emotionally neglectfull and at worst abusive and since i don't have a clear reading on them, i decided to leave them out of this.

E. Cameron Campbell : who is not fit to raise anyone and wasn't even on the list. (that was only the best image i could find)

2. regardless on the idea chosen they must feature the following:

A. Harisson is a Squibborn (or in J*ke rowlling's words: Muggleborn): in "Mind Freakers" he casts a spell that causes Max to vomit a chain of tied up scarves & other magical items and in "Parents Day" his parents mention that "he made his brother dissapear" so claming that this nigga would be a muggle should he live in the Hp universe is....laughable at best. The others? Sure, they can be as muggleish as the person who writes the stories wants them to be but there's no freaking way that Harisson wouldn't be classed as a wizard.

B. Nikki has werewolf genes or the genes of some type of magical creature:

Nikki seems to have a unique bond with wild animals, even managing to tame an eagle named Timothy in "Scout's Dishonor." She also makes mention of her plan to possibly become the alpha of a wolf pack upon escaping the camp.

Nikki can speak a bit of squirrel, as shown in the episode "Squirrel Camp", but she is rusty and doesn't fully understand what is being squeaked.

In "Camporee" it is revealed that she is even capable of cross-species communication, by barking at a wolf to subdue it, then unleashing it on the Wood Scouts and Flower Scouts.

She has also been shown to exhibit dog/wolf-like traits, such as biting David's hand in "Escape from Camp Campbell", and barking & growling at Max when confronting him in "Camp Cool Kidz". In the hunt for Neil in "Reigny Day" she also declared she'd act like a bloodhound to search, getting down on all fours and sniffing the ground.

In "Reigny Day" Nikki is seen somehow telepathically communicating with David as he laments losing his award to Dolph. Specifically, she notes that "he really looks like Hitler." (Camp camp wiki)

She also seems to have a weird ass conection with nature, what with her needing a bag of dirt when she is forced to be away from it for long periods of time so, while she dosen't necessarily have to be a witch herself, there's no denying that she is defintly not 100% human either.

3.No reader-inserts, self-inserts or unhappy endings are allowed.

4.spanking, watersports, extremely underage ships or parent/child incest are only allowed if portrayed on a negative light.

5.Peter Petigrew and Dolores Umbridge must be bashed

6.Dumbledore must be gay and atracted to Grindewalt and Grindewalt alone.

7.poor grammar is not allowed (you don't need a beta but at least use grammarly some form of grammar corrector)

8. You are not allowed to bash Severus Snape, Sirius Black,Draco Malfoy or Remus Lupin

9.Hagrid can only be paired with Madame Maxine and no one else

10. Mad Eye Moody and Amelia Bones can't be paired with anyone

11. Minerva Mcgonagal can only be paired with Poppy Pomfrey or anyone on the staff that she never taugh herself.

12. Crabbe and Goyle can only be paired with Daphne Greengrass, Astoria Greengrass, Milicent Bulstrode, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbot, each other or an Oc.

Now with that said let's kick this off from worst to best:

Harisson's parents

Ok so i have seen a headcanon that the only reason why Harisson has his magician outfit is because his family is Amish, wich considering their reaction to his magic is very likely as i doubt they would ever consider buying the outfit for him so this would be the only way he would have acess to it.

Thus, whoever choses to write this fict will have to either been raised in an amish comunity or be extremely familiar with it for the fict to be accurate.

Now, i'd imagine that, prior to both Harisson and Harry having bounds of accidental magic they would be very good parents: kind,nurturing and all that jazz but once the acidental magic happens they would treat Harry just like they treat Harisson.

Meaning that, while Harry wouldn't be phisically abused or treated like a slave, he would be severely emotionally neglected and,most likely become extremely dependent on Harisson as he would be the only person in his family to show him even an ounce of affection.

Thus, this fict would most likely call for a softharry as i'd imagine this type of enviorement would make him latch out into anyone that gives him even an ounce of attention. This Harry would most likely be a Hufflepuff as being ignored would make him value kindness above anything else. Recomended ships would be : Cedric,Luna,Cho,either of the Weasley twins or Percy...or...pretty much any character you can think of that would be able to dott on him.

2.Stuart Houston:

Ok so...there's no confirmation that either Adolf or his dad are actually nazis despite Adolf himself being inspired by Hitler so it's up to the writer to make them nazis or not.

Regardless, I'd imagine that, if Harry were to be raised by him, he would, in his desperate need of parental aproval, grow up to be a text book definition of toxic masculinity, abhorring anything that could be considered unmainly so the whole fict would be about him learning to be more chill, wich would be very interesting,not gonna lie. This Harry would stick to his canon house as he would most likely value bravery above anything else. Recomended ships: Hermione, Luna, Ginny, Cho, Fleur, Charlie, Ron and Draco.

3.Candy:

Ok so unlike the two previous candidates, the problem with her wouldn't be anything she says but mainly...what she does. You see,anyone who watched the parents day episode would definetly see that she has a penchant of not keeping tabs on Nikki and the fact that she was not at all bothered by a shit ton of people seeing her having sex with Carl tells me that Nikki definetly saw her having sex on more than one time,plus her on/off relationship with her husband is not healthy for any child.

The writer would have to be familiar with how early exposure to sexually explicit content and parental fighting can affect a kid as Harry would grow up with alll the problems that early exposure to both may cause so...nedless to say, he would be a very problematic kid.

I'd imagine that he would end up sticking with his canon house and as for ships...well....i'd imagine he would date a shit ton of people so the sky is the limit.

4.Carl:

Ok so, now we are reaching the best parent candidates. So if Harry were raised by Carl we could get one of two outcomes,but regardless of wich is chosen, i have no doubt that Harry would grow up to be a ravenclaw:

A. Harry gets super into philosophy and bonds with Carl: so ...fuck this would be so boring! (heavily philosophical ficts are boring,at least to me). regardless, I'd imagine Harry would end up interested in magical philosophy and probably theorize that Voldy likeHitler, lives by a distorted version of Trotskyism and as for ships....uh...idk Luna???

B. Harry gets super into science and bonds with Neil and his mom: Now this would be interesting! I'd imagine that Harry would read upon a shit ton of magical theory and probably question a lot of the problematic views of the wizarding world and probably come across my conclusion that muggleborns=squiborns as well as inventing a shit ton of stuff to help make the lifes of wizards more easy as i'd imagine he would help Neil on more than one ocasion and eventually become an inventor himself. Recomended ships: Hermine or Percy Weasley.

5. Space kids parents : another ravenclaw Harry. I'd imagine Astronomy would become one of his best subjects and he would eventually grow up to teach the subject himself. Recomended ships: Luna,Draco,Hermione,Percy or Astoria.

6. Neris' Parents:

Ok so, however writes this one would have to be super into larping and RPG as i imagine that, if Harry were to be raised alongside Neriss he would play RPG and larp...like.....a lot! i'd imagine his entry into the wizarding world would be a lot like when Nico Di Angelo found out he was a demigod in the Percy Jackson series (only without the early loss of a loved one). This Harry would probably also stick with Gryffindor and the recomended ships would be: Ron, either of the Weasley twins, Luna, Ginny, Cho or anyone you can think of that would take to RPG and larping as much as Nerris does.

6.Agents Miller:

Ok so another Gryffindor Harry. This Harry would grow up to be into punk,skating and spying wich would make for a hella interesting story! i'd imagine he would have his hair dyed like Ered and be away less impulsive than he is canonically as i'd imagine his dad's would instill in him, the habit of think things trough as you can be a sucessfull agent if you are too impulsive so Sirius more likely wouldn't die!!!....or at least,not in the way he does on canon. Recomended ships: one of the Weasley twins, Ginny, Fleur or Charlie Weasley.

and....that's it but before i conclude i would like to make one less coment:

regardless of the parents chosen, Harry would, obviously spend his summers at...

[embodies]

THE DRAGON'S HOARDE. ACCEPTING. " i don't think i'll ever get used to having blood on my hands. "

@ategods. deacon st. john & sarah whitaker.

❛ they're lookin' pretty clean to me. ❜ the joke lightens the air just a touch, barely the uplift of a smile tinging his features as he closes the gap, takes said hands carefully into his own in a meeting of minds. it wouldn't work as a response, not from anyone else. because perhaps he's the only one with as much blood staining his own ( first afghanistan, now in the shit collecting freaker ears like trophies, getting low with the rippers, hell, even humans if they get in his way ) and his heart aches knowing the solemn solitude she feels she must lather herself with as punishment and penance. at least he can kid himself. deigns to claim his nomadship as if it were a title, a badge, easily identified with. she has always been a people person, the fingers he now gently clasps made for tending and nurturing, not bloodshed nor war. maybe they are living proof that opposites attract, for he doesn't know a purpose other than soldiering on against all odds.

deacon puts her hands together like a prayer, warms them between his own and stoops to meet her eye. scratch that, he does know another purpose after all. deacon st. john was destined to meet her, love her, do everything in his power to make her happy. he knows no greater medal of honor than that.

❛ you're gonna save . . . so many lives, you know that ? you're gonna beat the shit out of this thing. that has to count for something, huh ? ❜ she's the only one who can.

okay reblogging again bcuz i had to quickly reblog it while my tumblr was glitching and i didnt want to lose it-

this is exactly how i feel. like i get why ppl like dolph if approaching the from a watsonian view (using in universe explainations and reasoning for what the writers do). however i dont think there's ever a reason to do that. doylist perspective makes thw most sense when talking about criticism, the writers are the ones in charge and they make the descions and they have real life reasons for making those decisions.

it doesnt matter that outside of the nazi joke hes kind and innocent, hes a walking nazi joke thats what the writers wanted him to be and thats what he is.

everytime theres a serious moment, im taken out by the fact hes a tiny hitler. i mean you cant play a character serious when your whole joke started and ended with their appearance. when hes lecturing max near the end of candy kingpin? wow neat moment (actually no i have problems with how max is treated) but the person whos lecturing this brown boy is designed to look like hitler. thats not. thats not cool. it completely takes away from this scene.

and with how the writers have treated max (constantly lecturing him and moments like mind freakers where they just torture him for a whole episode & thats the joke apparently) and the fact jermy is a walking ableist joke and pikeman being a white incel constantly making gwen, a black woman, uncomfortable.

ntm how we know rooster teeth treats minorities in real life.

its all just connected. its all connected its all part of the same problem, rooster teeth just doesnt like minorities.

and when i connected all of that i hated dolph even more. if they want to use him seriously they need to redesign him. doesnt matter what fandom thinks they just need to redesign him or sideline him.

the joke isnt funny. it wasnt funny at the beginning, it wasnt funny when they made a whole episode around it, it wasnt funny when he said "in the attic with the juice", it wasnt funny when they made everyone act nervous during culture day, it wasnt funny when they said its cuz he was raised on a german army base when you will be hard pressed to find a more antifascist country, it wasnt funny any other time, its just not funny.

how you can disconnect all of that from the character when that is his base design i have no clue. they had one idea from inception and decided to go with it and tried to backpeddle when theres only one thing you can do with a character who is designed to be a hitler joke.

and like. i fucking love this show, its made me cry, but i cannot like this show and not be aware of all of this. i cant not look at this show as critically as possible especially with rooster teeths history. if you can im not gunna say good for you, but i mean yeah ignorance is bliss i definitely laughed more my first time watching it in middle school than when i watch it now after graduating high school.

time for a real unpopular opinion actually. How do you people like dolph like genuinely i want to know how you guys like essentially a character which is just a. nazi. like theres no redeeming qualities. youre not special for liking the “unpopular character” somehow unlike how you may delude yourself. “hes kind!” yeah uh that kindness kind of goes outside the window when his entire thing is he is a nazi who has had terms which are linked to nazism , him being autistic was literally confirmed thru a term which was coined by a nazi in the MOST RECENT SEASON OF CAMP CAMP, and i dont wanna hear anything abt “it was a different time!” because if i could understand nazism is bad then so could rooster teeth. yeah thats abt it im just kind of mad abt this lol
