Muggle college AU where Harry sneaks into tom’s dorm room (after making sure to drug tom’s water earlier ofc) and takes pictures of him while he sleeps and posts them online. because god fucking dammit, Tom riddle is the most annoying RA that could possibly exist, and he wants a little bit of light revenge.

Harry realizes that “light revenge” may have gotten out of hand around the same time he started stripping Tom, and suddenly he was balls deep in both Tom riddle and a felony. The gravity of the situation did nothing to prevent Harry from taking a video, even though it was just more evidence that could be used against Harry.

I think it's reached the status of pet peeve for me at this point, how common it is in the fandom for people to assume that adoption into the Jiang family was a unilateral good, that Wei Wuxian definitely wanted and which was withheld from him, thereby proving he was not valued enough by his sect and teacher.

Partly just because that's boring, and leads to boring interpretations of the characters, personal opinion.

Partly because it often tends to reflect an uncritical absorption of the in-universe classist belief that being the son of Wei Changze was inherently valueless, and not worth keeping for its own sake.

And maybe especially because I'm starting to feel like it arises from an overall really flat perception of adoption as an institution, that American fans of a Chinese piece of fiction should maybe subject to more scrutiny.

my fave part about the last ask is they said BOTH were given to Lyanna by the author which implies that they are saying she has explicit and solitary ownership of both the crown (she does, but sort of irrelevant as Rhaegar is holding the crown, not giving it to Elia) AND Rhaegar. Which. Drawing Elia with Rhaegar is not offensive because she is literally his wife and was canonically at the same place as him relatively frequently. As given by the author… not really a fan theory. And anyone viewing this as a shipping piece is a bit goofy.

i feel like the crown IS relevant to elia as well considering all this shit kind of started going downhill when he crowned lyanna with it. she was there, she was shamed by rhaegar riding past her at the tourney of harrenhal, it can definitely be used as a symbol of rhaegar and elia's marriage starting to deteriorate. it wasn't meant as a shipping piece and i don't think it should be controversial even if i had drawn rhaegar crowning elia queen of love and beauty outright because i've never been and will never be nasty about lyanna especially not over a silly ship war or in defense of a blonde man

What was the point in doing b&c in the show it had zero lasting impact and now they’re doing the whole son for a son thing again with Rhaenyra and Alicent. Like why not just have that happen from the start it makes more sense in the story they’re letting, not that the story their telling really makes sense at all. Did they only include jaehaerys’ death so it could be another kick to tg bc it kinda seems like it. They’re just so all over the place it’s kinda funny they don’t even know what this show is supposed to be anymore. It really is just a fanfic with all the inconsistencies in the plot and characters, this is what I expect from a middle schooler on wattpad not so called professionals.

If Fairy World oeprates on schooling and being tall enough for the job (ex. Cookie's Court; A New Wish) maybe Peri turned down dentistry because he was too short

"can we stop pretending the evil stepmother trope is bad and boring" oh my FUCKING GOD just reread the book!!!! just reread the fucking book!!!!!! if you want the book canon so bad it's right there, go read it!!!!! you've got to have it in your possession since you talk about it all the fucking time and i'd be astounded if someone this fucking pressed hasn't actually read it!!!!!! the change to rhaenyra and alicent's relationship has been known since they first cast the fucking show!!!!! it's been there since episode one!!!!!!! if you don't like it don't watch the show and just REREAD THE FUCKING BOOK!!!!!!

Creating the festival and the clothing brand was the most brilliant thing he's done and it's clearly something that resonates with him. The potential that these two fronts have is incredible and the time for the clothes is perfect because that style is so on trend right now AMAZING

yeah the festival is genius in so many ways; him getting to play (and headline) a festival when he wasn’t getting booked for any, thereby proving to bookers he was more than fit for festival stages, promoting his fave smaller bands and artist, building his personal brand as an important figure in british indie circles and gaining so must buzz and respect in the industry, I could go on it is brilliant..

and now 28 clothing which also seems so authentic and true to who he is while yes also being super relevant to current fashion trends.

his brain..!

The rise of "let people enjoy things" is single handedly the backbone of the rise of anti intellectualism

israelis get more upset over people pointing out that being a non-Palestinian citizen of israel means being a settler and often an active participant in apartheid, than they do over the fact that there’s an apartheid and genocide happening.

like sorry not sorry, but whenever I see an Israeli whining about how “we’re not our government” or “Israelis are ppl too” it’s like cool. so anyways they discovered another mass grave of Palestinians today.

MK1!Tomas should pick better topic to talk about with original Bi-Han than the issue of dead father... both because Sub-Zero won't care and the Sub-Zero brothers backstory may hit too close to Tomas' own comfort.

Timeline mess AU:

MK1!Bi-Han meets cryomancer kid!Kuai Liang (+ one sad pyromancer adult Kuai Liang)

Kid MK1!Kuai Liang meets MK9!Smoke (+ one sad cryomancer adult Kuai Liang)

Old Lin Kuei meets the new Lin Kuei

as expected people online are already reacting to stuff from the Game Freak leaks as "actually stuff they planned to use" and not "this is the stuff they decided *not* to put in the game". given it is BETA material you'd think people would be able to separate it from the final product but alas

an interesting (unpopular? i think?) soukoku opinion i have is i don't think dazai was oblivious to his feelings towards chuuya, like ever. i understand WHY people interpret dazai as having trouble identifying and reckoning with his emotions; i'm not knocking it! there's plenty of evidence to suggest that and also i think it fits with his actions. HOWEVER. for me dazai is the most fun when he's deliberately suppressing and neglecting his own feelings. dazai realizes at the tender age of like 15 that he's at least infatuated with chuuya, and his first instinct is "well how do i compartmentalize that. how do i make sure this doesn't interfere with my plans and our job at the mafia." and then he compromises with his emotions by keeping chuuya close but not allowing himself to seem too affectionate or "trick" chuuya into liking him back. i think this version of dazai is most compelling to me because then the struggle isn't "get blockhead dazai to realize he's in/can love" its "get blockhead dazai to realize he's allowed to indulge in love" which is much more fun, especially when you have seven (or even more, i don't think this mindset would be limited to chuuya) years worth of distancing himself from his own emotions to contend with.
