I don't know if it needs to be said but if you haven't figured it out yet I don't want any Trump supporters following or interacting with me. Stay the fuck away from me

yes, hello, please let the record show that when Harry and Draco meet at Madame Malkin's and Harry is reminded strongly of Dudley Draco hasn't done anything that is particularly vile, he's just

been blond (technically "pale", we can't yet make the Dudley to Draco connection via hair color)

talked about having two involved parents

I direct the jury to this exchange:

Draco is just behaving like a kid, even if he uses the world "bully" ( he's clearly using it hyperbolically) and drawls (the Malfoy Special, if you will). This is not exactly villain foreshadowing 101.

Something could be said for how Draco's words suggest a power dynamic wherein he's in control of his parents, like Harry views Dudley and the Dursleys's relationship, but also... Draco is a child making boastful remarks to another child, one would expect exaggeration as par for the course.

I fail to see any signs of Great Evil; Draco's phrasing may have triggered feelings of inadequacy and maybe also envy, (Harry wants a family most of all as per the mirror of erised) but also, Harry has presumably been going to school and has met plenty of parented children, this can't be a new situation.

What I'm saying is that jkr is doing a bit of a tell don't show, she is giving us the key with which we are to interpret every one of Draco and Harry's interactions from this moment on but kind of falls flat in the execution.

What I (and others beside me) read in their following interaction is just two people not understanding eachother. One boy feels confused, insecure and out of his depth and the other one doesn't know this is happening. Draco is trying to make a good impression on a schoolmate by saying any and all impressive things he can think of, not knowing that by repeating his father's greatest hits he's inadvertently alienating Harry.

In conclusion, your honor, I posit to you that upon their meeting Harry immediately feels strongly about Draco but, in his inexperience (and lack of emotional development see: cupboard), he is unable to identify the origin of said strong feelings and attributes them to dislike (the Dudley Connection). Thus a scene meant to highlight their incompatibility ends up foreshadowing Harry and Draco's unusual bond instead.

tldr: drarry is a great ship, jkr is an idiot savant who managed to write the greatest enemies to lovers storyline of all time without meaning to and also I know I'm reaching but I've decided this is the bible truth since truth is what you make of it.

i lied. put your clothes back on. let’s talk about why cursed child is so overly hated and criticised but is actually one of the most beautiful, raw and complex pieces of work in the harry potter franchise.

I've said it before but I really really really need everyone in the disco elysium fandom to like. look at themselves for a moment and make sure they're not being insanely ridiculously dehumanizing to addicts because I see it way too often. I'm not talking about saying that harry is a bad person, depending on your choices in your playthrough he could absolutely be described as a very shitty person, I'm talking about this weird insistence that harry as an addict/recovering addict/whatever doesn't deserve love or friendship or community because he's just That Bad and he will ALWAYS be That Bad and inflicting him on someone else would be cruel and unusual punishment. like... actually fuck each and every last one of you who says shit like that I'm not joking.

So. Okay I did this as a color study and it was one of those cases where I hadn’t had a plan to post it until I was already finished and I think it looks alright, and I wanna show off the colors, but I’m embarrassed by it. So I called my friend for moral support and I said something along the lines of “what if the Disco Elysian fandom thinks it looks weird and cringe and makes fun of me” to which my friend abruptly tells his mom “hey mom, make fun of my friend” and she, no hesitation, calls me a looser-

So I start dying laughing and she, unable to hear me on the phone laughing so hard tears are forming in my eyes, immediately backtracks and says “oh my god that was mean! Whoever this friend is, I’m so sorry. I’m sure you’re lovely.” And he tells her it’s me and she lets out the most anguished “NOOOOO” I have ever heard, causing me to laugh even harder

Anyway. That story is the only reason I’m posting this.

I got inspired to make this after spending more than 5 minutes on Facebook (I know better but I'm looking for a TV so I was checking marketplace but I'm easily distracted)

in warsaw public transport they play a psa called ‘the crosswalk is not a silent disco’. it’s super annoying and depicts a guy who wears headphones at all times because he’s just SO into silent disco. then he’s at a crosswalk and he’s so lost in the sauce and jamming to his awesome tunes that he doesn’t notice a tram coming his way and gets fucking HIT BY THE TRAM. all i’m saying is HARRY DU BOIS DISCO ELYSIUM.

wait ur a hp fan??/pos

i have such a complicated relationship with the harry potter series because yes it did shape me as a person, yes it was my first book, yes it was my first fandom, yes i did start writing because of harry potter. but also i hate JKR and the message behind the series now that i'm an adult. harry didn't get the ending that he deserved, he didn't get a lesson worth living for
