Look Kai’s angst to me isn’t “he had to raise his sister bc his parents went missing”.
To me, Kai’s angst is: without his parents he felt unsupported and he “lost his way” to quote the show. Feeling resentful and internalising their disappearance as some act of spite against him, which is why he feels the need to prove himself (trying to be a better blacksmith than his dad in the pilots, wanting to be the green ninja), and boost his ego; he’s coping with the abandonment.
However this is very self focused meaning he doesn’t spend the amount care people think he does towards Nya. He doesn’t fucking raise her. And btw I’m not saying he neglects her bc I don’t think you can neglect someone if you don’t have to fulfil that duty in the first place. She’s not a little baby in need of fatherly love from her brother who is like 2 years older than her. And yeah I think Kai probably should’ve paid more attention to her a little bit but that’s it. And the fact that he didn’t is interesting for both of them.
It’s like people ignore Nya’s constant theming of being independent and being left out. She always feels that she’s falling behind in s1, which is why she eventually decides to do her own thing. Her own true potential is about trying to be perfect because she’s got her own high standards due to feeling like she’s not good enough because she was abandoned and then afterwards she was only seen as “the girl ninja”.
Also every time Kai and Nya talk about their relationship in their childhood they always mention how they were equals in raising eachother and that Nya was independent and that Nya helped and supported Kai.

Idk if this is a hot take but why is it always “Kai slaved away and worked his ass off to raise his sister” and never the other way round or them working hard together?
Like, I know he’s older but in the show, does he really… act older? Like if you think about Kai and Nya’s dynamic yknow? Because from my understanding:
When Kai and Nya are introduced we see Kai fail at making a sword and Nya being the one to chide him for it. Kai makes an overconfident statement about wanting to be a better blacksmith than his father. This suggests that one, Kai is rather rash as well as inexperienced (something that lines up with the rest of his character arc in the pots and also generally), with Nya being the more mature figure in contrast
Also just a note but in the shorts: “I can handle it!” “No you can’t, stupid”
Kai frequently being very good at neglecting people or things: leaving Lloyd at an arcade whilst being focused on finding samurai x, not even knowing samurai x was Nya or that she only did it because she felt left out by him, completely abandoning both Nya and Lloyd in s3 (and Ik he was going through it at the time, but in line with the fandom’s characterisation of him)
Kai in season 5: “After I lost my dad, I lost my way. But I was lucky to have my sister watch over me”
Generally, their dynamic isn’t one where Kai really provides for Nya at all. In fact, judging by the fact that Nya can make entire mechs and Kai struggled to make a sword, Nya was probably busting her ass to provide for Kai. And judging by the s5 quote, that’s probably true. I’m not saying Nya raised Kai, it just rubs me the wrong way when she’s treated like a decorative flourish to a narrative that paints Kai as a burnt out child who was forced to grow up too soon especially since that is such a mischaracterisation of him in the first place.

this is going to be controversial as fuck but here’s my hot take: harry does not desire normalcy.
yes, he doesn’t like the fame. or the attention. or the hero-worship. that’s absolutely not up for debate.
but that does NOT mean he wants to be “normal.”
listen. there’s no fucking way this boy would be happy without running off to solve murders or uncover corrupt schemes or jump inside burning buildings to save children. he lives for the thrill. and he lives for fighting evil. and he lives for making the world right. that’s part of his personality.
it’s why his career as an auror makes so much sense. he’d absolutely LOVE his job, and he’d be fucking amazing at it.
his dream isn’t just to settle down and have some kids with ginny. that’s part of it, obviously, but as long as there’s still evil in the world, he absolutely will not be fine with just sitting around.
harry’s hero arc doesn’t just depend on him being the child of the prophecy. it depends on his own personality. prophecy or not, dead parents or not, boy-who-lived or not, harry still would have been HUGELY involved in the war.
feel free to try to change my mind, but you won’t be successful.

i never understood and probably never will why it's draco, pansy and blaise considered bronze trio, like??? it was always draco, crabbe and goyle. pansy was just always somewhere in the background crushing draco and bullying people but she was never directly involved into draco's plans - crabbe and goyle were the ones helping him with voldemort's plan as a girls, they went with draco when he faced harry in dh searching for the horcrux, usually they were with him when he was bullying golden trio. and blaise makes even less sense. he literally just appeared in 6th book and didn't even like draco that much and they had almost no interactions as blaise is this type of person who thinks he's the best so he wasn't even part of draco's gang. idk i dislike all of them but it feels lowkey like people pretend crabbe & goyle aren't there with draco cause they were ugly + had kinda no personality (though blaise and pansy weren't saint)

Lupin literally coached Neville about the whole boggart-Snape (it could have easily been his grandmother, but I'm not sure how reliant that statement is seeing as I can't remember a source so take it with a grain of salt) And as a counterargument-why isn't Harry's boggart Voldemort then? After all that should have been his biggest fear ever considering he's not only orphaned but so far the past two years at school Voldemort's attempted to kill him, so you can't even use the excuse of "Well he was a baby he wouldn't remember him" because that exact line can be said for Neville. We don't know what age he lost his parents but we know he was young when it happened. That part annoys me a lot. You can hate Snape, nobody is saying you can't but its a little frustrating when nobody wants to take canon into account (again like how you bring up on how Snape only cares about Lily and not James, but then you backpeddle with "well I can understand why tho" you forget that James horrifically bullied Snape and exposed/stripped him in front of others. That's sexual assault by all means, its not any less traumatizing just because Snape is a dude) and secumsempra?? That was ONE dark spell that was genuinely harmful, and if you were regularly being ganged up 2-on-1 you'd want a defensive spell that goes "Hey FUCK OFF" and we even see Snape use it on James in Snape's Worst Memory, and James didn't go down dying of blood loss, Harry was a dumbass who fucked around with a spell FROM HIS PERSONAL BOOK that I'm sure Snape never intended to get out of his possession in the first place.
Speaking as someone who was severely bullied (because god forbid disabled gays be allowed to exist) I don't blame Snape at ALL for inventing that spell. When the people who are attacking you fight dirty, there's no honor in fighting back nicely, especially when they intend to physically harm you as much as they can (as noted when Sirius literally tried to murder/severely him at sixteen and no, James did not save him out of the goodness of his heart, he saved him to prevent Sirius and Lupin from getting in serious trouble as noted when James still continued to harass Snape well into seventh year, as noted as Lupin "it was a..special case". If you're going to try and blame Snape by saying that he shouldn't have been out of bed, neither were the other Marauders, and already being bullied and hoping to catch your bullies up to no good doesn't deserve death/being turned into a werewolf.) yes, Snape did bad things, nobody is denying that, but my issue is when you're not taking canon into account and exaggerating certain key points to make him worse than he is and its annoying when you've decided to place this in the Severus Snape tag instead of just keeping the tags to anti-Snape, we KNOW already. Another thing that is a big head shake is the racist bit. A more appropriate comparison would be classism, not everything is centered around an American view, you know, and given Snape's own blood status it wouldn't even make sense regardless.
I adjusted the racist bit as well as the general tag. It now only says anti severus snape.
And I can sympathize with getting bullied, really, I can. I recently came out as bi and let me tell you, the gay propaganda laws only make things 200 times worse then they would be elsewhere. But Snape shouldn't have created the spell, because even if he wasn't going to show anyone, he wouldn't have created it without at least subconscious intent to use it. Besides, wasn't he the only one that knew the counter curse? If he used it on someone they would died from blood loss.
And Harry and Neville are different. At that point Harry's already given up on having a semi normal life, and with Voldemort at the center of it, he can't exactly fear him if he's given up. Neville still has a normal life. At Hogwarts at least. Also, about Lupin coaching Neville through it, he only chose Neville to go first because Snape told Remus, in front of the class, that Neville wasn't very capable at magic. It may have been true, but he could've said it behind closed doors.
Also, I'm not even American (why did you assume I was? I'm honestly offended). I've been to America three times and one of those times I was a baby so I don't know if that even counts. I'm Russian.
And yeah, James and Sirius were way out of line, I'm not excusing what they did to them and I'll always harbor a little hatred for what they did (especially the whole tricking Snape into facing a werewolf on the full moon bit). But from what I've gathered (this is just what I, personally, have seen in canon (books, not movies)), Snape was harassing them almost as much as they did him.
Besides, Snape created levicorpus so how would they even know the spell if he hadn't used it on them or someone else? Doesn't excuse to borderline sexual harassment, I know.
I'm not excusing anyone's actions. I'm just saying why I don't like Snape. That's all.

i wanted to write about it for quite some time already and i actually mentioned this topic before (not that deeply as i'm planning to now) and that made me realise something. still big hp tumblr community believes snape was good. and you have no idea how surprised i was by that (one of the very few good things in hp tiktok is more snape slander comment).
beginning with this shit
the way snape grew up was indeed sad and i do feel sorry for that cause no matter what, no matter fiction or real life, no child should go through so many parents' fights.
but that's not the excuse.
snape is not the only character abused in childhood. the best example is harry and we can see how he turned out. there's also a very important difference between those two.
snape had lily.
i don't like nor really agree on comparing traumas cause everyone goes through those things differently, but we all have to agree that snape had it little better by having this one person that loved him (platonicly) and wanted to help him. this person he could talk to. he had lily, while harry had no one.
snape had his best friend yet turned out to be a death eater while harry who never had anyone in childhood turned out to be an amazing person.
yes, snape had one friend before hogwarts, but not in hogwarts. he was stated to be part of the slytherin boy group aspiring to become death eaters (together with mulciber for example).
snape didn't become a death eater by accident. it was a long process of him changing his views and priorities already at hogwarts. i do believe that the group friend he got himself into might have been partially responsible for changing his views, but it does not justify snape's views.
lily wanted to help him. snape was stated to be getting deeply interested into dark magic already as a teenager and lily noticed it too. she noticed the people he's hanging out with and didn't approve it as she knew what type of people they are. yet she was still there, she cared for him. lily said herself she tried to ignore things he was doing even though others didn't approve it.
yet he called her a mudblood. it isn't a random slur, that's what death eaters called people they mainly wanted to kill. who they believed to be less skilled, unworthy even living. i've seen a lot of people calling lily too sensitive but it wasn't just a word. it was as if he believed her to be worse sort, someone unworthy magic or even living. after all she did for him, after being there for him since before hogwarts.
and i think one of the funniest hypocrisy in hp fandom is how snape's fans bash lily for marrying a bully, yet they forget how back when snape and lily were friends, she confronted him about being friends with mulciber (a literal death eater) who did a nasty thing towards mary macdonald. and snape just said it was a joke.
and i do agree marauders (mainly james and sirius, as this is what we mostly got to see) were bullies towards snape. but snape wasn't any better and even dumbledore himself said this. let's not forget that it was snape who was obsessed with finding out the truth about remus. he wanted them to be expelled. and yes, what sirius did was higly dangerous and stupid, i fully agree, but snape played his part in it too, let's face that. and the damn sectumsempra. a curse for enemies. remus stating it was snape's speciality. we all fucking know he made it for james. both marauders and snape were bullies for each other.
but you know why it's marauders who are more commonly considered better? cause even though we had a very little content of them in canon, at the end of a day they were better people (not counting peter obviously). they joined order of phoenix, stood up against pureblood supremacy, fought against death eaters. james died for his son and wife, all that trying to protect them.
i once saw a good summary. the thing snape and james had in common is that both of them would let james die for lily.
in the same time snape joined death eaters. it was fully his decision. he was a half-blood after all, there wasn't really any pressure for him to join there.
he heard the damn prophecy and gave it to voldemort immediately. and got two families with little babies in danger. and you know what? he didn't give a damn about longbottoms. nor he did for harry and james. all he cared was to save lily. even dumbledore was disgusted by that. he didn't care that lily would be devastated after james and harry's death. he just wanted her. that shows his selfishness. and i think this comes to that line between healthy love and obsession. he didn't care what she wanted, he later said to hide them all cause dumbledore wasn't happy with his previous words.
if longbottoms were targeted instead of potters snape would never resigned from being a death eater and never become a spy. the whole spy persona was just for dumbledore to agree on helping. not that he cared much about changing the views. he regretted being a death eater because he got lily and lily only in trouble, not because of all the bad things he did towards other people.
he didn't change after becoming a spy.
he kept bullying children. he had a great knowledge for potions but all he did on the lessons was writing instructions on the board, without trying to help the students more - while potions are indeed dangerous subject. he kept favoring slytherins by taking away points from gryffindor for all the little things, slytherins never got scolded on the lessons, golden trio would get super long detentions but slytherins only when he really had no choice but to give them. even during the duel between harry and draco in 4th year he was way nicer to draco. he was the only teacher whose newt's class required O (everyone else wanted at least E) and with the way of teaching he made it almost impossible to get to this class. by this he probably ruined some future careers. he bullied neville to the point of being his boggart, all because his parents didn't die, but lily did. he made fun of hermione's physical appearance. screamed at students several times. kept bullying harry only because he looks like his father (cause in fact harry has a lot of lily's personality), which only showed his immaturity.
things he did during the war really don't count. he wouldn't have done them if not for sake of promise to dumbledore. if not for sake of obsession towards lily. jkr herself even stated that if harry wasn't lily's son he would give a fuck about him. let's begin with the fact that he wouldn't have to do anything if he simply didn't tell the prophecy. his fault.
he was the one who told the whole school about remus being werewolf. because he didn't get his order of merlin. due to that, remus again didn't have a job. he was ready to give both sirius and remus to dementors without even knowing the truth and he ignored golden trio trying to explain him that. all for sake of old rivalry, even though remus treated him like a civil. cause despite remus having flaws too, at least he grew up from the teenage rivalry. unlike some others.
oh, and i've seen people saying that he was rude cause he was a spy and he had to. well, no. rationally looking at this, he would make a better spy if he acted nice towards student. i can assure you if students were asked who out of teachers is most likely to be a death eater everyone would pick snape. honestly from his behaviour since beginning of the book it was obvious he did work with voldemort. anyone who thought of this rationally knew that, golden trio literally suspected that since 1st year before the knew he was a death eater. if he acted nice then he would make people surprised by joining voldemort after killing dumbledore. it's not like he was rude for spy's job, he was just overally rude.
as much as i love alan rickman, the movies changed snape's character much. they made him so stoic all the time while in canon he had some severe anger issues problem (even fudge stated that in poa). not to mention how they cut off a lot of moments of him being an absolute asshole.
i hate him with passion, i'm glad he's dead and i'm just crying over the fact what's albus' second name. i see what jkr's intentions were but she should have given snape a redemption in order to make this work. but she didn't. snape had no redemption, he never regretted things he did to people other than lily. he wasn't a grey character, he was just a bad character who later worked on a good side for sake of obsession after dead love and promise he made to an old guy
waiting for snape's fans to come at me again ✌🏻

I don’t understand why so many fics (especially Wolfstar) have Lupin be the one thats closest to Harry instead of Sirius. Lupin never really made any effort to keep in contact with Harry throughout the books, Sirius was the one who constantly reached out and made that effort. I also don’t like how some blame Harry for not sending letters to Lupin and keeping contact, the responsibility there should rest with the adult, not the abused and lonely kid who never had a real father figure before.

i swear, nothing will ever irritate me more in this fandom than people saying harry should have became a professor. it's my most hated headcanon and it literally makes no sense.
harry was made for being an auror.
harry loves adventures and that's something easy to spot. he thought that meeting fluffy for the first time was a great adventure and was keen on having another one. he felt quite exited to break into damn ministry to steal the horcrux from umbridge for fuck's sake. y'all really think he would sit all day in a castle teaching children? it's noticeable even in such thing as quidditch, this guy just has to move and do something. he would waste himself, his youth and his potential as a teacher.
he has everything a great auror (which he is) needs. he's very observant and notices little details; he always noticed all the little movements someone did and was able to connect it with situation (vernon pretending to read the newspaper cause his eyes weren't moving, hagrid clutching his umbrella tighter at mention of his wand, hermione having book upside down and way more). even right after waking up in gof he was able to say something bad was happening only by the sounds. he is also able to connect the dots: he was the one who had put all the facts together and realize why no one died from basilisk while basing it only on paper left by hermione, he realized bellatrix had horcrux in her vault by her reaction and he realized voldemort was after elder wand only basing on xenophilius' story about deahtly hallows (and that he's ignotus' descendant).
he's great at dada, good at transfiguration, charms, herbology, and even potions. at everything needed to be an auror. he's very powerful; his accidental magic was powerful, he casted a full patronus that drove away hundreds of dementors at age of 13, was able to stand up to imperius, even the one casted by voldemort himself. he was really good at duelling and managed to do it even with death eaters.
not to mention that he's really good at working under stress. and even though his plans don't always work, his intuition never fails. intuition told him to touch quirrell's face, to put on sorting hat, to destroy diary and way more.
he's brave, he's tough and works hard when the matter is really important.
harry WANTED to be an auror ever since crouch jr told him he'd make a good one. he mentioned this position during his career advice. he didn't even want to teach his classmates at first and you think he'd want to teach hundreds of students same things all over again and later having to check their essays? harry isn't the most socialising person and teacher works requires socialising more than auror's one. he would get tired.
and most important; auror's job is to defeat the dark wizards. to prevent them from killing anyone. you know how many babies lose their parents because of such actions? and you know who exactly knows how it feels like? auror harry potter. he would never let any more child lose their parents and any dark wizard to kill someone again. he wants to help people, he wants to reduce the evilness in this world. and after war, he would never sit back and relax knowing that death eaters are still around.
and the argument that ministry did so many bad things is one of the shittiest things i've ever heard. yes, ministry treated him shitty. and you know who else? quirinus quirrell, gilderoy lockhart, bartemius crouch junior, dolores umbridge, severus snape. what they have in common? they are defence against the dark arts teachers. almost everyone treated him like a piece of shit and that consists also of both ministry and hogwarts. but let's notice that the main problems at the ministry were fudge, umbridge, lucius malfoy and later scrimgeour (not counting corrupted ministry). all of them left by the time harry joined ministry.
besides, y'all really believe mcgonagall would let him teach when she literally argued with umbridge promising to make him an auror?

thing that will always make me so upset is how harry was treated by the dursleys. and how we don't talk about it enough.
how he spent 10 years in cupboard that was full of spiders and didn't have a light inside, even though dursleys had two empty bedrooms. how they threatened to lock him in the cupboard. how they placed bars in his window and didn't want to let him go to school. how they made him do almost all the chores while dudley didn't have to do anything. how harry did all those chores in full sun just to get a small sandwich. how they gave him small portions of food after they locked him and let him use the toilet only twice a day. how they didn't mind marge speaking ill of his death parents, didn't care to tell him he's a wizard, how they themselves spoke bad of his parents and lied to him for 10 years. how they burned his first letter. how he almost got hit by frying pan. how they got him on a diet even though he was already too skinny, and even then they were giving him less food than for the rest of them. how he actually got chocked and it stopped only because someone could have seen it. how he got threw to the other room when he just wanted his letter. how they sent him 50 pennies on christmas, how harry himself said dursleys would only be sad he didn't actually die in the chamber and several other negative statements of dursleys' behaviour.
and the fact that no one actually did anything. surprisingly, i don't blame dumbledore for leaving him there, as that was indeed the only option and i think that "he left him there just to manipulate him later" is just a bullshit, but i do agree he should have checked up on him. mrs figg could have done better, she's seen them all the time. hagrid and weasleys could have spot more. ron and hermione could have. remus could have. sirius could have. yes, order warned dursleys, dumbledore kind of faced them about that, but no one actually did anything and what happened to harry can't be undone.
and yes, i said "they". cause even though vernon was physically doing most of it, petunia is equally abusive, as she never cared, never stopped and herself abused him too. i believe she's actually more responsible for all those lies which affected harry too. and pan and diet. she's as bad as vernon which i already stated in my post before. and dudley is saint either for all these bullying.
and that's something i'm sure most of us neglected while first time reading hp, but as older you get, the more you understand.
and people wonder why he had those anger issues in 5th book. it wasn't just trauma from triwizard tournament. it's also the fact how again people didn't care, didn't listen. no one ever taught him how to deal with anger, they, in fact, didn't even let him be angry, they only kept adding trauma.
and the saddest part is that when left to the wizarding world, yes he found family and i'm absolutely happy about that, but we ended up in a point when adults again didn't care to notice, didn't care to listen and didn't care to believe. ministry and their allies lowkey acted in 5th book like dursleys.

this fandom honestly looks very one sided at the whole situation fleur vs molly & ginny & hermione and gotta admit it irritates me
i'm not trying to say that those three are absolutely saint and misunderstood, no. i do think their behaviour was rude at some points. but don't act like fleur was an absolute angel who had zero traits to be disliked for.
beginning with hermione, as i think she's the one who had the most reasons to actually dislike fleur. they met back in hermione's 4th and let's look at fleur's behaviour. she was a foreigner, a student who visited another school in another country, this school offered her food, was the organiser of tournament she was contestant of. but instead of trying to praise the school and say something nice about it, she kept comparing it to beauxbatons purposely in a way in which hogwarts seemed worse, and liked complaining about things at hogwarts. and she wasn't quiet with her opinion as hermione easily heard her. hermione, a student of said school who considered it her home and who literally risked her life for the sake of it and its students. no wonder she disliked her. yes, fleur started later changing her behaviour and that's great, but i don't really remember her actually trying to make up much for these aspects.
going to molly. i think her main concern was to get bill someone who will be for sure good to him. yes, i agree that this decision should be up to bill and her nagging him was not a good thing to do, but i genuinely believe she just wanted good for him. i agree that molly looked quite stereotypically at fleur, who was more girly and younger giving off vibes someone who would be with bill only for his looks. i can't really fully blame her for that cause let's face that, most of us tend to do that (not like it's a good thing but that's the truth). molly's behaviour towards fleur despite good intentions for bill was harsh, i agree, but i also think there's a lot of things about certainly weasleys we don't really know - personally i believe that after the war molly had time to rethink this and properly apologise to fleur (as they after all hugged in hbp). and i think that's what matters more.
and going to ginny. i think she's the one to have less reasons to dislike fleur. but since she was close with hermione, i'm pretty sure she heard from her about fleur's behaviour if she hasn't spot it herself before. and i may be looking at this differently since i'm close to ginny by age and kind of behaviour, but i also happened to have older brother, and if he brought a girl who i knew back when i've seen her before was rather narcissistic, and who gives off this "mean girl" vibes, i wouldn't be very happy of that. yes, i again agree that ginny was harsh towards her, but let's face that, ginny was harsh towards a lot of people, not only fleur, but people keep remembering only this one. bill and ginny were really close since childhood, something we've been told back in chamber of secrets, so i think her reasons are pretty similar to molly's
and i really don't understand why people think that hermione and ginny were jealous of fleur and that's why they disliked her. hermione's reasons were obvious since gof, while ginny herself was very popular and liked among boys at school, so the only kind of jealousy from ginny might be in case of fleur's relationship with bill, but as i have noticed, it was always physical appearance jealousy that was brought up.
and again, i don't want to say that those three's actions were good (but nor was fleur perfect) but i want to mark some important thing, that makes me look at this whole thing differently and why i think people get so offended by it: it's realistic. it's this kind of situation that happens to us in real life and those behaviours are often ours or our parents/parents-in-law. of course some of those cases are absolutely awful but i do not think hp one deserves to be called one of them. it's just like a regular one. and that's why i try to look at this more realistic, by real life standards (especially as a person in whose family happened something similar). and i kinda feel like it's the reason why people bash only one side, and that's something i stated back in my post about golden trio's behaviour: those characters are realistic, they act as bad and do as bad things as we do in real life and that's why we dislike them, cause we don't want to admit we act the same. we try to make ourselves look saint but the truth is, half of us are as bad as some of the characters we're bashing.
also, i want to remark that even harry noticed the change of fleur's behaviour - she mostly changed towards him after he saved her sister, which means he also thinks she wasn't the best before and this is the truth. fleur went through character development and changed from narcissistic girl to one of the war heroes. and that's absolutely great, but fandom needs to remember she wasn't always like that.

percy weasley is quite neutral character to me, i neither like him much nor hate him. but i have a certain problem with people giving him redemption.
whenever the topic of percy's redemption is brought up, there are the same arguments. that he had ambitions. and yes, i fully agree with that. percy was freackin ambitious that he could make a role model for slytherins with that. he wanted to achieve great things and worked hard to deepen his knowledge. and that's alright.
people however look at this from one perspective only; percy's character is way more different than his family's. for them, family and love (for quite some fun) were more important than career. yeah, percy was quite teased by some of his sibling, indeed (even though i honestly thought fandom would overlook this like they always do with twins actions). but he was still loved by them and they never told him to stop acting like that seriously. notice how upset they all were when he left them.
and if it all was just to justify his decision to keep closer than others with the ministry i would understand that. but there's an issue with percy everyone forget.
he literally wrote to ron to break his friendship with harry. with a boy who always spent holidays with him and even though harry indeed admitted in his thoughts that percy was his least favourite one, he was still always nice to him. yet percy believed in what ministry thought, someone who we would expect to think rationally followed ministry's stupidity so blindly. percy sent back christmas gift from his mother. someone he was always close with. percy wrote to ron that umbridge is a good woman.
i do think percy deserves redemption as he showed he regrets his actions. but stop acting like the only thing he did was having big ambitions. and stop making up those shits of being misunderstood. his ambitions quite were, but he just became pathetic later with how he acted. i will sound absolutely rude now and don't get me wrong cause i personally think fred's death was the worst, and if i could let one character survive it'd be him. but part of me is quite glad percy was one of these to witness it cause at least it showed him the consequences of his own actions. losing brother with who he just made up, but he would have spent all this time with him if he had chosen right 🤷🏻‍♀️. percy did some very bad thinks and forgetting about them does not make your opinion very valid. he was quite cruel and very blind in his way to achive success. that is not a very good trait actually. i'm just glad he actually realised that. and i hope some of you do too.
+ like i was reminded by @auroracrystal1 (thank you!) percy voted against harry during his hearing in wizengamot despite fudge clearly being unfair and later he didn't even visit his father in hospital
and what i reminded myself; percy actually quit his job while 3rd minister held the position; he's been there with fudge and with scrimgeour; he visited with him the burrow but still didn't make any contact with family (he only hugged molly but it was her who started). he still worked with thicknesse and as far as i remember arthur and percy actually met in the ministry in 1997 when golden trio made their break-in. also, he wasn't even at bill and fleur's wedding. two years after this whole mess.

this one gonna be highly unpopular i guess but i still wanna post it lol
i don't really like the headcanon of daisy dursley (dudley's headcanon daughter) being a witch
i mean, the idea itself is pretty cool, yeah. having this one daughter that turns out to have magic is always interesting especially placing it in more recent times - the mix of wizarding world with our world and all the technology (considering how far behind wizards are in case of that)
but my issue are simply dursleys. or more like the fact how fare some people go from this headcanon itself to all the scenarios later. because they make no sense.
harry and dudley will never get along well. people make them going out for a beer and talking on the phone about hogwarts. yes, harry would like to help dudley somehow because of what type of person he is. but don't forget how he bullied harry emotionally and physically ever since childhood. how harry several times stated to hate him. dudley might have changed but this kind of trauma you never forget. and dudley has some traumas with magic which signs you can find in canon so he wouldn't bring himself into wizarding world so much.
petunia and vernon are another problem. no, they would never tolerate wizarding grandchild. fucking never. they abused harry only because he was a wizard. petunia pretended to not have a sister only because she was a witch. they hated magic. they would never change their mind cause oh our lovely granddaughter. i dare say they aren't really capable of healthy love anyway. the other thing is that i'm not really sure whether dudley would actually ever cut every contacts with his parents - yes, they are responsible for raising him improperly both emotionally (which still doesn't justify his actions) and physically (him being very overweight) but dudley often depended on his parents and seemed somehow close with them so i think he's this type of person who still stays close with parents even though they are toxic. which wouldn't make the situation any better.
so the summary: for me, headcanon itself is quite interesting but it makes no sense to be placed in these two families cause it would mess up everything and make only more chaos and awkwardness. there's no way of fixing their relationship and certainly not by magic.

i still don't understand why it's dumbledore the one known for favoring his house when there's snape.
dumbledore gave golden trio points at the end of their 1st year which they fully deserved. they risked their lives for the school, obviously gryffindor deserved to win. slytherin had the cup for 6 years straight. and don't forget snape took away points from gryffindor almost every lesson, he probably did that to other houses too. no wonder slytherin had the most. and i'm saying this as a slytherin.
the only points that might look not deserved are neville's one but poor boy deserves to be appreciated for once. especially since he got 50 points taken by mcgonagall just for trying to warn his friends.
points at the end of second year were also deserved because they freakin defeated basilisk.
like where's the logic? it's the only time they got from dumbledore big amount of points and they FULLY deserved it. they risked their lives for god's sake. oh no, poor slytherins who are already favored by snape. for me it's just trying to bring dumbledore down for smallest things. don't take away golden trio's achievements.

i really don't understand why so many people like narcissa so much and consider her "the good malfoy" like bro no
some (a lot of) people forget that it wasn't only bellatrix talking with kreacher about sirius. it was also narcissa. she's partly responsible for sirius' death. and what was her reaction? she laughed at harry. at sixteen year old, a boy in age of her son, who just lost his godfather, the only person he ever felt about like a parent. that's fucking sick, she was literally a grown up woman.
we should remember harry's description of narcissa from gof. she was pretty, but she looked like she's disgusted by simply everything around. she clearly thought of herself as someone better while she's absolutely not.
bringing up the argument that "oh but she didn't like voldemort in her house, she wasn't a death eater!" yeah but like can you blame her? obviously she won't like all the death eaters and voldy killing everyone in her house and her son having to do the same, but she still agreed with voldemort's views. she cut off all her relations with andromeda and it's very unlikely they made up after the war. bellatrix killed andromeda's daughter and that's unforgivable. narcissa was close with bellatrix and death eaters this whole time. they won't make up.
and she wasn't perfect mother either. yes she wasn't abusive like petunia to harry. but she was toxic in terms of her views that she passed to draco. she raised him into being an abusive, disgusting bully. people bring up the argument that "oh draco spent so much time with lucius, it's his fault" no sweetie, narcissa had the same views, she was from house of black after all. lucius was doing some things at the ministry and narcissa didn't work so it was rather her who spent the most time with draco. and we saw how he ended up. both narcissa and lucius are equally responsible for the person draco became.
the only good known malfoys are astoria and scorpius, even if we have to base it on the disaster called the cursed child.

i'll never understand people forgiving petunia for all the things she did just because "she was jealous of lily"
ok and?
jealousy is not an excuse. she might have felt excluded but jealousy is something SHE has to work on. it's not lily's fault she's a witch. lily was a wonderful person and tried to be on good terms with petunia but it was her who acted shitty. she threw away announcement of harry's birth, did not let lily be bridesmaid and didn't even show up on her wedding.
she abused harry for years, she let vernon abuse him, she kept him in cupboard, she tried to hit him with a fucking frying pan, she purposely left him on king's cross while she knew how to get to the platform 9 and 3/4. she got him go on a diet when harry was already underweight only because dudley had to. and even then she kept giving him less food than for the rest of them. she hidden the truth, spoke ill of lily. she was an abuser and does not deserve the redemption. she never regretted the way she treated harry. vernon didn't change her, she was always this way. remind yourself the first ever chapter - petunia didn't know yet lily's dead and she spoke ill even of such silly topic as harry's name. vernon literally stated they usually acted like petunia's got no sister.
the scene (thankfully deleted) with "i lost my sister" is fucking disgusting. you all act like this justify her abusing an innocent child and causing him a trauma. she never said that in the book and MOVIES ARE NOT FUCKING CANON. she fucking cried because dudley oh so beautifully talked with harry. not because she was leaving harry. she did not give a fuck that he will be left alone having to fight voldemort. she kept him only because she had to, not because she actually cared.
i once got into an argument about that with someone on tiktok who tried to tell me it was vernon who changed petunia, she was only sad and jealous and harry would have worse life in orphanage. his life in orphanage would be the same. if you forgive petunia's actions you simply support a child abuser and it's fucking sick and disgusting.

there's a lot of different opinions about golden trio based on each of their actions - some people judge harry for saying dumbledore doesn't know how it feels after sirius died. or that he tends to do something without thinking at accuses two the same people over and over. they judge hermione for sending birds on ron after seeing ron kissing lavender, for hexing marietta's face and "kidnapping" rita. they judge ron for being jealous and "lazy"
and that's why i love golden trio. they are exactly like us. they are a typical teenagers in the way they are acting. they think of themselves, they feel awful and that no one understands them and their pain. they have people they hate and love to gossip about them and accuse them whenever something bad happens. they are sometimes ruthless when it's about their friends' good and their reputation. they want revenge. they let their emotions take over the control especially when it's about love. they tend to be jealous as their life isn't perfect and they tend to put things for later so they could chill.
they are exactly like us, like any other teenagers and that's why some people hate their behaviour so much - they don't want to admit they act the same as they think they're perfect and can judge other people's behaviour cause they would never do something like that.
