I just realised Something about a portion of fandom I don't really engage with all that much. Because I don't want to, btw.

In all other shows, movies, books, etc, every single bad person is at least somewhat 'ugly' according to the narrative. The 'problematic' characters rarely get acknowledged because there are so many good looking characters who are good themselves (I remember Annabelle from the first book of Percy Jackson, I think, and there were more ofc).

However, Rowling's main idea about appearances was that it was an illusion. Every single good looking character is either reprehensible or ends up dying (Cedric) in the same book they were introduced*. The story wants to be relatable to how every teen feels, and no matter what, we all have insecurities.

However, they're just teens, and on top of that, at least one or more of our main teens have done something terrible or badwrong (Hermione with skeeter and Marietta). So, they aren't exceptionally beautiful and neither are they exceptionally good. Even the side characters who are popular come across as jerks to some of their family members, making their sibling cry.

This creates a problem for the people who don't have a sense of self yet, or are so scarred they can only look at life through black & white lenses.

The Halo effect playing greatly onto the above, we're presented with another set of teens, two of whom are described as extremely sought after by the opposite sex, one of whom is popular, and the final one who has endeared himself by showing ugly Snivellus his place (via map and the Verbal Sparring). They all, by the end of this introduction, understand that Snivellus is badwrong and doesn't deserve anything good.

'It's clear he's the villain, and has been since forever, see, these people agree with me and they're the Protagonist's parents.' Whether this is believed because of the Halo effect or taking Harry's perspective to mean a God pov, I can't tell. The point being, they are even more convinced.

They want an escape from how difficult it is to sort out their feeling about these people the author keeps throwing at their face so why not attach to the characters who are dead or strongly attached to the protagonist (so they can never be badwrong in later books). A safety blanket of sorts, if you will. And in doing so, they completely ignore the nuances of the scenes presented in the last book. Because they are attached, they'd rather call badwrong Snivellus' love impure than explore what the montage of all his memories implied. That beauty is skin deep.

The thing about people who like such black and white scenarios and people is: they will always fall prey to the Halo Effect. And it's extremely painful to be disillusioned about your favourites. So they may never get disillusioned.

All this to say, sometimes I wonder why that part of the fandom is like 'that'. And it's just that this is the safety net in this series, or this is just how vanilla people outside of fandom coming in can take.

And that's fine (coz I'm crazy for the marauders era as well, just with a slightly wider taste pallet).

TL Dr: The antis are attracted to wholesome ships and since Rowling made it so difficult to find such ships until much later where you are emotionally connected with each character, the antis attached to a bunch of (mostly) dead people who, by association to the Hero of the story, being pretty, popular, and clear on their behaviour with the badwrong confusing character, are all good. They were desperately looking for the safety net in the books and found some. Also, since antis are the way they are, maybe they believe the fictional character being dead means people would not criticise their wholesome ship? Idk.

A/N:

*The only properly handsome man - Bill - barely gets mentioned, marries a beautiful woman, and imo the only reason he doesn't die is because he didn't revel in his handsomeness or popularity (him liking Snape in school is so cute + that disqualifies him from being popular with the antis since he likes the badwrong character). Also, he was literally scarred on his once handsome face to show that his wife actually loved him and didn't just choose him to have beautiful babies. Her being a veela and owning her Frenchness were already flaws (in the narrative's opinion) so all she needed was a scarred husband. Now, they both don't have to die 🤣.

Okay, imagine MC is in a relationship with an FBI agent before they met Jake and then MC falls in love with Jake.

You hafta be kidding me...

So, if you have seen my last post about being ridiculed about being Kemetic... it happened *again* 🥲

Different aunt than the last one, but has said some awful stuff in the past.

Apparently now I'm "worshipping evil"...

Like she or the other aunt knows *shit*. My mother won't get her family in check and is basically telling me to suck it up and not start a "war". I'm tired of this too...

But I gotta find a way to get them to stfu once and for all. I'm so tired. Ma is saying for me to stop talking about it entirely, yet they can mention God and Jesus and church in the group chat???? Nah. I'm not hiding my religion anymore, I'm gonna be *proud* like my mother tells me to be about anything else. I'm gonna try to get confident enough to wear my ankh out.

I'm T I R E D.

On a funner note, how should I respond to that, if one of my supportive aunts doesn't jump on her?

Ugh, I hate it here sometimes.

I for some reason was expecting smooth sailing for Matty and George now and I’ve forgotten some major UK tour drama e.g. miss xcx’s appearance e.g. the remix

Also Matty has pissed me off big time he deserves the cold that he caught in Glasgow

I was wondering when or whether at all someone would bring this up, and it took less than I thought it would.

Well done indeed.

I know I've mentioned potentially wanting to explore this ages ago (if you've been here long enough you know I have), but the question right now is: did I change my mind in order to give these two a happy ending, or did I follow through? 👀

while shinichi knows that ran ( and sonoko ) would stick by him if he was a detective or not , shinichi was honestly worried that he'd lose all the rest of the friends that he made as conan due to retiring. after all , a lot of his confidence and self-worth was built into his work as a detective , and he sometimes wonders that , without it , would anyone else care to stay ?
