If you don't mind answering, why do you ship Tom Riddle and Harry Potter? Besides the whole issue that they are enemies, and the age difference, both characters are heterosexual. It's canonical fact. If it's the dynamic you like... Have you thought about Tomione's ship? They have a lot of potential together. And in the right direction, they would be a couple that could make it in the books.
JDKLJKLFJSDLKFJA This kinda feels like people knocking on your door and trying to get you to believe in their religion. It's pretty funny.
I don't know why are you calling issues to a part of the pairing's appeal lkajdsjfs (And Hermione is Harry's age and they are on the same side too?). And not sure about that canonical fact. Harry can be read as bisexual quite easily and Voldemort|Tom... idk he seems more obsessed with power, immortality, and Harry. But even if that's the case, I don't see why it should matter. We're in fandom after all.
I don't know if I'll be able to convey why I like this ship so much. For starters, I'm really into the unique connection they share. There was a piece of Voldemort's soul inside Harry's; they had a mental link; a whole language they're the only ones to speak (for the most part); Voldemort chose him and marked him; and there's even a prophecy that linked them together. There aren't two people more connected than them. They're soulmates, and the fact that Voldemort didn't intend it and Harry hates it adds another layer of complexity.
But not only that, they're like a broken reflection of each other, which I find fascinating. In his second year, Harry was worried about the similarities between them. Both half-bloods, orphans, raised by Muggles, they both considered Hogwarts their first real home. I feel like they would have really understood each other in other circumstances. They would have been friends. Because one of their key differences is that Harry found friends and adults that loved him while Tom was probably bullied and, y'know, the whole Dumbledore thing.
Not to mention that Harry would die for everyone whereas Tom would kill everyone. They're insane in their own way. I love their similarities and differences, but more than anything else, I love when they're together. The fanfics and fanarts are awesome.
And the whole thing of being enemies feels quite gay sometimes klafjdlskfja. Harry can't help but think Tom is handsome and, despite everything Voldemort did, Harry wanted to give him one last chance to show remorse. I have no doubt Harry is crazy enough to actually forgive him.
I've thought about Tomione and I've come to the conclusion that I don't like it. pinktom has a really good post about it and I agree with it. Besides, Hermione liked Ron and had something with Krum, and they're nothing like Tom. Just because she's heterosexual doesn't mean she's attracted to any man, y'know? klajdlfkdjs I don't think they would have been a couple in the books, no matter the direction. If it's the dynamic you like, have you thought about Tomarry? More believable, more intense, and a wider range of wholesomeness to fucked up in the fics. It's really interesting. Unless you don't like men being together? Hmm? Suspicious (just kidding. To each their own. So no need to go to other people's asks to try to change their minds :kek:).
Also Harry is my favorite character and he's not replaceable. I kinda don't care about any other character tbh. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Ik ED’s come from such a bad place but I have to admit so often it feels like a punishment for wanting so little. Like, at some point it just feels absurd I can eat one meal every 2 days and still not lose weight.. like, surely eventually something has to happen right? Like.. right? Even tempering it like only wanting to lose a pound or two it just ..doesn’t happen. I don’t understand. At this point for me frustration nigh eclipses any original goal and I just want to see SOME change, like, anything. Sorry for being insane in your inbox, idk if anyone else feels this way.
yeah i totally feel this and i think a lot of people do TBH....it might be a little different or more extreme for you as i've never actually been diagnosed with an ED but as someone whose definitely struggled with long-term food issues the absolute frustration of it was one of the main things that mentally burned me out for a long time.....like i rmr being 15 and working out and eating less for days only to get on the scale and not lose anything and just like bursting into tears and almost passing out from how tired i was.....and TBH there's so many nuanced reasons for it like we all have our own unique bodies and metabolisms and genetics and they're usually incompatible without whatever crazy bodily ideal we've pictured in our heads.....and the evilness of ED's/food issues is that the illness really does count on your anger and pain and disappointment to motivate you like. even if you were to lose 1 or 2 pounds you wouldn't feel that sense of satisfaction you're after, at least not for long. your sick brain would just move the goal posts and set another probably more insane target for you to reach and then get mad at yourself and punish yourself when you don't (because we're not built to. like literally.) and so the cycle persists. and the worst part is like when you're in the middle of these episodes you don't care about any of this, the logistics of it, and in fact you're often inspired by how unhealthy you're being because it makes you feel like you're winning in some fucked up way. but really you're just prolonging you're own irritation at yourself, your own mental anguish. it's messed up, and i'm really sorry you're dealing with it. i know it's absolutely exhausting, and i'm sure you already know all this. just wanted to offer some understanding and also some encouragement - that you do deserve to help yourself and take care of yourself, that you're not doing anything wrong by not being what your illness wants you to be. i really hope you have (or are able to build over time) a support network and/or find a compatible professional to help you deal with this and manage it in a low-risk way, even if it it's a long and painful journey to get to that point. thank u for sharing this with me and being vulnerable with me, i know it's not easy to be so frank about something so hard. x

I know you're totally against a reboot and I think currently they're SUPER overdone, but like a good QaF.... retelling for the 2020s would be fun (for me!)
but just this was not that, his 70 year old mom coming out as a Lesbian after she gets finger banged in the bathroom of a queer Jazz bar by the lesbian partner of her son's best friend who's also the mother of her grandkids? it's like soap opera mad libs!
also like I'm sure the script went through A LOT of re-writes, so at some point it might have been QaF and they wanted to keep Justin/Nate but fully hired a 24 year old to play a 17 year old and they did NOT look like they were in high school nooo nooo NO
also Ryan O'Connell like he already made a FULL 2 season TV show being that SAME character, 20something with CP, a co-dependent disability mom, failure to launch, moving out, "am I unfuckable in gay world as a disabled person?" etc like Special was a good show why would you do it again as a bad subplot of a lesser show?
also also the flashback.... like... how they kept bleeping the deadname, and like Brodie big sin is calling Ruthie that but it's bleeped out just... like... seems so weird? choices just choices, like it's either too upsetting/insensitive to trans viewers to do, or its not, censoring the word (even though you can clearly lip read what name it is) doesn't change the scene? it just makes it weird?
clearly can go on all day about that fucking trainwreck madness
Hey anon!
It was just a hot mess and at times to me I felt like 'are they deliberately taking the piss here is it supposed to be comedic?'
But the thing is I don't want to watch a third retelling of the Brian/Justin story we've been there done that. We got the original vision with Stuart/Nathan and then the US retelling of that and their own canon universe with Gale/Randy. They are both amazing in their own ways we don't need a 2022 one of the same people. Not to mention both the actors and characters of Brodie/Nate had no chemistry and were cringe.
Be original! Be unique! They had the template there they had more poc/trans characters/disabled characters and diversity but then totally failed on the execution.
None of these characters were likeable or made me feel for them because any moment of sensitivity or care was immediately followed up by some insane plot twist. Brodie's argument where he used the dead name felt so forced and was never even addressed fully afterwards because suddenly he was in love with Ruthie so yk let's just skip over that. The ending in the rain with the kiss was a choice it was both offensive and cliché.
Julian as a character was one of the better ones and it was refreshing to see him as a disabled character navigating his love life and place in the community but of course was then muddied with crazy soap opera love twists.
Brodie being involved in 1435 storylines at once where his mother/brother/best friend and her partner were all involved in some group swapping sex partners plot was just fucking bonkers.
I never cared about these characters because the show chose quantity instead of quality and never fleshed out one plot properly. The uk/us cast made me love the characters, hate them, empathise with them because they felt relatable and like real people the reboot were just like a joke. Not to mention the standard of actors were just higher in previous versions.
Like you say there's so many things that were wrong with the show we'd be here forever talking about it. But yk saving grace it's been cancelled so no fear of a part two 😌

⬛ 2.2K CELEBRATION
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He has absolutely no time to deal with feelings, or so is how he thinks it is
He focuses on business, work and ways to make his family greater and more powerful, every day. How to deal with enemies and how to put money on the hands of those who will bring good things to the company in the future
Tommy believed he had no time for feelings and yet, they striked him down like a lighting and it was all because of you
I will not say it was love at first sight, because it wasn't
At your first meeting Tommy would probably be too caught up in his own mind to pay you any attention at all
But then he would do it when you were not paying attention to him but to someone else, that way he could really see you
He watched the way you laughed, the way you smiled or how you rolled your eyes when someone made a comment you did not like
You had an unique personality, and Tommy found himself chuckling alone because of your temper
He would probably made an advance someday, randomly and with the very clear intention of making that a one time thing, there was not going to be another time for you two
And you accepted that, because well, he was Tommy after all. It's not like you, knowing him so little, had expected anything different
So you would enjoy that brief time and that was it, he left and did not look back or turn around
But it turned out, just a little time afterwards he realized he regretted walking out of that door without saying anything, and he was not someone who regretted a lot of things he had done
Bloody hell, he had not felt regret for killing people before, but he did for that. For leaving you behind and walking away, because Tommy found out he liked your company
Not just your body, but you
And he had not felt about someone like that in a incredibly long time
On your meetings after that, you would be surprised to always feel Tommy's eyes on you but he would not approach, even though you wanted him to
He would just sit back and enjoy his drink at The Garisson, because he could not accept the fact that he had feelings for you
And you thought about approaching the Peaky Blinder, but you thought it was better if you didn't
He was Tommy Shelby. How could you even begin to understand what was going on in that man's mind when his own family did not?
So you moved on with your life and you let it go
That was, until the day Tommy had enough and cornered you on your way out of The Garisson
He was drinking, but he wasn't drunk. In fact, he seemed to be more sober than ever as he just looked at your face and stayed silent, like he always did
And it was already driving you crazy, so you yelled at him to just say or do something, to just get whatever it was he wanted to say out of his chest
Tommy did. With rough words, a loud tone and determination. He said a lot, more than he needed to, but the part that most got to you were this one:
"I have had ENOUGH of this! I can not deal with business everyday and do what I must when I have YOU on my mind all the time! YOU and the fact that I want you! Fuck, I think I LOVE you and this crazy shit is driving me insane right now, (Y/N)!"
And after such a heated, full of meaning speach, all you could do was walk towards him and slowly place your hands on his chest, where you felt his heartbeat
Tommy looked so wrecked you wanted to hug him. Take care of him, like he didn't let anyone do
"We will work this out. You and me, Tommy"
You were more than happy when he hugged you tightly and whispered back:
"You and me"
