#just when i thought i had hit the limit of how horrified i could be by fandom #they really....they really outdid themselves there #(this is about the whole hp squick thing don't google it) #(unless you're really prepared for some fucked up shit and already have a really strong stomach) #(like a really really strong stomach for gore specifically) #(don't google it) #oof #i mean i definitely did this to myself but i was just not expecting that one lol #cuz i really thought i had maxed out #i'm pretty desensitized to a lot #nope the fucking harry potter fandom came out of left field to provide me with a mental image that's going to haunt my nightmares #well done #not well done #though i mean it's fiction i'm no innocent here but still #literally one of the worst things i've read with my own two eyes #oh my god i just looked up the fanlore article this is the ORIGIN OF THE WORD SQUICK???? #HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS #HOW WAS I SO INNOCENT UP UNTIL THIS MOMENT #i still...really like the word in the more popular way #because it's a useful term for something that bothers you but falls short of a trigger #but honestly this original definition....that's not a squick that's something that made me #a former EMT who has spent the last week listening to a **cannibalism podcast** and was already pretty desensitized kind of nauseous #holy shit my friends #don't mind me i'm just coming to a whole revelation over here it's fine #i'm having...just...a whole moment over here
