Your bio is new! I haven't looked at it in a while. Soap and könig. Interesting 🫣

Very interesting, indeed 😌

Im more obsessed with Soap than König tho. I adore him. I want to inject that feral Scottish man into my bloodstream. That goes for the character and the actor.

But aside from just Soap, I like the COD universe...or what I know of it. I even made an OC for it for the shits and gigs.

Side note: Whoever came up with Simons backstory needs to fight me. Immediately. Right now.

Side side note: Stan Gaz for clear skin. I hate the individuals who replace him with König as if he isn't literally part of KorTac and not TF141. There's certain things within the fandom that I hate but 🤷🏾

sometimes I wish I knew some of you IRL so I could send you things in the mail like it's 19th century England and I can shock you with the news of having a new neighbor and what that means for my cat's marriage prospects or whatever

Simply Haunted

Hello,

I wanted to share my personal poem that I've written (not hp related) that's based on a dark time in my life, when I was twenty-two.

I'm going to leave it below the cut because it deals with the topic of Miscarriage and I don't want someone to read it, if it causes you pain. (feel free to ignore!) Just know that going through this is incredibly difficult and I hope you know that you're never alone in this.

TW: Miscarriage

tagging: @redandbrown and @joyseuphoria

Although, my mind was running a mile a minute as it attempted to evade the truth.

It was simply no use, for the words that were spoken, still taunt me.

Now and forever.

Five minutes of happiness were forcefully taken away, on that dreadful day.

As dread and anger settled within the confides of my heart.

Letting those words that were spoken to grasp my heart in a clutch.

How could this be?

How could I fail?

My body has betrayed me.

The tears that rolled down my face, had meant nothing to fate.

Fate only laughed at my failure, just like a supposed sister…

“It makes me laugh, knowing you lost something, you will never hold!”

Such cruel words.

As they pierced through my soul,

Slowly breaking me to pieces

As I shatter on the inside,

No one will see me shed a tear.

As I’m haunted….

Forever haunted

By my failure;

Haunted forever by these words: “There is no heartbeat…six weeks”

Refusing to believe the truth that’s spoken to you is the hardest thing to do.

Pure torture, is what I was inflicting upon myself.

Do I still count as a mother, if I never even had the chance?

Am I allowed to whimper, “Happy Mother’s Day”, while I fall into my own personal hell?

As the world sleeps, I lay awake

Haunted by those words

Haunted by my failure

Tell me… dear friend….

Will you hold me while I break?

Soothe me with gentle words,

As I stain your shirt with my tears.

As fate laughs at me, for my failure.

Taunting me

Goading me

Haunting me

Please, tell me that I’m a mother, even though my body betrayed me

Don’t let my demons haunt me, forever

Help me silence those cruel words

Please, that's all I ask of you.

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 🤣.

I love the minimal effort that the current influx of porn bots have in their bios. No, you're not a nurse from Maryland, and no one is gonna be fooled by that cute corn emoji. Nevertheless you ✨tried✨.

Did you do anything fun for New Years Day?”

Hi anon! Well, it depends on your definition of fun...I have a newborn at home so the day was spent with lots of snuggles, diaper changes, and feedings.

I hope your start to the new year has been spectacular! 🍾🎊
