Slytherin aesthetics đŤâ¨ď¸

I think one of the reasons the Harry Potter Epilogue was so poorly received was because the audience was primarily made up of the Millennial generation.
Weâve walked with Harry, Ron and Hermione, through a world that we thought was great but slowly revealed itself to be the opposite. We unpeeled the layers of corruption within the government, we saw cruelty against minorities grow in the past decades, and had media attack us and had teachers tell us that we âmust not tell liesâ. We got angry and frustrated and, like Harry, Ron and Hermione, had to think of a way to fight back. And them winning? That would have been enough to give us hope and leave us satisfied.
But instead. There was skip scene. And suddenly they were all over 30 and happy with their 2.5 children.
And the Millennials were left flailing in the dust.
Because while we recognised and empathised with everything up to that point. But seeing the Golden Trio financially stable and content and married? That was not something our generation could recognise. Because we have no idea if weâre ever going to be able to reach that stage. Not with the world weâre living in right now.
Having Harry, Ron and Hermione stare off into the distance after the battle and wonder about what the future might be would have stuck with us. Hell, have them move into a shitty flat together and try and sort out their lives would have. Have them with screaming nightmares and failed relationships and trying to get jobs in a society thatâs falling apart would have. Have them still trying to fix things in that society would have. Because we known Voldemort was just a symptom of the disease of prejudice the Wizarding World.
But donât push us off with an âall was wellâ. In a world about magic, JK Rowling finally broke our suspension of disbelief by having them all hit middle-class and middle-age contentment and expecting a fanbase of teenagers to accept it.
Also. Since when was âdonât worry kids, youâre going to turn out just like your parentsâ ever a happy ending? Does our generation even recognise marriage and money and jobs as the fulfillment of life anymore? Does our generation even recognise the Epilogueâs Golden Trio anymore?
tbh likeâŚ.i ainât mad at either soo or so
they were always destined to fall apart in this era
soo tried so so hard to make sure that she would help him, so that no one would have to suffer, so that he wouldnât have the legacy she heard of as a bloody monarch. she wanted him to be remembered as she saw him: a great king, and a good person. but once he became king and she became his âmistress,â as won puts it, she was inadvertently stripped of all the power she had in the palace as a court lady, and she was reduced to âsitting in her room, waiting for him to come home.â the intention was for her to become queen, but without the backing of a powerful family to support her, it became impossible. by the time so told her he would make her the second queen after she had a child, she was already broken. her best friend was killed because she was a traitor, spying on her and lying to her for years. not only that, but the one who ordered her death was the man she loved, and despite the fact that chae ryung was working against her the entire time she was in the palace and helped kill people she loved, soo is incredibly torn because she can still see in her a girl who was trying to help her family. then another friend of hers commits suicide. and then she is told that the reason the man she used to love became such a slimy, homicidal jackass was because of a warning she gave him, reminiscent of the previous king telling her he killed people in order to get the throne because she covered soâs scar.Â
at this point, hae soo feels not only like she doesnât have the power to save anyone, but like her influence on politics has had an active role in killing all the people sheâs worked so hard to save, people she loved deeply. no wonder she wants to leave - itâs not that she thinks so is a monster and wants to escape him, but rather sheâs gotten to the point where she hinders more than she helps, and her staying is fatal. and she canât take people she cares about dropping like flies anymore.
meanwhile so. so. so has his hands tied everywhere he turns. someone made this great post about how people have been abandoning him since the start of his reign. the military general. his mother. baek ah. now hae soo wants to leave too, the only person he has left. and to be honest, it would be better for his reign if he let her leave, because every move he makes he thinks of her, and, as we saw with his marriage situation, he would doom himself if it meant staying by her side. but he loves her far too much to ever let her go. the only thing that finally gets him, that really makes him let her leave, is finding out about wook. and i donât think itâs a jealousy thing - he knew years ago she had loved one of his brothers, and thereâs only so many to choose from. but the fact that itâs wook, âof all people why does it have to be himâ wook, breaks him. not because itâs his brother. because heâs the man who plotted the death of his oldest brother, who used chae ryung as a spy and made her a traitor (with the assistance of won), who was ready to shoot yo with an arrow like he was hunting something, who threatened him using hae soo and collaborated with his family to make his sister take sooâs place at soâs side, who used his smart brain to rally the noble families, who looked so in the eye and said ânothing is yours, itâs all mine.â itâs not that hae soo loved someone besides him ever in her life, itâs that she was ready to marry someone who at every turn tried to tear him down and their family down, a manipulative murderous snake, and despite that part of her still cared for him enough to beg for his life.
he feels like she never loved him, âwook was always in your heart,â like it was all just some scheme wook was planning or a way to hurt him using what he cared about most. so he lets her go, because he feels like sheâs âthrowing him away,â or, even worse, that she never cared about him to begin with. at least not as much as the guy who killed his family and hers.
and itâs tragic. and heartbreaking. and i really canât blame either one of them.
caminimm.
I was wondering if you knew any tender poems about friendship? if not, that's totally cool!! :)
â[First full moon of a new and final decade]â by June Jordan
âPoem Read At Joan Mitchellâsâ by Frank OâHara
âOde to Elliott Smith, Ending in the First Snowfall of 2003â by Hanif Abdurraqib (he once said that Frank OâHaraâs friendship poems/the way he casually mentioned his friends by name in his poems was something that meant a lot to him and I love how you can see in this poem that he did the same)
âThe Orangeâ by Wendy Cope
âScrambled Eggs and Whiskeyâ by Hayden Carruths
âacknowledgementsâ by Danez Smith
(if youâve noticed that in all these poems thereâs a deliberate use of their friendsâ names and specific references itâs because itâs something I find very heartwarming. theyâre not writing poems about something meant to be relatable theyâre just writing because they love their friends and that makes me ! inside)
