RIP those who don't remember/know this and tried to google it.
If I had a nickel for every big name Harry Potter fanfic writer who started their own cult, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
the fact that they actually put so much effort into the details of The Bear actually makes me want to go eat glass--it's so good it's so subtle.
The fact that Richie only ever wears trackpants, "The Beef" merch, and one (1) leather jacket throughout the ENTIRE show, the fact that Carmy and Sydney wear the same brand of clogs, the fact that Richie and Carmy smoke the same kinds of cigarettes the fact that Sydney and Carmy both have the single digit passwords on their phone the fact that Marcus is constantly wearing teh same clothes bc he's sleeping at the restaurant the fact that Carmy owns one (1) jacket and hat aside from his work uniform.
The fact that richie clearly has the money for better clothes (that perfectly tailored suit during the date) but that the only other character (I can remember) that wears exclusively The Beef merch was Mike. The fact that COVID is brought up as being a rough enough time that Richie had to start dealing coke in the alley to make ends meet the fact that Carmy's apartment is filled with cookbooks and that Sydney's favorite meal was made by Carmy and that Carmy calls everyone Chef because that's a French Laundry concept (you don't use sir, or ma'am, you use "Chef" while working in the kitchen--even for the dishwashers--because you are working together in a ktichen and every member of the staff no matter how insignificant seeming is vital to your food production).
The fact that both Carmy and Syd eat Marcus' doughnuts off the floor and silently clearly enjoy them and that it's not even barely brought up just shown to us--or the fact that Carmy's apology to Sydney and Marcus is clearly such a struggle for him but he grits his teeth and they both understand that and appreciate it without a word and he respects the fact that they're still upset with him and that it's deserved.
It's the clear love for cooks vs chefs, the fact that the staff of the Beef have to learn to work with Carmy and Syd's strategies but that Carmy and Syd also have to take pages from them, the fact that all these characters are assholes but taht each of them have reasons and are completely understandable if you just look a little deeper just--
ITS REALLY GOOD OK??
Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
Dean and Cas are getting married today. They’re both very nervous.
“what are you reading?”
“its a…online book.”
Loving Harry Potter is not equal to agreeing with JK and her beliefs.
Look, I understand it is difficult to separate Harry Potter from JK, and to some extent you shouldn’t, because it’s important to acknowledge the racism and homophobia in there and the connection to an actively anti-trans person. However telling people that engaging in the Harry Potter fandom is being actively anti-trans and a red flag is just wrong. Should we do everything in our power to keep money away from her, absolutely, but to stop engaging with her works altogether is not a solution, villainizing those who do care about her works really isn’t one either. Especially because this approach is actively stripping people of sometimes their entire body of interest and childhood, which is incredibly hurtful, and should not be necessary. I understand it’s different because JK is alive and speaking these opinions now, but if this was the case with everything, there is almost nothing older than 5 years old that we could ever engage with. If you need to step away from the fandom and anything related to it that is your choice, but do not expect other people to do that same thing just because you consider it necessary. My life would not have been what it is if not for Harry Potter, and that doesn’t mean I’m not doing my best to approach and deal with it carefully, but I will not let JK’s bullshit opinions completely ruin something so important to me, and I should not have to. I also will not be told it means that I share those opinions for doing so.
Oh thank fkn god they are better😭. Whatever it was I really hope they make past it🥲🥲🥲.
me playing any video game: *does not touch the block button at all throughout the game*
God i miss 2014 fandom era tumblr. Life was so shit but i read so many books and watched so many shows and fell in love with so many characters. I would stay awake at night listening to music and imagining love scenes or fight scenes or recreating whole novels with me as the main character, and I know we look back at that time and think it's cringe, but it was an escape from reality that I desperately needed back then, and I havent been able to recreate that since.
Man, I wish I was a part of peak SuperWhoLock cause that shit was amazing.... seeing the posts on Pinterest makes me sooo sad that I missed out on that golden period.
