but have you ever had someone leave a comment with a paragraph-long review of your fanfic containing genuine praise, thorough criticism, and an in-depth analysis of all the lore hints you dropped that you spent ages intricately crafting
Hello
Hello! đź‘‹
GOOD NEWS: you just discovered magic. BAD NEWS: you specifically just discovered magic, there's nobody more experienced who can explain how to clean up the mess.
Being a queer Christian is like being attacked from all perspectives. Like, yes, historically Christians are terrible, but I'm still queer. I'm still trans. I'm still me.
I understand that Christians are quite rude, but I'm not them. I'm faithful, or, I try to be. I'm very sorry that religion has hurt you, it is supposed to be safe, loving, caring, not harmful, and people have tarnished it, and yes, for that I'm sorry. But I'm still queer.
I constantly have to defend my faith, explain everything, and STILL get told I'm not a true Christian.
I constantly have to defend my own transness, my own gayness, and I'm still told I'm not truly trans, not truly gay. I am.
I have spent MONTHS begging for God to change me, even though it wasn't a mistake, nothing to change. I have questioned everything, been put in so much danger from BOTH sides.
People LOVE to DM me, come up to me, harass me, asking me private questions to "change me". Hell, it gets blamed on my own traumas.
I am gay. I am Christian. I'm also trans. I'm not going anywhere, so deal with it and stop attacking me for just existing.
Starprincechaser except it's James and Sirius competing for Severus and Severus could not care less.
Sirius is constantly walking him to class, giving unsolicited answers to tests and such (that are also probably wrong), handing him a jacket whenever it's cold out, etc.
James glares at Sirius while this happens, doing the same the next day (probably different favors), and every day, they meet up with each other and are both like, "hah! I'm his favorite now!"
Meanwhile Severus is so confused, probably staring at a wall, questioning all of his life choices.
Some idiot: "Why are you reading your own fic, that's shallow and stupid"
All fanfic writers and writers everywhere: "Who the fuck do you think I wrote it for?!"
god this scene i haven’t written would be so emotional if it came with 50k words of context i also haven’t written
Snape literally sexually assaulted him, and it even classified as sexual torture, look up the definition for that one. Bullied him, and literally for no reason, which is stated.
He even basically tried to murder him, he could've easily killed him with the prank.
But sure, James is no abuser at ALL! He's the most innocent guy out there, perfect.
Every time someone calls james Potter an 'abuser' to Snape I lose more faith in humanity
I don't ship Harrymort or tomarry, I just don't really like proships, but if that's your tea, go for it.
What I would like to see more of though is Voldemort realizing Harry's a horcrux so he's just like "Guess I'm a dad now??" And just like, adopts him?
Bonus points if it's around the age of six or seven
SUPER bonus points if there's hurt/comfort w/ happy ending.
Super duper bonus points if Voldy loses his mind against the Dursleys.
Severitus where Harry is deeply hurt/affected by Severus' strict/old-fashioned/etc parenting styles.
Severus is always portrayed as strict, sometimes bordering on straight up abusive, but then because he's better than the Dursleys, readers and authors alike tend to agree that it's okay. (IF THAT'S WHAT YOU LIKE, THAT'S FINE SO LONG AS THERE'S A DISCLAIMER.)
But arguably, most often, his tactics are rather harsh. Maybe he's firm on the whole open door policies, or washing mouths out with soap, I've seen a lot with spanking as well, but there's never any after effect, so make there be one.
Oh, he washed his mouth out with soap? Now he's scared to talk.
Spanked? He doesn't see the difference, frankly I don't either, though, so I don't have much to offer here.
No door policy? He feels watched.
Whatever you decide, there should be a point of realization that this is harmful. However that decided though differs.
Make Harry write an essay about Scary Things, and instead of writing about something normal, he writes about how he's terrified of messing up.
Maybe Severus discovers a diary.
Or, and something that I find worked with their personalities, is a massive fight. Harry messed up, and now Severus is threatening whatever, and Harry loses it. "I want to go back to the Dursleys, because at least I know they're cruel, with you it's a mix up."
It's so angsty, om nom nom nom.
Baby Harry, like 1-3 MAYBE 4. Point is, he's really young, Voldemort isn't back, and Severus had been tasked with watching over him. He constantly says he hates watching over the baby, says he doesn't want to at all, says he feels nothing for the boy.
Of course, being a spy, he has to attend death eater meetings. Per say one of the members found out about Harry, and now to "prove his loyalty" he has to bring him in. He thinks it's going to be fine, maybe a couple of harsh words, but nothing bad.
He's mistaken (of course) and has to watch as Harry is mistreated. Up to you to decide HOW mistreated. Maybe it's a couple of slaps, I prefer crucio.
Extra angst if Severus is 'invited' to join, and has to harm Harry.
Idk what I'm doing. MCU, Harry Potter, wtv else I want? 1# most basic man to have ever existed.
