oh my fucking god THANK YOU! these are literally my exact thoughts?! do you have any idea how hard it is to find fanfic that doesn't bash ron but is anti hermione? i don't hat her either and can sometimes enjoy her character but i get tired of the same thing over and over where ron is an evil bastard and hermione is everything good and pure in the world.
percy is the best hp character full stop.
I have several posts about my issues with the twins but it mostly boils down to them almost killing a classmate for a stupid reason and send him into catatonia.
love this post!
What harry potter characters do you love but have no problem with people bashing? and what characters can you not stand being bashed?
Hello anon!
Aight, let’s get to work:
Harry Potter himself:
He can be painfully stupid a lot of the times, but gets bursts of intelligence every once in a while cause of plot reasons, can be quite insensitive, and can be pretty arrogant.
Hermione Granger:
She acts morally superior just because she reads more than others, she’s judgemental, close-minded, bitchy, and can do some EXTREMELY fucked up things. I think of her as completely grey when her character gets looked at objectively, because—unfortunately due to Harry being Mr. POV and Hermione being Rowling’s self-insert—many horrifying things she’s done get glossed over.
Draco Malfoy:
I do love him (he’s my 2nd favourite HP character) but there’s no denying that he was a blood-prejudiced bully who deserved a punch in the face, and I 100% understand why people dislike/hate him. I only like anti Draco content when it’s from Snape fans, other fans can be too much sometimes.
Ginny Weasley:
She was an absolute bitch in HBP! The way she treated Ron and Fleur made me wanna throat-punch her. Throughout HBP, she was horrible to him about both his insecurities with Quidditch and his insecurities with relationship experience—even when Ron was being overprotective when he saw her making out with Dean, he definitely did not deserve that.
Remus Lupin:
Remus and I… we have an odd relationship. I love Remus. I do… I really really do… but the things he does sometimes make me want to go “NYAHHHHHHHHHHHH” every time I reread the series. Most of his fans overlook his flaws, which is incredibly disappointing because I find his complexity and flaws extremely fascinating… that’s literally why I loved him in the first place. Even when criticising him, his fans still tend to gloss over the negative aspect(s) of his character. Unfortunately, I’m on the anti side when it comes to him, I only interact with his fans if they’re Remadora (and a lot of the times Prongsfoot) shippers.
I’m not gonna bash him or explain anymore cause it’s actually his birthday today and I only just remembered it a few minutes ago. I was actually planning on making an anti post about him today but then I remembered it was his birthday today and I just can’t do it. I love him too much to do that.😭😭 So yeah, you guys are gonna have to wait a few more days until I make an anti post about Remus, sorry not sorry.
Fred and George:
They were cruel bullies a lot of the times. Their flaws get overlooked by a majority of this fandom and they’re seen as harmless pranksters, which is rather irritating. They tried to lock Percy in cursed pyramid, which I’m pretty sure can count as attempted murder, and they gave Ron arachnophobia. The twins show a blatant disregard for people’s safety and well-being a lot of the times.
I’m gonna stop here and just say that: I’m alright with almost all HP characters being criticised and sometimes bashed. Every single HP character is problematic—besides Luna and Neville. There’s nothing wrong with pointing out their flaws. Over exaggerating their flaws? Yes, that’s wrong. But merely pointing them out? Nope.
Ron Weasley:
Most of the things he did that he gets bashed for are completely normal for a teenager. I mean… making an ass of yourself during a party, getting mad at your friend(s) over silly things, dating someone you aren’t really interested in because you like the attention, getting jealous, saying mindless things without thinking it through etc etc. Those are teenage mistakes. That’s common teenage boy idiocy. This fandom excuses Draco and the Marauders’ heinous acts by claiming that “they were just teenagers🥺” but when Ron does things that are 100% normal and are done many times in real life, he gets demonised for it. Make it make sense people!
Percy Weasley:
How. Fucking. DARE. YOU. What did he even do?? His family (besides Molly) was horrible to him! He never bothered anyone and no one in his family gave a shit about him except when Gred and Feorge (not a mistake) treated him like crap. He deeply cared about Ginny and Ron, and Arthur didn’t even try to make things better despite them literally working at the same place. Let’s not forget that no one besides Molly bothered contacting him for years… and when there was a war going on. Upsetting Molly is literally the ONLY bad thing he ever did, other than that he never did nothing wrong.
Tom Riddle Sr:
He. Literally. Did. Nothing. Wrong. You guys are demonising him… because he “abandoned” his RAPIST? His R-A-P-I-S-T? Is this fandom fucking ill? He had every right to leave his son and Merope, he was raped… repeatedly… for months. The victim can never be blamed for not wanting to face the reminder of their trauma for the rest of their lives. He was kind to Cecelia and comforted her when she was shocked by Morfin’s dead snake. And the only people he was ever rude to were the Gaunts and they were pretty much insane. One called him “filthy” and one hexed him.
Have a nice day, anon!
AHHHHHHH yay this is amazing!!!!!

“I can’t calm down!” Stiles screeched, loudly, as he whirled around in a flailing circle.
I'm writing a magical au where stiles has a horde of hornets as his familiar! I LOVE this idea and I am so excited to expand on it and keep writing it!
I’m looking for some more podcasts to listen to.
I’ve recalling liked The Magnus Archives, Welcome to Night Vale, Malevolent, Wolf 359, and a couple others, and I’m looking for more. I like ones with overarching plots, if that makes sense? Any recommendations? Thanks!

We as an a society are not the ready for the moment Husk calls Angel by his real name.
'He looks like Brad Pitt's sexy uncle!' 😭 JOHN PLEASE
accidental luisa madrigal fanart 🤣 wasn't my intention but honestly look like her if she wore a shorter skirt and had straighter hair since this is my most anatomically correct person so far, i'll take it!!!
Based on an idea @thediktatortot and I workshopped in the tags of this post. Enjoy Tommy, Steve, Eddie and Billy being trapped in a room together!
Part 2 here!
*
The world was hell bent on making Steve Harrington suffer. He was sure of it, dead-set, knew it in his soul.
Why else would he have gotten trapped in the high school teacher’s lounge with Eddie Munson, Tommy Hagan, and Billy Hargrove of all people?
“–you didn’t skip gym every fuckin’ year then maybe you could have kept up, freak.” Tommy hissed at Eddie, his teeth gritted as he leaned against the door a demodog was currently trying to knock down.
“Oh yeah cause tackle fucking football really prepares you for the goddamn apocalypse!” Eddie snarled back, marring the effect a little by tripping over his feet as he brought over a chair to prop against the door.
“Shut the fuck up!” Billy growled at them both, “‘M tryin’ to fuckin’ focus!”

You know when you're checking out a new fandom and you stumble across a writer/artist you loved in a previous fandom and it feels like running into a childhood friend at a bar
Yes! yes to all of this!
Percy is such a complicated character and such a good one andi find a lot of people dont understand that because in fandom he is mostly relegated to 'the annoying one'.
I don't understand how people can love and idolize the twins when all their page-time is of them playing cruel jokes and being basically the same person duplicated,
AND THEY ALMOST MURDERD GRAHAM MONTAGUE BY PUSHING HIM IN THE BROKEN VANISHING CABINET BC HE WAS GOING TO TAKE POINTS AND LAUGHING ABOUT IT WHEN HE REAPPEARED 4 MONTHS LATER CATATONIC AND TRAUMATIZED FOR BEING STUCK IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE AND HAVING TO APPARATE HIMSELF WITHOUT TRAINING OUT OF IT. He splinched himself and got lodged in a toilet because at that point he was brain damaged and you shouldn't be able to apparate within hogwarts He barely survived. He was unresponsive for months. And the twins never show remorse or turn themselves in for near-manslaughter or do anything but laugh.
Against that what has Percy done? This boy became Junior undersecretary to the minister at 18 and left because his family never tried to understand or even like him. He was young and disrespected and left. Wouldn't you do the same?
Percy rant because this blog needs more posts
Listen, Percy Weasley is a member of the Weasley family so as much as you dislike him atleast respect the fact that Percy exists because if you don't that is just insulting to the character to pretend he doesnt exist.
And if you do that you're as bad as the movies where Charlie wasn't there.
Next-
I think I resent the twins a little is because there is absolutely no character development shown. Apart from Gryffindor traits(brave, courageous, etc) and being funny, the twins wouldn't exist.
Notice how I say twins because there is absolutely no difference highlighted between them. They're both same or similar. All these differences are headcanons by fans. That's not what pisses me off the most.
The fact that there is no remorse or guilt for the pranks they play. There is no apology for sending Percy dung. No apology for catering to Ron's acronophobia. No apology for anything.
And when Percy comes back, Fred says he's a moron. Okay maybe that's brother talk but seriously?
There's no growth. They were immature when they were little and still immature at 20.
And then there's the whole leaving from school. I mean you are in your last year. All that is left are your exams but you make the reckless decision to leave immediately. After which there are no consequences of your actions. Your parents forgive you and all is well.
The twins never receive any punishment which obviously bolsters their confidence and they become more wild.
Percy is a good person and a good brother.
If someone insults you constantly and it's your own family who does so. Imagine
In your mail you receive animal dung.
You get trapped into a pyramid
You overhear your brother talking about how you're the worst person to their best friend
Your father laughs at you and doesn't show you respect.
Your father accuses you of betraying them
Your father tells you you got the promotion due to him and not from your hardwork
Your brothers take your things and ruin it constantly
Your brothers make fun of you in front of your boss
Your brothers and sister throw food at you
You have a special nickname known as git which is not used fondly
Your gf is in a coma and you overhear your brother making fun of her.
You are accused of being an accomplice to your boss's illegal work and are about to go to court for a trial and your family is not bothered.
So you're tired of the torture. You leave.
And besides your mother noone tries to contact you.
Why should Percy return?
Let me make this very clear:
They weren't even worried about him DURING A WAR?????
So when I say Percy shouldn't have to apologise first I mean it.
Another thing
People who believe Percy left his family over a promotion.
Did you not read how Arthur accused Percy of being a spy?
Did you not read how he was treated by the twins?
Did you just ignore how Ron talked about him?
Did you ignore the fact that they believed a villain supposed to be dead was alive?
The entire Magic community believed that Harry was lying?
Did you not read how everytime he talked people kept shutting him down?
Did you not read the way his Dad kept disrespecting him?
It wasn't about the job. It was about the lack of respect in the Burrow. It was about the way he was ignored. It was about the way he is made fun of for being different. It was about the fact that being quiet is wrong. It was about how being smart is wrong.
It was about how Percy didn't fit in the Burrow and noone bothered to comfort him about it.
Finally people who believe that Percy was responsible for the Chamber opening.
1 question -How ?????
How is Percy stopping Ginny from telling Harry about the diary equivalent to opening the Chamber?
People who believe this, I can't waste my time on yall. I seriously can't.
And the real ending-
People who hate that Percy is alive and Fred dead.
Listen you're allowed to have favourites. But hating someone because they lived instead of your favourite character is too much a stretch don't you think?
You can have your opinions. You can dislike Percy. All that I'm asking is that you find legitimate reasons to dislike him.
Don't hate him for surviving a war.
I'll just like to end this with:
I relate to Percy Weasley and I believe that he is one of the best complex side character written and we should appreciate him more.
Hozier b like "hey girl what if the ceaseless battle between unconquerable suffering (as a consequence of existence), and the indomitable human spirit, was just. in ur earphones. What if the constant tug of war between the limitlessness of love and inevitability of heartache was literally injected into u via sound. Like. just playing in ur ears for an hour. Take my hand. Let's take a stroll through hell, baby :) wouldn't that be gre- why are you crying"
"now which of version of angel dust will be the object of your affection?"
Porn version:
Husk: nah
Flirty version:
Husk: nope
Horny version:
Husk: absolutely not.
Covered in blood, holding multiple machine guns with a black eye, and so much confidence:
Husk: HELLO SAILOR
