Because Kise has been bought and sold so many times in his life, he questions his worth.Ā It was with ease that his parents sold him to a brothel to repay their debts, and itās with ease that his owner sells Kiseās body to men night after night.
Fine silks begin to replace the rags he once wore, makeup accentuates the features men pay an increasing amount of money to see ruined, and sweet perfume masks the stench of those same depraved men.Ā Kiseās value amongst the courtesanās has gone from lowest to highest over timeāheās met numerous men both cruel and kind that have threatened or promised that they would take Kise away from the empty life he lives.Ā A long time ago, Kise stopped believing such things, because despite his company costing more than what an average man can pay⦠Kise is worthless.

Do. Not. Presume to know, how much I have suffered. Iāve suffered in hundreds of my lives. Iāve lived thousands of years filled with suffering. In my very first life I was a slave. An underage male sex-slave. I was taken from my homeland and family, when I was six. The first time a man touched me sexually was, when I was nine. The first time someone raped me I was ten. I died, when I was fourteen, because my master raped and whipped me to death. So do not assume, that your suffering is greater than mine. Never assume such a thing about anyone. You do not know their history, do not know their past.

Ready for an unpopular opinion?
Although, opinion isnāt really the best word for it, since itās actually a fact but JKR did such a great job romanticizing abusive/toxic people and relationships that very few people will like what I have to sayā¦
Molly Weasley is a bad mother.Ā
*GASP!*Ā
I know, I knowā¦Blasphemy, right? I can practically see my follow count going down as I type this. I mean how can this woman
Be considered anything other than a proud, loving matriarch?Ā
Well, letās start with the really obvious one:
Mid way through his first year of Hogwarts, Harry Potter - The Boy Who Doesnāt Notice Shit - can tell Fred and George apart, but their own mother canāt. I know plenty of twins and their parents know who is who.Ā
Now I know someone out there will try to defend this somehow and say that itās not THAT BIG of a deal, but tell that to a kid whose mother doesnāt acknowledge their individuality. Itās pretty damaging. And this is actually one of Mollyās minor offenses.Ā
Moving onā¦
Fred and George were legitimately geniuses, but never does Molly utter an ounce of praise for their accomplishments. In fact, she puts them down, insisting that the joke shop and all of their inventions are a waste of time. She only ever focuses on the fact that the boys tended to get themselves into trouble. She also completely disregards them as part of the family during OotP when Ron is made a prefect and she claims that thatāsĀ āeveryone in the family!ā to which the twins replyĀ āWhat are we? Next door neighbors?āĀ
Nice Molly. Good Parenting. How about the fact that your kids were TOO SMART for general academics, dropped out and started their own highly successful business when every other shop in town was closing? No? Not good enough for youā¦alrightā¦.
Fred and George arenāt the only victims of course. She nags Bill about his hair and his earring and, most importantly, his marriage to Fleur Delacour.Ā
Look, not all parents are going to be thrilled with who their child chooses to marry. My mom hates my soon-to-be-husband and, much like Molly Weasley, she canāt keep her irrelevant and completely unwarranted opinion to herself. And let me tell you something, itās very hurtful to have your own mother disregard the person who makes you happy and be blatantly rude to them every time they are forced to be in the same room.Ā
Then thereās Percyā¦Alright look, yes, Percy behaves like a little shit and eveyone has reason to be upset with the actions he takes against his own family butā¦can you blame him? Look at the chaos heās grown up in. He was offered a very good job for someone his age and of his stature and he got a little carried away. Molly didnāt have to agree with what he was doing, but her lack of ability to show any support for her children is what drove Percy to take it as far as he did. Forcing your beliefs onto your children DOESNāT WORK. You need to let them go out and make some bad decisions. They need to see things for themselves and the more you try to hold them back from doing so, the harder they are going to try to prove you wrong and that, in my opinion, is a big part of what happened to Percy Weasley.Ā
I could really go on and on about all the terrible ways Molly judged and refused to support her children, but I have too many other points to make so weāll just leave it at these major ones hereā¦
Itās not exactly news to anyone that Molly Weasley favors her youngest child and only daughter, Ginny, over everyone elseā¦especially Ron. Itās so bad that when the Horcrux talks to Ron in DH, it actually plays into the fact that Ronās biggest insecurity stems from being the LEAST LOVED by his mother, who craved a daughter. Basically Molly has seven kids because she kept trying and trying for a girl and never got one. By the time Ron came around, she was fed up and she didnāt even try to hide it. Ron often feels overshadowed by all of his siblings and then by his best friend who his mother ALSO treats better than she treats him.Ā
Until Percyās big no-no against his family with his position at the ministry, Percy was another child who was put upon a pedestal and used to compare her other children against. The twins were constantly told to āBe More Like Percyā and that she āNever had these problems with Percy!ā Ā
Sheās very hard on both Hermione and Harry as well, although sheās so overbearingly loving towards Harry that itās often over looked. However, weāll start with how she treats Hermioneā¦
After Rita Skeeter, who is well known for being less than truthful in her articles, writes a scandalous piece on an innocent fourteen year old Hermione and basically destroying the poor girlās first real romantic experience, Molly Weasley thinks its appropriate to basically throw her opinion on the matter in Hermioneās face by sending her a smaller chocolate egg than everyone else during easter, and by greeting her with very little enthusiasm the next time she saw her. It isnāt until Harry explains to her that he and Hermione were never involved that the grown woman warms up to her again.Ā
Ā Aaaaaaand Harryā¦.
Okayā¦.
I appreciate a lot of the things Molly did for Harry. She practically adopted him when he really had no one else and thatās great. I donāt want anyone to think that I believe Molly is a terrible person altogether, all I am doing with this rant - as I do with all of my rants - is make people think about these characters and see their flaws, when many readers only see the romanticized outer layer. That is what makes all of these characters SO GOOD. They are REAL. They are problematicā¦okayā¦.here we goā¦.
Molly puts her own kids and their needs aside to take care of Harry. Harry gets decent dress robes while Ron gets hideous, ratty hand me downs. Harry gets support and affection while the twins are brushed off to the side. And I understand that Harry needed that and good on Molly for stepping upā¦but she wasnāt good enough to her kids to warrant the amount she does for Harry.Ā
She also acts very entitled to Harry because of all she has done for him and gets a little jealous when the idea of another parental figure is brought up. I could give an entire rant dedicated to the way Molly treats Sirius, and one day I probably will but today is not that dayā¦itās justā¦.itās very badā¦
She undermines anyone elseās opinion on how to deal with Harryās involvement in the Order. Why? Well because sheās practically his mother and so she gets to decideā¦
Hereās the thing though, Harry isnāt just a kid who is interested in fighting against Voldemort, heās the center of everything that is going on and sheltering him from the facts is not going to help. Personally, Iām very against sheltering kids especially kids who are 15/16 years old and can comprehend a situation. Molly verbally attacks Sirius when she feels he is giving Harry too much information and accuses him of treating Harry as if heās Jamesā¦
Heās not treating Harry like James.Ā
Heās treating Harry like Harry. Heās treating Harry the way that James and Lily would have wanted him to be treated. He wasnāt going to give him every last little detail, he was only going to tell him as much as he needed to know. Why? Because Sirius knows that if he skirts around the truth, Harry will make his own conclusions and that may not end very wellā¦
in factā¦
it DOESNāT end well. Molly gets her way, Harry is kept in the dark about some pretty important details and all hell breaks loose in the department of mysteries.Ā
Harry deserved to be treated like more of an adult in particular situations. He had been through too much to keep him sheltered from the truth. Molly needs to back off.
These are just examples of her being a bad mother. As I said before, her behavior towards Sirius, her manipulative involvement in the relationship between Tonks and Remus and her complete inability to handle confrontation like an adult are all things that deserve their own separate rants.Ā
Ā I donāt hate Molly. I really donāt. I think she has so many amazing qualities that do redeem her, but sheās far from the Perfect Mother that the fandom sees her as.
Please donāt lynch me o_oĀ
