The difference between 1/2 cup of rice and 1 cup of rice is like 18 cups of rice
Half a cup of rice: Yeah, I can eat this. Maybe have some leftover
One cup of rice: I can feed an entire town for months. The rice will taunt me in my sleep, forcing itself into every niche of life it can. There is only rice, now and forever.

“I’ll walk with you” is just an excuse to spend more time with someone before they go and that’s romantic as fuck
y'all be like “all draco wanted was to be loved and appreciated” but i remember he explicitly wanted muggleborns petrified, hagrid fired, harry expelled or killed multiple times and buckbeak’s head on a platter
And he was loved. Like, Draco was the most explicitly loved child outside of the Weasleys, in the whole darn books.
Fandom’s nice!Draco does not exist.
Seriously. Like, you know that one of the rhyming plot points in Deathly Hallows is Harry being saved by a mother’s love for her son twice, right? Lily’s love for Harry, and Narcissa’s love for Draco. Draco’s mother loved him enough to lie to the Dark Lord’s face.
Lucius’s love for Draco is essentially the driving force of Draco’s entire arc in book 6. Voldy sets Draco to kill Dumbledore to punish Lucius for his failure at the Ministry. This is explicitly stated in the text. Why? Because watching Draco suffer and fail is the worst thing that could happen to Lucius.
I read a fic once that described 11-year-old Draco Malfoy as “exactly what you would expect from a baseline male child if is doting adoring father was Darth Vader.” Draco’s problem doesn’t stem from not being loved; it stems from the fact that the people who love him are objectively terrible people.
We don’t actually have explicit evidence that Narcissa is terrible outside her participation in her family’s shunning of Andromeda. However, we don’t have any evidence that she isn’t terrible, either. We do have evidence that Lucius is terrible in his own right: he set up a little girl to be possessed for a year and then die in order to score points over a minor political opponent. Voldy didn’t put him up to that s***, that’s all Lucius.
This is a really uncomfortable story. We don’t want to think that someone as awful as Lucius could also be a good father who adores his son. So a lot of people rewrite the Malfoys into terrible parents as well as terrible human beings, and deprive Draco of his own history.
Look. I get it. You want to write Draco a redemption arc. We have a societal addiction to redemption arcs. At the same time, you understand that redeeming bullies is poisonous to victims. So you want to turn Draco into a victim himself. Don’t do that. It’s lazy.
I maintain that if you want to give Draco a painful and eloquent redemption arc, part of his struggle comes from the fact that he has to recognize that his doting parents, who love him very very much, are also horrible people. You know the racist uncle you block on Facebook? That’s Lucius Malfoy. Except if the racist uncle was actually like, murdered people. And also he’s the uncle who pulled quarters out of your ear and let you keep them when you were 7, except instead of a quarter he bought you an entire quidditch team. You really don’t think that’s a more difficult road to redemption than “poor Draco just wanted to be loved”?
I think the fact that Narcissa’s pretty much the wizarding world’s version of a Nazi sympathizer is evidence enough that she’s terrible.
Narcissa’s a terrible person because she let Lucius set up Ginny Weasley to be murdered.
In some fanfics Narcissa is like “oh no, those poor children, you can’t do that to them husband of mine, imagine if it was your son” but in canon that never happens. Ginny can die and she won’t bat an eye because as long as it’s not her own child she doesn’t care.
So yeah Narcissa is NOT a nice woman. Not at all.
Remember when Draco said if your wondering what that smell is a mudblood just walked in and she didn’t do shit? What a great person!
this is why it baffles me to see edits or meta about draco where he is labelled ‘misunderstood.’ he was every inch the cruel, bullying racist he presented himself to be. ‘misguided’ might be more appropriate, because it was it was his parents’ own attitudes that helped shape his behavior, but he was never misunderstood. with the malfoys, what you see is what you get. narcissa wouldn’t have given two shits about saving harry’s life if it hadn’t meant buying her time to find draco during the battle - harry knew this. he had seen draco in the castle earlier, but he had zero way of knowing if he was actually still alive at that point. he knew full well narcissa would act purely in her and her family’s own best interests, and he used that to his advantage.
It keeps on getting better!!!!
The malfoys are a bunch of self preserving, bigoted gits but they LOVE each other. To the point of not giving a shit about literally anything else. Oh and I love this post.
terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.
#humans live life as a story#it doesn’t have real endings and beginnings so we make them ourselves#we need them to make sense of things
lately i been haunted by the phrase
'the axe forgets but the tree will always remember' because
for my whole life i been the tree but
i lie awake at night terrified, horrified, wondering
how many times have i been the axe and
forgotten

South Korean beauty standards take shit to the next. Fucking. Level. Women are evaluated in totality based on every minor physical detail and whether it matches the ideal to the point where their decision to go under the knife for procedures the likes of blepharoplasty (surgery on their eyelids) is a main determinant of whether they get a job. For them, shit like this is an expectation. Fuck that garbage, burn it up ladies.
In Korea you are literally REQUIRED to have a headshot with your application. Your physical appearance is a major vetting point in the interview. Applicants have literally been told to bleach their skin for jobs. Seoul is the plastic surgery capital of the world.
This is HUGE for them. Support them. Even if you love makeup, their beauty culture is TOXIC. Support this movement
GO GIRLS GO
