For me the point of season 6's final was that Fiona finally chose change. If it was in season 1 before all of her character development, she would choose her emotions, she would pick the chaos that life with a drug addict will get her. But she didn't. She was in in love with Sean and she still chose to break all contact with him after knowing he's back on drugs. Yes, of course the disappointment caused by his betrayal took part in her decision, but the main symbolism was showing she was not that girl anymore. She didn't want another Frank, she wanted to make something of herself, to be better.

He is an addict and if we follow the fictional logic in the entire series, him relapsing was not something as evil as it was portrayed in this particular situation. So she leaving him didn't really ruin his character – it gave Fiona's character development more depth without crippling him.

Maybe I just like Sean a lot so I'm too biased but I personally don't think this arrival in s8ep4 was either natural or necessary.

Firstly, it was made clear that his child is a massive priority of his. After it was leaked in front of Will that Sean is using again, his mother wouldn't be so happy to leave her child with his drug using dad. So, may be too much of a speculation of course, but the things we know about Sean show us he'll do his best to get clean again so he can see his son. His priority would be to not get emotionally invested with anyone so it doesn't mess with his rehab. And if he gets a girlfriend, I think the period of him being in love with Fiona, possibly losing his child, getting clean again, finding a new person, falling in love again, marrying and going back to his ex to apologize all in the span of a year and some months feels a bit unnatural and unbelievable. Another thing is that he consistently showed care towards Fiona's emotions so showing up that selfishly to tell her he's married and using her for his rehab journey doesn't really go well with his character in my opinion. And even if all of this happened despite my concerns, why was his arrival necessary? It didn't give anything to the plot, it just ruined an interesting complex character by making him act like he proposes to every woman in his life. It made it seem like the connection between him and Fiona wasn't that special or important, which makes their break up less valuable. Kind of ruined the great concept of her choosing herself over the destructive choices we make for love.

Thoughts?

The Hary Potter franchise became a popculture phenomenon in the past two and a half decades. The most popular books of the century, whatever you want to call it. It has great value as a fiction and I can't help but to say that I'm extremely disappointed in the fandom that I've been apart of for approximately half my life. Every good fiction that is as widely available is turned to a massive perversion and I hate it with all my heart and soul. Can you just write and draw your disgusting porn using another names, it doesn'tmake any sense to use well-written characters that have nothing to do with your porn story for your pedophilia fantasies? Can't you just use (sigh but I have to say her name) Rowling's universe, credit her for that, and use another names? Why on Earth would you show an ACTOR (A REAL PERSON?) a fanfic about the character that he played many years ago being the MASTER OF A YOUNG GIRL WHO HAPPENS TO BE PLAYED BY A FRIEND OF HIS? Can we stop normalizing that because it's not and it shouldn't be normal?

I don't even want to start with the marauders fandom (at least in tiktok) and what it turned into. It started with snupin, jily, blackinnon. Why the fuck would Barty be with Rosier? Why on Earth would Sirius and Snape date ever? I know y'all want representation but you really think Regulus is trans? There's absolutely ZERO indication he ever felt uncomfortable in his body. You really think Sirius, borderline insane Sirius, bitter and bad ass as fuck, riding motorcycles, bullying and humiliating racists, biggest rebel in the series, has naked women on the wall Sirius would be the cutie patootie, dresses in a skirt overfeminine guy? Headcanons are cool when you don't have enough information and decide to fill the gaps on your own, not to absolutely dismiss everything. At this point you are not trying to develop their story but you are making up absolutely different people. You just use the names. You abounded the idea you started for - that you love the characters and would like to know more about them, that you see qualities you admire or find interesting in them. It ruins the whole concept. Years ago, it was fun to fill the gaps, to write what you think'd happen in their era but now it feels like it's out of control and not in a good way.

Throwback to "Owl Post Again", the last chapter in "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban".

“And the dementors?” said Dumbledore. “They’ll be removed from the school, I trust?”

“Oh yes, they’ll have to go,” said Fudge, running his fingers distractedly through his hair. “Never dreamed they’d attempt to administer the Kiss on an innocent boy. . . . Completely out of control . . . no, I’ll have them packed off back to Azkaban tonight. . . . Perhaps we should think about dragons at the school entrance. . . .”
