all vibes no plot

fandoms: marauders/HP, the bear, ASOIAF & whatever else strikes my fancy this is an unserious place

read my work on AO3

I’ve scarcely felt that way regarding any work. The story itself is genius. The allegory for rape? Genius. The characterization? One of the most human depictions of characters I have ever had the privilege to read. And I read a lot! Themes of the utmost importance have been transmitted to me, new perspectives have been made possible. I am in shock. Absolute shock. I urge you to keep writing, because I am determined to read any work you publish. It is my duty, a form of thanks for the epiphany that took place soon after the last chapter you uploaded. I am compelled to talk and defend this story forever, to sit around waiting for another chapter, like a starving man waiting for sustenance, nothing else will satisfy him in the meantime! I love you. I love you. I love you. Thank you (siriusly.) xx

oh wow, thank you very much! i've read this through a few times now and am not sure what to say, really. i think i get a lot of imposter syndrome when i get messages like this because i find myself and my writing frustratingly limited and lacking. still, i have always made an effort to be transparent in my writing, and have used BF as a rather ugly outlet for all my ugly accoutrements: childhood stuff and anger stuff and family stuff and feeling explicitly, intrinsically outcast, and digesting social class politics as a child in a rigid system I didn't ask to be in, etc etc. i will never cease to be surprised and awed to hear that someone out there connects with BF because i wrote it as an angst dump, and posted it with a very "fuck it we ball nobody will notice this because the fandom is so crowded with hogwarts fics that im safe to post this bs" mentality.

thanks for tagging me @wannabelilybriscoe!!! my may has been kinda boring. my fav pic from this month is the ~skull sale~ sign. buy one get one free!!

also happy pride!!!

haha I'm sorry to be boring but I didn't reblog that with a specific post in mind. I reblogged that as a general eye roll towards some general attitudes in fandom.

I honestly think most of my "unpopular" head canons actually are written into Brave Face. Some examples of which might be:

- Walburga is a complex character and is just as much a victim of Black family power structures as Sirius

- Sirius is mean. He's quite a capable bully and sometimes enjoys being mean for the laugh

- Remus' "bite" has the potential to represent a parallel to CSA

- Reg is not a cinnamon roll. He is a fascist who believes in Voldemort's cause lol

- Barty Crouch is blond and nothing more than a father wound in a trenchcoat
