No U Didn't Come Off As Rude. Yeah I Know He Played Bcj, But That Was Not My Point Tho.

something that irks me about some draco fanfics is making his parents abusive, that makes absolutely no sense. lucius and narcissa love their son so much, there is nothing in canon that alludes to abuse. even draco's childish tendency to tell everything to his father is a very strong sign that they have a good relationship. even i who, personally, have an 'okay' relationship with my father dont tell him everything that happens to me, i dont trust him enough for that. but draco does.

narcissa made a unbreakable vow to make sure her son is protected in school in hbp, she gives her son her wand (something wizards dont do lightly) after harry takes his, she lies to the dark lord in appreciation for harry confirming that her son is alive and went straight to look for him with lucius (both unarmed i should say).

and lucius, who is a strict father i will not deny that, but compared to harry's uncle, an actual abuser, he's wonderful. he gives draco everything he wants, and not in a "take this and shut up" way, but in a rich aristocratic parent who spoils their child way. he treats draco with respects and talks to him like he would talk to a peer, he trusts draco to know things about his job, plans and prospects. he is only seen being rude to draco when the subject of the conversation is hermione, someone lucius naturally looks down upon, beating draco's grade. he makes draco's life so easy and that is a privilege very few characters in this universe have and its not something bad inherently, he was born with this privilege, and he will make sure his son grows up the same way.

you like it or not the malfoy's are very close-knit, even if they aren't exactly weasley levels of close-knit, they still love and take care of each other. yes they are prejudiced, yes they are war criminals, yes they have no morals, but at least they do everything to protect each other.

and now back to the fanon part. i think most authors do this to humanize draco and make him and harry (bc i only read drarry fics so if this happens also in other draco ships let me know) have more in common. i think the best way to humanize and redeem draco is not by making him a victim of abuse, the lazy way of saying "see! thats why hes like that", but making him realize that everything he once believed was wrong and actively work towards becoming a better person.

edit bc i remembered something related to this: lucius and narcissa love each other also!!! so sick and tired of fics writing their marrige as failed or that they're only married for convenience. narcissa DOES NOT deserve to hear you say those things about her marriage when she went through hell and back to save lucius's name from the GUTTER more than enough times. and lucius "but cissy" malfoy respects and loves his wife so much that he puts up with her crazy family and does. not. complain. keep my parents names out of your mouth!

The only reason why I like the canon marauders more because I'm so sick of seeing the same, overused tropes in every single relationships being included and sugarcoating the crimes of some morally questionable characters. We often ignore the real faults and flaws of the characters because we refuse to like any character who has very complex morals and often engages with acts that are not socially acceptable but somehow, they are still a good person inside at the end of the day. As if it's impossible to not lean toward a single path. I think we just want to see perfection in every character, we refuse to acknowledge their flaws and try to misinterpret it in order to fit our own narratives because in real life everyone seeks some sort of validation from others in order to be a good person. Then, we become disappointed because they are actually not as perfect as we thought they were in our made up imaginations about them. Nobody can ever be perfect. And you don't need to change a character's whole personality and morals in order to be queer. Queer peoples are normal humans too, and we all have flaws inside of us which we hide because they are depicted as shameful.

ppl be posting shit like "I miss canon Marauders"

Babes, there is no "canon" Marauders. Most of the shit ya'll think is canon, are just old headcanons that used to be widespread before other (usually queerer) headcanons gained popularity.

There is so little information about the "canon" Marauders - and even the info we have cannot be trusted because it's usually memories, influenced by a character's bias - that trying to make a somewhat comprehensive character out of the given material is impossible, let alone 4 characters.

Everything is fanon. Everything is headcanon. And that's the beauty of this fandom.

(Ofc my favourite part is when something actually is canon via the books or movies, and people reject it as fanon.)

have y’all ever read that something that, as you’re still reading it, you know that no matter how amazing it is you will never be able to read it again?

because that’s how i feel about secrets and masks right now.

I have to say this before going mad:

SIRIUS BLACK IS TALL! TALLER THAN ANY OF THE MARAUDERS AND THE ONLY MARAUDERS WHO WAS DESCRIBED TO BE TALL.

Harry says Sirius was tall, not Lupin. IF HE WAS SHORTER THAN REMUS, HE WOULD HAVE SAY HE WAS SHORTER.

Thank you.

Sorry for the aggressive tone.

Finally he got someone to match his freak lmfao

Just saw a headcanon where Lily dies during the attack instead of James and Regulus doesn't drown in the cave and then later on wolfstar raises Harry with Regulus and forces him to wear " hazel contact lens" so that Harry can look like James because apparently Harry has his "mother's eyes." And then Jeg*lus raises Harry together while depicting Lily being lesbian in heaven .......

Yeah my day couldn't get any worse...out of all the things they could've come up with....I wanna bang my head against the wall rn bye.
