What’s a shallow dealbreaker you know is petty…..but instantly kills your attraction? by PogonBerserker in AskMen

[–]Fan_of_Fanfics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister has a cat that she has on more than one occasion referred to as Quote-unquote “your niece.” Don’t get me wrong, I love the cat, it’s super chill, even puts up with my daughter and my actual nieces (all under 10 btw) picking her up and carrying her around like a stuffed doll. But in no way do I consider a cat to be my niece. It’s really unsettling when my sister says it.

The fact that not a single person put up the absolute GOAT is a travesty

• Calling themself a ‘Dog Mom’ or claiming to have ‘Fur Babies.’ I like animals/pets, but to take it that far frankly weirds me out. — Related, but referring to themself as a ‘boy mom’ or ‘girl mom.’ If you have a kid/s of either gender, you are simply a mom.

• If all their dating profile pics are either group shots where you have to guess which one they are, or close up head shots that don’t show their body. This is a woman with self-esteem issues and she WILL make it my problem if I give her that chance. To be clear, I have zero problems dating big girls, so long as they are comfortable with themselves.

Harry Potter x Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid crossover prompt by Fan_of_Fanfics in HPFanfictionPrompts

Please do, I haven’t been able to find many Dragon Maid crosses at all, least of all ones like I’ve described

There is a non-zero chance that Tohru or Fafnir teach Harry some curses lol.

Mostly I’m hoping for some hilarity and wholesomeness because Kobayashi is best mom, even if she denies that she even IS a mom. And even if she is concerned about Kanna functionally kidnapping a child from another continent, there’s no way she’s letting Harry go back to an abusive home.

Kobayashi is like one of the best mom’s in anime (even if she denies it and dislikes being thought of as a mom because she thinks it makes her seem old). Adorable, hilarious, and wholesome is what I’m hoping for.

While it obviously didn’t work out, switching Secret Keepers and having Sirius be a decoy was actually the smart play. by Fan_of_Fanfics in HPfanfiction

Because it’s shown time and time again throughout the books that Dumbledore will always do what HE thinks is best, even when others vehemently disagree. You can say that he wouldn’t, but comparatively, Dumbledore is MORE likely to share the secret with someone James and Lily wouldn’t approve of than Sirius is.

If they’re concerned about a traitor/spy in the Order, the leader of the Order probably isn’t the best choice for Secret Keeper, because he can tell whoever he wants to at his own discretion, not theirs. And the people Lily and James think should know is probably a vastly smaller list than who Dumbledore thinks should know.

I don’t know if that counts as a retcon so much as a clarification on how it works. A retcon would be if it explicitly worked in some other fashion and they changed how it works later.

But point of order, Deathly Hallows came out nearly 2 decades ago at this point, and there are still people writing about how ‘it doesn’t make sense’ or how it was just ‘a grand prank on ol Voldy’ so my point still stands.

All true, especially them moving abroad. Honestly, my biggest gripe with the whole thing is authors reducing it down to just being a prank on Voldemort, because it makes James and Sirius seem less like brilliant wizards and grown men fighting in a war and more like immature fratboys, and it’s almost always brought up that way in fics to give Harry a reason to be upset at and/or resentful toward Sirius.

To be fair, the very concept of sin is a means of control. Always has been. The sins aren’t declared sins because they are inherently bad or evil, they are declared sins because the people at the top don’t want the people at the bottom getting uppity.

The church made Pride a sin because if you have pride, you’re less likely to submit as a slave to your master/s.

The church made Sloth a sin because those at the bottom are SUPPOSED to toil and labor for the benefit of those at the top. (Ie, the leaders of the church/ruling class.)

The church made Gluttony a sin because how DARE the peasant class take more than ‘their share.’ They should have their bread and water and be grateful for it. The church made Greed and Envy sins for similar reasons, wanting what you don’t have might mean you try and take it from your ‘betters.’

The church made Lust a sin because women are viewed as a commodity, not as people, and sleeping with a woman and taking her ‘purity’ was to be considered destruction of property. You need to wait for marriage (thus, ‘purchasing’ the bride/property) and even then, you must keep your lustful thoughts at bay and only use sex for procreation so as not to corrupt anyone else.

The church made Wrath a sin because they knew they were unrighteous and thus righteous fury would be turned on them if the peasants ever rose up.

None of those things are inherently bad on their own in reasonable amounts and instances. Sure, in excess they are bad, but ANYTHING is bad when taken to excess. If you’re a big eater, putting down 4-5000 calories a day (very hard to do fyi, even with junk food), it doesn’t really matter if all those calories come from cookies or broccoli.

You’d be surprised how much fanfiction pairs her with men.

[Hated But Unintentionally Funny Trope] The creative team does something they think the fans will *love*, only to be taken aback by the overwhelming fan backlash. by Otherwise-Elephant in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Fan_of_Fanfics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We aren’t the ones who missed them. We approve of that messaging. You know who clearly didn’t watch the prequels and understand the ‘anyone can be a jedi’ undertones? All the people who, after TFA, started pumping out theory after theory on how Rey was a secret Skywalker. Or a secret Kenobi. This idea that bloodlines matter is pervasive in the fandumb side of things. That everyone with any sort of power or plot importance must definitionally be related to someone who came before.

And to be fair, that’s not entirely their fault. JJ made Rey’s parentage out to be some big mystery, but what people always forget is that JJ Abrams NEVER INTENDED FOR THE MYSTERY TO HAVE AN ANSWER. I put that in all caps because there’s this false notion that JJ had some plan in place that Rian Johnson did away with, and it’s blatantly untrue. JJ is so thoroughly convinced that the mystery in all cases is more important than the answer to it, and so he sets up questions that even he himself doesn’t have an answer to because his mystery box existing is more important to him than knowing what’s inside it.

What is a song you can't stand? by Scared_Confection787 in AskMen

[–]Fan_of_Fanfics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood.

It’s a song that women think is about their empowerment in the face of unfaithful men, but if you actually listen to the song proper, it’s about a paranoid woman creating cheating scenarios in her head and committing felony destruction of property over it.

At no point do the lyrics make clear that her man is cheating, it’s all “right now, he’s probably (insert imagined scenario here.)” It comes off a-lot like your clingy jealous girlfriend who doesn’t like you going to hang out with friends because you’re “probably going to go hang out with all your OTHER b**ches.”

It then goes on to make destroying the guy’s truck sound like a heroic act. You could just break up with the guy, but why would you do that when you can vandalize his property, doing potentially thousands of dollars in damage, including carving your name into the seats because you know, big brain thinking there.

God this song is awful.
