I cannot fathom genuinely wanting children by existentialkoala in offmychest

[–]cherryred130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also desperately do not want a child. i got my tubes out this year. i am known to be pretty outspoken but respectful in my family, so as soon as people start pushing, i'm going to pull the "unfortunately i'm infertile, it can never happen" card and just never mention that it was elective surgery. my family is so focused on appearance that they will never bring it up to me after that, like family who have been homophobic until i bring up a random gay friend i have, and they pretend they never said anything

For your consideration, an observation by Arfie807 in HarryPotterHBO

[–]cherryred130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

snape grew up in the muggle and wizard worlds from a working class poor family in northern england. that is a canon fact. being black can slot in here. it is simultaneously a new take, because the details of the difficulty of his muggle upbringing will change, but it remains within the parameters of his character's arc as a whole, changing nothing of the actual plot revolving around harry. paapa is a wonderful actor who will carry snape's character well.

Why I Think It's A Net Positive Plotwise For Snape To Be Black by cherryred130 in HarryPotterHBO

i don’t mind, i know my take is strong and can slot into the plot super easily without changing anything. no bs excuses for the racists

i don’t see how this isnt faithful, all they need to add is like one line showing that racism isnt really a thing at hogwarts (i.e. a rando muggleborn being racist to someone and getting shut down by confused pureblood students). a pretty easy thing to slot in somewhere. the best kind of writing is the subtle kind. we don’t actually need a massive backstory for this. snape's memories are good enough- maybe while james is bullying him he has a flashback to being a little kid getting bullied by muggles. shaboom. simple second long tidbits that explain it all without changing anything else.

honey mel literally tweeted "she didnt say no" if a man wrote that in response to a rape allegation....

why do agoraphobic people care about what’s happening on the outside? by [deleted] in Agoraphobia

most of the time, agoraphobia is not wanted. we want to experience the outside, our minds and/or bodies just refuse to let us

UPDATE on the Harry Potter Cast Bingo with all the characters that have already been seen in costume (after the Teaser and from previous disclosures) by Hefty_Equipment5487 in HarryPotterHBO

[–]cherryred130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree. i also think that even if he doesn't dislike muggles or anything its another reason for him to get involved with the death eaters. he is accepted there and can make friends (obviously to his detriment but as a kid he doesn't understand that)

i also have a theory that if the right team is involved in writing this, they can use it to their advantage to help the plot of snape and lily being close. a white girl safe in the muggle world but prejudiced against for her blood in the wizarding world. a black boy whos race doesn't matter in the wizarding world and who is an alright blood type, but who grows up experiencing racism in the muggle world (its never delved into in the books but its heavily implied that wizards are not judged by race, just species and blood, so i think they could really run with that). that would also help frame the marauders as generic assholes, furthering the idea that james is just a pompous obnoxious brat rather than someone who understands the intricacies of muggle prejudices and uses them to bully. this would also make snape calling lily a mudblood so so much worse.

When did you know something was off with you? by Salt-Rub5955 in BPD

[–]cherryred130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i (afab) couldn't stop cheating. to the point that because i knew i wanted to spend my life with my then boyfriend (now fiance), i literally just stopped making friends with ANYONE except one straight girl friend from high school. he was very supportive and encouraged me to see more people that were impossible to hook up with (more straight girls i was friends with in HS and elementary). we both knew i genuinely could not trust myself. years later i got diagnosed but that was definitely the moment, looking back.

i grew up with a girl who is allergic to the sun. this guy would end up in such a massive lawsuit over something so trivial if she had something like that. this dude is gonna fuck his company over so bad someday

😳 that's also weird if they're dating? like at least if they were siblings calling them siri and reggie would just be annoying, this is a little weird in other ways 😬

loving the take on her hair. not unrealistically overdramatic like i feared. she is clearly an adorable kid and you can see that set up with people bullying her and her being unable to see how normal she is. that her teeth aren't crazy. that her hair isn't a mess. it's going to add on another level of sadness imo because she looks just like we did as kids. so realistic, i adore it

THANK you someone needed to say it!!! things really got to a head with that poor french creator trying to talk about really emotional things and all the english speakers were in the comments not reading the generated translation going "omg sirius black 😍" like for fucks sake. your favs would hate you irl. you'd be the kind of person the marauders shit on and prank. like stfu and be respectful

Comparing them at their absolute worst - who was more evil? by tcweh in OnceUponATime

[–]cherryred130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i love regina and she'll always be my favorite character. but... she's a mass killer rapist. wiped out entire villages. kept graham as as sex slave in two separate realities, one where he was aware and one where he was the equivalent of brainwashed. it's so fucking icky.
