Doing Sketches Like This For 5 Dollars On My Ko Fi Rn, I Need Funds

As somebody who has struggled with mental health all of their life and still does, Jinx's romance with Ekko means the world to me.

I'm sick and tired of people considering mentally ill people just "not interested in love" or, on the other side, "not healthy enough to be loved". Which is utterly stupid. Ekko falling for Powder but clearly showing signs of wanting to learn more about Jinx and on his way to love her too, realizing that her damaged past and issues do change her but she's still his girl. It's brilliant writing.

He can't be a savior to her, because there's nothing to save. There's nothing to fix. The whole message Jayce gives with "there's beauty in imperfections" goes hand in hand with Powder's "sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind". Ekko goes from wanting to save her to wanting to see more of her and leaving Powder behind to know about Jinx. With Ekko loving Jinx nevertheless it shows that mentally ill people can be loved. And with Powder reciprocating and Jinx making amends with Ekko (with the romantic context behind already seen) it's breaking the whole stereotype of her being this "insane maniac with no remorse and unable to show love".

So I guess what I want to say is that their relationship would've worked in another universe, but I want to believe it could've worked in this one (with time), too.

It's a shame Harry never met anyone the Marauders bullied at school - the boy whose head they blew out (I couldn't find his full name, but he was Aubrey, I think?), the ones they cursed in the corridors out of boredom. Someone other than Snape that Harry (and the reader) is biased towards. Like someone from the Ministry or an Auror he had to deal with. Harry learns that this person went to school with his father and expects to hear praise, stories about how great James was at school, how cool he played Quidditch, what a hero he was, etc., but what he gets is something like:

"Oh, that motherfucker... Inflated my head like a balloon. I had to go to St. Mungo's after that! Do you see this scar? I got it from your father. He was a total asshole."

Words from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

me as a writer

Riley thinks she has anxiety now? Just wait until she stumbles upon a 100k+ word, mutual pining, slow-burn fanfiction. She'll be clutching her pillow and screaming into the void by chapter three.

The marauders stans in your comments are really something, huh?

["I personally care about Dorcas and Pandora. They interest me... I want to know what lead to Dorcas snapping and almost tearing apart everything Voldemort had built."]

Sorry, when did Dorcas did that?

"That's Dorcas Meadowes, Voldemort killed her personally..." - only thing said about her in the books, from the wiki.

They are inventing sh*t and pretending it is canon all the time. Voldypants personally killing this random woman doesn’t mean she was almost destroying what he build - we are talking about a madman here, he made a show of killing Charity, doesn’t mean that Charity was "tearing apart" what he build.

Exactly—that’s what happens when you shit all over canon: eventually people can’t even tell fiction from reality anymore. They blur everything together until nothing makes sense. Then you get someone trying to come for you, asking if you’ve even read the books or if you just watched the movies—and it’s like, mate, what are you even talking about? You clearly don’t know the characters you’re talking about, because half of them don’t even show up in the films!

It’s always the same story: people who don’t actually know the lore, the context, or the characters, they just hop on the latest trend and run with it.
