I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Sometimes I’m looking for something online - often “how to” articles - and I want to filter for - like - a website that was clearly built in 2010 at the latest, which may or may not have been updated since then, but contains a vast wealth of information on one topic, painstakingly organized by an unknown legend in the field with decades’ worth of experience.
I don’t want a listicle with a nice stolen picture in a slideshow format written by a content aggregator that God forgot. I want hand-drawn diagrams by some genius professor who doesn’t understand SEO at all, but understands making stir-fries or raising stick insects better than anyone else on this earth. I don’t know what search settings to put into Google to get this.

The internet allowing for independent works to become popular - a very cool thing, by the way - has, I believe, given rise to "disregard the canon and you're disrespecting the creator".
It would be weird to borrow your friend's OCs without asking, ship them however you want, and then post that work for others to see, right? It would be disrespectful to do that, and it could even upset your friend if they saw it.
When an independent creation gets popular, usually with a publicly accessible creator, the "this is my friend's OC" vibe sticks around.
They're not DC Comics, a faceless nebulous company who won't even see you shipping Batman and the Joker and has no feelings for you to hurt - they're Gooseworx, creator of The Amazing Digital Circus, a friend-like entity who might see you shipping their OCs and be upset by it (to my knowledge, they took on a "fan shipping has nothing to do with me" stance - they're just the example here).
These independent works are often people's first exposure to fandom, so they take this "the creator is a friend-like entity and their wishes must be respected" attitude into subsequent fandoms. Except many fandoms don't have accessible creators who can be reached for direct comment. More often than not, the only indication of the creator's wishes is the canon, and so the canon should be followed and anyone not following the canon is being disrespectful.
That's my theory, anyway.
Is it just me or is a bigger percentage of fandom now way too invested in what is and is not canon? There have always been people like that (the Harry/Hermione vs Ron/Hermione ship wars of the early 2000s, anyone?) but it seems much more widespread now. Mostly younger fans getting super hung up on ships being (or one day becoming) canon.
It's confusing to me because I have never once in my nearly 25 years of fandom experience cared about a ship being canon. It's totally irrelevant to my interest in the ship and its related fanworks. Fandom isn't here to adhere to canon. It never has been.

why aren't more people talking about ron fucking weasley and how AMAZING this boy is
this is the same guy who was so friendly to a complete stranger on a train said stranger decided to adopt him as his golden retriever bestie
this is the same guy who got into a fist fight at a quidditch match with fucking malfoy because neville got insulted
this is the same guy who was ready to sacrifice himself to a chess board so his friends could escape
this is the same guy who went to rescue his best friend from an abusive household in the middle of the night in his dad's illegally magicked flying car because he was WORRIED
this is the same guy who was ready to defend hermione's honor from a slur, barfed up slugs as a consequence, and had no fucking regrets
this is the same guy who was terrified of spiders but faced them anyway to get a chance to save his unconscious bestie in a coma
this is the same guy who was ready to fight tooth and nail for the people he loved at anytime
and i'm not even halfway through the series with this
#weasley IS our king#legitimately that is one incredible guy#I am a ron weasley stan for real#harry potter

The trend but Tomarry
(aka the DILF sugardaddy and his unhinged himbo sugarbaby)
Tom REALLY loves what he's seeing lol
Yes, Tom chose the snake tattoo for Harry
and yes, Tom also may or may not hinted Harry to do the nipple piercing
also yes, they fuck regularly, frequently, as in almost every day and night and everywhere you can or can not imagine

researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i'm delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it's designed to be as annoying as possible

I know that canonically he's a hand guy
I agree but can't think of a single canonical example for why I do
harry having an unhealthy obsession with Voldemort's feet is everything to me. I know that canonically he's a hand guy but Voldemort's feet deserve some love too and harry is so good at body worship
#i haven't read the books in a long long long time#i stan hand guy harry for sure though#he absolutely would stare at V's hands and progressively flush deeper and deeper (dw me too babe)#harrymort#harry potter#voldemort

Absolutely lose my mind when I come across a fic with a whole ass paragraph of ship tags that’s just Harry Potter/Every-Male-Character
I don’t read slut Harry personally but I’m glad he exists and I support him

Tom and Harry shopping for perfume in the next chapter of Sugar, Baby?:
“Duellists shouldn’t have to smell like roses,” Harry huffed.
“Unless they’re attending award ceremonies and after-parties,” Riddle countered.
Harry surveyed the glittering, dizzying array of perfumes that confronted him like an avalanche of rose-pink glass, rotating prisms with golden liquid inside them, and disgustingly sweet-smelling globes of what appeared to be molten diamonds. It was like he was in an alien world. He couldn’t comprehend any of this shit. Or why it was even important. “Can’t I just… win a tournament and skip the party?”
“No.” Riddle gave him a droll look. “What point is there in winning championships if you don’t capitalise on your fame?”
Harry frowned. “I’m not in it for the fame. I’m in it for the danger!” He clenched his fist theatrically, then added, “And the challenge. And the magic. Definitely the magic.”
“Don’t be naive. Those parties you hate are what can land you lucrative endorsements and advertising contracts. Not just for you,” Riddle stressed, when Harry opened his mouth to object, “but for causes important to you. Things that give your life meaning. Things that fulfill you. That make you happy.”
Riddle seemed to mean it sincerely. Though he could just be Slytherin-ing Harry into buying some perfume.
Harry went quiet. While he had fantasised about starting his own, Merrythought-like collection of rare duelling manuscripts and artefacts, he… did want to support Hermione’s reformation of House Elf rights. And Fred and George’s joke shop, once they graduated. And, most of all… most of all, a prep school for Muggleborns and halfbloods, and a non-competitive grants program for dirt-poor students and orphans, like him, who came from nothing and had nothing. He’d dreamt of doing that with his prize money for years, whenever he’d even thought about prize money at all.
Riddle’s eyes gleamed in satisfaction. “So you finally understand.”
Harry snapped back to awareness. “I still morally object,” he stated, “on principle, to smelling like—” he glanced at the nearest bottle’s label “—Petals on the Sea Breeze: A Floral Tropical Sunset.” He scoffed. “Petals? Really?”
“Would you prefer to smell like broom polish, lightning and fresh sweat?”
Harry perked up. “Yeah!”
Riddle sighed. “I was joking, Harry. There is no such fragrance.”
“Oh.”
Riddle inspected another bottle. “How about Cedar, Cardamom and Rain?”
“The hell does cardamom even smell like?”
“Like you,” Riddle said, eyes half-lidded. “Sweet.”
Harry gulped. “It’s… it’s probably just all the treacle tart I consume on a regular basis. That’s why… that’s where the sweetness is coming from. Not me.”
The corner of Riddle’s mouth ticked upwards, and he looked, for a moment, dangerously charmed. “Oh?” He tilted forward to press his nose against the corner of Harry’s jaw, his breath feather-light on Harry’s hair. “Hm. I disagree.”

Someone posted Cazador pics in a BG3 group I was in and was like "hear me out" and most of the comments were some variation of "Imagine romanticising abusers" or calling the OP an abuse apologist
That's not my flavour, but I don't think saying "damn this guy hot" about a FICTIONAL VILLAIN = "I think abuse is good, actually"
Does anyone even have fun in fandom anymore or is it just morality police olympics? Every new fandom I've tried to get into is like this

Teddy Lupin was raised by his grandmother, Andromeda TONKS. The woman who lost her husband, daughter and son-in-law in less than six months. Teddy was all she had left and people are here wanting to hand him off to a traumatised 17 year old.
#FACTS#Harry is part of Teddy’s life to varying degrees but Andromeda is never not involved#you can pry andromeda from my cold dead hands#harry potter#andromeda tonks
