10 Fanfictions that Characterised Rose Weasley Better than the Cursed Child

1. Four Times Rose Weasley Woke Up In Places Other Than Her Bed - Maybe the best Rose Weasley written out there (take notes Jack Thorne). Rose’s narration is absolutely brilliant due to her relativity and funniness. There are so many embarrassing things she does and you just cringe for her. And I am happy that the writer did not write her as a perfect human who is beautiful and poised all the time. Despite this, Rose IS a very endearing person although she pretends to be tough around Scorpius. She is definitely her own person and her love life doesn't define her as she is focused on her career and dreams. And can we appreciate badass Rose Weasley kicking ass in the Quidditch field? Yes please!

2. This Is(n't) Acting - This fan fiction is so beautiful (SOBS). I think one of the reasons why the relationship is so beautiful is because Rose brings the best out of Scorpius. She was extremely awkward, but had a kind and caring heart. While she was self-conscious, she also seemed to value herself and didn't let anyone treat her like shit. One of the reasons why I loved Rose was because she was imperfect. She had heaps of embarrassing moments, can be impulsive, had a temper and made plenty of mistakes. Nonetheless, her affectionate nature and character development is enough for you to fall in love with her, very much like Scorpius did.

3. Solitary Confinement - You must be wondering...why am I putting a smut fan fiction on this list? Other than this being one of the best Scorose smut fan fictions ever, Rose’s character was full of energy and spark. She is passionate, she is courageous and she is not afraid to get what she wants (intimate time with Scorpius). Under her feisty attitude, she has a compassionate heart and does what she thinks is right, despite the consequences. She won't sit back and see Muggles suffering. I appreciated her sense of justice, which is a trait that she would undoubtedly have.

4. The Thing (that is by no means a relationship) - One thing I like about Rose in Graeliars’ stories is that she is very blunt and direct with people and her own internal monologues. Which provides so much comedy and makes you appreciate her character. She is incredibly authentic, vivacious, adventurous and kind-hearted. These are all the qualities Rose would undoubtedly have. I also love the relationship she has with Scorpius! It is so sweet and fluffy (with smut)

5. Adverse Side Effects - Ugh, this story gives me all the feels!! This story is from Scorpius’ point of view so you see how he falls for Rose over the course of the story. One thing that is for certain is that Rose’s loving nature, bravery and kindness is positively influencing Scorpius’ life. She definitely has Hermione’s intelligent, dedicated and sensible nature as well as Ron’s wisecracking humour and loyalty. She treats everyone around her with kindness, is dedicated and she is sassy as hell.  The dialogue between Scorpius and Rose is some of the best I’ve ever read as well (and the story is romantic as hell too)

6. One of the Boys - Yes, Rose is “not like other girls” here. While I am not fond of this trope, Rose’s character retained energy and charisma nonetheless. I really liked the male friendships she had as it provided enough banter and laughter. Despite that she was a tomboy, she had relatively good relationships with her female cousins, which I liked. She also learns to appreciate femininity in some regard and pleased herself. I am sick of fanfictions where Rose is Hermione’s clone and has none of Ron’s characteristics. In this fan fiction, she was definitely Ron’s daughter as she was funny and was not afraid to let loose.

7. Before Malfoy Had It Going -  (The author of the story deleted bot of her stories but she said she was planning on updating them. So I linked her profile @weasleykingrocks )The prequel to Malfoy's Got It Going (so when she was a teenager). I think she is the perfect combination of Ron and Hermione. She is funny, loves Quidditch and is sarcastic whilst being a perfectionist and overachiever. One thing I appreciated is Rose’s constant need to live up to her parents. Yes, Ron and Hermione are awesome, but it would be hard for their daughter being compared to their hero status. Thus, you feel awful for her as she is drowning in negativity and self-doubt. Her relationship with Albus and Scorpius is special, as you could see her imperfections and love for others. 

8. Malfoy’s Got It Going - Rose is the perfect combination of Ron and Hermione. She is friendly and charming, but is stern and tough when life is difficult. She is funny and playful but she is emotional and hot-tempered. She is intelligent and sweet, but she can be argumentative and judgemental. One thing that the writer was able to pull off well was her charisma and why many of the people around her were drawn to her. She has a heart of gold and her relationship with Scorpius and Albus is beautifully written. Despite this, Rose is not morally perfect and is capable of doing awful things. As we see, she does certain things that are definitely problematic, which allows character development.

9. Art and Alchemy - @languidbones In most Scorose fan fictions, Rose is written as a popular, sassy and fierce Gryffindor who intensely plays Quidditch and studies all the time. Rose in this fan fiction is completely different from anything I've ever read. She’s a quirky Hufflepuff who has no interest in studying or Quidditch and spends all her free time painting. I’ve become so comfortable with Gryffindor Rose who is academically competitive, a Quidditch star and has a feisty personality. This Rose is absolutely adorable, creative, endearing and she will make your heart melt. 

10. Bouquet of Scandals - @languidbones Believe me when I tell you that this fan fiction has made me laugh, cry, gush, smile, scream and everything in between. Partly because of Rose’s fascinating and unique character. She has her undivided attention to magical creatures, her pygmy puff and classical music. She isn’t interested in studying, Quidditch, or dating, until she spends time with Scorpius. The fan fiction is utterly beautiful and captivating, with a Rose Weasley who is so loveable and you don’t question why half the boys in her school fall in love with her. It’s best if you just jump to it and read the whole thing. I hope the author writes more!

someone needs to make a fanfic where instead of standing to the side and sulking albus just decides to go full on in with his efforts for scorpius.

Homie would be throwing pianos on people fr

WAIT WAIT i need to say something and idk how it’ll be received amongst the masses but I NEED TO SAY IT

albus pov fanfics >> scorp pov fanfics

whyyyy do you ask? because of the 👏gold👏tier👏PINING👏 i want to see that boy sufferrrrr in his feelings. i want this guy to be screaming crying ripping his hair out. put this boy in the trenches and i will gobble that shit up. and i seriously genuinely dont want it to be scorpius because i honestly think scorpius is too swaggy to be as fucking crazy as albus would be LET ME TELL YOU.

albus with his crippling ego stopping him from actively pursuing scorpius more but the fucking second resident-hogwarts-icon polly chapman and her gang of gossips and side bitches start noticing scorpius albus stops fucking around fr. the fucking notebooks are coming out. he’s drawing up plans and shit (they’re all pretty bad because all of albus’ braincells literally come from scorp and rose who he can’t use). he’s getting together an elite squad (his crusty siblings). he’s doing the fucking RESEARCH (reading jane austen and trying to understand how to seduce someone). he’s ringing up his mama and getting her to send tutorials to him on how to bat-bogey a motherfucker so when he sees those grade-A-menaces pulling up on scorpius it is ON SIGHT.

plus he’s a fucking fourteen year old like what kind of gay confidence-crippled fourteen year old in love with their bsf is not going to be delulu?

Why do people give Harry more Black family storylines than Draco?!

It's hard being a Draco fan...well a canon Draco fan. If you want great fics that explore his character, you have to deal with a bunch of Drarry and sometimes Dramione. That's not even factoring in how OOC Draco is in so many of these fics. That's why I partly gave up on Drarry fics. It's almost impossible to find a good Draco fic that does not involve him shagging someone in the golden trio.

But this post was inspired by posts by Snaters and/or Dumbles antis who claim Harry should have named his son after Regulus. Here are my grievances:

There needs to be more exploration of DRACO as the Black heir

I don't know how Siri was able to keep his fortune when he was supposedly disowned but it's very frustrating seeing fics where Harry is the Black heir and becomes Lord Black. Just stop and think for a moment. Draco is literally the only pureblood Black offspring left! The Black line is basically extinct! And if you factor in Drastoria, Draco was willing to let his maternal AND paternal lines fade away! The only time Draco's Black heritage seems to be brought up is in fics where abusive Lucius disowns him. It's just sad. Harry is NOT a Black! As much as I love Godfather!Sirius, part of me is disgusted that Harry inherited Grimmauld's place. That house should belong to Narcissa and Draco and I don't care if I am the only one on this hill.

More Regulus & Draco, please!

People seem to prefer to write a relationship with Reggie and Harry. Which makes a bit of sense...but wouldn't it be more interesting to explore Draco & Reggie?? Draco and Regulus are family and they share quite a few similarities. I have seen some fics where Narcissa is so protective of DE!Draco because she sees him as a second chance after she failed Reggie. Or I have seen some fics where Regulus lives but so many of those center on Harry and Draco is lucky to be an afterthought. Why is Draco so divorced from his Black family? There's hardly any exploration with Draco & Sirius either. I don't even recall Draco expressing any feelings about Sirius as a family member in book 3 when the dude is his cousin! Draco, Harry's rival, is related to his beloved godfather and NOTHING is done with this! Like WTH!!!

The positive side!

At least there are incredible fics out there that explore Draco's relationship with Andy and the Tonks family. I love Dora being Draco's surrogate big sister 🤩. So cute!!! I also like the Tonks family being involved in Draco's redemption and Ted being so fatherly towards Draco. Chef's kiss. Please, let Draco interact with his family 😞! Why is JKR so against Draco having a family?! Even his damn wife dies in CC!!! He only has one kid! Please, give this man an extended family!

no one talks about how much it fucks you up to be depressed from such a young age. people look back on their childhoods so fondly but you never had that. even when nothing was materially going wrong. being eight years old and terrified of everything, of death, of spiders, of your mom leaving. being nine and sobbing to your parents about how no one wants to be friends with you. being ten and finally getting friends but something is off, something is wrong, something is making you feel like you have nothing ahead of you. being eleven and everything feels like you’re looking at it through a pane of glass, like you’re miles away from everyone and everything else. being twelve and writing in your diary about how you think there’s something wrong with you, you’re slouching through life, this is the only time in your life you’ve never been excited for your birthday. and then you turn thirteen and just shut down. fourteen and your body is covered in cuts and wounds. fifteen and having panic attacks almost once a week. sixteen and laying in bed for hours every day. and it just keeps going. and people talk about their childhoods like they grew up and the color got sucked out of their life, and you realize you’ve been in grayscale this whole time. you barely remember how to feel anything else.

Harry Potter & shallow worldbuilding

I probably shouldn't wade into these waters, but once again, I am demonstrating that my self-preservation instincts are poor, and that my family refuse to listen to my rants anymore. [TW: Harry Potter and all that entails].

I was a little confused when I saw the trailer for Hogwarts Legacy (source of ire for me, and many many other people).  I had thought that it was supposed to be set in Victorian England, but honestly, it looked a lot like it was still set in the 1990s (or the early 2000s, the films never came down on exact dates).  Perhaps this is because the movies - upon which all subsequent media has based its design - relied heavily on Victorian and early 20th century design elements.  Think Hogwarts' gothic architecture; the ministry's early London Underground tiles; and the entire interior of Grimmauld Place.  This wasn't in any way a bad thing.  Harry Potter, as a story, made good on a sense of whimsy and old British aesthetics.  The wizarding world, having no need of technology, would not modernise its aesthetics at the same rate as the non-magical world.  It was a design choice that was of great consternation to my mother.  We went to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, she whispered to me 'why do they have wheelie suitcases?  I thought this was set in the 1930s?'

It makes me wonder now, why doesn't the world in Hogwarts Legacy look much different to its predecessor?  I suppose that they are wearing vaguely Victorian clothes, but shouldn't we be looking at some 1700s aesthetics, or is the wizarding world caught in a perpetual loop of Victoriana?

Truth is, the Harry Potter universe has fallen foul of the problem that irks most fantasy universes once they are analysed for too long.  It isn't logically coherent.  Like the history of Westeros, the history of the wizarding world repeats itself perpetually, never looking or behaving especially differently.  In a series of children's books that were focused on the life of one teen, the cracks didn't show.  Sure, Voldemort was in power twice, and before him there was Grindelwald (for all intents and purposes, Voldemort but European).

J.K. Rowling's world building is fine for what it was in the beginning (again, the life of one teen in Britain), or as fine as it could be.  The world was not greatly expansive, but it didn't need to be.  The best parts of it were whimsical and extensions of the cheerier side of Britain.  There was the Knight bus, a purple routemaster.  The entrance to the Ministry of Magic was inside a red phone box, one of the great symbols of British tourism.  The primary setting was a boarding school.  One of the most popular elements is the house system, which is just a more complicated extension of your average school house system.  It is touted as a categorisation of identity, but it obeys all the rules of school houses.  Siblings going into different houses is rare (to the point that it's only mentioned once) because family groups always go into the same house (unless your school just doesn't care about houses).  The bigotry in the series is also British by design.  It ends up being a simplified version of classism, that features more in subtext than text.  This being said, there isn't a great deal of specificity in the world building.  I still don't know where Hermione's home town is.  I only know that her parents are dentists and they like to ski.  Where does Malfoy live, apart from in a manor that has peacocks in the garden?  These are the kind of flaws you notice when you have analysed the story for as long as I have.

The worldbuilding gets thinner the more expansive it gets.  The students from Beauxbatons are more or less French stereotypes, Fleur especially.  Durmstrang is the same, but Bulgarian.  Much has already been said on Rowling's shallow naming conventions (Cho Chang, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and now Sirona Ryan).  Without the crutch of something being British and vaguely quaint, the world loses all of its charm, and all of its logic.

Fantastic Beasts, for some reason, begins in 1920s New York.  Most of the richness of the setting is achieved by production design rather than the script (incidentally, flashbacks set in Hogwarts still manage to look like it's the early 2000s).  Conflict in the story is wrought from an American government that is more anti-muggle than the British equivalent.  If it is allegorical in any way, I do not understand it.  But let's not pretend Rowling's allegory has ever been any good.  Claims that Lupin's lycanthropy was a metaphor for HIV and AIDs only serve to lessen the character.  At best, it's an allegory for general prejudice.  The assertion that Lupin, at the age of six, was attacked by Greyback with the express intention of passing on AIDs, is well, it's dicey.  Rowling might have intended to create an allegory for stigma around 'blood-borne conditions', but failed to consider the extra baggage that that allegory might entail.  

The same is true for Fantastic Beasts, where the nonsense is turned up to twenty.  There's a group of muggles who somehow know about the existence of magic.  They name themselves after Salem, despite the Salem witch trials being appropriate for neither this setting nor this geographic region.  Any commentary on the nature of the Salem witch trials is hardly a commentary on the nature of America at large, but rather a commentary on a single Puritan colony.  Rowling takes pieces of Native American culture for her lore, with no understanding of the cultural legacy at play.

It gets even weirder in the sequels, which zip through countries so fast there's barely any time for worldbuilding.  There's a circus!  Why!  I don't know.

For no reason at all, there's a deer that chooses the outcome of an election.  In a baffling moment, Grindelwald (as played by font of virtue, Johnny Depp) tells a group of wizards that they have to kill muggles because they are going to start a world war.  He is wizarding Hitler, and that isn't a subtle analogy.  In that same scene, Queenie Goldstein, a character heavily coded as Jewish, joins wizard Hitler because he promises her that she will be able to marry her muggle beau.  The man that just gave a speech about killing muggles, is apparently all for marriage equality!  By all means, it doesn't make any sense.  It’s far from being respectful either.

There are of course attempts to make the wizarding world more diverse in Fantastic Beasts, but without any attempt to make these characters more genuine.  There's an Asian woman, but she's Voldemort's snake and she's going to be beheaded by Neville in a few decades.  The second film has Zoe Kravitz!  Yay!  But she's part of a needlessly convoluted tale in which a powerful white man hypnotises a black woman to be his wife, and then she dies?  I don't know what to make of that.  It's not good representation, and by gum it isn't good storytelling!  The Fantastic Beasts trilogy has all the perspective of Emily in Paris.

Hogwarts Legacy can hardly improve upon this worldbuilding, because it comes from an unstable foundation.  I might have been more understanding had the game been set in say, not Hogwarts, or even a Hogwarts that was fundamentally different from the Hogwarts that we already know.  The worldbuilding remains as shallow as it ever was, and with all the bigotry retained.  Of course, the main story is based on a piece of anti-semitic folklore, expanded upon in the books, and even more so in the game.  The problem being that Hogwarts Legacy can only make sales based on nostalgia.  It can't be that different from the world of the novels, because no one is bold enough to alter the world and alienate people who want nothing more than to experience their childhoods all over again.  As such, the shallow worldbuilding is laid bare over and over again, to the point that it is no longer a setting in service of a series of novels.  It now has to be a real, coherent world, which it fails at.  We have to examine the nature of Hogwarts houses, and the mechanics of time turners (thank you Cursed Child), and the reasons why house elves don't want their freedom.  

They'll never get freedom anyhow, because Hermione's attempts at activism are used for comedy.  The world at the end of Deathly Hallows is not greatly different to the world at the beginning.  Voldemort is dead, but we are not assured of any big changes.  The world returns to what it was.  For all that The Legend of Korra may not have lived up to its predecessor, it made an effective attempt at showing that the world had been altered by the actions of our heroes.  In the Cursed Child, nothing is different.  The story spends all of its time looking to the past and imagining increasingly unlikely alternate timelines (Cedric turns evil?  Ron marries Padma Patil?).  Hogwarts Legacy does not set up the world of Harry Potter, nor does it fundamentally alter it.  The status quo is preserved.  Like Westeros, it cannot change. The new game does nothing with the world, and acts in its detriment.  Anyhow, it’s not a good work of fantasy.  J.K. Rowling loves the status quo.   That much is evident.  Don’t buy this game!  Support trans people instead.

it feels unfair, in a way insulting how easy turkish seems to be to learn for many people by watching dramas. while they get to learn a language so enjoyably, associating it with positive feelings, i'm left to study my mother tongue that was forcibly pushed out of my mouth for turkish to settle in. the only home it found in me were my ears, mostly through my father's speech. and i fear that my mouth will never be hospitable for kurdish. i'm never able to talk turkish with this immense guilt sitting in my throat

Maybe I'll do a similar post like that about Harry Potter someday. But probably not. It'd probably just devolve into me shitting on Rowling for being a transphobic bigoted shithead. Easy enough to just say that like this.

How do you think Delphi felt about Narcissa?

I think she could possibly be the only person she could hate more than Harry

Dear Anon, I fear I cannot really answer this question with lots of stone-cold canon facts, simply because Delphi's characterization is so lacking. It makes so little sense it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

First of all, people have to understand that Delphi is a minor character in a play. This in itself means that she would have little psychological complexity, even if the play were the best written ever (which it is certainly not). The play would have had to be entirely about her to do her justice, especially since she is a new character in a world of extremely complex ones, and has to be built from the ground up.

With this being said, if we were to take at face value what is written on the page, and how she is characterized there, yes, Narcissa probably would qualify as the person she hated the most. I've read CC a long time ago, but I seem to recall that Delphi only seems obsessed with her father, only naming her mother once. We don't know how she would have felt about her (and some explicitly characterize Delphi with a big Oedipus complex in fanfiction, or in open competition with her mother as the Dark Lord's "favourite", which I cannot really judge as unrealistic because, again, we don't know anything about her) so I will not presume that she would punish Narcissa for betraying Bellatrix.

What seems absurd to me is that during the play we are never informed of Lucius and Narcissa's death in extremely suspicious circumstances. We know she was powerful, we know she can be sneaky, Lucius and Cissy aren't in their prime... I don't know why she wouldn't exact revenge on them for betraying her father and causing his death. We know that she was born at Malfoy Manor "shortly before the Battle of Hogwarts", whatever that means, and Euphemia Rowle only took her in because she was offered gold. Whose gold?! Rodolphus'? There is no way minister Shacklebolt didn't seize the assets of the Lestrange family after the second fall of the Dark Lord seeing as, this time around, He had made enemies of the goblins as well. So it had to be the Malfoys'. Draco was also home for the Easter holidays in 1998 and I have no idea how they hid his baby cousin from him but whatever. But Lucius and Narcissa must have known.

This raises some very chilling questions. Narcissa might have hated Bellatrix at this point, Lucius and Draco felt even less love for her, and all three loathed the Dark Lord - but would they go as far as to abandon an innocent child? Maybe. It shocks me, seeing how protective they are of each other, but maybe that's just for immediate family. Just imagine how Lucius and Narcissa's trial at the end of the war would have gone if they had been found harbouring the Dark Lord's child. Also, all three of them were present at the end of the Battle of Hogwarts and I doubt they just allowed them to leave. The one that did disapparate away was Rodolphus (since most Death Eaters fled) and at this point, it seems reasonable he kidnapped the baby and brought her to Rowle for her own protection. Alright, fine. But did Narcissa really never visit her? Assure herself that the girl was happy and healthy? No, she just threw money at her and kept her out of her mind. That is cause for resentment enough for me, and I wish that it had been highlighted more in the actual play.

You see, the thing that I hated most about Delphi wasn't that she was evil. It was that she was evil for no reason at all. It says on her wiki that she inherited traits from her parents and that she was "cruel, sadistic, violent, manipulative, dominant, obsessive and cunning (it can also be said that she was talented and intelligent.) However, she had also inherited both her parents' explosive temper, blowing up whenever things didn't go her way." - First of all, already the fact that her only positive traits are in parentheses irritates me because it truly shows the black and white approach this play had to all its characters, coming from an author who had previously written that "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters, we all have both light and dark inside of ourselves, what matters is the part we choose to act on". This play basically tells us: "Delphi is evil because her parents were Voldemort and Bellatrix, who were evil". Now. I call bullshit on this. Science is still divided on this, but most of the time we inherit traits from our parents because of nurture, not nature. Evil isn't always born, it's made. And even when it is born, we always have the capacity to choose something different.

Delphi never knew her parents. How is it possible that she was so much like them? Was it because she grew up allegedly abuse and, in any case, loveless? Fine, but say it. Why does Harry mock her in the end? Why, when confronted with a young woman crying and desperate because she just wanted to meet her father and be with him, does he tell her off cruelly and basically say "you'll rot in Azkaban"? Where is the understanding, the compassion? Even before knowing that she's killed someone Harry's reaction to Voldemort having a daughter is "no, no, no". But why??? Voldemort's not around to teach her. And by the way, even though researching your parents and your origin is natural, she has nothing of Voldemort. She never met him. She doesn't know him. Who told her tales of his greatness? Euphemia? Rodolphus? It surely wasn't fucking Narcissa.

And by the way, what was Narcissa even thinking? If Rodolphus knew about the prophecy, why didn't she? (And don't even get me started on that joke of a prophecy itself). And if she did, why didn't she inform anyone? She certainly didn't want the return of the Dark Lord. Why didn't she raise her sister's child, teaching her love and morals, while telling her that yes, she did betray her parents, but only because they were bad people and murderers? FUCKING LIE, CISSY, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. Tell her that stupid lie that everyone believes, that Voldemort couldn't love and so he wouldn't love her. That Bellatrix never showed interest in her. When Rodolphus shows up, she's more likely to think he's mad. Or better yet, do the right thing and tell her the truth. And apologise. Pretend you're sad you orphaned this child, but that you did it for a greater cause.

But the thing is, the Malfoys didn't have a good cause. They never stopped believing in blood supremacy and they disliked Astoria because she taught Scorpius that Muggle-borns and purebloods weren't different. They didn't betray Voldemort because he was a psychopath, they did it to save their own skin. Which of course wouldn't bode well with Delphi.

Maybe the play should have emphasized that by allowing another child to grow up loveless and estranged, lonely and scorned by everyone, just as Tom Riddle had, they created another monster.

((Also, just an additional note but since the only thing that changed in the alternate timeline was Cedric killing Neville, who then couldn't kill Nagini in the Battle of Hogwarts, it stands to reason that they still betrayed Voldemort. So why is fucking Draco Head of Magical Law Enforcement? Voldemort would have killed him in front of Lucius and Narcissa to make them pay. Whatever.))

They treat her with contempt, all of them, and it's not just because she's a murderer. Harry and the gang hate her for being Voldemort's child, which is incredibly out of character for all of them. She kills an irrelevant character to give them enough justification to throw her into Azkaban, which makes no sense. Why didn't she stun him? "Well, because she thought she was going to permanently change the timeline anyway". That's no excuse! Another thing this play gets horribly wrong (not just with Delphi, but also Albus and Scorpius) is that, just because the deaths the characters cause get undone, doesn't mean they're not real. Those were real people. And killing a person in real life is not that easy. If that was Delphi's first murder (since there's no suggestion that it wasn't), it could have not been that easy. And Delphi was not a psychopath, so it doesn't make sense as to why she would do it so nonchalantly. She shows empathy during the play. She loves her father (maybe? or maybe is just obsessed by what he represents and by the life she could have lived? do you know? I DON'T BECAUSE SHE'S SO BADLY WRITTEN).

Anyways, I just realized that I wrote a horribly long post ranting about stuff you didn't even ask me about, so I'll just end it here. What I'll say is that we better take Delphi as a cookie-cut cartoon villain, whose parents are who they are because it adds to the shock value. Because if we start poking at the inconsistencies in her character and that of those surrounding her the extremely fragile logic on which The Cursed Child stands on starts crumbling. If we were to analyse her more deeply, we'd find that this is a poor girl whose only fault was being born in the wrong family and that her aunt Narcissa is the one who ruined her life, carelessly abandoning her and leaving her to a lonely childhood, possibly prey of wronged death eater's delusions of grandeur and "what-could-have-been-if"s. All because she couldn't love a child she made an orphan.

"fuck you my child is completly fine" no, you gave your kid an ed because they have had constant hunger there whole life and you have always shamed them, bulled them for being fat even though they are midsize and how their going to die fat, ugly and diabetic and tell them "its good to be hungary" so now they starve themsef and only eat when they are absolutly starving making it worse with the fact that they still struggle with constant hunger

jk rowling really RUINED her entire work, the characters and world she so carefully built for a fuckass play cash grab that 100% everyone had forgotten and gave zero shit about. cursed child needs to be burned page by page.

did you know you can tell if someone is not a nextgen-predominant fan just from the way they characterise and write james sirius potter? did you also know you can tell which among those people like snape and which like the marauders more? just from the way they write james sirius potter.

each time i think about the plot of the cursed child i feel an inexplicable rage fill me because it’s just so ridiculous… albus potter gets his hands on a time turner to “save the life of an innocent person who didn’t deserve to die” and is obsessed with saving a guy he didn’t know rather than… remus and tonks, the parents of his godbrother… or his uncle fred… or sirius… or his literal grandparents

The inherent tragedy of families btw. You get a child and it's the most precious little thing you have and you love it more than words can possibly describe and you are this child's entire world and you're trapped to it. You have to keep it safe and fed and happy for like twenty years and even after that you are tied to it. You can't escape it ever. If the work gets too tiring you can't give up. You have to not be a monster even when you're tired to death and angry and your child is annoying you constantly. It's just a kid, just a little someone. They don't deserve anything bad, they're not guilty of anything you feel. They did not choose to be there. You did. Or sometimes you didn't either.

my father, an absolute idiot, asked if I still write

Like yes I still write, and no you're not going to get to read it

Last time I allowed him to read anything of mine, a cars fanfic I wrote in 2017 that I was proud of, he said I cursed too much as if he hasn't said worse yelling at football games on the TV before

He's always been hypercritical about my writing which bothers the hell out of me because everything he's read I've CHOSEN to share with him and didn't have to share just to get fucking destroyed and give up writing whatever story it was he read so no, he lost that privilege. Plus the whole idea that he thinks fanfiction isn't real writing as if I haven't written fanfiction I've poured my whole soul into.

Oh yeah, and the fact that my main focus write now is a gay ship really probably wouldn't go over well either

Anyways it was really fucking nice to say to him that the reason he doesn't get to read my writing now or ever again is because he can't keep his Thoughts to himself so I can't trust him

Also he said my poetry was better than my fiction as if poetry ever dragged anything as lovely as the fucking ending to Present Mic's Totally Bullshit Life out of me like sir shut the fuck up and never tell me I'm better at poetry again, I haven't written poetry since I was forced to for creative writing class in high school

I never waste an opportunity to talk about Gwen Rowley’s trilogy. RIP to my editor but it’s tangent time.

Yaknow what? I'm changing a hc of mine in regards to Pierre-Jacques-Erneste, instead of the party knowing that he's from nobility straight away, that'd be something he would hide from everyone too. So instead, Pierre would introduce themself as a merchant's son.
