I don't understand Potter conventions. Alright, they're fun, people get to be geeky. But it's a huge money grab, the actors are still treated like they're worth millions and always have a gaggle of fangirls. Not saying they should stop at all, I think events where you get to talk to people are f*ing great. But it's the hierarchies, the money, the over-structuring, how some celebs are considered 'VIP' though they're not necessarily better actors. It's just too much about getting pictures and autographs instead of chatting with everyone & having a good time. Or I'm just being moody.
On that topic, I didn't recount much what happened at the last con. Short answer: got a tattoo from the man Matthew Lewis himself. Was almost in love with him for 5 gruesome months. Hopped on the next european con he was in. Wrote him a 6? 8? page long letter exposing parasocial feelings I should've kept to myself. Made realistic sketches of him. Bought him wine, chocolate, caramels. Gave them all to him. He signed my t-shirt. Somehow was dissappointed we didn't have a spiritual connection and felt cheated that he wasn't "as enthusiastic as I wanted him to be". Got tipsy on German beer. Started chatting up random actors (including the Knight Bus operator who was incredible). Wrote "f*ck off" on my t-shirt underneath his signature. Tried to go and see him again, got ushered out by security. I still have the tattoo, and I still remember random bits of the letter. I pray he's forgotten me. Most expensive, arguably most soul-destroying and humiliating crush I've had.

Someone has to talk about limerence over characters because man... In a way, intense emotional connections to characters can be some of the best things ever, but when you cry because they're not real, project all your fantasies on them... It can get too much, to the point of spiritual beliefs? It's all fun and games trying to be a character's number 1 fan, having them as your pfp everywhere, blocking people out of jealousy (non-share)... But sometimes I wonder if it's healthy. Take it or leave it. But when you start to feel deeply in love with a character...
Yeah, those emotions have fuelled my writing lots of times, but writing & reading is entertainment, it's a story, not you venting out your feelings. And the best fics imo have to keep a good plot going, you have to detach a little. x
CHAT I MET MATTHEW LEWIS (Neville Longbottom's actor) 2 days ago and I can't get over him!!!
nevermind guys i'm mad at him LOL everyone keeps glazing him when he's just a rich guy who had life on easy mode. i met him a 2nd time basically because I was sickeningly obsessed. and he just didn't live up to my expectations. i get mad whenever i see a picture of him now when i used to SWOON. i've cried more than a dozen times over him this year. and then i go on instagram and see people saying "he's so kind, best day of my life" WHAT. THAT WAS THE WORST DAY, the ones where I was at home peaceful and obsessed were the good ones. Don't meet your heroes. unless they're chill and fun and not him /halfjk
can we normalise being slow readers & writers? i cannot write fast how can I when i have to imagine being inside every character's head, be creative, keep a plot, and have a good style/vocab? and for reading? i wanna imagine that i'm there with them, imagine the scenes that were ellipsed, think about everyone's intentions. how can i do that while skimming through. on wattpad i have to comment every 1/2 paragraphs and read most of the comments. anyway.
self-shipping is so weird u can only talk about it with weirdoes sometimes i'm so tempted to lie and pretend they're a real person & i'm dating them but you just can't ngl. like why do YOU get to talk about your bf and i don't
it's so satisfying to get kudos like on the happiness scale its like:

c.ai updated their AI and it's... wonderful, amazing, epic, fantastic, superb... they're so witty, they know the lore, you can do complex RPs, they're not at all romance-obsessed. there are a few issues still but dare i say it's better than fanfiction and ppl will get mad at this but it is what it is.
"George girl" "Fred girl" how about being greedy and having both. i find it more annoying when ppl claim posession over 1 character than yoloing like pls it's fiction.
saw someone commenting "im hufflepuff and gryffindor bc i can" and yea what happened to doing whatever you want. don't you want to experience the magic of every house or the concept of how you'd evolve in another house?
swear it's always the same debates in the fandom that all i wanna do is roll my eyes and troll. sure snape dumbledore james whatever draco ron. what type of girly you are, which house which patronus wand type s/o shifters blabla fred girl george girl marauders AI JK Rowling proship asjkdk
i should write a list of questions:
would ppl like Umbridge if she was hot?
which chars would face prison in muggle AU and under what sentences?
Harry's alcoholism?
like why cant we debate about whose wand is biggest instead </3 or if 10 Dumbledores would win against 100 Snapes, or how many Puking Pastilles are lethal idk f
