I seriously hate when people act like their headcanon of Tom Riddle( or any character actually) is the only “real” one. Like… calm down. No one owns him. The whole point of fanon is to twist, reimagine, and have fun. God forbid a girl writes her own version and enjoys it without being told she’s “wrong.” Let people play with the character however they want—your Tom doesn’t cancel out mine, and mine doesn’t cancel out yours. Im upset :(
