week_in_drarry (1/nov21-27.2020)

i really managed not to read anything BUT drarry this whole week...which was both nightmarish and fun. but also proof my brain is melting and going to shit. the only non-drarry thing i've read this week was( ... )

now. ahhh....the drarry. unsure what order this will be in, i clicked into and closed the tabs of a lot more than i read, and i still have a ridiculous amount of unread, still open tabs.....i've been trying to exercise the ao3 mark for later function but LOL. some preliminary notes, that are not quite related to each other but ..

- I clicked out of a fic because harry said ‘jesus’ instead of ‘merlin’
- everytime i go to read fic i also just go, what if i just reread far from the tree, because that fic has ruined me. nothing will ever be that fic.
- I clicked out of a fic because it was set in america and i was like ‘what the fuck. I wanna read about weird british people shit’
- I clicked out of a fic because draco was not sneer-y and horribly adjusted enough
- I keep clicking into gracerene fic while thinking ‘we need to stop recommending gracrene fic’ … all they do is write weird sex. why. like oh my god they’re such a freak. like i respect it, but i feel like i’m allowed to not respect it also. also on my explorations, i’ve discovered Writcraft who also writes insane weird sex fic. tbh none of it is like actually weird, it’s just weird when you consider the sex dynamics they are writing into the drarry dynamic. if that makes sense aha. though i will say Writcraft writes one of my fave dracos ever.
- like i really, can’t stand descriptions of malfoy’s pasty white ‘arse’........that is so disgusting to me personally. please don’t make me think of a skinny white man’s ass.
- I also hate the word ‘buttocks’ like what the fuck? What the actual fuck?
- i think i've said this before, but i really prefer when harry is the more sympathetic/focused on character because it's the pretense of relatability. like not everyone reads him as brown, but i like to read him as brown, and not everyone makes him bisexual - but most of the time he is. and also i'm a main character fucker so .... i am just geared to like him more and relate to him more, and want more for him/from him/etc. like i realllyyyyy, really don't give a fuck about draco. it's the dynamic that's sexy and the harry that's sexy, draco on his own is like horrible and pathetic and not even that interesting bc he's literally a blood purist supremacist. like......just the real world equivalent is gross as fuck but through the lens of not-as-serious fictional equivalencies, it's somewhat more palatable.

so to start us off... not that these are in any particular order. kind of just went through my ao3 history( ... )
