Do You Think Everytime Neil Josten Opened His Mouth Wymack Just Saw

I don't know if it's only with me or if something happened but it's been so long since I saw any hatred towards Snape?? like, guys what's stopping you?? get back with it

read "loveless" being aroace is the most comforting thing that ever happened to me

please it's my only wish

Me

"being queer is about love" hmm actually being queer is about defying societal norms about gender and sexuality and does not depend on feeling love at all

I completely agree. I've seen many people say that aftg's writing is bad, but I really don't see why

There are super deep characters with soooo much to find out about, with so many quotes that are full of meaning and sometimes we barely notice it, but its there anyway

Besides the fact of how, even being a third person narrative, its almost like neil was writing the books himself. you can CLEARLY see his personality in every line. "oh but there are stuff about the protagonist's life that we don't even know until the other characters find out" so???? you can't tell me that that's not the biggest neil josten thing to do. come on the guy lied so much that he was almost believing in his own lies, HE'S NOT A TRUSTABLE PROTAGONIST, THAT'S THE FUN PART, LET HIM BE.

"oh but there are so many characters and the narrator still only talks about his past, andrew, kevin and exy" again. three words. neil fucking josten. he was running away from his serial killer father, he had to do his best not to get attached to everyone and everything because if something happened he was ready to run away right in that second

And the point only proves itself when we get to TSC and in one book Jean talks about a thousand different people all the time

Don't FUCKING argue with me. "Neil Josten let his cigarette burn to the filter without taking a drag. He didn't want the nicotine; he wanted the acrid smoke that reminded him of his mother." Is a fucking dynamite intro!! Is it edgy as fuck? Yeah. So? Is it hella melodramatic? Probably. So? Is it bad writing? Motherfucking NO! It's damn near expert level execution of several writing principles!

Who is the story about? First two words, next question.

Catch the reader's attention as soon as possible? "Why the fuck is he wasting a cigarette?" Intrigue successfully demanded, next question.

Raise questions that will keep the reader hanging long enough to have answered? "Why the fuck does acrid smoke trigger his mommy issues?" + "Wait it's because he burned her corpse??" Many many more questions raised + blind sided reader via preconceived expectations being subverted, next question.

Character establishing moment? What other characters use for physical and emotional regulation, he uses to fucking reminisce and wallow in his feelings, next question.

Set the tone for the rest of the story? Edgy, melodramatic, and emotionally gut wrenching, NEXT. FUCKING. QUESTION!

The Muses asked Nora to roll for Hook and she rolled a nat 20 five times in a row in 30 words or less. Hook, Line, and motherfucking Sinker bitches

Some of y'all need to stop ragging on AFTG's writing and start using it as a fucking case study cus this shit has the addiction capacity of heroine and god help the goddamn saltine cracker throwing stones

“the marauders got the teenage years the golden trio couldn’t and the golden trio got the adulthood the marauders couldn’t get”

STFU😭😭😭😭

do you think that Regulus ever looked at James and couldn’t understand how Sirius could love a stranger like a brother and not him?

and do you think Sirius ever looked at James and wondered why he was so easy for Regulus love, why Regulus would risk it all for James but couldn’t do it for him?

You might disagree, but Andrew would be the loviest person with children, not the kind that runs around with them and make baby voices, but the kind that protect them with everything in his power and let them mess with him as much as they want.

Like, if Aaron's kids want to put a princess tiara and feathers on him, he would stay still and let them have as fun as possible.

And when there isn't many people around, he would smile. Just a little.

neil josten is UNREAL oh my god
