Is that the one where Harry grew up with Scientist Parents? The way they horrifically killed off Hermione was NOT COOL
it wasn't "not cool", it was rough as fuck, I was crying.
Also, tag your comment as a spoiler pls.
and yeah,
spoilers for the finale
they revived her later
Tbh, I think people should know what they are getting into with this, as that was one of the major moments that led me to stop reading it, if felt disrespectful to Hermione as a character and me as a reader
"disrespectful to the character"? I beg your pardon, what!? Characters are the tools in the hand of the author to convey certain plot. Characters themselves have their own, well, character. by writing in
spoiler
the death of Hermione
the author shows inhumanity of a certain character, their cruel nature, because, if you think about it, letting the ogre into the school full of kids is inhumane and cruel, its just that the original author prefered to ignore it, making out of it nothing more than a fun adventure. Not to mention, this is not the first demonstration of how cruel the antagonist is, you just prefered to ignore it as well because it was not about your lovely little girl you read romantic fics about at night. And i'm ignoring the fact that these are de facto complete different characters from ones in JKR's book, similar names are here only for convenience.
put the spoiler tag.
Lmao fuck you. Do you really think people are going to listen to you after you belittle and insult them?
i'm being a jerk towards you because you're being a jerk towards random people who do not deserve this. I don't care if you will do my request as the moment when i was angry at your jerkish behaviour has long passed, but you will continue to passively be a jerk towards everyone who never read the book but would've liked to. It's kinda funny if you think about it.
Also, i'm making fun of you because your opinion is immature and dumb and i even said why. If the only thing you caught from my message are insults and belittling then you completely deserve it as your inability to separate emotional and rational parts of a message makes your perception as biased as it could be, therefore making you an idiot. Its ok to be emotional, but anyone should know when emotions should be ignored.
And i'm not gonna lie, i enjoy telling idiots that they are idiots. This is my little guilty pleasure. You can call me whatever you want for this.
