harry is blocking the sock garters i unfortunately did illustrate

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

LMAO

couldnt get out of my head how well he could pull off thighhigh boots and had to draw it

this post is irredeemable dogshit. everyone who agrees with it should be blocked and banished [sees beloved mutual liked it] well of course, there must be nuance to this discussion,

He doesn’t even have the cup or the scepter

thinking about tomarry...and how it makes sense in my brain...maybe the reason i cant get into it much (unless i'm making it myself)is i have a different vision of what i want to see from the ship. not really anyone's fault it's just my brain gmekfmf

i see all fanworks as like, different universes. there are universes more lighthearted or simpler than others, and i'd enjoy any of those choices. but what's important for me personally is the core of every character and relationship. it exists in every universe i like no matter how happy or sad it is. it's basically the essentials, you strip all the details and you'd be left with the base. so honestly any idea is possible, no matter how absurd, it might just take a while to get there if the character's core is against it (like for something simple: a sub tom is entirely plausible to me because liking the feeling of being a sub is separate from tom's personality. he just has to deal with feeling conflicted about it mgmdmf). of course all character cores are pretty much subjective, for me it's just how i interpret the characters so far. like i believe harry's core is "choosing to act kind despite of grave thoughts" which is what ultimately makes him different from tom

for tomarry the core of their relationship for me is equals. i find it hard to be immersed when harry and/or tom get attracted to each other out of something positive. like, harry finding tom handsome; i can see him admitting that in his head, but then gets annoyed af at tom's skewed morals and actions. tom also, being interested at harry immediately or because he finds him handsome; i see him as a character with way too much pride on himself, he has his knights with him, people following him or grovelling at his feet is already expected. and he doesn't seem to care much about physical looks... one scenario i think can be plausible is tom being interested at harry is because harry Avoids him, or always angry towards him. and harry only grows attracted very later on (side note: i would love for harry to meet innocent(until proven guity) tom sighh)

another thing is like, how the relationship progresses along the way. it's the most volatile ship in the throuple(harry/tom/draco) for me, which is kinda funny considering the only one harry calls an archenemy is draco. their personalities just clash too much, and while harry understands Why tom would think like that, he doesn't understand why tom couldn't just keep it inside his head and do the right thing. for the relationship to truly start to settle, they both would have to meet halfway. unlike tmrdm i don't think harry can turn a blind eye against tom's crimes, and he also can't just Not Know when harry values truth. tom on the other hand needs a guarantee in his safety(immortality) as well as make him feel in control and not being told what to do. it'dbe interesting to see how they go over that

and that's just one universe...there's also different scenarios where they have an age gap(voldy), or power imbalance (student-teacher rel), and making a relationship work is just one way to explore a relationship...

all of these are so specific to me and i also mind the t/bs so this specific ship is something i truly just enjoy in the confines of my own head + waif gmmsmf which is both ass and fun because ruminating over ideas is fun but i have very limited time and energy

I wish I could fully enjoy the entire tomarry fandom but the appeal of top tom just doesn't resonate with me. I mean, I understand the dominant tom concept, but it still feels so vague you know, like I'm not enjoying Tom's character enough and plus Harry couldn't be more ooc, which makes it hard to feel like I'm truly reading a Tom x Harry fic. It's just their characters there placed in some creative AU setting, but sometimes lacking the vulnerability complexes and a true exploration of their dynamic. Well, it is my opinion, I really don't hate tom topping or bottom harry (I just have strong preferences) and I'm not criticizing anyone's personal tastes. Tbh I wouldn't be the one to do that lmao

same for me, the cores that i like to see for this ship are missing and so it's hard for me to truly be into it gmemfd, but yeah people have their own likes etc etc, the only way now is to just make the art that we want to see 😂
