i never read much hp as a kid, like the philosophers stone and halfway through chamber of secrets. when i was twelve i had a hard rule of “classmates that are excessively proud of being slytherins are classmates to avoid”. maybe i’d read it again but im still getting back into the habit of reading after a really bad episode, seven-book series arent for me rn and rowling leaves a distressingly bad taste in my mouth after her uh. many twitter and pr stunts
you know what ya bull i read as a kid? i was a goddamn warrior cats kiddie back when i was a ten year old and thought it was the absolute peak of literature. it took me until i was thirteen to realise it's just a publishing company trying to wring as many books as they can out of ghostwriters and how the books are filled with flaws and yet i cannot forget warrior cats. i cannot hear how long by charlie puth on the radio without my daydreams creating an elaborate amv about cheater crowfeather i hate hearing about how the sky went dark after crucifixion because it makes me think of the atheist rogue who just managed to guess an omen that made an entire clan break down because he was frustrated he wasn’t cool. i hate the kitty kats that kill each other and they will never leave me.
my brother is big on the mcu and loves wrangling me to whatever new movie’s out. he got a tony stark pop figure for chrissy, yeah? and its still sealed in its box because it has more value that way. one time on a nine hour flight i saw him watching endgame. two and a half times over and the half is from when the takeoff/landing procedures cut him off and its not like, tony dying or whatever its watching a three hour movie nearly three times
uhh some of my faves are ragnarok, winter soldier, the guardians movies because i have terrible taste and wish this 80s pandering duology to be as deep as i imagine it and captain marvel but mostly because i feel something embarrassing for larson and everything that isn’t the “mostly” is me going braindead when i see goosey because i spontaneously combust in proximity of a cat
also a whole thread about pop culture? i feel like thats too nebulous. maybe seperate threads on books, tv, movies, w/e but i bet if you go digging down here youll find many threads like that. im not one for thread necro myself though so i usually lay off old threads
