[Anon Here] Do You Or Anyone Have Any Recommendations? I Literally Suck At Finding Good Fics

[Anon here] do you or anyone have any recommendations? I literally suck at finding good fics 😭

I think Tomarry/Harrymort/Tomarrymort could’ve been good, with all their connections to each other and all these (amazing) analysts/fanarts people do of them, if it wasn’t for their massive age gap. Like, if Harry was an adult or they were made somewhat around the same age, I would’ve shipped them so hard because I love villain x hero, and they (Tom/Harry) specifically are just so interesting, honestly feels like a missed opportunity 😭

Does anyone else find reader inserts weird?

I don’t mind the idea of it, I think it’s a cool and creative concept! but I just find that it doesn’t really make sense…

How exactly is it you?

I mean, you may change their name, their eye color, their skin color, their race, their hair color or texture, and their likes and dislikes to fit all of whatever you want them to fit, but ultimately, when the character [y/n] is written, it’s no longer really you. 

More times than not, their actions and thoughts will be nothing like yours, and you will find yourself saying things like “I would never say or do that," “Idk who this is, but it’s not me,” and yada yada because yeah, it’s not you. No matter how hard you want it to be you, it can’t. No writer can realistically make a reader insert fit every single reader. So once they’re written, they become their own characters and whatever the writer writes them as. 

If you wanted an actual reader insert story where y/n perfectly fits you, then the only way to get it is to write it yourself. But then I don’t think it would really count as a reader insert anymore. It turns into an OC, I think.

when i want fluff/angst fics and all i’m getting is smut

the struggle is real

Some sketches of my bebes ✏️

I really want a Fem!Harry & Delphini au fanfic.

How the war and Voldemort is handled i’m not sure. Maybe there is no war or Voldy. That can be done however.

But it’s where both girls basically grew up together. Harry grew up with her awful Muggle family, and Delphini grew up with an awful Pureblood woman. They know each other because they’ve run into each other before and maybe work together, and the way they meet can be up to interpretation.

Maybe Harry saw Delphini (she [Delphini] is always running away from her caregiver) doing magic one day/talking to a snake and went up to greet her and tell her that she could do that too or they literally ran into each other and either apologized and talked or got off on the wrong foot and didn’t like each other all too much but the running into each other thing became frequent to the point they thought that the other was stalking them or something.

Then when Harry starts working [maybe a muggle job or wizarding job], Delphini also starts working that same job, and depending on how they met back then will dictate their thoughts on each other and how they feel about meeting and working at the same job.
