Tom Riddle can’t fly very well. He’s terrible at it.
Consequently, Tom also dislikes quidditch.
Tom likes to read for pleasure. Specifically textbooks—never fantasy.
Tom Riddle held Knights of Walpurgis meetings exclusively in the Room of Requirement.
Tom placed the diadem of Ravenclaw in the Room of Requirement when he applied for the DADA position. (It was assumed, but not specified.)
Tom saw that Hepzibiah had Slytherin’s locket and ultimately decided to kill her for posessing it as it was his.
Tom tried to make the Sword of Gryffindor a horcrux, but ultimately either couldn’t find it, or changed his mind.
Tom Riddle learned to fly without a broom in those years he dropped off the face of the planet.
Tom was a motherfuckin’ ladykiller before he decided he wanted a less human face.
Tom has/d a healthy respect for magical creatures, though he doesn’t particularly like them.
The basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets was female, Tom named it accordingly, and grew rather attached to it.
Tom Riddle was immediately assumed to be a mudblood his first year at Hogwarts, and was bullied frequently by his housemates for it until he discovered his heritage.
I tried picking recent ones I’ve read that aren’t as obviously popular so there’s a decent chance some of you haven’t already read it maybe. Mainly Tomarry stuff and a few gen fics because I’.m really into that right now.
My name is Tom by VanillaGhost- Tom is an android, it gets a little dark. Tomarry.
Running up that hill by rightonthelimit- Deaf!Tom, also a bit creepy, then again, its Tom. Like what ya gonna do? Tomarry.
Thomas Riddle and the Lamb of Dreams by RenderedReversed- I actually really liked the originality of this one. Reincarnation fic starring Tom and for once Harry isn’t the Master of Death. Open ending of Tomarry.
Kings of Flowers and Skulls by Merrinpippy- Fairy tale-esque and not the usual TomxHarry Hades Persophone stuff despite the title. It’s originally done and very sweet.
Everything’s Fine in the Beast Division by Merrinpippy (she has quite a few cute Tomarry stuff you should really check out)- FBaWtFT crossover with Harry Potter! Harry joins up with Newt as like a work experience to become an Auror, Tom works in the Ministry, very AU, very cute.
Curses, Foiled Again by Nicnac- This is just a short and funny crackfic that was just, aah.
The Definition of Normal by BrilliantLady- I LOVE THIS. WHY IS THERE NOT MORE KUDOS HERE? This whole series Perfectly Normal is an amazing gen fic that hits a lot of my buttons for long haul AUs.

“The book is better”, reading Wikipedia articles for fun, talks in vine refences, 100% obsessed with Greek mythology at some point, mum jeans and cropped everything, a strong distaste for modern art, too many fandoms, a million tabs open on your phone, stopping mid-sentence to point out a dog
Slytherin
Listening to albums on vinyl because aesthetic, wearing the same 5 pieces of jewelry everyday, coffee hoe, makes a new playlist for every situation, says “fight me” a lot but cant walk up flight of stairs without getting winded, childhood role model is Peggy Carter, can name their friends third childhood pet but can’t remember what they had for breakfast, walking out of the movie theater at night and feeling like you’ve traveled to another dimension
Gryffindor
Dying your hair in the bathroom sink, wearing sunglasses indoor because “I look cool ok”, always has to be doing something with their hands, candid photos and expert meme usage, gets a new hobby every other week, emotionally unstable, uses cheesy quotes for Instagram photos, lips painted red and messy signatures
Hufflepuff
Instagram is 80% photos of them frolicking in a field, runs an aesthetic blog, horrible puns and purposely bad pickup lines, obscure indie movies, hair dyed every colour of the rainbow, wanted to be a makeup artist, brutally soft, will fuck you up if you hurt their friends, boho chic
The thing I actually love about Back in Time Tomarry fics is that Tom Riddle
Arrogant, narcissistic, holier-than-thou Tom Motherfucking Riddle would absolutely NUT himself once he found out that Harry James Potter, his current obsession came back in time just for him. Those fix it fics where Harry ends up sent back for whatever reason and decides he’s gonna change Tom things for the better and where Tom fixates on him instead of whatever fucked up thing he was originally doing? Tom would love that shit and I feel like writers don’t use that enough but by god do I love the concept. The fucking psychopath I love him so much.
is it time for frank cho and milo manara to die or what
That’s basically a naked woman I’m YELLING
What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?
It’s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into “sexy” poses. Or how women in comics walk like they’re in high heels even barefoot.
It’s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think of “women” as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroes’ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for.
I’m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?
And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You can’t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters.
Come on, let’s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.
We’re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention you’re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional characters’ clothing is asinine.
What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.
This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks:
Also:
He got the painting for fighting against ‘censorship.’ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They don’t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.
You can see her butthole for chrissakes
I think the best imagery I’ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.
Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.
Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine. He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.
Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.
Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE.
This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.
bro you can literally see every fold of her pussy that just isn’t how fabric works
