Two SW Bbbyys: Stickers Or Posters

Two SW bbbyys: stickers or posters

JK Rowling unfortunately seems to have no idea how fandom works, what meta is or that people might have different interpretations of her work. It also seems that her vision of Draco also extends to Slytherin House as a whole in most cases, since she tends to portray them as being the "evil House" with little to none redemable qualities or characters, wich is a shame. Specially for children who went to Pottermore and got sorted into Slytherin.

It's a black and white mentality that just dosen't hold up to reality and to the potential depth she (accidentaly) gave those characters, and it would be great if she could just stop policing the fandom, specially in matters her input is not required.

Hey, can you link me to where JKR said "Why do people ship Drarry?" Or anything about Drarry at all? Because I've never once seen her even mention it. And your post is pretty much ascribing that quote to her. I'm happy to admit it if I'm wrong, but I just don't think she ever said that.

Hello there. I assume you are referring to this post I made. First of all, I am not “ascribing” a quote to JK Rowling. There are no quotation marks there. However, I am referencing real things.

For example, she has multiple times gone on rather long and (in my opinion inappropriately controlling, didactic, and sanctimonious) rants about how upset she was that fans liked Draco and why people shouldn’t like him. She has also suggested several times that anyone who likes him must be attracted to Tom Felton (which is also rude, as it discounts the depth of his performance and also kinda inappropriate. Imagine if a male author said that about a female actress). 

Even very recently she posted this on pottermore:

“For all this, Draco remains a person of dubious morality in the seven published books, and I have often had cause to remark on how unnerved I have been by the number of girls who fell for this particular fictional character (although I do not discount the appeal of Tom Felton, who plays Draco brilliantly in the films and, ironically, is about the nicest person you could meet). Draco has all the dark glamour of the anti-hero; girls are very apt to romanticise such people. All of this left me in the unenviable position of pouring cold common sense on ardent readers’ daydreams as I told them, rather severely, that Draco was not concealing a heart of gold under all that sneering and prejudice and that no, he and Harry were not destined to end up best friends.“

This is very reductive and condescending. And also obviously pours cold water on drarry. It’s only one example. But there are lots more if you feel like digging.  The same post also referred to liking Draco’s character as an “unhealthy fantasy.” 

So yeah. She really does hold those attitudes. Despite writing books with a tremendous amount of drarry subtext. 

Celebrating the start of The Bachelor Season in America (I’m from Spain and I can’t explain why I find this show so fascinating. The whole idea of it is so stupid and trashy that you just have to love it 😂). I like to play with different universes so... here comes the STEO BACHELOR AU.

———————————————

Theo is chosen to be the newest Bachelor. This season is going to be one for the books as is the first time that the Bachelor likes boys, and therefore if everything goes according to the plan, the show will end with a gay wedding.

Theo is excited, he has always had bad luck when it comes to love. He believes his future husband is waiting for him in that mansion.

Stiles can’t believe what’s about to happen. He never applied to be in the Bachelor. “Damm it Lydia... one thing is to arrange a blind date and another to apply in my name for me to appear on national television” Stiles screamed almost near to hyperventilate.

“Come on Stiles... don’t be such a drama queen, I did this because I love you and I want you to have a good time with a hot boy” Lydia said with a inocent face.

“I don’t need to go to a TV show to have a good time, I’ll just go to a bar!!” Stiles signed. There was no wining against Lydia. “You know that the purpose of this show is to find a fiancé right? I don’t even want to get marry yet!!”

Lydia just stared at his friend. “Look you are competing against 29 people. I will not tolerate for you to be eliminated on the first night, but there is really a very slim chance that you will be the final rose. Besides, this will be good promotion. You are starting a new business as a crime consultant, this is basically free advertisement. Just be yourself you are funny, smart and pretty, the audience is going to love you” Lydia concludes her speech with a pat on his shoulder.

Stiles just accepted his fate and began to consider the advantages that Lydia just mentioned. He has an annoying personality, so even if by some miracle the Bachelor liked his looks, he could just pester him to the point of being sent home.

A month later, the show send him the information of the Bachelor, who has been selected. It was still a secret so Stiles has sworn to silence. He opened the email and Stiles was nervous, what if the guy was completely the opposite of his type. What if he was a total jerk.

When Stiles looked at the picture of his future... lover?... he was left speechless. Oh. Wow. He was hot. Okay maybe hot didn’t even began to cover it. He was the true descendant of Apollo god of beauty. The photo of his profile showed a muscular man, that looked delicious with a suit. His hands, god, Stiles wanted him to press him to the nearest surface. His face... blue eyes and a mouth that promised an exciting time. Yep he is Stiles type, he would totally go for him if he ever met him face to face.

His name was Theodore Allen Raeken. He had the same age as him and he worked as a gym instructor and personal coach, he even trained some celebrities.

“I can totally go in your place Stiles, if you are still unsure about this situation” Mason said looking at the photo on the computer. Liam hit him on the head while rolling his eyes. “Told you, you were going to have a good time” Lydia smiled at Stiles. “Yeah man...bring a fiancé back home” Scott joked laughing. Stiles was determinated to at least get a kiss from the guy before being sent back home. He could do this.

On the first night, both Stiles and Theo were a wreck of nerves. Theo has to meet so many guys who proclaimed to be interested in him. He had to decide who to give the first impression rose. He was sure the majority of the men that came to the show didn’t intend to pursue a relationship, they just wanted the fame and promotion that came with the show. He had to chose carefully. One by one Theo met his suitors but one of the caught his eye for the very first moment that he exited the limo.

Stiles waited in his limo to met Theo (he had spied him on social media, yes, you can’t really blame him, and his friends referred to him as that), he was feeling unsure. ‘Why would a guy like him notice a guy like me’ Stiles tought to himself. When the limo stared to drive towards the mansion, Stiles prepared himself. He excited the limo and looked at Theo who responded with a big smile. ‘God he is gorgeous’ Stiles thought. He was so caught up with Theo that he almost missed the camera man that had be following him to record the meeting. ‘Do not forget this is a TV show! There are going to be cameras an people following you all the time!!’ Stiles’s mind screamed on the inside.

Stiles was clumsy, and if you put obstacles on his way the catastrophe is guaranteed. So yeah he ended up almost crushing Theo. He fell directly into his arms. Thank heavens that Theo is a strong guy or both of them would be kissing the pavement. But maybe not everything is a disaster because Theo grabbed him and looked at Stiles in the eyes. He really looked. What the cameras recorded at that moment was two men holding each other and completely immersed in their bubble.

Theo asked him if he was Ok. Stiles nodded embarrassed and introduced himself as he had rehearsed with the producers of the show. Theo saw a spark in this boy. He was different from the rest. He was imperfect, and he was so perfect because of that. He was clumpsy, and he talked fast and was sarcastic. Theo was captivated.

When Stiles met the rest of the contestants, no one thought of him as real competition. So when he gained the first impression rose, everyone was left astonished. Stiles couldn’t believe it himself. Theo found him interesting.

The show advanced and so did Stiles. Lydia was right by the way, when the show aired, Stiles was the fan favourite. Everyone was rooting for him to win at the different challenges and games that the show created.

With each date Theo fell more and more for Stiles. And so did Stiles. Theo was not all muscle, he had a beautiful brain and their personalities were similar. They really enjoyed the other one’s company. Theo always has a rose reserved to give to Stiles.

Stiles ended up being one of the four last men, which meant that he got the chance to go with Theo to the fantasy suite. The name was cheesy but Stiles was excited to be alone with Theo. No cameras. The fantasy suite was associated with sex and Stiles was waiting for that too if was being honest.

When the door of the suite closed, Theo was on top of Stiles in seconds. Stiles gave in, enjoying every kiss and every touch. He had really fell in love with a man in a realty show.

After they finished their second round, Stiles gained the courage to say to Theo what he needed to say. “Theo” Stiles whispered in the others skin. Theo hummed in content he was on cloud nine. “I need to tell you something” Stiles continued. Theo moved to face his lover. “I... don’t know how to start...” Stiles stumbled on his words.

“Just say it love, you don’t have to keep anything from me” Theo assured Stiles with a smile.

“I don’t want to get married” Stiles blurted out. Theo froze. He felt his heart start to break. He looked at Stiles with a devastated face.

“Why not...?” Theo whispered holding back his tears.

“I feel to young to get marry already. I thought we could try to date in the real world... that is if you chose me in the end... I love you Theo, I would like to give this a try...” Stiles found the words he wanted to share with his loved one. Theo looked at him with a surprised face. ‘God I messed up... of course he wasn’t going to chose me...’ Stiles thought.

Theo grabbed his face. “Say it again” Theo said.

“What” Stiles asked confused.

“Do you really love me? Say it again Stiles please” Theo insisted

Oh. “I do. I love you Theodore Allen Raeken” Stiles proclaimed with a smile.

“I love you too” Theo said and he kissed Stiles. Round three here we come.

Some people will say that the end of this season was not exciting at all. Because the winner was very clear to all the Bachelor fans. But who cares when you get to see true love blossom while sitting in your couch drinking whine and watching TV.

The producers told Theo and Stiles that the show had to end with a proposal. So they came to an agreement. Yes to the engagement, but the wedding will wait.

When Stiles arrived home with a man under his arms everyone was astonished. Lydia proclaimed herself the Best Lady of the future wedding. Stiles didn’t dare to contradict her.

The was no doubt that this season is The Bachelor was a total success.

Fem!Theo
