Was Reading The Life And Times As Per The Request Of A Friend And Excuse Me While I Sob My Eyes Out At

was reading the life and times as per the request of a friend and excuse me while i sob my eyes out at the notion of lily and james bonding over their mutual hatred of august only to have a son born on the last day of july.

I needed to draw my favourite delinquents…It’s like a blast from the past:”)

*breaks down in tears*

I can’t believe we’re never going to see Lily Evans rushing to her boyfriend’s side after he had a near death experience, courtesy of her ex-boyfriend who went down a terrorist/purreblood supremacist spiral. I can’t believe we’re never going to experience the conversation between her and Alex Potter, while James is in the hospital. I can’t believe we won’t get James and Lily’s first time; hell, Lily’s first time. I can’t believe we won’t get to see McPrice getting together. I can’t believe we won’t get more Donna/Lathe content. I can’t believe we won’t see Lily Evans physically fighting Snape upon learning he casted the Cruciatus Curse on her best friend. I can’t believe we’ll never learn Mary McDonald’s tragic backstory. I can’t bel—okay, where the fuck is the firewhiskey, I’m too sober for this.

Οkay, but if he didn’t show up in your front porch wearing a symbolically red shirt and a ridiculous fedora to take you to a protest against a discriminatory, tyrannical regime and proceeded to spend with you the craziest thirty-six hours of your life that included battling bureaucratic injustice, removing a door from its hinges to escape, spending the night in jail, being best man and maid of honour in your friends’ spur-of-the-moment wedding and concluded with the heavens opening and rain pouring after months of draught is it even love?

So I'm on the last chapter of TLAT (again) (after so much delay too) and I had to remind myself that in real life, a tragedy of that magnitude has NOT occurred.

And so while I did that, I realised why the story needs an end: It has no hope. I realise that this is a bit redundant as most of the people we read about have very tragic lives, but it's not really true is it? Their ends are yes very tragic, but they had happy times and we deserve to see that. And honestly, it all turned out for the better and made a difference in spite (or more probably, because) of the terrible loss incurred.

We, as an audience, deserve our happy ending, even if it's not actually that happy. We deserve it cause it's tries to be happy.

Lily said it herself (to James after the whole sixth year drama), we need to come back and attempt for a better year because why would we leave it somewhere so sad. The last chapter is our hope for them to be happy. Fuck JK and her sad story, we can still hope in their present and allow them to use that sadness and fuel it to a future where they don't have to be in fear anymore.

Anyway that's my two cents. I'm an optimist at heart and I just want an ending.

If October isn’t the perfect month for drawing Jily, I don’t know what is:”D
