In This World and the Next Chapter 13

Jan 25, 2015 12:58

epic fail, google is your friend, i still ship percy/penelope, percy is evil, conflict be damned, hypocrisy, it's contrived excuse time!, informed wrongness, yay stereotyping, ron is evil, my argument is pastede on yay, i can has characterisation, i hate that you have a cock, pov!fail, reading the books is a good idea, the cake is a lie, meticulous planning, fucking self-awareness how does it work, badfic:in this world and the next, priorities be damned, the lowercase wizarding world, tractum ex culo, harry potter, convention of the psychics, idiot balls for everyone, dumbledore is evil, singularity of fail, minerva is ooc, continuity isn't optional, full of eastern promise
