90’s kids in the 2010’s // harry potter
savior, savior, savior like a shadow that follows his name. he had been indoctrinated with the belief that he would cure them all, but always is the question “what’s the point?” and so he’s found in anarchy, in fist fights, in the smoke and in the first line of the riot. this is your modern messiah - when he comes home to you battered and bruised, take him in your arms. this is the salvation he offers.
#but talk to me of harry as some modern messiah #not a prophet because his is the sacrificial function #talk to me of a harry who wants to rid himself of the redemption he has the capacity for #talk to me of a harry who is so close to having had enough that he incites damnation instead #but always always remembers who he is and retakes that burden (x)
#honestly i wanted more of harry suffering through what being a martyr and savior and messiah actually means #dealing with it #temporarily rejecting it #and then returning #and then living post-death post-return #with people calling him once again False (x)
