    The fandom did conclude that if he was real this character would probably swear like a trooper, but with actual swears all the time.

    (Is the character in question Ron Weasley? Because I do recall Rowling going "it got really hard to write Ron, he wants to swear all the time and it's a children's book. I can't let him".)

    No, it was Martin the Warrior, though there was a very similar abrupt tone change in a Harry Potter fic I saw once, in which Harry called him "Ronald Fucking Weasley" in the same sentence as he called Voldemort a "prat".

    ETA: here is our reasoning for him swearing.

    probably a typo for snorts?

    what an image, though. kind of want to try it, but seems like the sort of thing that would make you choke on your spit

    I got bitten by a minor plotbunny, and fanfic gripe: having to figure out things like "How does that shirt I can barely see in the official art go on and off and what is it made of."

    i get the not-very-good grammar in this fic is because the PoV character is like 5 and is still getting the hang of words but why is everything centered and where are the capital letters

    Pop quiz! What the living fuck is happening in this sentence? (No, it does not make sense in context. Yes, the whole fic is written like this. No, it's not the same fic I was quoting a few pages back.)

    He's... dancing around happily and it's making the narrator smile in a non-Euclidean manner even though something bad is about to happen to them?

    "Betrays my betrothal to fear" is just. Unsalvageable, though.

    valenstyne Went out for cigarettes, never came back

    I think that's the gist of it. I think. Although the narrator seemed to have a relatively normal human physiology so I dunno what the hell is going on with her twirling mouth, besides being a very funny mental image.

    Here's another quote for funzies:
    Dude. You can't go all Lovecraftian on a description of giggles.

    ...That is the most absurdly purple prose I have seen in a loooong time.
