THE HALF-WORLD REVIEWS AND RIFFS ON BOTH FANFICTION AND PUBLISHED FICTION, USUALLY THE BAD KIND. IT UPDATES ON AN IRREGULAR SCHEDULE.

Fanfic MST: My Immortal [part 7]

More sex in this chapter. If you read the previous sex scene, you should know more or less what to expect on that front. This is also where the love triangle aspect of this story that I mentioned previously begins to become relevant.

Recap: Ebony met Harry Potter for, apparently, the first time, although he now goes by Vampire and is goth. He’s not actually a vampire, he just likes how blood tastes. You’re just gonna have to go with it.


Bring me 2 life

To clarify, this is the title of the chapter. Tara only titled a few chapters in this fic, and I’m pretty sure all her titles are the names of songs she likes — this one, for instance, is the memetic Evanescence song I mentioned previously.

I don’t think it has anything to do with the content of the actual chapter.

AN: wel ok u guyz im only writting dis cuz I got 5 god reviuws. n BTW I wont rite da nxt chapter til I git TIN god vons! 

Listen, God has a lot on her plate and asking her to review your story fifteen times is a bit much.

STO FLAMING OR ILL REPORT U! Evony isn’t a Marie Sue ok she isn’t perfect SHES A SATANITS! n she has problemz shes depressed 4 godz sake!

I’m sure I don’t have to say it, but Ebony is such a Mary Sue she’s used as one of the prime examples nowadays. It’s not because she’s pretty, an author-insert, or unusually skilled; it’s because the girl is practically a reality-warper, bending canon around her. Harry — sorry, Vampire — is no longer important in the fight against Voldemort (as we’ll see later), the primary struggle is goths vs. preps rather than good vs. evil because Ebony is a goth, pretty much every male character falls at Ebony’s feet (again, as we’ll see later), and none of Ebony’s “flaws” (depression, Satanism) hamper her in any way. In a story with a large cast of characters and a fairly fleshed-out world, Ebony is suddenly the center of it all for… basically no reason. That’s what makes a character a Mary Sue.

Draco and I held our pale white hands with black nail polish as we went upstairs. I was wearing red Satanist sings on my nails in red nail polish (AN: c doez dat sound lik a Maru Sue 2 u?). 

I mean, your choice in nail polish isn’t really relevant to your status as a Mary Sue or no, but what it really sounds like is that Raven didn’t pay much attention when proofing this chapter. 

I waved to Vampire. Dark misery was in his depressed eyes. I guess he was jealous of me that I was going out with Draco. 

No, that wasn’t a slip-up; Vampire is jealous of Ebony, not Draco. All the goth boys in this story are bi, which I wish to god was true in real life.

Anyway, I went upstairs excitedly with Draco. We went into his room and locked the door. Then…………

We started frenching passively and we took off each others clothes enthusiastically. 

I know she meant “passionately” but I’m really wondering what passive frenching entails. Maybe, like, an apathetic conversation about baguettes?

He felt me up before I took of my top. Then I took off my black leather bra and he took off his pants. We went on the bed and started making out naked and then he put his boy’s thingy in mine and we HAD SEX. (c is dat stupid?)

Yeah, it is pretty stupid. The implication that Ebony has a “boy’s thingy” is interesting, though, and combined with the thing about erections earlier I’m definitely headcanoning her as a trans girl now.

“Oh Draco, Draco!” I screamed while getting an orgasm when all of a sudden I saw a tattoo I had never seen before on Draco’s arm. It was a black heart with an arrow through it. On it in bloody gothic writing were the words………… Vampire!

That’s only one word, but okay.

I was so angry.

Why? “Vampire” needn’t be a reference to Harry, so I’m not sure why her brain immediately went there. Of course, she’s right, but I don’t know why she doesn’t consider the possibility that that relationship is completely over now, especially since she only just met Vampire and probably would have known him before if he was still dating Draco.

“You bastard!” I shouted angrily, jumping out of the bed.

“No! No! But you don’t understand!” Draco pleaded. But I knew too much.

“No, you fucking idiot!” I shouted. “You probably have AIDs anyway!”

This bit of homophobia/serophobia from Ebony is kind of weird because later on it’s stated she’s also bi (though we never see her with a girl). She’s also constantly talking later on about how hot guy-on-guy action is, but a lot of homophobic weirdos fetishize gay and bi people — think straight dudes who watch lesbian porn because they don’t like seeing other men naked, or the sort of “yaoi fangirls” who obsess over fictional boys kissing but harbor bigotry towards real-life gay and bi men. Methinks Tara may fall into the latter category.

I put on my clothes all huffily and then stomped out. Draco ran out even though he was naked. He had a really big you-know-what but I was too mad to care. 

Would have thought the sex scene would be a better time to mention Draco’s dick size. Although, actually, I’m not sure we needed to mention it at all.

I stomped out and did so until I was in Vampire’s classroom where he was having a lesson with Professor Snape and some other people.

“VAMPIRE POTTER, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!” I yelled.

I guess Ebony has a headache too. Must be something going around.
