At this moment in the dead of night, record my gray mood pades "Leila's Nightmare" makes readers feel depressed and unhappy. I have a few questions I want to discuss with myself First, the end of the full text I was stunned for a long time after reading it. After I suddenly realized it, my heart ached. Thousands of words came to my mind in an instant. I kept churning and messing up. I silently read the comments to find resonance, and then I was stunned for a while. Layla is a time traveler. She comes from the 21st century. Although this era has many shortcomings, compared with before, it is already very good. At least most people can live safely and most families have love. Suddenly from such a place, she came to a magical world in the book, Voldemort was in power, and the outside was full of death threats. But at home, Layla came to a family of Death Eaters. Her parents and brothers only used her as a tool. She longed for love, but couldn't get any of it, so she longed for freedom, worked hard, and calculated herself into it. Finally, she finally got a seemingly happy life. She has two children who love her, she is rich, beautiful, and married. Anyone around her who sees her will sigh with emotion at her current happy life. However, she has traveled through time. In this world, she has gone through all kinds of efforts and worked hard to get her current life. Is it really comparable to what she had in her previous life? Is this really what she wants? Just imagine, you live in a peaceful and safe world, surrounded by loving family and friends, and suddenly come to a virtual and strange magical world full of death threats and without any love. Even if you finally achieve your goals and complete your plans, will you feel happy? No, this is still a nightmare. A friend in the comment area put it very well. She said that she was in military training in college. At the end of the day, she took a shower, ate a meal, and had a rest. She felt very happy at this time, but she knew that this was not true happiness. Getting up tomorrow morning would still be a nightmare. It is said that Layla is a typical Slytherin, a scheming and evil woman who can send her parents and brothers to death. But Layla didn't want to grow up like this, she just wanted to be a sunny and happy girl, like Molly, she wanted to have a loving family. But such a living environment forced her to abandon these thoughts and force herself to grow into a poisonous snake while being afraid. Even in the end, she has children who love her, a safe environment, and freedom, but so what? Suddenly coming to a strange environment, losing everything before, I had hope, but was disappointed again and again, forcing myself to move forward in fear and pain, deviating from all my previous thoughts, being isolated and helpless, watching myself become another person soberly, my God, this is a terrible nightmare, maybe, this can really be just a nightmare. It's so scary, just thinking about it makes me feel hopeless. Let's discuss the second question - the emotional line, the emotional line between Layla and Severus. Let me express my opinion first. I think there is love between them when they finally get together, but it should only be a little bit. At the same time, Layla's love should be a little more. Their relationship is more like a tired person who needs a place to rest, and the two of them are just right, so they live together. But it is undeniable that they are both special to each other. I agree with a friend in the comment area that love does not have only one look. When that person is special and irreplaceable to you, and you can stay together for a long time, that is actually enough. Regarding Layla's love for Sif, she definitely had love for her, but she was afraid of her being wary, especially with Sif's attitude towards her. She could not and did not dare to hand over all of herself. As for Sif and Layla, when he was young, he might be complacent about the noble lady's advances for a moment, but he always reminded himself that this was just a trick played by the noble lady. He has low self-esteem and has always had a strong prejudice against Leila. He feels that Leila is a sinister woman full of scheming. That's why he hates Leila, but underneath his disgust there may also be a desire from his youth that is mixed with showing off and being complacent. After all, Leila is a beautiful noble lady. But this little bit of liking was not enough for Snape. Until they knew that the child was theirs, their responsibility and love for the child drew them into their relationship, but progress was still slow, but a family-like bond had emerged between them. Snape then felt pity as he speculated on Layla's plight, and his attitude towards her softened considerably. Part of the prejudice was overwhelmed by pity, and a little heartbeat emerged. The bonds of the family became thicker and thicker. Under the exhaustion after the crisis was over, they were so tired, so they came together and gave each other a home. But the relationship between them was still full of lies and prejudice. Most of Snape's pity came from his speculations, which he would not ask and Leila would not tell. Snape's mind was still imprisoned in the concept of unequal status between men and women at that time, and Leila would get angry even if her name was written in front of him on a greeting card. Snape still likes to poke people's painful spots and step on their painful feet, and he still has a great prejudice against Layla. He doesn't believe that Layla really wants to be a simple and happy person. He only thinks that this is the dark witch's new costume. Facing Snape like this, Layla would not confess her past. She carefully guarded her heart and was always on guard not to fall behind. Faced with some misunderstandings, she would not be believed even if she explained them. She was really tired, so just finish this nightmare like this, and one day she would wake up.
I always feel that Layla's nightmare is not the so-called male superiority and female inferiority, nor is it her former Death Eater family, but that she can never go back to her original world. She can still travel to China, or even settle down, and can wait until the 21st century (wizards have a very long life span), until her time comes. But it's no use. They are two different worlds, one in the real world and one in the book. As for Layla's relatives in her previous life, her anchor point with reality has never existed. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, she always has a sense of perversion. She puts the photo in the necklace to remind herself that this is her now, not another girl who does not exist. This feeling can be frustrating because it's as if you never existed and your current life is like a nightmare you will never wake up from.
I finished reading it quickly and will not discuss the shaping of Snape. As for the ending, I understand it to be this: after so much hard work, she was finally able to live a life that could be considered happy, and this happiness was only a helpless "make do" compared to the suffering in the HP world in the past. Happiness is the happiness compared with the past, and the nightmare is that the "happiness" that stops here is actually so powerless.
The author writes out the negative aspects of men, which just neutralizes the beautiful fantasy that romance novels usually have about male protagonists. Layla's nightmare is to a certain extent the nightmare that every woman faces: love always tempts us to indulge and give up everything to pursue love. But love is not worth it, but if love is not worth it, where should we go to find relief from the painful life? Every step is always painful, and we have to interpret being so hot that we are elated. Only in this way can the wounds be healed, and only in this way can we live our lives.
Very well written. At least for me, watching fellow Sijiao people is not just to make up for my regrets, but also to hope to get closer to him. This means that I have to accept the fact that Sri Lanka has poor hygiene habits and has 80-year-old students. I even have to consider that he was born in 1960, a few years younger than my grandfather, and grew up in the extremely closed wizarding world. Can I really be 100% sure that he is not a male chauvinist? I dare not say. Layla was born in modern times and grew up in the present. Because of that * time travel, she fell into a bad family and a chaotic society. She was objectified and even had her life threatened. She tried her best and was very tired. I actually wanted to question her relationship with Sri Lanka. There is almost no passion or romance in the adult world. More importantly, even if Layla and Sijiao understand each other's despicableness, can Sijiao really understand what Layla, who was once a young man in the 21st century, wants? The heroine is very independent and smart, but until the end of the article, all I saw was her making do, making the best choice forced by the situation. Is this what she wants? Yes and no. This article is nothing short of romantic disenchantment surgery. I do trust but deeply question their relationship. It is indeed a haven for each other to rest, but too many adults also avoid it and misunderstand pain as proof of deep love. In other words, even if they are both in their thirties, have they really had a healthy and normal relationship? Putting aside the existence of Voldemort, if everything was peaceful, would they be together? I don't think so. The protagonist's emotions are gray and cannot be scrutinized, and one can only turn a blind eye. The same goes for the protagonist's life. Therefore, everything is Leila's nightmare.
Nightmare indeed. The heroine becomes the mother of two children at the beginning. It was like being thrown into a ditch, wanting to see the child's father be shocked when he found out that the child was his. But I was not satisfied, so I continued to look down to see where the breaking point between the heroine and the child's father was, but I didn't find much. ,, In fact, the male and female protagonists in the latter part are completely the mother and father of the child. The two went around in circles for the sake of their children. Finally, a secular home is formed. The third child was something I didn't expect, and I didn't write much about it. But it is probably a symbol of harmony in bed, and it is an exaggeration to say it is the crystallization of love. All in all, it's a fair point. Layla's nightmare is a hazy fog. Although the sun sometimes shines through, it's still gray overall. What I obviously want to see is that even if I become a mother, I should not give up pursuing the happiness that women can pursue. The heroine in this article has almost castrated her girlhood. It is also a nightmare to travel through time and grow up into a girlhood, but it is rare to have the only bold thing, sex. As a result, the two children in the beginning quickly became a qualified mother, guarding the family property, fighting off bad guys, and allowing their father to visit for the sake of the children. She was a great mother in the standard sense. The heroine actually disliked Thomas, but in the end she was tightly restrained in that house. Why not abandon those burdens and be more free and unrestrained. I feel that from a certain perspective, being a widow is a very happy status. Repressed and obscure, sex can actually be liberated with a marriage relationship, at least it won't be as cautious as the heroine and Snape. Why did it become the most advantageous choice in the writing? Alas, if you write some questions like this, you won't be able to say anything. People watching this feel helpless, and even want to condemn Snape, although I have no idea what mistakes he made, and what mistakes the heroine made. It seems that what I can only hate is why two people are like two pieces of wood. I want to rip off their collars and yell at them, why are you so bad at cp? You should do this, that, kiss like this.
As scary as you think, Layla's nightmare is that she is forced to leave her original ordinary life and enter a world full of magic and death threats (especially in the beginning of hell). Don't talk about why the heroine didn't tell Albus about the plot to save more people (in fact, the butterfly has saved many people). It is already very difficult for the heroine to survive by abandoning all original principles. There are some things that can only be achieved by "committing yourself to a man" in the most difficult times (Sijiao still thinks that she can choose by herself, but she is still forced to find one, which is really disgusting). In the end, what I understand is that the best time is also the most tragic time. The best is because this is the best ending that the heroine can manage, and the worst is that the heroine has experienced so many happy lives without being able to be truly open and honest. There is even a high probability that it is not because of trust and love with the Sri Lankan teacher, but because they have children. If both parties are not together, it will be a time bomb. In addition, both parties have never been honest. With the third child, the Sri Lankan teacher may think that the heroine may have been Voldemort's sweetheart, and the heroine will never have anyone to talk to. In the past, I was unwilling to live an ordinary life that I wanted. Putting my name in front of Snape was just a "little fun" that made my "husband" a little angry and might "correct" everything... Www. It was so scary to wake up in the middle of the night and turn around and only see Snape's back. It made me miss my mother [poor]
When I saw a metaphor in the comments about people with bound feet, I suddenly understood what Layla meant by the nightmare. The world view of this fandom is very strong in the idea of male superiority and female inferiority. As a time traveler, Layla has lived in modern life for at least twenty years in her previous life. She was still in a world when she suddenly traveled through time. In a Death Eater family, it was as if she was forced to have her feet bound. In the end, although she was able to free her feet from the bindings, the damage she suffered was unsatisfactory. Even though she lived a good life in the world after traveling, this "good" life was the lower limit of what she had naturally had in her previous life, so it was a nightmare.
The last sentence "This is all still a nightmare" was like a slap in the face. I was in a daze in my dream, and suddenly woke up as if I was struck by lightning. Layla is very happy now. She planned everything, fought for everything, and got the "happiness" she wanted, just like a standard Slytherin. However, she didn't have to plan, she didn't have to go to great lengths to get it, she already had "everything", which was thousands of times better than the "final result"! However, all this has gone with the flow... Everything that happened has happened, it cannot be made up for, and it is impossible to go back to the past. The days of amnesia seem to be a beautiful dream in the nightmare that I gave myself. I finally understood why the book was called "Layla's Nightmare." But I think there can still be something different. After all, the world of wizards should be wider, enough for Layla to release her "anger". Time travel and rebirth, isolation and unimaginable torture in childhood and youth, bring people not only boundless pain, but also endless "anger" - why? ! Why do I have to go through this! Why should I suffer all this! Why is God so unfair! However, Layla never released her "anger", and perhaps she didn't realize it herself. She suppressed her anger deeply, so the anger that could not be released would turn into a thick and sticky fog that could not be dispersed, shrouding her nightmares. In the early days, she faced life and death danger, and her strong will to survive suppressed this anger; after the threat of death disappeared, she still suppressed this anger - maybe because she was used to it, or maybe she didn't dare. Even when it comes to seeking revenge on the beastly couple and brother, it is also in line with the social expectation of "a poor girl who was poisoned by her parents and seeks revenge against her". She never released her true anger. But this is the wizarding world after all, and there is a wider world. If you don't want to break through the daily vv, you can't say it, you can't say it, you dare not say it. Layla can complain, curse, and roar! Can she point her finger at God and ask why she was given such a tragic fate? ! She could berate everyone for why they stood by while she was killed? ! She can brutally take revenge on Brother Beast just for her own pleasure! She could exonerate herself, she said, brilliant Strais. She can sharply confront her partner's incomprehension and ridicule his vulgarity and ignorance. She can even travel around the world without a partner, go see Zhong Hua in the wizarding world, go to a wider world, start her own new life, and get to know the world again! She can cultivate her potential interests, develop a career, achieve something or not. In short, she can vent her anger, show off her vitality, and grow as much as she wants! Instead of just suppressing yourself, driven only by survival instinct, under the persuasion of society... In short, I hope all women will face their anger and vent their anger. To be a lioness, don't abandon the wildness of nature. Roaring and fighting may not fill the nightmare, but they can tear it apart! If nightmares and shackles always exist, then let the anger keep burning...
The Snape written in this book is really real and a man [laughing and crying], the filter of the tragic hero has been torn off
