i have a Theory about gay ships of the world

So, for many months, I have had a Theory. @bat-plus-moth-equals-both says I'm deluded and insane for it, which means you can never trust anything they say, she's clearly taking revenge for that one time I called her eyes almond-shaped and pretty when we were twelve.

Now, I ask you, gay (gn) shippers of the world, to look upon the following ships and tell me what strikes you as a common point:

Aziraphale / Crowley (Good Omens book) John / Sherlock (Sherlock fanfiction) Henry / Alex (Red White and Royal Blue) Draco / Harry (Harry Potter fanfiction) Wilhelm / Simon (Young Royals) Nick / Charlie (Heartstopper) Darcy / Tara (Heartstopper)

TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE. TELL ME. LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE, MAGGOTS.

(i haven't watched young royals but the others i ship like my lifeblood depends on it, yes, thank you for asking, but that's not the common point)

2000: everyone loves the fantastical magical universe a single mother created by herself in her amazing books!

2024: we regret to inform you she is currently engaging in denial of nazi crimes.

I don’t like the idea of Voldemort not being able to experience love because his birth wasn’t from a product of love [because what does that say to children of victims, children who doesn't know one of their parents because they left for whatever reason, children of divorced parents, or children of parents who were never together/married/had broken up], so what if he WAS able to feel love [all kinds] and had connection with other people, and did for a while, had a girlfriend and everything, top grades, very popular, and was on his way to becoming THE wizard of the time. That’s why no one expects Tom Riddle to be Voldemort, the perfect cover up.

But he CHOSE to be a bigot, he CHOSE to be hateful and go on his path of darkness, he chose to do everything he did. And it’s a choice anyone can make, that’s what's wrong with him; it wasn’t his tragic backstory, it wasn’t him being bullied, it wasn’t him being put into a certain house, he isn’t a product of his time, he could’ve easily not have chosen this path, but he did, and anyone can, that’s the point of his character, he is a representation of everything you could be, he exists as a reminder of what could happen if you don’t correct certain behavior or educate young children, if you refuse to acknowledge that your opinions come from questionable sources, if you refuse to educate yourself in certain areas of media and spread misinformation, or worse, purposefully spread misinformation with full knowledge that it could lead to social stigma, or blatant discrimination. 

The worst villains are the ones you could easily become.

I’m so serious you can say as many fuck jkrs as you want but you’re still supporting a woman who is steadily endangering the lives of so many queer and trans people everywhere. You can’t death of the author someone who is gaining influence and impacting lives more every day. Even understanding the prejudices baked into her work and navigating them in a conscientious way won’t stop her from funding political parties. She’s been extremely open about how she perceives ANYONE who still engages with the HP franchise as a supporter of her views. How can you actively choose a media that you enjoy over a trans woman’s right to exist within society??

I'm probably not going to watch the new Harry Potter HBO series when it comes out. Or, at least, it would take some pretty incredible reviews to get me to pirate it.

BUT. If I had creative control over this series. If I could make one (1) change to the story and worldbuilding. It would be to nerf apparation.

As a functional plot device for the DH storyline it is obviously extremely necessary. I get why it was introduced later in the series (even though all the prior books make it obvious it was a retcon.) But I stg instantaneous teleportation for every adult witch or wizard with VERY few limits is SUCH a terrible thing to introduce to a story that already has so many other creative magical transportation options. WHY isn't this a Voldemort or Dumbledore level skill??? HP wizards are so overpowered. It could have been limited to only one of the trio being able to apparate, and not well. DH does still function as a story with that change. It's like putting a speedster in your superhero movie. You just have to kill them I'm sorry. I'm beginning to think that all of my HP fic ideas are born out of my incredible need to put hard limits on apparation. (If she didn't want me to hate apparation she shouldn't have given me flying broomsticks and magical trains, I'm just saying.)

(If I had the power to make many many changes to the new HP series, I would completely overhaul the magical world's economic system. It makes NO SENSE. WHY would a post-scarcity society function like this. WHAT DO YOU MEAN there is a duplication spell. Aaagggghhhh it gives me hives. This is the source of the rest of my fic ideas.)

sirius orion black would have been adele's biggest fan and remus would've been the one to put him on it

What is your Hogwarts house?

I beg you'll forgive me, but I feel like I can no longer answer questions of this kind without a whole discussion on how I have grown absolutely disenchanted with the Harry Potter franchise and J.K. Rowling's growing villain arc. It's particularly egregious in that she herself stated that supporting Harry Potter equals supporting her anti-trans views (also we're not talking about her recent book that was both transphobic and Islamophobic at the same time; mentioned this bc I was raised Muslim). Her bigotry is truly starting to seep more and more into her works. You will see more posts about it if you explore the "fuck jk rowling" and "fuck jkr" tags on my blog.

(but anyway, I am... was... a Hufflepuff. Yes, I was a fan, but I was able to let go of the fandom almost as soon as her villain arc started. And besides, the Fantastic Beasts franchise was starting to really suck.)

“snape’s patronus is a doe because he’s in love with lily”: sloppy. lazy. boring. predictable. overused. coined by a transphobe. “snape’s patronus is a doe because he got attacked by deer in wollaton park”: transcendent. new. fresh. realistic. has happened to several people i know. nottingham icon.

[cherry-pop-elf]

I genuinely accidentally made Trans visibility day art, because I was dysphoric. Damn, can’t get more trans awareness then being self aware that you are trans 💀

((Btw it’s George that is trans. Fred gave him top surgery in Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom in their sixth year of Hogwarts. They had plenty of free time, because of the Tri Wizard Tournament after all

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

do you support jkr? /genq

because i really like your content but am a little unnerved so i would like to clarify so i can put my mind at ease

Thank you for asking anon maggot and here you shall have my answer (I have to say I might get a tad bit emotional because this is very very very important to me):

FUCK JKR WE DO NOT SUPPORT JKR OR HER TRANSPHOBIA ON THIS BLOG. I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO YELL THIS LOUDER BUT I CANNOT POSSIBLY.

Fuck JKR, and fuck everything she did to tear away the safe space her stories had made from queer people everywhere. Fuck her for using her position of influence to endanger the lives of a community that's already so vulnerable.

I'm a trans man, and while I refuse to let what she did take away the joy I've found in the queer parts of the Harry Potter fandom (because it exists, god bless fandom), I will never spend a day without feeling sick at the thought of how much grief she's brought to me and queer people everywhere.

[adding an edit here to say that there is an explicit discussion of transphobia below, so content warning, skip the next two paragraphs if you need to]

It's really sad that I understand completely why you asked that question, anon maggot. Because every time I enjoy someone's content or a creator, I'm always, always wondering but what if, but what if they hate my community, but what if they're against people like me, I don't know if I can feel safe here.

I never know if I can feel safe anywhere. I have to sit and listen to people who love me and I'm not out to, as they talk about how trans people shouldn't have basic human rights. It's a sickening feeling to know how if I said just one sentence, people who claimed to love me, the families of my friends, would immediately just... turn on me. Invalidate me at best, and I'd rather not think about the worst.

Please know that this blog supports all queer people (yes that includes people who are aroace spec, of course it does, that should not be discourse that is happening at all, but it is, so yeah).

You are all safe here. I will do everything possible to make sure you know that.

Wolfstar Microfic: The Happy Ending

Lesbian Week of Visibility!! Lesbian Wolfstar!!

If you’d asked Remus at 13 if she liked girls, without hesitation she’d say yes. She liked them just fine. They were compassionate, witty, gorgeous beyond compare, and had a bit of a mean streak.

At 15 if you asked Remus if she liked girls, she’s again say yes, yet this time it was realized she really just liked one girl. One girl with the silkiest black hair and most perfect angled lips. The one with boney hips, a bit of curve in her spine, and a strange gait she couldn’t help but be fond of. The one who laid on her stomach and held her hand when they slept in the same bed. The one who everyone knew would be Remus’ bed mate on Marauders trips. The one who flopped down next to her and wove their legs together in a tangle of fishnets and bare skin. The one who’d poke the end of Remus’ nose and make her forget her biggest insecurity. The one who’d never wear her retainer and as a result let her teeth go crooked again. The one who’d make Remus feel so special then so alone because there wasn’t a chance a girl like her could like a girl like Remus— or even like a girl at all.

At 17 if you asked Remus if she liked girls, she’d say yes, then specify she loved her favorite girl: Sirius Orion Black. The brightest star in the sky and the brightest star in her eye. The one who kissed like she’d never kiss again. The one who’d brush Remus’ hair behind her ear and make her blush like she was 15 again. The one who’d ask to try Remus’ coffee then complain that it was too bitter. The one who’d steal Remus’ sweaters and tell her how good they smelled. The one who’d let Remus hold her when she cried and return the favor when need be. The one who’d hold Remus’ hand in public and cling to her arm. The one who’d jump at every opportunity to show off her “girlfriend, who’s super smart and funny.”

Remus got the happy ending early, and if she hadn’t, she’d have fought for it forever.

sometimes it's pretty difficult being trans knowing that it takes so little for cis people to start debating our right to do quite literally anything, even just existing. and what's worse is that i think transphobes take joy in coming together to spout their vile rethoric and make more people believe the blatant lies they say about us

sometimes you find yourself nostalgic for the Harry Potter fandom days, and thinking affectionately about the things that were good about that time and place, and you just have to reckon with that. like, yeah, jkr’s behaviour has escalated to the point of unforgivable over the years. yeah, her stories were problematic in the first place, and that’s all the clearer in retrospect. yeah, I don’t feel comfortable anymore refering to my hogwarts house or my patronus, nor would I wear hp merch in public; I don’t want to give any impression whatsoever that I support jkr’s views, let alone ever give her my money again.

but none of that changes the impact the story had on my life. none of it takes away the joy and wonder that hp once inspired me. it doesn’t erase the fun I once had - many of us once had! - engaging in fandom discussion, making and sharing some truly remarkable fanworks, or indulging together in any other aspect of the massive community that built up around the fandom. jkr may leave a bad taste in my mouth (to put it mildly), and her bigotry may make it difficult for many of us, myself included, to purely enjoy any of the books or movies (or etc) ever again. but there’s still an attachment there. there are still characters and details and ideas and ships in hp that I love, in spite of her.

figuring out what to do with that lingering affection is something I guess we all have to do on our own. everyone is going to draw a different line in the sand. maybe tonight I’ll decide to read some fanfic, and try not to moralize that too hard, because reading fic is a long way removed from supporting jkr and her views. but it can be really tough to decide where exactly your hard line is. sometimes it even moves.

this isn’t a productive post; I’m not drawing any conclusions. just sort of thinking out loud, so to speak. it’s not something I think about often these days, but it still hits me sometimes, and few storytellers have ever inspired and then horrified me to the degree that jkr has. it’s just… tough to reconcile these things.

just had the realization that sirius black & steve harrington are the same person

This Saturday’s rabbit hole has been checking out the American Girl catalogue for the first time in years and being enamored with all the beautiful outfits and play sets. Unfortunately, I am not immune to Shiny Red Christmas things, which is 90% the appeal for me for looking at AG stuff. The other 10% is nostalgia from the early 2000s of looking at the shiny red Christmas AG stuff. XD

Anyways look at this beautiful doll.

She’s $300. That’s absurd. She’s so beautiful. I don’t want her. I want that outfit for myself. 😂
