no because i think this is a meissuebut when i read james speaking my native language brokenly in a supposedly hot scene i shrivelled up and died

obviously no one expects anyone to spen ten hours ust researching but with how diverse our fandom is, you can literally find a desi person in 5 minutes and they'd help you

no one wants their culture and identity misrepresented.

a desi kid iscloser to being thrown out of the house than they are being hugged at the prospect of them being queer.

NOW FOR THE QUEER THING!!! it definitely depends on the timeline.

pre or during early british empire, through poetry, or atleast Pakistani poetry, we see alot of well-known male poets writing about male lovers and it was acceptable.

but afterwards, it became entirely taboo and frowned upon to the point where none of my family likes me because i have shoulder length hair. yes, it is usually that serious.

theres so much depth to our culture, as nuch as i love it im not blibd to its faults and i recognise them. they should be incorporated into literature and art with respect.

ALSO this does go for religious characterisation too. don't make your characters of a religion only to shit on it, or to have THEM shit on it, or for them to go sgainst its teachings

cultures, traditions, religions, and identities all deserve to be respected and valued with intense deliberation. never take on a challenge too mighty for your shoulders, either drop it or learn to carry the weight.

im so so so tired of seeing people use james latin identity as an accessory but NEVER doing the actual research to make him even slightly accurate to ANY latin american country.

STOP USING OUR CULTURE AS A FUCKING COSTUME IN YOUR FICS. IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY LATINX FRIENDS TO HELP YOU, THERE ARE ENDLESS RESOURCES OUTSIDE OF GOOGLE TRANSLATE FOR YOU TO WRITE HIM RIGHT

since like practically everybodys doing this:

if this gets 100 notes, ill draw and write instead of marinating in my thoughts.

if this gets 200 notes, I'll stop eating sugar for a week.

if this gets 300 notes, I'll start posting my work (oneshots and fics) again.

if this gets 400 notes, I'll tell the toxic friends i have at my dad's place that im not interested in talking to them anymore.

if this gets 500 notes, I'll take atleast half a day, off of social media to just relax and be more accepting of myself.

if this gets 1000 notes, ill try coming out to my cousin.

if this gets 5000 notes, within this month, ill try coming out to my bsf (who claims she'd love me unconditionally?)

(yes these are unrealistic in purpose bcz im scared of doing alot of the stuff on this list<3)

i want james potter who just when he starts dating regulus/lily, is so surprised when the actually want to hang out with him, have dates with him which dont just lead to having sex.

the first time the decide to have a sleepover, things begin to escalate, and after james declines, he makes out to leave, hes told that its fine if they dont have sex, not everything has to end with sex.

and james is just like 🧍‍♂️ when hes told that his worth is not defined by his body. hes so confused because his previous partners always complimented his toned body as they traced their fingers all over them, but when now hes praised for his mind, eyes, heart and soul, he finds that once empty feeling replaced by an ooey gooey one, and he realised oh. this is what love is supposed to feel like.

[hedgehog-troops]

can we talk about how genuinely disappointed lily would be with herself when she realises she found the quidditch captain hot.

[hedgehog-troops]

au where remus descirbes his crush to sirius and sirius thinks hes describing reg so he starts tryung to set them up and both remus and reg are like what... the heck and james is like :( and sirius is like :D externally and :(( internally and its takes them a long while but they figure it out eventually🫶🏽

[hedgehog-troops]

the lgbt tags being colorfull makes me SO happy.

[hedgehog-troops]

james potter who thought that the problem was the fact that he was too much, who thought being too much was the problem. zo he'd dial it down because everyone he'd liked woukd tell him to be less. james potter who thought the problem was the fact that he put in too much effort.

until he saw sirius with remus, how he'd cling to him, take him on impromptu dates, how remus would drop everything for sirius, how remus would always have time for sirius' antics and wouldn't tell him to be less, loud or affectionate.

james potter who then realised that the problem wasn't that he was too much, the problem was that he was himself.

[hedgehog-troops]

bother me even if we're not.

pls bother me<3

REBLOG IF IT'S OKAY FOR ME TO BOTHER YOU IF YOU'RE MY MUTUAL

"prongsfoot doesnt make sense"

what does history call two same-sex lovers? bestfriends. what were james and sirius "never one without another" potter and black? BEST FRIVKING FRIENDS.

[hedgehog-troops]

nothing could've made me come come out of the trenches and be online except for @ccccatttta 's socmed au

dedicated to james potter kinnie anon, i hope you read this <3 it could never suffice to your level but tried.

James was perfect, he's always been. His friends know him as the perfect shoulder to cry on, the unbreakable force, the 'happy go-lucky' person. And yet.

James has fought strong and hard over the years to maintain this illusion. Perfect Potter with perfect grades, perfects parents, perfect smile, perfect life.

How about Paltry Potter? The James Potter who's smiles never quite reach his eyes, the James Potter who stays up throughout the night just to get a good grade, the James Potter who's parents are never home, the James Potter who's always falling short for them, the James Potter who's never felt quite right in his skin.

His hands shake as he takes tests, his smile falls when his mother looks at him disapprovingly, like something in her shattered when he announces that he wants to be a boy.

His stomach knots when the girl he likes looks at him with distaste, when the guy he likes ignores him with eyes full of hate.

His heart clenches when his parents tell him to stick to one thing, to stop with this "in-between phase" when he walks into the living room with makeup on, when they catch him with a boy.

His eyes water as another birthday passes with the standard quidditch gift and a letter half-arsed by his parents' assistant.

His muscles tighten as he pushes himself to the brink of exhaustion whilst practicing, the wins are the one thing his dad hugs him for.

His stomach grumbles as he pushes the food around in his plate after his mother told him to atleast look fit if hes going to be broken.

His throat swells as he's met with another side glance when he talks, another sigh, another 'why're you so excited?'

He wants to go back, back to when he was a kid, back to when his parents looked at him like he was the miracle he was suppsed to be. Back to when he was considered normal.

Back to when he was just a kid and not defined by the color on his skin, the scars on his body or the chip in his tooth.

Back when he lived.

honey they're killing everyone there anyways. its not like isnotreal is askih people omg are you queer? and then sparing them???

also how do you guys expect a country who's been being bombed since the 1970s to progress to that level???

and if y'all are saying its because palestine is a Muslim country. literally does not matter, there's so many queers in muslim countries, yes sometimes they get shunned by specific societies but nobodys killing or physically harming them.

couldnt say the same about america tho.

I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.

[hedgehog-troops]

guys... guys. hot take

but nobody really truly gave a fick about the marauders aside from people who disliked them, and the teachers who likes them. mind you im in a very marauderesque group rn (the only difference is that nobody knows thats its us when we're doing shit)

but you mean to tell me that literally no body in the entire school noticed that these 4 apparently really popular kids went missing for a day or two every month on a full moon and never reconsidered it? nah they simply gave no shits.

"all generations of potters fall in love with blacks"

strap in, this is a long one

i propose to you euphemia black.

euphemia who took her little cousin, walburga, under her wing the moemnt she was born. they played together, effie was the situated babysitter despite being only 6 years older.

effie who walburga used to call eff all throughout.

effie when she went to hogwarts and came back to tell walburga tales of hogwarts, and walburga listened about the mystical and magical stuff.

walburga who wanted to get a job in the high ranks of the ministry and wanted to study hard for it. euphemia who would come back from hogwarts and teach her small stuff.

slowly as euphemia got older, she started to rebel a bit, hanging out with muggles and always with that blood traitor fleamont potter.

cut to walburga joins hogwarts and she's scared that no one will like her cz she's not cool like euphemia, she's just smart.

euphemia gives up time with her friends to stay with walburga, show her around, entertain her, tutor her and everything.

walburga when she goes home and get scolded by her parents and told to stop hanging out with euphemia and to hang around with her pureblood friend but walburga likes euphemia so she continues.

thats up until she comes back from her secodn year and her mother threatens her and walburga is like well im only hanging out with euphemia to gather info (in an attempt to save herself) and she rats out that effie is not only dating monty but also intends to elope with him.

effie gets disowned and theres a kind of target put on her and Monty's back. walburga writes and writes to her apologizing, but she doesn't accept.

walburga then has no choice but to play perfect daughter, to do as shes told, to marry young.

when walburga finds out that her son (sirius) and euphemias son would be going in the same year, she warns sirius, in her own sadistic manner, to never engage with him.

when sirius comes back yapping about the potter boy, she yells at him, but she just doesn't want him hurt as she was.

when james comes home talking about sirius black, euphemia has to close her eyes shut and remind herself that she promised herself she wouldnt meddle in her son's friendships.

when walburga tries her best to draw out information about sirius's friends out of him and he doesn't give out a word she knows that her son is stronger than she ever was.

she sees sirius rebel, again and again, despite her emotional, mental and physical torture and she hates him for being better than her, and yet she loves him all the same for that reason.

sirius runs away, and she could make the potters' life hell just like her family did with eff all those years ago but she doesnt. shes heartbroken, shes angry, shes sad, shes livid but a part of herself is proud of her son for doing what she never had the courage to.

when The Prank™ takes place and euphemia watches as it takes her son time, maybe a long time, but he still forgives sirius and they treat him as they did before, she realises that the boy she raised is a better and bigger person than she ever could be.

as walburga watches her younger son break under the pressure of one sharp look and a few loud words to reveal that sirius ran away, she hates regulus at that moment. hates him for not being like sirius, hates him for being a coward, but most of, she hates him for being herself, for being her mirror.

years go by, she leaves sirius' room untouched, shes not worthy enough to step in.

the war rages around them and euphemia, years later, opens one of walburgas letters. she reads the tear stained, smudged words as she takes in the sweet innocence of the letter. euphemia potter has always been a self assured woman, though at that moment she couldn't help but hate herself.

she hates how now she sees walburga in sirius, she sees sirius laugh with james and dance with remus and play with peter and wonders if walburga couldve had this life.

she welcomes death with open arms a monh later, but not before sending her own letter.

walburga watches the letter catch fire until all that's left of it is gray ash because she knows that euphemia all but did the same.

when walburga gets regulus' death letter, she, for the first time in years, breaks down.

she realises at that moment that she isnt a horrid person because of her circumstances, she just is.

[hedgehog-troops]

give me touchy regulus black who is afraid of touch and hates being touched.

regulus black who will always lean his jead on his friends' shoulder, throw a leg on them, smack them play fully etc.

but the moment hes tocuhed, hes freezing up, shrinking away from touch like it burns him.
