#also have u met desi boys irl?

[angelfic]

May I ask why you don’t like desi james potter?

ngl half the time I don’t even know how to put it into words but it kind of just irks me that the marauders fandom will create characters out of thin air but haven’t created a single original desi character but oh my god they made a canonically white man desi out of nowhere when TO ME!! there are no particular traits. love him but he’s the whitest white boy out there and his entire character just aligns with that

It feels kind of performative like why does GRANT exist but u can’t make someone desi sjdjdjefkgkI can list off characters like mattheo and lorenzo and grant and a bajillion others that aren’t even mentioned in canon but they’re all white

the marauders fandom irritates me on a Good day what with all the misogyny so when I see desi james or overly feminine sirius to the point where he’s basically a girl, I just take a deep sigh, man
