James Potter may be a bully but have you considered that he’s also my princess

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Not gonna lie, JK Rowling making it clear she doesn't understand romantic relationships unless sex is involved somehow explains a-lot about her inability to write romance in her books.

Last year while watching PoA I had an epiphany. It was during the Shrieking Shack scene. You know the one.

I was like, oh. OH. These two old men are silly little lovey dovey boyfriends. There should be some good fanfic about them on AO3.

Now, listen.

Nothing could have prepared me for what I would find. I watched HP all my childood. I did christmas marathons for years. The dead parents were just... dead parents.

Then wolfstar decided to fucking snatch me by the throat and throw me into the Marauders Vortex, and there is simply no going back.

Black brothers angst? Everyone's gay? Lily Evans has a personality beyond her eyes (and her sacrifice)? James Potter is literally sunshine turned person? Regulus is... a person?

Delicious.

And all it took was a second glance at that slouchy hug between a shabby old man and a greasy insane prisioner, a simple let's kill him together, a quick check on tumblr, and boom! I have ascended to a higher level of existence.

I see now that this was an inevitable outcome. It may come sooner in your HP journey, or later. But it will come.

And when it does, be prepared. These crazy bitches created lore out of literal scraps and it is fucking amazing.

Yes, Joanne, we snatched these babies from your talons and made them better, gayer, and quite literally, ours.

James: Morning Reg! James: …what’s that beeping sound? Regulus: Jamie! Oh, um—I tried to cook you breakfast. James: But— *Loud beep sound* Regulus: Oh that’s the oven!  Regulus, taking out the food: Wait, what? Why hasn’t it cooked yet?… James: James: Because that’s not the oven, love. James: That’s the dishwasher.

my boys <333333

made for a class assignment where i wrote about all the young dudes and the marauders fandom, with tortured poets department lyrics in the background. what is my life

anyways…. i’ll make a coloured version when i have time btwn finals but in the meantime, i kin assigned them all moony toast condiments and taylor swift songs:

james is jam, because the pun was too good to pass up, but also he gives me sweet strawberry vibes. he also gets the prophecy for obvious reasons.

sirius is marmalade, like jam but fancier and more citrusy, less willing to put up with shit. also assigned the black dog.

remus is lemon curd, he gives me lemon boy by cavetown energy. he’s got a kinda harsh exterior with his scars but he’s actually really sweet and loves sweets. assigned tortured poets department for the “you smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate” line.

peter is butter, a staple to round out the group, can be overlooked but definitely deserves more appreciation. butter on toast is the best. assigned peter bc… well… it’s peter.

if you want an insight into my brain, i shipped Ron and Harry from Harry Potter and was so immensely angry at JKR when they didn't get together (I didn't know about homophobia yet) that I went outside and nailed the book to a tree

Incorrect Marauders Quotes

James: Guys Remus: Yeah, James? Sirius: What’s up? James: I’ve been meaning to tell you something for a while now… I… James: I’m pan- pana- panesaxe- pann-pansensu- Remus: Take your time, mate James: *points at Lily and Regulus* James: Boys and girls James: Both James: *points at the roof* And a third option Evan: *falls from the ceiling* *groans* James: … whatever he is.

[messrsrarchives]

the thing that annoys me the most about ben barnes mentioning harry potter on stage AGAIN isn't even the fact it leads to a mass of people forgetting that we hate jkr and she's a massive transphobe.

it's the fact that i have to see ben barnes.

[moonyswarmsweaters]

JK rolling is like the deadbeat dad of the marauders era characters

Yea, she did some basic stuff to create them, maybe named them,

but the mom, the fandom, grew them up, raised them while Jkr is mad that ‘no son character of hers will be gay, trans, queer’ and more

she didn’t raise them yet come with judgment for who they grew up to be, raised by the fandom, the working parent.

she doesn’t know them as well but she will probably only be back when she needs something or get mad that they aren’t “how they raised them” while she didn’t, only there when she wants control.

she may did some of the work, but she didn’t do much raising them and can’t be mad at shit of how they turned out’ to be.

[corkinavoid]

Hogwarts??? So you hate trans people then, if your supporting jk

First of all, it's 'you're', not 'your'. If you want to accuse someone of something, then at least do it in a grammatically correct way.

Second, that's a lot of conclusions for no apparent reason.

Third, don't like - don't look, the 'block' button exists for a reason, and I'm not here to provide a comfortable experience for you. You're the one responsible for that part.

With that out of the way, let me rant about how much I fucking despise J.K. Rowling.

Let me get this straight, though, her stance on trans rights is not the first or the main reason for my dislike. In all honesty, I don't have enough care in myself to touch internet drama with a ten foot pole, so all I know about it is that apparently Rowling hates trans people, which, yeah, fuck her.

By the way, what do you even consider 'supporting an author'? Buying their books or merch? Liking their Twitter posts? Defending them on social media? Because I've done literally none of that. I haven't even watched the movies, and I've never read the last book, because at the time it wasn't published (or written yet), and by the time it was, I was already into Eragon series and didn't care about Harry Potter.

Now, to the important part.

I fucking hate J.K. Rowling because of her absolute lack of comprehensive worldbuilding. She sucks at creating a logical system of magic, at her own world's history, economics, and politics. Nothing in her books makes sense.

Why do the wizards need wands? Why do they write with quills on parchment when there's paper and notebooks and goddamn ink pens and color pencils? Why don't they teach math in Hogwarts? Why don't the teachers have, like, some introductory lessons or at least books for muggleborn or muggle-raised students? What the fuck was that 'power of mother's love' bullshit? Where did that story about Peverell Brothers and Death come from, and why didn't anyone think to mention it when Harry first got the Invisibility Cloak? Why in the world is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in the girl's bathrooms of all places? Why is there a subject for Ancient Runes but no one fucking uses runes? Why didn't Harry sign up for Muggle Studies, it would have been an easy grade? Why was Hermione the only one to have a time-turner in the whole school, she was fucking thirteen, what was McGonagall thinking? Where are any kind of PE lessons? Why the everloving fuck was Triwizard Tournament held at a school, with teenagers participating? What's more, why couldn't they choose the champions beforehand so the visiting schools didn't have to transport their whole student bodies over for a year? Why were they fighting dragons when it's common knowledge that no sane adult person would dare to do that alone by themselves? What was that arch in the Ministry where Sirius died? What the fuck was even going on for the most part of the series?

None of it makes an ounce of sense. Every fucking event in the books is a product of poor imagination and lack of logic. Rowling is fucking dumb as a brick. I've heard five-year-olds come up with stories that had more reason than the whole Harry Potter series.

Have you seen the 'map of wizarding schools' she came up with? That thing makes me feel the rage of a thousand men. One single school for the whole damn Africa? Bitch, there are over fifty countries there, each with their own language, how do you expect them to communicate? Not to mention India and China having one school for both of them, do you have any idea of the population of both of those countries? That school must be, like, a size of a city, not to mention culture differences and language barriers again.

Also, what was that fucking thing about kids flying on whole ass trees instead of brooms in Koldovstvorets, that one offends me personally. Not to mention the actual name of that school, because it translates to 'magic palace', are you kidding me?

I can keep ranting about this for hours, and never run out, but this is getting rather long, so I'm going to wrap this part up. Just know that the whole of Rowling's worldbuilding is a ton of bullshit that has no right to be as popular as it got.

Yet, I do like the general idea that she had. The magic world that is hidden inside the real one, the whole charms and spells aesthetic, a castle full of secret passages, and all that old classic English vibe to it. It could have been good. It could have been marvelous, if Rowling had, like, a few more braincells. Alas, she didn't, and here we are.

A few years ago, I've found a fic on ao3, 'survival is a talent' by ShanaStoryteller. It's a Series Retold, and it's incomplete. If you haven't read it, I really advise you to, it's perfect in a way the original will never be. Ever since I've read it, I decided that that fic is my canon version of Harry Potter.

On a different note, I think that at this point, HP fandom and J.K. Rowling exist in two different dimensions. That woman had created a world, yes, but it doesn't belong to her anymore, it belongs to everyone who enjoys it. She clearly doesn't, she only enjoys the profit she is making from it.

If you've made it this far through my Harry Potter related rant, thank you, and have a beautiful day <3

Demigods usually get found by monsters and hunted down when they turn 12 right?

I’m not really in the Harry Potter fandom as much as I used to be, but I kinda want a fic where some children of Hecate get their hogwarts letter and end up going to school, except none of the wizards can see the Greek monsters that are looming around.

Like, there’s a difference from natural born magical creatures and monsters from Tartarus and these kids think they’re hallucinating because they keep seeing creatures the other students can’t.

Anyway, when they turn 12 and the monsters really start hunting them, they get approached by a saytr and everything’s great and it all makes sense.

Except they get their Hogwarts test scores and book lists towards the end of the summer and now they have to talk with Chiron cus…how exactly do you explain that you’re not that kind of witch and you’re actually the child of the goddess of witchcraft?

Especially if the gods are hiding themselves from the magical world for one reason or another.

Probably that their prejudices got too annoying to deal with or something and that’s why magic used to be way stronger until the gods cut contact.

Anyway, shenanigans where their trying to stay low and just go back to camp each summer talking about hogwarts like it’s a soap opera and then learning real magic with their siblings.

[multi-fandom-lunatic]

need to clarify: if you liked or enjoyed harry potter in the past. If you were a wide eyed kid with a passion for reading and picked up harry potter when you were bored and liked it. THATS FINE. it’s OKAY. But, if you continue to engage with the hp fandom knowing about jkr, then that’s not okay. We are made of not only the things we did, but also the things we do and will do, so while saying that you don’t support jkr is important, so is not engaging with hp.
