#biracial hermione

[beloved-child-of-the-house]

One of the reasons the Dursleys refused to associate with Lily and barely even know her husband and son's names is because she married a Black man and had a Black son.

And they're so ashamed of Harry when he comes to live with them not solely bc of the possibility that he has magical power but simply because he is Black and having a Black person in their household (not their family because they don't treat him like family) is a source of shame to them.

So they treat him like a servant and tell everyone he's a criminal whom they are attempting to reform out of the goodness of their own hearts. AND ALL THEIR NEIGHBORS BELIEVE THEM even tho Harry is the kindest, most generous, most polite child in the world!!! Everybody is soooo ready to think he's a bad egg, and it doesn't end at Hogwarts even tho everyone there has magical power too. The fickleness and disloyalty with which so many of Harry’s peers treat him when he is smeared by the press or puts a toe out of line at school!!

Dumbledore's thumb up his ass attitude toward the Dursley's abuse and grooming Harry to believe it's his duty to die for the cause HMMMMMMM!

You know, it be preferable if certain Jily artists would bother to tag their art with poc/desi james potter tag. Cause not all of us consider that headcanon to be ‘canon’. The author is problematic and all, but that doesn’t mean race swapping existing white characters is any better/makes y’all superior. It works for Hermione because she’s a muggleborn and the added subtext of her being picked on by a racist, pureblood white prick like Draco and the garbage Malfoys. And this doesn’t fucking mean Jily=Dramione! Fuck no. If anything, James being the reverse of Draco, but similar in he too was a white, pure blood privileged boy raised and pampered but was actual taught to not be a complete dick to those who’s blood status isn’t pure. Changing his race to fit a certain headcanon is bs and makes Dursleys hypocritical and worse(but skin color logic, they should hate Kingsley too). And it’s always James & Harry. Never Sirius, Remus, or Lily(who has the most reason to be race swapped). So overall, this fandom is a joke

yeah i'm not gonna trigger tag for race because you think giving james potter brown skin is reverse racism, that's insane.

it's cowardly to vague jkr's flaws w/o delineating. be specific: she is virulently racist and antisemitic, and violently transmisogynistic. she displays this openly throughout the harry potter series, as well as contributes active, tangible harm with these ideologies in real life. you should be honest about that if you're going to champion the audacious take that her depiction of overwhelming whiteness in hp is so sacrosanct.

i think it would be constructive to examine why you think only muggleborn characters can be feasibly raceswapped. is whiteness so default in your mind that you can't personally justify the inclusion of racial diversity if it isn't predicated on "subtextual" marginalization? and in a series that frames its largest conflict around a system that murders people based on blood status, your best example of this "subtext" is draco "picking on" hermione? literal attempted genocide happens in the last book.

other things:

it's like you brought up dramione just to get really mad about it for no reason.

you should probably know that the dursleys are already abusive hypocrites. it's beyond strange that your only real discernible argument for why it's bad to race swap james is that it makes the dursleys "worse." they're already child abusers.

hi. did you just say "skin color logic"?

you found my blog that has at max maybe about 10 followers to complain to me about a piece of fanart that got maybe 30 notes, because you personally don't like that the white character authored by a racist white woman was not depicted as white in my art, something you think should matter to me.

your concession that lily is one of a personally selected few that are more logically viable to be race swapped would also allow harry to be biracial. how did you forget the dursleys so quickly? think of their suffering.

this fandom is a joke because you're in it.

[senlinyu]

Hi Sen, long time lurker and appreciator of your work and commitment to it (especially keeping to a tight upload schedule). I’d like to congratulate you on how well you’ve developed your writing- obviously manacled was a delight to read, but LTDI shows how much more intentional and measured you are with your words- it’s superior to many published works in my opinion. I suppose as with most things, only perfect practice makes perfect, so I’m wondering how your process has differed writing LTDI?

You're so kind. Um, with Manacled a large part of the challenge of the story was the nonlinear structure, where it was a medias res structure mystery, and trying to tie the past and present together so that even though the atmosphere and characters were different in the past vs present, the storylines felt enmeshed with each other in both time periods, and then it was really important to me to really build Draco and Hermione's relationship from scratch because I wanted readers to see why they were in love, why they were willing to go so far and suffer so profoundly, I didn't want to just wave my hands like "obviously they love each other why else would they do such crazy things."

LTDI is really different because a lot of the challenges in writing it are more nuanced and tricky to pin down, its a lot of playing with linguistics and the implications within social interactions, and how experiences colour perception. It's not really difficult in a structural sense, or stylistically, it's pretty run of mill I'd say, so for me most of the challenges are trying to juggle a lot of different elements at the same time, trying to keep the plot and tension as tight as I can while interweaving all the different elements and not dropping the ball on any aspects. Writing teenagers has honestly been one of the hardest parts, trying to depict Draco and Hermione as two young people who are almost adults but not there yet and trying to write them reacting to things in a way that's age appropriate. The story is a bit weird on a personal level because like Draco I was raised in this ultra-restrictive, ultra-conservative environment and then started trying to find my way in my later teens, but on the other hand, I am biracial and so like Hermione, I was raised in this world where I was allegedly supposed to belong in while perpetually being treated like an outsider, so in a weird way it's like splitting myself teenage self into two people and then writing the story of how they fell in love while competing in a death tournament.

Never Sirius, Remus, or Lily(who has the most reason to be race swapped). So overall, this fandom is a joke

overall after reading that i think every word you wrote is a joke (yeah, i'm answering just now, i had no time in last few weeks whatsoever)

"not all of us consider that headcanon to be 'canon'" what. putting canon in quotation marks doesn't make that sounds any more sensible. people know that poc james isn't canon even if they don't like idea of him being white. no one makes it canon or 'canon', it's fandom thing. no one calls it canon for real. no one can argue canonically white james

no one feels superior because of making race swap to any character but there's also nothing wrong with that as long as it's not harmful. there's bunch of white characters in hp, most of them. james is canonically white so there's no problem that he stays this way for you. but the thing is most of the things about marauders is headcanon because jkr didn't do much with them and one of those is poc james. and it's okay! there's canon white james and there's desi james and asian james and black james and biracial james and there's no way that could be harmful to you to the point to write long ask referring to my old post

harry potter universe has a canon black character that comes from muggle family. he's called dean thomas. there's also canon white character that is muggleborn. hermione granger. there are white and black characters born either in muggle family or magic one or mixed. because yes, blood purists in hp can be seen as racists. and looking from our world into what we're reading and watching it can be a good analogy. but characters in hp can be both racists and blood purists. dean could have been hated for beeing black and for being muggleborn, jkr just never wrote anything like that in her work but to the moment when dean was haunted in book 7 for being muggleborn. ted tonks was haunted as well and he's white. it wasn't about race, it was about blood. jkr made basically everyone white there and pretended that the only problem in the universe is purity of blood as if racism didn't exist

so no, it doesn't "work for hermione because she's a muggleborn". it doesn't work for lily "who has the most reason to be race swapped". it works for any character in the universe. in universe when you can see how muggleborn and mixed blood people are treated worse than those with pure blood . and if you need added subtext of muggleborn being poc to see a problem with blood purists, that's on you. as if black hp character couldn't be a blood purist. blaise zabini anyone?

headcanoning james and harry as poc doesn't make dursleys seem worse than they are. they are already horrible people. they were abusing A CHILD. canonically they were abusing white boy because he was a wizard, not other reason. making harry poc in headcanon doesn't make them worse because they did that canonically to white kid. it's terrible enough. making lily and harry poc instead of james and harry doesn't work better. vernon canonically still is white, with poc petunia abusing poc harry wouldn't automatically make vernon non-racist. it's giving "i have black friends, i can't be racist". you can. but we know that whatever color harry would be, vernon still would hate him because of his magic

[sk1fanfiction]

is this too navel-gaze-y?

The Riddle/Voldemort deadname discourse caused me to think about what (if any) Doylist interpretation there is of taking on a new name in this case. I think it's more analogous to internalized racism leading a biracial person to pass as white.

(The Muggle-born thing is a clumsy metaphor, but there's something to be said about the amount of people who have headcanoned Hermione as black for years. Clearly there is some kind of connection here.)

Riddle picks a new name for his true self not because he feels he's always been Lord Voldemort deep down. He never had any reason to be ashamed of his birth name (and we are never given any indication of discomfort) until he came to Hogwarts and was Sorted into Slytherin and wound up living with blood purists (aka magical racists) to whom lineage is everything. He specifically develops a hatred for his 'filthy Muggle father's name' because he internalizes blood purist beliefs. Feeling massive amounts of self-hatred and shame for carrying a Muggle name and that being halfblood makes him inferior, he creates a persona that allows him to pass as pureblood.

♡︎ hello everyone! i’m in search of some roleplay partners, i usually don’t get any luck with posts like these but i’m running short on options. i love one on one roleplays, im also interested in probably making a group roleplay sometime with partners with the same interests. im twenty two, so I WILL NOT ROLEPLAY WITH MINORS! YOU WILL BE BLOCKED IF I SUSPECT YOURE LYING OR IF I FIND OUT YOUR AGE!!! there are plenty of minor roleplayers, go roleplay with one of them darling.

below is a little quick summary of things i’d be interested in. i have a more detailed overview document if anyone is interested in seeing that.

lιтeracy ↠︎ i roleplay in semi-literate, advanced literate and novella style depending on my roleplay partner. roleplays need to always be in third person, no first person or asterisks!

ғandoм ↠︎ harry potter, steven universe, walking dead, adventure time, twilight, percy jackson… many many more. either ask about one or i can send my complete card.

paιrιng ↠︎ if it is an original plot, i’d prefer to do mxm or fxf. the ONLY EXCEPTIONs is if the m muse is feminine & small whereas the f muse is masculine & taller. i also will do mxf in a fandom roleplay as long as i like the ship!

cнaracтerѕ ↠︎ i have many original muses but in fandom roleplaying i tend to change how they look based on their movie descriptions or how i view them. i will never use the movie actor… ever. characters i roleplay, based on my listed fandoms:

Any fics that take place during the 50s/60s? I'm interested in how things can change. Like for example Hermione being biracial in 60s UK? For fics you have she doesn't have to be black as long as it takes place during the 60s.

This is the only one I can find:

For Those Who Come To San Francisco by Felgia_Starr, NuclearNik - M, one-shot - Hermione Granger is a gentle woman with plenty of flowers in her hair, wanting to change the world for the better. She hopes to find and befriend like-minded people. Draco Malfoy is a psychedelic artist who just wants to get away from his parents and see the beauty of the world for his own. He hopes to find peace and contentedness before he leaves for the war. What happens when they bump into each other one beautiful day in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco during the summer of love?

He's so dumb and I love him, since it's been a minute I'm kinda curious about y'all's fuck JK Rowling headcanons? Mine is trans Ginny and Sirius ands everybody is queer and three only white people are the Weasley's (who are Irish) and technically the Malfoy's were (they were French) but Lucius's mom was Japanese, the Blacks are still Korean in my head cause of some image I saw years ago on Tumblr of them as K-pop idols and Sirius looked really cool, Potters are obviously Indian, the Evans are either Black or Latino depending on my mood, Hermione is biracial (black+white), Ron is dyslexic and bi, Harry has ADHD, Luna is not autistic she's part fae but the entire Weasley family is so they really mesh together because the Fae are creatures that would be autistic if they were human in my headcanons, there's more but this is a lot and I have a terrifyingly bad memory https://www.instagram.com/p/CpC2G5VuyVR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[probably-lucifer]

This is what I've been trying to get across for ages now, I've been personally calling out JK for things since long before she decided to publicize her transphobic bs, i know the people that started half these conversations, i was there when the ancient words were written so-to-speak.

We all were having critical conversations about the anti-Semitism, and the racist recasting and absence of black people, and the homophobia, we all, or at least a lot of us were taking about it. The were subcultures built entirely around adding comfort and care and love for this series, people were talking about how disabilities would be treated in Hogwarts and writing the fic of it, Hermione and Harry have been painted a thousand different races from black to white to Indian to anything our minds can come up with to nothing specific at all. We have always been a diverse fandom and i think it sucks that we are not allowed to grieve it at all.

I wanted a Harry Potter box set of pretty books my entire life, I'm 27! I'll never be able to allow my black biracial trans bisexual (so many b's lol) self to give her money, or Warner Bros, and it fucking sucks.

I wish i could but... Jk sucks and no one seems to understand the death of the author as a metaphor and frankly i don't know what to do except read the fanfiction and always always ALWAYS be critical of everything i grew up loving.

I was abused and i learned to hide in closets from these stories, i learned to stand up for myself from them, to fight for myself and others, and the fact that something that was capable of being such an amazing well drawn artfully thought out world was destroyed will never not hurt because when i say that's my safe space i mean it, it's the one thing my abuser didn't touch, the one thing I've got that was all mine, the one thing that i thought would never betray me... I hate being wrong, i hate the bitter taste in my mouth so-to-speak

What makes JKR's shitshow even harder to process is that she didn't just ruin a book series. Harry Potter was an entire subculture. Like Star Wars and Star Trek fans, Harry Potter fans dedicated their lives and careers to the series. I don't know if I'd call it "underground," but liking Harry Potter got you beaten up when I was in school, so it was more of a dedicated indie culture than a mass-appeal fanbase.

Harry Potter was so huge that fan works developed their own followings. Potter Puppet Pals racked up hundreds of thousands of followers and was nearly as relevant as the series itself. For fanfiction, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality got so big that it has a Wikipedia page. The band Harry and the Potters spawned the wizard rock music genre. A Very Potter Musical developed a fanbase and launched Darren Criss's career.

Harry Potter also has extensive ties to fandom history. Everyone in my generation (millennials) remembers coming home from school to read Harry Potter fanfiction on the Internet. Today, most people just post their stories on Wattpad or Archive of Our Own. But at the time, the fanbase was splintered between fanfiction.net and dozens of individual websites and forums, some made for specific ships. Since they all had individual hosts, a lot of those sites have been lost to time.

And there's the infamous My Immortal fanfiction, which is an Internet legend with people still searching for the author. Everybody read that one (and laughed at it) in middle school.

Pre-social media, fan sites like The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet had massive followings because they were one of few sources for news, theories, essays and fan content. Some of these sites still exist after being around for over a decade and building their own legacy.

Before Deathly Hallows came out, fans were so desperate to know what happened that Mugglenet published a book called What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7: Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Falls in Love and How Will the Adventure Finally End? Yep...Harry Potter was so big that people wrote separate books about what would happen in an upcoming book.

And that's not mentioning all the book release parties, Harry Potter-themed events, monuments, fan films, restaurants and even a theme park. A lot of fandoms have those, but Harry Potter infiltrated every aspect of popular culture.

Today, there's a thriving culture of "Harry Potter adults" with themed weddings, baby showers and Etsy stores. Putting your Hogwarts house in your Instagram bio is pretty much a prerequisite for joining the "bookish" community. Warner still produces new content, like the Fantastic Beasts series, although we've all seen what a disaster that's been.

Everyone has at least a few memories associated with Harry Potter even if it's just watching the movies. I had great memories associated with Harry Potter. But looking back at the subculture, history and thousands of fan works, it doesn't seem fun anymore. Studying the fandom or being part of it comes with an awkward tension because you don't want to seem like you're condoning JKR's bigotry but can't divorce her from the series. This subculture was spawned by a woman who turned her legacy of magic and wonder into one of abuse and hatred.

I don't expect people to write paragraphs about how much they hate JKR every time they post about Harry Potter, but it's still uncomfortable to see people make new content or wear their Harry Potter Etsy tote bags like nothing happened. Even if they clarify that they don't support her, it's just a weird, tense situation for everybody.

People dedicated years of their lives to running Harry Potter fan sites, writing fanfiction, cosplaying characters and making fan movies. If I were in that situation, I'd have a mild identity crisis. I'd ask myself "Did I waste all those years? Should I delete my content? Where do I go from here?"

So ultimately, JKR didn't ruin "just" a book series or even "just" a fandom. She tanked an entire culture, which inspired people to look at Harry Potter more critically. The issues that people brought to the light tainted the series's legacy even without JKR's personal issues.

Once, Harry Potter was a series for generations. Now, former fans hope that the series fades into irrelevancy. Unfortunately, JKR didn't just tarnish her legacy--she took decades of history, millions of fans and a worldwide subculture along with her.

[sxnshxnxxnddxxsxxs-fics]

i really do have complicated thoughts about my choice to make hermione mixed in and your heart love has such darkness.

like i like it for a couple of reasons

it makes hogwarts less white

she makes a really good narrative foil for tracey as the inverse of each other (wmbd and bmwd wise as well as class wise too.

but i also don’t like it because i’m really not changing her canon much which makes her the worst type of mixed kid. the fact that i’m not changing her canon is why in my opinion she has to be mixed (and mixed in a predominantly white community at that) instead of being just black.

to be clear the reason i don’t like it is because i just don’t like the type of mixed kid she would be, like that genre of mixed person is just not who i like to interact with.

BUT THE LAYERS OF NUANCE IT ADDS TO HER CHARACTER.

like chapter 33 has this brief mention of her and lavender (who is a darkskin black girl).

and hermione’s superiority complex when it comes to lavender through the lens of her being biracial and lavender being darkskin.

and the subversion that comes with lavender being the far more traditionally feminine one, thought when paired with hermione being a quintessential not like other girls girl things get a bit shaky.

also the added nuance when it comes to hermione and rules and being a goody two shoes so to speak it really gives you’ll be fine if you’re one of the good ones, like the white man sold her a dream.

this is a controversial take but hermione always studying, always having her head in a book, always being in the library, none of it is a sign of intelligence it’s just the manifestation of imposter syndrome.

but hermione has this huge superiority complex that comes from her self worth entirely hinging on her intelligence and her being told her entire life that she’s smarter than everyone else, pairing that with her being a white mum mixed raised in extremely white part of the home counties in an upper middle class household.

it’s a deadly combination.

also when it comes to a hermione who’s mixed but her canon just doesn��t change at all she essentially comes out as the love child of the coon and the tragic octoroon. which is why i don’t like her

The Temporary Spouse

The Temporary Spouse https://ift.tt/b2hVPKm by ingloriousgigi (theimperialpurple) Harry Potter has had enough of the wizarding world’s pressure and expectations.
