Follow me, I'll post stories that have this dynamic sooner or later. If you want something specific drop me a message.

Dumbledore: clearly tom riddle was evil from birth bc he stole stuff in the orphanage

Also Dumbledore: pay no attention to those letters between me and my boyfriend plotting world domination

My favourite thing about this fandom is that the canon story has so many characters that are just bad guys - no explanation, no questions, they’re just bad. But this fandom takes those characters and loves them and adds backstory and reasons why those characters mad those “bad” decisions because no one is born a “bad guy” right? Not Reggie, not Barty, not Bella, not even Tom :) And the idolized and well-renowned characters like Dumbledore? We take them down a notch, because no one is born perfect either. I love that. It makes it all feel so much more human and approachable and accepting.

Reblog if you feel the same! I feel like this aspect of the fandom needs some love :)

After seeing about 50 'Dumbledore is evil' and 'everything is Dumbledore's fault' and 'but why didn't Dumbledore did this or the other' posts in a row, I find myself wishing Dumbledore just fucked off to somewhere nice and sunny in '81, early retirement (or is it early if he's already 100?) and washed his hands off magical Britain entirely.

Some of y'all sound like Fudge with your Dumbledore bashing. I wish, at least, Dumbledore would have left when Fudge and that corrupt as hell Ministry did their best to ruin his name and his image.

Pack up his ancient shit and move to a nice beach somewhere, with his pet bird and a huge bag of candy.

This way, my man Voldemort could have won in like five minutes, and Harry would be dead, Voldemort would rule supreme, Bella would keep being the queen she is, and my little Voldemort shaped heart would be happy.

But no, Dumbledore stayed, orchestrated Voldemort's downfall by giving Harry step by step instructions, gave up his own life in the process, made sure Harry would keep his, because apparently that's what 'evil men' do instead of retiring in comfort.

Not only Harry wouldn't have survived without Dumbledore, but he most likely wouldn't even exist without Dumbledore. Because, you know, this evil man is also the one that took down another dark lord back in the day; if Grindelwald would have won, there would be no Lily, most likely. Thus no Harry.

But yes, go get your 'Dumbledore is evil' badges- I hear Fudge and Umbridge are leaders of the hate club, I'm sure they'll receive new followers with open arms. Draco is probably the secretary, because he hates Dumbledore, too, and he likes making badges.

Also, can someone explain to me how Dumbledore, the only gay man in canon, became the fandom's resident homophobe? That's just weird, my friends. Very weird, to say the least. It gets even nastier when you say he 'groomed' students. That's an awful thing to throw around about a gay dude, you know?

There are so many reasons one can dislike Dumbledore for, but you do have the option to not like a flawed character without turning them into a ridiculous caricature of themselves.

P.S: I am not talking about fics. Write your fics and your characters however you want, whatever makes you happy. Your fic is your domain, and you do whatever you want in there, hopefully with no asshole to attack you in the comments. Same with reading- read what you want, bashing or no bashing. Have the best of fun!

I am talking about these 'meta' type posts on social media, tagged with "Albus Dumbledore", where they act as if canon Dumbledore was legit evil, incompetent or homophobic.

fem!ggad AU where they don't meet in the 1890s but instead 1920s America in a speakeasy and dance to jazz. Gertrude ( Gellert ) comes to America seeking political allies in the early days of her movement yet meets Alba ( Albus ) who is visiting her aunt Honoria in America, whom moved there in the 1910s after suffering an embarassing engagement scandal. ( aka healing my sapphic self )

As much as I don't agree with the Dumbledore is the reason for everything that is wrong in the world trope — we have to agree that wizarding world failed both Voldemort and Harry. And Dumbledore had a hand in it; and things could have gone a lot different if, say some different choices were made by some people in power who decided to not do anything.

See, we all agree Dumbledore is not a god, nor could he have helped everyone. We can agree that we don't know much about his and Tom's relationship so we can't really talk about that. But, what we can talk about is his and Harry's relationship. This man left him, a child at the door of a family that hated the word "magic". And worse part is, even after knowing they don't like him — he still insisted that Harry returned to them without even trying to check on him. And the horrible, horrible thing about that is; Dumbledore could have — checked on harry or made someone else do it, in the 11 years of his life. And even more horrible than that is he did make someone check on him, he knew Harry wasn't treated right and he just did not care enough.

He might have created an elaborate plan to make sure Harry survived, but he also made an elaborate plan to make sure Harry doesn't have any self-esteem left when he does.

So good!!

I almost didn't read this as I was expecting it to be just an altered Beauty and the Beast story.

But while it is part of the whole it is a small almost background part.

Excellent job interweaving fairy tale/ Fables into the Harry Potter universe.

The Stories must be told but at same time forgotten so that History can be repeated and the magic kept alive.

Harry Potter: Talking about how the protection his mother left him would also be part of Voldemort now, and how Voldemort could touch him (ch. 36 The Goblet of Fire)

Dumbledore: *having a gleam of something like triumph in his eyes (ch. 36 of The Goblet of Fire)*

Me:

Hey wait a second. Voldemort says that because the memory charm placed on Bertha Jorkins was so powerful, the methods he had to use to break through it and extract the truth from her left her permanently physically and mentally damaged. Dumbledore says that he extracted the true Tom Riddle memory from Morfin shortly before Morfin died. Surely Tom also was able to cast a very powerful memory charm on Morfin. So what methods did Dumbledore use to extract it? Maybe that's why Morfin died shortly thereafter.

Absolutely 1000% not the intended reading or implication here. But it's an interesting thought from an in-universe pov...

oh. oh they are so very smart but they use their smart powers for evil which is their version of using it for good. oh no.

I’m in Slytherin, and one thing I’ve never understood is if you went to a school where you were mercilessly bullied and tortured no one stood up for you or protected you, would you not leave after your fifth year and never return to that awful school. Even if you were a genius of said school?

I guess that Sev and the rest of the slytherins stayed for two reasons, either Hogwarts was so prestigious that their families would shun them if they left (the purebloods), or because they had nowhere else to go (Sev).

I mean, Severus was 15 (16?) during his 5th year, and I believe 16 in the scene after his OWLs. Since he lived in an industrial-style mill town, and he was far more of an intellectual person, I suspect that he didn't have a summer job or anything, or even if he did, it would likely be very low paying, and the money would be used to buy his school supplies every year. If he left Hogwarts he'd either have to go back to his abusive father, or live on the streets like a common muggle (like his father who he hates). While he'd have his OWLs by then, he's still a minor, so he can't do magic outside of school.

So basically tldr: the slytherins either wanted to maintain good relations with their pureblood families, or had nowhere else to go if they left Hogwarts, and they likely thought that if they stayed they could become great and powerful and such, exactly why Voldemort found it so easy to groom them into becoming his followers.
