#harry potter negative

[tarragonthedragon]

people approaching their trans friends demanding validation for harry potter content crimes are so pathetic though.

like you're not asking for permission to play the game or watch the show or whatever because you're going to do that no matter what impact it has on us or what we say. youre asking for someone to put aside all their feelings about their own safety and the people who want them dead in order to reassure you that you're still a good friend and a great person and a wonderful ally even though you won't change literally nothing about your life to justify that belief.

you literally can't handle the possibility of maybe having to feel guilty about your own choices.

Had this really handy sized crate/tray/thing with Harry Potter branding, which… y’know, I’m a trans man. So having it sat on my shelf didn’t feel great.

But! It was so useful I didn’t want to throw it out… so I spent my Sunday sanding it down and repainting it and now it makes me smile every time I see it. Plus I have somewhere to put all my washi tape. (So much washi tape)

(In retrospect I should have bought blue, pink, and white paint but I didn’t think of that until I was done.)

Unfriendly reminder that Harry Potter fans trying to follow me will immediately be blocked <3

I am a trans man and by choosing to participate in that series, you are telling me and other trans people you are unsafe <333

If you need to follow some sort of YA magical book series that fucking badly, read Percy Jackson

Tumblr recommended me a Harry Potter post what if that was my last straw

Jegulus thoughts:

I love jegulus, but I also want bully James. James who's a little cruel. Who's a little arrogant. He was a bully to Snape. So I want to see him be a little bit of a cruel bully to Regulus. Not as much mind you because that's Sirius brother. But I want to see it. Shy slytherin Regulus and bully gryffindor James. Shy slytherin Regulus who starts to stand up for himself and James liking that bit of fire. James slowly learning that not all slytherins are bad. That Regulus life is complicated and full of hard choices. Just for a change of pace I want James to be the cruel mean one. And Regulus to be the tiny light in the darkness that slowly grows bigger. Regulus liking attention even if it's negative attention from James because as Sirius brother and the spare heir no one really pays attention to him. Or at least the real him. No one ever wants to know. And yes it started as bullying, but James slowly wants to know. His obessesion with Lily and hurting Snape slowly moves to Regulus. All his attention both good and bad moves to Regulus. It's toxic at first, but they both crave the attention.

Why exactly are you collecting a folder of Moonpaw incest comments and post? Is it just to have proof against ppl going " Well I'VE never seen it happen so- " or? You don't have to answer I'm just curious.

It's primarily because I don't like making claims I can't back up, even if I never have to cite them. "Shadowboxing," when you make up a guy to get mad at and then fight him, is something I actually try to avoid for my own mental health. If I'm angry, I want to be angry at things that I know to be real. If I say this fandom has a problem, I want to call out the fandom for problems I have evidence it has.

That is one other reason, though. "I've never seen it happen" is something easily fixed with a screenshot.

I also pull them out when I'm talking to friends or on a more personal basis, like in a discord or a groupchat, so that we can mock and comment on it. Makes me feel better.

Sometimes I also do that therapy technique where I show a screenshot to a friend who isn't involved in WC, and ask them, "IS this a messed up thing to say? AM I overreacting to this?" to try and make sure I remain grounded. I've had anger issues from a young age and one of the ways I've learned to manage that is by checking with others, to make sure that my response is proportionate.

TL;DR Several reasons.

If i preface something as “With respect” that is code for “Part of me disliked what you said so fucking much it wants me to bite you like a crocodile, but i’m choosing kindness and not saying that.”

wow i can't believe hatsune miku wrote the l'manberg anthem and the dsmp lore, she's so creative and fun!

[dropoutconfessions]

holy fucking shit that mismag anon that ended with the nails emoji. idrc about the discourse one way or another, but that message was so tonedeaf. theres a reason people are wary at best and extremely negative at worst about hp related things. framing it as a personal character flaw that someone cant enjoy hp now is a weird take

I'd love to hear your thoughts about Percy! What is your opinion on him in general? Do you like how his character arc was handled by JKR? What are your thoughts on popular fandom takes about Percy (him being a terrible disgrace to the Weasley family for siding with the Ministry/Voldemort; him being a secret hero of the rebellion who deserved better; etc)? And your thoughts on Percy ships? Who, if anyone, do you ship him with?

I think he’s wicked awesome and way too hated, I will genuinely defend him with my life. If my family treated me that badly I’d tell them to fuck off too, he was literally so excluded from his family because he wasn’t some Quidditch-loving jock and actually preferred to study and stay indoors. And he got mocked consistently just because he wanted a bright future. Sure he may appear a bit stuck-up to those who don’t know him well, but his family?? Plus after he legitimately got the job of his dreams, his father’s immediate reaction was to tell him he didn’t actually earn it and that it was all just a ploy. I would actually be so hurt. Like sure Arthur did end up being right, BUT YOU COULD’VE SAID IT A BIT DIFFERENTLY?? A simple “you earned it anyway, son” or “I’m proud of you” would’ve sufficed, alongside an explanation of why Percy MIGHT have gotten the job. He went about it way too harshly, if I got shut down like that after getting the job I’ve been working for my whole life, I’d have done a lot worse.

And I totally get Percy’s resentment, he felt as though his father wasn’t reaching his full potential due to his proud showcase of Muggle-fangirling. And since he (Arthur) was basically the sole provider in a large family that lived in poverty, I can see why Percy would feel frustration towards his father. Plus why do people act as if Percy was always “so horrible” even before he “abandoned” his family? He literally went RUSHING to Ronald when he got out of the lake in GoF and refused to let go of him, and he loved Ginny to death. He was protective of his younger siblings and was pretty funny imo, it’s hard not to sympathise with him when he has siblings like Fred and George.

He genuinely deserved so much better, he was constantly shut down for his accomplishments and cared so much for his siblings despite their mocking, plus he still came back to apologise to them and then proceeded to see his baby brother die in front of him????? How could you hate him after DH?? I don’t think he’s a disgrace to his family at all, sure he was shitty to Molly but, with what he must’ve been going through at the time, I get it. And any resentment he felt towards his family was completely and utterly justified. Plus he literally apologised, so even if you disagree with what I’m saying and think he’s scum or whatever, he legit still apologised to them? He still redeemed himself? Whatever he’s supposedly done that you hate him for, he redeemed himself for it. And I feel like people forget how young Percy was when all this happened? He’s only like 4 years older than Harry and was still 18/19 when all the family drama occurred, and he held a huge responsibility in the ministry. And having grown up as the lone middle child with the burden of knowing his family isn’t respected much must’ve had a tremendous influence on someone as ambitious as Perce. People should really see things from his perspective sometimes. Imo the only genuinely shitty things he’s done is 1. his treatment of Molly 2. his letter to Ron about Harry (but even then, I completely understand why Percy said what he said), anything other than that is usually just exaggerated by his haters.

One character he’s always reminded me of is Alex Dunphy from Modern Family (*tries to summon Modern Family fans*), she was also the odd one out in her family because she was super studious and introverted. And she had a desperate need to prove herself and was very ambitious, much like Perce. Her meltdowns and extreme studying was treated as a joke to the viewers and her sister Haley constantly made fun of her for it. She reminds me a lot of him tbh, which is why I love both characters so much.

lol this was supposed to be a quick short ask explaining why I love him and who I ship him with, and it resulted in a whole rant 😭 that’s usually how I get whenever his name gets brought up. Also Nonnie, I ship Percy with Oliver :D and I think he and Penelope Clearwater really deserved more screentime, they were such a delightful couple imo.

And thanks for the ask btw, I missed talking about him!!

Man at this point if you aren’t aware of how shitty JKR is you’re living under a rock. Stop supporting Harry Potter, stop trying to separate the art from the artist when she’s still actively profiting off the art.

I think one of the reasons I don't like jily is because Lily has ONLY been seen as James' girlfriend or wife or Harry's mother for SO LONG until recently. She deserves to have a life and be seen outside of those relationships.

Also I'm a lesbian so whenever a fictional female character breathes I shove my lesbianism down their throats so I've decided in my infinite lesbian knowledge that Lily is one.
