Y'know I've been trying to think of a franchise that has been as influential on younger kids' lives as Harry Potter was for my generation, and then it hit me: Minecraft. Harry Potter was the Minecraft of the 90s/00s.
...and then I remembered. Wasn't the Minecraft creator a really shitty person? Causing all those jokes about Minecraft being made by Hatsune Miku and all that? And yet I've never seen anyone talked down to for openly liking Minecraft? Hmmmmmm.

i saw a post that was, like, well, one reason kids latched onto HP so much was because it was about kids in school who had to worry about classes and homework, and, like, maybe i would buy that if any of the protagonists gave a shit about their classes and homework besides the solitary Girl Friend whose narrative job it was to always be really annoying and obnoxious about it, but that was. uh. not the case.

i understand your attachment to the url. but keep in mind that "separating the art from the artist" and calling people who criticize hp "children" is very disrespectful considering that jkr uses money she gets from hp to lobby against trans rights. in addition, hp at its core is deeply flawed. the goblins are horridly antisemitic, the werewolf storyline is homophobic, cho chang's name is really shitty, etc.
as long as people continue to spread her brand, no matter how small the support is, she will make more money and use it to lobby against trans rights. this is something she herself has said on twitter.
i in no way think you mean any harm and i don't think you're a bad person. but it does hurt a little to see you inviting anons like the previous one into the space, who is calling jewish ppl/trans ppl/poc "children" for being upset over a valid issue.
do what you want about your url, but we at this point can not separate the art from the artist.
Yes, I'm sorry, I should have been more clear in my answer to that last anon. I really was only saying thank you to the comment about my gifs (and I was answering it at 6 in the morning). I am aware of and acknowledge all of the flaws that HP has, especially as a POC myself. At this point, no I don't think we can separate JKR from HP, especially since she is still alive and, like another anon in my ask box says, that she sees interaction with her work as people agreeing with her views.
I do think about changing my url often, and when I can come across the right one, or an idea comes to mind, then I will make the leap and do it. I don't have any other saved urls atm other than my Pokemon sideblog. I know the attachment I have to the url is not the best reason to keep it, but like I said earlier, if it does really bother anyone, please unfollow me and make your tumblr a safe space for yourself. My blog will continue to be focused on DW and I will continue to make my gifs as I've been doing for the last 12 years.

Ship or Sink: James and Lily(Harry Potter’s parents)?
ship! i've always been fascinated by their dynamic, and how tragic it truly is. plus when you really break it down it's got some of my favorite troupes- they clearly got pregnant on accident in the middle of the wizarding war (my favorite thing ever), lily was estranged from her sister for reasons beyond her control but still chose her to raise her son, you've got the whole pure blood x non pure blood drama. i've thought about exploring it within fic of my own (i've written young arthur x molly fic bc i also love them) but have never gotten around to it.

Sorted: Growing Up, Coming Out and Finding My Place by Jackson Bird
goodreads
Tumblr media
An unflinching and endearing memoir from LGBTQ+ advocate Jackson Bird about how he finally sorted things out and came out as a transgender man. When Jackson Bird was twenty-five, he came out as transgender to his friends, family, and anyone in the world with an internet connection. Assigned female at birth and raised as a girl, he often wondered if he should have been born a boy. Jackson didn’t share this thought with anyone because he didn’t think he could share it with anyone. Growing up in Texas in the 1990s, he had no transgender role models. He barely remembers meeting anyone who was openly gay, let alone being taught that transgender people existed outside of punchlines. In this “soulful and heartfelt coming-of-age story” (Jamia Wilson, director and publisher of the Feminist Press), Jackson chronicles the ups and downs of growing up gender-confused. Illuminated by journal entries spanning childhood to adolescence to today, he candidly recalls the challenges and loneliness he endured as he came to terms with both his gender and his bisexual identity. With warmth and wit, Jackson also recounts how he navigated the many obstacles and quirks of his transition––like figuring out how to have a chest binder delivered to his NYU dorm room and having an emotional breakdown at a Harry Potter fan convention. From his first shot of testosterone to his eventual top surgery, Jackson lets you in on every part of his journey—taking the time to explain trans terminology and little-known facts about gender and identity along the way.
Mod opinion: I haven't read this book and I personally definitely won't because this is one trans memoir that aged very, very badly due to how entrenched in the hp fandom it is.

i swear every single british actor 30+ is either in harry potter, harry potter adjacent projects or a worldwide popular harry potter fancast like that’s a whole culture right there
I mean legit, it's hard to think of a successful actor from the UK in those couple of generations that weren't in HP.

dress
best friends to lovers - James Potter x reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a/n: prompt is the song dress by taylor swift + dialouge promt "i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know."
cw: smut. fingering + heavy making out.
"I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off"
James held you close. Arm around your shoulder and drink in hand as you stood by the edge of the party. Music blasted throughout giggled conversations and drinks poured fast. You wanted him so bad, no needed him.
"i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know." your breath fanned over his neck slightly warm as you uttered those words, red stained lips falling into a slight smile.
James stood, his mouth slightly open as you smiled up at him. Your red mini dress clinging to your thighs, hardly covering anything. The music thumped through the floor making you all the more heady.
You'd done this on purpose. The sexiest dress you owned was needed, you were sick of pining and waiting for James, you had to take it into your own hands. His lips were soft against yours, the taste of your cherry soda melting into the kiss. Years of friendship, chaste kisses, and occasional hand holding all boiling down to this.
James pressed himself closer to you, your tits against his front. Before pulling you up to his dorm. Within minute you had James back on his bed pushing your dress up your thighs, placing kisses in its wake. As he righted himself you kissed his neck, the soft light of the dorm room beautifully illuminating his collarbone and jawline. James looked like a god. You pulled at his shirt, undoing the buttons as he laughed at your eagerness.
His laugh caught in his throat as you kissed him again, the desire visible in your eyes. His gentle hands cupped your pussy, rubbing circles. He kept his eyes on yours, watching you come apart on his fingers as he dipped them inside you.
"So pretty babe," He muttered before pressing his lips to yours once again. His palm was perfectly bumping against your clit with every thrust, his fingers hitting just the right spot. James watched you fall apart moaning softly into his gentle kisses.
You stayed with him all night, a beautiful friendship turning into something you'd both pined for for years.

I'll say it as many times as it needs to be said. There is absolutely miniscule actual harm that comes from engaging with Harry Potter in 2024. JK Rowling does not need money. Anything sent her way is less than a rounding error. And the book series was literally EVERYWHERE in the 90s and 2000s. Like it or not, it DID impact a whole generation of people - pretending that never happened is completely absurd, if not outright irresponsible. It happened. It's just a fact. Harry Potter is mainstream. There is nothing that can be done to 'promote' it. It's already there.
What all this obsession with HP on tumblr is about? An easy way to smugly define Good People from Bad People. Because if you *really* cared about trans people enough, you'd hate everything associated with Harry Potter. Regardless of how much you adored it when you were 8 and went to Harry Potter parties with your family all dressed up quoting book lines at one another in your most precious childhood memories because for once your special interest actually aligned with the people closest to you. No, all those positive associations should have been deleted instantly. If you *cared enough*, it would just *happen*.
Which is why a whole slew of people who previously had earnestly reblogged posts about Moral OCD and how bad tumblr can be about it were suddenly cackling about how buying Hogwarts Legacy was comparable to *refusing to throw The One Ring into Mordor, starting a war that would kill millions.* And how donating to a pro-trans charity (an act that would have VASTLY more impact than aforementioned rounding error) is comparable to 'donating to a pro-elf charity' in the wake of that.
Because tumblr doesn't actually give a shit about autistics or OCD sufferers. When we complain about stuff that they also dislike, they proudly reblog that and rage in the notes about how selfish and cruel and Individualist those other people on tumblr are!!! But the *second* they get to paint themselves as the ones with '''''good thoughts and feelings'''''' they take it, and make up posts about how HP likers 'believe they're the main character and everything should revolve around them.'
Is it actually about whether something causes harm? Or is it about dividing the world into Inherently Good People and Inherently Bad People? Is it actually about doing real good for the community and making the world a better place? Or is it about shaming people with the Wrong Emotions until they fucking hate themselves and spend hours upon hours ruminating on end trying to change themselves because their inability to let go of positive Harry Potter feelings is OBVIOUSLY evidence of a truly inescapably evil and cruel and wretched identity that the world would be better off without?
Which is it, actually? When it actually feels a little bit good to feel like you're on the Right Side of all of this, for once?

Sometimes, I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me, but you told James you'd kill yourself if I ever leave, and I had said that to Lily about you, so I felt seen. Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be.

Right? Hermione was very socially awkward and not super empathic or likeable, and she turns into the mom friend who has to constantly explain emotions and social situations to the boys(yknow cause she’s the girl). Whether that is natural character development or something that is out of the blue is subjective(I’d personally have to reread the books to be sure one way or the other). It obviously isn’t super jarring to most people otherwise more of them would’ve noticed it I guess but idk I think I would’ve liked to see the original more unconventional hermione in the later books :/
yeah, it’s a shame, because those traits were *exactly* what made hermione interesting (and, in the case of myself and several other socially awkward book-smart weirdos i knew as a kid, *actually* relatable), and they got softened and/or whittled down to nothing as the series went on. i blame the movies a lot for this, too, given how blatantly hermione was the favorite of steve kloves, and how allergic the movies were to letting her be complicated, or, gods forbid, wrong.
