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.

"you kept all my letters" "i burnt all your letters" "but you kept them first"

is still one of the best things i will ever read

[expelliarmus]

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.

*me watching Harry Potter film 7 with my mom* she doesn't know I ship [REDACTED FOR OPs SAFETY]

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

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 read about it in a book when i was a precocious child

except it’s regulus black

(he’s so me)

[skyrigel]

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.

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?

@hprecfest Day 10: A Fest/Event Fic

Come Back...Be Here by @petalsthefish [Jily, M, AU: fluff and angst. Oneshot].

Written for the @cruelsummer-ficfest in 2022.

Summary: They've worked on the same movie set for years, but only just started to get to know each other after being seated together at a premier. Next thing they know, they're falling in love in the cruelest way.

A song made fic in the best possible way. Dear Petals, you did this song justice and made it come to life even more. So much that whenever I hear this song, the scenes that you wrote is what plays on my mind. 👌🏼💗🛫
