YESS!!

this xeno characterisation is so dear to me

Favourite loser? 🤨 Like actual losers, not just "well, they're weird". You seem like a Peter person

Okay, starting off by saying I love this ask!!

When I think of losers in the marauders era I wouldn't immediately think of Peter, or at least not the way I hc him. But I do love him in his own special way, but not a loser way. I think there are more losery losers out there.

Like Xenophilius. Man is a humanoid string of cooked spaghetti who loves conspiracies and everything thinks he's a freak. He doesn't have many friends beyond Pandora and Barty (who is also perpetually perceived as being a loser), so he spends a lot of time on his own muttering to himself.

He goes on to be the editor of a magazine that 99% of the wizarding community thinks is nonsense and is mostly ignored. Pandora and Luna regularly have to try and convince him that he's not a loser, not fully believing their own words. He tried to start a Hogwarts student magazine but it was just him, nobody else signed up, or at least not using real names.

He sits in corners of Hogwarts writing things down in his little notebook with his long limp hair that he has to be persuaded to cut and wash, and when he's not in uniform he dresses in clothes that nobody else wears from odd muggle stores in the depths of London.

Some people say he's wacky and zany but I think my boy Phil is a certified loser. He sits down at the Ravenclaw table and people get up and move away from him. He's vibing in his own world doing his little dance like at Bill and Fleur's wedding with his yellow clothes and odd throat singing and pisses the common room off because he refuses to keep it to the confines of his dorm.

In the wise words of Alex, "Phil is the real odd fuck".

currently seeing Paramore live and ok pop off Marlene McKinnon

and what if i say canibalism is my favorite romance trope then what??

THIS!!

call me problematic but the death eaters will always be the more compelling characters to me specifically BECAUSE they exist in a narrative with such rigid black/white morality; because they are considered evil as fact; because they are punished as individuals for the way a system made them; because they are offered no avenues for redemption!

every glimpse of humanity & personhood from one of the cartoonishly-evil disposable background villains (bella’s petnames for her sister, peter’s friendship with james, barty’s skill as a teacher, the carrows’ love for each other, regulus’s note) automatically carries INFINITELY more weight than any dramatic gryffindorish act of heroism BECAUSE it comes shining out from a vacuum. lock me up!!! you should be feeling empathy for them!! do you see how humanity becomes more textured when applied to characters that we, as readers, are meant to disregard as monsters. should i call mary shelley

some could say... my evil plan is working 😼
