Questions? Send An Ask!

people don’t seem to understand that the ability to approach an issue in a “calm and mature way” is a privilege that comes from not being personally affected by it. minorities being upset and emotional during discussions of whether they deserve basic respect is not a flaw or weakness on their part you fucking idiots.

I meant the first Wizarding War! He was born 22 August 1976, and the war ended around 1981, so he'll have been a child back then

Oh shit, you’re right! I completely forgot that he must’ve been born during the first war. In that case, I think you might be onto something🤔

To the person who sent (through my Google Form) an extensively researched Hogwarts curriculum with sources and suggestions to check out other content creators who’ve worked on this as well:

CAN I KISS YOU?! CAN I HUG YOU?! YOUVE WON MY HEART NOW, HERE: ❤️🤲. THANK YOU! HAVE THE BESTEST DAY, I LOVE YOU!

Harry Potter Rewrite: Disabilities.

What kinds of disabilities would you like to see?

I’ve already got a lot of disabled characters, but I feel that I still need more. I don’t pretend to be an expert in this, my only physical disability is my deafness. I will, however, promise to do all the research I can and listen to whatever criticism you give me (keep it respectful, though).

Disabilities I’ve already included:

Deafness — One of them is fully deaf and communicates through sign language, they’re all about Deaf Power and such. I have another character that is deaf in one ear and learns about the Deaf community later on. Total: 2 people

Hemophilia — This condition will come as a result of inbreeding. For those who don’t know what it is, it is a blood clot disorder that causes spontaneous bleeding and also excessive bleeding when injured - a lot of European royals have historically had this as a result of inbreeding. Total: 1 person (so far)

Paraplegia — Obviously, this person is going to be a wheelchair user. If you don’t know what it is, it’s when a person is paralyzed from the chest down. One of my main characters will have this disability due to be dropped out of the window as a child — yes, this is a hint. Total: 2 people

Epilepsy — The person to have this will be an OC of mine. Total: 1 person

Schizophrenia — Won’t be mentioned quite as often as it probably should, but it’s somebody’s parent. Total: 1 person

Autism — I want to have several people on different sides of the spectrum, so far, I only have two autistic people, but I’m working on more. Total: 2 people (so far)

Blindness — This one you’ll be seeing most often. We have different people who are all legally blind, though they’ve got different types of blindness. Total: 3 people

Chronic Pain — The people with this will all have different ways to alleviate the pain. One will use a cane during their youth and later on use a wheelchair on particular bad days. Another will use a cane only when the pain is too much to move much. The last one won’t suffer it too bad. Total: 3 people

Dyslexia — I’m sure everyone knows what this is. This person is a pureblood so they wouldn’t know that they had a disability and genuinely thought they just weren’t smart. Later on, they’ll find out what was happening and they’ll have friends to help them find spells to read easily. Total: 1 person

Limb loss — My character was born without one of their legs, but they don’t let it stop them from doing what they truly love — dancing. They have a prosthetic leg they tried using magic on but didn’t work because it became sentient. Total: 1 person

PTSD — This one is going to be seen a lot, there are going to be muggle war veterans as well as magical war survivors. This is going to be a major theme once we dive into the actual war. Total: A shit-ton of people

Migraines — These can be debilitating, it’s horrible, and I thought I should include it. So far, only one person has it. Total: 1 person (so far)

Disabilities I know about, but haven’t researched:

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) — a condition that affects blood flow. POTS causes the development of symptoms — usually lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat — that come on when standing up from a reclining position and relieved by sitting or lying back down. Which character do you see having this?

Are there any more disabilities missing? Let me know! The whole point of this rewrite is to be able to see ourselves better within these beloved characters.

wait i don't understand - https://thesoftrainbows.tumblr.com/post/669930297514704896/you-really-do-be-putting-yourself-in-the-same

I’d be more than happy to explain, but can you specify what it is that you don’t understand?

I have some advice for a way to portray the Marauders and Snape's relationship! They bullied him, but Snape was never defenseless (except for That Prank) and I think it started from some animosity on the train during their first year, them Snape continued to be a jerk. Snape seemed to be the only person that they were constantly picking on, so must've done something to earn their ire. They were pranksters, but not normally bullies. Most of the students and teachers had mostly good things to say about them.

I think a good way to portray it is that the Marauders and Snape constantly being at each other's throats in small, petty ways. The Marauders would only go after Snape when he deserved it or was being extra bloodcult-y. They were bullies because they all ganged up on him, but I don't think that was always the case.

I think they had some kind of moral code - they were Gryffindors after all, if nothing else, their honor would've stopped them from always going after him physically - so it was usually just one on one or two to one. The others would be the lookouts, or help them plan. They'd insult him and he'd fire right back.

Most of their pranks were harmless, I think, except for The Prank. Mostly cutting words and petty actions that didn't mean much at the time, but mounted up to he quite annoying.

Hope this helps!

Hey Anon!

Firstly, thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it.

Secondly, I've been interacting with some Snape stans because I wanted him to be humanized. Snape, as well as the Marauders, are going to have a lot of flaws, but also a lot of good traits. There are going to be times in which the Marauders prank Snape unprovoked. There are going to be other times where it is going to be Snape who's going after them.

We're going to see a lot of Snape's softer side during their fifth and sixth years, after his relationship with Lily ends. Lily will be grieving for their lost friendship, and will sometimes talk about fond memories with Snape. I don't want to spoil it too much, that is all you'll be getting.

Now, Snape is not going to be defenseless. He will lash out and get his revenge when he feels is needed. But neither will the Marauders. For the majority of the story, it's going to be a mutual rivalry, until the moment they humiliated him in front of the school - this incident is going to shift something within a lot of people, for the better or for the worst.
