Have you ever considered just writing your own stuff rather than plagiarizing someone else's

I do write my own stuff, I just write fanfic on my spare time (which is a lot, these days). Also, as much as I hate it, credit for the HP series is still going to be given to her so I don’t get sued :)

the anon that was going on about estrogen was so close to the point but just veered off to the left 💀

yes the human's (and other animals') sex is determined by a lot of factors, it's like a big and complex assembly line, you know what else that means? there can be "mistakes" (for the record trans people are not mistakes, i love yall, im just using the word to work with the analogy) from many different factors, a message with a typo that changes the instructions, a misreading of the instructions, hell even enviromental factors can upset the process

also "trans women dont naturally produce estrogen" honey, UH-HONEY! men and women both have testosterone and estrogen because they're more than "sex hormones", these hormones have other purposes too. in amab men for example, insufficient estrogen levels can cause erectile dysfunction, lower libido, excess fat (nothing wrong with that imo, just listing all effects to show that the hormones have influence on the body regardless of sex) and most importantly loss of bone matter and osteoporosis.

its true that on the average, afab women produce more estrogen and amab men produce more testosterone, but that's just it, AVERAGES.

it's not too uncommon for cis men to have naturally high estrogen levels and for cis women to have naturally high testosterone levels (*cough cough* Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi in the last olympics *cough cough*)

terfs really are the karens of biology, talking on stuff they don't understand.

Lol the book's murderer had a guy wearing a coat and hat that made it hard to tell who he was/what gender he was. There was literally nothing about him crossdressing or being trans. Maybe you should actually research stuff before parroting the crowd.

I found this link that I think you might benefit from it. It shows that racism and transphobia are very much present in the Strike series.

Also, someone else pointed out in a comment on my previous post (the link to their profile) another terrible fact: JK Rowling’s pen name for her newer books, Robert Galbraith, is actually the name of a man who pioneered Gay Conversion Therapies.

Upon hearing about this, I immediately looked it up and found that it was true. I picked this article because I thought it explained beautifully just how harmful Gay Conversion Therapies really were. While the author of the article seemed to be willing to chalk it up to a very unfortunate coincidence, I will not for the following reasons:

Let’s say she didn’t know Robert Galbraith was a real person, it was still JK Rowling’s responsibility to check whether her desired pen name was a real person or not.

After she “found out” about who this monster was, her only reaction was to claim she didn’t know and then continue using the pen name as if nothing. This is disgusting.

Is this enough research for you?

Reblog if you will answer LITERALLY ANY anon questions.

Harry Potter Rewrite.

I’m just going to reinvent the Harry Potter world as a whole, because with each new detail I add to my fic, i stray further away from canon. Like, there’s just so many plot holes with simple solutions, and I just refuse to write stories in a world where they would shit right on the spot and then carry on like nothing. I refuse.

Now, is there any plot hole about the worldbuilding that bugs you? Tell me about it, maybe try to explain a solution you have as well?

Do you have a specific headcanon that diversifies the character/plot? Let me know!

I wanna hear all of the ideas you may have, and I’ll do my best to portray it in a way that makes sense for the era.

Reblogged, refreshed my page, forgot I reblogged this, saw this again, was about to reblog it, noticed that it was me that reblogged it, reblogged anyways

I’m curious...

reblog if what jkr says is no longer canon to you 

Hey, so they’re making a Netflix Harry Potter.

With that in mind, we’re all gonna remember that JKR is a terf who has literally been cited by legislators engaged in legislation that actively harms trans people, and we’re not gonna give her any more money.

That means not streaming the new show on Netflix, because regardless of how much influence she has on the production, she gets paid for it.

We’re gonna make the show flop. We’re gonna show Warner Brothers that we don’t forget (of course, how would we forget, it isn’t as if she’s stopped), and that their business association with terfs is no longer profitable.

It is NOT like Lovecraft, because Lovecraft is very dead and his works are in the public domain. By consuming Lovecraft media, you are not giving any money to old Howard.

White allies and white leftists and liberals need to read this.

In regards to posts about racism or intersectionality with race involved you MUST listen. Not respond. LISTEN

What I have seen so many white “allies” do is add onto posts (my own included) to put their own thoughts and opinions. In some cases take the words of the original poster and try to “translate” what is being said to other white people.

You are ACTIVELY taking away the voices of poc and speaking over them when you do this. When you tack on your own personal anecdotes or try to to give a definition of what a person or color is saying you are in the simplest of ways insulting their intelligence

Moños/Moñitos

I have a question. What do you call these three things? They have different names depending on where you live, and I’m curious.

Beta-Readers Needed!

Before I publish the first few chapters of my rewrite series, I’m looking for at least five beta readers who’ll check my work for any inconsistencies, typos, and any other errors that might be found.

ੈ✩‧₊˚ If you are interested, you can message me so that I can ask you a couple of questions. If I feel that you may work well with me, I’ll ask for your email.

ੈ✩‧₊˚ If you are not interested, but know someone that might be, then you can either send them this post or tell me about them so that I can ask them myself. I’ll be asking a couple of simple questions and, if I feel we’d work well, then I’ll ask for their emails.

ੈ✩‧₊˚ REMEMBER! This part of the rewrite is centered around the Marauders & Co. (the romance is Wolfstar-focused, although romance isn’t the main theme). There’s going to be a lot of diversity in terms of race, gender, and disabilities. Also, Snape is going to be a complex, humanized character.

ੈ✩‧₊˚ If I can find someone who is Indian, Japanese, French, and/or Welsh to call me out in case I make any mistakes (I’ve been studying these cultures for years whenever I can, but I’m not perfect) that would be amazing.

ੈ✩‧₊˚ Finally, any and all Beta-Readers I end up picking will be credited each chapter I post.
