Hello! I hope you don’t mind me sending a request/idea via ask! :) For your re-write of the main series, I would love to see Sirius, Remus, and Harry get the happiness they deserve. They were done such an injustice in Roach’s series, because they had a lot of potential that was just wasted. I’d love to see Sirius get his name cleared at some point in your re-write series, and then he and Remus able to take custody of Harry. Then they become the mentors and parental figures he always wanted and needed to help him on his journey.
I would never mind anyone leaving asks or making suggestions! If anything, I love them!
Anyway, Remus and Sirius will get a much better ending regardless of whether they become Hari’s guardians or not. Although the story might indeed favor them as parents, since it’s what most of you seem to want.
You can read the first two chapters of the story now if you want, it might take me a minute to get to the third and the rest of the story due to college being a lot more hectic than i’d originally thought it would be. I’m still trying to find a good balance between school, socializing, and writing.
Thank you, Anon, for the wonderful request!
Wait, if you're still taking suggestions, can you do a Slytherin-Gryffindor friendship? It doesn't have to be Draco because it'll take a lot of rewiring to make that work, but maybe someone like Millicent who isn't as hard-headed? Or maybe more Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff rep, especially more inter-house friendships. I think it'll be funny if at some point, one of them goes to sit at another house's table because "they're my friend 😐 and there's no rule against it except for like on three days of the year. stop looking at me weird"
Yes, I’m still taking suggestions!
I actually plan on having some OCs in my rewrite because most of the Slytherins in the books are explicitly part of Malfoy’s gang, therefore wannabe DEs. But, I can definitely try and have someone like Millicent be friends with another student of a different House/Gryffindor (they’d have to be pureblood, but yes).
As for the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw rep, I’ve already developed several students for both Houses for the Marauders and Golden Eras. I think they’d be so fun to write. I’m so excited!
Harry Potter Rewrite: Religion.
The original Harry Potter series was heavily influenced by the Christian religion. I never thought it made much sense, so I decided to make it so that the majority (especially purebloods and half-bloods) practice paganism. They’ll have their own traditions and festivals and holidays.
There will be other students who don’t practice paganism, but that enjoy some of their holidays. So far, some of the students (in the Marauders’ Era, since that’s what I’m working on at the moment) who aren’t Pagans are:
1. James Potter—Hinduism
2. Peter Pettigrew—Atheist
3. Severus Snape—Atheist, but has Catholic leanings due to his muggle father
4. Lily Evans—Atheist, family is Catholic
Of course, other religions such as Judaism, Islam, and many more, will be included. I’m just currently doing my research on these religions so that I can portray them well. Any help or suggestion is welcomed.
Any thoughts?
Hi, what are your thougths about Draco Malfoy? I really like your rewrite, but I always feel like Draco could be like, the catarsis of a familiar chain. The one who survived his family toxicity and became a better person. I'm just saying he had potential.
Hey Anon! I apologize for taking a bit to respond, I haven’t been on Tumblr very much. But this is an excellent question, so thank you for the opportunity to discuss it!
Draco Malfoy is a complex character. He comes from a rich family that are proud members of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, who followed the Dark Lord until they couldn’t anymore. From afar, many would think that they’re the perfect example of evil people. However, as we look closer, all we see is fear.
We see Lucius trying to protect his son whenever Voldemort put him on the spot. We see Narcissa going behind the Lord’s back to protect her child. We see Draco being forced to do a lot of things out of fear and out of wanting to keep his family safe.
I believe that Draco really was as obnoxious as we meet him as in the first book/film. But, like all children, he grew up. As the war intensified, his actions became less about getting a reaction out of Hari and more about keeping himself and those around him alive—which is something that Hari fails to see at first.
I like the idea of Draco getting a redemption arc, but I don’t think it would be easy for him. I mean, sometimes I imagine him attempting to disappear into the muggle world for a few years where he learns a lot more about the world and himself. Who knows what he might have done during that time? Worked at a bakery shop? Maybe.
In my visions, though, Draco always comes back to the wixen world and becomes a Healer. He apologizes for his wrongdoings and is actively looking to make things better.
Do Hari and Draco become friends or more? I’m not sure yet, but it certainly doesn’t happen until a couple of years after the war’s over.
On a somewhat different note, this is one of the things I love about the rewrite. I get to explore so many different family dynamics and how the kids respond to it. Some people change for the better, others for the worst, and others don’t change at all. It’s interesting to see how I slowly watch them unfold and bloom.
Really, JKRoach used werewolves to represent AIDS, which comes off as homophobic because we’re talking about people who mostly target children to infect them. And since AIDS has been thought of as an illness transmitted through sex, and a lot of people didn’t do anything about it for a long time because it was killing off the gays, well. They only moved to find a cure when they realized that straight people were also getting sick from AIDS, too.
But mostly, I was referring to how she said werewolves aren’t affected by silver and such, but she can’t tell me what to do so my werewolves are affected to silver lol
Am I throwing whatever JKRoach wrote about werewolves out the window for the sake of my fic? Yes, yes I am.
Being in college is like riding a bike. Except the bike is on fire. So is your money, your brain, your soul, and your will to live. And I’m barely passing my classes because they told me to read this article and then I didn’t but still aced the test yet my assignments are not doing so well. College is great, guys.
Not the same anon but honestly feminists have the right to focus their movement on the rights of female people, it’s literally in the name. Trans activism is for trans people. A liberation movement needs to stay focused, or nothing will be accomplished.
That’s true. However, while the trans activism is made for all different genders within the community, these radfems are excluding a group of women simply because there was a glitch in nature for them.
I really don’t think including trans women is going to derail our purpose as feminists or anything of the sort. In fact, we seem to be doing quite fine with our fellow cis and trans women. A lot of our struggles as vagina-havers are different depending on our race, which country we are in, whether we’re disabled or not, and whether we even identify as women.
Wouldn’t it be absolutely beautiful to be one united front instead of pitting ourselves against other groups of women just because they’re different?
Harry Potter Rewrite: Help!
I’ve been outlining more or less what I want the final result for my Harry Potter rewrite to look like but I’m stuck on two outcomes of Hari’s childhood:
NOTE: I have a headcanon in which the Potters are Indian, so James names his son Hari. I think I mentioned this before, if I didn’t, feel free to ask about it.
Petunia’s marriage starts falling apart when Lily dies.
Vernon didn’t let her go to her sister’s funeral because he was sure that the place would be crawling with “freaks”. Even if Petunia begged, he would still prevent her from going.
Vernon made nasty comments about Lily and James’ death, saying that they’re two less freaks to worry about.
Eventually Petunia leaves her husband and moves back in with her parents (who are alive in this version).
Petunia decides to go to college, a decision supported by her parents since they promised to help her financially and with the boys.
She studies to become an English teacher.
She loves her job. Also, she might fall in love with the History teacher.
She remarries, and it’s a man who treats her right and is good with the boys.
Both boys are treated equally while with her.
Dudley and Hari get along well. Although whenever Dudley returns from his weekends at his father’s, they fight a lot.
Hari grows up knowing he’s a wizard and knowing (more or less, because Petunia didn’t have all the details) what had happened to his parents.
Many more…
Remus, along with several other people who believed Sirius was innocent, start protesting and putting pressure on the Ministry so that they can give Sirius a proper trial.
Sirius is renamed innocent.
Dumbledore still refuses to hand Hari over to them, even though they were the rightful guardians of the child.
The last straw is when Dumbledore casually corrects them and says that Hari’s name has been changed to Harry.
They whitewashed his name. They were livid.
Remus and Sirius, along with some handpicked friends to help them, manage to kidnap Hari.
They take him to Wales, further away from Remus’ former home. They cast an insane amount of spells to hide themselves from Dumbledore. They were untraceable.
Other than the protections needed, they lived a muggle life.
They have other children (the names I’m still working out), there’s five kids in total.
Two of those children are werewolves, attacked at a young age by another wolf pack that’s not Fenrir Greyback. They—Remus, especially—wanted to bring them comfort when he found out about them.
Hari lives in a loud, chaotic household in the middle of nowhere.
Lyall Lupin eventually moves in with them because Remus worried for his father—the man was old and alone.
And many more…
NOTE: The outcome of the votings will determine the overall plot of Hari’s era. Choose wisely, what do you want to see?
If anyone has any ideas on specifics, that would help me immensely. If you’re a trans person and are interested in developing this ceremony and the Verosui with me, you’re more than welcome to. Credit will be given, of course.
Verosui.
[ veros: “genuine” (Greek); sui: “self” (Latin). ]
OFFICIAL NAME. Verosui
ALSO KNOWN AS. The Holy Messenger OR The Amender
SIZE. 14.5 in
DIET. They eat berries, but they also enjoy eating arthropods and small invertebrates such as spiders, scorpions, centipedes and such.
ABOUT THEM. There used to be an ancient ceremony where whenever someone announced that they were born in the wrong body, they would contact the Goddess via a song so that She would send her beloved pet, the Verosui, to right her wrong. The Amender would arrive a week after the song, to perform its magic. During this week, the village or family would gather around in prayer so that the Amender will show its holy compassion as a sign of compassion towards the sufferer.
Once the Amender arrives, they shall see if a person’s true self would be what they claim. If they deem it necessary, they shall begin the performance of sex reassignment, which really involves powerful magic being used while they fly in circles around their target. It is said that the experience is a mixture of thrilling and painful, so it would really depend on who the person is.
Unfortunately, this ceremony was banned in 1903 by the Minister of Magic at the time — K. Rowl. Ever since then, the wixes were forced to forget about this ceremony since they would be persecuted if they attempted to relieve a sufferer’s pain. Sufferers were soon scorned and mocked if they came out.
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.
who was gonna tell me that writing takes longer than i thought and part of my emotional stability?
