So It’s Been A While…

Reblog if you will answer LITERALLY ANY anon questions.

BRING IT ON

It makes me so angry that the first letters Harry receives refer to where he lives, which is under the cupboard. So they knew he was being abused, they knew and they did nothing about it. How can people think Hogwarts was so great when he knowingly sends children to their abusive homes? Ugh.

Someone disagreeing with your lifestyle doesn’t make them an awful or hateful person, how they treat the people they disagree with does. And if you treat them badly because you disagree with their views, you might be the hateful one.

You’re right, it does depend on how that person deals with someone else’s different opinion.

Here’s the difference between me and JK Rowling:

ROWLING.

Uses the money she’s earned from her books to support people who harms the Trans community.

Uses her large platform to spread hate and misconceptions of the Trans community in the name of “feminism”.

Uses the name of a man who pioneered the gay conversion therapies as a pen name and refuses to truly apologize for it or at least acknowledge that she’s done a terrible decision in chosing the pen name (this is in case she genuinely didn’t know about who Robert Galbraith was — although it’s not much of an excuse because she should always check the name before using it).

Invalidates the struggles of Trans women constantly.

Also, she friendly with Marilyn Mason. A known rapist, who likes to psychologically torture women by banishing them into enclosed, soundproofed room. His victims now suffer bouts of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. So much for feminism, huh? (I’ll be making a more in-depth post about this specific point later).

This is just off the top of my head.

ME.

When it comes to people I meet IRL, I always check if their decision to be a TERF comes from ignorance or not. If it’s not ignorance I simply don’t interact with them without starting a fight or anything. Snip Snip. Good day to you.

When it comes to Rowling, who, again, uses her large platform to do more harm than good, I criticize her. I don’t even send death threats, I don’t invalidate her experiences as a woman. I disagree, I explain why I disagree, and that’s pretty much it.

I’m only aggressive when it comes to people with big platforms harming a certain community. Because what you may perceive as a harmless opinion is actually a huge weight that is being placed onto trans people and their allies. What do you think her supporters do when she tweets shit like that?

REMEMBER:

Whether you like pineapples on pizza or not is an opinion.

Whether someone’s gender identity is valid or not, is NOT an opinion.

Can you please give us more Luna in the rewrite? I think her story is very fun, and considering Pandora and Xenophelius existed roughly in the Maurderer Era, it could be cool to see how them and the Potters (and Longbottoms) got along

I can definitely try to work that in! I know that Pandora and Xenophilius will show up in my Marauders fic (which is part of the rewrite).

One thing is, Luna’s role in the story depends on what Hari’s childhood looks like, which is something I am yet to decide. I ask about it here. Please let me know what you think!

Different anon, but that must have been so confusing for young Percy! He was taught all his life to follow the rules, eat what was set before him, be quiet, and not draw any attention to himself. Then suddenly, when he's around seven or so, his whole life changes, and he's expected to flip his whole personality on a head just like that

Agreed! It’s no wonder why he was so upset with his family, honestly. They mocked him for trying to succeed, just because he wasn’t rowdy like his siblings did not mean that he was doing anything wrong.

Don’t be deaf 😔 there’s tons of sounds 😊 hear them ❤️

with the tags and search officially being completely broken on all platforms (no new posts are showing up in them anymore), now feels like a good time to remind everyone that the only way to help creators is to reblog their stuff. even before the tags were busted most people found new creators through their content being rebloged onto their dash, and now, at least for the time being, that will be the Only way to find and spread things.

Fast reblog is a thing, you dont have to leave comments, you dont have to leave tags, just reblog stuff if you want to keep seeing new content being posted to this site.

and as a final note, with this change likes are officially completely pointless for content creators. up till now they served to boost a posts placement in the tag searches (a post tagged #girl with 40 likes would show up higher in the search than a post tagged #girl with only 10 likes,)

[outdated. the glitch was fixed a few hours after this post was made ^^ still reblog stuff tho]

What you said about Percy following the rules is exactly what I had in mind.

Also, yes! Percy’s own father works at the Ministry, and I’m sure he must’ve been in awed every time Arthur returned home exhausted after a day of dealing with post-war problems.

I think Percy was a quite child - I love the older two, but I don't connect with their stories as much - because of the war. And nobody minded. Being quiet meant he could hide, being quiet meant he wasn't a liability. But then the war ended, and people saw him as weird.

Honestly, I agree. Being quiet isn’t a flaw or a liability. However, from what I understand, Percy was already thought of as weird since way before the war. There’s a lot of moments in the books where people mock him (mostly the twins). I think it wasn’t until after the war that people started trying to understand him.

I’m going to make it into a College AU type of thing, hope you don’t mind.

SIRIUS BLACK would most likely be some kind of History major, but focused on Queer History that past historians had tried to play off as them being “best friends”, “brothers”, and such. Sirius would also perhaps have a minor in English/Creative Writing because I love the idea of him using his discoveries as a historian to write heart-wrenching love stories.

REMUS LUPIN would be studying to become a Conservation Biologist. He’s just so passionate about animals finding homes and saving them from extinction, he feels like it’s his destiny. Would also most likely write books about it and write popular essays on everything he knows and how he thinks people can improve these endangered animals’ quality of life. Remus would most likely relate to Lily the most.

JAMES POTTER would be either studying to become some kind of doctor, or to become a professional coach of some sport like football (what Americans call soccer), there’s no in-between for me. He’d be really passionate about it either way, and would be found staying up all night studying.

PETER PETTIGREW would definitely be an Arts major, although he wouldn’t want to be stuck in one branch of art. He would probably try all different kinds of arts before he even thought about favoring one. I just picture paint stains on his clothes and a mixture of ink and charcoal staining his hands.

LILY EVANS would probably study to become a Botanist, which would awaken her inner environmentalist. I really think she’d go on long rants about how plants are dying and animals are going extinct and now we’re all being deep-fried by the sun because of global warming. She and Remus would almost always be caught talking about these things.

REGULUS BLACK would a scientist of some sort, maybe a chemist. He’s a man of science and loves math by extension. He’s so sirius serious about his academics and goals.

what do y’all think would have been the marauders favourite subject if they went to like muggle school?

Thoughts on Regulus

I am honestly conflicted on how I want to portray him in the story. Like, personally, I love him and the idea that maybe he created a public front where he pretended to hate Sirius and his friends and such, but when he couldn’t sleep he’d send his older brother an owl requesting to sneak around. I’m an older sibling, and I really could not imagine being separated from my brother like that. I would refuse, as much as I’d like to strangle him sometimes, I would also die for him.

But then, I also have some ideas on how it would be if I went the usual route of making Regulus automatically cut him off when Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor. BUT, also, what part of this rewrite takes the usual routes?

ANYWAY. I might use a combination of both. Because I think Regulus was a complex character who was, like his brother, abused.

Being abused by your parents is a strange thing, sometimes, because it can either develop profound hatred towards your abusers, or create some sort of attachment and need to please the very people that hurt you. And I really want to explore that with Sirius and Regulus and how each of them dealt with their issue at home.

On a lighter note, I read once a headcanon that said that Pandora (Luna Lovegood’s mom) was maybe friends with Regulus, and I loved that idea so much. Mostly, I think of them quietly rebelling against their families. And I wholeheartedly believe that Pandora helped Regulus with the locket after she was inevitably kicked out of her family for marrying Xenophilius.
