Everyone (including Me) Going Crazy Over The (un?)doomed Yaoi, Canon Yuri And Doomed Straights Is Cool

just opened my banks app and it gave me a pop up for a fuckin. banking unwrapped?? and it turned out it was just unpersonalized customer statistics but for a brief glorious moment i was imagining a world where my bank was about to hit me with "you wasted $400 on GAY USELESS PURCHASES. you have spinal tap ungrungcore spending habits. your top transfer this year was: your landlord."

You know what I can't get over about the angst the Marauders fandom has for The Prank?

None of it is to do with the fucking victim

It's all about Sirius and Remus and their "fractured" relationship and Sirius' "guilt" and Remus being "angry" or "guilty"

But it's never about the actual fucking victim

It's never about the victim who got tricked and nearly killed. The victim who was silenced by the adults around him. The victim whose own best friend didn't even believe his version of events.

Severus Snape is the biggest victim of the Prank. Out of all the people with any right for angst, he's got the biggest right. For goodness's sake, his abusers didn't even regret what they nearly did, James just was aware the consequences would be nasty for him and his friends. And I don't think even Remus truly cared enough either to truly feel bad about it.

But nobody ever discusses that.

Gotta love the implication from the marauders fans - if you're an ugly, white, poor kid - you deserve the many crimes committed against you. But if you are an ugly, black, poor kid - wait, that will make my faves look bad. My faves are saints because their victim is ugly and not part of a minority.

They're like Lily, laughing at someone who's being abused because the abusers are ~handsome~

Well, at the end of the day, these are people who engage in victim blaming, support and excuse bullying, and minimize sexual offenses—so it’s not like we can expect much from them in terms of moral consistency or ethical coherence. The real issue isn’t that they think it’s acceptable to abuse a white child; it’s that they know they can justify it because no one will call them out the way they would if the child were a POC. The latter is visually more striking, carries far more controversial implications, and forces an uncomfortable conversation they don’t want to have.

The problem with these people is that they refuse to confront their own cognitive dissonance and the narrative of victim-blaming and perpetrator-exoneration that they’ve upheld for so long. They know that the moment the severity of the bullying Severus endured is laid out in a way that can’t be denied—because it will be too visually explicit to ignore—they won’t have anywhere to hide. And honestly? I find that wonderful in one way, but on the other hand, it’s pretty sad that this isn’t about genuine political awareness for them but rather a purely materialistic concern over their own image within the fandom.

I will never stop thinking about Scorpius Malfoy wanting to prove to the world that he isn't a bad person like everyone thinks his parents were, and I can't stop thinking about Albus Severus Potter wanting to prove to the world that he doesn't have to be a hero like his dad was.

And I can't stop thinking about them both finding one another and connecting over the shared experience of trying to prove to the world that they are their own people, trying to prove to the world that they're more than who their parents are.

Albus and Scorpius needed to meet because they needed each other.

wait if the jinx surviving theory is true it gets rid of the one problem i had with the finale: that letting herself die was the answer. i hate stories about suicidal characters that end up sacrificing themself for the narrative. it teaches people that dying is the answer when it never is. and i love the idea that if jinx survived it means she saved herself and deciding life was worth living and she was still deserving of it. (this also applies to timebomb if ekko was the one who convinced her of that <3)

This is my love letter to the most beautiful ship I witnessed this year. Cheers to us Jayvik nation 💫
