Top 10 favourite hp characters???
1. auntie muriel [she's firing out banger after banger from the second she arrives on the page and she sustains that level until the moment the wedding ends - fantastic energy, i love to see it]
2. that auld fella at the quidditch world cup who refuses to wear trousers [live your truth, king]
3. dawlish [both voldemort and dumbledore take the time to point out that he's completely incompetent and then the conclusion of his character arc is him getting fucking wrecked by an old lady]
4. mrs cole [day-drinking is a proud tradition and i'm delighted she honoured it - harry being genuinely impressed by how much she can put away is one of the funniest things he ever does]
5. the portrait in st mungo's which claims ron has spattergroit and which deserves to be thanked for clearly inspiring his cover-story in deathly hallows
6. gladys gudgeon, who doesn't abandon her devotion to lockhart, even after his brain injury
7. madam rosmerta [she manages to sustain her position as the hottest woman in hogsmeade over a period of at least twenty years - unmatched aura]
8. the employee at the owl office who received a postal order form from a cat and thought "legit"
9. piers polkiss [yer man finessed multiple day-trips out of the dursleys, what a #girlboss]
10. hagrid's dad [he walked so that the monster-fucking girlies on tumblr could run, and don't you forget it]
my job is to get drunk at family functions and judge people’s bookshelves
hi!
I wrote a fic for @hpfemininomenonfest and it's been released!
The fic focuses on the Black sisters and answers why Bella attacked Frank and Alice Longbottom.
What if Bella attacked Frank and Alice, not because she wanted to bring Voldemort back, but because Narcissa finally felt safe enough to love Alice again?
“You will have always been a sister, even if you leave, even if you hate them, even if you don’t.”
🖤🖤🖤
Huge thanks to @middleagedenragedmama for doing a first fic with me - I can't believe we did it! (read her fic!)
and to @badhairred for supporting us both along the way 🖤 (and their fic too!)
Actually check out the whole collection because there are some amazing works there!
and thanks to all the mods for making it happen! @messrsrarchives @badhairred @radla @middleagedenragedmama @heartsoncover @lemonlans @starprongs
J.K. Rowling is still a massive transphobe, and for how much I love this story and the Marauders fandom in particular (which was supposed to be a safe space for trans people and the biggest rejection of her, where the majority of the creators are trans and we made the characters queer in every possible way!), I understand why we keep coming back to it for nostalgia because I grew up with it too. However, I still don't agree with giving more of my money to her because she is actively supporting organizations that work to strip trans people of their rights, actively hurting them. She is also using her platform to spread transphobia and hate quite regularly. I don't understand how you can say you support trans people and that you hate her if you think it’s okay to give her your money by supporting the new Harry Potter TV show, going on tours of the Harry Potter studio, continuing to buy official merchandise, playing the official games, or even purchasing the books again. Unfortunately, she is still alive and using her money in that way. While we can't take back what we already gave her before knowing what she stood for, we can stop moving forward.
And the transphobic people in the fandom who always have negative comments about trans or gender non-conforming HEADCANONS in a fandom that is almost entirely made up from the fans can simply go fuck themselves.
You shouldn't be welcomed in this space, and it's unacceptable that you make trans creators feel unsafe and attempt to harass them out of it. You should be the ones feeling unwanted here, not them, and if you're part of any other queer label, you should be deeply ashamed of yourself.
Look up your own history and realize that without trans people, you would have exactly zero rights. When they are in danger, that danger will not stay away from you because cishet homophobic people don't care that you're not trans. They will hate you because you're queer. You're not saving yourself by trying to remove the "T" from the community, and trans people have always been the ones to fight the hardest for all of us, even while being the most marginalized.
So learn your history and be smart about it at least, if you really can't have basic empathy for other people simply because they are trying to live and be happy like everyone else.
To all the others that say that they do care, show it with your actions, support trans creators and avoid giving your money to JKR
stop earning advanced degrees i need you to finish your fanfiction

I have specific memories of an ask that was about a character drinking pickle juice or the "one where a character goes to another country"

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
