When People Are Like “oh So You’re Just Gonna Judge Someone For Their Political Beliefs?” Yes Actually.

remus lupin with social anxiety who everytime his friends talk to someone else he just stands there like 🧍‍♂️

why is half of fandom culture rn just hate. like everyone’s either talking shit about each other or posting content promoting hate for hc. i’m so sick of the only marauders content im seeing be “what ur least favorite ship” or “what a hc you really hate” or the worst one of all “what a popular fic you really hate”. i’m actually so lost on when we started to allow this to be acceptable fandom etiquette. you guys do realize fanfic is free right? meaning none of these authors owe you anything. the best way i’ve seen it put is “this is content that is shared with you not made for you” by messrsrobyn on tiktok. meaning take a step back remember that this is supposed to be for fun, and sharing opinions and promoting hate are 2 very different things.

i know people are not reading the posts of Palestinian's pleading for your attention I know for some they might even think they are repetitive or tiring but every single one of these people are risking their lives to come ask for your help that every single life is valuable and every person is a universe and I am begging you if you see this please donate what you can and help share these fundraisers as if you were doing it for your own loved ones please don't ignore this!

WHAT WE REALLY NEED IS A...

FEMININOMENON !!!

HEY! HI! things are rough out here right now, and i think in times of unrest like this, when we're not quite sure what the next day will hold or where our place in the wider world is, community is more important than ever. and i think we're all in agreement when i say fandom can be such a lovely resting spot from all of it so, hey. hi. you have a place here!

this fest is dedicated to female and genderqueer stories, art and edits, aiming to represent those who are feeling unsteady right now, and give us all a bit of space to breathe, be seen, and simply Be.

THE BASICS:

Signups are open here from today (November 11th) until December 13th.

Fanfictions, edits, and fanart are all accepted as submissions

Two servers: 18+ and 16-17 will be placed in separate servers (nothing else is different! just keeping it as safe and comfy as possible <3)

Fics: told from pov of female/gq character(s)

Any era/pairings/au allowed (or no pairings! you pretty much have free reign!)

No minimum of maximum WC for fics: oneshots or first chapter of a multi-chapter fic.

You can do as many submission across as many of the three categories as you want.

EXEMPTIONS: non-con and family pairings are excluded from this fest.

DEADLINE: working deadline of March 1st for submissions - flexible! (taking into account holidays, Jan 20th and all the emotions surrounding that <3)

@hpfemininomenonfest

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE !!!

bartylus being cool and judgy in public but jokingly wrestling and being silly when alone in their dorm, with barty head locking regulus and throwing him around and regulus bouncing on him like a feline because he’s an idiot

basic fandom etiquette rules if some of y'all forgot

1. don't put ship tags in your hate/anti posts

2. if u hate someone opinion/hc just block or mute them and move on

3. never leave a criticue under people's work, it's not a published book, juts close the fic and find something for your taste

4. always ask artist for permission to repost their art and always use credits

5. if u don't like something click the button mute

6. if u like a art or fic please leave something nice in comments, it will inspire creators and keeps them motivated

hey! lily evans carries a muggle camera with her everywhere she goes and is solely responsible for the documentation of the marauders school years! also also also every single one of those pictures was lost after October 31st 1981 because sirius black flipped through the albums with bloody hands and they were taken away as evidence!

Evan Rosier being the most ethereal boy at Hogwarts and being still objectified, despite his strong and peculiar reputation, to the point he considers himself a doll cause no one ever seemed to treat him otherwise.

Not even seeing a problem in that, not caring and seeing no wrong in that perception of himself until he realises that Barty is different.

Barty Crouch Jr loves his worst and most flawed features. He loves the imperfections and the mess. He is truly obsessed with who he is.

And Evan falls in the most brutal way for him even more.

And they live happily ever after.

sirius with an enchanted moon phase tattoo. he doesn't really need it, he memorised the cycles ages ago and even if he hadn't, the smallest tell from remus gives it away. a certain scrunch of his eyebrows and sirius knows that the full is six days away, the pop of his back and sirius knows they're at the middle point now - just as far to the next as they are from the last.

he doesn't need the tattoo, but he got it.

sirius in azkaban with an enchanted moon tattoo, clinging to it in the first few weeks as he waits for remus to come and get him out. mourning, the first time it turns to full. mourning the fact that he isn't there with remus, mourning himself becaue remus hasn't come to get him.

sirius, years into azkaban, looking at a moon on his wrist that hasn't changed in a while. his magic barely working, the ink still and for some reason, it makes his chest ache. if he were given water, maybe he'd cry. maybe he'd shed a tear about the fact he doesn't remember why he has it, or maybe he'll look out the window and see the moon. full. and he'll remember that one full moon in fifth year, one of the only ones left.

and then he's dragging nails along the tattoo to get rid of it and UGH SIRIUS WITH AN ENCHANTED MOON TATTOO IN AZKABAN
