I Wish That Ao3 Did A Spotify Wrapped Equivalent. I Would Love To Know How Many Hours I Spent Reading

it’s never too late to realise you aren’t the gender you were born as.

You aren’t “not trans”* if you figured it out after puberty.

You aren’t “not trans” if you figured it out during puberty.

You aren’t “not trans” if you were raised with transphobic ideations.

You aren’t “not trans” if you used to be okay with your assigned pronouns and now aren’t.

Not everyone “knew they were in the wrong body” when they were a kid.

If you have a suspicion, do research and DON’T take ‘am i trans’ quizzes, they often ask you invasive questions or questions that don’t make any sense.

My pms are always open for people with questions :)

*I’m using the word trans as a blanket term for all people who aren’t the gender they were assigned at birth, anyone is free to ask questions.

Remus Lupin who killed someone when he was ten years old on a full moon. Remus Lupin who woke up after with blood all over him with another man beside him Looking barely human. Remus Lupin who after that was always thankful that every moon he had was his own blood on him except another

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

when people are like “oh so you’re just gonna judge someone for their political beliefs?” yes actually. I think someone’s values and opinions is a pretty reasonable thing to judge them for.

Sirius " well fight or flight I'd rather die than have to cry in front of you " black

Remus " well fight or flight I'd rather lie than tell you I'm in love with you " lupin

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.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

Whilst we're talking about the new HP show and the authors evident involvement, it's important to remember that the marketing team and likely others will know that Wolfstar and Drarry are the most popular aspects of this fandom.

They'll probably know about All the Young Dudes [David Thewlis and Andrew Garfield have been asked about it in random interviews, so any marketing team capable of basic research will know about it]. They will know that there is an entire community surrounding the Marauders (because there has been for like 20 years, it's not new)

And this information can be used in marketing. The focus has been so much on the author won't make them Canon (true), people are missing that that's not the only way to manipulate an audience into watching.

And it really wouldn't take much.

Just the idea of casting Andrew Garfield, or Ben Barnes posting a filter, or Aaron Taylor Johnson introducing the pet shop boys cover of All The Young Dudes has people who previously had "fuck jkr" in their bio foaming at the mouth for the show. It's already working without them having to do anything

They might queer bait, they might not. But the thing with queer baiting is

you can choose not to bite.

personally i think remus is the clingy one but in such a chill way. sirius is loud and clingy, when he's touching remus everyoneeee knows about it, but remus is here like 🧍🏻‍♂️ sirius. it has been 2 minutes since we last touched. 🧍🏻‍♂️ give me your belt loop.🧍🏻‍♂️hi i noticed your hand is not in mine🧍🏻‍♂️ sirius. why are you sat next to me without your foot in my lap? 🧍🏻‍♂️ i am stealing this *holds sleeve* 🧍🏻‍♂️but like so absentmindedly that he doesn't even realise he's doing it.
