Lawyer Sirius eviscerating his opponents with bullet-proof arguments and biting wit while looking supremely bored.
(James watching him with stars in his eyes like a love-sick puppy.)
“reg was the golden child” NO he was a ugly wet cat loser spare
sirius was everything his parents wanted: bold, loud, posh, strong, tall, intelligent, selfish, confident; up until he become a blood traitor
he wanted everything sirius had: his parent’s approval, intelligence, popularity, good looks, strength
sirius even bestied with muggles and ran away from home to live with blood traitors and STILL his parents kept him as the heir
no wonder reg joined voldy. his parents may have not approved of the guy, but reg was primed to be sucked into a cult by a really handsome, conniving brunette who promises that he’s superior as a birthright
regulus failed hslf his classes
I’ve been thinking about John’s choice of Barbie-form Alecto in the conext of ecofeminism.
The idea that environmentalism and feminism are intrinsically linked and we cannot save the Earth without first disbanding the patriarchy.
Man dominates the Earth and its resources, because they have dubbed it as female, and that’s what you do to women. It’s your God-given right.
Gaia, Mother Nature, Prithvi, Terra.
Notice how matriarchal societies, like North American First Nations (from the West Coast i am most familial with Musqueam), value and respect the Earth. Many of their creation stories centre nature and animals, featuring them as something humans can learn from and follow.
Patriarchal and colonial societies like England dominate both their women and the Earth. Their God puts man (male, white) above everything else; so is his right to own everything.
In a misogynistic society it is almost impossible to treat the Earth with respect, because how can you value Mother Nature when women are a resource to be used?
John is against trillionaires. He’s a scientist. He recognizes that the rich have abused and destroyed the planet, harming the poor. He cares about the Earth and wants to let it heal. He loves Alecto, in his own way.
But still, he uses her. He locks the Earth’s soul in a Barbie doll and uses her power to consume all the other planets in the solar system, murder every person in sight and make himself God.
He’s passionate about climate change because he recognizes the abuse the wealthy enact on the world for their own benefit as what they have been doing to him—the common people, the indigenous people. He’s mad (rightfully) at the injustice against him, but he’s not trying to save the Earth because he respects it, but because he wants to save the people he resonates with.
He doesn’t want to remove the boot, he wants to become it. He shows this by recreating catholicism in the Nine Houses. He’s Maori, that’s not his indigenous religion. It is the religion of God-given domination. That’s what he wants.
He was never going to save the Earth, he just wanted to be the one to imprison it. TM has shown us this through his objectification and feminization of Alecto.
anti prongsfoot/lilypad/jilypad are actually missing out on some of the cutest ship names
lilypad is soooo adorable are u kidding
prongsfoot eats and its not even a stretch like quillkiller or nobleflower (not hating, those are my favs ships but if you arent in the know u would have no idea which characters theyre referring to)
that quote honestly helped me immensely when my dog died a month ago
you can’t take loved away
the universe can take away someone, but it can’t can’t erase their existence. whats done is done.
I know I just made a post about it, but "You can't take loved away," fucks me up SO bad. Nona, who's known that she's dying for ages, facing the fact that regaining her memories is a form of dying that she hasn't prepared for. Nona, who isn't afraid of dying but is so, so scared of becoming someone who doesn't love Camilla, Palamedes, and Pyrrha. Nona, who is love - deep, vibrant, endless love, for the whole world but especially for her family. "I won't love anything... I won't know how."
And Paul. Paul, who's already done the thing Nona is afraid, or at least a version of it. Two people who Nona loved more than anything in the world died and became Paul, and Paul both is and isn't Camilla and Palamedes. Paul, who regardless of whether they are or aren't the people Nona loved, loves Nona. Paul tells her, "Camilla and Palamedes were loved by Nona. Pyrrha was loved by Nona. It's finished, it's done. You can't take loved away. We loved you too. Palamades and Camilla loved you."
And I'm just supposed to be okay after that.
I thought I should share with you some of the prongsfoot's arts, which I ordered earlier
This's one of my favorite arts from TeFa*
I love the way TeFa* portrays James and Sirius, but you should know that she also has absolutely amazing drarry and linny (ac: tefa_art_ (on X))
I ordered this art for the scene of one of the chapters of grandfathers au (that Sirius has bad days, but James always supports him)
