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.
i came across that post where someone redrew the cougar diva with piercings but they gave her the disney feminization treatment and it pmo !! shes a stud! a butch! an androgynous baddie! i had to do smth about it
I fucking hate the "James hates Sirius after the prank" trope. I'm sorry but there's NOTHING Sirius could do that would make James hate him. James would probably kiss Sirius and praise his great prank idea. These two will never abandon each other and that's it.
If you're a marauders fan and you bash James or Lily, you're not a true marauders fan. They are the reason for the marauders, they are it, they are everything. Remus, who? Regulus, who? Sirius, who? Mary, who? JAMES AND LILY
This poll is being ran purely out of curiosity, and I ask that you please specify where exactly you hc James to be from in the comments or reblogs !!
Edit: I forgot to put both south asian or middle eastern bc I'm an idiot who's bad at geography. If you see him as either, please put other and explain which country(ies) you hc him to be from !! Both regions will be included in the next poll I do
Canon sirius wins the idgf game every time omg. Bro does not care. His best friend is in love with someone? "U re not getting the girl with ur personality, James." Peter admiring James. "Peter, u will wet yourself." His other best friend is a werewolf who suffers every full moon. "Damn, I wish it was a full moon." A student starts to ask questions about their secret. "I'm just killing him, whatever."
I just know he made everyone he knows at least cry once, and it wasn’t even on purpose. He's just made like that, and he doesn't even care if u don't tolerate him.
prongsfoot as lottienat?
i v much agree with the sirius as the leader of marauders rather than james thing but like. james is the religious leader if you know what i mean?? like its james that says sirius is the leader so the others should follow him, its james that doesn't tell them what to do like sirius & isn't obviously in charge like sirius but he's there & he's got power & could potentially get sirius replaced if he so wishes (he just never would)
McGonagall was a jily shipper and partnered them together for class work every chance she got from 5th year on. Lily assumed it was because she struggling in the class but she secretly loved having a reason to spend time with James.
McGonagall was James’s biggest advocate for becoming head boy
as a lesbian, i just had a dream i was dating brennan lee muligan, and i was having a great time on the low. i have nothing to say for myself
Gender is not the same as sex. Gender is what you identify with, while sex is what Sirius Black is having with James Potter tonight. Stay tuned.
