reading someone’s annotated books.
I don’t want a weighted blanket, I want a girlfriend to lay on top of me for the whole night while we cuddle and I feel safe
Omg I want a gf so much literally andifjbsmskdknsndkdo like *deep breath* *thinks abt long drives with a girl and stargazing and holding hands and being so deeply in love with a girl and painting dates with a girl and buying a huge bouquet of flowers for a girl and knowing her exact coffee order and seeing her wear my shirt and movie nights binging Harry Potter with a girl and “platonic” prom with a girl and writing love letters and poems for a girl and marrying a girl with the most beautiful wedding ever with a girl* *sighs in single gay*
A girl sighs, flopping down on her bed, LED lights cover it. She swears she was born in the wrong generation, turning her head to gaze at the Chappell Roan poster on her wall. Next to it, a Taylor Swift album cover. Today somebody asked her, “Who’s Billie Eilish?” When she asked her mom about if she used to listen to her, a faint smile crossed her face, and she chuckled, whispering, “why aren’t you scared of me, why don’t you run from me, what do you know?” Under her breath.
Some people got mad at me for saying Sirius has a tiny waist. So I’d like to clarify: Sirius has a tiny, snatched little waist and Remus loses his mind over it daily.
We’ve all looked at the exact same moon and the exact same sun, feel connected
does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
I’d also like to mentions the Pinterest pins I keep seeing that say “Marauders fan when you express your opinions” or “The Marauder fandom when you have a hc that doesn’t match theirs”
And then their headcanons are all the same: everyone is straight. Their OTP is Jily, and I’m NOT dogging on Jily, it’s an adorable ship, but they make it like every other straight ship in existence. Simultaneously, these are the same ppl replying to comments on their pins that say “why? /gen” and the reply is always a variation of “honestly I hate wolfstar like it’s such a dumb ship”
Isn’t that… hypocritical?? Are you not hating on opinions and headcanons yourself? Obviously, this is a generalization, and there are some ppl that have respectful opinions that are overshadowed by the ppl like this who have either non-sensical reason or none at all.
This will probably be controversial, but I feel like it needs to be talked about. (Marauders fandom edition part 1?)
Before I say anything else, I want to preface this by saying that everyone can have their ideas and headcanons about characters, you do you. So what I think we need to talk about is things like this:
“Omg no, the Marauders are definetly all straight, wydm??” “In canon they’re all cishet, can we keep that?” “Why is every single character some form of gay?”
In canon, little is known about them, but that’s not my point. This fandom is made up by 90% queer people that are making representation for themselves in media, because in said media, most of the “representation” is just one stereotypical queer person so the production team can claim they’re not homophobic. So when you take representation made by queer people for queer people and start packing it back into the same cishet boxes in was in before, you’re taking something that wasn’t made for you, and altering it to fit in a way you like. This sub-fandom wasn’t made by queer people so that straight people could take it and rewire it to fit them. Some *specific* instances of this are asexual Evan Rosier, trans Regulus Black, pansexual James Potter, and aroace Peter Pettigrew. While I’m not sure if this was representation some in this fandom made for themselves or others, it’s still important. What I’m really trying to say (it’s 12:36 at night, please) is that this fandom wasn’t made for straight people.
Marlene McKinnon isn’t headcanoned to be a lesbian so a weird uncle named Fred could fetishize her, she’s headcanoned to be a lesbian so that a 14 year old girl could see a character like her and feel seen. Sirius Black is not headcanoned to be gay/bi so a lonely wine mom could sexualize him. He’s headcanoned to be gay/bi so that a teenaged boy doesn’t feel so weird anymore.
Again, it’s okay to headcanon whoever to want to be this that or the other, that’s not what I’m addressing. It’s making everyone the same carbon copies of straight, white, and cis.
I’m done yapping now, go drink some water.
