I'm Written By Donna Tartt. Not In The Way That I'm Ethereal And Smart And Well-read. But In The Way

By Trish Mateer

Chaotic evil, that’s it, that’s the post.

"OH BOY, IT WOULD SURE SUCK IF THE FAE TOOK ME!" cried the man banging pots and pans together in the middle of a mushroom circle.

I hate when ppl say that sexuality is just a preference, bc it kind of implies that you’re fine w/ or w/o it. I saw it compared to pineapple on pizza, and the person said “you either like it or you don’t, it’s a preference” which is kind of true, but most ppl that like pineapple w/ pizza are fine eating pizza w/o it too. Idk it js feels like “oh yeah im a lesbian but men are fine too ig” when it’s not the case

anyways that’s the end of the rant

some humor. thought itd be drowning but ill die laughing ig 🤷‍♀️

First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die

How you dying 👀

my favorite animal is when there’s a hate comment on a fic and the authors like “aw :( I’m sorry you didn’t like it” and meanwhile half the fucking fandom is piling up and asking if they even read the fic.

We need to stop sleeping on Burt and Irving THERE IS NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION FOR THEM-

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.

yes, dog movies are sad but do you ever think abt when in Rise of the Guardians when Jack dies to save his little sister and you then you think abt your own brother dying to save you and start crying bc he was an amazing future ahead of him with a wife and children but you’re a depressed lesbian who would no doubt be a disappointment to your parents (if they knew) but your brother already knows and he still loves you despite it?

tsh characters after reading the song of achilles

Henry: pretends to dislike it, probably has three or four different editions in English and greek

Francis: just here for the gay boys, loved the representation

Richard: feels like he relates to achilles and patroclus (but I'm straight ((shut up no you're not)))

Bunny: reads like 30 pages at best then gets bored

Camilla: really likes the story, her favourite character is clearly briseis

Charles: probably cried at the end but plays it cool
