Will Totally Let’s The Little Campers Put Bows N Shit In His Hair. And Fun Bandaids All Over His Body.

As a trans person, I am never, ever, ever giving up Harry Potter. And our fandom isn't going anywhere. Fucking deal with it.

Around this time last year, when JKR made some stupid comment (totally forgetting which one, there's just been so many at this point), I wrote a defense of Harry Potter fans' decision to remain in the fandom that essentially boiled down to this: giving up this fandom means giving up our people. In the wake of JKR's horrendous role in the anti-scientific UK Supreme Court ruling conflating sex with gender, this sentiment remains exactly the same.

I don't begrudge any HP fan who can no longer engage with JKR's IP due to this vile development. But I remain loud and proud in my support of the ✨community✨ that Harry Potter has brought together. As I mentioned in my last post, this community is not only full of the funniest, nicest, cleverest, and most creative people I've ever met in my life, but it is also the most diverse I have ever been a part of — and as an extrovert and community organizer who has lived in four different countries and speaks three languages, I have met a shit ton of people and been a part of lots of communities, significantly more than the average person. You are out of your mind if you think I am going to turn my back on the community that has been so critical to my survival as a queer, brown, neurodivergent, depressed, burnt out, poor Muslim femme in this capitalist, fascist hellscape. Day in and day out, my friends and I are pushing forward some of the most powerful narratives about queer, trans, and colonial liberation that society has to offer, which will have ripple effects on media and pop culture in the time to come (as is the nature of fandom). Nothing JKR can do or say will take that away from us. Nothing.

So to everyone who wants to claim that we're being transphobic for FREELY engaging with JKR's IP and doing things with it that would make her combust — that we're transphobic for wanting to keep this beautiful, generous community in tact — I not so kindly ask you to fuck off and leave us the fuck alone. You resist your way, and we will continue to resist in ours.

this is so wholesome.

gummy lamas

listen, fuck "to each their own", sometimes your mutual gets into some batshit insane rarepair that they're a little embarrassed about and it becomes your sworn duty to put on your jester bells and jingle jangle proudly by their side for moral support. don't be a pussy. it's ride or die motherfucker

In this AU Harry starts seeing a Muggle therapist, one who remains completely unfazed by everything he says. Dragons, Horcruxes, Death eaters? The therapist calmly nods, assuming it’s all metaphor. Meanwhile, Harry speaks with complete sincerity, telling the literal truth. (maybe will do a series if you guys like it, I will maybe try other characters too lol)

Session One : The Origin

Harry: "It all started when I was eleven. A giant broke down my door and told me I was a wizard."

Therapist (nodding thoughtfully): "Ah. The giant could symbolize your inner potential crashing through childhood repression."

Harry: "No, I mean literally. Hagrid. Half-giant."

Therapist: "You’ve given your inner strength a name. Beautiful."

Happy Mother's Day(US) to the mamas of all kinds ☺️🫂🌺

the best post ever

...hm.

Reblog if you genuinely support asexuals

It terrifies me that there’s so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals don’t deserve to have safe spaces. There’s still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals

Sometimes I think about harry smuggling a dragon, breaking the statute of secrecy, committing identity theft, aiding and abetting a criminal's escape, training and leading a secret group, breaking and entering the ministry, destroying ministry property, stalking, assault, impersonation, committing bank robbery, torture, murder etc and sigh dreamily.

He died doing what he loved. Being fatally injured.
