Lily: We Can Have Our Nervous Breakdown Later, Everyone Get It Together Remus: Fine, But When We Do Get

Every time someone writes The Marauders as morally gray characters I start kissing them on the mouth with an unseen passion

regulus once walked into james lying on the kitchen floor at 3am eating popcorn and listening to taylor swift. he just laid down next to him and joined in.

sirius walked in on this half an hour later. they don’t talk about it.

gang idk how many "me and who"s i got left in me

the marauders fandom is not the reason terfs brought about a deeply transphobic and lesbophobic supreme court ruling in the UK. i’m going to be very clear about that because it’s something this fandom sincerely needs to confront

the ruling itself was written based on a deep misunderstanding of trans, nonbinary and lesbian identity that stems at least in part from a basic lack of british social education and discourse on lgbtq issues. jkr did not cause that. she is one of many right wing bigots capitalising on it and this case specifically only came about because she put £70,000 behind it

that wealth is based off a franchise which became a household name nearly three decades ago. that franchise is sustained because harry potter is ingrained in popular culture worldwide. it’s the families who flew 4000 miles to take their kids to wb studios. the vast majority of the world does not hear about hp or engage with it because of the marauders fandom

i do want to be very clear about that last point, because its a different issue from whether someone is personally uncomfortable engaging with hp in any way or whether engaging with it affects people in your community. that is a different kind of impact, but the discourse in this fandom is repeatedly blurring it with the broader impact on lgbtq people in britain of hp being so profitable and what jkr does with those profits

when you start talking about the harm that financially supporting the hp brand does as a personal moral issue, you are making this about you. when a supreme court ruling comes down that says very specifically that only cis women can be lesbians and five days later the discussion online is how someone feels about posting hp fanfic, you have made this harm about you. and it’s not about you. it’s about the people dealing with the reality of being lgbtq in britain right now. it’s about the ways in which that ruling directly and indirectly affects us

when i go to work each day and navigate the transphobia still rumbling around even in explicitly left wing spaces of british society i quite frankly do not give a fuck about your 100k wolfstar first war slowburn being taken off ao3. neither do the trans and nonbinary people I work with. neither do the parents of trans and nonbinary people I work with. it has literally zero impact on anybody’s lives here and has made absolutely nothing better

so what I am asking is that instead of posting on tumblr or ao3 or tiktok about the morality of being in the marauders fandom you instead share information about lgbtq issues in the uk right now and the voices of people who live here and are going through it. make people hear us. make people understand

being trans or nonbinary in the uk right now feels suffocating. it feels like a constant battle to not have your identity snuffed out. it feels like shouting into a void and being faced with this terrifying, uncaring silence. or worse. i am genuinely begging all of you to actually engage with that reality and stop being one more person talking over us

@gqhastlyqueer

we never talk about how challenging it is to write/read a fanfic where someone calls Lily 'Evans' and there is also a character named Evan. like damn that's so confusing

Not now kitten daddy's googling his symptoms

unless they specifically asked, you don’t get to tell a fanfic writer you think they mischaracterized the character by the way. because the second someone writes a fanfic about a character, that character becomes the writer’s own version of the character. canon is only a suggestion, but whether or not an author will follow it / how much of canon an author will take is entirely up to them. you don’t get to stick your nose in their world and tell them “hey this is not to my liking therefore I think you’re doing it wrong” when you can simply leave quietly and move on to something else you may enjoy

Hot take we should ban cis straight men and women from queer clubs the only exception being if they are dating a member of the lgbtq+

With recent rulings proving we can’t trust cis het women the same way we can’t trust cis het men and we need to protect our spaces

To any JKR supporters left after she not only bribed the Supreme Court to pass a law riddled with blatant transphobia but actually succeeded in getting that law passed?

Trust that you will be dealt with. I will personally invite myself into your abode and go absolutely mad. Apeshit even. Trust that I will gnaw your face off.

After all, I have nothing against biting chunks off a bigot if their views ruin the safety of my country.

If you give that filth any sort of money, e.g purchasing films, books, merchandise and watching the new series. Trust that you will be dealt with.
