I Love Your Rewrite ♥

Verosui.

[ veros: “genuine” (Greek); sui: “self” (Latin). ]

OFFICIAL NAME. Verosui

ALSO KNOWN AS. The Holy Messenger OR The Amender

SIZE. 14.5 in

DIET. They eat berries, but they also enjoy eating arthropods and small invertebrates such as spiders, scorpions, centipedes and such.

ABOUT THEM. There used to be an ancient ceremony where whenever someone announced that they were born in the wrong body, they would contact the Goddess via a song so that She would send her beloved pet, the Verosui, to right her wrong. The Amender would arrive a week after the song, to perform its magic. During this week, the village or family would gather around in prayer so that the Amender will show its holy compassion as a sign of compassion towards the sufferer.

Once the Amender arrives, they shall see if a person’s true self would be what they claim. If they deem it necessary, they shall begin the performance of sex reassignment, which really involves powerful magic being used while they fly in circles around their target. It is said that the experience is a mixture of thrilling and painful, so it would really depend on who the person is.

Unfortunately, this ceremony was banned in 1903 by the Minister of Magic at the time — K. Rowl. Ever since then, the wixes were forced to forget about this ceremony since they would be persecuted if they attempted to relieve a sufferer’s pain. Sufferers were soon scorned and mocked if they came out.

Someone‘s preferred name is not debatable.

if someone asks you to call them a name

you call them by that fucking name

this is NOT debatable.

Why do people use ‘the anon switch’TM as an excuse to be assholes? Its intended purpose is obviously so you can fangirl over your fav writers’ updates at a level that would be embarrassing if they actually knew who you were

I mean, I was very surprised, but in the end it’s like…well, you do you. There’s no ridiculous age gap, there’s no minors involved with adults so technically it’s okay but like…it’s strange to me.

Some enemies in the book can work as an enemies to lovers, but not all of them. It’s also all about context.

I feel like Drarry have a very slim chance of working, but only post-war, and even then it’s a stretch.

Jeverus/Snames is a thing?

I just found out that there are people who ship James Potter with Snape and I don’t know how to deal with it. I’m not trying to shame anyone, but you’ve got Marauder stans and Snape stans and then you’ve got people who think they belong together? How? Where’s the logic behind that? I’m genuinely curious.

When I was 13 years old and curious about sex and love, I asked my mom if she had had sex before marrying my father (of whom she is still married to, and has been since before I was born). She said that that wasn’t really a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question. I said ‘sure it is, you’ve either had sex before him, or you haven’t’. She brought me onto the couch and sat me down and told me about the boy she liked when she was young and how one night she snuck into his house while his parents were gone and they were kissing and he said they should have sex and she said that she wanted to save sex for marriage and he laughed and basically took all her clothes off and he raped her and as my mom was telling the story she cried and this was the second time I had ever seen my mom cry. She was 12 when it happened.

In grade 8 I got a call from my friend in the middle of the night and she was drunk in the park crying and told me that she went out that night with some other friends and they drank a little and her guy “friend” starting flirting and yes she laughed at first but then he tried to pull her shirt over her head and she pulled away and he ripped her shirt and it was her favourite shirt and then he pushed her to her knees and HIS BEST FRIEND HELD HER JAW OPEN WHILE HE FACE FUCKED HER. And so I went to the park and picked her up and took her home and slept in her bed with her except we didn’t sleep because she just cried and her mouth bled and this was four years ago but I still have to be the one to bring her items to the till it the cashier is a man, and she still has anxiety attacks and she’ll get a rash all over her body and I just want to kill those boys but instead they are still walking around. And I’m in the bathroom with her, dabbing at her skin with a warm cloth until it returns to its regular colour.

And in grade 9 one of my closest friends was kinda seeing this boy and so they hung out one night and then she said that she really had to be getting back home and he said that she wasn’t going anywhere until she gave him what he wanted and he parked the car and took off her clothes and she said no and he ignored her and so she laid in the backseat totally limp and just cried and it wasn’t even sex, he just masterbated by using her body instead of his hand and she came to school the next day with vodka in her water bottle and she drank all day and I had to fight her to get the alcohol away from her and she just cried and threw up and I skipped class while I held her hair back and that same boy texted me a month later, asking if I ever wanted to hangout sometime.

And in that same year my very best friend who has never even kissed a boy, confessed to me that when she was 9 years old, her 12 year old cousin made her give him a hand job and he told her that was what cousins do and he gave her a chocolate bar afterwards and she told me that he probably doesn’t even remember it but that it’s something that she’ll never have the luxury of forgetting.

And in grade 10 I knew a girl who invited her best friend over to watch Disney movies and then he started to put his hands down her pants and she said no but she is 130lbs and he is 220lbs and he called her a tease while she tried to fight him but he used one hand to hold her down, and the other to put inside of her and i was the one to push her inside of a classroom and stand in front of her while calling the police when he showed up at our school looking for her and she was so damn scared.

And a few months later I skipped class and was in the car with a guy who i had had unprotected sex with in the past while under the influence of cocaine but this time I was sober and I insisted we use a condom but he told me he couldn’t feel anything while the condom was on so he ripped it off and I said I refused to have unprotected sex again and so he just grabbed me and forced himself into my mouth and I was crying and he pulled me onto him and I just came saying “stop” over and over like a broken record but he must’ve heard something different because he went until he came and I just sat naked in the backseat while he drove me back to the school and said “we should do this again sometime”. And I had five showers that night and I scratched at my skin so hard to try and rip his fingerprints off of me, I still have the scars.

And I found out soon afterwards that that same guy had raped a classmate of mine, 5 months earlier and she told me about how he brought her McDonald’s first, and how he said they could take things slow and she told me about how he didn’t listen to her either. And he goes to our school and so after she told me about her incident and I told her about mine, we decided to report it to the police and the trial is currently still going on and he told people about it, except in his version we are just “asking for attention” and all his friends talk about how bad they feel for him. As if HE is the one that still wakes up screaming. As if HE felt like his skin no longer was beautiful, no longer belonged to him. And I held her in my arms as she bawled after giving the police her statement. And she did the same for me.

And I met a woman a year ago in a paint store and she had a service dog and I asked what the dog was for and it turns out that she had been so brutally raped and abused in her life, that the dog is literally trained to keep men away from her.

And I’m so FUCKING SICK AND TIRED OF THIS WORLD WE ARE LIVING IN. How many rape victims eyes have I already looked into? How many more will I? And how many more friends will I hold while they shake? Because I don’t know how many more I can take. And who the fuck still has the nerve to make rape jokes? And… Something just has to change. Please, someone just start being that change.

sometimes I try to have nuance and consume media critically like “oh even though I personally don’t like snape because he was a cruel and abusive man that doesn’t mean he’s a bad character because he did ultimately give his life for the cause 😊” or “yes I think dumbledore was a manipulative puppet master who treated people as pawns but he did have good intent and I think he truly loved harry” but then I randomly remember some of the fucked up shit they did and the rage comes back in full force

like snape picking ruthlessly on poor orphaned harry who literally was traumatized his whole life and bullying neville and exposing remus as a werewolf and telling voldemort the prophecy and being willing to let james and harry die just to save lily for his twisted obsession. or dumbledore raising harry to be slaughtered and testing him at every opportunity but telling him nothing and leaving the fate of the world in his young hands. or you know abandoning an innocent sirius to rot in prison without a trial even when he pulled strings for snape, or manipulating persecuted and marginalized people like hagrid and remus to worship the ground he walked on so he could use their loyalty when the time came

who was gonna tell me that writing takes longer than i thought and part of my emotional stability?

Thank you so much! I was very worried I would end up offending people, and I’d grown quite attached to them.

Zaneerah and Saida will be portrayed to be quite intelligent and I’d go as far as to say that they were ahead of their time. Especially Saida, who’d worked so hard to be inclusive of everyone and offered a leg-up while simultaneously encouraging people to accept themselves as they are. Zaneerah becomes one of the most powerful wixes in the magical world, despite the fact that she’s blind (and proud).

I read a post that suggested that perhaps the children who’d showed signs of magic would be seen as being blessed by Allah. I rather like the idea, as it would explain maybe why their parents would be thrilled while also be a bit nervous around magic; they love that they have the Gift of Allah, but also, magic has a lot of bad rep and they don’t quite know how to act.

Hello!

I just found out that Muslims believe that every kind of magic is Black Magic (correct me if I’m wrong). Now I’m a bit afraid of writing them into my Harry Potter rewrite, since I wanted to represent them but if it’s going to offend my Muslim readers, then I think I probably shouldn’t. Still, here’s what I had in plan for them (there was supposed to be two characters who were Muslim).

They’re best friends whose family are also very close. They’re supposed to be muggleborn witches. One of them (Zaneerah) is blind, and the other one (Saida) doesn’t have any disability. So once they get to Hogwarts and they realized just how inaccessible the school is for students with any kind of disabilities, the two muslim best friends work together to find magical ways to make life easier.

After their project is done and over with and Zaneerah begins excelling in her classes with her new spells and such, Saida finds that her passions lay in helping those with certain disabilities. She spends the rest of her school years working closely with other disabled students to find something that helps them without actually erasing their disability (if they don’t wish to).

I’m disabled, so I thought this would be a cool idea. But if it’ll offend my Muslim readers then perhaps I shouldn’t proceed? What do you think? Because I do believe that there must be magical people all over the country regardless of where they’re from or their religion, should these girls struggle with their newfound identity while at school? Maybe have some issues with their families? They would have to attend Hogwarts or some magical school because otherwise they’d become Obscurials.

Again, if it’s too complicated, or would still offend my Muslim readers, just tell me the word and I’ll remove this idea and replace it with someone else.

Hi! I think it's completely okay to write that! Since it's a fictional story and you're doing it to represent Muslims, I don't think it would offend the muslim readers and from what you've described of your characters, they don't seem to fall into the problematic and stereotypical muslim representation media often shows (as in you know portraying them as terrorists and always violent) And speaking of, muslim families being shown as not accepting their children's differences is also a somewhat repetitive and harmful trope in many media, so I'd suggest to not have that and have them be supportive even if they don't understand

But yeah I think you should go for it! It's a very good idea! I love that you're writing this to represent the muslim and disabled community

I’m going to make it into a College AU type of thing, hope you don’t mind.

SIRIUS BLACK would most likely be some kind of History major, but focused on Queer History that past historians had tried to play off as them being “best friends”, “brothers”, and such. Sirius would also perhaps have a minor in English/Creative Writing because I love the idea of him using his discoveries as a historian to write heart-wrenching love stories.

REMUS LUPIN would be studying to become a Conservation Biologist. He’s just so passionate about animals finding homes and saving them from extinction, he feels like it’s his destiny. Would also most likely write books about it and write popular essays on everything he knows and how he thinks people can improve these endangered animals’ quality of life. Remus would most likely relate to Lily the most.

JAMES POTTER would be either studying to become some kind of doctor, or to become a professional coach of some sport like football (what Americans call soccer), there’s no in-between for me. He’d be really passionate about it either way, and would be found staying up all night studying.

PETER PETTIGREW would definitely be an Arts major, although he wouldn’t want to be stuck in one branch of art. He would probably try all different kinds of arts before he even thought about favoring one. I just picture paint stains on his clothes and a mixture of ink and charcoal staining his hands.

LILY EVANS would probably study to become a Botanist, which would awaken her inner environmentalist. I really think she’d go on long rants about how plants are dying and animals are going extinct and now we’re all being deep-fried by the sun because of global warming. She and Remus would almost always be caught talking about these things.

REGULUS BLACK would a scientist of some sort, maybe a chemist. He’s a man of science and loves math by extension. He’s so sirius serious about his academics and goals.

what do y’all think would have been the marauders favourite subject if they went to like muggle school?

I used to ship Drarry too, but as you said, after rereading the books and analyzing it now that I’m older, I believe there’s too much toxicity for them to be romantically involved. It’s why I prefer shipping Albus and Scorpius better.

As for Jeverus, I really don’t think they’d work at all. Snape isn’t a forgiving man at all, and James is too against Snape’s beliefs to move past it. Not to mention all the toxicity they both have when it comes to each other. But, again, if you think they work then fine.

Also…Sirius and Snape…really? Merlin help us all.

Jeverus/Snames is a thing?

I just found out that there are people who ship James Potter with Snape and I don’t know how to deal with it. I’m not trying to shame anyone, but you’ve got Marauder stans and Snape stans and then you’ve got people who think they belong together? How? Where’s the logic behind that? I’m genuinely curious.
