1, 2, 22?

1. what was the first fandom you were ever a part of?

- tbh i cant exactly remember the first one, but one of earliest fandoms i can remember is the harry potter fandom (which im not part of anymore btw and i also never will support jkr's actions)

2. most recent fandom you joined?

- i recently joined the hunger games fandom after seeing the first movie. me and my friend were both sick from school one day so we watched the first movie on call, i started reading the first book and watched all the movies. now im obsessed with it.

22. least favorite fic trope?

- love at first sight can choke on a bottle cap in my opinion. im a slow burn person so i usually dont read that shit. theres probably othet stuff i dont like but idk tropes that well by name im sorry😔

#ask game

[zalrb]

haha, that anon saying they didn't know you liked Harry Potter - very new indeed because you being a fan of Romione was one of the first times I scrolled through your blog. I was like, oh, Zal gets it (coming from someone who read the books first) - as your several posts about Romione show! 😆 (and with a HP ask, comes an obligatory F JKR)

Of course! JKR can choke!

And right? I was like lmao I have multiple posts about Romione!

[exeggcute]

part of this is me catching up on shit after spending the last five days alternately hauling around boxes and choking back acid reflux after taking celebrex to combat the box-hauling pain but it sounds like someone got instabanned after making a flimsy callout against a random tumblr staff member and now all these huge conspiracies are abounding and it seems like this is getting wildly out of control lol. regardless of whether you think a ban was founded or unfounded (and tbh I think it was probably founded considering the exact reaction we're getting here...), you do technically agree to abide by tumblr's terms of service when you create an account here, and I am pretty sure those terms of service approximate some kind of clause saying you can't wield an angry mob against a tumblr employee by blowing some shit way out of proportion and calling someone a nazi pedophile,* so like... if you're in their house and you don't play by their rules they can, in fact, ask you to leave. a social media website is not a public utility to which you are entitled at all costs. you knew this when you signed up.

*necessary addendum in case someone reblogs this trying to start some shit (also, please don't): I also think the TERF accusations were overblown here because, as much as harry potter shit just needs to fucking die already thanks to its creator being the biggest transmisogynist in the anglosphere, and that being a vocal harry potter fan at this point is pretty inextricable from supporting its shitbag creator, I think that at this point automatically assuming every harry potter fan is a dyed-in-the-wool TERF is way underselling the amount that milquetoast nerds just kind of don't know or don't care that much about what jkr is doing. not that willful ignorance is much better, but I do strongly feel that there is a notable distinction between someone spineless who is willing to look the other way about transphobic violence and someone who actively subscribes to the rhetoric radfems are slinging, and it's useful to talk about them differently: "this person refuses to let a children's novel written by a bigot die in quiet indignity" is bad, and let's call it bad, but we don't need to conflate that with the kind of people who are really into adrienne rich. not all transphobia is TERF-ism!

[formulaonedirection]

pls share your maxnalysis with the class

Pls I can't simply because I will not discuss Harry Potter house sorting on main like I'd rather die actually JKR can choke

some Harry Potter hc's because I feel like Harry Potter posting.

Ginny/Neville/Luna are all dating. Harry is *maybe* dating Ginny and low-key has feelings for Neville but won't ever let himself explore too much of his potential queerness. He's just repressed like that

Draco is gay and had feelings for Harry and absolutely he kinda deserves to be put through the wringer but if everyone went back for a proper last year I would want him to have a redemption arc that does NOT EVER end with him and Harry together (Harry is bi though and had a weird obsession that he later realizes is feelings for Draco in a weird way - sixth year obvs)

Dean/Seamus, Lavender/Pavarti OBVIOUSLY. the four of them are besties 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Remus and Sirius raised Harry I know that fucks things up but idc IDC

Ron runs WWW with his brother and Hermione campaigns AGAINST the ministry.

Harry and Neville both become professors (DADA and Herbology obvs)

McGonagall uhhhhh never ever dies ever and her and Pomfrey are married bc I say so

anyways. don't at me bc thes is kinda cringe I know it is and a REMINDER that jkr can choke and die 🤭💕🫶🏽

Warner Bros. deciding to burn the Fantastic Beasts franchise to ground all for Amber Heard’s abusive ass is certainly uh...a choice

#Harry Potter #Fantastic Beasts #Johnny Depp #anyways he deserves better and she can choke #like my interest in the wizarding world franchises has dropped significantly #after all the transphobic crap from JKR this year #so hey thanks WB for giving me a reason NOT to continue watching these movies! #it’s a shame because I genuinely love the first two movies

[youreonyourown-kid]

I'll still fully support fan artists/creators and maybe when I'm real low I'll reread the series but I will NOT support anything that directly benefits JKR and I am way to poor to actually afford anything from pottery barn anyway...

But the pottery barn/hp collection is sooo beautiful...

can you do being harry potter’s first boyfriend headcanons?

I adore these!!! They're so cute-

Warnings: homophobia mention, a few sexual mentions because I can't stop myself.

§×§×§ §×§×§ §×§×§

Ok, so we know Harry is kinda emotionally.............. Dull.

And very obvious.

HOWEVER

When he knows he likes something, or someone in this case, he. fucking. KNOWS.

And it probably happens at like 4am when he realizes it.

So we know he gets nightmares and such, and he clearly talks in his sleep (thanks Ron) and he probably wakes up super early in the morning after a nightmare.

He woke up in a cold swear with the past flashing behind his eyelids every time he blinks and his stress keeps growing and growing when suddenly he's crying silently in his bed.

And suddenly the bed is dipping down next to him.

And your scooting closer and pulling your knees to your chest and his brain goes quiet and he's if he woke you or if you had a bad dream like him and he's just so worried about you.

And then your whispering to him and he wants to talk to you forever.

"So.. Um.. Bad dream?" "What are you doing up so late?" "I just needed some water. Why are you up so late?" "I don't wanna be a bother to you." "As if my best friend could be a burden to me."

You pulled him close and Harry was wondering if you always smelled to fucking amazing.

He kinda realized you genuinely care about him and it made him giggly.

... He also realized he really wants your shampoo.

Anyway, back to you. So, you care about him and he no longer wants to he just friends with you.

And that's it. He trips on the floor and falls in love with you right there.

From then on, you have this tiny, angry wizard making sure your safe and if anyone says something even a tad negative, he's throwing hands.

Literally everyone notices he has a crush on you.

Hermione gets it first, naturally.

She notices when he just kinda stares at you during lunch and literally sprays his drink all over Ron when you look at him and wave with a smile.

Ron notices when their going up the steps and your going down and you say "Hey Harry" and Harry being Harry goes "hI (Y/N)!" then trips UP the stairs after you walk by.

Everyone in Gryffindor (and Y/H) finds out when he rasies his hand quickly and shouts that he'd be your partner at a Professor.

But imagine like Harry and Ron laying on their beds one afternoon and Harry's like 'give me flirting advice' and Ron's like '.. You see literally asking the worst person-'

Oh my God- Fred and George being his wing men tho. Imagine that shit. They basically follow you around the school telling you about how great Harry is, but like 56% of it is probably kick ass lies that they clearly made up.

Anyway.

This poor chaotic idiot tries so hard to not make it obvious but oh my god it's so fucking obvious.

You probably confront him, too. Like "Why do you almost die during meals if I sit near you or look at you? Are you alright?" and he's already sweating.

Harry is literally so awkward; please save him from himself.

Honestly, Ron probably tells you. Like he looks up from his plate and is just so casual about it. And then proceeds to get his shit rocked by Harry and Hermione at the same time.

So your probably giggling and finding this adorable because Harry's bright red- like redder than his tie and it's the cutest thing and you make a comment on his pretty eyes and he chokes on his saliva.

Anyway, so you guys start dating and he treats you like a king.

He buys you anything you look at for a second too long. Into painting? Get ready for the best paints galleons can buy. Into galaxy shit? Get ready for a whole ass telescope. You get it.

At some point, you put a budget on him because, Jesus.

Your dorm is filled with stuff and it's almost all from him.

Hi, he's so the kind of guy where if you play with his hair, he genuinely shivers.

HI BUT HE LOVES TO CUDDLE INTO YOUR CHEST. AAAA.

Harry definitely gets into more fist fights than before because people (*cough*Draco*cough*) can't keep their... Opinions to themselves.

You teach him healthy coping mechanics. Please. He needs them so badly.

And please patch him up after fights. Kiss his bandages like a dad because he needs one Jesus-

OH SPEAKING OF DAD-

Sirius being so supportive and approving of everything, but definitely threatening to throw hands if you hurt him (because fuck jkr).

Remus also supporting you guys because I said so.

Oh my God- but Harry totally doodles stick figures of you guys like in a field of grass on his homework and he gets yelled at by Snape but you give him like a star sticker snd he's happy.

Please, he's so simple to me, I have no idea why.

OH BUT I STAND BY HARRY CLIMBING OVER HIS DESK TO THROW HANDS WITH SNAPE IF THE GREASY BASTARD SAID SHIT ABOUT YOU.

Yo, if you play quidditch, his first date with you two is playing together and it's so laid back snd it's late at night and he brings a blanket to lay out on the grass after and look at the stars.

If you don't play quidditch, he's just gonna do the blanket thing. Yes, he got the idea from Hermione, shh.

More quidditch shit because I'm obsessed with this dumb ass sport-

If he loses a game, please prepare your ass. And I mean that. You will be limping (if your into that).

I kinda see him as a switch, to be honest, but leaning more towards a dom, but he can be a bratty sub if he's in a salty mood.

If he wins, I just kinda imagine locker room shower sex after so go wild with that image.

Oh, those late might cuddles with comforting him because a major thing by the way. Poor kid has been through so much.

She points to EVERY interaction of Harry Potter content as support of her terf agenda you are supporting her just by keeping that series in the public eye

just bc she points to hp fandom as proof ppl support her, doesn't mean its actually proof and if ppl are dumb enough to believe that without actually looking into it then that's their problem. bc if they did look into it, most of the time theyd find people explicitly saying that while they still interact with hp fandom and enjoy hp, jkr can choke

[ineffablegame]

I know we have mixed feelings about JKR (to put it mildly), but Harry Potter is still a fun concept and world SO

Fic where Aziraphale finally discovers the Harry Potter books and while he is initially very skeptical (But they’re so dreadfully modern, Crowley.), he eventually gives in and devours the books rather quickly because, modern or not, he has to admit they’re easy to read and the world is, well, engrossing, in its way.  Prosaic, but engrossing.

And while the tale of a boy wizard fighting evil has its charms (pun intended), what really interests Aziraphale is the innovations.  It takes very little time at all for him to see the practicality of applying some of those innovations to everyday life, because while Harry Potter may be purely fictitious for the rest of the world, he has the power to make bits of it real.

It begins with Howlers.  Crowley nearly leaps out of his skin when a letter comes in the post to him in a scarlet envelope, marked carefully with Aziraphale’s tidy penmanship, and begins screaming the moment he opens it.  CROWLEY, MY DEAR, YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO DINE WITH ME AT THE RITZ THIS EVENING.  WOULD SIX O’CLOCK SUIT YOU?  OH, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS MESSAGE?  TERRIBLY CLEVER, ISN’T IT?  I BELIEVE IT’S CALLED A ‘SCREAMER!’

Crowley’s ears are smarting by the time the invitation is complete and he can’t decide if he wants to laugh or cry.

The bookshop is next.  When one too many customers lays hands on some of his favorite books, he nails up a sign proclaiming the entire shelf THE RESTRICTED SECTION.  This is accompanied by chains, spells that turn the humans’ minds away from the goal of buying books, and more.  Crowley is visiting the shop when he hears a shriek.  He whips around to see a woman holding an open book, gaping as the imprint of a face screams out of the pages at her.  She drops the book and pelts out of the shop with a look of terror stamped across her features.

Aziraphale picks up the book with a scowl.  Terrible, dropping a book like that.  She could have cracked the spine.

Transfiguration is next.  One day, Crowley shows up at the shop, intent on pestering Aziraphale into dinner, but the angel is nowhere to be seen.  Instead, a fat, fluffy white cat prowls around the shelves, hissing when people reach for books.  It takes Crowley an embarrassingly long time to realize the cat is Aziraphale - when it rubs up against his leg, purring contentedly, and pins him with a steady, knowing look.  A very familiar bastard-smirk lifts its whiskers.  

It’s extraordinarily useful, Aziraphale explains later.  Humans behave differently when they know the shopkeeper is around.  As a cat, I am privy to their gossiping.  

Crowley doubts the customers have any gossip worth listening to, but he makes no comment.  He can’t forget the warm press of cat-Aziraphale at his calf, the way he’d purred.  

The last straw is the Bentley.  When they are trapped in London gridlock - because while Crowley may be able to rearrange the world to suit his madcap driving, even he can’t always bend the streets of London to his will - Crowley slams a palm against the wheel and swears, and Aziraphale has a wonderful idea.

Hold on, my dear, he says, and snaps his fingers.  

Crowley’s stomach lurches as the Bentley shudders and lifts into the air, out of the choked river of traffic.  Crowley can’t help the shriek that escapes him as they ascend above the cars, over the buildings, and into the sky.  London is picturesque beneath them, shrinking by the minute.

Don’t worry, Aziraphale says.  No humans will see us.  The car is invisible.  

That’ssss not what I’m worried about! Crowley shrieks, hissing in his distress.  My-- my car!

You can still steer it, dear boy, Aziraphale says, and just like that, he’s flowing into Crowley’s lap, a fat, fluffy cat.  He arranges himself with a purr.  You don’t mind, do you?  Your lap is terribly comfortable.

Doubt it, Crowley mutters, but he settles trembling hands on the wheel.  The Bentley sails on, and as Aziraphale’s tail flicks his chin, the demon bites his lip around a grin.  It feels very nearly magical.

[thistlecatfics]

How do you feel about James threatening to take off Snape's underwear in front of a group of fellow students? And using that to try and coerce Lily into a date with him? I've seen different takes which included sexual assault (which isn't wrong by our standards, per se, including showing underwear in the first place) to teenage antics. Basically, how do you feel this action reflects on who James is as a person - ignoring the arguments of Marauders vs Snape being "justified" or not. 1/2

2. An aside, where does it say in book text that Mulciber used Levicorpus against Mary Macdonald? (I think I saw that in a discussion on meta here.) I can't find any part of the book that confirms what was actually done to her. For what it's worth, I tend to think of the characters all fighting a small war during the marauder era, and find "who bullied who" discussions pointless, especially in the later years.

First off - I cannot be entirely sure I did not send this ask to myself in a fevered state because this is exactly what has been bubbling around in my head for the past week. (so, uh, that is to say, thank you for the ask, anon.)

Second - everything we get about the marauder’s era is through 2+ unreliable narrators which is why it’s so fun! I just reread SWM and am going to offer a few potential interpretations. I’m very much open to more.

Rereading “Snape’s Worst Memory” right now, the first thing that stands out to me is that it is Snape’s memory but the details around James Potter and co are almost absurdly clear given that Snape is “as deeply immersed in the OWL paper as ever, which left Harry free to sit down on the grass between the beech and the bushes and watch the foursome under the tree.” It’s a little difficult for me to understand how everyone is situated but why are the details of MWPP’s conversation intelligible to him?

A few questions right from the start:

To what degree is Snape’s pensieve memory reliable?

To what degree should we see this as a school-based proxy war vs bullying?

To what degree is this moment an aberration vs typical?

“Snape reacted so fast it was as though he had been expecting an attack.” (hyper-vigilance, trauma-response, training, situational awareness, been listening in - lots of ways to read this)

“Students all around had turned to watch… some looked apprehensive, other entertained.” (everyone assumes something is about to happen)

The initial dialogue (grease marks on the parchment) feels super schoolyard bullying.

Scourgify - choking him, seen described as “waterboarding” very cogently though I’m still iffy on that, but we do know it’s very much the lizard brain not the thinking brain that reacts to that - you’re terrified of drowning like that, wizarding or not. It's quite a cruel thing to do.

“Leave him alone.”

“I will if you go out with me, Evans,” said James quickly. “Go on… go out with me and I’ll never lay a wand on old Snivelly again.”

“Quickly!” is such a useless adverb! There are still so many ways of interpreting that! Quickly as in - he’s said this so many times he doesn’t have to think about it? Quickly as in - he’s not thinking and he says a stupid 16 year old thing which he regrets soon after? Quickly as in - this is fun, almost mutual banter? (doubtful as her earlier statement was said “coldly.”) But also like... what the fuck, James? What the actual fuck?

Ok then Sirius says “bad luck, Prongs” briskly, and Snape reaches his wand. Snape curses James with a spell that leaves a gash across his face “spattering his robes with blood.”

(to be fair to Snape, faces bleed super easily, and a shallow cut on the face will bleed just horribly as any rugby player will tell you.)

Then James sends him upside down. Everyone laughs, and even Lily’s “furious expression” “twitches.”

Then we get the Lily/Snape/James interaction bits - they’re fighting, James undoes the Levicorpus and then the Patrificus Totalus at Lily’s insistence, and then, famously, Snape says, “I don’t need help from filthy little Mudbloods like her!”

Sirius gently mocks James “who looked furious now.”

And the scene concludes with:

“There was another flash of light, and Snape was one again hanging upside-down in the air.

‘Who wants to see me take off Snivelly’s pants?’”

Honestly rereading the chapter I was hoping for some clear insight, and my main reaction is that I have a renewed understanding for why there’s so much debate about this memory!

Without any context, the concluding moment, that James feels humiliated over a rejection by a girl, and he then physically restrains another man, shows off his underwear and threatens to take them off in front of a crowd, feels like standard issue sexual violence (in the sort of hazing/bullying type.)

In context, given that we know Snape and his friends are about to be (or already have been) inducted as Death Eaters, a process that involves murder, this feels like a school-based proxy war in a larger fight and while it might be sexualized violence, it’s not so outside the pale as it would be in our own high school context.

Alright now that I have thoroughly confused myself and gotten nowhere, let me focus on the actual questions given.

"Basically, how do you feel this action reflects on who James is as a person"

Badly! It reflects badly!

To me, I see him as your typical Social Justice Bro - he’ll say the right words, fight against the Baddies with genuine fervor, but he still very much sees women as prizes to be won in exchange for his good behavior.

This is SUCH a common type of person and the idea that Quidditch star, wealthy only child, brilliant Jame Potter falls into that trap is not surprising.

I see there being three options fans can take here:

This memory is accurate and representative: James Potter, like many men, fights on the good side but harbors misogynistic views and treats the women in his life like objects and is willing to use sexualized violence against others as a means of asserting his own masculinity.

This memory is accurate but not representative: This is the worst James Potter ever acted. He never behaved this way again. He apologized to Lily. He did his feminist reading. He worked on his own shit. (I think this is the one JKR wants us to take? But who knows and who cares with her.)

This memory is not accurate: Snape, being very smart and very highly motivated, like many people like him, has slowly and steadily edited his own memories to better fit into a narrative he feels comfortable with. (This explains why his recollections of the MWPP conversations are so accurate and unflattering and also why he seems to have done zero healing or maturing in the past 10 years and bullies children. He has been stewing in his own edited memories rather than healing and moving on.)

I can vibe with all of them, depending on what kind of story I want to write/read/imagine.

where does it say in book text that Mulciber used Levicorpus against Mary Macdonald?

It doesn’t. I think I remember the meta you’re referencing (I remember it being very good and interesting!)

“Mulciber! What do you see in him, Sev, he’s creepy! D’you know what he tried to do to Mary Macdonald the other day?”

…

“It was Dark Magic, and if you think that’s funny-”

It’s super vague in canon. I interpret it as an act of sexual violence, because that’s where my brain always goes, but it’s incredibly vague!

Anon, I hope you don’t think the fact I managed to write 1,000 words and weasel my way out of answering your questions means I don’t deeply appreciate them! I hope you have a stupendous evening <3 <3

you reblogged that post about dropping harry potter, so i was wondering: why is that different for you and voltron? i'm not trying to attack you

oh my god. alright

the writers/creators of vld suck fucking ass. lauren montgomery and joaquim dos santos could choke to death at this moment and i would laugh. HOWEVER, despite how shitty and stupid their decisions were during the show, there are a few reasons they are not the same as jk rowling.

number one, they made homophobic and racist decisions while creating their content. what they didn’t do is release a transphobic manifesto to their millions of fans. that’s like...vastly different

number two, voltron does not have even REMOTELY the same influence that harry potter does. at all. at ALL.

number three, LM and JDS are making no money off of me. i know that this was part of that post i reblogged, saying that even if you are pirating the content you’re still supporting it. the reasoning for that there, as far as i can tell, is that you are actively engaging in (and therefore encouraging the engagement of others who may or may not monetarily support) a series made by someone whose violently transphobic rhetoric is literally being cited in legislation that works to punish trans people. that’s not...the case, though, with voltron. even if my engagement with voltron inspires someone else to watch the show or god forbid, buy the toys they made, it doesn’t have the same destructive power of normalization that engaging with harry potter does.

number four, i am not participating in death of the author like the people that post is targeted at. every part of my engagement with voltron is based around criticism or fanon interpretation that clashes with canon. i am not making excuses for or just putting aside that LM and JDS did fucking horrible things.

that post was targeted specifically at harry potter for a reason: HP is WIDESPREAD throughout the entire WORLD. it has a massive influence, and by association, so does jkr. voltron doesn’t, and never will. they just are not on the same level in any reality

#i feel like i explained this shitty but i've not slept much in the past 2 days so i'm sorry i hope it makes sense #ren could probs explain better than me as per usual but anyways #juno.txt #Anonymous
