#my hc because fuck jkr
waxingrunes · 7 months

I’m seeing too much of this across all channels and I need to write a little something on my humble blog with my humble amount of followers, because how else am I going to get this off my chest.
Some of you need to remember that this whole world we created is pure, fiction. It’s based off fiction and we are building off fiction, forking off in different directions with characters we love.
The canon vs fanon debate is ongoing and quite honestly, mind numbingly pointless and you all consistently contradict and overlap one another with whatever discourse you’re riding that week. You lot wanna argue a point by saying, “these are my hc’s and I can do what I like with them stop taking everything so seriously teeheehehehe” then uno reverse that the next minute by screaming, “that would never happen *insert name* is this or is that” but fuck canon right? Fuck JKR? Or is it more, fuck the parts of canon I don’t like and I’ll take the parts I do so I can shove them down the throats of creators who represent these characters in an opposing light. The amount of posts I’ve seen floating around these sites that are people preaching to their audiences about how dumb they are (unless it’s meant to be satire, I’m not a brainless sensitive lump with no humour bone) for liking certain things, or enjoying certain things, or preferring certain aspects in a character is astounding. Take pause before jumping on your high horse over a fictional character and shaming people for moulding them into what they enjoy. Is this not the beauty of fiction, imagination; the ability to twist and turn over different traits and appearances within our palms and make them into our own little dress up dolls?
Here’s my two cents as a WOLFSTAR artist, not a Marauders— if I want to make Sirius into a teacup and Remus into a sea slug and have him curl up to sleep every night in his bowl, then I’ll do that with fine china detail. If I want to make Sirius someone who refuses to wear nothing but a specific shade of tangerine and Velcro strapped trainers, I will. One day I might throw Moony into a boxing ring and have him be a middleweight champion, stained by the blood of his opponent whilst his wolf is chomping at the bit to come out just before the full moon threatens to take centre stage. If I want to make Sirius 6ft tall and Remus 5ft1, I will. Why not draw an AU of them as the rocks from Everything, Everywhere All At Once? Maybe, they can be something as simple as a boy and a boy who look the way you want them to look, fuck the way you want them to fuck and fall in love and fight, and scream, and cry, and make up a million different ways.
Let’s get more specific as the seal’s broken. Why not make Remus plus sized and give him a beard or a dad’s bod at age 23. Or maybe because he’s lighter haired he doesn’t have dark hair like that and only has a smattering of it across the ugliest of his scars. Consider this— moony with softer hips but fuller sturdy shoulders. Or long, slender limbs with a deceptively hidden strength owing to his wolf, stronger than James though he doesn’t look it. Onto Sirius, try to tell me I’m not going to put him in thigh highs and fem the shit out of him whilst he holds a bat in one hand covered in the blood of someone who tried to disrespect his Moons. Alert the press when someone erases every single one of his tattoos only to replace them with hyperpigmentation. What about giving him a beater’s build and a long thick trail of naval hair that he likes to call his ‘seeker’s delight’. What about a hairless Sirius who has a soft life and likes to make herself pretty for her 6ft 4 boyfriend every weekend when he gets on the train to visit.
How about, I stick with my personal holy take on the boys and present you with a harmless middle ground where Moony is whatever the fuck I want him to be physically, emotionally, or characteristically but always a wet fucking cloth for Sirius. A grape, under a thumb, you could say. And a Sirius, who is too whatever I want him to be physically, emotionally, or characteristically but will always be Moony’s biggest cheerleader.
Stay with me whilst I offer you the brain stretching, risky, taboo thought for you to ponder on: stop trying to please people. Stop absorbing all these takes that pressure you into thinking you’ve got to include every fucking thing that shaves you down and boxes you into their squeaky clean little creator! Indulge in what you like. Make it public, make it known and make it as loud as you want. Feels good on this side of freedom.
Lastly, quick (none of this has been quick) circle back to myself being a Wolfstar artist, not a Marauders one. I will not be shamed into drawing the women in this fandom, I will not try to even out my art with equal parts women and men, in fear of being called misogynistic. I came here for Wolfstar and I stay for them; I get 95% of my muse from them and enjoy drawing these idiots nearly every single day when I can. I’ve a busy life, a job, the luxury of a family that love me and a couple friends I’d like to keep too. If and when I draw, it’s going to be what I want to draw and want to indulge in, not to check off your boxes of inclusion. I am not going to defend my choice of indulgence to you. I am not going to refute women or wlw ships and in fact, eat up stories or art where they’re prominent. Will I have muse or will to do a piece on them? Probably not. If I do, I will and if it’s not done to a standard deemed appropriate enough by the council, well shit I hope I get an honourable mention in one of your hate threads on Twitter.
Grow up. I am the type of person who has a more or less rigid taste on these boys and what I, enjoy representing them like and you runts will run your throats hoarse before I turn an ear. I am not the type of person to see someone who doesn’t like what I prefer and start slamming my keyboard and slap them with a red card. I’ll move on but appreciate the take in silence. Some of you really, come across like you’re stomping your feet in a tantrum, some of you sound like you’ve never been told to shut the fuck up a day in your life and some of you, some of you, really think you’re a messiah.
Fuck your canons, fanons and righteous attitudes towards people who are quite literally, not real. You are not a deity of the Marauders, you are a fucking loser offline just like the rest of us.

absolute WORST severus snape takes you've seen?
gonna organize these from Batshit Horrible to Mildly Irksome
- “James Potter wrote the notes in the HBP potions textbook and Snape stole it”. saw it in a youtube comment and. what
- “Snape is an incel” does he blame all women for his problems? does he hold misogynistic views? does he do misogynistic things? no. just because he had weird history with a woman doesn’t make him a fucking incel bye ppl r so weird for this take.
- Louis Garrel as a faceclaim. who coined this, i just wanna talk. don’t mind the gun in my hand. i just wanna talk i just wanna talk. no cuz this shit has done IRREPARABLE damage to my pinterest i can’t find good snape fcs without being bombarded with louis garrel images (i’m being so dramatic but i HATE HIM) HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SEVERUS SNAPE AT ALL
- That he and the marauders’ thing was a “rivalry”. A 4 against 1 is not a rivalry. Just admit your faves are bullies it is 1000% okay to like antagonists.
- that he “deserved” what happened in the SWM chapter. idc what awful shit he believed at the time, he was FIFTEEN. he was a CHILD and anyone who doesn’t understand that is likely a child themselves
- that he’s “greasy because of the potions fumes” no bc then everyone would be greasy after potions class and it would be mentioned. severus was a severely neglected child. he never got into the habit of properly bathing himself and that carried on into adulthood.
- when people snatch his entire character and personality and everything and push it onto regulus, then claim to hate snape but loveee regulus black. like bro you just gave him snape’s entire arc word for word but now suddenly bc it’s regulus it’s a good redemption arc? bffr
- every single time he’s ever been mentioned in that rlly popular fanfiction All The Young Dudes. actually every single take in All The Young Dudes is bad. and this isn’t snape specific or anything but i heard that some professor at a university made his students read ATYD for a project. and i’m. flabbergasted bc it’s the biggest piece of horseshit. like snape stuff aside its not a well written fanfiction. it just has all the shiny bells and whistles that the marauders fandom likes.
- relating to that point, the draco malfoyification of severus snape in marauders fanfics in order to make him the antagonist. like i get you want an antagonist but. ugh just irksome it’s not true to his character
- JKR’s drawing of snape w a beard. like who the hell is that
- when ppl hc him to have abs. why?? because he lifted a few cauldrons? bffr
I could probably think of a billion more since this fandom is a nightmare but. yes there u go <3 ily ty for asking i genuinely love answering these

i am a fan of the dream smp but i dont post about it and i have most of the fanbase on here blocked from ye olden days. i dont like interacting with the fandom other than fanart so dont expect that from me if ur blocked nothing personal just how it is
i'm a writer. in theory. mostly i liveblog and shitpost and reblog art but occasionally i will upload my own art or writing
i do not tag for shipping mostly because i am absolute dogshit at remembering. i am an adult and i don't shy away from reblogging suggestive or the occasional nsfw post, but usually they're tagged under #suggestive or #nsft.
i am a beginner artist! please be nice to me :') i use krita
for hc s10 i'll be maining grian, joel, scar, and etho, but as of right now i am also caught up on mumbo, iskall, gem, zombiecleo, and i'm trying to slowly work my way through other people's povs
i main grian and joel! i go apeshit insane over scarian and smalletho, but i also enjoy gribeans/joelian and smallidarian/badboys content. treebark fan by osmosis. outside of trafficblr i watch a lot of content creators but ive been a fan of slimecicle and jschlatt for a while
used to be a wilburian. still like c!wilbur, disappointed and ignoring the actual guy. support shelby shubble and victims of abuse
i dont tag things as duo names i think its dumb as fuck i portmanteau their names or use "ship names" even if i dont care whether its romantic or platonic. if that bothers you block button
i dont believe in dnis but if you are a fan of dreamteam vivziepop jkr matpat or brendon urie i am probably going to block you. no terfs no swerfs no maps no zionists no racists or anti-semities and i am NOT pro-endo but i dont really care?? as long as you dont cause syscourse ur welcome idgaf
i <3 heart weird problematic labels like boygirl fagdyke mspec butch lesbians bi lesbians bi gays cisgender het aros furries neopronouns xenogenders objectum and if any of that bothers you. well. block button

JESSIE BABE DO YOU WRITE FOR SEAMUS FINNIGAN???
i love my irish baby but there's not much content for him. :(
anyways if you do write for him could you do some fluffy dating hcs with him? <333
♡ dating headcanons - s.f ♡
ofc!! <3 @xosunshiine
Tumblr media
starstruckwillows 🂱
pairing; seamus finnigan x reader
category; fluff, headcanons
summary; cute headcanons for dating seamus finnigan
warnings/content; some swearing
other; none
Tumblr media
(we're going to be toning down the "blows stuff up" trait because we all know that was jkr's stereotypes shining through)
•when he talks really quickly, you may struggle to understand what he's saying, so you end up nodding and humming. dean translates later.
•speaking of dean - you have to get on with him. dean and seamus have a strong friendship and it'll kill him inside if you can't get on with his best friend. vice versa
•will punch someone for you, hands down. it's a 50/50 to if he wins the fight or not
•he's a halfblood so he understands the muggle world - however, he's a master of the buses in particular, and will take you on loads of dates that require bus journeys
•important dates often slip his mind, so he buys himself a calendar specifically for you and anything to do with what you're doing when you start going out
•has a song he's dedicated to the two of you in his head - the song changes weekly
•he blew up one fucking feather in first year and that's his reputation forever - when you say your boyfriend is seamus, the reaction is usually "oh the exploding gryffindor" to which you have to deadpan glare at them
•you've got to knock some sense into him when he starts yelling at harry for being a liar - it does cause an argument between you, but it's short lived
•he's actually, in his own way, such a gentleman. a genuine nice guy, not the misogynistic standard of men having to pay for everything. i just mean he's always going to be letting people know if their skirts have ridden up, always letting you use his homework, making sure your home/back to your dorm safely
•likes to walk you to your lessons, but it isn't always plausible
•if you're a gryffindor, he's always sitting with you in the common room; if you aren't a gryffindor, he's sneaking you in or vice versa
•if you get detention, he'll get it with you
•if he gets detention, you'll get it with him, and then he'll be mildly annoyed at you for getting yourself in trouble
•you aren't his first partner likely, but you're the last and he makes sure you know it
•probably married quite young? pretty standard in the harry potter universe, probably cos of all the war and stuff, but i see that anyway for him
•definitely buys the best gifts for your birthday, christmas ect. he's just a great gift buyer
•wear his flannels and he'll act mildly annoyed because he wanted to wear it, but try give it back to him and he'll basically force it back to you. whether they're big, small, fit perfectly, basically he loves to see it
•terrible at revising, like he does not want to pay attention and he's so easily distracted. good luck getting him to revise for anything
•he's also terrible at constructing things, e.g shelves. it always ends up with the two of you on the floor crying over unnecessarily vague instructions, before abandoning it for takeaway
•burns himself all the time when cooking
•has also burnt himself lighting a cigarette before

you know what's so exhausting and disheartening? i love black!remus headcanons and i used to get so excited when i saw ANYONE share the same feeling (black hcs are practically non-existent. usually when racebending characters they are all just ambiguously brown often light skinned) but it's gotten to the point where i reflexively shy away from it now because making a white character black almost ALWAYS means to make them more "masculine" and dominant. especially when the other half of a ship is white like you said. it's just fans using blackness as a way to make a statement about the character's "role" in the relationship.
I’m so sorry anon. That would be so disheartening and even frustrating!!! Black Remus is beautiful but the way people depict him next to a tiny white feminine Sirius, changing Remus’ canon height to super tall, making him buff and angrier and dominant, is weird as fuck. Black Remus who is soft and kind and hides his anger until he’s around someone he feels safe and not judged by!!! Black Remus who is adored by his parents!!
Like at this point, it really is concerning the amount of casual racism that goes unchecked in this fandom. My block list is at an all time high and like it’s ridiculous how jegulus and wolfstar treat characters of colour next to white characters just so they can have the ‘dynamic’ they want, even if that means ALWAYS making the white character short, hairless, feminine, ect….. it’s weird! It’s uncomfortable! It’s tone death! And at times it’s even hypocritical because of the amount of people that preach against jkr and about better representation but then turn around and do their white queer thing without a care or thought. It’s disappointing.

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics?
hello! requesting a rant pls and thank you xx
request granted xoxo
honestly i feel like there are a few characters i could rant about rn i have been seeing some things lately that activate my haterism but!! let's see...
sirius is for sure my favorite character so. 2 respond 2 the ask. one of my fave hcs/the way i basically always write him is as a gay man. like. that never really changes for me + is kind of an essential part of the way i interpret his character. i don't really care if people hc otherwise but i just am not really interested in fics where he isn't gay!
something that does bother me tho is people who like....strip away or water down all his canon flaws. obviously people should write him however they want in their own stories, but it just bugs me when people take stuff like the prank or the general cuntiness that sirius exhibits in canon and either act like it makes him irredeemable OR act like it needs 2 be erased to make him likeable. i really view sirius as someone who sort of naturally tends towards meanness in certain ways and who finds it easier to be unkind than kind, and to me it's really important that he is specifically someone who struggles towards kindness + thoughtfulness + just an awareness of other people's feelings, bc it doesn't come naturally to him. and i don't really care if other people interpret his character differently, but i do care when i see people acting like the "sirius is kinda mean" interpretation is like.....morally corrupt or somehow inferior, because characters doing bad things means they're Bad. like whenever i see someone climbing onto a moral high horse just bc they've essentially erased a large portion of a character's canon characterization to make them more palatable it makes me want to bash my head into a wall <3
bonus mini-rants:
i loooooove making marlene a "mean lesbian stereotype" and hate when people complain abt it
i think it's fucking weird when people look at the popular hc of dorcas going after voldemort for revenge and call that "female rage"
i dislike it when people insist that lily being a "good mother" is the most important part of her character. same goes for narcissa. jkr's weirdness abt motherhood is one of the main ways that sexism is baked into the source material of this fandom which is why i think people need 2 stop acting like u can just close ur eyes + pretend jkr doesn't exist when writing hp fanfic, bc then u get shit like people regurgitating her weird moralizing abt mothers lmao

Idk how I just noticed your pinned post but your fandom taste?? beyond immaculate.
I am humbly asking if you perhaps have any hcs for a gravity falls!au for stranger things, and/or a hogwarts!au 👀
beck, we simply have the best of taste. and yes i do have headcanons
disclaimer: fuck jkr
gravity falls au hcs:
so. will and el are the mystery twins. we been knew
visiting hop in gravity falls, oregon, for the summer of course
the rest of the party happens to have summer jobs at the mystery shack
(why hopper hired them all, he will never know. to this day, it is still one of the best and worst things he's ever done)
i think that the other party members (max, mike, lucas, and dustin) have a little mystery club. a gang, if you will
i think they have journal 3 and they give will and el a brief evaluation before inviting them in to the club
when will and el have their first supernatural encounter and end up defeating the gnomes with a leafblower, the party knows that they're perfect for their club
will and el are just. stunned. to hear about all the stuff that goes down in gravity falls
they love the lore and yeah they might've just fought off a shit ton of gnomes but WOAH there are that many other cool things here too??
of course they have to avoid the watchful eye of hopper
but their friends and fellow employees steve and robin (wendy and soos respectively) help them sneak around and figure things out
the party lets will and el borrow journal 3 to look over
when el sees the page about vampires, she's immediately convinced that mike is one
and while will waves it off and says that that's ridiculous, he can't help but wonder as well
el takes it upon herself to ask max who just laughs and says that they're explored that idea many times, but it doesn't seem to be true
the golf cart is the main form of transport for the party
you're probably wondering, how on earth do six people fit in a golf cart??
well, easy enough answer there: lucas and max in the front, el and will in the back, mike hanging on the side, and dustin on top
they strap dustin in with bungee cords because they've had a few accidents too many
i think max is able to send bill cypher back into oblivion with just one dirty look
bill cypher may be like a demon of multiple worlds, but he has other worlds he can take over that don't involve the wrath of max
el plays matchmaker just like mabel does, but she gets max involved in it too
these girls are the finest matchmakers in all of gravity falls
well. until it came to mike and will
they tried several times to get those two together but god they were both so helpless, el and max just gave up eventually
MIKE FELL FIRST AND MIKE FELL HARDER.
this cute little nerdy boy obsessed with all the cryptids?? who keeps drawing them as they fight them all summer and adding more illustrations to the journal?? has his heart.
will spends most of his summer learning more about this stuff and getting excited about it
he does. think about mike. maybe just a bit
but he often tries to push those thoughts aside bc there's no way mike would like him back AND he has monsters to focus on
until one day lucas casually asks will how he and mike are doing and will is like ????
lucas thought they were dating
okay maybe he knew they weren't and just wanted to stir the pot but still it was enough to make will open his eyes
mike meanwhile has finally broken down and gone to the girls for advice
to which he is greeted with both enthusiasm and a speech of "if you EVER hurt MY BROTHER..."
but yeah. mike ends up asking will out finally
on pioneer day as well, mike asked will if he would go out with him or if he'd have to settle for marrying a woodpecker
will happily agreed
but anyway
uh
lucas punches a pterodactyl in the face
i could go on and on but that's the limit of my brain atm. i love gravity falls. i love stranger things. this was lovely to think about
hogwarts au hcs:
ok so sorting the party into their houses is difficult as fuck. i can honestly see a valid argument of putting the party members in almost any house, and i'm totally here for that discussion, but for this hc set, these are the houses i'm putting them in:
mike: slytherin, will: gryffindor, dustin: ravenclaw, lucas: hufflepuff, max: slytherin, el: gryffindor
dustin is muggle born but god that does not stop him from learning and absorbing everything he can about the wizarding world
el has a cat, mike, lucas, max, and will have owls, and dustin has a toad
the toad's name is scribbles
idk why, it just is
also lucas and will play quidditch!! lucas is a keeper and will is a chaser
fred and george did not pass the maurauder's map to harry. they passed it to max and will
max and will have not told a soul that they have it, but they use it to their advantage and love it
mike and el have a competition of collecting chocolate frog cards
who has the most, the rarest ones, the most diverse set, etc
el is winning btw
lucas thinks the toothpaste every flavor bean tastes good
they all have some wonderful wizarding talents as well
as i said before, will and lucas are on the quidditch team, so they're good at that
lucas is also great in care of magical creatures
he loves every single one of those animals and knows just how to calm them and care for them
el has a real knack for herbology!!
she actually wants to come back and teach it after she graduates
el also. wants a pet mandrake
dustin is a potions MASTER
he learns all these tricks and does them so well that he could practically write a second edition of the half-blood prince's book
mike is good at charms!
he loves all those little helpful spells that just make life easier, ya know
those are the best
max is FANTASTIC at transfiguration
she can turn anything into. anything
in fact max has this little business (that might not be entirely safe or legal for her to do by wizarding standards, but she does it anyway)
she helps transfigure body parts of dysphoric trans hogwarts students
shh don't tell anyone
mike got the most O.W.L.s.
no one knows how, but he did
also max once locked umbridge in the room of requirement
"it was what i required at that time! it wasn't my fault, i swear!"
oh you know how i said dustin has a toad scribbles
he also is in the toad choir at hogwarts
he and scribbles both have voices of angels
when they're old enough, lucas and el get put as head boy and head girl
will is a prefect
mike flirting with him shamelessly and will trying to stay professional but he can't help but melt at his boyfriend's dumb little attempts to catch him off guard
sometimes he gets so flustered from mike's flirting that he can't remember the password to the common room and he has to wait for someone else to come back to help him
setting them in the year of triwizard tournament rn
lucas is the hogwarts champion!!!!!! bc who tf else i mean come on he's perfect
will drawing banners for lucas and mike charming them to animate
byler dancing at the yule ball :(((((((
ugh god i. i love them
again i could go on and on but that's the limit of my brain for tonight
hope you enjoyed!!!!!!

My unpopular opinion is that if Peter weren’t fat and ugly then Sirius/Peter would be an extremely popular and mainstream ship, while Wolfstar would be a rarepair and Prongsfoot would stay as it is now - because i see prongsfoot as a ship for people who love to see Sirius in a healthy and balanced relationship. Wolfstar and Sirius/Peter are/would be for people who love the drama and the emotional turmoil.
dude. DUDE. i fully agree with this. i think a large part of how peter is treated/used/characterised stems from his physicality. it's almost like a woke parallel to jkr's beauty morality politics.
i literally cannot even tell u how often i've been annoyed by the way peter gets treated by the marauder fandom, specifically. because yeah, i get not everyone's gonna like a snivelling rat but--the corner of the fandom that operates purely on fanon and has changed everyone's character? yeah, zero excuses there.
not just the fact that peter often gets zero romantic/sexual attachments (and lets not even talk ab the 'ace/aro hcs bc hes fundamentally unloveable/so ugly no one wants him') even in spaces where's he's redeemed, but even if he's still a bad guy, so what? this is the fandom that's casually redeemed regulus black, barty crouch, all the other assortment of DEs. i dont get why peter's always the one who gets left behind. (i mean,,,,i kinda do,,,but yeah, idk what their rationale is)
and then theres also the peter art oh my god. it just. there's nothing technically wrong with any of it, but the way peter--a canonically fat guy--is drawn (often very infantilised and non-sexually, even wehn everyone around him is thirst trapped up) vs say, lily--who's the hot new 'plus size' rep--who always gets to be slim-thicc, very fkn sexy, and just overall fun. it's just. it icks me out, ykno?
and then the relationships, of fucking course the ship would be more popular, dude. like, its classic enemies to lovers, classic passion and intensity that can fall on either side of the coin. u can play around a lot with it. and honestly, peter & sirius had way more interactions/moments/chemistry than remus/sirius, like that's my unpopular moment right there lmao
overall, yeah, i get what u mean and i second it. fat characters are not written the best bc its often just a facsimile of how irl fat people are treated and we all know how that goes.

some quick notes on my portrayal of lady d and shipping under the cut - ah, also ? please be mindful and respectful that me sharing my own hcs and portrayal do not necessarily mean that i claim that other hcs and portrayals of other muns are wrong. everybody is entitled to their own hcs and understandings of characters, there’s literally no right or wrong there.
as i have mentioned before  i do not accept nor ship maidens/lady d, she wouldn’t fuck nor fall in love with her own food - with that being said, shipping with her is complicated.  and i feel compelled to express my firm stance against endorsing or engaging in any romantic plots or shipping involving lady d and the maidens under her employ. i see such relations as deeply problematic due to not only the inherent power imbalance in their dynamics and the exploitative nature of their relationship. as much as a queer icon as she is to us all, it is crucial to remember that alcina is and will always be ( except perhaps in aus, of course ) a cruel vampire who feasts on human flesh and effectively keeps these girls as pretty much prisoners/slaves, considering them far beneath her and her daughters in the food chain, depriving them of their autonomy and personhood. with that in mind, romanticising such a relationship could not only perpetuate harmful tropes, but also normalize abuse ( which is a big no no as you can see in my rules ), and i don’t want any of that here. alcina's callous disregard for the well-being of the maidens is an essential aspect of her character, and any attempt to force her into a romantic relationship with them would pretty much undermine her consistency as a character and the gravity of her actions. furthermore, this sort of relationship portrayal may lead to a faux idea that abusive dynamics can be redeemed through love, a notion that can be harmful and manipulative. i am always eager to explore alternative storylines that empower the maidens though, allowing them to break free from their oppressive situations, form supportive bonds, and assert their agency. so yes, i am steering clear of romanticizing these harmful relationships, however in case anyone wants to explore other dynamics i’m 100% here for it. lady d probably would never fall in love or be attracted to a human, that is a regular human, as she finds weakness ( and she deems all humans weak ) disgusting. to get her attention they need to be powerful but not enough to pose as a threat to her or her daughters.
i write her a sapphic demisexual demiromantic as, to me personally, it makes sense considering what i saw of her and the other hcs i have for her - although most hc ( and i say hc because it wasn’t formally confirmed nor denied by capcom itself and despite one of the writers giving his opinion on it in a rather jkr w/ albus fashion, as it is re8 is a collaborative work and in the end the decision to make something canon or not is capcom’s ) her as a lesbian and i have no issue with that,  as a fellow queer i do find the entire man-hating-lesbian trope to be rather harmful. my main issue with this trope is that it follows patriarchal, hetero-normative ideas that often refuse to acknowledge the idea that a relationship between two women can exist on its own without having anything to do with men  ( as most hcs that i have seen are deeply linked to her misandrist personality and the mindset that just because she hates men she is automatically a lesbian ), the trope is flawed, simple minded and rather disrespectful to the sapphic community ( the trope suggests same-sex relationships are rooted solely in disdain for men, trivializing and undermining genuine emotions and love within them ). now, does that mean you cant hc her as lesbian? of course you can! her being lesbian or not is not the issue, hcing her as a lesbian should have nothing to do with this bad trope and we are all free to hc whatever we want that makes sense and relates to us individually, but let us all be mindful of the sexist tropes the fandomTM and the media loves to apply to female characters. as it is, since no official announcement has been made by capcom regarding the character so far, i will write her within the aro/ace spectrum for my own comfort, which i will  explain best in the next section
although she is within the aro/ace spectrum i don’t necessarily belive her to be sex repulsed per se,  though it is worth noting she is nowhere near inclined on having flings or one night stands at all -  ever since day one that she called the attention of the re fandom and from all sort of people, sadly as it usually goes with attractive female characters in media, she was painfully fetishised to no end. that makes me severly uncomfortable and has driven me off from writing her in the past. my portrayal will not focus on her sex appeal to the point of objectifying her, if at all. i want to go beyond that and bring out  depth and authenticity, exploring more than just her appearance. lady d is a lot more than just “tall vampire mommy makes me go brrrr”  she's complex and fascinating, that's why i think it'd be awesome to showcase her forming deep emotional bonds before experiencing sexual or romantic attraction ( if any ). this adds a whole new layer to her identity, and while i'm totally down for some fun shipping, it will be handled it with care. i’m all about respect and creating inclusive fan content that celebrates her character and explores different aspects of her life and relationships.  so while her natural despite for men in general still remains and her usual cruelty to those women who serve her is also present, she'll be free to explore relationships within her demi orientation in case plotting happens. of course some lighthearted flirting might appear every once in a while, but they will be nothing but crack. for actual shipping severe plotting is necessary.

i hate that paragraph u rted abt june and postcanon simply bc of the stupid fucking "wahhh why am i being cancelled for not doing smth so simple as changing a name by 3 letters wahh transfem hcs bad blah blah" mindset that is constantly attached to things like it. its hard to take these ppl seriously when half the folk ageeing will write whole essays on why transgender people can coexist with their deadnames and act like its ok under the guise of its just fiction.
It’s okay to disagree, and I respect your disagreement, but… I’m pretty sure OP’s point wasn’t at all “Transfeminine Headcanons Bad, why am I being cancelled,” and was actually that “You can’t really call people a Bigot based on whether or not they adhere to or even just know about a Dubiously Canon character arc that hasn’t even happened yet.”
OP’s original message wasn’t transphobic- it was just pointing out that it’s kind of ridiculous to assume people are transphobic, and accuse them of such for having a different view of a character from you over a JKR-Style Twitter Confirmation that’s had very minimal Dubious Canonical implementation. They were pointing out that the situation isn’t as black and white as some make it out to be, because again, June’s transition has yet to happen on screen.
I don’t think anyone should be getting on anybody’s ass about the subject as long as they’re respecting other people’s boundaries and not being a fucking asshole- if someone’s comfort/headcanon is Transmasculine John, then you shouldn’t call them June, and if someone’s comfort/headcanon is Transfeminine June, then you shouldn’t call them John. Honestly, I personally think that the latter is more fucked up. Some people are really shitty to people who like/prefer June, and use their own dislike of June’s conceptual existence as an excuse to be Transphobic/Transmisogynistic. Let me be clear, I’m not endorsing that behavior, because that’s just really fucked up.
The people who tackle the subject by saying “Post-Transition Trans people can coexist alongside their Pre-Transition selves as long as it’s Fictional” are in a gray area that’s a slippery slope. That’s fine and applicable for some Trans people, but definitely not all of them, and it shouldn’t be treated like a baseline. Transness is a very nuanced subject, and the experience of Transness is different for quite literally everybody who identifies as Trans or Genderqueer. It’s fine to have that Coexistence be a part of your own experience, and I respect anyone who does have that experience just as much as I do anyone who does not at all have that experience, but definitely not okay to assert that Coexistence as how it “should be,” or imply that that’s in any way Universally True.
I think my personal take on it is that Homestuck as a story doesn’t exist in a temporal vacuum, and this is a nuanced situation. It’s been around for over a decade, was once Mainstream Media, and, comparatively speaking, Postcanon is very new and honestly pretty obscure. People who are Transphobic about June absolutely suck, but the people who don’t know about June or simply respectfully have some other headcanon shouldn’t be lumped in with actual, genuine bigots. Grouping random bystanders together with genuine Transphobes is when some really nasty fallout and unnecessary harm happens.

I agree with your thing about the black brothers, like from someone who has two siblings, one of which I am estranged from. My sister (who I'm not estranged from) has said some shitty things to me, we have gotten in to some fights in our lives but I can not imagine not talking to her
It took a LOT for my brother and I to become estranged and it's only because it is literally not safe for me to have any sort of relationship with him
Alls that being said, the idea that Sirius would just give up on his BABY brother solely because he got sorted into a different house is idiotic. Especially if you agree with the idea that their home was abusive. I feel like Sirius would be SO protective of Regulus and yes I think they drive each other crazy but you can't tell me he was just like "nah fuck this guy we aren't brothers anymore" at 12
I also have seen the hc that Sirius slightly agreed (or maybe didn't agree but thought it was just true) with blood supremacy before he started at hogwarts just because it was all he had ever known and had a hard time the first year or so at hogwarts and his friends were the ones who helped him come to terms with the fact that like no that's not cool
And I think that Sirius understood at least to a degree why Regulus still had those ideas from home and then being reinforced in his house at school. You can't tell me he gave up on him instead of trying to get through to him. I feel like Sirius fought for Regulus literally until he died and you can not convince me otherwise
Anyway, as someone with siblings, I feel like jkr writes siblings in such an unrealistic way and it's super aggravating
*flings self into sun* anon, after my own heart. i didn't come on here with the intention of unraveling all these ties but HERE WE ARE.
yes to estrangement. like you're telling me...the Weasleys wrote off Percy because he...*checks notes* got...a job??? because he had bills to pay?
so i've said before, and i'll say it again, that a big reason why i started writing fic is because i got so tired of seeing Marauders At Hogwarts writing sirius as a rebel without a cause at 11. and i know we see bits of baby sirius on the train in "canon", but its a GLIMPSE and it's told through Snapes POV who is...dlksaf;jdfaskf.
Sirius was raised in a home where pureblood mania was shoved down his throat, and that was it. he got no other view points, no other anything other than Blacks are Best and everyone who errs is incorrect. The arrogance we see in Sirius as a character??? Where do we think that comes from???
Hogwarts was a learning curve for Sirius!! I believe he was sorted into Gryffindor because of his heart and his character and the hat seeing something that even baby sirius couldn't see. and you can bet sirius said "mudblood" at least once and james potter was there like "okay, no, that's not the vibe, muggleborn works" and sirius was like "...huh, i literally never knew there was another word for it. because i was only TOLD there was one word." and adapts!!!
So he GETS regulus. he GETS it. and it takes time and years for sirius to unlearn most of it, and he learns through James and Remus and the rest of his gryffindors, and he knows that he would be regulus if he was in Slytherin!! HE KNOWS. So no, he's not just going to abandon ship, and i really truly think a lot of time at #12 was spent talking to reg like "Hey, no, look at what Im learning!" (which makes sense, you know considering, how reg died etc etc...). Sirius was protective to a fault.
PROTECTIVE. TO. A FAULT.
Soft idiot brother.

Okay so this is my updated hc’s on the Marauders & Co. but there’s no war and no one dies because that just seems unrealistic like how would they ever let that happen
James Potter
• pansexual king
• half Indian on his mothers side and his fathers Scottish his mum moved over to the UK as a young woman then meet his dad here and the married then had him later in life but she makes sure to keep visiting family especially after James was born, going over for most of the summer holidays (they’d always invite Sirius who didn’t accept the invitation until the summer before 7th year as by this time they were living with James but in the other years they made sure to tell them when they’d go and return)
• mother hen to the extreme, always made sure his friends knew they could come to him if they needed comforting or help or just to talk etc
• really bad anxiety because he just doesn’t want to disappoint anyone so when things don’t go as he wanted he quietly freaks outs until he can calm down or someone else calms him down (for years it was just marauders but after getting close with Lily she started to help as well and then later on Regulus as well)
• didn’t actually fancy Lily until about 6th year before that he just thought she was cool and wanted to be friends with them
• but when he did realise he fancied her he f r e a k e d out because he didn’t want to ruin their friendship and briefly forgot how act around them
• everyone saw how much they liked each other but both were oblivious thinking the other just thought of them as a friend so they didn’t get together until just before 7th year at the end of the summer after much convincing from friends
• since there’s no war they decide not to get married so soon and wait a few more years marrying when they’re 24 instead
• Harry’s born about a few years after they get married and you know James is the best dad out there, he’s slightly overprotective just because he knows how he and the marauders were but he’s still a lot of fun
• they have twins after Harry because 1. James was an only child until Sirius (because Sirius is is his sibling and you can’t tell me otherwise, they thought each other siblings since 1st year) and 2. while Lily and Petunia don’t get on as they used to, she always thinks of the time when they did get on and wanted Harry to have that as well
• he’s the cool dad that all of Harry’s friends love so of course they’re house is almost always full of kids
• he’s a great cook because while he enjoyed cooking with his mum when he was younger he got her to teach him as many recipes as she could when he moved out so he could have little dinner parties with the marauders then to spoil Lily after they move in then so he can spoil the kids as well
• he likes Simon & Garfunkel and you can’t change my mind
okay so I am a Jegulily shipper so you can just skip this if you don’t like it or don’t ship them (i fell into a hole of Jegulily don’t at me)
• when James realised he fancied Regulus he again freaked out because he was married to Lily by this point and felt awful since he loved her so much but also liked Regulus
• he did eventually tell Lily after ignoring it for awhile hoping it would go away but it didn’t and he definitely cried when he did so because he thought Lily would hate him and leave him
• but she didn’t obviously but they did both cry about it for a while thinking it was would be the end of their relationship
• they decided to wait a while before telling Regulus to try and see if he did fancy them but neither could tell so it took awhile
• they did tell them though after deciding it’s be best to just do so and if he didn’t like them then they’d get over it together
• Regulus did like both of them though and again everyone cried and hugged a lot because of the relief
• they all dated for awhile before James and Lily decided to ask Regulus to move in with them because they just hated being so far away even though it wasn’t that far
• James always makes time to spend with just Regulus so he doesn’t start to feel left out, he takes them on dates or they go to the cinema together of just lay around curled up next to each on the couch
• he does the same with Lily but also knows when to leave them to be with each other and when to be with both of them
• after Harry and the twins born James makes sure that Regulus knows they’re just as much their parent as he is even if not biological
• anyways James lives a very long and happy life with his family and friends

i need a raven cycle support group
recently i found out that maggie stiefvater is racist and not even subtly so. i love the raven cycle and this book series was what got me through my middle school and early high school years. i could say i’m a huge fan but i can’t believe that some of the comments in the books were racist and i didn’t notice. the moments are when ronan mocks henry’s way of speaking and adam laughs along. another time is when ronan and adam make fun of henry for being half chinese . they make comments like “he’s half chinese” “which half?” both times blue and gansey call them out on it but just telling the boys to stop and not address the fact that they were being racist either in that moment or any point later on in the books is not good enough. maggie could have intended those scenes as a way to show adam and ronan’s distrust and jealousy towards henry because he’s new to their group but there could have been better ways to go about showing that, and that is maggie’s fault. the way henry’s whole character is written is also extremely problematic for the fact that a white woman wrote it. she does not know the first person experience of being asian. i’m asian and i thought henry’s character was accurate, in the way that he is overly aware he is asian and even makes self-deprecating comments about his race. i thought this was, stupidly enough, an accurate and real representation of asian teens in our day in age because i related and i realize that’s is extremely wrong. it would have been ok if an asian author had wrote this, but maggie, a white woman wrote it, who would have had no idea what that feeling of self hatred because of your race feels like, if she had researched, that would have been one thing but as far as i know she didn’t. and the fact that she made the only two queer characters say it is extremely upsetting. because of this, she not only othered henry, the only poc character (while blue is hc to be a woc, maggie has said she is “racially ambiguous”. that’s such a jkr move for trying to get diversity points after publication) she demonized the only other diversity she has, her two queer characters. i loved and shipped pynch but after reevaluating the series and the characters, it just shows another prevalent issue within the lgbtqia+ community, some white queer people are still racist and white queer people need to realize that in the lens of the world, they will be seen as white first before queer, and therefore are at a greater advantage. ronan and adam are an example of this and i wish that maggie had realized this when she wrote this. this isn’t even a new thing, there were articles written in 2017 (tumblr account explaining what she did) (article) about her being a racist author. knowing that i was reading and supporting these books at that time makes me feel so disappointed and if i had done research, i would have never had finished this series and fallen in love with it. i guess i just want to say i’m so disappointed that maggie is like this and i’m disappointed in myself for being bi and asian and not seeing the problems in the books and foolishly thinking it was a series with great representation because at the time i was reading these books, i was at my lowest mentally and they helped me escape. it’s heartbreaking to let go of this series since it was such a huge part of my formative years. i’m in no way blaming the fandom because as fans, we’re victims of the way the author presents their own preconceptions and ignorance into their writing and we grasp onto whatever we can when it comes to characters with the littlest bit of representation. does anyone in the fandom know this, was anyone aware? idk if i should keep liking these series or just forget about it, but i know that i’ll no longer be supporting maggie stiefvater (which really fucking sucks cuz i was in the middle of the dreamer trilogy and ronan was literally my comfort character but most of the racist comments said in the books were said by ronan). i just hope this starts a discussion in our fandom, i just wanna know i’m not alone.

in my mind Hermione (since she is aware of trans people, I also hc her using she/they pronouns) always asks a person their pronouns when she meets them, and teaches her friends and family to do the same, and slowly Ron and harry without noticing when meeting someone they are like "hello! what are your pronouns?"
Yo and I bet Ron says it first without realizing it and Harry makes fun of him for like 3 days.
But seriously? Disrespect someone's pronouns infront of them and you might as well bury yourself.
Hi, Hermione will take your nipples as a trophy or some shit, I don't know but she's definetly taking someone from you to keep. And if you disrespect Hermione's pernouns?
Oh, pray to Jesus dude. Harry and Ron will tie your ass to a chair and she'll give you a very loud lecture on basic human decency.
BUT ALSO YES (SHE/THEM) FITS HERMIONE SO WELL AAA.
Yo, just think of a teacher accidentally deadnaming someone and Harry has to stop Hermione from climbing over the desk to present everyone's pronouns for like the 5th time in a row.
But then imagine a class where Hermione's not there and someone uses the wrong pronoun and Harry and Ron just sigh and go up to the board and began doing Hermione's presentation for them because she's sick or something.
I love this. Also, fuck JKR.

Being Sirius Black’s daughter would include...
Requested by: anon
As usual. Gif creds to the owner:) enjoy !!
Warnings: some swearing
Tumblr media
Okay so let’s just imagine that dumbledore didn’t let Sirius rot in Azkaban despite knowing he was innocent all along bc dumbledore is a bit of a dick
And obv Sirius didn’t die bc fuck you JKR the fandom is ours now and we say Sirius is alive
I’ve always headcanonned (It’s a word now) that Sirius’s daughter would be a little bit younger than Harry by a few years and would’ve been raised along side him (James and lily still die in my hc bc plot convenience?)
Your own mother died pretty soon after you were born thanks to the first wizarding war, so sirius ended up with dead best friends, one traitor, a two-and-a-half year old and a newborn all within two years
Yeah he was in way over his head
He didn’t give up though. Your cot was next to his bed, and Harry often waddled in for cuddles in the middle of the night. Sirius was in no position to object, and made sure both infants were settled and sound asleep before he even considered his own sleep
There was a lot of help from Uncle Moony, who Sirius and his girlfriend (your mum) had named as your godfather
‘Calm down, Sirius, she’s just got wind. Here, like this’ he puts the tea towel over sirius’s shoulder and teaches him how to wind you properly. “There we go. Always remember the tea towel or you’ll end up with a back covered in vomit”
Teamwork makes the dreamwork really
As you and Harry grow up, there are LOTS of pictures taken, and Remus and Sirius quickly fill multiple scrapbooks with all of your adventures.
Harry starts to show signs of magic when he turns 4. He somehow managed to change the colour of your teddy. Your magic showed itself moments after when you indignantly turned it back
You cried when Harry got his hogwarts letter and left for school that September. “Promise you’ll write?” You had said, and he did promise
A few days later, Hedwig comes to the window with a letter. You tear it open and let her have some of your toast as you read it.
“Dad! Moony! Harry’s a Gryffindor!” You announced and they both cheered. You carried on reading. “Hey... who’s professor Snape? Harry said he’s the worst...”
Sirius roared with laughter, but remus frowned. “We went to school with Severus,” remus said slowly, fixing Sirius with a pointed glare. “We didn’t get on. We’re grown ups now, though,”
The last bit was DEFINITELY aimed at Sirius.
You’re thrilled when you get your hogwarts letter- the owl also had a letter for remus, requesting he teach Defense
It takes some convincing, but he eventually agrees to it, replying to dumbledore as Sirius takes you to Diagon Alley.
You get an ice cream from Florean Fortescue, but Sirius notices you’re a little quieter
“What’s wrong, love?” He asks gently
“Dad... you know how you, uncle Moony and Harry are all in gryffindor?”
He reaches across the table and squeezes your hand. “If you get put in gryffindor, we’ll be proud of you. And if you get put in any of the others, we’ll still be proud of you, alright love?”
“Even Slytherin?” You whisper, because you’ve heard all about Sirius’s blood-supremacist family and the slytherin reputation after reading Harry’s school books back to front (and some of remus’s)
Sirius looks at you with the SOFTEST eyes imaginable, and smiles. “Even slytherin. Because I know you’ve got it in you to be nothing like my lot,” he says, and you’re soon reassured.
During your first year, remus keeps a close eye on both you and harry- there are MANY floo calls and owls in the first term
You soon become a force to be reckoned with, truly Sirius Black’s daughter
You and Harry rat one another out to Sirius and Remus, and it’s often a game of who can get there first, especially if you’re both in the wrong
Around your fifth year, boys (or girls) start making their way into the scene
What starts off with innocent dates in Hogsmeade soon turns into you getting caught snogging someone two years above you in Snape’s classroom
You earn yourself a month of detention
Is your father angry?
Is he SHITE
You get a howler the next day (bc Harry AND Remus can’t KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT and love the gossip)
‘YN MY GIRL WELL DONE A MONTHS DETENTION IN ONE SITTING? I’M SO BLOODY PROUD OF YOU MY GIRL, MOONY SAID HE’S NEVER SEEN SNAPE LOOK MORE CONSTIPATED IN HIS LIFE!’
There’s a little lull of silence before the howler starts up again ‘WAIT YOU WERE CAUGHT W I T H SOMEONE? WHO WAS IT? I BET IT WAS THAT DONNOVAN KID! YOU WAIT, MADAM, AND YOU, DONNOVAN, KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF! THAT GOES TO ALL YOU LITTLE BASTARDS LOOKING AT MY DAUGHTER!’
The howler explodes and you cover your face
Harry laughs the loudest
You flip him off across the great hall/table
And get an extra detention for it too
It’s worth it though
Because Remus snorted pumpkin juice everywhere and Snape’s eyes practically bulged from his face
You totally introduce ‘Donnovan’ to Sirius the next hogsmeade weekend
Be on my tag list :)
Tag list: @a-hopeless-fan @lotsoffandomrecs @justanotherwildstar @kashishwrites @rai-strangebr @zodiyack @haphazardhufflepuff @dumbfuckinslytherin @severuslovebot
