#this is far fetched ik that's why i said headcanon

[pebblysand]

hi pal, how r ye? weird ask ik but thoughts on bisexual!harry?

hello! not weird at all - a very valid question.

that said, i always feel a bit odd when people ask me for opinions about characters/canon events though, because i feel like there's always this expectation that i have a Strong Headcanon about these things, which honestly i mostly don't. i'm pretty neutral on most characters - like: yes, i have my view of them, but if someone has a different view, i'm not going to fight them, you know? i tend to bow out of conversations every time people start drilling into metas and text interpretations, because i find that everyone just seems to have much stronger thoughts than me about most things. i think there's a million ways to interpret canon, and i don't think my way is the only valid interpretation. i really don't feel that strongly about anything 🤣.

that said, from a writing/fic perspective: i guess i feel... neutral about it? i've said this before but i'll say it again: i think really good writing can sell me anything. it could sell me harry as a pirate, harry as a serial killer, harry as a god, if it wanted to, so i don't have any strong objections to anything. i'll read slash fics or fics with harry being bisexual if they're well-written. i suppose the one ship i really don't see is tomharry/harrymort - that seems very far-fetched to me, but again, i think a really good fic could potentially even sell that to me, if the characterisation work was done well.

having said that, i personally wouldn't write bisexual!harry because personally, in my own view of the text, i just don't see it, so it would be hard for me to sell it to other people. i know a lot of people will point to him calling men "handsome" all the time and label that as "basically canon", and if that's your boat, then by all means float it, but i personally think this is just JKR being a straight woman and describing people the way she sees them. also, calling someone of the same sex "handsome" doesn't make you bisexual/gay - i find women pretty all the time, but i identify as (mostly) straight, so. i think if you put a gun to my head and asked me: is "bisexual!harry canon?" i would say "no," because JKR clearly meant him as straight, and interpreting the text any differently is reaching. I appreciate that a lot of people are very #deathoftheauthor with JKR, but i am not.

that said, if you asked me: is is canon-compliant? sure, you can make a lot of things canon-compliant if you want to. you just have to build more on top of canon. there is nothing in canon that says: harry will never be attracted to a man ever, and as such, you can for sure make bisexuality canon-compliant. you just have to work on it and sell it. and, if you want to tell me that's your canon, then fine, why not? it's your interpretation and it's just as valid as mine or JKR's.

i think the way i view these things is more like: how big of a writing hurdle is it to make me believe them? so, for instance, if you were to write a hinny fic, my tolerance for mediocre writing is higher, because i already believe in that relationship. if you were to write a dramione, harmony, drarry or harry/ron fic, your writing hurdle might be a little bit higher, but i do generally think all of these relationships are within the realm of possibilities, and therefore i'll buy it if it's decently written. if you were to write harrymort or snarry, i'm like: mate, that's a Hard Sell, but sure look it, if you think you can pull it off, be my guest.

that's as far as shipping harry with canon male characters goes, though. if we're talking in the abstract, could harry be with another man? i think ... yeah. like, why not? i genuinely don't believe anyone is 100% gay or straight, i think we all sort of float somewhere on that spectrum, so maybe he could potentially meet someone he likes. again, it's probably not what JKR intended, but you can make it canon-compliant. i think it's unlikely, because i think he's probably like 90% straight, but that 10% is open. there's just other canon characters who i think are more likely to be bisexual than he is.

i also think that it's important to acknowledge that it's understandable and important that people write harry as bisexual. like, i totally understand why someone would do that. it's representativity, and openness, etc. but i also don't think changing the canon sexual orientation of canon characters (as in: giving them a different sexual orientation than the one JKR intended) is the only way that can be achieved. HP obviously lacks representativity in that area (esp in light of today's standards) but i tend to focus my diversity writing on OCs, and that's just my way to do it.

additionally, if i want to do something with canon characters, i tend to focus on the sexual orientation of characters who are a bit secondary, whose head you're not in, and for whom, thus, sexual orientation is a bit more of an open question. i think you can easily do that with ginny (in fact one of my favourite fics i've read in recent years in ginny/luna) or with people like seamus or dean, who are in the background enough that you just don't know what they think/who they're attracted to.

but again, i'm a canon-compliant writer. i'm a canon-compliant reader. if you're writing this wild AU where you're totally disregarding the canon characters and settings and just writing whatever you please, then obviously that's a different question.

Headcanon/Theory Time

The Vuelie (you know the one) is sort of a prophecy song about Anna. Just like there was a legend about a fifth spirit, there was a song about Anna’s story, who would stop the winter and bring back the sun, lead an army of giants, destroy the dam, free the forest and become Queen. It was a song about a hero of legends.

The writing in obey me is kinda messy when it comes to the laws of magic in their world. I get that the game wants to focus more on the love parts but it would be nice if they decided to work a bit more on their world building.

Mc is genuinely a really interesting character considering they were the descendant of an ex-angel. Not to mention being immune to the avatar of lust's charm right off the bat? It would be fine if it was a lesser demon, but this is a demon lord we are talking about.

Mc became even more interesting in solomon's bday event. It's said that our magic had limitless possibilities and that got me curious.

We got our powers from Lilith correct? And Lilith was once an angel, someone who served god. It's said that angels are extremely strong beings, but they can't just show it willy nilly because they lack a certain amount of free will. Unless their god allows it, they can't really do much with their abilities. What if the reason why Mc has limitless possibilities on their magic is because that restriction is gone? They may have some of lilith's powers but they aren't lilith. They have what angels lack, which is free will. Mc can do whatever they want with their magic without the restrictions angels have.

Ik its a bit far fetched considering obey me is more light hearted so I doubt they would expand lilith's and Mc's connection to each other, but it's still nice to think about it.

Also thanks for listening to my ramblings! I guess I finally have someone to talk to about obey me. ❤️

Anon, thank you for sharing these thoughts with me! You've seen how much I ramble - we can ramble together 💛

You're so right about the messiness - this game is like my catnip because you're telling me there's cute monster boys (& girl) and its shallow enough that I get to make up my own worldbuilding headcanons? I do agree that I wish we had more, but at the same time, if we did, then we wouldn't be able to talk about stuff like this as easily!

I think it's super interesting you call out the difference between Angels and MC as being 'free will'. It plays into one of my fave main character tropes - 'everyone is stagnant except the protagonist who can grow.' MC brings a youthfulness and a discovery of potential that the millennia old demons and angels may have forgotten they were capable of - perhaps even inspiring them to continue growing themselves. I have Thoughts™ about the role of 'god' or 'the father' in the obey me canon/cosmology, but I don't wanna distract from your ideas so I'll talk about them in another post!

I personally would love to see more of the angels (and MC) going absolutely apeshit. Especially Luke - he's still growing too, and it'll be interesting to see the effect MC and the brothers have had on him in his development. I feel like MC and Luke are interesting parallels - both quite young and yet have experienced a lot, having to learn and unlearn different ideas and habits. Both have the potential (or the current capability) to be extremely powerful, but maybe lack a bit of the control necessary to command that power at-will.

Hi , Archer :) I have sent you a few asks the last few days but this is the first time im sending you a theory i came up with ( More like i hope smth like that happens). I'm terrified bcz i probably sound like a clown (as if i ain't one at this point ) but whatever. I need to get this out of my system.

So i was thinking bout that Wai and Pa scene and how Korn was the one who caught Wai ? Okay hear me out . So what if , what if , it's Korn who catches Wai trying to reach out to Pa each time ? What if this entire thing is just a device to create more interactions between Korn and Wai ? Now listen , im not particularly interested in Kornwai too but i can endure them as a ship if that prevents WaiPa (which, we all are sure , is not really gonna happen after all that InkPa we got in ep 7 but still ). And KornWai being a ship is way better than Pa getting hurt in any way, shape or form, or Pran having to choose b/w his supposed best friend and his boyfriend. Bcz of that i also hope the manipulation by Wai was to make Pran get back into music and not to use him so Pran doesn't lose Wai as a friend and Wai too was really just trying to be a good friend all this time . I really really don't want to see our baby get hurt bcz of this and then get hit with the 'parents' issue' right after . About the fight in the rugby jersey tho , i hope it's not as serious as it seems to be and it's just Pat warning Wai and Korn is the one who volunteers to deal with him at the end .

Anyway, ik what im hoping for is too far fetched and probably stupid but can't help clowning myself over these dumb gays. What do you think ?

hello, dear!! congratulations on your first theory, we accept all headcanons here (apart from some obvious exceptions), so no clowns detected!!

as i said before, i am convinced putting korn into that scene was intentional, and i think it makes a lot of sense that this will become a thing and this is how they will lead us into waikorn. inkpa are literally already very much a classic formulaic secondary couple, and it also makes sense why the promotion was done by ohm, nanon, love, and milk in a lot of cases now (as if they would let drake do any behind the scenes stuff with anyone but frank, plus waikorn is even more of a background couple than inkpa and those aren't always promoted). as for your optimistic outlook on wai's storyline - all i can say is gods bless you and we shall see what happens. (though i think even if he is admitted to be shitty - maximum of what we'll see is him being called out for it and apologizing, no choosing between the bff and the loml for pran).

~Crime shows

~U wanna find her doing something? Shes watching crime shows

~Im not gonna get into the backstory thing, i dont normally do that unless its requested

~She’s friends with puppeteer and BP

~She also slightly gets along with zero ~Zero and her butt heads a lot 

~But itss only friendly stuff like who can hit the victim upside the head harder

~Idek why but I feel like she would so take Janes style with the combat boots and makeup (ik Jane wears a mask but it looks as if she’s wearing makeup also Angel doesnt wear a dress)

~Bro okie this is going to be super far fetched but multiple people have seen her jamming out to anime openings (Again by Yui and Grunge by Lisa)

~She doesn’t watch anime and she listens to the whole songs but all the Japanese she does listen to has been used for openings

I’m rly sorry these are so short. Again, Im not super familiar with the character so I did find this a challenge! But thank you for requesting❤️ Also I'm really sorry I lost the ask but here ya go!

edit sorry this post is both long (if the readmore fails i am truly truly sorry) & longwinded im just reflecting and thinking; (another edit: u can probably just read the tl dr and get it)

anyway allow me to spin some very personally based theory here for a mo while i put off/warm my fingers up from the cold in preparation to email my therapist

so growing up i had, i think only, het ships, but i never quite had the ones you were (narratively speaking) “supposed to” have

in most media i recall when i was a kid, there were like, 2 diff structures of character romance plot arcs in media i consumed, there was the main lead and 2 best friends model, where thered be the star of the show who had outside romantic leads and the 2 best friends (who were always a boy and a girl) would have their secondary romance, OR there were ensemble shows where there was a more clear romance set up between the main boy and main girl, then side characters whod pair off in whatever ways ended up happening. in the first, see: hannah montana, the second, see: zoey 101. obv this isnt a hard rule and there were loads of exceptions but like, lets just say i tended not to care for the romances set up for the main girls in the trio models, or quite as hard for the main boy and girl in the ensembles, and in general if there was an obvious romance between two leads i either didnt care or outright hated it

basically i never liked the ships they set up for us in straight media, as a kid (namely, a girl) i liked being that “ew pink!” “i hate valentines day” sort of contrarian, but what i remember actually disliking was the predictability of it, because i clearly still shipped characters, so it wasnt /really/ that i hated romance, per se

looking back on it i think it was probably or at least to a degree more like that i hated the hetero expectation of it- i can nit pick down to more specific examples of why i disliked the main pairings (kataang, for example, i thought was weird bc katara acted like a mother/older sister figure to aang, and i didnt feel like there was romance between them at all except where it felt shoehorned in) - maybe it was also that i thought it made more sense for a main character to be with someone they clearly already spent a lot of time with and not some random new hot boy in town (i very distinctly remember shipping miley and oliver on hannah montana, and i believe that was the first time i ever read fanfiction @ age like... 11 lol) as is often the case w like these things.

theres another level to this though, which is that i notice i tended to ship characters who were more vaguely similar to each other, like, physically (ie, similar heights, or hair colors mainly) obviously this is funny now since my main pairing is johnlock which is such a physically different ship we can construct them from basic shapes and colors and theyre still recognizable as who they are, but i have some thoughts about this- but i think there might be two interesting things about this again in retrospect

first of all, this sounds silly ik, but shipping the vaguely similar ones as a child’s way of queering heterosexuality is an interesting concept and not that difficult, like, two boys are also vaguely similar to each other in a similar way a boy and a girl with the same hair color and height might be, which is something i thought of a while ago

the other way in which this is really interesting to me now, that i think might have been more actually pertinent to myself as a trans child, is that i think i shipped the characters i did in an attempt to morph the concept of boy and girl? to find the boy counterpart to every girl??? that second one makes more sense actually. anyway, i digress

2 start off i definitely had gender feelings starting from a very young age so i think these observations ring more true than just reflections, PERHAPS

so the first thing i remember shipping, ie wanting them to be together, thinking about it an inordinate amount of time outside watching the films, even imagining them eating ice cream together in their pjs (i was NINE DHFJGghfkg) was jack sparrow & elizabeth swan from potc (basically my franchise of choice as a kid bc i never read harry potter) now this doesnt quite fit the “visually similar” thing bc actually orlando bloom looks more like kiera knightly and is prob due to them like making out in one movie, but i think this works for the “shipping as gender expression” theory, because elizabeth swan dressed up as a boy, spent most of that movie wearing boy’s clothes, etc- meanwhile jack was a wacky pirate which like hello duh i’d want to be. so i wonder if beyond the fact that they kissed and flirted, there was something to this concept of me wanting two characters to be together, meant i wanted to marry together two conceptual things happening with two characters, or absorb the cool dude and the boyish girl characters into each other to make one whole archetype for myself? i likewise shipped aang and toph (toph who, normally doesnt really have anyone to be shipped with, since she likes sokka but he has a gf) who we all know is the VERY boyish girl character, so boyish im p sure her actually being a trans dude later in life is a p decently accepted headcanon (i dont actually delve into aatla fandom though so i can only hope) 

another thing about this ship thing, is most of my ships had brown hair (like miley and oliver), just like i always have, and in certain cases the girl character would look a LOT like me (i also shipped logan and quinn on zoey 101, which to my surprise n delight actually came true later (although looking back im like... 11 yr old me is glad they made out a lot but adult me is like uhhh why were the kids on this show making out a lot? anyway thats another issue) and i def was a weirdo girl with glasses and long brown wavy hair) which sort of further fuels my feeling that this was an attempt by my brain to do 1 of 2 things, if my own involvement really was a greater motivating factor in this thing, 1. ship MYSELF with a boy (which is like def possible for my gay kinnie ass, but not quite my thesis here) or 2. morph these boy and girl counterparts by imagining them together, seeing them together, etc

for example, i realize now, when i was a kid i drew an avatar sona for myself and said sona looked an awful lot like how id imagine a katara/zuko fusion would be, and the fact that i shipped zutara (very hard lol) was what lead me down this thought path rn

i feel like even to me this concept sounds weird and far fetched but like, gem fusion made enough sense for someone to write with its clearly, usually, romantic implications and we all “get” that, so whom knows???

another thing ive noticed while writing this is for a good few of these ships you can argue the boys in them can be read gay, like jack sparrow and zuko and aang, which feels even more strongly like me trying to marry my gay boy feelings to my tomboy realities [thinking emoji]

the biggest reason i think this makes sense to me is because when i was 10 i became obsessed with the idea that this boy i was friends with and i were secretly twins separated at birth, like i was so into the concept that we looked alike, i like hoped and wished so hard for it to be true, i wished a christmas miracle would happen for fucking real and a magic door in my house would open and be his new room and itd all work out perfectly! and you might think this was a manifestation of my difficulties with my family and wishing to leave it, but in my dream world my parents were still my parents and he came to live with us- which makes me think the obsession of ME looking like this BOY was a manifestation of my gender feelings, which i think can maybe be traced to this concept of pairing a visually similar, possibly gay, brunette boy to every brunette and/or tomboyish girl

anyway. if you actually read all of this id love it if you lmk somehow (doesnt need to be a like) like this is clearly very long and strange but i hope it makes sense. i think i stop myself a lot from ever commenting on gender or theory or whatever but i am a living breathing trans person who has experienced things and i have opinions and i dont think im claiming anything destructive with this lol i think its not unusual to reflect on the way you interacted with the world as a gay/trans kid

also im obviously not saying that shipping straight things is somehow inherently queer, im not trying to retroactively claim something about straight ships, like, those two characters are still functionally straight, and i definitely also shipped probably all of them for normal shipping reasons (although, kid ones, so less “oh theres a lot of ACTUAL romantic subtext between these two” but rather “oh theyre friends and would be cute together!” (or like they kissed and i was like O: )) but im just trying to theorize about something its possible my tiny trans brain was trying to express- and who knows maybe im not the only one!

anyway i guess the TL;DR is: when i was a kid i had a lot of “unconventional” straight ships- i already observed that i eschewed the main canon pairings in kids media in what was probably my tiny baby brains rejection of hetero culture, but i also actively shipped side characters who looked like me, and also looked like each other (ie, both tall and brunette, a boy and girl counterpart of Each Other) OR characters who seemed to be a gayish boy and a tomboyish girl, and im theorizing that maybe the reason that was was my tiny trans brain wanting to gem fusion those two together because of my Gender Feelings and fuse the boy with the girl and this desire manifested in shipping therefore thinking about a lot these pairings of boy and girl counterparts

#please dont be weird about this post i hope its like understandable what im trying to think about here? #like i dont think its that weird to consider nor am i claiming anything bad or destructive about ppls lives n genders n whatever #purely an observation about myself and the way i consumed media ages like 8-12 #in reflection as a gay/trans adult and thinking about what those things might have potentially been expressing or something #i dont know any official queer theory stuff n i dont think that should stop me from thinking my own thoughts so here u go #also i am TRULY sorry if this readmore doesnt work
