Tfota Posts By Me

dude i think u may be the first person (i remember) ive seen not want movie/tv series for tfota and im so glad im not alone!! like it has a lot of potential but there are just a gazillion ways i can see it going wrong 😬 if we did get one i kinda want it to be animated b/c the otherworldly nature of the fae and all the magic would be easier to capture that way but that probably won't happen :/ ur casting is mega valid tho

first of all, i'm ecstatic someone else thinks this 🙌 the way a film/series would shatter my image of the world and characters.

plus, i'm just so tired of book adaptations becoming the next mainstream media craze only to get bashed a few months later for being "cringe" or whatever the fuck. not to mention, i've lost so much trust for screenwriters in recent times. i would rather just look at pretty fanart and read the books over and over, and exist in my little fandom bubble with y'all.

anyways, i know we're not the only ones cos i've deffo had conversations with some other lovely people on here about it.

HOWEVER. i've never thought ab an animated adaptation, and i have to say i would not mind a studio ghibli-esque version of this series at all 👀👀

Where is the International protection the Palestinian people is entitled to when the occupying power violates international law and harms those it is obliged to protect. Aren't Palestinians lives worth saving?

Could you recommend some anti-police literature for a newbie?

This [link] has a really good collection of articles on alternatives to police and how to create a world without police.

Here are some more articles and books:

The police: the case against - Polite Ire

Rebellion against police violence - toward community defense, dual power and revolution - First of May Anarchist Alliance

Stop kidding yourself: the police were created to control working class and poor people - Sam Mitrani

Our Enemies in Blue - Kristian Williams

Kropotkin - Law & Authority

Angela Davis - Are Prisons Obsolete?

Foucault - Discipline and Punish; the Birth of the Prison

I think one of the reasons the Harry Potter Epilogue was so poorly received was because the audience was primarily made up of the Millennial generation.

We’ve walked with Harry, Ron and Hermione, through a world that we thought was great but slowly revealed itself to be the opposite. We unpeeled the layers of corruption within the government, we saw cruelty against minorities grow in the past decades, and had media attack us and had teachers tell us that we ‘must not tell lies’. We got angry and frustrated and, like Harry, Ron and Hermione, had to think of a way to fight back. And them winning? That would have been enough to give us hope and leave us satisfied.

But instead. There was skip scene. And suddenly they were all over 30 and happy with their 2.5 children.

And the Millennials were left flailing in the dust.

Because while we recognised and empathised with everything up to that point. But seeing the Golden Trio financially stable and content and married? That was not something our generation could recognise. Because we have no idea if we’re ever going to be able to reach that stage. Not with the world we’re living in right now.

Having Harry, Ron and Hermione stare off into the distance after the battle and wonder about what the future might be would have stuck with us. Hell, have them move into a shitty flat together and try and sort out their lives would have. Have them with screaming nightmares and failed relationships and trying to get jobs in a society that’s falling apart would have. Have them still trying to fix things in that society would have. Because we known Voldemort was just a symptom of the disease of prejudice the Wizarding World.

But don’t push us off with an ‘all was well’. In a world about magic, JK Rowling finally broke our suspension of disbelief by having them all hit middle-class and middle-age contentment and expecting a fanbase of teenagers to accept it.

Also. Since when was ‘don’t worry kids, you’re going to turn out just like your parents’ ever a happy ending? Does our generation even recognise marriage and money and jobs as the fulfillment of life anymore? Does our generation even recognise the Epilogue’s Golden Trio anymore?
