Ha?

Severus: i'm telling you, Potter and Black might be...involved!

Lily: okay, first Lupin is a werewolf and now this? enough with these theories Sev!

3 years later, on James's birthday

*Sirius and James just quietly staring at each other thinking no one else is watching*

Lily: oh...oh my god

theres this wnba player who is clearly gay (like butch, tats, tongue piercing, publicly-had-a-gf gay), but recently a vid of her saying “im gay” got popular and a few people were like “omg shes for the girls !!” and people would reply like “uhhh yeah!? it was kinda obvious”

on like one hand i agree, walks like a duck etc

but also theres a a certain impact about someone existing as gay vs. saying “im gay”

i had no doubt she was queer but hearing her say it gives me butterflies (literally everytime i see the vid and not just cuz i may have a crush) because ive gotten to the point in my journey where i feel so normal being wlw that i kinda forget straight ppl exist so seeing celebs date women was like really awesome but also well yeah???? but hearing someone say the words im gay!? like youre like me!? im not alone!?

liking girls is one thing. love is natural, banal.

being gay in the world? having that label on you? thats a walking target,

but its also a community

hearing someone you admire claim themselves as part of it feels soooo good

i love that were getting to a point where coming out is desuetude and gay ppl can just exist but its nice to hear the pride and outright claiming of the label

happy birthday remus lupin! heres one of my fav pics of you to celebrate. you look great here

My take on the Marauders

I'm a Marauders era fan. MY take on what it should be

Sirius Black- is the tallest (Well over 6 foot), maybe one or two tattoos, black hair above his shoulders, doesn't simp over Remus and can easily do anything without him, one of the smartest in the school, hell of a dark humor, dark looks, VERY popular, has many flaws, but is still the best, prefers James over anyone, one of the hottest in the school, reckless

James Potter- not as tall as over 6 foot, like 5,10 or 5,11 (Like Harry), one of the smartest in the school, popular, not constantly asking Lily out or assaulting her

Remus Lupin- quiet, coward, tries to keep to himself, good at quidditch, but doesn't play, isn't the school's Casanova, not the hottest guy, a bit below average or such, not over 6 foot, not the smartest in the school (Like average or just above), doesn't swear like a sailor, doesn't have anger issues, isn't an asshole, not a tattoo type of guy

Peter Pettigrew- most likely more popular than Remus, is included, not hated by his friends, not a bitch to his friends, doesn't act like his adult self

Lily Evans- isn't Hermione 2.0, she does swear occasionally, is able to beat someone's ass, rightfully hates Snape and the other Slytherins or blood supremacists, strong, smart (Not as much as James and Sirius though

Regulus Black- not a twink, isn't a crybaby who constantly cries about Sirius (They probably threaten each other and use death threats until Pandora and James are like 'Oi, wtf'), tall, not as much as Sirius, but probably James' height and maybe taller

Walburga Black- doesn't use unforgivable curses on her kids, doesn't physically abuse them. I hope you guys know that emotion abuse exists. DOES spoil her kids, puts expectations on them, but does praise them about being the Black heir, she's the reason they're so bloody hot

The others aren't so bad (But they still have bad characterization)

The Slytherins are not softies. It was the 70's, LGBT wasn't s respected, though there could be a few gay kisses and other stuff. They don't have so many tattoos that it covers their whole body, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that there's pure bloods and they're still in Hogwarts. Sirius is TALL. He has dark humor, is capable of doing stuff himself, did NOT regret the prank.

The Prank- Sirius openly said (And to Remus) that Snape got what was coming to him for the prank, I bet there wasn't a whole angst thing where they ignored Sirius. James would NEVER do that. Remus was a coward; he probably forgave Sirius very easily (Though he couldn't trust him), they probably laughed about it in the dorms.

Wolfstar- It's one of the biggest ships. I don't ship it or see the appeal. Though I'm not going to hate or tell anyone to stop, but there's so much evidence that Remus and Sirius were toxic to each other (I'm going to say it all in a different post). Sirius and Remus can live without each other perfectly fine. It was James that Sirius couldn't live without. Though you guys can ship whatever you want (But please no pro-ships), but also. ATYD is NOT canon. The writing is brilliant, it must've taken a god long time, it's great. BUT. The characterization is completely off, the girls are barely there, even Snape is wrong (Still hate his guts though).

Also, I know SOME fans are going to come to my house with pitch forks. THOSE FANS, you can come and suck my nonexistent DIC- (I'm a woman). ALSO, I'm not homophobic for saying stuff about gay not being as active in the marauder's era, there were probably SOME, but I'm lesbian, so I can't be homophobic. And to THOSE fans, I know it's not real, but I don't have a life, and I like being a part of the marauder's era, but it's the characterization

Also, everyone says "Canon? What's canon", but the only reason the marauders era exists is because of canon. It's like me making Sirius a blonde, and I go "Canon? Never heard of her"

polyamory would not always fix the love triangle. sometimes it would make it much, much worse. but they should do it anyway

he stared at you for forty lines, but you thought about me every day for fourteen years

you thought he was the traitor, but you would have died rather than betray me

you tried to use him to kill snape, but you came to my house when you had no where else to go

he married a girl 15 years his junior, but my wife wrote you a letter saying you needed to come by the house because i was going crazy cooped without you

he thought youd actually betrayed my family, but you lived the remainder of your life just to avenge us

he thought you were just like the rest of your family, but i made you my child’s godparent and protector of our secret

he died running from his child, you died protecting mine

wolfstar vs prongsfoot is funny bcz wolfstarr is like "was it casual when i stared at you for forty lines straight" and prongsfoot is like "was it casual when i escaped the solitary-confinement-torture-prison to protect your son who hated me, got him an expensive broomstick anonymously just to make him happy and snuck into hogwarts just to see him play even though it could've literally costed me my soul"

You fools. Gideon Nav isn’t Orpheus. She’s Eurydice. Harrowhark Nonagesimus is the most Orpheus-coded character that has ever existed

can i propose no-bow-nery

The masculine connotation of a bow tie and the feminine connotation of a bow on the top of the head implies a nonbinary bow style placed directly over the nose

my friend wrote a paper on tlt concerning gender, queerness, and ecofeminism and it broke my brain

tldr he outlined how the present necro/cav dynamic (eg. how cav is subservient to their necro and romantic relationships between the two parties is taboo) is a result of johns implicit misogyny he projected onto earth/alecto; how in this sans-misogyny world queerness/homophobia still exists in necro/cav ships

so ive been reanalyzing all the tlt relationships from the lense of necroxnecro cavxcav = hetero and necroxcav = queer and OH MY GOD

griddlehark = queer

lobotomized harrow was replacing her queer relationship (cav!gideon) with a coworker hetero one (cav!ortus)

giddianthe = hetero

kirianthe = queer

tridentaricest = queer, but as corona was “necro-passing” it could be BUTCHFEMME REALNESS

idk how to classify paul…
