Thank You.

yes, dog movies are sad but do you ever think abt when in Rise of the Guardians when Jack dies to save his little sister and you then you think abt your own brother dying to save you and start crying bc he was an amazing future ahead of him with a wife and children but you’re a depressed lesbian who would no doubt be a disappointment to your parents (if they knew) but your brother already knows and he still loves you despite it?

what is your favourite shape?

whatever's going on inside red cabbage like. i see god in this thing

my favorite animal is when there’s a hate comment on a fic and the authors like “aw :( I’m sorry you didn’t like it” and meanwhile half the fucking fandom is piling up and asking if they even read the fic.

Anyone else fucking hate those “am I gay” quizzes and then the first question is “so… *leans back non-chalantly* you HAVE had same-sex attraction, right?” Like idk you tell me?

reblog if you’re a safe place for:

lesbian

gay

bisexual

transgender

queer

pansexual

demisexual

ace

hopeless romantics

cis-men

cis-women

non binary folks

the whole spectrum etc…

follow everyone who reblogs ;)

I’d also like to mentions the Pinterest pins I keep seeing that say “Marauders fan when you express your opinions” or “The Marauder fandom when you have a hc that doesn’t match theirs”

And then their headcanons are all the same: everyone is straight. Their OTP is Jily, and I’m NOT dogging on Jily, it’s an adorable ship, but they make it like every other straight ship in existence. Simultaneously, these are the same ppl replying to comments on their pins that say “why? /gen” and the reply is always a variation of “honestly I hate wolfstar like it’s such a dumb ship”

Isn’t that… hypocritical?? Are you not hating on opinions and headcanons yourself? Obviously, this is a generalization, and there are some ppl that have respectful opinions that are overshadowed by the ppl like this who have either non-sensical reason or none at all.

This will probably be controversial, but I feel like it needs to be talked about. (Marauders fandom edition part 1?)

Before I say anything else, I want to preface this by saying that everyone can have their ideas and headcanons about characters, you do you. So what I think we need to talk about is things like this:

“Omg no, the Marauders are definetly all straight, wydm??” “In canon they’re all cishet, can we keep that?” “Why is every single character some form of gay?”

In canon, little is known about them, but that’s not my point. This fandom is made up by 90% queer people that are making representation for themselves in media, because in said media, most of the “representation” is just one stereotypical queer person so the production team can claim they’re not homophobic. So when you take representation made by queer people for queer people and start packing it back into the same cishet boxes in was in before, you’re taking something that wasn’t made for you, and altering it to fit in a way you like. This sub-fandom wasn’t made by queer people so that straight people could take it and rewire it to fit them. Some *specific* instances of this are asexual Evan Rosier, trans Regulus Black, pansexual James Potter, and aroace Peter Pettigrew. While I’m not sure if this was representation some in this fandom made for themselves or others, it’s still important. What I’m really trying to say (it’s 12:36 at night, please) is that this fandom wasn’t made for straight people.

Marlene McKinnon isn’t headcanoned to be a lesbian so a weird uncle named Fred could fetishize her, she’s headcanoned to be a lesbian so that a 14 year old girl could see a character like her and feel seen. Sirius Black is not headcanoned to be gay/bi so a lonely wine mom could sexualize him. He’s headcanoned to be gay/bi so that a teenaged boy doesn’t feel so weird anymore.

Again, it’s okay to headcanon whoever to want to be this that or the other, that’s not what I’m addressing. It’s making everyone the same carbon copies of straight, white, and cis.

I’m done yapping now, go drink some water.
