Turtleneck Brachiosaurus

i hope this doesn't find you by ann liang

because beneath my apprehension is the stronger, deeply ingrained need to be liked. to be accepted. to be forgiven. to be recognized as good. i'll do anything to redeem myself.

the ICON that regulus is, even in canon. like even before getting into the marauders, WHAT DO YOU MEAN A RANDOM 18 YO DISCOVERED THE HORROCRUXES AND DIED DESTROYING ONE BY HIS OWN?!?!?! iconic behavior if you ask me

I'm not going to lie, I was a little scared to say anything about this as everything has felt so hostile and explosive.

But at the same time, I feel like I would be doing a disservice to all my dear friends of the LGBTQIA+ community if I didn't say something.

What JK Rowling has been saying on Twitter is nothing short of absolutely disgusting. I hate how she has been using her platform as a famous author to spread hate and vile propaganda. She had great power, and she had absolutely abused it. JKR has proven she has no intention of changing and that she is overall a vile woman.

That being said, I don't think the fight will be won by completely ignoring what the franchise was for so many people. If you or anyone you know needs to step away from it all for awhile, then they should absolutely do that as their mental health matters! But for those of us who can, I think it's time we fight.

She has absolutely no right to say that when we read her books, we support her political views. That is not what literature or movies are for. If that were the case, there would be a ton of media we'd have taken away due to that very fact. Books and art in general are meant to inspire people. It's a medium for personal interpretation and inspiration.

So, you might ask, what's next? I say we ignore her from now on. If you haven't already, unfollow her on everything. Stop buying any new merch that she is involved in. Stop consuming any new Harry Potter media that she is involved in the creation of. And support the fans who want nothing to do with her.

If you really want Harry Potter merch, buy it second hand or from a fan-run business. Read Harry Potter fanfiction; there are so many wonderful fanfics out there written by wonderful people. Let's take back the Wizarding World and make it what it always was to us: a place of creativity and for many of us a place of community.

I will always support the fans who go on to create things that she would HATE because of her horrible viewpoints. Keep it up! Keep spreading love and positivity. One day, she'll become nothing but a footnote.

I love you all and keep fighting the good fight! 🩵

James: Quick, Reggie give me your hairdryer

Regulus: My what? what are you talking about?

James: Don’t you carry one in your bag?

Regulus: Who does that!!?

James: Sirius do you carry a hairdryer in your bag?

Sirius: Of course, i am not an animal

ok one more 🐍

The other day I drew this Remus with his emotional support dog.

I think people that say that sirius completely hated regulus are only children because if you have a sibling, especially a younger sibling you would understand more that sibling relationships are so complicated and idk about anyone else but I truly don't think I could ever hate my baby sister

argue with the wall.

they have this routine where sirius reads aloud from whatever absurdly philosophical book remus is currently into, but he does it in the most dramatic voice possible, like it’s Shakespeare.

remus pretends to be annoyed but also refuses to read the book any other way now.

sirius black who drives with one hand on the steering wheel, who helps peter tie his tie, who draws on his arms in class, who always hands in his essays last minute, yet perfectly written and always well over the requested length, who wears huge boots and jeans too large for him and a leather jacket one size too big, who loves the beach and the sea, who pierced his nose in his dorm’s bathroom with a sewing needle, who only listens to james, whose favourite weather is the cold winter because the wind sends shivers through his bones, making him feel something, who leans put the window when he smokes in their dorm because james always complains the smoke, who does crosswords in pen and ink because he knows he’s not wrong, who hurts the people he hates and longs for the people he loves, who is reckless and determined and intelligent and arrogant, who’s loyal as a dog and whose words are as sharp as knives.
