This Is So Rogue But Does Anyone Have The Poetry Template That Went Semi-viral On Twitter A While Back?

The Death Eaters were fascists

Please read the whole thing through. I am saying this specifically for audiences that forget what Death Eaters stood for.

Their ideology was centred on:

⁃ Pureblood supremacy

⁃ Genocide of non-wizards

⁃ Genocide of muggleborns

⁃ Torture and murder of “blood-traitors”

⁃ Government infiltration and dictatorship

I really don’t understand how fans (so many of whom hate JKR, are Palestine activists and are watching the USA fall under a fascist regime) aren’t connecting the dots.

People seem keen to forget that the Death Eaters and their supporters were canonically privileged aristocrats (the Malfoys, Regulus Black and his parents, Barty Crouch Jr, the Lestranges and likely many more but these are the only ones I could find EXPLICIT mentions of being from privileged backgrounds) who thought of themselves as superior for unproven reasons that were canonically false.

This is why so much of the fandom hates it when people create tragic backstories for blood supremacists, think up inclusive headcannons for them or ship them with resistance fighters.

People may as well be making headcannons about Hitler, Donald Trump or Elon Musk.

There are exactly two dark characters that we know the backstories of pre-dark alignment: Severus Snape and Tom Riddle.

(Not mentioning Regulus and Peter because there’s no in-depth information on them in cannon. Draco was aligned towards the dark since the beginning so I’m not mentioning him either.)

These two ACTUALLY have troubled pasts! Severus Snape comes from abject poverty and Tom Riddle was orphaned and grew up in an place where he was disliked as a young child.

This doesn’t excuse the stuff they did, but it seems strange the fandom (Marauders Era fandom especially) creates fannon backstories for fascists they like while ignoring the cannon ones for fascists they dislike.

It is a fact of history that any up-and-coming fascist movement starts from the top down. Only the elite can pass oppressive laws and hide their misdeeds behind money. Then they employ the people below them.

(To anyone about to argue that this contradicts what I said about Tom Riddle not being privileged; we have canon information that tells us that muggleborns and muggles were already viewed as “lesser” far before his time. Tom just used his charm and intelligence to organise the fascists into a group which made it easier to commit genocide.)

The fandom want to headcannon every character as lgbtqia+, autistic, poc, disabled and whatever else.

I really need you guys to have a reality check: there is no racist organisation that draws the line at racism. None. They will always find another target.

Now, does this mean your interpretation of the characters shouldn’t be diverse? FUCK NO!!! I am literally begging you all to continue making the characters POC and queer and whatever else you want! HOWEVER, Please think of what it means to be a Death Eater and consider what it may say about you to be fixated on a fascist’s race, romance and friendships when there are SO MANY other non-Death Eater characters who would be better suited for your headcannons.

Hermione Granger (muggleborn who fought for house-elf rights and in the war against the people trying to kill her kind) would absolutely have a dictionary on pronouns memorised, start eight different heritage clubs and hex any racist she came across.

Remus Lupin (werewolf who has lived a life of discrimination due to his condition) 100% could be a disability ally! He knows firsthand how unseen mental and physical disabilities weigh you down and impact how people view you.

Luna Lovegood (bullied for being strange) take one look at her character and you will understand that this girl would be using (and probably creating) neopronouns and being the one all of the bullied people flock to for comfort.

You could take anyone who fought in the rebellion or their allys (just skim the wiki, there are lots of interesting characters) or even create an original character if none of them suit your fancy.

I personally feel quite offended by the way much of the fandom treats Death Eaters.

I remember kids drawing swastikas on the school windowsill while having pride pins on their bags.

They thought it was funny.

I remember learning about the pink triangles. I remember being called a gypsy for having old ill-fitting clothes and tan skin. I remember reading Anne Frank. I remember not being able to dance with a girl at prom.

I remember reading Harry Potter: a story about how kids stood up against a fascist takeover.

Now more than ever we need to be remembering these things.

mourning leia and anakins potential father-daughter relationship because of how vader destroyed her is another level of tragedy

they will never know they are a carbon copy of the other

she will always (rightfully) hate him

three internet trends i will (regrettably) probably never grow out of:

• typing in a cresCENDO TO EXPRESS EXCITEMENT • …………..unnecessarily……. long……….. ellipsis’ • puttinfh a typo in eveyr other word to shwo u dont really give a fukc but u actually do

i still can't believe that this fandom thinks regulus black was less dramatic than his brother. like... regulus?? mr "to the dark lord 😈😈 i know i will be DEAD 💔💔😔😔🥀 long before you read this 🤫🧏‍♂️🐺🗣 but i want you to know it was i who discovered your secret 🙈🫵🫵 i have stolen the REAL horcrux ⛓️🐺 😌 and intend to DESTROY it as soon as i can💥🕑🔥 i face death 🤪🤪😎 in the hope that once you meet your MATCH 😈🗣😎 you will be mortal once more" ?? girl was a certified drama queen idk what you're ON about

Friendly reminder that John Gaius, in TLT universe, is on Tumblr RIGHT NOW. Friendly reminder that he could be reblogging your mutual's post AT THIS MINUTE. friendly reminder that who knows, maybe that random account that just liked your post about bones? IT COULD BE JOD-

I know I'm late with this. It took me way too long, but I had already startet it and didn't want to wait until next year, so:

here's how I imagine them celebrating James' 65th birthday. Just sitting in the garden with their loved ones, eating cake and having fun. They are alive and old and grey and happy ok!

no one asked me to explain this but i want to

plato has a quote “opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance”

in the pilot episode, misty receives a prank call from some girls accusing her of doing anal, to which she responds quoting plato. or rather, misquoting plato

she says “opinion is the WILDERNESS between knowledge and ignorance”

i see this as intentional on the writers part since the word “wilderness” holds a lot of weight in the yellowjackets universe. the girls use “wilderness” to refer to the force/deity they encounter in the wild and blame for all the sinister things that take place/that they do

many people theorize whether or not the “wilderness” is supernatural or if it is a figment of the girls imagination that they use to cope with what happened in the canadian rockies

i argue that the show will never reveal the answer. the question itself is the main theme of the show, and the writers toy with us using plausible deniability with any supernatural event (lottie’s schizophrenia, tai’s genetic mental health issue (??), etc.)

i believe this because of the aforementioned misty line; the writers told us plainly that this “wilderness” the girls believe in is a result of the blind spot between ignorance and knowledge about what is really going on

we will never know if the “wilderness” is real or not, because the only thing that is real is that the yellowjackets did what they had to do to survive and now they have to live with it

i want to give the Yellowjackets writers kudos for dropping the line “opinion is the wilderness between knowledge and ignorance” in the pilot episode

and i want to send my condolences that it has gone so far unnoticed

phenomenal theme foreshadowing
