i can't get over ianthe trying to convince gideon how fucking little she means to harrow by comparing her to corona; that harrow never loved her bc she didn't want to remember her and ianthe herself would never let go of anything coronabeth. love is a revenant; you keep strands of hair and envelopes and a note that says good morning. because you can't help it.
and then we get fucking hit by magnus telling harrow that her burying gideon in her mind is her keeping gideon's things like a lover keeping old notes. that she's stuffed her away in a drawer she can't look at, that her keeping gideon like that is her version of keeping that ripped-up dance card. and it's so cruel for harrow to hear that abigail has to speak up and try to hold him back.
i came across that post where someone redrew the cougar diva with piercings but they gave her the disney feminization treatment and it pmo !! shes a stud! a butch! an androgynous baddie! i had to do smth about it
psychological thriller where all a cyborg’s human parts are slowly replaced with metal like a personified ship of theseus
people who don’t have kids get dogs, and people who don’t have dogs get 25 plants which they name and talk to
fanon wolfstar: sirius felt soooo guilty about the prank that he went home and cried and non of the other marauders would talk to him for five months
canon wolfstar: sirius thought it was fucking funny and was plotting to do it again, remus was too much of a coward to say he didnt find it funny
The fact that Remus knows the reason Sirius did the prank is because he thought it was funny suggests that Sirius has actually laughed about the prank to Remus’ damn face
And like given Sirius reaction to Remus being all “a trick that involved me 😔” is to make a “derisive noise” at him
yeah that checks out
I’ve been thinking about John’s choice of Barbie-form Alecto in the conext of ecofeminism.
The idea that environmentalism and feminism are intrinsically linked and we cannot save the Earth without first disbanding the patriarchy.
Man dominates the Earth and its resources, because they have dubbed it as female, and that’s what you do to women. It’s your God-given right.
Gaia, Mother Nature, Prithvi, Terra.
Notice how matriarchal societies, like North American First Nations (from the West Coast i am most familial with Musqueam), value and respect the Earth. Many of their creation stories centre nature and animals, featuring them as something humans can learn from and follow.
Patriarchal and colonial societies like England dominate both their women and the Earth. Their God puts man (male, white) above everything else; so is his right to own everything.
In a misogynistic society it is almost impossible to treat the Earth with respect, because how can you value Mother Nature when women are a resource to be used?
John is against trillionaires. He’s a scientist. He recognizes that the rich have abused and destroyed the planet, harming the poor. He cares about the Earth and wants to let it heal. He loves Alecto, in his own way.
But still, he uses her. He locks the Earth’s soul in a Barbie doll and uses her power to consume all the other planets in the solar system, murder every person in sight and make himself God.
He’s passionate about climate change because he recognizes the abuse the wealthy enact on the world for their own benefit as what they have been doing to him—the common people, the indigenous people. He’s mad (rightfully) at the injustice against him, but he’s not trying to save the Earth because he respects it, but because he wants to save the people he resonates with.
He doesn’t want to remove the boot, he wants to become it. He shows this by recreating catholicism in the Nine Houses. He’s Maori, that’s not his indigenous religion. It is the religion of God-given domination. That’s what he wants.
He was never going to save the Earth, he just wanted to be the one to imprison it. TM has shown us this through his objectification and feminization of Alecto.
If you're a marauders fan and you bash James or Lily, you're not a true marauders fan. They are the reason for the marauders, they are it, they are everything. Remus, who? Regulus, who? Sirius, who? Mary, who? JAMES AND LILY

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!
"james shoves all his feelings down because he always has to be the happy comforting guy for his friends"
james potter would slam the dorm door, dramatically fall onto his bed, and exclaim his woes as loudly as he can to garner his friend's attention. james potter would write to his parents daily about every little thing that happened, every thought and feeling he had. james potter would have a diary where he confesses everything in & then proceed to purposefully leave it out so his friends read it
