i lied. put your clothes back on. let’s talk about why cursed child is so overly hated and criticised but is actually one of the most beautiful, raw and complex pieces of work in the harry potter franchise.

so for someone who has never read albus severus potter/scorpious malfoy fics, what would you recommend? i really trust your recs they always eat

Thank you for the trust, anon!!! Im sure not all of these are beginner friendly but they are the ones I started with and I love them dearly!!

The It's Tea Time series is a very good start! It's probably one that most people will recommend, so I'd definitely check it out.

Then, ofcourse, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (in novel form). Completely canon compliant besides the fact its endgame Scorbus, and adds extra things we miss out on. Just amazing, I reread it all the time.

The Cursed Second Child is so good, unfinished but still updating! Deals with Dark!Albus if your interested in that at all. I am ;)

Ofcourse I have to mention Building up like waves which was the fic that really got me into Scorbus. I'm sure I cried atleast once even though its such a sweet fic. I recommend it any time I can

As The Others See it COMING OUT FIC!!! Honestly, it's wonderful, it's cc compliant, I squealed reading it every update. I was so inlove with this fic I'd read it the moment I got the notification it uploaded no matter where I was.

Sneaking this in... something worth taking the time isn't exactly Scorbus, but it's about them both, and it's honest to god my favourite CC fanfic. It's time travel with Mentor Severus and codependent Scorpius/Albus and also Albus having beef with everyone he meets. Perfect characterisation. I strongly recommend reading it.

If anyone has anything to add on PLEASE do, for someone who loves the ship so much I really don't read alot of Scorbus. THANKS FOR THE ASK AND I APPRECIATE THE COMPLIMENT ALOT I try my best when I make recs

Albus longingly staring at Scorpius is my favorite genre

Thoughts on Tom Felton and Cursed Childs new casting

Oh boy, time for another long rant nobody asked for because I legit cannot go any longer without expressing my utter devastation and anger at this.

Let’s start with this. I hate JKR, and due to Toms connection and support of her, I hate him by proxy. Here’s what made HPCC stand out from the regular franchise. The casting was diverse, nuanced and even bold at some times, with multiple trans and queer actors having gotten lead roles. What does adding Tom Felton to the mix do? Ruin that “safe” environment that previously was made by trans/queer actors to spite JKR. The entire rewrite, the actors who helped shape the show for I inclusivity, that’s all gone now.

And before it’s mentioned, I know HPCC could never be a truly safe space for queer and trans people due to it being a part of the HP franchise. However in all of its years running, there have been so many castings of specifically queer actors to the point it feels like type casting. The changes to the script issued by trans/queer actors is also so important to acknowledge, because it combats at least SOME of JKRs stances. Previously I had assumed the HPCC show had taken their stance by doing these diverse castings. Now it is clear they’d rather prioritise money and profit.

Which leads to the next point, being that this is so obviously a cashgrab. I know HPCC isn’t selling well, especially because these past few months they’ve been doing so many collabs with old actors in a desperate attempt to stay relevant, in addition to the Brazil prod being cancelled. What breaks my heart is that HPCC BW does Genuenly have good and specifically queer fan base, that see nuances and good in the show. Not to sound sappy, but the “actual fans” of the show are what makes being in this fandom so fun. People who go to see the actors and appreciate what the show has previously stood for, especially after the rewrite.

Now the show is going to infiltrated by Draco fangirls who couldn’t give to shits about the actual show, and are only there to thirst over a middle aged man past his prime. Stage door is a nightmare, and rip to ANY new actor, especially Draco actors that will cover for him, because nobody is going to acknowledge em anymore. The fact the show is about ALBUS and SCORPIUS, yet the show is advertising more about Draco now, who mind you has like 30 min screen time in the films and even less on stage. Plus I bet there will be an influx of hate towards the actual plot of the show, because BW is running with the new even shorter script, which in my honest opinion sucks.

Lastly, Toms involvement in the show I believe will force the BW actors to be more careful about their outspokenness against JKR, in addition to NDAs being stricter. Previously BW had gotten away with so much, like nearly kisses on stages, and so many other things that and undeniably queer coded. Having Tom, and then by proxy JKR be this close to the show will ruin all that. Not only that but I doubt and hope no trans/queer actor would feel safe sharing a stage with him. Idc if he’s not directly transphobic or homophobic, he has chosen to side with JKR and that’s enough for me to not like him. Previous actors, and current ones now at West-End, constantly repost stuff about trans rights and are vocal about their political views. Being political is a part of theatre, and queer identity and the creative arts. This casting ruins that entirely, and just goes to show how in the end they’re willing to negate 4 years of the progress they made for a quick buck.

Good luck to my US fans out there 🫡🫡

I just realized I never showed you guys the Albus commission I got from @talitasami (she's also the one I worked with on the James and Helena art). Sooooo, here you go!

I've mentioned it before, but Albus' patronus being a Thestral is so special to me 🥺 it just makes sense to me because I feel like it represents his growth as a person, especially after the events of TCC with Delphini. I think he grew up so much from that incident, and in general I think he's more of a realist than his siblings. I think Albus has always felt things very deeply and is a very empathetic person, but learned to guard himself due to being bullied at school and how rough it probably was to grow up with a famous father (a famous family really). Being a legacy couldn't have been easy, he was misunderstood on every level because of the house he was sorted into, but he came into his own in a very significant way.

I think his patronus taking the form of a Thestral, something he used to be scared of because James would tease him with them, is very poignant. In a way representing him taking strength and creating protection out of fear. Recognizing and accepting his fears and deciding to be strong in spite of them. I think after witnessing Craig's death, Albus was able to see Thestrals, and was able to acknowledge them properly and get to know them on a deeper level, growing to love them quite genuinely. He was really happy when his patronus took the form of a thestral because he'd grown to love them so much. ((Also he thinks of memories with Scorpius in order to conjure his patronus, obviously))

I just love Albus Severus Potter so damn much, yall.

Everyone should go follow @talitasami immediately!
