manifesting ✨ THIS ✨ for tonight!!!

[summerisokayatwriting]

just gonna state here and now that we absolutely stand with katie leung, being told to ignore and downplay the racist abuse she was receiving for daring to be cast in a movie while asian was despicable, especially since she was a teenager at the time

[summerisokayatwriting]

logging onto twitter dot com and this is one of the first trending headlines i see.

like... as someone who has followed katie’s career and of course been drawn to cho chang’s character for the last decade and a half, this isn’t news to me at all. katie got so much hate by fans for just being harry potter’s love interest. imagine how much that hate blew up when the movie version of ootp made her out to be the one that snitched on dumbledore’s army. i’m glad that katie was on a podcast where she felt comfortable enough to openly share her experience and i hope that her doing so is an indication that she hasn’t internalized the abuse and the trash people were writing about and toward her.

anyway, katie leung deserved and still deserves so much better than studios and publicists willing to feed her to the wolves and gaslight her to keep their own image clean! she deserved and still deserves so much better than racist and misogynistic hp fans who also somehow haven’t learned to distinguish a character from the actor!!

(here’s the variety article)

I'm tired of non-asians on twitter trying to tell asians that we shouldn't be offended by the racial stereotype that is Cho Chang. I mean,

Cho and Chang are both last names

One's Korean, the other's Chinese (no I dont remeber which is which)

She got sorted into the Smart House

Her only interactions are following 2 white boys around like a lovesick puppy

Cho Chang sounds suspiciously like "ching chang" a term used to mock asians (This has been used multiple times against my family and other asian friends)

The only person East Asians can identify with, one of the 4 asians in the entire series (Patil twins, Nagini)

All of the Asian characters are only seen in relation to white men.

Honestly, we wouldn't be as mad if there was other East Asians that DIDN'T conform to that stereotype, but Cho is the only one we got. Thanks Joanne.

Also JK Rowling said the Voldemort's snake used to be an asian women named Nagini... who is now in service to him... and is basically his pet...

JK Rowling is a transphobic, homophobic, TERF, anti-semitic, and racist.

The only Irish kid blows shit up (ira) (Seamus Finnigan)

The most prominent black character doesnt have a dad. (Dean Thomas)

The other black Hogwarts students, (Blaise Zabini) his mom is implied to be a gold digger.

(Angelina Johnson) is good at sports (stereotype, but she's still badass)

The bankers are described as hook nose goblins... yeah.

Apparently she made aids/HIV a comparison to werewolves... where it was unwillingly given to Lupin by a man who targets children...

The only jewish character is a dude named Anthony Goldstein, who is never specified to be jewish in the books or movies, and I actually have no idea if he was actually in either.

Rita Skeeter literally described with manly hands, a strong jaw, and other traditionally masculine features... painting her as a trans women, and someone who is a liar, and is hated by everyone... and oh yeah, changes form to spy on kids.

The house elves love to be enslaved

The american wizard society, where she just shits on everything. Implying that the indigenous people had to be colonized so they could be taught "proper magic", mishandling of native cultures, and incorrectly grouping them into one entity

Saying later that Dumbledore was gay, but not putting it in the story, or into Fantastic Beasts 2, where the storyline is LITERALLY about his former lover.

I'm tired of JK Rowling. I'm tired of "it wasn't relevant to Harry's story, so I didnt include it" I'm tired of people outside of these communities telling us that we're overreacting, and that we shouldn't be offended by what we see.

I love the books, but I hate Joanne.

Trying to pull an all-nighter to finish homework and it happens to be Remus Lupin’s birthday, can’t decide whether he’d be proud or disappointed

Days five and six of @hppoppunkfest​! I had similar ideas for these two prompts, so I decided to make them two parts of one story. (BTW, I am taking a week off from posting to finish my classes. See you with prompt 7 next Monday!)

Prompts- Always by blink-182, Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade

Summary-  At the lowest points in their relationship, Remus and Sirius tend to alternate between fighting and silence. Luckily, they end up with a few chances to try it over again.

Just Lily & Remus supporting their boys. ❤️

(I’ll let you guess who actually made the sign) (also, padfoot instead of black for obvious reasons)

[summerisokayatwriting]

I’ve probably said this before but my favorite sexuality headcanon for Lily is that she’s pan because it means she could have fallen in love with anyone and yet she still fell in love with James. I just think that would piss her off so much

[summerisokayatwriting]

Day 3 of @hppoppunkfest​!

-

Prompt- Dirty Little Secret by The All-American Rejects

Summary- It is a typical evening in seventh year when Lily Evans realizes that she was wrong about James Potter. Inner turmoil ensures.

it’s all my favorite remus/sirius in my tabs lately (this is not a complaint)

[summerisokayatwriting]

“I adore the way fan fiction writers engage with and critique source texts, by manipulating them and breaking their rules. Some of it is straight-up homage, but a lot of [fan fiction] is really aggressive towards the source text. One tends to think of it as written by total fanboys and fangirls as a kind of worshipful act, but a lot of times you’ll read these stories and it’ll be like ‘What if Star Trek had an openly gay character on the bridge?’ And of course the point is that they don’t, and they wouldn’t, because they don’t have the balls, or they are beholden to their advertisers, or whatever. There’s a powerful critique, almost punk-like anger, being expressed there—which I find fascinating and interesting and cool.”

This is very true - I’ve seen innumerable fanfics of people saying, “I could do this better than they did.”

And quite frequently, they do.
