I don't know why but it seems like Puritan culture is taking over fandoms and it's so annoying like please shut up, " why can't these characters just be friends" THEY CAN BUT I AS IN ME, WANTS THEM TO HAVE NASTY GAY SEX

Or just cuddle but still, they can be friends to you but to me their souls yearn for each other

"Met a believer' had all kinds of plans." Levi's leaning against the truck. His gaze is turned towards the sunset. He knows there's nothing here for him. Can't look Aubrey in the face either. His duffels in the back of the truck already. "Was drunk on ambition." He doesn't want to tell the other what he's doing or where he's going. Levi doesn't know either. It's not even his truck to fucking steal is the thing. Levi's not going to fight a losing battle and the warm glow from inside the house tells him everything he needs to know. "I'll do anything except turn around." @littlcfreaks

WHAT IS MY MUSE AFRAID OF?

In the list below, bold all the fears your muse currently has, italicize all the fears they've worked through or grown out of, and answer the questions below.

COMMON FEARS & PHOBIAS:

The dark l Small spaces l Suffocation l Water l Thunderstorms l Dogs l Snakes l Spiders l Insects l Clowns l Blood l Dentists l Hospitals l Needles l Germs l Heights l Fire l Insects l Public speaking l Large crowds l Meeting new people l Being alone l Being touched l Failure l Imperfection l Societal rejection l Physical intimacy l Emotional intimacy l Being abandoned l Being forgotten

What other fears do they have? loss of control & loss of their freedom.

Why do they have these fears? Are these fears innate, trauma-based, or generational? all of their fears, save for that of water, is trauma-based. their fear of water is innate, but certainly has some trauma tied to it.

Have they ever tried to work through or confront these fears? How did it go? working through or confronting them would mean acknowledging the fact that they are afraid of these things, so... no. the only exception here is, again, their fear of water - they went to swimming pools at a younger age and would hope to overcome their issues in doing so, but would ultimately never accept any help, as they refused to admit to anyone else that they didn't know how to swim and that they were afraid of deep water. these days they avoid it the same as with everything else they're afraid of.

ok im going to #seriouspost for a second here. I don't think Harry Potter is a manifesto. I think it was a flawed passion project that millennials latched onto because of the fantasy of sticking it to their mean teachers and arbitrarily categorizing themselves (hogwarts houses; it's the thinking millennial's astrology). I think the fact that the series got popular when and how it did was very much a product of its time.

I don't think Harry Potter is the biggest symbol of JKR's bigotry. I think the most flagrant sign of that was how she responded to critics. I watched her become radicalized in real time. I watched how she doubled down on her racism when she was called out for the ways she promoted her tragically mid fantastic beasts movies. I watched her chase marginalized teenagers with a double digit follower count off of twitter for daring to criticize her thought process, and no one with any kind of power standing against her because she was the one who was paying them. This isn't to say Harry Potter is without flaws. This is to say she really didn't give a shit about that. Getting rich and powerful is a hell of a drug, and she had enough sycophants that she had no reason to care about what her critics were saying.

She was convinced that she was a martyr; a voice for the unheard; a leader for the ages, so of course her detractors were the bad guys. And I think we should take this to heart. We should see this as an example of how easy it is to get radicalized; if you think of yourself as a paragon of virtue, you are going to think that whatever you see as good and right is an objective fact. Most people don't know this, but the majority of terfs start out as trans allies. You are not immune to propaganda! You are not immune to falling into dangerous ideologies!!!

This is why the most important thing you can do as an activist is to listen. Do NOT think you're above being wrong; do NOT develop a god complex; do NOT form an identity out of being right all the time. Involve yourselves in the groups you claim to speak for. Listen to trans women; share resources that help trans women; familiarize yourself with the diversity of experiences that trans people have and the struggles they face.

No, none of you are as bad as JKR because you don't have her money or her power. You will likely never have the capacity for harm she does. But check yourselves. Do not affirm yourselves into thinking you always have the moral high ground. Watch yourselves; humble yourselves; check yourselves for signs of cult behavior and internalized prejudice. You are always learning. You will always be learning. Do not allow yourselves to get a power trip from brushing off marginalized voices.

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand
