Wdym Percy Weasley isn't autistic

[mirrorofliterature]

Percy Weasley: A Character Study - Volume 1

I have archived all of my Percy Weasley tumblr meta to AO3 (varying in levels of formality and depth) and will be releasing it over the course of the next week.

It is organised into 31 categories: of course, they are of vastly varying lengths. Posts are organised into chronological order within each category with links to the posts.

First Theme: General Percy thoughts

chapter 1: the tension between percy's actions and portrayal

chapter 2: percy's intelligence

chapter 3: percy's personality

chapter 4: percy's hobbies

chapter 5: percy being into history

[guess1mjustheren0w]

So I maybe sorta made a 7th year quidditch perciver fic with Autistic Percy weasley? Would people actually read it?

What do you think about this article?

I love it so much! 🥰

I've briefly talked about how Percy is autistic-coded in this post and this post.

I've never seen this article before, but I agree with everything it described, including the part about Charlie's age making no sense.

For anyone who hasn't seen this yet, it is definitely worth a read! I''ll link it here so you don't have to copy & paste.

Thank you for sharing! 😊

Autistic Characters in HP

(FYI: I’m autistic myself and I have autistic children.)

There are two characters in HP I consider autistic (I think they have enough autistic traits that it isn’t just a headcanon) and two other who are often believed to be autistic but I don’t necessarily agree.

Severus Snape

I made a whole post about it.

I also suspect that his mother could be autistic, but we know so little about her that it’s just a headcanon.

Luna Lovegood

She’s very lonely until she becomes a member of the DA.

Her reaction to having friends is peculiar—she makes a mural with their faces and repeated word "friends".

She’s weird and awkward. She doesn’t care about (or isn’t fully aware of) social conventions.

She’s bullied at school.

She’s blunt, almost rude.

She stares too much.

She’s a bit dispassionate and has limited facial expressions.

She has a special interest—(nonexistent?) magical creatures.

Her weird Quibbler glasses may be a form o visual stimming.

Her parents might be autistic too. At least Xenofilius is equally weird.

Neville Longbottom

I don’t think Neville is autistic. I think he’s traumatised. We only have glimpses of his home, but what we know is very problematic.

His parents were tortured so much that they lost their minds. He visits them at the hospital. It must be very difficult for him.

His grandmother is very strict. During the lesson about boggarts Neville considers her a candidate to be his boggart. (I’d argue that Snape is actually a safer candidate to fear or hate—because he’s just a disliked teacher—than his grandmother or MacGonagall—his Head of House who plays a similar role at school as his grandmother at home.)

He feels pressure from his family, especially his grandmother. He gets his father’s wand (even though his family has money to buy him his own), he’s pressured to continue Potions on advanced level in order to become an Auror like his father.

His great uncle Algie made many attempts to squeeze some magic out of him, including throwing him out of the window. Neville understands it that it’s better to be dead than to be a Squib. Neville for years considers himself almost a Squib and that’s why Snape seems so scary to him: he’s a teacher who critisises his performance and Neville understands it as Snape pointing out his lack of magic.

Neville ends up becoming a soft version of an Obscurial. He’s actually a powerful wizard with accidental outbursts of magic. He somehow turns his potions into highly corrosive substances (he melts a couldron during his first lesson and then six couldrons in the fourth year), during Transmutation he accidentally turns his ears into cactuses (GoF) and vanishes one of the legs of his desk (CoS). Contrary to Neville’s belief, Snape doesn’t question his magical talent, he’s frustrated that someone so gifted has such poor academic results. As Snape says, "Longbottom causes devastation with the simplest spells. We’ll be sending what’s left of Finch-Fletchley up to the hospital wing in a matchbox." (CoS) If Neville was almost a Squib, he wouldn’t be able to do all of that. His spells and potions simply wouldn’t work. Justin wouldn’t be in any danger from a Squib.

Neville is very interested in Herbology, but I don’t think it’s an autistic special interest, just a normal passion. Herbology is a subject that doesn’t require wand (and his father’s wand always reminds him of the family pressure to become an Auror), that doesn’t require so much focus and precision like Potions and also that is taught by a very nice teacher. Herbology becomes the only subject where Neville feels safe and in response he begins to like it very much.

Neville is anxious and has problems with his short-term memory—signs associated with stress and trauma.

Neville is shy, but he’s generally liked, he isn’t weird and socially awkward (other than things listed above). He goes with Ginny to the Yule Ball without issues, he becomes a leader of the students rebellion in DH.

His traits might be interpreted as autistic, but I personally think they are explained well by his imperfect family situation and trauma.

Additionally, in the films Neville was portayed as more awkward than in the books. In the books he wasn’t actually awkward but anxious, clumsy and shy.

Percy Weasley

Percy is believed to be autistic by some people, but I also don’t think that’s the case.

We don’t see him with his peers, but we see him repeating the school rumours about Snape during the first feast in PS (so he’s probably been gossiping with other students), he has a girlfriend, he gambles. At the Ministry he’s liked enough to be promoted and have a successful career. He’s considered popular enough to be made a prefect and a Head Boy. It isn’t enough to be just a good student who doesn’t cause trouble, other students must respect you at least to some degree. (I.e. Snape was a good student without detentions, but he was definitely not a good candidate to be a prefect.)

He generally seems normal. He has a normal eye contact, facial expressions and reactions. He seems a little awkward mostly when talking to his brothers who are a bit arrogant and who tend to disrespect him. When he’s famously talking about the couldron bottoms, he’s doing it because Harry’s asked him about his job.

He doesn’t have a special interest, he doesn’t stim, he doesn’t have sensory issues.

Of course, we know so little about Percy that with his personality it’s easy to headcanon him as autistic, but it’s still just a headcanon while Snape and Luna have canonical evidence that they’re actually autistic.

[saintsenara]

I really love your ship metas!! That last ask has got me thinking about Oliver Wood/Percy Weasley, thoughts?

thank you very much for the ask, anon!

perciver has become a moderately popular ship recently - for a rare pair, at least - and i love that for all of us.

we don't see percy and wood ever actually interact in canon - although, of course, they were roommates... which is a hot premise in and of itself.

and they’re each probably the only people of their acquaintance who would be satisfied by a relationship in which they spent their evenings sitting on the sofa chattering away about their special interests - cauldron bottoms and quidditch manoeuvres respectively. everyone else they know thinks this is oppressively dull [i.e. the light canonically leaving ron's eyes when percy starts explaining his cauldron report], but that doesn't matter - perciver love and support each other's passions.

it is actually a legal requirement for the adhd girlies [gender neutral] to support our autistic siblings [which lots of the adhd girlies could do with remembering...], and so i am obligated to stan.

[audhdnight]

A very much non-exhaustive list of characters I headcannon as autistic (and you can’t change my mind)

Courtney, Total Drama

Mabel and Dipper Pines, Gravity Falls

Penelope Garcia, Criminal Minds (yes yes I know, Reid too. But everyone knows about him and I don’t see near enough Garcia)

Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter

Batman (specifically talking about Young Justice here but really every Batman)

Rapunzel, Tangled

Sunny, Wings of Fire

Peril, Wings of Fire

Arthur Weasley, Harry Potter (and obviously Percy, also the twins… actually pretty much the whole family)

Annabeth Chase, Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Hiccup (and Valka), How to Train Your Dragon

Fishlegs, How to Train Your Dragon

Wasabi, Big Hero Six

Link, The Legend of Zelda

Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games (I am aware this is a common consensus in fanon BUT IT BEARS REPEATING)

Elsa, Frozen

Tony Stark, Marvel

Velma and Fred, Scooby Doo (specifically Mystery Incorporated)

PLEASE feel free to ask me about literally any of these I would LOVE to discuss my favorite characters with y’all 🫶

-mod richie

[annabellelupin]

thoughts I've had while re reading poa as a marauders fan, part one (chapters 1 - 4)

(id just like to point out this is my first time reading the books since middle school and first time I've read the books since I became a marauders fan in 2020)

chapter 1

- ok so ye the Weasleys are really poor, but if they're "extremely poor" you'd figure they'd use their money for something other than a vacation

-I forgot sweet little hedwig existed djdjdjdkdjd

-someone please eat the rat

-let the future cat have him pleaseeeee

-why did I start to dislike hermione so much again??? maybe it's just movie hermione I hate and I can't remember the differences between the two

chapter 2

-why are most of the antagonistic characters portrayed as fat and why is the fact that dudley is obese brought up so many fucking times like that seems pretty fat phobic of you Rowling

- when actually reading and thinking about the Harry potter books and movies I imagine the actor that played sirius and not the fanart marauders sirius I'm more used to, and apparently his hair is depicted as elbow length in the books not shoulder length WE WERE ROBBED. could have had long haired sirius with a bun in ootp

- also I swear marauders Era Sirius and golden trio era Sirius (so canon and fanon sirius) are two completely different people in my mind

- also forgot "muggle" news talked about sirius

-just finished the chapter and seriously he is so sassy (guess that's what you get when you're Sirius and marlenes godson, and James and Lily's actual son)

- also I really fucking hate how much mental abuse is glazed over here like????

- it happens every summer and he's forced to return to his abusers like wtf

- this is why I don't like Dumbledore very much

chapter 3

-forgot padfoot wasn't like an actual dog sized dog

-lowkey forgot about padfoot in general ngl

-bro harry are your really throwing precious and innocent Neville under the bus rn come on dude seriously

-ok like when they mention Sirius I can't help to think of the dramatic, gay, Remus obsessed Sirius from all of the wolfstar text posts I've read

-also the fact they have to clarify what a gun is in the wizard news is wow

-same with Ron not knowing how to use a phone

-no wonder these people keep having Wizarding wars and unstable teachers at their schools

- love how this 13 year old kid is panicking over the possibility of going to wizard prison for breaking one rule

-also side note the more I read the more I feel like Daniel Radcliffe portrayed him super well

- hedwig supremacy

- "ur the literal wizard president" "yea but I'm not ur guardian dumbass I can't sign ur permission slip what in hell is this"

- why is reading stans parts so fucking hard

chapter 4

- ah Florean Fortescue the one genuinely nice adult in these books (isn't he like Alice's dad or something?) I just remembered her last name is actually more or less a headcanon uhhh that's fun

- the Irish quidditch team are actually mentioned along with the quidditch world cup even Harry's checkin out the firebolt

- coincidence that Dean and Seamus are mentioned at the same time? I think not

- seriously jkr why do you keep giving kids abusive gaurdians and acting like it's nothing (talking about Neville and his grandmother)

- "...Ron looking incredibly freckly, Hermione very brown..." (pg 55 in my book). when first reading this part years ago I registered it as Hermione was black/poc and not that she was just tan from the sun lmao

- I swear crookshanks was James' old cat and that's why he hated peter

- also Percy wow this why you don't befriend stray rats man

- the things this rat has seen go on in Percy's and Oliver's dorm room....

- still probably not as bad sharing a dorm with Remus and Sirius tho

- I love the twins sense of humor

- but guys stop messing with my precious baby Percy he's just- an autistic overachiever doing his best guys

- ..."he lost everything..." Yes Sirius did in fact lose almost everything Arthur but not bc what you think happened dude

- "he's safe with Dumbledore-" yea fucking right /sar

- "stationniong soul sucking demons around a school is such a good idea hehehehe" /sar

- literally there's no fucking way McGonagall thought Sirius did it- literally fucking refuse to believe that she did

going to start another post for chapter 5 bc oh boy it's going to be long

Tompercy Character Reference

Having finished another tompercy WIP with no plans for another one in the works, here is another reference post for the tumblr girlies. These are the characterization bios that I made a while ago in order to get a grasp of their personalities, motives, and have something to reference for their physical appearance rather than always CTRL F-ing A Study of Resonance. This post will be linked in my pinned; I hope it gives interesting insight as to how I see these characters :)

Percival “Percy” Ignatius Weasley-Prewett

Born: August 22, 1976

Appearance: wavy red hair, brown eyes (to match Molly), tortoiseshell glasses. Has freckles, eyebags, and acne, but is practiced at glamoring his face. Otherwise, his features are fairly unremarkable. Blushes easily. Lanky, average height, not particularly athletic. Dresses to come across as respectable, high-class, and sophisticated – wears a variety of colors in order to conform to seasonal fashions. When not a wizard, he is partial to knit sweaters/sweater vests, slacks, dress shirts, and peacoats. Casually, you may find him in his usual slacks and a crew-neck university sweatshirt of some sort. 

Personality: earnest, determined, and prideful. Interested in proving himself and earning the respect of his family and peers, but not through hiding who he is (slight superiority complex + rampant self-esteem issues). Wishes he was brought up in a respectable pureblood family. Intensely autistic; doesn’t understand most casual social cues and prefers strict formal etiquette rules, wishes to stick to his routine and dislikes sudden change, fascinated and enamored by his academic fields of choice, prefers interacting with competent adults rather than peers, and is shockingly lonely despite generally preferring solitude. 

Has a continued guilty-complex about most things, including pursuing his personal ambitions rather than giving into his parents’ wishes, not being a perfect brother to his siblings, and his continued association with Tom (whatever form that might take). Feels everything very strongly, but especially shame. Ultimately a product of his childhood: his perception of his parents’ pride forcing their entire family to live in poverty and discouraging him and his siblings from seeking out opportunities, being the only person with his flavor of autism in his household and therefore never being understood or really respected by the people around him, and having insane middle child syndrome… affected him!

Generally takes after his mother in pride, stubbornness, self-righteousness, and the way he likes to run his household. Jealous and admiring of Tom in equal measure. 

Tom Marvolo Riddle

Born: December 31, 1926

Appearance: coiffed dark brown hair, dark gray eyes with silver flecks (though they are dark blue in ASOR), aristocratic features; high cheekbones, long eyelashes, straight nose, sharp jaw. His skin is smooth and fair. He’s tall and well-proportioned; overall he is exceedingly conventionally handsome and aesthetically pleasing. He carries himself very fluidly, like water, and has generally practiced all his movements to perfection, as if brought up in a very aristocratic pureblood house. He dresses well and classically, mostly in grays, greens, white/cream, and black. When not a wizard, he is partial to leather oxfords, blazers/waistcoats/suits, cashmere sweaters, and also slacks. Casually, you may find him in jeans and a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. 

Personality: exceedingly prideful, intelligent, cunning, and ambitious; a textbook Slytherin in every universe. Believes in the value of a meritocracy – disparages nepotism and similar methods of gaining power, but values intelligence and competence in others… so long as they agree that he is still better than them and admire him accordingly. Such is his pride. Bookish and hungry for knowledge, and dislikes (but sucks up to) authority unless he determines that the figure is Worthy of His Respect. Perfectly willing to play a role in order to get what he wants – power – even if that means playing nice with purebloods he doesn’t give a shit about. Generally reaches a point, eventually, where he decides that he is now the most powerful wizard in the world and is therefore the ultimate authority, and may as well be God (usually around age 17). After this he will never respect anyone else as an authority ever again, unless they repeatedly beat him in duels (both physical and intellectual). 

Intensely autistic also; hates when things don’t make logical sense, dislikes the unexpected, fairly asocial, and has great difficulty relating to and empathizing with (and therefore having sympathy or compassion for) other people – most of whom he sees as unintelligent, weak, too ruled by emotions, and easy to manipulate. Ultimately a product of his childhood, where he was demonized by every adult figure in his life, shunned by all his peers, surrounded by death and suffering in his various forms (hunger, disease, cold, and war), and yet was smarter and more talented than everyone around him and also had literal magic. Even upon going to Hogwarts, he was called slurs and shunned purely for his background, and never seen for his true talent and skill until he started hurting people… which positively enforced for him that hurting people was effective for getting what he wants (power and respect). 

Thinks he likes Percy best when he is being subservient; actually prefers when Percy is being intelligent, ambitious, competent, and witty – which are the things that he likes Percy for and was fascinated by in the first place. Will never really view Percy as an equal, but likes him well enough, and finds him intelligent and interesting. 

[perciver4ever]

Percy is peak autistic overachiever energy and Oliver is peak ADHD overachiever energy

[mirrorofliterature]

oliver is the exception (touch edition)

Percy, as a general rule, is averse to touch from family, friends, and anyone in between. But with Oliver, it is almost the opposite: he craves the simple intimacy of touch from his beloved best friend.

[elisedonut]

I'm fond of Percy but he hasn't drawn me in like some other Weasleys-- what are some top adjectives that you would use to describe him? What's your draw to him as a character? So nice to meet you!! 💖

Hello!! Nice to meet you!❤❤

now word of warning i'm not really that great at character like meta and stuff so my first thought was legit just

uhhh he babie????

but seriously obviously there are the typical ones that most people think about like intelligent and bossy so lets not talk about those some big ones i associate with him and find very interesting about him are like

Mother-hen, Perfectionist child turned Anxiety ridden adult, Eldest daughter syndrome personified, Slut, Autistic-coded, attention whore, Drama queen, Morally grey

Here's also a post that I heavily agree with that explains some of his characteristics way better then I ever could

as for me being drawn to him that's difficult to answer I got attached to him from reading Draco/George fics which lead to Draco/Percy fics because Draco would keep like mentioning that out of all the other siblings he got along best with Percy to my ADHD brain like flipping a switch and saying that I love him and hyperfixating on him and trying to read every Percy centric fic I could find and now I'm here over a year later

I do find him very relatable and quite adorable and find the way the narrative and parts of the fandom treat him terrible but like a tangible thing to point at and be like

that

that's why i love him is a bit more difficult

but ill try

He's smart,

He's bossy,

He has anxiety,

He loves his family,

He has a complicated relationship with said family,

He tries to take care of the people he cares about,

He needs his mom and dad to really see him and not just what he can do for them or his accomplishments even if he doesn't realize it

He would have sex with all the quidditch captains of his 7th year if given the opportunity,

He was sending his girlfriend love letters all summer

He cares about rules and structure but would break them in a heartbeat if he found it necessary

He's lonely

He was a good Prefect/Headboy with what he was given to work with

He's constantly trying his best but with the world normally throwing that in his face

He had a crush on his boss,

He's so used to his family not respecting him that he typically brushes it off

He needs therapy

He ran a whole department practically by himself

He survived being in the ministry when it was swarming with death eaters and wasn't murdered

He had to watch as his last three school years descended into more and more chaos and still was expected to respect and listen to the man in charge

He passed 12 newts

He liked divination

His old pet rat that he found turned out to be a person and we don't even know if he was ever told

so um

in conclusion uhh he my babie??

[t1oui]

[harryissuchalittleshit]

What's your top 10 Harry Potter favorite characters?

Ginny Weasley - like this girl is so fucking badass! Her boyfriend breaks up with her so she dusts herself off and helps run an ARMY! She is the reason why Hogwarts had a resistance during the war! Then after the war she went on to be one of the best Quidditch players of the century!! Be still my beating heart this girl has it all, and on top of everything she had a severally traumatic experience at 11 and has only grown stronger and braver since!

Percy Weasley - the unsung hero of the Weasley family, and I know haters are going to hate, but this man would do anything for his family. He helped with autistic brother, he kept a steady hand in his ADHD brother, he helped teach his dyslexic brother how to read, and he will forever be the brother Ginny turns to for comfort. He sacrificed everything for the people he loves and it meant everything. (Also he is soooo tall and I find that super attractive)

Hermione Granger - at five years old I looked in the mirror with my two oversized front teeth and messy brown hair and thought that I was Hermione because everyone told me I was smart. I dressed up as her three times for Halloween in middle school. I consumed books and studied and just read because I wanted to be Hermione, and she is still and always will be a favorite of mine.

Harry Potter - without him we wouldn’t have the series, but I don’t care about that. Without Harry, I wouldn’t have a pedestal to place Ginny on (lol). I love Harry for his cool and calm demeanor with the perfect amount of sass and (un)observantness. He’s fun to write for and I love his voice and his sense of humor, and he’s never afraid to give some hard advice when needed.

Ron Weasley - do I love character development!!! Ron is such a fun character to write and read, he has so many thoughts and emotions that are fun to explore and I just always enjoy being in his head a little. I think he becomes a wonderful father and grandfather, and he’s the most well rounded individual of the trio.

Rose and Hugo Weasley - does this seem like cheating? Yes! Do I care?? Absolutely not!! I love these two because just like their parents, they have a very clear and well rounded voice and personality, I’ve written so much of them that I feel like we’re just having conversations most days. It’s fun and I love writing for them and giving them a voice they normally don’t get to have.

Draco and Astoria Malfoy - I love character development! I also wrote Draco a redemption arc where he’s a teacher’s aid to a group of preschoolers and he lives with Andromeda for a few years before her tragic death. I write him falling in love with the Muggle world and also Astoria. Speaking of which, Astoria is just a breath of fresh air to the normal Slytherin mentality and attitude. She’s so warm and giving and kind, she doesn’t hide behind walls of her own making, and she’s usually breaking down others. I love the pair of them together, and Scorpius grows up to have such a happy and stable life with them.

Scorpius Malfoy - he’s the perfect child to Astoria and Draco, he has some of Draco’s sass and stubbornness, but all of Astoria’s unyielding kindness and joy. He is such a sweet and good person who is ambitious in his personal and love life. He knows exactly how he wants his life to be and that means Rose Weasley was going to be his bride and mother to their children, and he gets it all at fifteen, a year sooner than he ever imagined.

James and Lily Potter - I was a Jily shipper before I knew what shipping was. I went seeking out jily stories for my first fanfiction experience and that’s led me down the rabbit hole I live in now. I love the voice of truth and honesty that Lily has, just like her son. And I love James serious dedication and overall hope that he also passes down to his son. Knowing James and Lily made me know Harry better, and the love they have is so powerful it’s managed to save the same life three times.

Angelina Johnson - like Ginny, Angelina is fucking badass! She fell in love with her husband at eleven and never felt her love for him waver. She played Quidditch so well that she was recruited for a starting position, but turned it down to go work in the spell damage ward at St. Mungo’s because saving lives means everything to her. She flew missions for the Order during the war and fought in the battle of Hogwarts without getting so much as a hair out of place. She then fell in love again with her husband as they both healed from their losses, she lost a baby and fought to not lose herself, and she almost died having her twins, but still she persisted. Ange is just amazing.
