KOSA IS BACK. REBLOG NOW, OR THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF FANDOM -- AND SAFE PLACES FOR LGBTQ PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/15/kids-online-safety-act-kosa-senate/

we can't let this happen. Oh no, oh no... quote a reblogger on my pinned post about this on my blog; "oh shit, the abomination has been reanimated". Indeed, while I'm a big fan of abominations, NOT THIS ONE. THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING ABOMINATION I'VE EVER SEEN. FANDOMS OF TUMBLR, UNITE.

[bisexualpositivity]

Which fictional character(s) made you start to question your identity, if any? What about them drew you to them in the first place?

"Evie, Rick, and Ardeth from The Mummy. Holy shit, that movie is a complete bisexual dream. Evie is so smart, awkward, and relatable, Rick is so dreamy, and Ardeth is drop dead gorgeous (that hair!!!)"

"Catra and She-Ra are the ones that come to mind for me."

"Sam from Totally Spies and all the Harry Potter characters. First one is obvious but the second? I joined the HP fandom when I was like 11 and decided every character was queer."

"Delenn from Babylon 5 - she is so elegant and wise and ethereal but also angular and all sharp edges, she is petite but in her angularness also masculine, and her character, being kind but also ruthless, also is full of contrasts. I think I wanted to be like her one day, but also be dominated by her."

"IDK, I'm not sure if there was any concrete character, it was more actual people. That being said, one day I saw fanart of gender-bent Disney princes/princesses and I was like 'Oh. OH. Yeah, I'm definitely bi.' "

"I remember being really into Sydney Fox (Tia Carrere) from Relic Hunter, but i didn't recognize it as a crush, its taken a few years for me to realize what it was. I was like 5-6 when i watched it. I thought she was SO beautiful, cool and smart!"

"The male octolings in Splatoon 2. All of the Splatoon player characters are kind of androgynous, so I started playing as the male octoling because I liked the hair. I figured that I had watched male YouTubers play as female inklings, so this wasn't that different. I later realized that wanting to look like a male character probably wasn't very cis of me."

They go see Tarzan for Harry's 19th birthday, just the two of them, he and Ginny.

"You'll Be In My Heart" starts to play, and Harry loses his breath because in that moment he hears his parents singing to him, he forgets the rest of the movie, he just knows how much he misses them, as he turns 19, which seems big somehow, bigger than 18, which happened when he was still processing everything that had happened in the Battle of Hogwarts, and therefore flew under the radar a bit.

But now he's sitting in the theatre bawling because it sounds like a lullaby being sung over him, and a bit of his heart will always wish to be rocked to sleep in his mum and dad's arms.

Ginny just holds him.

And it's the first lullaby Harry sings to little baby James when he holds him that first night, and a half-awake Ginny smiles.

[crackhead4]

the idea of a tomarry fic but inspired by the mummy ( the old one from 1999,no the the new i maybe young but i'm cultured thank you very much) the idea of the ancient egypt and magic from the HP verse is so facsinating to me especially since i LOVE ancient egypt.

i can imagine that it not completely similar to the old movie cause i like the idea of Harry growing up love egypt being drawn into the city, the culture and their magic. Its like you can almost say his soul is connected to egypt. Then he's like brought to this dig site to the lost City of the dead (i forgot how to spell the name of it and i can't be arsed to google it so plz bare with me) and he's drawn by dream of him in another life next to some one, someone how devilishly handsome and blood red eyes.

He finds a tomb at the bottom of Anubis's feet some whos been punished by being buried alive ( i think it called the Hum dai??? don't quote me on that last time i watched this was like 4 years ago) He goes to sleep on his worktable that is scattered with copies of what is written on and strangely enough inside tomb when he has another dream, of how the sweet man with red eye dies of how he sacrifises himself to save Harry.

And oh does Harry thought it wasn't possible to feel this much grief and sorrow for someone whose only in his dream but oh does it hurt him.

ANNND that all i got in my brain for now and i feel like it i write to much it might be that i write the whole fanfoc (thsi might be the first time i actually say i write a fanfic and actually write it)

But anyway this is free idea for anyone it claim, all i askit that you tag m in it so i can read cause i won't pass up the oppurtunity for reading a good tomarry fic

[dragons-wine]

So i have 3 of these, now.. but there's obviously room for at least one more! But whom?

Also, Doug Jones, himself, liked my drawing in Instagram! *fangirls* *dies*

[etaindelaserna]

Thanks for answering my ask before. If you don't mind me asking (again), can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......

Welcome back!😊 Don’t worry: I‘ll answer anyway 🙌

(Side note: top 7 OR✨ 10?😂 Oddly specific^^)

1. Star Wars

Aside from the obvious things like lightsabers and force powers, I think what pulled me into the SW universe is the simplicity of it, espeically in the OT: good vs. evil, a hero‘s call to adventure and his responsibility to save the galaxy from the evil clutches of the Empire, the power of friendship, the whole concept of the force, the strength to not succumb to the dark side, to stay true to yourself even if it costs you your life, the idea that the good things in our life are things we have to work hard for while the bad things are easy and faster to obtain and oh so manipulative and tempting. It seems to address a truth we can all relate to or are at least aware of. Luke Skywalker is someone I can look up to. And sometimes I can't ask for more.

2. Harry Potter

Always. To this day the Harry Potter books and movies feel like you're coming home after a long time abroad. The world building has always made me feel like it could be true: there could be a wizard society existing right next to our own. Just the sheer richness of characters, places, magical items and wizard life were enough to draw me in as a kid. It’s childhood preserved in book form. It’s fun in the first school years and tragical in the last ones. It’s a world that feels lived in. It’s a tale about the power of friendship and about facing things you actually don’t want to face. It taught me to be brave and kind and that striving for power is a path towards loneliness and a hollow, ego centric existence.

3. Naruto

I fell in love with the premise pretty early on when I started watching Naruto: the question of what makes a shinobi a shinobi, how can you be a good shinobi and a good person, are you only allowed to be loyal to your village? What about your friends and family? Why do we have to kill each other? Why is it human nature to be cruel and violent? Naruto asked so many existential and moral questions which I find interesting to explore. Then we have the idea of chakra and how its used, different jutsus and fighting styles, shinobi villages, the struggle between being a human being, the hardships of the shinobi life and how to overcome them and what happens to those who dispair and choose a life of darkness. The messages about friendship, family, loyalty, unconditional love and to work hard for your goal no matter what everybody else says, hit me hard. I will always come back to read or watch Naruto.

4. One Piece

Apart from the world building, which is one of the best in modern literature, I think what made me fall in love with this manga/anime are its characters, the humour and Oda's storytelling ability, which has been consistently brilliant for all those years. The world of One Piece with all its crazy characters and rules shouldn't work but it does, because it's not all fun and games and silliness but it means something. It means something to the characters. There are themes in it I will never get tired of: following your dreams, working hard, loyalty, friendship, we don't abandon our friends or dreams, we stick together no matter what. Oda knows how to balance comedy, tragedy and adventure perfectly. He knows also how to do setups and how to cash in the payoffs at just right moment. You as a reader are allowed to follow the bread crumbs and think and I appreciate it that he doesn't spell the things out for us.

5. The Lord of the Rings

I read the books and I've seen the movies more than I can count. It's my ultimate love. It's something I can pop in at anytime, under any circumstances and be completely emersed in it within seconds. It feels like home. It is home. The world building is rich and complex. The characters are loveable and more nuanced than they might let on. The story has timeless themes that transcend cultures, age, gender: chaos and darkness are tempting and destructive, but you not only have the responsibility to stand against it but also you have the ability to do so. It's a story about sacrifices, will power, love, friendship and hope. It seems to touch something within us. It leaves you with the comfort of this one single thought that there are higher powers or a grand plan involved.

6. True Blood/ The Southern Vampire Mysteries

This book series hit me once my girlish enthusiasm for the Vampire Diaries and its repetiveness slowly started to fade away but my hunger for vampire stories was still as big as ever. I thought I gave it a shot and boy, did it hit me. I think I read the first 4 books within a week. I absolutely liked that Sookie wasn't a teenager anymore but in her mid twenties when the first book picks up her story. The way she sees the world was exactly my kind of humour but mature and that was a welcome suprise after all the teenage drama in TVD. Her problems were how to pay for the gas for her car or for a new driveway. And of course that she can read minds. Charlaine Harris also made her vampires different enough but also used common tropes. It was a blend of the old and the new. She imagined how vampires and humans would live together in the modern world and she slayed on that part. I loved Sookie and I loved Eric. They were the main reasons why I kept reading.

7. A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones

The richness of the world building and the characters is what made me fall for the TV series and later the books. I think I started to watch it once the third seasons was rolling around. Like most, I did like the approach of "let's make it high fantasy but with an overdose of reality and history to it". That was brilliant. George knows how to write interesting characters, who aren't entirely bad or good but just brutally human. He also understands setup and consequences but above all he understands people. You know somebody is writing bloody good characters and plotlines if your are not mad at the author but at the characters for the choices they are making. You always understood why characters did the things they did, even though it didn't make it any less heartbraking at times. I don't think that George is ever going to be able to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion. The fantasy genre follows specific rules and George broke them to create something new. But he will come to realize that he now can't use these rules to finish the series. It's not going to work.

8. The Mummy (1999)

The cinema and movie nerds among my friends are always making fun of me for liking this movie as much as I do but I can't help it. It's the only successful Indiana Jones movie without Indiana Jones in it. Just the perfect mixture between adventure, horror, romance and comedy. How many times I'm quoting lines of this movie on a daily basis is insane. It's another unconditional love of mine. I'm going to keep watching it till the end of my days. We know that O'Connell and the gang are going to defeat the mummy but how they are doing it is so much fun. Brendan Fraser is a national treasure and just perfect for playing a brave, good looking, slightly ruggish adventurer, with the right amount of humour sprinkled in, who falls hard for the bookish girl. Like, come on. That's enough to sell me on any movie. Him and Rachel Weisz are just hitting it of. This film just feels like a warm cup of cocoa with a lot of cream. It makes me laugh, it makes me gush over Rick, it makes me want to learn acient Egyptian and run off into an adventure.

9. Once Upon a Time

Ten years ago I was so addicted to this show. I liked this idea that because of a spell from the Evil Queen all the fairytale characters have been forced to live a normal life in modern day America and they don't even remember who they are, apart from the Evil Queen. It's a classical the "Chosen One"/Heroes story with a little twist, that the relationship between most of the fairytale characters shifts during the story or was even told differently from how the audience remembers it from their fairytale books. It's basically a criminal investigation about who did this to these characters and how the protagonist can reverse the spell. Besides it's a story about fate, about love, friendship, about how villains and heroes are made and that things aren't just black and white. The characters are complex and because of this setup you can throw them in various scenarios, which made for some surprising teamups (Rumpelstilzchen/Belle). I was never bored with this show. Although it had complex themes at times the show handled them familyfriendly and that just fitted the overall fairytale vibe and wholesomeness of the show perfectly.

10. Band of Brothers

This HBO mini series about the story of E Company of the 101st Airborne during WWII stole my heart. I like war movies and if I had to explain why then I'd say because it reminds me of what was and what could easily happen again. The horrors of war, the sacrifices, the tragedy, the generational trauma, the loss, the heroes, the defeated, how quickly we forget our humanity once the bullets start flying, but also the little moments of friendship and will power that keep us alive. Band of Brothers has all that. It's based on real events and real people and although some things are dramatized for the sake of film making, they managed to stay quite accurate. You get to know these men and you get to see them struggle, in pain, laughing, joking, crying, die or survive. It makes you smile and breaks your heart in the next second. It's a series that captured me from start till finish.

The oldest known Harry Potter fanfiction

I only discovered yesterday the first Harry Potter fanfiction ever published, it dates back to 1999, even before the release of Prisoner of Azkaban. The story is available on Fanfiction.net and on Ao3 in full. It's thanks to this story that we have fanfiction platforms on the Harry Potter fandom. This story, however simple, started it all. It deserves more recognition. Thomas P. Erwin is such a tragic Character 🥺
