The Astronomy Tower.

Tom is leaning over the railing a little bit. He’d been staring down into the darkness before Albus arrived. L’appel du vide, he supposes. Now Albus is standing with him, looking up at the stars like some sort of melancholy statue, for sure wracked by guilt for some reason or another. No words have been exchanged.

"we need more of james potter and marlene mckinnon's friendship in this fandom!!" what if the world was made out of pudding.

[thestrangestriddle]

You're so pathetic and it's so bloody obvious you don't even have friends here to connect with your petty tastes. Bellamort is canon. Your rancid shitty, fetishist ships are not. Cry about it.

Err, good for you? As is the ship that's literally the theme of this blog, lmao. Can you cope and mald elsewhere about people liking gay non-canon ships you hate?

Voldemort would never fuck a guy and the author would rather gouge her own eyes out than see that kind of shit 🤢

Well, I'm not stopping her in that case.

[thestrangestriddle]

Listen, you absolute fucking moron, calling Bellatrix a caricature? Your brain must be a soggy biscuit if you think she's just some cartoonish twat. She's a deranged, lethal witch who'd make a grown adult piss themselves, not some half-arsed pulp fiction reject. If your "mature literary taste" can't handle her terrifying depth, then you're a pathetic cunt who wouldn't know a real character if it hexed your sorry arse.

Didn't know Bellatrix had shooters that displayed such grassless behaviour.

do i care at all about this dumb hbo reboot? nope.

do i find it incredibly telling that people who have hated Severus with a passion for years are beyond mad that they cast a black actor to play him because "he cannot be black, he is a Wizard nazi and it's thus relevant for him to be white!!!"?

the race allegory with regard to blood status has been always flimsy at its best (most "fantastic racism" allegories in fantasy and sci-fi are, imho, but that's neither here nor there) and the axis of oppression does not primarily focus on race and ethnicity (it doesn't ignore them either, see Pansy racially insulting Angelina, but that would deserve a much much longer post). considering all that, it makes perfect sense why a non-white pureblood would support the Death Eaters.

But if we take the race allegory and run with it, so anyone with non-magical ancestry is Actually a person of colour - yeah, of course Snape is of mixed race. Duh. Of course he is! In the "rules" of this world, it's the logical conclusion for Severus Snape to be biracial - as it is for Harry from the side of his mother. Yes, even if his maternal aunt, a woman of colour, is utterly heinous towards him. The Dursleys are thus also people of colour - even if they are a parody of a certain type of white Brits (see... this is where the allegory already starts to break).

Maybe instead of performative outrage over a casting, people could just be honest and say they wanted him to be white so they could continue to hate him, free of guilt and with a sense of justice.

i genuinely try to repress any desire to read hp fic bc it always leads to me writing hp fic which is actually me ignoring my ongoing longfics, neither of which are hp-related :/
