Hot take but I really do think that some of y’all need to consider how/why/when/how often you’re making fun of straight people for being straight

I do it too, I’m not going to pretend I don’t make jokes about the hets, or the down with cis bus, or whatever

But I recently befriended a cis, straight dude and I have watched him be dismissed, degraded, and unambiguously insulted for the perceived “crime” of being straight — all in queer environments where he is allegedly “completely welcome” and surrounded by “friends”

This guy is not a toxic person! But I have seen him be made to feel so small and like his comfort and safety in those spaces are conditional on his silence and acceptance of being treated like a human dunk zone, and I think that some of y’all have had so much shit from straight/cis people that the second you feel like you’ve got an inch, you want to luxuriate in the perceived catharsis of bullying someone who— actually —doesn’t deserve it

And until he very, very carefully mentioned to me in private that it makes him feel bad, I didn’t even clock that I was involved in doing that, that it had become so instinctive for me to make casual jokes like that, and that— well meaning or otherwise —I had been contributing to an environment that made someone I really really like feel like shit

So, I dunno, I think maybe some of y’all should think about that too

Just started reading Sherlock Holmes and all the adaptations are wrong. This man is a delight. He gets excited about hemoglobin and is ecstatic at the thought of Watson as a roommate. He purposefully forgets how the solar system works so he has more room in his brain for crime. He shows Watson the dirt stains on his trousers and he can tell what part of London they come from based on color and consistency. (As far as i can tell Watson didn't ask, Sherlock just gets back from walks and tells Watson about the stains unprompted.) The text specifically says "Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with." Why does every adaptation make him unpleasant and rude, he's literally just eccentric. He's such a goober, I love him.

hey gang. are we gonna talk about how Snape grew into exactly what he perceived teenage James Potter to be? unnecessarily cruel, picked on those with less power than him, arrogant (debatable for Snape but the 'I can teach you how to bottle fame brew glory stopper death etc' speech was him GLAZING himself LMAO) and found a target in a kid with a difficult family life?

this isnt a criticism of Snape or James. this is just an observation and objective fact. both Snape and James were/did the things I listed above, James in his adolescence and Snape in his adulthood. I just found it interesting.

Cuando el sol sale

Tu gran alma despierta

Para ser vida.

El efímero

Recuerdo de tus labios

Me acompaña hoy.

sometimes when I’m being especially self deprecating and convinced no one likes me I have to tell myself “you’re being goob. you are being goob right now”

I just want to cry.

au where james and regulus have been dating since high school. their relationship started to get rocky during their law (james) and med (reg) school years. one night, during one of their most heated arguments, james decided to take a break and leave for a while, where he ended up in a car accident that left him unconscious for three days. when he finally woke up, he had no recollection of anything. overwhelmed by guilt, regulus asked their friends and family to refrain from reminding james of their relationship.

regulus packed everything that could remind james of their relationship and moved out of their home. he focused on graduating from med school and kept a distance from james. then during his first year of residency, james was rushed to the emergency room by his boyfriend to the hospital where regulus was working.

regulus was attending to another patient when he heard james’ boyfriend screaming for help. as he tended to james, who suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and asked regulus if they had met before. regulus quickly denied it and handed him over to an intern.

ever since that encounter, james has been unable to get a certain doctor out of his mind. he has made it his mission to learn more about him and uncover if regulus is one of the things he had forgotten in the past…. that’s when he stumbled upon an old polaroid photo of them beaming at each other, with regulus showing off his engagement ring.

i love the idea that the skittles had their own adventures at hogwarts that were more chaotic than the marauders' but they're lowkey about it. like oh, you guys were the ones who put that giant squid in the lake? cool. barty is currently possessed by a 16th century demon pandora accidentally released. it hasn't done anything yet and he seems fine and we're late to potions so we'll deal with that when he starts levitating while speaking in a dead language.

You’re a Wizard.

Remus bit his tongue, the juvenile words of “Detention Prewett” were on the tip of his tongue.

No, he reminded himself harshly. That’s Fred and George Weasley. Not Fabian and Gideon. I’m not a Prefect, I’m the Professor.

Remus grit his teeth.

Luna Lovegood floated into the room and Remus saw unwelcome visions, the present melting away to accommodate the past. Regulus Black was there, guiding Pandora when she was batting her lashes at Xenophilius Lovegood.

Draco Malfoy was an amusing mixture of Lucius and Narcissa. He stuck his nose up and raised one manicured brow like his mother, but his ugly words and prideful manners were all his father.

Remus laughed guilelessly, what was wrong with him. Fraternising with the enemy, Moony? A very familiar voice chirped in his head.

It hurt so bad.

Every time Hermione Granger raised her hand, to the chagrin of the rest of the class, Remus saw Lily Evans. Her fierce intelligence and determination a weapon to dismantle the prejudice faced by Muggleborns. Lily would’ve loved her.

He wiped his face with tired hands.

Honestly, Remus was never meant to survive this. He was simply an unfortunate survivor. An anomaly.

Hah, now suffer.

There was Neville Longbottom, with ears that stuck out like his father and a shy smile to match his mother’s. I’ll watch over him now, Remus promised the smiling Alice and Frank in his memories, apologising for the years gone by.

Then there were the little things.

Snape always caused a spark of his old Marauder spirit to overtake his senses. It also brought forth very vivid sounds of two devils whispering into his ears. Potter and Black, always at the crime scene.

No, no. He batted that thought away before he could spiral.

Remus found himself shocked by the streaks of white in Minerva McGonagall’s hair, which 15 years ago that would’ve caused an uproar. Not even his own greying roots had caused him so much sadness.

His heart ached when he saw Madame Pomfrey pressing her knuckles into her strained back. How much had he missed while hiding from this wretched world?

But what struck a raw nerve was Harry Potter, of course.

The Toad green of his eyes and the bird’s nest of his hair. It had been so long but all he could see in the young Potter boy was his friend. A friend who had betrayed him, but his friend nonetheless.

I know you, he pursed his lips to prevent screaming that when he was addressed as Professor Lupin and not Unc’e Moo’y. He had to remind himself that he wasn’t the one who could get Prongslet to burp or take a nap anymore. He was the weird, mismatched man for a teacher.

You know Harry doesn’t think of you like that. Ah, Lily, wise as always.

The James in Harry Potter stuck out like a sore thumb, much like his hair, when he whizzed across the quidditch pitch with innate talent, when he couldn’t hold back his tongue while talking to Snape, when he faffed about in lessons. But it pained more to see Harry stand up for his friends, like his father had always done, and when he went searching for trouble despite being explicitly warned against it.

Oh, how I miss you Prongs.

He sat back in his chair, creaky and hard as it was. There was only one person he hadn’t found in his students.

Remus closed his eyes.

Sirius Black grinned at him from behind his eyelids. Miss me, Moony?

Dragons and princes

University AU (Draco Malfoy x Harry Potter)

This is an idea I’ve had for a long time but didn’t know if I wanted to continue. Basically, Draco and Harry grew up together (no Voldy world) playing fairytales together, Harry would be a prince waiting for a knight in shining armour and  Draco would be the dragon keeping him captive. As they grew, Harry developed the biggest crush on Draco but since high school, they’ve been almost enemies. Now, in university, they find themselves forced together more often than not, leading to new feelings and dynamics coming alive.

Harry enters the house and throws his head back with a lovesick smile on his face that breaks once he hears the well-known voice of Draco.

“Had fun on your little date with your charming prince?” Draco says with venom dripping, but still manages to keep his cheeky smile.

“Actually yes. If you excuse me, I will like to go talk about it with Sirius,” Harry continues before feeling the grip of the other boy on his wrist and feeling butterflies erupting in his stomach.

“Not so fast, prince. You and I have something important to do together.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“What I mean is that you and I are going on an anti-date," he says proudly while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Look, Draco, it’s really late, can we do this another time?” Harry sighs knowingly tired of the boy’s erratic behaviour.

"Cedric might have been your first date, fulfilling all your expectations,” Draco says, getting closer and closer with fire in his eyes. “But, you know me, I’m your unpredictable and I’m taking you on your first ever anti-date.”

"That is super stupid, Draco.”

"My absolute specialty.”

They continue staring at each other in a silent war of gazes. Harry almost forgot about the amazing date he had just been in, just because of the pair of electric eyes that were encouraging him and once Draco took his hand and started playing with it, he knew he didn’t stand a chance.

"Agh, fine. Can I even know what we’re doing, dragon?”

“It’s a surprise. Now put on something warm.”

– Dragons and princes.

I might be overreacting (i am) but i saw somebody say carrington was barty irl and i literally like felt the steam come out of my ears. ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY like i turned into a whole ass emoji due to that DRASTIC mischaracterisation of barty.

Like please can we remember barty is more than being stupid and jokes, and he’s for sure not like that 24/7. Whereas this whole ass celebrity has never shown any other side to him other than him being a funny person. Okay you could be sitting there like ‘but riri… he is a funny person! why not make that connection,’ ITS BECAUSE BARTY IS SOOO COMPLEX OKAY barty is very complex in my eyes and it pains me to see him like that. Plus this man KILLED PEOPLE AND WENT BATSHIT CRAZY?? HOW IS HE CARRINGTON☹️. I get saying oh he’d have his humour or something small but being THE WHOLE ASS MAN. That’s what i’m getting at here.

(sorry)

Assistant AU

Assistant Regulus Black x CEO James Potter

James gets out of the elevator with a fake smile plastered on his face, trying to hide his inner crisis from his employees while making his way to his office. Some people stop to greet him and he responds politely without making a stop.

But, once he got to his assistant's desk, the smile on his face turned genuine. Would you judge him if you were received by soft black curls, playful grey eyes, a hot cup of coffee and a discreet and the smile that could only belong to an angel?

"Regulus, good morning. Thank you, you're my savior," James said while putting a hand on his chest, making the boy in front of him laugh. "I'm going to need for us to go over my agenda as soon as possible, I'll wait for you inside my office."

Withouth expecting a response, James continued to his office letting the door open in invite for the boy carrying a couple folders.

"Well, Mr. Potter, today you have a meeting with Gringotts Bank for the new collection's loan. Since we're going to need a launch campaign, I'll make sure to schedule for you to meet up with Ms. Meadows," Regulus placed the folders on the desk while rapidly going through the agenda, "Also, earlier your mother called, she said she would be expecting your call to discuss an urgent matter. And-"

"Regulus, stop," James interrupted to bring up once again a problem he had been having with Regulus ever since he started. "I shouldn't have to tell you this again, Regulus. Call me James, I'm not that older than you."

Regulus looked away trying to hide his blush, however, James managed to see it and couldn't help but feel something in his chest warm, so he continue.

"About the rest, don't worry. I'll need you to call Dorcas and schedule a meeting. If we manage to have it today and here, it'll be perfect. I'll call my mom in a moment and check the files I gave you yesterday."

With that, James took a file and sat back, silently dismissing the other boy. However, after a few seconds of silent and lack of movement, Regulus spoke once again.

"Anything else, mister... I mean, James?" the mentioned boy silently thanks every god in existence for having something in his hand to make him look busy, because he didn't know how much power Regulus held in his hands just by saying his name. He knew he was a goner.

A ciencia cierta ninguna de las dos chicas puede señalar el momento exacto en que su acuerdo y amistad las llevó a encontrarse tan cómodos en posiciones como esta... más aún cuando la premisa del día no resulta tan carnal sino casi reflexiva.

Nessa, en especial, no sabe si sentirse agradecida o amargada por este cambio de las cosas, pues no hay nada que la haga sentir más extasiado que saber que la chica a su lado la quiere.

No le importa si se trata de un querer condicionado por el furor de dos cuerpos.

Porque, luego, momentos como estos en los que la mayor no teme volverse vulnerable para expresarle lo mucho que la ha extrañado, la hacen sentir por lo alto.

Aun así no se dejen llevar por la altura...

Nessa se siente como cuando va en una montaña rusa y su coche solo sube y sube. Está distraída por las vistas, pero en su estómago está esa inevitable sensación... de que en cualquier momento caerá.
