Sad Scorp

Sometimes I think about Scorpius during the summer before 3rd year, and then I don’t want to think anymore 😞 (RIP Astoria. If only the writers cared enough to actually add you to the plot instead of killing you off)

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child 27.07.25 notes

Here’s a Google Doc containing notes I took of the show. This was definitely the most chaotic performance I’ve ever seen

[valleyian]

i saw the cursed child again today🆘 I didn’t plan to go, but my brain kept replaying the Scorbus hand-holding from yesterday, I just HAD TO see Sam’s Scorpius again. I only saw part two today, but I managed to take some videos!

FIRST OF ALL, THE HAND HOLDING:

THE HAND HOLDING. THE. HAND. HOLDING.

I was low key disappointed they didn’t do the adjusting tie thing today, but I WOULD LITERALLY JUST EAT ANY SCORBUS CRUMBS and this wasn’t crumbs, it was a WHOLE LOAF of bread. (good bread, nice bread - what’s wrong with bread?)

And oh god the way Albus smiled when he wrapped his arms around Scorpius😭and when he looked down and saw Scorpius holding his hand, he also smiled🥹 and Scorpius’s hand lingering on Albus’s when he turned to leave? Ugh. Our boys are so in love.

(Part 1/4)

(Part 2/4)

(Part 3/4)

I watched Aidan Close’s interview from Behind the Curtain on YouTube, and there was a bit at the 26:32 min mark that had me chuckling and I had to draw it

I am aware that they are supposed to be fully in disguise during this scene but I wanted to draw the characters as themselves :)

Thoughts on Tom Felton and Cursed Childs new casting

Oh boy, time for another long rant nobody asked for because I legit cannot go any longer without expressing my utter devastation and anger at this.

Let’s start with this. I hate JKR, and due to Toms connection and support of her, I hate him by proxy. Here’s what made HPCC stand out from the regular franchise. The casting was diverse, nuanced and even bold at some times, with multiple trans and queer actors having gotten lead roles. What does adding Tom Felton to the mix do? Ruin that “safe” environment that previously was made by trans/queer actors to spite JKR. The entire rewrite, the actors who helped shape the show for I inclusivity, that’s all gone now.

And before it’s mentioned, I know HPCC could never be a truly safe space for queer and trans people due to it being a part of the HP franchise. However in all of its years running, there have been so many castings of specifically queer actors to the point it feels like type casting. The changes to the script issued by trans/queer actors is also so important to acknowledge, because it combats at least SOME of JKRs stances. Previously I had assumed the HPCC show had taken their stance by doing these diverse castings. Now it is clear they’d rather prioritise money and profit.

Which leads to the next point, being that this is so obviously a cashgrab. I know HPCC isn’t selling well, especially because these past few months they’ve been doing so many collabs with old actors in a desperate attempt to stay relevant, in addition to the Brazil prod being cancelled. What breaks my heart is that HPCC BW does Genuenly have good and specifically queer fan base, that see nuances and good in the show. Not to sound sappy, but the “actual fans” of the show are what makes being in this fandom so fun. People who go to see the actors and appreciate what the show has previously stood for, especially after the rewrite.

Now the show is going to infiltrated by Draco fangirls who couldn’t give to shits about the actual show, and are only there to thirst over a middle aged man past his prime. Stage door is a nightmare, and rip to ANY new actor, especially Draco actors that will cover for him, because nobody is going to acknowledge em anymore. The fact the show is about ALBUS and SCORPIUS, yet the show is advertising more about Draco now, who mind you has like 30 min screen time in the films and even less on stage. Plus I bet there will be an influx of hate towards the actual plot of the show, because BW is running with the new even shorter script, which in my honest opinion sucks.

Lastly, Toms involvement in the show I believe will force the BW actors to be more careful about their outspokenness against JKR, in addition to NDAs being stricter. Previously BW had gotten away with so much, like nearly kisses on stages, and so many other things that and undeniably queer coded. Having Tom, and then by proxy JKR be this close to the show will ruin all that. Not only that but I doubt and hope no trans/queer actor would feel safe sharing a stage with him. Idc if he’s not directly transphobic or homophobic, he has chosen to side with JKR and that’s enough for me to not like him. Previous actors, and current ones now at West-End, constantly repost stuff about trans rights and are vocal about their political views. Being political is a part of theatre, and queer identity and the creative arts. This casting ruins that entirely, and just goes to show how in the end they’re willing to negate 4 years of the progress they made for a quick buck.

Good luck to my US fans out there 🫡🫡

DUDE HAVE YOU READ MY MIND??!! IVE BEEN ROCKING WITH THE SCORPION + ASP PATRONUS HEADCANON FOR SO LONG OMFG FINALLY!!

because albus and scorpius' patronus' aren't confirmed, there are a bunch of different headcanons for what they may be, and they are all valid because it's up to interpretation.

BUT nothing can match the absolute hilariousness of albus and scorpius' patronus being a scorpion and asp, respectively.

like, imagine, okay. when scorpius manages to produce a corpeal patronus and it's an asp, let's be real, he's not going to recognize that it is an asp specifically because I highly doubt snake species were scorpius' taste for hyperfixations. so, he sees it's a snake is like "oh for slytherin, i guess" and goes about his day. then in his DADA class, there's this one student who knows a ton about snakes (watch it be a gryffindor, I love irony) is like "ummmmmmm that's an asp 🤓☝️" and everyone is giggling and oooooooing and it has not yet clicked for scorpius. he sees everyone making their eyebrows dance and is like, "you guys good 😭" and no one tells him shit. anyways he's going about his day with albus, and everything is dandy and full of homoerotic tension. that night, scorpius sees on one albus' papers, and he wrote his name as "ASP." when scorpius inquires him, albus is like "mate those are my initials, albus severus potter is a mouthful, " and only THEN does it click for scorpius and he's sitting there going "oooooooohhhhhh" in his brain.

meanwhile, for albus, when he sees that scorpion patronus, he clocks it immediately and goes in a full-on gay crisis. like it is bad, yall, it's so embarrassing. because he thinks his feelings are unrequited, resolves that scorpius can NOT know. anyways, he's in DADA and everyone is producing their partronus' and albus absolutely refuses to do it in class, so albus fakes sick and teacher, who's absolutely done, is like "fineeeeee leave." anyways, albus rocks up to the hospital wing, and she's like,"dude. nothing is wrong with you. go back to class." but albus is a menace when he's determined, so he sees the stairs and flings himself down them billy-loomis-style and breaks something for real. a few minutes later he's hobbling to the hospital wing, and despite the pain, he's smug as fuck. after treating albus, madame pomfrey starts drafting her resignation letter. (while all this is occurring, Scorpius produced his patonus in class).

anyways, a couple days later, albus is FORCED to at LEAST TRY to produce his patronus in front of the class. and after much cajoling and threatening, he does. and it's a scorpion. and after witnessing scorpius' asp patronus days ago, the class is going absolutely WILD. theres hollering and there's gasp of astonishment and everyone's teasing them, and basically it's what albus feared.

BUT scorpius has connected the dots with the asp patronus and the Scorpion patronus, so he produces his patronus in front of albus and albus sees that it's an asp!! anyways they have a musical montage where they confess and look at each other dreamily and kiss after class.

some hcs for scorp + the potter siblings in an attempt to update my character sheets

[valleyian]

Uhhhh height chart(?) I guess?? How is that called? idk 🥸 I was actually going to look for references, cool poses and fully color, but I did the first sketch for the Potters and immediately knew I did not want to make myself go trhougt that lmao I'm way too lazy, so we have this kinda boring, wonky anatomy and only base colors thingy with my headcanons for their heights (as always I'm indecisive so this could change by the next time I draw them who knows.)

If the fashion is ugley it's bc I can only do so much with my own shit taste ok 😔 also, Louis has to wear like 81729292 layers of clothing when it's cold bc of my headcanon of him having health issues (they love him so they overprotect him) so yeah I hope the outfits look good enough ig 😭😭 These are the heights they stop growing at btw, if that wasn't clear lol.

And I'm truly amazed by Scorbus height difference when I don't even like height difference lmaooo I lowkey didn't realize I made it so big until I did this ngl, but like I said, Scorpius being tall and Albus being short just feels right for them idkkk.

Original “Blue hair” Scorbus animatic

When I first uploaded this on TikTok it got flagged, which led me to remake the video to a shorter version with the song “Cigarettes Daydreams.” This is the original version of that animatic, which hopefully won’t be taken down. TW for implied SH

Thoughts on Cursed Child becoming a movie

A very random late night rant, but here we go. I’ve seen a lot of fake trailers circle around the web and on social media in regards to a potential HPCC movie. And whilst that’s all fun and games, I also want to talk about the actual consequences a movie like that would have on both the fandom and people.

First off I need people to understand that HPCC is an (almost) separate entity of the Wizarding World franchise, being mostly excluded or regarded as “non canon” by the mainstream. However this does NOT mean JKR doesn’t receive royalties from the play, she still earns money from it. The ethics of spending money on the play is also something to be discussed, however I want to specifically talk about the consequences that a potential movie would have on the HPCC story and the representation within it.

First of, HPCC although it has controversies, is in my opinion the best installation in the Harry Potter universe when it comes to representation. What do I mean by that? Since HPCC is a theatre play, it follows general casting rules which in most cases is colour blind. This is implemented in most theatre productions where ethnicity of actors do not matter, HPCC is not an exception. This means that a lot of POC actors get opportunities to be on stage and portray these characters, not to mention the deliberate casting of Hermione Granger. (Although I will note that this casting has caused a lot of stir, in addition to the fact most of the productions have yet to cast a POC lead in the role of Albus, not counting Tokyo or Brazil).

Although only speculation on my part, I can’t imagine a HPCC movie would be able to deliver on the representation shown in the play, with the numerous casts that have been. I also would assumed they’d return to the white casting of Rose and Hermione, which obviously would erase the theatre play castings purpose.

Then onto my second point; being queer representation. Although it’s not confirmed 100%, and also wouldn’t be able to be confirmed as long as JKR has her dirty grubby hands on the IP, Scorbus is as close to canon as possible. This became evident after the script rewrite, a rewrite that was deliberately written by the current queer actors of the play. It was also written as a retaliation agains JKRs bigoted statements which she had began to spread at that time. So as of now, the play leaves the relationship between Albus and Scorpius ambiguous, yet it is very obvious there is a romantic undertone. This is the closest to any LGBTQ rep in the Harry Potter Universe, (no I will not count Dumbledore and Grindewald) and it means so much to people. A movie by Warner Bros and directed by JKR would most certainly remove all aspects of this, and return to the original script with the very forced addition of Scorpius x Rose. (Nothing against the ship, but I’m against the way it was used as a last minute ploy to remove any assumed gayness).

A subsection to this topic I want to touch upon is also queer representation within the casting. It’s not uncommon for theatre to feature a diverse cast both in ethnicity and orientations. HPCC again is no exception. Over the shows 8 year long run, there has been countless of queer and trans actors who have played in it. There have been gay and trans leads in the roles of Albus and Scorpius as well as the ensemble, and this representation is crucial. Especially since this is an IP within JKRs hands, casting people of said groups is such a powerful move. I can almost guarantee a movie would NOT be as inclusive.

And lastly, if there is a movie, should you support it? It’s not my place to say, and I will also acknowledge I am hypocritical when it comes to what I chose to consume and spend money on in regards to the Harry Potter franchise. However I also want to acknowledge that when you are supporting the theatre play, you do give money to JKR, but you also give money to the numerous queer and POC actors in the cast, a lot of whom are activist. I personally will stay away from any HPCC content that erases any of the current representation added. Unless the movie follows the new script, with POC and queer actors, as well as minimal influence for JKR, I WILL NOT support it. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Also, feel free to correct me if I stated something incorrect or false in this rant!
