being a POC in the Marauders/HP fandom is really interesting to me because it seems and feels like a really predominantly white space, which, hey, nothing new! and that does come with some challenges. for the most part, they're fairly under the radar.
it's things like being able to count the POC in a discord server on one hand, even though there's 100+ people in the community.
it's people not taking into account racial dynamics whether that be in a fic, or in a tiktok, tumblr, whatever. there are innate power imbalances in our society (regardless of what country you live in) and to assume because this fandom is a largely open, liberal and leftist space, that they don't carry over to fandom, is exceptionally naive. buuuuut, we live and learn, so people can and should be given a certain amount of grace. but what is unforgivable is to have them pointed out to you and for you to dismiss, ignore or belittle them. Not only that, but you as a white person, do not get to be the forgiving voice to another white person when they make one of these mistakes. please please please respect and understand that.
there's also (and i'm sorry if this is controversial and frankly it makes me really nervous to even write this), a trend of assigning ethnicities, cultures and races to characters in stories without having a proper understanding of them, or having a particular reason for doing so. I'm never going to sit here and say "you as a white person shouldn't write about ____ race!", because I don't believe that. but what I would really, really love to see, is for white creators and writers to ask themselves some questions beforehand:
what does the race of this character add to the story outside of me chasing clout with a particular group of people/is it necessary for me to be writing the lived experience of a culture/ethnicity I've never taken the time to learn about?
if so, why?
am i the right person to be doing this?
are my actions outside of my writing towards these POC reflective of this?
i also think it's really important to remember that unconscious bias is a thing, and it's really easy for us to spot in your writing if it isn't something you've addressed. Not only that, but even if you write the most well-researched POC in your fic, even if you're sharing posts about Lebanon and Palestine, none of that matters if your actions when interacting with us show us that you are indifferent to the power dynamics at play with you being a white person, often with a large audience, in this space. virtue signalling is spectacularly unhelpful if you're writing checks your ass can't cash.
that being said, I think throwing 'racist' around as a term at people who make mistakes is really unhelpful. because every situation has context and nuance, and dogpiling never helps anybody. there are opportunities for learning, developing and understanding here. but please remember, if a POC tells you something is upsetting, harmful or offensive - even if other POC haven't said that to you - it's not your place as a white person to dismiss that.
anyway, hope that helps, love u very much xo
Race is always present whether our awareness is there or not!! Its very important in fandom we have this awareness AND are considerate of race in our writing.
Thank u Lana 💛💛💛💛
But to feel it, to see it
The look in all their eyes
what would the OCs patronuses be?
Just took the test and tried my best to answer how I feel they would x

Tonya - dragonfly (🥺)
Lottie - dolphin (cute ☺️)
Trish - skunk (wILD - she'd find it funny af)
Simeon - peacock (oml not predictable at all)
Lee - mongrel dog (and if i said i cried)

These are so good I can't even decide which I love the most they're spot on

✍️ Fuck me up, Florida by coralsunset @abz-coralsunset
Ship(s): Dorcas Meadowes/Marlene McKinnon
Rating: E
Summary:
Marlene Mckinnon has a history of picking up girls and blowing their minds. She loves the rush of it, the thrill of the chase and winning her prize.
When she meets Dorcas Meadows, in a leather pleated mini skirt and cowboy boots, Marlene wants her. Badly. Can Marlene relinquish control?
🕯 pick your poison, babe by allthelittle @marislittlestories
Ship(s): Marlene McKinnon/Emmeline Vance
Rating: M
Summary:
The problem is this: Marlene remembers when it was good. The bad looks worse in the light of those first few months, when everything was exciting and lovely and new, all those memories that her mind renders in startling, awful clarity.
It sets her up for a fatal crash, every time.
🗝 pierce new holes in my heart by watchyoubreathingout
Ship(s): Hermione Granger/Harry Potter
Rating: E
Summary:
It had started with a fissure. The history of them had just been a series of cracks that ended in a complete break. That ended in Hermione in their favourite Muggle bar watching him with another woman, her hands running through his messy black hair, leaving his famous scar on display for all to see. Of course, no one there knew its significance. Not the way Hermione did. No one knew Harry the way she did. Every beautiful piece, and every broken one. And no one ever would. Of that she was sure.
Hermione and Harry's love for one another is enough, until it finally isn't.

Ship(s): Regulus Black/James Potter
Rating: M
Summary:
But Potter let out a shout of laughter. “You need to get out more, Reggie.”
“Don’t call me-”
“Suppose you want to do something else?” Potter asked, ignoring Regulus’s flustered expression and holding out his hand.
“I…” he almost said no. Normally, he would have. But maybe it was the combination of being in a boring place in his book, mourning the loss of his childhood ignorance, and the James Potter of it all that made him hesitate. He blinked. “Alright,” he sighed, reaching up.
When their hands connected, his heart flew like a hummingbird.
He refused to think about why.
🖌 Way to go, Tiger by houndsinheaven
Ship(s): Draco Malfoy & Scorpius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy & Harry Potter
Rating: Gen
Summary:
The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean
You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline
But now we'll curtail your curiosity
In sweetness
Way to go, Tiger
Scorpius Malfoy's seventh birthday.

Wolfstar Sketches
This is an illustration of @arliedraws one-shot "Scars". I completely fell in love with this fine little work of literature, so much I immediately knew I had to paint an illustration of it! Here is a snippet which inspired me for this illustration: ~~~
“You know what my family was like,” Sirius pressed. “You can imagine I’m not used to telling people that I care about them. So maybe it’s not clear to you, but I love you very much—”
It sounded like Sirius’s voice was coming from the end of a long tunnel, and Harry had the sudden urge to shove him back onto the floor. The feeling of a thumb rubbing against his knuckle kept him from floating away.
“—You’re the most important thing to me,” Sirius was saying. “I would die before I let anything happen to you.”
“But I don’t want you to die!” Harry said. “That’s what I’m afraid of the most!”
Heat rushed into his face, and he pulled his hands away, tucking them back under his crossed arms. He couldn’t explain to Sirius that it would destroy him to lose the only parent he’d ever known; he couldn’t look him in the eye for fear that Sirius would guess the truth.
But Sirius reached and guided Harry’s chin so that their gazes met; the soft concern he wore nearly made Harry leap from the settee and run back to his room.
~~~ Scars by @arliedraws, painting by me. Thank you so much for this wonderful fic! I am a craver for Sirius-Harry dadfoot content, and this deeply touched me. 😭
