☆ altair - they/them - abandoning reality ☆

[altair-meadows]

☆ intro

hey, i am altair, they/them, 22, i love fantasy stories, music, tea and fairy lights. my favourite trope is found family.

so far, i mostly posted about the marauders era but i try to get away from it (because of jkr).

i'll try to set a focus on non-romantic relationships, female, nonbinary and lesser represented characters/ships and to write only few hurtful headcanons/microfics, but no promisses - it's all work in progress.

i created a second blog @platonic-multifandom-microfics where i post prompts for microfics every month and love to read all your submitted stories from any fandom or with your original characters about platonic relationships in a quest to bring more focus on and appreciation for friendships and platonic love.

i do not support jkr, i stand with trans people and people on the ace- and aro-spectrum. if you do not, this blog is not for you.

feel free to ask me about what i like or to create something. i am also open to criticism as long as you phrase it nicely.

thank you so much to everyone reading, liking and commenting on my posts! i look forward to meeting you all!

A Small Part of Being Aro

So...I forgot it was aromantic visibility day. I got the date confused with aromantic awareness week in Feb. Oops. I was originally gonna write a fic or story or smth to celebrate, but I'm a slow writer so I wouldn't be able to finish that today. But I still wanted to share something. So I threw this rant together instead, based on my real life. It's not really a story. It's more just...a thing I've been feeling for a while.

I'm aromantic asexual. For me, that means I'm not interested in sex or romance. I'm reminded of this lack of interest nearly every day, because almost every part of our society is based around sex/romance. In little ways at least. It's in nearly all our media, fictional and real, from the TV shows you watch to the stories your parents tell you over dinner. You hear it in every song on the radio. It's a milestone, one that every person is expected to reach. People build their lives around sex and romance. It's to the point where a lot of them don't understand how you could live without it. To them, it's not a life at all.

I've always thought the obsession with sex was really annoying. Basically as soon as I was concious of it's existence, it frustrated me. But the emphasis on romance has always felt...a little different. To me. Maybe because I'm not repulsed by it? I don't know.

I think romance is cute. I don't think it's God's gift to humanity or whatever, but I like watching it happen to other people. I like shipping and romantic stories. It's nice to see my friends pair up and start dating. It's funny to mess with my sisters' partners and both my sisters about their dating lives. I don't think romance is bad. It's fine. I just don't want it.

But...that feeling is weird. Me not wanting it, it feels weird. Not bad weird. But weird.

It feels weird to not want romance, when so much of our society is based around it. Not even just to not have it, but to not WANT it. Most of the people I see who don't have romance, want romance, and are very loud about it. If someone doesn't want romance in fiction, it's almost always treated as a character flaw. If someone doesn't have romance in real life, they're met with sympathy or mockery, because they want it so bad. If someone doesn't want to date/get married then they're seen as a failure because they haven't reached the 'milestone' that everyone else has. It feels like almost everyone. I can't see myself in people who don't have romance, because unlike them, I don't want it. I don't WANT to want it.

I see all these people, longing for romance or celebrating that they finally have one, and I just feel like I'm on the opposite side of a glass wall because I'm completely neutral. I see romance, this thing that makes so many people so happy, and I just sit with the knowledge that it does absolutely nothing for me. I don't want it. I'm okay with that. But it feels weird to not want something that makes everyone so happy.

I like it when my sisters tell me about their love lives, but it feels weird. I listen to my older sister talk about marriage, dreamily imagining her future wedding. I watch my younger sister cry because she can't see her boyfriend for a few months. I want to support them. But I feel a little hollow because I'm so distracted by the fact that I can't understand their want. I mean, I get it logically, it makes them happy. But I'll never feel like them. I'll never want it. Ever. I don't even want to want it.

It's not a bad feeling. I'm happy as an aro. It just feels weird. And maybe a little lonely.

You know?

[altair-meadows]

happy (belated) aro visibility day!

love goes out to all my arospec siblings.

Found this Valentine Marauders Ships event on @a-bit-of-everyth1ng tumblr and honestly... Fave ships from 14th to 1st, let's go! 💖

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 | Day 8 | Day 9 ~Day 10.

05. Dorlene (Dorcas Meadowes x Marlene McKinnon)

They're my fave lesbians! I do really see them as Badass fem Dorcas x Grunge dork Marlene or something close to it. They're my idiots to lovers, and not necessarily enemies at first for me. They just have it bad for each other and they're completely, like really completely, oblivious.

pandora (no pronouns) ☆ luna (she/her)

"look what i made for you!"

pandora crouched down, looking at luna's sparkling eyes. the excitement and love for everything in this world radiating from the small child warmed pandora's heart. it couldn't fill the holes in it that loss had left, couldn't wipe away the grief pandora felt, but luna was the only person that could still reach pandora's heart, melt the ice-walls around it and put colourful plasters on the holes. pandora's heart would never completely heal but luna gave pandora a new purpose in pandora's life, she showed pandora all the little joys in life, see all the beauty and wonder again. luna reminded pandora of pandora's own childhood. pandora had been the same as her. now, luna helped pandora to find these lost parts of pandora's self again - and pandora would do everything to keep luna safe and protect her from any harm that could take these sparkles away from the child's soul.

"you are not looking!" luna complained.

with a warm smile on her face, pandora looked down to luna's outstretched small hands. a flower crown lay in them.

"it is beautiful." pandora said.

luna smiled, stretched and put it on her parent's head. "now you are flower royalty!" she said giggling.

pandora chuckled and stroked the hair behind luna's ear. "i'll make you one too and we can have a royal flower dance in the meadow together." pandora promised, started picking flowers and weaving them together while luna jumped and danced around pandora in excitement.

while the sun set, two figures with flowercrowns on their heads could be seen dancing in the meadow next to the lake. the golden and later red light surrounding them would have truly made anyone, who could've seen them, believe they were fairy royalty. when the sun dipped into the lake and disappeared, they lit a bonfire and in the blue hour continued dancing and singing around it until the eyes of the small one flattered close whilst being held against her parent's chest. pandora stayed there for a while, breathing in the cold air and watching the stars appear in the dark. when the fire burned down and the cold crept up pandora's skin, pandora splashed it out and carried luna back inside the cabin. this place had become pandora's home, luna was pandora's family. pandora had made an own little world here, a world filled with joy, love and small adventures. may it last.

Valentines Marauders Ship Event 2026 (made by @a-bit-of-everyth1ng )

Day Three: Florence x Septima (!!). Also known as Flortima or futurebloom. Recency bias, I love their relationship and the azurites friend group (created by @marriedtonarcissablack ) I love the dark brown hair x dyed hair color duo trope.

──────────୨ৎ──────────

★ As a lot of people here on the fandom, I hc Florence as a Greengrass but she's a Ravenclaw.

★ Also Septima is a Hufflepuff bc we need more Hufflepuff rep and smart people outside of Ravenclaw.

★ Sometimes I hc them to be one year older than the Marauders but commonly I hc them as one younger.

★ Septima is only child. While Florence has an older brother (1959), a twin sister named Camelia (1961) and a younger sister [that I don't have a name for her] (1969).

★ Both are pureblood but their families have different lifes. Septima lives with her mother a common life. Florence's father is part of the British Ministry of Magic and has an important place on it. The Greengrass family is not part neither support the Death Eaters (like the Crouch family)

★ They both meet on their first Potions class in first year. They were Potions partners and it was like yaps (Septima) and listen (Florence)

★ Florence looks like a princess, she has the manners, she was taught to not laugh or talk. She knows sewing, crocheting, baking and more "femenine tasks". Septima was surprised when she heard Florence's first laugh (even if it was too sweet and regal)

★ Septima was fascinated with crystals, she sells crystals and tell the meaning of them if you pay her. Septima's first gift to Florence was a rose quartz bracelet; the self love crystal. Florence always wore it and after years she learned to love herself.

★ Florence taught Septima to bake some muffins and Septima almost burnt Hogwarts Kitchen the first time.
