Atlantis, he/they, 19
Neurodivergent, queer & French
Matching pfp w/ my best friend !!
I have social anxiety and a busy life but it doesn't stop me from being a crazy little gremlin.
Requests are closed at the moment.
I'm sharing my pfp with my IRL best friend @arsuns-ramblings :]
Other people I've corrupted so far I mean beloved IRL friends: @bi0u @the-lil-jester @navygdraws @yolasthing @nostelou @veinxsq @thanatos-god-of-death @skull-falls @goartieldoodles @from-rzndom-import-me @x-is-not-found @oberon-aeris
I will block you on sight if you:
- Are transphobic, queerphobic, racist, antisemitic, sexist, ableist, fatphobic, or generally an intolerant bigot.
- Are a TERF/SWERF, radfem/radqueer, fascist, transID, or a pedo.
- Do not stand with Palestine.
- Use the R-slur. Or use any slur that you cannot actually "reclaim".
- Are an "anti-recovery blog", or interact/reblog from such blogs.
- Use or support the use of generative AI, in any way, shape or form.
- Participate in hate/harassment/stalking campaigns, against any individual, including creators of any media. When normal people don't like a person they block them and move on. Stop being a parasocial asshole.
- Spread misinformation, especially about mental health and disorders. I am a psychology student. I know when something is out-right made-up bullshit. I will not tolerate it here.
- Are a fan of anything JK Rowling has ever made. Even if you "don't support her financially", I don't care, get lost. If you're still reading the books, watching the shows, or being active in any fandom that stems from her universe, you're a disgrace.
- Make me feel unsafe, pressured, or just generally uncomfortable.
My stance on any internet discourse, ever, is that you're a petty teenager with too much screen time and you couldn't pay me to care. Literally everyone is welcome here no matter how weird they are, as long as they are respectful and aren't harmful to real people.
Who am I ?
My name is Atlantis, and my pronouns are he/they! I'm neither cis nor straight nor allo. I'm also an adult and French™️. I write fanfics and headcanons, and get obsessed with new blorbos and medias all the time.
I'm a chaotic gremlin with several issues. I'm also on my second year of a psychology degree!
Here I make headcanons, theory posts and original posts with your average levels of Tumblr bullshit. My blog is mostly random brain goop and ramblings.
Funny hahas to check
@lost-letters-from-atlantis is my side-blog for original writing!
@atlantis-in-nevermore is my OC roleplay blog for the Nevermore RP!!
My masterlist for headcanons and short stories!!
The infamous deer quiz (now with amazing art?!), I read all replies left on the last box, and if you left something in there I probably fell in love with you.
My (mostly inactive) AO3 account!

#bird's wisdom: One of my amazing friends sends me cool poems that you can all check with this tag ! So she has a proper tag in recognition for the great literature she brings to us :]
Interactions status ?
Unless specified otherwise, my askbox is opened for headcanons/short stories requests! I do both SFW and NSFW but will decline any request that makes me too uncomfortable.
Otherwise, you can always put something nice or silly in there and I'll be happy!! If you want to send me a message but can't/are scared to, just send me an ask to tell me so and I'll answer you! :]
My DMs are opened for mutuals! My only problem is I always think all of my moots want to hunt me for sport, so please do send me a message or an ask otherwise I'll just look at you from afar with fear and admiration in my eyes.
Please keep in mind that it takes time and energy for me to answer!
Eternally sad that I didn't get to find an opportunity to make my Nevermore RP oc/self-insert interact with a RP blog of Eulalie. I can't express how fucked up and complicated their interactions would have been. It's a fact in my heart that c!Atlantis has very complicated feelings towards Eulalie and that she makes him extremely uneasy just by being around him.
I think he wishes it could be as simple as to say he hates her guts, except it isn't because he also does not wish her harm and knows she did nothing wrong and that his uneasiness around her is a result of his own mind being kind of fucked up rather than anything she did. He hates what she represents to him and he also envy her for being the way she is. I think it startles him to realise they are both very similar on some things while being diametrically opposed on most things, and that he struggles to wrap his head around that concept.
All this to say he cannot stand her, and would probably lash out if someone called him out on it, and I would have loved to show that with more depth and explore the how and the why. Duke would probably be the closest canon character to understand him on that subject because I feel like they share kind of similar viewpoints on the matter, although Duke is much better at hiding it.
JKR has been openly transphobic since 2020, and in that time she has said and done many things that traditional newspapers were a bit frisky about reporting. So I thought it might be useful to compile some of those things, either for people who haven't been following the situation closely and want a recap (strap in...), or for those who are trying to explain to their peers why they're boycotting HP and need specific talking points and sources. (Though I would remind you that none of this will convince someone who's also transphobic.)
This list is for reference purposes. I am not here to argue and TERFs will be blocked on sight.
The beginning
JKR's transphobia started out slowly and got more open and aggressive as the years passed and she was spurred on by a favorable response. Those who aren't familiar with how transphobia operates might not think much of it, and later sections will be more compelling, but I still wanted to include this part for continuity's sake.
In 2018, JKR liked and then unliked a transphobic tweet. She claimed it was a mistake, that her representative qualified of "clumsy and middle-aged moment." (x)
In 2019, she spoke in defense of Maya Forstater, a tax expert whose contract hadn't been renewed because of her anti-trans views (x, x). People noted that Forstater had done much worse things than "stating sex is real," (a transphobic dogwhistle) and that JK's tweet was condescending at best and insulting at worse.
In 2020, she complained about and mocked the use of the phrase "people who menstruate" (used to include trans men and non-binary people in discussions of reproductive health) (x). She then doubled down in a thread that was meant to sound supportive while reiterating gender critical talking points, which she concluded by denying that people are discriminated against "on the basis of being trans."
Later in 2020, she wrote an essay about her "concerns" regarding trans people, where she pretends not to have any problems with trans people, while also coming in support of known anti-trans activists and infantilizing trans men, among other things (here is a good video analysis about it). This essay, like most of this section, is not representative of her current opinion on trans people.
Notable transphobic moments
In October 2023, in response to a discussion about making deliberate misgendering a criminal offense, JKR claimed she would "happily" go to jail if the alternative was correctly gendering a trans person. (x)
In the 2023 podcast The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling, she calls transgenderism "a powerful, insidious, misogynistic movement," and compares transgender activists to the death eaters, her fictional fascist group (x).
In March 2024, JKR denied that the Nazis burned trans research, calling the idea a "fever dream." When presented with sources on this well-documented event, she doubled down, moved the goalposts, then shared a thread claiming that trans people weren't targeted by the Nazis. (x, x) This caused the hashtag "JK Rowling is a holocaust denier" to trend (denying the persecution of a group targeted during the Holocaust is a form of Holocaust denial (x)). This was after she said doctors providing gender-affirming care to minors should be imprisoned (x).
In April 2024, JKR tested the limits of the Hate Crime and Public Order Act that had just gone into effect in Scotland, with gender identity as a protected category. She brought up and slandered ten trans women, mixing up public figures and convicts in an attempt to conflate the two, before concluding the thread by misgendering all of them and daring the police to arrest her. (x)
Rowling's novel Troubled Blood features a male serial killer who dresses as a woman to catch his victims, which is an old and harmful anti-trans representation (x). Her later book The Ink Black Heart follows a YouTube creator who is accused of being transphobic and racist, leading to a coordinated hate campaign from vicious social justice warriors and eventually to her murder (x). JK denied this had to do with her own experience (x). Very few people believed her.
JKR continuously supported the hate group For Women Scotland in their legal battle to restrain the legal definition of man and woman to "biological sex," which would exclude trans women from sex-based protections. (x) They had lost a previous case to the Scottish court, but with a donation of 70,000 pounds from Rowling (x), they were able to keep pushing until the UK Supreme Court passed the resolution in April 2025. This prompted the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention to publish a red flag alert on anti-trans and intersex rights in the UK, which mentions Rowling by name. She, meanwhile, tweeted this:
She frequently singles out and attacks specific trans public figures or trans allies, causing them to be harassed. We mostly hear about it when it involves someone famous (Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watson, David Tennant, Pedro Pascal, etc.) but it's especially appalling when she targets a random person who has absolutely nothing to do with her and was just living their life.
JKR isn't just bigoted; she's obsessed. At any given time, you can open her twitter page and scroll through several anti-trans tweets made in the past week (to the point where Elon Musk of all people told her to go touch grass). Her replies are, predictably, filled with her transphobic followers throwing around slurs and threats of violence, and not only does she never call them out (she used to block people who point it out to her) but she'll frequently encourage them, like here:
Monetary support
One of the biggest justifications of boycotting HP is that JKR has been using her royalties to support anti-trans organizations and campaign to restrain trans people's rights. Here are a few such cases.
She gave 70,000 pounds to For Women Scotland, an anti-trans organization, to fund their legal fees (as mentioned in the previous section) (x, x).
She has sued (or threatened to sue) for defamation many journalists who point out her misinformation and hate speech. (x) Notably, she forced Rivkah Brown, a Jewish journalist, to retract her claim for correctly pointing out her holocaust revisionism. (x)
She created, and will be funding, the "J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund," which supports cis women in legal battles concerning “women’s sex-based rights." (x) For example, she said she would support any woman being incarcerated with a trans woman (x). She had already been paying other transphobes' legal fees (she offered it to Kelly-Jay Keen, for example (x)) but this fund makes it official, widespread and a much bigger deal.
Last and perhaps most worrying, she's been a big donor for the Labour Party (x), which has led people to believe she might influence their politics. In 2024, they offered to meet her to discuss their gender transition policy (!), which she had "concerns" about (x). She agreed, with the condition that they meet several other organizations in-person first, including hate groups like Woman's Place UK and the LGB Alliance (x). Needless to say that a private, unqualified citizen having this level of influence is alarming and deeply undemocratic.
Those are some of the publicly known cases, and we can only imagine what kind of private donations she might be doing. Nadia Whittome, a member of the U.K.'s House of Commons, said that billionaires were funding transphobia in the UK, and named Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling (x).
Intersexism
During the 2024 summer Olympics, JKR participated in the online harassment of Imane Khelif, an Algerian gold-medalist boxer who had been rumored to be intersex and/or transvestigated after one of her opponents dropped out seconds into their match. Khelif filed a criminal cyber harassment complaint, which named JK Rowling and Elon Musk, among others (x). Despite this, JKR was still at it in March 2026 (x).
Later in 2024, Rowling attacked another cis woman, Zambian athlete Barbra Banda, after she won BBC's Women's Footballer of the Year (x). This was seemingly in response to a gender illegibility incident from a few years prior. Meghann Burke, the executive director of the National Women's Soccer League Players Association, came to her defense.
Acephobia
In 2025, JKR retweeted a post about International Asexuality Awareness Day, calling it "International Fake Oppression Day" and denying that asexuality is a real sexuality. She then proceeded to blame "gender activists" for that too. (x, x)
Relevant video essays & articles
I tried to keep this list relatively compact (lmao) while still giving enough details for everything to be clear, but if you want a more in-dept analysis, I would recommend these. The videos in particular are very informative about transphobia and bigotry in general.

This is, of course, far from everything, but it seemed like the main points regarding transphobia, intersexism and acephobia, which are the aspects I felt most qualified to cover. Feel free to add on if you have the source for it. Information regarding her racism, antisemitism and homophobia would be especially welcome.
It's kind of amazing how much this is the identical strategy. Focusing on the distress and harm of parents over the trans or autistic person themselves. Pathologizing the condition treating it as an epidemic, including calling it a social contagion causing a worrying "explosion" of diagnosis because it is "trendy."
Ignoring the experts on the subject while also appealing to "common sense" and dismissing all research that contradicts them while also appealing to "basic science."
Plus it's all the same quacks and actors behind previous medical and social moral panics saying them same things in the same ways and no one seems to acknowledge that.
she says in the article that she was inspired to think this way about autism after she started reporting on detransitioners. Her Twitter mentions are filled with prominent voices in the detrans terf movement. This isn't just similar, It is quite self-consciously an extension of the same movement.
Once you’ve been out of the closet for a while and are surrounded by people who are at the very least neutral and respectful about the trans thing it just becomes a whatever part of your life and all these people claiming that you’re ruining society and passing laws against you kinda feels like a swat team storming into your house while you’re just eating spaghetti.
hi did you know that trans christians spend their entire lives in faiths that try and convince them that on a cosmical level they should hate themselves and for them this would be emotionally fufilling? hi did you know that kansas is over 70% christian? hi did you know that just because you think atheism is the correct and the only thing that deserves respect that doesn’t mean that this isn’t incredibly impactful and meaningful for many people?
reblogging this again to bring up that when my grandma said she didn’t understand trans people, and why would they betray the body God gave them, it would have been 0 help to explain to her all the biological and cultural and societal components to the existence of the concept of gender and trans people. You know what did make her pause and reconsider her stance? “Did you ever think that maybe God made trans people on purpose?” And we got to have a conversation about all the interesting things God has made so why wouldn’t God make trans people? And she came out of the conversation with more grace and understanding.
Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.
That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.
"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.
This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.

Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.
I’ve never seen a kid struggle with the concepts of someone being gay, trans, or nonbinary.
I did once have to explain to an almost 3 year old why a chihuahua wasn’t a cat and let me tell you THAT was a struggle and the kid was very mad about it.
This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks.
Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people. I'm sorry, but it's true.
Equivocate all you like, but it's as true as the day is long.
actually you know what from now on if i see that your intro post or anything on your blog says you’re a marauders or a harry potter fan i can and will block you happily. i don’t care that you’re queer that you’re a pjo fan you’re an owl house fan you’re a she ra fan whatever the hell else you are. you’re also keeping jkr and her bullshit creations relevant and i don’t want to interact with a person like that. this is a psa
Sorry to derail but stop putting your HP fan works in the anti/fuck JKR tags. Stop putting HP fan works in the trans/trans rights tag. It's annoying and it doesn't make you less of a Harry Potter fan to type a couple words on tumblr dot com
If you care, pls support trans and lgbt authers instead!
If you dont know where to look, I highly recomend the master's quest series, the master's quest series is a fantacy series thats written by a transgender author!
Imagine youre a closeted pre-hrt trans girl who goes to eat at Tonios restaurant in the Jojo universe, and after taking a few sips of the best soup youve ever had you just grow d-cups and the owner of the restaurants like "heres the meat for your meat"
roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck.
anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that
the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people
this ! they're dead, meanwhile Harry Potter is literally a fundraising project to fund anti trans legislation & lawsuits in (at minimum) the UK that are actively endangering us right. now. !!!
not to mention the groups involved are also often pushing censorship laws (across multiple countries, UK OSA, US KOSA, the reason payment processors got a bunch of LGBTQ+ games classed as 18+ on itch.io it's all the same few, usually US Evangelical, groups doing this stuff), anti abortion laws etc etc. None of this is happening individually.
That's why it's so important to not financially engage w/anything JKR makes money from.
If you wouldn't donate to Sex Matters or the ADF (possibly similar sounding dif group that stands for the same shit, trying to be accurate but I don't think I know the right places to look for this info, but basically an Evangelical US group involved in pushing for the current UK ECHR guidance that actively endangers trans people's lives & is meant to segregate those of us who do not appear & move through life closeted as a cisgender person of our birth sex) that should mean you wouldn't pay for or promote paying for anything in the HP IP
