I honestly have no idea what's happening on tumblr, and I'm too afraid to ask.
Apparently, if i understand it, apple, the company, is making a tumblr ban of a list of words for their ios. So this will impact apple users specifically, not android/etc. At least not directly. It has a bunch of words that range from innocuous to fandom-important to outright censorship of anti-bigotry dicussions, outreach, activism, and people who need tags for mental health reasons, etc. So people are upset.
Someone made a list of the words here
There are multiple ideas running around on why they're doing this, and ones I've heard include
1. They're oppressing leftists and minorities/women.
2. They want everything to be inoffensive and 'squeaky clean' for profitability.
3. They made a system for banning words based on what gets blocked by users.
4. Tumblr told apple to.
5. It's not a big deal y'all, calm down.
6. Etc.
Etc. I cant really make a comprehensive list on that.
Some apple users are trying to circumvent this by modifying the words or using codes. Some are considering ditching apple and some aren't. As a non apple-user i don't know too much about it in general.
Sorry when i reblog posts it doesnt show up in the reply thread.
Kinda been stewing in anger and hurt all of yesterday, about the past events this xmas and thanksgiving, so i wanted to know why i couldn't stop feeling so negative. This was helpful cuz i happened to find a term that expresses what I was pushed into.
The scapegoat. In a dysfunctional family, describes the role of the one that gets the treatment I did, and it explains why I reacted the way I did. Anger, Rebellion, resentment, feeling shoved down and uncared about.
I thought I was going crazy but like, apparently this is really common.
I do feel a lot less angry now, because now I realize this isn't universal, what i went through wasn't okay, and more importantly outside of that abuse, there are people who will not treat me abusively. But I also have to come to terms with the fact that it was abusive. In order to understand what happened so to stop being angry and hurt and scared. For other people sake as much as for mine.
Regardless, I'm still feeling a lot of self-hate. Criticizing anything I do. Just like he was doing to me.
I'm sad that I let my hopes go up, that I would have a good dad this time around and it was a really nice feeling but now, I'm really traumatized. Or maybe I'm in shock.
At least I'm not a monster.
I just need to not be in such an unhealthy dynamic.
It's going to take awhile for me to feel self-acceptance. But I'm not going back to that horrible person.
The big question now, is if he was so ready to be that awful to me, then how does he treat my mother when I'm not around? I saw some stuff that was a little red flag feeling, but I don't know anywhere near the full extent of it without being in that situation. And my mom's deserves the f****** best.
You hurt her, dad? You don't even want to see what kind of fighter I could be to protect the people who deserve it, the people I care about.
Mom? If he hurts you, there's only so much I know and can do. You got to have some self-care in that case. I know you said it doesn't come to physical abuse, but emotional abuse is still damage amd it isn't okay. I need you to help yourself. In ways where I can't. I'm worried about her. But I also have to understand that I can only do so much.
The best thing I can do is Live Well
I used to want to be a mathematician. I'm good at it and i like explaining it too. So when it came time to consider going to college, both of my considered majors were math related.
Never went to college.
I never really wanted to get into music. Not as anything more than an occasional hobby. But it's the thing i come back to when I'm upset. And I'm good at entertaining people and all the songs have meaning and flow. But i throw them into my box of things i dont look at because being honest makes me uncomfortable due to self hate.
Regardless, I know the things that everybody would miss if I somehow never saw them again, if I ran away or something, would be the music that I've made.
I never wanted to be an artist. It was forced on me by the sheer nature of life being so hard on me and me having no outlet. An artist that was made and molded and not born.
What am i going to do?
I'm going to make art that says what society only allows me to express if it rhymes together. And when i do that, as soon as that scene is over, it's back to that little empty place called life that rejects the things that make me feel like i actually have a real personality and not something fake for their judging eyes.
I'm only me when i have a microphone.
Other than that, I'm that shell filled with lies.
They can't handle the real me. But I'm done faking.
I sat on my bed singing about it. And now that the song is over, I'm zoning out. I'm alone. Just the way i want it.
You know what, I'm having an extreme mental breakdown so whatever im a piece of shit but honestly fuck allistic people. Everyone. Even my family. Especially my family. Fuck all of you. Eat pie and cry.
Because it's always a game. People will treat you like shit and expect you to know how to react and to not care but if you can't play the game, you can't win. You're the loser, the mentally ill one, the bad guy. You try to explain but it never helps. And im losing myself. I don't have the patience to deal with them. I wanna run away into a forest and not be around people.
So i can't be in this new family. Any family. I always fuck up.
So here i am, going back to the slums.
I let my hopes go up so high but fuck me.

the jkr tweet in question here
is what people are mad about. and they have a right to be, no arguing that.
i'm mad about it.
but some people may not quite understand.
she's talking about this article here (you can either use a paywall blocker or use archive.today to read it)
i'm not a trans person, so i can't go into detail about how transphobic this is. but you can clearly see this post is sarcastic.
weird she mentions ignorance in the most ignorant and transphobic tweet ever, but.
not only does this tweet almost imply that women can't be sexual predators, but it obviously is trying to say trans women are not women.
i'm gonna say it here.
trans women are women.
trans men are men.
i don't care if they've committed a crime. respect people's fucking gender.
shut the fuck up, you entitled bigot.
Starting with the serious part, why is it when some cis people in society have an obsession with trans people... being trans, it's not called out as the bizarre behavior it is, but when i just wanna be called a man (am a trans man) and called Seth, suddenly I'm somehow hurting people. (Bonus points for trans women, who in addition have to put up with some rank misogyny loosely veiled as feminism)
I didn't end that with a question mark because it's not question. I'm just judging society's priorities.
But anyway,
By her own logic, trans men that r*pe are women. But of course terfs only concern troll about this sort of issue because of an obsessive need to pathologize women, so logic doesn't matter to them. They apparently think all afab people are incapable of doing anything outside of 'innocent damsel' fem-model programming...
listen, anything j.k rowling said about hp after she published book seven is like
headcanon at best imo
'word of god' my ass
death of the author.
Another thing is that jkr has said things that explicitly disagree with her own canon sometimes and when an author does that, the actual proof in the series tends to be a better choice of choicing what is canon.
I dont think jkr's mindset is the same as when harry potter was written and it just doesn't work, adding more detail that doesn't really... mesh. she seems to wish she could go back and change the story. Thats fine but its not what the fandom read.
Also as a bigot, yeah i don't want to interact with the writer and give the benefit of authority over extracanon content... (If thats the right word). It's not a continued support of jkr, it's a hijack. Our fandom now
I just wish that jkr could stop talking stop having a platform and hurting trans people even more that what's already been done. And to stop egging on for the terfs using hp as an anti trans crusade
Man, Marauder stans must hate the Marauders deep down if they have to water them down to the point of them being completely unrecognisable just to appreciate them.
One time I complained about a fanfic i came across being so ooc and InSnapesCorner just said to me, "wow they really wish their marauders were snape" and that really stuck with me.
I agree with them and ever since have looked at the ooc and fanon around the Marauders and all i can say is
Wow, they really want the Marauders to be Snape.
Well, Snape is very interesting, and rather tragic, and rather heroic in his own way. That's why he's my fave.
But they wanna make the Marauders a lot of things they aren't.
Bullied. Abused. Poor. Gender nonconforming and allying sometimes. Lily's friend, and not just sexual harassers or enemies at most of the time. Non-purebloods. Intelligent. Good at potions. Romantic. Helpful in the fight against Voldemort.
Things Snape happens to be.
And to add more commentary which i separated from the 1st reblog cuz i get why some would not wanna look at part 2 which is a bit pro marauder (by me, of all people!) Anyway ...
Still, it's funny because the more i think about it lately the more i actually find the marauders as interesting characters specifically because of their flaws. Lupin is a coward and it makes him vulnerable and relatable. Sirius is an outcasted likely traumatized and mentally unwell person with possible dependancy issues and has reason why everything is so emotional and high stakes for him ever since childhood. Peter is less well known but as the eventual betrayer of the group and always kinda the black sheep in that group i talk about him sometimes irl. James is quite a case for analysis and there's a reason i talk about him more than any marauder. The least sympathetic motivations, the most control, but maybe the most impactful.
And the marauders together are like a snover recently said, a sorta hierarchical seeming, but dysfunctional group of 'friends'... They're just interesting from an analtyical point. How they impact Snape and Lily and Harry and the Death Eaters etc is also really important to how this hp series got started, and why certain characters and certain points do what they do. ...
I kinda wish fandom stuff would look at them as the messed up fascinating people i see but I'm scared to even read fanfics with them or look at their tags on tumblr because of ooc characterization, snape bashing, and tbh shipping since i have pretty strong romance repulsion (and I'm arospec here).

fascinated by the kind of people who actually wear pyjamas to sleep
okay let’s do this tag your sun/moon and what you wear to sleep
#i’m a double virgo and i wear actual pyjamas or i cannot sleep of course
Moon, libra. I wear my regular day clothes to sleep. like the jeans and button up shirt and everything, don’t wanna seem unprofessional in my sleep.
I don’t know what the “sun” or “moon” part means, but I’m a Scorpio and I sleep in underpants and that’s it.
You’d need to know your timezone you were born in and your time of birth (hour/minute) but if you figure that out then you can look up a calculator on the internet for it. It’s a zodiac sign but not your main zodiac sign, which is your sun sign (what time of the year you’re born under) aka a Scorpio like me
Ok so for me …
Scorpio/Cancer for Sun/Moon signs (if mom’s right about when i was born).
A tank top or short sleeve shirt and either commando/underwear/shorts. I can’t handle wearing long-sleeve shirts or pants or wearing socks or gloves. My limbs do not like being covered by clothes, idk why. But I also can’t handle going to sleep without my big blanket covering my entire body like a scared turtle 🐢
sun&moon leo
literally whatever i happen to fall asleep in
i don’t exactly have a set pair of sleep clothes bc i’m trash
Double sign! Cool :)
I sometimes wish i could fall asleep in anything cuz im so finicky. It's how my autism affects me with sensory issues

taking a break from snape posting but
i definitely have noticed something about the marauders in hindsight.
james was the one thing holding them together. when he died, they all turned on each other and this is very telling to me.
now, even if sirius and remus did reconnect after 13 fucking years, that doesn't negate the point. remus was still prepared to believe the worst in sirius.
but why is this important?
well, take a minute to consider: james could have picked any gryffindors to be his friends when he first started school. so why did he choose three people that, given his behaviour, he probably would have bullied if they weren't friends?
sirius was an outcast who probably wouldn't have been welcome in slytherin or gryffindor because of his family.
remus was a nerdy weirdo.
and peter, well. it's obvious why he would have bullied peter (iirc, he kinda did in canon anyway?)
james is athletic, rich and conventionally attractive, he doesn't need to hang out with people like them. if he were a better person, this would be attributed to his kindness. but we know the depths of cruelty james is capable of going to.
the marauders were not so much a friendship as a hierarchy.
sirius was co-dependent levels of loyal to james. but would james have been as kind to sirius if he'd picked a different compartment on the train?
remus was still fairly loyal, but he was kind of critical of james later on, even if he excused it as kids being kids. but would james have kept remus' secret if they weren't friends?
and peter falls to the bottom of the heap because he idolized all three of his friends, not just james. they tolerated peter, but would james have given peter any grace if peter wasn't his friend?
when you look at it objectively, it becomes clear that james chose to befriend people who would more easily go along with his bullshit. people he wouldn't even have to threaten, but would still be somewhat anxious that if they didn't agree with him about everything, they'd become a victim.
and thereby, we come to snape.
i've posted before how i think snape was something of an obsession for james, an unhealthy fixation.
but i think i've figured out why.
snape wouldn't fall in line. snape would not be his lap dog. despite the fact that he was probably, in james' mind, a potential lackey.
and james decided to punish him for it.
This: Lately I have been thinking about the scene from the memories where they sit in the train (the soon to be Maurauders, Lily and Snape) and James asks them all what House they want to be in and all of the boys quickly agree with him that Gryffindor would be best and even Lily kind of agrees. And then there’s Snape, he’s the only one who doesn’t agree and even says he wants to be in Slytherin. Sirius has the strongest reaction to this and James supports him. The idea of the original post makes this make so much sense. This is the crucial moment. This is where James already kind of decided that he didn’t like Snape. This is where Snape first opposed him. Maybe if Snape said something different James wouldn’t have looked at him that critically.
awesome interpretation of the marauders and idk if the conclusion is true but either way it is some brain good to chew on.
and it's rather true that the marauders have an unequal power dynamic that would easily manifest into a dysfunctional dynamic like what you would see in abusive families, cults, toxic friendships, a bad work environment, excetera where the leader is kinda dealt with by the exploited parties in a coping/defensive manner.
Thank you for this interesting post
what if snape was all
'bottle fame and stopper death' in front of the slytherins and gryffindors to impress/intimidate them but when it came time to introduce himself to the ravenclaws and hufflepuffs he was like
'i'll teach you how not to get yourselves killed in here, anyway, open your books to page seven and take notes on proper potion brewing safety' and chilled out with a cup of tea.
💙 omg i love this 💛
forever mad snape and harry didnt got to the develop the father/son dynamic the half blood prince suggested
I get that that would take an inmense amount of healing and forgiveness from Harry and that Harry´s appearance kinda triggers Snape but damn, just put a bag with two holes on that boy´s head I DONT CARE
Now I'm just imagining Snape coming up to Harry all serious-like a fun little knit green/silver bag with eye holes, Harry expecting more of the same disrespect, but Snape just put the knit thing over his head and just gives the sweetest heartfelt message, then reverting seriousness and taking off the cap
And Harry just stunned silent like... Okay?... I appreciate it sir
