Marauder's Era sideblog. Basically any Marauders interpretations that aren't "straight white boys being tossers". Peter Pettigrew was not born evil. That is all.

I just imagined Sirius being called out to sorting and the hat getting ready to shout SLYTHERIN! almost before even touching one of Sirius’ hair - just like it has done for every Black and Malfoy for centuries- and then suddenly all he hears is this eleven year old thinking “Don’t you fucking dare”

Euphemia and Fleamont’s cats have never been very fond of James because of how… energetic he was as a kid, however, once he moved out they suddenly seemed to have missed him 🐱💕

JKR does not deserve power over your fandom experience.

Fandom is made by us, by readers and creators, fans and friends. We built it.

When given bricks to build a home, one does not care about the beliefs of the manufacturer. She may have made the bricks, but we built our home.

We cannot responsibly divorce the author from the story, but we can make it damn clear who owns it.

anyways, fuck jk rowling

[susiephone]

god every day, daniel radcliffe gives me a new reason to love him. he just put joke karen rowling on blast for her shitty-ass terf beliefs.

[muirin007]

JK Rowling is being terf-y and awful on Twitter again, so I just want to remind everyone of a few things:

1. Death of the Author is a beautiful, beautiful thing. You can still love the world she created (I do), and can still draw hope and inspiration from it (I do), while acknowledging that she is acting terribly. 

2. Trans rights are human rights. Trans HP friends: you matter, you are worthy, you are loved, you are wanted. I am your mom now. I am the Lord of Hogwarts now. Everyone gets free matching pajamas. Slumber party in the Great Hall, happy Pride month, I love you.

[truelahey]

Just so we’re clear: this blog does not support JKR or her transphobic and disrespectful tweets/thoughts. The wizarding world and the Potter fandom are for all people, as is the real world. Trans folks and everyone under the queer umbrella are valid, you exist, and I see you and respect you. JKR is not the be-all-end-all of the wizarding universe. You belong in this fandom more than she does.

A little writing is better than no writing!!! I can’t stress this enough!! ANY WRITING IS BETTER THAN NO WRITING!!!!! 

you’re all writers, whether you write 5,000 words in a day or 50.

Do you remember the overwhelming confusion and rage you felt when Joanne Kathleen Rowling decided to try and convince you Tonks and Lupin were in heterosexual love

[smallwelshmonastery-deactivated]

Literally they both panicked bc of the retraumatising effects of the death eater resurgence and got lavender-married out of fear of social deviancy, following which they lived like roommates by mutual unspoken agreement. Teddy was the result of an extremely grim one-off when they were both overwhelmingly lonely and scared and they would have very amicably divorced and co-parented him with their respective same sex partners but they got murdered by wizard Nazis before they got the chance. Teddy has a slightly pretentious memoir about the whole thing where he uses his metamorphmagus status as a metaphor for both inherited trauma and the gay gene

it did not escape our notice that out of all the wizards in the world to rebound from sirius black on, remus lupin picked the one who was 1) sirius black’s cousin and 2) could change their appearance at will

(regardless of any other  opinions on JKR’s writing, she was so goddamn bad  at writing romance, she wrote better romances in every one of her friendships than a single one of her actual romances, and then got confused that readers weren’t invested in the Correct romantic pairings)

Okay, so I’m going to get something off my chest. I’ve been seeing a lot of posts comparing Harry Potter fans and Percy Jackson fans. How the PJ fans are all happy they’re getting a TV show and how us poor HP fans are getting nothing. 

You know what? Personally speaking, I’d rather have nothing when you consider that the last good thing Rowling wrote was back in 2007 related to Harry Potter. Most of the media that’s come out since then was an embarrassment. I didn’t mind the first Fantastic Beasts (I wouldn’t say it was good. Some interesting ideas and characters though) but the second one was hot garbage. Cursed Child we’ve all collectively decided can go die in a ditch. Everything she expanded on in Pottermore was a joke. 

I know I might be in the minority here but I don’t want a Marauders TV show or movie or book. I don’t want to see bastardized versions of the characters I love. I don’t want to see her give James Potter absolutely no character development (because all along she was rooting for Snape) and have him still get Lily anyway. I don’t want to see a heterosexual Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. I don’t want to get my hopes up that she’s actually going to finally involve Regulus Black in a story just to have her sideline him for Snape. 

At this point, my love for Harry Potter exists almost solely in the fandom. So to be completely candid - don’t want it, don’t need it, and I have no interest in giving Joanne anymore of my money. They make it sound like us HP fans are somehow losing but I considering Joanne staying the fuck away as us winning.
