okay think about how amazing GoF would have been if jkr had said that harry was bi

harry still would have had a crush on cho, but he’d be even more confused about how he felt cause he would kinda maybe sorta feel kinda weird around cedric too?? (he wouldn’t think about it much tho)

he’d watch a durmstrang boy ask a beauxbatons girl to the dance and he’d be jealous but then he’d think about it and he’d realize he’s not sure which person he’s jealous of???

okay but when cedric said that thing to harry about a bath in the prefects bathroom think about how awkward and hilarious that would have been before harry realized he meant the egg

harry hearing the way ron describes his crush on fleur and the way hes attracted to her cause of the veela thing and harry would be like ‘shit that’s kinda how I feel about krum?? what does this mean??¿’

(and we all know how unobservant harry could be so odds are he wouldn’t even notice until one day ron made some stupid remark about hermione loving how muscle-y krum is and harry just goes “well can you blame her”)

after cho turned him down to go to the yule ball because she was going with cedric harry felt twice as heart broken

he’d talk to sirius about it and of course he’d be like ‘yeah idk what to tell you everyones hot’

hermione would pick up on it immediately cause she’s hermione and she’d probably try and pry kindly like “so harry… is there anyone else you wanna ask to the ball??…. anyone at all???….. anyone you’re at all attracted to????????”

harry would try and be discreet but cmon they both know whats going on

hermione would be supportive and try and find information for harry (”you could be bi or pan or poly or-” “hermione, i don’t know what all those words mean” “wow. okay so bi is-” etc etc)

bi harry is perfect and needs to be discussed more

When I explain cultural misappropriation to children, I use the example of The Nightmare Before Christmas.  

It’s effective because especially for children, who don’t have enough historical context to understand much of the concept, you can still fully grasp the idea.  

There was nothing wrong with Jack seeing the beauty and differences in Christmas town, it’s when he tried to take what is unique about Christmas town away from those it originally belonged to without understanding the full context of Christmas things is when everything went wrong.

When Jack tries to get the folk of Halloween town to make Christmas gifts for children, etc., children understand that the Halloween town folk do not have the full context for the objects they are making, and they are able to see that the direct repercussions and consequences are very harmful.

[jumpingjacktrash]

what i like about this is the implication that if jack had taken the time to understand christmas town, bringing christmas to halloween town would not have been harmful. that’s how it works, folks. cultural sharing is GOOD, it’s only misappropriation when it’s done in ignorance and disrespect.

[kelseyridge13]

There’s an interesting level here in that Jack tried to understand Christmas town. He could see the magic while he was there, and he did try to explain it that way to citizens of Halloween town.  But they weren’t interested in the kind of life he was describing, so he started “rebranding” Christmas so that it was not like Christmas but was like Halloween. The people of Halloween town, never having actually encountered Christmas, have no way of knowing that what they’re being told about Christmas and “Sandy Claws” is inaccurate. Jack also tried to study Christmas and its culture, though he couldn’t quite get it; eventually, he literally decides to take it for himself, even as he knows it’s not really for him.  He started out feeling sad the others in Halloween town didn’t ‘get it,’ but he then decided it’s not important to fully ‘get it’ but instead to have it.

So it’s not just accidentally removing things form their context; he has intentionally disregard the meaning of the rituals he purports to be recreating, making them more fun for the recreaters but not like what the rituals are supposed to be and without the related significance.

[calamitycons]

This is the best way to conceptualize the wrong way to share culture I have ever seen and I think I finally get where people are coming from when they talk about “cultural appropriation.”
