No, I don’t care if it’s “just the overture” or “only the orchestra.” I don’t care if there’s no one technically onstage yet. Put your phones away and stop talking. The show has started.

our spiritually elevated rejection of canon vs their intellectually dishonest refusal to engage with the text

[hogoflight]

okok still a little bummed Rick Riordan wanted to make Rachel Dare a wild eccentric rich artist and made her work exclusively with paint for paintings (DON’T GET ME WRONG I WOULD NEVER KNOCK PAINT MY BELOVED I love paintings & how crazy you can get with paintings but it’s still a big restriction). Come now we’ve got contemporary art to work with!! It works well with more of the whole interpretive prophecy stuff & the ‘your agency & the way you view prophecy is your own’ thing Apollo goes into at some point!

contemporary artist Rachel! We enter her studio and she’s standing knee deep in a handmade stag corpse trying to stick a smoke detector in it! She’s got jars labelled ‘weevil glass’ & ‘Jupiter shavings’ or something! She’s got 5 stolen road signs in the corner! Unfinished (or is it?) giant egg made of leather & bone hanging from the ceiling! Ominous perfectly blue-green cube (LOTS of arguments about its colour)! She’s got scissors stabbed halfway through her table & taped it in place! She’s clearly made maquettes of it in various materials! She’s making a bra out of rusted nails and armour out of lingerie! She’s stabbing a radio! She’s got a scrap pile of frosted mirrors in a box! endless stuff to work with. endless possibilities. She gets a prophetic vision for someone and hands them a Celtic cross lined with beads. Whatever that means to them & to the fates apparently. Apollo is endlessly enthused & enthralled.

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

[ayeforscotland]

Context.

[what-are-fish]

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x

Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x

We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x

It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.

And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.

This is where that Harry Potter money goes.

[anniedreamwilldo]

I fear that anyone who says stuff like “ugh atyd is awful because Remus is so ooc and Sirius is a misogynist and wolfstar are so toxic in it” not only a) has terrible fandom etiquette but b) MISSED THE WHOLE POINT

Atyd is not a story about Remus Lupin

Atyd is not a story about Wolfstar

Atyd is not a story about the First Wizarding War

Atyd is a story about class and privilege. Atyd is a story about queerness and comphet. Atyd is a story about disability. Atyd is a story about the intersectionality of class, privilege, queerness and disability. Atyd is a story about growing up and learning how to be a person. Atyd is a story about morality, sometimes being a ‘bad person’ and what this even means. Atyd is about war and grief and societal circumstances forcing your hand. Atyd is a story about emotionally driven decisions and how they affect the people we love. On that note, Atyd is a story about love, but in all its beautifully complex and messy shades, not fairytale romance.

All The Young Dudes is one of the most layered and nuanced works of fiction to ever exist and 99.9999% of criticisms I see of it can be boiled down to “tell me you lack media literacy without telling me you lack media literacy”

Also again, for the love of Remus Lupin, please please PLEASE stop publicly slating fanfictions. Everyone has personal taste and you won’t enjoy everything you read, but fics aren’t published works that have invited critique. They’ve been provided to you for FREE by a fellow nerd in the community so keep any negative thoughts you have on fics to your self.

I’m not saying everyone has to enjoy Atyd or that people can’t think that Remus is OOC etc. BUT the fic is not bad because it’s not to your personal taste and like I said, the overwhelming justifications I see for why people think it’s bad seem to entirely miss the point/ the fact that some of these choices are absolutely intentional from the author. Like, of course Sirius makes objectifying comments about Mary… he’s a teenage boy in the 1970s who is massively overcompensating to cover his queerness. A huge part of his character arc is comphet???

“We want complicated characters!” people scream until they see a seventeen year old kid on the precipice of fighting in a war for a society that has shunned him for his disability be moody and mean to his boyfriend

Anyway enough of me rambling. Long story short, I’m an ATYD defender until I die

Muchos love n wolfstar xo

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

[apocalypse-angel]

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.

[typicallyexceptional]

There's people in the notes saying they're going to watch it anyway, and you know, I understand how you can start feeling so burned out and numb from the world that it may feel too hard to avoid things that will give you a little immediate relief in some way in order to avoid the long-term impact of funding these things.

But. If you can't bring yourself to avoid watching it, you better at least fucking pirate it.

[lord-armitage]

FYI, Rowling posted this today. She is actively queerphobic, do not support this project in anyway.

[justonepurpose]

I know that this was a foundational thing for so many people. I was one of them. Without Harry Potter, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today.

If you're thinking about watching this anyway because you feel all that nostalgia: It's time to grow up. It's time to move on.

Don't even hate watch it. Make it fail.

It is the easiest thing ever to simply not do anything.

[sflow-er]

Adding this article about the intersection between hatred for ace and trans people that my friend linked to another post:

Acephobic conspiracy theories have transphobic and fascist roots

As asexuality receives more recognition as a queer identity, it also becomes a bigger target for fearmongering and fascist conspiracy theori

The OG cast's vocal support for the trans community is why Joanne wants them replaced, but it's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to her bigotry. There's a much larger queerphobic and yes, even fascist context behind it. Which should alarm anyone in the current state of the world.

Don't support the new show. Just don't. Don't hate-watch it, and don't help it trend on social media. Don't be complicit.
