some lil headcanons because im bored🐺

-if arthur or someone else brings back bad meat, sean gets toothache while eating the stew. he doesnt make it obvious on purpose, but the way his eyes brim with frustrated tears as he holds his cheek and throws his stew to the side makes it quite hard to hide.

-lenny has absolutely no awareness for other people when it comes to stretching. more than once he has stretched and accidentally half-punched someone in the face. he stretched his arms out near sean and the silly irishman thought he was putting his arm around him and fully leant in. lenny did not correct him.

-dutch is the only one in camp who likes those records. for everyone else theyre an absolute mood ruiner and they cannot be happy until theyre turned off. he, similarly, absolutely cannot stand sean’s jawharp.

-sean lost his front tooth as a kid, completely his fault. he got told multiple times to calm down by his da and stop running around, but sean being sean he didnt, ran straight headfirst into their table and knocked his tooth out. scream-cried, would not calm down, was yelled at but also held.

-if mary-beth doesnt like the ending of a book, she will just write her own ending. maybe add her own characters. she is yet to realise this is, in fact, fanfiction.

-molly comes up with the most stupid insults during a fight. once called dutch a soggy milk bottle. why? she doesnt know. no one knows.

-1907 jack could talk mega shit about anyone if someone let him.

-1899 jack loves insects. he loves to bring worms for bait for pearson, or snails to stick on john. sometimes he brings arthur butterflies to draw. he brought dutch, who was in a tent, a slug once and was confused on why he freaked out and demanded he “get it off the rug right now”

-hosea snores like crazy. makes bill and lenny (who have their bedrolls next to him) want to tear their own eardrums out. while the other members hate it, it doesnt stop them sitting upright immediately and panicking slightly when they hear him pause for too long

-lenny would love board games, but, inspired by another post i saw, would get extremely bossy and frustrated when people wouldn’t play right. takes it extremely seriously and is a sore loser to add onto it. cannot stand people who dont play right. playing half-heartedly? fuck off. your out. go away. go. quit halfway through due to the fact hes made it boring? get the hell out of his sight. he will NEVER forget this. cheating? fetch the guillotine. your beheaded.

-tilly is so blunt in showing shes not interested when someone flirts with her, and she knows it. she will literally stare them dead in the eyes and go “ew”, maybe with a facial expression to match.

-kieran used to have a lisp.

ur death of the author post reminds me of a recent headline i saw about a tiktoker stripping jkrs cover from the title cover and reselling the books for $1000+ with new covers which - that can technically be legal But its just kinda hysterical to me bc. the persons whole point was “now u can read hp wo engaging w jkr” which to me is just… not how that works? the whole thing feels performative and not exactly insulting to jkr if thats what u were going for since ur,,, literally paying a grand just to read her books wo her name on it

on another note, i really liked how you said “if we adhere to death of the author, then wolfstar as a couple is not any less real or valid than any other reading, because what matters is that readers are picking up on homoerotic subtext and drawing meaning from it--whether it was included intentionally or not” very well put! honestly i remember a time in older hp days where people were so convinced of wolfstar being “real” that it was practically canon we all thought she was trying sooo hard to hint to us that theyre a couple wo getting into trouble w her publishing agency or smthn lmfaodjfjkshhjdjsh

oh god yeah that's....well look no hate to that person because i think bookbinding is a very impressive skill and well worth fair compensation for the time and effort. and if someone has $1000+ and that's what they want to spend it on. well. i mean. well. i mean buying the books in the first place is still putting some money into jkr's pockets isn't it. unless these books are all old donated or resold copies or something?? like if people are sending in their own hp books??

but yeah um. that seems a little silly to me. as i said in my little jkr death of the author post i simply do not think there is any engaging with harry potter in which that woman can just be completely stripped away. i do think it's possible to engage without giving her any money and while keeping everything outside the profit economy, which personally is the only way i think hp should be engaged with at this point. but her influence is still very much steeped within the pages and as i said in my post i think it's important to acknowledge where these books are coming from so that we can be mindful of the biases that permeate the story.

anyway! to ur point about wolfstar--that's super interesting! i was still a young kid while the hp books were being published, so i was not at all involved in the fandom at that point and i find it really interesting to hear about the history and what it was like when the series was first coming out. i definitely understand the urge to want like...some validity coming from the creator of a story, and i've experienced firsthand how it can be meaningful to have creators come out and say "yeah that's not just subtext," but at the end of the day whether or not the person writing a story intends to imbue the text with certain meanings does not make the meanings readers draw from it any more or less real, imo! like sorry but regardless of whatever jkr was trying to do...those men are gay. always have been always will be <3
