#and sorry for the angry rant
Text
It is funny to me how Harry Potter is literally the main character, yet people tend to go like he didn't suffer that much or he wasn't "abused"; Like, how can one misunderstand the literal main character of the damn franchise?
He wasn't abused; yes okay. He absolutely did not grow up inside a cupboard; the tiny place that is mostly reserved for brooms or cleaning supply. He absolutely was not treated inferior to the other child who lived in the same house. He was totally was not treated like a "freak" or a "stain" that his family was ashamed off. He grew up inside a cupboard while there was a literal unused bed in the same house. And you want to know what that screamed to a child, a baby — who slept inside a cupboard while there being a perfectly usable room right there? You are worth nothing and we don't love you and we are ashamed of what you are.
He wasn't starved, or at least he was fed; Yeah, no. We see it from the first book. How Vernon was no food for you and in the cupboard you go — and by the looks of it, that was like his most common punishment. And then, in the second book — you practically see it happen. He was locked, inside a room with only a can of soup that he shared with Hedwig. Now, tell me what it would do to a child — to be given food through a cat flap, and fun fact? Harry got to eat less than people on war rations; in short? He was starved, yes.
He wasn't abused physically so it's not abuse; As for people's thinks abuse isn't abuse until it's physical (which is inherently wrong because abuse isn't only physically, fyi); Harry has learned to dodge Vernon and he states that, very proudly when his uncle tries to grab him. He dodges a flying pan and states that fact, again very proudly as if it is the norm; do you know how heavy pans are? And do you know what would happen when one hits you? If you want an even clearer proof; Vernon Dursley strangles Harry in Ootp. There you go. Also, in the first book, we clearly see Vernon encouraging Dudley to hit Harry. Read between the lines and actually try to understand what that signifies.
And favourite part; When he wasn't treated like a prisoner, or a freak— he was their servant. And that is very much canonical. Tending Petunia's garden during summers and drinking from the water hose in the garden because of how hot it was? Having to wake up early so he can tend the kitchen and when he wasn't doing all that he is locked away. And it is all canon.
In conclusion, Harry— not only grew up to think that he was inhumane, undeserving of love, a freak that didn't even get to have his own bed because someone like him didn't deserve it, physically harmed enough times that he dodges them out of reflex and also the Dursleys' glorified servant; that is not even taking into account what Harry went through in Hogwarts. And after all that if someone tells me; this child, right here — didn't go through much then well, maybe read the books again?

I love writing, but these days I swear to God I wake up every morning to another rude ask, someone rewriting my story in the literal comments of my fic, or shady public bookmarks deriding my update schedule.
Y’all. Being mean to authors doesn’t make you interesting. It makes you an asshole, and it makes the authors sad :(

Live picture of my reaction every time I see someone make a headcanon that Tyler is an irresponsible student like this kid isn't trying his best to keep his grades up really high while being a star athlete to get a college scholarship, despite being stuck in a nightmare dimension with creatures that want to kill him for seven whole hours every day and not knowing if he or his sister will survive long enough to actually have a future:

The amount of. Just anger i feel toward porter is insurmountable he is fully looking at a student that he refuses to understand and looks at said students close friend and says “i like you more than my student of going on 3 years” LIKE SHUT UP god he pisses me off so much its like he expects every barbarian to be the exact same and the MOMENT gorgug is like “haha i do this a bit differently and i like being nice and processing my emotions but im still a functional barbarian and also i like making magical tools” he refuses to help or understand and instead constantly within one day has insulted him to his face ALSO in front of his friends and its like why does gorgug have to try so fucking hard god i hate him so much and i hate that hed fucking like how much i hate his stupid fucking face it is rare that i feel like this in regards to a character but it is difficult for me to have an understanding of a character that teaches fucking children and refuses to understand one of his students in such a way where he is actively holding him back to where he has to do so much to do what he wants he makes me so upset IM SORRY this is so disorganized and theres barely any sort of stop or punctuation here its difficult for me to not be upset by this stupid fictional character that hits too close to home bc i unfortunately relate to the character hes a fucking ass to
Ok ive calmed down a bit and i know that porter thinks he is helping but at the end of the day its just. Detrimental. And being angry and a fictional character helps no one but i had to say it or id keep thinking about it. Someone please tell me if porter stops being. The way hes been. Like character development. At some point. Im on ep 4 of fhjy and having fun i swear

Ik I have reblogged a lot of stuff about this but, I will scream this from the roof tops! LET QUEER CHARACTERS BE COMPLEX! All humans are complex including queer people, woah shocker :0. Demonizing or rejecting complex queer characters who do complex things is absolutely insane to me. Let queer characters be messy and bad people who need to grow, we need a balance. Having all queer characters be perfect just makes them feel like a cardboard cut out. Like for example is Hedwig a bad person? yes! That is what the film is about, perpetuated cycles of abuse of power and being taken advantage of. But by the end of the film she grows, and makes a change, even if it’s something is minuscule as giving Yitzak her wig and letting them be themselves. This is after Hedwig previously uses the power they have over Yitzak to stop them from wearing wigs and performing drag, something which Yitzak is passionate about, as an ultimatum for their marriage. She has the ability to after the film, keep growing and stop the cycles. And that’s just one example! Anyway, I know this was long, but in conclusion, let queer characters be complex and messy and make mistakes and be bad people. Not every queer person is perfect. Nobody is so let your characters have room to be messy or a bad person and grow from those experiences and choices.
Some other great examples of complex queer characters of the top of my head:
- really any character from Falsettos
- Frank-n-Furter from Rock Horror
- PJ and Josie from Bottoms
- all of the characters from The Boys in the Band
I could elaborate on each one of them but, then this post would be an essay and ik none of y’all want to read all that.

Ngl it actually really bothers me when people say Dick was the angry Robin and that his anger is his defining feature. I mean, hate the phrase “angry Robin” in general since it’s reductive and people only really use it when they want to hype up their fave, but especially when they use it for Dick.
When someone says this, they tend to a. post a panel of/talk about something Dick did when he’s an adult (aka not Robin since he stopped being Robin in his late teens) or b. post a panel of Dick in the pretty immediate aftermath of his parents’ murder which is….. a choice???
It just feels like a pretty weird misunderstanding of his origin/character. Yes, he was angry when he first met Bruce since his parents’ killer was still at large, but because Bruce helped him bring his parents murderer to justice he was able to let go of that anger.
That’s the whole point! Bruce saw this child who witnessed his parents murder the same way he did and saw the same path of loneliness/anger/obsession he could potentially take if he wasn’t redirected. Bruce wanted to help him get the closure he never did and because of that Dick was able to be a hopeful and optimistic child again and he loved being Robin! Just look at him:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s a reason you’ll see a lot of panels of him smiling as a kid! Now if you want to talk about the anger he developed as a young adult due to the pretty much constant exposure to trauma, death, and violence he experienced during adolescence, that’s a different discussion. But he was mostly a happy kid when he was Robin!
Even as an adult who’s been exposed to some extremely traumatic experiences, Dick Grayson fights every day for his optimism and to be a positive person. He always tries to see the best in other people. He wants a better future for Bludhaven, the city he chose because he knew it needed the most help. He moved on from his parents murder to try to live the life he wants to live. Anger is NOT Dick’s defining trait, it is 100% his hope.

you know amatonormativity in fiction doesn't just mean "aspec characters being forced into relationships" right? because although that is a huge part of it, it also means characters who are fully capable of being attracted to others are always paired up no matter what because "they would be lonely otherwise 🥺" like i don't know if i'm making sense right now but it really rubs me the wrong way when the only character in a fandom to not be constantly shipped is the aspec character because that still perpetuates the idea that romantic/sexual relationships are expected and being aspec is an outlier!!!!!! kicking and screaming this is still amatonormativity!!!!!!!!!

The difference
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I KNOW it was from yesterday, I KNOW it's supposed to be a joke but is it?? But is it a joke? How can you joke about your driver when he is "looking grey" and "hasn't eaten anything in 24 hours". Maybe fred didn't know that the condition was serious but even then is it ok to joke about someone's health like this? I'm sorry but it's unacceptable behaviour for me

the day am fans realise that miles/milex shippers are less problematic and harmful to the fandom than lv/her supporters will be one of the best days of my life
rant incoming because I'm going insane:
i will never ever understand why am fans have so much beef with milex shippers.
i have been in SO many fandoms throughout my life, I've been obsessed with SO many bands whose members are shipped to the point of insanity, and it was never a problem. sure, some people didn't like the ships, but why are so many am fans acting like this is something unique? bts, mcr, dan and phil, harry potter, I've seen fucking everything. every other fandom in the world are just this obsessed with their ships, trying to prove that two men are fucking, posting theories and so on. shipping was always a thing in fandoms and always will be, especially if we're talking about male celebrities and teenage girls.
having said this, the kind of fandom i have never been in is one where grown ass women bring this much toxicity to the community and behave like children. there are hundreds of celebrities whose girlfriends are not liked by the fans, but no girlfriend ever engaged this much with the haters, probably because they realised that it would only make things worse, and the fans would hate them even more.
we could've had some peaceful end of the tour content, but no, we have this instead. every few months something has to be done by a certain someone in order for people to pay attention to her, and so that in the end fans will forget the reason they're fans and engage in stupid shit like this, defeating the whole purpose of being a music fan.
all this drama is slowly making me not want to have anything to do with am or the fandom anymore. if not for miles and him being connected to am, i would've stopped giving a fuck about alex years ago (technically not through his fault, but then also because of him). this whole thing just makes me sad because miles does not deserve to be associated with these people and the fact that he will never be able to get rid of them is so not it.

a couple things:
-ao3 being down due to an outage bc of a literal political attack is fucking pissing me off. please go to @/omarsbigsister on tik Tok, sign her petition and email your senators bc this is fucking ridiculous and if you think conservatives attacking ao3 is a one time thing you are deluding yourself. they're going after fandom spaces first and then it'll be any and all queer media. if this worries you and freaks you out and makes you sad, sign that petition, read the kids online safety act for yourself so you actually understand what's happening, and just do what you can. this stupid fucking law is being backed by both parties bc 90% of the people running the US are either bigots or fucking dumbasses. and even if you're not in America ao3 is based in America so this policy is going to affect it regardless.
-the fact that I'll never get to find out what project X37 is on inside job is, you guessed it, fucking pissing me off. what the fuck Netflix. cancelling another amazing show with nothing else quite like it.
I hate Netflix I hate greedy corporations I hate conservatives trying to control everything and everyone and police media and fucking ruin peoples lives. what the fucking fuck
