hot take: some marauders ships are more popular than others not because they’re men but because they’re bigger characters in the main story.
like not to say the sapphic ships aren’t overlooked in favor of the gay men sometimes— definitely not saying that. but i feel like people neglect the fact that characters like sirius or remus, or james, lily and maybe even regulus, are more popular within fandom because they were actually somewhat important to the main story.
we actually met remus and sirius in the story, and we know a lot more about james and lily than we do characters like dorcas or marlene or mary who had like one line to acknowledge them. and regulus has some information but also things can be easily presumed about him through sirius’s history.
idk i just think it can be kinda lazy to blame the popularity of ships on people being Secretly Horrible Misogynists instead of just… we know more about them.
like yes the angst premises of kagehina losing touch with each other and rekindling their relationship like 10 years later are amazing but i just can’t imagine that ever happening to them like they are literally hot glued together imo
I love how some people are surprised about how skirk looks like jingliu forgetting the fact that hoyoverse has always had a thing for taking their characters from other games and slightly changing their designs lol
Hozier wrote “You called me "angel" for the first time, my heart leapt from me You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth And what's left of it, I listen to it tick Every tedious beat” and then a song with “Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby” got nominated for a Grammy. I don’t mean to bash but seriously let’s get our heads on straight. How did this man get zero nominations while others like this did?
Ok but what if at death eater meetings there was a seat between Narcissa and Bellatrix for Andromeda. Like it would be Bellatrix across from Rodolphus, the next to Rodolphus would be Rabastan and an empty seat across from him for Andromeda. Then Narcissa next to the empty seat, and so on.
