HP rambles

My previous blog (hp-vents) was stolen and deleted, unfortunately, so I made a new one. I'm not sure who did it, but please don't do it again. This is simply a safe space for people to vent.

As I said last time, I allow everything. I believe everyone should have a safe space to express their thoughts without being targeted, so you are welcome to do that here!

However, please don't be overly aggressive, don't name-drop people, and do not send me misogynistic, racist, ableist, transphobic, homophobic or any other hateful slurs (even towards characters), threats, or any type of violent/hate speech. If you give me threats of suicide in the asks, I will block your anon. (This happened, yes) Thank you for understanding.

From an adult perspective, Harry Potter just isn’t a strong protagonist: he’s largely reactive, repeatedly carried by luck, prophecy, or more competent characters, and rarely shows meaningful growth proportional to the scale of the conflict around him. As a kid, that passivity reads as relatability and wish-fulfillment; as an adult, it reads like narrative hand-holding and missed opportunities for agency, accountability, and self-reflection. That doesn’t erase what the series meant to me growing up, but nostalgia isn’t a substitute for critique. I’m not here to argue or defend this on a platform built for fandom, vibes and personal takes; if you don’t like what someone says on a fandom app, ignore it like everyone else. If you want to litigate theories and canon minutiae, that’s what Reddit is for. I’m an adult with a mortgage using Tumblr to hang out with I like fandoms, old & new; that was a one-off post, didn't think about it for a while but apparently it kept some off y'all up at night. Some of y’all need to let it go, grow emotionally into understanding the difference between supporting fandom & obsession—even Maggie Smith had to say it out loud, not to mention Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are actively trying distances themselves from Harry Potter because it was toxic and harmful to their careers after, if the actor/actress can move on, why can't you?

I stand by my OPINION, harry is a grade A use of plot armor writen by a anti-trans womans that ruined the whole franchise with one tweet. Was it apart of my childhood? Yes. Does that mean I own my loyalty to it? No. Does saying that your going to ☠️ me in my home, changes my opinion? No. Not all but some of you need legitimate help, your actions affect the entire fandom & death threats doesn’t look good for any fandom.

Betterhelp is a scam, "Scam Awareness" Person. Not sure if you knew that, but I can tell your mention of it wasn't to raise awareness that it is a scam but to "help" people not into stuff older than "The Mandalorian" and who have themselves been getting death threats from people like you.

And surly there are other things in your life besides the aforementioned "Mandalorian", "Encanto", and "KPop Demon Hunters", though I don't know what's so "surly" about those or any other fandoms.

I don't mean this to slander him! I just don't believe he'd be as progressive as fans like to make him out to be. Maybe not aggressively homophobic or anything, but sorta subtle? As in, he'd get squeamish at the thought of two men kissing and being together, and would think something like "I don't care what they do, I just don't ever really want to see it," or would say something like "I just don't understand how a man could be attracted to a man when there's women [Lily] out there." (would probably find women being attracted to women weird too, but be more tolerable with it because they're women)

The whole fandom. Drarry, dramione, Wolfstar and jegulus are usually the ones on top and they all move differently in this fandom but i'm happy to see them

all they post about is the hbo show

i really do think their paid by hbo or wb to promote the show cause it does not come out for another six months and you post about it all day

By "our fandom" do you mean any specific ship or HP in general?

Well, It’s a good thing no one said you had to be familiar with the canon source to understand it, just that many of those who are going to see it already have that extra context in mind because they’ve read it, so this weird assumption they keep imagining and bringing up makes no sense for them (literally no one else is saying this but the fans who have already engaged with the original source, at least from what i’ve seen, so it’s extremely bizarre).

In fact, the first introduction of Snape to Harry is Harry being curious about who he is and than having some weird magically headache he assumes is from him because he was looking at him, and than it’s Snape directly picking on him and embarrassing him in front of everyone, so this whole “it’s going to make Harry look so bad and racist” makes absolutely no sense. Snape looks terrible either way regardless if you read the book or not.
