Mon Ange

in middle school a girl wrote fullmetal alchemist fanfiction for an english assignment and she got in trouble not because she submitted fanfiction but because it was 32.000 fucking got damn words. It was a creative writing assignment meant to clock in at maybe two pages if your handwriting was big. the whole thing was handwritten too, we couldn’t type and use a printer for this one. I’m haunted by her. She even wrote it in pen first draft no editing. her name was bridgette but she insisted it was actually Moondust. no i’m not fucking kidding about ANY of this i need to haunt you with this information like i am haunted. Moondust.

One thing I have not seen mentioned in light of this statement, perhaps because it's just well known or perhaps because it's been forgotten, is that Radcliffe has dealt with this before. About 10 years ago his friendship with a trans musician named Our Lady J became known to the tabloids. They immediately published sensational articles calling her a transvestite and a drag queen (she was not), and speculating about the nature of their relationship. He responded to insinuating questions by simply being aggressively positive about what a great musician and good friend she was. They did at least one interview together for a queer magazine. This at a time when trans people were even more marginalized than now, and when he as an actor was finishing Harry Potter and under a lot of pressure to ~manage his image~ as he transitioned to an adult career.
