In The Attic Is Where I’ll Hide

Day 144

while i am all for transformative work on fiction its always funny when people claim stuff thats literally denied by the text right under their nose. like i am truly sorry that you think benji and sybelle becoming vampires means armand is never able to heal or that they're useless characters that drag him down or whatever but thats you. 👁👁🫵 like. thats you projecting into the character when you say that. thats an au headcanon type of read of the actual books because every evidence on page points in the absolute opposite direction.

Without fail, every time a woman is talking about how she does not want to have children and never wants to be pregnant and how medical professionals, romantic interests and family members keep trying to bulldoze her decision and keep expecting her to change her mind because motherhood is something that is expected of all women and it is abhorrent to think a woman could not desire it, a random mother spawns in the comments to be like “Well, actually, you never know! I didn’t want children and then I got pregnant and I realized I love being a mama and I have five little babies now! Could happen to you! 🥰”

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.
