And to those who say, but second hand books and read them, what about the one who buys a second hand book, reads it, thinks wow how awesome is this i need to find more and starts supporting JK not knowing what an terf asshole she is.

You are still perpetuating the fandom.

It does make me wonder if she was a homophobe, racist, facist etc whether her ‘fans’ would still be like - but you can support the art but not the artist’ She isnt like Lovecraft who everyone knows he was a racist bigot. He is dead, his work is known for it’s time but it’s not affecting current policy, like JK Rowlings work IS.

The UK anti trans bills that came in were also a direct result of HER LOBBYING PARLIMENT.

As I was searching info for a Grindeldore I'm writing (yes, your Grindeldore, anon) I came to a realisation: Albus kept things from Harry because that's how he was brought up.

His parents were always about keeping secrets to protect their loved ones: his father went to Azkaban hiding the real motive behind him killing the muggles that hurt his daughter so that Ariana didn't have to grow up in Saint Mungo's. His mother hid Ariana, not even letting her go to Hogwarts, for the very same purpose.

Albus even lied to himself about Gellert Grindelwald's real nature just because he wanted to believe him - just because he came to love him.

Lying and hiding things in the Dumbledore family meant caring for each other.

Albus lied and kept things from Harry because he actually thought he was taking care of him in that way.

I'm not saying it isn't a toxic behaviour or that it was the best thing Dumbledore did with Harry, because we know Harry's life could have been a bit less fucked up if he was told things from the beginning.

But I think that it was all Albus knew about loving someone else. It was how Albus was taught to love.

‘But why?’ said Harry desperately. ‘Why’s he being so stupid? If Dumbledore –’

‘Ah, well, you’ve put your finger on the problem,’ said Mr Weasley with a wry smile. ‘Dumbledore.’

‘Fudge is frightened of him, you see,’ said Tonks sadly.

‘Frightened of Dumbledore?’ said Harry incredulously.

‘Frightened of what he’s up to,’ said Mr Weasley. ‘Fudge thinks Dumbledore’s plotting to overthrow him. He thinks Dumbledore wants to be Minister for Magic.’

‘But Dumbledore doesn’t want –’

‘Of course he doesn’t,’ said Mr Weasley. ‘He’s never wanted the Minister’s job, even though a lot of people wanted him to take it when Millicent Bagnold retired. Fudge came to power instead, but he’s never quite forgotten how much popular support Dumbledore had, even though Dumbledore never applied for the job.’

...well he was plotting to take over the world before his dick boyfriend tortured his bother and his sister died. And the reason he didn't apply was because he didn't trust himself with power. Say thanks to Aberforth, Fudge.

Hi there! America is pretty large, and I’ve only seen a fraction of it myself, but I did some digging for you that might help! 

Wynwood, FloridaEast Nashville, TennesseeRino, ColoradoMontrose, TexasLawrenceville, Pennsylvania (I HAVE been here, and it’s wonderful!)Little Five Points, GeorgiaBoise (Downtown 8th Street), IdahoFishtown, Pennsylvania Ballard, WashingtonEast Austin, TexasNorth Loop, MinnesotaNorth Park (San Diego), CaliforniaPearl District (Portland), OregonMarigny, Louisiana

Those are just off of this list. I read through the article and it seems pretty legit. Others that I personally know of are New Hope, Pennsylvania and Lakeland, Florida. 

I’m sure there are others, so if anyone else knows of some, please feel free to contribute. :)

Hope this helps!

Prompt 6: “We came crumbling down like a stack of cards.”

  • Things were already tense before the start of the war. 
  • There were bloodlines to consider, strains of inhuman beasts mixing with the noble and pure, but neither Remus nor Sirius cared much for that, not at this stage in their relationship. 
  • By now, they held each other up and could take a hit for the other when needed. They were unbreakable, like a vow sealed with magic without ever having uttered a word. 
  • But once the war came, they were fragile. 
  • Whispers that used to contain laughter and kisses that would linger ceased, and in their wake were stale air and cold lips. 
  • Soft glances became wary and suspicious, and every touch, when they did see one another...well...
  • They were either afraid to let their fingers lace together, or they were desperate and needed the attention, starved like wild animals that cried to be fed. 
  • There was no more intimacy, no more hushed promises of forever, and they were left with memories of sunflower fields in Wales during summer break and naked nights spent connecting each and every scar like constellations on their skin. 
  • No, they were feral, raw, praying to whatever divine being would hear them that this war wouldn’t end with the death of them. 
  • They weren’t heard, not by anyone, and Remus had never felt more betrayed when he stood over James and Lily’s graves in Godric’s Hollow. 
  • They were gone. Peter was gone. And Sirius...
  • Oh, Sirius.
  • For years they’d placed each card that had been stacked against them carefully on a glass table. Remus knew that one wrong move would cause it to collapse the higher they built it, but for years, it remained stable. 
  • Then the glass shattered, and the cards scattered, and Sirius’s laugh haunted Remus in everything. His eyes were everywhere, his voice echoed always, but no matter how fast Remus ran, how desperately he reached out, Sirius was gone.
  • At least, the one he’d built a house of cards with, was.
