OOC: HELLO FOLLOWERS

Penny here. <3 As you can tell it’s been a long time since I’ve updated here at all. A number of things led to this, mostly mental health concerns and changing interests, but I will be keeping this blog for posterity andddd on the off chance I get back into Credence.  Depending on what we see from the movies in the future, I might be back!! For now, here are some alternatives: 1. Go follow me on my regular blog, which also kind of updates infrequently these days: @nonmortem-somnifratrem

2. Follow my beloved friend Ashton on their 18+ Credence RP blog! Please don’t follow if you’re under 18, they nasty. In the best possible way <3 You can find them here! --> @controlit <-- go go go

IMPORTANT

((Okay, I need to say something and it is important, so please read this.

I got some flames saying that I’m homophobic and that I should delete this blog because of this and all that shit. So. Get it in your heads:

I. AM. NOT. HOMOPHOBIC.

Got it? Good.

I myself am queer. I know how fucked up homophobic slurs are (even though I’m not homosexual) and I think it is shit to judge someone because of their sexuality. (Let me tell you, even if it is none of your concern, that I am biromantic asexual—I was often attacked from within the LGBTQIA+ community, thankyouverymuch. ‘You are not queer if you, as a woman, are in a relationship with a man.’ ‘You are not part of our community because asexuals never fought for our rights.’ And so on, and so on. You get it? Good.)

But let me explain, why Theseus is homophobic, though. And yes, he is to a certain degree, I won’t deny this. But the character is not me! Get it in your heads, please!

Theseus has his reasons to be this way—that doesn’t make it right how he acts. There was something in his past that makes him more homophobic than he would’ve been without this experience but I won’t tell you what I headcanon. Also, it was illegal to be openly gay at that time in England! Please keep the time that we are in in mind!

Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or is a party to the commission of, or procures, or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with an other male person, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being convicted thereof, shall be liable at the discretion of the Court to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years, with or without hard labour.

So. Illegal. And Theseus isn’t the most open person about this—not everyone is accepting of queer people. While someone like Queenie is more open about sexualities and more accepting, there are a lot of people (the majority if we are honest) that aren’t accepting of these kind of things in that time.

I know that @mrpercivalgraves stated on their blog that Graves and Theseus had a relationship in the past—and that is canon for our blogs—so Theseus is at least bisexual (I headcanon him as gay but he is suppressing it more or less). But that doesn’t mean that he can’t be homophobic. He is. I want him to be because he isn’t perfect and it causes some kind of conflict.

I’m sorry that I had to make this entry and I’m sorry for the mistakes and if it’s a bit messy but I’m just drained and I don’t want to discuss this anymore. Please understand that I know a bit about designing characters as I am roleplaying and writing for over ten years now. Characters have their faults and that’s okay. This may be a major fault but—hell—I still think it is a good idea. Keep it real and all.

The character is not me.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day!))

((PREACH.))

(( Important people!! We are not our characters! Respect the person behind the blog! ))

(( Just because ))

Theseus reads the morning issue of the Daily Prophet and nearly spits out his tea when he sees the front page. His eyes fly over the headline, stopping at the not quite small photo.

‘How in the hell did they manage to get that?’ He asks out loud even if there is no one there to hear him in his flat. His appetite is gone and with a wave of his hand he sends his barely touched cup of tea into the sink. He puts his face in his hands. ‘The next days will be hell.’

He thinks about paying his tattooist a visit but he knows she would never do something like this. He trusts her. Someone must’ve snuck in while he got the tattoo—and he didn’t notice. How did he not notice? He is a goddamn Auror for Merlin’s sake!

Dearest Theseus,

     I trust you read The Daily Prophet this morning.  Quite a few interesting articles today, weren’t there?  I must admit I wasn’t expecting a few of them.  ‘Auror’s too Lazy,’ seems like such a drab headline.  Have you been keeping the papers up to date with the current department reformations?

‘Grindelwald on the Loose’ was another that disappointed me.  Really now, have they got so little to report on that they’re sticking with this old bit of news with nothing to tell us?  They should be telling us when they’ve seen the blighter, not doling out old information.  Not the most riveting reading material for breakfast, I think.

I’ll be out of the country for a few days again- bit of business with a creature sighting out in Bruges.  Something about a mermaid being spotted in the canals.  Do give my best to mother for Sunday dinner.

Your loving brother, 

Newt S.

P.S. I’ve submitted the front cover’s photo to Witches Weekly.  I knew you wouldn’t mind.
