Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?
Harry Potter Rewrite: Religion.
The original Harry Potter series was heavily influenced by the Christian religion. I never thought it made much sense, so I decided to make it so that the majority (especially purebloods and half-bloods) practice paganism. They’ll have their own traditions and festivals and holidays.
There will be other students who don’t practice paganism, but that enjoy some of their holidays. So far, some of the students (in the Marauders’ Era, since that’s what I’m working on at the moment) who aren’t Pagans are:
1. James Potter—Hinduism
2. Peter Pettigrew—Atheist
3. Severus Snape—Atheist, but has Catholic leanings due to his muggle father
4. Lily Evans—Atheist, family is Catholic
Of course, other religions such as Judaism, Islam, and many more, will be included. I’m just currently doing my research on these religions so that I can portray them well. Any help or suggestion is welcomed.
Any thoughts?
sometimes I try to have nuance and consume media critically like “oh even though I personally don’t like snape because he was a cruel and abusive man that doesn’t mean he’s a bad character because he did ultimately give his life for the cause 😊” or “yes I think dumbledore was a manipulative puppet master who treated people as pawns but he did have good intent and I think he truly loved harry” but then I randomly remember some of the fucked up shit they did and the rage comes back in full force
like snape picking ruthlessly on poor orphaned harry who literally was traumatized his whole life and bullying neville and exposing remus as a werewolf and telling voldemort the prophecy and being willing to let james and harry die just to save lily for his twisted obsession. or dumbledore raising harry to be slaughtered and testing him at every opportunity but telling him nothing and leaving the fate of the world in his young hands. or you know abandoning an innocent sirius to rot in prison without a trial even when he pulled strings for snape, or manipulating persecuted and marginalized people like hagrid and remus to worship the ground he walked on so he could use their loyalty when the time came
You're... you serious, about how She took a pen name of a man who pioneered Gay Conversion Therapies ? That She will share a book with this monstruosity ?
Oh my god... I just...
I don't even know what to say, and I'm losing words about how much I hate Her...
Thank you, I guess, for informing me. I can say it loud enough, She will rot in HELL
Unfortunately, it’s true, I wish I were joking. It’s like every other shitty thing she’s done is the ice cream and this is the cherry on top. I’m so done with her.
Now now, people like her are always condemning us queers to hell, it’s a queer space now, let’s not bring her into our afterlife-party.

If anyone has any ideas on specifics, that would help me immensely. If you’re a trans person and are interested in developing this ceremony and the Verosui with me, you’re more than welcome to. Credit will be given, of course.
Verosui.
[ veros: “genuine” (Greek); sui: “self” (Latin). ]
OFFICIAL NAME. Verosui
ALSO KNOWN AS. The Holy Messenger OR The Amender
SIZE. 14.5 in
DIET. They eat berries, but they also enjoy eating arthropods and small invertebrates such as spiders, scorpions, centipedes and such.
ABOUT THEM. There used to be an ancient ceremony where whenever someone announced that they were born in the wrong body, they would contact the Goddess via a song so that She would send her beloved pet, the Verosui, to right her wrong. The Amender would arrive a week after the song, to perform its magic. During this week, the village or family would gather around in prayer so that the Amender will show its holy compassion as a sign of compassion towards the sufferer.
Once the Amender arrives, they shall see if a person’s true self would be what they claim. If they deem it necessary, they shall begin the performance of sex reassignment, which really involves powerful magic being used while they fly in circles around their target. It is said that the experience is a mixture of thrilling and painful, so it would really depend on who the person is.
Unfortunately, this ceremony was banned in 1903 by the Minister of Magic at the time — K. Rowl. Ever since then, the wixes were forced to forget about this ceremony since they would be persecuted if they attempted to relieve a sufferer’s pain. Sufferers were soon scorned and mocked if they came out.
people don’t seem to understand that the ability to approach an issue in a “calm and mature way” is a privilege that comes from not being personally affected by it. minorities being upset and emotional during discussions of whether they deserve basic respect is not a flaw or weakness on their part you fucking idiots.

Hello my loves,
I’ve been a bit stuck while writing (nothing to worry about, I just have the attention span of a five-year-old and cannot focus for the life of me), but I still wanted to hear more about what you guys want to see! So, I found a much more organized way of doing that!
Honestly, I’m really excited to see what you guys want or don’t want. Who knows, maybe something will strike me and help me keep writing! Remember, I accept headcanons of every character that isn’t Dumbledore. Literally tell me about anyone else except him.
