After the Roonil Wazlib incident writing your name with malfunctioning spell-checking quills becomes a Hogwarts meme.
“What’s your spell-checking quill name?”
“Seamont Fudgenigun”
“Wicked, mine’s Ermiliep Makmoolion.”
Fred and George start selling them with the worn off spell on purpose and calling them Nickname Quills.
There’s graffiti around Hogwarts using the names. “Pants Piikerzloop was here.”
But most importantly, everyone uses their nickname in front of Snape, even if they don’t really know the reason behind it, it’s just a thing that happens now.
i’m sorry it took me so long to answer! depression and college both kicked in 😦 but knitting is awesome, i love it too and i hope you get the comfiest blanket in the end!
and yeah for wolfstar
also, as i was answering your ask, my cat stepped on the keyboard and typed : àp)))))_è
hey coincidence my friendship was also 7 years long!
i know i’m probably better off without them, at least i’m starting to know it, it just sucks guess i’ll just eat rough cookie dough or some other typical heart break thing
thank you ❤
vent, hi
my friend completely ghosted me with 0 explainations a few months ago
I tried telling them we could fix things, but still no answer
I went to events where I thought they would be, but no luck
I stalked their twitter, but they changed their account and all their tweets are too recent to mention me
wtf, I just wanna what I did wrong. please tell me. I hate you for what you did. I still love you and I want you back. idk.
okay i finally figured out what annoyed me with the way internalized queerphobia is often written
(note: in fanfics, it is more often internalized homophobia. i personally have no internalized homophobia, but quite a huge lot of internalized arophobia and also some internalized transphobia)
the number one reason will always be that a lot of fics treat internalized queerphobia as a normal part of being queer, which it absolutely isn’t, but that isn’t what i recently realized
more often than not, here is how internalized queerphobia is written:
“i bully queer people to show that i’m not queer myself”
“i hate queer people. they’re awful”
“if i’m queer then i’m an awful person / going to hell / not valid”
and those are all things some people with internalized queerphobia can feel! but there are many many many other forms that i rarely see represented, which is a shame because in my opinion they are way more interesting
i respect queer people, but i really don’t want to be queer myself. it’s not for me
i have personal goals and i’m afraid i can’t reach them bc i’m queer (this could be wanting to have kids but being gay/aro/…, wanting to serve the army but being trans, …)
i strongly admire proud queer people, but i feel like this can’t ever be me
i’m scared of being out and proud because a part of me wonders if this might just be a phase, or if i’m wrong about what i am
those are just some examples! but I so rarely see them represented even though they exist and in my experience, are as or more common than the “mainstream” kind
bring in some varieties in your writing 😉
(PSA: if you suffer from internalized queerphobia, I’m with you. that shit is tough but you have to remember: society taught you that. It is NOT the absolute truth)
Nice thoughts! To add a bit, I feel like a lot of written internalized stuff is done in the style of “I wish I wasn’t LGBTQIA+!” While that’s perfectly valid, in my experience there is a whole lot more of “I wish people respected my pronouns” or “I wish I could use the proper bathroom without getting hassled” or “I wish I could bring my partner to dinner without my cousins starting shit” or “I wish I had access to the healthcare I need” etc.
Societal influences and support structures play a huge part in our self acceptance and happiness. I always love seeing those angles explored more!
