➺ Name: Holly or Kiara (not my real name, though I wish either was)

➺ Birthday: August 7th

➺ Hobbies: Just reading (I'm boring, I know)...

➺ Zodiac: Leo (idk much about this, only about me)

➺ Personality Type(s): INFP-T or ISFP-T

➺ I really like Greek Mythology

➺ Multifandom (though, at the moment, I'm hyperfixated on HP)

➺ I'm pretty open-minded and like trying new things

➺ I love art, especially fanart! Artists have my heart forever and ever; they’re gifts sent from the heavens. Here to bless us with their glorious minds and talent 😚❤️✨

➺ I love genderbent or genderbending characters (i.e., fem!Harry, fem!Percy, etc), though there's never really any good fics about them. It's a struggle out here :c

➺ I'm a canon and fanon follower

➺ I’m a Golden Trio fan & Marauders fan (specifically the Potters).

➺ I actually really love Jily, Hinny, Romione

➺ Characters I stan: Harry (but I am the chosen one) Potter, Perseus (I didn't want to be a half-blood) Jackson, Sakura Haruno, Bonnie Bennett, Hope Mikaelson, Jean Grey, Wanda Maximoff, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Nightwing, Matt Murdock, Midoriya Izuku, Yuji Itadori. There's more, but I can't remember at the moment.

➺ I am a hardcore women lover (platonically, I think...), okay? So if you're misogynistic, then please stay far far away from me. Thank you!

Fun (or not so fun) Fact About Me ↓↓

• I'm very introverted and VERY indecisive (and I mean this for everything). I cannot, for the life of me, decide on what exactly I like or don't like. Especially in fandoms, for like ships and characters. Some days I'll hate a character (or a ship), then the very next day I'm swinging my feet, giggling, and jumping up and down reading a really good fic on them/with them or I saw some really good fanart or character analysis of them. Like, I'm not on anyone's (or maybe I'm on everyone's) side. I'm just in the middle, listening to everyone, being swayed back and fourth. I'm basically a double agent or spy (Severus Snape type beat, honestly). • I have the worse memory ever, and I really mean the worst. I not only can’t recall things from my childhood but I can’t recall what I did the previous day. I forget things so fast. I’m always forgetting if I’ve eaten or not.

My (maybe) Controversial Takes ↓↓

➺ I'm anti Jegulus. Do I like Regulus? eh, it depends. Do I like James? Of course! 100% but do I like them together? ab-so-lute-ly not, hard pass. This ship is the one ship I can't ever get behind (but if I see some really good fanart of them and I really like it, you best believe I’m going to heart it or at least comment on it because, while I don’t ship it and never will, you, my brilliant, beautiful artist, did a fantastic job, and I hope to see more of your work.)

➺ While I love James Potter, I do in fact believe he was a bully because he was (as was Sirius). You will not and cannot change my mind on this. He was not all sunshine and rainbows and perfect. He was an annoying teenage boy who did annoying teenage boy things. He’s human, he’s imperfect, and he has flaws. Let them show and free my boy from the shackles of Fanon.

➺ I’m not at all a Wolfstar shipper (though I can tolerate it). I honestly think Prongsfoot is way better than it, whether it's platonic and/or romantic

➺ I don’t mind Blackinnon (Sirius/Mckinnon), Remadora (Remus/Nymphadora), Prongsfoot, Rarry/Ronarry, Harmione, Drarry, Dramione, Scorbus, Scorose

➺ I am neither a Snape stan nor a hater, but I do think he’s an interesting character or could be if people gave him a chance and explored him more instead of scrapping him and jumping straight to the next DE (death eater) they deem "good.”

➺ I honestly find the Death Eaters (or Knights of Walpurgis) and the Volturi (from Twilight) to be interesting. Though, I obviously don’t support or condone what they do/have done

➺ I actually enjoy “HP and the Cursed Child”, though it’s not because of the plot/story, it’s because I love Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy. Also, the fact that Harry kept the Parseltongue.

Disclaimer (of sorts) ↓↓

• I'm not bashing or hating on anyone that likes different things from me, and it's never my intention too. If you happen to like a character/characters or a ship/ships that I typically wouldn't, then that's fine! there's nothing wrong with that, like what you want and who you want. Though, the one thing I can't really stand are those hypocrites that hate on/bash people for liking a character that they don't like because "they've done awful things or are an awful person" (which, ok, valid), but than turn around and like other characters that have done the same things or worse. Like....what? what gives you the right to hate on people for liking a character that has done bad things, when the character(s) that you like aren't/isn't any better? There is no high ground here, you're not special or better than anyone else. If anything all of your characters are bad people, so neither of you can really talk about the other, literally hop off. I would like to add that you don't have to like a character, if you don't like them than you don't like them, that's okay. It is only when you are actively bullying and downgrading real life people for a character that they like, that it's problematic. • Shipping isn’t my main focus. I’m here to have fun and focused more on the actual story, the friendships, adventures, and so on. So don’t come on here starting ship wars and demanding I tell you why I ship or don’t ship certain things.

• The most important thing to remember is if you don't like a character, ship, or anything that I happen to like and you take time out of your day to come at me for it. I want you to know that I read your comment, then I looked left, looked right, looked up, looked down, reread your comment, and still couldn’t find where I was supposed to care. I.do.not.care. Don't like it? Leave my page; it’s that simple! XOXO, I hope you have a blessed (or a better) day!

It’s not all the time, but i’ve seen it too much

Anyone else find it annoying when they're reading a HP (or Marauders) fic, and if someone with canonically brown or dark eyes is there or mentioned, they’re always described with lovely grey/blue eyes instead. Not Snape, though. He’s always described with dark, endless pits for eyes (which I’m grateful for, honestly).

The symbolism behind James and Lily being deer (from someone who grew up hunting)

1.) The Hunt

Autumn is hunting season. This is when game is more plentiful as the animals are preparing for the colder months.

This is when Voldemort learned of the prophesy, and this is when he made the start of his hunt known. Everyone was fair game.

James and Lily died in October, forced to cower in their home, and helpless to do anything but stare down the barrel of Voldemort's metaphorical gun.

(Because if you want to get further into it, the killing curse is the equivalent of being shot point blank. No chance of defense. Not for the animals being hunted, and not for James and Lily.)

2.) Spirituality

Deer represent fertility, renewal, and regeneration. Stags are symbols of fatherhood. Does are motherhood.

James and Lily were the parents of the prophesied child. This is why Voldemort came to kill them personally.

They may have died, but their legacy lived on (renewed itself) through their son. Harry would be the one to finish what they started.

3.) Hanging the Head

Their deaths marked a new beginning. Voldemort was gone. Hope was returned to a world shrouded by darkness and fear.

In their honor, James and Lily were held up and lauded as martyrs. We kill a stag and hang its head on a mantle.

James and Lily were killed in cold blood, yet their deaths were perceived as a sacrifice for the greater good. Figureheads for the Order. Nothing but a trophy of good faith.

4.) Dissociation

Deer heads are treated as props. Similarly, James and Lily were spoken of as concepts and less as people. Great wizards who met tragic deaths. Again, martyrs.

Harry knows nothing of his parents but the stories people have told. They are pictures on the wall and a false image in a mirror.

The first time life was breathed back into James and Lily was with the introduction of Remus, Sirius, and Peter. Further, Snape's memories were used to humanize them.

Gave the poor old man PTSD 😭

i love how harry has escaped voldemort so many times that by book 7 it's like:

Voldemort: Avada Kedavra!

Harry: ...

Voldemort: ...

Bellatrix: You did it! You finally killed him.

Voldemort: ....

Voldemort: Someone go poke him with a stick to check.

"harry wasnt that powerful, he literally only knew 3 spells and had a horcrux in him and he wouldnt have survived without-"

listen to me, LISTEN TO ME

the boy was in survival mode for literally all of his life. almost all of his defense teachers tried to kill him. he was more worried about surviving the next voldy jumpscare. his "mentor" was raising him to die.

do u think he had the time to learn and master an arsenal of spells when everyone who was meant to help him are either dead or keeping him in the dark ? do u think he had the time to train when hes getting into life or death scenarios practically every year ?

he was a growing teen who had to deal with a murderer going after him, a world who thinks hes just off his rockers, adults who rarely take him seriously, the natural hormonal teen years, and the typical fights between friends who have vastly different life experiences but arent emotionally mature enough to address those yet . i dont think he even had that much positive reinforcement from everyone around him

stop calling harry james potter a weakass fuckass just because he doesnt have a shiny arsenal of weapons and the mind of a master strategist . thats literally a child and then a teen who keeps on getting retraumatised over and over and over, and you keep on taking the piss on him because he doesnt react like a levelheaded YA protagonist who has everything under control ?

hes just a dude who had to practically raise himself, who tries his goddamn best but fucks up constantly and is always haunted by his fuckups, and who still manages to get the job done at the end

AND EVEN AFTER THAT the people still put more responsibilities on his shoulders like "he couldve redid society with his influence" "he couldve done this he couldve done that" "he couldve done more"

how much more of himself does he have to give before society is satisfied ? why cant the adults take charge for once and rebuild the system that THEY broke ? why's it all on harry's shoulders ALONE ?

"he couldve used his influence-" did u conveniently forget how the wizarding world showed him over and over how easily their views and treatment of him cld change at the flip of a coin ? do u think he'd trust them to listen to him after all this time ? NO

like i get it, "chosen ones" have the influence and the responsibility . "chosen ones" should be powerful and their skills and abilities varied by the end of the series . they could do more and many chosen ones have done more . but harry's just part of the subset of chosen ones that is just tired and beat down at the end of the it all .

idk give him a break, hop off his back, let him retire to the countryside
