powergirl:

#grades six through eight are not canon

#gpoy #I listened to a lot of evanescence #and wore a lot of hot topic #and did a lot of slut-shaming #it was a dark time

I heartily approve of this convention.

Unfortunately the thing I would at this point most like to declare non-canonical occurred exactly a week ago.

For those of you who asked me to write as Remus … he’s a lot harder to write than Sirius, but I’ll get it done.

Also, you folks are awesome for picking Remus and Sirius. I should have just said, pick Remus or Sirius. But I didn’t need to. Because y’all are awesome.

As Sirius: Well, maybe in that moment it feels it is. I mean, there’s different loves, like love for your best mate, which isn’t a sexy type love. Though sometimes it turns that way, doesn’t it? And sex, well, sometimes you’re just trying it on, and sometimes a person is just new and exciting and you end up not loving them at all. Then again, in that moment, you know, when it’s you and it’s them and you feel so alive that you might die, so good you never want it to end — in that moment, it’s love. Or it can feel like that. I think, like I said there’s different types of love, maybe there’s different types of sex, too, because when you really love someone, when you really do … it’s different again. Then, every breath, every pause, every time you put your mouth on them, you’re expressing something you can never express to its fullest, never quench, never get out — but you want to, you want to get it out, because you want to give them everything, all of it, all that love, inside them.

As Me: The problem with this statement is the “=” because obviously these two aren’t equal, even assuming we’re talking about romantic love here. “=” would mean they are exactly the same, which they are not. I will say that I’ve not had sex with everyone I’ve fallen in love with (and in the cases where I did they didn’t always love me) nor have I loved everyone I’ve had sex with. But my personal experimentation has led me to decide that for myself (I cannot speak for others) the two go best together and I hope in the future not to have one without the other, though I don’t necessarily have faith that I’ll be so lucky.

Let’s try something. Put a number in my ask box of the question you want me to answer and the name of the HP character you want me to answer it as. Don’t go too obscure — it’s more interesting if we know at least a little about the character and who’s important in their life.

I will also answer it as myself, if I can (so there will be two answers).

alijandra:

1. What is more difficult for you, looking into someones eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someones eyes when they are telling you how they feel?

2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way?

3. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago non-stop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You have enough time to make ONE phone call. Who do you call? What do you tell them?

4. You are at the doctor’s office and he has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? What do you do with your remaining days? Would you be afraid?

5. You can have one of the following two things. Which do you choose? Why? Love and Trust.

6. You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late even once more, you are fired. Do you take the time to save the dogs life? Why or Why not?

7. Would you rather be hurt by the one you trust the most or the one you love the most?

8. Your best friend confesses that he/she has feelings for you more than just friendship. He/she is falling in love with you. What do you (or did you) do/say?

9. Think of the last person who you know that died. You have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give up one year of yours. Do you do it? Why or Why not?

10. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?

11. Does love = sex?

12.Your boss tells your coworker that they have to let them go because of work shortage, and they are the newest employee. You have been there much longer. Your coworker has a family to support and no other means of income. Do you go to your boss and offer to leave the company? Why or Why not?

13.When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt regardless of how difficult it was for you to say? Who was it? What did you have to tell the person?

14. What would be (or what was) harder for you to tell a member of the opposite sex, you love them or that you do not love them back?

15. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose?

16. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them. Who were they to you?

17. If there was one moment and one time in the last month what would you change and why?

18.Imagine it is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear someone walking around outside your window. WHO do you wish was there with you?

19. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying? Why or Why not?

21.You are holding onto your grandmother’s hand and the hand of a newborn that you do not know as they hang over the edge of a cliff. You have to let one go to save the other. Who do you let fall to their death? What was your rationale for making the decision?

22. Are you old fashioned?

23. When was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it?

24.Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why?

25.If you could do anything or wish anything, what would it be?

HELP PLEASE

finthefish:

Wow, never thought I would have to make this post but I NEED HELP.

If anybody is in the Olympia, Washington area please house me for a week at most.

I have been kicked out for my life choices i.e. Gender Identification and Sexuality.

If you’re not able to house me, please boost me. I have no where to go and I’m probably going to stay at my current residence for a night since I came to their door step at 11:00 PM a rude, sobbing mess.

Signal boost.

aha sorry if this is out of order/inappropriate but i didn't know there were like, any other queer wolfstar shippers! nice to know i'm not alone :) also your blog is flawless, i love reading the things you have to say about the books, it's so interesting to have someone engage with it in such an interesting, different way.

alijandra — Sun, 27 May 2012 19:05:49 -0400

No inappropriateness at all! We’re definitely not alone in being queer wolfstar shippers — I think you’ll find many lurking around.

I’m glad that you find my approach to the text original and interesting. I’m always looking for more to discuss so never hesitate to share your thoughts.

the only reason i could ever get excited about more books from j.k. rowling is if they were a series about james, remus, sirius, peter, and lily, and if they focused heavily on the romance between remus and sirius.

~~Universal~~ truth.

Actually, let’s get this bent. Heterosexuality is overrated.

A+ haha

It’s actually always sort of bothered me that the vernacular word for heterosexual is “straight” — the alternative, of course, is “bent” (or twisted or inverted or whatever you like, but probably bent is the go-to antonym here) — so simply by calling heterosexuals “straight” we’re covertly putting down the folks (like myself) who don’t fit that description.

EDIT: to tie this back to Potter, compare the pure blood/mudblood situation, where even if you don’t use the slur, you’re still implying it by calling wizarding family descendants pure.

“Where else in cinema or a big film franchise is there a female character that is not just supplementary or additional or the pretty face. She’s a breakthrough, I think. Ron says at the beginning, “I don’t know if we’ll get through a day without Hermione”. She’s like the brains behind the whole operation. And she’s so integral to that trio and to Harry’s success. I think she’s a very important figure.”

So I just realised. A lot of people, when you say you have a friend on the internet, go “but you don’t know! They could be a middle aged man pretending to be an teenage girl!”

They dont know that most of these people are my RP partners.

And are teenage girls pretending to be middle aged men.

Author: imochan
Words: 4,416
Rating: NC-17
Era: Post-Hogwarts
Author’s notes: Mmm… betrayal, fresh out of the oven.

“There, now,” says Sirius, and Remus tries very hard not to realize that he has, quite simply, bared his heart to the one person in the world who has the ability to crush it between idle fingers. “Isn’t that better?”

“There is sunlight falling across Sirius’s face. So beautiful, in their stupid, ugly, dusty kitchen, it makes him ache, because he knows what it’s like, to touch his jaw there.”

A complicated, rather crushing look at what things might have been like for R/S in that time.
