there are two wolves inside me ;; one that views harry as a bottom forcibly feminized housewife teen war bride...and the other that views him as a tired middle-aged father of three (also a bottom btw)
ok i actually have a headcanon about this. basically, in order to speak parseltongue your vocal chords need to be shaped differently than a normal humans'. this is a trait that is passed down genetically which is why parseltongue only occurs in certain bloodlines. (1/8)
➻ in canon harry has three children with ginny; albus severus potter, james sirius potter, and lily luna potter.
➻ i understand the reasoning behind the names jkr picked...but i personally find them extremely tacky + i hate the epilogue and cursed child
Harry haveing to live with some form of pyscical contact with Voldemort for the rest of his life because this grown-ass man will act like he died if he's out of sight for a few seconds.
"HE'S DEAD, MY SOUL IS DEAD!"
Harry standing in the doorway brushing his teeth: "Big baby."
~ explanation pt. 2 ~
➻ Phoenix is a constellation, which honors the Black's naming tradition
➻ It also honors Fawkes, and by extention, Albus Dumbledore
~ explanation ~
➻ Ivaan is a Hindu name that means 'God’s gracious and glorious gift; the sun; ruler; royal'
➻ I like the Desi James/Harry headcanon
➻ + fanon James is often connected to sun imagery
➻ ++ the Weasleys are named after Kings and other rulers
but no one innately knows parseltongue, you have to learn somehow. the first parselmouths learned from snakes, obviously, but harry innately knew the language because of the piece of voldemort's soul inside of him (3/8)
~ explanation ~
➻ Aquila is a constellation that translates to “The Eagle”
➻ In greek mythology Aquila is the eagle that serves as a symbol and servant of Zeus, the god of lightning
➻ i wonder who else has a lightning-shaped symbol...
~ explanation ~
➻ Tristan is the name of one of King Arthur’s knights, which honors the weasley tradition of naming their children after knights and royalty throughout history
also: parseltongue is a (nearly) dead language, similar to latin, and parselmagic is a closed practice. someone who isn't a parselmouth could perhaps learn the written language, but never actually speak it (8/8)
~ explanation pt. 2 ~
➻ Procyon is located in the constellation Canis Major and is the star closest to Sirius. It is one of the brightest stars visible from Earth
~ explanation ~
➻ Iris is a flower named after the greek goddess of the rainbow. It commonly represents strength, brightness, and hope
➻ this honors the Evans’ tradition of naming their daughters after flowers
➻ Ron and Hermione have a daughter named Rose so they would match
i have a lot of other thoughts/headcanons about the scarcrux, but one of them is that (since we know the horcruxes are sentient and have memories from before they were created, some of voldemort's knowledge transferred to harry (4/8)
harry probably never thought it was weird he was immediately fluent in parseltongue, he probably thought 'magic, ig' and let it go (plus dumbledore famously kept him in the dark about 99% of stuff regarding voldemort, the prophecy, horcruxes, etc.) (5/8)
also, tom riddle was able to learn parseltongue first by copying the snakes he found while living at wool's (but he probably couldn't learn much because he wasn't talking to magic snakes) (6/8)
and then when he finally discovered the chamber of secrets he probably discovered a bunch of texts in parselscript + slytherin's writings and notes and he taught himself the language + parselmagic (7/8)
regulus black they could never make me like you. canonically ugly. canonically had a fascist shrine in his room. canonically only betrayed voldemort bc he hurt his house elf...
@LiquidLucknStuf
hmm i have a lot of them...dumbledore was morally grey, not completely evil. he believed that sacrifice was necessary for the greater good, but wasn't some grand chess master who didn't care about anyone, specifically harry
@silkenriddle
in my heart of hearts i believe that voldemort saw himself in severus, and because of he was closer to him than bellatrix, which is why is betrayal was so devastating. bellatrix was his right hand man but severus was his left
@lilyslittlewife
i think harry would name his daughter after a flower to honor the evans' tradition and his son after one of king arthur's knights to honor the weasley's tradition. then maybe constellation middle names to honor the black tradition.
pls regulus wasn't haunting shit 🤭🤭meanwhile everyone and their mom was telling harry he had his mother's eyes and talking about how amazing and brave she was
as someone who had social media when i was a young child...young children should not have access to social media lmao. that, or platforms should designate a separate space for minors
tom riddle graduated from the University of Cuntology and then when denied the position of professor to teach the next generation he decided to permanently disfigure himself in protest
@lilyslittlewife
i agree...so weird to me how mtwt babygirlifies the most heinous death eaters (regulus, evan, barty, etc.)...but then hate snape like make it make sense. let evil men be evil !!
always liked the headcanon that harry was more of a full-on jesus/messiah figure. like kids would pray to 'harry potter' before bed. books would be written about him, there'd be a holiday named after him. there'd be a new st. mungo's ward named after him. shit like that.
I really need more “good” wizards being weird and creepy about Harry… especially after he’s revealed as the Chosen One. Men touching him randomly, saying how special he is, telling Harry they want to make him their wife…..
@hanamichivash
personally i view him as asexual but i can see him using sex (or just his good looks in general) as a tool to control and manipulate people
in our homes by dutch (itsevanffs)
~ harrymort; similar to mummy dearest. when voldemort is resurrected he thinks harry is his mother and kidnaps him. nothing explicitly sexual has happened yet, just a bunch of creepy fluff.

genuine question: why do you guys get up in arms about proshippers but are completely fine with harry potter, a book series that includes incestuous relationships?
can we stop normalising proshipping actually no it's not just fiction, no it's not just harmless, & you're welcome to read this thread if you think "fiction doesn't affect reality" 🧵
