normally whatever jkr says kinda just rolls off my back and makes me roll my eyes like "again?". but there's something about these two that just... something about getting compared to the villains in your childhood series has had me lying on the floor and contemplating

It really does speak volumes to the fact that not only has she not sat down and talked to a trans person but she doesn’t listen like…ever.

She lives in a vile echo chamber of her own design, surrounded by yes-men who nod and clap rather than encouraging her to learn. There’s no other way the ignorance on display in her tweets on asexuality wouldn’t be cripplingly embarrassing for a person otherwise.

She’s sipping on that cool aid so hard she’s convinced herself that the government is run by trans people, that we’re out here beguiling vulnerable cis people to join our cause and violently executing people if they don’t. Whilst at the same time believing all we do is sit in cars and cry when we’re misgendered.

Maybe at one point she did speak to trans people, back when she promised she’d march alongside us. But those days are long long gone. We exist as nothing more than caricatures in her mind now.

My testosterone prescription has gone up again?!

Tell me again how easy it is to transition

Genuinely going to have to try and half my dose (or quarter it let’s be real) because I cannot afford it anymore otherwise. Peak peak peak.

Following on from my random Tonks is an artist hc/thought from like 3 weeks ago

au where Tonks dies in the final battle and Remus doesn't - and then a month later he finds a self-portrait that Tonks had painted and tries to enchant it so that it talks.

He spirals into madness to get it to work and spirals further into delusion when he finally gets it. Juggling raising Teddy on his own and coveting the portrait of his dead wife as though she's the real thing, getting further and further isolated and detached from reality.

Give me grief-mad Remus Lupin. Haunted Remus Lupin.

double it and pass it on i love the idea of tonks not being able to enchant it. she doesn't know who she is enough to be able to do that, which is why it's been left like that. give me tonks painting over herself time amd time again because she can't figure out what one is really her. give me layers and layers of colours around her hair because she couldn't decide what was more her and the final portait is still.... off. somehow. remus can't pinpoint exactly what it isn't but it isn't her entirely. something is off.

grieving and haunted remus trying to replicate the painting and fix whatever it is, grieving and haunted remus learning to draw so that he can memorialise his lost love forever and when he FINALLYYYY manages to paint her right, then the charms work.

then he gets to see the real dora again and he's able to talk to her and charm her exactly how she was because she might not have known who she really was, but ohhhhh he really did 😖😖 he knew her through and through 😖😖

Exactly exactly exactly 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Tonks’ self portraits never quite having finished faces FRFR sometimes it’s just not quite right but sometimes it’s obvious: overlapping features and colours or smudges in place of eyes or blurred out or burnt away or chromatic abberation everywhere. A scramble of colours in the vague shapes of tonks’ face. Everything but drawing her face

But the first time Remus sees one of them, before they’re anything more than friends and comrades, he picks it up and says “it’s you!”

He’d recognise her no matter how faceless
