no Draco doesn’t paint his nails bubblegum pink, man is heavily traumatised and probably evading taxes while drinking black coffee looking out a rainy window thinking hes in a music video

I resent the accusations that Lucius would EVER be abusive towards Narcissa. Hes a WIFE GUY, he ADORES her, she is his LIFE, his BEST FRIEND AND CONFIDANT. Lucius abraxis malfoy is many things but cruel to his wife he is not. Even more I'm annoyed I have to defend Lucius honor on this matter BC he is a dick but not like that.

To think that Harry and Draco always pulled faces at each other in the great hall, gives me immense joy.
this rant is outside HP but I really really dislike when you have a male character that is so sexist/ has internalised misogyny in Canon and the fandom just decides to fully ignore that. They ship him with another guy (or he's in a relationship canonically with anothey guy) and now he's gay so it's okay 🫶........
I cannot count how many times the characters are so sexist and yet you don't find one person discussing it or criticizing it.. This why I dropped many fandoms aaah

hey do you think you could expand a bit on separating the art from the artist? clearly you’ve done it with jk rowling but what are your thoughts on it as a general idea?
okay, but you’re not going to like the answer.
here’s the truth: you can’t separate the art from the artist. not entirely. HP Lovecraft was an incredibly talented, but much more incredibly racist man. It would nice to say you don’t agree with his views but you can enjoy his works without that leaking in but…. well, I’m afraid that would be misunderstanding his books entirely.
Consider, for a second, that Lovecraft’s works were horror stories about extradimensional alien monsters having mutant children with humans, they were about invasions from distant monsters, they were about the purity of quaint European towns being tainted. Consider how this may have all been inflicted by the fact that he just simply despised anybody who wasn’t white. Consider how is opinions on “mixing the races” might fight into this; consider why being unable to maintain the “purity” of white Europe was the scariest thing of all to him.
This extends to Rowling too.
I would love to say we can just acknowledge that she is an awful, racist, antisemitic, transphobic person and then say “but at least her books are good,” because, well, they are, aren’t they? I would say so, for sure. But to suggest that one can separate her from them is…. ridiculous.
Consider why an antisemitic woman wrote about a species of goblins who live among us, but who for the most part keep to themselvesand are maybe a little bit oppressed by the institution, but also hold all the cards, all the money, run the banks.
Consider why a racist woman would write about a species of slaves who loved being enslaved, who enjoyed working for no pay, and cleaning up after humans, with the only small caveat of that they didn’t want to be beaten. Imagine that only the most radical of their species wanted to be free, and he still spent the rest of his life working for no pay and helping out a little white boy and his friends wherever he could. Consider why the only person in the story who thought they should be free, that they should have rights, was treated as an overzealous joke, who was acting against the wishes of those slaves who really LOVE being enslaved. Consider that Rowling went on to say that she kind of considers that girl to be black, now.
Consider why JK Rowling, an open and proud transphobe, wrote Rita Skeeter as having a large square jaw, thick “manly” hands, and dressing incredibly gaudily with the most obvious fake nails and fake teeth and fake hair and fake everything. Consider why a woman who tweets about how trans women are “foxes pretending to be hens to get in the hen house” might write this Rita Skeeter to then illegally transform her body in order to spy on children.
Harry Potter is full of Rowling’s bigotry, start to finish. Not even tangentially, like, “oh the goblins are bad, Rita Skeeter is bad, the house elves are bad, but most of it’s good!” because the deeper you dig and the longer you think the more you realise the entire story is based on her prejudices.
Harry Potter pretends to be an aracial story about found family, but if that were true, why are Harry’s distant ancestors important to who he is today even in the seventh book? Why does Harry have to live with his cousin and aunt and uncle? Because magic inherently prefers blood ties. Whilst Rowling was writing a story that seemed to say, “your heritage is not that important and doesn’t make you better than others” she was still writing a story about a boy who got all of his money through his bloodline, who was protected by living with his bloodline, no matter how evil, who was uniquely able to stop Voldemort because his bloodline passed down the invisibility cloak for generations and generations. Any step Harry takes he is compared to his perfect parents who were exactly like him — he looks just like his father, but he has his mother’s eyes, you know! — consider WHY a woman who is racist might’ve written a story like this. A story that on its surface, condemns a blood caste, but still in every step it takes, validates the idea that blood is thicker than water, and your geneological origin is what makes you special.
You can enjoy Harry Pottwr, of course you can. There are fantastic parts. I love a small group of teenagers deciding to become anarchies rebels and train to fight against fascism in secret. I love the murder mystery plots, I love how the series tells kids that it’s a good thing to be brave, and a good thing to fight injustice, and a good thing to challenge the government. But I cannot separate it from its author because it is such a product of its author. All of the structures of the world, the way things work in the universe, and drenched in Rowling’s beliefs, her bigotries. Of course they are: she made them.
Again. This doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy it. But I think we are past the day where we can pretend that disavowing a bigoted author is enough, and that that somehow separates the text from its bigotry. I think we are past the day where we can pretend that Harry Potter isn’t a deeply, inherently bigoted piece of media. Even the bits we love. I think we are beyond the day where we can truthfully pretend to separate it from her, because she is present through all of it. We MUST recognise its flaws. We MUST admit that she is in every part of it.
#this is a brilliant post that sets up an answer the anon’s question#which is that separating art from the artist isn’t about ignoring who the author was#but rather ignoring what the author tells you their work means#rowling will never say her work contains the things rightful pointed out here#but she doesn’t get to make that call#we all have eyes and can look for ourselves#and who she is is part of what we must look at (via @ratherembarrassing)
These are the kind of important analytical conversations we miss out on when we declare ‘No one can ever mention or think about the potterverse ever again forever because never talking about it will somehow disempower JKR here and now’
Don’t give her money, certainly - but talking about a book and movie series that dominated the zeitgeist for a decade is kind of important.

There are many reasons why I think Draco is so interesting, but if I had to choose one that is most compelling to me, it would be his contradictory nature. He is an emotional and sensitive person, yet he is good at occlumency. He is mean-spirited and loves to antagonize people, but he is also averse to violence. He wants to seem cool and aloof, but his natural personality is expressive and reactive. There are so many layers to his character, which makes him really fun to explore.
But I also think his contradictions make him quite difficult to understand, even for those close to him. In a drarry context, I don’t think Harry would ever fully understand him either, and there would always be sides of Draco that surprise him, even after years of knowing each other. But that might be a good thing for them because Harry thrives on curiosity, and Draco being a puzzle would keep things interesting for him.

Let's do 3, 10, 11, 17 for harry, I'm just curious
3. Least favorite canon thing about his character
This is a lil bit paradoxical because I love this trait of him from a watsonian perspective but from a Doylist one and as a lover of protagonists, I personally kinda dislike his passivity as a protagonist. and what I mean by that is the narrative sometimes choosing to prioritize or focus on Ron, Hermione or anyone else's opinions about problems and issues that matter over Harry's reaction. It's smtg like this
It's like when Harry knew about what Horace does to those House Elves (he tests poisons on them) and his first thought was wondering what Hermione will think about this. Bro, I don't give no fricks about Hermione????? I WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
In the house-elf discussion he comes off like an uncaring passive observer when bro SHOULD be about these discussions. He literally freed a house-elf and yet he talks only to tell Hermione to shut up and when will she move on. He was treated as a house-elf back in Privet Drive. What do you mean Harry is sick of Hermione talking.(Harry is lowkey done wrong by jkr in this)
Again, Harry's lack of opinion in things could actually indirectly give out his opinions on things and could be explained watsonianly. Ron or Hermione telling/shwoing us their opinions about a certain issue and Harry siding with either of them is another indirect way but still..
Harry is the protagonist. We're literally in his mind. He doesn't have to tell us his opinions, he just needs to have one and just *think it*. Those opinions don't even have to be right or good, or even coherent if you understand what I mean. (basically not "Harry thinks this is bad" or soemthing lik that) I just wanna see them. Can I know what you think Harry??? Why are you making things difficult for me? 🫠 I have to do mental gymnastics to know your stance on some things.
Which is fun but also just tell me aaah.
10- Could you be best friends with this character?
The question is would Harry be willing to be friends with me. Have you seen how he only started seeing Luna and Neville as friends and cool when they almost sacrificed themselves for him? Bro call me Usain Bolt the way I be bolting away so fast. Troll? leaves the kids fighting and runs away. Harry talking to snakes? I was already running when I saw Draco conjuring a snake. Umbridge? I dropped out of the school.
11- would you date this character?
Hi, Draco. No, I would not date your boyfriend. You can rest in peace.
17- What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?
I would say the only ship I'm indifferent about and by indifferent I mean I would never seek it out but it doesn't piss me off when I see it is probably Harry/Luna. It's cute.

Okay, I have a headcanon, that Severus is actually one of the few (or only) professors that can tell Fred and George apart. They don’t realise this for a long time, because he just calls both of them ‘Mr. Weasley’. Until one time George comes to sit Fred’s detention for him, due to whatever reasons. Severus barely looks at him, and just goes ‘Get out of my classroom, and get your brother here right now.’

For the character ask game:
3)Least favorite canon thing about Draco? With the caveat that you can't say teenage fascism (on account of it obviousness).
am so curious!
He's.. kinda cringy sometimes aaaaah
Cringy as in gives me second hand embarassment everytime he opens his mouth or does anything. And not in a cute way, but like in Harry's "shut up" way.
I realized one of the reasons why I love 6th year book Draco is because he doesn't talk in that book, and so there were less embarassimg moments. Same with 7th book Draco.
Tbf, being cringy is normal and realistic for a teenager (I would know 🫠) It's just is too much with Draco on top of that he's so shameless about it.

16, 17, 18, 19, 20 for draco pls, sorry if it's a bit much to ask
Thanks for the ask 💕
16- What's your least favorite ship for this character?
If I see any Draco/Not-Harry fic, mention, whatever, I click away. No ranking needed. I hate them all, buuuut if I had to choose it'll be two. Dramione and DracoNott.
17- What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?
Drastoria. Probably the only one. For some reason, I actually dislike it if the Drarry fic has Draco and Astoria have a bad marriage and then divorce. That boy, for me, is either never marrying her at all, she dies and he becomes a widow, or in a Lavender Marriage with her.
18- How about a relationship they have in Canon with another character that you admire?
.. So you mean Drarry? haha
Ok, this question is hard because that boy has no relationship in Canon. Pansy is debatable but honestly if they were dating, Harry would tell us.
The only worthy relationship in Canon is: Draco x Vanishing Cabinet. He saw that cabinet in the sixth book more than he probably saw Harry in all seven years.
The other admirable relationship is Draco x Drama.
19- How about a relationship they have in Canon that you don't like?
Definitely Draco × Getting physically assaulted every year.
20- Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
Myrtle 100%. Their dynamic is an underrated gem. Second is Hermione.
For anyone interested this is the asks post
