James: Do you think we’re soulmates in every universe?
Regulus: I definitely strangled you in one
James:
Regulus:
Regulus: To death. Not in the other way.
It’s November 8 2016. Election Day. And you didn’t vote. You knew that trump is evil “but Hillary is just as bad”, you said. You hate both of them, so you refused to vote. “Neither deserves to win”, you said and by the way, it’s rigged anyway, right? You refuse to play that game and you feel quite good about it. You’re a rebel. It’s your kind of protest against the corrupt system!
You come home from work, with a smile on your face. It looks like your protest works: Some of your friends also didn’t vote or wrote in the name of a third candidate. You feel really good. Maybe you and your friends are enough to change the system! And if not, well, you’ve seen presidents change before and it never had too many consequences in your life.
You sit down in front of your tv, reach for the remote and your phone buzzes. It’s a text from one of your friends, the weird one who begged you to vote for Hillary - and your smile falls off your face “It looks like Trump will probably win. I’m so scared. My sister is crying.”
You suddenly remember that your friend’s sister is trans.
You turn on the tv and you can’t believe your eyes. The third candidate one of your other friends voted for is at 4%! That’s great, isn’t it? But wait.. Hillary is currently behind Trump? By 6%? Oh. You didn’t expect that.
Another text. A co-worker. “Two people called in sick. I think it’s because they’re scared to go outside in case Trump wins..”
One of your co-workers is black, one is Muslim.
You stare at the tv and you can’t believe what you hear. “Trump won.” It was a head-at-head race and Hillary almost won - but only almost. You can’t believe it. None of your friends were going to vote for him!
You want to go outside to think about something else - but you stop as you hear your neighbor crying on the phone. “I’m so scared i’ll lose the custody right when our marriage gets annulled”.
You suddenly remember that your neighbors are a gay couple with a cute little daughter.
But Hillary would’ve been just as bad, right?
sometimes you read a fanfiction to distract and enjoy yourself but you end up reading a dialogue or a sentence that fundamentally changes who you are as a person and how you perceive the world around you, and honestly i wouldn't have it any other way
James: "I just tried making a reservation at the library."
Lily: "You don't need a reserv-"
James: "But I couldn't get one."
Remus, already knows what's coming: "Please shut up."
James: "It was fully...."
Marlene, softly: "Don't."
James: "Booked."
Remus, Lily and Marlene:
Sirius: *cackling*
everyone at hogwarts knows about harrys gay dads but some people hear about these two older gay men and for the first time in their lives feel seen. some people, like a certain fruity slytherin kid.
basically draco would have been much less of a twat if he had a positive gay influence in his life, or at the very least someone to tell him he doesnt have to listen to his dad
Okay so I may have named a star DRARRY so now we can seriously say that it’s written in the stars.
regulus: I mean, if you're asking me do I love Potter the answer is yes but I just- I don't think its normal to want to kill you're boyfriend, you know?
Remus: oh yeah, no it definately is normal
Regulus: really
Remus: sure, everyone has that time once a month or so when they just feel the distinct urge to source a dagger and violently murder their significant other
Regulus: you're sure?
Remus: yeah totally, Lilly has threatened all of her girlfriend with an axe at least once
Regulus: phew! Thats a relief.
Remus: you know one time i stabbed sirius in the hand with a sharpened quill in class
Regulus:...what
Remus: what
