It’s wild how like… JKR is so skilled at so many aspects of writing, especially in little character moments, but when it comes to implications of throwaway lines she just… not a SINGLE thought.
Like in Chamber of Secrets, when Harry is talking to Tom / Voldemort and is like, you Framed Hagrid, Tom is like, yeah he was always trying to raise monsters,
he says that Hagrid tried to raise werewolf cubs under his bed like…
Hi! I’m so sorry, but I don’t know where to find a post like that. I feel like I know what you’re talking about, but I have no idea where it came from.

did you know that in 1953 eisenhower issued an executive order which banned gay people from being employed in government
and it was specifically to root out lesbians who enjoyed the job security of government work
“To protect their careers, lesbian government workers moderated their behavior to avoid suspicion. They refused to socialize with other lesbians in public, attended social functions with gay men as their ‘dates,’ and carefully chose their wardrobes and makeup to project a feminine persona. Male employees who resented reporting to a female boss could trigger an investigation into her sexuality.” – Robert J Corber “Cold War Femme”
this era was called the lavender scare and was both a direct result of mccarthyism and the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness during ww2. over 10,000 lesbians and gay men lost their jobs and as a result the daughters of bilitis (the first ever lesbian activist group in the u.s.) formed in order to protect themselves and gay men
Your ace identity may make it hard for you to figure out any romantic attraction you may experience, and that’s okay. It may make it hard to differentiate between romantic attraction or platonic attraction or other kinds of attraction, but you’ll get there eventually. You can still experiment with your identity, although you shouldn’t force yourself into uncomfortable or unsafe situations. And once you’ve found something you like, you don’t have to be 100% sure you fit a label before you start to use it.
There’s no time limit to discovering yourself. It’s never too early or too late. Even if your path is a little harder or a little longer, you still made it to the end! And I’m proud of you for that.
