I Seriously Cannot Emphasize Enough How Disgusting It Is That In Probably The Most Mainstream Adaptation

i seriously cannot emphasize enough how disgusting it is that in probably the most mainstream adaptation of wuthering heights since the first film in 1939, emerald fennel and her casting director(s) have decided to whitewash heathcliff. again. not only is casting jacob elordi a criminal offense because he arguably can't even act the part, but it's even worse because that role should have gone to an actor of color instead. heathcliff is explicitly written to be dark skinned, he is extremely heavily coded as black and romani, and so for emerald fennel to cast jacob elordi is an insult of the highest fucking order.

not only that, but the 2011 adaptation by andrea arnold was the first film to have heathcliff be played by black actors, so tell me why more than 10 years later we're back to casting white men?

i knew from the outset when they said "emerald fennel is directing wuthering heights" that it would be a joke but i didn't realize this was going to take the cake as the worst adaptation of wuthering heights in all of history

"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

I need y’all to understand that every time that somebody who makes $10,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $30,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $50,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $100,000 a year thinks that YES EVEN somebody who makes $150,000 a year is the real enemy

…a billionaire wins and we all lose.

And every time that somebody who makes $150,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $100,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $50,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $30,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $10,000 a year

…a billionaire wins and we all lose.

Privilege and comfort rises with income, obvi. It’s not all “the same.” But please zoom the fuck out and look at the whole picture. The WHOLE picture.

If anyone wants to learn about caste and the anti-caste struggle in India, Ambedkar is the place to start. Here’s the complete works of Ambedkar in ePub and PDF formats!

I do like your idea of Harry not becoming an auror to instead be a professor at Hogwarts. If you'd like, I could share my personal headcanon and see what you think of it.

I like to imagine Harry becoming an auror but really only staying for a few years at the most. As you've said and the books have shown, he chafes under authority and perfers to do things his own way. So, he'd leave and become a private investigator. It's the natural progression from schoolboy mysteries to hardboiled detective thrillers.

Of course, after many years of adventures Harry would eventually retire to become a professor at Hogwarts like you said. I just really like the noir genre and Harry would really fit in it. It would also be a chance to explore the dark, seedy underbelly of crime within the Wizarding World beyond the larger-than-life dark lords Harry's been dealing with.

Oh, I love this headcanon.

Like, private investigator Harry (occasionally joined by Auror Ron, Hermione from the Magical Beings Office, and the love interest of your choice) solving mysteries sounds super fun. Like, I'd watch that TV show.

And, like, Harry is Harry Freaking Potter so no one would tell him he isn't supposed to be an Auror without being an Auror, and Kingsley would just let Harry do whatever while his minister — especially cause Harry gets things done much quicker than the DMLE ever could due to the overhead bureaucracy. And like, Harry is rich, so he doesn't really need the money so he could take cases no one pays him for or be picky about what cases he takes and when. I'd also like to imagine he drops by Hogwarts as like, a guest lecturer once in a while before officially becoming a professor there. And Ron/Kingsley could bring him over to teach in Auror training without him being an Auror.

Harry as essentially wizard Batman without the cape before retiring to be a Hogwarts Professor, and later headmaster sounds epic. I just love this headcanon so much. I might just adopt it, honestly. And it could definitely be fun to write as a detective case of the week kind of story.

Hiding in plain sight. But what the eye sees can be changed
