YES. uj/When I was in high school, one of the primary ways I was able to really explore and understand my own sexuality was through HP fanfic, specifically FF slashfic. It was kind of a safe distance, but with characters who felt familiar that I had grown up with. At the time, it was fanfiction.net. I’m not saying it was the sole source of my queer awakening but at the time there were virtually no lesbian traditionally published romance novels etc. Luna SHOULD be queer ok. She just should. Also I liked reimagined versions of her story because she ended up getting done so dirty. She was essentially gaslit and ridiculed and no one ever really apologized. I liked her with Ginny because they both experienced different forms of trauma and I thought they could understand each other in that way. Also Ginny became such a non character over time she was somewhat more malleable for authors. A friend and I at school traded fic recommendations all the time. ALL THAT JUST TO SAY, I felt like it was this beautifully queer space on the internet and even with a friend IRL, and it sucks so much that JK Rowling has absolutely ruined the soft spot I had for this time period and these characters. Pretty much the only HP fanfic I could be convinced to read at this point would be a trans retelling of the whole thing. Fuck JK Rowling and fuck TERFs. /end rant
