daniel radcliffe calling out j.k. rowling on her bullshit is big dick energy
One thing I have not seen mentioned in light of this statement, perhaps because it’s just well known or perhaps because it’s been forgotten, is that Radcliffe has dealt with this before. About 10 years ago his friendship with a trans musician named Our Lady J became known to the tabloids. They immediately published sensational articles calling her a transvestite and a drag queen (she was not), and speculating about the nature of their relationship. He responded to insinuating questions by simply being aggressively positive about what a great musician and good friend she was. They did at least one interview together for a queer magazine. This at a time when trans people were even more marginalized than now, and when he as an actor was finishing Harry Potter and under a lot of pressure to ~manage his image~ as he transitioned to an adult career.
TL;DR - Radcliffe has a record of not just saying nice things, but supporting trans people in his life.
The most unrealistic thing in the Harry Potter series isn’t the moving pictures or the flying it’s the fact that no one told Draco and Harry to “just kiss already” during their bickering.
no because I woke up at 4am to the news that mgg and Daniel Radcliffe had dinner together last night?! and now I’m at the airport and I’m still not over ir!

I’ve watched “Kill Your Darlings” and I generally liked it, though it was a little odd. I have to confess – I found this movie thanks to Drarry videos – because the main character is portrayed by Daniel Radcliff, he has dark curly hair and wears glasses and (maybe a spoiler!) his partner (sort of) is blond so… Well, before that movie I knew exactly two things about Allen Ginsberg that he was a poet and that he was openly gay in the fifties, which is very tough. This movie turned out to be not actually about Allen Ginsberg, it’s more of a story of (Spoilers!) this murder in the park told through his eyes. I guess my problem is, that watching a story based on real events which you know nothing about and have to real Wikipedia afterwards is a little weird. But again – I liked it: the performance, the cut is very clever, for example when they are showing their drug-trips and mix them with reality, or when they started from the end. I also enjoyed learning at least something about the Beat Generation, because before I’ve only heard the name but never actually looked it up. So, a good movie, by the way showing again that Daniel Radcliff is definitely not stuck in Harry Potter role.
*Thinks men are trash because women and femmes are systematically oppressed through patriarchy*
*Thinks maybe men aren’t trash because Newt Scamander, T'Challa, Jack Pearson, and Randall Pearson all exist*
*Remembers these men are all fictional characters and I rarely meet men in real life as extraordinary as ones on film, and rarely see women on film as extraordinary as ones I know in real life.*
