Citing “no fucks left to give,” J.K. Rowling has decided that all of her Harry Potter characters are gay, and “all your damn gay ships” are now canon.
In a shocking Twitter rant on Saturday morning, Rowling bent to pressure over LGBT ships like Scorbus (Scorpius + Albus Severus), Drarry (Draco + Harry), and Wolfstar (Sirius + Remus) by making “all that gay stuff” canon.
“Not enough gay characters for you? Well, how’s this next tweet for a fucking bombshell,” Rowling said to precede her decree that 100% of the characters in her Wizarding World like people of their own sex.
The sudden change in sexuality for hundreds of characters is sure to send shockwaves through a fandom that’s spent the past 20 years thinking that literally all but one Harry Potter character was straight.
Rowling’s repeated use of the F-bomb on Saturday might suggest she’s grown tired of hearing about the lack of representation in her series. The backlash came to a head last summer when The Cursed Child missed a perfect opportunity to introduce canon’s first gay relationship.
Those who’ve shipped Ron + Hermione, Harry + Ginny, Draco + Hermione, Scorpius + Rose are currently losing their minds over on Tumblr, and are chalking this Twitter rant up to “Rowling officially losing her mind.”
“Jo desperately needs to grab a wand and yell ‘accio brain,'” said one Nuna (Neville + Luna) shipper.
