Totally Knuts - Consider

Why do you have to be
So small minded
And why can't you see
You're so misguided
The shape of the world isn't what you think
You think that by existing, I'm standing on the brink
Of desolation, chaos, and despair
I promise you, I'm not going anywhere
Maybe consider that what others do
Doesn't even have a direct effect on you
You know that we could maybe live in harmony
If you'd just listen...
If you'd start trying...
To understand me
Not everything has to be a fight
In fact, it's even okay to realize you weren't right
Apologizing won't kill you, I swear
And it costs zero dollars to just sit there and see
The shape of the world isn't what you think
You think that by existing, I'm standing on the brink
Of desolation, chaos, and despair
I promise you, I'm not going anywhere
Maybe consider that what others do
Doesn't even have a direct effect on you
You know that we could maybe live in harmony
If you'd just listen...
If you'd start trying...
To understand me

Kai DellaVeechia - Hero

Hero.
What is a hero?
“A person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” That’s the definition, anyway, but some words mean more than just their definition.
I’d say that authors are heroes. I mean, they may not wear capes or save people from fires, but they’re heroes in their own way. A hero, as I see it, is just someone who helps someone else in some important way. Books provide somewhere to go, a place to rest, to relax, to grow stronger. They can give you a home, a community.
Anyone can be a hero. And for a long time, you were one. You helped so many people, gave them so much strength. These books mean so much to so many people. While only a bit of a hero to me, you were a massive hero to my mom, and to a lot of the people that I care about.
But the past tense is important here.
Because you were. You helped so many people, gave them the strength that they needed to be themselves. Do you know how important these books are for people?
And now you want to take them away. You want to spoil them, ruin them with your hate.
But you don’t get to do that. You don’t get to make something so important and then take it away. You don’t. You don’t get to do that to us. A community is more than it’s creator.
You say you don’t hate us. You say that you support us, and yet everything you do says otherwise. You’re spreading so much toxicity that it’s hard to breathe. We keep hoping you’re going to be better, I keep hoping you're going to be better, and yet you never are.
It was easier to look the other way. To hear things, but excuse them as not a big deal. But we can’t anymore.
You just keep pushing the blade down deeper, making the wound larger and larger, more and more painful. Why won’t you just listen?
You say you don’t hate us. That you support us. And yet you do this. You never learn, you never apologize. You use one of the most negative stereotypes of all time, one that is a complete lie, and you say you still care?
Stop lying to us. We know you don’t, we know you’re lying. So can you just shut up?
We’re telling you that you’re in the wrong, but instead of listening, you say you’re not.
We keep thinking that if it can't get worse, that you can’t say or do anything more awful, and yet here we are. At a new low. Do you even care? I really don’t think you do.
You’re not just sharing your “opinions” anymore. You’re causing real damage. You’re going to cause people to get hurt, to get killed because you won’t stop being a baby and just listen to us.
If you’re going to keep spreading your hate, at least stop trying to lie about it. You do hate us. If you didn’t, you would listen, realize your mistake, and work to fix it. But you don’t, you never you.
So we’re gonna move on. Without you. We’re ready to learn, to grow. I’d be lying if I said that you’re not going to be missed. But you the way you are right now isn’t who we miss.

Have you ever found yourself
Doing something unexplained?
Have you looked inside yourself,
Found something you cannot name?
I never thought
That this was the start of the fall
I never thought
About it at all
I’m finding I’m more
More than I knew
This part of me was always there
But the words are now, too
I’m finding I’m more
More than I knew
Sometimes it comes by owl
Sometimes it comes from inside of you
If it had come
In a letter
Maybe I would have
Been prepared better
When I grow up, I will be strong
I’ll find my peace, I will belong
I’m finding I’m more
More than I knew
This part of me was always there
But the words are now, too
I’m finding I’m more
More than I knew
Sometimes it comes by owl
Sometimes it comes from inside of you
Sometimes it comes by owl
But it’s always been there inside of you

Joanne, Joanne, Joanne, Joanne
I’m begging of you, please don’t tweet no more
Joanne, Joanne, Joanne, Joanne
Leave your transphobia at the door
Your story is beyond compare
A magic boy with unruly hair
With a lightning scar and eyes of emerald green
These books are like a breath of spring
The story so inspiring
But we simply cannot with you
Joanne
You ain’t woke, you are asleep
And there’s nothing I can do to keep
From crying, when you send a tweet
Joanne
Why is it you can’t understand
How many women can be trans
You’re blinded by your ignorance
Joanne
Joanne, Joanne, Joanne, Joanne
I’m begging of you, please don’t tweet no more
Joanne, Joanne, Joanne, Joanne
Please leave your transphobia at the door
Justice and community,
These themes you seem to not agree
With, disappointing us and Dan
Joanne
I had to have this talk with you
But my fandom don’t depend on you
We’ll take it from here for you
Joanne
Joanne, Joanne, Joanne, Joanne
I’m begging of you, please don’t tweet no more
Joanne, Joanne, Joanne, Joanne
Leave your transphobia at the door
Joanne
Trans rights, y’all.

We are self governed. Reject authority
Of JKR and the WB.
Protect each other from these our enemies
This is fandom autonomy
Welcome to the fandom autonomous zone
Where we can make this story all our own
Without the creator we’re finally free
So come on won’t you sing with me?
We are self governed. Reject authority
Of JKR and the WB.
Protect each other from these our enemies
This is fandom autonomy
You are valid, yes we believe
We fight for your rights, we’ll never leave
We’re building a future, welcome home
The fandom autonomous zone
The story was never perfect
and neither was she
lets elevate creator voices
and let the fandom be free
let the fandom be free
oh let us all be free

Your mind is full of hate
Just another hypocrite for your own sake
Stuck in the distant fucking past
reputation sinking really fast
Reputation fades away
Now all you need is a well-placed controversy
A False reality
You’re just making enemies and it’s time to pay the price
Flew so high, but now you’ll fall flat from the sky
And now we say
Fuck you
Could have learned, but you stay in the dark
Play the victim while being a shark
Well everyone can see you now
Well everyone can see you now
Apologize right now mugglefucker
Apologize right now, your last chance
It’s easy to climb out,
Yet you dig your own grave deeper
You’re just making enemies and it’s time to pay the price
Flew so high, but now you’ll fall flat from the sky
And now we say
Fuck you
Your influence fades away
now go
Write another story based on dated tropes
now go
Nice try, goodnight mugglefucker
Too late to say sike
Right now
We’re all waiting for you to realise
That all your tropes are based on lies
That your writing barely fucking flies
Or remain a bigot all your life
Our first and last goodbye

The first time that I felt the wind in my hair
Pushed off the ground, and cut my way right through the air By myself, above it all, moving so fast
My thoughts are wild, my thoughts are free, I am…
I am invincible. Nobody gets me, nobody gets me down there, I am soaring I am invincible. Fire in my heart. Strength in my veins up here I'm not such a little girl
They didn't know, they didn't see all I could do
You underestimated me, I'll steal your brooms
She's too young, she's a girl, just let us be
Well watch me fly, watch me, I am...
I am invincible. Nobody gets me, nobody gets me down there, I am soaring I am invincible. Fire in my heart. Strength in my veins up here I'm not such a little girl
I'm not such a little girl
I'm not such a little girl
I'm not your little girl
We’re not your little girl
I am invincible. Nobody gets me, nobody gets me down there, I am soaring I am invincible. Fire in my heart. Strength in my veins up here I'm not such a little girl

Joanne K Rowling
Hates me and my closest friends
But we don’t need her
Harry Potter’s trans
I don’t care what Rowling says
Let me live my life
Representation
Isn’t really hard to do
Unless you’re Joanne
Harry Potter’s great
It will always warm my heart
Jo cannot stop me
Many flashing lights
Wizard rock is playing loud
This is how joy feels
I love Snitchwitches
They remind me of my friends
Both are total snacks

Aguamenti - Unspeakable

[Ministry Employee Talking/Intro]
Welcome to the Department of Mysteries
You are assigned to study, gender and sexuality.
A note here: there's complexity that we wish you to seek.
And a warning: do not speak about your findings.
[Aguamenti laughing]
[Verse 1]
Yeah right, Aguamenti here to spill potions
Causing commotion, whistleblower in motion
Yeah I got emotions, here to cause explosions
Got a bunch mysteries to explain & open
Like the great chamber of secrets
Curious about what the sequence
Is to get in to find Slytherins serpent
It’s urgent, really need info that’s current
Excuse me, nevermind you study that curtain
I’m not here for death, I’m here to be fresh
Show off my shaved head & sit at my desk
Get the quill out, its time to write about
How wizards & witches are fluid no doubt
Mirrors looking back at wixes very proud
For standing tall, being out is no small feat
Gender being limitless is to feel complete
The splendor of queer love is oh so sweet
There’s Merlin, who never conformed
To what was expected, he struck a chord
Or the story of Grindelwald & Dumbledore
Though it’s fucked up, it can’t be ignored
It’s unspeakable, conceivable to hide
It’s unspeakable, unreasonable to lie
It’s unspeakable, believable & realized
[Ministry Employee Talking]
Wh-what are you doing?
Are you, are you performing in here?
This this isn’t what you were hired for!
Get down from there! right now!
Don’t make me curse you, I mean it!
Merlin’s pants! I’m being serious!
Get down!
Get down now!
Now!
[Verse 2]
Expelliarmus! there’s no way to stop this,
I got your wand now, this snake is swift
Got veritaserum dripping on my lips
Can’t hide truth, like a sphynx in the mist
This department is a maze, doors leading away
To strange rooms, full of fumes makes me sway
In a haze it feels funny, what the fuck is that brain
Time to run, gotta feel the groove to change
The prophecy is that Hooch flies with speed
Celebrates her pride everyday of the week
Viktor is trans lookin for a snitch to seek
Draco is enby, with fits so sleek
Levels of the gay in the world increase
It’s unspeakable, conceivable to hide
It’s unspeakable, unreasonable to lie
It’s unspeakable, believable & realized
[Ministry Employee Talking]
(breathing heavy)
Finally!
I’ve caught up to you
You’re fired, get the fuck out
You’re fired!
Get the fuck out!
[Aguamenti laughing then speaks]
Aguamenti out!

Jami Schafer - The Queen

Long live the queen
They shout
We walk past them
Into the castle
Long live the queen
It echoes through the empty halls
We look around
We find the throne room
Long live the queen
Dust coats the walls
Some in our group
Are shocked
Some
Relieved
Others
Resigned
Long live the queen
We leave
We try to tell the crowd
There is no queen
We don't know
If she was ever here
Long live the queen
Some hear us
Ignore us
Some listen to us
And join us
Long live the queen
As we grow in numbers
Our troupe tells stories
How we learned
Long live the queen
Was it when she
Talked about North America
Or when she
Stood by
As an abuser joined
Her cabinet
Was it
When she
Clung To
The wrong turf
Or when
She refused
To give credit
To the communities
Who believe so much in her?
Or was it something else
What made you see?
Long live the queen
Does she know
Her reign is waning
Does she know
Our troupe grows
Long live the queen
We start
Our own government
Our own democracy
Try to correct
Her mistakes
And ours
Long live the queen

I know, I know
I've been a little distant
Staring to the middle distance
It's my mental health condition
I know, I know
Improving should be my mission
But I'm just wishin' I could go back to better days
You had downed all of the wine
I was drowning in the rye
We were drunk and we were screeching 'In The End'
And at no point in my mind
Was I sad to have you by my side
I hope that someday we can make amends
I know, I know
My mental health is sprawling
My recovery's appalling
Kinda looks like I've been stalling
I know, I know
I just need to find my calling
But I keep falling back, recalling better days
You had downed all of the wine
I was drowning in the rye
We were drunk and we were screeching 'In The End'
And at no point in my mind
Was I sad to have you by my side
I hope that someday we can make amends
I hope that someday we can make amends
I hope that someday we can make amends

This is the metamorphmagus song
I wrote it to show you who we are is never wrong
I'm a fan of the fandom
This is our memorandum
We are the ones who belong
There's no space for hate in the order
Take it from a magic nonconformer
You're fired, you're out
It's our series now
We are the ones who belong
The world is wrong about so many things
We've got Voldemort to fight
So you can take a seat
We're up to no good
We'll be who you should have been
This is the metamorphmagus song
I sing it to show you who we are is never wrong
I'm a fan of the fandom
This is our memorandum
We are the ones who belong
We're trans and we're queer
Our place is here
We are the ones who belong

Our Epilogue
Between two numbers the platform lies
Where journeys await and the old story dies.
The stories and memories are those of the past
Step out of the shadow your hatred casts.
It’s time for a change, a new story unfolds
Where your stigmas and standards are not in the molds.
So, We keep going.
We keep growing.
We get back up.
We’ll stand up!
We continue to create.
We continue to educate.
Even when we are pushed down
Ignored, erased, we will continue on
we become like
The phoenix rising from the ashes of your bigotry.
We will not conform or be denied
The story, the safety your world once provided—
Still provides. Because we have each other,
we have community, we won’t let you take another
Another story, another world, another voice.
It is no longer your choice
Lost in the lessons that you forgot,
This is our epilogue.

Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Where do we go when we know what we know
Where do we go from here
It’s our choices
Far more than our abilities
But we must choose
Between what is right and what is easy
I trusted you
I swore to believe
I learned from you
And now I can’t see
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Where do we go when we know what we know
Where do we go from here
I am brave
I am smart
I am resilient
Kindness resides inside my soul
I trusted you
I swore to believe
I learned from you
And now I can’t see
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Where do we go now we know what we know
Where do we go from here
We go on together
We go on together
We go on together
We go on together
Where do we go from here (We go on together)
Where do we go from here (We go on together)
Where do we go when we know what we know
We go on together
We go on
Together.
