Do you perchance have any headcanons for Luis? No one writes for him, and as much as I love Leon, I love my sassy ladies man Luis even more ๐ญโค๏ธ
i LOVE you for requesting this. Hell yes, I love my sassy man so so much.
Crushing on Luis Sera headcannons
โ*:.๏ฝก.
โ
First things first, letโs elaborate on the type of man he is. Heโs a romantic one, thatโs for sure. He loves flirty one-liners and sappy quotes.
โ
Being flirty and a self-proclaimed โladiesโ manโ doesnโt mean he wonโt be loyal, he is MORE than loyal if thatโs possible. Heโs the definition of a true gentleman.
โ
Luis is well-experienced, heโs been in a few relationships, but most of them ended badly. Mainly because of his involvement with Umbrella and lack of quality time. His job consumed his life.
โ
That being said:
โ
You met when you got assigned to his team, both of you were researching the same parasite, so you had to transfer to his laboratory.
โ
Anyway, as soon as he saw you, he internally fell to his knees.
โ
He wasnโt going to tell you that, though. #proudman
โ
Luis had never met someone who matched his energy so well, who ACTUALLY flirted back and cracked jokes at inappropriate times. He was so fond of you.
โ
โSo, you come here often?โ He asked with a dumb smirk.
โ
โOh yeah, all the time. I just LOVE operating on disgusting parasites. Yโknow what? I think I was born to do this. Right here, at your laboratory. Itโs heaven.โ
โ
โCanโt help it, cariรฑo. Iโm one good lookinโ angel. So are you though, so are you.โ
โ
He loved your dry humor and your ability to sound so deadpan while cracking the most hilarious jokes.
โ
You loved spending time with him, especially when you werenโt researching plagues and stuff you thought was gross. He was actually fascinating.
โ
You were intrigued at first, but then you were full-on crushing on him.
โ
You werenโt going to tell him that, though.
โ
But yes, the more you got to know him, the closer you wanted to be. You started taking note of his likes and dislikes.
โ
He liked smoking. Loved, even. And being the clingiest man you had ever met.
โ
He disliked getting told to shut up and getting called โdoctorโ. He wasnโt a doctor, but a biologist. Yet, you liked annoying him with that title.
โ
The moment he realized he was in love was when both of you went on a coffee break, and you pulled out a cigarette. It surprised him, he swore you didnโt smoke.
โ
โAy, you smoke too?โ
โ
โNah, bought them just for you, Dr. Sera.โ
โ
The fact that you carried cigarettes for him (because he always managed to forget or lose his) almost sent him into oblivion. He felt like he was going to cry his heart out and fall to his knees once again.
โ
Since you gave him cigarettes (all the time) he wanted to do something for you too, and you just happened to love books. So, he was committed to finding out what your favorite book was.
โ
It was Don Quixote.
โ
Oh god, was it life-changing for him. He had read the book before, being one of his favorites since it reminded him of his childhood. He decided to re-read it just for you. He wanted to be able to talk about all sorts of stuff, especially stuff you liked.
โ
But maybe it got a little out of hand because he would NOT stop referencing the book every chance he got. You found it rather funny. And they say romance is dead.
โ
Luis did numerous things to get your attention, he was a master at multitasking. He had you on his mind even when he was busy working with plagas. Which wasnโt very pleasant actually.
โ
The closer you both became, the flirtier you both got. You started calling him handsome, and he called you โMi amorโ
โ
It was a mutual inside joke at this point, but both of you wanted it to be very much real and not just some jest.
โ
One time, you called him handsome too many times in a day. He couldnโt stop smiling.
โ
โKeep calling me handsome, and Iโll start believing you got a little crush on me.โ He said.
โ
โYeah, well, keep calling me mi amor and I might just kiss you.โ You replied.
โ
That caught him off guard but it shut him up, yet he couldnโt stop thinking about it, maybe if he thought about it long enough youโd read his mind and kiss him. After all, Luis was head over heels for you, as you were for him.
โ
As your research came to an end, Luis knew he was losing time. He needed to ask you out or at least tell you how he felt, but he was never really the best at confessing his feelings, even in past relationships. Heโd never felt this way about someone, you were so different, it had to be different with you. He desperately needed to be with you.
โ
โGuess this is where we part ways, handsome.โ You told him when you finished packing your stuff, you were being transferred back to your laboratory soon.
โ
โDonโt go, corazรณn. Letโs uh, letโs elope.โ He joked, earning a sweet laugh from you. He would sure miss your laugh. โWe make a good team.โ
โ
Everything he said made your heart skip a beat. You wished you couldโve stayed longer, but your boss was too demanding. Not only that, but Luis didnโt want you to go. He felt so happy when you were around, and he wished he had met you earlier.
โ
But in the end, he swallowed his pride and asked you out right there. Now or never was his motto, he needed to be true to himself for once. โKnow what cariรฑo? Iโve been thinking and maybe we should-โ
โ
โYes cariรฑo, Iโll go on a date with you. But first I need to turn this in. See you later, guapo.โ He was flabbergasted, took him a few minutes to process what had just happened. It was safe to say he left his laboratory with the biggest smile ever and more swooned than he already was.
โ*:.๏ฝก.
sorry i took so long omg anyway hope u like it!! I love him sooo much im gonna start writing more luis content ๐ญ i also hope more people start writing for him!! Pls!!

Dr Charlotte Proudman writes: โTaylor Swift, one of the most successful women of my generation is subject to fake pornographic images of her. It reminds all women, we are seen first and foremost through our bodies, and men have the power to sexually degrade even the most powerful women โ on and offline.
All those people getting off on fake pornographic content of Taylor Swift being sexually violated are revealing precisely what they really want to do to her.
Make no mistake, this is why rape culture is endemic in our society.โ

As a barrister, I see many victims of domestic abuse being sued for โdefamationโ, for daring to speak about what their perpetrator did to them. Meanwhile, the world questions whether theyโre a โreal victimโ | Charlotte Proudman
โIf she was scared to death, why didnโt she leave?โ asked everyoneโs favourite Hollywood heartthrob-turned-bad-boy Johnny Depp in court.
He was talking, of course, about his ex-wife Amber Heard, who he is suing for libel in the US over an article she wrote for the Washington Post in 2018. During her testimony, the actress has accused Depp of physical and sexual abuse.
If Deppโs phrase feels familiar, thatโs because it is: survivors, families of victims and domestic abuse campaigners have worked tirelessly to stop society using such victim-blaming tropes. Instead of asking a woman why she didnโt escape abuse, ask the man why he abused her in the first place. That would be a good place to start.
Escaping an abusive relationship is one of the most dangerous times for victims. Just because the relationship ends, it doesnโt mean the abuse ends. Post-separation coercive and controlling behaviour is one of the most insidious and corrosive forms of abuse that Iโve ever seen.
Depp lost his defamation claim in the High Court in London in 2020. He was greeted with adoring fans throwing roses at him, blowing kisses and holding supportive banners. I stood next to him after we passed through security, he smiled and I gave him my best dead eyes.
The judge later found that Depp physically assaulted Heard (including headbutting her, tearing out clumps of her hair, and holding her by her neck) and she said she had feared for her life. Depp is alleged to have sent texts to his friend, Paul Bettany, threatening to burn Heard and โf*** her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she is deadโ.
It is telling that Depp is dragging Heard through a second high-profile trial in the US, hoping for a better outcome. He is suing her for a whopping $50m โ this looks to me like serious financial control.
Both cases in England and the US centre on silencing Heard from speaking about the abuse she says he inflicted on her. I see many victims of domestic abuse being sued for โdefamationโ, for daring to speak about what their perpetrator did to them.
The world sits in judgment, questioning whether Heard is a โreal victimโ. Does she look like a victim? Does she speak like a victim? Does she cry like a victim?
Where are the headlines asking if Depp is a perpetrator, judging him on every move that he makes? There are no special measures in court โ Depp sits there smiling, while Heard relives abuse and trauma.
Deppโs lawyer is used as a pawn, a weapon to revictimise her for the worldโs entertainment. The court has become a tool for a perpetrator to continue his abuse and control. What message does that send out to victims? Victims who donโt have money, fame, photos of injuries and texts threatening to harm them? How do they think they will be treated by the justice system?
The court is asked to pathologise Heard as being โabnormalโ, โmentally illโ and โmadโ. All too often, victims of domestic abuse are labelled with sexist diagnoses such as โhistrionic and borderline personality disordersโ by psychologists, rather than understanding that they are suffering with trauma caused by domestic abuse. Heard is no exception.
Dr Curry, a psychologist, suggested that Heard could have two personality disorders, while Dr Hughes diagnosed her with post-traumatic stress disorder. But why isnโt Depp pathologised? Where is his mental health diagnosis?
After all, this is a man who explained his abusive behaviour by calling himself โthe monsterโ. Every headline that has commented on Heardโs mental health has stigmatised people with mental health challenges, while simultaneously undermining the credibility of victims who come forward.
Heard is due to be cross-examined by Deppโs team. I can tell you now how that will play out because I see it every day in courtrooms: โWhy didnโt you say no? How drunk were you? You provoked him. You were abusive. Itโs your fault.โ
These questions blame the victim and render the perpetrator invisible. Itโs a tactic that continues to be very effective and persuasive, because it plays on all of the myths we are taught about how abuse works. She lies; heโs a hero.
So, when I see hashtags trending on twitter like, โAmberHeardIsALiarโ, I realise how deeply entrenched misogyny is in our society. It doesnโt matter that there is a High Court decision proving that Depp assaulted Heard, it wouldnโt matter if the world watched Depp physically assault Heard in public, people would still support Depp. Why is he above the law?
Is it because Depp is the definition of masculinity? Every man wanted to be him at one point. If even he can be a perpetrator of domestic abuse, with all the fame, glory, money and power that he has, it sends out a strong message to men that anyone can be a perpetrator of violence. Anyone can fall from grace โ even you.

Hello! I noticed you recently used the radfem tag on a post. Being a HP author, are you aware of the message this sends considering the source content for this fandom?
I debated whether or not to answer this, as I am well aware of the hornet's nest I'm kickingโparticularly on this site. However, I believe the contemporary rhetoric that assumes one's support of 'x' means they must believe 'y' to be reductive, dishonest, and particularly troubling when it comes to silencing the voices of women. It's the very same false equivalence that has led large swathes of the population into claiming that support of Palestine = antisemitism (including, ironically, JK Rowling).
I consider myself a radical feminist and I won't censor that simply because I also happen to like a magical school kid's book series written by a conservative moron. Does this mean I agree with everything every single radical feminist has ever said? No. But I believe that sex-based oppression is alive and well and can be seen most prominently in law-enforcement response to rape and domestic violence, abortion rights in many countries, access to maternity leave, research into women's health, household labour distribution and the commercial objectification of women (be that advertising or pornography).
Does this mean I think sex-based oppression is the only form of oppression? No. Does this mean I associate myself with TERFs? No. Was the radical feminist movement without flaws? Also no. Just as the socialist movement did not adequately address the disadvantages women faced in the 60s and 70s, the second-wave feminist movement failed to address the unique struggles of non-white women and queer women. There is always room to grow from the starting point of a movement created ~60 years ago. Intersectionality is critical. But we have not progressed as far as most would like to pretend (looking at you, America), and the way that women hasten to distance themselves from the 'harsh' type of feminism is partially at fault for this, in my opinion.
Without radical feminism, we would not have had the Women's Liberation Movement. Without radical feminism, we would not have abortion rights, access to credit, equal pay protections, etc. The demonisation of a branch of feminism that was so critical in fighting for the rights that modern women enjoy today is harmful and something I am very suspicious of. I mean, we're at a point where I can't even use the tag radfem without having people in my asks sending messages like this? Really? If there is something that I have reblogged or posted that you disagree with, then I am always open to a good-faith discussion, but I don't respect this style of internet discourse that strikes you down as guilty by association.
(Also, since I know that's what you're getting at โ my opinion on TERFs is that they've done a great disservice to radical feminism and have gotten themselves worked up about something that is a non-issue outside of their corner of the internet. My question when people come to me IRL with anti-trans rhetoric is always, "have you ever actually met a trans person?" and the answer is always no...)
While I don't agree with everything said in it, this is an interesting article from Dr Charlotte Proudman which I recommend you read: Being a radical feminist means being a trans ally at the same time.

Another way to know the Garrick Club dust up is a total fraud. Dr Charlotte Proudman is front and center. Dr Proudman was one of the biggest Nip suckers on Twitter for Amber Heard. She never shut up about her. This is the same Misandrist crew tied to a number of abuses, mainly against men.
