Having a fearful moment where I think one of my friends might be transphobic.
#personal#we were talking about video games and the topic switched to Hogwarts Legacy#because my friend is still an active Harry Potter fan in 2025#and let me start with the fact that I’ve always tried to assume they just didn’t know about how awful J K is#but yesterday proved that they are aware#because they were upset that the girl characters don’t have the option to wear pants and can only wear skirts#I replied by saying how that would line up with J K’s terf nature and she’d probably hate to see a woman in pants#to which my friend said ‘but she put a trans character in the game!’#what I should’ve said to that was ‘that doesn’t excuse her history of transphobia and trans misogyny’#instead I said that wasn’t even a good portrayal#I mean for fucks sake she named her Sirona Ryan#like making a character based on the people you hate doesn’t make it okay???#that’s a real ‘I can’t be racist I have black friends’ excuse#and I might have to be an adult and ask my friend if they can really overlook J K’s history of transphobia and racism that easy#(and the rampant antisemitism in that game)#for the sake of a bland game and even blander new movies#like having an attachment to books you read as a kid is understandable#but I lose that ability to understand when you’re actively putting more money in her pockets#I’m stressing cause I can tell they didn’t like that I brought up how J K is a bad person

2025, here we go 🥳
A multiple of 5 type of year, hell yeah. The usual look back on the prior year below the cut!
In 2023, I posted four one-shots, and I'm delighted to say that in 2024 I beat that with 15 oneshots and one multichapter fic.
Perchance to Love, in which a time traveling Harry gets love potioned, as one does
let the sky fall, in which Harry's a phoenix and Voldemort's a fan
yet I still believe in ever after with you, in which Harry is the Bachelor and Tom can't believe he's a cliche
what the whole world wants, in which SQQ is determined to stay out of the plot and fails miserably
love you since this morning, in which fem!Harry sees Sirius and goes "ah yes that's the one"
wake me up when they build that time machine, in which child!Tom gets a new start
set my soul on fire, in which Harry wants a baby and Voldemort deals
you feel it once and you're never the same, in which Harry's too popular for his own good
at last, the skies above are blue, in which the sorting hat also gives out free soulmates
like a river flows, surely to the sea, in which I write two love potion fics in the same year
take my name and make it yours, in which Sirius claims it's not an engagement ring
leave the door ajar, in which there's some necromancing
the future's ours to see, in which the Black family tree is a romantic
take my hand, take my whole life too, in which there is marriage
but if it's forever, it's even better, in which it's Hufflepuff's cup that hands out the free soulmates
something I'm not, but something I can be, in which I swap Dumbledore with Sirius
The latter half of these (9) were written for the 2024 Sirry Stockings fest over on the Sirry Discord, which was so much fun. I'm glad the mods ran the event again!
Like last year, I stayed mostly in my tried and true fandom of Harry Potter, venturing out only into Scum Villain, which was my main reading obsession of the year. The amount of Scum Villain words I've read makes me glad there isn't an AO3 Wrapped. All 16 of my new fics were rated T, very in character of me, and "Sirius Black Lives" was my most-used tag. I know what I'm about.
All in all, I posted 45k, my highest posted word count since 2021. It's not too much compared to my even older years, but ah, well, those times are long gone. In some ways I don't mind it too much -- I like where I am in life -- but I do still get nostalgic about how much free time and energy I used to have a decade ago.
My favorite reads of 2024 were:
The First and Last Adventure of Kit Sawyer, m/m romance between a historian and an Indiana Jones type with supernatural elements
Death in the Spires, historical early 1900s murder mystery with m/m subplot
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, productivity
Good Morning, Monster, heartbreakingly excellent memoir of a therapist
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi, badass pirate gang gets back together for one last job
Outlander, 1940s woman falls through time to the 1700s, VERY good romance
Peak Mind, a reread, still my favorite meditation book
IRL, it was overall a good year. I had many good times with family and friends, including a visit from an old fandom friend. I finished paying off my student loans (🥳) and my car, which felt amazing. I went on vacation to Lake George and took many photos. I went on many hikes. I had my third year work anniversary at my current company. I had a great time with someone cool before we broke up. I started learning to crochet again and got halfway through a scarf. I read many good books.
In 2025, I want to finish that scarf -- or maybe start a new one. And then crochet a hat to match the scarf. I want to finish Perchance to Love, the WIP I started last year; I paused working on it because I wasn't sure which of two directions I wanted to take the fic. I want to read even more good books. I want to write even more Sirry. As usual, I want to learn and to grow, and to engage in fun nonsense.
This blog isn't too active anymore, but feel free to join me over on my Discord server if you want to catch up!
All my best to all of us in 2025! ❤️
