Manegro Potion - April 20 - word count: 193 - @wolfstarmicrofic

Remus let out a little gasp at Sirius’s frame.

His robes were loose, even though they were perfectly fitted to him right before break. He was pale, his skin almost translucent. He was twitching at every movement, as if he were scared.

And the biggest change?

His hair had all been cut off.

The long, luscious locks that Remus adored so much had been shaved off, leaving nothing behind.

Remus really needed to sucker punch Orion and Walburga Black right about now.

“C’mere,” he said instead, opening his arms to his boyfriend, who flinched.

Oh, Remus was going to murder his parents.

“Sweetheart, I won’t hurt you,” he murmured, keeping his movements slow and deliberate. “Promise.”

And slowly, Sirius made his way over. 

Once his boyfriend was safely in his arms, Remus pressed a kiss to the top of his head. “Hey, seren.”

“Hi, Moons.” Sirius’s voice was small, meek.

“Anything hurt?”

“Not really.” He tried to grin, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Just the hair’s missing, this time.”

“Alright. We can fix that in a moment with the emergency Manegro Potion, alright?”

Sirius nodded, burying his face into Remus’s sweater.

Sorry for asking about the teeth 🤣 I was just extremely curious and won't ask the other question that also popped into my head about his teeth.

I am actually really interested in learning about both Nyoka and Cecil's magics. And just in general. As someone who likes to gush about their characters to my friends, I really like knowing all about characters, especially ones other people have created.

Whatever you're willing to share about them, I'd be very interested in hearing about

other question khjgh ITS FINE I THINK IT’S FUNNY, Thank you and everyone else for the interest 😭😳💖 I probably don’t say that enough I really really do appreciate it. Time to drop important lore on a random post 👍 These are gonna be super paraphrased 😭 one spell is less complicated than the other.

CECILS SIGNATURE SPELL:

“Sorcerers’ Stand-Still”

Renders a person or people frozen in place like a statue unable to move or speak until the caster either releases it, runs out of magic reserves to hold it, or it runs it’s course and wears off on it’s own.

A person is consciously aware that they are frozen in place. There’s no protection qualities here, they’re just stuck. It doesn’t seem like much, but he knows how to use it.

Inspiration: The “Standstill Stone” spell that Cedric used to briefly take over the kingdom in season 4 premiere of Sofia the First.

NYOKAS SIGNATURE SPELL:

“Mark of Evil”

intrusive thoughts the spell

His magically-infused cobra venom can affect someone's mind and remove their morality and act on cruel impulses if injected via bite. His magic inflicts waves of pain and makes it difficult for a victim to think and control their own actions.

It’s not immediately obvious to anyone else that a person is under a spell at all. However, as the effect goes on, the victim becomes more and more openly uncharacteristic, irritable and difficult as their psyche and personality continues to fall apart. Self destruction is almost guaranteed, so it’s ideal to release them before it reaches that point.

Don’t worry, venom won’t be lethal this time because magic, but a victim’s memory will be hazy and they will be quite a bit sore afterwards. 👍 He has more incentive not to use it. But, hey if you wanna feel less bad about doing something terrible-

Inspiration: The magic bite Ushari inflicts on Kion at the start of season 3 of the Lion Guard, and the maddening effects it causes from that moment on till the end of the show. (Heavily paraphrased.)

Hi I've seen you use the tag transfeminism a lot but I've never seen anyone else talk about it? Would you mind explaining it, or if not maybe pointing me in the direction of what to read to understand it? Thanks a lot in advance! <3

Yeah absolutely!

The most broad and basic premise of transfeminism is: it is feminist practice that works to incorporate the experiences of trans individuals into a feminist framework.

Depending on what theorists you engage with transfeminism is either a framework for the liberation of all trans individuals from the Patriarchy - or it solely focuses on the experiences of trans women and fems. I personally ascribe to the theories of the former, not the latter.

The best, and easiest, place to start with transfeminist theory in my opinion is with Emi Koyama's "Transfeminist Manifesto" - [ here ]. The first 10 pages are the Manifesto as originally written. The last 5 are a postscript to the manifesto and a bonus piece about racist feminism. I highly recommend reading the postscript, I find it fundamental to my own understanding of transfeminist praxis.

You can read more of Koyama's work on her website - [ here ] - and I highly recommend it! She's a profound trans and intersex advocate.

I also recommend trans theorists that pre-date Koyama such as Kate Bornstein, Leslie Feinberg, and Judith Butler. They're all nonbinary trans theorists across a multitude of identities and experiences. I love this interview with Feinberg and Bornstein a lot - [ here ].

Feinberg was prolific and the first author to truly advance the concept of marxist transgender liberation in a feminist context - hir website [ here ] has a free PDF download of hir book Stone Butch Blues and several other resources on hir work and life.

Bornstein's books Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us and Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation are go-to's of mine regarding a relatively modern history and understanding of trans identity. Her My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, a Real You, or Something Else Entirely really helped shape my own relationship to my gender identity really positively and profoundly!

Judith Butler's most recent book Who's Afraid of Gender is also incredibly good, however it is incredibly dense in an academic sense. It personally takes me weeks to get through Butler's writing because it is so jammed with information - and that's not to their discredit, it's just the way they write. I highly recommend looking up some of their talks and interviews on YouTube as they're an easier introduction to their work.

Personally, I don't like Julia Serano as an author all that much, but she is still an influential transfeminist voice to be aware of because she coined and popularized the term transmisogyny. I personally have a lot of criticism of her work - particularly her seminal work Whipping Girl - because it explicitly, in her own words, is intended to be distinctly different from the work of Feinberg, Bornstein, and Riki Wilchins (another nonbinary intersex activist) and is more interested in societal perception and binary trans womanhood over politics and liberation. It also stands in opposition to a lot of the liberationist ideals of the Feminists she claims to be inspired by. I've read the whole book twice over now and in my opinion it reeks of White Feminism. I don't recommend it outside of reading it for context to the wider transfeminist discourse.

Transfeminism as a whole is also deeply entangled with the politics of Black and Intersectional Feminist politics, as many of those previously mentioned authors worked with, worked around, or were inspired by authors like Audre Lorde and bell hooks. As such I highly recommend both of them as authors as well!! I think their work really helps set the framework transfeminist theory is also built around.

I hope this helps!!

jaime i’d give you my life to see you draw benito and emi i’d beg i’d pray

I just made a wonderful connection. have you perhaps seen the movie Four brothers??? the character Jack mercer interpreted by Garrett Hedlund looks so much like your version of Sebastian. I was just wondering if you seen it and you were inspired or if it's just a beautiful coincidence 😭🙏🏼

here's some pics of his character in the movie. he's also emo/punk in it so it's kinda accurate

IM CRYING BECAUSE YOU ARE SO CLOSE!!! the answer is yes and no.

Yes: i did use him as inspo/reference.

No: Not Sebastian. Sam!!! :D

ive actually never seen the movie but i saw him while scrolling thru pinterest and thought he'd make a nice sam reference. Mostly for the hair and facial expressions!

With Sebastian, i don't use any references. However, as far as looks go he is almost a replica of my OC Emi (down to the piercings), which tbh i developed for years purely out of "how do i make him handsome af" lmao :3

most recent Emi art:

thanks for this yunodazed! you have a good eye!!

cheers to beautiful coincidences!! 😂

bonnie doing the ‘someone to call my lover’ trend ft. emi! 🫣

[kaikaikarasu]

No because those two would either be annoying each other or annoying everybody else as a team

[the-lavender-clown]

Purple Dragons Next Generation with Baxter Stockboy, Emi and Sheldon

THAT’S GENIUS

THE CHILDREN!!!

This gen would be interesting if only because Baxter would be like 10 years or so older than Emi but what does age matter when you’re geniuses! Also Shelldon is technically her nephew which I just find amusing 🤣

Thank you for this suggestion and everyone else please also suggest SOP centric drawing (or writing, I could do some drabbles/ficlets too) ideas to help me make propaganda for the @tmntseparatedaucompetition!!! This is also the last day to vote for SOP in the first round so if you haven’t yet PLEASE DO!!!!

[khaoala]

it's important to know that bonnie went to an all-girls school.

So I'm like 30 or 40 years old and I have been reading fanfic since well before A03 was established. I have read thousands and thousands of fanfics in my life, possibly tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands. I don't know. Across all the different platforms where I've read fic, it adds up to exactly...a hell of a god damn lot of fic.

And since the birth of tagging, I cannot tell you a SINGLE time I have EVER come across a fanfic that had any significant content that was untagged. Not ever. Not once. I have NEVER been jumpscared by untagged gore, or untagged noncon, or untagged sexy underage shenanigans, or untagged incest, or anything. And it's not like I read exclusively G-rated soft fluffy stories about baby puppies or anything, I'm a big reader of all the "bad" icky wrong nasty stuff like dark romance and psychological fuckery and characters of dubious morality.

And yet, I apparently cannot get through one single day without seeing someone on social media (twitter, tumblr, tiktok, etc) loudly complaining about how much they HATE being constantly assaulted by untagged fanfic. About how much they HATE all the authors who "never tag their fics"

And I don't know. I'm sorry, but I just can't delude myself into believing that untagged fics are anywhere NEAR as common as these people claim. I genuinely do not believe that ANYBODY is getting jumpscared and assaulted by untagged incest or untagged rape multiple times a day. You just cannot convince me that's a thing that happens. Because the way these people tell it, it's as if a solid 60-70% of all fanfic on the internet exists with 0 tags and 0 summary and poor little readers are simply forced to roll the dice and are therefore constantly exposed to untagged incest lolicon porn all the time, in a never ending cycle.

And what's funny is I've ASKED these people about those so-called untagged fics. I've responded to their posts and said "Oh no, if a fic had something like that untagged it's a problem. Where was this fic posted, what was the title of the fic, and who was the author?"

And they never, NEVER have an answer. They either ignore my comment and pretend it doesn't exist, or they respond but refuse to actually answer the question. Sometimes they even hide or delete my comment, which tells me everything I need to know.

Obviously there will be the occasional fic missing a tag, possibly even an important tag. Of course that's something that happens. But in my entire 20+ years of obsessively reading everything single fic I can get my filthy little hands on, it's happened so rarely that it barely warrants being notable. And even then, 9 times out of 10 it's because the author just genuinely made a mistake and they will happily fix their tags if you politely point it out to them.

Maybe other people have different experiences than me and come across untagged fic more often. Sure, okay. But there is NO world that exists where explicit extreme incest gore smut is being sprung on readers multiple times a day. The literal children on Tiktok making videos complaining about "I thought it was gonna be a cute Bluey fic but the UNTAGGED INCEST AND PEDOPHILIA!!!!" are simply lying about this being a thing that happens to them often enough that they've had to make over 400 videos about every single time it's happened to them.

There isn't even ENOUGH underage incest rape porn on A03 for this to possibly happen as much as these people cry about it happening. Like it's statistically literally impossible.

I'm willing to believe that untagged fics exist maybe 1% as often as people say they do. Maybe even 0.5%

You just cannot sell me the lie that there are millions and millions of spooky scary untagged dad/daughter rape porn fics floating around out there. It's simply not true. Hell, in my experience, excessive OVER-tagging is a much more notable occurance.

It's ironic because I'm far more triggered by real death and rape threats towards real people than I am by fictional misdeeds, and yet that's never tagged or warned for in the slightest. If noncon fiction is really such a threat that it needs extensive tagging, then you'd think these people would think twice about sending real gore and actual CSAM to proshippers in order to "own" them and "prove" that fiction is actually real.

But wait, that would require admitting they have an egregious double standard that values the fake lives of fictional characters over the very real lives of actual flesh-and-blood human beings. And it would require admitting that they care more about being offended and uncomfortable than they do about other people being able to process their trauma and find community.

And we can't have that now, can we?

Kinda curious on how gigantron and ultraman first met and how they become lovers? And also wanna know did they do the boombayah to make emi? Or nah ultraman is just emi step dad?

My idea is that Gigabtron is a teacher at the local elementary school. The one that Minus 1, Suko , Battra jr, Gigan’s little sister, ultra zero and the rest of the little kids go to.

I image that they met at a party for the local school district and immediately Ultraman was smitten. He definitely asked Shimo for help when first trying to talk to her, as I imagine he was much too nervous to go up to her directly.

They bonded over a passion for education and a love of reading. They hit it off pretty quickly and started dating rather soon. They got married after 4 years, and then a year in they had Emi.

So yes, in this AU, Emi is half Kiju half ultra. But she’s more or less the same as she is in the movie, maybe she’ll have some cool ultra powers when she’s older but for now, she is baby

[book-nerd-emi]
