By any chance did you draw Xingqiu's training uniform? 🥺

Or any more of the characters? 👀 Baizhu, Ningguang, Ganyu, Xianyun, etc.

I love your drawings and your character design and style in general 💜💜 ever since Cyanide Narwhal I fell in love

honestly you have amazing timing, i'd been sketching and cleaning these up for a while now hahah

edit: just realized baizhu's eyes should be a different color here. oh well. pretend they're red lmao

So I got this new fountain pen a weekish ago. I wanted some new supplies because I'm going to try to do inktober this year, and I saw this pen even longer ago and thought it was hella cute and decided to get it. It's wancher's mini fountain pen, I love the colors on it and I love the few pocket fountain pens i have, I haven't bought from this brand before and I want to try it so w/e let's get it

Goddamn I hate this pen.

So in comparison to my moonman, which is my daily pen, and my traveler's company brass fountain pen, my current third favorite pen, it's even smaller. Its 6.5 cm long when cappedBut the thing that pocket pens are supposed to do is that you post them and that will bring them to full fountain pen size.

But god it is still to small. Under 9 cm long.

I have to squish up my hand a little bit to actually write with it, it's just uncomfortable.

But there is a bigger problem

You can't really.... post it.

The cap is a screw on when it's capped normally, but when it's posted I think it's suppose to be friction fit? The brass pen does that and I've never had problems with it.

But because you have to squish you hand in a weird way, when you actually use it you hold it a bit harder against the rest of your hand to help keep it steady. But then the cap just... falls off? There is no actual friction for the cap to grab on to so too much pressure just pushes it off

So maybe you aren't suppose to post this pen and just use it as is. But... it fuckin short

it's like 5.6 cm long. I can't write with this, not with the precision that I want. it's just too short, I can't use it

And it sucks cause it really is a cute ass pen. It looks like a little baby next to the full sized pens, it's so cute and I love it for that

but my god I can't actually write with it. It completely failed its number one job. I'm not sure what to do with it, I don't trust any of the children I know who could actually use it. I might just put it on display so I can point at it and insult it when I'm bored

Cute ass pen tho

Hey if you’re still enjoying and engaging with Harry Potter in any capacity you can unfollow me 😊 please and thank you

Like. I get it. I was super into it as a kid too. I did not have the social context to pick up on the antisemitism or transphobia or sexism or fatphobia or bioessentialism or racism or anything else. I also picked up on surface-level language of Fighting Back Against Evil and ascribed my own values onto what that meant and thought we were all on the same page. I remember when the original kids who grew up with the books started becoming adult fans and picking up on the (blatant!) antisemitism and everybody was still mostly willing to give JKR the benefit of the doubt on it. (“She was writing kids books!” They said. “She didn’t know she was penning a global phenomenon! She picked a common literary trend in European fairy tales (antisemitic caricature) and didn’t examine it closely. It’s a mistake anyone could make,” we said. “She would probably do things differently now. After all, she word-of-god confirmed the vaguest hints she dropped that Dumbledore might be gay,” we said.) There was actually a span of several years where biases inherent in the actual real content of the Harry Potter series were coming to light and even the people pointing them out still seemed mostly to think it was an unfortunate accident.

That time has passed. Years ago! We are long past the first months of “maybe she doesn’t realize this seemingly-feminist tweet she liked was made by a noted TERF” and then “how could she not realize that these many veiled TERF-y things she’s retweeted have implications for the many queer fans of her work” and finally “oh wow okay JKR just dropped an entire transphobic manifesto on twitter. I guess the transphobia was the point.”

Yeah, there were a few months after that where people were still processing and still working through how they felt about Harry Potter and all of its flaws with the context of the now open transphobia of the creator. I was there for that. Remember how I was one of the kids who built it up into something noble and worthwhile based on my own beliefs about what messages it was probably trying to convey? Turns out it wasn’t trying to say any of those things, and when you take the time to examine all of the terrible shit that made its way into the text whether JKR intended it to be there or not, the whole series falls apart. It’s weird to discover that there’s a room in your house that’s rotten to the core, but eventually you figure out you can’t live like that, still going in there and holding your nose and pretending it’s still the same room you thought it was when the termites were only inside of the walls and hadn’t yet started chewing their way through the furniture. Because what’s going to happen is that they are going to infest the rest of your house. If you decide you can ignore transphobia and antisemitism and everything else just because you liked the color of the wallpaper, the rest of your principles are going to crumble too. You get rid of that fucking room. You put those books on a high shelf in the back of your closet behind other outgrown clothes and interests and you move the fuck on.

JKR uses the money made from her transphobic antisemitic children’s books to actively funding hate groups and to lobby for legislation that will and has actually affected the actual lives of trans people in an entire country. We are past the point of grieving something you were wrong about in childhood. Kids are wrong about a lot of stuff. You grow up and you learn new information and you change your behaviors based on it. You have to choose. It is transphobic to pretend there is not transphobia where there is. It is transphobic to support the work of someone who is using those funds to take rights from trans people with every fucking dollar. It is hateful to continue to engage positively with a story that at its very core is rooted in hate and bigotry and prejudice. You can choose to do all of those things but you cannot claim ignorance of them and you cannot choose those things and still pretend that choosing them upholds the values we convinced ourselves that Harry Potter stood for over a decade ago as uninformed children. You cannot choose to do those things and pretend to still support your trans and queer and Jewish neighbors. I do not want you in my neighborhood. Leave.
