I have a soft spot for Sailor Jerry Style Art- or Vintage Tattoos for the uninitiated. I had to give it a go, and while I admit I leaned a bit heavily on referencing for the tail design, I still got pretty darn good piece!

Im in love with how the hearts are represented by nether stars,, its just one really cool to think of, instead of it being some modded in thing.

Like do you think the lifesteal members ever look at the night sky and think its alive? The night sky so full of lives, shining and shimmering just out of reach. Do they stare at the nightsky with greed, those with less hearts, do they stare with envy?

Do they ever kill the wither and think how remarkably similar they are to hearts? Holding the nether star close, like it might give them a life back. Do they identify witht he wither, they also drop those same stars when they die after all?

And then, how does it feel to hold a star/life. Does it burn like a real star? Is it freezing cold? Does it thump in rhythms or pulse with light? We are all made of star dust after all, the lifesteal members are just more star than most.

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

In light of the recent announcement of the Harry Potter TV Show and the fact that this is primarily a Harry Potter fan fiction blog, the below needs to be said.

I am not excited about this show.

If you told my past self 5 years ago this, I’d be shocked.  Five years ago, if they announced a Harry Potter TV show I’d be doing everything in my power to be involved some way or another.  However, in the last five years JKR has shown her true colors and spent her free time and money attacking the trans community.  There are many reasons why I’m not excited about the show or looking forward to it in any regard, but to me the most important is that this show gives JKR more money and cultural capital to further her anti-trans agenda.  This is unacceptable.

I think a lot of us raised on Harry Potter really wanted to separate the art from the artist, dive further into fanfic and fandom and just ignore that the woman who created a world in which we’ve spent most of our lives escaping into.  However, we can’t do that.  It’s come to my attention over the past few days that a lot of people aren’t even aware of the active harm JKR is doing to the trans community.  Most people just say, ‘oh she said some weird stuff on twitter’ right?

Well, yeah.  But, did you also know she launched an active campaign against a reform bill that made it easier for trans people to legally change gender?  You know what happened?  The UK blocked that Bill and Scotland now has to launch a legal challenge to the government block.  She’s also funding a Sex Abuse Crisis Center that excludes trans women.  Yeah, that’s right.  She’s using her money from a book about love and acceptance to actively exclude a marginalized group from a crisis center.  She’s also publicly admitted via twitter that she funds anti-LGBTQ political activity in the UK.

So yeah, there’s a direct line of fans supporting official trademarked Harry Potter anything and that money directly harming transpeople.  Sorry for that rude awakening, but some of y’all are doing backflips to avoid seeing this.

Now, is there a way to prevent Warner Brothers (and Max, lol) from making this show?  Probably not?  After mergers and at a point when the tv and film industry isn’t booming, they need money.  You know what makes money?  Harry Potter.  Which is why they’re rebooting it.  Another question that’s been raised, will the looming writer’s strike affect this?  I would guess probably not?  Most UK writers (and International writers at large) are not in the WGA.  JKR has always wanted the most amount of British people involved in Harry Potter adaptations, so they’ll use the strike to find a UK writer and get them to work.

So what can we do?

Don’t watch the show.  Or, if you do.  Pirate it. In fact, cancel your Max subscription before the show launches.

They’re going to spend A LOT of money on this.  If the numbers aren’t there for them they will do what every other streamer does with an unsuccessful show and cancel it.  They announced 5 Fantastic Beast movies, and yet...where’s that last one?

Anyway, thanks for reading this whole thing if you’ve gotten this far.  Please share with friends who are excited about the show.  Please engage in meaningful discussions with other Potter fans.  Please support our trans friends and strangers.

Once again, this blog says FUCK JKR.

I've noticed with tumblr a lot of people on tumblr either hate lesbians/bi women especially if they don't center men/male characters in their lives or they are a lesbian but an extreme radfem one

I have seen and experienced the lesbophobia here, on twitter not so much but only because 90% of my mutuals are lesbians too lol

Which is why I've always been a lil scared to /talk/ here, for years I would just upload my art and leave —but ramble over headcanons on twitter later 💔

Is the thing with Eddie something you get when you decode the letters around the website or do you get it some other way???

'Cause I'm pretty sure that the Eddie thing happens during the Homewarming party, & I've found nothing about what happens at the actual party, but in Poppy's bio it's said that she was left out of the Homewarming party 'cause she never leaves her house. But if the Welcome Home Restiration Team haven't uncovered any audios or visuals of when the party actually took place, then how could they possibly know that for certain???

Unless there's something I missed???

How do other transmascs/trans men (or other nonwomen nonbinary people) feel about being in a group of all women and having someone refer to the group as girls/ladies?

For example, I was in a meeting with 3 coworkers who are all women. At the end of the meeting one of them left and said something like "have a good day ladies" as her goodbye. Later she found me and apologized for including me in the term ladies.

Personally I don't mind, I think it's weird that if there's a single guy in a group of women that we default to masculine terms. And I feel like "have a good day ladies and Pancake" is awkward and unnecessary. But I can understand not wanting to be included in the term ladies if you don't identify that way.

Alcibiades at some point probably did try to pull a jeff winger and say some shit like " i discovered from a very early age that if i talk long enough i can make anything right or wrong , so either im god , or truth is relative " and he got smacked on the head so hard by socrates he sniffled and cried a little . He probably never mentioned anything like that again

This is a ranty post about a viral post and the concept of old people's care...

I'm not trying to start beef, especially as the original post is making a very valid point but oh my God this thing grates on me...

"...used to have a whole intergenerational team on this and now Grandma is locked in a beige box. Cooking is hard. "

Do you understand how residential care works? Do you understand that it costs 2 x the salary of an experienced, privileged professional every month? Do you understand that NO ONE is putting grandma in a "beige box" because they're not a big fan of her Scrabble tactics?

The "locked in a beige box" grannies would not be fucking HELPING with anything if they were living with family. They would be yet another unbelievably difficult thing for middle aged women, already doing EVERYTHING for EVERYONE to look after.
