I'll say it as many times as it needs to be said. There is absolutely miniscule actual harm that comes from engaging with Harry Potter in 2024. JK Rowling does not need money. Anything sent her way is less than a rounding error. And the book series was literally EVERYWHERE in the 90s and 2000s. Like it or not, it DID impact a whole generation of people - pretending that never happened is completely absurd, if not outright irresponsible. It happened. It's just a fact. Harry Potter is mainstream. There is nothing that can be done to 'promote' it. It's already there.

What all this obsession with HP on tumblr is about? An easy way to smugly define Good People from Bad People. Because if you *really* cared about trans people enough, you'd hate everything associated with Harry Potter. Regardless of how much you adored it when you were 8 and went to Harry Potter parties with your family all dressed up quoting book lines at one another in your most precious childhood memories because for once your special interest actually aligned with the people closest to you. No, all those positive associations should have been deleted instantly. If you *cared enough*, it would just *happen*.

Which is why a whole slew of people who previously had earnestly reblogged posts about Moral OCD and how bad tumblr can be about it were suddenly cackling about how buying Hogwarts Legacy was comparable to *refusing to throw The One Ring into Mordor, starting a war that would kill millions.* And how donating to a pro-trans charity (an act that would have VASTLY more impact than aforementioned rounding error) is comparable to 'donating to a pro-elf charity' in the wake of that.

Because tumblr doesn't actually give a shit about autistics or OCD sufferers. When we complain about stuff that they also dislike, they proudly reblog that and rage in the notes about how selfish and cruel and Individualist those other people on tumblr are!!! But the *second* they get to paint themselves as the ones with '''''good thoughts and feelings'''''' they take it, and make up posts about how HP likers 'believe they're the main character and everything should revolve around them.'

Is it actually about whether something causes harm? Or is it about dividing the world into Inherently Good People and Inherently Bad People? Is it actually about doing real good for the community and making the world a better place? Or is it about shaming people with the Wrong Emotions until they fucking hate themselves and spend hours upon hours ruminating on end trying to change themselves because their inability to let go of positive Harry Potter feelings is OBVIOUSLY evidence of a truly inescapably evil and cruel and wretched identity that the world would be better off without?

Which is it, actually? When it actually feels a little bit good to feel like you're on the Right Side of all of this, for once?

If Galactic Nova and Star Dream aren’t the same entity, how come Star Dream can send out the same random objects Nova had? 🤔

The evidence is pretty damning, I’d say.

You walk into my house and have the audacity to claim its foundation is subpar? You issue a challenge as if I do not have the home field advantage here?

Consider the fact that Star Dream(Soul OS) can send out two weather vanes and three lightbulbs when Nova only had one of each. In the same vein, they can attack with far more piano keys— twelve, if I recall correctly, compared to Nova’s six. Where would the rest have come from if they are just using what you imply they should have had before? Also, there are some key visual differences with between the so-called same items. Nova’s weather vane is of a simple design; it consists of a central shaft that is topped with a white chicken, to which an arrow is attached via a blocky, silver point of rotation in the center of its shaft. The arrow’s fletching consists of two parallelograms, and the arrowhead is a simple triangle that appears to be part of the shaft rather than made separately, giving it a very 2D appearance. In contrast, the ones Star Dream utilizes are topped with silver chickens, have arrows of much more realistic appearances— the fletching and arrowheads aren’t flat, but are instead more accurate to how real arrows look— attached to the central shaft via round points of rotation with scarlet centers.

Finally, unlike the one Star Dream Soul OS can attack with, Nova’s pocket watch doesn’t have fucking teeth. I thought this deserved to be its own point because I’m normal and also nobody ever talks about this. Why does it have big ol’ chompers? No clue! Maybe Star Dream(Soul OS) thinks the only good trait evolved by lesser lifeforms is biting people.

You fool. You take what is clearly meant to be a visual throwback to a previous game literally, treating it as something equating two distinct characters in spite of a wealth of evidence to the contrary. I have terminal brainrot and have fixated on an often overlooked character to the point of naming my online presence after them time and time again. We are not the same. You absolute buffoon. I bet you don’t even know about the unused Kirby Mass Attack Nova sprite. I bet you’ve never personally gone out of your way to witness the seconds long Nova easter egg in the background of Kirby 3D Rumble. I am going to kill you in hand to hand combat
