WAIT a minute...
If you're thinking to yourself, 'I've seen that art somewhere else,' then...I mean, I hope so. But if you're also thinking, 'Hold on, that signature doesn't say Kementari,' then, well done for noticing. There's actually a really good explanation.
I have, for the last two decades, operated in all fandoms as Slytherkins. I long ago ceased to consider the canon my online name was inspired by. When JKR turned out to be Queen Bigot, I stopped giving her money and attention, and what little interest I had left in HP fandom died, my joy in the canon dimmed to nothing...but I didn't really consider that the name I'd been using for over twenty years still evoked that canon. At this point it's...just my fucking name, divorced from its origin. But other people might not realize the anger and resentment I bear toward Rowling or how much I fucking hate terfs. Other people might just see my very HP inspired name, decide they better not chance it, and refuse to interact with my posts. Which I understand. But...I want people to interact with my posts. XD
Before I was Slytherkins, I was Kementari. I changed it because I was never active in the LotR fandom, but I was very active in the HP fandom at the time. So...I'm going back to that. At least, for my artsy stuff. I'm still Slytherkins over on my main blog. I'm old. I've made too many friends and done too much under that name to abandon it, no matter how disgusted I am with JKR. In fact, it fuels my resentment more than a little. Fuck her, I'm not sacrificing my online identity for the past fucking forever just because she's a hateful bitch.
I'm going to be reposting all my old art here. But I'm not bothering to try to change the signatures. And going forward, I'll be signing things Kementari. Not trying to dupe anyone, it just occurred to me that my handle (yes, I'm that old) might be one of the reasons I don't get much engagement. BUT PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THE PRETTIES.
(For the record, I don't hold it against people for still engaging with HP fandom. As long as you don't give the bitch any money or defend her awfulness in any way, there's no reason what she created can't still mean something to you. It meant so very much to so many of us for so very long. I know most people are like me and this whole business has soured us on canon and fandom, but I don't think less of you if all you do is engage with fanworks. So don't think my distancing means I think you're a terrible person for daydreaming about Remus and Sirius snogging. You do you.)
