Hey, with everything that happened with jk rowling, how do you feel? Do you continue to draw things of HP world? Because i am ficwritter of hp and i dont know what to do... its just, hurt me a lot. I love HP and hate jk rowling but i dont know if tis correct now.

I wrote "this" post yesterday, if you want to read it! 

I became a fanartist when I was 15, just a teenager trying to find myself in the world. When I reached 18 I completely stopped with Harry Potter because I developed interests in other things to paint so somehow I actually improved my drawing skills because of that. When Cursed Child happened, I was 23 and I felt the urge to create my own ideas of adult Harry since I couldn’t quite understand how could she write Harry so different from what I was expecting. - Potterbyblvnk happened and perhaps many of you reading this are here on my tumblr because of it.

I guess that’s the reason we, as fans, create things. We can illustrate exactly what happened in the books, but we also can put on papers our own expectations. There’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, it can help more people to feel safer reading a fanfiction than going back reading the books and remember jk rowling, who’s being so hurtful.

I hope you can think of this <3 If your writing is helping more people from community to feel a sense of belonging and it’s making sense for others and your beliefs, I would encourage you to keep writing!

I haven’t been actively drawing HP since last year, due to art blocks and because I’m reaching new interests. I realised I was stuck because I wasn’t seeing the point of keeping doing fanarts anymore - I don’t have any bigger plans for my art of HP except sharing on tumblr with the community who I love so much. When someone comes to me and say “ginny with short hair gave me courage to cut my own hair and i feel more powerful”, those little things that actually made an impact on someone - that’s the point many times I kept sharing HP content, and probably will keep doing if the inspiration strikes.

I have medication for my mood but I won't take it. Wtf is wrong with me.

[buried-l0cket]

Weird habit I need to shake:

whenever I hc two girls gay or ship them together I always feel like I HAVE to make one lesbian, like I’m being greedy and unrealistic if I make them both bi, same with when I’m making up sexuality hcs for all the characters from media I like i feel like I’m doing something wrong if I hc “too many” as bi.

Idk if other bis have this but it’s really weird my personal headcanons for unconfirmed or straight characters literally have no impact on other people even if I’m making content involving sexuality hcs, I don’t owe other people representation in my own fanon thoughts if I want every single character to be like me then they can.

Did everyone just…. forget how to create, all of a sudden? Disney pumping out the fourth remake in a row? Movies are like 70% sequels? Stories in games being just bad if they exist at all? Haven’t had a book get hyped in like half a decade? Are we okay? What’s going on?

Patriarchy is repetitive and boring; men simply have nothing left to say.

hey you guys know what’s shitty!!!!

my ace/lesbian friend went to a pride festival today!!! im super happy for her!!!

the shitty part is that she left an hour in because she was scared of getting punched. for carrying an ace flag. at pride.

someone threatened her. at pride. because she was ace.

i dont wanna dabble in ~discourse~ but hey!!! maybe don’t make people scared of the community that should make them feel safe!!!! thats my hot take!!!!

If I catch anyone at pride making the event unsafe for anyone, they’re gonna catch these fucking hands. If I’ll throw down with protesters and terfs you bet I ain’t scared to defend people being harassed by gatekeepers.

[bigenderfenris]

imagine believing a lesbian should be assaulted at pride for not being visibly lesbian. imagine believing an asexual should be assaulted at pride for existing.

[cherryholley]

the stonewall inn flies the ace flag. stonewall itself supports aces.

​ace people were around at the time of the riots as well

[tarantula-veins-deactivated2023]

Just so you know, if you make anyone feel unsafe for being at pride, at all, I will make you feel VERY fucking unsafe. If you don’t like it, don’t dish it. 

[demigender-demigod-deactivated2]

Pride is about non-cishet people getting the chance to be proud in their identities after being told for CENTURIES by cishet people that they’re sinful, invalid, sick, mentally-ill, etc. Take a wild guess who THAT applies to! ACE (and also aro) PEOPLE. who are not only marginalized by cishets, but by others in the LGBTQIAA+ community. So NO pride isn’t not for “telling strangers you don’t feel sexual attraction” pride in your identity is the WHOLE. F***ING. POINT. OF. PRIDE.

I’m so glad that do many do NOT think like that, and I wish she had actually had a good experience :(

[paulichu]

One of the major articles I’ve seen floating around Facebook over the last 2 weeks is how Pride invites and welcomes kink communities and sex workers because they’ve also been cast out, and they are also massively made up of LGBT people.

Get the fuck out with your ace (and aro) erasure. If sex can straight up be celebrated, and love can straight up be celebrated, then a lack of or different kind of love or sex can be as well.

[dragoon811]

This is one of the reasons I’m afraid to go to a pride. And I’m just bi and married to a cismale.

I’m afraid to go. To pride.

[paladins-light]

Ah yes I remember that time ace people made me feel uncomfortable... Oh wait no I don't because that never happened. 😑

[one-time-i-dreamt]

A girl I liked convinced me to stab a man, so I did. Felt guilty for a bit, then promptly forgot about it and walked around with the murder weapon for a couple of hours, going about my business, walking my dog. Eventually I was cornered by a plainclothes police officer who asked me why I had a bloody knife; I told him I was looking after it for my bogan cousin. He said, “You’re under arrest,” and I was like,, “No, I’m not, watch this,” and then I woke up.

Sweet generalization.

It’s not about whether a character is trans or gay. Gay characters make sense. People have been gay for millennia. Trans however. Not the case. In a high fantasy setting, how in the balls are they going to perform surgery where they change the sex of the character??? It makes no sense at all. They’d have to explain it. And remember, this is high fantasy, Game of Thrones is also in that category. This is a time where they would reach into your body with an object strikingly similar to a salad tossing spoon to yank out a small piece of arrowhead. Pretty sure they hadn’t figured out a surgery as complex as a sex change…

The people complaining that there aren’t enough gay/trans people in stuff like this are just as bad if not moreso than the people who complain about gay/trans people being in stuff like this.

Create your own fantasy world filled with nothing but gay/trans people. Make it so that being heterosexual is the minority. All the power to you. Good luck trying to create it.

[didntfitthenarrative]

You don’t have to have surgery to be transgender. Lots of transgender people don’t. Transgender people, people who identify with the gender not corresponding with their birth sex, have existed before the surgery. And the existence of and recognition of a third sex or dual sex existed in pre-modern times in lots of places are the world. So, for one, your “how in the balls are they going to perform surgery“ question doesn’t actually matter. They don’t need to in order for transgender people to exist. But if they did want to include transgender people who undergo physical changes to reflect their gender/sexual identity, in a HIGH FANTASY world, there’s actually a really easy answer to that:

“How are you going to make someone trans in a fantasy setting full of magic spells, potions, and artifacts?”

[vaishino]

shout out to the elixir of sex shift for covering more than just a gender binary.

[kirinandvlindertje]

also lets not forget that in ye old days (aka time of the ancient greeks (aka the bc years)) that people drank the urine of pregnant mares to feminize themselves. like, trans people find a way ;)

[theyoungestwhateleydaughter-dea]

They didn’t even have fucking iron, but they had trans women.

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

[daywatch]

I know this is a funny post but

There are a few major points in Country Music’s history that got the entire genre labeled as ‘annoying’

Post 9/11 nationalism

A term that I couldn’t make up “Bro-Country” which intensifies themes of booze, objectifying women, and partying that were present in past decades but not to such an extent

This is Gospel Music But With an Accent

Now looking at the songs op listed there is

A woman pleading to another woman

A woman wrecking a shitheads life

A guy loving the scenery of where he lived

A song that could easily be mistaken for a number of other genres

But it is easier to say that one hates country while privately enjoying select songs than explain why one doesn’t like the current market oversaturated with our nation’s problems of nationalism, sexism, and so on
