[ welcome, please read before following!!! ]

☆ hey hiya, my name is of course Scira but you can call me Eera or Len! (no major preferences :D) she/they, ND and gemini with a special fondness for space aesthetics (mainly stars and galaxies but also things like astronomy as well), meaningful storytelling in art, and post-punk darkwave.

this here's my first tumblr blog since 2015 and currently home to my shenanigans, mainly my art and fanfictions but also a few of my other interests as well.

i s'pose you could say i'm a 'lil old-fashioned, having grown up right alongside tumblr in the dinosaur days of the internet (2010-2018). ^^; i'm neurodivergent, a little more on the private side, and my social skills aren't the best, but do know that i try my absolute hardest and that i appreciate all of y'all for being patient with me!

in terms of fandoms, i'm multi, with some of my major ones being kinda old and/or obscure:

~ Titanfall/Apex Legends

~ Overwatch

~ Red Dead Revolver/Redemption

~ Avatar (yes the blue people lol)

~ Transformers

~ Outlast

~ Sailor Moon

~ Kaiju/Godzilla

~ Life Is Strange

~ Naruto (...it's complicated ok?)

~ Pokémon

~ My Hero Academia

~ Hogwarts Legacy

i will take the opportunity real quick to warn you guys that i plan on posting mostly OC and OC/Canon stuff, so if that's not your tea than this might not be the place for you and that's alright! i don't personally believe in cringe culture and at the end of the day, i come here to relax with my blorbos and have fun, hopefully you understand.

another warning, while i'm at it;

i tend to delve into alot of edgier and more profound themes with my work, whether that be my art, my characters, my writing, or my media analyses. as such, i like to explore various AU's and come up with a bajillion headcanons for my favorite characters. sometimes, these concepts may involve gore or body horror to tell certain stories. i don't shy away from those things but i do try my best to respect them as plot devices or symbolism when possible.

i'm currently trying my best to be active on most social media platforms but i am kinda rusty and am mainly just trying to get into the business of actually sharing my art for the first time since highschool haha feel free to offer me any kind of feedback on how i can improve or just pop in to say hello! if you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read through everything! it's nice to meet you, hopefully you enjoy your stay~! ☆

I've chosen to accept AO3 as a mythological creature that the ancient Greeks would write about—one only receives the full benefits of its ward (creative protection) if you approach it with the best of intentions. If one is not well-intentioned, it will reject you and your work(s) and leave you vulnerable to a curse.

I think that when you're overstimulated you should appear kind of grayed out and no one should be able to interact with you like a locked character in a video game

KILL AI AND REBLOG AND CREATE ART IN 2026

[softlymiya]

taylors i drew for a fanzine last year !

[is-this-fascism]

hot take but i think cars should be required to have communication radios just like big semi trucks. we should all be able to talk to each other on the road. not bc this would help in any way but because i want it to sound like a counterstrike lobby every time i drive somewgere

[sceera]

revisiting my darling Antipode—thinking about making some adjustments to her color palette, armor, and anatomy to make her look more alien and less like...Wraith 😅 but i'll be honest; i've been falling out of love with Apex for several months now, even more so recently once i realized Respawn is pro AI :(

i already made a couple of chunky changes to Isra and got up to my own worldbuilding in the Titanfall 2 universe, sooooo maybe I'll just focus on that for the time being idk

[sceera]

Dear people who think that using AI/Artificial Inteligence to produce soulless fanfiction that no one is ever going to truly connect with, care about, or even remember in a couple of weeks for the sake of getting clout in fandom spaces is worth causing irreperable damage to the environment,

Please, please for the sake of all that is good in the world, get the fuck off the internet.

[sceera]

y'all...

it's been two whole ass years since i made this blog and just, like, wow. time flies, or, time is flying.

[tyrantisterror]

For whatever reason, I found myself thinking about the theme of heritage/inheritance in Harry Potter and how it's, like, catastrophically broken in the text.

The villains in Harry Potter are almost unanimously racist and classist - they believe they are entitled to behave however they wish and live at the top of the social hierarchy because they were born to rich, pureblooded families, and anyone who wasn't is filth to be exploited and/or purged. That's the philosophy of evil in the book - "I deserve everything because I was born in the right family with the right genes and the right social standing. My heritage makes me better than you."

All the injustice and evil in the books is rooted in this belief in entitlement by way of heritage. People are abused and die because of it. Inherited wealth and status, and more specifically the unfair priveleges it affords, is the root of evil in Harry Potter.

So you'd think the protagonist would present some sort of strong contrast to it, right? That they'd be born poor, or mixed race, etc. But no, Harry is from a rich pureblood family, with the vast wealth and social status that affords.

Well, that's OK, we can still make a contrast. Maybe Harry differs in how he acts with wealth - perhaps, realizing his inheritance is an unfair privilege, he gives it away? Maybe he works to give the underprivileged their due? Again, no, not really. He sometimes buys stuff for his poor friend Ron, and defends his "mudblood" friend Hermione from racist criticism, but he sees no reason to change the system that dehumanizes them in the first place, and by the end of the tale is pleased to exploit his privilege for his own gain.

The whole house elf subplot illustrates this failing well - we have a race of slaves who are frequently shown to suffer from abuse. One of them, the property of a rich racist, risks his life to save Harry, and Harry frees him in return. Oh, nice, finally fighting the system, eh? Except no, not really - while Harry frees that specific slave, he's content to leave the others in bondage, especially when he inherits a slave of his own.

The contrast Harry Potter puts up against its rich, racist, privileged villains is "Hey, being rich and higher in the hierarchy is awesome and just, but you can't be a dick about it." That slaves belong in the dirt, but masters should be polite while putting them in their place.

Voldemort posits himself as the heir of Slytherin - claiming his inheritance is vital to his rise to power and villainy. And Harry opposes him by... also claiming inheritance from a rich old dead guy. Hell, the final battle comes down to who rightfully inherits a specific rare Wand!

The fact that Harry and Voldemort have shit in common is not a flaw on its own - villains and heroes are often foils for each other. But in this specific tale, the relationship the villain has with inherited power is so central to the conflict that the hero having the exact same relationship is a major failing. The story is just shy of saying "Voldemort was basically right, but he shouldn't have been rude about it." It's bad from both a moral and a writing skill perspective.

(The only inheritance Harry fully rejects is parseltongue, i.e. the ability to talk to snakes, which was accidentally given to him by Voldemort, and could be argued to be a symbol of trauma rather than inherited wealth. Also I'm still salty about how that series turned on snakes so cruelly, but that's a whole other rant.)
