I really enjoyed making her! I think she came out real nice. At first I was only going to make Julian, but I fell in love with Nadia so here we are. 😂 I'm going to be making all the LIs. Muriel's next.

I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.
Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.
Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.
There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.
Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.
You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.
You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.
it's been very disappointing to see trans communities continue to rip themselves apart over stupid things like who really deserves support the most and who really has it the worst. I thought one of our core tenants was that it's better to uplift and help more people (even if it benefits those who "don't need" it) rather than punch down and restrict support so much that it hurts those who do need it. I'm really begging you all to just. stop and think for a second if it's really worth your time to direct your hate and negativity towards any trans person when there are people out there who are actively fighting for us to be dead.
Hey guys! I'm just letting you all know that I won't be active that much today.
Me and a bunch of psychos on Tumblr are celebrating the death of some old Roman politician.

Do yourself a favor and don't ask anything on the arcana's page. Everything they'll say will just confuse the fandom even more; nothing out of them is Canon, and for a lot of us the old "Ask Arcana" was one of the only source for canonic stuff.
"the team knows the characters like the back of our hands"
Oh yeah? Like when you mistaken the magician's pronouns? Like when you said Lucio was a saggittarious? When you mistaken Faust's gender? Or the amount of mischaracterisation the "official" tales on Dorian had, like Muriel being indirectly affectionate towards "Lucio" and Asra being completely out of place when giving affection?
Wow. Yes i see...
Please don't!
Yknow if anyone deserves a hug, it's definetly these two
Hello! Could you please write full headcanons on the M6 getting home one day to find MC dead? They're not actually dead, their body is just vacant after a spell went horribly wrong, but M6 have no way of knowing that.
Thank you!

~ @arson-the-ace oh, this. this is going to hurt, isn't it. ~
CW for descriptions of panic attacks, bodies that seem dead, references to past trauma, and your beloved in lots of pain
-- to set the scene --
It was supposed to be an experiment, to see if it was possible to put your body in a preserved or frozen state when you left it behind to visit the magical realms. You did not expect the result to be your body looking and acting like a fresh corpse, or for the spell to have a three hour cooldown time before you could reinhabit it. Your incorporeal self sighs and sits next to your body, resigned to the boredom of waiting it out.
Until, minutes later, the door opens and your beloved walks in, and you have no way of telling them what happened.
WHAT DOU YOU MEAN " SIDON IS NOT IN LOVE WITH LINK!"

The sequel ‘Skull Measuring for beginners’ is scheduled for 2025.
a list of factors that CAN cause poor outcomes and fatalities in blood transfusions:
being crossmatched with the wrong A/B/O, RhD/rhesus, or HLA group
Blood that isn't properly screened for blood borne disease, increasing the risk of transmission of HepC, vCJD, and HIV/AIDs
massive transfusion protocols, which have been associated with a minor increased risk in hemolytic transfusion reactions, air embolism, hyper- and hypo- kalemia (blood potassium), magnesia (blood magnesium), and calcemia (blood calcium)
Improper storage of blood and blood products like plasma/FFP and platelets
A list of factors that there have no substantial scientific proof of being linked with poor outcomes and fatalities in blood transfusion:
the sex of the donor
Currently, in the UK, there via a shortage of blood donors; in particular donors from Afro-Carribean backgrounds, whose blood is more likely to be a HLA match for transfusions for sickle cell anaemia and beta thalassaemia sufferers.
I guarantee you that if you've gone into haemorrhagic shock, or are at risk of sickle cell crisis, the absolute last thing you're going to be thinking about is the sex of your donor, because without blood — no matter who donated it — you're going to die.
Blood transfusions save lives — no matter the donor's sex — to say that donor sex is related to adverse outcomes is at best, blatant misinformation with limited if any scientific backing, and at worst, modern day phrenology that's playing dice with people's lives.
(The data Rowling uses comes from 3 trials, all of which agree that a. further studies with wider sample sizes are needed, and b. the cause is likely due to an immunological factor rather than anything to do with endocrinology. Also, bias of interpretation is A Thing, folks.)
(via @thatlittleegyptologist )
Yo I spent a year working in the UK blood donation service and just want to add some things to reassure people.
Blood is always checked. Comprehensively. It doesn't matter if it's someones first donation or their hundredth. There are multiple checks before you even donate, and we send samples out to get them tested for any blood borne diseases long before the blood makes it's way into anyone. We sort the blood by group ourselves and it's always at least triple-checked on our end. Then it's checked again at the storage site, and once again in hospitals. We all have access to a massive, comprehensive database with every single donor. The bags are clearly labelled and barcoded.
If there was a single fatality linked to a blood donation, there'd be a massive outcry, and an even more massive internal reaction. Part of why the UK system is so careful is because of the mad cow outbreak, which was related to transfusions and honestly still gave some of my coworkers flashbacks. Everyone is constantly guarding against anything like that ever happening again.
The only significant difference between "male" and "female" blood is very slightly different haemoglobin levels. Donated blood with a different haemonglobin level will not kill you. It's meant to be higher than yours, because thats part of the fucking point of blood donations. Higher haemoglobin helps people your blood carry oxygen and helps your body with basically every vital function. Which is why we test haemoglobin levels on site and only accept donations from people with higher than average.
So yeah, one single difference. You know what this incredibly risk-averse, comprehensively research-led system said how trans people might affect that? That they don't. Our full training was literally "treat them like their identified gender"
So no, a donation from someone with the "opposite" sex won't kill you. You know what will kill you? Propaganda like this.
We have literal evidence in living memory of what happens when mass hysteria is whipped up over blood donations. My parents lost one of their best friends in Mexico during the AIDs crisis, because the media wouldn't stop screaming about contaminated blood and how it would kill you and your entire family. He died in his thirties from a fucking nosebleed.
JKR cares more about clinging to her transphobia than she does about the very real deaths that could come from this. She cares more about clinging to relevancy than she cares about the lives of the people who somehow still see her as worth listening to. Her morals are a joke on a cosmic level and I hope she rots.
Give blood (UK link) https://www.blood.co.uk/
It's good there are cool chairs and biscuits
im still so baffled as to how you could tell what sex the blood you got ‘actually’ was, since red blood cells DON’T HAVE DNA. of all the cells in the human body to try to ascribe the properties of a biological, intrinsic, immutable sex, the red blood cells are probably most absurd ones to pick. they have no dna! none! that’s where your chromosomes are! and your blood cells have a grand total of zero x’s or y’s! they’re physically just not built like that!!! holy shit!!!!
it really demonstrates the absurdity of terfs pretending like their cause is at all scientific, rather than a deeply superstitious and irrational misunderstanding of the human body right down to the most fundamental, basic particles. you could dissect a million blood cells for twenty years, and you won’t be able to find a scrap of gender in any of them.
but it’s easier to just lie on the internet.
To break it down further: We humans are built to be blood compatible (by type) because all of us shared blood with our mothers and half of us are potential hosts.
Because of this need to share blood, it’s pared down of information compared to other organs. To receive a piece of my liver, we’d need to be cell matched on multiple levels and you’d need to go on special anti-rejection drugs but we can share blood no problems.
Being on T changes literally ONE thing about your blood when it comes to donation, your number of red blood cells. It increases them. This CAN be an issue if you end up with too much but the solution is really easy, you just remove some (that is, you take some blood out) so arguably regular blood donation not only saves lives but is also something trans masc people on t should do anyway to keep their red cell numbers in check.
My husband has O- blood and you know what it's primarily used for? Maternity and neo natal transfusions. His blood goes into babies and women all the time becuase o- is the "oh fuck we haven't got time, emergancy blood transfusion!" stuff. We know this because the UK blood service actually texts you when they use your donation and tell you where it was used.
And this is why JK's crap is so dangerous, because if we start denying men the ability to donate blood because "ew icky man blood" then babies WILL DIE, women WILL DIE. And there's absolutely no evidence that different hormone levels in blood makes any bloody difference to outcomes. Blood is blood and if you need a transfusion all that matters is that it's a compatable type.
I nearly needed a blood transfusion after I had my second child, I lost a lot of blood in seconds. I went from fine to most definitely not fine in the snap of a finger. It's terrifying how fast that can happen. I narrowly missed needing a transfusion but had I needed it, i'm glad the NHS has a decent blood supply. When I had my eldest the woman in the bed opposite me suffered a catastrophic hemhorage 12 hours after giving birth. She was trying to a run a bath and then there was just blood... everywhere. She was in a BAD way and required multiple transfusions in the week we were hospitalised together.
Blood donation saved that woman's life. It saves a lot of women's lives.
It's frankly disgustingly irresponsible for JK to be tweeting this psudoscientific bullshit to her following and treating it like gospel truth.
Blood donation saves lives, it's a vital part of medical care. That terfs are attempting to undermine that with this bullshit is not just sickening, it's terrifying. They really are doing so much harm.
Isn't it lovely that she links to preorders for her book but not to where she found the "fact"?
i have a cis man friend here in the uk who is o-neg and his blood has for SURE saved babies of every sex and i am so damn proud of him

July 27, 2023 - A tripwire takes out a full squad of riot police who were on their way to evict a squat in Brest, France. [video]
This is art, to me
[I.D. a gif of a group if five police officers, two with riot shields, walking down a corner of a street when one they run into the tripwire. all but one of them fall flat on their faces and each other while another approaching police group stops and watches. end I.D.]
There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Northern Gaza
honestly what a fucking iconic response. obviously “hello my name is inigo montoya” is the fucking ultimate but we were all building up this confrontation, this fight, this moment right there alongside inigo who had been doing so for 20 (twenty) fucking years ~and in all that time did he ever think the count would just run away? ha lol no~ but then the count just fucking runs away. and yes it’s a moment of perfect comedic delivery/timing, but it’s also a classic moment of subversion in this movie that is so close to being perfect if not for westley’s shitty moustache (kudos to buttercup for still loving him even after she saw that). this film dances so delicately with fulfilling and subverting tropes and it’s moments like this that just exemplifies that
It’s also a super reasonable move. Count Rugen just watched this guy kill like four guys so fast the first hadn’t finished falling down when the last one was stabbed. This dude is no joke, and now he’s like “Oh also this isn’t about the king, I’m specifically here to kill YOU” and here the Count is in just some random hallway and Inigo has a huge guy behind him as backup and… yeah, absolutely not. Fucking run.
And I think that’s a big part of what makes it so funny, it’s not just that he’s subverting your expectations it’s that this is legitimately also the smart thing to do.
