HPConsent Fest Returns!

After a long hiatus (life, am I right?), HPConsent Fest is back, and we’re so ready to dive once again into stories that celebrate consent in all its beautiful, complex forms.

We believe in exploring what it means to choose, to communicate, and to care in every kind of relationship across the wizarding world. From awkward first kisses to hard-won trust between old friends, from soft-spoken boundaries to powerful affirmations of “yes.”

Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more info on dates, prompts, and how to join the magic!

Because the best spells are the ones cast with consent. 🪄 ❤️

@parkkate commissioned me to draw this scene from her Consent Fest piece, You Set My Soul Alight. I highly recommend you go read it!-- It is an honest, nuanced, and heartfelt exploration of what it means to both give and get consent--as well as the importance of communication with your partner and yourself--with a delightful balance of humor, mystery, heartache, and reconciliation, delivered beautifully in Kate’s masterful writing. 

(There’s a nice dose of romance too, of course, with all the best: bed sharing, UST, enemies to lovers... Go read it and you, too, will have your soul set alight~  ~ 😘)

I had so much fun working on this comic, thank you Kate!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Do the clothes make the man?

Ron Weasley thinks he has no chance, until one night when he dresses up and Blaise Zabini can’t take his eyes off him. The solution is easy, then, right? Ron just has to keep dressing up, and Blaise will keep wanting him. But every time Ron puts the new clothes on, he’s sent spiraling off into a past filled with insecurity. Will he really be able to keep this up without going completely bonkers? And what does Blaise actually want from him, anyway?

If you haven’t read this fic yet, don’t forget to add it to your To-read list. It’s brilliant

Guys. Consent Fest has almost started posting and I am so incredibly hype about this year’s fest (and not only because I wrote a thing, but also, I wrote a thing).

Consent is such an important topic and I’m thrilled that (1) the fest exists and (2) that I was able to participate again. There’s so many talented creators participating; I high-key recommend checking it out!

Such a great story! I loved the different perspectives, especially since it shows how big Albus' support system is.

Happy Reading!
