in my best Lee Jordan impersonation: 

”Hufflepuff's keeper impresses us again with another fantastic save, Gryffindor better focus,... what is Gryffindor’s number 3, Lance McClain, celebrating for? Is that-? for Merlin's beard!  I DIDN'T NOTICE WHEN BUT SURELY ENOUGH THAT McCLAIN HAS A GOOD EYE! Keith Kogane got the golden snitch and the game is over!  Another win that takes the red lions directly to the cup!“

-Few things are as exciting s running from Acromantulas in the forbidden Forest, but for Lance, winning his first quidditch cup is enough to make him forget Keith is his (supposed) rival and just celebrate!  -Keith is sure he likes this group of people, his friends. Spending time in the duelling club  and even when they end up in the infarmary he knows he can count on all of them... but Lance is in another level sometimes he gets on his nerves and other times it is like they both are in sync.

why lini, why haven't you followed this AU since 2019?

I have my reservations due to the terf believes of said author. what it means to even follow this au?

I loved working on this Hogwarts AU and I probably still would like to finish it, but, in the big scheme of things and the current ongoing situation with said author and her transphobic agenda is it even worth it?

It pains me personally to leave things incomplete ( you don't imagine how much) I don't give up, I don't back out I don't walk away, that is a principle I try to live by. But also I am smarter than that and I know how to choose my battles, you know? I have never been an impulsive person and yeah it did take me fucking years to sort out my feelings about this specific project (I also don't think about it all the time or anything like that).

One of my "fuck it I'll finish it" arguments is that this is such niche content that it won't affect anything, won't even generate a hp buzz or any single revenue money to jkr, and why should I abandon something I enjoy doing because a white rich woman on the other side of the world decided to be a hateful terf, as if she was the only one? why is it that I have to do anything about it when it is honestly so far removed from any sphere of influence I hold it is laughable?

The core of my inner debate is, and it is a very important thing for me: I never, ever wanted to be an author. That's not my jam, I actually loathe creating my own stories, and putting them out there spikes my anxiety... but I am a visual storyteller. That's why I do fanart in the first place! and I went into storyboarding as a career! Getting already-constructed characters and placing them in already-given situations is all I ever wanted to do. And I am good at it.

Adding to that, both of these media are DECIDEDLY mediocre, not even having the decency to be bad, and that's why they are like a honeypot for fan creations to me. Building on top of that,  just fixing and expanding on their universe and characters is so much fun... and this comic was the culmination of that. A story that was done in my head in less than 2 weeks, because I’ve known source material like te back of my hand, something from two of my favorite mediocre media that I could expand, enjoy and share (gosh it still makes my fingertips tingle by the idea of drawing all the things I wanted!!) A true passion project.

I am of the "grew up with harry potter" generation and I hold a LOT of cursed knowledge about it. It was never perfect but it was (is?) something I share with childhood friends, with my family, heck, even with strangers of any generation and across countries ( it did make my day more than once while living abroad ). The sob stories are many tbh.

But nothing of that matters when it's between my sorry feelings and real things that hurt real people  -> harry potter being related to jkr and the politics she is using against trans people's lives and the money she pours into her dumb believes.

... So this big old post is just stating something that I already knew but probably didn't want to admit because it's a little bit like abandoning something I really wanted to do and feels really unfair.

I did promise to tell a couple of people how the story would have gone if I decided to not ..... to not do it. But I don’t know if it matters.

I'm just gonna unwind for a minute here tho. 

I loved working on it, truly, I used my favorite sboarding method, I had everything, and i mean EVERYTHING planned, it was soft au where everyone lives it was about my own thesis on how patronuses worked, it was first and foremost about hope and loss, how important it is to me personally because I lost my cat and I thought i would never be able to storyboard again and that I did everything for nothing so I probably put all that into this AU in ways I didn't think I was able to and I loved it and all was still for fucking nothing HA!. ...And it looked GLORIOUS. I was gonna make a BIG OLD PDF and retype everything just so it was readable and it looked so nice, It is 149 pages and I was just in the literal middle of the story and was excited to keep going!! the thing I struggled the most was to keep on track with the plot but I was learning to deal with a longer story format. I was gonna try and work on it with a friend who gave up on creating their own stuff, and to date, I have not been able to storyboard like this again bc they don't give me the time to put that much care into my daily job. Nor I know enough about anything else or have the will to try to do something as ambitious and irrelevant anymore. And my blood boils because it is so unfair that I have a fucking conscience and basic human empathy,

After this one moment when Allura realises Alfor’s pet (a Kneazle cat) was pregnant with 5 kittens , and since everyone is so busy with trying to cast their patronus, Allura has been spending her free time with the kittens (they are around 6 - 7 weeks old )
