I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

How Many More Times Can We Say It? Your Harry Potter Addiction Is Funding Transphobia

When one person can give £70,000 to a hate group's legal funds, maybe it's time to bin the Dobby plushies.

Here's your periodic reminder of why it's so important not to buy any Harry Potter merch or watch anything JKR profits from.

It isn't about cancelling problematic media, idgaf. We're capable of reading books we already own with a critical eye.

It's about not giving more power to someone who is using it to materially harm our community.

And yes that includes that shitty video game, yes that includes the Lego sets, yes it includes visiting the theme park. Stop giving Transphobia Georg money.

And if you still have a Hogwarts house listed in your bio... delete that shit.

Sometimes it's worth establishing limits/constraints on a project just so you can complete it, if completion is more important than anything else. Those constraints can lead you into new creative avenues and honing otherwise neglected/unfamiliar skills. (see: writing flash fiction, which is under 1000 or 1500 words depending on where you are. learning to be brief translates to so many other things, making every word have punch, and if you're trying to do month-long events, that brevity may be key to completing the event)

Lol the number of times I've been writing and thought, "Wow this intro is too long," and then realized I can just stop at the end of the intro and make it a short fic 🤣

Also, dialogue-only fics are fabulous for honing your skills while keeping writing time down. Especially with "banter" ships like House/Wilson, John/Sherlock (in all iterations), and from SGA, McKay/anyone.

ok finished veilguard - spoilers below

the final missions were very exciting and fun! seeing solas as the dreadwolf finally was so good, I loved seeing him fight the archdemon in the background

solas/lavellen reunion was OK... most of it was in elvhen and I didn't have subs on so no idea what they said tbh lmao

lavellan looked bored the whole time though and she just walked around stoically, I didn't get much emotion from her :(

I kinda wish I had fought solas at the end instead of talking him out of it after seeing how bland the reunion was

the ending narration felt a bit too meta, especially given the emphasis on stories coming before (that they didn't even "honor")

what was that credits song? so out of place imo

was the single mention of "veilguard" really in the credits???

I don't like this secret puppetmaster group thing they decided to shove in right at the end

[wearenotshepard]

ok ok I'll give bioware this, they really cooked on Solas and the end missions

[shipperwolf1]

It's definitely about the dagger

[academicblorbo]

The photo is not very good and I still need to wash and iron it, but I couldn't wait to show my first ever big cross stitch project;

Love how it turned out, especially with the green embroidery thread (cotton thread on linen)

[wearenotshepard]

ok veilguard has grown on me (took a few weeks though), especially after seeing Emmrich's quest to its conclusion (spoilers below)

bruh when vorgoth comes out with the bloody dagger at the lich ritual...

and now he's just a full on skeleton??? a skeleton you can bone? how does that work?

the only thing I dislike in his story is how he changes into a full on undead skeleton and everyone is like "haha you're so quirky emmrich" and only offer mild surprise

at least one of you guys should despise him or be terrified of him, surely? that would feel deeper

If you're a writer you're supposed to write a lot of bullshit. It's part of the gig. You have to write a lot of absolute garbage in order to get to the good bits. Every once in a while you'll be like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time writing bullshit," but that's dumb. That's exactly the same as an Olympic runner being like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time running all those practice laps"

I bang my head for days against the walls inside this maze

I've never been too good at this damn kind of thing
