the thing that sucks most about Joanne Rowling being a terf is that she is actively hurting real life trans people every day.

the second worst thing about joanne being a terf is that the Harry Potter intellectual property is So Much Larger than her. look at the credits for just one of the harry potter movies. every single one of those people put YEARS of time and effort and dare i say love into those films. think of all the people involved in theme park design and operation who put together the wizarding world park lands and detailed them so lovingly and fully

and yet even though the intellectual property of harry potter is so much larger than joanne, she's poisoned the whole well

i feel so. so immensely sorry for every person involved in the harry potter ip who isn't jkr. doubly sorry for every trans person involved. it's fucking sad

I want to be very clear, before we have a category 4 piss on the poor moment, that this post is not saying "it's ok to like Harry Potter still because other people were involved in it, and the ip is larger than jkr" NO! you must fully divest yourself from the harry potter intellectual property!

if you go to universal studios, it's fine to ride the rides and appreciate them on a theme park artistry level. jkr had nothing to do with the engineering. and you're already there for other reasons--riding the rides doesn't give any more money to jkr. but do NOT buy any hp branded merch, at the parks or anywhere else! that's where joanne makes her money! hp merch funds anti-trans legislation! almost directly!

"What about buying indie merch? What if I buy from artists on etsy? Nothing goes to JKR then..." I hear you cry. and you have a point. that's harm reduction. buying indie merch is unambiguously better than buying licensed merch.

but you must be aware that it still makes trans people feel unsafe. you become schrodinger's terf. i see people with hogwarts houses in their bios and i feel a chill. i see cars with glasses-and-lightning-scar bumper stickers and i have to wonder if those people literally wants my wife dead or if they're just clueless.

it's just horrifically sad that so many people put so much love and years of work and artistry and blood sweat tears etc into an IP that is now retroactively so emblematic of transphobia

I thinks folks expressing incredulity at the quality of the writing and composition in Calvin and Hobbes are often missing the context that Bill Watterson is arguably the most influential sequential artist of his generation. Like, this is a guy who once told the editors of nationally syndicated newspapers to go fuck themselves when they wanted to mess with his panel layouts, and not only did he keep his job, he got his way. He could have had literally any gig he wanted, and he chose to be the Sunday funnies guy because that's what made him happy. He's basically the Weird Al of sequential art.

Saints of Warding: Hungry Demons (RE8 fan comic)

Hi everyone! I am finally getting around to posting this project I've been working on for the past while.

Welcome to the title page for Saints of Warding: Hungry Demons, a Resident Evil Village fancomic! This is an adaptation of @trout-scout's fic of the same name, which can be read here. I hope you enjoy it!

ON TUMBLR: Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

ALT HOSTING: Saints of Warding on tapas

[Contains canon-typical violence and coarse language.]

This fic and this fancomic are simply magnificent 💖

(I have a feeling that RE9 will be announced just in a week or two at the Playstation Showcase, so I'm in a nostalgic mood for all my favourite RE8 creations and memories.)

You may remember that I once told you something about the Halligen in the North Sea? Those mini islands where sometimes there is only one house and they are regularly under water and only the house is still dry? Well, the inhabitants have to commute from the mainland to the Hallig with a wagon and that only works when the water is low. This is what the whole thing looks like .... a bit creepy, isn't it ?
