I absolutely had to draw Harry with tattoos after reading ‘The Ferret’s Nest’ by @l0vegl0wsinthedark , it was a NEED
I tried my best with the placement of the tattoos since some of them weren’t specifically placed in any place so I hope it looks decent wjshsjdj but yes Harry with tattoos >>>>>>>>> ( Draco would agree)
So, a short while back, someone messaged me asking to tone down the Harry Potter stuff: since, bad tone and all, in the light of recent news of JKR being a giant TERF doing her best to dehumanize the already vulnerable UK trans community...
Which has been an indisputable fact. For years. Fifty, hell, sixty shades of all sorts of valid that JKR’s TERFdom is a stain that bears to be rehashed until it’s driven home and beaten like a dead horse and then lashed with collective consensual passion and fury forever more. If you are an ally, Anon, thank you for your rage and your dedication. I appreciate you saying something. It matters.
If you are one of us, going through some tough times as I did a few years back, deciding which inspiration to keep on functioning day to day you may abandon and which you must reclaim; what parts of your own past survival you must not surrender because they are yours to keep: all the best to you. If necessary, may you scream into the void for as long as it takes but also find hope and healing at the end.
(On a personal note, I couldn’t reply but picture me biting my fist, doing my best not to, since... it’s not about me, but in case I’m like you, you do know I’m trans, right?)
Instead, mysterious stranger and anyone else, you may have this picture of a quiet afternoon in the life of Harry Potter reading Harriet Porber of Chuck Tingle’s fame. Pair image to The Crownless (Severus reading LOTR). Not quite the response anyone hopes for. Regardless, thank you for caring deeply enough in the middle of the night (or morning, or afternoon, or evening) to type out a message to a stranger. As all of us, may you find some rest and peace at the end of the day.
I can’t find a good quote for this, I really can’t. I’m just going to go with...
“While this type of situation is not for everyone, it is not entirely uncommon in a community known as BDSM (Bigfeet and Dinosaurs Screaming Meanly).”
Reasons for my absence is because the new Hogwarts Legacy game just dropped and I've been playing so much! It's an amazing RPG, with such a huge tie to my childhood with Harry Potter.
I'm convinced that in twwohp someone has created some kind of charmed snitch that when used as a drop-object will get up in the necessary person's face
Feels about the right time to repost this article again too.
Why Misogynists Make Great Informants: How Gender Violence on the Left Enables State Violence in Radical Movements
"By not allowing misogyny to take root in our communities and movements, we not only protect ourselves from the efforts of the state to destroy our work but also create stronger movements that cannot be destroyed from within."
