i. about 2 weeks ago, i was told there's a good chance that in 5 or so years, i'll need a wheelchair.

ii. okay. i loved harry potter as a kid. i have a hypothesis about this to be honest - why people still kind of like it. it's that she got very lucky. she managed to make a cross-generational hit. it was something shared for both parents and kids. it was right at the start of a huge cultural shift from pre to post-internet. i genuinely think many people were just seeking community; not her writing. it was a nice shorthand to create connection. which is a long way of saying - she didn't build this legacy, we built it for her. she got lucky, just once. that's all.

iii. to be real with you, i still struggle with identifying as someone with a disability, which is wild, especially given the ways my life has changed. i always come up against internalized ableism and shame - convinced even right now that i'm faking it for attention. i passed out in a grocery store recently. i hit my head on the shelves while i went down.

iv. he raises his eyebrows while he sends me a look. her most recent new book has POTS featured in it. okay, i say. i already don't like where this is going. we both take another bite of ramen. it is a trait of the villain, he says. we both roll our eyes about it.

v. so one of the things about being nonbinary but previously super into harry potter is that i super hate jk rowling. but it is also not good for my mental health to regret any form of joy i engaged with as a kid. i can't punish my young self for being so into the books - it was a passion, and it was how i made most of my friends. everyone knew about it. i felt like everyone had my same joy, my same fixation. as a "weird kid", this sense of belonging resonated with me so loudly that i would have done anything to protect it.

vi. as a present, my parents once took me out of school to go see the second movie. it is an incredibly precious memory: my mom straight-up lying about a dentist appointment. us snickering and sneaking into the weekday matinee. within seven years of this experience, the internet would be a necessity to get my homework finished. the world had permanently changed. harry potter was a relic, a way any of us could hold onto something of the analog.

vii. by sheer luck, the year that i started figuring out the whole gender fluid thing was also the first year people started to point out that she might have some internalized biases. i remember tumblr before that; how often her name was treated as godhood. how harry potter was kind of a word synonymous for "nerdy but cool." i would walk out of that year tasting he/him and they/them; she would walk out snarling and snapping about it.

viii. when i teach older kids creative writing, i usually tell them - so, she did change the face of young adult fiction, there's no denying that. she had a lot more opportunities than many of us will - there were more publishing houses, less push for "virally" popular content creators. but beyond reading another book, we need to write more books. we need to uplift the voices of those who remain unrepresented. we need to push for an exposure to the bigotry baked into the publishing system. and i promise you: you can write better than she ever did. nothing she did was what was magical - it was the way that the community responded to it.

ix. i get home from ramen. three other people have screenshotted the POTS thing and sent it to me. can you fucking believe we're still hearing this shit from her when it's almost twenty-fucking-twenty-three. the villain is notably also popular on tumblr. i just think that's funny. this woman is a billionaire and she's mad that she can't control the opinions of some people on a dying blue site that makes no money. lady, and i mean this - get a fucking life.

x. i am sorry to the kid i was. maybe the kid you were too. none of us deserved to see something like this ruined. that thing used to be precious to me. and now - all those good times; measured into dust.

/// 9.6.2022 // FUCKING AGAIN, JK? Are you fucking kidding me?

#witches and wizards #kids need to be able to play games without knowing the extended universe #playing was easy #i knew i wasn't gonna be able to explain chronicles of christomancy #but we could pick up a stick and run around #nd say we were magic that would be enough backstory #and i think the last time i felt that sense of community #was the summer of pokemon go #it's about cross-generational connectivity bro #yes there are insular communtities but EVERYONE had fucking read harry potter #which is me saying - i think maybe people don't miss HER or the ACTUAL BOOK tbh #they miss... feeling connected #think about how so many people felt so weirdly ashamed and lost after Game of Thrones ended - #they did SUCH a bad job that the entire community just... vanished. #where beforehand people would have GoT weddings #we are just animals who love stories and love feeling like we speak the same language #btw i am not on twitter so i hadn't seen some of the shit she was doing #and then when i was 19 she published the ''american school'' hogwarts stuff #and was reading it casually bc again a huge nerd #and in it shes like ''the british taught the natives their more civilized magics'' #and that was like..................... oh okay. okay. so.....

Given that bi han canonically has said “you turned Kuai Liang against me” he would no doubt say some edgy shit like

“YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER”

#bi han 🤝 anakin- being my favorite edgelords #if only bi Hans writing was as good as anakins #they made anakin edgy but gave him depth and personality #they just need to give bi han a LITTLE bit of that and he’d be actually perfect #can you tell he’s my favorite yet? #he’s got so much potential I just hope they don’t squander it #he’d look SICK in anakins revenge of the sith outfit #hmmmmm #I might doodle but I doubt it #I always say I’m gonna do something and then I either forget or don’t wanna do it #such is the way of the artist #sucks really cause I got some wicked ideas #some that I don’t know if you all could handle #YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH #aha just kidding #or am I #who knows #WAIT OMG #THEY BOTH GOT BURNED IN A WAY AND BROUGHT “’BACK’ AGAINST THEIR WILLS #TO A DARK MASTER WITH MAGIC HANDS #OMG THEYRE PARALLELS #IM CALLING IT #BI HAN IS MK ANAKIN #LIKE DAMN OKAY #AND BOTH OF THEIR OUTFITS ARE COMPLETELY BLACK WHEN THEYRE BROUGHT BACK #LIKE #do you get what I’m getting at here #SHEEEEESH

I know there's that whole stereotype of DMs and PCs hating each other or whatever but to be 100% honest the most joy I get out of D&D is when my players come up with some absolutely crazy batshit idea that should be absolutely impossible rules as written because as the DM I can choose to ignore that dumb nerd shit and just say "That sounds fucking rad dude, I'm giving you inspiration for that idea, now make an Acrobatics check."

#''Hey DM the mage cast fireball behind me can I sacrifice my Animated Shield to jump off it to try and launch myself at him?'' Like YES??? #That is fucking insane you can absolutely do that dude #What am I gonna do NOT take the opportunity to describe this insane paladin launching out of the blast still enwreathed in flame #Surrounded by shards of his shattering magical shield still crackling with arcane energy as they light up around him like stars #Looking almost like a miniature galaxy with this arbiter of divine wrath emerging from the supernova screaming in bloodlust and fury #lit dramatically from both the blast the arcane sparks and the flaming feathers from their burning cloak following them out of the blast #Flying through the air with weapons raised toward a wizard who is very VERY quickly shifting from smug to utterly fucking terrified? #Fucking absolutely you can do that dude that sounds sick as fuck #go OFF king #Pun's text Posts

[witch--tips]

you NEVER need to wait “until you have the money” to start practicing witchcraft. you do not need ANY money for witchcraft. you can have all the money in the world and practice witchcraft every single day without spending a single cent on it. everything you need you already have, inside of you and around you as well.

#i mean this literally. incredibly literally. #you can do advanced forms of magic without ANY MONEY. even if you live in a city and cant forage or anything. #you have YOURSELF. and you are a powerful being. #energy work! look at that! you need nothing for it! #you can INCLUDE ANYTHING in your craft #you dont even need to though #witch tips #witchblr #beginner witch #baby witch #closeted witch #closet witch #this is from a secular witchcraft perspective btw ik there are religious practices that require specific tools etc. but i know nothing abou #those because i am a pantheist pagan lmao #but i mean. i know a little bit about deity work so im also gonna say you don’t necessarily NEED anything to work with them either! #unless its a specific tradition youre following #but offerings can be actions instead of physical goods. you can do divination using like.. the clouds. #AND TECH MAGIC! if you can see this right now then you have every form of tech magic available to you right now. #txt

[what-is-it-to-be-pk-esque]

I am so... empty and happy and idk... experiencing withdrawal after that baldur's gate 3 epilogue yall

I can't get over everything around the endgame scenes with Karlach and Astarion (and I mean the "good" endings!), I am literally still processing it days later 😭

Plus Gale being a professor, free of the orb?? Shadowheart being at peace, finding herself and able to adopt the Owlbear?? Her visiting Gale and Tara for tea??? Making her own cider and wanting to do a reunion party every year??? Being invited to lecture Gale's students and bring Astarion too and also stay and chat in his tower??? Halsin gets to be a dad like he's always wanted with all the orphans??? Karlach has hope for a new engine and may return home and might be more than friends with Wyll??? Lae'zel raging her dream, riding red dragons and learning to be more diplomatic? Jaheira being Jaheria and Minsc visiting Astarion much to his dismay (and somehow when he's not with my Tav in the Underdark or looking for a cure lol)?? Just... everyone living their best lives??? All of the hugs!???? My heart is so full the more I think about it but I also want to see it in the game and not my head 😭

Only issue is who gets Scratch??? Where has he been the past 6 months and where is he staying afterwards?? Did I miss this detail??

Basically that epilogue is so so wholesome and hopeful. Got me feeling like this once again

#Karlach's speech after Gortash and the brain battle.... pain #Astarion basically experiencing true happiness in only 6 months... pain #but good pain lol #and im going out of town for a week wtf am i gonna do without this lovely game and these lovely characters to distract me from real life #cant start a new game til mid April 😩 #this game has consumed me fully for 2 months and then crushed me at the end #how am i going to talk to anyone about anything else lmfao #probably not helping that I'm tired af trying to change my sleep schedule for a new time zone #also I would love to see Astarion try to teach anything magic-related lmfao #in my game the man only knows firebolt and dance macabre #wtf is he going to be doing there in that classroom while my sorcerer tav is teaching lol #he'll just be there causing mischief in the apparently already not very studious class lol #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3 spoilers #Astarion #halsin #shadowheart #wyll #gale #jaheria #minsc #Karlach

it turns out that, in moving, i have traded out having to deal with many small spiders for having to deal with the occasional fuckoff huge one

#what the FUCK was that thing #ive never had such an instant-panic killing out of desperation moment #it was giant. i could see Everything and it was horrible #im still breathing a little too fast that was just. get me out of here #it was Fast and Big and Spindly #i havent seen many spiders here but every single one ive seen has been bigger than im comfy with #if only there was a magic spider-repelling spell i could cast around myself an a ten foot bubble... #unfortunately no such thing exists! #absolutely unprompted #im gonna be so much more paranoid than i already am #if THAT can get into this house. jesus fuck #id love to look up what it was but that would mean looking at high resolution spider pics and i dont think i can do that #currently looking up spiders #i love torturing myself #its like 'normal picture normal picture normal picture WOLF SPIDER FACE CLOSEUP normal picture-' #thank you webbed site for that jumpscare i feel unwell and not in a good way #YEP OKAY THAT WAS FAR TOO MANY SPIDER PICS AND I STILL DONT KNOW WHAT IT WAS #it was huge and light brown with long legs and it was fucking Fast

i made a video on Callum from the 5x08 episode. you know the one. paired with Taylor Swift’s illicit affairs based on this post:

hope ya’ll like it✨✨ @gender-cloud

#and fyi to anyone who gets a wrong impression; i am a rayllum shipper #once you really think about callum chosing to do dark magic it was to save rayla but it was to save all of them in the end #you think finnigrin was gonna let them live or off the hook? rayla was just 'punishment' for callum's defiance #and the first time he did it was to save rayla & ezran & the downed dragon #it's a fucked up situation and once it comes to saving your loved ones is there anything youre not willing to do? #the dragon prince #the dragon prince spoilers #the dragon prince season five #tdp season 5 #tdp callum #tdp rayla #rayllum #taylor swift #illicit affairs #mine #this took three days and that has never happened to me before #usually its like six to ten weeks so…wow #the power of rayllum #Youtube

i might have mentioned this sometime before but ive been thinking about it again: the reason why lime doesnt ask mochi out and vice versa for a while

Some time after mochi becomes a witch and lime has been in her guild, also after he becomes PAINFULLY aware of how he feels about her, theres a moment where he has a conversation with her (casual-like) fishing about how she would feel about getting a boyfriend. as long as hes known her, shes never gone on a date with anyone, no ones asked her out, and shes never mentioned having a crush on anyone to him. so during some conversation about something or another, he asks something along the lines of "Well when you get a boyfriend, he's gonna need to be okay with your weird witchiness I guess haha-- (lowkey interest check)"

and his plan here was IF she answers to some extent that she would like a boyfriend, he would ask her out. but instead she kinda smiles a bit and falls quiet, before responding "If I could have one..."

and when he asks what the hell that even means, she tells him the same thing pom and tiramisu told her when she first became a witch: "This isn't just some happy fun times, willy=nilly side hobby you treat carelessly. Your family legacy and more importantly, your life, are both constantly at risk and you need to always be focused on learning and mastering your magic as it grows. To that end, you don't have time to date and be in a relationship-- it'll only be a distraction to you and a weakness that can be exploited. You'll constantly be split between your magic and your partner. Either you won't be fully committed to your studies to spend time with them, or you won't be fully committed to them because of your studies. It's not a luxury you can afford. Until this is complete and you have full mastery of your magic to the point where you're not constantly in a state where you need to fight for your life, having a boyfriend is advised against."

and lime just kinda stays quiet for a bit, before going "...so no boyfriend until the magic shit is all done..."

and in his head hes thinking yeah, fine, that makes sense. I dont want to be a burden to her or distract her, and I dont want to cause more stress for her because pom is like an asian mom that constantly will remind her about what a bad decision it is. and this ALL hinges on the event that she wants to date him and it doesnt ruin their friendship. so he eventually decides fine. ill hold off on it for now, just be there for her however i can and i'll ask her out when this whole thing is done (and in the meantime, maybe i can gauge how much she likes me if at all, and if not i can try to get her to fall for me)

(worth noting he WANTS to ask her out right before the timeskip happens, something like "Hey we should go get ice cream tomorrow-- you know, to celebrate your magic reaching its full power and all." (where he was gonna ask her out for real), and she smiles and says "Sure!", but pom already told her she was leaving that night, and by the next morning shes gone)

#bpp #text #lore #anyway. i was thinking about this but i dont know if i ever reached a full-fledged explaintation #i was never a fan of shows where theyre like trying to save the world from destruction and one side of the couple is like #(you never have time for me!!!) OBVIOUSLY?!?! #anyway pom and tiramisus advice is to not...have that #in an idea situation the witch doesnt fucking fall in love before shes even a witch #but what can they do ig #that actually makes it worse bc she loves him so much shes WAY more likely to neglect her magic studies to hang out with him instead #vs a normal. not in love witch. navigating a relationship she could drop if she didnt love them #this same logic applies to the post=timeskip. maybe even worse because rather than mochi being in danger now the whole world actually is #or at least all the witches #and lime is like FUCK when am i gonna be able to ask her out?! #hes wayyy more dismissive of pom in the post-timeskip when pom is like (no!! she needs to focus!!) #and limes like (oh piss off cat shes been focusing for like 5 years she can go on a date or two DAMN)

today's repostober comes with a lot of words. because if i remember correctly i restrained myself from writing an essay at the time i made these. because look. all of the ut cast but especially papyrus belong in the harvest moon 64 world. i don't care if crossovers are cringe (are they? no don't answer because i really don't care). these are my two favorite video games and they go together like pb and j.

anyway first we have papyrus drinking water after water after water at the bar. this is an incredibly time consuming but free way to get unlimited energy to upgrade all your tools to the max on the first night. hypothetically. if you feel like spending. idk......20 hours or so of your life doing it......(he does) (sans does not). because not only is it free as in, costs no in game currency, time stands still inside the bar and in this game time IS MONEY. also "aren't you the healthy one?" is what the bartender says when you order the glass of water and I've only read it about one hundred million times in my life

a weird exploit exists at the horse races in which you can prepare to place an extravagant bet but withdraw it at the last moment. you pay nothing but the game considers the bet placed all the same. so you bet he will figure that out and take advantage of it!! seriously though, i just love the idea of the situation being a bit switched from the way it was in undertale. sans has a bit of a hard time finding his place in this weird surface world. (and yes i think he would stress about bills. what of it.) papyrus somehow finds his way into the hearts of every single person in the village. he is at the top of his game and everyone loves him!!!!!!!

#man i am getting myself excited about this crossover again #everything fits together perfectly. it's a beautiful puzzle and the answer is papyrus #ALL THE GIRLS HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM just like the real harvest moon #that's very important to me shhh just let me have this #all the characters and minor characters have places in this crossover i just didn't draw about them :) #oh. oh man. i am obsessed with the way papyrus can stop time by going into the bar and sans is aware of this yet can't do anything about it #HE HAS ALL THIS TIME NOW. AND H HE. ISN'T TRAPPED. WHAT'S HE GONNA DO?????? #you can't just switch off that part of you that's given up due to circumstances. oohhhhhhh no you have to unlearn that helplessness. #and on the other hand all your problems don't magically disappear if suddenly everyone loves you. papyrus has a lot to figure out too. #so fun to turn in my head and put together the pieces
