To anyone who was saying lizzie looked uncomfortable or scared while someone filmed this. Here's a tweet from the person who actually filmed lizzie at comfest saying "Hi, I'm your mom"
Lizzie fans love her too much to ever want to purposely do anything to hurt her or make her uncomfortable.
We (@skylark913 and I) are here at ComFest, a local community festival built on equality, justice, and connection. In light of news today, we wish to speak to everyone:
Today, we recognize the inherent right of sovereignty of every person: the ability of each of us to determine our path and our own needs.
We recognize that as Priests, as a Grove, and as humans, it is incumbent on us to hold our fellows when they are hurting, and to be there for those who need us.
We commit to doing the work to be a space that is safe for those who need it, and to help our members, friends, and extended community through these coming days.
We will be here, holding our light, when you need us, and we are on your side.
Let’s do the work we need to do to make this right.
DJBC Tumblr Summer 22 - The DJBC Happy Hour Takes The Bozo Stage
The second day of Comfest (Community Festival) kicked off with the DJBC emceeing the Bozo Stage, which is the Main Stage of Comfest. Wednesday Wine, Brian Clash Griffin and the Coffee House Rebels, and 10 Ahead were the acts during the DJBC's emceeing duties, before passing on the baton during the Comfest Awards Ceremony, which closed out the emceeing duties.
The DJBC talked about voting rights, WCRS, and the basics of Comfest, and even the (air conditioned) Comfest Museum in the Shelterhouse (located directly behind the Bozo Stage).

Background
2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the Columbus Community Festival, a.k.a. – COMFEST.
This has been an annual event that has brought music, vendors, and activism to Goodale Park for as long as we can remember.

Created for the Magical Trans Comfest 2023 & the Prompt "Ribbon".
Honestly, I don't know what came over me, but I had such a blast creating this! You might've seen those videos of artists editing Disney screenshots to whatever theme, and I did exactly that: I drarry-fied (and trans-ed lmao) Hercules! (So this isn't entirely original art, just keep that in mind)
Since I've read Falling for a Golden Boy by @stargazing-enby I've seen Draco as Megara and Harry as Hercules, so THANK YOU DOOM for the inspiration! <3
Big thanks to our amazing Mods, they deserve every bit of Love! @magicaltrans
For the third consecutive year, we are running the MT comfest! With new prompts, fresh out of the oven, we cannot wait to see what you'll offer the world! This fest is meant to provide comfort and a sense of community to those who might have a hard time during the holidays, and those who want to spread warmth during this time! Thank you @basicallyahedgehog for your beautiful graphics.
This is a very informal fest, so there is no hard deadline and you don’t have to sign up– all you have to do is create your work, and then post it into the collection once it’s open! The rules are the same as last year– above all, we ask for respect and kindness in both creating and interacting with this fest. Your creation must also have a positive tone, be an HP work, be thoroughly tagged, and contain at least one trans character. Works can be mature or explicit as long as they are tagged appropriately and the creator is over 18. You do not have to be part of the server to participate, though we’d love for you to join!
You can produce whatever you feel comfortable with, whether it be a drabble, a long one-shot, a doodle, a time-consuming fanart, a podfic, a collage, a fic-bind, a headcanon post… whatever you want!
The fest will run for three days and we are providing prompts for inspiration, but feel free to pick and choose or completely ignore them if you have other ideas! The collection will be opened closer to the date of publishing. In the meantime, feel free to check out the great works from last year’s fest!
You might have peeked two sets of prompts earlier on this post. For extra spiciness, we got you another entire new set of prompts! We have the regular prompts, and same as last year, they can be combined or used on their own. Then you have the dual prompts, who go together and don't bear really well to be separeted. Have fun!
