(here's the deal. I'm a trans woman. If you're still supporting Harry Potter in the Year of Zodiark 2026, then you need to just get off my timeline. We cannot be friends, because you're ACTIVELY funding my harm. I don't want to hear "but," if you say "but," then as David Lynch said FIX YOUR HEART.)

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

My one question to anyone who continues to consume this kind of media: Does this media mean more to you than the life, safety, and wellbeing of trans, gender nonconforming, and queer people? And if you think of starting your answer with "but" then I need you to reevaluate your priorities.

pleasure of ending. Regula van FUCKING Hydrus. Did I mention that fucker killed Ysayle? Sha'dow would drag him back from the dead, then call Asmodeus from the Hells, just to make sure that the bastard suffers ETERNALLY for what he did, explaining "you took from me that which is precious..." ⤵️

"I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of '25 But I am still alive..." (Literally Sha'dow's theme song, too)

(wait, hold on, apparently I have misunderstood the definition of a crack ship. I understood it as one that was highly unlikely because canon circumstances the two characters never or rarely met. Not "non canon in your headcanon." Yeah no all those are very serious to Sha'dow and VERY canon to me🤣)

also fairly cracked. My WoL actually has children by them that they're unaware of until after 5.0 (which means that yes, the Waking Sands Massacre has happened by then). Triplets (a son and two daughters) with Painefort and a daughter with Meulchamps. Sha'dow has... A lot of kids, actually. ⤵️
