Self-taught sculptor Romain Langlais turned to bronze, a metal he now incorporates into works that are inspired by nature rather than man. His pieces visually pull apart the natural objects that surround us—building works that appear as bisected rocks, boulders, and tree trunks. These sculptures showcase glistening bronze protruding from their insides, unleashing the perceived inner energy of each object.

One of the officers walked over to them, holding his hat in his hands. Katsuki had to sidestep, crane his neck to see around him. He wasn’t about to lose sight of the villain, even if he had been restrained already.

“Thank you Edgeshot,” the officer said, “And—it’s Dynamight, correct?”

Nearly in the car, the villain dug his heels in and looked over his shoulder. His eyes locked on Katsuki’s face, and he mouthed, Kill Deku.

It was silent, but Katsuki heard the voice like he heard his own thoughts. It came with a cloying sensation, dirt in his mouth, cloth around his throat. Then the nearest officer shoved the villain into the car.

Well you see. There was a good gif of the new harry potter series on my mutual's blog. And I reblogged it.

Less facetiously: people are allowed to think whatever they want about jk rowling. However, the most-sold book series in history doesn't just... y'know, vanish from culture at-large because people stopped liking its author.

For the past decade and a half the political side of fandom culture has continuously been trying to turn Harry Potter into a shibboleth. Originally it was that you showed you were a good progressive ally by comparing every conservative political figure to Voldemort and the Death Eaters and anyone opposing them as plucky young adult protagonists. I distinctly remember the exasperated refrain of "read another book" because political discourse was just that oversaturated with such comparisons.

And then Rowling went against the mainstream progressive grain on gender politics and went from a celebrated leftist figure to The Actual Devil more or less overnight, and suddenly the way to show off how enlightened and progressive you were was by how much you hated the series and how hard you could harass people who didn't hate it enough. It has progressed firmly past the point of any actual criticism of the books or of rowling herself and into 'if you like this thing or are even neutral towards it, it is because you are The Outgroup' territory. It's boogeyman thinking.

It's going into random people's inboxes to try to passive-aggressively police what they put on their blog and throwing a fit when they don't bend the knee, or sending mass death threats and verbal abuse to streamers for playing a video game. It's seeing someone reblog a gif and responding with "by doing this you are literally killing trans people," an accusation that is self-evidently, absurdly false to everyone who doesn't already believe it. At its best it makes the person saying it look like they have absolutely zero sense of proportion, and at its worst it becomes functionally indistinguishable from any other form of internet harassment that seeks out a veneer of self-justification.
