#personal views

Just because I still love the HP universe & proudly show that I’m a Hufflepuff doesn’t mean I support JKR. The HP Universe was my childhood & I’m not about to feel shame about liking it just because the author has some vile views on trans people. What she made vs how she acts are two separate things. What she says about trans people is disgusting. I do not agree with her. The only thing I’m glad she did was create the HP Universe & consequently, the F.B.A.W.T.F.T film. I love the world she created. I love the magical creatures that inhabit it. I love dressing up & showing my house pride. I love collecting Hufflepuff things.

I don’t love the author. I don’t agree with her views. I think everyone should be able to be themselves without judgement. Some of you need to learn to separate the art from the artist. “But Pandere, buying merch / Hogwarts Legacy supports her so that must mean you support her views”

First off with buying merch; Almost everything I have bought was before this whole thing blew up. I have bought a knockoff uniform recently because there’s no way in a world with or without a transphobic author, I am spending £40+ on a glorified dressing up costume. Secondly with Hogwarts Legacy. I bought it on sale (£6). JKR has more than enough money to last her a lifetime. £6 isn’t gonna make her ascend to godhood. I bought it because I like magical creatures. I love pretending to be a proper hufflepuff student. I truly enjoy playing the game.

I do not enjoy being seen as a horrible creature for playing said game. The HP Universe is & will always be one if not the most special interest to me. If you don’t vibe with this statement, you may continue scrolling. At the end of the day, I get so much joy from playing the game that if I’m seen as a vile creature so be it. I’m playing something that’s sparking joy. I value my happiness over pleasing everyone & anyone else.

The new Avatar the last air-bender is not exactly like the original. However, what is important is that it had the core values of the show at its heart and I think they handled it very well. They had 8 hour long episodes to tell a 23 (I think) 20 minute episode series and yes they fudged the timelines a bit but the essential story was there and it was GOOD.

The pacing was immaculate, the characterisation of Zuko was so fricking good, the CGI was on point.

Could it have been a bit funnier? Yes

Am I a little sad that they erased Sokka’s original journey? Yeah

But they did it pretty well in my opinion by keeping his core values the same.

Maybe we are all too close to the show because we grew up with it, and now we are toddlers with the wrong plushie before bed. But at the core of its story telling it is faithful to the source material and authentic to the representation of each character. And for that I can never be mad at it.

So, we all remember when the Wild split up The Deweys, and the reasoning was "Hey, young talented players, they deserve play-off experience and we want what's best for them *cough* can't afford to pay talent *cough*," yes?

We, the carers and feeders of ridiculous relationships that are real and evident and exist and bring tears to peoples' eyes, saw that splitting up the boys did what the suits said, experience, experience, etc, etc.

So, with Ullmark to the Sens, we are breaking up a relationship that is real and evident and exists and brings tears to peoples' eyes, because the partnership has outgrown itself - mentee overshadowing mentor - and *cough* money *cough*.

And lo and behold, both Deweys ended up in the post-season, on shiny teams that did well.

What does this all mean? *shrugs* Who knows. It's already been stated that it's a one year deal, Ullmark isn't going to re-sign with the Sens. Buuut, he declined a trade earlier with his no-movement clause, so why now, why the Sens, why break our hearts?

Is he sacrificing himself for Sway's future (yes), or is Ottawa a really great place to live for a year (um, maybe?). Why do I pick the self-sacrifice flavour of explanation? Because of this: what is different between this trade and the earlier, refused, trade? The play-offs. Specifically, Sway's experience and performance in the play-offs.

Thus, like the Deweys, a great relationship that is real and evident and exists and brings tears to peoples' eyes ends because some players are just too gosh darn good, and other people think they should have all the good things. Even us, the carers and feeders of ridiculous relationships, because we did have it and we did care, and that doesn't change.

I never share this view as it sadly is a controversial view nowadays and one that people will react strongly to/mock me for, but that for me will only prove both my views. I hate how society is with the police. So we have said that we should not judge the actions of an individual as the actions of the many, that everyone deserves respect and equal rights, that harming people is bad, violence is bad, that people aren't their careers, it is wrong to kill, it it wrong to get joy out of people killing others, it is wrong to celebrate peoples deaths (unless they were incredibly bad people), and that we just need to care for one another as people. Yet the moment the police are mentioned, all cops are bad, all cops deserve to die, people laugh when they get killed, people encourage violence towards them, it doesn't matter who they are or what they've done, they are a bad person and deserve no remorse. Literally everything society says and i feel what we are all fighting for, suddenly it's the complete opposite when it comes to the police, but that's okay and correct? I don't get it? I find it upsetting, hypocritical, and backwards. And this isn't to say police aren't bad, power hungry, have complexes, and haven't done bad things. But there are minorities who are like that, so why does on matter and the other doesn't?

I also am just SOOOOO fucking sick of extreme reactions and violence. Wanna know what happens literally any time i share anything online lately? I have literally at least one, but usually multiple people, who are complete dicks for no reason. This includes sharing my art, photos of otters, my night terrors, dealing with QAnon people, photos of Roxy, asking people if they are a morning or night person, sharing that i took a walk, sharing that i was groomed, venting about being unable to sleep, sharing photos of my plants, sharing that i was stalked, sharing a photo of my eye, and asking people what made them happy last year. I could go on, but these are all things recently that i have shared online, and i have had at least one, but usually multiple people insult me over, get nasty, mock me, and just react so strongly and negatively for absolutely no reason? And people say "Welcome to the internet!" but it is because i have spent so much time on here that i am sick of it. And i swear it has gotten worse!

But even other things, like corporations at Pride. Do you know what? Personally i would rather corporations shell out for my money and potentially pretend to be an ally, pissing off their homophobic customers and slowly normalising the LGBT+ community, than be hated and assaulted for being gay. Which i have been. Multiple times. Yet people react as if corporations celebrating Pride is as bad as that assault! And that's the thing, this isn't political as any and all sides do it! I am just so incredibly sick of people just always being so hateful and negative and constantly having such violent and strong reactions to things just cause! Like, this random asshole this morning literally admitted he was randomly a dick to me just cause he felt like it, that was it. Why!?! And i deal with this daily! Often multiple times daily! But it is in real life too, people are becoming the same in person! A few times now i have literally put my phone on silent and only checked it when i wanted to, as i am at my limit of this unrelenting stream of bullshit that hits me daily.

Part 3

Hi, anon! Well, this is the third part of a series of asks, since another two anons asked about “bjyx evidence”.

Part 1: the “biggest” moments/clues/hints (I interpreted this one as “the most likely to be real” moments, but ofc, it carries a little bit of my personal opinion as to which are more likely to be real).

Part 2: “strongest” evidence (again, from my pov).

So, in short, your ask can be answered with the posts I’ve linked there. But I wanted to add a little bit of my own experience, and why I’m more open to the possibility of gg and dd being a couple.

I think part of the reason why I was ready to accept the possibility was because of the strong feeling of déjà vu whenever I saw gg and dd playing around each other on bts, interviews and events.

It’s a more “personal experience” kind of post, so I’ll leave a cut here in case any of you isn’t interested.

She needs to separate her person beliefs from work…

Wtf is she thinking? I obviously vehemently disagree with her stance, but either way, she shouldn’t be preaching this stuff at work.
