Okay but it's fun being a horny freak online

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.

There's people in the notes saying they're going to watch it anyway, and you know, I understand how you can start feeling so burned out and numb from the world that it may feel too hard to avoid things that will give you a little immediate relief in some way in order to avoid the long-term impact of funding these things.

But. If you can't bring yourself to avoid watching it, you better at least fucking pirate it.

FYI, Rowling posted this today. She is actively queerphobic, do not support this project in anyway.

I know that this was a foundational thing for so many people. I was one of them. Without Harry Potter, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today.

If you're thinking about watching this anyway because you feel all that nostalgia: It's time to grow up. It's time to move on.

Don't even hate watch it. Make it fail.

It is the easiest thing ever to simply not do anything.

On the left, the classic Mimic! Can turn into anything around 4-8 feet (1.2-2.4 m) around. Once you touch it you stick to it and it grabs you with its pseudopods and/or giant mouth. And THESE mimics are actually clever with getting you to touch them, and only get better with age. A bookshelf full of books with one that's crooked, a door with a convenient peephole, dried up fountain with a coin in it. Though lets be real, it could just openly reveal itself to change into kinky equipment and most people following the blog would hop in without question. A sturdy stool with a hole in it can go for hundreds easy, and this has self binding restraints and tentacle whips.

On the right, the shield archon! Every Archon embodies a virtue, evolving as they grow stronger. This is Courage, defender of the weak and meek, magically forcing enemies to attack only them or teleporting to swap places and absorb hits. That lance and shield can turn back into hands at will, and they have amazing endurance and strength. Look, these ones are fairly straightforward for our purposes, the can fly and teleport but its abilities are mostly just making it hard to kill.

Dear @thecreaturecodex

I just want to publicly state that your work is absolutely incredible and a delight to browse when I have time to kill. You're phenomenal and please never let the bastards get you down. Plus, with HeroForge I was able to tweak my take on Gigi! https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D52413446/ I'm not 100% satisfied with the results, but word is the HeroForge team is working on new tech that lets you create rounder characters, and once it's released Gigi is top of the list for another makeover.

Aww, thank you so much! My minis of Gigi and Jade Seven sit with pride of place on my bookshelf

OMG, you got them printed? That's... wow. I am so honored. I... I'm blushing. I am blushing right now. What the *hell*... thank you!

I meant to post pics of then as soon as I got them, but life got in the way. Also, Jade Seven snapped off her base and I had to superglue her back together. But yes! I have physical copies, and I love them! Thank you again so much for designing these!

In a move surprising absolutely no one, JKR has now added asexual people to her list of people to mock and bully online. While obviously this is nowhere near the amount of vitriol she aims towards trans women in particular, it's continued evidence of her bigotry and yet another reason not to support or engage with the new HP show if her continued transmisogyny still wasn't enough.

Anyway fuck HP and fuck JKR.

The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.

They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.

Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.

anyways girls with big thighs and squishy tummies are perfect

On the left is the Yeti! a 9 ft (2.7 m) humanoid who is actually not the bloodthirsty solitary creature legend makes it out to be. They just live in the most remote areas of the world, guarding against the living nightmares, aliens, fiends, etc that slip between the cracks where worlds blur. The ones WE see are those that eventually succumb and flee or were just unusually violent people who got exiled. That's why thier only supernatural abilities are just resistance to nightmares and being good at moving through/hiding in snow. But normal Yetis live somewhat peacefully in clans. Artsy types, like carving, actually pretty chill.

On the right, the Raja Rakshasa is an embodiment of disdain for religion. They view only themself as worthy of worship, even over their own immortals. They form close-knit families to subtly rule or destroy cities. They can turn off others' divine abilities, shapeshift into other creatures around human size like them, and can assault your mind with images of evil decadence from its past lives. They also can read minds at will, and have learned magic to fly, turn invisible, create illusions, charm people, and summon a spectral hand!

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

Somehow I ended up as a girl who was diagnosed later in life despite the fact that I was a little boy who liked trains.

The thing about "friends" who were actually bullying them is a little too real.

Gentle reminder that they should be praising the fuck out of you for showing off.

Whether it's a selfie, lewd, nude, or anything, they should make you feel good and appreciated.

This is why it's essential for new players to meet a funny little goblin/gnome/talking skeleton/other little weirdo on their first outing.

No, I'm serious

You as the DM have control over many things at your table, and that gives you a lot of authority, especially when it comes to establishing tone. By showing new players that in addition to being a grand storyteller/forgiving mentor/neutral arbiter of the rules you can also be a silly little guy™️ you also give them permission to be silly.

Lack of judgement is the first step to people feeling brave enough to try new things, and by making yourself out to be a clown, you signal that the d&d table is a (mostly) judgement free zone where they can put on a funny accent or do wacky things in character...or even (if you could believe it) be silly enough to invest in this story of wonder and whimsy that you're all telling together.

i have a new theory called alive internet theory where i propose that the internet is full of real people and you can befriend some of them even and maybe actually kiss them and more

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

for everyone losing their shit in the notes: the movie is called Junior (tvtropes link) and arnie is the pregnant one.
