Summary:
“After we’d both had a few, he offered to help ‘replace the need for IVF’.” She jabs a finger at Dana’s knowing face. “Not in a romantic way.”
Dana’s cackle bounces off the tile walls. “Of course. That very platonic way of having a baby together with your ex.”
Last night’s memory flashes–Robby’s calloused thumb brushing her knuckles when he took her empty glass, the way his voice had gone rough while talking about Jake… Collins huffs. “Anyway, it was weird, but I took care of it.”
“And how did you do that?”
“Told him I wouldn’t go near him until he’s done a year of therapy.”
Dana chuckles, but her eyes turn sharp. She lets the silence stretch just long enough to be dangerous before saying, “You might want to watch out. If anyone could get him to do something, it’s you or Jake.”
Collins lets out a bemused, short laugh. “Robby? Therapy?” She can only barely picture it; Robby sulking in some shrink’s office, purposefully and stubbornly refusing to speak. “Yeah, I’ll take that bet.”
—
A month after the day from hell, Robby drunkenly offers to help Collins obtain her dream of having a child. Neither of them realize how serious he is until he starts doing something about it.
i like to laugh and joke but always remember that i am damned
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.
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.
have you guys done that “what kind of reader are you” quiz and if so what did you get
ah here’s the link guys
What's up nerds [affectionate] in the US it is National Library Week and today is Right to Read Day which means it is a great time to check out some banned books and call your representatives xoxoxo
