Every time I see this video I fear for the creator’s mental health

Wonder how the guy who made it’s been doing.

If you’re feeling angry about today’s news of JK Rowling’s ongoing fuckery, I have an idea other than forcibly removing Harry Potter from her possession and declaring it property of fandom (which is not actually a bad idea, just not super executable).  

There are 48 fanfics in the Harry Potter tag with the additional tag Trans Character without any comments on them.  

Or check out every Harry Potter fic tagged Trans Character and find some new favorites to comment on. 

I’m sure those authors could really use the boost right now. 

Rowling is back on her bullshit so here’s a reblog of the Trans Character links. Last time we dropped the count of fics with no comments to zero, but there are 22 new fics since then for your delectation and delight! Remember to show your authors love! 

Rowling has set up official camp on her bullshit with a clear eye to building a cabin there, so here’s a reblog of the Trans Character links, including 29 new fanfics with no comments that could use some love! And courtesy of @thebibliosphere, here is a list of books by trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming authors!

is there a reason the linked searches filter out all archive warnings….? as it stands, the first link will only show 8% of fics tagged trans character with 0 comments

Snap, it shouldn’t be doing that, or at least I didn’t intend it to do that. I might have added the filters on autopilot – often I filter archive warnings when searching. 

In any case, apologies and thanks for pointing that out! Here is the full list, which has sixty Harry Potter fanfics tagged Trans Character with no comments.

Between the former period where every YA novel was trying to be the next Newbery Medal winner and the present period where every YA novel is trying to be the next Harry Potter, there was a long stretch of YA novels where every book’s plot was “a bunch of weird shit happens” and the moral message was “wow, that was kind of fucked up”, and I think we need to bring that back.

All I can think about is The Boxes, which was… we’ll just say the ending was not what I was expecting and I’m still trying to parse the implications.

embalming as standard practice… ‘protective caskets’… waterproof burial vaults… folks there is no fucking point

that uniquely american cultural drive to preserve the corpse after death…. utterly horrid I tell you

not to go all Anti Capitalist here but like. making people feel like they’ve ‘failed’ their dead loved ones if they don’t put their chemically preserved corpses in a multi-thousand dollar hermetically sealed vault is absolutely fucking ghoulish the whole industry is built around taking advantage of grieving families. like it’s such a morbid topic but for real normalize decay… normalize the idea that a corpse, while an incredibly important thing, is temporary and isn’t meant to exist forever… normalize the transience of the body… also fuck every person who’s ever tried to wring money out of a grieving person by convincing them to by a fucking. waterproof burial vault. man
