The last one is a comic wip! I can only hope I lock in and finish it XD

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

Love that this is well beyond 7000 people now and still going

@leavescrown Exactly! It’s a beautiful gift. Martin and Bosco out there travelling around the Tumblr community, continually making new friends.

@sseanettles

Reading your tag made me laugh out loud. It’s like two old friends unexpectedly stopped by your porch for a quick visit. XD

hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one

Folks in the UK, could we have some trusted links to charities?

There's Mermaids which is always a great option, and then Scotland-specific there's LGBT Youth Scotland, to give you just a couple. There will absolutely be more that other people can suggest though!

switchboard.lgbt and akt.org.uk are two i regularly support, and there’s always stonewall !

trans aid cymru is a mutual aid group rather than a charity but ill always shout them out for wales specific trans community support! they have a donation page here

Scottish Trans Alliance do good work, and more locally to me and also locally to the evil billionaire funding so much of this (we are deeply uneasy neighbours I live in constant fear of seeing her) and also Parliament, Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh do a lot of community work. Resistance is everywhere, both national and local, official and grassroots, and if you have no money spare to donate then you can donate time, if you have neither you can - you Must - reach out to even just one trans person near you, because community starts with smiling at your neighbours, knowing names, noticing if they're struggling. I survived thanks to one queer person I never knew the name of and spoke barely one sentence to taking 10 minutes out of their day to drop off an LGBTQ youth centre flier for me back in 2016. It starts small. It moves mountains. We are not budging an inch. I love you.

hate J K Rowling button. love asexuals button.

love trans people button!! we in this shit together!

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Context.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x

Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x

We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x

It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.

And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.

This is where that Harry Potter money goes.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

hey you're doing a great job, just remember: a semicolon can be used to combine two sentences where you might otherwise use a period; this allows you to create longer and longer run-on sentences

Quick update, babes: semicolons are also for if you want to make a list of things but items in the list contain commas. You can divide your list items with semicolons.

As proof of gratitude please send a lawn-white shirt; a braided, beaded, bronze and leather belt; a pair of boots that strides the sea; and a new iphone.

✨STARMAN✨

So lucky to have such a talented friend!! @ebbpettier drew this for my birthday two whole years ago, and I've been selfishly keeping it to myself this whole time—so for my birthday this year, I'm sharing it with you all. Look at these romantic boys!!

hey lol so here’s a short comic that’s set right after Aurora’s death; someone had to clean Ronan up i guess 🤕

(im so insane i love them more than anything).

lemme know your thoughts <3

Love ship dynamics where one of them has the most gorgeous handwriting anyone's ever seen and the other has the most godawful chicken scratch known to man

Bonus points if it's not the person you would expect it to be based on how they carry themselves or their role lol

effort - jegulus - @into-the-jeggyverse - word count: 394

“Shit.”

Regulus sat on his bed at the Potters’, staring down at his OWL grades, his brain echoing with the same angry voices and furious looks. His mother, screaming at him about his stupidity and lack of effort. His father, glaring at him as only he could–his fury outlined in the hard, cold edges of his face. Both of them implying what Regulus always feared– that he was nothing. That he would always be nothing.

He was so wrapped up in his own self-hatred that he didn’t even hear James come in.

“You got your scores?”

He cursed himself for not paying attention. If he had, he’d have been ready to turn away as James snatched for the paper, but he was caught unawares, and the older boy was able to grab the letter before he could properly react.

“I…it’s not…” he mumbled, head down.

“Reg, this is…” James said softly.

Ah, there it was. The disappointment. He wanted to throw up.

“...this is amazing! Fucking seven Outstandings?” the older boy gasped, making Regulus look up.

“And…two Exceeds Expectations,” he pointed out, stomach churning again.

“Exactly!” James exclaimed, eyes wide and uncomprehending.

Regulus waited a moment before shaking his head frustratedly. “They should’ve been all O’s, James! I…I could’ve done so much better! Merlin, I don’t know why I let myself slip like th–”

“Regulus,” James interrupted, kneeling so he could look into his eyes, his hands gently grasping Regulus’s face. “You…you have no idea how proud I am, do you?”

He blinked. He wasn’t sure of the last time he’d heard someone say that.

“Oh, baby,” James mumbled, pressing a soft kiss to his head. “I am…you are so amazing. You have no idea. I mean, you must know. I lo-”

But before he could get the words out, even as Regulus waited on tenterhooks to hear them, a woman’s voice interrupted. “Have Hogwarts letters arrived?”

James looked annoyed for a moment, but he perked up quickly. “Yes! Mum, you have to see Reggie’s grades, come look!”

It was the first time Regulus had ever had anything hung up in the kitchen by a proud parent. He tried to act normal about it as Effie beamed and posted it right next to a picture of herself and Monty, held to the Muggle refrigerator by a magnet, but inside, he was warm all over.

(...guess which scene it is 🫢)

i’ve only had matthew lynch for about 12 pages but every line about him just makes him more endearing
