Ink and Embers

Crushed

Yea, as a trans person in the UK, JK Rowling is a big concern. Legislation was recently passed saying everyone has to use the public bathrooms of their AGAB; the main pressure group pushing for this received over a quarter of their funding from JK Rowling. On a more personal level, she's essentially the reason my parents are ... as they are in regards to trans issues. They, like a whole load of other people, first encountered the whole thing through reading what JK Rowling had to say about it, as a profiling public figure, so it gets fixed in people's minds as the first thing they learn and it gives a whole massive platform for transphobes to air their views. It's been ... interesting. She keeps getting more and more popular and then the money goes to fund support for anti-trans legislation and it's all kind of complicated. One of my autistic trans friends has a long-term special interest in Harry Potter and has a really complicated relationship with it as a result. Supporting LGBTQ+ people is great! Thank you for being better than, like, 50% of the population, genuinely. No one's going to stop you doing what you want to do, and no one's trying to "convert" you or try and crush all the joy out of living. It can be good to learn about the different effects of hobbies, though, but if we stopped everything that contributed to climate change (for example), we'd have to stop respiring. It can just be good to learn, though.

Toenails

Kevin frowns in concentration. The moon isn't vanishing. "I think it was created by another Author." He blinks at it, and it begins to shrink. First to half its size, then to a tenth, then until it's small enough to only be visible as a glowing blur. It continues to shrink to about the size of a fist, then slightly smaller. With a start, Kevin pushes Eia about a metre away from where she was standing. The now-tiny meteorite lands where she'd been standing, blazing white-gold. "Apologies," Kevin said, then frowned at the Blade. "It can sense the future? That's... interesting. So we need to persuade two enemies to agree on something."

I get eaten by the flower and possess its consciousness to get it to swallow the Sandwich, which I then pick up.

"Farewell, and remember all I have said!" - Epicurus. Most of his works are now lost.

Ink wakes up from where she'd fallen asleep standing up. "This had undergone a dramatic transformation." They drink the pint of questions from earlier. "I haven't played Minecraft since they added the cherry blossoms biome. And I played Bedrock. Can't install Java on something that isn't a computer, or something like that."

Mine is "somewhere in the UK", I haven't checked how accurate it is *American accent starts American accenting* An' I've godda shift from ahight to twell. (I have no idea how accurate this is, but yours was very) Goodnight! Take care!

Tiger

Kevin hesitated, then summoned a small steel sword. "May I ask exactly who the Witherlord is, or was? I heard a little about them, but was under the impression they'd been defeated." He frowned. "Oh, no. Socialization. Can I provide an opportunely timed distraction, or is it the kind of scenario where you have to work on acting first?" Kevin yelped and jumped backwards - not that it made a huge difference - and attempted to will the moon out of existence. "Potential malevolent forces interfering!"
