I am once again thanking I May Destroy You, Mood and Clique for showing us 'person with trauma lives a life of misery and never recovers' and 'person with trauma forgets everything and life is perfect' aren't the only two options.

Guess where I was a few nights ago. It was for a case.

[coreythegremlin]

according to the BBC, charitable giving is on the decline in the UK, with four million fewer people donating last year than in 2019. with a sharp decline in giving from 16-24 year olds especially

while poor people generally donate a higher portion of their income to charity, you can't donate what you don't have. and as we get squeezed further by the decaying capitalism of our country, ordinary working and marginalised people will only have less to give. more importantly, we can't donate our way out of poverty

poverty exists for the growing majority so that a small minority can live in opulence — the small minority who own the economy. for the working people to be rich, we have to own the economy and run it for the benefit of the people, instead of leaving it to the small clique of investors to decide how our resources get used

or we could follow the advice of Neil Heslop, chief executive of Charities Aid Foundation and "do much more to build our culture of giving". a surefire plan for ending labour exploitation and wealth inequality if ever I saw it

DRACO'S LETTERS - HP FANFIC STARRING MALFOY AND THE REST In Urban society, everything connects. Each institution's needs are fed by the skills of several others. Nowhere is this more true than within the solid barrier of "International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy" In a post-Voldemort world, as the Muggle world continues to advance, the connections that once made the secrecy of the magical world strong, now leave it vulnerable. As the Wizarding world stagnates in development, the Achilles Heel to the protection of Magic grows larger each day.

ALTAI MOUNTAINS COTTAGE - EXACT LOCATION UNKNOWN January 15th, 2000

Two years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy sit's calmly, journaling to the soothing hymns of what he once discarded as "muggle entertainment". A small radio, his connection to the society he once detested, keeps him grounded to a life removed from the traumatic horror that was The Second Wizarding War. His service to The Dark Lord not yet a distant echo, but rather an open wound he found could be healed through the antithesis of non-magical life. His living was quaint - long removed from the gaudy bourgeois study of Malfoy Manor. He found help along the way to his new home. Wizengamot regressions to pre-war sensibilities aside, Draco knew that his mark on the world had to embrace the refusal of his ancestral crime. After all, no matter how many gestures of forgiveness and redemption he received from Potter and his Clique, he knew the price was yet to be paid. Seeing as The Malfoy name became toxic in wizarding society, there was no refuge to be found, pure-blood allies distanced themselves to avoid association with known Death Eaters. Weasley, Potter, and even Minister Granger herself could have been quoted in the Daily Prophet front page as stating his redemption - they'd even offered as much. But Malfoy knew this would be the only way. So there he sat - a former footsoldier for Tom Riddle himself - isolated in the rural unyielding emptiness of the Eurasian Steppe - Specifically within the Altai Mountains. His radio was the top of the line - had to be. It was the only way he could hear of the outside world. Of course, this never included the wizarding world. His wife and child understood Draco's need for isolation. Only visiting once every few months - and Draco visiting as well twice annually at the beginning and end of the Hogwarts school-year. Those visits became less and less painful as he grew to find comfort in his isolation. CHAPTER 1:

The static crackled across the small room as Draco adjusted the antenna on his Grundig shortwave radio. The machine, with its bewildering array of buttons and dials, had once seemed as foreign to him as the Mongolian dialects he occasionally picked up on certain frequencies. Now, after two years in exile, it was as familiar as his hawthorn wand had once been.

"...bringing you the BBC World Service. The time is 21:00 GMT."

Draco made a note in the margin of his journal, calculating the local time. These small acts of muggle competence still brought him a strange pride. He would never admit it to his father, but there was a certain elegance to the way muggles solved problems without magic.

The cottage smelled of juniper and the herbal tea steeping on the small wood stove. Outside, the wind howled across the steppe, rattling the windows of what the locals believed to be just another hermit's dwelling. The protective wards hummed quietly, invisible but reassuring. Some habits could never be abandoned.

He continued transcribing observations about a native plant with magical properties when the broadcaster's tone shifted, catching his attention.

"Our top story tonight: Prime Minister Tony Blair has called an emergency cabinet meeting following what sources describe as 'unknown and bizarre findings regarding a non-state entity undermining national security.' The Prime Minister refused to elaborate during questions at Parliament today, stating only that the situation was 'sensitive and under thorough investigation.'"

Draco's quill paused mid-stroke, a drop of ink blotting the parchment. He turned up the volume.

"Opposition leaders have demanded clarity, with Shadow Home Secretary Ann Widdecombe calling the statement 'deliberately vague and concerning.' Security experts speculate the issue may relate to undisclosed surveillance technologies or domestic terror cells, though Downing Street has refused to comment."

A cold sensation spread through Draco's chest that had nothing to do with the mountain air. He knew the language of politics well enough—both from his father's endless lectures on Ministry manipulation and from the three years he'd spent studying muggle governance. "Non-state entity" could mean many things, but combined with "bizarre findings," the implications were troubling.

He rose from his desk and moved to the bookshelf where he kept his most prized possession: a magically concealed copy of the newest edition of Hogwarts: A History. Granger had sent it, oddly enough, via a Mongolian eagle owl last winter. "For historical perspective," her note had read, neither friendly nor hostile��simply factual. The gesture had surprised him more than he cared to admit.

Behind the book lay a slim folder containing international wizarding correspondence—heavily encrypted parchments that only he could read. His fingers brushed against the Protean Charm-enhanced letter from Blaise Zabini, now working in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Their communication was infrequent but valuable.

The radio continued: "In related news, the Ministry of Defence has increased security at several research facilities across Britain. When asked if these measures were connected to the Prime Minister's statement, a spokesperson cited only 'standard procedural updates.'"

Draco's mind raced through the possibilities. The International Statute of Secrecy had stood for over three centuries, but it had been crafted in an age of parchment and quills. The muggle world had changed dramatically. He'd seen enough of their "internet" during brief visits to urban centers to understand the threat posed by instantaneous global communication.

He returned to his desk and pulled out a fresh sheet of parchment. If the Statute was beginning to crack, he needed to warn someone. Not Potter or Granger—they were too entrenched in the Ministry's bureaucracy now. Perhaps Lovegood. Her peculiar mind might grasp implications others would miss, and her father's publication operated outside official channels.

As he drafted the letter, his eyes fell on the photograph beside his inkwell—Astoria and Scorpius, waving from the grounds of their summer home in Switzerland. Scorpius would start at Hogwarts in ten years. What world would he inherit?

The broadcaster moved on to economic news, but Draco barely registered it. He was remembering something his father had once said, lounging in the Manor's study after a particularly satisfying Wizengamot manipulation: "The Statute of Secrecy doesn't protect muggles from us, Draco. It protects us from them."

For the first time, Draco wondered if Lucius might have been right—though not in the way his father had intended.

He sealed the letter and walked to the window. The moonlight illuminated the vast emptiness of the steppe, a landscape as removed from wizarding Britain as possible. Yet even here, muggle radio waves found him, carrying whispers of a world increasingly difficult to hide from.

His isolation, once a punishment, now felt like prescience.

Do you think the fandom will come back, even somewhat, over time? You mentioned taking a break and coming back and while I personally don't think I will nor will other fans who have been harassed and hurt, maybe new people discovering the show in a couple of years will have a different/healthier take on fandom. Basically do you think time will fill the canyon and/or future fans will be able to make this fandom into something less toxic? Or the writing of S2 especially was egregious enough so the legacy of the show is basically fucked and never stood a chance?

hey anon! i'm sorry to hear about your experience within the fandom. it sucks that a place that is supposed to be fund and creative can turn into such a high school cafeteria, complete with all the bullying and clique behaviour.

i cannot speak for everyone's experience within this fandom, those who remain and continue to seek ways to curate a space for themselves and those who had to leave because it was no longer a positive space for them to be in.

i think it's unfortunate that such a positive show has to happen in one of the most turbulent and unsustainable eras of television. streaming culture and binge watching ruin the longevity of TV shows, and modern fan culture is too obsessed with consumption. OFMD came out during a time when a lot of things are in flux

new people joining the fandom will certainly bring new perspectives and have less baggage than the current bunch of fans, and i honestly wish the best to those who join to create new things.

the idea of the Canyon has done irreparable damage and harm to this fandom. it's become a convenient scapegoat, a label to slap someone with that you don't agree with.

didn't get into a zine? well one of the mods is a Canyonite.

someone writes Izzy as sympathetic or neutral in a Gentlebeard fic? well the writer is clearly a Canyonite.

in these instances, it becomes a conspiracy. it becomes a valid excuse to very weird about someone online. and this goes for both sides of this conflict: Gentlebeardies and the Canyon. i just think it's more weighted against the Canyon because, well, their ship won despite the fact that there was never any contest because it was always assured that Ed&Stede would come out on top. the fact that other people complain about other ships like Stizzy, Edizzy, and Steddyhands (always about these three which really tells you what this group is more focused on)

my final thoughts on this is that both sides have created their own block lists, but the Gentlebeardies side is less willing to admit that they are in their own canyon. the only way to really end this is to stop talking negatively about Izzy. stop doing ship war shit. there is so much more joy people get out of fandom if they curate it into a positive, uplifting experience rather than falling into this clique high school behaviour

as for people's reactions to s2, i think what will happen is something similar to BBC Sherlock s4. that season was written poorly and as fans came back to reflect on their experience with the show to realize it had always been written poorly. s1 of OFMD is still solid TV and there are parts of s2 that are good, and fans will do what they have always done. take the parts that are good and build off of them, take the parts that are bad and transform them into something good. or continue to engage in AUs and make something new. that is the positive transformative experience of fandom. but with the uncertain future OFMD, if it will ever get picked up for something new, means that some fans will look back on it and realize that s2 was a let down.

the legacy of OFMD has already made its mark, but the toxicity and the entire Save OFMD campaign will leave a bitter, sour taste in some fans mouths, and that will be part of the fandom's legacy until the bitter end. the abandoned fics with final chapters that layout harassment people faced and why they can no longer continue.

i don't blame the fans who've left. i only wish it could've been on their terms rather than feeling like they were forced out

Louise Brealey On Starring In BBC Three’s Upcoming Comedy Such Brave Girls

Such Brave Girls will arrive on BBC iPlayer on 22 November

By Olivia Emily | 3 days ago

This post may contain affiliate links. Learn more

Louise Brealey is perhaps best known for her witty portrayal of lovelorn morgue technician Molly Hooper in Sherlock – but we’re loving her recent comedy work even more. She’ll next be seen in the BBC‘s hotly anticipated comedy Such Brave Girls, coming later this month. Written by Kate Sadler, Louise plays Deb, the matriarch of a dysfunctional family, trying and failing to keep her kamikaze daughters from disaster. We sat down with Louise to hear all about it.

Interview: Louise Brealey

© Leo Staar

Hi Louise, how’s life going at the moment?

Hello! It’s been a busy summer – my new film has been doing the festival circuit so there have been a lot of planes, trains and automobiles.

You’re about to star in BBC’s new series Such Brave Girls – can you give us an elevator pitch for the show?

Two messed-up twenty-something (real-life) sisters [Kat Sadler and Lizzie Davidson] and their total car crash of a mother attempt to navigate their way out of disaster and into love.

You play Deb – can you describe her?

Deb is amazing. She’s a shockingly bad mum who has completely messed up her two Gen Z daughters. I think of her as one of those vending machines at railway stations and swimming pools where you can get a Twix, but all that’s on her shelves is Tough Love.

What was it like playing her?

A terrifying hoot – she has a lot of lines.

How did you get into character/prepare for the role?

I based Deb on a little girl I used to know. You could see every emotion on her face. Guile, rage, confusion, fear. When she was cross, she scowled. When she was delighted, she beamed.

I used my real accent: Northamptonshire. It has softened over the years, so I sound a lot posher now, but it’s how my family speak and I’ve never had the chance to work using it.

Any funny stories from rehearsals or filming?

The scenes requiring our amazing intimacy coordinator, Elle McAlpine, were hysterically funny and genuinely not at all awkward. Poor Paul Bazely who plays Dev may have experienced some chafing.

What is the cast dynamic? Who was your favourite person to work with?

We are like a little family when we are filming. I feel very protective of Kat and Lizzie. And Paul is a wonderful human being and a phenomenal actor.

Are you still in touch with any of your co-stars?

Yes, we message all the time.

You’re perhaps best known for your role as Molly in Sherlock. What is that like to look back on?

Bittersweet because I don’t feel we finished it, and we have lost Una Stubbs. But it was incredible to be a part of what was really a phenomenon. It couldn’t happen now with streaming.

Any special memories from the show?

Too many. Having a candle in an egg custard tart (my favourite) on my birthday in Benedict’s trailer… Laughing and laughing with darling Una and Rupert Graves, who is a dreamboat.

You’ve also starred in the likes of Lockwood & Co, Brian and Charles and Back recently. But what has been your favourite project to date?

I loved working on Clique for the BBC a few years back. I got to play a hard-ass Queen Bee university lecturer in power suits who was afraid of no one, and then to completely fall apart. In an Edinburgh accent.

I loved Lockwood & Co. How does it feel for the show to be cancelled after just one series?

I felt so bad for the young cast, the crew, the fans and everyone whose livelihoods depended on the show coming back. It got such fantastic reviews and great viewing figures. I feel like the hoop it had to jump through for the streamer was just too impossibly small.

Any roles in the pipeline that you’re excited about? (If you’re allowed to tell us!)

I’m the lead in a lesbian chicken factory musical film called Chuck Chuck Baby.

Who has been your favourite actor to work with in the past?

This is much too hard. There have been so many that I admired, and some I now call dear friends. But my buddy Jeff Rawle I’ve worked with three times now, and we are trying to make it a fourth.

Which co-star did you learn the most from?

Antonia Pemberton, who played Nanny in Peter Hall’s Uncle Vanya when I was Sonya. She told me not to keep tomatoes in the fridge.

What’s your dream role?

I’m desperate to get back on stage. I’ve been doing film and television for the past seven years, but theatre is my heart and my home.

What’s a genre you’d like to do more of?

I’d like a good horror. I can’t watch them because I’m a scaredy-cat, but I’d love to be in one.

© Leo Staar

Do you get to spend much time at home?

Not enough. I’ve been gadding about.

Do you live in the town or the country? Which do you prefer?

I’ve lived in London since I left university. I live on a hill next to an oak tree, so it feels like we are in the branches. I can never leave London because I’d miss the culture stuff, but I am a woodland creature.

What’s your interior design style?

A mish-mash of old things I’ve found in auctions. Too many books.

How do you find balance in your personal and work lives?

I don’t.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?

An astronaut.

If you could give advice to your 15-year-old self, what would it be?

Don’t sleep with that guy’s flatmate when you are 21.

How can we all live a little bit better?

Choose love.

Anything fun in the pipeline – professionally or personally?

I’m going to run away to a southern European city for January and February to write.

Quick Fire

I’m currently watching… Only Murders in the Building

What I’m reading… We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

The last thing I watched (and loved) was… Silo. I love Rebecca Ferguson.

What I’m most looking forward to seeing… The Motive and the Cue with Mark Gatiss in the West End because I was away for its National Theatre run.

Favourite film of all time… Don’t Look Now

Favourite song of all time… ‘Disco 2000’ by Pulp

Band/singer I always have on repeat… Leonard Cohen

My ultimate cultural recommendation… Join all the museums and galleries

Cultural guilty pleasure… Overcooked 2. It’s computer game where you run around and try to make kebabs.

What’s next for me is… Walking my dog in Beckenham Place Park – it’s south London’s secret mini Hampstead Heath.

Spoilers for bbc ‘s clique I wish season 2 put more of the focus on holly and Rachel, I think there relationship is the most interesting part of the show and I wish we just saw holly embrace her nature it’s clear her and Rachel are the same very similar to Eve and Villanelle and just went on different paths, like Holly would have become like Rachel I think if Rachel stayed around but she met Georgia and became a different person, I think it would have been interesting for her and Holly to run away together and like Eve and villanelle meet in the middle and in a way Holly could be Rachel’s Georgia in that way and maybe save her too??? I like how Rachel is keen to just murder anyone the way she’s just ready to go but also does listen to holly which I like. she’s diff than Villanelle in that way. Holly and Rachel walked so Eve and Villanelle could swim, yet Holly and Rachel had the better ending. Also I enjoyed how batshit the plots were like they just go off the hinges but in a fun way. even though I was mostly invested in Holly and Rachel.

[rocknvaughn]

Honest question: has something about fandom fundamentally changed in the last few years?

I used to be an active part of the BBC Merlin & Colin Morgan fandom. Back when I joined in 2011, fandom was a fun & inclusive place. There were people of all ages & all walks of life mingling together and enjoying a common interest. It felt like one big, crazy, happy (if a bit dysfunctional) family.

With the release of Heartstopper last April, I fell in love with the story and its characters. I went online, looking for fandom places and spaces, excited to share this love with others like I had done in fandom in the past.

It's been a year now, and I *still* don't feel like I "fit in" in the fandom. It's like high school cliques all over again. I constantly feel like I'm not young enough, not queer enough, not the right demographic enough to be included. What would have been healthy debates on Canon and/or Fanon go toxic and/or abusive pretty quickly. People seem to be hard set on their way of thinking being the only correct take.

Is this just the way of fandoms now, or just this one in particular? Or perhaps the old Merlin fandom was the exception to the rule?

would a normal family be able to take out a psychopath stalkers injunction on Markle? by u/ElectricalAd9212

would a normal family be able to take out a psychopath stalkers injunction on Markle? the royal family have never viewed themselves as victims, apart from Harry.the Queen said that there is nothing that royalty experience that ordinary people do not, the tragedies and ups and downs of life, and they have significant advantages and privileges, so apart from media intrusion, which has been significantly ameliorated, there is nothing they have to complain about.When she said, never complain, never explain, she wasn't just referring to stuff that appears in the media that is incorrect, she meant it in general.Your lot in life is privileged. You will never have to worry about mortgage payments or rent. You will always be able to find employment if you choose not to be a working royal. You will have significant advantages with social networks and opportunities for a fulfiling life. So it is morally wrong for you to ever complain about anything you suffer or go through.That was one of the reasons why the Queen was so beloved by every sphere of society.This was the Queen's view, and yet I wonder if there is something they experience that perhaps most ordinary people do not.I mean the psychopathic stalking and directed incitement and abuse and threat to their physical security and mental security caused by Meghan Markle and Harry's years of targeted abuse, lies and incitement.Most of us will know of family feuds that have led to different parts of families in conflict and falling out. I have something like that in my extended family, with uncles who fell out and now are dead to each other.But if a normal family had to put up with a campaign of targeted harassment abuse and lies, facilitated by people like Oprah and other media companies, for financial benefit, disturbing malevolence and incitement like Harry writing his murderous ideation of his father, like William and Catherine being subjected to the most vile and filthy slurs and lies, disseminated by bots that seem designed to wage war on behalf of malevolent people, would it be seen as anything other than psychopathic stalking?Markle's obsessive hatred of Catherine in particular, and Harry's obsessive hatred of his brother, and their never ending campaign of hate and harassment of them, aided and abetted by high powered Hollywood cliques and companies.The list is endless. You could include Scobie the eunuch and his creepy minion work for the psycho too. Even the New York hoax was operationalised into an abusive incitement of the royal family when he went on the BBC and said 'It is my understanding that since the near fatal car chase the royal family have not contacted them to ask about their welfare', clearly, in the context of the social media abuse they deliberately incited in the past, clearly an attempt to incite more abuse of them from the usual deranged subjects.And given that the greatest security fear that the protection officers of the royal family have is not from terrorists but from unhinged individuals, the incitement against William and Catherine in particular seems pointed towards unhinged people targeting them.If this was an ordinary family facing this from a branch of their family I think they would be justified in taking out an injunction against Markle and Harry as psychopathic stalkers. post link: https://ift.tt/VNG1OnU author: ElectricalAd9212 submitted: November 21, 2023 at 11:10AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

The largest Protest in Serbia. Arrest of a Türkiye Presidential Candidate. Dissident Skobov's Speech.

You are watching the news from the weekly rally outside the Russian embassy in Lisbon. Today is March 22, 2:30 PM.

The largest protest in Serbia's history took place on March 15. This is a continuation of the anti-corruption demonstrations that began after 15 people died when the canopy of the railway station opened by Vučić in 2022 collapsed. According to the BBC, citing an independent observer, the protest drew 325,000 people, or 5% of Serbia's population. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2g8v32q30o

On March 18, The Associated Press reported that Istanbul University revoked the diploma of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, citing alleged violations during his 1990 transfer from a private university. In Türkiye, a degree is required to run for president. https://apnews.com/article/turkey-istanbul-mayor-imamoglu-diploma-4d803f6e75bbfff32f6b7afe7d6e286b

On March 21, Deutsche Welle reported that Turkish authorities had banned protests against the mayor's detention. He was detained ahead of his announcement as an opposition candidate in the presidential election. https://www.dw.com/ru/v-gorodah-turcii-vvodat-zapret-na-mitingi-protiv-zaderzania-mera-stambula/a-71996606

On March 21, publicist and dissident Alexander Skobov, who was persecuted by the Soviet regime decades ago, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for social media posts. In his final statement, he called on Europe not to legitimate annexations and reminded them the Europe's current system. And he ended his speech like this: "Here I accuse, I accuse the Putin ruling clique, stinking of corpses, of preparing, unleashing and waging an aggressive war, of war crimes in Ukraine, of political terror in Russia, of corrupting my people." The full text of the speech is provided by his friends in the Telegram channel "Skobov in Prison." https://t.me/alexander_skobov/137

On March 20, poet, screenwriter and actor Vadim Zhuk died after being removed from hosting the animation festival on orders from above. The online outlet Kasparov.ru quoted his April 29, 2021 poem: There's a portrait on the wall. Is it Stalin in some pall? There's no doubt that it is him! The pleasant ringing of the hymn, And a mustache, and boots. And the enemies' hoots. Stalin understands the threats, That's why clutches in his hands A pistol that's very black, For the enemies' attack. Pits are everywhere around, Moms and dads are under ground, In the pit grandma, grandpa, Many others others with the raws. There's a portrait on the wall, Slightly squinting at you all. https://www.kasparov.ru/material.php?id=67DC6338B5759

Grigory Melkonyants, co-chairman of the Golos movement for the voters' rights, is in pretrial detention for a year and a half. He is accused of organizing the activities of an undesirable organization.

the illuminati, a deep dive

unfinished! i lost motivation 😓

It was on may 1st, 1776 that adam weishaupt, a professor of law at the University of Ingolstadt, founded the Order of the Illuminati, a secret organisation formed to oppose religious influence on society and the abuse of power by the state by fostering a safe space for critique, debate and free speech.

(the birthplace of the Illuminati - BBC)

weishaupt thought "the monarchy and the church were repressing freedom of thought", (national geographic) and that religious ideas were "no longer an adequate belief system to govern modern societies". inspired by the Freemasons, which he had thought of joining, he "decided to find another form of 'illumination', a set of ideas and practices that could be applied to radically change the way european states were run". he named it the order of the Illuminati to reflect the enlightened ideals of its educated members

freemason/freemasonry

freemasonry's origins can be traced back to the stonemasons' guilds of the 14th century. they are a worldwide fraternal organization that promotes self-improvement, charity, and fellowship

.

.

.

obscurantism

the act of deliberately hiding facts or details

secularism

separating religion from politics/physical realm

.

.

.

during the interwar period of the 20th century, fascist propaganda claimed the Illuminati were a subversive element which served Jewish elites who were falsely accused to behind global capitalism and Soviet communism

The Illuminati became a widely-used conspiracy theory made popular in the 20th century, the term centers on a secret clique of world leaders using the global stage to create an almighty, totalitarian regime that strips people of their individual liberties and consolidates power at the very top

(american jewish committee)

In november of 1783, the three globes described the Illuminati as a masonic sect that wanted to make Freemasonry a political system, and in 1784 they refused to recognize the illuminati as freemasons

the three globes is the oldest recognized Masonic Grand Lodge in Germany It was founded in Berlin in 1740

The society was suppressed by karl theodor of Bavaria in 1787, who made membership punishable by death
