a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

BLACK BEATS BLACK UPCOMING UPDATE

I'm not going to sleep until I have finished the chapter - I didn't post snippets because nothing felt good enough (yikes) and if the update doesn't come in a few, it means I'm dead.

Sirius would uncontrollably giggle everytime someone call him 'Sirius Lupin'.

THIS!!!!! SHE BARELY INVENTED CRAP

HP Fans

Breaking the myth of JKR’s “originality.”

There are so many aspects of the series that felt truly unique for myself as well as many other American readers, most of which turned out to be typical aspects of British boarding schools (like houses with mascots). And, anyone who has read a high fantasy book like Lord of the Rings is familiar with the “the chosen one” narrative trope, as well as how similarly HP follows LOTR’s structure. The wizard school in a creepy castle that non-magic people can’t see and a village nearby is fairly common to multiple stories at the time, but so is this…

The Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy (published 1974), made into a movie in 1986, re-released with a tv series in the late 2010s. Fairly popular in the UK at the time.

- Features a dark-haired witch from a non-magic family with two best friends, one short and studious and a tall, gangly silly/fun one. Protagonist is not a great student yet saves her school from disaster over and over again.

- In the first book, the antagonist is introduced as an uptight blonde girl from an elitist family.

-Broom riding is taught on the very first day and continues for first year.

-The Potions teacher is a tall, slender woman with long, dark hair who seems to hate the protagonist and is feared by the students.

-The forest around the castle is forbidden to students.

-First Book, Chapter four: “Whenever there’s any trouble, you are nearly always found to be at the bottom of it.”

My point is not that JKR plagiarized most of her “unique ideas,” though she has been accused of it by multiple published authors in the past. Authors are often inspired by other works and writers. Instead, I want to acknowledge that HP isn’t the one-of-a-kind media that our nostalgia wishes it was. It leans heavily on the works of others, common narrative tropes, and the British school system.

Not to mention, the fandom has added a great deal of depth and interest to the characters that JKR left flat and stagnant. If we hold the book series up against several similar UK-based wizarding school books, we see a disjointed, bloated, and under-edited series of books with more “borrowed” content than original. It’s time to accept that we as a fandom have given JKR more credit than she’s due.

Upon all recent events, a lot about the world situation and even more how art is continuously diminished by people who has no real respect towards human beings and what makes us interesting, I wish I could create a writer community.

Just for people to meet and bond over writing, diminishing the distance that has been created and the lack of interactions

I locked all my stories on AO3 as an effort to fight the AI scrap nightmare.

Sorry to all the guests! Whenever it's safe I will change it again

Uk peeps!! Let’s get this going! 🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇧

“okay but what about women, this is real feminism!”

blah blah blah. feminism wouldn’t exist in the way it does today if it weren’t for trans women.

intersectional feminism would not be a thing if it weren’t for trans women.

if you think for one second that cis women are safe, that this isn’t step 20 in a long list of terrible steps towards stripping all women of their bodily autonomy, reducing their rights and posing major threats to their freedoms, you are deluded and you’re in for a terrible shock.

i’m so sorry to say this - people in power politically, socially and systemically have never cared about protecting women. only about controlling them. you are not now nor will you ever be exempt from that.

trans women are not a threat to cis women. in fact, it is overwhelmingly the other way around. and isn’t that disgusting?

Temporary Post: I’ll take it down in an hour because it’s so angry and ruins the cozy vibe of the blog lol. I just have to rant…

So I just got called a TERF. Yeah, I’m not one; go ahead and get off my turf if you think I am.

I know JK Rowling needs a lobotomy, but doesn’t mean I do too. Leave me alone; I’m literally just drawing. You know who you are.

I support trans rights. I wish this was the default unless I outwardly say otherwise… What a world we live in 🙄 let us not turn against each other merely based on what our hobbies/interests are. I listen to The Smiths but I’m not a racist; I like Harry Potter but I’m not a transphobe; I enjoyed Hunger by Hamsun but I’m not a Nazi. Yeah, that makes sense if you have common sense. Not all authors/artists are good people. So let’s fortify our moral compass by grounding them when they’re outrageously ignorant, but not ignoring what makes US happy because WE are not in the wrong.

I get insults/hate all the time. But literally to call me something as if I am a vessel of hatred?? No, I cannot stand it. I support trans rights; I just wished you all assumed I did by default.

And to yall who call me a homophobe/transphobe/sexist in my DMS, you could not be more wrong. Uhhhhh You don’t know me at all, you don’t know what IVE been through, so literally STFU. I’ve been trying to ignore those comments but i got CAT called/followed today and then i opened my DMs and saw THAT??? Hell no. I’m NOT one of those disgusting, rotten people which dehumanize others and I will never be. This world is disgusting and it won’t continue with me.

Good night.

made them all

Sometimes I feel bad making fanarts.

I obviously knew the problem with jk Rowling before joining this fandom, I hate her and I don't support her at all, I only interact with fan made content.

But seeing so many posts saying that making things like fanart or fics it's giving her publicity it's making me feel bad. Cause I don't want to do that.

I treat the character as my personal ocs and I love them so much. I am a fangirl by nature, I love engaging in fandoms but I feel like nowadays it's impossible to be in one cause there is always something problematic or someone being an awful human that's directly related to the content.

What is your opinion?

[myriadparacosm]

I'm not from the UK but anyone who is happy about the new law that just passed FUCK OFF AND YOU ARE NOT A REAL QUEER

[myriadparacosm]

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