Dick and Kory talk about how he’s left the titans because he doesn’t think he should be leading family into battle. Kory tells him he’s so much like Bruce sometimes that she hates it. She then gives dick an open invite back to the titans and says she’ll follow him if he goes (Outsiders secret files and origins #2)

“I’m a monster,” she whispered as she gazed of the plains stained red.

“No you’re not. Maybe you used to be, and maybe I was a fool for not realising it. Maybe you still are, and I can’t see the bad in you. Maybe… maybe I’m the monster for helping you. For loving you.” he replied, the pain on his face like a dagger to her heart.

“No. You are not, and never will be, a monster. You are the best and kindest person I know. Even when I hurt you, pushed you away, you came back.” He started to interrupt, but she put a finger on his lips.

“Don’t say it was because you loved me, and were blind to my real nature. You came back because you saw my pain before I saw it myself, and you tried to help. You are the furthest thing from a monster I know.” Tears were streaming down his face, and she began to sob softly.

“I am the monster for pushing you away from me, and hurting you. I am the monster for dragging you into this, for risking your life like theirs, she said, gesturing the the piles of bodies behind them.

“But… I think I can come to peace with what I did. With you help.” She was crying as well, and then they were joined, never to leave each others arms again. They were broken, but they could heal each other.

ok im going to #seriouspost for a second here. I don't think Harry Potter is a manifesto. I think it was a flawed passion project that millennials latched onto because of the fantasy of sticking it to their mean teachers and arbitrarily categorizing themselves (hogwarts houses; it's the thinking millennial's astrology). I think the fact that the series got popular when and how it did was very much a product of its time.

I don't think Harry Potter is the biggest symbol of JKR's bigotry. I think the most flagrant sign of that was how she responded to critics. I watched her become radicalized in real time. I watched how she doubled down on her racism when she was called out for the ways she promoted her tragically mid fantastic beasts movies. I watched her chase marginalized teenagers with a double digit follower count off of twitter for daring to criticize her thought process, and no one with any kind of power standing against her because she was the one who was paying them. This isn't to say Harry Potter is without flaws. This is to say she really didn't give a shit about that. Getting rich and powerful is a hell of a drug, and she had enough sycophants that she had no reason to care about what her critics were saying.

She was convinced that she was a martyr; a voice for the unheard; a leader for the ages, so of course her detractors were the bad guys. And I think we should take this to heart. We should see this as an example of how easy it is to get radicalized; if you think of yourself as a paragon of virtue, you are going to think that whatever you see as good and right is an objective fact. Most people don't know this, but the majority of terfs start out as trans allies. You are not immune to propaganda! You are not immune to falling into dangerous ideologies!!!

This is why the most important thing you can do as an activist is to listen. Do NOT think you're above being wrong; do NOT develop a god complex; do NOT form an identity out of being right all the time. Involve yourselves in the groups you claim to speak for. Listen to trans women; share resources that help trans women; familiarize yourself with the diversity of experiences that trans people have and the struggles they face.

No, none of you are as bad as JKR because you don't have her money or her power. You will likely never have the capacity for harm she does. But check yourselves. Do not affirm yourselves into thinking you always have the moral high ground. Watch yourselves; humble yourselves; check yourselves for signs of cult behavior and internalized prejudice. You are always learning. You will always be learning. Do not allow yourselves to get a power trip from brushing off marginalized voices.

CREATING BLUEY - Tales from the Art Director

Chapter 4 - It's (gotta be) Done! Beyond Bluey

The final chapter. Beyond Bluey and the power of Animation

FREE on Substack

Thankyou all so much for following along. The outpouring of support and care for the artists behind the art has been really heartening throughout this whole process. Not to be cringe but I honestly think this medium captures the human spirit better than any other form of expression, so I know whatever the future brings for us we’ll be able to weather it for that reason alone. 🕊️
