I don't think I've ever talked about her, but I love Elise. She's just so wonderful. All of her supports (barring s-supports that I refuse to acknowledge) are top tier. She's my favorite Nohrian royal and tied with Sakura for my second favorite fates royal (Azura is my favorite fates royal over all). I just love Fire Emblem younger sisters they're all just so hurngggggg, happy girls with sticks!!!!!

Troubles in the Land of Punctuation

In the Land of Punctuation (Im Reich der Interpunktionen) was first published by the popular German satirical poet Christian Morgenstern in 1905. Morgenstern called the poem a linguistic caprice; a rhyming piece of black humor populated by punctuation marks as characters with fascistic agendas, where certain groups with similar features (first semi colons, then the colons) are accused of being parasites, hunted down and exterminated, and ultimately lamented. The story seems prescient for Germany 30 years later, and a relevant cautionary tale for our own times.

Our edition of the poem was published in Chennai, India by Tara Books in 2009, with an English translation by Indian-Canadian writer Shirish Rao and brilliant typographic illustrations by Chennai-born graphic and type designer Dr. Rathna Ramanathan, Head of Central Saint Martins and Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of the Arts, London. Our copy is a gift from our friend Nirmal Raja.

First the "palestinians" steal our land, then our identity, then our connection to our own homeland, our nativity, then our symbols, then they steal our hustory and erase us completely unless its for their benefit, then pro palestinians started to make jewish holidays ABOUT palestinians and now they take our suffering too??

Making holocaust remembrance day about the palestinians??! That's so fucking disrespectful and not even CLOSE. In the holocaust people were stripped off of their humanity and dignity and turned into numbers, they had no name, their hair and clothes were taken from them, their art and book were burned, they were enslaved, they were considered less than an ANIMAL, they had to hide in basements, between corpses, in the sewers, under the ground bc they were actively hunted. Not even ONE oalestinians had to run from house to house and beg for shelter bc israel is specifically hunting every palestinian by name.

Even with the horrors they face its not comperable to the holocaust.

Jews, romani, homosexuals, disabled and people who heloed them or opoosed nazism were hunted down and PUBLICLY EXECUTED. Palestinians get nirmal jobs that pay well, they get healthcare even tho they are not citizens, they get food and water and electricity even tho they should be their own independent state THEY START EVERY WAR INSTEAD OF BUILDING A STATE and when they get bonkes hard on the head for their terrorism and barbaric actions suddenly its a "gaza holocaust"?? No, no it isn't. Israeli are NOT worse than nazis, zionism is NOT nazism not even CLOSE

PALESTINIANS SIDED WITH THE NAZIS

Before the holocaust there were 18 million jews, in 2024 we are 15 million jews-still less than what we were 100 years ago. There were almost 2 million palestinians before 1948 and now there are 15 million palestinians WORLDWIDE.

The holocaust was a genocide, THIS is not a genocide nor a holocaust.

The lack of knowledge and education on all the palestine fanatics has grown into a nazi antisemic vile stupid being hiden behind a trend, acting like the palestinians are the only humans that suffer in the whole world as if everywhere else is a heavenly utopia that's golden and perfect

Yall are fucking sick and sickening get help

I am in love with your answers for the Non US ask game. Like Tumblr, fandom is also majorly US centric. Have Desi Harry fics and meta stereotypes got something right about your your country? Are there fics you like that get something about your country right?

oh anon, this is a can of worms! So I like desi Harry as an idea (and lot of the art!) - in fact, there are some parts of Prisoner of Azkaban dialogue that almost reads as if Harry is POC. I am referring to this bit:

A few years later, she had turned up at Christmas with a computerized robot for Dudley and a box of dog biscuits for Harry.

You mustn’t blame yourself for the way the boy’s turned out, Vernon,” she said over lunch on the third day. “If there’s something rotten on the inside, there’s nothing anyone can do about it.”

Harry tried to concentrate on his food, but his hands shook and his face was starting to burn with anger. Remember the form, he told himself. Think about Hogsmeade. Don’t say anything. Don’t rise — Aunt Marge reached for her glass of wine.

“It’s one of the basic rules of breeding,” she said. “You see it all the time with dogs. If there’s something wrong with the bitch, there’ll be something wrong with the pup — ”

of course, the untidiness of Harry's hair etc also feels charged in that context.

It was common to see colonial establishments say, "no dogs, no Indians" in colonial India. So I remember feeling this while reading POA and opening chapters of OOTP - otherwise Harry is of course written as default white protagonist.

However, I haven't found a desi Harry fic I liked? I am open to be recced those of course - it is just a matter of finding the right fic for myself. I just find lot of fics in the Never Have I Ever (I don't like that show) vein of Indian identity in a foreign land and I simply want to ask question and push back on that way of interpreting Harry's family:

For example, Christianity is a minority religion in India: but why can't Harry be from a Christian family? As opposed to having to explain away the anglicised names (which you can do great things with as a story). You can still have Harry celebrating Diwali (if that is what you want from a story and that is seemingly what everyone wants from a desi Harry story) even if he is Christian! Because we all celebrate the big festivals!

I have some issues with caste blindness, which is a vibe I do get with hcs that I am not going to expound here. @sleepstxtic has helped me parse through some of the feelings about that. (in that vein, I like her work and would rec this specifically: Will you send me to Hogwarts?)

This is just me, of course. I have very strong feelings that there is only one kind of Indian identity (there isn't, but prevalence of only kind of Indian identity in desi Harry hcs/theories/metas makes it look there is only one way to be Indian). My realy problem is that I find lot of stories don't engage with how I personally engage with my own Indian identity as a lower caste, South Indian woman. Also, I have traveled within India a LOT. I just want more ways to see interpret Harry as desi because there is a lot of ways to be desi?

I have, however, found stories on Parvati and Padma that I have liked - @broomsticks has recced many of them on @harrypocter server. (nirmal was amazing and it really captured mumbai very well)

Thank you for the tag @the-francakes ❣️ Love your fics~ Check out francakes' post here!

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway

I'm going to include the ten most recent fanfics in English that are non-collab~

To Dare To Hope (Draco/Harry) (G, 856)

“So...will I see you Sunday?” Potter asks in the same earnest way he has done since inquiring about another date when we first went out, his shyness so at odds with his usual confidence.

Warmth (any ship,, and I imagined it femslash while writing so tagged as such) (G, 174)

It starts with a shy hello over our complimentary teas.

[FIC & ART] Unfolded Heart (Draco/Harry) (G, 5848)

“For fuck’s sake,” Draco snarled when a sharp knock sounded on the door of his Hogwarts living quarters.

Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye (Draco/Harry) (G, 1763)

“Padma! Delivery!”

I'm Fondue You (Draco/Harry) (T, 675)

“You’re insane if you think I’m going to be ok with a sodding chocolate fountain at Blaise and Ron’s wedding.”

We Could Be Silent (Draco/Harry) (G, 282)

The sound of your brogues clacking against the wooden bridge, wayward autumn leaves crunching underfoot, has me sitting up straight.

Nirmal (Cho/Padma) (G, 2818)

hawa paani ka badlaav hona chahiye—A change in atmosphere is often needed to improve one's health or state of mind.

Broken (Draco/Harry) (G, 335)

The news crackles on about the latest tragedy—a reminder that the war is over, but the world is not okay.

[FIC & ART] Heart on Your Sleeve (Draco/Harry) (T, 5053)

“Draco, darling, if you’re so bored alone at home, why don’t you go out for a bit?” Pansy suggests, exasperated by Draco’s whinging as he waits for the coffee to finish brewing.

Just Us (Seamus/Dean) (G, 226)

“It's just me,” Seamus reassures with an encouraging grin at his best friend whenever Dean hesitates to share something—a new art project, a worry, a secret—eyes guarded before melting into trust.
