I had the craziest fucking dream last night and it's all Schlatt's fault.

So I watched Schlatt from 7 til around 12, and then I went to bed.

This is the most vivid dream I've ever had in my life.

So the earliest thing I remember is being in a massive theatre, like Circ De Solei, Roman Collesium, MASSIVE circular theatre and all the actors and shit run around in the back with elevators or shooting up the elevator ropes by holding on when the elevator is going up and getting yoinked.

I'm in one of the, I think it was a storage room or something. Whatever it was it was really high up and I could see the whole thing if I poked my head through the curtains.

And then schlatt comes out in his pope hat and cape and announces that this is his Presidential Campaign Show, where every four years he finds 4 people and they write a script for them running for president.

And this is a week-long event, like the script is LONG.

He ends up picking me for something and I get to run around back-stage with Schlatt and probably a bunch of other YouTubers/Twitch Streamers I can't remember the faces of, and the last thing I remember is Schlatt told me I could ask for anything, even 100k and he'd give it to me. It was really on the spot so I asked if I could think about it for a minute. He said yes, and I genuinely thought about it and I asked for a Signed Jumbo Schlatt Rammie plush.

What the fuck

Writing has been so fucking hard this week bc I've been sick and trying to clean the house in time for thanksgiving but I'm like, 3/4 of the way done writing ACT 2: Chapter 14 which will make me done writing all the chapters for the rest of this year 🎉🎉🎉

I cannot fucking believe the 6th month anniversary of starting "How to Suddenly Aquire Children" is in 10 days holy shit. I've been writing for SIX MONTHS. I wrote "Where Honeybees Hum Melodies" in fucking 4 months and it only had 40k words. Its been almost 6 months and I've written OVER THREE TIMES THAT NUMBER. IN SIX FUCKING MONTHS. As I'm writing this I'm just 1000 words shy of fucking 139k! THATS SO MANY FUCKING WORDS THATS ALMOST 100K MORE WORDS THAN MY FIRST NOVEL-LENGTH FIC. THAT I WROTE LAST YEAR. What the fuck am I doing with my life. How did I get here. I thought I would be done by now, but no. This is fucking hiveshit maggots. What the fuck am I doing.

Anyways you should read my homestuck fic "How to Suddenly Aquire Children" it updates tomorrow morning.

Danny lands at the feet of his cloning template, and in a desperate bid to not get murdered by said template, he gave a wry smile before saying, "HI, dad." He then used the moment of stunned silence to escape.

A week later, he regrets his decision as he walks down the stairs to find his template in his living room, interrogating his tied up parents.

hey do you think you could expand a bit on separating the art from the artist? clearly you’ve done it with jk rowling but what are your thoughts on it as a general idea?

okay, but you’re not going to like the answer.

here’s the truth: you can’t separate the art from the artist. not entirely. HP Lovecraft was an incredibly talented, but much more incredibly racist man. It would nice to say you don’t agree with his views but you can enjoy his works without that leaking in but…. well, I’m afraid that would be misunderstanding his books entirely.

Consider, for a second, that Lovecraft’s works were horror stories about extradimensional alien monsters having mutant children with humans, they were about invasions from distant monsters, they were about the purity of quaint European towns being tainted. Consider how this may have all been inflicted by the fact that he just simply despised anybody who wasn’t white. Consider how is opinions on “mixing the races” might fight into this; consider why being unable to maintain the “purity” of white Europe was the scariest thing of all to him.

This extends to Rowling too.

I would love to say we can just acknowledge that she is an awful, racist, antisemitic, transphobic person and then say “but at least her books are good,” because, well, they are, aren’t they? I would say so, for sure. But to suggest that one can separate her from them is…. ridiculous.

Consider why an antisemitic woman wrote about a species of goblins who live among us, but who for the most part keep to themselvesand are maybe a little bit oppressed by the institution, but also hold all the cards, all the money, run the banks.

Consider why a racist woman would write about a species of slaves who loved being enslaved, who enjoyed working for no pay, and cleaning up after humans, with the only small caveat of that they didn’t want to be beaten. Imagine that only the most radical of their species wanted to be free, and he still spent the rest of his life working for no pay and helping out a little white boy and his friends wherever he could. Consider why the only person in the story who thought they should be free, that they should have rights, was treated as an overzealous joke, who was acting against the wishes of those slaves who really LOVE being enslaved. Consider that Rowling went on to say that she kind of considers that girl to be black, now.

Consider why JK Rowling, an open and proud transphobe, wrote Rita Skeeter as having a large square jaw, thick “manly” hands, and dressing incredibly gaudily with the most obvious fake nails and fake teeth and fake hair and fake everything. Consider why a woman who tweets about how trans women are “foxes pretending to be hens to get in the hen house” might write this Rita Skeeter to then illegally transform her body in order to spy on children.

Harry Potter is full of Rowling’s bigotry, start to finish. Not even tangentially, like, “oh the goblins are bad, Rita Skeeter is bad, the house elves are bad, but most of it’s good!” because the deeper you dig and the longer you think the more you realise the entire story is based on her prejudices.

Harry Potter pretends to be an aracial story about found family, but if that were true, why are Harry’s distant ancestors important to who he is today even in the seventh book? Why does Harry have to live with his cousin and aunt and uncle? Because magic inherently prefers blood ties. Whilst Rowling was writing a story that seemed to say, “your heritage is not that important and doesn’t make you better than others” she was still writing a story about a boy who got all of his money through his bloodline, who was protected by living with his bloodline, no matter how evil, who was uniquely able to stop Voldemort because his bloodline passed down the invisibility cloak for generations and generations. Any step Harry takes he is compared to his perfect parents who were exactly like him — he looks just like his father, but he has his mother’s eyes, you know! — consider WHY a woman who is racist might’ve written a story like this. A story that on its surface, condemns a blood caste, but still in every step it takes, validates the idea that blood is thicker than water, and your geneological origin is what makes you special.

You can enjoy Harry Pottwr, of course you can. There are fantastic parts. I love a small group of teenagers deciding to become anarchies rebels and train to fight against fascism in secret. I love the murder mystery plots, I love how the series tells kids that it’s a good thing to be brave, and a good thing to fight injustice, and a good thing to challenge the government. But I cannot separate it from its author because it is such a product of its author. All of the structures of the world, the way things work in the universe, and drenched in Rowling’s beliefs, her bigotries. Of course they are: she made them.

Again. This doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy it. But I think we are past the day where we can pretend that disavowing a bigoted author is enough, and that that somehow separates the text from its bigotry. I think we are past the day where we can pretend that Harry Potter isn’t a deeply, inherently bigoted piece of media. Even the bits we love. I think we are beyond the day where we can truthfully pretend to separate it from her, because she is present through all of it. We MUST recognise its flaws. We MUST admit that she is in every part of it.
