Harry Potter blog with a queer slant, exploring realms both serious and Sirius, overt and subtextual, canonical and fanatical. The best discussions, of course, involve your questions and collaboration. Note well, I sail with Wolfstar.

So this happened at school today…
LOL WHAT THE FUCK
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval is expected to sign into law a bill that would add gender identity and expression as protected classes under the state’s hate crimes law.
The state assembly passed the legislation 30-11 on Tuesday, and the senate passed it nearly unanimously last month.
We’ve been talking about marriage equality a lot lately, but the states are stepping up in all kinds of ways for gender and sexual equality. Ten points to Gryffindor, Nevada!
You guys. The bill that is inclusive and protective of people that are often viewed as outcasts should obviously mean ten points to Hufflepuff.
Alright one vote for Hufflepuff. We’re officially taking suggestions for which house Nevada and all the other US states (and any countries) would be in.
A friend of ours came across a small family of stray cats - a momma cat and two kittens - in her backyard. Just a couple days later, a raccoon found them too. And attacked.
Only one kitten survived the attack, but just barely. His right eye was almost gouged out and is filled with pus and infection, his nose nearly torn off to the point where he can barely breathe, and both of his right paws were seriously mangled, with a hole the size of a quarter in his back foot. We brought him to a vet to see if there was any chance of this five week old kitten being able to live, and there certainly is - but at a huge cost.
From an x-ray that revealed his back paw was so shattered he might have to have it amputated, to the flushing of his wounds and changing of his bandages twice a week for two months, to the amount of pain killers and antibiotics he’ll have to go through… simply put, we don’t have the kind of money to keep him around.
That being said, he is the sweetest, most courageous kitten we’ve encountered and we would do anything to save our Monty.
We both work minimum wage jobs, and between rent and student loans and living expenses, we’re streteched pretty thin.
So we turn to you - anything you can spare, even if it’s just a dollar or two, would mean the world to us.
hey tumblr! we need some help. even if you can’t spare a monetary donation, a reblog is just as helpful.
Omg signal boost :”’(

if you ever think mythology is boring or serious business or whatever shit
just remember that cerberus, the hell-hound and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the root indo-european word ḱerberos, which evolved into the greek word kerberos, which got changed to cerberus when it went from greek to latin
ḱerberos means “spotted”
that’s right
hades, lord of the dead, literally fucking named his pet dog spot
Interviewer: What are you up to now? Tell us what you’re up to?
Hi everyone!!! This is an art supplies giveaway for me reaching an amount of followers I said I’d do a giveaway at!
Here are the things you’ll be getting, as you can see from the photo!
- 6” by 10” Sketchbook for both wet and dry media
- A bottle of ink, you pick the color, I’ll order it from a specific site
- A fountain pen that comes with the ink from the same site
- 11 colors of Cotman Winsor & Newton watercolors
- 3 brushes
- A drawing of a subject of your choice to go on the first page! You might want to check my art out if you’re unfamiliar with me to see what types of things I usually do
And that’s that. I don’t use any of those watercolor tubes anymore, as I’ve replaced them each with higher quality tubes, so I thought: why not give them away? And I like the fountain pen I’ve been using so much that I think I’d like someone else to try it, too. I’ve also replaced the three brushes I’ve included here, so I don’t need those, either. And a drawing for good measure.
Here are the rules! Please follow these:
- No giveaway blogs. I want more people to actually see this and have a chance at getting something; a lot of artists don’t have a lot of money…
- Reblogs enter you, and a Like helps. You can’t just like - but you can do both to double your chances of just reblogging (if it falls on someone who liked it, I’ll check to see if they reblogged it)
- I’ll be checking the blog that wins to see if you’re an active blog.
- You gotta use these after they arrive! I obviously can’t enforce this, but I want to see people not being timid! Make art! That’s what these are for. I know a thing that stops a lot of people is being scared they’ll mess up and waste expensive supplies… but if this is a gift, that shouldn’t matter!
- This ends on May 24th. If I send an ask and you don’t respond within 2 days, I’ll ask the next person, and so on.
- I will ship anywhere. I’ll pay the shipping.
I think that’s everything. Have fun!!! Good luck!Wowwee!!! Winsor and Newton for free??? That’s the good stuff! I am all for free items. *u*
