Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

(also "villain" literally means "landowner" — someone who has a villa.)

the deal with thee/thou vs. you was that thee/thou was more personal/intimate, while 'you' was more formal

then english got over having grammatical relationship distance in pronouns & used 'you' everywhere

so when someone in an old-timey story says "Have at thee, villain!", they're actually flirting

honestly i see people going "yea but death of the author" regarding rowling and her terfiness

NO

she's still alive

she's still collecting money over you buying harry potter stuff OR promoting harry potter

idk you do you but keep that in mind?

"there is no ethical consumption under capitalism", that may be, but we *can* stop promoting a terf's work, that she's still making money from, you know

i was in that fandom, i have read millions of harry potter fanfiction, i put some out there

but honestly i had to stop

even if you don't buy stuff that gives money to her, if you promote it, i think it's free advertising for her and

just

no

For any trans people who need to hear this:

Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.

Whether you choose to transition (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.

When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.

Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.

Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. ✨​
