working on some plotting for Ghost today and i should be able to finally get the first chapter up by the end of this week! I’ve had to basically re-read SOC and annotate it in order to get the plotting done, but it’s getting there!

hey! i just wanted to jump on here and say that although i am a fan of harry potter, i absolutely hate jkr and had already stopped supporting her a while back!
          
          i believe it is important to hold people that you once held in high esteem accountable for their actions, and jkr should not be omitted from that. she has proven on multiple accounts that she is racist, transphobic, and homophobic and i cannot and will not support someone who continuously harms marginalized communities.
          
          that being said, over the years, harry potter has become so much more than her, and the community it has created is very difficult to let go of. even though i have a strong dislike for her, these books have been with me forever and have (and continue to) help me through extremely difficult times in my life. Whether it’s reading the books, reading fics, or writing my own fics, it’s something that i consume literally every day, and something that brings me joy every day.
          
          separating art from the artist is important, and i believe that as long as we recognize the issues not only with the artist themselves, but the flaws within the art as well, we can still appreciate the art for what it is.
          
          i think it’s important as a fanfic author to not that i will always try my best to make my work as diverse as possible.
          
          (also relish in the fact that sirius black, a character of her own creation, would absolutely despise this woman, thank you very much)

I didn’t realize for a hot minute that all of the old chapters from unravel me were still up and published, so i deleted them cause they were hella confusing!
          
          Also, happy pride! I realized that i didn’t say anything about it because i’ve been kind of inactive on here, but as we celebrate pride, remember that the first ever pride was a riot started by queer people of colour, and if you aren’t supporting black lives matter right now, then you should not be celebrating pride!
          
          That being said, no updates this week! There are much more important things to be focusing on and giving your time to. Here are some resources in case you are unsure on how to support the protests right now:
          
          This is a great website with multiple links to petitions, donation pages, and articles to educate yourself on white privilege: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/

Just letting you guys know that I took down Unravel Me cause I was writing the next chapter and realized I wasn't really connecting with it! It's going to be coming back completely reworked (except for the cover cause I just made it and I really like it lmao) so the new summary should be back up within a few days!
