eternally caught in between Vessel Gets It and WHO HURT THIS MAN
Hello, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, The Toll?
Elizabethstar has lost her last life. Charlesclaw will head to the Moonpool to receive his new name and nine lives at dawn.

Like do you think this shit doesn’t influence you?! Do you think playing hours upon hours upon hours of Blood Libel: The Game (Magic Edition) where you are a Wizard Cop hunting down a targeted minority isn’t going to fuck with your head the teensiest, tiniest bit???
The whole FUCKING POINT is that this shit is antisemitic, pro cop propaganda wrapped up in a nice shiny nostalgic package so you don’t notice, and it goes directly into JKR’s pocket, meaning that it directly funds anti-trans legislation in the UK.
The more you talk about Harry Potter, the more you give her air time, the powerful she becomes, and that has real world consequences that directly affect the people around you.
Don’t give her your money.
Save your $70. Spend it on something else. Or better yet, donate it to Mermaids, which is one of the leading charities in the UK helping trans and non-binary youth.
One super funny thing about the French Rev (that Victor Hugo even references in Les Mis) is the way it altered naming conventions, resulting in tons of WILD amazing ridiculous names!
Basically what happened was— during the French Rev the laws around registering names were relaxed, so people started giving extremely revolutionary names to themselves and their babies.
Sadly Napoleon’s government later cracked down on this. When Napoleon came into power he passed a restrictive law mandating that people had to choose among a list of “normal” names, banning the weird revolution ones, because he was a spineless coward afraid of the power these names had. The restrictive naming laws weren’t repealed until late in the 20th century.
But anyway here are some of my favorite French Rev baby names (taken from this list):
Mort Aux Aristocrates -“Death to Aristocrats”
Amour Sacré de la Patrie l’an Trois -“Sacred Love of the Fatherland Year III”
Lagrenade —“The Grenade”
Droit de l’Homme Tricolor “Right of Man Tricolor”
Égalité — “Equality”
Régénérée Vigueur— “Regenerated Strength”
Marat, ami du peuple -“Marat, friend of the people”
Marat, défenseur de la Patrie—“Marat, defender of the Fatherland”
La Loi-“The Law”
Philippe Thomas Ve de bon coeur pour la République — “Philippe Thomas ‘Go with a good heart for the Republic’”
Raison —“Reason”
Simon Liberté ou la Mort —“Simon “Freedom or Death””
Citoyen Français—“French Citizen”
Sans Crainte— “Without Fear”
Unitée Impérissable— “Imperishable Unity”
Victoire Fédérative— “Federal Victory”
Vengeur Constant —“Constant Avenger”
