My Only Two Moods Ever Are Tenderness And Hysteria

*passionately thinks about story instead of writing it*

yes I’m back with the Merula moodboards

My brother mentioned how Barnaby was like Kronk, and then this sort of happened. I have doodled a lot of this crossover, so expect more relatively soon! 

I made some catradora posters this weekend!

“happy endings” this “sad endings” that– you can debate the relative merits of each till your mouth goes dry and it’s still not a meaningful binary. Is the ending coherent and emotionally appropriate for the story? Cool.

Someone: *compliments my writing*

Me, trying to hide my imposter syndrome with humor and failing miserably:

So I'm genuinely curious, you say that cis people getting cast in trans roles is discriminatory- which I get- but wouldn't casting transgender people in movies about transgender people require them to be de-transitioned for the first part of the movie? Surely that would cause dysphoria? Also, in the case of the Danish Girl specifically, it might be difficult to find an actor of Eddie Redmayne's calibre in the tiny pool of transgender actors. Although Scarlett Johansson can go to hell.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Oliver Phelps had to act as if his twin brother, who he had known since birth, who was his BEST FRIEND, had died in his arms. It was incredibly emotionally exhausting for him, but he did it. Because he’s an actor.

I’m an actor. I have had to act a whole bunch of emotionally straining scenes, but I did it because I knew what I signed up for. It is not for you, nor is it for any cis director to tell us what we can and can’t handle, and it CERTAINLY isn’t for a cis person to pretend to know that struggle.

Y’know there are plenty of trans people who haven’t transitioned yet, right? Believe it or not, I’m not even on Estrogen yet, and I’ve been out as trans publicly for two and a half years.

Lots of trans people are used to dysphoria, and lots of trans people don’t even consider it that debilitating any more. Many trans people don’t even get physical dysphoria!

Finally, but most importantly, movies featuring trans characters don’t need to be about their transition. It’s a creepy and intrusive way to look at us and our bodies to only see our value through stories of our transitions. Give me trans superheroes, trans action heroes, trans romance leads, trans political thrillers. Give me anything but Eddie Redmayne putting on lipstick as part of his wife’s force feminization fetish.

I really find it interesting how you critique Johansson for her part, but for some reason, Redmayne is immune to this because he’s an actor of a certain “calibre”. Let’s get something straight: neither Redmayne nor Johansson is good at acting, but Johansson has DEFINITELY been in more high profile movies, so I seriously can’t see you blaming her but exusing Redmayne for anything besides a harsher standard on women.

That being said, yes, they’re both proper scumbags for taking these parts. I don’t care how “high-calibre” they are when a) neither of them can act and b) how do you suppose they became high-calibre besides through, you know, being cast?

There are thousands of trans actors in the world. I have met many. I AM one and I co-star with TWO MORE in a webseries for fuck’s sake. It is the choice of cis moviemakers to ignore the talent that we have – Michelle Hendley played the MAIN PROTAGONIST of a movie about a trans woman, a role which she was perfect and amazing in, and since then, the most noticeable things she’s done have been played a 1-line drugdealer in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and made a Twitch account where she plays Street Fighter sometimes. All because cis people refuse to recognise trans talent.

Trans people barely get any roles. That’s why there are less “high-calibre” trans actors. I can name five trans female actors of the top of my head. Can you? Can anybody in Hollywood?

There is NO excuse to hire cis people in trans parts.

THIS IS THE BEST FUCKIN THING EVER I JUST READ THAT ENTIRE FUCKIN FIC IN TEN MINUTES BC IT WAS SO GOOD!

Your Pansy has me LIVING, and Im not talking abt you Draco, also I love the innuendos, and Blaise is just /////

Summary:

Hermione makes a group chat for homework purposes, but as it turns out just having teenage banter with each other is a lot more fun

Exerpt:

Pansy Parkinson: What use is nailing someone to a tree? If you’re going with human sacrifice at least do it properly and pickle his balls

Hermione Granger: What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Harry Potter: I would love to pickle your balls @DracoMalfoy

Ronald Weasley: MY EYES! MY EYES!

Seamus Finnigan: OMG @HarryPotter TMI

Draco Malfoy: I find it very offensive that @HarryPotter wants to use me as human sacrifice and the only thing you people notice is the slight innuendo

Blaise Zabini: Slight innuendo my arse, @HarryPotter wants to hide your faggots

Draco Malfoy: What on earth is that supposed to mean?

Blaise Zabini is typing…

Hermione Granger: DON’T YOU DARE EXPLAIN THAT OR I WILL BE PICKLING YOUR BALLS TONIGHT ZABINI

I meant faggots as innuendo, since there is a meat ball type/brand called faggot in Great Brittain and I use that a lot. Please don’t murder me
