I procrastinated on posting this because I was nervous!

I want to start by saying that the Harry Potter series was deeply important to me growing up, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s a masterwork of storytelling and world building and taught me a lot about how to be a good person in a dark world. That said, it’s important to be critical of the media you consume; you can love something but still want it to be better and call out its flaws.Read more... )

At the extended family Christmas party I converted my cousins to shipping Scorbus and Ginny/Luna (Linny? Guna??). And they were already Wolfstar shippers! I'll count tonight as a win.

On a related note, I'm always pleasantly surprised by how LGBT-friendly the current generation of kids and teenagers is. The state of the world often seems dire, but whenever I talk to young people I'm filled with hope for the future.

Christmas in the Philippines is supposed to be lit. I've been invited to family parties for the next few days from all of the different branches (and some I can't even go to because they conflict with each other!). People start getting ready for Christmas in September--that's when all the stores started decorating and playing Christmas music! I've heard fireworks going off at night for a while. I'm living in a pretty Westernized area, but I've still seen some really beautiful parols, traditional Filipino Christmas lanterns. If I have time later this week maybe I'll do a write-up on Christmas here.

Merry Christmas! Maligayang Pasko!

I watched A Room with a View for the first time today and there isn't a big enough fandom for me to post my takes but I’m doing it anyway. Maggie Smith and Judi Dench's characters were DEFINITELY dating. You're welcome!
