General waffle to take my mind off stuff

[birdsofshore]

I am so worried about the referendum here in Britain about whether we will stay in the European Union (I am strongly REMAIN, but I fear that the LEAVE campaign with its racist, fearmongering lies will be successful).

But anyway, YAY WIZARDS. My usual strategy for when I don't want to think about something.

1) FOUR of my prompts have been claimed at hd_fan_fair! I love every one of you crazy people! Auror peacocks! Sexy dragon bonding! Hesitant puppy roleplay! And Draco nicking Harry's post in a fit of jealousy! \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

I can't WAIT for September.

2) Another glorious poster was released for Fantastic Beasts



Oh, my heart, I am so prepared to adore this film. I desperately want a poster from the film, to replace the tattered and beloved GoF poster that's been on my bedroom door forever.



This is one of my favourite images of film!Harry and I'll be sorry to lose this poster, but it's quite ripped and I like the idea of seeing Newt there every morning instead. I found a place on eBay who sells them, but only up to A2. I suppose I might have to be patient and wait until the film is actually OUT before I get a large one, but for now... do you think I should get the latest poster, shown above, or the one that's been out for a while, as below?

I wasn't wildly interesting in Fantastic Beasts until a friend who is also quite a major film critic asked me to help her with an article on it, and now I'm really bouncy about it :)

(Also, I am so very much with you on the EU debate. The racism has been blatant and just awful - I live in Kent, which is always prone to it :/ - but as a queer, disabled woman (especially the disabled bit), really fucking terrified on my own behalf too.)

Nat is also terrified. We're both in the remain camp, as was everyone in the office today, if that helps (though I do work in an office of lefty liberal conservationists)

I will tell you what I told Tash. When I was walking home tonight there were a couple of guys standing at the top of the one way system with a vote leave sign and waving union flags. They weren't getting much response maybe one in 30 cars but the best thing was this little old lady who hobbled across the road with her sticks, booing, giving them the thumbs down and blowing raspberries.

Yeah, nearly all my friends on fb are rabid Remainers, but we're a very narrow section of society unfortunately!

FANTASTIC. I adore that image and will hold onto it. Thank you. ♥

I am so up for Fantastic Beasts. I didn't know I would be so excited about it until I saw the first trailer and then I was like OH. MY. GOD. YES.

About the referendum... I'm sorry that the result may affect you so personally. Let's keep our fingers crossed there'll be good news in the morning.
