does wizard betty ever talk to golbaby? (Like comfort simon when the baby is still active and kicking more, but he wants to get more sleep. Will betty be happy if she feels the baby’s kicks? Or she’ll tell morrigan about being ready to become their mother even though isn’t because of golbetty.)
yes she does, quite a lot actually when they have downtime. especially as she warms up to simon. simon mentioned golbaby probably liking her and it sort of went to her head lol.
she likes to feel golbaby kicking! she also just finds it really cool that simon is growing a whole little life inside him. and apocalypse golbaby (affectionately nicknamed tiny dancer by betty) is much more active than normal because.. simon is almost always moving around, and betty's always there.. keeps them more engaged and awake. and they are actually extremely fond of betty! they love listening to her voice.
tw/cw for sfw and nonfetish mpreg
it's also a lot of the contact betty gives simon early on- protective over him and the baby. simon doesn't mind too much (though sometimes it can be a bit overstimulating) but he also desperately misses betty contact so.. he sort of grows accustomed to her unexpectedly putting her hand on his belly.
she starts to sleep beside simon during his 8th month to make sure he's okay and tends to notice him fussing when golbaby keeps him up. she doesn't mind sleepily trying to get them to settle at all.. sometimes she falls asleep on simon though.

Character meme thing, vodka??
FINAL ASK! No more after this!
Unironically my favorite Black Org member. You can really see a pattern with my tastes in characters from this can't you--
Why's he my favorite? Because in this super scary, hyper-competent group of bad guys where everyone is crazy smart, crazy skilled, and/or just plain crazy, in the middle of it all is JUST SOME GUY. Just a generic thug. You tell me for one second that Vodka is part of the Black Org because he's super dedicated to inventing immortality or whatever. I don't know how or why he joined the organization but I refuse to believe it's for that reason. He's here for the Mafia LARP and was maybe told he could become immortal as a kinda cool bonus. And the Black Org higher ups just shrug and give him all the grunt work no one else wants to do.
AND HE'S GIN'S BEST FRIEND SOMEHOW.
Genuinely love how close he is to Gin, reminds me of Yachiru and Kenpachi from Bleach if you know that one. This is the guy Gin allows to follow him everywhere and call him partner. This guy. This moron who almost gave his fingerprints away if Gin hadn't been there to stop it. I love him. Never change.

this will officially be the last little hint or peek of the game before the demo drops (im being serious this time) but i did want to share with you guys this option to be a fan of soft violence. it hadn't occurred to me until everyone suggested it. I was going through chapter one and looked at the three options and felt something was missing...until I realized there should be an option to be a hater lol! just wanted to share that funny little lightbulb moment i had.

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?
I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?
In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".
Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.
This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.
Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.
The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]
There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.
This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.
[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]
As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.
But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?
Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.
