I believe it's a shadow. Look where the stripe meets the dock, and you can see it continues

Ohhhh! I misunderstood and thought you meant HP stuff in general.
Yeah, I think just because it's recognizable within the fandom, and not recognizable to those outside of it (at least, in theory. It becoming so popular killed that). It's an in group marker. Sort of a HP dog whistle lol
Personally, if I had gotten an HP tattoo before the JK stuff, I'd probably have gone for the more classic glasses and scar combo, or possible a wand on my wrist.
Those books were genuinely meaningful to a lot of people. And until relatively recently, JK Rowling was a bit of a liberal darling. I remember an interview with her talking about being on welfare and how we should care for the poor. The books were clearly an allegory for fascism. I don't blame anyone for getting that tattoo. My mom read me the first 3 or 4 books as a child. I waited in line at midnight for the release for the 5th. It was deeply meaningful to my childhood. If JK had not outed herself as a piece of complete trash by the time my mom passed away, I likely would have gotten an HP tattoo. I'm very glad I did not.
Anyone who got one after she outed herself is a POS, though. You just generally can't tell when they got it.
I am the guy with the truck.
The truck is proof that Americans can and will accept socialism.
It's brocialism.
Hey, cool! I used to live on both sides of ya. Lol. Grew up in Hampton Roads, VA. Lived in the tri cities, Tennessee for years and years
Oh that blows! I didn't realize. I've been putting off looking into others, I really like this one. It's infinity equivalent was my preferred reddit app, too.
Alright, that's next on my list!
Second verse, same as the first. I use eternity, and the spoilers just straight up don't work for me :/
I still haven't managed to get around to any of the others. I started rocannons world, I think it's called, but I didn't get far into it before life got in the way.
Which do you suggest to go with next?
For some reason, the spoiler tags just don't work on my end. Either the normal colon based ones, or the >! Style. I don't know why.
Genuinely incredibly read.
Basic premise is an anarchist movement on alien planet got very powerful, and eventually struck a deal with the governments of the planet. Send us to the moon. We will eek out a life on the moon, removed from you and your economic system. The main planet is primarily capitalist, with one Soviet Union analog Nation. There's a balancing act between act, no one can admit the anarchists are successful, none of the anarchists can admit that the planet has a significantly higher standard of living. The MC is the first person to visit the planet in (iirc) a century. The moon is a desert, mostly barren, very hard life, but made bearable by their collectivist system and mutual aid, the planet is a paradise ecologically, and for the MC, made unbearable by their system.
Spoiler below. My spoiler tags don't work. Upside down text instead. Read on at your own risk, I'll keep the spoilers to a minimum/about the same level as the above:

A friend of mine complained that the Andalites were overly sexualized on the book covers, and that they didn't match the description in the books. She said "andalites don't have abs!"
So, I made a cursed sexy andalite
I forgot to post on the day of, but the 8th of this month was my bestest buddy's 15th birthday! He went to the store and picked two toys himself (literally the cheapest toy they had and the most expensive. He knows what he's about), and he got duck flavored biscuits, and went for a ride, and got w brand new bed.
Happy birthday, Monty!
His quinceañero is May 8th!

While I agree this is probably just a made up funny joke, if you you've ever actually lived in a gift/barter community, it's pretty much this. Hung out pretty much exclusively with anarchist and various left-communists for years, and this was my life. You do things for folks, they do things for you, and along the way you end up with stuff like a shit ton of honey, and you end up giving that honey out in exchange for something else, and you end up meeting someone with a weird skill, and it all just spirals into this weird and glorious community.
The difference is that in real life, you're not saying "I'll give you this honey for a bird corpse" you say "hey, man, can I have your bird corpse, I know a girl who loves macabre art, and it would be a really cool way to honor your beloved pet," and then you either give them honey as a thank you, or just later on when it comes up that they want some honey, you give them some because you happen to have some.
I once had a friend who straight up gave this guy his Prius, that same dude ended up giving a mutual friend a place to stay for over a year. Original Prius owner never got anything directly for the Prius, but he was within the little gift economy, and ended up receiving lots of things and services from various members over the years. I doubt he feels like he was not repaid for it.
It's a pretty great way to live. It's a shame we all could never work out a way to get land and built the cohousing community we dreamt of.
