"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." I feel like people should hold these words and these ideas close.

Oh boy super late! Final Fantasy 14 times tonight~ twitch.tv/ranaitia kick.com/ranaitia

Made a patreon. I'm not very confident in my drawing and storyboarding skills, but I always wanted to draw manga/comics. And I thought, why not now? So now I want to try and adapt at least parts of books with Malfoid interactions into manga/comic format with some other small tweaks. And if it all goes well, who knows... Meanwhile, ofc I still will continue to do fanarts etc. That's all. Thank you for your support guys, I will never forget this joyfull times.

Day 4 complete on Day 6... Inktober going so well. Oh well... Still no .05 pen for the job. And outta gens to do the LLM side of things. "..."

I've been thinking of a couple names for the "reincarnated villainess" story for Malfoy. I've seen a few bouncing around here and there. Dracina and Draconia are recognizably "Draco" in appearance or sound but I'm not really a fan of either. Lyra comes up a lot, but that's the old magic from the deep of HP fanfiction. It's stylistically not "Draco" but it does fit with Draco's naming style: a constellation. In this case, the Lyre instead of the Dragon (they're also neighbor constellations). This name has commonly been used for female Dracos, Draco's twin sisters, and Draco's daughters in countless fanfictions. But then there's Dracaena. It has the same pronunciation as Dracina but is more...elegantly spelled. It also is the Latin for "female dragon", so it's pretty on the nose as a girl version of Draco's name and still maintains the origin of the name being the Draco constellation. But the real kicker that makes me lean toward this one is the dual tie in with her mother, Narcissa. It matches her mother's botanical style name, it pays homage to the original Draco's name and origin, and it feels suitably noble. ...I may have thought way to much about this...

(Trans Media Rant) I don’t want them to have it either. Their messaging is incredibly annoying. Incoming meta rant: I find it hilarious that trans people have their own manga and anime characters and they don’t celebrate them at all. Have you guys ever heard of Hourou Musuko or Kyou Kara Yonshimai? I didnt…think so… they never talk about them with the same volume. They only want to convert. Conversion is far more popular in the discourse… it’s either taking a character who is not trans and making them trans or forcing “I am pro trans” on a character who never said that. Which leads me to question—is any of this even about being “transgender” at all? It almost seems to me like it’s a thing that MUST BE observed. It feels ENTIRELY based on observation by other non trans people. Which is why they never shut up about it and try to force feed it down people’s throats. I literally saw someone the other day with a blue and pink tshirt on it that just says “transgirl” on it and I was like what the fuck!? I thought these people just want to live as the other gender… That’s when it dawned on me… that the observation was THE ENTIRE POINT of this neo trans movement. Sure there’s people you would associate with the actual impetus of “transgender”who want to transition and vanish… you never hear from them… but most of it nowadays seems to be people who actively NEED to force other people’s perception in alignment with their desires. The impetus seems entirely about projection of power. I don’t even think this umbrella “transgender” term is even remotely describing the same people. It’s a definitional mismatch… and honestly probably a smokescreen… to distract from the real motives of what is going on. It’s basically a motte and bailey. The motte being “people who want to live as the other gender and be left alone and blend in with society and do their best to do this” which tbh I think most people in society would be okay with (see 15 years ago). The Bailey being: “IM TRANS AND ITS MAAM YOU WILL CALL ME WHAT I WANT AND LET ME INTO THE SPACES I DEMAND REGARDLESS OF MY LEVEL OF EFFORT. YOU WILL PERCEIVE ME HOW I DEMAND. WE WILL MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT US AND SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT YOU SHOULD BE KILLED.” Which everyone is completely fucking fed up with. It’s fucking nuts bro… Anyway just a side rant of my observations. (1/2)

Isekai Tensei is an anime trope, Villainess is also an anime trope. The two are often combined. So is the genderswap trope itself which goes back at least to Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu (2006) where Kyonko was a popular internet meme among 2ch/nico circles. I was there, I cosplayed her. Malfoid was from anime fan artists and carries the same core culture which is why almost every depiction is anime. Malfoid is neither “anti trans” nor “pro trans” in messaging and I don’t want either to claim it. Making an isekai tensei villainess doujin out of Malfoid is culturally weeb/otaku and 100% fits into the culture that led to its prominence.

Enjoyed the Malfoid talk! and the vod atm xD from the history to the writing, now listening to the overview of the story in tbe vod Here's something I hope you and everyone like #Malfoid #aiart @RanaItia

Suddenly had the thought of: what about a reincarnated as a villainess story...but it's Malfoid?
