Jester's cupcake

--I have this baseball cap that I made years ago - took a blank one and made it up to look like a Quidditch cap. It has a snitch on it and it says Seeker. I have worn it for years and I'm really proud of it.
Went out yesterday for a walk and when I picked it up to put it on, I was hit with a wave of serious ambivalence. It's Harry Potter, and I feel like that's kind of ruined. Do I just keep wearing it because it's a thing I made and Potter fandom was once a huge part of my life? Or is anything tied to HP tainted now?
Maybe I should buy another hat. Maybe I should make another hat.
--Really must finish my horror exchange fic today. I'm, like, 75% done and just need to get my shit together.
--Took today off just to have today off and slept in until 9:30. Considering my past three days of terrible/nonexistent sleep, it feels like a miracle.
--Still not really able to read anything. My focus is gone, and also my emotional ability to plow past conflict. Which, of course, is what good fiction is about! It's no good without conflict. But I just don't have it in me.
--I probably need some Critical Role DW icons. A creative task for 'at some point.'
--Still here.

I probably need some Critical Role DW icons.
I support this plan :)

Just my two cents: one can very well enjoy the works of an author/actor/singer without agreeing with said person. Now, endorsing them by buying newly published stuff, hiring them for new roles after they did the thing you donât agree with, is another thing but WHY would you want to let them ruin your enjoyment of a canon that was a) published when you didnât know they were a douche and b) has transformed so much itâs not âtheirsâ anymore anyway...
You wonât punish them because they already got their royalties from it.
Tl;dr: I subscribe to the âseperate work from authorâ-approach (but your mileage may vary)

I suspect there's a lot of "Potter is ours now, you can't have it back" going around the fandom for a long time now.
