CW: Self-harm, mention of self-harm

There was a recent uptick in responses to my old comic about being bullied, and I worried readers may be drawing conclusions about what kind of person bullies and what kind of person is bullied based on a pretty limited slice of information. The reality is a lot less tidy than that, at least it was for me. 

If you’re hurting because of something that happened in your past, or you’re a young person going through a tough period, I hope you’ll reach out to the people you trust and/or the resources accessible to you. If you’re under 18 and in Canada, I know Kids Help Phone does terrific work.

I think one of my favorite things about the Harry Potter fandom is how someone casually mentioned Hermione could be black and Harry could be mixed and the fan artists were like ‘okay’ and now nearly every fanart I see has a black Hermione and mixed Harry and it’s, it’s just so glorious.
