Harry: Professor Do You Think This Is A Good Idea

@badsjw I don’t understand why you see this as a dichotomy. Why couldn’t you write several well-written and well-developed trans characters? If you can write multiple well-done cisgender characters, it seems to me that you ought to be able to write multiple well-done transgender characters.

cool ideas for characters for your story

trans

very trans

not just binary

not just trans boys

(but trans boys too)

at least 3 trans characters

more than 3 trans characters

all very cool

add more trans

George Takei educating the ignorant

baby ginny sitting herself down in professor lupin’s office hours with her eyebrows furrowed and lupin’s like “shit” bc ginny is an excellent student and very observant and contrary and less likely to take shit than even hermione granger and is rather reminiscent of other red-haired gryffindor women he has known

“i know you’re a werewolf,” she blurts

“oh?” he says though he is thinking shit shit shit shit shit

“yes, and I don’t care,” she says forcefully

“oh?” he says again, though he is carefully not feeling anything

“yeah, I know what it’s like to be possessed by something evil. it doesn’t make you evil,” she says

Of course we should consider people innocent until proven guilty, but that doesn’t mean that we should ignore the victim. If someone says “So-and-so raped me,” that’s significant evidence that so-and-so raped them. People making false rape accusations are extremely rare.

In most crimes, if someone says they were the victim of a crime committed by another specific person, we believe the victim. Yet somehow, when it comes to rape, suddenly we assume the victim is lying.

@theshynekotaru : What evidence would you consider sufficient, if the eyewitness evidence of the victim isn’t enough for you?

Toby Turner aka Tobuscus

There’s been allegations about him and I just want to say that it’s still innocent until proven guilty not guilty until proven innocent. Rape claims can ruin someones life and unfortunately there’s been so many people who have lied about being raped by friends or strangers, and even famous people that yes people are cautious as hell.

It happened with Yammimash, Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Basically, Lui, and many many others.

People can make false allegations so it’s best to get the FULL story, from all sides, before just jumping onto the victims side or the accused side.

Some peopel have found evidence that the girl may not have been where she claimed to be during one of the dates and other people close to Toby have come out in support of him and others in support fo the supposed victim.

We don’t have enough evidence to convict him fully and we don’t have evidence to prove him innocent either.

Do NOT just jump to conclusions with rape allegations there needs to be provided proof that isn’t just text messages or tweets as they can easily be faked by hundreds of various free softwares online.

Alien Invasion?

Here’s a different take on the alien invasion trope: 

The world is going to shit: overpopulation, deforestation, pollution, global warming, everything. The only question is if we’ll kill ourselves off before we kill the planet out from under us. Then one day ships appear in the skies all over the world- not just America and countries with trendy landmarks, but EVERYWHERE. Efforts are made to stop the “attackers” but humanity is still rounded up and carted off to some strange alien facility. 

Food (of a sort) and shelter are provided, but no answers are forthcoming because humanity’s captors don’t bother talking to us. Maybe select individuals are taken off for testing, but they all come back in more or less the same condition they were found, except maybe with immuno-boosters or a few troubling terminal diseases cleared up. There’s massive speculation about what’s going on and probably religions are formed based on various beliefs about what the aliens are doing with us, but no one knows for sure. 

This goes on for years (or longer) and then one day everyone is rounded up again and taken back to Earth. Everything is exactly how we left it (except maybe dustier and overgrown) except now there’s no pollution, the ice caps have been repaired, global temps stabilized, ozone holes patched, everything. There are more forests, more crops, and maybe a few critical species (like bees) have been given a population boost. There probably isn’t a lot of thought to where people get dumped so a lot of folks end up in the wrong countries and whatnot, but eventually we sort ourselves back out and either make our way back home or settle down where we are. In a world that’s a little better than the one we left.

And that’s how humanity finds out they’re just an alien terrarium and the owners have stopped by to clean the tank.

this one kid’s test answers are so funny xD you won’t BELIEVE how clever they are

Wow, that was an amazing response.

Reblog if it is okay to start talking to you.

Honestly the Hufflepuffs would probably leave their wifi unlocked intentionally so that if you were away from your tower you could use it.

Hogwarts WiFi Passwords

Let’s get real, it’s a school filled with wizards and controlled by wizarding adults. The Hogwarts Wifi password would be “password.” At best, it would be “hogwarts.”

But as for the individual houses…

Slytherin:

Network Name: The Dungeons

Password: 6FBb9w52 [changed monthly to protect from potential leaks]

Gryffindor:

Network Name: The Best House Ever

Password: Gryffindor1 [was “Gryffindor” for 6 years straight, but they changed it after too many unwelcome visitors]

Ravenclaw:

Network Name: Ravenclaw Tower Wifi

Password: fire [Prefects will only give the password in riddle form, it’s up to students to work out what the actual password is.The password is also changed frequently. In this case, the riddle is “Give me food, and I will live. Give me water, and I will die. What am I?”]

Hufflepuff:

Network Name: PuffPuff

Password: Pass

You can't really say for all of American students how much homework they get, I'd also rephrase that bc it sounds like you're saying they're at fault for doing what kids do which is explore their world and learn through social interactions. Today it includes social media and Netflix and it may not be the best use of their time but most teens can't function the same way as adults.

Right, that’s why I tried to qualify it by saying “at most schools.” My school is known for giving a lot of homework, and that’s largely what I’m basing my observations off of since I don’t spend that much time with people at other schools. (Other American high school students are welcome to chime in here! I don’t claim to speak for everyone.)

You may be right that it sounds like I’m blaming them. If you have suggestions for rephrasing feel free to send me them.
