Okay, i’m actually awake now so lets list some more things that happened and include the later books!!!!
McGonnagal is very very biased and consistently takes more points and gives more detentions than Snape. Dumbledore is also biased and shows Harry so. much. favoritism.
I’m going to rehash this because there needs to be more emphasis on the fact that THEY LEFT A 16 YEAR OLD TO WRITE HIS PARENTS ABOUT THE FACT THAT HIS SISTER WAS MOST LIKELY DEAD AND THAT THE SCHOOL HAD BEEN HIDING THE FACT THAT STUDENTS WERE BEING PETRIFIED!!!!! and all this after he had been worrying about her all year and his girlfriend was attacked!!! Do you know how much guilt that boy must’ve felt? how do you even write a letter like that? The teachers weren't even going to floo call???
Remus Lupin, the man who never told the authorities that Sirius was an Animagus bc he didn’t want to face his mistakes. Remus Lupin, the man who brushed off his and his friends consistent bullying, torture, sexual assault, and almost murder of a fellow student as “a joke gone a bit too far” Remus Lupin, a man who forgets his medicine for a condition he hates and has dealt with his whole life and thus puts a castle full of unaware students are risk How is this man an authority figure?
Lets also reinstate a tournament that was disbanded for its high death toll!!!! And lets also let the entire student body shun and hex a CHILD for getting entered in against his will and do nothing to stop it!!!! And lets reinstate this tournament after obvious death eater attacks and an (alleged) serial killer breaks out of Azkaban and tries to (allegedly) kill a student residing at said school!!!! The ministry doesn't know that Sirius wont come for Harry again, they don't know that those death eaters wont attack again!!! But no! Lets host it here instead of going to France or Scandinavia!
Also, lets appoint a man to DADA teacher who is borderline insane and recently attacked his trashcans because he though they were Dark Wizards!!! let this man of all men teach students!!! Don't really reprimand him when he transfigures a student who he then shoves down another students pants!!! Like that isn't traumatizing!!! Lets give this man permission you use the unforgivable curses in front of students!!! Again, War Generation Students!!! The Longbottoms were in the order, you know what happened!!! “Lets show Neville exactly what happened to his parents and broke their minds so much how own mother doesn't recognize him! That’ll be great for his mental health.” “Lets also show Harry how his parents died for him in great detail and then immediately afterward draw the whole class’ attention to him!” Yes the man was a death eater but Dumbledore gave special dispensation for the curses to be demonstrated!!!!
Yes, once a younger student gets put in the tournament we aren't going to make the challenges easier!!! That wouldn't be fair!!! We are going to have a 14 YEAR OLD face a dragon and chain his friend to the bottom of the lake!!!
ALSO THEY CHAINED AN 8 YEAR OLD GIRL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BLACK LAKE SURROUNDD BY MERPEOPLE AND GRINDYLOWS!!!! ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!
Hagrid: *breeds a new creature for COMC class even though breeding new creatures is illegal* Hagrid: *has 14 year olds take care of said creature with unknown powers who cannibalized the other creatures* Amos Diggory: *works for the department of regulation and control of magical creatures and definitely heard about them from his son* Amos Diggory: *does nothing about said creatures* Hogwarts Staff: *does not report Hagrid for illegal breeding or stop the dangerous lessons that gave children burns and stings even though Hagrid definitely didn't know the effects the stinger venom could have had on students*
Lets give the most dangerous dragon to a 14 year old and not have him switch or assign the dragons in the first place.
Lets give the champions a difficult clue and not tell them what they need to do to prepare even though said 14 year old probably does not have the knowledge needed to decipher said clue.
Lets have no protection against falling in the broom sport where iron balls are enchanted to knock people off their brooms and grievously injure them often breaking bones and causing concussions!
Lets fill a maze with dangerous spells and creatures and have no way of seeing the competitors. How is one to send off red sparks when incapacitated because of an Acromantula, Blast-Ended Skrewt, Sphinx, or deadly spell??? Lets also not spell the cup against tampering!
Its totally normal for reporters known for slander to drag a teenager into a broom closet with that blasted quill. And then do nothing about the article. Why are they letting the worst reporter into the school at all!!!!
Lets do nothing about the crowds of students harassing and stalking the foreign celebrity! Or the students harassing and stalking the girl(s?) with veela blood!
Yes we teacher gladly ignore the slanderous bullying buttons that most of the student body is wearing.
We also ignore that Rita Skeeter is harassing minors is the gossip columns with unfounded romantic insinuations and making them appear in a horrid light.
No counseling once again after a dead student appears on school grounds, no Harry is totally fine after witnessing that, lets just ship him home! And the other students are totally not traumatized by seeing a dead schoolmate!! it’s fine.
Lets immediately give the death eater with information the kiss! Lets also not look for what happened to Barty Crouch Sr.’s body and blame everything on the new hire because he is poor and new and easy to blame!!! And then lets have a full inquiry for said 18 year old and then give him a high end job at your (Fudge’s) side so he feels indebted to you for this chance of redemption so that you and your associates can manipulate him further!!!
Lets ignore the bullying and students calling Harry crazy for saying he witnessed the rise of the dark lord.
Lets also punish said boy for getting punished by the manipulative ministry official (McGonnagal took points) and ignore him trying to tell you that hes being tortured.
STUDENTS ARE BEING TORTURED AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING, SOME OF THE TEACHERS HAD TO’VE FOUND OUT!!!! ESP POPPY POMPHREY WHEN FIRST YEARS WHEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR THE PAIN!!! DO SOMETHING YOU USELESS AUTHORITY FIGURES!!!
Bertha Jorkins goes missing? Oh its normal she’s fine! They say as she was tortured and killed
Fred and George never get punished for basically running human experiments in the common rooms!!!!! And for making money off of it!!!
Also Harry gets ignored by his mentor and basically abandoned and treated like a child bc Dumbles wants to ‘preserve his innocence’ or ‘let him be a child for as long as possible’. That boy was never a child! He had no childhood! He was locked up and starved and forced to do everyone's chores and cook as soon as he could reach the stove. He was thrown into hallways and had his head swung at by a frying pan and was beat up by his cousin and humiliated all his life. He was never innocent, was never a child, i wouldn't be surprised if he had to potty train himself. Dumbledore avoiding him and keeping his from the order and the prophecy was the worst thig he could've done.
Harry never gets counseling for seeing the local warlord murder people and attack arthur weasley with a snake
FRED AND GEORGE SHOVED GRAHAM MONTAGUE INTO THE BROKEN VANISHING CABINET! BEING IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE ALMOST DROVE HIM INSANE BEFORE HE APPARATED (without a license or much practice) AND LODGED HIMSELF IN A TOILET ON THE FOURTH FLOOR. THEY ALMOST MURDERED HIM AND HE WAS IN A FUGE STATE FOR MONTHS. HERMIONE SUGGESTED THEY TELL POMPHREY WHAT HAPPENED BUT HARRY AND RON SAID NO. HE WAS NEVER THE SAME AND JUST BARELY SURVIVED!!! FUCK YOU FRED AND GEORGE, YOU NEVER TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALMOST KILLING SOMEONE!!!
Oh! Percy left this year! The year where the Weasley families horrible treatment of him came to a head and they disregarded his achievements and how amazing it was that at 19 years old he had such a high position after years of being ridiculed and Arthur became the worst father on the planet!!! Percy is my favorite character and he deserved better.
Also Dementors. he had a full criminal hearing like those for genocidal maniacs like Bellatrix Lestrange. Yup that’s normal.
I would list everything the ministry did this year but i’m trying to keep this shorter than it already is so i’m just going to say that they slandered a minor in the largest wizarding newspaper in Britain for a whole summer, taught nothing and focused their energy on taking over Hogwarts rather than the war effort or finding out what really happened. Put the education of the magical children of Britain into the hands of said children because of their incompetency, and had the most dangerous artifacts in wizarding Britain (time sand, evil brains, de-aging bubble, prophecies) and the ministry itself behind such shoddy protections that 6 teenagers could break in easily. All this led to more people dying than necessary in the war.
Harry never gets counseling for watching his godfather get murdered right in front of him they once again ship him off with his grief bc he’s so fine and then wonder why he doesn’t trust adults.
Year 6: AKA the year where a grown man collects teenagers for their connections and teaches them to brew a date rape/obsession drug and then no one ever punishes Romilda Vane for using it on a fellow student. Its almost worse than mind control.
Katie Bell almost gets murdered and there is no investigation of who did it but thank god finally someone goes to St Mungo’s when they need it.
Ron gets poisoned, again no investigation, again no St Mungo’s. This is a school!!!! They deal with spells gone wrong and bumps and bruised and broken bones!!! Not Petrification, attempted murders, soul stealing possession, near death from a broken vanishing cabinet, and the deadliest poison in the world!!!
Also they never closed the school after death eaters broke in and they had to fight for their lives, and bill weasley was permanently disfigured.
Lets give teenagers liquid luck!!! That a great idea even though its illegal in certain circumstances!!!
And then Dumbledore says its a great idea to take Harry on a deadly mission, the same one that has killed in the past!!! Oh jolly itll be an adventure he says as Harry has to watch him be mentally tortured with the Draught of Despair and then almost killed by inferi.
Then he dies.
Only one thing to say about year 7: No one appreciated Regulus Black enough, we get one chapter and that is? Come on his is my second fav character and we only get a short section devoted to his tragedy?
End note: Again, Fred and George almost murdered a student and drove him to temporary insanity, never checking on him until he saved himself which injured him and permanently mentally traumatized him. All this bc he was part of the inquisitorial squad and tried to take points. They were uncaring of the fact that it may take him weeks to reemerge and never once were guilty that they almost killed him.
harry potter and the year a literal teenager was blamed for not noticing his new boss was acting weird and was given loads of shit and was held responsible but staff of the safest place and the best school in wizarding world and the best wizard failed to notice the man they knew very well was actually a death eater in disguise and got away without a single complaint aka the year nobody got a haircut.
Thist this all of this!!!!! Sometimes i ship things with large age gaps, where one of the characters may be kind of young by some standards. And sometimes the characters are adopted siblings and sometimes the charcacters have been toxic to eachother in canon and sometimes they are completely ‘normal’ and the same age and fine.
But at this point ive been demonized so much that I barely even talk about it outside of specific cirlces.
Is it me or is the anti movement... really american? We have that stereotype over here that americans are super uptight about sex and super shy about it and obsessed with purity and hiding it from the children and stuff. Idk as a european it always striked me as a product of american culture
it’s very, very American. While there are certainly antis who aren’t American, many of them are.
I have a lot of theories as to why this is, but a lot of them are covered in this post: anti-shipping as the cool new trend (while it’s mostly about the age bracket of anti-shippers as of June 2017 (this time last year), it’s an americentric post talking almost entirely about US phenomena).
tl;dr version? anti-shipping is:
the natural result of growing up both LGBT+/queer and marinated in American-flavored Puritan Christianity/purity culture
with a side order of valuing safety over freedom
b/c you’ve always had freedom of information
but you’ve never known a sense of security
thanks to lifelong internet access
paired with post-9/11 paranoia.
add a dash of radical feminism/exclusionist thinking
never being taught how to think critically, and
zero education on sex of any kind, and
viola: anti-shippers.
Ok but like if they all came back to life, I feel like it could go one of two directions with how the choir reacts afterward
They could either never bring up what happened with Karnak because it was like too painful or something
Or it could go in the complete opposite direction with them constantly bringing up what happened, usually to make fun of each other
Like one day this one teacher is being a huge jackass so when the teacher asks if they have any fun facts they’d like to share with the class Noel just stands up and goes “When a lioness has children-“
Ocean and Constance are desperately trying not to laugh
Mischa makes it a personal game to call as many people as possible a spielverderber
Somebody is talking for a really long time during a presentation and when it’s over Ricky just signs “And that is why not everyone should have a library card!” while Mischa just tries to not burst out laughing
Penny will sometimes recite Ricky’s Silver Surfer speech just so she can laugh about it later when people are like “Wow. So deep 🥲”
Sometimes you’ll just hear one of them humming everyone’s songs
The funniest time this has happened is when Noel caught Ocean humming “This Song Is Awesome”
Constance bakes everyone Zolar themed cupcakes and they’re so good
Yes! yes to all of this!
Percy is such a complicated character and such a good one andi find a lot of people dont understand that because in fandom he is mostly relegated to 'the annoying one'.
I don't understand how people can love and idolize the twins when all their page-time is of them playing cruel jokes and being basically the same person duplicated,
AND THEY ALMOST MURDERD GRAHAM MONTAGUE BY PUSHING HIM IN THE BROKEN VANISHING CABINET BC HE WAS GOING TO TAKE POINTS AND LAUGHING ABOUT IT WHEN HE REAPPEARED 4 MONTHS LATER CATATONIC AND TRAUMATIZED FOR BEING STUCK IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE AND HAVING TO APPARATE HIMSELF WITHOUT TRAINING OUT OF IT. He splinched himself and got lodged in a toilet because at that point he was brain damaged and you shouldn't be able to apparate within hogwarts He barely survived. He was unresponsive for months. And the twins never show remorse or turn themselves in for near-manslaughter or do anything but laugh.
Against that what has Percy done? This boy became Junior undersecretary to the minister at 18 and left because his family never tried to understand or even like him. He was young and disrespected and left. Wouldn't you do the same?
Percy rant because this blog needs more posts
Listen, Percy Weasley is a member of the Weasley family so as much as you dislike him atleast respect the fact that Percy exists because if you don't that is just insulting to the character to pretend he doesnt exist.
And if you do that you're as bad as the movies where Charlie wasn't there.
Next-
I think I resent the twins a little is because there is absolutely no character development shown. Apart from Gryffindor traits(brave, courageous, etc) and being funny, the twins wouldn't exist.
Notice how I say twins because there is absolutely no difference highlighted between them. They're both same or similar. All these differences are headcanons by fans. That's not what pisses me off the most.
The fact that there is no remorse or guilt for the pranks they play. There is no apology for sending Percy dung. No apology for catering to Ron's acronophobia. No apology for anything.
And when Percy comes back, Fred says he's a moron. Okay maybe that's brother talk but seriously?
There's no growth. They were immature when they were little and still immature at 20.
And then there's the whole leaving from school. I mean you are in your last year. All that is left are your exams but you make the reckless decision to leave immediately. After which there are no consequences of your actions. Your parents forgive you and all is well.
The twins never receive any punishment which obviously bolsters their confidence and they become more wild.
Percy is a good person and a good brother.
If someone insults you constantly and it's your own family who does so. Imagine
In your mail you receive animal dung.
You get trapped into a pyramid
You overhear your brother talking about how you're the worst person to their best friend
Your father laughs at you and doesn't show you respect.
Your father accuses you of betraying them
Your father tells you you got the promotion due to him and not from your hardwork
Your brothers take your things and ruin it constantly
Your brothers make fun of you in front of your boss
Your brothers and sister throw food at you
You have a special nickname known as git which is not used fondly
Your gf is in a coma and you overhear your brother making fun of her.
You are accused of being an accomplice to your boss's illegal work and are about to go to court for a trial and your family is not bothered.
So you're tired of the torture. You leave.
And besides your mother noone tries to contact you.
Why should Percy return?
Let me make this very clear:
They weren't even worried about him DURING A WAR?????
So when I say Percy shouldn't have to apologise first I mean it.
Another thing
People who believe Percy left his family over a promotion.
Did you not read how Arthur accused Percy of being a spy?
Did you not read how he was treated by the twins?
Did you just ignore how Ron talked about him?
Did you ignore the fact that they believed a villain supposed to be dead was alive?
The entire Magic community believed that Harry was lying?
Did you not read how everytime he talked people kept shutting him down?
Did you not read the way his Dad kept disrespecting him?
It wasn't about the job. It was about the lack of respect in the Burrow. It was about the way he was ignored. It was about the way he is made fun of for being different. It was about the fact that being quiet is wrong. It was about how being smart is wrong.
It was about how Percy didn't fit in the Burrow and noone bothered to comfort him about it.
Finally people who believe that Percy was responsible for the Chamber opening.
1 question -How ?????
How is Percy stopping Ginny from telling Harry about the diary equivalent to opening the Chamber?
People who believe this, I can't waste my time on yall. I seriously can't.
And the real ending-
People who hate that Percy is alive and Fred dead.
Listen you're allowed to have favourites. But hating someone because they lived instead of your favourite character is too much a stretch don't you think?
You can have your opinions. You can dislike Percy. All that I'm asking is that you find legitimate reasons to dislike him.
Don't hate him for surviving a war.
I'll just like to end this with:
I relate to Percy Weasley and I believe that he is one of the best complex side character written and we should appreciate him more.
when people talk about writing ‘the next Lord of the Rings’ they think it’s all about the wars and the languages and the histories, and Aragorn brooding in the corner of an inn and the Balrog roaring in Moria and the ruins of Isengard, and that’s how we got Game of Thrones and several dozen cheap fantasy knock-offs every year, not to mention whatever nonsense the Amazon show is going to produce
but Tolkien’s wars and languages and histories stemmed from his love of creating - of words and history and mythos - and that love infuses into everything he writes, and if you miss that then there’s no way in hell you can replicate it
and the people who want to write the next Lord of the Rings because they want to write the next epic don’t get that the story is about the hobbits’ soft and simple lives and Bilbo’s poetry and Sam’s love language being food and Eowyn discovering hope after depression and Gandalf making fireworks for hobbits even if he is a literal angelic being, and Aragorn weeping over Boromir’s body and Theoden’s kindness to Merry, and Beregond betraying his most prized orders to save Faramir, and the unlikely friendship between Gandalf and Pippin, and the even unlikelier friendship between Legolas and Gimli, and Sam and Frodo singing to each other in Mordor, and Boromir sacrificing himself for the hobbits, and Sam’s simple love for Rosie, and the restoration of the Shire, and the friendship of the Fellowship surviving down through the ages, and peace after war and hope in darkness, and the love between a gardener and a gentleman pacifist being literally the only thing that saves Middle Earth
and that is why people who try to recreate Lord of the Rings by starting with war always get it wrong. you have to start with the love, or it’s nothing: just another empty history
Arthur got: stabbed in the abdomen which put him in a coma for a month, shot in the abdomen twice and in the chest once, both of his legs broken, his throat slid open, stabbed in a shoulder and the abdomen, stabbed twice in the neck, bitten by a monster, his ear torn off, starved, poisoned, burned, punched…
If Daniel won’t get up after being shot once then he’s a fucking loser
I was planning to take a small social media break but I saw the amazing headcanon that Argyle and Billy might have been friends in California! It such a sweet idea that I just had to draw something with that :) There’s something so special about childhood friendships and having seen someone through everything including growth spurts and the preteen awkward phase! And in a scenario where Billy lived, seeing that pizza van would be like some sort of miracle after everything he’s endured.
Heatwave 🥵 This years Hawkins summer is especially hot.
🔪🔪🔪 в вк не репостить🔪🔪🔪
Crowley + power
You were an angel once. That was a long time ago.
anyone else relate
A Place where I dump all my thoughts on Books, Movies, Tv shows and any Fandom I end up involved in along the way. Favorite Characters include: Percy Weasley, Regulus Black, Dionysus, Mycroft Holmes, the 12th Doctor, Bruce Banner and many More.
