Australia Is Burning: How You Can Help

Nahhhh not a therapist saying this what do you think you get paid for

Justice for Cho Chang

Alright, hear me out. 

Cho Chang has always been one of the most controversial characters of the Harry Potter series because of how she was portrayed to be so stereotypically East Asian - to the point where her full name is literally composed of two Chinese last names (we’ve all heard of that discourse before). 

What has always annoyed me the most, however, is that Cho Chang in the books has 100% more potential for charisma and personality than what the movies constrict her character to have.

First of all, Cho is a huge jock. Need I remind you that she was the only girl in the Ravenclaw Quidditch team up until her 5th year and has been an avid fan of the Tutshill Tornados since childhood? You can bet my boy Cedric developed a crush on her from getting his ass kicked on the Quidditch field.

Not only is Cho a jock, but she is also known to be one of the most popular girls at school which, to me, adds to the interpretation that she was more extroverted than introverted prior to Cedric’s death. In the books, she is often seen hanging out with groups of people and being almost intimidating from how cool she is.

Moreover, and probably most importantly, Cho was able to cast the Patronus Charm which required a huge amount of control over her emotions. Let’s not forget that during the time that she did, my girl was dealing with:

1) Trauma from her boyfriend being murdered by the freakin’ Dark Lord.

2) Losing her friends and seeing her grades going downhill as a consequence of said trauma and depression.

3) Being part of a secret organization preparing her to go to freakin’ war. An organization that could’ve ultimately cost her mother’s job at the Ministry, if I may add. 

Therefore, the fact that she was able to cast a whole ass Patronus Charm despite being obviously very tormented by her feelings of grief, anxiety and sadness is, to me, super badass and remarkable. 

So let us not carry the poor portrayal of Cho Chang from the movies, but rather celebrate the characterization that she deserves. 

When you think about it, Cho and Ginny are very similar in how they are generally disliked from their portrayal in the movies. They really went from being badass Quidditch players in the books to silent love interests on screen. 

Can we get as many voices calling out the unfair representation of Cho in the movies as we’ve gotten for Ginny?

So in conclusion,

Hey y'all! So, as some of you may know, my mom is a middle school librarian. I've posted about her a few times on here. She's been an educator for over thirty years. Before she was a librarian, she was an English teacher. She's amazing at her job, and her passion for it is part of what inspired me to become a teacher in the first place.

Like any good school librarian, my mom wants the library to be a place that's cozy, engaging, fun, and relevant to student interests. That's where y'all come in! She's made a wishlist full of all the things her ideal library would have. If you have the means to purchase something from it, you would be supporting my mom and some extremely cool middle schoolers. Any purchase, big or small, is greatly appreciated.

The link to the wishlist is attached here! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

its not done yet 

truly find it hilarious how many of us are 26 or have just turned 27 like every time I go on someone’s blog, be they mutual or otherwise, their bio almost without fail will say 26. or I’ll be wishing someone happy birthday and sure enough! they just turned 27! it’s at the point where I’m now surprised if I check someone’s bio and they’re not 26. like did we really all just join tumblr at the same time, never leave and cycle through the same fandoms over and over again until we found each other agshskd

me too nonnie <3 

Is it so hard to some people in their late 20s or just idk dumb people in general to not belittle someone for liking something? If I cry to a song I'm cringy, if I a have a Yoongi pc on my desk I'm cringy, if a Yoongi's selfie makes me happy I'm cringy I have a life outside of bts too like they love to proclaim but I just enjoy things and like to show them and feel things is that something bad?

people who shit on others interests or others reactions to things they enjoy are genuinely the worst people ever and it says something about them not you you are allowed to find joy and do your own thing without others critiquing your every move most of the time simply for the sake of being assholes,,,keep doing u i love u and if u ever wanna yell or cry abt yoongi im here and available to listen :’-)

“I am the daughter of the witch you couldn’t burn”. -White “feminists”

…

People were no burned because they were witches.

People were burned because of paranoia and superstitions, severe misogyny, xenophobia, people thinking epilepsy and other disabilities were demonic possession, people fearing red hair, wearing colorful clothing, jealousy, blemished skin and skin conditions in general, birthmarks, and fungi, which caused the hallucinations which were thought to be demonic possession and “the devil”.

The fact that white women are taking this part of history, and twisting it to make themselves look cool and hip is absolutely disrespectful and disgusting. Real people suffered and died. This is not something to glorify and praise.
