Just Putting It Out There: James Potter And Sirius Black Were Bullies, Remus Lupin Was An Enabler And

this Albert dude is so intense

I don’t know if it’s just me but up until the sixth episode or so I thought Margaret Beaufort was just some crazy religious nuts... and then I started to kind of agree with her? ‘Till this day, I can’t tell if it is because she got better or everyone else got worse.

But then somehow he was back at Winterfell again, in the godswood looking down upon his father. (Bran III, ADWD)

The thought of Jon filled Ned with a sense of shame, and a sorrow too deep for words. (Ned XV, AGOT)

Did you guys know that when Brazil became a Republic in 1889, it was only supposed to be provisional? That it had to be decided by popular vote whether we wanted to remain a Republic or not?

Well, we did. IN 1993. 104 YEARS OF PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR.

Brazil in a nutshell, honestly.

@baguettiquette That's true. But if you google curly and bushy hair you can actually see quite a bit of difference between the picture with white and black people in it. There's even a picture of Emma during in The Philosopher's Stone and it looks just frizzy in comparison? But yeah, of course you can have all types of hair! @squeegeeyourthirdeye I have also never seen a black person with blue eyes but I do have an internet connection and the ability to type in any search engine. I would also like to point out that in I never said you had a problem with poc. You are getting defensive for no reason. I also only made one post about this subject, apart from answering you, so I would appreciate you not telling me to get over something that I started talking about ten minutes ago. I am very sorry if the fact that I feel like that the Harry Potter movies could've use more of a diverse cast, especially considering Angelina Jonhson was all but cut off completely and the origibal Lavender Brown was replaced by a white actress, makes you either uncomfortable or guilty, judging by your slightly condescending and defensive reponse (and I also apologize if I'm wrong about that aswell, but I can only form opinions based on the information available to me), but if you do like my stance on tgis subject you are more than welcome to stop interacting with me. We can't always agree with each other. I would also like to say that I have nothing against Emma. I think she did a brilliant job while being so young and inexperienced. I think she has a lot of traits that are very similar to Hermione's, personality wise, and that, as a person, she was probably one of the very best choices to play that character on screen. I'm only pointing out that she doesn't look like the Hermione I picture in my head when I read the books. And the fact that there's probably a lot of little girls out there that read the books and saw the same thing I did, girls that maybe wanted to see themselves represented in the HP universe, probably felt disappointed, that's kund of sad. So, no, I'm not going to "get over it". My cousins are just as deserving of that representation as your sister, except they almost never get that. Oh, and plays are not readily available to the public like movies are, you know. A lot less people have the opportunity to see them. I know my cousins haven't seen it.

How do you politely tell people their fic is complete shit and makes no sense?

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

Things that make no sense #364: Harry Potter/Lord Voldemort pairings. I don’t know who came up with it but whoever you are, I want you to know it's bollocks.

i love emma and all that but let's be real how many white people do you know that have hair that could be described as "bushy"

I agree with almost everything except the part about Draco. Just because he didn't someone himself, doesn't mean he doesn't hold the same beliefs. If you can persecute Snape for calling Lily a mudblood at 15, then you can’t lower your standards for other people. Draco used the same word since the Chamber of Secrets. He threatened other students based on blood since he was twelve. He gave Harry death threats on the Hogwarts Express, in first year. He gloated about about a whole group of students being hunt down and petrified, to their faces. He bullied, attacked and harassed students based on blood for years. He was blatantly disrespectful to teachers that didn’t meet his purity standards. When do you draw the line about when Lucius’ influence start and Draco’s character begins? Not having the stomach for murder doesn’t make him any less than of a racist, bullying bigot. He’s willing to poison and curse but can’t face his victims? That doesn’t excuse his behavior.

gliderofgold replied to your post: My kingdom for people to remember that Snape never…

HE!!! WOULD!!! STILL!!! BE!!! A!!!! NAZI!!! IF!!! NEVILLE!!! WAS!!! THE!!! CHOSEN!!! ONE!!! my inner hannah will never let this go okay i’m mad

that’s the fucking thing tho he never really stopped?? he just stopped allying himself with a very specific group of people. his issue wasn’t with the rhetoric or the ideology, it was with the people, and he never stopped mistreating muggleborns! so like ! he was a blood supremacist thru and thru and before anyone tries to get up my ass because “but so was draco”: draco was a teenage boy parroting his father’s beliefs who acted as an agent of genocide only when forced and who eventually refused to act and to take a life, not because he was particularly invested in that specific life, but because it was the right thing to do.
