since the cowboy and the samurai were both dying out in the 1800s i want an action adventure historically wildly inaccurate comic about the last cowboy and the last samurai teaming up BUT one of them is gay and the other doesn’t understand what being gay is and there are multiple comedic mishaps resulting from this

Really annoying how many ppl's framework for religion is (white) Christianity = bad // other religions = good.

Like, we have historical examples of ~The Big Five~ all being used to put together genocidal ideologies let's not push for a framework that suggests that's impossible.

One of my favorite bits in spicy LiuShen fics is if SQQ picks LQG up and like princess carries him or grabs his thighs and yoinks him up off the ground.

Yes SQQ. Show that man you're also a cultivator and strong. Fluster the fuck outta that beautiful man. He needs to be confused and horny about how he was just picked up and thrown on the bed like a rag doll.

The Bai Zhan War God needs princess treatment too

Guess what time it is? It’s rant about Percy Weasley time!

No one will ever convince me that Percy wasn’t a spy during the war. There’s nothing in the canon sources that disproves this theory (not that I’d really care if there was, because I would just ignore it, but that’s neither here nor there). 

The only “evidence” that he wasn’t a spy is two quotes from the text. This one:

“What made you see sense, Perce?” inquired George.

“It’s been coming on for a while,” said Percy, mopping his eyes under his glasses with a corner of his traveling cloak. “But I had to find a way out and it’s not so easy at the Ministry, they’re imprisoning traitors all the time. I managed to make contact with Aberforth and he tipped me off ten minutes ago that Hogwarts was going to make a fight of it, so here I am.”

I’d argue that this quote actually supports him being a spy more than not. I don’t think he was a spy in the beginning (when he initially left his family), but rather became one later when he realized his mistake and the ramifications of what was happening. The text above shows that he couldn’t get out of the ministry, so he had two main options: accept what was going on and do nothing about it (I’ll talk more about that later) or become a spy to help the cause. 

The quote also says that he made contact with Aberforth, but it doesn’t say when. It says that Aberforth tipped him off ten minutes ago about the battle, but that doesn’t mean that they weren’t in contact before that (and in fact, it would be a very unlikely coincidence if the first time Percy reached out to Aberfoth just happened to be hours before the final battle). It’s vague about the initial contact date, so it’s highly possible that Percy has been feeding information to Aberfoth for months at that point. 

The other quote that people use to argue that Percy wasn’t a spy is this one:

“I was a fool!” Percy roared, so loudly that Lupin nearly dropped his photograph. 

“I was an idiot, I was a pompous prat, I was a – a –” 

“Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron,” said Fred. Percy swallowed. 

“Yes, I was!”

This doesn’t disprove that he was a spy. If he didn’t become one until later on (like I assume), then he would have still felt responsible for his choice to leave his family, so therefore, he still felt that the apology was necessary. Plus, they were about to fight in a major battle; they didn’t have an unlimited amount of time to discuss what they had all been up to, and that would not have been a quick conversation anyway. 

His family might not even believe him at first, and he had no proof of what he was saying (since spies usually only have 1 or 2 points of contact, and Aberforth was not in the same room at the time). He very possibly just wanted to reunite and mend bridges with his family before it was too late (because he knew he could die during this battle), and then he’d deal with the specific details later when they had time (if they survived). 

I also think it’s telling that Percy was able to keep his job as the personal assistant to the Minister of Magic even when death eaters took over the Ministry. Yes, Voldemort tried to keep the coup mostly silent, so he may have thought that keeping Percy as the assistant would help ease the transition, but it really wouldn’t have made a difference; no one was paying attention to whether or not the new Minister of Magic replaced the old assistant with someone he knew better. 

It’s also possible that the death eaters just didn’t see Percy as a threat, but that seems suspicious. They saw everyone as a threat, and as the assistant to the Minister, Percy’s position would have given him unique access to a lot of important information that Voldemort would not want to fall into the wrong hands. Percy may have been estranged from his family, but he was still related to practically half of the Order of the Phoenix, and the possibility that he would betray the death eaters by reconciling with his family and passing on sensitive information was an unnecessary risk, especially when they could have easily replaced him. 

So why did they keep him there if they didn’t have a good reason to trust his loyalty (in their minds)? I personally think it’s because Percy had to fake his devotion to the cause, and he clearly did so well enough for them to believe it. Earning your enemy’s trust is crucial for any spy, and it seems like Percy managed that. 

To touch back upon my earlier comment, Percy knew the death eaters had taken over the ministry by the 7th book - he even admitted it. He wanted out, but he couldn’t get out. So how do we know that he didn’t just stay quiet and keep his head down; that he didn’t just go with the status quo? Because that’s not Percy.

This is the same guy who took points away from his own house when someone broke the rules, because it was only fair and the right thing to do. It’s not just because he followed rules blindly (we know that he didn’t because he gambled over a Quidditch game in his 7th year). He was in a serious relationship with a muggle-born, and now the ministry is sending innocent muggle-borns to Azkaban, so there’s no way that he would consider that the “right” thing to do. 

Percy didn’t hesitate to run straight into danger during the Quidditch World Cup when there was an attack, despite the personal risk, and he clearly wasn’t hesitating to join the final battle against Voldemort either, even though he just said how dangerous it would be for him to be declared a traitor (in case the good guys lost). He is not a coward. 

Are you honestly telling me that he would just sit back and do nothing about the horrors being perpetrated because it was too risky? Nah, I’m not buying that.

In conclusion, I don’t care what JKR says - Percy was a spy, and she just didn’t bother to flesh out that storyline.

robin breaks into steve’s room to ask for advice on nancy, bc steve wasn’t answering his phone and she’s freaking out. she opens the door paying no mind to steve’s tired grumbling as he sits up and rubs his eyes. robin sits down on the bed immediately talking a mile a minute her hands moving wildly. steve responds when she asks for his advice, prompting eddie to pop up from his comfy position under the covers just so he can argue with steve about how that is terrible advice, stevie. robin nearly has a heart attack from the shock of eddie suddenly appearing in steve’s bed seemingly out of no where, and that’s also how she learns the two of them are dating

Making up a reason why Steve was barefoot all the way to the Gun store + adding some extra spice to that "Big boy" remark 😏
