Hi, I may or may not delate this later, but I wanted to rant about the werewolf incident between Snape and the marauders and its honest sheer idiocy. And I mean Idiocy on everyone's part.
First, Sirius. What the fuck is wrong with you, man? What made you think that it would be a good idea?! Are you really going to say that you thought Snape would not get gravely hurt? That he could not end up dead or cursed like your friend? You know, the one you outed?!?
Now, Snape. What kind of rubbish crossed your mind when you decided that doing what one of your bullies said was a good idea? What made you think that going to a supposedly haunted house in the middle of a full moon nigth was ok? In Hogwarts, the castle next to a forest full of creatures and deadly plants. This boy suspected that something was happening, and I've read that he had already started to figure out Lupin's problem. So why did he go!?!?
And Dumbledore. Did you really think that detention was a good way to deal with near murder? I'm not talking about it being sufficient, though it wasn't. I'm saying that there were a bunch of very traumatised teenagers rigth in front of him and he didn't do anything, or at least, nothing that had been explicitly mentioned. I'm talking about some kind of counseling and a better eye on them. Things had clearly gone too far, but you take one and punish him in quite an inefficient manner and don't specifically tell him why; take the other and threaten him into silence, then tell him that he owes a life debt; praise the other for his heroic actions (which perhaps was right but, idk, just hope he didn't do it in front of Snape just when he was dragged out of the shack, that would hace been too soon. Also, I've seen people writing Lily using James' saving Snape's life as proof of the later being unfair and the former being good, which only points to Potter not knowing when to keep his mouth closed...); and lets not forget about the werewolf whose secret was reveled by one of his friends and was nearly pushed to kill someone, did Dumbledore do something for the boy not to mentally collapse?
Just, it was all handled so badly.
Sirius felt way more guilty about revealing Remus nature than nearly killing someone. He kept talking about how much of a pest Severus was and seemed to pretty much think he truly deserved what he got. I don't think Sirius was a bad person, he was screwed, the place he grew up ensured that, but he had other people, he had the chance to learn and was capable of emphaty. But I don't think it really hit home what he nearly did.
James must truly have felt like a hero and what he did was brave, but bragging about it was degrading for Snape and a remainder for Lupin, not to mention the fact that the question of what he had saved Snape from, was dangerous territory for Remus.
Snape was nearly killed and then left alone to deal with it with no kind of support or compensation. I understand the need to keep things secret, but the life debt thing was going too far.
It's just that I get they were kids, only 15, but they had or should have had enough awareness to think trough what they were doing.
Dumbledore had a lot on his plate, and again, I don't think he was bad, but he screwed up.
Honestly, is there a fic where Severus thinks something like 'nah, no way I'm going there, I don't care if they think I'm a coward, I'm not that stupid' and then goes to bed to wake up the next day with nothing happening?
My moot on twt posted this...
I'm not okay :(
*Person A does unhinged shit.*
Person B: "How in the fuck does your brain work?"
Person A: "Against my will."
I'm reblogging this just for that last sentence and all other fandoms and contexts I can imagine it in...
love seeing the beginnings of perseus "pay your fucking child support" jackson's crusade against the gods' parental negligence problem in ep 1 & 2 of the pjo show. the absolute KING of "my daddy gave me issues so HE'S about to HAVE issues"
Alrighty ya'll, I finally made a master post!
This is an eventual Dash/Danny AU where Dash works part-time as a mechanic and Danny's car is going through it. Takes place their senior year of high school.
Current Parts:
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Will be updated as each new part is posted. I'm expecting this to end up with a total of 9-10 parts
This are carnivorous plants...
There was a fair in a part of the city and there were a couple of really nice stalls. One of them was of carnivorous plants. Just carnivorous plants.
The man in charge of the stall was really nice and explained to me when I asked about the one in the second photo. If you see this post and see that what I am saying is wrong, feel free to say so.
Anyways, he said that there was like a substance on the "mouth" of the plant. I understood that the insect was sort of attracted to it. Then I'm not sure if the insect got like stuck and started to slide down on the tube where the liquid of the plant got sort of digestive.
My explanation sucks and I should have checked on google. Truly, I simply thought that the man was really polite and good for explaining that to me and that him having his little stall filled with big and small carnivorous plants (the photos are of the small baby-carnivorous-plants that are no bigger than the palm of my hand because I liked them) was kind of great and wanted to put it here.
Do you know what would also be interesting?
A serie of one-shots like this. A group of what-ifs. And some characters reacting to them.
So, like you said, what if Lily survived along with Harry, and not understanding his true roll in the war, sent him to Azkaban?
What if Lily helped Severus on the day of his worst memory?
What if he changed schools?
What if he left the Wizarding World?
What if he'd been sorted into Gryffindor? Or Ravenclaw? Hufflepuff?
And some others that, at the begginig, seem to focus on someone else, but they end up focusing on Snape somehow.
What if Riddle hadn't hidden his true upbringing, but still managed to form the Death Eathers?
What if James got over Lily?
What if Dumbledore found out about the horrocruxes earlier?
What if Grindelwald escaped and formed a third party on the war?
And... Well, you get it.
I just think it would be hilarious to have most people realize that, yes, Severus is important. All the while Dumbledore and Voldemort are squeezing their brains, trying to think of a way to ensure tge man's loyalty.
And Severus only thought is an absolutly miserable "Why me?"
Lily and Harry survive, Lily throws Severus into Azkaban. She watches with gleeful pleasure as the dementors suck all the happy memories away from him. She hears him beg "Please don't take her away from me" and wonders who he could be talking about. A few days later she goes to him to gloat but he doesn't recognize her. The story could focus more on Lily finding out all the things Severus did in the first war since he switched sides. One could create a few dramatic and painful choices he would have had to make then as well.
Ending with the grim prospect of the dark lord rising soon on the horizon and no spy to keep the pace of the war in check. ----
Maybe make a few known and beloved characters attempt to spy only to fail miserably/go insane/ switch sides.
Those who fail of course get tortured and killed for information, making the war even harder.
-------
The entire focus of the fic would be to highlight how monumental Severus Snape's contribution to both wars was.
Because of the lack of leader role models in the world, it only makes sense for people to not know what makes a good leader. These are some of my ideas because I am also on the lookout for a good leader
—Understanding the people they lead. Their different beliefs, what they want, and the overall approval their actions have with the community they lead. Yes this even can be done with massive countries
—Good speaking abilities. Clear, confident voices, staying on topic, being able to answer as many questions as possible
—Addressing issues based on fact rather than opinion
—If they are unaware of ongoing issues (ex: not enough evidence is known at the moment), not going off of speculation and remaining rational as to not accidentally create hate towards the people/s who may or may not be responsible
—Showcasing personality/beliefs in a way that doesn’t overshadow their policies
—BEING CLEAR. Clear with intentions, ideas, plans, everything
—Working with as many people as possible, followers, co-leaders, other leaders, ext.
—Respectful to the issues being addressed by other groups
—Organized
—accountable for their own actions, behavior, and how they got to that point
I've been reading a lot of Bill Redeption fics, and I've noticed how Mabel is usually the first to warm up to the triangle.
Now, I've seen a post sugesting a scenario where she is the last instead, because of all the shit he put her trough during Weirdmagedon with the Dream Bubble. And it's true, it would be good to read.
But is there any fic where the first to warm up to Bill is Dipper?
I'd like to see Dipper reluctuanly getting closer to the Dorito because he is curious like his grunkle Ford was, but also because with all of Bill's weirdness and crazyness, Dipper can't help but be reminded of Mabel. I want Dipper to take a look at this strange and now very lost creature trying to make sense of his insane, new reality in his own way and see Mabel. See her in the weird things Bill could sugest to eat, on the strange ways he'd like to have fun, on the risks Bill would sometimes take without realising, on his wish to always have fun, on his constant talking, on his need to be seen and heard and not to be alone.
I want him to take a look at this no longer so evil Dorito and find his sister on him.
And how could anyone so alike to his sister be completely bad?
And then, on the other side would be Bill, seeing Dipper and being unable to not see Ford the way he first found him, naive, cautious with others but so eager to know more. Not a substitute, never that, but a memory of old, good times.
Just... think, try to imagine this.
Once again thinking about: "He was only fifteen-" "I'm fifteen!"
Imagine being Harry and finding out that one of the worst people you've ever met who does nothing but belittle and degrade you, who has become the antithesis of everything you aspire to be, is the victim of the exact person you believed to be the gold standard.
Because for years, everyone was telling Harry one thing about James while Snape was saying another and, for years, Harry had been comfortable believing Snape was the one who was wrong.
So, imagine being Harry and all you have left of your parents is the memories people choose to share with you, so you take all the scraps and make this Frankenstein idealistic version of your parents because, for a moment, it makes you feel like you actually know them.
And then, just in case you forgot, reality reminds you in maybe the worst way that you don't know these people at all.
Question for MLB fandom...
I don't follow the show that much, but I like it and I like the content the fandom creates. I only wanted to point out a thing. Why does Hawkmoth akumatizes people?
With Adrien it has already been proved that sentimonsters can be akumatized and use miraculouses. So, Gabriel doesn't need people to akumatize nor a person to use the peacock miraculous. He could create (or make someone else create) a sentimonster to use the peacock like Felix did, and control it. He could create a number of sentimonsters and akumatize them and make himself Scarlet Moth, etc.
Anyways... Penny for your thought?
