This is so true
We get that you think Slytherin girls are ‘winged eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man’. We get that you think our aesthetic is blood-red lipstick, the clack of stilettos on marble floors, and nails filed to a sharp point.
We get it.
We get that you think Slytherin boys are ‘jaw lines sharp enough to kill a man’ (perhaps we have that in common with the girls, you think?). We get that you think our mood is bitter black coffee, Shakespearean insults, and the burn of vodka as it cascades down your throat.
We get it. So enough already.
You think you know Slytherin? You think our girls are ‘bad-ass bitches’ and our boys are ‘refined gentlemen with wicked sharp tongues’?
Well, let us tell you what it really means to embody power, pride, fraternity, cunning, and ambition.
We’d be lying if we said Slytherin wasn’t that warm feeling of sinking deeper into your seat on the bus after you watch someone miss their stop. But, for all that, Slytherin is also when you were a child sitting on your dad’s shoulders - that feeling of being literally on top of the world, made all the more proud for knowing not only that the people who love you will raise you up but will be there to catch you if you fall.
That’s Slytherin - it’s what you wanted to be when you grew up, it’s your imaginary friend, and it’s getting an A on a test you studied damn fucking hard for.
And, sure, Slytherin is also silently thanking yourself that you looked your best on the days you ran into an ex partner. But Slytherin is the courage to end a going-nowhere relationship in the first place. Slytherin means willing to do what no one else can or will, to put aside desire, fear, and comfort and to just shed what doesn’t serve them; that means being cruel to be kind and knowing, in fact, that cruelty and kindness are not black and white concepts.
That’s Slytherin - it’s your little black dress, it’s self-help books, and it’s drunken chats with strangers in nightclub bathrooms.
We are so much more complex than men in suits or women in doc martens. If all you can think of is conceit when you think of cunning and if all you can think of is dominance when you think of power…then you do not know us. And we will not ask you to try harder next time because we would rather speak for ourselves.
So, enough already; we want ‘us’ done right, so we will do it ourselves.
That’s Slytherin.
I will love this always and forever 😂😂
please expand on your peter parker teaching the avengers vines headcanon, i c r a v e more details.
I had wayyy to much fun writing this you have no idea.
So at first it’s just Peter and Ned because Peter never does ANYTHING without his guy in the chair.
That confuses the fuck out of the Avengers bc they can make no sense of it???
Clint’s the one who realizes how useful that might be and proposes the idea of teaching all the Avengers the “secret communication” thing that Peter and Ned use
Ned has a heart attack because holy shit he gets to teach the avengers vine references
But they basically sit down forever and Peter explains what vine even is (needless to say, all the Avengers are confused af)
Which leads to vine lessons (and a lot of confused breakdowns because Peter what the actual fuck that makes no sense)
It takes a looooooong time before they get the hang of it
Shuri cameo to prove that Peter and Ned aren’t insane and that it’s a teenager thing
Natasha gets it the fastest, followed by Bucky, to everyone’s suprise (they say it’s because they’re hip with the kids even though Peter explains that no one has said “hip” in like a billion years, but really it’s just because they’re used to secret codes)
Soon it expands into the battlefield and a lot of villains are caught off guard
Peter is the one who makes the main calls until the others catch on to it
Some of the references they use include:
“Miss Keisha, Miss Keisha, oh my god she fucking dead” to relay that a teammate is injured/being moved to medbay
“Ahhh stahp,” cues to Steve chucking his shield at the main enemy while saying “I could’ve dropped my croissant!”
“It’s an avocado” *Bruce turns into the Hulk* “thaaaanks”
“hurricane Katrina, more like Hurricane Tortilla” means Thor does the iconic lightning storm
“Would you like the spider in your hand?” “Yea,” “Say please,” “Please?” *Peter flies in screaming*
The one I mentioned earlier: “This bitch empty,” *camera pan to Thor screeching yeet as he throws his hammer*
“and then they were roommates… oh my god they were roommates!” is reserved for creating the Avengers Circle™
…and that’s all I have for now but feel free to rb and add to this mayhem
.
.
BONUS:
Ned becomes the Offical Vine Captain of the Avengers because he’s so underappreciated and I would die for him so he’s being included
I know it’s not valentines anymore but I just had re-blog this
This is so adorable 😍😍😍 I love it!!
You’re Snape’s daughter and in order to get good with Snape, Ron wants to ask you out, (Ron’s not an ass, lol) only for you to tell him you know he doesn’t really like you and you like Hermione anyway lol
You passed Harry and his friends as you were making your way to your father’s class, when Harry stopped you. Hermione was giving you a look. “Don’t believe him”
“Hey, y/n, uh Ron wants to know if you want-”
“Want what?” Snape asked as he appeared behind him.
They jumped, Hermione just chuckled. You smiled at her.
Suddenly, she motioned for you to follow her, curiously, you did. You didn’t want to see what your dad would do to Harry and Ron..
“You shouldn’t listen to Harry. Ron doesn’t- not that you wouldn’t be worth dating-” she said gently..
Aww, she doesn’t want to hurt your feelings. What a cutie.
“Hermione” you chuckled softly. She looked at you curiously.
“People do that all the time. You know, act like they like me only to get on good terms with my dad. It’s okay..”
“It’s not okay! That’s horrible. You’re adorable and I know I’d be more than happy if you liked me”
A blush began to grow on her cheeks as she looked shocked, that she revealed her crush herself.
You were shocked. Hermione Granger, the smartest person ever and smartest witch of her age and not to mention she’s absolutely beautiful and amazing, likes you?
“I think you might just be saying that. What, want to get my father to like you, Granger?” You chuckled. Of course, you were joking. Being cautious, too.
You really liked her and no one knew, of course. But you didn’t want to get hurt.
“N-no, I mean. I want your dad to like me, sure. But if he hates me, too that’s okay, I don’t really care. I really like you and if you and I were together and he didn’t like it. Well, he’d just have to deal with it! Because, I really like you” She blushed.
“Wow”
“What? I mean no disrespect to professor Snape, of course. I uh-”
“No it’s okay. What I mean, is no one’s ever cared that much about me before.. So thank you” You grinned, happily.
Hermione chuckled, a grin on her cute face. She’s so adorable.
“Don’t thank me. Thank the fact that you’re amazing, that’s why I like you”
You blushed.
But something caught your attention, Draco was going to do something. You could see it in his smug face. But what?
That’s when you realized.. He was looking at you, with a smirk. You rolled your eyes, his threats were nothing.
Hermione looked at you confused. Before you could react he had appeared behind you, and casted an incarcerous spell on you, the ropes getting tighter, you dropped your wand. Hermione got pissed..
“Draco what are you doing?” She raised her wand at him.
“Obliviate!” He yelled, pointing his wand at Hermione after he quickly used the petrificus totalus spell to freeze her. You hopped, with the ropes still tight around you, in front of her. You began to forget your memories, who you were, everything. But at least you saved Hermione..
“No!” You heard someone scream. You didn’t know who it was, but they seemed to care a lot about you.
“Professor Snape, we can put everything back to normal-”
“I don’t care! Mr. Malfoy, you are expelled!”
You then passed out..
“Y/n!” You heard someone yell, you quickly opened your eyes, confused and, the last thing you remembered was-
“Hermione!” You quickly looked around, very worried. Was she okay?
You felt someone hug you. It was your dad.
“Dad! What happened is Hermione okay?”
“Yes, she’s fine. I was so worried about you” He hugged you tighter. You let out a groan, feeling some pain.
“Sorry.” He was checking your temperate and asking you questions only you would know. Of course, you got all of them right.
“I’m okay” you reassured. He still didn’t let go of you as Hermione, Harry, and Ron came in, very worried.
“Professor Snape, um, Dumbledore wants to see you..”
He huffed and looked at you again, checking for bruises or anything. You gave him a look.
“Dad” you whined. He sighed as he pulled away from the hug.
“Alright.” he turned to Harry and Ron. He shook his head, then turned to Hermione.
“Miss Granger, please keep an eye on y/n. I don’t really trust these two..”
Hermione nodded.
“Of course. You can trust me”
He left but not before looking at you.
“All be back, don’t worry” you smiled.
He worried too much.
Hermione then hugged you.
“Oh my gosh are you okay?! Do you need anything?-”
“No, I’m okay, but thanks”
she then pinched your arm.
“Ow! Hermione why’d you do that?”
“That was stupid don’t ever do that again.” She sighed. “But thank you.” She smiled, still hugging you.
“No problem.” you blushed as you hugged her back.
“Did you see the look on Draco’s face? Priceless!” Ron laughed and Harry snickered.
You chuckled. “Yeah, my dad was pretty mad.” you felt a bit better.
“Oh, he was furious” Hermione smiled at you.
“Get away from my daughter, you’re going to wish you hadn’t done that, Malfoy” Ron said imitating my dad. It was pretty impressive.
We laughed, cracking up.
“Well, I’m glad you’re okay”
Harry and Ron then left, something about helping Hagrid. Hermione didn’t want to leave your side, even if she could.
She kept staring at you, completely in adoration. You adored her just as much, maybe even more..
“Hermione?”
“Hmm?” She asked as you gently rested your head on her shoulder, making her smile.
“So uh, you still like me right?”
“Of course” she chuckled. Her hand touching your’s, making you blush.
“Do you want to do on a date with me?”
“Um when I get better, I mean”
“Of course, but I have a lot of studying to do.. how about a study date?”
You blushed.
“Sure. I need to study too..” You chuckled happily.
“I can help you” she offered.
“I mean you’re the smartest person ever so, I don’t think it’d be a problem for-”
“So when’s the date?”
Oh my god, it was my dad. What do I say?
“I um, when- what date?” despite Hermione being the strongest person ever, afraid of nothing, she still shivered.
“You like each other, that’s obvious..” he smirked.
You felt embarrassed right now.
“Yeah, um-”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
He looked at Hermione.
“You can go, miss Granger.”
“I’m sorry, but I won’t. You told me to keep any eye on her, even if you didn’t, I like her very much, and I’d never want anything bad to happen to her” She stated, determined.
His lip curled into a smile, well more emotion than he usually shows towards anyone that’s not you. With you, he’s a very fun person. Hard to believe, I know.
“Good.” as he left, you turned to Hermione.
“I think he likes you” you smiled.
“Really? I didn’t think so” she whispered, with a nervous chuckle.
You grinned. “Yeah, that’s just how he is”
“You’re adorable” she said, teasing you as you blushed again.
“I know she is” Snape yelled. Of course he was secretly listening.
“Oh no”
“Don’t be embarrassed, that’s cute”
(sorry if this is bad lol)
Slytherin: Remember where your loyalties lie
Gryffindor: In bed with me *wiggles eyebrows at Hufflepuff*
Ravenclaw: *facepalms*
Hufflepuff: *turns bright red*
tbh the most unrealistic thing in harry potter is when mrs weasley in the first book asks “now what’s the platform number?”
like this woman has been going to that school for seven years and then dropped kids off on the same place for nearly ten like why on earth would she forget the platform number
I totally agree
Anyone in this fandom who tells someone to die or kill themselves based on what fictional character they like would get along splendidly with most of the Death Eaters, ironically the same characters you detest to the point of wishing suicide on someone. Like seriously, wtf is wrong with some of you people? Hiding behind a Tumblr handle like it makes you invincible when you’re really just cowards. Some of you don’t deserve to be potterheads.
I show full support!!
and the beautiful authors who give it to us. you are a treasure.
Talk to me about Slytherins
Slytherins who are ambitious, and yet lazy as hell. Slytherins who have so many ambitions that they wallow in despair while trying to choose one. Slytherins who get anxiety when they feel like they won’t be able to achieve their dreams. Slytherins who will cut a bitch if they try to interfere with their long term goals. Slytherins who, when given a task will go to the ends of he’ll to achieve it, but with no purpose will sit around doing nothing all day long. Slytherins who hide their social anxiety by being the snarkiest, most sarcastic person they can be…and yet being the softest most caring person with their best friend (slytherpuff for the win) (still don’t lose their snark tho)
Slytherins who support the underdog in a team because they know what it feels like to be the weak link, and goddamn if they let anyone else feel like that. Slytherins who get only four hours of sleep because they have so much to do so they can go ahead and achieve their dreams
Just…Slytherins, man
