an autobiography by mei changsu

[harrypottergays]

Okay, so a fic where Harry finds out that his animagus is a tiny little black kitten, and he’s all like, ‘shit son, this is my chance to stay out after curfew’ but then he’s out one night, and McGonagall finds him and immediately knows it’s him, and just picks him up by the scruff of his neck to deliver his naughty ass back to G Tower while Harry meows at her in indignation.

[srnileytrashbag]

I’m in tears right now, I can’t stop shaking:

Some racist hooligan assaulted a black couple who just came to Italy from Nigeria as war refugees. He killed the husband, Emmanuel Chidi Namdi , who was defending his wife, Chimiary, after that man started calling her racial slurs out of nowhere. He is dead, the hooligan killed him WITH A ROAD SIGN. He hit him again and again, in front of his wife.

This happened in Fermo, Italy, twenty minutes away from where I live. This has shocked me so much. Racism is a serious problem in Italy, fascism and intolerance are escalating, horrible politicians like Salvini (the Italian equivalent of Donald Trump) are encouraging racism and are actively trying to block the refugees from entering out country.

Please don’t let this go unnoticed: tumblr is pretty US-centric, but people need to know the names of all the victims of hate, from all over the world. Emmanuel needs to be remembered and mourned. Please, don’t let racism win. I’m still shocked, this happened so close to my hometown. Don’t let them win. Fight this horrible hate.

The main thing people forget about Harry: angst is normal at the age of 15

The main thing people forget about Hermione: she was ruthless and could be a little cruel at times

The main thing people forget about Ron: he was smart and a very good friend, contrary to what the movies may lead you to believe

[mydearthisbe]

Say what you will about how Harry Potter increases in complexity and darkness as it progresses but I think JKR sets the tone of the series pretty well when she has Dumbledore play ding-dong-ditch with a baby in the first chapter

A group of Slytherin students camping outside the common room because the password is something bigoted and they refuse to say it

[tavoriel]

a group of Slytherin students having a sleepover in the Hufflepuff dormitory because the Hufflepuffs found out

[robottko]

A group of ravenclaw students trying to magically change the doors password when the hufflepuffs tell them

[booksandfandomsandfeelsohmy]

a group of Gryffindors trying to forcibly remove the door when they finally find out

[storysongandstars]

“#im so into the idea of the ravenclaws being like #‘we tried every spell we could think of and we cant get it to change the password or let us in without it’ #and the gryffindors are just like #‘ALRIGHT EVERYONE STAND BACK WE’RE EITHER GONNA JINX THIS DOOR INTO OBLIVION OR BLOW IT THE FUCK UP WITH LITERAL EXPLOSIVES BUT WE ARE GETTI #*GETTING IN WITHOUT THAT PASSWORD ONE WAY OR ANOTHER'” (via: detectivejoan)

[hpimaginethat]

All while the Hufflepuffs provided the Gryffindors with the explosives (who are confused because these little puffballs have explosives? But also very impressed because these little puffballs HAVE EXPLOSIVES), along with cookies and words of encouragement for every house. And the Ravenclaws are munching cookies in the Puff common room while they work with the Slytherins to write a strongly worded letter to the head master. 

[dorky-pisces-fangirl-blog]

and all the while everyone is getting along. Is happy and there is no prejudice. It’s actually the opposite. And the Gryffindor’s finally getting the door down at two in the morning. But the Slytherin’s wanting to stay with the Puff’s. So they all have a Sleepover. And Professor’s walking into the Slytherin common room in the morning finding it deserted. Then looking in the other houses to find them all sleeping in the common rooms. All of them. (Alright next person :3) 

[queerstrawberryshortcake]

And then this becomes a regular thing, not just between Slytherin and Hufflepuff but the other houses get involved too, and each weekend it’s at a different house

[pointlesslexie]

And they invite professors and everyone having a blast+McGonagall sharing embarrassing stories for past eras

[hpimaginethat]

And after the trio graduates she goes to the sleepovers once a month and asks what story everyone wants to hear. She tells them the incredible tale of three Misfit Gryffindors, the brightest witch of her age, the king, and the boy who lived, who saved the entire wizarding world and defeated Voldemort. She has other stories but this one is everyone’s favorite so every mo the she sits in the chosen common room and everyone sits in a circle around her before she begins.

The room is absolutely silent as she starts the story, “ Mr and Mrs. Dursley of number 4 Privit Drive were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much…”

[r0se1111]

The room is in tears as she finishes, “All was well.”

things kyle ron did that make him completely irredeemable in my eyes:

was an active participant in and/or lead the knights of ren massacre at luke’s jedi academy, killing them all, most likely including children

keeps the ashses of enemies he’s killed as trophies

murdered lor san tekka without remorse after discovering that he didn’t have the information he needed

ordered the execution of the entire village on jakku, including unarmed civilians and children, without remorse

was complacent in the destruction of the hosnian system, resulting in the loss of countless lives

was given the chance for redemption by his father and actively chose to manipulate and murder him in order to get closer to the dark side

additional shit kyle ron did that might’ve been redeemable if not for the aforementioned shit but definitely isn’t now:

made an active choice to join snoke/the dark side/the first order in order to achieve the power he felt entitled to through his ancestry

completely and utterly destroyed everything his uncle had achieved and his grandfather had ultimately sacrificed himself for

feels the pull toward the light and actively chooses to follow the darkness

kidnapped and had poe physically tortured before torturing him mentally

paralyzed rey using the force, knocked her unconscious, abducted, and strapped her to a torture chair before torturing her mentally and emotionally

flung rey into a frickin tree like a ragdoll

hurt finn so badly he ended up in a coma

tried to kill rey and then tried to manipulate her into joining the dark side when she refused to die

is putting his mother through SO MUCH SHIT

in conclusion kyle ron does not want to be redeemed, i don’t want him to be redeemed, and he doesn’t deserve to be redeemed

[kalinara]

All of these are valid, terrible things but for me, this is the kicker:

“feels the pull toward the light and actively chooses to follow the darkness”

Because most of the shit Kylo’s done, Anakin did too.  Anakin was a monster for many years.  But I think that the key difference is that Anakin was so lost in rage and hate that he didn’t see a way out.  He’s like a man lost in a sandstorm (pun mostly unintended) who knows that what he’s doing is evil, but he doesn’t really know how to get back until his son finally reaches him.

Kylo isn’t Anakin.  He isn’t lost in rage or hate.  He knows there’s a way out, or he wouldn’t be so “conflicted” throughout the movie.  But he actively and repeatedly turns his back on that way out.  Not because he thinks it’s “too late for him” a.la Vader, but because he knows it isn’t too late.  And that’s where he stops being redeemable for me.

[resistancepilotfinn]

^^^ @ my last anon THIS is the way to say what i was trying to say

[rayfisherscuddlebuddy-deactivat]

This exactly because even though Kylo was groomed by Snoke he still has a very strong sense of right and wrong and choose wrong. You can see this through out the film especially when he kills Han. He feels like he doesn’t have the strength to do it. He cries when he does it. Han tells him Snoke is just using him and “he knows it” and the TFA says Kylo knows it’s true. But he STILL fucking kills Han! His pride and arrogance wouldn’t let him tell the truth. He values the power that comes from the dark side more than human life. Even if he did confess to all of his crimes in episode 8 or 9 he still actively chose to do those things. He’s not Snoke’s robot. Some people just need to let villains be villains.you can think villain is a interesting character without sanitizing their image.

Gentle reminder that the human eye is naturally drawn by noise and movement, so the next time you walk into a crowd or a bit late into a lecture or something like that, they’re not staring at you or judging; it’s just an instinctive reaction that has nothing to do with you doing anything wrong.
