This is so embarrassing.

I saw people talking about this in the morning. I literally spent all day assuming it was the Onion or something similar.

You're telling me this is *real*? 😬

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Oh God, this so fucking cringe.

[also, re: the length, long before Rowling became Blessed Saint Jo, Our Lady of TERFdom, she was still eliciting eye-rolls from just about everybody in the publishing industry for refusing to let her work be properly edited. Even outside the bonkers transphobia stuff, it's clear she has a massively inflated ego about her abilities as a writer and researcher, which explains why she failed so miserable when trying to expand her wizarding universe beyond the borders of the UK. A more sensible person—especially one with her financial means and connections—would have sought input from historical experts and cultural consultants. But Rowling didn't, because she believes herself to be the goose that laid the golden egg, incapable of coming up with anything less than absolute brilliance. So what if she read one (1) Wikipedia article on Cities in Asia, or New York in the 1920s? Anything her extra-special magical TERF brain coughs out is a bona fide literary gem and deserves to be heralded as genius, and if you suggest otherwise she'll block you, or sue you, or say you're persecuting her]

Hey there.

This is Robin. I don't know if anyone is still actively following and I also don't know if anyone remembers. But some years ago I always had the dream to start an own small business, creating little things from fabric. May it be items for households or bigger things like cosplay commissions and fandom bound clothes.

After preparing, trying to get my life together and so on... I finally did it. It would be great if you could follow and support my lgbtq+ owned business on instagram. I also have a small etsy store. And I'm always really happy about tips through ko-fi.

So if anyone reads this, please like and share and follow me on IG.

Remus and Lily being best friends is a dynamic that I will never get tired of

I miss this place

[ask-themaraudersmap]

Imagine...

…when James first saw baby Harry and he was so excited and oh - he has Lily’s eyes and “Look Lily! Look, he has your eyes!” And he’s so happy because he loves her eyes and he can’t wait to see if he also has her smile or just the beautiful freckles he so much fell in love with but then he’s dead and he’ll never find out.

[ask-themaraudersmap]

do you ever think about how the series of events that lead to Dumbledore’s death in HBP was literally set into motion by Oliver Wood’s passion for Quidditch

[books-n-cleverness]

okay but literally I can’t stop thinking about this -

it is of course possible that Draco would have gotten the Death Eaters into the school some other way if the Vanishing Cabinet hadn’t created the perfect opportunity, but it wasn’t looking likely.

so like, it’s reasonable enough to assume that Dumbledore’s death (at the hands of Snape specifically, obviously I know he was going to die soon enough from the curse, but the timing does make a difference so I’m still focused on this) occurred because of the Death Eaters getting into the school. the reason the Death Eaters were able to get into the school was because of the Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement, which Draco repaired.

the Vanishing Cabinet ended up in the Room of Requirement over the summer of 1996, presumably (reasoning for this is in the next paragraph), and Draco discovered it there sometime in his 6th year. but the only reason he had even known what it was, and what it could do, was because he had spoken with….

Graham Montague, a Slytherin who was in 7th year in 1995-1996 (when Harry & co were in 5th year). Montague was shoved into the Vanishing Cabinet in that year by Fred and George Weasley, because he was a part of the Inquisitorial Squad and was presumably about to take points from the Weasley twins for doing something disruptive. and we know that Montague got stuck in a limbo between the two connected cabinets, due to one of them being broken - he could hear things being discussed in Borgin & Burkes, which is how he was able to let Malfoy know that the other “end of the tunnel”, or basically the other cabinet, was in Borgin & Burkes (which, Draco would already have seen as a 12-year-old, in the summer before his 2nd year, when he visited the shop with his father - fun fact, Harry hid in that exact cabinet while Lucius Malfoy was transacting with Borgin).

Montague would never have had this experience at all if the cabinet hadn’t been broken in the first place. but in fact, we know exactly how, when, why, and by whom the cabinet was broken.

it was in the fall of 1992, when Nearly Headless Nick observed that Harry had gotten in trouble with Filch, and prompted Peeves to drop that very same cabinet from a large height in order to cause a distraction for Filch, allowing Harry to get out of trouble.

why was Harry in trouble in the first place? because he was “tracking mud” in the corridors.

why was he tracking mud in the corridors? because Oliver Wood had had him out on the Quidditch pitch all day even though it had been literally storming outside. so Harry came into the castle drenched and splattered with mud.

Dumbledore literally died because of how obsessed Oliver Wood was with winning the Quidditch Cup.

thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[books-n-cleverness]

sorry, one more thing - people keep reblogging this with tags that imply they think that this is like a “headcanon” or just “plausible” and while I get why you would think that, I need you to really understand how canonical this is because it’s Very canonical which is Ridiculous

to clarify:

the bits about the Vanishing Cabinet being the only real way he had to get the Death Eaters in, having heard about it from Montague and how that made him realize he could use them as a passage, etc - that was all clearly laid out in HBP, chapter 27 (The Lightning-Struck Tower).

Montague being shoved into the cabinet takes place in OOTP, chapter 28 (Snape’s Worst Memory).

Draco seeing the cabinet and Harry being in the cabinet is all in CoS, chapter 4 (At Flourish and Blotts).

and the entire situation with the Quidditch practice and the mud and Harry getting in trouble and Nick getting Peeves to drop the cabinet is in CoS, chapter 8 (The Deathday Party).

it’s the lined-up-dominoes meme, and it’s ridiculous. and it’s all on the page.

[adeptarcanist]

It’s better than that.

Voldemort died because Harry was the master of the Elder Wand that Voldemort was trying to use.

Why was Harry the master? Because he overpowered its previous master, Draco, and won its allegiance.

Why was Draco master of the Elder Wand? Because he disarmed Dumbledore in the precise sequence being discussed, which relied on the vanishing cabinet.

Harry defeated Voldemort because of Oliver Wood’s passion for quidditch.

[rms-idiot]

Technically, Draco lead to Dumbledores death twice. Both by getting the death eaters into the castle but also because if it weren’t for him stealing Neville’s rememberall, Harry wouldnt have ended up on the team at all, and consequentially, getting mud through the corridors

[books-n-cleverness]

this is exactly the kind of hyper specific meme that I am here for!!!!

Robin:

Ravenclaw

Ravenclaws shape the world around them, and create, in order to create a world that better suits themselves and their goals, rather than Slytherins who shape and create/recreate themselves to suit the world, meaning they are an external house, creating and impacting in the world around them rather than in themselves. Unlike Gryffindors, the other external house, Ravenclaws do not feel as much pressure to be seen in a sort of grand legacy or entirely shape the world around them. They give and seek knowledge and creation because, in a very basic sense, they feel like they need to. In a way I’ve said it “I could not write poetry for 30 years and that wouldn’t mean I’m not a poet. I am a poet. That does not change.” But Ravenclaws will get restless if they don’t create if they don’t learn. Their legacy doesn’t mean that the whole world will remember them forever. Its that they will create/make/do something that will matter to even one person enough that they will be remembered. A lot of Ravenclaws feel tied to their Ravenclaw identity because they don’t quite know who they’d be if they weren’t the ‘intelligent one’ if you will. But Ravenclaws sometimes forget that they create beauty every day, learn things new and small every day, without even meaning to. Ravenclaws believe identity is created/forged/remade constantly as information is gathered, and often try to seem neutral, scared of sharing an opinion unless they’ve thought it through completely and are certain they should stand by it. Ravenclaws are often searching, looking for something bigger than them, as almost to prove they are small in comparison. Sometimes the best thing a Ravenclaw can do is realize that all those wonderful books and poems and pieces of art that make you dream of a fantasy world were made in this world. This place, so full of love, that gave them to you in order for you to love it back. A lot of ‘gifted kids’ put themselves in Ravenclaw, without realizing that it was the rest of the world that put them in Ravenclaw, and not something that they chose. If that’s the case, maybe now is the time to ask yourself who is it you want to be? The self is a construct loves, and a uquiz doesn’t define you. You define you. You’re so good at creating Ravenclaw friends. Create you. You’re already magnificent. You’re already worth it. Now its time to look at yourself and give some love to that self, to ask it what it wants to be. You are, more than anything else, your greatest masterpiece

This is so accurate!

The crying doll

Myrtle Warren / Moaning Myrtle played by Emily Grace ( @egdramaqueen ) Anne Lise the Doll played by Becci ( @ask-themaraudersmap )

There were many times when Myrtle felt all alone. There were times when she cried alone. But there was something she could hold onto; her little doll Anne Lise 

But soon she realized that a doll wasn’t enough. She needed more. She needed calming words and comfort.

Myrtle discovered a spell which would let her beloved doll talk. One day… she decided to try.

Myrtle: Anne Lise?

Soft and perfect is her face, of age and suffer there is no trace.

Her eyes black and pink her mouth, that’s moving so softly with witful couth.

Even in late night long after sunset, her pretty smile she’d never forget.

Whatever you tell her, whatever you do, she’s listening to the harm that was done to you.

But one day something happened that nobody expected…

Long after you’re gone she still searches, in pain, trying to find you again and again.

Cruel this world has always been, but a crying doll nobody ever has seen.

FIN.
