HE WAS BORN WITH THE FUCKING OPPORTUNITY AND HE TOOK IT
We always talk about the relationship between Lily and the Marauders but how about jAMES AND LILY’S FRIENDS???? LIKE SURELY THE MY-FAMILY-IS-ALSO-YOUR-FAMILY-NOW DYNAMIC IN JAMES AND LILY’S RELATIONSHIP WAS NOT ONE SIDED
While the Marauders basically accepted Lily with open arms even before she and James started dating, I feel like Lily’s friends are trickier to please because they know how much of a bully James was and they have every right to be suspicious of him even as he’s growing out of it. However, they, like the Marauders, are also dramatic nerds. The second they find out that James and Lily are friends now, they manage to turn the corner of the Common Room into an interrogation room. “Guys??? Do ANY of you want to go down to dinner with me???” “NOT NOW LILY LARGER THINGS ARE AT STAKE - Potter, answer Dorcas’ question” By the end of their first term in sixth year, though, they’re all super tight.
The day everyone is leaving for the holidays, Lily finds James at the Hogsmeade station but before she can ask him why he’s there when he’s staying for the holidays, she sees him helping Marlene with all her luggage as they talk animatedly about something ( “what do you MEAN Dorcas is spending the holidays at your place” “it’s nothing, james oh my god.” “you are BLUSHING U NERD. write to me okay don’t leave anything out or i will hex you”)
Potions class where they’re dealing with a lot more fire than usual and the whole room feels like a boiling pot but Sirius is okay because he knows James always carries an extra hair tie for him so he just grabs James’ wrist. “Sirius what” “…hair tie?” “oh, sorry, i lent it to Alice” “you WHAT” “she’s had a really bad day today okay you don’t understand”
During the Easter holidays, James invites everyone over at his place to just hang out. remus, sirius, peter are so used to the place that they just kiss Mrs. potter on the cheek and go up to james’ room while he introduces the girls. mrs. potter taking one look at the girls and going all “okay so which one of you is responsible for my lack of sleep because my son could not shut up about - what was it, again, james? oh right - ‘her dazzling eyes and lips that look like they taste like firewhiskey and candy and hope’?” and everyone is laughing except for a very red james potter and a smirking lily
James is very much over his immature, hexing-people-for-fun days, but the moment some boys call Marlene a homophobic slur, he sends about 8 different hexes and jinxes their way. He ends up with a week long detention, polishing trophies. That week, Marlene carries around a very dramatic “Free James Potter” picket sign to all her classes to annoy the teachers. (“Pete, why didn’t I ever think of that” “Because you’re always the one in detention with him, Sirius”)
One night when the girls are just lazing around the fireplace, James bursts in like he had a huge crisis “okay i know you lot have been feeling left out because we have a cool name and you don’t-” “not really” “-and i apologize bc i know you want in in the whole thing with your own nicknames and everything-” “actually no” “ it’s always been the four of us, me moony padfoot and wormtail… HOWEVER YOU CAN BE LIKE THE SECOND WAVE OF MARAUDERS” “….oh god….no…don’t” “THE MORE-AUDERS” “JAMES NO”
The day of Frank and Alice’s first date, James goes to him beforehand like “Hi Frank Longbottom, right?” “James you’ve known me for years” “What exactly are your intentions with Alice?” “Are you joking” and Alice passes by and Frank is just signalling for help and Alice just smirks and crosses her arms like “you didn’t answer James’ question”
James french braiding Marlene’s hair before Quidditch practice because it always gets in the way and using magic to make her ponytails hold always ends up messy. “That should be able to keep your hair neat, I can twist it into a bun later if you need” and Marlene is just looking in the mirror in awe because it’s so neat and well made “how are you so good with hair holy shit” “are you forgetting who my best friend is”
the boy who gave no fucks

hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!
No no no! Jewish LGBTQ kinderlach! Go to Keshet!
hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.
If you reblogged the first post from me please reblog this amendment so the Jewish peeps can access this resource too!
Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!
Muslim LGBTQ kids, you can go to iamnotharaam! It’s run by a mod squad of different genders and orientations, and they take submissions from everybody!
–BB
MAY ANYONE WHO REBLOGS THIS BE ELEVATED TO THE EQUIVALENT OF SAINTHOOD IN THEIR RELIGION BLESS ALL OF YOU OH MY GOD.
It's simple.
• Women who do sex work deserve respect
• Women who do not like to have sex deserve respect
• Women with mental illness deserve respect
• Women who were not assigned female at birth deserve respect
• Women of all races, ethnicities, and religions deserve respect
I wanna open a battered men's shelter
There are millions of women’s shelters and that’s great. But what about the men in abusive relationships? The ones that stay with their girlfriend or wife because of the child or they’re just emotionally destroyed and dependent? It happens. Not as often, but it does, and there are basically no resources for them. Society laughs at the battered man. There’s no sympathy or respect for him. Because he’s a man, everyone says to grow a pair and move on. But there are men who truly can’t get away from their abusers, notice I said abusers and not “female abusers”. We need to kill this notion that abusers are always men. Those men will move away from their homes, attempt to start new lives and include their children in many cases, and run into the same problems battered women do with being stalked and threatened and having every effort thwarted. Only it could get worse, because he’s a MAN, and a woman can always cry abuse without the court even raising an eyebrow at the backstory. And these men are sent to jail because their abuser was able to use her fragile appearance as a weapon. Much like women’s abusers are the kindest, gentlest monsters at the house party.
So, I want to open a shelter for them. But I won’t call it that, I don’t want to emasculate them further. I’d call it something else. “The Friend’s House” maybe. And the address would be a secret. Once a man comes there, he can bring his child/children, and we set them up in an apartment building that’s contracted with our own personal security force that maintains who comes in and out of the building with the list and photos of each resident’s abusers. If they have black eyes, busted lips, bruises, I wanna give them some kind of makeup tips just to show them how to hide them and look normal again until they heal. I wanna have a set up with the city where once a man checks into this house, their job will relocate them to another site if possible, so their abuser can’t come to their job because they won’t know where they work, or the city will give them a new job with the same pay and benefits to help them remain financially stable. And if they don’t have a job, they can work for me, helping other men in their position after they’ve settled in or we set them up with companies that know about the house and actively want to aid the men with occupations once they check-in. We also will offer free legal advice from 1-2 lawyers that are on site bi-weekly on a rotational basis for men that want to pursue full custody or pressing charges or getting a restraining order against their abuser. I just want to do this so bad and I’m not even a social worker, it’s not my thing, but I really wanna start “The Friend’s House”.

she says i am not a feminist i do not believe in feminism she spills out the words “i have the same rights and opportunities as the male counterpart in the united states" like it’s a sunday morning and she just had breakfast in bed while in other parts of the world women have organizations set up to fight for women to go to school for women to take up industrial jobs for women to take up jobs and protect their rights she says stop playing victim and seize opportunities but not every land is the land of freedom not every woman has opportunities knocking on their door in so many parts of the world a 9 year old girl sits in her room and awaits her husband’s knock she then talks about how women want same rights as men when its convenient like as if women in the world want to cherry pick having equal job rights non discriminating pay laws and lesser women tax she says convenience and my blood boils a little she continues you can get a job no man is stopping you but society says marry a man not become a doctor society says you’re 35 ambitious but no future partner marrying is not only one stereotype but a man’s ego is so fragile women are accustomed to stay home after marriage because leaving for a job means forsaking "home” values and you’re telling me nothing is stopping them but this is only one variable imagine the number of women unable to even get education because they’re females because that’s what society has imposed the gender to be but you then proceed to talk about slut shaming about how a woman who sleeps with 60 man is as much of a slut as is a man who sleeps with 60 women but girls out here get slut shamed even when their throats scream no even when they’re not sleeping around they become sexual objects like sex is not their right like a body is not of their owning the problem isn’t who you see as a slut the problem is women are being objectified as nothing but sexual object that’s the problem i don’t understand why you would want to downplay both genders to get equality because if that what equality is to you i understand why you’re not a feminist she then goes again to say america hires on job qualifications and i am happy you’re not one of many women who sit through degrading interview get questioned cause they’re woman and still get asked whether they opt for the job they still work cause food needs to be on the table despite their value being burnt in their office cubicles and you say okay but men can get falsely accused of rape as well, that’s 5% talk about the 95% you don’t see to care about you don’t seem to care about your fellow sisters yet so i see how you’re not a feminist when you overplay caring for one gender and not both because feminism is about both genders but if i have to talk about men to get your attention for feminism then it’s clearly not the point. you say all of this. cause you’re american. you’re white. you walk the streets cause your privilege protects you. and this comes from an indian asian girl. i have a roof over my head. i have education. and i am privileged as well. but just because the sun shines where i live. doesn’t mean it shines everywhere. you have everything at your feet so fellow women ancestors laugh because you stand on their bones and talk about rights you don’t even know your other female friends have it hard so how are you gonna acknowledge women of color struggles that continue and the bones that STILL pile up you my friend are gifted in so many ways ignorance is a bliss i guess in the saddest of ways
k, slam poetry in response to this tweet https://twitter.com/Lala_Sorrentino/status/615928978562531328 (via dullsuns)
i was 14 and i was walking through a mall by myself at 12am after my shift at coldstone creamery lol and a bunch of men started whistling and meowing and getting really close to me and they kept asking me questions and i kept not answering until i didn’t know what else to do so i said “i’m only 14” and almost in unison they said “we don’t care” i was so fucking scared i didn’t know what to do and they kept talking about how i looked and how my body looked and what they would do i was on the verge of tears i was all alone in a huge mall i knew i couldn’t outrun them all i felt totally hopeless until a maintenance worker came up to all of us with a huge industrial broom in her hand, i thought she was going to yell at all of us for being in the mall after hours bc she probably thought we were all friends but instead she cursed all of them out in spanish, threatened to press a panic button on her belt and then proceeded to walk me to the basement garage and waited with me until my mom got there to pick me up she had a death grip on her cart the whole time and a face of steel she looked so strong and i just kept saying thank you and she kept saying not to thank her because she had to stop them.
that was the moment i realized women were the most important beings on this planet and we have to protect each other bc nobody else is going to, she didn’t even know me, we couldn’t even communicate that well because of the language barrier, she could have lost her job for waiting with me in the parking lot but she looked out for me when she didn’t have to, she had nothing to gain from it, i’m 21 now and i tell everyone this story even though it happened 7 years ago, what she did that night helped me form and shape lot of my beliefs early on.
i was at a grocery store really late one night and some old guy kind of eyed me as i walked out of the store next to this other lady. She and I made eye contact and i knew she was scared too. we loaded up our groceries into our cars as fast as possible and I had way more bags than her so she got done faster than me. I panicked because i was sure she was going to leave so i just hurried faster, shaking a little, and then i noticed she sat in her car, watching me and making sure nobody came near. She waited not until all my groceries were loaded, or until my cart was put away, or until I got into my car. No, she didn’t drive away until I drove away.
And that was the moment that I realized how much women need other women. That we can’t win this war without each other and we have to be looking out for each other, every second.
my last year in new york city, i got off the subway around 9 or 10p.m. i only lived about 5 blocks from the f train, but i hadn’t gotten more than two before a woman’s hand suddenly touched my arm.
“that guy behind us is following you,” she said. “he was watching you leave the train car and followed you up.”
i hadn’t noticed him, or at least not noticed him following me. when we stopped outside a grocery store, he stopped half a block back and loitered. the woman linked her arm with mine and walked me several blocks out of her way to my front door and made sure i got inside safely.
another time, nocigar and i were walking home and at a stoplight a stranger grabbed my arm when i wouldn’t respond to him and tried to physically drag me over to him. she—who is, by the way, not a very physically imposing girl—ripped his hand off my arm and snarled, “don’t fucking touch her.”
protect your friends. protect strangers. there are good men in the world, but don’t wait for them to do something if you can do it yourself.
I was at a club once and my friend left with her boyfriend so I finished my drink and was heading out to the parking lot when three girls came up to me and basically surrounded me.
“Those guys behind us were talking about following you. We can walk with you.”
I have MMA training but have never in my life had been offered the protection and sanction of my own gender. This is so important.
GIRL CODE. FUCKIN’ GIRL CODE. LEAVE NO GIRL BEHIND. EVER.
to give you an idea on not only how hot it is in the uk, but also just how heat-intolerant we are as a country, i went upstairs to close my blind and stop the sun coming into my room and i started to get dizzy after a few minutes. i didnt sleep last night because of the weather.
is not just that its hot, its that we as a country are built for rain and sleet and hail and howling gales. we dont need AC because its pointless and a waste of space and money if the average temperature is barely above 20 degrees. we live in boxes of insulation. our foods are heavy and hearty and warm for getting us through the cold. we live in almost constant cloud cover so we’re not used to the sun.
my mother and i are constantly panicking over my 9 week old baby sister because she could very easily overheat and die.
heatwaves in the uk are not a fucking joke.
This morning I got out of bed, stood up, and it was so hot I got dizzy, my vision went black and I fell over.
All of our windows are open, there is nothing for us to do. I am lying naked on the bathroom floor because that is the coolest place.
As someone who has lived with the unbearable combo of humidity + no AC (Louisiana after a hurricane is fucking awful) cold wash cloths are your best friend. Put some in the fridge and switch them out putting them on the back of your neck, wear as few clothes as possible, NEVER take a hot shower, avoid stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, and any medication that is not necessary because they can not only raise your temp but most of them make you pee more and will dehydrate you faster. Any type of electric fan, literally anything that gets the air moving is your friend, make sure babies get a cool wipe down often and left in only diapers as often as possible, also pedialite or a knock off of it (it’s like Gatorade for babies without all the sugars and helps keep them hydrated when they’re sick). Fuck capsaicin just don’t touch it I know curry is delicious but DO NOT FUCK WITH SPICY FOODS your systems probably aren’t adapted to handle that plus the weather. Keep your pets well watered and calm. Seriously guys any questions feel free to ask because Louisiana has humidity equivalent to a rainforest in our driest months and I will gladly help keep y'all safe.
Also don’t forget that you can put plastic water bottles in the freezer overnight! Fill them about 4/5 to the top (ice takes up more space than water, so if you overfill the bottle will burst) and when you take them out the next morning you will have a bottle-sized ice cube which will melt easily in the heat. The water inside will stay cold because 1. hello, bottle-sized ice cube and 2. it’s literally only just melted. This method works way better than regular sized ice cubes because the water starts out cold.
That said, guys, don’t drink only water. It’s true that caffeine etc will dehydrate you faster, but when you sweat you lose salts and minerals that your body needs and if you only drink water then you won’t replace them. Drink mostly water but be sure to have at least 500ml of something else - orange juice and Sprite work well. And enjoy some guilt-free crisps. Right now, you need that extra salt.
Regarding sleeping, I know a lot of people can’t sleep with wet hair but if you are one of the lucky few, and especially if your hair is long or thick enough that it takes a while to dry even in this weather, try it. It’ll keep your body temperature down, and it beats sleeping in wet pyjamas.
Get a metal bucket or bowl, fill it with ice & set it in front of a fan = cheap A/C.
Regarding babies, playtime in a cool bathtub works great & they love splashing around. :) Make sure wherever they sleep is kept DARK DARK DARK & have a fan blowing NEAR but not ON them. You can totally use the bucket trick in their room, too.
Get as low as you can, too. Sleep on the floor of the lowest level of your house. That’s where it will be coolest. Heat rises, so don’t even try to go upstairs. :P
If you have a basement, move everyone there until the heat wave breaks.
We have window unit A/Cs in America (Idk about overseas) & a small one can be as cheap as $50. Even if it only cools one room, you can keep that room closed off & use it as a cooling station/makeshift bedroom.

I’m going to keep saying this on every post because it’s not being mentioned: IF YOU HAVE PETS MAKE SURE THEY HAVE PLENTY OF SHADE AND WATER. Make sure their water is out of the sun. IF you can bring them inside. If not shade and water. You can also directly add salt to your water (like a pinch) and do that to like every third cup of water you drink and that will help keep your salt up. If you have a spray water bottle that will help too. Also not only washcloths but bandannas can be wet and kept cold (or frozen). Put them where your skin is the thinnest (back of neck, wrists, ankles, etc) and it will help keep you cool. If you have to wear a hat for some reason, soak the hat in water first (especially if you’re outside with it). If you can not only soak in water but put in fridge to keep it cool before you have to wear it. If you start feeling dizzy, SIT DOWN and drink water. I don’t know about UK aquariums but I know here in So Cal (where we are a hot and dry desert) our aquariums though slightly pricey are moderately cool because the water creatures need to not be boiling. So that’s an idea. Also, so much yes to the bucket of ice in front of a fan. I do that occasionally in my bedroom (because it’s aluminium and isn’t able to be hooked up to my house’s a/c). If you don’t like being naked (which is honestly the best thing for you when it gets really hot to keep cool) wear the minimum amount of clothes possible and the lightest clothes possible. And I know some of you with pets want to cuddle them. Your pet’s body temperature runs hotter than yours. I’d very much advise NOT cuddling them to keep cool. Blackout curtains (if you can find them) work wonders at keeping places a little cooler. Or aluminium foil on your windows to help reflect the sunlight away from your windows. The frozen water bottle thing? You can do that for your pets too as something they can lick to help cool off. Or you can put ice cubes/chips into a bowl for them to either eat or lick and wait to melt so they can drink the leftover water. Good luck to UK people and please stay cool.
Yeah clearly someone could just bust into a school and throw like 200 daggers in every direction in the span of ten seconds, who even needs assault rifles with all these fucking epic level dagger masters running around at the speed of sound, it’s a regular fucking knife hell out there
*speaks into tape recorder* new moneymaking idea: knife rifles. knifles.
It just doesn’t sound like a coincidence that “Moony” and “Paddy” are so similar to “Mommy” and “Daddy”. Wolfstar raising Harry is literally a part of my soul and I’m trash.
Preschool Teacher: oh, Harry, that’s lovely, and who are you coloring this picture for?
Harry: *coloring diligently* I’m making it for my Moony and Paddy.
Teacher: hahaha, do you mean your MOMMY and DADDY???
Harry: *sass glare* Moony. And. Paddy.

does anyone have like a default obsession
like your mind switches through these current obsessions and once the hype kind of dies down, there’s always this one fandom that it switches back to when there’s nothing else new and it’s like always there without fail
THIS IS THE BEST COMMERCIAL EVER
I’ve reblogged this so many times because I truly think every parent should involve themselves with what their child enjoys.
Not to mention this is an act of solidarity. He’s saying “even if the entire world is against you, I’m on your side.” Which I think is important for a kid to know. He’s refusing to be a bully to his child, even if he doesn’t understand.
I work at Hot Topic and we had a white suburban dad in who was buying matching heavy metal/screamo band shirts for him and his teenage daughter and said “To be honest, I think this stuff sounds like garbage, but she likes it so we listen to it together and we’re going to the concert for Christmas.” And it was just really heartwarming to see him so involved in his child’s life and validating her interests.
Reblog this if you think a trans person is their identified gender even without surgeries
I need to prove a point to my stepdad. This is absolute bullshit.
So if you think a trans man can be a man without a penis or a trans woman can be a woman without a vagina, please reblogged.
