Brace yourselves…

I just came up with a theory.

A while ago, someone came up with the theory that Dumbledore had a horcrux - Fawkes. The SuperCarlinBrothers talked about this theory before being bluntly shot down by J.K. Rowling.

But the joke’s on you, Jo. I was already torn apart by you when you said that all disabilities in your world would be “fixed” or “overridden.” You can’t hurt me anymore! Haha! I’m as immortal as Harry!

“Wait, as immortal as Harry?”

What do I mean?

Well, I’ll tell you!

I think that the original theory was onto something. I think that Fawkes was a horcrux. But I don’t think he was Dumbledore’s horcrux. No, no…

I think that Fawkes was Harry’s horcrux.

Now, before I begin, note that this is just a theory and that it’s midnight, I’m tired, and there’s a good chance that I might not get everything right. But I’m going to try. I await your many many many messages in my inbox to explain why certain things I bring up can or cannot work.

First of all, let’s get the shakiest part of this theory out of the way. The prophecy. The prophecy has always confused me but I’m pretty sure it can still fit into this theory. I’m just not exactly sure how. Again, I’m tired. So let’s just assume that the prophecy fits perfectly.

And here we go…

To repeat: I think that Fawkes was Harry’s horcrux.

A horcrux, of course, being an object in which a person stores a minuscule piece of their soul which keeps them alive.

And I believe that Harry has unknowingly stored a piece of his soul in Fawkes.

And I know what you’re thinking.

“Ah, marauders4evr, you truly are tired. Don’t you know that you have to kill someone in order to create a horcrux?”

I do know that.

“Little tiny innocent Harry Potter is a pure cinnamon roll too good for this world. Surely he has never-”

Ahahahahahahaha.

Remember that time little tiny innocent Harry Potter stabbed a gigantic snake?

I do!

And I think that after he does this, a little piece of his soul jumped ship, merging with Fawkes’ soul. After all, Fawkes had landed on his arm in order to cry Harry back to life.

“No, wait, no. J.K. Rowling said it herself - in order to create a horcrux, you have to perform a ritual so disgusting that her editor nearly vomited when hearing about it.”

Clearly her editor has never read fanfiction but I digress.

It is true that usually some big dark ritual is performed in order to create a horcrux.

Except for one occasion.

It’s widely accepted that the reason why Harry became a horcrux is because Voldemort’s soul was so splintered (from the amount of horcruxes that he created) that a piece of it just broke off and went into this child.

“So, wait, Harry’s soul was splintered?”

Well it certainly wasn’t stable. You’ve got two souls that have been suddenly fused together faster than Ruby and Sapphire. And we know that Harry’s soul has always been unstable. That’s why the Dementors affected him more. That’s why he kept having weird dreams wherein he saw into Voldemort’s mind. That’s why his scar hurt whenever Voldemort was nearby or angry or existing or…you know that part was never clear. But the point is that we know that Harry’s soul is corrupted. So much so that I think it’s safe to say that it’s splintered, splintered enough that after murdering a snake in cold-blood, a part of it flies off and attaches to Fawkes.

“Okay, marauders4evr, take it easy. If Harry’s soul was so splintered that a piece of it could break off after he murdered someone without the need for the dark ritual, then why wasn’t a horcrux created when he burned Quirrell to death hmmm?”

Okay first of all…why doesn’t anyone ever talk about the fact that Harry straight up killed his professor? I mean it was in self-defense but still…you think anyone would talk about that but they don’t, not in canon or in the fandom. But I digress.

Who’s to say that Harry didn’t accidentally create a horcrux after killing Quirrell?

“Okay, now you’re full of it.”

Probably but hear me out.

What if a little tiny piece of Harry’s splintered soul did break off and go into an object in the room? Maybe an object he was holding like…

…oh snap.

Yep. If you want, you could also argue that the Philosopher’s Stone was briefly a horcrux. I say briefly because Albus Dumbledore states outright that Nicolas and Perenelle destroyed it. (Note: Not the Nicolas and Perenelle from my books, although wouldn’t that be an interesting twist?)

So the Philosopher’s Stone is gone. Kaput. Which means so is that little tiny piece of Harry’s soul. Which stinks. But it’s not really relevant to this theory, it just provides a safety net for lingering questions.

But I digress…

I think that Fawkes is Harry’s horcrux. Which explains why Harry seems to be drawn to him so many times in future books. The others seem comforted by his songs but Harry has always had a genuine connection with him which isn’t really explained. What if this is that connection? Two souls reaching out to one another, causing a subconscious connection?

“Okay so Fawkes is Harry’s horcrux. What does that mean?”

That means that if Harry were to say, walk into the Forbidden Forest to stare Voldemort straight in the eye and accept his fate…

He would come back.

Because really, it’s never explained how Harry comes back. There have been a few feeble guesses. This is mine.

The reason why Harry came back is because he couldn’t die because a piece of his soul was in Fawkes.

As long as Fawkes is alive, Harry cannot ever truly die.

“Wait a minute…Fawkes is always alive.”

And now you see the best part of the theory!

No matter how much Fawkes dies, he always comes back. Fascinating creatures, phoenixes.

Fawkes can never die. Which means, if you believe in this theory, that neither can Harry.

Which means that Harry can never die.

Which means that Harry Potter will always be The Boy Who Lived.

And really, what better way to symbolize his eternal life than a phoenix? It’s literally the representation of Harry - someone who ‘dies’ multiple times but always comes back. Harry and Fawkes. The Ones Who Lived.

I am 107% here for this theory. It’s fascinating and I can see how this could be canon.

white girls are having a crisis, y’all.

hexingkyriachy-deactivated20200

I’m so embarrassed oh my god why

gamegrrl

okay but like. girls being made fun of for liking things that are either marketed toward them or popular (or both) is REALLY prevalent?? and like?? sexist?? like blatantly sexist??? and if you actually read the article its like?? talking about destroying the idea that a girl is “less than” just bc she likes popular stuff? like man that’s important please stop

queenhippolyta

The bolded excerpt from the article captures it really well.

“Liking something popular doesn’t make you lame. Discounting someone for having some of those same interests does.”

And this is something that happens pretty exclusively to women. The article even points it out. When men enjoy things that are popular among men, no one comments on in, certainly not in a negative way. No one laughs at men for liking CrossFit, or beer, or watching football. It’s okay for men to like things that lots of men like because mens’ interests are good and valuable from a societal perspective. Because men are good and valuable. But when women like things, those things become the subject of shitty, sexist jokes that further the belittlement of the interests of women and women in general.

This is just another way for men to shit on women and to further brainwash women and girls with internalized misogyny. This becomes another case of “I’m not like other girls.”

“Oh she likes pumpkin spice lattes and Sex in the City? That’s so gross and lame. I like Guinness and WWE. I’m just not like other girls.”

As though being like others girls is so bad. But thanks to the idea that liking what other girls like makes you a “basic bitch” and thus lame and to be laughed at, another generation of girls is growing up thinking that women and the things they enjoy are detestable and to be laughed at while the interests of men are somehow superior and preferable. That girls doing things that make them happy is some sort of sad joke.

And that’s complete bullshit.

berseker

And the first comments make me wonder when exactly tumblr decided that it’s ok to make fun of white girls for everything…

emilysidhe

Tumblr loves the phrase “white girls” because it lets them indulge their apparently overwhelming desire to shit on girls for liking girly things while pretending they are actually talking about whiteness and are therefore free of internalized misogyny (and free to also shit on girls who say that they are “not like other girls” because they don’t like the completely innocuous things that tumblr just said girls are terrible for liking.)

You could write a very detailed sociology paper on all the ways that women on tumblr have found to shit on other girls while pretending they are actually doing something else. See also, the exorbitant hate leveled at celebrities who are popular with teenage girls for relatively minor things that is secretly more about getting to imply that the young female fans are terrible for liking this person than anything to do with the celebrity. (Or show, movie, book, whatever…)

goinglightsandsirens

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THING RIGHT NOW.

“WHITE GIRLS” DOESN’T NEGATE THE FACT THAT YOU’RE STILL JUST TALKING SHIT ABOUT WOMEN

See things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don’t fret and worry about them. Don’t think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession

dumbledore for rio 2016

thearcherballet

i’m sorry i’m reblogging again, but like where did dumbledore learn to swim like that? are we to assume that dumbledore lowkey swims in the lake at Hogwarts and outswims the Giant Squid or something? is that why he’s on speaking terms with the merpeople living in the lake? so they can let him practice his Michael Phelps-like perfect breaststroke? if so, there must be groups of students that secretly watch him, bc teens are weird. these are questions that will keep me up tonight, kayla.

thearcherballet

are we to assume that dumbledore has a ripped swimmer’s bod under that fab clothing? dumbledore disguised as a hogwarts student: i heard that dumbledore has an 8 pack. that dumbledore was shredded.

perhapsarat

Do you think Dumbledore was almost placed in Slytherin, just like Harry?

From an early age, the normal path (go to college, get a job, retire at 65) never made sense to me. We need to end that ridiculous ‘norm.’

did voldemort eat? like did he enjoy some scrambled eggs? did he order wormtail to make him a ham sandwich once in awhile? did he pee? I need to know the biology of a horcrux-body alright

cywscross

I had a thought: Neville’s greatest fear was Snape. And for ten months of every year for seven years, he went back and faced that fear over and over and over again. It would be like tossing Ron into a nest of spiders every day. Or pitching Harry against a Dementor every day. Neville went back for Potions every time, never skipped out, never ran away. Kid was braver than anyone ever noticed from the very beginning, even before he started standing up for himself.

Such a Slytherin thing tbh

For those of you guys who have seen both Friends and The X-Files

Do you remember Phoebe’s brother, Frank Jr? He a) was in love with his high school teacher b) liked to melt stuff.

Played by the same actor, there was this guy in the X-Files (season 3, episode 3, “DPO”) who a) was in love with his high school teacher b) literally melted several people to their deaths.

???

saferincages

the 90s aesthetic of The X-Files is so comforting to me. VHS tapes, clunky phones, that modem sound we found so horrid then, adorable glasses that are too big for one’s face reflecting the curved surfaces and rectangular flashing cursors of boxy computer screens, Scully’s beautiful puffy coat. even dusty, shadowed rooms lit by flashlight beams, like campfire stories remembered in the dark, somehow seem nostalgic. in these moments, I can pretend I’m young again, wide-eyed enough to still believe the truth is out there, and I’m alive.

Kraków, pałac Wielopolskich

fot. Marcin Klag

Rozległe zabudowania pomiędzy ul. Poselską, klasztorem oo. Franciszkanów oraz placem Wszystkich Świętych, nazywane pałacem Wielopolskich, są od półtora wieku siedzibą władz Miasta Krakowa.

Pierwszy pałac w tym miejscu wzniósł hetman Jan Tarnowski w 1. poł. XVI w. Była to okazała, renesansowa siedziba miejska, której część murów zachowała się do dzisiaj we wschodnim skrzydle budynku. W 1561 r. pałac przeszedł w ręce Ostrogskich, a później Zamoyskich. Od poł. XVII do poł. XIX w. właścicielami budynku była rodzina Wielopolskich. Dokonali oni przebudowy, z której pozostała reprezentacyjna sień, tunelowa klatka schodowa oraz sklepienia i kamienne portale na parterze budynku.

Podczas wielkiego pożaru Krakowa w 1850 r. pałac spłonął i został przez Wielopolskich sprzedany. Kolejni właściciele przeprowadzili prace remontowe i budowlane, w trakcie których m.in. przekształcono dawną elewację tylną w fasadę, gdyż wytyczono przed nią nowy plac po zburzonym, średniowiecznym kościele pw. Wszystkich Świętych. W 1864 r. miasto zakupiło budynek i przeprowadziło jego gruntowny remont. Prace prowadzone były przez budowniczego Pawła Barańskiego, a wnętrza i ich wyposażenie zaprojektował Filip Pokutyński. Reprezentacyjne wejście umieszczono od strony pl. Wszystkich Świętych, na parterze zlokalizowano biura magistratu i gabinety prezydenckie, a salę balową na drugim piętrze przekształcono w salę posiedzeń Rady Miasta.

Już pod koniec XIX w. zabudowania magistratu stały się zbyt ciasne i podjęto decyzję o jego rozbudowie. Zakupiono sąsiadujący z pałacem teren i wyburzono część zabudowań przy ul. Poselskiej. Na tym miejscu w latach 1906-1913 architekt Jan Rzymkowski zaprojektował i wzniósł najpierw skrzydło zachodnie, a później południowe i wschodnie magistratu. Eklektyczne i malownicze budynki wzbogacił architekt „cytatami” z historycznej zabudowy Krakowa. Wewnątrz zaprojektował reprezentacyjny, dwukondygnacyjny hall nakryty pseudokopułą z ażurowych, złoconych liści lauru.

Po pożarze w 1926 r. sala posiedzeń otrzymała nowy wystrój w stylu zmodernizowanego klasycyzmu. Jego głównym elementem jest fryz podstropowy autorstwa Jana Bukowskiego z portretami prezydentów Krakowa oraz łacińskimi nazwami cnót obywatelskich.

Wielopolski Family Palace

in Kraków

The spacious complex of buildings stretching between Poselska Street, the Franciscan monastery, and plac Wszystkich Świętych – All Saints’ Square – known as the Wielopolski palace, has served as the seat of Kraków’s municipal government for a century and a half.

The first palace on this site was built by the Commander of the Crown, Jan Tarnowski, in the first half of the 16th century. A Renaissance town dwelling in grand style, parts of its walls have survived to this day in the eastern wing of today’s palace. In 1561, the estate was acquired by the Ostrogski family, and then by the Zamoyskis. From the mid-17th to the mid-19th century, the building was owned by the Wielopolski family, who had it remodelled, leaving behind the impressive vestibule, tunnel staircase, ground floor vaults and stone doorways.

During the Great Fire of Kraków in 1850, the palace burnt down, and the Wielopolskis decided to sell it. The new owners set out to clear and reconstruct the estate. The former back wall was turned into the main façade, facing a new square that replaced the demolished medieval All Saints Church. In 1864, the city purchased the building and carried out a thorough renovation. The works were headed by Paweł Barański, while the interiors, furniture included, were designed by Filip Pokutyński. An impressive entrance was placed on the side of the square, the ground floor housed municipal offices and the mayor’s cabinets, while the former ballroom in the second floor was turned into the magistrate Assembly Hall, where the City Council convened.

Even towards the end of the 19th century the building was proving to be too small, and it was decided that it should be extended. The neighbouring plot was purchased, and some buildings in Poselska Street were torn down. Between 1906 and 1913 the architect Jan Rzymowski designed and erected first the western, and then the southern and eastern wings of the present municipal building. His eclectic, picturesque creation is replete with ‘quotations’ from Kraków’s historical monuments. Inside, he designed a majestic, two-storey vestibule covered with a pseudo-dome of open-work, gilded laurel leaves.

After the fire of 1926, the magistrate Assembly Hall was redecorated in the style of modernised classicism. The hall’s most prominent feature is a frieze – painted by Jan Bukowski – with portraits of the city’s mayors and the names of civic virtues in Latin.

Fred and George stole the Marauder's Map during their first year, right? So how come they didn't notice Tom Riddle following Quirrell around all the time?
