last year one night me and my old roommates were all playing twister and mike was on the spinner and halfway through the game he kind of mumbled to himself “i sure hope im calling these right” and then everyone in the room simultaneously remembered that mike was colorblind
they should have let Scar be part of the big villain team up in the kingdom hearts series though, like they’re all at their evil meeting and Jafar or maybe Oogie Boogie wants to know why a regular lion is there and Maleficent’s like “oh, he’s a fascist”
uterus culture is forgetting all the weird symptoms that come along with your period every month and wondering why you’re feeling some kind of way until you Realize
best unloved characters from the harry potter universe: those bulgarians who tricked fudge into thinking they couldnt speak english for months
YOU GUYS!!!!
need to hang up a sign in my bedroom that says “do not yearn”
my favorite thing in the world is the way little baby kittens walk
we make a lot of jokes at the expense of furries on this site but let me be clear, if there were a couple of furries on the sonic design team we wouldn’t be in this mess
Bringing this back for the cats trailer
honestly the concept of doppelgangers is scary but if i saw myself i probably wouldn’t be that terrified. like i know she can’t run for more than 3 minutes straight. i know she can’t do basic maths. she’s not going to do anything. she doesn’t even know what day it is
jd when he killed three people who were pissing veronica off and veronica broke up with him:
Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.
The expelled half-giant. The young werewolf. The repentant Death Eater.
He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.
And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed.
He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.
Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.
So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.
Who gave you the RIGHT?
Dumbledore knows Sirius’s loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question.
Ooooohoo if there’s ever a post that fits my aesthetic…
okay but then where does Harry himself fit into this collection? Is he an outcast because he is “the Boy Who Lived”?
Nooonono, my friend, that’s what makes this post so beautiful. Because it fits the meta I’ve been trying to get people to accept for years.
Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect.
Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let’s face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse.
Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley.
Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends.
And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider.
Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys.
And who put him there in the first place?
I’m here for this Anti-Dumbledore discussion.
This makes even more sense when you consider why Dumbledore deliberately made Harry an outcast.
Think about it What would Harry have been like if he had grown up in the wizarding world? Or, to put it another way, what would Harry have been like if he had grown up in a world where magic was the norm?
He would have taken magic for granted. He would have been less likely (especially as he got older) to view Dumbledore as a wise mentor and more likely to see him as flawed and capable of bad decisions. He would have seen both the world and Dumbledore as ordinary, with their good points and bad points.
But Dumbledore didn’t need a well-adjusted boy who took magic and the magical world for granted. He needed a child who would love the magical world unstintingly, even irrationally, because it was a haven from neglect and abuse. Even more, he needed a child who feared this world becoming evil and who therefore would not question someone that he saw as the ultimate authority, especially if he believed that obeying that authority would keep the world safe.
Even if obedience meant his own death.
Dumbledore wanted a martyr who would die for the wizarding world, because he believed that Voldemort could not die until Harry did. Which was why he left Harry with the Dursleys and let them neglect and emotionally abuse him for the next ten years.
To get a martyr, he first had to create a victim.
well… well, shit
Oh shit. Its been updated.
…I’ve been in the “Dumbledore was on the darker side of morally grey” camp for years but this…this. Holy shit. Oh no.
See, JK’s whole problem (besides, y'know, the whole racism thing – though this general thoughtlessness certainly contributes to that as well) is that she writes and plots entirely according to creating challenges, hardships, and rewards for Harry Potter specifically, without any consideration for the bigger picture or how this would feel for anyone else. The Dursleys are a Wicked Stepfamily just so Harry can start out in the negatives. One hundred percent of all Slytherins are racist, classist jerks who will refuse to fight against Voldemort to the very last kid, just so Harry can have an entire category as his enemy, even though they started out as eleven-year-olds and literally anyone who enters Hogwarts can be in any of the four houses. The last chapter of Philosopher’s Stone is “hey, sudden swerve, Harry gets the house cup instead of those Slytherin jerks!” without considering what this would actually look like, how this would feel, to an eleven-year-old Slytherin who’s never done anything wrong and just happens to fall into that particular one quarter of the student body.
And when you actually connect the dots, Albus Dumbledore is a total supervillain who uses and manipulates everyone around him, sends an infant to an abusive home, and lets a beloved member of the extended Potter family go to Azkaban because he can’t be exploited effectively. And this was honestly unintentional on Rowling’s part, who to this day maintains that Dumbledore was a kind, wise mentor and one of the greatest forces of good in the setting.
Gay people from 1950-2010: we are human just like you, we’re not another species or a subculture, the only difference is that we are attracted to the same gender.
Gay people in 2018: straight people are stinky, WIG!
straight people ARE stinky
there were 8 years between 2010 and 2018 where we didn’t exist but were just powering up our heterophobia gages
