Lurking around the fandoms

Travelling around the vast magic field of Tumblr and visiting all the fandoms, I feel whelmed.

When God was giving animals their voices part 2 by Southside Vic

When chickens are first born, they will be imprinted to the nearest animal next to them. These chickens imprinted themselves onto this feline. The cat however, is still fairly new to this concept.

okay, most of what i do re: harry potter is criticism, and hp is flawed in such a number of ways, but sometimes i just sit here and

i mean, you all have a comprehension of just how drastically harry potter changed literature, yeah? like. it revitalized it. it blew the literary scene apart. the new york times had to create a separate bestseller’s list for children’s lit just because harry potter existed. harry potter changed reading.

so many people on tumblr were born in the ’90s. when the first book came out, most of us couldn’t read. but we grew up in a world where everyone, everyone, everyone was reading harry potter, no matter how old they were; we grew up in a world where the most popular story in the entire world was a fantasy children’s book.

it’s sort of difficult to grasp, sometimes, the extent to which harry potter is not just a book. the extent to which what is basically a series of fun, interesting, and fairly good novels is such an enormous, enormous part of our lives, a cultural touchstone, a truly universal reference point, something so many people have shaped their lives around, a foundation for all of the stories we would read and watch for the rest of our lives— for so many of us, the first books we ever loved

the extent to which so many of us can’t call ourselves “fans” of harry potter, because it would like being a “fan” of, like, having lungs.

it’s not even about liking it or disliking it. it’s just a part of us.

SUPPORT BISEXUAL GIRLS WHO HAVE NEVER DATED A GIRL SUPPORT BISEXUAL GIRLS WHO HAVE NEVER DATED A BOY SUPPORT BISEXUAL BOYS WHO HAVE NEVER DATED A GIRL SUPPORT BISEXUAL BOYS WHO HAVE NEVER DATED A BOY SUPPORT BISEXUAL GIRLS AND BOYS NO MATTER WHO THEY’VE DATED BECAUSE YOUR OPINION OF THEIR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES DOESN’T DEFINE THEIR SEXUALITY

Do you know what’s sad? The fact that the person Viktor Krum would miss most is the girl he met that year. Like he had no other people that he cared about? Family? Friends? Parents? They got Fleur’s little sister why not someone he cared about? Does this mean that Krum has such a shitty life back home and in Durmstrang that the person he’d miss most is the girl he only just started dating? And if so it’s sad that they break up. 

Either he cared deeply enough about Hermione to the level that he would miss her most out of all of his family and friends or he has no one else in his life that he’d miss. Either way it’s heartbreaking.

He probably did have a shitty life. In Bulgaria he was probably just known as a quidditch star and nothing else. Since muggles are known to treat famous people as objects rather than human beings, I assume wizards do the same. Also, as we know, he wasn’t nearly as graceful on the ground as he was on a broomstick. Who knows, maybe he turned to quidditch as an outlet or escape from a shitty home.

man, teenaged girls aren’t allowed to have a genuine interest in anything without being ridiculed for it. if a girl likes ugg boots and starbucks she’s stupid and stereotypical, but if she likes combat boots and obscure coffee houses she’s a hipster wannabe and is trying too hard. if a girl listens to boy bands and other popular artists she’s a dumb follower, if she reads comics or plays video games she’s a poser/fake geek girl, if she likes sex she’s a slut but if she doesn’t like sex she’s a prude, if she wears makeup she’s fake but if she doesn’t wear makeup she’s a slob, if she has low self-esteem she needs to learn to love herself but if she has high self-esteem she’s overconfident and vain, if she’s interested in politics she’s a crazy social justice warrior but if she prefers to stay out of social matters she’s a dumb airhead. girls are literally mocked for every single thing they like or do, no matter what those things are, and i’m really really sick of it.

A LITTLE BIT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

[actjustly-deactivated20181001]

This is exactly how white America avoids having any conversations about race. Avoid responsibility for this individual & say that he was everything (mentally ill, a loner, etc.) except racist even though he blatantly states that he is a white supremacist on his website.

ffs, even Mitt Romney acknowledged the racial motivations for this crime.

It’s interesting to note that that the garments that have a cross over style when worn correctly are all worn with the left breast over the right.

[spaceytears]

That’s because right over left is used for corpses
