The Awesomeness of Hufflepuff

Person: I like Hufflepuffs! They're particularly good finders lol.

Me: ...

Person: I mean, they're just kind of average, aren't they? There's nothing really special about them. They don't really do anything.

Me: ...

Me: Cedric Diggory was selected by the Goblet of Fire as the most worthy student of Hogwarts. He then proceeded to win (tie) the Triwizard Tournament fair and square, despite a Death Eater rigging it for Harry to win and Fleur and Victor both getting assistance from their cheating headmasters. Not to mention how he defended Harry (his opponent) against injustice done by his own supporters.

Me: Nymphadora Tonks let her very hair stand in rebellion of the world's expectations. She overcame the intense prejudice of the world and married a werewolf. She also worked undercover at the Ministry of Magic for the Order, then fought and died in the Battle of Hogwarts, despite having every excuse to stay out and stay safe.

Me: Pamona Sprout--the hero of Hogwarts who saved every single Petrified student when the Chamber of Secrets was opened.

Me: Ernie Macmillan stood up to the murderous Heir of Slytherin (or so he thought) to defend his good friend Justin, then admitted his mistake and apologized to Harry when he realized he'd been wrong.

Me: Susan Bones lost her ENTIRE family to Death Eaters over the course of the two wizarding wars. Yet she still chose to fight in Dumbledore's Army rather than succumbing to fear.

Me: The Fat Friar was executed for saving as many people as he could from the pox and was known for his willingness to give second chances, even after his death.

Me: Helga Hufflepuff was the only founder willing to teach ALL students willing to learn because give it a break guys, they're 11 years old.

Me: Hufflepuffs are loyal and true and fair and STILL manage to kickass against the traitors and the liars and the cheats.

I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.

a weird sensation: having a vague feeling of unhappiness but not knowing what it's about and trying to convince yourself not to go looking for a reason

How to turn anger into dollars

[shanology]

I’ve grown to really like my scenes with Scarlett. Something about that relationship, because I don’t think it drifts into a romantic place. I think it’s a place where we each just need somebody. She’s kinda been a loner for a long time and probably avoided friendships for professional purposes. And I had no friends because I was frozen. And now it’s like a really nice brother and sister bond. There’s some nice scenes in this one.

my opinions on racism will always be limited as I’m from a position of white privilege, so whilst it’s so important to call out racial inequality and oppression when I see it, it’s also important for me to recognise that my voice should not shout over those who have actually experienced racism and have a far better understanding of how it operates then I ever will

It's also worth noting that the actress was leaving the show, and there's really no good way to write off her character without killing her. I do understand that the way they did it, essentially by accident, and very much because of her relationship with Clarke, is very evocative of the trope, of Tara like you said. I can see why people reacted badly, how it was unfortunately executed and why it hurt people, but I also think a lot of people are overreacting.

This is all true. With Tara I was thinking actually about the setup of the shot: it’s by accident and the victim was taken by surprise with a bullet to the torso. It was very evocative of Tara visually as well as thematically. But also like…Lexa and Tara are very different characters. It’s actually an interesting dichotomy now that I think about it. Part of the depressing irony of Tara’s death was that she was a very fragile character who was just discovering her own power/sense of self. And Lexa was just discovering the power to be found in vulnerability. I can see how the circumstances surrounding each death (the character development I just mentioned and the seeming happy resolution to the lesbian relationship ie Willow/Tara reconciling and Clarke/Lexa having sex) can make the deaths seem like punishment. But like I said in my original post I think those surroundings exist as plot devices to make the deaths more impactful. It’s very true that we have a dearth of queer characters on tv and even fewer who live happily ever after. So I get that this feels like an addition to that depressing pattern. But as I said, I think in the show’s narrative context it actually makes sense and, as a wlw myself, I’m not offended in that regard. But I’m not saying everyone should feel the same as me. People get to feel their feelings.
