a harry potter au where potions is taught by gordon ramsay

[malfoycat-blog]

neville: *messes up his potion*

gordon ramsay: *holds neville between two slices of bread* what are you

neville: an idiot sandwich

[iamthepureblindraven-blog]

no no no!

Imagine that this is Gordon Ramsay a la Masterchef Junior

Neville: *messes up the potion, realizes it, starts crying quietly*

GR: What’s going on?

Neville: *explains how he messed up*

GR: Oh gosh okay…we can fix this, don’t cry, see, it’s fine now? Just be more careful when you’re adding the Newt’s eyes, all right? Drop them in gently. There we go. No more tears.

Neville: *giggles wetly, wiping eyes*

[mirab3lle]

Yes, he only screams when he’s dealing with people that claim to know what they’re doing and clearly dont, when he’s teaching he’s very kind and patient because they’re still learning.

[wickedbitchofthewestcoast]

He’d probably do the bread thing to Malfoy.

[therewerenorelevanturlsavailable]

nononononono. I get that Malfoy is a bit of a twat, but he’s still a kid. It’d be the teachers fucking up that he’d have trouble with.

Ramsay: All you had to do was treat it with a fucking Beozar! 

Slughorn: It was a stressfu-

Ramsay: How long have you been teaching potions?!

or

Ramsay: So you’re going to raise this boy SPECIFICALLY so he can die as part of your twisted little scheme? 

Dumbledore: It’s for the greater good, professor. 

Ramsay: The greater fucking good?! *holds two slices of bread either side of dumbledoor’s face* What are you? 

Dumbledore: Am I, per chance, an idiot sandwich? 

Ramsay: Yes, you fucking are.

I MUST HAVE REBLOGGED A THOUSAND TIMESSSS

[cameoamalthea]

My favorite Gordon Ramsey moment is from the latest season of Master Chef Jr.

Gordon had run in to help a group of struggling kids with a team challenge and one of the older kids, a 12 year old boy, wasn’t passing attention while taking a pan out of the oven and not only spilled all the food but scalded Gordon.

It’s clear Gordon’s leg is in pain. He’s been badly burned without warning. But he doesn’t scream. He doesn’t yell, not even in pain, and he doesn’t go off on the child who is now frozen in fear. He calmly tells the child to set the pan down and to close the oven, safety first. Then tells him to go restart the food he was making, calm instructions.

My husband and I grew up in abusive homes where any mistake meant parents getting angry (my husband is terrified of spills or broken glasses because that meant beatings growing up, for me, anything going wrong, that could upset my mother, even if it wasn’t my fault meant screaming and emotional abuse).

I didn’t know someone could be so calm. That someone could not get angry, and put aside what they’re feeling (in this case a lot of physical pain) and not take it out on those around them, even when someone around them had messed up, because that person is a child.

Gordon Ramsey is a survivor of child abuse himself and as an adult, the most non-abusive person ever when it comes to kids.

im going to cry can gordon ramsey be my parent this sound so beautiful

[ohmytheon]

Please take a moment to picture Gordon Ramsay taking over Potions when Snape becomes the DADA professor (instead of Slughorn) and not only being horrified when he realizes how terrified the students are that he’ll verbally abuse them when they mess up in Potions class but when he overhears how Snape treats students. Like can you IMAGINE the level of RAGE and CONTEMPT that Ramsay would harbor towards Snape? The asshat wouldn’t have made it to the end of HBP. Ramsay would’ve hexed his ass to kingdom come.

"When Shelley's corpse washed ashore, a friend identified it by a copy of Keats's 1820 volume in the coat pocket, which he knew Shelley had taken with him. Then, after cremation in which Shelley's heart, hardened by calcium, did not burn, this same friend snatched it from the embers and presented it to Mary Shelley, who kept it thereafter in her desk, wrapped in a copy of 'Adonais."

Here’s your morbid literary fact of the day.

[voidbat]

jesus christ, i will never be this goth.

[katrinastratford]

Mary Shelley’s father taught her to spell her name by taking her to the graveyard and having her trace the letters on her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s gravestone.

NO ONE will ever be as goth.

[closet-lunatic-deactivated20170]

didnt she also have sex on said grave

[mankillercalledbunny]

She lost her virginity on her mother’s grave yes

[gehayi]

She also wrote a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel focusing on the extinction of the human race and the meaninglessness of existence. In 1826.

Oh, and this isn’t especially goth, but my God, I respect her for this:

In 1827, Mary Shelley was party to a scheme that enabled her friend Isabel Robinson and Isabel’s lover, Mary Diana Dods, who wrote under the name David Lyndsay, to embark on a life together in France as man and wife.[126][note 13] With the help of  [American actor John Howard] Payne, whom she kept in the dark about the details, Mary Shelley obtained false passports for the couple.[127]

“i can’t do that because of my religious beliefs”

okay

“you can’t do that because of my religious beliefs”

not okay

Morality is not subjective. If the Bible says x is wrong, x is wrong whether you are a Christian or not. You’re not exempt from the truth because you don’t believe it.

[pishposh-haberdash]

Except if you’re not a Christian you don’t believe that the bible is truth so….

[therepublicofrapunzel-deactivat]

Yeah and if you’re colorblind you don’t think the sky is blue. 

The sky is blue whether you believe it or not. The Bible is true whether you believe it or not.

[cheshireinthemiddle]

The sky is actually black. You specifically perceive it as blue and a colorblind person may perceive it as orange or grey. A mantis shrimp sees it as colors that you cant even comprehend.

Your views =//= absolute truth

[rainnecassidy]

CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT HAVE A MONOPOLY ON MORALITY ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SPECIFICALLY GO OUT AND COMMIT GENOCIDES IN THE NAME OF THEIR GOD

🚨 The internet needs you 🚨

You’re up again, Tumblr. 

Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won. 

That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.

The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.

His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.

Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.

You know the drill. Here’s what to do:

The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.

Go there now 👉 dearfcc.org ✌️

You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:

I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.

The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them. 

The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.

Please leave the existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.

Thank you!

If you need more ammo, feel free to quote these experts from our net neutrality Issue Time. TechCrunch and Battle for the Net also have some good starters.

Everyone is counting on everyone else here. Do your part and tell the FCC to keep a free and open internet under Title II.

Breakdown - a poem about my experience with mental illness

When I was in my final year of my undergraduate degree, I experienced what I now call a breakdown. My mental health spiralled and soon, I hardly got out of bed at all. Just being alive hurt so much at that time; I had never experienced anything like it.

There aren’t many perks to suffering from depression. Sometimes the darkness can feel all-encompassing, and you wonder if you will ever get out. Today, I have still not recovered two years on. I’m not sure if I ever will. But I am on a journey towards learning more about myself, and trudging through all of the pain and trying to make some sense of it. So, while the perks are few and far between, I have learned more about myself in the last two years than ever before.

When I was in the depths of depression, the only way I could articulate how I felt was through poetry. Below is a poem I wrote one night in bed when I couldn’t sleep. It offered some catharsis when any relief felt impossible. Sometimes just articulating what is happening to us can make that burden feel slightly lessened. I hope that there is somebody out there who can read my poem and think, “this is what it felt like for me. I am right there in that room.”

Breakdown

There comes a day When my hands stop ticking. My face grows cold; The dark and worn mahogany Of my body starts to rot.

In an instant, I am rendered useless. A freezing, bald victim, Cowering in the corner Of the old house on the edge of town.

And everything is over. It is all gone. My owner deceased: My batteries dead. And I cease to be, To everyone but myself.

So I stand in this paralysis, And I hope for something good. I pray that I will be cared for; My face wiped with Veronica’s cloth. I want to be loved. I want to be needed. Not this troublesome silence; These lifeless hands.

- Patrick Kelleher

This is an excellently written and very honest article written about mental illness. It's articles like this that will hopefully help people to be more open about their experiences and hopefully to get the help they need. Please reblog. If it helps even one person having a horrible time then it's worth it.
