As a feminist, I don’t think women should be drafted into war.

As a feminist, I don’t think men should be drafted either.

People should never have to be drafted to war. If not enough people believe in that war enough to fight, then that war is not worth fighting.

truly amazing.

[peerieweirdo]

everybody always makes the marauders out to be super cool and suave but dude

they had codenames

they named their own friendship group

as far as i can tell only aBSOLUTE DORKLORDS DO THAT

how much do you wanna bet the entirety of hogwarts refused to call them ‘the marauders’ and they got all grumpy abt it

[harrypotterconfessions]

The entire exchange between them all during their 5th year exam also attests to this. 1. He’s sitting in my chair 2. He’s wearing my clothes 3. His names remus Lupin?? That’s not even funny ! but they all laughed. And they’ve known he’s a werewolf for how many years at that point? 3? I can’t get over it lolol it is absolutely dorky.

Sirius and James wore matching Phoenix shirts while riding the motorbike together.

In addition (and I will categorically never get over this) sixteen year old James Potter doodling Lily’s initials in a love heart on his DADA OWL exam? 

And for god’s sake, they dedicated a significant chunk of their free time to drawing their entire school (and not just any school- Hogwarts, the most convoluted building anywhere ever) and enchanting it to keep track of every single person, not to mention the fucking stairs and the walls that move. This map can see people under the Invisibility Cloak, doesn’t give two shits about Polyjuice Potion. 

They were gi-fucking-gantic dorks. You can bet that their dorm room had more advanced textbooks in it than any other in the castle. You can bet that their homework (despite often likely being done a little close to the line) will nine times out of ten be twice as many inches as they were asked for including moving, colour coded diagrams and insanely complex theory on how to improve the effects of said spell or potion, potential applications that literally no-one would have thought of.

Like the very fact that they’re canonically fucking mischief makers of the calibre of Fred and George, the fact that they caused trouble that way is just textbook behaviour for a lot of really really bright kids? They were goddamn geniuses, and they were bloody bored 90% of the time, so they pushed themselves. Acing transfiguration? No problem, let’s become Animagi to help our best mate. Ancient Runes way bellow our skill level? Fine, we’ll use a combination of that, arithmancy and charms to make a map that tracks people all over the castle.

They were absolute nerd kings, and I sodding well love it.

How Percy Weasley’s growth as a character is shown by one word.

Prisoner of Azkaban

“Why are the Ministry providing cars, Father?” Percy asked again, in a dignified voice.

Goblet of Fire

“I’ll come with you Father,” said Percy importantly.

Order of the Phoenix

From Percy’s letter to Ron post family rupture:

“As you must be aware, given our father escorted him to court…”

Deathly Hallows

“I’m sorry, Dad.”

hades isn’t a badass. hades named his three-headed-guard-of-the-underworld-dog spot. hades whispers to his flowers to make them grow. hades grows fruit. there’s no sun in the underworld.

hades isn’t a badass. stop saying this false thing

[oldcicadahymns-archived]

#hades probably double knots his laces

[zenosanalytic]

In myth, Hades’ most remarked upon traits are 1) how responsible/reliable he is, 2)how sober-minded he is, 3)how dedicated, implacable, and long-remembering he is, and 4)how boring and grim most of the other Olympians think he is to be around. Oh and notably, that if you play him a song he likes, he’ll basically give you anything you ask for(though not without conditions).

Hades is, canonically, a gigantic nerd. If they’d had trainsets, he’d have been the Olympian who collected trainsets, meticulously corrected with exacto knife and hobby-paints the errors toy-makers introduced to those trainsets, and then endlessly talked about those trainsets to anyone sat next to him at Thanksgiving Dinner :| When he wasn’t trying to rope them into an interminable discussion about gardening or divine law, that is :| :| He’s the sort of god who frequently handed out punishment like giving someone a million-piece puzzle where every piece is shaped the same, that resets itself at the start of every day if you don’t complete it, and then he keeps the last piece on his person at all times as a secret private joke for eternity because he finds you personally distasteful(not even because he’s mad at you or hates you particularly; he just doesn’t like you as a person) :| :| :| He is. A Gigantic. Nerd.

He’s also like one of the only gods who is faithful to his wife. And he listens to her like when she asks for a soul to be released and he’s like “But honey, the rules.” And she just gives him that look and he goes “Yes dear,” and lets the soul go with the easiest freaking instructions ever in a myth. And the human still fucks it up. Not his fault Persephone, not Hades’ fault this time. Essentially, Hades is sorta like the accountant suburban dad who collects really specific figurines and gets really grumpy when people mess up his lawn. Do you know how hard his wife worked on those roses? He is calling his attorney. Oh wait, he is also an attorney.

[thelifeandtimesofmarauding]

why do we never talk about the marauders + Lily and comics? Like they were alive during the silver and bronze age of comics, they were probably the biggest comic book nerds, especially Lily.

STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT A BLACK PERSON BEING CAST FOR THE ROLE OF HERMIONE IN THE THEATRE PRODUCTION. PLEASE.

people do this EVERY FUCKING TIME they cast a black person for the role of a character. When John Boyega was cast for The Force Awakens, people complained about ‘’white genocide’’. When Idris Elba wanted to be the new James Bond, that created even more drama.

Hermione was never established as being white.There are bigger issues in the world than your white feelings being hurt because things don’t go your way. It doesn’t state anywhere in the books explicitly what race Hermione is. Stop complaining about how Hermione is white in the movies. This isn’t the movies. This is a play. They’re not the same thing. Changes are allowed to be made.

Stop acting as if this is the worst thing to happen. You know what really does hurt? the lack of representation of PoC in the media, and when we FINALLY get something we want people have to start complaining. Please just stop.

This is an actual quote from J.K. Rowling. If she doesn’t mind then neither should you. 

J.K. Rowling has actually supported fanart showing Hermione as being black or mixed race. If the actual author of the books doesn’t mind then you shouldn’t.
