Lil rant from absorbing the absurd politics on tumblr, featuring Harry Potter discourse

People who are pro-Snape and anti-characters-who-say-anything-negative-about-Snape linger on how he was bullied and overlook (or at least minimise) how he was a Death Eater.

It overlooks the minutiae of being a Death Eater that we don't see - how suffered, yes, but he chose hate, chose to follow and directly support a bigoted terrorist, knowing the plan was to strip people of their rights; how he killed people, tortured people, for that end. Even if he came to regret it later, those are things he did.

I have seen some of these people also say that anybody who voted for Trump is evil. Anybody who didn't vote at all, or voted third party, is responsible for anything bad the government does in the next 4 years. It is your fault, they say, and I will never forgive you.

You can see the cognitive dissonance there, right?

Peter comes inside and then they watch scary movies, and then everybody goes to bed and wake up the morning and have the best day ever and nothing bad ever happens

the weasleys, circa 1995

[blorger]

In his second year as a Senior at MLE, Harry came to work with pneumonia – got sent home, did not go, still spent the day mulling about the office, coughing over paperwork and napping on the couch. In his fifth year at the department, he left St Mungo’s with a barely-healed gash cutting his midriff in half – all the way from his belly button to his ribs – to join in on final stakeout mission. Once, he’d lied to a Healer about the hex he’d been hit with just so that he could head back to round up an investigation – and ended up having to spend a completely unnecessary week at the hospital, bored out of his mind and getting blue goop pumped out of his bloodstream. Once, he’d slept at the office because he couldn’t be bothered to go home for the night. Once, Hermione stopped by his office before heading home and said, Don’t overdo it, will you, darling? And Harry had waved her off, smiling, thinking – you can’t overdo something when it’s the only thing you want to do. Thinking that it would take a wall of blasting curses to slow him down. An army to get him to take a day off. In the end it’s nothing as dramatic as that, and all it takes is two sleepless nights and a couple dozen drug-induced fantasies to fully and completely crumble the fortress that is Harry Potter’s resolve.

I don't want to be mean to people directly so I'm not putting this as a reblog to the posts I keep seeing BUT

the art of McGonagall with Dumbledore, Hagrid & Snape all together in the wake of Maggie Smith's death is very jarring, actually. who are you mourning?

I don't think you're mourning Maggie Smith, the real person. I think you're mourning the character Minerva McGonagall, who either never exists, or always exists, depending on your perspective on fiction.

It just really doesn't sit right with me ! that's all.

Moonflower study dates! Because it’s possible to be both academic rivals and the best of friends 🌙🪷😌

James and Sirius are definitely sitting across the table drooling over them

I challenged myself to paint at least(!) one Sirius Black art a month this year, so here is the April painting! And as I haven’t had much time in April, I made a more detailed artwork :') Well, but it was a lot of fun! I also added a close up because I really like his face in this one :)

tall remus lupin but in the sense that all the sleeves of every cardigan and hoodie he owns are at least 10cm too short, his ankles are always cold or his socks are always way too visible and every normal-small sized tshirt is in danger of being an accidental crop top

Yeah we didn't see Regulus bullying anyone or calling people slurs bc he is barely in the books but I would argue that we can still make some well educated guesses..............

[arliedraws]

Like he literally and willingly joined the magical equivalent of the nazi party lololol. Omg imagine thinking “kids being assholes and getting into fights” is akin to “I think some people are inherently inferior and should be tortured and killed, actually!”

I know Rowling thinks of Regulus as this like, selfless hero. But I don’t. And I would take “bully self-reflects and becomes better person” over “my boss was mean to my slave so I’m gonna punish him” any day honestly.

In Skyrim the way u cure lycanthropy is by beating the shit out of the ghostly apparition of ur inner beast maybe Remus should have tried that smh

[mxlfoydraco]

This is exactly the type of research James and Sirius would dig out and present to Remus
