I nominate my friends @snowbarryisreal and @agentofikol simply for being my friends. They were (and still are) my first friends. Their friendships made me realise that all my previous friends were more like acquaintances, people who I share no common interests with and who would pass through my life with no real impact. I began to connect with them through watching supernatural and they have helped me to become more comfortable with who I am and what I stand for (even if it is the opposing view). Without realising it they have helped me with my anxiety and publicly (to them anyway) speaking about it and the problems it causes. Yes they make fun of me but I don’t think they could’ve been half as effective as friends if they weren’t, and their teasing is never malevolent in intent. Their teasing has helped make my quirks, ones I’m too scared to show, defining features about me and they never discourage me from my hare-brained ideas no matter the stupidity of them. These two have started my realisation of how I want to live my life and I’ve never told them that. They both taught me that I need to love myself (through methods other than directly saying it). They’ve helped me be who I am and I hope they are proud of the person I hope to become. Guys you are truly the best friends I have and I hope you can see that through the permanent layer of sarcasm in my tone. I nominate you both because you deserve to be acknowledged as friends and everything that word means. Thank you both for accepting me as me. Love you both 😘 and please don’t take the piss out of this post!

A change of plans.

In light of the recent events in Orlando, I’ve ended the #GishwhesTakesTumblr hunt early. It’s a bad day for games. We still have lots of prizes to give away and donations to make to charities, but we’re going to distribute them in a different way.

Instead of a game, we are going to let you give the remaining prizes away to people who have made a difference in your life. From now until 4pm PDT, today (Sunday), I’m inviting you to nominate someone you know who has had a profound and positive impact on in your life to receive one of our remaining prizes. (We still have show props, signed scripts iPods, lots of stuff.)

So here’s what you do: Tell us about a particular person who has made a difference in your life and why they deserve something special. We will read your submissions and select the stories that move us most. Those selected will not only get something from us, but they will also be able to choose a charity that we will contribute to on their behalf.

Please tag your posts #GiveLoveToday

I’m also postponing my tumblr Answer Time until tomorrow at 4pm.

This was a horrible idea

The great bread debate

Me: Bread is sacred and we should be thankful that bread is available in stores near us so that we may make toast or sandwiches, puddings or complementary to soup. However sacred bread is, it should never I repeat NEVER be frozen. Who would you do such a thing to something so precious some might I ask? I reply: monsters

Frozen-bread lover me: You do realise the bread you buy in store was frozen before put on the shelf? What does it matter if the bread is frozen again? It tastes the same as if it hadn't been frozen again. There is literally no difference between shop-frozen and double-frozen bread

Me: I concede that bread is frozen before shelved. However I must ask why you feel the need to freeze bread in the first place. Much like eggs, bread is preferably used at room temperature and so freezing the bread further inhibits your life in that you have to wait longer to make any form of sustenance from this bread

Bread-lover me: you argue that bread is sacred and beautiful. Well that I the answer to your question pertaining to WHY we freeze bread. We enjoy it so much that we want to preserve it. Furthermore, we can buy 2+ loaves this way without fearing expiration of the bread within that same week.

I think one of the reasons the Harry Potter Epilogue was so poorly received was because the audience was primarily made up of the Millennial generation.

We’ve walked with Harry, Ron and Hermione, through a world that we thought was great but slowly revealed itself to be the opposite. We unpeeled the layers of corruption within the government, we saw cruelty against minorities grow in the past decades, and had media attack us and had teachers tell us that we ‘must not tell lies’. We got angry and frustrated and, like Harry, Ron and Hermione, had to think of a way to fight back. And them winning? That would have been enough to give us hope and leave us satisfied.

But instead. There was skip scene. And suddenly they were all over 30 and happy with their 2.5 children.

And the Millennials were left flailing in the dust.

Because while we recognised and empathised with everything up to that point. But seeing the Golden Trio financially stable and content and married? That was not something our generation could recognise. Because we have no idea if we’re ever going to be able to reach that stage. Not with the world we’re living in right now.

Having Harry, Ron and Hermione stare off into the distance after the battle and wonder about what the future might be would have stuck with us. Hell, have them move into a shitty flat together and try and sort out their lives would have. Have them with screaming nightmares and failed relationships and trying to get jobs in a society that’s falling apart would have. Have them still trying to fix things in that society would have. Because we known Voldemort was just a symptom of the disease of prejudice the Wizarding World.

But don’t push us off with an ‘all was well’. In a world about magic, JK Rowling finally broke our suspension of disbelief by having them all hit middle-class and middle-age contentment and expecting a fanbase of teenagers to accept it.

Also. Since when was ‘don’t worry kids, you’re going to turn out just like your parents’ ever a happy ending? Does our generation even recognise marriage and money and jobs as the fulfillment of life anymore? Does our generation even recognise the Epilogue’s Golden Trio anymore?

#i think this one of the reasons why the james/lily/albus naming theme bothered me #because there’s a sense of going in a circle rather than pressing forward #the only way the wizarding world will survive if it changes dramatically from this point #having the station seem exactly the same #right down to the names being thrown around #makes it seem stagnant #so i’m guessing another dark lord should turn up in a couple of decades (x)

(about Italy pulling a vegetable out of nowhere) ‘I don’t know. I just don’t know’

(about Israel) ‘Well that was tense. All those fireworks and all that hairspray. Never a good idea.’

(about Bulgaria’s outfit) ‘Maybe Bulgaria has poor street lighting. She has invested in some neon knee pads, which are useful for… gardening at night. I don’t know what she gets up to’

(about Poland) ‘Enjoy that smile.It’ll be the last one you see off him’
