“He was just great to be around and was very generous, kind, witty and funny. He was as colourful off stage in some ways, but he was also very shy - much more than anybody imagined.” – Roger Taylor about Freddie Mercury

Friend: Are you okay?

Me to myself: To my recollection, Eliza is the only character who has a pony tail in act two, which is kinda weird. Except, if you think about it, all the characters in act 1 that have a ponytail (Hamilton, Laurens, Lafayette, etc.)are fighting in a war. But Eliza's battles are in act 2. Her husband's affair, the loss of her son, Alexander's death, and her 50 year struggle to preserve his legacy from the slandering of his enemies. She also had to raise 7 other children by herself and-

Me: I'm fine.

fandom please I implore you all to talk about Dean Thomas more

literally yelling for a red card during a Quidditch match

painting a potter for president banner for his friend HOW CUTE

offering to forge a signature so that same friend could go to the village with the rest of them

actually he paints banners supporting Harry on two separate occasions four years apart 

is it weirder that he keeps doing that or that Harry keeps getting himself into situations where he requires banners

good with a quill be still my beating heart the boy is an artist

literally not giving a single fuck that their teacher was a “dangerous half-breed” because he respected the hell out of him as a person and educator

IF YOU MEAN PROFESSOR LUPIN, HE WAS THE BEST WE EVER - 

and he grew up as a muggle so he had already been exposed to werewolf folklore and he had every excuse to be afraid or prejudiced and instead decided to judge him on a human level, even without the familiarity the trio etc. had to him

standing up for that same teacher time and time again

including to a ministry official who he just generally gave the sass to anyway

never losing his faith in Harry even when his very best friend in the whole world and approximately 89% of the wizarding community basically thought the bloke was a nutjob

convincing his best mate to join DA 

there was a fair bit of an anti-dean sentiment in HBP best to ignore that then

never having any animosity towards his friend for getting together with his ex-girlfriend so soon

completely supporting and defending Harry while on the run because OBVIOUSLY why stop now after seven years of doing literally that at every single opportunity

being completely bemused by but always kind towards Luna

helping to dig the grave on the beach

running out into the final battle without a fucking wand 

evidently winning one at some point

everything to do with him and Seamus however you want to view their relationship but frankly I could do a whole other post on that

also I met Alfie once and he was so pretty

dEAN THOMAS

[calipines]

#I bet Dean went and like fucking punched Death Eaters#and they’re so used to expecting wands that they were stunned to be punched#BECAUSE WHO IN THE WIZARDLY WORLD DOES ANYTHING BY HAND ANYMORE#So this kid just comes running at them and POW and they’re just like ‘HOW DO I DEAL WITH THIS????’#dean thomas is a gift x

[likeawildthing]

important things to remember

all three houses stood between harry potter and pansy parkinson

mr & mrs weasley fought the battle of hogwarts without knowing where ron was

harry was so caught up in battle prep he forgot about the horcrux thing

neville & his herbology buddies threw mandrakes @ death eaters 

then neville used venomous tentacula to ensnare them

sir cadogan being IN HIS ELEMENT and rushing from painting to painting shouting encouragement @ people

mrs norris hissed & batted at owls

firenze showed up to fight 

poor hermit bewildered alberforth dealt w/ literally hundreds of people passing in & out of his house & then came to fight when he realized what was happening

slughorn finally decided his loyalties

ron: “so what’s new with you?”

colin creevy snuck back in after the evacuation

ron went after the basilisk fangs & remembered parseltongue to get them

hermione’s quick thinking w/ that slide literally saved their lives

mrs augusta longbottom put on her hat before she came to see what the what was up @ hogwarts

even the Headless Hunt people showed up

all the portraits encouraged ppl

instead of grieving in the great hall, ginny went outside, probably to be alone, and found it in herself to comfort a scared, lost girl whimpering for her motherneville & wood gathering the dead

professor trelawney throwing crystal balls down @ people

percy cursed the minister of magic & cracked a joke

minerva in her tartan dressing gown w/ a flock of galloping desks trailing behind

peeves dropped snargaluff pods onto death eaters so they were covered in wriggling, fat green worms

a dying snape was still with it enough to give harry those memories

He is dead!

mcgonagall’s scream

He beat you!

neville charged voldemort and mouthed off to him & slayed tf out of that snake

hagrid had his bro carry him from the cave to hogwarts, got shoved through a window, got carried away by giant spiders, and sobbed & carried dead harry all the way back to hogwarts

the rest of the centaurs, everyone & their mom, the threstrals, and even buckbeak came to fight

kreacher leading all the house elves w/ carving knives & cleavers stabbing & hacking @ death eaters

Not my daughter, you bitch!

harry literally waited until the opportune moment to reveal himself & it was so dramatic. bless him, sirius would’ve been so proud.

harry tried to get voldy to try remorse and redeem himself

ppl throwing food out the window into grawp’s mouth

blessed luna saw that harry was exhausted & distracted ppl so he could get out of the great hall

peeves immediately made up a verse about moldy voldy

harry: i’ve had enough trouble for a lifetime. *immediately joins the aurors*

What she says: i'm fine.

What she means: who at Hogwarts decided not to put in standards for Quidditch broomsticks?? the whole Slytherin team has the new Nimbus model thanks to Draco's rich dad, and the fact that a competitive game--sorry, SPORT--can come down to who has the better funding and equipment is just rancorous. Dumbledore wouldn't stand for such unfairness, would he? not even talented Beaters like Fred and George could keep up with Slytherin on their old Cleansweepers. And by the way, who the hell thought it was a great idea to let House-biased teachers take points away from the Houses or give, for that matter, to their own? who oversees this process? Professor McGonagall clearly has no problem taking points from her own House to maintain discipline and order, but what about Snape? it's been noted in the first book that he can just take away points from Gryffindor for arbitrary rules that he just invents on the spot. who's to say his finagling isn't what allowed Slytherin to dominate in total points for the past 6 or 7 years? who is keeping tabs on these teachers? Dumbledore either knows more than he's letting on, or he's doing a very poor job at organizing a school. does he understand the potential for corruption that he has handed those professors through their authority? Professor McGonagall clearly resists the temptation to abuse her power over the point system, but Snape's petty feud with Harry's father has really done a number on him. why is he even allowed to teach, anyway? ... wait, no, I totally forgot the teachers have basically no standards to meet. how does an egomaniac like Lockhart get hired? do these teachers have tenure? what the hell does the Ministry of Magic think of Dumbledore's sideshow of a "school"? why is Hogwarts considered so safe if someone like Quirrel--Quirell?--can get in without anyone noticing, I don't know, his SECOND HEAD? was it only present after Voldemort drank the unicorn blood, or had it been there ever since Quirell/Quirrell had started wearing that turban? did Voldemort never sneeze accidentally? is he even able to sneeze, or would his nasal deformity prevent that? would his host sneeze as well, and would the air come from the host's lungs? can he eat? didn't Quirrell drink the blood for him? how come no one forced him to go take a bath? is Voldemort hydrophobic? is he just disgusting? would he melt if touched by water, just like the Wicked Witch? maybe Dumbledore really is losing his marbles and does such great things during his lucid moments that they've just decided he's worth keeping around. and besides, where else would he go? is there an old folk's home for the magical sort? how does the food compare to that of the Muggle equivalent? do they hire wizards and witches as nurses? what about magical hospice care? where do they go when they die? where do Muggles go? where do WE go? is it all the same place? is there magic there? are there any Muggle ghosts? why haven't they told Muggles about magic? and how in the world do you keep DRAGONS a secret??

the harry potter books rated by Harry's Sass™

the sorcerer's stone: dudley asking harry if he wants to practice sticking his head down the toilet and harry replying "no thanks, the poor toilet's never had anything as horrible as your head down it - it might be sick" like ooo!!! sick burn!!! good for an 11 year old but overall still in the developmental stage. 6/10

the chamber of secrets: dudley (once again lmao get rekt) telling harry "i know what day it is" and harry replying "well done, so you've finally learned the days of the week." lockhart trying to be all Amazing Teacher™ and shit and telling harry "just do what i did, harry!" and harry saying "what, drop my wand?" overall good but not with as much of an Oomph™ factor as the sorcerer's stone. 5/10

the prisoner of azkaban: ah yes!!! Harry's Sass™ in its adolescent years!!!! no longer a toddler, now solidly about 11 years old. draco making fun of harry for fainting at the quidditch game bc of the dementors and saying "shame [the broom] doesn't come with a parachute - in case you get too near a dementor." and harry replying "pity you can't attach an extra arm to yours, malfoy. then it could catch the snitch for you." 8/10 purely because he fucking MURDERED whiny bitch ass baby malfoy ha ha take that

the goblet of fire: a good amount of sass!! a healthy amount of sass! perhaps a bit held back though (come on harry get it together). rita skeeter annoying harry and asking for a word and jk rowling LITERALLY writing "'yeah, you can have a word,' said harry savagely. 'good-bye'" like FUCK he is canon savage in this book!!!! DAMN!!!!! and then he reks malfoy AGAIN "you know that expression [your mother's got], like she's got dung under her nose? has she always looked like that, or was it just because you were with her?" MOTHERFUCK GO OFF 9/10

the order of the phoenix: HOLY GRAIL OF HARRY'S SASS™. THE MOTHERLOAD. GOD DAMN. when vernon asks him why he's listening to the news again and harry replies w/ "well, it changes every day, you see." when hermione's warning him about picking fights w/ malfoy bc malfoy will make life hard for him and harry's like "wow, i wonder what it'd be like to have a difficult life" like fuck harry!!! tell us how u really feel!!!! literally ANY TIME he talks to an adult he doesn't like. sassing dudley left & right, putting him in his place w/ "this is night, diddykins. that's what we call it when it goes all dark like this" like fuck harry brought out the big guns w/ "diddykins". overall wonderful, truly. a good healthy teenage dose of sass. 100/10

the half blood prince: SHIT DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY ANYTHING EXCEPT "THERE'S NO NEED TO CALL ME SIR, PROFESSOR" LIKE FUCK. BEST PART OF THE WHOLE BOOK. OF THE WHOLE SERIES. FUCKING OWNED SNAPE HE'S FUCKIN REKT LYING ON THE FLOOR CRYING DRINKING SOME CHEAP ASS DISGUSTING ASS FIREWHISKEY. BREAKS THE GOD DAMN MOTHERFUCKING SCALE SO FAR OFF THE SCALE IT'S ON MARS. INFINITY/10. FUCK.

the deathly hallows: "it's time you learned some respect!" "it's time you earned it" sassing the minister of magic hooooooo boy. not much else bc harry's too busy like saving the world and shit. so extra points for multitasking and being an overall well rounded sass-er. 8/10

Things that the Harry Potter films left out about Snape

Called Lily a mudblood, then tried to cover himself by saying that she alone was different from other muggleborns

Didn’t see a problem with his friends performing Dark Magic on Mary MacDonald, compared it to the Marauders pranks

Dropped a tree branch on Petunia

Attacked Remus in PoA whilst he was trying to explain things and literally said the words ‘I’ll drag the werewolf. Perhaps the Dementors will have a kiss for him too’

Continued to refuse to listen to Sirius’s explanation even though he was being compliant and had only once tried to fight back, without magic, after Snape attacked Remus

After he found out he wasn’t actually going to get an Order of Merlin, or have the satisfaction of seeing two innocent men in jail, he exposed Remus as a werewolf

Ripped a photo of James and Lily and Harry being happy and in love and a family in half and stole the half with Lily on it

Actively tried to get the Marauders expelled from Hogwarts

Dumbledore was ‘disgusted’ by his attitude towards James and Harry 

Harry distrusted Snape that much he literally thought he was trying to poison Remus

Abused his position as Head of House to unfairly reward points to Slytherin and take points from other houses, especially Gryffindor, far beyond the extent it was shown in the movies

Told Neville he would feed Trevor Neville’s failed potion so the possibly fatal results would teach him a lesson

Mocked Tonks when her Patronus changed, despite the fact his also changed to match Lily’s

Insulted Hermione’s appearance and told her he didn’t see any difference after Draco cursed her teeth to grow and then watched as she ran out crying

James Potter in the books vs James Potter in the movies

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone - BOOK

Dumbledore: This one time, Harry, your father saved Snape’s life.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone - MOVIE

*no mention of such event*

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - BOOK

Sirius: Harry, I did this really douchey thing once, and I tried to have Remus kill Snape, but your father heard about it and rushed off to save his life.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - MOVIE

*no mention of such event*

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - BOOK

*Harry goes into Pensieve and sees James and Sirius picking on Snape very unfairly - Lily intervenes - Snape cuts James’s face open - James does a dick move - Lily gets pissed - Snape calls Lily a Mudblood for absolutely no reason whatsoever - Lily leaves them to it - James gears up for another dick move*

Snape: *interrupting* GTFO, BITCH!

Harry: HOLY SHIT MY FATHER WAS AN ASSHOLE! *warm and fuzzy illusions ruined*

Sirius and Remus: What up?

Harry: You guys. My Dad was an asshole.

Sirius and Remus: OMG NO! HARRY, SERIOUSLY! Look, James was an immature prat when he was a teenager and he did horrible things and WE’RE NOT DENYING IT and everyone regrets how they acted back then, but he grew up and became a better person and he was a great man, I swear. And it wasn’t like Snape was innocent because he was really mixed up in Dark Arts and James HATED Dark Arts so much.

Harry: But my Mum hated him omg.

Sirius and Remus: Dude don’t even worry about that it’s cool, she totally didn’t.

Harry: Okay.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - MOVIE

*Harry breaks into Snape’s memory in a way that isn’t really possible for somebody who can’t do Legilimency and sees James bullying the shit out of Snape and being the biggest dick in the world*

Harry: ….. my father was an asshole.

*nobody contradicts him*

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - BOOK

*Harry looks into the Pensieve and sees how Snape was in love with Lily but drove her to abandoning their friendship after becoming heavily invested in the Dark Arts and planning to become a Death Eater, and then finally calling her a Mudblood even though Lily was his only friend, and this is a totally rational reason for Lily to break ties with him and we already know that James Potter was essentially a good guy so it makes so much sense that Lily would fall in love with and marry him*

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - MOVIE

*Harry looks into the Pensieve and sees that SNAPE AND LILY WERE SOULMATES OMG BUT THAT BASTARD JAMES POTTER TURNED UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND RIPPED THEM FROM ONE ANOTHER OMG IT’S SO SAD THEIR LOVE WAS TRUE AND NOW SNAPE’S HOLDING HER CORPSE LIKE A FUCKING CREEP BUT OMG SO SAD, GUYS*

Season 1 Steve appreciation post

The internet has been going wild lately about Steve Harrington’s season 2 arc and that’s great but season 1 Steve also deserves love and here’s why:

Season 1 Steve was a gentleman who gave a girl he was hot for privacy as she changed in his room. She initiated sex, not him. This is hardly an impressive feat but he’s still better than a lot of “nice guy” characters like Xander Harris from Buffy.

Season 1 Steve broke a guy’s camera after he took creepy photos of his girlfriend undressing without her consent. Anyone who thinks this is a villainous moment can fight me.

Season 1 Steve called out his toxic friends and cut them out of his life when they went too far.

Season 1 Steve offered to help clean up the mess made by said toxic friends because he recognized his complicity when there was no one around to be impressed.

Season 1 Steve drove to Jonathan’s house to apologize to him and said he didn’t mind if he and Nancy got together.

Season 1 Steve saved Nancy and Jonathan, two people he was not on good terms with, from an alien monster with no context to understand what he was facing.

Season 1 Steve bought Jonathan a new camera for Christmas to replace the one he broke and let him think it was from Nancy.

Season 1 Steve was seriously flawed and he definitely said and did some awful things but he has always been thoughtful and brave. Brave enough to face monsters and brave enough to admit that he screwed up and needed to be better.
