I feel like the problem ppl have when constructing redemption arcs is people make 'the character realizes what they've done is wrong' the end step instead of like...one of the earliest ones. a satisfying redemption arc doesn't resolve when the character first feels sorry, it resolves when a character has really journeyed towards atonement and made enough change in themselves to achieve some kind of symbolic victory over who they used to be

the harry potter books rated by how much i love madam pince in them

philosopher’s stone: pince brandishes a feather duster at harry because he stands in the library for more than a minute without checking out a book. her intolerance for loitering and irreverence for pint-size celebrities delights me. (7/10)

chamber of secrets: looks like an "underfed vulture" and is constantly suspicious. stalks the library shelves like a righteous bird of prey. love it (8/10)

prisoner of azkaban: no mention because although hermione basically lives in the library this year apparently irma's shenanigans were not notable enough to make the cut. she, as well as the reader, is robbed. (0/10)

goblet of fire: kicks harry out of the library at eight o'clock sharp because not even the goddamn triwizard tournament is going to interrupt her schedule. all other mentions of "pince" in the book are actually just the word pincer. misleading and disappointing. (5/10)

order of the phoenix: makes harry and ginny's school supplies whack them over the head because ginny was eating chocolate in the library. her justice is swift and unforgiving and i love her more every day. (9/10)

half-blood prince: harry and co. speculate about whether filch and madam pince are dating. hilarious and adds depth to her mystery-shrouded persona. pince kicks them out of the library after they talk shit about her man. also calls harry a "depraved boy" which is objectively funny. a good book for irma. (10/10)

deathly hallows: irma's fate is unclear. was she at the battle of hogwarts? did she bravely charge into combat armed only with large books and a vulture-like precognition of her own mortality? i'd like to think so, but jkr won't tell me. (2/10)

this is like. allow it to be spiritually 2009 for a moment and join me in being furious over one of the best declarations of life-long friendship in the entire hp series being reduced to hermione being like “haha harry you need us bc you’re dumb!” like …. this scene in the books is pointedly not ron and hermione saying you can’t do this without us; what they’re saying is even if you’re the only person who can do this, we’re going to be there, now and always. and instead we got this.

my immense self hatred VS my delusional god complex

[fanonical]

JK Rowling has publically sided with a TERF who got fired for being transphobic.

[fanonical]

the “debate” — as if there ever was one — is over. this is the smoking gun. JK Rowling is publically a terf. never again can somebody say Rowling doesn’t hate trans women.

[mahoippu-deactivated20200905]

just adding to this for those who didn’t know— jk rowling has been pretty open about her transphobia for a while now, the recent news is just the first time iirc that she’s spoken about it. all past proof and examples of her transphobia can be found here. she has consistently liked transphobic tweets and followed terfs and transphobes on twitter for well over a year now
