sleepwalkingnun said: is it an allegory for racism im general or, more specifically, antisemitism? it’s probably antisemitism but i just want to make sure. i’m bad at literature.

i think you could apply pretty much any systemic form of discrimination, but: jkr has said “people like to think themselves superior and that if they can pride themselves in nothing else they can pride themselves on perceived purity. so yeah that follows a parallel [to nazism]” so i think anti-muggle sentiment definitely has strong ties to antisemitism in particular & that was an intentional move on jkr’s part. but also, poc & lgbtq chars were overwhelmingly absent in the hp series, so that’s definitely a valid argument someone could make against the effectiveness of blood purity as an allegory.

multiples of 5?

*whistles* ok this might take a while...

5. If you were a type of tree, what would you be?The first one would be one of the super weird ones...I’m going to say Sugar Maple, but only because those are the trees we had in our backyard when I was a kid, so they’re sort of what I think of when I think of home.

10. What were you doing at midnight last night?Pretty sure I was sleeping by then.  Boring, I know.

15. Do you like someone?Yes, and I happen to be married to her! ♥♥♥♥♥

20. What is your best physical attribute? (showing said attribute is optional)Probably my legs?  I’ve been cursed at in by friends who were jealous of how I look in skinny jeans. :P

25. You just found $100! How are you going to spend it?Dinner and a night out with friends, probably a movie.

30. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don’t worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what’s the one thing you’re going to save from that blazing inferno?My box of Christmas tree ornaments.  A box counts as one thing, right?  I collect ornaments, some generally pretty or neat ones, but usually ones that relate to something in my life.  They’re also the souvenir I get whenever I travel.  My Christmas tree is the scrapbook of my life.  I’d be devastated if I lost that.

35. Are you a good….seamstress?Sort of?  When I actually have time to sit down and work on an outfit or costume, I can do a pretty good job with it, and I’ve had some good success making up patterns for costumes and stuffed animals and such.  I’ve no problem with using sewing machines.  But don’t look to closely at anything I’ve hand sewn, because my technique is terrible and my stitches are horribly inconsistent.

40. Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?Nowadays, sunrises.  I’m usually more upbeat in the morning, especially once I’m out of bed and showered.  I get moodier at night.

45. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?This one’s easy: no more anxiety, no more irrational fear.  I would be freaking amazing if I could get past that.

50. What is the most unusual conversation you’ve ever had?I don’t know if this qualifies as a “conversation” but I once had to endure a completely wasted dude try to pick me up by rapping badly about necrophilia for.  He went on for like 5 minutes straight with hardly a stop for breath.

55. Can you do any accents other than your own?God I am awful at accents, impressions, singing, pretty much anything that has to do with fine control over voice.  I can sort of do a Rhode Islander accent, but only because most of my family is from there.

60. Do you believe in aliens?I worry about the Fermi Paradox a lot.  Statistically, they’ve got to be out there, but if they are, where the hell are they?  I refuse to believe that space travel is just Too Hard and we’re all stuck on our little planets killing time until our sun dies.  Maybe alien life is just so different that we don’t recognize signs of it yet?

65. Freebie! Ask anything interesting you can think of.How about...what is your favorite flavor of ice cream?This is going to sound totally weird, but Pear Gorgonzola (yes, like the cheese).  There’s a local place here in Seattle that has it, and it is freaking amazing.  Once I got it mixed with a scope of Anise flavored ice cream (think black licorice or absinthe), and it was a life altering experience.

*whew* all done!

Multiples of 10?

10: Talk about the biggest fight you've ever had.funnily enough as much as i like to ramble on about how id fight pretty much anyone i actually havent gotten in very many fights or arguments or anything. so id probably have to say the one with my shitty high school art teacher.. he was really rude for the entirety of the time i had him and then he kind of crossed the line and we both blew up at each other and there was lots of yelling but hey in the end i definitely won because he got fired huehue

20: Talk about something that happened in high school.honestly some of my fondest memories are from freshman year when two of my friends and i would hang out in the area outside of the science rooms and just talk and goof around. there were stairs railings that we would slide down and swing around on and there was a huge pillar that we marked our heights on and it was just always a good time

30: Talk about what turns you off.hahahahaha damn it i cant say taras glasses anymore. that was always my go-to because holy shit tara just holy shit im so glad you finally got new ones. taras old glasses thats for sure. tbh though no matter how attractive someone is if theyre rude or annoying i dont give a fuck its instantly like noooope

40: Talk about the end of something in your life.dang how about when i graduated high school that was great. i left a semester early to go to community college to see what it would be like to take college classes and get a few credits out of the way early and it was the best choice i ever made because while everyone was studying for midterms i would bring a book to my classes or play pokemon on my 3ds and it was generally hilarious

the way the "Word of the Week" title card just cuts Aradia off is the funniest thing I've ever fucking seen

truth be told I was just cutting off myself stuttering and saying “i fucked up!!!” but it actually ended up being the best take i did

You should have a FAQ page, answering things like how often you post, how long a specific ask will take to be answered, where to submit/ask for advice, if any positions on this blog are available, and anything else you can think of. This is one of my favorite blogs. Keep up the good work :)

((thank you for your support! i believe one of the admins is working on a faq right now? im not sure, but ill ask but yeah i agree we should have a faq it would make things a bit easier heheh-Ry
