On A Temp Hiatus

People who don’t understand the difference between punishment and discipline should, like, never have kids

[clown-butch-deactivated20240919]

hey op i dont understand the difference could you please explain?

[cult-hopper]

Yeah ofc!! Sorry for being vague I was just venting and didnt expect reblogs haha

I’m gonna try to explain my point through examples.

Ex 1: toddler screaming and crying in the walmart

Punishment: I’m going to spank you or embarrass you or yell at you! Shut up! I’ll give you something to cry about!

Discipline: stop doing what you’re doing because it isn’t productive and it disturbs others as well as increasing your own upsetnes. I’m going to take you out of the environment that’s upsetting you until you’re calm and we can identify what upset you together so I can explain to you why it’s like that/help you find ways to productively express upsetness as you grow.

Ex 2: your teen is failing, like, all their classes

Punishment: you’re grounded! You’re not allowed to go out with your friends or play games or do anything fun or enjoyable until your work is satisfactory!

Discipline: it’s important to do well in school. You need to communicate with me when you are struggling so I can help you. You also need to learn to manage fun stuff and work as that’s an important life skill in adulthood. I’m going to monitor your work more closely so I can help you find that balance. And if this is a deeper mental or emotional issue, we can seek help for you together.

So basically, discipline is something you teach that requires time, communication, and sternness. Punishment is a single action meant to deliberately cause discomfort in an attempt to implement negative reinforcement. Not good.

Yes. We just did.

When Harry and Draco’s relationship becomes known to the public, Harry hides from the reporters because he hates them after the war just as much as he did before (if not more). But Draco works at the Ministry and can’t really avoid the Prophet and is actually used to being assaulted by journalists (redeemed ex-Death Eaters usually are) so he gets the brunt of it. 

And he fucking loves it.

Interviewers ask him about his new boyfriend Harry Potter and Draco just looks at the camera genuinely confused and says, “Merry Spotter?”

“Harry Potter,” the journalist corrects. “The Boy Who Lived?” 

“The Bird Who Licked?” Draco says, eyes innocent but his lips curling into a small smug smile.

“Harry Potter, The Chosen One!” another interviewer snaps, annoyed, her quill flicking irritated in the air.

“The Frozen Bun?” Draco asks with a shit-eating smile and can’t wait until he gets home so he and Harry can come up with some new names. They have a whole list.

I’m sorry. I may have prematurely judged you with an unworthy degree of suspicion. Well, don’t propose yet.

Did you know there’s an outtake from the 2000 Grinch movie where Jim Carrey leans in real close to Jeffrey Tambor’s face and then rips off Tambor’s prosthetic nose with his teeth
