Hey Did You Know I Keep A Google Drive Folder With Linguistics And Language Books  that I Try To Update

You need to write about a random Scottish sheep farmer in the Highlands. One that can’t read and has no neighbours. Only him, his wife, five daughters and three sons and their desperate fight for survival in complete isolation.

I try not to judge people’ favorite historical figures but I cannot help but side-eye the fuck out of anyone who claims they really like Henry VIII… 

Women have more power and agency in Shakespeare’s comedies than in his tragedies, and usually there are more of them with more speaking time, so I’m pretty sure what Shakespeare’s saying is “men ruin everything” because everyone fucking dies when men are in charge but when women are in charge you get married and live happily ever after

Am I the only one that gets annoyed when people pull out those huge dinner plates to eat and only serve like two spoonfuls of food?

Who was the Potter cat?

So we all know the Potters had a cat, right?

All we have per descriptions of this cat is that 1. It was enough of a Potter to make the list when they went into hiding and 2. Harry scared it with his new broom he got from Sirius.

There is further no mention of said cat.

On the other hand, don’t we know another, really old, beaten down, ugly, sad, sad cat?

A cat that befriended Sirius Black and seemed to KNOW Peter Pettigrew’s smell, hold a grudge against him, even?

Part-kneazle, so it has a remarkable ability for finding things that are shiny and that it has a connection to, like, say, a family member.

A cat that knows it’s way around Hogwarts, around the Whomping Willow, almost like it had been there before with another owner.

A cat that absolutely REFUSED to let Hermione leave that shop without him after seeing a certain rat, was CRAZED, almost.

We have no mention of this cat/kneazle’s age, except that it had been in the shop for a while and no one had wanted it. Magical creatures live a long time. Cats live a long time. It’s within reason that this cat could be 30, even 40 years old.

It makes too much sense.

The Potter cat is Crookshanks.

just putting it out there: james potter and sirius black were bullies, remus lupin was an enabler and peter pettigrew is a literal murderer. the marauders were not flower crown wearing cinnamon rolls of goodness, they were pretty awful children.

but they were still better than snape

today i found out that victor hugo has had more sex than possibly almost any other human that has lived on this planet. 

he had so much sex his biographers straight up gave up trying to document all of his sexual partners. he was reported to fuck up to 3-9 times a day. He had a secret sex diary written in code. He had “official” and “unofficial” mistresses. One estimate was that he had ~200 sexual partners in two years. 

Icon. 

Did you guys know that when Brazil became a Republic in 1889, it was only supposed to be provisional? That it had to be decided by popular vote whether we wanted to remain a Republic or not?

Well, we did. IN 1993. 104 YEARS OF PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR.

Brazil in a nutshell, honestly.

I agree with almost everything except the part about Draco. Just because he didn't someone himself, doesn't mean he doesn't hold the same beliefs. If you can persecute Snape for calling Lily a mudblood at 15, then you can’t lower your standards for other people. Draco used the same word since the Chamber of Secrets. He threatened other students based on blood since he was twelve. He gave Harry death threats on the Hogwarts Express, in first year. He gloated about about a whole group of students being hunt down and petrified, to their faces. He bullied, attacked and harassed students based on blood for years. He was blatantly disrespectful to teachers that didn’t meet his purity standards. When do you draw the line about when Lucius’ influence start and Draco’s character begins? Not having the stomach for murder doesn’t make him any less than of a racist, bullying bigot. He’s willing to poison and curse but can’t face his victims? That doesn’t excuse his behavior.

gliderofgold replied to your post: My kingdom for people to remember that Snape never…

HE!!! WOULD!!! STILL!!! BE!!! A!!!! NAZI!!! IF!!! NEVILLE!!! WAS!!! THE!!! CHOSEN!!! ONE!!! my inner hannah will never let this go okay i’m mad

that’s the fucking thing tho he never really stopped?? he just stopped allying himself with a very specific group of people. his issue wasn’t with the rhetoric or the ideology, it was with the people, and he never stopped mistreating muggleborns! so like ! he was a blood supremacist thru and thru and before anyone tries to get up my ass because “but so was draco”: draco was a teenage boy parroting his father’s beliefs who acted as an agent of genocide only when forced and who eventually refused to act and to take a life, not because he was particularly invested in that specific life, but because it was the right thing to do.
