My Brother's A Cricket

I think one of the reasons the Harry Potter Epilogue was so poorly received was because the audience was primarily made up of the Millennial generation.

We’ve walked with Harry, Ron and Hermione, through a world that we thought was great but slowly revealed itself to be the opposite. We unpeeled the layers of corruption within the government, we saw cruelty against minorities grow in the past decades, and had media attack us and had teachers tell us that we ‘must not tell lies’. We got angry and frustrated and, like Harry, Ron and Hermione, had to think of a way to fight back. And them winning? That would have been enough to give us hope and leave us satisfied.

But instead. There was skip scene. And suddenly they were all over 30 and happy with their 2.5 children.

And the Millennials were left flailing in the dust.

Because while we recognised and empathised with everything up to that point. But seeing the Golden Trio financially stable and content and married? That was not something our generation could recognise. Because we have no idea if we’re ever going to be able to reach that stage. Not with the world we’re living in right now.

Having Harry, Ron and Hermione stare off into the distance after the battle and wonder about what the future might be would have stuck with us. Hell, have them move into a shitty flat together and try and sort out their lives would have. Have them with screaming nightmares and failed relationships and trying to get jobs in a society that’s falling apart would have. Have them still trying to fix things in that society would have. Because we known Voldemort was just a symptom of the disease of prejudice the Wizarding World.

But don’t push us off with an ‘all was well’. In a world about magic, JK Rowling finally broke our suspension of disbelief by having them all hit middle-class and middle-age contentment and expecting a fanbase of teenagers to accept it.

Also. Since when was ‘don’t worry kids, you’re going to turn out just like your parents’ ever a happy ending? Does our generation even recognise marriage and money and jobs as the fulfillment of life anymore? Does our generation even recognise the Epilogue’s Golden Trio anymore?

Viktor and Yuuri aren’t the only ones going to the Pride parade, Mila and Sara are attending it too.

•MY FATHER’S REACTION TO SOME OF THE CHARACTERS FROM YURI!!! ON ICE• Above are the exact photos I showed him—

(1/?)

1) Yuuri Katsuki Dad, confidently: “Oh, I know him. That’s Yuri.” Me: “Age? Country?” Dad: “Japan…um…17?”

2) Viktor Nikiforov Dad, while laughing: “Umm…Yuri??” Me: “Ok, (laughing) age and country?” Dad: “Kasakstahn…19”

3) Yurio Plisetsky Dad: “That’s a…that’s a Jill. Jill’s 14” Me: “He’s a guy…they’re all guys…”

At this point, my sister, who had also seen yoi, and I are laughing hysterically.

Dad: “No way…ok, um…Jerome?” Me: “…sure, dad” Dad: “He’s got a big attitude…that’s and Australian. He’s thinking about throwing a shrimp on the barbie right now”

4) Otabek Altin Dad: “That’s-uh…Miguel” Me: “Ok lol where’s he from” Dad: “…Spain…he’s 19”

5) Jean-Jacques Leroy Dad: “That’s Spain’s(referring to otabek) brother…that’s Juan” Me: “Country?” Dad: “England” Me: “Age?” Dad, without hesitation: “37”

6) Chris Giacometti Dad:“Whoa, Justing Beiber 2008” Me: “Name and age?” Dad: “That’s-uh…that’s Justin, he’s 20. Like, tomorrow’s his 21st birthday and he’s planning to get VERY drunk. He’s gonna get…lit.” Me, dying of laughter: “And where’s he from” Dad: “That’s a Canadian if i’ve ever seen one…Mr…frosted tips…”

7) Phichit Chulanont Me: “Name, age, country?” Dad: “…Dora from Venezuela…he’s 13. And those are his hamsters, ee-nie, mee-nie, and mine-nie.”

Overall—

Me: “So, Dad, bonus points if you can tell me if they are gay or straight” Dad: “I’m gonna give you a little spoiler…they’re all gay…they’re figure skaters.” Me: “Ok, you have a point, but still…”

Yuuri- “gay” Viktor- “Gay” Yurio- “oh it’s jill, well i guess she’s straight” Otabek- “gay” JJ- “gay” Chris- “SCREAMING GAY…THE GAYEST OF GAY” Phichit- “…gay furry”

Me: “Ok, Dad, final and most important question. Are you ready?” Dad: “I’ve never been more ready” Me: “Two of the characters that are gay are actually in a relationship. Which characters?” Dad: “Yuuri…and…um, Viktor???” Me: “YES! YOU GOT IT!” Dad: “BOOM! NAILED IT! that’s worth 98% right there”

I think it’s pretty safe to assume that my Father has very little knowledge of Yuri!!! On Ice. If he got it right, it’s most likely because of him hearing my rants😂

Three men enter the chamber. A foggy figure appears in front of them. He offers each a wish, advises them to think wisely

Important! Be safe!

@glorious-cesspool aka @zahyo-ni-yoru-kogeki is a pedophile. Avoid any interaction with them and I advise you block them immediately. I can confirm this first hand, and if you have any doubts message me and I can show you him directly trying to have sexual behavior between me and him, with him doing this while knowing I am a minor. He has also done this to friends of mine. He is a complete creep. The police have been called and are dealing with the issue, but nonetheless I repeat, BLOCK HIM IMMEDIATELY.

Tumblr belongs to Verizon now and will exploit Black Lives Matter to make more money for Yahoo

Verizon has completed its acquisition of Tumblr parent company Yahoo, and is preventing Tumblr from participating in the day to save Net Neutrality next month on July 12, 2017.  Tumblr can also no longer freely participate in political protest like it did before.

Furthermore, Yahoo senior VP and head of Media Brands and Products Simon Khalaf gave a speech at the all-hands meeting at Tumblr last month, where he explicitly stated that Black Lives Matter is among several communities that the company should focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge, “Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to [make] a ton of money.”
