Can't stop thinking about the line "you treat your mouth as if its heavans gate" to describe someone who heavily regulates what comes and goes from their body whether that be in the form of strictly following a healthy diet or refraining from profanity and speaking in ways that may be deemed sinful
feeling very normal about atsushi wearing rashomon. very normal
Yes! yes to all of this!
Percy is such a complicated character and such a good one andi find a lot of people dont understand that because in fandom he is mostly relegated to 'the annoying one'.
I don't understand how people can love and idolize the twins when all their page-time is of them playing cruel jokes and being basically the same person duplicated,
AND THEY ALMOST MURDERD GRAHAM MONTAGUE BY PUSHING HIM IN THE BROKEN VANISHING CABINET BC HE WAS GOING TO TAKE POINTS AND LAUGHING ABOUT IT WHEN HE REAPPEARED 4 MONTHS LATER CATATONIC AND TRAUMATIZED FOR BEING STUCK IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE AND HAVING TO APPARATE HIMSELF WITHOUT TRAINING OUT OF IT. He splinched himself and got lodged in a toilet because at that point he was brain damaged and you shouldn't be able to apparate within hogwarts He barely survived. He was unresponsive for months. And the twins never show remorse or turn themselves in for near-manslaughter or do anything but laugh.
Against that what has Percy done? This boy became Junior undersecretary to the minister at 18 and left because his family never tried to understand or even like him. He was young and disrespected and left. Wouldn't you do the same?
Percy rant because this blog needs more posts
Listen, Percy Weasley is a member of the Weasley family so as much as you dislike him atleast respect the fact that Percy exists because if you don't that is just insulting to the character to pretend he doesnt exist.
And if you do that you're as bad as the movies where Charlie wasn't there.
Next-
I think I resent the twins a little is because there is absolutely no character development shown. Apart from Gryffindor traits(brave, courageous, etc) and being funny, the twins wouldn't exist.
Notice how I say twins because there is absolutely no difference highlighted between them. They're both same or similar. All these differences are headcanons by fans. That's not what pisses me off the most.
The fact that there is no remorse or guilt for the pranks they play. There is no apology for sending Percy dung. No apology for catering to Ron's acronophobia. No apology for anything.
And when Percy comes back, Fred says he's a moron. Okay maybe that's brother talk but seriously?
There's no growth. They were immature when they were little and still immature at 20.
And then there's the whole leaving from school. I mean you are in your last year. All that is left are your exams but you make the reckless decision to leave immediately. After which there are no consequences of your actions. Your parents forgive you and all is well.
The twins never receive any punishment which obviously bolsters their confidence and they become more wild.
Percy is a good person and a good brother.
If someone insults you constantly and it's your own family who does so. Imagine
In your mail you receive animal dung.
You get trapped into a pyramid
You overhear your brother talking about how you're the worst person to their best friend
Your father laughs at you and doesn't show you respect.
Your father accuses you of betraying them
Your father tells you you got the promotion due to him and not from your hardwork
Your brothers take your things and ruin it constantly
Your brothers make fun of you in front of your boss
Your brothers and sister throw food at you
You have a special nickname known as git which is not used fondly
Your gf is in a coma and you overhear your brother making fun of her.
You are accused of being an accomplice to your boss's illegal work and are about to go to court for a trial and your family is not bothered.
So you're tired of the torture. You leave.
And besides your mother noone tries to contact you.
Why should Percy return?
Let me make this very clear:
They weren't even worried about him DURING A WAR?????
So when I say Percy shouldn't have to apologise first I mean it.
Another thing
People who believe Percy left his family over a promotion.
Did you not read how Arthur accused Percy of being a spy?
Did you not read how he was treated by the twins?
Did you just ignore how Ron talked about him?
Did you ignore the fact that they believed a villain supposed to be dead was alive?
The entire Magic community believed that Harry was lying?
Did you not read how everytime he talked people kept shutting him down?
Did you not read the way his Dad kept disrespecting him?
It wasn't about the job. It was about the lack of respect in the Burrow. It was about the way he was ignored. It was about the way he is made fun of for being different. It was about the fact that being quiet is wrong. It was about how being smart is wrong.
It was about how Percy didn't fit in the Burrow and noone bothered to comfort him about it.
Finally people who believe that Percy was responsible for the Chamber opening.
1 question -How ?????
How is Percy stopping Ginny from telling Harry about the diary equivalent to opening the Chamber?
People who believe this, I can't waste my time on yall. I seriously can't.
And the real ending-
People who hate that Percy is alive and Fred dead.
Listen you're allowed to have favourites. But hating someone because they lived instead of your favourite character is too much a stretch don't you think?
You can have your opinions. You can dislike Percy. All that I'm asking is that you find legitimate reasons to dislike him.
Don't hate him for surviving a war.
I'll just like to end this with:
I relate to Percy Weasley and I believe that he is one of the best complex side character written and we should appreciate him more.
Ok but like if they all came back to life, I feel like it could go one of two directions with how the choir reacts afterward
They could either never bring up what happened with Karnak because it was like too painful or something
Or it could go in the complete opposite direction with them constantly bringing up what happened, usually to make fun of each other
Like one day this one teacher is being a huge jackass so when the teacher asks if they have any fun facts they’d like to share with the class Noel just stands up and goes “When a lioness has children-“
Ocean and Constance are desperately trying not to laugh
Mischa makes it a personal game to call as many people as possible a spielverderber
Somebody is talking for a really long time during a presentation and when it’s over Ricky just signs “And that is why not everyone should have a library card!” while Mischa just tries to not burst out laughing
Penny will sometimes recite Ricky’s Silver Surfer speech just so she can laugh about it later when people are like “Wow. So deep 🥲”
Sometimes you’ll just hear one of them humming everyone’s songs
The funniest time this has happened is when Noel caught Ocean humming “This Song Is Awesome”
Constance bakes everyone Zolar themed cupcakes and they’re so good
i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’
Nile slid up to the table across from Nicky, palms smacking the wood loudly as she leaned forward. “So, Christmas.”
Nicky didn’t even look up from his work. “You’ll have more fun with Andy.”
“Andy?” Nile asked dubiously.
“Mhm.”
“The Andy who scoffs at organized religion because she used to be worshipped as a god, that Andy?”
“The very same.”
“Not that I think you’re lying but you understand why I’m skeptical, right?”
Nicky took a breath and looked up at her, leaning on one elbow. “Andy is a pragmatic hedonist who’s spent lifetimes in the far north—midwinter and solstice celebrations of all sorts are burned into her soul as times for hot food, strong drink, and good company kept around the fire. I, meanwhile, am semi-lapsed medieval clergy with a bone to pick with God.”
Nile blinked a couple times. “…point taken. How’s Booker?”
“Depressed but readily motivated by mulled wine and fonder of festive chintz than he likes to let on.”
“Cool, thanks.”
ok satellites are all alone up there just searching for everything and anything and it’s so beautiful and I hope they aren’t lonely
Sherlock: Zugzwang.
Me: *criminal minds flashbacks* HUH
Hiya! I started listening to the Lost Terminal because you mentioned it on here. I'm a few seasons in and really loving it. My friend is looking for some new narrative pods and I know you listen to a bunch. Got any suggestions? They can be finished or ongoing.
Oh do I! Have a couple, in alphabetical order:
Absolutely No Adventures - An outright pratchettesque fantasy parody about a (very) Chosen One who has studied the art of baking instead heeding the call to adventure and refuses to go on any quests.
Care and Feeding of Werewolves - A (in-universe) podcast addressing current events and issues in the (American) paranormal community, hosted by a witch and medical practitioner. Has very good plot and worldbuilding.
Folxlore - Queer horror podcast set in Glasgow. Excellent show. "This apartment complex is very haunted, extremely cursed, and it sometimes randomly shifts to an eldritch nightmare realm. Everyone here's queer though, including the building itself. 4 stars out of 5."
Gabriela & The Inn Between - A recent botany undergrad takes a job as Innkeeper at an inn with very strange and unusual guests. Cozy and low-stakes.
Gastronaut - Set a couple hundred years from now, a food journalist travels from Earth, then Mars, then a distant space colony. He's pathetic but in a good way. Excellent food descriptions, nice anti-capitalistic and anti-colonialist themes. Higher stakes and fewer steaks than expected.
Ghost Wax - I've always disagreed with the idea that necromancers are always evil. This show agrees - it's a horror podcast about an ancient necromancer solving supernatural murders by interviewing the victims. Very thrilling. Many feels.
Icarus Rising - Queer airship pirates! Stow-aways! Rebellion! Chases and Thrills! High-stakes drama and action among the clouds! An adorable ship cat!
Kalila Stormfire's Economical Magick Services - Very cool story about witches, fairies, werewolves, and more, a story about what makes a community, about modern-day working class neighborhoods, psychology, love, and of course magic.
Parkdale Haunt - This one I haven't listened to yet, but I've heard very good things about it. It's a horror show about a haunted house, set in Toronto, made with love for that city. Disregard this suggestion if you don't like Toronto, I've never been.
SCP: Find Us Alive - A podcast set in the SCP universe, about a site getting sucked into some sort of pocket dimension that keeps resetting in a sort of time loop. Very interesting cast of characters. Requires minimal knowledge about how the SCP Foundation works.
Starfall - Fantasy audio drama about the adventures of a theatre troupe that uses magical items and illusions in their work, and about a young warrior with mysterious powers who joins them.
Tell No Tales - Horror story about a company that specialises in removing ghosts from haunted places. The protagonist quickly becomes concerned about the ethics of that and tries to prove that they need to start treating spirits with the humanity they deserve.
The Antique Shop - Urban Fantasy drama about a student getting a job at the kind of antiques shop that you only find when you need to. Lots of cursed items. An excellent cat. Queerplatonic relationships.
The Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality - An AI audio tour guide shows you various interesting exhibits and learns how to be a person. There's lots of feelings here.
The Strange Case of Starship Iris - Sci-Fi story set in the aftermath of a war between Earth and extraterrestrials. It's about outer space, survival, espionage, resistance, identity, friendship, found family, romance, and secrets. The intro song is excellent.
The Tower - A young woman climbs an ancient, unfathomably tall tower from a forgotten age. It stretches up into the sky, through the smog and the clouds. Very vibes.
The White Vault - Travel Is Not Advised. Very scary story about what's been hiding below the ice and the stone. What's been slumbering for ages. What's now beginning to wake anew.
I hope this selection helps! I have more, but I felt it would be better to keep the list short-ish.
either junichirou's really good at acting or he should reaaaaaaaaaaaally be allowed to kill someone
I love this so much!!!! Its so lovely!!!!
I made a new genderfluid flag bc the old one doesnt repersent all of us tbh or that well idk if i could get people to actually use it tho tbh but id love if they would
If you ever wanna use it dont worry about credit same if you make art with it im not worried about credit i just wanted to contribute to our community
A Place where I dump all my thoughts on Books, Movies, Tv shows and any Fandom I end up involved in along the way. Favorite Characters include: Percy Weasley, Regulus Black, Dionysus, Mycroft Holmes, the 12th Doctor, Bruce Banner and many More.
