j.k.r. needs like one close friend to sit her down and go: “okay, but, go over this with me again. you decided the evil snake your dark wizard kept as a pet and vessel of his fragmented horrific soul – the one that has to be murdered in order to defeat the evil wizard – is in fact….an asian woman who was cursed to eventually become a beast and monster in her own body. am i getting this right? the asian woman turns into a snake because her bloodline is cursed and then she becomes the pet of a white supremacist with magic. you invented a body curse specifically for turning women into monsters and your first thought was not like, subversion of fairy tale misogyny but….to add a layer of racism? just trying to understand here.”

JK Rowling in 2019: Lily was pregnant with Snape’s baby when she died and that baby…turned out to be Dobby.
stop calling every piece of fabric with a plaid pattern “flannel”
flannel is a soft, warm cotton. it has nothing to do with what pattern is on the cloth
I see there’s drama in the plaid fandom
im a lesbian
i think a far better metric for sci-fi is not “hard” or “soft” or “science fantasy” or whatever but the ease with which one can fuck aliens
from one end to the other, the scale is:
- it is impossible to fuck aliens because we have not found any
- it is technically impossible to fuck aliens because we have not found any, but you can fuck a wide variety of genetically-modified humans
- it is impossible to fuck aliens because no alien species has anything resembling sex
- it is difficult to fuck aliens due to divergent anatomy, but with great care and dedication it can be done
- it is difficult to fuck aliens due to travel difficulties
- it is moderately difficult to fuck aliens, as they are down to clown, but it requires a degree of courage
- it requires no special effort to fuck aliens, because that’s hotter than reasonable levels of biodiversity
- it is easy to fuck aliens, and you are cross-fertile with them because this is a universe with the Strong Hodgkin’s Law
- it is easy to fuck aliens because you are all descended from ancient bullshit progenitors
(obviously there are intermediate stages but i do think this is a useful rubric)
star trek canon goes through 5 of these depending on era and species
‘aces are taking up space in gay bars’ is really just. discourse in want of an issue. i’d give anything to have ‘too many aces’ as my main complaint about gay bars instead of like, hens night parties, straight guys trying to hook up at hens night parties, straight guys preying on bi women and lesbians, just all straight people thinking we’re a spectacle. how the actual fuck do you get tricked into seeing aces as the biggest threat here
in about 8 months horny bowser is going to be looked at in the same way as the onceler and you all know it
gonna be real with yall i dont know if ive ever met someone who both a) had interesting stories and b) was at no point in their life a member of the criminal(ized) underclass
like anybody who is/ever has been homeless? a junkie? a whore? a dealer? etc? fun and interesting and a joy to be around. folks whose most stressful life experience was getting a rejection letter from their first choice college? practically foetal. boring as hell. no sense of humor. im just telling it like it is
What the fuck. My best friend hasn’t done anything like that and she is the funniest person I know. People who idealice rebels and “criminals” are the dumbest person around.
Sorry
you dont know how to take a joke do you
i dont “idealice [sic] rebels and ‘criminals’”. i have trouble relating to and with people who have completely different life experiences from me! that’s pretty common lmao
also your best friend is boring sorry
Whenever
I see people quoting/referencing/parodying My
Immortal it’s always one of the same four or five lines. You know the ones.The
iconic opening paragraph, “Hi my name is
Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair… (et
cetera).”“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!”“I MAY BE A HOGWARTS
STUDENT… BUT I AM ALSO A SATANIST!”“Then he put his thingie
into my you-know-what and we did it for the first time.”“And Loopin was
masticating to it!”As
great as those are, I’d like to throw a spotlight on what I think are some
of the underappreciated parts of this classic work of fanfiction.
- Ebony puts blood on her Count Chocula cereal instead of milk.
- Enoby is canonically a weeaboo and speaks to her friends in Fangirl Japanese.
- Harry’s scar is now a pentagram instead of a lightning bolt, so either he found
some sort of spell to alter the appearance of the scar or he actually took the time to carve a
pentagram into his forehead.- There is an OC named either Tom Riddle or Tom Rid who works at a “punkgoff” store
in Hogsmeade and has absolutely nothing to do with Voldemort, he just happens
to have the exact same name.- Tara somehow got Fred and George mixed up with Crabbe and Goyle.
- The reason Snape doesn’t like Harry in this fic is because Snape is Christian
and Harry is a Satanist.- Marty McFly literally appears out of nowhere to help Enoby travel through “tim”
with his “tim machine.”- Chapter 11 ends with Hagrid singing along to “a gothic version of a song by 50
Cent.”- Voldemort inexplicably speaks in Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe.
- Voldemort wears high heels.
- Draco has a flying black Mercedes-Benz and a black MCR broom.
- Snape has a Dork Mark on his penis.
- Speaking of penises, Draco is apparently “hung like a stallone.” I guess Tara
is a Rambo fan?- The Hedwig/Voldemort sex scene, wherein Hedwig is a male human instead of a
female owl, for some reason.- Dumbledore flies around on his broomstick while holding a loaf of rye bread. At
least, that’s what I think Tara meant by “Sudenly
a gothic old man flu in on his broomstick. He had lung black hair and a looong
black bread.”- Oh yeah, and Dumbledore is an Avril Lavigne fanboy, because of course he is.
- James Potter’s “goff” nickname is Samoro, because Tara erroneously believes
this to be the masculine form of the name Samara.- Draco’s singing voice is described as “a
cross between Gerard, Joel, Chester, Pierre and Marilyn Manson.”- Tara’s brief feud with her editor Raven, as chronicled in the author’s notes, may or may not have had something to do with Raven borrowing Tara’s sweater
and not giving it back. IDK, it’s unclear.- Voldemort smokes a “gothic blak Nightmare b4 Christmas cigar.”
- McGonagall has the best insults, like “horny simpletons” and “mediocre dunces” and probably some others I’m forgetting.
- Dobby only appears once in the entire fic and literally all he does is watch
Snape and Lupin have sex, and then run away crying.- Sirius is referred to as Harry’s dogfather, and not gonna lie, even if it was a typo I
think that is a genuinely clever pun.- The Hogwarts janitor may or may not be Chuck Norris.
- Tara accurately predicted how Harry would defeat Voldemort in Deathly Hallows. No, really. “nd den hairy wil have 2 kommit suicide so
voldimort will die koz he will rilly be a horcrox!!!!!111”- This line: “Snap stated loafing
meanly. He took out a kamera anvilly.”- And this one: “‘Crosio!’ I shited pointing my wound.
Snoop scremed and started running around da room screming.”- “Azerbaijan”
- “Hoes of Wax”
- “Tom Bombodil”
- “Cornelio Fuck”
- “Professor Slutborn”
- “Preacher McGongol”
- “Lumpkin”
- “TaEbory”
- “The Bark Lord”
- “Vadermort”
This is truly the classic of our generation. I want students to explicate this for AP tests.
Did you know…
Candles on romantic dinner tables were traditionally used to prevent prospective lovers from leaning over to steal a kiss before they were married
If you want to kiss you must brave the FIRE
