#but she Neville Longbottomed

[lindyloosims]

I've been taking shots of Kirsty & Ryan today, this is before I even edit it, she's just really pretty (biased opinion I know but I rarely make good looking female sims). Is it possible for pregnant sims to glow? Because damn girl! 😍

[rewritingcanon]

headcanon that seamus and dean are such gossipers and they always like telling ron who has the most dramatic reactions to whose dating who and who said what to who and who broke up with who, neville always sleeps through it and harry pretends to sleep but then he’ll say something randomly like “oh ive never liked her anyway” and then everyone will realise he’s been awake and listening the entire time

[radlymona]

the whole "jk rowling's names for characters are racist stereotypes" drives me CRAZY because it's the same crowd of people who claim to care about US-centrism and colonialism erasing native cultures, yet when a person part of a racial minority doesn't live in the US and therefore their parents didn't name them Joe or Sarah they freak tf out because those are the only minorities they talk to and the only time they choose to actually engage with anything non-white it's to complain about racist caricatures so their only exposure to non-US culture is racism and they start to associate any non-white non-US names as racist I lose my mind a bit more each time

Absolutely agreed about the point of associating any non-white, non-US name as racist. Like these are just common names from where we come from. In My Big Fat Greek Wedding there's a whole gag about about how Toula has like 80% of male relatives named Nick. And Greek people love this joke, because it's true! And we love to laugh about the endless amounts of toulas, roulas, and soulas which sound ridiculous to english-speakers but as just normal parts of a language that loves to use diminutives. The nicknames we use for each other at home would sound babyish to most english speakers, but are perfectly acceptable among your friends and family.

And like english-speakers being so racist against "ethnic names" (for a lack of a better term) is a reason why so many immigrants drop their perfectly common and acceptable names in their home country/culture and use either an anglicised version or just a completely different english name for convenience. Like yeah you're probably a lot less likely to come across an Italian named Luigi now than say Daniel or some other acceptable male name. Because people stopped naming their kids that are considered funny/stereotypical by english speakers. Almost as if racism leads to cultural assimilation?

But back to JKR. What's more progressive? An awkward attempt at cultural inclusion written at a time in which name databases like nameberry didn't exist (while living in a 90% white country), or like outright ignoring their cultural identity and naming an Indian character "Jane" or smth.

Social Media AU - The Hogwarts Tonsillitis Outbreak (Part 3) (+ Harry outing his uncles?)

No one tell Harry that the reason Sirius burst into tears is because Lily Potter loved this movie and he suddenly remembered watching it with her 😭

[olivianott]

I AM IN PIECES

(I like you more than I planned | part three) start from the beggining here

─•~❉᯽❉~•─

Always be one step ahead. ~ Prepared for betrayal. ~ Don’t give anyone the opportunity to hurt you. ~ Don’t let them see your emotions, it’s a weakness. They can and will use them against you.

Those are the things Pansy remembers from her childhood as the only daughter of a pureblood family where appearance and status are everything.

Masks, pretending, backstabbing, cruelty.

And where did it get her?

Three weeks lying in bed contemplating her life. FIGHTING HER OWN MIND.

~❉᯽❉~

Sitting in her mind healer’s office, after two missed sessions, she is asking herself if it even makes any sense to try and heal now. She knows she is forever broken, never to be completely healed from the teachings of her youth and betrayal by her parents.

She just rolls her eyes at the healer’s question.

“What are your happiest memories?” She can’t think of any. Same as when she wanted to cast a Patronus.

She never tried again.

The healer has a beautiful bouquet sitting in a nice-looking vase on a corner table of their office.

Why she always notices the flowers now, she doesn’t know. LIAR

The vase is interesting. Black, uneven at the top, with thin golden veins running through it in a few places. She asks the healer about it.

KINTSUGI

She has never heard that word before. But she needs to know more. The healer tells her about the traditions of their culture.

Can she be like that vase? Forever broken but put together by golden glue to become something functional again and beautiful too?

She catches the scent of the flowers… peonies, roses, and hydrangeas. And there it is. Happy memory. Her golden glue.

Neville.

RANDOM HARRY POTTER THINGS MY FRIEND @vampghoul HAS SAID😭😭

[silalcarin]

NOTE: This has been sitting in my drafts since literally late 2018, roughly 2 months after this video was posted on YouTube. I decided to finally post it... 5 years later. 👀

Harry = Chandler

Ron Weasley = Ross Geller

Hermione = Rachel

Neville = Joey

Ginny Weasley = Monica Geller

Luna = Phoebe

Ron = Ross and Ginny = Monica because they are siblings. You literally cannot have them in any other role because they are siblings. That's why I have their full names listed for just those two.

Harry = Chandler. Both are sarcastic and have a dark sense of humor. Both are insecure towards their main love interest and soulmate, Ginny = Monica. [In Book 6, Harry feels that the only way Dean/Ginny will break up is if he takes Felix Felicis. Even after Dean/Ginny break up, Harry still feels insecure because other guys ask Ginny out, and he wants to take Felix Felicis again to put the odds in his favor.] Both also get very jealous when another guy shows interest in, or dates, Ginny = Monica (Dean, Viktor; Nurse Dan, Richard, Don). Both are also Amazon Chasers towards Ginny = Monica. Both also fear how Ron = Ross will react to them falling in love with and dating Ginny = Monica. Both also have been best friends with Ron = Ross since the day they first met, and were roommates all throughout their years at school (Hogwarts; college).

Ron = Ross. Both get very jealous when other guys show interest in, or date, their main love interest, Hermione = Rachel (Viktor, Cormac; Paolo, Mark, Joshua, Gavin, Joey). Both also have a long-standing Will They Or Won't They relationship with Hermione = Rachel that lasts for literally the entire series. Both are also very happy that their best friend, Harry = Chandler, is dating their younger sister, Ginny = Monica, and become brothers-in-law by the end of the series. Ron is initially quiet after Harry/Ginny publicly share their first kiss, but after a moment, he gives them his blessing; Ross is initially angry to learn about Chandler/Monica, partially due to his life issues and taking medication for his rage, but after learning that they are sincerely in love, he gives them his blessing.

Hermione = Rachel. Both get very jealous, to the point of being petty and scornful about it, when their main love interest, Ron = Ross, dates or is interested in other girls (Fleur, Lavender; Julie, Bonnie, Cheryl, Emily, Jill, Katie). Both are also not very interested in playing sports compared to Ginny = Monica, who is their closest female friend. Both are also happy to ship Harry/Ginny = Chandler/Monica.

Neville = Joey. Academically, both are the worst of the sextet (Neville because, up until the sixth book, he kept using his father's wand and not his own true wand; Joey because he didn't care about school and focused more on having sex). Despite that, both show immense talent in one area (Herbology for Neville; cooking spaghetti sauce and baking cookies for Joey). Both are sensitive underneath the surface. Both are fiercely loyal to their friends.

Ginny = Monica. Both have three serious relationships total, where the first two lasted about roughly a year each (Michael, Dean; Richard, Pete), and then they marry their third and final boyfriend, who is their soulmate (Harry; Chandler). Both were also initially shy towards Harry = Chandler in their first official meeting. Both also get jealous, but not to the point of being petty or scornful about it, when other girls show interest in Harry = Chandler (Gabrielle, Cho; Wendy). Both are also Violently Protective Girlfriends towards Harry = Chandler (Ginny defends Harry from Malfoy in Book 2 and then Blaise/Cormac/Dean/Seamus/Hermione in Book 6; Monica defends Chandler from Janine in Season 6 and then their wedding photographer in Season 7). Both are also tomboys, hot-tempered, and enjoy playing sports.

Luna = Phoebe. Both are Cloudcuckoolanders who occasionally make their friends feel uncomfortable due to their antics and beliefs. Nuff said.

ship bingo! percy weasley x neville longbottom

[ravenclaw-draco]

So I've been having this Alternate Hogwarts House Sorting AU cooking in my brain for forever where Ron is Gryffindor, Harry is Slytherin, Neville is Hufflepuff, and Draco is Ravenclaw because of a slight change to how everyone gets sorted, but it's made clear that both Harry and Draco were hatstalls for how well they fit into more than one house (Red/Green and Green/Blue respectively) and on top of that, every dorm room has at least one person from each house to encourage inter-house unity so all four of them are roommates, causing a pretty significant change of fate because they're no longer in these like-minded echo-chambers, meaning that most of the blood purity-obsessed Slytherins are eventually steered in the right direction, even if it doesn't prevent the second wizarding war, and I have like reasoning to back it up and a serious take on it and how it would realistically work and not work, but also?? I kinda just wanna post my fun little drabbles about Ron, Harry, Neville, and Draco being little shits together and causing trouble while living their best lives

[theflikchic]

WAIT okay- so speaking from a personal mindset- you ever think about how Harry actually had to THINK about what his true worst fear was before he got a Boggart that genuinely emotional wrecks him, just like Molly is wrecked when she sees HER Boggart? Meanwhile, Neville, Ron, and the others just pop one out that's not only easy to deal with but really DOESN'T have the same emotional effect on them? I just remembered that when I read PoA, I thought to myself as a KID "I would see my dead family so I'd have to think of something quick and easy to replace it like a horror movie villain" because of le mental illness.

My point is that I don't think any of those Boggarts were those kids' actual, genuine worst fears. Were they VALID fears? Yes. I won't pretend they aren't. That would be cruel, especially towards characters I like (like Neville!). But from experience, I reeeeally think the intense trauma of certain characters- and their age- shows that those other kids were really afraid of what they viewed to be the biggest threat to them they could currently perceive. They didn't have to think about their real worst fears because as far as they knew, everyone was locked up and Voldemort was gone.

Obviously, none of them saw Death Eaters or Voldemort as potential threats, nor do they have the same specific trauma as say Harry or Molly. I didn't have that trauma either but my own le mental illness caused me to think about what MY Boggart would be in a similar way that Harry considered his. I doubt, if Neville saw a Boggart during OotP, it'd still be Snape and I doubt Ron's would still be a spider after GoF.

[kiera-raelyn]

Ginny's character being just utterly mangled remains one of the most infuriating things about the movies to me. I mean, my list of complaints for the movies is extensive (PoA wasn't even in chronological order!), but that's pretty high up there. My girl's a badass bitch and you don't see like, any of that, in the films.

i love the silver trio so much but it always grinds my gears when i remember that while neville and luna still don’t have that much screen time, you still get an essence of who they are as people. their personalities, their morals, their relationship dynamics with other characters (like harry) and yet ginny, despite being a bigger character than both of them, and being harry’s future partner, mother of his children, most important person in his life (to name a few), ginny has exactly ZERO opportunity to shine. unlike her pals, she gets little to no screen time, let alone scenes one-on-one with harry (which both neville and luna have), her entire personality is erased. everything that makes ginny who she is is removed.

it’s absolutely infuriating to watch. as an audience, how are we supposed to get to know her? to understand her? to understand why she is the woman harry wants to spends the rest of his life with? like i love luna and neville, they’re wonderful characters and additions to the story, but prioritising them over ginny in the films (and giving them additional scenes like luna and harry in the forest alone?? it’s a sweet scene but also??? harry & luna don’t interact like that in the books, not to mention luna is much more eccentric and unintentionally amusing in the books, more so than she is perpetually wise and friendly… like we couldn’t have the library scene or the ‘lucky you’ scene in ootp - arguably the most important scenes for ginny (and harry’s) development but we have time for luna to share some nice slightly ooc wisdom with harry? again, i love luna, and i love that scene too, but cutting other important scenes…?)

i could go on and on about this. but i just hate that she is so sidelined, and discarded in the films, despite being such an important character as an individual and in relation to harry. i’ll never understand you david yates. ginny, sweetie, i’m so sorry.

[caligulaegon]

they really don’t want me to make that boy a girl but i will anyway
